NEW YORK HERALD. w York, Tuesday, March 1, 1942, Steam ship Caledonia, We are still without tidings of thissteamer. She fhad not reached Halifax lust Friday. If she arrived there any time after that, orders had teen issued for fher to remain. So we shall not know for at least a week whether she be safe or not.

ONE DAY LATER FROM LONDON. ARRIVAL OF THE ROSCIUS. ‘The fast saillng packet ship Roscius,Capt. Collins, arrived last night from Liverpool, whence she sailed Jan. 14th; she brings us full files, including one day later from London, but nothing later from Liver” pool. There is no news of any political interest. The personal quarrel between the King of the French and the Emperor Nicholas grows stale; and as nei- ther of them are likely to add piquancy to the quar- rel by personalinvectives, the public naturally grows tired of it. The Tories are struggling with might and main to prevent the return of Lord Morpeth for the Irish metropolis. They parade the amount of the sums which they are prepared to spend im bribery and corruption. °, Consols have again fallen. The Kings of Prussia and Belgium are in London, on a visit tothe Queen. Tne Court, &c.—Her Majesty will hold draw- ing-rooms at St. James’s immediately efter the christening of the Prince of Wales; and we are in- formed upen an authority competent to form an opinion, that they will be more numerously attended and more splendid than any that have occurred for the last twenty-five years. The season will, con- sequently, commence at an unusually early period in London, and the fashionable hotels will be thronged by foreigners who are expected in this country. Wy know that itis the intention of the Court to spare no pains to make the reception of the King of Prassia in this country as brilliant as poseible, and that a series of fetes, of the moat brillant description, will be given in honor of his majesty.—Court Journal. There is @ little later news trom Paris. Letters from Paris announce that orders are going to be forwarded to disarm two ships of the line, The Ministry believe, perhaps, that the English are di- minishing their squadron id the Mediterranean, be- cause some of their ships have left Malta, steeringto the coast of Spain ; but we know that other ships will come in their stead, and that, besides, a great number are stationed in the Tagus, at Cadiz, and Gibraltar —Le Commerce, Jan. 11.

Crosby street Climique—Presentation of Tes- timonial to Dr. Quackenboss, The surgical clinique of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, was as usual attended by a crowd of students and junior practitioners. The cases were numerous and interesting, and elicited very useful remarks from Professor Pasxen, whose plain and practical manner of explaining the natare of the cases, and their appropriate treatment, is very well adapted to communicate valuable information to the students. A full report of the cases willbe giv- en in the Lancet. After the proceedings of the clinique were over, a meeting of the students took place, for the purpose of presenting an address and testimonial to Dr. Qvacxennoss, the able demonsirator of anatomy. The address, which was very well written, express- ed the warm esteem which the students universally entertain for Dr. Quackenboss, and alluded in terms of high approbation to the able and efficient manner in which that gentleman had occupied the place of Dr. Warts, the learned Profesaor of Anatomy, dur- ing bis lamented illness. The chairman of the meeting, after reading the address, presented to Dr. Quackenboss, a case con- taining a very superb set of surgical instraments, with an appropriate inscription. Dr. Quackennoss briefly and eloquently replied, and expressed the deep sense of gratitude with which he received these flattering evidences of the regard and esteem of his pupils, to whose attention and indulgence much of that success which they had been pleased to ascribe to his labore, had un- doubtedly been owing. The classes have for the present closed, both at the College and the Stuyvesant school, and a whole regiment of young M. D.’s have departed to bless the country with their scientific skill. Sprixe Fasnion ror Hats.—Orlanda Fish has just got out his elegant spring fashion in the article of Hats. This style is the second of the series of original American fashions as commenced by Mr. Fish last fa!l ; and the elegant and unique style of this hat cannot be surpassed. It is also ten per cent cheaper than most stores—the price being but $4,50 tor the best quality. We shall consider these the best and cheapest hats in the city till we see any better. Rerorrep Loss or tHe U.S. Scan. GramPpus — A report was very current in Boston last Saturday evening, that the U. S. schooner Grampus, Captain Van Brunt, had been lost in the late severe gale, and that two of her beats and some of her spars had been picked up and earried into New Bed- ford. Steam Suir Curpg, Captain Woodruff, will leave this morning at five o’clock, for Halifax. Cxratnam THeatre —Thorne against the world. The Chatham Theatre has been full before and fre- quently, but never so absolutely overflowing as last evening. Sefton went through the part of Jemmy Twitcher in his hgppiest style, convulsing the house with laughter throughout the performance. This evening this much admired piece is to be repeated with the addition of the ‘ Rival Pages,” and the brilliant piece of “ Paris and London,” in which Mrs. Thorne plays Rose. Parx TueatRe.—The aew comedy of “Cuances O’Mautey,” presented at this theatre last evening, was well received by a respectably filled house. It contains mach humor, und ag an acting play is equal to any of the new dramas recently produced. A little pruning will benefit it, however. City Intelligence. Cast or Somes tae Counrenrerrer.—In the re- port of this case published in yesterday morning's Herald, it was stated on the evidence of Hawkins, that he had given the money received in change for the counterfeit note passed on Mr. Moss, te Mr. Se- bastian Pollock, with a request for him to give it to Somes. Mr. Poilock informs us that such is net the case. He says he never received any money from Hawkins as alleged, and that the only acquaintance he has had with either of them was from their stop- ping at the place where he is engaged as a clerk.— He also says that he previously cautioned Hawkins to beware of Somes, as he had reason to believe that he was a bad man, and would get him into diffi- culty. Paseo Counterrgit Quanter Dotians.—An eld bruiser named James McGuire, entered the store of John Bennett, in Grand street, on Sunda’ night, and presented two quarter dollars, for errs he asked a half inexchange. Upon being told that they were counterfeit he commenced an attack on Bennett, and beat him severely, but was finally ar- rested and committed. Tue Evin Reevira cr Evin Ways—A young man named Edward Clancy, of Pennsylvania, while on a Visit to this city, a few weeks since, was indu- ced to accompany one of the city cyprians, named Jane Montgomery, toa dea of infamy, kept by a man named Charles Stone, alias French Jack, in Warren street, a few doors from Greenwich, and while within the premises was robbed of $250. He entered complaint yesterday at the Police, when Prince John Davis, and officers James L. Smith and Walker, started forth, and ina short time Freach Jack and his pal were before the Police Justices.— They were locked up for trial, bat as usual in such cages, will in all provabllity escape that punishment they justly deserve. Cieanine A Warpnone.—A man named Jamss Jones, was arrested yesterday, by oflicers Colvin and Frank Smith, charged with stealing three silk dresses, a cloth cloak and calico frock, which he had stolen from Catharine Reed, corner of hat and Centre streets. He was fully commit- ted. Cavour witn nis Taerr vrox nis Heap —On Saturday evening the house of Alexander Softa, No 8 Sixth Avenue, was entered by some person, and three fur caps stolen,valued at $3,50.

Orville Taylor's Lecture en Public Sehoo!s, Last Night, befere the Mechan- lea’ Institute, This lecture wes attended by a very large and respectable body of la and gentlemen, and went off with great éclat.

I see in the distance a dahlia, a showy, magnificent flower, though without fragrance, large inite volume, splen- did in coloring. By ite side is the moss roe, equal in coloring and beauty.

But, suppose I am privileged to go and pluck one of them, a pariner {or life, whichde [ take? (Applause.) _ But, indies, what is fashionable female educa- tion? Does it not aim more at the gilding than the gold?) More at the accomplishments than the ac- quirements! Perbaps it is rightly termed accom- plishment—as it is intended to accomplish acertein thing—matrimony. (Laughter.) Do we not value afemale’s education more for its show than its use more for what it ceste than for what it is worth? In educating females, we load the fingers with jew- els, but cut off the muscles«fthe wrist. (Applause, and a strong feeling through the audience.)

Why are there 6o many ehil- dien in the United States without the means even of a common education? Why are the school: low in character?

Of all these heavy curses will your children, however separate you may keep them while young, be equal pirtakers.

The Mayer recommends that an amendment be made to the bill, to the effect, that instead of requiring this eity to eupport the paupers who may become charge- able to the county of Kings, it should be only required to hand over to the authorities of Kings, either the amount the corporation has received as commutation for the particular paupers, or the security given to this city to indemnify her against the particular person; otherwise this city will be compelled to in- peer the county of Kings out of her own funds. A resolution was then presented by Alderman Leo- nard to the above efivct, and also calling upon the counsel of the Board to prepare a petition to be for- warded to the legislature, which was adopted.

The reasons given were its great expenses, in pro- portion to piers constructed of weod. The Committee on Laws reported in favor of ask- ing the Legislature of the State to pasa law to al- low the Common Council to alter the boundaries of the several wards in the city once in every ten years if it shall be deemed expedient, so as to make them contain as near as pessivle,an equal representation in the city councils. Alderman Woopmutt, of the Second, moved to amend by caning, necessary for the Legislature to sanction such division before it should be legal. After considerable debate, the report was reterred back to the committee, with instructions te reporta plan of division at the next meeting of the Board.

It was stated by Alderman Benson, that the reason for this recommendation was owing to the negiect of the collector of city revenue, in nor calling upon the butchers to obtain the rents due from them in accordanee with his duty. 1t was also due by the future payment. Alderman Brxson copteded that if this plaa was evidence of @ Te adopted, it would be linguishment of a cy gad months, and who are not naturalized Price of license to be three dollars for five dollars for two; po cab te in the streews on Sunday under a Fare for one mile,’ twenty-five senger, fifteew three quarter ceatefor al one; by the day four dollare; by the two and a half cents.

He continued by saying that he believed it to he a dishonest intentie: Alderman Puapy called him to order for the in- sult thus offered to a respectable man, who was as honest or honorable, as the gentleman who made the assertion. Mr. Jonxs then took his seat, andthe report was finally referred to the Finance Committee. Report in favor of applyingto the legislature ‘or permission to close Eleventh street, between Broad- way and the Bowery, was adopted. ‘The ordinnace relative to the reorganization of the Fire Department, as previously reported, was then taken up. Aldermen Puapy and Leoxarp stated that it was far better that the CommonConacil should not make any definite action upon this subject until after the Croton water was received into the city, when an entire change would be neceesary. This view of the case was also concurred in by Alderman Beason. He was followed by Alderman Woopavtt, who stated that the new police bill, although as yet in the moon, might interfere with this ordinance, and he hoped it wou'd be referred back. i Alderman Hartriery stated that the ordinance was in accordance with the views of the Chief En- ‘imeer, and a majority of the Fire depenweat, aad he therefore hoped that a day would be fixed on which the ordinance might be acted upon, and con- cluded by ofiering a resolution to fix the pay of the Chief Engineer fat $1000 per annum, which was laid upon the table witn the ordinance, for action at the next meeting of the Board.

Assistant Alderman Sxater afterwards offereda resolution to this effect, but it was deemed to be unnecessary, and lost. Mr. Murray moved an amendment, that the term be shortened from fifiy years 10 twenty: five. He supposed the cily debt of $12,000,000 would have to be paid some time or other, and he thought twenty-five years quite long eneugh to put the pro- perty of vary are out of our hands.—Carried 9 tc 8. Assistant Alderman Lee moved a reconsidera- tion, on the grand, that the maintenance of three mutes would be equivalent te $750 a year reht, which was more than the land for the first twent: five years would be worth, but in that period it might, become valuable, and afford some little profit to the institu: This produced oon: the whole subject of } ligious and benevoleut institutions was brought up.
