FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1860,
Hoteli•; , ;At Homo and Abroad.
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.

'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

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

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

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

high character, liberal views, groat experience,
and large capital. •
An Idea prevails, we learn, that " the Con

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

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

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

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

Molars. Cornelius & Baker, wbo have made the
gas- fixtures for both legislative chambers at Washing

It is estimated that they will hava supplied ten thou
sand burners to the Continental. The appropnatenees
of their adaptation of material shows meet teats. The
hall on the g rst or grand floor contains eleven five
burner chandeliers,; the saloon has two eight-burner
chandeliers and ten three-light brackets t the gen

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
