yATUItlli SCIENCES.
mrthlna Abnt the Nfw Arndenir I be
Kreclcd at Nineteenth and Race HtreetH.
To-daj, after the summer rwess, tne Academy of
Nataral Sciences reopens. The Hall on South
Rroad street has been cleaned and renovated : nil the
ItallerlM and cane wear a bright and Inviting ap
pearance, due to the broom and the brush, but noth
ta more bus been done. Neither an alteration
r an Improvement has been made, nor has the col
lection of epeoluieng been Increased All this for an
bvlous reason. Disappointed In securing a site for
a bonding on Tenn square, the Academy has not
fainted in heart, but determined to erect a new
dtltee on the lot previously purchased at the south
west corner of Nineteenth and Race streets. The
jrronnd will be broken either lit the latter portion of
Ue present fall or during next spring, whichever
date Is selected, the purpose Is to push the project to
completion, and consequently any money now ex
pended on the old place would be but wasted.
The drawings for the new academy, upon which
Mr, J. II. Wtudrum Is now engaged, wld be finished
by the 20th Instant. The proposed structure will
have a frontage of !to feet on Kace street, and S0
lect on Nineteenth street. It will afford three times
Iho accommodation of the present building on
It road street. It will have a basement, and rise to
the height of two stories above. The lower Htory, to
le circled by one gallery, will serve as the Minify of
the institution; the upper, to be circled by two gal
erles, will lie the museum. The library will no
SO by 134 feet. Tho space below the gallery
will be divided Into fifteen or twenty small rooms for
the purpose of study, tho remainder of the ground
floor being occupied by apartments for; artists and
the curators, and rooms for the society's publica
tions. There will also be a printing oitlce and book
bindery ou this floor, together with every appliance
for study. As mentioned, the second floor, with Its
iralleries, will hold the museum. It will be excellently
well lighted by tall windows reaching from the lloor
to the celling up past all the galleries without a
break, of these w indows there will be forty.
Complete and spacious, however, as tho new
structure will lie, it Is only designed to serve as a
wing to tho main building to be erected at some
futnre time, when the needs and the resources of the
nocicty will warrant the undertaking. A far mmile
of It will be built, when, the curators themselves
don't know, at the corner of Cnerry street and Nine
teenth, lletweeu these two will rise the main edi
fice, which we can well believe will be no shame to
the architecture of the city when llnlHhed.
As matter of information, the Academy will par
ticipate In the celebration of the centennial anniver
sary of Humboldt's death, to tic held In this city on
(be I :n li Riid nth inst. The oermnns of the city, on
the 13th, will lay the corner stone of a monument to
this great man in Kairmount 1'ark, upon the spot
formerly selected for the Washington monument,
tin the evening or the 14th there will be a celebration
tn Musical Fund Hull. In which the members or the
Academy will Join. An oration will be delivered In
ticrimiD, and another In English by II. C. Wood, Jr.,
Professor of Hotnny In the 1'nlverstty of Pennsyl
vania. A mighty orchestra will aln be present.

delightful excursions around New York bay and up
tho Hudson river takes place, the party leaving Wat

a special train awaits the returning pleasure-seekers

regard to the late amnesty:
'"To-day my friends inform mc that a sponge

Pope DcliHbled.
An undertaking highly interesting to a'chico
logists is about to be commenced with the sanc
tion of his Holiness, being the clearance of the
ancient monumental facade of the Marcian
Aqueduct from the media val fortillciitious and
eupcrstructures of the Porta San J.oren.o.
The present Pope's predecessor, Gregory XVI,
authorized a similar operation at lite roria .iag

memory of the wealthy baker, Vergillus Kury
aces, and his wife u monument decorated with
portrait statues and bassl-relicvi illustrative of
the occupation ot the defunct.
Pio Nouo is delighted at the continued suc
cess of the excavations at (lie Emporium. The
marbles already extracted from that ancient
wharf are valued at:i.OUO,(XX)fnincs; and as Baron
Vlscontl predicts tha' iho depot will bo found to
extend down the lclt bank ot the Tiber, from the
Avcutlne to the Church of iSt. Paul e.rlrn mtirox,
the supply may be considered almost inexhausti
ble. Last week si vlccu great masses were got
out, one being of rose-colored or'ental alabaster
of great value, unother of pavonazzetto, and
several of giallo tmiico. The Emporium lias
supplied everything that the restoration of
Agrippa's Pantheon required, and the same ma
terials are being employed In the restoration ami
embellishment of twenty-one churches In Home.
Tire Pope has also sent presents of marble to va
rious churches in dillcront parts of Europe, and
has promised ArchbWiop Ahmniug an assort
ment of t he most precious kinds for tho enrich
ment of the future Ko'iiau Catholic Cathedral ol
London. Tlio Prussian Government has re
turned thanks for iho munlllecuco of his
Holiness' gilt to the Cathedral of Aix-ln-Chapelle.
(Switzerland will not ho forgotten
iu the dispensation of these- iong-liidiien
treasures. Only two columns of African
marble of size and importance were hitherto
visible in Koine, at tlio entry of tho portico of
Bt. Peter's. Tho Emporium has furnished fif
teen others, of which the largest has been des
tined to bo the commemorative monnmentof the
Council on tho Janlculum. Thirteen pieces of
the precious murrhir, for which the ancient Ro
mans paid fabulous prices, have also been dis
covered. The Belvedere court-yard in tho Va
tican is now the principal depot of these marble
treasures, which are arranged there under the
Pope's Immediate Inspection. Last week his
Holiness witnessed the arrival of an enormous
block of African, dragged from tho Tiber bank
to his palace by twenty 6haggy black buffaloes.
An Extraordinary Anerdoie about Louis Napo
leon. The Rnhit ruhlic, of Lyons, has just published
a most extraordinary anecdote, for the truth of
which it vouches with great determination.
During the sojourn of Louis Napoleon In Ame
rica he became very intimate with a family
whose real name the ,vafuf Public disguises
under the pseudonym of Edwards, derived
from tho Christian name of its head. The
friendship the Edwardses felt for tho Prince
wns unvarying, and his feelings towards them
when he became Emperor were ns con
stant as they had lieen when he was
an exile. In 1S59 Mr. Edwards came to France
to felicitate bis friend on his Italian victories,
and was received by the Emperor with much
warmth. The Interview was long and private;
Mr. Edwards, however, made no secret of what
pascd between them, and repeated to several
of his friends the following words of tho Em
peror. The Prince Imperial has only just re
covered from a serious illness, and his Majesty,
still under the Impression of his past fears, said
to his old friend, l-lf I had thcjinlsfortune to
lose my son, and all hope, for nu heir in a direct
line were denied me, I should have put into exe
cution an extraordinary project.
I should have given to France the privileges, the
liberties the mnuners of a republic. I should
have wished to be looked tipoa as the first
citizen of my country, after having given
back to it those liberties which political
iiccei-sity has obliged me to take away for a
time: in a word, I should have rendered im
possible niter my death any other form of
government than that of a republic
the only one which, wisely understood, and
applied with energy, can suit France. But I
must ive up this dream; a father of a family
must not burn his son's roof over his head, and
I must try and conciliate two elements which
now seem utterly inalienable the Empire and
liberty. My heirs shall reign, and France shall
only lose a mime the name of republic. She
will soon have, I hope, all the liberal institutions
that I have so much admired In the New World."
Such words as these, at such a time,
certainly took Mr. Edwards by surprise, and
created much astonishment and incredulity in
the minds of those to whom he communicated
them.
OBITUARY.
Fi-nnrla I. A. lloole.
Francis I. A. Boole, so well known some years
since as a prominent Democratic politican iu
New York city, died at half-past 8 o clock yester
day morning, at the Luuatie Asylum In Utiea, of
softening of the brain.
Mr. Boole's advent ns an oflice-holder was as
Councilman for a district located in the Eleventh
ward. He was subsequently elected Alderman
from the same ward, and afterwards held the
position of City Inspector. While holding this
last position he was nominated by Tammany
Hail as a candidate for Maj'or. Hie Republi
cans nominated Orison Blunt, while the
Union Democracy and the Mclveono portion of
that party nominated C. Godfrey Gunthcr. The
contest was one of the most exciting ever expe
rienced in a Mayoralty election in this city. Al
most every one except the select few who were
well posted on the inuer workings of the wire
pidlers expected that Mr. Boole would be
elected by a large majority, and that Mr.
Gunthcr would be the last man in tho race,
and very large amounts, at great odds, were
bet by many of these sanguine individuals,
and won by thoso who were "posted,"
and who were morally certain that Gun
tber was to be the winning man. When the
votes vero counted they stood about as fol
lows: Gunthcr, 28,(KK); Blunt, i4,000; and Boole,
10. 000. Although Mr. Boole was nominated by
Tammany he was also ostensibly supported by
Mozart: but ho received very little if, any, sup
port from Mozart, Mr. Fernando Wood having
refused to speak at the meeting called to ratify
his nomination, and a report having gained
ground among the Celtic followers of Mozart
Hall that Mr. Boole wus an Englishman,
and held the same views on the negro ques
tion as his brother, Uev. Mr. Boole, a, noted
abolitionist. On the other baud the Ger
mans, en ?iirt.w, rallied to the support
of Gunthcr, who also doubtless received a large
Mozart vote and a small por .on of the Tam
many, nnd thus is explained the reasons why
Mr. Gunthcr did what no other Democrat but
Mr. Fernando Wood ever did, beat the Tam
mauv candidate for Mayor. Shortly afterwards
Mr. lSoole's popularity had run down almost to
zero, and he was legislated out of oflico as City
Inspector, the Board of Health, which was then
created, having assumed the duties and powers
appertaining to the City Inspector's department.
Mr. Booh?, from the effects of disappointed
ambition and dissipated habits soon became nu
60und In mind, and was placed iu the Blooming
dale Lunatic Asylum, where ho remained until
recently, when he was sent to the asylum iu
I'tica. Mr. Boole leaves a wife and two grown
up daughters. Mr. Charles E. Locw, County
Clerk, and Mrs. Boole started for L'tica yester
day, and will bring on tho remains of Mr. Boole,
to this city to-day. Mr. George W. Kootue, the
keeper ot the City Hall, has received instruc
tions to display the flairs at. half-mast from tbe
City Hall to-day X. Y. Un-aM ' of to-datj.

The following extracts show the state of the NV'.v
York money market yesterday:
From the .V. '. lieraid,
"The great feature or interest iu Wall street to.
day was the speculative movement in gold, the price
or which suddenly rose over two per cent, amid
scenes or excitement which have seldom h-eu wit
nessed iu the Gold Hoom since the wild speculation
ol the war days. The earliest sales were at 133 '.:
13.1',, but all that was ollereo at. these llgures was
quietly absorbed, and the price at noon was ilrm
at l;l':i!.. A few minutes alter 12 o'clock
the award of the Government gold was an
nounced lit tho Sub-Treasury. The whole
amount was taken at i:;:tf.t; by one ilrm, whose
name has long been identified with the clique
movements of the street. The eilect on the crowd
was electrical. Thcv dashed out of the Treasury nud
down the Hleps into Wall street, and ran across ut
tho ton of their speed to the, Gold Itoom. The news
spread like wildfire. I p went gold ti) lXiV- The
'bears' sold 11 buck to VS.W,. The clique brokers
took all I hut was oilored aud bid fur more, litck
went the price to i:a ',. hikI ihenoe it rose, point by
point, sometimes Hlowlv, sometimes quickly, but
unreistinglv, to lit.'.1,. The consternation of tin;
'shorts' was terrible. The bid at the sub-Treasury
was regarded as an old trick of the cliques to un
load upon the market. Heretofore the latter had
been 'taking' up gold, but now they bucked up
their assertions that the premium was destined to
advance by purchasing. At, least leu millions wus
bought by them to-dav. The street was fiistrueted
by reports that they would lock up gold to-morrow
In furtherance or the 'corner' on the 'shorts,'
whose number Is legion. Indeed the market is iu a
state which leaves it at the mercy of the 'bulls.'
In the general situation there is nothing to cause
t he advance. It is true the Paris Bourse is reported
heavy, and rentes declined. There is nothing posi
tive. All is problematical. Napoleon's health is
doubtless not the t est, but nothing Is definitely
known concerning It. Should he suddenly die there
would be a panic abroad, and gold would go up
Instantly. The onlv thluir certain is that gold in the
winter must fall before the natural influences of
a heavy exportation of cotton and breaiisiiuis,
Now the quills' have all the gold, or nearly all of It,
Tho bunkH lust Saturday held less than twenty mil
lions. This twentv millions will. It is leared, dwin
die to ten next week, when the Comptroller demands
the statement of the banks. The 'beats' have sold
gold which they must borrow. Hence the panicky
iceiing among them this afternoon, when as uign us
1-82 to 1-ltl was bid tor the use of gold to-morrow.
J he transactions to-dav were on -an enormom
scale, and It is thought by cxperurwho viewed th
nutrket that the clearances to-inoinuw will approxi
mate two hundred millions.
