Trinity Church—In the morning, the Rev. Dr Botler, rector, discoursed from Ist Corinthians, !i5—** Charity never faileth; but whether there be prophecies, they shali fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowl- edge. it shall vanish away.’ A man’s character wes indicated by the bent of hisaffections. When they knew what a man loved, they knew what he was. If be loved that which was evil, base and low. they knew that he was bad; and so the re- verse. A man’s hen emge also depended upen the state of his affections, and not upon his intel- leet, genius, place, fame, or Weaith, as many imigbt at first thought beled tosuppose. If he be destitute of affections, or if, having those which ere at the same time warm and low, he fixes them upon insufficient and impure objects be cannot be happy. Man's moral character depended upon his conscience and his will, but his npon the nature of bi deed was but the ou! affection; they could not conceive of affection as springing only from love. From genius beauty might be berp; from success pride and compla- cency might arise; from the conscience remorse of peace might come; but only from love coula happiness proceed. fn fact, happiness was but another name for love—iove which was right in itself, the objects on which, and measure and macaner in which it was displayed. Where there ‘was such love there must bappiness. Love, thea, was the soul’s glory, aud happiness the crowning grace. The elevation and happi- ness of a soul depended upon the purity, intensit) disinterestedness and instinctiveness of its love. This was indeed a precious truth for humble souls, and they should feel grateful that It wasso. Love was the end, of which faith and hope were only » and therefore the greatest of the three As it was the end, and they but the means, it id remain while they passed away. But it be observed that it was the Divine and holy leve alone to which the words of the text referred. In examining the characteristics of this deserip- tion of love—t vad heaven-born love—they found that {t iad its first and fullest joy in God bimself, who was alike its author and its great object. It was complacency established; it was gratitude for bis goodness. Surely this part of their nature, which was to aurvive after death this Which contained many of the other yraces which were given to it on earth as that alone which was permanent and imperishable, weil deserved to be cultivated and to be vigorous and pure. It was the very beginning of Heaven. it was essentially the same, for in Heaven it must bave the same objects, and be the same in character as it was on earth. Hence the common expression, « Grace is but glory begun’ This charity never faileth, but there wasa love on earth which must fail— and that was the affection of human bearts for each other, which depended on merely human relations, the growth of theif sensitive natore, which could be exercised only in connection with the present constitution of things, and which, therefore, from its very nature must fail, because the nature through which it sprung would be broken up and changed. and the objects upon which it bad been exercised removed, and the entire system of things on which it now depends destroyed. He then proceeded to exhort his hear- ers to strive to display this holy love, which would lead them toa heavenly rest, where the’ would tind worthy objects on which they coul forever bestow it, and from whom they could re- ceive the same Foundry Chapel —At U1 a. m., Dr. Edwards address-d an attentive audience, from Genesis, 1.17— I am the Almighty God; walk before me. and be thou perfect’? “The speaker began by stating that the great duty or motive to obey God is here drawn from his character as an Almighty being. He then proceeded to make a practical use of the truth recorded in the text, from the fol- lowing considerations: First. It should deter us from sin; from sin as considered in oppo Ged. No sin should be considered a: ce it is in opposition to an Almighty God; and since every sin, whether of thought or deed, is in tion to God, therefore it incurs his dis- , and should be constantly shunned. The van! potence of God is a great reason why we should not offend Him, and creation is one of the greatest motives why we should serve him. In second place, the truth recorded in the text assure us that the duties assigned by God rea pects, or such as can be performed Even though seas of affliction und persecution lie in our way. God will cause their waves to sepa- Tate, and afford us a safe passave through them; enemies shall be made to fiee before us, and messive walls of hindrance shall be made to tumble at our appearing. In short, if we trust in God we shall be able to conquer all difficulties. The trouble with us generally is this, that we too often create in our minds ditticulties that do not in really exist. For instance, we imagine that we see some impassable mountain fn our roid, and in § imaginary view give up in despair; whereas if we wonld keep on our journey, relying on God according to promise, the rough places would be made smooth, and we wonld be enabled to go on Our way rejoicing. Finally, the truth contained here should ratify our faith, so as to give it all the force of » motive to obedience. Dr. E., after dwelling for some time upon this point, spoke of the path of duty as being the only path of safety, and exhorted bis hearers, for this reason, to follow it always, although it may sometimes lead rough pleces and up steep and rugged bills, and though we may sometimes bave to battle with fierce enemies. Nevertheless, if we take for our motto, “onward and upward,” and do not turn eff to the pleasant (looking) paths of sin and folly, © Shall come off more than conquerors, and ke sure our road to heaven St. John’s Lutheran Church, (German,) Four- end-a-belf street, Island. —The Rev. Mr. Schlegel prevcbed yesterday his first anniverssry sermon, iu which he detined the duties of ministers ana people, reading from the Prophecies of Isaiah and Ezekiel, as also from the fast of Hebrews. Ja connection with this young congregation are some forty or fifty families; there is also a Sunday sehool, conducted in the morning in German and in theafternoon in the English language.

The debt of the church las been reduced between seven and eight hun- dred dollars, besides improvements upon the church to the — of several hundred dollars pen the whole, the pastor feels eacouraged in this interesting field of labor. The German popu- lation of our city being large, there yet remains much to be done. MM. P. Church. Navy Yard —Rev.

As Christians are made coworkers with the Father and Son in the conversion of the world, we should at all tines and under all circumstances pray ardently and earnestly, with faith, that the mind that was in Christ Jesus may be fn us.

ExaminatiOn.—The examina- tion of the male and female departments of the Third district School took place on Thursday and Friday, the 13th and 14th insts. Inthe male deportment, the number on the roll is 13; present at examination, 40. The studies are spelling, reading ,writing from dictation with punctuation, mental and written arithmetic, grammar, yeogra- phy, and history. There were present on the part of the trustees, Messrs. Randoiph, Ironsides, Fort, Willett, Walsh, Miller, and McKnew; also a number of teachers of the public schoo rents of the Eee, and friends of edu. : The examination was conducted by the vis ing: trustees, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Sampson, Presi- dent of Columbia College, and gave entire satis. faction to the examiners and visiters. At the close of the exercises, Messrs. Miller and Ironsides ad- dressed the school in a manner a propriate to the occasion, and encouraging pigiss pupils. The examination of the female department of this school (Miss Boggs, teacher) was very interesting. In addition to the gentlemen present at the ex- amination of the male department on the day previous, we noticed an Increase of two lady teachers, Mr. pe br of Georgetown, and a num- ber of parents of the young ladies and friends of the school equal to two or three times the capacity of the room Such was the press of visiters that the trustees were obliged to examine the classes in their seats, and in many instances to do Ly injustice. In addition to the studies in the male department, Miss Boyes hasaclass in algebra, and one in physiology; these classes acquitted themselves in a manner bighly laudable to tescher and pupil. The classes in reading, writing from dictation, with punctuation and s Hing, were exceilent. The examination asa whole was pro- bably unsurpassed by any fn the city. AN Unpreasant Ixer tT.—Yesterday, two young ladies came from Virginia ina buggy to visit tueir friends in this city. ‘The buggy was an old-fashioned one, with the top extending far over the front, cutting off the view of what was ng, exceptin front. While driving slowly y the corner of Second street and Massachusetts avenue, they were suddenly surrounded by an excited crowd of persons, some cr: ing “take them out,” and others interfering in their bebalf. The matter being explained, {t appeared that their wheel had p: over a child. which was laying in the street, and bruised its arm slight- ¥. In obedience to the suggestion of some of the leas excited, they drove to the office of Jus- tice Johnson, foliowed by a host of persons Jus- tice Johnson heard the statements, and decided to dismiss the case, so far asthe United States was concerned. Captain Goddard was called, and he also decided that no case could be main- tained by the Corporation The young ladies were very respectable, and the accident occurred from no indiscretion cf theirs. One of the wit- nesses who testified in their favor, a female, was threatened when on her return home. She har- Ea to be a spirited woman, and her reply peing ominous of il! to her assailants, they re- turned to yet a warrant, but did not succeed in having her arrested.

Those citizens who lament the nt dormant state of our ancient and respectable burgh, antict- pating nothing bright or promising in its future, Seem to overlook the existence of many successful manufacturing establishments in our midst, and to ignore facilities which, cot pened improved and taken advantage of, would make our city a second Rochester or Lowell, Why not? Weare not far removed from regions teeming with min- eral and vegetable wealth; we bave ample water power; a healthy location; a noble river, navi- gable by vessels drawing 15 feet of water; and a canal which, under bad management, or no mai agement at all, ‘with all its imperfections on its head.” next best thing to a railroad, and, if properly managed, might made a source of unbounded po and ae y to our commu. nity. Besides. we believe that time Is soon to come when we will bave one or more railroad connections, and if we fail to secure a fair share of the resulting benefits, none but ourselves will be to blame Ifasked where are the successful establishments referred ty zbove, we can proudly potut to some balf dozen capacious grist mills, fitted up with all the modern improvements, some with ma- chinery manufactured in our city, and all capa- ble of turning out large quantities of flour; to Daval’s iron foundery and machine shop, where some of the most delicate and finely-tinished castings required in the Treasury extension are made, and where machines and engines are con- structed and sent to the most remote sections of our country; to the Pioneer Cotton Mills, giving constant employment to a large number of male and female operatives; to the tanneries of Mr Eliason and Mr. Coxe, where nearly 2.000 cords of tan-bark are annually required; to tee planin; and sawing mills of the Messrs.
