OUR IJW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. Julien's IVomenade Concerts.- The French and Austrian in New York. Increase of Spanish Population. Scandal among the Aristocracy. New York, Dec. 13th. The success of Jenny Lind in this country will operate for a long time in supplying our fashionable circles with the entertainments ef Europe. New York is like London: its oiHiono are so much engrossed in business that they ' have not time to amusa themselves, nor do they possess the art of doing it. In other parts of the world, the refinements and elegancies of so cial life aro cultivated with a view to profit, and the best markets for thenl are England, Russia, and America. As these three nations possess the mast ample means, and hold the balance of power in the world, they can afford to be muni ficent to those who lighten their toils and sub due their barbarism by such elegant kinds of pastime. Mons. Julian has long been figuring 111 the fashionable arena. Twenty years ago the popular concerts a la Masard were all the rage in Paris. They were intended to illus trate the power of instrumentation. There are CO performers in Julien's band here, one third violins, one tourth bass viols, and the remainder wind instruments of brass, clarionets, and kettre drums. It is astonishing to see so many per formers plaiti)r the Fonjreet and -iriost difficult pledeS v.-ith such perfect t?me and accuracy. j The original idea of promenading in the Inter- i missions might be carried out in London and j f ans, at Concert Uarden, and the Kue St. Iloh oro, but there are no such facilities here. We have not advanced so far in the science of cn tertaimuenu. With all of Julien's merit and perseverance in Paris, his labors were unprofi table, and five or six years ago he concluded to his fortune in London. At first, he was suc- j - - cessiui, out nis amoition led him to venture U1KJ1 Theatre-. managing, and tnat brought him i down again. 1 hat ambition was fatal tu him I as it had been to Delaporte, Delafield, Tumly, J and Kcau, who all sunk large fortunes upon the 'expansive London Theatres. After that Julien I put his concerts down to a shilling sterling, and I finally embarked for this country, where he has met with a miceesslui reception, lie is an ele gant and accomplished man,, prepossessing in appearance aud youug in looks. Tbe ladies think him handsome. ; lie does not lay claim to any vigorous talpnt as an original composer ef music.butis skilful in adapting the composition? of others, and in making up medleys and vari ations. His late is wanton and Frenchified, and bis conceptions of musical tones arc commingled with sentiments of love and lasciviousness. If this is the secret of our initiation into the iriyu teris of refinement, it had better be let alone. The Katy-did Polka, an invention of Julien's, which has become so popular here, might with more propriety ue styled ' lhe Harlot s Uance. j The peculiar chirping noise introduced into the air might be recognized by a set of crickets, but not by Kary-Jids. The greatest concert given by Julien, was on last Monday evening at Metropolitan Hall, for the benefit of t'ne St. George Society. .It was of course largely patronized by the English. The Hall will contain, wheH-entitely full, about 10, 000; there were between 7 and 8 thousand pre sent, lhe continuous pieces, although admira bly executed, were not so much admired as some of the Solos, two of which, one on the contra basso, by Bottesini, ami another on the cornet-a-piston, .by Herr Koenig, were performed with matchless skill aud taste. In the concert mentioned above for the bene fit of the St. George Sli'ciety, Julien was allow ed $2,000 for cxpensckj The Society received about twice as much, j There ii an obvious increase in the Spanish population in this city within a few years past. A larga Spanish boarding house was opened a few months since, at the corner of Broome and Crosby streets. The cigar trade has been one of the prominent causes of this accession. A strange and unfortunate affair happened here during the last week. Mr, Juo. R. Stuy vesant, of the well-known family of that name, while on a visit to the city, from the country, (he lived at Stuyvesant, a small town on the Hudson, this side of Albany,) called on a Dr. Seymour and his wife, who practice on the clair voyant system. Mrs. Seymour, (who turns out to be another Delilah and woman ofSorek,) in gratiated herself, and te'.Ving Mr. S. that her husband was in Boston, she &ave him a night key, and requested him "to call again next even ing. So be did, and while they were undress ing in tbe witch's chamber, in pops the indig nant husband to demand satisfaction. It was a preconcerted affair, and, to hush up the scan dal, Mr. Stuyvesant conveyed to Seymour the title to a house and lot in 10th street, worth ?10,- 000. Next day, upon bis affadavir, the parties were arrested, and heldto bail for conspiracy. On the following mornings when the trial was to continue, news came of Stuyvesant's death, of cholera, during Hie night, and the proceed ings were quashed, and the prisoners dischar ged. It is conjectured that Mr. S. stung with mortification and sharna, committed suicide. This happened at his mothers residence, -nd Avenue, and St. Mark's Piace. She is a widow lady, far advanced in life, lives entirely alone, and is very wealthy. The Stuyvesants, all in herited large fortunes, butgot pretty well through them, when, on the death of theiruncla, Peter G. Stuyvesant, six or seven years ago, they each received one hundred thousand dollar. At the death of the old lady, there will be ano ther princely distribution. They are a plain set of people, and take rank from wealth and family name. Mr. Jno. R. Stuyvesant was turn ed of 50, and leaves a wife nnd family. He certainly was in a false and awkward position, but a full blooded man of pleasure and fashion would have found a good many expedients to extricate himnelf, instead of being driven to des pair and destruction, by the plots and intrigues of sharpers. As there is plenty of money in the family, the lawyers will be likely to finger some of it: lhe clairvoyant uoctor ana uoc tress will not be permitted quietly to retain the house and lot in 10th street. M. TIIE PRESIDENT'S IIOTJSE: The interior improvements of this edifice were fully completed several days since ; and they are such as to reflect the highest credit on all to whose skill the workmanship was entrusted. The east room is now in decent trim. Al though tbe paper on the walls is heavily gilt, and the frescoed ceiling, and the cornices, mouldings, and pilasters, are plentifully coated with irold leaf, yet there is nothing like tawdri- ness ; for the colors of the various pieces of fur niture, including the carpet and curtains, all agreeably harmonize.

Harper, .large numbers of girls escaped safely frbm tlie upper stories to the ground by means Of ladders some in the arm) of firemen, and some unaided. One (Miss Elizabeth 'i'otten, aged; 10 years) leaped from an upper window, not impelled by flight, but by the pressure of the fire, and dislocated her thigh upward and backward. Another young lady, Miss Adelia Cox, aged; 15 years, was missed lor several hours, but, working her way through the crowd, was found safe at homo at night. The buildings of the Harpers, sumo twelve in number, were not all that were burned. Two houses ot Geo. E. Cooiidge & Brother the very old school book publishers the wholesale drug store1 of W. W. Thayer, the once famous as a mansion, then as a hotel, now as-an emigrant boarding house ; the old Walton House ; and the Franklin Square HotiTl, on the oposite side ot rearl street, were also burned dowi i volutioiiarv times, the Walton House was the j head-quarters, first, of the British Governor, Sir I Henry Clinton, and. afterwards, it was thetem j porary residence of Geo. oshiugton. j The stereotype plates of the Harpers and ; they of Course keep stereotypes of all their works I are Kept in vaults under the streets, so that I most of them all that were not on some of their j forty presses, or cither just off or to go on are . safe. j The January number of their Magazine was 1 almost ready to be issued. It is said that they j are accustomed to take three sets of stereotypes I of each number, and that this is necessary to ! enable them to work it off in time for the day of j issue.

We believe that Hen ry Grinnell, Eq., had received a copy of th work, so that it will not have to be re-written as well as re-issued. The insurance of the Harpers w as effected in a great number of com panies, only one company having over J5.O0O. That one is an English company, which hns :in agency in Boston. ; By this fire about 1,000 bands are thrown out of work. The Tribune says that most of the stereotype plates of the Harpers, to the value of four hun dred thousand dollars, were fortunately stored in fire-proof vaults beneath tiie street, and are consequently saved. Plates to the value of about $10,000, as nearly as can be judged, were in dif ferent parts of the bunding, aud are lost, lhe last sheets ol Harper lor .December had just been put to press, and the whole are gone ; the Pictorial Bible, another publication ol impor tance, is w holly destroyed, besides others too numerous to mention. A correspondent from Indiana sends us the following, with appropriate avouchings of its truth: " At the breaking of ground' for the commencement of the Lynchburg and Tennes see Railroad, at Lynchlcnrg, the Rev. J. E., by appointment, acted as chaplain on the occasion. At the time appointed for prayer, the chaplain raised his hands, and said, Let us pray.' In an instant all hats were doffed, and the chap lain commenced, slowly and solemnly, to read a very appropriate manuscript prayer, which he had previously prepared. During the redding of the prayer, an old negro man, who had been engaged with his spade, was resting, with one foot on the spade and his arms on the handle, looking very intently in the chaplain's face. At the conclusion of the prayer the old negro; straightening himself up, remarked, audibly, ' Well, I reckon dat's de fust time de Lord has ever been written to onde subject of Railroads !' " Suicide in Yadkin Jail. We have been furn ished with the following particulars of a suicide committed in the Jail el Yadkin County, this week : Maskel Jester, who had been Some weeks since committed to jail in Yadkin county for cruel treatment of his wife, committed suioide on Wednesday last. The Judge (Court being in session) sent the Sheriff to tbe jail for the pri soner: He returned with the nevvs that he found Jester hanging to the iron grate, dead. He had taken the thread from an old coffee sack and twisted it into a cord, with which he hung himself.

FOR THE REGISTER. 'Mr, Gales: I discover that the Whig Press throughout the State is beginning to moot the qopstion of holding, at an early period in 1854, a Convention, for the purpose of selecting a Gubernatorial candidate.1 This I siin glad to see. It is an evidence that the party is buck ling on its armour, and preparing for a bard fight i-in 1854. I also perceive tho names of several distinguished gentlemen mentioned in connexion with the office of Governor, any one of whom, I doubt not, wouid honor the Guber natorial Chair of the old North State. Like most other men, I have tny first choice, but I wish it distinctly understood that I am for the nominee of the Convention, provided he be a thomugh-gt i ig Whig, and in favor of North Ca rolina's receiving her proportionate part of the public lands, or of tho proceeds of the sales thereof. This will certainly be a " sine qUa non " vtfith me in voting for any public officer, either, State or National, whoso election will have any bearing, either directly or indirectly, upon this question This has always been a WThig measure, and although several leading democrats have come out boldly in favor of it, and others doubtless will soon follow suit, and tinallyi claim it as a democra tic, measure; as they did the Compromise bill, yet, the Whig party should cling to it with ns much tenacity as the feline race does to vitality. I hope that no Wlig in North Carolina will vote for a'13' inran for the next Legislature, who will not peiige himself to vote for a land distrioutionist for U. S. Senator, anil none other. The policy pursued by several of our late Congresses in giving' away every alternate section to the new States, for the purpose of building railroads, is ruinous to the old States, and should be stop ped. But I am about to write a dissertation upon the" public land question, which is not the ob ject of my communication. I merely wish to tell lhe horusc and sturdy yeomanry of the j good ojd North Statu whom" to" make their next ! Governor. His nnnrf? has lieen mentioned in I connexion with the. office, but it was merely 1 meivnined.- 1 will endeavor. Mr. Gales, to -do iinething more. I will tell u his name, and i then I will in and tell vou something of the i man. I allude to EDWIN G. READE, of Per son. JLiving in one of the strongest democratic counties of the State, and generally, too, in a democratic distiict, and perhaps, also, unwil ling ty abandon an honorable and lucrative pro fession' to engage in the nrena of political war fare, he hns hitherto neither sought lior been honored with any office of honor or profit. This is one reason why I wish to make him the next Governor of North Carolina. Were he f consent to become a candidate for the office of Governor, it would be more in obedience to tbe wishes of his fellow Whigs, than for any profit which he would expect to receive. A man of sterling worth and pure morality, he is general ly loveij .ind admired by his neighbors. As a barrister, I think that he is not surpassed by any man of his age in the State. He is, withal, a self-made man. Descended of poor parents, and left at'an early age the sole support and protection of his widowed mother, for whose support and his ow n he had to toil hard, one can easily imagine what a deal of labor and pe; severaiMce his education cost him. lie is, .upon the w hole, just such a mar, as the citizens of North Carolina would like to clothe with the Gubernatorial mantle. An honor to his mo ther, who gave him birth, and an honor to his native State, he would also honor the Gover nor's Chair of North Carolina. He is a man in every sense of the word, and it is with such'men as Edvin G. l'eade that the people of every State should endeavor to fill their public offices. I do not know that he would constat to become a candidate, but I do believe that he can be tri umphantly elected, and I hope that the Conven tion, wqen it assemble, will not overlook his claims. 5 .

On the last occasion, however, the virulence of the attack was so alarming, and the inflamma tion set in so severely, that doubts were enter tained of her not being able to bear up under it; fortunately she was induced to try your PiriTIs, an she informs me that after the first, and each suc ceeding dose, she had great relief. She continue to take them, and although she used only, three boxes, she is now in the enjoyment of perfect health. I ctruld have sent you many more cases, but the above, from the severity of the aUdet,- ai the speedy cure, I tlijnk, speaks much in favor ef your astonishing Pills. R. W. KIRKUS.
