New York letter of Wednesday says: "The suspicion that Mayor Hall had perma? nently retired from office was dissipated by hi? resumption of duty there this afternoon. No sooner was he seated at his- desk than he waa; beset by numerous .newspaper report? ers anxious to obtain a statement from him as to what he has been doing during the past ten days' retirement; but as his Honor was not In hlnoeuai communicative mood, the gentlemen of the press, had to go away no wiser than they came." -The Massachusetts Legislature ls discuss? ing the question or Belling the famous school ship In which so many distinguished visitors to Boston have been Invited to dine, and on which Dickens made a very handsome speech to the boys.

In some of the leading departments of wholesale trade there IB an activity not always notice-1 able so early In the season. Merchants from Louisville, New Orleans, Ga'.vestos, and other remote points, are here in considerable num? bers, while Savannah and Charleston houses are beginning to put In an appearance. The Cincinnati and St. Louis peepie are expected along in the course of next week. On all hands the anticipations are lu favor of an unu? sually brisk spring trade commencing earlier than has been the rule of late years." -Advices from Brazil to the 7th ult. repre? sent that the emancipation movement ls gradually changing into a genuine enthusiasm on the part of the people, who are liberating their slaves throughout the empire with entire willingness and spontaneity. Tue bill, as lt j stands now, does very little for those who are now slaves; and, as the Liberals are very J anxious to obtain the supremacy, it is almost sure that the subject will be brought up lor further legislation next session. It ls the opinion of shrewd politicians that the present law 1B only the first ol a series of laws that wnl j be annually passed until not a single slave ls \ left on the soil of Brazil. IQ the meanwhile, as if In anticipation of the slow march of legis-1 lotion, the owners are solving the problem by taking the law Into their own hands. The I president ot the Province of Rio Grande de Norte heads a movement which has fur its ob? ject the establishment of a society for the libe? ration of existing slaves, as well as for the rearing, educating and apprenticing of the children of slave mothers. -The benefit performance extended to Ma? tilda Heron at Niblo's GardeD, New York, Wednesday, was not only given with a most worthy object, but also an exceptionally In-1 teresiing entertainment. The net receipts amounted to something over 14000, a very handsome sum and very acceptable to the re cipient. The programme was colossal. First, two young lady pupils of Miss Heron's appear? ed in Camille and won no little applause. I Then Edwin Booth appeared as Petruchlo, ! and with the fall of the curtain Levy claimed the attention of the audience with one of his cornet solos. The Filth Avenue Company then gave the third act of "Divorce," and ?John Brougham, with Wallack'a Company, played "His Last Legs." JLaura Keene camel next, in a scene from the ?School for Scan? dal," and she was followed by Master Boselle, Mr. Gassin, Charley Backus, Sheridan and Mack, Rollin Howard, Sturges. and the Ma jtltoos. At the conclusion Miss Heron came before the curtain and .thanked the audience In abrief speech,, in the oours? of which she adverted to the lalse reports about her con? duct in St...LO??S and the persecutions which ' she has-had to undergo. She was very much affected during the delivery ol the address, had the vaet audience displayed similar emo? tion. _ Hallway Extension Southward. The very natural endeavor of the Penn? sylvania Company, aided by Walters & Co., of Baltimore, to seenre uninterrupted com m ni) ?cat ion with all parts of the South, meets with the equally natural opposition of minor companies along the routes of throngh transit. An effort is being made in our sis? ter State to invalidate the lease of the North Carolina Railroad. On both sides of Rich? mond, Va., impediments are in the way of | the Pennsylvanians. On the north, the | Fredericksburg Railroad steadily hollis out against the persistent attempts made by the Scott-Walters, combination to eflect a lease or a parchase. On the south, the Bichmond and Petersburg Road was obtained after a hard struggle last winter in the Virginia Legislature, but the Petersburg Road lead? ing to Weldon is yot to be secured. Many believe that it wi .1 be mastered without much difficulty when the proper moment arrives. Whether the railroad wars which agitated Virginia a year ago are to be re? newed we have no means of knowing. At present the Virginians seem fully occupied wita the public debt and the subject of taxa? tion. Occasional articles on the subject of a general railroad law appear in the Bich-, mond papers. One of these papers charges Mr. Tom Scott with perfidy in urging the passage of this law, bis object being to get rid of the obligations to sundry projected railroads incurred last year when be was hard pressed for votes. Ia fact, Scott finds himself in rather a tight place. He is evi? dently in no hurry to fulfil bis promises, and yet. if be fail to do so, he will bring about bis ears a hornet's nest of enemies, who will be eager to defeat bis general railroad law. Bat tbe Railroad Eiog ol the Key? stone State is accustomed to tight places, and te the methods of escapo from them. He is patient withal, and abundantly able to wait Hts vaulting ambition may overleap itself, and bis Pennsylvania Company may smash, but sooner or later the extensions he is seekiDg will be accomplished-perhaps by another man. The consolidation of lines of traffic is a corollary of political centraliza? tion. It is as profitable to deplore the one as the other, and resistance ia either case, however protracted, can have but one ter? mination. Money is omnipotent-in these Th? Flak-Mansfield Correspondence. A perusal of this correspondence, about which so much bas been said, and from which so mach was hoped by the scandal loving public, will scarcely repay the reader for his trouble. There is nothing very pru? rient in it, and very little of interest, except in a legal point of view, and as an index of the character of the parties involved. Fisk appears to better advantage than might have been expected. His grammar is bad, of coarse, bat his sentiments are above tbe level of mere animal passion, and, at times, rise tb the elevation of something akin to puro affection. He Beems to have enter? tained for Mansfield more than a passing farrcy, to have become fascinated by her, and even goes so far os to characterize bis feel? ing, for ber os "holy." She, on the other band, thought only of herself, and bow mach she could make oat of ber victim making good the old adage that a bad wo? man is worse than a bad man. It ie true that Fisk's passion waxed and waned, as even the noblest of haman emo? tione will, but, had she proved faithful to bim, it is probable that ber hold upon him would have been indefinite. How or why she was induced to exchange tbe Prince of | Erie for Stokes does not appear in tbe let? ters, of which few of ber own are given. Stokes was a handsomer man than Fisk, and that may have had something to do with it. The woman was a simpleton, as ali such women are. She played her cards badly. Fisk, too, was a fool. Wby any man, and _ particularly a man of the world like Fisk, should allow sentiment to blind bim lo tbe real character or such a woman is a mystery, or, rather, would be such, were not the story so old and oft repeated. There can b<* no doubt that be tried bard to over? come his evil propensities; to break off the connection with Mansfield, aud, as ho him? self declares, to say to the tempting devil, "Get thee behind me, Satan." He suc? ceeded, thanks more to Stokes than to bis own strength of will, but the woman would not let bim alone. She approached him again and again, for money generally, but sometimes for a personal interview. Fisk could never see her without being softened. His confessions to her of his own weakness will be wondered at by all those who looked upon him as a mere brute in body and soul. So far as the letters show, Stokes is the villain of the play-the worst by odds of the whole bad lot. He it was who insti? gated Mansfield to the attempt to black-mail Fisk. That there was such an attempt, deliberately planned and resolutely car? ried ont, is beyond question. In this at? tempt, Stokes found willing coadjutors among the lower class of lawyers, who thought they could make a good thirjgofj iL But the lawyers of New York do not appear to have followed the example of their brethren in London, who incited Arthur Or? ton to claim the estate of Tichborne. Stokes is the prime mover, not the lawyers. After he has accepted fifteen thousand dollars for i the Mansfield letters, after he bas signed the legal instrument discharging Fisk, he spends the money and renews the suit. Whether Mansfield encouraged bim to do this, the letters do not tell. Ihe trial will. The Blue Ridge Railroad. The interests or this great enterprise have again been committed to the keeping o' a new set of officers. At a meeting of the directors of the road, held in Colombia, on Friday last, the following changes In the management of the road were con sura mated : The resignation of Colonel Cothran was ac? cepted, he Btating that he had only taken the position of President as a temporary expedient-his business pursuits preventing his giving the necessary attention to the office. Messrs. Gary, Gulick, Butler and Palmer having resigned, their positions were Oiled by the election of Messrs. C. D. Melton, Thomas Steers, George W. Waterman, James M. Allen and F. S. Jacobs, the latter being also chosen Secretary and Treasurer of the company. Colonel John J. Patterson was elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Colonel Cothran. Thomas J. Steers, Esq., was elected vice-President. The Phoenix gives us the following assur? ance, which would be cheering indeed if we had not so often before heard similar promises which have never been fulfilled: "It is understood that this highly important "work-the completion of the Blue Ridge "Railroad-will be pushed forward rapidly, "all the necessary arrangements having "been completed." No Compromise with Fraud. The Columbia Phoenix copies, as informa? tion, the special dispatches to THE NEWS in regard to the fonding scheme concocted by the Ring and the New York stock-jobbers, and remarks: "We have no idea that this scheme is prac? ticable, even were it right. We oppose lt in toto. We shall resist every effort, come from what quarter lt may, to saddle upon the peo? ple of this State the Iraud bonds. The debt of the Slate of South Carolina the people ought to be able to pay, and the honest debt of the State they are willing to pay. But let the line of demarkaiion be drawn between the bonds good, bad and Indifferent. The credit of the State, under the present regime, is dead. Our finances are rotten to ihe core. The pyramid of fraud must fall. Let us meet our Just obligations, and the first duty before us is to ascertain what these are. And yet, omitting this-, we fiad our financiers engaged in tinkering. The effort ls to Baddie upon the poor taxpayers of South Carolina the fraudu? lent over-Issues, and thus substantially to compound with the bond swindlers. The question at Issue between the bond swindlers and the people of South Carolina must be settled first In the courts. After we have called the Ring ld account, it will be lime enough then to talk about this adjustment. We Invite the financial tinkers to help us, and not ihe Ming. As for the Union Trust Com? pany, we advise lt to go about its buslntss." The Columbia Union, strange to say, ignores the whole movement. Why is this thus ? _ _ What the Bondholders Say. The New York Herald, of Friday, in its report of the Stock Market for ihe preced? ing day, soys : "The South Carolina July issues advanced to thirty and a hair, or Ave per cent., tluce yesterday morning. The real character ol thc negotiations at prosent on foot between punies in this city and lu Columbi* is not cleat ly understood, but so far as they point to any .repudiation. ?uch_fta proposed lu a co.mT, pounding of the outstanding debt at fifty cents on the dollur, they are vigorously op? posed by holdets of bonds who paid more than fifty. 2Vte buyers at low figures do not object, of course, to a measure which jiroposes to give tliem. fifty cents for what they have bought al twenty to twenty-five cents; but the parlies most luteresled are, alter all, the great ma joiily of investors who purchased South Caro? linas a year or two EInce when the Stale was honorably paying its interest. These parties are quite willing the State should default In the Interest for a season or two rather th an they should submit to such a wholesale repu? diation ot the principal of the debt." Source* of Oar Population. , The statistics of passengers who arrived at the Port of New York during the year 1871 are Interesting as showing what nationalities enter the most largely into our composite population. The total arrivals are summed up by a contemporary, from the statistical tables, at a little over 270,000. Of these, 40,000 were citizens returning from abroad, leaving as the number ol immigrants 230,000, which, we believe, ls about the same as last year. Germany furnishes more of these than any other nation, which ls not surprising when the area and populousness of ihe new empire are taken into the account. Her con? tribution Is 88,601. If, however, Great Britain ia treated as one nation, which she is quite as much as Germany, her delegation ls the largest, thus: England 51,027; Ireland 50,220; Scotland 10,154; Wales 1224-making an ag? gregate of 112,625. Sweden follows with 10,000, while Norway sends only 2700. France contributes 4000; Denmark, Switzerland and Italy about 2000 each, and ihen the list tapers off rapidly until lt reaches Greece, whoae genial skies were abandoned by only seven of her sons and daughters for the sterner climate of America. fastener's Silters. pa AN APPEAL TO REASON. Health woald be mach more carefully guarded than lt ls at present, and the average or human lire lengthened by many years, If common sense and the light or experience were accepted by the universal public as their medical monitor and guide. The true philosophy ol heal: li ls simple. It consists lu refraining from Indulgences and imprudences which impair the vital forces, and In supplying any dencleucy of vital power and constitutional vigor that may exist, by invigor? ating and alterative treatment.
