Franklin and tljclliirfoer. On Dr. in Paris, as Pleni'pdtenS; tiary from the Uriito'd States; during tlip Revolution'! the king expressed a wish to see ljlm immediately Madame Sontao's pncebt" Rehearsal to the Cleboy. Never have'wo. been witnesses of a mora gratifying acene thatvthat which place at the morning, the Clergy of Boston and.

the vicinity, with their wives and families, were invited to attend the full rehearsal of Madame Sontag's fifth and last concert. A scene gratifying alike to tho recipients of this great musical treat, and to the eminent artiste and amiable lady at whose instigation it was afforded. Long this spontaneous act of kindness be remembered, not only by the Clergy, individually and collectively, but also by our. citizens, who will esteem a. compliment so gracefully rendered to their pastors, as one offered to themselves.

By 11 o'clock the Meliideon Hall was filled strict care being taken that, with the exception of a few Itlucli Ado About Nothing The 'Philadelphia Ledger publishes an editorial article on a new science, which it proposes to es tablisK and call Oudenology. We have as many ologies already as would puzzle an arithmetician to enumerate, but this is decidedly the funniest ology of the whole, not even excepting psychology or spiritual knocking ology. The editor goes on to show the necessity for the new ology, and the advantages it will confer, as follows: "The word is a Greek compound, from oudm, nothing, and logeiaf the English of which is ology, much ado Hence as chron ology means much ado about dates; and zo ology much ado about beasts, birds, fishes arid ereeuin? tliintrs: and climate Character of tho I.ute Siev.Hobcrt IISaM. The lecture of Mr, West, on the genius and character of the late Rev. Robert Hall, was worthy of more attention than it received from the hands of our citizens.

Not having been able to send a reporter, we avail ourselves of the following sketch bf the discourse, which we find in the New York Herald Mr. West commenced by observing that acters of such men deserved to be' held r'p to pisteri ty as pictures. After sketching his early life, in which he was physically weak, and gave little promise, he proceeded with an allusion to the position occupied by Robert Hall, as a'. Baptist; minister in England, where all dissenting clergymen were held in disrepute being nearly all men from among the lower grades of society. And it is considered an act of unusual condesension for the State clergy to recognize them at ail.

In a few minutes a richly dressed monsieur, with his arms folded in a prodigious muff of firs, and a long, sword by his side, made his appearance. It was the king's wigmaker, with a servant in a livery, a long sword by his side a load of sweet scented bandboxes, lull of 'de wigy as he said, 'de superb wig, for de great Dr.

One of the wigs was tried on a world too Band box after band box was tried but with small success. The wigmaker fell into a most violent rage, to the extreme mortification of Dr. Franklin, that a gentleman bedecked with silks and perfumes should, notwithstanding, bo such a child. Presently, however, as in aU the transports of, a great discoverer, the wigmaker cried out that, he knew where the fault lay not in his, wig as too small, "Oh, said he, 'my wig no too small, but the doctor's head too big great deal too big, by Pranklin.smiling, replied that the fault could hardly bo there, for that his head was made by God Almighty himself, who was not subject to err. Upon this the wigmaker took in a little, but still he contended that there must be something the, mat ter with Dr.

Franklin's head. It was, at any! rate, out of de fashion. He begged Dr. F. would please for remember, dat his head had not de hop tier to be made in Paree.

No, by gar for if it been made1 in Paree, it no bin more dan half such a head. None of French Nobles had a head anything like his. Not de great Duke D'Orleans, nor de grand monarch himself had such a head us Dr. Franklin, And jie did not see, he said, what business any body had wid a head more big dan de head of de grand monarque. Pleased to see the poor wigmaker recover his good Franklin could not find it in his heart to put a check to his childish rant, but related one of his fine anecdotes, which struck the wigmaker with such an idea of his wit, that as lie retired, which he did.

bowing most profoundly, he shrugged his shoulder, and with a most significantly arch look, said 'Ah, Doctor Franklin Doctor EranUine I no wonder your head too big for my wig.

Pnblic Parades over Jfee Mead. The Evening Post takes much the same view of the parades, called funeral obsequies, which have, lately grown into fashion, as we have done. While it is glad to see the death of distingiiishcd'men'prop erly noticed, aud the attention of the public directed to their services it characterizes the drawing of an empty hearse about the streets ns meaninglesj and thepomp of the procession as an evanescent display, which leaves behind it no traces of the public sorrow er of the public respect arid it proposes that the vast sums which are spent in these empty displays shall, hereafter, be bestowed in the erection of monu ments or statues for the adornment of the public parks. It says: An obseauies. a nrocession, a parade: no riiatter how dazzling or impressive it may have beeh, when it it is once passed, is gone forever.

io one recalls it; no abiding impression of It has been made anywhere; and the celebrity in whose honor it was given, gains nothing from it in the affections or reverence of the people. But a monument is a lasting record. It is always present to the eyes of some portions of the population, suggesting to their minds the lessons it was meant to teach, and witnessing of the virtues and services of the man it commemorates. How much more valuable this than an idle and tawdry show 7 But monuments will have another advantage being works of art, as they should be, they would be7 come also perennial ornaments of the city they would raise us in our own estimation, and in that of the world. Nothing elevates the mind more than the constant presence of masterpieces' of art, which lift us above the dusty, beaten tracks of life, and inspire us with high and generous ideas.

Nor are such lessons more wanting anywhere than in this country, where refinement and delicacy of manners do not keep pace with either the physical or political development. Our city, and we believe every other city of the Union, is absolutely destitute of those out door decorations which give an air of so much elegance and beauty to the cities of the world. We have no large parks with their forests of trees and winding walks we have no stupendous public like the cathedrals and palaces of Europe and we have no monuments or statues to perpetuate the men or exploits of our history. An egregious meagrenessand penury, disgraceful to our taste oa it is to our liberality, is what strikes every stranger when he enters any of our cities or towns, especially if his recollections of the continental towns are still fresh in his mind. Many a little village in Italy, with fewer inhabitants than our smallest ward; is more profusely adorned than this vast metropolis.

Yet there is no want amon" us of subjects for the stRtuary's skill. Long since we should have had the effigies of Hamilton, Jay, Morris, the Livingstons, Clinton, Fulton, Yates, Wright, Cooper, and others along our principle squares or streets. Their services to the Commonwealth, their talents and characters, their prominence in the public eye, entitled them to this mark of distinction; yet, with the exception of Clinton, to whom alone a statute is likely to be erected, they will pass away from the re memberanee of their descendants, because there is neither stone nor mark to tell of what they did and what they were. The Sandwich Islands. A letter from Lima, Peru, to the Journal of Commerce, says "I am becoming alarmed for the fate of the Sandwish Islands.

The French question has never been settled, but has remained dormant for two years. They have now a squadron coming out, in which are two 60 gun ships, destined undoubtedly, to act against the Islands, which have no protection but such as may be granted by the United States and England. This should be seriously considered by our Government. Those Islands, in possession of a maratime nation, would give it the control of California and Oregon, as much, or more, than the possession of Cuba controls the commerce of the Gulf of Mexico. The Sandwich Islands can furnish more good sailors to man a squadron than can Cuba besides, it is not so easy to afford efficient protection to Oregon and California as to the States on the Gulf of Blexico.

I trust the importance of preventing the Sandwich Islands from falling into the hands of any European power is sufficiently appreciated by our government." Mb. Thackeray's Manner of Lecturing. It appears from the criticisms, of the press, that Mr. Thackeray's manner of lecturing is not very graceful. The Times says of his lecture last evening: We were never more thoroughly impressed with the extreme utility of pockets, than after witnessing the infinite service to which he put them.

If, on commencing his lecture, he had suddenly discovered that they had vanished from his coat skirts and vest, he would unquestionably have postponed his discourse until another evening. Both hands in his coat skirts one in and the other out one in his coat and the other in his vest one upon the desk and the other pocketed these various movements constituted the gamut of his gesticulation. Yet nobody wanted, or thought of needing more. Hook and Ladder Companv No. 2.

And so eager were they to avail themselves of it, that every seat had its occunant; The orchestra contained the children of Warren street Chapel and another school, whilst in the body of the Hall might be seen ministers of, all.ienoiriinatiflns, without distinction of sect or creed, mingling with their families in the of the musical Taken altogether it was a splendid rehearsal, and we need scarcely say that delight was visible on every countenance, and that Madame Sontag's reception was most enthusiastic.

Between the parts, Rev. Mr. Barnard requested the audience to retain their seals at the close the rehearsal, when Rev. Dr. Sharpe ascended the platform, and in a most feeling and iippropriate address, thunked Madame Sontag on behalf of those present; for the gratification which had been afforded them.

He reviewed the circumstances, under which this in fact full concert had been given, eulogising in glowing terms that kindness of heart which had prompted Madame Sontag to minister to the pleasure of those who were precluded from attending on other occasions, and concluded by invoking the protection and blessing of Providence on her, and her's here, with the hope that she might be permitted to mingle her voice with the seraphs hereafter, in praise of Him who gave it. The entire audience were visibly affected by this address. There was scarcely an eye to which the unbidden tear did not rise, whilst the calm and impressive language of the Rev. Doctor fell on their ears, and his aged appearance and venerable simplicity gave the undeniable stamp of truth to all he uttered. Madame Sontag could; not restrain her emotion her tears fell fast and the only utterance she' could find for thanks, was by taking both the Rev.

Doctor's hands in her own, and for several moments retaining them, whilst bowing her head in silence. A little girl from the Wurren street Chapel then ad presented her with a bouquet, hearing an inscription, whom she at once stooped and kissed. This act at once affording the audience relief, in giving vent to the applause they had been long anxious to bestow. Long after Madame Sontag had retired to the waiting room her emotion continued; and she observed, "Oh! that good clergyman never has my heart seen so touched before. How can I thank him, and all these kind friends 1" And on his being introduced, she again personally expressed her feelings to him.

The Rev. Mr. Barnard also announced that two Bibles the one Protestant, the other Catholicwould be presented to Madame Soniag, and i awaited the signatures of the clerey. A bouquet was also presented to little Paul Julien by the school children, inscribed "God bless and keep thee:" Madame Sontag has received the gratifying intelligence, that her eldest son has been appointed attache to the Sardinian legation at Paris. Boston transcript.

Incabcehation of a Poott Man in PsieoN. The Editor of the Flushing Journal makes the following statement, from which, he says, it can be judged of the justice meted out in Uueens county "In going through the County Jail on Tuesday, as one of the Grand Inquest, we met With a case that took hold of the feelings of those present with great tenacity. "In the corridor of the new ranee of cells we found quite an intelligent younsr Irishman, with a sweet and interesting female child in his arms. The phy siognomy ot the man was prepossessing. He said that tie had been there four months for not supporting his family that after having been there a few weeKs nis wile and cmia nad been sent to prison also tho former on a charge of assault and battery on a female occupying the same house, and that all three were the occupants of a seven by nine cell.

While he was telling his story a fear was in his eye. He said "God knows, gentlemen, I never had a shilling but that I shared it with my family. I had been long in search ot occupation as a coachman, when I was arrested, and sent to the County Jail, by Justice John L. Boyd, ol Astoria." He then produced a package of papers which he exhibited to the Grand Inquest. These papers were letters from his former employers in Liverpool and this country uniformly expressing the highest recommendation of the man for his sober, steady and industrious habits.

Why was such a man sent to the count jail, to linger in prison for four of the best mouths in the year, to be turned out in winter, when it is next to an utter impossibil obtain employment 1 The poor fellow actually cried when he looked upon his prospects. No one appeared before the grand inquest to" complain of the wife, and of course himself, wife and interesting little girl will be sent forth free to starve, if you please, when the court rises. Their few household things will have been scattered to the winds during their miserable imprisonment. The county has been put to about one huudred dollars expense for this case. But then it is possible that the man, his wife and sweet little child, mav starve to death as a recompense for the expensive jusuce wiuuii iias ueuu uuimuisierea io mem.

The London Times is still deploring the practical spirit of the United States. It does not believe that Japan is the real destination of the expedition fitting out under that name, but thinks that it is intended for Cuba. It says In the present state of affairs with Spain, we uic uy uu iiiuuus suiisiicu umi lupun la me true destination of this little fleet and it will certainly be extraordinary if this importannt detachment of tne American navy be sent across tne Eastern Archipelago, and entiiely out of reach, at a time when the relations of the United States with any European Power are unsettled or insecure. If we know anything at all of the character of the Japanese Government, the professions of pacific ln tentions'cbhtained in Mr. Fillmore's letter will be read with astonishment and resented as an indignity and not undeservedly so, for never did an expedition Bail with a more downright intention to take by force what it cannot obtain by favor, It is mainly in this sense, and as an exhibition of prowess and maritime daring, that the scheme is popular in the United State.

for as the charges brought against the Japanese Government are, to say the most of them, negative, occasioned mainly by their churlish refusal of intercourse wtth the rest of the world, it would be hard to say on what principle or by what right Commodore Perry is to be sent to instruct the Japanese in civilization and free trade with 10 inch mortars and 100 gun ship. The truth is, that the American Cabinet is prepared to deal with the coal fields of Japan just as it attempted to deal with the guano of Lobos, and there is no defence against such a policy but the possession of superior strength. W. M. Thackeky Wc perceive that this somewhat celebrated British writer has arrived in New York, where he proposes to repeat certain lectures recently delivered by him in England to crowded andgratificd We are glad to see that there is to be no reception such as was wasted up on Mr.

Dickens but that he is to be permitted to comeand go like any other private person. Mr. Thackery is, we think, the most sensible of all the living British writers for the million. His works display a combination of the highest qualities of an author. He writes with force, pungency and boldness.

Some of his exposures of the follies of high life, and of the corruptions of the vast civil and military establishments of great Britain, though concealed by the employment of fictitious names, cannot be surpassed. He has a fund of genuine humor which renders all his productions popular; and there is a freshnefs and a fidelity to nature in his characters, which show him to be as well acquainted with women and men as with books. His lectures upon the authors cotemporaneous with Dr. Johnson are models in point of style, and attracted large audiences in England. While there can be no guarantee that Mr.

Thockery will not, like nearly all the petted English in this country, go bock to lauh at us, his own character should protect him from the distrust which the graceless conduct of Dickens and others has excited. 'Fun Dress." At Madame' Sontae's "full dress" rehearsal, on Monday forenoon, in Boston, a well known clergyman exciied considerable remark by keepinirhishat on during the perlormances. Thoso who were seated behind him were of course annoyed by the obstruction of their view of the performers, and one gentlemrn not having the fear of "the cloth" before his eyes, ventured to suggest to the divine that none of the other gentlemen were covered. The clergyman looked around with an apparent air of abstratioh and the fag end of a smile lurking in the corners of his motuh, and removing his chapeau, remarked that he "really thought this was a 'Ml dress' concert." ology much ado about hot, cold, dry anil pom ology much ado about apples, peaches and some purhkins, and nose ology much ado about elephants', trunks, bo oudenology means much ado about nothing. As a science, it comprehends various branches; among which may be mentioned pomp ology, or the science of funeral processions upon the empty coffins of great men, who die at a distance and are buried at home fussy ology, or the science of political meeiings, at which people fierce iy resoive to qo wnai tney naa made up tlieir minds to long before they got together grtedy ology or the science of meetings to welcome Presidents elect, got up by orBce seekers who wish to proclaim their original loyalty yfooli ology, or the science of literary pnblic lectures, especially upon Shakspeare and pkraisee ology, or the science of ecclesiastical festivals, junketB and jollifications.

The writer then turns to descant upon the last specimen of Oudenology, which was the consecration of Dr. Wainwright, as Episcopal Bishop of New York: They: have 'recently a specimen of oudenology in New York, of the phariseeological branch, in the manufacture, or consecration, as, the jocky lords call it," of a new Bishop of one of their great ecclesiastical corporations. Some of the New York newspapers are filled with reports ot the proceedings including prayers, exhortations, hymns, psalms and spiritual songs, sermons, charges, benedictions, laying on of hands and puttting on of petticoats, and taking off of surplices. We wage no war against any religious denomination for its doctrines or discipline. Whether a Church really has the "Apostolic succession," or had to relinquish it when ktck ed out of doors, or makes no pretension to any such thing, or denies that such a thing ever existed, it is all the same to us, if it really employs its means, intellectual or pecuniary, in striving to make the world wiser and better, in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, ministering to the sick, and visiting them that are in prison.

Therefore we regard the Reverend Mr. Somebody or other, who has opened a conventicle and a school at the Five Points in New York, and labors like a galley slave to save the vilest and most squalid of sinners from the hell which they have made ot earth, and any other for which they may bo striving, as one of the very best "specinins of the. true Church. But we have no great respect for the pomp, and parade, and ostentation, and display of any great ecclesiastical corporation, of what ever name, or in whatever country found, which makes "high pretensions" to superiority, and "terrifying exactions" to support it whose great men are "clothed in purple and fine linen, and fare sumptuously everyday;" whose trappings and ceremonies have emigrated, through thousands and thousands of years, from Brahmanism to Bhudism, and Judaism, and Heathenism, and Romanism, and Mahorn medisrn, and Lulherism, and Mormonism. and eve ry other imaginable ism, from the Ganges to the Danube.

Hence when all this pomp, and parade, and circumstance comes along, we turn away to look at the like of that amiable drudfre nt thn PivP Points, and think of Him who defined a Church as "where two or three are gathered together in my name," and who said, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me." As every body has a panacea for the evils of socie ty.and an antidote for adverse ologies, the writer in the Ledger has his, which is Quaker Ology. The Quakers are the salt of the earth, the oxygen of the religious atmosphere, and can alone disperse and neutralize the carbonic acid gas of the ologies. He says The Quakers have no ordinations, confirmations, consecrations, installttions, or any other ations. Yet they contrive, about as well as most folks, to do as they would be done by. And wherever Quakerism prevails, republicanism must settle beside it.

I3ut how does republicanism get along with any of the isms founded upon and sustained by oudenology Does ancient or modern history throw any light upon the subject in India, Egypt, Palesttine, Italy, Spain, Turkey, England, Mexico? We have ail sorts of isms in the United States, and repeblicanism is safe in the midst of them. Yes Because no isin is strong enough to fetter it. But if one should predominate and become political, and each would if it could, where would be said republicanism? Ask the Inquisition Ask the Jesuits Ask the Establishment of England The Kirk of Scorland The National Church of Sweden! Ask the ghost of cotton mauier; rom pride, vain glory, and hypocrisy good Lord deliver us Whether this new scipnee of oudenology will go ahead like the other ologies and i6ms of the day, we know not: but we believe that many of the pompous parades, and glitering pageants of tinsel exterior and utter hollowness within, both civil, political and religious could be dispensed with without damage to society, republicanism, or Christianity and that they ought to be left to those who yet retain the old mummmeries of sceptres, crowns, and other absurd baubles and gew gaws of bygone ages. Such rubbish ought to be cleared away as fast as possible. The Evening Post in alluding to the action of the New York Aldermen, on the subject of Gen Pierce's visit, says We have no sufficient reason for believing, as yet, that General Pierce will visit the city of New York much before the month of April, and suspect the hospitality of the City Fathers, as well as that of the General Committee, is not destined to be shared by the President elect within the period contemplated by their resolution." The Emperor of Austria has caused it to be noti fied at Milan, that all officers of governments, of whatever grade, must remove their beards that they can henceforth wear no hair upon the chin or under lip.

The petitions for the Maine Law alreadv present ed to the Legislature of Vermont for. the passage of trie. Liquor Law, are.said to be signed by thirty thousand persons, of whom seventeen thousand are legal voters.

Neal Dow has been speaking in Mont pelier, and the Speaker of the House is an earnest and able advocate of the measure. The Legislature, it is thought, will pass it. An interesting and accomplished lady, about 25 years of age, daughter of Mr. Hiram Converse, of Jefferson county, has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and upwards of a thousand persons were engaged in searching the country for her. She disappeared in the night, without bonnet or shawl, and it is supposed was in a state of somnabulism, or became suddenly insane.

Notwithstanding his feebleness, which was clearly visible in the commencement of the discourse, and into which he subsided when his flight of inspiration. was pass ed, that sentence followed sentence, each as it were giving fire to the other, as if an angel'had screwed up the cords of that heart until the pillars of his church seemed infused with enthusiasm. The effect of his unassuming address was like that of Paul before Pestus.

He then alluded to his insanity, which assailed him when his great mind lost its balance, and he labored under tho attack for some years, and the physical infirmities which constantly afflicted him, and concluded with an account of his death, which he described as that of a resigned and pious A Timely Hint. The message of Napoleon to his obsequious Senate leaves them nothing to guess at in relation to his wishes.

Ho tells them that the people have declared for the Empire and that they must carry out the popular will. The lollowing extracts are interesting: "The nation has just openly manifested its will to re establish the empire. If you adopt it you will think, no doubt, with me, that the constitution of 1852 ought to be maintained, and then the modification considered as indispensable will by no means alter the fundamental basis. "In the re establishment of the Empire the people finds a guarantee for its rights and a satisfaction to its just pride. "This re establishment is a aecurity for the future, closing, as it does, the era of revolutions, and consecrating again the conquests of 1780.

"It satisfies its just pride, because, fcising again freely and deliberately what all Europe thirty seven years ago destroyed be force of arms amidst the disasters of the country, the people nobly revenges its reverses, without maltins any victims, without threatening any independence, and without disturbing the peace of the world." The Senate will be obedient to the will of Napoleon and will declare the Imperial Crown hereditary in he person of Louis and his male descendants and in tho event of his not leaving male hiers, then in the person of his adopted son should the latter die childless, afterwards in the person of ex king Jerome and hisfamily. A most singular accident, causing loss of life, is descrived in Galignani's Messenger as having recently occurred on board the Swedish steamer, the Lennart as she was proceeding from Stockholm to Ystad. In the night a violent tempest arose, and a large vessel containing sulphuric acid, placed on the deck, was broken. A portion of the corrosive liquor passed through the crevices of the plankB and fell on a bed in a cabin beneath. In this the Count Eric Chretien de Pontin, Chamberlain to the King of Sweden and Norway, was sleeping.

The acid soon burnt through two blankets and reached the abdomen of the unfortunate gentleman, burning it dreadfully. The gas which escaped made it impossible for him to cry for help, and he became senseless. The next morning his servant, on going into the cabin, found that he had. the lower part ol his bowels entirely eaten away. The unfortunate gentleman was unable to speak a word.

The steamer immediately put back to the port of Colmar, and the Count was conveyed to the hospital. Every possible attention was paid to him, but he expired after some hours or horrible suffering. He was only 26 years of at age. We remember somewhere to have read a story of a youth, who, hesitating in his choice between two young ladies, by both of whom he was beloved, was brought to a decision by means of a roso It happened one day, as all the three were wandering in a garden, that o.ie of the girls, in attempting to pluck a new blown rose, wounded her finger with a thorn. It bled freely and applying the petals of a white rose to the wound, she said smiling, "I am a second Vennus I have died the white rose red." At the moment they heard a scream and fearing the other lady, who had loitered behind, had met with an accident, hastened back to assist her.

The fair one's scream had been called forth by no worse an accident than had befallen her companion. She had angrily thrown away the offending flower, and made so pertinacions and fretful lamentation over her wounded finger, that the youth, after a little reflection, resolved upon a speedy union with the least handsome but more amiable of the two triends. Happy would it be for many a kind hearted woman did she know by what seeming trifles the affection of those whom she loves may be confirmed or alienated iorever. Fatal and Distressing Accident.
