WrKr-Thi Connecticut River Hartford New Haven To New York, Leaving Boston on the afternoon of Saturday, the fifth of February, we proceeded by nnotoer railroad to Worcester, a pretty New Lnglan 1 town, where we had arranged to remain under the hospitable roof of the Governor of the State until Monday morning. These towns and cities of New Eneland (many of which would be Tillages In Old Kngland) are as favorable specimens of rural America as their people are ol rural Americans. Tho well tnmined lawns and the green meadows of homo are not there: and the grass, compared with our ornamental ploU and pasture), is rank and rouph and wild; but delicate slopes of laud, gently swelling hills, wooded valleys, and slender streams, abound. Kvcry Utile colouy of houses has Its church ana school-boue peeping trom among the white rool's aud shady trees; every house is the whitest of tho white; evey Venetiau blind the greeuest of the green; every fine day's sky the bluest of the blue. A sharp dry wind and a slight iiost had . so hardened the roads when we alighted at Worcester, that their furrowed tracks werelike ridges of granite. There was tho usual aspect of newness on overy object, of course. . Ail the buildings lookedjas If they had been built and painted that morning, and could be taken down on Monday with very little trou ble. In the keen evening air every sharp out line looked a hundred times sharper than ever. The clean card-board colonnades bad no more jerppective than a Chinese bridge on a tea cup, and appeared equally well calculated for use. The razor-like edges of the detached cottages seemed to cut the very wind as It whistled against then), and to send it smarting on Us way with a shriller cry than before. Those slightly built wooden dwellings behind which the sua was setting with a brilliant lustre could be so looked through and through, that the idea of any inhabitant being able to hide himselt from the public gaze, or to have any secrets from the public eye, was not entertainable for a moment, liven where a blazing fire shone through the uncurtained windows of some distant house, it bad the air of being newly lighted, and of lack ing warmth; aud, instead of awakening thoughts of a snug chamber, bright with J'accs that first saw the light round that same hearth, and xnddy with warm hangings, it came upon one suggestive of the smell of new moitar and damp walls. So I thought at least that evening. Next morn ing when tbe sun was shining brightly, and the clear church-bells were ringing, aud sedate people in their best clothes enlivened the path way near at hand, and dotted the distant thread of road, there was a pleasant Sabbath poacel'ulucss on everything, which it was good to feel. It would have been tbe better for an. old church; better still for some old graves; but as it was. a wholesome repose and tranquillity pervaded the scene, which, after tbe restless ocean and tho hurried city, bad a doubly grateful Influence on the spirits. We went on next nrornlng, still by railroad, to Ppringfleld. From that place to Hartford, Whither we were bound, is a distance of only five-and-twenty miles, but at that time of the year the roads were so bad that the journey would probably have occupied ten or twelve hours. Fortunately, however, the winter hav ing been unusually mild, the Connecticut river was "open," or. in other words, not frozen. The captain of a small steamboat was going to make his first trip for the season that day (the second February trip, I believe, within the memory of man), and only waited for us to go on board. " Accordingly we went on board, with as little delay as might be. He was as good as his word, and started directly. It certainly was not called a small steamboat Without reason. I omitted to ask the question, but I should think it must have been of about hull a pony power. Mr. Paap, the celebrated dwarf, might have lived and died happily in the cabin, which was fitted with comniou sash wiudows like an ordinary dwelling-house. These windows had bright red curtains, too, hung on Black strings across tho lower panes; bo tbat it looked like the parlor of a Lilliputian public-house, which had got afloat in a flood or some other water accident, aud was drifting nobody knew where." But even in this chamber there was a rocking-chair. It would be impos sible to pet on anywhere, in America, without a rocking chair. I am afraid to tell how many feet short this enselwas, or how many feet narrow; to apply the words length and width to such measure ment would be a contradiction in terms. But I may state that we all kept the mi Idle of the deck, lest the boat might unexpectedly tip over; and that the machinery, by some surprising process of condensation, worked between it and the keel; the whole forming a warm sandwich, about three feet thick. It rained all day at I once thought it never did rain anywhere but in tbe Highlands of Scotland. The river was lull of flouting block of ice, which were constantly cruuching and cracking under us; and the depth ot water, . in the course we. took to avoid tbe larger masses, carried down the middle of the river by the current, did not exceed a few inches. Nevertheless, we moved onward dexterously; and, being well wrapped up, bade donance to tho weather, and enjojed the journey. Tbe Connecticut river is a firje stream, and the banks in summer time re, Itaave. no doubt, bcautilul; at all events I was told so by a young lady in the cabin; and She should be a judge ot beauty. If the possession of a quality Include the appreciation of it, for a more beautttul creature I never looked upon. After two hour, ami a half of this odd travel ling (including a stoppage at a small town, where we were saluted by a gun coniiderably bigger than our own chimney), wo reached Hartford, : and straightway re,irc7to an ex tremely comfortable hotel, except, as usual m the article of bedrooms, which, in almost ev'orv place we visited, were very conducive to early rising. J We tarried here four day. The town Is beau tifully sitnated in a basin of green bilU; the soil is ric h, V II wooded, and carefully iuiprovud. It is the seat of the local Legislature of Con- necticut, which sage body euueted, in bygone times, the renowned code of "Blue Laws," in virtue whereof, among other enlightened pro visions, any citizen wbo could be proved to have kissed his wife on Sunday was punishable, I be lieve, with the stocks. Too much of the old Puritan spirit exists in these pHrts to the present hour; but its influence has not tended, that I know, to make the people less hard iu their bar gains, or more equal in their dealings. As I never heard of its working that eUVct anywhere Ise, I inter tbat tt never will here. Indeed, I am accustomed, with reference to great profes sions aud severe faces, to judge of the goods of the other world pretty much as I judge of the foods of thl; and whenever I see a dealer in such commodities with too treat a display of them ia his window, I doubt the quality ol the Article within. ti1 Hertford stands the famous oak in which ths charter of Kins; Charles was hidden. Il is tw tfisleted. in a emtlcnaa' tardea, la the THE DAILl EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2C, 1867. Stnto Houpe Is the charter itself. I found the conrts of law here Just the same as at Boston; the public institutions almost as pood. The Insane Asvlam is admirably conducted, aud so Is the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. I very much questioned within -Riyself, as I walked through the Insane Asylum, whether I should have known the atten dants from tbe patients, but ior the lew words which passed between the former and the Doctor, in reference to the persons uml r their charee. Ol courne I limit this re maik merely to tbeir looks; lor the conversation ol the mad people wan road enough. Thcte was one little prim old lady, of very eniiltng and (rood-humored sppearaucc, who came sidling up to me from the end of a long paHeiige, and, with a courtesy of inexpressible romlcsei nion, propounded this unaccountable inquiry "Does Pontcfrnct still flouriKh, sir, upon the soil of England?'' "He doe?, nia'aib." I rejoined. "When you lust saw him, sir, he was1' "W II, ma'am," said I, "extremely well. He begged me to present his compliments. I never saw him looking better." At this the old lady was very mtich. delighted. After glancing at tne for a moment, as if to be quite cure that I was serious in my recpectlul air, she sidled back some pace. Hilled forward again, made a sudden fkip tat which I precipitately retreated a step or two); nnd said: "I am an antediluvian, sir." I thought ihr; best thing to say was, that I had suspected as much from the iirst. There fore I said to. "It Is an extremely proud and pleasant thing, sir, to bo au an'odiluvian," said tho old lady. "I should think it was, ma'am," I rejoined. The old lady kissed her hand, gave an other skip, smirked and sidled dowu the gallery in a most extraordinary manner, and ambled gracefully into her own bedchamber. In another part of the building there was a male patient iu bed, very much flushed and heated. "Well !" said he, starting up and pulling off his nightcap; "It's all settled at last. I have arranged it with Queen Victoria." "Arranrcd what?"' nuked the Doctor. "Why, that business," passing his hand wearily across his forehead, "about tho siege of New otk." "Oh 1" said I, like a man suddenly enlight ened. For ho looked at me for an answer. "Yes. Every house without a signal will bo fired upon by the British troops. No harm will be done to the others. No harm at all. Those that want to be saved must hoist flags. That's all they'll have to do. They must hoist flasis." Eveu while ho was speaking he seemed, I thought, to have some faint idea that his talk was incoherent. Directly he had said those worde, he lay dowu again nnd gavo a kind of groan, and covered his hot Load with the blankets. There was another, a young man whoso mad ness was love and music. Alter playing on tho accordeon a march he had composed, ho'was very anxious that I should walk into his cham ber, which I immediately did. By way of being very knowing, and humoring him to the top of his bent, I went to the win dow, which commanded a beautiful prospect, and remarked, with au address upon which! greatly plumed myself: "What a delicious country you have about these lodgings of yours." "Poll !" said he, moving his fingers carelessly over the notes of his instrument: "well for such an institution as thist" I dou't think I was ever so taken aback In all my life. "I come here just for a whim," he said coolly. "That's all." 3 "Oh! Thut'sallPsaidl. "Yes. That's all. The Doctor's a smart man. He quite enters into it. It's a joke of mine. I like it tor a time. You needn't mention it, but I think I shall go out next Tuesday I" . I assured him that I would consider our inter view perlectly confidential, and reloined the Doctor. As wo were passing through a gallery on our way out, a well-dressed lady, of quiet and composed manners, came up, and, proffer ing a slip of paper and a pen, begged that I would oblige her with an autograph,. I com plied, and we parted. "I think I remember having had a few In terviews like that with ladies out of doors. I hope she ts not mad ?" yes.7' "On wlat sublect? Autographs?" "No. She hears voices in the air." 'Well 1" thought I, "it would be well if we could shut up a few false prophets of these later times, who have professed to do the same; and I should like to try the expentuent on a Mor monist or two to begin with.". In this place there is the best jail for untried offenders in. the world. There is also a very well-ordered State prison, arranged upon the same plan as that at Bobton, except that here there Is always a "sentry on the wall with a loaded gun. It contained at that time about l two hundred nrlsoners. A spot was shown me In the sleeping-ward wher a watchman was murdered some years since in the dead of night, in a desperate attempt to escape made by a prisoner who had broken from his cell. A woman, too, was pointed out to me, who, tor the murder of her husband, had tii en a close prisoner lor sixteen years. "Do you think," I asked of my eonductor, "lhat. alter so verv lone an Imprisonment, she has any thought or hope of ever regaining her uoeriy v "Oh dear, yeB," he answered. "To be sure she has." "he has no chance of obtaining it, I sup pose?" " 'Well, I don't know;" which, by-the by, is a national answer. "Her friends mistrust her." ' What have they to do with it V I naturally Inquired. "Well, they won't petition." "But if they did, they couldn't get her out, I suppose?" "Well, not tho first time, perhaps, nor yet tho second; but tiring and wearying for a lew years might do it." "Does that ever do it ?" "Why, yes, that'll do it sometimes. Political friends 'II do it sometimes. It's protty often doi.e, oue way or another." I shall alwavs entertain a verv nleasant and grateful recollection of Hartford. It is a lovely place, and 1 had many friends there whom I can never remember with indifference. We left it with no little regret on the evening of Friday, the 11th. and travelled that nhfut bv railroad to New Haven. Upon the way the guard aud I were formally introduced to each other (as we usually were on such occasions), and exchanged a variety of small talk. We reached Now Haven at about eight o'clock, after a Journey of three hours, aud put up ior the night at the best inn. New Haven, known ulso as the Citv of Elms. is a tine town. Many of its streets (as its alias sutliciently Imports) are planted with rows of grand old elm trees; and the same natural orna ments surround Yale College, an establishment ol considerable eminence and reputation. The various departments of this institution are erected In a kind of 'park or common in the mioiiio or the town, wnere mey are aimiy visible among the shudowing trees. The effect is very like that of an old cathe dral yard in England, and when their branches are In lull leaf, must be extremely picturesque. Even in the winter time, these groups, ot well-grown trees, ciusteriug among the busy streets und houses ot a thriving city, nave a very quaint appearance, seeming to bilng about a kind of compromise between town and country, tt.8 f each had met the other half-way, and bUHken hands upon it, which is .at once novel and pleasant. . a BieU'8 rest we rose early, and in , u?Je ""own to the wharf, and on Thu ...

I could hardly persuade wjself. indeed but tbat the bathlur establlbumsul off Westmiu. ster Bridge, which 1 ,,U lt, w Sud denly grown to an enormous nUe, run awar from home, and set up in foreign parts si a steamer. Being in America, too, which our vagabonds do so particularly favor, it seeiaed the more probable, liie great uUkrcnce 1a appearance pttwcia thcfe packets and ours Is that there U to much of ihem out of the water, the main-deck being enclosed on all sides, and filled with casks and poods, like any second or third floor In a stack of warehouses, and the promenade or hurrlrane deck being atop of that again. A part of the machinery is always above this deck, where the connecting-rod, iu a strong and lofty frame, is seen working away like an iron top-sawyer. There is seldom any mast or tackle; nothing aloft but two tall black chimneys. The man atthe helm is shut up in a little house in the forepart of the boat (the wheel being connected with tho rudder by iron chains working the whole length of the deck), and the passengers, unless the weather be very fine Indeed, usually congregate below. Directly they have lelt the wharr, all the life, and stir, and bustle of a packet cease. You wonder for a long time bow she goes on, for there seems to be nobody in charge of her; and when another ot these dull machines comes splashing by, you feci quite indignant with it as a sullen, cumbrous, ungraceful, unshiplike leviathan, quite forgetting that the vessel you are on board of is Its very counterpart. There is always a cleik's office on the lower deck, where jou pay your fare; a ladies' cabin, baggage, and stowage rooms, engiieers' room, and in short, a great variety of perplexities, which render the discovery of the gentlemen's cabin a matter of some difficulty. It often occu pies the whole length of the boat (as it did in this case), and has three or four tiers of berths in each tide. When I first descended Into the cabin of the New York, it looked, in my unaccustomed eyes, about as long as the Burlington Arcade. . The Sound which has to be crossed on this passage is not always a very sate or pleasant navigation, and has been the scene ot some unfortunate accidents. It was a wet morning, and very misty, and we soon loet sight of land. The day was calm, how ever, ajjd brightened towards noon. After exhausting (with good help from a friend) tho larder aud the stock ot bottled beer, I lay down to sleep, being very much tired with the fatigues of yesterday. But 1 awoke irom my jap in time to hurry up and see Hell Gate, the Hog's Back, the Frying Pan, and other notorious localities attractive to all readers'of famous "Diedrleh Knickerbocker's History." We were now in a narrow channel, with sloping banks on either side besprinkled with splendid villas, and made refreshing to the sight by turf and trees. Soon we Bbot in quick succession past a light-house, a mad-house (how the lunatics flung np their caps and roared in sympathy with the headloLg engine and the driving tidel), a jail, and other buildings, and to emerged into a noble bay, whoee waters sparkled in the now cloudless sunshine, like Nature's eyes tnrned up to Heaveil ZE&SS3EIiniC33 WtttL&t$Zl Then there lay stretched out before us to the right coulu6ed heaps of buildings, with here aud there a spire or steeple looking down npon the herd below; and here and there again a cloud ol lazy smoke ; and in the foreground a forest of ships' masts, cheery with flapping sails and waving flags. Crossing irom among them to the opposite shore were steam ferry-boats, laden with people, coaches, horses, wagons, baskets, boxes: crossed and recrosscd by other ferry-boats; all travelling to and fro, and never idle. Stately among these restless insects were two or three large ships, moving with slow majestic pace, as creatures of a prouder kind, disdainful of their puny journeys, and making for the broad sea. Beyond were shining heights, and Islands in tho glancing river, and a distance scarcely less blue and bright than the sky it seemed to meet. The city's hum and buzz, tho clinking of cap Hans, the ringing of bells, tho barking of dogs, the clattering of wheels, tingled in the listening ear. All of which ltfo and stir, coming across the stirring water, caught new life and anima tion from its free companionship; and sympathiz ing with its buoyant spirits, glistened as it seemed, in sport upon Its surface, aud hemmed the vessel round, and plashed the water high about her sides, and, floating her gallantly into the dock, flew off again to welcome other comers and speed before them to the busy port.
