From our Regular New Ncrt csrrespondeut
Nav ioRx, July l, lss9.
This week, AS the winding up Of the year 5
labors preparatory TO a summer trip, our
educational institutions have been indulg ing
in what they they singularly denominate
Commandments iueus non iuoend,.
The two city colleges, Columbia and the
University, have turned out a few dozen
saplings, looking rather feebly girdcd for
the battle OF liie,' and the Parker and
Rutger Institutes and other Female Semi
naries OF less note have conferred degrees
upon much larger number Of incipicpt
young ladies. The most creditable literary
efforts Of the week were said 10 be essa rs b
certain young ladies Of the graduating class
at the Parker Institute.
We are having quite q successful series Of
promenade concerts in q public garden in
Fourteenth street, got up 10 the German
style. and just the thing for the intolerably
hot weather Of the early part OF the week,
which emptied all ordinary places Of amuse-
ment. The music was Instrumental; M
orchestra Of sixty performers, OF the best ia
the city the pieces were all classical, and
superbly executed. This rs the first attempt
OF the kind at an outdoor concert which
has been really successful in this city il is
better adapted to German tastes. but in this
excessively warm weather the starch NETS

moderately ceol location.
Business is very dull, as is usually the
week proceeding independence Day
Everybody who can beg or borrow morey
enough manages to get few miles ou, Of
the city 10 spend the Fourth Of July, 40
that. after oil. the city is about as quiet
place Us the country on that day. The ar,
rangemen,s Tor the Celebration here are "a.

out in the way Of fireworks and process
sons on the occasion OF the Atlantic Cable
don't recoilect what il wds about the Gu.
ble-but we celebrated anyway, and spent
our powder and our enthusiasm quite en-.
tirely. Burning of the top Of the Chy
Hall for cable that never did n thing in
the world not so much even as to hang tie
projectors Of it, must be considered rather a
slow joke.
But after the Fourth is iairly over, We
are looking for n grand rush Of business
with he South and West. II the expec,a-
tions Of the majority are met. We shall have
the most profitable Fall season New York
has ever enjoyed. This is ra,hr sanguine,
but based on good data--,he fine promise Of
the crops South and West, and the bare.
ness Of retailers shelves all over the coun-
try. No great fortunes have been made in
regular business the past year, and probably
few will be this fall an immense amount Of
business will be done, but the supply Of
goods is very large, and prices will be con-
siderably reduced.
We have new Chief Of Police, who is
expected TO DO wonders. Since DANIEL i.
TIEsASss election as Mayor, there has
been gradual Improvement in various De.
par'mea,s Of the city government, and il he
keeps on as heretofore, be bids fair 10 serve
a long term. His election and the resuI, Of
it, shows the advantage Of electing bust.
ness man 10 civil position in preference to
noisy politician who has nothing 10 win or
lose except the Office.
