Letter from New York.
TO the Editor Of the Collaboration.

New York, May Is, 1860.
The weather We cannot complain of. for
while we hear Goleiul accounts of the want
of rain in other parts of our country, VT are
blessed with sutiiciencv of that desirable
article We could take more and not suffer
but all the numerous gardens about the city
! and in its vicinity are in a very good conGi-
tlOE.
Business in the city is all tina. could he
expected in the present condition Of the
country. We all look to tie great West to
afford US the means of doing great and
prosperous business. Let them stop specu-
latins and raise good crops for two or three
years and all will be right. One business
fourishes at present in this great city beyond
all others; mean the newspaper business.
!, 1t is harvest for the rewsboys. No doubt
the circulation of the dailics Of this city will
be nearly doubled in consequence if the ex-
citing topics which ag tate the city and coun-
try, and which from this time to the next
Presidential election will Stir the people from
the highest to TIE lowest.
The usual anniversaries of the various re-
liglous and benevolent societies have Just
closed. The interest which the public usl-
ally take in these gatherings has not been SO
manifest this year as on former occasions
Whether this arises from the excitement nat
urally attendant upon three or four CONVEX
tons to nominate candidates for the Prcsi-
dency and the grand mill" between Ueenan
and Savers. or whether there is a real dim
mutton in the confidence which the people
have hitherto reposed in these societies, it is
not easy to say. The American New York
Tract Society repeated its usual programme
of choking off all discussion Of and exani;ia-
ton into its policy. The Rev. Mr.. Wo!co,t
Of Chicago offered some resolutions express
i've of the pleasure it would afford the society
If the Publishing Committee would publish
some tract indicating its Gi>approbarion of
the African slave trade SO fearful were the
pro-slaverv controllers Of the society of any
action upon these resolutions. or any discus.
sion of their merits. that upon the motion Of
