Mr.. EDITOR:


Ii was my intention to have written you on Mon
day, but, owing to the number of attractions about
the city on that day, my time was wholly absorbed
On Monday the military paraded, pursuant to or
ders, and magnificent display they made. 1t was
said, by the most experienced and observing
judges, that so beautiful display had not been
witnessed for many years. / am surprised to find
so great a falling off in the commerce of this
city, but, on the other hand, there is great in
crease OF manufactures. The theatres are doing
nothing. Chestnut street Is crowded daily with
beautiful women. very large number OF New
Workers passed through the city to-day on their
way toWashinston. Everybodys eyes are apparent
ly turned towards Washington. tits rumored here
that Richard Vaux, Esq, Recorder of this city,
will be appointed Charge des Afaires to Belgium
He was once Secretary to the Court of st. James
under Minister Stevenson, also Secretary OF Lega-
tlou to Belgium, and thorough democrat. The
most amusing scene at this time here, is the fight
between the Reading Railroad Company and the
Schuylkiil Navigation Company. Some rich scenes
will develope themselves In short time between
these two companies, as they are telling truths
one another. The Schuylkill Navigation Compa-
ny wish to borrow 81. 600 900 to widen their canal
from here to Pottsvllle, but the Reading Railroad
Company think there is no necessity Tor that, as
they intend to bring to market coal enough to sup
ply the world. There was great Polk and Dallas
ball last Monday night at the Arch street theatre
1t was very mild, as the ladies' are saving their
dresses Tor the great Inauguration Ball on the
of March in Washington. George Bancroft arrived
here from the south on Saturday evening last, and
Immediately proceeded to the New York Railroad
depot. His great desire to get the of the day
was such, that he purchased the Herald, and went
out on the end of the wharf, and stood in the ram
to keep from public gaze, probably fearful that peo-
pie might think he had just LETT Mr.. Polk, since it
IS rumored that he is to compose part of Mr.
Polk's cabinet. He is more arlstocratic in his way
of travelling than he is democratic | have some
beautiful developments which will give you IN
few days. Yours, CAPE May.
