The Police Bill, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Thave carefully read the police bill for this city, which dees passed the House of Assembly, and been sent to the ‘Semate for concurrence, and I have also read the comments of the editor in last Monday's Hxrato, pointing out the two mont important defects in the bill; and I unite with the editor in hoping that the blll will be killed in the Senate, satber than becomes law as it is now before them. Is differs but very little from the police law now in orce, but continues for life two of the most radical de- fects inthe system, which the unanimous voice of the press and the people demands shall be corrected, The ex dating evils are two :-— First—In the mode of their appointment, public opi. sion imperatively demands that the appointments of po- Meemen shall be entirely separated from the influence of ur Allermen, s6'as to cut down all possible collusion be- | ‘tween them in our municiy a + ‘that determination anes, sea cer sat | ened by the Assembly, gives the power of appointment @ board of commissioners, consisting of the Mayor, Re- eorder and City Judge, to go into effect in August next, fier te bill ban bese subssitted to and accepted by the | People a bill passed by the same House of rigor ‘Pires the power of immediate appointment, and for life, Zo another board of commissioners, consisting of the —— ae and Alderman of each ward, Riga. vice e present stem. Whs mey De the cave! of thie Nuloney? Jeet wat the editor of the Hianano shadowed portion of the men standing their fast ‘friends to secure them a ye-appeintment for life. The Mayor and Recorder are overwhelmed with the judicial business of their offices. The Aldermen will cry out that there are tions in the police which must be immediately supplied. They will propose their old frienés for re appointment—wiil eadorse them as men and true; and the Mayor and Reeorder not having time to investigate, will not be able to atand out long against the pressing claims of the Al- dermen, and we have the least worthy members of ef our present police force fastened upon the people for life. At present, we only have them for the unexpired term of four years. Before their time expires the re- form bill will’ be sooenied by the people, and then the Aléermen will have nofifing to do with ‘their appoint- ment. The second vice in the system which, by universal opin- ton, must be altered, is, that the police are not required to swear a uniform or distinguishing costume. The emblem | or device of the twinkling star it still kept iv for the Ife of the new appointees. It may well be calleda device. It is a device by which a policeman can disguise himself, dy buttoning over his star whenever he pleases. Mr. Shaw (a member, and a worthy one, too, of our ‘tity delegation), in his original Police bill, struck out the emblem er device, and inserted uniform instead. His Dill was referred to the city delegation as a special com- mittee, who struck out the uniform and all the parts ef his bill, and reduced it to the»abortion which the; adopted, and have sent to the Senate for concurrence. hope they will not eoncur, unless the House shall adopt amendments which | trust the Senate will make, viz, in the Board of Commissioners to appoict, strike out the | Alderman und insert City Judge, and strike out emblem or device, and insert either uniform or distinguishing | costume. And if the city delegation refuses to adopt | those amendments. Jet the bill be killed, the veas aud mays called, and let the people know what members of our eit tion have been the eause of Killing Mr. Shaw’a bill ana ying the public opinion of the eity. T have, through other channel, iven my views to the | blic as to the indispensable necessity of a distinguish- Ee contume to our police, to give it any moral power im Preventing crime—something more than a star, by whieh they may be known by day and by night, to the Gitizen and the str: '—something by which we can tell | the policeman from the rebber, by night, when we see a | man sauntering slowly along—something by which, when we are told by day that a policeman { taking off a pick- pocket to prison, we can tell which is the pickpocket and ‘which is the policeman, if we do not happen to be in front of both #0 that we can see the star of authority.

Lat me state what I saw with my own eyor, and heard with my own eara, last Sunday n week. I walked up the (Fifth avenue to the Crystal Palace, turned around and came down. At the corner of Thirty ninth street and Madison avenue, | saw a regular ight between six German waiters belonging to one of the numerous dancing and drinking houses in that neighborhood, and as many rowdies, which iasted half sn hour. up Anceked each other down until the sidewalk was covered with them. Then the rowdies fired once, twice. I saw ‘one horse pistol of two barrels, both of which they fired, and then broke ‘he stock over the Germans’ heads. 1 wanted to see the philovophy of the fight, and I had enough of i:, fora random shot might very easily have struck me or Any other person walaing in the Fifth or Fourth avenue. This Gght was carried on for half an hour, without the interforesce of thie law. One policeman fn oniform would have disperved the mob and setiled the fight in @ minute—the appearance of the law would have qufficed. As it war, a platoon of policemen in citizen's ress, would bave ‘been ineffectual.

DESCRIPTION OF COSTUMES, &e., de, Be, The celebration of Charles Fourier’s birthday took place at the North American pear Redbank, Mon- mouth county, New Jersey, on Plast. Having on @ previous occasion described the various details of the working of this association, and no material alteration baving taken place since that time, it is unnecessary to refer to them further than to announce that several very extensive building improvements are premeditated, which, when carried out, will add greatly to the comfort of the inhabitants and the beauty of the location. At present there are about’one hundred persons, who, hay- ing passed through the necessary probation. have been admitted as resident members of the association. Half of these are males, and the remainder females. Their numbers have decreased of late; but this is regarded by the officers of the institution as rather favorable to the society than otherwise, as they believe that the residence among them of discontented persons, who will not con- form to their rules and regulations, is calculated to in- jure the growth of the association. They, however, an- ticipate that when its objects become more generally known and better understood by mankind at large, yroso. ytes in erowds will tender application for. memberstip. The lady membera of the establishment, geserally, during the hours of labor, assume the Bloomer dress; but when that is ended they appear in the ordinary fe.nale garb. It may be well to mention in this eomection a rather singular case, communicated to ux by a sentlemsan connected with the establishment. A man, aprinter by profession, whose ebaracter for honesty and sobriety was unquestionable, and whore intellectual acquirements were of no mea stamp, applied for entrance into the body; but, on inquiry, it being ascertained that he was.a “rat,” or, popularly speaking, a man who worked below the @: tablished rates of charge, when the period for his election arrived the council blackballed him. From the same authority we learned, that in this happy valley no Diekeringe, disputes, or quarrels ever cecur, ind frony the time of the organization of the Phalanx, which rans over a period of ,nearly ten years, not # single iastance can be found in which any member has ,been expdled on account of criminal juct. Intoxicating drints are not allowed to be sold on the premises; but any manber, who feels so disposed, can purchase them fron the neighboring towns; yet, notwithstanding this factity of procuring “rosy wine,”” no case of drunkenuess hus ever arisen, Fourier’s Birthday being regarded in the light of hol day, the members of the Phalanx relaxed the severity of the labor in which they are generally engayed, aad as- sembled in the large dining hall of their building, at 2 o'clock, to partake of DINNER. Several gentlemen and ladies from Philadelphia and New York were present, and did ample justice to the repast, which, although plain, was admirably cooled and served. Cleanliness reigned supreme, The knives, forks and spoons were highly polished, the tablecloth ard nap- kins as white as snow, and without a spot ; and last, not least, the hanas of the fair attendants, with ther long, tapering fingers and filbert nails, would have excited the jealousy of many of our fashionable madames of the upper ten, We subjoin the bill of fare, which isa curi- aad NORTH AMERICAN PHALANX. ae Usiry oy MAN with Gop, with Narort, .¢ { AND WiTH May.

After the cloth had been withdrawn, a gentleman from Boston gave the following sentiment —‘‘To the season of Easter—tThe advent of the new life on earth—the advent of ‘universal unity among men.”? This toast was drank by the company, standing, with several rounds of applause. Mr. Seans, the Secretary of the Association, who acted as Chairman, then gave ‘the health and happiness of our friends from et which was drank standing. Mr. Asuton, of Philadelphia, responded as follows:—I am called upon to respond to a toast, which duty, itseems to me, devolves upon another; but'as I appreliend and know that my friend would do as much for me, I will come forward to the rescue, and say what I can for Philadel- pe and for him. Honor according to psefulness! I think sball claim honor here, for I intend to make myself particularly useful in instructing our friends now Present upon some of the usages of past timos, and that which is particularly applicable to dinner con- gregetions upon particular occasions. When 1 was & solcier and a politician, and a dead man was toasted. we rose to empty our glasses; but upon those occasions there was something in them more than water, and then there was some necessity that the toasts should be drank standing, because very frequently those who drank them were drunk standing. (Laughter) It would be in keep- ing, it seems to me—and this thought occurred to me while we weré performing the empty game of imitation— either to agree to the old rules, and re-establish the drink. ing system in full, or else be content with the utterance of a rentiment without nising, in the empty mockery of former times. (Applause.) hope, therefore, we I not waste valuable time by ristng from our chairs, making anoise and fuss, and then sitting down again, for we should enjoy ourselyes much more, and be far more agree- able and seciable, if we remain in our seats: and more particularly when a sentiment is exprersed which apper- tains to living truths; we ought not to rise upon Shows Leip net fd a br a, and Ac are the ‘assoc! al Y is @ question ver; juentl; Saked. I think {t can be perhaps as well Tenet to by stating what the association aud associatists are not go- ing todo, A sentiment prevails with many that we are connected in sentiment especially with hese persons who toil fer their living; that we have an especial regard and @re for ‘those particularly who are in what is generally recog (sized as humble positions, and that we are 1 in a war upon the side of labor against capital. I have taken several occasions to disa- buse our friends in that particular, and now take this opportunity of stating to them emphatically that the as- sociatists do not advocate property or the poor. They do not recognise the poor as particularly entitled to their Sonrceration, They recognise within, she xt ere ycaner | they are rich or poor, and it is our purpose to better the condition of humanity, ard to improve ourselves, and it is not with expeoial regard to the present pecuniaryc ondition of those to be benefitted, that we are striving. There are many in the strifes of civilized life who hail us as their especial benofactors, under the mistaken idea that we particularly are e with them. The ques- tion is sometimes asked, what are we going to do for the How are we going to relieve distresses in this par- ticular position ? How are we going to secure those who are already oppressed from excessive toil? We answer to this that we are utterly deprived by the existing state of this society ef the false position which they occupy. Let them help themselves, or embrace the tender mercies of those philanthropists who say they are able to give them relief onlyfor a day; but we will undertake to do better— we will prgyent successive generations of the same sort coming earth. Our doctrine is not to cure, #0 much a8 to prevent the occurrences of the same things in time to come. (Applause.) Associations for the most part are of those men and women who are able in any position in which thay may be placed to take eare of themselves. For the most part they have beon successful business men, thrifty merchants, who have sustained themselves everywhere in civilization, and lot them be placed where they will, and how they will, they are able to sustain themselves’ still. Such men possesa no solemn faces, no clongation of the phiz, but all appear to be cheerful, for they are as Lappy as,their neighbors, and would make themselves still more happy. ‘The pot are not to be advocated, and we do not want to know tha poor, and we hopein a short time that such a class will nov be known, (Applause.) We hope to find all rivh, We would make the rich «till more wealthy; but if we 10 add to the coffers of the rich forty fold, then their riches would not be adequate o the accomplishment of all that humacity is entitled to. Our mode of living is to increase—to look upwards. If we foupd one portion of the community defective in any particular, we would rajse it up; but at the anme time that which forms contrast, by being in an eminent position, we would still ise. Time is precious; we nll know ite value, and i hope that we will keep the ball rolling on, and that while | we are engaged in discussion here, as one rises he will give place to another. Those who have matters in charge J hope will take care of them: but I say, 1 trust | that we shall have no more jingling of glasses, whatever | te HYMB°AU TRAVAIL. = D’BUGENE DE FRESNR,, c Michaiti.)

The next toast, ‘Albert Brisbane and the Ameri. cen Socialists,” was responded to by a French member. In Phe, Se fifth toast,"‘‘The mission of the North American ,” the chairman said—Ten years ago, I believe, at my house, then living in the city of Albany, was organized the ‘Albany Branch ofthe North Ameri- can Fhalan ” The coincident was say accidental, and it may be considered significant of what will at some future time be revealed to us. We had been lool into the subject of social science, and we were imp: with the thorough disorder -of existing society. We sought not to find remedy for this, or that, or the other partie- ular form of evil. but to institute private rights, to look over the whole field of human interests and adequately institute for every human right, and to provide, in or- ganic ways, for every human want. This was our ob- ject. Uponthat, we took up the subject of association ‘as revealed by Fourier, that man who ascends higher than all other men—that man who has announced law in every sphere of human interest, in every form of im proyerent, from numeral sanity oF, to systems of globes and universes—who has anno and calculated the destinies, not merely of the human races, but of systems whe has announced law ip every form, and calculated the order of improvement, and who has announced va- tions brauches of improvement, and given them with scientific exactness. We took his organization of labor. and commenced a practical experiment here. My object was not so much to state anything respecting the asso- ciation as to introduce another topic. Our first effort was to satisfy ourselves that an associated offort was possible, and that we could associate all the interests of life; that we eould carry on ever: ios by ccuoesion) and that every human interest, {ns being lent to the incompetency of the individual, should be committed to the care of un institution whose life was perpetual, so that no individual should have his fortune staked upon his own personal power ; that we were all gifted different- ly—that some had the power of produetiveness, some of administration, some have this talent and some that. By this organization we bring out the best powers and talents of the community, and by expressing our life in an or- ganic form, these very interests will be cared for, and every individual will be provided for, so that his destiny will not be resting merely in his own hands. There is another reason why we met and took ground for our- selves. The sentiment was expressing itself in a variety of ways. There were benevolent societies, a church im- proyement society, avd other organizations, having this systematic end in view, but the sentiment was fragment- ary, and it expressed itself in such costly ways. Our courts, our armies, our navy, our government altogether, are all’ communist ‘institutions. I should like to get the amount that it costs New York State to administer justice in the courts of law. This tax, which is spent in actual waste and litigation, is enough to endow people with their actual’ rights. .My friend near me, informs me that in the county of Venango, lawyers’ fees amount to $68,000. The race of paupers is being fostered, and in Europe this. system is organic, for men are born paupers, and come to it asa rofession, and we are fast following in their footsteps. i New York, counsels’ shanges, poceventens of the pub- lic expenses of the city in charity, were enormous, and an hundred fold, perhapsa thousand,more than they ought te be in organized society. Our purpose was to institute positive rights, and to take the care of individual inter- bets and destinies out of the Keeping of ineompotent bands, and place them in the charge of living corpora: tions.’ We came, therefore, here, and our first effort ‘was necessarily to see whether we could associate in all our affairs of life our capital and our labor, and this done, to see whether we could be productive of a labor system ourselves, against the competition that would be around us. Our first five years were spent in establishing an in- stitution, and in settling this question of self-support, which has occupied our attention up to this time. One question now claims attention among us, which is that of education. (Applause.) We have nized our educa- ticnal series, and we have the organic form, but we lack numbers to fill it up and give it vitality; but 1 believe that we have, within the last few months, established an organization that will be vital—that will have a force of ite own, independent of individuals. We propose, then, that the chi of the p! ion not be entrust- ed to carnal training by the incompetent hand, and to the accidental care of parents, very few of whom are ualified. We have the nursery organled, and we have is cet Dhptheativn tn ege peovida for’ he « sornene tion of mentors. We have, then, a yup under most able supervision, which gives me assurance that corporation is vital, and then we have another group of domestic teachers, and we have a further group for the complete developement of the whole being, svt werely-as to the gymnasium, but the science of life applied to the daily affairs of Ji fe, alence.ot Klean jem i will provide quite SoMuately “in theory at least, and, as far av our numbers go, practically, for the edueation of our children. Upon this question I should like to hear from our friend, Mr. Harrison, who has t atten. tion to the subject of education, and whom I beg now to introduce to you. Mr. i, of Philadelphia, then rose, and said :— It'is now a long time since I have given any direct or de- finite attention to the subject of education, further than my own aspirations fer its eventual developement to the wants of humanity. I have been connected with educa- tion within civilization, and have made pretty extensive observaticns, and seen all its excellencies and discovered some of its wants; but never until I read Fourier did I understand what the term education meant. Integral education is a thought almost too big for the com- prehension of a man like myself, having “investigated education merely civil matter. It isa thought too great for me to illustrate. The education contained in that sentiment, requires the developement of the physical, the intellectual, the moral and the spiritual being—the yhys‘oal first, and under the laws of physiology ‘those That control the animal economy should be first investi- gated; but not being a physiologist by education, 1 of course can say nothing further than that it should be the foundation of the educational developements in the higher spheres. Without a proper Lon kicaa ee organization, a human being can be nothing, either inteljectually, moral- ly or spiritually; but applied sciontificalfy’ to the develope- ment of a human being. then there ivan organic strue- ture that will permit the intellest to be developed, and there is an organic structure that will render a’ sus- ceptibility of the highest moral endowment; but it must all. come from a proper physical develope- ment of the individual. Fourier’s ‘system of ed- ueation contemplates such a deyelopement—the physical man first of all, the others afterwards, In the first place, he surrounds the parent with the causes of developement in the infant, and he surrounds the infant with the causes of its physical developement, in perfect harmony with the laws of animal economy and with the laws of physiology. Why are individuals, ‘as we find them, ro improperly developed intellectually ¢ I once had a conversation with a gentleman upon that subject—which was rather of theological character— who illustrated an idea of this sort—that no perfectibility was susceptible in humanity, from the fact that in some were born the highest intellectual endowments, while the -endowments of others approached idiocy.’ I re- plied to his first remak, that the intellect developed—or, as he expressed it, whose comprehensjon reached to the bounds of creation—that if he were to analyse the intelleetual character of that individual. he would find that in some points of his intellect he yet verging upon idiocy, notwithstanding his intellee- tual faculties bad that high organization. Suppose that this individual be surrounded by. the intelligence that hilorophy points out, and that the surroundings should Revelope his weaker faculties, and not the stronger—take the weaker organs of the brain and apply a stimulant to the weakest and to the next weakest each, until they reached the power of the highest eventuality ind thoy are peetly susceptible of such culture in those individuals— is then a great intellectual circle—that individual eapacity comprehends every subject equally within the 800] human sttainment. There is harmony in that individval—there is perfectability in that individual. Take the Dies ese) Sa Be Ca ee IP RECON Dorms 08 crue af repre- farm. Does not such an individ sent in bis lower faculties a state of positive idiocy? And by recent developements idiots can be educa- ted. “Take these incividuals, and apply the philo- sophie principle of stimulating the er facultios until they are elevated to the highest Paige you have then a small intellectual circle. Is it rfect then than a larger one? The inference can easily be drawn. There is perfectability in that individual. The moral and spirituel man are susceptible of the same culture— e same ent. I give this as an illustration of every specimen of humanity. By the law of aa, there is no limityto human attainments—no limit to de- velopement; for, by applyin fay the inciple of inte- gral education, each generation fl aig its successor stronger powers than itself oe accumulating power for unlimited good. If this associative carried out, education—inte, education—— be car- ried out. We shall have no idiotsa—there will be no imbe- cility in any faculty of the mind, We shall have no fa- natics. (Apriaue) We shall have no bigoted poli. ticians. e shall have no miserable administration of quack medicines. We shall have nothing of that whieh is throwing @ blight upon humanity as it now is. But to retarn to the idea of inte, ination. Your ae- tion has snrrounded the individaal with all the motives, so far as my own comprehension is concerned, to the de velopement of the individual to the highest degree of sus- ceptibility that human organism is capable of being car- ried. In‘the nursery is provided all the means, in the first plice, of physical comfort, which educate and deve- lope the affections, and makes a child happy; and making the child happy, you can develope, unde: appiness, sny faculty you please; you can develope the faculty in any direction, elevate the moral sentiments, and inspire spiritual exaltation The child ia surrounded with all the means of knowledge by which to obtain the material wonts of wan. His knowledge of the instruments of ag. riculture and of the, mechanic arts is cultivated; the principles involyed in the fine arta, in painting, in seulp tore, and in rousic, are taught, The faculties that compre- hend all these principles are developed simultaneously, and the ebild is made agricuituriat, @ mechani artist, aphiloropher, « physician, and a divine, at the same tims. In wy association with edueation prior to reading Fourier upon that subject, I iseovered a difficulty that existed in developing the mind hg the isolated household—the mother whore misdirected affection for that child diseas- ed its physical organism—for that child must be gratified »them harmony in that individual with the rest of at indiv' reat of his race, for it is educated in selfishness, bigatry, preludice, many things that are objectionable. get a teacher, either of a public or private scl who is placed thus, and with pupils thus prepared to educate to barmonious reauits? And bree ‘h the elementary and preparatory branches tructions. how can he make men or wo- undeveloped beings? Members of Congress, of the Be- pate, your Presidents, your clergy, your lawyers, your dectors, what are they but eloped men—mén of pat stu; intellecte some of them, but upon ara ‘dicts? ‘This is‘ strong expression, but it is some true; for wu) some tw you will scarcely find a man who is not an idiot, or @ close approximation to it. Why? Because the weaker faculties have been left des- titute of culture, idle and trate, while the stronger faculties of the mind have stimulated to disease. I could illustrate this by some prominent cases whieh have reeently passed to the grave, but charity forbids. I might advert to the names of the living, whose brilliant deeds dazzled the world, and if you will look at some traits in their characters you will find idiocy, or its near relative imbecility. This, then, is the character of the education of the civilized. If I have given a fair exhibi- tion of the princlples of the two systems, and the one I advocate is correct, it ought to be ropists in the wor! e—it in a system that reaches ip its passed time into eternity, and there carries the individual, fully developed, into a omnprehensive enjoy- mane of spiritual elevation greater than I fear at present exists. Mr. ‘Aswrox, Jr., proposed the following toast :—“ The of the Phalanx—Their education, upon which depends the success of this noble undertaking ’” Cuaray, in answer to a question, stated that in the Phalanx no distinction of sex was ized. Mr. Frencu said—I look about me upon anniversary with regret, at the absence of many of our friends from abroad, who have heretofore cheered us with their pre- sence and their speeches. It is a fact universally known, that we cannot number among our merits, public apeaking. At this juncture, the steam engine in the adjoit apartment commenced ite work; the orator was ob! ‘to pausg for a few moments, but continued his shortly afterwards, amid a shower of witticisms, such as “the steam is on now,” and “ its an exereise of woman's rights.” There seems, said, he, but ene central object upon which the whole world is united; and in all posi- tione, in all organizations, in all grades, all claim to have ore central and great object in view, viz:—the greatest [Ni of the world, the greatest good of mankind. Now, e great doctrine of social reform, as intimated by my friend in the early part of this afternoon, came to us some eleven or twelve years ago, and was first translated and first diffused in ‘this country, through a period of [oer commercial depression,—general depression and kruptey. At this period there was formed in the city of New York a branch of our sci which was looked to frm all parts of country as the nucleus sround which to gather the great effort for the demonstration of social science: and from this supposed permanent nucleus was established the society in the city of Albany termed the American branch of the New American Phalanx. Now, both the parent organization and the subsequent branch organisations, and all other orga ions, both great and small, and no matter how long or short the period of their ‘existence, have their mission. The old society had ite mission, and ended. We came into operation, and supposed that-we were engrafting ourselves upon an in- riitation full of life and vitality and power to carry out the enterprise undertaken; but soon we discovered, after we hag gone too far to recede, and when it seemed im- possible to think of looking baek, that the Albany branch, with a few accessions from others,| waa,the main nucleus and the main reliance of the practical improvement at that particular time. Other improvements sprang up, thirty or forty in number, throughout, the ‘country, which fulfilled their missions, and subsided and went down. ‘The idea had taken such possession of the public mind, that it seemed to believe t all the world do was to combine and associate, and the day of the millennium was near at hand. Through poverty, adver- | sity and trial, we went through the first five years. We had commenced, no doubt, with divers views, but suf- ficient unanimity. The speaker went on to trace the in- stitution down to the present time, and csncluded as fol- lows :—The question seems to me to be one which should be fully considered by our friends, for we should not come here to celebrate this anniversary unless we felt that we had something ory Lag pees which we propose to make to-1 a pplause. The Guahotan said that a een ort woman had sent him the following resolution, to be submitted to the company, which he had nodoubt would meet with their acquiescence and approval :— .

The Cusisuay Shen ancounced that the ball would take place at eight o’elock, and the company dispersed. THE FANCY-DRESS BALL. Shortly before the time announced for the ball, the company assembled in the ante-room, exhibiting every description of costume that human ingenuity could de- vise. There were queens and clowns, kings and negress- es, Italian Counts and German Barons, shepherdessesand sailors, Quakers and Methodist parsons,'s large sprinkling Of fairies, Highlanders and diminntive nail , French UIUIEL aL and gentlemen a im their ordinary habiliments. One character, however, baffles all description. He introduced himself as ‘‘ Mr. White,” being attired in white shoes, long white coat, touching his heels, white vest. white beard and whiskers, and white wig, and contributed, by his amusing antics, in no small degree, to the amusement of the evening. t a little after eight, Leg apg formed and pro- ceeded to the ball room, snd the fun commenced in earnest. An admirable band was in attendance, and the exquisite style of dancing would have delighted Fanny Elssler. The following pieces were executed :— ORDER OF DANCING. Grand March, Helbricht.

At this juncture. the master of ‘the ceremonies an- nounced that sup} was ready, and the heterogeneous assemblage descended to the basement, where a splendid cold collation was laid. They then returned to the ball room, and the amusements of the evening were resumed. A member recited from a poem, and the Frenchman sung a French rong. ‘The dancing then commenced as follows : Sicilian Circle. . D. Quadrille, Basket.

Supreme Court—In Chambers, DECISION. By Hon. Judge Mitchell. Apart. 8.—Riley 18. Brown.—The Sheriff of Kings county, under an attachment directed to him in this action, levied on property which would sell, at sheriff's sale, for $2,500, but afterwards the greater part of it was con- sumed by accidental fire, so that no more than $500 worth of what he levied on remained. The plaintiff, un- der the supposition and on the representation that part of the property levied on was insured in Oneida county, obtained a subsequent attachment to the Sheriff of that county to reach the moneys due by the insurance com- ny. The debt due to the plaintiff is $450, exclusive of interest and costs.
