Seaman, ex-member of Congress, and formerly a dry goods merchant in Broadway, New York, took an active part. The cavses that led to the unpleasant affair are as follows:—The Legislature of the state, it appears, in- ‘8 plank road or turnpike, running from the shore to allow eaxy access to Richmond. The road ran through the property of Seaman. Although a great convenience to the people of the neighborhood, and much used, it did net pay expenses. It was at length determined to ebandon it asa plank road. At the last sonsion of the Legislature, the charter, by application of , was repealed, and the company took up the planks aud sold them. Mr. Seaman cousi-lered that the reverted to him rie the repeal of the castes” sad on the road was left ine bad condition, he closed It up and put ® notice to that effect. ‘His at ‘would, weem, did not think he had a right to do ro, and many of them were de- sirous of contesting it in the court. Among thore who were oppored to the cause of Mr. Sea- man was Mr. Edward Banker, « ship chandler, of No. 49 South street, New York. His grounds open upon the road in dispute, Mr. Seaman, as fam informed, Cor. bidden the former to go upon the road, under a penalty for treapase. The warning, however, was unheeded, and on Friday, the 17th inst. Mr. Banker, accompanied by his wile end several childreu, drove his carriage upon the read. At this time Mr. Seaman and his farm laborers ‘were cutting bay, and the carriage of Mr. Banker was seen proceeding slong the r: in detiance of the former.

The chapel was crowled at the open- ing of the meeting by an audience of distinguished men, among whom were @ few ladies. Among those present were the following :— Lorin Andrews, President Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio; John Trimble, Professor of languages in Kenyon College, Ohio; Miles J. Fletcher, late Professor English literature, Asbury University, Greencastle, Indiana; G. B. Docharty, Professor of mathematics, Free Academy, New York; Dr. Van Norman, Principal Rutgers Female Institute, New York; Kev. R. L. Stanton, late President Oakland College, Mississippi; Benjamin Pierce, Professor of Mathematics, Harvard University; Dr. Webster, Presi- dent of the New York Free Academy; Lieutenant M. F. Maury, Washington, D. C.; and Caleb Mills, State Super- intendent of Education, Indiana. ‘The meeting was called to order by the retiring Presi- dent of the Association, Professor Alexander Dallas Bache, LL.D., Superintendent of Coast Survey. Prayer was then offered up by Rev. Jocl Parker; after which the Secreta ry, Mr. R. L. Cook, of New Jersey, read the minutes o the last meeting of the Association, which was held in the Smithsonian Institute, at Washington. Professor Bacux then delivered the President's retiring address. He eaid:—Gentlemen of this Association: It is not usual for the President to deliver an ad dress upon retiring from the chair; but in armuch as this appears to be expected o I will speak to you for a few mi- only. I shall confine myself in my address to two points for your conaideration when ! am dono, and these points are:—lLat. There is a want of a great university, supplementary to the existing collegiate in- stitutions of the country. 2d. There is a groat want of harmony between the American school system of the country and the collegiate institutions. These were the only points made by President Bache, and theso points he dwelt upon for # few minutes only. Prot. Bacho cloned his remarks by introducing to the audience and inviting to the chair, Hon, “ryry Barvarp, of Connecticut, the President for the coming year. This gentleman, upon taking the chair, was greeted with loud applause. ' He said tho retiring president bud delivered un adress that made it unneves: sary for him to make any sort of a speech. Heannounc- ed that the address of the President was then open for discussion. Protessor Howerman then took the floor. He com- mented upon the points of the President, and said that the points presenied were important. Education should be democratic and for all classes of the community. Even the commercial community were benefitted much by the application of science. “He alluded to Lieut, Maury’s rescarches, and their benefit to the commercial world. Prof, Puce, of Cambridge, next spoke. He said, in his earlier days he would willingly bave sacrificed everything to embark in such public enterprise for education a3 had been propose, but it was imposible for him to do it. He was in favor of common education. He was opposed to refusing religious instruction in schools because of the fear of sectarianism. Asa father he would rather have his child subjected to any sectarianism than have him in a school where the existence of his Maker was not reeognized at all. (Applause.) Mr. Fow1, of Boston-—Mr. President, I take it that the reat point in this argument is the necesaity of this grent Mistitution of earning, which we hope to. see estublisiied, Now, in Nog sland the rule is that every eluld is entitled to a education, Every town has @ school; some of them are excellent institutions of learning, and others are miserable places of learning. Now this not equality by any means. I think the suggestion of the Freaident is a one—that there should be one grand institution of learning in the State, over all the rest, and this should be open to all. Upon motion, the debate upon this subject was here closed for the present. Miscellaneous business was next in order, when Dr. Provprir, Chairman of the Standing Committee, read a list of names of new members, about twenty-five in number. ‘The Ciaran of the Standing “Committee then report- ed that during the past year this committee liad under confideration the subjects of meral agency for the advaneement of education in the United States,”” and the propriety of establishing an * American Journal of Edu- tation and College Review;” but upon these subjects the committee had not yet taken any action. ‘The reading of vatious papers was then declared to be in order, but each gentleman called upon bad some t ‘xcuse for a postponement, aud no paper was consequent- read. Y An invitation was then read from Mr. MeMullen, Libra- rian of Eociety Library, inviting the members of ‘the a: sociation to visit the library while they wece in the city. ‘This invitation was accepted. The meeting then adjourned till 2 o'clock P. M. APTERNOON SESSION. This society assembled in tho aficrnoon at 2 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment. Jn the audience, during the afternoon, was the Hon. Miss Murray, the respected Maid of Honor to Queen Victoria, and now in our country for he purpose of learning our common school system. After some unimportant miscellaneous business, the President introduced to the audience Mr. H. P, Tarra, President of the University of Michi gan, who read a paper on ‘The Relations between Com- mon Yehools and Colleges.” He said the analogy be- common schools and colleges, he thought, he obvious te all. The one was the result and the offepring of the other. ‘Tho gentleman went futo an elaborate history of what schools were in the days of Greece and Rome. Then, school meant, in that lan- guage, Icisure or retirement from public business and the Shafrs cf every day life. ‘Then, the people were elucated through the ear and the eye—educated by public exhibi- ticns, monuments, by the stage and public games. Through legend and story, the Greeks, as well as the Komans, formed a strong national character. ‘The results of these studies gave to the world xpeculations in philosophy as immortal as thought fself. It gave to the world models in the fine arts in all that educstey mankiad, Blot out antiquity, and what would the world be? A blank, a de- tert. We might have the march of armies and the fall of dynasiies; but we would have nothing that would re- fine and elevate mankind. Tbe world must look to Greece asthe fatherland ot education and civilization. From this we learn that the lives of nations as well aa the lives of individvals, are important to the world. But I will come to enother era in education—opon the advent of Christianity therecame up a new and peculiar literature and philosophy. This word of God swept over the whole field of learning, and called all philosophy into plny. |The apenher traced tho latory of esueation down the Grecks and Remans to the university of mo- dom In universities we have an association of all that forms the common school or college. Colleges were formerly not institutions of learning at all, but simply sort of commons, where atu- dents congregated for lodging ‘and boarding. We come now to a third pericd in educational institu- tions, and thix isa union of the college and university. We date this in the era of the Reformation, in the four- teenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This was a union between philorophy and practical life. Now, in the mo- dern age, I will «peak of Germany, for Germany has lod the modern world in learning. Here we bave a freedo of thonght, and an organization of educational institu- tions such as never before existed. In the German gym- vasinm we have @ school where everything is found that is possible to dicipline the mind and educate it for the unlversity. In the gymnasium the student serves his apprenticeship to the art of study. But this art istearn- el by the act of studying, Now, when the student en- ters ihe university, he is prepared to read books, to in- vestigate subjects, to listen to and comprehend learned lectures. And when in the university there is no limit to the opportunities of the student—but once a student, Dosey, 0 be ahbenes, De a student allhia lie. A German university is simply an association of scholars for the advancement of letters. We have here all the freedom of a private education, and yet all the benofit of 31 sociation of cultivated minds. But a rudimental educa- tion ix necessary for the gymnasium; and hero comoa tho connection between the common school and the college. Prussia has well won the palm of being the pioneer and exemplar in pate ‘and popular education. Having said thus much of Europe, lec us come to our own country. ‘The demagcgue may well talk of our superiority. But is this sof Our science, our arts, our origin—we at once give them to Europe. We aro not original. Gur com. mon law is the common law of England; our forms of worship are European; our coll are simply a repro- duetion of English college:—they have the same degrees, the seme commencements, and the same terms. We are not original—we are on as Closely allied to our col- lege Is the academy, which is borrowed trom tho acaco- mies of Eton and Oxford. In popular education we sympathive with Germany; but in perfecting our education, our — means educating is Hoglish A copies closely from the lowest merits of the scholas- tic age. We must now lok to our common schools as the best means for preparing for the university, the cul. minating place of education. We have not squared our- relves with the highest forms of European institutions of learning. We parteke more of the scholastic than wo do of the modern age. The lecturer then proceeded to enumerate the different colleges ia the Union, and the merits of cach. In Michigan, ho said, where te came from, in all the legisietion of the State upon eduestion, Proesin wae always heli up ae a model. Be concluded with an exhorta all that waa possibte form our +ystem of edneation as the best meams of ad- sancing the true interests of our country. Tho dis- course of the gentleman occupied about three hours in its delivery, upon ite conclusion the meeting ale journed till evening. EVENING SESSION. The meeting assembled at 7 o'clock in the evening, the President, Mr. Barnard, in the chair, Pretiminary t@the regular exercises, Mr. read a very interesting paper upon “ Flucasion fa Upper Canada.” ‘The political nnion of the Candas, he said, did not bring with it a union of the school system of the two di- visions.

H. H, Ranoart answered for the State of New York, after which the meeting adjourned. Affairs in the Fifth Ward—Whoere are the Police t TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. I was glad to notice by yesterday’s Hgratp that my communication respecting the dreadful state of af- airs in the Fifth police district, had receivedsome atten- ion in the quarter to whieh it was directed; but as Capt. Carpenter in his letter ceems to take up the idea that nasmuch as some of the depredations complained of by me had not been reported at the station house, “they could not have occurred except in my own inagination, I take the present occasion to give their precise locality, and such information connected therewith, ay may leave So cep iemenniar whether the chargea made by me my former communication were atricuy true and in a with fair and impartial justice.” be- fore I proceed further, I must notice by Capt enter for the absence of the police from the neigh! ofthe Brazilian Consul’s residence, on the morulng of the day on which an wliempt was made to enter his house by two persons who were recognized by 8 veighbor as part of a gung of notorious pickpockets . ‘The captain states that tis men “were held in reserve in the station house, i. being the occasion of the celebri- tion of the emancipation of slavery in the British West Indies.!” it is true that the day was to be celebrated by the negro population, of whom a procession was tobe formes dui the furencon; but where was the necessi- ty for holding the police in reverve in the station house? it would appear to me to be an cecasion upon which every man should be at his post, cn ‘duty, par- ticularly if any div rder was to ‘be apprehended, it would most likely occur in the streets. ‘The attempt at burglary was at about 7 o'clock in the mornivg, at which time not a policeman of the Wifth ward could Le found in the vicinity; but after a searels, a mem- ber of the Third district was found in West Broadway, who accompanted his informer, and with his assistance arrested the pazties, one of whom, however, eseaped on bis way to the police station, as no policoman was near to render him assistance in holding his prisoner: ‘The attempt to enler the houses on Beach street, bor- ering on $t. John’s lane, was first discovered by ihe po- lice, for whieh I give them due credit. ‘the robbery in Franklin street comes next in order, which, by the bye, Captain Carpenter hints m occuried in my imagination, inasmuch as he « had not been ‘reported at the station house,” Uut in which supposition the captain was greatly mislaken, for I to-day ascertained from the paciics who Were robbed, (who réside at 119 West Broadway,) Uaat they gave no- tice ut the station houce of their ‘Ives, ax also Lo several officers on duty in their vicinity, together with such other information they had been able to procure as would (they ny believe) have led to the recovery ef their pro- erty, had due diligence been given to their case. As it js, nothing has teen done towards the recovery of their property, (in value between $200 and $209.) Of what ayall, then, is the report of depcedations at the police station? or even of the arrest of burglars, when no no- tice ix taken in the one case, und in the other, notorious chavacters are allowed to go clear, from the’ noglect of the proper notice summoning the witnesses to appear? as shown in the two instances alluded toby me. ‘So much for the robberies.’” Captain Carpenter, in alluding to the case of the party who was struck by a slung shot in Varick atreet, near St. John’s park, states “ that he was agreeably surprised to learn that the Loctor was in very good health, and out of town, and that the family were likewise much surp at reading the account in the Herarp,”’ &., &e. Now, Mr. Editor, this surprise of the family, seems surprising strange to me; for when 1 went there \o-day to make a similar inquiry to that instituted by Captain Carpenter, “the family”” at once corrected my mistake by telling me it was a patient and boarder of the doctor and not the doctor himself, who was struck by a slung shot, us stated by me; receiving a severe injury in his face and his nose (whe- badly fractured. Talso ascertained another fac. ther reported at the station house, [know not), viz. last night the lioctor’s residence was entered by a window front ing on Laight street, when the wearing apparel, porte- monnaie and its contents, (belonging toa fady who was asleep in the room: at the time), were stolon; moreover the Loctor assured me that he was very much nanoyed of late by the assembling of persons of doubtful character near and around his dwel:ing, and several times, of late, his Indy boarders and patients havo been. shocked by the appearance of there characters, both inthe street and in adjoining houses, in a state bordering on nudity, a very different class of persons from the “servant girls living ta the vicinity.” From what I have above stated, I think it must_be ad- mitted that there is at this time a dreadful state of aifairs in this pottion of the Fifth police district, requiring more etticient services from the police, whose efforts to aup- press the evils complained of will receive from none a more heariy co-operation than from your correspon- dent.

STARBING IN BROADWAY—THE AFFAIR ‘ERY. affair came to light APFATR WRAPPED IN MY: Yesterday morning a yory curious which yet may invol¥o the loss of a fellow creature's lito. The circumstance: of the case appear to be as fellows —Ata late hour on Monday night a man namod Henry L, Bliss was brought to the New York Hospital sulfe tug severely from a wound in the breast, inflicted wilh « dirk knife, ‘lhe beaver of the wounded man, who gave his name as 8. C. Gregory, stated that it was he wiv in- flicted the wounds, and left his card with the superintendent of the institution, Mr. Darrach, stating that he could be found at room 103 Crook's Hotel, in Chatham sircet. He then took his departure, witnou? saying that he would call again. Mr. Darrach thinking the matter one that should be attended to by the author- tier, méiion of the oceurrence to Uapiain Car- penter, of the Fifth ward police, but the mystery could not be solved even by this official. The wounded man wes asked several questions as to the occurrence, but he liued giving any sulisfactory answers, saying ‘that he did not wish to have Gregory arvested.’ The affair, he raid. occurred ina saloon somewhere in the neighbor- hood of the Broadway theatre, but noclue could be ob- jammed to the truth of (hiv statement by the police. ‘Things remained in this uncertain state until yesterday morning, when a carriage, containing Gregory, drove up to the Hospital, and Bliss waa taken away with his own free will. It has not yet been ascertained where the wounded man was taken; and although the whole matter seems to bave transpired under the very nose of the po- lice, atill they are ag entirely ignorant of ‘he particulars of the transaction as they possibly could be. The occurrence is certainly 8 mysterious one, and abonld be attended to by the proper authorities, ‘The fnjured man was, ao- cording to Dr. Dash’s account, dangerously wounded, although no immediate fears are entertained for Mis ultic mate recovery, On Gregory's second visit to the hosp tal he said that the wound was inflicted more by ac dent than design, of which fact the injured man ap: peared to be in a manner satisiled.
