Tur Evection.—We had almost forgot to state that the rier election takes 'place to-day and yote any way you please. Progress or Caruoticrry.—We directed the at- tention of our readers, some time since, to the ex- traordinary progress of the Roman Catholic faith throughout this continent, aswell as in Europe, and pointed out some of the causes which were contri- butingto the rapid and remarkable advance of that ancient church. A number of circumstances con- nected with the Church of St. Louis, in Buffalo, have recently transpired, and become the subject of a rather exciting controversy; and as they cast ad- ditional light on the poliey and tactics of the Catho- lie elergy, thev posse ufficient importance to oc- enpya place in oureolumns, and a share ef public n. li seems thet Bishop Hughes—who is probably at the most expert tactician and most popular and ntial prelate that ever governed a diocese—de- Go on manded some time since, in pursuance, it would ap- pear, of a systematic plan, the delivery up by the trustees, of the ‘@bhurch of St. Louis, with all the property, pew rents, and collections, into his hands. ‘The Bishop insisted that all church property,instead of being vested in trustees, in accordance with the spirit of our civil instittions and laws, and the usage heretofore, should be held by the church—that is,the clergy. The trustees of St. Lous Church refused to comply with this demand, on which the Bishop thdrew their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Pax, and laid the congregation under his ban, unti] they should ery peccavi and return to obedience. A statement to this effect was published in some of the papers, which calle orth the following letter from Bishop Hughes, in ich, asit will be perceived, he gives a sufficiently decided denial of the truth of the state- ments we have briefly recapitulated :— ¥. Commercial Advertiser.) Mrasns. — You published from the “ Buffalo Gszette,” an article purperting to be a statement of the difference between the congregation of St. Louis's Church in that city and if Itstated that I claimetto have “the property of ‘h vested in my hands, and that the claim was by the congreg: -” This is entirely untrue.

It is stated that ‘he congregation of St. Patrick’s, in Buflalo, have complied with my requisition.” This again isnatrae, The tra sand congregation of St. Patrick will bear me witness that I never made any such requisi- tion. T advised them, a3 a means of putting an end to quarrels among themselves, to dispense with trustees, and to avoid the rock on which St. Louis is now splitting. "These are the principaf statements ; and the honorable con.idence of the editor of the Buffalo Gazette has been radly abused by those who have employed his authority for statements which they knew to be unfounded in truth. He should demand proof of them, and if they can- not furnis': it, to which T challenge them, he should pub- lish their name: 1 vindicate his own. He has been seceived. Lattach no blameto him. Ifhisdeceivers can ish no preof that T ever made such a demand, T can nish proof, in their own writing, that ] never did. s surmised, says the statement, that the Bishop has so far as to forbid any priest in the neighboring pa- hes from neriorming divine ice in St. Louis urch, wntil its congregation shall fully comply with demands.” Neither member of this “surmise” is true. 1 forbade only one clergyman, whose inexperience might h heen taken advantage of by the same artifice which led so foully with the good faith of the e Gazette. An secondly, what are called my in the statement, never had ‘xistence in reali ‘Buffalo Gazette” will feel a irtuous indignation when he discovers how as heen imposed on y race between the congregation of St. Louis and myself is, that its trustees have thought proper to be governe: the ecclesiastical discipline of the , and expect me to supply them with priests who shall be governed by a different discipline, of which they shall be the authors. The congregatién of that church are pious and exemplary Catholics, to whom their holy faith is dearer than life. Even this may be said of a large ofthe trustees. it sometimes happens that our trustees may be hon- est aod upright in their intentions, and yet, men of simple erstanding In such cases, only let an . intriguing and irreli- gious mind get among them, and then, whatever he con- coctsin his infidet mind, he induces them under specious pretences, to adopt; and then he gives out the depraved purposes of hisown heart as the act of the board, and this again asthe act ofthe congregation! From the moment this arrives, wo tothe flock, and wo to the pastor, who are at once di from each other,and yet kept together by ench a link of iniquity.

I have no German pastor to send in his place.

Beside: deem it my duty now to forbid all clergymen of this diocese to offi. ciate in that church, until it shall be determined whether it is to be governed by the ecclesiastical regulations of the diocese, or by the “resolves” of its trustees. +JOHN HUGHES, Bp of N.Y. New York, April 4, 1943. Here gfe ceries of plain, flat, palpable denials of the statements that the Bishop insisted that the church property should be taken out of the hands of the trustees and vested solely in the church—that the Rev. Mr. Pax had been withdrawn from St. Louis, and that the Catholic ministry were inter- dicted from officiating in that church. In contradis- tinction to all this, we have the following curious matter-of-fact letter, which appears in one of the Buffalo papers :— ST. LOUIS’ CHURCH. ‘To THe Eorroxs or tHe Burravo Dary Gazette:— Gexriemex—I have read with much surprise the flat denial given by the Rev. Wm.

I have now therefore to instruct you to read this letter to the congregation three times, without any comment.— The object of t ading is thatthe whole people shall at nothing is required in that church, except required in all other churches in the diocese, and that ifthey allow themselves to be led away, on them. selves must be the responsibility.

Y.” Regretting extremely, the necessity of thus troubling you, ‘I remain, gentlemen, Yours, etc,, respectfully, ‘WM. B. Le COUTEULX. This is a mest singular exposé. The Bishop has most assuredly got within the horns of a most un- comfortable dilemma. It is quite clear that his let- terin the Commercial conflicts more awkwardly and decidedly with those quoted by Mr Le Couteulx, than can be desirable by any gentleman who wishes to maintain a character for veracity. There is a contradiction which is quite inexplicable. Every one can see it, and it is therefore needless to point itout with more formality. The silliest piece of the whole business is the manner inwhich the Bishop attempts to fasten the charge of infidelity on the trustees who resisted his demand, and ventured to maintain their right to the possession of the property which they had them- selves contributed! Not the slightest proof appears in support of this charge. This 1s quite too much like the Inquisition for America and the nineteenth century. It is not, however, we must say, at all like Bishop Hughes, and we dare say he 1s already sorry for it. Now we think the best thing we can do in the premises is to give the Bishop a bit of advice. Let him, without any equivocation or timidity, come back to the original ground assumed in the “ Pas- toral Letter.” Its, to say the least of it, and with becoming reverente’we express the opinion,—very silly to assume this ground and then shift about in the manner which the Bishop has exhibited. If the Catholic clergy can, agreeably to the spirit and letter of the laws and Constitution of this country, wrest the church property from the hands of trus- tees and take possession of it themselves, why then let them set about the business at once, without any paltry equivocation. We ourselves doubt whether they can do so consisteatly with our laws, but they should test the matter at once. By doing so, the le- 80 * ion of the Catholic ministry gality of the exercise of the ecclesiastical discipline of the Catholic Church, to the extent now claimed tor it, will be fully examined. This ia a most impor- tant question, and the sooner it is decided the bet- ter. The recent difficulty at New Orleans, between one of the Catholic Churches there and the spiritual authority, originated in a similar way to this disa- greement in Buffalo. Bishop Hughes, and that of the Bishop of the dio- cese ef New Orleans originate from a common source, probably at Rome. no objection in the world that the Catholic clergy should carry out this grand project, but they are No doubt the movement of For our part we have bound to show their authority and right. Let them do this immediately. They will thus prevent many unpleasant broils, and, it we may judge from the pre- sent instance, save themselves the disagreeable trou- ble of forgetting that regard to truth and candor, for which it is all important for the ministers of religion to be uniformly characterised. InrerNnaTionaL Copy-Ricut.—By a very impor- tant enactment, recently made by the British Par- liament, in consequence of the exertions of Bulwer, Dickens, James, and other proprietors of British co- py-rights, all the literary journals, such as the “ New World,” “ Brother Jonathan,” and their Extras, are excluded from circulation in any part of the domin- ions of England. The following is the act:— band 6 Vict. cap. 45. An Act ro Amexo tHe Law oF Corruront. Sxc.17. And be it enacted, That after the passing of this Act, it shall not be lawful for any person not bein; the proprietor of the copy right, or some person author iz by him, to impert into any part of the United Kingdom, or into any other part of the British dominions for sale or hire, any printed book, first composed, or written, or rinted and published part of the said United ingdom, wherein there copyright, and reprit y country or place whateoever out of the Brit dominions ; and ifany person, not being such proprietor or person authorized as aforesaid, shall import or bring, or cause to be imported or brought, for sale or hire, any such printed book into any part of the British dominio: contrary to the true inte d meaning” of this Act, or shall knowingly sell, publish, or hire, or have in his possession for sale or hire, an book, then every such book shall be forfeit be seized by any officer of Customs or Ex: same shall be destroyed by such officer; and every per- son so oflend:ng. being du! 4 convicted thereof before two Justices of the Peace for the county or place in which such book shall be found, shall also for every such of- fence forfeit the sum of ten pounds, and double the value of every copy ofsuch book which he shall so import or cause to be imported into any part of the British domi ions, or shall knowingly sell, publish, or expose to sal or Jet to hire, or shall cause to be sold, published or ex sed to sale or Jet to hire, or shall have in his po session for sale or hire, contrary to the true intent and meaning of this Act, five pounds to the use of such Officer of Cus: toms or Excise, and the remainder of the penalty to the use of the proprietor of the copyright in such book. This act does not of course include newspapers, such as the New York Herald, But it will have a terrible effect on the circulation of the literary mammoths, and will probably cut off 100,000 copies of these publications every week. The Canadas were a very profitable field for the ‘‘ New World” and its cotemporaries, and many copies were also forwarded to Great Britain and the West Indies.—~ The loss will now be immense. _ Ex-Governors.—No less than three are now in the city : namely, Davis, of Massachusetts; Marcy, of New York ; and Dickerson, of New Jersey.

It willbe published by the Messrs. Harper. It is said to be a very superior article in the line. Indeed, from the sublime im- agery—the harmonious numbers—the pure senti- ment—the classic taste which were so eminently characteristic of the young Captain’s former highly successful poetic effort, we should not be surprised if the forthcoming production should be equal to Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” or the “Trionfo D’- Amore,” of Petrarch. However, we must patient- ly wait and see. Captain Robert is a young gentle- man of great talent, not only asa poet, but also as a politician. We shall always be happy to do him justice. N. P. Willis, despising the venerable aphorism, is increasing the’number of irons he has in the fire. Besides editing the “Brother Jonathan,” which he does in a sort of Jacob’s coat, cut after the pattern of one of Bulwer’s night gowns, he writes letters to the National Intelligencer, descriptive of the sights and smells of New York, from “Edgar House” to the “Five Points,” which are rather interesting, (the ‘letters we mean) He has, also, now united himeelt as associate editor of the New Mirror, with his old coadjutor, General Morris. Willis has really a good deal of talent and tact. He possesses very respectable and practised powers of observation, and a greatdeal of the raw material in his mind, which might be eliminated and manufactured with a great deal of profit to himself, anda little advan- tage tothe world. We therefore think rather well ofhim, and if he desires to put another iron in the fire, we will put him in the way of doing it—that is, after one of those now on the coals shall have got cold. Fenimore Cooper is very busy administering Ho mopethic doses of the law of libel to Horace Greely, in order to clear out that gentleman’s con stitution, and so prepare him for the establishment of Fourierism, on agrand scale, in New Jersey. Bryant has been travelling in the South, and giv- ing the last touches to many fine poems which have been laying in his desk. “Puffer Hopkins” is republishing his works in a cheap form, for the purpose of tounding our national literature. Scene in THe Pennsyivanta Leaistature.—The following is the description of a scene which took place in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, on Satur- day, the 8th inst. It is exquisite. [From the Phil: a ia Chronicle.} Discracerut Scexe.—At this moment a scuffle was witnessed on the floor of the House, near the eastern fire lace, between Mr. McGowan, a member of the House Krom ihe county of Philadelphia, and Mr. J. B. Bratton, editor of the State Capitol Gazette,” which threatened to beof aseriouscharacter, throwing the whole House into confusion and uproar. Mr. McGowan went to Mr. Bratton with the“ Gazette” in his hand, and demanded of him whether he was the author of the following article in that paper of yesterday, vi You shall both have office in the Custom House if you vote for the Tyler Candidate for State Printer,” as 1, Porter Brawley said to McGowan and Bacon. “ Agreed,” was the response—and they did vete for him sure enough. In our next we shali hold up to the public gaze every man who has been bribed.” Mr. Bratton replied that he was the author of tne arti- cle. Mr. McGowan then either spit, or struck in his face, and Mr. B. resented. Mr. McG. then took up a chair ani struck B. over the head and bruised his head and face considerably. B. or some one else then wrested the chair out of Mc.’s hand, and in a moment the cry in the hall was, “he (McG ) has got a knife!” Mr. B. then ro- treated behind the Speaker's chair, and was pursucd by McG. with a dirk in his (Mc.’s) hand, to the other side of the House, In the meantime, the Speaker had called on the Sergeant-at-Arms to keep order in the hall, and oneof the assistants succeeded in arresting him in his pursuit, but not until he had made an overhanded thrust with his airk at Mr. B., which struck him somewhere on the shoulder blade, with such violence asto bend the point of the weapon, in various directions, an inch and a half from the end. The dirk is four or six inches long, with a heavy; die, light, sharp-pomted blade, and a scabbard. Mr. B. saw him draw it {rom his bosom and thought it was a pistol. Mr. McG. was then detained, whilst Mr. Bratton went out of the House, whence he proceeded to his residence. Fertunately for ‘both parties, I believe he is not denger- ously wounded, though he is considerably bruised on the head and face with the chair, and of course is cut and somewhat lacerated on theshoulder. Mr. McG. ae terribly excited, and beld up the dirk in his hand for some time after the occurrence took place. It was then taken from him, and is now in the custody of a member of the House. As soon as order had been restored in the hall, the Im- eachment question was postponed, and Mr. Deford of ere’ aresolution, that a Select Committee be appointed to enquire into the facts and report the same to the House—which was — to—and the Speaker appointed Messrs. Deford, Elwell, Morris, Hahn and Skinner, said Committee. Much excitement was produced, not only in the House, but all overtown, by the occurrence. Nothing else was talked of, scarcely, and the members seemed to keve little relish for the transaction of sober business, though some was subsequently disposed of, which I shall speak of di- rectly. Shortly after Mr. Batton had gone down town, one of the constables Re red at the door of the House, with a warrant for ) Gowan, and being about to enter, the rms shut the door, and would not permit him hin the bar. But on being apprised of the fact, Mr. McGowan went out voluntarily, and accompa- nied the officer to the effice of the justice, where he was bound over to answer the charge of agsauit and battery, at the next sessi to be held eon the 17th inst. If the had been received a single inch lower down, in all probability Mr. B. would heve forfeited his life for the publication. Swaksreare’s Comriers Works.—-The Harpers are publishing, (as we believe we announced last week) their pertect edition of Shakspeare, in eight weekly numbers, at twenty-five cents each. The whole work will occupy about 1150 pages, and will contain nineteen illustrative engravings—the price complete will be but two dollars. No. Il. is pub- lished, and for sale at this office. Ma. Dugr’s Lecrune was postponed last night till Wednesday evening next. No auditors arrived it seems. Come, Mr. Duer, you had better take our advice, and give us some lectures on finance. cquirtaL or Commanper McKenzix.—We give below the decision of the Court Martial in the case of Commander McKenzie. It is seen that he is acquitted on all the charges preferred against him by the Secretary of the Navy. It is reported that the decision has been approved by the Presi- dent, but of the truth of this report we have no in- telligence on which we can rely. The decision reached us by the way of Philadelphia. No men- tion of the fact is made in any of the latest Wash- ington papers, and the full verification of all we have heard is therefore yet to arrive. But here is the decision. Conmanper McKenzix, Hononapty Acquitrey.—l en- close to you a synopsis of the charges and the finding of the Court in the case of Commander McKenzic. Charge 1—Murder on the high seas on board of a United States vessel.—Specification lst alleged that Com- mander McKenzie, then commanding the United States brig Somers, did, on the Ist December, 1842, on the high seas, in latitude 17 degrees, 34 minutes, 25 seconds, and longitude 57 degrees, 57 minutes, 45 seconds,‘ without form of law, wilfully, deliberately, and with malice aforethought, hung and caused to be ‘hanged by the neck atthe yard arm of said brig, until he was dead, Philip Spencer, a midshipman then serving on board, thereby violating the twenty-first article of first section of the act of Congress entitled “An act for the better govern- mest Navy of the United States,” approved April 23, I Specification 2d—Alleges same thing in regard to Samuel Cromwell, boatswain’s mat 5 Specification 3d—In relation to Elisha Small, seam Charge 21—Oppression, under three specifications, same as the others, except that they allege he did without form of law and without good and sufficient cause op- pretsively Kil by hanging, &c. fc. Charge 3d.—Ilegal punishment—three specifications as above, except that they charge that he did, of his own authority, and contrary to the Act of Congress in such eases made and provided, kill, &c. &c. Charge 4th.—Conduct unbecoming an Officer.—Speci- fication—In that he used taunting and insulting language to Spencer at the moment of his execution. Charge Sthe-Cruclty and Oppression—Specification— In that he habitually inflicted cruel and unnecessary pun- ishment upon his crew. Finpinc or tHe Court in THE cask Or ComMMANDER Acexanper 8S. McKenzie. On the first charge and its specifications the Court finds, ‘That the 1st specification is not proved. ‘rhat the 2d specification is not proved. That the 3d specification is not proved. ‘That the first charge is not proved. On the second charge and its specifications: ‘That the Ist specification is not proved. ‘That the 2d » fication is not proved. That the $4 specification is not proved. That the second charge is not proved. On the third charge and its specifications: ‘That the Ist specification is not proved. That the 2d specification is not proved. ‘That the 2d specification is not proves. ‘That the third charge is not proved. ‘Thot the fourth charge being waived by the Judge Ad- vocate, and no testimony or evidence being offered to sus- tain it, the Court took no action upon it. ‘The specification of the Sth charge being deemed by the Judge Advocate too vague, was waived by him. No one having complained to the Department of specific ill- treatment, it could not be made more specific, as the De- vartment had no particular information. The Court there- fore tock no action. As far as evidence was offered under the 5th charge, the Court do find no proof of mistreatment of the crew of the Somers generally by Commander McKenzie, nor of individual maltre itmeut, and therefore find it not proved. The Court ¢o therefore HonoreDly acquit Commander Alexander 5. McKenzie of allthe charges and specifica. tions preferres egaiust him by the Secretary of the Navy. Turarricats anv Musicau.—Nagel and Demp- ster, according to the last accounts, were at Norfolk, giving concerts with accustomed success. The Seguins and Shrivall were at Savannah. Hackett is at Richmond, giving dramatic readings on Shakespeare. Miss Clarendon, the young lady who was brought out here under the auspices of Park Benjamin, is in New Orleans, giving readings and recitations. Mrs. Sutton is at present engaged teaching music in thiscity. She has large elasses, we learn, com: posed of many of our fairest and most fashionable fair ones. Mrs. S. will, it issaid, visit Philadelphia ina few weeks, for the purpose of getting up an opera at the Chesnut street Theatre. Mr. Henry C. Timm is preparing for his grand coneert next week. He will introduce his new piano forte, which is a most beautiful and ingenious instrument, and great curiosity has been excited in the musical world relative to. its construction and eflectiveness. Signor Clirehugh and the Misses Cumming are preparing to visit Boston, where they will, we doubt not, be well received. Signor De Begnis will probably soon get up another concert, and sing “largo al factotum,” in the charac- ter of Figa Mise’ Reyablds isin the city—if possible, more rosy, witty and fascinating than ever. She will pre- bably play a ehort engagement at the Park or the Chatham, which is now becoming, it would seem, the fashionable theatre. Mr. and Mrs. Brongham will shortly appear at the Chatham, and are sure of a cordial greeting. Mr. Russell’s popularity is increasing at an im mense ratio. His concerts in this city have been all densely crowded, and those in Brooklyn and New- ark have been equally successful. He giveshis last concert but one in this city, at Niblo’s, on Wednes- day evening next. He has also politely responded to the earnest request of many of our most respect- able citizens, and will gratuitously contribute his in- valuable aid ata great temperance celebration in the Tabernacle on Thursday evening next. Friaur or Borer.—It is stated, on the authority of Capt. Leland, who hasarrived at Holmes’ Hole, that Boyer had fled from Hayti with three millions of treasure, and had reached Kingston, Jamaica. We believe this, for what else could be expected of him? Itshows him, however, to have been equal to Jerome Bounaparte, who was once King of West: phalia. While playing leap frog in the court yard, he heard of the approach of the Russians. He im- mediately ran to the treasury, took what was in it, and fled. This display of foresight raised him in the estimation of the Westphalians, who did not believe him capable of any thing but playing leap frog. The act of Boyer will probably have the same effect among the black philosophers of Hayti. We have received from our correspondent in Bos- ton the following confirmatory intelligence of the flight of the black President:— [From the Boston Couriar, April 9.] Capt. Pope, of brig Nonpareil, at this port from Gonaives, 20th ult., siates that President Boyer had abdicated. He went on board a British frigate on the 13th, and sailed for Jamaica 15th. Commercial operations had deen entirely suspended in the south- ern and western parts of the island by the revolu- tionary movements. The Patriots took possession of Gonaives on the 17th, but were enabled to hold it only conditionally. From Sovrm Arrica.—-We have received the Cape Town Spectator of the 9h of last January, It appears that the English and the natives are stil) at variance. We make two extracts. A letter has just been received from Natal, dated 12th inst,, which states that G. Rudolf is in com- munication with Mocha, and that a plan has been arranged for attacking Major Smith with a foree of 900 men. It is supposed, however, that this force will, at first, attack the natives, for the purpose drawing the British treops from the shelter of their fortification. The Boers are said to be very short of gunpowder. News! from Fort Peddie, this morning, confirms our report of the state of feeling in Kafirland, and the fact of a general preparation making for war. Eno, Kama, and Kye have officially warned the officials at Fort Peddie. Eno has sent mersengers to Sandili to ask him whathe is about. It is said the cattle of many Boers are in Kafirland for safety. Coronen’s Inquests.—A good deal of misappre- hension seems to prevail respectiag the manner in which the iavestigation before a Coroner’s Jury should be conducted. The sole object of an in- quest is to ascertain the cause of the death of the person on whose body it is held. When the death has been the result of violence, poison, or any erim- inal act onthe part of another party, the Police magistrates are the proper and only legally author- ized persons to institute enquiries for the purpose of discovering the guilty. {tis most essential to the ends of justice that this distinction should be ob- served. But our whole system of administering criminal justice is lax, inefficient and defective. Fancicat.—A bill to prevent and punish seduction has passed the House of Representatives of Penn- sylvonia. It punishes the crime by fine and imprison- ment, the former not to exceed $500, and the latter not Jess than one nor more than three years. Why not offer a bounty at once, instead of passing such a foolish bill as this? Seduction is as bad as rape, and should meet with the same punishment, City Intelligence, BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. Kwwyarrinc rrom tax Aus Hovse.—About seven years since, a man named Samuel Rowe, of Rankin county, Msssissippi, obtained a mulatto boy, named William Stewart, alias Jennings, from the Alms House or Farms in this city, on the usual con- ditions, which were not jto remove him out of the county ; and within about four months since made application and succeeded in obtaining a boy named John Collins, and two small girls, named Lucy Curry and Mary Ann Florida. Instead of remain- ing in the county, he removed to his residence in Mississippi, and employed the children on his farm. The Mayor, being apprised of these facts, selected officer John ~Huthwaite to proceed there and arrest him. He left here on the 25th of February, and succeeded not only in obtaining the children, but also in arresting the person who had abducted them. When about 150 miles above New Orleans, during the night,while the steamboat was taking in wood, Rowe jumped from the steamboat into the cane brakes and made his escape. The children were brought here in safety and lodged in the Alms House. The boy has grown to nearly a full age, and would make an excellent servant for any body desiring one. Mepicat Wirnesses.—The investigation in the case of the young female, Devine, who died in the Third Avenue, presented the community with another specimen of the melancholy appearance which medical men too often make when called to the witness’ stand. The striking discrepancy of opinion—the confused character of the testimony— the entire want of clearness, were signally manifest. Medical gentlemen should devote more time and at- tention to medical jurisprudence, and thus save themselves from unpleasant exposure, and render efficient aid to the officers of justice, instead of in- volving the case in increased difficulty and doubt. Harp Times tn Micutaan.—A letter received in this city from Royal Oak, Oakland county, Michi- gan, states thus “It is the hardest times for cattle of allkinds here this winter, that I have witnessed ; there is no hay in the county to be had for money orany thing else. I heard a person say this morn- ing, (March 31) that his horses and cattle must starve, and that he took the straw out of his beds to feed his cattle. There isnow about two feet of snow on the ground, and cold as at any time in the month of January. I have also heard of some of the farmers feeding their cattle with superfine flour. Pror. Wines’ Hesrew Lecture Last Evenina.— This gentleman delivered his first lecture upon the civil government of the Hebrews, last evening, at the Society Library. ‘The lecture was very well at- tended. The subject of it wasa review of the go- vernment, character, and manners of the leading na- tions of antiquity, other than the Jewish, with the design of showing that civil liberty, as we under- Stand it, had no existence inany of them. He ex- amined the war laws, and contrasted the institution of slavery, as it existed in the Gentile nations, with what it was among the Jews. Sap News From THE INpEPENDENCE.—We have seena letter from on board the frigate Independence, dated St. Pierres, Martinique, March 10,which states that the yellow fever had broken out among the of- ficers and crew, and that Midshipman George Hun- ter was one of its victims. The ship was to leave in ten days for Cuba Str Cuaritzs Bacot.—The Warspite has been ordered out to convey Sir Charles Bagot to England. His health has not improved, and he continues in a precarious condition. Og Nothing of Jacob Shipman yet. Cuatnam Treatre.—Mr. Forrest was greeted with a most brilliant and enthusiastic audience last evening. He never performed better, and Miss Clifton fairly eclipsed herself in the beauty and ex- cellence of her actixg. They appear together this evening in the admired play of the “ Lady of Ly- ons,” presenting to the lovers of the legitimate drama an unusually rich and splendid treat. We are gladto witness the enthusiasm manifested to- werds this well-regulated establishment, since its re-organization. Mr. Thorneis determined to per- severe in his efforts towards the promotion of the character of the glorious drama in this city. None better qualified for the task. OG The sublime, moral and highly impressive specta- cle of the “Trial of Christ,” should be visited by all ch ses of society, whatever may be their religious tenets. Noone can wilnesy it without being impressed with the utmost awe. Itis not only worthy of admiration asa work of art, but is deserving of infinite praise for the sub- lime moral it inculcates. ‘This is positively the last week it cah be seen, and we would advise all persons to avail themselves ofthe present opportunity. Peale’s Museum has changed hands. It opens next week under the ma- nagement of Mr. H. Bennett, who conducted it with so mnch ability last fall. American Museum.—The crowds of visitera who flock to this establishment fully attest its popularity. When the numerous attractions are mentioned, it is not so much asource of surprise. First, we have the “Fat Boy,” who is a star of the greatest magnitude—we doubt if the Comet can “come it” stronger than he do Then there is the humorous, eccentric, and highly original Winchell, who would raise a laugh ander the ribs of death, and makes even the “Fat Boy” shake his sides. Miss Darling, the bewitching and accomplished Enchantress, exercises a powerful spell over the hearts of the male part ofthe au- dience.

Their celebrated inventor, Prof. V. in his lectures at the hos- pital of “La Charite in Paris,"speaks ofthem in the follow- ine terms : “Gentlemen, I have used these Pills for a con- siderable time without a single instance of failure, and after having tried every remedy known for these disenses, and after an experience of twenty-five years, I have no hesitation in pronouncing them to be the best remedy for gonorrhe or gleet, at present known to the medical pro- fession.” The New York College of Medicine and Pharmacy, having obtained the recipe for those Pills from their ce- lebrated inventor about six months since, have sold over two thousand boxes, and defy any case tobe produced where they have not effected a cure. Among the ey sd advantages they possess over the old treatment, the fol- lowing are worthy of notice, viz : Their effect is certain, they contain no mercury, or any medicine calculated to injure the constitution. They allow the patientto follow his ordinary Uusiness, without tainting the breath, disa- grecing with the stomach, or causing the least suspicion that the patient is under any medical treatment.
