En. The Ferry Law.

Mr. Editor. I perceive by the morning papers lhat a resolution was passed in Ihe N. Y. Common Council last evening, instructing the members of Assembly from lhat city lo use their utmost endeavors to procuro the repeal of the act in relation lo ferries, the passage of which was obtained by so much cxerlion last spring; and protesting in Iho mean time, against any action by the Commissioners appointed under that law.

Will our Common Council stand tamely by, and see this done? Brooklyn Rights. has bco but one week dsy when justice to man bcaajt required them to houso up. At present the snow is gradually wearing away with the sun, and wo may reasonably anticipated an early Spring. Burlington Free Press. Finance Committees.

We would urge upon our Democratic friends in the several wards, the necessity of making some arrangements, at their primary meetings, to hare an efficient finance committee appointed to each ward, for the purpose of procuring funds to defray the no. cessary expenses of conducting the elections. We are led lo make this suggestion from the fact that some of the wards are indebted to us for printing, and that henceforward we shall be compelled to de cline executing any order for printing, without an order from some responsible person.

Xlie Wrong o( Womnn. No true man can ever be without a deeply seated impulse Jove and reverence for woman a Iovo and reverence not in the abstract merely, as poets talk about in their writings, but actual, and worked into every day thought and conduct. all its failings, its flippancy, its affectation, and its fickleness the female character is surpassingly beautiful What strength of affection it has What' devotion to the sufferer and the unfortunate in tho phase of motherly love the crowning glory of the human attributes what similitude to the immortal kindness of our Saviour himself There is a class of cold and monkeyish chatterers who talk by rule in opposition to the female namo and nature who pretend to rail at the sex, and di rect the shafts of their puny ridicule against them They seize on some of those trivial weaknesses of woman the result, perhaps, of her very virtues, carried to an excess and find food for their mockery and miserable wit We have a contempt for all puppies of this sort and only excuse them, because we think their ignorance outweighs their folly. How dare they speak, on principle, against Ihe class of which their own, and every hearer's mother, form part? It is an indirect insult to every young man lhat listens to them Wo see in the Rochester papers a narrative of "the wrongs of woman," of a worse than ordinary kind and this narrative it is which has caused the reflections just given. What a heartless brute the husband must have been But let our readers peruse the story fur themselves: Two years ago, a young girl named Hannah E.

Williams lived in Boston, and sup ported herself by dress making. She became acquainted with a young carpenter, George E. Patterson llicir acquaintance ended in love and marriage. Last summer they moved to Rochester and, according to the testimony there, the husband's conduct ever since has been a series of monstrous cruellies, in a small way, toward the wretched wife. She was sick but on Tuesday night last, he left Rochester after having stupefied her with laudanum, and then stripped the rocrns and trunks of every thing that could be carried away, even lo his own miniature, which she had kept as a memento Thus deserted, Mrs.

Paterson gave way to her grief, which, combined wilh the former sickness, caused her death. The laller part of last week she died a grateful relief to the poor young creature, from a life that had been to her little else than full of sorrow.1' It is customary among certain people to talk about "scolding wives," and oil that sort of thing but women, though Ihey have tongues, have hearts also, and a wife is almost invariably true to her husband llnough all kinds of disaster, disgrace, and poverty. We have seen dirty looking criminals before our courts, forsaken it would seem by the whole world but the wife was by their side, and in one face at least, they could see good will and tenderness. Ah, we are too apt we men in our imperious way, to fail of our love and respect for woman. The actual wrong, all who have any heart will cry out But we have sins of omission, as well as commission.

We should never forget "that the nature of woman, in itself, is always beautifully pure, and true rand where those qualifies appear hot on. the surface, they arc but hidden by the artificial forms of life, or kept back by the distorted bent of the world's example. Work for Use Convention. It is well known that most of the new states at the south' and west, have incorporated clauses in their constitutions, prohibiting the establishment of banks with power to issue paper money and also to prohibit the loaning of the credit of the state lo corporations for any purpose whatever. These principles, will be proposed in the corning convention for revising the laws of the state of New York.

We think they deserve lo bo considered. Wo think the past history of this nation affords sufficient proof for questioning the soundness of Ihe old doc trines on these subjects. Nearly all our commercial revulsions are attributable to the action of paper money its expansions and contractions. And as for lending the people's funds or credit lo corporations, we know of no part of the Constitution which gives Ihe legislature that power nor do we see any sound reason for granting cither money or credit, under any circumstances, or whatever may be the object to such corporations. It may slrike the minds of many persons lhat notions of this sort are loo radical.

This makes little difference so long as they are right. A caution to the curious. Some days since, an inquisitive countryman, who had never seen a railroad or steam engine, stepped on a locomotive of the Little Miami R. at Wayncsburgh Pennsylvania. He looked and felt about awhile and at Ia6l happened to place his hands upon a screw which he turned.

In an instant the locomotive started of in full speed, wilh ihe fellow upon it, hallooing and bellowing at the pitch of his voico to stop the tarnation thing, while at the same time he would pray to God to havo mercy upon him Tho locomotive ran about seven miles, when by ac cident it left the track, and stopped without doing any serious damage cither to the machinery or the frightened greenhorn. Accioent at Sag Harbor. Isaac Edwards, of Sag Harbor L. went out the 9lh inst. in the neighborhood of his house with a gun, for tho purpose of shooting a mischievous dog about Ihe premises and having fired at and killed the dog, he was seen to go into his wood house, where his son inntantly ran, and found his father then expiring.

It is sup posed that the concussion produced by the discharge of the gun caused the rupture of a blood vessel about tho head Costello and Mason haye not been treated with any great partiality at Blackwell's Island, after all. The latter is sick, and much depressed in mind. Poor wretch we should think he would be. He ia not a tithe as culpable, however, as Costello. The Philadelphia train on the South Amboy route had to force their way yesterday morning through about 4 feet of water, between Bordcntown and Burlington, The county is paid lo be completely inundated.

The Tribune is io (he seventh heaven about its whig victory" in New Hampshire. It forgets that there may bo such a thing a democratic defeat and yet no whig victory from it. At the New Yoik Custom House, tho roccipls during the six of last week exceeded eight hundred thousand dollars. Gen. Houston and Mr.

Rusk, the newly elected U. S. Senators from Texas, arc on their way to Washington, to take their scats. W3 on Thursday evening last between 9 and 10 o'cloek,) proves to oejrue and, indeed, hardly as bad as the truth. Mr.

and Mrs. V. and their infant must have been killed instantly Mrs. Wyckoff, (mother in law ol the slain woman,) and Mr. Van Arsdale, were dangerously wounded, but Were alive last "Fri day evening.

the most plausible accounts, it is BupDosed that the murderer entered tho front door, where he met Van Ness, and butchered him Mrs. Wyckoff was stabbed in her bed. The murderer proceeded up stairs wilh a light, and inquired of mr. van Arsaate, who had got up on hearing the noise, if there was a man there and. on bcinn an.

swered in the affirmative, immediately stabbed Mr, V. A. who seized the candlestick and throw it at the assassin, who cither fell or jumped down stairs, Mr. v. A.

lollowing and striking him with a broomstick. Mr. V. A. then fainted, and the assassin left the house.

The girl says she saw him afterwards standing near oy wilh a gun, as if meditating whether lo return but he finally went to the barn and took a horse, and escaped before any alarm could be given. Tho horse was lounu in tlie evening near the South part of Auburn, whero there were signs of his having fell and been abandoned. The scene presented by the blood bodies in de scribed as having been most terrible Mr. Van Ness was lound dead, lying with his face in the back kitchen, with his feet on the step, stabbed in the breast Mrs. V.

who was enciente, ran round the house after she was stabbed and went to the girl's bedroom, and told her she was stabbed and lhat they were all going to be murdered. The girl raised the window, and then went to tho front door, unlocked it, and let her in she went to tho bed. threw hnrself on if, and was found dead after (he alarm was given. Van Arsdale fouo ht the assassin out of the and shut the door, and saw him stab Mrs. Wykoff near the gate: she was going to give the alarm and ran over 100 rods to Mr.

Brooks's, after she was wounded part of tho way her intestines protruding. She was senseless on Friday morning, and not likely to recover. Van Arsdale is in a very precarious state though perfectly sensible. The knife was broken in the affair part ol the blade was found in the house the rest was discovered in the yard, in the morning. On Saturday, the murderer (we suppose him to be the man from the statements) was taken in Fulton, Oswego county, and is in custody of the Sheriff.

Wo understand says the Auburn Advertiser of Friday that ho acknowledged the deed. He was at Syracuse Friday morning. He hitched his horse on the North side of the canal, and was on the steps of the Syracuse House when the cars came out from Syracuse. Ho went to Fulton, where he offered to sell his horse to the tavern keeper, V. this caused a suspicion that the horse was stolen, and soon after he left he was pursued oh this suspicion and taken.

He bears the marks of tho blow re ceived from Van Arsdale. What cause incited this most terrible deed iff all the records of Amorican crime, we cannot thus far, irom any or the accounts that have reached us) imagine Post Office Lazlnesi Mr. Editor I was pleased to" "observe by yohr paper of yesterday that your attention has been called to the defective post office arrangements for this I beg leave to add a few facts corroborative of your statement and which, in themselves, are sufficient to establish the necessity of some prompt and efficient measures lo effect a thorough reform in this matter. During Ihe season of navigation tho Northern mail is received at the N. Y.

office at 4 A. yet it is a matter of frequent occurrence that the Brooklyn letters do not reach their destination until 4 P. M. a period of twelve hours after their arrival at the N. office.

Or in other words it is a common occurrence for the resident at the foot of Fulton street, N. Y. to receive his letters by the mail at 9 A. M. while his neighbor on this side docs not receivo his until 4 P.

and that too although they are within hailing distance of each other. The Northern mail which, during the season of navigation, leaves New York at 5 P. M. and at other times at 7 A M. clears at our office at 1 P.

M. So lhat a letter mailed here at 1J P. M. would not, in the one case, leave for its destination until the next day at 5 P. M.

a period of twenty eight hours after its deposit, and, in the other case not until the second day at 7 A. M. a period of forty two hours after mailing. It is a common thing for letters to bo received by this mail at too late an hour to be answered by the return mail, and equally common for correspondents to be subjected to the expense of ferriage, and to the inconvenience, in all kinds of weather, of travelling over fo tho New York office in order to deposit a let ter per this mail. It is asserted, without fear of contradiction, that there is not a village of 500 inhabitants in this State whose Post Office arrangements of so wretched and contemptible a character as are those of this city and no village of lhat number of inhabitants would for one month endure an imposition whioh has for years been lamely submitted to by the 'sixty thousand inhabitants of Brooklyn.

The speedy reception of letters and the privilege of answering them hy the return mail are the essential and indispensiblo requisites of every good post office arrangement, neither of which facilities arc afforded lo the inhabitants of this city, and il is a matter of astonishment that some movement has not long since been made to correct these evils. I cannot close without an allusion to the faithful and prompt action of the Brooklyn carriers, who, I am confident, do all in their power to obviate these difficulties whose efficient performance of their duties merits at least a passing notice at our hands. A Sufferer. The meeting at Gothic Hall. Mr.

Euitor Will you allow me space enough in your paper to correct the erroneous impression which has gone abroad, in consequence of an inadvertence in the report of the Herald, lhat nothing was effected at the citizens' meeting on Wednesday evening last. Tho resolutions declaratory of the propriety and practicability of electing municipal officers irrespec. live of party consideration, were all passed by a do. cided majority. It was only when Ihe last resolution was before the meeting, which proposed to appoint a committee rorfi each ward to take the subject into consideration, and to direct a course of action to be submitted to the citizens at some period after the present election, that the opponents of the meeting, and tho strong sticklors for party, oroated the confusion, and insisted on an adjournment for the purpose of pre.

venting action. As one having a higher regard for the public interests and character of the city than for mere party considerations, I am desirous of having this known white as snow, and fall carelessly aooul Mis snout dcrs. He has been long afflicted with disease, but submits to it wilh patience and resignation, satisfied that what cannot be cured, must be endured." His has been a chequered and an eventful life, and ljis mind is well stored with sound and practical knowledge. An early participant in the revolution ary struggle, he is familiar with the events of that aWmy period of our history, and of course delights to speak of them to the present generation. An adventurer on the ocean, too, he can tell us of Green "'land, and the ice bound regions of the North, which it is comfortable to think of, evon, during tho dog days.

He never leaves his domicil, unless to vote at the elections, when some half dozen politicians take hira bodily to the polls. He is fond of reading the news, and prides himself for having voted the same ticket for the last forty years a commendable trait of character, truly, in this degenerate age. He says he is done with tho world, and is now a mcro looker on in Venice occasionally giving advice, however, for that costs nothing. His venerable consort is not far behind him, either in years or experience, and it may be said of both wilh great propriety, that their Way of life Has fulloa into th acre, the yellow leaf; And that hicli should accompany old age, As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends," is now showered upon them in lavish abundance. I have been considerably amused this evening, with the sports of a gioup of children, on the opposite side of the street, who havo been making the sidewalk their play ground, for want of a better.

The party consists of about a dozen, with a proper admixture of belles and beaux. The tallest, and apparently the eldest, I should judge to have seen about seven summers. She is evidently the centre of attraction. Indeed, it is whispered that the object of this gathering, is the celebration of her birlh dav por consequence, she. has been elected mistress of ceremonies, which comprise, among other things, the celebrated Ring o' Roses." It was laughable to seo the little yellow haired, butler chopped laddie take her out of the ring.

There she sioud, graceful as a'young fawn, her hair parted from the forehead, and flowing in ringlets about her neck, while with downcast eyes and compressed lips she received. the proffered kiss. Altogether they formed a very agrce UDie contrast to me pair noticed above Tho fragilo stem tho tender shoot The opening flower aud ripeu'd fruit." Happy happy days of childhood How fresh and buoyant are their feelings how innocent their aspirations how unclouded, their hopes! The world to them is a fairy ground they dream of nothing but pastime and pleasure indulge in no gloomy forebodings all is lightsome, joyous and gay. Sweet innocents! Shall their happy hearts ever become sad their pleasant dreams be dissipated by Stern, realities? Shall that peace ot mind that delicious and perfect contentment, which now shines forth in every look, and pervades every action, ever lie, disturbed by "rude, conflict with the world? YVcyild that their paths might ever be strewn with flowers their skies ever bright their fondest dreams of happiness ever realized. But alas! we know that this be.

Their's must be the common lo.t7 a. mingled cup of joys and sorrows. I am exceedingly fond of children, and love even torhihgle in their recreations, when they are of a iu uuiiui u. xii iiiks uiimei, uuwuvi there arc many eminent examples on record. Frederick, Gteat, or some other eat monarch, was once interrupted" by a courtier on business of importance, whilcplaying a game of hobby horse with his children'; and although solicited to give his im mediate attention to the subject, the.

king obstinately persisted in his refusal uiitil he had finished the game." Wilberforce was more than once caught ministering to the amusement ol the nursery Irater nity. Shelley was wont to tear the blank leaves from his books, construct miniature boats therefrom, arid launch tlicm in pools for their amusement. Chief Justice might have been seen frequently, in his better days, playirig bat and ball, with school boys in the vicinity of Richmond, wilh coat and hat off arid I have myself seen a certain distinguished individual, who shall be nameless, trundling hoop for their amusement. I once heard an individual remark, lhat he hated children and I need scarcely say that he fell at once full three points in my estimation. Indeed, it was only on his rcnoucing practically, this monstrous sentiment, that he was so fortunate as to become leinsiatcd in my good graces.

I hesitate not to dec. arc that the individual who can find it in his or her heart, to hate children, possesses none of the finer feelings of human nature is no poet no philosopher I had almost said no christian. Female Appearances. We commend the following to the notice of all our female readers, mar tied and unmarried more especially to the matrons. It points a very truthful moral too truthful as a general thing, to bo agreeable We see friendship, love, common sense, and common honesty sacrificed every hour, to what is called politeness.

I see women every day, out of re spcet as they say, to their husbands, tricked out with botler dress, wilh belter looks, and with belter humor to reeeivc strangers, than to receive a husband, the 'rogues persuading the good, easy fool, when they give other men a cleaner lable cloth, and a better dinner, Chut they lo it out of respect for him Abominable! they treat the lord of their affec tions, the partner of their bed, the father of their children, worse than any other man they do, indeed there's no denying it. 'Tis all a wicked, profligate, cold hearted lie, and they know it. They call it hospitality. Worso and worse. Hospitality is not ostentation.

Hospitality is simple and sincere. No they want to please a Stranger to deceive him even for an hour to appear better off in the world than they really arc. They are secretly tired of home of that plain, quiet, eoin farlable, beautiful decency, which makes home so ear lo a man. Such women are sure to be sluts and hypocrites, just in proportion to the difference they make between their household and the world the stranger and their husband. They go slip shod about the house their caps on one side hair flying loose, and themselves fitter for a horse pond than a marriage bed, or dinner table, till in rnercy to their husband, some stra.ngcr knocks at the door.

Oh but if yB ask a man to dinner with you, you must give him something better than pork and beans. Not if I eat pork and beans myself? But he'll bo offended. Let him. He's a fool if he expects to ho treated at my own house, by my own wife, better than I myself am. Sir, I can tell by looking at tho plate of a man, exactly how he is esteemed by the woman at the head of the table.

Of course. The higher she esteems him, and the more she loves him, the belter he will he helped. Exactly the reverse. The husband will be worst off; and if there bo any particular, dear friend lhat comes often somebody to whom the family are under great obligation, you may knuw hira by the drumsticks in his plate the muddy cider, and the small claws of tho lobster."
