HITTER alias lee Cream--A scene Falht-
ed from q Sitting Rt the Dinner-tabie
OF Nashville Hotel.
An instance of genuine rural simplicity
reached our ears from the dining.tabie OF
one of our most popular hotels a day or
two since, in this manner A young man
from the country, a visitor to the estimable
lady of the portly landlord ofthe aforesaid
hotel, took his seat near us, and with gen
uine appetite let into the prepared food in
manner worthy the most austere german
dizer in the land, Vegetables, meats and
the little bon rnots and bon ViraHts fled like
ebafT before the wind, and the consequence
was in less time than it requires to rehearsa
it, the Juvenile country" had gone through
all, and no doubt

At some banquet table deserted
Anon, the white aproned Ualet came with
a tray actually grooming with the handi-
work of the confectioner He cleared away
the debris of the first table, and gave coun-
try the Second course," amongst which
was heaping saucer Of delicious ice cream,
that from its sOlidness seemed TO have been
frozen in the neighborhood of the Arctic
regions The young man pushed away the
vessel in diBdain, and in an authoritative
and seemingly all-wise tone, ordered the
waiter to "aVauntl and quit my presence !;
don't want any of your cassed builder

man of Africa, with pop-eyed wonder,

Y. NJ c. young man" says we, at
tempting TO stay the tide of ill-feeling that
seemed likely to engulf the two disputants,

The guests in the dining hall at this
iuncture were staring with Amusement all
was confusion An old grey-headed man
in the corner commenced picking his teeth
with a vinegar eruet drygoOds clerk,
with hair parted in center, tried TO wrap
up a "peach-cobbler" in his kerchief. II
was terrible such a scene we ne'er had seen
before. We had read of like story away
back long years ago, but this time we be
held it as it burst in all its truthfulness
upon us. The excitement ran high and
warm (the day was a regular scorcher.)
Again we attempted to reconcile the parties
at Ioggerheads. CRY the cream, says we"

The banks appear to have regained the
gresnba cks temporarily discussed for July
dividends or sent to the neighboring cities
early in the month. They now hold with
in $578, 900 of the same total as on July T.
Their specie deposits also continue to IN
crease, notwithstanding the exports to Ea-
rope. The cause Of this ia found IN the
heavy disbursements of the Treasury Othce
for July interest, which are now ST., 893,-
600 ahead of the July customs receipts, and
also the reimbursement Of the matured
principal of the loans OF 1S47-fS, on which
the interest has ceased. These amounted
on the 1st Of June to 1852, 900 and on lat
of July to about Sc, 100000, Of which bal
ance probably at least So, 800, 900 viii have
been presented and paid by the close Of this
month. The total gold payments out OF
the Treasury in June and July, for inter
eat and principal Of the public debt, wall
aggregate at all the offices about $37 300
600, and the customs receipts lnto The
Treasury about S27 500, 600; leaving in the
ownership Of the government at the close
of July nearly SGO,OOO,OOO as against $6g,-
