Masnlere, an ex Senator. Obsesteb. THURSDAY EVENING, FEB 15. The Tribune "still hopes" that the President will not veto the bill whioh, under the pretence of enlarging the powers of the Freed, men's Bureau, absolutely quarters the negro raco at the South on the bounty of the gov. eminent.

The expenses to be incurred under the bill are estimated at $75,000,000 per annum. The legion of office seekers necessary to carry the measure into effect will have the best possible motive for keeping up the an tagonism between the two races, for so long as it exists the officials will be able to retain their places, and no longer. Should the bill go into operation, the negro, if he works at all, must work for the love of the thing, for the government undertakes to supply him with all he needs. If the ballot can bo given to the negro, and this bill goes into effect, farewell to popular elections. While there is a race depending on the bounty of the government, and prepared to vote to order, it would be folly to go through the farce of votting for anybody in opposition to the will of those who administer the government.

The bill gives vast powers to the President; that he will have patriotism to refuse to accept them, and to stand by the government in its old simpli BQE8 MAB0NS AND PLA8TERER9 IK SESSION, The Bulldors' Union of Brooklyn, Formed.

JUinm Corps. Notwithstanding the stormy, disafreeible weather last evening, quite a number of tho fileods of the Drum Corps assembled at tbo Atheneum, it being the occasion of their second "Promenade Hop" a name by tbe way, rather new, aud one from which people are not at first likely to gain much information as to what is meant thereby, as proved by the appearand of several foil dressed individuals who formed parts of Beta in the other couples were simply attired for promenading.

For the enlightenment of those who were not present lo judge for themselves, a "promenade hop" may be defined as not quite a ball, nor a promenade concert, but something very like a soiree danzante. At 9 o'clock, the prospect was not particularly encouraging that hour having brought very few arrivals; those few eat patiently looking at the decorations of the ball which consisted ef much "Star Spangled Banner" hanging fes tocnea from proscenium and at the back of the stage with ibe drums ot tbe Corps, rreats, eta, dotting the front cf tbe gallery until nearly 10 o'clock, by which time a numerous altci daoce caused thefaoos.of tbo drummers and the gas to brighten up considerably. Mr. Papst, witb the 23d Begt. Band, after much unnecessary discord in tuning instruments, which should not occur in so efficient an orcbeBtra as they form, led off witb a brilliant march, "Entree du Ball;" but for some minutes so one made a movement in the direction of tho dancing floor, finally the ice was broken by a venturous couple who were soon joined by others, until a respectable Hoe of engaging young people was formed, and danolng com.

Tho Reception Committee exerted themselves to secure the comfort and enjoyment of their guests; the muslo was all that could be desired, and the select party who braved the elements to attend, lost evening, seemed well pleased wiih their entertainment. Last year, Ihe Drum Corps could hardly find room fir the rush of pleasure seekers to their first Hop, and, doubtless, suoh would have been the case with the second, had the woa tber been In tbe least uegree accommodating.

Iutho meantime Mayor Booth, Aid. Bliss, President of tho Common Council, Aid. O'Keeffe, Kalbflalacb, Wilson, Kelly, Uc Laughlln, O'Brien, Steors, ic, Gons. Duryea.

Roberts, Woodfoid, 'and other prominent military men, with a large number of other prominent citizens, had alighted Irom Iheir carriages and taken a position in Portland avenue, oppoBlto the Aisenol, for tbe purpose of reviewing the regiment. In a few moments after taking position THK MABOH COMMENCED, and the military began to file past the city authorities. First camo the 19th Regiment, marching company front, and locking as neat and spruce as possible in their hind, some and noallv fitting uniforms. Thero was but very little comment on their opoarance, but when tho last company bad marched passed and the war worn, ragged veterans, with their riddled flags, came olong, every faco of them bronzed by southern suns, there hub a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and Mayor Dooth set the examplo of doing the veterans honor by remaining uncovered while ttey passed. The Mayor, Aldermen and invited guests were then Invited to go IK THE AESENAL, whero the substantial comforts bad been prepared for the soldiers, the large regimental drill room, four tibles extended the entire length of tho room, oaeh tablo capable of seating 150 persons.

Tbo tables literally greened beneath tbo weight of tho choicest viands of every description witb which tbey were covered. In the centro of the room wis a raised platform, from which too large brass cannon looked frawoinglyat cither end. The disposition of tho tables and tho la which the entire, affair was manigrd, so far as tbis part of the reception was concerned, wero very complete, and reflected great credit on Mr. B. Stiatton, the well kuown caterer ot Atlan'ic street, by whom tbe dinner was got up.

As soon as all had been placed at the tables, who could And zoom, Colonel Woodward announced from the platform that tbo veterans would new be welcomed by James S. Btramban, Chairman of tho War Fund Committee. NO LITTLE SOBPBISE was created by tliia announcement. Mayor Booth waa present, and in accordance with the custom on occasion, it was expected that tho Boldiers would have received tho wolcome from the citizens of Brooklyn from the lips of tho highest executive representaiivo of tho people. This would have been right, and this was what wsb expected, but it appeared that the gentlemen ol tbo War Fund Committee wero determined to appropriate all tho honors ot tbo occasion (0 themselves, even at the expenso of violating tbe common courtesy duo to the highest official representative of the people of Brooklyn, and thereby belittling Miyor Booth, and attempting to belittle the people through him.

llosever Mr. Strana ban aEccnded tbo platform and addressed tho soldiers as follows: Colonel Shaobmah and Soldiebs of ihe Ninetieth Bkgimest It bas been made my duty by the War Fond Committee and by tbo citizens of Brooklyn to wtidome home. It is, indeed, a pleasant task, but still I shall not occupy moro than a moment in its performance, I remember right well that tho organization of your regiment was a matter of marked interest to our citizens, and I know tbat they bavo followed you wherever yen went with tbelr sympathy and regard. Your ranks were decimated by yellow fever iu Florida; you lost some of the best oung men by the ravages ot that terriblo disease, and tboir memories are dear to us by ties ot a tender character. Your long marches, your valiant fighting and sevcro losses In Louisiana were all to us at the time; all tbeso perils were appreciated.

Yeur campaign in the valley of tbe Bhenaudoab, under the dashing Sheridan (great applause) will vrvt bo forgotten. Hor iiu wu (till to remember that you re enlisted at a dark and trying hour of tbo war and became a veteran regiment; hence it is that you are tbo latt of tho Brooklyn boys returning to your homes. Wo bid you a cordial welc me, but the representatives of all our Brooklyn reeimeutB, many of whoa wo are pleased to ecs witb us on tbis oroasion, aud somo of whom may, perhaps, have thought that the rapid breaking up ol tho ormy aud the close of the war, aud tho difficulty in obtaining information as to the return of our rrgiments, did not afford sufficient reason for tho meagreness ot tbeir reception. Be tbey assured, whatever the circumstances may have been in that respect, our hearts were with them. I will only add that those ol us who have passed the rublcon of lifo who ojuld not be useful in the field, all who for any sufficient reason remained at home, Icok upon you to day as the actors in the moat important war event of any ago, aud we will forevor, as in duty bound, remember you as the defenders of the old flag the men who haYo saved tho life of the nation (Cheers.) Lieutenant Colonel Bbaurman, of the Nlnollcth, replied: In behalf of the officers and men of the Ninetieth regiment, allow mo to return their sincere thanks tor tho waim and cordial welcome homo.

I feel myself powered, liy feelings are full, and I am unable glvo uttPrSnce. were it not so, my uiilltory instructor over thcie (indicatini General Duryea) hU'tht me that tbo tnly time a mvViary man should open bis mouth was to give the word of command or bite cartridges. On Ihe conclusion of tho remarks of Lieut. Cilonoi Sbaurman, Mr. Stranalion introduced Simeon B.

Chittenden as the "eoldier's friend," and that pompous little gentlemen jumped on the platform and commenced an address to Iho soldiers, which ho had evidently got carefully by heart, but this time Bhoddy couldn't save Chittenden from the of a bad memory, for when ho got about half way through, there camo A silcnco deep as death, And U10 boldest held his breath Fur a time, say seme two minutes, during which Chittenden was trj log to remember "what camo next," but failed inglo riously. By this time Ihe War Fund Committee from the general conversation in the room began to percolvo that in attemptirg to engross all tbe honors of the occa tion MitmEelvt a "THEY HAD PUT THEIB FOOT IH IT" badly, and Postmaster Lincoln was sent to Mayor Booth to know if be would consent 10 address tho soldiers after Mr. Chittenden got through. Msjor Booth mildly, but firmly, refused to do so. Mr.

Lincoln went back to the committee and again came to Mayor Booth and told him that it was the urgent request of the committee that he should say something to Ihe soldiers. Mayor Booth No, sir; I have put my foot down on that point. The man is not much, but ihe office ia worthy of come conelderatlon, and the Mayor of tho city of Brooklyn cannot play second fiddle to tho gentlemen of the War Fund Committee. This ended all further attcmpa of tho committee to repair Iho gross error they had committed, and after Chit, teoden's ignominious failure, Gcceial Woodford was introduced, who delivered a few feeling remarks to tha soldleis, after which prayer was offered by the Ohaplala of Ibe 18th regiment, and then the men sat down and did ample Justice to the good things set before them; thef lone march having put quite an edge ou their appetites THE FENIAN MOVEMENT. Col.

O'SUhonv at Latimer Hall. Moner the Onlv rhiDK Wanting. Latimer Hall, last evening, was filled fall, aid running over, with enthusiastic Fenians, When we arrived at the scene of operations Col. John O'Mahony was holding forth in the hall below to an audience that completely packed the room, while on the second floor another orator of the fighting fraternity was addressing an equally crowded company. When tbo O'Mahony had finished below, he went to the hall above and made' a short speech.

The meeting was decidedly demoastra tlvB and noisy, greeting with Bhouta of applause every reference to Irish valor and every prophecy ot Fenian success. In the ball below Mr. Thomas McNamara presided and opened the meeting by Introducing Mr. Eiley, who spoke for a few moments, and then yielded the floor to Col, Col. O'Mahony's address was abort, and was Utile but a repetition of what be bas said before.

He wanted money to buy arms aud fit out privateers. Tnere were fighting men enough in Ireland; all they wanted was something to fight witb. tie was doing all he could; but time was precious, lie feared that Stephens might be recaptured; he wished to prevent this; and, if they were not "backward in coming forwatd" with sufficient caab, he would do it. CoL O'Mahony was followed by Mr. A.

Collins, who mailo decidedly the best speech of tbe evening. Be eaid the lenlans had ,300,000 fighting men lhat they could call upon at any line, but tbey did not wish to call npon them to give their lives now. The "men at tome" must rise first; then we could help tbem, and others would help tbem as tbey helped America in tbe revolution, when Prance sent La Fayette, Germany Steuben and DrKalb, Poland fnlaakl, and Ireland Montgomery, Sullivan, and "Saucy Jack Barry." Before the leaves of next autumn airew the ground, the Province of Ireland will be known aa the KepubUc of Ireland. Alter tbe speech making waa flnlated, an Invitation was extended to ail who wished to become Fenians to walk np and be enrolled. The invitation was accepted by quite a number, and the meeting broke up with "Ihiee tlmets three" for Col.

THE VACANT POLICE COMMISSIONERSHIP. Albakv, February 14. It was midnight of Tuesday before the Homo had avoto upon the liealtb Bill, and then, by 69 to 44 it was resolved to make tho Assembly amendment to tho Senate bill. Of the debate between Litticjonn and Tioronino you have already baen informed. It was far from being of tbo most pleasant character, and conclusively proved that thero is a strong feeling of enmity bo.

tween the two elemeets of the dominant party. Thurlow Viced and too Police Commissioners came in for a terriblo raking at tho bandB ot Tremaino, ai they woro boldly ao cusod of bavinfttold out Wodsworth for Seymour. Trc feels especially, tender uron this point, as hs was opon the defeated ticket. Seldom has S3 much polished bitterness been expressed, and it is evident that nothing but tkocobesivo power of publio plunder keeps tho old Whig and Democratic factions tof.elher. SPEECH OF MB, VEEDEE.

Mr. Veeder, in support of a motion to strike Klogs out of tho bill, said that after tho extended discussion that had already token place, he might trespass upon tho patienic of the committee by saying anytuina more. But he nlBbidto urge that Brooklvu Bhould be excluded from the operatiinsof this measure, as its people did tot wish nor had not asked It. Bo represented a cun BiitucncyolCP.tOO, and for tbem bo could speak gly thty were opposed to the bill. Last year Brooklyn was excluded, aud he could Beo no reason nhy it Bbould to included now.

Who were toe men prefSing this soheme? Ho quoted from Mayor Booth's metEate to show that the present police force was inadequate for Ihe peiformance ol the duties already devolving upon them, and that to glvo tbem different labor would take from the protection of the people pclico assistance which they absolutely need. But it was urged lhat the cholera wae comiug. He asked geutlemen if it was not a lact teat whenever the Republican party proposed a great wrong, they always had some pressing nects6ityforit. Mayor Booth furtaer etates that the ordinances of the city are suffli iently strong to protect the health of Brooklyn, aud that the police havo fult power to enforce tlitm. Why then make this new, and as good Republican authority says, useless law? Ho objected to such fnactnients because they intrenched upon the riuhts of the people, because they centralized auiboilty which ought to bo decentralized.

Tho whole diEcusBioTi turned upon the question of who should have tho spoils; which side should havo the privivllogo of cieclioR a political asylum in New Yolk fur partizau A11 considerations of public wcliaro seem to have been forgotten in tho greedy desiro for. cilice. Place and not tbo people, were tbo object sought after by grasping dtmagoeuea. Gentlemen had talked of the ditty condition ot ihe streets of New York and Brooklyn, but forgot to state that the bill proposed no remedy iu tbis rci peer. Street cleaning was lett in the same hands that controlled it now.

Be had as much concern for the public health as any man, but saw no evidence of the concern ot tbo appropriation for anything but ofilio. Gentlemrn on the other side openly said they were influenced by recommendations of Republican Cammit tees and Loyal Leagues the poor man came la for no gocd word, for the benefit of no suggestions. Ho under btood it was admitted that the people did not ask for Dr. ola son, and when he asked wharlid they want, the opposition admitted that there bad been no pirticular eiprcEsicn of bpinion, and upon this statement, tho law Ib still to be lorced npon the people. One faction said, Sooner than amend the Senate bill, let it be killed," while the other side woro equally determined to insist upen their scheme, And this was tho motive of the opposition its unworthy motive when dealing with a question whicb affects the lives aud health of the people Mr.

Veeder denied that the Democrats wanted any of the patronage given to these commissions. Ho tolled tho Be publlcans to take everything, and to be held strietly responsible, lie knew no Democrat who desired to feed at the bcunteous tables prepared by this Legislature tor the entertainment of iheir friends. Tbo peculiar provision relativo to Ihe Board of Estlmjte wis next the subject of sharp criticism, the Speaker declaring it useless, as tt put no bar upon oxptndlhiro. Kelnttvo to tfic loyally New York, he could tell the gentleman thit that city and vicinity luinished not only thousaods to fill their own quotas, but those of the Western pirt of tho State, Tneir loyalty could not be questioned. It bad been tried and not found wanting, lie thought that the time wascomiug when every measure, creator small, concerning too great Democratic communities, would be dictated by caucuses.

Gentlemen might talk of thoin coLtistcury of certain but what was such inconsistency compared to the Inconsistency iu certain ciumtrrs 1601. (A bit at Trcmaln He was astonished that men who in 1S67 denounced these commissions as oulraEeous, weie now tmnd among the most urgent of their advocates, and it came with a bad grace from them lo attach their associates, who happen to do now precisely wbat they did then. Mr. Veeder ooncluded a lorn; end able tpcech by protesting agaiSBt the principles embraced in this bill. Mr.

Creamer, of New York closed the debate In a vety ablo speech, when the voto was taken on the proposition to substitute the Senate for the liouso Bill. Too Brooklyn members voted as follows: For the Senate Bill Veeder, Walsh, Reynolds, Worth. Against the Senuto Bill Goodrich, Onkey, Buckmun. On the motion to except Brooklyn from the operation of the act: In favor Veeder, Walsh. Against Buckman, Goodrich, Oakey, Worth, Key nolds.

On tbo final passage of the bill For the BiU Buckman, Goodrich, Oakey, Reynolds, Worth. AaaiUBtthe Bill Teitfer, Walsh. Democrats in Italics. Ihe bill will be sent to tho Senate immediately, and from all I can learn, its opponents, or rather those who oppose giving the Governor the appointing power, intend (0 hang on to their bantling with all the power they can command. The only thing now probable is the disagreement ot the Senate with tbo House, and committees of conference on both sides.

My opinion is, that eventa ally, tbi re will bo an agreement between the factions, and some sort 01 a bill paBsed, Olio thing has been Demonstrated by this debite, and itouput to bo kept constantly before the people. lbs mujrrity want tho offices and patronage, and intend to have them if there is power enough in the Governor and Legislature to secure them. Considerations of ihs public Health havo been of an entirely secondary character; tbo only call bas been for place. Theoholera may come, but that 1b nothing, so long as a pack of leeches can fatten upon the public misery, The Legislature had better finish the work so well beguu, by taking away what little thero Is left of municipal government Then we shall know precisely tbo ground we occupy, and our chosen rulers not be annually put to tho trouble, and atixiety of defending their title to positions, which tbe people gave them at the ballot bos, SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANY.

I IMPBOVTNQ GRAND SIBBBT. Mr. Buckman bas a bill to Improve Grand street, Wil UamBburgn, which will receive early comldekttlon, BHAS BEPOBTjiD. Ihe bills to alter the Commissioner's Man of the ratr SrooMyn, aad also to exempt the prcpertr of th, TklsFapei has the largest Circnlatio Of 8BT Evening Paper published to the United Statei. It value as an Adyertisi Medium, therefore apparent.

Vthr Wot Deal Fairlr with The People In the present juncture of publio affairs it is incumbent on political parties, whenever the ooportunity presents itself of taking the judgment of the people on the issue upon which parties are divided, to present those issues honestly and squarely before the people. President Johnson has over and over again declared that he is willing to accept the verdict ef the people as decisive on the questions upon which, as is well known, he is not in acoord with the party which controls the 'Legislative department of the government. The annual election in Connecticut on tho first Monday in April, gives us tho opportunity of taking the sense of the people of that State, on the questions upon which the President is desirous to have an expression of the public voice. The Democrats of the State have held their Convention, and have declared themselves unequivocally in favor of the President's policy, and opposed to that which Congress adheres to, The Republicans held their Convention yesterday, but instead of meeting tho issue fairly, they dodge it, and do all in tUoir power to make the result of the election worth less, so far as it can afford any light for the President's guidance. Had ie Eepublican managers simply endorsed tho President's policy, ho could have assumed that, so far aa Connecticut was concerned, there was no division between parties.

Had they, on the other band, given their approval to the course pursued by Congress, the election would have determined to which side tho majority of the people of that Stato inclined. Instead of following either course, the Convention attempts in the same breath to blow hot and cold, and to deceive at once both the people and the President. The fourth resolution adopted by the Convention reads as follows: Resolved, That wo gladly 'express our confldonooin the integrity, ability and patriotism of his successor, Andrew Johnson, who braved secession In the Senate and defied armed rebellion in Tenncsse; who sprang from the people and iB identified with oil their interests; and we do pledge him our hearty support in his labors for a just, complete and permanent restoration of the Onion. Had the Convention stopped here, there would have been no disagreement between parties in Connecticut. The contest would have been narrowed down to a party struggle for place and power, and the President would have been cheered and strengthened by the unanimous approval of tho two great political parties.

Thsre is no man so stolidly ignorant but is well aware that all that the President can do towards restoring tho Union has been accomplished. With one exception, the affairs of tho States lately in rebellion aro entrusted to Governors of their own selection. Congress stands in the way ot the perfection of the President's labors, and now we have the anomaly of States in which the people elect their chief officers, adjudged by Congress to be disqualified to send reperesentativos to the National Legislature in which qustions affecting their interests are every day discussed and decided upon. In the face of this dispute.and immediately in connection with the resolution above quoted, the Connecticut Eepublican Convention adopted the following: Resolved, Thai in the Union majority of thepresent Congress, we recognize a nook army of true and tried defenders of the principles of constitutional iib.rty and order; and that we repose tuith confidence in their wisdom and patriotism for tho settlement of the questions appropriately pertaining to tho legislative department of the Government. This trickery is not only unworthy of a party aspiring to govern the country, but it would disgrace the meanest primary convention ever held by the politicians of the Five Points.

The Tribune, which is daily clamoring for "righteousness" in the management of publio affairs, endorses this proceeding as if it were the consummation of publio virtue and political honesty. lis correspondent, sharing in the editorial exultation in this trick, tells us that the copperheads are covered witb. mortification "at the harmonious Convention." Will tho party of great moral ideas never rise higher than the dead party level The question is between Union and disunion. Not mortification but disgust is the feeling this sort of trickery excites. Can it impose on President Johnton or on tho voters of Connecticut We shall see.

General Terry, with the authority, it is stated, of General Grant, has ordered the suspension of the Richmond Examiner. The offending journal, it seems, in describing a ball given at Eichinond, under the auspices of United States officers, transcended tho limits to which ball notices" must be confined, ior the present, in Virginia. The notice reads as though the wnter had joined at least in the festivities attending the supper, and possibly he pas fully punished for his indiscretion by a bad headache next morning. We caunot but believe that this is a small business. It is neither politic in the government nor worthy of its dignity to interfere with the Press either in the South or anywhere else.

If any latent disaffection against the Government still exists in Virginia, it is well that we should know it, that wo may be the better prepared to deal with questions looking to tho full restoration of that State to its old relations with the government. Discontent is not quietod by suppressinc the evidence of it. It would not be in human nature if hero and there in the South some embers of the flames so recently extinguished did not exist. The editor of the Examiner is an eratic person named Pollard, who has recently exposed himself to the censure of the Legislature of Virginia, for inciting a brawl, almost in its presence. It is bad policy to make a martyr of such a man by identifying him with freedom of discussion.

All through the war, that portion of the press Of the North which could not recognize in support of an administration which it did not favor, an evidence of "loyalty" was exposed to disabili ities of various kinds. If the same test was now applied, how many of the then "loyal" journals would be suffered to exist? If the Be public is not ablo to lace freedom of discussion even when that freedom is carried to its utmoBt limits its days are numbered. President Johnson was reared in a party that never suppressed a newspaper; a party that once held control of every State in the Union, and that laid down its power when the people willed it, as citizens of Kepublics are in duty bound to do. It is useless to shift the responsibility in this case from Gen. Terry to Gen.

Grant and from Gen, Grant to Mr. Stanton, President Johnson has the power, and we sub. mit to him that a monopoly ot this bad business ought to be left to European despots, EEAli Estate. While houses to let are icarce, there is an unusual amount of teil estate offered for sale, the owners evidently forseeing that the high rents and inflated prices will not hold long. There have been two or three publio auction sales of real estate in this city and New York, during the week, and a number of houses and lots disposed of.

The bidders have been shy, and the prices realized quite moderate, considerably below the current valuations of property offered at private sale. The great naval race, as will be seen from our special report, published elsewhere, has resulted in favor of the Government vessel. Anybody who says that "Daddy" Welles is not wide awake after this triumph, does the old gentleman great injustice. We congratulate fWtt Unci? Gideon and "Uncle Sam;" Trials Policemen.

Officer Codner Were tbe truck and engine raolng wtaenlBtruckbim? They were trying which could go fastest, I suppose. Geoige Wilson, of 8 ttuck, testified to the same effect.

John Hollis, of Grand street, who was passing by at tbe time, said that there was a crowd, but not a numerous one. This man, Guischard, was on the foro part or the truck when the officer seemed to lay hold of him by tho collar and then struck him with his club.

Rostra, D. The second lecture of the second series of the Lee Avenue Dutch Boformel Chnroh course, was delivered laat evening. The subject of the Iecturo was a historical one, and cf a highly interesting nature, it being tbo "Tower ofLtradoo." Considering the inclement state of tbo weather, there was quite a numerous audience present. Previous to the discourse some excellent music was furnished by Mr. Colville, tho organist of the church, and Miss Bronson and Mrs.

Rogers, tho two latter rendering two solos in a very fine manner, eliciting considerable applause from the audleuca. Tbe leoturer of tbe evening then arose and commenced his discourse by alluding to the associations of old Biructures, and the idoas With whioh a person Is impressed on beholding them. Then directing the attention ol his audience to the Tower ol London, that grim witness of so many scenes of horror, he proceeded to give a history of it, commencing from the erection of tbe White Tower iu 1010, by William the Cocqueror, who was led to erect a fittlog place of socurlty and an object of awe to the people of London, at that time. The reverend gentleman exhibited a very comprehensive diagram of the Tower, located on the northern bank of the Thames, and pointed cut to bis audience tho dit lerent parts of historical interest. After giviog a description of the surroundings of the Tower, a wall forty feetinhcighthand fliteen feet in breadth, and a wldo moat which was formerly kept filled with water, but at present replete with trees and shrubbery, the leolursr led his hearers through iho "Traitors' Gate," of which it might truly bo said, that "who enters here leaves hope behind." Another point of interest is the "Bloody Tower," whero perished tbo little sons of Edward the Foui tli, and tbe Duko ef Sork, who were murdered iu 1483, fcy order of the Duko ot Gloucester, aftorwards Rlnhirri III.

Dr. tiogera read a description ur that hfiriible deed, written in 1508 by Sir Thomas Moore. Th. While Tower," ever memoiable, among other thiniis, for ihe imprisonment of Sir Walter Balelgh, who died within its walls, is 116 feot long, 90 feet wide, 02 feet blgb, and, I believe, three stories in height. Here also was imprisoned by James I Arabella Stuart and her adherents, tbo former dying within its walls by insanity, and most of Iho latter perishing by the axe.

In this building was also the "Grand Council Chamber," which is so justly celebrated in h'sbry. The lecturer proceed at some length, and it was considerably alter 0 o'clock before ho clos. bis remarks. Almost every peison is acquainted with the Tower ol London," so many writers having ohoson it as the scene of their plots, while it has, and always will occupy a prominent position in the history of the world. The lecturor last evening was enabled to furnish a very comprehensive description of the place, he having thoroughly explored Its interior and vicinities.

The Tiwor is now occupied for armories and other purposes, and is always tho first place to visit on the part of a stranger in that land. At the conclusion of the lecture, the audience were delighted by Miss ltico singing "My AngoL" in exquisite style, after which the entertainment came to a close. "Ihe Gentleman" Ltcmre by Rev, Dr, Vinton." The Bev, Francis Vinton, D. on Tuesday evening delivered tbe sixth lecture of a ourse at tbe North Betormcd Dutch Church, Third avenue and 21st street, before a large audience, who paid Ihe strictest attention as tho reverend gentleman discoursed on I'Ibe Gentleman," Somo cf the points of bis remarks may be thus stated, Mrs. Grundy remarked, "There's a great deal in blood," uud philc sopbcrs have said the samo tbfn; but thero are olten children of tbe same famllv who differ materially end unaccountably.

Somo persons account for it by saying tncy resemble their father or mother, and others goback to some ancestors to flod tbo rcsem. bianco, tbe latter course being tbo safest, because loss liable to contradiction. Nevertheless it is a mystery, andtoenler into the matter involves questions a to God and Ihe soul. But there's a great deal in blood. Some rm are bora gentlemen, but it is not necessary to consult heraldry as to who are gentlsmen, Ft thero have been many bigh bied cowards, and men in the lowly walks of lite olten been gentlemen of the highest stamp.

Somo men are spoiled by associations, and such relics of degraded genthmen aro not uulrequeutly met with. Whilo no clime or condition foibtds any mau from becoming a gentleman, yet education defines the true bearing of that class of man. What distvoulheB blm troni te common roan? It is not necessary to go deeper than mere sentiment. He need not be a Christian, and it does not always follow that tbe Christian is a gentleman, but to be called a Christian gentleman is the highest term of praise. Tbe sentiment of kindness, as au outgrowth of his nature, is one ot hie quultheo, aud it ma; be born In him or acquired.

He reverential to his Bupeitoic, condescending to inferiors, and embodies courtesy with his kindness. Kir.dniss differs from Christian charity, bojauso the man who practices tho litter does it for Christ's sake, while Ihe kind man is so for his own Bike or that of others. Tbe gent'eman feels whit be expresses and its depth is perceptible, yet be does not do anything in a manner that would indloite he his doing favor; us ts at ease with himself, Anotner characteristic 1b bis lovo ot tbe beautliul; that is, all tbat is "in order, harmony and proportion," which la shown in true poetry, gentleness, kindness, love and music, Addison's "Harmony of Creation" was cited. Two persons may look at the Bime pioture and eaoh tee something different, which Is owing to their capacity. The anatomist, chemhit and geologist see thinis that aro beautliul to them, but tar from to others, There lore the beautiful Is seen by any one according to their adaptation of things to knowledge, and by au innate sense.

The gentleman Is a man of taste. Iu sooie'y bo is distinguished by his delicacy, nerer touohlng the tetder feelings of others, always speaking of wbat may bo moBt agreeable to those with whom he converses, and if something painful to others ne brought up he kindly changes ibe subject He puts all persons in good humor, and is no egotist, always selecting themes most grateful toothers. Man has been compared to musical Instruments; the dtum being the boisterous Individual; the flageolet tho person who talks continually but whose voice Is easily drowned by others; the trumpet is he who has only four or five notes, but still is very uselul and a good person to have aB a friend; tbe violin 1b the jooose wit, who becomes a perfeot boro at times; the bass viol reminds cno of an Englishman, aud tbis is said cm English authority; the bag pioes remind one of the mau who oontlnually plays one tune, but tbe gentleman Is neither of the above samel instrument, and may be called the grand piano forte, all iu peifect harmony. The reverend gentleman said he had not spoken of the tbo ladies iu comparison to musical instruments, for they always reminded bun of an entire orchestra when tuning up. A gentleman's taste is shown in literature, and is antagonistic to tbe vi llnw rover class: neithnr la ha content with the month ly magazines, although he reads them and tha daily papers.

His good taste will guide him, and in his library may be fouud a few venerable companions, showing constant use, of the masterly, elementary and original classes. He has one master volume 00 each subject; he studies philosophy to understand the principle by which things are governed; reads somo woris on mechanical scienoe ana some on law. In history be may not do able to tive all the dates on which battles were fought aud great things done, but he knows exactly whit prinejplea governed such what they were for. In true poetry he is versed. Politlo lly the gentleman is not a partisan.

He Is truly brave and honorable, but not of tbe bold stamp. There is magnanimity iu his bravery, and he seeks sot revenge In duelling, but is ready to'ac knowledge bis wrong and forgive that of others. Punctuality also distinguishes tbe gentleman; he poswssoi true honor and politeness. Captain Craven, of the Moni tor Tec um'teb, is said to have lost his life by giving bis bilot the advance in trying to leave the doomed Teasjl. General Strangway, when one of bis legs had been shot away by a shell, coolly remarked, Will any one be kind enough tu help me frdm'my noise?" In ooneluslon George Wathuagton was cited as a true gentlsmau; likewise the lamented Major Andre was spoken of as showing even to tee last momeut.of his life the characteristics of a gentleman.

The office of the Richmond Examiner wai closed last night, by, order ol General' Terry, under di rectiom, It is said, received team General Grant. city, we most sincerely hope. The fate of the Union to all appearances frequently hung on the chances of a single battle. It is now our form of government itself which is in peril.

Of our public bodies the Board of Supervisor has heretofore borne an exceptionally good character. The Aldermen are proverbially fair gome for censure, but the Supervisors were deemed on the whole to be, like Cccsai's wife, above suspicion. It seems as though the Board had fallen from grace, and that some of its members feel no more disin. clination to put up a "little job" than their brethren of the City Hall. In tho debate on the question of repairing the road to Flatbush Cemetery, Sup.

Crouke opposed tho reference ot the subject to the Committee on Grades, ou the ground that if the members of this com mitteo gothold of it "they would make a job 0 it, as they did of the supervision of tho few yards of Belgian pavement in front of tho Court House, for looking after this business the committee charged, each, for sixty throe days' services. The placing of the pavement must have been looked after very sharply, but if this way of piling up charges becomes general, it wiil need a committee of the whole of the tax payers to look after the Supervisors. The Supervisors are paid by the day would it be possible to induce them to transact tho public business at so much per annum, as the Aldermen now do? By tho way, have the claims paid by the Board for the past year been published as piovided by law If not, let us have tho list, so that we may see what we pay for our whistle. Wo have received a communication from Mr. Van Epps, in which he desires us to state that he repudiates in toto the attempt made by a local cotcmporary to mix up sectarian feuds in his investigation.

If Van Epps' case is at all doubtful, his Shoddy friends will insure his discomfiture certain. Tho Williamsburgh Times, commenting on this case, states that the investigation was held with closed doors at the instance of Van Epps. If this is a fact, wo can hardly recognize the justice of his complaint that he was not permitted to hear the evidence against him. If Reporters were admitted, as they ought tdltevo been, Van Epps would have had the evidence in printed form from day to day, as taken. Now, if Van Epps can contrive to keep his foolish friends quiet until Monday'next, we shall be able to get the report of the Committee on that day, and to judge whether Van Epps has been "sinned against or sinning." The Weather.

Atmospheric changes follow each other rapidly this season. After a mild and watery spell, there has been a transition to frost again. A stormy week was wound up last night with a drenching rain, which washed the last vestige of snow oft the streots, and left the cobblestones as bright and clean as the hearthstone of a tidy house wife. The air is nnw what Jo tormoil luuciug ll little lOO active in circulation and apt to take your hat off, unless your head fits it very snugly. The hopes of the skating community have been raised by the decline in the temperature, and they are looking out for another ascension of the red ball.

Winter's engagement is drawing tD a close; in two weeks he will quit us to fulfill an engagement at the Antarctic Circle, and will be succeeded here by that popular young lady, Spring, who according to our almanac, is to arrive on the first of March.
