Metropolitan Hall was well filled with ladies and gentlemen on Monday evening, attracted by the an- mouncement that several of the famous women of America—the reformatory Amazons—were to do bat- ‘We against the worn out institutions established and perpetuated by their great enemy, man. The Woman's ‘Pemperance Meeting was the object which ostensi- bly drew together such large assemblage; but perhaps, with three fourths of the persons present, jt was a more womanly sentiment—curiosity. Mrs. Bloomer, and the Rey. Miss Antoinette Brown, and Miss Susan B. Anthony, who oceupy the vanguard of the modern Amazonian legion, were announced as the speakers of the evening; and though there was a charge of 25 cents for admission, and though the wabject of discussion was the worn out theme of temperance, the hall, as we lave said, was well tilled. ‘The fair orators, attended by the Quixotic Mr. Gree- Bey, came upon the platform by the slip door, and, op motion of some other gentleman, Mrs. L. N. Fowler was appointed president of the meeting. That lady, whose apparel was not peculiar, aud who centented herself with the ordinary female robe, ac- eerdingly came foryard, and said she had not in- tended to participate in the meeting of this evening, and therefore had not a speech prepared. It was customary for presidents on taking the chair, to con- vey their sense of the honor conferred on them, and also of their own unworthiness; but ske thought humility was too frail a flower, and that those who say they have it most show that they have it not. | But, she would ask them, should not women be al- lowed to act in the cause of temperance? There were a few women there to-night, who had come to speak in the cause of temperance, and she would, therefore, bespeak the attention of the audience to ‘them. The Cuarmwoman then suggested that a secre- tary should be appointed, and Miss Rich was cordingly proposed and seconded to discharge the funetions of that oficial. The Presipenr then announced that if there were any clergymen or officers of tem present they would come jlatform. Two or three gentlemen, in response to and take their place on the 7 te this invitation, went to bear Mr. Greeley company. | Rev. Miss Anroinerre L. Brown, of Henrietta, New York, came forward, and opened the proceed- ings with preyer. tinguihed by dress, but the sympathetic tones of her voice, the earnestness of her manner, and ber slight, | youthful figure, created a deep impression in her fi- vor, It was plain to see, indeed, that however others might have made female agitation a profession, wit) this young reverend Miss, at all events, it was an enthusia: sm.

She wore a brown xilk dress, ending somewhere below the knee, coquet- ‘téehly trimmed with dark braid, and a pair of pante- Jettes of the same materials und trimming encased thoee lower limbs, pa Hace! to the imagination of the unconnected of the ot ex. Mrs. B., however, retained so much of feminine vanity and love of dress as to sport a handsome little knot of artificial flowers in her bair, and altogether, indeed, she looked remarkably well. She was received with demonstra- tions of applause by the audience, which she acknow- Jedged in a manner which showed that she was not Mrs. Bloomer ap- altogether unused to flattery, and then, having ‘taken her ition at the reading stand, she pro- weeded to address her listeners. Mrs. Bloomer prefaced her remarks by saying that from the commencement of the temperance re- form, woman had been told she had an important part to perform in it. That part she has, to the pre- sent time, nobly discharged. Woman imagined she was doing the cause good service ; but after a long and weary battle, <he sees intemperance the con- queror ; she sees her sons and brothers given up to it; she sees that ber prayers to ramseilers have fallen on hearts of stone, and her prayers to legix+ Jatares treated with scorn.

Mothers alo give children trong drink to keep them quiet ; they also timulate their mimal nature by permitting their children to use animal food, tea, and coffee. Scores of crim are thus made. Let mothers stady the physi f themeely id their children, and then their off spring will reldom become drunkards.

In another way, still more sinfal, does woman encourage drunkenness; by living in close commanion with a dronkard, and surrendering herself to his Insts. No greater sin is committed than for a woman to remain with a drunken hus Yand, and to perpetaste his vices in her offspring.

The drunkara has sacrificed the peace and happiness of all with whom he is connected, and he should be from society, and have meted out to him pt com- mensurate to his crime. The rum seller is always blamed, and justly blamed; but the @rinker is as guilty asthe vender. It is said that men could not get dronk if there were no ram sellers. Neither could there be any rum sellers if there were no drinkers, and rum sellers have as much right to sell as drunkards have to imbibe the poison. oman has suffered too much from the bugbears raised about her sphere, and itis time to treat all these ideas with contempt. CApplasee.) The law gives no protec- tion to the druukard’s wife, and she has no remedy; the law will do nothing for her, but it will throw its arm round the author of her misery—the ram seller. Woman never consented to such laws, and she should ever submit to them; and she must declare her in- | alienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hay iness, and enact laws for herself. (Syiptoms of a fal. lowship of feeling in this idea.) Woman is thought too good and too delicate to mingle in public discus- sions; but would that she was thought too good and too delicate to live in close companionship with a drunken profligate! Horace Mann was travelli: round the country lecturing on woman, and though there were portions of his lecture unexceptionable, still there were other parts which deserved the re- buke of every woman. (Sensation.) We would strike at the root of the evil, and remove the cause | of evil and despair. Far more noble in our eyes is the political field—that Stygian pool on which Mr. | Mann says we must not embark. Though woman is | now denied her right to speak hersentiments through | the ballot box. it is her right, nevertheless, (Aj | plause.) We do not invite woman to act in the me | sion pointed cut by Horace Mann—to visit the lanes and byeways, and abodes of wretchedness So long as the law says it is an upright business to | deal out poison to the public, so long will men be found to embark in it; but let a law be passed to pre- | Yent this. Itis the Maine law which we want, and | which we must have. To the attainment of this ob- ject we must al! direct our labors—women as well as men. This law gained, much yet remaius to be done. Let mothers be thoroughly and properly edu- cated, so asto be able to reara generation of good men and good women. Give us true mothers, true wemen, and the work is done. Women is herself beginning to recognise the great truth; but, first, she has a work to do; she must assert her right as an ual and responsible being with man. Ste se.) he must carefully look into all matters in which her interests are concerned, and claim a right to a voice | in the administration of the laws. | Mrs. Bloomer concluded amid demonstrations of applause, and the President announced to the audi- ence that Miss Brown would next address them. Rey. Miss Anvornerte L. Brown accordingly | came forward, and, with much enthusiasm, com- | menced:—And this is Metropolitan Hall! and this is a metropolitan audience! It would not be strange if we were overawed at the fact; but we are strong — strong in the consciousness of obeying “the still, small voice of conscience.” It is not new for the gush- jug tide of song to fow out in this hall from a wo- | man’s lips, till the imine udience should be im- mer-ed in its rapturous t And if our sisters may thus entertain man with song, may we not discourse of temperance, truth, and righteousness? (Ap- plause.) (Miss B. requested to he permitted to pro- ceed without such interruption.) No one thought that Jenny Lind was unwomanly. Some even thought she was angelic; and surely they would ex- tend as much toleration to those who appear in such a preat cause as that of temperance. There was a certain wise king, in days gone by, who was accus- tomed to have David sing before him, to exorcise the bad spirit; but she thought there was no bad spirit in this audience to be exorcised, and therefore song could be now dispensed with. She was glad tosee an audience like this assembled on such an occasion as the present; but she minant she could see in the expres- sive glances of some, that they were considered asfe- male Paul Prys, elbowing their way into positions they should not occupy; and such an effect Ta this idea on her that she was almost inclined to say, “I hope L don’t intrude.” (Laughte: But she came here to speak on temperance, and she felt that she “‘did not intrude.” ‘The Maine law!

There was $425,000 for | the Alms House, making the enormous sum of nearly | $1,300,000. They were called on to sit passively and | pass this grant, and if they refused to do so, they were mulcted in a fine of $250. All they had to do, therefore, was to grant it, and it would be for their masters to see what was to be done. He (Alderman D.) hoped it would go forth to the public that their hands were tied up by a stringent law, which it was | for others to rectify. Alderman TwereEp moved that it lay on the table and be printed. Alderman Denman had no objection; but he sub- mitted whether that course would meet the case. In his judgment they ought to spread this out in all the were acts done at that Board over which they had no ese petty ne) ae a motion, by moving | that pul e Corporation TS. Alderman Twrep withdrew his motion. ah Alderman Warp said they were liable to imprison- | ment, or a penalty, if they did not pass it, and could they stand up there and contest the laws. Alderman Stvrtrevant understood that if they re- fuse to pass it, they were liable to a fine, or to go to prison. He, for one, was satisfied to undergo that enalty. as well] as all others to which he may be liable, before he would vote for it.

He thought they would be but a mere set of , aatomatons if they were to pass everything that comes before them without the exercise of their own jadgment ; they would be mere sticks to een this or tha! higher authorities dictate. He did not understand their position to be such, but rather than go to prison put, if the law allowed him jedgment, he might vote against it. He wished to vote legally, but as it seems they did not understand the law, he desired that the Corporation Counsel should give them his opinion on it, and that, in the meantime, the paper goes to a committee. ‘The Recorprr then put the question that it be re- ferred to the Committee on Annual Taxes, with in- structions to ascertain what penalty the inembers of the Board wererliable to for voting axuinst it. DOCTOR'S BILL FOR ATTENDING INQUESTS, On the bill of Dr. Lidell for $1,100, for professional | services at coroners’ inquests during the past year, being brought up, and its payment moved by Alder- man Wesley Smith, Alderman Sturtevant coped it. The Rrconper Mas ype: to the bill, and asked if it was a proper way of auditing bills that were held | back till the termination of term of office of the incumbent who presents them. Was it bet that, without a regular report upon it, they should he called upon to pass it? Ifsuch a rule was to apply, where no youchers were given, it seemed to him that Recorder's) idea was, that they should refer it back to the committee; and that it should, in the mean- time, be printed. This was no way to audit and pay bills; let it be audited; let it be printed; let it be referred to a committee, and sent to the Bourd again. He moved, therefore, that it be referred back to the committee, and printed for the use of the members of the Board. Alderman W. Sarra said it was both sworn to aud cettified, and what more did they want. The Recoxper did not say that it was-not sworn to and verified, but he complained that there was no sufficient report. It was intimated by the Clerk that the bill had | been sent to the printers, tut, from an oversight, it | had not been printed. After some few remarks from Alderman Denstay and others, the bill was ordered to lay on the table. SHERIPY ® BILL—THE LATE EXP!

Up to the sailing of the Conway the overland mai from iene (due at Jamaica on the 21st..) had nx arrived. We notice very little of interest in the papers. The produce market on the 29th was reported I ge nerally inactive.

The schooner Willlam Mason, 1s, master, was the only American vessel in port. The} cholera has carried desolation through the island, ducing many parishes in population and in the pensec with, and the report and accompanying reso- lutions were presented at once. The resolutions are as follows :— Resolved, That this Chamber deem the bill ‘‘to extend the warehouse system by establishing eyes bonded warehouses and for other purposes,” as originally report- ed by the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of the Finance Cemmit- tee, to the Senate of the United States, to be in some of | its features a great improvement upon the Sree sya tem, but that the most prominent of these features has been destroyed by an amendment assented to in the Senate, providing “nothing contained therein shall ex- tend the time for withdrawing goods for consumption be- yond one year.”’ Resolved, That the Chamber cannot refrain from ex- pressing its disapprobation ef that portion of the bill | which requires a payment to the government for a li- | cense, of not exceeding $1,000, nor less than $500, for a private bonded warehouse, or for a cellar to be used for warehouse purposes, it being an unnecessary burden, in. asmuch ag the bill contemplates that the private ware- houses will supplant the public ones, and because the Chamber, as well as the country at large, is convinced | J that the duty on foreign merchandise is (or ought to be’ saat ator all purposesSot revenue an its Selection. tie | of living.

The Chamber would also res ey and earnestly re- monstrate against that par; of the 4th section which pro- vides: ‘That where the duties shall have been, or be here- after, paid upon any goods, wares, or merchandise eu- tered for consumption, said duties shall not be refanded | on exportation,” &e., thus repealing the act passed dd March, 1845, allowing drawback upon foreign merchan- dise exported in original packages, to the British North American provinces adjoining the United States, the effect of which had been eminently beneficial to the trade and commerce of the country; therefore, Rexolyed, That as heretofore, so now, it is believed to be | the true policy of the country to encourage the exporta- tion of foreign merchandise, and this Chamber respect- fullly recommends the revival of the laws in force prior to 1846, authorising debenture on | ere ate ex- ported within three years from the date of im: ut excepting wines and liquors. It was moved and seconded that the report and resolutions be adopted and forwarded to Congress, which motion passed unanimously. Adjourned. munication published in the Morning Journal of the’ 26th, we extract the following, as emanating trom the| yoemen aforesaid :— It is not long since our parish was, by most disgraceful} mismanagement, brought considerably into debt, and an increased taxation of nearly £5,000 had to bo resorted to, in order to redeem the credit of the parish. We have yy got over the intolerable ‘burden of meeting thix vexatious and cruel taxation, increased as it was by addi tioral heavy imposts, to meet the ex of ‘‘cholera,”’ than we are told again that the parish is already in anew debt of nearly £1,500. To meet this, according to the as- certained principle Pell pes collections, it will require’ nearly £3,000 of additional taxes to be raised. Now, we all feel that, from death and immigration, our numbers are greatly reduced, and those of us who remain are in « most abject condition. Food has been scarce and dear during last year, and it wil! be worse this. From the ter- ror of the collecting constable we have been unable to at tain bad of those little family comforts so necessary to domestic use, our chNdren half naked and entirely ne lected, there is ne medical man within miles of us. We five no resident minister of any sort, and our roads are nearly impassible, while we have to pay a heavy toll-tax. Reduced,as we are, there are but two alternatives—either to petition the people of England to afford us the means of emigrating to Australia; or. if we are forced to remain here, we must remonstrate to effect against the present system of taxation. ‘The depth of our grief has not, per Laps, been considered, because we have remained sflent, but the pent up waters of our sorrows will break forth if our poxition is not attended to and relieved. As to fur ther taxes, we must state it will not be in our power to meet them—no, not even by compulsion, for we literally have nothing. The editor of the Journal writes an able article complaining of the English policy in abolishing sla- very in the West India colonies, and shows up Eng- lish inconsistency in that while endeavoring to put down the institution of slavery slave he saga and other produce is admitted into English ports for consumption, thus affording strength and encourage- ment to the slave trade, and the continuance of slave- ry in tropical countries. The Legislature resumed its sittings on the 24th. Petitions for relief were pouring in from various quar- ters. Among other things it is urged that inasmuch as the country is fast verging into a state of bank- Tuptcy, it would be a wise, just, and beneficial mea- sure to reduce the public expenditure to what can be | honestly afforded, and that a fixed amount be stated. | itis also urged that the shipping interests shall be | relieved from every possibie taxation, such as light five hundred dollars, to be sailed for on the 1th of Octo. | house dues, &c., fully endorsing Mr. Disraeli’s views! ne epen to yachts of all nations, provided of free trade. n yacht be entered for tle race.

At a general meeting of the New York Yacht Club, on the 4th inst., an invitation was given to all the world to come and contend for a prize in Octo- ber next. We give below, from the Cour/er, the | proceedings on this occasion; and we would espe- cially invite the attention of the English and Rus- sian press to this official publication. The prize offered may be considered a very small one; but in this regard, our club was guided by the prize offered by the Royal Yacht Club in 1851,which was £100. And so in relation to the decision not to | allow any time for difference of tonnage. Snch is | the English rule; and our own custom is abandoned to make it conform to their rule. { We cannot doubt but this invitation will he accept- | ed in the spirit of generous rivalry in which it is | ofiered; and we promise all who come—-to whatever nation they may belong—a frank and hospitable re- ception, and some Agree fast craft with which to contend, and to carry off the prize from which, will be sufficient honor to compen for the compa- ratively small value of the prize itselt.
