The cry is still they come!-more visiters. To-
day, the paths leading from the Division street
trance Of the hotel to the cottages a scene of
considerable hustle, such as may be witnessed in
the gangway of a steamer about TO start for some
distant port There was continuous stream of
Tunks and other descriptions of luggage, after the
arrival of each train. The porters cut along with
heir loads merriy, and appeared to enter into the
spirit of the wsrk with very hearty feeling.
There were few departures, but the arrivals were
by large numbers in the majority. | speak with
great sincerity, when say that am glad of it.
The Messrs. Marvin are most worthy men in
deed, they are the benefactors of the public they
are unceaslDg in tkelr exertions to meet their
wishes, and without the shadow of a shade of
question, their house Is IN every particular the
most magnificent hotel in the Union
In my letter OF yesterday ! spoke of the rich
style in which the beautiful lady OF General Hsr..
rera was attired. Her dress was of rose-colored
silk with a white flower, over which she wore a
lace cape, and in her hand she carried fan of
the most delicate texture, which she used with
peculiar grace. Her hair was parted in the middle,
and brought round her ears in the Victoria FASH
ion. Her necklace was continuation of pearls
and gold, and may be compared to that which was
presented TO the Queen of Tyre

Instsrr'd with gems, and gold in double rows
After having conversed with some Spanish
ladies, she expressed desire to have walk.

She said, then turning round, her beauties shine,
Her rosy neck displays it's charms divine
Her splendid locks immortal odors shed,
And breathe ambrosial fragrance round her head
Down to her feet her robe redundant flows,
And every graceful step the Queen OF beauty shows.
She wore this evening white dress with low
BODY, which presented one OF the most magnificent
busts ! have ever seen, In the dress there were
three large insertions Ut rlch lace Her ornaments
were, as usual, costly and profuse. From her side
was suspended watch, beautifully ornamented,
while her stomacher was a pearl OF great price,
and larger than Spanish quarter dollar. Her
step daughter, Mrs Mickle, was elegantly Dress
ed. She appears 10 be very amlable person, and,
from all have learned, have no doubt that she
ID 80.
This has been quite musical day One young
Lady sang two or three songs IN the drawing room
with much taste and techng, and, by the way, she
has an excellent voice. She accompanied herself
on the piano. This was TO me great treat la
the evening had the scientifically executed mu-
siC of Schpy deT's band 1t is exclusively composed
of Germans, and the leader (Nlr. Schuyder) is a
tirst rate musician, and indeed all are The
person who plays the tute makes that sweet instru
ment discourse eloquent and touching music. The
band was stationed under the piazza IN the garden,
and all the ladies and gentlemen OF the hotel were
seated around. Mrs. Herrera was the centre OF an
elegant circle, upon which was reflected dazzling
billsncy from the rich ornaments which adorn-
cu her peIson After the band had retired, the
ladies repaired 10 the drawing room, where they

Ioynez, one Of the Spdnsh gentlemen, "took the
floor" and went through the dance In most grace

excel IN this ccomplishmeni-" the poetry Of mo

There are very many most estlmable ladies' here
who, perhaps, do not pay as much attention to the
Stringent, aud ON come occasions objectionable,
rules ct fashion as Others, but nevertheless they
are to be ranked IN the very hrst class. Among
these are the ladies OF the M,ssrs. Chamberlain,
of Boston, aud of MIR. Whiting, and Of Others, with
whose names am not acquainted. The lady OF
Colonel Aston lie "a dignltird person her counte-
nance Ia as Interesting rs II IL beautiful Among
the young ladler, there are The Misses Mckee, Of
Philadelphia, who are ady-like and handsome ;
MIss Downing, whose looks bespeak her the pos
session Of high intellect, and whose conversation
appeared To- me why and animated; she is the life
OF her clrcle-faceuous, but sensible. Indeed, the
ladies' OF this class are 50 numerous, that II would
seem invldIOus-and unjust. TOTO speak only of
some three or four in every ten: therefore ! shall
say more upon the subject Ttns morning part
81 the time very prohtsbly and useully spent
IN the drawing room by some OF the young ladies',
who recersed "a Lesson IN the Spanish language
from one of the ladies from Cuba. This was
pleasing and a wise mode Of disposing of the tune.
What progress the pupils made am not able TO
say; but, at all events they were obedent and do
cie-two great and indispensable qualities in
learner.
The weather to-day has been tremendously hot.
