The Sii-w?.
Our news from Washington is importer i The
President's message vetoing the Indigent in-sue
land bill was sunt to the Senate yesterday , < nd our
readers will find it under the appropriate In id It
is a tedious performance, hut will, nevertb"N cre
ate a prodigious furor among the land not.carer*.
It is believed by many that tiro bill will pass not
withstanding tire veto, us tiie philanthropic ol j?>ct
Bought to Le accomplished has, through the exer
tions of the benavolcnt Miss Dix, enlisted much
BynipaMiy. It passed the Senate by a vote of 1 a.city
to twelve, and the House by nearly two lo one.
Whether the administration h is sufficient iiiK mnce
over its julhcreuts to bring them square up to the
mark remains to b? seen; but it is certain thai the
subject will cause an elaborate debate in the Senate.
Aft( r expressing his deep sympathy with tire design
of the measure, his reluctance ut dissenting from
the conclusions of Congress, and giving a synopsis
of lire bill, the 1'rt sidcirt ? ntors upon his objeotions
to the principle involved, contending that if it is
proper for the geucral government to make provi
sion for the insane, it is also proper to pro- I
vide fin' every benevolent object of a similar
character, and he cannot find any authority in the
constitution for making tire federal government
the great almoner of public charity. The grounds
of the vejo an-;imply tire inexpediency and uncon
stitutionality of the measure. We have neither time
nor space to go into an analysis of tiro points of the
message at present, but shall probably return to the
Bubjcet in our next issue. In the course of the
debate on the motion to print the message, a "dead
set" 17ns nr idc upon Mr. Douglas, to entrap him into
an expression of opinion on the Homestead bill, but
although he acknowledged that he was friendly to
the measure, he dexterously avoided making the
admission that l e should vote for it. The Little
Giant knows very well that, when in parsuit of a
political object, it is most advantageous to secure
the "sweet voices" of sane men.
The friends of the Nebraska bill connt upon one
hundred uiul twenty vote- in favor and one hundiv 1
and ten against the bill, provided the Clayton
amendment is struck out. The greatest activity
prevails among the whippers-in at the capital in
beating up the stragglers. But we cannot help be
lieving that ihi new-born zeal on the part of the
friend- of the Nebraska bill, is only a rase to enable
the Home to enter upon tbe consideration of and !
press the passage of the Deficiency bill in the inte- !
riin which will elapse before the decided move on ?
the Nebraska question. The delay in furnishing
the government the requisite means lias seriously i
interfered with the public works, and if persisted in
will greatly embarrass the administration. Hitherto
the discussion of the Nebraska question lias gone on
by consent in Committee of the Whole under tli > !1 |
ficiency bill; but if the House will only pass tiie ap
propriations it utay discuss Nebraska till do nisday
if they pleas c.
In the United States Senate yesterday, the Judi
ciary Committee reported that it was inexpedient
to legislate on the subject of having the I'uited
Ftates statutes revised, c> rrectcd. and collated.
The bill confirming pre-emption rights to lands in
the Ma's or Hougc grant, in Louisiana, passed last
wok, was reconsidered, amended anil passed. A
resolution to amend the rules, so as to admit any
am? r.dnn nl to the Appropriation bills intended to
cany or.t liabilities resulting from existing laws or
treaties, wan ndopled. A motion to add half a mil
lion of dollars to the Indian Appropriation bill, to
pay the frieu lly Crc< k Indians for certain lands,
elicited a speech from Mr. Walker In its support,
but, without coming to a vote, tbe bill was laid
aside. The President's veto message on the bill
appropriating two million acier of the public lands
for the benefit of the in iigent insane, was received
and read. On the nioti n to print ten thousand
copies of the nu s^age, a spirited debate sprung up,
which was continued until half-past four o'clock,
when the Senate adjourned.
In tbe Home various petitions were presented
praying for the rs? I'jiishineiit of schools for seamen.
It was stated th i' ill? Naval C >nr nittee had under
oon-idera'.ion a project-i'-t the establishment of
floating rh'>. Is for the training of seamen. In
Commit fee of the Wno!c the d nsideration of the
bill e-tablishing the o;li -e of Surveyor Goneril of
Now Mcxic i, and granting lands to actual settlers
tin rein, w.ei resumed, the question being on the
amendment a'.terb j the .-e ? <ud section so as to rea i
that "grants shall lie made to every white mal ?
citizi n, or every white male over twrnty-ono years
of a?e, win 1; is declared his intentions t> bee iraci
citi/.en." The repctiii <n of the word "white"
teems to have completely disgusted tire ab ditionists
of the House, for the "bellwethers'' of the flock
pounced upon it with a veugei k-c, aud thene inrel
one of the silliest discussions that we have ever been
compelled to place on record ns part of the proceed
ings of Oougn -s. The amo ulincut wis a rroed to,
and tire bid a d aside to Ire reported to the House.
The bill to amend the land laws of Oregon and ex
tend their provisions over the Territory of Wash
ington was then debated.
We lean ed yesterday, from the agent of the l i e
Mr. James Ilolford, decerned, banker, of London,
that there was no truth In the s ory that be had
willed his large property to the l'rince of Wales.
The lawyer of the deceased had informed his agent
here that he had left his estate to his nephews and
neices, the sons and daughteis of his brother, pre
vionrly deceafcd, and who resided in England. Tire
will ho?l been proven in court.

Trials of W. II. Seward and Iris Organ*.
The nuti-slavery organs of the lloa. William
11. Sewunl arc again In sore distress. Their
life, to tell the truth, is one unending talc of
woe. Apparently fulfilling the primeval curse
in it* mo.-1 literal seu-e, these highly philan
thropic and moral journals arc nlways going
through unheard of sufferings on somebody'?
account. They have wept and groaned over
the blacks at the South till fatigue its if for
bade the righteous tear to How;" and now that
nature can enduro no more gri. f on this h ad.
their silent melancholy is a moving, pcrhap
ns their former lamentations. The Unl ?? ha
been sorrowed over a* well a* the constitution.
Serious arithmetical calculations have W- ;i
made between paroxysms of waiting; and the
Uoliful philosopher has discovered tli.it th"
bor.d which our father.- styled the pnllaliuinoi
our country costs us Northerners 410 a h' ad.
profits us Kl cents, and is therefore a dead lo*
to us of $39 GO. Over these thirty-nine dollar
ami sixty cents, our knights of the sorrowful
figure have indulged in fre.-h and heart-rending
cries. Turning from the contemplation ofthi
affecting topic to more pressing and les
imnginary sources of grief, Mr. Seward's organ
are now plunged into the deepest misery incon
sequence of the proceedings of Mr. Fillmore
and Mr. Crittenden. The o re has been ful
filling a promise be made some time siucc when
he was 1'resident. and travelling through
the South. Every city and village on his way
has received him with acclamations. Honors sel
dom bestowed on any citizen have strewed
his path. Memphis. New Orleans, Mobile.
Louisville. Savannah, ai d l'harle-t<>n have vied
with each other in the warmth of their welcome.
Everywhere the masses have crowded to hear
htm :p?ak. and having heard him, have re
tun id htuii! highly satisfied with his senti
tii) iitf and liiit tune. This is the gravamen of
his injury. This is the wrong be has done: and
hence the tears which arc flowing so abun
dantly from the eves of the tender-hearted or
gans of Mr. Seward.
The other gentleman whose fate is moving
their sympathies is Mr. Crittendeu, who was a
prominent member of Mr. Fillmore's Cabinet,
at d whose distinguished abilities have earned
him u high ami honorable place in his party.
ll? bar hud the misfortune to Lave been the
toucri 1 of Matthew Ward on his trial for
murder; and hence, in his case, the renewed
lam) ntntiona of the organs aforesaid.
Such a eour-e of proceeding, pursued in pre
i isrly the same sty le, in two cases so widely
diflereut, must appear inexplicable to a casual
i l*ervcr. 1 illinore is feted aud honored, aud
Hi Si ward sheets weep; Crittendeu discharges
tin ordinary professional duty, and they weep
ut. iiu with redoubled virulence.
The apparent discrepancy can however be
easily e .plained. Since the death of Mr. Web
sU i the two most prominent men of the whig
I. riy have been Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Critten
deu. both . re men of tried abilities and large
? \jx iiiucej loth are sincerely attached to the
1 uiou; botlt enjoy a considerable share of per
i ?. nal pipulnrity. Under ordinary circum
stances. the tolly aud corruption of
Cim ial Pierce's administration must raise
tin- wi.ig party to great strength and
i , gs.iiu .< before the next election. It is daily
iiu n n ng with giant strides ; and if a division
in i!.? (tarty can only be prevented, the chances
.) ihat the election of 1851! will be a count.:r
I irt of that of IMO. and that Pierce will he
<lt i? ?U d us \ un Dure a was, and for precisely
thi a me reas ons. The bulk of the old whig
including Mr. Everett, have been killed
? -ii l> the Nebraska MIL Mr. Everett's chances
wire * ry good some time ago ; his abilities
arc undoubted ; but his course on tluU measure
I n- " thi diminished hi- prospects of success
i tn : nil r him at the present moment by no
ii.i e a formidable rival. So it is with most
ut . ..a have had anything to do with the
>?11 ? i bill. Am< ng the prominent whigs
bo 1 av not In n victimised by that measure,
> ; 1 oil. re, at.d Mr. Crittendeu. who have
b. lit wiii < ?i .1 the buttle from the .-ale distance
? I privutc life, have the best chances for ob
t i . i it Hi. nomination. From present appear
'< ihenf n* it h'. ms ijuite probable that,

tola t< dominant party, mill be between these
1 of coure u oi l J bo highly detrimental
to Ik ambitious b<>j> *?f \Villiu.ua II. Seward.
A union of the whig* wouM leave hiiu no
chui.ee whatev<r for the Presidency. In fact
itia orilj hope i? in an entire demolition of the
jut?eat parti. *, wud the construction of
I a new Northern party on a purely anti
slavery luffs. If litis could tic inn tagcd,
.!.? Si utheru whig* left l?y thini-clve*. u:hI

' friends believe that hi* a.ai slavery standard

' to pli.< r bin in the Presidential chuir in spite
ol the S i.ib. But to Uo th?. lite w hole North

ture to think, have too much common sense for
anything of the kind. So fur a* Mr. Fillmore
is concerned, the assault* of the Seward organ*
have not n* yet assumed any formidable shape.
It will tukc something m -re than a few silly
sneers to destroy the practical effect of the
demonstrations which are now taking place
throughout the South : and a* Mr. Fillmore,
unlike some other eminent wbigs. has said nud
done nothing during his tour w hich could afford
a handle to malice, hi* enemies must he at their
wit's i ml for omething effective to saj. Nor
cun Mr. Crittenden be permanently injured by
the contemptible slanders with which he ha* i

Dr. Abbott's Egyptian Antiquities* |
MEETING AT BTtTY VE8ANT JNPT1TVTE?LECTCKE BY
IUCV. J. P. TtlOMPHOM.
Ret. J. P. Thermpaon delivered a lecture last evening,
at Stuyversnt Institute, in relation to tlie propose 1 pur
chase of Dr. Abbott's collection of Egyptian autiquities,
to a full and fashionable audience. Mr. Thompson-"lid
that he did not come here to avouch for the genuineness
of the collection?that was acknowledged by the Euro
pean (aeons. Be hoped that this collection would be
pre served in New York, aa it was made by an tmeriean
citizen, and contained specimens which are to be found
nowhere else. It should be preserved for the sake of
art, history and religion. Egyptology has now become
to he an important study for theologians, as it confirms
scriptural history. The question is whether we shall
give to students the power to pursue this study at
home, or whether they shall be obliged to cross the
Atlautic and trust to the courtesy of Queen Victoria or
Louis Napoleon. We have first to consider the value of
this collection as throwing light upon the history of
Egypt. We have but very meagre details as to tlie his
tory of thia great nation. It is very evident that the
ancient Egyptians were acquainted with the art of writ
ing'. The speaker referred to an antique image on the
taole to show that the roll of papyrus and tl.e stylus
frequently appeared at an unknown period. Wit also
know, be continued, that at Thehca has been, found the
remains of a library which existed in the fourteenth
century before Christ, it is upon these monuments,
bearing the names, portraits, accounts of corona ions
of kings, that we must learn the history of Egypt, as yet
unwritten. The monuments are all in excellent preser
vation, on account of the prcservlog influence of the cli
mate. All the .-avails agree that the Egyptians were es
pecially industrious in carving and securing the-c monu
ments?the climate being espec ially excellent for this
purpose llie lecturer went into a critical aualysisof
Mr. Toole's tl.eory of Egyptian dynasties, which he held
to bo coriect and sustained by the Egyptian monuments,
and which carry 1 nek our dates to tfi 17 ii. C., in opposi
tion to the opinions of l.epsius and the Chevalier Ruitnen.
Mr. l oole ooes make the era of Jlene*anterior to that of
the 1 i-Uige; but this does not militate against Biblical
chronology, us that is not alwavs well loan led, and
tbero are disagreements between iheSeptuagint an I the
Hebrew text. These disagreements rony bo reconciled by
the tact that the first was pro tuced at Aloxandr'' and
the learned men at work upon it had all the advantage
of the monuments. To show how Scriptural history is
sustained by tlio Egyptian monuments, the lecturer in
state id the obelisk at llcliopi lis illustrating incidents in
the life of Joseph. Wc can also traco the history of
'icqhues, the I'haroah of Exodus, the second monarch
of the eighteenth dynasty. lie was a great builder of
temples, and wo find it recorded in the tombs of cotom
1 onirics. The spiaker showed diagrams to Illustrate the
i.rick making process. In this museum there is a speci
men af these bricks. Champ-.lllon lias discovered the
tomb of the Egyptian king who camo up against Jerusa
lem, as related in the Book of Chronicles. We also
see representations of the Jewish captives brought
by him from Jndea. The slavery, the stewardship and
history of Joseph's sojourn in Egypt, may also be traced.
We read that Joseph sealed up the storehouses of grain,
and In this collection we have one of the seals with
which the doors were sealed. We also read that Joseph
am! his brethren sat at the feast contrary to the usual
Eastern custom, and Dr. Abbott has a fine drawing of a
ci air. Moses was hid in an ark made of papyrus and
bitumen, just the material of which the mummy cases
are made, in order thit they shall he impervious to
water. It is also evident that the Israelites learned the
liberal arts in Egypt, and in this Museum wo have evi
dence that tho 1 gyptiaus were skilled in working in
leather, gilding, carved wood, fine linen, embroidery,
Ac.. and all these arts wore used by the Israelites in the
making of the tabernacle in tho wilderness ; and their
proficiency in llie^> arts can be explained upon the hy
pothft is that they learned thein in Egypt. The lecturer
I ruceeded to point out various resemblances between the
early history ot the Jews and the representations upon
the Egyptian tombs. This Museum can never be replaced,
ss there are stringent laws against the carrying away of
many specimens similar to thoso which Dr. Abbott pro
cured. lu view of the various literary and scientific
institution*, now springing up in this city, this collection
Is invaluable.
Rev. Mr. i 'scoop said a few worilB relative to American
ignorance on Egyptian subjects, which he could represent,
lie thought that more light was needed on this subject
to hrii g old Egypt and young America together. Now,
our people know so little about Egypt that we do not
wonder at it. As a means of illustrating history the col
lection would be valuable, and It was pleasant to know
II at it aoi Id probably be kept among us.
Lev. Dr. S: km lh presented resolutions?first, that the
m?eiing uas fully satisfied of the rarity and genuineness
? t Dr. Ablmtt's collection: second, that it Is highly im
portant that this collection shculd be retained in the
city of New York; that the meeting approve of the
means nlteady taken to secure subscriptions for the pur
pose i f purchasing the collection: mid lastly, a vote of
thanks to Tetcr t oonor, Esq., for nis generous appropria
'. on of ri om in his institute lor tho permanent deposi
tor) of this c< llection?and then the meeting dissolved.

P.uka of Real Estate is New You it?We have carefuljy
pre] rred a statement of tho reale tate sales in this cit ??
i.urirg the past eight months, (says tin Commercial )
It will be seen that our auctioneerj in this line of b'.rtl
iipss are in full feather, notwithstanding the stringency
of the money ronrket at the present time. The corpo
ration limits of New York, it may he as well to state,
extend from the Dattery to King; bridge, a distance of
thirteen and one-third miles, and the width is one mile
and three quarters. Of this area ahont one-fifth is com
pactly built up in. Dy a glance at tho map in Valentine's
Manual for 1863. wc observe that the vacant or upper
I art of tho city is traversed lengthwise by seventeen ave
nues, which are again crossed by streets numbering from
one to two hundred and twenty-nine. These streetsform
rqnares. which sro surveyed for building lots of tho size
of twenty-five feet in width by one bundle 1 in depth.
The survey of New York was commence 1 in 1811 by John
Randall, Jr., under the direction of Gouvcmeur Morris,
De Witt Clinton and John Rutherford, and occupied them
ten rears in its completion. The entire Rres was originally
purchased of tho Indians for $24, and it was estimated
to be worth, in 1852, the sum of $253,'.'78,384. Judg

The Weather and tiie Tikrh.?Tlio second edition of
the stotm of last week was given us yesterday. In the
morning the rain poured down in torrents, but held tip
during the middle of the day, gathering fresh energies
for a rerewul of the storm in the afternoon. The wind
almost boxed the compass, blowing bctwrecn morning and
night from every point between southeast and north
west. The vast amount of rain that has fallen has
swollen our rivers to near the level of the piers, creat
ing one continual flow to the sea, with scarcely any flood
tide. Tlic water in the bay even to the Narrows, is as
fresh as the "Croton itself, showing a preponderance of
the freshets and rains over the salt wavos of the ocean.
Bast tlic hour of last midnight, tliepavemonts continued
to sound beneath the descending flood.
I'irkp?The ringing of the bells last evening, at about
8 o'clock, was for a tire at No. 81 Cedar street. The flro
originated in a segur store, in thctoird story, and was ex
tinguished with trifling damsge.
