As soon as he was through, an Abolition preacher rose to answer him; but before he had finished, the meeting broke out. It wasa singular scene, All the youth, beauty, and fashion of the female portion of the Hicksites were present, and a mos iant group they formed. Among the entlemen noticed Cornelius W. Lawrence, 7, Captain Coleman of the Astorhouse, Abraham Esq,, and several other distinguished citizens. shall endeavor to find room for the sermon to- morrow In the mean time, we may state, as a sample of his remarks the following.

L. Stone, editor of the Commercial Advertiser, for a libel on | the Court of Oyer and Terminer, was brought upto point that wisely separates the District At- torney’s speech from the Judge’s charge to the ury. For four days during last week, the Oyer and Terminer was occupied with hearing the evidence, d listening to the pleadings in this case. To-day at 10 o'clock the Court again opens, and Judge Kent will probably deliver one of the most interest- ing charges on the law of libel and the liberty of the press, that ever was given to the world. We expect this from his great talents—from his high moral feglings—from his independent character. Expecting thus of the Judge we have made ar- rangements by meas of our admirable corps of re- porters, and our vast physical and mechanical ap- paratus, to publish this able Charge, in an EXTRA HERALD in twenty-five minutes after the Judge shall have delivered it to the jury. So look out newsboys and newsmongers. Now for a word of truth and soberness on this trial—this singular trial—this extraordinary trial. We have heretofore cautiously avoided making any remarks on the very extraordinary develope- ments which the examination of the witnesses, and the speeches of counsel, have made. We had no desire to say a word that might lay a straw in the way of Col. Stone, although for years he has pur- sued us like a hyena—abused us in public and in private—and behaved more like a heathen than an amiable Christian. We have no wish that it should gohard with him, although he and his clique have done all they could do to destroy our reputation, and to prostrate our establishment. We trust, and hope, and pray, to Heaven, that he may have a safe deliverance, and that he may, from this day for- ward, begin a decided moral reform in the quality and kind of his feelings and emotions, to be enter- tained toward his fellow editors and fellow men. Of the very extraordinary evidence given on that trial by the several witnesses, and particularly by Judge Noah, we shall give a fair and candid opin- ion hereafier. Indeed, the perusal of that evidence has astonished us. Why ? We find Judge Noah kind- ly desiring to have a nolle prosequi entered up in our case, on the avowed ground that the whole prosecu- tion against us wasa mere bagatelle,while at the same time,the self-same Judge, in the witness stand, ac- knowledges that he was one of the first to give the cue or inkling of the conspiracy to poor Stone, which formed the basis of the attack on the two Aldermen on the Bench, because they only inflicted a fine of $350. When we came to this part of the evidence we burst out into this Shaksperian strain :— Ha! hat ha! Ho! hot ho! He! he! he! So, by this singular disclosure, it would appear that Stone was merely used as a very respectable catspaw for fighting other person's quarrels. On this ground alone we would have some bowels of com- passion for him—and treat him as tenderly as pos sible—as tenderly as a poor pigeon dove. Another funny feature of the evidence isthe state- ment that ‘several ladies” went to Judge Noah to intercede for the sinner of the Herald. We should like to know who these ladies were, in order that we could thank them in person for their good sense» good taste, good feelings, and good looks—for such ladies must be beautiful. This is a fact that we never heard of before—but it shows what we have always said, that the ladies of New York take a deep and abiding interest in the welfare and pros perity of the New York Herald and its wonderful editor, and that they stick to us through evil and through good report. God bless them from the bot, tom of our heart. But enough—and probably more than enough of comment on the evidence. In these few words we wish to say nothing to interfere with the operation of justice—or disrepectful to the honorable court. After the close of this trial we shall take up the subject and review it at length, comprehending also the miserable attempts made against our very ex- cellent counsel, John A. Morrell, Esq., who throughout that affair conducted himself with the greatest talent, skill, tack and unsullied honor, asa counsel, a man and a Christian. He never degraded his character as an honorabie counsel, by savage attacks on the reputation of third parties, not on the record. He never affected to be a saint, but acted like a heathen. There is, however, one or two features that we cannot pass over. The false and libellous charges which have been heaped of late upon our character and our journal, shall not pass away without some legal action. Hiram Ketchum, in defending his client, had no legal right to assail our reputation, which in point of morals, intellect and every element that constitutes a man, is at least equal to his, orto that of any other man that crawls over the stones of Wall street. In his opening speech he charged us with “levying black mail”—with all sorts of cofruption and abomination. These and all other charges we pronounce, foul and audacious libels —foul and audacious falsehoods of the deepest and blackest dye—and we shall ascertain, by an action for libel against this man, whether a counsel has a right to go beyond the record, and to assail other men’s reputation not on trial—not even a witness— not in any way concerned with the affair. David Gra- ham, his associate counsel, did not go so far on the road to error as Ketchum, but even David went too far in his allusions and remarke—and in his late ox- cellent, talented and worthy father could have heard his words in hia green grave, he would have rebuked hisson with a gentle sigh of reproach from that eternity in which he enjoys, as he deserves, everlasting bliss and happiness. We cannot—we will not any longer pass over these matters—or permit the cliques and organs of Wall street, to trample upon our name, our charac- ter, our reputation, and our rights. On the 6th of the present month, seven years were completed since we first started the New York Herald— and during the whole of that period we have been persecuted and calumniated by a wicked and malicious conspiracy of editors, financiers, brokers, politicians and bankrupts, whose cen- tre is in Wall street, and extremities in the bottomless pit. In the course of that time we have accomplished greater results in the vast field of moral, financial, political and intellectual reform, tham any single editor, in any country, ever did. We started our career on the broad basis of truth, justice, morals, religion, science, and sound princi- ples in banking, commerce and currency. We cast off at once and forever the control and authority of cliques, and planted ourself on the broad field of American mind, American thought, and American independence. The Wall street cigues—the Wall street newspapers felt their power at stake, and for seven years they have been endeavoring to destroy ourcharacter—to accomplish our ruin—and to put down our establishment—and to consign us to in- famy and contempt. But they have failed—the American people have supported us, because we were right—and we have at this moment a living evidence of this fact, in possessing a larger cireula- tion than all the Wall street prints in existence. Our aggregate circulation at this moment is THIRTY THOUSAND copies, ‘and increasing daily. ‘This is the whole secret of the vindictive perse- cutions that we have borne—and of the ridiculous attempts to put down a man and principles that form one of the great features of the present age of the world. The Wall street prints and Wall street Jiques never would care a button for our morals, if we did not “ head off” their bad schemes, and pub- lish a better, and more popular paper. Not they.

Proceedings of both Houses, Mr. Benton gave notice in the Senate this morn- ing, that he would on Monday introduée a bill for the armed occupation of that part of Florida which isliable to disturbance by the Indians, agreeably to the suggestion of the President. Some private bu- siaess Was transacted, and at one o'clock the Senate went into executive session. It is understood that the naval nominations are to be taken up. The question first to be settled is whether the Senate will agree to the increase recommended by the Se- cretary of the Navy. If that is decided in the affir- mative, the nominations will generally be con- firmed without delay. In the House, an hour or upwards was spent in squabbling about a resolution offered by Mr. Dodge of Wisconsin, inquiring into some of Goy. Doty’s eccentricities, After amending the preamble, the resolution was adopted. The Appropriation Bill was then taken up, and the House is now engaged upon the Senate amendments. The amendment of the Senate which increased the appropriation for the Boston Custom-house from fifty to one hun- dred thousand dollars, and which the House had disagreed to, was insisted upon by the Senate, and the House now insists by a vote of 79 to 71. The House will occupy the day upon the amend- ments. Ruove Istaxp.—The great mass democratic meeting, on the state of affairs in Rhode Island, will be held to-morrow afternoon in the Park.

Yesterday we received the following flaming article from the charter party in Providence :— A Horrible Plot Discovered !t A most foul and ferocious plot to butéher the people of Providence, has just come to Met. Evidence, conclusive, and of the very highest authority, can be produced to tablish the folloWing statement, that Thomas W. Dorr did, previous tolhis leaving this city, write a letter to Levi D. Slainm, Editor of the New Era, of the city of New York, requesting him to raise five hundred men in that city to be sent armed to Rhode Island! ‘This letter was shown by Mr. Slamm to a gentleman of this city, who is a strong Suffrage man, and was supposed to be in favor of Dorr, and his course of violence and blood. Ina spirit of independence and goo citizenship, which does him great honor, he informed Dorr, upon his arrival in New York, that he should go with him in no forclble measures, and communicated to him the knowledge he had of (Dorr’s) application to Slamm, which Dorr ackno ledged to be true, We insert the following statement of two individuals of this city of undoubted credibility to establish the gene- ral fact that Dorr has made such an application. more particular statement will be forthcoming if the fact is de- nie e hereby state that we returned from New York morning, and while there, learned from unquestiona- authority, that Thomas W.

Docror Bsxxerr:— Siri It is reported in this city and elsewhere, and gene- rally believed by persons unfriendly to the Mor- mons, or “Latter Day Saints,” that, like the shak- ing quakers, they hold their property in common stock, and that the menand women connect ia promiscuous intercourse without any regard to the holy bonds of matrimony. Now I assure you, sir, that these are slanders put into the mouths of their enemies by the father of lies, the devil, having no foundation in truth. Ist. Property, real and personal, is held by indi- viduals in the same way and with equal security as amon all other citizens of this country. 2. There is no people on earth who are more cir- cumapect in their behaviour, nor who hold the mat- rimonial tie in more sacred reverence than the Mor- mons or ‘* Latter Day Saints.” 3d. ‘They are Christians in the fullest sense of the term, believing in the Old and New Testament as inspired books, revelations delivered on the Eastern Continent, andin the “* Book of Mormon” as a collateral corroborative history, embracing an ac- count of the aborigines, and the Ancient Church of Christ, that is said to have been established on this continent, at an early period of the Christian era.— The Book of Mormon is not received by them as a sonra and distinct revelation. for the government of the human family, nor does the ** Prophet Joseph”* claim any other merit but the finding of it where it was deposited, nor does he claim even this, as both the finding and the translation have it is asserted, have been the work of Divine Providence, trom the direction of the holy spirit. Do notall the sects profess to be directed by the holy spirit? The Quakers, or Friends,are moved, both men and women, to speak and actby it. So are the Metho- dista and Baptists, as well as most other sects, Why thea should it be objected to, that a good man, un- der the same influence, should not t directed to find a hidden treasure which may prove of great value to our race ? eving, as t. i ity | can see nothing in it unworth: though I am no Mormon; at least, I have not been immersed yet. I intend, however, to make a re- quest of the Prophet Joseph, should I decide on joining his church, to have the honor of the first dip in the baptismal fount in the great temple now be- ing erected in the city of Nauvoo, Illinois. Again, is the seeing of a vision now any more wonderful than it was in the time of Paul? Has God changed? Has religion changed? That is, the sentiment of religion. Hes the constitution of man changed? Docs he'not possess the same senses, same passions, the same desire of happiness,the same hope of immortality, that he did in the time ot Abra- hain, Mosesor Jesus? Does not the earth revolve on its axis and perform its periodic revolutions in its orbit,as it did in ancienttimes? Do not animals and vegetables originate froma germ, mature and deca as they did in the days of miracles as they are call- ed? Does not the sun rule the day and the moon the night, asin former times? ‘Then, why not the holy apirit, which we all must believe pervades and fills universal nature, influenee the soul of man now asin former times? “ Thy spirit doth in my spirit shine, As shines the sun beam in adrop of dew.” No man can prove the negative. We therefore should not permit our prejudice to condemn what we may not be able to comprehend. We should judge the tree by its fruit.

The Olive sailed from New York on the 28th Feb,, 1841. From Cape Hatteras to Cape Fear she encountered very severe weather.

As the rain still continues, I have only heard from my nearest neighbor, Mr. N., who has lost a greater number of glass, though his were principally from hot beds in his garden. 1 placed six hail stones brought in from the rain after the hail ceased, upon a scale, which measured full sixinches. Each one was an inch in diameter, and almost as solid as a musket Thousands of the same size might have been gathered, and doubtless many larger, if gathered sooner.” Caxapa Eyrenerise.—Our Canadian neighbors are really going ahead since they have commenced feeding liberally on Yankee breadstufls. ‘They are about to establish a line of steamers on Lake Erie to touch at the ports over the water, and the Port Ilaron Advertiser states that the Canada road, through from Port Sarnia, opposite Port Huron, to London, U.C., is ina fair way of completion as « plank road, the company being actively engaged inthe work.

Kult ill Ralnatinathene Avotuer Deen 1s New Orrrans.—We learn by the evening papers that a duel came off yesterday morning, when one of the parties received a pistol shot, and died in an hour or two afterwards. The Jeffersonian appears to rejoice that we have a law inst dueling, even if it is a dead letter.—Nei ‘Orleans Bulletin, May 4. New Books, Periodicals &c. Tue “ Lyesvm Reporter ano Creneat: Mise ‘RLLANY,” published by Smith & Cooke, 131 sau street, and edited by Joseph W. Wright, Civil Engineer, in entering upon a field hitherto unoceu- pied, bids fair, if its prospectus is fully carried out, of being a veiy interesting and useful journal. The editor, who i¢ the atither of a Frammaron the Eng- lish language, seems to wish to revive, how the exploded and useless fashion of spelling words end- ing withe with the additionof k. For instanee—he spells public, jeswitie, critic, and similar words, pub- lick, jesuitick, evitick, Se. This may be correct, ac- cording to ancient usages, but we doubt whether he will induce the public to use again what they have cast aside as superfluous. The “ Lapigs’ Costramion,” for May, published by W. W. Snowden, 109 Fulton street, comes to us, as usual, with much interesting matter. The plates, which accompany this number—one re- presenting ‘‘ Deer Stalking” in the Highlands of Scotland, and the other entitled “ The Young Mu- sician,” are both excellent. Mixed up, however, with the good, there is some indifferent, and also some matter positively frivolous and useless. On the whole, we presume, however, the ladies will read it, and continue to patronise it. The “ Kxickgreocker” for this month, published by John Bisco, 139 Nassau street, sustains the high character which it has obtained for sterling worth, in its original papers and editorial criticisms. Among the latter we notice one of ‘ Ahnsuerus,” a poem by a Virginian, which is written io an independent manner. The writer has read the poem without re- ferenes to politics, and in consequence gives a fair, honest and impartial criticism. We recommen our readers to peruse it. The “ Boston Miscetiany,” published by "Brad- bury, Soden & Co.—We find nothing worth men- tioning in this, but a plate entitled the “ Oaken Bucket,” and another of Paris Fashions, which are both good. “Arcturus,” by George L. Curry & Co., 156 Broadway, contains an article on Criticism, which worthy of attention. There is the usual number of entertaining sketches, and the city article, on the case of the Creole, takes the iight ground, though we hope that thisquestion has, ere now, been settled by Lord Ashburton at Washington. The “Democratic Review,” contains the usual amount of matter, a large proportion of which pos- sesses no interest but for the political partisan.— There is an elaborate article exposing the misstate- ments in. James’, Naval Occurrences, and the re- marks of the Edinburgh Review thereon, ard on Cooper’s Naval History, with some other papers, which will repay the reader, however, for a perusal. “ Hont’s Mencuant’s Macazine.”—This valua- ble mercantile Journal, with its masses of statistics and general information, so important and interest- ing to all engaged in commerce and trade, must be read by those whom it more particularly concerns, to enable them to judge of the service it will be to them, for reference &c. merican edition of the Foreign Quarrer- ished by J. M. Mason of this city, ens, in acheap form, with this, one of the choicest of the British periodicals. It contains an article on the French Police, the creed of the Druzes in Syria, and other interesting matter. The “ Epixsuncu Review” is republished also by Mrs. Mason; it contains an article on the relations ee races England, and America, one on the Bud- get of Sir R. Peel, and other interesting and valua- ble matter, including a review of a work onthe ac- tion of Glaciers. No. 1 of “ Hecror O’Hantoraw ann ts May,” by W.H. Maxwell, is published, with illustrations, by D, Appleton & Co. The author’s reputation ren- ders it unnecessary for us to recommend this work, which its readers will find both amusing and inter- esting. The “Sovrnern Literary Messenger” for April 1842, published in Richmond, Va., by T. White, has reached us, and contains an unusual amount of excellent and deeply interesting matter. ‘The first article is one full of deep interest to the inhabitants of this city, being a notice of Fitz Green Halleck, our well known and esteemed poct. The whole contents of this popular Periodical merit an attentive perusal, and as the citizens of our glorious republic patronise merit in contradistinction to rank, we feel confident that it will meet with the support and patronage which it deserves. Tue Cartouic Exrosrror for May, published at 163 Fulton street, is devoted to the advancement of Roman Catholicism, and from the matter which it contains will no doubt be read extensively by those of that persuasion.

Dicrionary or Arts, Manuracrures anp Mives —By Andrew Ure, M. D., F. R. S., &c. §¢.—The 6th number of this work has reached us from La Roy Sunderland, 138 Fulton street. It contains an amount of information onthe manufactures, &c. of great Britain, not to be found in any other work extant, and should be in the hands of every one who desires information on this subject. ¥ The same publisher has issued the first number of a New Periodical, to be entitled the Mayer, de- voted to the consideration of Puysio.ocy, Pure- NoLoay, Puysiocnomy, PatuaGromy, PsycHotocy, and Maanetism, These subjects embrace a wide field, and will give ample scope for an_able person bly. t orm- to make a hi M interesting journal.

An Exposition oF THE My iy | the late Lord Bishop of Chester—Published by D. Appleton & Co., 200 Broadway.—This isa treatise ot 600 pages in explanation of what the Episcopalians term the postles’ Creed. If it needs this emount of print to explain what is comprised in a dozen lines, we imagine thatthe ereed can, hardly compare in sim- plicity with the Bible, or with the expressed mission of our Lord Jesus, who taught so simply that a foo! could understand him.

The warblers are in the midst of their annual concerts, and the ladies spinning street-yarn.

Thus wags the world with us, as Time, that old grave digger, passes us along to his great cemetery—Eternity. Financial matters have not changed materially since my last, except that ‘“Crackee money” is growing quite plentiful—the Erie Bank having madé arrangements to issue $850,000 of it, and is now cracking it off at the rate of $2,000 per day ; which is paid out to the contractors on the Canal, and goes immediately into circulation. An attempt was made a few days since to cry it down in Pittsburg ; for what reason I know not, except that some of our merchants had gone there with large amounts to ex- change it for eastern drafts. The young monster is in statu quo, the assignees in Philadelphia having come to the conclusion it was not a good policy to be too ‘‘wolfish” about collecting their debte. Religious mattets are going altead ‘witha perfect looseness." At the “ New-Light” Presbyterian Church, there is a roaring revival, which has been kept up for the last three weeks, where scores of the “old and young, grave and gay,” are “forsakitig the world and its follies, and giving theit Héarls td God.” Mr. Clark, of Pittsburg, isthe great “Apostle of light.” The Methodists have just concluded one in which they were very successful.

Neither General Reed com- menced the one he has had in comtemplation for some time; however, I presume he wishes Uncle Sam to test the matter first, i Politics are quite dull—with the exception of an ef- fort by some of the Tyler Whigs, and Democrats, to form ‘a ‘‘working mens’ ”” party. How it will suc- ceed is amongst tne things that maybe. The: elected the Burgess and a majority of the Council at the late charter election, , Operations on this division, of the Canal are eus- perided; at least, so far as getting pay from the State at present is concerned. ‘Thisisa great bore on us. With the whole line except three and a half mi ‘eomplete, to suspend operations is insufferable. Was the line once complete from here to Beaver, on the Ohio River, a distance of pay one hundred and thirty-seven miles, 1 have no hesitation in saying it would be the most profitable imiprovement in thé State, it being the shortest, and most direet rout from Western New York and the Canadas, to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The coal itself would pay for the canal in a few years, to say nothing of the other trade. It is in agitation to procure an act at the adjourned session of the Legislature, to allow the counties through which it. passes, viz: Erie, Crawford, and Mercer, to make it themselves, either by an arrangement of state tax or otherwise. The proposition to sell the State Improvements to incorporated companies, will not go down in Penti- sylvania—mark the prediction. Amongst the other acquisitions to our pace, I have the pleasure to state the fact that a Female Seminary and Boarding School, of the highest order, has been instituted here. ‘The large building recently called the Gnilid States Hotel, beautifully situated on the bank of the bay, with ‘ fine garde; attached to it, has been rented and fitted ap with every convenience and comfort, for that The Rev.

A splendid party was given last night in_honor of the nuptials, by Monsieur Hamot, one of our French nabobs.

Nay, I ask this in none of the common jesting of the day.— ‘Tom was once_a citizen of this place. His father came here in 1812 from Canada, where he refused to take the oath of allegiance to his majesty, and consequently had to “‘step out.” He ed in this county ever since. Tom and Horace Greely emigrated from here to your city about one time.— Horace was a singul awkward looking tow- headed younster when he left, but has matured into a distinguished éditor. But Tom, the rascal! managed to. worm. himself into office, and then Swartwouted with the deposites. Know ye, my dear sir, that we have become one of the most exemplary communities in Christendom. Our gaol has been advertised to let for some time, for the want of aj riate occupants. And the only case of moment tried at the late Court of ae ter Sessions, was a suit, brought for damages claim- ed by one Noah 8. C—, for indignities shown his person by a youngster, by the name of John G. C—, on Newyear’s evening last. It was a mort aggravated case. The plaintiff having received sundry severe kicks upon the posterior portion of the body, inflicted by an unguarded use of the high heeled boots of the defendant—sundry extensive lacerations about’ the organs of vision, added to a most unssemly distortion of his beautiful ringlets, and asertmus hoarseness caused by an over exertion of voice, in calling for help. On examination of the testimony, it-was clearly proven, that, pistols, dirks, handy billies, and other deadly weapaae were shown, ‘accompanied with the most Millainous threats; but fortunately no lives were lost. e case was most ably argued by Hon. Thos. I. Sell, Ex M. C., assisted by G, Forster, Eeq. for plaintiff, and by Hon. John Galbraith, also Ix M. C., and John IL Walker, Esq., for defendant. After a most able charge from Judge Eldrod, in which the supre- macy of the laws was duly sustained (particularly in regard to strange Dandies) the case was 9 itted to the jury, whom, after four hours deliberation, returned a verdict of $58 08 damages, and costs of suit.
