A reasonably quiet- week has passed away without any appalling railway disaster, steamboat explosion or other awful catastrophe. It has not befn, how ever, a week of inactivity with us. Much has been done doubtless of both good and evil. I will not chronicles any of the latter, for evil finds swift and ready tongues, and pens enough to . propagate it. Much has been done, that we may safely, call good:. A vastramount of well-organized and efficient ef fort has been put forth to arrest the onward march of sin, and its consequent suffering in our midst. There, are hundreds of institutions in New York, whose unostentatious charities seldom meet the eye of the world. -They operate silently, but surely they grapple ,with vice in its by-way haunts; they rescyfe the fallen, succor the helpless, feedfthe starv ing, clothe the naked, and not unfrequehtly redeem man from infamy and ruin. ' The silent, but resist less title of domestic benevolence flows through our city, and brings healing to many broken hearts, j There is a narrower aspect to my proposition yet one which makes a far more imposing show. I may call the progress of business and enterprize-p good ; and, indeed, it is so. Of this, the past week has exhibited a full share. Palace have risen, al most by magic, upon ground a few 'days before either vacant or encumbered by ill-sighted houses. The graceful spires of Gothic churches have sprung heavenward between the sabbaths. The " rise " of biick and mortar and marble, though not reported in the-prices, current of the commercial Gazettes, has been constant and remarkable. It seems but kyesterd.ay that I noticed the workmen busy at the foundations of the Lafarge House, on broachvay, and to-day the- cornice surmounts seven stones of ,niarble, fronting some hundreds of feet upon our great thoroughfare. The dome of the Crystal Palace, too, has been sprung over the chasm of its interior, and nqw the structure presents its elegant architectural propor tions to the eyes of a .vast multitude of visiters. -In .a month more, at - the "outside, the courts, and halls and galleries of our '" palace -of glass " will be adorned with the proofs of man's ingenuity and industry. I c.nnot tell you precisely when the impatient public will be admitted to. the great ex hibition ; but as a dii'j j regard will be had by the managers to an .effective .opening,; I do not think it may be safely anticipated before the middle of July I certainly hope) that since it was not within the compass of possibility to open the Palace upon the first of 'May, the directors will not fail iotake atrjpL' time.: to u open 'rich," if I may use a slang phrasu iti point. A -month or more of further postponement will be amply atoned' for by a first !" view, as nearly perfect as the nature of the case will allow. I. am sufficiently in the secrets ot the Pal av, to know that very rich, treat is in store for the public. It may hot be generally known that so gi:eat has been the" demand fori space by the ex hibiters. that although hundred have been unable to obtain it, so thronged will the Pahtce proper be, thai all the machiuei;v and various other parts 'of the exhibition are tolbe aceom ink-dated in ,a spa cious arc,ade erected close by the 'main building.' '1 shall not fail to give vour read as a full a!nd prompt account of what happens in the j)rogrtss ami outworking of this great enterprise. . .j . The new Bible House is quite' a prominent fea-. ture in "up town," New York. It stands. upon iau irregular area between tws streets and two aye--liii.-s, and covers an acre an'd h qnnrtor' of ground.

It is no mean tribute to the Kib! that one of the m's't imposing ed;rices upon the e'stern Continent is consecrate 1 to t'he'ue of those who love and rev erence anil promulgate it. . i . , . !

The book is a real treasure added to -the stores of Shaksp'erian Literature; for its corrections are ail eliminated 'from a recently discovered 'copy ; of the folio edition of Shakspeare published in . 1632 a reprint of the first folio" of 1623.

The theme is almost a new one, in! a pop ular aspect at least, and may well challenge the attention of all thoughtful men. I . ... . A charming book from the press of Tfcknor de Co. (Boston) is that entitled " Notes from Li by Henry Tavlor. The dramatist of a great nown has proved himself great in another eapac ty, that of the Essayist. These "Notes from Life" are remarkably graphic and suggestive ; full of keen insight into their themes, and of a genial philosophy in their unfolding. The same house, has recently completed in their own unsurpassed style of typography and g. nerai "getting up," the works of De Quincy, the En glish Opium Eater; one of the most brilliant, en tertaining and instructive of the English essayists. There are in all twelve volumes, and certainly no library is complete without them. I must commend a few books to your readers, somewhat n masse, for want of space to individual ize them. I would name "the Lives of the Hum boldts," republished by the Harpers; and the ad mirable edition of " Coleridge's Works" by the same house. Mr. Charles Sciibner has issued the first of a series of volumes by Madame Carlin, of Sweden, which will be scarcely less popular, I fancy, than those of Frederica Bremer. " One year of Wedlock" is the title of the first, and it is a story full of dramatic power, unexceptiouably pure, and replete with interest. But I must not trespass longer Upon thepatienc? of your readers, and hoping that I have not already quite exhausted it, I am theirs and yours as ever, COSMOS. ai wo hit PUBLIC MEETING.

This body convenced in this tow n on Tuesday the 17th instant, and adjourned on Thursday the 19th, after an interes ing meeting of to dars. Quite a lari;e number of Phvsiciaiis were in ai tendance from various portions of our State. About thirty members and delegates from the various County Societies were in attendance. Thp Society held its meetings in the Odd Fellow's Hall. The proceedings were harmonious and interesting. Valuable contributions in the shape of oral communications and written articles on diseases, were made to the Society; ly those in attendance. On Wednesday evening the -Annual Address before the. Society was d.-livered by Dr. James II. Dickson, of Wilmington, in the Baptist Church, before an in telligent audience of gentlemen and ladies. The sub ject of the Address was Inspiration. It evinced thought and research, and is highly spoken of by those more competent to judge of its merits than we s are.

Iiegisier. - Ice House Destroyed by Ligiijning. The severe storm of Wednesday evening was attended with dis astrous effects at Rockland Lake. A large ice house, the property of John D. Ascough & Co., containing about 12,000 tons of ice, was struck by lightning and set on fire. The ice in this house was of a peculiarly fine quality, and had been laid up In a previous year, very carefully p icked in salt, hay, sawdust. &c, The combustible character of these materials fed the fire undl the conflagration became so great as to illumine the atmosphere to an immense distance ; nor could the fierceness of the flames be arrested until the house was totally destroyed, one entire side of the1 immense structure falling into the river. We regret to learn that .the loss to the company will amount to full $40,000, on which no assurance had been enected. Of course most of the ice is lost, mu.-h being destroy- i ed during the conflagration, and stiUW rapidly melting under the smouldering ruins This, in the face of the a ready short supply in the market, will leave but a limited quantity for home consumption. For this, however, tnere is now no remedy, ana it is some comfort that the universal prosperity will enable all to enjoy the luxury, even though the price be una voidably enhanced. X. Y. Com. Ado. We learn from the Boston Transcript of the 14th inst., that Mrs. Mowatt arrived in that city on the 12th, accompanied bv Win. F. Ritchie, Esq., editor of the Richmond Enquirer. ' In fulfilment of a promise of lom standing, Mrs. M. will appear in the character of Desdemona, for the benefit ot Mrs. VVarner, tne ac complished English tragediene, whose severe indispo sition and many trials have greatly enlisted the sym pathy of the public. Mrs. Mowatt will not appear aain during this season, her own health not being quite re-established. In September she will commence a round of farewell engagements in the principal cities of the Union, and early in the spring she.will lay aside her stage attire for bridal robes, and retire to Rich mond to private life. Her last engsgement and final farpwell to the stase will take place in Boston, where also her nuptials with Mr Ritchw will be celebrated, Y r TV 1 4 NORTH CAROLINA . ITEMS.

Robert Mills, Esq.. engineer and architect," in a card published in the Union, intimates that an improved railroad en gine has-been perfected by him, that will be capable of running.' a mile a minute for any distance, and that he has nearly accomplished an improvement in the construction of railroads, by means of which this rate of speed may be made in safety. He anticipates, from ids improvements, the ability to cross the con tinent, frrom the Atlantic to the Pacific, in as many minutes as there are miles of distance. His improved road, he states, combines saftety of travel with. econ omy of construction. TnE Wr ATHEK and Scdden Deatus.
