Brooklyn Star Cricket Club. The first meeting or this association for Ihe season came off yesterday, on their ground in Myrtlj av enue. The weather was most unfavorable for the sport promised a gm.e of cricket between the members of Ihe club, a base ball game between the members of the Knickerbocker Club and a pedestrian match for some $20 between two aspirants for pedestrian Tame came off. Fire and Death. A fire occurred at Water- ville, Oneida County, N.

between 9 and 10 o'clock at night, destroying the premises or Mr Timothy Leonards. But the sad part or the calamity is, that Mr. Leonard, his wife, and a daughter of Mr. Woodard, about 12 years old, perished in the (limes. Their charred and shapeless remains were taken out or the rJins next morning.

Every soul in the house was burned. Avalanche. On Saturday last another avalanche occurreJ at the city or Troy, by which two men and a pair or horses were overwhelmed and lilled by the falling earth. A number of laboring men, who were digging aw iy the Lank, had a narrow escape. O.her avaUnche.

Webster. He inquired of Mr. Ingersoll whether he had not said if he had lived in the days or the revolution he would have been a Tory Mr. Ingersoll, I did Mr. Dixon.

And you had right to say so. And now will the gentleman tell me whether the head or the Stale Department, was not a member of Ihe Federal party during the war I Mr. Ingersoll replied Ihat he was, but that he was a young man at the time and, sir, aJded Mr. he never burned nnv blue Mr. Dixon inquired whether the gentleman alluded to the Stale of Connecticut Mr.

Ingersoll. No to certain individuals. Mr. Dixon said, whether the charge was made with reference tocil xens or to the Mate of Connecticut it was not true. Mr.

Ingersoll replied that Commodore Decatur, and not himself, was responsible for the cbirge. Mr. Dixon then went on to show the inconsistencies or the ndministrati parly upon the currency, tariff, and nullification, and alluded to the magaar.imily displayed by Mr. Clay in bring, ing forward Ihe compromise act.and thusraabliag tbe aullifiers to retreat without diihonor. Mr.

Bart, of S. said be was a member of the glorious band of a ad he denied Ihat Mr. Clay had relieved them from dishonor. Tkcy had slued their groan i nnnl they accomplished their parnse. Mr.

D.xon then rcsamej nnd spoke for nearly aa boar. The above it from the correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser. It is probable that Ibis personal tantrovcrty He has Ihcre, I am ippy to fmJ, a 'iniltej the truth of all Ihe items euibinced in my answer bul. as tlie unsettled waves of the ocean, his tn i 11 am.rar lo be un.taid und in hi I illing communication shows liimelf unw Truth a rock upon which Ihe urn lalioiis or this Republican Government should be based shall have the and in the cxercioe of its prerogative mete out to every cilixen of the state, without distinction of nobility, parly, piopci'y or complexion I qunlific ll.ose rights which the Ool of Heaven and the fathers of our country have lechred belong lo the in life, liberty, oud the ptirkuit of happiness." The rules if Democracy, I extend a pro-tecling hand in defence of the rights or all iu c.tizens. As soon as there are exception made among the members or Ihe body puli tie, giving some ciliz'-ns exclusive privileges over because they pisse-s more gold thoir liueage traced, finds them to have some or the blood u( the royalty or nobiiity oC either Europe, Asia, Africa or America, running in their xeint hav ing longer or shorter noses, more straight or curled luir, complexions more fiir or otherwise the whole system is thereby placed in jeopardy and unless proper steps are taken Tor the renu- val or the evil Tro the community, the delend- ers of royally anl nobility will ever taunt us with the epithets or p.litical hypocrites, and its final results prove a democratic death.

The gentleman, it his admission or the color ed people' fighting in the battle, or the country, tells us thnt Ihey performed their duty in common with the white defenders or their country." As he here makes the performance of lln-ir duty in the delcnce or their country common ground with the white portion or the population ol the country, (however some may have been Impressed, or led into the service through Ihe ties or personal attachment, which I have no doubt is equally applicable to some or Ihe whites,) the fact becomes established that they risked th' ir lives in defence of iheir country sained her liberties established her in dence, and nre thereby entitled to all Ihe rights and immunities due to American citizens. A Ihe gentleman is s.tisfied, without doubt, Ihat those colored veterans were honorably re. warded upon "the theatre where their services were rendered," and as it is Ihe pride of Demo-crocy, fur the establishment or the glory or its county, to publish the merits or her doings to the world's end, it becomes him tuereure 10 satisfy the mind? of the manv who nre doubirul ol the truth or his assertion, by naming some of those rewards bestowed. He would have us l. understand that it never entered into the spi rit or letter of the terms or llieir enlistment Ihat their reward should be the right oT suffrage, much less thai it should be claimed by the rest of llieir raep, and at the same time acknowledges ihm this was already possessed by them many or the states.

The statutes of ihe Stale of New York have always, in some measure, proved the truth "or this acknowledgement. Now il hritin or freedom and the terms or their enlistment They hive since been disfranchised in some or the slates in pait, and in others in whole, which I presume is portion or Ihe reward afforded lo them. The reason given why they were disfranchised. because the bulk or Ihe colored voters became Ihe pliant tools as clay in the hands of the potter to be moulded as suited Ihe corrupt views or a few ambitious and intriguing men, and a plenty or spirits were applied in kneading the mass." The approbation or such reasoning is dangerous lo the welfare of republican instt tutions. We find that the same complaint is made or a large portion ol the whiles on or ab ut nn election canvasss.

Let such a spirit or disfranchisement be circulated, bused upon such reasoning, and how soon would we see confusion and anarchy prevail iu the community. The -olored people, sir, have been wronged in disfranchisement, and borne it with patience, anticipating the day when the true feeling of the community in behalf of universal suffrage will be waked up in their lavor. JJut was it the case with many others who are equally, if not more, fashioned by the handsof the potter," we should, I fpar, see a worse slate ol things than that anticipated on the part of the colored people4 by your correspondent; as I feel sitis fied Ihat they of the whites who are rqualiy addicted to such conduct, would not be willing "quietly lo sink to that level in the ranks humanity which Iheir Creator intended fur Ihem I presume he means fur all such pliant tools." However many there may be, of either whites or colored, who are biassed in their opinions through Ihe intrigues ol political demagogues, yet I feel satisfied that there will always be a majority of better men of both classes of citizens in reserve, to save the country from reproach and ruin, without a resort to the rash act ordis- francisemen'. iemainacr to-morrow. GLEANINGS.

The Ferby Question. There should be no turnpike gates to obstruct the free intercourse with the city no bars put up at the intersection or public streets with the great national liirh-way, Ihe arms or the sea, known by the designation or Last River and Hudson River. No tax, says our bill of Riiits, can be imposed upon any citizen of this slate nnless authorized by the legislature thereof. No lax, says the tviprerae Court of the United Slates, can be assessed -upon steamboat passenger from New York to Albany. The same rrmciple applies to a tax npou shorter loutes.

There is no such thing as a public franchise in a free government and as to private franchises, thry rest upon the same sandy foundation. The charter of Governor Cornbery, made in 1708, was declared by Governor Montgomery, ia 1724. to have been doubted in consequence of noa-confirmation by the queen and Montgomery's charter shared the same fate, for George II. refused to confirm it, and the leris Ulure of the colony subsequent)- were apple to, and gave the act a legis alive sanction, which therrfi'cd stslntes. in 1S30 rep-aled.

and W'mshurg U.ad. Representation in the Convention. It to be a matter of doubt in the Legislature, whether the representation should be according to the old or new apportionment. After long debates on the subject, it being insisted by some that the intention of the Legislature was for the old and by some Tor the new, and that it as not in the power of the present Legislature to seme the matter by a declaratory resolution or otherwise the gordian knot was cut on Saturday, by the adoption of the following resolution, sub-milted by Alvah Worden, of Oneida, (Whig) Resolved, That Ihe bill relating to the appor nr Heleeaies to the convention be re ferred to Ihe Chief Justice and to Mr. Justice the Supreme Court, with a respect ful message from the Speaker of this Houe, re questing that they win commuiueaic lu.uiwiii.

i whether in their opinion the dele- ho plmsen to the convention under the last session, be according to Ihe np porli.mment of the present members ol the Legis-lature, and whether Ibis Legislature have any nlier or amend the law and with the the qnestion hereby submitted; and tiial the judicium mmmitlee, if it shall become necessary repirt a bi I in co iTormiiy with the opinion o( the judges on this subject. The resolution passed by a close voto, 57 lo 55. We think it probable Ihat Ihe new apportion-ment will prevail. The Albany Evening Journal or Saturday has the following! The Apportionment Question. The Assembly look up the Convention Apportionment hill in earnest last evening.

A sketch of the will be found in our columns. The Whig membcis of Ihe House, sustained by such of the political ir.ajoiity as were willing lo abide by a law which the people had sanctioned, stood by their guns manfully, and after an earnest and protracted struggle, succcded in set. ding the question to Ihe Supreme Court. What we cannot but regard as the right in this n.aUerk was ably sustained by Messrs. Hajner, Smith, J.

Young and Worden. The latter gentleman was truly effective and eloquent. brushed away the sophistical and cob web reasoning ol those who smihl to do injustice. Ontario, though she has had many distinguished men in the Assembly, is never more triumphantly vindicated than by Mr. Worden last The question is now with the Supreme Court.

This is Ihe appropriate apfeal for the construction of iaw. Doubtful position Nice distinctions. Mr. Robert Taylor, of N. York, wa first nomi nated by the Native American Parly, as their candidate for Mayor, which nomination he de clined.

He was alterward nominated by me Whig Parly, which nomination he accepted. He now addresses the public through the Tribune, in orier to coriect erroneous statements, and ays: The Whig Mayoralty Convention waited on me, at my residence, on mc rvr mnx ui mc inst. and the Chairman, J. De Peysler Ogden, announced to me that Ihe Convention in selecting a candidate Tor Mayor, had been governed by the principle which had led to a separation of our Charier F.lection from Ihe General Election, and had unanimously nominated me as a candidate, with a desire to have i.ur cilv coverninenl administered without rercrence to State or National politics that although the nomination was made by Ihe Whig Party, it was made in consequence oflhe confidence they felt hat Ihe nominee, il elected, would discharge the dnt.ranf MaTorwith reference lo the interests cf tie whole community, instiai 01 lamering the purposci of any party. It it much to be regretted that the nomination of Mr.

Taylor had not emanated from an W- pndttit body, borne the mirptndtiU name, whereby all parties might have united in his election. A it is all probability the II Aig name will cause hi defeat What in a name will not be asked by a politician all all, depends oa a name and a position.
