Among the other new things is a neat little
paper called the Monxrxo Couruuvr, just star-

His paper is -rich and racy, brief and yet com-
prehensive, conducted with much tact and en-
ergy. From the tenor of one or two articles,
we see that he is an admirer, of John Donkey.
But without espousing his cause, it was with
regret we saw the Journal disgraced by such
a mean, contemptible and bacoiiis/L notice, as the
one of which the Courant complains. Such a
spirit eminates not from a magnanimous mind.
Besides such pompous and swaggering witicisms
come with a very bad grace from one hanging
upon n.nother’s rep'ut.ation. and one who has re-
peatedly acknowledged his own inability to
stand alone.
Jllessrs. Editors :-—Iu compliance with an
invitation of the Teaclier of the norah east Dis-
trict School, M'r. Charles Scllcc/c, I attended a
literary festival at his SCl10(.l-l'00lll a few eve
nings since. Permit me to express thus pub-
licly the great-pleasure which the crovvded au-
dience, composed of the parents and friends of
the pupils manifested in witnessing this very
interesting and useful exhibition. Allow me
also to congratulate the youth of that District
for the zeal they manifested in preparing and
the high degree of satisfaction they enjoyed in
executing as well as for the etiiire success
which attended their performances This fes-
tival wonld compare favorably with that of any
of our high schools and academies. The elo-
cution of the speakers, their positions and ges-
ticulatio-ns would have done honor to those of
mature age. The performances, which were
as varied as the advantages of the place would

their character to the friends of the pupils as
they were creditable to the reputation of the
very able and successful Instructor. Icould
not but earnestly hope as the festival drew to a
close that its influence would be of a salutary
character throughout the District. Should it

The thunder ofartillery announced his arrival
but the perils of cannon were almost drowned
by the deafening cheers of the mighty multi-

It was a niostimposiiig spectacle. Tlirougli-
out the whole extent of Broadway the side

in short every “ coign of vantage ground” was
filled with an eager crowd of admiring, I had
almost said woi'shipping spectators. Blooming
cheeks and sparkling eyes enlivened all the
windows of every building ‘from turret to foun-
dation stone,’ on both sides the streets, while
incessant waving of white liandkcrchiefs and
the showering of boquets, told how much the
lovely angels adored the Hero. A thousand
banners in Broadway, gaily floated in the breeze
and beautiful festoons adorned the front of nut-
ny buildings, both public and private. The
enthusiasm was tremendous. The cliccrs
which constantly greeted the venerable sage
and pat;riot,duriiig every step of his progress,
would have kindled the blood in the coldest

Mr. C. on the ground of fatigue, &c, such a cry
was raised for ‘one word’ from "Harry” _as
completely drowned his voice; and Mr. Clay
was obliged to appear and say a few words, after
which they quietly dispersed.
The funeral ceremonies in honor of Mr. :‘gd-

in attendance was still larger, than the day
preceding. The exercises were highly inter-
