Amendments to tho Citr Charter Agree merit between both Houses. Albany, April 27. After the. funeral ceremonies, yesterday afternoon, the Senate held a eeasion.

whloh yras prolonged until midnight, the subject under consideration being the New York City Tax Levy. The first item calling out dlBcuaaion was that appropriating. $500,000 jr keoplng tho streets clean," tho to bo given out by contract, nd the Mayor, Comptroller and Reoorder to be the Commissioners to make the contract on tho part of the Stato It was claimed that this would be utterly unfile to Street Inspector Boole, and It waa moved that ho bo Bdd to the commission The opposition did not entirely objeot to this, but they that if he was to bo brought in, they would want tbe further addition of Mr. Devlin, the Corporation Counsel. Attej muoh debate tho two names wero added, by way of compromise.

Bome of the Radicsls next attempted to insert a clause abolishing the office of Tax Commlssionor, and they came within two votes of carrying thtlr proposit on. They noxt attempted to drag tho defunct Health bill in, by way of an amendment, and the voU Btoo'd 1) to 10 They say that they will try It again, and feel confident of being ablo to carry it. It will be remembered that this obnoxious Health bill has been twice killed in the Assembly tho present session, owing to the indefatigable exertions ot Mr. Boole, who apparently understands how to manage the trading elomenta in the lower House. He Ib the only one who has been ablo to draw a dozen or more of the Republicans from the support of a partlain measure, and I suppose it is altogether unnecessary to inquire as to tho character of tho influences employed.

Whilo tho Loyal Leaguers express confidence in their ability to lesuscitate it by tacking it on to tho Tas Lew In the Senate, tbe iriends of Mr. Boolo aro equally oon fidi ut thut if they do Bucceed, it will result in the detcat of the Tux Levy ui tho Assembly. In tno inoamiuio theie are to many objectionable features already in tua Levy, that there is now a dispesitlon to let It alone, and there is eome leuson to doubt whether it will become a law. Tho Legislature will undoubtedly adjourn by Saturday, and ulthough tho Levy has yot to go to the House, the Senate refused to mnko it a special order for tn night. The bill to exempt tho Father Mathew Total Ab Btimnco Society uf South Brooklyn, coniiug up for final reading, it was loBt, whorenpon Mr.

Murphy moved to recc wsidor, aud to lay that motion on the tablo which motion prevailed. It is doubtful whether votes 'euou can be secured to pass it.

Lecture by Her. A. A. Willitts. A veiy lnrpe audience nssemblod last evening at tho Second United Presbyterian Church in Atlantu slrcct, corner of Bond, to listen to a lecture, entitled Sunshine cr the Secret of Happiness," delivered by Rev.

A.V. illitts, D. of the First Reformed Dittoh Church. Tho lecturer wa9 Introduced by Rev. J.

D. Patterson, pastor of tho church, Commencing by saying that ho intended Id apeak of eunehino in itsfipurative aeuse, theroverend gentleman went on to Bay that bunnbino of the heart waB far moro prcciouB than uny of tho physical delights, and thut, cbeerfu' and hopeful thing, enables evory one to bo tho dispenser of happiness. There are persons whoso very look does good, like medicine, and very good medicine is to me their faces beaming with happiness. Thoro ia nothing that mure a beautiful face so much as an evil tcmpeiand nothing beautifies it like sunshine. This la then the.

spring ot happiness, and tbls ia always felt when looking uppn genial It la impoislblo to describe tho disagreeable effects of the dispositions of some persons who are always anticipating calamity, always looking upon tho dark aide of life, and filling their hi arts with dread of evil. Many minds are so Indis posed that they defeat their own happiness. A groat many persons aro unhappy becauBo they are governed by a malignant temper. Prldo is one of tho most evil caUBes. Proud people are always contrasting their con dition with that of toose above them, and when they see otheia who have poEeeasionB which they havo not, they think it unjust.

Tula is one of tho most atupld and ridiculous passions people can indulge in. The enjoyment cf this lite dependB not only upon the temper we go through, lile with, but how wo look upon things. 8omo people do not discover their blessings, but they are always keen enough to see; anything that Is unpleasant If they could get tbe bliud eye upon tho bad aide and the good eye upon the plaasant side, it would be far better. If all go through hie seeking the unpleasant things, enough of them will be' found. But if all go Eeeking that which is enough will bo found also.

Persons who only seek defects can point out every defect of character, and every epot of ntBt in tho title, but never see the unpleasant things. There are some persons who go through this lifeKike spiders, drawing poison from the sweetest flowers, and there aro others who draw honey from the bitterest ones. wlae. man feels that tho real wanta of life are fow, and' thia gives him "chance" In securing happiness. How'many there are who Imagine their unhapplnass results from theirl circumstances, Go and visit the lady who the world says has married well; she will be found melancholy, she will always give you a list of her dlaagresables; and tell how unfortunate sha is.

Afterwards you visit; her in different circumstances, She has become richer; her buahand perhaps has bad a government oontiaet, ot has "Btruck He." Mo then, when she is considered happy. She win bo found as melancholy as ever; she will treat you with the same list otdiBagreeables: pert haps one Is because the back door does not open, right, or because the servant girl in the kitchen has not all the Christian graces; but Christian the lecturer said; can't be found for $19 a month. It la tho Bamewlth men, and ibis Is because they all look upon'the unpleasl ant side of life. The reverend gentleman then concluded his discourso with a fi apposite illustrations', and the audience waB dismissed wlth'a'bencdictlon. Obittjaby.

Mrs. Margaretta O.Stevens, wife of Rev. Abel Stevens, D. was buried from tho Methodist Episcopal Personage, at Mamaroneck, this at ternoon at one o'clock, 'will be remembered that Dr. StevenB wis Pastor ot the Firat Place Methodist Epli cbpalpkBrstii for, two, years, and was very mseb admired by that Dthominatich, who 'sympatliiio I notice in theEfons that you head the list of lt employees to help raise a monument In Brooklyn to tho memory Abraham Lincoln.

ThlB is Tory proper In ItsoUand worthy the patriotism of the representative press of the City of Chorohofl, but in view of the fact that the Father of his couutry, the great and good Washington has never been similarly honored in Brooi Ijn, think it In bad taste. Abraham Llnooln was, no doubt, an honest man, and latterly deserved well of his country, and tho manner of his death may create fool hips in the publio mind not warranted, to some extent at least, by bis publio actions as President; but George fWasblngton wis man against whom oven tho enomios of freedom had 'naught to say a great Genera), a groat patriot, a great statesman. Lot us first have a monument to the memory of Washington. J03THJE. manner of the President's death apart from all other considerations rendered it peculiarly proper that all should unite in, honoring his memory.

If we can at all evince in Ithis the universal abhorrence we all feel for the crime, it will be something gained. It is well that the world should knojy. that whatever may bo our political differehcoB, those who raise their hand against, the President of the United States, by their aot render his memory only moro dear to his countrymen. Inasmuch as sympathy with Booth's crime would encourage others, so do we believe that a marked and unanimous disapproval of it, as will be seen by all aiding in the undertaking hero found fault with, will tond to make assassination more odious, if possible, than it is, There is a sort of benevolenco which is cheaply indulged in, by finding fault with the particular appeal made to it, and doclaring that there are more commendable objects in tho world than that presented for consideration, but it most frequently happens that this sort of charity ends where it begins in fault finding. As there is no project on foot to erect a statue to Washington, we cannot for the life of us sec, in what we can aid our correspondent by withholding our countenance from the project now under contemplation.

Let us be frank about this business. Thore are Bome among ub who do not bolieve that the memory of the late President is entitled to any especial credit. Very good; but what is the use of withholding it under cover of a peculiar affection for tho memory of Washington? The End of Booth. The despatches we published in onr lato editions yesterday embraced all tho particulars concerning the pur suit and. death of the assassin Booth, and the capture of his confederate Harold.

A Dr. Mudd, or Mudge, who set Booth's fractured leg and gave him a pair of crutches, has been arrested and it is expected will bo tried as on accessory for aiding Booth to escape, There is a good deal of regret expressed that Booth was not captured alive, that he might have been executed like a malefactor; but he could not have diod a more disgraceful death than ho did. Hunted down like a wild beast, and Bhot in his lair, snfforing three hours of agony before death, Murderers who finally suffer tho extreme penalty of tho law have always an advantage over their victims. Tho latter without a moment's warning or time for preparation, are "sent, to their audit unannealed," while the murderer has time for repentance; and if the divines who attended in thoir last moments all the crirainals who have been hung in this country and in England for years past, are to to be trusted, this eleventh hour repentance is accepted, and the dying wretch is assured that his peace is made with his maker. Booth had no grace, no such opportunity, he was sent out of tho world with his sins upon his soul, and to those who believe in tho doctrine of futuro punishment and reward, his end was moro terrible than it would have been, had ho been captured alive, tried, condemned and executed, giving him time, necessarily, to prepare for death.

And were he unrepentant, and sustained to the last by the spirit of mock heroism and bravado, he has been deprived of tho opportunity of making a further theatrical display, which seemed so much to his taste, or of giving to the final scene nn infamous edal. He died a teariblo death, and on tho whole it is for tho be3t that his end should come so speedily, WhUe Booth lived the public mind would have been kept in a state of feverish excitemont, which now that the gtoat tragedy is over will be soon allayed. IjiroEiAKT Amendments to the City Chab TEit. It will be seen from the letter of our Albany correspondent that tho disagreement between tho Senate and Assembly on the bill amendatory of tho charter has been settled. Under this act the office of Tax Commissioner is abolished, after the expiration of the term of the present incumbent of the office.

The duties which are now performed by the Tax Commissioner will devolve upon tho Board Of Assessors. To this Board two additional members are added, bo as to provide for tho performance of tho additional duties. Under tho bill as it passed the Sonato, tho two assessors to bo appointed were to havo served three and five years. The Assembly amended the bill, making the terms one and two years, and adding two years to tho term of each of the present incumbents. By this amendment one Assessor will go out annually as at present, so that this feature of the former law has been preserved.

The Conference Committee of the Senate, it will be acquiesced in this amendment. Under the present charter the Aldermen recoive S3 lor each moeting of tho Board or its committees. Tho charter, as amended, fixes the compensation at $1,000 yearly. Under the present law the amounts drawn varied from $500 to $1,000 for each Alderman. These are the most important changes; we trust that the charter will now be Buffered to stand until its working has been fairly tried.

Bounties pod Substitutes to be Paid to Pmncipals The aot passed during tho early part of the present session of the Legislature, known as the General Bounty Law, provides that persons who furnished substitutes credited to the State on" the last call for troops, were entitled to receive the amount of the bounty, $300; and every person who has put in a substitute since the 19th of December last, will be re imbursed by tho State according to this law. There are some hundreds of persons in this city having claims under this law, whom, we would inform that such reimbursement will soon be made by the Paymaster General of the State, and without cost to the parties making claims. We would further state that no agent, attorney or other intermediate is required for he collection of such claims. The Paymaster General will have an office at number 5U Broadway New York, Rooms Nos, i and 5, on on and after the 4th of May, where proper blanks will be furnished to claimants, andaU necessary information given. The National Academy oi Design, N.

Y. Tho national Acodemy of Design, after an txtatenoo of nearly forty years, has at length been ablo to erect a suitable building In New York for a dopoait of ite treasures of ait. Last evening the new building was formally inaugurated with appropriate eternises, tho featuroot which was an addrtBS by Win. Oullon Bryant. Tho building ia located at tho comer of Fourth avenue and Md It is a stone structure in tho Gothic stylo, and of unique design.

Tho dimentions are SO feet in width, by 98fcct01uchc8, ln lencth, threo stories in height, exclusive of collar 1 The mam story is taken up with reception rooms, a council 'chamber, a library, dressing room, and other apartmonte.

All the decorations arorioh and in good tHsto, The entire cost of the building and The Democrats have carried the looal elections at St. Paul and Bed Wing, Minnesota, i CHANGES AMONG OUR JUSTICES. With the first of May the terms of our new Justice! of the Peace and Police luetics begin.

These Juitioef, of. whom there are flix in the city, hold their offlco four years, each terminating with April; thoyara elected at the general eleotion In Horember but unlike other city officials do not Msume the duties of their positions In the January succeeding; At present we have the following gentlemen in office as Judges: Honi. William M. Boerum, John Q.Adams, Channoey Perry. Benjamin B.

Morehouse, Abram H. Dalley and Anthony "Walter. All theso gentlemen were eleoted by the Republican party, a Bofflcient' comment on tho dls. senaions which for the last ten yoars havo leaded to tbe party strength of the Democracy. It ti a flDpular announcement to make that in Sings County, which has seldom given lese than 4,000 aud fully 1,000 majority, for the Democratic ticket, that thore is not a Judge elected by the Democraoy upon tho bench.

And yet it Is true. By the help of other counties we have one or two Judges in the Supreme Court, bnt where the Democratic party of the county has been loft lone it has been ahnost unlvetsallT beaten in Judicial At tho last eleotion, however, a change waa made end next Monday threo Democrats will succeed three of the Republicans above named. The retiring JusticeB are Hon. Wm. M.

Boerum ef tho First District, court room at the corner of Court andDouglass streets. This ge ntleman was olectcd four jeoie ago by a division in tho ranks of the opposing party. He has mado a capable, courteous and' discriminating judge, over ready to do Ms whole duty well and promptly. In losing him tho benoh parts witn a gontie man who received and deserved tho united support of tho party which elected him, and well fulfilled tho trust confided to him, Ho will bo succeeded by Hon, Michael Walsh. Judge Walsh, as his incline already begin to call him, has been for nearly seven yoars acting as clori in tho Pollco Court at tho City Hall, and has proved moro than usually capable.

He has been three times in nomination as judge, and it was only whonthe party consented to pull unitedly that thiB goutleman was promoted to a deserved position. That he will provo as earnest a workor, as competent au oflloial, as obliging and thorough ss heretofore, thero can bo no manner of doubt, lie has been all he should be as clerk; he will dosorve tho same mention in his new po. sition, to which bo has had an apprenticeship of siven years. It is understood eeiirl ofllcially that Ju.lgo IValeh Will appoint as his clork Mr. Edward Crummey, now of tho City Clerk's office.

lion. John Q. Adams, whoso court Is in tho north west comer of tho basement of tho City llall, also retires, Adams leavos a good record; ho his betn present in season and out of season, absooting himself lroru his duties only when a cry went up from our imperilled, invaded country. Then at tho head of bis regiment he boldly took the field, and whilo away at Elmlra in service, a home guard Republican was nominated in hiB place, and a competent, patient, patriotic official delicately laid on the shelf. The election, how over, resulted in the choice of a Democrat, and Judge AdamB will bo succeeded noxt Monday by Hon.

James Buckley. This gentleman, who will be tho youngest occupant of tho bench in this city, has been an earnest worker in tho Democratic ranks; his rising to a judge ship is his own work, and a good ono for a young man not yet 80 years of ago. Five years ago ho was appointed oltrk of tho Fint District Court by tho Common Council, and when Judge Boerum came in he remained with him until tho present time. Last fall the pcoplo promoted him to judicial position, which ho has tho experience and understanding competently to fill The present clerk, Mr. Andrew Walsh, will probably continue to act as clerk of this court.

lion. Cbauuct Perry, the Polico Justice of this city, who holds levees each morniug in the northeast corner of tbe City Hall, also makes way for a successor. Judge Perry has done a greater work during the last 4 yearj than any judicial offirer In tho city. His business has largely increased because ho has always been in his place to attend to it. Ho has been a caroful, ast and disorim.

lnctlng officer;" always considering each caso thoroughly and well, aiming ac a right dcoision rather than a quick one, No more palns takiug, conscientious offichl has been known in the history of tho bench in this county, than tho retiring Judge Perry. James H. Cornwell, well known as Judgo Perry's predecessor, is now to become his successor as well. Ono term in this very Court will enable Judge Cornwell to conduct its growing business in a mauner satisfactory to the public it not tho eriminals. As beforo, he will no doubt oxcroise that rare lacuity of his, which enables him to grasp tho mirits or demerits of a case almost intuitively and thus turn off a largo amount of business in a short time, doing It well at the same time.

Joseph Schmidt, it said, will act as clork to Judge Cornwoll. Hon. Anthony Walter was re oleoted last Fall by the BepubUcan party, and on Monday enters upon his second term, at the coiner of Murrell and Slagg streets, E. He is a Gorman, and well understands the wants, woes and tribulations of Dutchtown and vicinity. Ite port has it that Mr.

Wm. 11, Dunham will contiuuo as clerk. Judges Morehouse and Dailoy took their seata one yeor ogo. Tho Biliary of these Judges baB been $1800, and tho Clerks $S00. Tbe present legislature, however, hoe increased the salary of Judge and Clerk respectively to $2000 and $1000.

Hegenbothom, of this oity, who lost his life on board tho flag ship Hartford, in tho first attack on tho Forts of Mobile harbor, August 5, 1864. When killed, Hegon. botham waa in tho position of Actiug Ensign, to which office he bad been promoted for gallant conduot, he having left this city as Captain's Clerk.

He had greatly endeared hlmtelf to the officers and comradoa of the old Hartford, and in his' despatches to tho Navy Department, after tho engagement, Admiral Farragut mado epecial mention ot his gallant conduct, and particularly commended to the care of the Department hie wife and child. At the time of hia death Acting Ensign Hegen botham was 8L' years of ago. He had been a prominent member of the Fire Department of this city, having served Mb time in Engine No. 17, whore ho had held several positions of honor and trust. By hia ornery, talents and kindly disposition, he had won to himself hosts of friends In our city, who will long cherish his memory, and "keep green tho turf that o'er him grows." Hie remains (which were properly cared for at the time by the officers of the Hartford,) are now resting at tho Houso of Engine Co.

j6h.Dattk, Grand Sciibe, "The Harp that once throngh Tara's Halls" Interesting Lecture at the Brooklyn Institute. A veiy interesting leotuTD was delivered last evening, at tho Institute, by Ex Alderman Toruon, on Poets and Poetry of Ireland," tho proceeds of which were devoted to the poor visited by tho Society of St Vincent de Paul of this aflty. The lecture room wa i well filled, an audience numbering probably over six hundred persons being present. Among the Oatholio tlergy we observed Rev. Fathers MoGuire, (of Williams, burgh,) O'ttelll, CaBsldy, Corcoran, McGuire, (of.

Brook, lyn,) MoKenna, McLaughlin and hutuy others. Rot. father MoKenna introduced tho lecturer in compli. mentary terms, alluding at tbe same time to tho charitable putpose lor which tbo leoture wasgiven. Ex Alderman Ternan, on rising, was received with applause, Tho first part of hia lecture treated of tho literature and ancient bards of Ireland, and as tbe sub ject Is one of interest and the lecturer haudlod his subject in an agreeable and popular manner, we ahall piobably find space for that portion of our report of tho lecture.

In the columnB of our first page. Ainoug the Irish poets for whom Irishmen feel a peculiar allectioa the lecturer mentioned the name of DBAH SWIPI. Few men, the lecturer said, have such a hold on tho recollectlouB, pud may 1 not say, un tbo uuTeetious of tho Irish people, as Dean Swift, ltstauda out in bold re lie! among those uf tho poets aud writers who "dot only preceded, but who followed him. This can bo attributed in a greut dogroo to tho tact that ho was thu first great Anglo Irishman who oven affected to viudlevity Ireland's cause; and no matter whut motlvos he may have been influenced by, hu was tbo champiou oi li land's riyhts, and the unflinching advocate of her nationality, at a ttnio she had few to stand up for either. The Iiieh people, too, gilted wi(h wit thumsulven, oau highly appreciate it in and as uliuost every atrocity that is mentioned, aud tho ruins of very old castles pointed out are attributed with bitter feeling of hate by tho Irish poisHut to Oliver Cromwell, so all tbo gond stories aud tunny anecdotes that float up from tho euifjco go to tbo credit of Dean Switt and liia niau John.

His lauipooiiB were universally dreaded, lor ho bad a peculiar talent for satirical rhyino, and novcr attempted sublime or pnlhetlo poetry. Ouo ot his bittereBt onemies was Sergeaut liettswortb, a leading member of the Dublin bur. Tho lawyers used to boabt that Swil't could not get any word to rhyme witu hia name; and, consequently, tbut he wus free from his lampoons.

Ouo day while the Dean wus iu hiB study, hip servant brought him word tbat a mm with a large basket of game, a prosent from a friend In tho Couuty Wicklow, was in tho hall. The Dean wont out, uud having given the man a shilling, aud noticing dissatisfaction in hiB lace, asked waa not that ouough 't "It was a big load yout reverence," was tho roply. "My sweat' worth hall a crown." "Here aro five shdllngs for you," said Ihe delighted Dean, aud instantly sitting down, ho penned tho lutspoou beginniug At the bar tho booby Bcttswortb Tho half a crown would pay hia sweatawortb, And which, of course, waa at onco hailed by tho Dublin public with cb, era and laughter.

Another namo illustrious In literaluro is that ol Oliver Goldsmith. As immy hero no doubt have heard ouo ol tbe most gifted and eloquent of Irishmen, Richard O'Gi'rman, lecture on him.it would boworBotban bu peifiuous ior mo to do mote than allude to him. Tbo eia ot tho volunteers, 1782, that mighty uprising of tbo Irish peoplo; when such fond hopes wero with rcaeon indulged in, that liberty and nationality were again about to dawn on tho land, hopes that, alas, be loro and since, "Like the bird in tho story, Which flitted troin tree to tree, With a Taliemou's glitter in glory." havo proved bo illuBive was rich in songs, but fow of them havo been preserved. From that period until tho consummation of Ireland's euelavoment by the Uuion, wbh perhaps one of tbo brightest periods iu her history.

John Phllpot Curran Is in tho Chair, beside him is Father O'Lcary, just ai rived from Ccrk, pulling hU powdered wig as ho receives congratulations on thu suc oeES of his Ei say on Toleration.

Curran rings for silence and Binga his humor jus song, "When St. Patrick our order established." "When St. Patrick our order created, Aud called us the Monks of tbo Scrow, Good rules ho revealed to our Abbot, To guide us iu what wo Bhould do.

(Rears oi laughter.) GEOHQE NUGENT ItEINOLDS AND THE EXILE OF ERIN." At this time, tho County Leitrim can boast of George Reynolds, the author, iu my opinion boyoud reasonable doubt, of that beautiful aud very popular tong I he Exile of Eiin," which Campbell claimed to have wjittcn, aud which tho World lias generally g.vou him credit lor. It is of great iraportanco that tbls ox quisito ballad should entirely belong to Ireland, aud I tbiUfl there is evideucu enouah to place tbe matter beyond a doubt, Reynolds, who was thoroughly national, held the commibsiou ot the peace tor Lcitriiu. Lord Clare, who when Attorney General, had fought a duel with Cunan, was then Lord Chancellor, and his com plele subservience lo his English masters, and the notorious ptofiigaoy of his beautiful wife, caused him to be thoroughly detested by tho Irish people. Ho removed Reynold's name from the list of magistrates, whiih'drowiorth'from thut wit his celebntcd letter to Lord Clare, in which ho says "You give as tbe reason, my lord, (or removing mo from tho commission of tho peaco that Ito.ik bail for somo men denominated defenders," who houghed a cow and placed a threatening uotico upon ono of hor horns.

Had Ihey houghed your lordship, and plached a threatening uotico upon one of your horns, I would have acted in the samo manner. uuder similar circumstances. (Laughter.) nasn poetby in the pbesent cENTtmY. Wlih tho dawning of Ihe present century, Irish ballad poetry received a great impetus. Tdm Mooro (loud applauBe) was then about to to burst on the world with all bis effulgent glory; and tho poctie geniua of tbo country, which had been for ages wedded to tho Gaelic tongue, then jubt learned to free iteelf from the natlvo Idiom, and to become identified with tho language of tbe conqueror.

Wltbln the last sixty years, Ireland has produced a crowd of poets, who have sung as sweetly as ever poet sang, and who have been in their ballads, though wiitten In English, as thoroughly national and as IntenBely Irish as if Osslan or Carolan themselves had tuned the harp. How needless it Is to say that Irishmen only, and those, too, who bad always lived In Ireland, could havo produced tho ballads and songs which have appeared within tho period I have named, and which have afforded us so much delight. These ballads required for their creation great poetical genius, and that deep love of country, which ono of Ireland's most illustrious sons, the late Dr. Doyle, Bishop of Carlow, emphatically dcolared "should never bo sopa rated from the love of God." Perhaps, too, one of tbe greatest proofs of Ireland's geniua is the readiness with: which she not only adapted herself to the tongue which cireumBtanceB forced on her, but tho thorough mastery over and tho great excellence she attainod In that tongue. Tho great Scotch reviewer, wrote an essay on tbe EngliBb language, in which ho traced its progress from England's first poet, Chaucer, to Johnson and Junius, and he pays Irelaudythe great compliment of Baying, that thu present perfection of the English language Is chiefly owing to tho genius of Edmund Burke and of some other Irishmen, (Applause.) IHOMAS MOOBE.

Had Ireland sever produced another poot but Thomas Moore (renewed applause), she would bo entitled to the gratitude of the world, and he perhaps of all other men has done the most to make Ireland's name and genius' acknowledged and respected For ho wedded her virtues, her glories and her wrongs to poetry and Bong which can never die while the English langQago and refined taste exist. And while tho Melcdiea live, and that must be lor ever, the lovelie ii of women, and the most accomplished of men, shaU havo Ireland for their theme.

The questjon of the pacification of our country is now the supreme issue before the people. We need hardly say how desirable it is that all who are in fuvor of a policy which will insure a union of our people in fact as well as in name, should Bink all minor issues in their common purpose to give permament peaco to their country. The rebellion, as an organized power.has been put down, The still more difficult task remains of reconciling sections that have juBt closed a gigantic and embittered civil strife, to a common Government. By an unwise policy we may keep alive the bitterness which this war has engendered lor generations to come. Conquering a country is one thing; making it fit to live in is another.

Organized opposition to the English government in Ireland was put down whenover it manifested itself, but it requires five times a larger army than was necessary to protect all our borders up to four years ago, to guard against apprehended trouble in Ireland. This state of things exists, too, in spite of the fact that the English government of lato years is ondoavoring to remedy the errors mado in the past, in endeavoring to force a government on Ireland, without any reference whatever to the wishes of her people. Dreadful vengeance was exacted; robols, as they were called, were hung by the dozen on every cross roads; relentless confiscation was enforced, but all this did not give peace. Fight as long as wo may the old question must still be mot and settled if you would have a Republican goverament you must make it acceptable to the governed. Dividing the mon at the North who now seem to bo disposed to adopt a policy which may bo reasonably relied upon to secure acquiescence from the great mass of the Southern people, is their disagreement on the single question of slavery.

If that can be disposed of, there is nothing that wo see to prevent the united action of the more moderate Republicans and the great Conservative opposition party, on what is now the supremo question of our politics and until it is settled political action on any question is idle. The New York Tribune very distinctly tolls us upon what terms the support of the men for wich it speaks can be secured. It says: "Slavery is dead; but ite ghost may walk for yearfl if not duly and promptly laid. Its power for good to any clata or being liaa depaited; its capacity for ovil yet remains, Let Um Soutu promptly and cordially uuito in proclaiming Freedom ior All, and tlio hoarts of millions at the Nortb will bo softened and warmed toward tboir (niliR brethren wlio bavo been ongaged in the iieboUion. And when Universal freedom shall bavo beon reciprocated, so nearly as may be, by Universal Amnesty, tlio wholo couutry Kill see how faUu and unjust has boon tho cant which chirged tho opponents of Slavery with In regard to the policy pursued by tho Democratic party in dealing with the question of slavery, there is nothing to retract aud nothing to apologise for.

There were two methods of dealing with this disturbing element in our politics, and both have had a very fair trial. No Democratneed bo afraid to institute a com. parison between tho policy ho supported and that which finally prevailed. Under the one slavery was abolished in all tho States but two North of the Potomac and East of the Mississippi. The progress of freedom was still southward.

Slavery was gradually dying out in Maryland; it was all but dead in Delaware, and in Missouri her chiof oities had pledged themselves to the policy of free labor all before the war broke out. With full faith in the superiority of free to slave labor, Democrats were content to loave the peaceiul conflict between them. At tho time the Democratic party had almost uncontrolled ascou dancy in tno nation, negro slavery, on its merits, found hardly a single defender in either house of Congress. It was not until a party aroBe at the Morth which insisted on the abolition of slavery despite of tho legal obstacles that stood in the way of it, that the representative men of the South set about devising reasons in defence of negro slavery as a wise, profitable and humano institution. In tho natural course of things the South was driven to this position.

Wherever the Democratic party had control over tho institution they felt free to net upon it; but where they had not, they gave to others the rights they deBired for themselves. The gTeat apostle ot Democracy reserved the Northwestern territory to free labor. In our own State Governor Clinton first took ground for the abolition oi slavery within it, and the liberation of the negro was finally provided for under an act which Governor Tompkins a Democrat urgently recommended. Content with the progress which was being made, we desired that under the immutable laws which settled this question at tho North, it should bo settled at tho South. Another policy, however, has prevailed.

Under it a conflict betweeu the two sections of our country was provoked. The nation survives it, happily. It never cost the general Government a dollar to abolish slavery in the States north of the Potomac, what it has cost to do so south of it wo are not even yet in a position to estimate. Wo see part of its cost in the National debt, as burthensome as that of England, and which must be paid from tho earnings of honest productive labor. A.

half million men fill untimely graves, the land is crowded with widowed women and orphaned children one half of it is blasted and blighted by war, and problems are left with us to solve, npon the successful solution of which the very existence of our form of Government depends. The past is past and cannot be recalled. Wo must now deal with our country as we find it. If tho agreement of both political parties in the settlement made of the question of Slavery is all that is needed to re create at the North that sentiment of brotherhood and nationality in which the Union will have its real strength, no good men can stand in the way of that agreement now. The Tribune's terms of universal freedom and as near as may be of general amnesty, will suit us, and if, as the Tribune thinks, it is within the power of the Democratic party to secure the acquiescence of the Southern people in these terms, then the Democratic party bo far as we are entitled to speak for it, will throw its influence in the direction that will give the country peace and that will enable all men who are not inspired by an unreasoning and unprofitable spirit of revenge to act together.

The pacification of our country is now the main issue; until it is settled it is useless to approach the settlement of any other. Mr. Fillmore, who was signalled out for insult by on unreasoning mob in Buffalo, on the charge that he failed to show becoming respect for the memory of late President, went from his home to Rochester meet the remains of the dead, and was numbered among the pall hearers who reverently followed the corpse through Buffalo.

Proprietor. Amusements. Deii Fbeischdtz at me Academy. The first performonce for tho present season of Oroyer'a German Opera Troupe, whiob created such a favorablo Impression in this city last seasoD, wus given lust evening ut tbe Acodemy of Music, tho opera selected fur tho occasion biicg "Sir Frolsobutz." From Urn great success which utteuded tho performances of tbo troup; lust season, a crowded Iioubo was anticipated ou thu opouing night, but the grief! which yet haups llko a pall over tho public mind wua visible in the email audience which attended one of the best operatic perforiuaneos wo havo Betninsnnio tlmo. Tho audience present last ovon log, although not so largo SB It ought to havo been, was appreciative, and evinced lis pleasure in the must on IbUBiaslic way.

Marie Frcdoricl and Mllo. Paulina Canulssa, two leading membeiu of the Iroupe, who have been added Blneo its last appo trance here, mado thoir debut last evening, and oreatod tbo most favorablo im' prcBstnn. Mllo. Ficacrici possesses a pure Boprani voice, of Imnicnee power and volume, combined with tbe utmoBt BwectncBs In tho piauo pa ssages. Theso two elements wero shown in Bplendid contrast in tho "prayer," in which Bbo was rapturously encored.

Sho has a rich mtrzo Boprsuo voice Dot nearly bo sympathetic ns that Mile. Frcdericl, but nlmoBt as powerful and dls tingulBhed by a clear, rini lng tmitm.

Sho sang tho mueic of her rolo very satisfactorily, arid in the dialogue wos very effective in her acting, Carl Pernios song tho rolo of Caspar, and it is needless to say that it was sung couFi ienliously. In tho drinking song ho was unusually cx.llint. Ilahloman, who Bang tho rolo of Max, made ralhor a good iiiiprcsBion. His voico in tho middle register is very rich and full, as it also might bo in the upper register, but lor tbo fact, that liko all tenors of the German school, instead of cultivating coost tones iu Iho upper reeister, ho eingB what aro technically kuown as head ioneB, and falsetto notes, which BOinotlmes mar tho efiect of his flinging considerably. Tho opera, as whole, waB voiy eucccBsful, and Ihe brlmstono nccesso rics in Iho incantation sceno very ample.

Tho orchestra, under Aiischutz, was larger than wo have seen fir somo time, and rendered the magnificent orchestral music or tho opera in a very completo and acceptable mauner, The Park Theatre, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," seems to hit tho current popular taste tho play has never beioro been presented in tbls city bo effectively, Tbo itaturo of thu cast is Frank Drcw'n "Topsey," which is eeltainly immcuso.
