Thft member immediately convened at the Citv Hall, wittetajidingi thft eariiaess hour, fact that the arrival of the steamer was notgep the city, a persons theirigndsof Mr.

Buchanan and, curious spectators were upon the ground. The steamer reached her landing before nine o'clock, and as Boon as the gangway was lowered, the Reception Committees went on board, and were severally introduced to Mr. Buchanan: He looks as hearty and robust.as ever, though a little paler than usual, on account of the severe sea sickness from which, he suffered during most of the voyage. Alderman Ely, who was deputed to speak for the Committees, tendered him the hospitalities of the city, with a complimentary allusion to his eminent public services and private virtues. Mr.

Buchanan replied, that he was profoundly grateful for the honor extended to him, and would be happy to remain the guest of the city during his stay. He expressed himself averse, however, to a public dinner, or other demonstration. Ho spoke of the pride which, as an American citizen, he felt in our city, which was distinguished for its commerce, its charitable institutions, and its schools. He added, with emphasis, that he was rejoiced once more to sot his foot upon a land of liberty, and that he should all tho better appreciate our form of government, ofter his residence abroad. The Committee then conducted the city' guest to the Everett House, in Union Square, whore an elegant suite of apartments have been provided for his reception.

In the forenoon he was called upon by the Mayor and numerous distinguished citizens. Mr. Buchanan has consented to receive public congratulations at.the Governor's room, in the City Hall, from 12 to 2 o'clock to day, upon which occasion it is expected that the Mayor will present him the complimentary resolutions recently adopted by both branches of the Common Council. The services rendered by Mr. Buchanan, in a long and useful public career, call for the expression of all possible respect on the part of our best citizens, who will doubtless present themselves for the purpose at the time indicated.

Mr. Buchanan dines with the Mayor at 6 o'clock, P. after which there will be a serenade by Dodworth's full band, in front of the Everett House. He will visit the Astor Library during the day. Mr.

Buchanan will leave for Philadelphia on Friday. Mr. Buchanan's Welcome Homo. The Philadelphia North American, a Whig paper, makes the following remarks on Mr. Bu chan's return home It is now understood that Mr.

Buchanan is now on the ocean on his way back to his native land, and we are most happy to learn that appropriate measures are in progress to give him a cordial reception here in Philadelphia. An informal meeting of citizens was held yesterday, where, among varied political opinions and differing habits of thought, there was earnest and thorough sympathy in the impulse which prompts us all to give Mr. Buchanan, in this metropolis and on the threshold of Pennsylvania, a strong token of individual respect and of gratitute for his eminent public services. The Board of Trade, the proper representative of our commercial interests, at its meeting last night, took order to tho same effect. These are strictly popular movements, not meant of course, to interfere with any official action by the city authorities but, being popular and spantaneous, we are quite Bure, all the more agreeable to the individual who is their oTiject.

No public man ever stood in a more interesting and impressive relation to tho nation, to Pennsylvania and to Philadelphia, than does Mr. Buchanan at this moment. His reputation as a national stateman, steadily enlarging through a long series of years, (for he has been in our public councils for nearly forty,) is higher and surer now than it ever was. The retrospect of his public life, criticised as it may be and we have often had occasion to dissent from his opinions shows no act, or word, or thought of infidelity to the Constitution or the Union, threatened as it sometimes seems to have been, in various quarters, and throughout there has been the performance of active as Representative, as Senator, as Cabinet Minister, and in private counsel. Mr.

Buchanan has, too, a high national position in this, which practically should not be disregarded, that absence on public ser vice, for the last three years, while ne nas never disguised his opinions, has made him, in a great degree, exempt from immediate excitements, and has enabled him to regard, and perhaps control them, by placid and patriotic wisdom, through the influence of this very exemption. His diplomatic conduct, at a critical juncture of international anairs, is nigniy and justly esteem There has been a prevalent sense oi comiort and security every moment that Mr. Buchanan represented us abroad. We were sure of his tegritv. his discretion, his appreciation to an em inent degree ot the risks and dangers which proud yet peace loving nations run as they drift nearer and nearer to the edge ot that whirlpool which often engulfs and always damages and above all we were sure of his seen sense ot that sentiment of honor, delicate and acute, that throbs in every pulse of the American heart, and whose very sensitiveness may be sometimes stimulated and abused by designing or inconsid erate men.

Of all this we are sure and now that the trust is executed, and so far as his agencv can affect them, all our expectations re alized. the nation thanks and welcomes him. Pennsylvania too has great reason to ue proud of him, and to renew the kind greeting she has so often given him. It is not easy to avoid or use without fear of misconstruction, phrases wnich party has stereo typed, but in a broader and more generous sense than it was ever used before, wo can with precision say, that Mr. Buchanan is welcomed back as Pennsvlvania' 'favorite son.

Pennsylvania is proud of him, and what Pennsylvania does not always do, she means to say so, and to say it with an aclaim louder and wider than has ever been heard before, for there is a local sentiment operating in his behalf much stronger than political organization ever aroused. It is a sentiment, too. that we trust will not be trifled with. Tho eitv of Philadelphia if we may venture to des cribe it, the once Whig city of Philadelphia cordially welcomes Mr. Buchanan.

Her men of business, her merchants, manufacturers and artisans feel that they can look with confidence and esteem on a veteran statesman xhnee vorv experience makes him practically conservative, and who, as a Pennsylvanian, feels with us and for us. One who is surprised to find in nnr Rtrfiflts and in casual intercourse how ofrnncrnnrl TiTfivalent this feeling is. It is mani foat.in the nrnmnt action of our commercial men It was even more so in the unremeditated and meeting of Mr. Buchanan friends, iiicfirw.inn of technical oartv. where fnnnrl our most distinguished citizens, 6f all professions and pursuits, who seemed to be brought together only by a disinterested desire to offer a proper acknowledgment to a meritorious public servant.

Philadelphia means to do honor where honor has been so faithfully earned The Washington'Stor says that Senator Douglas's bill for the admission of Kansas, wliile it will pass the Senate by a largemajority, will have a clear majority in the House of Representatives. It provides, as our readers are aware, that when Kansas has the requisite population, she may enter into the Union with such a constitution as she may adopt, without reference to the slavery question.

After dinner an impromptu meeting Bdrganized, over which H6hl' H. Rhodes; presided, short and appropriate remarkB were made by Messrs. W. B. Lbwis, D.

M. Whtmobb andM. E. Ceabto, in the course of which the latter gave a Bketch of the improvements made and of those in progress for fulfilling the agreement with the city, and trusted that tho good faith thus shown by them would not be lost sight of by the authorities. Mr.

Lewis spoke in laudatory terms of the firm, and stated the very agreeable fact that the contract would result in a saving of $20,000 at least on the taxable property of the city during the year. These proceedings having terminated, the party took another jauat over the Island and about 6 o'clock repaired to the wharf. The tide being at an ebb the boat could not be moved and they embarked onboard a Bloop under the command of Cap. Hoffmire, and sailed for Long Island's sea girt shore, where they landed about dusk. After paying a visit to Mr.

Gborob Colbman, in Flatbush, and partaking of his "good cheer," they proceeded to Brooklyn in vehicles, where they arrived safo and all well pleased with the days excursion. The company have just commenced active operations since the opening of mild weather, and have already "used up" the remains of 540 horses. Their agreement dates from 15th February last, and as they have taken hold of the business in earnest, every encouragement should, and doubtless will, be extended to them by the authorities. The following paragraph, given as an extract from a Fourth of July speech made by Mr. Buchanan in 1815, is being extensively copied by journals which desire Bome other man than our recent minister to England, to be nominated at Cincinnati.

Absurdly enough they give the garbled extract to convict Mr. Buchanan of being once a subscriber to the Know Nothing phrase, foreign influence' Above all, we ought to drive from our shores foreign influence, and cherish exclusive American feeling. Foreign influence has been in every age the curse of Republics her jaundiced eye sees everything in false colors. The thick atmosphere of prejudice by which she is ever surrounded, excludes from sight the light of reason." The speech was made immediately after the last war with England, and history tells us how England strove by secret agents to raise up a party in the New England States opposed to the war, and in favor of breaking up the Union. The Hartford Convention still smells rank in the nostrils of patriotic Americans.

Tho Philadelphia Petmsyhanian, by publishing the whole passage in which the above language is found, shows that Mr. Buchanan was speaking, as Washington spoke in his Farewell Address, of tha danger of foreign nations or Governments obtaining and exerising and influence with the American people, in the direction of the affair of the Republic. Congress. In the Senate, yesterday, the first business was the consideration of the three million armament bill. Mr.

Bell expressed doubts as to whether this large amount could be properly expended within the present year. He thought it better to make only a small appropri ation now. Mr. Weller showed that the whole sum ought to be appropriated forthwith, in order to be used most advantageously. Mr.

naie opposed the bill. condemned such a largo ex Denditure in time of peace, and advocated econo my. Mr. uass said tne Aumimsirauon snouia not be held responsible for large appropriations Congress had sometimes made them in opposition 1 1 JI to recommendations ot tne Executive, mr. naic accused the Democratic party of making these large expenditures.

They had for years had full control of tne senate. Alter some iurmer ais cussion, the bill was laid aside, and the Senate turned its attention to the action ot the Board. Mr. Houston made a sarcastic and hu morous speech in condemnation of the action of the Board, after which the Senate adjourned. In the House, Mr.

Thurston moved a reconsid eration of the vote, by which the Senate amendment to the deficiency bill was adopted. The amendment referred to being to prevent the former law concerning public printing tbeinc so construed as to allow the public printer 20 per cent for extra composition. Mr. Hven and Jar. Clingman opposed this large allowance the printer.

Mr. Cobb of Georgia defended the Democrats trom tne cnarge oi voung ims extra allowance. The motion was finally laid on tho table. Mr. Stanton of Ohio then made a speech against slavery extension.

RECEPTION OF ME. BUCHANAN. ADDRESS OF MAYOR BUCHANAN'S WOOD, AND MB. RBPtiY" Mr.

Buchanan received his friends and the public generally this forenoon in the Governor's room of tho City Hall, New York. A large crowd was in attendance. At twelve o'clock he was conducted to the apartment designated, by Nathan C. Ely, Chairman of the Commit teo of Reception. Hon.

Fernando Wood, Mayor of the dty, then presented Mr. Buchanan with the resolutions adopted by the Common Council, congratulating him on his eminent career abroad, and offering him the hospitality of the city, elegantly printed on white satin. In doing so he took occasion to remark that the sentiments expressed in the resolutions entirely corresponded with his own. He felt grateful for his safe return to a country which has been so much benefitted and honored by his services abroad. Although a citizen of another State, and personally identified with another community, he felt that the interests of the whole Union had been well taken care of in his hands, and in receiving him as they did they but reflected the public sentiment of the state.

New York, so dependant upon the pat riotism and ability and prudence of the statesmen of the Union, can never be unmindful of those who distinguish themselves as their honored guest had done. Her commercial enterprise, associated with the general prosperity, can appreciate and recognize the obligations she is under to those who, like Mr. Buchanan, have so ably maintained those interest. In receiving him and ranking him their guest, and offering him the hospitality of the city, they only did that which they were conscious it was right to do, in consequence of the fidelity and ability with which he had discharged the duties confided to him. Mr.

Buchanan received the resolutions, and in doing so, spoke as follows Mr. Mayor I accept these resolution with gratitude. I consider this one of the brightest spots in my life. It shall always be remembered as a green spot in my existence. In the United States a public man has many difficulties to contend with, but such a scene as this, after a long period of public service, and from such a population as surrounds mc, is reward enough for the whole.

In foreign lands I have always felt proud of New York. It is universally known throughout the world. The character of its citizens, the energy and enterprise of its merchants, the benevolence displayed in its charitable institutions all combine to give it a character in every country in every placo on tho globe, civilized and savage. My heart swelled with honest pride yesterday as I ascended your beautiful bay, and I exulted in the opportunity afforded me of presenting Hb beauties and its thousands of vessels to the strangers on board the noble steamer on which I crossed the ocean. I reflected what has made New York what it is" The union of these States." Without that union what would be New York Such a reflection naturally forces itself upon the mind but for one, am one of those who never apprehend danger to the Union.

(Applause.) All mankind are interested in the success of our glorious experiment. It is the hope of the world and whilst every portion of the country is deeply dependent for its prosperity upon the preservation of the Constitution and the Union, of all spots on earth the City of New York is most interested. The citizens of New YoTk feel this truth in their hearts. In regard to my humble self I thank you most cordially for the appreciation much too high, which you entertain of myself and my services but too high an appreciation only demands my deeper gratitude. As you have such an appreciation of my humble services, I think it is the part of prudence to let well enough alone, and I shall therefore conclude these few remarks by ex pressing my deep gratitude to the Chairman of the Committee whom you appointed to be my companion on this visit we met as strangers, I trust we shall part as friends.

He then referred to the friendly relations ex isting between himself and Mayor Wood their friendship was of "auld lang syne," and he was hannv to sav that since their first friendship, it has been continued without intermission on both sides, and as they were both now going down the vale of life he corrected himself by saying that as he was growing old hiB friend being still young it will exist as long as they live. "Your kindness," he continued, was no more than I expected, and I don't know that I should thank you very much I would have been deeply disappointed had it been other wise." He concluded by repeating the senti ment that he would remember the occasion as one of the proudest events in hia life. The citizens then retired, each saluting Mr. Buchanan with a cordial grasp of the hand, as he passed out. Real Estate.

Having been recognised and claimed by the wife of a citizen as the corpse of her husband, it was duly borne to the grave with due solemnity, followed by the widow and children in all the habiliments of woe. Several days passed, when the husband and father, whose funeral had lately been celebrated, suddenly returned in the full enjoyment of perfect health. The surprise with which he was greeted, and his own at learning what had occurred, may be imagined.

The sequel of this strange story did not terminate so happily. Th sexton it seems had run up a large bill for funeral expenses, which the city authorities refused to allow, and the consequence was that tho man actually had to pay for his own burial. cnt Ai THE VIEW UUWN lU BAT AKD HAhUwWn a Tin itt Yeilerday aporlion of cttjf government dTsTOmbBrTrFl to inspect'the airangemehtsiiiadmdln.prflgress for disposing of deaarinLmal8, and oflal. ine party, consisting of ex Senator J.

With a good head of steam the boat sped rapidly through Butter milk channel, and passing down the Narrows, the many beautiful country seats on Long Island stood out in bold and agreeable relief. The verdure is just beginning to show itself and every other indication of genial spring is manifest on every hand.

THE BATH H0U8B. Among the points of interest to be seen from the deck, was that celebrated summer resort so extensively and favorably known as the Bath House, which will soon bo opened for the recep tion of visitors by Mr. Rathbun, proprietor of the Hotel in this city which bears hia name; Since lost season a number of improvements have been made, and it will shortly be openedfor another summer campaign with increased facilities for making it all that is desirable to those wishing recreation and the comforts and conveniences to be obtained at a well conducted and eligibly situated sea side hotel. BARREN ISLAND. Leaving Coney Island to the right the boat entered the New Inlet, and obtaining a distant view ofRockaway, wound up a narrow eBtuary and arrived at the company's dock on Barren Island in one hour and three quarters' time.

The Island is not as barren as one might be led to believe from the name. Its face is diversified by ridges, salt meadows and winding creeks. It is occupied by several families and glories in a hotel called the "Cheny House," situated on one end of the Island and which is a great resott in certain seasons for Fishermen. Garden vegetables are raised, but not in great abundance, the soil being too sandy. The ridges are covered with scrubby pines and the cocus plant is to be found at almost every step.

THE FACTORY. The Company had made every preparation for the reception and entertainment of their guests. A plank road leading from the steamboat land ing to the factory, (a distance of one hundred and fifty feet) had been laid down, which the guests passed over, and soon had a view of the mode of operation employed in converting defunct equine quadrupeds alia) horses, into something useful. The factory is a frame build ino, 40 by 75 feet. It is fitted up with two boilers of 24 horse power, a steam engine and pump, and four immense cauldrons, which are placed in range, and at the time tho visitors entered contained the carcasses of 65 animals in the act of boiling.

This process is required to separate the flesh from the bones and requires twelve hours' time. TOR USES MADE OF DEAD ANIMALS. As soon as the contractors or their agents are notified that their services are required in clear ing the streets of a dead animal, they proceed without delay, and convey the objectionable mass to their boat at one of the wharves assigned to them by the corporation. It is conveyed to the Island, a distance of thirty two miles, and dumped on the dock. Thence it is carted to the vicinity of the factory and is divested of its hide.

The body is quartered and the fat is carefully separated and placed in a receptaclo for that purpose. The mane and tail are cut off and put in a separate place, and the flesh is souzed into the large cauldrons for boiling. After this process the remains are divided and placed in separate heaps The head bones the ribs thigh, jaw and hip bones hoofs flesh clippings of the hides hair, and manure. The head bones are ground up and sold to the Gold Refiners, who make use of it for refining that precious metal. The ribs are converted into manure.

The thigh, jaw and hip bones are calcined and used for refining sugar. (The company is about erecting kilns for the purpose of preparing these bones for the purpose named.) The shin bones are converted into buttons and umbrella han dies from the hoofs Prussian blue is made and from the flesh Prussiate of potash is manufactured. The clippings of the hides are boiled into glue the hair of the manes and tales under go the curling process, and are used for stuffing mattrasses. The remainder of tho remains converted into poudrette. Thus, it will be seen, that a horse is not only valuable when alive, but every part of his carcass is of use after he has ceased to exist.

TUB INHABITANTS AND THE IMPROVEMENTS A number of families reside on the Island, most all of whom are in the employ of the Com pany. A Boarding house for the employees has recently been erected. It is 20x40 feet, and one story and a half high. Another structure for the Watchman, and one for the Engineer, each 12bv30 feet, have also been put up. Other improvements are projected which will involve the outlay of a large sum of money in addi tion to the $23,000 which has already been expended.

It will thus be seen that the Compa ny is in earnest and intend to carry out to the letter their agreement with the city. The firm consists of Messrs. L. R. Cornell, Moses E.

Ceasto, and James Harriott. The nature of the grant is to keep the streets clear of all dead ani mals whioh they obligate themselves to convey to the Island in their own boats and at their own cost, the citv merelv granting them tho privilege without incurring, or rendering them selves liable for any expense, either present or prospective. Before entering into the arrangement, the city had to pay largo sums for remov ing offal now it is removed for nothing, and some $20,000 in taxes saved per annum. THE FINALE. After a general inspection of the works and various places the party proceeded to the "Cheny House," at the other end of the Island where they had an opportunity of examining the boats and other appliances provided by government for saving shipwrecked mariners.

Retracing their steps they halted in a little grove near the sea shore where a sumptous entertainment was i ThU Paper of Is therefore nppnitt." Rev. Mr. Beccher and tike Sehnnpjw. A statement has been going the rounds of the press ihat the Rev, H. W.

Bkecher had come out in favor of Schtedam Schnapps. Tho statement has been published all around the country, and Mr. Volfb, the proprietor of the gin, embodied a portion of Mr. Bmschbe'b article in an adver tisoment, and unsuspecting people came at last to believe that the canard was a genuine endorsement of the gin by one of the leaders of temperance. Seeing the statement in tho Washington Union, in a leading editorial, we were led to give credence to the story, and to regard the extracts therein given as Mr.

Bsechbr's real sentiments. "Mark how a plain tale" places the saddle on the other horse. Four years ago, in 1852, Mr. Beeoilbb published a severe stricture, in the Independent, upon the Schiedam Schnapps, ridiculing tho attempts of the proprietor to recommend it to temperance men, and to represent it as something different from Holland Gin. Tho article could not possibly be roisinterproted by any who read it.

Mr. Beecher's closing paragraph was In these words And now, If our roadors would liko a sobor word at tho ond, in the way of our ouitiion, wo would Bay that we regard tills as about the most Impudaut attempt of pin Keller, tricked up with his modical indorsement, to got tho patronage of that largo class of orphan drinkors made hy the Maino Law. who desire to haro all tho bcnellis of drinking, with all the respectability of tompcrauco and Mr. Wolfe Is engaged tn tho interesting game long known under Hie vory liomoly phrasoof "whipping tho Devil around tho tunip." This, of course, puts the matter in a very dif ferent light. Instead of recommending the Schiedam Schnapps, Mr.

Beeches very severely ridiculed the pretensions of the proprietor. Mr. Wolfe cut out a few ironical passages, and published them separately from the context, as if Mr. B. really favored gin drinking As an ingenious device of a liquor dealer this would scarcely be worthy of notice.

But it becomes a serious mischief when respectable papers are led to propagate this error as sober fact. Having vrselves been led into error, we take pleasure in making an early correction of it. Trie Building Associations. There is a tide in popular delusions, as in the affiurs of men, which it is hopeless to attempt to stem. It may be the South Sea scheme which shivered the financial fabric of a great portion of Europe or the Darien Colonization project more disasirious than Col.

Walker's or tho tulip ma nia or railroad speculation or any folly what, soever but to endeavor to arrest it until it has spent itself and subsided, would be equal to the effort of Cnnute to repel the advances of the ocean. You are not the friend of the victims if you council caution their cars are closed to all warnings, and they rush on the rock ahead, with all sail set, a fall head of steam on, and enough motive power in operation to produce a thorough and complete smash. Never was this characteristic of recklessness more thoroughly displayed than in the case of the Building Associations. Never was such a glowing land of promise presented to the eyes of the hopeful and sanguine believers in optimism and milleniums as the fairy regions tff these Associations. Moore's Utopia was but a barren heath and a land of misery compared to the Association Bacon's new Atlantis was not worthy of comparison.

"Every man his own landlord," was the cry, the watchword, the Shiboleth of the seekers after the terrestrial Paradise. Every man might become an owner of real estate so ran the legends on the circulars although not worth a red cent and any one who would pay in two or three hundred dollars in monthly instalments so said the legends aforesaid would receive back eight hundred or a thousand in a few years. Of course this deception was too gross to deceive any but the most shallow and uncalculating but it served its purpose, and mechanics and laborers and the poorer classes generally rushed in like flies to a dish of molasses, or rats after a little toasted cheese at tho bottom of a steel trap. Once in they were not likely to discover their mistake except by experience. The constitution and by laws threw no light on the subject.

Never did the genius of deceptive pettifoggery achieve such a triumph as in concocting the said constitution. You read it in vain to understand what it all means it is a complete labyrinth of Crete you go round and round, up and down, and back and forth, and only get further from any hope of outlet. The most lynx eyed and unclouded genius could find no Ariadnes clue to unravel the twisted and tortuous passages of the constitution of a Building Association. Her schei might trace the orbits of planets deep sunk in space Newton or Franklin might elucidate the subtle mysteries of nature but to make this document intelligible and clear to any plain, common sense man, or even to themselves, would be a task beyond their powers. It was specially framed to deceive, befog, and bamboc plain people who were expected to encourage the 6cheme, and to throw dust in their eyes and it succeeded.

Men who will not be taught by reason nor by iho experience of others, go to school to the old tyrant themselves, and learn wisdom from his dunce block. So it was in the case of the building associations. Thousands tried them, because they did not know what the new contrivance would do for them. The know now just as Adam and Eve. by transgression, added the knowledge of evil to what they knew before.

Villages grew up as if by magic cities expanded prodigiously the very expenditure of bo much money and material created business and a great demand for labor. But when the delusion bad its culmination, and the victims began to perceive that instead of purchasing a "home, they had purchased bankruptcy when building ceased to be erected, and "To Let" began to stars at them on every side, and withal they could get but little work, and less money to pay their ever recurring monthly instalments, then they learned wisdom from experience, but too late to profit ihem. The lenders, so far, have had good pickings, but some of them may yet find Uu have not made so good a thing of it as they supposud, or even as they now suppose. To take houses in a deserted village at even half their coEt, nay be a bad bargain. The Committee of the Legislature, appointed to Investigate the working of these iniquitous and deceptive associations, found just such a state of.
