ORIGINAL ARTICLES Steam Communication with the Ports of Guatemala. It seems desirable, for the developement and wel- fare of that country, that the steamers belonging to any of the lines running between Panama and San Franciaco, or any other new line, should call periodically, on fixed days, at the port of Iztapan, or rather San José, as the anchorage ia called to which the port has lately been removed. There are grounds to believe that the carrying out of this idea might be advantageous to the coun- try, not only in a commercial point of view, but in many other respects ; whilst the parties undertaking the affair would certainly derive handsome profits, particularly if made extensive to the ports of the other Central American States. In the first p'ace, itis but reasonable to suppose ‘that a great proportion of domestic travellers, who are now compelled to go by land, not having any Belize and New York, or Charleston, oalling at Havana. ‘The following particulars bays ge! the aad towns of Central America, on Pacific , COMO to the point, and will assist in forming a correct ea- timation of the project under consideration. Ban José, in the iblic of Guatemala, ia oon- nected by carriage r with the following towasi— Escuintla, suger growing place, forty-five miles Rikest eee presi see miles, and Aati- % three miles, cochine: wing pieoos ; Baie ck of Guatemala, capitator! thee republio, ninety miles distant. Tbe country’s exports aro cochineal, provisions, coarse woollen manufactures, &e., &c , for a value of nearly two millions. Acajutla, in the State of Salvador, leads to the towns of Sonsonate, eighteen miles distant ; Agua- chapan, forty-eight miles ; Santa Ana, sixty six miles; and other large towns. The district is very well populated, and yields indi , cattle, tobacco, sugar, balsam, provisions, &c., &c. a Libertad, also in Salvador, is the entrance to the city of San Salvador, capital of the State, d tance forty-two miles. The district is rich in ag- ricultural productions. La Union, in the same State, leads to San Miguol, forty:two miles, a town of some importance on ac- count ofitscommerce, mines and agriculture. Indigo, othermeans of conveyance, would certainly prefer, when once steamers were established, to travel by sea, led by the powerful inducements of comfort, cheapness and despatch. It follows, then, that the port of San José would become the rendezvous of a daily increasing crowd of passengers. Tho principal towns of Contral America are on the western slope of the Cordillera, at a small dis- . tance from their respective ports on the Pacific, with which they communicate by stage roads. Considorable internal traffic exists between those towns. It is likewise highly probable that many of the passengers returning from California, and bound fo the Atlantic States or Europe, would be inclined to land at San Jose, and to cross over the territory of Guatemala. This new route offers the advantage, that thé sea voyage on the Pacific is shortened by as many days as ure now required by tho steamors to run from the latitude of San José to Panama. From San José to Guatemala is ninety miles dis- tance. The journey is performed by stages, cver a carriage road, at from $8 to $10 each person ; but this fare would naturally be reduced, in consoquence of the increase of travellers. Between Guatemala and Izabal, (225 miles,) the journey requires from five to six days, and is nade on horses or mulos, at a moderate expense. The road is good, and passes all the way through a heal- thy country, The government of that republic hasin contemplation the construstion of a good carriage road ; and the completion of such an im- provement, might be made the condition of an Sepepmen er contract to be entered into on the premizes. a eeeeiag thas a small steamer, to ply between Tzabal and Bolize is also established, this passage would requireaday more, and it follows, that the entire journey from San José to Belize would be performed in seven or eight days; that is, the same number as (to our knowledge) is now required to travel by steum from the latitude of San José to Panama. From Belize there is a monthly steam convey- ance, and two aby distance, to Kingston (Jamaica,) in spanenion me pe British We nee mail on ets, by which passengers for Europe might pecrree their voyage, whilst those bound for tho Gulf or Atlantic States would take their course di- rect, or by way of Havana, i the now existing lines, either to New Orleans, Charleston or New York as their ultimate destination might happen to be. However, in our opinion, the best plan would be to establish a steamer, trading monthly between Belize and New York, and calling at Havana. By this means the entire trip would amount—from San Francisco to San José, on the Pacific. 7 days. San José to Guatemala, (by land.) a Guatemala to Izabal, (by land,).. 16 « Tzabal to Belize.

The intercourse between Moxico Guatemala will be likewise considerably facilitated and in- creased by the contemplated coastwiso conveyance on the Pacific. Supposing the steamers touch at Acapulco, a passenger starting from the city of Mexico would arrive at Acapulco by stages in five days, from Acapulco to San José threo days, and thence to Guatemala by stage, one daymore. This makes together nine days, instead of forty to fift: days, now required to perform that voyage by land, over very bad roads, and at great expense and in- converience. The intercourse and coastwise trade between Gua- temala and the other Central American States, al- ready considerable, would rapidly increase. The journey to San Salvador might be performed in two or three days, via Acajutla or Libertad; to San Miguel, three or four days, via La Union; to Loon, five days, via Realejo; and to Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, six to seven days. Itis an ini Bgl eas fact, that any facilities in point of safety, speed, comfurt, or cheapness, ten- dered to the travelling public, promote an increase of movement. Attracted by the superior accommo- dations offered them, the public will not limit them- selves to voyages on business only, but many excur- sions on pleasure, for the purpose of visiting the different places of Central America, will take place, as has been the case on the coasts of Chili, Bolivia, and Peru, the owners of which lines havo realized immense profits. The government of Guatemala is prepared to grant every possible advantage and protection to any respectable parties undertaking the accomplish- ment of the object in view; and should the govern- ments of the other States—namoly, Salvador, Hon- duras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, favor the enter- prise to some extent, there is no doubt but that it would prove a very successful operation. Indeed, the establishment of steam communica- tion from port to port, along the Pacific coast of Central America, on which side most of the popula- tion of that region is settled, would be the inost effectual means to consolidate peace, keep up a good understanding, and bring about the ultimate political union or combination of those petty re- publics, by bringing their inhabitants into porsonal contact with each other, creating new ties of mate- rial interest. strengthening the old ones, and destroy- ing sectional spirit, mutual suspicion, foolish jea- lousy, and groundless enmity, by the influence of continued mtercourse and civilization. Mr. Molina, the representative of Guatem: this country. has been authorized to negotiate with ee or individuals, respecting the objects in view. The steamers will not, of course, be subject to any duties of tonnage, port dues, or import, of any other denomination, inthe ports of Guatemala, Four hours delay are calculated as sufficient for stopping time at San José; but in caso there should not be anything to land or to ship, the vessels may proceed without any detention whatever. In the event of the other Central American go- vernments concurring on thia project, and stations being established on their coasts, the whole of the time lost by stoppages at the six stations of San José, Acajutla, Tibertad, Union, Realejo, and Puata Arenas, would probably not exceed twenty-four hours. Such a delay, on the long distance perform- ed by the Panama or Nicaragua lines, appears of little consequence, and cannot materially utfect the interests of the companies, because the advanfages would more than compensate the invonvenience or additional expenses. The company will save a great deal of monuy by taking its supply of water and fresh provisions either at Acajutle or La Union, directly from the hands of the producer, instead of purchasing the etock necessary for the voyage of the Pavitic ocean steamers at Panama from second hands, and at very high prices, as is dono at the present day. The Panama market being to a certain extent sapplied from Centra! America, it is needless to remark that by getting their provisions on the spot of produc- dion, the steamers will derive not only tuo benefit of cheap prices, but also a gteat improvement in ity. - TCs the other hand, Acajutla and La Union pos- aess all the requisites for establiehing coal depots, if found advisable. » ‘ . The tediousness of a long voyage will be relieved by frequent stations, where passengers may land without apprehension, and enjoy tropical scenery. | Itis hardly to be presumed chat the inter-ooeanic passage across Guatemala can enter into competi- tion with the Panama or Nicaragua routes, nor at~ tract either the great mass of the travelling public but, on the other hand, it is not preposterous pints ticipate that many individuals will find it an eligi- ble direction, precisely on account of its being sess crowded, and of the route traversing & healthy cli mate, where the traveller has an opportunity of viewing some of the most magnificent rspects of na- ture, in the shape of volcanoes, lakes, &c., &e , not to mention the precious antiquities enclosed in that orci the above statement, it will be easily por- acived that the project in contemplation embraces i nt parts = tro differs Peatatlishraent of stedin communica tion all along the coast of Central America, in con- nection with the Panama and San Francisoo *Second—The opening of a now inter oceanic route through Guatemala, for which purposo it is required: a.—That tho port of San José, on the Pacific, should be made a regular station for those steamnors. b.--The establishment of « smail steamer plying between Iyubal and Belize, on tho Atlantic, which vessel would onvigate the beautiful froeh water lake sugar, cotton, tobacco, bullion, and ores, are ex- portedtherefrom.

New York: Stringer & Townsend. 1852. Mr. C. Astor Bristed is a fortunate man. Born to wealth, ho was endowed with rational tastes, and was doing no violence to his natural disposition, when, after a successful collegiate carver in this country, he preferred spending four or five years in classic study, on the banks of the Cam, to sharing the profligate dissipation, and disgraceful idleness, in which the early manhood of so many of our pro- mising youths is squandered. He made himsolf, what it was his highest ambition to become, a scholar; and is, besides, we believe, a gentleman. To so many enviable titles to distinction, he is now desirous of adding a still more honorable one—that of a successful author. A dangerous experiment. “When youare well,”’ says the proverb, “‘seek not to better your condition, ‘else you may, hereafter, co- vet what you now despise.” A man who writes is dosoribed with ola- be considered the it of of enema at least one-fourth of the book is devoted to cuttor and buggy races, and wo are favored with the pedi- gree, t in hands, oo age of as many horses ag furnish o cavalry rogimont. Or dreas may become tho standard of oxcellence—Stults’s heart would warm at some of Mr. Bristed’s dosorip- tions. All this is very poor, ailly work. It is worse. It is cither a false description of the higher oircles of society among us, , in that case, a foul libel on respectable men and women; or it ia truo, and if fo, common decency onght to bid us veil a siate of things that callsa blush to tho check of avery hovest American. The men whom Mr. Bristod describes ag the leaders of fushion here—who call every one olse ** blackguards”—are idle, dissolute, worthless wretches, a burden and a disgrace to tho community. Wo cannot find a decent torm to cha- raoterize the women whom he delights to paint That a gossiping chroviole of such sovioty as this— espeoially when interspersed with amusing aneo- dotes, and occasional flashes of wit—should find readers, is, perhaps, no great matter of aurprise. The circulation of Reynolds’ infamous novels suffi- ciently attests the demand for scandal and immo- rality, both in Britain and on thiscontinent. But the secret of the success of “ The Uppor Ten Thousand,” in New York, is not due to that alons. Wo givo Mr. Bristed credit for considerable tact, in hav- ing availed himeolf so largely of the depraved thirst of the multitude for scurrility and personal abuse. Who would not read a book, ia which many of the moat respectable mon of New York aro ‘assailed and vilified, the privacy of their domastic circle violated, and their honor wounded in tho nicost int? Such a work is a perfect treasure to acham- ormaid. The victims of Mr. Bristad’s shafts will probably care little about the attack. It is part of the duty of a public man, and a public journal, to submit to abuse with composure. Mr. 8B. may deny that po- liticians are ** honest men or gontlomen,” he may boldly stamp newspaper editors as ** blackguards,” while, be it noticed, his hero, the only good cha- racter in the book, Masters, is constantly boasting of his writing for the papera—noither politicians re editors will trouble their heads about the epi- thets. Mr. Bristed is young, and, notwithstanding hia acquaintanoe with the Groek socialists, has yet much to Jearn. As he grows older, he will, wo trust, be more sparing of coarse language, and leas indulgent to systematic departures from honest principle ir pen has wandered to a greater length than wo intended, or than the character of the work bo- fire us warranted; but the republication of the epee Ten Thousand,” in a popular form, called loudly for some notice at ourhands. Atall hazards, American literature ‘must be purified from this stain ;” and though the very fact of our calling at- tention to its faults will incrense ita sala for a time, we may, perhaps, congratulate ourselves hereafter on having contributed to lower it from a pinnacle to which it ought never to have been raised. Tribute to the Memory of Judge Sandford. At a Convention of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and of the Justices book, stakes his whole reputation on its success. The stigma of unsuccessful authership follows a man through life. Mr. Bristed has written two books. The first was a@ long, learned, prosy description of the five years he spent at Cambridge, bristling with Greek, and interlarded with all the slang terms of that fast University. It gave minute discriptions of “little goes,” and ‘great goes,” and ‘‘ coaches,” and “‘triposes;” was adorned with biographies of Dons and Proctors, whose names then first sounded out- side their halls—-and interminable accounts of sup- pers with noblemen, authorising the suspicion that Mr. Bristed took short-hand notes while his friends “caroused potations deep ’—contained half a play of Sophocles, hashed up in short bits—and aimed at establishing one plain truth, viz: that he, the writer, was no less superior to the majority of his rivals at the studies usually pursued at college, than at riding a vicious horse, or seeing the end of a hard night. In fact, it was just such a book as any dull student might have wxitten, before intercourse with the world had rubbed off the dust of his class room, and we are safe in asserting, that outside the college walls, it has not been read through by a dozen persons. The work now before us is one of a different cha- racter. Some time ago, Frazer's Magazine was in a drooping condition. Maginn and Fraser were dead; Carlyle was lazy, and moderately ‘‘used up;’ Kingsley was resting on his ill-gotten laurels, and disseminating cheap irreligion among the lowe 3 ; Broderip was stingy of his amusing sketch es. The editer began to tremble for his subscription list. Contributors must be had at any price. Vo luntary manuscripts were no longer consigned to the drawer, fucetiously termed ‘the tomb,” because papers once buried therein, their resurrection to day- light was only expected by men of strong faith ; young engineer officers, and other army men of idle habits and literary tastes, were coaxed into scribbling lively tales ; expresses were sent off to the seats of learning, to beat up the least ponderous of the Fel- lows and Masters, and the most talented among the under graduates. Shortly afterwards, a paper, en- titled ‘Sketches of American Society,” appeared, and was followed, in due course, by nino others. They were much read in Bngland, and have been republished, more than once, we believe, on this side the Atlantic. The unsophisticated reader cannot readily account for this popularity. The work, as it lies pofore us, is neither a novel, nor a sketch of travel, nor in the strict acceptation of the term, an essay on the man- ners and customs of American society. There is no plot, no interest ; the style is excessively careless, slang terms and vulgar expressions abounding in every page. Thus, in the preface, (p 8,) we have Jadies who are ‘‘well up in dancing,”’ meaning, pro- bably, ladies who are good dancers. A little further on, (p. 21.) “ It is a nice position altogether, that of Henry Masters,” by which extraordinary senteace we are to understand that the social position of Henry Masters was enviable. Again, (p. 45,) “You could not do much more to Henry Masters, for he is got up to kill,” which, after severe study, we have interpreted to mean that no improvement could be made_in that gentleman’s toilet. Further on, (p. 179,) ‘* Masters appeared to have very little Himselt at that timo,” for, Masters was be- side himself ; and other similar barbarisms, which we have not time or space to particularize, In a cheap novel, these things might be passed over without notice; but in a work which has little to recommend it but its style, writ- ten by a man who writes and spouts Greek, we are ¢ entitled to deman@ the pure Anglo-Saxon. To uso one of Mr. Bristed’s own elegant idio; it is next door to impossible’ to admit a work couched in such pantry Passons—Taking Mr. Braisted’s preface, and his letter to Mr N. P. Willis, as true statem of his design, we find he intended to sketch the oust f the Upper Ten Thousand in New York. We open the book, and we find the most interesting female ohar- acter, Mrs Masters, who is supposed t high position in the best Gotham troduced to Mr Ashburner, an Eng’ au, ning “to abuse Hngland and the Mnglish to language to any higher station than the and to retail th grievance of her husband being plundered by Kusign Lavloss, and the ungentleman- y behavior of Lawless pére on that oi mn, the veluminous correspondence that took plac tween him and Harry, which the Blunder and Blus ter afterwards published in full, under the heading of ‘American Hospitality and English Repudiation .”” We can only say, that if thisis Mr. Bristed’s idea of the behavior of a lady to her guest, a foreiguer, our conception of the term is widely different from bis. If this be a true picture of the refinement and polite- ness of the ladies of the Upper Ten, we thank God we are none of them. As we proceed, tho characters of the unfortunate “set,” whose chronicler Mr. Brais- ted has constituted himself, are admirably developed. Tho men epend their day in dri fust herses and drinking sherry cobblers. The ladies—the married ladies, be it understood—in flirtation. The nights are spent by both sexes in dawoing. Polkas and oo- | topics of conversation and subjects of the among this class. A talent for dancing is agrue paseport into society, The dancing master boi g thus stamped as the “model man,” minor peculiarities, such as the independence of the married ladies from all marital restraint, the utter repudiation of the parental yoke by the young, and the cool indiffer- ence of the injured husbauds and despised fathers, are mentioned by our auth ratier a3 smid- ght ble eceentricities, than as flagrant symptoms of a corrupt state of morals.

THOS. J, OAKLEY, J, 8. BOSWORTH, The demise of this distinguished gentleman, who forms the subject of our sketch, so deeply felt and deplored in our city, appears to be generally mourned by the commnnity. Every day, we are receiving, through the public prints, manifestations of the admiration felt for him living, and the deep sorrow and regret experienced by his decease. To- day we publish the beautiful tribute to his memory, passed by the convention of judges, at their late session in Albany, which session the deceased judge was earnestly solicited by his brethren to attend, so that they might be aided by his wisdom and expe- rience, in the adoption of new rules for the better government of the different courts of this State, in the administration of justice and the practice of the law. But death deprived them of the wisdom and experience of his mind. The resolutions are well and suitably drawn. They offer no praise to his character as a man, to his abilities a3 a lawyer, or to his fame asa judge, not woll and truly morited and richly deserved. Judge Sandford we have known many yoars, and with admiration and satisfaction have we watchod is rising greatness.. The indefatigable energy and applied perseverance with whicl reer as a judge, have ever meri od for him the approbation of all. Judge Sandford was born at Ovid, Seneca cou on Sth June, 1807, to whieh place his parents re- moved from Long Island in the early history of our His father was a physician of great skill ud extensive practice, and was greatly reaper and beloved. In the education of young Lewis, his father took graat pride, and bis paternal care a attention was particularly directed to the and formation of his youthful mind. Prepara to entering college, his father placed him at Av to pursue course of study, and on his rotum he entered Hamilton College, and aficrward ated with considerable honor, at Union Cullege, the early age of seventeen During the same year, ho entered, as 9 atudont of law, the law office of Das Kellogg, Waq., 3, Onondaga county, then one of th most abls Western lawyers, and having the lo extensive and varied practice of any Western counties; and se constan fidelity, and assiduity, did the yo or d with such his term, he had the entire confidence logg, and the charge of his extensive » On his admission to the bar ho catal at Skaneateles, where he continned the Jaw, until he obtained distinetio and the largest practice of any |» Now York, aad pursued his prof and with his accustomed energy. until the y 1843, when he was elevated to the Bench as As sistant View Chancellor of the Fires Circuit, At the timo of his olevation to this im portant station, it wa: burdened witt a mass of the mouth of bis ly 2 proot | of it ndence and spirit ogue umrmarily got rid of, it matters little what ral | Conduct replaces tb, Maunug lumy vo has iho wad accumulated business, which requirot d porssversnce of the young Ohannotic rming and dispanso--but he was nota otak=Qy shrunk not from tha duty, Wut fare ip iu and untiringly, and evon with alacrity, Minted himscit to the duties of his official station, uptil his over-burdened calendar was ontirely re lieved. In this important office he continued unti he was raised to the post of Vice Chancellor of the Firat Circuit, by the retirement of Vice Chancellor MoCoun, which {position he held until the Court of Chancery was abolished by law. But bis services could not be dispensed with—his active and accomplished mind and extraordiaary energy, were needed in another tribunal, to aid in relieving it from an oppressed calendar—and he was accordingly elected a Justice of the Superior Court of the city of New York, which office he held at tho time of his doceaso The community bas suffered a groat, yoa, an irro- parable Luss, in tho death of this distinguished goa- tleman—sod, while we mourn with them his loss, deeply do we sympathise with his widowed wife and affectionate children, who mourn the loss of a hua bavd and « father, cut off in the prime of life, sud in the midet of a sucoassful and useful career.

On Him, thon, let them place their future ‘hope, and pray for strength in the hour of adversity.

Last Saturday's Gazette contained an important proclamation. It was enaoted, in the railway act o last session, that if, from any unforeseen cause, tho colonies should fail in obtaining from tho imperial cabiaet, the guarantee required to procure English capital to build the trunk line, the Governor should be at liberty to throw open the enterprise to private capi- talists in this province and in the United States, and to advance provincial bonds for one half the amount required for any single line. Itseems that our cabi- net have only just decided that the negotiation with Sir Jobn Pakington isa failure, and have como to the conolusion that, if the main trunk lino is to be built at all, it must be by our own unaided offorts ; £0 the proclamation notifies the world that the various sections of the road are at the disposal of capitalists, It must follow the course traced by the government, viz:—from some point on the eastern boundary line of Canada to St. Joseph de la Pointe Levi, from thence to Richmond, to join the Montreal and Portland road; from Montreal to Kingston, Kingston to Picton, Picton to Toronto, Toronto to Hamilton, Hamilton to Port Sarnia. Capen are already at work on various portions of this line; and, with the excep- tion of that part to the east of Quebec, there is some prospect of the whole being completed before many years roll over. An infusion of Yan- kee enterprise, however, and a subscription of Yankee dollars, could not but be beneficial; even if these were not Sheolately needed for the trunk line, they are absolutely indispensable for the pro- jected tributaries. Parties are stirring actively to obtain subscribers to the following branch lines: Mules long. +150 Ottawa line... Cobourg to Peterborough.

But the general voice of public opinion pronounces him impracticable, and there is no reason for doubting that Mr. J. McDonell will be chosen. T have reason to believe that the cabinet have re- solved on taking a decided stand with Lord Derby on the abstract right, or rather the constitutional right, of Canada to settle and arrange the Clergy Reserve question, and will demand that the power be immediately conceded to the colony. A bill to extend the franchise will be introduced at an carly period of the session—and if the bill to increase the representation cannot be carried, an attempt will be made, itis said, to legislate by a majority, and the House will call upon the imperial cabinet to ratify the act, notwithstanding the act of union. I have the best authority for stating that a series of retalia- tory measures will be introduced, to compel Con- gress to grant us reciprocity—such will be a new tariff, imposing ten per cent additional on all goods imported from the States, and a higher rate of tolls on Seat vessels passing through the Canadian canals. Mr. Holmes, of Montreal, has been in town forsome days. He applied to the government for a loan of $200,000 to the city of Montreal, for the relief of the sufferers by the fire; and I_am happy to be enabled to say, that there is no doubt of his success. A measure will be introduced into Parliament early in tho ensuing session, to authorize the Governor to issue debentures to that amount, redeemable in twenty-five or thirty years, and bearing interest at eight per cent. rd Elgin has gone to Lake St. Peter, to inspect the works now going on for the deepening of the charnel. It isto be hoped that his Excellency will dis- cover tho atrocious folly of throwing thousands of pounds every year into the lake, in order to scoop out a channel, which the slimy flow of the St. Law- retice obliterates in a few months. Most of the ministry have left Quebec for the Sa- guensy, to brace their energies for the conflicts of the session. A more delightful trip, with an in- vigorating plunge into the cold salt water, and a snuff of the fresh ocean breeze, cannot well be imagived. The sail down the St. Lawrence is itself a marvel. A river twenty and tweny-five miles vide, studded with islands, and bounded on either by smiling fields, and bright, happy little vil- 8, with twinkling steeples shining in the dis- e—fleets of heavy luden veseels, with bellied s—shoals of porpoises sporting lazily around their ws, while herds of seals low mourafully on the nrocks—this isa sight which cannot be en- cd everywhere. Some tew travellers leave the immer at Malbeire, a neat little village on the wth shore, some ninety miles from Quebeo, rs at Kakonna, a little lower down, on the shore; but all the Americans, and nota few ns, dread the landing in open boats, with a upge into the surf, or a ride on the back of a out habitant, at the end, and, afier a visit to Tadoussai, once the cupital of Canada, now a me ssemblage of half a dozenThuts, at the mouth of the Saguenay, and a few hours spent in awe and ) wonder as the steamer ascends the Saguenay river, | between stupendous ridges of granite, sometimes | 2,000 feet high, return the same trip to Quebeo.

WTADAUONA, . Thi | im thot character most diMicnl: ¢ THE BAL COSTUME AT CAPE MAY. The First of the Fancy Dress Season, he., ke., ke. Carn Isuanv, August 18, 1852. Mr. Evrror—Wherefore is it, Monscignour, that while you retain special correspondents in all parts of the world, in China and Poru, in Lisbon and Sao- ramento, in London and Sydney, in Paris and Port au Prince, in Northern Europe and Southern Amer- ica, may be in Siberia and Timbuotoo, you could not send a fitting one to do justive to the grand famcy ball of Cape May? Cape May, that moat desirable of allsummer residencos—the maritime resort of plodding farmers and money making citizons—the Prosent scone of constant festivities—that may be considered one of tho lungs of your own Gotham, distant from it only about one hundred miles, on the highway to your sistor Quakor city. Cape May, the Mecca of invalids—tho summer bazaar of fashion— the living panorama of all that is beautiful and re- cherche. Well, be it known unto you, sir, that last evening fancy ball came off in the ** Kursaal,”’ on this jowol of an island, that coaldacarcely be beaten any whore. With the description of the ‘*Kurseal,” so named after a colebrated building devotedto nearly simi lar purposes, in Wiesbaden, in Western Gormany, with its rich and varied docorations—with tho imaginary garden—with tho scenes of mere than fairy encbantinent—with the most complete illusory effect—with the coup d’ai!, in-short, that bafilos al! description—I sha!l not trouble you on this oo- casion; for your last year’s reporter did it so grapt cally, that any thing more said would be superoga- tory. One gravifying feature, however, I must mention—one that Sydney Smith, the facetious dean, would have termed “the moral sublime”— the various houses on this occasion were as ono. The Mansion and the Columbia gavo to each other the right hand of fellowship, the United States did not vex Congress Hall, nor did the Atlantic frown onthe Ocean. When the orchestra gave the soul stirring ‘note of preparation,” the spectacle on the floor was such as i8 usually seen on similar occa- sions. The past and the present—the polished and the ubeultivated—the high aud the low—the chaste and the groteeque—the unobtrusive neat and tho tawdry vulgar—presented a tableau vivant that waa animating and amusing. Here was the Rus- sian bear, and there the Turkish janizary--horo the haughty English, and there the lowly Savoyard. On one hand frozo the inhabitant of equatorial re- gions, and on tho other melted the donizon of the arctic zone. Cowled monks and _fuashion- able debauchees, brave soldiers and cowardly cour- tiers, ancient Romans and modern Greeks, all min- gled in.most admirable disorder. ‘he costumes, for tho most part new, were furnished by Mr. John G. Taylor, of No. 58 Prince street, of your city; the scenery was by Mr. Peter Grain, Jr.; the decora- tions by fairy hands. Messrs, Ludlam & Hooper, of the Mansion House, assumed all responsibilities. Mr. Thomson Reynolds, ot Philadelphia, Mr. Solo- mons, of New York, and the other mombers of the committee, exerted themselves unceasingly to give due élat to the ball. So many opposing interests united, men of different vocations, residents of vari- ous localities, and characters of every age and na- tion, acting in concert, gave anaugury of that time which wo have been frequently informed is coming, “when tho lion and the lamb,” &c. Most of the Rectlohanta in the festivities of the occasion, bein from Philadelphia, no mention is made of the resi- dencer, except when hailing from other places. Only the most prominent characters are given; many of the balance could not be deciphered by your corres- pendent, nor could they decipher themselves. No indifferent adjunct to the occasion was the conver- sation in the costuming room, while selecting tho dif- ferent dreases. ‘I want to have that coat,” (an Eng- lish fox hunter’s,) ‘and those boots,” (the buskios of Richard II1) **O, la me,’ gaid a most fascinatin, miss, scarce out of her teens, “how shall [ get this low crowned hat to stick on my head?” ‘Wafer it on,” said her cavalier. ‘That would not keep it long there,” said she; ‘‘suppose I nail it on.” ‘Your head is too soft for the rail to hold, Miss,” was the allantreply. A description of the costumes is as follows:— Mr. T. Reynolds first sustained the character of the Earl of Leicester, attircd in scarlet velvet, trim- med with gold- Then a rich Greek dress, and last- ly, pan citizen’s clothes. Mrs. T. Reynolds was attired in a chaste Greek costume, and fooked the character admirably. Mr. Jenkins appeared as a Knight of Maita. Mise Carr as a Greek girl, and danced admirably. Mr. E.N, Carr, of Baltimore, was the Chinese clown, and ac as well as dressed the character. Master Cyrr also took a Chinese part. Mrs Carr made a very becoming Gipsy. Mr Jacoby appeared as an Italian. Mr, Prince as Henry Quatre. Miss A. Watkins as Joan of Arc. r Mr. J. F. Mitehell wore a Quaker dress—state- full, Captain Harrison, of New Orleans, doaned the dress of a Spanish Don, aud, with his portly figure, fitted the churacter well Mr Charles Elias was a Mexican Guerrilla—only for this evening. Miss Clark was a Countess, also, for samo length of time. Miss Cruse wore a Highland dress, and with her bonnet and plume, her sash and her belt, she only needed a little stature to have been a complete per- sonation of Helen McGregor. Mr. L. Harwood, Jr., of the Columbia House, took an active part as Christopher Columbus, but seemed fonder of the Scottish highlands than of trans- atlantic discoveries. Major Snevely, the efficient superintendent of the yast Mount Vernon enterprise, wore a Spanish court dress, and blended the epee manner of the Don with the courtesy of the gentleman. Mrs. Sneveley was wnepaysanne charmante, and wore the low crowned, broad brimmed, peasant’s hat, with the nonchalant air of a lady of ton. The Misses Jack, of Brooklyn, appeared in tasty New York dinner dresses. A style well suited to such an occasion, but hardly appreciated by those who are all for glare Miss Sarah Jane Canning appeared in the Cachuca a Tees. Miss Mary Galbraith was a most winning, unas- suming Quakeress. Mr. Bote appeared as a duke. Mias Green as a French peasant Mrs. Souders wore a Spunish dress. Mrs Harris was Haydee. Mr C. Souders wore a Turkish dress—scarlet jocketand straw colored trowsers. Mr. W. Souders represented St. Pierre—dress, black velvet, slashed with purple satin, and trimmed with gold. Mr. J. Wilson assumed the Indian character. Mr. Cameron was costumed as Richard IIL. Mr. Boice, of the Cape Island City Bank, was at- tired in a rich Turkish dress. Mr. Peterson only dressed—acted not—the prof- ligate Earl of Rochester. Mr. Lyon wore a rich Greek dress. Miss Dobnert pergonated tho ** Maid of Athens.’’ Mr. Massey represented the ‘* American Sailor.’ Mies Charlotte Hugtes, of Cape Island, created a tremendous sensation as the * Fille du Regiment ” The naivéé of manner with which she supported the character was most bewitching, so King Charles acknowledged, who received moro damage about the neighborhood of his heart than did his unfortu- nate prototype from Cromwell, at the battle of Naseby. Mr. A. B. Patterson, of Baltimore, was costumed in an avcient court dress Mr. Brown was “Don Bazan”—black velvet, trimmed with gold, and slashed with straw-color satin, Mr. Cooper personated “King Charles"—blask velvet, trimmed with bugles. Mr. Collins appeared us ** Romeo”—whito, trim- med with silver, slashed with blae—an excellent diegn oseph McMukin, of the Atlantle, appeared asa “cowled m * but he evidently had not fully renounced this world and the things thereof, as he refused to conf hless your correspondent Without the “alii dime.” Mrs. MeMakin wore an clegant Spanish court dress. Master Lou!s was attired as a page, ead Master Charies and Miss Liszie MeMakin, us ‘* Highland Lad and Lassie” Miss Sezah M. MeMakin personated a lady of the English court, and had she been agcustomed to tread the halls of Buckingham palaca, or Windsor | Castle, she could not have carried hez head bigher, or paieed with more stately dignity, Miss Ayres, of Burlington, assumed the character Vrench peasant, aad Miss Abby that of a Greek | boy. Mr. Shackford, of St. Louis, wasa stalwart knight, and Mrs. Sbackford a charming Bloowor. , Mr. ren, the elegant attaché of tho Colambin peared as Patrick O’Rafforty, and flour- admiration of all behold- ably sustained, and the ssure of business prevowt- ¢ ball room. hed his shillelagh to the ers 1 This character was y regret was that a pre: duties to perform—namet: pieakituls ‘ae by @ louse. not trouble you things that wore said and those we said, but simply state that, as ia duty gostiernen toasted “ The Press.” the Napoleon of tho Aterican press, you must sider yourself included.
