renee The question is, what did Paroles do on
the receipt Of that newsl Did he submit with a
good grace TO his more fortunate rival, did his
troops revolt and imprison hun
1t will be in the recollection of our readers that
a report to this effect was current here, some two
or three weeks ago. If the career Of Paroles has
terminated in the aforementioned way, we may
be sure that he was not taken prisoner under
circumstances which detracted from his reputa
ton for personal vaIor drawer man than Pa
redes does not exist, it said, in Mexico. He has
only one am, having lost the other some years
ago, while attempting to put down revolt II
is likely, that, in similar circumstances, he would
act with similar energy and courage.
CLOSE OF THE SEAsoN-rHs DISCRETION OF TEE
WATERING PLACES .-The springs, waite ring places
and summer resorts ofevery kind, are becoming
deserted. The summer is, in effect over, for the
hotel-keapers of Saratoga and of Newport. Tho
butterflies that have sported at the springs are
fast being resolved into their primitive condition
OF city grul.s; and the bellies whose charms have
not been sufficiently attractive to win husband
at the watering places, are returning home to
make new preparations tor the winter campaign
Gotham is again becoming populous. Citizens
well as strangers are pouring in by the boat
full Merchants returning TO their business
even the bands of music, which lent the aid of
their sweet sounds to swell the attractions of the
different summer resorts, have returned to the
city, and will soon be engaged in giving elasticity
and spirit to the light fantastic toes' of danes
and demoseles, at the balls and parties of the fall
and winter.
The merchant has returned to his counting

The immediate future is opening upon us with
the most hattering prospects of successful enter
prise 1t is probable that the business of this fall
will be greater than any that our city has seen
for several years The cold weather is upon us;
and with its return the hustle Of business and en-
terprise which it always brings with it, is fast
making itself apparent. Every sort OF business is
becoming brisk, and on every side is heard the
Cheerful note of preparation"
Every day we have to announce distinguished
arrivals at our principal hotels, and for a month
to come every hotel in the city will be crowded
with guests returning to their homes-some
north, some south, some west.
But it is not alone citizens OF the United States
that are our guests at present. Numbers Of Eu-
ropeans are at present amongst us, and the next
packet will bring vast accession. Theatrical
and musical stars are swarming to our shores
Sivor, Augusta, Anderson, Lucille Grain, and
others, coming to swell the throng, and on the
whole we will probably have the bnskest musical
and theatrical season that we have had for many
years. New York will enjoy, as she always has
enjoyed, greater facilities for both business and
pleasure than any other city in the Union.
New York is the Paris of America, and she will
shortly outshine her European prototype Why
should she notl She has every advantage of art,
science, wealth, refine ment, and prosperity. No
pleasanter city does the world contain, we, who
have sweltered through the last dog days pro-
tected by her brick walls, and refreshed by her
cool ices-(n,em Castle Garden)-can abun-
dainty testify. We, however, hail the approach
of cool weather with unalloyed satisfaction, and
say for the blessings yet in store for us, the Lord
be praised!
CAPTAIN GREsoRy--We noticed that this of
cer has lately been made the subject of a variety
of attacks in different quarters and that his con-
duct whilst in command Of the Raritan has been
very much msrepresented.
We believe the charges against him to be to-
tally unfounded.
He has ever borne the character of brave, in.
trepd, and gentemany officer, and all such
attacks as those at present made upon him vii
but rebound to his greater credit No officer Of
the navy stands higher in the estimation of those
who know him, than does Captain Gregory, and
in neither private nor public capacity has he any
superior.
During his command of the North Carolina in
our harbor, his popularity was unbounded; and
whilst on the Brazilian station, we learn from
the testimony of Captains of merchantmen and
others, that his conduct was such rs to exalt him
in the estimation of every person with whom he
came in contact.
We are not surprised that he is assailed, fol
ISLANDER loves shining mark"
