The NEW JERSEY RAILROAD MoNoroLY.--Now
that travelling between the North and the South
has commenced, we hear the usual complaints
about the exorbi;ant fare charged the mo
nopoly railroadbctwcen this city and Phadcl pha--
Of the miserable accom- II odations which are fur
nished by the monopoy-and of the loose and
irregular In which that railroad il conducted.
These complaints are just and well founded; but
the monopolists are deaf and dumb when applied
to on the subject, and appear to be actuated by
munity out Of all they can, aud to conduct their
affairs without any reference at all to the wants
or comforts Of their passengers.
How much longer, would inquire, l. the rest
Of the country to be at the mercy 81 this mono
rolyl Is there way of breaking it upi We
hear great deal at election times Of anti-monopoy
and anti-nonopolists; but as the excite
meut l. over, the cry Of antilaenop,ly is never
heard. 1t appears to be quite immaterial which
party il ele ;ted-the monopoly still coutinues-the
do not 20 a mile faster in the bour-the dis
comforts Of trip to Philadelphia or bask
equally as great ever, and the fame Of a dirty
tallow esolle continues to be the only light pre-
y.dcd for the passengers.
BY the say, we have heard II minated that the
press OF NtN OTk, a. wei =. that OF New jersey,
has been es1 by the monoPslsts to keep silent re-
spceting tie eXtvrion and abuses practised in the
mana cment II this railroad. Can il be pose bl.
that the Dct.spapers Of this city can b. pur-
chased in tbb manner Can il he possible that
a few free Sockets to each. will induce the
journals Of Nav York TO bod their tor CUES,

In this estimate, however, il should be observed
that we do not profess state the capacity Of the
various houses, but indicate as nearly as possible,
from the attractions and other circumstances, the
common receipts Of the present season. The Astor
Place House will open with the French vaudeville
company, tonight, and perhaps, may swell the
aggregate considerably; while the strength Of all
the entertainments, for this evening, may increase
the receipts to sum not far from ten thousand dol
lars-some of the establishments named being
pable, ON extraordinary occasions, of holding Sc
veral hundred more persons than have been noticed
as usually visiting them. The Broadway Theatre
will accommodate, probably, sufficient to swell its
receipts to one thousand dollars; and the large
saloons at Niblos will permit as many as
three thousand to be present, as has re-
Gently been seem OF some of the halls de-
voted to public amusement, 1t may be said,
they are always full and present but little variation
in their receipts. Christy's Minstrels and Fellows
Alinstrels for instance, have regular tide of Gus
toners; and the same may be said Of Burton's and
of Brougham's establishments. Where there may
seem to appear discrepancy between the average
Of numbers and the average Of receipts, it is to be
explained by the mixed prices of admission, which
are very much affected by the character of the per-
formances. However, it is not necessary to be
more exact, our purpose being merely to show the
amount of money expended in public amuse
ments, and the number of persons who drawn
by them from dangerous idleness, and from the
small traps which are always set in large cities to
catch strangers and the youthful members Of
society. Probabya at least fifteen thousand persons
are every day and evening thus engaged in rational
amusement.
In another point of view, public amusements
must be regarded by the public economist as highly
useful to society. They singuarly promote the
great law of distribution, out of which springs all
the financial happiness of society. Tens Of thou
sands Of citizens directly profit by them, from
the proprietors of omnibuses and coaches and the
drivers Of them, to the holder Of real estate, who
obtains a large rent from the manager. A decent
dress being indispensable even at the humblest
amusement, the clothiers, tailors, dress-makers,
glovers hat-makers, bonnet makers all gain some
thing, while the managers distribute to thousands
Of printers, paper-lnakers, merchants, artists, per-
formers and their families, and so to boarding
house keepers and landlords; and then to grocers,
narket-men, and, indeed, to every class in the
community, the greater proportion of all the money
received from those, who promote their own happi-
ness Of temper, and we may add, cultivate their
own taste, by proper regard for public anuse-
mcnts.

ADJUSTMENTS IN THE MSrRoroLIs--In our ad-
vertising columns may be found from sixteen to
twenty places Of public amusement which invite tue
public to enjoy, at reasonable prices, the rational,
ana often elegant, entertainments which are onered
by the several managers. Sixteen of these places
are permanently open; and, occasionally as TOT
instance tomorrow night, other places are opcneu'
such as Castle Garden, Blocker street Hall, the
Tabernacle, Triplcr Hall, and the like. During
the last week, in making our tour through the nae
trorolis, We made some rough estimates q tue
numbers Of persons who visit these places, and OF
the average daily receipts Of the managers. They
may he elias sed as follows:-

Our wharfs and Water street present this
morning quite contrast to last week, every
thing thereabout being life and activity. There
is now a number of large class vessels discharg-
ing, and the great quantity of merchandise that
is being landed gives evidence that our mer-
chants contemplate doing heavy Fall business,
and arc already beginning to prepare for it.
Most conspicuous among the vessels appears the
Messrs. Dodge's splendid West India packet
bark, William Chase, landing her valuable cargo
of sugar, which will be sold at auction on Fri
day next.
The canal boat Oregon arrived here this
morning from Cumberland, having made the
round trip from Georgetown to Cumberland

respectfully to inquire Of you who is the humane,
eht0atrsc, and whoie-souted Anerican, who graces
and adozts the post of United States Consul at
the city of Havana? Many of your readers are
anxious for information in relation to this Gov
eminent scorthy. If he has not distinguished
himself, he has at least become notorious. He
has established for himself a character which
the writer never supposed any American ever
wished to attain. He can 'slook upon blood and
carnage with composure." He can witness the
slaughter of his heroic but misguided country
men, by the cowardly Spaniards, with equan-
unity II not with delight. There are some
who think this an unenviable attainment, but
the representative of the interests of the United
States IN the !" gem of the Antilles it would
seem, prides himself upon the possession of the
rare quality. Will you, gentlemen, let your
numerous patrons know who is the Consul of
the United States at Havana? What is his
name From what State of the Union was he
appointed? Who exerted their influence to pro-
cure his appointment? 1t is also desirable to
know what were the peculiar merits of the gem
tleman Was he distinguished for talents
learning, benevolence of heart, and enthusiastic
zeal, and large sacrifices in the Wing cause !?
Was he ever known to serve or benefit a mem
Der of the human family? The answer to these
questions will interest the public at this time /;
and from my knowledge OF your candor and
accustomed courtesy, | have no doubt that
you will favor your readers with any informa-
ton you may possess, touching the previous
history of our present able, dignihed, courteous,
humane, and self7sacrifcing Consul at Havana.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, 1851. Homo.
We would state in reply, that we are pre-
pared to give all the information sought; but
that, as the charges against the Consul are
denied in some of the public journals, we desire

The Baltimore correspondent of the National
Mteltgencer says in his letter Of yesterdays
date: 81 was conversing this morning with an
intelligent gentleman, well versed in the af-
fairs of Cuba and the condition of the citizens.
He looks upon the movements Of Lopez as
preposterous, and the next thing to madness.
However dsa8ected the Creoles may be, he is
persuaded they cW not go orer 10 so small and
insecure a party" 1t is therefore not perfectly
clear that the Creoles are in no wise disafected
and that their not joining Lopez will be in
proof of this fact.
