It consists at times of a lowdeep moaning, repeated five or six times, ending in llntly audible sighs j at other times he startles thoforest with loud, deep toned, solemn roars, repeated five or six times in quick succession, each Increaalugta loud ness of the third and fourth, when his volco dea away in five or six muffled sounds, very, much resembling distant thunder. At times, and not unfrequently.a troop may bo heard in concert, one assumieg the lead, and two, threo or four more singiug a catch.— Like our Bcottiah stags, they roar loudest In cold, frosty nights; but on no occasion are their voices to bo heard in such perfection, or so intensely powerful, as when two or three strange troops of lions approach a fountain to drink at tho sarao time. When this oc curs. every member of each troop sounds a bold roar of defiance st the opposite parties ; and when one roars, all roar together, and each seems to vie with his comrades in the intensity and power of bis voice. The power and grandeur of those nocturnal forest concerts is Inconceivably striking and pleasing to tho hunter’s ear. The effect la greatly enhanced when tho hearer happens to bo situated in the depths of the forest at th« dead hour of midnight, unaccompanied by any attendant, and ensconced within twenty yards of the fountain which the surrounding troop of lions are approaching. Such has been my situation many scores of times, snd though I am allowed to have a tolerably good taste for music, I consider tho catches which I am regaled with, as tho sweetest aud most natoral I overheard. As a general rule, lionB roar during the night, their sighing moans commencing as tbo shades of cveninr envelope the forest, and continuing at intervals du. ring the night. In distant and secluded regions, I have constantly heard them roaring loudly as late as 0 or 10 o’clock on a bright, sunny morning. In hazy and rainy weather,they are to bo heard at every hour in the day, but their roar is subdued. It often hap pens that when two strongo male Hons meet at a fountain a terrific combat ensues, which not nnfre- qucntly ends in tho death of ono of them. Tho habits of the lion are strictly nocturnal; during tho day ho lies concealed beneath the shade of some low busby tree or wide spreading bosh, within the level forest, or on the mountain side. He is also partial to lofty reeds or fields of long rank yellow grass, occurring in lowly valleys. When he is successful in Ills catch, and has secured his prey, ho does not roar much that night, only uttering occasionally a few low moans; that is, provided no intruders approach him, other wise the case would bo veiy different. I remarked a fact connected with tho lion’s hour of drinking peculiar to themselves; they scorned unwill ing to vhutthe fonntains with good moonlight. Thus when tho moon rose early, tho lions deferred their watering until lato in the morning; and when the moon rose late, they drank at an early hour in tho night. Owing to the tawny color of the coat with which nature has robed him, he is perfectly invisible in tho dark; and although I have often heard them lapping tho water under my very nose, not twenty yards from mo, I could not possibly raako out so much as the outline of their forms. when a thirsty lion comes to water, ho stretches out his massive arms, lies down on his breast to drink, and makes a load lapping noise not to be mistaken. Ho continues lapping up the water for a long while, and four or five times dur ing tho proceeding he pauses for half a minute, os if to tako a breath. One thing conspicuous about them Is their eyes, which in a dark night, glow liko two balls of fire.—C'ummtng’s Hunter's Life in South Africa. Health In Hot Weather.' Fow things are castor than to lose one’s health in hot wdather. Yet nothing is bo easy to maintain if the right coarse is followed. It is not even necessary to invent new panaceas, or to suggest novel modes of life, In order to keep disease at arm’s longth in July and August. Tho whole secret consists in adopting the advice, so often given by physicians, to avoid excess. And by this is meant, not merely ex cess in drinking, bnt also excess in eating, in exer cising, and in all things. Every man of sense knows liow fallacious is tho Idea that pouring down heating Bhcrry-coblers and other pernicious drinks, will cool one’s person. But not every man is willing to admit that gorging himself with tartle soup, lobster, or oth er delicacies that overtask tho digestive organs, are dangerous to health still more. Many, who will con cede that exxesslve indulgence at table is injurious, would stare if told that their absorbing devotion to business is liable to prostrate them, at any moment, victims to the dlsordora of tho season. Yet any thing, which weakons tho vital powers, leaves the bod} comparatively defenceless against tho assaults of Bickneas. To exhaust, in this way, and especially in summer, one’s capacity to resist disease, is to act liko a General, who, at tho approach of an enemy, should weary ont his army In useless evolutions, so that, when the battle camo to ho joined, his soldiers would be too fatigued to fight. If one is forced even to remain In the city, health may generally be preserved by avoidingexasss. Had the seventy who died of sudden death, in Now York nnd Philadelphia, within the last fortnight, abstained from working so much in tho sun, from drinking in toxicating liquors, or from swallowing largo quanti ties of cold water, they might have been living to this day. But it is not alono thoso who remain in town, wo should remember, who should avoid excess. The too comuioo idea, that, at a watering plaeo. one can eat, drink, and exercise without limit, has killed many a foolish victim. To fish all day under a broiling sun may not injure persons accustomed to such exposure, but it can do no good, at least, to people used to city life ; and when tho fishing Is accompanied by copious draughts of brandy, or other inflammatory drink, as is often the case, is pretty sura to do harm. So to sit up to lato terrapin suppers, or to drink jnlops all the morn ing, or to commit othor excessos quite ordinary at watering places, Is not the road to health. Ana if one sox snould avoid excesses in ono way, tho other sex should In nnothor. Ladies who dance all night cannot exnect to return to town with roses on their cheeks. In a word, people of proper habits can defy even the sultriest weather, llut liorsons guilty of excesses, no matter of what description, dismantle the fortress of health, and, as it were, invito the ene my to enter.—Phila. Ledger. From the Baltimore American, 15th Inst. Opening of the Crystal Palace. Yesterday was a great day in Now York. Tho President of tho United States was received in tho city and the Crystal Palace opened with imposing and appropriate ceremonies. The exertions of tho • last few days seem to have gone far towards prepar ing the Exhibition for public examination, though much is yet to be done. Tbo Now York Herald, of ye Thosf wS^havo heretofore entertained doubts of -- - • • 3 **— A.y of the In i';' The^reoldent’s Trip. P*Wont Pixjui and the oombsrs of bU Cabinet who aioompanlid him, seem to have bcenroootvod wlth tl • utmost enthusiasm wherever they itopped on tee i Northern tour, Maoh of this may have grown outof iroapeot to the Presidential office—yet much more, loubtlosi, ont of the popularity of the adminis tration. For, say what his opponents may, It Is nev- crtheless true that General Pixnoa Is one of tho moat popular Pjwtdenta that tho Union lias ever had.— True, Indeed»disappointed office eeekora are In many place* complaining. But thli waa to have boon ex- peend. Particular cliques, too, are dissatisfied that mow favor has not boon shown thorn. Yet what caw 'great body of tho American people for all this? it care they who fill the offices, provided tboy are ill filled 7 And that they are woll flllod—filled by ien competent to tho dlsohargo of tholr duties—la »ved by tbo foot that there Is not a murmur of com- ilalnt against Gen. Piinca’a appointees on the aooro if fidelity or capacity. Ho is blaraod for appointing Jiff. Davib Secretary of War, becauso ho waa a se cessionist ; for appointing John A. Dix Sub-treasur er, becauso ho waa a Barnburner ? yet no ono has lmd the boldness to say that elthor of these gentlemen la not admirably qualified to dlsohargo tho duties of bis post. The troth is, hostility to tho Administration,grow ing out of disappointment either of individuals or cliques, iu not receiving office, is in Its character too thoroughly selfish to command tho sympathies of tho American people. On tho other hand, they are not slow to express, in terms indicative of their warmest enthusiasm, their admiration of a Chief Magistrate who they believe to be governed, in whatever he does, by devotion to the interests of the country. Wo are therefore not at all surprised at tho cordiality with which he Is everywhere received. Ttac Weather and tho Crops. Yesterday our city and vicinity was again greeted with a succession of moat refreshing showers, reduc ing the atmosphere, to a delightful temperature, and clothiig all nature in holiday attire. Tho crops of ovory description in this vicinity appear to be In a most lourlsblng condition, having nearly or quito re covered tho ill effects of tho lato drought. Our ex changes, in nearly every direction, speak in hopefol terms of tho cropB, occasioned by the receptlon,of re- cout fine showers. There is no donbt, however, hat in somo places in this and adjoining States the dry season has very seriously affected the crops—Indeed to so great an extent as to oblige many farmers to bo- corao purchasers of breadstuff's instead of sellers. The timoly rains now acknowledged will doubtless avert, In a great dogreo, the wide spread destruction that waa so imminently threatened ; for which devout thanksgiving to an overruling Providence should not bo withheld. The total value of tho foreign exports of Baltimore, says the American, for tho week ending on Thursday, was $213,014. Tho export of breadatuffa for the week b&s been light, comprising but 5,144 barrels of flour, 695 barrels of corn meal, and 450 bushels of corn. Of tobacco, 3,423 hogshoads wore exported; mnking the total oxport of the year 20,284 hogsheads, against 20,1*1 to tho same time last year. 11 Hoxor to whom honor is due.—Tho City Coun cil on Thnrsdny last passed an ordinanco dividing the city into font dispensary districts, and providing for the election offour physicians, to furnish tho desti tute sick in they* districts with modicineB, and med ical and surgical advice. The election of physicians is to tako placo at the noxt regular meeting of Council. This wo regard as a moat wise and humano ordinanco, and have no doubt of the practical utility of its provisions. The character of Savannah, oa a healthy city, has suffered immeasurably from the number of deaths which an nually occur among the destitute portion of our pop. illation, who die oftener from want and neglect than from endemic diseases. Whatever of good may result to the pity or to suf fering humanity from the provisions of thf 8 ordinance, the credit is duo to onr cotemporary of iho Evening Journal, with whom tho idea originated, and who urged tho matter upon tho consideration of Council with zeal and ability. As tho Journal has imt gained an audioncc at tho Council board, we hope it will press other neocssary improvements in onr sana tory regulations. The chairman of tho Lane commit tee of the Journal office is entitled to a hearing before Council on tbeio subjects.”— Republican vf yesterday. Now, far he it from ns to detract from the credit of brother Lane—yet 44 honor to whom honor is due." It will bo seen by perusal of tho following ex tract from tho proceedings of council in January 1851, that the idea of 14 dividing tho city into four dispen sary districts” did not originate with our cotempora ry of tho Evening Journal: RETORT READ. Tbo Committee on Health, to whom wm referred the subject of supplying tho sick poor with inedlcinov have tad tho same under consideration, nnd after a careful ex amination of all the circumstance* connected with the svs- tem hithorto in practice, haro arrived at the conclusion that that system *hould be abandoned.

Every laborer who could wield a hammer, hang a curtain, or undo a package, stretched every nerve to accomplish the utmost In his particular v<> cation. Nearly every exhibitor was at his post, and the suddon change from the appearanoo of tho palace on Tuesday, seemed to be the result of some super natural power. The long drawn aisles, which ofl Tuesday presented the appearance of a lumber yard' yesterday sparkled with all the gems of science an< art. The curtain had fallen from the statue, the rough box hod revealed Its treasure, tho life-like Image wel comed you from the canvass, and the mysterious ma chine having become perfect by tho unity of Its parts, excited tbs wonder of the Bjwctator. We understand all hands will work during the entire night, and to morrow till the commencement of the opening cere monies. An immense amount of work can be accom- S liahed within that time, and wo Judge; tbo display tea made will satisfy the expectations of all. Nev ertheless, It is evident that it will be impossible to fully prepare all the articles for examination under a fortnight or three weeks. It Is a misfortune that the entire work on the Palace, and tbo unpacking of the goods, had not been completed before the time of its inauguration. Bat wo are informed that it could not he avoided, aa every laborer who could be Induced to work upon the Palace has been employed, and every moans wiiVin human power has been used to effect its timely oom*lotlon. The New Yovt.'Uommercaal says: Our roadere are perhaps not aware that over 1,000 package* have already been received; that ovor 1,400 more art in the Custom-house, waiting to be passed; that 700 or 800 more are known to be on board ships already in tbe harbor: and that a Urge number, of which no toco rate estimate, or ooune, can yet be made, are on their way across the sea. These have been contributed by Great Britain, France, Belgium. Italy, Holland, Austria, and our own oountry, and rapidly being placed in order.

The Importations from the United States were larger than ever Iteforo known within tho memory of tho oldest merchants. Fish would scarcely bring the duties paid on them. Pork, Flour and Butter were selling at less than tho invoice prices. Coffee and Logwood wore scarce. Coffee on board brought SliOperlOO lbs. Logwood $80 per 1000 pounds.— Doubloons $270. In other matters thorn was no par ticular movement. The abundant supply of products for the United States will tend to keep down prices for some timo to come. From tho naUlmore American. 15th inst.

At 10 o'clock this morning the committee of tho City Council, together with the Committee of Recep tion, arrived at Castle Garden, Imvlng the President of the United States and suite In chargo, accompanied by Governor Fort, of New Jersey, whilst salute’s were being fired from Governor’s and Bcdlow's Isl and, and from the Battery, under the direction of Brigadier Gen. Morris. After entering Costlo Garden, which was thronged with people, tho President waa formally welcomed to the city by the Mayor, to which ho responded in a neat and appropriate speech, which waa recelvod with great enthusiasm. Tho first division of military were stationed on tho battery, with an iromonso throng or spectators, and was reviewed by the President, on horseback, amid the shouts anu tho hurrahs of tho multitude. The proccsaiou waa then formed, and was full one hour in passing out of the Battery. The parade waa very splendid, but a severe Btorm of rain 1 .. . - t-l.w.ntnfl 111. AnnlntlAm nf tha tpAnn, At two o’clock the cortege reached the Crystal Pal- aob. and the President and Cabinet wore conducted to a platform on tbo north nave, where wore also as sembled Generals Scott and Wool, Gov. Hunt, and other distinguished personages from home and abroad. On tte platform on tbo east nave, wore the officers of the army and navy, British officers, mayors of differ ent cities, foreign consuls, mayor aud counoils of New York, and various public functionaries. The opening prayer was delivered by the Right Rev. Bishop walnwright, followed by an anthem sung by the New York Harmonic, and accompanied by tbo National Guard’s Band. The President was wolcomed byTheo. Sedgwick, In a neat address, to which ho replied In a very short speech, pleading bis inability to speak at length. Hs seemed very much fatigued. The ceremonlos were then closed with Handel's celebrated Hallelujah Chores, from the 44 Messiah,” which, sang by an im mense chores, produced a magnificent musical effect. While tho guests were occupied in viewing the Ex hibition, a grand concert was given by Dodsworth's and the National Guard’s Band.

Having en joyed themselves there, quietly, for some timo, they returned to their quarters at the City Hotel, and re tired with the hopo of getting an uninterrupted re pose for tho night. But they were doomed to disap- nolntmcnt—not sadly, however, as the reader will in fer when he learns tho cause of it, whioh was a vocal serenade. This waa given by the German Clee Club of Newark, in strains whiou no slurobor, however sweet—no, not even old Bomnus himself—could have defiod, so eoohanting were they. Tbe President and Cabinet Ministers made their appearanoo on tho bal cony, and gave most decided ovldenco of tholr great ful appreciation of tho oompliment of this unexpected serenade. Thereafter they obtained a refreshing sleep, which was no doubt unusually welcome, DEPAUTUBH FROM NEWARK. At 8 o’clock this morning a special train arrived from Joraoy City, under chargo of John 1»; Jackson, Vice President ortho Hoad, bearing to Newark Alder men Brisloy and Stewart, of tho New York Municipal Committee, and Alderman Layton and A.H. Wallis, Esq., as a Special Gommltteo, from Jersey City. To tho Jersey City Committee tho President and Ida friends wore then transferred by Mayor Quinby, orNewnrk, Ex-Mayor Vanderpool, N. Porry, Presi dent of tbo Board of Aldermen of that city, aud oth ers or tho Local Committee, In whoso hands they lmd been, so comfortably, during tholr stay. On the train to Joraoy wo also observed Senators Thompson aud Wright, of New Jersey, and other distingulscd gen tlemen of the locality. Also, there was la company, Col. Prico, tho Chairman of tho Philadelphia Com mittee, Mr. Yard, of the Trenton escort, non. Thom as B. Florence, Col. J. W. Forney, and othor promi nent personages from that city and elsewhere. An Itnraenso throng was at the Railroad station,, awaiting tbo procession of carriages which bore tho Pre8ldeut’s Company thither from the hotel, from which clicors upon cheers proceeded, as tho cars de parted for Jersey City. At the latter point tbo train arrived a few minutes before O’ o’clock, where au im mense and fomenting concourse of eager people of all classes, and ages and sexes crowded around the cars, and almost took the National Chief out of tho hands of tho Committees. RECEPTION OF THE PRESIDENT AT JERSEY CITY. Tbo reception at Jersoy City was very enthusiastic, and iu view of the brevity of tbo time allowed for it was vory orcditablo. Officials and oitlzons of all par ties vied .with each other in paying respect to the * Chief Magistrate of tho nation. During the morning the members of tho Common Council Coramitteo were busily engaged in prepara tions. Tho national flags were displayed from tho S ubllc buildings, hotels, ferry boats and shipping; le military were assembling in the streets and citi zens gathering to greet the President ou bis arrival. Soon after 8 o'clock, os the time for his arrival ap- proachod, the bells of the churches wero rung and guns were firod. A large concourse of people col lected In and near Washington-st., where tlio military were rifowu up iu lino under command of Gen. E. It. V. Wright. The following companies were uuder arms: Tho Continental Guard,Capt. Pollard; Fink Guard. Lieut. Carman ; Montgomery Guard, Captain Farrell; aud Wright Independent Rules, Capt. Stalb. At 8| o’clock the special train, containing the Pres ident aud suite, members of the Jersey City Commit tee, Aid. Narine, Chairman, and others, arrived.— Stopping at Washington streot, where tho appear anco of tho President upon the platform of tue car was greeted with great cheering by tho assemblage, which blocked up tbe street, filled tbe windows, and occupied all the available space In the vicinity. The President Immediately mounted a grey horse in wait ing and reviewed the military—receiving tho custom ary salutes as ho passed. Tho military then passed in review; and forming, escorted the procession a short distance through two or throe streets, stopping at the platform in the Park, where Mayor Manners welcomed him. Along the route of their march there were cheers, waving of handkerhiefs, and other de monstrations. Mayor Manners spoke as follows: Mr. President: On behalf of tho authorities, and in tho name of the people of Jersey City, I bid you wel come. Wc are proud that you liavo kindly favored us with an opportunity to express to you personally our sincere regards for your private worth and pub lic services. Language would full to portray, and tho tongue to give utterance to tho lively sstisfoction and grateful emotions that have been awakened in anticipation of this visit of tho distinguished person —tlio Chief Magistrate of our Nation. It is not ex pected, nor will yonr valuable timo permit mo to raako protracted remarks. Allow me then, therefore, to tender to you the cordial welcomo of Jersey City. My follow-citizons, I now have the honor toprescut to you the President of the United States. The President briefly responded: Mr. Mayor: I thank you for tho very warm recep tion you have given me in your city ; but I bavo not time to make extended remarks on this occasion. I hope, on somo future occasion, to liavo au opportunity of addressing your citizens. Escorted by tlio military, tlio President and others proceeded to the Josephine at the Cunard Dock, foot or tiraud-st. DEPARTURE OF TnE STEAMBOAT JOSEPHINE.

Among tbe notabilities on i*~wi General Wool and staff, and a largo number of our most respcctoblo citizens, among whom were the fol lowing as the Crystal Palace Committee of reception: Messrs. Belmont, Waddell, Livingston, Edmonds, Hamilton. A number of guns wore fired from the boat as she left the pier and proceeded down the Bay. Tlio Uni ted States Band, consisting of eighteen musicians, from Governor’s Island enlivened tlio occasion with various notional and patriotic airs. On reaching the Jersey City shore, tho band ceased and a grand salute was fired by Captain Castles and bis aids. The police arrangement of the route were under the command of Captain Hopkins, of the Third Ward. At 8 o'clock the Josephine landed at the steam boat titer, Jersey City, alongside the Cunard Steam ship Dock. A number of flags were flying from tho different houses in the vicinity, but no other signs of the ap proaching event wore visible, if wo except tlio assem blage nf night-seers which thronged tho wharf. A few minutes, however, sufficed to chango the scene materially. Amid the roar of cannon, various Rifle and Continental Companies began to make their ap- Dcnranco, and tbe guns from tlio boats were answered by those on shore. Mr. Nirurao, of the Cunard Company, with a com pany of assistants, were in readiness at the wharf, with a railed gangway, which they ran on tho steam boat, and tbe railings of which they draped with the various signals of the steamship Arabia. The floor of tho gangway was covered with a splendid carpet nnd rugs from tho Arabia’s saloon. After a slight cessation of firing, tho salutes were resumed from the boat and returned from the shore. At 9 o’clock tbo Comraitteo appointed by the town meeting of the City and County of Philadelphia, consisting of the following gentiomen: John Prin. Wetbcrili, the Chairman and President of tho Com mon Council,Pierce Butler, Morton M'Micliael, Hugh Campbell, Georgo H. Martin, who accompanied tho President from Philadelphia, lost evoning, arrived on hoard, and were received by tho Common Council of New York. At 9.1 o’clock an Immense crowd announced tho approach of the President. In a fow seconds tho pro cession camo in sight and wore greeted with a perfect roar of artillery from the boat and shore. A salute of twenty-one guns were firet? from tho steamship Arabia. Tlio President came on board, led by Aid. Brisley, end tho Chairman of the Jersey City Com mittee. where lie was greeted by tremendous cheers, and a passage waa opened for bun through the crowd. Tho dcckof tho Arabia was crowded, and three hearty cheers were given for the President. Tlio President was led aft and introduced to a number of distinguished oitlzons, and also to tbe Deputation of the Brooklyn Common Council. Aid. Graham said be camo to tender to him the hospitali ties of the City of Brooklyn. The President replied tlint ho would bo moBt happy to visittlie citizons of Brooklyn, but lie could not ap point a day at present, but ho should bo glad to meet the Coramitteo at the Astor House. Tho crowd bocomiug very dense, and the President appearing quite overcome the Committee conducted him to thu upper deck of tbe bout, where lie wa3 compelled to tako refuge in the wheel bouse, accom panied by Mr. Webster, to avoid the enthusiasm of the citizens. Tho Band struck up a lively air, and the President was permitted to liavo a little rest. The Boat was then backed from the wharf, and as she passed tlio Cunarder, a saluto was fired by her in return, and three cheers were given from her assem bled passengers. Tho ^jabia responded by dipping her ensign. At one timo it was feared that the nppor deck or the steamboat would give way, so great was tbo rush to tho vicinity of tho President. The President was finally relived by preventing any more persons from f ining up. Tho boat steamed down tho buy to Btatcn aland, where more powder was exploded. On passing Fort Ilillsley, no saluto waa giving.— approaching the Battery tne whole of the gallery and available apace was densely crowded, and ten thous and ohcere burst from ten thousand throats, os a peo ple’s welcome tho First Magistrate of Republican America! The guns of the Fort and of the Battery belched forth a louder greeting. Tho President stood on tlio forward part or tho boat with hat in hand, and repeatedly bowed to the crowd, and, amid much cheering and crowding, he was conducted ashore, where tlioy wore received by tho Light Guards and conducted Into the building. TnE PRESIDENT AT CA8TLK OARDEN.

For the first time I address, within their own borders, tbe citizens of the Empire City, now, beyond nil controversy, tho commercial metropolis of our blessed Union. The rapidity, Sir, with which Now York has arisen to so commanding a position as one of tho most important cities upon the globe, has no parallel In history. Al ready tho enterprise of your merchants, the genius of yonr ship-builders, the daring spirit of your vast tra ding marine, are beginning to make yon first in tbe markets of the world. Here, my oountrymon—hero In New York—will tbe ledger of Commcrco kooptho accounts of tbe nations of the earth. Near tbe spot on which we stand there are strlk- Ing points which jn$rk tiiq amazing rapidity ot yen; MORNING, JULY 19,^1853. nan brink.. .XI la a revered relio of a past age. HoW surprised, possibly, even of the young men of the pro* I oht day would bo, ir they wero fully to realise that lx years after Its erection the waters of the North River flowed almost to Ha foundation t and that; for north of whore threo great parallel streets now teem with ootlvlty and enterprise, was the sandy landing of boots upon that then freo aud unolroumscrilxid river. How difficult Is it at tbU period to realize that the llral to or the city at that date extended not beyond Murray-st,, and that there wore even within that boundary many vacant lots, and that tho population hardly rxoooded twenty thousand. Shall we speak of tlio future 7 How can we, when wo revert to the calculations of really wise men of tho past, who, If I am not misinformed, built the north wall of the City Hall of brick, became, aa it was to bo presented alono to the imaottlod district, tho exterior aspect on that side was of slight cousequenco. How fur Is it at this moment south of the center of population, wealth, and enterprise 7 In 1820 yonr city hardly exceeded 140,000, now you humbor more than half a million of souls. In that year I remember to have beard my father, on his return from Now York after hi* llrst visit here, subsequent to tho closo of the revolution, oxpress his amazement at the growth and chango of tho city. Still at that timo Brooklyn, which now numbers more than ono hundred thousand souls, was comparatively a villago, and riding en horseback with old General Moroton ho found sending a por tion of tho building on Brooklyn HelglRs, on which ho had run up the American ensign upoa the evacua tion of the city In 1783. ! From the llrst date I liavo mentioned. 1770, to this hour, the history of tho city has been tde history of patriotic devotion to popular rights anil popular lib erty. That, for a timo, daring tho Revolutionary struggle, another ensign than ours lloatcd here is no cause of mortification; it was the fortulio of war, and Inoorwoak and embarrassed condition j unavoidable. But the Ban of tho 25th Novomber, 1783, rose here for tho last time upon tlio rule of a foreign powor, and tho anniversary of that doy ia remembered by your 44 sons of liberty” with tlio same patriotic feeling that tlio great National Anniversary or July 4 is regarded by the people of oar common country. How are you, men of New York, to show your ; grat itude for the past? How ore you to make the most of tho present 7 How are you to secure all tbo toble prom iso of your future V You will keep high Four standard ot intelligence and moralH because all appa rent advancement will prove fallacious, nnd weakness will bo. substituted for strength whenever, aa a peo ple, we cease with reverence and humble dependence to look to tho source of all power and all wisdom.— You will educate your children in the belief aud con viction that you have neither power, nor persever ance, nor security, nor liberty, except as you consti tute one of the members of this vast and uow univer sally respected confederacy. You will fostir every where the living action, efficient sentiment, that un der the Frovldcuce of God Ihoso great blessings may only be cqjoyod under tbo present constitution. You remember younclves, and remiud others tkatwiso men framed that constitution. Men who knew what independence cart, becauso in their own suffering and in the privations and trials or their famines and friends they had paid a part cf that ox pen®. The great problem of the formation of the Union called uot only for all the wisdom bat for all the ictriotic conception of th3 wisest body of men tlio wurld had ever yet aeon in council, ir tbore aretliosiat the present day who,having never made for tlMr coun try the sacriiico cf ease, income, or personal danger, would break up tie foundation on which we have bo prosperously and securely stood; the basis of onr happiness at hotm and our respect abroad—the only sure pledgo of all that we expect for those who ai o to come after us, it ll to bo hoped that they are few in number, and that lhcir sphere of influence limited.— If there are prorislona In the Constitution of your conntry not consiitcnt with your views of principle or expediency, renumber that in tiie nature of tilings that instrument could only liavo had its origin in com promise ; aud remember too, that you will be faith less to honor and common honesty if you consent to enjoy the privileges It confers, aud seek to avoid, if any, tho burdens imposed. It cannot bo accepted in parts; it is whole or nothing, and as a whole, with all tho rights it secures, and the duties it requires, it is to bo sacredly maintained. I accept these honors as your servant with a thankful heart, hut I bear with mo, at the same time, a proud consciousness that by yotir free nnd unsought choice. I am also your repre sentative, charged with the care ol'your interests and your honor. 1 nope to be cuconragcd aud strength ened in all ray efforts to promote tho one, and pre serve unsullied tho other, by such countenance and support on your part as a fearless and faithful exer cise of the functions committed to me may merit. Mr. Mayor—This Empire City, aud this Empire State, are tho living exemplifications of the talisman- 1c word adapted as your motto. Has it never occurr ed to you, fclr, that the hand which inscribed 44 Ex celsior” upon your coat of arms, must have boon guided by a prophet's vision ? Tills spectacle tenches all of us a valuable and significant lesson. May God, in his wisdom, mnko you seusihlo of the blessings conferred upon you; and during my term of office may Ho strengthen mo in my sincere and anxious purpose to aidyou in all your honorable and patriot ic enterprise, who shall say to your great character istic, and to tho spirit of our whole country, *• thus fur shalt tliou g> and no farther?” As your advance in yoarmajeMtlccareer, new duties and new rcspoii: sibillties are imposed, and os your conquering exanj pie manifests itself on all hands, now conceptions 4 still further triumphs will arouse and stimulate yoff exertions. The Old World caught tho inspiration from tlio New. Nations closed to civilization for liundredH of years, arouse from the sleep of ago,and stretch out their hands to the inquiring spirit which over time au^Hpace" on 'these' siiores] "WWwIlFaut lituiLs to your just ambition when the Atlantic is bridged with steamers to the shores of Europe and united to tbe Pucilic by tlio great thoroughfare that will eventually biud these States together as with hooks of steel ? And, Sir, with all these advantages —with all these privileges—with ail these benefits of tlio present, and thjso anticipations of the future— nnd,let me soy, with ail tho invocations of tho past —how can we fall to welcome those who come to us from the gay old nntions of Europo ? 1/rt them come. There is room enough for all—room in the hearts and in the homes of tho American people; nnd there is work and food cuougli for all. The moment they en ter into tho brotherhood of American freemen tlioy cease to bo citizens of other countries, and they hear their share of the burdens ind enjoy their share of tiie blesBiug.-* common to all h this happy Union. It is this great truth that invokes us against all schismatic organizations no; strictly American, and that destroys tlio claim that ours is a nation governed by men of ono race alone. No single race of men can boast that to them ilono is humanity indebted for such a country as thb. It is the fusion of all nations into one that has crowned our enterprise with suc cess. Your own experience is the proof of this. All races have contributed to tho population that now crowds your ships, builds your cities, sits in your councils, and educates your children. The hardy turns of New Englaid, and the descendants of your own pioneers, mingb with the tide that flows in from other nations, until all characteristics disappear be fore the progressive and courageous spirit tlmt ani mates the citizens of our owu comtry, and protects our free Institutions. And now, my fellow-country men, once more I thank yon for this brilliant and ex traordinary reception—a tribute which you pay to the Government of clwico nnd affection, and to our heav en favored Union, in tho person of yourreiiresenta- tivc in the Presideitial chair. Loud and cnthisiastic calls were then made r»< Davis! Davis! whereupon, Hon. Jefferson Davis came forward nixl thanked them sincerely fortbe bind welcome extended to him. They had called upon at a time when it would be un grateful to detain them, nnd therefore tlioy mint aim- ply reccivo his slnfcrc thanks for tho honor conferred. Tlio President and suite then retired to tiie Battery to inspect tho miliary assemble'! to take part in the interesting proceidings of the day, after which, tlio procession was foimcd agreeably with tlio programme published, and praceedcd 44 en route ” to the Crystal Palace. From the New York Tribune, July 16. Opening or tho Crystal Palnec. Tiie 14th July, 1833, will henceforward rank in our history as a great day. Then was consecrated unto Art and Industry a building novel and Bplendid.ns regards architecture, aud containing productions from all parts of the earth. The entrances to tho Palace were kept clear, ind no disturbance manifested itself through the day— Different colored tickets admitted the visitors atth.ee different Bides of tho Palace, the fourth closing up against the giant Croton Water Reservoir. The President being detained by tbostorm, did not arrive at tbo appointed time of one o’clock, being de layed till about an hour later. When lie did como, however, with his suite, civil and military, ho was warmly greeted by tho pcoplo within tho building, who amounted to some 20,000, as far os we could fudge. The United States Band struck up Hall Co lumbia, and finished with Yankee Doodle. This part of the day’s proceedings waa extremely interesting When the Hhouta had died away, and thousands of fair hands waving their handkerchiefs had exhausted thrir first burst of enthusiasm. Bishop Wninright deliver ed, in a full round voice, his appropriate prayer. Then came stealing through tho vast aisles tho Hymn of Old Hundred set to semi-secular wards. Tlio effect where we stood under the dome was mysti cally grand. Next, Mr. Theodore Sedgwick, the President nf the Crystal Palace Association, rose and addressed the President. Mr. Swig wick spoke emphatically well. His manner is practiced and self-posfesscd, and te was mncli applauded. The President replied oviamtly impromptu, and his words were well chosen. Re ap peared fatigued in the previous efforts he bad mado In public speaking during his journey, and was very brief. Mr. Pierce, however, most favorably impress ed his auditory. Ho was fluent, earnest ana una bashed before so vast an auditory. Wo subjoin here tlio words of his speech : RBl'Lr OF rilBSIDBNT TIERCE. I Sir : I rctnrti you, ou behalf of those of my consti tutional advisers who are with mo, and on ray own account, my warm and cordial thanks for tho recep tion yon bavo hem pleased to oxtend to us.

You, Sir, and the gontlemen who havo been and are associated with yon, havo impose! upon oil of us a deep debt of grati tude for your energy and perseverance in this great enterprise. Whatever tbo shortcomings of which you have spoken maybe, I can only remark that they do not appear hero j nnd so faros I have been able to perceive, they are lost In your complete and trans- Cendant success.

Tbo Santa Fo Weekly Gazette, speaking ot tbe American tltlo to the Meuilla valley, makes tlio fol lowing Important deolaration, which will, If render ed authentic by documentary and historical evidence, have an Important bearing upon the deoialou of the question: 44 Tho territory involved In this unsettled boundary, up to tlio time of fixing tho initial point, waa under the Jurisdiction of tbo Territory of New Mexico. As soon however, ns the point was agreed upon, the Mexican authorities took possession of it and extend ed tbolr authority ovor it, and actually dispossessed all Americans who had made Improvements In the valloy of tho MeslUa, depriving them of tholr im provements and labor without compensation.” It is also worthy of notice that tho commissioners of tho State of Chihuahua undertake to disprove tho assertion of Governor Lane, that the Government of tho United Stntes lmd been dispossessed of the Mesil- la valloy, by assorting that 44 since tho treaty of Qua- daloupe, through respect to the Mexican treaty, no uso was made of tho said territory, notwithstanding the inhabitants petitioned tho Government to estab- llsh tholr authority, but possession was not taken un til the Boundary Commission had. in accordance with tho treaty, declared that it belonged to Mexico; then in presence nnd with the consent of tho author ities of the United Btntes [what authorities?] posses sion was taken.”— Wash. Rejniltlic, 12th. Spain and Her Foreign Relations. Wo regard the reported appointment or his Excel lency, Calderon do la Barca to tho portfolio of For eign Relations in the government of This conntry, as on omen of the most favornblo character for Spain aud her dopandeticius, as well as an augury of tiie continuance of a cordial understanding with this Re- B ublic. Tho long service in the capacity of Spanish linister to the United States, comprising a period not unburdened with difficulties the moderation, judgement, tact and good sense he has uniformly ovluced in his communications and intercourse with government nnd people, point hhn os singularly fitted for tho direction of tho foreign allairs or Spain, or which the American department is by far tlio most interesting and Important. Equally well acquainted with tho political condi tion and character of Mexico and her people by per sonal residence and observation, it will be In bis pow er to correct ninny a misapprehension in the minds of liis fellow officials, and to placo the relations of Spain with her American offspring upon a sound and healthy basis, free from mistakes and extravagancies of every description. AU those who coincide with ns in these viows nnd whose disposition is friendly to the welfare and ad vancement of every great branch of tho human race, will with ua hail for old Spain, falways faithful to its engagements with tho Uuited States,) this introduc tion of Mr. de la Barca to a prominent and most ie- sponsible position in her public councils, as, In som* degree, evidence of the commencement of a new era in her policy, more in consonance with her own secu rity and the spirit of tiie age, against which no earthly power, however imposing, may hope long to maintain a successfully hostilo front. At the risk of ropettan we affirm that for a long time no intelligence has been received from abroad better calculated to gratify the true philanthropist, and tho friend of a right" progress,” than tills of tiie advancement of Mr. de la Barca to the post of Minis- te«- of Foreign Relations in Spain.—Haft.

A bundle, (quere, layers?) of plates, consisting of sandpaper, millboard, glue, filftss, plastic clay, tinfoil, cardboard, gutta per- elm, vulcynmcd India rubber, wood nnd resinous ce ment, W 8 therefore mado up and tied together, and bring pltced on a table under tiie baud of a turner, did notprevent the transmission of the power—tho tnblo timed aB bu/oro. Hence no ohjootlon could bo taken V tiie u so oi those substances in the construc tion ofappnrtrtus. The next point was to dotermiuu tho phee ail# source of motion, that is to say, wheth er tie tabic mowed tlio baud, or tho hand this table.— To ttcertahitMk, indications were constructed. Ono of hem consisted of a light lever, having its fulcrum ei tho table, its shore arm attached to a pin fixed on rcard board, which could slip ou tho surface of the Able, and its long arm projecting aa an index of mo tion. It ia evident tlmt if the experimenter willed the table to move towards tiie left, and it did so move before the hands,placed at the time on tlio cardboard, then the index would move to tlio left also, thu ful crum going with the table. Jf tho bauds involuntari ly move towards tiie left without the table, tiie index would go towards the right; and, if neither table nor hands moved, the Index would itself remain immove able. The result was that while tlio operator saw tiie Index it remained very steady; when it was hidden vu- «t,am or tlioy looked away from it, it wavered tioat. though they Oeiievcdtbut they always pressed Jiioctly downwards; aud when the fable did not move there was still unwittingly, a resultant of hand force in the direction it was wanted to mnko the ta ble to move. This resultant of band force increases w the lingers and hands become stiff, numb and iu- unsihle by continued pressure, till it becomes au miount sufficient to move tho tabic. Mr. Faraday has Isrfocted his testing apparatus and lias placed it on vkw to the public ot the store of Ncwtnun, philosoph ic! instrument maker, 122 Rogcnt-st.. London. But thimost curious effect of this test apparatus is the conoctlve power it possesses over the mind of the ta- bleWncr. As soon as tlio index h placed within vicilnnd tho operator perceives that it tells tridy wliqlier ho is pressing downwards only, or obliquely, thou all effects of table-turning cease, even though tiie operator persevere till he becomes weary and worn out. Mr. Farnduy adds in his letter to tho Times, from vhich tlio above ia extracted, 44 permit me *<» say, fofore concluding, that 1 have been greatly startled by the revelation which this purely physical subject bus made on tlio public mind.

Late lna'nlfiht tlio Coroner’s Jury gave their ver dict on eio- victims of tiie lute Gavnzzi tragedy. Nino Proliant* found,substantially, that James Walch to*8 shot by some persons unknown who were endeav oring to dUpcreoa mob assembled in tiie vicinity of Zion Church, (toclmliug among others tlio said de ceased,) which atdi had previously overpowered the Police, with tlio object of attacking said Gavazzi or the audience within Zion Church. That the othor de ceased came to their deaths by gun-shot wounds in flicted by the troops nt the order of the Mavor, and that both thesaM order delivered to the soldiers, and the firing of thv soldiers without orders wore unneces sary and unjuitiflabie. Further, tho Jury condemn the practice of individuals carrying fire arms even U circumstances of assumed emergency—recommend n better Police bree, and regret tiie want of discipline of tho troops yho fired without tho orders of tbelr officers. Ten Catholics find substantially tho same thing as to Walsh, ex«pt that they say nothing about tlio riot in which he fros engaged ;and instead of finding that the Mayor (ave the order to fire, which caused the death ofthdothers, declare that it was done by some person unknown. | A Narrow Escape. A beacon ias been prepared, to ho placed on the dangerous rock called tbo Londoner. It is only occa sionally that smoothness of tho sen and lowness of the tide wil. enable the workmen to do anything to wards drilling the hole for tiie shaft. The Gloucester, Eng., Telegraph gives tiie following account of a nar row escape which Mr. Benjamin Haskell, the contrac tor. had tor his life, a few days ago: 44 The hole In tho rock which ho Is making for the shaft, is about large enough for a man to get into, and is made by drilling holes in a circle,and blowing out tho middle. It is now several feet deep, and the person who loads the holes U obliged to get down in order to do ho. On ono occasion, a few days since, Mr. Haskell had got tlio charges loaded, and on light ing the fuse, attempted to jump out, but found that ho was bound in by tho position that ho had taken in loading the clmrgo. lie mado a second attempt, which was alike unsuccessful. Imagine what his feelings must bavo been, with a lighted fuse leading to a mine of powder under his foot, and ho bound in bv the rock and not able to oxtricato himself! The thought occurred to him to cutoff the end of the ruse with his knife ; but on making a third attempt he succeeded in extricating himself, and but barely es caped when the charge exploded. It was certainly a narrow escape for one’s life.” Rain I BMn II Since our last Ibsuo, we havo had nn abundance of rain.
