Amos Bi.nnky, of Boston, wan electod to take his place as chairman. After the minutes were read, an I slightly altered, at the suggestion of several member.", Dr. Jackson arose to thank tue Society warmly for the unexpected honor conferred upon him the ?lay before, in his election to the othce of President for the enduing year; und to assure them that, if Providence permitted, he would be at his post, and use all his efforts to promote the harmony and pros perity of the Society. Prof. Rodger* moved that a committee should be appointed, to petition the Legislature on the sub ect of the distributions of the report of the Geolo gical Survey. The motion was adopted, and Profs. Rogers and Silliman, and Dr. Jackson, were nomi nated as tbe committee. Mil. J. D. Dana rose on behalf of the committee ippointed to revise the scientific nomenclature, as lelined by the rules of the British Association. They suggested their proposed alterations in the fol lowing report, which, upon motion, it was resolved to submit to the three scientific Societies of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, for their approval, or such amendments as they might think proper to suggest. LAW OF PRIORITY WITH ITS LIMITATIONS. The name originally given to a group, or 8|>ecies, by its founder, should be retained, to the exclusion of all subsequent synonyrnes. The systematic nomenclature having originated with Linnaeus, this last law is not to extend to the writings of antecedent authors. In the progress of science, it often becomes ne cessary to restrict or extend the characteristics of a ^enus, or to subdivide it into several genera. The tollowing principles bearing upon the abovo law, should be adopted in making such changes. A. When several smaller genera are united in one, the name of the earliest, if otherwise vinob ectionable, should be selected as the name of the whole group. B.?When a genua is auMivided, the original generic name should not be cancelled, but should In- rctainod for that portion of it which was considered typical by the luthor; or if the evidence as to the original type is not ?lear and indisputable, it may be given to any portion, and their given name should be ever afterwards retained. C.?When a generic name has a synonymo exactly equivalent to it in its original application, in making a lubdivision of the genus, this synonyms should not ue adopted for either of the now genera formed, except when its type, as laid down by its author, belonged to a liferent section of the genus from that of the other name, ind both these sections are elevated to genera. Kor in itance, the genus " Monaulus" of Viellot, (1H1C,) is a precise equivalent to oi Tommenck, (1813,) both author* having adopted the same species as their type ; ind therefore, when the latter genus came, in the course of time, to be divided into two, it was incorrect to give the condemned name, "Monaulus," to one of the por tions. The name " CEdemia" and " Melanetha," wcro originally iynonyms, but their respective types were taken from different section* of the group, und conse quently, in raising these two sections to genera, their names are retained for the groups. There are other limitations of the law of priority, aris ing from the violation of the rules of propriety in the in troduction of terms. They are as follow : A.?Names given to species or groups unaccompanied by published descriptions, ahoula yield place to the ear liest name accompanying such description. It has been customary for some naturalists to give names to species in their oabinets, or in a published cata logue, and on this ground to claim authority for such aaines. This is not allowable?neither is it sufficient that the description appear in a public ncw?paper, or in a journal not widely known for its scicntific character. A name of a species already in use for another species of the same genus, should be changed; also, a generic aame in Zoology before employed for a genus in the 4ame kingdom should be clianged, and the same in the botanical kiugdom. A name glaringly opposed in its signification to the essential characteristics of a species or group, and likely to propagate important errors should be changcd. Much term* as mono don, Caprrtaulgut, Paradiria apoia and monoculers have acquirod sufficient currency no longer to cause error, and are therefore retained without inconvenience.Names derived from localities where the specimens are found to have wider limits, should still be retained. But when we find a Batrachian reptile named in violation of its true affinities Mastodon saurut, or when a name is derived from an accidental monstrosity, is in Picut Scmirostcs of Linnxus. and Helix diijuncta. Teuton, another name should be substituted. This privi lege should be allowed only in extreme cases. When the name of a specie* is sferwards made the name of a genus, including that species, a new specific name should be given. The generic name, Pyrrhororax, was called by Linn aus a I'y rrhocorux. It, therefore, became necessary to change the specific name, and Mpinui was substituted.? The practice of thus elcvatiug specific names to generic,is a bad one. Objected to in one of the sections below. Laws with aiOAnn to OaTiiOGitArur. In writing systematic names, the rulos of Latin orthography should be adhered to, except in worda derived from proper names in which only the termination should *>e Latinized. Proper names of individuals would often become unintelligible if modified so as to conform throughout Latin or thography. We should not recognize Knighti, Wood wardi, in the words Cnichti, Vuirardi. But words of bar barous origin, having no fixed orthography, arc more pli able, and hence, when adopted into the Latin, should be rendered aa classical in appeanncc as is consisvont with the preservation of the original sound. In compounding two Cireck words, the first of the two should have the form of the gcniUve case, dropping only the terminal consonant. In compounding two I.atin words, the same rule should be followed, except that ?' should be substituted when the genitive end* in or, should end in the genitive i or it ; but when in compliment to a person not a discoverer, the adiective should end iu anv$. Prof Itcot as condemned the use of unnecessary names, above all, of complimentary names. It was a fault to which naturalists were very prone to give the names of their friends to new species, and he hoped the committee would recommend in their report the abolition of this in cumbrance to science. I'rof. Hai.dkma* observed that iu the report of the Bri tish Association which wo* widely circulated, they sug gested that unmeaning names of this description should be printed commencing with a small letter ; now this re gulation he was in favor of as an effectual rcmedyagainst the bestowal of auch nainea by naturalists?who would not consider it any great compliment to their friends to have their names'placed in a position of studied obscuri ty. Ills (Prof, li.'s) name had been given to sevoral small animals (Laughter.) But ha expected to aee it redeem ed from the, (bv no means illustrious,) association by the use of the small lettar. Mr. WmLrui was always of opinion that science pu rified itself, and no matter what names were given, if they did not possess a meaning, they would not last fifty jeers. The evil discusse d would correct itself. I'rof Rouses moved th*t the report should be recom mitted with the MMMMh tlint tho committee should adopt 10 tha reyort the usage of the British asso ciation in regard to the small letter. Adopted. The Secretary read a letter from Lieut. Johnson, dated Isn Washita, t hoctasw Nation, containing a few remarks on the neology of the vicinity of that station.

Professor Hillima* arose for the purpose of a^alu al luding to the exported visit of that relehratrd na' uralist and geologist, Professor Agassi/. of ??'? itierland, he was coming to this country for tue purpo>? of ?tu>ly ing iti geology, lie., and as It ?>< not improbable that members of the association nu^ht have it 1:1 their power to facilitate lys euquiiies.he could not 1.the opportunity slip of bespeaking for him the ready co-operation of American men of science, as it w at due, not >>uly to the cause, but to himself (Professor A.) )x*rso.tally The Sr.catTABr then read a paper written by Professor Samuel Webber, on certain forms of attraction It wted of the remains of uinuto auimalculi; and kum\ in;r that other sniinulcula have their hard part coinpoted of siln.it secins not improbable that the flints foun 1 in the cl.ilW are merely the remains of the lust, as tho chalk itself it of the former kind; nud that both sorts perishing together in the water, tho siliceous ikelotons collected together in masses under tho influenco of the attraction of similarity. In this view 1 am sustained by a now work called "Ves tiges of Creation." If this bo admitted to be the case, might not the acarus crassii be merely the development of ova, which at or near maturity, were envelo|>cd in fie remains of their progenitors, and retained sufficient vi tality in despite of all the hard trials to which they were subjected. to be called at last into life under the po tent influence of the voltaic battery. The concluding paragraph of Mr. Woliber'i paper pre sents a brief summary of his views, thus :? What is this attraction, that has been treated of. and of which 1 have ipoken ns homonrgeous attraction? Is it anything but a general la w by which tho porticlet that constitute a solid of a uniform nature, are brought and held together and of which the law of cohesion and chry s tnli/.ation are but modifications or states, itself being part ofa more general law of the universal attraction of mat ter for itself, which moro general law has its modification of cohesion aud union amoug particles not heteregoneoui. Is it but an imperfect action of tho attraction of polarity exerted over sensiblo distances, bringing particles into cohesion, at any rate acting more powerfully upon parti cles of the same kind, and disposing them to uuite with each other, in preference to foreign particles, and when full, perfect anil unimpeded in its action, to unite in certain regular forms f Oris it, as some imagine, without treat ing of it fully, but a kind of chemical attraction or affi nity? These questions cannot now he answered satisfac torily, but it may be conjectured that tho law of polarity, moaning thereby some great power like electricity, if not electricity itself, seems to me the most probable, and it may be that such it the great law of all attractions of all kinds, and of gravitation itself?a power of universal ex tent and plasticity, deriving its apparently discrepant and diversified action from the circumstances under which it acts, and by the permutation and combination of but a few comparatively simple and general principles. Dr. J ac doubted the orthodoxy of the work quoted by .Mr. Webber, entitled " vestiges of Creation." It was quite true that by pouring sulphuric acid ou certain vc certaiu vegetable substances anamalcula: wore produ ced, but as to the use of silicate of potash, as siioken of in that book, ho had tested it and found uo animalcule were formed. Prof.'Oi..?iTLD, in alluding to the supposed discharge of gelatinous matter from meteors, wondered how such an absurd notion became prevalent. Aftor the great me teoric shower ol 1833, prot, Twining resolved to trace to their sources all these reports, and the result of his la bors was a conviction of their entire fallacy. But he rose more particularly for the purpose of enquiring if ray member present was cognizant of any case of gelatinous mutter being discharged from meteors. [No reply.] Prof. Kookhs observed that ho could not dissent from the remarks mado as to tho production of animalculie ; the subject of generation was ono of great importance, but yet in great obscurity, and lie desired to see it taken up again by this Society! As to the erroneous and spe culative views advanced in that celebrated work, " Ves tiges of Creation," they were far overbalanced by the sublime aud glorious views it unfolded of creation. Professor Ualdkma* thought they should not con demn the author of "Vestiges of Creation," for adopting the course followed by all orthodox writers; that is, of reasoning on premises that were not entirely and unani mously admitted by scientific men. There was as much assumption on one'side as the other, and the doctrine of generation occupied and puzzled the strongest minds of every age. Professor Sillima* cited the authority of Dr. Mantell, of Philadelphia, now in London, against tho book,which, although evidently the production of a powerful, en quiring, but not practical writer, was of a dangerous and irreligious tendency. Tho President hero announced that the regular busi ness was finished, and inquired if members had any addi tional business to offer before they adjourned. Mr. J. P. Dana again brought up' the revised report of the committee on nomenclature, which was adopted. On motion of Professor Sillima*, it was resolved to publish 600 copies of tho report for circulation in the manner best calculated to forward the views it cm braced. On motion of Professor Roaras, it wan resolved that tlie Secretary be instructed to prepare minute* of the Society 's proceedings, ami to tint end obtain from mem bers abstracts of pupers read by them, and that 500 co pies of said proceedings be published at the espouse of the association. It was also resolved that the remaining volumes of the transactions of the Society be placed on sale for the bene fit of tho Society. Mr. Kr.Drir.i.J moved that the local committee appoint ed to make arrangements for the nest session at New York, have power to invite such persons as they thought desirable to attend their session. The General Comnitttee reported tho nnnesed list ol new members,which was approved :? l)r. John H. Kane, New Haven; I)r. M. W. Dickison, Natchez; Colonel W'aites, Washington, Miss.; Dr. Daniels, Savannah; Dr. YV. Alvord, Greenfield, Mass.; Win. Logan, Ksq. of the Geological Survey, Canada; Sir Charles Bonncycastle, Canada; Nathl. T. True, Mon mouth, Me.; Kichard Bolton, Misc.; D. Olmsted, jr. New iiuven. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Governor of Yale College for tho use of the lecture room, and also to the Secretary and his assistant, for their valuable ser vices. Prof. SiicrARD rose, and alluded to some remarks of his made the day before, as to the identity of the specimens produced from Alabama, by Dr. Kane,'and the great bed of Carolina ; he added that by esperiment, he found the latter to contain from 6 to 8, or even 9 per cent of lime. Dr. Jacksok observed, that when engaged in the geo logical survey of Vermont, he found beds of marl that yielded three ]>er cent of lime. He could not help here adverting to the singularity of the fact, that, while the English were honoring Dr.'Justns Liebeg, for his dis covcry of the relation Detween the phosphates and vege tables' they had in their own language a work in which tlie whole subject was treated of in a masterly manner. Thi? volume was written in lfi9.'> by the Earl ol Dundon ald ; and it not only treated of the action of phosphates, but of all)salts, as well as tho alkalies; in that great work, which was forgotten only because it was in advance of the age, the author was assisted by the famous men, Priestly and Cavendish, the first of whom discovered the simple constituent elements of air. the latter of water. Prof. Roufcits reported on behalf of the committee ap pointed to make certain amendments in the constitution, that they reeommendod tho changing of the name of the society to " tho society for the promotion of science,"' that their secretary should be permanently appointed, like that of the British Association, and that members, on admission, should pay a feo of two dollars each ; it also suggested that chemistry should be added to their field of inquiry. Pmt. Booth thought it would be better to wait a little before acting on that report. Ho had no doubt that tho change* contemplated could be ultimately found practi cable: but although tho British Association was worthy of Imitation In the wide field (hoy took for their enqui ries, it conld not be overlooked that their means were incomparably greater; the) hid great wealth, which ena bled them to conduct gigantic enquiries. There was a danger in forming their fisorhtlon on too grand a scale ; it would bo bettor to build slcvly and surely; and ho fenrod it would he found to he growing too rapidly if the proposition under eonsidention were immediately acted upon. < homlstry was a department familiar to many members of the socioty, nnd therefore might be taken up, and certainly it was one of tho most important, as some of the other hiuncltes dopondod upon It for their fundamen tal prine(plei. Prof. Oi.mstfo would like to throw in n word for natu ral philosophy. Sir John Hrrschcll had shown most con clusively tho connection between these departments of science, and ho desired to see Astronomy receiving the attontion of the socioty, if they decided on adopting Che mistry or other branches. Professor Sn lima v, as one of tho committee recommen ding tho changes, thought that their adoption would be no symptoms of an over rapid growth. They had now gone on gradually and steadily for six years, ond it was time to open their society to aJl communications. In tho meantime, the report might stand over to nest mcotiug, when they could be discussed at morn length. ('apt. Wilkks, C. H. N^wns of opinion that the propos ed alterations were judicious ; if adopted, many men now excluded, and who were ansious to join them, could do so. The researches of men in every branch of scicnce made such persons interesting to each other ; this he found to be the case in the course of the Exploring Ex pedition, where the gentlemen of the different depart ments made themselves reciprocally sources of interest to each other, and the same result would lie found in re gard to this sooietv. No harm could come of extending their enquiries, and It would bo cortaiu to widen the so ciety beyond its present limits, and it would be stretching out the hand of good-will to those scicntific. brethren w ho wished to join them. ? The discussion here dropped, tho report lying over for ftitnre consideration. It was then resolved, that authors who had presented papers to this meeting, have power to publish them ill any vehicle they think proper. Professor Sillimais rose, and in a few brief remarks re viewed the session that was now about coming tot close. As one of the local committee appointed to make the pre liiflnary arrangements, he felt no little responsibility, and some anxiety for tho result; and it waa a source of Kraal gratification to him to observe from day to day, ? harmony, courtesy, and mutual good feeling that wu exhibited during their proceedings, and he could not let the opportunity pass w ithout thanking them individually, for the courteous and friendly bearing they exhibited to ward* himself; and it would not be without a feeling of regret tliat he should witneti for the present, a termina tion of their labors, and desire to seo the period come again, when they should resume them.

A tote of thanks wai then passed to the inhabitants of New Htm for Mr kindness and attention to the society, and it was dcclaied adjourned, to meet again in New York in Scptembor, 1*16. Slew York Historical Society. The regular monthly meeting of the New York Historical, Society w as held at its rooms, in the I nivoraily, on Tuesday evening last. There was a full attendance, as a discussion on the re|>ort of the committee to give a name to the country was antici pated. After some routine business, in the course ofwhich a letter was presented from Ilenry O'Reily, Esq., of Albany,* corre *| Kind i ng member,givingan interesting uecottnt of hmresearches into the early history of this Slate, especially in the Indian department; the order of ImMoeits on die report of the committee was taken U|?. The Skc kktakv announced that a variety of com munications hid been received, from societies and from distinguished individuals, expressing dieir ' ?pinion on the proposed change of the national name. Aixnys those letters were communications from the liistoncdl Societies of New Hampshire, Massa chusetts, Maryland, and New Jersey, all respectfully proposing the cousideraiion of the question. letters were also read from Chancellor Kent, and M. Van Buren. The former dissented point blank from the view of the Committee, and the ex-Presi dent, with characteristic caution, declared that "in present circumstances," he was rather inclined to entertain the belief, that, jierhni>8 it was,after all, not inexpedient to defer making any change. It was then announced (hut the llev. Mr. Grts wold, of Philadelphia, had at lust arrived, and a motion was ottered that his paper be read, and the order of business suspended tor that purpose. Some desultory discussion followed, and finally the motion prevailed. Mr. Ghiswolii then read his paper. The subject was the " Literature of the United States." The paper was lengthy and rather prosy. Mr. Griswold considered that in all departments, the literature of this country was superior to that of the old world. A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Griswold, and the meeting adjourned. Farmers' Club? Mechanics' Institute. Tuesday, May 6. Subject?Prttcrvation of Animal Food. The subject tiniiminced for discussion upon this occasion, attracted a more than usual assemblage of all interested in th? important issue, from the butch er to the farmer, and from the thrifty housekeeper to the government contractor. The first hour was, as usual, devoted to fcubjects of a miscellaneous conversational nature, und not without some pecu liar interest. Mr. Barber, of Massachusetts, was nominated to the chair; and the Recording Secretary, ils usual, was Mr. Meigs. An alarming statement was read, of a disease prevailing generally in Europe, amongst black cattle, bearing all the characteristics of the typhus in the human form, and equally fatal in its consequences in die animal creation. A premium has been ottered bv an agricultural society ill Eu rope, of $'300, for the best essay on its symptomatic developments, the best mode of treatment, its con tagious influences, the pre-disposing cause, and how far it can relate to this climate; as, also, upon the necessity of such precautionary measures as may avert this calamity from our cattle. During the dis cussion of this, another subject was introduced by Mr. Mew, by the presentation of 30 grains of wild rice, used by the Otonabee Indians, upon Rice Lake, in Upper Canada, und which was decided to be food ouly fit for the tribe that cultivate it. A gen tleman then reverted to the disease of cattle, and ascrib ed to those coming l'rom the west, Ohio and Illinois par ticularly, all the diseases of lungs and liver to which oxen are " heirs to." Mr. Edwards, from England, gave a horrifying description of the ravages of this disease in that country, and suggested for that useful class of crea tion the same precaution that the faculty adopt in all si milar human visitations, " white-washing,|bleeding by the gallon, chloride of lime and cleanliness." A member here made an objection to the sweeping imputation cast upon the horned tribe of Ohio by another member, and eloquently repudiated the " soft impeachment" from his optical experience in Fulton market. A member said that twenty years ago, all the cattle in the west were afflicted with liver complaints and dyspepsia, which an improved soil has removed. Mr. Me'iggs reiterated the caution he once received from an honest butcher, not to purchase any meat but that impressed with tho Jew ish seal. This interesting discussion was here inter rupted by a motion to publish the letter for the prize essny on tho disease of bulls, which was passed nrm. con. Then there was a discussion about the inven tion of Anastetic Printing, which somo Knglishmnn as sumed as his discovery; while Joseph Dixon, of Taun ton, ten years ago, claimed the honors due to this impor tant invention; specimens were produied, as labels of Oillott's steel pens, which caused a great sensation. After a few heads of corn were handed round, a commu nication was read from Mr. Mclnsier. on tho soiling of cattle. Ho recommends mangel wurtzel, sugar beet, ruta haga, turnips, to. The chairman highly approved of this diet, confirmed by eight years personal experi ence. lie approved of carrots ,u a substitute for oats for horses. At this stage of the business, the secretary circulated somo ?'mammia" of various country's growth, and Col. Clarke some sun flower seeds of great prolific virtue, as also a few seeds of inarrow squash. Several learned analyses of guano were referred to the olfactories of a select committee. Then came the subject of the day, " Preservation of Animal Food." Dr. Lardner and Profes sor Mapcs had both been invited to furnish their expe rience, but both were absent. A long communication was read, prescribing a course of cure, that included molasses, and salt, ami pearl ash, and salt petre. as a val uable remedy. The same author wrote a homily on the preservation" of eggs, butter, hogs lard and trout, for Delaware and Catskill, all proving, incontrovertihly, that molasses possesses " antisceptic" properties, that, none but " sceptic" could hesitate to believe. Another member announced, that he ate part of a ham in Virginia, that was for two years suspended in a bag, in a dark gar ret, and never needed smoking. At this stage of these interesting proceedings, Professor Mapes entered the hall, and all eyes (that is, of those who remained be hind,) were fixed upon him, for his opinion on the " ma teria medica" of salt, which he delivered with hi* usual philosophy, and no doubt, to the edification of the rem nant of the agricultural club who heard him. This inexhaustible subject will be renewed neat Tues day. American Agricultural Association. This influential body met 011 Monday evening at ' the Historical Society's rooms. The Hon. L. I Bradish presided. Some choice flowers were ex hibited. She society also received many dona- | turns. Mioiunt others, a quantity of African Guano for the use of the members. After the preliminary matters, in which a resolu tion for the change oi the day of meeting to th? 1st Wednesday of each mouth was adopted, the read ing of papers commenced. Prof. Loom 18 gave 11 very elaborate account of an extensive rain storm, which passed through the United states in 1842, illustrated with a series of maps, showing the condition of the ?ky, the tem perature, barometrical altitude, and direction of the wind for the whole country. From this examina tion, he deduced many important consequences, and concludcd by call'ng for the interposition of the association, in causing a more profitable series of observations to be made, by the academies of the State, Mr. Swain moved a resolution for the purpose of reaching this object, which was unanimously adop ted by tne association. . Mr. Stevens, of Buffalo, made, an interesting communication on the diseases of cattle, and staled that lioui personal observation, he liarl ttMVVma that a large majority of the animals slaughtered in this city were severely diseased. He suggested the expediency of procuring sanatory regulations from the corporation to correct ihis state of things. The galvanic plants exhibited by Mr.'tPell, elicited an interesting discussion, and led to the appoint ment of a committee to investigate the matter. Dr. Gardner proposed that a liberal premium be offered for a complete series of observations on the potatoe, with a view of discovering the nature and origin of the disease, which has destroyed such large quantities. The society adjourned to the first Wednesday in June. Iron.?The consumption of iron in the United State*, in the crude mm, is animated at .S'J2.ouo, 000 per nnniim, nearly equal to the whole value ol raw cotton produced in the foiled State* at proaent price* ' According to Mr. Virlet, Kraucu, Sweden.

Fourier Convention. | Tliis Convention was held last evening at the ; | Minerva Rooms, Broadway, which, when contrast- I ed with the affair of last year, held at Clinton Hall, amid all the "pomp and circumstance" attendant ; upon the fanatical excitement that prevailed amongst the 1' ourierites, or 'Socialists, so-called, who thronged that Ilall during the six days of meeting held in May last, presented a saddened state of de generacy amongst the disciples of the distinguished founder of the sect. The place of meeting was se lected, doubtless, from die classic associations that attach to the celebrated goddess, whose name .it bears. Minerva sprang from the brain of Jupiter, fully armed and equipped for war; and Fourierism sprang from the brain, no matter whether of Horace Greeley, or Brisbane, or Park Godwin, or Robert Owen, but, on witnessing the meeting of last even ing, we were led to exclaim, in the words of the poet?"Oh! what a falling off was there." At eight o'clock, there was a thin attendance, most of whom consisted of fair siiectators, whose faces were fami liar to those who had attended the Bible meeting held at the Tabernacle in the early part of the day, and, we may say, all the anniversaries of the week. Amongst tliem were a partial sprinkling of the coarser ?ex, many of whom hail evidently attended, more upon the ladies, than through any degree of interest in the ob jects of the meeting. The meeting was organized by a Mr. L. W. Rtcsma*, who explained the object of tho convention, and took a cursory view of the Kourierite doctrine, and the im proved condition of Brook Karma. He concluded his re marks by calling on the friends of " universal unity," to come forward and aid them in their struggles for the universal regeneration of mankind. Horace Greeley next came forward, and after giving a lucid exposition of the origin, doctrine, and designs of Socialism, went on to say that the experiment at Brook Farm had been so successful, that it needed nothing to be said in advocacy of the system, the objects of which em braced the most enlarged and comprehensive philan thropy. Mr. O. after ottering some remarks in advocacy of the' general principles ot socialism, and calling on their friends to subscribe for it3 advancement, was fol lowed by Mr. Park tionwix, who travelled over the same ground, and went on to say that there was a wide field for the exercise of the benevolent objects of socialism alone in the city of Now York, whero there was no less than 10,00'J women of ill-fame, as hnd been ascertained by statistics introduced at several of the present anniver saries. The degeneracy of the age in which we lived, produced such a state of things, and they ought to make every effort to regenerate the condition of unfortunate females of this city. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs. Brisbane, Chaining, and others, when tho meeting separated. National Acadcmy of Design. No. 320.

It is not often that a model of such a high order of i merit is presented to the American public; and when we reflect that it is the work of one so young, we caunot withhold the praise our heart prompts us to indulge in. The positionenables the artist to exhibit his wonderful knowledge of anatomy to the fullest extent; and although there is probably some exaggera tion in its muscular developments, we should not cen sure the artist for a fault, (if it may be called one,) that he has committed in common^with all great modellers from Michael Angelo to the best sculp tors of the present day. It ia truly a wonderful pro duction. The only objection we can possibly otfer, is that Mr D. selects unpleasant instead of acrceabla sub jects, which is an objection we have (>ernaps no right to offer. Perhaps he may be induced to try the beau tiful in some of his future efforts. We hone so, and if he is as successf ul in that line of excellence as he has already proved himself to be in the terrible, he may look forward to a proud career in fhe noble world of sculpture. Within a few days past, a charming bust has been added to the exhibition ; it is the work of an Ame rican artist at Rome, named H. K. Brown. The bust is done in marble, and chiselled with infinite de licacy and skill. W e have now concluded our remarks. The task has not been an agreeable one, for there are so many works exhibited that are entirely unworthy, that we were forced in many instances to be se vere?not, we can assure the exhibitors, with any personal feelings towards them, for, with one or two exceptions, they arc entire strangers to us.? Many persons are under the impression that it is doing injustice to the artists tocondemn their works that they should be judged leniently, and praiseo instead of being criticised, but this is" a false notion. Although the remarks of the critic may at first an noy, yet it will teach reflection, and the faults iioint ed out may, in future works, be avoided. Tliis.is all we ask. Let them, if they have talent, improve from our suggestions; if they have none, better that they should be ridiculed out of a profession for which they are incompetent, than to be dragging out a painful lifetime in employments that they were never fitted for by nature. Albany. [< onespondence of the Herald.] State legislature. Ar.BA.XY, 6th May, 18-15. The .Senate now meet at 9 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Bockec, chairman of the select committee of eight Senator*, to whom wan referred the bill for the renewal and extension of the American At lantic Steam Navigation Comimny Charter, made a favorable report, and recomincnded the bill to a third readinff.
