te WASHINGTON. No Truth in the Rumors Regarding Cabinet Changes. EFFECT OF SENATOR SCHURZ’ SPEECH. Forthcoming Message of the Presi- dent in Aid of Commerce. Interesting Exposition of Mormonism by Rev. Dr. Newman. Appointments Confirmed by the Senate. * Wasiincton, Dec. 15, 1870. Fhe Ramored Changes in the Cabinet Denied. It 1s positevely said at the Executive Mansion there is no truth whatever in the rumors of Secre- tary Boutweil’s resignation, and it is also asserted that his relations with the President are, as hereto- Tore, of a fetendiy character, both in their personal and oficial ‘relations, As to ons of the reasons for ‘the alleged disagreement between them—namely, the nomination of General Picasonton as Commis sioner of Internal Revenuc—it is further said that tere was xo dissent from any one in the Cabinet on ‘that subject. Senator Schurz’s Speech on Amnesty Missouri Poiitics. ‘The sensation m the Senate to-day was the speech of Senater Schurz in support of his Amnesty reso- dution. There was a large number of spectators in the galleries, and the sofas on the floor of the Sen- fate chamber were well fliled with members of the Jower house. It was expected that Schurz would be quite severe upon the President, as well as upon the members of the republican party In Mis- sourl who opposed the Gratz Brown ticket In the late canvass, His references to the President personally, however, were rather dignified than otherwise. The effect of the speech was not Bo good as it would have been had the Senator de- luvered it without the manuscript before him Senurz ‘aso good an impromptu speaker that everybody ‘Was surprised when he opened his portfolio with his speech caretully written, The general opinion on both sides of the Senate ts that the speech was very able, ana that it will make more or tess Impression. upon the pubite sentiment of the country. There was some amusement created by that partof it wherein Scharz undertook to ex- pose what he.called “the wire-pulling tactics of the Missouri radicals.” Senator Drake has the floor for to-merrow, and it is sald his reply will be very bitter. Tue Pre.ideat’s Interest in the Revival of Commerce. Mr. John Roach, of New York, who has taken cousiderabie interest in the revival of American commerce, had a long interview with the President yesterday. The President sent for Mr. Roach for the purpose of learning his views on the subject. ‘The President will send to Congress a special mes- sage recommending action at the present session to ‘eid in reviving tie shipping interests of the country. ‘the Many Wives of Utah, A lecture on Mormonism, entitied as above, was @elivercd this evening in Lincoln Hall, by Rev. J. P. Newmaa, D.D., Chaplain of the United States Senate, who last summer drew his two-edged Sword from its Old Testament scabbard and jour- neyed to the City of the Saints, where he put Brig- ham Young to fight, and slew in argument Apostie Pratt, ms polygamie representative. The lecture ‘Was a thorough discussion of the Mormon ques- tion in its social, civil and religious bear- ings, showing the contradicuons and absur- aiies on wWuich it rested, its anomalous, humorous and sorrowful aspects, full of fact and tastratton, and abounding with telling hits and pungent allusions. Dr. Newman began by taking up the Mormon Bible, Without discussing its merits or demerits as a revelation, he adduced from its pages the condemnation of polygamy. He then passed to tbe pretended revelation of poly- gamy, and put the wpnroval of the latter by the disapproval of the former. He reat the denial of polygamy published by Joseph Smith, whensone of ‘Ane elders of the Mormon Church had been pr ng that doctrine, and atso rend the déhal of Parley P. Pratt, im 1845, Against these several deniais was the testimony of Young to the fact that Smith received revelation in 184. If Smith told the trath then Brigham did not. If smith id not receive the revelation tuen Briguam’s reve- Jation was an imposture. I uth practised poly- gamy without a revelation then he was guilty of a Violation of the seventh commandment, If he had a@revelation and denied it, then, to use a Scriptural Phrase, “He was # liar and the truth was not in him.” He showed the predicament in which Mt placed the Almighty, who 1s represented as denouncing polygamy in 1830 and justifymg it in 1843. Dr. Newman then took up the position and relaions of woman to the system, explaining the Mormoa ideas of temporal and ete rnal wives and their doctrine of substitution, which allows the wives@! an absent missionary wo take a hus- band by proxy. He dwelt particularly on the do- mestic reigtiéns of the great prophet himself, and went through Brigham’s whole harem and brougtt each pf nis thirty wives ,Bpon the stage. He showed the salvatory -®conomy of the Mormon system, and that grace and glory in the next world depend on the size of a man’s family. me explained the remarkable and Angenious previg'ous of Mormon faith, which makes salvation retrgactive through baptism and marriage Jor the dead. Tke speaker graphically related the ppractical workings of the system, giving Miustra- ions of the acqmiescent, the stoical and the terma- gant women that are fonnd iu Un, He ex- posed the pretensions of Brigham Young as @® seer and revelator and his ignominious failure aga prophet. Brigham siedesootiiel before Lee's surrender that the war would iast four years Jonger; but Generai.Grant saw fit te bring it to a close sooner, Brigham prophesied in 1857 that he Would be Paesident iv twelve years, Bis expecta- ‘ons had fgiled him «o far; and as for 1872, Dr. Newman aid not know who the democrats would choose then, »ut he was certain ihe republicaus had made their choice. (Applause.) He described and denounced Brigham’s despotism and the system which he controjled, and concluded in an eloquent peroration, declaring that euch a man as Young Joust and sould be put down, and that Mormon- asm 28 a despotism must cease under the flag o!,our country. {twas the disgrace of a past administra. tion that the evil was allowed to go un punised. at will be the glory of thie administration Jf the iniquity is removed from the face of the earth. This sentiment was greeted with loud applause. The audience was frequently ex- celted to laughter at the doctor’s pointed wit, which changed to sadness when he depicted the crying evils of the system, and found a-veut in applause swhen he predicted its end. ‘ Monvi-tion of Edwius, Charged with Embez- glement=Ruliag of Jndge Certter. mm tue case of CO. . Edwins, indicted for the embezziement of $8,590 from tue redemption divi- sion of the Vnitet States Treasury in September last, the jury to-@ay rendered a verdict of guilty, witn a recommendation tothe merey of the Court. The counsel gave notice of a motion fora new trial, In answering the prayer of tne counsel to instruct the Jory thet the act under which the indietment had been found had been repealed, Chief Justice Cartier waid:— i To infer that Congress intended to repeal the} act would be to uccuse tem of purposely breaking dewn tke penal barriers to the commission of crime = isbed by the act, and committing over three jundred million of dodlars of the pubic treasnre an- nally the bands of its financlal agents un- fe of punishment.

Brgoe the qnesslen of repeal ot Jeneth when the 4 ese comes up beforo “ve court in January next. The decision of Justice Cartver created some sur: prise among the members of the bar, from the fact that the question raised was not what was intended by the passage of the act revising the Patent laws, but what had been actually done according to the expressed terms of the repealing clause, ‘The Telegraph Cable Bill, St. Domingo, the Alabama Claims and the New Domt ‘The House Committee on Foreign Affairs had be- fore them to-day Mr. Woods General Telegraph Cable bill, which they ate now nearly ready to report. They also discussed, without coming to ny conclusion, the St. Domimgo resolution of General Banks, and those portions of the Preaident’s Message relating to the Alabama ciaims and =o ours relations = with. the Dominion of Canada, At the next meeting of the committee it 1s understood that the St. Do- qmingo resolution will come up for special considera- tion, The Senate Committee on Commerce agreed to-day to report Senator Chandlet’s reselution au- thorizing the President, when in his judgment the public interests require it, to suspend all laws of trade and commerce with the Dominion of Canada. Fred Douglass ond the Colored People’s Organ. The National Era, started in this city several years since as the organ of the colored people of the country, has again changed hands, and Frederick Douglass, who has been editing it for some months past, announces in the issue of the paper to-Gay that he will hereafter be its editor and pubilsher, New Revenue Cutters. Secretary Boutwell has recommended to Congress an appropriation of $800,000 for the building of new vessels for the revenue marine service, The amount was appropriated two years ago, but some delay was occasioned in receiving proposals, necessitating @ postponement of the contracts until some future time. Under the act passed at the last session of Congress that amount was conveyed into the Trea- sury a8an unexpended balance, requiring & new appropriation if the work isto be done. The reve- nue marine service requires an increase of cutters, and the recommendation of Secretary Boutwell will probably be favorably considered. The Postal Telexraph System. The Select Committee on the Postal Telegraph held @ meeting to-aay for the purpose of hearing an ar- gument from Mr. «ubbard, of Boston, invreply to the speech of General Washburn in favor of the Postal Telegraph bill. Mr: Hubbard has a scheme of his own, which 1s for the government to build an opposition line to that of the Western Union Com- pany. He travelled over the same ground to-day that he did last winter, making the same points and coming to the same conclusion, namely—that all other schemes besides his own are unwise and im- practicable. Mr. Washburn, the chairman of the committee, will probably make a reply to Mr. Hub- bard. Mastering Out of Army Offrers. The Senate Committee on Military Affairs held a meeting to-day, and agreed to reporta bill extend- ing the time for the mustering out of the army off- cers, provided for in the pill'which passed last ses- sion, from January, when it was to take effect, until next July. ‘The bill was afterwaras reported to the Senate. They also agreed to a bill providing for the payment of the interest on the money advanced by the States to the general government during the re- bellion. The Revenue Laws Relating to Sugar. There were fifteen or twenty persons before the Committee on Ways and Means to-day, and who are engaged as imporcers, dealers and refinersof sugar. Their object was to procure a modification of the present revenue laws relating to sugar. New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore were repre- sented, and the Hen, L. A. Sheldon, of Louisiana, &@ member of the House, was present in the interest of the sugar planters of the South. Secretary Boutwell was also in the committee room and took part in the proceedings, which occupied at least two hours, ‘The result of the deliberations was that the committee agreed upon and subsequently reported to the House a bill, which comes up for consideration to-morrow, strik- ing out from the provisions of the present law the woras) ‘raw’? and “muscovado” wherever they occur, so far as the grades are below thiteen, Dutch standard. The effect of this will be that all sugars will now be classified by colors alone. It appears that sugars which are Muscovado, and therefore below the grade thirteen, have been imparted in considerable quantities, when their real grade, judging from color, should be about thirteen, Muscovado sugar, above thirteen in color, will, under the contemplated change, pay one-half of one per cent duty more than under the law as it now exists, thereby benefiting the Louisi- ana interests, Accident to Colonel Robert Douglas. Late last night Colonel Robert Douglas, private secretary to President Grant, was severely injured by being thrown from a hack, Mrs. Cutts, his grandmother, and another lady also sustained severe injuries. They were returning from the Charity Fair and the horses were frightened by the vehicle coming in contact with the step of another car- nage. Nominations Sent to the Senate.

Baw of the Ladiew Aid Society at Del- monico’s. The Arst annnal bail of the Ladies’ Aid Sobiety of tre Havnemann Hospital took place last evening, at Delmonteo’s, This bali was got up by some infu- ential ladies who have the cause of hommopathic scienee at heart. The Legisiature has granted $20,000, on condition that those who are interested in the establishment of the hospital will raise an egual sum teward this object. ‘Tne ball was opened by Richard B. Connolly, the pretty Comptralier, and his lady. There were many Other brillant Lights, too nuierons to mention, who added to the lusteé of the;gay seene. Altogether the ball may be regarded a3 @ success, and com prised some of the mest fashionable men and women of the metropolis, our hundred tickets were sold, and the proceedg .of the ball amount to about $8,000 ileuae cel A PAID FIRE DEPARTMEAT IN PiiLADELPHIA.

WARDS OF THE NATION, Opeving of the Fair for the Union Home and School for Soldiers’ aud Sailor” Orphans— Addresses of General McClellan, W. MM. Evarts and Dr. Bellows. ‘That the splendid exhibition opened last evening at the armory of the Seventy-first regiment will be marked by success—that the poor orphans of the fallen heroes who helped to save the Union will be heartily recognized .as worthy creditors of the Mation—there can be but little doubt, A more meritorious object could not enlist the sympathy of the benevolent, while a grateful peo- ple will rejoice im the opportunity of showing their patriotism in a manner most glorious and substan- ual. The fair, held under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic, in aid of the “Union Home and School for Soldiers’ and Sailors’ orphans’’ promises to be one of the most interesting of the many that have recently been inaugurated. With a collection of valuabie articles such as are rafely presented for sale, auction or lottery, and having A MOST COMMENDABLE AIM, there can be no hesitation in predicting for the ex- hibition a triumph that will perhaps surpass the most sanguine expectations of its charitable pro- moters, It is to enlarge the dimensions of the noble institution, since the demand upon its resources has of late increased, that the fair has been neld, The scene last evening was exceedingly entertaining, for, although the arrangements were not altogether completed, the cheerfuiness, beauty, elegance and bright surroundings which characterized the exni- bition were most gratifying. GAY AND TASTEFUL decorations, neat and tempting tables, a beautiful floral temple, attended by Lhe most fascinating dam- sels, bewitching loveliness at every turn, a splendid collection of paintings and @ multitudinous variety Of charming attractions soon captivate the visitor. At eight o’clock the exhibition was fairly under way, and was inaugurated under circumstances the most auspicious. All the spacious rooms of the armory were thrown open and the music of the band from Governor’s Island sounded merrily through the building. A guard of honor, consist- ing of Company K, of the Seventy-first, was in attendance, and as GENERAL MCLELLAN ENTERED the fair he was greeted wivn enthusiastic cheers. Genera J. P. Robinson presided at the formal opening, and in the vicinity of the chair were Wiliam M. Evarts, Judge G. P. Daly and several distinguished military men. General Robinson briefly set iorth the objects of the institution in Whose behalf the fair was held. He alluded to the rebellion and feelingly advertea to the poor orpuans whose Jathers had sacri- ficed their lives to defend the Umoa, Referring to the association known as the Gran Army of the Republic, he said it was estabiis! purely from benevolent motives, aside from tts party considerations, Its three principal objects were fraternity, charity and ioyalty. In fine, he was con- fident that the fuirs gotten up under 118 auspices by numerous noble-minded ladies would be crowned with success, GENERAL M’CLELLAN’S SPEECH. GEORGE B. MCULELLAN, on being introduced, was weicomed wilh earnest to- kens of approbation, He said:—The duty [ am called upon to-mght to periorm is one where the mere words and “lowers of rhetoric would be entirely wasted and out of place. For this reason A have cheerfully undertaken a task I should nave declined, and one which would require the services Of @ Skillul advocate and accomplished orator to present. Fortunaiely for me it needs neither. The suject I have to jay before you can safely be left to stand upon its own merits, and wust commend itself toall. Itis simply to present here to-night, under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Kepublic, to THIS MOST LIBERAL OF COMMUNITIES, the most deserving of all charitable undertakings— not a charity but a sacred duty. (Applause.) It has been sald, by way ol sarcasm, that Americans were unduly devoted to the almighty dollar, Whether Americans, as a race, merited such criticism I do not know, I do not believe they ever did, I do know that we do not deserve it how. (Applause.) ‘Be that as it may, 11s certain that no worthy object of charity was ever presented in vain to the inhabi- tants of this metropolis of the land and the people of America, It is, therelore, with the most perfe confidence in the result that I preceed in the brietest terms to lay our cause belore you. No one here pre- sent needs to be reminded tuat almost ten years ago We were awakened trom OUR PEACEFUL PURSUITS by the dire alarm ol! war, andof ali wars the most horrible—a civil war. How that war was waged and how 1t terminated I will not pause toreiate. “I neva only say, With the vast majority of the men who took Parton our side to preserve the honor of the na onal flag and to preserve inviolate the gayexnment OF the coultry, lat, thanks to 4p overruling Providence and the valor of our soldiers, we emerged from that struggle without a star or sirme erased from the flag of our goveru- ment, now extended over the Union. (Applause.) will not say at what a cost of the brave men’s blood the great evcnts were achicved, Those who took no part in this strugzie weil remember the BANDS OF PATRIOTIC CITIZENS, soon converted into the best of soldiers, who took their lives intheir hands and went forth amid your plaudita to fight the battles of the Union.” All those around me, who looked 80 often at death on the battle fleld, weil remember the enthusiasm which marked the struggle. It is not necessary to' recall the stirring scenes to them, Tue sad pictures of the ficld, so dismal atter the din of battle had ceased, and*the gloomy hospitals— those scenes can never be obliterated from the memories of those who witnessed them. Among those men, 80 brave, so fuil of life and hope, whom you saw marching to the front, some were stricken down by death and others were rendered powerless for the rematnder of the battle of a weary life, Many left cheerful homes and wives and children. Ivis for those chiléren I now speak to you. My friends, you have ACTED WITH THE UTMOST LIBERALITY in extending aid to those men who have sutfered by the war now desolating the fair land of France, It 18 well to succor the afflicted of foreign lands, It is weil to honor the memory of our own dead soldiers. It 1s well to erect costly monuments to perpetuate their fame and deeds. But these little children in whose behalf I now address you—these orphans of our own land, leit to our care by the slain heroes— is it not better fo succor them? Is it not the most sacred of our national duties? When their fathers went forth to fight for you wouid you not willingly have promised to take & part in protecting and educating their childreny It is this we ask you to do. We ask you to aid all those noble ladies who have undertaken the great responsibility of the Union Home, We ask it with the firm conviction that you will respond so generously to the appeal that other communities will be COMPELLED TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE throughout the broad land, from the great lakes to the sandy shores of the rock-bound coast of the Pa- cific. Ample provision will be made for those destl- tute widows and orphans left us by the war, which we fondly tw ill be the last that will ever be waged in our ind. (Loud applause.) General IAM M. EVARTS was next int bed, and in the course of an inter- esting address said he could well understand why the’ distinguished soldicr and a most prominent actor in the scenes of the great war shouid have been culled upon to open a cause so noble und so in- teresting. He commanied that ATTENTION WHICH BELONGS TO HIS STATION and his character. And he could also understand why the eloquent clergymau who was to follow him should be asked to take a part in these proceedings, because of the great and nobie share he took in the charity of the war as the head and leader oi the Sanitary Commission. Mr. Evaris then dilated at some length on the great objects of the institution, aud the debt of gratitude the nation was under to the heroes who sacrificed their lives in defence of the Union. He ‘was confident that the fair would be accorded that great success which it deserved. It was argued by some that such charities should be left to the State. He did not believe that, but considered that they should be encrusted te the care o! the people. He submitted that SUCH CHARITIES SHOULD BE SUPPoRTED from the bosom of the same volunteer patriotism that sent the volunteers to the field. He then al- luded to the elements which should characterize the success of the fair, and predicted tor 1t a bril- liant triumph. THE REV. DR. BELLOWS then delivered an address, in the course of which he strongly eulogised the object of the exhibition and paid a high comptiment to the kind and gen- ercus Jeelings which marked the actions of General McClellan in reference to the Sanitary Commission and the CORDIAL SYMPATHY AND SUPPORT he had extended to it. He pointed our tne great necessity of supporting the institution, and observed that the people were bound in gratitude to support the children of those who had been slain on the battle field while defending their country. The reverend gentleman was frequently applauded. ‘The business of the fair was then commenced, and successfully carried on till alate hour. Last nighv’s opening augurs a brilliant scccess. THE HEBREW FAIR, The Crowd Last Evening—Some of the Big Prizes to be “Knocked Down” To-Night. The Hebrew Fair rooms, in Fourteenti street, were crowded last night as they were never crowded before since it was opened. In fact, it was almost an impossibility for a lady who had any regard whatever for theentirety of her fashionable “get- np”? ta make her way from one table to another with- out running the risk of being unmercifulily divided into infinitessimal pieces.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH FAIR. * A indy’s fair for the benefit of St, Mary’s church, in Grand street, 1s now in progress in the basement ofthe church. Handsome ladies, lively music, val- uable and useful articles, plenty of fun and oppor- tunities to assist ni gaed work are the inducements presented, ‘They have so fur been very successful, and as the fair 18 to continue during this and the next week, the ‘aid’? acquired for the church will, no doubt, be quite ‘material’? LECiURES LAST NIGHT. “SCIENTIFIC TRIUMPHS.”” Lecture Lust Evening by Professor Doremus, at Associntion Hall—A Brilliant and In- terested Audience, Last evening Professor Doremus delivered the third of his course of lectures, on “Scientific Triamphs,” before the Young Men’s Christian Association, at their hall, at the corner of Fourth avenue and Twen- ty-fourth street, These lectures are already proved to be an immense success, and no doubt popular scientific discourses will become as fashionable an entertainment in New York as the luctd eloquence and striking experiments of Faraday made them in London. Last night the audience was even larger than at the previous lectures; indeed, scarcely standing room was left. All through the evening, thanks to the fascinating manner in which the Professor explained and iilustrated his theme, the interest of his hearers never flagged, while at times there was an outburst of genuine and hearty enthusiasm. Nor was the lecture unmarked with several amusing episodes. In several of the ex- periments chlorine was employed, and as its fumes swept through the hall, there was an epidemic out- break of subdued coughivg, which provoked consid- erabte merriment, Aiter recapitulating the various principles in re- gard to the conibination of the elements explained in bis last lecture, the Professor said the metals were rarely found 1n a native state; they had “loves”? or affinities with many other substances, As an ilustration, he would cite gold, silver and tron, which were scarcely ever found pure, When iron ores were mingled with carbon) and bine @ furnace, and @ blast of pure ‘air applied below, the tron associated with a little carbon, aud ran ont in a stream resembling somewhat a sow, and consequently known as pig iron. No one subject now commanded more atten- tion from chemtsts than the production and manu- facture of iron, An analysis of the crust of the earth showed how largely oxygen had entered into its combination, Chemists announced that the basis of clay was a beautiful white metal, cailed alum. inum. The Prefessor then showed how a sight difference in the proportions in which other ele- ments were mingled with alumina resulved in the numerous forms of Clay, some of whick were suited tor the manufacture or the most beautiful kinds of porcelain, while others were used for making coarse tiles and pottery of ali Kinds. In the bible 1t was stated that men were made of clay; but it might be said in passing that the meta! which formed the basis of that substance was almost the only one not found by chemists in the human irame, Doubiless the biblical reading ought to be earth, The Professor next again returned to the dis- coveries brought to light by spectrum analysis. By this means several new metals had already been discovered, Then, a8 another proof of its value, it might be stated that meiallic poisons could now be detected with sufficient precision for the purposes of a court of justice. Only afew years ago he had ob- tained proof of the presence of arsenic in a body after it had been interred twelve months. ‘These modern refinements were due mainly to the spec- troscope. Sulphur in a pure and crystallised state was found at the mouth of volcanoes, and also in combination with many metals. It was very use(ul, especially as from it was manufactured sulphuric acid, or the king of acids. The mode of manu- facturing this acid was then illustrated, Oil of vitriol applied to common fait resulted in byarochioric acid, with a residue of soda SO Impertane wae outpnut Unety when sine whe obtained {t from volcanves endeavored to get a higher price for their wares, no less than filleen new atents for its manufacture were taken out. From hydrochloric acid we get cblorine, which Mf mingled with coloring matter, like indigo and lime, had the power of removing the color. This discovery was one of the most important ever discovered, Chlorine was also the most powerful disinfect- ant known. A few yei ago ® cabin in one of the Cunard steamers, which had been smallpox, had been effectually wonderful gas. lt was t nearly all the caustic soda now used in this country was imported, @ fact which showed the necessity, among other things, of providing higher means of scientific edu- cation among us. Sulphur also combined with india rubber and formed a singularly beautiful substance, out of which the well known india rubber trotting wagon was made. He believed this sub- stance would at no disiant date be employed more generally than at present, ‘the Professor then alluded to Mons. ‘Tessiers’ method of obtaining oxygen gas—a method involving scarcely any ex- pense. This was o! the last unportance, as oxygen was the essential element of heat and ilfe, He then referred wo the production of phosphorous, which was now procured from ‘bones. Compounds of phar eiavans were especially important to the juman system, a3 they seemed essential to tnteliec- tual effort. Butter, among other articles, contained @ palpable quantity of this important substance. Probably the Sun produced its heat by chemical combustion, Some physicists maintained that a slight condensation of its surface would enable it to maintain this heat-giving power for thousands and miilions of years, and others believed that the loss it thus sustamed was made up by the occasional at- traction of foreign bodies. Attempts have been made to find out the quantity of heat thrown out b. the Sun, and it had been calculated that our Eart absorbed only three hundred thousand millionth part of the total amount. As our Earth is but a rusted mass of molten meta!, so, perhaps, is the Sun undergoing the same process from which the Earth had emerged, But the Sun was not the only source of the heat absorbed by our Earth. Twelve millions of suns were constantly di(fusing light upon its sur- face. Then we had internal sources of heat, such as volcanoes; and artificial heat, suchas that caused by all movement or by chemical action—tne latter source being, perhaps, the more important of the two. infected with Professor Doremus closed by some Interesting ex- periments in regard to light. FACTS ABOUT THE MIND. Lecture by Rev. Dr. Duryea. Dr. Duryea delivered the second of his course of lectures oh mental science before the Brooklyn Young Men’s Christian Association last night. He began by referring to the war that has been carried on during the last eentury between the forces within man and without, or the sub- jective and objective philosephers, and showed that the materialist cannot stop short of Pantheism, and that the opposite doctrine leads to idealism. After showing that there would be no smell if there were no nose and no sound if there were no ear, and that all objects which deluded man fondly supposes he beholds are ‘all in his eye.’ The lecturer proceeded to get his audi- ence out ef the fog in which for the sake of argu- ment he had enveloped them, The clearing up pro- cess was very bom pein” to the large audience, who were, no doubt, gratified to find that they were real persons in a real world, after seeing themselves and their surroundings changed by incontrovertible Pattee into thin air.

H, Pine, Greenpoint, for Messrs, George and Louis Loril- lard, are progressing finely towards completion. The keel bont tor the former, should nothing occur meanwhile, will be launched on Monday next, and the work of finishing her internally and externally prosecuted with such vigor that it will not be many weeks before she is r¢ady for sea, when her owner, it ix believed, will leave this port tor an extended cruise in the Caribbean sea and subsequently up the Mediter- ranean. This yacht, as also the cextreboard schooner, was modelled by Mr Robert Fish, who expects great results from them in the way of stability sufficient to encounter allkinds of weather and great speed. . Sho is 109 feet long ‘on the water line, 24 feet beam, 12 feet 6 inches depth of hold and of about 250 tone burden. Her foremast is &8 feet inJength; mainmast, 86 feet; foretopmast, 43 feet ; maintop- mast, 46 fect; main boom, 70 feet. ‘The centreboard yacht for Mr Louis Lorillard was not commenced until {some six weeks later than his brother’s, and therefore is not so far advanced; but her planking is nearly completed and in every particular there is observed a dispo- sition of her builder to soon have her ready for launching. ‘This boat {100 feet long onthe water line, 23 fect beam, 7 feet 8 inches depth of hold and will be of about 200 tons burden. In several respects the models of these yachts are very peculiar, but {t 18 claimed that the innovations are based upon well-known naval architectural laws, and suc- cess will be result of the efforts, It is certain, however, that their construction has demonstrated the progreasive spirit of American yachtmen, and it is to be hoped that all the anticl- pations of those interested—owners, builder and modeller— will be fully realized. Like remarks will fitly apply to the schooner yacht now being built at the shipyard of the Mesars. Poillion for Capt Samuels, She is progressing very favorably, and will pro- bably be launched about the last of February. This yacht measures 108 feet on the water line, 24 feet breadth of beam, 11 feet depth of hold, and will be about 245 tons burden. ‘The materials used in the construction of the three yachts are first class in every particular, and the intended manner of their cabin decorations will be ofthat character as to place them prominently among the most elegant of the many vessels in the pleasure navy of the New York Yacht Club, Work has been commenced on the hulls and engines of the fron boats intended for the Union Ferry Company, to be ran on the Fulton ferry. The Continental Works of Greenpoint will build the hulls, while the Quintard Works of this city will construct the engines, the castings for which are now being made. The engines will be of the inclined description, with cylinders 40 inches in diameter by 10 feet stroke of pis- ton, Six months will bo required to complete these boats, Since last repoit there have arrived from points on the Hudson and Western canals the following barges and canal donts:—Bytowboat Syracuse—Barges F Juy,A 8 Perry; canal boats A Simisky, Col Ellwood, Gen Siegel, Gea Taylor, Allie.
