The best way, all, is te bring the steamships to New York. letter appeared in our paper of the 30th ult., referring to Mr. Southall, the gentleman commissioned by the Government to collect the amount of the claims of the United States citizens against the Mexican Government. Mr. Southall has called on us, and cexcn—Conntor oF Cartain Saannon.—The state- | denies, in the most emphatic manner, the truth of ments which we have received respecting the Co- lumbia after she struck on the reet at Seal Island, are 60 conflicting and contradictory, that it is quite impossible to reconcile them, and we are altogether ata loss to know the ultimate fate of the vessel. The report of Captain Duggan of the brig “‘ Acadian,” aregular trader between Halifax and Boston, and who is of course perfectly familiar with the whole coast, would lead us to believe that the intelligence of the Columbia having been got off with comparatively little damage, is correct. The report of Capt. Dugganis given as follows: He says that on Wednesday, the bth inst., the wind ie | light and variable, with a smooth sea, he stood along the west coast of Seal Island, and about midnight tacked to the eastward. On the 6th, wind still light and sea smooth, he stood to the north- ward along the east coast of the island, about a mile distant, and sometimes less. The ‘weather the statements made hy our corpespondent. We, of course, in that spirit of justice which we wish to discover in all instances, give Mr. Southall’s dis- claimer of the charges preferred against him, the same pablicity which the charges themselves re- ceived. Mr. Seuthall adds, that he will be very happy to meet our correspondent when he returns to Washington, and promises then to setile the whole matter to his satistaction. Movements oF THE Democracy.—A correspon- dence has taken place between the old fox, now Tusticatiog at Lindenwold,and the democracy of In- diana. It isas interesting to the community in ge- neral,and as honest, and patriotic as such things uni- formly are. It relates to the time when the next Democratic Presidential Convention chall be held. The friends of Mr. Van Buren, although anxious to most of the time was clear and every thing along the coast distinctly visible. At Black Ledge Reet, where the Columbia ran ashore, not a boat nor the vestige of a wreck was.to be ecen, nor any thing else having the appearance of a recent shipwreck. Capt. D. states that on Wednesday, while he was west of the island, if she had been inthe vicinity he would not have been able’ to see her. Having a perfect knowledge of the plaee where she ran ashore, and judging from the circumstances as tela- be in letters received here, he is convinced that ‘ 7 must have got off and proceeded t.0 Halifax. — tis to recollected, however, that Cuptain Dug- gan knew nothing of the disaster which had betal- len the Columbia. His attention wasn ot therefore excited, and we cannot place tnat implicit confi- dence in the results of his “look out” y "hich we would otherwise have been justified in repe ‘80g on it. ‘The report by way of Halifax,on the sam © day> Wednesday, the 6th instant, is altogether diffe rent. It informs us the steamship hud been broken 1. id- ships, and was on the very point of complete destr. Uc- tion. The following is this version of the story:— [From the Halifax Post, Sth inst.) Rerurn oF THE Marcarst.—The steamer Mar- garet, which went down to the Columbia, returned yesterday afternoon about 8 o’clock. She bro.aght all the passengers and the mails which were on board the ill-fated steamer; and we are sorry to learn that the Columbia has become a total loss.—~ On Wednesday she broke her back, and when the Margaret left she was swinging by the bows, and certain from the least violent commotion of the wind and waves to become utterly destroyed. All the moveableson board have been saved.— The crew of the Columbia have been left at work, and hopes are entertained that they will be able to remove agreat part of the engines before she goes to pieces. They have two or three vessels in re- nisition, but nothing was seen of the little Saxe Cote ettals went down, she scarcely had time to arrive there when the Margaret left. Abrig went on shore on Monday last on Mud Tsland, close by; she belongs to Sunderland, and wane St. John, N. F., or St. John, N. B. Crew saved. We understand the Margaret is now being pro- perly equipped, and will be despatched to-morrow or nextday, to England. At a meeting of the passengers held on Seal Island on the 6th, it seems that Capt. Shannon was who!- ly exonerated from blame, and that the Hon. Abbott jawrence was suitably remembered tor his gener- ous and considerate conduct venga le Other ac- tion was had in relation to those who had extended 1o them sympathy and assistance, and for the publi- cation of all the proceedings in the Boston, Halifax, London and Liverpool papers. The following let- ter is signed by Hon. Abbott Lawrence, who was the Chairman of the meeting, and by the remainder of the passengers, including the ladies. A committee of the ae also on the same day addressed a letter to the Hon. Saml. Cunard, Thomas Maynard, and J. P. Miller,Esqs., Commis- sioners of Light Houses, informing them of the great attention received from the keeper of the Light House, and requesting that his conduct might be favorably considered. This report comes from the passengers themselves, @nd has therefore considerable claims on our atten- tention. Still we can hardly help thinking that if the vessel had gone to pieces as the above report would lead us to suppose, Captain Duggan must have seen vestiges of the wreck in some shape. We must, however, wait patiently for further intel- ligence before we can be assured of the facts. As was reasonably te be expected, the conduct of Capt. Shannon became subject of discussion among the passengers. We have ourselves studiously re- frained, thus far, from making any remarks on this subject, as it was obviously one which we could not have been justified in taking up, in the absence of fuller and more authentic data than those as yet in our poesession. The following letter appears in some of the Boston papers :— Ska Isvanp, Bay or Funpy, 6th July 1848. To Carrain Nem SHANNON :— Dear Sir-—The undersigned, passengers on board your ship, cannot take leave of you without giving aa Oe eae of their feelings alter the unfortunate wreck of that noble vessel. We have learned the condition on which the Co- lumbia was navigated between Boston and Halitax, and consequently acquit you of all responsibility and blame for the fogs that has taken place, and de- sire that your friends may understand we unanimous- ly absolve you from any blame, in a disaster which has threatened our lives, and caused disappointment and trouble in our future plans. : We deem it an act ot common justice to yourself as commander of the Columbia, as well as a grate- ful duty imposed upon us, to present to you ourac- knowledgments, and thanks for the perfect cool- ness and intrepidity with which you have ae oe ed your duty, in landing the passengers witb all their baggage, without accident or loss. The vigor and skill you have manifested as a seaman, command our respect and admiration. We have watched with the greatest interest your unceasing exertions for the last ninety-eix hours in unsuccessful efforts to save the ship—and we beg co say that itis with the deepest sensibility that we offer to = our sympathy for the distressing pesition u which you are placed. We repeat that your conduct during the whole pe- riod of this trying vecasion, has strengthened our confidence im your skill and ability, and that your passengers, one and all, would be hay in the op- portunity of proceeding with you to England on the F = aed any eases occasion ‘o - © have only to congratulate you on the provi- Swenitial eseape ot the whole of your passengers and snip’s Company, and wish you that prosperity and happiness to which you are so eminently entitled. We remain, very ctfully, ‘ours truly, Assorr Lawrence, And the remainder of the passengers, This report of the letter purports that it met the ar_ probation and received the signatures of ail the pas. sengers. This is not, however, the fact. The fol- lowing are thenames of the passengers whe signed this letter :— A Lawrence, Enos Collins, of Halifax, F M Ward, of New York, John Tonauce, of Montreal, Wm Hammond, have the Convention sheid in November, are now willing to pospone it until May, because they believe : 2 that period to be most agreeable to the democracy | gnd tes in general. Tue Stexers remain in their usual uoutterably filthy condition. We think that the ‘street contrac- tors and the corporation have entered into an ami- cablejalliance with the hogs, for the latter have been revelling in the gutters of Broadway with vastly more than their accustomed independence. Indeed, 80 aumerousare the herds of swine, and so exceed- ingly impudent have they beeome—as what rational beasts would not!—in consequence of the increased patronage of the authorities, andthe persevering care of the street-contractors in supplyimg them with opportunities to induige their propensity for wallow- ing, that many of the cruel and hard-hearted house- keepers of the city are putting poison into the offal which, in accordance with the time honored prac- tice of Gotham, they cast upon the public streets.— A terrible mortality amongst the hegsis, therefore, to be anticipated, and we have only to add the ex- Pression of our hope that the street contractors will did not these fifteen or sixteen passengers sign the | lic moneys, for the purpose of examin duty with skill and fidelity. ‘The difficulties and | *¢nding their c ANOTHER A very respectable tempest in a teapot has been origi nated by the presentation of a memorial from seve~ == | We now add the names of the passengers who | ral of the School Commissioners of the Fourth Ward, to the Board of Education of thiseity. The E V Child, F Lee Childe, Mrs Childe ond servant, Bos | following is the document referred ta :— Tothe Honorable the Board of Education of the City of New York: GextL emer ~ The undersigned, trustees of common schools in the 4th ward, would respectiuily represent, that since their induction into office they have entered upon the perform: ance of their dutses, «nd in accordance with the act of the Legislature, passed April Lith, 1842, they have visited the schools in said ward which reeeive a jon of the pub- the books used in said schools, in order to ascertain whether said books contain any thing of a sectarian character contrary to the religious opinions entertained by any one desirous of ildren to said schools ; or contrary to the said act of the Legislature prohibiting the teaching, in- culcating er practising any religious doctrine or tenet in any ‘school participatiog in the public moneys. revious to theexamination by the undersigned, com after | plaints had been made by the several sects known as Jews, Catholics and Universalists, and pestiall at their request we did, on the 27th ult., visit public school No. 1,and primary schools Nes. 27 and 28, aud obtained and examived some of the books used in ssid schools. We have carefully, and we think impartially, examined as many of said books as time would admit, and beg leave to lay before your honorable body the following, as the results of our investigation :— ‘The first book to which we wish to call your attention isentitled “American Popular Lessons.” The portion objected to by the Jews may be found on page 133, lesson. “Reward of Goodness;” page 143, lesson, “The Son of age 14, lesson, “Heaven;” pages 145 und 146, Scripture Lessons and Jesus Christ;” pages 148, 151, lessom, “Thou abalt love thy neignbour as 3” pages 151, 162, 193, d 155, lessons, “The «Phe Ten Virgins.” There are also some other passages. They (the Jews) also otject to the last conversation in the book entitled “Conversations on Common Things;” “The Lessons for Schools taken from the Holy Scrip. tures;” the use of the “New Testament Scriptures,” and many of the lessons in Murray’s Reader.” i We found the Protestant version of the Bible used in said schools, ot which the Catholics complain, and by them deemed injurious to their peculiar faith, and calcu- lated to advance the views of opposing sects. They also ol ject to the use of the ‘Lessons ti from the Holy Scriptures.” The portion of the different books used in said schools, objected to by the denomieation of Universalists, and by them deemed calculated to teach sectarian ‘6 differ. ent from their own, may be found in the aforesaid rican Popular Lessons,” page 183, last verse of the lesson “God always sees me;” page 136, lesson “On Duties,” Sth vel poge M1, lesson “Punishment of Sin,” last two verses; page 146, lesson “Scripture Lesso! 3 page 164, lesson “Ten Virgins,” last section. 8 tions from the Holy Scriptures are objected to en account of the heading of many of the lessons, particularly those es 136 and 164, the “Panishment of the Wicked,” it Judgment.” They also called our atten tion to the section headed “Altamont,” p: 139, 140 and dat, Maxey English Reader, as weil as some other books which we have not here enumerated. if the religious opinions entertained by the Jews are to be regarded with the same favor as those of the verious denominations of Christians, (and we can see no goed reason why they should not) then we consider itthe duty of your honorable bods to either exclude all books trom use in the schools participating in the publi withhold the een from such schools as p books contrary to their peculiar belief. The reasons are obvious, for they pay their portion of the taxes necessa- ry to support our common schools, and do not ask or re- ceive any favor on ,account of tnair religious opinions, but are obliged by law to pay their portion of the public moneys, or sist in using es, they have many children they wish to have educated, but So long as there are books used inthe pub- lic schools containing sentiments diametrically opposed to their religious belief, their children must be excluded from said schools, and they not only lose the benefits re- sulting therefrom, but are obliged to support schools in which it is impossible for them to parapet, The same may also be said of every other sect. having similar reas ‘of complaint. . The undersigned have not, for the want of time, had opportunity to examine several other books used in the public schools in this ward, but intend at our earliest decently dispose of the assassinated carcasses ot their attached friends and fellow-laborers. Courts Martiat.—The multiplicity of Courts Martial, and the trivial character of the offences charged against the individuals for whose trial they | chi have been convened, have awakened a guod deal of vublic attention to the whole subject. certainly seem that some additional legislative ac- convenience to prosecute the investigation, and carefully examine every cause of complaint that is now or may hereafter be laid before us, and if thought of sutficient im portance, forthwith to lay the same before your honor- able body. i Deeming the matter we have thus far investigated of vast importance to the welfare of the public schools, and of great interest to many desirous of sending their ren to said schools, we have thought best to submit the foregoing asthe results of our examinations to your honorable body for such action as you in your wisdom It does | may think the circumstances require. ‘ith the fullest assurance that the subject will receive that attention its importance seems to demand, and the tien iss demanded for the better regulation of these | whole matter amicably and eee. settled, and jus- courts, and the prevention of their organization in cases ob viously of a frivolous nature. In repeated imstanet‘s we can show conclusively that charges have be en preferred against senior officers by those under their command, merely with the view ofsub- jecting :them to annoyance and expense, and if pos sible pro curing their suspension or dismissal, in or- der to make room for aspiring juniors who are un willing «4 wait for the reward of ‘patient merit.” In this way the country has become saddled with heavy exprnses, aud a not altogether unreasonable prejudice a,zainst Courts Martial been excited in the public mine. We have had of late several signa examples of the competency of some of these tribu- nals to administer justice with righteousness. Let us have the whole subject of Courts Martial thor- oughly reviewed by Congress. Ligut. Cex. M. M. Payne, U. 8. A.—Our readers will remember that this officer was not long since tried by a Court Martial, assembled at Fort Colum- bus, upon charges preferred against him by General Wool, commanding the 5th Military Department.— The charges and specifications were many, and va- rious in their character; the whole of them having their foundation im the interpretation of the rules and reculations for the government of the Army, as insisted upon by Col. Payne, not only for himself, but ashe believed for the good of the service. The plea of the Colonel to the charges and specifica- tions was not guilty. Robert Emmet, Esq., appear- ed az hiscounsel. Some of the charges were de- clared by the Court “proven,” others “aot guilty.” others “guilty,” andthe Colonel was sentenced to be “reprimanded in orders.” But the Court unani- mously recommended a remission of the sentence, and im their finding made some critical remarks upon the “unnecessary exercise and display of au- thority.” We have been informed that General Scott, in reply to the Court, and upon a review of the proceedings, came down on the Court with some of his occasionally characteristic severity. Deata of Commanper Dauias.—Alexander J. Dallas, late Browne, a commander in the U.S. Navy, died at the Troy House en the 18th instant. He arrived in Troy in the month of May, aceom- panied by his daughter, on his way to Saratoga, for the benefit .of his health; but on account of the coolness of the weather at that time, preferredre. maining in that city. His healih gradually declined until the day of his death, Mr. Dallas was a native of Connecticut, anda nephew of the late Alexander James Dallas, Secre- tary of the Treasury under Mr. Madison. He en- tered the Navy about twenty-five years ago, and has seen much service. “* Pacoavi.”—The Medicel Society of this city— one of the most enlightened and intelligent bodies —as the grave-yards know—that ever defiled white paper with the record of its transactions—have al- most unanimously repealed their resolution passed in 1832, conferring the degree of honorary member- ship on Hahnerman, the celebrated founder of the Homeepathic system ef medicine. We trust that the seciety ing ina repentant mood, will go on, and anoul '* Jicences of ‘all the blockheads who | tice be done to all the parties concern Weare gentlemen, ‘ith great respect, Your obedient servants, (Signed) SIMEON ABRAHAMS, DENNIS MULLINS, ‘THOMAS WALLACE, WM.

Old Mother Goose, of the ‘* Gomimereial Adver- tiser,” and some other equally enlightened and liberal minded individuals, are trying to manufac- ture out of this a terrible conspiracy against Chris- tianity, and the permanence of the Protestant faith, Butafter all, whatis there so particularly horrifying in this memorial ? The trustees merely express their objection to the use of sectarian books in the public shools, and refer to particular portions of other works, which are liable in their judgment to the same objection. Now suppose that the Catholic version of the Scriptures, and extracts from Catho- lic theological works were introduced into these schools, would not old Mother Goose and all her goslings break out into a terrible hissing and vitupe- rative uproar? It is utterly impossible to conduct these schools in such a way as to render them gene- rally usetul, and to aanihilate all prejudice against them, unless every mark and every atom of secta. rianism be expurgated. <A similar education, and a similar edueation alone, should be given in these schools. The religious education of the children beiongs properly to their parents and their religious guardians. ~ Tue Late Mr. ALtston.—The death of this illus- trious man, has of course excited the feelings of the deepest regret amongst all the members of that profession, of which he was such a distinguished ornament. The National Academy of Design were on Wed- nesday evening | onvened in a special meeting for the purpose « vressing the feelings awakened by this melancholy event. There was a full attend- ance of the number. The President of the Acade- my, Samuel F. B. Morse, Esq., took the chair at 8 o'clock, and announced the melancholy event in the following terms : GxwrLeMen OF THE AcaDEMy:— ‘ It is my most paintul duty to announce to you the afllict- tng Intelligence of the death of Washington Allston, The Journals of the day apprize us in a manner that leaves us uo hope of mistake, that our great Aimericen painter, our beloved associate, is no more. The artist, the scholar, and the Christian gentleman, were combined in Allston in a degree never surpassed. The bare announcement to you, gentlemen, of his d I know full weil will cause you unfeigned grief. T! rs you shed are no formal or official tribute of respect. There are few among you who cannot bear personal testimony to his kind-hearted- ness, his liberality, his noble distinterestedness. To those who have ever had the happiness of seeing him, and con- versing with him, it is needless to speak of the winning sensitiveness of his manners, the purity, and even femi- nine delicacy of his sentiments, the elevated but chasten- ed enthusiasm for the highest excellencies of art, which seasoned all his discourse, all making an impression not to be effaced, but to exert a permanent and salutary influ- ence ever after, on those who listened to him. But while officially before you, gentlemen, I must not give utterance tothe feelinge which agitate me personslly us I announce the loss of my Jong known, long tried, most valued friend and master; yet bear with me when I say, that as none can know the strength of those ties of frendship which hound mo to him, so hone can know the anguish of heort that their rupture by death has created. I have lost a fa- ther anda brother in one. Yet you should know the source of your own prosperity as an academy. II have manifested anything of high aim in the conduct ot your in- are at present legally empowered to torture and de- stroy as many of the human race as the ill-natured fates throw into their clutches.

Tue InrLusnza.—Ot 200 convicts im the peniten- tiary at Columbus, Ohio, 160 were in the hospital on the Ist instant, sick of the influenza. This epidemic hae also made its appearance in Louisville.

Resolved, That we bold in the highest veneration the noble traits which distinguished the deceased, and which were manifested uniformly in his professional, social, and Christian character, and commend him as one of the lofti- est examples for the imitation of all artists. Resolved, That in expression of our deep sympathy with the relatives and more immediate friends of the de- ceased, we will wear the usual mark of mourning, crape on the left arm tor thirty days.

Island—A slim Collection of Coppers—A Pretty Girland an Ugly Duenna—Terrific Assault by the Brethren and Sisters on the Ham and iiggs, and Hot Coffee, The Millerities are again in tents upom Long Island, near Williamsburgh The encampment is ina beautiful grove of locust trees, half-a-mile from the village, with a large potato patch on one side, and.afield of oats on the other. Oa arriving at the ground, yesterday, brother Geo, Storrs was winding up a sermon on the visions of Daniel; and denouncing Mother Church as the “little horn” that warred upon all the other horns of the beast with ‘‘seven heads and ten horns” The power of this lite horn was destroyed, said brother Storra, in 1798, by Bonaparte, according to prophecy, Napoleon being an instrument in the hands of the Almighty to chastise the wicked into obedience. And then, according to the prophet, forty-five years shall pass, which bringsus down to Sorty-three. And then what? Why, the saints shall take the kingdom and possess it forever, even forever and ever. The great trump shall sound; the seven seals shall be broken; the seven vials shall be poured out; the angel shall swear that time shall be no longer; the Son of Man shall be revealed in the clouds (Glury) of Heaven—(cries of “Hamen! Hamen!”) the books shall be opened, (grvans,) and the judgment set. It is God’s truuh—we do not doubt it! Ob! get ready, people—get ready, (a stir- ring among the dry bones near the stall) ; sisters, are youready? (a whining among the sisters); prepare to meetthy God, oh, sinner (an impious sneer from the sinners). Yes, you may laugh, but the day of ven- geance will come, as sure as there’s a God in hea- ven, or a devil in hell !” (Groans among the elect). The brother closed at length, to the satisfaction of all concerned. A collection was taken up, but the amount of coppers gathered from the congregation of five hun- dred, would hardly buy a glass of root beer for the preachers. Brother Southard, of the “* Midnight Cry,” read a letter from brother Jacobs, at Boston, stating that brother Himes (also ona visit to Bos- ton) had received a letter a tew days back from bro- ther Miller, giving the gratifying inforfhation that the prophet was so far recovered that he expected to be in the field again in a couple of weeks, if time continued, of which he was extremely doubtful. ‘The prophet continues unshaken in the faith that the world must be renovated in 1843—that Christ will descend, and that all eyes shall see him, even the blind and the lame. Brother Southard also read from brother Jacob’s letter that the meetings of the brethren at Boston were well attended, and that there had been at least one conversion. Of the number of ascension shirts among the brethren, no report was made. After the letter, brother Hed- dick invoked the divine benediction ; and announ- ced to the congregation that there would be prayer meeting in a few minutes. The crowd of unbe- lievers around the tent kept the brethren under cow, and the spirit did’at work with its accustomed energy. A young brother, with a thin neck, ban- daged in a white cravat, with hair as light as Mr. Greeley’s, and a face as cadaverous as that of John Jones of the Madisonian, struggled so desperately in prayer, that he had toretreat to the bushes to dis. gorge hisdinner. Another prayer foliowed, and the brethren and sisters sung a hymn. Our Hempstead Yorkshireman then delivered an exhortation. A sprinkle of rain at this crisis drove into the tent a number of young ladies who had been strolling over the grounds. There was one in particular who was a heart-breaker in very truth—as plump and wholesome a little coquette as you would find with asearch-warrant directed to all the cottages on the island. But she was under the care of a leathern- visaged duenna, who seemed to regard us with es- pecial suspicion. The brethren had four excellent tents on the ground. One for the sale of Second Advent books and pamphlets— one for the sisters to sleep in, who were compelled to remain on the spot; one for the preachers, and one for boarders, where the mos; subs:antial refreshments, including whiskey, as we were informed, were provided for the strengthening of the inner man, ‘The sisters and brethren discussed the eggs and bacon, and sausages, and mutton chops, and hot cof- fee, with infinite relish. They gormandized like hungry cannibals. When we left the ground, a de- tached group were singing— * xy, Saviours coming in the sky, I fong to sing Hozanna ! He'll take me up to him on high, T long to en ime Chorus—Iv : ood enough, to mae Yes, glory, it is good enough, I long te sing Hozanna. The meeting commenced on Monday last, and if Brother Hines comes in from Boston, will be con- tinued over Sunday, the 16th. The delusion ie, however, dying away, the brethren themselves look sour and disappointed, and with the close of the present year “ Millerism” will be numbered with the “ things that were,” and be as-utterly defunct as old Noah, the “grease spot” of the ancient Tyler party, or as the ancient Tyler party itself. enough, lozann: Mapame Casteutan.—We see it announced in most of the Philadeiphia papers, that this lady had arrived in that city, and was preparing to give a con- cer. However anxious the Philadelphians may be to hear this celebrated singer, they must wait a little longer, she is yet in this city, and will prebably remain here some days. When she leaves the scene of her great triumph, she will go south, and the citizens of Philadelphia will have the next pleasure of ing their respects to her, first, atter the Gothamites.

General Wool, of the U. 8. A., will, we are told, review the company. As Charles Stetson is the Commissary, we need hardly add that no one will be put on short allowance. Commencement at DartmouTH.—It is stated in some of the papers, that at the coming commence- ment season at Dartmouth College, the Hon. Daniel Webster will address the Alumni, and the Hon. Levi Woodbury the Phi Beta Kappa. These cele. brations will take place on the 26th and 27th of this month. ‘Tue Funrrat or THE LATE WASHINGTON ALLSTON was attended at Cambridge on Monday afternoon. His remains were deposited in the tomb ef the Dana family. The funeral was strictly private, because it was deemed by the inembers of his family, that it was most in accordance with his own character and wishes. Dr. Hacan.—A citizen of Benton, Missouri, has volunteered $100 towards the erection of the monu ment to the memory of Dr. Hagan. New Stoor or Wan.—The keel of a new sloop of war, to be constructed after a model furnished by John Lenthall, Esq., the scientific Naval Construc- tor for the Philadelphia station, will be laid at the Navy Yard there in a fewdays.

It was supposed the duties would be taken off of all American produce as soon as the Court of Policy meet. Inthe mean time the Governor baving taken the law into his own hands, the levying of duties would be continued. Two foreign vessels were lying off the harbor, awaiting the action of the Court of Policy To Sureivg Mencuants.—We cail the attention of all engaged in the shipping business, to an adver- tisement in our columns to-day, for the better regu- lation of thie branch of eur commercial marine itger’s Fe- male Institute, yesterday. Yesterday was the fourth annual academic com- mencement of the Rutger’s Female Institute. The exercises were performed in the Rutger’s street Church. The hour appointed was three P. M.; but long before that time arrived the church was most densely and uncomfortably crowded, chiefly with ladies. And the flattering of 2,000 fans produced @ Very curious effect. It was an audience of great and surpassing beauty. About 60 slips in the body of the church were reserved for the young ladies of the Institute, of whom thero are in all over 400. The young ladies range from 5 to 17 yearsof age, and they all marched in together—and a more love- ly set of young misses are certainly not to be found in this city. The Rev. Dr. Ferris is the President of the Institute, and Mr. West the Principal teacher. Dr. Hardenbrook is the Secretary or Treasurer, and was very active and polite in his numerous duties yesterday. The girls were mostly dressed in white, and generally carried a bouquet of flowers in their hands. The exercises commenced with the following greeting, sung by the girls:— THE GREETING. Words by E.

The Report of the Committee on Penmanship was read by Dr.,Griscomb. The Report of the Committee on Music was read by Mr. Loder. There was also a Report from a Committee on Paintings and Draw- ings. An anthem was Bung, which was composed by E. Ives, jr. Miss Murphy, daughter of ex-Mayor Murphy, of Brooklyn, performed a conspicuous part in this anthem. The reading of Prize Compositions: The one on Animal Heat, by Miss Julia Larocque was an origi- nal piece,eontaining much wit and humor,and crea- ted much amusement. She is a very pretty girl, with piercing black eyes, and black hair. There was also a Report on Examination, and then eame the The Distribution of Honors. This occupied much time, for there were a large number to parti, cipate in them. The following are some of the more important:— A Gold Medal was awarded to a Poem entiled “The Fall and Restoration of Man,” by Miss Julia West, of the First Department, anda premiam (the second horor) to the composition entitled ‘Animal Heat,” by Miss Julia Larocque. Several others were highly spoken of. “Flow- ers” by Miss E.izabeth Williams. “Land oi Dreams” by Miss Mary J.Murphy. “fhe advanteges and disadvan- tages of Novel Reading,” by Miss Ellen 8.

At this point, the graduating class, consisting of fifteen young ladies, who have completed their course of studies, received their diplomas, and a parting benediction from Dr. Ferris. This class then sung the following:— “SISTERS, NOW OUR SONG.” By « Grapvate. (By graduating class)—Music by E. Ives, Jr. Sisters, now our song we waken, ‘Though the saddest and the last, Foriit tells of union shaken, And a sunny sky o’ercast, Butthebow of promise gleaming, ‘Will be painted on the shower, Rays of gladness will be streaming ‘When the gathering shadows lower. ‘We have passed sweet heurs together, And their memory, though we part, We will keep undimned forever, And enshrine it in our hea Land or ocean may divide us, Yet our love will be the same, Nought that can or will betide ker shall quench the sacred flame. Life’s swift waters on are rushing, Bearing us upon its tide, Now in gentle murmurs gurhing, Now in angry waves they ride. Yet bright visions will we cherish, ‘Though our path be laid in gloom, lfon earth they fade and perish, Hope shall live beyond the tomb. CHORUS AND DUETT. Finale to the Valedictory Ode, by E. Ives, Jn. Fare ye-well! fare ye-well! ah! the sob and the tear, ‘They bitterly tell of the grief that is here. Fare-ye-well ! fare-ye-weil! theugh we ne’er meet again, ‘With a smile in this cold world ot sorrow and pain, ‘There’s a clime where the rainbow and star never fade, Where the dark and the bitter ne’er blend with the sweet And there in the garlands of glory fae Sisters dear ! sisters dear ! will we joyfully meet. ‘Till then, till then, Farewell! Till then, till then, Farewell ! This duett was sung by Miss Murphy and Miss Elsie W. Hoxie. Lastly was the benediction. In the evening Dr. Ferris gave a soirée to a large number of invited guests, composed of pupils of the Institute, trustees, and friends. The whole passed off most pleasantly. ing essay: = Nisto’s.—Tue new Orgra.—Last night the gar- den was crowded to witness the successful opera of the Crown Diamonds ; it was applauded through- out ; M’selle Calvé can sing Auber’s music better than she warbles any other compose: Her mu- sic in the second act was sung most artistically, and her efforts were well appreciated by the amateur audience. How could the opera be other than suc- cessful ? composed by the author of “ Massani¢llo” —the prima donna M’selle Calvé, and the best or- chestra ever heard in New York, led by such a finished musician as Mons. Prevost. It is to be deplored that this triumphantly successful perform- ance can be played but twice more—to-night for the benefit of Monsieur Dessonville, and again on the T7th inst. The overture is equal to any ever played at the garden. GRAN: AT A MUSEUM.—This day closes the engagement of General Tom Thumb, and while he is taking his final benefit, he will, in all probability, extend the parting hand to many thousands of his friends. He goesto Albany on Monday, ‘and thence to Saratoga Springs, the Canadas, and 0 on to England, and theretore he will not be seen in this city shy for many months to come, if ever. No one, then, should fail of seeing him now, for such a curiosity, no reasonable being should fail of seeing. There are to!e two splendid performances, at tour and hallf-past eight o'clock, P. M. when several volunteers will contribute to the edification of visitors in addition to Mr. Harrington and others of the regulag company there.
