ATLANTIC HOUSE, HoBoKEN.-This beautiful hotel
has lately been erected by John c. Stevens, near the
ferry, and was opened few days since by Thomas
Swift 1t is large square two story house, situated
where the delightful breezes from the river blow all
around it. The accommodations are of superior
order. There are eight parors, with sleepingrooms
attached, for families. These rooms are all hand
somely furnished, and are large and airy. Those in
the second story open upon piazza both sides of
the house, which makes "a delightful promenade.
On the top is cupoa, from which magnificent
view can be had of New York, Staten Island, the
Narrows, Jersey City, and Hoboken At the back
of the house s fine green, reaching to the river
The bar is well stocked with the choicest wines and
liquors
There is no doubt but before long Hoboken will
be the summer residence of many of our merchants
The want of good hotel there has been felt, and
this want is now supplied by the gentemany host
of the Atlantic, Mr.. Swift. His accommodations
for families are very superior, and cannot fail to
please all who sojourn there.

The CHAMBERS STREET TRAeEDY-This is now
the topic Of universal discussion throughout the
city. Amongst the class OF society to which the
parties belong, the most intense interest has been
excited. and, indeed, in every other circle the sem
sation is hardly less strong and prevalent
The facts in the case are certainly very remarka-
BILE and mysterious, and, as we remarked yesterday,
are utterly rreconcileable with the suppostion that
the poor girl committed suicide. In the first place
the body was found lying on the floor of the bed
room, perfectly divested of clothing That OF itself
is almost sufficient to prove that it was not suicide
Even the most abandoned female, if determined to
commit the act of self-destruction, would shrink
with horror from the idea of leaving her person ex
posed in this manner. But again, the door was not
locked Is not this further evidence that the girl
did not die by her own hand! Is it at all within the
bounds of probability that she could have deliberate
y set about the work of self destruction and YET have
taken no precaution against being interrupted, and
her purpose defeated, by some one of the numerous
inmates OF the house entering her apartment? But
the appearance OF the body presented indubtsble
evidence that other hands than her own de-
priveo her of lie. In the first place, a piece
OF muslin, several yards in length, and two or three
inches broad, was found stuffed firmly in her throat
and mouth, then around her neck bandape of mus

left little room to doubt that it had been placed her

possible that the various acts which we have de
scrbed, could have been committed by the girl her
self The gagging alone was sufficient to produces
death. The punctures in the abdomen must hav

The WASHINGTON MURDER.-The decision OF the
justices in this appears to give universal satis
faction-at least amongst all the intelligent friends
of law and order. 1t is fully time that the sanctity
of human life should be properly regarded by all the
ministers of justice. The assassin has in quite too
many cases been privileged character We think
sbetter order of things is beginning to be intro

afternoon, from the yard of Messrs. Gabey Williams

Charleston packets, and is built to correspond with

arranged with studied air Of neatness and COM
fort, something upon the style of the Liverpool pack

600 tons, carpenters calculation. This is the first
vessel of her size that has been LAUGHED from this
place since 1886, although there have been great
number of smaller class built within that time, yet
none have caused more excitement than this.

DIR. MOriarty in Ireland.

Mr.. O'Connel then rose at meeting
in Limerick, and said he had to hand in
81, the subscription of the Rev, Mr.. MORT
arty, Of Philadel phia, whom he regretted TO
zee ia Ireland. Personally, he rejoiced to
see him, but tfo regretted exceedingly the
cause that had brought him there; II was
to raise money to rebuild Catholic Chur~
ches that had been burnt during the late
riots. The public were aware that atroclty
unparalleled in civilized times-horrors that
made many men ashamed to belong to hu>
man nalure--had been perpetrated by the
inhabitants of PhlIadeI phia, under the
name Of Natives, against the Catholics and
the Irish.
Ga the first occasion Of these riots, they
held a meeting for the purpose of entering
into resolutions against the Catholics, and,
as the Irish were allowing them 10 proceed
peaceabIy, they moved an adjournment into
the Irish quarter. They went looking for
a riot, and the persons who went among
Irishmen tor such purpose was not likely
to be ppointed; or it he were, ne could
easily get up a riot himself. They des-
troyed the Catholic Churches, and on the
4th of July, the anniversary of American
independence, that brutal and barbarous
mob got the authorities to disarm the CATH
olics under The pretence that they should be
protected, and then attacked them, unlll they
were driven back by superior military or
militia force. Such was the origin of this
horrible instance Of bigotry and fanatcsm.
(Hear, hear.) He rejoiced that nQ Catholic
people had ever been gully Of any fanaiical
violence, though sovereigns-as IN the
atrocious reign Of Queen Mary Of England
had done so.
Hold-hold! O'Connel. What were the wars
Of the Crusades? Were they not MURDERS?

that Christ uses; and NEVER recommended

The evils that mark our times are msla.

like mock sunbeam, and then leaves US

cause in the very womb Of our social sysa
