NEW YORK HERALD. | * Sane, Suncag, wren 8, Une Weekly Herald. ‘The second edition of the Weekly Herald is now ready, and can be bad at the desk, in wrappers ready forthe mails, at sixpence a copy. It is illus- trated with a splendid view of the new Grace Church, consecrated yesterday, and a graphic em- bellishment of “ Terminaticg the Joint Occupancy in Oregon.” Opening of the Spring Season. Spring, with its delightful smiles and cheering promises, begins to show its face. Soon we may hope to see the dreary snow and ice, the cold and cheerless gatherings of a long and dreary winter, vanish before the joyful rays of the sun of spring. Happy season! when nature, revtving, puts on the green garment of hop», when the influences of a | milder sun produce a cheering eflect upon the mind. | We have come through a long period of dreary de- | solation which has not been without its correspond. | ing influence upon the mind. Joy revives at sight of the prospect before us, and as the sun dissolves the ice bound elements of nature, so the mind seem- | ed relieved from the chilling and contracting influ- ences which bound it up. What a picture of life, and, we may say, of death ! Thus the world passes away; old age with its hoary head and cold sensations is like winter; while joyous youth is represented by the green and cheerful days of spring. But as this season is beau- tiful, so it is but short, its duration is for a moment and it soon passes away. Let us learn a lesson from the seasons which pourtray with such fidelity the changing scenes of our brief existence. Let us regard the cold dreary stage of winter as a salutary preparation for a better season, and for a time when richer fruits will flow from the very pains and difli- culties and sorrows which we undergo. Let us Jearn, from the green and transitory picture of youth- ful spring, to know and understand that the time of | maturity and fruit-gathering is not. yet arrived; that | now is only the season for labor and preparation, or | else there will be no harvest. Thus the aged need | not repine, and the young may not be too confident | and boasting; both seasons are only a preparation | for others—both pass away, and, as we have sown in both, so shall we reap hereafter. Itis tobe hoped that the budding, blossoming | season, now so rapidly approaching, will have its proper effect and influence on the politicians, as | well as on all other classes in society. Benevo.ent Instrtutions.—We are indebted to | Wm. Chapin, Esq , Superintendent of the Ohio In- stitution for the Education of the Blind, fora copy of his very interesting “Report on the Benevolent Aastitutions of Great Britain and Paris.” This re- port is supplementary to the ninth annual report of the Ohio Institution, and contains Mr. Chapin’s in- | port yesterday. fhe Revolution in Ya atan —Anuexation Of Me xieos The Yucatecos, fin ling all the promises of the | Mexican goverament to be talse, and incensed by is tyranates! extctious, have again thrown off the | yoke, and raised the banner of the “five stars,” throughout the peninsvla. They declare that they “ are now determined to spill their last drop ot blood in detence of their liberty and independence, and would rather die in battle or on the scaffold than submit again to the Mexican Goverament.” Icis evident that the experience of the past will prevent lem from being deceived into laying down their arms again by the liberal professions which such governments as Mexico always make when they ere too impotent to strike an eflectual blow. This revolution is one that wiil probebly result iv independence or extermination. The people of Yucatan are wearied of Mexican oppression; they envy the peaceful security which the Texans have obtained under the protection % the United States, and they long to enjoy similar Blessings. The last news received {rom Yucatan states that they have resolved to send a delegation to Wash- ington to confer with our government, and, if possi- ble, obtain protection and assistance. Whether this will be immediately granted or not, it 18 diffi- cult for us to determine. ple is, however, always warmly excited for those who are battling for freedom and human rights; and there is no doubt that Americans will take a leading part in the councils of Yucatan. That glo- rious country, the New England of Mexico, wil] then ultimately be annexed to the United States by the peaceful and voluntary consent of its citizens. Thus rapidly advances the destiny of our Repub- lie. Yucatan is about to seek its shelter—California is fast filling up with Americans, and will soon fall peacefully into our arms—all Mexico will soon follow, und the American eagle, soaring to the sum- | mit of his glory, will spread his mighty wings over | the whole continent. But would it not be better to merge at once the whole of Mexico into this happy | Union, than to add a slice like Yucatan to-day, and | another slice like California to morrow ? This is the simplest way of doing the business. Arrival of the Packets—Wrecks at Sea. We are pleased to state, that four of the packets so anxiously looked for made their appearance in ‘They have suffered considerable in sails and rigging, from the extreme severity of the eather; otherwise, however, they have sustained little or no damage, and will be able to take their | places in their respective lines, and leave on their re- | gular days.

A. inmates engaged in various manufactures, such as shoe and basket making, weaving, knitting, making twine, mats, sash cord, sofa and chair cushions, fric- | tion gloves, hair matresses, woolen shawls, car- riage boots, &c. Asan instance of the amount of work accomplished by the bliad, ia the Glasgow asylum alone, where there are but ninety inmates, Mr. Chapin says that the total sales of the past year amounted to £4639 2s 41, or $22 44800 The benevolent institutions of Great Britain are mostly supported by denations, contributions, and payments from pupils’ parents, in good circumstances ; while in Paris, they receive liberal patronage from the goveroment. The education of the blind 1s also much neglected in England ; while in France, great attention is paid to both music and mental instruc- tion. Mr. Chapin, however, does not “regard the workshops of the blind, in Paris, as producing the highest good, or as producing results equal, in point of utility, to the asylums in Great Britain.” In the French institutions, the blind inmates are encouraged to marry, and the report states it as a | “fact worthy the notice of those making p'ysiolog.. | cal inquiries on such subjects, that, of all the chil- dren born in the Hospital Royal des Quinze-Vingtz for the last twenty years, of parents cne or both of whom were blind, not one has been born blind or become s0 since.” The difference between the British institutions | M for the blind and those of the United States is, that the former are almost entirely manufacturing es- tablishments, while the main object of the latter, thus far, “has been to teach, rather than employ the blind.” Mr. Chapin is inclined to think that the | American principle is “the best on which to con- duct educational establishments.” He is ef opinion | that the two branches of instruction to the blind should be kept separate and distinct, having some asylums for their mental improvement, and others for their instruction in manual labor. | The number of white blind persons in the United | States, compared according to the population, is | considerably less than half the number as given for Great Britain, there being in the latter country one blind person to every 1,250 persons, while with us there is but one in 2,824. “{n Great Britain there is one blind person in the schools to every twenty-two of the whole number. In the United States, assu- ming the present number of blind at 6,500, there is one to every seventeen in the institutions.” Mr. Chapin complains that “Congress has aided colleges and schools by donations of land, but it has done nothing for the blind.” The investigations of this indefatigable gentlemen | were not confined to the asylums for the blind. He searched through numerous institutions for the deaf and dumb, and hospitals for the insane, striving to gather facts which might aid the progress of benevo. | lent institutions in this country. The result islaid | before the Ohio Legislature and the American pub- lic in this report, which has been published in pam- phlet form, and is well worthy of the perusal of all those who take an interest in the welfare of the un- fortunate of our race. Lrmgrat Commenctat Potrcy.—The whole world is indebted to some one, for the noble perseverance | all with which he hes long battled against the tariff system of England, and finally succeeded in achiev- ang the victory. The force of this example wil agitate the people of all nations whose commerce is cramped by onerous, and artificial restrictions, and lead to the adoption of a liberal ,commercial policy throughout the world. The effects of the movement upon our own coun- try, in strengthening the tone of popular opinion, and changing the aspect of political parties, are ol- ready “bold, palpable, and visible.” The happy re- sult is notfar distant. By the late news from Eu- rope, brought by the Toronto, it will be perceived that | experiet | the time. | crew had been living in the foreto; “Custom-House Reforms,” vre about taking place in Austria. It is stated, that the movement will be- gin, “by levelling the barriers raised between Aus- tria proper and Hungary.” The confederated can- tons of Switzerland, are also said to be thinking of imitating the liberal policy of the Zoll Verein. Thus is the co itineat beginning to move in the matter. That the whole seriés of high tarifls will ulumately be abolished, no one can doubt; and then the first great step will have been taken to do away with war and make men respect their com- mon brotherhood. We shall watch with great in- terest every inch of progress made towards the adoption of @ universal, liberal commercial policy ; and, from time to time, communicate our views on the subject to our readers. A higher regard for in- ternational rights, and amore general attachment to peace, than the world ever knew before, are the grand distinetive features of the nineteenth centu. | pty | oan ry, and the noblest fruits of & pure Christianity. | denas—which place | } Eldridge, sailed from Liverpool on the 13th January, ‘ing continued gales {rom N W and W 8 W., with rain, sno v,and hail. interspersed with thunder and lightning.

This beautiful church, of which we give the above | illustration, was consecrated yesterday. Before | the opening of the doors, a large crowd had gather- | ed around, and when they were opened, those hav- | ing tickets filled up the church,with tae exception of anumber of pews reserved for the clergy. The church was filled with one of the most beautiful and fashionable congregations we ever saw gathered | together. Youth, elegance, and jewelry, were com- | bined, and the colored light, shining through | the stained ‘glass windows, made the coup d’ail rich in the extreme. The church is very showy, | but lacks in an appearance of stability. The beauti- fully stained windows, the high arches, and the long | drawn aisles, however, impart a feeling of awe | and wonder. At 11 o’clock the procession of | bishops and clergy, which had formed ata house nearly opposite, entered the church, led by Bishop | McCosky, reading, in solemn tones, the consecra- | tion service. This was read throughout by the Bishop, when the sentence of consecration to the ‘ worship of Almighty God was read. After this, a | fine anthem was sung by the choir, accompanied | by the rich tones of a very fine organ. The morn- | ing prayers and service, with the collect, were read, | together with the 81th, 1221 and 132d Psalms; to- | gether with the 8:h chapter of Kings. The 2d and 8rd verses of the 2lst Psulm were then beautifully sung—then the 100th Psalm of the 79th collection was sung. Toe consecration service was read by the Birhop; the sentence of consecration by the Rev. Dr. Berrien; the morning prayer by Rev. Dr. Wain- wright; the firet lesson by Rev. Dr. Lyell, and the | second by the Rev. Dr. Cutler, St. Ann’s, Brooklyn. | The ante-communion service was read by the Bish- op. Dr. Taylor took his text from the 8h and 9th verses of the second chapter of Haggai—*The sil- ve mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of the glory of this latter honse shall be reater than the former, saith the Lord ot Hosts, | and in this place will I give peace, sauh the Lord of Hosts.” Tnese words were epoken by the prophet to the people of Israel. When their | spirits were at'rest, he sought to rouse them from their lethargy. The language may be regarded asa direct assertion on the part of God that the bound- less treasures of the universe belonged of rightto him who made them, and that the means should never be wanting for the accomplishment of His glory. Although it may be said that outward glory can never udd to the glory of God; that the prayer which rises from the heart of the repentant sinner in the rude hut, is as acceptable as tnat which goes up from the most gorgeous dome, and the house en- riched with the most beautifal productions of all parts of the world ; yet, it would be a mean and nig- gardly act for us to set apart a coarse place for the | worship of God, while we, ourselves, continued to live in luxury. Ia every age of the world people have erected places of public worship, and always | adapted to the circumstances of the country. So I trust it will be in this, our country. [n our infancy it will be expected that our houses of worship should be of the simplest construction; but as God blesses hs | us, and we increase in numbers and wealth, it 13 our duty to devote the best of everything given by | our Master, to that Master’suse, so that monuments of his glory shall stand forever. Nothing must be kept back, in learning, science, architecture, or the | mechanic arts, so that their ‘harmonious Propor- tions and beauty shall awaken sentiments of re- verence, and stand for generations, as examples | of the civilization and christianity of the age which , built them.
