he is now, we don't know.
What renders this investigation the odde is the sin
euar fact that the Judge, Recorder Rike the District
Attorney, Mr.. Phoenix, were two of the leading pat
;. rons of the very man whe thrown before them as
criminal and vioater of the law. The Recorder we
know has publicly expressed his regret that he ever
had been invegled into that business-and knowing
well that better, amiable, just and upright
man does not exist in New York, we have no doubt
oft Ofthe District Attorneys sentiments we are
ignorant AT the proper time some light may be

BENEFIT TO THE SEAMsTREssEs-ZooLoGIcA In
srITyTE-We have the pleasure to announce that the
liberal propretors of the Geological Institute in the
Bowery have set apart Monday week, the 9th inst for
benefit towards increasing the funds of the Seam
stresses Benevolent Society This liberal and noble
conduct will no doubt be initiated by several of the
other similar institutions of this city. Mr. Dmneford,
the princely manager Of the franklin ow.of the
Bowery rebuilt at he very beginning, made the
Seamstresses, through us handsome DONATION and
it would be peculiarly appropriate onsevera accounts
if the National Theatre were to follow the example
thus set by the Institute:
The great meeting held in the Tabernacle has
aroused spirit of enthusiasm among all classes for
the cause of poor distressed, unprotected woman
The highly honorable example set by Cornelius w.
Lawrence, John Mason, John Jacob Astor w. Will
merding M. Van Setback, in setting this hasiness
agong has been most efficient and operative. The
splen,d eloquence of speakers on that occasion
Mr. David Graham, jr Mr.. McClay, Dr. Reese,
Mr. Western and others, has opened fresh and pure
view ofcharity, which Hugh Maxwell, Ogden HoH:
| man. and the Rev. Mr. Schroeder had not time to do
though honorcd with an invitation by the poor females
| themselves
1t is fortunate thing for society-for chary-for
the hungry-for the naked-that there are always
some persons in this community who find time to do
good-who steal moment from pleadngs and
preachngs, TO stir up the sumberng sensbilites of
generous people. One of the good effects growing
out of population of 100000 souls, besides much cat
tie, n this, that if one set Of orators have not
time TO do good action, there are others always
| dy TO supply their place. with at least as much eo
quence and moro true public spirit multitude of
clergymen even a supply beyond the demand, is also
beneficial because if one is so busy writing few short
silly sermons to fill the milk and water columns
of the New York Mirror that he cannot come forward
70 comfort the afiiccd-the afflicted female there
always others to take his place. and make us forget
the loss if not rejoice over the escape Ifpoitcal ho

splendid pa.ty, were always the objects ends of
invitations, then there's no difficulty finding dests
Thousands will press forward, running each 9TH
ers heads and heels. But when the poor the distress
ed the weak, the destitute make an appeal the great
men of the earth, swelling and strutting TO mmortali
tyover the heads Of heirpeers stoop to such
level, or find time for such purpose. Bah!
] Yet, are glad it was not altogether so in relation

nesday night revealed their existence Even the very
wild beasts-thc lons tigers, and leopards of. the
Bowery2have heard the appeal of the poor females
and on Monday night next they intend ,oroar for
,heir benefit in the most magnificent and powerful
tones. We would barely ask the eoqsspt gentlemen
who had not time to listen to the plantve tones OF
fenales in distress just to call that evening and
ascertain how the eoquence of the lion and his f,l
lows, compares with theirs 1t will be a study for an
artist. Who knows but the materials for a sermon
may be gathered from che lordly voice of the lorres
king.or the screams of the iiger-or the moics,i,
tread Of the elephant. At least the example, is worth
initiating, even by clergyman or an orator.
