' Mach lese feeling, id rej&iiou to the Scnp, was evident yesterday, than tbe day previous. Many ol our mechanic* and and mer chants still tako it at par for goods, and some give change, where a reasonable amount is purchased- The councils of thii|city are acting promptly in the matter, and the colpucib of Allegheny will meet this evening, and vdill doubtless take some action in the premises. Tbe greatest di Acuity m the whole matter, is the present mean' enience to which the commu nity is subjected, at It is abundantly safe to those who can afford to held it. The taxes of the two cities, and of the County, water reals, dec., will absorb it rapidly, and much of II will, no doubt, be exchanged for city bonds. Tbe charge of Judge Parrott, in the resurrection case, wbicb{ibe reader will find in another column, is an eloquent production, and does honor both to the head and beatl of ita author. It wfll be read by ail with pleasure and profit. We take this occasion to remark, that Judge Panful's course, oflale, as evinepd by hu charges and decisions, has been such as to commend him to*the thanks and esteem of the in* telligent portion of the community. His wise, just, firm, and conservative course has been of essential benefit alreacy, and we tfu*t will be felt in years to eome. An upright, firm, and judicious Judge, in the Court of Quarter Sessions, is truly, and we eay, emphatically, “u terror to evil doers,” and the influence of his decisions is widely felt. PußOlso Tit c Dewccoacy —We watch the pro gress of tbe &l»rtury, ia its arduous work of purg ing the Locofocb parly, m this county, from its “load of filth aad rubbish," with no little Interest, and we shall not fail to keep our readers well post ed op in the movemeuts intended to promote so desirable an eod. That paper, of yesterday, contains a communi cation pouring hot shot mto Uie Pan, and hitting hard in other quarters Weinke an extract. “ In the first place, a set of tenegades from all kinds of factions have crept in amongst us , they ore made rrc lusty* Icadrcf of the party, and they have led it into all sorts of extravagancies and inconsistencies. In the next place, the elements of Agrarianism.

This is plain talking, and hits right home. What • organ it refers to, it is not difficult to determine* but we would like it better if those engaged m this work of purification would speak rtght out, and when they mean the Post, say so. Howev er, wc claim no right even to advise in this mat ter, os it is no concern of the glorious Whig par ty.-*m whose fortunes, whether prosperous or adverse, it has been oor life long pride and pleas ure to share.—except in that, general sense of, viewing with satisfaction ihe improvement end purification of any party or assoaation- The writer, irom whom we take the above ex tract, has a very significant postscript, in which a deeply interesting question a propounded to the editor for solution. When he solves the problem we may tell our reader*. FOR CILTPORBI&. The St. Louis Republican of April 10, contain several items of interest in refiireace to the emi gration to California.

The increased number of boatnnow plying on the Missouri nver. has produced a great scarcity of pilots acquainted with the navigation of that stream, and good ones are almpAt impossible to be obtained. The most exorbitant wages are asked uy from $3OO to 450 for the trip to Sl Joseph oeeupyisg osually less thaa ten days.

Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gaxeue Wash tire row, April 14, 1849. The venerable editor of tbe Union comes out this morning with another doleful plaint. The grief - abOity of his being superceded, his conscience would not havopneked and spurred him on to act upon Ibis opinion. Another case is given. CoL Gwinn, formerly a member of Congress, and I be lieve the same man whom Geo. Jackson persisted in making and keeping Marshal of Mississippi, in defiance of the rejection of the Senate, wiLhal 1 may say. personally a very clever and popular man, has tor a number of yean held the place of Commissioner to superintend tbe building of the Custom House at New Orleans,* salary per annum. He wanted to go to California, and jail, about inaugnratioQ day he too discovered that the office was a sinecure, and ib.-ew it up. A Whig President having been chosen, then “honor pneks them on," to tell the truth, and if need be,shame the devil; but had Cass been elected, no one sup poses that their honor would have pneked them so closely as to have loosened their hold upon the dogs of the Treasury. The cabinet had a very long session to-day it is rumored that Mr. Lawrence, Collector of New York, has scat on an intimatioo that he means to resign, and that he desires to be relieved as quick* ly as possible- If the report be true, no doubt the rcabinet were engaged some time in conversing the claims and qualifications of the many different can didates. It is said, too, with much probability that the re cent disturbing and exciting news from Europe, foreshadowing so clearly the breaking out of a general war on that devoted Continent has engag ed the anxious deliberations of the government— We have nothing in particular to do with (heir quarrels except to provide for the protection of our commerce, and to cause a doe respect to be paid by all the conflicting parties lo our rights os neutrals in the coming strtfe. It is well known bow desperately these interests suffered in the wars which followed the French revolution. It is well to guard against such contingencies now. FROM NSW YORJt. Correspondence ot dir P.usourgh Gazette. Nsw Yoax, April 14. The week doses with little to make it remem bered, if' the Clay birth day celebration is left out of view. The events of the evening of the Titfa, illustrated the apt remark of oad of Pittsburgh's, most distmguiihed citizens, who, in welcoming the venerable Statesmaa to the “Iron City,' 1 said the city’s guest waited not until death had separated him from the world to have Come award him his proper meed of praise. He received it warm from the undivided heart of a whole nation. So, on bis hirthnight, the old fire was kindled, and the oldest* truest, and most devoted Whiga rivalled each olh* er in the desire to show bow warmly their hearts beat the old chieftain. It is a memorable fact that the birthdays of two Statesmen only are cele brated in the United Stales, that of Washington and Henry Clay. Their constant virtues have given them.a hold upon the hearts af the people that have filled to be secured by the achievements of all other men. The week closes with a better feeling m money matters, and borrowers have favors granted upon easier terms than one and a half per cent a month. An arrangement has been mane by the Secretary of the Treasury to anticipate the payment of anoth er million a/jthe Indemnity, due in June* The fifst draft has been paid, and the Sub-Treasu ry relieved of $334,000 to-day. Stocks have felt the impulse of speb an addition cf coin lo the curren cy, and are higher. As the wants of merchants are now small for duties, this coin will keep id the banks longer than when Mr. Walker released it, and give subataptial relief. The “flying machine" is to be tested again next week. A working model, stxieeu fee; long, pro pelled by MOo small engines, has beeo built, and the navigation of “still air” will be accomplished.— Of this there is no-dbubi,but whether freight and pas sengers can he carried, is to be the result of ex periments extending into the next century. New York Hatters, 'at least the journeymen, have gone qhjttfteraxy at what they call the abuse of the apprentice system. All establishment* that have over tare* are declared “foul,” and no jour neymen allowed to work there- It will soon be all over, labor must submit to the universal law of supply and demand. People will continue to wear hats, and the workmen who have been used aa catipaws, will return Htf men to their work. A good deal of feeling hat been caased here by the movenHUtt on the part of Philadelphia to tap the Erie roan at Port Jervis. Such a step would injure New York, and have a tendency to divert trade from the Central Pennsylvania route.— The distance in point of cost on freight would be oonridersbiytcheaper, and the scheme ts thus given on importance in the muds of merchants. Messrs- Fox. fie Livingston have taken poases- steamship building for the Havre Line, by the Ooean Steam Company, and will have the line ia operation. They are entirely conversant With the Havre trade, and thq mortifying failures of the other routes win not be experienced here.. The completion of this enterprise will make the American Steam Marine equal to tt-a: of John 8011, in spite of the long strides he took while we ware ptfMSgdtraaitmfaaii* » A Second Reply. * n <*&*** °f [ h* tourte 0} study ?™r°~df<,r,h'P mAureh li ghSchml Pw - Eiwrr My de„ Sir o.imiuncd 'i' 1 * Un '? uche,J Ihe ““io point, reoort in a,e re P 1 >’ lo 3 rour review of the nncfplan oIW-T|“ h P Sr*f ' h ' for mo tn . , *i ” School, it now only remains Sr SKtiTO review | aimed merely lo disarm your review of ° b,eCU °°' "■"*« n»n.n« urn d&il, of»o“ re'o.‘ n d«T d “ ' he raMI Mnpo '- JrcX h :»r t zr* ,r f, the H«h sThoi. : y n s. e "f °“" h “ it. of naZT.’.r “T-™?

These quo tations look to me also very much like an assertion that the study of the physical sciences has a ten dency to produce materialism and infidelity. You aay that you restricted this charge to the ereiusivt pursuit of these stadiea But if Humboldt's ency clopedia of modern science recognizes no God, and if you find msierialism m nil the works aud treatises on natural science, would there not be danger in introducing any of these works into h coarse of education' You would probably admin ister physicr in minute quantities, and rely for the counteraction of the poison ou large doses ol meta physics. I could quote other passages from your review,of the same tenor a* those above, but these are probably snfficienl to justify me for having at tempted a defence. \ou remind me of your statement that you place very Itttle value on any merely Intellectual pursuit not even on theology itself, ns a means of moral cultivation. This would seem to militate againit the assertion or any grent moral advantage from the studies of the ancient languages and metaphy sics, which in olaer places you maintain. Ido not however agree with vour statement, and am not disposed to lake advantage of ycur admission iu the genernl argument. ii seems to me that no man can thoroughly-understood the laws of minJ and matter without seeing that moral law is woven io the plan of the universe. And no man can be in true sympathy with nature, without shrinking from any violation of her laws, as a Violence done to his own being, his lrue.bowever. that as Ho»- aical and professional studies have 100 generally been conducted, they have but little influence to lead men either to ncture or to God. The courte is one too moch of conventionalism and constraint. We cannot see nature aright through colored gi&*- aes, nor converse with her in prescribed or bor rowed language. Dor serve her .n a straight jack et. Ail her children are simple, honest and free —' You make one remark which cover* ’ne whole ground of my argument on the charncter of natu ral studies. I did aot notice it m myjlate reply, be cause it is so directly opposed to the geoerol course of your reasoning, and 1 thought t*. foirer to confine myself to tbe tenor of your view*. You *ny io your revtefr, “Creation, with all its harmony of ar rangement and beauty, is but mi effect of mind, shall we not then nudy tbe wondrous cause 7 **— All that I had consumed pages in saying is here tersely expressed in ttu* admirable sentence. But bow, my dear sir, Wo"!d rou B udy n caul! better than in its effect, especially that moat *ubtle of all ®stises, mind* And it toe Studv of creation ia the study of the Creator, would you not be inclined to admit that this tiudy, at lea.-t, may tiave a direct moral influence on the mind aud heart? Bo thought the devout Lmneus when be inscribed over the entrance to his cab-net in which were preserved the beautiful forms ot vegetable and insect life— CAVX, DEUS aDESI laft heed, God u here. Your remark upon the German origin ol my ideas and tbe heathenism of that people, n quite too much for an assertion, quite too little tor an argu ment, and therefore if 1 may be permuted to re turn your own compliment, you bad better have left it unmade. But you certainly ought not to de spise gathering a few ideas from tbe bmaplnre of the Reformation, the country where your fovgrite studies of the classics and ineiaphvsic* are more fully cultivated than in any other part nf Christen dom. Bear in mind, Ido not use that word in y«ur rrfertlimitatioß.bat only in the popular sense And 1 seriously declare ilmt sever,«i year* re-.- dence in lhat country satisfied me, that so far as infidelity prevails there, it is owing lo the cultiva tion of metaphysics apart from the teachu-g of physical science.

If it exist in the tmod. bow then can it be made an instrument io traiamg the mind? Manifestly, by directing the mental powers lo the oomparison of phenomena, and tbe marking of their agreement or disagreement. This i» the whole process of education. What phenomena jught first to be presented 1 * Oar sense* will of :oarsc direct us first to those ofthe external world, and with these we will term our first acquaintance. But we cannot generalize nor reason without the use of language; at least, without its aMisiaoce. we canQOt-communicate our thoughts und conclu sions to others. Language may, therefore, be con sidered os the vehicle of thought and the instru ment of reasoning, and conseqiiently.it ought tube the first to every system of education.” lour definition of science ts too scanty. but with your reasoning Iso far agree. “Science is the compar ison of phenomena, and the discovery of their agreement or disagreement,' and “is to be made an instrument in traiaiog the mind by directing the mental powers to the comparison of these phenom ena,” &c- "This ia the whole workjofeducation.” You next admit that the phenomena of the exter nal world are those with which we form our first acquaintance. No ingefimty could have framed an argument mote conclusive that tbs study of'aa lurel science is precisely fitted for the early train ing of the mind.- Why (ben are you uot willing to let us follow the course which tw facts. That would be a direct ahsurdity. Second ly, You will not infer that siace some studies, not useful as objMp of knowledge, arc useful for men tal discipline, therefore the pursuit of physics! -cl oaca being useful as an object of knowledge, is not useful for mental discipline. I shall not accuse you of having fallen iolo a sophism so shallow o« this. Lastly, you will not maintain that the com parison acid arrangement of the facts in physical science is not a mental excercise sufficient to task the mind to its utmost at every stage of ala growth, that it does not begin with problems which the simplest child can comprehend, and ascend to loose which (he greatest intellects have not yel peoelrm ed. lam yery far from accusing you of such gross ignorance of the nature ofscientific pursuits. How you ever came to your conclusion I must leave an unsolved and by me unaolvabie mystery. I am designedly, thus explicit because you attach great importance to this argument oi yours, and because other persons who wonld be judges in mailers ol education, have pronounced this positioa of your*, impregnable. Leaving the negative course, let us turu t-. pns. Hive reasoning. The pursoit of science you .-uy is the proper means of training the mental power*. What science or class of sciences is best adapted tt/become this instrument 1 The pursuit o( every science, whether physical, mental or moral, implies the previous acquisition of language enough to ,seru as tbe vehicle of thought; but having nc -'quired sufficient language for this purpose, how cun we better train tbe mind to habits of comparison and.generalization than in comparing tbe phenom ena of tbe outward world, and in makiug tbo*e generalisations of these phenomena which the stu dent is compelled lo do at every step of his pro gress ! The exercise of tbe powers of comparison and generalization are mental efforts in themselves of sufficient difficulty for tbe young mind, there is therefore a decided advantage in selecting for tbe cultivation or these powers, such objects as are Visible and tangible, those objects with which, as you any, we make our first acquaintance, and these are the objects of natural science The facts of dead languages and of metaphysics, could they be : as dasily comprehended, might answer the same purpose, but they are facts which the young mind emit only imperfectly comprehend, and therefore Its companions and generalizations are, after yean of study, still very faulty. Indistinctness of ideas is naturally attended by weakness of interest, sad therefore it is seldom tbe case that young persons apply themselves with full energy of mind in stu dying tbe phenomena of the dead languages.— mbits of inattention ere 7ery often acquired at this early stage of tbe study of tbe ancient langua ges f rom which the miod never recovers. The miad for years is overtaxed in the effort of com prehending tbe phenomena of language, and ts ‘tßhtli ir* prepared to tbeaxanriae of compare [ &g and arranging these phenomena till a later "tage of iw growth till it ha* reached snch a point in iu developemem thauhe object ons which it 11 to reason come easily within iu grasp. The objects ol natural science, 00 the other hand, are easily comprehended by aid of tbe eye, ear and touch I hey interest tbe curiosity and engage tbe atten tion; and tbe mind at once proceeds to reason upon them with vigor and Micces* In pursuing these studies, throwers of attention, of memory, ol comparison, of abstraction, of generalization, of reasoning, and even the hafcul of estimating proba ble evidence, are all put in requisition—with the great advantage lhat the undivided, uncontused, uomistified mind applies its full energies to the ex ercise of these powers. From a boundless field of illustrations I will re- fer to two or three to show what kind ot training the pursuit of physical science afford* to the mind There is not perhaps within the range of human thought, one atody which will *0 directly and suc cexsfully train the mind 10 the power of ttnci logi cal reasoning from effect to cause and from cause to effect, as the study of physics. In a course of study on ibis science, the attention of ihe young mind is called to myriads of phenomenon or effect* tasking its powers to iheir fullest extent to class-fy' and refer them all lo their proper cause. Take for instance tbe infinitely* varied effect* 01 the law of gravitation os manifested in falling bodies, in ai mospherio and liquid pressure, or consider the meDtni exercise required in referring the interest, uig effects of heat to the law* which they indicated; or the deduction of the meceanicai powers from the laws of momentum and eq ihbnum;or in exam ining the phenomena which depend upon the re flexion and refraction ofight And where will you find tbe power of romnanson and of tracing analo gic* more icily called into exercise than iu the studies of* Botany and Chemistry' Chemistry and •cvernlother nmural sciences have also enough to do with probable evidence. You will confess DO doubt Him the nomenclature of the*.* scieres give* a *ulfinent exercise for the cultivation of memory. Indeed you complain of the severity .1 the task “of luying up in the memory the tong catalogue of names descriptive of the L.nnaen tetany;” and seem to forget ihirt when speaking ol the study of language you adduce this very* exercise of memoi mug words as one of tbe prominent benefits lo the mind. To remember the word* of a dictionary is Mireiy not a more inlere*t,ng task than lo remem ber the names which serve to classify the object* ofnalura! science. The power to recollect words is however by fir the least valuable office ot mem ory.tbe recollection ofqualities, propertfevrelaiions ard principle*, t* the kind of memory which the I physical sciences call inlo ihe mo*t active exercise and this is a fundamental quality of an enlarged and vigorou* intellect. My agumeot for the physical sciences is now completed In ihe* report we showed their com prehensive hearing upon, and indispensible spph caiion to, nil the active pursuits of societv, beyond *veu n di-[K>sition lo cavil, m uiy reply to your re view ut the report. 1 exhibited the high intellectual and moral nature of the-e studies, connecting s* they dothe human mind w.th die -ource of all truth *nd wisdom, and lastly you In re so u.ml ns to cation me now to prow* (hem the true and natural instrument tn the imii.N of the educator, lo tram and develop® the most im|>ort&nl pott’er- <-j the youthful mind.

The learned judge in charging the jury, addren ed ihem in the following words— i This is Ihe first case of the kind that bos ever 1 teen brought before ihe criminal court* of thin i county for more than twenty year*, and is perhaps ihe second one that has ever occured in thts coun ty. Ail Christian nations have held sacred fbe repose ot ttie dead There is h sanctity about the grave, from Ihe violation of which, human nature, on- ' trammelled by rehgibns superstition. revolts.— Nothing can more truly mark the refinement and virtue ot a people, than the degree of respect 1 they show for ihe memory of thu dead. In o i | country in the world does this feeling proven to a greater extent, or is mere beautifully displayed, than in our own. Tma seoliuient is implanted in our nature It is carried out in our practice, h is enforced hv our laws. We have, amongst other law* bearing on the subject, nn ancient statute prohibiting il,« location of any road or highway through a grave-yard, no matter how much it may be demanded by the necessity or convenience of ihe pobhe. Extensive tracts of ground near our large cities and towns, adorned with every em- , beihsbment of art, aud every beauty of nature, are purchased at n greet expense, and appropriated to | the sacred purpose of sepulture and rest for the deacL Ihe cemetery and the country rhurcb yard ore consecrated spot*, and xnuctified to ihe whole community, and especially in the bereaved rela» lives and friends of the’ departed, by the most sacred associations. They are nallowed and , beautitul retreats, to which the living of every class ot character may resort witti profit. The silent voices ot the dead will speak peace to their souls, aod teach them salutary lessons oft meekness and bumdity. There affection love* to resort and linger, in plant a dower or drop a tear over the grave ol the deported. This sentiment of veneration for ihe remains of the dead should be handed down Imm generation to generation, and .fn.ii d be cherished not on ly long alter ihe dreem-ed but all bt» friends shall have been gathered to the same last resting place. It is true that a physician deserve* commenda tion, who manifests a 'audible desire ot improve ment in hia profession.

The principle, we thiuk. has never been seriously controverted in Pennsylvania. It seems to be so understood by those who have an interest in procuring subject*, for when* they undertake lo prooure them from the grave, they alwuy* do it by stealth, and seem to be aware that punishment will follow detection. I The act ot taking up a dead body from the grave by stealth and violence, aud without authority, be ing an offence, the next question for the jury to determine, is who participated in ju Thia end nil oilier question* of tart are for the jury to decide. In misdemeanors there are no accessaries All who participate either direcuy or o'direclty in the transaction are considered as principals—-not only those who do the act but those who procure ad rise, assist, encourage or countenance n whether absent or present, are alike principal*.
