JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.


DEAR SIR--After note of great preparation, we
are to have this evening at the Assembly Buildings,
corner of Tenth and Chestnut streets, which, by
the way, is the now fashionable gathering-pace of
the elite, one of Mons. De Korponays grand Polk a
Parties, which has been got up under the superin-
tendance of gentlemen known and appreciated in
such society here. When say that the Assembly
Building is of all places the most appropriate for
the display OF beauty, with which it will be graced
tonight, am doing only justice TO the spirited gen.
tlcman who has fitted up The Grand Saloon ia a
style OF magnihcence, grandeur, and spendor far
excelng any other such place in our Quaker city,
and hazard nothing IN assuring you that its equal
is not by any comparison known hereabous OF
course then De Korponay could not have been in
better hands than those Of the proprietor and own
er, Edward E. Marvine, Esq who have inciden-
tally understood halls from your great Empire
State, and is living specimen of the TASTE libe
ality, and enterprise of its good and talented cti
zens. To give you descript on of the saloons.
&c., IS needless and would occupy more space
than can claim, but let me say that for purposes
of exhibitions, concerts, balls, &c. there is no
place so well adapted, so fashionable and so mag.
nifcenly grand.


We have to-day a touch of winter, might say
for the first time since John Frost usually mounts
his icy car "In these diggns"; a smart sprinkline
of snow commenced about seven o'clock this
morning, and continued with great violence for an
hour and a halt, covering the ground tor several
inches within that time, and giving hopes of good
seighing to the stable keepers, and prospect tf
an opportunity for the ingathering of the ice crop
to the dealers IN that absolutely necessary article,
If people who indulge either in the use of the
ardent, cold water, or the luxaries Of ice cream,
and the concomican's of the restaurant. The
wind is blowing sifly from N w, and although
At The time write . Old Soi' is shining ont in
great splendor, but btte Effect is made upon the
snow that covers our side walks The merry
ringing OF the sleigh bell has, however, been bu
little heard in our streets, the heavier vehicles o,
business having already cut through to the paving
Strong hopes are entertained, however, OF another
tall of snow, and then look out for fun.


The subject of conversation is now, whether the
Legislature have passed law requiring the interest
on the State Loan to be paid, which will fall due
