new YORK LETTER.
rrRom DUB OWN CORRESPONDENTS.
Nrw yoRK. June 23.-In hastily written post
acript appended to my last letter, informed you
thot Iudpe CARpozA had decided that the Excise
law ia null void, and-ab iast1o de .ttae-unconsti-
t,,t;ona1 and that the people were jubant in spir-
ta in anticipation of larger amount of license,
ond licanses to imbbe and sell spirits calculated
to make the jubilant more jubilant STILL To-mor-
row will be great day here, being the first Sun
dav after the delivery of this important decision.
a half of New York will celebrate the Sabbath day
nm this occasion by becoming most gloriously ele-
yated not to say drunk. AS the Herald justly
nrediots it is probable that the Board will appeal
to the Supreme Court, and, in case this Court
should sustain Judge CARDozA's decision, will ap-
neal once more to the Court of last resort; but
that meanwhile a new election will be held, when
the whole thing will be quashed effeotually and
the law annulled forever.
Let all beware of paper collars-at least such of
them as are beautifully polished and glazed. It
has been positively asoertained that this polish OF
gloss is given o the collar by submitting the pa
per to chemical preparation in which arsenic is
one of the chief ingredients. Next that after wear
ing them for three years, the skin in the back
part Of the neck becomes impregnated with the
poison and breaks out into horrible sores and
carbuncles. There have been hundreds OF In
stances here where this effect has been produced;
wherefore, those who are wise would do we'll and
take warning in time. It were simply ridiculous for
any one to oonte nd that he has worn these collars
for year or two without any such ll-effect being
produced, for 1t has been calculated and demon
strated that 1t takes at least thres years for tbe
poison to do it's work. This precaation, however,
need only be adopted with the CLOSED COLLARS
ALI that do not wear this polish-auch as We OBJ
serve on some visiting cards which go through
the same process-are harmless, and may be worn
with impunity. have heard of physician here
who has sixteen patients afflicted with terrible
sores and carbunces-all of them had the car
buncles on the back Of the neok and all have been
wearing these paper collars for three years past
have dwelt thus on this subject, as mean to
give timely and important warning to your
readers.
York press is no more. Madame JULIE DE MAR
auEn1rEs died on Thursday last at Philadelphia.
The Madame was Miss GRANVILLE, daughter OF
DR.. n. D. GRANVILLE, distinguished London
physician, who had, moreover, made some mark
in the literary world as the author of work on
the "spas Of Germ any, and another on Russia
When Miss GRANVILLE was yet an infant her
father moved from London to Paris, and here she
wrote her first work, entitled q las and Outs Of
Paris" Miss GRANVILLE was married whilst quite
young to the Baron DE MARaUER1TEs, and the
happy couple came over to America in 1648. The
happy couple, however, soon became an exceed
ingly unhappy couple. The green-eyed monster
entered the heart of the Baron, who betook him
self to Europe, carrying along the ugly monster
with him, but leaving his handsome wife behind
The handsome wife gave readings, concerts, &o.,
for her support, and was soon admitted into the
Arst circles of society here and being taken under
the patronizing wing Of N. P. WILLIS and Others
took up the pen again, and welded it so success
fully as to raise her to the rank Of Queen Of the
Bohemians. She was divorced from the Baron
and m arried GEO. s. FOSTER, Of the Tribune -
From Foster she was soon divorced by death. In
1853 she married SAMUEL T. REA, of Philadelphia,
and left this city to reside in the last named place.
Since then ADA CLARE has reigned here as the
Bohemian Queen. Who is ADA CLARE
ADA GLARE is we'll known to many of the first
young ladies Of your city who went to school
about ten or fifteen years ago. They will no
doubt remember Miss ADA Mc******f, the most
intelligent and accomplished of the pupils at the
seminary Of the Misses BATES. It will be remem-
bered also that ADA was exceedingly religious and
eccentric-indeed, she was 30 much inclined to
religion that she could scarcely ever be induced
to enter q theatre, and yet we find her a few
months later making her debut as an actress on
the New York stage.
The students Of the South Carolina College, in
the classes, think, between 52 and 56, will re-
member q handsome lady who entered the chapel
one Sunday, and who, just as the Rev. DR.. REY-
ro1ps arose to deliver sermon, arose suddenly
and abruptly retired. Miss ADA had nothing at
all against the Rev. gentleman, but had visited
the chapel in expectation of hearing sermon
from the great and eloquent THonNwELL, and her
disappointment got the better of her sense OF
politeness and good breeding. Failing in her
debut here as an actress she took up the pen,
and has met with sufficient success to raise hor to
the queenly position (2) she now occupies
