ticed, on the the bill boards on the avenue, an

instant ct the Canterbury, OF MIR J. H. Ogden,
known as the Irish Ambassador" accompa-
MED with colored cut of the gentleman in
costume On MoBday morning Mr.. Lea, pro-
prietor of the Can't bury, received a telegram
from physician in Philadelphia, that Mr..
Ogden was III with dysept-ry, but thought he
would be able to appear on Thursday, Mr..
on Monday night, and heard nothing further
Of the mater until Thursday night, when a
second dispatch was received, announcing the
death OF Mr. Ogden. The Philadelphia Inoui.
Ter Of yesterday publishes feeling tribute to
the memory of the deceased, who was we'll
known in that city, both In private and pro-
tessional circles.
THE PKACH MARKBT.-The supply OF
peaches is abundant in New York, PhiIadeI-
phia and Baltimore. Prices have declined CON.
siderably in Baltimore within a week. Itap
pears from the Philadelphia papers that the
markets OF that city are fairly glutted with
them, and they are selling al from 25 to SO cents
per basket The price Of sugar, it is stated, has
determined many persons hereto fore engaged
in the business of hermetic ally sealing fruits,
70 discontinue 1t shis year: Hence there Is
falling OF in the dem and for peaches. In this
city, also, there Is an abundant supply. and
they are getting tolerably cheap, no, doubt
from the same eanse as in Philadelphia, viz:
the high price OF sugar; housekeepers not being
willing to impoverish themselves by pureha-
sing peaches for preserving purposes.
HANMAoK's-This great resort of all lovers
OF good eating has just now some specialities
In the way OF luxuries, amongst which we
ought to designate the soft crabs served up in
sucn perfection at this restaurant. But its bill
OF fare Is excellent all the way through, and
the attendance and all the ct cetsrds in keeping
with the superior table spread. At this season
sitive TO bad fare, il is satisfae tory to have
cosy resort, like Hammaek's, to fall back upon
where the dishes are so abundantiy appetizing
In all seasons. "
