Ticmer's Bexefit. The lovers of song should bear in mind that this vocalist takes his benefit to-night. In addition to the singing, dancing, a young lady whom report speaks as surpassing fair and of no inconsiderable accomplishments, is to make her first appearance as Clari in the Maid of Milan." A New Pcblicatiox. We were yesterday furnished with the first number of a new weekly paper, entitled The Grotto; or, New Orleans Literary Museum," published by Ju-Lien A. Baker Co.

It contains a considerable variety of matter, and displays a commendable zeal for the interests of our city. The Last Snake Story. "I reckon this 'ere country of yourn is pretty-considerable productive, stranger, isn't it?" said a down-easier, who had just arrived in one of the new Mississippi settlements, to a person whom he met, one of the regular meat-axe breed. "There's not such another country between this and the State of Buncombe, in North Carolina," replied the Mississippi settler. 'Raise a good deal of cotting, eh?" "Lots of it." "All-fired quantities of game in this section, I s'pose." "Considerable of a sprinkling, 'specially snakes." "What sort of snakes'!" 0h! get out! du tell, I want tu know if they're so almighty thick?" "Rather.

Dad and I went out this morning snake-hunting killed only a cord and a quarter but then it was a bad snake morning, and you must make some allowances." "Oh! I'll make any 'lowances and tracks out of the settlement at the same time. But say, jest 'tween ourselves, if it had raly been a good morning, how many cords du you 'inagin you'd a killed." "Five is about an average." "Fivct- You don't say so?" "Yes I do, though." "Which is my shortest way out of this 'ere settlement? I've strong ideas of sloping forthwith." "Keep right straight, ahead." "Well, I wish you a good day. Give my best 'spects to your dad. and tell him I hope he'll hvc better snake-weather next time lie goes cut. I'm o-p-h." er at has and is a of to in that we York, Head, the woukl Shrores Tuesday.

To-day beinthefimival known by the above (or Mardi Gras, as the French call it,) number of ccrcmooics will be observed by a portion of our citizens, preparatory to th.3 be-ginhing of Ient. The Carnival being at an etd. a grand blow-out will take place to-night with the masquerades, Cotvbcliions, by Metairie Race Coure. Tlie weather yesterday afternoon was so delightful, that we could not resist the desire to take a ride down that favorite thoroughfare, (he shell road along the New Canal. Its beauty and mooth.iess are perhaps not equalled any where in the Uuited Stares and the numerous horse men, carriages, pedestrians, and boatmen, give a jjfc to ecene wliioii renders the jaunt a real luxury.

On reaching the bridge nt the intersection the Metairie Road, we were truly surprised to see the progress which Colonel Garrison has-made with his racecourse. He is erecting an outer fence twelve feet high, and on a scale of magnificence surpassing any thing of the kind in this country. A splendid pavilion two stories high is to be made, 250 feet long by 37 wide, divided into three apartments, nchly fitted up for transient persons, members of the ciub, and iadics. Several commodious stables will be in readiness forthwith lor the reception of horses fa short, the whole affair will be got up in such a manner as to throw every course at the North completely into the shade. Tiie location, too, is pre-eminently adapted to the object in view.

It is the highest and most convenient that could have been selected in the whole neighborhood, and isol easy access lrom all parts of the city bein three miles by the shell road, two miles and a fraction by the Nashville Railroad, (on which the cars will be running,) and three miles and a half by the way of the Old Basin, the Carondelet Canal, and the Metaine Road. Coi. Garrison deserves credit for his indefatigable zeal in projecting and carrying forward this new undertaking; and wc cannot doubt that our citizens will reward him with the same liberality which they have heretofore bestowed upon every enterprise of the kind. FOR THE riCAYIJ.NE. Our next Recorder.

Messrs. Editors Four names have been presentee to the public as candidates for the oilier of Recorder of the Second Municipality, and it behooves our citizens to regard their separate claims with great care. The law requires that the Recorder should be a married man, and common sense demands that he should be acquainted with the Jaw. The present incumbent has already experienced serious difficulties from a want of knowledge of the law, and consequently the righis oi the citizens have heen invaded, and the duties of the office unfulfilled. C.

W. Schauniberg is a bachelor, and Doctor Macfarlane, besides having already a lucrative and onerous prolession, the unceasing labors of which call him away at all hours, thereby preventing punctual attendance at the police court, is, like Mr. 13a Id win, altogether unacquainted with the law. None ot these gentlemen are properly qualified for the office, and the fittest candidate on the list appears to be Mr. Gibson.

He was brought up to the law, was for many years a magistrate, has had all the experience our municipal existence can give, for he was mainly instrumental in procuring the subdivision of the city, and has been Secretary to the Council and to the Recorder from the first day of our separate jurisdictions. In knowledge of the city ordinances no one can equal him, for each has to and repass through his hands; and no small number of them, we believe, originated with him. I lis character for decision is well known, and such energy as he possesses is indispensable to the office. Bing then, a lawyer by education, eligible by marriage, a magistrate by practice, a police judge by experience, and cognizant nf -1 i i i our iiiuiiieipai orumances ny necessity, ins claims are certainly superior to those of any oth candidate.

We have on our tabic, at the Picayune Office, a precious Document published by Congress, and forwarded to us by the Hon. Rice Garland. It contains a lull statement of all receivers, collectors or depositories of the public moneys, who are in default to the Government.

Oi Receivers, there are numbered CO of Collectors, 114 and of deposite banks about 75. The different amounts due1 from this threefold batch of pet banks and sub Treasnries, and i lie probable losses are so hearl- sickening, that even Major Downing would not attempt to stfer them out. The losses sustained in the Post Office Department, the subsisting of the Navy and Army, as well as some other leak holes, are not mentioned. The great mammoth monster known by the horrible name of "A National Dank," could not well find room in its capucious maw lor a-much as the Government favorites have swallowed. It is proper, however, to state, that many of the collectors and receivers mentioned as defaulters, were under administrations prior to IS2'J, though about one third of the defalcations are dated since that period thus showing thai although all the rascality" does not belong to the Locofocos, yet they come in for the biggest half.

By the express mails of Sunday and Monday, we have advices from New York to the evening of the 19th from which we collect the following items The Bowery Theatre was burnt on the ISth as we noticed in our weekly edition. The Sun says that the fire was supposed to have been caused by an incendiary. A black man was burnt to death in an adjoining stable. The awful grandeur cf the spectacle presented by the burning Theatre was greatly heightened by the tremendous roarings of the lions, tigers, elenliants. and other animals in the Zoolotrical Institute opposite, who were excessively lnght encd and excited by the roar ot the flames the intense ight which they threw into the Institute buildings, and the noise and clamor of firemen and their machinery, and the spectators without.

Mr. Booth was to have commenced an en gagement on the following day, and a reduc lion of the prices to 50 and 25 cents was to have crone into effect at the same time. In clearing away the rubbish next day, some mis chievous boys annoyed an Irish laborer named Brassel to such a degree, that he threw a brick bat among them, which broke the skull of one of them. A mob immediately gathered around Brassc and it was with difficulty that the po lice officers rescued him from danger. His nose was nearly broken off by some of the rtjwdics.

The boy was not expected to live. A British forces now on their way to quiet matters in Canada amount to G.000 men. If our government were as prompt in defending its citizens as John Bull is in ktibduing his subjects, the burnings and butcheries in Florida might have been stopped long ago, if not entirely prevented. Mr. Buchanan, Van Buren Senator from Pennsylvania, expressed his determination in the Senate on the 19th to obey his in-stru tions and vote against the Sub-Treasury Bill.

A Lr.ssox for Abolitiovists. James Read and Thomas Evans were hung at Edge- ficM. S. on the 9th for stealing ne- groes. They were both strangers, the former being from Pennsylvania.
