Oakes' house bo continued as the city receptacle of lost children, and in favor of giving her a salary of IJ100 per annum for the future, and a prcsont of $50 for past services, was adopted in tho Board, on Monday evening last by tho close voto of otic majority.

How read the prophicios in relation to this doctrine All was clear on this subject no oxclusivo ncss was thero manifest. No, thoy foretold a Saviour for all tho sons and daughters of Adam, who would comply with tho conditions.

In tho 53d chapter of Isaiah might bo found ample proof that this was their toaching hero was tho quintessence of their foreshadowing, in regard to this doctrine. It was also the direct teaching of tho Saviour himself, as also of His holy apostles plain and palpable as tho light It was the clear and unmistakcablo toaching which might bo discovered running through the whole bible tho whole revelation of God to fallon man. Orcwkljm aglc EVENING, JKSE. 0 VISIT TO SI.XG St.VG. lf'c shall fo morroic insert on our First Pope a most interesting account of a Visit paid on Thursday last to Sing Sing, and description of the Prison and prisoners there, which is already in type, but is at present crowded out by other articles.

To day, see FIRST PAGE for, The Hours, a sivcel little poem; The Dark Winter, a fine Revolutionary sketch JVever Procrastinate The Dumb Hoy's answer and carious miscellaneous items, More stars for the SiaiR lel Banner. Tho news wo publish this afternoon about Mexico, and our war with that country, lias one feature of peculiar interest. Perhaps the idea is hardly definite enough to elaborate an article upon but still it is warranted that there will soon bo a dismemberment of our unhappy southern republic. Yucatan has long been dissatisfied with tho treatment sho has received from the central power," and, (as stated,) now throws off her allegiance, and sets up for herself; giving out that she won't need a long coaxing to join the Unitd States. As to a Republic of the Rio Grande," such a formation would be but the stepping stono to furnish a culation of the hints which follow, would save many prized livos.

Undoubtedly, too, tho present is pecu liarly tho season when death by drowning is by far the most frequent. Not a day passes without tho record of accidents, in every part of the country, from persons falling in, or venturing in tho water. Reading these records, we aro very often impressed with the conviction that tho proper means, on the recovery of tho body, could have resusciated its life. Surely it behooves tho caterers for the public to spread tho knowlcdgo of those means as far as possible. It is difficult to say how long a person may remain under water boforo life is extinct.

Persons have been recovered after an hour's drowning, and perhaps more. Thoso who have thus suffered, describe their sensations as not at all painful, but a gentle and very gradual loss of sensibility, sounds and sights gradually fading from their senses. On tho other hand, tho coming out of this swoon is accompanied with violent and painful spasms. When a body is taken from tho water, it should be subjected to no violence, such as rolling on a barrel, and the coroner should not bo thought of until all means havo been tried, for at least six hours, for its recovery. Strip the body instantly, and if the weather or water be cold, put it in hot flannels, and apply cloths rung out in hot water.

In any case, restore warmth, the first condition of vitality. Especially, lose no time in inflating the lungs, and getting up an artificial breathing. This may be done with a bellows, by placing the nose to one nostril, and at the same time stopping tho other and the mouth. Fill tho lungs, and by a quick pressure expel tho air and continue this at the same timo that tho means aro used to raise the temperature. By these means, hundreds of persons apparently dead, and who without them would never have breathed again, havo been recovered.

In the case of a swimmer plunging into the water to save a drowning porson, hardly any rule could bo given, of course. It may bo remarked, however, that tho grip of such a person is dreadful and sometimes causes the death of both. Tho one attempting to save another should, if possible, reach him with a stick, which he may grasp without injury. Or he should como behind and seize him by the hair, or by tho heel. If tho drowning one bo still sensible, and can be calmed sufficiently, he may be brought to the shore by placing his hands upon the swimmer's shoulders or tho swimmer may take him under tho arm.

If a drowning man seize a person, the first object must bo to freo himself, and this must be done at all hazards. Sometimes if the swimmer go down the other will let go, from tho instinctive desiro to get near the surface. If he do not he must bo throttled without mercy, and then, when insensible, he may be brought to the shore safely. Theso situations require great coolness and courage, but with these a good swimmer may gen erally save a person. It is something to bo proud of for a lifetime, to preservo a friend, or even a stranger, from sudden death Disastrous "W'rcclc.

The brig Sutledgc, Capt. Graham, of and from Pictou, (Nova Scotia,) for Fall River, with 56 pas sengers, (mostly emigrants going to Pcnnsylvauia,) was wrecked, on the morning of Saturday, 27th inst. on tho reef of rocks, called the Sow and Pigs in tho Soon after sho struck, the tide having caused her to slew round, she backed off tho ledge, filled and went down, bow first, in ten fathoms water. Previous to her going down, tho mate was sent below, forward, to ascertain if the brig leaked, but he discovered nothing that looked like it. The u.o men oruerca to oo sounded, but before that could bo dono, water was reported in the fore castle.

The boat was then got out, and the passen gcrs rushed into it, when the captain gavo orders to shove her from tho brig. Ho then jumped overboard and swam to tho boat, and kept her as closo to the brig as possible, picking up such as jumped into the water. I he whole number picked up in the car. tain's boat was 31 alivo. The schooner Dusky Sally being near, sent her boat to assist, and succeeded in saving more alive, who were in tho water, and 3 more do.

Attempt at murder in Suffolk Co. Patchogue, June 18th 1846. We receive the following account, of a piece of precocious villainy at Islip, Suffolk which, it is feared, will result in death, both to tho victim and tho wretched perpetrator: On Tuesday morning, tho 16th inst between 9 and 10 o'clock, A. M.

a boy went to tho house of widow lUith Bell, in the town of Islip, near Sayville, and after making some inquiry about a hoe that ho said had been loft thero by ono of the neighbors, followed Mrs. Boll into tho house seized her by the throat, and demanded her monev. He then threw hor down and attempted to cut her throat with his jack knife. In the struggle sho drew the knife from his hand, and with it inflicted a severe wound in his side. Ho then reached a brick and commenced beating her on tho head.

At length becoming alarmed by tho barking of a dog, he fled from tho house Tho knife, which he left behind, being identified, together with other circumstances, caused suspicion to rest upon Gcorgo Saughter, a boy, aged about 16 years, living with Edgar Gillct. Ho had been sent to tho shore that morning, and when ho returned, he represented that he had fallen upon ms lcniie, and thus caused tho wound in his side. Upon being charged with having mado tho at tempt upon Mrs. Bell, he mado a full admission of all tho facts, and stated in addition, that ho started to run away from Mr. Gillct that when ho came opposite Mrs.

Bell's, he thought that he should want money, and was thus induced to stop, in tho hope of obtaining it Tho houso is surrounded by woods, and is at somo distanco from any neighbors and what is remarkable, has within a few years past, in soveral instances, beeu the sceno of similar acts of violence. It is thought doubtful whether cither Mrs. Bell or tho boy will recover from their wounds. Tho bov was examined before Reuben Edwards, aud by uim cuimuutcu, wncn no snail havo so lar re covered, as to render his removal practicable.

Aid. Mann recommended that lost children bo taken to tho poorhousc at Flatbush This would involve an expeuso to tho city for transportation of 1 50 each for every one of them, besides the trouhlo and expenso to parents to travel out there and supposing thousand children wcro to claim temporary municipal protection, tho city would have to pay for this item alone some $1500 per annum Though this is a rather small matter at first view, we are disposed to think it of sufficient importance to award the credit of an enlightened liberality to thoso members of the Board who advocated last Monday's report Tho providing of a refuge for lost children is a legitimate tlicnio of municipal concern, and is adopted by every other city that we know anything about, though not perhaps precisely in the shape proposed here, but at far greater expense. One of the advocates (Aid. Stilwell) of the. report, on Monday evening, stated that such provi sion is mado in the city of New York, but could not, when pressed, indicate the precise spot.

We re gretted that we had not had his ear a few minutes previously inasmuch as we fancy we could have amply enlightened him on tho subject of the New York places of reception for lost children. The principal of these places is in the basement of the old Alms House building, in the rear of the City Hall, in the Park. We heard a while since that it was contemplated to remove it to another location but believe it remains there, as yet. The city of New York pays a matron, (we don't know but assistants, also,) to take care of the lost children who are brought in there, and pays quite a decent sum, we havo been informed. The basement of the up per police building, corner of Bowery and Third street, is appropriated to the sumo use and there also is a salaried matron.

The scene presented at the Purk receptacle is al most at any time, an interesting one. Any body who thinks, can seo how many children will be likely to stray away from home, and bo lost, during tho day, in such a citv as New York. Sometimes the Park receptacle contains twenty of them at once. There they are, of all ages, sizes, and descriptions. By the side of the beggar's ragged offspring, (dearer, perhaps, to its mother, than the heir to untold wealth to its,) you may see playing the well dressed, richly adorned little one of aristocratic parentage.

And, as a fine trait of humanity, wo may here mention a beautiful fact we once heard from the matron that is, that though she frequently had theso rich men's children, all adorned with valuablo trinkets, brought to her care by chance strangers, mostly of the lower order," sho could never find, on their being taken away by their parents, that the least bauble had beeu stolen from them To those whoso philosophy teaches tho utter wickedness of mankind, it may not be inopportune to commend such a fact as this The lost children are sometimes kept at theso places for several days, though that is rare. Far ents, knowing the place of go there soon auer tho discovery oi tnoir loss, and take tneir child ren home, of course. When no one comes, however, and a certain time has elapsed, the unclaimed child is sent up to tho Long Island belonging to me corporation oi JNew xork. Even here, it is not uncommon for their relatives occasionally to find them. At the receptacles wo havo mentioned, the ma trons have provided all those little puerile toys and amusements which are proper for the place and its uses.

'I hey have, beds, also, and such diet as is ap propriate for children. Wc had occasion onco or twice, a summer or two since, to visit tho Park re ceptacle, in search of a young runaway and what we saw there made a most favorable impression upon us, both as respects tho necessity and high convenience of such places, in all cities, and peculiar fitness of tho female who had charge of Iho JN ew ork Asylum. As to other cities Boston, Philadelphia and so on wo cannot vouch from ou own knowledge that thero are similar asylums there but have not tho least doubt in tho world that thero are. At all events, any man with common feeling in his breast, and common senso in his head, (it strikes us) can upon reflection, sec the need of such a place in Brooklyn. And if it never costs the cor poration any thing moro than tho extravagant an nual sum of one hundred dollars, we hardly think tho tax payers will grumblo much.

Brooklyn Church services, yesterday. In tho morning, at the Pierpout st. Bap. Church, tho pastor. Rev.

E. E. L. Taylor discoursed from the following text in Col. 3d chap, and last clause of the 11th verse Christ is all, aud in all." This was tho 4th ser mon of a series delivered from this text within a fow weeks past.

In the commencement of this series the preacher said ho regarded it as a settled point that Christ was God and henco it would not be necessary to go into proof upon that point but would proceed 1st to consider Christ as Ho appeared to us in na ture, 2nd, in His providences, and 3d, as revealed to us in His Grace. The subject was ably discussed in tho three proceding discourses. In his sermon of yesterday he proposed to consider Christ in his meditorial office, as making atonement for tho sins of mankind. 1st, this atonement was for all mankind for the sins of the whole world. In it there was no limitation, no freezing and paralizing cxclusiveness which predetermined that apart of the human family must be irrevocably consigned to eter nal perdition.

No all might be saved by this atone ment. There was a free willing power given to each and it depended upon himself whether or not he would be embraced within the conditions of this great salvation. All the types and shadows which had reference to Christ and His atonement, taught plainly this view of the subject. So reasoned all the prophets even from tho beginning. All looked to the expected Messiah as the Saviour of tho whole world.

Cain had the same power to offer sacrifice, which would havo been acceptable unto God as had Abel but his wicked and stubborn heart rebelled against tho just requirement of Jehovah, and here followed tho curse not from a spirit of revenge, but to meet the just requisitions of God's holy law. The brazen serpent was lifted up in the wilderness, not that a specified eic might receive the benefits derived from looking unto it, but that all who were bitten might "be healed. This brazen serpent was a beautiful In no caso was the invitation to tho few to tho ex elusion of tho rest but all had equal rights and privileges, on complying with the conditions.
