Care May, May 19, 1870, From Long Braneh to Cape May 18 a journey full @f pains anc sorrows. The traveller drives down to a dummy at the unfashionable hour of six in the morning, gets on board and is soon rattling over & with underbrush and understrung with deceptive gutters and nasty siuices, and he wonders in vain ‘what on carin cin be the utility of such a vast waste, At Freeport, reached by eight o'clock, there are numerous small seitlements, with such enphonious titles as Edentown and Squan- kum, and these villages look ike pawns amd pishops om. an extended chessboard of Darren territory. From Freeport the tmp is more agreeable, and Philadelphia, a remote suburb of New York, looms tuto view at eleven o'clock, Ab balf-past three the broken connection is re-estab- dished and along train starts down for Cape May. ‘This road is tn some respects wretched, but in others well managed For instance, it requires an wousual quantity of soap to,remove the geological deposits on the skin thats sent floating in the atmosphere by the Iron horse, and sand can be produced from all accessible parts. of the body. Cape May is reached by seven o’clock in the even- ing, and the busy appearance about the depot shows how much activity and jife.resides in this ancient city, especially now as the season 1s about to begin. Cape May is one of the oldest ports on the Atlantic seaboard, and among the first watering places - of the Enion. Its birth ds coeval with the origin of American commerce, and the fastest and best equipped pilot boats in American waters clear from Me harbor, The resident population consists alino st entirely of old seamen and skillul navigators, who undersiand every crag, bluil and jutting headiand in this vicinity, Hence there is litle sluggishness or indolence, and such a visitation as disease is hardly ever a iocal complaint; the people die mostly from old age. Asa watering place Cape May dates back forty years, and during ITS HISTORY At has achieved a high position for its matchless each, its excellent medicinal advantages of air, water, temperature and climate, the excellence and elegance of its hotels, and, above all, the fine gastronomical skill employed in pan- alering 1 the behests of the stomach, stim- miated to ardent desires by the fresh @reezes of the Atlantic Ocean. Up to 1869 it moved Along in uninterrupted quiet and success, and then A disastrous fire swept away one of the most valu- abie portions of the city, covering an area bounded ‘on.each side by 800 feet.

May for 1870 kas the most auspicious future. Already it has been visited by parties from all por- tions of the country, and the cottages are being taken up rapidly, and husbands are making arrange- Meitts for room the season through, The watering ace property of Cape May, thatis hotels, including oarding houses and pr.vaie cottages, is Velued on a low estimate at $20,000,000, and the in its temporary summer quarters will afford excellent rooms for 16,000 people without herding, croWMing, or disagreeable mconvenience ei any nature. 1t18 estimated that the daily influx Will exceed 4,060 of all ages. The visitors will come mainly irom icone org Baltimore, Washington and New York, to the degree and in the order hamed. Of course, Philadelphia supplies the vast majority, and Cape May holds the same relation to the Quaker City that Long Branch aoes to New York, Sianv hundreds also come from the interior of New York State, from Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, aud not @ few are tourists from Porel™N BVOC, me nine & THE REGULAR SEASON begins on the 25th of June and cioses on Septem- ver 1. Although there will be large numvers here before the former date society wil! hardly have been put through the fashionable moulds. He who sup- poses that Cape May has none of the dress and haut ion is mistaken. All the atrs pecultar to the people of means at Many American watering places prevail here, 2nd these alrs depend much upon the caprices of tailors, dressmakers aud figure bullders, and are hardly governed by any immutable law save that of stilted presumption. But after all this is only assail- ing a human foliy; and are not foliies abundant? and is it so wrong to put on airs? and when people come Into a big fortune should they not, having been ostracized ali their lives, have some opporuunity, with the rusting silk and the shimmering satin? Mrs. hion, the tailors and dre<smakers all say » But there will be plenty of chances to spend money besides on dress, and yet BOARD is not hich. It will range trom $2 50 to $5 per day, and the extras will inciude bathing, driving, fishing, hunting, and wines, liquors and cigars, of wate latter three there 1s not generally a great consump. tion. Now, what is the routine, the daily life at Cape May? ‘The visitor rises early; for the fresh sea breezes, saturated with a wealth of saline matter, have refresbed the body and mind, apd the pretiis- posed consumptive, dyspeptic of general ‘th ey Tises with the appetite of a female wolf, Breakfa-t ig served at eight, or even earlier for those leaving by the morning trains, all Kinds of tithabitants of the sea—delicious softshell crabs, crabs 01 the re; lar aripy, fish in exhaustless variety and good meal from Philadelphia, are put upon a taps.

Herinan Vou Keller vs, Herman Schulting e& al.—This was a motion to set aside the report of a referee on the ground that he aid not pass upon all the issues of the case, and that the plea of insanity which the defence alleges should have been brought forward, was not placed before the referee.

Defendant's interest was one-third of the net proceeds and avove $275,000, On that day Schuiting verbally offered to sell his interest for $29,000, and Von Keller accepted. P.aintiff told defendant he could have the money at once, but Schutting sald he did not want it, but if de- posited with Stursberg it would be satisfactory to him. An agreement was then drawn up in writing by which Schulting transferred his interest to Von Keller and the latcer gave an order on Stursberg to pay Schuiting the $20,000. On the 10th of August deiendant met plaintiff and demanded pack his papers of agreement, saying his wife was dissatisfied with his bargain and that he himselr was insane wien he made it. Plaintur refused to release hun froin his agreement and applied to Stursberg for his share in the goods soid, but was refused, The ref- eree found that $100,660 was the amount of such interest and reported the plaintiff entitled to it, ‘The plaintiffs claim that judgment should not be set aside; that the referee passed upon all the issues in the case and that the Special Term cannot set aside the report of @ referee on the ground of error in law.

Judge Cardozo said that the magistrate before whom they were taken having named the amounts of bail it should be accepted. The dis- tinguished imdividuals, whose names are Frederick Roder, Henry Martin, Martin Ryan and Thomas Scott, bat trom the First, Fourth and Fifth wards, and were accompanied by a most disreputable look- ing gang, Who were fortunate enough to escape de- tection.

At New Brighton, Staten Island, Messrs, Johnson & Miller disposed of 110 lots for an aggregate of about $60,000. This property being a portion of the Wester- yelt estate and sold by order of the executor and executrix of J. 8, Westervelt, deceased, is situated on Westervelt, Sherman, Madison, Monroe, First and Fourth avenues. It is a part of the home- stead occupied by Dr. Westervelt during his life, and has been in possession of the family fifty-five years. The grades are excellent and the lots free froin Tock and ready for immediate improvements. The avenues are sixty feet wide, with flagged walks leading from the ferry. The surroundings are first class, and many beautiful villas adorn the adjacent property. The village improvements skirt the lots on different sides. Most of the remarks already made here with reference to New Brighton property apply to this, the better prices obtained for which over tat offered on Wednesday are readily explained by the benefit accruing irom the advertisement given it by the former sale and perhaps its greater con- tiguity to the ferry, The attendance at the sale was excellent. A full report wiil be found below. Supjoined are also particulars of the sales made at New Brighton, Staten Island, by A, J. Bleecker, Son & Co., on Wednesday, omitted from yesterday's article. Messrs. Potter Brothers report the purchase by Mr. Edward K. Willard of a handsome brick residence, with carriage house and about two and a half acres of land, at Fort Washington, with a fronton the Grand Boulevard, and having a fine view of the Hu-d son river, for the sin of $85,000, NEW YORK PROPFETY—BY JAMES M, MILLER. fth_ay, 4 lots, ¢ #, commencing 60 ft s of 142d st, lot ¥x100, to N Willlamson. lots, e8, commencing 24 ft Li in s of 1did mt, lots 2x100, to N Williamson . ote 2 9,825, 88d at, manaion house and plot of ground, » mencing #8 fte of av B, plot 195 ft front, 126. 1(G.6 one side and 120.7 the other, to Mr. Kehoe NEW BRIGHTON, 8.

Reported Premeditated Attempts to Capture the Steamers Chicora and Algoma—A War Steamer Ordered for Their Defence—Some- thing Stirri {From the Toronto Telegraph, May 17.] According to all accounts the Fenians intend doing or attempting to do something towards frustrating our plans respecting the Northwest. It has been ositively stated that several hundred of the brother- Rica passed through St. Paul only u few days ago, pound for Fort Garry, and that others are assembling at Duluth, Marquette and other points on Lake Supe- rior for the purpose of operating against our iorces while on the march. Whatever they might accom- plish by crossing the Plains from St, Paul, provided the American authorities did not interlere, we have no fear of their harassing our troops, should they only reach Fort Willian in safety. In order to reach our line of march the Fenians would have to pass through 200 or 309 miles of wilderness. We are satisfied they would give out beiore they had accomplished haif the journey, for the simple reason that there ig nota distillery or tavern in the whole country. A Fenian army would melt away in wo days under such circumstances, But there 1s pienty of whiskey at Sault Ste, Maric; and as. the Sault is easily reached by st er from Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and other places it 1s just possible that an attempt to interfere with our expedition may be made there by the Fenians. We do not think they have any idea of fighting our forces. They would be satisfied could they capture the Algoma and Chicora, scuttle them, and then re- turn to the protecting folds of the Stars and Stripes, covered with Fenian glory. This 1a what they are most likely to aitem should they atiempt anything, It is evident that our government have reason to think that such an attack is not improbable; and, in oruer to frustrate the scheme and protect our transports, the gunboat Rescue hs been ordered co the Sault and is now on her way up. She was laying m the Welland Canat when Captain Wyatt, the gunboat agent, received the order on Saturday to send her away, and she immediately started, She will call at Goderich for ammunition and men and probapty sait from that port for the Sault to-morrow (Wednesday, May 18). In case the Fenians make an attack on our vessels, and in ease the Kescue gets withia gunshot of them, e are satisiied she will give a good account of her- nt for the heroes in green, TELEGRAPHING IN INDIA.—The Calcutta English- man ot March 15says:—The Bombay and Aden tion of the submarine cable has been handed over to the British-India Telegraph Company, and busi- ness has been commenced at the following rates:— For ten words to Aden, ten rupees [one rupee is worth forty-seven cents in American gold]; twenty words, filter rupees; for every subsequent ten Words, seven rupees and eight annas, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
