REVIEW OF THE wEEK..


see that he bears evidence ss the trip agreeing
with him. We doubt if in his extended travels
he met with a more public spirited enter
prising individual. We are sure eould
be encountered who more modestly wears de-
served honors, and the esteem in which he is !
held by his fellow citizens.
Mr. Nicholas Burke, who has been absent for
a few months, we are glad to SEQ back again,
bearing unmistallable evidence that the visit
to his naive 1and has had the effcct'of reju-
venating him.
NEW PArER.-The Daily Ne,es, new candi-
date for public favor, appeared Monday morn
ing last, presenting q very creditable appear

and w. H. Bloomfield, the fullest realization of
their hopes and expectations
TIM TIMEs.-our cotempora1y, the New Or
leans Times, appeared on Sunday last in new
dress, in anticipation of the anniversary of its
sixth year. The history of this Journal from
its inception by tine late ". II. c. King to this,
its latest Improvement, shows degree of ell
terprize fully equal to, if it does not surpass
the requirements of this fast age. We con-
graduate the managers on the deserved pros
its unparalleled patronage.
DocToHs DIsAGREE.-As there has been no
epidemic this summer, the doctors, to keep
their hands in, have undertaken to operate on
one another. The controversy between the
gentlemen of the Orleans Infirmary and the
Medical Association shows some little intirlnity
of mind. The following is specimen of
scalpel logic: "Any man may be proud to
walk through n door of reconciliation; no
gentleman will abase himself to crawl through
n hole of adjustment" Are to have
revival of the "Medico-Surgico controversy
which agitated and amused the New Orleans
public some thirty years ago' Alas we lack

of the injury to a dwelling house in Portland,
Maine, by the fall of the spire of the new

among the decorations, was pulled down and
torn to pieces. Where is Gen Dix There was
something or other done to flag revenue

out, or he'll give them the Dix-ens.
JEFFERsoN.-The threatened interregnum in
this thriving burg has been overted. The
Mayor, Mr.. Laresche, has been restored, those
who threatened to unhorse him having thought
better of it.
We are under obi cation to the officers of
steamer Lotus No. 3 for faYors conferred.
FAILURE OF AN ENGLISH INSURANCE COM
PANY.-The failure of the Albert Insurance
Company in London, has created tho greatest
commotion among large class of persons in
terested in insurance-fully equal to that
caused by the failure of Overend, Quincy &
Co. The loss is n severe one, and comes heavily
upon body which can i'll afford it. The moral
to be drawn is, that insurers should take every
7recaution before taking ont policies. Some
persons insuring their lives do not use, in
selecting their office, the care they would take
in buying a pound of tea. The Albert Life In
surance Company was founded some thirty

transact business on n much safer basis, and
the laws regulating them are much more strin

it behooves every intending insurer to scru

article which assumes to be facetious, glorie
in the destruction of the Boston Coliseum, b!
the recent terrific storm, to prevent its being
used for a concert-the preparation for whicl
