JOHN P. HALE ON THE NEUTRALITY LAWS—REPORT UPON THE STATS OF ITALY—DANGER OF PIUS THE NINTH—HI8 PROBABLE FATB—MK. MARCY AND Mi. WIECHBL AGAIN. The reguler meeting of the members of the above s0- ciety was held last evening at the Stuyvesant Institute, About eighteen members were present, and at hal/-past eight o’clock Mr. McMullen was called to the chair. Colonel Forbes acted as Secretary, and read the misutes of the last meeting which were approved. ‘The Suckatary then informed the meeting that he bad reeeived from the Hon. Jobn P. Hale a highly interesting communication respecting the Neutrality laws of the United Stater, which, with permission, he would resd:— THE NEUTRALITY Laws. New Youn, Saturday, Jan. 7, 1864, - To Coronst H. Fornrs:— Sin— You ask my opinion as to one or two polats under the Neutrality laws of the United States. One fthem is, “Whetber there is snything im those laws forbidding sry citiven or citizens of the United States, or apy person residing here not a citizen of the United States, from leaving the United Sates with the intention of joining bimself or themselves to eny nation at war with another pation with which the United States are at 4 The various statutes paved at differen: preservation of the all repealed by the heved contains substantially all foree on the sub; enactments now in o ct, and cOnsequently, to ascertain what is torbide en, rete be hed to tat ntatate. By rection 1 of the United States, withia the territory or jurisdiction thereof, is forbidden’ to “accept or exerci+e » ocmmiasion to serve a foreign prince, state, lopy, district or pecpie, ig war, by land or by sea, gainst any prinos, state, colony, district or people with whom the United States are at 7? By section 2 it is enasted “That, if any shall within the territory or jurisdiction @f the United States enlist or enter himieif, or hire or retain another person to enlist or enter himself, or to go beyond the limits or juris. diction of the United Staves with intent to be enlisted or entered in thof service of any foreign prince, state colony, istrict, or people, as s soldier, or as a marine or seaman on board of any vessel of ar, letter of marque or leer, every person #0 offen shall bs deemed ty,” ‘bei’ To thle tection there is a provision te Taver ot che subjects or citizens of any foreign State, colony, or district or people who shal) transieatly be withia the United States.”? These two sections contain all the restrictions which there are in the laws of the United States touching your question; and it wili be gerceived that while they, within the territory and jurisdiction of the United States, forbid apy citizen from accepting and exercising a foreign commision against any people with whcm the Uaited States are at; peace, and also forbid any person within the territory or jurisdiction of the Uaited States from en- listing or entering himself or hiring or retaining another yoo to enter himself, or to go beyond the limits of the Jnited States with intent to be enlistea or entered in the service of any foreign prince, state, colosy, dis- trict or people a¥ @ soloier or as a marine or seaman, it dces not forbid any Peston from going hiavelt abroad and leaving the ited States with tae ex: pre:a and avowed intent of enlisting in any service he may eelect. And itis believed that euch has been the uriform understanding of the law, and the practice under it, Instances have been aen; where citizens of the United States bave left the country to enter into foreign service when the country against which they enlisted themselves was at peace with the United States; and no doubt, to far as 1 am informed, was ever raised as'to the legstity of such a proceeding. Tt was done in the case of the Greek revolution, and more recently in the case of the revolution in Texas. Indeed, the Texan navy, daring their recent war with Mexico, was commanded bya citizen of the United States ard an officer of the United States navy, who left the service of the United States for the purpose of entering that of Texse. It isonly acosptiog and ex g & foreign commission while in the te: y or jurisdiction of the United States, or in like circam- siances enlisting or entering himself, or hiring another perron to enlist or enter himself,or hiriog bim to go beyond the limite of the United States to be enlistes or ent that is forbidden; avd therefere I answer your question in the negative—that there is nothing in the laws of United States forbidding any citizen or citizens of the United States, or any person residing here cot a citizen of the United States, fom leaving the United States with the intention of joining himself or themselves to any na- tion 89 war with another nation with which this govern- ment is at peace. You ask me again: “If sush person should thus leave the United States with such an intent, may he goarmed?”’ Tanawer, I know of mo law to prevent nim trom going armed, if he elects 80 to go. Agnin you ast: “Ia it ualawfal for any one to assist a person thus about to leave the country, with arms or yooney?”” To this Teas only say, if the thing to be done re law/ul to the priveis it cannot be uvlawfal for ano- ‘ber to arsiet ope to do « lawful act. You ask furtber, if srms may be sent by sea to one of the belligerent parties with which this government are at pence! The act cf 20th April, 1818, forbids the arming or fitting of any ayip or veasel’ within the United Sates “with iptent that sach ship or vessel shall be employed in the service of any foreign prince or state, or of an: colony, district or people, to cruise or committ owt. ties sgeinat the subjects, citizens, or property of any foreign prince or state. or of any colony, district or peo- ple, with whom the United 3 ates are at peace,” or under like circumstances issuing or delivering @ commission for avy such ship or vessel with such intent, &c. ‘There are in the subsequent provisions of the act seve- yal of alike character, but all Repetronn ri that the ship or versel is to be engaged in committing hostilities against the government with which this government is at peace, and I see nothiag in the law forbidding the of arms or munitions of war to either of the belligerents. But although there is nothing in the law send- ipg arms or munitions of war to one of the \gerents when the United States are at peace with the other party, et there is a very significant 40 to the second seo- mn of the act March 10, 1838, entitled “An act supplementary an act entitled an act in addition to the act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States, and to repeal the asts therein mentioned. Approved April, 1518.” This act was passed about the time of the troubles in Canada, and forbade, under penal- ‘les, the sending of a ship or vessel or any arms or munl tions of war which might be provided or prepared for any military expedition or enterpise against the territory or dominions of any —— palace or State, or of re ny, district or people centerminous with the United States, and with whom they are at peace, This act was limited in its operation totwe years, and the proviso to the second section was as follows, viz :— 4 that nothing in this act contained shall be con - ‘tend to or interfere with any tra arms or 101 f war, conducted in vessels by ith any ort or place whatsoever, or with amy might have been lawfully carried on beforo the pas- sage of this act, under th ‘and provisions of u it hereby amended, I have thus given you, in brief, what the lew {s on your questions to me, £0 fer as the statutes of the United Statee sre concerned. It has been done, as you know, in 6 Pr some baste; etill I feel confident the poaltions will’ be found to be correct. Ihave not examined the subject with reference to any treaty obligations, or the require ite of the law of nations, but solely with refersnce to the prohibitione of the of the United States In con- ol ym, I will add that it would ill become the United States to make ita penal offence for an individual to Jeave bis own country with the avowed purpote to “join the o wed aid the brave,” when our republic is fo much indebted to the citizens of other countries, who left their homes and countries to do battle for them in tho hour of her greateet need Reepectfally yours, JOHN P, HALE. It was moved that the letter be inserted upon the roinutes, and the thankr of the society returred to Mr. Hale iy the Secretary. Carried by acclamation. . Col. Forvss said that he believed that some members of the German Commission wee present, and he would like to rtain if the democrats of that nationality were jous to unite with the general body for the farther I ution of the cause, Mr Kxowrt snic that they were certainly willing to co operate with the general rociety, but at prevent they were in clore union with the democratic body in Lendon, the members would wish to hold a general meeting, so 28 to arrange for # plan of action with the clubs here. Col Fomnse said this was satisfactory. w Yor, Monday, Jan. 9 184 To Cor. Fornme—Deax Sie: Loma certainly have noob jecticn to anewer the qnestion made in connection with usme at your last weetiog, in which the information was wked respecting the ‘eelings of the Romans toward tke Pope and his government ; though on the present oc- caion | am able to write bata few lines. Should I fad time subsequently to convey at a greater length the im rersions which | received through my contact with the mens, the substance of my ony would be to thow thet ] regard Roman Catholicism as dead in Rome ; vine- tenths of the people, including the female portion of the population, looking onthe Pope avd his cardinals with contempt as epiritual {mposters, and with the utmost ha- ‘tred and horror as temporal oppressors. From what I heard and saw I feel convinced, and am willing to place on record my conviction, that withia twenty-four bours after the = ee of the on rrison, the Pope’s government will have fallen, Sen life, together with those of his cardinals aad oo eillers, will have been sacrificed, unless they oan seve benny a by flight or concealment, which will be very diMecalt. Every avenue of escepe is noted and watched. The Ps peed feeling of the Romans has bean Fo embittered by manifold exeevtions, tmprisonmenta, trescheries sud oppressions of thelr rnlérs, that I regret to say I found popular leaders inexorably deaf to asy councils of moderation and mercy; deliberating merely whether the Holy Father should be hi from the cross of St. ter’s, or over the so called tomb of St. Peter wit! *t violent stipulating otly that be be unfrocked as 8 flee priest, and then tried, li aries 1, for vio- latswg bis contract with and murdering his people. Tom, dear str, CHARLES FRED. HENNENGSEN, Colonel Forums remarked that the letter jast read am- ply demonstrated the feelings with which the Italian peo- pe C "i particularly the Roman portion of them, rgard- ed the Pope. The CHAIRMAN related some anecdotes of his own expe rience when in Rome, to show that the people hated and derided the priests. One day when the monks were sig: ing st a-faneral, he overheard s workman enay to his fel- low laborer—‘‘Hear the monks, how they sing.” The other the he were a heretic, he say masses for | paid.” The Salam dee sold that at the Inst mooting there rome censure cart upon Mr. Bown, of theembasay at Constaninople, Since the: had been oslled upon by Mr, Holmes, who had been attached to the legation at that place, who informed him that Mr. Brown had been ‘epjurtly dealt with by the mole. He, the Secretary, replied that the scclety did not wish to cast blame upon apy person: but that he must aay it nppeaced as if Korata’s case had been taken up very warmly at first, and {Lat towards the end there had been a great failing off of cficial zeal. The Sxcaerary then informed the meeting that he had reorived a communisationfrom Mr. Henry A. Homes late of ths United States embassy in Constantinople, im which he complained that Mr. Brown had not been fairly dealt by. The dooumont being reed, it apprared that Mr. lomes aaserted that important facta had been passed over in the sccounts furmished to the public—one of which was, they when Copt. Ingraham inquired what ccurse to pursue should the Au in Captain refare to liberate Koszta, Mr. Brown, takiug upon his own shoul- Cors all the reeyouaitility, replied: ‘Then take him out” Another fact is, thatthe letters of Mr Brown to Mr. Offley, containing what was supposed to be the agreement between Mr. Brown and the Austrinn Charge, was not the Japguage or the U.S legation, but only anextract of the letier of the Austrian Charge, Mr. Da Bruk. And sgain, it wae denied tbat Mr. Brown desirei to embark Koezta by force, Mr. Homes asserting that it was the Freneh consul, Mr. Pichou, who proposed, by foros, to embark Korsta, whereas Mr. Brown refused to permit that Tbe communication bsing read, tho Seere' pro. sed that rince it was both the duty and the of he wclety to be perfectly impartiai, and to prevent blame being incurred when it waa not merited, a cominittee be ‘&| pointed to examine the docrments ani to report. He aio foformet the meeting that = pampblet in Italian, pri ted at Smyrna, hed been sent hers, in which all the ; cuments were ssid to exiat. He had not yet examioed it, Dut that would facilitate the work of the committee. After the letter was read, upon motion of Col Fornns, the Chair appointed Messrs, Hardcastle, Storr, Forbes, Mo \npany, and Gauciere, as a committee to examine all the papers connected with the Kovsta: care, particularly & pemphiet lately received from Srayrna’ and report to the roeirty. 4 report from the committee on rationalities, (appoiat- ¢d at the last meeting,) was then reid.

LECTURE WPON OINA BY TAK KHY. MK. SYLE. The Rev Mr. Sy of the China mission, delivered a leoture in the large chapel of the University, lat evaoiny, He commenced by aliuding to the fact thet information as to the Chinese hid just conmenosd, But a few years sinoe we knew nothing of China—uow, throagh the pross we kave well conceived and truthful articies as wo the actual state of things in China. The country, ha eri was equal in extent of te ritory to the United States, ia richness of soil equal to then, aid criture and popula tion far beyond them. H» went, he onii, to Clima in 1845, and was located at Shanghai when thst port was first opened to the world. He therefore kaew what he affirmed. The government was a despotic one: the central power at Pekin, who sent bis governors or satraps to rule over the eighteen governors. The local laws sre resom- mended by the governors to the Emperor, and be ssads them back. All the commissions come from the Km peror directly, and though the mandarins spring fvom the people, as soon as they attain that reuk they are cu eff entirely from the people, The mandarics are not silowec to rule im the district in which they were born, and no person cam hold an office in bis owa pro: vince, The mandarins are alao persooally reaponsiblo“or a1] crizses committed by the people whom they rule. They, therefore, hush up there crimes, The msnderins a #0 are never left witbout spies; and if there is au imporial oun mirstover capt out from Pekin, be is followed by a spy, with whom he generally makes an arrangsmens. Tae wilitia system is fa 1 of abuses: there is no inspection 0 the men, and they are generally unfit to bs sent to tho field. The recorce of the English war will show this. Hs bad seen from a fort three hundred shots fired at afloat ing target, and none of them hi: it. The guas wero fixed to that they could only be fired poiut blank. Tao iaw preceedings are all from written pisedings and they still adhere to the question by torture—so that we may may that the Chinere msndaring not only rale the people wit! # rod of irom, but witha red hot rod of irom. Suen is the @fficulty in obtaining justice that the Caiuese frequently get up juries and trials of civil causes in the tea shops, and they abide by these decisions. A carpenter employed by the mission, haviog hads difficulty with one of bis fol. lows,be was arrested. The lecturer requested of the juizs that the care should be settled as acon as possible. The car- penter was told that, he had relied on the influence of ® fcreigner, be sh recieve fifty blows. He died in consequence. The missionaries were xe reral times treated with s-verity by the mod, and it was very dificult to obtain apything like justice, and the foreign consuls we! frequently obliged to use what seemed very barsh mea. sures to obtain reparation. The lecturer here made @ strong plea for an Kpixcopal missionsry physicien in China. The Chinese medical practiceis anicie ntly elabo- rated, and some of the practitioners do all sorts of trio! with ‘their patients, and are considered a¢ magicians. The Tee no knowledge of surgery, bot are successful in treatment of local fevers. The public institutions are cingular. In Sbangbat there is what is oslied a ‘Hall of Universal Benevolence,” where they furaish decent burial to the poor. They’ have also s foundling hospital, and the horrible custom cf infanticide is atti! prevalent, They have free schools, and places where children are clothed free. All these institutions are close!s connected with idolatry. The Chinese, however, manage these institutions so that they can be io ao emergency without socting as they often do in more enlightened commuuities a3 a premium for uperism. Still, when the Yellow river overflows ita Bari ‘a, many thousands of the surplus population die of starvation, The only poor law in China is the olaim which the poorer member of the family bason the richer, and this lways cheerfally aduiitted. The charitable institutions are all suppo:ted by subscriptions. city oipsbapghal 1 the subsoriptions have lately bee headed by ar widow lady. This benevolence dead, and subscrip'ions are raised i honor of their ghosts. The chief religious sest in Cains —the Confucius sect—profers principles exactly like ttoiciam. This is the State religion. But the people must have somethiag elsejand they havaja ayatem full of superstitions. Thisis called Powiem. At about the time of the Christian era Buddhirm was introduced into China, and itis now the religion of the greater part of the people. Buddhism resembles in its forfas Romaniem. It came from Hindostan. Both these lest named sects bave many superstitionsn—a man may not undertake a journey orly on certain days—he must be buried in cer tain kinds of roil. They burn everythingjwhich the de- ceased has used in lite, They all believe in the doctrine of metempsychosis. They often purchase animals in the belief that the epirit of some relative has passed into its bocy. Tay pay great honors to the dead, aud the Ouris tian mitsionatica have great difficulty in persuading them that they stould not worship the dead bodisa of their parents. They have idols everywhere—at home, ia the streets, in i} market place, in the theatre, at the bridal—every where idclstry is to be found. This isthe true cause of the moral degradatta of the peo; Not- withstanding this the people are highly reficed and culti va'ed in tocir manpers; they pay great deference to age; 80 great is this reverence that the grand parents frequent ly have more to ray about the disposal of the chi drem than the parents themeelver. Females ara seoluded,tund their employmenia are of the timplest kind. The women are betrothed in childhood and generally educated ia the family of their future husbands, There is no dignity, no real happiness in the marriage stace. Tho Chinese men are partlcnlar in their mercantile afairs, and the ru’e is that if a merchant dots not sett! 1 his accounts on the Inst ny of the year, he has no more credit, The lau- gusge is of two kinés—written and spoken, The writtea language is very difficult, and it called the oderin diniect. The spoken lapgusge may easily be gained; it The school aystem is When they take the differs in the various provinces nd fs arranged in d jegree they are eligible for office, Sometimes there degrees ae wold, and the leaders of the present ra- yolution are men who were indignant at these salos, They formed a cecret rociety to overturn the prosent dynasty and establish the new (Christian) religion.

It re to be seen what action the Christian world will take in view of these circumsiances Woman's Rights. LECTURE BY MRS. ERNESTINE L. ROSE. Mrs, Eexestiva L. Rose lectured on Monday evening on the righis, education, position, and legal disabilities of women, before a small sudierce in the Tabernacle. She spoke in substance as follows:—Tho minds of the people must be purifled before a link can be added to the great chain of moral existence. In Kurope human rights have not yet been acknowledged. The Autocrat of Russia claims rule by the grace of God; Napoleon rales by the grace of the Pope, and Pio Nono rules by the grace of Freech bayenets, But here we deem it our right, nay, our duty, to demand in practice what has been proclaim ed in theory The Declaration of Independence recognizes no sex—mind recognizes no sex—life and death recoguize no sex. Like man, woman is subject to all the vicisi- tudes of life—has to suffer death and all the penalties of crime, Yet she is taxed without being reproseated, and this only because of the difference of sexes. It suflices to sentials of life the sexes aro the woman different from «aan? How, then, can man vet in judgment upom and le gislate for s being so entirely different? That great eternal truth upon whioh the Declaration of Inds pendence is based, bas already pronounced the rights of man and womanalike, Human nature is such that man never Coes aught without haviog an objectin view. In the education of a boy, parents perceive noble objeoia to ‘be attained, aud they direct their efforts to make aii ouorable aud useful member of society, What is tl wot to be attained fm the education of woman’ Do pe. ever attempt to make ber a usefal and honorable Oh, uo, This is out of ail keeping with the duties of a lady, Is there no object to be attain ed by bey Ob yes, there is ong: That is, to get married, To this ¢flect is woman educated. Among the poor sue is ‘anght to mend stockings; among the rich she is taaghs to speak bad French, to drees ber doil and then dress her- , and to lock with contempt on those of her own sex who wish for fatependence. These are the two clasres—tue one to be a dradge in the kitchen, the other lo grace the varlor, A woman ought certainly to be a good house Keeper; she caught to te accomplished in all that tends to elevate her micd. But these are not eaough to cali out her evergies—to elevate, refine, and eanobdle her bring. We demacd enlargement of ber education, and this will produce an enlargement of her sphere. The aim of wotan’s existence is nobler than that of being the piay- thing of man, or the drudge of anvther. faen, when this isthe case, there will be no need to talk about wo- man’s sphere, for woman will find her own sphere as water does its level.

Subjsct— "The firat Abolittem Society of New York, founded by the Framers of the Feders! Constitution, and supported by ‘the Pillars of the Church.’’ The following is a sketch of the Lesture:—Zhe first meting for the purpose of form- ing the Society for Promoting the Maaumission of Slaves, and protesting such of them as havo been or may be Ib- erated, was held ct the houve of John Simmons, innkeep- er, which stood at the corner of Wall ond Nassau streets, where the Ezpress sflice now stands. The principles of the Society were clear and distinct in their recognition et the nataral and equatright of the slaves to civil and te ligious liberty. Following the constitution of the Sosiety are the names of two ltundred and eighty-two member many of them in autographs. The drat of these is tl of Jobn Jay, who was elected Presivent of the Scciety, and continued to hold the office until his appointmeat as Chief Justice, in 1/89, induced him to resign it, when Alexender Hamilton, whose autograph is alsa igners, was eleoted in his placs. After pasaing over tne views of Wr. Jay, his grancfather, the lecturer went onto tay that the peeition occupied by Hamilton im American Bistory. especially the part he bore ia framing our national constitution and securing ths union of the States—the vigor of his understanding and the entire ab- sence in his character of aught that could be constiued as fanaticism—add interest to his adoption of the views, and his promotion of the objects, of the first abolitioaiate of New York. We find Hamilton, on the 8th February, 1786, one of a committee to prosure an aet of the legisla- ture to prevent the exportation of any slave from the Stete, and hia name is soon after, found attached tos memorial to the State Legislature. The lecturer here enumerated the men with whom inilton was aso ‘ated. He said that the army, tn the mercentile classes, and the more humble trades the bench, the bay andthe church. were all reresented in the Manumie m Society. aftey mentioning the names of those who ad been distinguished as aboiitionis's, he proceeded te say—Slavery bas for us a higher, deepor interest, both for the prew id future, as disposing of what, to many, bas been » stumbling ‘block in the way of im efforts for American freedom, by disclosing the views conduct, upom this very question of abolition, of the reat men who, io the midst of their labor; in the lanumission Sosiety of New York, assisted in form- ing the federal constitution, stamped upon its (eatures the impress of their clear intellects and ai patriotiam, and, by their eloquence, weourad i adoption against an active and determined opposition, Mr. Jay then entered upon a rather leagthened review of the opinions of the great abolitionists of former days. Be alluded to the means they used to scoomplish their onda -the ansociates and associations they formed--their contim- ued agitstions—anditheir nu nerous pelitions to the isistore. Ho concluded as follows:— Tho atatoamen of Revolution demanded of Congress, in the last words of Frapklio, ‘that you will step to the very verge of the power vested in you for « iscouraging every apeci+a of traf- hic i the persons of our fellow mea.”’ And that is the demand which we should reiterate, uxtil, roverberating in tones of thunder from the Atlantis to the Pacific, from the homes of wen who live by their own houest toil, aad not upon the hard cearnings extorted by violence from the poor, toe ignoract and the helpless, it shall penetrate the hella of the Capitol, and compel the Congress that bas so long legislated at the bidding of » southora aristo- cracy tostay their fostering of oppression, and reeeg- nite the voice of a jast people, reaflirming and enforcing the Iaws of God. Let Congress step to ths verge of ite power for the abolition of this great evil, and the American slave trade, with its cargoes ot despair Geightened beneath eur national banner, «ili be declared the piracy that indesd it ie; andelarery, rapidly grown to a monstruous height, and a shadow over our land, hike the gourd of Jonah, will worm at its reot and give token that it will presently wither and die. The District of Columbia, the capital our reputlic, bearing the great nam: of Washington, will become a truer remembrancer of his fame aa the chaies fall from the manacled limbs, and each slave stand: afreeman. At the accomplishment of this great s which has already been petitioned for by the inhabi of the District, and by hundreds of thousands througheat the Union, what ir arted American, who the honor of his native land, would not heartily rejoloo? The slave marts which lately pollated soil that should be for- ever ncred to freedom, have been swept away; and if com- pensation be a necessary condition to the emancipation of the few slaves that remain in the District, to what nobl better purpose could the surplus revenues that now our rational coffers and hold forth inducements to profil- gate speculation—to what nobler, better purpose could they be appropriated than in conferring the priceless boon of liberty upon those who, beneath the shadow of our Capitol and under the exclusive authority of our Com- grees, are now retained by our national Legislature im ignorance and slavery?
