“ WATERING PLACES. ne Our Fashionehi. Correspondence. Corumpra Hoss, : Care Mar, July 25, 1851. } ‘Trip to Cape Island—Cronods—Bathing—Hops— Life at Cape Island—The Grand Fumcy Dress Ball, ete. { left the city on Wednesday evening, on board the steamer Penobscot, from the foot of Cedar street. We had a magnificent sail from Now York to Cape Island, which we made in about fifteon hhours after leaving the wharf in the city. There Js no means of landing passe agers fram the steam- ers on the seaward side of the Cape, and hence the boats are obliged to double Cape May, and come toatapier onthe Delaware side, some two miles from the town. From the pier to the village a good turnpike road affords an agreeable carriage way, ‘over which passengers are whirled at twenty-five cente per head, to whichever hotel they may elest as their place of abode. (n eutozing the town, tho Gret thing which struck me as remarkable, was the immense crowds of people that presented them- selves to the view atevery turn. Nota hotel, not a cottage, not a saloon—hardly a habitation of any kind—but had a crowd congregated about the doors; and, as far as the eye could penetrate, the rooms of the various tenements appeared to be cor- zespondingly full. This appearance of repletion was fully verified when we arrived at the hotels. A number of our company wore old travollers, and ence we knew how to content ourselves with the evils of the instant, in order to secure prospective comforts ; we, therefore, with seoming contentod- ess, awaited the time when a vacancy should oc- ur, end meantime, consented to occupy a side par- or in which only three beds were at the time mado m@pfor temporary use; being thus domiciled, we awaited the time when departing tenants should yield to us their rooms. Our companions, who could Not at first think of making any compromise with discomfort, wont about the town seeking for imme- diate and satisfactory accomm sdatioas; but wo af- terwards had an opportunity to congratulate our- welves Om our superior sagacity, wheu they returned iF an unsuccessful attempt to find more comforia- ble quarters. The truth is, that Cape May is more than full; the measure is hoaped up. Have you Rot seen bees when about toswarm, when the fami- dy of young industrials have congregated about the a@ppertures of tho hive, just ready to make their exodus ? Of course you have ‘ell, just 80 looks Cape May at preseat; and when one seve tho crowds that congregate at the doors, aud on the porches, he involuntarily looks for the means of conveyance by which they are to make their exit. Bat they do not Bo, and, although there is already such an over population, the cry is still they come ; and, indeed, come they do. Cottages far distant from the ho- tela are brought into requisition; beds are multi- plied in small rooms, to the utmost oxtent of the Occupant’s good nature; parlors that can be dis- pensed with, are brought into use as sleeping apart- monte, and all the appliances, ordinary cm xtra- are used to make capacity more capa- cious. fact, if one did not consent to exercise a fe of charity and benevolence, he would be led to mako the acknowledgment that the town is too rom for comfort. chaste a bs not do sige assertion wu aud bonce we wi i, hint at tho thing. : iohtee aa | To live at Cape May, and not to bathe at regular hours, would be like going to the opera and play- ing a game of chess or buckgammon while the per- formance was on. The bath of the morning, the state of the tide, surf, temperature, are all topics of conversation ing the afternoon; and to confess ignorance of these isto be set down as blameably negligent or culpably uuwire. ‘ What, 7 say you did not bathe! hy, pray, what did you do with your morning 1” would bo the most likely re- joinder to a confession of not baving bathed at the regular hour. a ile ‘ or m; confe is to & pat ity for an ear! bath, fo pe a with pad nto Pething shire, or hat; and such an one isto be had here at very early hours in the morning, at a rospectable dis tance from the hotels. Tne regular bathing hour for those who wish to evjoy such a bath, is only from 4 to 5 o'clock A. After tnis timo, the bathing day is divided as follows :—The ladies have from 6 to 7 o’clock, and from 104 to 115 A. M., and from 4to5 1’. M. ; the gentiomen have the grounds from 114 to 124 in the moruing, and from 6 to 6 in the afternoon. But the great display is in the morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, at which time the hotels turn out nearly sli their lodgers to wash themeetves in the surf. Carriages of all kinds are br ht inte requisition to ovnvey bathers from their hotela to the shore, and hundreds of pedes- trians, clad in all sorts of indescribable costumes, may be seon making their way through the various avenues leading to the grounds. When all are as- sembled, such a motley crew are there as no other region, celestial, terrestrial, or infernal, can be ex- pected to produce. They court, not by dozons, woores, or hundreds, but actaully number thou- sands, of both sexes and of all » from the infant in arms to veterans with silver locks. ‘There a tall, lank, dyspeptic looking bo- ing, who is known to be of tne masculine — der, uot from his dress, but because he has a beard wy his chin; and close following in his wake is a stout dowage:, waddling along at cost of most arduous exertion—presently they reach the surf, and their individual ty is lost as they mingle with thousands who are there before them ; tender parents bear thei ‘ious burthens of in- fancy in their arms, and invalid hamanity calls robust humanity te assist in tho sanatory opsration; lads and misses, belles and beauxJoin in festivities, and make the bath an inetuwent of vast diversion, while pe pas and mamas are too mugh engaged them- selves to keep a very severe eye on youthful hilarity. All the colors of a painter's pallet are reprosented by the dresses, while the white surf, dashing con- tinually in thoir midst, gives vo the waves ap- arance of actuallife, andthe wh lcture is as Mold ocean had come on & #ammer’s day to have a play opel with the mortals of Cape Island. No one thinks of making ongagoments between the batting and dinning hows. The interim ts lounged away by the geutlemen till the first boll give notice that it ie time to prepare for dinuer, at two o'clock. ‘The ladies probable lounge also’ in their rooms—at any.rate nothing is seon of them till they appear attable or on their way thither. Dinner consumes but little more than an hour, and the remainder of the day is devoted, for the most part, to carriage riding. There are quite apnumber of pleasaut drives ia the vicinity, and always plenty of vehioles to be bad for hire. The evening is devoted to drawing-10om conversation, dancing, or entertainments which may present themeeives in the way of concerts, &e ‘ehada hop at this house last evening. lt was a fine affair, though by no means dressy. We bave an oxcelleat band? which playe at divmer time, and which, when occasion requires, forms an exvelieut orohestra for dancing purposes. ‘There wore presoat last oveaing some ‘Aid acqonintances in the fashionable world, among whom shone conspicuously the Misses Ald- rige, cf Baltimore. The dancing was kept up till near midnight, but not veyoud that hour. To- night there # to be a Bop at the Macsion House. And thus it gocr—sometiues at one house, and sometimes at another. There ie no want of oppor: tunity for those fond of dancing to enjoy their fa- vorite amurement. In short, there is ne lack of healthful recreation at Cape May. Bowlin; Ddilliard rooms, and shooting gallenes, are here in abundance, and are well patrouned too. So wo are, as you will see, no iule people; for, what with bathing, bowling, oarri «ge riding, dining, and dans ing, there are no lost bours.

Tho ovrt of | Muwronr, July 27, 1851. The Expecteh Arrival of Mr. Webster, Gen. Scott, Messrs. Cass cms Wonthrop— Cases before Judge Woodbury, &c. Tho season has now commencod in full earnest, and the hotels are boginning to be uncomfortably crowded. It was with difficulty proper appartmonts were secured for the Hon. Daniel Webster at the Bellevue. Mrs. Fillmore wad daughter have given up the notion of coming here, aud General Scott has no idea “to be made a ahow of,” as he calls it, in a New England watering place. He has gone down to his headquarters at Washington, where he will stay till the country is out of danger—that is, till the whig convention shall have nominated a candidate forthe Presidency. ‘The general who, at one timo, was not only the firet in arms, but also in epistolary literature, has not only given up lottor writing, but will not even trust himself in couversa. tion. He avoids all mixed company that might havea tendency to draw him out, or afford scope for other letter writers. If the world was as- tonished at his conquests in Mexico, it may now admire his skillful retreat, and perhaps realize the golden maxim, that “ discretion is the better part of valor.” Messrs. Crittenden and Winthrop have had many agreeable rendezvous and téted-tées; but, as yet, nothing is decided. Crittenden has not yet made up his mind, whother he shall come into the Scott ar- rangement; and Winthrop, notwithstanding all that is said and dono, will have a hard road to travel over to become Governor of Massachusetts. I doubt whether he will get the nomination; but if he is nominated, the coalition will continuo, and the coalitionists have strong hopes to keep the power which they have so recently acquired. Mr. Charles Sumner has been here, and will return here again in a few days. I doubt whother his mind 3 fully made up on the subject of free soilism ; at all events he scouts the idea of being an abolitionist. If ho could be thoroughly Ameri- canized, made to care less for the opinion of Euro- peans than for those of his own countrymen, there is stuff enough in him to effect a regeneration. At present he is eng: in the thankless task of prov. ing, from the ‘* Life of Chief Justice Story,” now in press, that the Yankee judgo was an itionist. What of that? If Justice Story were now alive, he would consider the slavery question as settled, and the compromise as a fait accompli ; in the same manner as Calhoun, were he among the living, would most solemnly protest agains separate State's action in South Carolina. It isa remarkable fact in politics and religion, that the ter the founder of a sect, the poorer are his disciples—a truth to which even Christianity makes no particular excep- tion. In this State, small as it is, parties are oor up into a number of fragmonts—the democrats inolin- ing Orwesee Judge Douglass, and the whigs grav!- tating towards Webster, with a sprinkling of all sorts of isms in tho bargain. Politics enter even into the administration of justice, and it is a rare ease for a Khode Island jary to agree on a verdict. Dorrites and anti-Dorrites, bins a democrats and free soilers, help to defeat the ends of justice. We had two important cases tried before Chief Justice Woodbury, and the jury gave, in one case, a verdict which the judge will set aside, while e other the jury could not agree at all. The latter, refer- ring to an important patent case, I will attempt to Sar ee Corhss, Nightingale § Co.—U. ec. lames v3. ass, Nightin, 0.—-U, S.C C., D. R. 1, Ne — This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as assigaee, for tho in- fringement of letters patent granted to I'rederick E. Sickles, on the 26th May, 1842, for improvements is drop cut off valves of steam engines, The object of the invention is to drop the steam valve at any desired part of the etroke of the piston of the engine, to stop the flow of steam from the boiler, so thatthe steam may act expansively in the eylinder, and thus economise fuel ‘two things are claimed in the patent. First, the combination of the mechanism by which the steam valves soy eg liberated at any part of the stroke, in order that it may be suddenly closed by gravity ; and second, in tho employment of what 4 termed a dash pot, to arrest the valve toward the end of its downward motion, to prevent injury from the sudden contact of the party, at the instant of pom | the valves. This is done by a plunger con- nected with the valves, which plunger moves ina veasel of water or other fluids; the vossel being so formed thet during the main part of the descent of the valve, the water flows freely round the plungor to present but little obstruction to the descent of the valve, and at, or near the end of the motion, the flow of water or other fluid is checked, to stop the valve by an easy motion. This inve: i very extensively used in largo engines, especially in ships, as was proved Mg moray in the U. 38. and especially by Mr. Hazlitt, U. S. Engineer. The defendants set up in their defence that the invention was not new and original with Sickles, the patentee, and that the apparatus employed by them was no infringement. The first point—want of originality—was aban- doned by the defendants in the closing argument; but the other was adhered to. The defendants urged that they did not infringe, because thoy use rotating instead of poppet val ves—have a different arrangement of machinery to effect the liberation of the valve, so that it may be closed by the force of a descending weight. And, on the other hand, the plaintiff urged that ~~ did infringe ; because the patent was not limit- ed in law to the use of poppet valves, but that any kind of valve could be used, and that the substitu- tion of one well-known kind of valve for another did not avoid the patent, so long as the valve closed suddenly by a weight or spring. ‘That the libera- tion of the valve by a combination of mechanical devices, performirg the same functions in substan- tially the same way, by the stitution of mecha- nical equivalents, was an infraction of the nt. The patent was for the combination, not for the mechanical device; and that, without such con- struction of the law, no patent would be th taking, a# every machinist is competent to iti tute for the original combination, others effecting the same purpose And the defendants urged, on the second point, that they did not infringe, for the reason that they did not use water to check the motion of the valve, at the end of its motion, and did not uzo a vessel of the eame form. But tho plaintiff urged that the form of the vos- eel and the kind of flaid used was not material, #0 long as it permitced the valve to desoond rapidly dang the main part of ite motion, and morely checked it at the end of its descent, to prevent in jury. . The cnuse waa opened, on part of the plaintiff, by Mr. EN. Dickinson, of New Jersey; o# the part of the defendants, by Gioneral Amos, of Provi- denee, hi. 1. ‘And, after the evidence was argued by Mr. B.

In the meantime, flesey clouds, which seomed to be the forormnners of a hurricane, went flying over the valley, while the dark eulion mass in the background, moved along with stately and impcsing majesty, rising ‘n all directions, and yet bound together by somo cohering power until the black shadow had crept own tbo castern mountain ride and was rapidly moving song the valley.

Next the weoping willows, along ¢ Lebanon trout stream, (which C.

By this time tho grad balcony on the southwestern froat of Colum- ia Hall, was crowded with guests, who had come | wut to witness the magnificent scene enacting below.

Tho sun came out from behind this awful spectacle, and smiled on the path of che storm as it marohed on over the mount At was a glorious sunset, and the contrast betwoen the dying day- light on the western hills, and the ragings of the tempest over the mountains to the northeast, whore it struggled with the hoary head of Grey Look, and the White mountains, constituted one of the riches: and most imposing spectacles I have ever beheld.

AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. Our French Correspondence, Panis, Jaly 10, 1851. The Gossip of Paris— Amusements—The Fourth of Suly— Theatricals, §¢ It is a decided fact, that ballooning and inaugu™ rating statues are now “all tho go” in France, Daring the time of the low empire of the Romans. these degenerated people did only care for Ranem and Circenses—seme bread and many theatrica! displays. I may say, that we I’renchmen are about following the same plan, and cultivating the same feelings. Whilst our country isin such a terrible state of anxiety about the unsettled state of our political poeition—at the eve of the struggle for the revision of the constitution, we are, for the moat part, as careless and thoughtless as were the Ko- mans at their epoch. Well, these philosophical remarks once made, let us proceed in our reportorial duty. Paris has been exocedingly gay during the last week. Tho fineness of the woather has been vory favorable to the theatres, which have been as thronged as the public gardens. Everywhere our countrymen of the United States have followed the flying pleasures, and bad fun for their money. On Tuosday last, at the Grand Féte de Nuit, givon in Mabille’s garden, the alleys, dancing floor and sofas of the place were encumborod by these amateurs of a sight of the elophant. At St. Germain, on Sun- day last, the railway took an immense number of these froemen to tho opening of the Arinos, a mammoth circus, built like the Hippodrome, where the entertainments are like those of the Parisian arena. The improvement of this new place of amusement is the admirable view which is to be had from the outside baloony of the Arénes, from which all the city of Paris, and the neighboring villages and country, aro to be goon. I am certain that this place of amusoment will soon become one of the favorite resorts of the Parisian population. Several ascensions in balloons have also taken lace, cither at the Hippedrome or the Champ de jars—the first by M. Godan, the second by M. Portevin. On Sunday last, this gentloman took in the car of his balloon six of the Arabs who are on- gaged by M. Fraxconi, and two gentlemen, his riends.

A fomse had been built in consequence, in the middle of the Chemp de Mars; but Mr. Phillips was de- tained in London, and the experiment was post- poned to another early occasion. ‘The plac of the grand festival of which so much has been said in the press of Paris and France, which was to last eight di and take place eithor in Paris or at Versailles, Cloud and St. Ger- main, bas been accepted by the Minister of the In- terior, and will begin at the ond of August next. 2,000 musicians willbe engaged for the ovcasion- @ procession gf the agriculture and hortioulture— coremonp © Pantheon—the performance of a grand opera, written by Mery and Lacombe—a magnificent display of firowor! ing i grandoise, and will coat 1,500,000 fr: that such a fesijval, ons largo seal to Paris an isnmeneo numbor of strauge: Horeanoplace and Regalos kavo invonted the plan and are now urging its execution.

H. Jt. was very negligent about the fashions, or that he had entirely forgotten the fair sex. ‘This was not the cuse ; if, since my last arti- cle on the modes, (about three months ago,) I have not again discussed this “important” ques- tion, it is that I had not changes enough to mention, to write anything worth being published. The unusual épring and summer which we have ex- perienced, with an unsettled state of weather, tho unusual inclemency of the seasons—everything, has been the cause of a sort of “steadiness” in tho fashionable market. But now that we have fully entered the ‘‘warm summer,” the elegant Parisian ladies have shown their pretty toilets, and I must not hesitate for « single moment to transmit an official report of what I have seen, to my fair readers of the United States. Let me begin with the head dress, the most im- portant part of the fomale costume. The straw bonnets are still much in favor, but they aro no longer made plainly with straw, as in former timos; a straw bonnet is now made up with bands of hair, or stripes of flowered silk, or worsted ribbons, or fringes. The straw is not only plain, but often it is worked into the most skilful design. Ornamental flowers and knots of all kinds are worn with the ar- eet and this mélange of rich goods is indeed very asty. Hair bonnets, as white a3 alabastar, plain, and only ornamented with a whi atin ribbon, trim- med with blonde, and valenciennes, are as re- cherché ag possible. The newest article of the kind thus composed of a sort of nct made up with ds of white bair, and adorned with embrei- derios and piak chenille, which are placed in the cen- tre of the empty squares. Tho inside is trimmed with pink pene. or silk; the ribbon, of which the beau andthe bridles are formed, are also pink. Many tlowers, of assorted colors, aro put under and above the bonnet. Another charming bonnet is that called Capéline. It consists of large pieces of silk, twisted up with gauro, and trimmed on the edge with velvet mbbons of a very narrow pattern; two equal bunches of flowers are put on each side, aud large tufts of small ribben are attached by the sides of the temples. ‘Tho more fashionable flower, this year, is the wild poppy, though the red color renders it, for some porsons, # political standard, which renders — ablo the bluebottle and tho lillies of the valley. The dresses aro still made with six ranges of flowers, and the boddice is still cut in the shape of those of the time of Louis XV.; the sleeves large, and trimmed with smalll flowers of ribbon, well as round thoneck and bowm. As for the goods which the most fashionable ladies have chosen for the season, they are, first, the chiné silk; tecond, the printed foulards; third, the poplin, with striped colors; fourth, the Scotch plaids of all patterns and colors; fifth, tho gauze Cy sixth, last, not the least, in my opinion, thy le over-dresses, which are trimmed with ribbons, and produce the most admirable effect. There are, also, many other sorts and varicties of the above-namod goods, which are called by the “Pecks” and “Stewarts” of Paris, bareges, renadines, and these goods are covered with gar- lands of flowers—designs of all patterns, which, to be described, would render necessary more than the entire shect ef your double edition. ‘The country costumes, which are used at the the watering places, sea shores, and chateaux of re made of woollen coutils a dispositions, tripes on the front and on the edges of ton, linen, and silk govds are also the dress. much in favor. ‘These morning dresses are made in two parts— the first being a skirt fixed with hooks to the waist, and the recond being a sort of small overcoat, but- toned in front, and Bently falling upon the hips. Some of theee caracos aie in the Turkish style, come others look like a gentleman's overcoat, but all of them are trimmed with small flowers, which ronder them very graceful. ‘The linen is, now-a-days, one of the most elegant parte of a lady’s toilet, and the firm of Bertior _ fue Rivheliou) has the best assortment of the There is one of the most admirable show enece I over bebeld, containing the ne plus wira of chomisettes, eleeves, cauezons, shirts, cups, and aleo the (ayette (child bed linen) of the last son of the Queen of Spain.

Its trimming was mado of efilé, and ornamented aad embroidered with silk.

Her royal patron has been so much pleased with this detormination, that he has restored a large portion of the income which he formerly declived to pay. The work of demolition of the old houses that intercepted the view between the Louvre and the Tuilleries goes on with wonderful rapidity; bu whilst the man of taste is giatified, the antiquariag is mortified; for all those memorable spots with, which are associated the most remarkable events of Paris are eee & complete alteration. Ne longer are the droad{el horrors of tho massacre of St. Bartholomew to be traced nor are the vest ag 5 of the marked catastrophes of the days of Home ry 1V., Louis XIIL, and his successor, allowed te ree main. The eame may be said of the Hotel de Ville; already are effaced many of the notoriegg scenes of the revolution. Paris is, however, rendere ed healthier, more secure, and certaialy, as a city, much more striking in appearance.
