Let him determine on the establishment Of
local post Offices in the several wards Of the
large cities, such as are established in all
foreign capitals. If he acts thus, he shall not
want our applause.
THE SUMNER or 1853 IN NEW YoRK-We are
now on the very eve of the most transcendently
brilliant era of fashion and amusement that this
metropolis of the American continent has ever
yet witnessed. The memories of all past seasons
will fade away-lose their lustre, and be utterly
obliterated in the splendor Of the coming one.
Fashion is about to forsake her ancient places in
the passes capitals Of Europe and to establish
her favored abode in this City Of the Knicker-
bockers. Here we are erecting a palace Of
crystal for her reception, where she will hold
her court for the next summer at least; and
about and around that fascinating spot will con-
gregate her devotees from every quarter Of this
wide land. Already the lesser marble and
brown stone palaces in the proximity Of this
favored locality have commenced to receive
their occupants. The neighborhood ofReservoir
Square-which, a year ago. was overspread with
wooden shanties, and where the pigs had free
and ample range-has now, at the nod of this
potent magician, fashion, been transformed into
congeries ofpalaces, and the lower portion of the
city, down from Union Square, has been denuded
of all residents of real arstocratic pretensions,
who could possibly manage to transfer their
penates within reasonable distance of the great
centre of attraction
Evidences of the splendor of the coming sea-
son are seen on all sides. The most costly and
beautiful equipages that any republican people
could desire to indulge in crowd, 'thick
as blackberries," in Broadway plush has sud-
denly risen into great demand, and private car
riages not having brace of gentlemen in live
ry would be now declared below the ton. Most
of the fashionable hotels full enough at present,
have all their apartments pre-engaged for the
summer. Almost every visiter arriving from
the South and West, has commissions to engage
rooms for parties who have resolved to come to
New York next season and the only danger is
that we will not be able to accommodate oil our
guests The country was never so prosperous,
money was never SO plenty, and people were
never so bent on enjoying themselves, since the
days of Noah. A little panic, now and again,
in Wall street, has only momentary effect-it
merely serves to give the fashionable and mo-
neyed classes short, necessary breathing time
and off they start again in the race OF enjoy
ment and extravaganza, with redoubled ardor.
The amusements Of New York for the next
will ho IL al.
the magnificent era we have feebly attempted
to foreshadow, and will he themselves, in fact.
the chief inducement to visiters. First, and
pre-eminent among the attractions, will be the
Crystal Palace, with all its treasures of art
collected from the four winds of heaven. Next
to it in attraction, and almost equalling it in
size, will be Franconi's great hippodrome, from
Paris. Then we will have two great opera
troupes-Alboni, with the Maretzek company,
Stefanone, Salvi, &C., and Madame Sontag, with
her great artistes. With these, Paul Julien's
series Of concerts will vie in the charm which
they will have for all lovers of music, such as
is rarely heard. Besides these are the dozen or
more theatres and concert halls of the metropo-
lis which will, as q matter Of course, use their
best exertions to attract. 1t would require too
much space to enumerate all the places Of
amusement; but we may mention, as occupying
the first rank, Burton's theatre and the Broad
way, Wallack's, and the Bowery. -Niblo's, ele-
CANT theatre we presume, will be engaged by
one Of the opera companies
With such combination of attraction as the
metropolis will present during the season on
which we are about to enter, we may calculate
on an immense influx Of visiters from all parts
of the Union Ladies whose husbands have
been for years promising to bring them to New
York, will now insist on the fulflment of this
promise, with a tour round the watering
places in the contract and few fashionable per-
sons will venture to absent themselves In
fact, it would be a negation Of all fashionable
pretensions for any American lady to acknow-
ledge that she had not been to New York in
the brilliant season of 1853. After that the
dehge!
THE WALL STREET PANIc-There was not SO
much excitement in the street to-day, but there
was great deal Of shining among bull stock
spectators. The money market is steadily
tightening, and we must expect up hill work
