Annuel Smith nut At borne on Now Year's dny in dishabille. His hoard was unslmved; his hair nn com lied; liti long boots unblackod ; ha wan Icnning hack in n picturesque attitude, wiili hU heels ngninst the mantle-piece smoking a cigar. Samuel thought to himself lhat, as it whs leap year, it would ho glorious if the I fiilios would pop the quesuon in accordance with their ancient privileges. As he sat wnicliiug the smoke which curled so graco. fully, hi fancy glowed with the idea, how delightful it would ho to have the dear creatures fondling him, and with their lender glances endeavoring to do ihe agreeiilile. As ho meditated, hit henrt softened, anil he began to fool a squeamish, womanish sensibly diffused uver i i m feelings, Bud he thought ho would faint with propriety tin tint lime a lady squeezed his hand. Hup, nip, ftp. sounded the door. Sirauel peeped through tho Vetiitiati blinds. " Mercy ! " exrUimed he, if there isn't Miss Jones and 1 in dishabille, und looking like a fright good gracious! I must go nnd fix myself." He left the room Miss Jones entered, and with a composed air intimated that she could wait. She was a linn believer in woman's right, and no that the season was propitious, the determined to lake the advantage thereof, nnd do a little courting on her own honk. It wm ono of woman's privileges, which had been Usurped by the tyrant man. and she determined to assert hcrriJitft in spite of tho hollow lurmalities of the (also system nt society. On Sim's return to the room, she exclaimed : "Dearest, how bonutiful vou look." nc romnnnvimr her words with a glance of undisguised admiration. "Spare the blushes of a modem young mun," snid Hum, applying tiio cambric to his fucn to liidu his con fiition. "Nay, my live, why no coy T" snid Susan, "turn n. t away 'h"flo bninlirul eye, tlnrlc as jet, hut sparkling as tho di iinond, i.Utoit to iho vows of ail'ectjoi,. Mere lot us r-st," said she, drawing liim to a 'fit ; " here, with my nnn nrouud thee, wilt I profess my trim eir.-ciion," "Leave mn, oh. leave mo!" murmured BumuM; "think of my youth and inexperience spiire my palpi-fating heart.' " L'favu theeT" said Stiian, pressing him closer to her: j" never! until the story of reatless nights of unquiet aspiration, fond emotions and undjiag love in laid before thee. Know tfmt for yean I have suilered for thee n secret pa-ion. Need I tell thee how such manly beauty moved mo T how worshiped like a sun-tlower in the lurird light of these ravon tressenT how my fond hoart was entrapped in tho iihMis of those magnificent whitkers? how I would yield to the government of ilnit imperiHl ! thy manners so modest, so delicate, enchanted me joy tome for ihy j'y wns my joy. My henrt is ever thine tnk it but' lirat let me snatch one kiss from those ruby lips!" The overwhelming feelings of the delicate youth were too strong, nnd he tainted from excess of joy. Meanwhile, I h j enamored maiden hung loudly over him, and Hlowly the eyes of 8 imuel Smith opened ho gazed wildly ah itit him then meeting the ardent gaze of his lover, ho blushed deeply, nnd from behind his handkerchief faintly falter it out "Ask my ma." DEATH OF ARAQO, The serious illness of Francois Dominique Am go, the celebrated Kronen savant, of which we have been informed by nur previous European advices, prepares us f r the tidings of his deith, which is announced nmong the news of the morning by tho arrival of the Atlantic. His loss will crentea chuum in the scientific world Unit will bodeeply and widely felt in both hemispheresM. Aratro was horn nt Eitngel, in the smith of France, February Sii, l"fiii,and wm consequently in his sixty-eighth year at the time of his death. At the age of eighteen, he entered (ho i'olyteidinic School at Paris, and after remaining two years in thnt i (munition, he received the appointment of Secretary in tin llureau nf Lnti!itudes. In this capacity, in conjunction with M. tti'tt, and the Spanish Commission, he continued the measurement o an arc of the nieridinn in Spain, which had been commenced by Delnmbre and Michain. While nt Minorca, the Spattiartls rose against Nipo-Icon, nnd being suspected of niding die French troops, M. Arago whs arrested and ihrown into prison, Alter remaining several mouths in the citadel nf Uelver, he made his escape to Algiers, from which port h took passage in an Algerine vessid to Murseilles. On the vojHgo, however, he wns agiin taken by a Spani-h cniizer, and carried prisoner lo Fort of Uosas. Ite leaed, nt length, by the intervention nf the D.-y of Algiers with the Spanish Government, ho om:e nmre attempted to return to Algiers, lint when almost in port, the vesel in which ho had embarked sull'ered shipwrck. Mo was thrown on the Sardinian Const, whence be nmde his wny for tho second time to Algiers. More ho found the old Dey hnd junt been asasitinated. He w is placed by III" new )ey on ihu litt of slaves, and sent on board n piru'ieal vessel to net as interpreter. It Mas ll'it iir.nl IHlCt. that the deunnds of the French Consul f t his freedom were complied with, and he wns pei mined to set sail for Ins native country. Alter mtking a narrow escape from nn Knglish Irigatc, he landed snfely in France, and at once repaired for Paris. As a reward for tho stifTeringshe had experienced in the discharL'1) of htsscieutilic itulie, he was elected at J he nge of 23, a member ot the Academy of Sciences, in place of Lilande, and received I rum tho Emperor, who held hitu in high esteem, iho nppoiutmunt of Pro-feasor nt the Polytechnic School. For several years, he devoted himsr'lf to iimtnicij.m at this institution in various branches of mathematics. Subsequently, hit nttentton waschitfly Riven to otivsii's and anironnmv. in each of which depanuients he diatingimhd hiniseif uy important iiiNCiiveries.

He was chosen a mem Herofii,, Nrtijonal Assembly from this Dopartmunt. After the Provisional Government wasdiscontiuiied, he was appomteii by tho Asemhly a member of the Exec utive Committee. In thisollico, he showed p'eut courage and saitacity in the June outbreak. After this event, he wns made a member of the War Committee.

Wo extract from Judge Uarrington's " Personal 1 Sketches of Ireland Fifty Venrs Ago" the following interesting account ofnn interview between Uandolpu ami Burr and ihn Irish orator, Grattaul Col. Burr, who had been vice-president of America, and probably would have been the nest president, but for his unfortunate duel with Gen. Hamilton, came over to England, nnd was made known to me by Mr Handolph, nf South Carolina, with whom I was very intitnaie. Mo reipieiied that I would introduce him to Mr. Grattan, whom he was excessively anxious to see. Uid. Burr was not a man of very preM managing appesr-ance rough Icatured, and neither dressy nor polished, hut n well informed, sensible man; and though not particularly agreeable, yot an instructive compani m. People n general lorm extravagant anticipations regarding eminent persons. The idea of a ifrentornior and an lrih chief carried with it, naturally enough. corresponding notions ol puysicu elenuce, vigor and dicnitv. Such wns Col. B.trr's inint-ike, I believe, about Mr. (irattan, and I took care not to tindeceivo him. We went lo my friend's house, who was to lenvo London the next day. 1 announced that Col. Burr, from America, Mr. Itnndolph and myself wished lo pay our respects, ami the servant informed ns that his master would re-'eivo us in a short lime, but was at lhat moment much occupied on btminesa of consequence. Burr's expectations were all on the alert. Kandolph alo wns very anxious lo be presented to the great (irattan, and both wero impatient for the entrance of tliis Demosihenes. At length Iho door opened, and ill honiied a small, bent figure, meagre, yellow, and ordinary ; one slipper and one shoe ; bis breeches knees loose) bis cravat hanging downt bis shirt nnd coat sleeves tucked up high, and nn old hat upon his Dead. This apparition saluted the stranger very eonrto- ouslv. asKcd, without an introduction, how lotia Ihev had been in England, and immediately proceeded to make itiiinries about the la'e General whinnton ami the Revolutionary war. My couiMnnions looked at each other t their replies were cotiivo, and they senmed quite Impatient to see Mr. Grattan. I could scarcely contain myself, but determined to lot my eccentric cnnnirymiiu lake hi own course, who Appeared quite delighted to see his visitors, and was the most inquisi tive person In the world. Kandolph was far the tallest and most aigninea looking man 01 'jio two. gray haired and welt dressed. Griitlail, therefore, ot course, took him for the Vice President and addressed) him accordingly. Uandolph nt lengtti neggeti 10 amw if they could shortly have the honor of seeing Mr. Grattan. Upon which our host, not doubting but thai they knew him. conceived lhat il must be his son James for whom they inquired, nnd said he believed be hint that moment wandered out somowuero uibiuuku himself, 1 This completely disconcerted tho Americans, and they wore about to make their bow and their exii. when 1 thought it htxh time to explain; and, taking Col. Burr and Mr. Randolph respectively by Ihe baud, introduced them to the Hight lion. Henry unman. I never saw people stare so, or so much embarrassed. Grattan himself, now perceiving tho cause, Imnrtilv honed In mv merriment. Mo nulled down hi shirt 'sleeves, pulled up his stockings, and in his own Irresntiblo way, apologized for the omct-figure he cut, assuring them lhat he bad totally overlooked it to bis anxiety not to keep them waning; that he was returning to Ireland next morning and hail boon busily enoagod packing up hi book and paper, in a closet full of dust and onbwehal This incident ren dered the interview more interesting. The Americans were charmed with their reception, and nfter a protracted visit, retired highly gratified, while Grattan relumed again to his imuks and conweos. Pansua Thirvbs.

A Report by the Director! of the Five Points House or industry, under tue charge oi Kev. l. m. rease, Tho New York papers contain un elaborate and ex ceedingly interesting report ol a committee, appointed for the purpose, on the plan of operations, pursued by Rev. Mr. Peasr, at the famous place called "Five Points, in New York, As the clloris of ihu peM-cuc rilicing clergyman und bis wife, aro of vital importance, and as tho detail of his system may not be generally understood, we propose to copy a fo parn graphs from the report. We know of nothing of more importance to our grent cities I htm tho discovery of some efficient plan to romovo Ihe haunts of crime, want, profligacy and drunkenness trom their midst, The vurious steps by which this has been dune in the very worst locality, in Now York, aro thus let forth by the committee : in the Spring ot 1850, llrv. L. M. Pease, a minister of some nine years' standing in the Methodist Episcopal Church, wns appointed by the Now York Annual Conference to commence a mission in Centre street, or us vicinity, umnn.' the poor and neglected inhabitants of that part of the city. This mission was established under the patronage, and directiotiof the Ladies' Home Missionary Society, ot iioMthodist Episcopal Church. After a diligent search, a mom, lately used as agin shop, on the corner ot Cross mid Little Water streets. fa portion of the present House of Industry) was rented and cleansed, to servo as n chapel. Mr. Pease itn mediately exerted himself wiih self denying ansiduity to conciliate tho abandoned inn ibitants and their friendless children, an ns to form a congregation nnd Sunday school. A con mi I emu la attendance wns at om-o obtained, both of children nnd aduits, in all tho filthiuss and raggednuss of their every -day condition, mid what was worse, in the disorderly, drunken, profane, and savngo habits which none lud ever trt right them to lay niide, even for an hour. It wm nearly impnihle, with the utmost energy and pTiiveratico, to obtain u hear.ni.' before such an audionce, or to win. by all the urts ol Christian kindness, a moment's serious and respectful attention from one of the degraded unfortunate who composed it. When sure sslul in this, the Missionary seemed scarcely to have made any progress, for the utter impos ibdity uf escape from iheir ino'lo of life, except through tho gates of death, was forced upon him in the tirnt attempt ot practical exhortation, and sometimes with piteous eloquence by tho despairing victims themselves. None, of course, would entrust them with work, far less admit them into houses or work shops, und the result was that their first steps from iho ileptlis of debising vice towards a Christian lite, must be a voluntary act of self martyrdom. The case of the children wus hardly better, for the begin mngoi vinuo lor ttiem must tie lis forsaking such mis ernhle subsistence and shelter ns the parental den af forded, lor hopeless vaiirauey, bogjary, mid tho house oi correction. Mr. Pease met tho dilli uliirs nml trials of his ap pointed worK ns nn ngent ot Uhris', whom mts-iou whs there nppolntetl and itiust be lulhlled. Perceiving at once that an howst living was the first requisite lor an honest life, with the object of bis mission, ho exerted himseif to find employment with charitable persons lorsomoo! mo moro promising, ami took several ol them to his house, where h" fed and cl llied ihoin from his own M-imty means. Too Magdalen Any luui afforded a limited resource, und a few were periuimled lo take rel'uuo there; but tho great objections common to our charitable institution)! prevailed to deter them generally from ihu, and besides, tin provisions ol course had no application to those not yot osi to shame, but ready to mik, ami sinking linily, umb-r parental compulsion or tue normrs oi starvation, into the deep-er horrors id prostitution. At tiio saum lime ho tiryeil the requirements of iho cnne upon the society under which he acted. It was replied t.iat their constitution did not authorize them to uct as n charitable, but only a a religious associa tion. Instruction wus all thoy hnd to give. Anything further mint bo dono on bis own rettjhuisibiiity nnd nt ins own expense. Repulsed here, Mr. Peie betook himself to the om- ployers of feioulo labor its Iho Cily, lo obtain work for his poor clients. Alter snmodillunlty, n manufacturer ot shirts wns Ion nil, who consented to accept Mr. Pence's pertonnl respotmibility for the materials, ami on that security to try the expniiuieut of giving out work to die Five Points. Me now summoned the wretched women of the neighborhood to come to hii Chapel for work honest work n thing unknown, and impossible to them till that diy. The notice was circulated putsminlly from houa to house, and given uui uy ihu pre.icneron tue oaooaili, Ural on Moudny morning, at 7 o'clock, the Chapel would be opened as a work room, for alt who desired to gain an honest living. Hi fore iho Iwmr nppoimed, twenty women were waiting before (be door, and ubout thirty live commenced work on ihe lirnt day. A few regulations were imposed. No one should be parmiited to work who came intoxicated. All who worked should begin ny t OKI eg uie piengo oi toim nostiijence. Any one re lapsing into drunkenness or vice should bedischarged. ' Every one must attend regularly some place ol worship on the Sabbath. Tho women did well; the rules were generally ol served; very few relapsed into vice; :md from thai dny to this not an article of work hi been purloined by one of these persons. But the Ladies' Home Miss ounry Society were not all well plco-ed wiih this appropriation of their Chapel and their Missionary, Certain of its Directors accordingly called lo renin ntt rate, and to dissuade him from what they esteemed a mis1uk'iiQnd worldly policy. They reminded him that he had not been employed lo carry on a shirt manufactory, but to preach the Gospel. Mr. Pease, however, claimed the right to perform this ns extra labor, in ndditiun to ihe faithful discharge of tho peculiar duties of a Christian minister ; and thus the matter dropped. Tho remedy, however, did not yet go deep enough. To work under his supervision by day, nnd return at night to a brothel or gin shop, tended little to the improvement of their morals or reputation. Thev must have a home. And that homo must bo nt the Five Points, I o a better neighborhood their present cmli lion would render them at once n nuisance, and unwilling In remove. Tho lonely missionary felt ibis work resting wholly upon himself. Ho bad no human helper, save a devo ted and generous woman, his wile; he had no means save n small salary barely siilhcictit lor n decent suhiis teuce; ho hud no numerous and influential friends on whom to rely ; the very society whoo servant he was, p notedly declined to countenance his designs. In nnv circumstances, the responsibility f that which he now letertnh.ru: to do, would have been formidable and tht danger extreme; in his circumstances tbev were over whelming 1 and it vs not too much to s iy, that few men have ever lived who would not hive shrunk from the onlernrie ns a piece of madness. Following the loot- stops of their Divine Master with an unhesitating and uiicalciilaiing soll-sacnlico superior to titir praise, Mr. and Mrs. Pease determined lo remove to the Five Points, and make their own dwelling an asylum for tho outcasts. We cannot trust ourselves to comment upon Ibis act, nor does tho occasion, or, wm migi,t trust, (he public insensibility demand it. It is not for us lo commend them "whoso praise is not of men, hut ot God Not a tenement, however could be had for money. All were appropriated, and for tho foulest purposes, i no onty means oi making a hrra'-ii m these fortifications of vice, was to enforce the law against them as nuisances. Justices Osborne nnd Bogoi I, of the Police Court, and N, t). Blunt, Eq., District Attorney, were found ready to co-opt rato ellii ieutly hi this duty, ami n policed, an, liauitd John McManus, volunteered his assistance to carrv through all necessary mensutes to root out the hrolhls. An opening was made on Little Water street, nilio ning the chapel, and two houses were immediately emptied of their loathsome tenants, nml hired by Mr. Pease at fl.'0 each. Policeman McManus, whoso name deserves honorable mention for his zealous services and the persecution which he voluntarily encountered in tho discharge of this du'y, proceeded with the work, until every house on the square was emptied and labelled "To Let." Alter me two nouses n m neen cieanseu, iyir. and Mrs. Pease immediately removed thither, added to their own lurnituro a Urge number of cots, and brought in about thirty of their abandoned protftrr on the li ret day. One dollar nml twenty-live cents per work wns deducted irom mo earnings oi each adult, to meet the expense of board, Iho remainder being paid over lo them weekly. From Iho first, all in mates, though Ireo to leave the Institution nt any time, worn kept under strict and continued surveillance while connected with it, and required to attend family ami public worsh'p with regularity. This wns Iho last ol July. About the first nf September following, Mr. IVe felt it bis duly lo urgo upon tho Ladies' HoineMis-l slonary Soc'nity the necessity of a day school for the Five Points' children, within their own forbidding neighborhood, out of which it was useless lo invite them for stieh a purpose Their reply wns the same ns bef ire, but did not discotirnge him. Ho immedi ately set about the enterprise ou his own respunsibili iy, iJiini"! iiHri;-nn w-t innronii mi jo on street, msdfl ihe tint donation, in school -hooka stilllcient to stock tho school room. Colton, tho well known pub lisher ot maps, mndo Iho second donation. But the most important event in Iho history of the mission, was Iho intervention of James Donetsou, Esq., a prominent and wealthy member of the Presbyterian denomination, who. at about this time, having beard of tho operations nf Mr. Pease, visited the Five Points, and became deeply interested In the mission. Il happened that the venerable Mrs, Bedell, widow of Ihe late ltv. Dr. Bedell, of Philadelohin. and niotln r of tlio present Itev. George T. Bedell, of Ihe Ascension Church, in this city, who had been nm nig tho earliest patron of missionary effort at the Five Points, hnd about two yenrs previously railed the sum of $700 lo establish a school in lhat quarter; but until this time no proper agency had been found for applying tho fund. Through Mr. Donolson, Hits money was now appropriated to the expenses of ibe school founded by Mr. Pease. The salary u( the lonelier, and he L idirV Home Missionary Society, but discontin ued on uieir part alter six mucin, was added perma ueiitlv to tho school. For two year and a half, Mr. Dntielson continued its Datron. viiitinz it almo-d daily. and disbursing considerable sums for its support. Mnce which, impaired heal in and the urgent claims of private all airs, have compelled htm to discontinue bin assiduous care. The school was opened with thirty or forty chi dren, and in six months increased lo a hundred and fifty in regular attendance, vMeh is now its aver.igo number, employing three female teachers. About half nf these oeiung literally to the family td Mr. and Mrs. I'ense, beini; supported entirely at the expense of the Mission. Many of the others receive, besides instruction, partial h'uird in the Institution. They wore at first very unmanageable, and it was a year before order and discipline began to ba satisfactorily established. They were likewise filthy In the extreme, rendering the air of the school-room insupportable, and causing sickness among its occupants. It became necessary to provide a bathing-room for each sex, with a man and woman to wash thechildren in a thorough manner, at frequent intervals. At the present time it is doubtful, ot Last, whether any public or charitable school in our city- presents an aspect of order or cleanliness surpassing that of the Five Points' children io tho House of In dustry. These children, although inapt to ihe use of buoki, are remarkably quijk to receivo every kind of oral instruction, and, on tho whole, mako a satisfactory progress. Particularly is their demeanor remarkable for propriety, decency and kindness. Their religious instruction has been scriptural, but carefully utnecto rian. To tho unceasing exertion of Mrs. Bedell, and the munificent benefactions nf the Ascension Church, amounting to an average of nt feast $1000 yearly, these children are mainly indebted, under God, fur their inestimably privilegi-s. Some reflections ot the committee on theitibject ate worthy of remembrance Tho following paragraphs contain words of wisdom fitly apkeii; It is the object of this address lo initiate un organ ized movement for the indi fiuite extension of the system of Mr. Pease, with a view to the complete removal and future exclusion of ubsolu'o wnnt and enforced crime and beggary from our city. Tho immediate step dictated by the present stage of experience, and tlio present necessities j, to establish, in connection with the House ol Indmtry at tho rive Points, a pure ati'l healthful countrv retreat, where those who would gladly llee from vice, hut lack Iho rower, may be col ooiiid; and where, in a Christian home, among the inllui-nrea of nature, occupied and self supported by houot labor, nnd remote from the temptations and excitements of their old haunts, thy may be trained up to n useful, virtuous and happy life. The chains of habit, association, musical influence, and too often of alcoholic appetite, it is found are too strong ior many in tiiese purlieus, who may yet he en couraged to some ell irl tor sell-elevation. I ll so may he saved by removal they tnunt perish if they remain, Multitudes of children, the mere span of vice if left here, would be gladly given up by the'r degraded pa rents to a better destiny; but their hope of salvation too often ilepeudn on their removal from the daily access and influence of those parents. For many, removal to some locality more favorable to morul and physical health, is indispensable to all it is evidently ol i lie highest importance. The economical advantages resulting from ihe pro pond extension are too obvious lo require utgiug Among these will bo nt once suggested to every mind the greater variety of labor attainable, by martlet gar-iloitin nml n variety of m uiuf ictures in which the childien. who con do so little lor their own support in uy Institution, can bo universally employed with the c profit the cheapness of living in the countrv th economy of raidng their own vegetable suooli-s and the increased fikieiiey nf every mind ond muscle in ine einl!siitneui, resulting Irom quiet seclusion, the absence of temptation, nnd the invigorating elt'ects of aire and natural air. It is believed lhat but the most inconsiderable yearly subsidies will bo required fri public charity, to sustain tho establishment, alter the nnginal expense ol fjrmand buildings shall have been provided for. The all-important position now held in tho enemy's country js on no account to be given up, but rather strengthened and ixiemled. Every tenement emptied of i's vicious inmates will be at once filled with honest a d industrious poor, for whom dwellings are at nil times in urgent demand io the exclusion, by legal force, if necessary, of ihe bawds who now nav Chris tian landlords exorbitant rents for their prison-houses of horror and despair. Thus the area of firm ground will be steadily extended ami seduoosly maintained, in ine worst quarters oi uih city; and no denmnstra tlvo Ins been our experience of ihe general willing tiens, nay, eagerness, ol the abandoned to relinquish iho terrible wages id' their sin, lhat we nIVirm, without hfsitation, that tho progress of the work need not bo limned, except hy the number of the physically inise rable among our vicious classes. We are aware of ihe common notion that tho post houses of sexual vice aro Ihe product of a demand ex isting in large cities, nnd can be materially diminished only by purifying the licentious character of mon. Doubtless there is such a demand, and white It exists it will inevitably create a supply. But the melancholy inn is, inn ine supply irom me resources ot lemille destitution and despair is so overwhelming as lo invite and draw on corruption in the other sex to a thousand fold augmented degree, nnd, after all tins, lo so chea pen the bodies and souls of women in the horrid mart, that their price is yet but one remove from starving desiiiiitioii. Remove ihe necessities of tho one sex, with the consequent tern ritat ions of the other, and this crowning pest of city life will be restricted to the voluntary associationsof the comparative few who aro disposed by instinct, and who are able, hy iho nature of ihe case, to find tho most revolting self degradation ngrei'ohlo or profitable. Wo believe that in this way the great proximate cause of inciensing licentiousness in our youdt of all classes would be removed ; fullv convinced that in actual life in cities the practice (ns necessitated) breeds the disposition far inuro than il is me uuii oi ii. MR. LESTER'S REPLY TO THE ASSAULTS OF THE CABINET. C. E Iwards Lester, a the N.

The tone of the Time' correspondent in n-ierencn to mo uatnuei, has been recently changed, ami folsnnie laudation has given place to caustic stric tures upon its policy. This change has induced (hose champions, par excellence of (lie President and Ids advisers, the Washington Union arid Ihe Boston Pott, to make a bitter attack on Lester's character, and to furnish proof of (he charges by reference to documents in the Department of State. This attack has brought ont a reply from Lester, in the N. York Herald, of Sat urday lust, copied below. The reply place some members of tho Cabinet before the world in a light anything but enviable. To say nothing of Mr. Cush-iug, we had given Mr. Marcy credit for more shrewdness thnu is evinced by the attacks on Lester, if he was aware ol the evidence lo refute the charges which wns tin file in ihe Department.

Hon. William L. Marey. Secretary of State : Sin A tew days ngo the Washington Union and the D"sioii rost simultaneously published a most tnjus' and libellous attack upon my private and public character. The authors say that thoy got their information from iho Department of Stale. It appears that you had a libef against mo in the archives committed In your triiHr, and that you chose to publish it. I shall mereiore now you responsible lor it. lour colleague, Judge Campbell, refused to furnish conies of libellous information against Mr. Watson ; perhaps it would have been ns well for vou if von bad follewed his ex ample. The public also held you responsible for those attacks on me, because they appeared in your two principal organs. Thosn nrpiinn base their cluirffei of nllicial misconduct during my Consulship in Italy, upon the ti'sijtnnnj of Robert Wicklift', Jr , who was Charge d'Afiiire at the Court of Sardinia a part of the time while I waa Consul io ihe same kingdom; nlso, that it wns in pursutnee uf Mr. Wicklift' charges that I was I recalled. You have invoked Ihe teslomony ot a man tin longer among the living. The snme hard ol lite i lend shall write my justification. It is very cosy to blast character, und aouietimes a lie will live. The' st.b, especially when it comes from an unsuspected qunrier, cannot nlwnyn be foiled. There is often no remedy for the virus of calumny's sting; but happen in this case to have one. The same charges of Mr. WicklilV, now in your department, were made against me in Italy, where he says, in a letter lo mo : " I have learned, from the most unouesiionable author ity, lhat you havo, over your own signature, offered t sell for money tho vice consulship of Genoa; nnd, for iho s'ime consideration, lo procure the appointment of an inhabitant of Turin as consul of the United States i at Cajjliari." I I also hold tho following rttrne.tian from Mr. Wick lilV, written two weeks later: I "I was Rat idied h-'foro Voll left that vour conduct' hnd been slandered I am now without a shadow ol lotihloti tlieautnect. Siiiuo you left. I have discovered that my informant, (who hid been recommended lo me as a man ol respectability, and whom thought a ert-dibln person,) t a moat infamwit teoundiel. and nn better than a eommon thi-f. 1 have ordered hin never ng rin to net foot in my houte. and my friend, the Marfuu e orauHr, nat put mm under tie turvrt't'tnee oj ttte police t nm particularly happy lo learn that Mrs. L. is restored to her usual spirits, and trust has no hard ihou-'ht against mo for a step which, under the circumstances, duty nniiged me to take. I set great value upon her good opinion, and I beg lhat she will be assured that my feelings towards her and yourself are the same as before thii calumny was poured into my enrs." " it WlUKLIt r , JR. This rotraction was also sent to the State Department. and with tt, without much pains, I presiimo, one of your clerks could find acopyof a despatch to me from Mr. Buchiimn, then Secretary of State, exempting me from till charges of ollrcial misconduct. lo tthnw that Mr. WieklitF's charges asniust ma hail nothing to do with my recall, I reprint the folowing noie, wuicii tie wrote alter I was recalled! Turin, Nov. 14, 1817. Sir: In reply to your letter of the lilth ult-. inuui- ring of me whether you have beeu reculled at the in stance of this government, have to state, lhat is a point upon wnictl nave no knowledae, and am, therefore. unable to give you any information. The despatches of ,ir. nuctiaoan simply inform meol the nomination ot I Mr. John M. Ptierson, of Virginia, in your place, and transmit his commission for (he purpose of obtaining un exequatur. R. W1CKLIFF, Jr. This I deem sufficient for my vindication just now. . The man yoti have quoted proves that your ot gins nre mistaken. Your organs accuse mo of hanging around Concoul several days, nml iuiporinr ing with character-1 istic ell'iotilery the President elect for nfhVo. Gnnernl Pierce knows that this is false. I wont to Concord in I the middlo of February, lor one purpose only. I saw General Pierce, and told him tint 1 was the American correspondent of Ibe London Times, and that I ib-siied to know the names of ihe members of his Cabinet in advance of public information. I was kindly received, and my business was dono in less itmti three minuted, when I withdrew, to t ike the down train to Boston. At General Price's request, however, I remained, be-cause he said he wished to converse with mo; od nt live o'clock, by his own appointment, he cnlh il on me, took me to his private mom, and wo remained sever d hours together; but neither thou nor subsequently did I ever say one word lo General Pierce about an (dike for myself. What tho public h s hitherto known about this interview never went from me. 1 took the first train the next morning for Boston, where, in consequence of something General Pierce had said, I called mi Caleb Cashing. Ho was out. I wrote him a no'o to the licet thai, having just cnraj from Concord, I wanted to nee htm that 1 hid good reasons for believing that bo would not only go into the C ibinet, but bo the ruling spirit of it that, us Ihe correspondent of Ihe London Times, f wUhod to be exact in all my statements, and I wished he would refer mo to any authentic sketch ot Ins lite in print. Ihe loilowiug reply I have: Bostom, Feb. If), lft.rl. Mr Dts.it Sin : I have received your friendly letter of the 17th, but the hook did not come to hand; notwithstanding which my obligations to you are not j A PRECIOUS DOCUMENT. No paper has beeu prepared and sent forth by the preseut adminutratiou that so fully sets forth the principles of the men now in power, as the famous letter of Secretary Gutukie to the Collector at New York. Our readers are awure of the quarrel that ii going on between the Hards nnd theMuf'a of that State. Marct belongs to (he Softs, and tho policy of tho administration' ha been to buy up the old Barnburners and Buffalo pint form men, by giving them office. This ha arrayed Ihe old lino Democracy against lh- President aDd his cabinet. Collector Bnossos is ono of tho Hards, and in his appointments ho has rtmcmbereri his friends. This has been a matter of complaint on the part of the Softs, and they havo carried their grievances to Washington. The subject of the distribution of tho spoils has been gravely discussed in cabinet council, and llie President ha formally iiitdnicted the Secretary of the treasury to say to Ihe Collector of New lork, that he must appoint a portion of I'aniburners to ihe subordi nate posts about the Custom House. Think of this, reader. The President ond cabinet of this great Nation, leaving the importnnt atlairs, thut should ctigngo Iheir attention, and descending to the paltry business of directing who should bo appointed weighrrs and dmy- men nt u Custom House. Wo do not know how oibeis may regard this letter, but it seems to us to be getting lower depth than has ever before been reached. It seems to bo designed (o force H no tort to resign. How ho can consent to bo dictated to, in this way, in the selection of his subordinates, and retain his self-respect, i-r a question lhat puzzles honest men. fiie following ts the letter, and we put it nn rocord, as one id" tho signs of tho times : Washington, Oct. 3, 1853. IEn Si rt: Since the converse' ion we had upon the subject of ihe unfortunate div ision in the Democratic party in New York, I feel more convinced that ibe organization cannot fail to eii'Iaog-T (he success ol tho principles of i h party thore, and to prove injurious elsewhere. But Ihe ep iraiioii is i ft'-ct( d. A conviction has forced itself upon my niii.d. lhat, by I), rno-crats pledged to each o'her upon a common platform nf principles, the division could and ought lo have neen prevented. You aro aware tint the principles of the Baltimore convention, and the polit y in-fieaN-d in the inaugural address, tho president and bis constitutional advisers stand pledged to before llie world. They have been and nre united ns one man upon tboso principb s at;d that policy, and h id reason to believe that nil gentle men wtio consented lo accept titfii o under Ihe administration, stood pledged to the same principles and policy. As ihe president tinderstandN tho principle avowed as the platform of the parly nt Baltimore, all Democrats who joined in upholding nnd carrying out the same, were entitled to be recognized us worthy of the confidence ot ttie united party, and consequently etegi-ble lo official staliou. That all could not ebMin office was manifest, and that the distribution could not b exactly amongst the difnareht sections of the party wa equally certain. Yet the distribution was intended to bo so made as to give no just cause of complaint to nny ono section, and It ia believed that this iu'emion Ins been curried nut, not uuly by tho president himcelf, but by most of his appointees, in respect to the offices under the latter. It ha so happened that yur appointmenls have been very gem-rally made from that portion of the party to which yon adhere. This you thought best calculated to secure union nnd harmony. That desirable object lias failed lo hei.btained. and the other portion ol the party feel thai they have not been fullyre-cognix-d by you, and, as things now stand, may not do justice to your motives. I call your attention to thii nihject, and to the fact that the I'rcnUent and hit Cabinet teiti entire unanimity recognize thit pot twn of the party at Democratt itittine'ly avawwir and firmly maintaining the prvictplet of the HnUimort platform, and entitled to be re-eiemzed hy appointment lo official ttnlioni in yiur depart ment. Allow me to oxprea ihe cxpuciation that you will so recognize them in Ihe only wny thut will curry conviction with it. 1 have not hitherto deemed it necessary to make nny particular inquiry tu lo ihe section of the Democratic parly to which persons nominated for positions in the custom house, nt New York, belong prior to tho reunion of iho party in 18l! which re-union was sup posed lo have been thoroughly cemented in the grand ondt triumphant contest in 18)2. But as the present excited state of feeling among politicil friends who acted together iu 18.VJ, and who now stttnd unequivocally upon ihe same platform of principles in New York, is sugjtestivo of a discrimination of which the ad.niiiistrati in will not approve. I snail send a copy uf this letter to Iho Naval Officer nnd the Surveyor of the Port, in oiler that there may be no misapprehension as to the policy which tho President will require tobe pursued. I am, very respectfully, JAMES GUTHRIE. G. C. Bkomsok, Eny, Collector, N. Y. Vkrt Important Mchcw. Intelliokkck Otto or tiosxs tiio if-y. nimiict H.Cox. ot Brooklyn, has the less. I fully agree with yon as tu tho patriotic purposes and brilliant prospects with which General Pierce enters on the Presidency. If there should be occasion for It, I will send you the data f"r which you ask, and for the suggestion of wh ch I nm highly indebted lo you. I starlet, as you may perhaps know, from the same point, so far as re.-girds education, atmosphere and mentil culture, with Mr. BvcreM and Mr. Bancroft. Th"ir lives have been of h moro learned nml meditative cast than mine, and mine of a moro adventurous and active complexion than thiri. In the details of each, correspondences nnd contrasts occur, which may facilitate what you propose in suggesiivem-ss to the mind of Englishmen. Meanwhile, 1 am very iruiy yours, C. CUSHING. C. EnwARns Lxstcr, Esq. When I got lo Washington, ten days after the inaug oration, Mr. Cushing nailed mi me immedia'ely, at Vtlllnrd Hotel, and invited mo In nomo lit Ins ollire, where ho would explain ih foreign p uicy of tho administration, "fir me to put into the London Ttm't." The LontL'ti Tmct don't keep correspondents who would miss such n chance n that, i wen! ; lie locked his door, and for two hours I wrote nt hi dictation what he wanted published In the London Timet. I subdued llie matter somewhat, and rend it to him. He approved of it. and you asked mo to read the totter to you. Who had told you that I wrote itf You know 1 don't, 1 have never seen lhat letter in the Loudon 7W. You know that I wrote for General Pierre as sirong as I could everywhere. You know that the Loud, u Timet wrote lor him as strong as it could You know that, in both cases, we only gave interstice ti the general feeling of the couuirv. You learned in someway, afterwards, that the tone of my correspondence changed. toil know, too, that tlieopim tisol thecountry changed, 1 have learned from a variety of quartets that you got uneasy on tho stiHrct.

Annuel Smith nut At borne on Now Year's dny in dishabille. His hoard was unslmved; his hair nn com lied; liti long boots unblackod ; ha wan Icnning hack in n picturesque attitude, wiili hU heels ngninst the mantle-piece smoking a cigar. Samuel thought to himself lhat, as it whs leap year, it would ho glorious if the I fiilios would pop the quesuon in accordance with their ancient privileges. As he sat wnicliiug the smoke which curled so graco. fully, hi fancy glowed with the idea, how delightful it would ho to have the dear creatures fondling him, and with their lender glances endeavoring to do ihe agreeiilile. As ho meditated, hit henrt softened, anil he began to fool a squeamish, womanish sensibly diffused uver i i m feelings, Bud he thought ho would faint with propriety tin tint lime a lady squeezed his hand. Hup, nip, ftp. sounded the door. Sirauel peeped through tho Vetiitiati blinds. " Mercy ! " exrUimed he, if there isn't Miss Jones and 1 in dishabille, und looking like a fright good gracious! I must go nnd fix myself." He left the room Miss Jones entered, and with a composed air intimated that she could wait. She was a linn believer in woman's right, and no that the season was propitious, the determined to lake the advantage thereof, nnd do a little courting on her own honk. It wm ono of woman's privileges, which had been Usurped by the tyrant man. and she determined to assert hcrriJitft in spite of tho hollow lurmalities of the (also system nt society. On Sim's return to the room, she exclaimed : "Dearest, how bonutiful vou look." nc romnnnvimr her words with a glance of undisguised admiration. "Spare the blushes of a modem young mun," snid Hum, applying tiio cambric to his fucn to liidu his con fiition. "Nay, my live, why no coy T" snid Susan, "turn n. t away 'h"flo bninlirul eye, tlnrlc as jet, hut sparkling as tho di iinond, i.Utoit to iho vows of ail'ectjoi,.

" L'favu theeT" said Stiian, pressing him closer to her: j" never! until the story of reatless nights of unquiet aspiration, fond emotions and undjiag love in laid before thee.

Meanwhile, I h j enamored maiden hung loudly over him, and Hlowly the eyes of 8 imuel Smith opened ho gazed wildly ah itit him then meeting the ardent gaze of his lover, ho blushed deeply, nnd from behind his handkerchief faintly falter it out "Ask my ma." DEATH OF ARAQO, The serious illness of Francois Dominique Am go, the celebrated Kronen savant, of which we have been informed by nur previous European advices, prepares us f r the tidings of his deith, which is announced nmong the news of the morning by tho arrival of the Atlantic.

Aratro was horn nt Eitngel, in the smith of France, February Sii, l"fiii,and wm consequently in his sixty-eighth year at the time of his death. At the age of eighteen, he entered (ho i'olyteidinic School at Paris, and after remaining two years in thnt i (munition, he received the appointment of Secretary in tin llureau nf Lnti!itudes. In this capacity, in conjunction with M. tti'tt, and the Spanish Commission, he continued the measurement o an arc of the nieridinn in Spain, which had been commenced by Delnmbre and Michain. While nt Minorca, the Spattiartls rose against Nipo-Icon, nnd being suspected of niding die French troops, M. Arago whs arrested and ihrown into prison, Alter remaining several mouths in the citadel nf Uelver, he made his escape to Algiers, from which port h took passage in an Algerine vessid to Murseilles. On the vojHgo, however, he wns agiin taken by a Spani-h cniizer, and carried prisoner lo Fort of Uosas. Ite leaed, nt length, by the intervention nf the D.-y of Algiers with the Spanish Government, ho om:e nmre attempted to return to Algiers, lint when almost in port, the vesel in which ho had embarked sull'ered shipwrck. Mo was thrown on the Sardinian Const, whence be nmde his wny for tho second time to Algiers. More ho found the old Dey hnd junt been asasitinated.

It Mas ll'it iir.nl IHlCt. that the deunnds of the French Consul f t his freedom were complied with, and he wns pei mined to set sail for Ins native country. Alter mtking a narrow escape from nn Knglish Irigatc, he landed snfely in France, and at once repaired for Paris. As a reward for tho stifTeringshe had experienced in the discharL'1) of htsscieutilic itulie, he was elected at J he nge of 23, a member ot the Academy of Sciences, in place of Lilande, and received I rum tho Emperor, who held hitu in high esteem, iho nppoiutmunt of Pro-feasor nt the Polytechnic School. For several years, he devoted himsr'lf to iimtnicij.m at this institution in various branches of mathematics.

Wo extract from Judge Uarrington's " Personal 1 Sketches of Ireland Fifty Venrs Ago" the following interesting account ofnn interview between Uandolpu ami Burr and ihn Irish orator, Grattaul Col. Burr, who had been vice-president of America, and probably would have been the nest president, but for his unfortunate duel with Gen. Hamilton, came over to England, nnd was made known to me by Mr Handolph, nf South Carolina, with whom I was very intitnaie. Mo reipieiied that I would introduce him to Mr. Grattan, whom he was excessively anxious to see. Uid. Burr was not a man of very preM managing appesr-ance rough Icatured, and neither dressy nor polished, hut n well informed, sensible man; and though not particularly agreeable, yot an instructive compani m. People n general lorm extravagant anticipations regarding eminent persons. The idea of a ifrentornior and an lrih chief carried with it, naturally enough. corresponding notions ol puysicu elenuce, vigor and dicnitv. Such wns Col. B.trr's inint-ike, I believe, about Mr. (irattan, and I took care not to tindeceivo him. We went lo my friend's house, who was to lenvo London the next day. 1 announced that Col. Burr, from America, Mr. Itnndolph and myself wished lo pay our respects, ami the servant informed ns that his master would re-'eivo us in a short lime, but was at lhat moment much occupied on btminesa of consequence. Burr's expectations were all on the alert. Kandolph alo wns very anxious lo be presented to the great (irattan, and both wero impatient for the entrance of tliis Demosihenes. At length Iho door opened, and ill honiied a small, bent figure, meagre, yellow, and ordinary ; one slipper and one shoe ; bis breeches knees loose) bis cravat hanging downt bis shirt nnd coat sleeves tucked up high, and nn old hat upon his Dead. This apparition saluted the stranger very eonrto- ouslv. asKcd, without an introduction, how lotia Ihev had been in England, and immediately proceeded to make itiiinries about the la'e General whinnton ami the Revolutionary war. My couiMnnions looked at each other t their replies were cotiivo, and they senmed quite Impatient to see Mr. Grattan. I could scarcely contain myself, but determined to lot my eccentric cnnnirymiiu lake hi own course, who Appeared quite delighted to see his visitors, and was the most inquisi tive person In the world. Kandolph was far the tallest and most aigninea looking man 01 'jio two. gray haired and welt dressed. Griitlail, therefore, ot course, took him for the Vice President and addressed) him accordingly. Uandolph nt lengtti neggeti 10 amw if they could shortly have the honor of seeing Mr. Grattan. Upon which our host, not doubting but thai they knew him. conceived lhat il must be his son James for whom they inquired, nnd said he believed be hint that moment wandered out somowuero uibiuuku himself, 1 This completely disconcerted tho Americans, and they wore about to make their bow and their exii. when 1 thought it htxh time to explain; and, taking Col. Burr and Mr. Randolph respectively by Ihe baud, introduced them to the Hight lion. Henry unman. I never saw people stare so, or so much embarrassed. Grattan himself, now perceiving tho cause, Imnrtilv honed In mv merriment. Mo nulled down hi shirt 'sleeves, pulled up his stockings, and in his own Irresntiblo way, apologized for the omct-figure he cut, assuring them lhat he bad totally overlooked it to bis anxiety not to keep them waning; that he was returning to Ireland next morning and hail boon busily enoagod packing up hi book and paper, in a closet full of dust and onbwehal This incident ren dered the interview more interesting. The Americans were charmed with their reception, and nfter a protracted visit, retired highly gratified, while Grattan relumed again to his imuks and conweos. Pansua Thirvbs.

A Report by the Director! of the Five Points House or industry, under tue charge oi Kev. l. m. rease, Tho New York papers contain un elaborate and ex ceedingly interesting report ol a committee, appointed for the purpose, on the plan of operations, pursued by Rev. Mr. Peasr, at the famous place called "Five Points, in New York, As the clloris of ihu peM-cuc rilicing clergyman und bis wife, aro of vital importance, and as tho detail of his system may not be generally understood, we propose to copy a fo parn graphs from the report. We know of nothing of more importance to our grent cities I htm tho discovery of some efficient plan to romovo Ihe haunts of crime, want, profligacy and drunkenness trom their midst, The vurious steps by which this has been dune in the very worst locality, in Now York, aro thus let forth by the committee : in the Spring ot 1850, llrv. L. M. Pease, a minister of some nine years' standing in the Methodist Episcopal Church, wns appointed by the Now York Annual Conference to commence a mission in Centre street, or us vicinity, umnn.' the poor and neglected inhabitants of that part of the city. This mission was established under the patronage, and directiotiof the Ladies' Home Missionary Society, ot iioMthodist Episcopal Church. After a diligent search, a mom, lately used as agin shop, on the corner ot Cross mid Little Water streets. fa portion of the present House of Industry) was rented and cleansed, to servo as n chapel. Mr. Pease itn mediately exerted himself wiih self denying ansiduity to conciliate tho abandoned inn ibitants and their friendless children, an ns to form a congregation nnd Sunday school. A con mi I emu la attendance wns at om-o obtained, both of children nnd aduits, in all tho filthiuss and raggednuss of their every -day condition, mid what was worse, in the disorderly, drunken, profane, and savngo habits which none lud ever trt right them to lay niide, even for an hour. It wm nearly impnihle, with the utmost energy and pTiiveratico, to obtain u hear.ni.' before such an audionce, or to win. by all the urts ol Christian kindness, a moment's serious and respectful attention from one of the degraded unfortunate who composed it. When sure sslul in this, the Missionary seemed scarcely to have made any progress, for the utter impos ibdity uf escape from iheir ino'lo of life, except through tho gates of death, was forced upon him in the tirnt attempt ot practical exhortation, and sometimes with piteous eloquence by tho despairing victims themselves. None, of course, would entrust them with work, far less admit them into houses or work shops, und the result was that their first steps from iho ileptlis of debising vice towards a Christian lite, must be a voluntary act of self martyrdom. The case of the children wus hardly better, for the begin mngoi vinuo lor ttiem must tie lis forsaking such mis ernhle subsistence and shelter ns the parental den af forded, lor hopeless vaiirauey, bogjary, mid tho house oi correction. Mr. Pease met tho dilli uliirs nml trials of his ap pointed worK ns nn ngent ot Uhris', whom mts-iou whs there nppolntetl and itiust be lulhlled. Perceiving at once that an howst living was the first requisite lor an honest life, with the object of bis mission, ho exerted himseif to find employment with charitable persons lorsomoo! mo moro promising, ami took several ol them to his house, where h" fed and cl llied ihoin from his own M-imty means. Too Magdalen Any luui afforded a limited resource, und a few were periuimled lo take rel'uuo there; but tho great objections common to our charitable institution)! prevailed to deter them generally from ihu, and besides, tin provisions ol course had no application to those not yot osi to shame, but ready to mik, ami sinking linily, umb-r parental compulsion or tue normrs oi starvation, into the deep-er horrors id prostitution. At tiio saum lime ho tiryeil the requirements of iho cnne upon the society under which he acted. It was replied t.iat their constitution did not authorize them to uct as n charitable, but only a a religious associa tion. Instruction wus all thoy hnd to give. Anything further mint bo dono on bis own rettjhuisibiiity nnd nt ins own expense. Repulsed here, Mr. Peie betook himself to the om- ployers of feioulo labor its Iho Cily, lo obtain work for his poor clients. Alter snmodillunlty, n manufacturer ot shirts wns Ion nil, who consented to accept Mr. Pence's pertonnl respotmibility for the materials, ami on that security to try the expniiuieut of giving out work to die Five Points. Me now summoned the wretched women of the neighborhood to come to hii Chapel for work honest work n thing unknown, and impossible to them till that diy. The notice was circulated putsminlly from houa to house, and given uui uy ihu pre.icneron tue oaooaili, Ural on Moudny morning, at 7 o'clock, the Chapel would be opened as a work room, for alt who desired to gain an honest living. Hi fore iho Iwmr nppoimed, twenty women were waiting before (be door, and ubout thirty live commenced work on ihe lirnt day. A few regulations were imposed. No one should be parmiited to work who came intoxicated. All who worked should begin ny t OKI eg uie piengo oi toim nostiijence. Any one re lapsing into drunkenness or vice should bedischarged. ' Every one must attend regularly some place ol worship on the Sabbath. Tho women did well; the rules were generally ol served; very few relapsed into vice; :md from thai dny to this not an article of work hi been purloined by one of these persons. But the Ladies' Home Miss ounry Society were not all well plco-ed wiih this appropriation of their Chapel and their Missionary, Certain of its Directors accordingly called lo renin ntt rate, and to dissuade him from what they esteemed a mis1uk'iiQnd worldly policy. They reminded him that he had not been employed lo carry on a shirt manufactory, but to preach the Gospel. Mr. Pease, however, claimed the right to perform this ns extra labor, in ndditiun to ihe faithful discharge of tho peculiar duties of a Christian minister ; and thus the matter dropped. Tho remedy, however, did not yet go deep enough. To work under his supervision by day, nnd return at night to a brothel or gin shop, tended little to the improvement of their morals or reputation. Thev must have a home. And that homo must bo nt the Five Points, I o a better neighborhood their present cmli lion would render them at once n nuisance, and unwilling In remove. Tho lonely missionary felt ibis work resting wholly upon himself. Ho bad no human helper, save a devo ted and generous woman, his wile; he had no means save n small salary barely siilhcictit lor n decent suhiis teuce; ho hud no numerous and influential friends on whom to rely ; the very society whoo servant he was, p notedly declined to countenance his designs. In nnv circumstances, the responsibility f that which he now letertnh.ru: to do, would have been formidable and tht danger extreme; in his circumstances tbev were over whelming 1 and it vs not too much to s iy, that few men have ever lived who would not hive shrunk from the onlernrie ns a piece of madness. Following the loot- stops of their Divine Master with an unhesitating and uiicalciilaiing soll-sacnlico superior to titir praise, Mr. and Mrs. Pease determined lo remove to the Five Points, and make their own dwelling an asylum for tho outcasts. We cannot trust ourselves to comment upon Ibis act, nor does tho occasion, or, wm migi,t trust, (he public insensibility demand it. It is not for us lo commend them "whoso praise is not of men, hut ot God Not a tenement, however could be had for money. All were appropriated, and for tho foulest purposes, i no onty means oi making a hrra'-ii m these fortifications of vice, was to enforce the law against them as nuisances. Justices Osborne nnd Bogoi I, of the Police Court, and N, t). Blunt, Eq., District Attorney, were found ready to co-opt rato ellii ieutly hi this duty, ami n policed, an, liauitd John McManus, volunteered his assistance to carrv through all necessary mensutes to root out the hrolhls. An opening was made on Little Water street, nilio ning the chapel, and two houses were immediately emptied of their loathsome tenants, nml hired by Mr. Pease at fl.'0 each. Policeman McManus, whoso name deserves honorable mention for his zealous services and the persecution which he voluntarily encountered in tho discharge of this du'y, proceeded with the work, until every house on the square was emptied and labelled "To Let." Alter me two nouses n m neen cieanseu, iyir. and Mrs. Pease immediately removed thither, added to their own lurnituro a Urge number of cots, and brought in about thirty of their abandoned protftrr on the li ret day. One dollar nml twenty-live cents per work wns deducted irom mo earnings oi each adult, to meet the expense of board, Iho remainder being paid over lo them weekly. From Iho first, all in mates, though Ireo to leave the Institution nt any time, worn kept under strict and continued surveillance while connected with it, and required to attend family ami public worsh'p with regularity. This wns Iho last ol July. About the first nf September following, Mr. IVe felt it bis duly lo urgo upon tho Ladies' HoineMis-l slonary Soc'nity the necessity of a day school for the Five Points' children, within their own forbidding neighborhood, out of which it was useless lo invite them for stieh a purpose Their reply wns the same ns bef ire, but did not discotirnge him. Ho immedi ately set about the enterprise ou his own respunsibili iy, iJiini"! iiHri;-nn w-t innronii mi jo on street, msdfl ihe tint donation, in school -hooka stilllcient to stock tho school room. Colton, tho well known pub lisher ot maps, mndo Iho second donation. But the most important event in Iho history of the mission, was Iho intervention of James Donetsou, Esq., a prominent and wealthy member of the Presbyterian denomination, who. at about this time, having beard of tho operations nf Mr. Pease, visited the Five Points, and became deeply interested In the mission. Il happened that the venerable Mrs, Bedell, widow of Ihe late ltv. Dr. Bedell, of Philadelohin. and niotln r of tlio present Itev. George T. Bedell, of Ihe Ascension Church, in this city, who had been nm nig tho earliest patron of missionary effort at the Five Points, hnd about two yenrs previously railed the sum of $700 lo establish a school in lhat quarter; but until this time no proper agency had been found for applying tho fund. Through Mr. Donolson, Hits money was now appropriated to the expenses of ibe school founded by Mr. Pease. The salary u( the lonelier, and he L idirV Home Missionary Society, but discontin ued on uieir part alter six mucin, was added perma ueiitlv to tho school. For two year and a half, Mr. Dntielson continued its Datron. viiitinz it almo-d daily. and disbursing considerable sums for its support. Mnce which, impaired heal in and the urgent claims of private all airs, have compelled htm to discontinue bin assiduous care. The school was opened with thirty or forty chi dren, and in six months increased lo a hundred and fifty in regular attendance, vMeh is now its aver.igo number, employing three female teachers. About half nf these oeiung literally to the family td Mr. and Mrs. I'ense, beini; supported entirely at the expense of the Mission. Many of the others receive, besides instruction, partial h'uird in the Institution. They wore at first very unmanageable, and it was a year before order and discipline began to ba satisfactorily established. They were likewise filthy In the extreme, rendering the air of the school-room insupportable, and causing sickness among its occupants. It became necessary to provide a bathing-room for each sex, with a man and woman to wash thechildren in a thorough manner, at frequent intervals. At the present time it is doubtful, ot Last, whether any public or charitable school in our city- presents an aspect of order or cleanliness surpassing that of the Five Points' children io tho House of In dustry. These children, although inapt to ihe use of buoki, are remarkably quijk to receivo every kind of oral instruction, and, on tho whole, mako a satisfactory progress. Particularly is their demeanor remarkable for propriety, decency and kindness. Their religious instruction has been scriptural, but carefully utnecto rian. To tho unceasing exertion of Mrs. Bedell, and the munificent benefactions nf the Ascension Church, amounting to an average of nt feast $1000 yearly, these children are mainly indebted, under God, fur their inestimably privilegi-s. Some reflections ot the committee on theitibject ate worthy of remembrance Tho following paragraphs contain words of wisdom fitly apkeii; It is the object of this address lo initiate un organ ized movement for the indi fiuite extension of the system of Mr. Pease, with a view to the complete removal and future exclusion of ubsolu'o wnnt and enforced crime and beggary from our city. Tho immediate step dictated by the present stage of experience, and tlio present necessities j, to establish, in connection with the House ol Indmtry at tho rive Points, a pure ati'l healthful countrv retreat, where those who would gladly llee from vice, hut lack Iho rower, may be col ooiiid; and where, in a Christian home, among the inllui-nrea of nature, occupied and self supported by houot labor, nnd remote from the temptations and excitements of their old haunts, thy may be trained up to n useful, virtuous and happy life. The chains of habit, association, musical influence, and too often of alcoholic appetite, it is found are too strong ior many in tiiese purlieus, who may yet he en couraged to some ell irl tor sell-elevation. I ll so may he saved by removal they tnunt perish if they remain, Multitudes of children, the mere span of vice if left here, would be gladly given up by the'r degraded pa rents to a better destiny; but their hope of salvation too often ilepeudn on their removal from the daily access and influence of those parents. For many, removal to some locality more favorable to morul and physical health, is indispensable to all it is evidently ol i lie highest importance. The economical advantages resulting from ihe pro pond extension are too obvious lo require utgiug Among these will bo nt once suggested to every mind the greater variety of labor attainable, by martlet gar-iloitin nml n variety of m uiuf ictures in which the childien. who con do so little lor their own support in uy Institution, can bo universally employed with the c profit the cheapness of living in the countrv th economy of raidng their own vegetable suooli-s and the increased fikieiiey nf every mind ond muscle in ine einl!siitneui, resulting Irom quiet seclusion, the absence of temptation, nnd the invigorating elt'ects of aire and natural air. It is believed lhat but the most inconsiderable yearly subsidies will bo required fri public charity, to sustain tho establishment, alter the nnginal expense ol fjrmand buildings shall have been provided for. The all-important position now held in tho enemy's country js on no account to be given up, but rather strengthened and ixiemled. Every tenement emptied of i's vicious inmates will be at once filled with honest a d industrious poor, for whom dwellings are at nil times in urgent demand io the exclusion, by legal force, if necessary, of ihe bawds who now nav Chris tian landlords exorbitant rents for their prison-houses of horror and despair. Thus the area of firm ground will be steadily extended ami seduoosly maintained, in ine worst quarters oi uih city; and no denmnstra tlvo Ins been our experience of ihe general willing tiens, nay, eagerness, ol the abandoned to relinquish iho terrible wages id' their sin, lhat we nIVirm, without hfsitation, that tho progress of the work need not bo limned, except hy the number of the physically inise rable among our vicious classes. We are aware of ihe common notion that tho post houses of sexual vice aro Ihe product of a demand ex isting in large cities, nnd can be materially diminished only by purifying the licentious character of mon. Doubtless there is such a demand, and white It exists it will inevitably create a supply. But the melancholy inn is, inn ine supply irom me resources ot lemille destitution and despair is so overwhelming as lo invite and draw on corruption in the other sex to a thousand fold augmented degree, nnd, after all tins, lo so chea pen the bodies and souls of women in the horrid mart, that their price is yet but one remove from starving desiiiiitioii. Remove ihe necessities of tho one sex, with the consequent tern ritat ions of the other, and this crowning pest of city life will be restricted to the voluntary associationsof the comparative few who aro disposed by instinct, and who are able, hy iho nature of ihe case, to find tho most revolting self degradation ngrei'ohlo or profitable. Wo believe that in this way the great proximate cause of inciensing licentiousness in our youdt of all classes would be removed ; fullv convinced that in actual life in cities the practice (ns necessitated) breeds the disposition far inuro than il is me uuii oi ii. MR. LESTER'S REPLY TO THE ASSAULTS OF THE CABINET. C. E Iwards Lester, a the N.

The tone of the Time' correspondent in n-ierencn to mo uatnuei, has been recently changed, ami folsnnie laudation has given place to caustic stric tures upon its policy. This change has induced (hose champions, par excellence of (lie President and Ids advisers, the Washington Union arid Ihe Boston Pott, to make a bitter attack on Lester's character, and to furnish proof of (he charges by reference to documents in the Department of State. This attack has brought ont a reply from Lester, in the N. York Herald, of Sat urday lust, copied below. The reply place some members of tho Cabinet before the world in a light anything but enviable. To say nothing of Mr. Cush-iug, we had given Mr. Marcy credit for more shrewdness thnu is evinced by the attacks on Lester, if he was aware ol the evidence lo refute the charges which wns tin file in ihe Department.

Hon. William L. Marey. Secretary of State : Sin A tew days ngo the Washington Union and the D"sioii rost simultaneously published a most tnjus' and libellous attack upon my private and public character. The authors say that thoy got their information from iho Department of Stale. It appears that you had a libef against mo in the archives committed In your triiHr, and that you chose to publish it. I shall mereiore now you responsible lor it. lour colleague, Judge Campbell, refused to furnish conies of libellous information against Mr. Watson ; perhaps it would have been ns well for vou if von bad follewed his ex ample. The public also held you responsible for those attacks on me, because they appeared in your two principal organs. Thosn nrpiinn base their cluirffei of nllicial misconduct during my Consulship in Italy, upon the ti'sijtnnnj of Robert Wicklift', Jr , who was Charge d'Afiiire at the Court of Sardinia a part of the time while I waa Consul io ihe same kingdom; nlso, that it wns in pursutnee uf Mr. Wicklift' charges that I was I recalled. You have invoked Ihe teslomony ot a man tin longer among the living. The snme hard ol lite i lend shall write my justification. It is very cosy to blast character, und aouietimes a lie will live. The' st.b, especially when it comes from an unsuspected qunrier, cannot nlwnyn be foiled. There is often no remedy for the virus of calumny's sting; but happen in this case to have one. The same charges of Mr. WicklilV, now in your department, were made against me in Italy, where he says, in a letter lo mo : " I have learned, from the most unouesiionable author ity, lhat you havo, over your own signature, offered t sell for money tho vice consulship of Genoa; nnd, for iho s'ime consideration, lo procure the appointment of an inhabitant of Turin as consul of the United States i at Cajjliari." I I also hold tho following rttrne.tian from Mr. Wick lilV, written two weeks later: I "I was Rat idied h-'foro Voll left that vour conduct' hnd been slandered I am now without a shadow ol lotihloti tlieautnect. Siiiuo you left. I have discovered that my informant, (who hid been recommended lo me as a man ol respectability, and whom thought a ert-dibln person,) t a moat infamwit teoundiel. and nn better than a eommon thi-f. 1 have ordered hin never ng rin to net foot in my houte. and my friend, the Marfuu e orauHr, nat put mm under tie turvrt't'tnee oj ttte police t nm particularly happy lo learn that Mrs. L. is restored to her usual spirits, and trust has no hard ihou-'ht against mo for a step which, under the circumstances, duty nniiged me to take. I set great value upon her good opinion, and I beg lhat she will be assured that my feelings towards her and yourself are the same as before thii calumny was poured into my enrs." " it WlUKLIt r , JR. This rotraction was also sent to the State Department. and with tt, without much pains, I presiimo, one of your clerks could find acopyof a despatch to me from Mr. Buchiimn, then Secretary of State, exempting me from till charges of ollrcial misconduct. lo tthnw that Mr. WieklitF's charges asniust ma hail nothing to do with my recall, I reprint the folowing noie, wuicii tie wrote alter I was recalled! Turin, Nov. 14, 1817. Sir: In reply to your letter of the lilth ult-. inuui- ring of me whether you have beeu reculled at the in stance of this government, have to state, lhat is a point upon wnictl nave no knowledae, and am, therefore. unable to give you any information. The despatches of ,ir. nuctiaoan simply inform meol the nomination ot I Mr. John M. Ptierson, of Virginia, in your place, and transmit his commission for (he purpose of obtaining un exequatur. R. W1CKLIFF, Jr. This I deem sufficient for my vindication just now. . The man yoti have quoted proves that your ot gins nre mistaken. Your organs accuse mo of hanging around Concoul several days, nml iuiporinr ing with character-1 istic ell'iotilery the President elect for nfhVo. Gnnernl Pierce knows that this is false. I wont to Concord in I the middlo of February, lor one purpose only. I saw General Pierce, and told him tint 1 was the American correspondent of Ibe London Times, and that I ib-siied to know the names of ihe members of his Cabinet in advance of public information. I was kindly received, and my business was dono in less itmti three minuted, when I withdrew, to t ike the down train to Boston. At General Price's request, however, I remained, be-cause he said he wished to converse with mo; od nt live o'clock, by his own appointment, he cnlh il on me, took me to his private mom, and wo remained sever d hours together; but neither thou nor subsequently did I ever say one word lo General Pierce about an (dike for myself. What tho public h s hitherto known about this interview never went from me. 1 took the first train the next morning for Boston, where, in consequence of something General Pierce had said, I called mi Caleb Cashing. Ho was out. I wrote him a no'o to the licet thai, having just cnraj from Concord, I wanted to nee htm that 1 hid good reasons for believing that bo would not only go into the C ibinet, but bo the ruling spirit of it that, us Ihe correspondent of Ihe London Times, f wUhod to be exact in all my statements, and I wished he would refer mo to any authentic sketch ot Ins lite in print. Ihe loilowiug reply I have: Bostom, Feb. If), lft.rl. Mr Dts.it Sin : I have received your friendly letter of the 17th, but the hook did not come to hand; notwithstanding which my obligations to you are not j A PRECIOUS DOCUMENT. No paper has beeu prepared and sent forth by the preseut adminutratiou that so fully sets forth the principles of the men now in power, as the famous letter of Secretary Gutukie to the Collector at New York. Our readers are awure of the quarrel that ii going on between the Hards nnd theMuf'a of that State. Marct belongs to (he Softs, and tho policy of tho administration' ha been to buy up the old Barnburners and Buffalo pint form men, by giving them office. This ha arrayed Ihe old lino Democracy against lh- President aDd his cabinet. Collector Bnossos is ono of tho Hards, and in his appointments ho has rtmcmbereri his friends. This has been a matter of complaint on the part of the Softs, and they havo carried their grievances to Washington. The subject of the distribution of tho spoils has been gravely discussed in cabinet council, and llie President ha formally iiitdnicted the Secretary of the treasury to say to Ihe Collector of New lork, that he must appoint a portion of I'aniburners to ihe subordi nate posts about the Custom House. Think of this, reader. The President ond cabinet of this great Nation, leaving the importnnt atlairs, thut should ctigngo Iheir attention, and descending to the paltry business of directing who should bo appointed weighrrs and dmy- men nt u Custom House. Wo do not know how oibeis may regard this letter, but it seems to us to be getting lower depth than has ever before been reached. It seems to bo designed (o force H no tort to resign. How ho can consent to bo dictated to, in this way, in the selection of his subordinates, and retain his self-respect, i-r a question lhat puzzles honest men. fiie following ts the letter, and we put it nn rocord, as one id" tho signs of tho times : Washington, Oct. 3, 1853. IEn Si rt: Since the converse' ion we had upon the subject of ihe unfortunate div ision in the Democratic party in New York, I feel more convinced that ibe organization cannot fail to eii'Iaog-T (he success ol tho principles of i h party thore, and to prove injurious elsewhere. But Ihe ep iraiioii is i ft'-ct( d. A conviction has forced itself upon my niii.d. lhat, by I), rno-crats pledged to each o'her upon a common platform nf principles, the division could and ought lo have neen prevented. You aro aware tint the principles of the Baltimore convention, and the polit y in-fieaN-d in the inaugural address, tho president and bis constitutional advisers stand pledged to before llie world. They have been and nre united ns one man upon tboso principb s at;d that policy, and h id reason to believe that nil gentle men wtio consented lo accept titfii o under Ihe administration, stood pledged to the same principles and policy. As ihe president tinderstandN tho principle avowed as the platform of the parly nt Baltimore, all Democrats who joined in upholding nnd carrying out the same, were entitled to be recognized us worthy of the confidence ot ttie united party, and consequently etegi-ble lo official staliou. That all could not ebMin office was manifest, and that the distribution could not b exactly amongst the difnareht sections of the party wa equally certain. Yet the distribution was intended to bo so made as to give no just cause of complaint to nny ono section, and It ia believed that this iu'emion Ins been curried nut, not uuly by tho president himcelf, but by most of his appointees, in respect to the offices under the latter. It ha so happened that yur appointmenls have been very gem-rally made from that portion of the party to which yon adhere. This you thought best calculated to secure union nnd harmony. That desirable object lias failed lo hei.btained. and the other portion ol the party feel thai they have not been fullyre-cognix-d by you, and, as things now stand, may not do justice to your motives. I call your attention to thii nihject, and to the fact that the I'rcnUent and hit Cabinet teiti entire unanimity recognize thit pot twn of the party at Democratt itittine'ly avawwir and firmly maintaining the prvictplet of the HnUimort platform, and entitled to be re-eiemzed hy appointment lo official ttnlioni in yiur depart ment. Allow me to oxprea ihe cxpuciation that you will so recognize them in Ihe only wny thut will curry conviction with it. 1 have not hitherto deemed it necessary to make nny particular inquiry tu lo ihe section of the Democratic parly to which persons nominated for positions in the custom house, nt New York, belong prior to tho reunion of iho party in 18l! which re-union was sup posed lo have been thoroughly cemented in the grand ondt triumphant contest in 18)2. But as the present excited state of feeling among politicil friends who acted together iu 18.VJ, and who now stttnd unequivocally upon ihe same platform of principles in New York, is sugjtestivo of a discrimination of which the ad.niiiistrati in will not approve. I snail send a copy uf this letter to Iho Naval Officer nnd the Surveyor of the Port, in oiler that there may be no misapprehension as to the policy which tho President will require tobe pursued. I am, very respectfully, JAMES GUTHRIE. G. C. Bkomsok, Eny, Collector, N. Y. Vkrt Important Mchcw. Intelliokkck Otto or tiosxs tiio if-y. nimiict H.Cox. ot Brooklyn, has the less. I fully agree with yon as tu tho patriotic purposes and brilliant prospects with which General Pierce enters on the Presidency. If there should be occasion for It, I will send you the data f"r which you ask, and for the suggestion of wh ch I nm highly indebted lo you. I starlet, as you may perhaps know, from the same point, so far as re.-girds education, atmosphere and mentil culture, with Mr. BvcreM and Mr. Bancroft. Th"ir lives have been of h moro learned nml meditative cast than mine, and mine of a moro adventurous and active complexion than thiri. In the details of each, correspondences nnd contrasts occur, which may facilitate what you propose in suggesiivem-ss to the mind of Englishmen. Meanwhile, 1 am very iruiy yours, C. CUSHING. C.
