The principle has recently been established in the English Courts that if a lawyer agrees to compromise a suit, which he ia retained to prosecute, without the onsent ot his client, the settlement bag no binding force. A esse has recently occurred in a different manner, A Mrs. Shaw had sued the Boston and Worcester Ballroad Company for damages occasioned by an accident on tbe road by which her husband was killed. The case had been tried several times, appeals having been taken owing to the large amount of damages rendered by ach jury.

17. A. Our Albany Conespradrace. Albabt, Feb. 18, 1859.

Very little of ipeoisl interest to Brooklyn was transacted in the Senate this morning. Yesterday evening, while the committee on cities and villages of the Assembly, were considering the now water and sewerage bills, it was suggested by; Mr. Spino la that it would be belt to report them to the House in their present form and have them printed, so that their various provisions may be read and understood by all before the committee shall not defin itely. This was acoeeded to, and the delegation of "solid men" from Brooklyn, who were up here to explain, have returned homo. The bill prohibiting the State from locating any Quarantine buildings in King's county, was reported favorably this morning, and has been adjourned to the Committee of the Whole.

The committee appointed to examine the Lobby Committee, or rather its ohairman, with regard to certain allegations tnat he made in the Senate, held their first session to day. Senator O. B. Wheeler was called to the stand, and testified that tbe "highly esteemed friends, the noblest work of God an honest man," who was offered "large sums of money" to use his influence to lnduoe him (Mr. Wheeler) to abstain from the committee, was one William D.

Murphy, who it will be remembered was oharged by the Journal, some weeks ago, with attempting to black mail members of the Assembly. Ho speculates in biographical Bketohes of members; and it seems he wrote letters to oertain Assemblymen, inviting them to call at his office at an early day, and expressing the apprehension that if they did not comply, their biographies might not be drawn in a manner to please. The large sums ot money alluded to, Mr. Wheeler thinks was inside of 81,000. Mr.

Murphy was invited to take the stand, but tie "would rather wait a few days in order to collect his scattered ideas about the matter," and so the committee sojourned until next week. Mr. Godard reported from the Committee this morning against Mr. Bowen's bill to make railroads responsible for losses by fire from locomotives on the line of railroads, and giving them an insurable interest in the Bame. The report was agreed to.

Mr. Morris reported favorably the bill authorizing the delivery of the properties of the late, town, village and city of Williamsburgb, and the payment of monies due the sime to the Treasurer of Brooklyn. Petitions were presented ajrainst the removal of the terminus of the L. I. K.

from Atlantic street, by MeeBis. Andrus, Wilson, Tathill and Wiggins. Mr. Fuller reported a bill for the preservation of fisheries in Jamaica Bay. Mr.

Wilson introduced a bill to alter and amend the Commissioners map of the City of Brooklyn. It provides for tbe openine of two new streets, 68 feet wide, between 5th and 3d avenues, from Saokett to 6.h street 036 to be called Fillmore Piece and the Sterling Plaoe. Provides for laying out two Parks, one, Stirling, to include all the lands lying between Sackett and 6th Btreets, and between JFilJ raore Place, except what is within the bounds of Carroll and 3d streets the other, to be oalled Donglaa Park, to include all the lands between Wyckofi and Warner, Bonds and Nevins streets. It widens 9 av enue 10 feet, 10 as to make it of a uniform width of SO feet, and permits the change of the name of lb a', portion near Greenwood Cemetery. It also extends Clinton avenue 80 feet wide from its terminus at Atlantic street to Fiatbush avenue, parallel with Vanderbilt avenue.

Mr. Tuthill introduced the following bills To incorporate a Savings' Institute in East Brooklyn. 2. To lay out Marion Park in the 15ih ward of Wi! liamsburgh. the Supreme Court to appoint three Commissioners for the purpose, and to assess the oost, which is estimated at under $50,000, upon the ward benefitted.

3. To secure a better canvas of votes. Gives the city oanvass9rs the ssme I.eetnre on the Mmnmr Pit ef Egypt." The fifth lecture of the course being delivered at tho Paoiflc Street M. K. Church, (Rev.

Mr. Mill burn's) in aid of the Sunday Sohool Library, was given last night, before a large audience, by W. C. Prime, Esq. The subject of the lecture was the burial places of theanoient Egyptians, The Mummy pits of Egypt." It was a common newspaper item, he said, that the ground wo tread on is covor ed threo times over with the duBt of those who have preceded us.

Arithmetic is a sad foe to poetry, and even a few oounties of New York Stats would give ua all a good aiz feet by two. Still more or less of the earth we Btaud on has lived, and the flowers wo Bee bloom above the grave. The fertile part of EifyP1 that overflown by the. Nile annually is a narow atrip of land extending from the Meditter anean to the first Cataract of the Nile, and is about 1000 miles long and but from 7 to 12 wide. The dead were not burriod in this soft fertile soil, whioh every year displaoes, but in the barren hills whioh overlook this plain.

The popular ide of a do3ert was that of an unbroken plain, covered with shifting Bauds this was not correct, tne Lybian desert was a rocky country, and the valleys between the only plains. At the base of those mountains, in the shifting sands, ate the graves of the modern Egyptians no flowers bloom in these sterilo and most desolate of burial places. The Arab3 now bury their dead ooffinless, and if boards are used they are placed about the grave soias to form a kind of room in whioh the dead might stand erect. The sands irequently displaced the corpse and those teu antless sepulchurea looked indescrible desolate The Egyptians of antiquity were no suli savages as these. With none were Uie dead held more saored.

Alluding to the architecture of the Egyptitans ho said their buildings eeemed not built lor time but for eternity. They are not limply grand, they are sublime, as the sublime always does, approaches tbo infinite. When looking upon them, the idea forced itself upon him, that tho men who erected them believed they would one day coma back to revisit them, if not to dwell there forever. Ho described the magnificent temple at Carnae, with its mighty oolumns, and its gates in which the ohurch they Btood in might come under oaaily. As with their temples, so with their tomb3.

They were hewn in the eternal rocks, and never entered them but he thought that they who erected them believed the dead would one day wake in their resting places. Ha spoke of tho great buriul places at Thebee, Mam phis, Gaza, and said in talking of them he would Mb own experience rather than tho knowledge which might be gathered from books. He described his visits and adventures in exploring some of the tombs, and exhibited a piece of plaster broken from one of thom, on which was a painting of a woman still aB fresh as if exocuted a year ago. In the dry air of Eaypr, what was buried remained unchanged; and as many of the household goods were buried with tho dead, they exist to this day. In describing his visit to the tcmb of a king; ho said on enteiing a door in tbe hil! 3ido tbey found the walls covered with paintings minutely representing every phase of Egyptian lifo.

Toe different members of the regal household were buried apart, and in the room allotted to each the walie were painted with objects concealed with the life cf the occupant. Here was the cook's room, and here waa painted every objeot connected with his occupation, the gridiron and rolling pin every varity of food oxen being killed fowl prepared and dressed tor the oven, fee. So with the other apartments tho warrior, the boatman, the chaplain, tho gardener all covere i with pa'ntings represent.ng their various modes of life. Far down in the tomb tne monarch lay and nearest him his guards as if watching the slumbers of the king. All arranged fo that if the monarch woke up, his BOrvanta would hear his ft miliar voice of command, and he would be again surrounded by those who in lifo obeyed him.

The Egyptians, after doing all they to guard their dead against decay, were still afraid that tne deBpoi! or might enter there and rob their remains. Various devices were resorted to in order to prevent this. In some when the apparent end of the tomb was reiched it waa found when the wad was removed that beyond it was tho true resting place; in others a pit was dug at the end, and those searching farther would naturally descend to the bottom; but half way down a hollow sound was heard and thia wob thn The JLrgisiatnre and the Ha ins i Banka. The connection bstween the nose of a setter and the footsteps of a grouse is not more intimate than the affinity between the scent of a polltiolan and the whereabouts of unpro ccted oash. Somebody said that millions of dollars remained in the vaults of the Savings Bniks of the Etate, whose depos.

itors with a remarkable loss of memory on a point on which recollection rarely fails, had forgotten itu existence or had died and forgot to mention it in their wills. The announcement was sufficient to arouse the olfactories of the pol. Itlolans, who instantly gave chase. ForgettiDg the sagacious precepts of the female authOj on the art of cooking, regarging the necessity of catching nimble and swift footed game before ooking it, they at onoe set about disposing of the anticipated spoils. An act, 01 for ought we know to the contrary, several acts, appeared in the State Legislature to grab the unclaimed deposits.

It appeals, however, that the amount stated as remaining unclaimed was crossly exaggerated. From a letter addtee fed by the Seamen's Savings Bick of New York, to the Committee of Assembly having the matter In charge, it appears that tb6 amount of unclaimed dividends in said Bank which have been there more than ten ye3is, is $11,190 48 while the amount of deposits, with their accumulations, unclaimed fur twenty yours, is only $2,670 89 We doubt cot the records of the other Savings Banks would present a similar state of facte. It is not likely therefore that the amount of plunder to be obtained from this source would reward the spoliators in seizing it but, if it were as gieat as first intimated, the attempt of the State to lay hold of it and withdraw it from the Banks, would hi a gross outrage. These Banks are the only safe refuge for the industrious poor, the only place where their surplus earnings can be safely deposited in times of prosperity, and where they will be sure to be available in the hour of adversity, or when they can be more advantageously invested. The State legislature indeed legalizes many schemes whose object is to relievo this claes of citizens from the tronble of taking care of their earnings.

We need only refer to that infamons swindle, the Building As sociation scheme, and which was sufficiently attractive when fiie; started extensively some half dozac years ago, to induce hundreds of the industrious class of citizens of this city to withdraw their earnings from the Savings Banks and invest them in a speculation as fraudulent as any Peter Funk shop in Broadway. If the State is to interfere with the Savings Banks at all, it ought to be to encourage and protect them. If tbey contain deposits that will never be called upon by those who placed them there, or their legal representatives, let them be divided among the other depositors as a dividend, and so encourage tbo3e who place their money in them and otheis of same class to iiivss.t their surplus cash in a sure and profitable institution ar.d so Cjunttract th1; induc3m. ns held out by knaves and sharpers ever to offer seme new bait to deo.dve the credulous arid icspire illusory hopes in thy mind of the saiieuit.e The President ind the South American Bepublics. A message from the President was transmitted to the Senate yesterday, representing the chronic state of revolution and anarchy which exists amoDg the mock Republics of South America, and calling upon Congress to confer upon him, power to use the army and navy to protect our citizecs and their property on the Isthmus transit routes.

The message was debated, but no action taken in reference to it. The impossibility of dealing with political communities that change their rulers with more fre quency, and less regularity, than the changes of the moon, as we would with regular and perma nent governments, is self evident. While seek ing redress for any wrong inflicted by one of these phemeral dynasties, which may "hav Beized American vessels, and extorted money from Americin citizens," the whole "oovert ment" disappears, and another takes i place which refuses to be bound by the acts of ids predecessor. The only way to deal wiih these rickety concerns, is to act as occasion may demand The request of the President is reasonable, and ought to be complied with. New York Demonstrations.

New York can no more get along without its periodical public excitement, than Mexico can without its semiannual revolution. The 42d Highlanders having concluded to siay in India, and theie being no prospect that the late Emperor fc'olouque, wilj come this way, the demonstrative public are looking round for some other unfortunate vie. tiros to lionize. 1 hey have discovered that some of King Botoba's subjects, afflicted with too much liberality of sentiment, have left their land of Bong and sunshine, by particular request, and are on their way hither, to seek a refuge and a safe vent for their exnberant patriotism. It is therefore proposed to give these exiles a public reception ala Kossuth.

In case this affair should turn out like Mary Ann's' Highlanders, other projects are on the tapis, to afford the New Yorkers an opportunity to display their pecullar taste for public demonstrations. Another Inthstioating Committee, A state ment has been made by a Washington corres pondent that a member of Congress from this estate, who is a member of the Committee on Accounts, had agreed to report a bill of $8,000 lor $400 cash paid to himself. A committee was yes erday appointed to investigate the charge. It is remarked that none of the diplomatic circie ai asninglon attended the Napier bali given by the flunkeys of that citv, and the rea Bon is alleged that his Lordship has been so no orlonsly mixed up in scene, where his own gal. lantry and female frailty were the chief elements, hat be hag been socially tabooed.

last trial resulted in the heaviest verdict of all being $26,000. It now turns out that offers had been made to the plaintiffs counsel for a compromise, anil as much aB $10,000 had been offered by the company, but the lawyers Messrs. Choate and Durant rejected the proposition without bringing the matter to the notice of the claimant, who would have bsen disposed to accept it. The question now arises are these gentlemen entitled to any compensation for the services they have rendered sinos the lime they rejected the off jr of a settlement on their own responsibility And if a new trial should be had and the fact that the prosecution seems to have been conduct ed solely with a view to fleece the company for benefit of the lawyers, ohould induce tba jury to returu light damages probably less than tbe lawyer's fees would the latter not compelled to make good to their client the 810,000 they had prevented her from receiving 1 Both points ought to be decided against the lawyers. The practice of Police Court Bhysters consists in fleec ir.g those who fall into their hands, and we would like to know wherein consists the moral differ, enca between their operations and that of lawyers who have acquired a better reputation, who in order to roll up enormous fees conduct a case not only without regard to the interest of their clients, but without condescending to notify them cf a proposition upon whose acceptance or rejec.

tion they should exclusively decide. It is a question of great interest to suitors to know whether access to the halls of justice is to be ef dually cut off by rapacious pettifoggery which stands at the entrance ready to swallow up tie compensation awarded to the victims or injury or wrong. The semi annual exercises in declamation of the students of Columbia College, were held yesterday morning at NIblo's Saloon, New York. The audience, in spite of the unpropi ous weather, filled the large hall a'most to its eatest capacity. The speeches, ten in number, alternated with fine selections of music, were vciy well and gracefully delivered.

Two students ari appointed by the Presideut. of the College from each class. The eight thus se Jeoti i compt ts for a priz of hooka to the value ot' twenty dollars. The students of the two higher clafsts are obliged to apeak original com peiiions with the other classes it is optional to select pieces. The two speakers beside tbe eight do not represent any of the classes, but are elect ed to their office by their respective societies1.

This courtesy of the College towards her literary societies has been oxtended, we believe, for only a few years past, but is always gladly accepted, appreciated by thom. The Peithologian on occasion was ably represented by Mr. J. E. McClinfock of New Yoik the Philolexian by Mr.

Edward L. Greenwood of this city. Ttiese gentlemen not being appointed from their classes, but only representing the societies, did not on tend for the prizes. The E'isappearance or Mrs BrissaK. The report that Mrs.

Brancan, or sonu one resem 'iing her, who disappiaicd so mysteriously from tttt rn Island last summer, hid been seen at the lip Toy House on Mount Washington, appears be bdievol by ot'ier parties who saw a wom uU answering her description, at that place. The men in her company were described as attired in the undress uniform of the British army, aid as, physically, fine lcoiing. As it does not appear that ary person who saw the lady was acquainted with Mrs. Brannan, the probability is that they were either mistaken, or oerhaps, for the purpose of appearing smart, per i) a hoax, whose only can be to lacerate still more the feelings of these most de ply interested. What makes the affair look taoro ridiculous is that it is not usual for British offiix rn to paraio themselves, when not on duty ov attached to a regiment, in uniform, even ii their owa country.

The wretched imposture called Spiritualist is oaly another name for the most disgusting exhibition of Five Points debauchery. The N. Y. capers, S3 recently rnriched with the filthy details of the mutual exposure of the Hatches, have teenud for some days past with an alleged rape case in which a Mrs. Hume charges the pa.

riutsg; of a child to a fellow boarder who "ruined" her in the absence of her husband, by having her put into a trance etate. She kept the matter quiet for neaily a year after the cc. currrcce. The medium story is evidently man. uracured to give a color to a of her auilt which remoiBe icducedher to make.

But affair is only another illustration of tbe fact that. Spiritualism is but a cloak for lascivious and that its nrofeesors are invariably cranupt knaves or weak minded dupes The general term of the SuDremo Court of this District adjourned over to Monday next. AmoDg iae decisions made by the Court nrevions to the adjournment was the case of the certiorari of the Fiatbnsh avenue proceedings. The appeal oi tne gentlemen opposed to this public improvement was promptly decided by the court at the end of the argument, without the slightest hesitation, and the appeal was dismissed, with costs. We hope this decision will put an end to this vexatious controversy, and that the suffering contractors will now receive their long deferred payment.

The Young Men's Democratic Union Club held a special meeting at the Mercer House last evening, and appointed a committee of three, com posed of Messrs, White, Lsbineau and Ht'rrick, to wait upon Lord Napier and Smith O'Brien the latter is expected to arrive in the steamer on Monday to tender to them an invitation to the Grand Democratic UDion Ball on the 22d inat.

Now should the Board adopt this report and purchaBO Crook Farm, it is my opinion as an inhabitant of the village that wo woald be in greater danger than at present, as aocoiding to Mr. Crook's statement, the route to his farm would be through the village, and wo would havo the poor and sick of every diseaBe carried past our dwellinga daily for years to oome. Have not some of the Board heard with what joy the inhabitants of Flatbush read the resolution passed by the Board of Superin denla that all tho county vobioles should travel the back rosd Now if the Board wish to rid tho inhabitants from both disease and extra taxation, they will purchase the adjoining strip of land.

The colored citizens of Springfield, have sent In a complaint to the City Council, that their names are not feund in the ury list, and expressing a desire to Berve their country by deing jury daty. Since there is a great aversion to serving on juries by most white people, why would it not bo a good plan for tho Masachuselts people, a majority of whom are so friendly to the colored brethren to substitute that class of citfaeDS or thai 1m portant duty eatranoe to the tomb beyond it. All has not availed. The Arabs aie the modern resurrectionists of Egppt; and the Baled relics is too urofitabln to hn given up, and every day the tjmb of a clown or a king is ransacked. Every tomb, as he said before, was painted in the minutest manner.

Hence they throw so muca light upon the hiBtory of the oountry. As illustrating the valne of theBe paintings in this respect, he said ihe first sale recorded in history was that of ADranam 8 puicnase ot a Dunal place for 400 shekels of silver. The words "shekel" and "lamb" were represented by the same word, and it was contested whether did Abraham pay too shekels of silver or gave 400 lambs. A painting was fjund in one of the tombs representing scribes counting the wealth of their master. One waB counting cattle, others measuring gram, and another waa weighing his monoy, using for that purpose a woight in the Bhape of a lamb thus settling the matter.

The lecturer described in a graphic manner hiB explorations in the crocodile pits of Mehabdah, and oxhibitod small crocodile taken from there its teeth still eharp and every Boale perfect, though buried there 3,000 years ago, probably when Solomon was reigning in Jerusalem. He though he entered there further than had been yet explored; and when he passed the spot where the French expedition party appointed by Napoleon I. gave up tbe project and wrote their namea there, he wrote his oiviifor tho first time in such a pltoe, and a hand painting onward, signifying that he had gone fui tlier. On entering the crocodile pits, after incredible labor, he found a room filled with these animals bound in cloth. In laying them down the larger ones woro placed first, and tho Bmallor onoa nsed to fill up the intervening Bpace they were then pecked tight, and over each layer was spread palm leaves.

The same order was followed to the lop. It was questioned whether tho Eyptiaus did not Bomc times bury their dead wjth these sacred animals. Ia his examinations here ho found the mummies of five or six men, and ho concluded the keepers of the aulmals wore buried with them. He thounht that the passage by which ho entered was not that originally used, for an attempting to carry off one of the larger crocodiles he found the aperture too nar row he carried away aeveral of the smaller onts. eight or ten of whioh reaohed this oountry.

As to tho question whether or not the crccadile was wo? shipped by the Egyptians, he thought not, but held sacred it undoubtedly was, and for this ho gave the following explanation In order to carry tho overflow of tho Nile farther back in the oountry than its natural nU cauais were aug, ana as the fertility of tho oountry depended upon their extent and tho efficienoy in whioa they were kept, toikeep thom so wae of the fiist importance. Accordingly the priesis built lakes for tho reception oi the crooadilea at the extrema edge of the fertile plain, and induced the people to believe that on the caro with which these orocodilo ponds were kept everything depended. As the result showed naturally enough that whan irrigation was taken care of so were the erockodileo, and fertility followed, for whioh the crockodiles got the predit, He then Bpoke of tho other saored animals and birds tho apis, ibia, cat, and exhibited specimens of the two latter borrowed from Mr. Abbott's collection in New York. In roferring to thia collection he Baid it waa the most complete of its kind in the world, and that it wonld be a disgrso to our national character if it was suffered to loave our country for want of mojna to purchase it.

Living in a new oountry it was difficult to realise tho antiquity of Egypt. With ub house that stood at the time of the Revolution was ancient, and a toasting fork of MiloB Standish'a wao a Baorod relic. There a thousand years were but as day. Looking at tho yellow sun sinking down beyond tfje fjybian desert, a lady plied hor needle and as bus voyo tho meehes ol her work, she drew in her memory the bright dream, such as we all do and have done; she died ore hor ork was finished, more than 200 yoara ago and here ia the ul flnishod work, the needle and the work basket ua she left them The lecturer hold them in his hand.) Such an antiquity as this almost was a worship. Here fn another vault was the temaina ot the light that went out 1800 years: ago.

and the lamp still black with its rliokorings.
