J. Van Ness, a merchant of Rochester, and an csleomed friend of some of our party, was our cicer rone at this place. It will ever gWe us most sincere pleasure to bear testimony to this gentleman's marked politeness, kindness, and attention to us all upon this uro to obey her dictates. Snappishness before, suavity fter dinner, certainly form the general rule. This becomes a very important maxim suitors and fa vorseckers.

How many ad individual has marred his fortune by asking the favor that would have made it before instead of after his patron's dinner. So fully convinced is an extravagant young Oxford friend of ours of the necessity of timing his applications to 'the governrr' for more cash, that he invariably sends his letters by the day mail, that they may catch the old gentleman napping just after dinner. The managers of charitable societies invariably make their collections after tho hearts df the subscribers have been opened by a first rate, tavern feast. The par excellence, disarm tho business like caution of tho booksellers at their annual auctions bv a like expedient and never think of puttinr to take over to Elysium and on enquiry of his guide why it was so, ho received for answer, Tlio glioat rejected aro the unhappy crow Deprived ot" Sepulchres and funeral due, Nor dares his transport vodse! cross the waves With such whoso Uonos aro notcomposod ia graves." The ancient Germans buried their dead in consecrated groves, and tho Moravians converted their burial grounds into gay and beautiful gardens set with shrubbery and flowers. Even tho North American I ndians showed great care and tenderness for their deceased brothers, by burying with them in the grave, tobacco, pipes, provisions, wampum, a bow and arrows and tomahawk, to support and defend them on their journey to the happy kingdom of their Manitou beyond the setting sun.

Thus we see the particular care bestowed by ancient, and also by savage nations upon the sepulture of their deceased Tlio Amdavila. The Star having acceded to our proposition, as made through the Eagle on Tuesday, we to day ful. fil our part of the agreement by publishing its affidavits, and referring such of our readers ns wish to see the certificates connectedly to the Star of to morrow. The point to be established, recollect, is not the general character'' of Ezekiel Polk, but the charge of toryism and the legal rule" of our colemporary, therefore, as applied to the former, does not hold. It is understood that tiie matter is now to be dropped on both sides.

Being requested to slate what I know of Ezekiel Polk also the public opinion with respect to the same person during Hie Revolutionary war, I have to say I heard but One opinion, and that was, Ezekiel Polk was a tory took protection, and was in heart and deed an enemy to his country and it was currently reported at the same time, that he was the Pilot of the Jhitish army, and led them in bye ways where they could do the most damage to the country, and I always looked upon him myself as tory. I am now in my b'Ulh year. Andrew Ei.i.iotte. Before and After Dinner. The various propensities and dispositions of differ, ent individuals haveoflen been dissected anddescribed by metaphysicians and moralists but so far ns we know, few have undertaken to descant on (lie fact that every individual presents many, and sometimes oppo eite characteristics, at different periods of the same day.

Some men, though amiablo enough in the main, are remarked to be peculiarly tetchy on raising in the morning others when they feel sleepy at night; bat there is no period when one is bo likely to make one's self disagreeable as just before dinner. "No person," says a learned writer on digestion, will deny that hunger is a painful sensation, whatever may be his opinion on appetite." When, therefore, a man feels hungry (which he generally does a little while before dinner,) he is in pain; and when a man is in pain, ho cannot bo expected to feel com Ibrlable Vrirhin, or to make himself agreeable to others. On the contrary, the moment his sensations glide from appetite to hunger, the outworks of philosophy give way the enemy saps the very foundation of his character. When therefore, you want to see a san guino man despond, a cheerful one sad, a forbearing man impatient, or benevolent one uncharitable, watch him while being kept waiting for his dinner. The best of tempers will not, at such a moment, require much provocation to get ruffled.

My friend Rollan offers an apt example of these frailties. For about twenty three hours and three quarters out of every iweuiy iour, a oeuer lnenci, a Kinder nusoand, or i more uidulgent father, does not exist but make your lunuuutiiuii 10 mm uuring tne nucen minutes Dciore dinner, and you will conclude him to be the reverse. His wife's smiles are unheeded, his children's prattle forbidden his friend's remarks unanswered. And wo unto the household should the cook prove unpunc tual! This is the dark side of the case. Most people are well disposed after dinner.

In proportion as pain is great, so arc the pleasures of alleviation and, when the cravings of appetite arc satisfied, not only do the good qualities of mankind regain their ascendancy, but their bad ones hide diminished heads. The Chinese believe that the intellect and affections reside in the stomach and really when one considers the entire moral revolution which occurs immediately after dinner, the notion loses half its absurdity. The change which takes place is complete, ihat to describe people who have dined, is only necessary to invert every characteristic of those who have not then the despondent are filled hope the irritable appear patient the melancholy are gay the miser becomes philanthropic, and the misanthrope good company.

His vivacity and intimate knowledge of all the localities, made our ride through the city and environs most pleasant and agreeable, which other wise might have been dull and uninteresting. Disposed in two carriages we set off in the morn ing, which was bright and smiling, to make the cir cuit of the city.

Rochester may well be called a city. There is a city cut and air about it that cannot be mistaken. Wo all felt as if wheeling along up Washington or Hicks street. It is situated on both sides of the Genesee river, seven miles from Lake Ontario, two hundred and fifty miles from Albany, and two miles above steamboat navigation, contains 25,000 inhabitants, and is a place of extensive business. It is laid out regularly, with the streets running paralicl with, and at right angles to, the river as a base.

The streets are well macadamized in the centre, and paved at the sides have good sidewalks, and the nightly wayfarer, with sheets in the wind or close reefed, is in no danger of running foul, for lack of good lights. Many of the churches and dwellings, when taken in connection wilh the beautiful grounds and gardens around them are elegant. Everything about wears a strong New England semblance, and we were informed that this section of our State was mainly settled by people from the land of steady habits." This young queen city of western New York has laid the foundations of her kingdom, and placed the crown upon her own head since the last war between the United States and Great Britain. Literary and humane institutions are very numerous. Tho Arcade is a large, handsome, unique building, occupied for stores and offices, which are entered from a court in the centre, the upper stories being provided with flights of stairs and balconies for the purpose of access.

The great secret of the growtli and prosperity of Ttocheslcr is found in the immense water power for manufactories, furnished by the Genesee river. This power has been estimated by some, to be equal to the power of 38,000 horses, or nearly 2,000 steam engines of twenty' horse power each, and to be worth 310,000,000 or thereabouts annually. A very small portion of this is needed or used. In the distance of about to miles the rivel falls 280 feet, sometimes in rapids, and occasionally in a perpendicular plunge. The great or upper fall is ninety five feet perpendicular, and its face is wonderfully smooth and straight across the river, rising with all the regularity of work by a "crack'' stone mason.

Near the centre of the fall, the rock, from top to bottom, forms a well turned semicircular projection, from which poor Sam Patch took his fatal leap into eternity. The lower fall, a mile farther down, is seventy feet in height, but not perpendicular, and the falling water here is lashed into foam and spray before reaching the bottom. The river between these fulls and for some distance below, runs in a deep ravine, cut through the rock, from which rise steep rocky banks to the height of 100 and 200 feet, plainly showing a dozen different strata in their formation. The city is now engaged in cutting a highway along the sides of these precipices, for the purpose of opening a better communication with the steamboat landing below. The large flour mills, celebrated all the world over, arc ranged along the banks of the river above and below the upper fall, and receive the water through short side canals.

There are now twenty two of these establishments, mostly built of dark stone, one of which, belonging to Beach we visited, and found that it contained ten runs of stories, and turned out six hutidred barrels of first quality prime flour per day. The water rushes from the races of these mills hank j.iiu ui iiver uuini me precipitous banks, lorming a great number of beautiful little cascades. It is said that more flour is manufactured in Rochester than at any other place in the world. The Erie canal, as widened, is thrown across the river at this point upon seven high, wide sprung arches. The immense aqueduct and arches arc built of granite blocks, smoothly hewn, and cemented together, and guarded on the top by a strong iron railing.

The little canal boat passes along upon a smooth, placid surface of water, fifty feet in width, for a distance of 8'M feet, while the "river rushes and tears along below as if enraged at the quiet security of the floating craft above The Genesee Valley Canal joins the Eric Canal here, and extends southerly to Olcan, on the Allegany river, 106 miles. This Canal, when completed, will cost nearly 85,000,000 while the Erie Canal more than three times as long, costless than $11,000,000. About one and a half miles south from the city, in the suburbs, is MOUNT HOPE CEMETERY. The burial of the dead has ever received the peculiar attention of all nations from the earliest ages of antiquity. The human form divine" is all wc can see of man we look upon it as man as our friend and brother, and talk about it as man, until the impression becomes strong and fixed in our minds that it is man, and is the man.

The soul, the only actual. living, moving, sentient principle, is rather thrown in the background bv reason of its invisibility. Attach ing then, as they do, so much consequence, dignity, affection and feeling to the living human form, it is not stranire, nay it is most natural, that mankind should reverence it, and pay it all the honors in their power, even when it has ceased to live, the likeness, the very form we loved is there it only lacks me. into we look, upon it, we can feel the influence of the spirit, and memory and imagination supply a language by which the living and the dead commune together, in thought and sentiment, very like to a mutual continuance of life. The man who can lightly treat the remains of his departed fellow, or deny them a last sad office of honorable sepulture, is worse than a heathen or a savage, for the heathen and the savage have never done so.

Many ancient nations represented Death as a pleasing, gentle being, a beautiful youth bearing flowers. Homer describes Sleep and Death as twin children, and Hesiod calls them the aois of ligld. fcfome of the greatest ancient sculptors have represented them as sleeping children. In more recent times Canova executed a splendid monument in honor of the Stuarts, on which Death was represented as a beautiful youth. Such being the idea of Death among the ancients they treated those who had fallen into such gentle hands with more affection and honor than the living.

The frightful representations which personify Death as a ghastly skeleton, bearing a scythe, are of modern date and it is strange that christians who regard it as a change from earth to heaven, should ever have given it such a horrid and disgusting shape. The Israelites were accustomed to bury their dead in turnbs and cares. Jacob's last command to his children was, bury me with my fathers in Iheeace that is in the field of Ephron, the Hittite." The ancient Egyptians were masters of the art of embalming, which is probably lost forever, and they applied this great art, with pious care, to the picserva tion of the dead. Immense tombs anil catacombs, all over the country, arc filled with human forms in a high state of preservation, which have resisted the devouring hand of time" for centuries. The Egyptians had a large common burial place beyond the lake Achemsia, on the shore of which was a tribunal composed of forty.two judges, whose business it was to inquire into the life and character of the deceased belbre the body could pass over tho lake and determine the place and manner of burial.

The Greeks and Romans were wont to burn the bodies of deceased persons, and carefully gather up the ashes into urns and sarcophagi, made of stone or alabaster, to be deposited in vaults. The mythology of these nations taught that a departed spirit cotMd notenter Elysium, or the fields of the blessed, until its body had received an honorable burial but was compelled to wander about on the shores of time a lone, solitary ghost for a hundred years Wc read in Virgil, that when" TEneas conducted by the Sybil, descended to Hades to sec his futher, lie beheld on the fercstria! side of the river Styx, an immense multitude of spirits which Charon, the ferryman, refused 1 up a single lpttill afterthe removal of tho cloth. In short a thousand instances might be adduced to show that the tide of fortune and liberality flows highest after dinner. How different it is the hour before. Then it is that quarrels are begun, law pleas commenced, cross fathers cut off erring sons with a shilling, and wives and husbands talk of deeds of separation at this inauspicious period editors become superpartieular, and Tejcct the lucubrations of doubtful, contributors and critics get so uncommonly vigilant that scarcely anything in book will please them.

friends, and some ot the humane and religious motives which prompted their actions. We, ol the present day, manifest a very laudable care for the proper burial of the deceased but in many instances otir Zeal and best intentions are most ill judged and misdirected. Since the pious emperor Constantino ordered his sepulchre to be erected in a church, hiscxamplj has been followed bv bishops and priests, until many churches have become little less than chainel houses, whose walls, and vaults, and sacred precincts teem with evidences and tokens of man's decay anil death. Tho rude hand of improvement will not long stay the old church must come down to give place for one more fashionable and the sacred relics of the tomb be disturbed and exposed in horrid stale the burying ground must be smoothed over for a public square, and every endearing memorial of the resting place of our friends is swept away. The site for a cemetery should be chnsen in a quiet, retired place, far from the city's din and strife, where Nature dwells alone in beauty, and birds can sing and flowers bloom, secure forever from the destroying hand of man.

It is most gratifying to see that the peopleof our beloved country are giving this matter their serious attention. Boston already has her Auburn Brooklyn, her Greenwood; Philadelphia, her Laurel Hill and Rochester her Mount Hope. West minister Abbey, the royal tomb of England, is all contained in a large, close, gloomy building. The Perc la Chaise of Paris, is handsomely laid out on the side of a hill overlooking the city, but is so lumbered with columns, obelisks, pyramids, monuments of al. kinds, tombs and funeral vases that it received tho name of the city of the Mount Hope is free from all charges of this kind.

It is retired, quiet, beautiful, spacious, spread out beneath the broad canopy of heaven over an hundred little hills, and possessing a thousand attractions to welcome home to his last, Iontrrcst the weary traveller of earth. It contains GO or 70 acres, belongs to the city of Rochester which has cut the roads, surveyed and laid out the grounds about six years ago and sells the lots for 30 each. You enter the cemetery through a massive, wooden gateway, of no particular order of architecture that wc know of, unless it he a kind of Egyptian, and immediately commence rising. Indeed wo did not see a level spot in the place. The whole surface is thrown tip into short, chopping hillocks, purposely, it would almost seem, to keep out the dwellings of the living.

The road winds and turns around among the hills and vallics now through a shady ravine, and then along a steep hill side, far above the tops of the trees below, continually wending its wa3r upward towards the highest summit, onmn a scene in the highest degree picturesque. These eminences arc cut into wide terraces, or stops, rising one above another, like the rock. tombs of the ancient city of Petra, smoothly sodded, and prepared for groves. In other places the gentle slopes form smooth surfaces for the lots without terracing. The whole place is densely shaded with a luxuriant growth of oak, hickory and chestnut.

From the two highest points, "The Pinnacle" and Prospect you can distinctly sec the whole city of Rochester, Lake Ontario, the Genesee river, Erie canal and Genesee valley canal, swelling far away through a highly cultivated, rich and most beautiful champaign country, like the veins of the earth's body, until the ski' closes the view. On the green; oval summit of one of these little hills, shaded with trees, is a plain monument of white marble, having a low pedestal, and square, tapering shaft, about ten feet high, whose simple and touching inscription will best explain its object. It was in these words hi. ciiut.i riij of the United States of America have erected this monument to the Memory of MvitoN Holly, the Friend of the Slave. On the opposite side is a most truthful, striking and well cut medallion likeness of this great and good man, and under it, Born at Salisbury, Connecticut, April 2 J779, Died at Rochester.

Not far off is a large, regular, deep hollow, called the Tunnel, down which you descend by a spiral path, and it resembles a tunnel in more than shape, for the bottom is always found dry, even after the most violent storms. Many of the lots are handsomely fenced, and tomb stones and monuments of divers forms arc scattered through the ground.

Mount Hope is yet in its infancy," rude and uncultivated, comparatively, and when its natural beauties have been brought out by cultuie, it will be a most delightful spot, where the living will love to resort feel the influence and presence of the dead. Wc have set down this day as one of the plcasant csl in our lives, and such arc its impressions upon our minds, that whenever wc think of Rochester the thought comes hand in hand with a desire to see it again.
