A few days ago we published an article descriptive of ‘hose who were conspicuous in our principal thorough- fares and the Central Park as carriage riders and eques- trians, and alluded to the increase in this field of public show which the Central Park and other improvements have developed. We endeavored to show the character- fstios and marks of individuality in this newly opened field of display, and although the practice of equastrian- Jem is somewhat new, not having been sufficiently long in " peration to develope @ conservative condition from which settled principles of taste and character could be looked for, yet, doubtless, there were many facts pre- sented which were novel and interesting to those who Bave not studied this new feature of metropolitan life. ‘The time is not very remote since horseback riding im the metropolis was confined to the valitudinarians, in wuffled robes, proceeding st a jog trot over our muddy and break-neck roads, ‘vice and’ daily prescription from old fogy physicians. Most of these exhibitions were ludicrous in the extreme ‘and afforded a never failing fand of amusement to the boys and mirth-loving citizens to be found on tha side- walk. Many of these performances of the old fogies al Juded t0, shaking like jelly upon the back of a hard trot: ting horse, quite equalled, if they did not , the eccentricity of Don Quixote om his favorite mare Rosi mante; and cocasionally there would be found some en- terprising citizen who, conceiving that riding on borse- pack was one of the performances which required no training, was willing to make a first appearance for the public benefit; but now, however, horseback riding Tuas beoome one of the arts and sciences. Schools have ‘been established even for the education of the horse, in which his paces are regulated, his temper cultivated and refined, and his whole brought to the highest degree of equine perfection; and our ambitious people, ‘ef every caste and degree, from the substantial merchant to the foppish dandy, have had developed a newly fired ‘ambition for the display of grace and form upon the back ‘of « thousand dollar horse. While every condition in life, from competency up- wards, bas furnished a liberal share of votaries to this new field of vanity and pleasure, aside from its healthful aspect, it is somewhat curi- ous tosee the degree of resistance and disapprobation ‘with which most of our old fashioned people view this practice, deeming it an extravagant innovation, and there may be seen in the Central Park, in the days of great display of gay equipages and costly horses, a large num- ber of our solid men, sturdily trudging on foot over the hillg, along the parade grounds and prominent show points, gazing with supercilious detraction upon the ex- hibition which our fast people make with blood, bone and muscle, patent leather and silver mountings. These old fellows are to be found in the directors’ rooms of our moneyed institutions and other places where credit is king, and many an aspiring man, flushed with his sfter- noon display with a pair of fast horses, has been snubbed next morning by these hard headed, plodding moneyed men for what in their judgment has tended to exhibit & too fast, extravagant and unreliable mede of life. Our description of ‘‘life on the road” gave to the” general reader an idea as to how a large class in our city spend their leisure bours, but leat our readers outeide infer that all New York in- @uige in the luxury of exercising horse flesh, we ‘will devote @ chapter to the marks and jal characteristics of another numerous class, modest and ambitious pedestrians. Those who are calculations; the records of the gatekeepers show that on ene or two Sundays 75,000 pedestrians found their way through the several entrances, and on Saturdays, besides the thousand riders, over thirteen thousand were known to ‘be exercising their legs om the broad walks or in the Ram- ble in one day, and taking the whole time during the ‘Wat four months, amidst rain, sleet, snow and sunshine, the average number of daily visiters to the Park on foot has been over four thousand five hundred; but as a mat- ‘ter of course this number embraces the very important element, n New York life—those who are unable to ride, ‘and must goon foot. But as in these times of panic and perilahowy turnouts must, like the Opera aad other foa- tures of luxury , collapse, and horges and riders come down. like dry goods and stocks, pedestrianism is likely to be— ‘at least as long as the South Carolina yoleano continues to pour fourth its lava, brimstone and fire—one of the most popular if not fashionable features of the Park and pro- menading thoroughfares. We will endeavor to farnish « brief description of the individnalities to be found a pied ‘In giving this peg ‘and ink sketch of the walking cba. acteristics which make up @ portion of our life andl individuality as a city, it becomes sary to take a glance at the ever throbbing Broad. way, and record a few of the noted points’ and characters, by way of illustrating the/ bustling life to be found there. It is a curious fact that mankind rarely Btudy with closeness or analyze the subjects which are ‘most closely within reach, and especially in a great city like ours, with eacb man deeply engaged in the engross ing objects of his daily pursuits, is that want of home ob. servation manifested, so that most of those o: our citizens who, when visiting some foreign city, weary their legs and grow ‘‘see sick” with sight seeing jn investigating the details of old cathedrals, monasteries | relics and rains; climbing wp into bell towers, diving down into catacombs and trudging through miles of Streets; gazing upon shops and people, yet scarcely ever ‘visit our own objects of interest, so numerous, varied and Sostructive, aud eapecially fail to observe the peculiar features and pictures presented in our great thorough fare, Broadway. Broadway has been « very instructive and curious fi to foreign touriets and travellers, and Dickens, Macka and others have furnished graphic sketches of the sight~ and scenes they haye witnessed in this street in the: transient visite here. But to those acquainted with ov: Civic history, and the antecedents of our people and the! peculiarities, Broadway furnishes a complex and inter esting study. This street operates as 8 sor! of a loadstone or magnet to all other par’ of the clty, and every one engaged in acti, pursuitd is at some hour of the day to be found in it. 1 js situated like the backbone of some huge animal, pre wenting the natural dividing line to which all other parts Dear proportion, or rather like the great heart of which the avenues and the principal streets are the arteries. and the lanes and alleyways and amall thoronghfares the ‘Veins of greater or less vitality. Its pulsations, throbs and excitements keep up the simile. Real estate is regu. lated by ite position in reference to this great highway, and the ‘west side, from ite accessible contiguity in this Tempect, haa always presented a much higher value for residences tham the straggling and rugged easterly sec tion which wanders away off into the East river, and is carried out of commmopolitan grasp. The period Of the day when our wold men-—bank pres dents, directors, insurance men, brokers and lawyers, a* ‘well as editors and mon on the staff of the several jovr nals of the city—may be seen wending their way to their various posta of duty ranges from about half.pact eight to eleven o'clock, Then there is a tail, and the la dies may be seen in full bloom, engaged in the — about twelve in of tight-fitting kid gloves, two too small for their bande, and in squeezing their into a pair of Prealin boote—parade their faded countenances for a little eun bine, and are to be seen monopolising the pare an clement in the individuality of our metropolitan life— namely, the distinctive characters who habitually resort to the chief hotels, public houses and other places of hu- man exchange along Broadway, and are to be seen as regular as the town clock notes the hours wending their way to their favorite resorts. Starting at the lower end of Broadway—taking, for instance, the Stevens House. ‘This has got to be the great place of resort for prominent Englishmen and Staten Island politicians—a curious com- bination. When Lord Napier was British Ambaasa- dor he made this hotel his headquarters when in the city—a practice which Lord Lyons has also imitated; sometimes, however, we believe, changing to the more aristooratio Clarendon. Th@ British Consul’s office is also adjoining, which no doubt serves to bring-out the John Bull aspect about thie region, and here may be seen at al) hours of the day, upon the stoop, in the reading room, barrooms, and especially in the din- ing room, where roast beef and plum pudding are insti- tutions, the blaff faces and robust forms of English sea captains and ship officers of various degrees in their uni- form, caps and buttons, giving a general aspect of rosy health to this entrance to the great thoroughfare of the city. Here may also be found Ray and Minthorn Tomp- kins, Captain Abe Simonson, Sam Frost and other active ‘Staten Islanders, discussing the important events which revolve around the world of Richmond county. Oon- spiouously on the front stoop may also be seen Nick Dimond—a politician of the First ward—with spectacles on his nose, speculating upon the mutability of political affairs and especially upon the new genus in political physiology, called “cow boys,” of which Tom Byrnes, who lives around the corner, is the chief philosopher. Passing from this point, the next object of attraction is the Astor House—the great republican headquarters of the Thurlow Weed school, besides being the conservative head hostelry of the old fashioned travellers who know the value of peacey quiet and comfort. Just about this time the Astor is as busy as ‘a beehive turning out \n the season of flower and honey. Here may be found Thurlow Weed holding busy council in room No. 11, with al! ‘he old chief counsellors and war- riors of the Seward faith. The front porch and steps may be found filled at all hours of the day with the ac- tive politicians from Albany—the southern tier, from the other side of the Cayuga bridge, big fish and small fish, including the gulls, pike, bullheads, minnows and other small fry that follow fw the wake of the whalo—Sim Draper as busy as a field marshal on the morning of the battle; Moses H. Grinnell as fresh, rosy and eager as an English squire about to set off ona hunt; R. M. Hiateh- ford, sober-looking and quietly contemplative since his marital exploits; James Bowen, earnest and energetic; Oakey Hall, his spectacles sagaciously glistening with the reflection of substantial prizes bofore his mind’s eye; Gen. Leavenworth, with one foot on sea and the other on shore, undecided whether to go or stay, and Rans, Van ‘YValkenburgh, of the republican ight artillery, doing ac- tive duty on the outskirts. The Seward-Weed politicians seem from their movements to be fully alive to their powers, and are prepared to neither beg nor bend to the powers that be for the favors which they claim of right, and are evidently prepared to come into power or go into exile with their chief. ‘The next important point is the St. Nicholas, which, dur- ing the racing season, is alive with the sporting men from all sections of the couatry, besides being run over in business seasons with merchants from North, South and West, and the drummers in hot pursuit of them; these classes pour out of that hotel, and march down Broad- way, and contribute to the walking kaleidoscope view of that strect, This is also the headquarters of the Albany Regency; and here may be found, at stated intervals, the Dean, with his assumed importance and haughty gravity, with Pete Cagger, dressed within an inch of his life; Parmele, Church and all the other joints of the serpent |. whith has strangled democratic life in the Empire State. ‘Their. draws to that locali@ a large number of ‘worshippers at the altar of the Regency, who hasten there to confees their sins and receive the latest bull of ‘the Dean. ‘Then we have the Metropolitan, which also has its dis- tinctive character; is the scene of the great Japanese demonstration; the place that Tommy made memorable and where the sum of one hundred and five thousand dol” Jars was made an important feature in our municipa Dudget. It is also the headquarters of Governor E. D. ‘Morgan and his satellites. Our next point of interest is the New York Hotel famous in its for ha’ been the were raised, and is resorted to by politicians and teavel- lors from the Southern States and Cubs. from thie hotel in political seasons may be seem 0 |, Gwin, Benjamin, Toombs, Robert J. and on tlie gory Brreatees ee seen during leisure hours of the day standing in front of the hotel, taking port views of the passing crowd of fashion and beauty, and are always pulling away at their segars and indulging in other fashionable laxuries, of which the Southern institution of chewing tobacco forms an important feature. politics and a leading-one in fashion. The Prinee of ‘Wales and Senator Douglas have been the distinctive fea- tures in those two elements at this hotel, the former the fashion and the latter political. There are many smaller places that might bo referred to as arresting the attention of those versed in the men ahd places of this creat highway of metropolitan life, wech as Florence's, where the chances of life are Jones, Sam McLaughlin, Bois, Rodon and other active exhibitors of horse flesh and admirers of the fine arts, assemble to talk over the speed und yalue of the several prominent nags; the Hone House, where Tom Hyer, Harry Felter and John Haggerty discuss the important events of the day; ‘Malta Saloon, where the worshippers of the Benicia Boy and the Malta democracy are seen wending their way when- ever there is any important qhestion on the tapis. Then we have the oyster cellars, fruit saloons, with barroome in the rear, where the ‘and hangers on about the thea- trea are to be seen imb{bing and discussing the drama and prospects of the stage, especially considering the last criticism im the daily papers. ‘These are some of the important points to be noted in navigating this great ocean of human life, passions and purposes. Lilee the lighthouses, capes, bays and places of shelter along our Atlantic coast, places where thie big ships find the lights that furnish them with the true | points of the compass, where the schooners can find safe anchorage, where the piratical craft are sheltered to cap- ture their prizes, and the little jolly boats and lighter craft find pleasant sailing and sure protection—so are theee the harbors and resting places for the classes re- ferred to, the magnet that controls the points of their eompass as they sai] down Broadway. Bat to return to the moving panorama—a little ob- servation will enable the analyst to detect the classes almost by the manner of their walk. The heavy, thought- ful and plodding financiers, bearing upon their shoulders the weight of an ‘Impending Crisis” without a “Helper,” the elate, confident and quick stepping republican poli- ticians, seenting the savory fragrance of the loaves and fishes of the new administration, and the bones of Lin coln’s Thanksgiving turkey; tke doomed and moody look of the retiring federal officers; the brusque, saucy and defiant manner of the nisi prius lawyer or the chamber attorney, the ponderous gravity of the judge, speculating over the decisions to be announced; the caay, devil may care, jaunty look and walk of the gambier who has had a succenafal turn at the carde; the listless, purposeless gait of the lonnging dandy, and the anxious tread of the poli. ticians of Tammany and Mozart Halla, bent on treason, stratagem and spoils, are all distinctive features to be found in one motley line of parade in the daily procession which passes before the eye of the observer. We have noticed, of late, that those bank presidents who signed the card just before election, announcing that pence, safety and prosperity were to be the sure result® of Lincoln's election, are amongst the earliest wending thetr way during the motning hours to Wall street and the business af the day. We {ind the republican lawyers also early on the ground these times. No doubt the addition of politioal duties, added to their professional, requires this carly attendance at their offloes, and each exhibit their dietinetive charne- eristics from the manner of his walk, These few prominent characteristics of the pedestria }if¢ in Broadway are all that our limited space wil) permit ‘us to record this morning, much as we would like to fol- low the rushing multitude that daily throng that thoroughfare, and furnish to the world the result of our observations amidst that sea of forms and faces. Let us now return to the well arranged walks and drives of the Oontral Park, the favorite spot for the bon ton to exhibit their well fed horses and costly carriages, and see if we can discover anything worth recording amongst the walkers there. This field of observation, although the daily pedestrians are only numbered by thousands, is a more difficult one to individualize, as most of our promi- nent characters seem to prefer the riding mode of airing to the slow progress of walking; yet there are many im- portant characters that are habitual walkers im the Central Park. The number that we have recorded in the commencement of this article as daily entering the several gates on foot at once exhibits the fact that this is one of the important features of the Park; that all its glory is not absorbed by the owners of gay and fashion- able equipages or thousand dollar saddle horses. Here as wel) as in Broadway the pedestrians appear at regular hours, and the first make their appearance im the Park at about nine A. M., and those are mostly Strangers in the city, who indicate by their walk and manner the location from which they come, whether it be Yankeedom, the sunny clime of the South or the rest- less far West. They are that class who come to the me- tropolis both for business and pleasure. Taking an early breakfast they start out for the much talked of Park, determined not to return to their homes until they have seen all the wondera there presented. Many of this class are acen there on wét and stormy days, when the citizens of our metropolis could not be hired to venture to that region. The Park being so far from the thickly settled portions of the city, but few pedestrians are found at an early hour; those who breathe the fresh air of the morning in that locality are either equestrians or carriage riders, and the only walkers in the forenoon are between nine and twelve o'clock, and nine-tenths of these are ru- ral gentlemen and their city friends. There {s a lull after twelve o'clock, and but now and then a straggling equestrian or pedestrian is to be seen until three P. M., the hour at which the general life and bustle the cavaleade parade, they are pouring in from all direo- tions, and on music days the walks inthe Park are che quered with human beings—of both sexes, all ages, and every grade in human life. The week day pedestrians to ‘this resort are mostly lawyers, merchants, literary men, divines, ladies and strangers to the city. Many of those who are to be found strolling about in the Ramble are those who have been seen rolling leisurely along over the drives in a costly carriage, and having left their estab- lishment at one of the “resting places’? prepared for that purpose, are changing the mode of outdoor exercise by joining the walking crowd. On Sunday there is more of @ mixed multitude, and although they are almost invariably well dressed and orderly, yet their very walk indicates that a large majo- rity at least belong to that numerous class of artisans, clerks and laborers to whom Sunday is a day of delivery, relief and rest, than of the luxurious class who enjoy the opportunity with less zest. A number of those who use the Park in riding during the week are also there as pe- destrians on Sunday, showing that they consider pedes- trianism a higher range of holiness than riding. There are, however, but comparatively few females on this day, not. withstanding they form a large proportion of the promena- ders to be found there every pleasant afternoon during the week days, The Park is yet too far from the heart of the city to make the pedestrian feature one of regular and well defined characteristics; it rather partakes of tho nature of sight-seers than of habitual and regular walkers. The time, however, will come when these walks will be in a8 constant and regular use from an early hour in the morning until evening, by different claases of prome naders, as is Broadway at the present time. Those who use the Park as a promenade may be classed in the same grade with the bon ton who appear on wheels, with the exception of the Sunday visiters, when all grades of New York society are to be seen there. Among the walkers in this inviting region are most of our lead- ing divines, and many who physic and bleed our people, 8 well as many of those who are prominently connected in some form er other, either as lawyers, bankers, brokers, insurance men, merchants, doctors, or publishers,with the life amd excitement that keep the commercial wheel of our city moving onward at rapid strides, each impressing his individual characteristics apon our metropolitaa life; but the list that we have given will serve 4: an index or sample of those who use the Central Park as a prome- nade. They are the representative meu of the classes to be geen leisurely strolling along over the well arranged ‘walks of that popular resort for fashion, beauty, wealth and vanity. ‘There is, however, one other question that demands our sor sts arvana, of Commissioners, to establish a first class refreshment house, and to license a number of one and two seated aba to run in the Park for the accommodation of Such pédestrians who may become weary in their per- ‘ambulations. The proposition is to license some thirty or forty cabs at two bundred and fifty dollars a piece per year, and they be allowed the use of the drives of the Park to take up and put down passengers at any point, and to carry them at a price fixed by the Commis- sioners—the money received from this license fee to go into the fund for maintaining the Park. This pro- positi@ has both its advantages and objections, fand the Commissioners seem to be divided as to the propriety of establishing the cab feature in the Park. Bat the in- dications are that it will at an early day become one of the institutions of the Park. ‘The refreehment house was debated about a year ago and postponed, but is soon to come up again. The sug: gestion by the friends of this measure is to crect a con- venient building on the weat side of the lake, on the high ground in the vicinity of Seventy-second street, and rent it t @ first class restaurateur, who will furnish the public with a three cent slice or a five dollar dinner just es they may call for, An establishment of this kind, the friends of the movement assert, will rent for from ten to twelve thousand dollars, At present a majority of the Board are opposed to the proposition; it is therefore one ‘With these facts and descriptions of our neted prome- naders we drop the subject for the present, or until some new developement is made in this branch of cosmopoli- tan life. The Treatment of Americans in Hayt!. THE CAPTAIN AND CREW OF AN AMERICAN VERSRL ASSAULTED BY A MOB, AND THEN PINED AND IM- PRISONED BY THE AUTHORITIES. ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Avx Carm, Hayti, Nov. 30, 1860. I wish to give you a statement of a difficulty Captain Chureh, of the brig Uranus, of Boston, bas had with this government, and the way they have acted towards him 1 think was most shameful. The affair was as fol- lows :—His consignee sent him a lighter alondside; after ‘working hours, the men in the lighter did not wish to work, and gave the officers of the brig very abusive tan- guage, and both parties came to blows—the second mate and two of the men with the lightermen. During the same evening the captain went on shore, wishing to con- sult with the American Consul, and when he landed on the wharf he found a mob of sixty or seventy parsons i ‘ PA i ; Fe ie i iF 2 i ; f & : ij i i noite. a lB fis 3 send them by pdm yg) rh HL.

On the afternoon of the 13th I was on shore in company with the captain of a French vessel; he had some disturbance with a ste- vedore, and I tried to persuade him to go off with me, We were shorily after surrounded by 8 mob and ‘some policemen, and he was arrested. I came near being forced along with him, and was shoved along up the wharf. I succeeded, however, by the assistance of one of my men, in getting to my boat, and went on board. About an hour or two later I started to see the United States Commercial Agent to make inquiries why I was insulted, or rather assaulted, in the streets. When I ar- rived at the wharf I was met by the Captain of the port, and I requested him to go with me to the American Consul’s house, which he refused, and told me to go on board, which I declined to do, and started w g2 1m company with my on.
