The Seascn at Sharon—Guests at the Pavilion— Recreatiin—The Hotd—The Spring—The At- This agreeable summer retreat, which never wants for patrons, is, as usual, the resort of a large number of wealthy and respectable citizens, from New York, Boston and the South. The hotel proper is full, and the adjacent building, known as Bachelor’s Hall, has, within the last day or two, received quite a number of tenants. Messrs. Gardner & Joslin, the proprietors of the Pavilion, have been obliged to refuse quite a number of ap- plications for apartments, their large rooms having long since been engaged. This isa sort of home spot for those who visit it. The same faces may be seen from year to year, and the newly arrived are, therefore, nearly always met and welcomed by those who have been their companions on former occasions. The ride from the railroad hither pre- pares one to enter at once upon the enjoyment of the comforts which the establishment affords. The rugged hills, which have to be crossed before ar- riving here, afford just enough of that kind of travel to satisfy, without wearying, the traveller. The distance from Palatine Bridge, the point at which the cars are exchanged for the stage coach, | te this place, is about ten miles, half of which dis- | tance is over a plank read.

Our fashionable season has begun, and the plea- eure hunters of the Quaker City are flocking to their favorite resort. The Island visiters now number about twelve hundred, with a daily acquisition of over three hundred, a continuation of which may be expec'ed to fill the hotels to repletion, to the espe- cial gratification of mine host, and the great delight of those who love to live and flourish in crowds. The improvements which have been made since last seagon, are manifest and manifeld. First on the list is the new turnpike road which has been the time of those unfortunate battles on Lon, Island, which resulted in the evacuation of New York by the Americans, and its occupation by the | he sai British. id chamber is still one of the best rooms, and the most coveted of all in the stately pile which has grown up around the time-honored nucleus. ‘The steamships, ar they make ‘‘their exits and their entrances” at the gate which Fort Hamilton and its companion fortresses guard, i daily objects of notice and interest to ere. Saturdoy, we saw four moving down the bay in City, the Southerner, and the Florida—all Ameri- ean and all New York steamships. Three days after, we saw the Africa and Hermann coming in, and the Niagara going out. One morning recently, seventy sail of vessels camo up the bay, all in full view from this point at once. There is no place where so complete and grand a notion can be fornia of the commercial power of New York as ere. ‘The last five days have brought a large accession of dwellers for the season. ‘The house now contains quite a throng of genteel and fashionable families— the ladies being now a decided majority of the popu- Intion. Professional and business men from the city, finding that they can have their families bere n the enjoyment of all the benefits of country air and sea breezes, and can pass between Fort Hamil- onand Jower Broadway, in less time, and more agreeably, than by omnibus from Fourteenth street to Wall street, are cresecng 9 seouring the advantages of asummer residence here. In afew days more, the tide of city migration will overflow this huge house into the cottages areund, aad thus constructed, under an act of incorporat.vn, from the steamboat landing directly to the island. O | course, everybody considers this improvement an unequivocal luxury; and so it is, comparatively. You may remember that the former route to the ‘sland proper, was early luid out, with the amiable design of passing the door of every farm house, and turnirg the corn field of every landholder in the neighborhood; the road was rough, uneven. and the unruly and misshapen passenger wagons lumbered through the same the whole distance, hub deep, to tho annoyance of visiters in general, the hearty disgust of dyspeptics, and the thorough exclusion from the sea bath of the more serious in- valid, So, you see, everybody has a right to be delighted at the change, and the most extravagant Llessinge are literally dripping over the fortuaate heads ofthe enterprising projectors. Some idea may be bed of the serpentine meandorings of the old road, by the fact that this new one actually | crosses the old one seven times in the present di+ tance of two miles from the landing to the island. Several new and very elegant hotels have beea erected iv the ‘nterval of tho seasons, which will, no doubt, receive a share of the public patronage ; but the private feacy cottages which have spruag up, ore the prettiest, cosiest, and withal, most com- fortable residences imaginable, combining an air of cunning country coquetry and aristrocratic ele- gance.
