Saratoea Sprinas, J uly 28, 1846. The Weather—The Times—Polkas—Express—Ar- rivals. After several days of the most changeable wea- ther—now hot, then cold, raining like a torrent, | as if the clouds were a mammoth shower bath, | then clearing away like a scolding woman aftera | passion, at the sight of a new dress—we are now, a8 | write, flattering ourselves with a season of good weather—the clouds have disappeared, | and the sun smiles gallantly upon us from a bright sky. Itis charming—and many bright faces are seen on the piazzas, walks, balconies, and in the | streets, de-ermined to enjoy,the first blushes of old Sol, on showing his face from behind the clouds. ‘j You may think, that with the disagreeableness | ofthe weather, we have had a dull time at this | gay place. Better not infer it—could n’t make a | greater mistake. For what could not be enjoyed |in open air excursions to the many enchantin; laces in this vicinity,has been more than balance by the gayest, most attractive, brilliant hops and arties ever witnessed in this place. Last even- ing, especially, wasa memorable occasion of this sort. At an early hour, the spacions dining hall of the United States Hotel was put in order—illu- minated almost to a glare—buc the brilliancy of the scene derived its surpassing beauty from the scores of beautiful, smiling ladies, who were pre- sent, arrayed in princely style, with jewels and gems only exceeded in lustre by eyes sparkling with animation ; and in all, gentlemen and ladies, between one and two hundred were soon seated, | or passing from place to place, receiving and wiv- | ing introductions, and all preparing for a grand féte, as * happy and free” as if life hud no clouds, and adversity and pain were forever banished. . dna few moments the band commenced play- ing, and one alter another, gentlemen and ladies, or ladies without gentlemen, were dancing and whirlng like ethereal beings across the floor. Among the number whose movements were most sylpl-tke and graceful, winning the admiration of all, I not the accomplished lady of Hon. Mr. —, of N. O., Miss —», of Albany, and Miss =—» of Baltimore, the Misses —- and —, of Boston and New York Among the gentlemen who perform the Polka, as well as every other dance with surpassin, elegance, are Mr. —,, of N.O., Mr. —, of New York, and others from places 1 do not recollect. But all passed off with admirable éclat; and, although the party dispersed ata late hour, yet the hours had seemed but mo- ments, so delightfully had they passed to specta- tors and participants in the dances. Who, on such an occasion, could blame one whose silvery locks denoted the passing of three score of winters over his head, for wishing his “gout in the sea, aud his youth and buoyancy back again? Cer: tainly, no one, But this is not all we have in the way of amuse- ment. You hive, perhaps, visited the garden of Mr. Cole, ut the upper part of Broadway—those retired, shaded walks—the ice cream saloon— the bowling saloons—the shooting gallery; &c. Well, they are thronged, now, with ladies and gentlemen every day. Among those whom you might frequently see at friend Cole’s, are some of the most talented and popular clergy of your city and other places—Rev. Dr. P— and Rev. Mr. . I was not aware they could bow! so scien- tfically. They can’t be beat by inexperienced hands. And the ladies, large numbers of whom are daily engaged there, area match for the best. he garden was last night lighted up ina splen- did manner, and a large and select Party engaged at thealleys, Ithink the New York ladies excel all others in this exercise—a “ten strike,” or a “ spare” is no uncommon occurrence with them. Butjwe are by no means deficient in other means of entertainment. Your enterprising agent, Mr. Mundell, has all the papers in utfe country, almost; and books witheut number—the “ latest ouv”— turnishing those who wish,with reading matter in abundance, und of all sorts. And { wi say here, in praise of his enterprise, that he has cominenced running an express from this place to Troy, and back, in order to being us'the some twelve or fifteen hours in advance of the mail; so that we get your paper, (hundreds of which are sold daily, and read with great eagerness,) in the evening of the day of its publication. This ex- press aiso provides a conveyance from Troy in the evening, to those who wish to proceed in advance of the train—the express leaving Troy on the ar- oval of the boats, aud coming through in three ours. Arrivals are daily increasing now. The hotels are filling up on every floor; and, yet, there are hundreds more, who have sent notice ahead of their intentions to be here in a few days. The express leaves in a moment, and I must close, promising you more to-morrow. Newrort, July 20, 1846. Shots from the Sea Shore—The Sutlej Sufferers, &e. §e. The fair sun is again shining out, and the dark sea fog is dispelled by his bright warm rays; yes- terday was a Sunday, though not a sunny day. It is a day of sober solemnity in Newport. Some go to churches, (of which there are ten or twelve here) while others stay at home. This is pretty much the fashion everywhere. The church goers and-the non-chureh goers agree in one thing, the pleasure of an evening promenade. They walk to the bathing beach and along the cliffs. This walk is delightful. The breeze fans you, and you are enchanted by the romantic and varied scene- ry. On this diy you may meet the native peo- ple abroad. They are a modest, inoffensive peo- ple. There is but little awkwardness in their manner, and none of that ga ie which is the characteristic of the country bred. I have rarely, if ever, met with a community who seemed to possess more of the nil admirari, than these same citizens cf Newport. The ladies of Newport have won the observations of all travellers on their beauty. During my short residence here, I have seen at least a dozen who would be belles on the pavements of Broadway. The brunette complex- ionand Spanish physiognomy, predominate. I have been trying to account for this. The inha- bitants of Sexe have all along been a seafar- ei people. They have traded much with the West Indies. Many of the masters of their brigs and schooners have married there, bringing their wives and relations to their homes at Newport. Hence the deep dark eyes that encounter you at every corner. You cannot fail upon a Sunday evening to meet with one or more of those dark eyed belles. They walk fearlessly forth alone, or sometimes attended by a brother or lover. They are net at all unconscious of the effect their charms have upon you. Of this you are convinced by a coquertish glance from beneath a coquettishly placed bonnet—a look that seems to say, “I know yon think me pretty ;” or if unattended, you may be favored by a slight turning of the head and a most provoking smile over that litte shoulder of alabaster. f you should be thus fuvored, do not imagine that the little vi/lageoise is in love with you, for you would be much mistaken. She is only curious to see whether her beauty has had the usual effect. Should re be a conceited fellow, and fellew her, she will deem you ridiculous, and you will only be enacting the farce of ** Love’s Labor Lost.” The citizens of Newport have received a letter from the County Court of Pictou, N. 8., thanking them in the warmest terms for their kindness and generor nt to the unfortunate survivors of the Sutlej. These, you will remember, had embark- as it nerous =e ane L earts. @ people Newport have no doubt felt themselves amply repaid for their generosity in this matter, by the c¢ mscientiousness of haying accomplished even more ay their duty. A good action is its own ewarc The letter we speak of was forwarded to New- port by Mr. Bracket, our consul at the port of ietou. The amusements in this place are every day becoming more lively. To-day is a fine day for the bagnio. Troops of fair creatures, shrouded in shawls, their faces concealed in huge sun-bonn may be seen crowding into the carriages, driving off toward the beach. These sun-bon- nets arg indispensable to certain fair ladies, who, alter emerging from tho “ deep blue sea,” wi perhaps seem rather too fair in the eyes of those they might encounter, But the sun-bonnet is a Sora plese domino, and like the nebula that screen- ed Venus on her visit to the City of Dido, it se- cures the sweet face of the baiher inst al ny until once more safe within the chamber —the perfumed regions of paint and pomatum. am unconsciously beeoming quite scandalous.

If we had only the good fortune to have been a brother, a cousin,or a-a-lu—husband (curse the word, it almost chokes me) we should not now have been perched upon the cliff, view- ing the scene through a tele-cope, but might in the midst ofthem ; but let the topic rest for the present. Regrets are vain. Well.” “ Each has entered a little bathing house ; [can count over 300 of these, standing on wheels along the beach, and looking like so many sentry boxes. Ha! the little painted doors re-open, and the inmates issue forth, but—ok! how changed in outward appearance ! Instead of the oli sun- bonnet-and the coarse colorless calico, they now glisten in allthe colors of the rainbow ; réed, green, blue, predominate ; some steal cautiously forth, timid and modest as the naked nymphs of Diana ; while others, of “ older experience,” dash down the sandy slope and fling themselves fearlessly upon the bosom of the breakers. Here they go hand in hand to meet the coming wave ; there they are gathered in groups, exulung in the briny flood, and laughing in esch other’s embrace. Here a faa ereature has ventured far beyond her depth, and, with bold stroke, combats the sweil- ing billow ; she would make a fine wife for a satlor. Close in shore, a gentleman is pursuading his sister—a girl of sixteen, timid as a fawn—to wade further into the water ; but no, she wiil not goone step further! She is from the west ; she has never been near the great ocean before ; she is frightened at the huge height and the hoarse barking of the breaker: ; and as each new wave leaps against her well developed limbs, she can scarce repress a scream ; she trembles from head to foot—and yet, perhaps, in her far western home, this terrified creature would not hesitate to take up the rifle, (the husband of course being from home,) and level it at the wild-cat, the prairie wolf, or even the tawny savage of the torest himself!

The dear creatures are still plung- ing and plashing about, like so many sweet sea nyinphs.

Increase of Buffalo—Black Rock—Description of the Fortifications—Steamboats—Sands, Lent & Co., &ec, §e. The city of Buffalo is destined to become the metropolis of the West. It now contains some 35,000 inhabitants, and has increased in popula- tion within the last five years upwards of ten thousanc souls, or, an average of two thou- sand a year. ‘Two-thirds of the population is composed of German families recently settled here, and there is not an idler to be found within ten miles of the lake. A rupture with the British to-morrow, would not in the least affect the interests or endanger the safety of Butfalo, In these military times, a short sketch of a fortification now just completed near Black Rock, may not be uninteresting to your readers. It comprises a redoubt, including an enclosure of breast-high wall, occupying an area of 231 feet. In the centre is built, of the peculiar rock with which that neighborhood abounds, a tower of 62 feet square, the foundation of which is 34 feet below the summit of the bluff, being excavated for that purpose, and the earth thrown out, made use of to form the glacis, which takes a gradual descent from the top of the breast-high wall some two hundred yards. “Around the two 1846. srertiegremavaentsnsesimetmitcnenatiicinedtadl Ciunty, on the Sann, Lower Styria, June 6, 1846, : An old Roman Town—Scenery—Railroad between .the Baltic and the Adriatic—Popular Supersti, tione respecting the Locomotive. The Inn of the Wivite Ox—The Laboring Classes— Their mode of Life-- Their language--Facilities for Travelling on the Continent—Hostility between the Hungarians and Sclavonians—The Bohemians. It is not, I believe, recorded in Roman history, nor in the biography of the Emperor Cliudius, that, in founding the town of Cilly, [Claudia Cel_ leia,of the Romans,) that his wise men and divin. ers had the Jeast suspicion that,in the year 1846, so | far-famed a sheet as the New York Herald would exist in a world not then discovered; and, more- over, that its humble correspondents would make the labors of said emperor the field of their inves- tigations, for the purpose of contributing to its co- lumns. But times are changed, and, notwith- standing the old adage, that “there is nothing new under the sun,”’ new things and new move- ments Lidl tae 204 into existence daily, and the watch-word of the civilized world is becomin; ‘* Katerprize.”” {am within the walls of an ol town, whose appeerance would indicate that its history comme nced with that gf the creation : its walls are, here and there, decorated with Roman inscriptions; and before tna han main gate, the stranger is kindly informed, Rept, > sign, that “It is positively forbidden to beg or fight in its streets.” The river, that flows along under its ramparts, is lined for a considerable distance, on each side, by busy washerwomen, who ply their trade all day long, standing up to their knees in the flowing stream, and whose constitu- tions seem to have borrowed their character from the rocks that overhang their heads, the ruins of an ancient castle, inhabited by the robber knights of the middle ages, impends over its very roofs, and the tolling of the convent bell resounds from the neighboring summit, and summons the inhabitants of the valley to repair to the high places and engage in devotion. Butthe warning voice of the bell of the “‘ Holy Fathers,” has just been interrupted in its solemn tones by the shrill whistle of a locomotive; and the past and the pre- sent are struggling for the ascendancy, each in a manner characteristic of itself; the former in the measured and reverential tones of old age—the pert with all the ardor and spirit cf buoyant youth. 5 The immense line of road that is finally to con- nect the Baltic with the Adriatic, is fast approach- ing completion in the neighborhood of the latter sea, and has just been finished from a consider- able distance in the interior up to this spot. Through the kindness of one of the Imperial Counsellors, I was invited to join a party of scien- tifle gentlemen, military and civil officers, on an experimental trip prévious to the regnlar opening of this section of the road. The opportunity of making a first trip with steam into the heart of a country where the mass of the inhabitants never heard the name was not to be missed, and I ac- cordingly joined the party with much pleasure. Nearly the whole extentof country in Styria, traversed by the road, is perfectly enclose by undulating ridge of the paving Styrian Alps, whose summits are crowned by end- less forests, and whose sides are adorned with the most luxuriant vineyards ;—rocks rise on rocks—hills on hills, and mountains tower above their fellows, with a grandeur that is indescriba- ble. These are Fringed with a species of pine to the very summit, and are the abode of the Alpine woodmen, who ascend as soon as the snows of winter have disappeared, build a rude hut of branches, and follow their business ameng the clouds, until the frosts of autumn force them back to the valleys and their smiling vineyards, to await the melting of the snows of the coming winter; when the torrents that rush down the mountainsides bring with them the labors of the previous season. e peuple are rude, aad un- cultivated, and the SupeArence of a roaring loco- motive, and its train of cars, passing with a speed, to them, incalculable, produced a degree of con- sternation which was, at times, ludicrous, and at others was calculated to excite a combined feeling of sympathy and pity.

Again, laborers in this | country perform about half as much in the same time a3 American laborers—this is no exeggera- tion ; I have seen it practically tried,and although labor is so very Cena the expense of building public works is nearly or quite as great here as There can be but littie doubt that this An American with us. depends on the difference of diet. | workman lives infinitely better, perfonms more labor, and receives better compensation. No- thing is more sadly needed here, than a ‘, kitchen | reform,” and until the laboring classes on the | continent eat more meat than they do now, they will not be abie to compete with American or English labor. he energy and capacity of the individual is al- together ditterent, according as the stomach is supplied with meat or vegetables; the soil bears different fruit, accoruing as it is meistened by wae ter, wine, or beer. The amount of vegetable food required to support the exertion of hurd la- bor is sogreat as to keep the digestive powers continually on the strain, while meat gives more than double the quantity of nutriment, amd re- quires but half the time to digest. Give the low- *r orders of Europe a better diet, and they will toon become a different people. There is but litte sympathy between the work- ing classes and sheir overseers—the latter are in- credibly numerous, and consider themselves another order of beings. At a dinner given at the opening of the roud already mentioned, no less than 200 civil officers were present, who were more or less connected with the undertaking in what way all of the latter gentlemen employ their time, is a problem which | shall not pretend to solve. In the neighborhood of Cilley they do net speak the language of the people; a dialect of Sclavonian, termed the Wendish, 18 the tongue of the lower classes—their rulers speak the German. This naturally produces a gap between them, and one which is growing greater daily. Many of the important nauonal movements at present on the tapis in Europe, seem litle less than paradoxical, when viewed merely on the surfgce. The facilities for travelling, are every- where ann hilating time and space, and bring- ing every nation on the continent into intercourse with its fellows ; under such circum- stances we might suppose that the relics of the less cultivated languages still existing here, would gradually disappear, and give place to those al- ready possessing the elements which correspond to the present advanced state of society, and which are rich in literature and scienee. Sucha course in the people, that are now just emerging from a state of lethargy, would be like ing one giant step from the past to the present, an would place them on an eminence whence they would have a fair startin the great race. This, however, is not the case; the peace that has reigned in Europe for the last few years has drawn off” one great source of excitement—the fear of being conquered, and the necessity of being con- finned’ engaged in preparations for self-defence —and fins given to the many inferior nations of Europe a few leisure moments to consider their condition, and the position which they maintain in comparison with their sister nations, They now see that they have been nearly blotted from the listo! nations, and that the idiom of their fa- thers has either been nearly swallowed up by the contests in’ which they have been involved, or has remained so long stationary, as to be no longer adequate to the maniold demands and’ intricacies of European life. Not at all daunted, however, they spurn to_ bor- row the ingenious instrument of their neighbors, and are devoting all their energies to the cultiva- tion of their mother tongue. This draws their at- vention from the present state of knowledge and the arts—keeps them in the back ground, and makes them jealous of those with wliom necessity obliges them to mingle. In Hungary, the Latin was, until within a year, the language of the diet —Hungarian has now become the language of the tribunals and the assemblies, and those who cannot speak it, cannot be heard. Many mem- bers ofthe dietare Scavoniansof the southern art of Hungary, who, as noblemen, speak the atin, but do not understand Hunganan—they are the weaker party, and being thus deprived of their rights of being heard, cherish a deadly enimi ty towards those who are members of the same political association. This enmity extends itself to all classes of the people, and the Hungarians and Sclavonians are at sword’s points, hating each earth ; and, with all due respect, hats were taken off as we passed, and many a breast was crossed walls, fronting the lake and the Niagara river. are placed 22 thirty-two pounders. The guns are all mounted upon the Barbet carriage, revolving on traverse circles, and so constructed that they cannot, in case ofa surprise or successful assault, be turned upon the tower. The tower rises 75 feet above the level of the lake. It is roofed with heavy concrete masonry and brick, supported upon arches, covered over with asphaltum; above the asphaltum is thrown in earth, averaging in depth 9 fee. On the north-western angle of the crest of the tower is erected a four gun battery, intended to be mounted with from 82 to 60 pound Paixhan guns. The batteries command en- trance ef the lake from Niagara river go effectu- ally, that no supposable fleet could ever force a assage. The whole 26 guns could be brought to Baar upon any single object anywhere within two miles of the works. “The front of the redoubt is rotected by a perpendicular bluff of rock rising Fn near the edge ot the Niagara river, from which it is separated by part of the Erie canal and Buffalo creek, making a landing on that side next toimpossible. The approaches to the rear and flanks are also extremely difficult. From the situation of the ground, the heaviest ordnance could give no vital injury to the tower, even at a distance of ten or fifteen feet from the crest of te work ; and should an enemy approsch any ar- erthan that, he would be ex to a iire of musketry from eighty loop-h the tower, manned by three men at e vho will be so posted as to discharge their pic yass them to the rear to be re-loaded while ‘ivy discharge others, thus keeping up an incessant fire upon their assailants. On the west angle is a hot-shot furnace, capable of heating 50 balls every thirty minutes. At each corner of the tower is a guerry with loop-holes for musketry, and floor-traps for hand grenades, &c. The tower communicates to the out-works by meansoftwo draw-bridges hoist- ed and lowered with chains. The interior of the tower is most elaborately finished, and, although under ground, forms as comfortable quarters both for officers and men as could be desired. Within the works are two resources for water, one by means of a well of spring water, and the other from a reservoir, into which all the rain that falls upon the work is drained, after being thoroughly filtered in its passage meget ip the earth covering the arches of the tower. All that éan be seen at a distance of ten yards from this impregnable fort, is about thirteen feet of the top of the tower con- taining the four gun battery, and the ra of breast-high wall. This litle hornet’s nest will render the fleet of John Bull and his navy-yard at Chippewa entirely worthless, as not one of the steamers or sailing craft could ever pass into the lake without being completely riddled. This im- portant work was commenced about three years by Capt. W. D, Frazer, who was afterwards relieved by Lieut. J. H. Trapier—the mechanical and architectural department being under the di- rection of George Phillips, Esq. The whole work, including 16 acres of ground and a dwelling, did not cost over $85,000." ie Most of the steamboats navigating Lakes Erie and Michigan could be easily converted into war steamers. One ofthem, the St. Louis, Capt. G. W. Floyd, would be a math for the best Br vessel on the lakes. Speaking of Capt. Floyd, he has just about one of the nicest boats that runs to Chicago—sets a table fit for an emperor—spins a good yarn, and has a private scuttle to his state- room, so that, in case of accident, he can sprin; out of bed upon deck, without waiting for his sil- ver shoe-buckles.

On stopping gt the various stations, the inquisitive would gather round at a respect. ful distance, to inspect the wonderful animal, when suddenly a puff of the steam whistle would scatter men, women and children to the four points of the compass, fully convinced that nothing earthly can breathe in that style. Superstition went so far as to threaten at one time a disturbance— the idea spread amongst the peasants that to pro- pel the engine a human spirit was required, and at the beginning of each trip a man was put into the locomotive, whose soul took it to its place of destination—the effort, however, was supposed to be so great as to result in death, requiring a hamen being for each trip ; this idea seemed the refinement of cruelty to the poor peasants, who were about to demand a cessation of hostilities inst the human race, when they were con- vinced of their error by the fact that their priests and confessors also travelled the same eal One of the engineers informed me that several of the wandering Capuchin Monks, who are to be found in every part of the country, had applied for per- mission to go with the train free of expense, on the ground that it would satisfy the people that there is no danger.

It appears that once upon a time his Majesty condescended to be in Cilly, andin compliment to the coat of fashionable cut, the hat and boot of Pa: n outline, the visiter from the capital is always shown to the apart- ment that he deigned to occupy. Its internal ar- rangement is antique thougu comfortable, and the view of the old tile roofs from the window, the provincial appearance ofthe inhabitants, and the peculiarity of costume, are well calculated to in- duce reflection while reposing from the journey ofaday.

Tofind any points of similitude between the laboring classes in this country, and the same classesin the United States, is rather a difficult task. Here they form a distinct cast, devoid of independence, devoid of energy, and not aware of possessing any other right than that of being hewers of wood and drawers of water for their more lucky fellows, The compensation is mise- rably smail—railroad laborers are well paid with 25 cents per day, and women, who perform the more drudging and menial portion of the labor, receive about 15 cents per day. Turnpike roads are generally kept in repair by women, who break the stone and mend the road, for about 8 cents perday. It is true, the expenses of living are not so great, as the expenses of the same class with us; but as far as my experience 8, it is merely because they live more meanly—the necessaries of life are in generee but little cheaper —and what is considered indispensible to a labor- ing man in the United States, is the greatest luxu- ere, The general fare piece of rye-bread rc breakfast; for dinner, a soup about as sub- stantial as a mixture of warm water and salt, a boiled sau and rye-bread ; in the evening |theie frugal meal is solaced by the com- | pany of beer, which is used in excess to the exclusion of tea and coffee.

This feeling shows itself in the very streets of the large cities, where the lower classes not unfrequently meet and quarrel. But the Sclavonians have a language of their own, and the conduct of their oppressors has rendered their attachment to it more close ; they are cultivating Sclavonian literature, end pub- lishing Sclavonian journals. Great eflorts are being made to connect all the Sclavonian tribes into one band ot literary brotherhood, and no uifling progress has been made, considering the fact that every literary effort among these peo- ple must be confined to a favored few—the vast mass having no idea of cultivation. The Bohe- mians have caught the infection, and~are now unfurling to the breeze a banner which bas long mouldered in its fo'ds; in Prague, the capital, clubs and societies have been formed in which it is forbidden to speak any other language than the Bohemian ; journals and works are published in the language, and there is a strong bohemian party. It will be remembered that all these move- ment ‘ing place in countries which are un- der one rmment, and that, German, the Aus- trian. ese agitations are very Babel-like, and the question is becoming a serious one, as to whether they will not be Babel-like in their re- sults to Austria, and disperse her children to the four winds of heaven. — Belgium is also exerting every nerve to bring her long ho cote language into vogue again, and banish the French. The Flemish has been much cultivated within a few years, and its vo- taries seem to possess a zeal which amounts al- most to persecution—many individuals Mine | been rejected by public ain ted deprive of their p.aces on account of being unacquainted with the Fleraish. 7 The most popular Flemish author of the day is Conscience, and several of his works have been translated into the Bohemian.
