The following morning at sunrise we ar- rived in Jersey City, and, crossing the Das- brosees street ferry, landed at the joining slip to the one occupied by the magniticant Hadson tiver Gay steamer *‘Ohauncey Vibbard,” for Albany. This river at New York is usually spoken of as the North river to distiagaisi it fro the waters on the south side of the city. Having balf an hour to spare before starting, with my companion we wandered along tne lower part of the city, and were pamicaiarly struck with the evidences of negiect in the character of many of the buildings, vacant jots, and old and dilapidated ecractures with notices upoa them, ‘Four Rent,” making maui- fest the truth of the assertion that the Dusiness of the city of New York is rapidiy BXTENDING UP TH# ISLAND, and that already much of the preperty towards the Point has deteriorated in value and is losing its controlling infinence in a business point of view. Completing our hasty survey, we glanced at the prodace markets io this section befure the throng of basiness in that part of the city had regalarly set io. We returned to the boat, where we had breakfast. Atter the nsnel bustle occasioned by the rapid movements of hundreds of people, the carrying aboard of baz- gage, and the din of repeated whistlings and tolling of bells, the steamer headed up North river. A fine band of music was playing. while the decks and cabins were not onty filled, bat crowded with a gay and joyous throng of par- haps one thousand soul: * UP THR HUDSON. We took a seat on the forward deck, to ob- serve the shipping and the city, and to take note of our fellew-passengers, who were on the trp- toe of excitement in anticipation of the pleas- ures of the day. The direction of the river here is nearly straight, flowing almost in a direct line EVENING STAR. Washington News and Gossip, INTERNAL REvente—The receipts from this scurce to-day were $227,056.63.

HopNETT AND Tas WoRKINGMEN.— Mr. John Pope Hodnett, attorney for the workingmen, has been before the District gov- ernment lately presenting their claims, bat his papers were vot in order. The Commissioners told him he must put his papers in order; that if he presented the usual satisfactory ev dence that the workingmen desired that he sboula receive the checks payable to their order, they would be handed over to him. To Gay some ot the workingmen whose names were to the power of attornoy to Mr. Hodnett sent a protest against the payment to Hodnett for them. 'n these cases the money will prob- ably be paid to the workingmen themselves. It ts not t> be expected that the Commis- fioners should inquire into the terms of the bargain between Hodnett and the working- men, any more than that the cashier of a bam should inquire why ea-h check pres-ntad to him has been given. If there is any wrong done to the workingmen by Mr. Hodnett, they have & right to say £0 ty Controller Baker, and to Hop the payment to Hodnett. If they do not do this, there is nobody to blame bat themselves. = - +e. THe Lone Brancn Races.—Betting on the four-mile heat race, which takes place to-day at Long Branch, begun yesterday.

It occupies elevated grounds, and from different points commanding admirable views of the city and surrounding country. The walls of the new State House are jpn gang) to their intended height. Ths sitastion of the building is high, and commands an extensive view; it occupying a whole square, and in archi. tectural style contrasts well with the” S.govern- ment buildings at Washington city. The raateria} used in the walls is a white granite, which is brought from Maine. The city is sapplied with water from Lake Renssalaer, but works are nearly completed to aid to the supply, from the Hudson river, above the city. FROM THE HUDSON TO THE ST. LAWRENCS, Having spent an agreeable evening in Al- bany, 4 little before 11 o'clock we took the cars for Watertown, and thence to Cape Vincsnt, on the St. Lawrence river, a distanse of 20 miles. We arrived at Watertown in tims for break(ast, and bad a few moment's time to look around this handsome aud wealthy mauafac turing city. Here the stream, with its chara: veristic name—Black ri ver—attracts by its dark color your attention.
