The minister then made a most brilliant and forcible Suse lho between the things which this world calis great, and the graces of religion. He compared wealth with goodness, health with moral character. wisdom with purity of heart, &c , and then spoke of calamities being blessings in disguise to a true christian. Hethen spoke of the glories of the heavenly world in @ ifal and tonching manner; but, said he. hing that is visible to mortal eye can giv any adequate idea of its glory, and words break down in the description thereof; but what seems to me.’ said he “to be the thing most like Heaven is the heart of a good man, the joys that exist there, the hopes that are buoyant there,”* ete. Having spoken thus of the glories of Heaven, he ticed briefly his last point, viz: That these pre are sure to be fulfilled, because God bas given his word for it; for heaven and earth might pass away, or the laws of mature be reversed, or the earth retorn to its original chaos, sooner than one jot or tittle of his word should not be faltfilled. He then closed by exhorting his hearers to become partakers of the Divine life. Trinity Church.—In the morning, the Rev, Dr. Builer (rector) preached from the 2th and 13th verses of the 19th Psalm. The various sins of Which one might be guilty, the reverend gentle- man remarked, could said to be divided into three classes, viz: Sins of ignorance, sins of in- tirmity, sins of presumption. And this classitica- ten migbt be regarded as complete, because the ands of distinction were found in the very na- ef the human soul. The soul exhibited in- tellect, affection, and will. All were in a disor- dered and depraved condition. Blindness in the uode:s anding. perversity in the atfections, rebel- lion and obstinacy in the will. This was a sad, bat true description of failea man. In almost ali sins there was indeed a mixture of ignorance, infirmity, and presumption; but there were par- ticular sins due chiefly to the one or the other perverted portions of our nature, which might, with sutlicient exactness, be classed respectively as above In the evening, a strange minister preached from the I7th verseof the 2d chapter of Revela- ton St. Dominick's Church.—Bigh Mass was cele- brated at 11 o'clock, by Rev. Father McGrath. The congregation was addressed by Rev. Father Bokel, the pastor, from the gospel for the day— Jobn 16, 16—22. The exhortation was to masters and servants, upon their duties one to another Servants should careful to do the will of their masters in all things reasonable and not contrary to the law of God. Lf any of their master’s inter- ests are impaired or neglected by them; or oceur, they are vi ed in the sight of God. Masters are responsible for the spiritual interests of their servants. and should treat them with be- coming care. If from misfortune, or the dispen- sations of Providence, they have been compelled to go into service, it was not so ordered that those who are over them might treat them brutally. It is a crying sin; and in all probability many of the visitations of Providence upon wealthy fami- lies are in retarn for the ill treatment of those who served them. Washington Asylum —Rev.C. C. Meador, of the Islaud Baptist Church, preached from the 6th chapter of John, 37th verse— Him that cometh to me I will in wise cast out.’ The speaker cited the prodigal son asan illustration of the willingness of Christto receive all who are willin, to forsake their sins and come to Him, and urg: immediate attention to this important matter.

Cuvrcn Disturpens.—For several months past complaints have been made by the officiary of va- tious churches of the conduct of ths, some of whom were in the habit of standing about the doors and usin; Profane and indecent language; others were in habit of disturbing the worship of congregations by their conduct in the churches; others by breaking the windows while the ser- vices were in progress by throwing stones and ice through them. Three warrants have been served on youtas for an act of the grossest impro- priety at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, Ninth Street. The case will be tried this afternoon. W bat is most singular is the fact that in every in- stance where the parties have been discovered ey have proven to be sons of gentlemen of the highest respectability, and the respect of the cburch officers for theft, parents has saved ther from prosecution. An example of the severity of the law may deter others. A Severn Beatinc.—This morning, an old man, a stranger, was taken to the office of Justice Donn by an officer.
