(The witness here read a letter from the Sec- retary of the Navy, ordering witness to repair to Wash- ington and report’ himself to this court, for the purpose of testifying in the pending trial of Captain Wilkes, commander of the Inte Exploring Expedition. } Mr. Brapury here stated, that the order just read, was transmitted to witness at the instance of Mr. B., who had addressed a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, request- oe him to have the witness brought forward. y Mr. Brapiey,—It is customary on going into port, to get fresh vegetables for the crew; I think taro might have done mixed with other food; taro formed a of the food of the crew while we lay at the island; 1 have no recollection of the specific disease complained of by these men; seldom as possible visited the Peacock at Oahu; the rains are frequent at that island, as they are in all mountain regions, near the sea; I scarce ever rode out ja the afternoon, without being caught ina shower; ‘no, never said it did not rain at Honolulu; it rains ntly there, By Mr. May.—The taro is not as good as bread or toes; it has less farinaceous matter, and more muc: and extran matter; cannot say, from observation, whether natives eat putrid fish, but I can tell what they themselves have said to me. (Mr. Bradley objected. Don’t know whether prisoners could have been confine: in the Peacock; I was mostly resident on shore; | know that prisoners have been confined in both vessels. By Mr. Brapixy.—Cannot say much of the hold of a ship, never having taken particular observation ; 1 should think it was more comfortable than the fort; if the hold were broken. ups there would be more room; it might have been possible that the prisonors would be more comfortable in the fort than in the hold of the ship, but I can scarcely concede it; the hold can be well ven- tilated by opening the hatchways and letting a sheet down, a8 is often done. [Witness was here dischi 1d.) Mr. May objected to the evidence sought to be intro- duced by the counsel for the defendant, from the log hook of the Peacock, at this stage of the proceedings, as it would only open new issues, and protract the case. He objected, too, because the log book had been kept at the house of the defendant. Subsequently, with a con- dition attached, the counsel for the plaintifis assented to the introduction of the evidence from said log. The residue of the day was taken up by the two attor- nies, in the discyssion of the case before the court, the various issues ee the evidence given, points of law, constructions of authorities, citations of precedents, &c., sought to be introduced, upon instructions asked by the counsel of the court to be given to the jury. At near five o'clock, the court adjourned. Wrowrapay, April 80, 1845. Mr, Brapvey addressed the Court in exposition of the laws of the Navy, and their application to the case of the itifts—the liabilities of the plaintifts under said regu- lations (though epost facto) te the defendent, snd the consequent justification of defendant in his efforts to coerce plaintiffs into duty. Mr. May now proposed to admit the evidence of the log book of the Peacock, if his learned adversary in this cause would concede, to him the prey of Mr. Walker, Ist Lieutenant of the Peacock. Mr. Bradley sented with the understanding that the Poe of Mr. Walker should be confined to the Peacock. Mr. Bradley then read various memoranda from said log book, of the transfer of prisoners between ships Peacock and Vincen- nm from time to time, during the sittings of certain urt martials; also, showing various repairs of the Pea- k, which would incapacitate her from ttl pri- soners—Mr. May having contended that defendant,if the Vincennes were really unfitted to hold prisoners secure- ly, shonld have transferred them to the Peacock, rather than to this ca fort under foreign jurisdiction,to which they were detofled. Mr. Warxen testified that the Poncock underwent ex- tensive repairs ot Honolulu, such as bolting, cleaning, caulking, &c.; think it probable we swept ont the hold; did not broak It up entirely; wo subsisted upon yams and such things ot these islands to 9. great extent. Cross-eramine?—T shonld think there could be no diff. culty about the eapaeity of the ship to confine prisoners securely; think that five, or fifty and five marines might have been confined on hoard ifnecessary; I nover under stood that the prisoners were sent on shore because we could not toke care of them; do not know that there was be disaflection; have no recollection of Riley using in- sulting and mutinous Janguage on the Peacock; don’t re- collect of marines of that ship refusing to do duty, Mr. Brap here asked about the necessity of ma- rines, but Mr. May objected, and witness was re! a. ‘The testimony, the law, the authorities, beariny upon the case, and the instructions to be submitted to the jury by the Court, were debated till four o’clock, when the Court adjourned, (To be Continued.)

After the minutes were read, and slightly altered, at the suggestion of several members, Dr. Jackson arose to thank the Society warmly for the unexpected honor conferred upon him the day before, in his election to the office of President tor the ensuing year; and to assure them that, if Providence pebuied, he would be at his post, and use all his etforts to promote the harmony and pros- perity of the Society. ; F. ERS moved that a committee should be appointed to petition the Legislature on the sub- ject of the distributions of the report of the Geolo- ae Survey. The motion was adopted, and Profs. gers Silliman, and Dr. Jackson, were nomi- as the committee. Mz. J. D. Dana rose on behalf of the committee appointed to revise the scientific nomenclature, as detined by the rules of the British . Association They suggested their propnsed alterations in the fol- lowing report, which, upon motion, it was resolved to submit to the three scientific ieties of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, for their approval, or such amendments as they might think proper to suggest. a LAW OF PRIORITY-WITH ITSLAMITATIONS. — Che name priainal given to a group, or species, by its founder, rs be retained, to the exclusion of all subsequent synonymes. s ‘The systematic nomenclature having originated with Linneus, this last law is not to extend to the writings of. antecedent authors. In the progress of science, it often becomes ne- cegsury to restrict or extend the characteristics of a epee) subdivide it into several genera. ‘The following principles bearing upon the above law, should be adopted in making such changes. _ A. When several smaller genera are united in one, the name of the earliest, if otherwise unob- eqtippable; should be selected as the name of the whole Ip. B.—When a genus is subdivided, the original generic name should not be cancelled, but should be retained for that portion of it which was considered typical by the author; or ifthe evidence as to the original type is not clear and indisputable, it may be given to any portion, and their given name should be ever afterwards retaine C.—When a generic name has a synonyme exact equivalent to it in its original application, in maki subdivision of the genus, this synonyme should not adopted for either of the new genera formed, except when its type, as Inid down by its author, belonged ‘0 a different section of the genus from that of the other nam: and both these sections are elevated to genera. For i stance, the’genus “Monaulus” of Viellot, (1816,) is a precise equi mt to of Temmenck, (1813,) both authors having adopted the same species as their type y and therefore, when the latter genus came, in the course of time, to be divided into two, it was incorrect to give the condemned name, “Monaulus,” to one of the por- eaatdalien name “ og cent —_ 4 ee, ” were o synonyms, but their respective types were taken tren iffevent sections of the group, and conse- quently, in raising these two sections to genera, their names are retained for the groups. There are other limitations of the law of priority, aris- ing from the violation of the rules of propriety in the in- troduction of terms. They are as follow : A.—Names given to 5] § Or groups unaccompanied by Published descriptions, should yield place to the ear- st name accompanying such description. It has been customary for some naturalists to give names to species in their cabinets, or in a published cata- logue, and on this ground to claim authority for such names. This is not allowable—neither is it sufficient that the description appear in a public news; ir, or ina journal not widely known for its scientific eter. A name of a species already in use for another apecies of the same genus, should be changed; also, a generic name in Zoology before employed for a genus in the same kingdom should be cl |, and the same in the botanical . A name glaringly opposed in its signification to the essential characteristics of a specics or group, and likely to propagate important errors should be Such terms as Capremulgus, Paradisia apoda and monoculers have acquired sufficient currency no longer to cause error, andare therefore retained without inconvenience.Names derived from localities where the specimens are found to have wider limits, should still be retained. But when we find a Batrachian reptile named in violation of its true affinities Mastodon saurus, or when a name is derived from an accidental monstrosity, as in Picus Semirostes of Linawus, and Helix disjuncta. Te! name should be substituted This nton, another lege should be allowed only in extreme cases, When the name of a species is af.erwards made the aame of a genus, including that species, anew specific name should be given. The generic name, Pyrrhocoraz, was called by Lina- wu ‘Yrrhocorax. It, therefore, became necessary to change the specific name, and .4lpinus was substituted.— bate fps ie elevat specific names to generic,is a o1 Objected to in one of the sections below. AWS WITH REGARD TO ORTHOGRAPHY. In writing ‘stematic names, the rules of Latin orthography should be adhered to, except in words deri from proper names in which only the termination should Latinized. Proper names of individuals would often become unintelligible if modified so as to conform throughout Latin or- thography. We should not recognize Knighti, Wood wardi, in the words Cnichti, Vudvardi. But words of bar- varous origin, having no fixed orthography, are more pli able, and hence, when adopted into the Latin, should be rendered as classical in appearance as is consistent with the preservation of the original sound. In Repeats 3 two Greek words, the first of the two should have the form of the genitive case, dropping only the terminal consonant. In compounding two Latin words, the same rule should be followed, except that i should be substituted when the genitive ends in @. Pennaform®™ should be Penni- formis. Words of different languages must never be compound- ed together. Specific names, derived froma locality, should termi- nate in ensis. Specific names derived from names of persons, when in honor of the discover, should end in the genitive i or ii; but when in compliment to a person not a discoverer, the adjective should end in anu: Prof. Roarns condemned the use of unnecessary names, above all, of complimentary names. Jt was a fault to which naturalists were very prone to give the names of their friends to new species, and he hoped the committee would recommend in their report the abolition of this in- sumbrance to science. Prof. Haupeman observed that in the report of the Bri- tish Association which was Ayoahe J circulated, thé be this description should small letter ; now this re- gested that unmeaning names of inted commencing with alation he was in favor of as an effectual remedyagainst the bestowal of such names by naturalists—who would not consider it any Eset compliment to their friends to have their names iced in a position of studied obscuri- ty. His (Prof. H.’s) name had been given to several small animals. (Laughter.) But he expected to see it redeem- ed from the, (by no means illustrious,) association by the use of the small letter. Mr. Wuevrvey was always of opinion that science pu- rified itself; and no matter what names were given, if they did not possess a meaning, they would not last fifty years. The evil discussed would correct itself. rof, Rocas moved that the report should be recom- mitted with the recommendation that the committee should adopt in the report the of the British Bsso- ciation in regard to the small letter. Adopted. The Secretary read a letter from Lieut. Johnson, dated Fort Washita, Choctaw Nation, containing a few remarks on the Geology of the vicinity of that station. Professor Hatt then occupted the association for a brief riod on the fossils of the seiageted altered slates and imestones of eastern New Yor! ‘The Sec next made some remarks on some of the metallic ores of Mine La Motte, in M: ri, and followed them by reading a letter from Dr Dickson, of Natchez, dated April 19, 1845, on the Natchez bluffs, with some mention of a nondescript animal of the class Mammalia, found near Natchez; 2, Notes on Nachoz Blufty, by C.

Professor Roars moved the following resolution: — Resolved, That n Committee be appointed with instrne- tions to inquire into the quostion of the geological age of the Zengledon, and to report at the next annnal mecting of the association. Adopted. Professor Baitny rei 5 Papet on some of the fossil co- niferous trees of the United States. Mr. M. D. Witrrete, stated somo new views on geology, which received very little of the attention of the audience. As far as we could apprehend his theory, he considored the crust of the carth at one period to be in the form of a paste, and the mountains were protruded by the action of some mechanical power; fire, he considered a mechanical wer, and the process he alluded to was illustrated by ¢ effect produced by pressure on a red hot mass of iron. He asked the society to show any good reason against his positions, and was, he said, anxious for discussion; but whether they took up the question or not, he had in a work which would shortly appear. He nread from a slip of paper the following tus of a new work on Geological Subjects, en- titled “Paste Theory,” by M. D. Whipple, containing the following, among other articles 1. The luction of Uniform Materials, such as the purer sands and clays, directly from metal matter. 2. Of Loose Roun Materials, directly from pasty matter, aided by agitation. | 3. Slaty Structure produced by Lamination, while the | rock was in a pasty state, | 4. Joints made by ting of the Rock. 6, Agency of Mechanical Action, in separating and mix- ing peculiar compounds. | 6. Origin of Trap Dykes—some roeks more fusible than | others, | 7. Lamination frequently causes the | a iy inclined Dip in 8. Grooves in Rock, made while in a pasty state. 9.

LigMAN, J., proposed the following resolution ; Price Two Cents. Resolved, That Dr. Dickerson, of Natchez, and Col. B, | C. L. Waites, of Jacksou, Miss.,be a committee to report on the Geology of the vicinity of Natchez, and especial- ly on the deposites furnishing the remains of the Base- | losorus or Tygodon—the mastodon remains of Nachez Bluffs, and the curious nondescriptanimal mentioned by Dr. Dickson in the communication already made to the Association. ‘The meeting here arose for dinner. \ AFTERNOON Srasion, | The Secretary, B. Siutiman, Jr., addressed the Society on the remains of the cedar and expres forests found in the alluvial deposits or bi of Mississippi,and conclu- ded with a motion that Prot ir Carpenter, of Missi Pi, should be requested to report to the Societ: next session, on the alluvial deposits of Mi i general. Adopted. ' Professor Stutiman arose for the Purpose of again al luding to the expected visit of that cele! and geologist, Professor Agassiz, of Switzerland; he wi coming to this country for purpose of study- ing its geology, &c., and as it was not improbable that | members of the association might have it in their power to facilitate his enquiries,he could not let the opportunity slip of bespeaking for him the ready co-operation of American men of science, as it was due, not only tothe cause, but to himself (Professor A.) personally. @ Secretary then read a paper written by Professor Samuel Webber, on certain forms of attraction. It was an elaborate and abstruse treatise, ontering closely into the doctrine of chrystalization, aflinity, kc. He says, ac- cording to Ehrenberg’s statement,that chalk is composed of the remains of minute animalcula; and knowing that other animalcula have their hard part composed of silix,it seems not impropablg that the flints found in the clalk are merely the pie ofthe last, as the chaligitself is of the former kind; and that both sorts vere together in the water, the siliceous skeletons collected together in masses under the influence of the attraction of similarity. In this view 1 am sustained by a new work called “Ves- tiges of Creation.” If this be admitted to be the case, might not the acarus crassii be merely the developement of ova, which at or near maturity, were enveloped in the remains of their progenitors, and retained sufficient vi- tality in despite of all the hard trials to which they were subjected, to be called at last into life under the po- ent influence of the voltaic battery. ‘The concluding paragraph of Mr. Webber's paper pre- sents a brief summary of his views, thus :— ‘What is this attraction, that has been treated of, and of | which I have spoken as homonegeous attraction? Is it anything but a gencral law by which the particles that | constitute a solid of a uniform nature, are brought and | held together and of which the law of cohesion andchrys | talization are but modifications or states, itself being part ofa more ienece Jaw of the universal attraction of mat- ter for itself, which more general law has its modification | of cohesion and union among particles not heteregoneous. | Is it but an imperfect action of the attraction of polarity exerted over sensible distances, Dein ing nerticies into cohesion, at any rate acting more powerfully upon parti- cles of the same kind, and disposing them to unite with each other, in preference, to foreign particles, and when fall, fect and unimpeded in its action, to unite in certain rforms? Oris it, as some imagine, without treat- of it fully, butakind of chemical attraction or affi- nity? These quostions cannot now be anawered satisfac- 5 m ily, but it may be conjectured that the law of polarity, ming thereby some great power like electricity, if not electricity itself, seems to me the most probable, ‘and It may be that such is the great law of all attracti kinds, and of gravitation itself—a power of univers: tent and plasticity, deriving its apparently discrepant and diversified action from the circumstances under which it acts, and by the permutation and combination of but a few comparatively simple and general principles. Dr. Jacxson doubted the orthodoxy of the work quoted by Mr. Webber, entitled “vestiges of Creation.” [t was quite true that by pouring sulphuric acid on certain ve certain vegetable substances anamalcule were produ ced, but as to the use of silicate of potash, as spoken of in ae sok, he had tested it and found no animalcule were forme: Prof. Ocmstep, in alluding to the supposed discharge of gelatinous matter from meteors, wondered how such an absurd notion became prevalent. After the great me- teoric shower of 1833, Prof. Twining resolved to trace to their sources all these reports, and the result of his la bors was a conviction of their entire fallacy. But he rose more particularly for the purpose of enquiring if rny member present was izantof any case of gelatinous matter being dit from meteors. [No reply.} Prof. Rocrns observed that he could not dissent from the remarks made as to the production of animalcule ; the subject of ration was one of great importance, but yet in great spscurity, and he desired to sce it taken up again by this Sbciety. ' As to the erroneous snd ape culative views advanced in that celebrated work, “ Ves- s of Creation,” they were far overbalanced by the sublime and glorious views it unfolded of creation. Professor Haupeman thought they should not con- demn the ai of ‘‘Vestiges of Creation,” for adoptii the course wed by orthodox writers; that is, of ning 01 s that were not entirely and unani- by scientificmen. There was as much as the of and the doctrine of ‘and puzi wled the strongest minds of every age. Professor Sittiman cited the authority of Dr. Mantell, of Philadelphia, now in London, against the book,which, although evidently the production of a powerful, en- quiring, but not practical writer, was of a dangerous and irreligious tendency. The Presipent here announced that the regular busi- ness was finished, and inquired if members had any addi- tional business to offer before they adjourned. Mr. J. D. Daxa again brought up the revised report of the committee on nomenclature, which was adopted. @n motion of Professor Sintiman, it was resolved to publish 500 copies of the report for circulation in the manner best calculated to forward the views it em- braced. On motion of Professor Rocexs, it was resolved that the Secretary be instructed to prepare minutes of the Society's proceedings, and to that end obtain from mem- bers abstracts of papers read by them, and that 500 co- pies of said proceedings be published ‘at the expense of the association. It was also resolved that the remaining volumes of the transactions of the Society be placed on sale for the bene- fit of the Society, Mr. Repriecp moved that the local committee appoint- ed to make arrangements for the next session at New York, have power to invite such persons as they thought desirable to attend their session. The General Commtttee reported the annexed list of new members,which was Reyes el Dr. John H. Kane, New Haven; Dr. M. W. Dickison, Natchez; Colonel Waites, Washington, Dy Daniels, Savannah; Dr. W. Alvord, Greenfield, Mass.; Wm. , sq. of the Geological Sur vey, Canada; Sir Charl mneycastle, Canada; Nathl. T.’True, Mon erga Me.; Richard Bolton, Miss.; D. Olmsted, jr. New javen. A vote of thanks then passed to the Governor of Yale College for the use of the lecture room, and also to My Secretary and his assistant, for their valuable ser- vices. Prof. Suerar rose, and alluded to some remarks of his made the day before, as to the identity of the specimens produced from Alabama, by Dr. Kane, and the ES bed of Carelina ; he added that by experiment, he found the latter to contain from 6 to 8, or even 9 per cent of lime. Dr. Jackson observed, that when ei ed in the geo- logical survey of Vermont, he found beds of marl that yielded three per cent of lime. He could not help here Aaverting to the singularity of the fact, that, while the English were honoring Dr. Justus Liebeg, for his dis- covery of the relation between the phosphates and vege- tables, they had in their own Janguage a work in which the whole subject was treated of in a masterly manner. This volume was written in 1695 by the Earl of Dundon- ald ; and it not only treated of the action of Ehogaay, but of alljwalts, as well as the alkalies; in that great work, which was forgotten only the age, the author was assi Priestly ‘and Cavendish, simple constituent elements of air, the latter of water. Prof. Rocens report behalf of the committee ap- pointed to make certain amendments im the constitution, that they recommended the changing of the name of the sosiety to “ the socict y for the promotion of science,” that their secretary should be permanently appointed, like that of the British Associttion, and that members, on admission, should pay a fee of two dollars each ; it also Suggested that chemistry should be added to their ficld of inquiry. ron, Boorn thought it would be better to wait a little before acting on that report. He had no doubt that the changes contemplated could bo ultimately found practi enble; but although the British Association was worthy of imitation in the wide field they took for their enqui- ries, it could not be overlooked that their monns wore | incomporably greater; they had g ealth, which ena- bled them to conduct gigantic enquiries. There wos a danger in forming thoir association on too grand a scale ; it would be better to build slowly ond ens and he fonred it would be found to be growing too rapidly if tho proposition tnder consideration wore immediately acted upon. Chemistry was a dopartmont frmiliar to mony mombrrs of the society, and therefore might be taken up, and certainly it was one of the most important, as somo of the other branches dopended upon it for their fundamen- tal principles, Prof, O.astep would like to throw in a word for natu ral philosophy. Sir John Horschell had shown most con- | clusively the connection between these departments 0 science, and ho desired to see Astronomy receiving the attention of the society, if they decided on adopting Che- mistry or other branches. Professor S1z11M4%, as one of the committee recommen- ding the changes, thought that their adoption would be in, advance o! no symptoms of an over rapid rowth. ‘They had now one on gradually and s' ily for six years, it was time to open their society to all communications. In the meantime, the report might stand over to next meeting, when they could be discussed at more length. Capt. Witxes, U, 8. N., was be srt that the propos- ed alterations were judicious ; if adopted, iy men now | excluded, and who Were anxious to join them, could do so. The researches of men in every branch of science made such persons interesting to each other; this he found to be the case in the course of the Exploriag Ex- pedition, where the gent! of the different depart- ments made thomselves reciprocally sources of interest to each other, and the same result would be found in re- ard to this society. No harm could come of extending their enquirie: id it would be certain to widen the so- ciety beyond its present limits, and it would be stretching out the hand of good-will to those scientific brethren who wished to join them, ‘The discussion here dropped, the report lying over for future consideration. | It was then resolved, that authors who had presented | papers to this meeting, have power to publish them in | any vehicle they think proper. | enor Sri omar Tone, and in a few brief remarks re- | Viewed the session that was now about coming toa close.

A vote. of thanks was then passed to the inhabitants of New Haven, for their kindness and attention to the society, and it was declared adjourned, to meet again in New York in September, 1846, New York Historical Society. The regular monthly meeting of the New York Historical; Society was held at its rooms, in the University, on Tuesday evening last. There was a full attendance, as a discussion on the report of the committee to give a name to the country was antici- pated. After some routine business, inthe course of which a letter was presented from Henry O’Reily, Esq., of Albany,a corresponding member,giving an interesting account of hisresearches into the early history of this State, especially in the Indian department ; the order of basineation the report of the committee was taken. up. ; The Secrerary announced that a variety of com- munications had been received, from societies and from distinguished individuals, expressing their opinion on the proposed change of the national name. Amongst those letters were communications from the Historical Societies of New Hampshire, Massa- chusetts, Maryland, and New Jersey, all respectfully proposing the consideration of the question. Letters were also read from Chancellor Kent, and M. Van Buren. The former dissented point blank from the view of the Committee, and the ex-Presi- dent, with characteristic caution, declared that ‘in present, circumstances,” he was rather inclined to entertain the belief, that, perhaps it was,after all, not inexpedient to defer making Say ch . ; It was then announced that the Rey. Mr. Gris- | wold, of Philadelphia, had at last arrived, and a motion was offered that his paver be read, and the order of business suspended for that purpose. Some. desultory discussion followed, and finally the motion prevailed. f Mr. Grisworp then read his paper. The subject was the “Literature of the United States.” The paper was lengthy and rather prosy. Mr, Griswold considered that in all departments, the literature of this country was superior to that of the old world. A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Griswold, and the meeting adjourned. Farmers’ Club—Mechanica’ Institute. ‘Turspay, May 6. Supyect—-Preservation of Animal Food. The subject announced for discussion upon this oceasion, attracted a more than usual assemblage of all interested in the important issue, from the butch- er to the farmer, and from the thrifty housekeeper to the government contractor. The first hour was, as usual, devoted to subjects of a miscellaneous conversational nature, and not without some pecu- liar interest. Mr. Barner, of Massachusetts, was nominated to the chair; and the Recording Secretary, as usual, id ee Meras. on alarming statement was read, of a disease prevailing generally in Europe, amongst black cattle, bearing all the chiarseparacios of the typhus in the human form, and equally fatal in its consequences in the animal creation. A premium has been offered by an agricultural society in Eu- rope, of $300, for the best essay on its symptomatic developments, the best mode of treatment, its con- tagious influences, the pre-disposing cause, and how far it can relate to this climate; as, also, upon the necessity of such precautionary measures as may avert this calamity from our cattle. During the dis- cussion of this, another subject was introduced by Mr. Mzias, by the presentation of 30 grains of wild rice, used by the Otonabee Indians, upon Rice Lake, in Upper Canada, and which was decided to be food only fit for the. tribe that cultivate it. A gen- tleman then reverted to the disease of cattle, and ascrid ed to those coming from the west, Ohio and Illinois par- ticularl, Il the diseases of lungs and liver to which oxen are “heirs to.” Mr. Edwards, from England, gave ahorrifying description of the ravages of this disease in that country, and suggested for that useful class of crea- tion the same precaution that the faculty adopt in all si- milar human visitations, “ white-washing bleeding by the gallon, chloride of lime andcleanliness.” Amember here made an objection to the sweep: imputation cast upon the horned tribe of Ohio by another member, and eloquently repudiated the “ soft achment” from his optical experience in Fulton market. A member said that twenty years ago, all the cattle in the west were afflicted with liver complaints and dyspepsia, which an improved soil has removed. Mr. Meiggs reiterated the caution he once received from an honest butcher, not to purchase any meat but that impressed with the Jew- ish seal. This interesting discussion was here inter- rupted by a motion to publish the letter for the Prize essay on the disease of bulls, which was passed nem. con. Then there was a discussion about the inven- tion of Anastetic Printing, which some Englishman as- sumed as his discovery; while Joseph Dixon, of Taun- ton, ten years ago, claimed the honors due to this impor- tant invention; specimens were produced, as labels of Gillott’s steel pens, which caused a great sensation. After a few heads of corn were handed round, a commu- nication was read from Mr. Mclnster, on the soiling of cattle. He recommends angel wurtzel, sugar beet, ruta baga, tur . The chairmén highly approved of this diet, confirmed by eight years personal experi- ence. He approved of carrots as a substitute for oats for itage of the business, the secretary circulated some ‘‘mammia” of various country’s growth, and Col. Clarke some sun flower seeds of great prolific yirtue, as also a few seeds of marrow squash. Several learned analyses of guano were referred to the olfactories of a select committee. Then came the subject of the day, “ Preservation of Animal Food.” Dr. Lardner and Profes- sor Mapes had both been invited to furnish their expe- rience, but both were absent. A long ‘communication was read, Le petrigere a course of cure, that included molasses, and salt, and pearl ash, and salt petre, as a val- uable remedy. The same author wrote a homily on the preservation of at butter, hogs lard and trout, for Delaware and Catskill, all proving, incontrovertibly, that molasses possesses “antisceptic” properties, that, none but sceptic” could hesitate to believe. Another eed announced, that he ate at wi interestit proceedings, Prot hall, and all eyes (that is, of thore who remained ber hind,) were fixed upon him, for his opinion on the “ ma- teria medica” of salt, which he delivered with his usual philosophy, and no doubt, to the edification of the rem- nant of the agricultural clab who heard him. This inexhaustible subject will be renewed next Tues- day. American Agricultural Association. ‘This influential body met on Monday evening at the Historical Society’s rooms. The Hon. L. Bradish presided. Some choice flowers were ex- hibited. She society also received many dona- tions, amongst others, a quantity of Afriean Guano for the use of the members. ; After the preliminary matters, in which a resolu- tion for the change of the day of meeting to the Ist Wednesday of each month was adopted, the read- ing of papers commenced. ’rof. Loomis gave a very elaborate account of an extensive rain storm, which passed through the United States in 1842, illustrated with a series of aps, showing the condition of the sky, the tem- perature, barometrical altitude, and direction of the wind for the whole country. From this examina- tion, he deduced many important consequences, and concluded hy calling for the interposition of the association, in causing a more profitable series of observations to be made by the academies of the State. Mr. Swary moved a resolution for the purpose of reaching this object, which was unanimously adop- ted by the association. Mr. Srevens, of Buffalo, made an_ interestin; communication on the diseases of cattle, and stated that from personal observation, he had discovered that a large majority of the animals. slaughtered in this city were severely diseased. He suggested the expediency of procuring sanatory regulations from the corporation to correct this state of thin on The pivanio pat exhibited by Mr.'Pell, elicited an interesting discussion, and led to the appoint- ment of a committee to investigate the matter. Dr. Garpner proposed that a liberal premium be offered for a complete series of observations on the potatoe, with a view of discovering the nature and origin of the disease, which has destroyed such large quantities. ; rhe society adjourned to the first Wednesday in June. Irox.—The consumption of iron in the United States, in the crude state, is estimated at $42,000,- 000 per annum, nearly equal to the whole value of raw cotton produced in the United States at present prices. According to Mr. Virlet, France, Sweden, Russia, and all the civilized powers on the continent, only produce about 700,000 tons per annum. The quantity of iron im- ported into the United States, in 1844, was 99,474 tons, valued at $3,484,499. Thomas's Sattinet Factory in Sacarappa vi Maine, was, with its ‘contents, entirel gn ih on Friday afternoon last. Loss $11,000, Fourter Convention, This Convention was held last evening at the Minerva Rooms, Broadway, which, when contrast- | ed with the affair of last year, held at Clinton Hall, | amid all the “pomp and circumstance” attendant upon the fanatical excitement thatprevailed amongst the Fourierites, or Socialists, so-called, who thronged that Hall during the six days of meeting | held in May last, presented a saddened state of de- | generacy amongst the disciples of the distinguished founder of the sect. The place of meeting was se- lected, doubtless, from the classic associations that attach to the celebrated goddess, whose name it bears. Minerva sprang from the brain of Jupiter, fully armed and equipped for war; and Fourierism 8 from the brain, no matter whether of Horace Greeley, or Brisbane, or Park Godwin, or Robert Owen, but, on witnessing the meeting of last even- ing, we were led to excl in the words of the poet— Oh! whata falling off was there.” At eight o’clock, there was a thin attendance, most of whom consisted of fair spectators, whose faces were fami- liar to those who had attended the Bible meeting held at the Tabernacle in the early part of the ay and, we may say, all the anniversaries of the week. Amongst them were a partial sprinkling of the coarser sex, many of whom had evidently attended, more upon the ladies, than through any degree of interest in the ob- jects of the meeting. ‘The meeting was organized by a Mr. L. W. Rycustax, who explained the object of the convention, and took a cursory view of the Fourierite doctrine, and the im- proved condition of Brook Farmns. Ie concluded kis re. marks by calling on the friends of “universal unity,” to come forward and aid them intheir struggles for the universal regeneration of mankind. ah Honacr Grexury next came forward, and after giving a lucid exposition of the origin, doctrine, and designs of Socialism, went on tosay that the experiment at Brook ‘m had been so successful, that it needed nothing to be said in advocacy of th ‘stem, the objects of which em- braced the most en 9d and comprehensive philan- thropy. Mr. G. after o! fering some remarks in advocacy of the general principles of socialism, and calling on their friends to subscribe for its advancement, was fol- lowed b Mr. Bank Gopwix, who travelled over the same round, and went on to say that there was a wide field fr the exercise of the benevolent objects of socialism alone in the city of New York, where there was no less than 10,000! women of ill-fame, as had been ascertained by statistics introduced at several of the present anniver- saries. The ol Sr ea f the age in which we lived, produced such a state of things, and they ought to make every effortto regenerate the condition of unfortunate females of this city.

Duggan— It is not often that € model of such a’high order of merit is presented to the American public; and when we reflect that it is the work of one so young, we caunot withhold the praise our heart prompts us toindulge in. The position enables the artist to exhibit his wonderful knowledge of anatomy to the fullest extent; and although there is probably some exaggera- tion in its muscular developments, we should not cen- sure the artist for a fault, (if it may be called one,) that he has committed in commonjwith all great modellers from Michael Angelo to the best sculp- tors of the Jrenent day. Itis truly a wonderful pro- duction. The only objection we can possibly offer, 1s that Mr D. selects So easant instead of agreeable sub- jects, which is an objection we have perhaps no right to offer. Perhaps he may be induced to try the beau- tiful in some of his future efforts. We hope so, and if he is as cuccessful in that line of excellence as he has already proved himself to be in the terrible, he may look forward toa proud career in the noble world of sculpture. ‘ Within a few days past, a charming bust has been added to the exhibition ; it is the work of an Ame- rican artist at Rome, named H. K. Brown. The bust is done in marble, and chiselled with infinite de- licacy and skill. We have now concluded our remarks. The task has not been an agreeable one, for there ate so many works exhibited that are entirely unworthy, that we were forced in many instances to be se- vere—not, we can assure the exhibitors, with any personal feelings towards them, for, with one or two exceptions, they are entire strangers to us.— Many persons are ‘under the impression that it is doing injustice to the artists to condemn their works; that they should be judged leniently, and praise instead of being cri d, but this is a false notion. Although the remarks of the critic may at first an- noy, yet it will teach reflection, and the faults ed out may, in future works, be avoided. his all we . Letthem, if they have talent, improve from our suggestions ; if they have none, better that they should be ridiculed out of a profession for which they are incompetent, than to be dragging out a painful lifetime in employments that they were never fitted for by nature. Albany. [Correspondence of the Herald.] State Legislature. Avsany, 6th May, 1845. The Senate now meet at 9 o’clock in the morning. Mr. Bockee, chairman of the select committee of eight Senators, to whom was referred the bill for the renewal and extension of the American At- lantic Steam Navigation Company Charter, made a favorable report, and recommended the bill toa third reading. He stated that the object of the company was of great national importance ; that Congress, at its last session, passed an act, which he held in his hand, brought forward and promoted by the company, authorizing the Postmaster Gene- ral to make contracts for carrying the American Foreign Mails in steamships, and that they had re- served to themselves the option of taking the steam ships employed in carrying the Foreign Mails, for the service of the navy incase of war. He consi- dered, therefore, that the charter was necessary to carry out the views of the General Government.— The bill passed with only two negatives and some unimportant amendments, and was returned to the Assembly for their concurrence. ‘The charter is for 24 years, and a capital of two million in $100 shares. May 7th.—-The Steam Bill was referred by the House late yesterday afternoon to the standing com- mittee on trade and manufactures, to report com- plete. This morning, the report was brought in, re- commending the Assembly to concur in the amend- ments of the Senate, which the House agreed to.— The main question was then taken by yeas and nays, and passed unanimously, save one .

'On the cross-examination of this witness, it appeared that after the expiration of two months the defendant vacated the premises, and tho plaintiff in this suit entered into the possession, and let and rented the same to some person connected with the “magnetic telegraph” of Professor Morse. “ The counsel for defendant moved for a non suit, on the ground—first, that the instrument was made by defend- ant and the Messrs.
