Matters and Things in New York.
From our Regular New York Correspondent.
New YORK, Aug. 3, 1855
| That Providence which educes evil out of
good is making the ras.ality ofSchuylera good
thing for the country at large. For granting
that inferior rascals have been melted by his
example to forgeries, embezzlement and all de-
grees OF breach of trust, still the suspicion and
watchiulness induced by the shock of his fla
grant abuse of trust in our banking institutions
and other corporations have increased the safe
guard of the property they control to an extent
much more than compensating actual losses al
ready suffered.
An instance illustrating this is furnished by
the recent case of the Cashier of the Mechan-
les Bank of this city. Nothing appeared d.
rectly adverse to his business integrity. 1t
was only known that with small salary he
lived in the fine style of wealthy man and so
a committee was appointed to investigate all
his accounts, and although from present ind-
cations he will come out of the inquistion with
clean papers. the greater vigilance and therefore
greater safety of our Banks is fully shown
Some things about the case are yet in mystery
and it is rumorcd that he will attach blame to
other parties Meantime the resignation of
the post he has held for fifteen years is accept
ed. -.-.-
The rose-leaf sentimentals,s Of upper ten
dom who have aforetime in Castle Garden ad-
mired the beard of Kossuth if they could not
understand his eloquence, and fluttered scent
ed handkerchiefs in honor of Jenny Lind amid
bands of music and the glare of gas light
which foated in mingled waves Of light to
sound through the grim port holes and down
the moon lit waters of the Bay, are much hor-
ri6ed at the idea of converting the old Castle,
redolent of so many associations, into a recep-
ticle for the outcast humanity of other lands,
and many have been their protests sent into
the morning papers on the most delicate of
note paper, couched in terms of the most I'M
exceptionable English. But in this iron age
the practical elbows the ideal to the wall, the
genius of benifcence walking abroad with its
eye upon heaven is careless if it plant all oc-
casonal foot upon the viOlets of mawkish SEN
timent, and so Castle Garden was fairly nau-
gurated on Wednesday last as an emigrant de-
pot, and never has it been devoted to so noble
purpose.
You are doubtless advised of the sable cele
mr. fb, Lot
West Indias emancipation. The Sambos and
Dianahs were out generally in the most grot-
esque styles Of costume Melancholy music,
CLAIMS and Coco seasoned holly with Garrison
pepper sauce were the order of the day. Gar
rison doesn't want any union of the States. =
Even the North doesn't suit Garrison. Garr-
son cant even abide Seward, Wilson nor Sum-
ner. The church is too rotten for Garrison
The country whose polluted soil bears the saint
ed body of Garrison is one big blue topped ul
Ger ON this mundane sphere. Sodom at the
pitch of its rOttenness was fairer in the eyes of
Garrison and doubtless nothing but a proper
sense of what the country would lose in him
prevents Garrison from immediate fight to
the higher civilization of Turkey or Timbuc-
too.
But do not see that any Frorissah has duly
chronicled a passage of arms between two
nights on the eventful lst. 1t befel on the ro-
mantle grounds of Staten Island, and woman
dark and lovely woman was the incentive and
the prize. That the contest might be without
advantage to either belligerent the simple fore
es of nature alone were welded. Gracefully
backing off from each other as two rams may
be seen to do-bowing their sable crests, they
plunged nlady forward and met in full career.
Dire was the noise of quitting" Bnt the
cerebral shield of each was too dense to yield,
and chivalrously saluting each other with
mutual uprolling of the white of the eyes, they
withdrew to the extremity of the butts and met
again with equal valor, but not with equal fate,
for the treacherous soil yielding beneath the
foot of one he fell upon the earth, his failing
sight glimmering with thousand stars, while
the ebony Romeo who had overlooked the
strife from the top CT neighboring knoll
rushed forward with loud "yah, yah" and
chung to the neck of the conqueror with an
odoriferous embrace, aid was treated to ginger
bread and lemon soda. ~
