Mexico and Texas, The mystery of the annexation of Texas to the United States is beginning to unfold itself gradual- ly. The last accounts trom Texas as well as from Mexico, begin to be exceedingly interesting, and to show beyond the possibility of doubt or surmise, that foreign intervention in American affairs, has been deeply at work in all previous movements to- wards the consummation of the great measure of annexation. We believe that the administration and its organ at Washington—meaning the Union newspaper—now admit that the first glimmerings of this extraordinary European interference in the Texas question, originally afforded by this journal, are not idle surmises or silly reveries. The fact of the active interference of England and France in this question, has been now acknowledged by the Executive of Texas, as well as by Mexico herself. The only question now, and a most important one it is, is how tar this interference will go—whether it will stop with diplomatic intrigue, or branch forth into the employment of physical force so as to ac- complish its ends? The last news from Texas must indeed be rather astounding to those who have not been regarding the Tecent movements in that republic with calmnessand intelligence, and who may have been blinded by the givings out of the government organ at Washington. Jones now admits that he has been engaged in secret negotiations di- rectly counter to his public declarations, Ac- cording to all accounts, and we do not see any satisfactory reaso as yet to discredit the statement, it appears that the terms offered to Mexi- co for the recognition of Texan independence are payment of twenty millions of dollars, to be furnish- ed by England, and the guarantee by France and England of alliance and aid in case of resistance of the annexatfon measure. In Texas the popular movements growing out of this state of affairs begin to assume a character of the greatest interest and most “significant import. The Executive is no doubt entirely and resolutely opposed to annexa- tion, and probably the best means of accomplishing its purpose will be to delay and impede as much as possible for some time the final action of the people. It is impossible at this stage to say what may be the result of the popular excitement which is now increasing so rapidly and deriving so much addi- tional keeness and intensity in consequence of the course adopted by the government. Neither can we tell now how deeply compromised England, France and Mexico may be in that opposition to annexation, which has been conducted with such marked hostility to the United States. It is true that a great portion of the people of Tex- as is in favor of annexation, and may carry it at all hazards, provided they be left to themselves. But the strong inducements in every point of view that may be held out by England, may be such as to delay the accomplishment of the measure, until public opinion be essentially changed. In this case, the principal inducement that can be employed, short of actual physical force, would be an universa) stipulation onthe part of England .to grant higher commercial privileges to the products of Texas than are now given to those of the United States. For instance, take the article of cotton. It is well known that the republic of Texas, with such a population as the Southern States of this Union now possess, could, in a few years, cultivate cotton enough to sup- ply all the factories of England and France. If a stipulaiion, therefore, giving a monopoly to the Texan cotton planters in the English market, to the detriment of the American planters, were offered by England, it is obvious that the strongest possible pecuniary inducement would be held out for the purpose of obtaining a direct change in the opinion of the majority of the people of Texas. This is only one view of the argument which may be brought to bear in the Congress of Texas and the Convention which is to meet in the early part of next month—an argument quite strong enough to shake the purpose not only of such men as Jones, now high in office, but also of the majority of the people, however well disposed they may affect to be to annexation. From these views and from the developments by the last accounts from Texas, it is very clear to us, and we have every reason to believe that the myete- ty of the annexation of Texas is becoming more and more involved in difficulty and doubt, and that the governments of France and England have not allowed their Ministers to engage in such a business without having some settled plan and purpose in view, and which plan no doubt they will carry out, with the full force of all the powers of control in their possession. In such a positiun of things it would be well for the government to look around and prepare for the worst. The present aspect of things is menacing in the extreme. That all must now allow. ‘Tue OreanizaTion or THE New Potice is pro ceeding rapidly under the new Superintendent, Ma- jor Matsell. About five hundred men have parsed the ordeal, and some two or three hundred incompe- tent candidates been rejected. Several of the Cap- tains and Assistant Captains, were sworn in at the Mayor’s office yesterday, as well as some of the sub-Police force. The nominations are made by the Aldermen of the Wards, and in some instances they have been so silly as to nominate men who could neither read nor write; some ot these candidates being Irishmen, who have all, of course, been rejected, although nothing like “na- tive” feeling exists in the selection. Adopted citi- zens, if competent, are just as eligible as any others. The men selected are all intelligent and competent persons, and will doubtless make excellent officers The ordeal of examination is searching in the ex- treme, and nothing but abundant evidence of capa- city and character will enable any to pass. The mere nomination of an Alderman goes for nothing In choosing the men, the Mayor is also careful in rigidly excluding all heretofore in the Police Depart- ment, who have had any mysterious connection with burglars, thieves, and other offenders. When the organization is completed, we will have eight hundred men, active, faithful, efficient and compe- tent in all respects to discharge their duties and pre- serve the peace and order of the city, and the secu. rity of property in this great metropolis. It is grati- fying to learn that such activity has prevailed du- ring the past week in the Mayor’s office, in relation to the appointments. The absence of a well organis- ed Police force, has been long felt as a crying grie vance by the citizens of New York; and it is only to be wondered at, during the last few months, when we have had no police at all, the small amount of crime which oecars in our city, taking into consi- deration our vast population, who are left quite a1 the mercy of the gangs of rowdies, and loafers,wh« infest us in our very midst. Lone Istann Rauroav Riors.—We understand that the farmers on the line of the road in Suffolk County, have torn up the rails to some extent. Mats ror Evrore.—The letter bags of the Ca ledonia for Liverpool, will close in this city next Monday afternoon. Mr. Srcretany Manoy's MovEMENTs.—A good lating in the parade of last Thursday, as it wus sup- vosed that after the mournful pageant of Tuesday, he vould have declined the honor, and also on accouni fthe fatigue which the citizen soldiery must have xperienced. But these complaints are not at all easonable. The military ought toconsider Marcy’: “ituation. For the last few years he has been iv comparative retirement, and by the merest accident in the world, he has popped into the office of Secre- tary of War. Besides, he has to make up a pat- ty in this city, although his means to do it are rather limited at present, consisting original- ly of what made him Governor of this State —charging fifty cents for mending an old pair of breeches. Still he must do the best he can, and is quite right in seizing advantage of every circum- stantial God-send that may, by hook or crook, help him on. Then in looking after the defences,every one must admit that he is vigilant and faithful to his du- ty; brushing up his patriotism and preparing if the country should be menaced by France or England, to defend it at all hazards, ashe once did when he was a young man. He has indeed a good deal of talent, mixed, to be sure,with a good deal of hum- bug, which, after all, is a species of talent quite ser- viceable to your politicians. Besides, has not Mar- cy actually declined a public dinner? He is posi- tively modest. The Custom House of this city, too, is now or- ganized to Marcy’s satisfaction. He has now got three principal advisers and friends in this region— Prosper M. Wetmore, Elijah F. Purdy, and Jone- than D. Stevenson. All who want offices in the Custom House under the new regime can act ac- cordingly, Tue Surrressep Speecu.—The remarks of the Courier and Enquirer, relative to the suppression, after it was in type at the Union office, of a speech delivered by John C. Rives, before the democratic association of Washington, have elicited a very warm but not altogether satisfactory reply from the go- vernment organ. It denies that the press was stop- ped—it denies that the editor posted off to the Pre- sident—it denies that the President summoned his official advisers, but the gravamen of the charge is admitted by the Union, and thus in itsessential par- ticulars it holds good, and remains unaffected by the somewhat petulant reply of the organ. That such a speech was set up in type at the Union office— that on seeing the proof the editor immediately wrote to the author, requesting him to defer its pub- lication till after the tuneral solemnities in honor of the memory of General Jackson, and that it was accordingly ‘ suspended.” The speech, which has thus acquired greater interest than it would intrin- sically have possessed, has been published in the United States Journal, without alteration, and like the letter of Major Lewis, published in Tennessee, shows that on his dying bed Jackson disapproved cf several of the movements of Mr. Polk, particularly that upsetting the Kitchen Cabinet. But although General Jackson may have disapproved of that, we most heartily commend it, and so does the whole country. Custom House Movements.—There is a perfect mystery about the movements going on in the Cus- tom House during the last few days. We under- stand that thirty or forty removals have taken place, and as many new appointments been made; and that amongst the rest the venerable Thomas Cooper, father-in-law of Captain Bob Tyler, has been ap- pointed tosome office. The most singular surmises have been indulged by the politicians in relation to these movements in that mysterious building. It is supposed that the present action of the Collector will be confirmed by his successor. And it is also supp sed that Prosper M. Wetmore, Elijah F. Pur- dy and Corneiius W. Lawrence will be the nucleus of the new party now forming in the bowels of the democracy, and by which Mr. Marcy is to be here- after raised to some advanced position in the go- vernment. At all events the appointment of Mr. Lawrence is very unsatisfactory to the party that clamored so in- teal of complaint has been made by the military of his city on aceount of Mr. Seeretaty Marcy’s per- Ex-Presipent Houston anp THE Hox. Braxcu T. Arcuen,or Trxas.e-The following letter caste «great deal of interesting light on the recent in- trigues of the Executiveof , and appears tc show very conclusively the connection of Jonet and Houston with the anti-annexation movement: now beginning to be so clearly revealed. It musi be confessed that the portrait which is given of the Ex-President of Texas isby no means flattering — Mr. Archer, however, has doubless had ample op- portnnities of becoming scquainted with the man whose character he sketches with so much fear- lessness; and of its general fidelity, all who have been studying the recent movements in Texas, in which Houston, even according to his own state- ment, took no inactive part, may be enabled to form a correct judgment. It will be perceived from the note which accom- panics the letter, that it was refused insertion in the Union—a circumstance certainly worthy of note, and from which significant conclusions may be drawn. Here are the communications :— New Yorx, June 27, 1845. To tux Evitor or THe New Youu Henatp— Dear Sn :— You will find enclosed a letter addressed to Mr. Tho- mas Ritchie, which (as you will see) was intended for publication inthe paper under his direction. For rea- sons unknown to me, Mr. Ritchie has declined to publish, and returned the letter. if you will understand the object. From the letter its It is to. exclude from the democratic ranks of this nation aman who would disgrace any association of honorable men. I state this upon my own knowledge and responsi- bility; my veracity never having been questioned in any community in which I have had the pleasure to live. When I pronounce Gen. Sam. Houston, an unpri: poe and perjured demagogue, I pledge myself to lish the charge in any court of record, in this orany othercountry. Why Mr. Ritchie should desire to iden- tify Gen. Houston with his party, isa matter past my divination. Itis, however, his privil toextend to the General a filial embrace, and adopt him his own, bar I for one enter my solema protest against his re- ception , therefore, request, sir, that youfwill publish in vour useful and widely circulating journal, this lotter, with the letter addressed to Mr. Ritchie. Permit me hi , to remark, that information has this evening been received, that Gen. Houston has been elected a member of the Texan Convention. Though no prop! et, or the son of a phet, I venture to predict that he will uot dare attend that convention. Respectfully, your ob’t servant, B.T. Ancugr. James G. Barnatt, Esq. New Yorx, June 14th, 1845. To rue Epiton or tHe Union :— Dear Sir, In your paper of the Sth instant, you have quoted largely from the N. O. Republican, and from a letter from Gen. Jackson, the effect of which quotations is to identify hes Raver and th ministration with Gen Sam Hous- in. You do not know Houston as 1 know him. And as the tendency of your remarks, and of the extracts which you have quoted, is to perpetrate a fraud upon the pecele of this country, a fraud deeply injurious to the interests of Texas, I claim the privilege of replying to them, and setting the public right as to Gen. Houston's character and purposes. The published letter of the British minister in Texas, proves that Gen. Houston and Dr. Jon edged them- selves to the British bia rover that they were opposed to annexation. The fact that they were so opposed is notorious in Texas; and if it had not been so before the late developments of Jones’, diplomatic intrigues with the British minister are conclusive. For it is folly to at- tempt to separate Jones and Houston. They are identi- cal, as is further known by the fact that having reached Galveston on his way to the United States, he there as- certained that the public sentiment of Texas had reach- ed acrisis which threatened destruction to him and his faction, if he. did not move with the current; and there- fore he hastened to Washington, and induced Jones to issue,bis proclamation calling a convention to meet on the 4th of July. Finding that he could not arrest the torrent of public opinion, he resolved, if possible, to put himself at the head of the movement. But, sir, that was not all. His policy has been to array Western Texas against Eastern Texas, that he might put himself at the head of the stronger against the weaker interest; andhe has gone so far as to induce Jones to usurp the right to ap- tion the representatives in the convention to meet on The 4th of July, because he feared to lea with the Congre: because he ho) pation, to give eastern counties a tation in the State Legislature than he do, hoping thereby to increase his chances of getting to the Senate. He has not only refused to give that pro- tection to the west which it was his duty as the Presi- dent of the republic, to give, but he has done all that he could do to arrest emigration to the , and by divi- tional questions, the sea’ of go- question, and arraying himself with what heconceived to be the strongest interest, to keep a personal popularity atthe expense of the repub- He has done mor y a contract made with Charles’Fenton Muner,wi it authority of law, he has endeavored to so locate the emigration coming into the republic, as to pisnatien his personal and political influence, by fraudulently granting to Mr. Muner and his British abolition, associates, the right to colonise a large district of the finest and best lands in Texas, to contain near twelve millions of acres. A grant . as Trepeat, without authority of law, and closing the land office to those who had had right claims and military bounty warrants, und which illegally deprived the old a cessantly for the removal of Mr. Van Ness. The friends of Mr. Van Buren consider themselves to have been completely check-mated in this move- ment by the President himself, and the indignation against Marcy is not loud but deep is showing iteelf in many quarters. We say to old breéches, fifty cents per patch, “go ahead !” Corroration Excurston.— Nowzan’s Horer.— Hon. Sec’y Marcy, attended by a numerous party of friends, civic and military officers, made an excur- sion yesterday to view the water works, &c. After viewing the great reservoir, the acqueduct at Mc- Coomb’s Dam and other places,the party repaired to Harlem, where Mr. Nowlan was prepared in his new hotel to receive them in a fitting way. This estab- lishment has just been opened by Mr. Nowlan, where he is ready to furnish visitors with break- fasts, dinners, tea, suppers, and other refreshments on the shortest notice. It is situated on the river side and quite close to the Harlem Railroad, by which passengers can be conveyed for a shilling from the City Hall. Mr. Nowlan gave a general in- vitation to visitors to call and see him, and none will be more welcome than his military friends, for whom there is good parade ground and every ac- commodation. Well, after all this, who will refuse to patronise Mr. Nowlan, the identical Mr. Now- lan who kept Prospect Hall, near Yorkville, a very short time age, but whose courtesy would be as well remembered if it were ten times as far back ? Lavine a Conver Stone.—Yesierday morning the chief quoin of Mr. Stewart’s new and superb ware- house, now erecting on the former site of Washing- ton Hall, was laid in presence of a good number of spectators. Among the rest, the Secretary of War, the Vice Chancellor, and Mayor. It is a large block of granite, nine feet by three; in the centre isa cavity, in which was deposited a copper box, con- taining a few coins, and with a few of the news- papers of the day, a copy of the Herald containing the representation of the obsequies in honor of Gen- eral Jackson. Posterity willone day be edified by « discovery of these interesting relics of the present age. New Summer Drinx.—By referring to our adver- tising columns, under the head of “Something New and Usetul,” it will be perceived that a new species of transportable summer drink has been brought before the public by Mr. L. Joachimsen, 129 Attorney street, in the shape of Orgeat Paste, which, when dissolved ‘in water, forms a healthy and pleasant drink. Itis neatly put up. in boxes, and will keep in any climate. . The Hon. Danuez Wensren, who has been in the city for some time upon professional business, left the “Astor” yesterday, for his residence at Marsh- field, Massachusetts. Hon. Wilson Shannon, Mi- nister from Mexico, is still at the City Hotel, invi- sible from impaired health. The Hon. W. L. Mar- cy, Secretary of War, remains at the American, having so far completed his official survey of forti~ tications. Tue Poyrre Capraiw.—The passengers by the packet ship Baltimore, lately arrived from Havre, addressed a letter to Captain Funck, expressive of their appreciation of his kind and gentlemanly con- duct towards thera during the passage; they also in- cluded the worthy Captain’s brother in their vote of | #! thanks. Tue Srreets.—The hot weather is now begin- ning and many of the streets are in a bad condition, Let the Corporation look to this. There is no ex- cuse for any negligence in this reapect. Sreamsuir New York, Captain Wright, havii onade her last ttt to Galveston for this season, is ees ‘ertised to leave for New York on Tuesday next. This ine vessel has made 266 trips between this port and Gal- veston, without accident or sustaining any damage.—N. 0. Tropic, June 17. Court or Errors.—One of the Rochester papers ays that this Court has resolved to hold its next term on the @th August next, in that city, settlers, who had conquered the country, of their just rights, and ing millions of their best lands to Mr. Munerand British abolitionists. In this Gen. Houston has overdone his part. The fraud has excited a feeling of indignation inst him, which manifested itse]f in the proceed ery part of the republic, aiid gave a deeper feeling to the demand for annexation. the inducements to which, was a desire to re country from the corrupt men into whose hands rupt intrigues of Houston had betrayed it. ‘We are at no loss for the object of his visit to the Her. mitage. Houston sees inthe annexation of Texas, an opportunity of trans! ing his intrigues to another thea- tre. He is (we are told) already a candidate for the Pre- sidency of the United States; and we, who know the excess of his vanity, and the former success of his dupli- city and cunning, can nal erode report. To attain this preferment, he seeks first to reach the Senate of the United States, and he wishes to obtain the endorsement of General Jackson, and of the administration at Wash- ington, thathe may persuade the le of Texas that he is to be the channel through which the Laat nrg 3 Wi on is to be dispensed. Hence although it is no- to at he was drunk during the greater part of the time that he was at Washington, during the lete session of the Texian Congress, he now comes to New Orleans to make temperance speeches ; and hence he has the in- delicacy to in his wife’s name, and his wife’s reli- ‘ion, as constituting one element of his claims to popu- lar favor. J But above all, Sir, permit me to call your attention to General Houston's own confessions, made to a late 1 lic meeting held in the city of New Orleans. Did he not there acknow! that he had as President of the Republic of Texas, been guilty of insincerity and de- ception, duplicity and cunning, in treating with high- minded honorable gentlemen Protest two govern- ments, (England and France,) notorious for their strict honor and eid observance of good fuith in all matters in which they may have been’ concerned—two nations that had at an early od of Texan difficulties recognised the independence of her government, and in good faith sent accredited its to conduct an honorable interchange of mutual obligations and duties between the parties. What, may J ask, will be the feelings of the honorable entlemen who have been ert vie infidetity and frischood of General Houston? And what the it tion of their respective governments, when ‘they ‘hod they have been treating with a nation confiding their na- tional character to the ‘oping of such a man as General Samuel Houston? The eee of Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, or even Mexico, in their most reckless contempt of national obligation and good faith, would not have made an acknowledgment so humiliating to their coun- tries ; and yet General Houston, late President of Texas, sae CI falsehoods the softer nam “ coquetry.” ‘hat unblushing guilt has marked this man’s whole ca- reer! I will not trouble B ys with details, connected with the moral turpitude of his nature. Though, be as- sured, if there was one redeemingftrait in his character, I would hail it as a green spot in the waste of morals. 1 deom it my duty, as a citizen of Texas, knowing Gen, Sam. Houston well, and that he has at all times been a withering blight upon her destinies, to protest against ‘our identifying your paper, or the administration, with him or his corrupt and hypocritical proceedings. {sign my own proper name to this letter, because its character —— a to require that I alone should be held reapon- sible for it.

Tue Mexican anp Texan Treaty.—The term: or conditions of the negotiations which have bees, conducted between Mexico and Texas, under the aus ices of the English and French governments, were not jaid before the public with hed oa wien They were probably presented to Congress on Monday last We hove reason fo believe that the articles ure few in number, and relate enly— lst.

The providing of an arbitration, in case the parties should not agree upon a boundary. None of the induce: its which led to the negotiation. as a matter of course, mentioned in the document The vate history of the transaction is also withheld The Irdemnit} , spoken of by the Mexican letter-writers, an gathered the Havana press, does not fim a we learn, in the treaty, nor does the guaranty of Hnglan’ and France. That there are other bie anna ta and un- derstandings than those written for the public eye, we have little doubt. The Proclamation of an aimstice by President Jones was one of these. It is more than pro- bable that the failure of the plot to prevent annexation will make it the policy of those concerned to suppres: il that have not already seen the light Owing to this fact, the darker phases of the conspiracy will not be seen by this generation.—N. O. Pic., June 19 Fire in New Brunswick.—We learn that there was a large fire on Thursday night in New Bruns. wick. It appears that some premises belonging te Griggs & C ere set on fire a few days which cir cumstance induced the owners to got He sa in- sured to the amount of $4,000. Thursday night, about 11 o’clock, during the absence of Mr. G. at Warren, the lumber in the yard and some back buildings were consu med by fire. A considerable portion the pre would have been saved had it not been for ral casks of gunpowder which were sto: ct ren- dered the greatest cautio: ery at loss of life might otherwise have ensued. After the explosion of the Lvl 9 the fire was soon subdued. Griggs & Co. enstained a loss of $8,400 by fire about two months ago, Frencu Orrra.—The second performance of “La Favorite” went off extremely well last night, and ‘we can positiVely assert, thet there never has been brought out in New York an opera of that magni- tde with such a remarkable ensemble, from the first bar to the last. There reigns throughout a per- feet symmnetry—in the orchestra—the chorus—and the singers. -Calvé and Arnaud did extremely wel! as on the firet night, but Garry took the public by surprise ; he sung with an entrain fire and expres- sion, particularly in the third aet, which, in connec- tion with his rare and melodious voice, cannot fai to place him—with proper study, as he evidently is a débutant—in the first rank amongst baritones, Much praise is due to Cceuriot, the first tenor of the comic opera, for having taken upon himself a minor part; it materially contributed to the unity of the whole opera. Prevost’s leading is the best we have ever had in America; he carries every thing along, from hisbeing fully identified with the part of every individual performer ; he truly leads the singers in- stead of following them. One of the most interest- ing features of the opera is the chorusses, both with regard to composition and execution ; they are admirable. Mr. Davis has really evinced uncom- mon tact in the selection of the company and all the arrangements in general, and we ate certain, that his efforts will be crowned with success. Caste Garpen.—A large audience again last night were attracted to this delightful spot,and found it beyond comparison, the coolest and most delight- ful spot in the city. The promenade outside was thronged with visitors, who were enjoying the cool sea breeze and beautiful view of the bay and sur- rounding scenery. The entertainments are varied and interesting, comprising Overtures, Ancient Sta- tuary, dancing and comic tableaux. To-night a most amusing bill 1s set forth. Nisto’s Garpen—Mr. Rozerts’ Benxrrr.—To- night this popular perfurmer takes his first Benefit in America, and if he receive one commensurate with his talent, he will be amply remunerated. An excellent selection of entertainments is announced— ‘One Hour,” with the Polka,which is nightly honor- ed with an encore; the ‘Married Rake,”the Acrobat Family in their astonishing and graceful. perform- ances, and the last new piece of the “Trumpeter’s Daughter.” In the course of the evening, Mr. Ro- berts will sing the celebrated comic song by Parry, called the Musical Wife. This is an admirably va- ried bill of fare, and will, no doubt, at ract all Mr. R.’s friends, and many of the strangers in the city. Great preparations are making here to celebrate the glorious Fourth of July. All kinds of amusements. will be given, and such a display of Fireworks by Edge as has been rarely, if ever witnessed. Patmo’s Orera House.—The Ethiopian burlesque company are giving great satisfaction by their cle- ver burlesques of some of our most popular operas. To-night they perform one on the donnambula, or as they express it, Som-am-Bull-Ole, all the original music being retained. Vauxnatt Garpen.—The dances and comic songs, together with the performances of the Ethio- ian Operatic Brothers and Sisters, frm a most li- rere sreaiaas, at ay so agree t is visited ni a select com; Mr. Delaree, 4 manager, deacevon odio ia enterprise. Thisevening they have, as usual, an excellent bill. New Bowery Tuearre.—We understand this theatre has passed into the hands of Mr. Champlin, and that he will open on Tuesday next. To Recrurr Heatran anv Ensoy Lire should be the object of all—particularly the trade bound of the great towns with which the earth is dotted. Itis not every large city that affords such ample means for this most neceesary object of our existence as “Old Gotham” herself. But be that as it may, they are of little utility unless they are amply appreciated by those who need it. We cordially respond to one of the able writers of this country,— “ Go forth into the fields, Ye dwellers in the ye: troubled mart ; Go forth to know the influence nature yields, To sooth the wearied heart.” And for this object, nature in her all bountiful provi- dence has given us a Hoboken ; and itis pleasing to know that it is daily growing in public estimation. Indeed it cannot be well otherwise—hundreds daily flock to this delightful spot to recruit fatigued nature, and hide from the busy turmoil of this life, if only for a few hours. There are other spots to some—to many, equally {| inviting—we have Staten Island, with the capacious bay, ivs splendid establishments—where every thing that is needed for health and comfort is amply provided. The beautiful ride along the beach to Fort Hamilton affords both health and ex- ercise, affording beneficial effects alike to the care- worn invalid and the pent up citizen. Here, too, there is every comfort provided—every courtesy of- fered, at the establishment of one of the best of caterers, Alonzo Reed ; and in addition to which, the ride per steam packet, which now runs regularly, is worth more than all the expense or loss of time inci |. There are others too, in the immediate neighborhood, equally ihe for of notice, The Tri- ton Mansion House, at McComb’s dam, is well worthy of a visit; nor does the Bath Buildings at Long ch, New Jersey, fall behind in respecta- bility and accommodation, with the best of sea bathing. The Williamsburgh Cottage, too, affords every accommodation that can be required. But there are few or none that can surpass the Marine Pavilion, Rockaway, for all these comforts and ne- cessaries ined. Here the most, perfect seclu- sion may be obtained ; or, if it iadesired, the most | respectable and intelligent circle of visitors. for.are these the only places where these most desired objects are to be obtained. On this island we have some most beautiful retreats. There is Nowlan’s, near Harlem ; the Abbey, Stryker’s Bay, and a host of others. ‘hat can be more delighttul than aride along the avenues, or otherwise to Lake Manorac—one of the most quiet, beau- titiul places in the vicinity of this city, and those fond of fine Fag and good fishing, will find every facility for the enjoyment of these sports.— The lake is about seven miles in extent, and af- ford some delightful places on its shores tor pic-nic parties.
