MANHATTIANA.--No. III.
New YoRK, July 2, 1856,

! nv DEAR NJ The month OF June, with its
| thousands of roses and strawberries, its walks
by moonlight, and its many varied flowers, has
rolled by rapidly AMI left US in the middle of .
cheated term" as Philosopher Merriam would
callit. The thermometer during the previous
three days has reached the hundredth mark in the
shade.
| Our city istherefore deserted by all who would
| call themselves gfashonable," and 5th Avenue
presents an array of unoccupied houses and rusty
door, plates. At ssSaratoga" and at Newport,
you will find our bellies and beaux, the former
delighting in the "German,' the latter endeavor-
ing to s.kil time,' at tenpins and all other such
amusements. e
| Your correspondent was much amused the
other evening at perceiviny how some persons
succeed in keeping up appearances. Passing
down West -th street, he was charmed and as
it were, riveted by the music of an organ, to a
lamp-post opposite a fine mansion, whose
closed blinds, and uncleaned steps, seemed to say
Gall out of town." Imagine his surprise then,
while delaying there after the s'musican" had de-
| parted, to perceive the owner and his lady sneak
out in most cautious manner and enjoy an eve-
ming walk. Next morning he called and was told
| by a domestic, ''all gone to Newport"
| nearer inspection the next evening, served to
convince him that the family were at home, but
by living in the back portion Of the house, they
managed to make the world believe they had
really .sleft town.'' ~ aai io 0Y
Among the incidents of the past month, has
been the sale at auction of the first cargo of
goods brought from Japan, under the existing
treaty. They consisted of boxes, tables, and
canes, as we'll as many other articles, curously
and neatly made. The prices were large enough
to warrant some more of the same sort. Among
other things was an idol, worshipped by these
singular people, which the captain. unable to
purchase from them, had stolen. 4oe
Since last wrote you, politics have assumed a
more decided shape. The custom house officers
| and post-masters have nominated Buchanan,
while the Republicans and George Law Know
Nothinss have had the audacity, in the eyes Of
their, opponents to name Col. Fremont. That
the latter gentleman was the strongest that could
have been chosen, no one have any doubt
of. and tho excitement and enthusiasm with
which bis nomination has been everywhere re-
| ceived, plainly tells the story. We remember
when Harrison and Clay were nominated, the
feelings Of the masses were aroused to the
highest point, and now our people arc in the
same happy condition. We will make no pre-
| dictions as to the future, but when the smoke Of
the first gun shall have cleared away and gives
Us a clear view of the field, we shall give our
opinions. l. enclose you the ''Fremont Song,"
which is being snng everywhere at present -
