WINsoR HOTEL, FIFTH AvENUE,
New YORK, May l6, 1850. |

To THE Editor OF THE APPEAL: From
time immemorial, the "merry month OF
May" has been deemed the season for rejoic-
ing and New York has had, for once, her
grand jubilee oyer the return of spring in the
Musical Festival which took place last week.
Nothing could be happier than the thought
Of holding such festival at this time Of the
year. 1t was like ushering in the spring with
agrand burst Of melody.
The Festival was held in The Seventh Regi-
ment Armory, which accommodates over
twelve thousand people. There were over
two thousand musicians in the chorus and
orchestra led by DIR. Damro sch. Among
these we're two hundred and fifty boys whose
sweet voices resembled the singin. g Of seraphs
in Paradise more than anything else which
fancy could suggest. The leadinl. soloists
Nine. Gerster, Miss Cary, Signor Ca mpanini,
and Herr Remmertz. Eighty thousand
people attended the Festival, and the receipts
were about 100000.
THE FASHIONABLE EXODUS.
Many of our fashionables are off for Europe
and out going steamers are thronged with
jubilant Americans, teemlng with gold dol
lars and good humor, en- route for foreign
lands. Those who do not contemplate Europa
are getting ready for the summers campaign
at Saratoga, New port and ether fashionable
resorts Matrons and bellies are deep in the
mysteries Of the latest fashions while pater
sainilas has enough to do to turn over his
ledger and wonder whence all the money is
30 come to pay for feminine finery and hotel
bills. For, even the poke bonnets and Moth
er Hubbard closks, in which our bellies now
love to array themselves, may cost con-
siderable sum. Our fashionable youths and the
heiress hunters are also looking forward to
The say watering place season, and even the
nld beaux are still on the gni vive. No ono
who has never encountered them. can
have any idea of the formidable array of old
bachelors there is in New York society. No
need of going to the seashore to hunt up
fossils, when there are so many at hand.
Just at present the sensation of the hour is

THE NEW RIELE.
This is truly the age OF progress, and from |
tie days when the Bible was known only to |
ihe learned few, it has reached that period |
when bibles are about to become as cheap |
and plentiful as newspapers. An enterpris-
ing New York firm is publishing the new |
translation Of the New Testament complete |
for ten cents, the four Gospels forseven cents,
zach Gospel for two cents, and an elegant
edition IN Turkish morocco, with both the |
new and the old version on pages facing each
other, for one dollar and half. Shades Of |
Faust and Gutenberg! What wonderful I
strides in the printers art since tae age Of
your iilustrious lives! ...
