We are receiving letters and information from every portion of the country, complaining of the condact of the Art Union, of this city, for their Postponement of their lo:tery distribution, contrary to the pledges with which they commenced their operations of last year. Some of these letters in- form us that the five doliar tickets are offored for four dollegs and a-balf, and others intimate that on application to the agents to refund them their money, in consequence of the violation of the pledges made by them, they at once refused to do so. There seems to be no limit to the discontent en- gendered inthe public mind, both in this city and throughout the country, againat the management of the Art Union, in the conduct thoy have pur- tued reletive tothe last lottery distribution. ‘The history of this institution—ite rise, progrose, culmination, and deoline—is very curious. At oar sure we shall give it, in all its interesting and pieturesque details. At present, wo bave only time for a few leading facte. The Art Union reached its culminating point in 1819. During that year it eold 18,960 tickets, pro- ducing an spnual revenue of nearly one hundred thousand dollars. Since that year it Las been regularly declining; and at the termination of 1851, the subscriptions were only about twothirds of what ihey were two years previously. The causes of this sudden decline are as interesting and ag coto- rious as those of the vicistitudes of the seasons. Tho maneg! bave been igsuing esveral bulletins in explanation of their misfortunes, and we have already published one issued under the sanction of all their names; but the following, which, it seems, bas been issued to enlighten the ignorant who hive besond New York city, is the most remarkable expoeition which we have yet econ on this subject:— American Ant Usion, New Yona, January 2, 1882 ‘The Committee of Manngement of the Amerioan Art Unton having postponed the distribution. invite your atcention to this circular. ‘The great bulk of our subserivers have never paid their dues till December, while most of the pecuniary obligations of the institution must be entered into befare thattime, We have, therefore, Lo assume, every year, as the besis of our operations, a number fo much Ives than that of lest year, aa to be eontidered certain, In 1849 +d 18,960, whion fell the next year to 16.510, prineipally by reason of the Jenny Lind excite ment and expensive concerte during the fail of tuat year, Althouch that cacke was temporary, we did not easume en increage the next year; but with juster caution as- sumed only 15,00C—# number much less than any year fince 1647—-and made our engagements accordingly. Tue fact ust, up to December 4, our list was 610 more than last year, indicated cur calculation, The month of De- however, was extremely cold and inciement— caordivary scarcity of money prevailed through- out the country, and Kensuth excitements and festivals engrossed the thoughts of all, and drew upon the purses of many thousands, and our lst of subsoribers is only 12,6(0—not encugh to meet the engegements already entered into, Ty we had distributed all the paintings, end charged the debts to the subseriters of next year, or if we had taken from the catalogue the most valuable pictures, on the faith of which our members hed joined, and dis- tributed the residue. we should have so impaired the confidence in our good faith, end in the fatare opera ticpeof the Art Union, that we should have destroyed ‘an inetitution so important and nattonel ia its charao- ter, that ite loss would be & public calamity Commoa honesty and the duties of our trast determined us to postpone the distribation till the list shall reach 16 000 Pyery right minded member of the instisation should feel urged not only by that community of feeling which is the life of the Art- Union, but by his personal interest, his pride, and his patriotiem, to hasten this result. Ic will then be acoomplished in a few days. May we not ask you personally to persoade, st least, one iziend or neighbor to seud in bis subscription without delzy, direct, or through the nearest Secretary? The induce- ments to subscribe were never greater. The six en- gravings which each member will receive are fully equal to the best we ever issued. and are alone a greater return than any similer institution has ever made, and the co!- lection of paintisgs is superior to apy former one. There need be no fear that the American Art Union will not continue to prosper. The people are its friends, end will continue their rupport. It bas extended a taste for art through » larger extent of country, end smong more pereons, and has at this moment two thou- tend more subscribers, than any other Art Union in the world, The ccmmittee, in their gratuitous labor aad | responsibility, have mo personal ends \o serve. The causes Of some attacks upon them by an wnscrapulous | prees in this city are well understood bere, and they are now siluded to ouly to sey that they ore harmless in the city, are false and unfounded, and that their authors will have an opportunity to anewer them in acourt of sony order of the Committee of Mansgement.

We have every reason to believe that his connection with the Art Union Institution, from his public position in New York, had ae deleterious an efloct on the recoipte of this institution as bis policy had on the fortunes of the Courier and Lngurer. Accordingly, in | 1850 the subseriptions to the Art Union fell from 18, to 10,310,infone year. But it didnot end boro. When Mr. Raymond wae compelled to leare the Courier and Enquire, on account of hie dangeronz anti-slavery eentiments, he formed a combination with certain interests, and started & new pen- by peper in September last. Here the same influence was developed, in & manner more marked and injurious to the popularity of the Art Union. We have the best reasone for be- lieving, en the authority of one of the mana- gere, and also ef the Post Office, that the Art Union management procured @ large quantity of | the fret numbers of this new penny paper, whith wat circulated, at their cost, to & large oxtent throughout the oountry. Thies act was of con siderable aid to the penny paper, bat of no earthly uee to the Art Union, but, on the con. trary, extremely injarious, for it undoubtedly pro- duced the same eflect on the rece’ of the insti- tution, ond evento a much groater extent, that the | seme connestion hs 0 Cou During the inet yoar, the Yeon a further reduction down to and this caused the necessity for the post of drawing, contrary to the Pledger tc the pu Mic, and contrary to their constitution and ver and Ln fore, there has 500 subsor quire These a @ sbecinte and incontrovor caused the decline during that year, !s of | | seourt and jury of this city, If they give us the chance. It is idle, therefore, ta talk like children and simpletons of the “ Jenny Lind excitement” of 1850, or the “ Kossuth exeitement” of 1861, affuct- ing in any degree the interests of the inaiitution. They have been injured by an anti-slavery excite nynt of their own fostering. The Art Union have tolerated, in their management, and aided with their moncy and means, the samo anti-+lavery ag’ tator who introdused that subject in the Logista- ture of New York, and almost run the Courier and Enquirer into the ground. The same consequences will attend the destiny, and such conduct and policy deserve, the reeult, which we now predict will befall them. Tue Granp Revotvrionary Commirrre, axp Hun@anian INDEPENDRN?%.—We see from the Koa- uth journals, that the Revoluticnary Committee, } who have been for some time devising sshomes for the issue of Hapgarian boads, have at lass suc+ ceoded. The cortidcates are alroady out, and they anticipate the demand among tho Wall street bro- kere, fer these valuable socurities, will be very preceizg. Wo are not told how many millions it isintended to raise in this way; but they will, doubtless, sell as many millions as thoy can—sup- pore we say fifty millions. The loan will be in Wall street to-day, and an effort will bo made to quote it. The bonds are to be issued in sums of one, five, ten, twenty, fifty, and a handred dollars, each bearing the signature of Kossuth, and made peyabls by the government of Hungary upoa the shment of a republic. have reseived some of thero covtificates, which aro ornamented with a handsome vigaetts— two female figures, one at either side-—and an ex- cellent likenoss of Kossuth in the centre, with his baton one side of his head.

These are valueblo bonds to sellin Wall street, and be redeemed by the brokers in tho Exchange. The prospect, however, of receiving oithor interest or principal is not very brilliant in the present state of affairs in Europe. Probably, however, all the back interest wiil be paid threo days before the day of judgment, and the principal! three days after. The grand committee to make revolutions and pro- duce insurrections in Europe, is a body of men of great commanding intellect—its principal membors being Genin, the splendid hatter; Barnum, the magnificent showman ; Simeon Draper, the friend of W. H. Seward; and Greeley and Raymond, the | editors of the two Kossuth abolition journals. Thia scheme to raise the wind, backed by the influence of Barnum, may succeed much better n Wall streot than the Fire Annihilator has done up town. Meantime, may we ask what has bsoome of the $40,000 or $50,000 already collected? Weare kept | inthe dark as to what has become of £0 large a | sum of money; and all we know is that it bas beon sent to Kogguth, and that he has sont it to London, | in the ehape of bills of exchange, to create, we sup- | pore, @ revolution somowhere in Europe. Wo would, in passing, suggest that the conduct of the operations of this Hungarian loan fund ought to be | entrusted to the generalship of Tom Thumb. From $40,000 to $50,000 for # revolution in Europe! This is all very amusing, very intoresting, and | very like children’s play, to speak in the mildest \ terms. Bat, while tho grand Revolutionary Committee are playing teo-totum with high prin- | ciples, and issuing loans to be quoted in Wali | street, are they aware that somo of the poor Hun- garians who accompaniod Kossuth to this oity, and were trotted around with him for show, are eiill dependont on the charity of tho Irving Lease, wufieriog mental tortures of the most acate kind, | {rom their present miserable position, aud without a ray of hope te cheer them for the future?

The lecture must, however, lose any obnox- ious influence which it might otherwise have, by its being misunderetood, in consequence of its dowa- right inconsistency and absolute absurdity. It is a mase of words, grammatically arranged, con- veying no fixed ideau, meaning, or information—a tissue of clap-trap, got up for the purpose of catch- ing a ‘bubble reputation” of prefound learning, from the semi educated classes of the community, and to start ‘* novelties” and tho ‘* newest fashions,” in order to draw in the old ladies and the young girls. The fact is, that the lecturer understood neither himself nor the doctrines which he preached, (much less their effect.) and, therefore, a3 2 conso- quence, bo left his audience in the game position. A proposition advanced one moment was contra- dieted by the one advanced the next, aad tho assumption ef one fine piece of theory was knocked down by @ gross practical argument o, illustration. He upheld the powers of intellect aod oj education; but recommended tho wisdom and edu- eation imparted by incessant dradgery, which, he contended, were better for tho masses than the schoolmaster; and yet, among the whole community, there ought to be unity of interests, political and social. To expose such palpable absurdities is a waste of time. The lecturer had, in fact, so far obfuscated himself by theorios and doctrines which wore boyond his comprehension, that his mind went beyond the conception of the rational, and qualited ite possessor for & receptacle in a lunatic asylum, among the pro- feesors of the various theories which are often to be found there. The class of wen to whioh the Doctor belongs conceives theories and observes practico; but such mon havo no idea of their connection or working, and much loss of their joint adaptation to the human race. They talk a great deal of the value of experience, but they reject every atom of it. They try to take advantage of the credulity and ignorance of their hearcra; but even in thi, we believe them to be disappointed, for we cannot believe they can be 80 bage as to swallow guch an amount of humbug, administered in a most pal- pable and clumsy manner. There can be no fear that the visionary doctrines of sccialism, or transcendentalism, will gain ground by tho advocacy of such men. Our social and poli- tical relations are too etrong and too combinod to be disturbed by such flimsy notious, which oan never resolve themselves into effective substance. So much, forsooth, for the doctrines of oxporionce which the lecturer entertains. The audience who attended the lecture were numerous and respect- able, and we carnot help expressing a regret at tho infliction to which thoy were subjected, andthe very unsatisfactory stato of mind in which thoy must—one aud all—have been left, if they really listened to and regarded the discourse. Upon the eubject of slavery (which hud nothing to do with the object of the lecture), the leoturor’s ideas were really grotesque—an anti-slavery man in principle, but a preserver of the Union, and the advocate of slavery to that extont; and that after telling us that it was all a matter of conscionce. Fivi.Morg anp nis CapineT--ExrEcTep Fxrio- SION OF THE WHOLE Concern.—From the private accounts which we receive from Washington, we should not be surprisod to hear very soon of an cn- tire explosion of the present cabinet of Mr. Fill- more, by the secession of Webster, Corwin and Crittenden, either in a body or by single file, at respectable distances behiui each other. Myr. Fillmore, it is well known, consents tobe a candidate for the Presidency before the whig con- vention. Webster, Corwin and Crittenden aro also candidates; and there is not, of course, the kindest feelings between the President and these mombers of his cabinet. But, in addition to this, it 8 now ascertained that Webster, Corwin and Crit- enden sre vory singularly mixed up with the Moxi- can and Florida claims, to a very remarkable extent, which Jooks very much liko Galphinism all round. Mr. Fillmore himself is a pure and just maa, and begins to euspect that bis own position and his ad- ministration demand purification from all the taints of Galphinism. Thus matters stand at pro- sent—how Jong, no one can determine. The Rival Opera Troupes.
