American Watches.

The high premium on gold, and the increased rate of duty on watches, have greatly enhanced the cost of those of foreign manufacture, and it is now impossible to purchase a good watch, of English or Swiss. make, except at a very extravagant price. For the same cause, the cheapest qualities of foreign make, the worthless incres and Lepines which used the country, have nearly risen to the price at which the American Watch Company furnish their well-known "Wm. Ellery" watch—a watch of the most substantial manufacture, and an accurate and durable time-keeper. Our higher priced watches are relatively still cheaper. We have advanced the prices of our finer movements but about 25 per cent. since the war began, while foreign watches of the same grade cost three times their ante-war prices. Wholesale orders should be addressed to ROBBINS & APPLETON, Agents for the AMERICAN WATCH Co., 182 Broadway, New York.

" The equipage at Newport which throws all others into the shade is that of Mr. BELMONT, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. It consists of a low barouche drawn by four elegant, fiery thoroughbreds, with postillions mounted on the left or near horse of each pair. Two footmen in extreme livery are suspended from a high seat on the back of the carriage. The men are peculiarly well formed, having been selected and trained in Europe with especial reference to their build and the size of their calves; their livery is imported at a cost of $1000 a suit. The horses are valued at $25,000, the carriage at $5000, and the harness and other trappings at $3000. The stables of the Democratic Chairman are said to contain some forty horses, valued at from $1000 to $8000 each."—Letter from, Newport, in the New York Evening Post, August 26, 1864.
