To morrow being the anniversary of the Na. tiona Independence, no paper will be issued from thUoffloe. The only celebration of the day in this city, of a public nature, will be ths display ol fire works oa Fort Green, which are got up on a magnificent scale. The day is one which all who appreciate the liberties we enjoy and the unexampled prosperity with which our country la favored, should unite in honoring. Amid the clashing of politics and the din.

You may fight with DoBBSaad shake hands over the quarrel and become good friends but to tell him tha'PERKrNs mare jan pass his on the Plank road is to make Dobbs an enemy for life. You may spit on Mrs Gcxdy's carpet or even break a piece of her new set of China and hope for amnesty but to say that Mrs Fljns; key's household appurtenances are superior to tne carpet or the tea drinking utensils above mentioned is to incur the penalty of having your name expunged from her "list of friends" without the hope of its ever being replaced To intimate that her squalling baby is any thing but a cherub argues you a monster unfit for civilized society. Tanity Is the aveaue that leads to the good graces of mankind and he who handles the key to that mysterious labyrinth possesses an "open sesame" more potent than that of the hero of the oriental romance. It is a weakness undoubtedly but one from which nobody is ex empt.

True, there is a difference in the manner of applying it some you must touch as gently as the artist in laying on the last colors on a portrait, or the dashing belle in applying a tinge of rouge to her damask cheek, while on others you can trowel it on like plaster on a coat of laths. Some will only snatch at a gilded fly Of praise, while others will swallow the coarsest bait of flattery you can put on the hook. This vanity is the cause of one half the deception that prevails in the world. To dine with a friend without praising his viands, would be the acme of boorishness and ill breeding, although said edibles may be no more agreable to your diges. Uve arrangements than Jonah was to the whale.

Should he introduce his juvenile pro geny during the repast, you must be delighted with their attractions and performances, even should the latter include the soiling of your gar" ments and the upsetting ot the sauce on the table cloth. To give our friends a glimpse o1 themselves "as other see them," would be to oourt their undying enmity. Nothing pleases us so much as to hear whatever we take delight in praised by others whether fast horses, or a new Bilk dress, our furniture or Us heirs of our body and so long as this weakness is incor porated in human nature, the race of flatterers will never become extinct. We are all more or less partial to the soaping process, and all we can do is to see that it is net laid on preparatory to a shave. "There Is a pleasure in the pathless woods," and people are generally preparing to eDjoy it.

Daily do cabs, loaded with trunks and the mem bers of the household, cross the ferry en route for Saratoga, Cape May, or some of the thousand and one watering places along the New England coast. "Committees of Was and Means" in families meet daily to discuss expenses. In one household the daughters have just grown up, and are consequently eager to go to some fashi onable watering place in another, the youn geof io in ita app.ond Summer, anil moot be taken to the country at once in a third the wife is delicate, or the husband thinks himself overworked. Some prefer travelling some prefer quiet boarding on a farm? others the mountains, others the sea shore. All this is well enough.

MoBt persons who can afford leave town for awhile in summer. The change of air, the cessa tion from business, and the difference in dn almost invariably prove beneficial. Women require this relaxation quite as much as men, their household being often harrassing and always depressing. American females generally take bo little open air exercise, and live so much in the house, that if they did not go out of town in summer, they would fade even quicker than they do. But in planning the year's holiday, extra roganoe should bo avoided.

Of late years, watering places generally have become too costly. It is not only that the price of board is high; but the habits of such places beget unnecessary expenses there is too much wine drank by the gentlemen, and too many fine dresses worn by the ladies there is too much riding, boating and other things "not Bet down in the programme." Ia truth, the hotel bill is frequently the smallest part ol the outlay. Families otten forget this, and choose at once as costly a watering place as they can afford, only to had, however, wnen they get there, that their expenses will be doubly vrhut they supposed. The result is that tne lasnionaoies return witn aeiapiuatea pocset books and digestive organs ot of repair. The Female Acadeht.

The usual annual commencement exercises ol the Female Academy will take place on next Friday. A splendid new edifice bas been erected on the site of the old Academy in Joralemon street which, as our readers recollect, was destroyed by fire a year or two ago. Since then the institution has been located iu the.Waring House in Washington st, With the new building, the name of the institution will be changed from the "Female Academy" to the "Packer Collegiate Institute," the name being to commemorate the munificence of Mrs. Packer, who denoted a magnificent sum to purchase out the grounds and erect a new building. Tbe business oi instruction will commence in the new Institution on the second Monday in Sep tember.

It is three times as large as. the old cost thrice the amount. The courses of study In the Female Academy have always been, not only of the most judicious and compre hensive charaoter, combining solidity with pol. ish and refinement, utile et dulce, but the literary achievements of the young ladies in prose and AersB, of which our readers have had specimens in the Eagle, display along with the imaginative freshness ot yonth a correctness of senti ment and maturity of judgment worthy of the most ripe and cultivated intellect. It is one of the best institutions in tbe State, and one to which our citizens should always look with pride and pleasure, as we doubt not they do.

On Saturday night last, officers Hauovan and Dougherty, of the FirBt District police, arrested Eliza Bovle and Peter McCormick for theft. Officer Hanovan reclined himself upon the steps of a house in State '(ftreet, pretending to be asleep, when the pair came up, aud the woman fumbling about his pockets, drew out a pocket book. They were then pounced upon and taken into custody. Wm. Clark resident of Hamilton av.

1 Almost a FiRE." YeBterday afternoon, assome children were playing with matches in tho house occupied by MrThos. 126 North 4th street, they set fire to a bed in the room. By the exertions of a number of policemen who were promptly on the spot, the flames were extinguish; ed, without doing but slight damage. Another, A short time previous to tbe above a fire broke out in the jenny house, kept by Mr. Waterbury iu Bushwick.

The fire originated in some old Hemp which had been thrown from a roap walk adjoining. The firemen were promptly on the spot, and the fire was extinguished with out doing damage to any large amount. A fight occurred between Engine Companies No. 1 of Bushwick and No. 6 of Williamsbureh, when returning from the fire in North 4th street and some bloody noses and black eyes were given and received by both parties.

Eighteen or twenty persons were arrested on Saturday and locked up in the second ward sta tion house for being drunk and disorderly, fight ing and soforth. John Wilson a colored pusson" was arrested yesterday afternoon by officer Murphy of the 2d ward, charged with stealing a gold watch valued at $120, from Charles Hare, another genman" of color. He was searched but the watch not being found in his possession, and there not being sufficient proof of his having committed the theft he was discharged. Michael Feeney was arrested and locked up by officer Van Dyke, of the 2d Ward, for fighting ana creating a disturbance in a house in North Fifth street, about 5 "clock yes lerdav afternoon. A broken head, a night's lodging in the Station House, and $5 to pay in the morning, is rather expensive for a few glasses of Jersey Lieht ning." ain't it But then folks must have their frolics, and some like them in one wav and an other.

Street Preaching. Preacher Parsons, of N. York, delivered a discourse on the corner of Ninth 2d and 6th streets, yesterdav afternoon. A large concourse of people, both male and female, assembled on the ground at three roe appointed hour for the gentleman to make Mb appearance. He did not keep them long waiting, but was prompt to the moment.

The services were opened with singing and prayer, after the conclusion of which Mr. Parsons ascended the platform. He read a long extract from a lecture delivered in Ireland by Father Gavazzi, and denounced the Roman Catholic religion and Popery in geaeral. He said he had been in nearly every part of the world, aud had seen the effect of Romanism iu all countries. He pitched info the Mayor, Chief of Police, and in fact nearly all ofcthe public officers of N.

York city, and made some deBperate thrusts at the President and his Cabinet. In the latter Dart of his address he said that he had alwayB warred against Romanism, alway shroia ou luug as ho livod oad uf, li mere is anv truth iu spirit nal rappmgs, he would torment the Pope of Rome and bis emissaries after he was dead.

A. H. Rerder, Governor of Kansas. The Harrisburgh Oiiore speaks of the rumored appointment of Mr. Eeeder as governor of Kansas as follows We have no Inconsiderable pleasure" in expressing the hearty good Will ol the domooraey of Pennsylvania in favor of the appointment of this gentleman to the honorable post of governor ot Kansas Territory.

The popularity of Mr. Reeder is baaed upon the deservedly high estimation of his moral and political integrity. With talents for sound constitutional law, great experience as a jurist, and various learning, he is fully adequate to serve the public interests in his new position and, in addition, he will command the respect and confidence ot those around him in the administration of the territorial government, by his well known urbanity and courteous deportment. The selection In, this appointment reflects honor on the administration of President Pierce." During the discussion of the measure repealing tne Missouri Compromise a series ot articles appeared in the New York Tribune, coolly calculating the value of the Union, and arriving at the sage conclusion that the separation of the North and South would be a loss to each individual in the iree StateB of forty cents, About this time aB we are informed by authority in which we place implicit confidence a meeting of the proprietors of that paper (some twenty in number) was called to decide what path to pursue it the Missouri Compromise should be repealed. Horace Greeley contended that a course should be adopted calculated to lead to tbe dissolution of Ihe Union.

This proposition mjt with the approval of a majority of the stockholders, and an arrangement was made by which the disunionists were to purchase the interests of their co proprietors. Such is the spirit that animates, and such is the motive that controls the conductors of the New York Tribune, Detroit Advertiser. Soicide. A lad named Henry Merriman aged 13 years, whose parents resided near Louisville, lately cut his throat severing the jugular vein, while laboring under an attack of religions insanity. He was a devout Christian, and had recently lost a little sister, who also belonged to the church.

The subject of meeting his sister after death seemed to engross all his thoughts, he prayed nightly and daily to see her again, and while thus engaged on his knees, he committed the fatal act.

The Rev. John Booth held forth as usual yesterday evening, on the vacant lot near the corner of Atlantic aud Bond street, to a small but respectable congregation, without molesta ticn. The excitement consequent upon street preaching, appears to have fizzled out.

On the art cles presented the following inscription was engraved Presented to William Bbbdon as token ot respeot and esteem, by the employees of the Brooklyn Steam Engine Works Brook lyn, July 1, 1854." Mr. Burdon was taken completely by surprise, as he had no intimation of the honor about to be done him until he was addeessed by Mr. Bennett, the gentleman selected to make the presentation. The address was pertinent to the occasion, referring to the number of years that maDy of the workmen had been employed in the establishment, their feelings of gratitude for the many acts of kindness done them while in his employ, and their many good wishes for his future health and prosperity to which Mr.

Bdrdon responded in a very creditable manner. wanking the donors for their beautifnl and cOBtly present. He reverted to his early life, bis commencement in business, the advantages then and now, and his toil and struggle to attain a position above that which many of his fellow workmen were contented to reach. In retiring from the active relations with the establishment, Mr. Burdon will leave the business in the hands of his brother, D.

P. Burdon, who will associate with him others who have been in the establishment many years, in all of whom we have the utmost confidence and th: works will be carried on a manner that will give the fullest satisfaction to all who may want steam engines or other machinery. We spent a very pleasant afternoon at the Establishment and left it with a very polite in vitation to call again, we nodded in assent and took our leave. The Recent Duel in Florida. We learn lrom a gentleman recently from Florida, that a duel was fought on Monday last, between Uladius Stewart.

and Joseph B. Coker, both young lawyers, resident at Fewnansville, East lorida. The quarrel is reported to have bad its origin in Mr. Uoker's intimating to a young lady that Mr. Stewart bad invited him to be one of his groomsmen on the occasion of bis approaching nuptials with the lady.

It appears that Mr. Stewart had requested Mr. Coker to attend him on the occasion referred to, but at the Bame time enjoining eeorecy in the matter. Mr. Stewart construed the disclosure into a breach of confi dence, and an offence requiring Mr.

Coker nis signature, ana His acknowledgement or me having been guilty of a libel, or the alternative Of a hht with deadly weapons. After ho ofhnth proved unavailing in reconciling the quarrel, tbe parties lett jNewnansviueana proceeded to a ferry some thirty miles distant, where they crossed to tbe appointed plaoe of meeting on the Georgia side, lioth were armed witn double barrelled shot guns. Mr. Stewart's gun was loaded with thirty buck shot. Mr.

(Joker's gun, which chambers three balls, was loaded witn twelve bullets. After firing the first shots, at a distance of seven ty five yards, in case neither fell, they were to advance ten paces and fire a second time; when, if neither was yet hit, they were to advance ten paces more for a tuira snot. At tne first nre Mr. Stewart received three balls, two of them in his left arm and shoulder, rendering, it is said, the amputation of tbat limb necessary. The other ball entered his right breast, and passing upward, lodged in his right shoulder, in front.

Fears were entertained for Mr. life, partly on account of the delay caused by having to send a distance of twenty miles for instruments necessary to the ampntationof nis arm. Jtne attending surgeons nad no instru ments on tbe eround. Two buck shot passed through the breast of the loose garment worn by Mr. News.

btU if ing the late Water Election, and a committee ot three was appointed to investigate the matter. The late "plan" having died, and various rumors beihgifldat with regard to iu dissolution, we presume that the committee is, charged with tbe duty of holding a coroner's inquest on the remains and returning their "verdict We find in the Star a statement of the particulars of the fraud, and in order to save the committee trouble, we would suggest the propriety of their discharging themselves from any faitber consideration ol the subject, as the article in the Star, gives all the informatiou that can be desir. ed on the matter. The case, as laid down by the counsel for the plaintiff, is, that the water aot rendered it necessary for any plan for the introduction of water to be ratified at a popular election, and also provided that at least fitteen days notice of such an election should be given belore its being held. This notice was given bat the places for holding the polls were not desig nated for some days afterwards.

This, says the Star, rendered the whole matter void, and would have nullified the plan even it it been adoptea. It need hardly lie said that the notice was perfectly legal and tbe election, if the vote had been the other way, would have secured water for the city. But supposing an oversight had been committed, and ao. irregularity, involving the legality of the election been the consequencet what should the Common Council have done The Star answers: "The legal and proper course would then have been, to withdraw the notice, and publish a new notice for a later day in We have a kind of faint recollection Of something like this having been proposed, and of a meeting being called on the previous to the ei ction, and a resolution offered to postpone the lection until "a later day in June." If mt03ory does not play traitor, the Star denounc ed that movement and its authors in language of almost fish market vindictiveness. ''But," adds our cotemporary, "to that (the there were two objections; one, that it would have exposed a piece of stupid blundering; the other, that it would have put off the "sell" to the L.

I. Water Works Co. and to Wells fc We did not pretend to say what were the motives of the whig Aldermen who voted against the postponement, or the Star that denounced it as it did; but here they are plainly and openly stat ed. But our cotemporary of the Star having indulged ia slander and vilification of the friends of the measure from the commencement, has become so reckless that it stabs right and left, even to the assassination of itself and friends. Its "infernal machines" explode before they get out of its own hands.

As to the alleged tnodus operandi by which the fraud" in the publication of the notice was perpetrated, it is wiihout any foundation. The Star says The old notice was pulled apart, and the places of holding the polls was slipped in. This was done on the 19 th in the Eagle and afterwards ia tho other Corporation papers but the old date of the 18th was kept to the notices and tbe printers mark in the corner, indicating the first publication of the notices, was also kept there." The additional notice, with the place for holding the polls.was furnished, by the CityClerk with directions to add it to that already in the paper but we never had the slightest intima. aution any source to retain the "private mark' or distinguish the notice from any ordinary advertisement. The whole matter is a ridi oulous mare's nest, and wo do not believe, that the resolution originated with Alderman Fowler: he has always shown himself ready to introduce any matter which may seem to call for an investigation and in all probability was urged to this matter ia that way.

According to the Star the object of the alleged fraud" the falsity of which we have fully expounded, was to sell the City to Wells C. by a course of proceeding that would have nullified the election and knock ed in tbe head all schemes una concoctions to sell the city to a private compauy such as the Star pretends were hatshing. The Water Plan was killed and the Star seems to take plea sure in hacking its remains like Falstait over the body of Hotspbr or the king of whomDRis den writes. Soothed with tbe sound mailing grew vain. Fought all bli bar In o'er And ih'to be routed all bis toes.

And lhr.es be siew lot, Haiti. The Star states that the object of what it calls the fracd was to effect a corrupt bargain with Wells Co. whereas, had the election notice been illegal and the plan been adopted no money could have been expended under it, and no bar. gain foul or fair entered into.

Ocr This is the "fourth regular toast' on all convivial occasions, to which CaptBung, or Lieut, Tompion responds, And there i nothing in the world that the true Yankee believes in more thoroughly than the arm of our National defence." It is part of our creed that the "Constitution," or the Congress," can conquer and subjugate any given country, in tbe shortest possible space of time, and as easy as rolling off a log.

The Wevr Hailrood in the City Trial Trip Tue Railroad Company placed several of the new cars on the routes on Saturday for a trial trio. The stockholders and a number of other gentlemen were invited to join in the expert jnent.

The cars came down Fulton street about three o'clock in the afternoon, the horses deco rated with plumes aud cars shining in all the Bplendor of a first coat of paint. The young democracy were tickled to death" at the sight of tne new vehicles, and as the cars remained Borne time at the foot of Fulton street the boys evidently believing io the squatter sovereignity took, possession of the cars as Mr. Gbeely'b troop threatened to do with the soil of Nebraska; The gentk men present entered the cars and the whole number ot vehicles, some six or seven, Whirled, aloag through Fulton street and Myrtle avenue as fur as the track is laid. It will soon extend to Division avenue where the new piank Xoad to Jamaica commences. The people every.

Where seemed to regard the cars with wonder and delight in fact they exhibited as much animation and excitement in crowding the side Walks and store doors as if they had never seen an thing on wbeeis belore, bejond the structure Ol a wbeeibarrow. A smile was ou every lace, and the babies Crowed lustily in their nurses7 arms. The trip estaolbhed tbe succtss of all the arrangements and the adaptation of the cars to the rails. The Company proceeded over the Fulton avenue tracfc, the Court street track, Sands street, In some places the gravel lodged around thu rails had not been cleared away sufficiently to make the movement perfectly smooth, but a lew runs will remedy all that. Never was any public improvement inaugurated amid a more universal leeling of lavor than these railroads, livery citizen regards their introduction, the low fare and superior accommodations with marked approbation and the entire success ol the undertaking, in every point of view, is ab solutely certain.

Every thing seomed to work in fjLYQV ol the railroads from their commencement: no injunctions, no delays in procuring materials for the work, no rival interest nothing was to be encountered that tended to thwart the prose cution of the enterprise. The vigor manifested by the Compauy, and their punctuality iu having the woik so far completed at the expected time, uffords the proof that the interests of the community will never Buffer iu their hands.
