The audience was partioularly nunerons, and included many of the most influential and liter- ary of our citizens. In accordance with the by-laws, Mr. George H. Moore wade bis ANRUAL REPORT OF THE CONDITION AND PROGRESS OF THR LIBRARY AND COLLECTIONS, In which he again aliuded to the serious tocosven- lence resulting from the want of accommodation, and ttated that there is now reqaired shelf-room for three thousand volumes, an¢l that, with the excop- tion of the prinetps! library room, all were 10 fillod as to make it necessary to uso them a4 atore rooms. Much remained to be dove to present ths bound books in » propor state of preservation, not lesa than 2500 volumes requiring binding or repsirs. Those which are atill unbound were of course less accessible, but tho Liorarian baa invariably endeav- ored to facilitate consultation, though sometimes with great loss of trme. Wrpecially was this tho ease with the newspaper files, of which he had the satisfaction to report ap inoreage during tho year of three hundred une?, in order for binding. The flea were of inestimable value and importance, and were rapidly giving to the collection a pre-em- imerce in the department. Tho collection of early newspapers, that is, thoge printed bsfore aud during the Revolution, bad frequently been rsforred to, and justly, with great satiniaction, ava treasure which cenld not he over estimated. Commencing with Bracford’s Gazette, eateblished in 1725. and including Zenger’s New York Weekly Journal (1733- 752,) the New York Mercury, (afterwards Gazetier and Gives 1752-83; the New York Werkly Post- Boy. 1743; Waymen’s New York Gazette, 1759-64; with Rivington’s Gazette, London Packet, and Helt’s Jowrnal, tho collection was, without doubt, the most complete series now Rerey ty Tho exooa- tive committee had appropriated ¢! for binding the MSS , and the 150 volumes ostimatel for ware nearly half done, and wouid bs complete by the O>- tober mecting in 1853. The catls upon the time ot the Librarian would oxpiain the slow progress of a work reqniring minute and careful labor, wita his ow; andes to insure the safety and preservation of these inestimable muterials tor history. A prospectus had beos issued tor the publication of she cotalogue, completed to January, 1853, anda svbsoriptidn sufficient to warrant the sxpense of printing would enable the Librarian to pat itia the bands of the printer at ence. Tho most valn- able and important addition to the library, was the doxstion of the Hon. Ogden Hoffman, through Mr. De Peyster, of the ‘Colden Papers,” whioh bore to our Colonial and ante-Rovolatio: history a siai- lar relation to tbat which oar other srreat oollec- tion—the “Gar pers”’—did to the history of the war of Indepen These papers would make about twenty-five volumes, in addition to those jast alluded to as in the process of binding. The Libra- rian regreted that tho “Ciinton Papers” are net pre- eerved in this or some other secure depository. A veluuble collection of newspaper outtings, in illue- tration of the life, public services, aud closia; hours of Hon. Daniel Webater, had been formed, which be (fir. Moore) hoped to fiad time to com- plete aud arrange. The librarian had corresponded with tho difforont Btates, soliciting copies of their legislative docu- ments, and the most favorable disposition prevailed. He had no doubt grants would be obtained from all the Brater; but a difficulty arose in tho want of some competent agent, or correspondent, to search the depositories ot the Siate dooumonts, and to select such 28 came within the grant. Tho Rastera and Middle States had so printed and presorved their jonruals end documents es to make almost an unbroken chain of records from an early poriod; but it was doubtful whether the Western and Southern Btates Led perfec; cots, oven in their own Btate li- braries.

PROFESEOR KOFPPEN’S LECTURE ON THE LATE DIs- COVERIES AND BRSTOBATIONS OF THR AUROPOLIS AT ATHENS Professor Adoiphus L. Koeppen, late of theOthonian College at Achens, was then introduced, and read the paper of the evening, which was on the above subject. It was a most enthusiastically delivered | and interesting discourse, illustrated by numer- ous water-colored paintings of the classical and beautiful relics referred to, among which were dif- ferent views ef the Partheaon, the Temples of Jupi- ter Olympus, and the surroundiag sconery. It would be impossible to attempt to do anything like justice in a report, much of the effect being produced by these adjuncts, and especially the style of the lecturer. He commenced by a general de- scription of the scenery as zen approach Attica, and come within view of the high rock on which stands the celebrated Acropolis, five miles from the cnast. The tituation choson was not altogetaer for stiect, but alzo for security. Ho then explained that Athens, like Rome and Constantinople, had boen built on bills, onpola meaning a citadol or capi | tol upon a hill.) The Greeks, in the carlicst pe- riods, were threatened with danger from pirates, ond placed their first city on a steep eminence, an: their temples on commanding sites. The lowor part of the city was enclosed in more ex‘ended wall: Under Pisistratus, the Acropolis was made the for- tress ot despotic power; and daring the days of the republic liberty it beoume the sanctuary of the gods, and of the arta, avd the heart of Athens itself, as Atbens was the heart of Holos. In 1838, the Turks had made this spot almost one | mass of heaped ruins, ,aud = hundred burying grounds, both for Christians and Moslems; end for years afterwards Greek widows continued to disinter the skelotons of their sonsand hasbands. A few years afterwards now life began to dewn, and mosqaes and seraglios wero nleared away, avd meny eplendid sculptures and insoriptions appeared. Here the lecturer, referring to his di , described the | positions of tke chief works of art, av thoy wore sound. Many of the wost valuable bas relievos, | however, could sever be restored, for Lord Elgin | | had been there before. (Applanse and laughter.) The beauties of that representing the butue of Marathon, in the colonnade of the Acropolis, in which | the Persians wero distinguished by their flowing robes and tewering tiaras, he dwolt on with much energy | | and warmti, as among those works of art which, | striking the half savage Scylia, caused him to ¢ claim, ‘ Let pardon be granted to Athenians on ac- | count of the glory of their ancostors!”” The Pro: | fessor oxplained the peonliarity of the Greeks in coloring theeo works of art 80 as to correspond or harmonize ro euperb!y with the scencs poh them, which was done and made permanent, it was sup- posed, by means of fire. Osher nations had never | had the ooldners to make such an attempt; ard the colder and more northern nations could a} ate nothing but the heavy cold | grey. Jn tracing tho history of these ruins, respected in succestive ages by 48, their crea- tors, and by moslems, under whose sway glittering minarets had akone above them, Christians, whose more modern statues and piotares had been depo- sited among them, exhibiting great inferiority to tho anoient ones—he several times alinted to the Vendalism oi Lo:d E‘gin, in hewing them down to bear them to “ smoky London,” where the fr monte were unmured in @ dresry voll in the Briti Museum, and quoted Byron’s lines: — Ob, Athess ! scarce oseaped from Turk and Goth, Kell eends a rathless Scotobman—werss than doth: aliusions which exeited much laughter. A descrip- tion which he gave of « moonligh< seone—the chaste light being reflected on the Acropolis, contrasting !t with the artificially illaminaved Mt. Pever’s acd | other seones he had witnossed—was extremely fine and the lecturs throughout wes loadly applanded | by an appreciating audience. Mr. CHaunczy, the Treasurer, on its conolusion, | moved the thanks of the Society to the leaned Pro fersor for his interesting and beautiful leoture. It | stirred tho blocd to hear again the histories of Mera- | i | that day witha large feast, to which the mission j and brought up inthe way of God That youta | very Oneida Indian Missionaries, On Friday evening, according to anvouncement, the missionaries of this tribe of Iadiaus, now locat- ed west of Green Bay, Wisconsin, held « meeting at the Forsyth atreet Methodist Episoopal Church. Rev. Henry Requa, the white missionary; Teh you: guy wuy hoy, an ordained proacher of the Oneida tribe, along with two other uative:, who aro atew- arde, were present. The services commenced by singing s hymn in English, which wes followed by prayer offored up ia the same language. At the conclusion of tho prayer, the pustor of the church, Rev. Mr. Waxsgiy, introduced Rev. | Mr. R:qua to the assemblage. Rev. Mr. Requa then roxe and said, thut he was glad to be thero that night asa reprosentative of the | Oneida tribe of Indians. The meeting was called for mistionary purposes, One of the ladians present was an ordained minister, and would pray to them in his own languege The other two were siowards, and ove of them would address them A great num ber of Indians had exabraced the gozepel, and wore a3 religious as they wore. The Indians are not stable becau: Sey are not educated, and when people are Dot educated they are wild and fanciful. The In dians want the Bible traualated into their own tongne, as there isnot one word of that book writ- tem on their language. For the purpose of acooin- lishing olfeos they had travelled from their rome to ask tho white man to give them the Word ofGod. Hoe then announced that one ef tho Indians would address them in his native tongue, and she otber ove would interpret it us be went along Mr. Pawues, which is his Eoglish name, then addressed the audience. He said thet he fels very thankfal for seeing such & large congregation thore that ovening. They might wonder what broaght them thero that evening, and what thoy wanted. They come to teli them that they are very poor, and want some money to educate their bresh:en There was atime when the tribo were not poor; thoy owned Jards and bowed their heads to no maa They are apart of the Six Nations, who carried cheir arms successfully against all their enemies. One bundred and fifty years ago they had everythiog they wanted, and begged only of the Great Spirit Tho white man came and asked thom for a pluce to lay down and sleop Thoy agreed to this. Toey took him for a brother, and gave him the pip» of ence to smoke. Other Indians were do! taed to rive the whites back. They strung theic bows aud pane their tomahawks for that pur pose; but their tribe defended them, and their chiefs did all in their power to protect the white warrior. In bie journey east he saw large white atonos over the graves of the white warriors, but | no such stones are p! over the Indian warrior’s rave—the poor indian is forgotten Hs heard that the white soldier raovived 160 acres of land as @ recompense. This is good ; but thoy give no money or Jand to their great warriors le did not come there to complain; if they gave him some money it was all he asked But they have sent them a good book, (meaning the Bible.) aud by it s great many of their tribo have been saved and are now in Heaven. They love the Bible, thoy love to read it; but of the Bible ony five chapters of Genesis and the Book of Isaiah are translated into their language. No Indian can translate this book, and that was the reason they wanted money, so that they oonld read the Biblo, and their ohildrenafterthem They came to the whites on acsount of theirold friendship, aud in the name of the Lord ho wished they would help them. * ‘Tho Indians then sung = hymn in their native tongue, which was listened to with groat attoation by the asnembh: Rev. Henny drees. He said it waa woll known to many thet the Oneida tribe of Indians were a portion of the Six Na- tions, which wore the most powerfal in the country, and carried their arms as far South as the Carolinas, avd conquered the Hurons and Algosquias Ia the time of the Revolution the Siz Nutions were in- duocd by British gold to take ap arms against tho Amoricans. The chiof of the tribe, Jobn Grant, in- formed the Oneids tribe that they shoald fight against the Amoricans; but they replied that they would not, but, on the contrary, would fight for them, which they did, and rendered them offsotuel service during that period which tried men’s souls. He then alluded to the re of our govern- ment in not providing for this tribe better than they did. He then alluded to the patience of the Indian; be know an Indian boy who suffered nine years from ® cancer in the face, the flesh of which was entirely removed. One of his eyes beoame blind, aud the other is mearlyso. He is sufferiag great id when asked if ho was not in great tor ure, e would reply and say, “‘that when he died he | would go to Heaven, and that would recompense him for all his troubles” His aged ther ex- nded what little she had im procuring medicine for him, until she has beoome a beggar; aod yet this woman is tho wifo of one of the old [udian war- Hors who fought for this country. The Oneida tribe are exceedingly anxious to enjoy a religious moet . He has known them to come seven miles on ® dark, wet night, through forests and swamps, with no other shoes than the moccasins, which are Dot a great protection Coe the woather, to at- tend a class mec! hen any of the tribe fall sick, and there is er of his life, his brethren Cee around his bedside, and talk of Heaven, aud be angels therein. In this manner they converse together until the son! of the dying man liao from ats esribly tenement ond ascends to the heavens above. These are called love meetings by the In diana. They huvo m day of thanksgiving 8very year, after the erops are ga‘hered in, aad celebra’e aries aro all invited. He thon alluded to the strong desire the Indians had to have the Bible translated into their own tongue. The Chinese havo the Bivle translated, an also have the Mobawks. and why cou!d not the Oneida tribe have it also?
