The sojourners at the Catekills are gathering in flocks, lke swallows, preparatory for a fight to more congenial regions. Those whobave spent a long vacation at this mountain palace are beginning to break camp and fall back upon the cities—their dust, their labors, and their indoor amusements, which, see by the columns of the Henan, are to be op an extraordinary scale this season. ‘The weather here, though we are up in the clouds, conti- uues very delightful, not # bit teo cool even for a mooa- light promenade upon the fine piazza overlooking four States and any number of mountains, from Vermont to the Highlands of the Hudson.

The Beach at Bath—ts Propinquity o New York—Thriving Prospects of the Village—Barney Williams and His Wife—Accommodations in the Hotel—The Residences of Bath— Dances, Fishing and Sport Generally, dc , dc, Among the really pleasant resorts in the immediate vicinity of New York is Bath. It is so easily reached, gad when reached is so quiet and pleasant, that one here in- stantly forgets the troubles of business and throws dull care away. Bath is notable for many things in general, and for one thing in particular. It bas s beach which, reaembling in ite semicireular curve thet at Newport, evon surpasses the one at that famous watering place for its shelvy,” smooth surface, which, for bathing purposes, is safe for ladies, and even children, when alone and unprotected. So far as I can learn, a fatal accident has nover occurred here. Lying, a8 Bath does, betwoen the projecting points of Fort Hamilton and Coney Isiand, it has all the sweep of the southerly breezes, and affords a more picturesque view of the lower bay than any other spot onst of the Narrows. As is pretty well known, among the residents at Bath is Barney Williams, the Irish comedian. By hie acting Barney bas managed to lay up a few pennies, and having done #0, he Iaid out a few in the purchase of a little Glances from Bright Fyes—Disproportion of Males and Females—Ezciting Fishing and Sharking Bxpedition— Description of the Mode Observed—the Decline of Nan- tucket as a Trading Place, dc., de. “ Nantucket is an isiand, O1'" Mariner’: Bong none offer to the pleasure seeker @ happier combioation of attractions than the Island ef Nantucket, More, far ‘away from the smoke and dust, the turmoft and busy strife of your “pent up Utlea,”’ the tired denizen of the town may forget tho cares and excitements of bis bustling evocation, from which he is separated by « “« waste of waters,"’ and gain « new lease of life from the pure and invigorating sea breeze that comes in ali hours of the day and night. He will experience new and de- lightful sensations cach day of bis sojourn here, and will take leave of the island with regrets. To those who have never visited this island its aams only suggests the whale and its capto-s—tho weather-beatea ship, and the hardy class of scamen that man ber, endure the hardships, meet and escape the dangers, and reap the rich rewards of their avocation. But Nantucket has other attractions to offer than those which draw to ber hospitable shore the curious sightseer or the merchant. ‘The disciple of Isaac Waiton finds a field here for the exercise of bis particular weakness on the waters that surround the isiand, which are thronged with blue mackerel, bass, sword Osh, ae, aod, in Cage “ebanty ,” ag be calla it, but which is really fit for the Prince lee of the’ genus piace. the of Wales, While I have been stopping at the hotel— shores covered with green headed plover, snipe, ducks, which by the way is much patronized by the betier class , and every variety of marine fowls. , riding, fethicg of the tribe of Moses from all parte of the o , “equantumipg,'’¢ ¢, clambales, chowder try, aad pment by Mr. Frank Winchester—I have met | tis, &c , will pleasantiy occupy the time, and keep at a Barney Williams often.

The recent advices will probably check shipments, theugh the check will, in ali probs- bility, only be temporary. The excess over last year is Bow equal to $17,200,000—over thirty-three per cent—and there are no signs thus far of any cessation of the movement. Wo have by telegraph from Cape Race two days’ later news from Europe. The British funds are quoted firm at last figures; cotton also is firm; breadstaffs are dull. The news with regard to the harvest is very satisfactory. The weather had im- proved, and farmers were gaining hope. We need not repeat at length what we have so often said— that an improvement in the British harvest isa matter of rejoicing here. There are shortsighted aad ignorant people who fancy that a short harvest ia England is » gain to the United States because it puts up the price of breadstaff, which we export. These persons forget that for every bushel of wheat sent to England there are six or eight or ten con- sumed in this country, and that every advance of a cent @ bushel is so mach the more extracted out of the American consumer's pocket; that cheap food iy the life of trade and industry, and dear food a death blow to both; that short harvests in England check the consumption of American cotton, and distarb the money market, not only in Europe, but in the United States; finally, that every crop that is lost is so much property actually | taken out of existence, and a reduction pro tanto of the world’s capital in trade for the time being. | Persons interested in the Western States are some- times heard to express apprebensions lest the re- covery of the British crops should prove injurious to the West; the course of the stock market proves that these views are entertained by not a few, ‘They are, however, baseless. The West will cents lower. They said the same when the price was $150; the same when it fell to $1 2%; the same when it fell to $1 10; they yet ve rail of to-morrow closed inactive, at our quota- tions of yesterday, say, for bankers’ bills, 100j for sterling, and 6.13} for france. It is rumored that some of the bankers are drawing against stocks. For two or three years the English have sent very little money here to be invested in stocks; the tide now seems to be turning. Pe eae of the stock market this morning was against the bulls and im favor of the bears. Im some stocks the recent advance has induced sales for the sake of realizing profits; while others sym- pathize with breadstuffs, and decline on the news from Europe. Among the latter may be classed Mlinois Central, Rock Island and Galena, all of which were lower to-day. Central was also a frae- tion lower, seemingly on sales by partics who had bought at lower figures and who thought it well te secure profits. The decline in Erie and Harlem was to be expected. There is nothing in the com- dition of these properties to warrant the recent a4- vance. The Harlem, as we noticed some time since, is not paying its interest; the Erie is perhaps earning its interest, but nothing more. Under Mr. Marsh the road is administered better than ever before; but no administration, however excellent, cam create business where it does not exist. People who buy these stocks do eo not because they have any faith in their value, but in the hope that othee speculators, more reckless than they, will hereafter take them off their hands at an advance, These remarks, it is hardly necessary to add, do net ap- ply to the Western shares, which either are, or are pretty certain to become, dividend paying pre- perty this fall and next winter; or to such stocks as New York Central, which will earn over8 per cent; or Hudson River, which will earn about 6 per cent on its stock this year. The business in State stocks continues light, and prices droop. Bonds are in moderate request.
