',1 'IT' DANCING, gj The General Assembly of ihe Presbyterian CLuak, recently In session t rhiln Je'phin, adopt ed a resolution disapproving of dsnejng. The Philadelphia Ledger takes up the subject snd fur. nlshts the following amusing, at well ai In truetive cammrn i t Daccing ii universal. No race of men ever xirteJ without it, and every race of mrn has regulated dancing, bai connected it with gome ceremony, made it aymbolical of nomethinj. It is a natural instinct, a natural propensity, like laughing, and therefore is univernal. Who ever would bo convinced of this, may observe an infant not more than three months old, while hearing a tune in quick time on any instru ment Any nurse or mother can tell any Re verend member of the Presbyterian General Assembly, the most infants A icA during such per formances, and thatthe majority exhibit every manifestation of ieliehr. Love of music is one of the instincts strongly exhibited in infancy ; tmi when an infant, possessing this instinct in a high degree, hears a quick tune on a piano, and more especially on a violin, its sparkling eyes, rapid motion of the legs, and tossing of the arms as if it were attempting to fly, pro claim that some natural instinct is excited. This is the natural instinct, the natural pro pensity of dancing. God put it there, and both reason and revelation say that it should be regulated, not suppressed. It is not imitation; fbr infanta do not attend balls, and we have seen such things in families who did not dance at the fire-side; and weassert, withoutfearof contradiction, that such infantile dancing is quite as common among the babies of their Reverences of the General Assembly as a mong those of the laity. All Savages dance, and natural instincts are more powerful in sa vage than civilized communities, because they are less restrained by reason. And dancing has always prevailed in all civilized com mu ni ten. Does this universality, under all cir cumstances, prove nothing! We have seen boys in the streets, especially negroes, in whom the mirthful instincts are more powerful than in the whites, borne away by an irresistible desire to dance, on hearing a hand-organ or other instrument. They may never have dan ced before, and probably did not think of dan cing which they bad seen. They danced to satisfy a craving, a desire, like hunger or thirst, they danced because they could not help it. We once knew an orthodox Congregational clergyman, ot Mastachutetts, of the highest character as a minister and a Christian, who .could not stay where a violin was played, be cause "it made his feet itch." The worthy old gentleman, and worthy indeed was Dr. S. of L , was actually afraid of violating tho dignity of his age and office, by cutting involuntary ca pcrs. Nature whispering dance! dance! who ton strong for the conventional rules of society and his order, and reason told him that his only safety was in Jlight. The lower animals dance. Almost every Englishman has heard of, read of, or seen danc ing bears, and all Egypt can tell of dancing camels. Horses can be taught to dance, and every trumpeter in any army enn tell how they will caper and prance and caracole at his music. In Europe, no appendage to a puppet show is more common than dancing dogs ; and in In dia, jugglers contrive to extort dancing from serpents. Mice dance; and anecdotes are on record of celebrated players on tlio violin, to whose music mice came out of their holes and cut capers, sometimes on two legs, sometimes on four. But of all quadrupeds, the mot roady dancers are the monkey tribes. Music makes their "feet itch" as much as it did those of the Rev. Dr. S., of L., though we do not admit any other point of comparison ; and almost any sound in quick and measured time will excite them to grotesque and ridiculous movements. Birds dance, spontaneously and imitative)', and singing birds furnish music to their dancing. We have seen yellow birds, rice birds, and o thcr varieties of singing birds, chirping and hopping about the bushes with great rapidity. We have seen Canary birds do the same thins; in an aviary. This is natural dancing, and the chirping and singing are its natural music But besides these natural movements, singing birds have been taught to dance in regular steps, to the sounds of musical int-trumcnts and if fleas can be taught to draw in harness like horses, why may not orioles and finches and sparrows be taught to execute rigadons and pirouettes like opera girls 1 But the best natu ral dancing which we have ever witnessed in birds, was performed by woodpeckers, of that beautiful species called, in some of the States yellow hammer, in others high hill, by Cateaby, Latham, and other naturalists, and also in Jef ferson's Notes, Ficus Auratus,ot gold-winged woodpecker. We have seen these birds in small parties of four, five, six, collect on the grass and hop in a singular movement, resembling a Scottish reel, each bird uttering a note resent bling the words hiitue,hittue, hittuc, all keep. ing exact time together in the note a ml the hop, which also were simultsneotio. Quiet, peace fu) observers ofbirds may discover among them numerous habits, of which the murderous fowl er, with hia infanial guns, never heard or ne ver dreamed. Now we ask the Reverend gentlemen of the General Assembly, whether the Old or Naw, or any School to explain all this. If they can not they are so far ignorant of'Aumsn nature, and of other animal nature, of which all this is a part ; and if they are so fur ignoraut, they are deficient in one qualification important for teachers. And if we ran explain this, we so far have tha advantage over thin ; snd we ttil explain it hereafter. Proceedings at Nuoo.

Meader, for several years employ ed as a compositor in this city, has invented a new mode of locking up forms and gallics. It consists in the application of screw qhoin, which are used with a small key or wrench, with straight side and foot-sticks. The screws, which are independent of the chase, can be mndc of different sizes, are applicable to any form, and can be used with any chase or gal ley now made, without altering them in the least They have been subjected to the se verest tests in our office, and are pronounced superior by the most capable of judging. In locking up with this mode, no mallets, shooting sticks, quoins, or bevelled aide and foot-sticks are used, and the contrivance can be employ ed on a stone, or board having a smooth surface, without injury to either, and without making the least noise. Moreover, there is no moving or jarring ofthe form or chase on the stone, and the form after it is locked up requires no plain ing down, which will prevent great injury be ing done to the face of the type. Each screw. although small, is capable of yielding from five to fifteen hundred pounds press-ore, and from four to six screws arc sufficient to lock up with the utmost safety the largest forma. This can be accomplished with the greatest correctness, as the screws used being of the same size, one can be turned tho same dibtuncc as the other. even by the smallest boy in the office, and with the utmost ease and precision. They may bo used any length of time, without clanger of shrinking and falling out. When the screws are once obtained, they will lut for years. Much time is saved with this new mode, in addition to the saving of material. The in ventiou has novelty, simplicity, and utility to recommend it. The inventor has applied for a patent, and we hope bis industry, ingenuity and expense, will meet a liberal return. Sat. Museum AsTOi sniso Hi' mob. For a week past it has been whispered about in this city, that a draft drawn by the Mexican Government in favor of Sam Houston, President of Texas, fur twin ty-fr thousand dollars, has bent paid at the counter of one of the prominent commercial' houses in Xctt'Otleani ! .' We learn further, that by the steamship New-York, which sailed on Monday evening for Galveston, information of such a character was transmitted to Texas aa will leave sesree- ly the shadow of a doubt upon the minds ofthe people jjiere, of the) truth of the rumor, which wss only whispered here.
