Our Guest—Capt. Kearny—The painful
dtily of bidding you farewell in tlie name
of my brother officers, has devolved upon
me. In communicating their sincere re
grrts, that circumstances have depiived
them of a friend so highly valued, and an
associate who reflected so much dignity tip
on the service, they feel a'piond sadsfar.
dun that you are about to reap tho reward
of long and faithful service in the approba
tion of your fellow cilj2*ns, at home. It
dors r.ot become me to refer more particu.
lariy to actions which have placed syou
prominently before the publjc eye,- nor to
enumerate those private trails Which have
endeared you to your brother officers;-but
to offer to vour acceptsnce otir wishes, that
your future path may be stiewed with as
many flow ers as the past has been -with lau-
rid*!
TostriiicKCapt Kearny'mado the follow
ing reply:— ,
Mf. President and Gentlemen—You
have my simple but sincere thanks, for the
civility with w hich you hare signalized this
event of my separation- frqm among you:
also my warmest gratitude for the acts and
very friendly good wishes you have exten

occasion. ' ..

the admiration of others. It should, and

property, in the absence of a warranty or

written by Filch amounted ill law to a rep

perceived, was passed two months posieriof-
to the ordinance of the City Council; and
though it is now contended that tiro ordi*

must yjeld to it, yet this has cseaped ill
Vigilance, until now, of all the public if
