HOW THCOOOnS HOOK GOT A DIICVIJI.
"Lounging up Soho Square in the after
fioon with Terry the actor, thft, nostril of
th promr-nadcr tvtre iuldenly whited
tvith a concord of wrt odon from a spa
ciout irea. They iloppcdyi inufled the
grateful incenae, and ; pveping down per
ceived through the kitchen window pre
paration! for a handsome dinner, evidently
on the point of being served.
WWrfa feast! said Terry. 'Jelly
dog!-l ihould like to make one of them.'
'I'll take any bet,' returned Hook, Hhat
.1 do call Jot me at ten o'clock, and you
will find that I shall be able to give a tol
erable account of the worthy gentleman's
champarne and venison." So saying, he
marched up the steps, gave an authorative
'tap with the knocker, and was quickly lost
4o the light of his astonished companion.
At a matter ol course he was immediately
; ushered by the servant as an expected guest,
into the drawing-room, where a large party
, bad already assembled. - The apartment be
ing well nigh full, no notice was at first
taken of his intrusion, and half a dozen
' people were laughing at his boa-tnois, be
fore the host discovered the mistuke. Af-
, fecting not to observe the visible embarrass
ment of the latter, and ingeniously avoid
ing any opportunity for explanation, Hook
! rattled on till he had ottracted the greater
part of the company in a circle round him,
and some considerable time had elapsed ere
the old gentleman was able to catch the at
tention of the agreeable stranger.
. ' u I beg your pardon, sir,' he said, con
triving at last to get in a word j but your
name, sir I did not quite catch it-servants
are so abominably incorrect and I
am really a little at a loss
, Don't apologize, I ber,T graciously re
plied Theodore ; 'Smith my name is Smith
and, as you justly observe, servants are
always making some stupid blunder . or
another. I remember a remarkable in-
; stance,' &c . , -
" 'Cut really, my dear sir,' continued the
host, at the termination of the story illustra
tive ot itupidity in servants: I think the
mistake on the present occasion does not
originate in the source vou allude to ; I cer
tainly did not anticipate the pleasure of
Mr. Smith's company at dinner to-day.
" 'No, I dare say not you said four in
your note; I know, and it is now, I see, a
quarter past five you ore a little fast by
:h
e way :
but the fact is, I have been de
tained in the city
-as I was about to ex-
plain when '
"Fray,' explained the other, as won as
he could stay the volubility of his guest,
'whom, may I ask you, do you suppose you
are addressing ?'
"Whom Why Mr. Thompson, of
course old friend of ray father. I have
not the pleasure, indeed, of being personally
known to you, but having received your
kind invitation yesterday, on my arrival
from Liverpool, Frith Street four o'clock
Family party come in boots you see
I have taken you at your word. I am only
afraid I have kept you waiting."
: 'No, no, not at all. But permit me to
observe, my dear sir, my name is . not cx
actly.Thompson, it is Jones, and '
"Jones !' repeated the soi-distant Smith,
in admirably assumed consternation ; 'Jones
why surely I cannot have yes, I must
Tood heaven! I sou it all! My dear
sir, what an unfortunate blunder wron
house what must you think of such an in
trusion! I am really at a loss for words in
which to apologize you will permit me to
retire at present, and to-morrow'
Tray don't think of retiring,' exclaim
ed the hospitable old gentleman, 'your
friend's table must have been cleared long
ago, if, as you say, four was the hour named,
and I am only too happy to be able to offer
you a seat at mine.'
"Hook, of course, could not hear of such
a thing could not think of trespassing upon
the kiudness of a perfect stranger ; if too
late for Thompson, there were plenty of
chop-houses at hand ; the unfortunate part
of the business was, he had mude an ap
pointment with a gentleman to call at ten
o'clock. The goo;l-;ialureJ Jones, how.
.ever, positively refused to allow so enter
taining a visitor to withdraw dinnerless.
Mrs. Jones joined in solicitations, the Misses
Jones smiled bewitchingly ; and, at last Mr.
Smith, who soon recovered from his confu
siorv, was prevailed upon to oiler hisarm to
one of the ladies, and take his place at the
'well furnished board.'
" 'In all probability the family of Jones
never passed such an evening before. Hook
naturally exerted himself to the utmost to
keep the party in an unceasing roar of j
laughter, and make good the first impres
sion. Thi mirth grew last and furious,
when, by way of a coup de grace, he seated
himself at the piano-forte, and struck olF
into one of those extemporaneous elTusious
which had filled more critical judges than
the Joneses with delight and astonishment.
Ten o'clock struck, and on Mr. Terry be
ing announced, his triumphant trienJ
wound up the performance with the ex
t p'.unalory stanza :
' 'I am very much pleased with )our fare,
Your cellar' as prime as your cook ;
- My fricnd'i Mr. Terry, the player,
And I'm Mr. Theodore Hook!"

this week, by way of variety, a popular
and handsomely illustrated piece of music.
0 Advertimko. Now is the time for
merchants, mechanics and others to adver
tise. Yearly advertisements, with the
nriviledze of changing frequently, is the
best and cheapest plan.
Cold Weather. The weather on
Saturday, Sunday and Monday last, was
unusually cold and windv. So much so,
that cloaks and over coats were every
where put into requisition. Had there
been snow on the ground the temperature
would have done credit to the coldest days
of January. As it was, ice a half inch
thick was formed during the day. Fortu
nately, a high dry wind prevailed during
the whole time, or we should have a sorry
account to give of our fruit crop.
Ky" S.vow Storm. Wednesday last was
one of those days, not only out of season,
but exceedingly unpleasant. During the
forenoon it rained slowly, but toward eve
ning it blew up a furious snow storm,
whicn continued all night. The ground
was covered, to the extent of three or four
inches with snow, and there was some ap
prehension that the gardens and fruit trees
would suffer. The wind and the sun on
Thursday, soon dissipated the snow, and
things look again like spring.
Gideon M. Shoop has been appoint
ed Post Master ot Danville. Mr. Shoop
will make a good and an obliging officer.
It is a singular fact that every fifth
Governor of Pennsylvania has been whig
or federalist. This is another evidence,
that there is "luck in odd numbers."
07 The late act exempting property
to the value of three hundred dollars
from levy and tale on execution, or distress
for rent, received the Executive sanction.
It goes into operation on or after the 4lh
of July next, and applies to all debts con
tracted after that date.
U Militia Trainings. Frequent at
tempts have been made by the legislature to
abolish Militia Trainings, but without effect
until the last session. On Monday, the day
before the adjournment, an act was passed
abolishing Militia Trainings in this state.
Volunteer companies are encouraged and
are to receive fifty dollars when organized,
and a'.l able bodied nvn between the ages
of 21 and 45 years, who do not uniform
and equip themselves and join a volunteer
company, are to pay a fine of 50 cents annu
ally. Each county is to form a brigade.
Training day was a great day, for politi
cians and office hunters, and although thou
sands will rejoice, there are many who
will regret that these Battallion frolics will
be
uumbcred among the things that have

nCYEMX FROM TAVKKX LICENSES.
Under the late act of Assembly, regula
ting tavern licenses in Philadelphia City
and county, it is estimated that the reve
nue will bo one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars. Last year, under the old
law, it amounted to only five thousand dol
lars. There are said to be about COO licen
sed taverns in the City and County, and
about 1S00 beer shops, oyster cellars, &c,
where liquor is sold without license. -These
under the new act must all pay li
cense, none less than fifty dollars and the
highest 350. Admitting that nine hun
dred will be discontinued by the act, the re
maining fifteen hundred, will, at an average
of $75, make up the sum of $125,000. It
is surprising that the legislature did not
long since, when enacting laws to tax the
farmer, mechanic and merchant, think
oP'beer shops an I tipling houses.

THE COAL TltADE
The coal operators in Schuylkill county
have still further extended ihe time for a re
sumption of shipments, and will, we are as
sured by the Milters' Journal, continue the
suspension until the middle of the season, if
it shall be uecesnary to secure and maintain
fair iind reasonable priet'S. The quantity at
Port Richmond is now reduced lo about 16,
000 Ions, while ihe quantity sent lo market
from the Schuylkill region ihis season, falls
short of Ihe supply to the same period last
year full 98.000 tons Including this defici
ency, after allowing the other regions all they
claim, it will require an increase in the ship
ments from tho Schuylkill region of at least
300,000 Ions, to supply the msirkct. There
is, thcrefoie, every prospect lhal prices be
fore the close of thf! season, will rule hi-jh,
and while we sincerely hope that Ihe opera
tors may secure what they with so tnurh jus
tice demand, we look anxiously for an early
resumption of trade.
The shipments by non-subcribers continue
on a small scale, but there is an uimsunl de
cree of unanimity ami deleiminalinu anions
those who have suspended as well as those
engaprcd in other business dependent on the
coal trade. The total shipments from the
Schuylkill mines last week were 1 1.4 17 Ions ;
for the correspondini week last year, they
were 34,187 tons. Daily S'eics.

Although Nauvoo has been reduced from
her proud position of an important and flour

diminished lo one-fourth of what it was un
der the dynasty of its frantic founder, jet a
new era is now dawning on Ihe humble capi
lal of Mormonism ; a new impulse bids fair
lo make it far surpass, in substantial pros
perity, its palmiest days of Mormon pride.
Only a week since, there wn an arrival at
this city, of three hundred citizens of France,
w ho wete seeking that repose in the quiet of
our own well-regulated Government, which
they could not enjoy amid the stormy and
proscriptive spiril which has so long agitated
heir own country. This band of emigrants,
struck with the picturesque beauty of ihe
place, and impressed with tho fertility of iho
surrounding country and the healthfulness of
the locality, have come to the conclusion lhat
no place can be belter adapted lo I heir wants
than Nauvoo. This company of emigrants is
headed by the distinguished Cubel, who is
detei mined to make this place a nucleus for
emigration. It said I hut seven hundred, who
belong lo the same association, are expected
lo meet their fiieud here in a short time,
