THE SUMMER RETREATS. Our Fort Hamilton Correspondence. Hamiuton Hovse, Port Hamrion, June, 13, 1853. Description of the Hamilton Howse—Bull of Fare —Cottages, Reminiscences, §c., Se. If Fort Hamilton was fifty or a hundred miles from New York we should hear much more of it as 8 fashionable watering place than we now do. But its being go near the city is really a strong point in | cars at about 8 o'clock in the its favor. The sail down here is very agreeable, selves much about it. The great ody of the people only requires thirty or forty-five minutes for ite ac- Pitcher Fonds, arrive in Boston in season for din- By lea ceomplishment.

The front towards the oceam is three hun- dred and sixty-eight feet in length, and that towards Staten Island is one hundred and ninety feet. The view of Staten Island includes Quarantine, Staple- ton's landing, Clifton, Aspinwall Point, the new « Fort Richmond, &e., &c. The view from the south side, at one point, is limited by the Highlands of Nevisink, and at another it stretches out over the biue of old ocean as far as the eye can see. There is ab a fresh, pure air here. Jn the summer, when thermometer indicates eighty or ninety degrees in New York, it is perfectly comfortable here with winter clothes on. The Hamilton House is kept by Mr. Hawley D. Clapp, who is too weil known to thousands of your to need any introdaction, and those who do | not know him will find it most pleasant to make his | uaintance at his own house. e dining hall of the Hamilton House is one hundred feet long by about forty-two in width. Co- lored servants are employed. The bill of fare for rosea dinner was elegant and very tasty. As indicative of the healthfulness of the situation, It is three | Now Mr. Clapp shows his son, a bouncing boy, ‘two year old,” as large as an ordinary child of four years. The yard in front of the house is tastefully laid out, with graveled walks, shaded by norse-chestnut, cher- ry. and other trees. The entire enclosure covers about nine acres of iand. On it, besides the hotel, are nine cottages, which have been built by Mr. came One of them, just being completed, wus par- ticularly canines by the proprietor for the aecom- modation of family of James Gordon Bennett, Esq., editor and proprietor of the New York Hera.p, if they should make him a visit this season. Mr. Clapp says that he can gceommodate between four hundred and fifty and five hundred persons com- fortably. At one time last summer there were five hundred and fifty-five here. None of the servauts, Se the chambermaids, sleep in the house; out-buildings being provided with ample accommodations for them. Mr. Clapp has a very fine vegetable garden, so that he is never under the necessity of using vegeta- bles of inferior ay There are, belonging to the house, pond accom- modations for salt water bathing, billiard saloons, bowling alleys for ladies and gentlemen, and other sources of amusement and pleasure. A large lives stable supplies horses and carriages for those inclint to ride; are always ready for those who wish to sail, se walks effer their charms to the ped ie old Fort Hamilton isa mere ruin; it is quite abandoned now. The old part of the Hamilton House, still standing, has some old interesting reminiscences connected with it. It was built aslong agoas 1751, by Lewnis Denyse and Dennis Denyse. A e room in this re of the house now known as No. 1, is said to the same in which George the Fourth was once kept, when he was a midshipman. The corner room next to it, No. 2, was once occupied by Gen. Wash- ington. Tt now rettts to a lady and gentleman for fifty dollars a week. The rooms all connect by doors, and to every oue there is a convenient closet, which contributes undoubtedly more to the comfort of the occupant than George the Fourth or General Wi can possibly do to-day. ‘The house has been, in a great measure, newly furnished since last year. Carpets have been substi- tuted for matting, and other improvements have been | made. About one half the rooms have already been . engaged for the season. It takes a warm day to make bees swarm, and soit does to make the city swarm. As soon as one coes, the Hamilton House will become crowded by those seeking a more healthy and comfortable home. IT should remark, in conclusion, that having passed 1 Suey at the Hamilton House, [ was agreeadly surprised to find none of those rowdy disturbances which have become too common at places of resort sear the city on that day of the week. Everything was as quiet as a Quaker meeting; and I maT A | imagine anything which could be done to make the place more delightful. B. Our Coney Island Correspondence. Conzy Isnanp, June 14, 1853. Conveyances to the Island—Senator Vanderbilt's New Hotel—Rides, Drives, and Promenades. The fashionable, pleasure, and health seeking peo- ple of this country, are largely indebted to the Hrr- ALD for information, from time to time, given in re- lation to summer resorts, watering places, rail- Toads, &e. ‘a endorsement of this kind isa guarantee that the putlie gcnerally rely npon, and the proprietors of hotels feel the imp.'Ttance of deserving. Your New Lebanon vctrespoadent has recently given a trothful description of th«\*¢ healthful spriags and the surrounding country. Niagara, Saratoga, Lake George, Cooperstown, White Monnta We Fonuta‘as, fort Hamilton, Rockaway, and other fashie" oi, ana mer fully and properly | pular resorts, have also beer noticed. A few days age, yon ware also pleased to mention the Oceanic F ouse, Coney Island, and it oceurred to | serving. “3 new and splendid establishment was de- “pe. more than a mere ‘ing notice. .obably you are not aware that during the past §rinter and spring, w Senator Vanderbilt was ad- | yocating the enlargement of the Erie canal, and sup- porting those measures best calculated to advance our State and national interests, thal he at the same time kept an eye to the interests of Coney Island and the pleasure seeking public. Judge Vanderbilt has erected upon the site of the old Oceanic, (destroyed by fire ) an edifice capable of accommodating two or three bund s. The ans and building of the house have been under the immediate direction and supervision of the present | proprietor, Mr. Charles M. Rogers, long and favora- biy known as the host of the Stanwix Hall, Alb Troy House, and the old Oce: The enterpri: and perseverance evinced by this gentleman in in- ducing Senator Vanderbilt to raise this magnificent Yhoenix out of the ashes of the old house, (where a'so ay burried many bright hopes and—the last dollar,) B deserving of success and the public favor. This hotel is just what Coney Island, famous for | he best sea bothin beach in the world, has long jeeded. It is furnished throughout in the best man- ger, and supplied with every convenience; the rooms awe large and well ventilated; the house is so ar- nnged that the family and boarders department is separate from the transient visiters; the honse is | lighted wish gas manufactured on the premises. Cot- tages have been erected for families. A line of stages has been established that run every half hour, morn- ings and afternoons, from and to the Brooklyn fer- ries. With a fine drive of less than an hour, through a Na ds country, and over the best plank and vel road, you are landed at the door, to meet the id welcome of our host and the polite attentions | of his assistants. In your next article upon watering places be kind enough to remember this establishment, and place it at the head of the list. Merit awards it this position, and it is but just that the Hexanp should give the endorsement. Hagp Sug.u. Our Vermont Correspondence, Winsor, (Vt.) June 8, 1853.

The ranges of green mountains, some of whose peaks tower three or four thousand feet above the level of the sea, are covered with the richest verdure quite to their summits, and the eyerlastingly green hills extending in every direction are covered with Jocks and herds, while the meadows and gentler Jopes are cultivated by an industrious and intelligent Yeomanry, whose pecuniary independence and thrift ‘ve ne equal in the world. ‘The atmosphere amid these hills is bracing and ex- Jilarating, and the crystal waters springing and bub- Jing from @ thousand natural sources, furnish bet- cer and more tempting liquor than falls within the prohibitory ena€tments of the Maine law, and under the enforcement of that modern humbug, an easier | them, scattered in every nook and corner, Editors with yearly passes in their pockets, paid for by edi- torial compliments of their road, meet you at every corner; and it is this liberolity and their exertions which secure them the business, and will always do | “task here than elsewhere, A recent tour through this State has satisfied me that the mass of the people care | 20 nut worry tiow- atte about the Maine |v layed in its construction, from ‘St. Louis influence, and other causes of a personal nature.
