Senate They were not branch of the legislature,
and did not meet with the Senate, but sat at the

its various gradations from civil to military 60

period the Romans conquered the south Of Italy and
the Greek colonies, and extending their conquests

MARCH 9--Janus Dorney against augustus De
Peyst1-This action was brought by the plaintiff,
.superennuated seaman, against the defendant, who
is the Governor Of the Sailors Snug Harbor," to
recover damages for refusing to permit the plaintiff
to enter and remain in the said Sailors Snug Har
bor" inmate, &C., and for driving the plaintiff
from the premises. The late Captain Robert Richard
Randall, by his will, devised u large real estate in
the upper part Of Broadway, in this city, to trustees
to lease the same, and apply the income to the snp
port Of aged and decrepid seamen during their life,
and to erect buildings for their accommodation in
which they should reside. The Legislature incorpo
rated the trustees named in the will and authorized
the purchase Of site, and the erection Of build
ipgs on Staten Island which was done. The in
come from renting said lands being very large.
The plaintiff, old seminar, was admitted into
the Harbor I" as an aged and dccripid soaman," in
1917, and continued there until the November fol-
lowing, when the defendant was Governor, to whom
he applied for leave TO 20 to Charleston to procure
evidence to establish his claim to q pension for
wounds received by him whom engaged in the Untod
States revenue department. The complaint is silent
as to tho answer given by the Governor
but the sailor went; and on his return,
in January, lSi6, no entered the Harbor, when
the defendant drove lhim from tho place, and
kept him out Of the premises, whereby no became
dependant upon the charity Of his friends for his
maintenance. The defendant interposed demur-
rer to the complaint, to test the question whether
the defendant could be hold amcnabe for the refusal
to take back the plaintiff, whether the remedy Of
the plaintiff should not have boon by complaint to
the trustees to remove the do(sndsat. The plaintiff

PHILADELPHIA, March s, 1852.

JAMES GoRDoN BENNETT, Esq
DEAR SIg-Did you ever hear Of Mrs Greenfield
No. Well, am rather surprised at that, for did
think that you knew everything and everybody.
But let me enlighten you. Mrs. Greenfield was the
widow Of very wealthy planter of Mississippi, and
rated at from $500. 900 to 100000. As She ad
vanced in life, she conceived sundry strange ideas;
among which one was, the giving Of musical edu-
cation to favorite female slave. She died before
the project was accomplished, having FIRST omanci-
pated the slave and the result is before you in the
so called 9 Black Swan" If the word swan was Mt
all suggestive Of music, | would move to substitute
crow, for certainly there is no music in the black
Greenfield ! have often heard her squa, and cer-
tanly never attempted to compare her to Jenny
Lind, Catherine Hayes, or anybody else Of musical
emnenee. But there-I have said enough for you to
found paragraph on.
That Mrs. Greenfield, With all her whms, was a
good woman, is evidenced by the fact that she once
gave reverend gentleman in this city $4,000 oh,
these reyerends
Excuse inc, but am too confoundcdly poor to
pay postage. Suppress my name, If you use any
portion OF this.
Did it ever strike you that the HERALD was tho
best paper in the United States? II ia, beyond all
doubt and s looked for by its Philadelphia readers
with as much anxiety as if 1t were the only paper in
the country.

NEW YORK, March 8, 1852.
SIR:-Some one has furnished you with report of
the last meeting of the Young Mems Wing General
Committee, which desire corrected in one particu-
lar. Your reporter notes that my particular friend
w. f. jackson, moved series of resolutions for my
expulsion, which is correct so far it goes; but the
report does not state Alderman Jackson's reasons.
The Alderman moved these resolutions because he
ing the proceedings of the committee and they
were ruled out by my friends, who wore opposed to
such a summary process of cutting off reporting as
this. AS your reporter states, Alderman jackson is
sick and tired of the eternal wrangng about report
ing every night the committee meets, and has an
nounced his intention Of ceasing hostiities, to me
especially. as to my connection with tho aforesaid
reports. The Alderman is quite clever fellow, and
one of the seventeen honorable men who refused
to pledge themselves to adhere TO tho ridiculous re-
solution adopted at the last meeting, pledging the
honor of the delegates Uhos soting in the a1irma-
tive rising in their seats, aud 50 airning) not to
dyulgc its proceedings. Although voting against
this resolution, do not feel authorized to di-
your paper says, 1t is most disgraceful resolution,
and unworthy of tho representatives Of the young
wings of this city, than whom there are not any
holder and drawer spirits in the land. l question
much whether the young wings of this city will
countenance such operations as were enacted last
Friday evening, to the disgrace of oil concerned,
when all the facts are submitted to their consdera-
tion. Although much of the action of the COM
mittee was particularly aimed at me, will make
TO public divulgement OF it, but indulge the hope
that, at a full meeting Of the committee, it will
all be struck from the minutes of body which
has occupied so respectable position in former
years, before some of its oficious members at
tempted the labor of love of improving the reports of
the free press of this city--a thing which cannot DO
done in this age of steam and lightning teegraphs.
Please make this correction, in justice to Alderman
jackson and myself, and oblige

Used world tor SIX hundred years; but after whils,
much ~ city. There toe n.nch Capitalization,
and tho number Of people who bad a share in tho
government wss consequently very magnificent.
Passing, in review, from To Bounding Of Rome, BY
Romulss, to the tims ef Ausrssus, fhs founder Of
the republic. and coming down to the period whom
Constantine removed tho government to Constsnti-
nople the lecturer traced the decline of the Roman
empire. This transfer forced them TO withdraw hor
armies from England and other portions Of Europe;
and the western portion Of this mighty empire went
down. From that day to this, Italy has had scpa-
sion Of northern Italy after whom, tho Lornbards
broke in, and named that portion now known rs
Lombardy. The Saracens overrunnng the southern
part OF Italy, the Roman empire was divided, and
In that and the succeeding century, a great many
free cities grew up; and, in process Of time dozen
or more small republics rose up in that couptry In
tho course OF time these were also overthrow, in
consequence OF tho comforting Of too much power
upon few families. Coming down to the present
time the lecturer stated that thore now exists in
the Apprentices, small republic, called San Marine.
IT boasts of IN existence of fourteen centuries. 1t
contains ve small villages, and about thousand
inhabitants. Their government consists of two Con-
sus, called Captains, who arc elected every three
months, anda legislature of 300 members. Their
saamohmg army some years since consisted Of forty
security Of this republic lies in its nsignfcance.
Both Charlemagne and Napoleon passed them by as
unworthy Of conquest In regard to the Italians Of
the present day, the lecturer contonded that ncor
rect opinions had been formed of them by Ameri-
cans: They were not lazy people. They might
be idle, because they have nothing to do, being so
miserably governed. They are a bright and quick
witted people, and possess much intelligence as
any other people in Europe. If thoy had training
like our New England people, in two centuries they
would be the first people in Europe. The lecturer
attributed their present condition to the Catholic
church, which tells them, "all you have got to do
is to believes" and to the State which says, all
you have got to do is to obey" He then referred
to the fine arts, for which Italy is celebrated Archi-
lecture and sculpture had fourished beyond mea-
sure They had also fine paintings, and the country
was full Of good musicians The music of the finest
churches in largest cities is not to DO compared
with the music in many of their parish churches.
Eloquence, however, had not fourishod in that
country, in consequence Of tho strctness Of the GO
vernment. The reverend lecturer concluded his lee
ture amidst round Of applause.
