Dear Phillips: —l left Philadelphia ou Friday (yosterday,) afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and at 7 found myself in the Astor llouse, Now York; Passengers take a steam ferry boat at the foot of Walnut Bt, Phila., and-are carried across the Delaware river in a few minutes, to Camden, N. J., where the cars of the Camden and Amhoy Railroad arc ready to convey them through the cedar groves and peach fields to Amboy, from which place the steamer John Potter runs as a regular packet to New York. This is a delight ful route to travel, and it enables a “stranger in a strango loud,” like myself, to have a fino vioi? of the country between the two great cities of the New World. The state of New Jersey is “as level as a barn floor," without any objects of interest to attract the attention. The only towns of any notoriety we passed through after leaving Cam den, were Burlington nnd Bordentown. From Amboy to New York city, the steamer passes by a number of noted places, where pleasure-seek ers frequent daring the Bummer season, such as Coney Island, Staten Island, Sandy Hook, &c., &c. In “ coming np the bay,” (I hope neighbor Biddle’s telegraphic despatches now come punc tually to hand,) I-had a delightfol view of the I ocean, “ deeply, darkly, beautifully blue," —a | liquid mirror upholding the sky! After tea lost mghtl visited Barnum’e great Mu seum, opposite the Astor House, which may be considered the tenth wonder of the world. Of course I will not, in a briefletter, filled with a few short paragraphs, attempt to give a descrip tion of so extensive a “cariosity shop.” Among j the things that attracted my attention especially were two paintings from Herculaneum, and the j grand state carriage of Queen Adelaido of Eng land, with the gorgeous livery of hor coachman I and footman. I From tie Museum, T visited tie press room of the New York Sun, v?hici is a subterranean apartment, some 30 feet under tie pavement. The great press on which this paper is worked was throwing off sheets at the rate of seventeen thousand copies per hour Tho type or formß are imposed npon a largo oylinder, which re volves and strikes against eight small cylinders, at each one of which an impression is made; - This is the only press of the kind in the world, . and was mannfactared by Richard Hoe of this city,.at a cost of $20,000. A good deal of money that to invest in a machine to print a penny paper! The New York Ilcrold, Phila delphia Ledger, and opo or two other papers aso presses of a simitar manufacture, bat they have only fourimpression cylinders. I presume there will be no necessity for some years to come, for i nsto”use a press similar to that npon which the I Son is printed! This morning, the first place I visited was the v extensive and well-known publishing and print-; ing establishment of Messrs. Harper & Brothers. After delivering my letters of introduction, 11 ■: was received with the wtmoßt cordiality, and af ter half as hour’s agreeable conversation, was taken through every apartment of that wonder ful establishment. Their old office on Cliff street being entirely inadequate to transact their offensive and rapidly increasing business. This enterprising firm recently purchased a large amount of property on Pearl street, immediate ly adjacent to their former premises. To give you sorfib idea of the extent of this mammoth printing office, I may state that twenty Adams (presses and two cylinder or Nnpier pressea ore kept constantly in use, which average each . 6000 impressions per day. These presses are driven by a 26 horse power engine. Besides an immense number of compositors and Btereoty- pers, the Harpers employ some tiro or three . hundred girls to dry, fold, and stitch the print ed Bheets, -whose wageß average ¥4,50 per week. They look" cleanly, healthy and contented. In fact, evety person about the immense establish ment appears to bo cheerful and industrious. The foremen in every apartment were taughtby their employers, and were promoted os their merits and qualifications, deserved. Between employers and employed, the very best feelings - exists, os should always be the case in such on establishment In addition to their-extensive publication of boohs, the Harpers issue a monthly Maga : xine, which is the best publication of the hind in the world, in proof of which I may state thefact that-ithas already, during ; the -brief period of its existence, attained a circulation of 80,000 copies. . - • After having'spentalf :the time I could iu Harpers’ great printing -office, I concluded to - .’.visit, the New York and. Liverpool steamships “Atlantio” and “ Arctic.” I jumped into one of the many hundred omnibusses which are con stantly running up and down Broadway;- and in a few minutes I was in Oanal street, at the’foot of which the steamers havo their landing. ' Mri : Coleman, of-the Astor House, having provided me,'very politely, with a ticket of introduction to the Captain of the Atlantic, I had no difficnl tyin gaining admission into thatfloating ocean 1 palate.. . apt G. Briggs, thirpolite and efficient 1 superintendent of the Collins line of steamers ’ conducted mo through every-part of the Atlan tic,aod explained minutely nil the workings of her powerful machinery, ’This eteamcr is fin ishcd.nhd famished in the most expensive and -gorgeous style. Her cabins and state rooms 'surpass anythlng-I ever, beheld about a steam vessel. Sbe’will go to about ten days. , I dined to-day at-8J o’clock, the fashionable, hour, at the big Hew Tfork hotels, andJn the af ternoon, 1“ company withan old friend who Is also stopping at the Astor House, I visited the ’Battery, Castle -Garden, ’ the shipping onJEnsf rifliiyj'&S-) &e.,>nd returned back by the way of Wall street abont dusk. The Battery is a de> lightfaliilttcefor promenading, especlaily in the summer season, when tie sweet sea breekea fan tie browSsSTiwharbor is perfectly lined-with. all sorts and orireHgagedin trading widt cvelyppri inll|o vfqrld.irljwAntbff board the newiclippet.

Bat Broadway is the great avenue of New York, whereat! ialifejbußtle, gaiety, ‘‘.noise and confusion.’.’.--The pavements are constantly lined with the beauty nnd the chivalry of Gotham. This day being warm and pleasant, Broadway was asceneofextraordinary activity ; indeed it Was with'mnfcb* difficulty that I managed topusb along through the crowd At any moment during the day. v twenty omni busses could .bo .counted within a single square, all loaded with passengers! In -fact;-it-is next to impossible to cross the street, so rapidly and constantly do these.carriages ofthe people dash through the great- thoroughfare. ■ But my sheet is fall, and the town clock strikes twelve,..so l must retiro fir the night. Thus endeth the first lesson on hfo in Now fork. Good-bye, L. H. <ltear Phillips —As it is-too stormy to-night to go out to church,l shall employ an hour inwrit iog a letter for the renders of tho Post. This morning, feeling somewhat piously inolined, I concluded to visit Trinity CbUrcb, about a square below tho Astor Houeo, on Broadway. This, I believo, is the largest and most magnificent churah in tho city, and is built throughout of stone, injure Gotbiostylo. As it is a free church, strangers oomlng to tho city, especially Episco palians, usually go there, not so much for the purpose of hearing eloquent sermons as to gaze tnpon its wondrous architecture, and listen to the sweet mnsic of its powerful organ. About half an hour before the services-began, the bells commenced chiming, and to a stranger’s cars the sounds are peculiarly solemn. A largenum ber of bells of various sizes are arranged in tho steeple m such an admirablomanner that a tune can be played with the utmoßt accuracy. Con trary to my expectations in entering the church, I fonnd about one-half of the pews vacant; in deed, the church is seldom crowded; and in fact, I should judge from the appearance of the streets to-day that New York is not overstocked with godliness. Trinity- Church Congregation is per hnps the wealthiest in tho world. The extent of their wealth is not precisely known ; but they own an immense amount of real estate and stocks, —have built a great number, of ohurohes through out the country, and have sent abroad hosts of missionaries to preach the gospel to the hoathen. Tho property of tho Congregation was in lltigar tion for many years; but the tronblesomeparties were bought off at high prices, and tho titles have become fixed anil certain. The cost of the great Gothio church was $850,000; and the im mense organ alone cost $12,000. There are 8 oiergymen employed to officiate. The leading one (who seldom shows himself within its mnr ky watts) receives a salary of $5,000 per annum. TheQther two, who are generally on dnty, re ceive each $1,500 per annmn. The music costa $2,000 a year—the chiming of tho bells alone is performed at an expense of $3OO t The vocal music is made entirely by boys, who have been trained with extraordinary care. The fait tones of the great organ, assisted bythechoir, send a thrill to the heart. The beautiful canticle commencing, “ O nil ye Works of the Lord, bless ye the liord ; praise him and magnify him for ever,” —was performed in a style only to bo sur passed by the angels around the throne of tho Almighty. Tho sormon was only tolerably good, and the reading of the services was worse. So much for holy matters. Perhaps, a short description of the Astor House will be interesting to onr readers. This great hotel, whioh is situated on Broadway, im mediately in front of the Park, was oreeted in 1836 by the late John Jacob Astor, and is now owned by his son Wm. B. Astor. ft is built en. tirely of Quinoy granite, in s remarkably massive style, simple and chaste, and mokes a beautifgl appearance from the Park. It is five stories high; with a front of 201} feet on . Broadway, 164 on Barclay street, and 146} on Vescy street. Its height is 77 feet, and it contains upwards of 800 rooms. _ The dining room is 108 by 42 feet; and the entire cost of the building, ineluding the ground, was abont $750,000. Besides 'being nehly furnished, there nre some $15,000 worth of magnificent oil paintings and engravings sus pended around the walls of the parlors. The proprietors, Messrs. Coleman & Btetson, have established for themselves a world-wide reputa tion as polite, efficient and popular landlords. They spare no pains to moke their numerous guests feel comfortable and contented. Stran gers who visit Now York for the first time, will always find these gent lamen ready to give them every information and assistance they could rea sonably expect. L. H. ESL. On the arrival of Kossuth at St. Louis several persons wore robbed, and a general light took place between a company of soldiers, and a posseof dragoons. A gentleman-from the Missouri river was rob bed of s£oo by a pick-pocket, and an attempt was mode to rob a passenger on the Cornelia.— He, however, was too quick for the chap, and knocked him down by a well directed blow.— The fellow lost bis bat in the melee, which the gentleman retained os a trophy. , It appears that the progress of the patriotic Hungarion west, has afforded a fine field for the light fingered gentry to obtain material aid. Tub Mohmojts,— Letters from California state that great excitement exists am ong the Mormons at the Great Salt Lake. The difficulties between that people and our government agents have mode them resolve upon defending themselves against farther Interference with their affairs on the part of the .general government. .Report, {whiohi after all, may bo without foundation,) says that additional fortifications are being erect ed» and means of defence provided. White Vests.— The Just fashionable ukase from Europe prohibits' the uso of white waist coats. It says, they ore only fit fpr ballet sing ers and showmen.

Astob House, New York, 1 Sunday Evening, dfarcA 14, 1852. j Our Whig cotcmporaries-atfevjii a most' lamentable condilion on the'Presidential ques .tion. They (lon’bhpow .go-to'eave themselves. When they were’jErst'pipfeed on tha question, one of. the jrivaljMgans, for thn pur pose of evading the srilgeit' that the- KoSsutE schnte. The siyal journal, as 'in 'duty bound, tho opposite-direction, and the intermediate medium of whiggpry remained quiet. It was generally supposed for a while that some one of-the threo Whig- editors in Fitts. -bnrgh .would--expreHS .an opinion in favor of some man competent to discharge the duties of the office of President. But 1 this rumor created -the'greatest consternation among them; and they -allcame.9at:anddeclared themselves m favor of -Scott, a man who knows nothing about it. Wc believe the Gazette was tho first to mako this declaration, but since it has ascertained that Scott ia not Kossuth, and that Fillmore pap is more pa* ! latable than Scott soup, it bos come to the conclu sion that it.was somewhat “hasty ’in givingm i its adhesion to fuss and feathers. Consequent ly, it now backs water, and don't appear to know that any body will be nominated for the Presidency, except the Democratic candidate. It is at the proscot time busily engaged in defining tho different predileotions in tho Dcmocratio par ty, and making very funny commente on-its own conclusions. Such a conclusion could not bo well avoided, for the Gazette has always been a very funny paper, aud its conclusions nro al ways incentives to mirthfulncss. It made a mistake, however, in declaring it- Bclf for Scott and Kossuth, especially be fore it bad ascertained whether the former was in favor of the latter. Io this he made a great error, and bac lost the lead. The cunning Journal held back, until it could ascertain the temperature of Scott’s pulse on the Kossuth matter, and when it discovered that it was as cool and calm as ita own feelings, it took the Scott fever at once, and became enthusiastic This did not please the Gazette. Tho “belli* cose’ thought that the “ non-resistant” was cut ting into its “raw,” and in a notice of the Journal a committal for Scott, it gave it somo compliments “over the left, which were of course proporly appreciated. But. shortly after these unfortunate committals, news came from head quarters, that the illustrious Accidency would be m the field, and a most extraordinary fluttering took, place among the “organs, ’ and from that date until the present time they have been as mute as sucking doves, and have never said soup once. The Journal has turned its attention to Euro* peon politics, and the Gazette has taken to in vestigate in a very funny manner the chances of the Democratic aspirants. It writes article* 44 a porposo ’ on the stfbject, with all tho intelli gence of a person who does not know what he be is writing about, and after getting through with bis last article, the editor says, “We are glad of it.” We have not tho slightest doubt but that ho was glad of it, for he must have endured great pain in the travail necossary to bring forth such wiso thoughts, and we are very certain that if any of his subscribers read his article they will bo “glad of D,” when they gbt v to the conclusion. In the present contest, we believe that tbo Journal is quiescent. It knows which side of its “ bread is buttered/’ and it/editor waits as calm and cool as the breezes of a summer morning, to catch the wind that will fill his sails and leave his coadjutor water logged. But the Gazette will not stand this kind of treatment: It wants the Journal to como out at once, and say whether it is in favor of Scott or Fillmore. Of course the Journal will not answer; but as journalists, it is oar duty to notioe the matter. The Gazette will “ drop ” this question ns it did the Tariff question n few days since, and !ea?o its neigh- bor a fair field for executive patronage. The following communication comes to as from a reliable source, and having full confi dence in the universal democracy of the editor of tho Courier , and being informed that it is bis desire it should appear in print, we give it an insertion. This is a subject that we think our correspondent should not have opened up. We have known the editor of the Courier for the last twenty years, and although our kn owledge of German is in nowise classical, we know enough of it to understand him as a true democrat,— There are few men in Pittsburgh who have strug gled more earnestly for tho Kiokel and Kossuth cause than the gentleman whom our correspond ent acoases of being unfriendly to the cause of We know that he is en thusiastically devoted to the spread of republican principles in Europe, and it is not probable that Be would place a stumbling block in their way here-—the only continent where pare re* > publlcanism can exist, and the only safe asylum that affojyjs protection to those who flee from the persecution and tyrannies of the old and rottctffdynasties of Europe. Our frfeftd of the Courier has found such an asylum, and we are confident that he appreciates its beoifioient .ad vantages too highly to make himself obnoxious to tbo census of a German Democrat. Messrs Editors: —ln speaking with my ger man Democrats, I have found them to be very indifferent about the political affairs of the pres ent and coming events of the United States. 1 inquired further into the cause of this indiffer ence and found that the German “Conner” the bo called democratio organ of the German De mocracy, ti rather leaning to the other side of the house, at least be acts in snoh an indifferent manner upon the principles and doings of the democratic party, that he has not yot published or even mentioned the proceedings of the demo cratic convention, and in looking over his paper one is inclined to beliove that he is with regard to the democratic party, a strong Whig. A Ghruas Deuooeat. Driss of Children* The editor of the Prairie Farmer makes the following sensible remarks on the present ju venile fashion: M Is there good reason why the dress of children shonld be contrived so as to leave naked the arms, shoulders, and the upper port of the chest ? Fashion has done this and to the serious injf jjury of the child. Now, as there is no gopd reason for this, there are serious ones against it “It is natural to suppose on leaving these parts uncovered, it is at onoe to be seen makes one uaoomfortable: an experiment on yourself would at once convinoo you. If yon doubt, try it. Leave your armß, shoulders and upper part of the chest exposed to the variations of tem perature daring the working of any one day; ana on trial you will be compelled to say tbe covering of those parts is most agreeable.— Now have compassion on your children to far nisli them with similar protection against ttye vicissitudes of weather. J “ The, objections on the score of comfort arc not tho greatest ones. Tbo mode of dress is de trimental to health. The stato of the lungs and other internal organs greatly depend on tho state of the skin, and is in no way so disordered, than by any cause which interrupts the duo process of insensible perspiration. In tropical countries the fashion might be tolerated with impunity, bat'in these northern and western states and ter ritories, where the temperature of the atmosphere varies* and at times suddenly—from fifteen to thii rty degrees in ten hoars—it should he consid ered entirely wrong and out of plaoo. If sach as hare arrived at years of discretion will hazard their litres by observing and conforming to fash ion, the worst is their own ; but do not impose this kind of penance on young ohildren, for it is wrong—is inexcusable. 1 ’ CoNTBIBUTIOH 0?

Mr§wtu. E. Stevens then offered the following prartmble and resolutions, prefacing them with a fow appropriate remarks, whiab were road and unanimously adopted. BESOLUTIORS. Whereas, Various schemes are now before Congress to vote away to sevoral,-Btj&te§ vast tracts of Pnblic Land, to be then given to Hail Road Corporations, which, if .^d opted most in evitably result in most ruinous consequences by laying foundations for gigantic land monopolies, by stmuringJa those to whom Buch grants are made, the,mos\ eligible land upon the great thoroughfare of travel, and which, by virtue of their position mu>fcfonn the sites for future farms, villages anA cities, thus giving them pow er to extort from Ape pioneer settler, or force him back to otlftf and less desirable regions, therefore: - Resolved, That, while the parties to these monopoly schemes are laboring with most un i tiriog industry to accomplish their object, we , ask the friends of freedom, here and elsewhere, to take prompt and immediate action in refer ence to this important question ; and that we solicit citizens of other sections of the country to 00-operate with us to check this system of profuse squandering of the people's land for the benebt of corporations, which will build up iu the most fertile regions, pf the Wept immense monopolies, that for years to come, must over shadow the prosperity, and control to a very peat extent/ the destinies of the different fUcies* in which they are located. Resolved, That we regard the freedom of the Public Lands in limited quantities to actual set tlers, as a wise and patriotic measure, dictated by sound policy and a just regard for tho pros perity of the people; that we view such a dis» position of the Public Domain as calculated to secure independence to the settler, remove ma ny causes which lead to vice and pauperism, while it will add much to tho real wealth of the nation, and put on end to that rapacious system of speculation in the Publio Lands whioh exerts bo destructive an influence on a large portion of our population. Resolved, That we have observed with pleasure the efforts of members of Congress, and Editors of publio journals, in behalf of the great doc trine of the Freedom of the Public Lands to set. tiers, and their consistent and untiring opposi tion to the immense frauds whioh interested parties have endeavored to fasten upon the peo ple ; we trust their efforts will meet with a hear ty response from the mass of tho population, and result in the speedy triumph of the ares for which they have so generously con* tended. Mr. P. R. Sawyer, being called upon, respond ed in an address replete with argument and in formation? dwelling at length upon the impolitic course of Congress and State • Legislatures in gracing charters and corporate privileges to the few at the expense of the many. On motipn; Rtiolvttj, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the city papers. On motion—adjonrned. RICHARD SAVORY, Chairman, W. P. Russeu, Ip , Q.L. Lkvake, A Dream Realized. Sometime during the past summir, a stranger stopped at one of the watering placea on the mountain south of Waynesboro', Pa.'i- After his arrival there he was taken sick, and for several days was apparently deranged. On bis recovery ho informed the proprietor of the house that dur ing his illness he had dreamed for three nights m succession that ho had discovered, at a certain distance in the mountains under a rook, an earth on crock, containing a large amonnt of silver. At this the worthy lord expressed bis surprise, and spoke of it as a mysterious dream. After wards, however, they wero walking together in that direction, when the dream was again ad verted to by the stranger, and the proprietor st once proposed an examination, to satisfy their curiosity. She rock was soon found, and after carefully brasbing the leaves away, it was mov ed, and to their nttcr amazement; there sat a crook fall At,silver. They took it oot and con veyed it secretly to the bouse, and on examina tion it was found to contain $4OO, (all in half dollars,) which was divided equally between them. Thedayafter this discovery, the stranger was abont to take his leave of the mountain, and complained to his friend,- the proprietor of the springs, of the inconvenience of carrying the silver, when en exchange was proposed and made;’ the stranger receiving bankable paper for his sil ver. It whs not long after his departure, how* ever; till, the proprietor bad made another dis covery—his fopr hundred dollars in silver were counterfeit, and hn had thus been ingeniously swindled out of two hundred dollars. - * jr t IP- , From the Louimlle T 4»oal„ » ' i ANBEXS< ('--?* T 'X'i& '| * Trih shttaowy forms afa H j inihealrarottnd*is.spread, * ~ >v* j-.v? -Aod cartel ijielr hSloWd nrcgefice, ? ; -.vv.i i Their ttTtreyesarcilndly-glistening »...v fegoldaiLpdam; *• ■' w 4. it*i° e .MlidtfWmtgenliy i Heavenly roses on oar dream. / Richest reins of thought they bnng no From their fair and distant home, Though they often make us sadder We are belter when they come.
