The term hotel came into our language from the French. The equivalents formerly used were inn and tavern. 'I'll() word Inn has a Saxon tierivation, which is said to have come from a Chaideac_orilebiow term signifying to abide, to pitch a tent: Tavern has tho same meaning In many languages—French, Latin, and Saxon—all denoting the place for a table. Then, given the table, cornea the purchased Ilqtior to place Upon it, and the houeo in which It is sold. Intel, as the French accentuate it, is simply a contraction or hostel, the abode ors' prince or, lord.. In England and in the United Stiteir, hotel is a house wherein people live, paying for bed and board. In France * , the term is applied not only to prliate residences—as Hotel Demidoff, Hotel Lambert, Intel do Rothschild, Intel de Itf. . Thl4rs—but to mere Offices of State, such as Hotel des Affaires Estrangeyes, (the Foreign Office), Hotel dee Archives, Intel des Minim- WU de l'lntereur, Intel dn,Tresident do Corpif:L6gielitlf, and so on. It hr,applied to an bpspital,...the Intel Dien j to the Mint— Intel des Miwknalosi to the abode of veteran soldiers--Intel dos Invalldes I to a receptacle for 'antiquarian, curiosities—the Intel de Gluey. In several instances, bat by no means so ;enormity ail In, England and America, French Inns alb called Hotels. Such, in Paris, are the h l stel du Louvre, said to be the neat in Europe; tho Hotel Maurice, and the Intel Wag ern, on the Rue de Riveli; the tel du Rhin/corner of the Place 'Vendome. aio.ooo.{oo 943410 'S,TBO,IIO The Hotel system of the United States dif fers fr'om the) , of England, and also from that of France: In this country, great attention is devoted to'elow and space. It has somehow come to luie recognised fact that the charac ter dart American hotel depends upon its rise. This Is not altogether an accurate test: for ,Our own ptrt, while - We acknowledge the splen dor and the conveniences of such vast houses as the Fifth Avenue and the St. Nicholas Ho tels, in New York, we own to having an old fashioned .preference for such establishments as tho Brothers Leland hay° made their Me tropolitan Hotel—where comfort 'does not :Ile In vastness," but where the guest may more easily make himself at home than in a palace. All through this country, with few excep tion:of-hotel-fife is uniform in its mode. The guest enters his name in a registry, on en trance, has his rooms allotted to him, and pays so much a day—the amount varying from one dollar, to three, but rarely rising above two dollars and a half in tho leading hotels of Phi ladelphia, New York, Boston, and, other prin cipal cities. Down South, we believe, the higher rate is paid, and is also demanded at some of the metering places.. Considering the general excellence of the table, the hoard, at the usual rates, is not charged too highly for. The - great number of guests makes it pay. Such viands as are at the wish of every guest, he could not procure, in a private house, for thrice the outlay. The guest who is moderate in eating, who generally-confines himself to ODD or two plain dishes, actually pays, on our system, for the epicure who par takes of five or six dishes at each meal, and spells mote than he eats. For example, a day or two before the close of last year, we dined at the Delavau Reuse, Albany, where an old gentleman and a boy of eight years old sat near Ile. The ,sintice• took soup and a portion of saddle oflenttoti, eschewing pastry and sweet abide.: The Junior wentin for soup, fish, We , !al entremsts, roast-turkey, roast-duck, hats, pees of two or three sorts, and wound up with CalteAriallY, popped corn, oda, apples, 404 - cr4tiltift. eptitted_the table, the bid gentleman observed-to 'us l ' Tout and I, Whetjfate eaten plain dinners, pay that young Sase,d; 6 eihet: 'Nes esteti mut spoiled food to the value of thrice the seventy-five cents which ho will pay for his meal." with this drawback, hotel life In Ameri ca is cheaper than in England. Take London, I • for instance. At the Clarendon, in Now Bond street; Hived's, in Brook street; Grillon's, In Albemarle street: the Burlington, in Cork street, which are dingy-looking houses, for the last part, and with lbrnlturs which has been gay, but blurred by the effects of Lon don smoke, the style of living whioli one ob tains in a first-class American hotel for two and a half dollars per diem cannot be there obtained for flee times that amount. We have known half a guinea charged, In the coffee-room at the Clarendon, for a beef-steak dinner, and this is more than what our great hotels charge for a day's living, including bed. Even this would not cover the cost, for the waiter would expect a fee, and almost insult you U you gave him less than half a dollar. At Morley's, in Trafalgar Place, and at Eon ton's in St. James' street, (houses much fre quented by Americans,) a decent bed-room costs about a dollar a day. The plainest break fast another dollar, with extra charge for every different article of food—beyond eggs and toast—which you consume. Dinner, on the same scale, a single dish, with vegetables, cost ing a dollar to a dollar and half. Tea, on the flame scale, plain broad-and-butter, and heavy charges for every extra. Even a slice of ham, at breakfast or tea, Is charged half a dollar. Gas is used in very few hotels in England, but 'twenty-five cents is charged for a spermaceti or composite candle, each night—and though not half an inch of It be burned down the first night, it is charged to you as a fresh candle each day it is used I Lastly, instead of the landlord paying his servants, ho inserts in his Mil a charge of about half-a-dollar a day, and we only wonder why he does not also ask his guests to make special and extra payments for rent, Insurance, and repairs. Of course, this tariff of expenditure is only for a bachelor. It trebles and quadruples for married folks. llotel-lifo in Paris Is essentially different-- IV is cheaper and more independent. You obtain a bed-room at the smaller hotels, at from one franc (twenty cents) to ono franc and a half. In the first-class hotels, such as Monrice's, on the Louvre, the bed-room is charged from three to ten francs each day. The nearer you ascend to Heaven, in a French hotel, the less are you to pay for your bed room. You have also to pay extra for soap, candle, and servlse (ten to twenty cent..), if you remain but a single day. The guest Is not obliged, as in England, to take his meals at his hotel. The first breakfast—which is simply a cup of capital coffee, with roll and butter—is usually taken nt the hotel, either in the coffee-room or in the guest's bed-room. About noon, the dljellner 0 la foutrhelle Is taken in Paris, and you may procure that meal, or dinner, wherever you please; that is, at the table d'lalte of your hotel, or at a restaurant. If you dine at the former place, or In your own room, the carte has the name and price of every article, and you cannot be cheated. The prices of meals in Paris aro certainly at least two-thirds cheaper than in London, and there is more variety of viands, with better cookery. Such a dinner as would coat five francs, at Velour's Very'e, Les Trots Freres Provengaux, all in the Palais Royal, and at the other fashionable restaurants in tho Boulevard des Italians, would cost twenty-five francs in a first-rate London hotel. No wonder that the Parisians, fond of good eating, dine very mach at tho restaurateurs. There are some curious legal points con nested with Parisian hotels. In ordinary cases, French innkeepers aro hold responsible for property brought into their houses by travellers, and for robberies committed by servants and strangers. ;oven if' the traveller leave the key in the lock of his door during the night, the landlord is liable for any loss he may sustain, French law holding that the guest has a right to count upon the same se curity as if he were in his own Louse. If the key be left la during the day time, the land lord Is not held liable, because that is held to be an act of imprudence. Innkeepers may detain the effects, except wearing apparel ao. eMOSTI S 2 tually in use, of non-paying lodgers, but can not touch the goods of a deceased or departed guest, but must obtain the authority of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance to sell a por tion of it, in order to satisfy their claims. French innkeepers think it legitimate to over charge you, if they can. Unless the guests be on their guard, the extras—which include a charge for attendance, called (‘ service," can dles, and soap—will be half as much as the room-rent. It is prudent, on starting, to as certain atd fix what such charges shall be. Tho system of paying higher prices for the better rooms is certainly a just one, and would give satisfaction in this country, if it could be adopted. In French hotels, when it is thought that the guest is •( in verdure clad," or it is seen that ho is in a hurry to depart, bills for rooms have been sent in, doubling the agreed price for 'rooms, by charging so much for the day and as much more for the night. At the hotels, too; if meals be paid for when taken, the opportunity of overcharge is taken away. At restaurants, where dinners are taken a /a carts, the traveller 'should see the bill of fare, with the price to each article, for he may otherwise bo overcharged, or the waiter will name to him only the most expensive dishes. These, as far as we recollect, are the princi 'pal points of difference between the hotel eye toms of America, Bngland, and France. We have thought that such information would be In seation;ndi thUt otrr Mende 6if Ittat favorite and well-conducted hotel, the Girard House, have recently refitted and entirely renovated their establishment, and now that the - Con tinental Hotel, so long In progress, is so near completion. It will be occupied by Mr. Pamn Stevens, the proprietor of the Fifth-avenue Hotel in Now York, and of the Tremont and Revere Houses in Boston—a gentleman of high character, liberal views, groat experience, and large capital. • An Idea prevails, we learn, that " the Con tinental is going to ruin all the other groat hotels." This opinion we do not hold. On the contrary, experience has shown in this city that the increase of first-class hotels tends to bring people into Philadelphia. When abundant and excellent hotel acoommodation Is provided,'guests increase. There aro nu merous families who would winter in the city if they bad the accommodation they require. There are very many merchants and dealers from the South and West who would not go on to New York if the hotels could receive them. We believe and hope that the Con tinental will no/ Ware the other large houses. The reader may now learn, from the follow ing account by onr own reporter, what the Continental is going to be—the largest and boat hotel in the world : TILE CONTINENTAL HOTEL We propose to give our renders, to-day, a description of the Continental Hotel, which hue been building for the past few month., and which it is suppoied will be opened for the nubile use on or about the 22d of Febru ary. The mind of establishing it was first formed toward the hitter part of the year 1858. It Ic owned by an incorporated company, which was organized In the early nert of the year tat!.; The organization wee ef fected by the appointment of a president. secretary, and a board of (Waking, consisting of Messrs. John Bone, James H. Orne. Joseph B. Myers, Daniel Had dock, and H. Coorperthwalt. The lent named gentlarr.n on religned, and wag replaced by Joseph R. 0,, Esq. Secretary and treasurer, J. Sergeant Price. The hotel, after a groat deal'of thought and delibera tion, wee named the" Continental." The buildine, ex clusive of the 'unto' in the basement, was leased to Pa ean Stevens, of Boston. for a term of twelve years, at it rent of SO 000 per annum. The building. six stories in height. exclusive of the basement, presents a front of 170 feet on Chestnut street, M 5 feet on Ninth street, and 194 feet on George street. The principal story on both Chestnut and Ninth street, home mostly occupied with stores, is of richly ornamented oast iron piers, excepting the principal en trance on Chestnut street. and the carriage and bag gage entrance on Ninth street, whieh , Weather with the entire Chestnut-street front above the principal Boor, is of Albert - and Fictou sandstone; the other fronts, of the finest selected pressed briek. are dressed with massive quoins, sill courses and window heads of clone similar to the principal front, and the whole mooned by a heavy roodillion course of cast iron, ex ceedingly chaste in outline and proportions. There are three spacious arches on Chestnut street, beneath a maulve atone portico of eight noble columns, with riohlp•carrrd capitals, by which entrance is bed to the interior. Through two of the arches. and &arose the vestibule, look the windows of the Gentlemen*. Reading and Writing Room. while the third, directly opposite the Grand Corridor. Mods Immediately to the Pxobange, separating the reading room from the Gen tlemen's Parlor, which, being twelve redivide, and ex tending bask the depth of the parlor sixty-eight feet, opens at once into the Exchange, which is seventy eight feet by fifty-four feet. and contains the public office, private business rooms, and two 'team-elevating ears. oonveyiag gnats and baggage to and from the upper floors. The registering counter and clerk's office, lighted from above, la planed directly °prorate the Ninth-street entrance, where all guests Infiring in carriages. with baggage, are expected to enter. Immediately adjoin ing this entrance and communicating with it, is the Ladies' entrance, en that 'gentlemen. with their fami lies. can enter together, the ladies 'proceeding up stairs to the Reception Room. while the gentlemen go at once to the Registry Desk. To the right of the Ninth-street entrance and neariy opposite the Public Office. is the Grand Staircase. 'This is of stone end self-supporting, broad and massive—a masterpiece of construction, and, to our taste, the finest thing in this truly grand building. The centre aught rises from two ornamental newels. clear of all support, in one graceful spring to a broad stone half-pace, and then return. to the second floor, in two side flights, supported in the walls. The wainscot ting of these is of polished Italian marble, over six feet on the half-pace. In the rear of the stairway. which is a magnificen t piece of workmanship, is the Barber-shop. Leaving the Exchange, the Chestnut-strut entrance is con tinued to the Saloon sixty-six by forty-seven feet. af fording entrance to the Wash-room, Cent-room. ter-eloute. Adjoining the Saloon is the Billiard room, fifty-five feet by forty-seven feet. Behind this, occupying several storiu in height, is the culinary department. including store-room for floor, milk, ice. etc., the Nikon', the meat and vegetable kitchen, and the confectionery, with all their attendant and multifa rious requirements. On the second door, fronting on George street, and immediately over the Saloon and Billiard-room. is the grand Dining-room, 50 test by 47 feet, decorated with scet Hole pilasters, the capitels of whieh are meet beautiful and appropriate, the minding feature being the Amencan eagle end shield, sur rounded by fruit and foliage. Aroundthe entire room is a highly polished base of Italian marble, projecting into pedestals for the talim tem. The fresco decorations in this room exhibit thorough knowledge of effect in color and drawing. The paintings of flowers, fruit and animals on the ceil ing of the dining-room are exceedingly artistic. CIDI*- cite the Grand Staircase Landing is the Tea room. 65 feet by 16 feet, and between this and Chestnut meet's a omits of private dialing-rooms. The Lad ea' Parlor is on the corner of Chestnut and Ninth street", connecting by sliding doors with the other public rooms on both streets. The private parlors on this and the upper floor. with communicating chambers, dressing and bath rooms, he., are replete with every convenience. The beating apparatus is very extensive and very complete. This apparatus comets of two looomottre tubular boilers, !mated on George street, right under the pavement. From these boilers proceed three mains—one to heat the building, one fur the steam en gine, pump, and laundry purposes, and one for the kitchen, where all the cookies, save baking and roast ing, will be dons by steam. There are about 00100 feet of steam tubing to warm the building. The central auios* office, the dining-room, bar-room, and bil-. liard-room are all warmed by flues, bringing the hot air up from chambers in the basement. These chambers are supplied with pure air from out of doors by a ten fret oast-Iron fan. In summer. the deem not being on the coils, the air thrown in by the fan camel In cold, thug thoroughly ventilating the building. The mond and third stories of the hotel are hotted by direct rub. Mlon, the coil" being handsomely screened by orna mental open iron work, covered with highly-polished white marble slabs. The upper halls beeome thoroughly heated by the warmed air rising up through the einem stairways and corridors. The Mores are all heated by toils ertis tioally 'greened as in the hotel, and drawing steam from the same boilers. The principal (satire of this heating apparatus consists in the boilers being set lower than the oode, which secures the return of all the condensed steam from the entire building, without the use of trans or pumps. The steam, by this arrangement, makes continuous eiroulation, with no wasting by blowing out of doom, all coming bank to the boilers again, and being reconverted into steam. The whole apparatus is so eon- Wind and fitted with valve' as to enable the engineer to control the heat of any one hall or room at pleasure. In the water department there is a duplex Dump. con sisting of two steam cylinders and two pump OY forcing water through a three-inch main to three tanks situated on the top of the building, to which the plumbers make their attachment to supply the house. The pump works without the slightest concussion or sound in the Pipes, and le the only kind of pump that does its work noiselessly. Lying on the lop of the steam Toilers Is • hot-water tank, constructed of boiler iron. four feet in diameter and twelve feet long. This tank receives all the exhaust steam from the steam pump and from the steam engine, which steam warms the water supplied to the wash room and to the bath rooms all over the build ing• In the laundry department there are three large wash ing machines, of the shaker patent, of eight, six. and four tubs reepeotivelY. Then there are two cen t ri f ugal water extractors for wringing clothes. revolving at a speed of KO revolutions per minute. There are about MOO square feet of steam-drying closet eurfaoe, the closets being supplied with cold air forced through coils by the fan, thus airing as well as drying the clothes. All thle machinery is driven by the steam engine, which is of the most approved and elegant construction. There are various boilers, wash rube, istarch kettles, Ati., all heated by steam. The whole laundry is tho roughly ventilated, to carry Mr the steam and raver, and the floor is paved and drained in such a way as to carry oil all the slope. This department, taken all in all, is nowhere equalled in this country, and not surpassed in the world. In the cooking department the apparatus comprise tea cast-iron stemnrjacketed vegetable boilers : ten double-copper settles for making coffee, tea, and soups; two very large ranges—one about 20 feet, and the other about 8 feet long ; two broiling firm for game steaks, Eco.; a large roasting Jack, the spit of which is driven by a little steam engine ; besides a number of minor matters not worth enumerating. These cooking arrange moats were, for he most part, constructed and put up TWO CENTS. after designs end patterns .forrushed by Mr. Stevens. whose groat expo rienee lathe culinary economy Ora ho tel gives him great eulvantige in making the eompletest prnvudon for all its necessities. There has aim been manufactured for this hotel a steam carving table twenty-one feet six inches long, and containing twenty three meat and gravy dishes.. on of which are warmed by steam. and kept as hot as though sitting on top pf a cooking range. There is also a smaller carving table of like construction, con taining eight dishes The whole is famished with lila nished copper platters and covers. This is a Very full description of a moat important portion of the internal economy of the lintel. - The entire work has been done with singular skill and taste, special care haying been taken tp secure the safe, smooth, and of operation of every part of it.

Mr. Wiley, "a supplement to an act ineorpore ting the Philadelphia and Olney R ai lroad Company, approved April 1, 1859." It permits that corpora tion to connect their road with any other road run ning north and south. in the city of Philadelphia, and they are empowered to occupy any street ne ceesary so to do; and the company is further not to be required to construct their road north of Fish er's lane. Also, by Mr Ridgway, a supplement to an act incorporating tho Fairmount Passenger Railn-ay Company, approved April 13, 1659. It gives that corporation power to lay down a track on Race, as far down as Third, and up Third to Callowhill, and out Oallowhill to Twenty-first street and Fair mount ; also, the privilege to lay a single track on Vine from Front to Second ; also, to oonstruet a track on Third street, extending from Vine to street, with the privilege of placing such curves as may be necessary at any point on the company's route; also, to extend their treok northerly along the easterly side of Fairmount to Pennsylvania avenue or Coates street, thence to Fairmouut Park by Landing avenue, by the Girard Park; also, t he privilege to OHMS a mortgage equal to its espi al stock, bearing 7 per cent. interest This acme tompany obtained possession of Arch street last winter, and it appears that It now wants a little legislation that may enable it to occupy all the streets now unoccupied by railways in the city of Philadelphia. It is possible that this corporation has no soul, but no one will deny that it has un- bounded stomach for swallowing up vacant streets. Mr. O'Neill reported, from the Committee of Ways and Means, this morning, the resolution paying back to the Manufaciturers' end Mechanize' Dank of Philadelphia about $O,OOO, which It had paid to the btate es • consideration for granting the charter. The best reason thet an be urged against this resolution is this: When the bank asked for an increase of its capital stock, amount ing to three hundred thousand dollars, it did not make any such claim, but accepted the art, agree ing to pay a bonus of throe per cent. on that amount. The over payment of bonus, made in 1838, was an after-thought. This is the view taken by the Au ditor General, and Übe did not keep an Argus eye on the treasury, the Legislature would soon deplete it, until the "balance' would grow "small by de grees t I t ' o regulate the weighing of coal in the city of Philadelphia." It requires that all retailers mast go before en alderman in their ward and take an oath to give full weight, and hots to give such person a certificate of taking the oath, to be placed so as to he open for inspection by customers. A person selling coal by retail. without complying with this law, is to be guilty of a misdemeanor, to be punished as the court may direct. Ron. John L.
