CP" Caution I A person Is going about this city; trying to sell an Old Map of this city, revamped, and professing to show the lines of Farms, and the present divisions of estates, cc.

JyO It 03" Repeal Repeal Bo Ireland's Good our Common Creed." A monthly meeting of the Brooklyn Uni St. Luke's church. Wo publish the following letter from Rev. B. C.

Cutler, iu reference to this church 1 Sands st, Brooklyn, July 3, 1846. I was pained to learn this morning that a construction was put upon the document issued by Mrs. Combs, by which the purchasers aud present proprietors of St. Luko's Church wero considered iu fault which document has at its commencement a short nolo of mine. In that note there is of courso no endorsement by mo of any statement which may have boon appendod to it.

But morely an expression of sympathy for a widow and family in distress. I could not havo supposed that such a construction would bo put upon it. In my judgment, the present proprietors of tho Church, so far from deserving a shadow of blame, aro and ever have been worthy of praise in this very matter of Mrs. Combs' claim. Tho present is to say that I havo warned every person who has consulted mo in this matter, to beware lest they speak against the above persons and havo advised them to throw the wholo subject upon Episcopalians in general, as a matter of sympathy with a suffering family.

B. C. Cutler, Rector of St. Anns Church. Navai Tho store ship Relief, Lieut commanding Bullus, hauld out into the stream at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, this morning preparatory to her departure to morrow.

She sails for tho purpose of carrying out stores to the Pacific squadron. The two Mexican steamers, purchased by tho Government of Messrs.

IIouso of Representatives, passed M'Kay'e Tariff Bill, on Friday last, by a handsome majority. Well dono, ye good and faithful servants Such a voto was a fitting preparation for Independence Full of dole of abuse, wrath, and malice are the whig prints of this morning, in consequence of that Democratic Achievement. Let thorn rave on The howlings of such a baffled pack unfed on the blood they thirsted for arc no bad music, after all Arrival ot tlie Britannia. "Wo have two weeks later news from Europe, by tho Britannia, which arrived at Boston last Saturday morning. Though tho news is strung out at groat, length in somo of the papers, it is not of much importance.

Tho British press were commenting, (handsomely toward us.) on the battles of Palo Alto and La Palina and on our position toward Mexico. The Corn Bill has passed in Committee of the Wholo in the House of Lords. The Pope of Rome, Gregory, is dead. The British crops promiso fair. This is all of general interest.

1 so 11 do Kctorms. Perhaps the greatest objects tho people had in calling a Convention to revise tho State Constitution was to restrict the power of tho legislature to incur debt, and to abolish tho judicial character of the Senate. The members of tho however, ap poar inclined to expend their efforts in whittling away the Executive of the State into that attenuated CITY INTELLIGENCE. The Celebration on Saturday. In utter defi anco of the wot weather, the people of Brooklyn which includes, of course, the boys turned out bravely to colcbrato the Fourth Considering all things, wo aro disposed to give the highest praise to all who bestirred thomsclvcs in tho matter which does not include certain organized societies in Brooklyn.

To havo turned of a fine pleasant morning, would have been a pleasure we don't think much of those cffimiiiate gentry who run when the heavens frown Soon after tho appointed time, tho City Guard, the Columbian Riflemen, Fusiliers, and Union Blues, uppoared upon the ground at the junction of Sands st. and Fulton also the Hibernian Benevolent Society also the dignitaries of the city and the gentlemen to officiato in tho exorcises. These, with some few else and several bands of music formed a procession, not at all rcmarkablo for its length, but still a very pretty procession, and ono which did honor to itself, and formed a feature for the time. Tho route of this procession, as laid down in tho bills, was adorned, at the windows of tho houses, with scores and scores again, of the handsomest women wo ever saw in our life Wo could havo gono all day through ten times worso weather, to witness such a sight. Indeed we caught ourself running into tho old common place remark, finc day," onco to a companion.

Were wo not basking in beams brighter and warmer than sunshine? On Fort Groene, when tho procession arrived, werealready many hundreds in the drippingwet. Tho opening prayer was beautifully given by Rev. Mr. Thayer of this city: wo indeed considered it one of tho finest things in the performances of tho day. A neat little thought in it, was, that the tears which heaven was shedding, are let us think tho tears of joy, for so sublime an occasion." Mr.

Bradley's speech was a true and noblo one The oratorical powers of Mr. B. are indifferent his voice, on Saturday, had littlo sonorous power. But tho sentiments of tho address struck us as unusually original, patriotic, and true. AVe never beforo had tho necessity of parties so clearly manifested to our judgment.

Wo should bo pleased to procure this address, that we might publish several passages, which struck us worthy of more lasting record. Tho singing of tho odes, music by tho band, salutes, all went off according to announcement. On the return, tho City Guard did their duty like brave fellows likewise the Columbians. Capt. McLecr's dragoons also were in the line, on returning.

The other co's. had become either obfusticat Cattaraugus and in the middle of Cattaraugus lies Ellicotviilc, a pretty county town and In Ellicotville is a court house whero they have lately been trying a somewhat amusing caso of breach of promiso We get tho particulars from the Cattaraugus Whig. Charlotto Hilliburt was complainant and Avery Park the faithless one. From accounts, (all about tho courtin'," and tho uninitiated aro respectfully desired to pay attention,) from accounts, it appears that the defendant was (we quoto from tho Whig,) at the time of tho courtship, a hale, hearty, and wealthy widower of about 15, with a family of five small children, tho youngest being about seven mouths old. Avery also had a good farm, a large lot of good cows, and his dairy had become somewhat famous for the size and quality of its cheese.

He drove a good horse, kept a fine carriage, and was a devoted member and steward of tho Methodist Episcopal Church. He had also held tho dignified office of Justice of the Peace, and altogether was a man of note and stand ing in the good town of Dayton, whero tho parties resided. Like all other active and vigorous old wid owers, Avery soon got restless and uneasy, and began to cast about in search of a wife. He was dc sirious to provide in tho first placo a companion for himself who should incidentally occupy the position and discharge the duties of a mother to his children, to stir up the cheese curd," and fill up tho vacant placo in his pew at church on the Sabbath. In talking over his grievances to his friend and brother in tho church, Leander Bacon, he described the kind of wife ho would like to secure, to wit One between twenty five and thirty years of age, with a whole soul and fair body, unincumbered, from a respectable family, aud a thorough going Methodist." The idea soon entered the mind of Leander, that Jie could supply the wants of the squire, and he suggested to him that he knew a person in the neighborhood auswering the description, with an exception as to the age, which was somo few years earlier than the age the squire had mentioned The curiosity of the old rentieman was excited, but Leander, for peculiar and private reasons, refused to let him know who it was.

This increased tho curiosity of the squire, and for some days he reflected upon it, until he could contain his anxiety no longer, and sought another interview with Leander. Like a prudent and skilful negotiator, Leander still refused to give the information, but by hints and inuendoes, and certain givings out as to tho residence aud family, Avery finally guessed that he meant Charlotte Hilliburt, a sister of tho wife of Leander. Leander acknowledged tho correctness of his opinion, and the squire inquired if she would go it" The matter was discussed at some length and finally arranged that Leander should get Charlotte down to his house to eat warm sugar, and the squire should call and see her. Accordingly on ono Thursday evening, at about 8 o'clock, the meeting took placo at the house appointed. After supper, and at about 1 1 o'clock, the squire took Charlotte aud led her into an adjoining room, whero they remained until one or two o'clock the following morning.

What took place in the room is not known, except as some portion of it leaked out incidentally on the examination of LeanbTer, who, like many other persons, is gifted with a goodly share of curiosity. After going to bed and sleeping some time, he got carefully up, and standing on the trundle bed," put his ear to the door. He could only hear a few broken sentences of a general conversation, in which the names of somo of the neighbors were mentioned, and in addition, the squire kissing Charlotte heartily, six times. The parties finally came out, Charlotto got the squire's hat, and he shook her by the hand, bidding her good evening and walked away. Charlotte then related a fow of the sweet things tho old gentleman had said to her, and went to bed.

But the old adage, that true love never did run was fully exemplified in this instance. On the following Wednesday evening Avery called again at Leander's to see Charlotte, and informed hor that circumstances had transpired since he was there before, that rendered it improper for him to continue his visits that Mary Rich, with whom ho had previously opened a negotiation, claimed some misunderstanding in regard to the time she was to give him an answer, and being first, he felt under obligations to her. Charlotte replied that ho ought to havo got along with Mary Rich beforo ho got along so far with her, but if ho married Mary Rich she hoped he would never forget it. This was the beginning and end of tho courtship, and the balance of the caso was made up of a thousand attendant circumstances, declarations of Park, and collateral issues upon the character and veracity of the witnesses. Mary Rich was this time called as a witness, and sworo that on the Sunday evening after Park last called to seo Charlotte, the contract was consummated with her.

These are the material facts, and wo do not intend to trouble our readers with particulars. Both Charlotte and Mary wcro present during the trial, and appear to be modest, intelligent and pretty girls, and it was the opinion of many present, that if any damages had resulted to any body, it was to Avery Park, and not the girls. The jury were unable to agree and the case will, it is stated, be tried over again when we shall inform our readers of the result. Valuable literary present. A communication had been ree'd.

at Albany, by the N. Y. State Library, from the Consul of the Netherlands, at New York, announcing that tho King of tho N. has in return for the copy of the Natural History of New York," presented to him under tho authority of tho State, directed tho transmistion of the great work published by the Dutch government on tho Natural History of their Transatlantic Possessions. This valuable donation may be expected in a few weeks.

Mr. Murphy's remarks in the State Convention, which wo give on our First Page, are well worth a careful reading. Tho peroration is unusually eloquent and well knit together. Tho sentiments are all soundly democratic. Jackson Hall.

sivo breach occurred on Friday evening about half an nour alter ine laborers nan quitted work for the evening. The east end of the bulwark erected in front of the dock, was forced in by the pressure of water on tho outside, at its junction with the wharf, to a distance of about twelvo feet, causing a breach of that extent. Tho water rushed in through this and entirely filled the excavated basin within, which is in some places about thirty feet deep. The labor ers were summoned immediately on the discovery of me accident, Dut could uo notnmg to arrest its progress. Tho engino house, which is situated in tho vicinity of the breach, was swerved round some ten or twelve feet from its position, and was very near being upset into tho basin materially disarranging tho machinery, and completely unfitting for use the steam pump which is propelled thereby.

The cause of tho breach is not known. Some, however, attribute it to quicksands, others to the heavy rains.

To day the workmen are engaged in constructing a new bulwark around the break, which will be done by driving piles and filling Mr with earth.

The jury found a verdict that the deceased came to her death by accidentally falling into tho above cistern. (CT Married, ou Saturday last, Judge S. Garrison to Miss Lawrence, all of this city.

The Governor's office, as somo of the members lately announced in debate (if these efforts succeed) will be purely administrative that is ho will be nothing or next to nothing. He will no longer havo tho appointment of county officers nor should he. But ho should havo tho nomination of those who are to form his cabinet, who are to cooperato with him in his duties, so far as demagogueism leaves him any to perform. If ho is not to be trusted with this power, go tho whole: abolish the office aud save the salary An lllk'ecliiifc incident.

We mentioned the other day, the death of tho aged Judge Gillett, of Suffolk on this island. We observe a peculiar incident, connected with this death, mentioned in a Report to tho Long Island Bible Society, of which Mr. G. was a high officer. An annual meeting of tho society was to be held at Patchogue, on Wednesday 16th June.

Judge G. had been anticipating this meeting with no ordinary pleasure and as ho was expected to deliver an ad dress on the occasion. Feeling that ho was too feeble to attend, much more to speak, he sat down to prepare an address, with a view to have it read, and had partly accomplished his task, when the hand of arrested him. On Wednesday, therefore, when the people gathered together to attend the meeting, (Judge G. was known to them all,) the od man lay dead in his coffin.

At the very hour when his address was to have been delivered, his body was brought into tho church, and his address, as it had been written, was read by the pastor, to a deeply affected and numerous audience. His life and character spoke loudly to every hearer his address spoke in language not to be misunderstood but, delivered under circumstances so peculiarly solemn and impressivofTt producod a tenfold effect. It was a man speaking from the coffin. Go to Fort Greene to night The beautiful public exhibition of Fire works is given at Fort Greene, (see adv.) to night. It will be splendid, and every body all ages aud both sexes should go Jubt verdicts, doubtless.

Wo aro pleased to see, in tho proceedings of the N. Y. Marine Court, a day or two since, tho record of the verdict and penalty of 250 against tho Capt. of the packet ship Sutton, for flogging a boy, giving him twenty two cuts on the back, with a ropo. Another Capt.

who gave a boy twelve cuts with a heavy cat o' nine tails, had a verdict of 10 given against him by the same Jury. Wo wish the courts, and public opinion, too, would unhesitatingly frown upon the despicable barbarism of the lash, applied to human beings There is not a stronger proof of mental imbecility, and a tyrannous disposition, than tho usage by an individual of the lash to his children, or those under his charge. We mean this, all. Bathing! Do you bathe, Mr. or Madam this closo unwholesome weather If not, believe us, you lose much of the zest of life.

Every body in Brooklyn and elsewhere, just as much should observe this habit, with scrupulous regularity either in their private ro ms or the swimming baths. Whore is it we have met with the following anecdote Square," said an old man of sixty, the other day, to a younger acquaintance D'ye ever wash yourself all over?" They were examining tho new fashioned shower bath standing on the sidewalk by the door of a dealer. Oh, yes," said tho younger, I bathe freqently. It is a healthy, delightful and invigorating luxury." "Yew dew? Wall, I neper did but once in my life. It's a most curi's feclin' Why, for two days afterwards, I felt as if I was changed into a flock of pigeons." An ancient Society.

The N. Y. State Society of Cincinnati celebrated tho anniversary of Ameri can Independence on Saturday at the City Hotel, N. whero they entertained as guests His Excellency Silas Wright, Governor of the State, Hon. A.

By the by, what atrocious music tho hired bands always give on these public occasions Such a diabolical grating rub a dub as they kept up on Saturday, (not a single tunc on the whole route was enough to set any body's teeth on edge On the arrival of the procession, City Guard, at the Common Council Chamber, Aid.

When we take into consideration tho miserable weather, we reiterate our assertion that the day was kept well. Our New York contemporaries speak of an unusual number of intoxicated men in the streets. In Brooklyn we saw hardly any at all. The mass of our citizens evidently kept it up" with determined glee. Crowds were in the streets and tho rattling squibs, firing of guns, ringing of bells, and drumming of drums, mado glory enough for ono day," of themselves.

The crowd on Fort Greene, (we must not forget to say) stood the rain bravely. Though in the very midst of the address, there came up a heavy shower, we noticed not a man among those listening, to leave tho ground We know, then, we have many not morely fair weather patriots, in Brooklyn. Among the accidents of Saturday, wo hear of tho following Mr. Nelson Gurney while engaged in firing a salute in York in this city, had his hand dreadfully lacerated and his faco badly burnt by the premature discharge. A boy standing by was also seriously injured, occasioned by a careless man throwing a lighted pipe ou the ground, near tho muzzle of tho piece where some loose powder was scattered.

As Mr. Voorhies, a ship carpenter of this city, was in the act of firing a small ship's cannon, oppo site the store of John Peters, at the old bridge, Brook lyn, the piece burst, ono of tho fragments striking his leg below the knee, and breaking it to pieces He was carried to tho N. Y. Hospital in deep agony. James Wilson, a young lad residing in Rosevelt st.

New York, had his right leg most shockingly crushed and mangled between the wharf and a steam boat, at the Catharine ferry on the Brooklyn side. Ho was taken to tho New York hospital, where it was thought amputation would be necessary. In addition to the accidents on the Fourth already mentioned were the following a son of Geo. Dougherty and a son of Mr. Fitzpatrick the foreman in Mr.

Jno. Benson's copper works, who were both badly burnt by small fire works. A young man near the Fulton ferry while emptying a small quantity of powder from a flask containing half a pound was fired into by some one with a roman candle which ignited the powder, and produced a terrific explosion. He luckily escaped with nothing more serious than a scorched hand. Brooklyn churches yesterday.

At the Pres bytcrian church, in Jay st, the Rev. Mr. Duffiield, last evening, preached a sermon on Peace. It is represented to us as having been surpassingly woll, both in its matter, and its delivery. Mr.

D's. text was part of the 15th verso of the 16th chapter of Luke, For that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination unto tho Lord." Persons who heard tho sermon, were vividly impressed with tho position and arguments of tho rev. speaker and wo cannot but say, wo wish clergymen would more often elaborate on this themo of Peace. Calvary Church. Tho Rev.

Mr. Lewis preached in this Church yesterday morning, and administered the Holy communion to the members of this Church. In tho evening Mr. Lewis read the service, and Rev Mr. Fish preached from tho 15th an 16th verses of the 2d chap, of 2d Cor.
