Custis, Esq —Bird’s-eye View Described— Entertamment by and conversation with our vene- rable friend—Relics of the Revolution and of Wash- ington, Paintings, §c —Lafayette and the Forest Trees—The Pre-nic Spring and its accommodation Sor the Young People—A Specimen of Farming— List of Pictures, §c. ‘The most agreeable jaunt that we have made for years, for recreation, novelty, and profitable instruc- tion, Was our visit to-day to “Arlington,” the vene- rable seat of the venerable George Washington | Parke Custis, Esq , on the green heights across the Potomac river from Washington. With an inter- resting and intelligent company of young ladies and | gentlemen from Kentucky, we left the dust of Penn- | sylvania Avenue in a chartered omnibus, at two | o'clock P. M., and alter a pleasant ride across the la- | long bridge, (a mile and a quarter,) the causeway over the swamps of the invisible Jackson city, and round the green fields beyond, and the luxuriant woods, we came, suddenly emerging from the trees, upon the old castle that stands out in such fine reliel from the Western portico ot the capitol. A magni ticent bird’s-eye view burst at once upon us. Im- mediately beneath lay the broad Potomac, dotted here and there » ith the white sails of the wood or eyster sloops, with its interminable bridge stretch- ing across both channels, and the broad shoal be- tween. On tne opposite bank, in all its nakedness, stretched the city of the Scribes and Pharisees, alias the city of magnificent distances, for three long miles ; and dispersed along the straggling mass ot bricks and§ frames, the public buildings, such us | the National Observatory, the President’s mansion, | the Treasury Departinent, the Patent Office, the beautitul General Post Office, the wretched looking City Hall, the Penitentiary, the buildings-ot the Ar- senal, &¢., stood out in conspicuous majesty and massiveness. But high above all, on his emerald throne, with a grove of green trees at his feet, and with hisfoundation apparently on a level with the chimneys of Pennsylvania Avenue,towered aloft the grand and massive pile of the capitol of this great nation, the big dark dome of the rotunda contrast- ing finely with the shining whiteness of the body of the edifice. Befond ‘all this demonstration for a great city, there was a relieving outline of a semi- cucle of wooded hills of a sweep of ten miles, from Georgetown on the West, round to the Navy Yard at the South-eastern extremity of the city. We left our friends on the lawn contemplating tls scene, while we stepped up into the majestic portico of the mansion, to look up the lord of the manor.— The mansion, from an outside view, appeared to be uninhabited, so, without knocking, we tried the main door, and it opened readily to its full extent, the strong current of air against it bearing us pr pitately into the hall. Otherwise we had at first de- signed a mere peep, and then, if necessary, to sound ahallo! There we stood, in the midstof a gallery of pictures, with the lord of the manor in his Mac- donald plaid, rising from a lounge, where he had been taking a nap— “His custom in the afternoon,” d “Ha! ha! ha! a little more you would have caught me napping.— Come at last, hey! my young friend. 1 declare I had given youup” Our friends were introduced to the courteous old gentleman ; he showed them his collection of pictures, the walls of every room in the lower story, in addition to the hall, being co- vered with paintings and engravings. Then he took the ladies under his escort to the flower gar- den, gathering for them the most beautiful roses, dahlias, &c. Returning, the whole company sat down in the parlor, our host having ordered ‘some vinous refreshments to be placed on the * Round Table.” Then he taliced to us of the past, of Wash. ington and his compeers, of the battles of the Revo- lution, of his late visit to the North, of the astonish. ing progress of New York city, speaking of which, he said, “Why, ladies, when I was last there, fifty years ago, St. Paul’s was in the Northern suburbs, and the Bowery was in the country.” And then he dwelt upon the magic of our free institutions; and again upon the glorious old names of the Revolution, and the Federal Constitution. He entertained usin this manner for nearly an hour, when we proposed that he should go with us in our omnibus down to his “brave old oak,” and the spring at its root. Our omnibus stood in the shade of the weods, in the rear of the mansion. Coming forward, Mr. Custis asked us how we liked his household trees? ** Beautiful, very beautiful forest, Mr. Custis,” said Miss Julia: “you did right to preserve such fine trees.” “ Ah! yes, my fair friend,” said he; “at the close of the revolution, Latayette, God bless him—a noble, brave man was the French Marquis—Lafayette came to see me, epee he, ‘remember, Mr. Custis, it is easier to chop Gown ten of these trees, than to re- place a single one of them.’ I have rernembered it, for I love this rove for the sake of Lafayette.” The venerable Virginian then entering the omni- bus, we descended the hill, half a mile through his fields, passing through a tunnel under the Alexan- dria canal, down to the Picnie Spring. He showed us a field on the way, in which a dozen of his ser- vants were at work, with spades, hoes and rakes, as it gardening. They were thus preparing a piece of meadow land for timothy and clover. Arrived at the spring, the old gentleman had further explan- ations to make: ‘ This is the booth,” said he, “which Ihave had erected for the accommodation of the young people who come to see me from the city. You see they land just there, in their bouts ; and when they are tired of fishing, they can have a dance ; anuthis past summer they have often kept itup of moonlight nights, till 12 o’clock. Ilike the young people. I like to see them enjoy themselves. had this httle spring house built for them, to keep their refreshments in, you know, ladies. I shail have to enlarge the dancing booth next summer, so that we can have concerts of summer evenings sometimes. J like to see the young people enjoy themselves.” After further conversation, with ma- ny thanks, we left our hospitable old friend, and re- turned to the city delighted, the ladies particularly, with the fortunate visit selected. The estate of Ar- lington embraces about eleven hundred acres. e subjoin a list of some of the paintings that grace the walls of Arlington House. Mr. Custis is an artist himself—self-taught, and has many pictures in his studio of his own workmanship ; among them we may mention the Battle of Princeton, the Battie of Yorktown, the flight of Champe, amd a number of portraits. Wollastin’s picture ot lady Washing- ton, in the glow and maturity of her beauty, is cer- tainly, as a work of art, an admirable chef d'auvre ; butas presenting a fa.thful portrait, of the loveliest woman of her time, and perhaps of any time—it is eloquent of inspiration. But our observations are becoming lengthy : Of the five original likenesses of Washington, by dis- tinguished artists, that were taken of Washington, four ot them are at Arlington House, viz :— 1. The Provincial Colonel, in his Britannic Majesty's : ioe, Taken at Mount Vernon, 1772, by C. W. Peale. 2. Basso Releivo at Mount Vernon, 1785, by Houdon. pug, “Mertrian Portrait, at New York, 1790, by Trum- bull. rosy, Prefile, in crayons, at Philadelphia, 1795, by Sharp. ons. The Washington of 1772, then in the prime of life, is a remarkably fine picture, life size, three quarter length, s pronounced a capital likeness by the cotompo- f Washington betore the revolution. ‘This pic- ture has beon thrice copied and engraved. ‘The bas relief, by Houdon, taken from the life in 1786, formed in part the model of the celebrated statue in Richmond, Virginia. There are mony busts from this cast extant, The Equestrian Portrait, by Trumbull, the man and horse bot yonetens from the life. The large copy in the City Hall, New York, appears to be much iadea. Phe Crayon profile, by Sharpl 1796, was the last original. it is critically correct, ha’ ing been executed by a pentegraph, Opponite to the portrait of the chief is that of Martha Washington, (the lady Washington of the Revolution.) being always so called in the army—a very fine picture, painted in 1750, by Woollaston, and engraved in Boston tor Sparks’ works. Near to this o1 al, is one of Col. Daniel Parke © tis, Mrs, Washington's first husband, a gentleman in the prime of life, and in the full costume of the olden time, by Weollaston, painted in 1750, There are also in this Hall paintings by the old mas- ters, of very ancient date; a splendid picture of Col, Daniel Parke, aid-de-camp to the great Duke of Marlbo. t Blenheim, painted by Sir Godfrey Kneller in old. An ing picture painted by the celebrated Pine, of Mr. Custia when a boy, executed at Mount Vernon in | 7 pan has made « copy from this picture, which is considered a chef d'auvre of the arts. There are several portraits of ithe female ancestry of the proprietor, of the days of the old Flemish mas- There are also among several presentation paintin, of Minden, @ painting presenti y Mr. Vaughan, of London.

We found this bed and bed furniture, to- | gether with the venerable Pretorium or Tent of the revo- | lution, piled up on the lower story of the house, and near | to the large doors of entrance. ‘This was done at the | time of the proprietor’s departure from home, on his late tour to the North—express orders being given, that in case of an alarm of fire, the Washington relics were the first to be saved. Each individual of our company on being intro- duced to this tent and its furniture, laid hands upon the articles, as if there was something of a blessing, something of a love of country, of freedom, of Wash- ington, in the very toueh of these relics of the revo- lution, ‘There is a venerableness about this old | mansion and in its decorations, which excite teelings of awe and reverence, and of reflection upon the noble race of the host, and their deeds of imperish® | ble glory. Long life to Mr. Custis, the grandson of | Lady Washington—the hospitable proprietor of Ar- lington. Inrerestinc From Hayr1.—We have received by the way of Philadelphia the following intelli- gence from Hayt Care Haytien, Sept. 10, 1945.—Capt Treadway, of schooner Baltimore, who takes this, and who arrived here from Port Spain, Trinidad, or the 26th ult., reporte:! two Dominican schooners of war and a sinall sloop at anchor, the day before, under Monte Christ, a frontier port, about ten leagues to windward ofthis On the Ist inst. the Haytien fleet, consisting of one barque, a topsail and two fore and alt schooners, carrying in ail 20 guns, sailed hence for Monte Christ, where it arrived next day and after some firing,by which neither party was in- jured, the Dominicans ran their vessels on shore and abandoned them. ‘I'he Haytiens then burnt one of the schooners, and having got the other off, sent her in here a prize, with a mahogany barge in tow, which had also heen taken. The prize schooner is American built, said to be a Hampton pilot-boat, and to have belonged to an American merchant at Porto Platte. She is of 60 or 70 tons burthen, and has “ Virginia” painted on her stern. Three men found in the barge were the only pri- soners taken. They were somewhat maltreated by the mob here on coming ashore. On the 25th ult., an “Arrete” was published here by the President, declaring all the Dominican ports blocka- 1, and that any foreign merchants who should, directly or indirectly, expedite a vessel to auy of these ports, should forfeit his patent, and be driven’ from the island. This regulation bears particularly hard on some of the foreign merchants in this part of the island, as at the commencement of the revolution, they had large outstandings in the Spanish port, the most of which are still uncollected, and their only means of late, for realizing any part of these, has been to order homeward bound vessels to touch at Port Platte. It isalso declared that all vessels and merchan- dise, known to have come trom the Spanish port, shall be confiscated. ‘This is important, as it respects Ameri- can vessels, as they sometimes touch at Port Platte to try the market, and then enter here, or further wost ward; and although in such cases the penalty might not be enferced, they would still be subjected to difficulty. The fleet returned into porton the 8th. It is said its next expedition will be against Porto Platte. ‘The Haytien Navy now numbers seven sail, viz : one barque, two topsail and four fore and aft schooners, amounting in all to about six hundred and seventy tons burthen and carrying thirty-two guns. The barque is French built, all’ the schooners, except one, which is Haytien, are Baltimore clippers. They were well enough manned in respect to numbers, but there are few good seamen onthe Island. Laborers are scarce at presont on account of the late impressment. ‘The Ad- miral is a General of Division in the Army. Rumors wore current yesterday of new disturbances at Leogune and Jeremic, but nothing definite has yet reached us. It is also reported with more confidence that the French Consul General at Port au Priace has heen ordered to leave the island, as well asthe Vice onsul here. The former is accused of having aided cer- tain partizans of Herard, in his late attempt at iavasion, to escape from the country, and also of having granted protection and the rights of French citizens to such co- lored Haytiens as desired them. Brig Silénus, of Boston, arrived on the 28th ult., with stores and 4000 muskets for government. Bus.ness is much interrupted. Coffee 16, and exceed- ingly scarce. Doubloons $01 a 52. New *Zeavanp AFFarrs—PRralsewortuy Acr.— Capt Pierce of the whaling ship General Pike, which arrived at this port on Saturday from the South Pacific Ocean, brought with him an English family, con- sisting of John Florance, his wife, and two daughters, 20 and 22 years of age, to whom he had afforded a refuge and protection on board of his vessel from the extermina- ting warfare of the natives at Vangaroa, New Zealend The colonists at Vangaroa, about forty in number, with the exception of this family, had previously fled Mr. Florance being prevented from doing so in'conse quence of the severe illness of one of his daughters. His house and property had been wholly destroyed by the natives. On the passage home a subscription in be- half of the family was generously proposed among the otticersand crew of the General Pike, and headed by Captain Pierce with the liberal donation of one hundred dollars ; fitty dollars each by the first and second offi- cers, and other sums among the crew, amounting in all to three hundred dollars. We are huppy, moreover, to add, that the generous conduct of Capt. Pierce in giving a tree passage to this suffering family to this port, has met with entire and hearty approval from the agent of the General Pike ; and the several orders of the officers and crew for the amount of their respective donation ,, to be deducted from their hard earnings during a twenty-four months absence trom home, have been promptly accep- ted for payment according to the intentions of the donors. Capt. Pierce states that with the exception of Auck- land, the capital of New Zealand, the natives had com- pletely routed the European colonists, and obtained os- session of the island. They were making preparations to attack Auckland. The island comprises an extent of about 500 miles and included about fourteen Ewropean settlements. The Bay of Islands, formerly the seat of government, contained previously to the attack of the hatives a population of about 3,000, mostly English. T' population of Auckland, we believe is about 4,000 — New Bedford Mercury, Sept. 22. More Trovsce wrru tae Mormons.—Our corres- pondent at Warsaw sent us by the La Clede, which arrived this morning, the following account of serious out-breaks between the Mormons aad their opponeuts in Mancock county :— Warsaw, 1ith September, 1846, 10 o'clock, A. M.—On Tuesday morning just, (9th inst.,) an attack was made on a school house im Kocky Run Precinct, by some persons unknown, but supposed to be Mormons, in which there was at the time of the attack a convention of Anti-Mor- mons, or old settlers of the county. The door and windows of the house were completely riddled by tne shots fired by the assailants, ‘he attacking party ap- proached under cover of the woods and bushes, aud fired one round and fled. No person was injured, but many were, 1 presume, much frightened at this sudden and un- expected assault, The old settiers in that section of the county armed themselves tor uefence, and if they are backed by their friends in other parts of the county, blood will flow. By a messenger just in, who came to purchase lead, powder, flints, &c., 1 learn that four buildings were burned down lust night, and one man shot, and very badly wounded, but not mortally. Yester- day, thirteen wagons, loaded with furniture, were seen wending their way to the city of Refuge (Nauvoo.) Two o'clock, P. M.—Another messenger has just arrived from the country, and reports that large bodies of Mor- mons are patrolling the southern part o! the county, aud that a number of jamilios irom the interior are on’ their way to Warsaw, seeking protection, 1 can form no opinion what the result willbe. ‘The storm may pass over without any very serious consequence, and there may be much destruction of property, and the loss of may lives before peace and quiet shall be fully and permanently established in this unhappy county. : Respecifully Yours, &c. This monster work in the far West is progressing, and excites the wonder of all who look at it. is it intended asa place of worship? [tis said not. ‘The people are to assemble without to worship aints alone are to enter within the " holy of holies.” ‘The Warsaw Signal insists Upon it, however, that the temple has another object. Itsays:—* The Temple in :eality, however, is designed, in our opinion, for w fortification. It has re- gular port holes, iu the shape of round windows, in the second story, and i# in every respect well situated for a fortification. ‘Tho wail ‘enclosing five or six acres around tho building, is about tour feet thick, which bo intended for no other purpose than defence. ‘he idea of its being intended merely as the foundation for an ornamental railing, as pretended by the saints, is pre- poste:ous. On Drrs.—Reports state that Mr. Buchanan will soon be (ransierred from the State Department to a seat on the Supreme bench, in the place of the late Judge Baldwin, and that Mr Bancroft, Secretary of th Navy, 1s to have the missionto Berlin, im place of M Wheaton. We learn that Mr. Hobby, of the Post Office Depart: ment, has gone on to Philadelphia for the purpose of effecting au arrangement for an earlier arrival in this city of the great Eastern mail than is now had. } U. 8.

Mitiria Tharvinc.—The annual farce of militia train- ing commenced in this city on Monday last, and will be continued until all the different regiments shall have been warned out, which depends entirely upon the con- venience of the commanding officer. Yesterday anum- berof the up-town companies assembled ay they had been warned on the sidewalks, at the corners of the streets, in front of porter-houses and other such conveni- ent places, Some of the companies presented a most ri- diculous appearance. Many were dressed in their or nary apparel, and many more in the oldest and most rag- ged clothing they could find. One gentleman we noticed who had on an old-fashioned military coat that might safely be said to have descended from the days of 1776,if not later, Moreover, it was a ‘world too wide” for him and fitted to has body, something as a shirt would fit upon akoe-handle, [He had on a hat, procured probably specially for the occasion, at a shop in Chatham street; and to cap all,is eyes were covered with a huge pair of Jeathern spectacles. He seemed to consider himselt the “observed of all observers,” and performed the evolu- tions with a stiffness that would have done honor to a newly appointed Yankee Captain. ‘The general appear ance of the company was much like that of Bombastes Furioso’s. Here was a tall clerk and by his side a short cobbler. A hump-backed tailor stood next to a fat but er, putling away all out of breath. Tall, short, lean, fat, good-looking and bad-looking, were all mingled. Some muskets were carried, some rifles, and some broom- sticks, shovels and hoe-handles. Falstaff’s army in Flanders coulda’t be compared to them. ‘The mils by which they marched was the “ear-piercing fife” blown by satrepping Irishman, aud'e Kettle drum beaten by a young negro. ‘The oflicers generally appear to be sen- sible men and possess considerable military knowledge But such drilling. It appeared to be the wish of nearly all to drill as badly as possible, and make as much sport as they could, greatly to the delight of a concourse of negroes, boys, old men, und loafers, who had assembled to see the “sojers.” They drilied away till three or four o’elock, and then disbanded. It does seem strange that the people, nearly all of whom see the uselessness and nonsense of the present militia system, do not alter it This should be done, instead of mak: it more ri- diculous than it really is. Now, all who cunnot manage to evade the militia Jaw, endeavor to have sport enough at the parse to compensate them for the loss of time.—- his should not beso. So long as the law exists, it should be obeyed to the very letter. If, as we believe, uine-tenths of the people view it as a useless burden, let them alter it, for they have only to say so, and it is done. We cannot resist a hearty laugh at an expedient takea in a certain towa inthe good puritan State of Mo sachusetts, to evade the militia law. Year after year the inhabitants met, and drilled with broomsticks, sho- vels, hoes, and whatever could be found. But at last, getting tired of this, they hit upon a plan which would etiectuully prevent any farther trouble. At the annual town meeting, they elected as Colonel, by a large ma- jority, an old fellow, who made his living by sawing wood, and was always drunk, a regular town loafer. He, of course, alwaysfneglacted to warn them out, and for this service he was always unanimously re-elected, and for many years they have not been troubled. We would not, of course, recommend this plan, but we would recommend that those who feel the present mili- tia systema asa useless burden, should take immediate steps to abolish it. Mitttaxy.—Capt. Tompkins’ company of Flying Artil lery, Lith regiment, Col. Yates, paruce to-day as Infaa- try.’ They will meet at 5 o'clock at their splendid drill- room at Lafayette Hail, from which they will proceed to the residence of the Colonel, (who has had the misfor- tine to break one of his Jogs) Their guests will ble at the armory, and all will then proceed to # where they will dine at 2 o'clock. Brooxiyn Ferry Boats.—We understand that the ma- nagers of the Brooklyn Ferries have adopted a plan with regard tothe aot of the night boats, which will be a great inconveniencdto a large class of persons. It has heretofore been thé custom for the boats to run after 12 o'clock once every half hour until morning. Last night anew plan was put in operation, which, we are inform- ed, it is the intention to continue all winter. At 2 o’clock the boats stop, and instead of crossing every half hour, do not go again until past three. ‘Two o'clock is about the time that the printers, and others con: nected with the morning papers get through with their engagements, and many ‘of them liv. ing in Brooklyn will now be obliged to wait, some- times an hour and’a half, before they can return to their homes and seek the rest they so much need. Moreover, there is no necessity for this new move. Nobody is be- nefitted by it but a ew subordinates. It is necessiry that the steam should be kept up ull the time—and it seems to us that it is only putting persons to great inconvenience without any advantage. Suppose, however, that during this time ‘enough was not taken for passage to pay expenses of the delay? The Brooklyn kerry Company is rich, and has beon made so by ihe crossers, and it seems altogether too bad now, that they are not willing to sacrifice a little to the convenience of those who have made them thus flourishing. improve Winviass.—Mr, Hiram H. Nicolls, a practi- cal ship carpenter apd seaman of Boston, has lately in- vented an improved windlass, which has great advan- tages over any now inuse. The body of this windlass is perfectly horizontal, and at regular intervals are cast iron whelps let into the wood,each whelp being the seg- ment of acircle sutficiently wide to admit two parts of the cable or chain to work together in it. Ot these whelps or segments there are three on each line, and the cable, therefore, on the top of the windlass, presents six parts, two in each whelp. Before the windlass, and parallel to it, are two iron rollers, strongly secured to the bitts and beams; and over each of these rollers is a bight, not a turn of the ch By these two bights being placed over the rollers, it will be seen tuat, although there are six parts of the cable on the top oi the windlass, there are but three turns aroundit. ‘he advantages of this windlass over all others are nu- merous; it supersedes the necesssity of fleeting or surg- ing, holding on by hand or messenger is not required, no time is lost stoppering and fleeting it, and there is no danger of its slipping riding, or ruoning out; it can be applied to Capstans, or any of the windlasses now in use; it has also great advantages in bringing a ship to an an- chor, asthe chain or cable in running out can never be come foul, and when it is required to hold on, it can be done with ease. There are several other advantages connected with it which a practical seaman will di-co- verata glance. It has been extensively patronized by the ship owners of Boston. Omsinus Isvosrrions.—A correspondent who signs himseli * Veritas,” sends us the following :— “ Whilst on the subject of omnibus imposition, it may be well to add that the writer, with a fri |, also rode trom Niblo’s on Thursday last, whenthe extortion ot double fare was attempted, but resisted, resulting in a volley of abuse and oaths similar to the case described in to-day’s Herald. ‘Che number of the stage was 239, one of the Merchant’s Line.” We cannot believe that Messrs. Reynolds & Weart are aware of these impositions. If it be required to pay an extra sixpence inthe evening, let us know it, and we shall then know to govern ourselves. Acer the steamboat Columbus, with a large number of passengers, was on her way tothe city on Monday afternoon, the iron shaft of one of the wheels broke, and the boat was thus rendered useless, The pas- sengors were taken off by the Captain of the Troy, on her way from Alban: Tue Ixvincraite Nigut Potrce.—When the old watch- men Were discharged from service and eight hundred new policemen taken from the body of the people, sworn in, @ part to be ever present in time of need in the day, and the remainder to act as guardians of our citizens and their property during the hours of sleep, we had every reason to believe that street robberies, assaults, burgla- ries, and crimes of the like character, would, from ‘nat ume, be on the decrease, and that our citizens could re- tire with afeeling of security in regard to themselves, and that which theyhad acquired bytheir honest industry. But what are the facts? Are the policemen always to be easily found at night when wanted? Some of the streets, and some but little frequented are not darkened bythe sha- dow of a watchman. A stranger at night may be knocked down, robbed and murdered in some of the streets with- in five minutes walk of the Park, and he might caliin vain for assistance from those whose duty it is to protect tum, Burglaries appear to be decidedly upon the in crease. No les¢ than thiee, which were committed on Friday night, have come to our notice, and the offenders have hot been discovered. A barber's shop was broken open at the corner of Duane street and Broadway and robbed of $670 in gold and silver, the hard earned sa- vings of @ poor barber. A fruit store at the corner ot Front and Fulton streets, was robbed of $240, and a junk shop near Burling slip was robbed of about $70. Where were the night police while the men who com- witted these burglaries Were prowling around and making their preparations? Where were they wlile the entrances were being made, and where were they while the rascals were escaping with their booty? At some of these stages ol the robbery, it would appear had the night police been about their business, they would have been discovered. The fact is, the new po- lice have not fulfilled what they promieed. We hope their determined and energetic chief will sift them out ul there shall bé none left but faithful and active ‘To tHe Pvtitte.—Various and conflicting reports being in circulation respecting the affray which took place on Sunday morning, between Engine Co.’s No. Sand 14, aud the papers having given au imperfect account, in which Mr. Dunscomb’s hame is wrongiully connected with the aifray, the undersigned, in justice to the com- pany thathe commands, and its numerous friends, sub- mits the following true statement of the matter :—A gang of rowdies, Who are not connected with the Fire De- partment, more than that one or two of them have at dif- ferent times run with No, 5, among whom were persons known as Dave Scanlin, Manus Kelley, ‘fom, the boat. man, Sam Hicks, &c., who are generally denominated fighting men, after having visited the quarters of our Engine Co., and used abusive language, and calling on them to parade their fighting men, proceeded to a house in lark Kow, from thence proceeded down Fuiton street and raised an alarm of fire.

Six or seven per- sons then went to the secretary’s table and signed the ledge, when another song was sung ; and a speech made | iy Mr Dennison, of Boston. More converts to the faith “walked up to the captain’s office.” and Mr. Dodge, of | New York, then favored the assemblage with a specimen of his eloquence. The professional vocalists now “ struck up” a glee, during the execution of which a delegation from New York, headed by Dingle’s Washington Brass | Band, male their appearance, te the number of about three hundred. Mr. Dodge again spoke ; more songs | were in requisition; letters were read from Morris | Franklin, Esq., and others; and the evening's proceed. | ings were wound up with speeches frum Dr. Reese, and | | a Mr. Parker. CuLvauce NeGLe! | tern, at the corner o1 —It is stated that the public cis- ‘jlary and Pearl streets, though | several weeks completed, is yet unfilled ; so that if ano- ther fire should occur im that vicinity,a repetition of the scenes W took place there so rece: might be ex | pected. The difficulty consists in a misunderstanding | hetween the builder of the cistern and the corporation— the one insisting that the other ought to fill it, and each in turn denying the Liability. Pick rockets,—At the Temperance meeting on Monday evening, officers Felt and Hayes arrested a young man who his name as Viper, who they detected in the picking pockets. Several stolen articles were found in the possession of the accused, and he was com- mitted to prison for further examination. A Mr. John J.

More Licut Fixcerep Gextay.—A_ number of this | tribe, under the direction of “very able Generals,” were onthecricket ground of the ‘Star Club of Brooklyn” stecday, and several attempts were made upon the ckets of sundry gentlemen, who improperly exhibited | their funds during the excitement of the play. ‘I'wo or | three fights were got up for the express purpose of ac | celerating the furtive objects of this gang, and much | mischief would have been done, in various ways, but for the fortunate presence of police officers Coombs and | Haynes, who took into their custody the most prominent | offenders. | Porice Orriee.—Ellen Flynn, charged with stealing money from Mr. Gerrit Brower, of Gowannus, her late penglerer was examined before Justice Downing, prior | i ainst ter at to being fully commutted for trial.

Jacob C, Blackleys, the much esteemed clerk of the Mu- | nicipal Court. No cause could be assigned for the act, except that the unfortunate man had been seriously un- well, and was probably delirious. It was also alleged, that he had recent difficulties with his mother-in-law which much troubled him. [He lived three hours «iter | his fall, and was attended by Dre. Hyde ard Baker, who | were unable to render him any assistance. Mr. Coroner Oakes held an inquest upon the body of the unfortunate man, and a verdict was rendered in accordance with the iacts stated.

Have then the Commissioners, Inspectors, or Trustees, a right todo se? From an examination of the Act it uppears to me they have not. The power of each is specifically pointed out, and to neither is such power delegated.—- Upon whom, then, devolves the duty to enquire into all matters relating to the government, course of instruc- tion, books, studies, discipline and conduct of the schools? | The question is answered by referring to the 4ith sec- tion of the Act—The County Superintendent. He is the officer to contrel in these matters, and under this section I consider him fully authorized to direct the reading of the Holy Scriptures without note or commert. It being the intention of the Legislature that the Holy Scriptures without note or comment be read. in the schools, I am of opinion that those schools in which it is not read, or its reading not permitted, are deprived there. by of all right to participate in the school moneys under All of which is respect(ully submitted. JOHN LEVERIDGE, Counsel.” Witness went on to state his impressions as regarded the true coustruction of the law in case of the exclusion of the Holy Scriptures from the Common Schools, in justification of his opinion thereon, as sent into the joard, of which the above is an extract.

Sruart—Clerk of the Board of Education, | teutified that he heard Dr.Reese use language in the pub- lic schools towards some of the officers rather deroge- tory ; he heard him say that he did not consider Dr. Has- brouck aman of veracity ; the language used by Dr. Reese was disrespectful towards the officers; so far as Dr. Hasbrouck was concerned, the language was personal. The Bibje was the cause of the misunderstanding, a8 to whether or not the Board of Education or the County Superintendant had the power of the exclusion or intro- | duction of the Bible ; it was a continued cause of con- troversy.
