LIVERPOOL TO SAN FRAN CISCO.

THE CITY OF NSW YORK.

The American metropo'is is becoming rapidly one of the first cities in the -world. All tlie manufacturing establishments ot any note in America find it necessary to have a representative in New York, and all tbc business houses of the different cities of the States find they can do better if they arc individually represented in the metro polis, so that what was up.town a few years ago is fast becoming, or has already become, down-town. There are now offices and warehouses where there were only retail shops* It Is simply wonderful to con template what will be the future of this city, where upwards of twenty five thousand emigrants landed during the last fourteen days of my viuit. The build ings of New York, ds a rule, are my fine buildiilgSj the prevailing colour for private residences being brown («tone), and for hotels, warehouses, and public buildings, white (marble.) The dry goods stores are very fine, and, as buildings, come up to either the Bon Marche" or Louvre of Paris, but the interior show of goods, of course, cauuot be compared. I will take A. Y. Stewart's as being about the finest building. It occupies the whole of one block ; is built of white marble and brick flro-proof. The. whole of the exterior is of white marble, polished, and as no goods are exposed td vieAv in thd itindovs it looks rather dreary. The interior is a large clear open space, the different floors—seven, I think—showing as so many galleries, and;the effect isvery fine. There are elevators to every floor, so as to make the recreation ot slioppiug as little an effort as possible. Right here, 1 will say, that for clothing, that is ladies'dresses, &c, America is about the dearest place in tho World. A lady carinot get d good black silk dress made td Order tinder about £90,- and so on all through the chapter. A. T. Stewart died in 1876, worth someWhdrd about sixty or seventy million dollars, his wife wad the only heir, and inherited nearly the whole of his proporty. This was all very well, but ho willed to his legal adviser, Judge Hilton, somewhere about 5 million dollars. This astute individual persufidSd the widow to sell him, for three millions, the wnolfi of the dry goods business. This was con sidered at the time a most rascally thing as the business,was known to be worth at least twenty-five millions. What was a poor lone woniari to dp, howevef, but take his advice, and especially -When Stewart ill hit) will, left the management of his affairs to Judge Hilton. Amongst other property left by Stewart was a mammoth Hotel at Gar den City, whither in the summer gay New Yorkers go to enjoy the briny. Now Hilton after purchasing the business, grew to be such, an important individual, that he allowed his importance to. get the better of his discretion, and in an evil hour issued an,edict that no Jew would be admitted to, any of tile Stewart Hotels. This Caused sectarian feelirig tfj run rather high at the time, but as we are liviug in the nineteenth century, not the dark ages, all sensible people pooh-poohed the whole arrangement, and bad a good deal of sympathy for the Jews. The conse quence is that now Stilton baa lost the whole of the Jewish dry goods custom, which was immense, and a good deal of that of people who sympathised with them. So greatly has business fallen off tbat the hotels, aud there are seveial of them, do not pay expenses, the wholesale dry-goods house is closed and "lo let" being too large for any ordinaiy firm to take, and al together lie has made a sad blunder. Of cour.-e, the name of Stewart is now seen in connection with the bu»iuess, but the man has quite passed out of people's recollection, and it is astonishing to find that so rich a man should die and leave not one monu ment behind for people to esteem and remember him by. The only railway company, barring the Elevated, that has a terminus in New York is the N; Y. Central and Hudson K. It, of which Mr Vanderbilt is king. They are boring a tunnel under the Hudson to connect Jersey city with New York, anfl, when this is completed, both the Krie and the Pennsylvania will have a metropolitan terminus. There is a little bit of history attached to the New York central which may not be out of place. Commodore Vanderbilt was a mariner and had one of the original ferry services, when communication was by sailing vessel. When the Californian diggings broke out he started a vessel on Lake Nicaragua and the service between New York on one side and San Francisco on the other. So well did he prosper that when competition be came too keen he was able to sell out, and .Keck fresh fields, and was mare fortunate in finding good pasturage than many are. Sufficient to say he1 Invested his little hoards in real estate and Railway. He-first turned his attcntio'n to the Old Harlem Kailway, which was theii in a squeaky; if not a baukrupt condition. He laid his plans with clear-headed fore sight, and stuck, to them,' no matter what bad luck seemed to overtake )!i=> ventures at times. It was not at all a difficult rtiattef for [him to buy up almost the whole of the ordinary stock of the Harlem Road. This done, he by slow degrees, bought a con trolling interest in the different lines he wanted to form tlie link of his future railroad. He was sufficiently cunning to keep the Harlem in the background, and in deep water, and like Jay Gould, he kept his own counsel until he had concluded all his Arrangements. Then be paid off the liabilities of the Harlem Road and improved the road so much' that it be came an actual necessity to the other lines. He first amalgamated one and then another of|gthcse link lines, and at each fresh amalgamation watered the stock of the Harlem. He gave_ his own line the best of the arrangement in every case, nntil at last the links are complete in the New York Central and Hudson River railway with four lines of tack clean through from New York to Buffalo, the finest road_ bed in America,andthe finest terminal station. The rolling stock is the best in the States, and, in fact, so. well did the bid gentleman's arrangements turn out, that about three years ago his son' was able to water the whole,, stock over again, and clear an immense amount of money, and he has now invested in United States 4 per cent bonds, no less than fifty-six million dollars. Talking of, Vanderbilt the son,' he is at pre sent erecting three magnificent, mansions in sth Avenue, one for himself, one for his son, and one for the married daughter. The houses form a terrace, and are so,arranged that in the event of _the ; Vanderbilts wish ing, to give a reception, the whole of the ground floor of the three houses can be turned into.one suite of rooms. He is spending a fabulous amount in .furnishings, He gave §40,000 for a gate in Paris. His ceilings are coming from Paris.

LIBERTY'S ABM,

From our window, at the sth Avenue Hotel, we noticed a moat peculiar monu ment in Union Square, and, being curious to know ■vvhat it was we walked over and found it to be an immense flambeau held by a colossal, hand-and-arm. This is mounted on a pedestal' in front of which is a plate shewing a view of Mew York in the distance, with an island, on which is mounted a Statue of Liberty. I asked a gentleman near me whose the island was, and found it did not exist. It appears that Trance, in • a most loving and generous outburst of sympathy offered to give New York this figure of liberty, providing she kept it lighted, and " b'uiit the island shewn." It is therefore rather a white elephant, as they cannot block up the harbour for the sake of receiv* ing this monument, even to please the Republican tendencies of la Belle France. All the nautical opinions are against it; and lastly, where is the money to come from to make the island ? The1 New Yorkers wanted to put it oh Long Island somewhere; but, no, they are bot to have the image unless they make "the island,' -so they have nothing more than the instal ment in Union Square aforementioned.

LOCOMOTION IN NEW YOKE.

Travelling when you take the ordinary mode such as rail, tram, 'bus, or boat, is the cheapest thing I found in America. If you take a caniage they have you properly. The ordinary fare by tramcar is 5 cents the course. "The cars that run the length of city are nearly all long two-horse cars having a driver and a conductor. The cars that cross the city are nearly all what they call'bobtail cars.1 Thcss have only one horse and one roan, the driver, who has the control of the door by which yon enter, and which he can by a lever open or thut at his . pleasure. Say you are a Btranger, The first thing that catches-your eye on entering is a notice that the fare is five cents, next that the diiver is not allowed, on any account, to receive fares which mußt be deposited in the box, next that the driver will give change for any amount up to one dollar, You change your dollar by poking your hand against a plate in the door marked ' change,'this rings a bell as it revolves, and spings back when you take off the pressure. The driver presses the change back, and the bell rings again. You dc .porit your five_ cents in the box and sit down on a nice comfortable seat, made similar to those- thin wooden-chair scuts imported I from America some time since. The back of .the seat is:the same wood.:! The floor is covered with a grating, the laths of which; run longitudinally only. There is notbiDg to

get stuffy, and the car is always clean am* tidy. ■ The passenger can now be amused b»> gazing up and finding where he can cure his catarrh, where he can spend his holi days. &c , &c. These small • bobtail' cars would be jnst the thing-for Auckland. A single line of tramway with crossing places a spare horse to assist at.the heavy eradea and equipped wiih cars of this description could be made for from £4,000 to £s^ooo. per mile, and this would do quite well for, the present. A few American 'buses would also be a great improvement. They' have them in Melbourne and so well has that city been served by them that it is not until lately they have begun to think about tramways at all. .; .

FERRY SERVICES.

The Ferry services to Brooklyn, New Jersey, and Hoboken, are excellent. The fare is 5 cents, but by commutation, that is taking weekly, monthly, or yearly tickets, you reduce this to about 3 cents a day.. The steamers are double ended, hare single condensing engines, a long, stroke, a walk-' ing besm, a large wheel, and travel at a great speed. The engines are so arranged as to occdpy as little space in the beam of the vessel as possible. The ladies', gentle* men's, and general cabins are well ar ranged. There are lavatories for gen tlemen and ladies, and altogether the boats are made' for the comfortable con veyance of human beings. At each! end of the hurricane deck, there is a Ismail look-out house protected by class i wiudoWs. There is a steering whsei in each of these, and the captain is .far' removed from the passengers, and can see everything, so that he can safely steer the vessel between her destinations without having his mind taken away from his duty.' The arrangement they have for their wharves is another thing that might easily be copied with advantage to ourselves.; They drive two rows of piles, arranged; so^ that they will receive the vessel easily,; between, and where her bow touches and is moored, there is space sufficient to allow a landing-stage to work. This stage or gang way is fixed by hinges and is balanced so thrtt it can be raised or lowered by one or two men. The passengers can pass off the steamer 10 or 15 abreast easily, and,without any danger of falling overboard. Horses, carriages, and carts can be driven on board and taken off nt the other side without any difficulty. In fact, so well have the services been carried on, that now Brooklyn, New Jersey, and Hoboken are quite large cities. Wahdekeb.

MOUNT EDEN QUARRY ACCIDENT

(TffthiKditor.)'

Sib,—ln reply to Mr Shepherd's letter, ytiioi appeared in your Saturday's isisrJe, I beg thef privilege of a few words. He appeal aggrieved that his name should have been mentioned ir^ oonnqctlm with the above aeoident. when bs was fifty niiles away. But had he been hero (and who knows he was not) I hope he doea not think fcis presence would, hare shut peoplo'a mouths upon sflch «n occasion. He refers.to an attacK made by mo npon him } I rionv hivtan made any attack, but Simply stated facta; not olio of nrhich be has dfaproved Jn Ma letter. O'Neil, he says, Is not employed to take sixr penoe3 for the loads, btit to keep check of tbo loads as they go out—ol Gourde, ifl order that Mr Shepherd might get the sixpences all the sarao. He then goes on to say the dangerous state of the pit has not been made by his authority—l should say not; but under Ilia authority and throiigh his negligence. He deritea all the in come, for Which he pays nothing; and whose place is it, it not his/ to Bee that Jhe place is kept free from danger? He then makes a long com' plaint of our men not obeying orders ; but tho orders given by him were not given with a view to the safety of the pit, as much m to remove to hirnso'f all the best places for B<;ieo"ing purposej. Tho men are huuiod from place to place.so that It ia sometimes almost im posible for them to secure thoir loads. As to our not taking any course gravel, it is simply false. Howt does lie know? He ia seldom there to see what goes away. He says he ham to sell the coarse at threepence per load, Wit he lia3 always rery oarefully charged tfs sixpence for all without diSlinction. Aa to1 the kind of gravel we cart, we have to be guided by the requirements of onr customers, and not what we ourselves would likd or Mr Shepherd eihor. He cays the sore point with the Messrs WinstonC is in having to p»y th« sixpence per load for, a supposed bonetit in having tho scoria picked down all ready for loading:, and which was the Inducement held out by Mr Shepherd whon he got the carters to sign tho agreement by which he was enabled to gain control of the pit. Although wo would not sign that agreement believing th»t Mr Shepherd wsa not the man to conform to it, he having obtained the pit, we are bound to pay just as much as those who did. Since he has had the pit he has never got any scoria ready, and bo far from rendering assistance, has been an obstacle in thi way ot obtaining the:gravel. Furtaer the pits were never in such a bad state as since he has had oontrol. The pit is in a disgraceful muddle) like the road into it, which ia not fit to drivo a team through. I would like you, sir, or any other person to go and look to be "convinced of the truth ot my statement. Ip believe the revenue from this pit including soreened not to be less than £30 per month, on average the year through. Surely, then, we ought to apt KomciMnc in return. But the motto or the pxOOotltliolAor'jSfctoliati to Tao^sjot I>X\ V**o"*it»W"«>K* Although our name has been made prominent in this matter, yet thoro is not a carter in Auck land but will certify to the correctness of our sqatoments I notice the Domain Board are about to lease the' pit. I believe this 'to be a mistake. They should put a man oti men. to work the pit, and Collect the revenue themselves and so prevent any private individual from monopolising ihe pit to tho detriment of the public good.-Sours &0.,^ >; Gkoeqb Wikbtone:

THE PLAGUE AT BAGDAD.

LIKELY TO BE MORE DESTKUtiTIVE THAIf

THE EARTHQUAKE AT SCIO,

The cable announcement that the Turkish Government has forbidden the Turkish newspapers to publish reports of the Bagdad plague, which continues to be unfavourable, reveals the horrors of a calamity which the outside - World little suspects. It seems probable that the rntages of this dread disease in the land which Was the cradle of the human race have but fairly commeiiccd^ and we shall not be unprepared ' for startling intelligence of its progress. 'The plague of 1831 did not set in at Bagdad' till near the close of March, and even as late as the 4th of April that year the deaths were not more than 150 a day. But this mortali ty was nothing compared with whatfollowed. JJefying not only air curable but alleviate medical treatment it made rapid stride?, arid by April 10th the daily mortality rose to 1,000 or more, and by the 20th had; doubled this rate in a population not' exceeding 80,000, of which nearly'."obe^half, it. Via estimated, had fled the limits of the city. In that month alone not less •than 30,000 souls perished from that scourge! : The inundation of the Tigris at the end of,.the month, according to an 'eye-witness, "swept away 7,000' houses, burying 11 tßc sick,' the dying,"and the dead,J withjmimy in health, in one"common grave.;."■'';'TtTßfcß only with the cessation of the spting' rate| in May, and the .arrival of clear weathfcr, that either the pestilence or the' flood1 wife stayed or food could ;be gotten1 into the city. ■ . ■'.;,- : ~' ■<" '■, n*™l \ The worst of the present visitation has, therefore, in a/1 probability yet to come tor to be reported. In a short time' the lair famed scorching summer of' Bagdadj"in_ which Sir Henry. Kawlipson'. says' ■ the thermometer occasionally mounts to'] 1588 degrees, will add 'itsr terror to :tbe scene of the plague's devastations'/ the population of which is" "at 150,000. UnlefS the plague should prove remarkably1 mild and tractable" its victims will be much more numerous than those,of the ' earthquake at .Scio, whofe sufferings have awakened so much Sympathy, in this country and elsewhere. But the' Porte's suppression of the news of the Bagdad calamity seems the highest height of folly, and calculated to rob the plague-smitten district of the sympathy and'succour which the outside world would extend to it;1 dven if its own Government is too heartless 't(J relieve it.—"New York Herald,".'/■ .'.,,-

One of the sights of Paris is to'be modified, and although it is one of the moat peculiar of the many sights for which .th'p gay capital is celebrated,' few will'regret -the' alteration, that is to bff made,' -'Most English visitors to Paris go to'see? tne Morgue, repulsive though its contents always are, and the morning' is the' best time, af terthenight's discoveries in the Seine, to find our fellow countrymen—and country women too, sometimes - looking ■ through the glass partition upon the frequeripy revolting bodies stretched in all their hideous nakedness upon the marble slabs, a rill of water flowing over them to kee'D them fresh—men and women and children, drowned, murdered, run down' :ih''{He streets, with-their clothes spread "but beside them to assist 'identification. The most dismal feature of the exhibition is to be abolished. Instead of exposirigjtho bodies in a- nude state, a* heretofore, it is now determined to exhibit them in" their clothing, even to caps and bonnets, the idea being to give,'as f;ir as possible, the exact appearance which the deceased presented when living. In the case of corpses found without clothing, the inspection; will :iio longer be public, though facilities for iden tification will, of: course, be accorded '• to persons in quest of missing relatives or friends.
