Yeserving of @ comparison with the French ‘asignats, the Continental money, or any irre- feemable issues, as we have proved it to be andeserving of comparison with wildcat, South fea or Mississippi bubbles. Asad pte nee ane @he Watering Places—Recreation and Retrenchment. The approaching summer heats hint rural re- preations and a trip to the watering places. he approach of the tax collector, who will be ‘nocking at our doors in a few weeks more, is atrongly admonitory of retrenchment. On the pne hand is the necessity of recreation. On the other hand is the necessity of economy. Pater familias will find these two necessities as an- Qoying as the Scylla and Charybdis of ancient mavigation. Managers of places of public amusement ‘have already discerned the problem of re- trenchment and recreation, and have tried to tolve it by putting down their prices of ad- mission. We now have the Opera, with a hash of Herrmann and Gottschalk included, for half the usual charge. The theatres, while affect- ng to keep up their old rates, eke out their ‘audiences by free tickets. Such establishments as the Cremorne Garden, however, have a greater attendance than any of the theatres, for the entrance fee is less onerous, and ‘the combination of town and coun- try, performance and promenade, ice- cream and isolation, is more enjoyable. The ‘Central Park, free to all visitors, robed in green, decorated with flowers and musical with birds and Dodworih’s band, is more popular than Opera, theatre or garden. Thus we dis cover that the people patronize best that es- tablichment which gives them the most rural felicity at the least expense. The Central Park ‘is just that establishment. The watering places wi!l suffer greatly this year. Many of the best patrons of such sum- mer haunts will content themselves with an oc- casional trip to the rural districts, an occasion- al visit to a country cousin and an occasional drive through the Central Park. Newport: with its expensive hotels and more expensive -cottages, will be deserted; Saratoga, with its feunting turnouts and endless dissipations, will be visited only by a class of persons who will add little to the reputation of the hotels or the i oops of the landlords; Sharon Springs, with its conceited, half-breed airs, will be desolaie, end those persons who are obliged to go there “to drink the sulphur water will reside in the comfortable little hotels by the springs, -where the air is medicinal and invigorating, and no longer frequent the former fashionable houses, where the bad air, bad music and bad hours did them more harm than all the sulphur -aprings in the world could remedy. From the fate ot these crack watering places judge that -of ali the rest, except, perhaps, those very near this metropolis. No one knows any one who is going to a fashionable watering place this year: Everybody has decided either to remain in the ‘city or to spend a few weeks in the genuine country. We expect that thig season will in- ‘augurate a complete change in the character of our watering places; and this change will pro- ‘bebly be for the better, as it cannot possibly ‘be for the worse. Deduct, then, the comparatively few people ‘who will board @uring the summer at those little hotels upon Long and Staten Islands and the Jersey shore, which offer the inducements of reduced rates and an hour's sail from the city, and we still have a very large majority of our citizens who will depend upon the Central Park for the staple of their summer recreations. No impending inflation of ‘the money market ean alter this conclusion. As far as our experience goes, money is never ‘dnflated in value, though it may be in size, just @s five coppers are worth no more than a five cont piece, although they are a great deal hea- vier to carry about. Nor need any one com miserate our citizens upon the prospect of a ‘summer in the city. There is no other place in the world where so many attractions, rural and aarban, are felicitously combined as at our Cen- fral Park. An hour’s ride from the business portion of the city brings you to the Park country, with lawns, lakes, groves and drive’ prepared with the greatest taste, and with views and vistas unsurpassed in beauty. This double e@dvantage of being in the city and in the coun- try at the same time cannot be enjoyed at any watering piace. The Park is now in excellent ‘order, and would be unuexceptionable were it not for the fast trotting teams which infest its vicinity. The Bowery butcher boys, who used % drive their rat-like ponies about the city, have disappeared; but in their stead we have the Fifth avenue butcher Boys, with their cele. Drated studs. They are inen with more wealth than brains, who have made money easily, but do not know how te spend it rightly. Instead of driving their horses like gentiemen, they af- fect the jockey and the turfite. Ono refuses to face, but gets up religious trots against time. Another professes to be modest, but bas his erses and himself photographed together for a carte de visite, the horses making a much better @ppearsnce than the man. If the policemen at the Park will order these aristocratic butcher boys off the grounds the public will be greatly obliged, and wo may confidently rely upon the tax collector to complete the suppression of this silly, tasteless, unrefined style of rowdy recreation. Avyotiern Reet, Privarexi.—Some time ago there appeared in the Henan, among the items of intelligence from Europe, an announcement of the building of a screw propeller, called the Oviedo, at Liverpool. There was, at the time, reason to believe that this vessel was in- tended to be omployed by the Confederate rebels as a privateer, to prey upon the com- merce of the United States. Since then, suffl- sient bas transpired to resolve the impression Into certainty. We have advices that the Ovie- @o, the name of which has been changed to the Oveto, has arrived at Nassau, N. P., where, geport says, she is to be placed in command of the notorious rebel Semmes, late commander of the Sumter. Complaint was made by a Hoyai citizen of the United States, a-passenger on the Ureto, of the anticipated breach of the meutrality laws; indeod, it was represented that there had already been an infringement of ¢ho British Foreign Enlistment act, by the Gnding of articles of contraband of war on board, and by the putting up of certain fittings aince ber arrivel in Nassau, whereupon she was sized by the local government, and placed in charge of Lieut. H. B. Hammensley, of the British vessel-of-war Bulldog. It is be- lieved, however, that the seizure of the Oveto is all « sham, ond that she will be released in a fow lays, free to carry on her work of devasta- fiom oud plunder. Her principal sim will be fo intercept and seize the California steamers NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1862.—TRIPLY SHERT. en route to New York; and, as she is represented to be an exceedingly fast and powerful steamer, capable of making eighteen knots an hour—though this may be somewhat exagge- rated—the project is by no means a wild one. It is well known that the pestilent little sand bank on which the town of Nassau is built has been, from the commencement of the rebellion, the chief rendezvous of vessels from England intending to run the blockade of the Southern ports. In this the speculators in the illegal traffic have met with great success and realized enormous profiis. It is said that one firm alone, which has a branch in Charleston and another in New York, has cleared no less than one million pounds sterling by these nefarious ope- rations. Where the gain is so immense it is no wonder that, under a government but too will- ing to wink at the infractions of its own laws on the subject of blockade and neutrality, per- sons are to be found ready to incur the risks involved in the trade; and, though very few vessels have run the blockade lately, the pros- pect of capturing one or two California steamers, with their valuable specie freights, is sufficientlf tempting to the cupidity of unsoru- pulous persons to induce them to embark in the undertaking for which the Oveto is said to have been built. To be warned is to be forearmed; and, as we have béen notified of the intention of those who control the movements of the Oveto—a vessel capable of doing more mischief than the Sumter—two or three swift and powerful ves- sels like the Vanderbilt should be at once despatched to cruise after and endeavor to capture her, How tne Frexcut May Learn to Conquer Mexico.—Persigny, Napoleon’s Prime Minister, is coming here. Let him bring with him a dozen marshals, and let them proceed to West Point, where General Scotf is, and we have no doubt that the veteran warrior, who is a very good natured man, will give them some lessons gra- tuitously which will let them into the secret of conquering Mexico. Only two generals have ever conquered that country. One is Cortez. He is no longer to be consulted, except through the medium of the spirits. The other is Scott, who still remains in the flesh, and we have no doubt will give the French generals all his plans and maps. They might also consult with advantage the files of the New York Heraxp, which give a full and particular account of the whole Mexican campaign of 1846 and 1847. With such aids as these the French army may do better next time. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. WAR GAZETTE. Official. DISMISSAL OF SURGEON DAVID 8. HAYS, CHARGED WITH NEGLECTING WOUNDED SOLDIERS.

The adoption of the resolution in the Sonate to meet Rerouftor at eleven instead of twolve o’clock, ia significant of an intention to hurry business through, in view of an early ad. journment, The vote upon this resolution is regarded ana test vote, and shows that the ultras, who desire that Congress shall remain in session to watch the Pre sideot and hamper the administration, will be in the minority, and will not be able to prevent an ad- Jeurnment as soon as the business of the session is con- cluded. “DEVIL'S DAY” IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. To-day has been what is called by old members “Devil's Day,”’ in the House. It was resolution day, when everybody has an opportunity to tickle or to garrote somebody else by @ resolation. Among those brought im to-day was a resolution of inquiry in rogard te GenSral Banks’ permitting runaway negroes to ride in wagons dericg bis retreat from Winchester, while sick and wounded soldiers were left faintiog by the roadside, Noone here beliervas this charge of inhumanity on the part ef General Banks. Tho resolution was referred, General Banks is expected to be here to ret any such charges and confound those who prefer them, The resolution to inquiro into the reason why the White House, the residence of Mrs. General Lee, on the Pamunkey river, has not been occupied as a military hospital, created some stir in the House, Dur ing the discussion it was stated that a peremp. tory order had issued from the War Departmont thas the premises should be converted nto an hospital. ‘The Secretary of War was waited upon by Dr. Horace Green, J. Burns, of the Massachusetts Relief Association’ and Prosper M. Wetmore, of New York, urgiug that the White House should thus beeccupicd. The resolution of ‘nquiry was adopted in order to atrive ata clear state- ment of fact as to whether the building ix suitable, and i 80, what reagous prevented its occupation fur hospital purposes, SECRETARY OF WAR. THR BANKRUPT BILT. An effort is to be made this week to pass the Rank- rupt bill, Although thero isan acknowledged majority in both houses in favor of this measure, nothing can be done until the Judiciary Committee of the Senato choose to report the bill and allow action upon it. The material Jnterosts of the country demand action upon it this ses. sion. It isa necessary concomitant of the Tax bill. The failure to pass it now will bring irretrievable ruin upon every commercial community North and South, aud will ureatly reduce the amount of revenue to be derived from the Tax bill, The bill Introduced by Wm. Foster in the Senate has beon well considered. It is the only bill there is any prospect of passing, and if the Judiciary Committee will report, the bill may be passed, and its benedits euure to the country without delay. DEPARTURM OF LORD LYONS.

Mr. H. I+ Dateman, jather of the young favorive, per- formed the part of the bard, aad realized the most nth ful conception of that intensely impassioned part. His acting was powerful when delivering his curso upon the house of Geraldine. Sr. J. W. Wallack, Jr., porvormed the wicked, wily, hypocritical priest with great effect ; indeed everything thie actor does is artistic. ‘the whole pisce was well sustained, Miss Rateman will appear again this (Tuesday) eve: ning, atthe Brooklyn Academy, and will sustain, at the request of several persons, hor celebrated character of Capulet’s fair daughter in Romeo and Juliet.

Ingersoll, the well known boatbuilder of this city, yesterday shipped a fine new boat, on oar account, for our correspondents at Key West. The boat was exhibited in front of our office in the earlier part of the day, and was generally admired as @ most beautiful specimen of naval architecture. She is named the Sylph, is of Whitehall shape, nineteen feet long, clinker built, of white cedar, and finished with great care. She is intended to be used by our correspotidents in boarding vessels for late news. This is only one illustration of the machinery required in the management of 2 great newspaper. All our correspondents at the various points at which our navy is operating have to be supplied with boats for the performance of their duty, in the same way as our representatives with the ar. my in the field have to be provided with fleet horses to keep up with the movements of our land forces. The expense thus devolved upon us is necessarily very heavy; for all these corres- pondents have to be maintained in the field, while all the expenses of their outfits, including boats, horses, pistols, saddles, field glasses, &o., are also chargeable to us. We have now some thirty correspondents with the army and navy; and, with the perfection with which all our arrangements are made, our extended system of correspondence works with the precision of a well ordered machine. When the Hrxatp was first established we were considered very enterprising for placing a single boat on the waters of the New York bay for board- ing vessels arriving at this port. Now we have boats at every important point of the American coast where our squadrons are operating against the rebeliion. This is, of course, altogether inde- pendent of the arrangements of the Associated Press for boarding vessels from Europe off Cape Race and Father Point, below Quebec. Such is the enterprise that gives character and useful- ness to a leading newspaper. Daring the Crimean war the London Times prided itself greatly on having a solitary corres- pondent——Bull Run Russell—with the army of operation. And yet the Times is considered a great newspaper all over the world. We make no splurge over the matter; but instead of one we have twenty or thirty correspondents with all the divisions of the army, to say nothing of our other correspondents scattered everywhere all over the world. It is only in this way that we can satisfy the desires of the public for a continuous stream of the news of the whole globe, flowing inina steady stream from every quarter where import- ant deeds are being do: Death of Cap jain Berry.
