TUE PASTIIONARLE SEA-BIDE RESORT, Spectal Correapondence of The Chicago Tribune, Newronr, R. 1., Aug. 2.—Msny of the ronders of T Tripune are familiar with this colebrated watering-placo, and need no deseription of its peculiarities to reftosh theie recollection. But to tho groat majority, doubticsa, this QUAIST OLD TOWN, with ite narrow streots, its numerons gabled cot- tages, more than a century old, its apacious har- bor,—whero tho pavy of the Union might so- chor, with room to spare,—ita begutiful islands, fort, and shipping, its aristocratic quarters whero wealth biaa built its scores of palaces nod sur- rounded itsclf with {mprovemonts, is an un- kuown land. The stranger in visiting Nowport, in common with all tho old Now Lngland towns,-—~ns Bos- ton, Balom, Marblohoad, sud Providence,~-i8 strick with the narrownoss and irrogutarity of the strects, snd tho numerous small cote tagea with their gablea to tho street. You seo unmistakably the Duich architecture, sud loorn that the first eottlors came to theso plantations by woy of olland. You also seo that tho first settlers of theao placea bad differ- ont ideas from those of tho Pilgrima who found- ®d Now Haven, Hatford, and other towns in Connecticut, whero < FPACIODA AVENTIESR, shaded by magnificent olms, greot the eye. The march of modorn improvemont, urged on by growing weslth, bas invadea the old quorters of tho city, sud thoso primitive structures aro being transformed into more modern and spacious bouses, If this epizit of improyoment contin- uos, it will not bo long beforo most of theso rompants of the olden tima will have passed away. Tho old State-Houso—for Newort di- vides with Providence tho honor of bejag the soat of logislative wisdom and oxecutive ability for tho Btato of Rbode Island—stands upon o small public square knows sa tho Parade. Like tho Btate, tho Capitol Is rather diminutive, and would mako a respectable Court-House, which uss it also serves, It is abundantly largo for its purpose. This.city is auold port of eatry and has its Custom-Touso with ita Colioctor and 0ids ; but whether the dutles received aro sufliciont to meet the exponsoa of tho eatablish- ment |s quite doubtfal. PADED GLORY. This port was formerly the seat of o respecta- blo commerco with tho Weat Indics and other parta of tha world. In fact, for & long timo it soomed to promies to be the commorcial em- porium of the North. In Colovlal days it was an importaot Dritish naval-station ; and Nowport sutiqnaries dollght to point (o tha fact thut at one timo over ssvonty-five vessels of war wore ancliored in this berbor. 'The harbor is a8 epacious a8 _ever ; aud, with its depth of from G to 10 futhoms of water, muy tempt tho largest craft to eoter. Dut it has uo Hudson River, bnnging the produce of au om- piro to ita doors, aud it is doubtful if it over regains anything more thaa a moro sccondmy place as & Bide station for tho overflow of the cominerco of the present metropolla, Wore its cammerco Iargely increasod, 1t would be o great alvantaga to tho people, a8 it would multiply their resources and tond to cheapon the necossi- ties of living.

The summor babitnes flaunt thelr wealth in all posuible ways ; make great offort to outstrip their neizhbors in parade and stylo ; affect tho nabob with their palacos, coachies, oand liveriod sorvauts ; aud are really for the most part DESPICALLE BXOES. They desirs that the place should bo made dear, 0 thas nons but their own eoloct wealthy ssso- ciates should bo ablo to live hore.
