Drans in wl-nce, ¢ 8, Btateemen of the Revolution—Men of honesty of purpose, well worthy of emuiation by the statesmen of ‘the present cay. To this Mr, James W. Barker responded, as fol lows:— Mr Cuammay—It is alike an instructive aod refresh- ing task to review the character and asts of our revolu tionary statesmen. From the coatempiaticn, the cold- @st and most unpatriotic heart may gather warmth aod inspiration. America is proutot them Their history isher history From its rarliest in/ant struggles to its present #id¢.and widening power, the compress of their majestic character has beea stamped upon hor in: tions. It is a peculiar cbarasteristic of our American statesmen that they have each I-ft an individual im- press tpn she institutions of their country, which its enlarged resources aod expanding territory canavt efflace. Ower countries can boast of men pos- eessing as commanding talents, exalted = ge- nius, but with the age in wai they effects of thelr administration have passed away, Other wen bave arisen and other ideas have prevailed. ‘Phe lives, however, of our statesmen bave been a cor - recration to one grand idea, That idaa found its birth in the bitter aad relentless persecutions which charac- terized the reign of tre bigote! Papist James l{ It sprung, an all great and elutary reforms spring, from “great eufiering. The Muyflower bore hither a few spirits who dared to put it in practice And this was the ot these smerican mottutions and principles which have made us what we are, and which it 1s oar duty to rotect and defend. From the landiag oa Plymouth to the present day we can point to an unbrokea lime of statesmen, ail blending their power and conse- crating their energies to the advencement of their com mon country. And, sr, one trait to which you allated I wish to partioulanze, that te, their honesty of purpose. ‘There is, sir, a deep siguiticance in this languxge, upon which we might spegrp ponder; it was this whicd. above everything else, gave character - immortality to the statesmen of the revolution. ithout ft, the statesman narrows into the demagogue ; before st, commanding tal-nts, tre lustre of military re- nown, fade into insignificance, Washington receiving the sword of Cornwallis, at Yorktown, was an snimating ‘acle ; but Washington, in his farewell address, re ee his honors, isa sablimer a more g orioas apec- tacle, There 1s a tenden-y among onr statesmen of the present dey to depart from tbe principles pursued by our fathers § The istroduction of foreign elements, and the immense immigration of those of adverse principles, bave turned the current of pe rioti«m into that of per sonal emolurent It 1 the duty of each citizen to exert bis indivicun! power to direct it.

Alderman Backhouse presided, baving on his right the guest of the evening, Mr. Rhodes. After the eating was over, several lotters were read from various gentlemen, expressing their re- gret for their inability to be present, The Hon. Joun H.

ABREST OF OVER FORTY DISREPUTASLE WOMEN— The Fire Department Committee of the Board of Al SCENE AT THE MAYOR'S OPFICH--THEIR COMME MENT TO BLACKWELL'S ISLAND. In accordance with an order issued by the Mayor on Tues. day last, between forty and fifty disreputable women, who were found walking in Breadway, Mercer, Elm, Crosby, and other streets, after nightfall, were arrested. The exe- cution of this order was intrusted to Captains Kissner and Turnbull, who were instruted to arrest all who might be found in the Eighth and Fourteenth wards. These worthy officials detatled a number of the policemen un- der their command to assist them, and before ten o'clock the station houses of both wards were crowded with women. Sone of these refused to go with the officers until told that they would be compelled if they offered any resistance, while others exhibited the most perfect indiffereuce, and accompanied them without a word of complaint. A mother begged that her daughter might be spared the additional diagrace of being brought before ‘the public, and promised, if they would release her, t> start for the country by the first train of cars. Her en treaties, however, wero in vain; no exception could be made in her case, and the daughter was accordingly committed with the reut. ‘The news of the arrest of these spread like wildfire omong the others, and in an hour after Broadway th the other streets were almost completely deserted them. lt is particularly deserving of motloe that K4 men were tazen imto custody, although several were found im the com pany of these women. The order of the Mayor, it appears, cid not extend to them, and #0 were allowed to pass unnoticed.

Yesterday morning, they were all taken to the Mayor's office, and as they marched in procession through the streets, they were followed by crowds of several hundred peo Upon their arrival at the City Hall, they pre- rented a motley appearance, sad asthe sight was tome- what unusual, toe officials thronged to the Mayor’s of- fice to learn the cause of the excitement.

Justice Orborne took their names, and made out ordera for their committal to the Peniten- tiary on Blackwell's Island.
