The New York Albion furnishes a brief account of the important discoveries of Messrs Stephens and Catherwood, in Central America or Guatimala, as it was formerly called. Our readers are aware that the atten tion of the learned has been much directed of late, to the numerous and astonishing monu mental treasures that lie scattered about this vast region. The two gentlemen above nam ed have recently returned from an extensive survey of these ruin3, and are about present ing the result of their explorations to the public in a printed volume. In the mean time, in order to satisfy in some degree, the public curiosity, they have delivered several lectures on the subject, the general conclusions of which are presented in the Albion. The travellers proceeded from New York to the bay of Honduras, and, upon landing, their first halting place in the way of their task was Copan, the ruins in the vicinity of which were both extensive and magnificent. Mr Catherwood, on Wednesday evening, exhibit ed a drawing of a temple at Copan, which seems to have been upon an extensive scale, one front of it being in length about 230 feet and its side face about 10 feet. JThe mte I rior of the temple is laid out with all the skill and i5ard to convenience of the "ost prac ticed architect, and me exterior presenting an elaboration of ornament as well as refinement in sculpture, which altogether astonished the travellers, as in fact so did the drawing aston ish those before whom it was placed at the lecture. There were many single columns most elaborately wrought, the work was deep ly cut, and all in masterly style. From Copan the travellers proceeded to Kuirigui, where they found many monuments, chiefly of the same character as - those at Co pan, only the latter was much longer than those which were first visited. From thence they proceeded to Santa Cruz del Cuiche, to Guequetenango, to Ocosingo, to Palenque, and to Uxmal. The whole forming a circuit of nearly three thousand miles in perimeter, end the greater part of which was thickly stud ded with extensive ruins, all of which were perfectly analagous to each other, although the variations in extent, ornament, &c, were r-wm It t . t .t numerous. iney.were.au, evidently, tne labors of a people of common origin, of ap parently the same political, religious, and so cial principle, of the same habits and associa tion of ideas, and certainly far advanced in civilization and refinement. Innumerable square columns or obelisks of stone were found in the course of their investigations, all of which were carved on either side with hieroglyphics, or with figures of animals or human beings ; the former, in all probability containing legends, which if they could be de ciphered, would go far to explain the history of the people who had thus executed them ; and the latter executed with such regard to the due proportions of figure as actually to astonish the travellers, who had not the most remote expectation to find any branch of the fine arts in so forward a state. What added to their a-.toni.shment was the fact that all these monuments were found in the deepest recesses of forests of gigantic and closely planted trees ; a proof of their antiquity altogether irrefragi ble, as it must have required centuries to bring such trees to their maturity and enormous growth, and it must have been after those cities were ruined and gone to destruction that those forests were allowed to take root in their precincts at ail. These considerations, unaided by any other, must carry the mind back to a period of the world altogether start ling to think of. An erroneous notion has got abroad that these antiq iities, in the colossal magnitude of their parts, throw those of Thebes, Luxor, and other Egyptian monuments in the shade, and that the latter may now, " hide their dimin ished heads it is believed also that in ar chitectural elegance, as well as in extent, these American remains far exceed those of Balbec, Palmyra, or even ancient Babylon itself. These surmises receive no countenance from the accounts given by Messrs Stephens and Catherwood. The extent of the American monuments has rather regard to them as one mass promiscuously, and almost every where, spread within a circumference of three thou sand miles, than to the extent and magnitude of any one specimen or set of ruins ; and nothing but either a complete misunderstand ing of the true details, or an intense love of the marvellous could have brought about those false comparisons. But the most important point to be ascer tained is that of referring these monuments truly to any of those of the old world. At the first glance at sortie , of the more colossal figures, their costumes and their grouping, there tras for the moment a similarity to those of ancient Egypt, but the practiced eyes of our travellers soon corrected- the . momentary error of their thoughts. There was , not one of those monstrous heads which so essential ly belong to Egyptian mythology, religious rites, and occult writings ; the proportions of the figures were in very respect better than these before them, and nowhere did they find that inherent regard for great magnitude or peculiar position in the: statuary and sculp ture. The htgheroglyphics too, though scat tered everywhere, though homogeneous, were altogether different from those upon the Egyp tian monuments. From the intricacy of their designs, and from many grotesque sub jects of their sculpture, these monuments might be referred to a more oriental source thau-that of Egypt ; and the similarity seems to increase the futther they are referred to the eastward. China and Japan present many of the images and groups which are found on these Ameri can monuments, and although with much that is grotesque in the latter, there is also much that is beautiful and symmetrically correct, while in China and Japan, particularly the latter, the monstrous prevails in an exorbitant degree, there is really . much that is common to the east of Asia, and to the., west of Ameri ca. With data like those before us, then, the editor of the Albion asks, can there be much difficulty in fortifying that most received hypo thesis, that America was first peopled from the eastern part of Asia, the passage being made across Behring's straits? Where is the diffi culty m assuming the theory that mankind, continually radiating from the primitive seats of first creation, and advancing beyond pre vious confiues, should ' gradually arrive at the western shores of the Pacific, should people the islands there, should cross the narrow straits so narrow that at midway both shores may be seen from the same position should travel southward, and give a human popula tion to this continent ? , - Political. . - OMENS. A Dialogue between Neighbors A. and B. JYeighbor 3. It is widi feelings of deep and abiding regret that I reflect on past events of the late election, particularly as regards the Heaven-crying sins of Sabbaih day breaking, frolicking nud carousing, singing obscene songs, violating the sacred s ordinances of the Saviour of man pipe-laying, by which the solemn obligation that should bind rnau in his connection with the laws of God and man violated- ministers of the Gospel, em bassadors of the Prince of Peace, encourag ing processions, heading them, and carrying the badge of the order of intemperance who can pass these things by without calling to recollection, that the day when pipe-layers hat! performed their perfect work, when no doubt the awful violation of the sacred oath, con veyed itself to Heaven, and disapprobation declared, because we find a series of omens, passad in rapid succession, that filled many good men with awe and trembling for the salety ot the JNation. Neighbor 13. lou are right ; General Harrison, on the morning of his election, rode out suddenly he found the earth to sink beneath him, and only saved his life by leap ing eighteen feet from his horse. JVeighbor .3. True! and shortly afterwards the great chandelier in the Hall of Represen tatives came thundering down, and filled the forum with oil and sparkling atoms ! Neighbor 1). And the American flag next floated away from its halyards on the top cf the capitol, towards the Congressional burying ground. Then liberty lost its right arm in front of the Capitol. The stirrup fell from the old saddle in front cf the log cabin, and the eagle over the chair of the Senate dropped its scroll. So much for National omens. NeighUov Jl. The General left Cincin nati during the shock of an earthquake. A child that bore his name died as he passed through Chambersburg. Neighbor B. Yes, and the Banks sus pended as he entered Baltimore, and a terrible suowstorm ushered him into Washington. His portrait, which was placed besi-Je the other Presidents' fell from its nail in the li brary of Congress, and its rich and heavy gilding was dashed in pieces by the fall ! Neighbor -3. Further the line that held the flags upon which were traced the names of Harrison States, slackened and left its tail dabbled in mud and snow. Neighbor B. The day of inauguration dawned in gloom, the vast company looked cheerless, the levee was a rush of cormorants ; there pick-pockets were grabbed in the East room in the very act, and buffed off to jail. Neighbor A. The day of reception suc ceeding the inauguration was marked by a bitter storm. The cabinet quarrelled early about proscription, and the General left it in indignation. Neighbor B. The Steamer President started for England with the news of the in auguration, and has not been heard of since ! Neighbor Jl. A severe sickness now seized the old man. He sunk into inquiet slumbers, with office-seekers thundering at the door of his chamber but no admittance was given the string of the latch was pulled in. Neighbor B. .On Saturday morning, hours before his death, his tongue, that : -become crisped, became moist and pl. . and the physician that had been called in : day previous, informed him he was better -" You must cure., me pretty soon," said t old man with a smile, or wo shall all brct up in a row." ;. An hour, "and a chaug came over the spirit of his dream," memo: wandered in the hour of death, and he clos . ; his eyes, dim with tears, faintly murmuring he clutched with his bony fingers the blanket- , at this time he was heard to say, "M a REST ASSURED TOUR HUSBAND SHALL NOT " REMOVED 1 CANNOT I WILL NOT DO IT '"' Neighbor A. Awful indeed; but v-hr. think you of the oath taken by him nt Div'" in presence of assembled thousands, 'soh?i;. me Gcd, I will not proscribe men for opin ion s sake rune not it in his leaden cat :. Think you that the proscribed office-hol dir. wne, and tne cnattering ot ibe yofing motr.s; r teeth, as she passed into a fit, rung not i;. his solitary chamber ! Politician draw, near :;r; inighty's death bed, and learn a lesson of hu mility : Cormorant, approach your victim, r. ?. see the agony caused, by youi unhallowed in fluence. : The hollow hearted cabinet gather ed about his pillow Webster, the dark-br ov ed and sunken-eyed Granger, the cold her r' ed and remorseless Crittenden, the e!f satisfied .and . complaisant Bell, the, newly converted, and, therefore . the more magnani mous and Ewjng, the crony and cruel, were there. The doctor, bent his ear to the nitric: ho is dead a fair hand drew the sheet over the old man's head, and a band of strong men, without a tear upon the cheek, withdrew, arid- - eft the inanimate clay alone. . He was buried in all the pomp of earthly glory-the ; Cunute gun spoke in sorrow to the : minute gun- mo; muffled drum spoke low and the bell on the avenue nearest the President's House, tolled his knell and broke. - j ? . . , Neighbor B. Dreadful ! Scarcely ; was the old mau in his narrow chamber, before his house a North bend was wrapped in flames. j , - ? . . - JSeighbor A. Let us now look at his prime minister more especially at this time Web ster followed bis venerable father-in-law to the grave, but not until the chimpey cf. the D Ray, mansion bad been, blown down by tho wind, and the corpse had been disturbed by the rubbish. Neighbor B. in a few weeks the United States Bank failed. Yhat an awful lecture is all this. God re cognizes nations, as he docs the whole hnrriau family -reflect, on these omens let us ex amine ourselves, , and .enquire whether we have been among the instruments to biing about this awful displeasure of the Almighty ruler of nations let our reflections bo just, prayerful, and .divested from all prcyuci:e. Bear in mind the obligations of Sabbath keep ing. Also, bear in mind tho example of Webster and Clay. . Avoid it, and let late events be a lesson that sooner or lat;jr God visits his people, and will demand a settle ment of accounts. Prescriptive Spirit of the democratic Ad- mluistratlons Compared with the Present. In giving tfje history of the changes in tho head of the first Bureau of the State Depart ment yesterday, we omitted Mr Vail, who im mediately succeeded Mr Dickens. Mr YmH's promotion affords another instance of Gen. Jcckson's liberality to worthy men, opposed to his advancement to the Chief Mrrirtrpcv. Mr Vail was the protege ofa protein -v:. rff. and personal enemy of Genera! Je;.! .-on, Mr Crawford. He retained otn.e rhrc .he..; administration of Mr Ad.dns in etir.iojmyni by Gtr.'.'jit ! Ju;h tA promoted nf erwards as Secictury of Lo:;?;-?n to the London mission, and firallv ir-'t-je Charge, on the return of Mr Ynn Buren. On the election of Mr Dickons to the Set tc t-.rv-ship of the Senate, Mr Vail having rt'.yr :u-i to the United States, w-.is appointee l 'he first clerkship thus vacated in th-j Dcpn: itnv.i of Stale. From this post, Mr Vail i vanced to the Spanish mission, arid w... ex ceeded by Dr Martin iu the State Dlj oi: tnent. The ihtce gentlemen, thf.n, who prcc? .v. Dr Martin iu the first clerkship t;f the i .jt . Department, Mr Brent, Mr Dickens, ;i Mr Vaii, are standing witnesses of the toler ant spirit of General Jackson, and those v !. y administered the departmeut under him. N'v.. one of these persons were original friends .: General Jackson, yet all of ihec were i.z only tolerated, but advanced by Uirr. &ud friends. Mr Webster's commission was not maJU out before his sou wris inducted into the etneo of Dr Martin, and iustalled as " tinder Sec retary of State'1 before the upper secretaiy was fairly iu himself. And after Dr Martii. had actually received his dismission, as act ing Secretary of State, he was necessarily re instated for a moment, that he might 6ign Mr Webster's commission, and confer on hini legally and formally the power w hich had been so precipitately used as to bring in the subor dinate, before the principal by whom he was created the son, before the father. Great abilities impress the belief that tho possessor must be magnanimous men of great bodily strength are generally found to be forbearing. We expected from Mr Web ster, moderation and generosity iiri the exer ctse of his power as a leading member of tho Administration, not from his protestations against proscription before the election, (for he never kept his word,) but from the consid eration that an elevated intellect could not descend to petty, grovelling tyranny, mixed with selfishness.
