A convention of the ‘“‘soud men’’ connec‘ed with the sugar interests of tne State of Louisiane me: yeterday at Lyceum Hall, for the purpose of counselling ther acd agreeing on some plan by which they could rid the sugar trade of existing incumbrances. There were more ‘thi 4 Apasared delegates present from different portions of the State. At 12 o'clock the convention was called to order, and on motion of Mr. Williams, of Lafourche, the following officers were a} — “ . John Moore. President—! Vice Presidents—M. O. H. Norton, Hon.

Flower. ae hale, paicenned the meet- length. dwelling largely on the impor- the State, and enforcing ‘8 rich array of facts and figures. The results of the convention, he trusted, would be altke im- rtant and acceptable to the merchant end the pian- r, for each was directly interested in the other’s suc- cess. After thanking the convention for the honor done im selecting him to preside over its celiderations, he sent on to state that the sugar crop of 1854-’5 consisted of 346,635 hogsbeads of sugar, worth $40 per bogshead, and 677,840 barrela of molassee, worth $7 20 per barre’. In rourd figures, the value fot the sugar was $14 000,000, @ molasses was $8,000,000, making in aM, say seventeen miUions of dollars. Of tue crop there were landed at the city of New Orleans 102,742 hhds. of sugar, and 310,718 bbls. of molasses, represen ing about tea willions of dollars. This gross amount patd a heavy per centage to the city in the way of frevg! charges and comumissions, which was estimated $1,100,000, To this should be added the commission on suger and molasses sold on plantations by commission merchants resident in the city, and the sum would be awelled to $1,250,000. Then there were the commissions, charges on exports and on supplies to p'scters, which would amount to sbout an equal sum, making toe city’s portion of the annual crop about $2,500,000. Jocge Moore went en to say, that trom the best information he could obtain, the eee, of 1855-"6 though considerably less than that of the prceedizg year, woulo yet realize as much, it not more, at existing market rates. He pu duwn the crop at 225, C00 hegebeads of sugar, worth say $18,000.00; and 360 0€0 barrels of molasses, worth $4,500,0C0, making of $22,600,000, And he took it for granted thet the com- missions endcharges will at Jeast equal the amount levied on the preeeding crop, as a correrponding portion of the crop will find its way to New Orleans. But of thew charges and commissions he did not intend to complain. Indeed, he knew that they were jess than exacted in most of the Atlantic cities, but he did complein, and the plant- ers cf the State haa ’'s right to complain, of the want of tacilities afforded by the city authorities.’ Tae space fur- nirbed on the levee for sugars is not large enough, and the thirt; hours within which it mast be removed, do not sufficiency cf time to effect advantageous sales. As the thirty-six hours are about to terminate the sptculstor makes his appearance, ard offers half a ceat per pound below the ruling rates, and not untrequeni Pte olter sceupted. And: then fumorbath it tat the epeculator is accommodated witn additional time, but how he effects the arrangement with the officers in ae of the landing is not known. At any rate, the suspicions arise in the minds of the planters, and commerce without confidense cannot be custained. It becomes degraded, and relapses pto the hand to hand barter of savages. Nor ig the city 2 ita corpcrate capacity wholly wi:hout intere#t in this business.” From the one hupired and furty pariners in the seventy sugar commiusiom houses of the city, a reve- nue of $7,000 is derived, walle the wharves devotea to the landing of eugar pays some $30,000. This is the corpora- tion’s tax on the sugar interes<, and it is hot a very tri- fliog one, and he thought the corpgration should not force the planter to make other and unnece:sary sasrifices, On examining the price current for the year 1854-5, he found that in the months of Uetober, November and De- cember there arrived 257 steamboats soaded with sugar and molasses, and in the three following months an equal rumber. If, durmg the remuinder of the year, half that number arrived, there woud be a total of 771, exclusive of other ceaciiptions of vessels. It was from’ these taat the wha:fage revenues he had spoken of were derived. The greates! quantity of sugar avd molasses that ever ar- rived in any three days eame m the three preceding the 27h of January, 1856. The amvuate received were:— Sugar, 6,285" “hogsheads; molasses, 9,496 barvels, and it continued to arrive with almost eqial rapidity up to the 7th ot February. Could it, there- fore, be supposed that with such arrivals the sugar landing was rufliciently large, and that the forced sales consequent on such forced removals did not operate to tbe planters’ prejudice? For bis part, a beliet that the interests of the planters were not fairly consulted, had deterred im from sending his crop to this market for the past two years ; and he knew that many other plan‘ers were getting into the same way of thinking. Ana thus is the commercial standing ot the city injured. A few days since he took ® walk slong the sugar landing, ani fwurd water two incves deep lying around sugar hogs heads. The place was a ci-grace, as a sugar mart, to t city of New Orleans. A proper ‘avd ample space, with sheds, should be provided, and not @ mere mud hole. In wet weather it is utterly impossiole to remove sugars in the t'me allowed, and it is well known that sagars ace in- jured by removal. Some thought that a mart might be advantageously established on tae otaer ride of the river, but a ciffioulty would exist about getticg steamboats to go there. Tee difficulty woulc not, however, he ineuyer- able. If that place were selected it would still be within the port of New Orleans, for an act of Congress had ex- tended the port to the opporite bank. Ail these matters should be taken into consideration by the convention, and would, doubtlers, before the westion closed. ‘On motion of Mr.’ WILUAMS, a committee was then appomted to take into consideration ail the chjects of the convention, and repgrt such resolutions as might be deemed advisable. The committee, a4 appointed by the Cheir, consists of Mesars. Williams, Kobert Brashear, A. McCuliom, Tucker, Gibson, Minor, Cage aud Hanna, SECOND DAY.

LECTURE OF PROFESSOR FELTON BEFORE THE GHO- GRAPHICAL 806IRTY. An interesting lecture was Celivered last night in the University, by Pref. Feiton, on adopting » universal #ys- tem of decimals in weights and measures. The audience was very limited. Mr. Henry Grinnell introduced to the ‘sudience Prof. Faurox, who said :—Mr. President, agreea- dle to appointment, 1 will make a few remarks upon a uniform rule of weights and measures in all countries. ‘Much that is submitted will appear at first unimportant, but I flatter myself tbat it will finally appear otherwise. Everything ! advance will involve sume important princi- ple, The merchant and tradesman, the buyer and seller, wi'lall experience some benefit from carrying out such « sysiem as I propose, I am prepared to show it will do | away with much of commercial arithmetic, In deserib- | ing the decimal system, it is only nesessary to observe | that it is ordinary computation, It will be seen that di- vision is important in this agstem. It is a matter of con- gratulation that decimads are already established in this | country in our currency, he ryatem of weights as now in use opens the Coor 10 eveay system of fraud and impo- sition. Oue of the many peculiar properties in this system is, that you have only to set down the res of apy given quantity, and the larger deromina t can beentily read ef. Byr instance, if umtts pre vail in weight, as in figuses, ve put down 1,856 ounces, and at oree by dividing by unita, read one bundred weight, ¢ ght stone, five pounde and six ounces. And then, again, if we wanted to ssceriain now many ounces there were in one hundred weight, we have oaly to add three eyphers, and we have the result, as we have the number of cents in the dollar, by adding two eyphers for cents or three cyphers for the number of mits. In short, we can have the wills, dimes, dollars and eagles of weights as we hay> of dollars in our owa curreney. With this eystem we could «lso multiply, and the result of mul- tiplying weight by money or prices would be the right amount without any other dedustions, What we have here said o: weights and measures may aise be anid of dry measure. Tnis system appears more Particularly useful when viewed in conneelion with pries. Six dol- lars CM preg would be six dimes a t, six cents a gill and six mulls a dram; ani on the other side of gallons, {t would be six eagles per hundred weight and sixteen eagles per ton, and thus we see that by estab- Ushing » 1 system of weights and measures, as well an currency, we shou'd have currency and measures mereting coe with the other. Of cloth measure we ave ‘same result from the application of this syste... This game uniformity of eeauriog. and reckoning might be carried out into square measure and cubic measure. Even to land measure we may, sPPly. the same system, although this cannot be cslled commercial reckoning. We can eay 10 links 1 stave, 10 staves 1 perch, 10 perches 13004, 10 roods 1 chain, and 10 chains lacre. And then we see that putting down a gross amount of links by dividing by decimala, we bave without further deduction acres , Toods, perches, staves and links; and mul- tiplyin> this by dollars and cents, we bave the revals at once \olars and cents. As ae the importance of weights and measures, the old ns of land con- tended for this when they demanded and gained from King John the Megna Charta. The decimal system cer- tainly, view it as you will, stands more free from objec- tion than any other. I’ now come to show tust the decimal system could be adopted in this country without any colli-ion. It can only be done by the fiat of those who direct our commerce, A fow more dry measures must be supplied, a few more men- sures in avordupois weights, and certainly all these im- provements can be obtained at very small price, Multi- ply weight by price, we could get the price by multipiy- ing ounces or pouncs by cen 6, without avy tr ubdlesome deduction, and get the result in dimes, cents and dolars. In neming the advantag-s of this ayrtem, we may, in the firet place, do away with some of the troublesome and upni rules of arithmetic, such as compound mul- tiplication, and mental arithmetic will be greatly ad- vanced. In the second place, all commercial calculations will be much more accurate and much more simple than pow. Frcem @ cslculation, it has become clear that the system I advocate would caves clerk in an ordinary bu- floes nine years in thirty-five devoted to the preseat system. From our decimal currency, we are in an advantageous position to take the first step in adopting this new system. I ama veteran in thia field, having devoted seventeen years of my !ife to it, and I can safery y the adoption of this system would be # benefit to the ized world. A motion was then made and carried that the thanks of the Society be tendered to Professor Felton for hls dis- course, snd s copy of it be requested for publication. Jonn Jay then mace a motion that a committee be ap- pointed to Craw up « memorial to be presented to Con- gress, arking for a uniform sys.em of decimals applied to weights and measures. A motion to amend Chis meotion, U7. referring the who‘e matter to the Council, was carri Axeport was then made and accepted, stat that Peter Cooper had promised the society rooms in new pg ep atta ey returned to Peter Cooper ‘ne tharks ct the acciety were for hie liberal offer. ‘The aceiety then adjourned. Leeture on Shakerism. F, W. Evans, 8 member of the Shaker fraternity of Lebavon, delivered a lecture last evening, at the Broad] wey Tabernacle, on the doctrines of the peculiar feater- pity to which he belongs. Tne novelty of the subject, and the eccentricities of dress and manners of this socie- ty, attracted a large audience. Mr. Evans was dressed in along blue coat, somewhat after the cut known as the Shargbae; a rather capacious nother garment, » Quaker vest, apd a low crowned, broad brimmed hat. He read his lecture, in which he was assisted by a brother of the society, who was ¢ressed in @ similar style. He began by referring to the genersi impression which, be said, pre- vailed in the community with regard to the industrious character of the Shakers. In this the public were cor- rect, but they were wrong in believing that the Shakers held doctrines that were in dixect opposition both to reason and the Scriptures. It was true they did not agree in the belief of the Chiistians as to the coming of the Sa- viour; they believed that the Christ of the Christians was not Jesus, and tiat he was yet to come. In coutradi- stinction to them they regarded him man, actuat-d, it might be, by the spirft of God, but stilla man. There are, the lecvurer said, eighteen different socicties of Shakers, scattered in seven of the States of the Union. It was ovly in free countries that they flourished, and to this was attiibutable the fac: that they are not to be found in foreign lands. The fraternity was established in 1792, when the first society was organized. Th:ir doctrines were very simple, and free from those abstiuse questions by which Christians are per- plexed. Christ they looked upon as the first thsker, and be lived, eaid the speaker, in accordance with the manoer of the fraternity at the present cay. ‘There were, they believed, four dispansa'ious—the first from Adam to Abraham, the second from Aoraham to Moses, the third to Ano Lee, toe fourth from Ann Lee to the nineteenth century. Here Mr. Evans went into a cissertation on various points of the Scriptures, and dwelt with particular emphasis on that par: that peaks of Moses talking with God in the burning bush. ‘{n the Seriptusl acccunt the words “Lord,” “God” and angel were introduced, and as these were somewhat c fused , they required explanation. Now, be, the speaser believed that the Got here spoken of was a local deity, and cot the Supreme Kuler of the Universe, and tust was the God of the Israeli Like them Shakers dwell alone and a-e an exclusive ple. Moses, he believec. was merely a mediator, and forgotghis character avlsuch when, striking ‘he rock, he said, * chall I bring water out of this rock for ye, ye re- dels!’ ‘Like the Israelites, too, they held property in ccmmen, for, as was shown in the gathering of the man- ra in the wilderness, of which all purtook @ tke, without Gisimction, they all lived in a state of equaiity. This equality, which was es:ablished by God, proved that man bad not only a right to Jive, bute right to tha. by which life is sustained. ‘The Shukers did not observe the Sad. vath of the Christians—it was the Saboath of the L-rael- ites that they reepected and kept holy. The circumeision of the Jews ves, he said, a hind of bap- tiem, and the Shakers believed, as Moses taught, that’ marrisge was only ordained tor the pur- poses of procreation, and when it was employed for any other purpose then it became Inst. Moses was the high priest of the order of procreation, He never taught the principle that # Jew must lead a virgin life, but he aid teach, as the high prieet of the generative order, that the law of marriage was sexual intercourse for procreation only, The intercourse of the sexes shoald only take piace for the puzpose of reprocuction, and anything yond that is lust of the flesh it is a vislation of the phy- siological laws of our being. rything that took piace among the Jews between the sexes had to be made public, and the parties were shut from the camp tii evening, and they were washed with water, after which they were to bs admitted again. Now, what was this but baptizm? Every child tbat was born was pronounced unclesn. and if@ femae the mother was to be purified during eignt da # male twice that number.

Aquorum can transact business, except the ® law which requires a majority of poi eof the Drembers elected. 2 From the Counsel to the ‘in answer as to tion, ‘Whether a person nomina‘ by a head of a re ment, or bureau, can legally: discharge the duties of the effice te which he has Bominated, and claim b salary for the same, without first being confirmed by Board of Aldermen.” The counsel says s nomination by a head of dey it, or bureau, ir clearly not an ap- peintment. The statute makes the consent of the Board necessary, and it canmot be dispensed with. No person nominated to the Board for an office can legally Gischarge the duties of that office without confirmation. It follows from this conclusion that no such person can claim the salary attached to the office. The salary is Gué to the efficer, not to the one who performs the duties of the office as a mere volunteer. ‘The communications were oraered to be priated.

The Reeent Fagitive Slave Tragedy at Cin- clnnat! x the Cincinnati Gazette, Jan. 29.) Great excitement exisied througbout the city the whole of yestercay, in consequence of the arreat of & party cfrleves, and the murder of ber cbitd by aslave mother, while the officers were in the act of m: the arrest. A pariy of seventeen slaves escaped trom Boone Kenton counties, in Kentucky, (about sixteen miles from the Obio,) on Sunday night last, ard tuking with them two horses and a sled, crove that night to the Vhio, river, opposite to Western Row, in this city. Leaving’ the horses and sled standing there, they crossed the river on fost on the ice, Five of them were the alaves of Archibald Ks Gaines, three of John Marshall, both living in Boone county, a short distance beyoud Florence, and six of Lew F. Daugrerty, ot Kenton county. We have not learned who claims the other three. About 7 o’clock this morning the masters and their egents arrived in pursuit of their property. Taey swore out e warrant befureJ. L. Pe dery, Esq., United States Com missioner, which was put into'the hands of Deputy United States Marshal Geo'S Bennett, who obtained in formation that they were in a house Relonping to 8 gon of Ice Kite,tthe third house beyond Millcreek. © BOR WAS formerly cwned in the neigaborh vod from which they had ceceped, and was bought from slavery by his father. About 10 o'clock the Deputy Unired States Marshal pro- ceeded there with bis posse, including the slave owners and their agents and Major Marpby, ‘Kentuckian, and a large slavebolcer. Kite was called out and agreed to open the door, but afterwarcs refused. when two Ken- tucky officers, asei:ted by some of the Deputy Marchsls, forced it, whereupon the young negre man the father of the children, fired a revolver three times before he was overpowerga. By ome of these shots special Mar- sbal Jchn Patterson, who raised his arm to reach the pis- tol, had two of the fingers of his right hand shot off, the pall afrerwards striking bis lp. In the house were found four adults, viz., old Simon and bis wife, and que Simon snd his wife, and four cbildren of the , the o'dest near six years, and the youngest » babe of about nine months. One of these, however, was lying on the floor dy- ing, its bead cut almost entirely off. There was also a garh about four inches long in the throat of the eldest, and & wourd on the bead of tbe other boy. ‘The officers state that when they questiosed the boys about their wounds, they said the {clas threw them down ard tried to kiil them. Toe young woman, Perey, and ber four children, be- longed to Marsball, and her husband ana the old man si- mon, and the old woman Mary, to Gaines. Olid Simon and Mary ere the parents of young Simon. ‘The other nine of the party, we are informed, were put upon the cars yesterday, by @ director of the under- ground rai'way, and furnished with through tickets. Those arrested in Kite’s house were taken to the United Sta‘es court rooms about 12 0’clock, and guarded there until 3 o'clock, when Commissicner Vendery came and ‘opexed his court. Gaines appeared to claim his negroes, Marshall was represented dy bis son, but as he had ro power of attor- ney from his fatver, the case was postponed until nine o’ciock this morning, in order to give bim tite to supply this crrission. ‘Lhe tugitives were then taken to the Hammond street station house to be kept over night. The Marshal at. tempted to get a back to carry them there, but the crowd rightened all the hackmen that were called, so tha they deciined. They were afraid their ca:riages would b+ broken by the meb. Abost sn hour after they were taken there, Mr. Gaines came slong with the cead body of the murdered child. fle was taxing 1t toC virgton for interment, that it might reat in ground conseerated to slavery. About three o’elock a habeas corpus was issued by Judge Burgoyne and put into the hands of Deouty She- riff Jeff. Buctingbam. He went downto tue Hawmond street station h use, accompani+d by a posse, and took poression of the fugitives. Deputy Marshal Beonet re- fused at first to give them up, bat at leogth, after con- sulting with Mayor Farran, came and agreed to compro- mise by permitting them to be lodged for safe keeping in the county jail, During this debate Lieut. n, who has charge of the Hemmond street siation honse, re- fared to admit the gentleman who swore out the habeas corpus. When Gainer, the master, came along he wat freely aémitted, and this gentleman walked in behiad him, but was seized by Lieut. Hazen and put out. Deputy Sheriff Buckingham baving put the fugitives in a’bus got in himself, aud Cirected it to be driven to the jail, but Mr. Benner jumped on the box and ordered the Griver to drive to the United States Court Rooms, Here anotber furs ensued, and Bewnet, by the assistance of special Mersbals, ron the fugitives up into als office. But Buckingham sent for Sherif Brashear ard « large force, and by these they were re-taxen and finaily lodged in the county jail about right o’clock lat evenio, They are pow in the ovstody of the Sheriff, said will not be forthcoming to attend Commis! ery’s Conrt this morning. Judge Bu:goyne, afier issuing the writ, started to Co- Jumbus. It is presumed he will be back at eleven o'clock this morning, the hour at which the writ is re- turpable, Coroner Menzies held an inquest yesterday afternoon en the body of the mardered slave child. Its throat ap- eared to have been cut by a single siroke of a knife, and it died a few minutes after thearrest, Mr. Sitton, who lives next door to Kite’s, \estified that sfter the other slaves were arrested by the ‘fficers, Mr. Gaines, the mas- ter, took this child and was in the act of carrying 1t off, when objections were made to it being removed sefore ap inquest was held. He at iength surrendered it to Mr. Mr. Button, in whose arms it died ‘The inquest was not concluded, but will be resumed at nive o'clock this morning, at the Corover's office. Itis eaid that it cap be proven that these slaves have frequently been in Ohio in company with their waste-s, and the question will be raised before Judge Burgoyne, on the trial of the habeas corpus, whether such bringing them into a free State has not rendered them freo, a it is er Pen.
