Aid. Barnard being next called upon, said that in calling him to the chair thoy had constituted him Speaker of the mooting, and according to pajliamentary usage tho Speaker never has got anything to say. He felt that an expression of thanks was due to the company, whose guests they wero, for the very liboral and complete arrangements mado to secure tho comfort and en parts of the country. If this lako was situated in Switzerland or Arabia our travellers would cross tho Alps or the Isthmus of Suez to obtain a view of it, but whoreas it is only a fow hours travel from our own doors few of our citizens care to exploro the beauties of tho vicinity. Summer tourists in search of tho picturesque, the romantic and tho beautiful should pay a visit to Lakeland.

Returning from tho lako a lunch was served up, which was partaken of with admirable zost, the drive In tho inelastic wagons, which we would recommend to dyspeptic patients as a sovereign balsam for their ills, having whetted tho "hungry edge of appetite" and given to tho excellent viands provided in great abundance a double relish. The party having once more entered tho cars and the iron hoiso being trotted out wo proceeded to Grcenport without encountering any notable adventure. One or two slight incidents occurred sufficient to vary tho monotony of the trip. When near Riverhead the roar car of the train became detached and was left behind. The engine was reversed, the train was backed, and the car once nioro hitched on and the trip mo.

A Trip to Greenport on the Long Island Railroad. JV number of gentlemen proceeded from this City to Greenport yesterday iu a special train of the Long Island Railroad, In acceptance) of an invitation extended by the company. The Legislative branch of the city government as represented by Aid.

Barnard, President of the Common Council, and sotno twenty five nicmlcrs of that body. Of the executive detriment there wore present Comptroller Lkwis, Auditor North hup, Tax Collector Woon, and J. M. Perry Oommisslonor of Repairs. The Chief of Police and several of his aids joined the party.

Among the other guests were Hons. J. Greenwood, N. B. Morse, II.

A. Mooie, John Dikeman and several prominent members of the Bar, Ex Mayor Talmaoe, Taos. J. Gerald, J. A.

Dayton, R. Brainard, and many of ourmost distinguished, and inflnential citizens were present. The Press of tbo consolidated city was liberally represented, and the recording angels" were on band to chronicle such notable events as might distinguish the occasion. It seemed as if all the official dlgnitreies of the city had vacated their posts of duty for the day, and Brooklyn might feol that so much of her glory and dignity as were embodied in her municipal representatives bad departed from her. Sheriff Lott and sovcr members of the Board of wero also in attendance.

The time of departure being eight o'clock, A. the party assembled at that hour, at the depot at the South ferry and took their scats in the cars three first class passenger cars being in readiness and few seats wore vacant when the large.party had assembled. Having arrrived at Bedford an addition was made to the company, that being the most convenient point for some of the invited guests to meet the train. The morning appeared cloudy and threatened to interfere with the pleasure of the excursion, but as the day advanced the atmosphere cleared up, and by the time the train was fairly started a clear sky and brilliant 6unshine brightened the aspect of the scenery along the route. The fields were waving with golden grain and nodding with red clover, where herds browsed luxuriant indolence the farmers were engaged in harvesting operations which seemed to progress favorably, none of the iil effects of the late rains being anywhere visible The cars being propelled by an engine of great power and Telocity, dashed along like Childe Harold's ship, which was so "Staunch and strong, The flcotest falcon scarce could fly More merrily On portions of the route a rate or speed amounting to upwards of fifty miles an hour was attained.

The cars stopped at the various stations along the route to enable the gentlemen to witness the improvements which have recently sprung up along the line of the railway, chiefly in consequence of the facilities it affords for communicating with Brooklyn and New York. The cars Stopped at Deer Park, the residence of Mr. Wilson, who purchased a tract of land, some years sinco, consisting of some five hundred acres, which was covered with dwarfish shrubbery, and commenced a series of improvements, which have resulted most satisfactorily. Mr. Wilson erected an elegant country residence, with the necessary farm buildings lie also brought some fifty acres of ground under cultivation, and its fertili.

fcy has more than answered his expectations. It was purchased at an aero, and the market value of the improved portion of it is now no Jess than 8100. Much of the soil of Long Island possesses manv of the natural elements of fertility, and would auiplay repay the expenditure of capital laid ou in its cultivation. As the road traverses the most barren part of the Island, a considerable portion o1 the soil along the line of march seems composed of sand and other sllclous compounds, laid out as pasturage for grasshoppers. Occasional efforts at vegetation were visible in the shape of stunted weeds and consumptive looking huckleberry bushes.

Other portions of the soil are more fertile, and bore evidence of productiveness In the weighty crops which waved before the breeze and promised to recompense the efforts the husbandman. The Long Island Railroad has done more to open up the capabilities of the Is land, and lead to the investment of capital in Hs improvement since its establishment than ould be accomplished In a century hy any other means. A few miles more brought the company to Lakeland, a flourishing village, containing about a hundred dwellings, and rejoicing in a handsome and agreeable location. About 15,000 acres of land was purchased in this neighborhood some years ago by Mr. Chas.

Wood, of New Tork, and under his auspices the improvements now discernible have been made. School houses, sawmills and other Yankee institutions are either established or being established. Onr party were invited to visit the lake from which the village takes its name, and which is situated about a mile distant a number of wagons being in wailing, into which the gentlemen scrambled promiscuously, the numbers exceeding tho accommodation of the vehicles considerably. The wagons had been constructed before springs and elasticity had been connected with that branch of art, and as the way was rough and stony, the scat "as as comfortable as a fusion ofbroken glass or tn penny nails. However, the exercise of a little stoical fortitude brought us at last to the summit of the eminence from which the lake bursts upon the iew.

It is a really beautiful sheet of water embosomed in the centre of picturesque woods which are mirrored in its pellucid bosom as they wave upon its banks. A Mr. Wild of New York isnt present erecting a large summer lioarding house on the bank of the lake and a more appropriate place for Invalids or quiet lovers of nature to spend the heated term of summer could not well bo imagined for in the language of the poet, "If there to be found in tin, world, A heart that is humble might hope for it here." The beauty and attraction of the locality ought to be sufficient to draw summer visitors from all subscription, aud no longer wage war with his ncigli own stall a Kcene of like intrusion. Th golden rule "to do into others as wa would that othors should do unto us," is a lesson in itself and no ono will bo a looser by heeding iUi precepts. Respectfully yours, E.

Procure yourself to be appointed chairman of tho building committee by a promise of large donations from yourself and friends. 4th. After having conimittod the congregation to your appointment, take particular pains to insult ami procure the ill will of all the neighbors of tho new buildihg and the owners of property in tho vicinity. 5th. Having accomplished so much, draw up nnd publish various atlauks upon yourself in the ucwu papers follow them up by other publications laudatory of your public spirit and disinterestedness.

0th. Write anonymous letters to the men whom you havo injured," espousing their quarrel, nnd if possible stimulate them to some overt act of retaliation. 7th. If you do not succeed in this effort, then gather uj all tho newspaper attacks upon yourself which you have published from time to time, put them iiito pamphlet form and distribute them far and wide, through the post office, among individuals in tho congregation and elsewhere, taking special Indus to accompany the publication with sundry newspaper paragraphs expressive of indignation that one so good and so generous as yourself should lie so shamefully assailed. 8th.

Take pains to have sonic ono who is most likelv to be acquainted with your antecedents aecus od of1 tho publication in order to put the public on a false scent, and to denden the force of nil exposure, if it should come from that quarter.

On the 2Sd of July, the cupola of the Court House is Taylor Virginia, was struck by lightning whilo the court was in session, and a large number of persons within the build ing.

One man was instantly killed, and several others prostrated, some of whom wer ('severely injured. The Fnirmount irgtnian snys Our informant, who was in the court room at the time of the occurrence, represents tho scene as a most terryfying one. 'The buildingappcared to him to be coming down bodily under the pressure of some tremendous weight, lie instinetly felt for a support. Collccting his thoughts, however, the nature of the occurrence was instinetly evident to him, and he and tho other persons ran out at the side doors of the building. Just then, the screams of some ladies on the other side 01 the street convinced them that a sad calamity had resulted, and on reaching the building the character of tho calamity was visible to all.

Stretched on the bricks lay a number of persons; in the midst of them the cwnuded body of the Rev. Hazekinh Dunham, the young man who was killed, and whoso person had been stripped of every vest age of clothing. Fortunately for the sufferers, the persons present knew the best method of restoring them to consciousness, and soon dragged them out into the rain, nnd commenced dashing water upon them. After the sufferers found king in tho entry had been eared for, the jury roomsnVove wero visited, and in ono ofthese were discovered three more individuals who had been so stunned as to be unable to help themselves. Two of them were token out into the rain tho friends of the thirdfrom mistaken kindness, would not let liiin be taken ont, and ho consequently suffered much more than his companions.

Of the persons shocked, some recovered so as to get away from Pruntytown tho same evening yet on tho next morning, (when our informant left), there were still six or eight confined to their rooms, if not to thoir beds, and one or more of them in a very precarious condition. One. man was considerably scorched by the heating of a pair of spectacles which ho had in his pocket. Another's watch proved so attractive thnt it was partially fused. Diantussixo JIohtautt.

Eithor of tho gentlemen named, I have no doubt, nro abundantly able to take care of themselves, and will liardly stultify themselves nnd earn the title uf "demented" by making an affidavit before a Commissioner of Deeds, that the child he brought into the world ho is ashamed to acknowledge us his own.

Common report (and wo bolievo she lies not in thin easo) has for a long time given "Stophon" tho credit of instigating, originating and causing to be published, rueh and every article contained in this most delectable pamphlet, and who has been pleased and proud until nvw to be considered in that light.

And what was tho object of all those movements Why, no more nor no less than an insane (what else can we call it desiro to wroak unholv vcugoanco upon the head of an honorable, high minded gentleman, and through low veinreii'ieo.

The absurd folly of trying by uuch means to prevent the successful consummation of suuh an enterprise is so apparent that he who attempts it surely deserves the title of insane. Common report like wiso says that Stephen subscribed $500 to build this very church, and when called upon refused to pay.

It is to be hoped that that in this case common report lies, for the credit of human nature and honest manhood lot it stand as such as a most foul and calumnious lie; wo hope such it will prove to be. We v. i i. wouiuiani ue uunvniccu, auu bujjpose we must, oe, alter the that he bad no hand in its printini aud circulation, though the oft repeated declarations aud promises to neighbor and friend, as well as the notice through the EaijU of an intent to print, would seem to afford room for a vert 'little dmiht. Men sometimes do things when scarcely conscious could it be possi ble tnat tins was the case in tins instance We do not wish to think ill of any man, though we must to a certain extent judgo of a man's present by his past acts.

However, let us throw too broad mantle of charity over all aud seek to forgot and foririvc. Such I am quite sure ib the case with the gentleman who mm oecn so vmuicuvuiy pursued ana sought to bo most cruelly injured and the society with whom "Stephen" worshipped would, 1 am sure, upon proper acknowledgement, receive him back within itc folds.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn, Eaijle Dear Sm: Permit mo through the medium of your popular, and widely circulated journal, to give expression to a few thoughts thoughts, the result of recent investigation of mine investigation prompted by a desire to get at the truth, and by aid of its powerful lever, if possible to extirpate the deep seated roois planted by prejudice, to pay nothing worse. The result of my most careful examination goes to show, (to me most conclusively,) that for period, nigh unto one year, a scene of calumnious attacks upon tho fair tamo and reputation of a Gextikman, has been actively going on the offense of this gentleman being that he had engaged to aid, with his money nnd his ability, the Clinton Avenue Congregational Society, then under the ministration of the Rev. Dr. Lansing, to erect a house of worship befitting the section of tho city, in which they worshipped, aud affording church nnd Sabbath school accommodations of character such as heretofore, this pnrt of Brooklvu has had nothing to boast of, with all its wealth and opulence combined. Well this gentleman was no foolish as to suppose after yielding his judgment to the wishes and superior wisdom ofthc venerable and aged Divine, who, for twenty years, has been his warm and nll'ectionnte friend, luit he would "be permitted in peace and quiet to devote so much of Ins tune ana ana wealth, as he could spare, towards the furtherance of such a glorious enterprize, as erecting a building to the glory of the Most High and heavenly Architect.

But, alas! fur human hopes, and fond anticipations, how soon may dissimulation blast the one, and envy and malnec crush the other. A very lew weeks sufficed to show this gentleman his error, had he nt the onset been actuated by a sense ol gain, or was he to have received pecuniary benefit in any way, he would at once have thrown lip all connection" with the undertaking; but higher nnd nobler motive governed him, and ho persevered up to a period when broken' health compelled him, for time, to desist, only to renew his exertions more actively when his recruited energies would permit. In this; as in other enterprises, there were found those, who, to gratify their natural proclivities, throw every obstacle in the way, nnd failing of their object slanderous abuse, 'slander the foulest whelp of next filled their mouths with 'lying words and made most hellish meals of good men's and to what an extent they herald forth their venom; nearly every resident within a mile of the place can testify and with a virulence, that as is usual tho case, lias turned the tide of vengeance from the slandered, and heaped 'coals of fire' upon the head of tho" falsifier, and the weapons that he fashioned and used with such a keen relish, and with such diro intent, arc now turned against him, and ho has abundant opportunity to wish 'he had not gored his neighbors ox, so Hint his own might have been Sympathy bestowed to such a man under such circumstances', is, as 1 view it, much like granting alms lo the sturdy beggar, who, but the moment before, (could ho have found tho opportunity,) would have stabbed you to tho heart, and rifled tho bleeding corpso of its possessions. he singling out of this gent, nnd th vindictive malignancy with which for so long a period, these attacks have been kept up indicates clearly tho disposition prompting them, and has aroused feeling of indignation that the nuthor will find no small task to allay. In proportion to this malevolence has the reputation of the society, and the character of Mr.

I sincerely nope the uuwortny opposition Uiey iiuvo joyment of all present. The prosperity of Long Island, he said, depondod upon the railroad on which they had travelled during the day.

Suffolk County was once said to bo a very benighted county, but light had been lot In upon it by tho Railroad Company. Whilo millions had been spent to build the canals in the Slate, Long Island had not been considered, and though the citizens had paid their portion of the taxes, thoy did not get a return of tho benefits of taxation by local improvements. The Island was now separated from New York and the railroad had effected tho separation. Instead of going to Now York to ballot for Congressional candidates wo have now two Senatorial Districts of our own, and the population as exhibited by tho census now taken will show, us entitled lo become a sepcratc Judicial Dis trict. Whilo we pay our sharo of the taxes for improvements in other parts of tho State, New York was endeavoring to cripple the progress of Brooklyn, as an instanco of which ho referred to the infamous harbor bill of the last session of the Legislature.

Hon. J. Greenwood being next callod upon, proceoded in his usually felicitous manner to give expression to the satisaction ho felt at the happy manner in which tho excursion had passed off and the pleasure which all had experienced on the occasion. Time pressing, aud the company haviug reach ed the cars, which wero ready to start for home, further speaking was impossible, and tho follow ing resolutions were put and carried unanimous ly That the Long Island Rnilrond Com puny, bv if persevering devotion to the interests of the people ol Long Island, for Heries of ycnin, have vindicated their claim to the public confidence mid res poet, and it is the fixed policy of the city ol Brooklyn and of Lonjf Island to extend to the road i hearty and encouraging support. Jiesolued, That the thanks of the trucsts are due to William E.

Morris, the President, and tho Directors of the Road for an Excursion in all respects agreeable, and which has enabled us tho better to understand tho resources of Long Island and the importance of the Koad to their development. We cannot let the occasion pass without adding our individual testimony to the liberal and courteous spirit displayed by the company in all the arrangements of the excursion which wo hope may be regarded as the inauguration of an "era of good feeling," and the establishment of a perfect entente cordial between the company and our municipal authories and that the harassing and vexatious opposition which it has sustained, and which wo have deprecated from tHe first, are at an end. Opposition to steam and progress is not according to the spirit of tho age. It would better become the antediluvian, snail paced fogyism of the year of our Lord 0001 than the enlightened century in which wo happen to exist. We shall hardly sco steam replaced by mules and Pennsylvania wagons, nor tho tele graph supplanted by the mail coach of tho olden time.

The fortunes of tho L. I. Railroad arc identified with t.hn prosperity of Brooklyn, and upon its success depends the development of the internal resources of the Island. Tho Asia arrived at Halifax yesterday morning, with dates from Liverpool to the 21st ult. The intelligence she brings is of no great importance, beyond what we published yesterday.

Mr. RoEBi't'K'ti motion for a vote of censure on. the Government, after being debated at great length, was thrown out in the nouso of Commons by a majority of 107. The Palmcrston Ministry has therefore a new lease of life. The general prospects of the war wero not encouraging.

The successes and losses of the Allies before Sebastopol seem to bo about equally ballanccd. The Sardinian and Turkish forces have again withdrawn from the valley of Baidar to Balaklava. The report is confirmed that the Russians have received reinforcements. Accounts from Asia stale the Russian army, under General Muraviepf, had invested Kars, while a small army corps had advanced upon Katais and was pressing the Turkish garrison of Batoum. Tho Black Warrior dis pute is at length definitely settled, the Spanish Government agreeing to pay an indemnity of a million reals.

In one of the New York Courts yesterday, another decision was given, which still further limits and restricts the operation of the prohibitory law. Ono of the many persons recently arrested for being drunk, and committed in default of money to pay his fine, was taken out on habeas corpus, and discharged by Judges Oakley and Duer, on the ground that his commitment did not state where the offender was found intoxicated, By the terms of the law it must be in some 'store, grocery, lane, street, or public Fatal Accident on the Hcdson Riveh Railroad A little after 10 o'clock yesterday morning as the train was on its way from Mnnlmttnnvie t0 iork, a brakemun went on top of tho cars to take off the bell rope, when coining in contact with small bridge, lie was instantly killed. The first intimation of the accident was given by a young ludy, who seeing something red dripping down on a gentleman's coal, and supposing that the cars had been lately painted and paint running off, called his attention to it, when it was found to bo blood. The ears wore stopped, and on looking on top of one of them, the poor fellow was found lying with his brains dashed out, and dead. His name was James Fitzgerald.

He resided in Albany, and leaves a wife and two children. Coroner O'Donnell hold and inquest upon the body, and the jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. Deceased was a native of Ireland. 'St years of age. Wc are requested to say that it is not the limit of the Gas Company that the lamp in front of the 5th Dint.

Station house does nol give as good light as it should. The limit lies in the burners, with which tho company have nothing to do, they merely supplying the gas, it being the duty of tho city lo provide good burners, which in tlmtiustaneo has leen neglected. A New Wav to Raise Beans. A gentleman at Seneca Falls, N. last spring planted some Lima beans.

Not being provided with poles, he supplied their place by planting in each hill sunflowers, trimming up the stalk, bo that it served the purpose of a pole. For a time all went on well, till at length the sunflowers, growing so much faster than the beans, the latter were absolutely drawn up by the roots. Ono of the Aldermen, while standing on platform, had tho misfortune to lose his hat which was Mown off, and as there is no law to provide for the capture and restoration of fugi tivo hats, the chapcau was pormittod to take its departure by above ground or under ground railroad, as tho breeze might direct. Had there been a brick in the hat, its specific gravity might have caused it to drop off, but its proprietor be ing a strictly temperance man forbids that sup position. The party arrived at Qrecnport about half past one o'clock, and repaired to the Pccon ic House, where an elegant and sumptuous dinner awaited their approach.

It is needless to say that ample justice was done to the good things of tho table, which were discussed with marvellous dispatch. Dinner over the excursionists distributed them selves throughout the village to inspect its at tractions and the beauty of its environs, The Peconic House is a fine, commodious hotel, and seems to be crowded with fashionable boarders, who have sought Greenport in preference to Saratoga, Newport, Cape May, or the other more celebrated watering places. The opportunities for enjoyment here are little inferior to those enjoyed by the places mentioned, and it is becom ing more and more a favorite place of summer resort. At live o'clock the party proceeded on board the Sag Harbor and Greenport steamer, for a sail in the Bay. The cool, bracing breeze, which broke the surface of the water into silvery ripples, possessed a delicious coolness after the heat of the day, and was greatly enjoyed by all present.

The vessel passed Sag Harbor and steered around several of the islands which stud this part of the bay. On returning an extempore meeting was called on deck. Alderman Barnard being called upon to preside, and A. J. Spoo.nkr.

being chosen Secretary, N. F. Waring, addressed tho meeting, and said that less than half a century ago there was a sign placed across Fulton street, near the ferry, informing tho public that stages were run for Hempsted, Babylon and other places between Brooklyn and Montauk. The stages were kept by Dod Downing, and on Tuesday and Friday they carried the mails. He.

started on one of the mail stages at ten o'clock on a Tuesday morning, and in three days lie reached Montauk point now the same journey in per fonucd in five hours. And this was accomplished by the ingenuity, the industry and perseverance of men having the interests of Long Island at heart, fine of these men was a gentleman present on this occasion, John A. Kind. When there wore grave doubts, which amounted to ccr tiinties in some minds, whether a railroad could be constructed from Brooklyn to Jamaica. John A.

King said that he would see that it was done and when the Long Island Railroad Company was smarted he was the first man to shake hands with the new company and tell them he would unite with them in the great enterprise weich has done so much for the property of Long Island. Before this company was established the produce of Long Island had to be carried across the Sound to New London and transported from that to New York and Brooklyn. The trade that passed out of our island is now kept within it. the business done by the New London people is now done on Long Island. All this we owe iu a great measure, to the energy and perseverance of the present head of that company.

Jcdue Dikeman was next cal cd upon and proceeded to review the manner in which the Railroad had been conducted, and the ill founded prejudice the company had sustained, resulting in annoyance to them and the public. He did not, hesitate to affirm that instead of complaints coming against the company individuals who have made those complaints have been benefitted in the aggregate by the company more than any other part of Brooklyn. But for the Long Island Railroad company the population of Brooklyn would be one fifth less than it is, and the taxable value of real estate in tho city one fifth less than it is. It was within his own memory that the land around the South ferry and the rest of South Brooklyn was cultivated fields. When the company was incorporated negotiations were made to fix its location in Atlantic street.

Acres could then be purchased in this vicinity for what lots cost now. The Railroad company was importuned to make its terminus at the South ferry and there would be no ferry there to this day but for the railroad. Passengers were taken by the railcars to a place called Paumentier's Garden, and thence to the ferry by horse power. The horses became a nuisance, and the inhabitants requested the company to run steam cars through to the ferry the bill was too steep, and as the grade of the street could not bo altered, the company agreed to build the tunnel on condition of being permitted to uso steam, which permission the Common Couneil granted, at the request of the inhabitants of the street. This tunnel cost and lie would ask in the name of common honesty if persons who have purchased property with steam on the street had any right 'o demand that steam power be driven away and tho use of horses again restored 1 As to the cry of monopoly, he ould wish see the same number of gentlemen who composed this company embark an equal amount of capital in any other enterprise.
