Too much sensibility is the source of unending misery to its possessor. Some people are so excessively sensitive, that in the absence of real grievances, they must weep over imaginary ones. If no real object of sympathy ex cites them, they can still share the misfortunes of the heroine of some romance. If none of their neighbors arc wretched, they will become melancholy over the miseries of tho inhabitants of Tim buctoo, or weep over a dead donkey, like Lawrence Sterne. If no part of our globe is harrassed with wars, pestilence, famine or barbarity, they will grieve for the inhabitants of the moon, lest the situation of her imaginary mountains should happen to alter, or dread the extinction of the sun if the spots on his disc should appear to increase; or if no comet should bring him a supply of fuel, they fear he will burn out and become extin guished, like an exhausted street lamp.

If they take to astronomy, it is only to learn how terrible it would be if the motion of the planets should become so irregular as to need repairing, if the earth should deviate from its ancient beat, and become so eccentric as to lose its way and bump its head into tha face of some nuiglioring planet, or run into the fiery embrace of the sun. These over sensitive people are never shocked at real evil so much as imaginary. They will sor ow for the fate of the Angelina of the last novel, because she was prevented from running away with her father's clerk; but the thoughts of a poor scam stitching widow, with half a doxen ragged children, would be too vulgar to touch their sym pathy. There is a great deal of fine feeling thrown away, which would be uselul ll rightly bestowed. Souls and Bodies.

What treasures of wives Asiatic women must make; for, according to their prophets, the women have no souls. Just think of it Beauties of the most luxuriant charms without souls. Here soul is the utter ruin of half the sex. Where women have soul enough to combat the bearded monster, man; to dispute his monopoly of politics and pantaloons, to edit and publish newspapers; to preach temperance; and to undertake a universal reforma tion, threatening to bring the whole social fabric about our ears. A girl of eighteen will have soul enougli to spend a hundred dollars in half the time her father can make.

If once she gets mated, will have enough soul to purchase the en tire contents of a toy shop. Some of them have souls enough to act as if they had no souls at all Commend us to the Asiatic beauties, who may produce babies, but never think of giving birth to an idea, leaving the thinking altogether to the masculines. A Wi.sk Steward. The late Amos Lawrence, of Boston, it is said, gave away during his life, more than five undred thousatul dollars.

Pet of John Ocsau lo have lots on Spencer street, 200 ft north of Park av, filled up to Captain 4th Police diet. Aid Graham moved to suspend the regular order of business to allow the committe on Armory to report adopted.

He then read tho report of the committee. Aid Neely asked if the committee had not procured plans and specifications of a new building for the purpose. He thought SI, 500 would go a very short way in covering the expense of the building it would take nearer $50,000 to erect a building with proper entrance, apartments, and place for strong ordinance. It would take six lots, and the building alone would cost 820,000. Aid Graham thought it little enough to provide the military with a house, when they bore their own expenses, and supported themselves, and were liable to be called out at any moment, if occasion should require.

Aid. Neely replied that the amount of commutation granted to the military last year was tho rent of tho Armory, 8500, was borne by the city. Aid. Fowler asserted that the resolution attached to the report was illegal, as there was no appropriation nor money in the Treasury to moot the expense. Aid.

Merrill said ho had been informed by the military that no larger sum than 815,000 would bo asked for the expense of the building, and if such was the case hi; would vote for it. Aid. Graham explained that the sum mentioned in addition to the proceeds of the sa le of the old building would be' all that would be asked. Aid. Dayton considered it would be prudent for the Common Council to sec that arms, for which they have given 840,000 security, should be in a place of safe keeping.

The vote was then taken on the adoption of the report, which was carried as follows: Ayes Brainard, Marvin, Hawxhurst, Ilico, Remsen, Evans, Graham, Wilson, Wyckoff, Oliver, Hinman, Harteau and Dayton 13. ioes ureen, Holt, fNeoly, Marvin, Fowler, liay lis, Booth 7. Aid. Graham then moved that the Com. on Lands and Places, in conjunction with the special com.

on armory be authorised to select a suitable site for the proposed new armory and report the same to the Board adopted. A communication was presented from tho Treasure. asking to submit the controvory between him the Common Council lo the Supreme Court for decision. Aid. Wilson moved to lay theeamo on the table for the present, which was lost on a division, as follows: Ayes Neely, Marvin, Merrill, Rico, Remsen, Evans, Graham, Wilson, Wyckoll' 9.

Noea Green, Holt, Brainard, Fowler, Booth, Hawxhurst, Oliver, Baylis, Hinman, liarlcau and Dayton 11. Aid. Hawxhurst moved that tho Treasurer have leave to withdraw his communication, and thereupon called up the previous question, which was carried. The vote was then taken on the motion to allow the Treasurer to withdraw his communication, which was lost, as follows: Ayes Green, Holt, Neely, Brainard, Merrill, Oliver, Fowler, Hawxhurst, Dayton 9. Noes Marvin, Booth.

Rice, Remsen, Evans, Graham, Wilson, Wyckoll, Bavlis, Hinman and Harteau 11. Aid. Graham moved to refer the communication of the Treasurer to a special committee of 5 with full power to negotiate for the settlement of the subject. Aid. Dayton moved as an amendment to place the communication on file lost.

The motion lo refer to a committee with power, was carried. Ayes Marvin, Merrill, Booth, Rice, Remsen, Evans, Graham, Wilson, Wyckoll, Baylis 10. Noes Green Holt, Brainard, Fnwlor, Hinman, Harteau, Hawxhurst, Oliver, Dayton 9. Resignation of Committees. Aid.

Hawxhurst presented the following communication We the undersigned, members of tic Finance committee, to whom was referred the matter of depositing the funds of the city; tho said committee having made their report, of which thu samo having been approved of by tho Common Council nt the time said reports were made; and subsequent action ol the Common Council having taken the matter out of the hands of your com in it tee viewing the same as a want of confidence in your committee, we therefore respectfully tender our resignation as members of the Finance committee.

The treasury question came up again last evening in the Board of Aldermen on a commu nication from the Treasurer in which he stated that he had reluctautly differed from the Board, hut had been governed in his conduct by the ad vice of the City Counsellor. He proposed that the question of difference should be referred to the Supreme Court now sitting in this city, and declared his readiness to comply with the deci sion, whatever it might be.

A communication from the treasurer was expected, but not exactly of this character aud it was consequently re ceived with much disapprobation, and a motion was made that he have leave lo withdraw it. After a long discussion this motion was lost 10 to 8. A motion was then made to refer it to a committee with power to arrange a settlement with the Treasurer. Aid. Dayton moved an amendment to the effect that it be placed on file.

The motion'to place on file was lost, after debate, by a vote of 9 to 9, and the reference carried, 10 to 9. So the question will be disposed of with out a suit and without the dismissal of the Treasurer. In the course of the debate last night there seemed to be among the speakers a general con cession that the course of the treasurer could not be sustained by the laws. On this point the po sition of the Law committee and of the Board has grown stronger at every succeeding meeting. Mr.

Baylis, who has been absent at all the dis cussions, in consequence of illness, was in his seat last night, and spoke with his usual discrimination in defence of the treasurer, but carefully avoided the question of legality. He maintained that the treasurer had his. rights that he had sought the aid of the city counsel that he had reason to place confidence in his opinion and that he was, consequently, not amenable to censure. For these reasons he was in favor of the reference. Other Aldermen took a similar view of the matter but none of them maintained that the course of the treasurer could be sustained by the laws.

Iu this respect the tone of the debate was very different from that which took place in the preliminary stages of the question. The decision of the Board last night, after all that has transpired, is not very complimentary to its two principal Committees. This question of the funds has been before the Finance and Law Committees ever sinco the election of the Treas urer. It was at first referred to the Finance Committee for report that Committee reported asking authority to adjust the matter the Board refused and claimed that its Committee should re port they did report, and then the Board took the matter out of their hands, and struck on a new plan, and put the Treasury up at auction. The Brooklyn Bank out bid the other Banks, and the Treasurer was ordered to deposit the funds there.

He at first made excuses, and then declined: the matter was referred to the Law Committee, which reported the law of the case, and pronounced the action of the Board all right: the Board adopted the report by a strong vote, and issued another mandate to the Treasurer the Treasurer still refused to obey, and gave the opinion of his counsellor as his reason the Board again referred the subject to the Law Committee which made a long elaborate report sustaining its former opinion the Board again adopted the report, 11 to and suspended the Treasurer Last night they again took auother tack and or dered a The Finance and Law Committees felt that they had not been properly sustained by the Board, and, in the course of the evening, sent their resignations to the President. The Finance Committee consists of Aid. Ilarteau. llawxhurst, Brainard, Fowler, and Marvin the Law Committee, of Aid. Brainard, llawxhurst, Dayton, Baylis and Green.

01 the members of these Committees, Aid. Marvin and Baylis, of course, do not resign but all the rest have thrown up their places. Their resignation was not accepted last night, but was laid on the table to be called up on a future oceasiou. We learn, however, that they will steadily decline to act in the relation which they have hitherto sustained to the Board. The Special Committee, who arc to have charge of the settlement, was not declared last night by the Presidont, but it will, of course, consist of such members as will favor a settlement.

Fortune Seeking. The mycologists represent Fortune as a blind goddess, with a bandage over her eyes, as if she showered her treasures hlindfolcd. Nothing can be further from the truth. She sees as clearly as a lynx. It is those who follow her are blind.

Those who pursue Fortune most seldom find her for like a coquette, she flies from close pursuers, and probably fixes at last on some mechanic who stays at home and minds his business. In short fortune nearly always accompanies industry, and may bo as often seen trundling a wheelbarrow as lolling in a coach and six. When peoplo are always looking after Fortune, and saying that she is in this place, and in that place that silver is to be got here, and gold is to be had thero Fortune is sure to elude them, and stay with those who mind their business. If one picks up a purse in the street, every one is sure to run into the same street to find another. If a man grows rich by patient industry at any every one must run into the same business, and in all likelihood ruin themselves and the trade both.

A letter from Washington says that there are one hundred applicants for the Consulship at Honolulu, (Sandwich Islands,) and that among thein are nine ex Governors. The office is one of considerable and growing importance. The Presbytery of Long Island are to meet at the Presbyterian Church at Hempstead to day and will continue in session two days. OrrosiTiox Crystal Palace. SS, STILWELL MONTROSS propose erecting after tho 1st of May next, a CRYSTAL PALACE," in no whit inferior in architecture, proportions and bennty of structure to that at present located lleservoir square, while at the same time, Ub position and communication with Terra Firma, will he novol in the extroine, land being expensive, and jiosinon everything in Uiis our Gotham.

The proposed building will bo suspended in mid air, svjfiamtly high to be beyond the reach of City Taxes, and cover a space bounded by Fulton, Nassau, John and Dutch streets. To effect this suspension, balloons will bo used filled with Gas, so that no danger may bo apprehended from explosion, this Gas being considered the true Fire Anihialalor. As the building will be entirely con stractcd of iron and ornamented glass, it will bo one of tho mostunique ornaments any city ever possessed; and, asit will bo brilliantly illuminated nightlv, the dark streets of the city will for once be rendered safe for pedestrians, while from its Crystal dome, tho delighted visitor may gaze upon a Panorama of Enterprise and Industry, certainly not exceeded in the world. On each side of the Palace will depend un endless Railway Track, worked by the machinery within tho Palace. On this, cushioned arm chairs of the most luxurious construction, will bo placed, so Uiatvisitore may he wafted lo and from the grand entrances, at a moment's notice, and without a single exertion of their own.

The Board then adjourned to Thursday next, 21st inst. As American Prima Donna. The Albany Atlas says that Mrs. Eastcott, an American singer, is attracting much attention at Naples.

From a reliable source we have learned something of the history of Mrs. Eastcott. Her maiden name was Lucy Grant, and she was a resident of Springfield, Mass. She acquired a home celebrity as a singer at the Unitarian Church in this city. Not yet sixteen, Miss Grant married Mr.

R. Eastcott, a graduate of the Royal academy of Music, London, and an accomplished violinist, who gnve her musical instruction. She afterwards took lessons of Padden of Boston, and of Bagiolli, of New York. Soon after her marriage, Mrs. Eastcott accepted the leading position in the choir at the Presbyterian Church at Providence, R.

and afterwards a similar one at St. Pauls, Albany. About this time, almost unknown as a vocalist, she sang Casta Diva at concert in Tripler Hall, the audience expressing their delight in the most enthusiastic applause. Soon after, herself and husband left tb is country for Italy, where her wonderful musical powers have won tho admiration of the most severe critics. The voice of Mrs.

Eastcott formerly partook strongly of a contralto character, but through her unceasing exertion and training, it has become a pure soprano. Her trill is a perfect, full note one, a rare vocal gift. Mrs. Eastcott is but twenty one years old, pleasing in manner and gifted with an energy of character and steadiness of purpose rarely equalled. As a girl, actuated by a desire to surpass a rival singer in the Springfield choir, she succeeded as a woman, she has already attained eminence in the musical world, with every promise ot taking the first rank.

Several years since, when Mrs. Eastcott gave concei ts through New York from Albany to Rochester, her talent was acknowledged by all who heard her; and we predict that on her return to the United States, she will secure a place in public favor, second to that of no vocalist who has ever appeared on American boards. Cleveland Herald. Tun State Mknauekih. Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, the Menagerie, under the especial patronage of the State, was again opened to the 'dear people the animals, fatigued and jaded by constant 'stirring up' for an hundred days, were once more brought out, and the 'scenes of the circle commenced with a serio comic sketch, produced at great expense to the State, and with an entire change of costume, etc.

The 'show' opened with a medley howling from all quarters, and one of the more uproarious 'critters' was finally placed in confinement by the keeper until he became mollified, when he was again set at liberty. After sundry evolutions by the 'hextrahordinary the 'show' closed for the day. Albany Transcript.
