That this resolution could not enure to the benefit ot the firookhm Below we give the.opini(Bi of ridge Grjeenwoodin relation to the BuryWg Gjmimd in the Seventh Ward, as read to the Common Council on Monday evening last presuming itto bera matter of, intereeti to the public in general, and especially to the different reli gioussocietieswhose. rights are involved. Fl UnaeithMlcad "SHEA.

FlCTUBK BStar rare qs yesterday an ac count of the death of Miss Josephine Bifigharn a young English who, as he says, was driven to want by the miserable wages she received for her millinery work," and ultimately to suicide. The minor of this proposition may be true, but the major is defective unless we admit (as no philanthropist can) that the step from 'toant to suicide is legitimate and proper. Hundreds perhaps thousands in this very city, are suffering day by day for the common necessaries of life. pinching hand of want is forever upon them but is this a. justifiable excuse for committing the crime of self murder? Assuredly not and while we drop the veil of charity over the errors and weaknesses of those who assume the prerogative of the Creator, and take life, we must condemn the act itself, and insist upon it that no possible circumstance, nor combination of' Ctrcumstances, can furnish an excuse.

We know that female labor is, in general, but poorly recompensed, and that hundreds delicate women are annually sacrificed at the shrine of incessant toil but we do not perceive how their condition would be improved by cutting off the demand for their labor. Fashion is proverbially an arbitrary and a cruel mistress, we know but the expense of her freaks devolves at last upon the male creatures." Meantime, her whims furnish employment to thousands; and if the real producers fail to secure a just reward for their labor, it is the fault of intermediate agents bosses," if you pleaai and not of those who give the orders. While, therefore, things are as they are, we behove this matter, so far as the votaries of fashion are concerned, could not be fixed better" than it Much has been said and written within the last few years on the Social Elevation of Humanity in general, and the better half it, in particular but as yet no satisfactory solution of the problem has been obtained. Our plan is, Association not such as the Fourierites contend for, but association within the State, or as Brownsou would express it, within the existing organism. Why could not a dozen or more young women, who are thorough masters of their art no matter what it may be associate themselves together for its prosecution They have no capital, you say but what is capital Is it money exclusively No.

The capital of most people is their skill, and although, in the present isolated state of society money is requi site for the rosecu' ion of any business, it never theless, an accidental part of the matter. Webelieve that associations of tailoresses, milliners, might be organised for the transaction of business with entire success and thus a great and increasing obstacle to the procurement.of an honest and comfortable livelihood by this worthy class of persons would be gotten over at once. Johnson's Mysterics." The large room in Hall's Buildings was filled to overflowing last night, and Doct Johnson went through with a scries of interesting experiments in Animal Magnetism resulting, we believe, in the conversion of a good many who have heretofore been downright sceptics. The greatest interest was manifested by the audience, throughout, and with a single exception every thing passed off agreeably. We presume it is unnecessary to mention particulars, and shall merely remark that the impropriety of the request was sufficiently apparent, without the explanations which followed.

The experiments in clairvoyance were in many instances qhite successful, and sometimes amusing. A good deal of merriment was occasioned by an attempt on thc.part P. Smith. (who was ili.si iu will! Uitr auujuet, in obtain. from her a description of the" ruins of the City Hall.

She succeeded in every respect but the height, which she represented as five stories; when Mr. Smith mentioned that his own mind had unavoidably been fixed upon the building as it was to have been, and not as it is an explanation which seemed perfectly satisfactory to the. audience, inasmuch as it afforded them a fine opportunity lor a display of their cachin natory powers. By a mere effort of the will, Doct. Johnson caused the young lady to rise from her chair, while asleep, step gracefully to the left, and assume the posture of kneeling after continuing in which for a few mo was made to rise and resume her scat.by the same power.

Many other equally remarkable effects were produced, which we cannot now enumerate and we can only add, that those interested will have another opportunity to gratify their curiosity, on Friday evening next. S3 Peter Van Nostrand, whose arrest and commitment for entering the house of Mr. Osborn, on State street, we recently published, appears to have been extensively engaged in such operations, and probably concerned in all the hall robberies in our city. On searching the house where he lived, pawn tickets were found, and by means of them an overcoat and cloak recovered, which were stolen from the house of Joseph Dean, in the early part of this month. Van Nostrand was a servant at the Mansion House shortly before its robbery, and remained there, as at Os born's, long enough to become familiar with the pre mises, and to understand hjw to move whenever he might incline to return.

The infamous system of pawn brokerage, in vogue at New York, is calculated to promote thieving, as articles of great value are re ceived at those shops without asking questions, and a trifling advance made upon them, when the appearance of the person by whom they arc offered is conclusive evidence that they arc unfairly obtained. Theft would receive a severe blow, "if these establishments were subjected to frequent and rigid inspection by police regulations. Horrible. The Fulton County (N. Republican tells the particulars of a most heart rending casualty which occured in Oppcnhcim, in that county, on the 1st inst A Miss Sweet had walked from her father's house, to her brother's house, a distance of about three miles, and, ready to return home; a horse was furnished by her brother.

She had not proceeded far before the horse threw her off; but, being prevailed upon to ride, she got on again, and was asecond time thrown. Being unable to extricate her foot from the stirrup, she was dragged all the way home, and, when taken in the house, was found to be most shockingly mangled. She suffered the most excruciating pains and agonies for about two hours afterwards, when death came to her relief. The de ceased was about 18 years of age. Attempt to Rob by the Cherokee Nation.

We learn from the Van Buren (Ark.) Intelligencer of the Gth, that an attempt was made on the 16th of December to rob Captain Dawson, Creek Agent, while he was on his way to hisagency, with $64,000 to pay off the Creek annuities, Sic It was upon the second night after he left the Choctaw agency, and when in camp fourteen miles from Fort Coffee, that twelve or thirteen men, supposed to be Cherokees, were seen lurking about in the vicinity of the camp at twilight The fires were put out, and the guards placed upon the watch. About 1 o'clock, a man was seen crawling towards the wagon, when, beinc hail ed, he took to his heels, and no more was seen of him or his dusky associates. olW. In. TjjftRSDAr, Jan.

The Long Island Democrat, in' speaking of the quilts exhibited at the late fair in Queens county, refers, with more than ordinary pride 'and commendation, to th one shown by Mrs. Van Nostrand, and thinks it conclusive against Suffolk.

Temperance. At a late meeting of the Parent Washington of th's city, it was resolved that all monthly dues (of constitutional "members) be wiped out or, to speak more genteelly, remitted up to the present time. It was also resolved to discontinue the Srinday evening meetings, and hold them on Thursday evenings only.

We hope' our readers will drop in, as often as convenient, and thus help sustain these meetings. Cannot there be as large an audience to night, as there was at the lecture on Animal Magnetism last evening No Bisnor, no Church." In the burying ground of East Barnstable is an ancient grave stone which bears this inscription Hie inhumatur corpus rcverendi Jonathan Russelli, Episcopi Ecclesite Barnstable ensis."

We copy from the Commercial Advertiser Vera Crcz, Dec. 30. 1843. The only news stirring arrived by to day's mail from Mexico. It appears that it has come to the knowledge of the American minister that a recent order has been given by this government, in July last, to the governors of California, Sonora, Chihuahua, and other northwestern states, to expel all Americans residing there.

A copy of the decree was sent to Mr. Thompson, who applied to the government to know whether it was correct or not but up to the date of the post leaving, he had not received any reply, and it is supposed that he will ask for his passports, as there "can be little doubt as to the fact of such orders having been given. DCT The Editor of the Lonj islander does not appear to ave been much edified by the lecture of Mr Watrous, on the Influence of Humbug," delivered recently at Hempstead Harbor.

JOHN GREENWOOD, Counsel, Horrible Deatil The cess pools of modem Parisian houses arc generally deep chambers, and some tunes wells, cut in the lime stone, on which the city stands; and in the absence' of a'good method of drain ing, are cleaned out only once in every two or three years, according to their size. Meanwhile, they con tinue to receive all the filth of the building. One night, a large cess pool had been, emptied, and the aperture, which was in the common passage of the house on the ground floor, had been, left open till the inspector appointed by the police should come round and see that tho work had been properly executed. He came early in the morning, enquired carelessly of the porter it alt was ngnt, ano oraereo. tne stone cov erimr to be fastened down.

This was done amid the usual noise and talking of the workmen, and they went their way. That same afternoon, one of the lodgers in the' house, a young man, was missed. Days r. i i uiicr aays eiapscu, uuu uuuiiug was ncsuu ui umj. His friends conjectured that he had drowned himself, but the tables of the Morgue never bore his body; and their despair was only equalled by their astonishment at the absence of every clue to his late.

Un a partic ular eveninjr, however, about three weeks after his disappearance, the porter was sitting at the door of his lodge and the house as well as the street was unusual ly quiet, when be heard a faint groan somewhere beneath his feet After a short interval he heard an other, and being superstitious, got up, put his chair within the lodcc shut the door and set about his work At night he mentioned the circumstance to his wife. and going out with her into the pnssage, they had not stood there long before again a groan was heard. The good woman crossed herself and fcllon her knees, but husband, suspectng now all was not right, and thinking that an attempt at infanticide had. been made, by throwing a child's body down one of the passages leading to the cess pool, (no uncommon occurrence in Paris,) resolved to call in the police. He did so without loss of time, the heavy stone covering was removed, and one oi the attendants stepping down and lowering a lantern, as long as the.stench would nerrnit him, saw at the bottom, and at con3idcrable depth, som thing like a hum in form leaning against the side of the Ropes and ladders were now immediately procured two men went down and in a few minutes brought up a body it was that of the unfortunate young man who had been so long mis sing! Life was not qmte extinct, for some motions of the limbs were perceptible, there was even one last low groan, but then all animation ceased foxver.

The appearance of the body was most dreadful, the face was a livid green color, the trunk looked like a man drowned, and kept long beneath the water, all brown and green one of the feet had completely disappeared; tho other was nearly half decomposed and gone: the hands were dreadfully lacerated, and told of a de5per ate struggle for escape. Worms were crawling about. All was putrid and loathsome. How did this unfortu nate young man corhe into so dreadful a position was the question that immediately occured; and the only answer that could be given was, that on the night of the cess pool being emptied the porter remembered this young man coming home very late, or rather early in the morning, tie himseit had torgotten to warn him of the aperture being uncovered, indeed he supposed that it would have been sufficiently seen by the ligh's left hurning at its edge; these had probably been blown out by the wind, and the young man hid thus fallen in. hat liie should have bricn supported so long un der such circumstances, seems almost incredible; but tt lO no less OUI1DU3 UlttU JOT the norlcT WaS Hied brlore the Lorrectional nbunal tor inadvertent homi cide, the tacts were adduced in evidence, and care lessness having been proved, he was sentenced to im prisonment for several weeks, and to a heavy fine.

be referred to the Counsellor of the Board to rnnnire into and report to this Board, whether the several religious, societies which the Burying Ground in this 7th Ward is now appropriated, have a legal right to' an exclusive use of those grounds. The Counsel of the Board, in compliance with, the foregoing resolution, xespectfuUv reports. That it appeal from the records of the town of that at a town meeting, held on the 5th April, 1824, a committee was appointed to procure a suitable si'uation for. a public burying ground. That such proceedings afterwards took place at subsequent town meetings that the purchase was effected, and on the 29th July, in same year, the Supervisor was authorized to have the deed made to him and his successors in office for the town of Brooklyn.

That at a town meeting held on the 19th August following, a committee, which had been appointed for the purpose, reported that they had caused a survey and map to bo made of apart of the land, and divided it into nine allotments, for the purpose of accommodating all the re'igious denominations belonging to the town, together with those who were not attached to any church. That on the same day a resolution was passed that the sundry persons of different denominations draw for their respective situations as burial ground." Then follows upon the record what appears to have been the drawing, viz Jeremiah No. 1. Dutch Church. John Doughty, 2.

Friends. Jos. Sp'rague, 3. Presbyterian. Geo.

Wise, jr 4. Catholic Isaac Moser, 5. Methodist. Evert Barkeloo, 6. Universalist Joshua 7.

Episcopal. Eliakim Raymond; Baptist 9. Common. It further appears that at an annual town meeting, held on the 1st April, 1826, a resolution was passed that the burial ground committee be continued, and that they be authorised to apply to the Legislature for an act vesting in. the several religious congregations, societies, and churches, the title to the portion of land which said committee had assigned to each according to the map made by said committee, and filed in the offices of the Town Clerk and County Clerk.

The several plots are mirked on this map, with the names of the different religious denominations as drawn as Dutch Reformed," Friends," Presbyterian," and one plot is marked On the 21st April, 1828, an act was passed by the Legislature, (Ls. 1828, p. 454,) entitled "an act relative to the Public Burial Ground, in the town of Brooklyn," by which it is enacted as follows: "The title to all that certain piece of ground situate in the town of Brooklyn, near Fort Green, which has been heretofore purchased for the purpose of a burial place for said town, shall be vested in the several congregations and religious societies, agreeably to the map heretofore made by the burial ground committee of said town, and filed in the office of the Clerk of the County of Kings." At a town meeting held on the 2nd April, 1833, the Supervisor was directed to procure a lock to the gate and furnish the sextons of the different congregations with keys. By reason of a mistake which had occurred on the part of the Baptist societies in locating their lot, or for some other reason, an application was made by them to the Legislature in 1836, and on the 25th May in that year an act was passed (Laws 1836 741) entitled an act for the relief of the Baptist societies and congregations in the city of Brooklyn," and by which it is enacted in substance that the title to the piece of ground designated on the before mentioned map oy tne wora." snan oe vesica in the several Baptist societies and congregations then thereafter be incorporated in the city of Brooklyn, and the title to the piece marked Baptist shall be vested in the several Universalist societies and congregations then incorporated, or which might thereafter be incorporated, in Brooklyn and so much of the act of 1828 as is inconsistent with the provisions of that act (of 1836) is repealed. This act also authorizes the clerk of the county to erase Universalist from the map and write Baptist in its place, and vice versa.

The Universalist society formerly existing in Brooklynbut which does not appear even to have been incorporated having become extinct, The first Unitarian Church in Brooklyn," which was incorponted on 19th September, 1835, petitioned the Legislature in April 1838 for the passage of a law vesting the parcel marked Universalist on the map, as altered under the act of 1836, in them, or jointly in them and any Universalist society which miirht thereafter be formed in Brooklyn. A reference was made of this petition, to a committee, but no further action took place upon it by reason, as is stated in the application to which I next refer, of the Mayor, Gen. Johnson (who happened to be in Albany at the time) having observed, in conversation to our then member of Assembly, Mr. Silliman, that the Legislature had no power upon the subject, and that the right to act in the case was vested in the C. C.

of Brooklyn. In Dec. 1838 the First Unitarian Church made a simil application to the Mayor and Common Council of this city, and on the 2lst Jan. 1839 a resolution was passed by that body that the Mayor be authorised to secure to the trustees of the First Unitarian Church of this city by lease or otherwise the vacant lot of land in the public burial ground for a burial place for the mcmoers oi ineir congregation. No lease or other instrument was, as I leam, executed in pursuance of this resolution.

The congre gation of the first Unitarian Church and of the second Unitanan thurch (which latter society was mcorpo ated some time after the former) united in 1842 and on 22d April in that year they were incorporated under the title of the First Unitarian Congregational So ciety in Brooklyn." From an examination of the Records in the County Clerk's office, it appears that religious societies, of all the denominations specified on the map of the Burial Ground Committee, except Universalists and Friends, were incorporated pnor to lc2c. 1 rind an incorpor ation of the Independent Meeting House in 1785 with which the names of John Carpenter, Geo. Pow ers, Wm. Burton and others are connected but I have no means of determining its Character as to sect If it was neither Friends nor Universalist, then no in corporation of any society of either of those denominations appears. From the foregoing state of facts I have arrived at and respectfully submit the following conclusions of opinion 1st That the act of the Legislature of April 21st lpzo, was omntng upon tne town ot urooKiyn, having been passed, upon the application and with the consent of its inhabitants and that if is now binding npon the City of Brooklyn.

2d. That its effect was to vest the title to the several plots of land laid down on the map of the Burial Ground Committee in the respective incorporated relieious societies thereon designated, to which they were set apart, subject to a reverter to the town or city of Brooklyn upcu their several dissolutions. 3d. That the act of 25th May, 1836, not havine been passed upon, the application of the Corporation ot the city oi orooKiyn was binding upon the city no farther than a subsequent assent on its part rendered it so but that burials by the Baptist societies, subsequent to the passage of that act, under claim of authority derived from it, and the reception by the Corporation, under the city ordinance, of returns of burials in the plot which that act professed to vest in said societies without objection to such interments, may be construed into such assent 4th. That the plot on the burying ground map ori ginally set apart to the Baptist societies (and vested in the act of 1828) was abandoned arid re leased by their application to the Legislature in 1836, and their acceptance of the act passed in that year lor their relict, and reverted to the city or UrooKlyn.

5th. That the act of 1835 vested no interest in any Universalist society, as well for the reason before stated, as because no such socicfy has been incorporated so a to be capable of taking under such act 6th. That whatever interest was created by or un der the resolution of the Common Council, of 21st January, 1839, in favor of the First Unitarian Church.
