From something may be learned as to real this district, which, 16 is worth while to from assessed values or spec- ulative values, From what has been already said it will readily be inferred that MARKET THE RENT offers no hope of that much desired consumma- tion, @ reduction of rents, Here is where the fool- P-hazard policy of the government comes home to the workingman, whether he be artisan, clerk oF Uttérateur. the effort vo stop the panic or meet its results by the issue of larger amounts of currency Mr, Richardson has brought about an infation that reduces the income ol six Months ago very materially. In other words, the Value or purchasing power of a greenback dollar, with $356,000,000 outstanding, is different from its value or purchasing power when that oustan circulation 1s to 000,000, is @ simple sum in proportion, or the rule of three.

A man with a salary of $60 per week thereby suf fers a reduction in his income of $7 50 by this WATERING OF THE CURRENCY, The inference is plain that rents must up in- stead of coming down, in the face, too, of lessavihty to meet them. So much for the fnatcial adminis tration of the great party of moral ideas, that has, erhaps, given so much thought to the moral that it forgot morality had @ practical basis, Effort has been made more than once in this column to call the attention of real estate owners to the tmpor- tant stake they have in the prompt and sound s0- lution by Congress of the pending financial problem, The illustration ven above is in tended to int out to them the immediate danger in which their interests are involved, With all other vaines changeful real estate cannot re- main stationary; hence the necessity of gettin, back to a system of ee that will not presen such sudden and dangerous evolvements, The Than who had the courage to proclaim in the face of the world that it was the correct thing to call spade a.spade lives in Distory. So, too, will the man who wil succeed in establishing the more im- portant ‘act that a dollar is @ dollar in this cout- try. We have had enough of euphemisms. What the real estate market wants now is tacts, and un- fortunately greenbacks have grown to be uncer- tain in that quality. However, they exist and are exchangeable, and while they do so and are so real estate can be had lor them, The point to be ob- served is—it will take more of them than it dida 58 dndustries that are its outgrowth. In this con- mection occasion was found to draw attention to the solid security ,which real estate in this county and adjacent offers beyond the ephemeral securiues of the Stock Exchange. To thoroughly illustrate this, something of the Style of the ordinary Wall street article bad to be @dopted for ease in explanation, which seemed the more proper that if the daily report of stock ‘Values and the money rate on the street involved the discussion of the whole financial problem cer- tainly the consideration of the larger interest, real estate, Claims a reflection upon the same Points. Especially in this country aoes real estate take this place—it might almost be said of prece- dence, In England the law of entail presents a bar to such real estate speculation as may be here, ‘where the allodial right of ownership makes CORNER LOTS THE RIVALS OF BRIE SHARES. Atthe present time this rivairy is without dem- Onstration, but that it exists in that very spirit has been clearly proved before now, and that it is @nelement to be considered in the future ought Rot to be overlooked. Beal estate is always dull in the fall of the year, the active season of dealings usually commencing bout February, with the birth of spring, when the earth gives evidence of a new creation, and continuing into July, until enterprise is shrivelled up by the torrid heat of summer. Though all branches oftrade were largely affected by the re- cent panic, real estate, while dull, has shown no indication of weakness or falling prices. Through the shrinkage of other values, which releases a large amount of currency from employment that must seek investment, in addition to the surpius created by the issue of the $44,000,000 reserve, Shere will likely be found money enough this Spring begging for usé in good real estate. ‘This is mot made as a prediction, because predictions in a country like ours, which changes se rapidly that the geography one learned at school is obsolete in middle life, are unsafe; but the premises being @iven it is submitted as A FAIR INFERENCE, The present sales in the auction mart are, ag has been pointed out above, mostiy iegal sales, Jargely under proceedings for foreclosure; but ‘even these are not above the average at this seasou of the year. They only command attention tn the @osence of other sales. When it is considered that Teal estate has nearly doubled in the last five years, and that, as a necessary consequence, mort- @ages have multiplied tn the same proportion, the umber of these foreclosures 1s really small, and shows ahealthy condition of real estate owner- ship. And this brings to the mind another thought fn this connection. REAL ESTATE IS REAL, ‘t cannot go out of sight or run away, or be paur- Joined or subtracted by defaulting cashiers or treasurers. It is always there. and the recent ic bas brought this knowledge me to @ very rge class who never gave thought to so patent a ck in its vulgar bat satisfactory obtrusion. The eal estate of New York county, including the an- mexed district, is mostly in the hands of large capi- talists or strong hoiders—men who know and @ppreciate that which they have as an investment, and are not disposed to lend themselves to, or, in other words, be influenced by any ephemeral ex- citement. ‘They have a great faith in New York as the first commercial city of this country— 4m fact, the concrete presentation of the great American Continent in the matter of destiny. ‘They believe in its future; amd they are right. There is a large amount of capital always seeking investment in New York real estate, always ready to absorb any amount of good real estate in this city that ig offered, no matter what may be the state of the money market at the time. The an- Dexation of a rtion of Westchester county has brought out this disposition, or, as we might gay, stimulated this purpose. CAPITALISTS ARE NOW SEEKING large plots in tis section at trom $300 to $1,500 per acre, wit are destined to be resold at ad- vanced prices as city improvements extend in that direction and the probiem of rapid transit is. satisfactorily solved. With that solu- tion will come the cutting up of all that section into city building lots, that will add a new faubourg to our community. Shallit be Ste. Ger- main or Ste. Antoine’? A iv, ears ago biocks of round just north of Central Park were often pur- chased by single individuals and resold in separate Jots realizing large profits. The same operations it is safe to look for in the newly acquired district. The large holders o1 real estate to-day, the Astors, Enos, Philipps, Peeks, Shaffers, Powers, Rows ani hundreds of others, have acquired their verritorial preponderance in just this spirit, They are men Who will never sell at cost, but being able to hold on \o their purchases, or in the slang of Wali street “carry” their investments, do so. They are also always in the market to buy anything that is de- @irable. The GREAT PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS mow in progress at the end of the island neces- sarily increase values in their vicinity, and with the prospect of a very easy money market this spring, amounting, it might almost be hazarded as @ prediction, to a plethora, there is likely to be considerable specalation in this dtirec- tion, In view of this pocagy se d the matter of the new parade ground calls for some notice, Con- cerning this proposed improvement (?) there is at preseat much diversity of opinion, inclining, how- ever, adversely to the scheme. This may seem strange, in view of the fact that at one time It was exceedingly popular among real estate owners im that neighborhood. But there is one thin about a Parade Ground in posse, with a capital P and 4 capital G, and a parade ground én esse, and as the in posse gradnally merged into the in esse, these same property holders corre- eye changed their views on the snbject. y recoliected the incident of one o1 our city Fegiments being piaced en masse Nnder arrest ior disorderly conduct at Prospect Park.

CIVIL AND MARITIME CONTRACTS. Liens on Foreign Vessels in Foreign Ports—Masters of Ships Not to Exceed Their Instructions—Important DOeci- sion by Judge Blatchford. Judge Blatchford on Saturday rendered his decis- ion in the case of J. H. Fechtenberg and J. a. Loven- green vs. The British bark Woodiand, her tackle, &c, ‘rhe libel sets forth that this is an action founded upon contract, civil and maritime ; thatin January, 1871, the Woodland being in the port of St, Thomas, in the West Indies, and standing in need of advances for repairs and supplies, dis- bursements and charges, J. Niles & Uo, merchants in St. Thomas, advanced to the master of the vessel,/for the purposes of the vessel, and on the credit of the vessel and owners, the som of $4,606 24, for which the master drew his two drafts or bills of exchange upon the owners, dated January 25, 1871, one for $2,000 in American gold coin, payable ten days after sight, and one for $2,606 24, in American goid coin, payable ten days atter sight, whereby he pledged the vessel, freight and cargo for the payment of the dra(ts, and gave to whomsoever might be the holders of the drafts a lien upon the vessel, freight and cargo. That Niles & Co. took up said money on the draits of the libellants, and duly assigngd to the libellants the said draits aud said demand for repairs and supplies, disbursements and charges and advances and the len therefor upon the bark, ireight and cargo, and that the libellants advanced said money on the credit of the vessel and cargo and freignt, and are owners of the Jien. ‘The libel further sets forth that the advances, re- pairs, disbursements and charges were material and necessary tor the vessel, without which she could not safely proceed on her intended voyage andearn freight and passage money, and that tre whole amount of the advances, in American gold coin, is due and unpaid to the libeliants; that neither of the dratts has been accepted or paid, although duly presented to the owners of the ves- sel, and that the libellants are the legal owners and hoiders there The libel prays process against the vessel and freight. Tne answer of the owners of the bark (being the same persons who were her owners at the time of the transactions set forth im the libel) denies the allegation oi the first article of the libel. It ad- Mits that the bark was at the port of St. Thomas in January, 1871; that while the bark was at St. Thomas her master drew three drafts on her own- ers and deliverea them to the firm of J. Niles & Co, It denies that such dratts created any lien upon either vessel or cargo, and denies that J. Niles & Co, took up the money on said drafts of the libellants, or assigned to libellants the draits, or the alleged demand for repairs, supplies, disbursements, Charges or advances, or the alleged lien therefor, and denies that the alleged advances for which the drafts were given were made for the purposes of the vessel, or on her credit, It avers that a large portion of the alleged advances, if made at all, Were made for the pretended purposes of the cargo of the vessel, and on the credit of such cargo, and neither the vessel nor the freight is llable for the game; that this Court has no jurisdiction over the case. There are various other allegations in the answer, some of which are to the effect that the charges were to be traudulently increased, and that the master of the vessel and J, Niles & Co. were to share in the drafts, or the proceeds thereof, and by reason of such fraud the draits were void, and Niles & Co, and the libellants never nad any lien on the vessel. The principal point upon which this case turned Will be found in the concluding remarks of the Jadge, as foliow: In the present case the libellants have put in evi- dence the letter of December 24, 1870, from the claumants 10 the master, That letter was made known to J. Niles & Co, and to the libellants, It authorizes the raising of the funds by drafts on Heaney & Parker, or by drafts on the claimants, and states that the claimants Have no doubt that the master will be able to ovtain funds in that way. Bat it contemplates, as the alternative means, only @ bottomry. It authorizes a bottomry if a resort to drafts tail. But it authorizes only drafts or a bot- tomry. It must be regarded asexcluding the mas- ter from resorting to deg | but arafts or a bot- tomry, and as excluding him from resorting to the creation of a lien on the vessel by any form of hypothecation other than a bottomry, or to the creation of such alien as 18 asserted in this case, whether an implied lien to result from the trans- actions or whatever lien the language of the draits may be claimed to create. J. Niles & Co. and the libellants deciined to take the master’s draits, as authorized by the letter, and insisted that the master should undertake to create a lien on the vessel by other means than a bottomry. They in- sisted that the master should exceed his authority, as defined and limited by the letter, It is ofno consequence to show that a resort to bottomry would have been more expensive to the claimants, They bad a right to limit the authority of the muster, and they did so. It 18 of importance to so administer the maritime law. that vesseis in distress in foreign ports shall not be deprived of the means of Lettewine J relief; but it is no less important that masters of vessels and persons dealing with them, with knowledge of the instructione under which they are acting, shall keep within the limits of such instructions. AS this is not @ case communis juris, and both par- ties are foreigners, and the contract was made ‘with reference to the law of the vessel’s country, it is @ case Where the question of the liability of the owners of the vessel can with especial pro- priety be determined by the tribunals of such country, The libel must be dismissed with cot J.

Lawyers’ Liens on Jud gments, Before Judge Neilson. Acaseof some importance to lawyers came be- fore Juage Neilson, in the City Court, on Saturday. The Jourdan vs. Jourdan breach of promise case ‘was tried in 1871 and a verdict of $5,000 rendered for the plaintim. An appeal was taken, but before this was perfected the defendant's attorney settled the case for a small amount, ignoring the piain- tis attorney, P. Keady, who applied to Judge Neilson a week ago and obtaine.t an order to show cause why the satisfaction of judgment should not be set aside and the piaintif’s at- torney allowed to proceed to collect his costs. The order was made _ returnable yesterday morning, when plaintia’s counsel stated the case. Defendant's attorney argued that the papers should have been served on the detendant personally, but the Court held differently and granted an order setting aside the settlement on the ground that it was a fraud on the rights of the plaintiffs attorney, and allowing the latter to issue execution for his costs, $370, thus holdin, that-a settlement made in this way after jadgmen: 1s entered, without the knowledge of the attorneys, is not good.

A series of articles which has been appearing in one of the monthly magazines, under the title of ‘The Chesterfield Letters of 1873, by Lord G— H—.,” has attracted a degree of attention which 1s certainly not due to Its literary merits. Cynical letters from a father to ason, or from an uncle to a@ nephew, in imitation or in caricature of those which Lord Chesterfield addressed to the slovenly booby in whom he vainly hoped to prolong his social triumphs, have long formed a hackneyed subject for cheap satire. The latest Attempt to ex- tract humor ‘from this exhausted topic ap- pears to be chiefly remarkable for coarseness of language and ideas, and for the impudent repett- tion of stale jokes and second hand indecencles, We cannot pretend to have read more than a few pages of it, but the rest seems wo be in the same strain. In the part we happened to fall upon an uncle 1s endeavoring to persuade his nepnew against a love-match, ahd here are some samples, taken at random, of the delicate wit and spark- ing epigram of the modern Chesterfield, The writer points out “the vulgarity of all this business of jailing in love with a view tO matrimony,’ and “the small probability of your spouse retaining your afection and continuing to you hers for many months after you are made one.” “Pretty, you say she 18; but ‘ail women are alike in the dark,’ and after the first fortnight you Will be a8 much accustomed to her a8 you are to the old cane-bottomed chair.” “Women,” we are told, “are charming creaturs, no doubt; but no woman is nice enough to be a wile; whatever her charms, she woulda madden you as the Greeks thought a sweet perfume would madden a cat.” “No charm on your part will make yon an ex- ceptionaily favored husband; remember that Pasiphaé, the consort of prince, enamored, of @ bull, Titania of &c.; apd it is therefore madness join company with one who will become in a ieW months your mortal enemy for the felicity of being able to Yaw and brawi and maunder’ at one another during the term’o! your existeuce.” And so ou. We are not concerned to become the apologists of Lord Chesterfleld’s morality; but at least he Wrote like a wit and a gentlemen, The dismal rubbish which we have just quoted will show the general quality of the modern letters. ‘The writer was perhaps aware that trash of tls kind would fail to secure readers, and he therefore mt napon, the expedient of seasoning his dreary prose with a_ dash of real or apparent personalities, Various characters are introduced under names or in con- nection with circumstances which have led to the supposition that they- are not fictitious, but are imtended to be iaentilied with real persons. It is easy to imagine the amount of annoyance, and even pain, which may be caused tn this way. It gets Whispered about that this character is meant tor such a reo and that character for such another; and a malicious, or perhaps only an idle, ingenuity is exercised in endeavoring to attach names to the different portraits. For this the writer may plead that he 13 not responsible; but he cannot escape responsioility if he has men- tioned matters which naturally Suggest a personal identification. This point has just been put to the test in the case of “Tne Chesterfield Letters of 1873.” One of the characters sketched in these letters is “Harry Browne, the Honorabie Harry Browne, a lieutenant colonel in Her Majesty’s Fourth or Chanticleer Regiment of Guaras, and a Member of Paruament for Ballykilljohnstown-Kennedy-borough.” ‘Can you,’ it is asked, “resist his deep musical voice, his slow, impressive manner of aeene the most evident truism, bis beautiful belief in himself, his splendid mpsreepar for all others, nis graceful atti- tudes and ins riches? What does it matter if his father did make his title and earn his pension by?—and then follow some atrocious impu- tations which we preier not to repro- duce, This description was suspected to be levelled at Colonel Charles White, wno 1s the son of a peer, a lieutenant colonel in the Fusilier Guards and a member for an Irish constituency, and whose efforts at Parliamentary oratory are perhaps chiesly characterized by artistic vocalization. Colonel White accordingly determined to investigate tne authorship of the letter, and on Saturday last the following remarkable letter appeared in whe Times: Str—We have to request that you will insert the fol- lowing deciaration, which Was signed in our presence at Desart House, Katken ny, on the 48th ot December, 1873. si ediently, Sin, Yours mon ORLES CHAUFURD FRASER, Colonel FRANCIS BARING, Lieutenant Colonel. Loxpox, Dec. 19. “I, Wiliam, Ear! of Desart, acknowledge that I am re- sponsible for? the ‘Chesterfield Letters—1873,’ which ae been published in the magazine known as London bcd ‘deny emphatically, upon my solemn oath, that the article about ‘Harry Browne.’ in any way, however vaguely, referred to Colonel Charles White individually or to any meinber of his family. “(de@y that he, or they, were in any way in the mind of the Writer at ‘the ime, or in mine when I cortected the proofs. Had it been so J freely admit that that articie would have been defawatory, unwarranted, unwarrant- able, blackguasd, infamgns and utterly unworthy of a gentleman's pen. " “T hope that Colonel White will give the moepay Ucity to this statement DESARE ” It will be observed that this is not exactly the style of Chesterfield; and perhaps still less is. it the sort of letter which, if written by another, and presented with an imperative demand for signa- ture, would, under any circumstances, have been signed by Chesterfield, Lord Chesterfield was a cynic and a loose man of the world, but he was not deficient in those other qualities by which men of the world usually feel bouna to atone for their sailings. ‘The history of this letter appears to be as fol- lows:—It was discovered that the Earl of Desart had some connection with the recent Chesterfeld jetters, and Colonel White, Colonel Craufurd Fraser and Lieutenant Colonel Baring went to Desart House, Kilkenny, to inquire into tue mat- ter. On the 19th December, ek Fraser waited upon Lord Desart, while Colonel! White and Lieu- tenant Colonel Baring remained outside. As it happened, it was found to unnecessary tor Lieutenant Colonel . Baring to do more than witness Lord Desart’s signature to the declaration which he was requested to sign or tor Colonel White to appear atall. From a subsequent letter by Colonél Fraser it appears that the decla- ration Which was published under Lora Desart's name, and in which Lord Desart was made to say that he desired Colonel White to give the utmost publicity to it, was drawn up by Colonei Waite, Who instructed Colonel Fraser not to allow Lord Desart to alter it in any material respect; and that Lord Desari had this declaration beiore him for an hour, and finaly consented to sign it. In the interval, however, Lord Desart produced a private letter addressed to Colonel White, and purporting to be “dated the day before our arrival, but”—for some reason—"ngt posted,” and this letter, oddly enough, was to the same effect as the declaration. ‘This, however, was not accepted as a substitate for the declaration. Lord Desart demurred to the sentence begimning, “Had it been 80, I freely ad- mit that that article woulda have been-‘delamatory, unwarranted, unwarrantabie, blackguard, inta- mous and utterly unworthy of a gentieman’s pen''—a good strong sentence, not exactly Ches- terfleldian, but with merits of its own, and highly appropriate to the circumstances of the case; but Colonel Fraser said that it | could not be omitted “because Colonel White Will not allow it.” He also said “most impres- /Sively,” “I tell you, Lord Desart, upon my honor, that, if you do not sign this declaration, 1 consider that you will cause much unhappiness to your friends.” Upon which Lord Desart “consented”— to use his own words—‘to submit to whatcer- tainly may have seemed to be dictation.” It does not appear that Lord Desart expressed any desire for @ personal interview with Colonel White, more impressive it Lord Desart had only thought of adding the motto of his coat of arms—“Virtus repulse nescia sordid,” ord Desart acknowledges that he is “responsi- ble’’ for the “Chesterfield letters of 1873;” but in & second letter to “Dear White,” written after the interview with Colonel Fraser, he says he did not actually write the offensive articie, although he vis, and must be, uniortunately, responsible for it.) Whether Lord Desart wrote it or inspired it, or simply ordered it irom some person whose traae it is to write such things, does not of course in the least affect Lord Desart's responsibility for the pubiication of the article. He admits that he saw the proois, and the question remains whether the article can be considered a culpable one. On this point we may quote Lord Desari’s own words to Colonel White:—“That iz was pos- sible for people to point to me degree of carioature likeness to you in the first part of the offending paragrapao [ admit, but how the latter part can be in the remotest degree connected with you or your family I never did, and Ido not now, understand,” 1 little reflection would perhaps enable Lord Desart to understand that, if Cojonel Waite was thus labelled in the first part of the par- agraph, readers would be lea to suppose that the Test of it also applied to him or his family. A writer of sketches of this kind is not justified tn drawing a pictare ip which ‘it is possible for peo- ple to point to some degree of caricature likeness” to a Well-known person, and then Coupling it with infamous charges Which must appear to be di- rected against the family of the person thus carica- tured. Lord Desart's confession that Colonel White might be identified in the first part of tne paragraph appears to supply @ conclusive condem- nation of the article. “Truth and fiction cannot be fairly mingied in this way. On the whole, although the original Chesterfield no doubt wrote from a low moral point of view, the modern Chesterfield who is “responsible” for the letters in Society would seem to have something to learn from him, Perhaps, on the other hand, Colonel White and hts friends would have acted more wisely if, while compelling Desart to sign the declaration, they had refrained from calling public attention to the matter, They have invested with a factitious interest a paltry and stupid article which other- wise very few people would probably have taken the trouble to read and which none would have re- membered. It is to be hoped that Lord Desart will be careful not to become “responsible” for any “ ore productions of a suajlar nature, Perhaps the declaration would have been still) h if MUSICAL AND DBAMATIC NOTES, —_——_-—_—_ A sign that the panic is over—“Money” revived at Wallack’s, Mme.

THE SLEIGHING FIZZLE, After such a magnificent day on the runners a3 Saturday proved to be it was natural to expect a repetition of it yesterday, and robes weve dasted, horses carefuily groomed and sleighs burnished up to the highest point ofart. But alas! for human hopes, The sun made sad havoc with the snow and robbed it of its immaculate color, leaving siush and mud in its place. The few venturesome ones that braved the consequences and started parkwards were soon disgusted with the enter- prise and had a hard time of it getting home. A sail on the waters of the Sound, when the wind unexpectedly falls and ‘a painted ship upon a painted sea” is the metaphorical result, or a race day at Jerome Park, when the floodgates above are let loose on the devoted heads of the visitors to that fashionable centre, can scarcely be pro- ductive of more disappointment and chagrin than sleighing without snow. There were some ludicrous featares in this line yesterday. One man started in high glee with a blooded team of.fancy steppers from the porpet dl of Union square, to show his girl how artistically he could handle the lines and make a record on the road. ‘The ominous rasping of the runners on the pave- ment and the general disconsolate outlook soon cooled down his ambition, and by the time ne reached the Park he ‘wanted to go home.” How to get there was the question, and one not easily answered, Then followed « series of manwuvres of tne tacking order that would have | Spey 3 the most experienced New York pllot. The scanty patches of snow that escaped the sun’s rays served as buoys in the sinuous channel through which the sleigh was navigated. The avenues were carefully shunned, and only the least frequented side streets were explored. Occasionally the sul- fering swain halied a sleigh that tolled along with an inquiry as to the whereabouts of the next patch of snow, but seldom received an encour reply. When a trip from the Park to Union square necessitates tacking from Fifth to Eighth avenue almost the idea of pieasure and enjoyment is not easily recognizable, It would be well to wait for another fall of snow before risking one’s neck, horses and sleigh on the hard pavement of the city. Besides, the young Jady who forms such an attractive feature of a sleighing establishment is sure to pout and per- haps “get mad," and then @ rival becomes danger- ous. ‘ucks not being out on Sunday, it was necessary for the sleighing parties to get home on runners the best way they could, And a terrible time they had of it. sielowiaaldy > eedtloanill MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
