NEW YOKK HERALD, TUESDAY, OUR HARBOR DEPENCES, “DEFENCE NOT DEFIANCE” Completion of the Old Works: Progress of the New. “Let us have peace,” but while in the enjoyment -Of that priceless blessing Jet us examine our defences and make sure that we are tuoroughly prepared for ‘war. ‘The politica! horizon, as seen from our point -of view, is remarkably clear at present, There 1s, in fact, but one solitary cioud—the Alabama question— and that, as yet, is not so large as a man’s hand; but then who knows from which quarter the wind will blow next, or whether it will be laden with airs from the realms where peace forever reigns or blasts from the region where eternal discord rages? The mil- lennium is not yet, nor have the most sanguine be- Nevers in that ‘good time coming” discovered the Drat sign of its epproach, and therefore we may ex- pect to be troudied with wars and rumors of wars or some time yet, and cannot be too well prepared. During the late domestic unpleasantness the atarcling discovery was made that the Empire City ‘Was completely at the mercy of an enemy’s feet. Forewarned then, we are now forearmed. In the event of war the inhabitants of this and the adjacent Glties need be under no apprehension of capture or bombardment, for so complete are the defences of New York harbor that we arein a position to defy the navies of the world. Since the war the old works, which modern improvements in the science of gunnery had readerea worse than useless, have beon so thoroughly reconstructed that the engineers ‘who desigued them would have great difficulty in discovering @ single origiual feature, and new works of immense strength, armed and appointed with the most approved appliances for opposing the approach Of hostile vesse's have been erected on every advan- tageous position. The majority of these works are now almost com- Plete, in siructure aud armament, and the exten- sions and improvements which are being made here and there are progressing rapidly. The present armament of the forts and batteries amounts to the formidable total of 2,000 guns of the heaviest calibre, and so complete is the system of land defences that all that would be required of an iron-clad feet in the Way of co-operation would be to steam somewhere Out of the way and give the batteries a clean sweep. In the absence of our iron-clad fleet the first ob- stacle in the’ way of any hostile naval expediuon having New York for ts objective point would be BANDY HOOK FORT, which 1s situate at the extreme point of the Hook and commands the main ship cuannel, The im- Ponce of this position fer defensive purposes was requentiy pointed out by eminent military engl- neers, and in 1587 orders Were given to commence ‘the constraction of tortitications there. The work once sturted the importance of the position became suil more maniiest, aud the original plan was al doned in favor of one which embraces ali the ad Tages of the site and turns them to the best p account, Although frequent interruptions have curred consequent upon alterations in the Plans and delays {n making the necessary appro- riations, surprising progress has been made so far, and it ts understood that it has recently been decided to complete the fortifications at this point With ali posstoie speed. ‘The wutnorities are com- mendably reticent concerning the details of the resent plan, and only a few privileged persons have M permitted to inspect the existing wor«s, It May be stated, however, tat when completed Sandy Hook Fort wili rank next to Fortress Monroe in point o1 Magnitude, and its strength will be proportionate. ‘The exact strengtt of tne piace, however, will only be reveaied in the event of its being attacked, and then every facility will be afforded to the enemy wno ‘wishes to learn the numoer and calibre of the guns 4n position. The garrison of Saudy Hook Fort will be able to give @ grim Weicome to an invading fleet, gnd seriousiy impede, If not effectually prevent its @pproach to the Narrows, FORT HAMILTON, Which stands on the Long isiund side of the Narrows, has undergone extensive alterations and improve- ments within the past jew years, and is now sup- pied with ali tne requirements of modern gunnery. rincipal among the iuprovements is the extension of tne water battery, which extends about 600 yards along the frout, at an elevation of about sixty feet gbove the sea, and is mounted with guns of the Deaviest calibre. At low water the channel between Forts Hamilton and Latayette contains but fourteen feet of wuter, and when wie extension and arma- ment of the water battery shall be eompleted it will be almost impossibie for any vessel, no matter how heavily plated, to sustain the Weight of the terrific tire Which can be Conceutrated at this point. The new Magazine has capacity for stowing about a million eo of powder, The gariison of Fort Hamiiton under the command of brevet Brigadier General Tnrael Vogdes. . K FOKT LAFAYETTE, ‘hice is also on the Loug island side, has been somewhat improved of late and is capable of bein; Btill furtler improved. The pian for removing 11 and substiuting an enormous revolving turret of Impenetrate metal, mounted with nothing smaller than twenty4nch Rodmans and 100-pouuder Par- Totts, is believed to be gtlil under consideration. FORT WaDSwoRTH, or Richmond, as itis someumrs called, is a massive ‘and extensive work, and is, in the opinion of com- etent judges, as nedr Hnpregnable as any fortifica- jon can be in these days. Its 200 heavy guns ar; ranged in three tiers of casemates, and one on Darvette, The fort is materialiy strengthened by patying works in the shape of water batteries, jorth Cliff and South Cluf batteries occupy spien- did ee a are mounted with the heaviest ordnance. Hudson's baitery extends in a curve from South Cliff to the redeubt which completes the line of defences. Tne ground around Fort Rieh- mond affords great natural advantages, The battery | ede on the brow of the nill to the east of the fort can piay bavoc with anything in the shape o1 a bostile vessel that propane to come within range, ‘This post is commanded by Brevet Colonel Clermont LL. best.

The island 1s at present divided into two de- partments, the recruiting depot and the arsenal. Geueral Newl, who has command oi the recruiting department, also has cuarge of the fortifications. The arsenal is under the cuurge of Colonel Laidley. The magazines of the ditferent forts contain together Over 1,00.,0u8 pounds of powder, and a very consid. erabie quantity of “villanous saltpetre’ is stored in ‘the arsenal, CASTLE WILLIAM ‘Was considered quite a formidable stracture some sixty years ago, but two or three mediuin sized modern projecuies would materially alter tts anti- uated outlines.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Monpay, August 2—6 P, M, ‘The principal matter of interest in Wall street to- day was the public announcement through the Sub- ‘Treasurer m this city of Secretary Boutwell’s inten- tions with regard to the purchase of bonds and sale of gold during the current month, This announce- ment was made early im the day by a bulletin posted in the Treasury Building, and was to the following effect:— The purchases of bonds for the account of the ‘Treasury during August will be as follows:— August 4! 2, August 11. 2,000,000 August 12 (sink: 1,000,000 August 18.. 2,000, Auxust 25, 2,000,000 ee fined 26 5 + 1,000,000 ‘The gold saies will be as August 5. 000,000 ‘August 19. "1,000,000 Bonds sold must! e day following the sale. In case of failure to deliver the bonds by bid- ders within the time specified they will be pur- chased in the regular market for account of the bidders, ‘This last provision, which is simply the application of the rule which prevails on the Stock Exchange to these transactions appears to have been forced upon the Sub-Treasurer by the neglect of some of the sell ers upon the occasion of tne last purchases by the government to make prompt delivery, to the great inconvenience of the Sub-Treasurer, and the dis- turbance of his accounts, Much indignation was feit and no inconsiderable amount expressed at the proof presented by the concurrence of the publishea programme of intended sales and purchases for the month with the statement that had been made in certain quarters some days ago as to the future action of the Secretary, of a betrayal by somebody of important information, whether through carelessnes or interested motives it matters not. It is very clear that the parties who have been buying five-twenwies recently, assigning as their reason for so doing just such intentions om the part of Secretary Boutwell as he to-day made ofMcially public, were not acting upon mere surmise. How or through what source they derived the information upon which they basea their opera- tions 18 a matter concerning which the mass of deal- ers not thus specially favored desire information. It 1s not asserted that Secretary Boutwell himself has betrayed the pledge he gave the street early in bis administration, that he would not permit himself to be used for purposes of speculation, although there are not wanting precedents for sucn unpatriotic conduct on the part of even as high an officer, but it is clear enough to the simplest comprehengion that either some one very close in his confidence is betraying it or he 1s more eareless in guarding the secrets of his office, of such moment, than is becoming one holding 80 high a trust. Whatever the situation or wherever the leak 1s It behooves him if he values his reputation to look into it and secure a reform. This announcement of the Secretary's having been already discounted, in consequence of its unofficial Publication upon such apparent excellent authority as to be almost undisputed, failed to exercise apy considerable effect upon the market to-day other than an advanceof to % per cent at the morning call upon the closing prices of Saturday night, The ten-forties and the currency bonds, which are not included in the Treasury purchases, were the leading features of the list, the former ad- vancing to 116 211634 for coupon and the latter to 111a 1114. The demand for these issues continued throughout the day largely from banks, while it is sald the supply in the market is small. The five- twenties, on the contrary, fell of slightly m the afternoon upon @ decline in London from 83% to 8334. The following were the closing figures at five o'clock:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 124; do, do., coupon, 124; do. five-twenties, registered, 12354 @ 123%; do. do., coupon, 1862, 125% @ 12534; do. 40., coupon, 1864, 1234¢ a 123%{; do. do., coupon, 1865, 1235; a 123%; do. do., coupon, new, 1865, 1223¢ 122%; do. do., coupon, 1867, 122% a 122%; do. Go., coupon, 1868, 12244 a 122%; do. ten-forties, registered, 11281124; do. do., coupon, 116 @ 1164; currency bonds, 11134 @ 11134. The announcement of the treasury operations in- tended for the month, which will piace upon the street @ balance of nine and one-half millions, caused an easier feeling in the money market early to-day, the ruling rate on call loans being five to six per cent, and prime discounts seven to nine per cent, In the confidence felt of this increased ease continuing many brokera delayed in making up their balances until late in the afternoon, which caused a@ little sharper inquiry towards the close, and transactions are reported after banking hours at seven per cent. The gold market was remarkably dull to-day and free from speculative excitement. The premium, opened at 136, and advanced dunng tha day to 136%, falling off again during the session of the board to 13634. The bulk of the transactions in the room Were ai 198% ana 186%, with somefew sales Gt 1863¢, the deatings at the extreme figures being exceptional. After the adjournment of the board the premium declined to 136, and later to 135%, between which figures it remained steady until five o’ciock, when it touched and closed at 135%. The sudden deciine towards the close was occasioned by @ report that bonds were 84 in London, as an uneasy feeling growing out of a want of confidence in recent bond speculations almost caused the strong undertone which prevailed in the market most of tle day. Reterring to this subject an evening paper of to-day says:—‘This want of confidence Is be- ginning to show itself in @ discrimination among the leading foreign bankers against bills drawn against shipments of bonds. foreign advices repre- sent that the rise in five-twenties at London and Frankfort has been encouraged for the purpose of unloading a very large amount of stock being carried by dealers there. The effort appears to be most active in London, and has reached Frankfort, sending a considerable amount of bonds there, so that Frankfort exchange now rules against London.” ‘The rates for carrying, while reflecting the ease in the money market, yet shows a considerable short interest, transactions ranging from 434 to 6 per cent. ‘The disbursements of coin interest to-day amount to $140,443, ‘The following table shows the range of the gold preminm during the day, and its prices at stated 3 P.M, ++ 1963 135% 36 The following 1s the report of the Gold Exchange wank for to-day;—Gross clearings, $43,873,000; gold balances, $1,634,872; currency balances, $2,103,669, Foreign exchange Is quiet, without new features, and closed steady at previous rates.

The principal feature of the stock market to-day was the Northwestern shares, which, under pur- ehases to cover the large short interest put out in anticipation of @ decline upon Mr, Keep'’s death, ‘Were active aud buoyant, advancing to 86% for the common and 97% for the preferred. Subsequently the common reacted from this figure, but closed two per cent nigher than its opening price, The street 4s lively with rumors conceraing the future direction of these stocks.

New York Central ranged on extreme prices between 208% and 211; Hudson River between 185% and 187}, both stocks closing about one per cent below the best figures, Harlem and Erie were quiet and stefly. The express list fell off sharply between the two calls tu-day, but re- mained steady at the decline, although with a weak feeling. Adama fell off to 593¢ on the report that Ajvidends would not be resumed for several months yet. The miscellaneous list was steady, without featares.

Real Estate Notes. ‘rhe following from the Chicago Post of Saturday evening gives the condition and prospects of the real estate market in that city:— Real estate is reported as “all quiet on the Poto- mac;”? Notwithstanding the reiterated advice that “now is a good time to buy,” there are many over- wise ones who *‘can’t see it.” We must judge of the Tuture by the resuita of the past, and see what are some of the resuits of the past. Mr. L., on Tyler street, seventeen years ago, was going home one evening from his work with his friend McD., and saW an anctioneer’s tug hung out with the anneuncem “Real estate at auction.” “Let us go in,’? says L., and in they went, with no intention of buying. But they soon became inter- ested, and consulting together agreed to take ten lots at tifty cents a foot. To-day that property, which was then two miles from any house, and from which the evening lamp has often guided Mr. L. across the prairie from Randolph street bridge, three miles away, is worth fifty dollars @ foot, and cannot be bought for that. Mr, B., of New York city, bought twenty acres, sixteen years ago, three miles from the Court House, between Harrison and Jacksep, for $600 an.acre, and for the north half he has been offered $8,000 an acre, and the offer was refused. To-day there are just as good oppor- tunities offered if parties will only be satisfea to hoid on. Not every one can expect to make 300 per cent on thelr money in one year, as those did who mvyested near the limits one year ago, Make reai estate an investment and not @ specuiation and you have a competence for your advancing years and a fortune for your children and children’s children, An eating house advertises ‘1,000 acres South Park” in connection with some enormous specimens of the genus batrachian. If the firm aforesaid can furnish that 1,000 acres South Park which will produce such ecimens, a ba can probably be found to take the whole lot oif their mands at $10,000 an acre. Frog culture under as favorable circumstances as ts instanced in their windows, would prove the best investment yet discovered in Chicago, The numoer of saies recorded this week 1s the same as reported for last week, but the amount is still less thanin any previous week since last summer. The decision of the South Park question, which is now looked for within a few days, will give much more detiniteness to transactions. The following table shows the dally transactions for the week ending Friday night and the gales for a series of weeks previous:. Sales, Amount, ‘The market was steady, paid.

The Park. “A.” complains that in the Park, from Fifth to Sixth avenue, near the Lake, nor down Fifth avenue by the Lake to the Superintendent's house is there a ngie seat, while there should be a good many for the accommodation of visitors. Fresb Beef from Texas. A gentleman in Washington, D. C., informs uz that @ company has lately been formed—he himseif being @ member of it—to introduce fresn beef from Tex: into the Eastern States, In Southwestern Texas, h Seys, the finest beef in the world can be had, and the first come arrived at New Orleans July 10 in as per- fect ition as when slaughtered at Indianola, Texas. They will verygoon have acargo at Wash- ey ington, and follow it up by several cargoes each month, The beef ts preserved in its full freshness by @ process ‘founded on the new cold dry air prin- ciple,” invented by a citizen of New Jersey, and it is to be availed of on a much larger scale hereafter pe rtjaaabad fresh beef from Texas to our Northern les, The Nuisance on Thirty-eighth Street and North River. “Smoller,” residing in Thirty-eighth street, be- tween Fifth and Sixth avenues, under date of August 1, sends to the Heratp a bitter complaint ayainst the continuance of the exceedingly offensive nuisances in the neighborhood of ‘Thirty-eighth street and North river. On the evening of the day named, coming from his dining room alter a hearty meal, he was 80 affected by the stench that he has been severely indisposed ever since. He wishes, if the Board of Health do not quickiy interfere with the necessary deodorizing and disinfecting ma- terials, that his neighbors in that populous district should unite and prevail upon the proprietors of those fat rendering estabiisuments to so conduct their business as to become less offensive. The Coal Monopoly, A well known merchant of Water street writes us to say that he and many of his friends fully approve of the suggestion of the HERALD, that Congress at its next session should abolish the import duties on coal, as the present monopoly in the coal trado ‘8 ‘one of the most widely extended in its effects, grasp- ing every industria: as well as domestic interest, and every class of people in our mids.” It is proposed 1n his letter to circuiate for signatures a petition to Congress for the abolition of the coal duty and have Wt ready for pepscatencn at Washington next De- cember, which trouvle he is willing to undertake and give it bis personal attention. If in otner parts of the country a similar movement be at ouce begun there 1s hardly @ doubt that tt will succeed, Opening of Varick Street—Not a Bad Sugges- tion. A reader of the HERALD, writing from No, 30 Grove street, suggests the opening of Varick street from Carmine st:eet to Seventh avenue, The pro- jected cutting through of Fifth avenue to West Broadway, he says, will but partially effect its pur- ose, since uptown travel would be throwa again on roadway north of Twenty-third street, where it 1s already overcrowded, while Seventh avenue is com- paratively deserted. He also remarks that “the sug- gested ovening (of Varick street) would bring to light and conaect with the outer world a locatty now unknown except to residents. Bewildered strangers passing through it would not then have cause to grumble at such laying out of streets, lead- ing anywhere except where they wish to go."” The Newark and New York Railrond. The dissatisfaction of the people of Newark as to the tariff of fares established by this new railroad has already been noticed in the HERALD. A letter from a citizen of Newark explains that it was under- stood ever since the road was projected that it was to be a “‘people’s line;” that single fare would be fifteen ceuts, excursion tickets for one day twenty-five cents and yearly commutation fifty doi- lars. Now there is to be no yearly commutation, single tickets are twenty cents, excursion tickets thirty-five cents and 100 tickets may be bought tor Hilteen dollars. The writer refers to the char, the Harlem Railroad to Tremont, as far from T'wen- ty-sixth street as Newark is irom Liberty street— eight and a balf miles—the fare being filteen cents and 100 tickets are sold for tweive dollars, and aiso to the Southside Raliroad, which charges fifteen cents to Jamaica, a distance of nine miles, from Staten Island to Elizabeth City. Acorrespondent furnishes the following reasons 1m favor of constructing a tunnel connecting Staten Island with Elizabeth City, N. J. ‘There is a greater concentration of population and business in the vicinity of Elizabeth than at other point on the dividing line between New Yori and New Jersey, except Jersey City. Elizabeth has 25,000 inhabitants; Newark, within seten miles, 127,000. The railroads and connecting lines touching Elizabeth extend through the whole country. They must all have an interest in reaching tne deep waters of the harbor by a shorter and more direct route than they at present possess. The market transportation ‘and — passen patronage of the 50,000 inhabitants of Staten Island cannot be deemed too insigniticant lor the notice of those interested in those numerous ratiroad lines, ‘To the inhabitants of Staten Island tt must be of great benefit to have,ail the productions of the country brought to them directly without breaking bulk from the piace of production; also to be able to go to any part of the country direct without first going to w York as the starting point, as they now do. A new and very quick route to New York 1s obtained. From Eliza- beth, by the New Jersey Centrai road, across Newark Bay, New York cau be reached im about thirty min- utes. The facilities for making a tunnel at the point indicated are very great. A long stretch o1 sait meadow on the Staten Island side would facilitate the descent to the tunnel so that it need be scarcely perceptible, On the Jersey stde there are uo serious difficuities, The population of Staten Island is now increasing in as rapid a ratio as New York, and with such added facilities of communica- tion the increase would be much more rapid, and there would be an immense increase in the market value Of real estate on the island. as well as at Elizabeth and its vicinity. The same correspondent says that he measured the distance across Staten Island Sound from the old ferry dock to Elizabeth City, and found the dis- tance only a little more than 200 yards. If the ordi- nary form of raiiroad should be too great an imped- iment for the shipping this would be an admiradie Opportunity for travelling, A Tunnel An Insarance Mystery. A “Disgusted Policy Hoider" informs us of the following facts, which he proposes to vouch for. Some years ago the “London Loan and Trust Com- pany,” doing business in London, England, started @ pranch at No” 70 Wall street, under the name of the “International Life Insurance Company," and deposited with the Comptroller at Albany $200,000 as security for the policy holders, Their business here was successful, but in England tt began to de- cline, and the earnings on this side were transferred to London to meet the demands there. It con- tinued to sink, and some four years ago it transferred its affairs to the Hercules Insurance Company, another English concern, which, after struggling tor a time, became insolvent. The International Company then at- tempted to withdraw its funds from the Comptroller, bat met with a decided refusai, and last April the case came before the Supreme Court tn this city and resuited in the appointment of a receiver. The lia- bilities of the company are given at $900,000, and all the assets in this country are ‘tho $200,000 im the hands of the Comptrolier. Tne suspicious circum- stances im the case are said to have been that tno policy holders were not informed of the transfer to the Hercules Company, and even after the date of that transfer they were given receipts for premiums paid in the name of the Inter. nationai Company; also that the company re- moved their office from Wall street to Broadway without notice to the policy holders. The “disgusted oucy holder" also complains of the delay in wind- fag up the affairs of the company by the receiver, and hints that the amendatory insurance act of May 18, 1960, (eit 3 the compensation of receivers of insurance companies at five percent of the funds that may come to their sion, may ha’ thing to do with this delay, as premiums are being daily paid, increasing the funds. It may be that this course would increase the assets and consequently the pro rata share of the policy holders. Our cor- respondent wislies the latter to calla meeting and take the affair imto their own hands, and he hopes some one “who has been bitten more heavily” than he has, will take the tnitiative step in this direction.
