The committee having charge of te afair first organized at Thorp's Hotel, and then, ‘eecompanied by Dodworth’s band of twenty pieces, ex- @usive of drums, proceeded along Eghth street to Third avenue, op that thoroughfare to Twelfth street, and thence to the honorable gentleman’s re- sidence, playing martial music the whole way. @m arriving at the house the band arranged ‘hemscives along the pavement in front, and in a mas- ‘terly manner played the three national airs of the “Star Spangled Banger,” ‘Hail Columbia’ and “Yankee Doo- @c.”” They next performed a medley of popular airs, tmolndiag “Annie Laurie,” “Willie we have mised you,” and “Root bog, or die;” after which the Eleventh Ward Democratic Club began liberally discharging colored veekets, batteries and other fireworks, which they con- ‘tmued to do till after the close or the evening's enter- talmments. Shortly after nine o'clock a gentleman proposed ‘three keers for Hon. John Cochrane,” which were given with gesto, with the usual addition of a “tiger,” the band playing ‘Hail to the Chief.”” Loud calls were then made for Cochrane, who stepped out on to the stoop of his beuse and acknowledged the plaudits of the crowd, who had assambied in goodly numbers, notwithstanding the eoeln: 38 of the atmosphere. Mr. Marcoum CamPRELL introduced the object of their nerenade in appropriate terms, referring to him as the fauthful representative of New ¥ork City, whose con- sistent conduct during the four years he had served his eonetituents in the congressional has had merited their praise, and asserting that if New York had alwayz sent such men to Congress, and other cities had done like. ‘wise, the present troubles would not have arisen. ‘The Hon.

Still, this orief expe- rience, painful as it has been, is not unattended by a val- ‘wable lesson.

FRIGHT OF THE OCCUPANTS—NO FIRE ESCAPE ON THE BUILDING. Between three and four o’clock yesterday morning a most @pbolicai attempt was made to sot dire to the five story tenement house No, 274 East Housten street, Tho daring incendiary placed a large quantity of cotton bat- ting, paper and old rags at the foot of the second flight of stairs, and set fire to them. Had the stairs bean burned away, several lives, {2 all probability, would have been sacrificed, as the building is about egghteen or twenty feot higher tham those on cither side, and there t no fire escape upon the building, as required by an act of the Logisiature of last winter. Had thero beon a fire escape, such a6 required by law, on the building in Fortiett street, po lives would have heen lost at that tire. Mr. Jacob Benhak, who resides on the third floor, dis covered the fire, it appears that hia wife was \ll, and that her huxband was aroused to wait upon hor, when be discovered the smoke, and thus providentially preventet a destruction of Life. ‘The tre burned a hole through the flooring, and had worked ap to the top of the stairs, burking the under side of them considerably, An alarm was given, when some Lremen and the po.ioe arrived and evtingwiehed the flames, The datnage to the building will amount to about insured for $8 000 in the Pacific Insurance Company.

By the arrival of the North Briton at Portland we are fpformed of the death of M. Scribe, the must fruitful, successful and agreeable dramatic author of the day. M. Scribe commenced to write plays when he was twen- ty-one years of age—that is, fifty years ago—and has been constantly at work’ ever since. He was ® manufacturer of plays rather than an author, and no dramatic writer, except Lope de Vega, who pro- duced above five hundred comedies, has equailed Scribe in the number of his works. One account of his life puts the total of his plays at four hundred and fifteen—name- ly, five act comedies, 2; two and three act comedies, 20; vaudevilles, 250; books for grand operas, 40, for comic operas, 103. As we can, without research, recall the fact that Scribe apprars as the author of more than half a dozen five act comedies, we are satisfied that this estimate is quite moderate. Very little is known of Scribe’s early life. He was born in Paris, Rue St. Denis, and his father, a silk mercer, gave him a good education, intending, it is said, that he should beanotary. The youth had, however, an \utense pas- sion for theatres, and preferred writing plays to stuly- ing law. Like Congreve, he began early, before he was twenty, and wrote four or five plays which the managers with distressing unanimity declined. Not at all abash- ed, the young author persevered, and finally hal the happiness to assist at the performance of one of his own yaudevilles at the Gymnase, altogether the best theatre in Paris. He afterwards wrote for the Theatre Francais, and the Varietes. He supplied the famous Deja. zet with peg seat assisted nota little in the success of Celeste, (his plays being regularly appropriated by the English authors.) For Rachel he wrote (with Legouve) “Adrienne Le Couvreur,” aud “La Czarine.” For Auber he. furnished sparkling libretti for many of his most famous operas, including ‘ (iustave TUL. ,”” “Maganiello,” “Fra Diavolo” and “Lo Domino Noir.” Balevy is indebted to Scribe for the plot of ‘La Juive,” Meyerbeer may thank him for ‘Robert le Diable,” ‘Les Hoguer ots” and ¢L’Etoile du Nord.” Lemaitre and Wal- lack owe to him the capital creation, ‘Don Cwsar de Ba- zan;”’ and Burton’s Aminidab Sleek appeared first on tho stage in one of Scribe’s plays (‘*Le Mari a la €ampagae.”’) The English play writer—Bourcica: Charles Dance, Stirling Coyne an others—appropriate:! Scribo's matorial without i yhtest ceremony. One of his earliest works, “She Mune Seus {)'Empire,’’ has been thrice rendered into English, and each time presented as an en- tirely new work. Tt must be stated, however, that M. Scribe was himself slightly addicted to alibusterfug. He took the character of “Don Cwsar de Bazan” from a Spanish drama, (“‘Xarifa”), and the original of the ‘Serious Family”? Inay be found ina German comedy. It 1s also true of Scribe, as of Moiiere, that he never stole anything which he did’not improve. M. Scribe worked a it deal with collaborateurs. When a Fount author he ‘deen snubbed by the mana- gers, and he did not forget the circumstance in the hour of his success. Many atyro has to thank the veteran author for aid-in polishing up ideas in themselves good, but, as they were handled, entirely untit for the stage. Legouve, for example, could do not for the theatre without Scribes aid (vide “Le Bataille des Dames’’ and otber plays), and yet, in a purely literary point of view, Legouye was infinitely superior of Scribe. Beribe was a writer for the theatre ouly; be under- stoed his artists and his public perfectly—he satisiled tue one and never bored other.

As wo have said above, the English dramatists found in him a sort of milch cow, aud of course our theatres followed the British example.

He occu- pied one of the immortal forty chairs in the Academy—a distinction which crowned princes sigh for in vain; was an officer of the Legion of Honor, and enjoyed an income ‘of some $60,000 per annum. He resided, latterly, ia a beautiful country house at Mendon, near Paris, and over his gateway placed an inscription vo the effect that, as he owed his little property to the public, who had kindly as- sisted in the success of his werk, it was always Open to their inspection—a graceful acknowledgement which no one but a Frenchman would think to make. .

ELECTION OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN TO HONORARY MEMBERSHIP—READING OF A PAPER ON THE “‘IN- QUISITION IN AMERICA.”’ The reguiar monthly meeting of the New York Histori cal Society, took place on Tuesday evening at their rooms in Second avenue, and was attended by an un- usually large audience. Dr.Oscoop read a letter from the Hon. Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts, a member of the United States Congress of 1812, in response to a request to prepare a memoir of his connection with the National Legislature. He regret. ted being prevented from doing #9, and concluded bie communication with the expression of many patriotic and Union loving sentiments, An carthenware pitcher, bearing a well executed like- ness of Washington, was exhibited and viewed con- siderable interest, It wasa present to the Society, and is euppored to have been manufactured in England during Washington’s administration. President Lincoln, \u accordance with the rules of the Society in reference to the incumbent of the office of Chief Magistrate of the United States, was then, on mo: tion, unanimously elected an honorary member.

Considerable difficulty, however, was experi- enced in this work of evangelization. The natives re- fused to do labor after the manuer of civilized life, and withdrew themselves from companionship with the whites.

It is more than probabie that the fertile brain of the Superinten- dent of our Metropolitan Police concocted this absurd story for the purpose of making political capita! and in- gratiating himself into the good graces of Old Abe. No doubt Brother Kennedy argued to himself that the gentiment of gratitude was very powerful, and that if be could succeed in impressing upon the mind of Mr. Lincoln that he was the chief instrument in saving his life he would be amply rewarded by the bestowment of a snug Dirth, say the United States Marshalship or some other more profitable official position, But this illusory hope will probably vanish into thin air by the ure of bis conduct in reference to the silly report of a pre- meditated design to assassinate the President by the peo- ple of Baltimore, a member of the Metropolitan force being the informant.

The officer rejoined that he (Kennedy) was not com, tent to perform that physi- cal act—a remark which the Superintendent has detined in his charge to bo “disrespectful demeanor.” William- son immediately tendered his jon; but, it is said, that the Superintendent declined to submit it to the Com- missioners, resolving to try the ‘ coercive”’ y—that is, have the offensive officer arraigned, tried and dis- missed from the department. The detective, however, was bound to go to the Capitol, and’ he went without ission. The trial of Wiliamson was comm yes" ‘before Commissioners Bowen and Acton. A clerk in the inspector’s office, named Biias was examined for the prosecution. Among other things, he swore that while seated at his desk he heard a of the conversation between Mr. Kennedy and Wil- iamson, and he was of the opinion that the officer would Rpt Raye used sear pares ag he did had he not been under the influence of iiquor. This was rather @ weak case for the complainant, com- illiamson; for perfec sober both before and subsequent to the interview with Mr. Kennedy.

Arthur, af the Governor’s staff; Brigade Major 8. M. Alford, Qolonel Daniel Butter- field, Brigade Engineer Hubbell, Oaptain Boyle and others. ‘The lecturer eaid that the elevation of military science was a necessity which had been imposed upon nations since the earliest dawn of civilization, The most certain guarantee against aggression consisted in our own ability to meet it. The profession of arms had always been deemed honorable. History furnishes many examples of nations cultivating military acience. The history of the world is replete with accounts of aggreasions; to canvass the mo- tives of those engaged in these aggressions would be a task as difficult as to canvase the infinity of impulses by which man is actuated, Almost every government of antiquity taught their youth the military art. The speaker then explained the Persian, Spartan and Athenian systems of military art. France has its military school, ‘we have our military echeol at West Point, and a na: . school at Annapolis. The course of in- struction at West Point has shed a lustre around our smail army, aod the effects of our naval school will be felt the first occasion which may occur to call it into active service. The degree of proficiency of art in a State is indicated by its coin; the same may be said of its arms. The abori of America used arms of the rudest construction; the bow and the arrow were the chief weapons of tho hunteman and the warrior. The ancients used the same, aleo the spear and the Javelin, the sling and the sword, the use of gunpowder bewgy unknown to then. ’ Most of those wi were used in an improved form as they advanced into a state of civilization. The invention of gunpowder and its application to large and small arms of the most ingenious coustruction have made nations a terror to each other. He whotm at this cay rushes inte war without due preparation would be esteemed some- ‘what lees than a Bolen. Could the ancients have heard the thu ‘of our modorn artillery they would have imagined the Almighty in His wrath was shaking the universe. The ancients were very expert in the use of their rude weapons. Homer describes Atrides throwing bis lance with such force and accuracy a3 to pass through the shield of his enemy. Thosling was used by the Romans to harrass a retreating army. Their alin, ere chiefly taken from the islands of Minorca ret ni ca.

The lectu- rer then went on to relate the systemsof military forma- Persians and tion among the Greeks, lang during their different stages, and the incipiency of the cavalry system of tactics, Tho first warrior of any note was Nimrod. He, it is supposed, founded the Assyrian em- 5g about one hundred and fifteen years after the flood. lis conquests and those of his successors were com. mented upon and described. A sketch of the groat Dattle its results between Cyrus and Croesus was given down to the conquest of Babylon. The speaker then alluded to a later period, when Greece, Syracuse, Carthage and Rome were an advanced state of civili- zation. Alexander the Great, after having humbled Egypt, swept over Asia with the violence of a tornado. Syracuse, by the genius of Archimedes, kept the Greeks in check.’ Cart pursued her conquests to the walla of Rome. The military greatness of Rome was acquired chiefly by the excellence of her military discipline. The rights of her citizens were guarded with the greatest care. Having acquired great skill and renown she became an a and carried her conquests into Ge and Britain. These persistent assaults abrogated the otherwise good effects of her civil law.

He said that the present Ni is an examplar of the principle that monarchs rule by the consent of the gov- erned. The lecture, which was interesting throughout ‘was concluded with a reference t> the Crimean war an the lesson taught to the Russian Czar, that the pliant serf to be a good soldier must be free.

The new regimental armory for the Sixty-ninth regi- ment, over the Eseex market, is fast approaching com- pletion, and when it shall have bean finished will be next in size to the Seventh regiment armory. To effect this arrangement the wall of the market building oa the inner or Essex place side has been raised to the height of three stories. The new wails are sixteen inches thick, and the floor beams wel! anchored into them. The floors of both stories are supported in part by immense iron columns, running from the ground base of the building to the floor of the third story. The new armory will be co vered with a massive truss roof. When completed the interior will comprise a regimont drill room, forty by ninety feet; company drill rooms covering an area of forty by eighty feot, and a battalion drill room, forty- three by one hundred and twenty-six feet. A small gal- lery or orchestra box will be placed in the latter. The entrance to the whole will be from Rssex place, where a large ornamental military staircase will be placed, reach- ing from the sidewalk to the second story. THE COLORS FOR THE SIXTY-NINTH REGIMENT. The new silk standard to be presented to the Sixty- ninth regiment by a committee of citizens, the new sword or Colonel Corcoran from the same source, and the mas- sive gold medal, a present from the citizens of San Fran- ciscoto the regiment, will be formally presented next Friday evening, at tho City Assembly Rooms. It is re- ported that Judge Emmett will preside on that occasion, and that Thomas Francis Meagher and Richard O'Gorman, Esqe., will make the presentation speeches. . THE FIFTH REGIMENT. There is an excellent esprit du corps prevailing in the Fifth regiment, Colonel Christian Schwarzwaelder. During the past winter they have made numerous accessions to their active membership, 80 that it now ranks second only in numerical strengih to the Seventh regiment, Encouraged by their succese in the management of the Rea-coast during their one week’s ‘ison duty last fall at Wood, 's Island, ani the very flatter- ing report made to the Secretary of War by Lieutenant ‘William Sinclair, the army officer who superintended the drill, they have determined to adopt the seacoast gun drillas an addition to their infantry tactics. fhey have regolved, in order to give practical effect to their resolu- tion, to purghase at their own expense a | Bea-const barbette . Before this commendable measure shall one of ery in the First division, by authorizing the building up of the south wall of the Essex market building another story, #0 a8 to conform in style of architecture with that of the building now being altered for the Sixty ninth regiment armory.

Mancn 6.—Zhe Summit County Bank vs. the Phanix Bank.—This suit was brought to recover $1,000 under the following state of facte:—In 1857 the plaintiffs depo- uted for collection with the Ohio Life and Trust Company ‘8 dill of exchange for $1,000. That institution being in want of funds, deposited the bull, together with other otiable paper, with the defendants, as collateral sec rify for a town’ svanced to the company. Afver the failure of the Trust Company the defendants procesded to collect their coliatorals as far as available The plain tiffs now claim that their bil of exchange having been loft as collateral only, they were entitled to the proceeds The defendants cliimed that the plaintiffs must sue the receiver of the Trust Company to whom the bili of ex change had been given, inasmuch as no action could be brought against 1 for collecting the amount. The Judge charged that that wos a question for the jury. If they found that the Trust Company had contro! of the Dill of exchange alter its transmission, and the defen tants hal advanced money upon it in good faith, the secartt could not be reclaimed unlers the advance was first .
