From Our own oOrreuOnderA
New YORK, Dec. 10, 1858.


His last stay in New York was made at the
Metropolitan. His present one is at the st.
Nicholas.
On Tuesday-as stated he would-he did
several things remarkably well.
In the morning he went to A. I. Sewarts new
store, and did tha. up in no time. Mr.. S.ewars
gave him rice warm shawl icr Ms. Grant,
aud pair of gloves all round for the l.tle
Graute. Wbe her Mr.. Stewart took him to
lunch can't say; but if he did he DIRE on the
cashier probably for fifty cents, and returned to
the cashier what was lett alter the lunCh Was
over.
This, 7 un lerstand, Is A. I. SIS manner
Of doug.
General Giant then went TO the wedding o p
Colonel Benz amin with the daugh er Of the Hou.
Hamilton Fish.
He then went TO the ST. Nichola7, and was
called upon until five O'clock. He then drove tp
the Union League Club, and was dined upoa
until an appropriate be itime.
The substance OF his speech was that he
thought be had set one good example to hJs
couu,rymen-thst of Ignoring the talent OF
public speech making.
Mr.. John L. Young, who from having once
been prote9e has risen TO be pro Wess, made
a neat aud nervous response to the toast the
Union PTcs'."
On Tuesday afternoon the case of
COMMODORE MEADE
came up before Judge Sutherland of the Su
preme Court.
The commencement of the examination of DR..
Brown, the presiding physician Of the 81 10
iHgdale Lunatic Asy ium, and OF DR.. Hastead'
who had been chosen by the Court to go ther
and examine mo the Commodore's a,e, was
very unsatisfactory to such OF tine Commo iore's
friends as happened to be present.
These two physiclans, VINO may be perfectly
harmless and CONSCIENTIOUS specimens of the
~common place" man so happily described by
Charles Reade or who may not be, gave their
evidence in 8 cautiously low voice.
So low, indeed, that only the Judge heard
tbem and the cars OF reporters were stretched
in van.
1t will consequently be bad for Dr. Brown
Or DR.. Halsted ii these outraged gentlemen o.
the press can get the opportunity OF sending
them up.
Commodore Meade has been imprisoned a!
Bloomngdale, for so it az be called, tor yearly
two months. CompaniOnshlp with madnen has
often proved enough 10 turn straight miuds
awry.
But the Commodore has apparently cone
forth unscathed. He has dwelt among these
' maniaCal roses without beng one of them
As the examination progressed the ruthless
relatives of the Commodore grew really to
swallow Paris green with despair.
Finally, JuOge Sutherland, who is joval as
well as judicial, proLounced the Commodore
saue, and as a guarantee for his belief in his
sanity, offered to take him home to his o Wn
house.
AT this point, however, some true friends of
the Commodore stepped forth, their faces ooz-
ing over With hospitality. Tney took hi n home
with them, and there they killed the fatted
turkey gobbler ana poured the oil of glaiuess
on his head.
To leave this sphere OF highly fgura,ive and
impassloEed language, let me remind You that
the
CHESTER vAUGHANIANs"
of New York have not the best kind of sister
feeling with those OF Philadelphia.
Pennsylvania naturally feels aggravated that
New ork should have pat her oar IN.
The City OF Brotherly Love enteltains an aIec-
tiorate and highly creditable hatred against tue
city Of Gotham (Which last word tue tacetiou5ly
profane pronounce with d instead OF a ny, for
having intertered.
Elizabeth Stanton has returned highly pleased
with the current of events.
But che Is not usually fond of picking such
currauts when events do not happen her way.
She was received by Sister Susan with open
arms Oh the threshold of the Repo,atioR office
and there was succession of stage embraces
in sight cf the City Hall Park.
The opinion OF the New York Hester
Vauehanians, however is that Sister Stanton
has been snubbed by Brother Geary, with
perfection of which even Chesterfield would
have approved.
