The meet ings of this Society, which were opened in the Broadway Tabernacle and adjourned thence to the Society Library, have been, for two days, the principle topic of discussion in the papers and in private circles. From the first they have been attended by gangs of rowdies and bullies, who have disturbed the speakers in all possible ways by whistling, calling for "niggers," giving the lie to the speaker, and creating such a storm of hideous noises, that no business could be done, until they were, during last evening, effectually broken up and adjourned sine die, on the ground and for the reason that the speakers had been driven from all chances of a public hearing. This disgraceful conduct cannot fail to injure our reputation as the model Republic, where freedom of opinion and freedom of discussion are, or ought to be, great cardinal principles.

"We confess that we are ashamed of our country when it tolerates such outrages. If "negroes," "women" and "fanatics" cannot be pu down by sober reason and 60und argument, then the basis of republicanism falls and Mr. Jefferson's cardinal doctrine, that error' may be left free when reason is free to combat with it, utterly fails. If everything that is contrary to good taste and public opinion is to be mobbed down then shall we earn the title of a mob ocracy in place of the proud name of democracy. We have the satisfaction to believe, howeyer, that such conduct is not approved by the great body of our citizens.

Wednesday, May 9 th. City Court Before Judge Greenwood and Aldermen Peel and Lambert. This morning the trial of Thompson was resu med in the City Court, before the sanle bench aud jury as were constituted at the commencement of the proceedings. Shortly after the opening of the court, Judge Greenwood remarked as follows On last Monday, an order was made relative to two or three articles which appeared iu the New York Herald, requiring Mr. Bennett, the editor and publisher of that paper, to appear and show cause this morning why an attachment should not issue agai.ist him this morning, at the opening of the court, as being guilty of a criminal contempt in the publication of these articles.

Does any person appear on his behalf? Mr. Galbraith here rose and stated that he appeared for Mr. Bennett. He disclaimed on the part of Mr. Bennett, any intention to reflect injuriously on the ability or integrity of this Court, and regretted that his comments on the trial had elicited any such constructiou.

He felt a deep interest in the proceedings of this trial, and desired rather to aid the administration of justice than to obstruct it. He supposed it was his right to comment on the proceedings of the trial, though he (counsel) cared not to insist now on this point. He hoped this explanation would be satisfactory to the Court. The counsel here handed a copy of this day's Herald to the Court, remarking that Mr. Beunett had retracted the offensive articles by the Bame vehicle ia which they had appeared, believing this to be the most satisfactory course, and hoped the Court would look on the matter in the same light.

By the Court We are pleased to perceive the publisher of the Herald manifest a proper spirit at this time, with respect to the exceptionable articles that he had previously published, and shall forbear any comments further than to say that in this matter we are actuated solely by a regard to the duties we owe ourselves as constituting a court of justice, and the obligations that devolve on us to maintain the respect due to the adminis tration of the laws After some remarks of this character from the Court the case was commenced, and Thompson CABPETS fc OIJL CIiOTHS.

She had a good house; not crowded, but just so full as not to be uncomfortable. She was reading when we entered, the fine poem of Words worth's called Hart leap Well, having already given a long article which we did not hear. After the recess she appeared on the staud and stated that she wished to read the poem of Longfellow, entitled tfic Building of the Ship, but that she had made an awkward mistake in bringing with her the wrong book. Mr. Ives had, however, consented to procure for her a volume of Longfellow's poems, and during his absence she would read Wordsworth's Ruth.

This she accordingly did and while reading those pathetic passages which speak of the desertion of the poor girl by her husband and her days of loneliness and wanderings, Mrs. Kerable seemed to apply the sentiments aud sympathies of the poet to her own case, and was so overcome with emotion as to be uuable to proceed for soma time and when she did finally proceed, it was with an utterance choked by the feelings which overmastered her, and with eyes suffused with tears. But the best thing that we have ever heard her do, was the reading of Longfellow's splendid poem which followed. When she came to this she caused her table to be removed and, taking the book in her hand, stoodup before the audience and poured forth the rich strains of poetic thought in a voice of melodious fullness, a id with such gentle aud graceful action as completely captivated her audience. We have never seen her to such advantage; we never so fully appreciated her fine powers we were never so conscious of the graces of her person or the perfection of her intonations.

It was altogether a splendid performance, and called forth astorm of applause at the conclusion. When she came to strike away the timbers from the ways and set her ship afloat on the grey old ocean "it seemed that the audience were about to rise to their feet to get a sight of her as she floated away into the deep. When she reads this poem again, may we be there to hear. New England Methodist Conference. The session of the New England Methodist Conference closed at Boston on Thursday last having adopted the following resolutions on the Slavery question as one of the concluding acts of the last day Resolved, That while we feel humbled by the continued existence of Slavery with its wickedness and abominations, we rejoice in the increasing evidence that it is not now chiefly contemplated.in political or fiscal connections, but that the moral sentiments of the nation are being aroused against it, and the true principles of freedom with reference to the rights of all men, are being rapidly and generally diffused.

Resolved, That we believe the day will come when the moral reprobation of the world will rest on this evil, end men will regard Slavery and its supporters with all the abhorrence with which they all widths, do do Plain and Check Mattincs, 4 4 5 4 6 4. cut through by the shock, though it was.still alive when taken on board.

jTIio Compromise. The Omnibus Committoo made their long expected report yesterday, through Mr. Clay, the distinguished chairman and compromiser. It is a curious fact, that this committee, which was raised by the determination and persevering efforts of the for the purpose of staking out a plan of settlement satisfactory to the South, and which was composed almost entirely of men willing to grant any concessions to secure a peaceful settlement, has utterly failed, after all, to satisfy the demands of the propagandists and their work, instead of meeting with a cordial support, as was promised and expected, is fiercely assailed at the the very men that it was intended to conciliate. No sooner had Mr.

Clay read his report than it was denounced by Messrs. Mason, Downs, Clemens, Tulee, Turney, Borland, and Mr. Berrien (ail from the South,) who came out dead against the proposed Compromise It is understood there are four or five other Southern Senators who will also go with them. Mr. Clay made an energetic and impassioned speech, in reply to what he termed the unkind and premature assaults on the reporl and recommendations of the Committee, and declared his determination to stand by them to the last extremity.

Class, Houston, Mangum, Foote and Dickinson also sustained the report and its recommendations. The chief provisions of the report are thus stated by the telegraph First The Committee are unanimously of opin ion that new States may be formed out of Texas under the terms of the compact entered into by the United States in the Resolutions of Annexation, and that when they are so formed they have a clear and undoubted right to be admitted into the Union as equal States; but the Committer do not think that any plan for the formation of new states out of Texas should be originated by Congress, but should be left to the people of Texas also, that such new States should be admitted without nnv objection on account of the exclusion or permission of Slavery. Second In considering the question of the admission of California, a majority of the Committee are of opinion th it every irregularity in the pro ceedings antecedent to her application for admission into the Union should, in consideration of the many circumstances of her position, be overlooked, and recommend the passage of the bill reported by Mr. Douglas for her admission into the Union as a State. But the Committee also think it quite as necessary that Territorial Government should be furnished for the Territories of Utah aud New Mexico.

They had been abandoned, were inhabited by a mixed and unusually varied population, and were equally as deserving of proper governments, and should have them speedily. They were unfit at present for State Governments, and the Committee recommended that the bill for the ad mission of California, aud the bill providing Territorial Governments, be incorporated one measure, and passed together as one measure. They also recommend that the bills be passed without the Wilmot Proviso being attached to the Territories. Ther consider the Wilmot Proviso as applied to these Territories a mere abstraction. Third The Committee report as an additional section to the California and Territorial bill, a provision determining the boundaries of New Mexico and Texas, as follows The boundaries of Texas shall be the Rio Grande up to a point 20 miles north of El Paso del Norte.

tb.en.ee the line shall run due North along the one hundreth parallel of longitude till it strikes the Red River, and this line of longitude shall be the Eastern boundary of New Mexico. This line includes within New Mexico the town of Santa Fe and large portion of the disputed territory, for which the bill proposes to pay millions of dollars in stocks, at half yearly interest, the principal to be paid at the end of fourteen years. Fourth. The Committee reported a section to be added to Mr, Mason's bill, in relation to fugitive slaves. It ery stable in this city am acquainted with James Ward, Bubpett and Pakkhukst vs.

Jas. and Euas Huuuard. This case, which came on a few days ago iu the Circuit Court of New York before Judge Marvin, involves the question of title to per sonal property to a considerable amount. It terminated yesterday. The defendant, James Hub bard, a merchant of the city of Brooklyn, doing business for a number of years, failed.and made an assignment of all his property for the benefit of his creditors.

The plaintiffs immediately issued a writ of replevin to recover possession of all the goods they had sold to James Hubbard during the month previous to his failure, on the ground that the title to the goods did not pass to the assignee, in consequence of fraud in the purchase and assignment of the goods, and that the original sale and delivery was condkional. A great number of witnesses were examined for the plaintiffs, principally creditors of James Hubbard, alike interested with the plaintiffs in breaking the assignment. The Judge nonsuited the plaintiffs, on the grounds, first, that there was no evidence of a conditional delivery of the goods and, secondly, that there was no proof of any fraud iu the purchase or assignment. A'verdict was therefore entered for the defendantElias Hubbard, for the value of the goods, 81,334 65, and 92 59 for damages. A.Jtsennet should think Ins general character bad; would not believe him under oath unless corroborated by others.
