NEWS FROM CUBA. Our Havana Correspondence. Havana, August 6, 1855. The Places of Interest in the Neighborhowd of Ha- vana—~Guanabucoa—-Indio-——Cerro——Puentes Grandis—The Glorieta—Marianao—Santa An- na Looking Out for in pap tener ened ty Stock Company—Property Tax About to be Im posed Upon the Cubans—Financial Embarrase- ments of the Government—Arrival of Pinelo and Cadalzo at Ceuta, &e.. &e- There being but little intelligence either of a poli- tical or other character on the tapis here at this season of the year, I have passed several afternoons since I last had the pleasure of addressing you, in visiting various of the little towns within three or four leagues of this city. The first I went to was across the bay, by a steamer, and thence by railway to Guavabucoa. I vill not detain the x with descriptions of the bay and steamer, or of the railway and the tropical scenery, with all of which I presume him to be fully acquainted. Guanabucoa, then, is sitnated about nine miles from thia city. It is far from being a pretty town, yet is somewhat celebrated for its mineral baths. There is to be a grand bazaar at Guanabucoa in the course of a few days, to raise funds for some religious purpose, when I shall again visit that place, until which period permit me to de- fer further description of it. I returned in a hired volante, and was struck by a particularly fine view of this city and bay to be had from a hill named by the caleséro (postillion) “ Indio,” about half way between Guanabucon and Regla, which I ought be- fore to have stated is a town on the other side of the hay, opposite this city. Another afternoon I went by omnibus to Cerro, distant about one league hence. There not being any- thing particularly worthy of observation there, I took my feat in another omnibusand proceeded to Puentes Grandes and Marianao. At Puentes Grandes I noticed several very beautiful villas, belonging, as I under- derstood, to merchants resident in this city. The chief object of attraction, however, is the glorieta, which is reither more or less than a circular shed, the roof of which is supported by pillars, whilst the sides are left unenclosed. This, as you may suppose, when gaily decorated with chandeliers brilliantly lighted up and adorned with garlands of flowers, forins a very beautiful a! fresco ball room. Here, I am told, the beauties of the Havana, and its neigh. borhood, frequently disport themselves in the mazes of the dance, There are, I learn, at present, balls there each Saturday evening, and having been fa- sored with a card of invitation for Suturday evening next I hope to be enabled to send you a full de- scription of it in a future letter. Marianao,which is some five miles beyond Puentes Grandes, is really a delightful watering place; a beautiful stream passes close to the town, to the waters of which extraordinary qualities are attri- buted. It was nearly evening when I reached Mari- anao, and I had but time to take a cursory glance at several of the traly beautiful residences it con- tains. 1 noticed several of our most respectable Havana families taking their evening walk, they being resident at Marlanao during the warm or rather hot months of the year. There was a gentle- man there too, with whom I have the pleasure of being on terms of intimacy, who is well known to lea friend of his “Serere Highness” of Mexico, Santa Anna, and who was making very particular inquiries respecting the villa at Mariauao, formerly occupied by Santa Anna. From a few unguarded observations which escaped him, I concluded, (tak- irg into consideration the present position of Santa Anna in Mexico,) that it is far from improbable that Marianao may again be honored, by having his “Highness” as one of ita residents. A new joint stock company, the shareholders of which are wealthy planters, has recently been formed for the erection of an exteasive range of the Almacenes warehouses for the deposit of sugar, near a Folate, to which a branch line of railway s to lead. 1am told, by I believe reliable authority, that an an income or property tax of eight per cent per an- Lum, is about to be imposed in this island. The trea- sury is known to be ina very needy state just now, so much to, that contrary to all previous custom, the water rate is being demanded for the entire y in advance. Another depletion, such as that caused by the frequent removal of troops, arming volun- teers, &e., Xc., during the alleged conspiracy last winter, would almost, I should fear, cause a public Leeper in this island. 1 have even heard it whis- pered that a forced loan was in contemplation, It would require but some such measure to cause a general throwing off of all allegiance to the Spanish crown. ‘The last Sponish mail steamer, which arrived two or three since, brought the intelligence of the arrival of Pinelo aud Cadalzo at Cadiz, where, upon their landing. I learn from private letters, they were hooted at by the populace. They have been taken to the island of Ceuta, where they were placed in chains. Gener has been permitted to go to his hotel, in order to prepare himself for his departare to Spain. Blanchard, the young man accused of the embez- zlement of money at New Orleans, of which I sent you full particulars in my last letter, found his resi- dence here so very disagreeable, that, with his wife, he took his departure for New York in the steamer United States on the 2d inst. The United States, in leaving this harbor, towed to sea the United States ship Falmouth. ‘There was to have been a grand review on Sun- pvening last, but at the appointed hour, the indows of Heaven were opened,” and the rain descended as it only can descend in the tropics. ‘The review was of course postponed.

The palatial establishments of the United States are not to Le found in Cuba; but with houses adapted toa climate where fires are never a necessity, with clean well ventilated apartments, and tables spread with choice meats, fowl! and fish of every variety, greater even than were coupled off in the ark, or the waters whieh floated it, the most fastidious and the most delicate will find every possible want sumptaoasly provided for. Vor invalids, it bas generally been found that the air of our cities, during the prevalence of “ north- ers,” is better than the country, where there is no protection from their rude and but too often hamid iuiluences. The accommodations in the country are plain and simple, food wholesome and abundant, and, in health, presenting all that the robust and ac- tive traveller should care for. Wishing to give no thing more than an introductory glance of our eata- blishments, without favor or interest, I shall take the oldest first. The Mansion House, kept by Wm. Fulton, Baq. the veteran of Cuban landlords, and a good hearted Honiface, is situated on Tacon street, but @ half square from the Plaza in front of the palace of the Captain General. jext in order—not that I would say of merit, but pretension—comes the Earopean aud American, situated upon the Calle Oficios, corner of Loz street, and near to the anchorage of the steamers Iaabel and the Black Warrior. 1 refer to Mr. Wolcott's publiehed card, which may be pal hotels of the North, ‘tly framed, and also on board of the pamenger steamer Isatel. 1 is will ap excellent table and choice wines. he house is a little too far removed from the centre too and ful position, one may be very happily situated. It is clove to the Tacon and the catiee Z of Escauriza. At Bernardo “ Uniou House,” on O'Riley street, # convenient distance for gentlemen, the best cook in the world is to be found. He superintends the palace tables, and his own cannot be any- where. The only want is room to jyoa to rext after being filled with good thi: 7 The San Carlos, on Office street, is a Spanish house connected with baths, its only recommenda ‘The Havana House, formerly kept by Wolcott, is.

The hotel is sitn- ated upon Cuba street, No. 3, comer of Tejadillo; is three minutes’ walk from the Plaza, in a Tetired, quiet, and yet central part of the city. The court. entrance is open and spacious, and ornamented with 4 few shrubs and flowers, giving @ freshness to eversthing which is exceedi ly pleasunt, indi- cating what you may expect. Ti'Bernardo’s could be combined with this, it would be the ne plus ultra. At this house thirty to forty guests can be uccommo- dated; the tables are spread after English and Ame- ricun customs, with a sprinkling of Spanish and French dishes; a dessert of pastry and fruits; wines, when required, but not obtruded apon you. ‘The company is always select. Invahds, if they cun gain admission here, are carefully attended to, although it is not an obligation of the house-to pro- vide nurses. The charm of this house is, the order and the genteel economy which pervades every- where; the ever clean rooms and bedding, and the company. If J could find anything to say against the house, it should be forthcoming; but 1am very much with a distinguished officer of the navy, who was guest for a week or two there, who complained to Mrs. Brewer when Lil the house, that she had deprived him of 1 sailor's dearest privilege. In real alarm she inquired “how? how is it possible’ please explain.” “Why, madam, you have deprived me of the pleasure o!

The Spanish bank, unless taken by the Royal Treasury, will not go into operation. ‘The stock cannot be forced upon Cuban capitalists; the reasons Thave previonsly given you.

Ata Inte hour on Saturday night, officers Martin and Gray, of the Sixth ward police, arrested three men, nam- ed John Brennan, Peter Seward and Lawrence Weaver, on charge of creating a riot at the corner of Centre and Franklin streets, ‘The accused, it is alleged, got into a fight with rome men ina liquor store in Centre atreet, and were ejected from the premises. At the corner of Franklin street the fight was again commenced, when the effcers making their appearanes, prevented any seri- mage, by arresting, as they anppored, the ringlead- H the riot. ‘The officers state in their affidavits that these men to de-ist from any further en the fight first commences, but their homes like peacerble eiti- ed around the neighborhood with nt intention of kicking up a row. The prisoners were committed for trial by Justice Connolly. SUSPICION OF BURGLARY. Scme days ago officer Birdsall, of the Kighteenth ward police, arrested a young man named James Irving, on suspicion of having, in connection with others, burgla- viously entered @ dwelling ia Fourteenth street; but the fellow managed to eycape by knocking down the office having bin in custody, Since that time a strict search hae been mace for the fagitive, who, it was believed, re- mained concealed in the city. ' Yosterday officer Knapp the Court « eral Sessions, succeeded in discover- down a rear flight of the officer, who ma- a to wecure the accused, ught before Justice Pearcy, at the Second district police, where he was committed ta prison tion. Irving is represented by the police as er a dest erate young man. ALLEGED FELONIOUS ASSAULT. John Wolbb, a ship carpenter, was takem imto eustody yesterday, by the Seventh ward police, charged with hay ing committed rather an aggravated t upon the person of Patrick Mullins, by stabbing hin in the head with a sharp pointed file, inflicting a severe and painful wound. ‘The injured man is at present unable to appear before the magistrate to prefer a complaint, so the ac- cused was committed for examination by Justice Wood. DEADLY ASSAULT WITH A CART RUNG. A erious diffenlty ocearred on Saturday between two men, named Michael Connolly and Patrick Murphy, both laborers, while at work on the pier foot of Clinton «trect, in which Murphy received a heavy blow on the head with a cart rung, alleged to have been inthe hands of Con- nolly. The’ injured man, on being conveyed to the se venth ward station house, became insensibie. Onexaw tion of the wound it was found that the skull had been fractured by the blow, and Counolly was arrested almost immediately after the occurrence, and on being brought before Just! t the Exsex Market Police Court, War committed to await the result of Murphy's injaries. ‘The prisener Brooklyn City News. A InervTe iy 4 Coron Concarsation.—The trustees of Rev. Mr. Williams’ congregation of the Second (color- ed) Congregational church, Bridge street, and their pax tor, have got into a serious dispute, which resulted in locking the doors of the church upon the minister, yes terday morning. It appears the pastor requested the trustees to make a report to the Quarterly Confereace, which they refused to do; when he told them that if they did not comply with his request he would read them out of the church on last Sabbath morning, The trustees applied to the sexton for the keys daring the latier part of the week, but he stated that t! were not in bi« pow cession. The trustees then asked egal advice, and were told that they could take posession of the church, a trustees, which they did, by hating the locks taken off the deors and putting others on. Un Sunday morning, when the minister arrived at the church, he was unabie to gain admission; quite a crowd gathered around the and the friends of the minister and trustees mpoke nother in no very amicable terms. At this June pgs the police of the Fourth district ho soon dispersed the crowd from the sidewalk, and quiet was restored. Noarrests were made, but the church was not opened AGAxG cr Rowpnm Boxer Ur.—Captain Smith, of the First district police, accompanied by the Mayor and a posse of police, went on an exploring expedition on Saturday afternoon to the outskirts of the Fighth ward for the purpose of capturing a gang of boy and girls, varying in age from rixteen to twenty years, who are said to infest the woods and commit all kinds of depre- cations on the persons and property of the inhabitants of that Ieality, who Lave importuned the police 1 try and put a stop to it. After a severe chase the police male sixteen arrests, among whom there were three ire. They were all brought to the First district «ta cure, where a portion of the younger buys were di charged, The following were held for examination— James Coyle, Patrick Duff, Christian Hinkle, James Car ney, Eliza Hogan, Jonnna Yarrell, and Margaret Laden Most of the above are known to the police, and their ar rest will probably have a good effect for some time to come.

NOMINATION OF GOV. TRIMBLE — RESOLUTIONS, SPEECHES, EPC. (From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Aug. 10.) The call for a mass of the American par- 1S ear wager Ohio, to nominate a candidate for , bas stivred up all the abolition elements of the State, and nothing been left undone by them to thwart the movement and to bring into the Clinse ranks the thousands of Know Nothings and old line whigs ee ph Ay wep to his election. It is anid that Tom r has been busily engu- ged here for upwards of a week. ters to all the Kuow Nothing council and prominent disaf- joo ehnther State, urging them to the support ‘The executive committee of the Nnow Nothing oc der has been in session, and adopted a series a! solutions repudiating the eng of the National Convention ut Philedelphia. The following resolution was adopted by the com- mittee:— Resolved, That, under existing cireumstances, we deem it imexpedient to nominate « State ticket for the ap prosehing election, but leave the matter for each member & the order to vote ax his conscience and judgment tnay etate, ‘This amounts to an emphatic aasertion. that the Know Nothing order is in nowise responsible for the nomination of Chase. Auother resolution, which is evidently the work of Tom er, was adopted, which gives Pap Taylor and the Times the go-by, and assuming the position that the order is not responsible for its self-constituted organs. It reads as follows :— Whereas, Certain newspapers are constantly quoting Paragraphs and sentiments from papers. which they charge as being our organs, and thereby endeavor to take us responsible for thelr sentiments; be it, therefore, Resolved, bat the American order in Obio has no organ, and does not hold itself responsible for any Kemti- ments or principles, except those published over the aig- natures of officers of the State Council. We bave seen larger assemblages im Columbus on the occasion of conventions ; but, taking into con- sideration the briefneas of the call,and the undue Measures used to defeat it, this convention was large, and shortly before twelve o'clock the con- vention assembled at the spacious City Hall, which was filled. On motion of T. C. Ware, of Hamilton county, Mr. Ira Kelly, of Cuyahoga county, was appointed temporary chairman, Mr. Kelly stated that the convention assembled in pursuance of a call fora mass meeting of the citi- zens of Ohio, for the purpose of nomiitatiog an hon- est man for Governor—a man without sectional pre- judices, and free from corruption—aman who would £2 for the country, the whole country, and nothing ut the country. Mr. J. O, Ranney, of Columbus, was appointed secretary. On motion, it was resolved that a committee of five be appointed to nominate permanent officers. ‘The Chair appointed the follow ng committee:—J. H. Beard, of Hamilton county; J. A. Trimble, of Highland; M. 1, Hatcher, of Belmont; C.S. Bennett, of Knox; E. L. Hutchinson, of Madison. On motion, the convention then adjourned until half past two o'clack. AYTEKNOON SESSION. The convention assembled at three o'clock. The committee on permanent officers, through its chairman, Mr. J. H. Beard, reported the following, which were accepted, President. Vier Prealc M. L. Cook, B.F. ©. Ware, A, Worthingto J. W. McBeth, Albert Donning, J. H. James, James E bavenport, of Belm S, Burt, H! Hollist wett, D. Humphreys, Ei M. Dennison, J. H. Jones, A. Pall, Ira Kelly, John Conwell, Serretarics . Bailey, J. 0. Kinney, Orgood Mussey, M. T. Brister. The President,on taking his seat, said he was aware that the motives for which the convention was called together would be perverted and di and its members termed “ disorganizers,” savers," and “ dough-taces,” which certain factions delight to stigmatize all those who do not bow down before their rod. He referred to the nomination of Chere, and suid it was the nomination of a man not fittobe made. The people had not forgotten the antecedents of Chase, and his election to office some years ago, which was brought about by a corrupt political combination. The speaker said there are mon in Ohio who believe that the honor of the office ought to be conferred on an honest and honorable man, The work for the nomination of Chase had been going on for months, and it was done with a view tothe future—looking to the Presidency. It was a move to divide the North and the South’; but there was a large portion of the people of Olio who would repudiate the combination. They wanted a man to vote for who, when he sakes the vath of olice and swears to sopport the Constitution, will do it without mental rescrvation. On swotion of Mr. E. I’. Norton, it waa Resolved, That a ittee be appointed to draft reso- lutions for the action of the convention, The Chair ayeetnes a committee, and during its abeence, the Hon, Wm. Stanberry was called for, and addressed the meeting. ing that he did not come to the Convention to make aspeech; he was sick and tired of stump speaking, and if the Convention concluded to nominate a Goy- einor, he hoped they would leave stamping to their adversaries. He (the speaker) had lived in Ohio fifty years, and had come to the Convention to save, it possible, the State from being disgraced by an abolition Governor, Slavery was established ‘and authorized by the government, and he (Mr. Stan- berry) was not dixpored to trespass on the constitu- tional rights of the South. If slavery was aa evil, it was an evil to the South and an unmitigated beneflt to the North. The speaker then went into a compa- riton of the exports and trade of the Soath and North, demonstrating that the North lived by the labor of the South, and the latter was the source of the prosperity of the former. His speech was lo- He commenced by say- gical, clear and eloquent, and was heartily received. The Committee on Resolutions then reiurned and po tee through their Chairman, E. P. Norton, the following :— believe that the period haa arrived when and integrity Ihave a regard for the ng and so deeply in vnly announce thelr re, inl _aceord we accept the admonition of the Father mar Country, to beware of rectional parties, and utterly repudiate as unworthy of the confidence of the people of Ohio the party inan ted in our Stale under the auspices of the Couventi the With July last, the great object of which ts to array one rection of our Union agninst the other Keselved, That in eorsmon with the vast majorlty of the people of Obio, we consider Che repeal of the Missouri cempromire « flagrant violation of a compact between the North and outh, established by «tatesmen. that ite iextoration is demanded by the plainest dictates of ho: for and potiey Kesolved, That we cannot consent to the abandonment +f the principles of the American party, and hall con tinue to maintain them long as there remains a ves- ige of that malign foreign influence which threatens our institutions: Kipsolved, ‘bat y and taxation system, iin the co-operation of such reform Lave resulted {rom the passage of the Ne! 1, and demand from all departn government the preservation of the laws and the puni. ample upon them, we will ecalesee with an ultra sectional party. wh toplichment of ita ends, proclaims ite det enint the laws of the land and make tu operative Kem tved, That nization of our govern ment candidates fo ve been welected as ine represents nof their party, and their fri aud Wet a* Hon. on V.

Stanberry then addressed the convention, sad ocenpied its attention for three quarters of an boar, during which he gave Chase a most severe nea thtug, denouncing him as a bitter opponent of the great American party, and @ dishonorable politician. &. P. Norton, of Cincinnati, followed the above »peaker ip a brief speech, in which he said that they bad selected a candidate who would nut change his | ¢yinions and ignore principles every year or two for ‘ » The fuxionixte would place their man in the Governor's chair to rebuke the Syath—not from love of country, but from bittervem of feeling and malig. nity.

He thought they had wourinated an honest nan for Governor. It was no packed convention, it war a free expression of the . He knew Trimble Soe not a Chase or Gi! faa, wud }t wae aleoowt arin to mention Trimble « name with that of Chase. The «peaker cunciaded by com plimenting thelr nominee. General Geiger, of Yrankiin county, was loudly Called iy7, mud addyenmed the Comveutg. Alig & few preliminary remarks, he said they had not come here like those of the Convention of the Léth of July, They ull came hungry and all looked mean. Chase he denounced as a political bastard, and said no ho- nest man could vote for him without feeling a tinge on his cheek. Said he, we ure not here to fuse, and if they did fuse, it would not be with a thing they despise. The r compared the nominations of the Isth of July to a splendid stew made of fine a Is, rabbits, woodcocks, quails, turkeys, c.—and some one coming along und pitchiag a skunk into the pot—hide, hair, smelling all. His speech was cutting, severe and sarcastic, and his reking down of the antecedents of Chase and his political corruptions was greeted throughout with pame, i A. Bannicg Norton, editor of the Continental, next addressed the meeting. He detined his posi- tion as sustaining the American party aud its prin- ciples, and said that he would vete for no man who would not sustain them. He urged the members of the American party to orgmize throughout the Stute,and mike their voices heard in supporting their romivation. Mr. Norton then offered the following: — Kesolved, That we recommend the appointment of « State Central Committee, who shall be fully empowered to wet in all matters pertaining to the welfare amt in- terests of the American party of Obio, ‘The resolution was adopted, The falto committee was appointed:—A. B. Norton, F. Martin, J. O.Rarry, of Franklin; Bush- nell White, Cuyahoga; T. J. Search, Preble; 8. Re Morton, Erie; Daniel Murphy, Licking; J. A. Tremble, “Highland; M. D. Hatcher, nt; T.

Stanberry were a) 1 typed ed to wait on Governor Trimble and inform of ‘bis nomination. On motion, the Convention then adjourned, after giving nine hearty and enthnsiustic cheers for Gover- nor Trimble, and three prolonged and heart-reading groans for Tom Spooner. City Intelligence.

The history of Newport is both pleasant to tell and interesting to hear. It i the capital apot of am island about as large as Manhattan, with its north- erly point resting on the bosom of Narragansett Bay—its casterly shores crowned with the vernal heights of Mount Hope—ita western cows washed by Long Island Sound, and its southern extremity » rocky point against which the ccean waves beat over more, ts waters abound in fish—from every point the eye is greeted with a marine view of ex- ceeding beauty, and the climate bears out the repa- tution of the Mediterranean paradise from which the Island takes its English name. What wonder is it, then, that with all these nate- rab advantages Newport should be « famous watering place, and that its summer floating population of three or four thousand should be made up of dele- gations from all classes of society and all parta of tho continent, and that though there may be well groand- ed complaints in regard to minor matters, yet that there should be but ove opinion aa to the merita of the place. Always popular—always ariatocratio in its tendencies, Newpart went to aleep about the year of grace seventeen hundred and cighty, and waked up to a new and a sort of dissipated life about niaty years afterwards. Brom being a thriviag com- mercial town, with a foreign trade long exceed- ing that of New York, it became the Brighton of America, the resort which old and young came for a few weeks of bathing, flirting, riding, fishing, and other sports move or leax moral, healthful, dele~ terious, frivolous or licentious, The principal hotels, although expensive enough, were not satiefactory to thoae who enjoyed the comforts which modern science gives to the wealthy citizen, and the little, incoavenient chambers were exceedingly uncomfortable when compared with the spleudid suites of rooms which the pleasure seekers too well remembered in their city homes. They soaght a quiet epot, and found themselves in the midst of noise and confusion, At abont the time that things becaine regulated in the hotels they were ready to clove for the reason. The next year a new set of as. xistamts came, and the same difficulties were met, and only surmounted ia part. There were many other reasons why vome of the more wealthy fre- quenters of Newport deserted the hotels, but they are not important to be mentioned here, Whea one has plenty of money and plenty of Jenre he is foolish if he does not take the task of freeing himself from inconveniences into his own hauds, The “Old Guard” of New port visiters believed iu the foregoing axiom; and, about five years ago commenced the erection of spacious, suletantial, and elegant marine villas, cer- tainly unexcelled— and we think unequalled—by any- thing of the kind in the world. [t is from this poiat that we are now viewing faslionable life in Newport. First, a little topography, The Newport touriet fs landed on the westerly side of the town, among dingy, tumble down warehouses, decayed wharves, feng boats, qacer little streets filled with odd old buildiags which almost seem te meet over one's head, so narrow ure the avenues ta whieh they are situateda.d various other debris of a once flourishing bet now faded commerclal town He is rattled through these Uttle streets up a high hil into an avenue whieh, Uf the afteragon t# ploa- unt, ie led with dashlug turnouts, from a trotting sulky wp to the stately family carriage, and its pro- menades thronged with gayly dressed pedestrians. Here things are more modern--everything lv Nght, gay and pleasant—so that the town really presente ppearance of an old bean who has pat on the clothes of « young roué and who ls endeavoring to make people belleve that there iv really no great difference between aixty-tive and twenty-two, There jx as roach distinction between the Newport of bust tees and the Newport of fashion as there Ix between, the cast and the weet nides of New York elty below Fourteenth street, The Fifth avenue, or Broadway of fashionable Newport, begins at the Jewish cemetery, aod runs doe south nearly two miler. On or near this street, called Bellevue avenue, are the principal hotels, to wits the Ocean Her the Bellevue House, the Atlantic, Aquidnock, and two other houses, and last, hut not feast, the Sea Girt House, built and kept om the European plan, by oar esteemed friend, George T. Downing, colored man, and supporter of the feneta of Young Africa. Also, upon thin wtreet are the splendid marine villas that we have referred to above. Formerly Hellevue street only extended to 4 #hort distance below the Ocean House, but about four years ago a number of gentlemen bought the Jand uta very cheap rate, and opened the avenue over a mile further, to the extreme southerly point of the island, or Land's End, as it t# called on the old maps. No grading waa required. The elevation of the land waa just sufficient ty give a gentle slope tor a lawn, to the road on one side and ty the sea thore on the other. The houses were generally placed about midway between the road and the sea shore. Mr. James Phalen, of New York, Director General of the Academy of Maxie, was one of the first Wullders upon this point—certainly the pleasantest loeation la Newport. Mr. Phillen bailt upon the extreme point, and his tower overlowks Uhe broad expanse of the AUantle ocean. The lund op pomite to him is Cape Pinisterre, which loeality be- ing several thoumnd miles off, he cann” conve- niently we, evenon a clear day, The fame of Land's End, and the eplendid castle which crowns it, drew handreda of fastionable people to it, and siailar edifices were commenced along the road. The land wae held at pretty high prices, and no cheap hows could be built on uch expensive lota, There ts none of this land in the market st present, we believe It was sold three yeare ainee for one thousand dollars an acre, from whith priee it rose to four thoussod Now it cannot te had at that price.

If by this he means such » house a thowe lately erect- ed on Kellevue evenve, hie remark be perfectly cor rect. Everything that money, sided by modern science, could scoomplinh bas teen done to make thet cotmmedions, elegant and teautiful, and the viniter i charmed with « pew delight ot every turn.
