This month is, therefore, the steam month of the year, on the ocean as wellas on shore. , containing left The 'Tariff—Ter of the Session— ‘The Views of the President. ‘The action of Congress on the subject of reve- nue, and the termination of the session, are still in- volved in the greatest doubt. ‘The prevailing opi nion is, however, that we shall have no duties above twenty per cent. The Tariff bill will, un- ‘uestionably, be sent to the President in such a shap: that he cannot sanction it. ‘This is the purpose and determination of the Clay majority. They ha framed it with a view to secure a veto, and they cling to distribution with a certain knowledge of such a consequence, he judiciary committee of the House have a bill prepared for an explanatory or declaratory law, carrying outthe spirit of the compromise act, and levying a duty of twenty percent on most imported articles, and leaving the mode of valuation the same as provided by the act of 1882, Mr. Barnard has made several efforts to get the bill before the Hous but he has uniformly failed. tea and coffe The law of 1 Such a bill, embracing would give a very large revenue provides that the ad valorem rates of duty on all imported goods, wares, and merchan- dize, shall be estimated by adding to the actua in the fore 2 cost market, all charges, except insu rance. If this bill can once be got before the House, it would probably prevail. In such an event stis doubtful whether any serious effort would be made to passa Tariff bill without the distribution feature, and an early adjournmentmight be anticipa- ted. In the present temper of Congress, it would b: the best thing for the country that could possibly happen. : The bill that has passed the House is highly ob. jectionable in many respects. ‘The duties on alarg: number of articles amount to a total prohibition Lead, iron, glass, and coarse wool are taxed so high that no whate: will be derived trom them, and this is the case with many others. I), fact, so odious would this bill be to the mass of the people, and so injuriously would it operate upon the commercial and agricultural interests, that it may well be doubted whether the President would no feel himself revenue ld not nstrained to withhold his assent to it, nif the distribution feature was removed. He is irrevocably committed against all prohibitory doties—he is for a revenue tariff, and no other— revenue must de the principle, and protection the in- cident. Inthe billnow pending, protection alone is constantly kept in view The Boundary Question—The Negotiations in relation thereto. itis understood that the negotiations between the agents of this government and those of Great Britain, are about drawing to a close. The final proposition for the settlement of the boundary ques- tion has been made, and a decision is anticipated in the course of the present week. The term: under consideration are of such a character as te render the result extremely doubtful. Hopes are still entertained that the matter may be satisfacto- rily arranged, but these hopes are dashed with very serious apprehensions. c ‘The prevailing opinien seems to be that no settle- ment will now take place, and that arbitration wil! no doxbt be resorted to again. There can be no danger of a rupture with Great Britain on this point of difference, although a fruitless attempt to adjust it will exasperate the difficulties and produce some irritation on both sides. Injustice has been done to Mr. Preble, one of the Maine commissioners, by some of the papers. The eney of this gentleman in procuring the non concurrence of this government in the award of the King of the Netherlands—a more desirable arrange- meant, by the way, than we shall be able to effect— led to the belief that he might resist an adjustment: but it is said, and from good authority, that Mr Preble has been as anxious to conclude a treaty as any of his associates, and that he has labored with as much earnestness as any of them in accomplish- ing a result so much to be desired. In the mean time we are informed, from officia! sources, that nothing can be done, until the specia messenger, Major Cook, sent out by Lord Ashbur- ton, on the Ist of July, returns with further instruc- tions for hie lordship. In connection with this matter, the Augusta Age is of opinion, in respect to the North Eastern Boun- dary, that “‘no agreement can be consummated, upon the terms and conditions expressed by the Le gislature of Maine, during their jate Extra Session, and which terms and conditions are the only ones Maine can honorably ace »pt.” On the other hand, the New Brunswicker, published at St. John, an nounces the return to that Province, of the Hon Chales Simmons, one of the Commussioners relative to the Northeastern Boundary, and adds that his}as sociates would return in a few days. It further says, that had not commissioners been sent to represent New Brunswick, “a sad blow might have been given to the interests of the Province.” From all these facts, we come to the conclusion that a satisfactory settlement of this vexed question is still very problematical.

After the house was still on Sunday night, the deposition goes on to say :-~ Mr. Whitch to the open window, and Mr. N the bed some four or Whitcher stepped to the fire place to get the light, to see what the noise came from, or what caused it. As he took the light and turned round toward the bed, we both the room lighted up all at once with an unearth- ly crimson-colored light. It almost extinguished the light of tl parently almost out—and immediately we both saw a strange-looking man standing between us and the bed, looking apparently at Mr. Mann—his dress we cannot de- seribe, his whole face we did not see, His clothes were dark, but we cannot give the fashion or make, nor say whether he had on boots or shoes, or hat, or not. We were both transfixed—both stood there side by side, as Norris had risen up, Whitcher still holding the candle in his hand and no fire in the fire-place, at least none that gave any lignt, and as the strange man stood before us, his back toward us, and his face toward Mr. Mann. Mr, Mann appeared much excited and agitated; he rolled on the bed, and threw his arms about, and opened his eyes wide open, and appeared frightened, and to gaze upon the apparition, then he tried to cover up hi: head. The sick man, it is stated, then declared that he had forty years previously assisted his employer in murdering a man and making away with the body. He mentioned the name of Edwards, butin what connection the deponents cannot say. The aflida- vit then goes on:— He called no other name, and we may be mistaken in this name, but think we are not. He then sunk down, alter turning over once or twice, and throwing his arms tbout, groaned and died. We know we were frightened, ind could not speak, or did not, nor did the stranger, and 's soon as Mann had finished confessing, and was dying away, he (the stranger) was gone. How he got in or out, we know not; one door was open, but we did not see him some in or go out, nor can we believe that he did. The editor of the Statesman, in connection with the affidavit, tells the following story:— About forty or forty-five years since (we tell the story as told to us by individuals in the vicinity) aman by the name of Hodgdon was working in Landatt, N. H., as a join- er. ‘The last season he was there, he finished off a house for Jonathan Noyes, and made his home with Mr. Noyes een the time.” He lent Noyes some two or three hun- ired dollars in money, so that when the house was finish- ed, Noyes was indebted to him about four hundred dollars, for labor and money. When Noyes’s house was com: pleted, he went to work upon a house for Mr. John Gro: icinity, his clothes and part of his tools still re- maining at Noyes’s house. He left Cross’s house one evening to go up to Mr. Noyes’s—and was never seen after that time. Some lit- tle excitement existed there (as the old people tay) atthe time, respecting his mysterious disappearance, but as he Was a stranger, in a measure, it was said he had abscond- and Noyes soon after pretended to have received a let- ter from ‘somewhere in New York, requesting him (Noyes) to sell his (Hodgdon’s) tools, ‘and other things, and send the money on to him, which he accordingly did, and a set of drawers on the east side of the room near the foot of the bed, and a window by the foot, on the north The window was raised from four to six inches. ‘The door into the kitchen was open, and Mr. George W.

The whok prison is renovated, and those in confinement expressed! their great gratification and thanks for the comforts thus | extended them, ‘Two of the lower cells haye been appro- priated as bath rooms, which are supplied with hot water from the steam engine on the premises, and cold from the | Pipes that supply the prison.

New water pipes have been introduced is for the reception of the Croton, and in # we expect to be able to say that New York can boast of as cleanly a house of detention as any other | city. Much credit should be awarded to Alderman Cro- lius, Stewart and Bonnell, as well as Assistants Atwell, | Mead, and C, J. Dodge, the committees of the Common ; Council on Police, Watch and Prisons, for their indefatiga- | bleexertions in producing a reformation in this depart- ut of ourcity police. They have also turned their at- tention to remedy the defects of the lock-up watch house cells aswell as preparing suituble apartments for persons confined as witnesses. Passing along the second corridor we stopped a few mo- | ments to see poor Tappan, who is sentenced to be hung on the sth of August. He was engaged in reading his bible; complained of “shooting pains” through his head, which was tied up with a handkerchief over an extra bandage of flannel. He appeared fully conscious of his impending fate, and talked rationally as to the commission of the deed, but appeared to possess feelings of enmity against the wo. man who was in the room with him at the time he com- mitted the murder, as well as his eldest boy, both of whom appeared as witnesses against him on the trial. He said he received, almost daily, the spiritual advice and counsel ofthe Rev. Messrs. Evans, Mead, Pyne and Smith of the Episcopal church, he having been taught in that faith He expressed an ardent desire to see his two youngest children before the day of execution. His eldest child, « daughter, aged 19 years, he says is absent, but where, he knows not ; the other four, two boys and two girls, have all been bound out to different persons since the commis- sion of the murder. He is a dull, stupid man, of very little mind, and appears to remember the act for which he is to suffer death as adream, or something of which he has a most indistinct recollection. He resembles, in point of apathy of character, the man Russell, who was executed afew months since for a similar offence,and will no doubt | present similar characteristics at his execution. | We understand that an application will be made to the Governor for a pardon, or commutation of his sentence, on the ground that he was laboring under insanity at the time of the commission of the deed, as well as at the pre- sent period. This application is urged forward by the wife of a gentleman of literary attainments, and who has contributed much towards the history of ancient Mexico and regions thereabout by his travels and explorations. Passing the cell of Colt, we perceived him engaged in reading some historical work. He appears in excellent health and spirits, and in point of personal appearance, never has looked better since his imprisonment. ‘These are the only two persons confined in the male department of the city prison on the charge of murder. Mrs. Strat- ton, who recently committed the unnatural murder of her child, isin the female department, and was re: amined yesterday and fully committed for trial. She is snpposed to be partially insane, and is laboring under the last stages of consumption. Since the appointment of-Col. Jones as keeper of the city prison, he has selected the following Deputies:— Zebulon Homan, principal deputy ; Joseph Carlisle, Henry Jenkins, James D. Dustan, Levi W. Pierce, Wm. Bennett, George Gray, Theodore Kelly, and Wm. Palmer, deputy keepers. Wm. McDonough has been appointed keeper of the female prison, and Robert Stewart keeper at the upper police office. Lewis Halloran has also been appointed engineer at the city prison. ‘The conveyance of prisoners to Blackwell's Island, has been let outon contract to Kipp & Brown, who use the Black Maria for that purpose, which is driven by George Stedman. Joseph Bannon has also been appointed driver of the almshouse carriage by the commissioners. Arruication ror Panvon.—We understand that an ap plication for the pardon of Francis Jones, the young man who was recently convicted of highway robbery on “ The Points,” and sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the state prison, has been made to the Governor of the State, supported by a number of respectable persons. The evi. dence produced on the trial, was certainly such as to leave afew wi but whether the proceeds of the sale went to New York, | @ doubt on the minds of those who heard it, that Jones or any where, is not known. ‘The excitement, however, soon died away, and nothing more said or thought it, until the death-bed confession which we pul brought the hidden mystery to light. bie 9 died afew days since, and on his death bed, inti: mated that he had something to disclose before he could lie inpeace, but Mann went a day or two before his death, and spent a ole day with him, and after that no- thing more was said about divulging any thing, and he expired apparently in the greatest mental agony and un- ler horrible remorse of conscience,frequeatly exclaiming O God ! forgive me that onesin.

Goop.—A stage coach proprietor named Neal, in Cincinnati, has had to pay $8000 for injuries done by the overturning of his stage coach while racing The defendant is the proprietor of one of the mos! important stage lines in Ohio. There was also ano- ther line of stages’on the same route, which carried the mail. Opposition of course ensued, and at the time the accident occurred, the stages were racing It did not appear that Mr. Neal’s driver was particu- larly careless, or unskilful, independent of the gene ral wrong of racing, or imprudent competition. — The law, however, as it plainly exists, was laiv down by Judge McLean, that mmon carrier i> bound to the utmost degree of Agé>, skill and pru denca, in the management of what is committed tc his trust. Srversry Cowntep.—Marcus Cicero Stanley, the brother of the celebrated Stanley, the whig member of Congress, was most severely cowhided last night in the Park, by a gentleman, who consi dered that Stanley had grossly injured him. This is the same Stanley who was arrested in London for robbing Mr. Catlin. He is still in the city.

You have no idea of » whilst the cool sea breeze is being wafted to yor doors in quantities to suit demands. They hay been taking it into serious consideration to hay some of Professor Espey’s ventilators in our churet. es. Half the congregation were asleep yesterda. owing to the heat, and ——’s sermons. Sleep seem to have been infectious, for notwithstanding allen deavors, heads would nod till they reached the des! in front, but “La vie est un sommeil.” We have no bathing places here, unless a persor is contented to use the middle of the river as such Van Rensselaer’s Island used to be a great resor for that purpose, but now, whilst the Albany an: W.S.

A proposition to build a floathing bathing house was agitated this spring, but it has falle: through, like many schemes of the samekind. The island used to be thronged of a Saturday evening, lastsummer, but very few visit itnow. ‘The City Fathers ought totake the measure under their own: care and have it done. We have rumors of removals in the different go- vernment offices in this city, and each one given tc a rank locofoco, of the highest order. Report say: that James McKown has the Post Office in place of Gen. Sol. Van Rensselaer, who was Postmaster for several years under Gen. Jackson—removed during Van Buren’s reign, for Azariah C. Flagg, the present State Comptroller, and re-installed by Francis Gran ger, Post Master General, about two years ago. Mr. McK. is a first rate lawyer—partner of Hon John Van Buren—was Recorder from 26 till ’38.— Iie is a warm politician and an advocate of demo- cratic principles as the Hero of New Orteans un- derstands them. 1 was in attendance at the May- or’s Court the other day and could not help smiling to hear him ask his Hon., Judge Parmalee (the pre sent Recorder) an opinion upon some point of law, as though one so old and experienced, was not able to know what was or wasnot constitutional ‘The people all love him. On one election day. when he was explaining to the people the beautie: of the elective francise, and extolling our “adopted fellow citizens” to the skies; an Irishman, unable to-restrain his enthusiasm, pulled off his hat and roared out “change wasn’t made for man—Hur- rah for Jimmy MeKown !” Every one caught uj the ery and gave him three times three. Another appointment does not seem to be re- ceived so well by the party. It was said that Pete) ©. Doyle had been made Collector of the Port.— He ts prominent in politics, and useful in influencing votes. He is not the man for the office. It will no! be allowed by either party, that a place of so much trust should be confided in one like him. He keeps a grocery in the lower part of the city. Nothing but his qlgctioneering tactics cause him to be cho- sen for it.” He is an Irishman and is looked up to by them asa standard. PeterC. ought to be contented! with his share of the spoils; he is dock master un- der the present Administration. a a} There has been a removal which I forgot. Herman Fay was displaced and Captain Jas. Mahe1 appointed to Commissary department. The former had served in the ‘Regular Army,’ and seen service ‘The latterhad command ofa company, but whethe: inthe “Bloody 246th” or in the army, I cannot say He has been Alderman, State Librarian, &c. to: all his life. Nowhe keeps a grocery in State street, and is ingood circumstances. Maj. F. was depen dent upon his salary for support. I believe nine-tenths of our so-called Patriots would become locofocos, and even follow hi Satanic Majesty to have a place worth $1000 o: $1500. It would be a strong temptation at ali events.

According to last accounts from Hurrisbr rg, there wa not much probability of the passage of an Apportionment Bill. The Committee of Conference, to which had beer referred the bills of the respective Houses,had been unabl: to agree, and broke up in arow. There was agood des of wrangling debate going on which but served to wide: the disagreement. The two houses ure of opposite pol:- tics, and both being desirous of furthering their parties b) alittle Gerrymandering, is the cause of the difficulty. 1 is doubtful whether any thing like a bill will be passe: during the session As! predicted, Burton had a rousing house for his be: nefit lust night, at the Arch.

Fresuet at Ricustoxn.—A sad prospect is before us, just at this moment.

The information re- ceived is yet general, and will not, probably, be positive and mintite untilto-night. All that is known is, that a sud- den and tremendous fall of rain in the neighborhood of Lynchburg, where, it is said, the water fell in steady tor- rents for nine hours, caused a heavy and rapid rise in the river and canal. Some boats coming down struck with such violence against lock No. 17, as to carry it away, and the water rushing into the canal, tore away the banks in six or seven places, and rushed on with irresistible force. ‘The canal boat was obliged to return yesterday, after go- ing ap about, twenty . Farther injury, it is feared, will be heard of, although the damage now known must interrupt navigation for a considerable time, and amounts to avery heavy sum. Allthe low lands are under water, and immense quanti- ties of wheat. which were cut and sheaved, have floated off, causing very great loss to the farmers. Small boats were out saving what they could, but the amount thus saved cannot be much. The effect of this destruction of wheat and the interruption of travelon the canal, must, we fear, cause, to say the least, great inconvenience for a ts the only way is to set about reme- as possible.

Menotti, of France. M. Menotti has deservedly attracted the respect and ap. probation of the scientific Societies and Municipal authori- ties of his own country, on account of the great utility of his invention, which by being in sotid takes and there: fore exceedingly portable, places it in the power of fall persons, at a trifling expense, to render every description of clothing completely waterproof. The simplicity of the operation may be illustrated as follows, viz: A cake oftwo ounces dissolved in. boiling water, makes a solution sufficient to water proof from 4 to 5 yards of cloth, which may be done in less than ten mi- nutes, The cloth when dried after immersion, will freely admit air, but will effect exclude water; as will be abundantly proved by examination of the specimens here- with transmitted. The same procees is applicable to cor- dage, pasteboard, paper, felt for hats, silk, linen, woollen cottons of fast colors, all sorts of wearing apparel, sail cloth, tents, flour and corn sacks, carpet bags, horse cloths, &c. &c. Stuffs or cottons not of fast colors, may. also be made water-proof by changing the manner of application, And ail the articles enumerated may be washed with soap and warm water, without destroying their water-proof properties. ° ; In the confident belief that the merits of M. Menotti’s invention, iffairly tested, would be appreciated ne the public authoritias, and that they would recommend. the Hydrofuge Composition for adoption by the body of fire- men, watchmen, coachmen and carmen, the undersign. ed respectiully proposes to meet any committee or body of gentlemen who may, for the public benefit, desire a ri- gid investigation of the entire subject.

The con quence of which was that when he called upon us y: terday afternoon, he had almost recovered from the shock he received on the preceding evening ; this is but one case outof thousands who have experienced relief in the same manner. But this being no secret we make no notice of it. Clergymen who are inthe habit of speaking often, who are under the necessity of using reat exertion in order to enable them to speak with any e of fluency, we only wish them to read the certificates of members of the most respectable portion of the clergy, members of the bar, also members of Congress and the State Legisla- ture, also from private individuals, who have used this Candy in cases that were considered hopeless by phy 4 cians, and when all other remedies usually resorted to had entirely failed. We lay these facts before the public for their own interest, and once more say this remedy 1s to be obtained of John Pease & Son, 45 Division street. ‘Chey have also got agents at 139 Fulton street, Brooklyn; 8 State street, Boston ; 67 State street, Albany ; $7 Dock street, Philadelphia ; 232 Broad street, Newark J.110 Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md.; 26 St. Charles street, New Orleans. &G- THB MOST COOL AND DELIGHTFUL PLACE of resort in the city, isthe wrial garden onthe top of the American Museum.
