The attendance was both numerous and respectable — This society has been in operation 21 years, and has distributed upward of 108,000 Bibles and T'es- taments. It is the most importamt among the aux- iliaries of the American Bible Society, and from the time of its first organization has been constant- y extending its operations. ‘Fhe proceedings ot the evening w: commenced by a voluntary on the organ and singing. The President ot the So- ciety then introduced to the meeting the Rey. Dr. Banas, who read the 19th psalm. Mr.G. H. Williams, treasurer of the Society, read the balance sheet of the state of the funds for the past year, its receipts and expenditures, by which it appeared that the receipts have been $7,071 52, and the expenditure for bibles and Tes- taments, $5,495 44; salaries, &c. $1,197 42; rent, printing, wc. $378 66. Making the total expendi- ture the exact amount of the receipts. E. H. Buatcurorp, Esq., the Corresponding Sec- retary, then read a volumnious report, principally consisting of extracts from the month report of the general agent of the Society, Mr. L. P. Hub- bard; by which it appeared that the annual distri- bution of Bibles, &c., during the past year was 1,258,613 copies. In the last month upwards of 47,000 copies had been distributed. Rev. Dr. Levins, the Financial Secretary of the Society, moved the adoption of the report, and its being printed under the direction of the Board. Captain Samver Exuiorr moved a resolution re- commending increased energy in spreading the Holy Seripture among seamen, whom he argued required it more than any other class of men in existence. ! J. Tnomeson, Esq , of Poughkeepsie, moved a resolution declaring that the Bible was the only true foundation of morals, and contained the true rinciples of political philosophy, the only true foundation of popular liberty. The gentleman ave a lengthy address on this subject, and showed that the Holy Scriptures were the only tre source of every thing that was good, and when the Holy Scriptures were not in general circulation among the ge oy thing that was evil prevailed. The Rev. Bishop Cuase then came forward, and forcibly and teelingly addressed the meeting at considerable length, urging the claims the society had upon the public, the great good it was doing, and calculated to do, throxghout the length and breadth of the land. A i There were several beautiful pieces of music sung during the proceedings of the evening by the powerful choir attached to this place of worship. ‘The Croton Water—American Institute, Last evening, a meeting of the officers and mem- bers of the American Institute, took place in the Museum of that building, (the first, we believe, of the winter series,) and the subject being one of no small interest to all classes of the community, more especially, the mechanics—the assemblage was numerous,and the proceedings of the occasion emi nently instructive. The subject of conversational discussion was the advantages of the introduction of the Croton water into our city ; whether in its influence upon bodily disease—upon manufactures —produced by the operation of steam in relieving boilers from calcareous concrete—the improvement and economy it has produced in various depart- meats of manufactures, arising from the absence of lime and magnesia, and thereby giving to the Cro. ton water a pre-eminence over every other—even the Schuylkill—of not only producing, but perma- nently furnishing more powers of extractive mut- ter than either the hydrant or cistern could supply. Precisely at 7 o’clock, the chair was occupied by Profesgor Mepes, and J. H. Meigs that of Sep retary. The rules that regulate the interior eco- nomy of this department of the Institute, were read by the Secretary, and their provisions are, that there shall be one President, two Vice Presidents, and one Secretary. The duty of the President consists in presiding over all conversational meetings—the Secretary to recerd facte—no onc to spenh more than fifteen minutes, and a few other regulations, indispensible to the preservation of good order and the advancement of science. - The Presipent proceeded to state the topic of the evening’s discussion, and requested the opinion of any gentleman present, on the subject of Steam asa ‘*solvent.” No person ventured a reply, and the President furnished the answer, by showing that ordinary water contains many impurities. Ex. tract of dyewood, slightly soluble in water, requires 30lbs. of water; concentrate 1,000 gallons oi water, the proportion the lime bears to the extract of the dye would alter the color; Croton water dieeolves less the full saturity. The President here ailuded to the properties of the Croton as regards the ma- nufacture of soap, beer, the concoction oi teas, coffee, &c., and illustrated nis remarks by many scientific evidences of a most convincing, but too protessional a character for the generality of read- ers. The absence of lime in the water employed by the Shakers in their cultivation of plauts, was strongly relied upon by the President, as rendering their production more prolific and fuxariant. In this city, with the aid ot the Croton, the same ad- vantages to vegetation canbe secured, _ The difference of the introduction of the Croton in the baking ot bread, was next proposed by the president, and in the absence of any answer, he responded to the inquiry in a manner that convine- ed the audience of the peculiar properties of the Croton in aiding the process of effervescence. The influence of the Croton on steam-boilers was next proposed as a matter of conversation; but here, also, the president had to answer his own question’ He had three boilers in use for which well water wasused. The location was bad—in Second street. He had to blow the water out once a fort- aight, hammer into the calcareous substance upon the surface, &c., but since the Croton water was introduced nosuch operation was necessary. The dross and filth of the common water caused all the expense and inconvenience. This fact is fully cor- roborated by the evidentimprovement in the speed of the ferry-boats, and even in the ‘‘ Sound” boats =the former supplying themselves trom the New York side, and the latter providing themselves with enfficient Croton to carry them into fresh wa- ter. The president explained the epecific gravity of each ‘ On the effect of the Croton on ‘‘disease,’*the presi- dent remarked,that in many cases it had alleviated several diseases, and in the case of gravel, although not removing the disease, it had considerably mo- derated its influence, and that sinee; the introduc- tion of the Croton ; few, if any new cases, had been presented to the faculty of this character. Mr. Samus, Wieuate, manufacturer of fanc' lamps stated, that in the progress of his art of gild- ing his lamps, he had to introduce a variety ot ar- ucles—cream of tartar, pearl ash, &c., to neutral- ize the effects of cistern water—now he experiences but a trifling inconvenience, which he attributes to the absence ef lime in the Croton. To a question from a visitor, the Presipent re- plied, that a greater degree of heat was meee to boil pure than impure water. Pure water boils at 212; salt water is heavier—the greater heat is necessary according to the specie ceyinf The Croton, in the manulacture of colors in calico, the President recommended, as giving a permanent stability totexture and color. On tanning, the Pre- sident produced many practical and philosophical proofs of the facility aflorded by the use of the Croton. i . ‘ ‘The operation of the Croton in the manufacture of sugar, elicited a luminous and convincing evi, dence of the superiority of the Croton, as employe in the process. He stated that before the introduc. tion of the Croton, molasses sold in Philadelphia for 60 cents, because free from saline excees, while New York only reached 40 cents. The sugar made from impure water became soft and liable to decay. The effect of the Croton on mortar, or its tena- city, was admirably illustrated by the president describing the tenacity of two bricks—the one sa- turated with water and the other placed in dry contact—the one, from possessing alimy character, adhering to the other. f : The President here recommended an investiga- tion of Jennison’s arrangements for the filtering the Croton water. _ Ny > s i Several very interesting, instructive and improv- ing remarks were made by Professor Mapes, upon many subjects, although no: directly connected with the express objects of, it may be said the roli- tary discussi still were of a nature to exhibit his interest and attract the public attention to to- pies of general and social improvement. Order and regalarity d ec the meetings of these us- irants for knowledge—and as one of old snid— ‘Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of the times,” let all who prize free and gratuitous discussion, visit a Society orghi ised for the purest of purposes, and like our- selves return from it enlarged by more than one cubit in our intellectual stature. f This society meet again on Wednesday evening aext, when the aubject of an “Improvement in the QrGtof eh “neys” wilt form the queetion for cone “4 mMuisition. a FY HH City Intelligence. amed Win, ing stranger, fresh from New Brunswick, named Wm.

A New Derinrtiow.—David Martin, a private in Uncle Sam’s army, attached to the seeond regiment of artillery, iss to have wet his uniform in ter Mouse on the Points, by frequent libations. Ha' spent all his small coin, he produced a gold engl requested some gentleman to chunge it. Mr. Wiliam Clark was pregent, and without the slightest hesitation, volunteered to exe- cute the commission, and walked oft with the eagle, evi- dently very well satisfied with its company. Martin waited some time very patiently, but at last became sa- tistied that Mr. Clark hod departed on a forlern hope, but not g'the maneeuvre,be changed his quarters, and marched to the waton Eat (lamp post) where he, o: course, found on the night guardians of the peace— who have so strong a conviction of their duty that the: never do desert their post if they can help’ it, and wit his assistance, succeeded in arresting Mr. Clark, who excused himse. by saying that he did not intend te steal the coin, but merely instruct the soldier in a new defini- tion of the word. The excuse was deemed frivolous, and he was committed to answer. A ’Leven Srnixe,—On Friday last, Mr. Wm.F.

The Pipenatien op posed this plea on the ground that it could not be shown on a plea in abatement, or ona motion to quash the in- dictment, as it was a matter to be produced in evidence on of the cause, when, if it could be proven that the lant was in the State of Ohio at the time the offence alleged to have been committed, he would, of course, be entitled to an acquittal.

Osweao, Nov. 17, 1844. The elements of wind and water are contending for supremacy. The waves and foam at the mouth of vhis little harbor, are now boisterous and angry, lashing the rocks with their unrelenting strokes. On Saturday night, the steamboat Rochester went ashore in a fog, at Four Mile Point, heavy laden; but with the assistance of the steamers Telegraph and Admiral was got off with little damage. Last night (Sunday) a tremendous gale from the north- west threatened much destruction. The dawa of day discovered the brig Horatio Gates, of French Creek, ashore on the rocks, directly under the fort, two-thirds careened, receiving sundry bumps at each successive wave. Her cargo, 1500 bushels of wheat and 1000 barrels of flour. I fear other ters will be reported during the day. The clamor of political warfare has pot ceased yet in thisdirection. Oswego. which has always one 70 or 80 majority for the Whigs, gave but 5. ‘hiv has roused the ire of the discontents against the Catholics, whom, it is aid, were instructed by Bishop Hughes and other dignitaries, to vote the locofoco ticket. Much money has been lost here, the democracy “ bearing their blushing honors thick about them” with a becoming suavity and grace, which contrasts strangely with the wild vo- ciferations of their rabid opponents. I think it a duty of ap imperative nature to warn travellers against the constant impositien practised on the arrival of the curs at Syracuse.
