Within sight of acburch, and within the sounds of gospel, thousands of themare permitted to go on in the ‘evil course of life, and passed by unnoticed and apparent- ly uncured for.’ I wish I could say it to the whole church, and express my sentiments to all who call them- selves Christians, for they appear (doubtless alluding to | the limited aumber of persons present, which probably did not exceed 100) to be the enemies rather than the friends of this society; and [ would here ask what iv the cause of this carelessness and indifference on the sub- ject? * * * Hore is a glaas of ten thousand of our fel- low creatures within the reach of the churches, within the sound of the gospel, who are sunk to the lowest depths of iniquity and degradation, yet by the conven- tional rules of society they are tovallyneglected.as though they had no souls to save or no hope for their re- demption, while other benevolent institutions and societies of every particular class, are loudly d ely paraded, and during the present week will “ doubtless receive liberal encouragement.— Such is the fact, and lam here led te ind @ question, andthe question [ put to you is a question of charity. Vor what reason and on what grounds ought this claxs of unfortunate beings to be exeluded from our benevo- jent consideration? And until the refined and intelligent of this city can show that there is no hope for them— that there is no possibility of reclaiming them, they are entitled to our consideration and sympathy. For al- though lost to virtue and respectable sooiety, their im- mortal souls remain the same; and if this fact be sim- ple and clear.you need only to look to the sacred volume for your guide and your rule of condact tow: them. Uni it be established that they are farther from Christ's compassion. and power of bis atoning blood, your work—the work of the Christian church and Chris- tian ministers—is just what is needed in their behalf. (‘Che reverend speaker here alluded to the principles ight by the Savior; the object of his coming to save lief of sinners, &c. He also reverted to the woman that lost « piece of silver and searched until she found it, and the greatness of her joy on the occasion ; and maintained that our joy in stving one soul should be ike her's, 1 once lost, (said he), a gold watch in a filthy sewer, from which it was takon all encrusted—apparently worthless, and must be thrown away; but when | learned that the spring was the same as Ditore, as well as the gold, how great was my joy, for the watch was the gift of an esteemed friend. Compare the outcast of s0- ciety referred to, to the watch in the sewer.**** Is there anything byreason Or nature in the crimes of which tay, sre are guilty, that we should let the immortal soul be given up?” Christian friends, ought this class to be excluded from our consideration and charity on ac- count of what people will say on the subject? Some tell us, there is so much good to be done abroad that they lose sight of this class at home, yea at their very doors. My Christian friends, | havea friend, a great ‘man, a man who is able and willing to aid me; and I never take auy action without first going to him, and humbly and respoctfully asking his opinionas to the course I should pursue ; and, if he approves, I fear nothing for the result. And what does that greatest friend say? What did he say when on earth? Does he not approve? Does he not stand by me, and say,“ Well done, thou good and | faithfol servant, enter thon into the joy of my Lord” ? In conclusion. I would once again inquire, must these outcasts be excluded from charity on the score of the hopelessness of their case? I deny the assertion,and main- tain that the course of conduct purgued towards them is tbe result of a false arrangement of society, without the will of God, or the sanction of the Gospel. ‘The re- verend speaker then proceeded to relate the circum- stances connected with some of his visits to bedsides of embracing persons of this degraded class, equence of the usages of society, had lost all hope of merey, He then concluded his remarks by ex- pressing his conviction that a great change would take place in this respect, and that the Magdalen Society would be the means ef doing great good, and trusted that their appeal for aid would not be in vain. ‘The Rev. Mr. Scuppen next delivered a few able and eloquent remarks on the objects of the society, and the ietitying — that had attended the labors of thore engaged in it. After a benediction by the Rey. Dr, Mason, the wudience was dismissed. ‘The American Seaman’s Friend Society. ‘This Society celebrated its nineteenth anniversary at the Tabernacle last evening. On arriving there we found that building densely filled with the most fashionable and respectable of our popu- lation. Axound the interior were suspended banners bearing various devieos—the most conspicuous of which was the flag of the Marine Temperance Society, organized A. D., 1833. Scattered through the large body of utten- dants, we observed (a great many weather-beaten tars, ‘iressod in duck paritaloons aud blue shirts, with ribbons in their button-holes of their neat blue jackets. Capt. Epwano Ricuanpsox, President of the society, took the Chair,and the choir of the eburch sang a hymn, commencing with “Wake the song of Jubilee, Let it ocho v'er the se Now hath come the promised hour: Jests reigns with sovereign powe An appropriate prayer was then offered, and the Rov. J. Spaulding one of the secretaries of th an abstract of the report of the society's pi 58 tive past year, by which it appeared that a little more than twenty years this society was formed to promote the reformation of seamen. At home it connects with many local societies, exercises an important’ influence abroad ecelpts for the year aro $17,515. Expenditures $17,908. This last sum does not include the amount ex- pended by auxiliary societies on Incal objects, nor does the first include a legacy of $2400 received within a few days. A review of the year, the gentleman continued, exeltes painful and pleasing emotions, ‘The first on ac- count of many disasters at sea; and the second, that of- ficers and seamen have experienced a great change, and commeneed that song that will never end. He them read a letter to the President of the Society from the King of the Sandwich Islands, dated Honolulu. November, 1846, on the subject of the death of Mr. Diel, one of the Society's missionaries to those islands, and the appointment of another, the Rey. Mr. Damon, in his stead, which conveyed a tribute to the memory of the deceased, and an eulogy on his suecessor.— hu this totter, the King acknowledges that the present happy condition of his subjects was owing to the “good seed” sown by American missionaries. It was signed R. C, Wiley, Private Secretary. Rev. Dr. Kxenns, of New York, who was announced to deliver an address before the Society, made his up- pearance on the platform, but being little wearied, he rested a few minutes. Meantime, Rev. Mr. Spaulding di- rected the attention of the audience to the Sailor's Home, iu Cherry street, and the numerous benefits it confers on the sailor, Rev. Mr. Krebbs then rose and T mn vain, From the age of twelve years he has travelled | a the deep. When he left his mother's home he ima- ined there was some! in store for him that would | Beto i eternal benett. je thought he should make » | found it a ‘one. He sought for ‘all quarters of the world, but he never found it. By the blessing of God he was induced to visit a church of God in Boston, where he intended to while | away an hour until the shops would AS ay j@ met with there more than what expected. He | was re ! and in the course by intemperance and accident—by the cholera aud by | wreck, and after seeing all these things unmoved, | God made known his will, that he was one of those for | whom Christ died, He never found himself able to break the habit of intemperance until he wus led by God into his ark of safety. He is here as a representative of the ten thousand, not the upper ten thousand,” but of the ten thousand’ who have been like him saved by the ef. forts of Christians, Ifthe idea is entertained that the sailor cannot be brought to truth, it is a false one, Kindness and kind words are not thrown away on him, The other dw spoke seriously to # drunken sailor about his way of living. Ho talked to him of his mother, and of her kindness to him, which excited the liveliest emotions in him and believes he made a good impression, He then referred to the way in which he formerly lived, and to some scenes that he took in in this city. "He has been kicked out of grog shops, and had laid on stoops and steps all night in Water street. He can now go to those who sold hin) For nine years he wasa drunkard, of that time he witnessed many deaths | the liquor, as well as to the liquor itself, and say—* 1 am | your master.” He cited this as‘a proof that seamen are hot irreclaimable from the thraldom in which they have been so long held, He would say thal | sailors, when they have been reclaimed, possessed a | mighty influence’ in doing good. He has known of | many who have gone into the rum shops,and there, amid all the snares that were set for them, have talked. rmly to the sailors there assembled, and prevailed on them to forego the untasted poison, rum, and reform, Another instance of the influence of the sailor, occurred to his knowledge in St. Cauz, West Indies, by which a Catho- riest, through the instrumentality of a sailor, for- seek the religion of which he was a teacher, and embrac- ed the Bible, and by which several slaves were brought to a knowledge of Divine truth. Ax long as the sailor uses his influence the causo of Christianity must go on. Every effort that is made for the spiritual benefit of the sailor will hasten the time when Christianity will be universal. ‘The sea is now speaking in » language not to be misunderstood, and is verifying the prophecy made by Isaiah. Hitherto it has spoken only by the Dlast—by wreck, misery, ‘and woe—but now ft is speaking In a manner that cannot be misunderstood. A collection for tho benefit of the society was then ta- ken; after which, Rey. A. B. Vax Zanpr, of Newburgh, rose aud spoke as follows :—The sea has spoken and we have heard its voice, He said it was not without deep responsibility that he now addressed the meeting. He stands before them to plead the cause of two willious of sea- man, and ho dare not hazard the hope of awakening any deeper the emotions of the au- dience by any thing he could say. ‘The aim of this Society is not merely to mitigate the hardships of the sailors lot. It oxtends farther, and seeks to renovate his moral nature, and elevate him to the place which he de- serves from his dangers and services. As has been said, this Society commends itself to tho friends of the Bible temperance and the Sabbath. Convert the sailor, an he becomes the most devoted and zealous colporteur, and makes no charge for his labor. We have heard the missionaries say that tho representatives of Chris- tian countries are their greatest impediments. Convert the sallor, and it will be otherwise. He then referred to the progress which temperance is making among sailors, ‘Temperance has won some of ita noblest trophies on the deep. He would love to dwell on the characteristics of the sailor which call forth our efforts in their behalf. ‘Too long have they been regard- ed as outlaws, for whom nothing could be done except by stripes and impritonment. It is time wo retraced our steps. Who are our seamen? Mostly young men who have left families, whose tender anxicti¢s follow them on the decp. | Where will we find a class of men more neg. lected than the sailor? It ia but lately that any thing has been done for their regeneration, and more must be done, We ought toremember the sailor when the tempest roars around our dwellings—aloft in the rigging or struggling with the sea. He then related an inci- dent on board-ship. A fowl got overboard, and was watched with the deepest interest. At first it seemed indifferent, but when the vessel glided away, it made an effort to fly, The sea birds drew around it, oager to make it their prey. The thought occurred to us, what if it was aman? And yet every day our fellow man is lost overboard to sink in the caverns of the ocean. It is for those exposed to these dangers that we plead—to point thelr wandering footsteps to the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.” We have heard of “a life on the ocean deep.” One voyage cured me of all desire for it, but I visited a home this day in Cherr street. which, although not so poetical, is one that if this society did no more, it has done sufficient to entitle it to our gratitude. ‘There the sailor will find paternal counsel and maternal care, as well religious consolation. It is not_necessary to dwell on these considerations. | It is enough that you have been again presented with the results of this self-denying institution, and I appeal to you whether its next annual report shall not be more ‘suspicious than this, and whether it shall ever want for funds to enable it to prosecute the holy mission in which it is engaged? The choir then chaunted the Doxology, and benedic- tion was pronounced, and the assemblage separated. The Colored Grphan Asytum.

In consequence of the unexpected delay inthe arriva of the children of this institution, the exercises did notl commence untit five o'clock, when they arrived to the number of one hundred and forty-five male and female, and took their seats on elevated benches, immediately behind the platform, and facing the audience, forming conspicuous monuments of the philanthropy’ and hu- manity of the patrons of the institution. They appenr- ed to be all in good hoalth and spirits, and were com- fortably and decently clad. Their ages varied from two years to ton, and in their neat, snow white aprons, made an impressive appearance ‘The exercises were commenced by the reading of the 146th Psalm by the Rev. Robert R, Murra; 1}After Mr. Murray concluded, the children were then exercised in their studtes. At a signal made by one of their preceptressos, Miss Reape, n remarkably beaatiful and intelligent young Indy, with meekness, humility, and Christiah love marked in every li ment of her radient countenance, they rose and chaunted answers to several scriptural questions, and sang one or two psalms. They then were examined in reading, arithmetic, geography, &e. &e, and uperintendent. Matron. said that he would make some remarks on the relations of this Society to the other Societies, whose aim is tho same. Those who live on the deep, he thought should be sought out, and Christian effort should be di- cd to their care. ' This society is designed to elevate the sailor, and to promote his physical comfort and con- dition, He then contrasted the condition of the sailor at sea, with his condition in the Sailors’ Home in Ch sirect, where he has every comfort, and the advan- tage of family worship. He oannot better desoribe the fact, than by using somé of the phrases used by the author of * Omoo”—tea, “ which was never sort by the Hong merchants,” and soup which was called “hot soup.” ‘To illustrate the proposition that the promo- tion of the physical comforts of seamen is essential to secure their moral elevation, he read an extract from the diary of a sailor, giving the author's reflections on the condition of the sailor and the way of elevating him. ‘Tracts, Bibles, preaching and praying, &e., were of no use—othor measures must be adopted at the start, the chief of which was to make the forecastle of every ’ ship comfortable, and not allow it to remain in the pg stye condition in which it now is. Amother proposition was that carly education in seamen is frequentiy the means of their *piritual salvation. As au instance he cited a case where the captain of a ship was sick, and thought lie was going to die. He had lost recolicction even of religion, but in his slekness, a prayer which was taught him in his youth occurred to his mind and made a deep impression‘on him. A chauge came over him imme- diately, and he was converted and gathered into the fold of the Good Shepherd. He cited another instance whore # Scottish sailor was retrieved from crime and fin by hearing one of Watt's hymns, which it appeared he learned from his mother. He was transported to the scenes of his youth by hearing it, and sobbed bitterly, From that hour, he was a changed man. Other in- stances of the character and disposition of the sailor, his generosity, his superstitious feelings, Ke., were cited, to show the comparative ease with which he can be Dhris- tlanized, and elevated to the stand he should occupy. He then passed on to the injury which Christianity has sustained by the deportment of sailors, English and American, in Mahomedan and Pagan countries, and il- lustrated it by the aneedote of the sultan, who observing af «indy, took his son aside aud told him that if he forgot Mahomed he might become » thing like that, Pagans will actually say, “let us avoid Christian ity, or it will make us like these English and Ameriean soijors.”” He recommended the society to go on board the ships and distribute prayer books, tracty, Ko. Sw things would be heartily welcomed’ by teu, boeause er meotings aud religious sorviees were ny longer rs to the sailo choir then sung @ hymn; “ Star of peace! to wanderer weary Give the beam that smiles on me ; Choor the pilot's visions dreary, Far nt sea,” Dur, Cuanues J, Jonnt, who we understand fol- evinced remarkable proticiency, considering ther tender age. They then sang the favorite song, to the evident amusement of the spectators— “* Will you walk into my parlor, says the spider to the fly ? Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy,” The exercises of the children being ended. Mr. Week, who was represented as a friend of the physician of the society, read a r stating that, ac- cording to the by-laws, none but children in health, or not afflicted with any incurable disease, are admitted. This distinction, for certain reasons which he set forth, it is found desirable to abolish and to throw open the doors of the Asylum to all orphan children in a destitute condition. Before these restrictions are done away with, however, it will be necessary to enlarge the Premises of the institution, by building an hospital into whie! i ould be removed, and the danger of con- tagion thereby avoided. Todo this the Soci be assisted by the public. Hinam Ketcuam, jety must rose and said that this exhi- bition had beon mad use the society was entirely dependant on the public. It was established by ladios exclusively for the object of protecting, cherlsbing, sup- porting and educating the dostitute descendents of Africans. These ladies make their appeal to the Chris- tian community for help and assittance. They devote their time sedulously to the object they entered upon, but they must be nided—and by whom? Here we live, hero we prosper ; and what should we do with our pros: prvity ? Shall we expend it in eating and drinkin No; he is thankful that there are many who, after su their famitier, have a little—some have much — jo with it? It requires time aud sagacity to find out worthy objects of relief, and here there ladies come forth and say to’ you, here is a fit object of relief. They will re: lieve you of all trouble in the matter. He would ledge all he was worth that what money sight be given for the relief of this Society, would be althtul- ly, judiciously and carefully expended by the benevo. lent ladies at the head of it. This Society had nothing to do with the question of slavery. The friends of ry and the opponents of it, can meet on the platform and relieve the distresses of our common nature, He then spoke of the capability of the colored children to learn, and said that as far as his experience went, they ‘wore as apt to learn as white children ; and, to the ho. nor of the State, let it be proclaimed that in proportion, the descendents of Africans received as much of the school fund as the descendents of Europeans, tion in aid of the society was then made, and vices concluded. From the report of the managers of the society, we gathered the following statistics :— Admitted since the opening of the Asylum,.... .310 Number of children at the date of last Admitted during the present year,. . | Ret 1d to i parents or Fey surviving Number of scholars including 7 day scholars , 163.

It is mow the whole truth, without mystery. of error, or fear of man, that can alone free the human race from ignorance, evil passions, diseases and misery ; and futroduce a state of existence upon earth that shall seoure happiness to all future generations. But who will venture in the present irrational state of the human mind and feeling in favor of old errors, to declare this truth? ‘To announce it, at this period, shall be my le- gacy, for the benefit of both hemispheres. In the New Fork Herald, of 29th April, its talented but somewhat eccentric ‘ashi: a correspondent asks, with great simplicity, “Does Mr. Owen propose to set aside the Christian religion as inconsistent with the principles of truth upon which his new system is to be rou Had what [havo written at various times been duly considered, this question need not now be asked, But in reply:—in compassion to humanity I set aside none of the old systems of the world which have been from in- fancy forced into the minds of all, according to the re- spective latitude and longitude of euch; and being thus forced without one poor human being having a fair chance at maturity of judgment to consider whether they are true or false, good or bad, until mind, feelings and habits are previously overpowered by the mogt fatal local errors, It would be,therefore, unkind, unwise and useless, (be- cruse ft would create anger and all manner of irrational feelings and conduct,) to oppose any of these errors, in their own respective ‘latitudes and longitudes—errora in which, of course, teachers and taught are systematically trained to believe falsehood to bo truth, and evil couduct to be good. I mean, therefore, not to attempt so hopeless and in- considerate a task as to oppose, within any one of these divisions of lutitude and longitude, the long-taught local | prejudices of that division. My desire now is to benetit the human race to the end of its existence; and to effect this result, let those religions alone.and introduce to the world—in order gradually and quietly to supersede their errors—a knowledge of universal truths and self-evident deductions from them, ‘Thus will all prejudices, op- posed to truth or real Knowledge, die thelr natural death, without anger or ill-will being created; and gen- uine charity will take the place of all sectarian animos- ity and irrationality. By this process, whatever is true will abide forever; but whatever is'not true, will gradually fade from the human mind, and for the sdvantage of all, will forever afterwards cease to torment poor abused human nature. T now ask the population of tho world “If they know of any religion which hus trained its votaries to speak alone the language of truth; to have pure charity in practice for all of every other sect, class, party and coun- try, $0 as to love them, endeavor to do them good, and protect them from all harm; to desire to introduce « Just practical equality among all, according to age, and never seek to poesess that which all others may not equally enjoy in the true spirit of a perfect democracy, based on a knowledge of human nature !”? If it knows of any such religion, that is the true one; butifit knows not one having these characteristics, then has the truo religion yet to be taught to mankind. it is now my intention—an intention created for mo by the Groat Creating Fower of the Universe—te leave this new true religion as a legacy for the human race, through all succeeding generations. Its principles aro the unchanging laws of God, easy— when the mind shall be freed from local ignorances—for all to understand. Its practices will be highly beneficial for all of the family of man. ‘The few and simple, yet beautiful laws of God, on which this new religion is based, are, ist. That the mov- | ing power of nature, the spirit of the univerne, God—or by | whatever other name this incomprehensible creative es- | ence may be called, has created the general qualities of humanity, and made one man to differ from another by giving to cach his own peculiar compound of these aman qualities. 2d. That thisever-acting spirit of the universe so forms all men that they are compelled to believe or disbelieve, not by their own will, but according to strongest evi- dence at the time made upon their minds; and to feel, not as they may desire, but in accordance’ with the in: stincts also thus forced upon them by this universal creating power. 2d. ‘That man is thus made to be what he is without his knowledge, or possibility of merit or demerit on his part, and that, aa the created, must have power only to think and act us it has been given to it. 4th. Therefore, whatever may be man’s individual qualities; whatever may be his thoughts or his actions; they all, directly or indirectly, emanate from God; from the unknown creative power of the Universe, 5th. That this power, and not that man, the created, | is alone the author of whatever is and throughout the Universe. It in, therefore, the es. sence of ignorant presumption for any man to pretend that he knows anything of the will or lutentions of this | power, or tospeak and write of it, as do the parrot-taught- unthinking in all countries. The will or intentions of | this unknown power may be conjectured by man, from fecling, seeing, and considering the effects of creation as they exist within himself, and the circumstances around hini; but, until more facts shall be discovered, these im- | aginations will be vague and most uncertain,” | 6th. That these principles, iully comprehended, aro | abundantly sufticient to direct all men to wisdom. good- | m meg appiness. The practices of this new religion w ie reverse ofthat which has so far prevailed over the world, and made it a chaotic pandemonium. Ist. As man makes not one of his own physical, men- | talor moral qualities, or any part of himself, he can | have no merit for what he is ; and therafore all are, by | the law of nature, born with an equality of rights. | 2d. At birth, each one is equally helpless and depen- | dent upon others—not only fer the continuance of life, but for the formation of his character—to make it either | good or bad. ‘To punish men so formed, is not only un- | just, but highly injurious. 3d. It in the interest, or for the happiness of all, that hereafter there should not be one human being trained | by society, to become inferior, physically, mentally, mor- | ally, or practically, and thus prevent the present excuse | for punishing. ith. Society may now adopt measures gradually to ac- complish this result. by training and educating all, in accordance with the laws of God, in unison with their | nature. | oth. And by this simple and pleasant natural mode, | all may be thus trained and educated to be efficient pro- | ducers and distributors of wealth ; good assistant edu- | cators or formers of chayacter, and most benefigjal as- | ant governors. In addition, they may easily ag most | beneficially be made to become their own priest, lawyer | and physician, and to have no need of any military | power to protect them. ‘This training and education will supersede the necessity for any portion of mankind to be formed exclusively for any one occupation, class | or profession—all of which are now grievous evils to the | members of each, and to the world. Expecially are the | so-called learned professions, and those of arms, | far worse than usel and those trained by | society to become members of these classes and pro- fessions, are greatly to be pitied for being made enemies | to themselves and their race, and now to form the mort | irrational obstacles to progress towards excellence and happiness. Truth and honesty with these classes and | professions can never coexist, Yet are many members of every profession and class—such is the natural good- ness of man—extremely well disposed, and will be found | to be most useful, active and efficient promoters of th change which wiil terminate their present position oceupation—for no man knows better the evils produ by each class and profession than its own inembers. 6th. There will be, therefore, no exclusive divisions or separate opposing interests, throughout society. All, of | both sexes, will be efficiently trained, according to age, ble producers and just distributors of wealth; creating, through life, much more than he will | ‘0 as always to increase the real wealth of socie- | ty.

The Board having disposed of all the papers before them, Assistant Alderman Oniven offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:— Whereas, the time has now arrived when this Board is about to dissolve, and the many associations which have been formed, are about to cease; and whereas it is both gratifying and pleasing to testify our approbation of the high-minded, liberal, and impartial conduct of the gentleman who has discharged the arduous duties of Cece officer of this Board—therefore, Resolved, That the course of Niel Gray, Eaq., as the presiding officer of this Board, has been firm, impartial and courteous, and merits and receives onr unqualified approbation. solved, That the thanks of the Board of Assistant Aldermen are hereby presented to him, for the able manver in which he has presided over their delibera- tions, with the best wishes of the members for his future prosperity and welfure. To which the President of the Board made the follow- ing reply : Gentlemen of the Board of Assistant Aldermen—The period has arrived when official connexion as # Board is about to be sever 1; Ah harmony that has gene- rally prevailed during its existence is # source of pleasant reflection; and though many of us met here as strangers, I trust we all part ay friends. For myself, [ can say with sincerity id I presume ! only echo the sentiment of each member of the Board. that the remembrance of the friendly associations formed during our intercourse the past year will be lasting as life. That occasional differences of opinion should arise, in the discussion of subjects before the Board, was to be expected; but it gives me great pleasure to have it in my power to remark, that in no instance that occurs to my memory, has the debate been marred by any indecorous, personal, or political allusions. Our acts, from time to time, have been submitted to our constituents, andif they have failed in any instance to command their unanimous approbation, | may truly say that it is to be attributed more to the imperfection of human judgment, than any to want on your part of a sincere desire to promote the interests of the city. In conclusion, at parting, permit me to express for each of you my earnest wish for your health, happiness and prosperity, and for the uniformly kind, courteous and generous support extended to me, for the honor confer- red upon me as your president, and for the complimen- ry resolution just passed, | return to you, individually and collectively, my sincere thanks and enduring grati- tude.

That on the 11th of April last, on the homeward voyage, he was standing on deck, the captain came to him and erdered him to do some duty, in rela- tion to working the vessel, upon which he ordered the captain aft, saying that he had no business there; that he, the mate, was in charge of that part of the veasel; he then laid hands on the captain, and forcably pushed him aft. The next day knocked off and refused to do any more duty. The defence set up by the mate was, that the master of the vessel improperly and unnecer- sarily interfered with him in the discharge of his duty Evidence of good character was also given. ‘The pri soner was found guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of $25, and to be imprisoned until paid Count or Genenat Sesstons, May 10,—Before,Recor ler Scott, and Aldermen Benson and Purser, Jonas E Phillips, Esq., assistant District Attorney.

Morris Canal declined 44 per cent; Canton, 4; Harlem, * ; Norwich and Worcester, 34 Long Island, 5 ; Treasury, Notes closed firm at Satur- day's prices. ‘The break down in Reading had a de- pressing influence upon other stocks. ‘The amount of specie brought by the Caledonia, which hud been entered at the Custom House, in Bos- ton, up to two o'clock, on Saturday, was $2,642,269 larger amount than ever was entered before by one vessel. ‘The mortgage creditors of the Reading Railroad Com pany have applied for an injunction, and the appoint ment of a receiver, to prevent the issue of bonds at very great per cent below par, for the purpose of liqui- dating the floating debt of the road, and for various other alleged misdemeanors on the part of the directors, among which is the hypotheeation of bonds to the amount of three millions of dollars, supposed to be for stock jobbing purposes, there being no entey of the transaction on the books ofthe company. This is a very serious, and so far as the stockholders are concerned, avery alarming charge, and immediate measures should be taken by those interested to probe the matter to the bottom. ‘The point of terminus on the Ohio river of the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad, from present indications, is courted by both Wheeling and Pittsburg for their respeo- tive places. A committee to Wheeling from Baltimore was warmly welcomed, and it being ascertained that the several points of discussion presented no insuperable barrier to carrying the road there, a revision of the esti- mates of engineers has been ordered. A communication from the Pitteburg and Connellsville Railroad Company was considered by the directors of the Baltimoré and Ohio Railroad Company on Saturday morning. We learn that one of the managers of the Schuylkill Canal Company is at Albany, making arrangements with boatmen on the Erie Canal forthe transportation of coal on the Schuylkill canal during the summer months. ‘The enlargement of the locks on that canal will admit the passage of boats employed on the Erle and other canals of this State, and we haveno doubt a large amount of canal tonnage will, when the rush of business has par- tially subsided on our public works, be transferred to the Schuylkill, and inorease the transportation of coal on that work very much. All that company wants is boats, and that evil will, without doubt, soon beremedied.
