The num- ber of visiters, however, is comparatively amall. Somehow or otber people do not seem to be about. I reckon, as they say down Hast, that thay will swarm in upon us by-aud-bye. Notwithstandiog the small number of visiters here, you see quite a crowd of the long eared gentry. Toey are moatly quartered at the Columbia, which is, thus far, the leader in fashion. Now,when! ssy tashion, I mean equirtdom. Gentility and fashion vre by no means synopymous at watering places. The fashion of watering places is almost exclusively parvenuism. Well born and well bred people never make any undue display anywhere. They move abou’ with sohd, substantial consciousness that all is rignt. Your fashionables of watering places ate thoss who have got suddenly rich; who have been seized with a pletoora cf money, as folks ate with apoplexy. It bas come upon them unexpectedly, by the eud- Cen rise of putty, or the death of arich relation of the tallow chandler or blackamith school. They suddenly fall upon brilliant equivages, sometimes embracing all the colors of the rainbow; turn up their noses, and so go it with a perfect looseness. ‘Lhere are some bsaux at the island who are the aublimeat specimens of the squict breed that you canimagine. I hear that one of the genus want out with a pare to catch porpoises, ths other day, and shat when he returned he was so overcome with the effecta:f most desperate sea-sickaess, tast he was obliged to repove his nead a whole hour on his mamma's lap.

Joha Smuh— Poca hontas. Being on a pleasure excursion from “Old Gotham,” with the design of making a flying visit toas many of the chief paces of interest in tie Union es a month will allow, I set off about ona week ago for the sunny Sou'h, thence for tae West and North, into Canada. Having visited Poilaiel” phia and Baltimore, wetook advantage of a moss delightful sail on the Chesspeske Bay, from the last mentioned city to Norfolk, Va. During the sail we were favored with that most welcome ses breez> which, to a pent-up citizen, bestows atr:ngta aud vigor at every breath; andia the course of some twelve hours sail wemade the lendiag; and, with that yearning after news from home which the absent only can appreciate, we immediately pro- cared the New York Herato, whish in my tavels is an unfailing and entertaining companion. The Hesavp seems to bo the paver in ail the hotela aad watering places of the South. Reading a0 intsrestiog acconal in tha: papor o¢ Old Point Comfort, I lett Nortolk for that place, and found it had not been at all overrated. Old Point Comfort, which is situated at the entraace to the Chesapeake Bay, is rendered interesting from its famous military station, Fortress Monroe, its cool and delightful sea b-eezes, its excellent hotel and bathing houses. The enclosure of the fort, which covers about eighty scres, is beautifully laid out with shaded walks, where every morning and afternooa, (exept Sunday,) at the sound of toe bugle, the recruiss of a regiment jast being organized instantly present themselves in their reepe tive companies, of wiich there are at present six. It is quite emustag to sxe them divide and separa‘e into squads of half-dozins, dozens and twent'es, and,each under ita proper officer, march, countermarch, wheel, {>, makiag every part of the field as busy as a beshive. Afser an hour’s drill in the afternoon, the bagle agvia sounds, and then all asssmb'e and disserse —:he officers to their dwellings in the eacloaure or a} tas hotel, and the soldiers to the barracks. After supper atthe hotel the band entered thy ball room, which is about sixty or seveaty feet equare end there began to aassmb efrom the various cooms, the belles and beaux from different parts of he South, for there were very few Nort .eraers present.

In a letter purporting to be written from the Greenbriar Springs, Virginia, aod published in the Heraup of Sunday, a statement is made that call. tor immediate contradiction. The writer, amongst other ma‘ters of gossip, which are introdued merely for the purpos: of covering the only design of his letter, and of giving it an air of business narrative, states that “the Warrenton (Virginia Springs) had been closed for the season, not in consequence (as had been reporto)) of smalipex breaking out there, but because a diesase similar to the plague had made its appearance.” Taseure you that the whole stat:mest is an un mitigated untruth, and totally withoat foundatior. ‘The health of Warrenton Springs and ali the adja- cent region bas been uninterrupted. No disease of apy kind has prevailed, nor does prevail there. Tae position is elevated and salabrious.

It ia well known that in 1849, when the chole a ravaged the seaboard, and the Logislatara of Vic ginia were forced to leave Richmond, the capi'a' of Virginia, the Warrenton Springs were selected as theic place of adjournment.

We aill tell our great metropolitan !nminary ail about it, The demo.iacy are that party wno fixed tne cha racter cf republicanism indelibly upon Americas government; whion expelied Adams from office aad elected Jefferson President; whicn uasloeed tne prison doors and Ist out many s go'd editoz for pro- nooncing strictures upon Mr. A sams not ove half a3 bitter as those which every cay teem from the typs3 oftre Hera.D against the present administration; the party, therefore, to whica the Heaaup owes ita present immunity from fines and incarceration. 1 is toat party which bas perseveringly msiutaiacd those ideatical principles ever siuce.

We trust this 18 @ satiefactory acawer as to who are the democracy. We are, we confess, a litte non- plussed by the second branch of the interrogatory. “What ate the Democracy?” triampnant:y asks cur learned Theban. Beyond what we state in reply to the first question, we can, we think, bost respond im the antwer of an ‘Arkatrsas patriot, who, betpg asked the same question by a cavillng adversary, said, according tv the report of Petar ‘Whetstor e: - “sir, tbe aemocracy of this free, i: uation, ts grand, gloomy, and peculiar; atupesdous, tavege, sai tin—and sulpburic in tnemselves.” Ap to the whereabouts of the demosracy we will iniorm our great “‘robustious pe:iwig pated fellow” vat it be will descend trom hie Olympus, aud cease for a short time from his emusement of pulling Cown and eating up dynesties, and of regalatiog the affeirs of two hemispheres, he will discover tae demociacy to be some in Virginia.

It bas abandoned its secrets, when 1” jugglery was cetected; and materially abated ts scr iptive intolerance, as the national disgust arose sgainst ite spirit of hypocrisy and persecution. And lsat of all, it has eplit into fragments in attempts w conceal its abolition proclivities, ao msnifest throug out all the North—which to deny wasa (rand to. Monstrous for even the abolitioniem of Wilson. Hiss, or Matsechusetts to swallow.

Tue maintenasce of those conservative principles embrac:d in the Paula delphia platform—st:len trom the Baltimore piat- form— cen only be effected through the democratic organization, and through tnat it will certainly b: 8. And we beg the Heratp to remembar that the Memaragement of democratic func isauries, their follies and want of sense, nay, their very treasou, are impotent to disband the party, or draw ‘them fsom the great principles to whton taney owe allegiance. In 1848 tne democratic party preferred submitting to certain defest sooner than bh? con taminated with aftreason and a heresy waich, if sapvcticned, would have as certainly sscured a tri vmph. {he democracy had in turn their trnumgn They eaw the deserters vo the Baffslo abominati nm return wich penitential prayers to their allegians:, ashing forgiveness for the past, and swearing fatta- tally to observe the Baltimore creed, a3 @ gairaatee ot their reformation and future fidelity.

[From th» Toronto Colonist, July 16.) One ot the mou: diegracefal rio's that ever occar:ed. in this city took place on Friday night last, the circumetances or which we have taken troubie to necer‘ain accurately, and they are as follows:— Howe’s menagerie aud Myers & Madigan’s eques- trian trcupe jomtly expioited and performed in this city, on the vacant pace near the jsdil, on the evea- ings of Towaday and Friday. On Toursday night 8 row occurred in a house of i!)-fame a litsle west of the old hospital om King stree’, in wnich two or three of the circus vecple were concerned. [wo young men, named Faw et and Fraser, who, it is paid, the hook and ladder company in thi el riously ic jured, one af them get- ting his jaw broken in to places from the blow of 8 decanter. The parties woo inflicted these injucies were those connected with the circus; and, conse- quently, the friends of the sufferers vowed veo- geance on the whole establishment. From the inquirtes we pave wade, we have ascertained that we friends of Fawcet and Fraser were busy during the whole of Fridsy preparing for an atteck on tne cizcus establiabment in the evening. Every endes- vor was mude to collect such @ force as would, if peasible, overawe both the veople and the ice, and silow the mob to do just seit pleasad. deed, we bave beard from several that they were aware of a riot being c.ntemplated several bcurs pre- vious to that at which the performance commenc:d in the evening. It sleo appears, as was stated by constable McCaffrey in his evidence at the Police Court, that « certain system of action vas de- cided upon. Symptoms of the riot were quite per- conte during the huss of perfo'mance, bat no re- gi atteck was made upcn the premises unti! the sudience had deyarted. It was commenced to cut the canvass with most violent demonstration was made by yells and shouts. The employes of the circus semed them- selves with such weavons as they could lay haads upon, rallied out in a body and make clearance, gad agaiu returne¢ under canvass. The po'ice here, it seems, made o feeble attempt to ariest some [eine but were prevented be the mob. About hue time, we believe it was, that Joseph Bird, a memter of the hock aud ladder company, re-eived a blow of an ion ber from one of the circus men, and bad to betaken home. A pistol sho:, we un derstand, was also fired by one of the party assail ed. The next step of the mob wis to make an at- tack on one of the wagons, which they pulied away and tumbled over toe embankment into the bay. They then attacked the ticket wagon, which waa smeshed into pieces with their axes ‘and set on fie. The Mayor kad previously been sen; for by Mr. Yale, one of the macegers of the compacy, and he goop arrived on the sp%t, aad endeavored to queil the disturbance. He advised the circus men to lap cown their weepons and consider themssives as prisoners, and he w:uld do everything in nis power to \ pies them; to waich request t 1ey immediately Sielced, sitting do wn together uncer the tent. Hetbon ¢xoostulated with the mob outside, and entreated of them to desist; but hts efforts, altsougn successful in one quarter, were defeated at ancther. He man- eged, however, to rescue two men belonging to tae company, who were set upon by the crowd, some of whom shouted out “kill them,” *‘kaock s3¢m dow.,” &c., and whom be sent off ia acad to tae police steuon. The work of destruction still went on. When the ticket wegon was set on tive, some of the mob procecded to the St. Lawrence Hall (about 11 o’clock), and caused the fire alarm to be rang,wiica proceeding, meat likely certed, had the effect of bringing the hook acd ladder wazon and several of the engines to the ground. Amid demoniac yelis and the darkness of tue night, relieved oaly by the dim light of the barning vehicle, the hooss were applied to toe haeins and ropes of the pavilion, and w the ery of “ibis way, rackers,” from toe ringiead— er#,the work of eyes down the canvass co naenoed. While this part ot the proceediags was go.ngoa, several attempts were made to fice the tent, bat the Operation was Lot successtal until it was all alied down, when the wa dcobe (which was new), aad everything tha’ coals ba iaid hold of, wss thrown into the fire and destroyed. The poli-e, of wnom there were thirteen on the grousd, were, witn the exception oi Chief Coustable Sherwood and cons‘a— bie McCaffrey, either nawilting or incag sbie of ren— dering the Mayor any eff-c/ual aasisiance. Mr. Councilman McConpkey, who reached the ground late, was extremely active, acd with his aid and that of three or four others, the Mayor was for- tupately successful in preveating eecious per— sonal collision, although fhe was ftraqueatly obliged to throw himself betwren the as- eailanta sod tse pariios sitacked. After the tent was éestroyed, the mob rusied toward the caravems of wild beasts, one of whi:h (thas of the comelsopars) they backea toward the flames; bot the Mayor ond his asewtaate rescaed it. His Worship fioally addressed the excited popa- jace trom the root of ope of the wagon, pointing cat J them ly oe thet of pta- cee ; an r some ti began to dis- seme ke soon as he found the inefficiency of the police, his Worship bad sent off for tae enrolled sentioners,a body of whom, amounting to thirty cr forty, under Uo) Talloch, marched on to the ground about two o'clock, at which time the dis- varbance bad wholly ceared. On Saturday moroing the two men who were rescued by the Mayor ware examined at the police office; bat no accusation teing brought against them, and it being under. stocd that Bira’s injaries were not of » serious cbaracter, they were cischarged. Oae of the circus party, it seemp, was kicked and beaten in so seri ua & manner as to prevent him leaving the city on Ssturday with bis companions, who ara now bear, at Brampton, awaiting the arrival of tent, &c., from New York. Myers,one of the pro. pri tors, who was tue party impliseved in the sesault on gt evening, on Faw ¢: aad Fraasr, is now in custody, having been arrested at Bramp- ton on Batarday. y Not the least discreditable part of this transac- tion ia the difficulty which is found in discovering the ringleaders, Asia ths case of the fame fire on Chorch street, the police profess their entire igno- rance of the parties concerned, although the riat lasted for nearly two hours. The Mayor, Alderman Dogean and ‘Afgermen Snith spent some time on Sarurdey in endeavoring ty trace the offenders, bas without effect. Farther inquiries are ia progres, pie we are aesured that, if possivie, jastice will bz one.
