Ti»« Foeiiic  Railroad Meeting in New York.
On Friday evening last a well attended public
meeting was held at Cooper Institute for the pur
poso of presenting plans for tho construction of
tho Pacific ltailroad. Samuel llotaling, Esq.presided. Ex Governor Boutwell was expected to be
present, but was unavoidably prevented. Addresses were made by Messrs, llotaling, Per ham,
/. C. Lovejoy and Horace Greeley. The latter
said bc had uo particular lino lo recommend. He
was a friend to the project, which, if properly
carried out, would he profitable. The whole line
of the Pacific Railroad would be run through public lands, which, from the Missouri to Sau Francisco, would be two thousand miles. In many of
the railroads of the country the expenditure required to overcome great obstacles amounted to
$75,000 a mile, while thc outlay to tlie laborers
was not more than 325,000. Along tbo Pacific
routo the lino presented no serious obstacles, for it
would bo carried principally through the level
plains. There was, however, a dearth of timber
along the line, which certainly was a matter ofre-
gret iu connection with the undertaking. But
there was plenty of timber on the Rocky Moun
tains, and thc rivers flowing therefrom to the Missouri were remarkably straight. In this manner
the want of timber might be obviated, for timber
from the Rocky Mountains could be drifted down
Ihe Arkansas to the Missouri.
Takiug uvcrythiug into consideration, ho felt
satisfied that tho line would be cheaply laid down,
aud tbat a remunerative return would be made for
the amount expended. Leaving tho advantages
to bo immediately derived from tho line, ho was
convinced that in a short time tho road would
considerably aid tho commerce of tho United
States with Japan and China. Keeping tbe con
•idcrations to home advantages, he could still look
to a great benefit from the line. During tho year
1859, eighty thousand people passed from the Atlautic States to California. Now, as time ad-
Tauced and as population increased, tho ratio of
traffic would bu continually increasing. He had
no doubt that in tbe lirst year from the opening of
of the lino, one huudred thousand people would
travel over it between California and tho Atlantic
States, which, at one hundred dollars per head,
would give a revenue of ten rnillionsof dollars.—
But there were other sources of revenue from such
a line, if laid down, wbich people had no idea of.
These sources of revenue would arise by branch
lines from thc Pacific line to the Washoe mines
and Pike's Peak, aad other quarters in tbo direction of tho mines. Tho local travel in this way
would pay for 100 miles, and the local travel of
tbo other 900 miles to Utah would also pay fur
that distance of tbe :ine. In Utah, ho was con-
gold and -silver aud other precious minerals, and
which would attract thousands and thousands of
people in a very few years. The Pacific line would
give a great impetus to mining speculations; con-
mjnently, tho greater the impetus and tho ft: iii-
tics of travel, tho greater would bo the benefit to
be derived from such a line. In this way, too,
would the city of New York, beyond all other
cities or quarters ol the country, be benefited ; al!
parts of lbe country would he benefitted, but New
York particularly, and therefore it was that be
was desirous to have tbe project thoroughly canvassed, aud lo sea it commenced as quickly as possible. 	
Despise nothing because it is weak. Tho flies
and locusts have done more hurt than ever the
bears and lions did.

A document connected with the early history
lof tbe colony o*' Rhode Island, for which the
[most diligent search has been repeatedly made In
the British State Paper Ofiice, has just come to
light, being no less than the commission given to
Governor Godilington, by Cromwell, in the year
1050, together with the proceedings connected
therewith. By those familiar wilh our early history, it will be remembered that the towns of
vidonce and Warwick sent Roger Williams to
England to solicit a confirmation of their charter
privileges. In the meantime tbe colonies of Ply-
aouth   renewed  their   dispute  with tbe Commis-
ioners of the  United   Colonics about Warwick,
nd the former were on the point of taking forcible possession ol itii thc people refused to sub
mit to tiieir jurisdiction. This is supposed to have
led to the sending of Mr. Williams to England to
defend t'ie rights of this colony. Mr. Coddington
had also gone to England to look after his own interests, and in 1051 returned with a commission
from thc Eon] Protector ar, G ivernor of the colony, with extraordinary powers. What these powers were uo oue knew until Coddington began to
•xercise tbem. It seems, however, from thc colonial records, that they gave great oil'eiise.and that
Newport aud Portsmouth "declined and fell off
from the established order of civil government
.ml incorporation, in couscyi.n.uiceof Cuddiiigtoirs
ommissinn ;■'' ami that John Chirk wns appointed
gout of the island towns to proceed to England,
in order to procure a repeal of Coddington's commission. Tbis commission gave tbe colony great
trouble, and in the colonial records, uuder date of
1656, we find the following :
WifEHEAB,    There   wero    certain     transactions
hich were doue in ye time of Mr. Coddington,
his government, and stood in our books ot record,
hich might seem prejuditiall to himself or others,
bung much considered in ye case,   this  Courte
>t thinkingo it fitt to   meddle   with  it, ordered,
lat it should be cut out of our books, which was
done, and then delivered to Mr. Coddington.
It is ordered, that, whereas, there are divers
presentments standing uppon a booke of records,
(belonging to ye Island,) against Mr. Coddington,
these presentments shall not be, any of tbem,prosecuted, except by order from liis Highues ye Lord
Protector.
It thus appears that everything that was on the
records relative to this transaction of Governor
Coddington, waS'expungcd. His commission has
never been found, nor has any one been able to discover in England any record of tbe transaction or
copy of the commission.
A distinguished historian of Massachusetts has
been more fortunate in his researches in  England
than tbose who preceded him,   having succeeded
finding   among   tbe Admiralty papers in the
Slate Paper Ollice not only tbe commission of Coddington, but the proceedings before the committee
tbe   Admiralty,   where,   during tbe reign of
Cromwell, all business connected with  foreign
plantations was referred to the Council of State
This precious document has been sent to a gentleman in Providence by the historian referred to, to
be presented to the Rhode Island Historical Soci
ety, on condition that tbey put it in their collections, otherwise it is to be returned to the owner.

Twinkling of feet in tho mazy danco ;
Hearts that knew nothing of eare or fear,

Went up as the merry jest was told ;
Little recked they, iu the noisy rout.
That a woman was dying thut night in   tho cold.
Yes, freezing to death in tbe midnight air,
In a city whose church towers darken the sky ;
Dying, with no oue to murmur a prayer,
No ono to close up the quivering eye.
'Tis a curse on humanity, bitter and deep;
A shame on us Christians,  whose  faith is divine.
If we suffer our charities idly to sleep,
And give beggars thc lees when we've drunk off

Columbus died «w»i---- " - . ■• --■- --
150C, in about the seventieth year of his age. His
obsequies were celebrated with great pomp at
Valladolid, aud hia body deposited in the convent
ol San Francisco. Thence, nine years after, in
the year J515, it was removed to the OarthosiaD
monastery of Seville, where was likewise deposiU
ed the body of his son Diego. -Twenty-three years
after, in the year 1530, the bodies of both the Admiral and his eon were removed, with appropriate
pomp and ceremonies, to tho new world he had
discovered, and interred in thc principal chape! of
the city of San Domingo, Hispauiola. There,
they remained undisturbed for the period of 259
years.
Iu the year 1795, however, at the close ofthe
war between France and Spain, all the Spanish
possessions in (he island of Hifpauiola were ceded
to France, whereupon a request waa preferred to
the French Governor to bave thc remains of Columbus removed to Cuba. The request was grant
ed, and on the 20th of December, 1795, the vault
in the Cathedral of Sau Domingo was, fjr the first
time in nearly three hundred years, opened.—
'•Within," says tho record of the event, "were
found thc fragments of a leaden coffin, a number
of bones, and a quantity of mould, evidently the
remains of a human body. Those were carefully
collected and put into a case of gilded lead, about
half an ell in leugfh and breadth, and a third in
height, secured by an iron lock, thc key of which
was delivered to tlio Archbishop. The case was
enclosed in a coffin, covered with black velvet and
ornamented with lace and fringe of gold."
After appropriate funeral ceremonies, the body
was taken on board thc ship San Lorenzo, aud
taken to Havana, whero it arrived on the 15th of
January, 1796. It was received in the most
solemn manner, with all the honors given to a sov
ereign. "On arriving at the mole, the remains
were met by tho Governor of the Island, accompanied by his geuerals and military staff. The
coffin was then conveyed between files of soldiery,
which lined the streets, to the obelisk, inthel'lace
d'Armcs, where it was received in a hearse prepared for the purpose. Ilere the remains were formally delivered to the Governor and Captain General of the Island, tho key given up to him, the
coffin opened and examined, and the safe transportation of its contents authenticated.''
The ceremony concluded, the solemn rites for
tbe dead were performed by the Archbishop, and
tbe remains of the great discoverer wero again
deposited io the wall, on tho right side of the
grand altar of the Cathedral of Havana, where
they have ever since remained, the object of reverence to all visitors of the Island.
Nothing can be said against any honors that
may be done, on the occasion of opening a new
cemetery in Havana, to the memory of one so illustrious. The erection of a stututc would certainly be very appropriate. But wby agaiu disturb tbe bones of tho great discoverer? They
now rest in a consecrated place, a building whose
walls have only become firmer as Ihey grew gray
with years, and which proof, so far as anv edifice
can bc proof against the elements, gives every
guarantee of protection ; and why should the
mortal remains of the great Admiral be not allowed, then, to rest at last in peace?
Ex-Presidnnt Van Bureu is at present in New
York on a visit to his son. "Prince Jolin,'' at the
residence of the latter, 256 Fourth avenue. The
Sage of Kinderhook, accompanied by the Prince,
visited some of the law courts yesterday, and exchanged courtesies with several ofhis acquaintances. He is looking hale and healthy, and as
youug as wheu we saw him teu years ago.
prince of Saxe Coburg  and Gotlia possessed all tli>
points. It was said that tbe queen manifested a penchant  for Lord  Elphinstono,  but objections being
raised to such a marriage,  ho received the government of Madras, to get liim out of Lho way. On the
Queen's union witb  Prince  Albert, it was proposed
to give bim an income of ,£00,000, but on tho motion of Joseph Hume, it was reduced ono half.  Tho
young couple  started iu life   with a mutual income
of $650,000.    Itwas  not too   much; they brought
up their family on it without Calling for a separate
allowance for any of thcrn.    Mr.   Siddons described j
the coronation and enumerated the remarkable men
there  assembled,   telling  an  anecdote  of .Marshal
Soult and Lord Hill, old foes, who met on tbat occasion.    He then depicted  a day  in the Queen's life.
She rose  at half past six  in summer, seven in winter, and always walked abroad, returning to morning
prayers nnd   breakfast,  at which  she ato   heartily,
and subsequently spent half an hour ia the nursery.
She next received the master of tbc household, and
decided what invitations should bo accorded fbr the
day, and then visited her aviary, menagerie, aquarium, or stables.    Sho was passionately fond of horses
and a good  rider.    At eleven  sho  accorded  audi-
enco to the Secretary of War, tbe Home and  Foreign  Secretariesi at  twelve  she received general
visitors; lunched at one,  when sbe   drank Alsop's
pale ale.    At three she entered her carriage, or rode
on horseback, cither visiting or on soma errand of
charity.    An anecdote was related of her kindness
and liberality toward Mrs. Warner, the actress. The
Queen gave a medal  to Florence Nightingale.    Returning from her drive or ride her majesty dined in
state, which was rather a dreary allair, no conversa*
tion being   allowed.    But  that  over, etiquette was
dismissed; in  the drawing room the Queen   played
on the piano, and indulged  in Ccrman games.    At
11 she retired. The Queen appeared loud of American ladies;   the lecturer knew  tho  wife ofa  New
York editor who bad da iced in the same quadrille
witb lier.    Of tho Prince of Wales a very erroneous
impression prevailed.    He was neither dull nor stupid, but  a  youth   of tbe  noblest  disposition,  and
splendidly educated.    Like bis mother, be appeared
rickety and delicate in youth; it was feared that he
might not survive.    He carries his head a little on
ono Hide  now.    IIo spoke  French, Ccrman, Italian
and  Spanish   with fluency,   besider  being a good
Greek and Latin scholar.    IIo  was well acquainted
