This was a meeting of the temperance s0- cieties’ supporters in general, for the purpose of raising money, in order to refund to J. W. Oliver, Esq., editor of the Organ, the sum of $250 fine, and costs, incurred by him in consequence of a judgment rendered against him, ona suit for libel against the Messrs. Matthews, of the West- chester House The meeting was called to order at 74 o’clock, when Dr. Peck was appointed chairman. singing, by the choir of the M. E. Church, along prayer was made by Mr. Lee, We believe tho gentleman, with many others,calls himself, and is called by some, “Reverend.”? But we doubt very much the pro- priety, honesty, and even morality, of calling & poor miser- able human being, by such a flattering title. It is a name of The Most High, as is sald in the 111th gentlemen, would descend @ little, to and oall themselves lorde, dukes, marquises, or vis- counts, we should feel no conscientious scruples, in giving them such minor and inferior titles, though even that would be contrary to law. Another reason for not giving this high and oelestial title to this gentleman, wastie oration he made, which we believe he tho: Tt was, in fact, a declamation, includin wivded eulogy upon man, upon his wonderful effor' reat labors and his wondertul works; and, most ly, upon this wonderful work, in particular. viz: the raising money for a newspaper editor in New York. Also, the so called prayer, contained a lie. no one opposed to the present party could offer up the prayer of faith. We unbesitatinaly affirm, that whoever really does offer up the prayer of faith, must necessarily and inevitably be opposed to such, and to all such like exhibitions oflawiess warfare against their fellow crea- ‘wares of pious denowinations; against all who are not ‘of them, ’and furthermore an exhibition of ptousself-conoelt, pride and self-exaltation.

Sweeney. The most brilliant ball of the season came off last night at Castle Garden, as a compliment to Lieut. Sweeney, for his glorious conduct, as a soldier, in the baitles of Mexico. Atnine o’clock, a stream of beauty began to pour from the ladies’ dressing room, into the large room below, which continued tor about an hour; after which, about five hundred of the fairest daughters of creation, were moving to, and fro, as it that was the last evening of enjoyment. The bugle then sounded the call'te the floor, which was promptly obeyed, and the dancing began. Several sets had been ‘one through with, when it was announced that Lieutenant Sweeney had arrived. The band struck up the soul-stirring air of ‘Hail Columbia,” when Lieutenant Sweeney, aceom- panied by the committee of arrangements, snd invited guests entered the room, and promenaded round. The} stopped in front of the orchestra, when Lieut, 5. meds a brief address, expressing his gratitude for this mani- featation of the esteem of his feltow-typos. The crowd having dispersed, Lieut. S. walked round the room, when hundreds of fairy forms gathered round to shake the remaining hand of the gallant soldier The dancing was again resumed, new life having sprung into every frame, and away they glided, like sylphs, over the floor. We noticed among the fair damsels the beautiful Miss H., of Houston street, by far the most attractive lady in the room. She was attired ins book musiin dress, the sleeves looped up with narrow blue ribbon, with a deli- cate rosette in the centre. Her hair was tastefully dressed with white roses and a silver wreath. Her face, of the Grecian order, was most beautiful, with full dark eyes, cherry cheeks, and ruby lips, upon which there was ways asweet smile. She danced most gracefully, 80 much so, indeed, that we sought an introduotion,led her to the floor and joined the happy dance, which, uoder other circumstances, we would most resolutely have refused. Miss H. of Henty street. was, a very pretty little girl, dressed in white Swiss muslin, handsomely tucked, and trimmed with white satin ribbon. Mrs. W. of Brooklyn, was one of the most prominent ladies She was dressed in » beautiful cashmere, tastily trinmed, and danced beeutifully. ‘Miss H. of Brookiyn, except Miss H. of Houston street, was the most tastily dressed. Her garb of mull muslin, handsomely tinselled, shone most bsautifully, as did also her goiden head. dress Mit snut street, was dressed in a black silk, fi She danoed very handsomely. ut street, was handsomely dressed in pink book muslin skirt, with white satin spencer.

INsuLT To AN American Consut.—A few days ago a person who pretended to be an American seaman, was brought before the sitting magis- trate, charged with having given the American consul much verbal abuse, in his offictal capacity, and even attempted to strike him. The magis- trate found the charge proved, and inflicted a fine of five dollars, or imprisonment for ten days. The consul remonstrated on the inade- quacy of the punishment to the offence, on which the magistrate remitted the case to the Quarter Sessions, and it was heard yesterday befo: Governor, the resident councillor, and Mei ¥ Connolly and Fraser. The case having been tully proved, the court imposed a fine of twenty dollars, or to be imprisoned for two months, and also ordered the defendant to find security to keep the peace for one year. This 1s certainly A more appropriate sentence than that of the sitting magistrate, who, we suppose, was igno- rant of the rank and privileges of consuls, aud the protection which is accorded to them by the law of nations. It would have been a etl greater improvement on the sentence, had some species of labor been added to the imprison- ment. Atyresent, imprisonment in the Singa- pore gaol, to either Europeans or natives, is con- ducive of no good; but on the contrary, is a certain means of demoralizition, since the prisoners are left in sheer idieness, and herd together, mutually corruptins each other. In the new gaol, and house of correction, this will no doubt be remedied; but in the meantime, we should like to see some temporary expedient tor put ing prisoners, especially Europeans, to work. —Singupore Free Press.
