SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE S.

UUItOa TO WHOM UO.IOR IS DUE. "We hare heard of a bot having been offered, and 'won by tbe rarty offering it, that twenty respectable signature oould be procured, in the city of Albany, ta a petition to hare the Rev. Sprngue, of that city, hanged. Reckoning upon tbe eareleaaneaa and good nature of hit acquaintances, the aportaman got hia lift complete in leaa than hair a day, and then, for odd, offered to get tbe iter. Doctor'! own name to head tbe lift.

The peraoa who took the bet, how-ver, wee alarmed, and declined ta increaae hia risk. This easiness about signing one's name to a paper that ia found in the hand of a respectable acquaintance, haa jut been illuatrated by a more striking ease, if possible, than the capital one to w.bioh we ive allakd. More than a hundred names bare Ltcn procured to a letter inviting t). S. Dickinson, to partake of a (ublie dinner in thia city, tbat tbe owners of tbe names may bare an opportunity, as they ij, of expressing their high appreciation of hia eer-Tiees in tho councils of tbe confederacy." Had this letter been addressed to the Rer.

Doctor Uprsgie, and bid the other memorial referred to Senator Dickinson, it ia not probable that either paper would erer bare attracted any attention, while both would bare received a hundred fold more signa tures in half the time but, tbat a hundred men could bare been found in the state of New Yerk, who are willing to say, in writing, that tbe state of New "York ia moat fortunate in being represented in the Senate of tbe Union by one tcAose patriotism, mars aibovt the levd of time-serving purpose, and whose eminent talents and moral worth Command rttpcc.t bulk in the elate he represents and in the council of the matum," and all tbe time mean Daniel S. Diokinson, is scarcely less startling than If the sheriff of Albany lad actually bung the innocent Doctor, in compliance with the petition of hia fellow eititena and friends. Yet auoh ia the character of a letter which appeared yesterday in some of tbe morning papers, and to Which, to our surprise, we find several respectable xtames attached. Of course we presumed tbat a'l the i'ewtcr Mug politicians would sign aoall for a dinner at any time, to any body, if they were permitted to participate for nothing, or which is the same thing to them, on credit. We should aUo ex-lot to see ainocg.tbo signers, all the circular men" whose efforts to defeat Mr.

Van Schaick for mayor mt the Inst charter election, and our state ticket last fall, achieved for them such an infamous notoriety. For both these reasons, therefore, wc were not Bar-prised to find the names of Ned Struban, D. E. Sickles, Kobt. J.

Billon, Henry M. Western, Garret 11. Striker, James Lee, and others of that ilk, conspicuous on the list. There aro many reasons, too, why such as yet sur-Tire of tho corps of patriots who, in l5o7, joined iu the invitation to Senator ti. I'.

Tallmadge to accept of them a public dinner, tbat they might bare an op. portunity of testifying their approral of bis hostility to the separation of bank and stato, and of bis famous declaration tbat "tbe erodit system is the distinguishing feature between despotism and slavery Should desire now to participate in tbe nutvemont making hero to sustain another lifeless and sinking carcase that is yielding to the law of gravitation, which, sooner or Inter, always takes held upon unfaithful public men. Such are tho kind of men to appreciate" Mr. Dickinson's services in tho oouncil of tho nation," and hence we are not surprised to find as subforibers to Loth letters: Charles O'Conor, who heads the invitation; James K. Whiting, who recently signalized himself, at tbe Compromise Meeting at Garden, by assailing' a judicial opinion cf tbe Supreme Court of tho state which resulted ia the liberation of a Negro who was claimed as a slave John J.

Cisco, who baa not yet been elected Mayor of New York, but like Barkis, "is willing;" Robert Dillon, who, we believe, made bis firtt public appearance at the Tallmadge dinner, and hia last at the codfish and gravy soup collation, a few weeks since, at Tammany Hall, and who doubt less yearns for an opportunity of offering another toast like hia last, suited to the times, and the progress of events lleory Storms also, Gideon Tucker, Richard Setaell, Thomas G. Tallmadge, and others of less fame and equal virtue, figure on both petitions with perfect propriety. We did not expect, however, to see compliments paid to our recreant and faithless Senator, just at this time, by such men as Myndert Van Schaick, Robert Kelly, Solomon Townsend, Andrew II Mickle, and Francis W. Edmonds. Scarcely a rote has been given by Senator Dickinson since bis election, ot which those gentlemen approve, and yet for reasons wbieh they will one day be ashamed of, if they are not already, tbey hare permitted their names to be prostituted to tbe base purpose of sustaining the revolting treachery of which he has been so shame-Isssly guilty.

On the very day when Senator Dickinson's acceptance of this invitation was received in New York, (Wednesday,) he gave three votes, either of which should have caused him to be burned in effigy in very town in tbe state lie voted against Mr. Chase'a amendmeut to the Omnibus bill, which provided that nothing contained in the bill shLll be construed as authorizing or permitting the introduc-' tion of slavery, or the holding of persons as pro-" pert within said which was a simple assertion of the non-intervention doctrines. He roted against the amendment which was designed to apply the ordinance of 1787 to that portion cf the territory now free, which was included in the kill, and finally, he roted in favor of an amendment offered by Senator Berrien, whioh forbids the legislatures of any of those free territories passing any law excluding slavery therein. Such are the "pub-lio services in the councils of the nation" which these gentlemen wish ta testify their appreciation of, at the dinner of the 17th of June. A blunder ia aoinetimes more fatal than a crime, as tboaa gentlemen may some day discover to their sorrow.

Tbey haro been made instruments to further a scheme whioh has been for long time on foot, and Which we supposed politicians of ordinary sagacity Jnight hare detected long since, if they were paying any attention to the current of political events. It seems tbat we hare been mistaken. We will now briefly caution Messrs. Van Schaiok and Kolly, and tbe other democratic courtiers of Mr Dickinson, who hare signed this letter, that they had Lest take soma other path to fame than tbat which they happen to hare chosen, unless they wish to bear a part in the intrigue now on foot to defeat the elec liju of a democratic Legislature this fall, and by porpetuatirg the divisions in the democratic party of -New York, pare the way for the disfranchisement oi our state again, in the Baltimore Convention, in 1S52, iy tbe same process, and for the same base purpose the like result was accomplished in 1843. The letter of Mr.

Croswell to the gravy soup and codfish dinner, a fow weeks since, which was written merely as a pretext for presenting the namo of Dickinson as a candidate for re-election, and Mr. JMcK eon's speech on the earns occasion, endorsing Mr. Croswcll's suggestion, were partial development, of Ibis intrigue both of those gentlemen boing notoriously determined to per: are Mr. Cass's re-nomination, if they oan both knowing that that can only be done by disfranchising our state in the national councils of the party, and both know-Sag tbat the only way such a result can bo accomplished, is by perpetuating duplicate organisations and past dirisiona. They hare no expectation of procuring the re-oloction of Mr.

Dickinson, but no better same could be fouud to present in nominating con rentiona whoro it was desirable to make disturbance, and cause the return of duplicate sets of delegates to the general convention. Mr. Dickinson, therefore, is to be used as the stalking horse, on which these Intriguers are to hang the pretexts for their treachery. A whig legislature is to be returned, if possible, which will help to prevent the return of a sound democrat to the United States Senate from New York, and postpone the oonsolida tion of the democratic party, until Mr. Cass has had an opportunity of making another trial with the de- juocrary of the Union.

We cannot pursue this repulsive theme any longer to-day, bat we warn all the admirers of Mr. Dickin son, who profeaa to be true friends of the democratic party and to democratic principles, to take hood to their footsteps.

To blame judiciously St oae of the highest otOaes of bumsa intellect, ana of the noblest maotfeataUoaa ef hsmaa wisdom. All the rsformer of the world, all the preachers, martyrs and eonfessora of sacred or moral truth in all ages, were in en who censored and exposed the errors of their time, and taught others to avoid and renounce them. Without being shown what ia wrong in our conduct we shall never amend, and ha who does this office for us is tbe truest philan thropist and our beat friend. If I had time I Would write a defence of grumbler, a olass which, I ant sorry to any, is quite too email in i thia country. We beplastcr each other too much with praise, except whea we quarrel as members of different political parties, and them we abuse each other without reasen.

At one of the public anniversaries held in thia city the other day, a respectable and sensible stranger was so nauseated with the eulogies and eomplimenU bestowed by the speakers upon each other, and upon themselves, and tbe country and everything in it, that he went out in utter disgust. The effect is bad ia more ways than one. It nourishes ia us a habit of conceit, sickly sensi-tireness to blame, a touchiness whenever our faults are alluded to, which ia the worst frame of mind in the world for improvement of the character. We must learn to bear reproof with temper. If we fly into a passion, merely because another thinks ni in tho wrong, we not only make ourselves uncomfort able, but wa deprive ourselves of the benefit of all just animadversions on our conduct, and confirm our selves in any bad practices we may hare been uafor- tenate enough to contract.

"The grumbler keeps ns from falling Into this morbid state of mind, and us to receive blame with some degree of self-possession. No important change was erer yot effected, without long and loud ooinplainta against tho abuse Bought to be redressed. Erasmus was a grumbler, Luther was a grumbler. Baoon grumbled at the dreams and ab- surdilks of the old philosophy which his own system so happily superseded. Howard grumbled at the frightful abuses committed in -the prisons of all the nations ef the civilised world, till he brought most of the European governments to consent to a reform.

It was the grumblers who made Switzerland a repcb lie. It is the grumblers to whom we owe the independence and the free constitution ol the United States. Cut for fear of the grumblers, the crowned heads of Europe, the 1'resident and ministry of France included, would not at this moment leave a single spark of freedom alive in their dominions, but would tread it out by riolence, or quench it, if necessary, in blood. I appeal to the Erening Post itself, which has had some experience in these matters, whether any good thing is to bo bad without long, loud, and per- serering grumbling 1 I hare before me the miscellaneous writings of tho Rer. Sydney Smith, and they are full of gram blings from beginning to end grumblings about tbe state of British prisons; grumblings about the game laws grumblings about man-tras and spring guns, and tbe inhumanity of the judges who treated these engines of sudden murder as pardonable expedients of the owners of game grumblings about the barbarity of refusing counsel to a man accused of a crime grumblings about persecuting bUhops grum blings about the injustice of the disabilities and bur- flous laid upon the Irish Catholics grumblings, in short, against all wrongs and abuses, manner of old and new, tho bare list of which would fill column or more of your paper.

He grumbled generally in the right place, and what is remarkable, he lived to see more than half tho grievances at which ho grumbled, redressed. Ho was a witty and hopeful grumbler, and having done the work for which he was raised np, his ashes now rest in honor, and his writings arc read with dtllght. Soinotimes, however, he finds fault not with single grievances, but with the English character in general, a matter in which I suspect it is not so easy to effect a change. I close these loose remarks with a passage of this sort, but before doing so, 1 would just remark, that if a collection of all the oensures which Sydney Smith has uttered against tho absurdities, follies and acts of wickedness committed by his coun. trymcn, were collected and digested, thoy would con stitute a severo phillippio upon the English character aud English institutions, than ever came from the pen of any man not an Englishman There is nothing which an Englishman enjoys more than tbe pleasure of sulkiuess of not being forced to hear a word from any body which may occasion to him the necessity of replying.

It is not so much that Mr. Bull disdains to talk, asthat Mr. Bull has nothing to aar. His forefathers have been out of spirits for six or seron hundred years, and seeing nothing but fog and vapour ho is out of spirits 'oo and when there is no selling or buying, or no busiuers to settle, ho preiers boing alone and looking at me nre. it any gentleman was in distress, he would lend a helping hand but he thinks it no part of good neighborhood to talk to a person because be happens to be near him.

In il.ort, with many excellent qualities, it must be acknowledged tbat the English are the most disagreeable of the nations of Europe-more surly and mcrosc, with lees disposition to please, to exert themselves for the good of society, to make small sacrifices, and to put themselves out of their way. They are content with Magna Charta and trial by jury and think they are not bound to excel the root of the world in small behaviour, if tbey are superior to them in great institutions." Life's Second Morsi.no. Says aoorrespendent, There are not many more beautiful lines in tbe English language, there are certainly none so beautiful in the writings of their author, as those of Mrs. Barbauld, which the poet Rogers is fond of repeating to his friends, in his fine, deliberate man ner, with just enough of tremulousnesa in that grave voice of his, to give his recitation tbe effect of deep feeling. 'Life we've been long together, Through pleasant and through eloudy weather.

ru hard to part when friends are dear, Tsrhaps 'twill eost a tigh. a tear. Then steal away, give Uttls warning, I'hocse thine own time Say not Rood night, but, in soma happier clime, Hid me good it makes the thought of Death cheerful to repre sent it thus, as Life looking in upon you with glad greeting, amidst fresh airs and glorious light. The lines 1 infer, wore written by Mrs. Barbauld in her late old age, and I do not wonder that theaged poet, who some years since entered upon tho fifth score of his years, should find them haunting his memory." The New Yoke Gallsrv of tbe Fixe Art which has been without exhibition rooms since it was so unceremoniously deprived of tbe Rotunda, by the Corporation, is making arrangements fur oc cupying the splendid apartments of the Acadomy of Design, after the first of August.

A very satisfactory agreement has been made for this purpose with the Academy, which, for a moderate rent, as signs the occupation of the larger room and one of tho sido rooms to the New York Gallery, at all time. except when they are wanted for the exhibition of the Academy. After the bonds which the Academy has given for the erection of the building, shall hare been paid, the New York Gallery is to occupy these rooms at a merely nominal rent. Last erening, the Trustees of the New York Gal. lory had a meeting, at which the officers of the last year, with ono exception, which was in consequence of a resignation, were re-elected: It is said that tho collection of works by the old painters, made by Mr.

Nye, will probably be placed temporarily in the New York Gallery, by tho proprietor, which will add to the attraction and in. terost of the pUco. The Scarlet Lettek of Hawthorne has reached second edition, which may be had at Putnam's, in Broadway. It is written with extraordinary talent we might mend the expression, and call it a work of genius. The characters are skilfully indiridualixcd, the scenes of passion wrought np with great strength, and the style beautiful to a degree which few American writers hare attained.

With all these merits, there is defect in the plot of the work, which is made to turn a crime against the laws of society, a crime kept painfully and repulsively in sight. The introductory ohapter, callod the Custom House, is one of the cleverest portions of the book, and parts of it show infinite comic power, but the sketches of character are understood to hare been drawn from real life, and to hare giren groat offence to those for whom they were intended. There does not appear to hare been any malignant intention in the writer but the fact that they give pain to unoffending people, ia enough to shew that it was a great error to publish them.

Mr. Port, tbe tobacconist of PueWa, whose bates of the Tils weed produced te fearful an excitement ia the diplomatic world and the stock market, baa than a year ago. has appealed from Mr. Clayton ta Cost-grass, and 1 under stand not without BUeeesa. The claim has been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House, and by tbat committee con signed to the hands of Mr.

Woodward, of South Carolina, to report upon. It ia understood, at least it ia stated by the friendi of the claimant, that ta haa made up hia mind to recommend the indemnifi cation of Mr. Port, by the payment to him of aa compensation for damages sustained, interest and other items, whioh only those in the tobacco Una would comprehend the value of. 1 think the sum will be paid, as it ought to be, and that will end the matter, put a period to Mr. Port's fame, and eclipse A name at which the world grew pale," when appearing the eole but sufficient cause of strife between the two great republics of the age.

And while we are at home honestly endeavoring to satisfy Mr. Port, we are likely to get upon our hands quarrel ia which tbe claims of other ports will hare much to do. It seems tost Portugal haa finally re fused to pay up, because wa hare neglected her re monstrances against the tax. upon her wines, Imposed by tbe tariff of 1846, and perhaps by other tariffs. She alleges that by a treaty we hare bound ourselves to put her upon the footing of the most favored nations, and that we let in French and other wines at less rates than here.

Now it hannena that some of our citizens hare claims upon her government to an indefinite amount for losses sustained, as alleged, by relations of hor neutrality, committed by her connivance, and for which that government is responsible. Our merchantmen and privateers were captured within her porta, or taken thero by reneh or British cruisers, and she has never been brought to a settlement therefor. At tbe beginning of this session, the President adverted to this eon trorerfy, and pointed distantly, but pretty clearly, at blockades and bombardments, as the remedy. Ex nihiio nihil fit is an adage highly applicable to this partioular ease, and to Portugal at all times, if tho whole kingdom, tearing out the foreign merchants resident in her cities, were brayed in a mortar, it is the opinion of observant and on-lightened travellers, not so muoh as a half joe would be found among the residuum. It is said that Mr-Clay, the charge, and son of the Kentucky senator, has left their capital, and is on his way home with a highly unfavorable report ot his progress in the main object of his mission.

Our news from New Mexico, to which I briefly adverted, is so unfavorable as to satisfy all who de sire to perceive the truth, that the territory is rapid ly passing under the jurisdiction of Texas. The progress of the so called Commissioner of that stale to Santa Fe has been unobstructed. Ho has received eSbiout support and assistance in all his proceedings, from the States army. Tbe subordinate officials, holding conuuiauons under the ciril Govern or, the commanding offieor at Santa Fe, hare sur rendered thoir offices on demand of said Commission er, and, according to some reports, a part of thorn hare accepted appointments under authority of Texas. Tbe servants, suttlors, toamsters, contractors, and other camp followers, who are very numerous in and about Santa Fe, having mostly accompanied Washington's ooips and train from Monterey in 1848, are nearly all Texana.

They have taken an active part against the people of tbe territory and in favor of the impudont usurpation of the state they call their own. Four years of military rule, succeeding the long night of Mexican provincial despotism, has crushed and demoralised the people, and when they see their booted and sHirred superiors thus openly fraternizing withjhe chtunauU against the dominion of the general government of the republic to which they had supposed themselves subject, it is not to be wondered at if they yield to the force of circumstances and numbers. 1 think it may now be regarded as almost a fixed fact, that Texas baa stolen New Mexico, and that the thief is to be bribod to restore it. The question is, whether the property is worth any such sum as it is proposed to pay for it. If wo buy Texas out, wo thereby lot slavery in, by the plainest implication of law, and, in my judgment, unless she can be promptly drivon out by force, wo had better leave her in quiet possession, it appears to be tbe general opinion that a large per oentago of the ton million Is to be distributed among thuso members of Congress whoso minds are not yet olear as to their duty in this crisis.

Of course, yonr readers will be careful to observe tbat 1 do not pretend to narticioate in this imnrea- sion but it is necessary for mo to notice the belief that has become epidemic, that unless a proper and satifaetory apportionment of the immense profits that must noccssarily aocrue to holders of Texan bonds by tho succors of this compromise eoncern, shall bo agreed upon within a reasonable time, there will be no chance for its adoption. This may be a wicked insinuation I bare not the means of But as there is a bare possibility that some plan of this kind may havo been canvassed in tho change alleys of politics, unknown to any honorablo gentlemen to be openitod upon, I would throw out tho suggestion, tht wlioover receives proposals, shall stipulate lor guaranties tbat Texas will deliver up the property which fhe engages to tranfer, for it is barely possiblo tbat she might pocket the funds and keep the lands. Senator Baldwin put Mr. Clay to a test of his sin cerity to-day. He did not escape unscathed from the ordeal.

Mr. Clay. Mr. Webstor. and several other northern gentlemen, with a aouthorn aspect, affect to hold the proviso unnecessary, because slavery Is already prohibited by tho laws of Mexioo, in force beforo the conquest.

Mr. Clay has solemnly avowe that nothing could induce him to perform any act by which slavery should be established in free territory. but a considerable party deny that thoso laws are in force, and tbat if they are not, slavery may and will go thore. Therefore, Mr. Baldwin thought it best that the Senate should declare its intention, and its undcrabwding of what the eondition of tho territory was.

but Mr. Clay was made uncomfortable by the bare suggestion, and attempted to put down Judge Baldwin by a little of tbat imperiousnoss for which he is notorious, when hard pressed. He demanded the withdrawal of the amendment, because it was morely a repetition of the Wilmot proviso, which had been rejected yesterday. But he was entirely unsuccessful. Mr.

Baldwin proceeded with perfect calmness andcleatness to show that unless the arguments on which Mr. Clav and some of his followers had shirked the proviso were tne merest pretexts, tnoy must acknowledge and agree establish all the amendments asserted. Tho yeas and nays were called and hypocrisy was unveiled. The amendment was rejected, ayes 23, noes 32, and thus the Senate affirmed its belief that tho Mexican laws abolishing slavery are not now in foroe iu New Mexieo, and if the argument is over again used against the necessity of the proviso, this vote has only to be produced to brand it as a lying proteose. 1 did not take the yeas and nays, but I beliove that the following nortborn senators voted for this frank confession of rascality Messrs.

Cass, Dickinson, Dodge of Iowa, Jones, Sturgeon. Correspondence of the HS-renlng Post. Boston, June 7th, 1850. Our Athens of America has sunk into comparative dullness and torpor, after the feverish excitement which the Havana Opera troop created here for a week. Tbe love of sound slumbered in our Athenians for a whole week, whilst this excellent company performed here their most attractive pieces, aud only one third of the house was filled.

However. the dormant love of art suddenly awoke to its full extent, and the house was found not large enough to hold its votaries seats were sold for eighteen dollars, and fashion was even foreed to take refuge in the second tier, which, although a better place for hearing, and general stage effect, is always shunned by fashion, simply because it ia not fashionable, and benoe commands lower price but on this occasion prido and fashion had the satisfaction of paying a higher price, and thus redeeming their honor. Boston, although often called the Athena of Ameri ca, might rather remind 0ce sometimes of the town of Abdera, in Greece, whoie inhabitants, too, were ardent admirers cf the fine arts, and devoted lovers ot science, but manifested both in peculiar way 5f their own for instance, when their love for the fine arts induced tnein to nave a ncautitul fountain constructed in the middle-of the market-place, and sent for a celebrated sculptor at Athens to make a group of statuary for it, luuoiBuug ui ujiupua, irituns, uoipmns ana Dorses, which were to spout the water from their tuutriU However, when the group was finished, and the water began to play, it was found that there was hardly water enough for the nose of one dolphin, and it looked as if all the dolphins and steeds suffered with a cold in their heads. The goodly citizons there would often complain to strangers, to whom tbey showed this group, that ao glorious a work of art must remain useless, from the stinginess of nature. This sudden and enormous lore of art, too large for our theatre to hold it, has been supplanted by a scientific seal, which manifested itself by the deep interest taken in the opening of the mummy.

Nearly two thousand persons, of whom the greater part were ladies, were present on this interesting occasion, to slake their thirst for scientific knowledge and areheological information. Curiosity had been wrought to a great pitch by long preparations, ad vertising, and putting tickets at five dollars, and appointing a large committee of our most scientific gentlemen in all tbe various branches of learning, as botany, midwifery, physiology, osteology, anatomy. medicine, oriental literature, etc, to attend at the sooouohiuent, and bring their respective learning to bear upon the examination of the novelty brought to light. The expected birth of a prince, by Queen Victoria, with all the lords aud ministers of state ia waiting, to witness thia important event, cannot be looked forward to with greater anxiety than was the delivery of tbe illustrious princess from its long encasement and confinement. At last the illustrious stranger made her appearance all wanted to get the first glance at her head orer head was piled to gratify the long penned up curiosity, and welcome her on onr republican shores.

They had pictured to themselves an oriental princess of Circassian beauty, ail decked wun goiu ana jewels, swimming in a sea of all the sweets and balms of Arabia and what did they teat A mummy, like all other mummies a female form, dipped in black pitch all over, and wrapped up in linen, real linea, as the scientific gentlemen assured tbe audience, after a scientific investigation- The only striking feature about her is her length of body, (features ot lbs face she haa none,) ahe measures fire feet four inches, the tallest female mummy, Mr. Giiddou assures the audience, ho has ever seen, ia spite of all the many assistant accouch-aurs, they finally broke off the poor lady's feat; they were, however, at once taken ears of by the soientifie committee, and ao doubt wa may look forward to aa elaborate report on them, so that wa shall know whether the lady was a good pedestrian or dancer. No gold oc jewels bars aa yet been dis-oorered oa her, much to the disappointment of the ladies, ia particular but Mr. Gliddoa will no doubt try to console them by recalling to their minds that "-7 woman ia a treasure ia herself, and that as to himself considers this one so.

la Harvard College there are now two professorships to be fiOcfl. via. those of Iatin and of history. Professor Beck, who for tbe last eighteen years filled the chair of professor in Latin with such eminent ability and distinction, and elevated his department to a degree of perfection, that it may serve as a pat tern ioi otnera, tendered his resignation tnia spring, to take effect at the end of thia trreaent academic year, viz. in July next, sad hia raeigostioa was ac-cepted by the eomoratinn.

It ia mat cause of re gret, that the college shall loae one of its ablest and most laitmui instructors and his degree oi urciui-neaa will be only duly apineciated after he will hare left. The earns of his rMiraatkm was. that, having a greater amount of labor to perform ia the form of recitations, lectures, and correcting the written exer cises ot the three higher classes, than pernape any other one, he applied to the corporation to appoint an assistant tor the eopnomora ciass, dccsius ue found, with hia present labour, not sufficient time left to him for his own study, to keep pace with the advance of philological science, and thus to giro hia department the benefit of thia study. Tbs corpora, tion returned upon this application, a simple negative answer without assigning any reason whatsoever for so doing. Professor Beck feeling tbat either his heal must suffer through over exertion, or that his department could not steadily progrea as it has done during the many years it has been under his care, thought himself in duty bound, being a highly conscientious man, to resign rather than to see himself exposed to the abore stated alternative, and he put his resignation upon thia ground.

The corporation pursues, sometimes, a rery singular policy, and apparently not to the advantage of the institution. They will, in some instances, pay high salaries to officers thai comparatively do but little and appoint even assistants to them, and then again they complain that they have no money to reward real services performed. Who the successor of Dr. Beck will bo. is not yet known, it will be difficult to find a proper person who will be willing to undertake the labors fur tbe small salary.

The Profeasorship of History, which has been partially filled by Mr. Sparks, for several years, is also vacant. This important department haa heretofore baen entirelT netrloAtsd bv tha Corporation. Mr. Sparks accepted it only on oondition that he should during the summer terms, and then only on American history, himself feeling full well that general history would be beyond his range.

The doDartinent of historr has therefore not been fairly represented at all. Mr. Francis Bowen, the editor cf the North American, was one of the candidates, and Mr. S. Eliot, author of the History of Liberty of Rome, was also mentioned as one.

It was at once supposed that Mr. Bowen would receive the ai point-ment, after baring written the two articles on Hungary and European politics, which make an apparent show of historical learning but, 1 believe, he himself would not like to have his historical knowledge judged by these articles, which show him lamentably deficient injihe modern history of the last thirty years. Siuiia mnnlhl WLVn tlA wrote a V6TV aCVerC and searching article on Cambridge University, and its management by the corporation, which it was dcemod necessary to take notice of by a reply, made by tho treasurer of tho college, Mr. Eliot, lnit course could not rery favorably recommend bun to the corporation, but then again it is always good, to enlist an opponent on your side. Iu short, although the appointment bas not been formally announced, it has been acted upon in faror of Mr.

Bowen. The branch of Political Economy is connected with history, and as Mr. Bowen was in former times a tutor in the college for this study and tbat of philosophy, the corporation took this no doubt into account lie will be, no doubt, a rery faithful instructor, as ho has been heretofore but wbothor his strong one-sided ultra-conservative views and frame nf mind will nnnliCv him fur a nrofcasor of history. who should be dispassionate and impartial, time will, snow. luim, The Cuban Ihvasion.

The schooner Merchant arrived at Charleston on the 6th instant, from Hava na, bringing intelligence to the 30th ult. The United States steam frigate Saraoao arrived at Havana on the 2bth oarrying despatches to the Captain General of Cuba, and General Campbell, the American Consul at Havana. It is stated in Havana, that tho Saranao has boen put under tho orders of the Governor of Cuba, to assist in suppressing any armed expedition from the United States. The ships Albany and Germantovm, lying at Ha" vana, having received information that a Spanish rossel of war, with part of the Cuban expedition on board, was expected, proceeded to intercept it, and after a few hours sail fell in with the Spaniards, from whom they were about exacting the release of tho prisoners, when the Saranao came up, and after an interviow between Captain Tatnall aud Cominandor Randolph, the Spaniards woro allowed to take the prisoners into Havana, whore thoy were placed in confinement on board a Spanish soventy-four. Tbe five individuals taken at Cardenas, part of the Lopez force, were shot at Matanzas, on tho 26th ult.

They woro four Seotoh and Irish, and ono American. A boy, who stated that he had joined the oxpeuL tion under tho impression that they wore going to California, aekod permission, and was allowed to write a letter to Gon. Lopez, giving information of his fate. When bo had finished tho letter, it was torn np by a soldier; but a spectator ooilcctod the pieces, and pasted them together, with tho intention of sending thorn to the boy's parents. The merchant left at Havana, tho Saranao, Albany aud Germantown.

CITY lTELiaCSKSCK. Board of Aldermen. At an adjourned mooting of tho Board yesterday afternoon, the question on the tea room afforded an opportunity for much discussion, which was freuly indulged in. The debate was con ducted in a spirit of good humor, the participants occasionally amusing themselves each other's peculiarities. A motion to lay the dotailed state ment of the expenses of the tea-room for tho year on the table, was finally adopted.

A communication, bud beforo tho Board by Com' missioncr Childa, from the Department on Streets and Lamps, setting forth that a oomuiittoo of gentle men from -Ohio and Kontueky, who represent tho graziers and drivers of cattle sent to this market from those states, wero desirous of having a consultation with the Common Council, relative to obtaining pro per accomodations and suitable means of transport tion by railroad or other communication with the city. Tbe miserablo condition of tho roads and all means of access to New York, has long beon a just cause of complaint, and calls for immediate, attention. The annual loss occasioned by tbe present uu perfect means of transportation, is sufficient to prevent all dcalors in cattle removed at suoh a distance, from supplying our markets. The matter met with due considera tion, and a committee was accordingly appointed Mr- Alexandre Vattomare sent a communication through the Mayor, offering to the city a continuation of the work entitled Stattstique Monumental de Paris, several numbers of which he haa already presented to the eity. These documents, it seems, were a present from the French Minister of Public Instruc tion.

Several important measures connected with the policy and the operations of the Society, wore dis cussed and referred to appropriate committees. The first meeting of the new year of the Society's labors, was extremly interesting and auspicious. The indications of the cause are highly favorable. New Yob Bible Society The regular meeting of the Board of Managers was held on Thursday erening. at the American Bible House.

E. H. Blatchford, after aa absence of several months from the city, occasioned by feeble health, resumed his duties aa the President of tha Board. The receipts for the past month were $2,724. Payments, The number of rolumes issued from tho de pository during the month was 10,646, the value of which was $3,054 44 of thia number volumes were sold, and the balance donated.

The Emigrant Committee reported an unusually large amount of rolumes distributed among the class under their charge, tha number of emigrants arriving daring the month having been unpreoedently great. The agents employed in supplying tha destitute residents of the city, have been engaged in the 4th, 6th and 17th Wards, and had distributed, by sale and gratuitously, 753 rcdumes among 4ytl4 families visit- od by them. The Couunittee on Humane aod Charitable Institutions hare rial ted and supplied the New York Hos pital.

Editors i On reading the account of the mysterioua tappings, in a lata paper of yours, and desiring to obtain more satisfactory evidence aa to the reliance to be placed on the communications from the spirit land, 1 paid the ladies and their spiritual companions a visit. As usual, there was a large company present, com posed of those who placed the utmost credence in the wonders, and others, whose skeptioism was proof against the strange stories that had been related aa eosoel truth br several of the 'public prints. Those present, at the request of Mrs. Fish, tbe eldest lady, who presides at the rappinga, took seata at the table herself and the two younger ladies occupying their usual places on the sofa- After some desultory conversation, the attention of the company was rivetted by the knock inga which seemed to proceed from the floor immediately under the table. Tbia was deemed an intimation tbat the spirits were prepared to enter Into conversation with them.

Upon inquiry being made as to their being nwilv to answer nnestiona from any one of the com pany, an affirmative answer was returned. A lady visitor then expressed a desire to converse with some departed relative, and was told, through the usual medium, that the aoul of her friend was ready to an swer hor question Does tbe spirit of my child speak to me inquired the lady. An euirmatire knock was the reply. Is the spirit of my child happy 1" said the lady. The response was again in the affirmative.

But to several other questions as to the age of her child, the time it was dead, and when it died, she roorived incorrect answers. A gentleman, who was evidently a strong believer in these revelations, next directed his attention to the spiritual portion of tho company. To every question he asked concerning his family and deceased friends, he declared he received correct replies. Sc- reral other -eontlemen Queried the srjirits. but they evinced no desire to give them any definite information or news from tbe other aide of the grave.

All attempts to obtain satisfactory answers were now aban doned, and the manifestations assumed quite a uiuer-ent character. Instead of beine eonteuted with the repeated knookings on the floor, which, I should not lorget to state, was covered wun a tniex carpet, so as to exolude all suspioion that the sounds might be produced by rapping with shoe a upon the boards, the spirits mado their presence known by repeated and loud knocks on tha table, sufficiently Strong to cause a perceptible vibration of the loaf, some oi me company placed thoir hands upon it the sounds did natcoaso. however, but continued loudcf than before iuo ladies, who, to five tlioin due credit, did tneir utmost to aid au who uesired to investigate toe mat-tor minutely, removed some distance from the table, but the noise was still aa audible aa ever. They were next reqnisted to stand near the door, which they no sooner did, than a loud knocking was heard, as if caused br some person on the other side. Impa tiently demanding admission.

10 satiety tne minus of those present, several gentlemen wore requested to station themselves on the other side, and report the result to the company. They wore unable, however, to account for it, but said that toe noiso to them seemed to proceed from the inside, while to those in the room it, on the contrary, appeared as if earned by those on the outside. lo test this singular pne-nouienoa somewhat further, the ladies courteously oomplied with the request of the company, to proceed to the flagged passage outside the apartment in whioh ther had assembled. Here the sounds were heard as distinctly as before. While, in the room, two gentle men declared in a positive manner, that they bad seen tbe table move about an inch, without their be ing able to assign any other than a supernatural cause for it.

-The New York Academy of Education moots this evening, at the chapel of the Now York University. Would a Froo Academy for girls promote the in terests of education in this eity," is the question for discusaion, and on account of its unusual interest, the only exercise for the evening. The friends of education generally are expected to be present. The Messrs. Merriam, of Springfield, Mass haro presented twenty copies of Webster's quarto Dictionary to the Missionary Socioty of tho Metho dist Episcopal Church, to be distributed among its foreign missions.

-Another fire was discorored by officer Load, about three o'clook this morning, among some old lumber in the woodhouseof Mr. Costollo, in Twen tieth street, near tbe Third avenuo. It was extin guished by the officer before the alarm was given. The body of a drowned boy was discovered ly ing in the water at the foot of Pine street. Tbe Co roner was duly notified.

-Yostcrday morning, about half-past 9 o'clock, as a boy a German was walking along the deck of a steamer, building in tbe ship yard at the foot of Se venth street, East River, he fell into the bold, se verely injuring bis head. He was taken to the Eleventh Ward Station House nearly lifeless. Dr. Nicholls was called in, and rendered such aid as the case re quired. The boy partially recovered, and was sent home to his parents, living at 110 Ridge street, who have but lately arrived from Germany.

About half past 8 o'clock last night, aa a servant girl was filling a camphene lamp, while lit, in the basement of tho home 136 Green street, by some means or othor she sot fire to her olothes aud ruahed out into the street enveloped in flames, where, by the exortion of some of those called to the spot by her cries, tho flames were extinguished, but not before she was burned in such a dreadful manner as to loave but little hopes of her recovery. She was taken to the hospital. About half-past 9 o'clock last night, a fire broke out in the third story of the premises on the south west corner of Centre and Walker streets, caused by the upsetting of a camphene lamp. It was extin guished before much damage was done. L.KUA1.
