James Gordor Berrett, Dear Sir Your correspondent here, whoever ha may be, seems to be rather behind baad just now, or hia miad is filled with passing events, and ho is patiently waiting to see when and where they are goin* to brinir ud. and then sirs vou the news all in a nut hell. Time roll* on here like the great father of water*, the Mississippi, which by the by i* riling just now, at a rapid rate, and I predict that it will be a* high this apringaa it was in 1838, at least there ie a fair prospect of it at present. But to the great question that is agitating this community to the utmost extent, just now, the currency. The, whole population, both great and small it would seem have taken this matter ia hand, and more almost as one man. Resumption of the Banks and nothing short of it, will satisfy them. There are a few who hare been living en and by the Banks for years, and who hare aotnally been insolvent for the last four or fire years, that make a great outcry against our legislator, because in doing their duty passed a law forcing the banks to pay the people' and the people the banks. They pat on long faces and say that it will ruin half of the merchant! in the city, and I see brsome hand bills that they hare gone so far as to call a meeting this evening at Bauks Arcade,of all those opposed to the present course pursued by the Legislator, but it will bs like the Quaker minister who built a church and after it was finished cave out notice th it he would preach there next fiistdar:but when he got there he found none but his neighbors geese to hear him We are without anything new from Mexico, except the arrival a few days since of young Coombs, one of tho Santa Fe prisoners, who gave his narrative at length in the ilee, which no doubt you hare seen. Our Royal Line of mail steamers are not regularly established yet, but will be soon, which will take a large number of letters from the Boston line. We hare nad the Forth and Solway at the Balize, but neither of these could get to the ci'y hereafter thev will have a smaller class of steamers to receive the mail at Havana and eome to the city direct. Theatricals are in rather a lew state, Brown and Rice are at the St. Charles, but soon to give place to the Italian company, which arrived by the Natchez in her last trip from Havana, Mrs. Sutton among thn rest So you see we are in a fair way to hare someonera's soon at the American: thev bare brought ont the Naiad Qasen at a treat cxptnie, which has a fair run ouly. The Orleans is open four nights a week, (one of which is Sunday) and is about paying expenses. Exchange on your city at sixty days sight 1$ premium for pood bills,which are searce checks arc-worth 6 per c-nt do, and but few to be had at that, which must be paid for in the strongest bank bills.

Dear Sir For the last two weeks that I have been in Ilarrisburg, 1 have been a looker on at oar legislature. Never, no, never, did I see such a waste of time as there is at the capital of Pennsylvania; they have been sending bank bills, (so called,) from one house to the other for the last week, aad are likely to keep on at that business. Tt is truly too much for the people of Pennsylvania to bear, and they are beginning to get tired, as they are sending in numerous petitions praying them to adjourn sine die. It is the opinion here among our knowing folks, that if they were all like Mr. Stevens, they would do business sooner and better than they are doing. The Senate passed the bank bill that was sent there from the House with some amendments, so that it will conic up in tha House te-day. The temperance cause here is progressing slowly. I was in one of their greetings last evening; it was fully attended, and had excellent speaking. There are but few, I understand, that have broken their pledger. a. t j.. nf li.li.. i... j*.a m am m tuiiowut itnuti vi juui fligllljr YtllUlt" ble Herald, I of course see descriptions of balls and fancy parties.?I have been looking to see a notice of a fair held here by the fair sex of the Presby terian Church; such an array of beauty and fashion was never witnessed in this borough. There was a fine array of fancy needle work, which was all done by the fair hands who were selling them. The fruit was delicious; the ladies lively; the gentlermn liberal. They had a post-effice in the fair which was thronged from the beginning to the close. Miss W a was the mistress, a very good one, as she did not refuse a single one a letter. MiesC n looked admirably well?she wore a very tasteful dress, and seemsd to be very attractive. Miss P?n a rosy cheeked blonde?gay, lively, and sensible, looked as well as any I could perceive. Miss S?k, a stately young lady, in a plain dress: she is the btlle of ike borough, as she is a large, stout, noble looking lady. Miss H table was the attraction in the fancy line, as she, with the Miss H n and Miss 9 r had all the young men, so that the otheragot a little jealous The pretty little Miss H 1 and the beautiful Miss E g must not be forgotten, as they, in fact, looked as charming as any of them. Aif the young ladies looked and behaved well, except the Misses who talked too much, I thought. Some of the old ladies, or mothers, looked as pretty as their daughters. Mrs C, Mrs. H. Mrs. W?e all were neatly dressed, and I suppose were as much pleased as toe daughters. 1 am happy to inform you that they met with unexpected succees, having in three nights taken in 91263, which will leave $1000 clear 1 inay write again, if I don't leave town soon Youra, dec.

Dear Sir Our citizens are highly pleated with the arrangement made with the Stonington line, to have a mail every day. We should have been without news from New York three daya in the week during the part winter, but for the vietorioua New Haven steamboats put on the Providence line by Captain Yanderbilt, the old steamboat commodore but even then she had to be detained in Providence until the leaving of the eight o'clock tram of can, so that we did not gel New York papers until half past ten o'clock. Now we shall have them regit larly every day except MondayElder Knapp gave what was advertised to be a temperance lecture, at the Marlborough Chapel, last evening, but it was in fact a bitter tirade against Univeraalists and other denominations of Christians, with a little sprinkling of blackguardism, anathemas and curses against vend era ana moderate drinkers. His language was coarse and vulgar, and more calculated to irritate and wound the feelings than to convince or reclaim. The Elder uses such mongrel language and odd expressions, that it is ntlerly impossible to guess what part of the world ha hails from sometimes his flit, nasal whinings would mark him a down-east Yankee?then again hia pronunciations of such a word as pioneer, which he cells paw t/un-tar, destroys the illusion. Some of his illustrations were good, and caused considerable merriment among the audience, which wan large, composed principally of ladies. After he got through he requested all those who had joined, er intended to join, the teetotal society to rise; and those who had not. and intended to do as they had done, until they died, and then go to hell and be damned to all eternity,he wished to keep their aeate, and nit there till I the devil called for them The conseqnence wu. that nearly all rone, while only a few choae to retain their seats. He then commenced giving out his sppoiniments for prayermeetings and Ire tares, which occupied several minutes.
