NEW YORK 19 A CITY OF NOMADS, Whence we derive this demoralizing habit of mov- ‘ang every year is amystery. It can scarcely have ome to us irom aur Dutch ancestors, whose oppo- sition to change and conservative tendencies, like ; sheir phiegmatic disposition, are national traits, and ‘mas, most likely, gcown up, like some rank and ‘poisonous plant, out of the rich Inxuriance of our commercial prosperity. The annual marcu of trade, drawing to its uses every year more and more ef the city’s surface, extending ita repulsive Weatures by degrees into the most select “and = fashionable neighborhoods and send- ‘ang offensive odors into our very sleeping ‘wpartments, has imposed upon us In the first place disagreeable necessity of a frequent change of esidence, which is maintained by the unreasonable prejudice we exhibit to moving far enough—that is, $to suoh distance where we are nos likely to be dis Surbed et least for some years. This has been a farest mistaxe. It ‘has resulted not aiove m tne @normous imposition we suffer under in the way of Ypigh rents, but in bringing about, a mucn sadder Condition of things, in thay WE HAVE NO HOMES.

Yonkers, a8 every New Yorker knows, is station on the udson ‘River Raliroad, about seventeen wiles from the City Hail. ‘There are twenty-nine trains daily each way beuween it and New York city, the frst down train leaving at six A. M. and the last up train at half-past eleven P.M. The ruoning time on the Hudson River Rail- from the depot at ‘Thirueth street is forty minutes. Tickets are now sold tn packages of 100 at nineteen dollars, which makes the cost of wans- Portation on the steam rallroad for one person for a year about $119. WHAT COMMODORE VANDERBILT SAYS. ‘This 18 the present time table and rates. Mr, Dut, however, recently waited upon Commodore Vanderbilt to ascertain whether some im. provement could uot be effected im these matters, The Commodore expressed himself a8 disposed to extend all possible facilities tothe mbabitants of Yonkers, und among other things run’a later train at night, making the last up at twelve o'clock. Ip regard to the question of com- Mutation he told Mr, Duftin his well known man- ner to “see Wiliam,” but subsequently explained that they had this matter under considerauion and would give it early attenuuon. It 18 expected—with the opentng of the ele- vated railroad in Greenwich street, which has tis terminus atthe Huason River Railroad depot, and which will materially shorten the through time to the lower part of New York—that with the addl- tonal passenger trafic certain to follow more libe- ral terms of cummutation will be granted, ‘ REAL ESTATE MATTERS. Condition of the Rent Market—Auburban Sales and Improvements. The week closed on 8 dull market, with a weak fechng among buyers, who are mostty looking for & fall tn prices, Considerable improved property 1s offering, as is usual during the weeks preceding the 1st of May, the unusval pressure of tenants this Year for cheaper rents inducing # greater disposition among owners to seil out and prompting more Lib- eral concessions. The times, however, are rather Perilous for such investments. There is notbing new to La of rents, Some few landlords have ex- hibited a ai ition to meet the popular demand in ® liberal spirit, but by far the greater number still hold oué for higa rents, walle ihe tenant class are equally ananimous tn bolding off. Patience yet awhile longer on the part of the latter will, we think, find its reward. Long Island Real Estate. ‘The Long Island real estate market continues brisk and sales are on the increase.

The greater duluess was due to the greater firmness in THE GOLD MARKET, Where the extreme fluctuation was irom 111% @ 145%, both of whicn prices were made on the same day—viz., Monday—ana in the order of the higher to the lower price, the decline being due to the In- troduction of Senator Sumner’s bill to compel the banks to hoard their specie at such rate as to turn thelr reserve eventually into coin. After this flurry the market became quiet ani comparatively steady and firm, the price 112% emg made on Saturday, during the earlier hours of business and belore the table of exports and imports was made public, The firm- ness in gold during the week was due to a quict | buying movement on the part of those who think gold “cheap” a¢ stich prices, no resistance being offered for the reason that the “bears’’ aro afraid to sell at the figures which now prevail. Tho exports having falien off from the previous average encouraged the “bulls,” but on Saturday the im- ports for the week showed a diminution over two millions as compared with the previous week. The effect on gold remains to be seen, Meantime the prospective fallure of the Funding bill in the House gives the ‘‘buils’ temporary support in their views of tiie market, ‘The extreme Nuctuations daily dur- ing the wook were as follo' THK STOCK MARKET. ‘The stock market waz heavy, weak and lower, prices undergoing the decline which, in the estima- ton of the “‘bears,”’ shoutd have accompanied the dectine in gold from 120 to 1104, but which the “bulls” staved off by a stubborn resistance, This falling movement has been more signally exhibited in Northwestern preferred, which has gradually re- ceded from 92 to 81%. The aecline ts less marked by direct contrast in, but is distributed in fair pro- portion throughout the rest of the list, The firmness in gold and the ease in money checked the decline at the close of the week, and a reactionary feeling was quite strong in Saturday’s transactions. THR GOVERNMENT MARKET. During the decline in gold the effect upon the gov- ernment list was to a considerable extent counter- balanced by the advancing quotations in London and the demand for bonds on European account. Both these latter influences were lost to the market during the past week, five-tweuties in London being weaker and declining on Saturday to as low a3 905,. ‘The effect was a slow decline of a fraction eacti day, until on Saturday thé lowest prices were made in the second downward turn which governments have taken since their original “break,” when cold went to 11014 and the Funding bill passed the Seuate. THE MONEY MARKET. The rate on call ranged from four to five per cent, With exceptions at six percent on miscellaneous collaterals, On Saturday loans were made as low as three per cent on governments. The outflow of cur- Fency expected in convection with the spring ae- mands in the rural districts tas not been as large as originally anticipated, the banks having lost omy half s million legal tenders during the week, Indeed, with tne low prices of farm- ing products it is douptful tf the farmers will reqaire as much money this spring as heretofore. The prospect of light returns for their labor checks their agricultural enterprise, Again, the disposition of Walt street to discount the activity expected at this season has asststea the de cline in prices in Wail street and the shrinkage of values sets more capital at liberty. Hence the rate on call has not responded to the prospect of activity, especially a8 the banks, in possessing a surplus of $25,000,000 above their legal reserve, are in a post- tion to meet tue drain to the country stould it be of noriual proportions. ‘THE BANK STATEMENT. ‘The weekly statement of the associated banks, in @ further loss of about half a million of legal tenders, reflects the continued but decreased move- ment of currency to the rurat districts, so usual at thig season, the beginning of which this spring was first noticed In the bank statement of last week. A loss of nearly a million ana a half of specie is due to the customs payments of the week. The decrease in deposits is only a nitilion, against a total joss im reserve of nearly two millions, the banks having expanded their loans nearly the latter amount, their liberality being due to the reduced figure on call loans during the week, which compelled them to enlarge their line of discounts rather than suffer thetr funds to lie unemployed or to go into Wall street at four to five per cent, when prime endorsed paper was to be had at seven to eight per cent apa govd single names at eight to ten. The statement is untavorabie in showing a decrease of over a million and a halt dollars in the surplus above the legal reserve of the banks. The last twe statements are as follows:—~ March 12.

SA0ES WATSON WEBB AS A DIPLOMAT AND REPORTER, AND ON THE RAMPAGE. ‘To THs Rorron oF Tas HeRaLp :~ Although Mr. Webb has given to the world a very Interesting and patriotic tetter on the subject of Cuban aifairs, for which he has received due credit, yet on another point he appears to have allowed his Prejudices to get the better of his judgment, and his aifloulties with Admirals Godon and Davis seem to have made him so bitter against the navy gen- erally that be is now attempting to misiead the pub- Ne to regard to naval affairs in the West bndiea, His special views, as put forth in bis etter from Havana, published in tho Tribu ment here, but as naval matters Sion just at present some of his moss offensive Temarks require to be noticed, not for the purpose of bringing him into disrepate, but to keep the pub- lic posted on naval affairs, It is well known that Mr. Webb has for the last four years endeavored to obtain the command of-our Brazil ficet, and those who bave read bis evidence before the Coufmittee on Foreign Relations will not fall to recognise what « “big Indian’? he considered himseif and of how little consequence he considered Admirals Godon and Davis , and are of no mo- under discus- tho Navy Depart ment. This was simply bec anse the two former re- Tused to involve the United States tn a war to please bim—to say nothing of leaving his communications at a grocery corner—and because the Secretaries of State and of the Navy decided that those oMcers Were not only right, but had shown the great- dé does not seem proper that would involve the republic in constant dimculties, and it was well for this country that our navy was represented in South Atlantic waters by two officers Who couid not be induenced even by $o WY @ dip- lomat as the Chevalier Webb. Both Admirals Davia aud Godon soon discovered that Mr, Webb was of a very 1mpulsive nature, IC nig advice Was taken would cause us to violate every principle of international law and courtesy to Satisly his bellicose propensities, From the time of his taiure to ampose bis peculiar ideas upon the commanders-tn-chiet of our Brazil flees Webb has Jost no opportunity to vent his spleen upon the Davy, ad is how endeavoring to have it laid up, There are radicals of all kinds about just like Webb, whose counsels, if followed, would put our political fapric out of joint merely to gratify their own whims. Wheu the Chevauier returned from Brazil he was notin @ humor to be trifled with; and no wonder, Had notes admiral in the American Navy lejt bis communications to Webb ata corne groceryr, aud lad not another Admiral refused to go Ww war in order that the American Minister night nave a good appetite for his breakfast? ‘These ure facts known to the peopie of this country, who, having had enough of way, feel very Ciankiul to the adiniyais ia question for nut encouraging more of le, to say notoing of leaving the letters at the corner grocery, it was in a bad frame of mind tha tMr. Webb appeared before the Committee on Foreign Kelations and gave them such insiructions in international luw that, as we says, the commitwee were determined Ww scathe Godon and Davis, lay up the greater part ot the navy and turn over the Command of all tat was left co tue Chevalier to make war with. ‘dhis is big view Of the question; bul then he has always been Mmopulsive, Wuict leads him to state matiers 50 entrely diferent from the actual fact that he would seem to hava ean educated solely im the Munchausen school, ‘ebb Will dud however, when tie commitice make their report, that he had beuter modity nis views on naval matters. While the Committee on Foretga Relations were in session aud discussing the atfairs' in Paraguay, Vice Adiniral Porter and Assistaut Secretary Hunter, of the State Department, were summoned at the same time betore them, and closely questionea regarding tae Claims put forth by the Cuevalier as to the powers oi @ Minister Pienpotentiary over the commander- In-chiel Of the-Meel, Mr. Liunter has spens a lifetime tu the Department of State, and may be said to have the whole code, international aud diplomatic, at his fingers’ eads, Vice Admiral Porter has commanded the largest fleet that has ever been under one officer, sud bis varied experience enables tim to distinguish between the claims of Mr. Webb aud the dues of naval commanders who are specially instructed by tue Navy Department, Before leaving tae commitiee room both tifese gentlemen gaye testi- mony that convinced the comuittee that to follow Wepb’s policy would be fatal to the best interests of the county, and so conclusive were their arguments Uiat the investigation closed, and Webb and his policy Were consigned to the “tom of tue Capulets.’” ‘The Chevalier has noc forgotten thts rebud, and tn his usual style bas, in a lewer trom Havana, attacked tue Navy Department and the Vice Adimiral. He asserts that our citizens residing in Cuba are Jefs to ‘the mercy of We cruel Spaniards, WHO go avout shoot- pie fox amuscinent, walle American naval ——-~—\nstend of mounting barbed at To fright tue souis of tearful adversarie Are capering nimbly iu a iady’s chamber, : ‘Lo the inselvious pleasing of a lute, As the remarks of the Chevaher are pertinent to the sudjecs of Baval detence, and may be the means of aWaking our iezisiators to the necessity O1 provid. ing the Navy Deparament with the means of pro- tecliug our cluzeus soroad, 11 may be well to en luriten the Chevalier and at che same time the read- ers of the HERALD as to the true state of the case, Au tie statements of Webo iu regard to naval mis- miahageluent are Imaginary from beginatug to cud. die Would make @ Caprtai sensation novelist, but & very poor nowspaper writer, for the people of this country Want truth, not fiction—which jatver dlls nis letters When the present administration came into power there were in the West India dees but five vessels, mounting in ali twenty-five guns. Four of tuese Vessels were driven Norti by tie yellow fever, their crews having Ween -reuderdd unlit for service by lying in Spanish port, Stace then the present Navy Department has sent the iollowing vessels to the West Indies, viz:—The Severn, Hileen guns; Swa- tara, live guus; Nantasket, five guns; Nipsic, five guns; Yantic, five guns; Saratoga, fourteeu guns; Yowhatan, lourteen guns; Tuscarora, nine guns; Seminole, six guns; Guard, six guns; Dictator (iron- ciad), WO fiileen Inch guns; Saugus (Iron-clad), two fifteen inch guns, walle the Congress, of fifteen guns, aud tue tron-ciads Terror and Miantogomok are on Wueir way to join the feet, Now, here 1s @ poser for Webb, ana unless he can disprove it he must come under the category of hav- ing made a mistake, bo say te least of It. The fact is that the present Navy Departments, owing to the Wmaladmiuistration cowplawed of by Mr. Webb, reinforced the West India feet with fourteen vessels, out of thirty-five in commission, ‘This 18 all tue De- partment can put afloat, because Congress has imited tie number of men. Ships cannot bo Zot to sea in suilctent numbers to satisfy tie desites of everybody. Congress retuses the supplies.
