A large and distinguished audi- ence was present, largely, as is usually the case on these occasions, composed of ladies, who filled boxes, parquet and dress circle, presenting a brilliant ap- pearance in the variety and mingling of the tints and colors which made up their several toilets, and were evidently much interested in what, when they did not understand, they the more admired. Theodore Thomas’ orchestra was in attendance, and relieved at intervals during the evening the dull entertainment of prayer and poetry—the latter answering to Mr. Silas Weggs’ nalysis—by choice selections, rendered tn their unexceptionable manner, from Rossini, M erbeer, Strauss, Flotow and Verdi. Pro- fessor Theodore W. Dwight, of Hamilton College, presided. The order of exercises com- menced with an overture from “William Teil” and a march from “Le Prophete,” after which the Kev.

Prot Dwight, for Prof. North, whose absence from the chair he regretted, read an address eulogistic of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity, its aims and objects, and then introduced r James C. Moffat, 1). D., as the post.ot the night. Professor Moffat explained that in col ence of the late notification he re- ceived of his election to that office he had not pre- red any original poem, and read short extracts om a scrap book. Mr. George William Curtis was then introduced to deliver the oration. The eloquent orator chose for his theme “Political Morality,” and eye upon the attention of the younger members of the fraternity some grave thoughts touching their duties as citizens. or political m: ity, he said, was not an abstraction or gtery, belng nothing diferent from private morality. ‘Nations were made up of men, and the same rule of morality should govern them. — Politics certainly is the science of expedients, and It is the duty every citizen to consider what it is | best to do under the stances, but it is never expedient to do what the morai sense condemns, It is never honest for a nation to go to war for annexa- tion or to ¢epudiate its debts.

The exercises concluded with a benediction and fraternity song, “Obaire Alpha Delta Phi,” in which the audience Joined. LECTURE OW NATURAL HISTORY. The eminent lecturer, Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins, delivered the fourth, the last of the season course of lectures to be given im this city, at the Cooper Institute, last evening, before large and appreciative audience. The gubh- Ject selected was, “The Monkey and Its Relations to Man ina Primitive State.” The lecturer referred to the deep interest that had been excited by the at- counts of some recent travellers and African ox- plorers with regard to the monkey, and the at but unfounded theory held and advanced by some uralists that this animal was the original stock from ‘hich the human family has } In his pre- a pe omical e: rs of the animal creation, in which or connection whatever, a not the pa that there was any ie oc erent ture of different anit by drainee ona bl eckboart em Of resemblance between them all from the to the inonkey.

ARTISTIC, {From the London Atheneum.) A correspondent writes from Naples, March 10:— “The suppression of the monasteries has led’ to the discovery of many precious works of art, Sixty- six monastic buildings and churches, for such te their number in Naples alone, could scarcely have been closed without bringing to light medieval treasures of some value, filling up many lacune in the history of pictorial art, and increasing the value of our already large collections. As a po- litical act I do not touch upon the sweeping meagure which has created s0 many enemies to the present government; it is in an artistic point of view that | regard it; and, day after day, we find tiiat one of the immediate consequences has been to save from de struction works of inestimable value. buried in the oblivion of a cloister, unappr dronlug monks, Who from their ignorance were in- capable of appreciating them, they will now be placed in our National Museum, and will serve to form and therte lated by raise the taste of @ people who have been degraded into a mere materiai existence. Signor Salazzaro, the able and energetic inspector of the Pinacotheca, is now engaged in compiling a catalogue of these treasures; but we wiil anticipate Lim, and deserthe some of the most precious objects which have very recently been brought to light. San Vietvo al Aric is the oidest church in Napies, the dy struction being fixed by our native an A, D.; but even they do pot assert ti of the original building remains. Leaving, eT the archwological Guession, here hag just bee found here a picture by Crivélli, on wood, represent- ing the Madonna on @ throne, uuder a smati temple. It is the bp Tews by this artist existing in Naples, and, in |, is one of the very few from his peucll which are known. to exist.

The figures are carved in bass-relief on Wood, not merely on each compartment, but on the calon- nette which divide them; and anything richer can searcely be imagined. There gre, perbaps, only two other Works of wood intaglio in Italy which can be compared to it, The first. ts that of the beautiful choir in the Cathedral of Sienna; the scoond is the cholr of San Severino Sosio, in Naples—three grand works which cannot be too much prize the choir of Sienna I may say, in presi, % presented to the monks by the Medici, after the capture of the city, in token of gratitude for assistance rendered. ‘the stlpo of 8. Agostino, which has hith- erto served a8 an armadio for pricsts’ garments, measures about fifty-four paling in length and tweive in width, It will shortly form one of tue most splen- did decorations of the mediwval room in the Museum, where the (wo wings will be placed back to back. In the centre of each wing will be let in a pane of plate glass, t: a3 to allow (ue olinary spectator to ex- amine the various objecis of value within; for the interior is tobe utilized forthe purposes of art, Here are to be placed works in ivory, candelabra, platte, swords, caliai, Watches, all connected with mediaval history, It is pglpful to think that this bea work was neatly lost to Naples and to Ttaly; and, had it not been for the manngement and perseverance of Signor Salazzaro, the are that the government would have made its posses- sion or alienation a question of pounds, shitiings and nce. A picture representing the saint on is knees and with clasped bands rai has just deen found in tae Church of Dani’ Antonio Abbate. Ttis on wood, and was painted by Coloncl Antonio del Fiore, the master of Zingaro, one of the earliest Neapviitan painters and contemporary withCimebue. It was illusirated by that voluminous writer on art, D'Agincourt. The church itself, which 13 to be taken down, is reputed to have been built by Constantine the Great—th: the first church om this site, for scarcely thing remains of the original except the framework of door. Havin, now completed my of severai objects of great artistic value, let me retarn to the old church of San lietro al Arane and descead to the de; beneath, Here were found an old Roman je and # culice, both of marble, which were used ly by the early Christians. More precious, however, than repre 5 else, at least ia monkiah eyes, is the tomb of Sauta Campeda. Near it is @ well of iresh water six feet deep; of most mir- aculous value, for have not all women of the neigh- borhood, aye—and from a distance too—sent the holy water of this well on the approach of chtld- birth? Let me conclude this letier by informing you.that many of the Neapolitan artists have been sending off their paintings to compete for the Grand national prizes Ww be awarded in Florence in Aprii. The first, of 10,000 re, will be given to the best his- torical painting; the second, of 6,000 tire, to the best \ historicat Pegere of a smaller’ size; the |, Of 4,000, for the best interior, Tue ee v4 are to re- main the provert, of the artisis. Amongst our ainters of distinction who compete may be named ancinelll, Who sends “A Miracie of 5. Francisco; Marineill, who sends “The Largo of 8. Lorenzo, a scene of the revolution of Massanielio;’” bi sends “A Lal pe,” and stavint, “Gidvannl de Procida in the moment of the Revoittion”—remark- able for its costumes; and an “fmterior of 5. Sev- erino.” Maldarell and Moreill, both Neapolitans, are two of the judges, "POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Philadelphia Post is informed that Chief Jas- tice Chase is in the constant receipt of letters offering him advice concerning his conduct in the impeach- ment trial. Mr. Chase does not coudescend to read any letters of the kind, but they are consigned to the waste paper basket the moment their chanacter is discovered. ‘ General Cary, of the Cincinnati district, an inde- pendent member of Congress, writes to a political friend:—I am fot to be drawn into a geheral defence of Andrew Johnson, nor will I for the sake of secur- ing the oficial patronage to the republican party at the next election take any violent measures to put Wade in the White House, When tte impeach- ment falicd before it was deemed desitable to get up @ case, and Stanton was selected as the agent to bring it about, he was induéed to remain in the War Department to bully the President and'get up a case for impeachment.
