"The magnificent apartment from which I write is fitting commentary on the watering place system, with its attendant humbugs. You have heard of the Black Hole of Calcutta, and have probably read Hlorace Mayhew's “London Labor and the London Poor.” Indeed, you may have glanced over the made by the legislative committee last winter, when the landiords of the tenant houses received such a stirring up. They were bad enough, but our faghionables may learn to feel for the poor by comparing what is given bere for two dollars a day, with what is given in the Rag Picker's Paradise ior two dollars per month. You should see the palatial abode of two young gentlemen, who, when at home, are accustomed to being decently lodged. It is a single room, about eight feet in height, eighteen in length, and twelve in width, with a small window. It is furnished ia the Puritan fathers’ style, with two queer old fash- joned bedsteads, with lumpy straw beds, two ten shilling chairs, two small washstands, with an ho- meopathic dose of water, gnd a cracked looking glass. The room is so smal! that we could hardly get our trunks into it,and our approach to it is ‘8 difficult as the advances to the Redan at Sebasto- pol. A careful appraisement of the furniture gives four dollars and a half as its value. We are cut off from the world, alieuated from society, and con- signed to the tender mercies of an elderly lady, with a forbidding countenance and a misanthropic turn of mind. I hada better bed at Lancaster, at the Tue- tonic Hotel, for two shillingr, than I get here for six shillings, But here [am presumed to be fashion- able. Ons abiding place is a sort of outwork to the great fashionable fortification, Congress Hall Hotel. I presume we are put here because we are young and single, and anything will do for us. With the re- signation of a marble saint we accept these quar- ters till we can get ou: of town. Circumstances compelled your correspondent to leave by the quickest route north from New York city. Taking an affectionate farewell of his favorite summer retreats—Hoboken, the Washington Parade Ground, and the end of the Collins dock, he was whirled out of town by taat curious instrument of torture, the Hudson River Railroad; aud here let me advise travellers for pleasure t » shun this method of conveyance. It is, indeed, two houra quicker than the boats, but what are two hours gained in time compared to the awful noise, the blinding dust, the thirst and the intense heat from which you suffer on the railway, You cannot enjoy the delicious river scenery in anything like comfort; you are continually reminded of the old monkish stories about the horrors of purgatory. The trip on the Hudson, with another on the line ‘of the Central Railway, satisfied me that in spite of the assertions of some of the New York papers to the contrary, the travelling season had commenced. The excursion public was with me. Ab! that dear, good natured, liberal, generous, prodigal excursion public! How it bleeds, and how it suffers! With what Christian resignation does ‘Ait allow itself to be plucked, plandered, bullied and @nubbed by all sorts of people, trom presidents of Tailway companies down to hotel waiters. How Pleasant the young women looked in their queer dust colored travelling dresses—with their novels and their diamonds—with toeir dear little gaiters wnlaced—with their curls all out of cari, and with little rivers of perspiration, dotted with islands of dust, flowing over their pretty faces. How morose ‘were their male protectors, who, cut off from to- bacco and brandy and water, sat buried in dust and covered with indignation. But Albany is reached at last, and, if it is a night train, we rest at Stanwix Hall, which is the hotel most frequented by railway travellers. It is a regu- lar railway house. Everything in it is ordered by the arrival of trains from the East, West, North or South. You can havea meal here at any hour of the day, from 5 in the morning till 11 at night; and they will give you something good to eat and a good place to sleep. The charges are moderate—two dol- lars per diem. From here we are obliged to go one hundred and fifty miles on the Central Railway—a most uncomfortable, dusty and badly managed con- cern. Its trains are, however, very long and very fall just now. The way business is immense, and the travel to Niagara Falls is also heavy. As an by paseengers falling between them. The inven- tion was kept on while the weather was wet and the travel light, but as soon as the road became dusty and the summer ravel set in it was taken off, for : i ft 3 i ! i ‘l i 5 F iige ee Hi ft Hi i ati ie : 3 rr Es 33 if He i _ : f ay i i : ¢ : F i i E if Hy i i i 4 é di Hee 4 i : fait | : i i i # if i Hh i i i 3 H i F i pert fl j i i S3 nH i B 7 i i 2e% ' iy j if et “f a E i as et z 43 =3 Hl: fi 4 fs 52 i E, | REE Fe Fst i3f z i E tl es z i hr rH 54 ee y if AG : ; I i H . i ny ij F| A i Hi a Bic i i atte lit i ite { 1H i z 4 NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1856, = : i i i i i f i rife in ih Hh EA ae ae 3 is 3 f Ei rs sf rf FFF AL isk Be Fel i 4 e i Ee Fs g 4] Fad heaithy and invigorating merican snob 80 valuable a member of Ce ladies’ snob is preferable and bi snob.

Our Washington Correspondence, Wasarneron, July 28, 1856. The Brooks and Burlingame Affair—Our Relations with Spain—Southern Organization for Buchanan. Mr. Brooks has doubtless discovered by this time, that his reputation has not been bettered by the pub- lication of his last “card.” It is only about nine hours since the reading public of Washington have had before it Mr. Burlingame’s letter of reply; but even that time has been sufficient to indicute the strength of popular sentiment towards it. To say that Mr. Burtingame has to-day the best of the con- troversy is but imperfectly representing public sea- timent upon the merits of the belligerents as they ey stand towards each other on the principles of the code duello. Up tothe hour of writing I have net encountered the first man—and I have spoken with at least a bundred since Burlingame’s letter appeared—who do not promptly give to its author every honorable consideration which his statement of facts demand alike from friend or enemy. Duellists and non-dsellists declare Mr. Brooks a van- quished man. It seems almost impossible that this gentleman can rest in quiet with the many serious reflections and charges against him which are to be found in Mr. Barlingame’s reply. Just at present there is no other redress for Mr. Brooks than to issue another card, in which it is hoped that he may prove more fortunate than in his last.

Balloona, like railroad cara, do not wait for passengers. Mons Godard occ pied a cross suspended by two ropes, some fif- teen feet w the car of the balloon. While as- cending the first half mile he gave a series of daring gymnastics, one of which was to hang head down- ‘wards, Sg yp by a single foot upon the cross bar. He also suspended himself by one hand,and with the other displayed streamers, flags, &c. After these demonstrations of agility he climbed up to the car of the balloon and joined the company, who in the meantime had been distributing doouments, fans, displaying flags, making observations, &c. All this was intently watched by full 10,000 persons within the grouads, and probably as many outside, here and there. The balloon having reached an altitude, we should judge, of about half a mile, continued south-easterly, in the di over the harbor, at which time tt commenced descending with some rapidity, the voy- ager no doubt sug; as a landing as sible. Going to sea in a balloon may be roman- ic, buat the approach of nightfall it is not sate. The balloon descended on Deer Island about 74 o'clock, having first struck upon the water, and then bounded landwards. The party landed safely, though the balloon, as we learn, was weg? damaged. Mr. Mitcbel, son of Col. Mitchel, of the Long Island House, rendered valuable assistance to the swags and the characteristic hospitalities of Dr. Moriarty were dispensed with unstinted hands. The ascent, 4 The party returned at a late hour last =e highly gratified with their rial trip. Thus has Monsieur Godard squared him- self with a jealous public.
