by diMissing the complaint.
The New England Society celebrated the two
hundred and thirty-nxth anniversary Of the landing
of the Pilgrim Fathers and the ffty-6rst Of their
organization, by q grand banquet at the Aston
House last evening. Col. Thomas III. Benton made
speech on the occasion, laudatory OF the people OF
New England, descriptive of the happiness and
comfort OF her artzans and factory operatives and
asserting that in no part Of the United States were
the great masses of the people more devoted to the
Union Of these States than they are in New Eng
land. Speeches were also made by Joe Hoxie, DR.
Storrs, Mr. Fillmore Of the London Times, the Pre-
sidents of the various other benevolent societies,
&c. Letters were also read from Mr.. Peabody, Mr..
Banks, Mayor Wood, Governor-elect King, and
others. The affair a very pleasant and agree
able one. A junior association Of New Englanders
celebrated the day by ball and supper at the La
FARCE House.
Lieut.. Marry delivered very interesting lecture
last evening in DR.. Hutton's church, upon the
" Paths of the Sea-" Notwithstanding a dreary
snow storm, the house was crowded with highly
intelligent audience. The subject Of the lecture was
rather novel one, but more interesting and none
the less important for that. 1t was skifully treat.
ed, and the rapt attention Of the audience
plainly expressed their satisfaction and pleasure in
listening to it. Lieut.. Maury az clearly explains
and presents the structure, geography and condi-
ton Of the great deep, as Newton did the laws,
principles and courses of the planetary worlds and
the fiery orbs of the upper deep. Our report Of the
lecture is unavoidably crowded out to-day.
The value of foreign goods imported at the port
of Boston during The week ending 10Th instant,
amounted to 1892 07s.
The cotton market displayed more activity yes
terday, and the sales embraced about 5000 bales,
including part in transtu, but chiefly from store, at
full prices, the market closing firm. Flour con-
tinued in fair demand, and firm at Saturdays quota

ness Of holders FAT Southern white sold at 81 II,
and choice do. Mary land at 81 80. Corn was in
moderate request, with limited sales at 69c. zoe.

and Southern yellow at 75c. Pork was in fair de-
mand at SO I24 $40 % tor old mess, and at SO
621 $50 so for new do Sugars were quiet, aud
sales confined to about 200 hhds Cuba mnscovado, in

The SHIPwRECKs on JERSEY SHoRE.-We give
the particulars this morning Of the two ship
wrecks at Barnegat, mentioned in the HERALD Of
yesterday. The New York and Tasso went
ashore on Friday night last. The New York hal
three hundred passengers. According TO Our
report these poor people were cast upon tue
beach without shelter or food. and have remain
there three or four days and nights, in cold. Ia
rain and in snow. Their suiierings can be
imagined. No assistance was sent TO them till
yesterday and it is doubtful whether or not a
steamtug could relieve them from the sea. Many
of them have undoubtedly persisted. With these
terrible facts in view it Is gratifying to learn
that the bin providing for revenue steamtug
passed the Senate yesterday. IL had previously
passed the House. But meanwhile TO the build
ing Of this steamer something should be done to
provide steamboats, for use during this winter
Our merchants, for humanity's sake, for the
credit Of New York, for their own individual
reputation, should adopt means at once to enable
immediate assistance to be sent to the unfortu-
mates who may be cast by the storm upon our
coast. Our members of Congress should take
the matter in hand, and urge the passage Of
bill for the more efficient organization of the
life-saving guard at the exposed points Let
them read the letter from our correspondent
published in another column, and act upon its
painful suggestions. Now il the time TO act
The winter may be very severe one; there will
be more wrecks; more terrible suffering will be
experienced. Let it be alleviated; let 1t be pre-
vented.

The PENNINGTON CAsE-NEGRo DRAWBACKS
NORTH AND SoUrH.-The Rev. Mr.. Pennington, a
respectable colored clergyman Of this city, re-
Gently brought suit tor damages against the
Sixth Avenue Railroad Company, in consequence
of having been elected from one Of the compa-
nys cars, in which :" eolored persons are not
allowed TO ride" The reverend plaintiff restel
his cause upon the right Of citizen in the
premises, without regard TO color; but our Supe-
rior Court non suited him, and gave decision IN
favor Of the right of the defendants to discrm-
nate between white folks aud "colored people"
The plaintiff has moved TO carry up his case to
the Court Of Appeals but we presume that this
decision viii be there sustained, for it unques-
tionably harmonizes with the Law of public OPT
Mon in these latitndes in reference TO riding in
the same conveyance and on footing Of equality
with "niggers.' Upon this point our Northern
people are remarkably squeamish, while we know
that all over the South il il quite common
thing 10 see master or mistress and slave, whites
and blacks, occupying the same seat in the same
stage or car, without any symptom of turned
up nose on account Of the presence of Pomp or
Dinab. The tact liz, our Northern niger philan-
thropy ID an immense humbug- something like
Barnum's Feejee mermaid when we come to dis
sect it, with the head of a baboon and the tail Of
a Goldfish.

ANOTHER ELECTORAL COLLEGE SPEAKING Or.

their vote for Mr.. Buchanan as President "unani-
mousy recommended the Hon. William l..
Yancey for place in the Cabinet" Very good
II Virginia can do this sort Of thing, why not
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, and all the
rest that gave their vote for Mr.. Buchanan ~
As far as Mr.. Yancey'sreal merits are concerned,
If we are not mistaken, he is a roaring, red hot
flaming and flippant disunionist Of the Barnwel

The New YORK OFFIcEs.-We publ sh else
where communication on the subje t Of the
offices in the gift Of the President elect in this
State, and containing list of the candidates
for EACH 1t viii be perceived that it is pro-
posed to give Mr.. Buchanan a great deal of
trouble in connection with these offices.
Mr.. Polk did no more foolish or prejudical act
in the course of his career than his misguided
distribution Of the New York offices between the
two factions into which the democratic party Of
this city was at that time divided. This was, in
fact, the commencement of the trouble which
led to the overthrow of the democracy by Tay-
lor. Poor Pierce did not know enough to avoid
committing the same blunder. lie too divided
his offices between the factions thus strengthen
ing both, and handing the State over to the
enemy. He and his policy are clearly RESPONSE
bic for the state in which the canvass of 1856
found the democracy of the State of New York.
If Mr. Buchanan desires to dispose of this
question of the New York Offices on a clear and
plain basis he will pursue different plan.
Seeing two hostile factions, each claiming offices,
he will come to the conclusion that one of the
two spurious: he will assume that the demOcra-
cy is one and indivisible, and that all democrats
who do not belong to that democracy have
no claim to recognition or reward. This princi-
pie settled, the popular voice will be his guide to
ascertain which of the two factions is the real and
which the sham or spurious democracy; he will
discover which of the two polled the largest vote
at the last election, and will Immediately recog-
nize it and give to it all the Offices This method
will extinguish the other faction, for the rank and
file, not being Office seekers, will pass over to the
faction recognized by the President; the leaders
will be killed off,
Further, Mr.. Buchanan will find it a good
principle to choose his oficeholders from
residents in the place where they are to serve.
1t is bad plan to choose men from the country
to hold office in New York, as poor Pierce did
If there be choice yet to be made, obvious
principles will guide the judgment; as the city
went for Buchanan while the State went against
him, city men apparently should be preferred
to men from the country towns; and those wis,
in this city, contributed so largely to save he
State Of Pennsylvania seemingly deserve especial
regard. The fortunate men should fulfil all these
conditions
