Port Richmond, Staten Island, Aug. 8, 1850. The Romantic Beauty of Staten Island Sights I from the Hills The Fishing Season Commo dore Hepburn on a New Station Classification of Tastes Weather Bathing, This is a beautiful island, and contains, in its circumference, some romantic Bpots, unequalled in their way by any in the country. The drive from this place to the sea shore is one of picturesque beauty over hills whose summits afford you an uninterrupted prospect, as far as the eye can reach, of the most enchanting variety. You can see, on the one hand, the rivers and meadows and hamlets of glorious, battle renowned Jersey, embracing, in a single sweep of the vision, a dozen of her abautiful villages, a thousand harvest covered fields, and terminating abruptly against her ranges of hills and mountains, which seem to rise square up to the clouds and form a partition wall to creation looking just as if you would have to drive round to get to the other side.

In another direction you can discern the great cities of New York and Brooklyn, looming dimly through the smoky clouds which Beem to be always hovering over them the emblems, no doubt, of the darkness which shades the souls of your toil worn, dust covered, hot breathing city prisoners, whose lives are a monotonous round of joyless labor and artificial, sickly pleasure. And then, again, you turn towards the sea, and command the entire scope of the magnificent entrance to the harbor of New York, brightened all over with the sails of outgoing or homeward bound vessels of ail sizes and shapes, your view fading only with the horizon itself. Why, sir, a half hour's gazing from the apex of one of the tall hills here, is worth all the fashionable amusements of a lifetime in your oven like cities. But I shall ptobably speak more fully of the beauties of this little "gem of the ocean" at some other time at present, I wish to say some, thing to your many saline disciples of Father Izaak Walton The little, rapid river which separates our island from Bergen county, in Jersey aforesaid, which enters at New Brighton, and courses along three or four miles to the mouth of Newark Bay, opposite Port Richmond, is called the Kill van kull, or more commonly, the "Kills but whence it derived its LATEST NEWS.

Eliot in. New York. A serious riot occurred in New York, yesterday afternoon, growing out of the strike among the tailors, the particulars of which appear to be as follows: It appears that a body of tailors went to the house of Frederic Wartz, who was accused of working under price, and gave him a severe beating. Captain Freeman and a party of police arrived at the scene of disturbance and attempted to arrest a man named George Short, who was urging, in German, the rioters to further deeds of violence.

In the Senate, Mr. Pearce, of introduced a bill for the settlement of the Boundary of Texas, to pay Texas $10,000, 000 for that portion of New Mexico claimed by Texas, and lyiDg north of 36 80' the money to be appropriated by Texas to the payment of debts incurred by her, in the prosecution of her war of Independence. The California bill was taken up, and pending a motion for the engrossment of the bill, the Senate adjourned. The House, after some unimportant transactions, went into Committee of the Whole, laid aside the California bill, took up the Post Office bill, and talked out the day, but did exactly nothing.

Falling of Buildings. Loss ok Lives. The Journal of Commerce, of this morning, contains the following account of two disastrous accidents that occured in New York, yesterday Another Fatal Disaster. About 20 minutes before 2 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, the large, six story brick building, No: 40 Spruce street, occupied by Win. fc Oliver Hoyt, and in course of en iargement, fell with a tremendous crash, burying a number of laborers in the ruins.

The Cnief of Police, with his aids, and as many men as could be advantageously employed, were immediately on the spot and exerted themselves for their recovery. There were eighteen men in the building when it fell, and it was subsequently ascertained that seven or eight of them were more or less injured, and two killed. Three were taken from the ruins shortly after the catastrophe, and sent to the City Hospital. They were all shockingly bruised and mangled. In the course of the afternoon, the man gled bodies of two others were recovered life entirely extinct.

One' of them was that of the foreman or boss mason, generally known as Henry Marsh. His real name, however, was J. I. Cooper. He was a native of London, and resided in Columbia street, where he has a wife and child.

His limbs were broken in almost every joint, and his body much disfigured. The other body was that of John Nugent. His position would indicate that he was forced by the falling timbers aeainst the corner of the iron safe, which penetrated his Eide.and caused the bowels to protrude. A large stick of limber rested on his shoulders or neck. It was a long time before it could be released from its position.

The sight was horrible in the ex treme The accident was caused by placing an undue quantity of brick on the upper floors of the building in course of enlargement, causing them to break. The superincumbent mass, with timbers and boards, was precipitated through the lower floors to the cellar, buryiDg all who happened to be beneath in the ruins. Still Another. About 6 o'clock last evening, another accident of a similar nature to the above, occurred in Mercer street, between Grand and Broome. A new building was there in progress of erection, for John D.

Wolf, to be used in connection with his jewelry store, about to be opened in Broadway, as a workshop. A space intervened to the northward, between that and a brick carriage house. Workmen had begun to demolish the latter, to make room for Brougham's Theatre, which is to cover fifty feet front on Mercer street. The gable end, it appears, was not properly secured, and it fell over, striking the side wall of the new building, which was also instantly prostrated. Nine of the twelve men at work in it were buried in the mins.

Five of them were soon released, with but slight injuries. Another one, however, named James Cassidy, who appears to hae been ascending a ladder, was struck by a timber, and felled dead. He lived at 208 Mott street, near Prince. A second, named Ward, a resident of Brooklyn, was seriously if not fatally injured. He was taken to the Hospital.

Owen Boyle was also much injured, and a man named Tom Minturn. A Daguerreotype of California taken from life. A California correspondent of the Kenosha Telegraph, who formerly resided in Wisconsin, does not seem to be very much in love with the climate of the golden land. Its gold is hardly a compensation for living under such a gridiron climate but perhaps he is a faultfinder, who never gives correct impressions of any country. Hear him: If there was no other spot on God's green earth where a man could live but California, I should advise him to build an ark and take to the water.

Of all the miserable climates that ever froze an Esquimaux, or crisped the hair of a ne gro, this takes the palm. From the 1st of November to the last of March, there is nothing but rain and mud, and mud and rain, in endless variety and ceaseless succession and from March to November, there is nothing but dust, and sun, and shine, and dust, and blow and if a green thing can be found fit to eat in any patch of ground, (there is not a decent garden, as is a garden, in all California, from the snow top of Sierra Nevada to the sands of the Pacific,) it has been coaxed out of the earth by some one (who was lunatic enough to leave a decent home) standing over it with an umbrella all day, and emptying water upon it at night that has been brought seven miles, from the river. This country is no more fit for a family to live in, than the crater of is for an ice house No schools, do churches, no morals, no Christianity' and no God but the Trinity of whores, whiskey' and gold. We get nothing to eat but what has come round the horn. Every thing has been twice melted or baked at the equator, and once frozen at the poles.

Our very necessaries are the miseries of life. Could you kt.ow, when we are frying our lean, rusty, stinking pork, and the wind was fair, I have no doubt you could smell it in Illinois.

The Louisville Courier states that in a block of buildings in Cincinnati, consisting of four houses only, there are seventy five families residing. The houses are four stories high, and four lower rooms occupied as wholesale stores, and the upper rooms filled "with Germans. In each family there are from five to teD persons, who pay from $2 to $4 per month rent, according to advantage of location and space occupied. Good advice. If girls will kiss, let them perform the ceremony as if they loved it.

Don't let them sneak about the thing as if they were purloining cheese, nor drop their heads "like lilies o'erspread with the rain."

8 of this work is just published. In thiB number we are presented with a faithful likeness of William Hickling Prescott, one of the most distinguished lawyers New England has ever produced. As a classical scholar few can approach him. He graduated from Harvard College in 1814, with distinguished honors. While a member of Harvard, he accidentally received a blow on one of his eyes which deprived him of his sight, and as a natural consequence the other became weakened, and he was ultimately deprived of the partial sight of that also.

In hopes of finding relief, he made a tour to Europe but alas, he found it not but received an increase of health. Foiled in his professional plans, he turned his attention to literary pursuits. The results are his history of Ferdinand and Isabella," which describes an importuit era in the affairs of Europe; next, his conquest Mexico; do. of Peru; and he is now engaged on a history of the reign of Philip the 2d. His biographer, Mr.

Lester, remarks that Mr. Prescott has done that for his country, that few men have been permitted to do, and of a quality that insures to him the permanency of the fame he has acquired The lineaments of this great man's features are noble and highly intellectual.

C. Harry's fricoplne ROUS, OR MEDICATED COMPOUND. The world placed upon its guard by the almost daily detection of some plausible humbug, now examines and tests every new article with scrupulous care, and nothing that is not intrinsically good can long flourish. Barry's Tricopherous has been subjected to this ordeal lor ten years. Every year its reputation and sales have increased until more of it is consumed annually than of any other preparation for the Hair ever offered to the American public.

The discovery that it will cure diseases of the skin, and cause wcunds and ulcers to hoal and close, relieve all external inflammation, and. reujoye the pain and itching incident to stings, bites, scratches, cuts, burns, scaUs, has greatly enhanced the sale of the article, and it is now known and used for these purposes, as well as to renew, beautify, and cleanse the hair, in every city and town in the Union. Its extraordinary cheapness places it within the reach of the humblest family, and its conceded value insures it a place os the most luxurious toilet. Mothers find it the sure est remedy for the cul5, and other accidents of their children the age praise it as a cure ibr ihejinitism, and all the aches and pains to which the muscles are subject; and the emigrant to distant lands purchases it as an absolute necessary in his outfit.

SKINNER, Dentist, has returned from the country, and will be in attendance at his residence, corner of Montague Place and Henry street) at all hour, Brooklyn, Sept. 17th, 1840, 6n tf queer cognomen I have never learned, or else have forgotten most likely the "latter clause of the proposition." Well, these Kills are now in a Btate of ferment, from the effects of a stroDg sou'wester, and an extraordinary arrival. It is well known to you that our waters have, from time immemorial, been the resort of myriads of finny monsters the fighting bass, the ferocious sheepshead, the voraciouB blackfish, and many other varieties which have made constant war upon, and stsccessfully demolished all the bait that could be brought in front of them; and notwithstanding our inhabitants have always been ass ist ed, to a goodly extent, by many of your gallant citizens and neighbors, they have utterly failed to exterminate this sub aqueous army. Although "innumerable numbers" have been captured, yet the "cry is still they come," and, at the present time, in greater force than ever before at the same season. Indeed, the prospect is, that they will present a force during the next three months, that for numbers and fierceueBS will never have been excelled.

Our "native force" has been found totally inadequate to cope with them so, in council of our best leaders, it was determined to solicit assistance from your city. Accordingly, an appeal was made to Commodore Hepburn, of the Hamilton avenue station, whose gallantry in the service entitles him to be called "veteran," for aid in our emergency and we were much rejoiced to receive hiB favorable answer to our solicitations. The gallant Commodore forthwith equipped afleet for the service, and, taking personal command, entered the Kills a day or two since, and came to anchor at this place where, to our "much" satisfaction he announces hiB head quarters to be for the fall campaign. Since his arrival, he has had several conflicts with the enemy, commanding in person, aDd at each time made very gratifying captures. His whole force is constantly employed, and he is about making additions to his fleet.

The vessels of the sturdy Commodore are light and "trim built wherries," in prime condition, as well calculated for rough as smooth weather, and elicit the praise of all the many adventurers who daily man them for the purpose of gratifying the inherent and all pervading sanguineous bent of human nature. The Commodore can alwayB gratify every varN ety of taste in this warfare. He will send your Free Soil b'hoy straight into a swarm of blackfish your Old Hunker sportsman, who "lays low" for the choicest bits of game, he puts on the scent of a cunning sheepshead, or wary bass your dainty Whig of the Fillmore regime, is anchored among the weak fish the Seward clique is given to the flounders while the out and out practical Abo Amal gamationist is handed over to the tender mercies of the slimy eel and the double headed toad fish which latter delicate creature will Buit him to a nicety, being a fitting representative, in form and feature, of a full blooded, freshly transplanted African belle, especially about the mouth. Come down, some fine day, in the steamer Huguenot, from the west side of the Battery, and try your hand in this line. You will find all the creature comforts of the season in abundance, and, if you wish them, pleasant companions to share the sport with you.

The weather is excessively hot, but we have cooling breezes to offset the sunshine and there are spots of beautiful sandy beach in the neighborhood where you can lave your thirsty body in the pure flood as daintily as your most fastidious notions may desire. Come down, and try. Yours, Striped Bass. Letter from Ranger. Garret Place, Aug.

Editor of the Eagle Sir Is it customary in that part of the Jaraies" from which you wns fortunate enough to emigrate, for editors to parade the private and confidential notes of their conttibu tors, for the amusement and comments of every idle reader of their respective papers I would hope, in charity, thnt you are a mere isolated example of this species of meanness, and that even in you the impropriety is the result of a vulgar obtuseness, not at all contagious or common with the somewhat peculiar people amid whom you I were reared, I am willing to allow much for th man, but Mr. Short demurred, and furiously as. assaulted the officer, tearing his shirt from his bosom.

A general right now took place, in which dirks, pistols, and slung shots were freely used. Both parties were finally reinforced, and the fight became general all along the street. We copy the following from the N. Y. Herald: But the house of Wartz, at Thirty e'ghth street, where the conflict first began, was the focus of the fight, where the combatants fought with desperation.

The police, on their return there, found the Germans engaged in the attack upon the dwelling, and they made some arrests. Then the battle be gan in earnest. Stones and brickbats fell in vol lies upon the police, while others assailed them with knives, daggers, clubs and pistols. They numbered about two hundred, snd the police about twenty. Tne latter being larger and stronger men, and all armed with clubs, and disciplined to act together, played havoc in the ranks of the tailors.

They knocked them down right and left. Not a policeman who did not, on an average, lay proatratc with Lio el ul 012c mon. Sinma of the police, however, were severely wounded. Assistant Capt. May was cut in the head with a slung shot.

Officer Sweeney was also struck with a slung shot. Officer Seeley was badly hurt in the head and back by stones. Officer Birmingham was stabbed in the hip with a dagger of from two to three feet long. Officer Roche was stabbed in the back with a knife. Officer Thomas was knocked down with a club, and the skirts of his coat cut off.

Officer Gregory was knocked down with a Btone. Officer Reddenburgh of the Sixteenth ward was severely injured. Assistant Captain Seabring, of the Ninth ward, was among the wounded. In fact, there waB Bcarcely one policeman of tne ttiree wards, tnat was not more or less injured. But, after all, they had the beBt of the battle.

They gave more than they received, and they won the battle after a desperate conflict. Part of the time it. appeared to be a more formidable not than that at the Astor House. One of the officers shivered his club in his hand with the blow he struck a man on the head. Ultimately, they made forty prisoners, who were nearly all more or less wounded, some of them seriously, some of them, it is feared, mortally.

The blood flowed in profusion over the faces and clothes both of the police and tailors, and the scene was more like a battle field than a civilized city in the enjoyment of peace. Here and there lay the wounded some of tbem appearing to be dead. There was one tailor named Cook, sent to the City Hospital with the back of his bead so smashed, that there is very little chance of his recovery. We invite the attention of our readers to the letter of ''Striped Bass," in our paper of to day. Mr.

Bass is well known to us as a gentleman of rather if aly pretensions, although a most fin ithed scholar. He has selected the Eagle as his "organ" during the fishing season, aDd we shall doubtless hear from him Bemi occasionally, if not oftener. Seeing the Elephant. The value of ivory annually consumed in Sheffield, England, is said to be 30,000, and some five hundred persons are employed in working it. The number of tuBks to make up the weight consumed, about one hundred and eighty tons, was 45,000.

According to this, the number of elephants killed every year was 22,600 but supposing some tusks were cast and some animals died, it might be fairly estimated that 18,000 were killed for the purpose. This is not a fish story I would advise the assessors who assessed Fifth street and Dunham Place, to take their bills to Brooklyn, to Judge Johnson, and get them taxed and use a little in the shape of grease they might slip through easily.

The above extract which we clip from a communication in the Williamsburgh Independent Press, goes to show the independence of that sheet pro tan to from the vulgar qualities of truth and discretion.
