This invaluable sheet will contain reports of all the moral, religious, and philosophical societies, num- bering thirty, which have taken place in New York and neighborhood, during the last week. It will be one of the most remarkable literary productions of the age, as showing the march of intellect and the progress ofthe human mind in this country. It will be ready this afternoon—price 6} cents. The Philosophy of the Recent Anniversarie The numerous anniversaries—amounting to about thirty in all—whieh have been held in this city du- ring the week, suggest a great deal of interesting, and not altogether profitless speculation and reflec- tion. They are so many indices of the movements and workings of the popularmingd in religion, morals, civilization and philosophy—annual reports of hu- man progress, which no intelligent and thoughtful observer can allow to pass unstudied. Let us look at them in this aspect. Two thirds of these meetings are of a purely re- ligious and moral character. And one remarkable feature which distinguishes all, is high toned Pro- testantism. A strong and decided sectarianism marks every one of them. The circulation of the Protestant Bible—the dissemination of Protestant tracts—the sending forth of Protestant mission- Tuearricat ax on Monday evening next wi pany. ‘The Theatre has been fitted up on a seale of | the greatest magnificence, and im dimensions is equal tothe “Za Scala,” at Milan. It is a novel j experiment. The cost of fitting up the Garden in the present style has amounted to $10,000. Pico,. | Majocchi, Valtellina, Sanquirico, and Antognini com- mence an undress opera at fifty cents per night. The | preparations made for this novel enterprise have been on a princely scale and deserve the highest ap- probation. The project will be, we are fully inclined toanticipate, eminently successful. Palmo’s Opera House is now in the hands of Dumbolton, after long campaign between Palmo and Dinneford relative to the rent. ‘Wefunderstand, however, that the case will come up before the Su- perior Court, or some other tribunal in this city, when the farce of the “Manager’s Last Kick,” will be performed by the lawyers before the judge and | delighted spectators. In the meantime, Dumbleton is doing very well with his “Serenaders,” or “Min- strels,” or whatever it is he has got. We are sorry for all parties concerned in the late contlict. Poor Palmo has lost money—Dinneford has lost money— Dumbleton has lost money—the public have lost mo- ney—the printers have lost money—the players have lost money—the fiddlers have lost money—no one seems to have made any money but Mr. Tylee, the owner of the ground, into whose hands the whole thing has fallen like aripe peach. So itis an ill wind that blows nobody good. The new Bowery Theatre is making rapid progress in popularity, and in a short time it will form into regular customers two-thirds of the frequenters of the old Bowery Theatre. The ruins on the other side of the street are still untouched. How soon the workmen may visit them we don’t know. In the aries—the support of Protestant colleges—the vindi- cation and propagation of Protestant doctrines,—are the great objects of these associations. The des- truction of Popery is the grand and avowed aim of all their efforts. This is the fa- vorite theme of the orators. The movement of these societies then cannot be strictly regarded as a putting forth of the energies of the Christian world for the evangelization of the nations—it is part and parcel of the great antagonistic effort which the one great sect has been engaged in ever since the Refor- mation. Catholicism meanwhile is not idle. Itis ever active, but its mighty machinery moves silently and without public appeals ‘and public parade. Its thou- sands of missionaries are every where at work. It is planting churches and colleges, and convents, and seminaries all over the continent. Thus with its policy changed and conformed to the spirit of the age, the church of the seven hills still presents its front, massive, extended and unbroken, to the ad- vancing forces of Protestantiem. One third of these associations are philosophical, Fourierite, Abolition, and Infidel. They constitute a most singular and interesting part of this intellec- tual movement. Some of themare directly opposed to Christianity—they denounce all the religious movements as the work of priestcraft and inimical to human liberty and happiness. Others affect to be purely philosophical, announce new theories of so- ciety and seek to regenerate the world by upsetting the present organization of society and substituting the system of Fourier, or Owen, or some other social reformer. ‘The number of persons directly engaged in all these movements is very inconsiderable—much more so than many at first sight would imagine. And very little influence is exerted on the great masses of the people by these associations, notwith- standing all the effort and noise which mark their operations. Probably not more than from five to ten thousand individuals, two thirds of them females, take any direet interest in the religious societies. ‘The clergy—young aspirants for clerical notoriety and preferment—and laymen whose vanity, ambition for display in the only field open to them, and, per- haps, pious feelings, are thus gratified—are the chief conductors of these movements. ‘The great mass of business men—the active members of the community, who control the great tide of social progress—do not take any part in these associations. The infidel and philosophical movements have still fewer supporters. Not more than one thousand individuals—one-third of them females, few of them young and most of them old and ugly—unite in these efforts to revolu- tionize society and public opinion. The philosophers too, are men who have little personal influence in society. They are dreamy wild, and visionary enthusiasts, unfit for the practi- cal business of the world, who are jostled aside in the movement of the crowd of the active and indus- trious millions, and who wander away and are lost in the wilderness of abstraction and impracticability, All this curious, varied, and original machinery— moral, religious, and philosophical of all kinds, can- not be set in motion without money. How much money, then, do these associations collect?) Where does it come from? The religious societies do not collect more than between three and four hundred thousand dollars annually. Little of this iscollec- ed in New York. The great bulk of contributions comes from the country—from the pious, quiet, re- ligious, Popery-hating rural districts, The philoso- phers get very little money—probably not more than between three and four thousand dollars a year. It is a remarkable trait in the character of these phi- Josophers, that they will give you a greatdeal of talk, but very little money. They have, indeed, something of a contempt for money. Industry is contemptible according to them, when its object is the dirty dross called money. Pure philosophy should, they think, serve mankind for meat, drink, and lodgings. A few, however, do manage to make their philosophy ‘“ pay.” Afterall, then, the influence of all these movements on the masees is very slight. ‘The masses are practical masses—they are common sense masses—they are money-making masses. They are masses that love the “almighty dollar” more than they love Almighty God. And yet, these proceedings, year after year, these movements—religious, moral, philosophical, infidel, Fourierite, social, and all—are not withouy certain. regults—results in a greater or less degree beneficial. The religious movements on the one hand, representing the strong sectarian feelings and prejudices of the past—and the philosophical move- ments on the other, representing the ultraism of the age, groping its way into the mists and darkness of the future, are like the two opposing forces of electricity, operating on the intellect and opinion of the time. ‘The results must be satisfactory. ‘The spirit of free inquiry is encouraged. The public mind is excited to new and useful courses of investigation. Foolish theories are seen in all their extravagance and im- practicability. (Genuine religion comes out pare and attractive, as ever from the conflict with infidelity. Infidelity itself, allowed perfect freedom, becomes more moderate and less blasphemous, The trut#t is all the time widening its dominion ; and slowly, but surely, amid all the dust, and tarmoil, and noise, | and extravagance which mark its career, the mighty meantime, Tryon is busy securing his harvest. Of the other cheap theatres;we know nothing, and seldom hear of them., Probably some persons may visit them, and a few newsboys may still eat pea- nuts in the pit. $ The “ Bohemian Girl,” at the Park, is still draw- ing full houses. This piece has had an extraordina- ryrun. Last night, Mr. Frazer, the principal tenor, the Murder " the Tombs, &e. The execution of this unfortunate and guilty man took place in the yard in the rear of the City Prison, bat within the outside walls, ; terday afternoon ; when he expiated upon the ws the penalty due for the heinous crime of which he has been tried and convicted, and which he himself has from the first admitted; and we trust that the speedy manner in whieh justice has in this instance been performed,will act as a preventive to crime. But as executions have taken place before to-day, and murderers have notwithstanding committed crimes with impunity, we do not anticipate any very favor- able result, especially as wealthy criminals,” with in- fluential friends and relatives to back them, have succeeded in brow-beating and defeating the ends of justice, and in cases too, when murders have been committed’ with less cause, and for more worldly and infamous ‘motives than actuated the poor wretch who has just ,been sent from this breathing world into the presence of his Maker, to receive that after-punishment which he feared and dreaded so much more than that which he received in compliance with the voices of his fellow men, who cry a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and blood for blood. Eager was about thirty-three years of age, five feet nine inches in height, stout and square built, and would weigh about one hundred and fifty pounds. His countenance was not unprepossessing. He was born in the North of Ireland, of Protestant parents, and was always brought up to worship in that faith. He came to this country when about twenty years of age, and has resided in this city the greater part of the time. Here he married the woman who has been the cause, innocently or otherwise, we cannot decide, of his meeting an ignominious death. She was of intemperate habits, and he was by no means a temperate man, as he fell into low and worthless company. During the past year he becamejsatisfied that Philip Williams, an acquaintance of himself and wife, was in the habit of having illicit intercourse with her, and he determined if such was the case, that he would take some means, what he did not care, to avenge himself upon the man that had destroyed his peace of mind. Williams and his wife were very in- timate, and he often saw them together, and at last, blinded by rage and jealousy, every movement on took his benefit. He appeared to have spirited him- self up for the occasion, and really made a more fa- vorable impression than he had before effected. Mr. Frazer has been, we fear, laboring under some indis- position, which has occasioned the want of power attributed to him by many. He possesses a cultiva- ted taste, and much skill and judgment, as far as we have been able to discover. After the ‘‘ Bohemian Girl” comes Mr, Anderson’s farewell benefit, which will doubtless be still more crowded and enthusiastic than ever. The attempt originally made in this city by some of the ultra admirers of Forrest to injure Anderson, was crushed in the bud by the timely ex- posure in our columns, and the affiliation in Phila- delphia was utterly overthrown by the discriminat- ing public of that city, on its very first manifestation. One word of advice we offer to Anderson—let him avoid long speeches, and attempts to be very philosophical, very learned, and very dignified. A short, simple, unstudied remark or two, will tell more eflectively than all the longrigmarole that Forrest or Macready ever uttered. Simpson is now in Europe, and will probably bring out some novelty in the way of ballet and opera, und also some beautiful actress, we under- stand. In the meantime, on the 16th of June, the French company take possession of the Park, and will hold it till some time in September. This will be a very strong point of rivalry to the Italian com- pany of Castle Garden ; but probably it will do both good. We do not think that the French company are equal to the Italian company in point of musical powers. It will, however, be a novel and interest- ing race, A concert for the benefit of the sewing artists and working women of New York, announced for Monday next, has been postponed till the 20th. The manager had invited some of the Italian vocalists, but they were under the necessity of declining, in consequence of opening on the same night at Castle Garden. The concert was to take place at the Tabernacle, and tickets to the amount of $35 were disposed of ; and of that Manager Hale has already clutched $30, and intends to get $20] b their parts tended to ‘convince him more strongly that he was right. On the night of the 2d of Decem- ber last,he went to the house, No. 121 Rosevelt street, where Williams boarded, and went to his door where he waited all night, believing that his wife had been and was still in the room of i The next morning when Williams dressed himself and came out into the entry to go to work, he encountered Eager, who stabbed him several times in the breast with a (knife, one wound penetrating the heart and causing almost instant death. He was arrested on the spot in the very act of consummating his purpose, and acknowledged that he had committed the mur- der, stating in extenuation that his wife had been in the room of Williams the preceding evening, as he knew by her voice, and that he could not get admit- tance ; that he went out and purchased a candle and returned to the door, but was still denied admit- tance—upon which he went out for a watchman. but being unable ,to find one, came back and found that the candle had been taken inside. He then de- termined to be revenged, and waited in the hall all asin the crjsiinel Aptis seIae distance that they go lown. "clock Sheriff entered the cell of the convict and dead hit : to dress. The hangman’s very, consists taloons bound with black brai white muslin n h black brid Ke Soa of is muslin bound witl B cap boun he same material with a black silk tossel at the top, was then put on by the criminal without his uttering a word. ‘he Sheriff then placed the halter about the neck, and as he did so, a convulsive ing was ob- served, but he appeared no more affected, or 80 much as those that wit d the preparation. The crimi- nal’s arms were then tied behind him by the elbows, and the Sheriff gave the word tomove. | Ashe left the cell, Eager asked permission to shake hands with Babe the pirate, and with Saun- ders, the only two prisoners with whom he a any converse, and the Sheriff readily ted this last request. ‘Babe was then led along the corridor, and Eager shook hands with him, saying, “ go bye, you must soon prepare to follow me”—and to Saunders he said pretty much the same thing. Babe did not evince so. much feeling as one w: sup- a person in his pec situation would do, and Saunders did’ not appear to Gon er Everything being in readiness, at precisely twenty minutes pan tine oveitok the criminal, supported on the le: by High Sheriff’ William Jones, in his cocked hat wit! his sword girt around his waist, and on the it by Deputy _ Sheriff peer pee also in uniform, preceded by a small posse of eputy sheriffs, with their staves of office, left the cell of the prisoner at a slow, solemn and mournful pace, turned round the east end of the prison, and then turned into the pas- sage-way in which the gallows was erected. At this point every eye was fixed upon the prisoner, but he did not betray the slightest emotion, his features being calm and composed, evincing clearly that he was prepared to meet (his death as a christian and a snitent. He never raised his eyes to the gallows, ut kept them fixed about twenty paces ahead. As soonas they did rest upon the platform,a slight tremor passed over his frame. Every thing was as hushed as death, and the unfortunate criminal was placed upon the platform, and turned round facing the east. ‘he sheriff then adjusted the halter, placing the knot behind the ear, and fastened the other end to the loop of the traversing rope overhead. The minis- ters of God then uncovered, as well as the sheriff and most of the spectators, and taking hold of the hand of the unfortunate wretch, the Rev. Mr. Hatt delivered the, following, prayer—the criminal ag he did so, swaying his ly slightly from side to side. Almighty and Everlasting God! thou just protector of the universe—thon God of Eternity, who delightesf not in the death of a sinner who has not obtained diviue forgiveness at thy hands—we pray unto thee, and crave that thou may hear us. We pray that this man, who hath seen the folly and wickedness of his ways, as thou knowest, may obiain forgiveness through the mediation of asuffering Saviour. Thou knowest, O God, that he is prepared to die the death of a christian, and to enter the valley and shadow of death, with angels to bear his spirit to thy shrine, where there is no sin. We commit him to thee, O God of the whole earth, to blot out all his sins, and to forgive all his iniquities and transgressions ; and may the saints of heaven rejoice over one who has re- pented. Oh Lord, have mercy upon the soul of a poor sinner! Amen. The prisoner calmly but fervently responded an amen to the prayer. Mr. Hatt shook hands with him, and paid 1, “How is it with you now?” To which he replied, ‘All well, and I die in peace. Good bye, good bye—pray for me.” The Sheriff, the minister, and one or two others, shook hands with him, and then all were ordered to stand back. The cap was pulled over his cyes—the Sheriff waved his hand to Mr. McDonnough—and, at precisely half past one o’clock, he, with a blow from the axe, severed the large rope from the belaying stay—the weight descended, and the unfortunate criminal was night until he accomplished his purpose, He also stated to the watchman that the deed was done, and intimated that if he had the life of another person he shouldidie satisfied. His trial commenced upon the 18th of March, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Edmonds and two Aldermen, and he was defended by James T. Brady, Esq., with ability —teceived every concession from Mr. Paterson, the District Attorney, that could justly be granted—re- ceived a fair and impartial trial, and on the 19th of March was convicted by the jury, after an absence of one hour, with a recommendation to mercy, made because some of the jurors were opposed to capital punishment. On Friday, the 21st of March, he was sentenced Judge Edmonds to be hung between the hours of 12 and 2 o’clock’on the 9th of May, and conjured to banish all hope of mercy from his mind and prepare for hig dreadful doom. Abill of exceptions was pretared by his counsel, but they were so weak and untenable that he was foreed to abandon them, and so clear was the man’s guilt, even taking his own confession, that Governor Wright refused to exercise the executive clemency in his behalf. At the time of the sentence Eager complained that it was hard to die for silling his wife’s seducer, but did not cavil at the justice of the law. He was an Piarek ite being mate to sitet fond oF te n after his sentence,he was visi A.

As he has the whole field to himself, having driven Hamblin off, we doubt not Mr. Manager Hale willmake anice penny out of the Tabernacle. Tue Lion Tamers.—Van Amburgh, the celebrated lion-tamer, and, we believe, the first of his class, arrived by the last steamer, after a sojourn of seven years-in Europe. He has amassed a handsome fortune, and now returns to his native land in the prime of life. He looks remarkably vigorous and healthy. He left town the other evening to visit the place of his nativity on the North River. Driesbach, another celebrated lion-tamer, is now in this city, with some very curious novelties in the way of wild animals, which he tames in the most extraordinary manner, at his menagerie, comer of Eighth street and the Bowery. We really should think that the President of the United States, Heads of Departments, and Collectors of the Ports, ought to take some lessons from these celebrated tamers of wild beasts. If there be any wilder beasts than office-beggars, we don’t know where they are to be found. New York Sacrep Music Socmry—-Hay- py’s Grand Oratorto—Tne Crearion.—-AT tue ‘Tanernack—Nearly four thousand persons assembled last evening to witness the perform- ance of this grand, sublime and massive musi- cal composition. The characters are Gabriel Uriel, Raphael, Adam and Eve, and were sustained by Messrs. Henry Philips, W. H. Oakley, R. An- drews, and Miss J. L. Northall, and Mrs. E. Loder, About three hundred vocal and instrumental per- formers were engaged in the execution of this great masterpiece. It opens with wild and sclemn music, representing chaos, which is followed by a Recita- tive—‘* In the Mii Spread God created the Heavens and the Earth”—by Mr. Phillips, which was receiv- ed with much cpplaniae, Miss Northall sang with her usual taste, and was in excellent voice—while Mrs. Loder was more divine than ever. The final chorus—‘ Praise the Lord! ye voices all,” was sung with great effect. We hope this society will give us the Messiah of Handel, ere long, and strive to create a taste for something above the miserable shows and “ Negro Melodies” which have so long ¢: the atten- tion of this sight loving public. Too much prai cannot be a’ led to the able conductor, C. Hill, and the accomplished organist, Timm, for their praseworthy efforts. Rewovine te Deap Bopies rrom rie Grave YaRn IN THE VICINITY OF THE Postorrice.—We perceive that several of the vaults have been opened in the vicinity of the new Postotlice, and the bodies have been removed to the burial grounds in the vici- nity of the city. Some to St. Marks’ Church—some to East and West Chester, and elsewhere. It is to be reyretted, that the friends of those who have been buried in this quarter, had not decided on this step ir. U. ir.

The Postoifice, as a place | of public resort, is continually crowded from morning to night, and the offensive odor arising from the | vaults,when opened,may prove dangerous in this sul- try weather. We can appreciate those commendable feelings which prompt the true respect for the ances- | tral ashes of the dead, which should always sleep in sacred repose; and, as, doubtless, the vaults in this old burial ground will eventually all be opened, and the bodies removed to amore calm and quiet resting place, we would advise a more appropriate season than the present for such a purpose.

Justick Drxer.—tTt will be seen on reference to our law reports, thatthe charges against Justice Drinker, have been dismissed—the Justice at the | Same time receiving the censure of the Court. He has expressed to them his sincere sorrow and penitence for the deed uniformly, and maintained that he believed his jealousy was well founded, and that his wife was false; acknowledges that it was not sufficient cause to warrant him in taking the life of a fellow creature. He attributed all his fatal passion to rum and bad company. He has repeatedly stated that the momenf after he became conscious of ha- ving killed Williams, he regretted it and would have given the world if ithad not happened, but that until recently he endeavored to steel his heart against feelings, knowing what his fate must be. A few days ago he expressed a desire to see his wife, and express his forgiveness to her, and on Tuesday she visited himi n his cell, and unmoved, heard the doomed man forgive her, and call upon God to do so likewise. On Wednesday she visited him again, in Company with one or two women and some other persons, all of them in a state of intoxi- cation. He extended his hand to her, but she re- fused to take it, upon which &@momentary flush came upon his face, but, soon subsided into a resigned ex- ression, and with a sigh he said, “God be merci- jul.” His wife and the party with her behaved bru- tally, and conducted themselves in so improper a manner, that en p Johnson wasjobliged to order them from the cell, and when they were gone,Eager said he did’nt want to see his wife again, and she never after came near him. .At the request of Eager, Mr. Hatt and Mr. Camp Veted. him in his col on fete night, and sat with him, praying and preparing him for the morrow, until about 4 o’clock, when he bx ssed a desire to be left alone. When asked by Mr, Hatt if he was prepared to die, he said, “ Yes ; it isn’t the death of the body I fear, but its what's to come hereafter. The law of God which demands my death is right- eous and just, and the law of the State is just, and T ought to die. I feel no disposition to quarrel ‘with my sentence.” When asked by Mr. Hatt, in the course of the night, if he had not better take a little rest and try to sleep, he replied—* No, sir; 1 shall have rest to-morrow.” en asked if he had any desire to have the execution delayed, he said—“No, T am now prepared and ready to go, and desire no delay.” After being left‘alone at B o'clock, he fell asleep and slept for about two hours, and then rose, washed himself and partook of some light food. Several persons visited him in his cell, and to | all he expressed himself that he was perfectly re- signed and ready to throw himself into the arms of his God. The cler, hour and remain 8 o’clock several ju nen were with him at an early with him to the last. About es and aldermen, and persons deputised as special sheriffs for the day, the officers of police, physicians invited to attend the execution, &e. began ‘to enter the prison, as well as a number of persons who foreed themselves in with- out any right or title, but were on that account mitted to enter without any warrant or permit, when those whose duty called them were oblii to go through the prescribed form. ‘The sheriff and his deputies were on hand in good season preparing for run up into the air, so that his feet were about two feet from the ground. At the instant of the ascent, his arms were convulsively jerked, and then a tremor of the whole frame set in. The clenched hands were then raised and lowered, the legs stretched and drawn up slightly. Another tremor [seers over the whole body—the body then bent backward —the hands were again raised, as if the body in agony was parting from the soul. The hands again lowered—another tremor ran over the body—the toes dropped—and the spirit of James Eager, a vic- tim to vicious human pogioa, winged its way to that God that gave it birth, to receive, at his hands, we ae final judgment. May He have mercy on is soul! ‘The pulse of Eager could be felt for fifteen minutes after he was run up, and it was evident, before he was taken down, that the run had not dislocated his neck, and that he died from: strangulation. He died as easy as any person could expect. __ After the body had been suspended for thirty-five minutes, the coifin was brought from the prison, and the body taken down and placed. therein, after which it was placed in an apartment to remain twenty-four hours, to be claimed by his friends, (ulas! poor man he has none) at the expiration of which time, it will be handed over to the surgeon for dissection. . As soon as the cortege had left the prison, a look- ing lass was pushed through the window, in the top cell, in whioh the reflection of Saun- defs’ face watching, with intense anxiety, the pro- ceedings, ‘might be seen reflected. A great many of the ners pieces of looking glass place sticks, and thrust out of the window, to see the exe- cution. Charles Rickey, Mr. Cox’s “confidential prisoner,” perched himself upon the roof of the main prison, and his woolly head was observed projecting over the spout. The jury of twelve men, who are always se- lected by the sheriff to witness the execution, and with the physician certify that everything has been conttvoted properly, performed that duty, and the re- cord will be transmitted to the Executive. Meeting for Consideration of the Propriety of Abolishing Capital Punishment. Last night there was a meeting held at the Miner- va Rooms, for the purpose of discussing the question of the propriety of this mode of punishment, and the right that man has to take the life of his fellow be- ings. The occasion was peculiarly fitting, after the execution inthe Tombs in the morning,and the feel- ings of those who are opposed to this mode of pur- ishment being fully aroused on the subject. Among the audience we noticed several of the persons who have been assisting at the Anti-“lavery Convention that/has just concluded its session,and the attendance generally was made up of the couatry visitors, who have been for the last week attending the anniversa- ries; but still, as far as the room would allow, it was well attended. At about 8 o’clock the meeting was addressed Vice-Chancellor McCoun, who are proceedings by a few remarks, stating that the city had again been disgraced by the execution of another fellow being, and it had been deemed a fit time for the friends of the cause to assemble, and he stated that several gentlemen would address the meeting, J. L. O'8uLtavan, Esq., Editor of the “Morni: jews,” then introduced a series of resolutions, which recom- mended the substitution of perpetual imprisonment fo: the punishment of death, and resolved the fo-m=tion of donal Society , to mer dei mectis The following gentlemen to be the officers of the So- ciety : Preidine Coad M. Datias, Viee President of the United States, Vice Presidents—The Presidents of all State Socicties ; those now existing being—Ronrrt Rantout, Jr., of Bos- ton; Vice Chancellor Wm. T. McCoun, of New York; Professor Hxwny 8. Pattxnsox, of Philadelphia. Secretary—Professor Henny 8. Pattenson, of Philadel- phia. Corresponding Committee—Job R. Tyson, Esq.; Profes- sor Charles D. sleigs; the Rey. Rufus W, Griswold; Dr, Henry 8. Gibbons—with power to add to their own number. Rev, W.H. Cuannina rose to second the resolu- tions. He said, one scarcely can know how~ to give ex- ression to the feelings which every one must fee! undor the tragody which has been d in our midst. This morning’s sun rose bright on many happy homes, but to how ay young hearts came the sad information that a fellow being was to be ushered irito eternitv, his soul to be separated from his body in a violen cruel menner, sowing the first seed of revenge, and re- the event of the day. Persons begin to flockinto the police office to crave foes to congregate in Franklin, Centre, Elm and ‘onard streets, with a vague idea or hope of some- how or other Retting a chance of ‘seeing something, and without the most remote probability of their be- ing able to satisfy their morbid curiosity. The num- ber outside the prison who were unable to see an thing at all could,not have been less than a thousand, in the inside there was about three hundred, two hundred of whom came in properly. ‘The gallows was erected in the rear of the prison across the passage wuy, und within a few feet of the window of Eager’s cell, and a few feet of where it was last erected for the or of Colt’s execution. This same gallows, which is made on the modern plan, has been used for the execution of at least ten hag two of whom were pirates, and it has en used in various parts of the State. It is con- structed of two square onk posts, about 20 feet high, each supporting one end of an oak cross beam of about the same size and about 25 feet long. ‘The posts rest upon two horizontal beams, from which there ate stanchions to the uprights. 'Between the posts a platform is made upon which the criminal pulley, over which the traversing ropa passes to the end, where there is another pulley, over which it passes, and is fastened to a large rope. The end of this larger rope is attached to the iron weights,four 56 and one 28 pound weights, | and the other end passes through a larger pulley ai the cross beam, and is made fast to a belaying cleat, which is nailed upon the horizontal beam. The wale pie been raised about a At on the ‘ound, the traversing rope upon which the halter is fastened, is lowered suflicicntly to ullow the halter to be looped on and permit the criminal to stand upon the platform, and the other end is, of course, made stands. Inthe centree of the rossbeam is asmalliron | ng venge sancti by law and admitted as a’ standin institutionjoffeocial life ; it shocked them to think so bad, #0 atrocious a deed could be committed. Allow me to il- "t_love the poor fis places this wes the pare instinct of @ pure unvullied heart,—it was a shock of surprise to a moral nat re. But to pass from the scene which has transpired in this city to-day, | will ask if there is any men here, who has been shocked at the levity which has been manifest- ed. Men were as eager for gam, for frivolous delight; not a pulse beat quicker, nota smile been staid; grave, serious christians have met to discuss questions; the ex- change has been thronged; the workshop resounded to sound of human industry, all indifferent, and this indif- ference to human life has been produced by this custom. If the gallows had never been heard of, and had it been said to day, a soul like ours was to be battered out, eve- ry man would have been in sackcloth; no smiling faces would: have been seen, bet fades thee dee) horror of the tragedy; every face would hav paled; pnd all would. Neve aaa, there shall for this day at least, be a sabbath. It would produce this effect. But there is no mode in which it can be looked at, unless it is com- lete, Acrime has been committed, and'we destroy the ife of a follow being, and we offer in our justification the commandment, that life shall be taken. If you cannot prove that commandment, then this is a social crime. Let uslook. God's command’s must come to tts either through theprophets or from the dictates of tho heart. Thiv custom, so revolting to the human soul,to our better nature, is deri- ved from one text, and the best Hebrew scholars consider it of doubtful interpretation, but suppose it to beas clear as if we heard it from Heaven. Was it local or was it intend- ed to be universal in itsapplication. All the commenta- tors combined can find no proof that it is universal. Cone sidering the time, the people, and the circumstances, to whom and under which it was given, it must be considers edas local. But supposing it to be both elear and univer. fast to the weight. When the large rope is cut bi | the uutder Shortie weights wuddealy teosesd acd me and the command bind! 6 th Ragen ye society | ‘sag y has, by its acts, disobey e cr y : mand ways Whoever commite murder rauat be killed—not by soe: but as suddenly and ting]; committed; this was the Foctioe in the days in which the commandment was given to the people; they made no dis- tinction, as they do now, between mu: r, mensl: r and homicide. “1 ask this, does the change of time and circumstance warrant a change inthe mode of excuting the command? If it does, then the command also changes, and itis for + pales prove that man is not commanded to to make a total change. Now, if there isno basis as coming from prophets or human promptings, then is no right in the sprenent form of society to force the text. W: man say that James Ea- Ger's deathwas necessary to Society—it was not so—he could have beenconfined and society would have been fae Ja tavige, Senke paaee when there were no ws—When every man’s hand was against his neighbor, and hie neighbor's him, it might have bese ost cessary ; but ce: y_ not gow; They say it was ne- cessary for example. “What has been the example? We say it Was to arouse evil passions; it was to say to the rude, passionate, and ungover man’s life is not in- violate. Can any man deny this to be the example to- day 1 ‘The second example is that life can be taken not only when the better man is hushed, when the passions are aroused, but calmly, cooly, and deliberately ; and, therefore, life instead of being held sacred is looked up. onasa light matter. There is another example, and one which will not be forgotten. If life can be n—thus paerey t and deliberately taken—the man of bad pas- sions will say, why then, I can take life, and this is my justification. The fourth example, and the most terrible of all is, that life can be taken amid so much levity. Did not Eager know that this city was going on as usual ; that the gay would laugh, aad the solemn brood of care and plod on when he was in the agonies of dissolution? He felt that he was late and lonely—the exami‘le that was taught so painfally to him, was taught to all.— The newsboys who hawked the account of his death through the streets, what was the example to him ?7— It could not be worse, By many, the justification of the punishment of death is based on its necessity to the safe- ty of society. ‘They say that this kind of punishment is neces: vi and must be tolerated. Ideny the justice; it is not a fitting punishment to the crime, because it makes come commit the same crime, for it punishes the crimi- nal. it is a perversion of justice. The mind that ig not familiar with the gallows is struck with abhorrence at its brutality and injustice. When the missionaries angliciz- ed the savages and erected a gallows to puni man, the men of nature were amazed—what, said they, com- mit‘murder for murder? It is unjust, not it is not the extreme punishment that society can inflict, but bocause it takes from the hands of God what is his right, and his only. The greatest punishment that can be in- flicted, is in my opinion, utter seclusion from society.— with society, to enjoy the converse of friends, ‘the life of man, and the deprive- be the Lael tearerepyp aa To exclude a man from all the ties of humanity is the true— the just and proper punishment. By giving im the means of reformation, you may lift him from. degradation to occupy the high and holy sphere he was made for.— Show him when shut out from society, a friendly face to waken in his heart his better nature, and it will be at once a punishment anda Cae aren crime done to- day, to-morrow passes away and. be igh tna socie- ty takes not evena passing notice of the eddying whirl where a fellow creature sank, butgconsign him to a moral death, and he stands a lesson against the crime—it teaches all hearts. Such cases are remedial, and should be al- lowed a chance. There is also danger of taking inno- cent life. Mr. Channing then related several instances of the kind, and closed with this remark; when a man shows a better nature, new principles, you have God’s example to treat as a man. Mr. Crarr, of Boston, rose in the name of religion, to bear testimony against capital punishment, though he despaired of uttering his thoughts to the full extent. Every one whose heart has not been hardened by the action of the day, must have responded to the remarks of the eloquent Channing, that life is violable, that we ourselves may take the life of a fellow be! Our ob- Ject is the prevention of crime, and the exo) n of the spirit of murder. Seeing the secular and religious press look on this subject so 1 ently. what is the lesson that is faugnt by them? By tho tsking of life, which is the sa- cre of things, men all around us are taught by the exam| nge, and are tempted every, nh to exercise that spirit, and the fact that they do so little resist that temptation, proves that they need the lesson more and more every day that human life is most sacred, and has that lesson been taught? No. To- day we have seen life is violable, and that under certain circumstances, that the blotting out of life is re- cognizable. This question is one so plain, that from its very simplicity it is passed bys things that involve a most intricate course of reasoning and argument are ge- nerally understood, but things so plain as this, we can scarcely force into the tortuous mind of the public, This day he had conversed with one whom, he was sorry to say,, was a minister of the Gos- pel—that ‘Gos; to foster a spirit of reve: 1 that teaches to overcome evil with good, not the gibbet. The clergyman argued that the community of evil and depraved ‘@ required the ‘ibbet as an object of terror, that they might know that ife could not be taken—but is this true philosophy. In the New Orleans Pic he had read thet great ef forts had lately been made te give up the wearing of deadly weapons, and it had been proved satisfactorily that notwithstanding the terror this custom inspired that it increased rather than diminished the tendency to com- mit murder. In New Orleans and Tecnenare, Row ch the code of honor so called, was in operation, ough t was well understood that no man could commit the slightest offence towards his fellowman without canis the risk of being cloven to the = What has t! system of terror done? Has it increased the safety of human life? No. In repens, to the number of assaults has the erin of i fe increased. No man is so liable to insult 23 he who goes armed at all times to repel in- sult. It is not true, in fact that men are deterred from evil doing by terrorof the law, if terror is to be the punishment, how comes it that so great an improve- ment in the discipline and arrangement which he sees with much pleasure, butJif he believed the go was required to ‘punisn crime he woul and wage war ig ica these prison discipline Societies that go any way for abreviating unishment,fi § would exhort all to quit from be: ind to the sinning child; but the sinner might thi crime a and unpunishnble thing. A clergyman this day had said to him that it was ppomeuoe e i n murderer even to remain in prison. Sir, hundred years ago a character worse than was brought to the Saviour for condemnation, what was his reply ? “Go, and sin no more.” And he was wiser than we are of what was for the interests of the sinner and community . The clergyman repled, Sir, the reason of this reply was that she had not been tried and found guilty by a regular tribunal! And if she had, he would have joined in her punishment!! Would the Saviour have carried this doctrine out ? Imagine to-day when James Eager was taken from the Tombs for exe- cution, if the person who killed him was pure and eful; if Jesus Christ would have assist at it.— uch an idea seems horrible (and he did not wish to shock anybody in the room,) but unless you believe that could have done it you are unjust, and defame his holy memory in associating it with the gibbet. It is id that the gibbet is necessary to inspire terror in the hearts of the community ; then why were ar uot allowed to witness the ¢: ag and exalt- ing sight? Why not select4 some noble amphitreatre and there calling together the men, women and children of this city, execute your man, and if the idea was to instil a wholesome terror, let them witness it. And why, it life is so sacred, and its is so solemn, why not choose a day when men could take advantage of it? He was struck with the remark of Mr. Channing, that there had been no feeling exhibited on this day. It an example were pany ayes why not take a time when community were ready to listen to it? Had it been done on the Sab- bath day, and in presence of children, and the execution- er been a clergyman, there would have beena solemnity attached to it, but the feeling of the whole community re- Ject this, But the law has decided that this drei ex. by | ample shall be performed secretly, so that. none shall have advantage of it. Among the crowd assembled in the vicinity of the prison and endeavoring to obtain a spot where a glance at the dreadful scene might perchance be obtained, what feeling was predominant! That of fecling? No, the reverse. He went on to allude to the visit of Gough, and the Hutchinsons to the State prisons, and the force of their kindness to the prisoners, as a proof of their opeaness to reasoning; and concluded with asevere no- tice of those clergy who maintain the doctrine of hanging, amidst some applause. Mr. Beut, of Kentucky, being called upon, said, Ladies and Gentlemen :—I should be forry—very sorry—if one of the remarks made by the gehtleman who preceded me were true, and that is, that the people are losing faith in christianity. 1 don’t believe it re may be individuals, and there may be societies who have lost faith in the forms of christianity ; but there is an essen+ tial principle, and vital one, in it which no society, or no man can gainsny; that was as self-evident and palpable,as that two and two make four ; and among them is the one ‘ou recognize, in the liation of capital punishment. Nothing. sir, in my visit to your city, affords me greater pleasure than my attendance at this meeting to-night. No subject appears to me more clear and satisfactory than the proposition that in the infliction of capital punish- ment we ow! all the instincts, the sympathies, the charities of our nature. Why, when I first thought of the subject, it flashed on my mind like a flood of light. Everything charitable, d and sympathetic in our na- ture, is agninst it; and itis the plainest, simplost thing possible. It is not because the people are losing faith in christianity, but because they have not allowed them- selves to think. The world is #0 occupied by its own pursuits, that it will not allow itself time to think. | defy any sensible, honest man, to sit down and reflect halfan hour on the subject, without rising with the conviction that capital punishment is wrong. My friends, individual character is formed on the ‘collective character. If society has a right to take life, so have I. If socicty has a right to take life, | have a right to pull a pistol out of my Pocket anil shoot the man who offends me. Now I feel tho: thing porhaps more than hel ‘ing in Kentucky as I do, where pistol and bowie knives are 9s common as watehos; even the students at Transylvania College, carry pistols quite commonly. J look upon it as an insult to this andienco— to the understanding of the country—for any man to say capital punishment Is necessary for example. Example! Go and get the Newgate Calendar, glean it, and you will find that places of public execution are those whore vice and crime most prevail. ‘There never was an exe. eution which was not disgraceful'to human nature. J re- peat it—it ix the aggregate character of society that gives the habits and customs to children ; these children grow up and become men. When they grow up to 20 or 22 ears, thinking themselves men, thoy think also they ve wright to carry @ pistol or bowie knife, and use them when insulted. Can any thing be plainer than that those executions connive at murder and assassi- nations? Who can dowbt that they do not cause these und other crimes? This is so plain, that it would be an of: fence to the audience to reason upon it. If society has a right to take life, so h I; and nothing struck me with more horror than the set I heard’ from pro: ing Christians, Venge js ming saith the Tn tha name of truth, Mr. Chairman, what more is wanted than th It is not’ worth my while to talk of the effects of hanging.

This work has cre- ated an extraordinary sensation in Europe, and will © be, we are confident, one of the most popular publi- cations ever isgued in this country. Thier’s received $160,000 for the copyright from the Parisian pub- lisher, and Cary & Hart, of Philadelphia, paid him @ thousand dollars for the first sheets. Collyer’s edi- tion is, therefore, what is called “pirated.” We un- derstand that Allison’s history netted the Harper’s $30,000, not one per cent of which was paid by those generous publishers to the author. Thier’s history will create a profound sensation in this country, and the publishers will probably issue hundreds of thou- sands of copies, and make immense sums of money by the sale. With regard to the work itself, we have something to say hereafter. It is'a most remarkable produc- tiod—original in the highest degree, and furnishes by far the most accurate and extensive data on which to base just philosophical views of the French Revo- lution, with which we have been yet furnished from any quarter. From Sovrn America.—The Emma, Captain Wait, arrived at this port last evening, after a pase- ‘age of twenty days from Maracaibo. We leam from Captain W. that there were strong prospects of a disturbance between the governments of Vene- zuela and New Grenada, in consequence of a dispute respecting the province of Guajira, both parties claiming the possession of it. Six hundred troops had been ordered out at Maracaibo. It was gene- rally supposed that the disputed territory would fall into the hands of the Venezulians, as they were more powerful than their neighbors of New Grena- da. Captain W. also states that coffee was abundant at Maracaibo at the time of his leaving. Tue Sicitan Faiaate.—The handsome vessel now lying in our harbor, belonging to the King of the Two Sicilies, is now in fine order, and has been visited by several of our most respectable citizens. She is greatly admired. The King of Naples has, we believe, another frigate of the same size, and alsoa number of steam vessels, which compose his mina- ture navy. Really, this frigate is worth a visit. Tus Baurimore Posrmasrer.—A few days ago our Baltimore. correspondent made some remarks about the new Postmaster of that city, stating that he was a whig. We have every reason to believe that this is an error. Mr. Buchanan, according to the best information we have, has been distinguish- ed as a democrat for many years, and is deservedly esteemed for his excellent character in public and private life.
