Americens are a travelling people, and this metropolis is the Mecca: where all the cara- ‘Sune of travel concentrate, Hence we must fave our caravansaries, numerous add well ap- pointed, and we huve them. Just at present, tco, all the hotele, from the monster St, Nicholas, Metropolitan, Astor and New York hotels, on Broadway, down to the smallest French aod Spanish botels in the side streets, are packed full ‘ot guests to overflowing. Ordinarily the ‘tall trade” eets in and fills the hotels about the last of August or first of September, but this year the botele began to be crowded three or four weeks ago, greatly to the gratification of the landlords, avd the rush of guests is now -described as altogetber unprecedented since the first year of the Crystal Palace excitement. ‘The St. Nicholas, capable of accommodat- ing eight bundred or a thousand guesta, was full three weeks ago, and the apart- ments are now engaged days in advance. Toe Metropolitan is ina similar state of pros perity, having ut present between four and five » dundred guests, aud having turned away for ‘want of room, duriog the past four weeks, as Many more. The Lafarge bouee, lately enlarged, ‘has bad, doring the past fortnight, three hun- dred guests, on an average, which isat least fifty mere tbun ever before at this season. The New York Hotel is in a like state of repletion, having ‘Ot present about five hundred guesta. Herete- fore the proprietor has considered the moaths of July aud August bis dullest season, but this year he is astonished at finding his hotel crowded. And eo all the down town hotele—the Brand- re'b House, Lovejoy’s, French’s, the Howard, the Pacific, Tammany, e id genus omne, tell the same story—more guests than they know what to do witb, though they do their best, and hundreds are turned away daily for want of room. A large proportion of the guests—ia some cases as many as three-fourths—hail from the Soutbern States, Cuba and South America. Many are strictly pleasure seekers, who have been, or are going, to the watering places and otber summer resorts; aud maoy more are mer- cbants and traders who have come to make their fall purchases of goods. Some of these, who ‘come from Southern cities, and stop at the first class hotels, combine pleasure with busiaess, bringing their families with them and spendiag a few weeks at Newport or Saratoga, The up town hotels, like the Everett House, Union Place, Clarendon, &c., will all be in a plethoric state as soon as the chill days of autumn shall begin to drive people away from the watering places, At present, although faller than usual ‘at this season, they are not crowded, as the traders do not geverally go so far above the buai- ness warts, The new mammoth hotel, just erect- ed at the junction of Broadway and Fifth avenue, is advertised to open this week, in good season for the retarn of our citizens from the watering places, and @ prosperous season is anticipated. The general opinion among hotel keepers is that the present rush will coutioue at least until snow flies; tout the Soutbern traders will be suc- ceeded by the Wes'ern—many of whom, indeed, have already arrived—ao that business will con- tinue to be brisk perhaps until October or later. The merchants avd importers are as much taken aback by this sudden rush, and the conse- quent increased activity of trade, as the hotel Keepers. The Soutberntrade is now fairly set in, end will soon reach its height. In past ‘years business hus thriven maialy in the fall and Fprivg, while the iong days of July and the shor Gays of January have been reckoned as dies non in which clerks wight count upon long furloughs, and sport their fice clothes and city airs in the freeb air of the country. But within a few years pest all this has been gradually changing, until now the fall trade and the epring trade are so nearly run togetber tbat it is hard to tell where ope ends and the other begins. The facilities of communication and transportation have become po great that the couutry merchant often makes two or three trips to the metropolis where he did ove formerly, and bays his goods as he has occa- gion for them. Yet there is a marked ebb and fiow of the tide, and all the aigns indicate a com- ing term of unusual prosperity in all branches of business; for the ioterweaving of interests ia our social system is suck that ope brauch of business cannot flourish without imparting proeperity to pilicrs, aud vice versa. For example, if the hotels are fall of guests—if the largest of them arecom- pelled to increase their gonual expenditures from balf to three-quarters of & million cach—the money goes into the pockets of our market men, our provision dealers uud our artisaus, avd so roportionably bencfits society in all {es various temifcations, Our wercbants aud shopkeepers, our places of amusement, oar manufacturers and artivans, in fact all classes, are patrouized aud encouraged by the influx of strangers, and io turn are enabled to offer still greater indace- ments and attractions for visiters to the metro- polis, and go proeperity begeta prosperity. The tendency is of course to general inflation, aud though crashes muet periodically come, let us at least put off the evil day as long as we can. Tue Scuvyier Fravos 1 Covet Acain—In- suxction Against THe New Haven Ratiroap Comrany.—It is now over five years eiuce the community was startled by the fotelligence that the head of one of the great financial firms of Wall atreet bad fled the country after having perpetrated frauds on a most gigantic scale. It was on the 3d of July, 1854, that Mr. Robert Schuyler thus absconded. He had been Presi- dent and trapafer agent of the New York and New Huven Railroad Company; and to the di- rectors of that company he left a note calling their attention to the stock ledger, where, he aid, they would find much that was wrong. A caretul examination of this ledger showed that #0 overiveue of 17,730 sbares (representing at per value $1,773,000) had been made. The question then arove as to who were to be Tespopsibie for this overissue of stock. The bolders bad purchazed it in good faith. The re- gujarly appointed agent of the company had is- sued it, If there was b'ame to be laid any- where, except at the door of the principal male- fuctor, it was to be aecribed to the Board of Di- rectors, who, by their lax system of manage- ment, had given facilities for the commission of the fraud. Besides, it was impossible to sepa- ya'e with any certainty the genuine from the spurious iesue. All bore the same marks of ge cuineness, apd were, up to the moment of the expoeure, treated by the compaay and their president as genuine. An arbitrary rale was adopted, which was to treat only as abeolutely:genuine that which was issued prior to October, 1853, although in the litigation tbat ensued testimony was given to show that the fraudulent issue commenced as early as 1848, and tbat in 1850 over @ thousand shares of fraudulent stock bad been issued. In this difficulty the courts of law were ap- pealed to. The bona fide holders of fraudulent stock could make no terms with the company by which their stock, purchased in good faith and from the legally authorized agent’ of the com- pany, would be recognized. After some years of litigation it was finally decided in favor of the company and against the interests of the holders of overieaued stock. The company bad, in the meantime, immedi- ately after the flight of Schuyler, employed ap accountant, Mr. George Holbrook, of Boston, to ascertain the amount of stock overissued. After this job had been completed he was required to sepsrate the genuine from the false. He agreed to make the attempt, but after a weck’s trial he found it impossible to effect a separation with ary certainty of correctness. Nevertheless, he was urged to persevere, and with what light he bad he made out a list of the stock supposed to be genuine, never supposing, as he saya, that his examination was to be final and conclusive. On this list,so made out, the directors have since acted, paying dividends to the holders of the stock therein comprised. It appears, however, that in 1856 Mr Holbrook, having conscientious acruples as to the correctness of the principle on which he had made the separation, entered into correspondence with the directors of the company, and was em- ployed to make another examination. He spent two months at it, and arrived at results very aif- ferent from thoge he had arrived at in the firet iostance. But being in the act of preparing a list of the genuine stock, in accordance with the last examination, he was told by the President that he might spare himself that trouble—they wanted no new list. These important facts have all come out in the course of proceedings that have been recently in- stituted in the Supreme Court in this county. Meeere. Underwood, the holders both of genuine and spurious stock, having ascertained that the jast examination showed results more favorable to them, have sued out an injunction to restrain the company from paying the semi-annual divi- dend just declared until it is ascertained what is and what is not genuine stock. On the applica- tion, an affidavit by Mr. Holbrook, setting out the facts we bave summarized, is given, The tem- porary injunction was granted, and to-morrow the defendants are to show cause why it shall not be made perpetual. Thus the whole subject of the Schuyler frauds is reopened. The fairest and only practicable way of settling the question justly was to have recognized all the stock issued by the authorized agcnt of the company. It may have to come to shat at last. A MeteEorotocicat Burnav.—The City Inspec- tor, we learn, intends to bring before the Com- mon Council at its next regular meeting an ap- plication for the creation of a Bureau of Meteo- rological Observations in connection with the Sanitary Department of the city. This bureau will bave for its objects the establishment of a eeries of thermometrical ranges, tidal staffs, rain guages, and all other matters appertaining to a collection of valuable meteorological facts and statistics, For years past we have been ina mengure dependent upon the records kept by private individuals for memoranda of this de- ectiption. In asanitary point of view such a bureau will be of importance as a means of in- stituting 9 comparison between the mortality schedules of each year. In Paris and London the utmost attention is paid to meteorological in dications, and the medical academies every- where on the Continent of Europe use these daily records in solving the mysteries which en- velope the causes of disease. With the excep tion of the occasional hydrographic examinations made in our harbor by the United States Coas: Survey, and which seldom find their way {ato the public printe, we are without other authori- ties on tidal matters than the almapac makers, As to rain guages, we have none in New York; and the public for years past have relied for an accepted knowledge of the temperatare of the air upon the records kept ina soda water shop in Wall street, The only objection we have, in common with other taxpayers, to this increase of city officials, is that it may cost too much to establish such a bureau. But if the City Inspector will limit his appointments to ecientiflo men, keep politics out of its orgunization, make the salaries modecrate, wod sey (uat his asstetugys do tucir duty, we gur- NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, W_YORK HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 18! 1859. toluly ¢hink bis Idea a good one, and will ear Bestly commend it to the public as a needfu! auxiliery to his already well regulated de partment. Tux Crowns ay FH8 Cenrnat Park.—The Scene presented by ta.” Central Park oa Seturday last affords » a tlsfactory indica tlon of the influence which 18+ institution is likely to exercise over the tastes und future habits of our city population, Vas am bers of persons who hitherto have had no iada"e ment to seek exercise snd fresh air, will be drawn to it by the variety of attractions which it will bold out. There is nothing more injurious to the bealth of a population than the excuses fur- nished to indolence by the absence of convenient places of recreation. It was to supply the atimu- lus thus required that the ancients encouraged public games, chariot races and contests of the athlete, From the immense crowds that are already at- tracted to the Park in its present unfiniahed state, some idea can be formed of its fature popularity. All classes, rich as well as Poor, seem to feel that it meets the prin- cipal want tbat bas been experienced in their reepective conditions. To many the advantages of wealth would be nothing without an opportunity for ite public display. The fact is not a creditable one, we admit, but it is not peculiar to our commucity. In the great cities of Europe there would be little inducement for the purchase of handsome equipages if there were not parks in which they could be shown off to advantage. The rivalry thus created has its benefits for the working classes. [t distributer» amongst them the wealth which would otherwise accumulate in the hands of monopolists, aad affords them in their turn leisure to enjoy the bleseings of the pure air and pleasurable recrea- tion provided by these parks. But there is another respect in which the Central Park is likely to contribate largely tv the future attractiveness and prosperity of New York. When the Crystal Palace of 1853 was opened here, it will be recollected that ir drew immense crowds of strangers to the city The botels were overflowing most of the time. and not only did hotel keepers, hut the generai trade of the metropolis, benefit to an incalcula- ble extent by the influx. If an attraction which was 90 purely artificial, and which had so mucb wtual humbug about it, was sufficient to overrun us in this way, what will be the result when the Central Park, with its natural beauties, its marvellous creations, its delightful prome nades acd drives, its throngs of fashionable eqaipagee, and its various other picturesque and animated features, will be within reach of enjoy: ment? Its effect, sooner or later, must be to re- volutionize what is called the fashionable sea- eon, and, asin London , to bring strangers to town in May and July. The thousands who come to tbe Northern watering places from the South ano West will prefer spending the summer months in New York, where in future they will find all the attractions that the European capitals can boast of. With a park which will be second to none in the world, the bathing fuctlities which we shortly hope to ece established, and summer amusements without end, they will have combined here all that the gryest of capitals and the moat delight- fal of watering places can farnish for amusement and health. With such prospects before us, it is gratifying to find that every possible exertion is being made to push on the works in the park. This fall one of the principal carriage dives through the full extent ofits area will be completed, and by the spring it is expeoted that another large addition will be made to the portion of the grounds already opened to promenaders. Croton Water ComMUNICATIONS—BRooKLYN Versus New Yorx.—Before the excitement in regard to the uppleasant flavor of the Croton water subsided we were deluged with commu- nications in regard to it. Sometimes we would receive a dozen in the course of the day, aasign- ing this, that and the other cause for it, and sug- gesting a variety of remedies. In the same way, when the Atlantio telegraph failed to work last year, and previously when the attempts to lay the cable had failed, we had scores of communi- cations suggesting the causes and remedies. We lesrn one thing, at least, from these communica- tions, and that is that the public mind of this community is always intelligently awake to all matters of public concern, and promptto discuss them in every possible connection. That is in itself something to be gratified at. If it could only be brought to bear on politics, so as to ia- ture us @ respectable and efficient municipal government, it would be so much the better. But we fear that in that line we are beyond re- demption. One of the latest and most noteworthy sug- gestions we have received in regard to the Cro- ton water is, that the excitement was pandered to and kept up by people owning property in Brooklyn, for the purpose of inducing some of our citizens to emigrate to the City of Churches, which is now able to boast of a water supply of itsown. A very ingenious suggestion, indeed, although it does not attempt to account for the primary cause of the excitement. We are afraid that our Brooklyn friends will have to hold out come better inducement than their Ridgewood water to win over many of our citizens. We would recommend them rather to persist in their agitation for acity park that will not be much inferior to the Central one of New York. Ridge- wood cannot win the day as against Croton. Let them now try a rivalry in the park line. Growts or Tam Crry.—In New York twenty years ago every promenader resorted to the Bat- tery; now the Battery has been abandoned to the “Philistines,” and all the promenadets go to the Central Park, which ig six miles further north.
