tr Dar. ‘This Society egain met at their rooms, Columbig Col | lege, yesterday, Dr. Jackson in the chair. eral ladies were in attendance. Mr. P. A. Bi , of Phi | phia, presented a plan of teaching the Natural Sciences, which wes laid upon the table for the present. It cdn- teins several very useful suggestions, recommending: , classification as the best,plan. It proceeds :— i ints out, with brevity and dis- ations which nature intro- | es ODS - acme { from Its early introduction 2 fect understanding, therefore, must Beceessaiy prove @ ment to a inner If you wh S pepit 22ers etn a ge pon va tated ads whe woariah their young Fete miik,” ‘before his mind’s eve , that Pls suyb he rint i yne of the usual o him acquainted, consecatively, wah ebch pectealar ‘am mal, and he will travelover the ground with weary steps, and with little hope of ever arriving at the distant goal, form this same pupil at once that this eppa- rently incongrusae mass of creatures is distributed thro’- Dutnioe orders, which are clearly distinguishable by natu fal marke--that, with the characteristics of these orjers he can be made acquainted in less than one hour. you will remove & igrest burden from his youthful mind. Thea, if ‘ou inform him that each of these nine orders is suddtyi- Jed into genere, and the geners into species, yon will dissipate all the confusion and perplexity in which the subject appeared to be involved, and awaken in the mind Sf the pupil a desire to proceed in the required investi- tions: ‘hus, by the power of classification, thet is say, by an orderly arrangement of the parts of the sub- ject you nre desirous of teaching, so as to constitute ‘one intelligible whole, early impressed, you demonstrate to the young and tender mind of youth, that the att: ment of knowledge, however extensive, be plain and easy ; you assist him (if | may so express my. self) to bear the burthen of acquiring knowledge, and — you encourage to accompany you in the investiga- tion of subject which, at first sight, were appallin | Dr. Jervuins WrMan opened proceedings uF read- ing 4 very interesting paper on the fossil asteology of North America. Inhis opening remarks he read atabular atatement of alt the fossil osteological specimens usually found, classi/ying the same under their different heads : Carnivora, Rodentia, Edentata, Pachydermata, Rumi- navtia,Cetacee, Aves, Reptilia, and Pisces. The Trico- cus Virginianus was found in Accomac, Virgima, con- sisting of part ofacranium. Dr. W,, after giving a gen eral outline of several classes of the mammalia, and other animals, referred to the great mastadon, or the Ohio animal, which was very similar to the elephant in his tusks and arteology, the grinders ony a This ani- mal had very probably a trunk, and his height probably | did not sw that of the elephant, but must have been longer, with the limbs somewhat thicker, belly Jess prominent. In ite of all these resemblances, the liar structure of his molars, suffices to make him a species from the ele; that he was nour- i H i 4 Es i e ing roots, made for swim! or living in the water, but was a truly terrestial animal. Hus bones are more common in North America tham in any ot part of tae world, where they are, perhaps, exclusiv. ayere They sre preserved than any other fossils, and yet there is no proof to lead to the belief of its living existence. The entre skeletons of mastadons now in existence are to be seen at Peale’s Museum in Philadelphia, at the Museum ‘at Baltimore, at the British Museum, London, and in other places, particularly at the Massachusetts Medical College, Boston. The specimen to be found here have been most admirably preserved. tons of that at Cambridge, and of ene belonging to Dr. Warren, are both confirmatory by Cuvier in | of the en expressed in Telation to this animal. The height f Dr. Wi n’s skeleton is 11 feet, and that of the University 10 feet 8 iac it has been determined by Dr. Jackson that the whole number of ribs amounts to 20. Dr. W. next lanced at the other description of fossil remains—th Jephas primognius, Elephas American' hippopotamus, equus major, Cervus Americanus, rhino- ceros, Alleghaniensis, ovis mammilaris, bospolasii, and the megelomyx. Attention was first drawn to the mega- lomyx by President Jefferson, who published a descrip- tion of some of its bones. The bones referred to by him yas, one, a small fragment of a femor ; and two, “os and six or seven others. Mr. Jefferson’s opi- nien wae that this animal was three times as large as the lion, #ud that thie enimal may hare been as formidable ‘an aninal to the mammoth, asis the lion to the elephant. The megalonyx was su! wently removed from the class“ carnivera,” and among the “ edentata.” After a few desultory remarks from members in rela- tion to the general character of fossils, Mr. Mrics read a report om the subject of boulders.— He snid—I have taken some pains te examine boulders, and have come to the conclusion that they are partially rounded fragments of a great variety of rocks thet ap- pear lying Over one another some tons in weight, and ‘some the weight of oxe grain. Some were found near the surface, others in detretus. Theso merely appear spherical. The smaller the size, the greater the smooth- mess of their surface, and the greater their approximation | tto the spherical figure. He considered it was desirable that geologists should trace with great care the nolled fregments of rocks to the several quarries from whence they were disruptured. There ia but one element in this investivation: * Qued non spera tuo in anno, en! dttibut tum. A French writer remarked some time ago, that the earth was net yet well fixed; and thet the order of the earth’s surface is not yet well fixed. After suggesting the propriety of tracing the origin of boulders, he con- eluded. A hoe Dicxen: spee soreeea:s ee ting discourse on geo! of the vicinity of Natchez —the remains of the Ealomace 1 Zeuglodon, the mas- todon remains of the Natchez bluffs, and the curious non- deseript animal already mentioned in the paper commu- nicated by him this session of the Association—to report separately :—Dr. D. here exhibited a large collection of specimens of bones and fossils. Amoug the collection was the skull of a curious nondescript animal, together ‘with what was pronounced to be a human bone ; with various specimens of sand and minerals. These had been dug trom a singular cliff, beneath a strata of 15 feet of sand, eighty feet from the surface, on the top of which was a large mound, that was ascerteined to be tra- ceable to eight centuries back. This bluff, he“conti- nued, was on the Mississippi, at Natchez. His remarks excited a good deal of interest. Professor Si1ttiman—I consider this the most impor- tant feature of our roconaiaey as yet, and to determine upon its date and history of the utmost consequence— affecting as it did, the long mooted and as yet unsettled question, as to the exact period in the age of the world when mangcame upon it., A Mempe! ested the propriety of allowing Dr. Dickeisonto ue the eatiocs of Me tery. igncening uiries, ‘he bones thus found have been described or classi- fied as those of the nondescript, Megthonicun—Mega toryx horse, ass, bison, zebra, tapur, elk, deer, all of | which he had du ne this bluff, together with vari- | minerals, cups, spoons, pestles, pig- | oriars, &o., Ke. | Jt was here determined to je further investigation | ting researches made by Dr. Dickerson, | soas to determine the era at wuich these magnificent 1¢- lies of o-temove age of the world had de; i this bluf—their natur tire collection exhib: After some desultory conversational remarks by Pro- fessor Silliman, and others, in relation to the perticular time of meeting of the Association, the committee re- ported that the next meeting of the Association will take plage at Bostun, on the 3d ot next September. Subscriptions were here hi iu by members to de- fray the incidental expenses of the Association, for the publication of reports, &c., &e An invitation was received from the “Lyceum,” re- esting the pleasure of the company of the Amociation jor Monday evening. Accepted. Several celebrated French works were distributed, “ Mollusques Vivants et Forsiles; au Description de toutes lee Especes des Coquilles et des Mollusques, &e. ke. ; par Aleide D'Orbigny ;” “ Palcontologie des Coquilles,” &e , by the same author. Dr Recess here briefly offered some remarks as to what classes of animals were in existence at the time of our fi rents; reaving passages from the ‘ Year Book of Fects” for 1845, showing tuat human bones, which it was determined had been tound, and were coevai with the fossil remains of animals found in South America, and Nea therefore traceable to a remote age of the wor Mr. Avorn, of Boston, offered some remarks on the zine mines of Sussex county, N. J., and illustrated them by a drawn section. zine mines had been known jar vearly @ century, th until recently their value he fnot been made Known, Heyaid that the beds weie of igneous origin, aud had been thrown up from beneath ‘the principal d 1 Naa was four to six feet thick, about 600 feet in le: » and could be expiored easily to the cepta of 100 . The value of the ore within these limits was not much less than two millions of dollars, at the | deh market price of metallic zinc, Quantities had been semt to England, and the quality of the zinc was perfectly pure, it containing no arsenic, sulphur, or cadmium. Specimens of the red oxide of zinc were exhibited. They could be distilled in common cast iron pots, Dr Haldeman and Dr. Bacon presented specimens of miverais, when the assuciation adjourned, to meet at half-past 4. . RVENING SE: Wm. C. Reprievo in the chair. Dr. Jactson, before the regular business of the even- ing commenced, gave a very interesting account of the formation of bog and pond iron. He detailed very mi- nutely the principal substances of which it is composed, and the various processes they undergo im its formaty 4. After Dr. Jackson had finished his remarks, he resumed the ebair. Mr. Scnarren next read a paper on the drift formation of Long Island. Tiw ntleman stated that the geology of Long Island was much neglected ; the only part of it that received any attention wus that part on the Sound ; he was engaged, ho said, on the Brookiyn and Jamaica railroad, un moreover lived on the island for a number of yeort,aud was over every part of it, in uence of which us peculiar formation was forced on his notice: ho «ent on to say that the island was divided by ai a have na bar, which stopped the drifts at each side; a part of his theory also was that icebergs were a consti- tuent and the largest of those drifts, and that thu cup- shaped cavities on the top of the ridge have been formed by the icebergs; he also made some curious re- marks on the boulders found on thejisland and on its wa- ter stratum. . Messrs, Emmons, Cozzens, Read, Jones and Gale made i remarks en the boulders of Long Island, and their ty to those found on Manhattan Island, New Jer- i other places. Jac xt said that he had received a letter fom Mr John Lamb, of No. 18 Wall street, the president e Sommerville Mining Company, which stated that prior had read an eounnt ofthe proceedings of the ‘sociation in the New York Herald, which induced him % write the letter, as he had a great variety of speci- tens of the copper ores of New Jersey, equal at least, if ‘Mt more beautiful, than those of any other part of the world, and it would afford him much pleasure in exbibit- ing them oetr ye rps ' of We ‘association that ‘ht be pleased to on him for that purpose fi br the Committee » ‘rolessor Havpeman, trom on the sy- A rh | seemed to him that the | was c | atreet, on a charge of obtaining, | found guilty, but judgment was su nopais of the Colepotera, asked that the committee be ‘the committes’ tivundarsiond teit their it was only meent that they should draw up a what has been done up to this time on of , in order that persons about to in the study of it might know the starting point.

Serr. 4.—Somnambulism—A clear case of that terrible malady, called somnambulism. was brought before Jus- tice Osborne yesterday morning, in the form of a re.- headed fellow called John L. Smith, whom it appears had taken lodgings the night previous at a lodging house kept Sayre “otter, No. 85 Chatham street. A com- been mado by several of his lodgers of having ‘een robbed within the last four weeks, and what was ject; bar re- bark | very remarkable, the thefts only occurred on the nights that this Sinith was one of the inmates of the p: consequent! Cotter laid iy er lodgers began to Smith was seen by Cotter coming down atuirs fu rather a sneaking manner, and upon tak: ng hin into custody, his suspicions were soon realize ir on ine Person a silver watch valued at $9, and $16 lis were found conceuled under his arm, tied This property was identified as be- ofthe lodgers, Mr. Alexander Derlish, whose pookets had been ri by this scamp while he Jad asicep. The beauty of the joke was, that when th: prisoner was brought before the magistrate, and asked y that funetionary what he had to say in relation to the | matter, the property having been found on his person.he stated that he was unable to account for how, or in what manner the property came om his person, except from the fact of bis being troubled with heavy dreams, which gave him the “ nightmare.” Macisraatr—l RAEDOR you mean you are troubled mnambulism you ever in Boston ? P ‘Yes, sir; it was in Boston, that I had the a attack.

There, (handing the officer a commitment,) ‘good-bye John.” At this last remark, the whole court room was convulsed with laughter, but not much to the gratification of the somnambulist. Grand Larceny.—A black fellow called John Ambrose was arrested yesterday, by officer McCorde of the Sth ward, ona charge of ste: » @ shot bag containing $41,- 70 inspecie. On Mog taken to the station house, and * frisked,” the officer found on his person $25, evidently a portion of the stolenmoney. Committed for trial by Justice Osborne. Charge of False Pretences.—Offcor Burley of the low- er police, arrested yesterday, a man by the name of Charles N. Mills, Jr., one of the runt rokers of Wall or detaining a billof ac- ceptance, dating August 19th, 1846, at Seneca Falls, N. Y, drawn by Kipp & Brown of this city, for the sum of $550. It appears that this acceptance wes owned by Mr. A. each, of No. 497 Hudson street, who hande the sameto Mr. John F. Conrey, broker, Ne. 60 Wall street to ascertain what he could get it discounted for, and Mr. Conrey handed itto the accused, (Mills,) { him to ascertain the fact, but with strict injunctions not to get it cashed, but to return in halfan hour and let him know,—this was on Tuesday afternoon. Nor did he re- turn according to promise, but was met inthe street by Mr. Conrey, and was told ral falsehoods by the ac- cused in relation to the Mr. Courey has since discoverd by Mr. Fe: io Wood, that the clerk of Messrs. Clark & Dodge, who cashed the check for five hundred and some dollars, to a man by the name of James McMillan, that check being the proceeds of the acceptance, given by Mr. Wood. ore, upon these tate of facts, Mr. Conrey swears that he has been fraud- ulently and by false ‘representation defrauded out of the abeve acceptance. Justice Osborne committed the accused to the Tombs for exam:nation. Intoxicated in the Street.—Officer Murphy of the 14th ward, arrested yesterday, Mrs. Margaret Mitchell, in a [oe state of intoxication, in Broadway, in front of the lympic Theatre, with a crewd of spectators around her The officer conveyed her to the police office, Essex Counsellor MeGey Neeriag ot her inearate pete ounsellor McGay he: of her eration, a) to the magistrate, and procured her discharge, tad then removed her to her residence in White street. Till Thieves Caught.—James H. House and Timothy MoCauley, were both caught in the ast of robbing the money drawer belonging to Wm. Minck. Locked up by Justice Room. Petit Lerceny.—Conrad Auble, a small boy, was caught by officer Seely of the 7th ward, in the act of car ryi a piece of mahogany belonging to Mr. Con- si Locked up. 1 Allen, an old petit thief, was arrested last night by officer Chambers of the 5th ward, having in his posses: sion a valise valued at $5, belonging to Mr. John Cast- nack, No.1 Wallstreet; he was endeavoring to sell it when arrested by the officer. mm tor trial. «Rowdyism.—Officer McDougal of the 5th ward, arres ted a young rowdy fellow called Benja. F. Brady, oo and disorderly in Church street last night, likewise interfering with the officer while in dis charge of hisduty. Very Suspicious.—A fellow called Thomas Reed, was discovered at a late hour last night, secreted in the Greenwich Theatre, under very suspicious circumstan- ces. Taken before Justice Roome and committed. Speciai Sessions. Before the Recorder and two Aldermen. Henry Hawkins was the first on the list, and was called to account for an assault upon Mr. Mercer, of the corner of Ann ond Nassau streets. He was convicted of the as- sault and sent to the city prison for 3 days. Ann Haggerty was cl with stealing a worked collar wo! Ena adollar, from Maria Develin. App was’nt gull ity, so said the court, and therefore she was arged. Walter Covk was sent to the itentiary for 6 months for Marre Mopac officer Barnes. William Henny was tried, found guilty ,and sent to the pees igs for stealing a pair of pantaloons ‘worth $3, Vandyke, Johnson, and Smart were next called, and three negroes decidedly ugly, made their appearance, and were convicted of stealing a lot of baskets from somebody. Vandyke was sent to the city prison for 10 days, John- son was sent to the penitentiary for 1 month, with Smart to keep his company. Mary Hardman was sent to the city prison for 10 da: to expiate the crime of st a coffee pot and a bru: Mary Mc Dermot was next tried for ily beating son, John McDermot.

John Donovan was sent up tor a month for being caught soit six mats of cassia from one of the Albany tow ts William Allen, alias Edmunds, was sent to the peni- tentiary for 2 months, for stealing a valise. Hridget Norton was sent to the city prison for 6 days, for steuling a shirt from William Woods. Afwer some other trifling business, the court adjourned till next Tuesday morning. From Tur Cnrrokss Counrny.—Great excite- ment had arisen among the Caerokees, on ac- count of a Cherok: an, named Rupabout, who was seized without limits of the military re- serve at Fort Gibson, taken to the dragoon quarters, stripped of his shirt, and tied up and severely whipped by the order and in the presence of Lieute- iy month, for nent Gardner, of the United States Dragoons. “Ot what of thisman had been guilty, if any, we have not been able to learn.” says the Cherokee paper, “further than that @ man named White Path, bly Runabout himself, had got into a quarrel soldiers, But be the cause alleged for this resort to Lynch Law and the character of Run-about whetever they may be, there was no necessity for it, and we hesi- tate not to denounce it as one of the most high-handed, outrageous and illegal acts that has ever been perrti trated in the Nation We pretend not to state the full particulars of the affair, but simply the fact that this Monstrous outrage has been committed; and we invoke for it the attention of the agent for the Cherokees, and the superior military officers incommand here, Col. Loomis and Gen. Arbuckle. It is too glaring to be possed over in silence, and the public has a right to know, whe- ther a subaltern officer cancome within our limits, tie up an Indian, whatever may be his character, and mob him with impunity, almost in the very presence of the commandant of a military post. Latest rrom Fort Leavenwortn.—The steam- boat Archer arrived at this port yesterday from Fort Leavenworth. She left there on Sunday last. We regret to have to announce th ath of Lieut. Col.

The stock market does not improve, but, on the contra ry, there appears to be a tendency towards a further de- cline. North American Trust and Harlem were the only fancy stocks in the list that improved—the former having advanced }§ per cent, and the latter %. Norwich and Worcester, Reading and Long Island, left off at yester. @ay’s prices. Morris Canal declined 34, and Canton 34. ‘The transactions in the aggregate were very limited, and confined principally to Reading and Harlem. ‘We cannot account for the existing depression in the stock market. Money is comparatively easy—the banks make loans freely on stock security at seven per cent, ‘and discount business paper of the right sort, having a short time to run, liberally. There is a very good busi- | ness doing, and all classes of merchants are actively en- gaged in trade; notwithstanding which there ts a down- ward tendency in quotations for all kind of stocks—the really good, as well as the really bad. ‘We conceive it hardly possible for this state of things to continue much longer. It is along time since there has been a speculative movement to any extent in the stock market, and when the margin for an advance gets wide enough to make good operations, there will be, without doubt, an attempt made to get the outsiders once more into the traces. Many of the leading brokers in the street are at present bearing the market, undoubted- ly with a view to inflate prices very rapidly, when things get ripe for such a movement. The Britannia, at Boston, from Liverpool, brings fifteen day’s later news from all parts of Europe. The advices, politically or commercially, are of very little importance, and possess very little interest. The markets generally were in a healtny condition, and money abundant for all business purposes. We shall not have another steamer for a fortnight, the Great Britain being detained for re- pairs at Liverpool.

The steamship Alabama bad arrived from Bra- | Sos Santiago, whence she sailed 24th ult. Keport says that Gen. Worth, with 2000 men, | had left Camargo, and had proceeded 25 miles | towards Monterey | Captain Duncan returned to Camargo on the llth, from his reconnoisance into the interior. .. | Captain McCullogh, who wae along with his ran- gers, had killed a Mexican, who was on an Ame- rican horse at the time. | Captain Duncan marched into Patna Aquado * | jp the night, and took the place, having killed one Mexican and shattered the arm of another, while they were attempting to leave to escape. Capt.Duncan next marched to Seralvo,where he | arrived and possessed himself without molesta- tion. After reconnoitering he left the town, and returned to Camargo by the way of Agna Segnas and Meir. It is thought that Seralvo will be made a depot, having a commanding position and good water. It was said that the Mexicans were concentrat- | ed at Monterey to give our forces a fight. A body | of 1000 well appointed cavalry had arrived at Sal- | tillo. A large force of mounted men had been sent to cut off Col. Hays. Gen. P. F. Smith arrived at Camargo on the 11th, and was to take command of the 2d brigade, composed of the Sth and 7th regiments of U. S. infantry. The weather had become very hot at Camargo; the troops continuing healthy nevertheless. There were 10,000 volunteers, and 300 regulars on the Rio Grande, and more constantly arriving. The movement of the troops took place in the night. An American citizen had arrived at Camargo onthe 14th ult., from Monterey, who reported that there were at that place 8,000 rancheros and 4000 regular troops. Capt. Duncan had gone out again en a recon- noitering excursion in the direction of Jeralma. Well informed men thought it would be impru- dent for General Taylor to move upto Monterey, | with less than 10,000 well disciplined troops. General Taylor has had to use harsh measures | with some of the rum venders, hanging about his camp. The Picayune Extra says that Gen. Worth had not left Camargo on the 15th, but was to start from there the next week. | Campeachy dates, via Havana, to the 5th ult. ‘on | had been received at New Orleans, which state | that some outbreaks had occurred at Yucatan, but they were of an unimportant nature. Capt. Gregory, of the U.S. frigate Raritan, at | Pensacola, had received orders from the War De- | man or vessel of war, to carry despatches to Cha- | ges, from thence to be conveyed to our squadron in the Pacific. The brig Perry had been selected | for that purpose, | A vessel had arrived at Now Orleans from Alva- rado. The Picayune says-—“ This shows that the | siness, as Alvarado is asconvenient as Vera Cruz, | and at that place vessels find no difficulty in passing to and from.” | ———— | BY THE MAILS. | Bautimone, Sept. 4, 1846. | Military Preparations—The “ Box Game”—Army Sup- | plies — The Alexandria Retrocession — Triumph of Young Democrasy—Arreat of Burglars, &2. $c. | The approaching anniversary of the battle of North | Point will be celebrated in this city by one of the great est military displays witnessed here fora number of years. A number of companies from the country round propose to visit the city, and Capt. Barrington’s cavalry troop from Philadelphia will be present. | The “box-game” gentry, from New York, are driving | a thriving business in this vicinity. Tho captain of a Pennsylvania canal boat was stopped terday, in the lower part of the city, by a genteel-looking young man, and asked if he could take a dozen barrels of freight On cing answered in the affirmative, they started off toge ther to settle the business. On their way to the wharf, a third party, with @ small box in his hand, to inquire where the French Museum was, that he had a great curiosity, which he desired to deposit there. The box was then exhibited, and the freighting friend of the captain borrowed $16 of the latter to bet on the fact of a piece of paper being inthe box, which, of course, he lost, and then started off ina hurry to obtain the money to refund, but has not since been heard of. ‘The brig Planet is now loading at this port for Brazos Santiago, with wagons, oats and provisions for the army.

The anti retrocession yote is composed entirely of property holders, and it is believed the 230 are # er in this view of the ques- tion than the whole 760 in favor of the measure. The defeated party are, of course, in a terrible passion rela- tive to the result, and I learn that a meeting will be im- mediately held for the purpose of raising means to test the constitutionality of the act before the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Webster is spoken of as their ad- he saving jitively asserted that it was uncon- stitutional, end there was no doubt but that the Su- preme Court would quash all the hed in the case. | Tho number of arrivals in this city daily from the South and West is becoming immense, and the numerous hotels are rapidly filling up.
