Bloody Engagements Between Government and Gaerilla Troops. ‘Captain Alfau Butchered and a ‘Convoy Captured. Havana, August 3, 1872. ‘The public press of any country is generally sup- pored to be the exponent of the sentiments and opinions of the inhabitants of that country. There- fore, if we are to believe the leading journals of wis city, there is a universal feeling of discontent and displeasure entertained by the Spanish popula- on of this island toward their neighbors, the @Wnited States, produced by their action in relation +0 the affairs which have connection with the in- purrection and the present state of this country. Whe ‘Havana journals and others thronghout the ‘and are now harping on the strings of indignant protest and disapprobation at the action of the United States in regard to the Pioneer, and the evident sympathy and protection the people of America display in favor of the Cuban patriots; and #0 patent is this fact tothe Spaniards that they are in a state of constant chafing under the Knowledge, although cognizant that the govern- ment of the United States disclaims all such aid, sympathy or protection. The Constancia, the publication of which has been resumed by the well fnown journalist Don Gil Gelpi—since the snuffing ut of the Espafia, Valmaseda’s recent organ— mm a leader of Inst Wednesday has the following semarkable paragraph, Speaking of the facility with which writers on the Cuban question, and particularly those of the United States, and chieny ‘the New York HERALD, will discuss the situation tm Cuba, sometimes to propose means to terminate the struggle; again, to exaggerate the strength ‘and resources of the insurrection, and, finally, to propose extravagant sales or cessions, the Con- stancta declares that all such articles, written ac- vording to order, have no effect whatever upon the Spaniards, and especially those Spaniards who are @efending the fag of their fathers in Cuba, and whose children (f) will continue to defend iti—“Tf there is a people in the world,” it says, “which can speak with authority upon manifest destiny, that people is undoubtedly the Bpanish people, chosen by Divine Providence to earry out 60 many and such great undertakings. The Spaniards (except, perhaps, a few erring ones, who will eventually return to their senses) believe that our past history 1s o guarantee for our present and our future. If this is prejudice or pride God grant that such pride and such prejudices may be preserved in the hearts and minds of the sons of Iberta so long ag shall stand the granite mountains of that classic land, which, during twenty-four venturies of history, has proved that its sons do Dot become discouraged nor distrust the success of their enterprises, when they engage themselves to carry them out, although they may meet with great ‘obstacles in their path.” AMERICA THE SPANIARDS’ FRIEND. It is curious to witness the persistent manner in which Spaniards write of the relations of the United States to Cuba and Spain, when a mo- ment’s thought will convince them that the United Btates really furnish them the means to maintain their power in Cuba, retard the emancipation of | the African race, and, most interesting fact to each | individual, to enrich them. It is generally admit- ted that the United States afford the best market for all tropical products. Fully three-fourths of the supply of sugar consumed iu the United States are produced in this island, and abont the same pro- portion of thcir coffee is imported from Brazil. Coffee of a superior quality is also grown in Ouba, and its production might be increased to an unlimited extent, were it not found of late years more profitable to cultivate sugar for the United States market, than to compete with Brazil in the production of coffee. For this reason almost all the estates, which, years ago, produced | mothing but coffee, have been converted into sugar } estates. It is useless to speak of the prodaction of tobacco and the immense quantity exported to the United States—that fact is world-wide knowledge. Sugar, coffee and tobacco, the three necessary Juxu- ies of the world, here attain their most perfect development and havé made the wealth of the feland of Cuba and been the principal supports of the Spanish kingdom for years. WHAT CUBA DERIVES FROM US. ‘The statistics of the United States Treasury De- | ont show that for a number of years past the ce of trade between the United States and ba has been in favor of the latéer to the extent of y mijlions of dollars—a balance that has been paid and will continue to be paid fanuay in gold, The balance of trade against the United States with Bra- | sii has been some twenty millions annually. These ‘balances will go on from year to year, increasing poke fat a ly with the increase in the population and the consumption of sugar, coffee and tobacco fm the United States. According to the sugar re- | 't for the ed 1871 the consumption of sugar in | ¢ United States was about forty pounds per cap- i annually, while the importation of sugar into countr) during that year was triple the quan- | oY, imported in the year 1861, or twenty years pre- ously, The United States imported from Cuba sev- eAty-elght per cent of the sugar and molasses crop in 3671 and Great Britain but 12 per cent, South of Burope 5 per cent, France 2 per cent, North of Eu- | pad 1 per cent and all other ports 2 per cent. The | tom House returns of this island for the first six | nthe of the present year show that there have en shi from the different ports of the island, 0,341 boxes of sugar, 405,019 hogsheads sugar, {7,514 hogsheads molasses, the equivalent of 600,000 8 of sugar, Of which 334, boxes of sugar, 79 hogsheads of sugar and 228,734 hogsheads f Molasses, the equivalent of 440,000 tons of sugar, about 78 per cent of all the shipments thus far ve been sent to the United States.

For all the information concerning the rebellion published bx tie government, one would imagine that such a thing **was not,’ but news from private sources, well authenticated and reliable, lately received from the dnsurrectionary ‘districts, bear testimony that the patriots still continue active and seize every opportunity to assail their enemies. Large numbers ‘of wounded and seek, in the most deplorable condition, lately arrived in this city, aiso give proof -of the state of affairs in the interior. One hundred and fifty of these arrived at the Villanueva depot two days ago. So late as the 24th ultimo, the insurgents gained another important vietory over the government troops, at a point between Maniabon and ‘unas, called Donde Dios Dio, From = my _— information concerning this affair it appears that the Spanish Coionel Quesada left the frst named place, with a column of about 800 men, to conduct a train of pro- visions to Las Tunas. On the road they fei in with recent traces of the insurgents, and Colonel Quesada, leaving the train in charge of 200 men, under the command of the well known contra: guerilla chieftain, Captain Alfau, to proceed to its destination, set out with the remaining 600 to fol- Jow up the insurgent trail. From the results it would seem that this had been a welt concerted plan to divide the Spanish column, for a few hours afterwards Captain Alfau was attacked aud com- letely surrounded by a@ large body of insurgent rees, to the number of over one thousand, and totally defeated, LOSING HI8 LIFE and convoy of provisions, and only a few of his troops succeeded in escaping, who, after many hardships, arrived at San lel de Nuevitas only to report their discomfiture, small body of insurgents, commanded by Martin Castillo espanien, Sacred the farm San Cayetano, owned by Don José Maria Formosa and situated within a cannon shot distance of Nuevitas, and carried off the overseer, Tomas de Velasco, and seven men, besides some clothing and pro- visions. Private reports also state that the in- gurgenta, with strong forces, have again recrossed to the Siarirap if district, and that the result of this movement has been the gobbling up of a num- ber of small detachments of Spenish troops, It is stated, also, that General Ignacio Agramonte is to be found within this district with about a thousand of his followers. While the government is chary of letting the general public know the real state of affairs in the insurrection, many of the Spanish officers speak with the greatest openness to their friends, and do not attempt to conceal the dificuities and dangers with which they have to contend in hae struggle to put down the insurrection, The following ex- tract from a private letter, dated at Cascorro, July 20, by a Spanish military officer, will give some idea of the condition of affairs :— “I think J have already told you that since St. Peter’s Eve we have been constantly on the alert, because strong parties of bands, commanded by AGRAMONTE, VILLAMIL, CASTELLANOS, MAGIN DIAZ and other insurgent chiefs, to the number of come eighteen hundred, intended to attack this place and reduce it to ashes for the second time within the history of this ineurrection. Thanks to Providence, we became advised of this intention in time, and fortified the place by reintorce- ments drawn from Gualmaro, and thus saved ourselves. Afterwards columns from the Reyna, Rey and Rayo regiments, small ones, to be sure, sallied out and met and engaged the en- emy at & place called Sevilla, The Keyna column lost three killed and fourteen wounded, among the latter the commander of the forces. We suppose the ene: must also have suffered severe tosses, judging from the firing which was kept up, but nothing positive is Known, Part of my battalion had the most losses, and was obliged to retreat precipitately, on account of the enemy's on- slaught. On the 8th instant they had another en- counter, with considerable loss, at Jarico, and, ac- cording to report, there are large forces of insur- nts in the Dofia Merced Mountains, about four leagues trom here. We have had them within half @ league of us—that is, not the whole number, but Parties under Castellanos’and a certain Melendez, who is well acquainted with this region. On the 17th instant a party of eight insar- gents had the effrontery to come into this place at night and went to a house, where, telling the people to keep quiet, that they would harm no one, they carried away clothing, shoes, provisions and a Remington rifle belonging to the owner of the house. We have also learned of the discrbarkation of Peralta and all his cargo, but no credit is given to Valera’s report, for probably the Dominican Colonel desires with this adair to obtain TUE GOLDEN EMBROIDERIES (entorchados) of @ higher rank. The report has also been current here that some Venezuelans had landed with Quesada, but this has not yet been con- firmed. New encampments and fortifications are ordered to be made, and meantime things are going from bad to worse, and I am getting tired of what appears to me an interminable struggle.” Vhule writing important information has reached me from Nuevitas to the effect that the insurgents burned abridge on the railroad between the tirst- named city and Puerto Principe and attacked the train. A very severe encounter took place, in which the Spaniards suffered severely. The trains were juterrupted for two days. On the 30th the insurgents attacked the fort at Punta Piedra, about two leagues distance from Nuevitas., They were, pe gh Nd losing two killed and seven wounded, gentleman just arrived from Manzanillo reports that in an engagement near Jiguani between the Spanish contra guerilla calicd Matanzas, composed of 200 men, and insur- ent forces under the command of Genera! Maximo jomez, the first named body was nearly entirely destroyed, only thirty escaping, Notwithstanding these late disasters, many of them known and (is- cussed throughout the city, the official report gives the following for the semi-monthly statement, cnd- ing July 30:—Losses to the insurgents, 105 killed, #6 prisoners and 1,283 surrendered. Our losses (Spanish), 2 killed, 13 wounded and 4 contused. CUBAN POLITICS. An event of more than usual political importance is to take place at the “Casino Espaiiol”’ to-morrow— the election for President and Vice President and other officers. The Conchistas, the advocates for the appointment of Generali José de la Concha as Captain General of this Island, in a preliminary meeting held recently, decided to cast their yotes for Don Julian de Zulucta as President and Don Juan Toraya as Vice President. Much feeling exists aay tl tegrity,” an beth of an acrimonious character are anticipated. This election is looked upon by the | rival parties with much interest, and it undoubtedly is important in respect to the political affairs of Cuba snd who is to be the next Captain General, as the “Casino” pretends to strongly influence the home vernment. The Caar Alexander of Russia has decorated with the cross of St. Stanislas Mr. John O. Hinrichs, the Russian Consul here, and Don Victoriano Suances, acting captain of the port during Prince Alexis} sit. The Spanish war vessel Tornado left this port last Thursday for be in the Gulf of Honduras, to aet- tle some little difficulty with the government for having detained a Spanish merchantman and to protect Spanish interests generally in view of tne | attack on that city by General Medenita on the 15th ultimo. THE “OLD CATHOLIOS.” Professor Friedrich on the Justification of the Old Catholic Movement. In the O14 Catholic organ, the Deutscher Merkur, @short time back there appeared a brief but im- portant statement, signed by Professor Friedrich, | to the following effect :— A great deal has already been spoken and written bout the justification of our movement. Only those men who should have taken it above all under their wing—the bishops of the opposition at the Vatican Council—have denied that justification, and have visited it with their curse. But their curse will turn now to a blessing for the Church and th Christian conscience, All the more will Catholic people again perceive that Christ alone, ur Saviour, our one Lord and Master, is our only High Priest, who have grown out into true spiritual tyrants, it will be of the greatest interest to our readers to hear what was sald by a father of the Council, whose name certainly would not be found among those of the minority, nor is it known in Germany, His posi- tion ts characteristic in this—that he, In Septem- ber, 1871, placed in my bande a kind of Te betes which, drawn up in August, 1871, produces in a brief way @ counterpart to the famous Museum lectures of Doliiuger, ‘The same rang thus:— 1.

At one P, M, the foretopmast of the Ayacanora was carried away, and soon afterwards the Corisande, having lost her topmast, and being without another ‘on board, was obliged to put about and return to Ryde Roads. The wind now varied very much, but the Guinevere kept gaining steadily, and was next tothe Livonia on passing the Owers Light, both going away from the others and making a fine race of it between them, A southing of the wind at six P, M, enabied the Guinevere to take the lead, gradually improving her position till she was a mile ahead; but then both the leading vessels were almost becalmed, and could barely make headway against the tide.

The commodores of the Columbia, Eayonne, Jersey City, Harlem, New Jersey, Manhattan, Oceanic and Williamsburg Yacht Clube meet this evening at the Village House, on the corner of Hud- son and Bank streets, to make arrangements for a union cruise and regatta. The new sloop yacht Genevieve, built by Alney, of Providence, for Mr. G. Beckwith, of the same place, has proved herself a remarkably good boat. She is tolerably fast, and has also shown herself very stif ina sea way. Mr. Beckwith is now cruis- ing East with a party of friends, The Genevieve arrived at Martha’s Vineyard last evening.

VIVA L'ITALIA, eben No Procession on the Anniversary Day of Italian Unity—Italy’s Condition, The Itaiian citizens of this city held a mass meet. ing last night at the Germania Assembly Rooms, on Third avenue, for the purpose of endorsing the ac- tion of the executive committee appointed at a recent meeting, who were to decide as to the man- ner the anniversary of the crowning of Italian anity in Rome, its capital, should be celebrated, and to adopt such other measures as the auspicious event is worthy of, The spacious hall was uncomfortably packed, and every town and village of that “fair land of the sun” had tts representative in the en- thusiastic throng.

Instice Koch presided at the above Court yester- day morning, and, aithongh the weather was op-" pressive and disagreeable, quicky disposed of the fifty-six prisoners arraigned before um. A num- ber of them, being under the impresston that to- morrow’s comet would put an end to all their fur- | ther pleasurcs, determined to take advantage of the intervening time and bave @ royal old time, They had it, and are by this time repenting in sackcloth and ashes or perspiring in a prison, ali awaiting their times. There were 49 male and 7 female prisoners; 27 were charged with intoxication, 7 with disorderly conduct, 4 drunk ‘and disorderly, 7 for assault and battery, 2 for grand larceny, 2 vagrants, 2 burglary, I for maylem, 2 suspicions pereons, 1 for picking pockets and 1 for reckless driving.

AN OLD OFFENDER, James Johnson, of 38 Amity street, whose picture quarters, wae presented by Officer Wandling, of the Eighth precinct, under the alias of Charles Gordon. Frank Moran, of No. 422 West Forty-second street, appeared as complainant and charged him with picking his pocket of $11 in money. Moran states that while passing the corner of Houston and Mercer streets, about three o'clock yesterday morning, somewhat under the influence of liquor, he met the prisoner and two companions standing on the corner, As he approached them, he claims, Johnson dealt him a blow alongside ot his head with his fist, which partially stanned him, He immediately seized him from behind and held him while he took his wallet, containing $11 in money, from his pants pocket. when he let him go. He discovered his loss and accused the prisoner of robbing him. Johnson was generous enough to hand back the wallet, minus the money, Officer Wand- ling, being informed of the robbery, pu: John- son and arrested him. His companions, who ap- peared to have nothing to do withthe robbery, made thelr escape, ‘he prisoner, a short time since, in a fight with a hegro in the Eighth ward, managed to cut off two of the negro’s fingers with arazor, He was also identified as being one of a party of three who robbed a til! in Houston street about the same time. After committing the two jast offences he leit the city and evaded the police until yesterday morning. He denied the charge of robbing Moran, but was locked up in default of $1,000 bail to appear and answer at the General Sessions. RAID ON DISORDERLY HOUSES.

ASSAULTING AN OFFICER. About twelve o’clock on Saturday night, as Officer Murphy, of the Eighth precinct, was standing at the corner of Prince and Greene strects, a female residing in the nebo ocd approached him and complained that two ruffanly-looking men had taken possession of her house and refused to leave it, As she was all alone she requested the officer to come with her and eject them. Murphy, Bigs going to the houee, found Thomas Murray, of 284 Greenwich street, and Patrick J. Flynn, of 13 Sixth nue, in the hallway. Informing them he oaicer, he ordered them irom the place, but they re- fused to move an inch, The officer attempted to for- cibly pat them ont, when they assanited him, cut his head open and disfigured his face in a shameful manner, cansing the blood to flow over his cloth- ing. While the skirmish was going on Flynn tempted to draw a revolver from his pants pock but was knocked down by the officer. As: arriving at this stage of the Prposedines the rig ent couple were conveyed to the station house. Yesterday morning, upon appearing at Court, the officer and Flynn presented frescocd heads.

They subsequently admitted bode stolen them, but re- fused to state from whom, They were remanded to the station house to enable tie ofticer to ind an owner. A BURGLARY FRUSTRATED. Joseph Buckley keeps a liquor saioon at 142 West Nineteenth strect, and resides in a house in the rear of his place. At an early hour on Saturday morning tic was awakened by hearing a noise in the yard, Looking out of the window he saw three young meu industriously at work at a rear Wia- dow. They had already forced open the shutter and were in the act of raisiug the window when he shouted at them. They left their work and a jimmy they had, and, making for the street, disap- peared. A description of the two was given to Officer Carmack, of the Twenty-niath precingt, who grrested two young men gamer dD omas Brady, twenty-six years of age, of No. 334 West Twenty- fivst street, and John Caton, of No. 142 West Nine- teenth street, on suspicion of being implicated in the attempted burglary. Upon confronting them with witnesses who had seen the trio emerge from the alleyway they were ay identified as two of them, Yesterday morning they tailed to put in an appearance at Court to give their testimony on ac- count of some of the prisoners’ friends having seen them and threatened to “put a head on them if they testified against them. Buck- also stated he did not want prosecute them, and was severely lectured by Justice Koch, who stated, as far as lay in his power, he was determined to puta stop to the raids of these midnight marauders, The pris- oners were remanded to the station house to en- Qbie the ofticer to produce the witnesses, AN OLD MAN ROBBED, Henry Sackett, an old man, on Friday sold out his livery stable, at 264 West Twenty-second street, and placed $600 of the money paid him and a check for $00 in a wooden chest in his office, Saturday morning he discovercd the chest had been broken open and the money and note stolen, Suspicion rested upon two men cmiployed in the place, who were the only persons who had access to the office, named Archibald McNeal, of 2389 West Tiirty-third street, and James Mooney, of 317 West Twenty-filth street.

Oflicer Beck, of the Twentieth precinct, Witnessing the unprovoked assault on English, went to Nis assistance and attempted to arrest aaa The latter turned upon the officer and getting the thumb of his left hand in his mouth Imargled and bit it in a horrible manner, The infuriated Kelly was, with the assistance of five or six citizens, safely lodged in the station house yesterday morning.

Eighteen mites to the south of the Battery ina westerly direetion the Fishing Banks are situated. Hundreds of thousands of people of both sexes are born and are educated and live and die im the city of New York, and yet these people never know where this mysterious fishing ground is and have never visited the place, | For twenty-five or thirty years past the pier posts | and various fences in the metropolis have been piastered with amall shabby looking showbills, hay- ing badly executed cuts of two persons trudging along borne down by heavy loads of sea bass, founders, blue and black fish, which this same | shabby little showbill always informs the reader have been caught at the Fisting or Cholera Banks, A “Fishing Banks” excursion, of all excursions that Jeave the city on Sunday, is the one which pos- sesses the least amount of sociability, decency or respectability, The mode of procedure by which a Fishing Banks excursion or series of excursions are organized is, to say the least, a very peculiar one. Some small | ward politician or band of small ward politicians who are interested in a local grogshop trade, and who have a large acquaintance among the rough element of their own class and an extended one among the factory girls or that class of young ladies who attend picnics at Jones’ Wood, begin operations by looking up some slow, ill-fashioned and dirty river steamboat, to the captain or owner of which they make a proposition of charter day by day. This captain, we will suppose, is familiar with the spots on the Banks where fish are most readily caught. One dollar a head is charged as a fare for Men on the round trip, and to induce wo- men, ho matter to what class they may belong, to attend on these excursions the rate for women is reduced to fifty cents per female. Then an arrangement is secretly made between the Captain and the managers of these excursions, whereby he should start early on the trip, and, alter making & number of landings, to take on as many un- wary passengers as possible. In this way the best part of the day ts wasted, and all the time a couple ofbars, stocked with the worst kind of liquors, are crowded by the thirsty fools who have already em- barked. The idea is to keep the boat out as long as possible, in order that money may be taken In great quantities by the managers of the boat, who have charge of the eating and drinking depart- ments, It sometimes occurs, “by chance,” perhaps, that @ captain or pilot in charge of a boat will not find a good place to fish, and the boat will have to be shifted from time to time at the urgent yelis of the fishermen, who hang over the side of the vessel in swarms waiting for a bite. The longer they stay on the Banks and the less fish that are caught the more whiskey is consumed and the greater the profits to the grog shop managers of the boat. A reporter of the HERALD was detailed yesterday togo on the usual Sunday excursion, and he se- lected one of those Fishing Banks steamers to ob- serve the manner in which the affair was carried out. There were two large and dirty looking steamboats at one of the piers about midway on the North River side at an early hour yesterday morning. | Both of these cralf were more than half filled, although it was not more than eight o'clock by people of both sexes. The rowdy fishing element predominated, and was tobe observed on both boats in great numbers, ‘There were a large number of married women who had brought thelr growing children and babies with them. It is a strange thing that women who are afflicted with weak stomachs will attempt the Fishing Banks, but it is pretty certain that women will attempt to do anything that the horrid mon- { ster man may induce them to, A “band” of music was on board of each of the fishing boats, and the Hsra.p reporter selected the steamer from which the most noise came. ‘There was a great deal of “touting” going on between the rival agents of the rival vessels, and people who had chosen one favorite boat were wheedled by subterfuge to go on board of the other dirty boat, an easy mat- ter, when it is understood that both steamers lay broadside to each other and the end of the pier, a gangway connecting the two. “This way for the Stick-in-the-mud—the best boat | that goes to the Fishing Banks; step on board, yer motuer and father is upon the main deck,” shouts one of these roughs to a young girl who is making | her way to the opposition boat. Mela Taint got no father and mother,” she re- Dies. ome | “No matter,” unblushingly answers the touter | “it’s all the same. Yer feller is up stairs, and that's better. This way for splendid steamer Stick-in-the- Mud, with a pilot that’s been to the Fishing Banks for ninety-eight years. This way for the Stick-in- the-Mud.”? “Don’t go on that boat; she's got smallpox on board; she used to be the Quarantine boat. This way, mam for the splendid White Star line. Here's the magnificent steamer Whiskey-Straight; she ets home before the other boat gets to the Banks, his hy now; this way, old hoss, Come along; only $1 for fare,’ cries another red-faced rowdy | a me at tle top of his voice to the people on | lock. fhe captain of one boat is loth to leave until the paddics of the Wands begin to work. Finally ‘Vhe bell is 1 for the engineer on the dirtiest of the two, and she moves down the bay and is soon followed by the other. The Whiskey Straight ets off first, and there is considerable feeling anifested on board of she Stick-in-the-Mud among the passengers who would like to be on the | swiltest boat if they conid, There are about 350 persons on board of the Stick-in-the Mud, and of this*number about bi aed Folge ro or their juck fishing her they get to the Banks, ‘As ever yust fis! from the side of the boat, either Sah Winer of upper deck, an instantaneous rush is made by all who are piscatorially inclined to engage places, This is done by, Paatening the fishing line to a spo! on the hand rail of the boat, just as a man might stick his pick in the earth of his claim ata gold dig- ging. Thereisa tacit understanding that no new comer shall unfasten the fishing line once it is tied by the fisherman, who has her ee the place. A scrawny-faced young lad sits behind a barrel of bait which he sells for fifteen cents a banch to those desirous of fishing. He aiso peddles lines with Jead sinkers for deep fishing and with hooks attached. The deposit to be left onaline is seventy- five cents, and when the line is returned fifty cents of the seventy-five are returned, twenty-five cents being kept for the loan of the fishing line by the scrawny-faced young man. Behind the whiskey counter stands a bullet- headed individual who dispenses Jersey lightnin; at fifteen cents a gi: and & poisonoas kind of lager at ten cents a net This bar is crowded allday long during the trip, which lasts about twelve hours from the time of leaving the first | landing until the arrival home at the last sopping | lace, _oung men and boys—a hard feature: lot—visit is bar every few | minutes and) = as much as seven and — eight hundred and @ thousand dollars are taken in | by the managers at the bar and the refreshment stand. The women, who are of the same class, drink freely too and may be seen hoisting glasses | of brandy and whiskey to their lips early and often, The band consists of three dissipated iooking Ger- mans, who are very often missing between the fond of waltzing im the Jones’ with the rowdy young men, and success in for sea bass lers he is the observed of all observers during the excursion of the Stick-in-the-Mud. During all this time the male portion of the pase Sengers are getting very drunk, and by the time that the boat reaches the Fishin: soon as she has anchored off Long Branch, and just immediately of the West End Hotel, several fights are in progress, Nearly all the women are dread- fully sensick, and even the little children are being treated by their fond mothers to liquy. in order to ward off matdu mer from thei infantile stomachs, Pans, saucepans, wooden pails, bowls and all sorts of utensila are brought into requisition, and the seene becomes disyust:ing: in the extreme, Very few fleh are caught—a few founders, sea bass, an occasional dog or biow iish and some flying fish, besides some boat is moved around several fishermen a better chance; but it ts three o'clock the boat is headed ‘egy ing the slowest boat of an she ‘stir: first, and, as there are four other steame down on the banks all crowded and the passengers engaged in fishing, it is not Aroniahing fo see the, all pass the Stick-in-the-Mud as 8 puis blows up the Bay. Five hours from the time ahi leaves the Banks she makes the last landing an: all the passengers leave the boat, the few respect- able ones having made up.tneir minds that they wilt make no more excursions to the Fishing Benks— at any rate never again in such a boat or in such @ miscellaneous gathering as that which made up the Som plemeny of the passengers of the dirty Sticke in-the-Mud, no use, and af The oppressive heat that prevailed for the pas few days drove thousands of visitors to the Parks yesterday, whom the pressure of business or limited} means has kept cooped up all through the hot sum-= mer months in this-great city. To the weary toilerd, of the metropolis a Sunday visit to the Park is | weekly stimulant which enables them to throw ot the exhaustion and fatigue of the six days’ pre+ vious labor, and fits them for renewed efforts in the six succeeding days. Dickens has said that the- parks of a city are its lungs. Without them hal the children of oyr large centres of populatio: would never attain to maturity, and the other halg’ would grow up stunted and dwarfed both in mind and body. y There {s no finer park in the world than our own in extent, beauty and facilities for enjoyment, and) ithas rarely presented a more attractive appear- | ance than it did yesterday afternoon. The freshly. mown mall, the shady walks, the sequestered nooks and the widening paths, were all filled with merry,, laughing groups, sweethearts and lovers, parents and children, servants who had their Sunday out and thirsty Teutons, whom the cruel edict of a tyrannical Excise Board had driven from their fa-; vorite occupation of beer-drinking to the cool shades: of the trees in the Park, where they endeavored to compensate for their unnatural deprivation of Heav- en’s best boon to Germans, of devouring Schweizer, sandwiches and drinking copious draughts from suspicious black bottles, which the providen® fraus had carefully stowed away in the recesses of their capactous wallets. “Eat, drink and be merry,’ or to-morrow you die,” seemed to be the feeling all round, and—whatif the prediction of Plantamour be true ?—the last Sunday in the Park was cele- brated right royally. Itis true that now ana then the natural feeling of impending doom would throw a temporary gloom over the more thonghtful, and they would ponder for a moment, wondering” how they would feel this afternoon, when they wil® either be smashed into atoms, dissolved into thin fir, hurled upon the sun or left undisturbed, but such feelings were fleeting, and the crowd waxed gay and thoughtless—sang and laughed and chatted about politics, fashions and scan- dals, as did the ancient Pompeiians on the last day of Pompeli’s existence, even while the lava of Vesuvius was preparing to lay in one common ruin the castie of the patrician and the hamble home of the plebclan. So runs the world away;and as there may not be another oppor- tunity to tell of the number of ae who visit the Park on &'summer’s Sunday, and the manner int which they enjoy themselves, we will lose no ume and do so now. The tiny pleasure bonts on the artificial streams were never better patronized; every young swell who wore a stiff collar and carried a huge cigar im hig mouth—the smoking of which was evidently @ paintul duty—thought it mcumbent upon him oe assert his manhe by treating the binshing damsel of sixteen, his companion, fo @ half hour's pulk down the stream. Fvery boat was engaged, and if there had been double as many more they would, have all found work to do, the picture reminding: one of Venice, the city in the sea, and its canals covered with gondolas, oniy that the pleasare~ seekers bore no resemblance to Venetians, and the sweet musia which Venice loves to hear was en- tirely wanting. In its place there was boisterous lau titer and rude jokes, the F goed men bearing @ striking resemblance to each other in get-up aud conduct, and the young womer,being gil alka pretty, coquettish and aiily. ‘The namber of handsome vehicles which turned out yesterday was very small compared with the display which may be seen in the early spring, bus a fair representation of the best trotters and pay equipages might still be seen the drives. Of th occupants the less sald the better, the male portiom: ona the fashily dressed gambler, the: young, blood with more monéy than brains and the rural, snob in the city on a burst. ‘The women were some fair, but more fraf!, their ‘brazen appearance an impudent stares strikingly contrasting with the homely demeanor and modest behavior of the ser+ vant girl, who was exceedingly enjoying the one day in two weeks Which the generosity of the law allows to her. Very few of the better ciass of pea~ ie tyke out their carriages on Sunday, the Park om hat being Serta to the saloon keeper, the corner loafer and the Wfikinaa, 7 -z The other numerous attractions with which ng Park abounds were the centres of admiring: crowds, the menagerie, as usual, haying around i the usual groups of wondering gamins and newly arrived emigrants. The suggestion that the museum shonid be kept open ou Sunday, as well a the menagerie, is an admirable one, and if, in ad- dition, sacred music could be provided, be ny fa, ropean cities, there would be no mors eltenttiue way of spending a Sunday than in the Central Park> The straight-laced and Pharisaical spirit whic! woukl prevent such innocent and healthful aniuséments is rapidly ci eariney and i its stead a spirit of enlightened liberality is rising up which 1s more in accordanc with the spirit of the age and the wishes of th large majority of our population. With good musia- on Sunday and the museum open respectable citl- zens would have a place to spend their day of leis~ ure, without being forced to mingle witn the dhs~ orderly rowdies and witness the disgraceful exhi- bitions which are the leading features of B0-callege Sunday excursions. = Sh pee As the shades of evening “ate on ahd fhe trees began to throw out jen gens i Bhadows the se- quéstered nooks alid walks eghoéd with the sound of “g.oieh kisses, sweeter for the theft.’?

DARING ROBBERY IN TRENTON. ! A Watchman Mistaken for the Thict d Attacked by a Butcher. Michael Cody ts employed in a rolling mill, works: ft Elizabethport, and his familly reside at No. 216. South Warren street, Trenton. Cody is a temper- ance man, earns good wages, and visits his family as often as his business will allow. His residence— No, 216 Warren street—was entered on Saturday morning at an early hour by thieves. About four o'clock his wife was awakened by @ noise, and looking up saw a mam dances, which are kept up to keep the passengers heated and thirsty for more drink. It is, indecd, a most demoralizing pictare which is presented on these Fishing Banks excursions, and {s well calculated to corrupt the young women and foolish lads who are induc:d to patronize these boats. Hot coffee of an inferior kind is sold at ten cents a cup for the benefit of those who have weak , stomachs, There fre eight or ten hams, | the meat of which is not more than | half cooked, and the fellow behind the refreshment stand is busy ail carne up these hams and making hideous and filthy-looking sandwiches out of the loaves of bread that are piled up by the hams. His hands are dirty, his shirt is dirty and his face is smudged all over. He cuts up the sandwiches as if he were dissever- | ing the intestines of a hog, aud his replies are made in the most surly and insolent tanner possible. If you desire to eat a hot dinner of tough corned beef and watery cabbage and watery potatoes you must apply to an impudent negro, and alter having | vainly endeavored to masticate the beef the colore: steward of the Stic! -the-Mud will inform you | that the charge is “one dollah, sah.’ Dare to tell him that you think the Ca too great for the food furnished, and he will cheerfully threaten to “put a head on you,” and if you doubt him he will summon two or three white rufians to assist him in erecting the Mansard roof. Asiangy young man, one of the hands on the boat, does the “calling off,” while the dranken Dutch musicians are playing quadrilies, The re- marks of this excessively siangy young man are provocative of great Jaughter from the shop girls 3 | on his arm. about half down some steps with a parcel of clothes: A quantity of unmade clothing, con- sisting of silks and other articles, she found were also taken, A good overcoat and a pair of nearly new boots had been taken into the yard. Mra. Cody screamed for help, which soon arrived, If was found that the bureau had been emptied of ite contents, that $95 in money, a silver watch and & great quantity of clothing had been taken, the total loss being about 3400, In South Warren street there is a private watoh- man besides the regular oficer, and the watchman, hearing the cries tor help, ran into the rear of the premises under the impression that there might be Some one lurking there, He nearly fell @ victim to the zeal of a butcher, @ neighbor, who was Np kill- ing, and who, passing into the yard by the way of The house, saw the watchman, and not knowing him and supposing him to be one of the thieves went for him with a butcher's knife which he had in his hand,. Before the blow was struck Carte wright called out that he was the watchman, and thus saved bis life. The family is a respectable, careful and saving one, and is considerably grieved respecting the Joss. All the sheets and pillow cases were tiken, and if Mrs, Cody had not awakened the house would | have been stripped of all the movables, The belief is that the robbery was com. mitted by some persons who know the family.
