The September Term Of the Law Courts.
During the past six weeks, season generally sup
posed to be the summer vacation amongst lawyers,
there has been no business transacted except the
occasional record Of decision in special term or an
unexpected habeas corpus before some Judge at
chambers. This day being the first Monday in the
month. the September term will nominally COM
mence, though no trial calendars will be issued ex.
cept that for the Common Pleas, and perhaps the
Circuit Of the Supreme Court on the second Mon.
day. There win be but one branch Of the Common
Pleas held this term, and the Judge at chambers
win sit in the room formerly occupied by the old
Assistant Aldermen, and now appropriately refitted
win be on the same lobby Of the City Hail. and con.
venient to each other. Mr.. Jarvis, the Clerk, has
had the department previously known as Judges
chambers, admirably fitted mp for the performance
Of the duties Of his Office. On the trial calendar of
the Common Pleas are the suit Of Mr.. Edwin For.
rest, the celebrated tragedian, against Mr.. Mp.
Willis, for libel, which was tried before-but the
jury did not agree and the celebrated Walker
divorce case which, after three weeks investigation,
had similar termination.
The general, special and trial torms OF the Supe-
rior Court will not commence until the first Monday
In October, which viii afford sufficient time for the
completion Of the new court rooms and clerks

By this, it win be seen that the millers, besides
receiving their regular tariff for grinding, are
making one dollar and sixtytwo cents on every five
bushels Of wheat they purchase, which win show
to some extent the cause Of the present high prses
Of -four The price Of wheat is thus entirely regu-
lated and controlled by that Of four while the far
mers, who begin to look into and understand the
movement, contend that the cost Of wheat should
govern the price Of -four, at least to the extent Of
supplying the neighboring markets. They have,
accordingly, determined to take their wheat to the
mills, pay the required toll, get it ground and dis.
pose Of the -four themselves and for their trouble
In finding market, they win pocket at least one
dollar and sixty.two cents on every FIVE bushels Of
wheat disposed Of in that way, over and above the
market price Of one dollar and twenty-five cents per
bushel.
This will force the millers either to put -four on
the market at greatly reduced prices, in order to
undersell the farmers, or to pay an advance per
bushel on wheat. The former proceeding win proba-
bly, be their safest operation, and slight fall in
-four from this cause, which may extend even to
this market, may be anticipated.

ANOTHER DETACHMENT FOR KANsAs.-We are

The Common Council.

The Board Of Aldermen win hold the frat meeting
Of the September session this evening. Several
important pspers from the Comptroller, the Rey-
nolds contract and the matter Of rebuilding the LAM
courts, are expected to come before them for action
during their sittings in the present month. There
are q great many specimens of marble, verde
and white, before the committees, each
having it's advocate for its appropriateness
for the new building. "There are six Rich

five are "slain," 80 that the selection made l. for

and will continue to sit every other night until the
latter part Of the month, when the September ses-
SION win be ended. A great deal Of business may,
therefore, be expected after 30 much ideness. Tha
extension Of Albany street through Trinity church

For full six months the question whether or not
religious matters should give way to those Of q
worldly nature, has been the subject Of much debate

portion Of the members Of this body are willing "a

Az we have said heretofore there is Q disposition
among the majority Of this Board to defeat the pro-

the friends Of the majority and minority upon It
viii be very hard fought one indeed.
As nearly all the members Of the Board have
been rusticstng for the good Of their health at the
various Watering places in the vicinity Of New York,
and a. large number Of them-including those
who are prone to keep fast horses-have been, on
the invitation Of the Len Marble Quarry Company

THE WEATHER-The weather is the pa
ramount topic now. The sky all day Saturday
was heavily overcast with clouds and smoke
a thick smoke, waited down, perhaps, from the
fires which have been for weeks past consuming
the woods to the north and east of US. Never
was there more promising appearance of a
heavy Worcester with an abundance of fresh
water. Butt was mirage. 1t began to clear
away under northeast wind at nightfall, and
on Sunday morning the armament looked as
dry and unpromising as that Of Zahara. What
with the returning showers in the East, the
tornadoes in the West, and the storms at the
South, we had imagined this region to be in
vested by decentralization Of outpouring
clouds from which there was no escape. But
instead Of refreshing rain, through the whole
Sabbath we were revisited by one of the hottest
days Of July. With the thermometer, however,
at sc degrees in the shade on the Sd of Sep
TENDER, there must be thunder and lightning
somewhere, and close at hand. Oh let it come.

Here we have q total of over four millions
Ofdollars, but the statistics, with few excep-
tons, are obtained from the books of the as
SCISSORS, who generally appraise real estate at
one-half its actual value. Making allowance,
therefore, for this reduction, we will find the
amount Of capital invested in the principal hotel
property to be over eight millions of dollars,
and if to this we add the cost Of furniture, DC,
it will swell the sum total to ten millions.
The following table presents at glance the
value Of hotel property Of all kinds, including
many buildings which are not named in the

This is not all, however; for there are two
or three more in contemplation which viii
equal, if they do not surpass in extent
and magnifcence any one of those in ope
ration at present. 1t is the intention, we
understand, of Mr.. Mormot, of the New York
Hotel, to erect gigantic structure on the
cite Of the Hippodrome. The building is to
be constructed of marble, and will cost, when
completed, upwards Of q million of dollars
This is only one of several which are to be
built to meet the increasing demands, so
that, in the course of the next twenty years,
we should not be surprised to see the present
number doubled.

characterize the management Of the whole
establishment After registering his name he
is conducted to his room or rooms, and all his
wants are supplied with a promptness unsur-
passed even by that which attends the COM
mands Of a king.
Exclusive Of the large boarding houses,
which are very numerous, there are about fifty
hotels, some Of which are capable Of accommo-
dating from four to eight hundred persons.
The expense Of supporting one Of these estab-
lishments is enormous, when we consider the
consumption Of provisions of all kinds, and the
large number Of cooks, walters, and other at
tendants who are employed in it. OF beef
alone, about FIVE hundred thousand pounds are
consumed annually; Of lamb and mutton, four
thousand head; Of veal, one hundred AMI
fifty head; Of poultry and game, one hundred
and seventy-one thousand head; twenty thou
sand dollars worth Of fruit and vegetable; and of
wines, Of different kinds, about eighty thousand
bottles. To meet the outlay on these items
there are half million of dollars received
from the boarders. These figures are not to be
considered as applying to all the hotels emu
merated in the table given below, the majority
Of which are not capable of accommodating
one fourth the number of guests entertained
by the larger hotels. A fair estimate of the
aggregate receipts exhibits total of seven
millions Of dollars per year; while the whole
