Real Estate in New York. We noted yesterday, in an article reviewing the present condition and prospective opportu~ nities of the real estate market, the influence which the change in our general financial con- ition brought about by the late considerable @ecline in gold has had upon this interest. The pending legislation in Congress looking 40 an increase in the volume of currency or funding the public debt were likewige referred to in this connection, and their effect upon real eatate noticed. The main point to be observed in examining the market at this day is its delayed activity as a consequence of these past snd possible monetary disturbances; but a wery decided improvement is to be found within the last few weeks, while many evi- @ences of incipient movement are mani- fest. The firmness of real estate on Man- batten Island, in spite of the many depressing causes that have occurred to affect ‘Sts value, isremarkable, Not even the natural reaction from the speculative fever of last spring, the decline in gold since, nor the falling off in the inquiry in the market, have operated to induce holders of good city property to make :@oncessions to purchasers. “Some sales have been made where the price obtained this year was less than last, but these were either the result of a pressure upon men in need of money Or consequent upon the transitory depreciation produced by changes in business. All the signs at present indicate an active, strong market for real estate this spring, and if any of the numerous propositions now before Con- gress to increase the currency should be adopted much speculative excitement may be looked for. Weioome ror a C#anaz—The cold snap which came rushing in yesterday on the wings of the northwest wind from the Rocky Moun- tains. It was welcomed as promising ice for the summer, possibly a day’s skating or more for ‘‘the young folks;” welcomed. as a neu- tralfzer of “‘the poison in the air” resulting from the late unseasonably warm and pro- tracted spell of spring weather in winter, and welcomed as a check upon the danger of a too early blooming of the fruit trees throughout the United States. For these reasons two or three days or even a week of Jack Frost, encased in icicles and snow, would be a bless- ing to the country, and especially in view of cheap ice in August and peaches and cream. A Goop Derznor.—Mr. Myers, a Congress- man from Pennsylvania, has, it seems, been included in the number‘of persons suspected of selling appointments to the military school. His defence is that his appointee is the son of a private soldier who died at Andersonville. We hope a great many Congressmen may be able to make the same defence ; and if bribery has this result we hope there may be plenty of bribery. FIRES LAST N.GHT.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 21, 1870. After ail the delightful weather wita which this latitude was favored during the early part of the Winter and until now, tue weather since the arrival of the Monarch in these waters has been out- Tageous. It seems as if tne elements have combined against the round of festivities planned for the en- tertamment of Captain Commerell aad his officers during their stay here. The oid salts say that the Monarch brought the baa weather with her, Not ‘being familiar with nautical matters I cannot vouch for the veracity of this, but certainly, if the accounts of the weather during the funeral ceremonies over the landing of the remalus of the distinguisned American phi- lanthropist be correct, the Monarch has been fol- lowed here by a large quantity of the same sort; for the weather king had shown a very mild temper until her arrival in the waters of the Chesapeake on Friday last, Yesterday Commodore Worden, Super- intendent of the Naval Academy, accompanied by Lieutenant Commander Wilson and Midshipman Holliday, of his statf, returned the official visit of Captain Commerell the day before. On the same tug were Captain Carter, Commandant of Midship- men; Mra, Carter, Thomas E, Stewart, ex-member of Oongress from New Yors, and wife; Mr. Worden, Jr. and wife, and Mrs. Commodore Worden. After the Commodore had exchanged the necessary official courtesies he was joined on the Monarch by the rest of the party. ‘The visitors were shown through the vessel, and after this inte- resting feature of tho visit was completed the party were entertained at an elegant dinner on board. The Commodore went on the ship at noon, but him- self and party, owing to the high gale biowiay, could not get off until nearly dark. At noon to-day Governor Bowie, accompanied by Mr. Holliday, Secretary of State, and Messrs. Earle and Henkle, of the Senate of Maryland, and Messrs, Webb and Hardcastle, of the House of Burgesses, left the academy wharf on the steam tug Mercury, and proceeding to the English ves- Sel was shown aboard. On Captain Commerell presenting himself, Mr. Earle, on belialf of the Le- gisiature, welcomed the Captain of the Monarch to the shores of Maryland. Having completed his re- muarks, which wero brief, he presented the preamble and resolutions of the Legislature as an oficial wel- come to the hospitalities of the State. Captain Com- merell expressed his thanks, and invited the distin- guished party to alunch. After a delay of an hour the Governor and party returned on board the Mer- cury and steamed back to the shore. During his visit Governor Bowie tnvited Captain Commereil and the officers of the ship he might see fit to bring with him to dinner at the Gubernatorial mansion, At six o'clock this evening Captain Commerell, accompanied by five of his officers, reached tne Governor’s mansion. As the vuilding 18 entreiy new and bus just fintshed, and, consequently, but partially furnished, the dinner took place in the family dining room. The table was beautifully laid out with Mowers, and im every particular was an elegant spread, worthy of the occasion. Besides Governor Bowle and lady and Captain Commerell and the officers of his party, there were invited Chief Justice Bartol, Judge brent, Commodore Wor- den and lads, Captain Carter and laay, Messrs. Earle, Henkie, Webb and Hardcastle, ot the joint committee; Mr. Holliday, Judge Merrick and others, making twenty-one fa all, The dinner was entirely of a social character.

Owing to tue dinner at the Governor's Mansion, it was pearly midnight be fore the more distinguished of the party arrived. Commodore Worden and lady mace their appear- ance after eleven o'clock and Captain Commerell ar- rived some minutes after. As soon as the Captain entered the room le found Mrs. Worden, daughter- in-law to the Commodore, and took part with ber in 8 waltz, Governor Bowie and lady aud otuer ofticiais of the State were last to arrive.

Human- ity and justice demanded that an ample provision should be made for all who had lost their imbs and been disabled in the terrible war through which we had just passed. Every consideration that could move the manhood of an American prompted them ve act promptly and not allow those wao had lost their limbs in battle to beg bitver bread from the cola hand of charity—“Through realwe their valor hadsaved.” Alter aslight reference to whet tnis vaior had saved the nation from, he concluded by expreseiug a hope that his own property and every man’s property would be taxed for tue buuding and the support of this home.

After an expression of regret that he coud not be Present ue said:— At the last session of the Legislature I urged upon it the continuance of the appropriation for the Soldiers’ Home, which had for some years been in operation in this city, under the linmediate control of the State government, an: which had been and w: m very successful in much- needed relief to the class of sufferers whose claims your meoting wiil recognize. The subject was, in my judgmicat, of s0 much fmportance that I’ made it the occasion of s special message. The Legislature, { regret to say, did not heed my appeal, and on act was ‘eg making ® limited appropriation, with the condition that the ome should be closed in'three or four mouths, In obedi- ence to this law the tnmates of the ‘home were transferred to United States asylums in distant States, very much against my inclination, and very much in many cases to the discom- fort jof the men transierred.

ADDRESS OF HENRY WARD BEECHER. Rev, HENRY WARD BeECHER sald that disabled soldiers wore more Lonoravle memoriais than the stripes of the generals. When he saw a one-legged or one-armed man be knew that that man had not slunk behind. The men who ran away from battles never lost alegor anarm. He referred to tue de- gradation of the State in allowing these men either to beg their bread, or by selling small articles at smaller profits to gain a bi cate on which to eke out a miteravie livelihooa. It was nota charity that they wished to establish that night, but it Was the performance of an act of justice to men who had bared their bosoms to the battie and lost thelr limbs in the struggie.. One of the marveis of the war and the peace was tat @ million of men who had gone out to nent bad returned and sunk back again into soctety, like the snow that sunk in the earth to entich the soil, and had taken their place and won for themselves by their industry as citizens bread for inermselves and their families. Mr. Beecher concluded @ very eloquent speech by a vivid summary Of the dangers and losses tne men who had fought in this struggle bad saved (16 Ha- on. ADDRESS OF GENBRAL SHERMAN.

But it seemed to nin that the ere knowledge of the fact was enough.

The first Sol- diers’ Home in the United States was established by Geueral Scott, who, when he took the city of Mexico, levied $100,000 for the establishment of this home, and one was built in she city of Washington, and Congress had supplemented thia by further Osuer homes had been established injtle Stat the one at Washington was the beat in ail respects. After relaung oue or two touching incidents that had come under Lis own observation on his visits 40 these bomes, Generai Sherman said that he thoroughly agreed with Mr. Beeouer when he said that the establishment of this home tn New York State was an act of justice and not of charity. What would have been this country with the Souin In possession, with its two thousand miles of fron- ter, with nothing buts stream dividing it from the North? What would have become of the stores in Broadway, with everything tu a state of siege and & war golug on that might, probabiy, nave lasted a hundred years?

Bowrry THtaTne.—That old Bowery stand-by, “The Three Fast Women; or, Fast Boys and Fast Girls,” was the great sensation at luis theatre last night, and Miss Fanny Herring tne attraction.

TaMMANY.—Burlesque, with all its glittering ac- companiments of tinsel, of tulle, of gauze and of Pretty girls in exaggerated and avbreviatea cos- tumes, still flourishes at this establisnment. And it flourishes extravagantly witnal, two of these pecu- larly spicy pieces veing on the bills for every even- ing during the present week—to wit, ‘The Glorious Seven” aad ‘Bad Dickey.” Both of these plays bave of late undergone @ judicious pruning, an@ last evening both were presented in their curtailed shape, aud both were rattied off in far more spar kiing manner than heretofore. In botn pieces, how- ever, the acting could still be greatly improved ana the plays thereby rendered a hundred fold more en- joyaole, Yet, ag it i, both pieces seem to ety ‘ne public, as is evinced in the frequent and, to @ certain extent, hilarious appisuse which ever and anon interrupts the periormance. In tue meanwhile extravagant preparations are being made at ‘the it wigwam"’ ior the production of a number of warting novelties which are being imported from Europe.
