If this money had beea expended judi- ciously and wisely, as it ought to have been, how vast would have been the benofit to art and artists, and how different would be the story we should now have to tell the public, instead of the beggarly ac- eount of an empty treasury, and a debt of $9,000 due for pictures bought and promised? What has become of the $445,603 20? Pray, let us have tho items. To this day, we believe not » single state- ment, with the names, dates, and sums paid, has ever been given to the subscribers or the pub- lic. Tho true enuse of the decline of the Art Union, therefore, whic: appears to have begun in 1850—a year of great prosperity—is the opening of the eyes of the community to the violation of the laws and the constitution of this State by the lottory operation: of the committee, together with their bad management for the last two or threo years. The people have lost confi- dence in them on account of their wasting the funds, a large portion of which, instead of being applied to the advancement of art or painting, has been thrown away on silly and ridiculous publica- tions, such as the Art Union Bulletin, and of engravings which were mere daubs, and for useless advertisements in papers of little or no cir- culation. The abolition organ of the Art Union itself be- gine now to admit the mismanagement of the con- cern. It says, ‘tho distribution ought to have taken place three months earlior, and that in the postponement they did not judge wisely, and that it has undoubtedly affected the subscription inju- riously ; and it is to be hoped that a similar neces- sity will be avoided hereafter.” In fact, every- thing we eharged against the Committeo of Ma- nagement is admitted by one of themselves, and he the organ of the whole batch. No ono ever charged the managers, who are respectable men enough in private life, with any personal dishonesty; and this cry is raisod for the purpose of shifting the ground and changing the true issue. It isan at- tempt to raise a dust, in order that the managers may escape in the midet of it, and that the public may be blinded to what we really did allege against them—utter mismanagement, illegal prao- tices, and misapplication of the funds to silly publications. ‘These admissions, therefore, coming from their own organ, are very conclusive, and the reader will form a tolerable idea of the real amount of the blundering, when so much is admitted by their own organ and one of themselves.

The epecial eommittee appointed by the Common Council to invite General Houston, United States Be- nator, to meet bis friends in the Governor's room, in the City Hall, conducted the distinguished gentleman to the xoom, about half past twelve o’elock, yesterday after- noon, where a great number of our citizens were as- sembled, for the purpose of being introduced to him. On his arrivel, the Mayor delivered the following address : “General Houston—It affords me pleasure, as chief magistrate of this city, to welcome you, and to tender to you, on bebalf of ite inhabitants, their wari hospitality, ‘The citizens of New York delight to honor those dis- tinguished gentlemen, whose services in the cause of our common country eutitle them to their regard—and, sir, I know of none more worthy of the welcome which we | now tenderto you Your firm, unwavering patriotlam, yeur earnest efforts in kghalf of ail measures calculated to ensure the perpetuity of our glorious institutions, oan never be forgotten, but will appreciated by your grateful countrymen—and when you shall have closed your mortal career, the memory of those services ‘will be cherished as @ precious legavy. and your example held up for the imitation of posterity.” In response to this address the General made the fol- lowing remarks :— “IT thenk you, Mr. Msyor; I thank the Common Ooun- oll of New York and the citizens who constitute this en- ightened community. This address is entirely un- expected—I bad not anticipated any other course than that of a simple introduction to a few gentlemen, and did not accordingly prepare myself for avy response to ex- press my acknowiedgment for so flattering a compliment, It is only a renewed manifestation of that hospitality which i have from time to time experienced from however, feel impressed with # sense of obligation; and when you bave been pleased to advert to the services I have rendered to my country in the capacity in which I was placed.

At the conelusion of his remarks, which were warmly acknowledged by all present, the Mayor introduced him to a great number of bis audience, with whom he cordially shook hands. The General seemed to enjoy ex- eeilent health and spirits, and appears to poesess as much sirength and activity as ever—a remark which we heard frequently elisited trom several of the visiters.

The Judge, in his charge to the jury, deliver- ed the following remurks:--The Congress of the United Btates has aboli flogging on board merchant vessels, a8 Well as on board men of-war, and the right which the master of a veseel formerly bad to fing his crew does not now exist. With the expediency of abolishing flogging the jury had nothing to do; it was sufflcient for them, in | this cage. to know that such was the Jaw, and to admiair | ter it impartially, An effort was being made, or had been made, to restore to ship masters the right to flog their crews; but until that was done, the existing lay must be faithfully exeonted; aud even if they should be satisfied, | from the evidenee, that some punichment was necessary for the tenance of discipline, still, as the mode of punishment was adeolutely prohibited by law, the plaintiff wasentitled to damages, The smount was solely a mat ter forthe consideration of the jury.

For the last week past, a suit has been pending before the Court of Common Pleas, of which Thomas Downing, the oyster dealer, wes the plaintiff, and John J. Levy and others, defendants to the suit, ona claim for a supper furnished some two years since, by Downing, at @ ball given in the Seventh ward. This suit was terminated yesterday, by a verdict for the plaintiff. Certain matters exhibited themselves during the progress of the trial, respecting the evidence of a white man named James Macormack, who represented to the court prior to the caee being given to the jury, that the testimony Ate by him was false and untrue—that he had been induced to swear to certain facts which he knew were false, at the suggestion of Thomas Downing, the plain- tiff in the suit. The son of plaintiff, named Peter W. | Downing, alse swore to the same state of facts as did held their State Convention on the 11th instant, at Columbus, a:d their proceedings may be regarded as the beginning ofa very formidable movement upon the Presidential question. They have not only adopted the most ultra resolutions on the slavery question, but they endorse, to the fullest extent, the doctrine of active armed intervention againet the spread of despotism in Europe. They are Kinkel a d Korsuth to the backbone—anti- slavery, intervention, scrip and all. They have named Jobn P. Hale for the Presidency; Samuel Lewis, of Ohio, forthe Vice Presidency; and have appointed their delegates at large to the Free Soil National Convention, to be held at Pittsburg in June. They have also eppointed speakers to stamp the State,in order to get up the agitation to the boiling point in the meantime. In a word, they are in for another Buffalo demonstration. the two great parties, and the election of President, in their hands—that is, they can dofeat either the whig just as they defeated Clay in 1844 and Cass in 1848. Ifthe Ohie movement is followed up in the North and West, to any considerable extent, and carried up te the November election, as it probably will be, then the game for the epoils, between the whigs funniest, and hottest battles that has ever taken place in the civilized world. Let both parties keep well to the windward, andlook out for equalls. Tus Post Orrice anp Cvstom Hovsr.—We understand that a project has been eet on foot to remove the public offices of the City Corporation to some other more eligible place up town, near Union equare, and thea to remove the Custom Howse to the Park, and probably, also, the Post Office. When thote projeota are carried out, a vory groat improvement will have been effeoted in the Empire City. The present situation of the Post Office is, in many respects, incommodious, and it serves to ron- der the narrow thoroughfares adjacont to it ovor- crowded and impassabl>. ‘The removal of the are imperatively required, by tho unprecedonted growth of the city—the vast and continued inorenge | of its mercantile intercets and of its population | ‘The amelioration of the air, too, and its effect upon | the health of the numerous ond industrious three hundred New Yorkers The Houre of Representatives, yesterday, passed the bill placing the miloage of the delegate from Oregon upon & footing with that of other members.

Levy, who seta forth in au affidavit that he (Thomas Downing) had induced the white m James Macormack, to commit perjury, by swearing that Mr. Levy was in Downing’s oyster saloon & few days previous to the 13th day of | March, 1850, and there ordered the supper in | question, axd that young Downing also swore toabout | the tame statements, thereby corroborating the testimo- | By of Macormack, which Macormack mow asserts is | false and untrue; tbat he was persuaded to swear in the | like manner at the instance of the elder Downing. The couneel for Downings waived the right to cross-examine the complainants, and offered bail. Thomas Downing was then «xamined according to law, and answered as follows:-—°l was born in Accomac county, Virginia; am 8 of and reside at No. 4 Temple street; as re- arge preferred against me, not one word of ls true.’ The son, Petar, was next exan d he wae 21 years of age, bora in this city, aud garde the charge, sa: am not guilty of the charge; whet Ihave sworn te istrue.” Macormack was | then examined in the like manner, and bail of $1000 re- | quired in each care. The Downings were then admit- | ted to bail, Samuel Cornish becoming the required | security, sweering that he was owner of the house No. 200 Fourth street, Washington square, worth $12,000 andover. The white man not beingable to obtain bail, ‘was recommitted to priscm to await his trial.
