So much for this matter, and we may say the
same of every other. After his repeated attempts
upon us and the expenditure of $4,000 to put the
Herald down, to cry out persecution drol enough
Can he who has been filling all the newspapers
with attacks upon us, cry out persecution? Does
he forget that he commenced his labors with the
" "Republic," to decry usl Does he forget all his
publications which have disgraced him-and the
disgraceful charges made against him, when the
public were laughing at his vile pen And now he
has the neffable impertinence to talk about perse
c1tlon, at the very moment he is commencing his
ridiculous suits. Never mind, Chevalier-you will
be satisfied before you get through.

LlFE,-One of the most sickening and heart.rend
ing accidents occurred on Saturday afternoon, No
vember 23d, at East New York. that wit
Messed. The circumstances are az follows, viz:-
A young lady, Is years Of age, Miss Almira Smith,
eldest daughter of Mr.. Ezekiel Smith, of the vii
lage Of New Lots, had both of her legs crushed and
cut off in the act Of jumping from the Long island
Railroad cars on their passage east. The cars had
passed about sixty yards beyond the usual stopping
place, when she was in the act OF getting out, and
supposing they were not going to stop, she jumped
her basket caught some part of the car, which
dragged her under the wheels. This is her own
account, and the result was as above stated
Doctors Mason and Hurd, Of Brooklyn, visited the
young lady, but found her too much exhausted to
attempt amputation. She is not expected to live.
A gentleman in the next car behind was also in
the ACT ofgettiag OUT when he told by the brake
man 10 jump; that he must jump forward; he did so,
and fell, tearing his clothes in the fall This may
be attributed to the continual changing, and uncer-
tam policy pursued by the head OF the establish
ment towards the inhabitants of this place. as will
be seen by late communication to the Board.


FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS. have been fly
ing about in all directions, for the last few days,
,ka~n nT h.rbt. l.
OF invitation to the grand complimentary ball to
be given this evening to Captain Isaiah Rynders,
OF the Empire Club, at Tammary Hall, by the
Democratic patty. At this doubtless there will be
present the principal leaders of the party-Martin
Van Buren, the Hon. B. F. Butler, Judge Wander
poe ex-Mayor Morris, and several others, as it is
to be first rate affair. This is only another step
IN what we before mentioned, that the Empire
Club of this city was determined to take the lead
In the fashionable movements this season, which
have now commenced in earnest. We have the
Italian Opera in full force in Chambers street, and
have had Anderson's chaste and classic performan-
ces at the Park, Mrs. Smiths, Mrs. Jones's, Mrs
Browns, Mrs. A.. Mrs. B., and all the other ladies'
Of the alphabet, giving or about to give, balls and
soirees without number. Amid the foremost Of
these we have the Empire Club, as they ever have
done, determined to take the lead. They took the
lead in politics for six months previous TO the cleo
tl0n, and during the election-they took the lead
in preserving the peace, and kicking up rows-and
they now appear determined to take the lead In
every thing that is genteel, polite, and gallant In
doing the amiable in the best possible style to the
ladies' II is not to be wondered at that under these
circumstances, Mons. De Korponay, and other
fashionable instructors of dancing, are so over
crowded with pupils There is little doubt but
that Polk and the polka will be in great repute du-
ring the ensuing six months.


ITALIAN OrERA-This evening will be produced,
at Pamo's Opera House, for the first time, Done
zetti's beautiful opera OF "Lucrecia Borgia,"
which is said to be quite equal to his Lucia De
Lammermuir In this piece we shall have the
pleasure Of seeing the beautiful Borghese again,re-
stored to US. She takes the soprano part, and
Signora Pico the contralto, the latter character
in male attire. There are in this opera some
beautiful arias, particularly one, drinking song
by Signora Plco, to which doubtless she will do
every justice. Borghese has also some beautiful
sceas, arias, &c. TO execute, which will bring out
her exquisite powers as an actress to the greatest
perfection.


There is little doubt but that there will be great
house on the occasion, as it is seldom that the
combined powers OF two prima donnas are thus
presented to the public. II may be expected that
all the beauty and fashion of the city will rbe pre-
sent. 1t will be a tremendous house. The opera
is now right and is bound to go ahead.


FRAUDS IN THE FLOUR TRADE.-Let all those
who are interested in the business in flour read the
article under the "Corn Trade" in this mornings
paper. Let every one look out for the srogues in
grain"


1heatricnls, &c.


There to be great doings at the Circus this
ing in commemoraon Of the evacuation Of this city by
the British troops. Flags banners, martial music and
transparencies will he displayed in front Of the Amphi
theatre the occasion.
