June 5 tf OUR NEW YORK LETTER. From our Special Correspondent. New York, October 25. Probabilities of Specie Payments. The fall in gold., and the probability thai the market must still further decline undei the large shipments which have but begun from England to this country, warrant the belief that par will be reached before Con< gress meets in its ordinary course. For the first time since the disappearance of the precious metals in 1861, it seems possible tc restore coin to its proper place in the circulating medium of the country. The circulating medium does not now seem to be oxcessive. We have only to "tecp it at its present amount; allow values gradually to settle themselres to its measure and take steps to improve the medium itself. To improve the medium it is not necessary either to lessen or to add to it. It must neither be contracted nor expanded It must be held firmly at the present point, and a gradual substitution of coin for currency be made as fast as gold appears in circulation at par; a . t- j. r-- ii a. permanent piaee must oe inaue iur i? m mo circulating medium, by a retirement of an equal amount of paper. The guage of this transfer will be the prioe of money when it rises above seven per cent, in the financial centres, the process mast be stopped. When it falls below this amount, it may be always ?afely resumed without any cbange in values. The chief element in this process of substituting of coin is, the sum of specie now here, or which may be hoped for, in the course of the coming year. It is indeed a strange anomaly, that tbie country?the new Eldorado of the world?the great producer ->f the metals which the universal experience >f mankind has chosen as the standard of ralne, should be the only country where these metals are disregarded and cried down is relics of barbarism, unworthy of our age. \'et so long as we mako a part of the Gnancial world, we must, in. some form, accommodate ourselves to the standard of value in general use. SOMETHING MAGNIFICENT IN THI HOTEL LINE. The Windsor Hotel, situated ou Fifth \ venue, corner of 46th street, is undoubtedy the largest, finest and most oomplete hotel n the world. The architectnral design and izternal appearance surpass in beauty, inything ever yet attempted in hotel buildng, in this country. Upon entering the *rand hall, by the main entrance on Fifth a.venne, the visitor is sfctuck Jjj ?ta extent ind magnificence." The splendor of Ihis .'rand entrance hall prepares the visitor for :he sumptuousness of the upper floors. The adies' corridor and drawing looms on the itory above, are models of elegattce, the architectural arrangemonts being #b keeping with the details of tbo cabinet and other work. Now that the visitor is fairly in the hotel, tho thing that most attracts his bewildered gaze is the uniquo and and deli cato finish of the fresco work?tho ceilings rf the staircases, as well as the parlors, being painted in the most beautiful designs. The cost of this elaborate frescoing alone was 535.000, and it is safe to assert that no such art istic display, on so grand a scale, has ever been attempted on thiscontinent. Nothing, yet seen in the industrial exhibitions of any country, has surpassed tho cabinet work of this hotel. Like the fjescoing and other matters, there are no glaring colors, heavy mouldings, or startling creations about the work, hut a studied unity of all with the various surroundings. Tho scientific, as well as tho art visitor, will find much food for thought in examining tho various specimens of foreign and domestic woods, which are used in the decorations, some of theui being almost unknown in thi3 country.? Throughout this hotel from the lower floors to the uppermost story, tho furniture is eqally rich and costly?absolute comfort being the first consideration?easy chairs being found in all the bedrooms, and there is nothing which ladies and gentlemen expect to find in their own homes, that is not at thoir disposal at the Windsor. Tho gas fixtures have been manufactured expressly for this house. Paris and Brussels have long been noted for this branch of manufacture; but here we have examples of what Aaierican skill can produce, which is far superior to anything ever seen in those capitals. Brass work has certainly reached a high degree of perfection in this country, when such splendid chandeliers and pendants can be made, as are found in this building. The gilt, broDze, and enameled work are a study in themselves. A novel idea has also boen put in practical working at the hdies ontrunce on Fifth Avenue. Ladies covered with dust from travel or walking often object to seeing their friends in the drawing or sitting rooms, and elegant apartments have thereforebeen' appropriated for their requirements, where they can await the nrrival of their friends staying at the Hotel. This room ir contiguous to the entrance porch, and ladies will therefore have all the privacy they need. There are four grand stair cases, which lead from the ground to the ladies' floor. Tn ad dition to this ample means of oommunica tion, is a handsome elevator, the most sump tuous of its kind ever manufactured. The rlnnrs and coilinL'B nre of entrraved plate wv"""r "* " o *. < glass, and visitors enjoy daylight in the ascent until nightfall. Carrying out the original design of this hotel, the roouis or most of the floors have been built in puits ol apartments, so that families maycnjoj*th< absolute privacy and aecluainn of homo life Thus, two or more bedrooms with dining sitting, bath and dressing rooms attached may be engaged?all communicating bj double doors 'with each other, and in th< same manner isolatated from other portiom of the building. The gontlenion who wil conduct the Windsor, are Mr. iSatn'l. Hawk so well known as tho principal of tha St Nieholas'Hotel, and Mr. Garner Wetherbee, of the Revore House, Boston. We must pals rapidly over the portions of this house, as the parts described embrace the principal work and heaviest expense; but as hu. niunity generally cares for comfort alone, without seeking to know how it is made com, fodtable, we may be spared {he trouble of ( giving any more lengthy details. FASHION GOSSIP. ( Figured goods have disappeared altogether. The present style of stroet dress does , not admit of them, excepting, indeed, an almrto* invioihla strine which affords no con trast in color, and is formed by reversing the diagonal. This and the new "Indiana" , cloth are the only "fancy" styles to be seen ( among the new Fall importations. Indiana ck)th is a soft, all-wool, self-colored and small-tufted fabric, presenting *a roughened , ind irregular suface. very becoming to women whose delicate complexions become smoother and fairer by contrast. It is rathbr expensive?about 87 per yard?but very wide, so that only a comparatively small quantity is needed. It is used exclusively for redingotes, the skirt being of silk or a plainer material. Bat camel's hair cloth, sometimes called vigogne?literally swan's doiwn, from its softness?wilj be the material generally used in variops grades and qualities, and the uanal half cotton imitations. As a successor to the wide striped bliek grenadine, there is striped camel's hair cloth, which is particularly adapted for polonaises. It consists of a stripe of cloth and a stripe of osmel's hair, and presents an effective example of color upon eolor, which is so prominent a feature of fashionable toilets. a Lanci. Horrible eaftringe of the Poor la Paver Stricken Memphia. [Correspondent* of the New York World.] Memphis, October 17. Wlian T ltd in vnn it wna mn. " ? j? ? a? er*l belief bere that we had seen the worst of the terrible scourgo which for the last month hidmidj eur city a city of death.? The light frost which came at last seemed to have some effect in lessening the number of persons attacked by the fever; bat the relief was only temporary, and almost immediately the death rate ran ap again to an enormous figure. It Is now asserted? perhaps not on the most certain grounds? that within the eleven past weeks 1,500 persons have died of the disorder. Hsd the avenge number of deaths for the whole time been what it has baan torn lh? pa* -wfer??tiriy ffirty a day?we should have to record about 3,000 iu less than two months, i number unparalleled in any visitation of tlfft yellow fever in this country. It is iu vain that one attempt* to portray the LAMENTABLE CONDITION OF THE CITY, where all business save that of the undertaker is perfectly stagnant; where the poor are thrown out of employment, and have nothing to think about but their present misery and the vast probability of their dying in want and deserted by their friendp. They oome together and talk only of the scourge, which even more than others they have reason to dread. Notwithstanding all the endeavors which are pat forth to allev iate suffering, physical and moral, it is im possible to do so with anything like thorough ness. Men and women make heroes and martyrs of themselves, but a#uot do itaore than slightly oppose tho rushing current of death which sweeps them and those they would help together into the gulf of death. Two noble women, young and beautiful, named Mattie Stevonaon and Lula Wilkinson, are now lying desperately ill of the fever at the Walthall Infirmary, the victims of their own disinterestedness and philantropy. The former, a uutive of Illinois, was visiting some friends in Bloomington, when intelligence that Memphis was in distress reached her. Saying nothing of what she intended to do, she immediately set out for this city, and, reaching it, OFrZRED HER SERVICES to the president of the Howard Association. She was but niueteou or twenty years of age, and inexperienced in such duties as she would have to undertake should her offer be accepted. At first tho president was inclined not to accept bcr services, but she insisted, and was sent to Lehuer to await orders. That night a Scotch woman, ill of the fever, was delivered of. a child, and there was no nurse at hand. Dr. Blackburn sent T .L i?c.._ ?_ j \f iu vnc ucuuvi uuuog tut uuv, nuu 1*1100 uw venson volunteered. She nursed the poof pntients tenderly until they died, and then went to the aid of others, nursing an old man and woman iu Main street, who had that very morning taken four orphan chil, dren under their protection, two of whom were also now ill. Afterwards she was sent to a house in Sallivan street to take charge of five patients. The severe labor she un, derwent told upon her system, and ou Mon* 1 day last she herself was strickeh down and taken to the infirmary, whero she lies in a critical condition. Miss Wilkinson, an orI phan about the B&uie age as Miss Stevenson, . also offered her services to the Howards, . was accepted, worked heroically, and now . lies tenderly cared for under the same roof . us the other lady. She is now thought to , he out of danger. Other women have per) formed and are performing similar duties , and living up to the highest of woman's , rigts, a glory and ornabiont of their sex. p Memphis will never forgot them. The , friends of the dead are sometimes obliged to dig graves for them in the oemetery, so great is THE DEMAND FOR GRAVES ? ! now. Sad as these scenes are?as when a i father, in mute anguish, prepares the tomb i for a beloved daughter or son, or the has1 band places in the cold earth the body of , her who was dearer to hiui than his own life . ?they sometimes were accompanied with ludicrous circumstances, ir death can evei be thus accompanied. A few days mo i young man died who numbered among bit friends and many of the "boon companions' and ropterers of the city. Several of them determined to take the body to the cemetery and see it properly eared for. They were at the time under the influence of liquor.? The coffin of their friend was taken from the hearse and laid beside several others, sc that the hearse might immediately return to the city for more dead bodies. When the grave was dug the young men who had used whiskey freely, could not tell which was the coffin they wished to lay iu it. To settle the question they drew lots, and and the corpse upon which the lot foil was interred, though not one of the mourners could positively say whether or not they had interred their friend, The most horrible and di8qu8tinw levity , is sometimes to be witnessed. Night before last I entered a little honse not far from H&ddv Hollow, where, while a corpse was lying stark and stiff on a wretohed settee, men and women wer? sitting round crooning and drinking, and one young man sat hope* lesaly drunk with his head resting on the leg of the dead body. Others were reeling about and looked at me with vacant ana stupid ferocity as I entered to see that the body should be removed. But these are sights which are simply sad and disgusting. A friend of mine was to-day on his round in search of persons down with the disease, and, knocking at the door of the house 63 Jefferson street, was answered by a boy who told him that tnere was a shoemaker named Armstrong up stairs sick, and perhaps dead. The visitor shook the door of the man's room, bnt receiving no response, burst it open, and there, lying on its faoe on ths floor, to whieh it had tumbled from the bed, was the hid* eons, ghastly and bloated form of Armstrong, who had evidently died several days before* alone and uncared for. He had contracted the fever while nursing his partner, who was MwiVd tn the oemeterv tns week before. The ferer haa received new namoe, being called not onlj by ite old title of ' yellow jack," bat also "bronse jaok," "taffiron jack," and even "johnny vomito," to you may too how much of bravado and careleaaneas, or the affectation of it, there is in Memphia. The feeling which prompts to sneh levity is partly hysterical, bat partly also the result of growing FAMILIARITY WITH THE PISTIL ENOE, for in this case as in others, strange as it seems, familiarity breeds contempt. In sucli tiros also it iaa red relief from the misery by which peSple are sSmSVed to make a joke, dthoagh any personal applieation of it is sore instantly to awaken dosing fear and rouse a paroxysm of indignation. Two friends met the other day in Exohange street, and were talking at first seriously and then in a trifling vein about the fever, when one?a well-koown practical joker? suddenly said: "Why, what's the matter, Bill ? Tour face is turning yellow as an orange!" Hardly were the words oat of his mouth whea he foand himself lyiog oa the ground, knoeked down by a blow from his friend whose face was not yellow, but only a little placr just then. People's fares are apt to get white now when any such remarks are made. The police^bsve had hard work of it, and have well done their duty. They have been called upon to do ALL SORT! OF WORK to take chafge of orphans, to bury the dead, look after the sick, seo to theives and robbers (by the way, a church haa been robbed of some of ite most important ecclesiastical furniture,) and, in abort, to work like alavea. The oity owes three months' salary to the police force, some of the members of which are in great distress on account oi aeains in men families, and several of whom have died of the fever. The police of the different oitiei of the Unoin might not be doing ill should thej raise a subscription for their distressed brothers in this city. The destitution among all classes except the rich will last for some time after the black frost shall havs come and relieved us from any distress from the fever itself, and to aid in the amelioration of this suffering much money will vet bs needed. Winter is coming and though it it not so severe here as it is in the North, ye( it will occasion a great amount of distreei among the poor if money shall not be forth coming. After the plague has disappeared there will be widows ana orphans to be cared for, and people whose health has been broke! down by the severest sieknses and suffering In my fast letter I took oceoaeion to tospeal of the D1YOTION or THl CLK&8Y. The Protestant clery have been everywhere devoting their lives and energies to the al leviation af the siek. They nave knelt b; the bedside of the sufferers aud oheered than in their last moment of life; have gone infc palaces and hovela, have done their dot; wherever duty called them. Many of theo have fallen victims to their seal ror numani ty. Not less patient and enduring have beei the Catholic priests, five of whom have diei of the fover, contracted in the line of duty First died Father Daily, and then Father Carey, O'Brien, Lee and Sheehy. In sei there was no distinction of sects; all clergy men worked zealously as their oalling d< manded. The physicians were, howevei best of all: they were everywhere, ready a ' -? .1 1 a moment's caJl to enter tne most IUWIJ UVI1 and do whatever they could to relieve euffei ing. But why discriminate thus? Whereve human nature needed aid there were hnma beings to afford it. The froete seem oomin in euch a way that, we doubt not, in a fe1 days they will kill the germs of this most ei eorable and deadly fever. We believe the 1 will come soon.

Within the last day or two we have to | calved word from various parts of Ntw S*> . of a oonosrted movement to elosi tha eojMl 1 mills and other manufacturing nlfililpi ( meats, or to ran them on half time. W ostensible reason ofthis action is the searptf [ of currency for the payment of wages; m$ it is evident to as that the real oMeet is not the one so commonly avowed. The move' meat is not epontaneous. Some of those who have readily assented to it, have dons so only at the suggestion of others; while many have yisldeaegainat their coavictiOaf to a pressure they were not able to reeiat A few large oonetrnl still hold oat in spite of the arguments and coercive rhetorie of lie originators. The methods employed to shears the combined action of all the Ufc fetish conclusive proof that not for seldpreteetion, or for the personal eonvenienee of the promoters as employers, has this scheme been devised. We do not say that Us adtooatee are not honest !n their intentions, and do not believe that it will resale in the iaeieete of the general welfare; but we do ine^st that it is a measure deliberately undertaken as n means to another and, and is not one feted upon the maaufaetorsrs br the piessoin la the money market, sad the eeercitv of earrency. .One object to be attained ie ladoubtedly tde lemoning of pnoduetiet aid thus the stability of market priest fe the inished prod sot of the mills: but take it, 6 the least powerful fed is.

Thb Natural Duration of Ian.~?JLeoording to Professor Faraday, the crime ef suicide is very common in this afl of the world, for he intimates that all who die under one hnndred years of see may be chaig* ed with self-murder; that Proridsuoa, bav* ingorigraslly intended man to lifo a century, would allow him to arrive at that advaaoea age if tie did not kill himself by eating unwholesome food, allowing himself to m annoyed by (rifles, giving licsnss to pasrion, and exposing himself to aocident.
