In these days of teowing presses, overflowing book- sellor’s stalls, and libraries deluged with floods damp literature, authors are a class devoutly to bo pitied. Over two hundred years ago, when Amorioa was a wilderness, and I'rance, Britain and Germany were yot rsa undeveloped pootical, literary, and scientifio are. the caustic philosophor la- mented that he had Jived a thousand years too Isto, and that his vocation was gone. How much worse offare we! Where isthe man who can boast an original conception, a maiden subject, a virgin idea? Few indoed are those to whom itis given to do more than tread the boaten track, and- gropo Blong in the footsteps of their prodooossors. Now and thon wo seo a young author, fired with B noble aim of striking anew path, lose himself in a labyrinth of mysticism, or poison the hoalthy Smpulaes of his heart by a sojourn amid the pesti- Sontial vapors of morbid sentimentality. Ono strives toatone for the dearth of ideas by adopting an eccentric style, utterly at variance with tho rules of English grammar. Another begets hobgoblins and elves, and peoples a fanciful Pandemonium with ‘monstrous shapes and impossible sprites. A third is delivered of men whose hearts have been fashioned ‘by some now process—thinking, feeling, and acting like anything but human beings. On the whole, there aro but few modern writers who lay any claim to originality to whom Dr. Johnson might not address his withering apostrophe: ‘Sir, there is much ia your book that is now, and much that is good; tho misfortune is, that the parts which are now are not good, and the parts that ura 800d are not new.” This could, however, hardly apply to tho host of wri- ters who, for some time past, have been inuadatiog tho country with mora! essays and treatises. religious and politioal dissorixtione, and fauny novels apropos ofslavery. They, atleast, cunnot be charged with “the utterance of anything original. From the crime of novelty they stund acquitted. They are content to republish, in a new form, the old argu- mente, p76 aud com, Whicl ve been bandied about in juvenile debuting & efor the last haif con- tury; and we are nos sure ‘2 laborious perusal of tho six volumes whove titles are aflixod to this paper has added anyining to ibe stock of informa. tion whish we durived, ssn years ago, from tho qeaintal spooches of Master Jemmy and Mastor Harry. We sro strc ined to think that our young friends bad ransacked the common store—the works of Wilberforco, Cuanuing, &., andthe debates 4m Parliament and Congress —with as muoh care and profit as the ladies and yontlomen who have under- taken to enlighten the world in these latter days Anu exception may be made in tavorofMr. John Floichor, who has emiched bi and oritiques of avti-lavery works, etrung togethor | in no very methodical fashion—with soraps of Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, aud Cauldaic, ornaments which aro likely to ensure for it a jarge salo among the read- ing portion of the community. But loaviag the dead langueges out of tho question, we prefor tho juvenile anti-slavery and pro-siavery philosophors, as being les prosy, more earnest, and fac more amusing. Of tha four novels now lying on our table, Mra. Marriot Beechor Sio*e's is tho only one which de- mands a lengthy notice wt our bands. ft is the wypa s- Plough two of them are professedly {ue antagonistic doctrine, they are but lum. inx ag of their successful prooursor, They are sauples of the host of trashy publisations which the uvwa ot the sale of nearly ono hundred thousead copies has called iate existence.

All those ebsolutists who were ready to dissolve the Union if their views wore not instant- ly carried into effect. eagerly propagated a work which iaculoated unconditional emancipation as a religious daty. Nor was the South less anxious to become uainted with a novel, which assailed their institutions with unwonted virulonce, and threatened to prove a formidable woapon iu the hands of their enomies. We roust in justice add, what we have already hinted, that ‘*Uncle Tom’s Ca- bin” displays considerable dramatic power, and a sound Knowledge of character ; were the personages all white, we should even venture to assert that ma- wy of thom are sketchod in vivid, life-like colors. Thue, if we calculate how many rabid abolitionists én the North, bow many slave-owners in the South, alarmed at tho alleged success of a work which preaches a crusade against their property, and how many curious idlers, or renders for mere amusemont scattered throughout the Union, were likely to be- eome purchasers of ** Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” we shalt probably find the figures boasted of by the publish- ers not he beyond the mark. To these causes alone, we apprehend, can its popularity be ascribed ; itcan never rank above absoiute medtvcrity as an artistic or # philosophical performance. The first blemish which strik»s the reader, ere he has peinsed a dozen pages, is the atrocious vulgari- ty of the diction, and the uttor carelessness of the style. It would really seem as though the suthoress, Bike those funny people who fancy themselves called upon io address foreigners ia broken Waglish, had conceived Lereelf bound to adopt the jargon of hor Dlack protegis. It would bea waste of time to quote particular instanoes: they aro soattered brough evory page. We find hor using the word “quite” in the sense of “very,” an idiom wo had believed peculiar to New England farmors. “ Mr. Bhelby,” saya she, * bad specriated largely and quite loovely,” and ‘* Old honest, Van Trompe was one guile a considerable landvoldor,” &c. With a view probably to strengthen ber favorite theory, by speaking of tho whites 2s moro cottlo, Mrs. Stowe says, ‘ {t is an undisputed fact that our grandmo- thersraised some tolerably fair men and women.” She talks of the “ prinoe-like movements” of a little girl, and contrasts them with ** her black, keen, subtle, cringing, yet acute neighbor: '—a somowhat puzling steing af epithota.

Eva doesn’t sweat anything like thas. Such passages completely mar the effect of the well drawn portions of Marie de Sto. Clairo’s portrait. But wo have graver charges to bring against “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” than coursonces in the style, or inconsistency in the characters. ‘This is no common gabelipenny novel, resting its olaima to pubiic favor on a well-woven plot, or stirring inodents. We give Mrs. Stowo much credit for her judicious economy of death’s-head-and-croes-bone soenes— overtecr’s lashing slaves to death—women brutally whipped, or treated still worse, &c. She hada Geeper purpose than mere pandering to the vulgar thiret for atrocitics. She addresses herself more to the Christian, to the thinking man, than to tho sub: soribers of circulating libraries. She aims at osta- blishing, on a new and impregnable basis, the groat fwot of the moral and intellectual equality ot the white man and the negro, and assezis it in every possible variety of language in fifty difleront passa ges in her book. Such a Aookciae wo believe to b> fulao; and hold that we should be culpable in allow- anes to go forth unquestioned to the people of thi: hon, Jf we had no evidence beforo us of the inferiority of the negro intellect, if we had no truthful accounts of their unparalleled degradation and depravity in a state of freedom in Atrica, if we had no chroniols dating from ages long since past, and proving the un changeable character of the black man, we shoul: still refuse to believe that any individual of averagy reason could look upon the physical form of tue negro, end seriously argue that that degraded order of human beings was intellectually or moraliy equal to the Coucasian race. We will not nszumo the task of pronouncing on the dootrine which is now projcssed by many leading philosophers, vis : that in the gravd scale of animal development tho African negro is the connecting link between the sonia and man, Whether the developement theory bea paradox or not-—and i's most zea'ous ussailants must admit tho weight of the circumstantial evi- dence on which it rests—there ean be but little doubt among men of learning that the analogy between the physical structure of the Chimpanzeo and that of the negro is as close as that bovween the latter and the white mau. Tho eminent Lawrence, quot- ing and commenting on Cuvier, tells ug:— ‘the negro structive approximates unequivocally to fthe moukey. {t mot only differs jrom the Cau. cesion model. but is distinguished from i¢in two reapoeta —the intellectual cbaracters are reduced the animal fea- tures enlarged and exaggerated. No person, however little conversant with natural history or phyziology. can fuil to Mcognise a decided approach to the animal form ‘This inferiority of organization is attended with corres- ponding inferiority of faculties; which may be proved, not so much by slaves, as by every {aot in the past his- tory and present condition of Africu. p 215. Colonel Hamilton Smith, tho well known physio- » and a bitter enemy to slavery, meuiions several points of resemblance between the simia aud the negro, and Jays stress on the shortuess of the negro humerus, and length of tho forearm, in which particular the ¢imilarity is very striking.

Articulation is, doubtless, a t step: but who can draw a line betwean the highest kind of instinct and the lowest order of 2 The experiments of ne lists have proved t the pure negro can learn bat few thing which cannot be taught the baboon, And the grand qualities which place man at the heed of the animal soale—the generalizing powers of zon, the love of the unknown, the uptitnde to ob. serve new phenomena and new relations—are as rare in the one as in the rr. But history converts {hTSpeoulations of philoso- hy into positive facia. Wherever the negro has een isolated, he has been a savage ; wherever he has associated with the white man, he has been a slave. Domberger, who spent twelve years in Africa, states that the habits of the aborigi- nees were those of the brute ereation; that they had no fixed rosidences, and, as fur as he could learn, no Janguage in which the. could hold intercourse with each other. Caunibal- ism, says Lander, is the ruling social trait of the negroes in Africa—tho kindler affections of the heart, the domestic ties, are unknown to them. The slaughter of their follow creatures is their chief amusement. Many nations subsist solely by war and rapine. Lopez, Dappus, Burckhart, and all the other travellers in Atrica, bear a similar testimony to the degradation of the native tri dames Ii. Alexander, a recent writer, says— “They did not koow ono yeur from another. Ag to their own age, thoy knew no more what it was than idiots. Some even had no names. Of num- bers, of course, they were nearly or quite ignorant, few could count above five; he was a clever follow who could count his ten fingers. Above all they had not the least idea of God, or a fature state. ‘They were literally like the beasts that perish.” Such are the negroes at home. Such is the race which Mrs. Stowe fen, calls “ an exotic of the most gorgeous and suporb countries in the world, deeply imbued with a ion for all that is splendid, rich, and fanciful.” Such tho people whom Mrs. Stowe foresees “* exhibiting the higheat form of the peculiarly Christian life in their gen- tleness, their lowly docility of heart, thoir childlike simplicity of affection, and facility of forgivenoss.”” Gentleress of boart, forsooth, among the most in- corrigible cannibals on the globe! Docility of affection among a race accustomed for centuries to wiurder theit kin, and gell their childron to slave dealers! Uaoility of forgiveness among tribes whose feuds luet for centuries! Neither in ancient nor in modem times have tho negro race achieved @ single step towards civilus tion. They have neither books, nor a language, nor even an alphabet or a hiorogly ph.. They, alone, of all barbarous tribes, do not even possess a system of theogony. They have not mastered the elements of science or ait. They have nevor understood what they learnt from the white, and as soon as they were removed from the sphere of his direct influence, have invariably relapsed into barbarism Even Chriatianity of three centuries daration in some parts of Afcica has not boen accompanied by a progressive civilization. And it is with these historical data bofore her that Mrs Stowe makes her hero cry ‘‘ for a nation, a country of his own,” and “thinks that the African race has peculturities Ph to bo unfolded in the light of civilization and Christianity, which, if not the same with those of the An; kon, may morally, of even a hi type.” She jat the only traits of high morality and superior intellect which have boen witnessed in colored individuals on this continent, have been clearly traceable to the intermixtuare of the races, and the infusion of Saxon or Celtic blood. She is not aware, perhaps, that very few of the slaves in the South are pure negroes; wherever intelligence isto be found, there the skin reveals the white descent. This is not the place to show that Mrs Stowe’s polities are ona par with her philosophy and cibuology. No ouo pretends that slavery is a blessing ; the way to got rid of it is the question. We seo no sound reasons for supposing that at any future time the whole population of the globe— from the high bom Anglo-Saxen to the half monkey in tho woods of Dematas—will be placed on a footing ofperfect oquality.

New Buildings in the City, IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FIFTRENTA WARD. The improvemonts of this ward consist, for the most part, of dwelling houses bolonging to some of may bo termed the “ aristooratio ward,” for nearly all the houses im it aro occupied by the moss feehionable and wealthy pooplo of the oity. Tho houses hore are maguificeat. Brown stone svoma to be the rego, particularly in Fifth avonue.

This will make the Sixth avenuo one of tho greatest thoroughfaros iu tho city. Below is alist of the now buildings now erecting in this ward:— W. W.

They acknowledge that truth can only be arrived at by discussion ; but when it comes to practice they do not seem willing to abido by their declarations. Hence, they are dogmutio, and it is worthy of remark, that dogmaticn is not con- fined to one sect aiono, but generally the attribute of all religioni: Viven those who have thrown off the superstitions of other days are as much opposed to practical free discussion as the most bigoted funa- tic. Now, the true obféct which every one ought to have in view should be to endeavor to find out the truth, no watter what cherished opivions wo will thereby bave to give up.

The lecture was in- tended to form one of a series which are being deli- vered at intervals, and on which discussion is invi- ted. On the present occasion, the lecture was | delivered by Mr. Sheppard; but prior to that gon , tleman commencing his discourse, Mr. Bunn moved that Mr. Holland take the chair, which having been seconded and carried unanimously, Mr. Holland complied with the request, and opened the proceed- ings by reading the advertisement convening tho meeting. He then announced that Mr. Sheppard would address the meoting, and that after the lecture any one would be at liberty to discuss ‘aang which the lecturer might bring forward, but no one was to continue an argument longer than ton minutes. Z Mr. Suerrann began by observing that Bacon is justly regarded as the father of inductive philoso phy, for previously the right principles of puiloso- phy were unknown. Tho scionco of tho olden time was mainly composed of dogmas, haying little of order or discrimination. Bacon taught that the right way to discover truth was to observe and re- cord material and obvious facts, and thon to use the judgment, and ascertain tho principles to be reduced therefrom. Since his day, tho world has moved on in an accelerated ratio of progression; but notwithstanding that theese axioms of Bacon carry conviction upou their face, from being based upon sound logic, it is only within a com ei few years that. they have boon sc- nowledged as vorrect; for whon thoy wore ficst propounded, and even for many yoars aftor, they met with a great amount of opposition hero.

Ono of tho many oaucos why so many members of the legal pro- fess attain to such eminence in this eowatry, ina Political point of view, is thoic having alwaya control over themseives when en- gaged in argument. When thoy havo been iu for thore they were under oertain restrictions. ‘ho judgo on the’ bench enforces the rules. ‘To he sure they take x wido latitude in sometimes abusivg wi neeses, but, nevertheless, they do not lose self con- trol, fer though they disengs poiuts with the g est exergy, yet they always observe the ri nived decorum. Lawyers, who have opposed e other in the court, are friends outside. Now this is not the caso with any other profession, and amongst the clergy, in particular, there is a sud want of this enviabl mode of arguncnt. In their phillipies against each other they do not seruplo to throw out insinuations against character and motives. Fow questions, indeed, haye been dis- cussed ou their merits.

Thus we are now frecmen. If we don’t like to work under one man, we can go to another.

Betore Honorable Judge RKoowvelt ACTION ON ALLEGRO MERCANTILE YEAUD Seer. 27.— Magrath § HMasbruck vs. Brush & Eastman, and Huner, Swawm & Varnum —Pbia was an action to recover tho value of 250 kogs of Jard, obtained by Hanter, Swain & Varnum, on tho 2d Decemoer, 1850. Ic is alleged that Mr. Swain camo to the plaintiffs to purobaso 500 hogs of lard on credit. The olork whom he aaw refused to soil on tho condition offered, but asked him if he could pay for it on delivery ; and he said he could, and, at the same time, referred to soveral persons aa to his colvoncy, amongst whom he named Brush & Hast- man, and clso Mr. Biddell. Tho plaintiffs’ agont called on Bruch & Fastwan, who told him thet the house was good, and that thoy (Brush & Mastmen) had sold them artioles on oredit, He then applied to the other roference, who also said he had sold them goods on credit, and that Hasbrook bad put $5,000 into the concera. On these repro- scotations the plaintifls ugreed boaull the 500 kegs of laid to Huntor, Swain & Varnum, for cash on aclivery. Whon the termsof sale were agroed upon, Swain told bim that Varnam was in the oarting business and that he would carry the goods, but that it would take three or four days to complete the delivery. On the 7th of December, the morning after the last delivery, the clerk of the plaiotiffs cailed at the store of Hunter, Swain & Co , buttound Lone of the partion there. On the 9a, Swain camo to the plaintiffs and asked then: not to send in their bili for a day or two ; butthey said that they oxpectod to | bo paid on delivery. Tenppenrod that the defendants, Hunter & Go., tivo onlled on the other defend Brush & Mastmen, for wn cxionsion of time for lh that they had purchased from them.

Tno action of ferred to substitutes another remedy and fomedies heretofore obtainab! forms may be obtained by civi the provisions of this chapt: ia in chapter 2, of title 15, of vin . cular obepter makes no provision for actions be- tween private individuals, but only for aotions im the namo of the people, or which ‘are of a publio Oharsoter. As the section abolished the which tbe private citizen, n# woll aa the publie, bad, by sewe facias, and declares that tho reme- that writ may still uuder the provisions of dics formerly obtainable by obtained by civil action, * this chapter’’—and the chapter 2 referred to makoa no provisioa for any action by the citison—the words ** this chaptor™ must refer to some other chap- tor than that one, if they admit of two meaniogs. Livery scot of the Legislature forms a distinot ter in the list of the acts of the year in whioh it paesed. The oode of procedure is chapter 438 im the jaws of 1349, and that chapter does provide » re medy by oivil action for the citizen as woll as the people, and is, therefore, the chapter referred te by section 428. This being so, these plaintidls might commence a vew action in the Common Pleas, against the defendant, if be resided im thia county, and in that new action have # pew judgment, that execution should issue ee- cording to tho force, form, and eflect of the first judgment; for by the express terms of the code, ** tho remedies heretofore obtainabie by sctre factas, may be obtained by civil actions.” The fail ro: dy, therefore, of tho old writ, with all ita pay is Tf, i ee. < which wero essential to the pinintiil’s rights, retained, aud is still obtainable by action. the new action, the plaintil could’ uot have judg- w ment, that eavcution suguid s 1o tho lunes that the dove the dackesing of the first judgment, tue plaiatit would Lot bave what the code gives bine all the remectes heretotore obtained by seive factas.” Ie Was not deniod that the plaintif would have suok relief in an setion inthe Commou Pleas Toro ta in tho code, or in any otuor law, whioh » plaintiff fom suing, et hia clection, in Vices, or Supreme Court, whether action be founded en a judgment er a contrant; aud in ny action the Sup eo Uourt must give the fume hing of relief or judgment toast the Gommoa i be bouna to gi But it is said, code, und by furmor statutes, tie of tho ‘execution ix prescribed, and (but ia, that it ehali direct the sheriff “to sell the real property belonging to the defendant, on the dey when the judgownt wos docketed in the ” (Code, tee ZA9, eubd. 1;) and that the judgment bero referred to ia the judgment which ordora the execution, ‘bere is no doubt thesia most oases that judgmont would saciefy iho mea ing of the Jaw.

Mr, Varnum was the owner of a cart, aud he said if they gave him time enough he would cart the goods bymseif. This was not a credit, butao nience in the mode of delivery. He said that he ght want a weck for that purpose, to curt it across the ferry to Brecklyn. On the 2d Decembor, Mon- day, the sale was mad it was closed that day, endentored on the books, On the next day the cartage commenced, and seventy-two kegs wero ta- kon ; the next day 312 kegs; on the next day some more, and on the sixth day eighty one kogs wore carted, and that, together with tue previous num- ber, makes up thé 600, Lho moment that delivery wes conpicted tha payment was dus, and it isnot | contended tras Lhe money was to be paid until it was completed.
