The Fourth went Oh with the usual
defamation, and nearly as many killed and
wounded as in Q skirmish between the allied
and Austrian armies. 1t is Of course the
natural and inevitable consequence when
people who never come within range Of
deadly weapon any other day Of the year,
take brandy into their heads and powder
into their pockets, and with pistols and guns

The Fourth of July is generally looked
forward to by the merchants Of the city as
the last barrier in the way Of the Fall Cam
paigp. Southern dealers nearly always
come 10 tor goods as soon as the smoke and
efervescence Of the national holiday has
fairly cleared away. But business has not
commenced briskly this week. There has
been some little stir, but trade will be Ian.
guild until after the grand public sale OF
domestic manufactures which is advertised
to take place next week in Boston des-
perate attempt 10 galvanize Boston into
rival of New York in what is known as the
distributing trade: the selling of goods
by the piece or parcel TO retailers from all
parts Of the country.
The foreigners in the city ore all agog
about the bloody work now progressing on
the plains Of Italy. The news that kossurH
has started Tor Hungary, has set all the ex.

will soon join their leader, to whom they

had frequent occasion to feicitate them
selves on the premium of cosy places with
CRATES and blankets in them, where they
may sleep warm in a cold snap, while their
water friends were shivering and freezing.
We have had moderately warm days and
very cool or cold nights. Especially is this
weather unfavorabe TO the seaside watering
places. There does not seem to have been
any frost sufficient to ipjure the growing
things during the week, and the wheat crop
isguow generally considered secure, which
causes the hearts Of Western mer chants to
rejoice exceedingly.
!, We are having good fruit year, as was
sbrhaps to have been expected. Strawber-
r are plenty, cheap and good, but every
6pg else which has thus far come to mar
ket has been poor and dear. Cherries are
very insignificant We have had q few
beaches, Of poor quality, at high price.

excursions around the city, and all the popu
far places OF resort are well patronzed.
Noboken, Staten Island, Coney Island
Flushing, ETC., draw crowds, as usual.

runs from the foot of 42d street. and this
will probably be new Hoboken for the up
town people.
