@irthday Celebration of Thomas Paine. ONS BUNDRAD AND NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY— ‘SPEBOERS OF MRS. ERNESTINE L. ROSE AND OTRERS —BALL, SUPPER, WTO. ‘The one hundred ead sineteenth anniversary of Thomas Paine was celebrated on Monday night, at the City As- sembly Rooms, in Broadway. Notwithstanding the in- clemency of the weather, there were present a large ni ber of both sexes, comprising the youth and beauty of the ciy. ‘The dancing was commenced at eight o'clock precisely, and polkas and quadrilies were the order of the evening till tweive o'clock, when the company were marched into the supper room. Here a company of about five hundred sat down to well spread tables, the musts of the band in the balcony drowming the clatter of knives and forks, while the ‘inner man’’ was being satisfied. fa the company was a venerable lady named Mrs. Ri_ der, with whom Thomas Paine boarded in the last year of bis lide. The old lady was the object of special inte- rest and attention during the evening. Mr. Woiiam F. Ausxy presided, having upon his right Mrs. Ervcetive L. Rose.” Eating’ having. bec intel W. ©. Allen s+id—Ladies and gentlemen, I am called upon to preeide over your deliberations to-night, and I do so with pleasure. Yom Paine, whose memory we have mot here to celebrate to-night, aronsed the Spirit of the Revolution, that spirit which’ Washington led to battie, Sanders have been industriously circulated inat him, and ge that we have here to-night itveeg refutal of the slanders, the venerable Mrs. Ride: the lady with whom the illustrious Paioe boarded in the last year of Lisil'e. She says that Peine was no: au in- veterate drinker bu a quict, peaceful man, whose ways were waya.of temperance and peace. This lazy has beea sought out to endorse these slandcrs of Paine, but true to the homesty of her nature, she refutes the slander. I wid cow give the first regular toast. ‘The memory of Thomas Paine. Received with avpiause and music by the band, The second regu'ar toast: — Mrs, Ernestine L. Rose—Thongh a rose to her many ad mirers, yet she has proved a thorn to her slanderers in Bangor ‘This toast was received with thunders of applause, in the midst of which Mrs. Roer aroce, and wueo silence was odtaines, :poke as follows: Mir. President and friends—I thank you for the kind seatiments expressed towards me, but you must pardon me if [ remonstrate with you about it, To be sudjected to the inquisitorial fire of priestly intolerance might, indeed, be expected, but I think it hardly fair in you t» ‘toast me alive, und that in my presence. Neverthelesr, aliow me to assure you that Iam very happy to mest you once more (n this interesting occaston, tor Taore iss thsee-fol< benefi in celebrating the natal day of the ‘“‘@utbor-bero of ths Reyolu'ion,’? Thomas Paine. The gratifics io that springs from the perform- ance of a duty prompted by justiceand gratitude towards one who bas proxed himself, by » hfe-tong cevotion to the cause of fieedom, truly to deaerve the title of the “Friend of Man.’ 23. Im upboloing bis noble deeds, generous motives, self. aacrificing spirit ard great moral courage, in eadea- voring to free the hnman mind not only from kingly bat sy ly deapotism—for it is easier fur to fsc2 the lion in den than to attack supersition aad priesteratt fa their stroug-hold—we not only pertorm a du'y tohim, bat cae ac incentive and encouragement to enabdle us feac- ly to perform our part in the great drama of life, for the ‘times that tried men’s souls” are uot yet over, ast im the conflict for human rights the sterling worth of wo- man’s soul is often tried too. ‘8d. To make Thomas Paine better known —for though he lives in his acts, in the signal services he renderel tuis sountry in the time of need, and is knowa by his *Con- mou Sénse,"’ the “ Rights of Man,’’ aud the “Age of Rea son." yet the macs cf the people are utterly ignorant about him, or what is worse still, know him only as his ewemiea painted him. Were it not for that they could eadtly receive the simple statement of fxcts,"and feara to know and apprecinte him as he was, for truta is easy to when the mind is free from error; bu* thei mints have been ao filled with falsehood, caused by his priestly enemies, and distributed from the pulpits aad the presi— hench truth cannot find access. As you a4tuded to the attack made upon me, I presume ( ought to aay something on the subject—nor would it se out ot place for it was based upon the even: which brought us together this evening; but the abuse is far too gross for me t- speak about, or for you t> hear; su! Gee it to say, that it seemed more like ‘the outpouringe of the concen‘rated essence of malice, prompted by the spirit of a fiend, than from a human being, simply on ac- count of # difference of opinion. The charges u70n which the attack was based were that I presided at the anniversary of aine’s birthday, where they said “Jesas ‘Christ was uniformly treated with the choicest blasphemy of wich its memters are capable,” and that I mud9 speeches on such cecasions which were ax ‘famous as iafamous,’’ &e., &e. So you see you were implicated with me. Misery, they ‘say, lizes company. P tata glory hikes it as well; and as you were participators in the crime, I am perfectly willing you should partake of the gions ‘also. ry One who attended the cele- bration, andeven some wh» probably never attende!, but who wery guilty of thinking for themselves and expreasiog theic though’ freely, were iocladed in the attack. Waldo Emerson, Wendal Philips, Thecdore Parker and Harriet Martineau were freely wention:d, but not daring to attack them personally, T was honored with place in the front rank, to receive the entire contents of the battery of priestly intolerance, meant for all. It is, indeed, an honor to suffer for such men, ed such a cause—but it honored me not—for the contained only smoke, which cleared off and left whe atmo:phere brighter and purer than betore. In jus- tice to Bangor, I must sey, that the author of these ia- famous attacks was not a citizen of that place; for though ftaey appeared ‘as eoitorials in the Mercury, ‘yet tt was tood—us I was informed—that the poor, siily editor was only & tool of a notorious c¥aracter who moved there from this city; one of whom the Tribune, in reference to some resentations in connection with the affsir of the Book Publisaing Society, aaii, ‘I mean no tees charscter thaa the Rev. Kafus Wilmo: Geis wold, D, D., a person #0 notorious in this commu: to tance a calumny to bim sutiiers effectually to dispose of it” But, heiog unable to effect the object, the Rey. Mr. iittle, of Bangor, came to his uid. and, uniedly, they used their power and influence, by private letters and pub.ic appeals, io induce the committee to break the en- gegement with me, or to prevent the peopla from heariog me; and yet, although the Rev. Mr. Little, in a long, aburive article, suid, “TI will use all moral means mors! with a vengeance to thwart Mrs. Rose's influence, sohe'p me (od,’’ the committee did not vi late their word, and the people did come to hear. Most nobly did they, by their presence, exonerate themselves from aay partictpation in these fiendi+h attacks, and vindiea’e and sustain the right to freedom of speech; and the result, I doubt not, will be good. Moral freedmm has gatne! a vietory; the peop'e will, I hope, be roused to the fac’ which Kistory and every day's experience demonstrate, viz; that the priesthood in all ages arrogate t) them: selvee the right te dictate and contro! the actions of aocletz. Clerical ssumption, if unchecked, knows no bounds. But, the sks to the noble martyrs of freedom, the poxer has been wrested from their grasp, the poi- aonous fangs have been extracted; and though they still endeavor to bite, it is quite harm'ess now. But I am bapry ‘0 aay that there are noble exceptions, as evinced by Rev. Mr. Battles, who most nobly agat the battle o! freedom in Bangor. But, as a class, history bears me Out that the assertion {s true, they have ever ed themselves the greatest hindrence to progress, amd the «worn enemies to reform and reformers, who, if they could not destroy, they slandered and viilified. This ‘ia evitent in their treatment to Thomas Paino. Every member cf this republic ought to feel it a duty to We Soe of respect to one who devoted his time, ta- energies and mosns to the cause of human rights. But so pernicious has been the effect of falsehoid tha: the sense of jurtice and gratitude has been‘ stidet, and be ts treated with abase and opprobrium. The protext for it is, that during the latter pact of his life he was in- tomperste, Well, suppose it were true—which it is not: we havs ample livicg testimony to disprove it—what then’ Are the truths he uttered less true ’—the services he recdered this country less yaluable?—or his works less sastructive and beautiful? tightly cultivated minds and teelings unrerverted by preyudice would, while contem. pla‘ing his virtues, regret that one so intellectually great ‘ané actly true should, in common with his kind, hare been azh,*ct to the frailties of homan nature, and have fallen a victi= tom weakness that has burried some of the wisest and best ic an untimely grave, and while honoriag al that was good ist him, would throw the mantle of charity over his one iafling. But while ministers of oh’ and state who hove filled a drunkard’s we are honored and eul gized, iis presumed fault ia Foxes Paine is so magnified as to ovérsbadow his whole character. And not only in bis life but im his death, is he misrepresented; bis death has been painted in the darkest colors, and neld up to frighten children of a larg- er .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. In the winter cf 1847~'48 inquiry waa made of me as to the coldness of that winter osmpared with that of the preceding. I took up my record book of hourly thermo- metrical observations aad commenced counting the num- ber cf houra in each month during which the tempera- ture wasat and below the freezing point of Farenheit. The first term was eighty-zeven hours at and below 22 ceg., with three hours additional at 33déeg. This was at the win'er soletice. Next were fiva several and distinct terms cf ninety coreecutiva hours each, and one of forty- five hours, or half ninety, und thea a term of ninety hours, Then eight several terms oscurred between the 20th cf Dec, 1847, andthe 17th of March, 1848. Io a com- munication which I addressed to the Regects of the Uni- versi'y of the State of New York and wnish was pubd lished 1 their report to the Legislature, (senate Doou- ment No, 71, fof 1848,) I said:—'The inquiry arises, to what particular cause these eyeles are owing? Why should they be nears quarter of & eof 360° And why should they come within the time tatervening between the winter solstice and the verna aiaox!’” In the winter of 1848-2 Nature answered substun- tially that 360 was the measure of the great circle of which cold terms were cycles. On the Slot of December, 1848, between the hours of A4and5P.M., the temperature fell below the freezing point, and continued below that line gotil the 13th of January, 1849, when it rose above thd line. Tais, 1; will be seen, by counting up the hours, numbered three hun- dred and fifteen (315) hours, three and a halftimer 90, or s:veu-eighths of $60. The next cold term commenced on the Sth of February, between5 and 6 P.M., and con- tinnec to the 11th, at 10 A. M., which is 136 hours, or one hour more then one ands half times ninety, or three- eighths of 360. The cold term which followed this commenced at 2 A. M. of Februsry 12, and continued to between 9 ard 10 A. M. of February 23; duration two hundrec and seventy-one hours, or One hour more than three times ninety, or six-eighths of 360, T regarded there eleven several and distinct terms a+ conclusive of the measure of the great circle, being 360 hours. Ail subsequent obse:vaticns accord with this measure. In the winter of 185i-'55, a cold term commenced here on the 20th of January, and continued till the 13th of ¥ebruary; ita duration was a little short of 360 aours. The difference in the measure i imputed to the inaccura- cy of instruments and not to the variation of the cold. The present cold term commenced on the 26th day of December, between Gard 7 A.M, The 10th of January, at the same hour, would count exaztly 360 hours. Now, the hourly records of temperature ahow that at 1A. M. of the 9th the temperature fell below zero, and continued depressed until § A. M. of the 10th, when the temperature rose above zero, and the atmosphere became regularly milder. Now, take the next 90 hours, which reach to the 25th of January, at the same hour in the morning, when we find by the hourly records of temperature that reat and sudden fall took place in the temperature, ing almost instantly to wishin 14 degrees of zero, and continued downward till next day, preseating the con- verse of the 10th Now, egain, we will goa little farther ani count trom Dec, 26, between Gand? A.M, forward ninety hours, and reach the nigat «f the th December, at the very hour in which the temperature was seven de- grees beiow the freezing point, and yet rain was falling and freezirgas it struck on solid substances. Again, count forward another nivety hours, and we reach the 2d of January, at 6¥. M., wh fine rain was falling, while the temperatare was degrees below the freez ing point. Then cpunt forward trird ninety hours to the Sth, at noon, dd we reach that precise time when the great snow storm commenced—the most wonderful storm recorded for many years. It is thus seen that there is harmony and order ia the movements of the cold. This long cold term is connected with earthquakes, Already acecunts have been received of an earthquake at San Francisco on the 24 of January, at St. Jago de Caba, on the 4th; at Ogdensburg, york, om the night of the 5th; and at Winchester, Virginia, on the morning of the %th—all oceurring on days which were marked here by an extraordinary state of weather, except that of the th, My aystem of counting the temperature in equilibria is similar to that of count the cold terms. Long con- tinued and carefully recorded observations afford conclu- sive evidence that equiitbriations of temperature, as well ‘as great and sudden changes cf temperature, are imme- diately connected with earthanak E.

The witnesses of Moore were called for cross-examination by Mr. Clinton, when Mr. Buateed ‘aid that the examination could not take place with his consent unless the megistra'e pledged the faith of the State that their testimony would not be used hereafter, as there were seven or eight indictments pendiag agrinst them in the Court of Sessions.

He recommended both counsel to mest him at 10 c’elock to-morrow (this) morning, before that of- ficial, to take his advice in the mat er.

Couneel for Mrs. Forrest, on the other hand, replied that the witness had objected to answering the prececing en- quizies, on the ground that they would degrade him; that the Court, to satisfy itself, urged him on; toat def+ndant's counsel acknowledged the object was to degrade the wit- rear, but contended that the question was relevant to tae issue, and should therefore be anawered; that he (coun- se] for plaintiff) objected to the question on the ground ofits irrelevancy alone, which objection was sustained by the Court, and that Mr. Van Boren was mistaken in supporing that the ruling ofthe Court was on the ground of protecting the witness from degradation. The argument was finally closed, the papers submitted to the Court, and the decison reserved. Police Intelligence. SURRENDERED BY HER BAIL. Mr. Jobn Daly, who became bail for Mrs. Letitia A, Lineola, of the American Ladies’ Asecciation, arrested a tew days ago on a chargé of fraud, came to the Mayor's cfics yesterday morning, and surrendered Mrs. Lincoln into tbe hancs of the authorities.

Verdict ‘Accidental death.” McGurkin was only seventeen years of age. (gv sentence Mr. W. A. Maxwell, TO THE EDWOR OF THE HERALD, In the obituary notice of the late Colonel Wm, H. Max- well, in your paper of the 28th inst., it {x asserted that Mr. Maxwell was Scotchman, and that this was his adopted country. If there was one thing more than another on which Col. Maxwell prided himeelf, it wos bis being a native born American, being a Gescendant of one of the oldest farat- lies in this commer, His maternal ancestors dated a4 far back a6 1680.

It is the workof Mr. N. B. Clarke, who is very happy in the con- struction of effective pleces, giving an opportustity for stage effect. The spacious theatre was crowded to ox- ceas, and our view of the stage was considerably obscured by numerous very nice hate. The play is feunded upon ® popular English superstition of the sixieenth century, that Windsor forest was haunted byan equestrian demon of immoral character and wicked course of life generally. ‘Thus evil-disposed spirit took nocturnal rides about the forest, carrying off young maidens and indulging in va- rious other illegal sports. At the Bowery be appears in various attitudes, and rides an extraordinary horse over | presipices, on the tops of trees, and other singular piaces. ‘We cannot give the whole plot—it is lengthy and some- what complicated. There are situations enough for half @ dozen plays, and some twenty-five characters are introduced, including King Henry the Eighth, Aune | Boleyn, (probably Ann Bullen,) Queen Katharine and various ether historical personages. The scens trans- | pires at Windsor, and the manager seems to have suc- eveded in gfving a picture of thst royal demesne in bluif Harry's roystering days. In one scene we have all the old English sports, and another gives a view of the celebrated curfew tower. Thore is no geest opportunity for the display of histrionic talent in a drama of this hind, und therefore we shall not attempt to analyse the acting, but tim;ly conine ourselves to a suggestion to all the corps dramatique to tone down their atyle. They shout too loud, and act too much. The piece went off smoothly, and much to the satisfaction of the audience. The Bowery has peculiar facili ies for the proper display necessary to the euscess of pieces of this kind, and we have no doubt that ‘ Herne the Hunter” will rize his demon horse during many nights.

Fartax Accipent by THRowing Sxow ovr THE Roor or A Hovst —Yester@ay afternoon about 4 o'clock, as Mr. Wm. H, Warzer, residing at No. 169 Amoa street, was crossing Twenty-rixth street, at the corner of Broadway, he was almost instantly killed by being struck on the head with a heavy lump of snow, which fas thrown from the roof of one of the adjacent houses, by two laborers who had been bired to clear off the collection. The untortuntte man was immedigtely picked up and conveyed to a drug store, but lite was ex'inot. His neck had in all proba- bility been broken by the blow. The Twenty-first ward police hearing of the occurrence, proceeded to the spot and arrested the laboress for working in such a careless manner. They were taken to ths station house, whore they gave their names as Patiick Cassin and Michael I'a- gan. and were thereupon committed to prison to await the Coroner's ioquisition, Tee Streets—A THaw.—The thermometer stood at 28 and 40 degrees yesterday, wih wind from Southwest aud atmoephere cloudy, betgkening rai or loose snow. This temperature, with a steady wind from the South, would | soon rid our city of the snow nuisance, a consnmmation devoutly to be wished. Much of the snow was thawed out yetterday, and while this is going on tho police ehould im erafively in‘ist on householders clearing out their gutters as the law directa, and thas prevent the ipundstion of cellars and basements, which in conse- qvevt on such thawing. It would be well in the side strects up town to level the snow, which now stands in great ridges on cach site of the street, with » gul'y in the centre for vehic'es.

Our Washington Correspondence, Wasuixcton, January 28, 1856. The Central American Question in the Senate—Gieat Speech of Gen. Lewis Cass—Rich Scenes in the Howsem Withdrawal of Mr. Banks—Hops at the Hotels, dc. Some time since, I telegraphed you that we were ‘on the eve of a war with Great Britain.”’ This was an item which seemed to tax the credulity of many at the time; but subsequent developements have tended to confirm my statement, which was made upon the authority of two high officials, and the Senate’s proceedings to-day, all go to corroborate my despatch. The notice given that the sub ject of our Central American relations would be upon the tapis, drew an immense concourse of anxious specta- tors to the national capitol. The galleries, lobbies, and passages leadirg to the Senate chamber were crammed and crowded as Jong as one more could be squeezed in. This fairly indicated the outside feeling on the subject, and proved that an anxious solicitude is felt by the people on the subject of the anticipated rupture with Great Bri‘sin. The whole question of our diplomatic relations with England was brought under ieview by Gen. Lewis Cass, the father cf the Senate; und when I say he made the greatest speech which ever fell from his lips I only express the opiniow of his brother Senators and of all aho had the pleasure of listening te his eloquent de- fence ot American diplomacy and American honor. Tais speech, 1am pleased to say, will fitst appear in the columns of the New York Hera, tor which it has been specialiy reported and corrected. Afier the conclusion of his remarks, Senators Seward, Rusk, Clayton and others pressed around the old ‘‘ Roman”? and congratt- latea bi and the country upon his eloquent and unan- swerable vindication of our national position on all ques- tions threatening the peaceful relations between this and the mother country. It was an effort worthy of Heary in hia palmiest days. The House of Representatives has been the theatre of some rich seenes to-day—the most prominent of which was the ‘crushing out” of Mr. Wade, of Ohio, by his Gistinguisbed colicague, Lewis D. Campbell. Mr. WW had written an anonymous communication for the Cieveland Herald, in which he made an attack upon the political and perssnal honor of Mr. Campbell. This attack was repelled, and witnesses called to the stand who ignored every word of it. Memberafter member rose and stamped the statement of the correspondent, (who was known to be Mr. Wade), as false, He at‘empied a vindication, but entirely ina ‘ Pickwickisn’’ sense. It would be weil hereatier, when honorable members denounce newspa- per scribblera in the lobby, that they should include al thore on the floor ‘The Black Prince also came in for a broadside. Mr. RA- die read from the 7ritune, where he was charged “BH with not voting on the 122d ballot for Speaker. This Mr. Eddie pronounced false, and said a man who would misrepresent with the record betore him, was no better than a wilful falsifier, Were a resolution offered to-mor- row to expel tne editor of the Zribune fcom the Hall, {t would carry by an overwhelming majority, and by the aid of the republican party.
