Mr. BRowS, Of Miss spoke in favor Of providing
lands, but not in the manner proposed. The title
should not pass from the United States. He in
tended 10 otter G substitute. He proceeded to
show that by encouraging agriculture the sggre-
gate wealth OF the country is Increased commerce
augmented and the national prosperity promoted.
Mr.. GREEN replied to some remarks Of Mr.. Ca
sey. and expressed bis belief that Congress has
undoubted power not only TO pass this bin, bat
make any other similar provision, having in view
the resources of the Treasury and the general tn
terests Of the community at large, and It is on tho
same principle that large grants Of public lands
have been given to the new States.

the floor, when the morning hour expired, and the
House went into Committee on the bill 70 supply

CoMMITTED.-On Tuesday the examination OF
seven youths, charged with having committed
gross outrage on the person of Ellen. Mcdonald
on the night of the l4th inst, was held at the
County Jail in Raymondst The names OF the
prisoners were: John McCuskey, Patrick Mur'
ray John Combs William Hendricbson, Peter
Smith, George Higbie and John Hammond. The
testimony Of Ellen Mcdonald and other witnesses
was taken, whereupon the Judge decided that
the evidence so far as it at present went was
sufficient to hold all the parties accused, for trial
The inquiry was then adjourned for the purpose
of obtaining other testimony in favor OF some OF
the accused, until two o o'clock on Thursday The
accused being called upon for personal examina
ton, under the advice Of their counsel, pleaded
not guilty. and refused to answer any questions.

Mr.. SEBA SMITH, author Of New Elements oil
Geometry" delivered Lecture before the Amer
lean Institute on Tuesday evening last IN eA-
PLANTATION and illustration Of certain new dlscoVe-
ries in Geometry which he claims to have made
bv which the Science is greatly simPlided, and
by which its usefulness may be greatly extended
Geometry, said Mr.. s. is called the Science OF
Magnitude; that which enables us to measure ana
compare magnitudes Of different sizes and dihe-
rent forms, and show the relations and agreements
between them. He considered its Importance ana
value, as one of the principal foundations OF hu-
man knowledge; and cited Lord acon' FiaIo'
Pythagoras and Aristotle. The anclehtsi anu es-
pecialy the Greeks, had leIt aounuAns s!t

The Lecturer took the ground that Geometry
in its real nature, is not an abstract, bat con-
crete or physical science. de found ouE TWO au

with some degree Of directness, to the true ma

and labors were not bent IN direction 70 dlscO-

! Its principles are eternal and unchangins never

Sni,;ons must change to suit the newly discover

Geometry, two Of the most prominent are; a

Posi-. OFFIcE.-A petition is in course OF sigma
ture to be presented to the Postmaster General,
at Washington, asking for the establishment of
Post Offices, direct, between WILLIAMSBURG and
Brooklyn, and also between Williamsburgh and
Jersey City. A letter deposited in the Post Of
fees of either city, has to pass through the New
York Post Office if addressed to parties residing
in said cities before it can reach its destination,
causing delay often Of over twentyfour hours.
The citizens loudly complain of the delays and
inconvenience to which they are subjected in con-
sequence.

eters adopted and brought into use three different
kinds Of units, which they assumed to be unlike
in their nature, and incapable of being made
say has length and nothing else; the unit OF sur.
face has length and breadth, bat no thickness and
the unit Of a solid has length, breadth and thick
ness For more than two thousand years the
world has been sorey perplexed and bothered,
and science greatly retarded by mixing up these
three Heterogeneous quantities in all geometrical
operations; and these perpexities have been
doubled by throwing Geometry into the hands OF
Algebra.
Mr.. Smith went on to demonstrate to
the entire satisfaction of his audience, that the
laws of geometrical operation recognize but one
kind of quantity and but one kind of unit. The
unit OF a line the unit of surface, and the unit OF
a solid are identically the same, and are always
perfect cube. The laws of Geometry he held, made
lines and surfaces to be as truly solds-that is,
to consist of cubic quantity, as the solid itself
Every surface has the thickness OF the cubic unit
used in the calculation; and every line has the
breadth and the thickness OF the cubic unit. These
positions were illustrated very fully by the meas
urement of alter with different geometrics forms.
Mr.. 8. then alluded to the three round solids of
Archimedes-the cone sphere and cylinder and
illustrated the simple law of soidty, diameter aad
surface of all solids with the inscribed sphere. In
conclusion he remarked that were the old detni-
tions true he would be the last TO lay Nsudsl
hands on the ancient landmarks of this venerable
and beautiful science; but error has no right TO
homage because it is old. He called upon teachers
to give the subject fair examination.

latter testified that the child is i'll treated by It's
