INTERNATIONAL CoURTEsEs.-We are gratiied
to perceive that an appeal which we made to
the New York Chamber of Commerce, in our
issue of Tuesday last in regard to the extension
Of complimentary Acknowledgements to the off,
GERS of the British vessels engaged in laying the
telegrsphic cable, as well as to those of the Mia
CARA, was not without its good effect At the
meeting OF the Chamber on the previous Satur-
day, resolutions had been adopted, the object of
which was to have measures taken to present
proper testimonial to Captain Hudson and the
officers and engineers of the Niagara, ignoring
altogether the equally strong claims of the off.
GERS of the Agamemnon, the Gorgon and the
Valorous. We believed that the omission arose
rather from inadvertance than design and 30
we appealed to the justice and Hberality of our
Chamber Of Commerce to correct the error,
and to extend the came compliments and &C.
acknowledgements to the gallant officers of the
British vessels as should be made to those of the
Niagara, and to the petty officers and tars, also
Of the ships of beth nations.
The anlende honorable has been made. The
Committee Of the Chamber and of the mer-
chants, to whom the subject was referred, held
a meeting on Friday, at which 1t was unani-
mously resolved that the same mark of respect
to be paid by the city of New York to Captain
Hudson and the officers of the Niagara, with
Mr.. Field, Mr.. Everett, Mr.. Woodhouse and
Lieutenant Bergman, be also extended 10 the
officers Of the Agamemnon, Gorgon and Valor-
ous In order says the resolution, that the recog-
milton of the services Of these men may render
the action Of the committee International in its
character.
That was the very argument which we took
the liberty Of submitting to the committee, and
we are gratfed that the committee has recog-
nized the force of it. All testimonials in con-
nection with the Atlantic cable should be inter-
national in their character; and even II those of
the English government and people be not ex-
tended to the officers Of the Niagara con-
tingency which we do not anticipate-still our
city will be sufficiently rewarded for its libe-
rality by the reflection that no exclusiveism was
INDUCED in by us. That is as It should be.

AND SABBATARnS CoSvESrroSs.-The black re-
publicans and Choctaws, and hard shells and
soft shells, who flock to Syracuse from all parts
Of the State within the next fortnight, are not
by any means to have a monopoly of conven-
tons in that quarter of the world. The repre-
sentatives of all the combined isms of the day,
from Rochester knockings to the beauties of
free love, are prepared to take advantage of the
political gatherings, and have issued q call for
a philanthropic convention, Ito overcome evil
with good" at Utica, on the 10th, 18th and
18th Of September. And the Sabbatarans, who
affect to believe that the cooking of leg Of
mutton, or the running of q steamboat or rail-
road car on Sunday is one of the seven deadly
sins, have called State Convention of the
friends Of the Sabbath, at Syracuse, on Tuesday.
the 18th Of September.
II will be hard II, among the shining lights of |
these two Conventions, some notable plan for |
the immediate attainment of the millennium |
should not be devised. The philantbropic con- |
yention refers all the calamities Of mankind 10 |
existing laws. systems and institutions. and be- |
Iieves that through it's means there can be rot |
mp more ennobling institutions and philan.
thropic systems Of education. What these are
the call does not intimate, though from the ma
ority OF the names attached to IL we might
naturally infer that among some OF the rcforms
70 be effected are the abolition Of all forms OF
church worship and observances; the establish
nent, in their place, of some form Of spiritual
SIN the suppression of marriage relations, and
The putting into practice Of Mrs. Branch's pecu-
isr doctrines ss TO the right Of women TO bear
'hildIen to whomsoever they may please.
These are probably to he the chief points In the
platform of the pnilanthropic convention.
