SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1863 DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA, Special Correspondence of The Press. FORTRESS MONROE, June ii, 18fra The various steamboats and ~tugs, which are con-. stantly skimming back and forth through Hatiipton - Bomb, remind a Philadelphian of his liffhse upon the banks of the Delaware. New York, with usual self-complacency, takes the credit of floating on American waters the best and fadtest side-wheel steamers, but they are Strangely silent as to proPel lere. I hardly think they would doubt the superi ority of Philadelphia to that peculiar sort of motive power. Nearly all the beautiful, jauhty, little tugs, which dash like swallows over the waters around Fortress Monroe, and in the Elizabeth river, came from the Delaware. Every one looks withwonder and admiration on them, as with laborious breath they steadily carry by their side vessels of enor mous size. The officers on board the English litigates confess they, never saw one on the Thames, and that they were astonished whee, for the that time, they beheld one of the lit tle Titans, in the harbor at. Havana, with the name of the Philadelphia cbuilder, in gilt letters, upon the stern, All are under the supervision and command of one Man, Captain Ainsworth, They work- harmoniously, and accomplish wonders. In, fair weather and foul you will see the imperturba ble, good.natured Captain 'on the wharf, listening with a grave face to the wants of some petulant pistol, who wears his new-born honors gaudily on his shoulders, Or ordering some tug to convey a drunken officer to his ship. Captain Harrington, of the E. A. Souder, has a_ peculiar:tenderness for his native city, Philadelphia, although, to use his own worthe.he,"i has been tugging' it all his life. ti These men are hale and brown, too outspoken for. good policy, yet, withal, of great but quiet value. The name of the Great Dismal Swamp ideas . &- feeling of ill-defined dread and horror in the breasts of those who have become acquainted with its soft and slimy labyrinths only through the refractory medium of romance. It is impossible to conceive of any one but a black, herculean, enthusiastic Dred who could exist amid the noxious miasmas, of the Great Dismal Swamp. They believe a man who attempts to live beneath the shade of these upas-like trees is sure as destiny of certain death. Yet this Great Dismal Swamp is actually healthy—is occu pied by our soldiers, and is pronounced salubrious by our surgeons. The Yi7th Pennsylvania regiment went there with almost two hundred on the sick list, and now they have scarcely two dozen. This is mira culous, when we consider how they have to contend against frogs, snakes, lizzards, and Wood-ticks, The Salt Sulphur Springs of Magnolia were a favorite resort of the creme de la creme .of Virginia and North Carolina; yet this — beautiful water ing place is almost upon the margin of what I would call the northwest lobe of the swamp, on the road leading from Suffolk to Portsmouth. Juniper water alone can be found in the depth of this waste. It is of a light claret color, and very wholesome. A few days ago two companies of infantry, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Brady, of the 177th - pennsylvania Regiment, went on a barge through Dismal-Swamp canal, in quest of guerillas. At one place they found a Union man in great distress about a large amount of corn he had on hand, and which the guerillas would not allow him to remove within our lines. The visit of our boys proved very opportune. They captured two schooners laden with corn, which they brought to Norfolk with them. Another expedition started to day for corn, which is supposed , to be in the neighborhood of Hickory Grounds, about twenty-fivemiles south of Norfolk. Every day something is captured; the rebels are harassed, and even now are disgusted with their egregious folly. The flag-of-truce steamer State of 'Maine, Captain John Mulford commandiag, departed for City Point this morning, with three hundred rebel prisoners and eleven civilians. .. General Dix and staff have returned from their excursion up the York river.. The Army of Vie ginia have long peen inactive, whether on account of there being no enemies to encounter, or-the usual disparity of numbers, I cannot tell. Better weather could not be for hostilities and whenever the;people demaed active operations on the pertinsuia, it may be deemed prudent to insthgurate different proceed- Again we have rumors from Suffolk. Two pick ets were reported shot last night, about ftve miles from that place, and the, two brigades of infantry, &e., are still coming., It was ourrently rumored some time ago, that Suffolk was to be evaouated, , but there is as yet no'foundation for the presuarg tion. ARMY' -OF TUE POTOMAC. Another Reconnoissance across the Rapp*-: barriraellisoleuee , of the Guerillas, -fCoireeponderice - of the New. York Tribal:Le:l -- - , gnu Y - OF TH POTOMAC, Wednesday, Jufie..lo; 1863;—The Rappahannock was again crowd byde tabbinents from - the Ist, 3d, and OthlCoips;:early . yesterday morning, near Rellyqs Witt ~ without ttlejOßFuorkas-aTuir..........b... --- Lri.. l .-.. 3.l.nthr seemed entirely taken by surprise, and sb silently , were our men embarked, that their picket of . - six cavalrymen did not discover our designs Until the canvas boats had reached the middle of - the stream. We were then ordered by the rebels -to which injunction our men seemed to consider "a very good joke, replying, good-naturedly, that - they were bound to cross, telling the rebel picket to " dry up," "simmer down," &c. Three shots were then fired at the boats, neither of which took effect, and several of our men answered the salute, killing one man, who was immediately, carried off by his comrades, who beat a hasty - retreat' as our boats neared'the shore. Two boat loads were landed, and immediately commenced reconnoitring on the other side, but found no rebels. The first to cross in the boate - were pdrtions of the 4th Michigan,`6ist New York, and sth Maine Regiments. The remainder of our forces, in all- perhaps a division, afterward forded the river. The manner of crossing is worthy of particular at tention, as this was the firat practical experiment ever made in the army with canvas boats. The can- VAS boats differ from the ordinary pontoon in being a framework simply, over which heavy canvas is laatened, and through which water "cannot penetrate. One boat carries twenty men, and is easily managed by a few oarsmen. Lieutenant Farrell, of the 16th .New York, with a detach ment of twenty-five men, and two 'wagons, on. which the framework of the boats was transported, left camp at eight o'clock, on Sunday night, reaching the vicinity,of the ford on Monday . , at ten o'clock A.

It was that GoVernment should avail itself of anyy, means to obtain the aid of emancipated slaves in' the South in the present war. He was only under ;embarrassment how. to carry. the policy out. -Re =confessed to a.. partial failure in the endeavors :which had been made to . recruit colored soldiers both North and South He said hiteriogatively, "You ask a suitable com moner' for Gen. :Fremont'?

The committee was' dismissed with assurances that the President would consider the subject. Mr. Chase, during the entire, interview, said nothing. Mr. Sumner, wbo was also present,' was enthusiastic, and declared the brightest page in history would' be written by that mants hand who would undertake' this thing. 'At another interview, the-President told the committee that if they had the entire ten thousand troops they promised raised, he would give' Gen: Fremont a department that very morning. Col. WlTtassy. In the Tribune we find an interesting sketch of the audacious career of this adventurer and swind ler, recently sentenced to hard work in the peniten tiary. Considering that among the German popula tion his real character was known, it is strange that this person, at times a pedler, doctor, professor, count; and colonel, should hare been allowed to run so long a career of fraud. We are informed that other adventurers, who disgrace the general integri . ty. and patriotism of our foreign-born citizens, re main to be exposed. It seems that in 1848, when the Hungarian revoe i lution broke out, the officers of the Hussar Regi.c mente, on arriving at the city of Pesth, found in the Jews' quarter a man of the name of Strasser, - who kept - a secondhand clothing store, and who„, seemed to be in confidential relations with the horsekeep ers of the Hungarian plains which surround that city, and with whom he had an extensive business connection. The person who gives us this informa tion was in one of the regiments, and was personally acquainted with Strasser at that time. When the Garibaldi Guard was being formed in New York, he recognized in the elegant and influential Col. D'- TJtassy, Strasser, the Jewish clothes dealer of Pesth. D'Utasey% first field in America was in Canada. By dint of audacity and cunning, he is said at one time to have been private secretary - to the Governor of Nova Scotia, and at another a Professor of Mo dern Languages in Dalhousie College. He came to New York some three or four years ago, bringing with him strong letters of recommenda tion from influential people in Canada. which, with hie pleasing personal address and perfect self control, enabled him to gain the confidence *of .our best citi zens. Be entered himself as a student in the Office of Dr. Watts, and for a time attended medical lec tures at the - University, ostensibly with the object of pursuing medicine as a profession. All this while he was going under the assumed name of D'Utasay, and living in part hy teaching modern languages, and in part by his wits, At one time he would call himself Dr. D'Utasey, at another Chevalier D'Utes ay, and at another Count. Under the latter pseu donym. he is said to have paid his addresses to a young lady of a most „respectable American family at the same time that, under one of. the others, he seduced a German lady of fine education and pre viously irreproachable character. Among his asso .Mates of foreign birth his pretensions to noble - rank were the subject of jest, and, in various saloons and concert halls, persons who had known him as the horse-trader and clothereclealer of '43, under the name of Strasser, openly denounced him as an im postor. But, as too often happens, the truth did not come to the ears of the worthy parties noon whom he was playing the part of Jergmy Diddler, on a grand stale, and he was thus enabled to prac tich his deceptions until the outbreak of the present On the very first papday after reaching camp, an assessment of about eight dollars was made upon every :non commissioned officer and private in the regiment, Ostensibly for reimbursement to the Union Defence Committee for the cost of their uniforms ; and money which was subscribed by ladies and,gen llemen as a' fund for the benefit 01. the officers and men, the VietilTlS of this .avaricious and unprinci pled colonel, were obliged to repay to him. Rifles thatthe Committee furnished for the flank companies were taken away with the regiment, in boxes, but di eappeared soon after reaching camp. Such of the officers as would not tamely endure his tyranny, and wink at his dishonest practices, were forced, by one pretext or another, to resign, or were dismissed by court martial on trumped-up charges, their places being filled in every case with- creatures of his own selection, to whom the commissions were sold at the best pikes he could extort. Two brothers of his, named respectively Anton and Carl Strasser, were called from Hungary to take commissions - in the regiment, and their names, transformed.into the noble pseudonym of von TJtasey, were borne on the regimental pay-rolls for months before the men were even in this country. The record of his peculationa in camp would fill a long chapter. - We have been told by one of his officers that some time last summer, an ill dressed, slovenly Jewish woman, turned up in camp, inquiring for Colonel D'Utasay, saying that she was his lawful wire, and had come from }tinge: Ty to see him, as she had heard , that " her man" had become a real colonel in the United States Army, and had brOught him his two children (two dirty Jewish boys whom she led by the , hand) to receive his blessing and caresses, She was directed to the colonel's tent, passed the night with him, and the following' day disappeared=it is said with a considerable amount of his stolen property which had been given into her hands for safe-keep . All this time this-horse-thief, perjurer, forger, se ducer, this foreign confidence operator, and living lie, was praised in the newspapers as a brave and competent officer, was regarded by his dupes in New York as a Hungarian nobleman in his own right, a sort of second Kosciusko and appeared on Washingtonthe ave nue and in the hotels at in all the glory of gilt lace and embroidered coats, with an outrider in Mameluke costume 'following at his heels. He was at Harper's Ferry, and by hook and crook made it appear as if he, "faithful found among- the faith less," alone had the courage'and disposition to fight, to die like Leonidas, rather than surrender, - The large-amount of--money which he. realized by his several daring swindles not 'being sufficient to support his extravagant style of living, and minister to his vices of gambling and debauchery, he resorted to the desperate expedient of defrauding the Go vernment by means of a forged bill of over $8,000,. which was presented by him at the War De partment ' and paid by Captain. Elwood, United States Paymaster; on the .9.7 th of November, 1861. This bill was made out in the uanal form, for subsistence and lodging said to have been furnished by various contractors to the Geri 'baldians in New York during the organization of the regiment; and the correctness - of the general summary of the whole claim was not only certified by DrUtasay, but the bill--was also accompanied by his sworn affidavit before a notary public' in the city of Washington. This was the first fatal errorwhich the man seems to have committed in his long career of crime, for it ultimately led to an investigation of his life, and his conviction and'sentence to a term of imprisonment at Sing. Sing, upon which he has just, entered. End of the Billiard Tournament. Last evening the grand billierd tournament, that has been held for the last eight or ten dayis, at Irving Hall, came to a most brilliant concluSion, by a grand match entitled the East against the .:Westi and played by the following gentlemen : THE FAST. THE WEST. Michael Phelan, Philip Tieman, Dudley Kavanagh, John Seereiter, William Goldthwait, Michael Foley, Victor Estephe, -Louis Fox. Chris. Bird. I John.Deery.

After playing two hours and thirty-three minutes, the Eaitern players were declared the vie tors by 162 points; the East hid 70 innings, the, West 69. The largest score was made by Gold thwait, who counted 222; the smallest by Fox, who only made 64 Tor his side. Phelan, for the East, strung 139, being beaten in point of numbers, both by . Kavanagh and Goldthwait.

SIIFFOLW PARR RUNNING- - RACES.--LAST DAY.—Yesterday closed the meeting at Suffolk Park, decidedly the beat attended, end in itself the best ever held in Philadelphia. The flower Of all the rasing stables in the country were in the races, the number of which in three days was unusually large. About one o'clock a brisk showerfell, wtitch, for a time, threatened a - postponement of the races, hilt by two orclock it had wept itself away,. and the sun coming out, shone on a larger number of spec tators than were probably ever before within the park. The Tidies' stand, too, presented a gay scene, and the animated eyes and impulsive wave of hand kerchiefs evidenced how keenly they enjoyed the excitement. There were four races, the first a two. mile dash for VISO, open for all ages; for which were entered "Mamona,""Dangerous," "'Copeck," and "Illondin." The betting between the back ers of "Mamona" and "Dangerous" was spi rited, ".IVI moiler' having the call, "Opoeck" third in the estimation of pool buyers, - whilst "Blondin" - was least esteemed At the tap of the drum, "Copeck" went to the front; " Dan gerous" second; "Bloudin" third, and - " Mamona" trailing. At the-turn "Blondin" passed to a second place, which he yielded to "Dangerous" at thequar ter-pole, "Mamona" still trailing, her easy, Ipw striding keeping her in close company with the others, with but half their exertion. After passing the half•mile pole, "Dangerous" came up, and, siding with "Copeck," a - beautiful struggle ensued down the home stretch, which resulted in "Dangerous" securing a lead of a length as they entered on the second mile. Here Gilpatrick eased hie horse, for he knew the struggle with his most formidable oppo nent was yet to come. And come it did, for " Ma ssone," breaking into a terrible run, passed "Rion din" and ".Copeck," and challenged the sorrel. Away they sped together, but the mare would not be denied, and At the third quarter pole was ffve lengths ahead, which she maintained to the finish, winning the heat and race in 3.43 Y, ;. "Dangerous" second; "Copeck" third; and "Blondin" fourth. A half hour elapsed, when the second field was announced. This race was also a two-mile dash, and the entries were " Capt. Moore,"—the winner of the mile heat race on Wednesday, —"Lodi," " Southerner," "Surprise," and "Rouble." As in the previous race, there were two favorites, which gave an impetus to betting, and increased the ex citement. At the word, the "Captain"-appropri ately took the lead, followed closely by "Southern er," "Lodi" third, "Surprise" fourth, and "Rou ble" last. The rider of "Lodi was evidently riding to push the race, and, at the start, battled 'with "Southerner" for the second place, which, however, he did not secure until after a fierce stnig gle, which continued to the end of the first mile, when "Lodi" shoved in front, and, at a rattling pace, pursued " Capt. Moore," who was still leading by the distance, which - a good start secured him. Slowly he gained on him, and, at the half-mile pole, succeeded in lapping hitn, and together, as one horse,. they came down the backstretch. As they turned around the home-stretch, "Lodi"' dropped off, and the rider of "Moore" took his home in hand, thinking _the struggle was over; but when halfway home, "Lodi"-again made - play, and before the rider of " Moore" could gather his horse, had lapped and passed him. The- whip - and spurs fell on " - Moore," and in three jumps he had reached the position, winning the heat by a neck, in 3.4134'; "Lodi" second; "Southerner" third; " Surprise" -fourth;• and ."Rouble"-in the position he had started. The next was the selling-race, so-called from the fact that the horses were to be sold at the termina tion of the race. The arrangement was as follows : The horses entered to be sold for $1,600 (no entries for a higher price) to carry their proper weights; those entered to be sold for $l,OOO, allowed 7 pounds; if for $600,14 pounds; if for $3OO, 21 pounds. For -this the entries were: " Seven Oaks," $600; "Eton din," $600; and "Venture," $3OO. The race was a dash of miles, ,and the start was effected from the third quarter-pole. At the word, " t'Elondin " jumped to the front, with "Seven Oaks" at his heels, and "Venture" bringing up the rear. Down the stretch the pace was fast, and " Blondin," who had been in the mat race, could not hold it ; "Seven Oaks" taking up' the lead, by six lengths, in which position he finished and won the race, in' 2.17%; "Blondin" second, and "Venture " third. "Seven Oaks" was then offered for sale, but, no bid being offered, was withdrawn. Now came the feature of the day—the four-mile race, between "John Morgan" and "Je rome Edgar." "John Morgaii"was the favorite, he having achieved a good reputation as a four-mile racer, by having defeated "Idlewild " Lexington. 100 to 40 were the odds offered on him, and always taker.,---thebetting being heavier than on any, pre vious race. The riding of this race requires a great deal of judgment; and the fact that the celebrated "Gilpatrick" bestrode, "Edgar" encouraged those who accepted the odds against him. At the tap of the drum they got off, "Edgar leading at an easy pace, and "Morgan" following, hard held, to his place. At the quarter pole the pace increased, and it was evident the run was to be a hard one. Down the back stretch "Edgar" was allowed togo up, and in a few strides they were together, and as one horse they.thundered down the stretch and into the second mile, when "Edgar"'again assumed the lead, and as before, led to the quarter-pole. -The pace had now increased, and the friends of "Mor gan" looked anxiously, for him to commence the struggle. At the half-mile pole his, driver let him go, and rapidly closing on him, lapped• hini down the stretch. Now they came, neck and neck, until passing the score, when, amidst a deafening cheer of the spectators, "Morgan" passed him, and led by the quarter-pole thee lengths. The 100's looked satisfied, whilst the forties were uncertain. At the half-mile pole "Edgar" again -came up, and sided with his opponent clown the back-stretch, and much to the dismay of the bettors against hirm'led - down' the stretch and into the fourth, mile, with a step lighter than "Morgans," who appeared to be in distress. Now the forties are jubilant, for it ia pain fully evident that " Morgan" is tired. Slowly he falls away, at the half-mile pole he ' falters, and at. the third quarter-pole stops, "Edgar" cantering home a winner of,the beat, in 7.62%.: We are at a toss to account for the break-down of " Morgan," for he has before shown bottom which' placed him high in the rank of four-mile racers ; ,_;lt certainly caused thousands of dollars to chane hands which was thought to be most securely invested.

M., and took the' cars to Chest. nut. Hill, to visit the Mower Hospital, where they arrived at 51a P. M., and were received by Dr. Jos. Hopkinton, surgeon in charge of that institution: There are now about one thousand patients in the hospital ; some very interesting cases were pointed out. The.working of the fire brigade was exhibited to the satisfaction of the delegation, and shearing the utter iMpossibility for a fire to secure any head.- way, the guard being-as well drilled as any,of our - city fire organizations. Five 'hundred loaves of :bread are now used - daily. The commissary room was found to be a large room, where everythingfrom a pin to a complete outfit could be obtained upon due requisition. In the kitchen; - a large room, 30 by 109 feet, everything is in -the moat complete and cleanly - `order. The knapsack-room can accommodate 3;000 • knapsacks. There are twenty-two acres , covered ; by the.hospital being 13; miles in. - circumference. The surgeons of -this hospital ihave organized a medical society, and have .a leeture'room capable of holding some eighty auditors, and each gentle- `man:in.turndelivers a lecture weekly to his brother. officers. The delegates then partook of, a very generous 'set-out by Dr. Hopkinson. After which, Dr. , Condie expressed the <feelings of the visitors in a neat speech. Dr. .Seiss, of Easton, moved tkat a vote of thanks be tendered - Dr. 'Jos. Hopkinson, of the Mower Hospital, for .the very kind and gentle, mainly manner in which he -has entertained the dele gates of the Medical Association ; seconded by Dr. Burns of - Frankford. Surgeon . Hopkinson madea neat speech in replY, inviting the delegates to visit his hospital another.- time, when,they lied more leisure to inspect the arrangements for the comfort •of the' sick - and ' wounded soldiers. After which, the "delegation took the cars-for the city. In the evening the delegates were handsomely en tertained at the house of Dr. L. P. Gebhard. ',After Partaking otthe bounteous cheer, so lavishly. spread before them, Dr. Condie' made some felicitous re marks, alluding to the fact that the host, Dr. Geb - hard, had teen , fifty-one years a practitioner of me dicine, during; hich time he had discarded the use of &carriage, and depended one his powers as, a pe ' destrian. Dr. Condie regarded this, as striking proof of the beneficial effects of abstinence' from the use of stimulating liquors and tobacco in any form, Dr. Gebbilid now, at the age of '72, being a hale, hearty . man, and apparently able to continue hie pedestrian "habits for many - sears longer. It was casually re marked, by a 'delegate at our elbow, w , that there - were present:three army.surgeons of, the war of 1812—Dre, Gebhard, Condie, and Bache. On Friday a portion of -those delegates remaining "in the city visited tto.e Union'League rooms .and the rooms of 'the tional Union 'Club, 1105 Chettant street, and' the Academy.bf..Fine Arts. At , the League rooms, af ter viewing the building,and hearing from the mem . bers present the objects of the association, the 'dele gates organized themselves into - ; a *meeting .lty call ing Dr. Worthington, of Chester, to the chair, and Pr. Atkinson as secretary. - Dr. Jewell, after some remarks relativelo , the reports in- Borne- of the pa pers. - offered the following'resolution :'"Resolved, That Dr, T. Green.- late president of:the association, be authorized te make a correct statement of the pro ceedings at the late session of the society, relative to invitation - from the:Union League, and publish it over his signature,; which was carried. After a vote of "thanks to the League for their 'handsome recep tion accorded to the individual delegates, the meet ing adjourned. , , 7 TILE 'FIRST OCEAN STEAMSHIP..-The bill for the establishment of . a line of ocean steamers, which passed Select Council' on Tlitiisday last, and will be adopted by.the opposite side of the House at the • next meeting, proposes to give the aid of the city to a project which har received the 'approval of a large class of our business,; community. The inte rests of the city are carefully guarded in the pre mises, as will 1)0 - perceived by a careful examination of its provisions.- -Instead- , of , limiting the period during which the nxeess ofthe city's dividends over six per cent. are accumulate "as a fund for the in demnity of tberallroad company, it limits the amount of the fund ,and leaves the city et liberty to dispose of its, stock, and to pan an unencumbered title to it. For. tithe city should .201 one-half of its stock, it is the excess of dividends over six per cent. on its re maining,stock, which . will go into the fund, - and the only effect will be to enlarge the period of accumu lation. It provides for the investmentof the fund in the-joint names of the president of the railroad and the city treasure:, and for,the payment of the inte rest into' the city treasury. And lattly, it 'defines with definiteness the extent toWhioh the city`-'.agrees to indemnify the railroad company . .. • The Pennsylvania Railroad Comp , any 'propose to act in 'the nioat liberal way towards:both the city and the steatiabip.company.

The steamship company have already purchased the site for their. shipyard. They have secured tcsientY•two acres of land below Lynn's shipyard, adjoining the old canal, at a eost of $54,000. This' will make one of the largest shipyards in the world. The ground will be thoroughly fitted up with sheds, machine shops. pla ning mills, etc., Mid all the ocean steamers will be constructed here; hence, the employment of a large number of Philadelphia mechanise,: The woodwork, iron, copper; plumbing; the upholstery, cabinet snaking, rigging, etc., will be done in this city. The workings, drawings, -and model of the first vessel to be constructed are now in Capt. Randallre posses sion, and cost several thousand dollars. About nine months will be required to turnout the first vessel; Which will be constructed after the model of the steamer City of Buffalo, now running in Lake Erie, and which is considered the best vee sel in the world. This new ocean steamship will be 980 feet keel, or 500" feet above all, 23 feet depth of bold, 6,100 tons, and capable of making 22 miles an hour in reasonable weather. There will be a enfficient number of beds to accommodate 2,6oo.pas sengers. The vessel will beproyidedwith • four pro pelling wheels, and her engines will be placed 130 feet apart in separate compartments. The engines will be the same as those used by Captain Randall in one ship for the period of eleven . years, during which a single trip was not lost. They are known as "Light Hants Improved" engines. The vessel, it is argued, will make a trip to Liverpool inside of eight daye,-or three days sooner than any other. Its cost will be about $609,000. If the vessel travels as fast and with that safety claimed for - her, the effect will be to bring parties from all parts of the country to this city before shipping for a European port. EXTENSION OF THE WATER , WORIES..- The ordinance pending in.Oity Councils, for the fur ther extension of the water works, is quite similar to all the oreinances that-have, frome.time •to time, during the past four years, been introduced in these bodies, with no effect other than to create barren discussion. Fora long time, and especially during the summer months, very great inconvenience has resulted from the short supply of water; and every attempt to increase it, by the erection of ;suitable water works, has proved abortive, through.political and other considerations. The patronage to-be be stowed in the expenditure of so much money- is al ways a bone of contention between the contestants. The present bill is said to have many material de fects, but the committee who prepared it allege that it was the best that could be conceived. Whether good or bad; it is very certain that some improve ment on the present mode of furnishing water is urgently demanded. It is said that the basin in the York works is always filled with water, and provided with a supply equal to what would be need in ninety days, should any accident intervene to pre vent the usual supply. -It is proposed to makethe following improvements, the whole costing about $950,000. • The Mayor is authorized to borrow on .the credit of the city - , such sums as may front time 'Ari time be required : 1. For a forty-inch main in Columbia avenue, On Master street, from Spring Garden reservoir to Tenth street, $132,750. 2. For a - -thirty-inch main on Columbia; avenue, from Tenth street to Seventh street, and on Seventh atreet to "Kensington reservoir, $87,331. 3. For building a retaining wall around,. and rais ing the Kengington reservoir, $70,000. • 4. For a forty-eightinch connecting main, from. the Spring Garden reservoir to that on Corinthian avenue, $62,000. 5. For a forty-eightirich ascending main, from the works at Fairmount to the reservoir on Corinthian avenue, $85600. 6. Amount to be refunded to the Treasury for the completion of the works at Fairmount, $30,000. 7. For the pinchase of ground, the construction of a reservoir in the - Twenty-fourth ward, ilk. elusive of a twenty.four inch main, $250,000. 8. For the purchase and construction of a Cornish Engine in the Spring Garden Works, and for a. forty eight inch ascending main, and for the con struction and alteration of buildings, $160,000. 9. For an additional pumpingmainat the Twenty fourth Ward Water Works, $l5 000. 10. For contingent expenses, $36,319. FRUIT lav — GENERAL, AND STRAWBERRIES IN PARTICI:MAR.—The quantity and quality of fruit in prospect for the mouths which already water for it, was, perhapi, never more abundant and deli cious than at present. Every variety bespeaks e very large crop, and as no injury of any amount has been caused by the frost or otherwise, the quality of the fruitag ewould seem to be commensurate with the largeness of the harvest. d. single exception misht be named. .Last year the apple orchards bore over abundantly.-This year they will therefore not yield as much, though a fair supply is anticipated, and will be produced. The strawberry crops in particular pro mise a fine yield. The citizens of Bristol are served with strawberries by the neighboringfarmers, who di ' rest attention to their cultivation, as-low as twelve cents a quart. In this city the prices vary considerably. The finest, the largest, and most delicious kind, the ladyfingers, sell for-twenty-five.cents a quart. The next best, very good, but not quite so good, sell for eighteen cents a quart ;, and a third variety, or ad mixture of varieties, can be had for from twelve tO fifteen - cents. These'are the prices for which'thist; beautiful and palatable fruit can be purchased in the market. At the restaurants, saloons, and eating , houses, the price per saucer varies almost in exact proportion to the "style" and prestige of the ester= bliehnient."Every one is so fond of the fruit, that every one is willing to-pay-for it the most hie pock ets can afford. 7A - wrAnD oy GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.— ..
