A very crowded class— embracing pupils of different ages, varying from blooming nineteen, through the “sear and yellow leat,” down to the ‘‘slippered pantaloon” were in attendance, and seemed quite fascinated with the opening address of Dr. Ganpyer. He commenced on the subject of Personal Movements. Silas Wright, Governor elect of New York, has re turned home, after his visit to Mr. Van Buren. ‘The following persons have been appointed by the President Marshals of the United States: Isaac O Barnes, for Massachusetts; Andrew 8.

So fertile in novelties is a plant, that every branch of inductive science is interested in in- vestigating iis symmetry, its functions, and its forces.

The Charleston Mercury, the special supporter of Mr. Polk and Mr. Calhoun, calls Mr. Benton ‘the purblind termagant of Missouri,'who has fraternized with the old scold of Braintree.” Mr, Rothe, a Saxon ininer, gives it as his opinion that the gold mines of North Carolina are equal to any in Europe or Brazil. Ten millions ot bullion have already been obtained from the North Carolina mines. A negro cant one lump of ore at Reid’s mine which was worth fibrine. He submits to critical research the gases of the incerior, the contents of ccllules and the perfume ot flow- ers. The mineral constituents and the food of plonts are interesting topics of inquiry. Whether the air {veda them or the soil? And after ti oy have passed through their existence, what changes fall upon their remains To him, the green moss is as noble as the oak—nay, nobler, for he discovers that a simple tissue is endowed with functions as important, preperties as recondite as the moat aspiring forest tree, or the brightest gem of Flora, The farmer must confine his siudies to this department. The natural philosopher examines the force with which sap ascends to the summit of the tallest piner. He measures- ita intensity and studies the causes which produce it, us- sociates capillary force and electrical affiuity with vege- tation. Investigates the pereolation 0! fluids into cellules, and the origin of movements in the latex. The suubeam is to him a magazine ef power;he discriminates with nicety between the ray which produces the green color, which purples the autumnal fruit, or touches with a slight blush the early peach—and that which, exerting an amorous solic tation, bends the young flower stem to itsembrace. To him, vegetation is the resultant of ethe- rial forces, the imbodiment of imponderable actions. The ceaseless wavelets of the sunbeam, unseen, unfelt by Gur gross senses bi out by their ripples in the air, a living plent,symmetrical in figure,fragrant,end exquisite incolor. You will admire such studies—they present truths immutable and fixed, which take the imagination by storm and put to flight all its conceptions. ‘The bright- eat creations of fancy pale away before the light of truths suchas these. The calm air,awakening sublime emo- tions from its limitless extent, is bursting with life. The eternal pulsations of light eud heat disturb each atom of ite structure, and strike with ing force upon its geses. There too the disembodied forms of pas: exist- ences gather to take on new si apes beneath the moulding ewer of the sun’s rays. To the farmer this stu- 'y should be the recreation of his winter's even- ing, but not the enquiry of his occupation — From all these sources he gathers truths; to oll these laborers in science he is a debtor ; but for his art, for his peculiar department of knowledge they are not enough, they ure not all He must consider not only a plant, but the soil agriculturally. He must cherish a new science, instead of merely gathering hints for other de- partments; the science of agriculture, which in extent is superior to most others in utility to all. It will avail him little to know that all plants produce seeds with one lobe, with two lobes, or with none at all. That the blue ray bends the stem=the yellow greens the leaf—the red pro- duces aumeral tints. That sap rises with a force equiva- lent to a pressure of 45 inches of the barometer ; that grape sugar differs from starch by two atoms of water—if he confines his know! ere. Our enquiries are ofien re- moved from those ot the sister sciences. We would k.ow how to develope and excite to increased luxuriance the useful vegetables ; which drawing food from the soil ex- haust its fertility the most,which the least. By what means the nutritious principles are developed, and how plants, compare with each other justenance for man and ani. mala In what way we may increase the quantity of matter in-the soil serving plants as food. On these subjects other sciences are silent, and it remains for ourselves to search and discover the solutions Ishall, therefore, present you with the agricultural divi- sion of the vegetable kingdom. ‘here are four great classes. Ist. Natural plants raised on the farm. 2d. Plants which have been changed by cultivation—Cerelia. 3d. Weeds, 4th. Parasitic vegetables—Smut, rust. You may consider this an arbitrary division, but it is the re- sult of much study, and ramifies in its consequences through every operation of the farm. The learned Professor atter dilating at length en the va- rious “ families” of weeds, plants, and vegetables in the “vegetable kingdom,” concluded a most interesting lee- ture, which gave much satisfaction. The lectures will be repeated twice a week. ‘The Raleigh (N.C.) Register announces the death of Jobn L. Foreman, Senator in the State Legislature of North Carolina, from the county of Pitt.

The President elect, the papers say, will leave Ten- nest ee immediately alter New Year's ; will travel through Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania, to Philadelphia. He will probably stay there (with Mr. Dallas,) until it is time to go to Washington for his inauguration. Reuben M. Whitney was sworn into office, on Satur day, as the Recorder of the Land Office, at Washington. It is now said that there is no foundation whatever, fot the rumor that Mr. Bayard declines a reelection to the Senate of the United States.

[Correspondence of the Herald.} Wasuineton, D. C., Dec. 2, 1844. Apology for Captain Newton--Mighty Difference between Negligence and Neglect of Duty. I take the liberty to address you for the purpose and with the hope of correcting an erroneous im- pression which a remark made by your corres- pondent of Nov. 29:h is calculated to produce. In a letter of that date he says, with reference to the the case of Captain Newton, “It plats 8 not known to these writers that the Court Martial found him guilty of all the charges alleged against him, and still the sentence was suspension but for two years only ;” and he further goes on to say that there “ was sad neglect of duty made fully evident in this investigation.” Now, sir, whatever may have been the object of the writer, the effect of his letter is really injurious, and to one whose conduct on the occasion alluded to, so far as the world have judged, was and is without reproach. Capt. Newton had but one charge preferred against him, and that charge was negligence. A term as com- prehensive as the element upon which his vessel floated. It might mean any thing, every thing, or nothing. 5 On this charge he was found guilty, and that the charge of itselt was of a light and trifling charac- ter is apparent from its very wording. Had it been acharge for ‘neglect of duty,” the case would atonce have been so serious as to lead the public to the conclusion that he had greatly erred. But as no such charge, nor one of a suictly military character was preterred at all, 1 beg leave to ask you, in common justice, to give this statement an insertion, that the wrong already inflicted may be as partial as possible in its effects. Cincinnatus si 5 (Correspondence of the Herald.) Ricumonp, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 1844. The Court of Oyer and Terminer now sitting here, is still struggling away at the labor of getting ajury. Ithas been along and irksome underta- king;and soslowly diu it proceed at the commence- ment, that a large number, well informed on the matter, concluded that no jury could be procured. However probable this conjecture seemed, it is since yesterday morning untenable; for at that date no less than eleven out of twelve jurors were empannelled. To add the twelfth to the number new levies have been summoned at no slight per- sonal trouble to the officers engaged in that ser- vice, for there 18a strong aversion prevailing all over the Island against being one of the jury,and every ingenious method is taken to keep out of the war. Indeed, this is not to be wondered at,for from every appearance, the hecho on the trial will continue a couple of weeke—a formidable period, to be subjected to the discipline and restraints put upon the twelve. Yesterday and to-day have been spent in getting the last juror; but from all the ob- stacles and delays which present themselves, one is inclined to disbelieve the proverb—‘‘that the first step is the great difficulty”—so, judging from present proceedings, itis not too much to say, in regard to the pending case here, that the last step is the most difficult. or i ‘The Court is now in recess, awaiting the arrival of the jurors summoned, and will si: at 3 o’clock to.day. There remain but three out of the prison- er’stwenty peremptory challenges,so that by obtain- ing four ‘‘good men and true,” the jury is procured, the Sheriff saved a whole mountain of trouble,and opposing counsel charged with eloquence for the opening address and reply. Should the trial com- mence this evening, there will be an accurate re- port forwarded by the first conveyance, but if it does not, there will be nothing worthy of commu- nicating for another day.

The gentle warbler herself had thrown off something of her reserve and fearfulness of manner before the public, and gave her auditory new evidence of her powers both instrumentally and vocally. She executes admirably on the piano, and sings our own English with great correctness and inimitel ble naivete, especially when this latter faculty is brought te bear upon that arch composition ‘I'd be no submissive wife.” Ole Bull was electrical upon his royal instrument, and elicited an applause which was both hearty and spon- taneous. Madame Arnoult was complimented in like manner and the whole entertainment was received with pleasure end true approbation.

Tne Fine Arts.—Yesterday I looked in at 285 Broadway, to see what the well known artist,Mon- sieur Edouart had bronght back from his four years’ tour through the United States. His collec- tion is, really, highly interesting and valuable, con- taining the likenesses of 25,000 Americans, and 125,000 Europeans, with the el of each Among them are a large number of the celebrated of the world, royal, military, literary, scientific and artistic. a 4 One could hardly imagine that shadow likenesses could be so accurate, and so full of character and expression. The husband and wife quarrelling, the chess-players, John telling his story to Mary the cook, &c seem absolutely alive—he has like- wise imitations of animals, which are admirably perfect. : fs Few men have been personally acquainted with so many distinguished characters, on both sides of the Atlantic, as Monsieur Edouart. Of these he has taken likenesses in their own homes, in char- acteristic attitudes and employments, and has re- ecived from them flattering testimonials of appro- bation in various forms. The Emperor of Austria presented him with a gold snuff box, set with rich Jewels; and Charles 10ch gave him a valuable diamond ring, He will depart for Europe soon ; and those who wish to see this highly interesting exhibition, or have likenesses taken by nis talented hand, willdo well to take early opportunity to call. Admission is tree at all hours.

Formerly, the consent of the Crown to the choice of the House of Assembly, was here, asin land, necessary, before the gentleman chosen could assume the chair ofthe House; but by the Act of Union, it would appear that the absolute choice now rests with “ the faithful commons,” and that the Sovereign no longer possesses the power of objecting to their decision.
