NEW YORK. Sept. 4, 1869.
Those
Hanson Cabs
are coming along. | am certain OF it. AS walked
along Wall street yesterday morning | saw man
painting the glass If that is not oorroborative
of the fact, don't know what is. The cabs were
promised by the first of July. Then by the first of
September Now it is assumed that they will posi-
lively put in appearance by the last Of this month
They will probably be along by the first OF January
The dynasty of the hack-drvers is nearly They
regard the coming changes with profound disgust
But they have swindled and bullied "patient pub
lie" long enough, and now the hour Of retribution is
at hand OF course, the Hanson regime will bring
along train Of abuses with it, and shall discover
that the miles for which give our forty cents
exceedingly small ones. Neither will the Hansoms
be very numerous Probably they will not count up
to than one hundred in ALL But the idea is not
abandoned; for there, 1 said before, is the Han
som Cab Company office on Wall street staring you
in the face.
Mr.. =. n. CarvaIho,
whose studio, at No. 765 Broadway, is one OF the
largest and handsOmest in the city, has just COM
pleted picture a American subject, entitled
''The Grand Canon of the Colorado River" said
ne,r, for do not believe the subject has yet been
treated in picture In order to understand it, is
necessary for the observer to remember that for
three hundred miles the cut edges of the table lands
OF the Colorado rise abruptly often perpendcularly,
from the waters edge forming walls from 5000 to
GOO0 feet in height. What is known the "Great
Canon" is the grand gorge which bsects that region
and which surrounded by of the most gigantic
and beautiful geological phenomena anywhere to
be seen. The enormously high, naked peaks
which rear themselves, have been left bare
by the gradual sinking OF the water
through countless geological ages. The scene gene
rated amid such q variety Of causes and circum-
stances is what Mr.. Carvaho attempts to portray.
His introduction of two human figures brings into
proper contrast the grand proportions Of the Canon
will o
into which the observer is betrayed. l was present
yesterday afternoon at private view OF it, for which
tickets of invitation were issued by the artist 1t is
to be removed to-day to the SiXtythlrd Street Skat-
ing Rink there to remain until after the great fair OF
the American Institute to be commenced next We'd
| nesday, shall be over.
The New York Correspondents
returned from Halifax yesterday, with the fire OF
health upon their cheeks and the rose of victory in
| their eyes-or Uice UerSd. Some of them, fear, will
discover changes that they little expected. At the
daily Times for instance there is a soft tumult and
lutter. AS l intimated in prior letter, managing
| editor COnant became eX-managng editor a week
| ago. Mr. House, the recent dramatic editor, folded
his tent two three days ago, and Mr. Shanks, the
city editor twisted up his blankets about the
| time. Mr. Farrell, the recent city editor OF the
| Herald has also gone up in balloon. But all these
young fellows, possessing the parachute of talentwill
| be sure to come down on their feet. If they were
| less able, and less certain Of making their own
futures should say that, after having once escaped
| from the snares of Bohemiansm Il was too bad for
| them to be flung back TO it again. A journalist
| in New York. however, need never despair of max
ing a living. Perhaps he may not always get paid as
| well as the chap that does the ''wench" business
| among the negro minstrels, but then look at the
| difference in positions!
| Theatrical Items.
| Next week will he busy one among theatrlcals.
At Nblo's they straning every nerve to properly
present FormOsG on Monday night. Miss Lonsdale,
as recently signded, is to reappear, after an alb
| sence of eight nine years. She is now, believe,
Mrs Darcie and is the only actress eXtant fitted to
succeed the late Mary Gannon-in the opinion OF
herself and her husband At the Olympic Uncle
TONES Cabin is to retake possession OF the boards.
Perhaps it would take better If the title were
changed to '"The True Story OF Uncle Tom" AT the
French theatre Parepa-Rosa is pushing things in
| the Puritan'S DDughtsr Her business manager DE
| VivO, who has just returned from an eighteen
| days expedition to San Francisco, one who
| gets $3.50 per week salary for making his
| little game, is making himself fascinating to
| those dispassiOnate gentlemen who prepare
criticisms. In connection with the French theatre
might mention the fact that Mr. Grau has lately
| perienced an aficton in the death of his father.
The old gentleman suddenly felt i'll while walking in
| the street, went into Frenchs hotel, took room,
| and was found dead in his bed next morning. The
| Batemans father and son, keep quiet. The daugh-
ter will arrive here in a few days now and COM
mence at Booths Immediately upon the termination
of Mr. JefersOns engagement.
| This week we have had quite a severe attack Ol
| autumn. The disease acute, but threatens t0
| become chronic. Summer has taken her leave, OF
