Tbe profession of Journalism ban grown immensely in- power aud Importance tta members do not now publish tbe Bible la Installments when domestic news becomes scarce, but are overcrowded with that which ought Justly to have a place, and arc only trrubled with tbe difficulty of finding room for What is neccnaaty. The tradition of the prlnl-tng-bouae have changed tbe editor is no longer addressed as Mr. Printer tbe publisher la not tbe writer, bat la rather an eminent commercial mas, andcares little about the views expressed by tbe journal: tbo race of reporters, of whom ionxaon and Hexobt Woodfall were tbo first, baa been entirely tbe growth of the last century, and tbe application of their labors to local news is of so rvceut a date that many middle-aged sea of New-York can recollect when a reporter waa looked upon aa a any aud an eaves-dropper. All the procedures of the Journal of today differ from those of Fbamci.in or or Isaiah Thomas. FtONEKB Hcmtr O'Rkillt, now living in this City at a green and vigorous old age, and Thcblow Weed, the groat politician of tho century, were on temporaries aa editor In Rochester, N.

When I he first dally Journal was printed away from tide-water. It was called the Dtuly Adrer-Hser, and was a striking exauiplo of the enterprise of tbe American people. Its material watt conveyed by alow and laborious wagoning and on diminutive boats up the Mohawk and tuiough Central New-York till it reached it destination, In a village of Ave or six thousand inhaliitUuts, and its columns chronicled he completion of tbe Erie Cnnal. Rochester at that tune wan'ouly eleven years rotnoved from tb? wilderness, and tbe Indian and the stumps of trees were to be fonnd in every street and every garden. The fruit of this early development shown iu the fact that the newspaper business lu that place is the greatest of any town in the UuUed States of equal size, more than twice that of Troy and -Charleston, which were plnces of importance before a log cabin was put up at the Genesee Falls.

Ohio and Western New-York, befote the completion of the groat canal, were vcryjunfavorably "situated for the publication of newspapers. Paicr Was brought from the Kant, slowly and expensively; buildings fit for for editorial purposes infrequent, eo uiueh so that Oowdrey, a well-known editor in those days, put up the first press in Mount Morris uuder a tree, where be also arranged bis type iu canes. Mid waa obliged to retreat into the cabin ot a friendly settler when a thunder-Menu occurred. Cincinnati soon followc.l the Flour City with a dally, and the whole great West imitated. IMPllOVEMENT OF THE fRF.FS.

Kew-York and Philadelphia had been growing with great rapidity since the Revolution, but their Journals had not increased in value. It la true that they were larger, but tbey differed from the former sheets simply as trig boy of twelve years of age differs from a mall boy of the same age. Tbe same puerility of remarks, and the same bitterness of recrimination existed in 1830 that did In 1800. and no more enterprise was visible in gathering news. At this period, however, the penny Press was established, and tbe collector of paragraphs had an occupation.

Whoever compares the London Timet of today with tbe London Time of 1840, will And little difference. The editorials were oat aa well written then as now, the pages were Joat aa broad, and the accounts of proceedings at tbe Mansion House, witb the dates sap-pressed, might do for yesterday. It was ot so in America. Pittsbnrg, Springfield, Trov, print Journals today far superior to those Of any city ot tbe United States in 1840. The beat paper of nearly thirty.

years ago was tbe Kew-York Tribune, when edited by Mr. beelet and Mr. Raymond, yet wbo would compare it with tbe papers of today All that waa possible for two men to do they did; but exertion has its limits. The Times of this morning bas intelligence from every part of the globe; it eorreeiondents and those of the Associated Press are to ho found in every city of the civilised world. The departments added since the establishment of the penny Press have com pletely changed tbe modern newspaper.

The commercial article. City newa, law intelligence, reports of aerrooua and public, meetings, aud all the varied contrivances of the editor to obtaiu newa have been added within a few years. MECHANICAL IMPROVEMENTS. The progress of tbe machinist and Inventor bas been equally great. When the first Napier presa was set up in this City forty-two rears ago, curious travelers made a two days' tourney to see it.

Its great site, its resounding clash when tbe bed bad reached the end of the track, its great speed, and the ease with which its work waa accomplished, compared witb the laborious hand-preaa, excited the astonisbment-of the visitors. Yet that machine was far inferior to those cf the same pattern now manufactured in this City, moving with twice the velocity, and requiring only balf the propelling power. Tbe type-revolving preas waa another wonder, and the telegraph baa enabled newa to be sent without messengers other than electricity. Stereotyping for newspapers baa- been in use in this. City ainoe 1801.

and the. buildinga used for Journals have been built continually better. In tills the Tims set the example, and although many noble edifices bave ainoe been constructed, none surpass it either in beauty or convenience. THE BELIGIOUS PRESS. Specialties In Journalism bave been recent.

Almost every department of commerce has now lta organ, and every new sect or ism also has one. The first published of these, except a shipping list, waa a religious periodical, still existing. Tbe experiment waa regarded aa rash and injudicious, and failure waa predicted. Yet, in spite of all prognostications of 111 -success, tbe largest -weekly newspaper in the country, and the one with the most advertising, ts a religious Journal. The present year there arc 383 different religious periodicals issued in the United States and British Provinces of North America.

Fourteen of these nave a circulation of over so.ooo each, and the total number of copies printed yearly may be given as 70,000.000. Their receipts from this, with advertisements, is not leas than $6,300,000. So it will bo seen that the religious sentiment of the community, besides tbe contributions for churches and in churches, pay voluntarily this immense sum tor religious Instruction. Tbe Methodists and Presbyterians publish tbe most newspapers, and the Lpinco-liana and Unlversalists and Unitarians tbe least in proportion to their numbers. Out of this great number of religious periodicals, about loo pay occasionally for their articles, and mm thirty do The rest depend upon contributions from volunteers to fill their columns.

Tbe Jewish Presa la quite strong for tbe number professing that religion, and the Spiritualists have a large circulation for their papers. The anti-religious sentiment Is represented by but two periodicals. A subject related to religion, and upon which much is said in the religious Press, is that of education. Many periodicals bave been established on this specialty, but It is believed that none of them ever nie.de money. A similar result is experienced in England, and these publications are only kept alive with a great deal ot nursing.

Sixty-two of these periodicals circulate about WjOuO a month, while few of tbe others reach 8,000, and most are under l.ooo. Although, we do not hare a Bute religion, we nave a State system ot school, and halt ot tbe Legislatures of the North make aa annual appropriation for the benefit of educational penodjoala. The total number of copies published of all these yearly la about and their receipts are about 211,000. ltlsoulyjuattoaddthatioost of these suagmxioee are very weak. In aa intellectual point ot view, and that It is a wonder that they live at elk AGnTCCLTCX AL JOCHSALS.

This Is a class very largely developed la tbe VJnitea States. Many of thetn are edited by men af high attainments, and there is a great deal el sal aad public apiril to be fonnd among Una. Tbey have aa abundant advertising and it Is worthy ef note that wbilo balf et all new Journals on other subjects die within a couple of years, "very few ef those devoted to tbe eultiva-Auwt af tho audi bave bean pCbcr taaa aiwan nfwi. even when badly conducted.

Yet that It Las been now bave abundant proof. riMAKCIAL AD BtrSISES. Commerce nnd finance are not neglected bv tbe Aioetieans. There are 167 Journals publ aiied on theme auldecta in the country. subdivided into almost every branch.

Many of them are conducted by persona who aro not ezpert. but where the direction is given to men of ability and enterprise a good itrcuwary result Is reached. There are papers devoted to those who go do to the sea.ro leather and its manufacture, to drugs, irou, oil, railroads, dry-sroods. tobacco, wine, iusurauee aud real estate. Tbe last are generally weak, as tbey are simply advertising jtlinets.

Almost every department of trade has its organ books, for iustanee, bave five, and printers bave aiiL. It is much more economical aud advantageous to the advertiser to use these lertal cnaune'a thnn to employ those of greater ciiculatiou and wi igbt, but which, nevertheless, do uot rea so largely the class for which they are designed. There is a dally legal Journal published in New-York City, and wemy-flve law periodicals besides are published at different intervals. It bas been a great convenience to the profession, for, with the exception of our own paper, there Is no dady giving general news which at the same time furnishes exhaustive re- Kirts of the proceedings in ttre courts of w. Thirty-three is tbe numlx of the scientific aud mechanical periodicals issued, some of them of quite a high caliber.

Tbey generally sutler, however, from tbe fact that their patron-ace has not generally been sufficiently large, and the scientific training of their editors not thorough enough, to make a decided impression. It is by no means ceitain when you lalk to tbe editor of a scientific periodical that you talk to a scientific man. There are ten sHrting periodicals, so-called, and mostly of a low kind. Music is talked about by twenty-six editors, through as many magaziuos or newspapers. The criticism in thepe papers, however, is far below the level of tbe great dailies, and tbe most of them soero simply to have their reason of being in the necessities of their publishers' busiucss.

Woman's rights are represented by nix periodicals, one published in German in tin City. Tbey have not received excellent support. Freemasonry has twenty-two representatives in the 1'reiMt, Odd Fellowship eleven, and total abstinence forty. Few of these have muchvitality. NEWSPAI-EK8 IS FOREIGN Newspapers have been printed In German In this country since the middle of the last century, but It was not until the great immigration in this country, after 1H47, that the German element became really insoluble speaking in the terms of chemistry.

It is no longer necessary for a German to know Kngliah in tbe cities of America; all his acquaintances are German. He is christened in German, is married In German, und when he dies it is recorded in German that our telovcd brother has been takeu away," sgned by all the nearest relatives. The German has his beer garden, his school, his church, his theater, and every necessity of life bupplied to him without kuowiug English. Why should be learn it 1 As a couscyuence of this the German portion of our population read only German newspapers, und these Journals are therefore stronger for it. There are it8 German newspapers in America, being most numerous lu lVnnsvlvania.

Iu that IS I ate they have been a little aBected by tbe English element acting on their own. aud the writing of these loumals is not so much involved gram matically as wliat is written by Hermans. It adheres nMire closely to the Pennsylvania dialect. Ih Canada aud the United Status there are lorty-cigiit French pujiers, many of themcxceed-tngly well wrilteu, but uouo haviuga large ciiculatiou. The two dailies published in this City do not contrast unfavorably with those issued iu l'aris or 13 Missels.

The Hcaudiuaviaus have been pouring in here lately lu vast numbers, and are a reading ieople. There arc fifteen paers published for their etiilieation, one being daily. The Hutch language, although it hu been spokcu in tnis blato for 2.X) years, has never been used to any extent tor periodical literature in this State.

It is ditiicult to state with exactness, for they spring up and die by 'hundreds during every year. Delaware has the fewest paiK-rs, thirteen, and New-York tho most, w6. New-England has most in proiortion to its population, and tbe country journals have tbe largest average circulation, being about l.ooo copies weekly. In New-Y'ork and Pennsylvania they will average about 700 in the valley of the Mississippi, proper, about 360, and In tbe South about 3S0. There are about 660 dailies, varying in circulation from the neighborhood of 300 daily to New-York Is the great center of newspaper commerce.

There are thirty-two dallies in tbe City, six iu German, two in French, one in Scandinavian languages, and the rest In English. Seven of these dailies are known as the New-York Associated Press, and supply all the rest of tbe country with news, which tbey sell. They print of sheets annually, and receive $3,600,000 from advertisements. Their total receipts are about $5,600,000. The other twenty-five dailies print lio.ooo.oooof sheets annually, and their receipts are about $3,100,000 in all.

So it will be seen tbat the New-York daily Press alone has an income of $8,700,000, contributed by the public for the purpose of knowing the news of the day. Tbe other periodicals of tbe City, semi-weekly, weekly, monthly and quarterly, issue 15C.000.000 copies during the year, and their total receipts are about $17,000,000. -Philadelphia is next after New-York, in number of dallies, of weeklies, and of other periodicals, and also prints the greatest quantity of sheets in a year. Sixteeu dailies supply tho Quakern wiRJ mental nutriment, although the quality is not high nor the enterprise of the niunagers great. Their dailies aro Inferior to those of lioston.

Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis, and are no better than those of Pittsburg. Louisville or San Francisco. Boston is tbe third in importance, and the newspaper business is prosjicrous there. Large dividends are declared, uews is paid prompt attention to.

and the writing on many Boston dailies would do honor to any Journal iu the world. The Ilub, however, is no longer such a center for news as Chicago, which distributes intelligence to six or seven States, aggregating three times the population of New-England. The Chicago dallies are conducted ably, have vast resources, large circulation and full advertising columns. They perform for the the part that New-York does for tbe East. Every editor, in the habit ot looking over exchanges, knows that the New-Y'ork State dailies are substantially compiled from those in the city, those of New-England from Boston and New-Y'ork.

and other parts of the Union from other centers. Nearly all the country daily newspapers in the United States are condensed from those of either one ot the above places, or from Cincinnati, where some dailies ot great importance are published, Baltimore, St. Louis, New-Orleans or San Francisco. The Albany papers are extracted from New-York contemporaries, ilarrisbiirg from Philadelphia, Toledo from Cincinnati, aud so on. Besides the places we have mentioned.

Pittsburg, Louisville. Detroit and Charleston maintain a half-way Independence. New-York State, as we have onoe before said, has the greatest number of newspapers, daily, weekly aud every other way Pennsylvania follows, and hen Illinois. Although the latter State has leaa population, it surpasses Ohio, which follows it in order of importance. The Southern States have few papers, and their Importance is very little.

Many of them are edited by carpetbaggers who batten on tbe spoils of tbe public, aud the real Southern aristocracy evidently does not look with a favorable eye upon Journalism. On the Pacific coast tbe population la too sparse for profit to be expected, and San Francisco nearly monopolises it. rsTKKxsnso statistic.

Nyack. a beautiful village of fully 8,000 inhabitants, situated on the banks of the Hudson, is tbns brought within an hour's ride, by rail, of New-York, and the lots ty this movement thrown open for building purposes are among the most attractive in the vicinity.

The town is situated on high ground, 130 feet above the level of the river, thas rendering the locality healthful, and few more ebglble sites are offered upon which to establish a permanent borne. excursion yesterday was In all respects successful. At 10 A. a train specially provided, for the occasion, in charge of Chack-r et Hale, conductor, left Jersey City. It consisted of seven cars.

drawn bv the engine Peter B. Sweeny, and was well-tllted with excursionists. The locomotive was handsomely decorated with colore, as was also a platform-car furnished for tbe use of a braes band accompanying tbe excursion. Upon reaching Piermont, the new portion of the road was gone over slowly built as it is upon tbe brink of the river, the scenery for the four miles to Nyack can hardly lie surpassed. Nearly every house on the line displayed a flag in honor of the occasion, and on tbe arrival of tbe train at Nyack, soon alter noon, tbe party was received with an ovation.

Arches of bunting spanned tbe track, guns were tired, and tbe entire populace turned out to greet tbe new comers. A procession was soon formed, aud preceded by the! band marched to the residence of AzariahJR(, where an address ot welcome was made by lion. Sf.th B. Cole, in which he eulogized the projectors of the road and alluded to the benefits which were likely to accrue to Nyack from its completion. At 3 P.

M. a collation was served at the St. Nicholas Hotel. The tables were well and bountifully supplied, and in addition to those set in the bouse others were spread in a temporary building erected near by, and at tbe Smithsonian House, the other hotel of tbe village. Tbe arrangements at the lunch were admirable, and the affair passed off witb but little, if any, of tbe confusion usually noticeable on such an occasion.

At tbe conclusion of the dinner various speeches were made and sentiments proposed. The first speaker of the day was Col. James Fisk, who bad arrived iu a stieclal train. lie was introduced by Mr. J.

C. IIanet, of New-York, and spoke as follows What do you think tbe shades of Webstfb and Clat would say if tbey could hear me make a speech, and particularly in reply to the toast Too Erie Railway a corporation with which my connection bas been so brief that I am not supposed to be particularly conversant witb its management I There are those here who understand it better than I do, and among tbem my friend. Gen. Divek, wbo, I understand, is pre- tared with a voluminous speech. I am grateful you for this reception.

Judging from what the papers say, Gould and Fire never do anything good but this is a good thing, and I think I will telegraph Gould that we bad better devote our time to opening railroads. I was not invited to assist opening tbe Pacific Railway, and I therefore feel complimented in having been called on to open this road, one of about the same length, and certainly quite as important After continuing in this strain for some time, Mr. Fisk closed bv sayiug tbat the time from New-Y'ork to Nyack would be fifty minutes. He was followed iu brief remarks by Gen. A.

A letter was af tetward read by Rev. L. D. Masfieu, Principal of the Nyack Kockland Female Institute, from Hon. Erastits Brooks, expressing his regret for being unavoidably absent from the celebration.

Kaae at JLainaa. A wing is about to be added to the House of the Good Shepherd, fronting on the East River, near Eighty-ninth-street. The building at present consists of a main structure and one wing. The wing about to be erected will complete the edifice according to the original design. It will be used entirely for the accommodation of the Magdalena and for tbe younger children.

Tbe frontage will be eighty feet in length, with a depth of fifty feet. It will be surmounted by an Iron tower sixty feet in height, containing a bell and clock. The design will correspond with that of the main building, and the material used in its construction will be similar. Tbe basement walla will be 90 Inches thick, and the walls of the upper stories 30 inches. The cellar will contain a laundry 66 feet by SO, kitchens, coal-bins.

Ac the baaement will contain the refectory 65 feet by 80, a reception-room, workrooms ana closet. The chapel will be on the first floor. It will be OT feet in length by 30 in breadth and will contain 84 stalls or pews. It will be so arranged tbat tbe altar of the large chapel in the central building will be seen from It. and thus the congregations of both chapels will be able to Join In the same services without being visible to each- other.

On the second floor will be the community room, 6tf feet by SO feet, where members of the community can meet for social purposes. Bath-rooms, closets and storerooms will also be located on this floor. On tbe third floor there will be two infirmaries, 26 feet by 30 feet each, an oratory, from which the chapel can be seen, and two large dormitories. 'On the fourth floor there will be one large dormitory 66 feet by 90 feet, and twelve cells, each 10 feet by feet, for the use of the members of the community having charge of this portion ot tbe Institution. The building will be supplied with dumb waiters, and will be lighted, heated and ventilated in tbe most approved manner.

The excavations for the foundation have already been commenced, and the structure will be completed by tbe 1st of November next. Tbe cost is estimated at $60,000. Tbe designs were prepared by Mr. L. J.

On Thursday evening the officer and members of lbs Thirty-seventh Regiment were tendered a complimentary promenade concert and hop, at their armory, by the Sheltering Arms Bazaar Committee. Tbe affair a decided success, and tbe arrangements were very agreeably carried out. Tbe armory was handsomely decorated for the occasion, and the appearance of the rooms was an Interesting and brilliant one, owing to tbe large number of striking feminine toilettes that were visible.

Tbe Bazaar Committee have now concluded their lubors, and retire into private life with the pleasant consciousness that their efforts have been the means of enriching a noble charity. The Thirty-seventh Regiment also deserve praise for their action In tbe matter. The Twelfth Regiment had a full-dress parade on Friday evening, at tbe State Arsenal, under the command of CoL John Ward. The attend ance of the members waa very good, and we opine that the unnniformed members are already In a very decided minority. The appearance of the band and drum corps was also good, reflecting credit upon the Musio Commit tee.

Tbe command was exercised in a brief drill in the school of the battalion, and it was in tbe main a successful and imposing one. We like the way in which Col. Ward handles his command, and consider tbe Twelfth as good a regiment ae it ever was. which is aa high a compliment as can be paid tbe command, considering its past history and services. Tbe field officers seem to understand their duties, and naturally contributed much toward the success of the drill.

The occasion drew together a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, who seemed to take great pleasure In the different evolutions. The "Voce Medals" were duly' presented by tbe donor, Capt. Richard Vose, of the Twenty-second regiment, on Wednesday evening. The Regiment paraded in good strength and full-dress uniform, the band and drum corps making tbeir first appearance in full dress. The medals offered by Capt.

Vose were ten lu numlier, one for the Sergeant proving the beet drilled and most perfect in the duties of his position, each of the other nine being fur the member In each company found to be most conversant with the school of the soldier and the manual of arms. There were thirty-two contestants in all, and they were drilled several times in tbe presence of the Judges selected, previous to tbe exhibition drill. On Wednesday night the contestants were formed into a platoon, and manouvered in the school of tbe company by Capt. Vose, wben several of the men became nervous, though the drill was a very creditable one. A review of the regiment by Ward followed the competitive drill, after which the successful candidates were called to tbe front and received their medals.

Their names are aa follows: Sergt. John Waydell, Company private Z. T. Jennings, Company A private Alexander Roux, Company private William F. Mcbon-ougb.

Company private George T. Patterson, Company private Frank A. Batctelder, Company private Robert Lepper, Company G. Companies II and I were not represented in this distribution, as tbe Judges had decided tbat the candidates lroiu those companies did not come up to tbe standard. This decision has caused considerable discussion in the command, and no little dissatisfaction.

Tho several regiments of the Third Brigade will parade in fatigue uniform, for practice in evolutions of tbe brigade, on Thursday, June 3, in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Brigade line will be formed at 1 o'clock P. M. Regimental, field and staff officers, mounted, aud brigade staff, mounted, will report at No. CO St.

Company Twenty-second Infantry, was premature. The Captain had recently stated that unless the members paraded in larger numbers he should be. compelled to leave tbem, as he could not afford to lose time nnprofitably. Capt.

The route will be down Broadway to Wall-street, thence to the ferry en route for Brooklyn. The regiment will cross on the 4:30 P. M. boat. The members of the Ninth Regiment should hear the song of "Jubilee Jim," as sung at the Olympic Theater.

A rumor reaches us tbat tbe new Commissioners of the Central Park are favorable to the project of setting apart a portion of their grounds for the occasional use. of the National Guard. Tue locality of the proposed parade-ground Is the same us selected by the Times last Winter, when the Mount Morris scheme was exposed iu these columns, It being situated between the Seventh and Eighth avenues, and originally intended for cucket and base-ball purposes. We trust that the efforts now being made will prove successful. Oersnaay A.

Iectare by II r. Blcclsw. Eev. Dr. IiiGELOW, of the Atheneom Seminary, Brooklyn, has Just given a lecture of much Interest, embracing facta derived from two years' travel and study In Germany, before the Toung Men's Christian Association of the College ot the City of New-Y'ork.

A large portion of the American people have no adequate information regarding the Germans or their native land. New-York the third City in the world in the number of Its German population and yet here that most interesting country is quite Imperfectly known. It is possible to make only a brief reference here to the facts presented by Dr. Bigelow, but any literary society or lyceum wishing to obtain what can be said of these subjects In an hour or two, would be greatly Instructed by this lecture. Tbe lower shores of the Elbe were specially referred to as tbe original home of our Anglo-Saxon ancestry.

Hamburg, one of the first commercial cities of tbe world, was well described as to lu streets, public buildings, hotels, educational institutions and authors. This city already aends more emigrants to the United States than any other except Liverpool. The general soil and scenery of Northern. Middle and Southern Germany were noticed, and tbe admirable railroad system of the country described. A large portion of the lecture was devoted to travels, scenery and eities, with historical reminiscences and notices of individuals, institutions, monuments.

Ac Tbe lecture contained most Interesting reminiscences of Fkedkbick tbe Great, cm-mac a Luthee, Humboldt, RrrrEM and others. The ptlncipal objects of Interest in many of tbe German cities were briefly described, as well as the beautiful home customs and sentiments of the people. Many facts relating to the universities, the general education, and the opportunities afforded for special studies, were noticed. The Young Msn's Christian Association ot the College do well to have lectures of this character; and we learn that they contemplate scenting a pleasant room Is the building of tbe Toung Men's Christian Association of the City of New-York, thus attracting larger numbers te their organisation and increasing Its "TrfnlntTss, Waaaaa Drawata XJmmmw atagmlar Cir A. most singular affair is reported from the Eleventh Precinct Police, which seems to Involve something closely akin to a murder.

Officer Doxonr, at a lata hour of Friday night, hearing a scream, hastened to the pier at the foot of Twelftb-etreet, fast River, where he found a woman struggling in tho elntches of four stalwart men. He seized upon two of them, and the woman, at the asms moment, breaking from the other two. ran hurriedly away, bat wing to the darkness and ner excitement, sola-took the direction, and plunged heavily Into the river from tha and of the pier. Tho officer could do but little assist her, as aha disappeared almost instantly beneath the water and aid not rise again. Tho policeman managed to retain his bold ef the tws Union Market poMce Station, where tbey were locked up.

Tbey gave their names ae Amuowt FBJtLL, twenty-two years of age, a laborer by occupation, and Johh Kbeuly. a cart man. eignteen years of age. and being arraiamed yea-tcrday before Justice Lkdwith. at tue Kasex Market Police Court, were released, ao evidence being adduced to connect tbem with the drowning.

It is supposed that the mea were endeavoring to outrage the woman when the officer came upon them, bu the ease hss not been fully investigated, and important developments sway yet be made. Tbe Police, as a first step, are endeavoring to establish the Identity of the drowned woman, whose body bas not yet been recovered, and te find the two men engaged in the struggle with her on tbe pier, who are still at large. Wben either of these events occur, something may be done to dispel the mystery now surrounding the tragedy. THE TURF. The Faahiaa Coarse TraCtia neetiaar Latl Daf-Jaha J.

Bradley the laser af tha Pane lav Sr3 Haraea. Yeetcrday was the fourth and final day of the Fashion Course Spring which has been a decided success ss fsr as tbe superior quality of the sport is concern od. The managers have doubtless acquired wisdom by experience, and they will take pains 10 rive their Summer meeting, in June, more extended publicity tnan they have done in tbe ease of tne one Just terminated. Iu every other respect, they have used tbe utmost exertion to secure tbe comfort and enjoyment of tbose who patronised tbeir meetings, and it is only to be regretted that, in tbe selection of their Judges, more care and judgment were not displayed. The principal event of -the day was the postponed race for 3:36 horses for the purse of the winner taking S6oe, tbe second $300 and tbe third $100.

The entries were W. Boksts b. g. John J. Bradley, M.

Rouen's b. g. Western New-York, Dan Mack's s. m. Idol, and B.

Doblk's g. Surprise. The betting on the race was enormously heavy, especially between the partisans of Bradley aud Surprise, who backed their respective favorites unflinchingly and to a great amount. In the pools sold by the regular auctioneer of the course, Mr. T.

Johnson, John J. Bradley sold for IMS, Surprise for tils, and the other two in the field for til. Fikst Heat. Surprise took the lead, with Idol snd Bradley side by side, and at the turn Surprise was leading Western Xew-l'ork half a lengtn. with Idol third and the favorite last, both on a break.

At the quarter-pole Surprise led two lengths, Western bew-Tork second and six lengths before Idol, the favorite still on a run time 38 seconds.

Coming up the homestretch Bradley made a double break, and Surprise, trotting steadily home, won tbe heat by two lengths from Western ffeuf-York, wbo beat Bradley as tar, and Idol in tbe rear.

Time 2:3 1M. Secord Heat. Bradley sull the favorite, selling for $135; Surprise, $100, snd the other two $35.

The gray horse maintained his lead to the half-mile pole, where be was a length ahead ot Bradley: Western New-York snd Idol tne next horses time 1:134.

On the Flushing end Bradley reduced Surprise's load, and as ihey rounded the turn into the homestretch, he collared and passed him, and, retaining his advantage throughout, he won the heat bytafiength Suiprise beating Western New-York two lengths for second place. Time 3:39. Third Heat. The style in which Bradley had won the last heat, without a break or skip, made him a great favorite, for be brought $300 agaiust the field $40. Jdul took tbe lead to the quarter-pole, with Surprise second and Bradley, wbo had got off badly, being several lengths behind when the word was given, st the- tatter's shoulders; time 37H- At the haifnniie pole (1:15) Idol was a length aud a half ahead, and.

never losing his advautage, he came borne a winner of tbe beat by two lengths; Bradley second, a length before Surprise, aud New-York last. Time 3:31 H. Fourth Heat. No betting, for it was still any odds on Bradley winning.

Tbe Interest now centered in the race for secoud money between Idol and Surprise, who bad each won a heat. Both were head and head at the distance, stand, and their clever drivers. Mace and Doblb. using all their skill and exertions to win the $300, the whip being freely sppbed to both. KoiiKM, with Hester New-York, came up and passed them both, beating them over the score six lengths, but Surprise outlasted Idol and won the second money, leaving Macb to pocket the $100 for third horse.

To-morrow the Union Course Spring meeting commences, and from the number and quality of the horses entered. It promises to be a brilliant one. There are two races, one for a purse of $500 for three-minute horses, with nine good entries snd the other for a purse of $800 for 3:34 horses, witn eight fsst horses entered. A good day's sport may be safely anticipated. BUMXAKT.

Reduced to above Gold values at Bureau ot statistics at Washington, The Journal of Commcrc reports of the domestic Dry Goods trade of the week The market la not very active, and there Is much complaint among tbe dealers, but a careful analysis of the trade inclines to the belief that about as many goods ss usual have passed into the ehsnncls of distribution.

There bas been no excitement this season, owing te the absence of a speculative spirit, and buyers have taken bold cautiously and In smaller lots but the consumption has goes on about the same assortments wben reduced have been replenished in the same careful manner as at first, snd this quiet has given an exaggerated impression of the prevalent dullness of trade. We think that fewer goods will be carried oyer la first hands this year than last, and the losses through a decline in prices have not been as sxtensive as In some former seasons. It Is pleasanter to do business when there Is more apparent life and spirit, but not always mors profitable la tho end to all Tho movements of Cotton are reported by tho Financial Chronicle as follows By special telegrams received by us to-night from tbo Southern porta, wo are la possession of the returns showing the receipts, exports, Ac. of Cotton for the week ending this evening.
