New York, Saturday, June 9, 1849, _ The Hungarian Struggle—Public Meeting. Preparations are being made by a portion of our population, to call a grand mass meeting in the Park, to sympathize with the Hungarians in their struggle for liberty, in opposition to the Austrians and Russians, both of whom are combined to put them down, and with them the spirit and thirst for freedom in Europe. ‘This is a good movement ; but we think a better one might be made—better, because it would be more comprehensive in its nature and objects. We think the meeting should not be one of sympathy for the Hungarians alone, but should include the people of Germany, Italy, Rome, and other strug- gling and suffering European nations as well. The agitation and struggles which now pervade Hun- gary are not confined to that country. They are general, and are attacking at this moment, and have been doing so for thirty years past, under the influence of a slow but certain agency, which would sooner or lat roduce its legitimate fruits, every monarchy despotism old world. Why, then, ie athy people of this great and iree country be confined to the Hun- gariar Are not the people of every State in nany struggling for the rights which the Hun- garians are seeking for? Are not the people of ly doing the same ? For what did the people of ternal City overthrow the Pope’s temporal au- (Catholics as they are,)and compel his Holi- ave Rome? The answer is suggested at forthe pursuit, and we hope and trust the acquisition, of the rightsand privilegesof manhood in the nineteenth century. Why, then, we would enquire, should the people of New York’ as- semble in mass meeting for the purpose of sym- pathising with only one people in the struggle for liberty in Europe? The whole of Europe, by its recent uprising—by the one sentiment which actuates the people—by the spontaneous effort which has been made, and is now being made, to release man from the thraldom, mental and physi. cal, of ages—to assume the stand which Provi- dence designed him to take—to file away the fetters which tyrants of every name and degree have forged for him—by all those holy and righteous movements, having for their object the elevation, advancement and happiness of all the sons of man, the people of almost all Europe have made them- selves homogeneous in their relations with the United States ; and in the manner in which we, as a free and independent people, having achieved what they are struggling for, should look upon and treat them, there must be no distinction. If a mass meeting of American citizens is to be called, et {t, and its sympathy and proceedings, have re- ference to all Europe, and let that sympathy be as deep and as heart-felt as is our admuration for de. mocratic institutions, and the principle carried out in fact, as well as in theory, in our beloved country, that all government proceeds directly from the go- yverned—that the source of power in civilized com- munities rests in the people. Another view of the matter and of the proceed- ings that will be taken at this general mass meet- ing, is the propriety of calling upon the general government of the United States to throw its influ. ence to the side of liberty in the struggle now going on in Europe. There cannot be a doubt that if it has not already taken place, the direst conflict that the world has yet witness- ed will occur there. Europe is in her travails. She is now enduring the throes of a new birth.— Impregnated with the germ of revolution during the career of the most extraordinary man of modern times, Napoleon, the period of gestation has at length approached, and this season of travail, like that of some of those popular personages who figure in classic story, is marked by signs of portentous import. Storms, and tempests, and signs of ominous appearances in the heavens, and bloody scenes upon earth, usher in this grand event. Yet who that loves liberty, can fear the issue? No monstrous birth will affright the nations. It is the offspring of freedom herself, borne through many a dark day of danger and distress, but fair and immortal as its source, which is now about to appear inthe ancient world, and place upon an imperishable basis the long Jost liberties of millions of mankind. That that in- fluence, if properly exerted, would have a powerful influence in favor of liberty in Europe, is, we think, beyond question. We must recollect that, even re- moved as we are—some three thousand miles and more—fron: the scene of the great struggle betweea liberty and despotiem in the old world, there is not a despot there who does not, before he moves a ste) in the programme of his operations, take into con sideration the manner in which it will be viewed and treated by the United States of America. Al- though we do not apprehend that England will, if she can by any means avoid it, take part in that struggle, because, as we have always held, she is bound down to keep the peace, by her national debt and the growing intelligence of her people, yet, lest she might in a moment of haste cast her influence against liberty, the United States should, as ene of the great powers of the earth, and as the imperso- nation of liberty, protest against her interference in the wrong way. France being the pioneer of liberty in Europe, will be obliged to bear the brunt of the strife; and her strength, added to that of the millions who are thirsting to reach the fountain of liberty, will, we hope, be sufficient for the emer- gene’ 1ose views, we think, ought to be taken into consideration in every movement of the people of the United States having for its object the ex- pression of sympathy with the struggling people of Europe. We hope the meeting about to be called will have reference to other people in Europe, as well os the Hungarians, and that a general league Will be entered into, for the purpose of hastening the birth of liberty in Europe, and emancipating the slaves of despotism in that part of the world. ARRIVAL oF ‘the Tennessee.—The steamship Tennessee, Capt Collins, arrived in this port at an early hour this morning, sixty hours from Savan- nah. She has a large passenger list, which will be found under the proper hend. Tne Empire Sreamer.—Yesterday morning the Empire steamer arrived in tow of a small steam- boat. She was supported vy two small craft at- tached to her sides, and her main deck appears to be about a foot above the water. Tae Trai or Watxer yor Munper.—This trial, which has excited a considerable degree of interest 4n the public mind, and a great deal of violent feel- ing on thé part of the friends and connections ot the deceased, has at length been brought to a clese. At half-past one o’clock yesterday, the charge of the judge was concluded, and the jury retired. After deliberating about six hours, the jury re- tumed with a verdict of acquittal. The case has thus been forever disposed of, and it is not our province te say a single word as to the manner in which it hasterminated. Acting under the most solemn obligations, the jury have restored the ac- cused to freedom, never hereafter to be called to answer, before any earthly tribunal, for his conduct in the melancholy transaction which has naturally occupied so much attention throughout this whole community, But the manner in which this trial has been con- ducted isa legitimate subject for the review, and, if need be, the animadversion of the public press. We have already adverted to this view of the case; and we take occasion again to make it the subject of a very few. remarks. Unquestionably, the con- duct of the counsel on both sides was in several instances highly indecorous, to use the mildest term. Of late years, there has been a sad falling off observable in the manners of the New York bar. In the days of the late Mr. Emmet and his con- temporaries, the judicial tribunals of this city were characterized by all the stern selemnities which right-thinking men associate with the udministra- tion of public justice. Then, the sensibilities of up- right men, and the proprieties of our courts of jus- tice, were not shocked every day by the exhibition of the impertinence, flippancy, ill-temper and inde- cent witticism which now so often disgrace the bar, and the court also, which is destitute either of the correct taste or the moral courage that would be offended or aroused by such lamentable exhibitions of human folly, or rather forensic in- firmity and forensic disregard of all human feel- ing. There has been much in the management of this trial which demands the most caustic treatment. Nor will that treatment be spared. We do not de- sire to press the subject at this moment, for we would spare the feelings of those who are more immediately concerned in this sad case. Heaven knows, there has been little tenderness manifested for those feelings on either side, in certain quarters. But the purity of our judicial tribunals, their moral dignity, and their very existence in such a condi- tion as merits the homage of good men, demand a correction ef those abuses and indecencies to which we thus briefly allude, but which we do not by any means intend shall escape our notice. Tue Antea@ep Case or Drrromatic Sava- GLina.—We have, on a former occasion, alluded to the article which appeared in one of our New York journals, in the month of February last, which charged on the American Charge d’ Affairs at Stockholm, the commission of smuggling, un- der cover of his diplomatic station, and to the tri- umphant vindication of the party named in con- nection with the transaction, Mr, H. W. Ells- worth. Since that time, we have received copies of the documents relied upon by Mr. Ellsworth to clear himself of the charge, and, after carefully pe- Tusing them, we have arrived at the conclusion that they contain the strongest possible proof that he is not only guiltless of the charge made against him, but that he never entertained the thought of doing anything of the kind. When this charge of diplomatic smuggling was first made, we were much mortified and annoyed. Although we had our doubts as to its correctness, we felt annoyed, begause we entertained the opin- ion that our representatives at foreign courts were not only men of honor, reputation, and character— above doing anything of the kind charged—but that they were also, like Cwsar’s wife, above sus- picion. When, however, the name of the func- tionary charged came to our knowledge, we had no scruple in at once relieving ourselves of all doubts in the premises, and becoming satisfied that the charge was a base fabrication, gotten up by some evil-disposed person for the purpose of in, juring Mr. Ellsworth’s reputation here and abroad, even at the sacrifice of the American character. A more abortive attempt to ruin a public man ne- ver was made. Whoever the author 1s, he could not have taken a surer method to elevate Mr. Ellsworth in the estimation of his countrymen, than by fabricating that charge, for it rendered it incumbent upon that gentleman to come forth and disprove it, which he has done, not by simple de- nials emanating from himself, but by official letters from the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, let- ters from the officers of the Swedish customhouse, and other persons in official station in Sweden, all tesufying in the strongest manner to the falsity of the charge, and uniting in expressing wonder- ment that under the circumstances, and considering the character ot Mr. Ellsworth, such a story should have been circulated at all. The journal which first published the calumny concerning Mr. Ellsworth, deserves the highest censure. Nothing short of proof strong as holy writ would justify any newspaper in acting as it did in this matter. Our dizlomatic representatives abroad are not only the representatives, but the custodians of the character and dignity of the United States at the courts to which they are sent; and any attack on them in their offi- cial character is an attack on the United States, and should not be circulated, except the circum- stances out of which it arises are so plain and clear as not to admit of any but one construction. We congratulate Mr. Ellsworth and the United States on the successful manner in which he has disposed of the disreputable charges that were thus made against him, and hope that public jour- nals will in future be more careful in circulating slanders concerning our public men, than the newspaper referred to has been in this case. Canapran Arrairs.—For some time past, one of our corps has been travelling in Upper Canada, for the purpose of ascertaining correctly the views and opinions of .the people of that province in regard to their political matters, and especially their ideas in regard to their annexation to the United States. His letters on the subject willbe published as soon as we can find room for them— two or three of them being now in type. If the conclusions to which our correspondent has arrived are true, and he gives the substance on which they are based, a great deal of the interest which the people of the United States have taken in Canadian affairs, is thrown away. The two Canadas, it appears, are composed of rival races— the French and the British, or the radicals and tories, as they are termed there. The animosity and hatred which have existed for ages between those racesin the old world, have been transplanted into Canada, and flourish there vigorously. In- deed, it has been increasing in virulence and in- tensity from year to year, until, by the ascendancy of the Freneh party in the Canadian Parliament, it has reached the climax, and an explosion seems to be at hand. That explosion must take place, sooner or later—peaceubly, by repealing the union between Upper and Lower Canada, or by forming a national federative union of the British North American provinces, or forcibly, by a civil war. The two races cannot get on together, so intense and deadly is their hatred of each other. In regard to the annexation of the Canadas to the United States, it appears there are only a few persons, scattered throughout Upper Canada, in favor of the project. The great bulk of the British party are ignorant and unenlightened; they are led and directed by a few designing men, who know no holier or higher aspiration than hatred of the French, and the enjoyment of office and power. Those leaders being principally army and naval officers, have no idea of submitting to French rule in any form, and hence the stand which they have taken recently towards the action of Parliament, a majority of the members of which are of the French party. True to the sentiments of the people of England, they cordially detest republicanism, and have threatened annexation, not with the view of carrying it into effect, if opportunity should occur, but simply to influence the Canadian Executive and the Britush ministry. . ‘This party calculate on returning a mejority at the next general election. If they succeed, they will carry a measure repealing the Union ; if not, an insurrection will probably follow. Be this as it may, dreadful scenes of riot and bloodshed are ex- pected to take place when the time of election shall have come round. Closing of the Mails at the New York Post Office.

Befere Justice Hurlbut, and Aldermen Wood and Mullins. MARTHA E. WALKER. —At the usual hour the court opened. There was a considerably smaller.sudience than had been go- nerally in attendance. About half-past ten o'clock, his honor Judge Hurl- but addressed the jury. He began by stating the general facts im which the trial had originated, and then went on to speak of the character of the investigation itself. cautioned the jury against being actuated by +4 rumors or publications in reference to the case whic! might have produced an influence upon their minds. ies 4 were to dismiss all such considerations, and make up their judgment solely from the evid He then alluded to the distinction between moral and legal evi- dence, expressing his regret that the le state- ment made by the acoused before the coronor’sjury,and also the conversation which took place between him and the deceased after she had received the fatal wound, and previous to her death, had not been pre- sented by the prosecution, Itwas true that the court had been obliged to exclude that t sripaed of the testi- mony ,acting under whatit regarded as a safe and proper construction of the rules of evidence, Still, that evi- dence might have thrown important light ‘upon the case. materially aiding the court and the jury in their udgment; and hence the expression of his regret that it was not before them. On this point, he dwelt at some length, adverting to the theory based partly upon necessity and policy, aud artly upon reason, under which such evidence faa, eretofore, been usually admitted. It 3 true that the prosecution were not bound to present it in this case; and-so the court had solemnly decided, but decided with regret—conforming in that decision to the established practice of that hall and this State, and departing in some respect from the British rules of procedure, The Court then proceeded to speak at much length of the relationship which subsisted be- tween the deceased and the accused, reviewing the ela- borate and protracted arguments of counsel on both sides, with reference to the validity of the divorce obtained by the deceased in the State of Connec- ticut from her former husband, Charles F. Miller. On this point, the Court decided that this divorce was null and void, sustaining his decision by argument and authority, the latter chiefly derived from Kent At the same time, the jury were directed to consider the effect which an impression of the validity of the divorce might have had upon both or either of the varties in the present case. He animadverted upon the length of time occupied by the counsel on this point, which, was not of Righ importance, although ef some importance in so far as respected its relations with the motives of the parties, Then, the court proceeded to define and explain, as usual, the rules of circumstantial evidence, on which alone the guilt or innocence of the accused in this case was to be determined. Next he de- scribed the various hypotheses which had been present- ed. Firrt, wilful and deliberate murder; second, accident; third. suicide; fourth, an intention on the part of the deceased to commit suicide and slay the accused, After briefly adverting to the attempt to fix upon the accused the crime of manslaughter in the first, third, or fourth degrees, which the Court did not seem to re- gard as sustained by the evidence, he went on to speak of the two inferences which he regarded as the only ones involved in the issue—one was ngainst, and the other in favor, of the innocence of the accused. One of these inferences was, that the murder had been perpetrated, and the other was, that suicide had been committed, What evidence was there in this case that a deliberate murder had been committed? Now, the importance of the relations of the parties became manifest. . She claimed to be his wife. Me resisted the claim. She claimed to be his faithful and loving wife. He denied the allegation, Her feelings were of mingled love and hatred. How sincere the love, how genuine the hatred, was for the jury to deter- mine. Tho accused assumed all the faults —all the origin of the differences between them. Did he love her? He assured Mrs. Daly that he did love the deceased more than any woman he had ever seen, It was for the jury to determine whether he loved or hated her, It was alleged that he was jeal- cus, and that jealousy prompted the killing. There was no legal evidence of a lawsuit bet ween the parties, and that considgration was to be dismissed altogether by the jury. Did the conduct and manner of the accused indicate a murderous design? Did he threaten violence?) Was he in the room on that day of his own motive, or was ‘he there in obedience to her solicitation? Did she dread violeace on his rt? All these questions it was for the jury 0 answer. Did he carry the pistol there? It would be # circumstance against the defendant if he had carried the pistol there that day. But the pistol had been in her possession; that was to say, in one or other of those parlors which she used, andin which she was accustomed to meet the accused. The testi- mony of Mrs, Wells and Margaret Conner was then reviewed ; and the Court dwelt with some emphasis upon the importance of the fact testified to by the former, that on her opening the door of the parlor in which the parties were, immediately after the aero of the pistol. she saw the prisoner standing with the pistol in his hand, pointing towards her—that was a most important statement. It tended directly to the conclusion, that he had held the pistol in his hand when the shot wae fired. But it was for ne ey, to consider how much credit was to be attached to the statement. No one could for a moment doubt the per- fect truthfulnees of Mrs. Wells. She had throughout sustained the character of a reliable witness. She had refrained from any thing like an accusation of the de- fendant. She undoubtedly intended to state nothing but the truth. But she was then in circumstances of an agitating character; and how far they might have influenced her impressions, was for the jury to deter- mine. The manner of the accused, after the occurrence, ‘was next reviewed, and favorably to him. His remaining on the spot—his retaining the pistol—his whole de- meanor, were adverted to. The motive to commit the act—tho disposition to do it—the seeking of an inter- view for the purpose of executing it—the possession of the weapon with which it was done—the helding of it in his hand, as seen by Mrs. Wells— were the | Sees relied on by the prosecution, But, ashe had said at the outset, the case would have been so illuminated and aided by the statements of both parties, that it seemed to him the prosecution were hardly warranted in resting their ease without producing them Then the Court proceeded to speak of the opposite hypothesis—that of suicide, The men- tal and physical constitution ot the deceased; her al- eged tendency to suicide; her threats of suicide; her retaining and concealing the loaded pistol ; the nature of the wound; her gare iay | from any accuration of murder against the defend- ant, as urged and dwelt on by the counsel for the defence, were alluded to at lenght and after an eloquent appeal to the consciences of the jurors, under the solemn responsibilities of their position, the Court concluded about half-past 1 o'clock. The jury were then given in charge of several offi- cers, who were sworn to keop them in close custody, and retired to deliberate on the verdict. About seven o'clock the jury intimated a wish to communicate with the Court. On their being brought in one of their number asked whether it was the muzzle or the hendl of the pistol which Mrs. Wells had stated was pointed towards her when she opened the door and raw the instrument in the hand of the prisoner ? The Covrr read that portion of the evidence which has already been laid before our readers. The Juror then asked whether if a doubt existed in their minds as to the guilt of the prisoner, they were to convict? The Count replied, that of course if a reasonable doubt of his guilt existed, the prisoner must be ac- quitted. The jury then retired again, and after a short in- terval returned, with a verdict of Nor Guitry. A slight demonstration of applause followed, which was instantly checked by the Court. ‘The prisoner was of course at once discharged, and retired with his friends. Police Intelligence, Charge of Fraud.—Mr. George Relyea, of the inde- pendent police, No. 130 Broadway, and officer Edwards, of the 8d district police, arrested, yesterday, a young man by the name of Smith D Sturtevant, on a warrant issued by Justice Osborne, wherein he stands charged with det sey Hakone W. Young, boot maker, corner of Fulton and Nassau streets, out of a promisory note for $197 87. under the following circumstances. It ap- pears from the affidavits before the magistrate, that on the 20th of last month, Young was going down Nassau #treet with the above mentioned note, for the purpose of getting the same discounted, and on his way to Wall street, he met the accured, to whom he showed the note, and said he wanted it discounted. Young then, after a little conversation together, gave the note to Sturtevant to get discounted. as he informed Young he could get it done at a “moderate shave.’ But since that day, Mr. Young has neither seen the money nor the note, nor bas he been able to find the whereabouts of Sturtevant until yesterday, when he was caught by the above active officers, The note is now found in the | possession of a Mr. Wm. A, Beecher, in Wall street, who holds the same as collateral security for a note of Sturtevant’s for $67. A Mr. George E. Lockwood, to whom Sturtevant gave Young's note, passed the same to Mr. Beecher, who now holds it asa collateral for moneys due him on the note of the accused. Justice Osborne, on this state of facts, detained Sturtevant for a further hearing. Arrest on Suspicion.—Officer Clifford, of the Sixth ward police, arrested. last evening, a young man by the name of James Bradley, on a warrant issued by Justice | Lothrop. wherein be #ands charged with stealing a pocket-book containing $185, from the pantaloons | pocket of John Rock, residing at the corner of Hicks street and Atlantic. fore the magistrate, that the accused is at = Hgaed cellar situated at No, 130 Wi hich pl ar-teader er street, Rock went in and took some oysters i after taking the oysters, Rock pulled out his pocket-book to pay for them, and thereby ex- hibited quite a roll of bills; Rock then repiaced his oerooe ie his pocket; {m an instant after that, redley enme from behind the counter, pushed against Rock, who at that moment fi he hand of the accused in bis pocket, anda few mi ea after ho discovered that his pocket- book had been stolen, containing the money. Justice Lothrop, on hearing the ease, com- mitted the accused to prison for a farther hearing. Robhing a Gremnhorn.—A poor, green Irish emigrant, by the name of Patrick Shay, was robbed of $3 in silver coin, by a German Jew called Frederick Steasny, while on their passage from Albany to thiv ety, on board tho steamer Eureka It appears from the evidence of Say, that he was only a few weeks in this country, and was on his way to illinois, to see his brother, but on ar- riving ns far as Albany, he became home sick, and was on his return to this city. to take passage for Ireland again ; on coming down on the boat, he fell asleep, and wae awoke by the haod of the ac od in his pocket; he seized his hand, but the accused got away from him and ra seress to another part of the boat; on Shay looking at his pocket, he found that a holo had been i to drop out; pocket, Shay had a brass box containing sovereigns, but luckily for him, the hole 21% > Loo rtail to allow the box to pass out, and in try- ing to increme the size of tho hole, Shay was woke np, und thus detected the thief; on the boat touching the aock officer Me Vianus took ‘the Jew into custody and conveyed bim before Justice Lothrop, who committed him to prisom, in default of bail, to anawer.the charge of an attempt to commit grand larceny.

The situation of the place, the beauty of the scenery, and the shadow of the trees overhanging the walks, will certainly induce those of our citizens, who wish to shun the dust of the streets and the bustle of the town, to spendaday or an afternoon in that beautiful and retired spot of tran- quillity, and refresh themselves in a purer atmosphere, Aceipent to 4 Huncantay.—This morning, at half- ast 1 o'clock, a Hungarian, named Rentcen fell rom the third ‘story of the Shakspeare Hotel, striking on the iron railing.

Though opposed to the inercare of taxation for uto- pian objects, or such as are dosigned to put money in- to the pockets of individuals, at the public expunse, like the proposed enlargement of the Battery, we wi never be slow or reluctant to give our approval to public works of real and practical utility, called for by the increasing wants of a great community, every day increasing in population, Such is the characier of the intended new market.

And how astonished would those of our fellow citizens be who have been out of New York for a few years, to find Tompkins Square and the numerous streets that lie east of it, reclaimed from the river! In fact, in the northeast district new buildings have sprung up, and are springiug up, like mushrooms, and the number of its inhabitants is now such that they have an undoubted claim for a market of their own, {t is unreasonable to expect that the residents in ‘Tompkins Square, and the streets from Fourth to Twenty-seventh, on the eastern side of Broadway, should be compelled to go to Fulton and plainng mill by fire, it is supposed the engineer lost his life.

Herara, Minister to the United States from New Granada, several of the ex-aldermen of the city, and a number of the officers of the institution, be- sides those who are resident at the asylum. At about two o'clock, P. M.—the visiters having al- ready taken their places as spectators—the pupils came into the chapel of the institution, and took their seats in classes at each end of the room. They are remark- ably healthy and fine looking, and we doubt much whe- ther the pupils of any school of equal numbers in the country, would not suffer by comparison of appear- ances. ‘The females, especially, are possessed of such intelligent and handsome faces, that it is difficult to entertain the idea that they want a sense or facult: which belongs to the race generally. After the Noite had taken their seats, Mr. Peet, the president of the in- stitution. stepped upon the platform, and thanked the ladies and gentlemen present for thelr attendance, and the kind interest which they had manifested, by com- ing out in this inclement state of the weather. ‘Thero were. he said, eleven classes in the institution; time would not, however, aliow the examination of more than four of these—two of the primary classes, and two classes more advanced. The first pupils called wore from a class which had been under tuition a year and a half. One of them was a little boy, the son of Solomon Southwick, his brother having also been educated here. These comparatively unedu- cated mutes went through some interesting exer- cises, among which was that of giving in their owm language, upon the black board, a sentence concern- ing the history or habits of quadrupeds, each scholar selcoting his own subject. Considering tho short time which they had devoted to learning, their chirography, orthography, and syntax, were remarkable. They next ve evidence of some acquaintance with ornitholozy, yy giving descriptions of several kinds of birds, Words were next proposed to them, upon which they readily wrote sentences containing the words given out; for instance, the word ‘love’? was proposed, when one of the little Misses wrote, “ A kind gentleman will love a pretty gltl;”” and, at the eame instant, « youngster at er elbow wrote,“ A very smart boy will love a pretty girly while other sentences were written by the other pupils. Another class was represented by eight of its mem- bers; this class has been under tuition for two years and a half. They wrote upon the black board shoré sketches of their own lives. While this exercise wag in progress, a lad about 15 years of age came forward and entertained the assemblage by mimic performances, illustrating the animals, a8 acat cathing a mouse; a hawk catching a chicken; a schoolmaster punishinga naughty boy; an old gentleman meeting another; an old gentleman amoking 8 pipe; an old lady knitting‘and taking snuff; beau walk- ing in’ the street and meeting a belle; boys skating; dog swimming; an eagle flying. contrasted with a hu ming bird. ‘This class also performed several exercisi in writing, showing an advanced stage of education. ‘The next class had been in the institution four years and a half; their exercises were similar to those of the others, but their performances proved that their time had been well improved. ‘The next and highest class have been in the institu- tion five anda half years, and have attained toa for- wardness in education which would surprise a person who, for the first time, witnessed an exhibition of their talent. Their intimacy with history is comprehensive and accurate, their mode of expression elegant, and their choice of phrases happy in the extreme. A young mute named Gatiage, a teacher in the in- stitution, who graduated some years ago. entertainod the company present by giving some exhibitions of the eloquence of signs. He gave a picture of Christ stilling the tempest; a eapital performance, which would do ore- dit to any artist. An Indian boy, belonging to the Onandaga tribe, whe has been but a short time in tho Asylum, also gave some exhibitions of the language of signs, or portrayal of events by gestures, After the exercises were concluded, the guosts re- tired to the ladies’ sitting room, where # handsome re- past was prepared for them. ‘The eountry air gave good appetities, and the viands, which were truly in- viting, were discussed with zest. At 5 o'clock, the cars were in readiness to bring the invited guests to Ch ft all left the grounds highly pleased with their visit.
