HARBOR ENCROACH MENTS. Grend Banquet to Governor Seymour at the St. Nicholas, SPEECHES OF GOVERNOR SEYMOUR, PRO- FE3S50R BACHE, AND OTHERS, ae, %&, ee . BXAMINATION OF THE HARBOR ENCROACHMENTS BY GOVERNOR SEYMOUR, V'ROFRSSOR BACHE, AND OTHERS. An effective was taken yesterday by some of our mest promipent citizens sad public officers towards put ting a stop to the excroachments which have, during the last few years, been made upon our harbor by spocula- tors. Governor Seymour, Commodere Boe: mas, of the Brooklyn Navy Yard; Captain Hudson, of the Navy; Major Fraser, of the United States Corps of Engineers; Prof. Mo- riam and Prof. Bache, Superinten jents of the United States Coast Survey; Gov. Price, «{ New Jorsey; acoompanied by @ large mumber o! other gentlemen, devoted three or four hours to an examination of thes» particular parts of pur harbor in which the encroachments complained of have Deon made. The day was clear, and, with the exception of s cold, frosty wind, was in every way favorable fer the purpoee. It was 12 o'clock before the company, consist- ing of about one hundred and fifty gentlemen, left the pier near the Barge Office, on board the steamboat Staten Islander. Among those present we noticed the follow- ing members elect of our State I egislature:—George De Witt Clinton, Ed. P. Barrow, Fred. A. Conklin, Joseph W Savage, Chas. C Leigh, W. B Aitken, Theodore A. ‘Ward, Peter H. Grabam, and Tnomas W. Clarke; Thomas R. Whitmey and Mr. James Brooks, Senators elect of our State Legislature; Peter Cooper, Walter K. Jones, Presi- Gent of the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Co.; Comptroller Flagg, Jas. Depeyster Ogden, W. W. Story, Andrew C. Burgess, Thomas Tileston. Mayor Lambert, of Brooklyn; Heman J. Redfield, and John C. Wright, Comptroller of the State. As the most extensive encroachiueats are making oa the East river, this was tho princips| part of the harbor towhich the attention of the company was directed On the New York side, extending from Fourteenth to Thirty-fourth street, it is net only proposed to fill in a Jarge number of acres, but the future water line has been marked out, and a considerable portion of the work is finished. When ii is completed it will direst the current with still greater force than it now has against the opposite bank of the river, impeding ite naviga- tom very seriously. This part of the river is already con- tracted enough by there encroachments; but if they are allowed to go on unsheeked, the commercial interests of onr city must be m: ally affected in the future. This is the opinion of scientific men, svijit is based, not upom selence alone, but u xperieace. From the New York wide the company were taken to the Broxklyn Navy Yard, where similar extensions have been a‘tempted and are actually under way. A cranthas beon obtained by Mr. Samuel B. Ruggler, to fi.l in a space extending over six acres directly in front of the Navy Yard, and in sash» position that it will interfere with the launching of ves- pels. An injuncticn, we understand, has been obtained to prevent Sik Tenthver onarcanhen wate ta tote quarter, and it is altogether provable, from the de’ermination which has been evinced, that the grant will be revoked. ‘As the boat passed the receiving ship North Carolina, Beventeen guns were fired in honor of Govsrnor Seymour, and the band played ‘Hatl Columbia.” The company on board the steamboat responded with three hearty cheers. Alter proceeding up the North river for a short distance, the boat returned to her pier anc landed her passengers, who separat to meet again at the St. Nicholas in the evening, wh banquet was given to Governor Seymour. THE BANQUET AT THE ST. NICHOLAS. ‘A splendid banquet was given last night at the St. Nichelas, to Governor Seymour, by the committee ap- pointed by the public meeting lield at the Merchants’ Ex- change on Friday lact. All who were on the excursion rouad the harbor in the early part of the day, were pre. sent, besides a few gentlemen to whom iavitations were extended. The viands were oj the choicest aud most va ried description, and the whole arrangement of the ban quet might have pleased the taste and excited the admi- carrying trace, snd building up here ® great and - cus city, | have always rogarded < fe Ha: son through the Highlands, where their rocky heights, for a long distances, press upon its channel on either side, and where the analogies fn most interesting natural features of our country. In these, and in other r: ‘ cannot failto maiutaim the commer- fure gentlemen, to do everything in bay of New York; and the da; distant when {t would share ® large portion of the com- merce which is at prestnt epjoyed alone by Now York. The Pxesmpest read the next toast: Success to the measures now being pureued for the pro of the Western world. To this Mr. W. H. Maxwect responded eubstantially as ollows:— Ihnow not what motive the honored President should have ia calling upon me, because | don’t deal in flowers of rhetoric. I presume, howsver, it is from an incident that occurred to-< ome remarks which | mate on board the boat, in relation to the encroasumeats upon our harbor. But, gentiemsa, it would be supsrerogation in me to say much in regard to the city of New York, of which I am @ uative, to eay of it that it is the pride of every American, and is admired by every foreigner who has teen it. Gevtiemen here know how my feelings ba- came connected with this subject of the harbor, and the ration of the most fastidious French gourmand. When the cloth was removed and the wine and other sparkling beverages began to circulate more freely, the President, ‘Mr, Tieton, said he had just been informed (iat General Wool was in the house, and that he would appoist Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Danham to conduct him to the room. Those gentlemen retired, aod soon after returned with the gallant General, who was received on his entrance with three enthusiastic cheers, for which Le bowed his actnowlsiyments to the company. The Presideut then rose snd spoke as follo ¥s:— Gentlemen and Friexds—I appear before you thia even ing act exactly in my own charactor, bat to represent Mir. George Griswold, who had agreed and arranged to oceopy this chair. Indisposition has prevented his being with us this evening; but we have cihor very distin- guished gentiemen about us, I bave on my right General ‘ool and Governor Seymour, (applavee|) and on my left ths honored Governor of @ sirter Slate. Perhaps it would be improper fer mo to ray that they have come thia day on a vieit of mersy, but, in fact, think I might be sliowed that expressiob. Although they have not come to feed the poor or clothe the nake:, they have coms, if possible, to lead their aid to save our mobile harbor anc our bay from speculation. They have coms to join with us in entering our solemn protest against these con tinnal encroachments—eacroachmests which must, Bocuer or Inter, destroy New York as the commar- cial emporium of the Wostern world. But i: is net my business, nor did I imiend to wake a speech—that is not my oecypation; Iam & workiogmao—a plain, sim ple-minded merchant of New York. (Applauce.) I'traat thet I may do «ome little towards con inning and sup porting that commerce which is known in every sea, aud which beara the start and stripes to the removest eornars of theearth. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I will not detain bet I will, with your permissioa give you ‘Oar d guest’’—I might aay “guests,” for ov my right is the Governor cf our own dear and beloved State, and on my left is the Governor of our sive State. This was responded to with three hearty cheers for Governor Seymour, who replied as follows: — ber. Cuarkuas AnD GenTIEMEN—In common with the Governor of New Jersey and some of tis State officers of New York, I deemed it my duty to accept the invitation of your committee to visit your eity for the purpose of examining the present condition of New York Harbor. Apprehensions have been expreseed by some of your emi nent commersial men, and by persons of great ac 4 instructiow, that the continued extension of wharves avi | og wae uot only calculated to impair ite conveniences for the purpose of commerce, but that there was also resron to fear that its natural adventages might be dis- turbed, and it wight ultimately be rendered i asible tothe largest claes of veesels. The Harbor of York, with tributary rivers, and ite accessary bays, and its con nection with Long Island Souni throvgh the channel of Hell Gate, constitute a nicely adjusted arrangement for carrying off the volames of water which are poured into isfrom the land, while the action of tides and currents | Preserves for them a dep and ample chaapel to the Ocean. 1 sm not competent to say how far the encroachments complained of are caleulated to effect grest and disastrous alterations in your harbor, and in its approaches from the ccear. Upon this poiat, | great weight ia to be attached to the opimons of expe. rienced mem, who, for many years, Lave been accastomed to navigate its waters—who, from this port, are extend- American commeree to every quarter of the world, and, by their skill and intelligence, are rendering ours the first commercial ration of the earth. Gentiem of high scientific attaiaments, and wno have deen e: in the surveys of our coast, have expressed the same spprebensions in respec: to the injurioas conse- quences which will follow from any impor-ant interfer ence with the current of streaais, or with the flow of the tides. I bave vo hesitation in be that the weight of testimony makes it the duty of the Legislature te appoimt s commission of capade and disinterested per sons to examine the whole subject, and to lay the result of their investigation before the public. This coarse will et in the future, to private interests, aod will ine the limite which should restrain ea. eroschments upon the privileges which belong. in commoa, to all who are portend in the commerce of the country. ‘The history of the world admonishes us that the seats of ommercial prosperity hare frequentiy beem changed and fometimes from causes similar to tuese which are now supposed to threaten ycur own great city.

Om the Ext river ti hore from Whitehall up to Dover street formed a bay, closely resemblicg in sbape a erescent. The prominence of Cor- laer’s hook made a rush of water areund that which ae rapidly through this bey, giving it such grest jepth thet vessels might run close to shore aud land their cargoss without either pier or dock. Such was the condition of this part of the East river in the days of my randisther. The whole of that part of the river has, jowever, sinee been filled in, including the whole crescent aod three hundred feet in advance of it, and a gentleman told me 230 acres had been filled in on thet side of the city. The encroachment on the cther side I wellremember, It wasa mere strand, without house or habitation of any description. Then it was surmounted by a high hill, I need not say what an im- mense filling up there must have been ia that district. Again, there bas been another encroachment at Williams borg, and at the Wallabout, with all the enclosures | which have been thrown out at the mavy , forming altogether rome thousand acres from the river.’ Now, ad regar’s the encroacaments of the Battery, we must not permit them to go cp forever—from t has alread: been done, there we have proof that when it is completed the current will be changed. At the conclusion of Mr, Maxwell's remarks the Preai- dent read the following toast:— The freedom of commerce requires the freedom of the | oon. This was responded to in felicitous manner by Mr. Ocpr. ‘The next toast—‘The Legislature of the City of New York,”’—was responded to by Mr, Erastus Brooxs, The PrisipEnt, after a few eomplimentary remarks to Professor Bache, gave the following toast:— Alexander Dallas Bache, the descendant of Franklin, worthy to survey the ccast of that country which his sncester aided to make free and prosperour. To this Professor Bactx responded to tha following | effect :-— Mr. Pxesineyt—The good schoolmaster by whom I was educated, taught me figures, but they were not figures of | speech. (Laughter) I wish I could do better, I heard to night one who called himself a plain New York mer chant msheaspeesh which | envied, if | could envy a man 6p intellectual display, and I said to myoelf, if plain New York merchants make speeches like his, what will the orators do; and thi the capitol and the forum. It is a treat such as I have reidem or never had before. I am not, how ever, sfraid of work, bat Iam sirsid of epeabing If anything could mako me speak it would bs that I | might say something of this horber ef yours. But, gen tiemen, let me werk it out inetead of speaking it out. Bad as you may think my speech,wheu it comes to work ing, if there is heart to be pur into it, I will go at it, and heart and hand skal! do that work i’ my head can guide me Professor Bache then concluded by speaking of the great damage the present Battery enlargement would cause to the commercial interests of New York. The nest sentiment was :— The Merchants of New York. The Present said that some of the merchants presen ought to respond to this. Immediately there were 1: ud calls for Cliaton, Clinton The Hon. {Groxck Dx Wnt Cunton then arose, and after the applause which greeted him had subsided, he spoke as follows :— Mr. Presipent 4Np GENTLEMEN :—I appreciate the honor of being called upon to respond to the toast just given. But, sir I camnot claim the honorable distinction of merchant, except in aspiration, being at present. only a merchaat’s clerk. 1 a1 not, siz,prepared to ad¢reas you on an occasion like the prerent, and upon » sudject so vast ené important as that whioh has claimed your attention today.

Sho well deserves the name she beari—the Empire Oity of the Empire State—the first in commeros, the first im the arta and cciences, and the first in weelth, taleat and power among her ei ter cities on the Western continent. She stands forth to the world ons of the proades: results cf the American Union; and although she is justly distioguished for her commercial enterprise, yet not £0 than she is distinguished for her devotion to the Union. Whenever clouds have gathered around the Union, or internal dangers threatened her existence, New York has preved true to the lest—the first im the fieldand the last to leave it. In closing, sir, I give you the senti- ment— The city of New York--Her devotion to the American = Utution is only equalled by her love for the American pion. Addresses were made by Messrs. Dunbam, Thomas B. Stidman and others; after which the meeting adjourned, Lecture upon Japan, by the Rev, Dr. Vinton. A Jecture upon the subject of Japan was celivered on Tuesday night at the Brooklyn Atheneum, by the Rey, Dr. Vinton. He commenced by stating that Japan, a formerly understood, meant a kind of varaish, or boot blacking, ittle was known of the eountry, owing to the exclasiveness cf its laws and institutions. After describ nature would teach us that | ite course would be broken by cataracts and rocky bar- | riers, amd the wonderful capacity and convenient natural tained. It will aford me plea- y power to pro- mote s thorough investigation of the dangers which are suppored to threaten! your commercial advantages, aud the growth and prosperity of this great and populous city. When Governor Seymour concluded his remarks, which were received with repeated applause throughout, Mr. Price, Governor elect of New Jersey, respon‘ed to a com- Plimentary toast, in the absence of the present Governor of that State, He said that New Jersey was also inter~ ¢sted in the protection of the harbor of New York from the encroachments which were making upon it by specu: lators.

In 1846 the United States sent two vessels to protect wha’ers acd merchantmen, After reven days the reply came that no trade would be allowed with any mation except Holland.

This terprise, if successful, would carry the Gospel of Christ to that numerous people, who are now in the darkness of Pagan idolatry. It would add the one link to the chain which is alone needed to girdle the globe and bind te- gether the whole people of the earth. Freedom of Speech~Another Meeting. A meeting was held last evening at Manhattan Hall in behalf of freedom of speech. There was present a large audiercce of men, women, and children. At 7 o'clock in the evening the speechifying was commenced, and called forth, daring the evening, much applause. Professor SwEETMAN was the first speaker. He took the common topic of Popery for his subject. He was very violent, as usual, against Catholicism and Bishop Hughes. The speaker dwelt at some length upon the arrest of the Rev. Mr. Parsons, as against law and justice and the first rights of American citizenship. He concluded with an exhortation to the audience to stand by their country and the American flag, and defy Popery and all ite powers, The Rev, Mr. Parsons was then introduced. He appeared ainid much applause, He said—Ladies and gentlemen, I do not like the title of ‘Reverend’’—it does not belong to me. It is the prerogative of God alone; it does not belong to man. I reverence it not in man. Ladies and gentlemen, you murt not expect a polished address from me. I am a humble Iaboring man, and work for my liv- ing every day. [ have been for twenty years engaged in the circulation of the Bible truths. We have dome here to war against Popery a not Catholic men. We war against the system—the corrupt aystem—of the Roman Church. Now, we want to upite the American citizens into grand body, the object of which shall be tho destruct of Popery and the protection of their country, We want the youth trained up for this war, When we see Lord Cross John issuing his mandates to his flock to arm themselves against the pro- vistons of the constitation, then it is time for the Ameri- cans to arm in their ows defence. (Great applause.) And do you know the power of Bishop Hughes! | He controls half the effices in this country. You do not know it, but 140. They tried to destroy our public schools.

I had some Canger in the house where I have eaten for the last fifteen years. Iwas promised something there by the Papista and Jesuits who are there; but those Jesuits are watched also, and 1 haya changed my place of taking dinners. (Applause.) I wage eternal war against the Roman Church. Iadies and gent.emen,'as I have before stated, I am not a systematic speaker. I ama poor man, and never went to school but fcr two weeks. Forty five years ago I saw the inside of a school house for two weeks, acd have no: been there since. True, lean read, acd write, and think; but I have gained it all myrelf. (Applause ) And I haye a sound mind, and God has given me s spirit that fears nothing on the earth. (Great applause.) What is the Catholic religion? Why, it is all yenel. You can obtain nothing of it exeept you buy it. They vend you to purgatory, aad they take you out again—tbat is if you have money eaough to pay for it, not without. Lacies and gentlemen, I thank you for the attention you hav ven to theae few insoherent re- mars. Mr. Parsons sat down much applaude: Mr. Jamz Inw asthe next speaker. His discoune was also ajainst Popery, following ia the samo strain as those who preceded him. At the conclusion of bis remarka the meeting ad- journed. Police Intelligence.
