New Haven, Ferpay, May 2, 1845. The Association met at ten this morning, and were busied for half an hour with the usual routine business. A few slight alterations being made in the record of the minutes, The Secrerary again suggested to gentlemen who had papers for reading before the Society, that it would prove a matter of great convenience to have them filed, and accompanied with an abstract for the use of the Secretary in making out the minutes. Professor Hircucocx recommended that gentle- men would confine themselves to reading an epitome of their several treatises; they would probably be numerous, and therefore time would scarcely permit their being presented at length to the Society. Dr. Barrarr read a paper entitled “Evidences of Congelation in the Red Sandstone, exhibited by regular triangular and rhombic marks, of great dis- tinctness.” After noticing the bearing of this conge- lation question on the temperature of the earth, at the earlier periods of animal life, and his finding ice in the form of rhombs and triangles, in February, Those procured for the use of the N. E. Survey from apres were not true; although those imported from that country were much better than those made in the United States, whilst the French were still more valua- ble. Then followed a description of a simple contrivance for serving all the purposes sought to be secured by the barometers now in use, and submitted an unfinished specimen of the instrument. It consisted of a glass tube about two inches long and one and a fourth inch in di- ameter; to one end was attached, by a screw, a cylindri- cal receptacle of bell metal to hold the jury, to which again was attached another tube inthe shape of aninverted cove, covered by a leather cover, and through this operated the re of the atmosphere. ‘The Upper portions of the structure were described in detail and were sxsondiiany imple, and probably for that not the less perfect. Dr. J. acknowledged the aid afforded to him in his troublesome experiment to make a barometer to Mr. J. H. Temple, of Boston, whose a te brass work was not to be exceeded in any country. HE. ; 2apen—What will be the cost of these barome- rs Dr, Jacxsox—Sixty dollars—the sum charged for those now in use, and which are worth nothing. Dr. J. ended by advising scientific men to kee instru- ments, as their results were sure and sat astory, whilst bad ones were an endless source of annoyance and er- ror, He was sure that an average of ten measurements of the altitude of a mountain barometrically would be found more accurate than if done trigonometrically. Professor O.mstxp begged to say that the thanks of the Association, and of country, were due tof Dr. J. for the pains taken by him to improve the barometer, and tyfheavy doses of the rascally East wind, but this is mainly avoided by a residence « few miles inland, from whence one can get to business with very little loss of time, and an actual saving as to expense— | house rent and the like. Among the suburban resi- dences that are most sought, are those of Dedham, Newton, &c., about a dozen miles from the city, whence the cars whisk a person into the city,in a hi an hour or less, and at any time of the day. Perhaps you have seen something in the papers lately res; a} Sophia Hunt, a very pretty young lady, lately hauled up to Court in this city,on a charge of passing counterfeit money. It seems that she was rather the dupe of some gay Lothario than an ac- complice in the money business, and under these cir- cumstances the Court gave her a light sentence, such as a small fine, thirt ys imprisonment, &c. But the funniest part of the thing was,that ushing ordered her to give bonds in the sum of $100 to meee | the peace for six months! Thisisadroll idea, an one for which L. S. Cushing, Esq., Judge of the Mu- nicipal Court, deserves a patent. Only think of put- ting a pretty girl under bonds to keep the peace, be- cause she passed counterfeit money! C: is @ new Judge, and not a very bright one at that,and does magees credit to his appointee, Gov. George Nixon riggs. In thefway of theatricals just now, there is not much doing. Mrs. George Barrett is playing a short en- also for instructing an able mechanic in his improvements, who would furnish the country with what was so much wanted—a perfect specimen of this useful instrument. This subject having dropped, the Prrstpent advised the meeting to resume the inquiry on the minerals asso- oie with trap rocks, which had beenalready before em. Professor Roxas first rose tothe question. He did not conceive the possibility of external, waters permeating through the solid bed of rocks ; and where wells and de- posits of waters were found in strata of rocks, he thought it would be found to be of the precise kind, and a portion of those waters in which the particles of the substances were first deposited ; as, for instance, the brine wells found in part of the State of New York, were portions of the ancient ocean, displaced by these deposites. The idea of currents of water from the surface of the earth, or the air, passing into solid stata, he could not at all un- derstand. He did not mean to deny the existence of hy- drous minerals ; that was one mode of segregation ; but there were mineral solutions of igneous as well as aque- ous origin. What he meant was, that where these were found, the water containing them was as old asthe mat- ters they held in solution. Mr. J. D. Daxa explained some views expressed in the 1841, he added, in regard to the sandstone, that the marks were produced by a pressure of lines in cor- responding figures when in a soft state. For a long time he had recorded every appearance of ice, for the purpose of throwing ae ee the past action of congelation in the production of these imprints’ in rocks. Dr. Barrett concluded by inviting gentle- men to accompany him to a Le ee to by him, where certain marks were to seen, in va- rious forms, and which he regarded as decidedly of an icy origin. B, Sittin, Jr., arose to say, that in certain soft argillaceous beds in Pennsylvania he had observed marks such as described by Dr. Barrett, but he did not ascribe it to the same causes, but rather regard- ed it as the effect of causes which act in the forma- tion of such species of rocks. y Mr. Jounsron eee that the rhomboidal struc- ture talked of by Dr. Barrett was entirely distinct from that alluded to by Mr. Silliman. ‘The Parsrvent asked Dr. B. ifhe regarded the triangu- lar di as possessing any thing peculiar; he ob-| Morning in relation to this topic. served he had represented them as of about 60 de- Mr. Steruxn Reep, Dr. Jacxson, and Professor Suer- grees, weno, spoke briefly. The latter expressed his belief that the question on which they were now engaged was like Dr. Bannatt zaplied he took no measurement—he had taken a sketch of them at random. Prof. Suzranp said the measurement was a matter of importance; for his part he was not satisfiod with the ex- planation given of those marks, for at the supposed time of their formation, he thought the temperature of the earth the great one of corpuscular action, full of dificulty., and while he thanked Mr. Dana for bringing up the matter in the form he did, he begged to be excused if he stated some of the obstacles to belief in his views. Professor S. then repeated in detail some incongruities in the reasons m3 lw*re was much higher than was essential to Dr. B.’s hypothe- Lie of these mineral waters in rocks-by AL. sie. others. ~ c.

In immense valleys over this country, in the State of Mississippi, the immense alluvial deposits were proofs of what had been said. He spoke of the ruins of the cypress forests found on the banks of the Mi i. Of the proofs of successive growths on the of the low site of New Orleans, compared leposites, as bearing upon this q' ir dwelling on the bad foundation of New Orleans, he said it was a matter of great importance that they should sink no farther. Professor Rocrnrs was still doubtful of the alleged rise of the New England coast. There might have been pa- roxysmal elevations, but they were not continuous ; and as to the direction of the land at present, he {was com- pletely in the dark. He thought if the matter were pro- perly brought before government, they would take it up. A motion was then carried for the nomination of acom- mittee, whose duty would be to memorialize the Secreta- ry of the Navy, on the questions forming the subject mat- ter of the discussion. In yesterday’s report an abstract to be defrayed by assessment on individual members. ‘On motion to that effect, the assessment, amounting to $3 ahead, was paid down by the members, Professor Siturtax drew the attention of the Society to the first volume of the transactions of the Society which had been just published, and passed a handsome eulogium upon the work, observing—not, he said, that they were constrained to go to Kurope for a proper esti- mation of their own books. both here and abroad it had been eee ties by the ablest men as a volume doing credit to this country. He, therefore, would again commend it, and advise members to not only give it their support, but make an effort to spread its circulation among their friends and the friends of science.

Professor Hitcncoce addressed the Society “ on cer- tain remarkable facts respecting the magnetic polarity of rap rocks.” Dr. Jacuson, Professor Rocrns, and others, made in- quiries as to Professor Hitchcock’s having observed the samo magnetic phenomenon in other rocks, or whether he had ascertained the presence of oxide of iron; his re- plies were in the negative. The Secretary observed that Professor Locke, at their last session, had made some remarks upon the magnetic Ce of these trap rocks upon the va: jon of the needle. Professor Rocrrs added that the whole question was open for discussion, and as it was an exceedingly impor- tant one, he should be glad to see it pursued.

But the present fashion is even more liberal than this, for they not only carry a man for twenty-five cents, but run him on a rock and drown him likewise, without any extra charge. In fact, a trip from Albany to New York, or vice versa, isJabout the cheapest way thata poor devil of a fellow, tired of life, can “ shuffle of this {mortal coil.” It ,would cost him more than two shillings to buy halter, pistol, or poison. The royal mail steamer Hibernia, being now fourteen days out, is hourly expected, and with no slight degree of interest, as her news will probably relate in a considerable degree to the subject of the Oregon and Texas questions, and as these are the Prerailing topics just now, it renders her coming a ighly interesting circumstance. This is the case not only in Boston, but also to a greater degree, if possible, at the South and West. Now let me pro- pound to you one question. Have these Southern and Western or found out the fact that the Herald contains all these matters, generally speak- ing, twenty-four hours before other New York papers? If they dont subscribe to the Herald, why they deserve to be behind those who know their own interests and have good will enough to do so. In your city of cabs and omnibuses, you have not got one vehicle of this class, of a peculiar construc- tion, and which thrives in Boston. I refer to a light cab of about half the usual capacity, insede of which the driver sits at his case, the reins passing out of a small window in the front. There is no outside seat, and these queer little nutshells, with a hole in them, are in great vogne with the physicians here. They shelter the driver and occupant completely from view, and look as they pass rt the streets, like a horse and cab out for a private walk on their own hook. Cant you say a word about the miserable arrange- ment of the starting from your city of the day line for Boston. It purports to be a day tine, yet gets in here all along shore until twelve o’clock midnight. The Boston merchants fe about the matter, and say that the cars should leave Brooklyn as carly as seven o’clock, A. M., instead of 10 o’clock, as at present. This would inake it, in fact, what they pretend that the route is, viz: a day line. “The beautiful Long AFTERNOON SERSION, Hawy-rast 2 O'Crock. The Paxsient stated the subjects prescribed by the business committee for the remainder of the day. Professor Jouxstox offered the following resolution : “Resolved, That committees may be appointed from year in the vicinity of all the principal Northern rivers emptying into the Atlantic Ocean from the territory of the United tates, to make tho necessary measurements and experiments, and to ascertain, at accurately as may be, the amount of scdimentary matter annually carried by them into the ocean.” Professor Dewey thought it would be better to defer tho nomination of the committee till noxt day. Professor Loomis was of opinion@hat it would be more desirable to appoint a committee at once. Professor Oumstrp suggested that the better way would be to appoint a committeo composed of a limited number, with power to add to their number. Professor Jounsrox, at tho suggestion of the Chair, withdrew the motion for the present. Profossor Dewey arose to read a _papor “On the Gyp- sum of the State of New York.” dnkte rocks, he said, occupied a great extent among the upper transition rocks, and in massos of different sizcs, imbedded in the partially chrystalizod, at others so well s to rocks sometimes. as to be beautiful silenite, His Principal object dwell upon the rocks with which it was associate: general opinion was that it occupied a line by whereas tho fact was that it was found in isolated masses in other sorta of rock ; thorefore, n he spoke of gyp- sum, ho did not speak of it as a stratum, although he might do so of the gypsyferous earth, When common people name objects not known to them, they must do so in accordance with some obvious quality, or appear: ance, or association ; 50 Syprum was called ashes.

Social Reform Mceting In Chatham Square. ‘The regular meeting for discussion on this subject, took place yesterday afternoon at the old Franklin ‘Theatre, in Chatham Square, but in consequence of the Infidel Convention being in full operation at the same hour, but a limited number of persons attended, and the discussions that were anticipated were not gone into. However, a Chairman was appointed, Mr. Ssrru by name, and in a few general remarks he ex- plained the object of their Association—the benefits to be derived from their plans, and the great advantages that would accrue to mankind in general, would they enter into the ideas laid down by Mr.,Owen. Hear- | gued that the immense surplus of all kinds of produce, manufactured and otherwise, that is accumulating in consequence of the great increase of labor saving machines, will inevitably lead to a general crash, en- tailing ruin, distress, and misery, on thousands who, even in the present state of affairs, enjoyed a good living. It was a well known fact in political economy, that the greater the produce of any mass of people, the greater the difficulty in the majority of them ob- taining a fair share of their proportion, the product of their labor generally being divided among the few capitalists, whose wealth was thus enormously in- creased, to the detriment of the absolute operative.— ‘To support this argument, he need only point to the condition of the laboring classes of Europe, where, with the immense amount of labor saving machine- ry employed, there exists more want, poverty, and des- titution, than in any country in the world. If, on the other hand, mankind could be persuaded, each individually, to assist with their labor, what a different state of things would exist. Then every one would stand on an equal | footing, and poverty and its attending horrors, would be driven from the world. He went on to state, that a farm in Pennsylvania, containing 800 square acres, had been bought and paid for by this A: tion, and has been in successful operation for two years; on it they erected saw-mills, and various cot! barns, &c. The Society also has contributing branches in Philadelphia, Newark, Paterson, Taunton, Mass., and this day they had received an application from Pitsburgh; their collection altogether . averaged about one hundred dollars per month; they had about $7,500 capital stock subscribed for, of which about $4,000 was pai For fifty dollars a person could se- cure a home for life for himself and pany free from the vicissitudes and cares of the present mode of existence, and this fact alone rendered it an object of consideration for those who even now are above all want, but who might yet, by the revolving wheel of fortune,be reduced to necessity; Mr. Smith excused himself from further, as he merely had taken the chair in the absence of the regular members, who were attending the Infidel Hartford.

Imprimis. There is somewhat more than a con- siderable quantity of building going on, embracing divers mammoth edifices for sacred and secular pur- poses. Among the former is a free stone church for the Unitarians, on the corner of Asylum and Trum- bull streets, which is a great eye-sore to the blue- skins in this region, who are zealously opposed to any body*s going to heaven, except by e same rail- road on which they and their forefathers have been travelling ever since the landing of the liberal and enlightened “ Pi Fathers,” who, so kindly, by fire and water and many other purifiers, (now mis- called persecutions by the wicked and degenerate,) removed the living obstacles which in their day and generation stood in the way of our salvation. De- spite all opposition, however, the Units have gained a firm footing here, and evince an indomitable spiri of go-a-head-ativeness which can’t be beat. ie Universalists, too, are flourishing like a green bay tree, much to the chagrin of the immaculate Congre- gationalists, who labor with an earnestness, worthy a better cause, to check the growing influence of these sects, and to piously prevent the spread of any system or creed but their own. But the opposition rc to Unitarianism, Universalism, or any other ism, isa mere drop in the bucket, in comparison with their rabid virulence towards Catholicism. They unceas- ingly ransack the Greek. ig 45 , Latin, Dutch, Hebrew, French, and I don’t know but the Welsh and Milesian ages, for epithets to express their Convention,and though there was but a small attendance, he still invited any one who was inclined for discussion on the subject, to step foward. ‘After some little delay, Mr. Hurren stepped up to the rostrum, and stated that the great curse of communities was over-production. He would oxemplity this from a fact he had obtained from Mr. R. Owén, viz.: that six years ago the population of Great Britain, mechanical and human, amounted to fifty millions. At that period steam power had not been so extensively appl to machinery as it has since, which we may judge of from the fact, that at this time it is equal, human and me- chanical, to eight hundred millions—and in the same ratio that this increase has taken place has the difficulty of obtaining a livelihood increased. In former days, when this immense overplus was not produced, comforts of life were more plenty and more easily ob- tained than at presont. The human mind has hitherto been altogether directed to the acquisition of wealth, without regard to the proper distribution of the same ; and it is the object of this society to obviate this state of things. ‘The relation of man to his present being must be ascertained, and if the mind is not proper! ted in its efforts, pain and suffering are sure to follow. But the new state of society that was repeees by this asso- ciation, where man’s instinct would directed to the exercise of benevolence and kindness one towards another, would prove ong of the greatest triumphs of modern philantrophy. : Mr. Smuts again addressed the meeting, and went on to show the great results that would from the adoption of this plan ; he argued that the great source of crime in communities consisted in the great individuality of society ; this calling of things mine instead of ours ; if everything was resolved into a public stock, instead of private, all the inducements to crime would be done away with, as they all more or less arosé from quality of ‘distribution. Crime being done away with, all the expensive machinery of courts, lawyers, con- stables and such non-producing classes ‘would also be dispensed with ; and the mass of mankind, being e- moved from the fear of want and poverty, would quickly develope the natural intelligence which is inherent in mankind. This system is entirely different from the one recommended by Fourier. In his plan capital is placed to take advantage of labor ; money is there the object, and not as in this case the elevation of human nature. In Fourier’s scheme, a person purchasing a sufficient number o! ares could live without labor on the inter- ext of his capital, but in this scheme, all would be placed ona perfect equality. Here the speaker came to a pause, and as no one ap- peared to wish to discuss his peculiar doctrines, he moved an adjournment, which was unanimously holy horror of this tdolatrous, bigotted, intolerant, ignorant class of fellow-beings—(“* these last words are quotations”)—and lament, with faces as long as bel ae dea boot-jack, that their most strenuous efforts to stay its rapidly increasing and wide spread- ing influence, have any other than the desired effect. But, perhaps, something too much of this. If Sir Robert Peel, and Mrs. Prince Albert, and the Emperor of B: , and his Senorship of Mexico, or any others of that kidney, could be about these diggins next week, they would be cured of their war fever a leetle bit quicker than Davy Hale would cure a mad dog. Next Monday there is to be neral training,” and such a display of bone, s and broomsticks is anticipated,as might well dismay the combined forces of the world, acl Coney Island and Communipaw. Then, too, on. Wednes- day, there is to be an august convocation of the Legis- Jative wisdom of the State, which will probably re- main in session for about two months—in addition to which, there will be a “ grand election military parade,” embracing two companies from New Ha- ven and some others from elsewhere—in addition to which, there will be a “grand civic and military ball” in the evening—in addition to which, there will be a “grand military collation and anniversary supper” at the State House, which has been put in the finest apple pie order by its gentlemanly superin- tendant, Mr. Hurlbut. The firemen will mak. a “grand display” of themselves and apparatus, and everything will be on the “‘ grandest” scale that ima- gination and material can well devise—not forget- ting His Excellency the Governor, who will exhibit himeelf, if fair weather, both on foot and horseback. Many here have a praiseworthy curiosity to see how a Governor eats and drinks, and no doubt they will be amply gratified on this occasion—but whether he will show them how he dances, is yet a mystery concealed by the veil of time. I shall ken an eye on all these momentous move- ments, the legislative wisdom in particular, and duly apprize ye of “ what’s going on.” in a hurry, yours, T. Ticker. P.S. There has been great disappointment at the non-arrival of the “ Temple of the Muses,” which has been anxiously expected in these waters for something like a fortnight. Perhaps it is better as it is—the blueskins being determined that nothing shall be tolerated among them which is at all calcu- lated to “ raise, refine or cultivate the mind.” In my next, Imay give you a sketch of such amusements as they do countenance—they are such queer affairs. o Leaistative SummMary—In Senate, May 3.—Mr. CHAMBERLAIN presented a petition for the relief of the sheriff of Cattaragus County, and introduced a bill, authorizing the Comptroller to advance money, on the principle as the bills in relation to Delaware and Ulster counties. Resolutions of the Common Council of Rochester, in favor of the passage of tho Excise Bill. A remonstrance against a police justice in Kingston. Mr. Johnson reported the bill to’ erect the county o Schuyler, and it was made the special order for Monday. Mr. Wright, a bill to incorporate tho Brooklyn Female Acadomy. Private claims followed, and the entire day was spent on a general bill, providing for damages occa- sioned by letting off water from the canals. On tho uestion of agreeing to the report, tho bill was rejected, The Senate held an oxecutive sossion, also an afternoon session, for the purpose of the third reading of bills. Ix tHe Hovsx—A large number of bills were ordored | to a third reading, among thom the bills explanatory of | the Railroad freight bill—relative to taking the State | Census—the Kingston Mechanics’ Lien Bill—relative to the insane in ing County, &e. ke. Mr. Niven had leave to introduce a bill relative to the H. and D. Canal Company. Mr. L. H. Brown reported favorably on the Senate Bill relative to ferries between New York and Brooklyn—when Mr. Wheeler moved to recommit for a further hearing of the opponents of the bill. After de- bate, which was cut short by the previous question, the House refused to recommit—and on motion of Mr. Wy- ckoff, the bill was ordered to a third reading. Several bills were read a third time and passed. Among them, the bills to incorporate the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance '87, noes 7—-to incorporate the Trusteos 1 Fund of the diocese of New York— relative to the Long Island Railroad Company—to amond the charter of the city of Rochester—ayes 96, noes 0. The bill relative to the New York and New Haven Railroad Company, was read a third time, and on mo- tion of Mr. Morrison, laid on the table. The House then adjourned to nine o’clock on Monday morning. _ Favat Accmpent iN Dorcnesren.—Mr. John Faxon of Quincy, was instantly killed on Friday, forenoon by being thrown from his} wagon.

Fine.—Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in No.7 Roosevelt street, which communicated with house No.9. The facts are these: The flue of the house No. 7, by some unforseen circumstances, took fire, and connect: ed with the hall in the adjoining house, and was bu rapidly; several fire companies were shortly on the spot, who, y cutting away the partition between both houses, and also part of the roof, at once got to the root of the fiery element, which they in a very short time extin- uished. The amount of damage done will not exceed ul sees of $200, We understand the premises are not insured. Police Office=May 4—Arremrt to Strat.—About 3 o'clock this morning, an individual supposed to be Wil- liam Johnson, was detected in the entry of the house of Hugh Gilhooly, of No. 57 Mulberry street ; and as it was supposed he did not come upon any charitable or proper motive, he was taken to the Watch House, from thence to the Police Office, and from thence to the Tombs. A Tarren Has —Richard Ham, « regular bad one, stole from Billy Daly, of Catherine street, a silver watch , for which he was confined at the Police Office. A Coat (wot) of ARMoun.—Smoke Armour and Henry Jones, stole a coat from on board the brig Baltic, the pro perty of Jas, Brown. ‘an! Wan! War !—John Quinn was so inspirited by the reports of the war meetings in Philadelphia, that he kicked up a general row, and when watchmen Rose and Dicks attempted to arrest him, he drew a sword, and en- deavored to run it through them, as it is said, for which breach of the peace he was taken to the Watch House, yesterday fined for disorderly conduct. The busi- ness at the Police was dull. Coroner’s Offic—May 4.—Nothing in this depart. ment to-day.
