Every effort to prove that tho Supreme Court, in the Dre<l Scott ease, took groundlnfaror of the inviolability of'slavery to - the Territories, and asserted, (to iise Ur. Buchanan’s original language, since modified by Attorney General Black, and so fearfully exposed by Judge Douglas and Revsrdy John jon,) that slavory existed in the Territories by Virtue of the Constitution, is really nothing moro than a provocation to tho opponents of slavery ill. the free States to extort a different opinion, when the Court, In tho course of time, shall'be recon structed by the vacancies which death must create upon the bench.' There Is no ibiiy more fetal then theref bringing tho deolriene of our judicial tri bunals Into polities. It makes the judges timid add Vacillating.

On tho stage, at tho baok was a triumphal aroh surmount ed with a star-orowned lyre. Over theoentreof this aroh was suspended a ourtain. On either side were flags with the German arms—hlaok, red. and yellow—together wlth bsnners bearing, our .own. Immortal stars and stripes. The stage was filled with vooalltts, from the different Gorman musical societies— the ladies occupying the front soata, and chiefly robed in white—the centre being rosorved for tho instrumental performers, of tho Germania Orohestra, with a sprinkling of amateurs. Tho 300 ladles and gentlemen' who sang belonged to tho following sooletlos: Arboiter-Bundes-Gesang-Yoroln, Arion, Jauger Mmnnerohor, Liedertafel, Lledortafol dor Dents ohon Frslon Gomeinde, Orpheus, Saengnrbund, So olaler Lledorkrans, and Tumor-Saenger-Chor, with membors of the Oarollia. The first piece on the programme was Von We ber’s Jubilee Overture, whloh, as he wrote It for an English audience* concludes with “ God Save the Queqn,” It was finely played—as, Indeed, was every place during the evening. Next an Oration, by Gustavus Romsk, Esq. Ip well-pronounced German, upon tho Writings, Genius, and Life of Schiller. Mr. Kemak suo; seeded In keeping' the attention of the audience thoroughly fixed during a%hour—a hasardous ex periment, considering that probably a moioty of his andttors did not understand German. He traced Schiller’s career, through his Bueoessire works—dramatic, historical, and lyrical—charac terising the beauties of eaoh, atfd the purpose too. It was a truly eloquent address, and frequently interrupted by applause. This was followed by Beethoven’s Overture to ■‘Egmont,’’ niter which the Kev. Dr. W. H. Fur ness delivered the English Oration upon Schiller— dwelling largely on tho development of German Literature, from tho period of his birth, end espe cially notloing the adoption of Shakspearo by the great German nation. This Discourse occupied fifty minutes, and many passages may be fairly said to have “ brought down the honso.” Tho second part commenoed with the orchestral performance of Richard Wagner’s Introdnotion to “Lohengrin.” This wo think, as far as instru mentation wont, tho gem of tho evening. Wagner Is one of the very best of living German compo sers, who has already (though only 46 years old) far more then an European reputation. Uls first opera “ Rienzi” showed his power, but he put it more fully out in his Overture to Goetho’s' 1 Faust,” some fourteen years ego. His opora of “ Lohon grin.” tho introduction to whloh we hoard last night, was written and performed in Switzerland in 1862, and with his “ Tanhaouser,” (composed i n 1845,) suggested themes for zomo of Listz’s most popular piano-forte variations. Wagnor is a poet and oritio, as well as composer, and writes his own librettos. Rio is undo to the oelebrated vocalist, Joanna Wagnor. . Next followed a poem, bv Ferdinand Freiligrath, the greatest of German living lyrio poets, written expressly for this occasion, and road, with no small emphasis, by Dr. G. Kellner. In tho course of its reeitation, the slight tinkle of a boll was heard—tho ourtain foil from before tho aroh at tho baok of the stage—and showed a full length statne of Schiller, finely modelled by Mr. Edward Stanoh, of this olty—tho same eoulptor, wo understand, who made the marble statne of Time, in the front of Messrs. Beiloy’s splendid establishment noxt to Levy's In Chestnut Street..' The statue of Schiller, though striking, was seen under a double disadvantage. Tho arch was too narrow to allow its fine proportions to be fully distinguished, and the head of tho figure was awkwardly shortened by a green wreath or crown boing plaeed upon it. This real crown was far too literal (—something, in Schiller’s caso, might have been left to tho spectator’s imagination. In Stuttgardt, the capital of Sohiller’s own ooun try, and only a few miles from Marbaeh, his blrth-plaoe, a great celebration was to havo boon hold jrostorday—but his statue has long boon one of tho most prized monuments in that city. At Berlin, the oast of a colossal statue of the poet was to be unveiled on the Gensdarmes Market—one of tho finest squares In that noble city, and tho site where the-as yet unfinished bronze figure of the poet will be placed. Lastly, SohiUer's “Song of the Boll,” of which Dr. Faroes has made a fine translation, was per formed by the members of the Musioal Sooiotles— tho following vocalists taking the solo-parta: Ma dame Johann Sen, Mrs. Schiller, Miss Hahn, Mr. Jacob, Mr. Arthur Voelden, Mr. Tcuftl,' and Mr. Zoltz.: The marie was the fine arrangement by Romberg. The excontion was exoellent* Madame Jqhannsen and Mr. Jacob mors particularly distin guishing themselves. Mr. Carl Sentx officiated, with his usual ability and suooess, as musical leader and direotor. The peribnnancee, which eommenced at seven, oondudod at eievon. Curtis on Dickenp* The fourth lecture «f the course before tho Peo ple’s Literary Institute was delivered at Concert Hall last evening by George W. CnrUi, Esq., his subject being “Charles Dickons.” The effiefont management of this society, the popularity of the lecturer, and still more, the oelobrlty of his subject, combined to attract one of the finest audiences of the season, notwithstanding tho numerous othor attractions of the evening. He appeared upon the platform and commenced his lecture at ten minutes before 8 o'clock, and con cluded at ten minutes after nine. Ho opened by saying that it was impossible not to see, in a survoy of any literary epoob, that it bad a oonnectod character and meaning. Thus the Frenoh Revolution was only a symptom of the age, which had been foreshadowed in the writings of Voltaire and Rosseau. The literature of Ger many, which was said to be net yet ono hundred and fifty yean old, was characterised as the most democratic of any nation exoopt our own. In the literature of England, Dr. Johnson was selected as the representative of the last century. Walter Scott had followed him, and in his day had beon tho representative of the Tory element. Burns, Carlyle, and others, wore alio referred to in these pretatoiy remarks of the lecturer. True excel lenoe, said be, in this conueoUon, was not here ditary. Oliver Cromwell might bo a groat man, and Riohard a natural fool. As Burns had ox* pressed it— “ The rank is but the guinea stamp; , A man's & man for &' that.” The speaker continued to elaborate this prelude with eloquent glances at the ago and times of 6oott and his compeers, rounding his sentences with rare groee, and delivering himself with his usual ease and mellifluous accent. Soott was the last laureate of Feudalism, whloh was indicated in the character of Mb stories, and should not bo lost sight of in esti mating the signifio&nod of his genius. Lookliart’s touching pieture of the death-bed of Scott was hero introduced in brief, with capital effect. The inter regnum between Soott and Dickons next occupied the looturer's perhaps too elaborate attention. Certainly those who came to hear Dickens portrayed had roason to fear that tho expected feast was to bo reserved for tho dessert. Without coming to his theme; he continued that about tho year 1827 there had several articles appeared in the reviews which Winced & high order of talent, not only for their literary jnbrft but tbejr political ability. Their au thor was Oarlylp, and their character was de scribed. In 1835 a London reporter for a morning phronl- Ole had entered tho door of a publisher, who, having been pleased with pertain articles written over the nom de plum of“ Bo*," engaged him to eon tribute to a comparatively obscure publication. This reporter was young Charleß Pickens. At this Introduction the speaker gave vent to a rhapsody of almost idolatrous admiration for the subject of his theme, which plainly told that his task was ohosen for the love of it rather than otherwise. Feudalism, said he, had died In Htorature with Soott, and the humanity of English fiction hod been born with Dickens. Part of Hood's inimitable and heart-appealing ’’Seng of the Shirt,” and other quotations, wero introduced, and admirably read by the speaker, who designated them as the first echoes of tho humanity wbioh inspired tho poetry of Borns. The 11 Song of the Shirt” was sUli bolng sung in tho flotion of English literature. We could, for this reason, not read the writings of Dickens with out being made hotter for doing so. We did not read them for the mere purpose of whiling away an hour, or being amused—an aotor or mountebank could afford tin this; but not so was the influence of the creations of Dickens’ genius; It was some thing nobler and greater; it was something thaj moved the heart and touohod the life. It was this that gave Dickens his great power and popularity, Ip this he was like Jenny Lind, who had boon orltt olsed ias inferior to many others as a vooallst, bind 1 yet who, from the tool she infused into her per formances, had attained an unparalleled celebrity. No stories had ever been written which 1 bad taken the world re completely by storm as those of Dickens; every one of these was (n foot a great battery opened Upon rom* popular wrong, The several work? of his author were negt briefly, hut *bjy analysed. . True genius was characterised as 'always combined with great,good common sense. Sometimes, indeed, tho common.sense seemed so much to preponderate over tho genius as to ob 'route it, MjwM tUo oaso in tho ebaraotor of Wash ington. ... ' Dlokens' genuine abhorrence of religious Min ing-was next referred to, in whiqh the leoturer tookeoosxion again to let loose; his own battery upon ‘‘.white cravats,” with his aoeustomed satire upon the olass they designate, Dickens' writings were also exuberant with fun; his. characters were in this like tho pictures in P Until. . It was, perhaps, to his excessive humor that his feults, (f he had any, were attributable. Dickens was distinguished from other groat writers of fiction by his evident partiality to tho characters of his oip creation. In taking up the examination ,of Pith O'**! etforafiere more orttloaliy, the lecturer 1 evinced * perfect acquaintance with* all the orea tions o£ the great novelist, and shewed that ho had THE PRESS—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1859. well studied-bUtext before attempting to preach from it. f . Howeyer .portions of Dickens’ wrl* 1 tings might bof ltjyis' tnio thafchß had enriched English bjy Rio characters ho ha 4 oori* ' trlbnted to U, more than any other man besides Shakspearo. In'the future hiitoiy of EngUßi literaturo, Dlokene, ho thought, was, destined to figure as its Columbus. He did not honor the roost beef of Old England more than he lorod the humanity of Young England. And shall we, then, said ho, despair of tho world, when we seo the most Christian writer in U the most popular ? . The conclusion of tho lecture wasdevotod to Mr. Dickens’ visit to this country—bis three months’ ovation in Amorloa—whloh was at once so judi* oiously, so charitably, and withal so apparently justly handled, as really to’oonstituta the finest and most plausible apology for his “ Notes oh America” that has yet been givon. He next described Mr. Dlokens as he saw him In Boston on that occasion. We should, said ho, toot blame Mr. Dlokens for haying drank his ohampagno Instead of pouring it into his eyes, nor for eating his pudding, instead of stuffing it Into his ears t while among us. He had not long since read his American Notes, and was not surprised at what he read, coming as it did from the author of Pick-Wiok. Upon the whole, wo had, he thought, been too swift to con demn. For his patt, he could not oonneot crimina tion and revenge with such genial genius. Bis name was a kind of good-tiding Id the world of letters. His name it doubtless was whloh had at tracted the numerous audience beforo him, as If to hear some Christmas chant, and in Saying to them good-night, he felt like asking them to Sit their glasses, And with him, drink to the hoalth of Charles Dlokens, with the hope that he might lire as long as the yonngest among them, and be to the end of his life, engaged In contributing to & monthly something. The lecture was loudly applauded at the olose, as' H was also repeatedly during its delivery. Taken all in all, it may he rogarded as one of, if not tho finest of Mr. Curtis’ looturoa yet dolivored in Phi ladelphia. The Misses Heron Nata!i« Our readers need scarcely bo reminded that these young ladi.es, who are Philadelphians, and received their musicnl and gonoral education belt, give a Costume Concert, at the Academy of Mutfe, on Monday evening.

Public sentiment is pretty accurately gathered from tho toflib.ln whloh one hears allusion made to Mr. 8. in the cars, tho counting rooms, and the pnblio resorts of the people. Save and excepting here and there a by pochondnao-looking person with long beard, queer hat, and- any amount of turned-over shirt-oollsr, of the general judgment Is that Mr. 8. ‘is a visionary, an Impracticable extremist, bigoted and opinionated, always looking at the “ dtrk side” of things, and just the style of indi vidual to find his way and a homo in a lunatic asylum. .

Further, that within twenty days after the balloon had cleared the ground, she would be bodk on the same spot, ready to start on a voyage round the world; which moans, simply, that the trip across the A-tiantif) Is expected to be made in two or throe days, and the return voyage to bo piado by steamer.

It is to bo used only at night, being let dowq from the balloon with about a thousand feet of rope. The float itself, dipping Into the sea, will move with tho same velocity as the balloon. It is simply in tended, therefore, to maintain a given altitude, but I am not able to give definite explanations.

The Committee on Railroads presented a sup plement to an ordinance permitting the lleston ville Railroad Company to lay rails across the Fair mount bridge. The provisions of the ordinance, to which this was supplemental, were regarded by thebommlttee as very onerous. The supplement repeals the license fee, aud absolves the oompany from all obligation to keep the bridge In repair. The ordinance was, after a little debate, laid orer, and ordered to be printod. The Committee on Water presented an ordi nance, in which the City Solicitor was directed not to proceed in the fixing of liens for water-pipe f>a*t tbe property of numerous citizens on FranV ordroad, from Westmoreland street to Frank ford creek. Tbe reason assi led by tho committee for presenting this ordinance was, that the pipe was laid for tbe benefit of FrankfonLand not for the people living along that road. The bill was laid over and ordered to be printed. Two other resolutions from the Watering Com-* mittee, authorizing pipe to be laid on Twenty seventh and Mifflin streets, and asking a transfer of appropriation, were read and laid orer. A bill from Common Council authorising water pipe to bo laid on Tilden, Nineteenth, and other streets, was eoocurredtn.

Mr. O’Neill submitted a petition for a stand for market wagons on Twenty-first street, from Spruce to Race streets. Tho resolution confirming the plan of an iron bridge over tho Schuylkill, at Chestnut street, was vailed up. Mr. EMridga was opposed to tho resolution, as tho cost would be much more than another style of bridge eould be built for. Mr. Cattoll denied this assertion, and urged tbai some action should at once bo taken in (be matter, as tho subject had long been before them, and the people were anxious that something should be done. Tho estimated cost of this bridge is $370,000, in cluding material, labor, damages, approaches, and everything else. Auer some further debate the subject was post poned. The ordinance making an appropriation of $l,OOO towards the couitruction of a tunnel under the Heading Railroad, at its intersection with Rich mond street, was called up. Mr. Martin moved to amend that tho ordinance shall not take effect until the Becond and Third- Btrcot Passenger Railroad Company shall contri bute $lO,OOO towards tho work.
