The flow of population is tending very rapidly in those directions; but Brogkln appears to at- tract the largest portion of o1r people, who either cannot be accommedxed here, or who are anxious to be relieved from the pressure of bricks and mortar, 2d want the free air which floats into Broob¥n from the broad At- lantic. Anyhow, it isdear that the speculators in real estate on Martattan Island have lately been somewhat em/atrassed in their calcula- tions aa to the vate of property by the move- ment in the diretion of Brooklyn. Property there is cheap than in New York, and it is rapidly gaini® equal advantages by the im- provementgM the streets, the Prospoct Park, the skavin, ponds in winter, the fine drives and bouleyays which invite fast people and slow people‘n summer—the fast ones who love to try th mattle of their teams on good roads, and fe slow ones who like to enjoy the splen- dig landscapes which surround them every- yaere. These are some, but not all, of the charms of Brooklyn. New York and Brooklyn are @estined to be- come twin cities. The East river bridge will of course be the connecting link joining these Siamese twins, but it may require an act of the Legislature to make them one in a cdtpo- rate form—to place them both under one Mayor and one Common Council, and thus practically elevate Brooklyn to the enviable position of a part of the great metropolis. London, although divided by the Thames, is all London still. Southwark and Sydenham and the other portions of the cfty on the other side of the river are as much @ part of the English capital as the vicin- ity of Temple Bar and ‘Trafalgar square. It will come to pass in our day, in like man- ner, that Brooklyn and Jersey City and Staten Ysland will be united to New York by bridges, and then we may have but one municipal gov- ernment, and one political ‘“‘ring” instead of many, to look after—a blessing most devoutly tobe wished for. Our two rivers will then be, like the canals of Venice, mere water passage ways from one part of the city to another. After all, what more are they now? The representatives of the labor, the industry and @ good deal ofthe wealth of this city have their homes either in Brooklyn or Jersey City. And they are there by necessity, because they cannot find homes in New York as cheap and as convenient. The man who lives within his moderate means cannot afford to pay the rents demanded in New York for a residence ade- quate to the comforts of a home, and hence it is that people prefer to have a house of their own in Brooklyn rather than occupy rooms in a domicile which, however elegant it may appear, is little better than a tenement house. Brooklyn, in point of population, is the fourth city in the Union, er progress for the past ten years has been, perhaps, one of the most remarkable examples of the rapidity with which our large cities increase in popu- tation, in area and in civilization. She has now all the benefits of this metropolis at her command, Our theatres, our concert halls, our art galleries, our Park, our Broadway stores and Broadway promenades are at her door. Our progress, in short, belongs to her, and she cannot fail to avail herself of it. When the bridge is completed we shall be one clty{n reality, as we are already in every- thing but in name. The Now Method of Teaching History and a New Way of Puffing It, The Chicago Republican states that they bave a Polish scholar in that city who has’ originated an entirely new method of teaching history, and advises the Board of Education to give him a hearing. But what will the learned professor think, if he can read English, when he finds appended to the above recommendation 8 sentence like the following :—‘‘Nevertheless, the new law has its drawbacks, as landlords will find to their cost, unless extra vigilance be oxercised as to what is going on in their leased premises.” If this new system of teach- ing history is to require extra vigilance on the part of the landlords, why endorse it? It ‘was to be supposed that Chicago landlords had become hardened or indifferent as to what was going on in their leased premises, judging from recent reports of unseemly practices in some tenements, But the ways of the Chica- gotes are mysterious. They have been endeav- oring to make history for the last twenty years, and now they have a Pole to help them—to push them forward on a new plan, as a Missis- sippi flatboatman pushes his craft against the mhddy stream. It is, however, a muddy and @ muddled affair all round. Removan or Tae Nations. Capitar.— Western papers are again urging the necessity of removing the national capital to some point nearer the centre of the Mississippi valley. They declare that the completion of the Pa- cific Railroad brings the Pacific coast nearer to Chicago, St. Louis or Omaha than to the city of Washington. Henco we may anticipate a pretty strong pressure from California, Oregon, Nevada, together with the Rocky Mountain and Pacific States yet to be organized, §n con- nection with the power of the older Western Staton, in favor of sucha project. But it is all idle to talk about the old or now West becom- ing for at least halfa century the centre of civi- lization and enlightenment on this Continent, whatever it may be geographically. Steam and electricity have recently brought all sec- tions of the country into a closer alliance than ever before, and ifs change of the government espital be required at all itis to transfer ft to the city of New York, which is the practical, absolute, social, financial, commercial and acientific head and centre of the Amorioan Con- tinent, FATAL_ACCIDENT, Francia Currie, aged fourteen years, living at the eorner of Eleventh avenue and Thirty-seventh Gtreet, Was last night knocked down and run over by engine No, 18, of the Huason River Reiroad, Currie time of the accident was end ing to crows ly injured, and taxon ry Detievne NEW YORK HERALD, TRLEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD Reduction of American Toanage Dues in Cuba.

At it Again—The London Times and the Alas bama Question—More Docuwents from Sir Francis Head. Lonpon, May 22, 1869. The 7imes this morning has another oditorial on the Alabama question, suggested by the recent speech of Mr. Forster. The Times says that England has equal cause of complaint against America. Great Britain resisted the temptation to recognize the South, thereby inficting sufferings on her own people, disobliging an ally, and, in fact, declared in favor of the North, and is now misunderstood and accused of hostility and selfishness. Sir Francis Head had communicated several addt- tional oficial documents to prove the assistance ex- tended by America to the Canadian revolt in 1837. He asserts in his letter accompanying the documents that Mr. Sumner’s language applies to that case as ‘well as to the case of the Alabama, but that the Eng- lish government never received or claimed indem- nity. aes More Press Criticisms on Sumuer’s Spoech— Monster Meeting in Belfast in Favor of tho Irish Church. Lonpon, May 22, 1869, ‘The Pall Mall Gazette (an independent newspaper) also has leading article on the Alabama claims question. The writer says:—Whatever England did in respect to the Americans, France did, and ten times more, for nothing but our refusal of her invi- tation to recognize the Southern confederacy saved the North from a more trying and doubtful contest, The weekly Spectator (whig), published to-day, also discusses the question. The truths told by Mr. Forster, the old and stanch friend of America, must teach the Americans how universal the resist- ance would be if Mr. Sumuer’s demand were sert- ously pressed. One of the greatest meetings ever assembled was held in Belfast, Ireland, to-day, to protest against the disestablishmont of the Irish Church.

The report that several of the leading Datmios bad surrendered their territories and sovereign rights and privileges to the Mikado was confirmed. The Imperial feet had left for Hakodadi to attack and oust the Teguwa clan, but owing to an accident to the machinery of the ram Stonewall the eet put back and anchored at Urgabay. Great excitement prevailed at Hakodadi in expectation of the attack by the forces of the Mikado. One of the leaders of the Teguwa was assassinated for advocating #ur- render to the Mikado. A steamer belonging to the Japanese government was blown up while anchored off Jeddo, The pow- der magazine was accidentally ignited. It is re- ported that sixty lives were lost. The opening of Jeddo remained a dead letter, owing to a blunder of the government, which placed every difficulty in the way of business being freely transacted.

Explesiou of a Lecomotivo on the Mount Holly and Burlington Railroad at Mount Holly, N. J.—Three Mon Killed and Several Wounded—The Engine Thrown Off the Wheels Inte the Creek=Hcouew and Incl- dents. ‘The quiet, thriving little town of Mount Holly, N. J., situated about seven miles from Burlington and twenty-three from Trenton, was on Friday thrown into an awful state of excitement and consterna- tion by one of those calamities and fatal raliroad accidents which of late have been so frequent ‘throughout the country. ‘The disaster occurred during the forenoon of Frt- day, and every effort was made by the railroad and telegraph authorities to hush the unfortunate affair in order that neither the press nor the public might learn the particulars of the bloody catastrophe. In- deed, 80 sedulous were they in this. respect that no intelligence was received in Trentdh till yesterday afternoon, and even then no information could be obtained at either depot that might shed any truth on the reel condition of things, On visiting the scene of the fatal calamity yesterday a spectacle of wreck and ruin was presented almost terrible to contemplate. For about thirty yards the track ‘was literally ploughed up, the rails wrenched from the ties and bent and broken im numberiess pieoss. ‘The road was strewn with overturned marl wagons, and the dilapidated engine lay in the creek about ten feet below the track and almost covered with water, It was quite rusty, and seemed to have been lying there for some time. ‘The dreadful accident occurred about ten o'clock on Friday forenoon, and from the information ascer- tained it appears that the ill-fated engine No. 39 was proceeding with a train of nineteen cars, loaded with between three and five tons each of mari, from the pits about five miles below Mount Holly, to unioad at a point equi-distant from the lat- ter place and Burlington, There were nine men on the train at the time, including the railroad opera- tives. The train arrived safely at Mount Holly, and was proceeding across tne bridge over the creek that rans through the town when the melancholy disaster occurred. The first intimation of the event received by the inbabitanta was a terrific shock, which actually shivered several of the adjacent dwellings and was heard all over the neighborhood. When the explosion occurred the engine jumped from the car a height of several feet, tear- ing away the boughs of some overhanging trees and falling into the creck. The brakeman was blown a distance of twenty yards into a mea- dow and miraculously escaped with a broken arm and a slight jaceration of the legs; but the engineer, conductor and fireman were hurled senseless to the track all bruised and shattered, and never awoke to consciousness. They have since died. The rest of the occupants of the train escaped with slight bruises. The following are the names of the killed and the more seriously injured:— Job Gaskill, engineer, killed; leaves a wife and four cnildren; taken to his home at Bordentown yester- day. John Sailer, conductor, killed; loaves a wile resid- ing at Mount Holly. Charles Platt, freman, killed; teaves a wife and two children. ‘Taken to his formor home at Piaits- burg. Edward Joice, brakeman; arm broken and ieg crushed. Taken to his home at Vincenttown. The place was visited yesterday by crowds. of sympathizing citizens and people from the surround- ing localities, About fifty men were employed in re- moving the old and broken rails and replacing them with new ones, as well as removing the piles of marl that overwhelmed the heaps of coal along the edge of the railroad. The cause of the unfortunate occurrence is vari- ously accounted for. Some say there was too great @ pressure of steam on; others ascribe tt to lack of water, as the boiler was almost red hot whea the peopie arrived at the creek. But the most probable solution to the whole affair is the worn out condition of the engine, It is understood to have been condemned three times a couple of years ago, although having been used on the road for some time since. The engi neer was six years im the employ of the company, over five of which he acted as firemau, and he ts generally spoken of as a man of sober habits, The road is known as the Burlington ana Mount Holly or the Camden and Buritngton Rail- road. It ts now merged into the Camden and Am- boy. A coroner's jury was erapanelied yesterday morn- ing, and after visiting the bodies adjourned till Mon- day morning next, when the investigation will coim- mence. The molancholy occurrence haa spread a gloom over the whole neighborhood, and for miles around nothing is spoken of but the suddenness and fatality of the dreadful bencorrined TELEGRAPHIC NEWS IT m3, Ten thousand bushels in bulk of wheat, a part of 100,000 bushels shipment from St Paul, Minn., for Liverpool via New Orleans, arrived at St. Louis yesterday.

New York: G, P, Putnam & >on, We cannot imagine for what purpose Mr. Brace has written this book. Written records of travel and adventure are worth but littie to the public if they contain nothing new. ‘The drat duty of the tourist author 1s to depict scenes which have never before—or, at any rate, very seidom—been described. Is it likely that Mr. Bayard Taylor would make a trip to Europe at this time, and on returning publish @ book containing nothing fresher than descriptions of St. Paul's Cathedral, Hyde Park, Windsor Castle, the Tuileries, the Triumphal Arch and other uke subjecta with which our great grandfathers were made familiar by other tourists? We think not. Are we not as familiar with the characteriatics of the people of San Francisco as we are with the appearance of the Vatican at Kome? Has not the old story of gambling in mining stocks in California been told over andover again? Has not the Val ley of the boner) been “done to the death’ in all manners and shapes? Have we not had the Digger Indians and those blessed Chinese written up for our Literary edification at least one thousand times? Even-Southern California, with its apathetic inhabitants, delightful climate, splendid vineyards aud silk growing enterprises, is like an old friend, We do not exaggerate when it is asserted that Mr. Brace could fave remained at Hastings-upon- Hudson and written this book just a3 well, without going to the expense of California, On the whole, while this ig not badly written and is not uninteresting, it fils mo vacant place in the history of the United States, With an almost unbounded fleld for au important work Mr. Brace has confined himself to a mere repetition of what others have said, and said as well. Even to those who have occusionaliy read the San Francisco newspapers, without having read other ac- counts of California, this volume of nearly four hun- ore will nq, convey much information. We admit thavTt is well written; and that it will prove interesting to all who have never read any- hing about California (and, no doubt, there are many such) we also ‘ee to; but to that class of men most likely to read it the book is of littie value.

If ‘‘siow He Won Her” could atiain sufieient popuiarity to call for a fourth edition, “The Changed Brides’ cer- tainly deserves to reach its eighth edition. Novel reading 1s undoubtedly merely a question of taate, and that Mra. Southworth’s works have always pos- sessed a large number of readers is a stubborn fact which #r critics cannot do away with. We must say, bowever, that the book before us can accopt- bly while away an idie hour. MODERN Practice ov THe ELrornic TeLRaRAPA. A Handbook for Electricians and Operatwra, by Frank L.
