THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 6784. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY. Workmen are now busily employed in tearing down Vauxhall Gardex—its history is ended. Perhaps there is no one place in the city of New York that is better known to its inhabitants, or that has had & longer or more varied history, than Vauxhall Garden. It dates back to the Knickerbockers, before the Van Twillers and Stuyvesants had passed off the stage, and comes with its changing fortunes down to the present time. The ground upon which Vauxhall Garden was originally established was purchased of one of the old settlers of the Netherlands by Jacob Sperry, a dorist, who emigrated to this country in the year 1148, from Switzerland. The site then covered an area, extending three hundred feet on the Bowery, ana the same on Broadway, across from street to street. Mr, Sperry used this property for the cultivation o flowers and hot house p'ants, which, in its day, became celebrated. Thousands, who now live, remember the time when Sperry’s garden was the great resort of belles and beaux for the purchase of their bouquets. This garden was, at this time, a long walk out of town, the city, in 1748, only containing some twelve thousand in- habitants, and not built up beyond where the City Hall now stands, Such was the profit of this garden to Mr. Sperry that, in 1800, he was satisfied to retire from Dusiness, and his grounds were at once put into the market. This was the time when John Jacob Astor was largely investing in real estate, who, in 1803, purchased of Mr. Sperry his entire garden for the sum of £9,000 eterling. At the time thie property came into Mr. Astor’s hands, an enterprising Frenchman, named Delacroix, obtained a twenty-one years lease upon the premises, apd at once christened the place Vauxhall Garden. Delacroix turned it into an ice cream saloon, and soon, under his management, it grew into favor as a popular and fashionable resort. The trees, planted by the bands of Mr. Sperry, shaded ite walks, and the flowers of his cultivation sent to its farthest limits their sweet and refreshing odors. A plain board fence surrounded the place, and on both Broadway and the Bowery were places of entrance and exit. Monsieur Delacroix turned the broad end of the green house erected by Mr. Sperry towards the Bowery, and converted it into a drinking saloon. Small boxes, or rather alcoves, were ranged round the entire garden, where interesting little parties were permitted to congregate by themselves, and in -quiet enjoy their juleps, coblers, cream and jokes. This ‘was, inthe first years of the present century, more fashionable than Hoboken or Taylor’s, at the present day. It was the resort of the fashionable—the young and old. It had no rival, no equal, The love sick swain, all -eagerners to please his duloinea, in # dashing ride to Vauxhall, had every opportunity to ply his arts for maid- en’s favor. Beneath the foliage of the garden, or re- tired within its alcoves, the more bold grew eloquent upon the one all absorbing theme, while the more timid gredually approached a mutus) confidence and under- standing through the insinuating reading of the flowers that grew plentifully around. How many couples that avill live remember Vauxhall Garden as the place where their first vows were made! It was an ordinary sight, of a summer’s afternoon, to see standing around Vauxhall for a mile distant, a solid phalanx of raddled steeds, carriages and buggies, with an urchin holding each rein anxiously waiting for his two shillings fee, when the owner of the *‘ turnout ”” should return irom ‘bis evening at the garden ing the day. Along the walks were hung vari lights, formed into stars, rerpents, suns and systems, hanging from tree tops and illuminating rose bushes, swinging amid lilac’s and the rose of sharon. On festi- val days, to all these attractions of the garden were added displays of fireworks, the only place of a similar exhibition in the city. The great day of the garden was on the 4th of July. From morning till night Vauxhali was crowded on the 4th, at charge of twenty-fiv cents admission. We learn from an old gentleman wh acted occasionally as one of the clerks for Mr. Delacroix that on a fourth of July evening, the receipts of th+ place were about $8,000, for many successive anniver- taries, The garden was capale of holding from fiftee» to twenty thousand people, and this number often as sembled within its entrances, This was Vauxhall gar den in its first days.

MARCY TO BE APPLIED TO—A REPORTER'S PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE UNDER DIFFICULTIES. ‘The account published in yesterday’s Henan of the head-quarters of the British army in the United States, produced no little excitement, and during the day the place in question was visited by crowds of curious people, who were desirous of seeing and learning all they could about this singular establishment. We understand that the authorities have already taken action in this matter, and Mr. John McKeon, the United States District Attor- pey, bas sent on to the Cabinet in Washington, to know what steps it is advisable for him to take, in frustrating the efforts of the Enghieh government to raise recruits for their army in the Ciimea. Meanwhile he has ordered the Unitea States Marshal to give the parties engaged in this service notice that tney will be dealt with accord- ing to Jaw.

There no annourcement outside that this was the groat shipping agency, by whieh the English government sent resruits to the Crimea, but on entering t! su door to the right might be seen a door and on it a pa, with tfle name of Angus McDonald written in ink. Tus inside of the room was anything but inviting—there was no fire, and, as the window panes were broken in several places, the air biew in raw and cold. The walls were rough and the floor dirty; inceed, the whole concern hada most uncomfortable and cheerless aspect. The furniture consisted of a pine table and four wooden chairs, On entering the room, the Reporter found a ic. J man walking around the apartment | riskly, and lowing on his fingers to keep them warm. The follow- ing conversation ensued:— KyRoRTER—Is this the place where recruits are booked for the English army ? Lap—We book those who wish to ge to Canada to join there.

Owing to the Publication in the HxRALD, I beliave this place will be closed to-morrow, as the United Sti District Attorney will be likely to put a stop to it.

On being asked by the Clerk what he bad to say why judgment should not be promounced against him according to law, the prisoner addressed the Court as follows:— May rt Pixask Tax Court—I shall avail myself of tho Opportunity now offered, (it being the last I shall possi- bly ever have,) to make # few remarks; and I wish it distinctly understood that what I am about to say isin BO way whatever intended by me as suing for mercy; on the contrary, I feel that I deserve penalty which thi Court may deem proper to inflict. My life, str, as some of the public prints have set forth, has not been one con- tinued succession of crime, Two years ago I was living with ay family eee in pen, soasateent and hap- Pines, known and respected by a large le juain- tances and friends, without sae. ate upon my name. But im an evil hour there came about my dwelling those who bad blighted and blasted many a home before. 1 shall not enter into details of the wretch- edness and desolation they have brought about me aad mire, and which, sir, have been the means of bringing me before you this day; also, of sending my family pen- niless, houseless and homeless, wi the face of the earth, ashamed of the very name they bear—a name handed to me without a blemish, as untarnished as the driven snow! May God forgive them—I never, never can! Aed yet, sir, it was my own fault. Endowed with alt the feelings and senses of manhood, I should have known that to have been breathed upon by them was death; that the very atmosphere which surrounded them was poisonow that which surrounds the upastree. I should have indignantly spurned them from me, as you would, tir, the most loathnome reptile that crawls upon the face of the earth, Had I paused; hadI pondered, I had not been here. I must have been ina dream, a sort of spell, when | permitted the ignus fatuus to lead me to destruction; and though I stand here charged with and convicted of crime, yet my heart tells me, and 1 feel and know it to be true, that I have no sympathy with it; that I bave no fellow feeling or emotion in common with ite perpetrators, Had I paused, had I pondered, you, sir, would have been spared the dis ble duty which develves upon you this day ; and Ican fancy noduty which in more irksome to an enlighented and humane Judge than that of ccnsigning a fellow creature to aliving tomb. But the edicts of the law munt be tulfilled, The consequences must fall on those who come, ant nistic to it; and cheerfully, gladly, yes joyfully, would I go hence, to wherever {t may please you to consign me, did I but feel that I might yet live to return—regenerated, untarnish- ed. That I could once more take that proad station amongst family and friends which I then held. But alas! this cannot be, and the overwhelming con. sciou 8 ot it inflicts more wretchedness and misery uy than any penalty which the law can inflict. ere is ho escape from one’s feelings excepting through the portals of the grave. I could escape tes the ral. road cars at the risk of my life, as has been givea in testimony, and T could lay out in the wild woods night after night, with no covering but the canopy of heaven, but there was one ever watchful companion which | could not avoid—it was the constant prompting of the heart. What have you been, what infamy and disgrace ave you entailed ‘on yourself? I could hear it in the leaves that rustied over my head. I could hear itin every sound that was borne upon the breeze. The whole world may forgive me, but | cannot forgive myself. I had hoped, sir, to have reached some distant country unsnown, where those who had known me could know me no more—where I could have settled down among strangers, and once more have been a man among men, ‘The ever present memory of the past, would have been a bright light to guide me in the path of rectitude in all e future, and would have illumined the rock upon bich I cast away. Providence has otherwise de- creed, and I am here; but were 1 permitted to depart this day, and whenever it shall please the powers that be, to permit me to depart, such shall be my course—I trust a wiser and a better man. The Recorder then addressed the prisoner in the fol- lowing terms:— You have bad a fair and full trial, and notwithstaad- ing the great zeal and abili ith which your counsel has defended you, you have been convicted of an of- fence, the punishment for which must be confinement in the State prison. If there is ome duty more painful than ancther, it is that of sentencing to such « penalty, &@ person who has been accustomed to move in enlight- ened circles of society. There can be no act more pain- ful than that of being compelled to blignt the prospects of a man with talents like yours. Such talents, instead should be a blessing, not only to the posses- but to his friends; and an intellact like curs it devoted to healthy pursuits, would have bean a right and shining light instead of the wreck it now pre- sents, To me this duty is painful indeed, and I nope never to eee such @ spectacle again. Your early course in life was one of industry and integrity; but, since then, your name has become somewhat historical; but that historical reminiscence has been connected with crime, and this witnin the space of two y: I well remember that when the first accusation brought against you, the public, with one accord, would not believe “that « man holding yonr position—that of a respectable and reputable merchant— could be guilty of the offence with which you were charged, Your own statements rhow, at any rate, that you were connected with crime; but at the same time they breathe repentance of the past, and, consejuently, hopes for the future You are yet youag—you: enough to redeem your character*when you are relea: frou prison. Ibad intended to sentence you for the longest term that the law allows, but! have changed my views in this respect. In what you have stated there was no bravado, such as is often displayed by men. brought up here for sentence. No person, unless he porsessed some remnant of virtue, eould be capable of making such remarks as you have just addressed to the court. Ifferr in mitigating your punishment, I have at least the satisfaction ol knowing that I err on the side of mercy. The sentence of this court is that you be confined in the State prison for the term of two years and six months, SKINNING A MAN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT—THE PIGHT- | ING MEN AGAIN, Denie!

The Committee on Public Health of the Board of Councilmen, consisting of Councilmen Ranney, Cooper, Slevin, Smith and Couenhoven, met yesterday at 4P.M., in the Council Chamber, to listen to arguments pro and con on the subject of repealing the following ordinance: No person shall fbring into the city of New York, or have in his or her possession in the anid city, any oys- ters, between the first day of May and the firat day of September, in any year, uncer the penalty of five dollars for any quantity not exceeding one hundred, and the farther penalty of two dollars for every adcitional hun- dre Mr. John Bullock appeared before the committee and stated that the above ordinance was passed in 1889, when the business of transplanting oys- ters was hardly known, ‘since then it has grown to be of great importance, and over » million dollars worth of oysters, all of them transplant. a, are now sold in the eity during the summer months, Heretofore the ordinance has been » dead letter, no re- whatever being paid toit, but now Mayor Wood has ified hia intention of enforcing the law, be the con- sequences what they may. This determination on the part of bis Honor, has producsd quite a panic among the oystermen, and they are fearful of engsging in the transplanting of oysters to our waters, as they might suffer great pecuniary loss thereby, and boats are now lying idle that would otherwise be engaged in the trade.

In some waters, and on rome soils, oysters spawn readily, on others not at all. The oystermen are unanimous in de- manding a repeal of ordinance.
