7 The short stay at this port of the last British steamer from Bermuda, caused mu:h annoyance to the commercial publie, especially to tha’ portion interested or connected in business with the West India Possessions, South America, &c. Thatves- sel, (which was due here on the Ltn) arrived at 104 o’clock on the morning of the 13th inst., and her mails closed at 2 P. M. of the same day ; 80 that it was eearcely known that she was here be- fore she had leftagain. Such species ot communi- tion is worth very little toa commercial city like New York, and is scarcely of any service unde the present arrangement, as twenty-four hours is the outside limit for the R. W. Eeteanstis to re- main here after arriva!, and if they bring freight it must be received in twelve hours, though the ves- sel never comes nearer to the city than off the Bat- tery, according to contract, Another disadvaa- tage by this line, is the enormous retaliatory post- age charged on letters and newspapers, which nearly amounts to a probibition, except in very urgent cases, of correspondents availing themselves ot this mode of communication. And last, though not least, is the very exorbitant amouat charged by the company for a passage from this place to Bermuda, and vice versa, viz: £10 sterling, nearly three times the sum usually charged in good sail- ing veesels, which regularly trade to this port from muda. R Now, 1 am of opinion that it would be to the ad- vantuge of some of the cupitalists here to start a smail steamer, say about 5 or 600 tons, to ply be- tween New York, Bermuda, Porto Rico and St. Thomas—leaving New York tor Bermuda, thence to Porto Rico and St. Thomas, and back by the game route—making Bermuda the first and last jace of arrival and departure from and to New ork. Such an arrangement would plaice com- munication on a broad footing, independent of the West India steamers, as this line hastwo steamers each month at Bermuda, where they receive and deliver mails for all parts ot the world, by which mails and passengers could be forwarded. Besides, another advantage would be gained by such steam communication, if the price of passage were made about $20 to and trom Bermuda, Porto Rico and St. Thomas. This low price would induce all who travel from Bermuda, Xc., to take the steamer in preference to a sailing vessel, (and a great many eome to this city every year from Bermuda,) and it would invite persons from this place to make a trip to Bermuda occasionally—the distance being very chort—less than 700 miles—which is often iormed by sailing vessels in four or five days— Bat a steamer would not average more than three days ; and were such conveyance established, in- valid and others, who Frequently go to Havana, &c., to escape the winter of America, would go to Bermuda in preference, which 1s several miles nearer, : The climate of Bermuda 1s considered to be one of the best, if not the very best in the world ; and to persons affected with consumptive symptoms, there is no place equal to it. Frost, snow, or ice is quite unknown there; and so mild is the winter that it 18 more like the fall of northern climates than winter atall. Tne scenery is very handsome, the houses are built of native sand stone, and gen- erally white-washed, which gives them the appear- ance of blocks of ice, contrasted with the ever- green cedar, with which the island is covered. No stranger ever yet visited Bermuda, but has been delighted with its scenery and temperature. Much mre might be said in favor of ‘this delightful spot, situated in the middie of the Atiantic, put this wul suffice for the present. 1 would add that a trip there would be sufficient to convince any one ot the correctness of these remarks. i Should the enterprise of any of the citizens of this place, induce them to try the experiment of a steamer on the proposed route, I would further state, that it would be necessary, in order to carry out the scheme successfully, for the. accommod: tion of persons visiting Bermuda, either on plea- sure, or in search of health, thata suitable hotel should be erected there, of sufficient size to accom- modute from 50 to 100 persons, with such rooms as they may require. At present, there are two small hotels in Hamilion, the metropolis ; but neither of these are at all calculated to afford such accommo- dation to strangers as they would require ; 1n fact, they are litle better than the eating houses of this ty. x A very suit: place forthe erection of a hotel, may be purchased in Hamilton, Bermuda, for about $15,000. ‘This spot is about one acre of land, sur- rounded by water, where may be attached to the hotel, excellent bathing houses of sea water; it adjoins the business part of the city, and is the mae place suitable for such purpose. It would be advisable, should this plan be adopted, that the ho- tel should be constructed and prepared in this, or some neighboring place, of wood, which might be transported to Bermuda ready for erection, ata smail cost, compared with the expense of building a house there of the native stone. And there should be some well-known American employed, or interested in the hotel, im order to ensure to travellers, who may-go thither, that they will fiad all the comtorts of ahome. But, the first thing to be done, 1s to secure the place and erection of she hotel, for it would be useless to start a steamer, until that was fixed. Another advantage that would accrue to this city, by having a steamer running regularly to Bermu- da, is, that the markets here could be supplied with new potatoes, onions, peas, turnips, carrots, &c., and, in fact, with all kinds of vegetables, and many kinds ot fruit, at least three months in ad- vance of any other market. And from Porto Rico and St. Thomas§ sige quantities of oranges and other fruits may be obtained in fine order, at sea- sons when they could not be had elsewhere. The writer of this sketch is snabled to testify to the validity of what he has advanced, from per- sonal knowledge, and he may at some future time allude to these subjects again. He hopes, how- ever, that those who may read what is here ad- vanced, will reflect on the subject, and give their views more ably and fully to the public. In the meantime, he would be gladjto communicate, per- sonally, any other information in his power, to those who may desire it. Religious Intelligence. CarenpaR.

Ciara: On THE Rep ann White Roses—from the German of Von Schmid, Edward Dunnigan & Brother, 151 Fulton street.—This is the most interesting, inao- cent and instructive tale that we have perused fora long time. The extent towhich the world has been inundated with trarhy French novels, and “publica- tions of an immoral tendency, has made books of this class a great desideratum. How very few modern writers could tay with the noble Cervantes, “I would rather my right hand was burned off than that asingle line I have ever written could sully the pure thonghts of innocence.” This German writer has eschewed the example of the French and English, and bas taken the Spanish and Portuguese for his models, and any one who perures his highly interesting tales will have satisfactory evidence that the portraiture of innocence and purity hes more irresistible charms than the most higbly colored delineations of vice and dissipation. ‘This little work must have an immense run with the young.

Exie railroad; (new) fell off 34 per cent ; and Canton advanced 3s. The greatest excitement existed to learn the nature of the news, and the Herald was sought after with the utmost avidity. The news does not amount to any thing, either politically or commercially. No change had taken placain Irish affairs, and the markets con- tinued in a very quiet, inactive state. ‘The amount of duties colleeted at this port for the past week was $510,206 45. Tho lake receipts of breadstuffs at Buffalo, for the third week in August, were 15,267 bbls, flour ; 44,613 bushels wheat ; and 84,548 bushels corn. No barley or rye.

The receipts of the Hartford and New Haven Rail- road for July exceeded $33,000—a larger sum than was ever received from the business of any previous month since its completion. This is at the rate of $400,000 perannum. The receipts of the present month, thus far, promise to exceed thoso of July. Including the net profits of their steamboats, the July receipts wore $41,000. Last year $28,000. A gold mine has recently been discovered near Ham- burg, S.C. Since January last six hands have pro- duced twelve hundred dwts. This mice must be of immense value, as it covers an area of about forty acres, and yields an average of 20 cents to every bush- el of earth, and lies adjacent to plenty of water for washing. This deposit of the precious metal appears to differ from most mines, the mineral is found regu_ larly interspersed through the earth, from the surface to the depth of thirty feet, this being tho greatest dopth yet penetrated.

The army has not yet settled down into the peace establishment, and it will be some weeks before all the quivering fragments disappear. An- terior to the war with Mexico, General Gaines was the superior officer of Col. Z. Taylor, and had charge of the Southern or western division. Now, General Taylor not only outranks General Gaines, but occupies the station. General Wool, having returned to the North, finds General Gaines in pos- session of the Eastern division, It is not yet de- termined at the War Department what shall be done with the surplus Generals, and how the res- pective commands shall be arranged. It is known that Generals Scott and Gaines are atenmity. General Scott has no direct official n- tercourse with him, nor does he have any with General Scott. All orders relative to the army must come to and go trom the ** Head Quarters.” ‘This rule it is imperative to observe ; but General Games and General Scott transmit to and from one another under cover ot “the Secretary of War.” This isa halt-way house, and the arrangement is perfectly satisfactory to the two great soldiers con- cermed. N : rvs General Scott, it is probable, will make Elizabethtown the “head quarters.” He does not care about being in the same building hene at Washington with Governor Marcy, as he and that gentlersan have not yet patched up the breach be- tween them; nor is it known whether they have even seen each other since the General’s return from Mexico. Certain it 18, Scott did not imme- diately call upon the Secretary. A young gentleman, a few days ago, being ena- mored of a highly respectable young lady, made her a present of a ring, which she gladly accept- Le seemed to say, while holding her hand in his:— “ Look, how this ring eneompasseth thy finger; Even so thy breast encloseth my poor heart ; ‘Wear both of them, for both of them are thine, And if thy poor devoted servant may But beg one favor at thy gracious hand, ‘Thou dort confirm his happiness forever.” The father of the lady was indignant when he heard of the intimacy which existed between, and, obtaining posseesion of the ring, returned it to the donor, with a message that if he again found him n his premises, he would “shoot him!” This jarmed the lover, and away he ran to a magis- trate, almost inghtened to death, and swore that his life was in danger from the aforesaid parent. Distinguished counsel were engaged, an investiga- tion took place, and reeulted in binding over the father to keep the peace. Tne cowardly “ ringer- in” is not worthy of a wife—‘ none but the brave deserve the fair” Talking about love in Wash- ington, an officer of the government, occupying @ high place, severely whipped his daughter for an aflair of the heart, which the poor thing could not help. Her cries alarmed the neighbors, and ex- cited much commiseration in her behalt,and con- tempt for the merciless father. Ihave been informed that between three and five hundred passports have recently been prepared at the State Department, for persons who are on the eve of returning to England and Ireland. One man had upwards ef py of them in his posses- sion last nigkt, for his friends They are to be sent, principally, to New York. A few of the dis- charged soldiers are going over the ocean, to take the tour of Ireland, tor the benefit of their health ! Some ot our Irish citizens are stowing away pota- toes for the voyage. The British Consul need not be alarmed, as there is no evidence of bellicose in- tentions. Faux. Baurimore, Avgust 26, 1848. Honors to the Remains of Captain Mason—A Poisoning Case-——Ship Launch—Commerce, §c, The remains of Captain Stevens T. Mason, who lost his life at the battle of Vera Cruz, were yes- terday removed from Fort McHenry, where they had been deposited for some time, under escort of the Independent Blues, to the railroad depot, and this morning they start for his former home, Lees, burg, Va., where, as a private citizen, he was es, teemed and respected beyond all bounds. Exten_ sive arrangements have been made at Leesburg to do public honors to the memory, character, and services of the gallant dead. A sailor, named John Murray, on Thursday night, stopped in at one of the dens of infamy on the Causeway, and was induced to drink some li- quor, shertly after which he detected one of the girls attempting to rob him, when he eseaped into the street, and was immediately taken very . He was taken home, and medical aid called in, evincing all the symptoms ot having been poison- ed, from which he ‘died yesterday morning. The girls have been arrested, and there seems to be no doubt that lhe was drugged, to enable them to rob him with more facility. A splendid packet bark, called the Bllen M. Hollingsworth, will be launched this afternoon from the ship yard of Messrs, Foster & Booz.— She 1s intended to run as a regular packet between Boston and Matanzas. A challenge for mortal combat having passed between Captains Bernard and Edwardy, of the Voltiguer regiment, now encamped at Fort McHenry, they were both arrested yesterday, and gave bail to keep the peace. Foolish tellowa, after escaping Mexican bullets, to think of makui themselves targets for bullets to penetrate, wise men to laugh at.

Mr. William Abbott, the new harbor master, appointed by Governor Johnston to suceeed Gene+ ral Roumfort, entered upon his duties yesterday morning. Capt.

Monday will be an exciting day among the poli- tcians of the democratic stamp ; and from the ill- repressed grumblings of a large portion of the party who have already got an insight inté the practices that have been resorted to, in order to secure the nomination for those agreed upon in caucus, warrant the belief that a grand row will tuke place of these underhand meagufes are saceess “INTELLIGENCE: bY MAE
