Tho question of the expediency of having such a Park is we bo lievo very generally thrown asido as settled, although on Monday night a dozen or so of tho residonts of tho vicinity of Fort Groone sent in their remon stranco against the improvement. A resolution was however passed by tho C.

So far, so good and we only wait now for further developements in regard to tho modus operandi.

Laying ok tub corner stone for the New Methodist Church. The corner stone of the New Methodist Church in Bridge streot, near Myrtle in this city, was laid yesterday afternoon, (10th) with appropriate ceremonies. Prayer was offered by a clergyman there being several others present, oue of whom read a chapter from tho scriptures, aud anothor gave a proper and impressive address. A largo audience collected in the open air and a number of passers by, attracted by the scene, joined the crowd so that altogether it was quito a numerous congregation From the appearance of tho foundation, we should judge that the New Church was to bo a large and goodly one. Wo obsorve that tho front is laid with the uncut rough brown froe stono, like Dr.

Cox's church, in Henry street, aud wo presume it is all to be carriod up, (in front) with tho samo material Another church, we observe, is being built at the corner of Gold and Willoughby a very excellent location. Probably in tho course of a fow years this section of our city will bo able to show something like its sister section, on the other side of Fulton st, in the mattor of houses for Divino Worship. It will hardly rival tho latter, probably, in quality though we cannot help hoping that it will, in number. Cow Stolen. A valuable young cow belonging to Mr.

Melville Kelsoy, of Bedford, in this city, which was left in tho pasture night before last was yesterday morning found amongst the missing." The owner discovered the tracks of two men as they led the animal by means of a rope about hor neck. These were followed across the Jamaica turnpike and down one of the avenues which lead to East Brooklyn, aud Mr. Kelsoy had tho gratification, after some little difficulty, in discovering tho hide of tho animal, which had been killed but a short time boforo, at tho slaughterhouse of Mr. Dow ling on Flushing avenue. Ho was pained to seo that tho animal, which had boon a pot, was not in her skin," but had jumpod out" by a process known to the iuitiatod in thoso matters.

Mr. Dowling informed the owner that he had purchased the heifer from a man named Potcr Valentine, who brought her there at an very early hour in the morning, accompanied by a black man, both of whom were well known in tho vicinity of Bedford. The butcher having paid to Mr. Kolsey the worth of the animal( in tho shape of boef, somo $15, procured tho services of a police officer and in a short timo succeeded in arresting tho two culprits, who were this morning placed on examination. It seems that Valentino has heretofore, in one or two instances, sold cows to Dowling, who believed him honest and that his possession of the animals was properly acquired.

This is a new phrase of tho drover's profession in this city, aud though it takes but littlo capital except in tho way of brass" to carry it on, thoso hereafter inclined to go iuto tho business, wo fancy will be wary.

JOHN V. LAWRENCE, ill" 3t Secretary. human lives are cut off" before maturity beforo they aro fit to rationally enjoy life for wo cannot call the mere animal existence rational onjoymcnt. Then how horrible to roflect on the pain that must bo endured, in connection with those early deaths, and the circumstances that lead to them, and prepare them How tedious and dreary the substitution of sickness for tho oxubcranco of health which should moro appropriately be the portion' of youth How dark the whole world must appear, even to the sight which should see little but suushino aud pleasantness But the causes of these frequent and early deaths what are they Doubtless many are of an hereditary nature. But far tho larger portion, we fancy, could be avoided by proper treatment by thoso means of health and comfort which any reasoning man must acknowledge, but which, after all, so very few persons will put in force.

Many of those who have charge of infants the nurses and servants are totally incapable of performing their duties aright. And as to boys and girls, from babyhood to tho approach of maturity, their lives are beset on every side, (full as they are of the swelling stimulus of growth,) with danger with poisonous habits, and wretched imitations. Thousands and thousands of youth fall victims in early years to what might be avoided by tho care and warning of judicious friends! And they are none the lees victims to the heedlessness of their early years, becauso tho consequences of that heedlessness does not visit them till after years It is absolutely appaling to reflect on the truth involved in tho extract in tho first part of our article, and which forms the starting point of our comments Nor is it less painful to think of the miserable management of so many, even in their babyhood implanting evils in their make which all the ductility of youth and growth can hardly rub out. And how seldom we see a perfectly healthy child, or youth Communicated Representation in committees, As tho Democratic Standing Committee has called a Convention for equalizing tho representation of tho towns and wards in thiB County in futuro Conventions, and in the Standing Committee itself, and Delegates were elected last evening to meet tomorrow afternoon at Flatbush for that purposo, a few suggestions may not be inopportune. If Conventions aro to be continued, I would suggest that the most simple plan, and that which is least liable to confusion, would bo, to allow each Election District in the County to send three members and as there are twouty five such Districts in our County, tho number in Convention would only bo increased three and tho representation would be moro in ac cordance with the principles of tho party, aud to pop ulation I think a still bolter course, however, would bo to abolish Conventions, and in lieu to have an election in each District, and allow each elector in the party to deposit his ballot for the person whom he may prefer to fill tho office to be vacated or filled and at the same time for three persons iu each Election District, who should be a Board of Canvassers and Inspectors of elections at futuro nominations.

They should make returns after all primary elections, and declare the porsons who have received tho highest vote for each particular office, who would then of course bo the candidates of the party, and deserve support as such The Standing Committee of the County should consist of one from each Election District.

Those of the south are brilliant, but they are surpassed by those of the north in that beauty which sinks iuto the heart.

The memory of ouo is graven there and will not be effaced. It was a Sabbath ovoning in a lovely village on tho borders of the Naraganset, The sun had been set a brief space, and there still lingered a ponsivo and subdued light over all. Tho green elms near tho old church that stood in the distance wore a deeper hue. An emerald set cove was coloured at its edges by the grass that fringed its banks, and it mirrored here the rosy west, and there the clouds golden and crimson that floated above it The lawns were voiled in the mists of night, the vales were shaded by the hills that rose above them, tho woodlands stretched away until they melted in the sky, and over all hung tho moon half way up in the cast, and cast her pale and tender light. Tho grace, the quiet, the beauty of heaven, rested on land and sky.

Twilight was ever dear to me, and pleasant as the face of a friend and this was a holy Subbath evening, and tho scene of grace and lovo revealed His presence who clothes the lilies and provideth for the raven its food, not in terror and in glory but in beauty and in light and songs wero in the hearts of worshippers.

Smith hurt in tho back and leg; Thomas Wheeler hurt in the aide, and Charles Latour, tho cap of his knee out of place.

Taylor's chaste order, tendering the officers and soldiors of his command the expression of his thauks and admiration, dated Sept. 28th, was published on tho 5th Oct.

The army was settliug down inactively, waiting farther orders. A number of Mexicans had been murdered in tho outskirts of Monterey by the outlaws. On the 4th the Mexican officers called on Gen. Worth to take leave of him. As they were riding away through the Plaza, a volunteer shot ono of them through tho heart.

He was arrested. He is in prison, and will bo hung undoubtedly. A sentiment seems prevalent in the army that to conquer peace, a more decisive blow must bo struck at Tampico and Vera Cruz. Lieut. Arm sted arrived at Monterey on the 12th with dispatches from Washington to Gen.

Taylor. A mail sent from Camargo 21st Sept. for tho army was taken by tho onemy, aud delivered to Ampudia for the private correspondence in it. This mail has been forwarded to Santa Anna. About 2000 mules had boen hirod at Monterey for the use of the U.

Y. from a 'common' station, to ono of the highest in tho land, will seo food for their patience, hope, and encouragement. "Mr. Young," says one of his friends and neighbors, is a self educated man.

Ho commenced life from small beginnings. From his labors as a country schoolmaster, ho supplied himself with pecuniary means to enable him to study the profession of the law, in which ho soon distinguished himself. His ability and success gaued for him a reputation in his own county and judicial district. After filling several minor grades of office, he was in 1 t39 elected to represent his district, composed of Livingston and Allegany counties, in Congress. After a four years' term of service he declined a re nomination to Congress, but was elected to the State Legislature.

Ho twice received the Whig vote of that body for Speaker." mention these facts, (aud there are scores of similar cases,) as an inducement to any poor boy, or young man, to persevere, aud 'never say iu his ambition for progress and elevation. Election op Delegates to equalize Representation, There was hardly sufficient inter est evinced in this business, yesterday. For it is of importance that, in Committees of our Party, representation should be in proportion, as nearly as possible, to population.

cay and death but there is a beauty, a chastening influence in that docay which makes thee so lovely, and throws such a breathing holiness over all thv scenes, that thou art eudoared to me as a cherished sister, and I think of thee and speak of thee with all tho tenderness of a departed friend. I lovo to hear the rustling of tho faded leaves as they bid adieu to tho parent tree, and throw themselvos upon tho bosom of tho gentle winds to follow their bidding. I lovo tho sighing of thy winds, though I feel that thev aro sighing their requiom over the bright things of summer. I lovo the splendid drapery of thy forests, tho thousand glorious hues in which they are decked, though 1 know that this is but tho lighting up of the spirit of beauty for a moment ore its final extinction. Yes, elder daughter of tho year, I lovo all thy scenes, and all thy associations, I am sad under thy strange influence, yet happy.

I would not bo gay if I could. Thero is a subdued reverence in my affection for thee, which banishes every thing that might seem to bospcak a forgctfulness that thou art with me. how many times havo I broathed the wish that thou mightest bo near me when I am dying. I never feel so willing to go as when my spirit drinks in the sweet and soothing sadness of thine own. I look around me, and all is changed the earth has folded up her garment of green the flowers have perished the birds havo gone, their glad music is hushed in silence tho winds havo gathered the loaves to their burial and why should I wish to stay when all are gone 7 Come, then, gentle Autumn, when my time is arrivod come and take me by the hand, aud I will go with thoo willingly.

From tkc JV. Y. Jour, of Commerce. The State Constitution. Notwithstanding the heavy vote in this city agaiust the Now Constitution, we rejoice to believe that it has been adopted by the State at large.

Wo have received by telegraph from Albany, tho votes of three counties on the question of adoption, as follows Yes. No. Albany co 9476 1041 Saratoga 4046 2258 Schenectady 2175 1G2 15,697 3462 Majority in theso three counties in favor of tho Constitution, 12,235. Wo understand it is calculated at Albany that tho majority of Yeas iu the whole State will not bo less than 30,000. At all events, tho Constitution is adopted, and that is the main point.

Had it failed, wo aro convinced we never should have got another so good. To say that there is no single topic on which it might be made better, would bo going beyond the truth, or beyond what we and others might regard as truth, but that is not tho question. Absolute perfection is not to be expected in a matter of this kind, where thero are so many opinions aud interests to be consulted. If tho new Constitution is on the whole hotter than tho old, and if it is as good as wo are likely to get, it would bo folly to reject it, morely because, on one or two points, it does not tally with our own viows. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE Brooklyn Institute.

Tho Natural History Society held their meeting last evening, and a largo attendance was present. There was no business of special interest transacted. Upon the reading of minutes of the last meeting, tho chairman (Mr. Hume) took occasion to make some remarks respecting that part relating to the alleged fossil human bones found receutly at a great depth below the sur faco, in Alabama. Ho cautioned tho society against crediting testimony going to support tho hypothesis of fossil man.

It was a subject of peculiar difficulty and mistakes had frequently been made in this respect A similar fossil had agitated the scientific world a few years ago but after duo investigation by competent savans, the bones had proved to have belonged to one of tho higher orders of tho Chimpanzee. In order to pass a critical opinion in matters relating to fossil geology, it requires a most extraordinary conbination of scientific knowledge One must bo perfect in the sciences of botany, chemistry, conchology, mineralogy, and deeply versed in the mysteries of comparative anatomy and it was an impossible thing to find theso multifarious qualifications associated in an individual. For this roason a course of lectures recently delivored in Europe, upon the subject of fossil geology, had to bo conducted by somo four or five of the most distinguished professors of various sciences. Tho hypothesis of there boing such a thing as fossil man was therefore to bo touchod upon with extreme caution and for his part he had as yet received no ovidenco from tho published accounts, tendiug to establish tho fact of tho Alabama bones being human. A member hero remarked that Mr.

Gliddon, in his lecture last week beforo tho Brooklyn Institute had spoken of these bones, and seemed to attach credenco to tho remote antiquity claimed for thorn. Tho chair was awaro of that fact, as he had attended the lecture and he expressed himself some what surprisod that Mr. Gliddon was so facile of belief, especially as the relics had not yet been sub mitted to what he (tho chair) deemed to be a sufficient investigation. Mr. Brigham offered some remarks upon the locality aud the soil, (both familiar to him) in which the fossils wero found, the latter being underneath a bed of blue clay he casually stated that the Natir ral History Society of Philadelphia, in whose custody they are, had appropriated a sufficient sum to effect a competent scientific investigation of tho wholo subject.

The chair, by request, explained the difference between fossils and petrifactions and the subjoct wns dropped. Tho presentation and discussion of various specimens occupied tho remainder of tho sitting, and tho society adjourned until next Tuesday ovoning. Mr. Ki.ngbley's concert. Futuiie concerts.

Atolorably large audience and mvery select' one congregated Dr. Spencer's Church last evening (10th) to hoar Mr. Kingsloy's concurs. Tho best part of the whole onterta inment by far was an overture from Herold, played exquisitely by some ono (Mr. Kingsley?) on tho organ, at tho beginning of the second part.

Tho song God bo with you' was also well given Wo consider tho frequency of these concerts a con sumation devoutly to be wished for, and take the liberty of sugesting that every church here get up aemething of the same or on a like plan. Tho tickets, however, should not bo 50 cents each tho price of them Bhould bo merely nominal (12 cents for iustunce) for of courso tho object would bo, not to mako a profit, but to extend tho tusto for music among tho people, and to advance its cultivation in the church choir Wo think in theso latter lines we havo made a good suggestion and hopo it will meet the eyes of those for whom it is intended.
