Woman's Rights. acquiring these branches, is with the crest mojorily of students, absolutely wasted, su far as the knowledge ihey thus acquird becomes of practical value, and had inuoh belter be devoted to tho ocquiaitioii of trench and German. Mr. Fowle taid : " What, he would ask, was [lie advantage 10 this community of a profound knowledge of the Laim and Greek languages? What advantage do we deriva from it, save perhaps a knowledge of Greek participles, or something else equally unimportant for the ordinary uses of life ? What benefit would this knowledge be to the mechanic or tiio agriculturist, unless !o ascertain how ihe pyramids weno constructed, or, fruni I lie Goorgics of Virgil, tho art of keeping bets? How are learned professions, lawyers, physicians, cergymen benefited? Translations of «ul lho works to which they are obliged to refer, are numerous and available and answer every purpose. He was decidedly in favor of devoting more time to tiio »tudv of our language. The tendency of too assiduous a devotion to the classius was to divert ihe mind from the study of what is practical and necessary, to what is useless. IIo had known instances of men whoso knowledge of the classios was profound and accurate, but who were painfully deficient in even an ordiimry knowle-c of tho English language." At a public meeting closing the recent Woman's Rights Convention at Boston, Kulpli Waldo Emerson delivered an ap. , propriate oration, for a report of which we are indebted to the Boston Traveller : The oration was full of mythic grandeur and nonsense, but redeemed by passages of great beauty and brilliancy. On the whole, it told far more against the ceus?, than for it. To attempt an abstract, for which alone, wo should huvo space at dis posal to.day, would be to do injustice alike to the lecturer and his theme. Ho said that he shared in the belief of the Anglo Saxon Race, thai woman has a rational nature, that they are more delicate than men, and as the more impressionable they are the best index ol the coming hour. As more delicate Alercuries of imponderable influences, what they say and think were the shadows of future events. ALn was will, woman sentiment. In the ship of humanity, will was the rudder, sentiment the sail ; and when Woman attempts to steer, tho rudder was only a masked sail. The life of the affections was primary to ihem, so that there is really no employment or career, they will not with their own opplause, or that of socicty, quit for a suitable marriage. (Laughter.) They cast all their fortunes on the die, and lose themselves entirely in the glory of their husband's children, while man stood bewildered by a magnanimity which he could not attain to. It was true (3aid Mr. Emeraon) that in painting, poetry and sculpture, woman had not yet produced a master; and he then proceeded to point out the respects in which lay their peculiar excellence. The first of these were their powers of conversation. They furnished society with manners. The second attribute was their ceremonial nature.— They embellished trifles. An ox ran to the water when thirsty, or to his corn, regardless of obstacles, and said no thanks: but man delays; he paints the desired object all over with forms; he invented majesty, etiquette, courts, drawing rooms, architecture, dress, elegance, privacy ; he created dignities, the union of sexes ; and how should we better measure the gulph between the best intercourse of man, in old Athens, London, or our Amer ican capitals—between that and tho hedge hog existence of the diggers of worms and eaters of by signalizing just this department of taste er comeliness 1 yet herein woman was the prime genius and ordainer. There was no grace taught by the master ol manners, no style adopted in the etiquette ot courts, but was firt-t the action of some brilliant, who charmed the beholdera by this new expression, which man copied ; and he taught that we should magnify their ritual manners. There was no advantage without compensation. Woman was more vulnerable, more infirm than man. They could not be such elegant artists in the element of fancy if they did not give themselves to it. They were poets who believed their own poetry—they dwelt more than man in the kingdom of illusion. They admitted into their almosp'lere waves over waves of colored light, and they saw all objects through those warm tinted mists which envelope them. But the starry crown of woman, the throne of her affection arid sentiment, and the infinite enlargement to which they lead, was t!ie possion of loxo—painter and adorner of new and earlv life ; but none suspected, in its blushes ar.d tremors, what tragedies and immortalities were beyond it. Mr. Emerson then went on to show that as soci. ety had progressed,so had woman's position changed and improved; and concluded by saying that he did not think it yet appeared that women wish an equal share in publio afftirs. But it was they, and not we, who were lo determine it. (Applause.) If wo refused them a vote, we should rc fuse to tax them ; according to our Teutonic principles, no representation no tax. At all events, this uprearingof new opinions in many minds, was a wonderful fact. Whatever is popular is important as show, ing the spontaneous sense of the hour, for the aspiration of thin century will be the code of the next. A masculine woman was not strong, but a lady is. The loneliest thought, the poorest prayer, is rushing to be the history of a thousand years. Let us have the true woman, the adorner, the ceremonial, the hospitable, the religious heart; and no lawyer need be called iu to write the stipulations with cunning clauses of provisions and strong instruments.— Then, he ought to say, he thought it impossible to separate the education and interests ot the sexes. Improve and refine the men, and you do the same by the woman, whether you wilt or 90. The slavery of woman began when men were slaves of kings. The amelioration of manners had brought woman's amelioration, of course ; hence this huge desire-of better laws.— This new movement, he said, in conclusion, he looked at as a tio shared by the spirits of men and womeu, and they might proceed in faith, that whatever woman's heart was prompted to desire, man's mind was simultaneously prompted to accomplish.

An interesting incident is related of Dan Rice, the celebrated circus performer, in a late number of the Reading Gazette. It appears that some fourteen years ago Dan left Reading with an exhibition o! somn sort, which turned out badly, end involved the proprietor in difficulty. Judge liei. dendreicli, of Berks co., found him in this condition, gave him a suit of clothes, and lent him a horse and wngori, in order that he might pursue his Lu-iness. Dan was •till unsuccessful, end destitution soonovertook him again, while, to add to his distress, hi* wife was taken sick. In this dilemma he was forced to sell the horso and wagon, which the Judge had only loaned him, in order to rsise means to lake his wife home to I'iltsburg. Not long after this ho obtained a situation in one of the theatres of this city, where tho Judge one night saw end rccognized him, and in the morning called arhis lodgings. Dan was still poor and seedy, and fully expected reproaches, if nothiug worse, from his old pa'ron, but instead of these the Judge insisted 011 his going a second time to a tailor's, and being fitted out »t his expense.—To this, however, Dan would not consent, and lliey parted never meeting again, until a few weeks ago, when his company was performing at Reading, and the Judge came down to attend Couri. Dan's first du;y was to hunt up his old friend, and invite him to take a short drive about town, to which he consented, and a horse and vehicle were soou at the door. 8Cll A NT ON no USE TERMS OF WARRANTY.

It had but one vessel, the brig Advance. For more than u year back its fate hits been esteemed very doubtful ; and when last Spring it' was proposed lo send out a party lo search for it, the proposition met with fur less favor than its friends desired, because it was thought almost a settled fuel that Dr. Kane and his parly were past all hope of recovery. Congress, however, favored the proposition, and two vessels were dispatched on the search oil the 4th of June, 1855.— They havs found the lost searchers for Franklin, and restored them lo thousand* of surprised and rej Dieing friends. Since the third expedition's sailing, no news has been brought back of them, and we had not time to publish the steamer Union's report that the expeditionists were otf Sandy Hook, before thuy caine to anchor off the Battnry, and the gallant adventurers were withstanding as well as they could the overwhelming welcomes of their friends.

Woman's Rights. acquiring these branches, is with the crest mojorily of students, absolutely wasted, su far as the knowledge ihey thus acquird becomes of practical value, and had inuoh belter be devoted to tho ocquiaitioii of trench and German. Mr. Fowle taid : " What, he would ask, was [lie advantage 10 this community of a profound knowledge of the Laim and Greek languages? What advantage do we deriva from it, save perhaps a knowledge of Greek participles, or something else equally unimportant for the ordinary uses of life ? What benefit would this knowledge be to the mechanic or tiio agriculturist, unless !o ascertain how ihe pyramids weno constructed, or, fruni I lie Goorgics of Virgil, tho art of keeping bets? How are learned professions, lawyers, physicians, cergymen benefited? Translations of «ul lho works to which they are obliged to refer, are numerous and available and answer every purpose. He was decidedly in favor of devoting more time to tiio »tudv of our language. The tendency of too assiduous a devotion to the classius was to divert ihe mind from the study of what is practical and necessary, to what is useless. IIo had known instances of men whoso knowledge of the classios was profound and accurate, but who were painfully deficient in even an ordiimry knowle-c of tho English language." At a public meeting closing the recent Woman's Rights Convention at Boston, Kulpli Waldo Emerson delivered an ap. , propriate oration, for a report of which we are indebted to the Boston Traveller : The oration was full of mythic grandeur and nonsense, but redeemed by passages of great beauty and brilliancy. On the whole, it told far more against the ceus?, than for it. To attempt an abstract, for which alone, wo should huvo space at dis posal to.day, would be to do injustice alike to the lecturer and his theme. Ho said that he shared in the belief of the Anglo Saxon Race, thai woman has a rational nature, that they are more delicate than men, and as the more impressionable they are the best index ol the coming hour. As more delicate Alercuries of imponderable influences, what they say and think were the shadows of future events. ALn was will, woman sentiment. In the ship of humanity, will was the rudder, sentiment the sail ; and when Woman attempts to steer, tho rudder was only a masked sail. The life of the affections was primary to ihem, so that there is really no employment or career, they will not with their own opplause, or that of socicty, quit for a suitable marriage. (Laughter.) They cast all their fortunes on the die, and lose themselves entirely in the glory of their husband's children, while man stood bewildered by a magnanimity which he could not attain to. It was true (3aid Mr. Emeraon) that in painting, poetry and sculpture, woman had not yet produced a master; and he then proceeded to point out the respects in which lay their peculiar excellence. The first of these were their powers of conversation. They furnished society with manners. The second attribute was their ceremonial nature.— They embellished trifles. An ox ran to the water when thirsty, or to his corn, regardless of obstacles, and said no thanks: but man delays; he paints the desired object all over with forms; he invented majesty, etiquette, courts, drawing rooms, architecture, dress, elegance, privacy ; he created dignities, the union of sexes ; and how should we better measure the gulph between the best intercourse of man, in old Athens, London, or our Amer ican capitals—between that and tho hedge hog existence of the diggers of worms and eaters of by signalizing just this department of taste er comeliness 1 yet herein woman was the prime genius and ordainer. There was no grace taught by the master ol manners, no style adopted in the etiquette ot courts, but was firt-t the action of some brilliant, who charmed the beholdera by this new expression, which man copied ; and he taught that we should magnify their ritual manners. There was no advantage without compensation. Woman was more vulnerable, more infirm than man. They could not be such elegant artists in the element of fancy if they did not give themselves to it. They were poets who believed their own poetry—they dwelt more than man in the kingdom of illusion. They admitted into their almosp'lere waves over waves of colored light, and they saw all objects through those warm tinted mists which envelope them. But the starry crown of woman, the throne of her affection arid sentiment, and the infinite enlargement to which they lead, was t!ie possion of loxo—painter and adorner of new and earlv life ; but none suspected, in its blushes ar.d tremors, what tragedies and immortalities were beyond it. Mr. Emerson then went on to show that as soci. ety had progressed,so had woman's position changed and improved; and concluded by saying that he did not think it yet appeared that women wish an equal share in publio afftirs. But it was they, and not we, who were lo determine it. (Applause.) If wo refused them a vote, we should rc fuse to tax them ; according to our Teutonic principles, no representation no tax. At all events, this uprearingof new opinions in many minds, was a wonderful fact. Whatever is popular is important as show, ing the spontaneous sense of the hour, for the aspiration of thin century will be the code of the next. A masculine woman was not strong, but a lady is. The loneliest thought, the poorest prayer, is rushing to be the history of a thousand years. Let us have the true woman, the adorner, the ceremonial, the hospitable, the religious heart; and no lawyer need be called iu to write the stipulations with cunning clauses of provisions and strong instruments.— Then, he ought to say, he thought it impossible to separate the education and interests ot the sexes. Improve and refine the men, and you do the same by the woman, whether you wilt or 90. The slavery of woman began when men were slaves of kings. The amelioration of manners had brought woman's amelioration, of course ; hence this huge desire-of better laws.— This new movement, he said, in conclusion, he looked at as a tio shared by the spirits of men and womeu, and they might proceed in faith, that whatever woman's heart was prompted to desire, man's mind was simultaneously prompted to accomplish.

An interesting incident is related of Dan Rice, the celebrated circus performer, in a late number of the Reading Gazette. It appears that some fourteen years ago Dan left Reading with an exhibition o! somn sort, which turned out badly, end involved the proprietor in difficulty. Judge liei. dendreicli, of Berks co., found him in this condition, gave him a suit of clothes, and lent him a horse and wngori, in order that he might pursue his Lu-iness. Dan was •till unsuccessful, end destitution soonovertook him again, while, to add to his distress, hi* wife was taken sick. In this dilemma he was forced to sell the horso and wagon, which the Judge had only loaned him, in order to rsise means to lake his wife home to I'iltsburg. Not long after this ho obtained a situation in one of the theatres of this city, where tho Judge one night saw end rccognized him, and in the morning called arhis lodgings. Dan was still poor and seedy, and fully expected reproaches, if nothiug worse, from his old pa'ron, but instead of these the Judge insisted 011 his going a second time to a tailor's, and being fitted out »t his expense.—To this, however, Dan would not consent, and lliey parted never meeting again, until a few weeks ago, when his company was performing at Reading, and the Judge came down to attend Couri. Dan's first du;y was to hunt up his old friend, and invite him to take a short drive about town, to which he consented, and a horse and vehicle were soou at the door. 8Cll A NT ON no USE TERMS OF WARRANTY.

It had but one vessel, the brig Advance. For more than u year back its fate hits been esteemed very doubtful ; and when last Spring it' was proposed lo send out a party lo search for it, the proposition met with fur less favor than its friends desired, because it was thought almost a settled fuel that Dr. Kane and his parly were past all hope of recovery. Congress, however, favored the proposition, and two vessels were dispatched on the search oil the 4th of June, 1855.— They havs found the lost searchers for Franklin, and restored them lo thousand* of surprised and rej Dieing friends. Since the third expedition's sailing, no news has been brought back of them, and we had not time to publish the steamer Union's report that the expeditionists were otf Sandy Hook, before thuy caine to anchor off the Battnry, and the gallant adventurers were withstanding as well as they could the overwhelming welcomes of their friends.
