Chailsi Brown, of the House of valuable and interesting public documents; fur which they will please to accept our thanks. * * The Treaty of Peace* The.spbjoct of the Treaty with Mexico, now un der consideration at the Scat of Government, is one which excites the attention of all; and it is, at the same time, one, about which there must necessarily be.a great degree of ignorance, until the nature of the propositions embraced in it, shall be officially communicated to the country. From the corres pondence of the New York Globe, however, we Idaro, that one of the provisions embraced in it is, lhat We are to pay to Moxico the sum of fifteen mil lions ofdollais—not so much, probably, io the way of indemnity, as to enable that government lo carry oat the treaty on their part. The other stipulations are said to be, that Mexico relinquishes all claim to the territory east of the Rio Grande, securing to us that; river as our buandary, and its uninterrupted navigation ; and transferring to us the whole State of New Mexico, and nearly all of Upper California, which;embraces the beautiful and valuable bay of Ran Francisco—-the whole territory thus coming into our possession, embracing more than six hun- '*B*l fifty thousand square miles, or about 336,000,000 acres of land. 'We are-not disposed, while so much in the dark in relation the entire facts, w enter into any specu lationupon the subject of this treaty. We prefer to wait, until wc shall see the draft itse f, and the cor respondence which led to it. Wc confess, however that, so far as there seems to have been any thing like a correct statement ofits provisions, they are not exactly such as we cuuld have wished There seems to have bcea too much conceded lo the Mexi can government. We know that our government hi* always acted, in its intercourse with forcigu pow* ere* upon the principles of both justice and generos ityrrriitit always exacting strict justice from others while extending it to others with scrupulous exact ness. We can afford to act upon the principle of generosity with Mexico; but whether the observance ofthis principle with her, will benefit us, either in that country, or among her appologists in this, is a mat ter which we are greatly disposed to doubt. Indeed, wfeafe Inclined to believe, that, if the terms of the treaty arc as stated, the Federal parly, though they maybe clamorous in their pretended outcry for peace, will use it as one of their principal grounds, on which to oppose tlio Democratic party, in the ap proaching presidential election. We believe the Peop'e are disposed to exact the full measure of jus tice from Mexico; and that they will Sustain the ad ministration in any course which may be deemed necessary, in o&acrto obtain it.

Our report of .the Proceedings of" the Meeting on Saturday, waiomitted yesterday, by tome accident. We give it this morning, as it was in type. There may be some who will find instruction or amuse ment in it. The Project is sow dose ,for, and we presume the city will relapse into its usual quiet. We must say that we think, after consideration, that Mr. Alden has been troated badly —not by the enemies of the Inns of Court, but- -by those who promised him their aid, and then flunked out when they found that popular feeling had been arrayed against it. But one of the many on the committee, and none of the officers of the origi nal meeting, attended on Saturday. Ahusevchts of Saturdays —The meeting to consider the Project of an “ Tons of Court ” insti tution nad edifice, was held on Saturday, as most of our readers know. They may also know the result—-for the deliberations ended in a result, sure ly. The Common Picas room was crowded at an early hour; the People, judging from appearances, were there; together with a fow Lawyer* and others. We were not present at the organization- When we entered, we saw Mr. Dcnlop. in the chair. We were informed that Hon. Wm. Wilkin* had declined taking any further part in the matter; as also, had the Vice Presidents, and the majority of the com mittee who assented to the Report. Mr. Dunlop, on taking the chair, addressed a few words to the meeting, on the subject of the Project, but he was non-committal. He might support it if' the people were in favor of it. We believe Mr. D. is opposed to it. We would expect as much from a man of his standing in the profession. Mr. Alden appeared, and after lamenting, that he had been abandoned by those who seemed to bo his friends, moved that the Project and Resolutions be' withdrawn. The motion was seconded and put to: the meeting. A few persons voted aye, ” but the' multitude were cot to bo deprived of their fun in that manner. The meeting refused to permit the; committee to withdraw their Report. ti was then read. The Chair was abou l to take the vote upon their adoption, when Mr. Ferral ap !. peared, and announced himself opposed to the whole; scheme. He thought it an attempt to concentrate! wealth, learning and power in the hands of the few j He did not question the good intentions of the pro*! jectnrs, but denounced the* Project as dangerous.—> It was one of the many plans fur budding up on Aristocracy at the expense of the toiling multitudes; He referred to the charier of the United States liitnk, by the Legulature of this State—-H was for the education of the people? So were all schemes of injustice and wrong urged upon the People; oa the ground* of the great benefit? that they would derive from them. Such, pretensions w ere necessary in order to gain public support. The spcci h t upon the whole, was »inol'j»*cM«»na!ilc. Ihe Rev. Hugh Kirkland nett addressed tho mcti.r.g/ We were at too greats distance to catch the thread «f hi* discourse essclU ; but wo gath ered, from the few word* we did hear, that be in truded to be severe upon “ Infidel* ■' ar.d also upon the *• Inn* of Court.” A* we base before 3nnonu* ced, this gentleman has suffered tnartrvdom in the cause of Truth; he fled from RutSor to save his precious Irii*. He Ims written tcferal works—the roost important of which is y t n MS., an answer to C*ih«»un, in which the South C-ir'i’uuan “j* i:Vin r pine’y floored.*’ We are not f.»«i;!iar vnh the pi“ci-.r theological stews of Mr. K. Wo think be ♦reYo-g* *.» the School of Kant—judging from hw •perch on Saturday we readily decide that hu is ouc of the Can't philosophers. Ilis words lire d'csmy, hia ideas muddy—which is all that is nd ccssarv in Mr. Kirkland’s speech was received with thunder* of applause froth both parties; and if we m stake m»t both parties laughed some, W'lico he took his scat, the audience yelled— *■ Itjikcr,” “ Barker,” “ Stevenson,'* “ Barker j* Mr. Joseph Barker appeared and delivered his speech tn hit usual style—but did not rout hh documents. Joe showed that he had n knowledge of Scripture, for ho quoted largely. He was np poi-ed to the “ Inns of Court,** and also the “ Courts «i Inn.” He hoittod dm lawyers some. Minutes «»f In* speech might be intctcstoig to many—we kut»w .tome who fed keenly on tl.e subject —but We h ive uouc. It cannot be denied (hat Joe has‘a longue,and a long »nt. . Itrv. Alexander Stcven&c-n ml took the stand. Ho came prepared. Nuldy and eloquently did the gentleman defend the Project of Mr. Alden. He was “in favor of knowledge.” In simile, the Doc tor can’t bo beat- That about tho marble, was good, as well as original. It struck tho audience with gical force, and made miiny friends for the Inns of Court. The story about “the man lie once heard about,” was in tlniej hud a great effect in changing the views of many persona. The speak er consumed some time in making his which, w ere in the main directed to an exposition of what “ knowledge” i«, and the best means 'of rnnlizingiliC benefits. The Project found in Aleck an able defender, and he was the only one who had courage to come boldly out in its favor. After the speeches were made, the vote was ta ken on the adoption of the Report and Resolutions, when the Chair announced that lire nose had it. ; The meeting then adjourned amid shouts of laughter. \ —We have been informed that Mr. Alden hits an idea that •< the Post has a spite at him.” *Wc assure him that he is entirely wrong. He never injured us, aud wo have had no desire to injure him. We opposod the Project—not the projector. The llurolars.— Officers Hague and Fox, of die Independent Police, arrived on Sunday night, from Madison, having in their possession, tho three burg lars, Robinson, Cook and Lutz.

The trial of the case' will be amusing enough. frlTTho wind must have been on a spree yester day, it was so very high. A window shutter, from the second story of a Wood street house, was blown about for awhile, and then set down upon -a man’s head. Not much injury done to brains. The dust got into people’s cyoa very niuch—what-a fine day it would have been for the Whig County Convention. The accidents of yesterday wero quite numerous. < feSTThe aix young gentlemen who, some time since, advertised for a boarding house, “ with the pantry privileges,” failed to find such a house. We were somewhat astonished to discover them at the Athencum Saloon table yesterday. We judge from this that they have come to the conclusion that it is best to be decent. “ Thf.

S. 9PKMCIE Oh! where i* the mother that watchf d o’er mv childhood, Near the bright silver stream and the green-spreading wild wood. * Where with Smiles and caresses she hushed each emo- . lion; -- And calmed every wave of life’s troubled ocean. When the star* of night their vigil* were keeping, And other* were lost in forgetfulness •deeping. Then the word* which she spoke of afretion and love, Were like whispers of angel* soft from above. I see the Joy’d cottage, and the flowers bv the fountain. The. hawthorn and wild rose that grew'on the mountain, And the *paj where I wandered in the shade of the dell— Bui where is ray mother ! Oh soy can you tell ? And oft T remember when I ran in the race, To rnteh the gay butterfly stwirt mi the rha.se, Or sal injrscll down by a clear purling stream, To luughat the glajice of its silvery beam. Rii» post and forever ore yomb’s sonny hours; Farewell to my home, and the fragrance of flowers, 1 have left them,—in spring they blossom still there— But where i* my mother? my mother, oh where! She has gone to her home of pence nnd of rest. Where the rittsonfd shall meet in flu; Jnni) of the blest; She wears aWighi crown of glory al«>ve. Anti drinks from the in light and of loye.
