The New York herald., 1845-08-06


dusty and sultry village of bubbling fountains
The crowd is made up of all sorts Of people from
the little towns and villages throughout the country
and presents admirable specimens Of all the pecu-
anties of manner, dialect, and dress, to be me,
with in these United States 1t may thus be readily
| imagined, what mixed and motley throng fills up
The United States," Congress Hail." and all the
houses al Saratoga The old fashionable characters
that formerly paced the halls OF this celebrated wa
terlng place, are met with few and far between.
sprlngng up in the vast crowd at immense distances
from each other, like saints in the midst of wicked
and peryerse generation
The most fashionable and intellectual people at
Saratoga, are the celebrated bankers, financiers.
operators and capitalists of Park Row, Barclay
street, and their vicinity in New York. Profess
slonal men of that financial class, are the only
fashionable persons who appear in the splendid
porticoes and pazzas of Saratoga. There are al
least dozen faro-banks established in that vicinity,
and il is not little singular and amusing, TO
some of the most celebrated divines from New York
aud other places, with their lovely and pious tami
les seated at the same table with the propretors of
hese establishments. The great mass of the vsiters
is made up as we have ssd of persons from the small
towns and villages throughout the whole republic
great people and great bellies in little places-and
the mixture of rusticy affectaton, vulgarity, art
less grace and native elegance, is as piquant
as charming, and amusing one can desire.
Another feature the state OF society at Sarato-
ga is worthy of note-that is, the absence of wine
drinking, champaign suppers, woodcock picnics,
and front dinners. These amusements may be in
dulged in by the fnanciers OF Park Row, now al
the Springs, but the great OF the vlsiters are
content with the most homely fare, and with that
clearest and simplest beverage, in which the father
of mankind pledged his lovely spouse in the bowers
of Paradise. On Friday last Of the great balls
of the season was given at the principal hotel. Al
though that house, and all the houses, are crowded
to overlowing it was with difficulty that two cot
Ions were formed, and when they did succeed in
getting up two cotillons for half an hour, yet they
could not sustain the ball till eleven o'clock In
fact before ten o'clock one half of the vsiters
in bed, dreaming OF the wonders and delights of
fashionable life at Saratoga On the other hand,
when Professor Maffitt preached OF his elo-
quent sermons on the Sabbath day, the church was
jammed before he commenced, and the avenues to
it were crowded with devotees of both sexes and
all ranks of Saratoga society In fact, complete
revolution has taken place in Saratoga, and it now
society, with very little of the supper ten thou
sand,'' than was ever known in that vicinity
The fashionable people appear to delight in the
quiet and retired retreats throughout the country,
such Sharon Springs or rather less frequented
places, many successfully seeking peace and health
in cottage houses, shut out from the world by wood
ed hills, and near purling stream, far away from
the highway of travel.
Yet society at Saratoga is exceedingly interesting
to the student of natural history. Such variety of
the species it would be difficult find in any other
locality. The country clergyman and the Park Row
financier-the beautiful heiress from Jacksonville,
and the mliner from Division street.-the village
beau and the Pine street cerk-rural elegance and
city pollsh-virtue, vice, immortality, piety, grace'
vulgarity, all mix and mingle, and the whole is
perfect bedIam and Babel-a capital type and illus
ratlon of what the great Convention of this State is
likely to be with regard to its members, views, and
opinions
THE CAMBRIA's NEws.-It has not yet been salts
factorily ascertained whether the news by the Cam
bria was not, received in this city by egit
mate express. 1t has been stated that few specu-
lators had traffic in the news in the hope of making
large sums OF money. Among other papers, the
Express has noticed the enterprlze of despatching
news and was yesterday apparently very indignant
about the part took in the matter. In order to
set the whole affair in clear light, we will give the
following facts--
The news by the Cambria reached this city about
nine o'clock, last Thursday morning The first
paper we received, was handed in by Mr. Hollen-
back the mail agent We also received letter by
the same gentleman, dated at Boston, and stating
that the Cambria had reached that city. Mr.. Ii.
threw the letter and paper on the counter and inn
mediately left the office, and nothing of
him. after that, till yesterday He asked price fer
the paper; we did not give him cent; we have not
offered him cent. He gave us the paper, probably,
because the nearest office; because the
Herald from its reputation for news, first entered
| his head; and because Mr.. Tucker gave Mr.. II. to
understand that ii to go to any newspaper in
this city Mr.. Holenback acted perfectly fair in
the matter; has not neglected his mails, and has
received the postage due the letter he handed
to us The paper which we received was given
to Mr. Tucker by Mr.. Andrew Roberts, in Boston,
| to pass to Mr.. Holenback to be conveyed to us.
We had Mr.. Roberts own statement for this.
These are the facts of the case.
TwESrY-oYE Days LATER FROM BRAzIL.-By the
brig Isabel Capt Drebert, arrived yesterday ornlng
| from Rio de Janeiro we have received our files of
| the Jor1lol do Commerce. to the 10Th of June.
| They contain very little news oil Importance. On
the 26th the project Of law for the naturalization Of
the German Coonists of San Leopoldo came before
the Chamber of Deputies, but was again laid on the
table. The Chambers were engaged with discus
/ sions on the election laws.
On the 9Th, the committee which had been ap-
pointed to inquire into the situation OF the nhabi
tants of the Provinces Of Parahyba, Rio Grande do
Noue and Ceara, who suffered greatly from the

provinces, the effects of which had already in

made their report before the chamber, requesting
