It is designed, in rémodelling the present constitution, to make very radical changes in the manner of the government of New York city, and most of will probably be thrown overboard by the delegates when they come to the discussion of the municipal sions for the management of our markets, wharves and piers, &c., may therefore result merely in labor lost.

It is only natural that Europe should have the start of us in suggesting such @ society, as gentlemen of ample leisure are more numerous there, and instances of aggravated brutality to animals have always been of more constant recurrence, — of all classes are far more docile with us than with Euro- peans, and it is the know! of this instinctive gentle- ness on their part which makes vs feel indignant with a cosree, unfeeling driver, who maltreats without reason @ beast of burden. The society was organized in New York last April through the active exertions of Mr. Henry Bergh, who was subzequently elected President, 1t was incorporated bya act of the Legislature, and com: ope- rations on the Ist of May. Ten v! an exeontive committee of fifteen members were elected, comprising some of the principa! men in the commu- nity, The roll of members was rapidly ran up to ope hundred and fifty-four, and promises to receive a still farther accession of names, roproesotag the wealth and and intellectual worth of the city. The present offive of the Society is at*No, 826 Broadway, in a rather unproteutious building, but when the funds permit of it a handzome edifice will be devoted to the purposes of t society. The receipts up to this have amounted to tl inconsiderable sum of $6,500; the disbursements hat reached about balf of that amount, In the early stages of the society, owing to limited means and the limited number of members, cases of cruelty were inadequately attended to, ¥ were legally prosesuted at the rate of only one or tWo a week.

Forsuch and other reasons the Christian gov- ernments desirous of holding commercial intercourse with Turkey concluded treaties by which they obtained for their subjects some assurance of personal safety, and to their consuls many rights and privileges, such as es- ternitoriality, inviolability of domicile, Judicial powers and other extensive prerogatives which they would not have considered just to demand for those residing in civg ilized and Christian countries; nor would they have been conceded if demanded The consuls of Christian States in Mohammedan eoun- ‘tries still retain unimpaired their primitive functions of municipal magistrates for their countrymen; their com- mercial or international capacity in these countries being but a very small part of their general capacity as the delegated administrative and judicial agents of thoir nations. By the treaties with Turkey the laws of the United States follow its citizen3,,and the Stars and Stripes protect them even within the wails of Constant!- mople, There is more than this yet to he anid. Stipula- tions have been made by all the Christian Powera with the Turkish government, and by it duly accepted and made fully effective by apposite regulations, which give the nght to a foreign congul’ residing in ports or Inland cities of the Turkish empire to keep in the employment of his consulate, for the necetsary discharge ot consular Guties, oieht Turkish subjecte—tour in the capacity of 4 manus and the other four as caves, @ Turkish subjects so employe: are entitled and re- ceived under the protection of the consuia'e, aad become thereby clothed for the time be!) i of the procecting consulat», cn} and privileges precizely as tf they the nation they serve, The porgona «od premises these privileged employéa are as much inviolable the consulate itself, and any civ!! or criminal offer committed by them as consular employ‘# ts exclusie taken cognizance of and punished hy tho consular courts, CANADA.
