HAVANA, Oct, 2, 1869, The attitude of the Spaniards and press of this city, and indeed of the entire island, toward the United States 13 threatening, aad the causes of com- plaimt are numerous, AS you have been advised tho Ayuntaniiontos of all the leading cities have seconded the war resolutions of the Havana municipality, calling on (he Captain General to pitch into any ‘for- eign Power which shall show, by direct or indirect acts of hostility, that they forget the rights of Spain or make any attempt against the honor due to her sovereiguiy.”” lo view of the recent action of the New York municipality, aa represented by its Com- mon Council, in calling on the government to recog- nize the Cubans as belligereats, it bas been sug- gesved tat the two corporate bodies be placed in an enclosure and allowed to Oght it out together. Should the result be as with the Kilkenny cats much would De gained, though it loft the great question unseitied. The latest “tread on the coat tail’ Is the alleged departure of the privateer Hornet from some portof the United Staces to prey upon Spanish com- merce, and it has called forth a very angry roar— Such lave I heard on Atrios burning shore, La Prensa, Wwilom a highly conservative and gen- erally sensible journal, is om this occasion the mouth- piece, and the other journalistic lions do not “think the first a bore,” but shake their manes with grave and lofty approbation. Its article is as follows, I translate in full, as a timely warning to the unforta- nate repubile of the north:— If it is true, aa says the telegram of the Associated Pi contrary to whut was to be expooted, that the Hornet has the United States, armad with seven cannon and manned by 180 persons, tle question is more delicate than Mr. Sickles’ note. As is easily understood the crew are Cubans by name only, for exoopting tue worthy officers of the nary who were born here and some old marines retired from the servic perhaps be found no sons of thé Island capable o} Jo: Tritts go as left, mannod by 150 men, and United States does not puree and punish them, then Know what to expect. ‘This act i# distines from those which hava preceded jt, for up to this their efforts have only been directed to embarking men and arms secretly for the insurgents. The article we bave written for our next isang and the letters of the 9th of Septomber addressed to tho HenALD by its correspondent at Mairi, and whioh we have translated, will explain how the people of the Mec owot ara suaing on the question of Cuba and the United Btates, If it {s irne that the Hornet has been thus armed, we believe the Anglo-Amertcan government will hold the authors to the most severe responsibility, and will give orders that the vessel be pursued and eanght wherever the men. war may ‘ind her. Lf itahould not da ga, God knows what conseqtiences maj result at a fosure day, not far distant, for an attempt so contrary to the priveiples of the laws of then, As to the damages the Hornet, converted Into an lucendiary Of the sens, might do, they canhot be as grave as those caused by twenty highwaymien secreted in the mountains of Cubs She may harm two or thres of the unarmed Spanish vessels which at thls season navigate in these waters, but her coal would soon give out audshe would be detained on entering we the port of any ctvillzod nation, xa the Cuban flag and the governments of Sibanicu and Guairaro are not known, and much less recognized. In considering this and other articles of the pres3 here, with a view of giving them their due importance, it shoulda always ba borne in mind that they are pub- lsued under a despotic goverument, where the press is under a rigid censorship, and are written by edi- tors who are prominent memvers of the “Casio Espaiol,’’ within whose walls Spanish sentiment shapes liself, aud they may be therefore regarded as the anthortlative expression of ie and peopi y cute how posaibie a war is, notwithst lug the relative strongta of the two Powers, and to What extent the bigotry and vanity of the Spamish yace may carry them toward thetr own destruction, There 1s yery considerable excitement and agita- (ion throughout the city on account of the Hornet, aa it is anticipated that, if out, she will turn her actention to the Slips bringing reluforcements from Spain, ihe condition of the finances of thia island cannot be much longer ignored. Heretofore, by common conseat, the bills of the Spantsa Bank, which prac- tically Inake up the currency of the island, have been received af or near their par value, though tt 13 Well known that mililona of its issue bave no other base than the pubiic confidence and tho faith of a government admitrediy bankrupt and now in the throes of revolution at home and abroad. This con- upon the business of thé iiand, Wacol Is Tikély'ed lacrease in geomotrical proportion. A correspond- ent, signing himself “Gold Specutator,” calls attea- tion to these faczs in a communication to the Voz de Cuba, and insists that the interests of the mercantile community demand that the real condition of the bank skoald be considered in estimating the value of its issues, The journal replies that at such a me to incite want of confidence tn the bank is a crime, and expresses the opinion that the writer would much prefer to pay his money to the Cespedes goverument, Uniortunately, bombastic and sen- tentious sentences wiil not bolster up poor paper, and, without an early suppression of the insurreo- tion, & fiuaucial convulsion is certain tocome upon us. The Vigilance and activity of the authorities in shutting up the avenues of assistance to the insur- gents are untiring. Ax order is about being issued requiring all natives of the island, Spanish subjects, desiring lo leave for any point, save Spain, to give a guarantee for their good conduct toward the gov- ernment in the sum of $5,009, Accounts roach us of the burning of several estates near Santi Espiritu and Trinidad.

We have received a copy of a circular addressed to the Spanish nation by “The Spaniards of the island of Cuba,’ in Which vehement protestations are made against the sale or the transfer of the “Ever Fatthful Isle.” The teuor is in the usual flowery style, and applies some hard expressions to Messrs. Cespedes, Quesada, Santa Lucia, Aguiiera and “the traitor Morales Lemus.’ Inference 1 also drawn that thoir eftorts against the Spanish govern- iment will reduce the fsiand to the same misersbie condition as that of St. Domingo, &c.

It appears that the Alice and Eva had quite a lively contest recentiy, the fortunes of the day reverting in favor of the former. But the triumph for the Alice was not the result of a set race ora purse Of $2,000, a8 In the previous struggle. It was entirely an impromptu affair on the part of the two schooners, whose respective merita bave so fre- quently been discussed. The race took piace from Red Hook Point to Cornfleld lightship, ao distance of one hundred miles, The Eva started of with a lead. Before reaching the Gate, however, the Alice passed her, and when at Sands’ Point the Eva was about two milesin her wake. Night coming on, the distance could not be ascertained ‘until the Alice arrived at the Cornfleld lghtsurp, an hour and forty-five minates in advance of the Everything considered, the Alice made ® gap Of Some sixteen miles between herself and the Eva, and, although it was thought that the Alice ude even greater speed in her contest with the Eva on the oth ult., her advantages did not equal this extraordinary gain. Jndging from the result of this, one would suppose that Commodore Kidd ought tw sausned = with the koown merits of hia craft. It ts understood, however, that nothing short of aset race and a valuable consideration will compensate bim for Mie “hard luck” in the race last mouth, It will be remembered that the Alice, after distancing the Eva by miles, was shut out of the race bya treacherous wind when within five miles of the home stake, Under all the circumstances Vaptata Sands, of the Eva, will accept Commodore Kidd's challenge to sail next June, In the race on Friday jast the distance was made by the Alice in nine hours and fiity minutes, and by the Eva one hour and forty five minuces ater, the yachis leaving Ked Hook at three o'clock. The arrangements for the race between the sloop racht Gracie (Commodore Vooriis) and the Made. ine (Jacob Voorhia, Jr.) appear not to have veon compleied, A challenge was recently issued by a gentieman interested in the success of the Gracie, to jail her against the Madeline (Winner of the Atlantic club pennant) from Sands Point to Shatford Point ligntehip and back for $6,000, jib and mainsall only, ite Jacob Voorhia timediateiy accepted the chal- lenge, but the date of the race has not yet been finally avttuled. SEQUEL 10 PRACZ ARTHUR'S V.5IT 10 LONDON, ONTARIO. What It Costs to Board and Lodge a Priuce for Two Days—A Londen Aldet “On His Make”=—The Late Tearing Down of the American Fing Denied by a Torento Paper, and tho Fact Ronssorted by a Herald dent+ esi heetbtag at ToRONTO, Ontario, Oct. 4, 1869, ‘There bas been quite an odious breeze stirred up since the visttof Prince Arthur to the Provinotal Exhibition, in London, some two weeks since. His reception there, as stated in the HBR ALD correspon- dence at the time, Was most cordial and enthust- astic, and thousands vame in from the surrounding country to pay him their respeots, Ho was we guest of the Agricultural and Art Associa- tion, and the managers of that society spared no pains or expense to render the visit of His Royal Highness pleasant and agreeable. In fact, 80 anxious were they to provide for his comfort while among them that they leased the entire dwelling house of Alderman Glackmeyer and placed it at his service during his two days’ sojourn in London. The managers of the society endeavored to obtain a fixed price for the use of his dwelling from the Alderman, but he said he would leave it entirely with the Agricultural Association, and that he cared only to be reimbursed for the actual expense which was incurred by him in extra arrangements. It should be stated, perhaps, that while the whole of the house was at the disposal of the Prince and his party the family or Alderman Glackmeyer occupied tt the same, and were not sertously inconvenienced or subjected to any extra- ordinary expense vy the presence of the royal party. 4s the story gocs, after the Prince had left, a committee of the Agricultural Society waited upon the Alderman for the purpose of cancelling their indebtedness for the two days’ use of his dwelling. He figured up bis expenditure and the trouble, and then submitted a bill of $2,500, The society demurred, and at length objected to payu any such extraordinary amount, but finally osere vo compromise 4 paying the handsome but unrea- sonablé sum of $1,000, The Alderman refused this, and it {8 now understood that he will commence a civil sult against the Agricultural Society for the recovery of the whole amount. The Prince, under the impression that the Alderman’s hospitality was in Keeping with thatof the Agricultural Association, left numerous and valuable presents in bis family, and all were cheerfully accepted. In view of altnis it is hardly to be wondered at that there is general surprise and not ailttle popular indignation that the Alderman should have allowed his 1688 LO overcome his regard for decency. rO- viacial papers, la commenting on the aifair, gives veut to the followin; London is squaring up her books just now, and finds that between Prince Arthur knd the Provinctal Fair sundry sations of an unpleasant claracter have to be charged up, as Important items in the account of her last week's glory.’ 1n the ‘rst piace some, truly loyal ‘and patriotic eltizens en- dea: oret to turn the visit of his royal Highness Into an ex- ceeding!y promising financtal speculation, The billa the cabvies have senc in are simply enormous, and Indicate that drawing royalty around must produce immense wear and teur on horaetiesh and wheeled vehicles.

On bis’ departure the Prince gave a number of vuluable resents to Mr. Glackmeyer and members of his ‘aroily, under the {mprossion, no doubt, that the use of the house had Leen gratultionsly given for the cocasion, And now Alderman Glackmeyer sends in & Dill of 89,000, and has actually refused $1,000 offered lim by the Agricultural Association, If Alderman Glack- meyer intends to make money out of the occason, in com- mon decency he should return the presents recetvet by hito. Mouse rent must be on the rise in London, when » fow rooms for a few days aro valued at #2,50). Another {nteresting scandal has been ventilated. Tt ls more of ‘a private chacacter than those juat mentioned: yot it in none the less disgraceful. It arose’ from an assanit by Cap- tain Meredith, o: the Volunteers, on his superior oflicer, Colonel Lewia., Meredith consiered that he was {mprope treated by Lewis, and, by way of revengo, slapped that gen- tleman’s ace on the ‘frst favorable opportunity. For the offence ho-wes takea bofore the police magistrate and fined twelve dollars, It will be generally remembered that in the HeRap’s account of the Prince’s reception m Lon- don mention was made of an tasuit to the Ameri- can flag, and that the insult consisted in the tearing down of that representative banner from one of the arches in the principal streets, and the ripping of the same into rags sufficiently fine for a paper mill. I observed at the time that the act was de- ARACEALRY, the walorsty.of the London people, but and influence, and that their funds rewarded the rough and irresponsible men who committed the outrage. Since the account of the affair was pub- Ushed in the HeraLp the Globe of this city has given vent to the following:— A despatch to the New York papers states that while Prince Arthur was {n London an Amorioan flag which ha! been hung In the decorations was pulled down and torn to pieces." Thereupon the HERALD comments in terms hardly pleastn, to Canadians, ‘The story is an entire fabrication. Sever American flags were hoisted in London during the fair sido hy side with the Union Jack, and they were in no way inter- fored with. Canaians are not in the babit of indulging in such petty acts. Fre juentiy the American and Frenc thas may be seen flying aide by aide with our own over the same buildings Tt simply an act of courtesy er of noone, The practice, however, will not be long continued if American newspaper correspondents do not confine themselves a little closer to the truth. Whether or not this condescension is an act of courtesy, or whether or not it excites anger among the loyal Britons, or whether or not it will be long continued, fhe HERALD correspondent ts not pre- fete lo say. He feels justified, however, in adher- ing to iis former statement and repeating most ewphatically that the American flag was not only torn down tn London, but that it was afterwards torn into fragments, and the largest part that could be found of it was not more than one-twentieth of the original size of the banner. The flag destroyed was owned by J. C, Derby, manager of the Tecumseh House, and it was borrowed of him and put in tts place in the arch by Captain Wilaon. Both these gentlemen and hundreds of others in Condon, as well as the HRRALD correspondent, are willing to take oath to the fact a8 already told tn @ former letter. RIVALRY BETWEEN PUBLISHERS, We have received and willingly publish the fol lowing communication from Messra, Harper & Brothers on the subject of George Eliot's novels. While caring nothing for the rivairies of publishers, except In so far as the unfortunate authors suffer therefrom, we do not hesitate to assert that It 1s bigh time some arrangement waa entered into, in the ab- sence of an International copyright law, whereby these squabbles between publishers of prominence and respectab.lity may be avoided in the future. Most certainly if, as the Messrs, Harpers assert, they have pald in the aggregate the sum of $5,000 tn gold for early sheew of the novels in dispute, they have @ moral right to their exclusive publication, which should not be dispated, It 1s a sad fact, however, that our publishers pay but littie respect lor each other’s “moral rights,” profit being to them of greater consideration than morality. We would remark, in conclusion, that all the ‘“‘com- ments” of the HERALD on the subject have been confined to simple references to the rivalry existing between the Messra. Harper and Messrs. Fields, Osgood & Co., in the publication of these works, without offering any opinion upon the merits of the FRANKLIN Square, New York, Oct. 6, 1860.

Wo cannot longer stibmatt to this outrage and noglect on the part of our Iocal oicials, Believing that you, sir, have the power we ask you to e: tend some reliof, either by creating newastage routes or chi ing old ones or compelling the Madison avenue aud Filth ave- nue stage lines to extend their routes to Eighy-sixth street, the Harlem Raliroad Company to stop trains at con enieat points between Harlom ani For'y-socond treet, or t9 run dummy eugines from Harlem to Fourteenth strect in fifteen minutes, and to force the same gormpany to com 0 thelr horse raliroad on Madison avenue forthwith, as they possess the franchise. We are forced to add that the time bas now arrived when something must be done, and the undersigned are resolved and pledge ourselves not to vote for soy Bayor, Alderman, Asalstant Alderman, Senator or Assomblyman who will not ald us in obtaining the relief we ask of you, Mr. Fo.ey sald—This petition, Mr. Mayor, ts signed by nearly one thousand of the good people of the Twelfth and Nineteenth wards, and as chair- man of the organization by which this petition was originated I must tell you frankly ({ doubt if your Honor will think tess of me for so doing), being a man of business, [ like plain ta’k. Tho people of this city should know just what we bave to contend with, Ithas beon stated that we cou'd not procure the relief necessary from the Common Council uniess we brought down here forty or fifty thousand dol- lara, even thon the result would be doubtful, and why; because, it would interfere with one of the other stage route—the proprietor of which is @ prominent member of the Tammany Hall “ring,” or gatd to be, The time may be near at hand wien the people of New York, will have to look into and demand a strict account of the $30,000,090 sata Lo be spent to carry on the city gov- ernment annually; and the four or five gentfemen constituting the Tammany Hall “ring,” which it ts conceded governs the ciiy pnd its immense popula- tion, must understand, onco for all, that if the people do look on quietly and observe these same gentlemen accumulate millions of money which they call their own, that some little coasideratioa 1s dus to the people of this city. Sewers are built, new streets are opened and other improvements mace, and to pay the extravagant “job” or “ring” charges {gr so doing our proyerty 1s assessed, and then We have no’ meaki of access to it, and this ig the actual condition of nearly all the valuable property north of Forty-second street, between Fifth and Third avenues. The people of Yorkville have b-rne this evil long enough. The poor workingman, the delicate female and children, who are compelied to use the Third ave- nue cara, are often forced to stand for hours, packed Audie together far worse than onttle— fay a na metetay PAUperd sick pation(a, ifesh from Biackwell's wud Ward's islands, How long 1s this to continue? Only during your Honor’s pleasure, for we are now ready to prove that the Common Council has the power to change some of tbe present stage routes to run up Fifth, Madison and Lexington avenues to Kighty- sixta street, and this can be done in forty-eight hours; and also to compel the Harlem Railroad Com- pany to run cars on Madison avenue at once, One of the eal SY Journals asks if we, the people of Yorkville, will support the Tammany hall slate? Like most of the residents of the district, I aim a democrat, and [think I Know the disposition of the people of the Twelfth and Nineteenth wards. Isay no. Our people are determined not to submit any longer to tlis outrage, and 1 am instructed to say further, that unless we have immediate relief not a single Tammany Hall or “ring” candidate wil be elected mm our district this fall. You may by your refusal force us into this position, and if ao, my word for it, the Tammany slate will be sadly out of order after the election. Mr. R. W. Townsend hay kindly consented to act as counsel for the associa- tion. He, 1 think, will be able to satisfy your Honor, from acts passed in 1554 and 1857, that the Mayor and Common Council have all tae power necessary to grant the relief we ask. r. Foley then handed the petition and his ad. dress to the Mayor, who said:— Lunderstand the address you have just been read- ing 18 your own,\und is not signed by the petitioners, Mr. FoLRY—\cs, gir, it ia iny own, but tt is en- dorsod by all the members of our association. Mayor HALi-—There is a great deal of your rhetoric which {do not agree with. I don't know about any ‘Hall’ ring in tuis matter. I can only hear of an Oakey Hail ring at present, and [ must say that Lam very happy to be io the rivg that is present here. Now, Mr. Townsend, [ woul like to have you demonstrate that any persons short of the Legisiature have any right (to interfere with tne transit through te Maes by either stage or railroad, Mr. TOW: p—In the act authoriaing the estab- Igument of stage routes—m the laws of 1854, volume 1, page 325—we flad the fourteenth section of that act savs that before any stage route should be estab- lished—excepting, Of course, such roates as were then in existence—application should be made in writing to the Mayor of the city, settimg forth the route and the namoer of stages purposed tw be run; @nd that unless the Mayor saall send such applica. tion, with bis approval, to the Common Council, and a majority of tna members of both Boards of the Common Council shall vote in favor of it no such rowie shall be estabiishea, And in section seventeen of the same act it provides that the Common Council shall have the right to make arrangements for running such lines of stages as may be necessary for the con- venence Of citizens and not incompatible with the convenience of the streets in which the route 1s laid. In @the stage act passed tn 1867, and which we know was passed iu the interest of the then existing stage monopolies, it is provided that no new stage route shail be suthorized by the Common Council ‘unless @ majority of the property owners on such streets or avenues in or on which such proposed route 1s latd shail first consent in writing; and in sec- tion second of the same act it is provided that nothing contained In the act shall be construed wo interfere with existing franchises, and any ‘hive ‘ancl ted thereafter shail be disposed of at suction to fre highesi der, in the same manner as other franchises are disposed of. Mr. Townsend te went on to dilate on the insuf- ficiency of communication with down town, and said that im the immense territory from Fortleth street to Harlem river, and between Fifth avenue and Third avenue, there was no method of commu- nication with down town except by the Ihird ave- nue railroad. Now we come to a as @ magistrate and 43 @ man, and ask you to relieve us and ask you to send in the application which we present, with your approval, to Common Council, We want to have @ stage line estabhshed from Ninety-fourth street, through Fifth avenue to Twenty-third street and Broadway to Eighth street, The second act I read concedes the right of the Common which Council to esiabiish stage routes where such m be necessary, provided they are Appiled for py @ majority of the ty owners on the proposed route. Now we asl the Fifth avenue line or the Madison avenue tine or the Third Avenue Railroad Company to prevent this great portion of the city from having easy, healthy communication with down town? And @ further Fequest | would make ofyou. Ae supervisor of the interests of this city you may have Bg ead to compel the contractor who has charge of the ling of Madison avenue to complete the work. The avenue hasbeen in the same condition for three or four years past, while the contract could have been com- leted in aix months or @ year at the most. Ihave m informed, and by authority, that the Fourth Avenue Railroad Company will use the franchise which it possesses and run cars on Madi. soa Avenue as soon as the grading is completed. We do not find fault with the Third Avenue Kaiiroad Company. They do the best they can, but they can- not do enough. Property in that section, although valuable, wo sell, and property owners won't build a8 long as there are not suMfcient means of communication with down town. If such com- munication existed buildings would go up and every house would triple the value of Lid ak nei and thus give three times ag much taxable property, from which revenue to tie city covld be drawi Now, Mr. Mayor, there are no politics ta this matter; it is not @ political movement. Maycr HALL (interrupting)—It is a politic mov ment, however. (Approving smiles from all present af & most complacent bow from Mr. Townsend.) Mr. TOWNSEND (resuming)—All the people in that section, licbrew and Christian, Protesiant and Cat ollie, are One on this sabdject, and will vote as one man to have the matter compioted. Mayor HaLi—Now, Mr. Townsend, [ would like to Ask you @fow quosions, Aside from the rhetoric of Sh potion. let us look at somo of the clains made. Tight nave the Mayor ana Common Council to compel the Madison avenue and Filth avenue stage lunes to extend their route t Mr. TOWNSEND—I did not draw up that petilfon, Mr, Mayor, and there are some chings in it which L ve are decidedly inpracticabie, Mayor Hatt—Can we compel the Harlem fall- road to stop at convenient poluts between Harton and Forty-second street? Mr, TOWNSHND made virtually the samo reply as above. Mayor HALL—Then we might compel the Harlem Railroad Company to ran dummy engines, but about obliging them to go “irom Harlem to Fourteenth street in fifteen minutes,” I think that wouid reat entirely with themselves, There is one point in the tition with whicd I entirely comeide, thatis where t says “We are forced to add that the time nas now arrived when something must be done.” Now, low me ask again, What right have the Common Council to grant a trancnise where one already exista? ir. TOWNSEND—Legally I taink the Gommon Coun- ctl have the right to grant fialf a dozen franchises. ‘The only question ts one of expediency, Mr. ‘Town- send then reiterated his requost that the appiteauion should be submicted by the Mayor to the Common Council, and that he would look after the contractor who had charge of the grading of Madison avenue. Mayor Hati—About this “outrage” business and “neglect on the part of our local oMelals.” There cannot be any neglect tn the ma ter, v8 the Common Council cannot make any stage line or create a route uatil there are applicauons presented asking for tt, TownsaNp—I understand there has been such an application made, but I don’t know personally of any previous application having been made to your honor or the present Common Council, Mayor HALL—This 1s the first application that has been made to me, and It will be my duty to subinit it to the Common Council, and there my power ends, And it seems to me that it may be a question if the majority of the property owners aiong the route petition for it, whether the Common Council will not be obliged to grant it. If that be @ correct view under the statute it is not only inexpedient but undiplomatic to commence opera- tions in regard to this by inveizhing against the Common Council. I shall submit it to the Common Councu, bat beyond that you must do the work. With alt deference to whatever gentlemen drew up this petition, { must say that it sooms to me like a very olever plagiarism of the Mayor’s last message. Now, aside from my official capacity, as an indivi. dual, I must gay no point impresses me more than ‘tht ject of rapid local transit. I regard it as of the utmost Importance to the future of the city. In regard to stage routes, [ think they belong more to the past, and I would im allusion to the remarks against the Filth and Madison avenue ltnes that if [owned such valuable franchises | would figat against anybody else getting au opposition. We are all human, and I think any of you gentlemen would do the same thing. In regard to voting against any mayor, assemolyman, senator, &c., 1 think 80, too. ‘Tnis isa matter of public good, ana any Public oficer who votes against it sould be voted against. But thia is the first time that | ever heard of any New York Senator or Assemblyman oharged with negiect to vote for a railroad; the complaint has Deen that they were rather too lavish in giving out franchises. Tnis is certainiy a iatter between tne Common Council and the public good, ana the Common Councii, I have no doubt, wili co their part. I willset the bali in motion, but whether it will turn out to pe a football or a base ball remains to be seen. Heretofore ihe impress for railroad com- munication has been by a sort of gueriila warfare; applications made by coterics rather thaa masses, and the gentlemen in the upper part of the etty are keeping up this spirit of working together in this matter; and when the Legislature comes to under- stand that there are no more Clique or coterie appil- cations, but applications made by those who not only point out the miscbie!, but also suggest the remedy, they wili co-operate with you. What you need is railroads for rapid transit, ‘The MAYor then went on to speak at length of the practicability of the Underground, Elevated and Pneumatic Tauway system, and said that the great anference between this country and those in watch sucn systems had been carried out was that in those counties capital is plotboric. Capital josties capital, But here the peopie cannot afford or won't afford to wait for the return of their investments for four or five years. When a man can go down to Wall street snd invest $5,000,000 and realize rapidly he won't put tein a@ ratiroad which takes five years to build. Capital is the ditticulty, and you have to agitate not only for power but for popularity among capitalisis. Lam giad we have come ¢o some understanding and that it can taxe this practical form. Mr. TowNsendD—The application will require your approbation betore the Cominon Councii can act on It, and | take it that it does not need your signature after it shall have passed the Co.imon Council. Mr. TOWNSEND—Ii the matter were passed we have stages, horses, harness, and all necessary to go right to work to-morrow. Mayor HaLi—The granting of such privilege may invoive the city in # law sult. Dut assuming that there 13 no legal opposition in the way, I certataly prove of your application. As to putting the stages on to-morrow, I don’t think it would do to interfere with the vested rights of the corperations aa franchises until the subject was fully jecided. A gentleman with a blonde beard and very stronz spectacies said:—Mr. Mayor, in regard to those pated Repiad would ask you, as one of the sufferers, to add tn Tf Bpyrsoation a request to the Fiith ave- nue and Madison lines, to eXeraise their rights and ron their stages pay far as their franchises aliow; let them give us the relief we ask or let somebody eise do 80, Mayor Hati—In reference to the gradiag of Madi- son avenue the trouble seems to be somewhat that the building going on on either side tnierferes. The great difficulty is that the Department are not homo- penoes The Croton Aqueduct Department acts Independently of the Street Vepartment, and I have nocontroi over either. It has been ciatmed that the Croton Aqueduct Department Is a Legisiative com- mission, but that ts contested. Mr. Townsend again referred to the grading of Madison avenue, and explained how the contractor having the work was amassing wealth at the incon- venience of tho residents of the nolghvorhood, After fomo further desuliory conversation the Mayor said thac he would attend to the matter, afver which the gentlemen withdrew.

The regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Vommerce was held at one P. M. yesterday, ex- Mayor Opdyke in the chair. Mr. George F. Chuter one of the commissioners on licensing of satiors’ boarding houses in this city and Brooklyn, sent in his resignation, the conse- quence of his resigning being his removal to Penn- sylvania. The resignation on motion was accepted and Captain Charles 0, Duncan appointed to fill the vacancy. A letter was received from the Secretary of tho National Board of Trace announcing the expiration of the terms of service of the four delegates to that body from the Chamber, and recommending appoint- ments to Mill the vacancy.

Another Maguvificent HNdifico for Wards Ksiand=The New County Lunatic Asylum Kis Archicectare, Extont and Arrangoment= Progress of the Work. On an elevated knoll ta noarly the centre of Ward's Island, from which tue gcound gently slopes dowa to the water's cage, is betag built, under Atrectton of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, & now, large and magnificent asylum for lunatica. Most of the extensive fonndation walls have beeu Jaid and a portion of the structure is alreaay com- pleted to the second story. The eatire edifice, tt ls expected, will be in readiness for the reception of patients by the 1st of next August, When compieied it will be ane of the Naost buildings of the kind in this country. Krom s porches, windows, gable ends and steeple, rising in graceful outlines above its summit, Wl be presented a grandly picturesque view of tho East river, skirting elther shore of the istand, of Hell Gate and its unceasing tarbulence of waters, of Astoria nestled amid an unwonted luxuriant wealth of leafy ioliage, of .the erry- boat landings at the foot of Ninety-secoud and Eighty-sixth street ferries, witn their sur- roundings of sailing crafts of all Kinds, and the @ayly painted rowboa's of Blackwell's Island ana the Monster buildings gcatsered over tt, of the far receding shores and wharves and dweilings of the great busy city, aud the huge sicamers and sailing vessels continually going back and forth, and pro- senting @ panoramic scene of perpetual animation, ‘There has long been urgent neceasity of this asylum, For a long time the asylum for the insane on Black- well’s Island has fatled to surnigh suitable accommo- dations for the number of patients obliged to be placed there for treatment. At this institution thera are now about 1,200 inmates, which is twico as many ag can be suitably accommodated. The evil conse- quences growing out of this massing together within such limited space such a nuinber of this unfortu- nate class of people were last winter repeatedly set forth in the columns of the HekaLp, With such clearness of incontrovertible statement and such graphic delinea'ton of existing horrors were these evils portrayed, that the Commissionérs, of Charities and Correction began to open thelr” eyes to the importance of taking active and specdy measures to apply the proper remedy, The only remedy they found was to build & new asylum, and this was at length agreed upon. The site on Ward's island to which we have alluded was selected, and Mr. Renwick, the architect, was instructed to pre- pare suitable plans. Having determined to make a second to no other institution of the kind in the country, the plans of all the principal lunatic asy- tums m the United States and in Furope were care- fully studied, so as to embody tn this not only all the best features of other institutions, but to steer clear of their errors. It is thas believed that the plana agreed upon for this now asylum are well nigh per- fect, both in their minatest details as well as gonerat features. A description of what the building is to be when completed we give below. To facilitate description and unnecessary repetitions we will speak ef the building as completed. The building consists of a centre building and six wings, The centre butlding ts 264 feet long by 60 fect wide, The two wings timediately joining it at right augles are each feetiong by 64 feet wide, and tue four remaining wings are about the same size, The main fropt. aa thus will be seen, is long and imposing. itis built of brick, with ornamenta- tions of Ohio stone, ‘The main centre ts three stories. high, with a Mungard roof, while the wings are two stories above ground, also with Mansard roof, Tae style of architecture is the early decorated Gothic style. It will be faced by Coliaberg brick, relleved by bands, arches and awnings of Onio stone, The north front of the contre building Ig divided into @ centre and flauked by two gables. A double fight of steps leads to the entrance, waich ls a projecting porch with | formed columfis and arcues, of beaatiiul pay of Ohio stone, Bay wiodows give pleasing itoctural effet to the gables. Corresponding tyle and Gnish with tuts front are the sideg and rear. ‘The south front in ite generat design 1s [tke the front we have described, with the exception that in front of the ‘sup roows,’’ as they are called, but the pariors in fact, the octagonal ends are carried up three stories high, and ornamented witp columns, hand- some caps, bases and traceries in the windows, The entire roof 18 covered witn slate stone, Tne Mansard roofs, gable eads, tleche sleeper rising above the chapel, gives to the exterior a grandly massive aud yet pleasingly picturesque appearance. And DOW We pass to tie taterlor of the building. It Is tatentea to accomnmodase 500 patients. ‘Tie centre building is divided into two parts, connected by fireprool corridors, The first part, ern north, contains tue private apartments of the resident phy sician, assistant physicians, wardens and matrons. ‘These apartments are arranged in flats, after the French Style, so as to Make each separate and dis- tinct from the other, ‘This part is 56 by 80 feet in dimensions and four stories ugh, The second part comprises three stories and a basement. The vase- iment istwelve feet high. ere are the kitchen, storeroom and siceping and dining apartments for the attendauts, Gu the first story are the library rooms for the tamates, the apothecaries’ shop, the general oifica, reception room for visitors, a room for the comumiss'oners aud dining room for the assistants. ‘The secon story 1s divided into wards and bedrooms for engineers and assistants. On this door also 18 a gymnast, o4 feet wide by 76 feet long, for the patient All the appliances for exercises will be placed here, such as are to be found in other symoasiums. If 48 also in contemplation to have & biiliard rooin, but its location has not yet been defi nitely fixed upon, On the third story is the chapel. Ics dimensions are 50 fees wide by 80 Ivet jong, it is also arranged as a place of entertainment for the inmates, as giving lectures, masic lantern exht - bitions and such hke, Upon this cuapel 1s a steeple, ising to the height of 136 feet above tue ground, ‘Tue two wings adjoining the main contre are con- nected by corridors, 40 feet long and 12 feet wide, Fireproof staircases lead from the cellar to the third story, in each ward, aud are connected on each story with reception roums for paticats, so that Vieltors can go to aay Ward witout bem seen by those in ocher ward3. The wards are divided on each story by a central corridor, fourteen feet wide, on each side of which are patients’ rooms. ‘These rooms are each 7 icet wide by 12 feet 6 inches long, and colling i2 feet high, There is one room tor each patient. 2 room has a spacious win- sow, adording abundant light. The appliances for heating aud ventiation are of the most perfect description, there being a separate heating flue for each room. There are two patiors ior patients, the first 16 by 27 (ect in size and the otuer 14 feet square. Hach of the two main rooms will accommodate eighty patients, her the that is to say floor being divided into wards, xactly the same pian are arranged the rematning wings. Hach ward tas wasustands, Water Closets and baths for the use of patie.ta, The corridurs are divided by folding doors, 80, 12 case of violence by any pationt, he can be cut of tmmeciately from communication with auy other portion of the building. Ali the interlor arrangements of this building, Without going minutely tato ail the detatia, it is only necessary to say furtuer are of the moat perfect dea- eription, The whole outlding 18 heated and venti lated by steam boliers in the basewent of a separate buitdig. The ventilation will be by fans in the cellar of each, worked by @ steam engine, Bo as to insure at ail tithes the most thorough ventilation, Another important point is the spaciousness of the separate rooms for the patients and the cosey com- lort pervading cach. The old-fasnioned and bar- barous plan of weating tnsane persons a8 one would treat wild beasts, by doubiy iocking aud boiting them into gloomy rooms with iron bars and all the show of @ prison, is wholly discarded, A leading feature of the Management is to make everything cheerful; to give abundant outdoor and indoor amusements; to attract patients to the parior, made as cheerful as can be by sunsnine, pictures, flowers, music and pleasant company to AcoUuAge Fecourse to che Lbraty, stocked with sult- rie, agreeable and instructive books, to entice to role in the gymnasinm and attendance at lec- tures and other enferiaiuments in the chapel, whose sole purpose 14 diversion and amusement, There are rooms for violent patients, With keepers’ rooms ad- Joining them—a necessity tn all institutions of thia character; but in the main each will ve tia own tnester—or at least be made to think ne Is—as much as though he was stopping at a large hotel, All the interior arrangements and fnish are of the moat at- tractive character, and bright and inviting to the auients. The intention 1s to make it the most per- ct possible in all iis details, with due regard to economy. The estimated cost of this new asylum is $700,000. The Commissioners have evinced a truly commend- able and liberal spirit m the matter thus tar. Taere is no public institution under their charge for we inaiatenance of which every taxpayor will more cheerfully pay than for the sapport of tus most humane charity. THE FEMALE LOBBYIST AGAIN, Another Victim Saneals. Yesterday afternoon Robert Haha, anotber victim of the notorious female lobbyist, Mrs, Feist, of 42% St. Mark’a place, came before Justice Mansfeld, at the Easex Market Police Court, and applied for a warrant for her arrest on the ground that she had Aefrauded hin out of the sum of twenty-five dol- under promise of obtaining for hit a position ip the Custom House as Night luspector, He testified that on the occasion of his visit to her during the month of April last ale represented thas she was in the habit of receiving at her house some of the most imfluential government officials to the country, among others, Sonator Nye and Congress~ oe Lash. After receiving his money she put him whenever he called ta inquire after his place ‘Whtil tis patience waa exhausted and he began to think that lie lad boen badly sold, ‘The warrans Was gragted,
