New YoRK, Sept l, 1851.
The first of September is an important day
in New York, it being the commencement of
the oyster eating season, and, beyond that,
fashionable people may be found at home with
out danger to their reputation. 1t is, in reality,
the commencement of a new season, and marked
change takes place in the entire aspect of city life
after the letter finds itself restored to the name
of the month The world has come to an end at
the watering places, the last grand ball has taken
place at Newport and the steamboats, and steam
cara are daily bringing back the thousands who's
deserted US during June and July. The European
steamships are all coming home crowded to over
flowing, while the t-going carry but very few
passengers. The Baltic, on Saturday, carried out
but sixty five while the Atlantic this morning has
brought back double that number Among the
passengers by the Atlantic Mad. Anna Thl.
lon, the vocalist, and Mr.. Hudson, the comedian.
who have over to give concerts together
Madame Thillon is an English woman, born in Cal
cutta, and is said TO be an exceedingly fine singer,
as well lively actress Mr.. Hudson has been
here before, and ia well known for his admirable
impersonaton of Irish characters. He is man of
good education, and was once barrister, but from
lack of briefs took to the stage, and has had better
success than at the bar. Mrs. Warner, tragic
actress, was also passenger by the Atlantic. The
Atlantic has fallen into contempt, and is called
a SLOW coach; it takes her eleven days to come
from Liverpool But then, if she 10 slow, she is
mill alN1 he itp with
travellers.
The news by the Atlantic is considered rather
favorable, commercially considered, and its effect
upon the markets has been decidedly beneficial.
Confidence begins to be restored in Wall street,
and speculation in fancy stocks ID once more rife.
On Thursday Erie Railroad stock sold at 49,, on
Friday at rs, on Saturday at IT, and this morning
at 80, with decidedly upward tendency See
what fortunes must have been lost and won by the
operators in that one stock alone the past three
days; ten days since it sold at 6S; on the first of
May it sold at 81; probably it will be selling as
high that again fortnight hence. This road is
earning ten thousand dollars day, and
it's business constantly increasing. There is no.
thing to prevent it from being the safest and most
profitable railroad stock in the world; yet such are
the ways of Wall street. SO little do the merits OF
any stock company influence its current value,
that this regularly paying dividend stock goes up
and down, within the compass of few weeks, TWEEN
ty per cent. Other stocks have fuctuated and ad
vanced during the past week, but none like the
Erie.
The Cuba excitement has bad its allotted nine
days, and is now dying away; the Sun newspaper
keeps up it's blaze of startling announcements, not
one in twenty which proves true, and the Chatham
Theatre announces play in which Cuban nde-
pendence is dramatically ashieved-a very be-
coming place for it. Indeed, the whole movement
of the llbustero affair." but for the sad tragedy
nected with it, appears more like coup de theatre,
than actual transaction in which earnest men
were engaged and suffered. Mr.. W, one of the
writer's of the Courier and Enquirer, has gone out
to the Havana to pick up facts for that paper in
reference to the Lopez expedition. But, before his
reports reach US, imagine that the interest now
felt in Cuba will be nearly gone, and the whole
affair will be like twicc-t told tale.
Mr. Raymond's paper, understand will be pub
lshed in fortnight, his business arrangements
being nearly completed; his literary assistant is
to be Mr. Mitchell, better known as TX Marvel, |
author Of the Lorgnctte, and other books which
have been good deal talked about and largely |
sold He once foreign correspondent of the
Courier and Enquirer; he has never been known as
politician, but is understood to be Wing. 1t 10
to be penny paper. The Verdict the new even
ing paper which | alluded to short time since,
will make its appearance in about ten days, and
will give its support, politically, to the Union eide
of the Wing party.
In referring to the statement published in of
our daily papers, respecting the newspaper statis-
tics of the census, short time since, certainly
had no intention of rejecting the Census Bureau;
my only motive was to show the little reliance that
could be placed upon such statements when not
officially announced, and to correct any erroneous
ideas that might have been formed from such a
very incorrect account Of the actual force of eur
city press.
The fugitive slave Bolden, after long, fair, and
impartial trial, in which nothing was left undone
to procure his freedom, has been this morning de-
livered to the agent of his claimant. AS there ap-
pears to be no chance of his purchase being con-
summated, he will be taken back to South Caro-
lima at once. The only incident OF novel charac-
ter about this attempt to prove, by
physiologst and phrenologist, that he could not
be the descendant of African parents. But the
evidence of his having been the property of his
claimant was too strong and direct to be set aside
by testimony OF that nature. There excite
ment nor crowds, no unusual demonstrations nor
attempts illegal resistance attending the affair;
but the whole examination, which was rigid, was
conducted with the same calmness, order, and con-
formity TO law that attend any ordinary legal in
vestigation. Let what feeling may exist here to
the law ITSELF there is we'll considered determina-
ton among all respectable classes to quietly acqui
esce in it's execution while it remains the law, as
every case that has occurred under it, except the
first, sufficiently proves. S. X. S.
