and rendering the expres- pen, fe Sappatien SAMUEL A. FO! JOHN LORIMER _ WILLIAM CU: Dated New York, Jan, sth, 1241. HAM, RTIS NOYES. Orrmiox or Davin B. Ocpen, Esa. Ihave read and ver; penta considered the stated in the annexed paper, the opinions on it ‘Anterior to the passage of the law of May, 1933, it was unlaw ful for any person or persons to carry on the busi- : ness of bi within this State, unless they were in- corporated by the Legislature with express power to do 80. ‘Those acts of incorporation had been multiplied to a great extent, ant in the procuring the passage of them it was believed that means had semetimes been resorted to derogatory to the character of the members of the Legis- lature, disgraceiul to the State. One object of the Legislature in passing the act of 1538, was to take away all temptation to these disgraceful practices, by throw- ing open wide the door of banking, and permitting any eFson or association of persons to carry on the business o ing. Another object of the Legislature in pest the act of 1885 was to furnish a paper currency, whi yuld at all times be redeemed in specie, and a provision was there- fore made in the law, by which it was intended to take care that no bank bill or note should be put in circulation a8 money until its payment was fully secured by a depo- sit of public stocks or bonds and mortgages ; and before ‘the notes should be put in circulation or loaned as money they were to be made binding upon the association by whom they were issued as promissory notes, payable on demand Shortly ulter the passage of this act of 1838, and within a year after its passage, my opinion was asked of one of the banking associations in this city established under it, whether they had power to issue post 1 uble at some fixed period after date. After mai flection, I was of opiuion that they could not, and so advi- sed the gentlemen by whom my opinion was asked. A. post-note, although not payable on demand, is a bank note, and is put in circulation as money; and if one of these associations may issue and put in ¢irculation as money a post-note, payable in one year after date, they may do it payable one month, one week, or one day after date, and thus tne provisions ‘wisely intended by the Le- gislature tor the security of the public might be wholly evaded by the issne of notes payable at a short date, in- stead of being payable on demand 1 therefore thought that the issuing of post notes might and would be dered a mere contrivance, intended to enable th institutions to evade the provisions of the la more | reflected upon the subject the more I am convinced juestion HERALD. 4, 18944 ‘NEW YORK New York, Monday, - Mr. Graham’s Statement. We publish to-day the long statement of Mr. Graham, the Postmaster, in explanation of his connexion with the late Nerth American Trust Company. It is perfectly satisfactory—so far as we can see—all through, and Mr. Graham shows very conclusively that, including his partners. he had no more money than what they all justly earned. So far, therefore, he stands completely exonerated from having anything to do with the extraordinary losses sustained in that company. ‘We shall now look for the rest of the expositions from the other persons implicated, and we can have no doubt that each of them will make out as good acase andas a strong a one of their innocence as Mr. Graham has presented We don’tsee how there can be any difficulty at all on the subjectsand yet after each of the directors, presidents, mana- gers, and all have explained their case and satisfied the public that they are perfectly innocent, and have not a farthing of the money, it is still abso- Jutely certain that the stockholders have lost se- veral millions, and the question still recurs— “What the devil has become of the money?” No one has got it, it seems—no one ever had it—yet it isgone. ‘I haven’t got it,” says one—“Nor I,” exclaims another—“Nor I,” re-echoes a third, and so on; through to the fortieth or fiftieth of those concerned in it, Yet still the stockholders have lost their money. ‘We believe we shall have to make a respectful application to his Satanic Majesty, and ask of him to inspect his vaults below, in order to ascertain whether this lost property be not snugly stowed of the correctness of that opinion. 5 Many gentlemen of the profession, I know, thought dif ferently upon the subject, and it is not for me tosay they were not right in so thinking. At any rate, several of the banking institutions formed under’ the act of 1838, T have understood, did issue aot notes to a large amount, and, in consequence of suc issues, the actof 1840 con- tained the provision referred to in the annexed opinion, which was designed to prevent all such issues for the future. fourth section of this last mentioned act is in these “No banking association, or individual banker, as such, shall issue or put in circulation any bill, or note of association, or individual banker, unless the same shall be made payable on demand ‘and without inter- est ; and any violation of this section by any officer or member of a banking association, or by any individual banker, shall be deemed and adjudged @ misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, in the dis- cretion of the court, having cognizance thereof.” We are now prepared to examine the question stated to me for my opinion upon it. The note proposed to be is: sued is payable thirteen months afu B. der, with interest at the rate of seven per cent. bottom is a memorandum stating that its payment, with that of many other similar notes, tis secured by property eonveyed in trust, &e ‘That the banking association havea right to borrow money, and to secure its payment by a transfer of proper- ty belonging to it in trust’ for that purpose, | have no doubt , and I have no doubt that, for the money #0 borrow- ed, they havea right to gi issory note, or a sealed vill, ora bond payable at greed upon between them and the lenders, with interest ; nor have I any doubt that, if indebted to any perso give as security for that debt ry note, or a st 1 bill, or a bond payable at a future time, with interest uer have | any doubt thatthe association may borrow di ferent sums from different persons, and give their notes, sealed bills, or bonds, tor the repayment of them, and may secure them all by ‘one gi transfer of property to trustees for that purpose. ‘Phe issuing such notes or Dills or bonds, is not the issuing and putting in circulation in- tended by the act. City I Police ---March 3.—Bunoiany, Gacotxc anv Ronny ny.—-On Saturday evening, about ten o'clock, the house of "Thomas and William Gilbert, 17 Leonard street, was en- tered by two men, who immediately seized the former, who was in one of the parlors above, and demanded m ney. He denied having any in his’ possession, when the rarians threw him upon the floor and placed a pil- low over his face to prevent him from making an alarm, and immediately forced a rope into his mouth and attempt. edto gag him, and then tied his hands and legs. They then again demanded money, when he gave them two sovereigns and some small change that he had in his pocket. ‘This did not satisfy the rogues, when they threat. ened his life, and he told them that they would Boa $150 in a small table in the basement below. They descended and returned without making the discovery, and again used threats to intimidate him to reveal where his money was kept; but becoming alarmed, fled from the premises without obtaining any thing else except a few silver spoons that was in the cupboard in the basement. This is certainly a strange and high handed proceeding. The young Gilberts, who reside at the house thus dacingly entered, have recently lost their mot! Alice Gilbert, and the bulk of a large fortune has thus recently fallen to their share. ‘Thomas had been out in the early part ot the evening, and was accompanied home by two persons a short time before the house was entered. It is supposed se ruffians must have had some previous kuow- circumstances of the inmates, and therefore that a large sum of money might be obtained through their desperate exploit. But a tew days sce, the young Gilberts selected a guardian to manage their estaty, in whose hands they placed a large sum of mo- ney that had previously been kept in_ their possession, which the rogues thus opportunely miased. ‘The mouth of Mr. Gilbert was seriously injured by the ropes, as well as other — of his body. The $150 that had been left on the table below, was found all safe, as the rogues had not searched that part where it had been deposited. ‘Tovenen axv Gone: ~A few days since Mr. William W. Ward, of 122 White street, entered complaint at the lower police that he had been robbed of $300 by a girl named Maria Smith, whom he had accompanied to a house of ill fame in Duane street, near Church, within the pre- cincts of the “amorous” ward, so ably represented by Al- derman Tillou. The girl was therefore arrested by officer Welch and committed for further investigation, #3 ulso to obtain testimony against aman named George Lewis,who was supposed to be her “pal.” Pending this delay she wi ken before Recorder Tallmadge on Saturday and discharged for want of testimony to detain her. Lost Boy. —A smart, intelligent little boy, aged about six years, was brought to the upper police on Friday last, and placed in the c if M er,the benevolent keep- er. He says his name is Charles Henry Rafferty, and that his father lives in Newark, and “makes wheels,” and that he has recently been living with a Mrs. Gore in this city, from whose house he was lost. Coroner’s Office=Suxvay.—Deatn From Vomrtina The coroner held an inquest at Bellevue Hospi. boily of James Mead, a native of Ireland, aged 69 years. He had been addicted to intemperate habits und hail recently lived ut the house of Julia Falvey, 12 Prince street. On Friday morning, after several days excess, he was taken with severe vomiting of blood and water, which continued at intervals ‘untif Saturday, when he wes removed to Bellevue Hospital, but died before reaching the place of destination. Verdict, “death by vomiting blood.” Tue Late Disasrer.—The melancholy event on board the Princeton has indeed deeply, sensibly affecte! every member of the community. It is the chief topic in the streets and in the homestead ; and the general sympathy is an earnest that, no matter in what respect we may sometimes differ in honestly entertained opinions, there are moments when the heart, despite its prejudice, diffuses its mehest and purest treasures. Many hundreds yesterday and to.day were at the Presi- dent's House, to gaze, for the last time, upon the bruised and mutilated faces of the deceased, as they lay clothed in the habiliments of death, in the East Room of the Ex ecutive sion—ere they shall, before the decline of to- morrow’s sun, for ever be deposited in the silent tomb ‘There was scarce a whisper heard in that chamber, where, but a few nights since, at the levee, the enlivening strains of music imparted additional joy to the assambly ; and the contrast was still more heightened by the funeral emblems, the solemn black, and snowy drapery, place on the mirrors which had reflected innumerable forms and smiles, and on the chandeliers, which had profusely thrown forth their dazzling light. But not only the President's House outwardly displays the mourning badge—the edifices occupied by the several Departmonts wear a similar aspect. The doors are closed ~the clerks have ed from duty—the watchmen alone remain within the spacious walls, All bat the actually necessary business of the Government has been suspend- ed, Executive, Legislative and Judicial.—Madisonian. A Noste Incrpent mn THE History or Con. Ben- ton.—We take pleasure in doing justice to every man, The following incident is calculated to elevate Colonel Benton in the estimation ef every person in the country. That distinguished gentleman was a guest of the gallant Stockton on the day ofthe dreadful disaster on board the Princeton, and, like every one else in the ship, was delighted with the urbanity of the commanding ofl cer, and with the attention which was exhibited to all guests on board by his officers and crew; but more esp i and successful experiment which wus ally with the bol shown in the construction and warlike appointments of the Princeton. Colonel Benton, at the time of the accident, was standing near the gun ina hayardous position, and, although we are happy to state, not seriously wounded, was Ko severely shocked and cruised as to expose him to imminent danger of losing his life. He was thrown down upon the deck, and supposed himself severely, if not mor- tally injured. ' At this critical moment, while gasping for returning breath, he exclaimed, in a broken voicc, to those around him, “ Say to Captain Stockton that this ac- cident has not impaired my confidence in the glorious ex iment of the Princeton, or lessened my regard for her brave and gallant commander.” This sentiment of Colonel Benton, expressed in the spirit of truth and just'ce, so en- tirely controlling and convincing at the moment, must be the feeling of the whole country upon this subject. — Madi- sonsan. F Trravor Gov, Dorr.—The trial of Ex-Governor Dorr began in Newport last Thursday {From Correspondence of the Providence Jour, March 2.} Newronr, March 1.—The Supreme Court met yester- day afternoon, at half past two o'clock, and Deputy She- riff Potter, of your city, surrendered Thomas w. Borr to the Court. The indictment was rend to the prisoner, and he demurred to it; the substance of his plea is that the Court have not ju jiction to try him in this county, as the offence, it ony, was committed in Providence The Arguments on that plea willbe made this morning. The Court room was fall, but all was calm and quict, and the prisoner wppenred entirely self-possessed. lowa.--The Legislature of fowa has passed a bows bod the LG nu expression of the wishes of he poopie of that Territory, relativ a P ment, on the let of ‘ard next, Leen ane away there. We don’t believe it isto be found on the face of the earth. Tue Spring Exection.—We are serry to per- ceive from the movements of the old parties, that our friends, the Native Americans, notwithstand- ing the efforts they have made, will very likely be prevented from obtaining any victory at the spring election, or carrying into effect anyreforms. This unfortunate prospect arises mainly from the “‘ old hunkers” of the whig party, who have, under the influence of the Fourier section of that class of men, organised, and are determined to nominate a Mayor of their own. In this aspect of the case,we will have three distinct parties in the field at the spring election—the locofocos, the natives, and the whigs. We understand that the locofocos are thinking of running Mr. Coddington, the late postmaster, for that office, and we must say that he would be one of the most formidable candidates they could put up. A more efficient, untiring, and incorruptible man of business, never filled any public office. We had evidence enough of this during the several years in which he was in the post office of this city, which was then conducted infinitely better than ever since, and for many years previous to his ap- pointment. The natives talk, we understand, of a number of candidates; but the most prominent is James Harper, the publisher. Mr.Harper is a very excellent. and worthy man, and we believe not a philosopher, in the Fourier sense of the term, but a Christian and a good business man, as far as the publishing cheap and also valuable books, isconcerned. He would probably make a very good Mayor. We are very much inclined to think, however, that the natives willbe defeated by those who profess to be their friends. This rump of the whig party at the Broadway House, under the in- fluence of the philosophers—the Tribune Fourier philosophers—are determined to go into the field, andj if they do, the locofocos will have an easy victory. Cannot something be done to prevent the defeat of all hopes of reform? Must these philosophers of the Broadway House—these Fourierites exercise sufficient influence to mar all our prospects ? Commencement or tH Campaian.—The Clay Clubs, under the direction of generalissimo Rey- nolds, and the other branches of the Whig party, in- cluding the Fourier battalion, muster at the Broad- way Tabernacle this evening. An oration is to be delivered, speeches to be made, and a general out- break of the Clay enthusiasm to get vent. We shall see how the Whigs muster, and give a full report in to-morrow’s Herald. Tue Caunoun Movem We have received from the Chairman of the Free Trade or Calhoun Committee, the following note:— New York, March 3, 1944, Bennett, Esq — I observed in your paper of to-day a statement “that the Salhoun Committee held a meeting on Friday evening last, and/passed resolutions assenting to, and concurring inthe call of the Baltimore Convention.” As Chairman of the meeting alluded to, I have to say that such is not the fact, but on the con! @ resolution of exactly an opposite character wi d with entire unanimit This te ment is made thus promptly under the ful) conviction that you will give it an immediate insertion in your paper Respectfully, &e. A. D. WILSON. There is something very mystical about the mevements of the Free Trade Calhoun people in “these diggins.” From the source of our informa- tion we cannot be mistaken that something of the kind was passed in the free trade concern, but these philosophers are so changing and changeable that it is impossible to fix them for a week to any particular theory. Look, for instance, at their various laughable attempts to get up newspaper organs—conventions—creeds, and mighty public meetings, all of which have ended iv abortion. Even the mighty efforts of General McCracken and General Duff Green have ended in smoke. Their most recent move is to start Duff again with acapital of $50,000, if they can get the first $5 subscribed. Come along, old boys, and we’ll be- gin the subscription, provided you will be of one mind for one week. Fraup anp Rascatrry.—At the commencement of the March term of the General Sessions, this morning, we understand Recorder Tallmadge will charge the Grand Jury specially relative to the frauds committed upon the whole community by the managers of the Commercial Bank, the New York Life and Trust Company, &c. We shall have it fully reported and published in our evening edi- tion ot to-day. Tue Counry Court meets this afternoon at four o’clock, to take definite action upon the charges preferred against Justice Gilbert, of the Upper Police—and may possibly select a District Attorney to fillthe place so long since made vacant by the resignation of James R. Whiting, Esq. Arntvar rrom Evrovg.—The packet ship New York, Capt. Cropper, arrived last night from Liver- pool with advices to the 3d ult. The next arrival will, therefore, bring news. ‘The Liverpool is the packet now due. The regular day of sailing was the Gi ult. The steamer Caledoria leaves Liver- pool to-morrow for Boston. Brisk Business —The wonderful Professor Gou- raud has had about 1500 in his last class of Phreno- Mnemotechny, at $5 a piece—making a nice little sum of $7500 in about three weeks. Who would not be a philosopher ? Pautmo’s Benerit.—The complimentary benefit to the little Napoleon of the Opera, Signor Palmo, is fixed for Thursday night. Every body admits with enthusiasm his claims on the favor of the pub- lie, and were the house treble its size it would be crammed onsuch an occasion. It will indeed be a proud night. Cuaracreristic.—One of our famous pilot boats spoke the whale ship Stephania, last Thursday, off Fire Island. She had been twenty-eight months from home, and instead of asking who was Presi- dent, the whale captain eried out through his speak ing trampet, “Pilot boat, ahoy! what's the price of ile in York?” “By the Herald I’spose ‘twill fetch 86 centsa gallon.” “ The hell it will!” and epreading his studding sails, he bore away to New Bedford at 10 knots an hour Arremrren RevivaL or Suinpcaster CurREN- cy—Tue Pamerenp Banx.—We have received very interesting and useful intelligence from Tren- ton, concerning the proceedings of the New Jer- sey Legislature on the repeal of the Plainfield Bank charter. The agency of this concern, in this city, has been publishing false statements of their pro- ceedings—saying that the subject had been dropped by the Legislature, when, in fact, it has only began, as will be seen by the following [From the Trenton State Gazette] ‘Tux New Jnnsey Lecistatons—Councn,, Wednesday Feb 25--Mr, Wright moved to take up the bill to repeal the charter of the Plainfield Bank. . Mr. Wilson hoped the gentleman would let the business take its usual order, A many bills had been pro- alin during his absence, which probably were &s important, in the estimation of those who had charge of them, as were the bills of the Councillor from Hudson Mr, Wright retorted with some severity, He was not at all obliged to gentlemen for the anxiety they frequently manifested about his conduct. He was master of his own d responsible for it himself. ‘The bill was taken up, and the reading commenced, and Mr, Wright asked leave to withdraw the bill, asthe Coun cillor from Middlesex had a resolution to oer on this subject, and he (Mr. W.) did not wish to prejudire the in teresty ol the Bunk. Leave was granted and the bill withdrawn, Mr. A. W. Brown then offered a resolution for the ap- pointment of three commissioners, by the Governor, Thvestigate the affairs of the Plainfield Bank. Messre. Ihrie and Hulm opposed the resolution as hasty and extraordinary. ‘Messrs. Hamilton, Wilson, Wright and Dodd advocated it,as duetothe Bank, which was sufering in conse- quence of the presentation here of bill to repeal its charte! Mr. Hulme moved the resolution lie on the table and be printed, Not agreed to—6 to 3. ‘The resolution was then adopted. From this it will be perceived that a resolution has passed, directing the Governor of New Jersey to appoint three commissioners to investigate the accounts and acts of the Plainfield Bank, previous to the repeal of the charter. This is all right and proper, and is the course that should be pursued in relation to every doubtful institution. If the char- ter were at once repealed, the bank might take advantage of the sudden act, stop payment next day, and leave a large quantity of their paper afloat. But as time and investigation are given, the bank must continue to pay out, and thus the community will have an opportunity to get rid of these bills, either at the agency at the Sun Office in Fulton street, or at the bank itself, in Plainfield. We trust, that as the legislature of New Jersey has given a little time, the community will em- brace the reprieve, like Babe’s reprieve from the gal- lows,and get rid of the Plainfield’as soon asthey can. They must, indeed, submit to be shaved, cut of 50 cents on every hundred dollars, but they ought to be very well satisfied to get off so easily and so cheaply. Let them remember the Jacksonville shinplasters—these were issued by the same financier—and by the same agency. Is there any proof, any guarantee that the Plainfield 1s not a chip of the same block? When we warned the public to avoid the Jacksonville, we were vio- lently assailed—called “ rascal”—‘villain”—‘ for- ger,” and other choice names. Libel suits were commenced against us—and James R. Whiting was engaged as counsel—yet all these valiant el- forts did not prevent the catastrophe of the Jack- sonville, and the consequent lossto the community Is there any guarantee that the Plainfield Bank, now inthe same virtuous hands, will not end as the Jacksonville did? The Legislature of New Jer- sey certainly think not. They are wisely deter- mined to protect the community, in these eras of shinplaster revivals, from the losses and evils of a badly managed bank, and have accordingly order- ed the Governor of New Jersey to appoint three persons to investigate that precious concern. In the meantime, get your Plainfield changed— and touch not any more, for the present. The banks of New York can furnish a good-enough currency for the people of New York. There is no necessity to go to an obsure village in New Jersey to get a currency, and then to submit to be shaved out of 50 cents on the trash, Imvortant Povutar Movement.—Tue Broken Banxs anp Trust Compantes.—After a sleep of nearly twenty years, from 1525 to 1844, the public mind begins to wake up to the results of the recent bank and trust companies of this city, and we per- ceive that the first movement has begun in the fol- lowing step :— F have been ‘American mand depo- been which recentl; made in relation to the affairs of the No: ‘Trust and Banking Company, wherein it is sh proven, that several millions of dollars, (the special ites of widows, orp! h who had the direction tutions 0: the same character, and believing that the time has come when it is necessary for the honor of ot try, that a stop should be put to such a wholesal of fraud and swindling, and that the public voice loud! calls for the condemnation of such bold-faced robbery, we the undersigned. do hereby recommend a public meeting of the people of this city, to deneunce such acts, to be held on such aday, and at such place, as shall be hereafter designated by & meeting of the undersigned. Due notice will be given to signers when and where the first meeting will be held. This is the right ground, in order to prevent such conduct in future among the managers of our mo- nied institutions. So far as the past is concerned, we believe justice is out of the question. By law the Grand Jury has no right to indict for fraud and swindling, after the lapse of two years from the date of the act. This takes all such cases out of the cri.ninal courts—but public opinion ought to be brought out, in order to sustain good institutions, and put the brand on the bad. The following is only a partial list of the explosions in this city for a few years past :— Exchange Company, capital. ... North American Trust & Banking € American Life Insurance & Trust C Southern Life & Trust C Erie Railroad Co. Commercial Bank, La Fayette Bank, Brooklyn Bank,.’. Chelsea Bank, Clinton Bank Wool Growers’ Bank, . Staten Island Bank,. . tote seeeee Jacksonville Bank, (Moses ¥. Beach, agent, We believe all the capital of these banks is sunk. Besides, the following banks have lost part of their capital :— Mechanics’ Bank, say Manhattan Bunk,. Phenix Bank,........ Greenwich Bank,..... Total,..... see Not to speak of the insurance companies that have lost a large amount of capital. Which bank will explode next? Trapine IN Broop.—We find the following ar- ticle in the ““Madisonian,” relative to an express which happened to leave Washington on the night of the day on which the great explosion and catas- trophe tock place :— On the evening of the recent sad occurrence, we pub lished extra-Madisonians containing an account of it, and directea them to all the papers published on the line to be passed by the Express, which was to leave this city at 11 o'clock, P. M., between Washington and Boston. When they were properly directed, the person (we did not learn d the Express car for other ips containing the melan- choly intelligence, to the different cities, unless perm to make what use of them he pleased; and alleged that in- asmuch as he had been disappointed by the Senate, not the Oregon question that day, he must endeavor hia losses by conveying, in his own manner, and on his own terms, the news of the accident, Our ob- ject being solely to disseminate the intelligence, we i the extraa in his hands. He d he would have jive extras printed for sale in the different cities, to monopolize the profits. Whether or not our slips were delivered to any of the editors to whom they were ad. dressed, we will soon see.— Madisonian. In reply to the interrogatory of the “Madi- sonian,” we say that no slips were received at this office. On such a melancholy occasion as that of the Princeton, any man, or set of men of common humanity, would never have attempted to make money out of blood and death, as seems to have been attempted on that occasion. + «$1,100,000 Ametta Norman.—lIs this unfortunate being still with Mrs. Childs? We have heard rumors that she has left under queer circumstances. Traian Orgra—Lvcta pt LammMermoor.—Don’t forget that the fourth representation of the beauti- ful Lucia will be given to-night at Palmo’s Theatre- Lach past representation has been better than the preceding. To say nothing of the ‘vocalists for once, the beautiful solo by Rapetti, on the violin, given in the course of the Opera, ig ome of the finest gems of the evening. Annual Festival of the St. David's Societies or York and‘ yn, The annual celebration of the Benevolent Societies of this city and Brooklyn, took place at the Tivoli Saloon, on Fri evening last, the anniversary of the patron Saint of Cambria. It was in many respects by tar the most interesting affair of the kind which we have ever attended in is city. Instead of the noisy, wine-drinking, hip—hip—hurrah sort of thing, with which the other benevolent societies celebrate their anniver- saries, the sons of St. David provided an elegant supper—abundunce of the pure, chrystal Croton— and gallantly throwing open the doors to the ladies, adorned their festive board with a glorious array of the choicest flowers of grace and loveliness About five hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to supper, including a large number of invited guests, amongst whom were some of the loveliest women in this or any other city under heaven. A fine band was in attendance, and the Master Hughes’ were also present, with the harps which have so often vibrated with the spirit stirring me- lodies of their native mountains. The appearance of the saloon, when the large company had all assembled, was striking and grati- fying in the extreme. The tables had been ar- ranged with great taste, and were bountifully cover- ed with all the materials for a scene of rational and temperate festivity. Of the beauty of the ladies we can hardly trust ourselves to speak. There was, we can only say, very good reason for the re- mark made by one of the guests, that he was sure there would be no headaches after that feast, but how many heartaches would follow it he would’nt venture to say ! ‘The President of the Society, Davin C. Couven, Esq, occupied the chair, the duties of which he discharged with characteristic dignity and tact. He was supported by Mr. Faber, President of the German Society, Mr. Roe- burn, of the St. Patrick’s, and Dr. Manly, of the St. Nicho- law. ‘At the head of the ‘table we also noticed the Rev Mr. Jones, the venerable Morris, Esq., (g1 of oue of the signers of the Declaration of Independence,) and several distinguished professional gentlemen, with their blooming wives. Atter eupper-—which was a truly sumptuous one, and speke well for the taste of the stewards and Mr. Denman, the proprietor of the Tivoli— the first regular toast, “St. David's Day,” was proposed by Mr. Coldes, in a very eloquent speech, which excited ex thusiastic applause. Afterwards came the ot toasts, which were accompanied by approprial from the band; glees by members of the Socicty ; on the harp by Masters Hughes; and songs by Mr. h, whose adinirable execution of that touching song, “The spot where was born,” was received with raptuross applause. Mr. Roxaunn returned thanks on the part of the St. Patrick’s Society, for the toast given in its honor, and after a few happy remarks, gave, as a sentiment—"The harps of Cambria and Erm—may they never cense to vibrate with melodies in honor of their national virtues.” Mr. Fauen also returned thanks in eloquent termi behalf of the German Society, and offered a beautiful sentiment, which we regret we cannot at present give correctly, Dr. Maxtny made a very excellent speech in returning thanks for the St. Nicholas Society. He spoke in a very happy manner of the hospitable welcome which this city extended to the good citizen of every clime, and con- cluded by offering a. sentiment expreggive of the happy re- sults of the fraternal union of the St. David's and other be- nevolent tocietien of this city. ‘After the regular tousts, the report ofthe literary com- mittee of the Society, appointed to award the prizes for three ofthe best essays and poems in the Welsh Janguage, was read. ‘The successful competitor for one of the prizes —an elegant silver medal—was called forward to the chair, and, after some complimentary remarks from Mr. Colden, received the prize. ‘Then a prize was awarded to a fine lad of twelve years of age, who performed several airs, with remarkable skill and spirit, on the accordion, andjwho was. the only competitor for'a prize, offered to boys under fifteen, for the best musical performances — This part of the proceedings of the evening was exceed- ingly interesting, and presented a novel and most agreco- ble feature in this celebration. _ After the distribution of the prizes, there was more mu- sic and singing, and a sweet little girl of five or six years years of age, sister of the Masters Hughes, played a simple air ona miniature harp, andsang alittle song, to the great delight of the company. Mr. Jones, an active: and energetic officer of the So: ciety, then proposed asa sentiment, “A. free press in all lands the best gua of liberty.” ‘This was received great opplause, on the subsidence of which, Dr. J. A Hovstow was. called on to respond, and after returning thanks for the honor done to the press, of which he w very humble representative, and making some compli mentary allusions to the ladies, who had honored the fes- tival with their presence, he gave ax a sentiment, “The Worship of Worman—mother, sister, wife and friend,—the only idolatry Heaven forgives—in this respect we con never be too great sinners!” Mr. Coupes then proposed the health of His Honor the Recorder, who had just then entered the room. ‘This was recedwad with great applause. His Honor-returned thanks. He said that ahearty welcome from the city of New York awaited all emigrants from other shores who are disposed to improve and enjoy in a proper spirit, the blessings o our free institutions ; and such was the character of the reat majority of our adopted citizens, though, he said, there “‘weresome miscreants from the other side of the, water, who abused this liberty, and skulked behind th hhelter of the press.” He concluded by complimenting the Sons of St. David, for their uniform good conduct and high respectability. ts A. tic of the truth, honesty and characterised her children.” Mr. Ciinenvon gave—"Wales—May no enemy ever cat her bread, nor kiss any of her (air daughters.” A number of other excellent sentiments were ‘iven—good songs sung—and at an early hour the large companydispersed. The evening was one scene of unbroken enjoyment—quiet, rational and de- lightful. It presented an illustration of the supe- rior excellence and pleasure of a temperance festi- val, as contrasted with the two frequently uproar- ous and disgusting bacchanalian species of public entertainment, and we trust the example will not be without its effect. ue which in all ages have A New anp Spienvip Horen.—We perceive that anew and splendid hotel is now in course of erec- tionat the corner of Broadway and Washington Place, nearly opposite the Church of the Messiah. It is said that 1t will contain a greater number of apartmentsthan the Astor House itself, and the pro- prietor intends to fit it up in the style of the Hote! des Princes in Paris. This is one of the most splendid hotels in the French capital, and is situated in the Rue Richelieu. It is kept in the most ele- gant style. We happened to reside there during our last visit to Paris, and we were never in any hotel where we found more attention and comfort. Breakfast is given in your own room, and a table d’hote is served at 5or6 o'clock in the most re- cherché style, equal to that of any private house. We understand that this hotel will be finished in the month of August. But who will the proprietors get to open it? Where is the person possessed of the practical tact for such a large establishment ? We do not know any one so well fitted to conduct it as Bardotte, formerly of the Tortoni, down Broadway.

The general character of the bill is such as should recommend it to the members of the Board, and we think it will meet their sanction. Under this bill the city is to be divided into two police districts, which are to be sub-divided into six patrol districts. The present organization of the watch department, day police officers of the several wards, and Sunday officersare to be abolish- ed, and 650 men appointed as the patrol police, to perform the eame duties now performed by the first-named_ persons, who are nearly double that number. The whole patrol is to be divided into two companies, to do duty alternately, by day and night, and relieved every six hours in the day time and four at night. The companies of patrol are to be subdivided to meet the wants of the com- munity, and squads are to be selected to prevent crime in various parts ot city, wherever they nay be stationed. Each company of patrol is to be subdivided into two companies, which are to be under the immediate direction of two captains and four assistants, tobe appointed from the body. o the patrol. Each company is to be again subdivi- ded into a stationary and squad patrol, the former of which are to be placed at certain points both by day and night, to give communication to the police, information to strangers, &c., and the latter to. pa- trol the district in which. they are stationed, in a body, to preserve the public peace, &c.; the former. to be distinguished by some particular mark of dress, and the latter by some emblem or device, to be kept in their possession. The present police of- fices are to be used as heretofore, as well as the watch houses, and the business is to be conducted Italian COMPLIMENTAR: BENEFIT TO SIGN 0. undesigons tasians to rapport a.

Graham, by six magistrates, six clerks, and a scrivener—one magistrate and clerk are to be on duty at each po- lice office at all times of day and night. Forty po- lice officers are to be appointed to perform the du- ties at the two offices, and are to receive $600 per annum for such service, with no other perquisites, except such as are received as rewards, which sums are to be placed in the hands of the presiding magistrate, and divided equally by the comptroller among allthe officers every quarter. The of the appointment of the police, including o: which is during good behavior, is to be vested in a “board of appointment,” consisting of the Mayor, the Recorder, the District Attorney, and three Al- dermen and Assistants, who are to be chosen by ballot after the passage of this ordinance, and an- nually thereatter in June of each year, by the Com- mon Council. The salaries are, for the special jus- ces $1400 ; clerks of police $1000 ; scriveners $500; captains of patrol $600; assistant captains $550; police. nThcern OY and patrol men $500; which salaries are to be paid semi-monthly. From our long intereourse with matters con- nected with the police, we unhesitatingly pronounce this bill to possess more to recommend it for adop- tion, than any plan yet before the Common Coun- cil. The material improvements of a day and night continuous police, to watch, guard, and pro- tect the property and lives of our citizens—the pre- sence of a police magistrate on duty by night and by day, and the + spointment of the officers during good behaviom ate in accordance with the views enteriained by 32, and which we have time and again recommesded to the Common Council When this plar. -vas originally proposed, we con curred in it, and gave it an ex alunive publication, and shall now watch its progress, and mark any man who has the temerity to ii eer its adoption by any technical er nonsensieal objections. 4 The present system is ruinous to the community, and to all connected with the police. It forms no protection, except such as chance would render a city where law is partially respected by a portio of the citizens; and atthe same time places the oflicers in a position where corruption 1s certain to reach them. It encourages laziness, and holds out no inducements for energy or usefulness, and should long since have been abolished. ‘ There are now connected with the upper and From this num- d who are well to be assigned to lower police, about forty officers ber about thirty could’ be selec competent to. perform the duties them under this new police bill. The others should be dismissed forbiweiti, as incompetent; and as a uide to the “ Board of Appointment” in their se- ection,;we recommend, in order that they may be able to clearly distinguish between those who are industrious, active and capable, and those who are not, to appoint a committee to investigate the matter ‘by an examination of their breeches, whether the bottoms are much or little worn— for that fact in the philosophy of the police—not ot Fourrierism—ought te determine the selection A similar, but a reverse conclusion should also set- tle the re-appointment of the magistrate e bch the committee to be appointed will look to this.
