BLACKwELL's lsLAND-The atmosphere of
Backwell's Island does not appear to exercise "a
salutary influence on the mind of genius Mike
Walsh seems to get worse and worse, instead OF
getting better and better His last paper is per-
feet embodiment of bitter and malignant feeling
against the whole world. Now, Mike might have
made his paper very readable during his residence
on Blackwell's Island. If, for instance, he had
studied the mysteries of human nature on that
beautiful Island, he might have found innumerable
subjects of interesting and amusing description.
If he had looked on his associates, as Eugene Sue
has regarded the inmates of La Force, Mike
might have given the world very entertaining,
pathetic instructive work. 1t is not yet too late
for him to redeem his character in this respect.
He has still some time longer, which he may pre-
fitably employ in this way Instead of pour
ing out his walls of wrath against every
body and every thing, let him take our advice, and
study the state of society on the Island, and
the progress of human nature under that peculiar
code of laws and social regulations which have
been adopted there. Let him inform us whether
Fouriersm has made any progress amongst the in
habtants, and whether any new and philosophic
views of the organization of society have been
preached. The degree of civilizaton-the preva.
lent manners and customs-the peculiarites OF
habit-the variety of Characteristic physical and
moral condition Of the sojourners generally-all
these topics are eminently worthy of calm and phi
losophic observation. 1t would be very interesting
to ascertain accurately whether or not there is in
the aggregate a greater amount of roguery in a
corner of. Wall street than on the whole island,
from one end TO the other, including even the
buildings occupied by the officers to whom the adj
ministfation of the laws, &c. of the territory has
been entrusted? Let Mike by all means give us
information these points, and thus give us some
pictures of Blackwelrs, Island graphic and inte
resting as we have occasionally given Of Coney
Island

, The COMMENCEMENT OF THE FASHIONABLE SEA
soN-The fashionable season in this metropolis
commenced last evening. Ii was a brilliant OPEN
ing. TamInany Hall and the Apollo were radiant
with the beauty, wealth and fashion of " Young
America AT the former place, the large bail
room was crowded with multitude, which IN ele-
gance, unaffected grace and genuine native purity,
we never saw equalled, much less surpassed in this
or any other city. The decorations of the room
were in exquisite taste, and reflected the greatest
credit on the taste and Judgment of those to
whom that part Of the arrangements had been
entrusted. AT the Apollo, the scene was almost as
brilliant and imposing. The ball here was the first
given by a new association-the Neapotan-one
recently formed here for the purpose of creating in
the fashionable world a revolution analogous to
that which "Young America" is producing in the
political arena. At Washington Hall, also, large
and brilliant company trpped it on the light fan
tastic toe.
1t is very interesting to mark the change which
is now going on in Society in this city. In the
crclesformerly considered the haut tom, and who
arrogated to themselves the exclusive right and
title to be regarded the only posssssors of all that
is elegant and refined in civilization, a great
revolution has taken place. The CONNER
cial disasters of the last few years, and the re-
WILSON'S in business generally, have almost annihi-
lated every vestige of this aristocracy. A few ia
my circles still retain their position but they do
not appear in public. Their ''set' has been broken
up, and they endeavor to make amends for the de-
probation of public opportunities of display, by
giving private parties of unusual magnifcence, and
affect great contempt for vulgar amusements, as
they style the theatre, the concert room, and the
assemblies at the Apollo and Tammany Hall.
But Young America" is coming into the field
with all her feminine grace and loneliness. She is
rapidly filling upthe places heretofore occupied bya
mushroom arstocracy, who have gone to the devil.
And it was truly refreshing to look upon the gay
and joyous thronss who last night filled the now
fashionable ballroom Of the city. There was no
afecaton of European superfine elegance and re-
hnemen But there was charming republican
simpicity-a natural and graceful propriety-and
variety of beauty, from the blushing girl of sixteen
to The matron in her full development of womanly
charms, which showed that the native elements Of
all that is refined in civilization amongst us in
abundance. There were the blooming ranks from
which our future elite are to be produced. No
sckly exotics, but the pure, fresh, healthful, un
fading Indigenous flowers of loveliness and ele-
gance, brought into existence the cash principle,
and destined like it to flourish in enduring beauty,
after all the pershable materials of corrupt and
rotten aristocracy shall have disappeared for ever,
leaving not a trace behind.

ago, in Carroll Hall. That was vsable outrage OF
deccncy-on cur institu,ions-on the very religion
itself Of which Bishop Hughos protested to be dig
nitary. Now, we have no doubt that this distinction
will be perceived and respected by the new party
And, indeed, we have already seen evidence of that
for at one OF their recent meetings, when allusior
was made to public school, with a cross on it

country; but let us put down the principe"-mean
ing the principle which would admit the offensive
patronage and sanction Of any one form OF religion
more than another. This was in the right spirit.
AS TO the present aspect Of the new party. and it.
hopes for the future there is no doubt that large
portion of the members Of the Legislature at AL
bany, are on the way TO form coalition with the
new movement About forty or fifty of the Stat,
Legislators-comprising many of the soundest ant
best men in the State-are pledged to carry on
constitutional reform. Here is common grount
on which they and the American Republicans cal
meet and fraternize. In Congress itself, also
large body of the members are prepared TO cast OF
the trainmels of party. Post Office Reform, and
number of other popular measures of improvement
will afford them an opportunity of exhibiting thei
desire to take new and patriotic ground. Thus OF
all hands the beckoning omens Of futur,
prosperity, strength and usefulness of the party
| Let those who direct the movement TO it, tina
they improve the encouragement thus afforded, ant
that they linger and faint not by the way.
