tST Remember the Meeting tor the FamishingPeople of Ireland at Tammany HaJI to night.It is a City Meeting7, without distinction of rrced
er party and if anything shall be said or done cal¬
culated to offend any person who may attend, the
circn.nstance will be regretted by none more heart¬
ily than those who have issued the call. For once,
an opportunity is proffered to all to evince prac.iically their sympathy lor au unfortunate and suf¬fering People What generous heait will refuse
to respond to the appeal1Tiie War »villi .Mexico.
That the accounts which have reached us of the
anarchy and helplessness ol Mexico linvc beenrgrosslv exaggerated.that Santa Anna has collectcii a numerous, determined and tolerably w ell
provided army at Sun Luis Potosi. oml will maken desperate standJthere ii assailed.ami that (Jen
Tavlc foresees great difficulty and peril in the at¬
tempt to prosecute his march to the Capita! from
.Monterey and Saltillo by way ol Pan Luis afore-
laid.so much may he considered settled by the
recent advices. That Gen. T. has positively desiatcd from and abandoned the idea of advancing far¬ther on his present line of invasion, because of thescarcity of water, the difficulties of the route, amithe imposing stand of the Mexicans, is ot b ast a
matter ol inference, since he is not the man to proclaim it if such were the fact We infer, however,from the unusual and feverish activity now char¬
acterizing the movements of the Wor Departmenttiud the pr»mptneo with which troops and Appliesare dispatched to the <!u!f. that it is understood at
Washington thai our troops have hard ugutinginprospect, ami tlint the Wor is not u holiday exoreise, to be setileii by merely breaking an Armisticeand orderinsi an advance to 'the Halls of the Mon-tezumns We apprehend that the victors rit Mon

obviously intent on assembling in Mexico an armyof Twenty to Thirty Thousniid effectives, lliirwhich not less than Forty Thousand must be mut¬
tered into sen ice hoping Co crash Santa Anna andMexico by one powerful, well directed blow. Such,as we understand it. is the meaning ol recentmovements on all sides.Now to concentrate Thirty Thousand, or even
Twenty Thousand, fighting men a( any point as furWest as Monterey or Tampico, provided with themeans of advancing to Pan Luis Potosi and thereattui'k.m- ti-.iiitu Anna, is ait undertaking tor whichmillions of money will be required, and Congressmust speedily authorize new Loans and extraor
dinary disbursements. To say nothing of the ine¬vitably great and deplorable loss of life, it will cost
not less than'Five Millions of Dollars tu follow SantaAnna to his present stronghold and successfully at¬
tack him there. And for what shail this heavy ad¬dition to our National Debt be incurred I This isthe question which it seems to us Congress shouldask and the President answer..
To say tlint we are willing to make Peace on fairterms, Ac. is to soy nothing intelligible; no con¬
queror ever hesitated to say tbat. To talk ol our
moderation and in the same breath suggest that weexpect Mexico to pay our expetises in the War.either in money (which is impossible] or in territory at our appraisal, is considerably worse thannothing We insist that it is pressingiy incumbenton ourJExecutive, before he says the word whichwill consign tbonanudsto a bloody death and thousands more to life-long ntuniish and helplessness,tostate distinctly irhathr means by favorable terms,and precisely what the terms are on which he willforego farther subjugation and carnage- Is thisasking too much? The Country must furnish themen and means; the People must give and takethe blows why should they not be allowed toknow for what they are to licht ? The President hasgiven his own account at great length of what hehas done and why j is it not reasonable tbat heshould now tell us just what he means to do, Riid forwhat reasons1 Why should not both Countries andthe World know for what we are contending andhow much will satisfy us! Perhaps we need not
tight more if we only say suceintly how we willsettle without lighting; perhaps neither Countrywould wish to fight if it knew on what terms theWar could be ended It does seem to us that Congress, before appropriating another dollar, shouldinsist on knowing with what views, to what ends.the War is to be prosecuted Why ahould the Kxecuhve hesitate to tell
BF* Gen. Erasti s Root, who died m our City.n Thursday morniug in his 7 4th year, has playedan important part in the political history of our
State. Born in Hebron. Conn, in 1T7S, he graduated at Dartmouth College. N. H. and devoted some
time to school-te-aehing, but str.died law and settied at Delhi, then in Otaego, now the capital otDelaware County lu 1798, he was elected to theAssembly of this State, to which he was repeated¬ly reflected. He was in politics an ardent discipleof George Clinton, and united in the choice of Jet-feragut Electors of President in 1S0O. In ISiM hewas elected to CoJkgresa from his District, and re-
elected in lSOt», Iii. 15 and '31. serving nine yearsiaall. In 1SÄ. he waa chosen Lieut. Governor,but. becoming deeply involved in Mr Van Büren s
struggle to carry the Electoral Vote of New Yorkfor Crawford in IS"-M, he was terribly kbeaten byQen. Tallmadge in the excited canvass ol" that year,when he was proposed for reflection. He was
never afterward a candidate before the People ofthe whole State.Gen. R. vfaa in Cougresg when the first I'nited
States Bank was refused a tveharter. (IStl;) aad.though a vehement . Republican.' was not heartilvsatisfied with the couree of the majority of his t>artyon that question Being in Congress m ifgj^ wheuMr. Madison and the RepubhVans' undertook torebuild the tabnc they had so recently torn down,be concurred heartily in the purpose. but. the billbeing so drawn that half the capital might be naidup tn Government Stocks or Debts, (then ccmaider-ably below par.) he rti'used to support it. deemingthat an unsound basis for Bauking. The billpassed, however, and no practical evil resultedfrom the provision he so strongly deprecated. In
IS32,when this Bank was before Congress for a«»charter. Gen. R. was again a Member, and forthe third time waa ecustrained to oppose his party,being now more convinced than ever of the consti-Hitiouality and e*ngsii«6cy pf a Xttiofill StV&
He sustained the Rerharter rtronjly disapprove ithe Veto and the iubf.eqc.ent Rcmovci ot the De-
poaitea, and ceaaed to act with the party who justi¬fied them. This threw hiiu out of public life untillc3'.\ when he was elected to the Senate hy the
Whigs of the Third District, Laving uhk majority ia
a poll of some 50,000 votes. Two others were
elected at the iuse time, but he drew for the long¬
est term of four years, which he served out and hasnot since been in public life But he cherished an
active and ardent interest in public affairs to the
last, and has been one of the most protcar.ent and
decided champions of the . Anti-Rent canse. We
met him last at Utica, at the Whig State Conven-tian last September, which he attended to arge the
nomination of Hon. Ira Harris for Governor. He
seemed a* vigorous in mind aad body and as likelyto last as at any time since ;-4G..His death was
very sudden, produced by an inflammation of the
kidneys, with which he was seized while or. his
way to visit the family of his son-in-law at Wash
ington City.Gen. Rod was a remarkable maa.tail and
stout, with srreat physical power and energy.astanch triend and a good Later.a ready and effect-ive d<-bat*r.well informed confident in his own
opinions, trank, zealoos'and reliable. Though an
ardent and prominent politician for half a century,he was never an intriguer, and we think u9 man
ever accused bin of a mean art. He leaves behind
but few who were politicians when he csme on
the stage of public life j and if he had somewhatoutbved his influence, he had also outlived the en¬
mities which Power always incurs. Peace to his
memory ! ¦_

You, Madam, who talk so flippantly of the follyor false pride of our girls, have you ever attemptedto put yourself in their place and consider the mat jter ! Have you ever weighed in the balance s

BUbop Hughe*, cad the Orphan Society.a Sermon was dei.ered yeateriay Chris!nisi
lay by Right Re- Bisho? Ho.we* to the Rorr.aa
Catholic Ch-ircb. Mulberry-st. tor the benefit of the
Orphan Society. The tez: was taken from the 1st jchapter of 5t~ John, who in the year W.5 wrote
tbia gospel to confute those heretic* who denied the
divinity "of Christ, from their isai-ility to cstcpr*h«:ithe coodn*s* of God in seeding His owe beloved Son,
ecpt&l to UtnseJf m every respect, to redeem mankind
and restore him to Hi* favor and mercy, which he had
originally lost by hts.firat disobedience. Tins day is the
commemoration of the grand and rub'rime mystery of
the Incarnation that had been revesdad to the humble
snepherds and the jenes of the gorgeous East.a mys¬
tery which had filled the breasts of the Prophets aad Pa¬
triarchs of old with joy. It U the famTmwit cf God's
promise to Ev*. It is by the Incarnation of His Son that
God hasconferred a dignity on human nature by teachingmankind lo lock up to Him from the trameis of wer i: v Bfe
as hj only rood, it i* God s promise of merry to nan
consummated, that mercy that iafir.ite Justice had so
lone w.thh'-'d nil his fuU pzaishme r.t bad been meted
to him. Man felt the evil ejects of his fall in the first
fratricid». and earth drank, the blood of the h.-st mur
der. He relapsed into idoisrry and other ar^rainaaon*.,
yet, nrtwrhstanding the depths of sir. and wickedness
into which he had fallen, be still carried the remembranceof a sacrifice cr ator.err.ent to appease Infinite Juncce.
The premise of man s redemption was transmitted
through the Patriarchs. This w»j man's only hope.thepromise of God to send a Redeemer who weald rwlcase jhim trorn the bonds of sin. The mystery of the birth of
Christ is a scandal to the heretic. It was in the form of
man that Christ came to redeem man. This was above
the heretic's comprehension and narrow understanding.Be acted in accordance with his own comprehension mopposing this grand truth. It was as if two insects en¬
dowed with the power of speech and reason shouldhave aconversstion on astroaomy. One would offer ob¬
jections to what the other said of the principles of sj
tronomy. which appeared to bim absurd and silly, be¬
cause he could not understand the intricacies ol thisscience. So is It with man. who is as a worm in com-
prehension.who cannot even ccmprebend bis own ex¬
istence, and who therefore cannot comprehend the sub¬
limity of the Incarnation. Who was there to satisfyGod's justice I Man could not. as there wa« no equalitybetween God and man.therefore it required His own
?Oii as the intermediator. J: was Christ's love for us
thatcK'ised h:m to comedown fru.-n Hi*heavenly l ather,that by His death fallr n man might gain access to Godthrough His merits, and the true adorers are ti.e fruit*of ihe reparation made by our Saviour.
In all the a:age« of Christ's Heavenly career, we see
sufficient to draw lorlh "or adoration for the infantSaviour and this adoration is due equally to the Son as
to the Father. There were many opposers of this doc¬trine who arose in the succi. ding ages of Christianity.Among these was n'e.toriiis. ol the four.b century, whomade objections to the title "Mother of God" being ap¬plied to the Blessed Virgin. He contended that Moth¬er ol Christ" ws- the proper title, a Council was held«I Fpbesu«. which condemned Neetoriu' for broachingthis heresy. This condemnation ol liestoriUS was t
source of great joy to the primitive Christian*.Man's dignity is nut to be measured by worldly .-i.n
aideration. He bears a re^rnblanre to Hod in the lUl-MOrtaÜty ol bis soul; but bvfore the birth of Christ hehad descended to a level with the brute creation. Itwas not only man who derived a benefit from the atone¬
ment of Christ, but woman was a participator ir. theHeavenly benefits. It rai-ed her dimity by a virgin'sbecoming ti.e mother of the Savior. In conclusion, letthis. then, be a day o! joy separated Irom guilt.the joy.of charity and love to man.the joy of Imitating the example oi a crucified God. For those who wish, everything is possible in the love of God.

Stm As the .American Institute has hitherto evinceda laudable anxiety to ascertain the causes of the DUnse-rcus accident* which have occurred on board steam ves-
seis. with a eiew to dirtuse such information among the
traveling portion of the community as should tena to
lessen their tre.juency and as I presume the same
praiseworthy motives still intiuenee its proceedings. I
take the liberty of addressing you respecting the cause
of the late wreck ol the steamboat Atlantic. hopedthat sonic une among the survivors who bad charge ofthe steam engine, would have liiven the public a fullstatement of the facts in relation to the bursliag of the
j " <trnn ekctt" or " 'tram ptpt," for the published accounts
of tue disast* r mention both Without -tating say cir-
cumsta*..-es wbicb can euablc even a person acquaintedwith such matters t* determine which part save war.
This, however, is not r. rj important in solving the ques--' tion, " Jfftiif ims tie /mural ramr of ihr HiOMey f".To this, perhaps, ninety.nine in every hundred wouldreply. Tiefurious rtorm. But this certainly is not a sat-
ialnrtory answer. The Atlantic herselt experienced no
extraordinary difficulty on account ol the Storni untilher motive power ceased to act: and nearly or quiteall tin- steamboat* about New Vurk and the Sound con.
tinued their regular trips during the first eight hourswhich elapsed between the explosion and the i.nal de-
itruction (tt the vessel. Nor was the bursting of steatn
chest or steam pipe the prrmarn cause ol the wreck, for
that, ol Itself, produced no injury to the vessel.shewas just as sound after the explosion us before it.justus able to withstand the force of the storm as shewould have been if the eogine hid stopped tor want ot
coal to feed the tire*.The primary cause, then, of the disaster, or that
which gme upportuuity tor all the other existing, or
subseij'.ent causes to ai t. was, beyond all controversy,a very great and Improper pressure ol »team It msyperhaps he said that ÜM Steam chest war weak andInsufficient.that it was in$nßeirnt to withstand thepressuie to which It was subjected Is proved by theevent. but that it was weak is not shown, nor can it
reasonably be so interred It was probably as strong us
that putt is usually made by the same makers, and onlyhappened to bo weakei than the boilers were ut the timeof the axpljelon.A simple statement ot the case then is. that an Im¬
proper pressure ol steam caused an explosion whichdisabled the engine. The engine being useless and theancburi- insufficient, the vessel was at the mercy of thewind. The wind drove the vessel upon a rocky shore-where »he went to pi,and the passengers were
drowned. This event adds another proof to the manywe have heretofore had of the importance of buildingand managing steam engine* in such w»y as to .. makeiiso./irriiv seHOfy 'lire and take a bond of Fair" tor theirsafk and regular pertormanre of the work to whichthey are applied and especially when that work is ofsuch character that even a slight failure may place hundrcds of valuable lives in jeonardy. Hid a key. or pin.or bolt failed in the engines of the -lireat Westernduring the severe gale which she encountered on heroatward voyage in September last, probably not a soulwe .Id have survived to tell the tale ot her loss. It willadj materially, to the safety of the traveling communi¬ty when each traveler is able to iaforni himself ol thecharacters of the vessels and engines which are offeredtor his conveyance, and can judge correctly of the skilland caution which are employed iu their managementThen ign ji ince and recklessness will cease to receivethat patronage which properly belongs only to skill, in-dustry and prudence.

The r,c:'.*-delpina Society lor Alleviating the Miseries ot Public!'ri*ons more than fifty years ago. was convinced that.as evil association corrupt* good morals, so such asso

They inferred, that a career in sin mizbt be retared, and in many cases ter¬minated, ay removing ,i» qfender from die society of thericked, and associating km exclusively sriiA 'Jit intelligentand virrnoia. They bare never desired, much less at-
tempted the separaaon of a prisoner from all society,nor has such a plan eTer been sanctioned at any time
by the Legislature jf Pennsylvania. They are awarethat man. as a social being, requires intercourse withhis fellow men. and that he also require* retirement tohis chamber.' where he may commune with his con-science and his Maker alone. They cannot conceivethat intercourse, either verbal, or by signs or looks, wtth
'a herd of corrupt convicts can be beneficial, far less es-seasa! to either the bodily, mental, or spiritual healthof a prisoner while in confinement. They cannot con¬ceive that society owes it as a duty to convicts to intro-duce them to each other to compel them to form an
j acquaintance which, once formed, may never be forgot- iten: aa acquaintance which may extisguAt. in meir
j souls ibv last, small lingering spark ot self-respect;which inevitably subjects the penitent to tie «ad conse-
quences of recosmitioB. and aimoet inevitably establishes! in the bosom of society a permanent band of disciplinedoffenders, bound together by a commuaion of know-ledge of the persons and character of each other.Such are some of the reason* which induced them to

He was. born at Readme. Fairfield County. Con¬
necticut, i- 1757. He earered Dartmouth Collegein 1T74. but soon removed to Yale College, where
he gradcated in 177?, heir-..* ranked the first of his
t".a.-s for talents and learning During the vaca¬
tions he more than once repaired as a volunteer to
the Camp. havicg four' brothers iu the American
Army He was preset.: at several skirmishes, and
foudit bravely at the Battle of White Plains.After leaving College he commenced the study ot
the law but being urged to qualify himself for the
office of Chaplain, he studied divinity, and. beingsoon licensed to preach, he served in the army as
Cha-.daiti until the return of peace, when he re¬
sumed the study of the law also edited a paper at
Hartford. In 1737 he published his great poem of
.The Vision of Columbus,' and in l'O? lie revisedand enlarged it. repobuahing it :a a splendid vol¬
atile, under the title of The Columbiad In 17S5he published a revised edition of Watts's Psalmsand Hymns. 'which lie prepared at the request ofthe Congregational Clergy of Connecticut. In 1788Barlow wer.: to Europe, as the agent of the SciotoLand Company, but ignorant of the fraudulent de-
signs of that concern. From England he crossedover to France, where his zeal 'i-r republicanisminduced him to take part in the French Revolution,connecting himself with the Girondists, OMnoderateparty. In 1791 he we::t to England, and publishedthe tirst pat of Iiis 'Advice to the Privileged Or¬
ders.' in which lie attacked the feudal system, na¬
tional Church, and other British institutions. In
17'iJ he published a poem called 'The Conspiracynf Eines, a work which then obtained for him pop¬ularity and fume. The French National Conven¬tion conferred ou him the righti of a French citizen,He now iix.7,1 his residence in France, and accom¬

arch under whom they then served. In Savoy liealso composed his Hasty Padding,' n mock didac¬tic poem, the most popular of his poetical produc¬tions. After his return to I'aris, lie translated Vol-
ney's Ruins but his time was principally occupiedby commereial speculations, in which be acquireda large property. Shocked by the atrocities of theFrench Revolution, lie took but little part in |>o!itics.
In 1795 General Washington appointed BarlowConsul at Algiers, with powers to negotiate treat
les of peace with the Barbary powers. He soon
j concluded treaties with Algiers ami Tripoli, reacu-
ing many American citizens from slavery. In 1791he resigned his Consulship and returned to Paris,

Force oi Example).We are happy to End, as will be seen by the fol¬
lowing quotation, thut Governor AlKE.v of SouthCarolina, iu his recent Message to the Legislature,has recommended that a liberal appropriation bemade toward a Geological Survey oi that State;and that the sum of'#500 be also granted to Prof.HoLBROOK, to aid in tin- publication of his valuablework on Ichthyology, which he lias for so long a
time been preparing. We have no doubt thatSouth Carolina will, by such liberal ucts, bring forthits valuable treasures hidden in the bowels of theoartii. and in which it almost certainly abounds.
In speaking of South Carolina College the Govemor says.
I am sure it will nut be considered unreasonable to
suggest that a small appropriation ot $000.in the shape.of a subscription.be made, to aasist Professor llolbroi.ltputting bis work to press, and laying it betöre the public.Such a book deserves to be placed in the library of theState, as a testimonial ut the talent and energy of one
of its most scienlitic citizens.Among many subjects ol importance, claiming the
attention o'" the Legislature, there is none ut greater iu-threat or of higher magnitude, than the Geological andAgricultural Survey of the State. So much has beensaid and written on this subject.and the matter hasbeen so frequently and ably discussed, not only in the Gen¬eral Assembly ol the State, but in the public journals ofthi country, it would seem an act of supererogation
j on my part to add anything to support it. Vet f con¬ceive it ray duty to urge you to the continuation of thismost valuable undertaking, not merely as toe onlyIi,.-ans of perfecting what has been so wisely com-
menced, but as tending to develop and bring to prutita-ble availability, the bidden treasures and resources
which lie emboweled in our native soil, and giving a
practible utility to that which, when analyzed and in-
vestigated, by the hand of Science, must freely contrib¬ute to the wealth and prosper.ty of our people. Tosuch a work.promising such results.the Legislaturecannot be inditierent. and I would inviu? special atten-t:ou to the report ot Mr Tuomi-y, as artording inior-inuliuu in regard to the details connected witi. it_The labors uf this ger.tleinun have already beenfnnttu! In advantages, but they are as nothing com¬
pared with the ,r-c- er... -. which may reasonablybe anticipated from an extention and prolongation ofhis I its. South Carolina should not be tardy in em
ulating her sister r-utes. in adorning assistance, when¬ever it is needed, tor the pro-ecudon ut scientific cnter-prises, the mure especially when they bid fair to ex<*r-
j eise such an influence ou her future destinies, and Itrust no false notions of economy will interfere to preent her from prosecuting, with vigor that which isnow making sucn favorable progress.
I would respectfully suggest that a new professorshipoi 'ieoloey and Agriculture) be created, as a most de-slrahle and important addition to those already estab-lished. thereby affording information on subjects closelyconnected with the industry and pursuits of a large por-tion of our People.Meantime we must dann for ourselves the merit
ofhavingfirst taken the lead. New-York 1237made the tirst appropriation, aad selected its corpsofaa-.anj. assigning to them their ditEerent depart-menu. The reauit has been that very importantdiscoveries have been made in Mineralogy as wellas in the various branches of Natural History. Seeworks published by the State under the superin¬tendence ofDr. Dekay, Emmous and others. Theamount already paid by the State exceedsS.'löO.OöO. and the labor is not yet completed, andwill in all probability require a cous-derabie amountmore before its termination. Not only is the high
> character of New York raised in the estimation ofits people by such liberal acts of its Legislature,but its reputation abroad for wealth and scier.ee is
greatly euhance.J. We cannot, therefore, but re¬
gard the liberai sentiments as expressed by Gov.Aiken in his message, as both honorable to himselfand the State over which he presides, and we sin¬cerely hope that as beneficial results may atteadtheir efforts.

Addresses were successively delivered by Masters
Charles M. Hyde and Jesse K. Furlong, and Rev. Dr.

the influence of children to effect cood had been under¬

had been struck by the esteem in which the childrenare there held. In the Church service boy* are em¬

to see so msny young friends assembled, and to hear
their voices praising God in His holy temple. He had
designed to jive them, as it were, a Sabbath School les¬
son that would be found in the Od chapter of Luke, fromthe-list verse to the close.in which is embodied all
we know of the childhood of the Saviour. Dr. C. than
proceeded at some length to contrast the early and the
later life of the Saviour with what is too often the dis¬
obedient and rebellious conduct of hi* children.andwhile addressing his remarks particularly to the chf.dren took occasion to point out to them in an energeticmanner, their duty toward God and man.
