Vesey and ‘West streets are now clear of the noxious ob- structions which have so long disgraced them, and naught remains but the foul structure itself, which now looks more forbidding than ever, and which will likely be replaced before another year with a building more creditable tothe city. The hog butchers on the North River are occupying the attention of the health authorities and will be compelled to follow in the foptsteps of the bone boilers. We trast that all such pestilential nuisances will be removed, not only from the city but also from the rivers. Rendering sheds and offal boats are alike offensive, and sanitary reasons imperatively demand their extermina- tion. From Marz 10 Viorma the telegraph brings us the intelligence of the wholesale destruction of property and the same unvarying account of the inefficiency of fire departments in great emergencies. This Summer bids fair to Tival its predecessors in the number and ex- tent of fires in various parts of the country. ‘We hear a great deal at times about blocks of magnificent buildings being erected in cities, all of them, of course, being fireproof. When # conflagration occurs these fireproof struc- tures seem to burn as readily as a farmhouse ora barn. Again, on those occasions there is generally an unaccountable scarcity of water and a lack of discipline on the part of the firemen. When will business people pay at- tention to these plain facts and thus avert what now appear to be the necessary cdncomi- tants of a long and dry Summer? Tux Baooxtyw Trost Company, through the receiver, makes a statement of the assets and liabilities of the concern,’ by which it great caravansdries at the seaside and at the springs, and among the mountains, lakes and waterfalls of the interior, indicates a gen- erally prosperous people, who have something to spare beyond their average savings for pur- poses of health, pleasure and relaxation. On the other hand, a short harvest to the reapers of our Summer resorts is considered as mark- ing a corresponding decline in the net pro! all round of our sharp, wiry-edged, bustling, pushing, money-making and calculating people. By this standard our Summer season, 60 far, of 1873 betrays a general deficiency in the returns of our last Spring trade and some } bo .uties of Groat Salt Lake, retrenchments throughout all our business classes for the Fall campaign of buying and selling. From Newport, Saratoga, the White Mountains, Niagara; indeed, with very few exceptions, from all the shrines of our Sum- mer pilgrims within our own borders we have the suggestive report that the season is “slow,” and promises less than an average in- come. It is midsummer; the Summer East has been dry anf favorable for travelling; our country hotels were never in better condition for the entertainment of visitors; the cholera in the West and South has caused a general movement from numerous localities in those sections to more salubrious places; the mer- cury for some days in this city and over a wide extent of country has been ranging among the nineties, and yet there was never perhaps before on the last Sunday in July so large 3 a ae of the residents of Man- hattan island still in town as there is this day, or will be in the evening, with the return of our suburban excursionista. New York city, in short, is becoming an attractive Summer resort, and may be made, as it should be, the most popular on the Con- | rom & scivdphimaetel ats Branch and the intervening Jersey coast to the ink Highiaiiag;and thence up the Shrewsbury inlet to Red Bank this July, particularly on Saturday night or Sunday morning, the visi- tor will be apt to conclude that the cities around New York's great harbor must be de- populated and that half their inhabitants are in Jersey. But all theee Jersey retreats, with their railway and steamboat lines, which give you half o dozen times a day communication with Wall street, Broadway and Washington Market, are so convenient to New York and its suburban cities and towns that wo have here no criterion from which to judge of the White Mountains, the Catskills or the Adiron- dacks. Moreover, is not the President of the United States established at Long Branch in his cosey ‘‘cottage by the sea?” and ‘‘is not the king’s namea tower of strength?” In truth, the establishment of the President and his amiable family at ‘‘The Branch,”’ and their quiet, unpretending and popular mode of life and enjoyments through all the Summer there, have been and are, socially and financially, invaluable to the prosperous settlement. But why, in the general estimate for this Summer's fashionable season, have we this prospect of a general deficiency in the har- vest? The reasons are at hand, and promi- nent among them is the fashionable exodus to Europe. Since May—yea, since April last— all our outward bound transatlantic steamers have been crowded with our health and pleas- ure seekers off to Europe, and still our people are going over in hundreds by every depart- ing steamer. Many of these passengers are native Europeans, drawn to the fatherland or motherland by the ties of kindred and early associations ; many are Americans, to whom Saratoga and Newport, having become a thrice-told tale, and who find among the old ruins and peoples and _insti- tutions and treasures of art and of his- tory in Europe temptations and compen- sations for the voyage over the sea which they connot resist. And then to Pater fami- lias the special pleadings of his prudent wife and daughters are conclusive that four months devoted to a European tour will cost less than two months in running the Summer gauntlet st home, and that so much can be saved in the purchase of dresses and hats, and gloves and shoes, and everything, in Paris; and that the girls ought to see something of the world, and that they are really getting delicate and need a sea voyage. But the paramount reason for this general exodus of our fashionable world is that it is the fashion. This season, moreover, business inducements, the general peace of Europe, the Vienna Exposition, the Shah of Persia and the reviving fascinations of Paris have made the trip to the other side more the fashion with our people than ever be- fore. At any rate, from twenty to thirty mil- lions of American money for 1873 will have been expended by our travellers in Europe at the end of this Sammer, which would be saved to our Summer watering places were there no transatlantic steamers, We are thus confronted with the embarrass- ing inquiry of the old Tammany Ring, ‘What are you going to do about it?’’ We must make our Summer resorts more attrac- tive. They need many reforms. Hotel keepers should provide more for the substantial com- forts of their guests and expend less upon wasteful glitter and extravagances. Their general charges should be reduced, and at least their most glaring and offensive inci- dental extortions should be ubolished. Our railway and steamboat kings should organize ® system of Summer excursions, cheap and attractive, from our great cities to all the enjoyable scenes and wonders of our grand, ‘appears that the act of suspension was not caused by immediate pecuniary emborrass- ment. The statement gives a surplus of over ne hundred thousand dollars above all lia- bilities. There will be a meeting of the stock- holders on Monday, when some satisfactory conclusion may be arrived at and the company may be once more set in running order, glorious and beautiful country. In these enterprises there are mines of gold richer than the richest of California, in properly develop- ing which our railway, steamboat and Sum- mer hotel managers will be amply rewarded, The proof is in profits of the cheap excursions The pitiless coast of Labrador ora steamboat trip through the great lakes, from Buffalo to Duluth on the western point of Lake Superior, the Queen City that is to be of the King of the Great Lakes, But why the directors of the Union and Central Pacific railroads have failed to get up fits | 22Y cheap excursions across the Continent this Summer we cannot conjecture. One would think that to advertise their iands they would organize cheap Summer excursions to the magnificent valley of the Platte, to tho apparently boundless plains of Laramio, to the wild scenes of the Weber Canyon, to the its pictorial basin and its charming Mormon City of Zion; to the grand palisades of the Humboldt, that wizard stream of Nevada; to the exquisitely beautiful forests of the Sierra Nevada, and to the cliffs and cascades of the Yosemite. We dare say that a few years hence, with o rail- road to our great National Park, embracing of the Yellowstone, we shall have a compen- sating tide of Summer travel from Europe; but, meanwhile, considering that the good old times have passed away, and, consulting the changed condition of things around us, our railway and steamboat chiefs and the pro- prietors of our Summer resorts can hold their ground against our transatlantic steamers only by a comprehensive system of reforms, improvemonts and inducements, embracing ® round sum for the necessary expenses of a cheap Summer excursion, in any direction, and from the trip of a day's journey to the ex- pedition across the Continent, The War in Spain—Germany the New Arbiter of jurope. Onr latest news from Spain reveals o situa? tion little altered. The chaotic condition re- mains, and if there be any difference at all it points in the direction of wilder confusion. ~a& special Heratp telegram, dated in thecamp in Catalonia, reports the war p of the Carlists against the constitutesgovernment of Spain. The Bourbonists under 2gn Alfonso have cap- tured, after a slight rop‘slance, the city of Reus, in Catalonia, the secon municipality of importance after Barcelona, '1.0@ resist- ance of the republicans was feeble. Bar elona is threatened. It is even now almost isolate from communication with the government cen- tres. Igualago has fallen to the royalists, and Figueras’ position at Gerona is critical. French refugees, able-bodied men, are cross- ing the frontier line in large numbers. They are forced into the service of Don Alfonso if they do not join his army-voluntarily. And so the war goes on. It is difficult to know what to say of Spain as Spain now is, or what to predict-of her future. A more completely demoralized country perhaps never existed. Most certainly not one of the so- called civilized countries has, in modern times, presented so sad a spectacle. The bill sup- pressing the Admiralty and just passed by the Cortes may not, all things considered, be either # very: wise or a very prudent measure; but, conceived and carried through in the in- terests of national economy, it ought not, per- haps, to be handed over to unqualified cen- sure, Spain, most people think, still needs her navy; but if, in the judgment of the men now in power, the national life can only be preserved by great sacri- fices, we ought to judge her gently for making what the most thoughtfal must regard as a great mistake. If the. National Cortes had made a vigorous effort to pay the sailors the Cartagena affair would not have happened. The suppression of the Admiralty is almost certain to lead to farther mutiny, and even Germany may find it’hard to capture all the well-armed Spanish pirates. Germany, however, has taken a part in the contest, and it remains to be seen how far Bis- marck and the Emperor William are prepared to sustain the conduct of their representa- tives. The world has not forgotten the cause of the late Franco-German war. There are not a few well qualified to form an opinion who think that it might have been better for Spain to-day and not a whit worse for France if Leopold of Hohenzollern had been allowed quietly to mount the throne of Ferdinand the Catholic, of Charles the Fifth and of Philip the Second. Has the German government again been approached? Is there a section of the Spanish people still in favor of Leopold? Has the approval of Bismarck and his master been obtained? We cannot answer the ques- tions in the affirmative; but we dare not say that Prince Leopold, with a German army at his back, might not be a positive blessing to Spain. Without German army at his back Leopold, we may rest assured, will never enter Madrid, If Spain wants him, and if the Ger- man government consents, what Power is there in the world to say ‘‘No?”’ The Carta- ‘gena affair and the action of Contreras may be part of a well conceived plot or it may be a bad blunder. In either case, however, it gives Germany her opportunity. Since the downfall of Isabella the Republic has twice failed. The Italian dynasty, as ‘all the world knows, was no success, A sturdy Teuton, himself a good Catholic, backed up by the entire strength of the German Empire—might not that prove the resurrection of Spain? We do not forget Don Carlos, but we know that Don Carlomat Madrid will not settle the Spanish difficulty. Tux Repvpuicans in Cuba are loyal, if their own words may be trusted. They fear the restoration of royalty in Spain. They addréss words of warning to Captain General Pieltain and offer their services against the ‘‘conserva- tives,’’ who are called “the enemies of the Republic."’ It might be well if the so-called Places—The | West Point, Newport and Saratoga. The| The Princely Farm of Schwarzenberg. It is seldom that princes are famed for their love of agricultural pursuits, or can be per- suaded to take a lively interest'in stock farms, forest culture, breweries, sawmills and lime kilns. It is not the way in which noblemen, from Sir Bedivere to Lord Gordon Gordon, have been in the habit of spending their time. The late Prince Albert, it is true, had agri- cultural tastes which led him to purchase Osborne House ; but ho was only an imitator of other German princes greater and richer than the house from which he sprung. One of those whose example he was most likely to copy was Prince Schwarzenberg of Austria, an ac- count of whose estates and their management forms a very charming letter in this day's Herarp. We need not here recount the ex- tent of the Prince’s possessions or repeat the details of his management of his vast prop- erty. The letter of our correspondent is re- plete with all these details, and takes the reader with the Prince and his guests over the hills and valleys of the Schwarzenberg estate in Bohemia, presents him with a portrait of the Prince himself in almost homespun farmer garb, and draws a picture of farming and farm life at Wittingau. All this will be the more interesting to American readers from the fact + that it is in such marked contrast to everything American. With a whole continent of virgin soil the eminent domain of North America has not so profusely passed into the hands of individuals. The Pilgrims were content to take what they could till and leave the rest to others. The Patroons of New York never dreamed of such vast appropriations of land. Even William Penn, who reserved liberally for himself, was not able to control so large the incomparable geysers, falls and canyons*| an estate ina territory where he was absolute master. In America, where everything else is great, farms are small, and we may well look with wonder upon the estates of a Schwarzen- berg. Summer Gods and Satyrs. | Why is it impossible for a man of decent digestion to enjoy his beefsteak and mutton chop in the eity during the Summer? Why does he find himself longing after green fields? But no, your average man never longs after green fields, pure and simple. What he yearns after is the society of his fellow man or fellow woman under different conditions from thoge in which he enjoys it in town. There are poets who tell us all sorts of pretty tra- ditions about the harmonies of nature and the beauty of communion with her. But thecom- munioa with nature, like the communion of the Church, is @ sacrament that most of us, it is to be feared, think too little about. Do we go into the country to enjoy the yerdure of the fields and the azure of the sky? How many of us lie in the grass and peer up into the in- finite, even if we are not afraid of rheumatism and set lumbago at defiance? How many of us yearn to penetrate the inscr: table, and re- pair to the open vastitndes of the SGERY to drops, or to hold the ocean of spirit within us jn communication with the ocean of expanse wichout? Not many. Intercourse with nature, so far @% most of us are concerned, means high living ‘Ma watering place, the transferral of metropolitan agnviviality to some kingdom by thosed.

Ah, no! These: days of inspiration are given to exceptional souls alone.

Plain, practical men have not the spiritual heart; to them this divine hunger is unknown. Give the plain man, therefore, his full, free, bounteous and busy life.

Our worthy brethren of the religious quill seem to have nearly wilted away this week ; hence they and their papers may be dismissed to-day in avery summary manner, which is not an unreasonable thought, considering the thermometer is away up among the nineties and scarcely a breath of air stirring. The Golden Age sermonizes over the late financial lapse in Brooklyn, and selects the ‘case of the late Ethelbert 8. Mills as a theme upon which to “point moral and adorna tale."’ Says the Age:— Mr. Mills 16 dead, but Mr. Rodman 1s living.

The Independent discourses about the late college regattas and puta in the following first rate notice of the Yale boys: — Last year Yale’s defeat was overwhelming and diszracefal; in 1871 she sulkily stayed at home; ia 1870 she lost the race in a way made the more un- endurable by the short-lived joy of pyrareny vic- tory, while, since 1865, her fortune had been unl- formly bad, But the Yale boys were iano Thev went to work almost hopelessly, but skilfully and doggedly, under hostile criticlam, even within their own walls, And they won, and won every thing.

Says the editor :— = The disadvantages of the secrecy of this secret order of “Patrons,” and Granges, are, first that it will, of rigorous necessity, exclude from it the entire body offaithfal Catholics, who are prohibited, by their religion, from joining such a secret society. Ths exciusion of Catholics will be a fatal blow to the success of the farmer movement.

But do not flatter yourself or him that, though Sara- toga or Newport or Baden be the scene, he is thereby approaching one whit nearer to nature, or to that God which the poet tells us is to be seen through her. Nature is not a piece of plate glass through which the Cre- ator is to be spied by everybody, like goods in ashop window. What! Shall the man who looks forward to his soup and his celery detect the impress of the Infinite in the aroma of the ocean and the gigantic sighings of the surf-swept shore? Shall he to whom Sum- mer saunterings would be little worth without lobster salad and clam chowder remark the measureless mystery of the sea shell and find @ mournful human music in its minute imprisoned voice? To sensual men sensual pleasures—pleasures not wholly and alto- gether wrong; wrong only in their excess and monopoly. We cannot transmute the satyr into the god. Let us rejoice that in all ages the world has held enough earnest spiritual natures to leaven a little the general lump: and not blame the general lump too much for~ not being immeasurably better than it is. We print a letter from General Jordan this morning referring to a passage in an inter- view with General Manuel Quesada recently published in the Hzmazp. General Jordan brings evidence to show that he succeeded General Quesada as Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban army. All this is well enough, but these little matters scarcely require correction. The Cuba struggle has already given rise to more bickerings than was good for the cause. Differences will occur among thd officers of any army, but it is not often best that they should be dragged before the public. Untfor- tunately, publicity seems to have been con- stantly courted by the friends of Cuban inde- pendence in this city, and they have rushed into print upon every favorable opportunity.

We are glad to know that the letters to which we refer have aroused the municipal autnorities of Philadelphia, and that “Alaska and St, Mary streeta” are to be improved. Philadelphia is large city, and under the most favorable circum- stances we presume a great deal could be found within its limits to shock the sensibilities of good people, but evidently the existence of such locall- ties as “Alaska” and “St, Mary streets” is a re- proach to her good name, damaging to her reputa- tion and honestly entitle her to the unenviable fame of being the wickedest city in the world. Fortunately for Philadelphia, the Nsw Yore HERALD circulates largely in that city, to which the inhabitants are indebted for a knowledge of the squalor, wretcheaness and crime which sur- round them, aad it is creditable to the magma- nimity of the Philadelphia press that they are prompt in awarding the credit to their New York contemporary. — ag7eTewawowee eA {From the Lancaster (Pa.j Examiner, July 25.) The New York HERALD ts certainly entitled to the thanks of the people of Phisadelphia, and, im- deed, of the people of the whole country, for the timely exposure of the sinks of vice and the wick- edness practised in secret placesin that city. It ts only by such exposure that public opinion cam be created against such places sufiiciently to compel the proper authorities to use their power for the suppression of them. That such hell-holes ag are described in the HERALD should be allowed to exist in the midst of a Christian people is a disgrace to the name, and when the facts of their existence are known to the authori- ties, and no attempt is made to break them up, who but these same authorities are responsibie for them and the crimes committed in them? But Philadetphia is not the only city where such wick- edness is winked at. Anyone walking upon the streets of this city after eleven o'clock at, night can see promenading young girls, many of them not out of their teens, whose characters are of the lowest grade, and who, if followed to their dwelling places, would exhibit dens of infamy and vice not many degrees above those described in the New YORE HERALD, while the more respect- able (?) places, known on the sly, are numerous. ‘There is but one way to break up these vile places. Let the police arrest every female found on the atreets after eleven o’clock without an escort, ang when the existence of houses where night carous- ings are practised are known .to the authorities, let them be searched and cleaned ont. A DISTINGUISHED ARRIVAL. Ath earth Leh ty One of the Pope’s Private Secretaries im New York—His Mission and His Future Work. Monsignor Kristaffy, one of the prelates of the Pope’s domestic household, is now in this city. He is stopping for the present with Father Eugene, Superior of the Franciscan Fathers, whose church ig located in Thirty-first street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues. Strange to say, al- though Monsignor Kristaffy 1s one of the private secretaries of the Pope and in-~ timately connected with the diplomatic service of Cardinal Antonelli, he has been able to travel for fifteen months through the United States without being at any time, to use a vulgar phrase, ‘“‘spotted’” by either newspaper men or the general public. Monsignor is @ distinguished linguist, being per- ferfectly at home in fifteen different languages; and it is not unreasonable to suppose, therefore, that his mission from Rome was not created by, ‘ St. Johns, the honor of to our despatch » | mere chance.
