NEW YORK HERALD. er Tua, Waleeaes May 5, 147. The Caledonia. This steamer is now in her fifteenth day. She is fully due. Letters from Italy, by Mrs. JG. B. Rome, 20th March, 1847. 'The Fine Arts—The Banditti of Italy—An Adventure with them on the Road. You have always told me never to correct an error; that they always correct themselves. But in the case I am going to relate to you, It will notdo for time to make amends; for the re- pose of Cleomenes’ soul, [ must anticipate him. In my letters to you from Florence, you recol- lect my abuse of Cleomenes’ great work, the Venus de Medicis, for he was, I believe, really the artist, though some say Praxiteles was. Cleo- menes was a Greek ; the statue bears a Greek inscription. Oh! shade ot Cleomenes, hear my repentance and sincere penitence. Thy poor soul could not repose in peace whilst such an injury was done thee; and I burn to repair the wrong. Ishall tell you how it occurred. All the valets de place were engaged, and my time being limited, 1 could not wait for one, so I took Godfrey, my courier, with me, and went, first of all, to see the Pitti palace. I saw there, along with a great many other objects of art, Canova’s famous’ Venus, in a salon to herself. 1 left there, with his Venus fresh in my mind, to compare that with Cleomenes’ in the Florentine gallery. Im- mediately on entering, I desired Godfrey to en- quire where this Venus was. There were two Venuses in the gallery, and he came back and told me one of them was his. ‘‘ Impossible,” said I, “it cannot be, because it is not near so beautiful as Canova’s, nor indeed any thing at all like sculpture.” So I desired him to go again and enquire. He went, and brought me the same reply. Whether he made the enquiries or not, Ido notknow. With this I left, and went in an instant, the carriage was surrounded with the most frightful looking set of fellows I ever looked at. One fellow seized the head of the two forward horses, and the postillion remained perfectly mute—did not say a word, for he dared not, The other came to the carriage, and de- manded what we had: “ Your gold—your gold.” Tassure you my Italian was of little use to me at that time. I happened to have a very beautiful little pair of pistols in my pocket, which I had purchased only the day before, when I heard of these fellows. They really are what you call pocket pistols, not being larger than a child’s hand. Ihandedone to my courier, and I fired the other; it grazed the fellow’s coat. The other happened not to be loaded. Eliza was say- ing half a dozen Ave Marias, and blessing her- self, and James was shouting. out lustily for his papa. They had but one carbine among them, and that they fired after I fired, without any injury to any one. I think I shall never for- getit. One of the fellows—the chief of the band, I believe—exasperated to the highest degree, put his arm round my waist, and dragged me forcibly outof the carriage. At this moment the sound of wheels was heard, and two carriages came up, one filled with bishops, who were going to Rome for the Holy Week, and also a very brave young Englishman, who was well armed, and had his courier with him, also well armed. See- ing these, they dropped me, and took to flight. Had it not been for them, I suppose I should ere long have been the brigand’s bride. Any thing like the consternation of Eliza Inever saw. I must tell you that when I came to, I found three bishops standing over me, blessing me, I suppose, and the other dashing snow in my face, and James as busy as any; for they had no water, and no house was near. I have told you all I recollect of the occurrence. The old bish- ops and I have been the greatest friends ever since; they send me lots of bon bons, and all sorts of good things. My little pistol I would not lose for the world; I shall show it to you when I get back. James says his mother isa fine soldier. 1 leave for Naples to-morrow, and shall return home in perfect disappointment, as you could imagine by myi letter. That afternoon, in conversing with a gentle- man, I expressed my feelings to him in the same manner that I did to you, and he said, ‘ Surely you could not have seen it;” and then told me it did not stand in the gallery, but in the Tribune room. I immediately said, ‘then I do not leave to-morrow, as was my intention. 1 must wait to see the wonder of tie world.” Thus, you see, I showed 1 had some knowledge of the fine arts. Another would have actually imagined it was beautiful, be it right or wrong; but I condemned it atonce, So great was my eagerness next morning to see this piece of art, that 1 did not wait for breakfast, nor anything else, but off I went alone; and certainly, that gentleman was right. There she stood, in the centre of the room, with that splendid work ot art, the Apollo, beside her, by the same master, as 1s sup- posed. What were my feelings! When I enter- ed, {took a chair, and sat down opposite to her for about half an hour, without ever moving, and wept: tor I cannot help weeping when I look on a beautiful painting, or a beautiful piece of sculp- ture. There she stood, alittle bent in the body, and her head inclining a little sideways. It was about five feet in height, and has such an ex- pression of modesty and simplicity, that it appears asif it only wanted the magic wand of Cleomenes to mike it speak ormove. As when Pretis de Cartona was painting the ceiling of the salon of Venus, in the Pitti pal: Ferdinand the Second came to see the work, and was so charmed with the painting of a child drowned in tears, that the painter said, ‘“‘ See with what fa- cility children are made to laugh or weep;” and so saying, touched it with his brush, and the child appeared to be laughing; and then with another touch restored it to its original form.— When this Venus was found, it wasin a dozen pieces; but it has been so well restored by Bur- narotti, (Michael Angelo) that you can hardly discover there was ever any thing the matter with it. [send you asketch of it. There are also a great many other things there worthy of seeing; but I may say | have beheld every thing, when I have seen the Venus de Medicis. It is the most ex- quisite thing I have ever gazed upon. It is worth taking a trip from New York to Florence to see it alone. I almost forgot to mention the anatomical preparations, in wax, which I saw in the Natural Museum. They are the most astonish- here for the Holy Week, whien I shall give you an account of it. I am almost killed with the face ache. Adieu. Jvprerau Nomixations.—Some time since the members of the bar of this city appointed a nom- inating committee to select candidates for judges of the Supreme Court from this district, and that committee appointed a sub-committee to nomi- nate eight gentlemen, of whom four would be selected by the nominating committee. We un- derstand that the sub-committee have already selected six of the eight, and that they will se- lect theremaining twojin a day or two, and make their report. Some of those who have been se- lected are men whose nominations we are con- fident will be responded to by our !citizens gen- erally. They are:— John W. Edmonds, Lewis H. Sandford, Daniel Lord, David B. Ogden, Hiram Ketcham and Anthony L. Ro- binson, Esqs, These gentlemen are well known in this com- munity, and we think the nominating committee will find it a difficult matter to select four from the eight, provided the two yet to be appointed are as worthy as the six above mentioned. If our future judges are to be men of the calibre and acquirements of these gentlemen, the city of New York will never have reason to regret the election of judges by the people. Tue Mercuants’ Excnancr.—We are glad to see that an effort is being made to increase the income of this company, and bring it up toa proper point. The Rotunda has been used as an Exchange for many years by a large number of merchants, many of whom have never paid the first cent for the privilege. The company have determined to exact from every individual or firm the established price for admission per annum, and we trust that the merchants will promptly and universally meet the demand. The Exchange is an ornament to the city, and an honor to the proprietors; and the mercantile commu- nity should do everything in its power to enable the stockholders to retain posession. Unless a proper spirit is manifested, and a proper income from the building secured, it will fall into other hands, and the stockholders lose the whole amount of their investment. Tae Mexican War in Enciann.—We publish in another part of to-day’s paper, some extracts from the leading press of England, on the subject of the Mexican war. The same spirit which dictates every thing that is written on the other side of the water about America runs through them. The editors of ing I ever looked at. It took seventy or eighty years to finish them. You see every part of the human body there, just like life.— It is really wonderful—and it is astonishing, what a number come to see them. They are among the greatest wonders existing, and so true to nature, that some persons are taken away fainting after looking at them. I had notthe nerve, I must say, myself, to examine them very closely. I went through the rooms as quickly as possible. But the greatest work of all ss that of the Plague, which was executed by Abate Zumbo, a Sicilian, in the days of the Me- dicis. There one sees the terrible details of the plague—there is exhibited the charnal house in all its horrors—there you see the blackening, the swelling bodies—and the rat, as if in the act of devouring—the worm, the tarantula—all engaged in the same horrible work; and the mushroom springing up in the midst of all that corruption. There you see worms gnawing at different parts of the bodies of those in the agonies of death— little children clinging to their mothers, as if just seized with it; and some, the already half- eaten, and others, tumbled one over the other, in the agonies of death. I assure you it made me heartily sick afterwards; but I endeavored to look at it, for the purpose of giving you anac- count of it; because there are those who cannot look at it at all, so true is itto life. You have to pay four or five francs to see it; it is locked up from the public. One lady, after she saw it, was taken very ill indeed. There is a portrait of the artist at onecorner. It has a very melan- choly cast of countenance. Now, you see,1 want to oblige you in every way possible. Nothing in the world could have tempted me to examine this collection as I did, but for that purpose. There are about twenty rooms taken up with these anatomical prepara- tions in wax. | I must now relate to you a little circumstance that occurred to uson our;journey here. You re- | collect I told you in my last, that the roads, of | late, are infested with banditti, and that it was | dangerous to be out after dusk; and so it seem- | ed. We got along very well until the last day. We passed most delightfully the first part of our | journey, without any adventures; but going along the last day, the postillion pointed out to us where a whole forest had been burned down by the order of the Pope, to prevent those fellows from concealing themselves. It certainly was very interesting, but very alarming. The last day we dallied a little too long at our dinner, and were rather late on the road, and [ kept jesting, every now and then: “Ah! there they are”—to the postillion, who was already a little alarmed, thinking he would be too lates bur which how- | ever, our heavy vehicle, we here | use, kept rolling along lazily, for there was « | on the ground, and we just ascending a steey All of a sudden I heard a shrill whistle, and saw at a distance a tall looking fellow making to- wards us as fast as he could. I called out tomy courier to look out; but he, thinking, as usual, jt was nothing, paid not much attention; when, these papers must certainly be very anxious to hear from General Taylor, and from Vera Cruz, and San Juan de Ulta. We expect the news will soon reach them, and give them another opportu- nity of relieving themselves of their superabund- ant feeling. These articles, it will be perceived, are a little Punchy in their tone. Indeed, one might suppose that they were extracted from Punch, or some other paper. Tue Granp Iniumination.—Judging from the preparations that are going on for the grand illu- mination and celebration on Friday next, there is no doubt that New York on that evening, will present a most brilliant and magnificent spectacle. The illumination, it is expected, will be general, and the glare from the ten millions panes of glass willturn night into day. This extensive estab- lishment, the Heratp Buinprnas, will be illumi- nated from 8 to 10 o’clock. Tur New Siuip Creone, now loading at the foot of Wall street, is certainly deserving of some attention. She is really a finely proportioned vessel, measuring nearly 1000 tons, furnished and equipped with everything modern experience and tact could suggest. Iler cabin is a perfect bijou. She was built by Jabez Williams and Son for Capt. Rattoone, as a New York and New Orleans packet. Sreamer Sournerner.—This splendid vessel arrived yesterday morning from Charleston, in the very short run of fifty-eight hours, full of freight and passengers. We received late Charleston papers by her, from the editors and from Captain Berry. Was sue a Pirate or a Mexican Privareer ? —We have received the following report from Capt. Green, of the schooner Thomas Hooper, arrived yesterday from St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica: “Tuesday, March 18th, in lat, 32-11, long. 72, at 5 A. M., saw a ship which crossed our wake, nearly within hail; and by a signal given on board, we supposed all was not right. At 54g saw a gail on our lee bow, which im- mediately gave chase. She proved to be a low black her- maphrodite brig. She neared us so that we could plainly distinguish her crowded decks. She also appeared to be well armed. We have not the least doubt but that she was a piratical vessel. She continued the chase until 6 M., when she hove off for ,a Swodish bark We carried a heavy press of sail all’ night. ‘The next morning our chaso was astern, but owing to the superior sailing of our vessel, we lost sight of her at 12M. Wo believe that the ship and bark must have suffered from this versel.”” Whether this strange sail was a pirate, ora Mexican privateer, or a vessel of war, it would not be amiss to despatch one of our cutters in pursuit of her, to overhaul her if she be a pirate or privateer, or give her a bit of advice if she be a man of war. Isnanp or Cuna.—The ee ae Bulletin sthat a very intelligent Cuba Planter, now uurning in that city, in the course of ® conversation 1 Sunday, relative to the destiny of that island, boldly Jared that he looked forward to the day, and prayed + its speedy arrival, when the stars and stripes should iont over it: He was convinced that a republican gov- ernment was the best to live under, and the best to maintain ‘Tho corner stone of a Presbyterian church is to be laid at Pennington, N. J., to-day, The church is to be built in the purely gothic stye of the 19th century. ‘Theatrical, Ping Tusarne.—By request, Mr. Forrest last might appeared ut the Park in the character of Metamora. ‘This has with a great deal of justice been called his master-piece. It certainly is a great character, and so well adapted to Mr. Forrest’s peculiar powers, that it is emphatically his. The points made, to use the common expression, are not so brilliant as to excite peculiar ad- miration, although there are some good ones in the but it is the whole, the truthful delineation of the noble Indian cl ‘ter, the contempt for danger, the wily reasoning which is so well known to belong to the character ; the cordial hatred, faithful friendship, all these are 80 faithfully pourtrayed by Mr. Forrest, that to one at all acquainted with character of our abor- igines the exhibition appears a splendid achievement. jahmeokee, as played by Mrs, Abbott, is also a beautiful piece of acting. to fact, at the Park, all the parts are well played. After the tragedy the * Invisible Prince” was performed, greatly to the gratification of the fun loving. To-night Mr. Forrest appears as Aylmere, in “Jack Cade.” Bowery Tueatne.—This is positively the last night but two of Mrs. Shaw’s engagement, an announcement that we know will be received with regret by her friends and admirers. She will appear this evening as Mrs. Haller, in the favorite Fase of the “ Stranger.’ We are inclined to say something in praise of Mrs. Shaw’s act- ing, and we would do so, were it not that it is supertlu- ous, She is so well known and so much admired that to do so would be # work of supererogation. The drama of “ Sixteen String Jack, or the Highwayman of Hou low,”’ will be added. Mr, Avexanner.—We ,believe that this is the last week that Mr. Alexander, the great magician, will hold forth in this city—so that all who wish to see his extra- ordinary tricks, have but one opportunity to do so. Dur- ing his stay among us Mr. Alexander has been visited by hundreds of our citizens, whom he delighted and puz- zled night after night with his magical tricks and slight of hand deceptions. We hope that he will receive the success that he deserves in the places that he intends to visit after leaving here. He carries with him the en- dorsement of New York, where he is acknowledged as the most accomplished magician that has performed here in a number of yoars. Vavuxnatt Ganvex.—An hour can be very well spent witnessing Eaton, the veteran pedestrian, performing his t feat at Vauxhall Garden. It will end on Sa- turday next, when that wonderful man will have either failed or succeeded in accomplishing his great under- taking. Baryzy Wittiams.—This young Irish comedian is drawing full houses at the Chat . He has much im- proved in his acting, ‘The experiment of a amall theatre, at Newark, is about to be tried. There is to be a performance to-night, in which Mr. Nickinson, formerly of the Olymplo, an Mrs. Harrison, formerly of the Park Theatre, in this city, are to appear. jarnes is also engaged, and was to have appeared on Monday evening last, but was prevented by sudden indisposition. Success to the enterprise. It is said that the Chesnut street theatre, Philadelphia, is to be torn down. Collins, the very clever Irish comedian, was to take a benefit at St. Louis, on the night of the 26th. Hehad drawn crowded houses during his whole engagement. The Atheneum opened Cincinnati on Monday, 26th uit. Mrs. Mowatt delivered an opening addre: written by herself, There were more than 1,500 persons present. The “Lady of Lyons’? was selected as the opening play, Mrs, Mowatt and Mr. Davenport sustain- ing the principle parts, Signor Rossie, magician and ventriloquist, gives a per- formance at Bleecker Hall, Albany, this evening. Musical. Irattan Orena.—The “Barber of Seville” is to be performed at Palmo’s this evening, when all who are dis- posed to laugh can do so with a goodwill. Sanquirico’s Dr. Bartolo is in itself irresistible, and Beneventano’s ersonation of the merry barber is also a capital thing. tt will be remembered also that Pico sings in this opera. CampanoLoaian Banp or Brit Rixcers.—These re- markable performers are now giving their last series of concerts at the Apollo Saloon, prior to their departure for Europe. Their history is perhaps as curious as their performances are remarkable, We have before stated that thev were not Swiss but Englishmen; they hail from the eounty of Lancashire, and not Yorkshire; from a town distant six miles from Manchester, called Oldham, noted for its manufactories, as is Manchester, and the whole county. They were all taught to work at the dif- ferent branches of trades, such as mechanism, spinning, weaving andcarding, The idea (wo are informed by one of the company) was first suggested to them by an old time-honored custom in many parts of England, of chim- ing the church bells on festival occasions. Having prac- tised bard, and long atter work was done at night, some- times until two and three o'clock in the morning, they had attained & considerable degree of perfection. “They then only used one octave; with these they continued to practise, continually increasing the number of bella used, until they acquired confidence to embolden them to give an exhibition in public. Their first attempt was made at a féte champetre, given to his Excellency Sir Charles Napier, in 1841, at the Royal Amphitheatre, Liv- erpool; there were present on the occasion about six thousand persons. ‘Their success in some of their pri- mary notes produced such an impressson, that the audi- ence could not be restrained from giving their most boisterous manifestations of pleasure. This so discon- certed them, that in the subsequent part of the exhibi- tion they entirely failed. Nothing daunted, howevor, they continued to practise, and finally went to London, and performed in prosence of select audiences of the no- bility, where their success was so great as to embolden them to appear in public. ‘The sequel of their history is already known in England and America, where their brilliant performances have alike astonished and de- lighted thousands and tens of thousands of all classes. ‘They are all young men, none of them over thirty years of age So perfect and well sustained is their harmony, that on more than one occasion, persons haye been led to suspect that they were accompanied by some concealed instrument. ‘This was recently the case at the Presi- dent's house, in Washington, where the venerable Mrs. Madison was so astonished at the performance, and s0 convinced that such strains could not be clicited from the simple bells before her, that she requested permis- sion to examine the table, to satiafys herself if there was not a band of musicians concealed under it. The cloth was removed, but no musicians, nor any instru- ments discovered, save only the Ringers and the magic bells, from which ‘the same soft strains as before continu- ed to flow. Cunusty s Mixstre.s.—Another opportunity of hear- ing these celebrated individuals can be had this evening, at the Mechanics’ Hall. We suppose our citizens will avail themselves of it. De Meyer and Burke lately assisted at a concert given in Cincinnati by Mr. Knoop, the celebrated performer on the violoncello, who has on several occasions played for them at their concerts. Sporting Intelligence. Centaevitie Course, L. I.—There is to bo a pacing purse contended for to-day, at this course. Five of the fastest pacers in the country are entered for the contest. Among the number is Captain Waugh, who has per- formed his mile in public (with Aggy Down and Cayuaga Chief) in 9.27; Village Boy, also, can make the dust fly, and each of the other three have great pretensions to speed. They will make a splendid race, and all who can.will, doubtless, be there, See advertisement for par- ticulars, Foor Race.—There was an immense crowd at Algiers yesterday, to witness the foot race onthe Bingaman course, for a purse of $300—distance five miles. Only two men started: Cornelius Desmond, of Boston, and John Smith, the Mountaineer, of New York. Smith gave up after running two miles.’ Desmond completed the five niles in thirty two minutes sixteen seconds.—New Or- leans Bulletin, April 26. A Mr. Allen, of Savannah, made the following game of 1 ping, on an alley S4jfeet in length a few days since. 30, 10, 120,160, 186, 210, 240, 270, 300, Brooklyn City Intelligence. Hicuway Roeweny ann Prouanur Munven A daring case of highway robbery, and perhaps mur- der, occurred in South Brooklyn on Monday night last. ‘The victim is a Mr, Alva Hotchkiss, clock-maker, doing business at No. 339 Hudson street, New York, and re- siding in South Brooklyn. After Mr. Hotchkiss had finished his business that evening, he proceeded towards home as usual,and when he was in Clinton street, at the intersection of Harrison, ho was waylaid by some rufflans, who, it is supposed, followed him from New York, knocked down with a club, and his pockets rifled of a gold watoh, and seventy dollars in money. Hiscries for help attracted the attention of some persons in the vicinity, who went to the place where ho was lying, and found him bleeding profusely from a dreadful gash in the head. He was removed to Dr. Moriarty’s resi- dence, where he received every necessary attention; and where he remains in a precarious state, It ie doubtful whether ho will survive the injuries, ‘The authorities of Brooklyn owe it to the character of the city to uso every means to ferret out and arrest the perpetrators of this diabolical act; bnt if the police force of that place were greater than it is, it probably would not have occurred. We understand there is but one watchman in that section of the city. Since the above was written, we have loarned that on examining the wounds inflicted on him, it was found that the scull was fractured in two places, and that the blow which caused the most Injury was made in front. It is supposed that he was first struck from behind, but the blow not having the effect intended by the rufflans who inflicted it, he turned round to defend himeelf, and in doing so, was struck another,which felled him. This view {s corroborated by the fact that traces of blood were din- covered yesterday morning around a whole block.which, it is supposed, proceeded from the nose of one of the ruf- fians, who was struck by Mr. Hotchkiss, These drops of blood were tracked a long distance, until they reached a house near the water in Columbia street. On entering this house, the officers who were commissioned to ferret out the perpetrators of the crime, ascended a flight of stairs until they reached a room, the entrance to which was marked in the same way. The door of this room was immediately opened, and the officers entered. The only person they at first found there was a boy, whose answers about who his father was, ko, ke, were vory unsatisfactory, After having made a few enquiries of this nature, the officers heard a noise which they thought proceeded from under the bed, On looking under it they found a woman,who was very much excite at her being discovered. On questioning her she in- formed the officers that her husband was not in—that ho to a lighter, but that he was not tee clunt of thescbbeny and assault’ dhe empitiecn, manner in which this Woman acted, together a the blood tracks to the room, were sufficient, in the opinion ofthe officers, to ae arrest. She was arrested, and a kout kept for her husband, = likewise arrested in the course of the afternoon in was New York. His name is Hawkhurst, and the place where he has lived is the worst of the worst parts of Brooklyn, and in the immediate vicinity of Kelsey's alley. ‘At the last accounts Mr. Hotchkiss was alive, the chances of his survivjng the injuries were, as Dr. Moriarty said, one million to dhe against him, City Intelligence. Muavia.—We regret to learn that an attempt has been made, in the House of Assembly, to tak General Striker, and confer on a junior Major General, the command of our city militia. This we ‘cannot but deprecute—taking a military view of the matter—because it invades, or, rather, destroys, the principle of subordi- nation, so essential to the existence of @ military force, and which prineiple has prevailed in every land since the commencement of the world. If long service and ability is thus to be rewarded in our State, and receive the sanction of a legislative body, in future no honor- able man will accept a military oflice; and emulation, so necessary to the existence of our citizen soldiery, will no longer be found in their ranks, because they will be in momentary danger of being superseded, We trust our legislative military committees, and the members gene- rally, will not sanction (his proceeding, or allow a bill with such provisions to pass, Castux Garpex—Iuivainarion,—Messrs.

Clarke in the chair. ‘The club opened with the usual desultory routine, by the Secretary reading copious extracts from the Highland Agricultural Society on the subject of po- tatoes, proving ‘the influence of the blight extend- the vegetable kingdom, as well as to many forest and other trees. Upon tho cvi- dence of several agricultural reporters, who were deputed to visit various sections of the highlands, and return the experience of their missions, it was amongst other discoveries, ascertained, that’ the orops sown with the newest aud freshest seed, were less affected than those produped from the old ; ‘that those raised from the apple never failed, while late planting, in ry t measure, caused an escape from the disease. A letter from A. Clarke, of Troy, was read, containing tracts from the proceedings of the model farming socie- tes in Scotland and Dublin, the principles of tion, the diffusion of teachers through these countri and the success of the system. The Georgia wine, ullu- dod to at the last meeting, the manufacture of the Hon. Mr. Tyrrell, of Sparta, was received, with several recipes for making vinegar and wine, A committee consisting of Alderman Hall, Gon, Talmadge, and Professor Mapes, were deputed to “try the wine,” report its perfection, and send a portion to the Professor of the State Agricultural Society at Troy, to test its merits also, It appeared ‘to many of the members pre- sent, rather a churlish method of distributing the ‘present; but the duty of analyzing its virtues was consigned to and experienced judges, who, no doubt, will return, as all jurors are conscie tiously bound to do, “to the best of their belief and judg- ment,” a verdict accordingly. ‘The report of the com- mittee appointed by the State Legislature, at Albany, upon the petition of the American Institute for a grant towards an agricultural school or college, to be located in the vicinity of this city, was read. The document contains every fact that could promote the adoption of so popular and indispensable an institution, fortified by irresistible arguments of expediency and absolute ne- cessity, and concluded with the cheering prospect of the ultimate success of the petition—the committee recom- mending strongly the prayer of the memorial. A letter was read from Nathan E. Ely, offering to any member of the club 500 bushels of chareoal for agricultural experi- ments, which may be obtained gratuitously from his fac- tory at Williamsburg, L. I., or 45 Front street. ‘The dis- tribution of the Van Schenck premium of $1000 to be awarded by the American Institute, at the 20th annual fair, in October next, was thus detailed.

Soyo ok cal hoc ceoene sens cree, 6 ‘The planof the Cream Hill Agricultural School, West Cornwall, Ct., was laid on the table. Colonel Clark drew the attention of the Club to the position of Captain De- Kay, and the necessity that existed for promoting & fund, as was done at Boston in the case of the James- town, to defray his expenses in his benevolent mission to Europe with the Macedonian. A committee consisting of Colonel Clarke, Judge Van Wycke, Messrs. Hyde, Williamson, Brush, Doctors Underhill and Field ‘an General Chandler, were named, with full powers to act and carry the proposition through. ‘The advanced hour of the day elicited on the stipulated subject of discussion the dairy, but one remark. Colonel Clarke in alludin; to the infinite inventions of churns, and the diversific process of butter making, stated the following method as the most simple and efficient.

Orleans, ‘The first instalment on the shares was called for at New Orleans last week.— Balt. Sun, May 4, to make all of Good Time that 1s comi = gent, astive tha happy, by Hobent Owens ‘The ex) ce of the past, gradually derived from the discovery of one unchanging fact after another, is now, if wisely and kindly d, sufficient to terminate for ever the very gross state of irrationality in whieh the jopulation of the world, through born ignorance, has kept and is now involved. , It is ouly now that this experience has made it evident to those who observe and reflect accurately and exten- sively, that there js but one true permanent interest among the human race, and which will remain through all succeeding generations. When this interest can be made palpable to the ruling powers of society, they will, of necessity, act upon it, because their own happiness and that of their immediate and «listant pos- terity will depend upon it, and this desire for happiness now called selfishness is that which has been le per- mently and generally toinfluence all that has life. Human nature from the beginning has been created to be thus influenced for the wisest purposes, even us it is now obvious, to permanently secure the highest happi- hess for our’ race, What does the past experience of Seontes now prove to be for their Pighest permanent pines? IstyThat the earth shall be made healthy, fruitful, and pleasant for their habitation. 2d. That each one of the family of man shall be made superior in temper, mind, manner and conduct. 3d. That the human race shall be trained gradually to become one family, united cordially in intercet and affec- tion, and all competition, contests, and wars, between them to cease forever. 4th. That all shall be well educated in a family equali- ty, and well employed, placed and governed according to age and capacity, as in a well conducted family. Sth. That the head of the family sball be alone respon- sible for the physical, mental, moral and practical char- acter given to its children, and each child through a proper education from birth, shall be made, by giving him an accurate knowledge of his own nature, to have purecharity forthe varied character and conduct of every other member of the family, even when at birth, they may have been imperfectly formed. ‘This imperfection itself "being a cause to require from the family more care, attention and sympathy to mak amends, as far as may be practicable, for this imperfe: tion of nature. But in two or three generations, parents will be so improved by those new principles that the na- tural defects of past and present errors, may be confi- dently expected to cease, and a superior progeny or in- fant material be produced at birth. To effect this change, society must be re-organized from its formation, through all its ramifications. Yet the change must not be effected through violence or disorder, but wisely, with foresight, prudently and gradually, It should be executed in like manner as the world is now superseding the old physical roads by railways, or not im- properly called mental railways; railways being emana- tions from mental discoveries through the accumulation of facts affording the required experience. 6. That there shall be no drones or useless members trained in this family; but all. according to and power, shall be made to be efficient. and always benefi- cially but pleasantly occupied for the general good and happiness of the fuinlly, as well as of the individual, 7. That there shall be no more distinction of private property than there is now in a well ordered family: but that the natural er iy a 4 of each male and female shall be amply provided for through life, and more effec- tually than under the existing system. 8. That the great family of ‘man shall be divided into branches, each branch com} of numbers that can be the most conveniently well lodged, fed, clothed, edu- cated, employed, amused and governed. 9, That each branch shall be cordially united in inte- reat and affection, with every other branch, even when they shall extend over continents and the world. When thus widely extended, a friendly family communication may be Kort made daily between them by the light- ning telegraph. 10. Each of these family branches to be always open to every member of the great iamily, wherever two apartments in them are unoccupied and disengaged. 11. That these family branches shall never exceed three thousand men, women, and children, in their usual proportions. 12. That! the land occupied by each branch shall ex- tend, according to natural fertility and other circum- stances, from one to two acres for each individual of all which quantity, under this system, will be ample x their support forever. 13, That dwellings, properly constructed, fire proof, and united to form a large square, will afford greater ad- vantages with Lape ppee pes ty than any other present known arrangements; and thus will all the family branches be relieved from the inferior and injurious af- rangements of streets, lanes, courts, alleys, and all such vicious places for human residences. 14th. The arrangements for business will be upon the same principles; generally in the form of @ square, free, open, spacious, healthy. and as pleasant asthe occups tions which the family knowledge and means will admit 15th, Instead of the present most irrational, opposing. and injurious classification of there will bea family classification and governu: more sim than the present, and much more existing isolated family arrangem: cation devised to produce and well-educate, employ, and gover: by superior arrangements, pli and everlast- ing pastime, and in which there will )~ no wate of ma- terials, capital, or time. Probably much less than the present irrational waste of materials, capital, time and labor, made under the present system of ignorance, poverty. disunion and crime, will be sufficient to build up this new xtute of society, and produce in perpetuity the happiness promised in the millenium. 16th, As man is, to an illimitable extent, the creature of the circumstances in which he is placed ; these family townships to be so formed, arranged and constructed that not one inferior circumstance of man’s creation shall be introduced, or if introduced through error, al lowed to remain. After the formation of regular organi- zation of these townships or family residences, the only slaves or servants found within them will be those of su- perior mechanism and chemistry, always obedient to di- rection. Slaves and servants should be, and in future will be, alone made of wood, iron, brass, or materials without sensation or conscious degradation. Human slaves and servants will be objects too irrational and in- ferior to be seen by children intended to be well educa- ted. ‘The few simple laws requisite, even in the present half barbarous state of society, for the preliminary go- vernment of theso family townships, bave been published in a proposed constitution for the State of New York, with detailed reasons for each of its laws;but after the pre- sent erroneously trained generation, the succeeding gen- erations, educated and placed as stated, to become ra- tional beings will require only four permanent funda- mental laws of humanity to govern all the affairs of the family townships over the world. ‘These four unchanging fundamental laws of humanity A_new classifi- tribute wealth, will be made are. First. That tho Creating Spirit of Nature, or God, has created the general qualities of humanity which form man, and given to each individual at birth, without his knowledge, the peculiar compound of those qualities, which he is thereby forced to possess, and for which he can deserve no praise or blame. Second. ‘That this infant material is given, in the most ductile state to society, to form, or manufacture accord- ing to its knowledge, into an inferior and irrational erior rational being. And thus God and society manufactures it into an inferior or superior fabric or boing, without the pcasibil{ ity of opposition from the material or will of the indi- vidual. Third, That the feelings, thoughts, opinions and con- duct of each of these beings are always the natural and necessary combined results of his organization, and of the influences upon it, by the cireumatancos, whether in- ferior and bad, or superior and_ good, in which societ; places it. And thus, the whole character of man is formed for him, and may betnade by society either good or bad, rogardisas of the supposed frve will of the Indi- vidual: Fourth, That man, like all that has life desires to be happy, and when the means by which it may be obtain- ed has been discovered and made obvious to him, he willof necessity, most willingly pursue it, if sufficient physical and mental power bave been previously given to him; and if they have not, it is his misfortune, and the cause is in nature and society, and the individual instead of punishment requites more care, attention, sympathy and aid, in proportion to his natural incapaci- ty, or the ignorance of society in malforming his cha- or nany generation of adults shall act justly to infants ildren, and therefore beneficially to itself, by m: ing all its arrangements, laws, governments and jnatit tions in accordance with these four fundamental laws of humanity, all anger, ill-will, contests, violence, wars, falsehood, and all crimes, will cease over the whole earth; and the world will be governed by kindners, and charity directed by sound and consistent judgment, in- stead of the irrational principles hitherto alone practi- sed, of force, fears, fraud and falsehood. ‘Thus is the great problem of the age solved, and this is the good time that is coming.

Count—It appearing, upon the pleadings and proofs in this case, that the wages earned by the libellant on board the bark, were paid and satisfied in full, prior to the com- mencement of this suit; and that, although the libellant was discharged from said vessel by the master. it was at his own request, but without the assent or authoriaation of the American Consul at the port of Cadix being shown to have been given thereto, yet it further appeared, that the libellant was again revived on board suid vessel at said port, and returned in her to the port of New York, where he shipped for the voyage, and was there paid off, and gave his receipt in full for his wages and all demands against the said vessel—it is considered by the Court, that the Mbellant is not entitled, on these facts, tocollect by this action three months wages, because of his dis- charge at the port of Cadiz as aforesnid; wherefore, it is decreed, that the libel in this case be dismissed, and that each party satisfy and pay their own costs.

The principal defence was that the birds were killed in Connecticut, and sent to this ‘market for sale, and are not within the letter or spirit of the act. The Court charged, that under the statute the plaintiff has a right to recor for the number of birds exposed to sale. After reciting the sections of the act under which the action was brought, the question, he said was, did the defudant ex- pose for sale these birds in market. On that point there could be no doubt, because it was proved that he sold some of them; the only question is how many he did sell He said he had some doubts as to the other question raised by defendant's counsel, but that would be disposed of hereafter by th court; the only question the jury had to decide is asfto the amount of the ty, which must be calculated by the number of birds he ex: posed to sale and had in his possession in market at the time testified to by the witnesses, in violation of tho statute, Sealed verdict this morning.

Mr, Bab@ock was the first wit- ness called this morning. He proved the receipt of the letter, in which it is alleged the draft was enclosed, or was written at tho bottom of it, but did not prove’ he saw the draft at the timeg the letter was opened.
