on, of ornamentation prevelads in v on peculiarities of Assyrian architecture disclosed toa the hems and borders of costume, human figures, horses, We. Considering the extreme antiquity of these remains, the only moderate hardness of the material, and the lowness of the relief, these seulp- tures must be considered as remarkably well pre- served. Major Rawlinson, who had mastered to great extent the knowledge handed down in the characters found im these remains, eater- tal the opinion that the earlier ruins dated twelve or thirteen centuries before the Christian era, The love of ornament common to eastern nations was remarkable in these specimens. Every figure had some carved representation of ornament; even the common Fx ny . sheip ypeapens oaere’ sone Tosettes, ¥ her a, an rape ings of horses were most richly decorated. As the r ring amidst these minute decorations was no- where tobe found, it was med that that was an omament unknown to the Assyrians. Without going into the question of the antiquity of finger rings, he might state that they were mentioned in and Jeremiah ; and Pausanias, who wrote 42 yeara before Christ, related that he saw ona peistiog on the walls of a temple, a figure of Phocas, which aring onthe hand. There was, how- ever, no such example known to exist at the pre tent time in Greek sculpture. Very few iltustra- tions of domestic furniture had been found; but there were chairs with feet imitating the feet of animale—an ornament usually adopted in Greek art, and continued downwards through the media- val) period. The ornamental drawings exhibited frequeatly a spirit and artistic skill which would do no discredit to our best artists. They had a freedom of execution wholly unknown in Eeye Con remains. The honeysuckle ornament, whic! cope wed very commonly, was as perfectly classic » if execution as the numerous specimens which re to be found in Greek art. The most trifli ood mean objects were profusely decorated, ani e 86 of drawings of this description was so im- e, that they must have been the work of the vary artisans. He doubted whether there were vorking sculptors in England, who could work piece at marble winged wolves and antelopes such a freedom of execution, and boldness accuracy of drawing. These figures had, in \-) @ strong analogy to the works of the Greek: so se believed that the banks of the Tigris an rates were more entitled than the banks of suc .Jile and Egypt, to the honor of giving birth to Greek art. Mr. Smirke then proceeded to show, at some length, the connection of the ian ob- jects of worship, such as goats and bulls, with those of the Egyptians, and he drew an interestii comparison between a deity springing from a wheel, which is much represented in these Assyrian eculptures, and the wheels mentioned in the 8th chapter of Ezekiel. The total absence of columns was remarkable. Mr. Layard mentioned only one instance in which he had found them, and in that he presumed, from other circumstances, that they were of later date. In one of the casts now ex- hibited, there was a representation of a sort of tent roof, supported by three pillars, which were so slender as to lead to the presumption that they must have been of wood. At the top of these pillars were placed the horns of a goat, so szranaee that the: sted the idea of Ionic capitals. The style of architecture to which the first Jewish temple might be attributed, had long been a matter of controversy, but he was di d to think that these magnificent ruins afforded a better clue than any we had hitherto possessed. Geographically and politically speaking, the kingdom of Israel had more connection with these ge than with the Egyptians, and it was from the countries west of Judea that Solomon sought his “cunning work- men,” who were employed in the building of the temple. In conclusion, he referred to the recent accounts from Nineveh, as being noeey vague and meagre. ‘There had been founc fi it would appear, a most miscellaneous collec- tion of rich armour, antique vessels, costly apparel, and other treasures, put together in a manner perfectly perplexing. An ingenious pupil of his, Mr. Keitch, had, however, drawn his attention to a passage in Diodorus Siculas, which would perhaps help to explain so otherwise utterly vnaccountable a circumstance. Sardanapalus, as they all knew, when his danger was imminen‘, and the Median enemy in possession of his city, owi to asudden irruption of the river breaknig down 2 stadia of the walls, collected together all his va- luables, his vestments, his armor, his gold and ver, and all his treasures, and formed of them a i funereal pile.gOn thetop he placed his wives, concubines, his servants, his eunuchs, and him- self, and applying the torch, the whole were burnt together. Diodorous relates that one of the eunuchs, not yet tired of\ life, or at least sa ipso emp mountable objection to so fiery a mode of going out of it, made his escape, and gave information to a Babylonian priest that under the ruins of the ar, 5 palace might be found enormous treasures. e priest went straight to Arbaces, who in the midst of bis Wiumph was distributing rewards to his sa- traps, and reminding the monarch that he had pre- dicted the fall of Nineveh, said that in the midst 0 the battle he had vowed a vow to Belus that, if the Babylonians were victorious, he would convey the ruins of the royal palace to Babylon, ani erect there a temple to that god, which should be at once a monument of ‘the destruction of Nineveh, and serve as a landmark to those who navigated the river that ran through that great city. The Median king, who was described by Diodorus as possessi a noble and generous disposition, graated him al the ruins of the royal palace for th he priest then, with the help of th the greater part of th ure, butt discovered and he was operations of the priest, so faras the treasures were concemed, were surrepi.tious, and of course the in- vestigation of the ruins could not have been so complete as if it had been conducted openty and de- liberately, and that would seem to account for the incongraeus heap of valuables discovered by Mr. Layard. Thus, if the eunuch had not tural a distaste to be of the principals in the avto-da-fé of the monareh, Mr. Layard would have en by this time in possession of the treasures of ‘ardanapalus Thom, the Sculptor. We aetee be <= o —_ eigues Toge the sculptor, who expired at in New Perk’ 'on Wednesday of this week. Mr. ‘Thom come to this country from Scotland some twelve or fourteen years ago, in pursuit of a person who had been previously sent over by the etors 10 ex- hibit his Tam O'Shanter and Old Mortality, but who, we believe, made no returns or report of his seeedinge. Arriving in New York, he traced ‘in, the delinquent—a fellow-Scotchman, of some shrewdness and addrese—to this city, and here re- red, if we rightly remember, « portion of the noney for which it appeared these admurable works bad been sold, and transmitted it to the proprietors, who had been his benefactors, concluding to remain here himeelf to pursue his profession. In exploring the co in this vicinity for stone adapted to his purposes, he brought into notice the fine’ freestone aarry at Little Falls, which has since become so Ginous, having furnished the stone for the Court House in this city, Trinity Church in New York, and many other public buildings in various parts of the country. . With this stone he reproduced the two groups al- ready named, executed an imposing statue of Burns and filled various orders for ornamental pieces for pleasure grounds The copy of the Old Mortalit, including the pious old Presbyterian and y, with the familiar presence of the immortal genius which made them the property of the uni- versal mind—was sold, at a fair price, to the aha, org of Laurel Hill Cemetery, near Philadelphia, and is now the appropriate frontispiece of that spa- ‘cious city of the dead.

In that met lis he received numerous orders for busts, which were, we believe, ereditably executed in the favorite Scoteh grey stone, with which he had been familiar. . ‘Thom had a strong predilection for architecture, ond, faneying that he could excel in that depart ment of art, gave considerable attention to it, but we are notaware thet he produced anything re- markable, beyond a few designs that were never executed. When it was concluded to build Trinity Choreh with the Little Falls stone, Thom made an advantageous contract to do the stone cutting, and exccnted mueh of the fine carving for that costly aichiteetural blunder.

The Tragedy at Sace, Mainc. ‘THE COROKER’S INQUEST—VERDICT AGAINST DR. afternoon last. he body was discovered by @ young lad, son of Jo reph 8. Stevens. who resides on Storer street, who was sent into the culvert to clear away the rubbish, in order to the water of the brook, which flows through the culvert, freer vent. We understand that body when tound was almost in a state of nudity, being covered only with a chemise, or night dress, the head being also covered with a night- cap, over which there waa tied a piece of checked ca- lico, in turban form, and upon the feet was a pair of bine stockings. The culvert where the body was found is about four feet wide, and 4 considerable brook runs through it. The drain passes between two dwelling Houses audiver ib ietaide plank walk, which leads to a door on the side of one of the houses. The body was found directly where the culvert touches the street, and was bencath the covered walk and among the rab- bish, which impeded the flow of the water. Around the neck of the body, which was somewhat decayed, and the flesh eaten off by the rats, was tied « rinall rope, which was attached to a plank about six feet long, that had evidently been used in the tirst place in conveying the body to the drain, and afterwards kept it beneath the walk in the culvert. The finding of the bod: der such cire imstances, caused much stir, aw such an affuir naturally would, and the place where the pety was discovered was soom thronged with people. ‘Thomas P. Tufts took possession of the corpse imme- diately. and summoned » jury of inquest, This jury commenced its investigations on Saturday afternoon, and closed its sessions on Thursday. Their investiga- tion was private, but we learn that sufficient testimony was elicited in its pi to warrant the apprehen- sion and detention of Mr. James H. Smith, a person who had @ doubtful reputation here as a kind of quack practitioner of medicine, on a charge of having been in- strumental in procuring an abortion, which resulted .in the death of the female whose body was discovered. There was testimony before the inquest, rendering it altogether probable that the body found was that of a Mary Bean, so called, who was proved to have been, late last full or the beginning of the winter, a resident or doarder in Smith’s fumily. and who was su posed to be in an advanced state of pregnancy. ‘ia girl died at Smith's house the early part of the winter, and as no clue has been found as to the disposition of her remains, the supposition is that the remains found are those of this Mary Bean, We have not been able to learn the residence of the girl, or the circumstances connected with her going to boat ‘ith Smith for the purpeses indicated above, nor have we been able to certain much else in relation to the fi which ha’ been disclosed in the course of the investigation, ex- cepting that enough has been learned to show that Smith, for some years has been engaged in such prae- tice as he now stands charged with, and which in one, ifnot more instances, has resulted in death. The plank found with the body, and to which the rope was attached, it is sup) vers was used for the pur- pose of floating the body off down the brook, and without doubt in the expectation that the body bd sod yas through the drain into the river, and be carried over the falls, The plank fits a place from which one is missing from a stall in Mr. Smith’s stable, and other facts have been developed which affix suspicions on him as having thrown the body, or caused it to be thrown, in the drain where it was discovered. Smith was arrested by constable Thomas K. Lane, on Wednesday morning. and, at the time of writing this, is in his keeping. waiting his examination before the Police Court, which is expected to commence Friday morning. The inquest closed its session about eleven o'clock, lust evening, and returned the following verdict :— An inquisition taken at Saco, within the county of York, commencing on the thirteenth aay of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty, at the stable of Nathaniel Brooks, on Storer street, Saco, and continued from day to day, by ad- journment, to and at the house of Thomas P. ‘Tubs in Saco, until this ———- day of April, A.

And the jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths afore- said, do say, that they have reason to believe. and do believe, that said Mary Bean came to her death by cer- tain medicines, drugs, or substances administered to her. or by a certain instrument or instruments, or other means used and employed on her, to procure an abortion, by one James H. Smith, of Saco; and the jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths aforesaid, do say, that said James H. Smith did use and administer cer- tain medicines, drugs and substances, and did use and employ an instrument, or instruments, or other means in, , and upon the body of said Mary Beau, for the purpose aforesaid, being pregnant with child. And the jurors aforesaid, on their oaths aforesaid, do fay that aid medicines, drugs and substances were ad- ministered, and said instrument or instrumeats used in, within, and upon the body of the said Mary Bean, with an intent on the part of the said James Hf Smith then and there to destroy, and which did destroy « child, of which said Mary Bean was then and there as aforesaid pregnant. And the jurors aforesaid. upon their oaths aforesaid. do further say that the said ine- dicines, drugs or substances, so administered, or said instrument or instruments or other means so used and employed as aforesaid, were not administered, used or employed or done to preserve the life of the sald Mary Bean, but said act was on unlawful actin its com- mission, wicked and wanton, evincing @ reckless dis- porition in committing the crime, and apparantly wholly regardless of the security due to human life, And the jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths aforesaid, sny that the said Mary caine to her death as afore- 4, on or about the twenty-second day of December , at the house of said James H. Smith, and her say that after her death as aforesaid. that of said Mary Bean, was on or about the twenty-fourth of said December, taken by the said James H. Smith, or other person or persons to the Jury unknown, from said Smith's house and placed, fastened snd secured to ‘and cast into a certain brook runnin; ‘torer street in said Saco, and at s0 joint in said brook neara barn occupied by om In testimony whereof, we, the said Coroner, and the jurors of this inquest, have hereanto set their hands ‘and seals the day aud year aforesaid —Thomas P. Tufts, Coroner; T. Jordan, Jr., Foreman; Gideon Tuck: ; ons Hi, James Beatty, Edward Stiles, Nathaniel rook. It may be conjectured, from the above verdict, that the offenee with which Smith now charged, or may be charged with hereafter, is that which in de- fined to be, by our statute. murder in the second de- grec; the punishment of which is imprisonment for life im the State prixon. We suppose that his exami nation before the Police Coart will be upon a charge of this nature, This examination, it is expected, will commence to-day Inteaestina Mm Mrxico.—In addition to the news from Mexico, published by telegraph, we find the fol- lowing in the New Orleans Bee, of the 15th instant: — By the arrival of the brig Water Witch, Capt.

He is 8 communist, discarding all property as connected with labor, an@ .. he was elected a component part of the French goverte. ment. He isa man of an intellect not to be despigedy, whose style is impressive, mixed with many just and, noble sentiments in relation to the observances of the Sabbath, the institution of marriage, &e. He gathers’ up all the grievances of the discontented, places them in a portable, tangible form, and name may yet bee come more famous than it already is, for the co quences which may yet flow from his principles, I¢ may be said, Let such a man die and pass fore gotten,” But, what if he and his principles worms, eating inthe common ship in which we are flouting, and silently destroying its timbers, ought the commun danger to be despised Ho hed power enough in June, to keep the cannon roaring in the streets of Paris, for five days, sweeping down the people, disap. pointed of getting public work inthe public workshops, There is no excitement like that which i# produced by the subject of possession or property. und it ix question deserving our serious thought as Christians and the facilities of national intercourse in these days makes that which is municipal national, and that which is national to any people, universal. No coun- try hax more at stake on this question than our o to which the crowd of emigraute come like a clo darkening the skies—some. whe have property, for see curity, others, to labor and acquire it. The inoqnality of property in civil society has often been adverted to by the ancients, as well ax by the moderns. Amoi the latter, Dr. Paley says, “If we were to see # floe of ahundred pigeons feeding in acorn field, and ine stead of each one taking plenty and what he wanted, we were to seo ninety-nine of them gathering the corn or the benefit of one pigeon, the worst 7 ina heap of the whole flock ; and if we were to see all the others seantily fee: i upon husks and straw, sitting by ond watehing the heap whieh they had collected for th tingle one ; and if one among the ninety-nine, a to taste the rich food, was to take away @ pegs or two from the large heap collected by them all the bene- fit of one, then to sec all the others fall upon him and tear him to pieces for touching the heap—if you were to see this, you would ouly see what daily oeurs and is daily done in the worl: The great mass labor foc one, perhaps the worst one among them all, idiot, # fool,# madinan ; they gather toget! ‘and objects of enjoyment for hun; and if any one of them was to lay hands upon be pee , the other: jin to beng bim for the. theft.” [f in Eng: and, when Dr. Paley wrote, was commonly pun- ished capitally by hanging Singe thea the severe code has been somewhat iuoditied, &ud. though severel} punished. would not now be hanged for mere theft, —Kep.| ‘This was not written by Dr. Paley from sour- ness of mind, or bad feeling He, with his rotund face beneath his broad beaver, was the very personification of good nature and genial humor. It would require some better reasons than those adduced by the Peam of Carlyle to prove that such a condition of things as he has pictured is the very best form of society. People genorally take it for granted that it is the best, and that a greater equality of property than or- dinarily exists in civilized society could not exirt, con- sistent with the rights of individual property. The Doctor then proceeded to discuss tho origin of the right of property. As we understood, in reference to the state of society described by Pal maintain that it was by any but that the remedy proposed by the socialist philosophers would, as be clearly proved to our minds, ren: evils undoubtedly existing in all human societi: finitely worse than the worst state of society whieh has ever existed on the system of individual pro- perty. There ought to be a modifi ciety in which there would lity’ of property, while at the of each, and individual prope and more secure. The first rudiments of societ based upon & just conception of the idea of pro; It is religious truth which forms aud governs which isin ail its conditions. aad ong all py a reflection of the religious ideas prevailing among Lhem, ‘The god of the Hindoos is represented as passing his time in p, hence the character of the Hindoo mind and socicty, which is slothful and inactive; while the Greeks, who painted their gods as active warriors, were energetic ‘and warlike. Buch as the belief of = people, and such as their worship is, such will be their © \- tion of society among them’ [t is empiricism, there. fore, to be tinkering at the outside surtace ; we munt » to the root and foundation. Give us the basis of re- igious truth, and where there is a people who obe; truth, there will be the best society The only ‘jas notions of property, both a4 affect its possewsh the use and distribution ot it. sre found embed! the puri ristion doctrine. Proudhon starts fr remises, in the train of reasoning which led him to jay down his famous propomtion. He commences with the human race as a whole, and does not recoguize pers ronality or individuality; hence be argues right of all, and that no individual has « separa: above another. The Dr. next discussed the o property, and laid down the proposition that the eon- ception: as well ax the right of individual property is implanted naturally in our bosoms. by Hhin who erm ted us, and is as natural and just ax any other want or natural feeling which He has rendered a pact of our nature. Cicero traces the right of property to orcapa- tion. and compares the world toa theatre. where all the seats are common, but the occupant ef any one obtains a right to retain as his property for the time being, the feat he occupies, Grotius, on the other hand, traces the origin of the right to the common consent of all people. Locke again mantains tht it in Iabor and skill applied to various common objects, which gave the right of individual special appro- priations to him who has bestowed the labor oc fkill upon them. Then. again, Dr Paley maintains that the rigbt to individual pro: the civil law. and is founded a rly originates from gether upoa the ar. subject har culled great deal of metaphysical disquisition and veh; and philosophers have thought it necessary account for the cause and the justies of one man's possessing much and another nothing. The Doctor, in contradistingtion to all these authorities, main- tuined that the desire of property is au original desire from ature, and exists in us before we are cow of it ; properly, therefore, it is feeling. and sult of justice, It owes ite origin to the same a+ all our other appetites. We have a sense of pro- perty before we ares uble to appreciate the conse quences of our appropriation. It is uo arrangement of man. Here the Doctor introduced a happy and strik- ing illustration of the manner in which children, at the earliest age, evince a sense of the right of property and submit to claims from other children, showing fuward foundation of the sense of the right. Thus the sense of the right of property is antenor to pos ressory claims, and the sense of property is not im consequence of human laws, but Is written om tho flesbly tables of the heart, The Seripture offers mo tives to guide and direct the sense, hut recognises and protects the right. Its precept, “Do umto others aa you would they should do unto you,” fs not morely @ direction of charity and of mercy.’ but it lays the round of the mont perfeet conservative juris pradenee. t protects the rich from the aggreasdons of the poor, and calls upen the rich to act and feel toward hie fellow-ereature, who may be in want, as he would desire for himself, if he were in the same situation, This is the proper point to start fom, vir. the right of each individaal, not from the right of socie:y at large down to the individual Without the right to bave and to hold. to earn and to sequire im the individual, we should become mere savages and brutes; and on the principles of Socialiem, « feod- ing all alike. soclety would be the rameasa herd of animals, Though the inequalities may be great. and @ few may have great estates, yet Chat state of soci ty im which exch individual is free to exercise the riglt of acquisition, and to appropriate the thing acquired, is the greatest of blessings compared to the condition whieh munis proposes tocetablich.
