That ‘the aid alarming ineresse of taxation has, as these plaintiffs believe and charge, been for the | mest part eceasioned by the negligent, wastefal, | a eee conduct of the Common Council of city. The cfieat of such annual increase of taxes has already been to indueo large numbers of persons, doing and transacting business in said city, to re- | ve ae of the limits thereof, to avoid the onereus | irty ow: id cit 0 New Pro} o' ity. atiffs farther show, that the said city of ork is an ancient and charter city, and t] body politi and corporate, under the name ef the Mayor, Alder- ud Commonalty of the eity of New York. jhe powers of the said Corporation are held pon the trust that they s be used and | by them id city, without aay fraud, cerruptica, evil practi ir dessit. further show, that under th 0 And the plaintiffs laws of this State, the said Corporation are missioners of highways, and as such havethe power of making repairs upon the streets of said city, and to make them useful and convenient for all the in- habitants of said sity, and travellers and sojeurners therein.

And the plaintiffs further show that in and by the chartor of said Corporation, and the laws of this Btate, the legislative powers of said Corporation are vested in the Boards of Aldermen and Assistant Al- dermen thereof, and monthly sessions of said boards are authorized to be held, commeneing on the first | Monday of each month, and to continue for such a period as, in their opinion, the public benefit may require; but neither board is authorized to adjourn fora longer period than three days, except by a resolution to be concurred in by the other body. The plaintiffs further abow that the last November session of said boards commenced on the first day of said month, on whieh day said Board of Aldermen met and adjourned to the fourth (then) instant.

Plane plaintiffs farther show, that on the 28th da: of December, 1852, Thomas E.

M., Miss Bacon delivered the ninth leston of her course of histori- eal instruction, at the Stuyvesant Institute—sub- ject, “The Fourth Group in the Primitive States—the Hebrews.” The fair looturer snid:—{ have divided the primeval States of Oriental antiquity into four frem India, on the east asd south, to the States of Asia Minor, on the north and west, being arranged 4n one, the Indo- Germanic group; the States on the Tigris and Euphrates, and on the ooast of the Medi- terranean, with that State of Syria which forms the connection between them, constitutes the second group, and I did not complete the deseription of the Btates of southwostern Asia. You will notice that the first of this group are collections of States from the outermost range of the civilised States of western Asia, whieh, in its northern and eastern limite, extends beyond the others The Assyrian constitutes @ narrow range, which is bounded by the others. I pass from these two to Africa and the Btates upon the Nile, in Egypt. I stated at the time that I hid a reason for the emission of that nucleus of States which existed in ancient times im the southwestern corner of Asia. India, Persia, Armenia, Chaldea, Assyria, Syria, and Phoenesia, have perhaps exerted upon our time direcily no ap- preciable influence—no direct influence which is very obvious to the world’s observasion. These people and nations have exerted a most important influ- enee upon us, and are continually doing 80; but it is a tranemitted influevoe, for the most part, which does not generally affect us Butl am now going to shew the great historic product of this Oriental era, to which all these States were msde te contribute There isa direct influence from that time which wo have felt ever sipoe we were born, and which has moulded us uneonsciously during the whole pericd of our moral existence. We come now to the most ex:raordinary pcople that history has ever , woo are wonderful in bit waar characteristics as a race, and also in tory. These le belong to the Semitic whose characteristics I have already explained; but they differ, in the most remarkable particulars, frem ali the other brancbes of that race which wo have noticed. I am speaking of the Hebrew race, whore hi is such as to embrace the products all those nations which have been presented to but I ean only now show them in the relief which the develepements of the eotemporary States it. Idid not sally complete the view whiel before taken of Expyt, or give to you any ade- quate idea of the spiendors of tnat Egy ptian eivili- sation whieh existed in those ages 1 spoke of tem- re and there, of separate centres of civilize- ion, which grew and united antil Egypt beea: | one; bat I did not 5; as fully as I should | have done, on the influences of the peouliari- ties of that country upon their national char- acteristics and their national history. I did not opeak to you as I should have done of the in- fluence of that river im history which rises in the mountains of Ethiopia—whicn invades the Great Desert of Sabara with « long tract of fertility and beauty. The tracks of rivers and the tracks ef hiz- tory in the East, and that mighty river, furnished the means of rapid and continual ee eer between those little States whioh grew in its valley, and contributed to that rewarkable and peculiar developement which Egypt exhibited in history; aud we findall along ite shores colossal remains Which show us what that ancient civilization was. But the links that connected these splendid monu- ments are brokem; yet there remsins enough of them to show that in that far off antiquity the Nile was a long stream of splendor In order to appre- ciate the subject I have to present to you, you must eall upon your ation to re-build that ruined magnificence it lies between two ranges of mountains, and on the east and west is shut out by mountain walls That upon the east contains the most inexhaustible quarry for these great colossal forms which man ereated, and porphory and granite, and various other kinds of marble existed there—and the art of mas took down the natural mountains, and raised artificial ones in the valley. Taere is no Lael 33 in our time like the strength that was exhibited in | those productions, for the rock was cut out, and | hollowed. and floated down tbe Nile, fors temple of the god inthe delta. The Holy scriptures, 1,500 years befere Christ, exhibits the state of arts which existed then, and the grandeur of the civilization and the defciencies of it. Here the lecturer read several vertes from the Book of Exodus, relating to the civilisation among the Egyptiaas, and the pow- or ef men in that time ihe monuments that remain of Egyptian civilization, exhibit seve- ral different races. One inhabited the pastoral districts, whose habits of lite differed entirely | from those who inhabited the cities of the valley. They drove their flocks whorever they could find | turage for them; and these wandering habits of Efe lea to totally different characteristics ia the people, and they came down, as such races always Go, upon the rieh inbabitants of the city, in those | | rte excursions, for woatever they could fad. ‘hey naturally hated cach other; and this is par- ticularly exhibited im the story of Joseph's first ap- nce in Egypt. One of these wandering shep- ord races was the Hebrews—**Out of Egypt have I called my servant.” M is the earliest cotem- porary historian. and here, therefore, is the place where cur seareh for she history of this wonderfal people must commence; und we must look at them a8 one of those races that bad settied in Fgypt, at- tracted thither 4 the fertility of its soil and other | circumstances They had beou there for ages when the voiee of history begivs to present them to us.

THE REV. HENBY GILES ON ‘THE INTERIOR LIFE.” The Rev. Henry Giles delivered a lecture at the Brooklyn Institute last Tuesday evening, being the eighth of the ‘‘New England Course,” upon tho above subject. A very fair audionce was present Tn commencing his subject, Mr. Giles stated that be had intended the lecture sbout to be delivered for another occasion; but circumstances impzlled him to deliver it this evening, aod as it wasan Irishman’s privilege to blunder, be would certainly be excused. He would dwell apon the Interior Na- tare of Man. He pictured, in beautiful colors, = winter’s evening in a cottage—the tun is setting im majestic splendor—stillness is in the air, and that stillness would be silence but for the hum of masic, like a song, that falls upon the ear. The wester™ aky is cunmolled with velaee like forms, and.1% eye is turned from earth te hesven Draw the ous tain, and observe » quiet household read » ne! paper, see a print of unequalled beauty, read wi sll or ® poem, or @ piece of philosophy which olevi the intelleet—and with all these the mind is With such associations come the ideas of rights wrong. Here has boon the provence of a peculiar life, like the setting sun, ani not like the se! sum—the setting sun threagh the medium the eye, but not through the mediam of intelleot—the soul in every spot is in the centre of infinitude, and every ides of epace and motion saz- gests a boundless universe—a beyond in which mind reaches # ouffitiency in everlasting space. The first faculty of tho interior nature is the re- sponsibility to . This camact be a mere reason- ing faculty. When alone, the reasoning comes into play, but, like other faculties, is sh if reaching @ conclasion. The mere of rea- soning cannot be # mediam to reach the idea of infinite. To suppose that there 1s an infinite Being, the contemplation of whioh ean excite 20 awe, is simply inconecivable. Mathematics even have na action im spiritual thought; it gives to intellect m ruileing in ts \deas, toe from wil Se ooe ee ee suffiein, eas, will, of while tf intelleot is siroumscribed. The td faculties do not enter the hears and silence doubt. or quiet fears, but leave the prob! of Iie and bein, here it finds it. Motaphysicians cannot . They do not explain the universe—in ing all is , im anotocr all is man, unt both God nor man are hidden from view. The roa~ faculty givoe us laws. not lives Logie indi~ usiverse traces the laws of order, but mere know! g° give uss know! ge of w God—we have tha idea of » supreme Boing in the soul. Astrenom: is the vastest and grandest of sciences, bat does not give us @ just conception of God. Ia allusion to the diseoveries of Arago, the Frenckz astronomer, and computing the number of and the distances of the heavenly bodies from the earth, which seem but like specks in the im@mitude of apace, he said the mere contemplation of these ob- jects transcends conception—imagina:ion iteelf oan- not approach to unravel the mystery of their being. It is begry - Heat me oan conten! the im- mensity of space, but it1snot trom such depths thas we derive the consciousness of good. But what ig the facult; by. whieh the existence of = God is as- certained itis not the reasoving faculty, mor the reverential faculty alone, which, although not ape ame Logie dim the enow ledge of Gods josophy may le now! a and may also lead you from him Religien instruction with truth. Maa ise religious conscious of the truth, and the soul is the faculty: of faith. The action of the religious faculty isa wership; but astronemy does not always lead te worship. The exaltation, in our day, ef mere mate- rial mechanism, has becomo a second , aad that is a worsbip of nature. The unity of man’s own being comes back to him. and nature is filled with Gods in ene case, and meture is Ged ia the other. A worship is prevalent in our day whick does not reach the spiritual in man or selene, bot magnifies carnal matter. We ecace net to what man is doing—what mun can i the uttermost in rié ef the earth. Did we net know him perishable, we should think him omni- potent; and yet minds richly gifted, who have traced the orbs and tred the borders ef immensity, have found no Deity—being cognizant only of matter, me order necessity, all being to them is em ofa God, looking out with ghastly eyes boundless space without faith—dwell in solitude and alone. The science of astronomy should bes minis- ter to faith, manifesting the grandeur of the works of God. The man of to day is full of aad troubles; but there is a spirit within him, and is that spirit there are unfolded traths immutable. Oveupying a speck he has diseevered worlds. Is it he who apprehends te become extinet, to be sent back to = mindless state, to lese his intellect, flask for an instant and then be ne more? No; the | knowledge of futurity is inherent in man.

Dr. Griscom, having been introduosd to the meet- ing commenced his lesture by saying thet we were at the bottom of @ great oosan of air, whieh sur- rounded us for a space of fifty miles; and what wag atill more singular, because it was not anders! mal whole.

It was widway between these two wonderful civilizatiens. They knew their heme was there, and they travelled frem the Bu- phrates to the eeast ef the Moditerransan, and jered for centuries there, a pastoral people, | the meuutains of Judes. Thon the provi- movement came and placed thow for agos under the Egyptian civilisation, After that they appear as wanderers again, for ® generation, inthe | Arabian derert, and the peculiar civilisation which existed in that time in Arabia was also absorbed | imte their culture Are we not right, then, in say- | ing thet thie one present to us the result of Oriental civilization. They were led from place to place, and absorbed the culture of each mation, and through that people we bave the civilization of that Oriental age coming inio ourown.
