By the arrival of the Hermano at this port aud the Baropa at Halifax we have news from Harope to the 26th ult., three days later than previous ad- vices. At Liverpool cotton was dull, but breadstutt’s had advanced in price. The money market con- tinued stringent. Consuls are quoted at 93}. There is & prospect of a speedy adjustment of the Prusso- Swiss difficulty. The difficulty betwoen Spain and Mexico appears to wear a more pacific aspect. News from Hong Kong to the 15th of March had reached London. The contractors’ storehouses at that port had been fired by incecdiaries, and the British steamer Queen, sailing under the Portuguese flag, had been captured by the Chinese, who murdered all on board. At Sarawak, Borneo, the Caincse | rose against the Europeans and killed several of them. Sir James Brooke, the English Governor, barely cecaped with his life. He sabsequeutly avenged the des'ruction of the settlement by attack- ing the town and slaughtering two thousand China- men. It is evident that no little difficulty will bo experienced in bringing the Chinese war to « con- clasion. The London Times counsels conquering a peace by hard knocks before attempting nogotia- tions, The Prussian government had addressed a strong remonstrance to our Cabinet on the subject of the plandering of emigrants from that kingdom by American “runcers,” and their impresameat in our merchant vessels by shipping merchants. A personal difficulty occurred at Washington yes- terday morning between J. McLeod Murphy, Civil Fagineer of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Mr. Danicl E. Sickles. Both are well known democratic poli- ticlans of this city. The particulars of the rencon- tre, together with the correspondence which has passed between the partios, are given under the tele graphic head. Oar correspondent in Bermuda, writing on the 234 ult., says that the careful and quick system of observed by the House of Assembly af- forged much sa isfaction. The onion crop promised to be very fine, but heavy rains and bad storms had rendered the appearance of the potato fields, planted late, leas promising. On the 15th ultimo the Drome- dary bulk, lying st Hamilton, was struck by light ning. ‘There were a large rumber of witnesses examined yesterday in the Bond street marder case. It can hardly Le said, however, that anything now was elicited. The question of the marriage of Mrs. Can- ningham and Dr. Bardeli seems to have been left altogether out of the case, as well a# the improper intimacy between ber and Mr. Eckel. The case for the prosecation is not yct through.

A great deal of the news which has recently reached us about the depredations committed by the Indians in Tows sd Nebraska is bambog, and was got ap, no doubt, by agents of some of tho Rasvern emigrant ald societies for the purpose of frightening emi- giants from thone sections, and to induce them to settle in the other Western & ates and Territories, The Commissioners of Emigration met yes‘erday, bat did no burizess worth reporting.

A very interesting session of the Academy of Medi- cine was beld last night, at which Dr. Wynne, of Baltimore, made @ communication, and gave other proote with respectto the Nadovsl Hotel disease, proving, beyond al) doubt, that the disease originated solely from putrid exhalations. We refer to this important report in our columns, The case of the United States against the schooner Merchant, seized as an clleged slaver, was again postponed to Thursday (this @ay). Ax tho case is before the Grand Jury, it ls not likely it will become | 8 subject of investigation before the Commissionor. ‘The case against the paities charged with serving on board the same schooner was also postponed to this morning. Some of the tranks seized on the al- Jeged slaver Elien were searched at the Marshel’s | office, bat there was nothing discovered in them to indicate the intention of a slave voyage.

NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1857—TRIPLE A deaperate affray occerred at the Girard House yreterday morning, between Morrissey, the pugiist, and 6 friend of hie nawed Patterson, and the waiters of the establithment. Pistol shots were exchanged, and knives were brought into requisition, but neither cf the combatants received any dangerous wounds. Theaflsir will be investigated by Justi ve Convolly to-day. The argument of counsel in the oase of the Mayor egain.t the new Police Commiscioners was oon- cluded yesterday. A full report may be found elses bere. Judge Russell, in his obarge to the Grand Jary yesterday, in the Court of Beasions, demonstrated that crime had not increesed in New York daring the last ten years, and that in proportion to the strength of the police force we are bettor protected than other cities. There had been heavy rains in Louisiana and Als deme for s2vers! days previous to the dt instant, which it was feared would cause great injury to the crepe. *, The receipts of beef cattle during the past week amounted to 2,923 head, showing a decrease of 369 heed as compared with the week previous.

We received yesterday « telegraphic despatoh om Lecompton, Kansas, etating tiat “the free State leaders in Lawrence had addressed a letter to acting Governor Stanton, offering to vote at the coming election if certain conditions be complied with,” and that the acting Governo: “bad replied in a very etringent letter, decllaing to go behind the law.” The terms proposed were, we presume, those mentioned io our recent newspaper reports as having been submitted by Gov. Robinson in a late speech of his at Law- rence, viz.: that the free State party shall be allowed an equal number of the oensus takers and clection judges ia reference to this approach- ing Jane election. Now, this proceeding is ia keeplog with all the other proceedings of beth the prowlavery and the anti-slavery parties in Kansas slnoe the inavguration of Mr. Buchanan. The pro-lavery perty and the notlavery party in Kansas are each resolved, at all hazards, to secure the offices and epoils incident to the admission of a new State, and tbat Mr. Bucbanan shall be held respon- sible for the consequenses, We are seriously spprehensivo, therefore, of a more bloody re- enactment of the bloody scenes of last sam- mer in Kansas before the coming summer is over; and this apprehension is sirengthened with every sueceeding batch of news from the disput- ed territory. How etonds the case? What was the condi- ion of this Kansas queetion when Mr. Bachanan entered upon his official duties in the White House? Through the treacherics, doublo deal- ings and miserable trickeries of poor Pierce on the one hand, and from the criminal neglect of Congress on the other hand, resulting from the sectional wranglings between s nigger worship- pivg Hovse of Representatives and a nalgger driving Senate, Kansas was passed over iuto the hends of Mr. Buchanan in the most shamnefal, shabby and ragged condition. It was the legacy | of Pandora's box to the new President, with the lid open. He found the Territorial laws of a bogus Legislature, which had been dcaoanced by Gen. Case ic the Senate as “a disgrace to the civilization of the ago,” left hy Congress in fail operation—he found that none of the causes which bad ripened {ato the civil war of last eummer bad been touched by Congress; aud thus Mr. Bachanan was compelled to accept this thankless legacy from a corrupt and faitrless President aod « faithiess Congress, and make the most of it. Mr. Buchanna is thus, we eay, compelled to | deal with thie Kanser eutanglement aa he fiads it. Powerlcas to enpersede the bogus Legislature powerless to touch any of its bogus laws —they remain, 66 by the coneent of Congres, the living | Jaws of the Territory, and # part of tho cata- logue which the President ie sworn to see faith- fully executed. We must say, therefore, that Mr. Stanton, in refusing the overtares of com- | promise from the free State party, bas oaly doae that which he could not avoid. He has no power to go behind the law—he must take it and a4- minister It s# he finds it. Thue the proedavery party have nine poinie of the law, which is pos. sereion; while the free State party claim to have nine-tenths of the legal residents of the Torrito. ry, and fall back from all these local laws apon the eupreme law--the constitution of the United | States. Thus we have prerented to us the perplexing anomaly of @ justifeution of both the pro-slavery party and the free Elate residents, The former ttand by the local laws and authoritles, as re- | cognized by Congrees; the later upon their ia- slienable rights, onder the conetitation and tho organic Territorlalact. What, then, can we ex- pect, considering the violent hostility existing Jxtween the local nigger worshipping and nigger driving party leaders, bat an early renewal of Jast commer's bloody disturbances? Tho free Stote party will have nothing to do with the Jane cleetion, There need be no warlike outbreak, therefore, on thet ocension; but the freo State men propeso an active civil orgnuizstion of thelr own, and should they carry it forward to public: me: tings, conventions and elections, we may expect to find them attainted as rebels; and tour from one step to another aa aggravated aad | ealerged repetition of all the bioody coliisions of Dest scunmee Ta the meantime, tho scheming outside dome soguce, Novth and South, whose calculations for the Pretideocy are founded on a sectional agita- tion, arm fomenting, in every poselile way, the spirit of sectional dircord ia Kansas, The matin Object with them is to keep this wouad open, and to keep Kaneas “bleeding” for their eeotlonal 624 coifish purposes in the campaign Of 1860. As fer wa tlavery in Kanens is concerned, wr consider the question already settled. Kaneng wey be introduced, but she caunct exist for three years as a slave Stute, Taore are not, prhape, oae bundred negro slaves located ia the Tertitory; nor is it likely another huo- dred witl be taken tbere, even from Miseoari, to compete with white Yankee labor in raising «heat aod coro, while s good stout nigger cou mands fifteen havdred dollars in Loutsiana, and cotion cells at thirteen counts a poand. The main objeot with the nigger worebipplog aud nigger driving politicians ta the Territory, and with the Preeidentia’ demegogues oatside, is t» keep opra und inflame the Kunsaa agitation till 1860— cothing more, Satisfied, however, that the President will do all that be can to allay this Kansas excitement and to preserve the peace of the Territory in the interval to the meeting of Congress, we feel as- sured that by next Deoember he will submit such emphatic, popular and just recommendations to Congress upon the subject, as will speedily result insilencing the nigger worshipping and nigger driving agitators, and in the permanent settle- ment of this Kansas trouble to the satisfaction of the whole country. Our Foreign Policy as Should Be. The rejection of the DallasCiarendon treaty by the Britich Cablnet at the present juactare is one of the most fortunate occurrences for us that could possibly happen. It will enable Mr.-Ba chanen to get rid of that standing anomaly is our foreign relations—the Clayton-Bal wer treaty —aad to correct the great mistake of Marcy ia his reply to the Frouch and British Cabiacts on the four propositions of the Conference at Paris. The Clayton Balwer treaty has been ao entang- ling alliance from the day of its inception, In stead of conducing to the good relationship of the two governments, it has been a cont:nued source of bickering and contradictory interpreta- tion, marring the barmony that should exist be- tween the two Cabinets, and jarring harshly upon the continually increasing good feeling betweon the American and British people. Tue trath is, we want no treaty stipulations between us, As soon as theee are Jaid down a constant fear arises that one or the other party will get more than its fair share of the advantages, and thro is created a perpetual effort to cheat one another. A new tie bas been discovered between nations and govern- mente, avd one that has been pat in moat success ful practice between Great Britain aad France. Good relationstip during good behavior is now the rule in the political world. ‘The successful manner in which this new and wise theory has been acted upon by France and England during the recent arduous contest, and more recently during the manifold negotiations that have followed the establishment of peace, is an unanswerable argument in favor of its adop- tion. - No treaty stipulations could have pro- duced that happy co-operation between those t wo great Powers—no treaty-stipulated co-operation could have produced so little mutaal complaint ashes been seen for the last few years between the Cabinets of St. James and St. Cloud. The same practice is the only one that can operate harmoniously between ourselves and the Powers of Earope. In fact, we have had no serious diffi- culty with any of them, except where we have tried to confine each other's courss by treaty. Another source of future evil to us is the great mistake of Marcy in bis reply to the propositions ot the Paris Conference. Itis all very well to talk about doing away with privateering if other nations will give up the right of capture of pri- vate property on the oceaa. But such a stipula- tion between one pation having an immense mer- cautile marine and little or no navy, aod one with an immense navy and commercial fleet, is | pure folly, ualees the right of blockade is also | given up. So long as the right to blockade our | ports exieta, tho privilege of freedom from cap- | ture to our ships would be nugatory, auless our navy could cope with that of our belligerent, aod | secure free egress and ingress to our ports, Under these circumstances there is but one course for Mr. Buchanan to pursue, and we hope | that, rising superior to the petty prejudices of the occasion, he will seize the favorable junctare and place our foreign policy on the high ground where it should stand. Futangting alliances and treaties are only the fruitful cause of war. This fact is demonstrated by the history of all inter- course between civilized nations Every colli- sion between them has grown out of treaties, Let us accept, thon, with pleasure, the rejection of the Dallas-Clarendon treaty, and send back | to England the Clayton-Bulwer mistake, with the message that good friends need no written com- prets or pen and ink boundaries to their rule of | condnet. Leave the cultivation of good relationship to the people of both countrica Thoy will do it fur more skilfully and far more successtully than | the‘t.iost experienced diplomatisi# can ever do. | Should the interests of the two nations require co-operation, the men of State can then follow in | the wake of the people. That they will do this is abundantly evident from the tenor of the pab- | lic speeches delivered in (he late electoral can- vare in England, and the glow of satisfaction with which Lord Napier’s recent co operation epeech was received here, In the conduct of the | late English canvass the spokesmen of all par ties—consorvatives and liberals, Pevlists and re- | formers—have vied with cach other in expres | sions of good will to the United States, and of a desire to cultivate amicable relations with us | The people of England sill admit of nothing else; and the same feeling has grown up in oar midst, whatever demagogues and petty pollti- cians, who think we ore still living in the era of ‘76, moy ray to the contrary We have one word to say in relation to Lord Napier's co-operation speech, which we have not said before, av it might Lave hen misinterpreted a9 a reflection upon a young and we hope a rising diplomatist. His discourse on that occasion was evidently intended more for the American people than for the gentlemen who foed at the mahoga- py of St. George; aud when these cheered eo lustily his invitation to us to co-operate, they on- | doreed bis words with a hoarty approbation. Ia accepting that invitation to co operate for the extension of the benefits of Kuropean civilization © the swarming Bet, we understand that there is a reciprocal tender of co-operation for the er tension of our beneflecnt influcnes aleo, Alroady have Texas, New Mexico, ond California accepted that influence, and under ita shield are pouring their mighty #treame of wealth lato the lap of @ worldwide commerce.

Yesterday. colored the third day’s procecdings in this celebrated case. The first day was coa- tumed in the work of empaanelling a jury—to that there bave been but two days spat as yet in the taking of testimooy. The witnesses exomined on the first day were De. Francis, Haa- bab Coolan, (the cook,) Mrs, Stansbary, (the lady to whom the house 31 Bond street was aboat to be rented the day of the marder,) John Bar- chell, (tbe Doctor's boy,) Mary Donoho, (the chambermaid ) and Dr. Main, De. Main's exami- nation was concluded yosterdsy, and besides him the prosecution cxamiloed Mr. Daniel ULl- mavn, who had bad apartments in the house, Mr Baldwin, officers Davis and Moore, Capt. Dilkes, Assistant Coroner Connery, Sdas C. Her- ring, (the eafe manufactarer,) Dr. Wilson, War- ren Leland, Dr. Parwalee, Edwin H. Stone, (a clerk of the Lafarge House,) Danicl Olney and Wiliam H. Butler, (in reference to the pateat lock on the outside door,) John H. Thompson, and Dr. Woodward, one of the medical gentle men who made the post mortem examination. The Dictriot Attorcey, ia opening the vaso, laid etzces upon the following pointe :—Taoat the charactor of the injuries inflicted on Dr. Bur- delle person ovinoed that they wore the work of a fiendish woman, carried away by the pas- sions of hate and revenge; that they were the act of a leftbanded womau; that Mra Cunningham was left-handed; that she was the only pereon in the world who had a mo- tive for Doctor Burdell’s death; that ehe had the very day of the murder said to one of hor domes- tics that Dr. Burdell might be a corpse before the houee was let or the lease signed; that she had informed herself by inqairy of the probable hour of the Doctor's return on the eveniog of the murder; ‘hat part of the bloody clothes nad been burned in the attic room; that the disagcesable odor proceeding from them had been noticed by several persons; and that the agitation of Mrs. Cunningham on being informed of the murder of Dr. Burdell, was merely theatrical and feigaed. In reference to the first poiat—as to the wounds having been inflicted by a woman, and by a left- banded woman—Dr. Francis, (a patriarchal look- ing gentleman, and one of our most venerable citizens,) expressed the opinion, though not posi- tively, that they were ioflicted by a person hav- ing a certain degree of anatomical knowledge; that some of the weunds required a considerable degree of force to inflict; and that though he had at firet formed the theory that they had been in- flicted by a left handed person, ho had abandoned that theory from the utter ancertainty of verify- ing it, and fcom ite verification depending nearly altogether on the relative position of the partie. One of the domestica thought that Mra Cuoningham was a Icft-handed person from the fact of secing her use her fork at meals more than she did her knife, but whenever she had seen ber carve she had held the knife in her righthand. Doctor Thonapson, on cross-examination admitted that the wounds were remarkably accurate, but thought that fact might be atiributed to accident. Toat is all that there is of importance on that point. ‘The threats by Mra, Cunningham against Doo- tor Burdell were testified to by Hannah Conlan, the cook, the boy Burchell, Doctor Wilson and officer Davis, The first swore to hearing Mrs, Cunningham say, a considerable timo before the murder, that she would have revenge of the Doo- tor, for he had injured herself and her family; and alo that on the very evening of the murder Mra, Cunningham, in reference to the intended letting of the house next day, said that tho Doctor might not live to let the house or sign the lease. ‘The first threat hase certain explanation in the fact that at tho time of its utterance she was about tocommence her suit againt the Doc- tor for breach of promise of marriage, and might have bad reference to that. The second hasa certain degree of doubt thrown upon it, from the fact that the witness, althongh twice examined before the Coroner, did not allude to this threat. Tho boy’s evidence is that of a threat by implication, in that Mrs, Cunningham remarked to him in referenceto the Doctor's tem- per, that he would get over his passion in three or four days, The threat made in the hearing of Dr. Wilson waa, that he (Burdell) would learn to behave himself before he left the house; and that testified to by offlcer Davis was, that, in the presence of Dr. Burdell, she told him (the officer) that she would have bis (Burdell’s) heart's blood. That, we believe, is all the evidence in reference to threats, The only piece of evidence bearing on motive that the Judge has so far allowed to be offer- cd is that of one of the domestica, whom she told that the Doctor was jealous of her (Mrs Cunning- ham's) intimacy with Eckel. Tho evidence in reference to her ascertainment of the bour at which Dr, Burdell aud Mr, Ull- man would respectively return on the night of the murder Is furnished by the testimony of Mr. Ullman, of whom she made such an inquiry, in reference to her having « fire in his room; and that of Mr. John H. Thompson, who had called at 31 Bond street in the afternoon of the fatal day, and who heard Mrs, Cunningham say to the Doctor, a8 he was sbout to leave the house, “Harvey, what time will you be back?” or, “Harvey, where are you going?” There is a good deal of testimony In reference to the disagreeable odor noticed in Bond stroet that night. Some portions of the testimony oo that poiat are not so positively given as to what it seemed to proceed from as other portions are. Dr. Parmelee, whose evidence on this point is most adverse to the accused, acknowledged on his crom-examination that bo had noticed » diengrceable odor in the street as carly as nine o'clock that night, which odor he attribated to the burning of soap at a soap factory there, These, we belleve, are all the mlicnt points that have been illustrated by the evidence so far, with the exception as to whether Mra. Cun- ningham's agitation and excitement when sho | beard of the marder was theatrical and feigned, or was real. The princlpal witners on this point | is Dr. Main, and he testified that her daughter Helen was iyiog on the bed in an uamistakeable ryncope or fainting fit, and that as Mra Can. ningham did not offer to render her any assiet- ance, it muat have been beeanse she was incapy bile of doing #0. The witoces Farrel bas not yet been examined. Tiow. Ropent J. Waker Bavaxive ovr INA Frean Piace.—We publish to-day, from an ob- eoure democratic journal, a leading editorial oa ‘Englich aggressions,” which, from its earmarks, we attribute to the verantile and communicative pen of the Hon. Robert J. Walkor, the receatly appointed Governor of Kansas, This is curious; and bow does it happen that while the real Go- vernor of Kaneaa ia in Now York, donounolng the Olibuatering ueurpations of England in the news- papers, and getting himself paffed up aan great man by the Sachemsa, Sagamoros and other sava- ges of Tammany Holl, bia acting Governor is, reading Hiawatha to the Yankee squnttersand speculators on the Kansas prairies, Is Mr. Walk- er going to Kaneas. or does he intend to leave his Seoretary of Stste to boar the brant ef the June election? Certainly Robert can’t expect to be made President for making Kansas a slave State on paper, if Frederick does the work. Robert sbould go to Kantas or resiga in favor of Frede rick—that's all. The Licentiousness and Linmorality of the Boston Preas—P rostitution of the Theatre, ‘Time was, and that not very lowg ago, that the people of Boston claimed a pre-cmicent moral position and had their claim allowed. No presses bewailed more pathetically the Lorrible condition of the stray New Englanders who were #0 heart- hardened a# to prefer this Sodom (o their native places—ao pulpits were more savage fa their de- nunelations of the lusts of the world, the flesh and the devil than those of Boston, The city is covered with a complete network of laws and or- dinances—the people are governed, legislated, educated and moralized to the most distressing extent. Knowing ali this, we have been a tile sur- prised to find that this fair oity,eupposed to be entbroned upon her trf-mountain pinnacle of vir- tue, morality and religion, has lately fallen back into the pestiferons marshes of vice, iniquity and licentiousness—that the press has boea foremoet in urging the people into the pit—that the robes of the preacher are not unstained—and that the thea- tre, which always rises or falls with the moral taste of the community, has likewise becomo tho arepa wherein provtitution is deified, while all Boston falls down and worships a coarse pictare of a Parisian strumpet, O, Jerusalem! how art thou fallen! It iscurious, if not edifying, to read the Bos- ton journals for the past day or two. In one co- lumn we find a detailed report of most diagusting evidence in a suit for divorce, and in another the language is exhausted in a search for panegyrics upon an actrees whose only claim to notoriety lies in the fidelity with which she represents the profligate life and miserable death of a French courtesan. This actress appeared at a moral “temple of the drama” in a moral city, on Mon- day lact, as “Camille,” and straightway we find the moral journals breaking out in a strain of praise a little more absurd, if possible, than the efforts in the same line of come of our contemporaries in this city. She haa, says one critic, “true gealus—a face full of intellectuality, soul and expressiveness; she astoniehed and electrified her hearers, throwing around the character a naturalness (?) and beau- ty (7) rarely witnessed. During the last eceno the awful silence remained unbroken for some minutes, nothing being heard but the melancho- ly eubducd harmony frem the orchestra! !” That's good! Another journalist was so terribly cut up by the last scene that he had ewelling of the heart, quivering of the lips and intense ac- tion upon the Iachrymal glands Another wri- ter thongtit he was looking at something very wicked and suggests mildly that it is not exactly the correct thing. The rest labor to make pret- ty pastoral stories out of the plot, and to prove by analogy that French prostitutes are really very nice, Iiberal, generous, magnanimous, amia- ble, self denying, self-eacrificing perzons, who are suffering under a social ban which should be removed at onoe. It really appears as if the Boston people had ‘become eo far sunken in filth that they never could emerge from it. For the past six weeks the journals of that city have been crowded with the most disgusting details of crime—details which the press of no other city would dare to publish. First, the Kalloch case—then the Dal- | ton divoreé euit—then two or three trials for Tape—every nasty developement being carefully retained for the delectation of the family circle, and each case going beyond the other in beast- liness, each paper rivalling the other in hunting | up new and “rich” evidence in and out of coart; and now the scenes of the court, the brothel, the prison and the hospital are reproduced with every attention to scenery and costames upon the stage of the “lofty Academie.” Tne immoral drama is brought forward just as the pablic ap- petite is becoming satiated with the drama of real life and the actress fans the living flame. the old Puritan spirit lett in Boston, and that the well read and well bred people of thet city look upon these occarrences with the disgust which they must excite in the minds of every good man snd wo- man. But the record still shows that the majo- tity inclines towards the nasty stuff which is served up by the journals and the actora The scenes now going on in Boston remind us of the ancient days when women of the town were chosen as the representatives of the goddessesa— when the Axpasias and Messlinas ruled mighty empires—when the fascinations of Lais were more popular and more profitable than the elo- quence of Demosthenes. We should not be sur- prised to see the farce of the Reign of Terror re- enacted, with a slight change In the cast. Instead of # strampet borne in procession, as the God- dess of Reason, the Bostonians would exalt a third rate actress, who finds her fame and dollats in representing the follies and vices of the lowest of her sex, as the type of all that is pure and noble in one of the highest of the arts If the ghost of old Cotton Mather, whe laanch- ed forth fire, brimstone, and all the torments of the damned against the young men who kimed their fiane‘es on Sabbath evenings, coud rovisit tho descendants of his parishioners, road their jour nals, vielt their court rooms and «it on the benches of their theatre, what an awful fate would he predict for the degenerate Athenians, It would require more than seven good mon to mve the tri-mountain village from tho fate of the cities of the plain.

Although there is po great denger that any one who has sufftred a season at Newport or Saratoge will ever go to eithor of thore places again, exsept as a matter of form, yet, as there is a new fool born every dey, and as our people feel rather rich this year, and must go somewhere during | the eummer, there will be quite a compeoy of | innocent people who belleve that'they oan pass ,& month or two pleasautly and comfortably i within sight.of the Congress Spring or Aquidaook ' beach.

The hotels are badly built wooden shanties—the best rooms are inferior to those of an ordinary tenement house in this city; the meals are served after the game fashion that the animals are fed in a country menagerie, while the charges are exorbitant in the extreme. In che first place, there is the per diem rate equal to that of a firet class hotel: next, if you hope to get avy- thing fit to eat, you must pay from the cook through the head waiter down to the servant de- tailed to stand at your section of the table, if you have Interest enough to procure 8 good seat.

They fill all the promenades and elbow quiet ing out quiet places in the mountains or by tke sea side; otbers, who prefer gaioty and excitement, will join in the summer immigration to Earope— pass a mouth or two in Paris and spend the same time in travelling through Germany, visiting the celebrated spas. There the hoteis are much bet- ter than in America. We remember the Hotel de Rassie at Baden-Baden, which is kept in the French style by Mr. George Jung. It is as ele- gant and commodious as 4 private residence, while at the fable d'hue each dish is served sepa- rately to each person, so that there ean be no favoritism by feeing the servants, aud one may dine os comfortably asin his own apartment At all these watering places amusements are pro- vided for all tastes; aod although they are whe resort of half the gamblers and roués, yet theee perrons are obliged to deport themselves out- woidly as gentlemen, while good breeding, atonce extinguishes the snob and the parrenus, There are many other considerations which favor a European trip, which have recommended themselves to thousands of New Yorkera, We have now several lines of European steamers ad- | ditionel to those rucning last year, and they all go out full, even at this carly period in the sea- eon, The sorew ehips which oar Philadelphia friends could not support, have every berth taken; the Fulton line is filled for a month head; the Vanderbilt carried out over two han- dred passengers; and the travel this yoar will be very much greater than at the time of the groat exhibitions, The cost of a trip to Europe in mo- ney is not much greater than a sojourn at Sare- toga or Newport, while the ses voyago is eml- neptly bealthfal, pleaeant and safe, But whe ther you visit the German spas or not, by all means avoid Saratoga and Newport.
