THE NEW CENTRE MARKET-HOUSE. Mr Moore moved to reconsider the biil passed by this board lest Monday night extending the time for receiving proposals for building the new Centre Market-house Some discussion ensued as to the power of the board to reconsider a vote upon the passage of a bill after it has been passed and been sigued by Ling otflvers of the two boards. . r (W. F. Bayly in the chair) decided that the bill was out of the possession of the board, it baving been signed as above stated; and that it could not therefore be reconsidered, Mr. Moore dissented from the decision of the Chair, and took an appeal. ue question being put, the Chair was sustained by aves +, noes 2. On motion by Mr. Dove, the Secretary was di- rected to return the bill to the Mayor. Mr Price introduced a resolution requesting the Mayor to furnish the board wih the amount of expeuss incurred by the Corporation in main- taining its fire department during the last ive years; passed A bill from the lower board Providing for the expeuse of Corporation priuting and binding during the current fiscal year was received and passed - A bill providing temporary accommodations for the batchers in Centre Market, and for other purposes, was passed. Common Council —The Chair laid before the Board a communication from the Commissioner of the Canal; also, a communication from the Commissioners of the new Centre Market PETITIONS REFERRED. The petition of C Borreman for refunding a portion of an unexpired license, and of M Simons and others for laying a pavement at gutters Mr es offered the following joint resolutions in relation te the new Centre Market: Joint Resonvrions relative to the new Centre Market-house. Resolved, &c., That it is unwise. inexpedient, and unadvisabie on the part of this Corporation to engage in the erection of an ornamental super- structure in connection with the new Centre Market-house, to be us d for the purposes of « public exhibition or assembly room— First. Because of a want of power, the charter of the city nowhere conferring the wer, either by direction or implication, on the Corporation to construct public buildings other than for legiti- mate municipal purposes Second Because if the power existed. there are no means with which to accomplish the work, the amount necessary for which will require to be borrowed without any certain prospect of imme- diate payment. Third. Because If the power existed and the means were available, it would bean unfrotitable Javestinent of the same, experience in this city baving demonstrated fally the fact that asa gen- eral thing public halls do not pay : Fourth. Because the popelss wishes and ideas in regard to public market-houses may undergo a change eventually, resulting in the establishment of a multitude of small private markets, detract- ing materially from the revenues of the peblie ones, and rendering large investments in such structures bazardous, expensive buildings for snch Purposes unnecessary. Fifth. Because if the cest of the néw market is to be defrayed from its revenue, as the cost is in- creased so the interests connected with the market will Be proportionably taxed. When the prir- cipie is applied to the erection of a building for market par, ser oiphn notbing can be more fair and but when applied to the construction of a public ball or ball-room., either in connection with or separate from the market building, it be- comes onorous, oppressive, unjust and unfair, and Perbupe iltezal. S.xth. Becins: the law providing for the erec- tion of a new Centre Market-house does not con- template the erection of an assembly room, and makes no reference thereto, but relatesexelusi vely to a building for market purposes. Resolved farther, That the Commissioners un- der aut iority of the act viding for the ere-tion of a new Centre Market house. are bereby required 0 to modify any plan which they may have in Part adopted or may hereafter adopt, as to omit any Superstracture over the first story thereof.

The lecturer com- menced by referring to the opinion of Plato, Arist: tle, Montesque, and Rousseiu in relation to the subject of which be was that evening to treat ‘The declaration of Rousseau that the morality of an act depended solely on the infention, without any limitation, he reuiarked was false in theor: and in fact. If good intention in company wit {gnorauce and vice could take life, tnen good in- tention in company with law might do precisely the same thi He who took cif the head of his fellow man witha good intention, could not blame another for relieving him of bis also with a like purpose. He did not deny that a man should al- Ways obey the dictates of his conscience, but on the contrary Insisted that he should thus act, and above al y his couscience in seek- Moral Jaw was the great ‘ation of the conseience. Conscience, tuere- fore, w2s not the supreme law of t vorld; there was a law for the conscience itself, according to which it must and will judge. Rousseau would in vain ignore this law; but it is the moral law of the universe, by which lis conscience, and his good intentions will be tried. ‘There were in this day many Rousseau’s, who thought they could not be in the wrong, if they only acted fu conformity with their conscience, because they considered that conscience was in. fallible. Hence they forgot and neglected the first great duty; the duty on which ail others de- pended, viz: the duty to educate and enlighten the consefence itself. Conscience was the vice- gerent of Ged, setup by Him in their breasts, aud therefore should be subject to his instruction It was absolutely limited by those instructions. and needed them greatly. It was not the sun of tue moral world; but it was only the eye by which that asseen. It could not legislate; but merely received and recorded the legislation ef the deeds. It was not the Heavenly voice as Rousseau ealled it. but only the ear into which that vo ce played. In short. conscience was t window of tle soul, located in its lofty dome of Reason, that the light of Heaven might spring tirongh and illuminate immortal range. One of the most dangerous and fat:l errors of man was in is living up to what he st his belief in con- science—iu this way excusing himself for. the committal of the most awful deeds—and men were often praised, uay. even worshipped as he- roves and demi-gods, like Ko! espierre and others, because they lived up to their conscience. It was said that epicurean philosophy was the great cause of the corruption and downfall of Europe. This was indeed so; but it was equally true that the epicurean character had seized on the vitals of Rome ere it was embraced asa doc- trine by the epicarean philosophers. The simple words of Cesar “that men loved darkness better than light, because their deeds were evil.”’ was indeed a great law. Voltaire described the duty of lying ‘on the score of * good intention.”? ‘ Lying,’’ he said, ‘as only a vice when it did harm. It was a great virtue when it did good Let them, then,’ continued Voltaire, + be more virtuous than ever. Let them, like the devil. not timidly, but. boldly, as great ‘politictans should always do. deceive the people.” Away with all such intentions, whether good, bad of indif-r- ent. Were such intentions vood? (ved inten- tions which conceived, plotted and executed the inassacre of St Bartholomew, and then shouted for joy over the deed? Good intentions which throuzh all time bh: icitfed innocence and gl rifled the puilty? od intentions which throug all tue nations and the ayes of the world had con vulsed the world and made it burst into rivers of blood? But let them turn from the horrid apec- tacle to contemplate that sublime good intention of truth and love which the Almighty had re- vezled on purpose to inspire diluted mortais wita infinitely better intentions.

After drinking very freely, Wiley got the check, and went to the bank to have it cashed.

He left for Washington and got a new outtit of clothi Officer Warder, of Alex- andria, followed him, and obtaining the assist- auce of officer Chipley, in this city, went to the Long Bridge and found Wiley, with his new snit of clothes and about $75 of the money left.

I have sacrificed all to you, that a girl can sacrifice, upon your solemn promise to marry me if you should ever enter upon the pos- ‘session of your estate. Now, when there is hope that there may bea change of rulers, now you will sell your estates for half their value. ut, thereby you do not rscape your promise. For, tf you seil them, you have had control of them, and Inust keep your word, so often reiterated to me, to make me your wife, 1f you do not choose to be a ward and perjurer towards the woman who sacrificed all Which she possessed to yon. I have your solemn promise in more than one letter from you in writing, and can, wheu necessary, prove it in court, if | choose. You write that you are in great distress, and require your papers and baggage in order to effect your arrangements. if you want money, you have only to declare to my aunt at New Orleans, that you will be true to your word, and you will have the balance of my fortune, 30.000 franes, at your disposal. With rope, and you can sell s yourself, Without losing one half, ; if you confess to me yourself, you are obliged to do. If you have honorable intentions towards me, you will unreservedly accept my propesals.

If in that case you care for your papers and effects, yos can come and tike them from me in person.” I perceive well that if, as you heped, you had obtained money in Washington, to wait for the settlement of your business, you would notdeve written to me any more, and after concluding the business would bave sent’ me a sum of money such as night be wiven tu a lorette at Paris, of which you would rid yourself.

He incidentally stated that the gallery was open free to the public schools, and that last year while they had three or four thousand visiters from these in- Stitutions ouly. about one thousand of the citizeas. out of a population of sixty or seventy thousand. had purchased tickets of admission.

Tue Unrortcnate Sr. Vatextixe.—“Good morning, ‘tis St. Valentine’s Day”—so sings the fair Ophelia, and though old ceremonies no lon- ger give their wonted charm to the occasion, the lay is still noteworthy. Of late, however, it has been voted somewhat of a nuisance The origin of the day has been the subject of much upcertain inquiry, and who St. Valentée was is a ‘mooted point. We have read somewhere that St. Valen- tine was a lady of the cold court of St. Louis, and was the most beautiful, stateliest, as well as the coldest maiden there. She was besi bya score of lovers, who were continually annoying her by throwing i-dour in her way, until at last it became vely unbearable, and she was obliged to seek refuge from persecution within the *-cloister’s pale’’: ~-Till tired of courts and courtiers, She sought the ‘cloister’s pale.” And calmly had her bair cut off. And calmly took the veil But after she had done this she felt dee and she found the reception of billet-dour was not disagreeable after all. She missed them so much that sue was sorely distressed, and em- ployed fasting and prayer to mortify the flesh and drive such worldly thoughts from memory. It was all in vain. Her fastings and flagellations at length became the admiration of the country, and she was even- tually raised to the position of an abbess. The strugele, however, was too much, and she slowly pined away, until “One night, unto her pallet side > She cailed the nuns, and said, ‘No doubt they'll make a saint of me, AS 500n as | am dead Remember, sisters, if they do, ‘The patron saint Vil be Of lovers and of ladies, Who shail warning take by me.’ “’ regret, RELIctovs.—At st.
