OUR SUMMER RETREATS. TETTBRS FROM LOSG BRANCH AND NEW?ORT, A BAD SEASON AT NEWPORT. ° LONG BRaNCA. Merrorouttan Horen, / Lona Baanon, N. J., Jaly, 27, 1850. { Long Branch Compared with Other Watering Ploces—Arrivals--List of Distingwished Visi- ters, $e. 1 have tzaveiled some in my day, and have visited many of our fashionable popular summer watering places. In my wanderings I have been at Baratoga, and have drank Congress water to excess, and once suffered fashicaably through an entire ecasor. Since then I have paid flying visits, and baye frequently ridden to the lake, a-i can speak feolingly of those troutdinners. I have spent much time pleasantly at Lake George, enjryed the beautifal scenery, fished and ssiledapoa i's waters, and partaken of the hospitality of the hotels. 1 was oace fool enough to climb the Catskills, and worry through a teious ride up the mountain sids, of tweive milss. ~have spent a season at Lebanon, smong th hills and Shakers; I bave visited West Point Lake Mahopac, Newport, Ro.kavay, Bath, For Hamilton, and have epjoyed tho surf bathin; and clam bakes of Coney Island; I have per formed fatiguing journeys in stage coaches an dusty railroad cars to reach these poiats, but, for gome reason--probably prejadise-—-I never before visited Long Bianeh, New Jersey. Accident brought me here thie reason, and the many advantages tais beautifal seaside rerort possesses over the ot sera, induce me to write this commanicstion, €0 that | the public, through the Hezaup, may rective the benefit. It 's true we have no me { cated miacral waters to purgo us aud produce an artificial a22¢ tite, but en we have, instesd, pure, fresh air from off the ocean, and the rolling, dasxing, foaming surf to cool ourselves, that us long for tue dinner hour. And, in lieu of the view from the mouatain &p at have a broad a ox - igre poe a ever: 1g panorama of steams! and sailing ves- | sels. Oar fi is anoqualled, and the drives ex- | cellent. Just of the enjoyment, these exces- -sive warm rights, to eit out on the piazza, or upon the ith a pleasant breeze playing over you, and “nevera mosquito coming near!” cold of Satarday aud Suacdsy last lessened the arrivals, but to-day there have been more than on any former day of the seasou. At the Metropolitan we have about 250 guests, emong them Goy. Price and family; salge Tromain and family, of Albany; the familfzs of Lord & Cay- lor, J. P. Howard, James Hewit, and many ovhers ot New York—Hon. Wm. L. Pailips and family, of Washingtoa, ic. The splendid turoouts driviog along the beach road to-day were no‘ oily num:rous, but give an a; ce to * things ”’ that makes one | fear, almos', the old fashioned oomforts of Long Branch are about to be changed. The semi-weekly hops are well attended, and have the effect to give 9 general introduciion, and every- boty acd their wives are determine’ to have “a gocd time.” The Herarp of this morning published an account of the Coney Island tragedy, which tends to excite the fears of our timid bat rs. Heithe same precautions been Cae aoa Island thas Mesace. Van Dyke and se et of the Metropolitan, take bere, probably two valuable lives woud have been zaved. In the first place, bathers are notified when it is proper time cf tide, and the bathing- master, an expert swimmer, alweys accompanie: parties. He is also provided with ropes made fas Wo stakes driven in the bank, so taat tae swimmers need rever loose their hold. An abandan:e of sarf beats are also in readiness; but the precautions be- fore menticxed render them cf little or no use. Long Branch is de: izecly “the place,” and the Setropo- litan “ one of the houses.” Aatao. How .anp's Sea Beacn Hore, Lova Branog, N.

Itis now several years since I wrote you from this place; and after auc) an absence, it is truly refreshing and pleasant to turn the eye again sea- ward from this delightful spot. IfI mistake not, at that time the Henan proprietor and family were sojourning here. Time makes many altera- tions. Now, msgnificent hotels, vieing ia interaal arrangements and arcommodations with those of Broadway, have taken the place of older ones. Marice villas are springing up on all sida, erected by wealtby citizens for the accom nodation of them- ‘elves aud families Gning the summer months Beautifully laid out lawns, gravelled walks and drives have added much to the beauty and general pypearence of Lopg Branch. At evening, a stroll pg the main thoroughfare is grand in the ex- treme—upon the one hand, nothing is hesrd save the wild mcaniog of the dark blae een; while upon the otber the eye is dazzled by the giare of flashing gealights, #23, promenades, and broai halls re ech»: 1g to the foctateps of the merry dancers.

We have been asked the mesuing of the “heated | term,” we were honest, and confessed our inability fo oxplain. We remarked that oce Mr. Moriam, who ‘does’ the weather on Brookiyn Heights, had fired cff a series of paragrepts om that evbj«ot, which tor the most part briefly anaounced to eweltering humanity in general, that tie “heated term still continued.” Oar friend said “aumbuag”’ end “guersed that the clerk of the weather was” — well, never mind what our friend said—he waa excitablc—perhaps the “heated term’jmade him so—and we regret to admit that hs went the whole length of the expression, and ccnclnded by quoting the precedent of one Mre. Jones, who wont round retailing stale news, But what, you may wei! ask, “What has all thia toda wit Newpor?” A “pretty considerable sight,” (touse a Yankeeism,) as you yourself would allow if you could but ses ug as we ei (in a thin coat and profuse perapira tion) to coraw! this epistie. “The seaaon,” is about what it was ten da;s.ago; the Oceau House bas about 160 iamates; the place is not crammed, nor do we think it likely to be. All the better, therefore, for those who come—more bedroom and elbow rocm, and, better still, a :¢aaon- sble prospect of getting something to eat. ‘The Gormanians are here—concarts, hops, bathing cars (ro% unlike those so graphically described by one of your “ "long shore” correspondeats tna recent epistie), and all the complicated machinery of “ the season,” ere ready, a only wait the inflax of “the sizangers,” to get up the seam. Wauata Trey, #ermon~ @ practical one, I meaa—c preached here during the high caraival of th: 7 mer time, from the text, ‘I was a stranger aad ys tcok me in!” But there, alas! the qavtasion must end, for we never heard of ‘body deprived of raiment in these parts who wa clothed without @ pecuciary consideration to his tailor, nor of one “ ick in prison” getting out without fecing his lawyer. The “last agony” kere in the way of an exzito- ment, has been the Unitarian church fair, at the Ocean House hall; or as it may o:berwize be styled, a not very new way of raising the wind to I{quida:e old debts. Bat honesty of intention is evary hin, in these latter days, and surely ‘charity oovere! & multitude of sins ;”’ yea, even as in instance, these of needlework. ‘Weil, take it all in ail, tt was @ fair fair; with fair women, fair girls, a more than fair attendance, and if miserly souls were inclined to discover an unfair difference bet veen the amouat bareed and the articles purchased, why they had only to reflect that they we-e casting their breai upon tie waters and might possibly find it after mavy dsys; even if the crumbs weze nut t> b2 eked up immediately. There was, moreover, 4 i Peat Office where we tailed to inquire for letters; | ord @ pasteboard sign which iatormed the friends that a “grab box” (crab box, we read it), was focated in that quarter of the establishment, whers, for the very te charge of half a di the eluded youth thrust in hand and drew forth—somethirg lees than bis money's worth. Bas, after all, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves to make fun of serious things, tue more so | ae s Unitarian friend of ourselves bas {timated an Intention of cressing ue off her books if we shovid give this “ charitabie effort” either more or less than a first rate notice: o we'll try aud mend our de- acriptiop; that is, 1¢ we can show evidence of a good | intention by so doing. Soin all sobemness, at a tab'e headed “Literary Coricsities” (there must have been | @ mistake bere, for we looked in vain for the auto- biographies of Barnum and Gceeley,) wera to he found & brace of antograph poems.by Longfeilo#, which doubtless brough’ a round sum ; a to by Tuckerman, and ditto by Geo.

There syecimens of bad aig: were also audry natures, by cistirguished individaals, smosg which these Fanny Kemble were the most abuxdant—it beiog pretty generally urderssocd that more were to have been had, if they could have s:ld them.” The Crimzan Nightingale would a'so have been ‘‘on the tabe,’’ but ss the Times bas yet to acttie the question of her beiag a Unitarian, wouldn't “grieve her” by the impu- tation. In ition to these matters, and a stock “too pumerous to mention,” $1e pastor, Charles T. Brocks, Eeq., has labored hard to prodacs @ quanti- ty cf little manuscript books, containing transla- tics from the German, (in which Mr. B. excels,), or paragraphs picked up abroad. From one of these—a collection epitapbs—we cull the following, co ied frcm a cere stone in the church yard of lsvgotteo, in North Wales: — Our life is but a wintry day— Some on!y breakfast and away Others to dinner stay, and are full fed — The oldest man but sups and goes to bed. Large is his debt who lingers out the day Who goes the soonest has the least to pay. Onr cld fishermen here are fond of practical j »kes, as the fcilowing msy show :—Some entarorising amateurs in piscstory purmita employed a man to teke them out “ 6 ;;’ but as they were, or seemed to be, very “‘ green,” the old wag took them to a white-washed ledge of rocks in the inner har- bor, kcown as the lime rocks, there the enthu- s'astic Waltoniaps passed their day, with a blazing sun above, and sbjut the same chan>e of catching fish as if they had been angling in their cisterns at home. Bat the old fisherman’s cry was ever— “ Bait em well up, Wg ad they’re a leetle shy about here.” Bat ma'l is closing, and I must i & hold. fo Saturday next, at 5 P.M., Bishop Clarke, of Rhode Isiard, with others of the clergy, will lay the corner stone of a naw Eyiscopal charch in thia place.
