A few evenings ago a very handsome and intelli- gent collection of people of both sexes assembled in the epacious and well known Manhattan Assem- bly Rooms, for the purpose of commencing a great philanthropic movement, calculated to increase the benevoient feelings of the age; a change peculiarly necessary and desirable in the present vicious state of the public feeling and public affairs. The com- pany was highly intelligent, composed of some of the first spirits of the city. Atter a good deal of previous conversation, they proceeded to organize the assembly into a regular meeting—called upon ene of them whom the spirit moved, to commence the great movement of humanity, and proceed to stem the torrent’ of cruelty and passion, that has been holding sway go long in the world. After some preliminary conversation, in which a number of very intelligent people took part, the venerable Thomas Herttell, formerly a member of Assembly for this city and Albany, stood up and commenced the delivering of the following ad- dress on cruelty to dumb beasts. Tnomas'Hertrect rose and said—This vice, cruel- ty to dumb beasts, seems to be as common as the moral depravity of mankind ; and as great and ex- treme as the ignorance ot which both are the con- sequences ;—aud education has conspired with other causes to induce the evi in question, and to justify aud confirm its practice. _ Even religion, as it has been taught to man, has, in eflect, contributed its iufluence to restrain the natural feelings of human- ity, and smother man’s ubhorrence of acts of cruelty to the brute creation. Being taught to believe and venerate the Mosiac Cosmoguny, (so called,) it is part of man’s creed that dumb beasts were created for his special use; and that the “right to use” is (by an easy transition) made the right to abuse and treat them ashe pleases. Presuming that dumb beasts have no souls, he also holds that he has no intellect, no reason and no rights, but quiet and pa ent submission to such infliction as the ignorance, passion and Anhainenlty of their ‘ Lord and mas: ter” may capriciously choose to impose upon them. [Applause from the ladies, particularly.] Look at the treatment of the horse, one of the most noble animals which were “created for mun’s use ;” and see how he is used and abused by barbarous and savage man. The cruelty inflicted on this tractible and submissive animal, is probably a fair sample of the manner in which he is in other chris- tian countries. So accustomed are we to witness the daily, numerous and gross instances of the cruelty inflicted on this useful and wnresisting dumb being, that it is usually passed by unheeded, or viewed with cold indifference as a mere common occurrence, a matter of course, of little or no moment, and not worth notice! Thus, general consent tol- erates the wrong, and public opinion regards it as no offence against either moral or civil law; and im- punity screens the culprit from punishment, aud thus encourages the repetition of such acts, and increases crime; and cruelty to dwmb beasts is vir- tually made the Common Law of our country. Joun Smrra—I think it is very uncommon law. Lyp1a Hoorer—Oh! shocking ! shocking. SkveraL Voices—Go on—oilence. Mr. Hertrsit continued—How often do we witness in our public streets the ebullition of human passion, recklessly and unmercifully vented upon the suffering and submissive horse? Though, as in tany instances, blind, lame, starved, poor and feeble, whi raining every nerve, muscle, and limb, to the extent of his power, to remove to its required destination, a burthen greatly dispropor- tioned to his strength—who is there who have not seen him unmercifully scourged, lashed, waled, and lacerated all over his body and limbs; violently pulled, jerked, and twitched by the reins, and sawed by the bridle bits across his jaws, as it to break the bone, dislodge the teeth, gash the tongue, and tear his lips. (Great sensation.) How often is he madly kicked and bruised on his belly with heavy thick soled boots—outrageously beaten over his body and limbs with the butt of a whip, the rung of a cart, a club or billet of wood, uctil he (has been known to) groan under the in- fliction and tears run from his eyes—to all which he is obliged to subinit without the power to resist, or the means of remonstrating—and who cares! Who heeds such injustice or cares forsuch brutal- ity: Whoever knew the perpetrator of such cruelty called to yecount or punished for his crime? Who, under the present waned and waning state of public morals, can be expected to uadertake alone to correct them? Will any Judge officially notice the crime in question, and order legal pro- ceedings to be instituted against the savage to pun- ish hum for cruelty to a dumb beast! Why should he trouble himself with business for which he would get no increase ot pay, and receives bis sa- lary whether he does his duty or not! Will an al- derman or other justice of the peace move in the matter, or with more promptitude and energy % Joun Surtu.—No, indeed; aldermen will eat oysters at Fiorence’s, and drink champaign, but will do no such thing. cS Mary Wootrstencrort Smitu.—True! shock- ing! Mr. Hertrewt, continued.—Certainiy not! It would endanger his pogndarity should he be so im- prudent as to cause aman to be troubled only for using his own property just as he pleases! Will the District Attorney call him to account? It is not his duty, officia ys to arrest or prosecute in a case no longer regarded by the public asa crime! Who expects a constable or marshal to arrest the offender, with a view to vindicate the laws of hw manity? Really, noone! The stool pigeon prac- tice 18 more profitable than any business in which there no interest but to subserve the cause of morality ! Joun Surra.—True ; God’s own truth. | Paeen Witxins.—Let’s have no more interrup- tions. Mr. Herrret, covtinued.—Will the public press, the boasted censor of public morals, note the shameful act—denounce its vile character, and ex- pose its villainous author? kditors are ex officio sensible men, and averse to lose a subscriber, and thus impair the patronage of a uselul mi moni- tor! [Great applause.} Will the holy pastors of the church be disposed to stir up the wrath and in- dignation cf their pious men, and turn the moral influence of religion against cruelty to dumb beasts? The professors of the true faith are so much engaged in saving the souls of men, that they have no time to waste on dumb beasts, who have no souls to be saved from the barbarous cruelty of men who claim to have immortal souls! [Extra- ordinary applause and cheers.] Who, then, can expect that they will be diverted from their charita ble and interesting labor of raising money for rever- end missionaries, or forego the manifestation of 80 much christian humility as is shown forth in the plendid and costly temples reared and devoted to the ostentatious exhibition of public prayers, the public show of religion, and to illustrate the practi- cal influence of their master’s divine admonition— « be not like the hypocrite.” (Great sensation and applause.) Who ever dreamed or heard of an in- stance in which crueltyto dumb beasts has ever been denounced, officially and publicly, by clerical professors as immoral and irreligious ; or that (hat crime ever constituted the principle or leading theme of a public discoure from the pulpit? And who ever knew an instance where any public con- servator of the public peace, or official guardian of public morals, ever, voluutarily and officially, in- terposed his authority to prevent the crime, or to punish the offender against the laws of humanity in the case under consideration? (Vociferous ap- plause.) If, perchance, a feeling of sympathy for fellow beings should still survive; and pity, viewing with horror and disgust, exhibitions of human de- pravity and passion on dumb beasts, should prompt any philanthropist to interfere in behalf of the abused sufferer, to save him from savage cruelty, he would be laughed to scorn, or be sneered at for his sickly humanity, and denounced and abused, if nor chastised, for impudently intermeddiing with the “ right of man” to use his own property as he pleases! What citizen, then, will volunteer as a public moral censor, when the whole community, by their example, manifest a reckless indifference to the existence, frequency and turpitude of the evil in question? Man isa creature of education. Itis that which taught him to believe and reverence all the heterogeneous mass of absurdities, incon- gruities, and inconsistences which different na- tions, at various ages of the world, called religion ! Tt is education which has made man what he is and public opinion is his most_ efficient preceptor ! When all are habituated to witness crime, and the impunity which follows its perpetration; and none, ortew, are found willing, or who, dare hazard the consequences of coersive opposition to resti the wrong or to enforce punishment of the evil doer ; ard the whole commanity thus tolerate the evil and encourage its repetition ; the law, both moral acd civil, egainst cruelty to dumb beasts have, by long non-user, virtually become obsolete, ard the moral depravity of man thus encouraged goes o1 ‘increasing to increase.” (Appiaees. 'o the same cause may be attributed the great radical and demoralizing error both in religton and c.vil government, that morality, like “ tacit obedience and non-resistance,” may be taught and enforced by fear of vindictive punishment; thereby making the fear of such punishment, the pesis of morality, religion and civil governmer”) What a pei and gross absurdity! ie virtuous and moral who refrains from mur year of being hanged? True, such fears may restrain the crime in the ab- sence of moral principle, but does not improve the morality of men nor lesson the disposition to crime, when passion dictates and chance creates a hope of its perpetration with impunity. Though educated, improved and learned in the knowledge of many arts and sciences, man yet remains ignor- ant of the true sources of the happiness of human life ; and does not appreciate them nor act in ac- cordance with them. [Applause.] But were mun- kind educated and taught to know the radical and true principles of the science of morality—he woud that to appreciate and practice them, would be his best interest and his greatest good. If he were learned to reason and reflect, would see and know that, by the eternal and immutable laws of nature, man is 50 constituted that he impulsively seeks hapiness and shuns pain; that quietude of mind 1s happiness and mental inquietude, misery, or unhappiness to man; and hence a consciousness ot ig a wilful wrong, huwever secret, is incompatible with quie- tade of mind, and thence a source of unhappiness of the evil doer. It is astrong proof of the above truth and of others which we shall demonstrate, that by the laws of nature all things which have lite have a tendency to produce their kind respec- tively ; that such is the truth not only in reference to animal and organic life, but 1s equally true in the intellecinal world. Hence every manilettation ot the mind, or disposition of mankind towarde their own species or other fellow beings, have a natural and inevitable tendency to produce tts like in the mind or disposition of those towards whom it may be directed, and are benefitted or injured by it. Thus kindness begets kundness, and hostility excites hostility in the mind of those who happen to be the objects, and fall within the influence of one or the other causes. And it is equally true and certain that the same means by which wild beasts may be tamed and rendered leas vicious,mere truc- table and less disposed to injure their keepers ard others from whom they receive their food and other favers, will also tame wild, ignorant, passion- ate, and depraved man, make him less vicious and less cruel, and more disposed to be just and kind to all who manifest a like disposition towards him. {Applause} Though man is often the cause of his own troubles, and the arbitor of his own destiny in life ; yet itis equally certain that his happiness depends on others no less than ‘himself. He can- not be alone happy—that is, no individual can be happy while all others wround him are suffering in pain and torment. Beiog naturally averse to misery, his quictude or peace of mind ts disturbed by the woes of others in his sight or hearing. When the cries of danger, pain, and dis tress of man or beast are heard ; each specice§re- spectively respond to the alarm and hasten to kuow the cause and destroy it, and thus restore the quie- tude of their own mind. Animal beings theretore feeling that their own happiness or quietude of mind is involved in the happ’ness or misery of oth- ers, they would not willingly harm or be the cause of pain to their fellow, beings. By injustice and wnkindness to others, man has made himseil ene- mies wherever the exhibition of his wnjust and unkind teelings and actions have caused pain to others and created in them a like spirit ot hostility and retaliation. This has been the cause of more enemies to man, and the source cf more mischief and misery to the human race, than aj! other evils which man has had to encounter. Yet. mankind still remains y dadise of the great and important truth, that to be just and kind to all animal beings are the radical principles of the science of morality, and to know, appreciate, and practice them, not only essential but indispensible to the peace and happiness of hwman life. Indeed, educated, as man has been, and yet continues to be—and what ia he but a poor, ignorant, passionate, unteeling, mercenary, and unhappy being—the destroyer of his own happi- ness or quietude of mind, and the cisturber of the quietude of ethers. And why marvel that he be 80, or expect that he should be otherwise 1 With daily increasing, and almost ramberless examples of erime committed with impunity before his eyes, and thus sanctioned and encouraged by heedlese indifference and publie opinion, why wonder that moral depravity yet exisis unabated in the community, and that cruelty to dumb beasts ceases to be regarded as an offence against (aw, moral, civil or divine? But in veve- loping the causes of the moral depravity and cruel- ty of man, I shall not attempt to prove or admit that beasts have no souls; or that such premises can excuse or authorize cruelty to them, or sanc- tion injustice and wnkindness to them or any other being yossessed of animal life. That beasts, how- ever, and birds too) have mind, reason, feelings of joy and grisf—pleasureand pain, sympathy, friend- ship und gratitude, in common with man, if not selt evident, is as certain and susceptible of proot, as any other truth can be demonstrated by facts and logical induction. Though the qualities or at feetions of the mind above noted, may be greater and of higher grade in man, than when exhibited by the brute creation; yet in numerous instances have the latter exhibited evidence of theirsagacity 80 obviously and strong as to elicit the special wo.- der ot the “* Lords of Creation!” Nor, in exposing the error and the mischiel of which we have been speaking, shall {spend much time and labor to prove that beasts have sowls! Not knowing what a soul is, I shall not presume to know whence or how it came to be, and whither it goeth ; nor shall I un- dertake to enlighten public opinion (always wise) on that subject. But it a soul ve a spark of Divini- ty, a portion of the Divine Essence or Holy Spirit, naturally or miraculously infused or implanted in the body and mind of man, to tell him what is right and what is wrong—to admonish him to be virtuous and to avoid vice ; it must follow necesea- rily and irrefutably that such useful knowledge, so gratuitously and miraculously proceeding from Divine influence, would always lead man to do right and never wrong; and Divine justice and infinite mercy would never influence the divine spirit to punish and punish cteanally the only un mortal part or living soul of man—that part of the divine being or portion of himself—tnat inate in- ward monitor which never influenced man to com- mit “sin” or ceased to admonish him against do- ing evil! But while men continue to be taught that beasts have no souls, and were made for man’s use—that the right to use is the right to abuse the dumb creation as he pleases—and while cruelty to dumb beasts and other acts of inhumanity and crime continue to be unheeded and thus tolerated by the public, crimes are encouraged by impunity and repeated, increased and extended to any ex- treme which the ignorance, inhumanity, error, and passions of men capriciously choose to carry them. Thus educated by public example, and taught les- sons of moral evil by public practice, how can it be rationally expected that the moral depravity of man can be diminished, his moral character im- proved, or the condition of man or beast be me- Hlorated 1—[Great applause] Until man shall be educated to know that gustice and kindness to all animal creation, are the radical principles or basis of the whole science of morality, and that the knowledge and practice ot those truths are essential and indispensible to the virtue, well being and hap- piness ef the humanf§frace, then, ana not till then, will the moral condition and character of mankin be improved, and cruelty to dumb beasts cease to disgrace the human family! Then, indeed, and not till then, will the ferocious “lion and the gen- tle and helpless lamb lie down together” in peace and security, and none shall be, to disturb their rest—then, indeed, will the millennium come in reality, aad be no more regarded as an imaginary atate of human virtue and happiness. —[Vociterous applause which, continued for some time.] The company then separated, more delighted with the intellectual and moral entertainments of the evening, than all that theatres or club rooms ever gave. Rumors or A Mormon War.—By the steamer Lebanon which arrived this morning from the Illi- nois river, we learn that when she Jeft Beardstown yes terday, the military ordered out by Governor Ford were lithere waiting his arrival and reinforcements under is command from the vicinity of Jacksonville As the Lebanon passed down, a number of soldiers had assembled at Well’s Landing, who were also waiting tor further or- ders, The movements of this great Commander-in-Chiet appear to be characterised by the same tardiness for which they were so peculiarly distinguished during the first Mormon Punic war. Nauvoo would be ransacked and pillaged before this renowned military chieftain could get his army together and in motion. His proclamation, we un ind, called for a general rendezvous of all the forces destined for the protection of the Mormons on the =| whether he another, This grand war and has not heen equalled since the days of the C' is indeed a campaign of surprise if not of reprisal, for it bas taken the citizens of Warsaw by surprise, and we opine that the Mormons are equally ax much confounded to know what all this fuss about fighting means.

Slo cum is still here, Fi Business here is very dull. Coffee is very scarce and poor. But little new has yet arrived, and selling for from 2)|900 to 3/650. Flourcan hardly be given away; some small sales ot Baltimore tor 12/000 and New Orleans for 6/500 have been made. Raich- mond is worth 16/500, and likely to get better, as we do not expect any more betore the new crop. Don Pedro isa changed man, and ot late has proved himself very contrary and arbitrary, con- tunually discharging his suite and ministry, and making changes daily. The Brazilians are making great preparations 1n fitting out their navy to war with Buenos Ayres.

Exroxts —From the untavorable weather in the spring, several companies that came in have concludea not to 1 turn until next spring; consequently the exports arc mnch less than they otherwise, und in ordinary seasons, would be ‘The tourcompanies that have gone’ out, took in merchandize, at the cost in eastern markets, about $200,000, exclusive of insurance, freights, outfi ; which may be set down at $100,000, making altogether the coat, down to the time of leaving this place, about $300,000, which would have been sugmented to halt 0 million, but for the long season of wet weather we have had. ‘There were in the four companies 160 men ; and we give below, as near as we could ascertain, the aiticler furnished for outfits at this place :—780 mules, wort each $25, $27,300 ; 60 oxen, do $30, $1,800 ; 6,200 ‘Ibs. con, at 3) cents, $182; 30 barrels flour, at $o, $100; 90 bushels meal. 30 cents, $27 ; Merchandize, outtit for b> nds, $3,600; Harness for teams, $2 600; Black»miths’ work $500 Making altogether the sum of $3599, exclunve of wagons, wagon sheets, and many otler articles purchased at this place.

Anotuer Tria. or Mr. Wm. W. Huneewt’s Patent Fire-Arms.—On Monday last several gen- tlemen were present at the Philadelphia Gas works, to witness the trial of a musket on the principle of Mr Hub- bell’s patent, which fired in presence of Adjutant Gener»! Diller, Commander Magruder, of the U. 8, Navy and several distinguished scientific gentlemen fromthe East. In this trial the musket beg om, an uncommonly grent degree of orce in shooting, the bullets being splash ed to atoms against a brick wall after having passed through a plank two inches thick, the charge of powder used being only one-half of that nsed in the ordinary mus- ket ; the target was completely riddled with bullets. This musket ia so perfectly sate that all present did not hesita’ to fire it, after which the rapidity with which it could loaded and fired was timed by the wetch ; Mi Hubbell loaded and fired the m four minutes, taking aim every get. The breech was cleaned out in ten seconds yond then ready for use again. It loads at the breech, and re- ceives and fires but one load at atime, and has earned the reputation of being the most powerful military weapon ever known. We understand that orders for these arms are already being filled for the Emperorot Russia, and sufficient will be manufactured us soon as possible to equip a regiment of Pennsylvania infantry. Cnicxetina.—During the past week the return match with the Union Star Club of Brooklyn and the Philadelphia Club, was commenced on Wednesday and concluded on Thursday morning in favor of the Philv- delphians, they beating in one innings. The score of the Brookiynites was 43 in the first and 77 in the secona in ning#. The score of the Philadelphians in their one in. pings was 154.

The nine men that went in of the St. George's Club made but 68, of which number Wild made 16, Wright 16.

The game was resumed Saturday. ‘The Philadelphians second eleven went in and obtained 38 runs at the sacrifice of six wickets, The match was concluded at 2 o’clock—the St George’: Club making but 40 in their second innings, and were consequently beaten with ten wickets to go down.
