YORK HERALD. Phianthrophic Annual Drama, held in the city of New York.—The Fourteenth Anni- versary of the Seamen’s Friend Society. The first scene in the first act of this most impor. tant and momentous drains, was presented to the New York public last might at the Tabernacle.

And several extra seats were provided for and filled by young and beautiful women all round and close up to the Reporter's table—all of them handsomely dressed, and most attentive and anxious listeners from first to last. And all round the front row of the gallery semi- circle, was one unbroken line of young and well dressed women; and a most lovely picture they presented. At the back of the speakers the whole of the orchestra seats were filled with a very fine choir of handsome young men and women, who rang two or three pieces of music, in a most admirable and thrilling manner; partictlarly the exhilirating hymn sung just previous to the reading of the report of the Executive Committee. On the platform was the Hon. Benj. F. Butler, Dr. Bethune, and several other distinguished characters. The place much better lighted than usual—better ventilated—~all were able to obtain seats, although the place was quite full; the accommodations for the reporters were most admirable—the readers and speakers were au- dible and distinct, and altogether it was one of the most interesting occasions that have eyer been pre- sented in this city.

During the past year there had been subscribed $7,762 82 cents—for the general purposes of the society $13,099 7 cents, making a total of $20,861 89 cents, exceeding the amount contributed last year, $10,158 61 cents. The cor- nerstone of the new sailors’ home in New York, which was laid on the Ith of October, has heen completed, and is now in successful operation.— Within four years, according to past experience, this establishment would have accommodated 16000 sailors, who would have saved $60,000, one thou- sand of them would have been strictly temperate, and six hundred of them would be in Heart and in life the followers of the Lamb. The whole expense of erecting and finishing this “ Sailor’s Home,” in- cluding the cost of the lot on which it was built, has been $40,000. On those who appreciated the im- portance of such an undertaking, the directors must rely for $15,000 to meet their present liabilities. To the ladies of New York, Brooklyn, Orange count New Rochelle, Bushwick, and other places, the I rectors were bound to express their most grateful acknowledgements. ‘* God bless the ladies ?” said a sailor, as he laid his head on his pillow in the Sailor’s Home, “ thanks to the ladies tor their kind- ness!” and he spoke the honest feelings of a thou- sand hearts. There were now at least six hundred pious sea captains and more than ter times that number of praying sailors, Five thousand seamen had during the past year joined the New York Ma- rine Temperance Society, and there were the most cheering evidences that the Society had been bles- sed in being made the means of bring many sea- mento the “ trath as it is in Jesus.” The Rey. Mz, Sewall of South Carolina, was then in. troduced, and sj as follows: Mr. President,—Perhaps in the whole course of my life —I mean of my ministerial life—have I understood more fully the importance of the following passage of Scripture. “The fear of man bringeth a snare?’ "I understand it now expressly. It isalmost a sin, and certainly one grown grey in the ministerial service should be un; der any circumstances intimidated. But atime ofjeopard- ation has seized ne, that has produced u palpitation, and that mightinduce frustration. Is is one thing, Sir, to take aseat in your closet, and inthe retirement to string toge- ther your reflections in consecutive order, and itis an- other to rise before an audience like this, and to shape and form these reflections into words; and many may do the former who would be unable to do the latter. My idea onthis subject has been graphically expressed by Cowper in these lin “ Sometimes we think we coulda speech produce Much to the purpose, if our tongue were loose, But when y it dies upon the li Faint as a chicken’s note that hath the pip.” The Committee of Arrangements will bear me witness that I consented very reluctantly ippear before you, but when I found a difficulty in getting off I desired to lead the rin front.

Tcan distinc tly when sailors were sent adrift not only upon the high seas, but also from charity ifnot from the church: but ne by. A short time ago I leston to Baltimore, and I J ristain, end that several ofthe sailors were Christians also. And that was a happy crow, we had a southern breeze and swept smoot hly over the ocean; and on the Sabbath we all collected on the quarter deck, and there we worshipped God. Time was there was no home for the sailor but the forcastle: now, blessed be God, they have another castle in this City of New York. { visited this castle this afternoon; I saw there the reading room,the religious new spapers,religious books, and the Bible, that glorious book. 1 saw also their comfortable lodging rooms, and my heatt rejoiced to see it. I saw, too, the place where their provisions were pre- pared, and better bread, sir, Qveex Vierorta herself need hot desire to eat. Every ‘thing there was neat, every thing comfortable. I have regarded sailors, sir, as the link which connects shore with shore, continent to conti- nent, and world to world. I recollect a riddle which I knew when I was a boy ich said, “ The most used and least thought of,” and i have sometimes thought this c lass of the community—sailors I mean—-were of the most use but leastthoughtof, We are, however, waking up to this subject—perhaps we are not quite awake yet, but the vi not far distant when we shall be. Who could fir ten to the facts detailed in the report, and doctrines put forth in it, without expecting thi ational distinctions seem to be lost. Denominations al distinctions also are lost; and this reminds me of a fact which oceurred near the borders of Canada, duri f the last w There was a camp meeting,and British and American soldiers were both there, ‘There was a ridge pole put up to separate them and red coats were at one side, and blue coats at the other, The services commenced and the Binur was read fwhen some of the redeoats pressed among the blne and blue pressed among the red, and very shortly the pole was thrown down entirely, and blue and red coats mingled together like kindred drops. [t is hay ina to think that the watchmen on the walls of Zion, see with one cye over the whole world. Denominational distinctions eught to be last in an enterprise like this, and I hope the period is not far distint when every ship ‘shall be a little Bethel, hymns of praise shall resound from every ship. Where, instead of pointing hostile cannon at each other, captains aud sailors shall hail each other as brethren in the Lord, sailing on the voyage to the portof endlessday.

The Church hip—it is on the oe with all sail fpread—with a gale blowing from the bowers of blise—and side is as deep in the mud as the other is in the mire, and that both parties are steeped to the eyes in election frauds. This will cause the worst nd most bitter feeling to exist when the two par- ties come to meet in the City Hall; and the proba- bility is that there will be a row, and that the city will be disgraced. itis true, that so far as matters have as yet been developed, the evidence of the frauds of the loco- focos at the last election, has been furnished solely by the testimony of convicts; but that does not prove that these frauds have not taken place. On the contrary their testimony, and the manner in ey were used first by one side, and then by only shows that both parties are in an te of degradation and demoralization. , bribery, corruption, false-swearing, z voters to come from Philadelphia, cheating, lying, swindling, cursing, fighting, letting convicts out | to vote, these are the characteristics that «ignalize both the great political parties in this city, io regard to their elections; some of the fatal fruits of which will doubtless be developed to-day.

In short no one can tel! what the result will be,although all fear the he other haad, whilst this state of things is on in the Common Council, and blows, and fraud, and corruption, and demoralization, is pre- vailing among our politicians to the highest extent, a mectiag of another strange and extraordinary racter, will be going on in another part of the at the same time, having for its avowed object Yes, this daring and d measure will be actually discussed by incendiaries openly and unblushingly ting their intentions, and deliberately go- rk to pass resolutions and devise medsures et their infamous object. in, on still another hand, and at the same time, another important movement isgoing on close to us, conducted by the skilful pickpockets, gam- blera, and thimble rig men at the races on Long Isl- and, to plunder and cheat, and rob every one whom they posmbly can Yet again, w nary city, sunultaneous with all these movements, an almost continuous assemblage of saints of vari- ous denominations, and holy men and women of all kinds praying, and preaching and, exhorting, and calling upon the Almighty to have mercy upon this great mammoth city of iniquity, pluck its inhabi- tants as brands from the everlasting burning, an¢ save it from the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah.

As has been beanti fully said in the Report, our Master found his early fol- lowers and friends among those who were seamen, though on an inlend sea. The apostles were preachers of right- eousness,and I am sure that in the conversion of seamen we shall attain an “ apostolical succession” which wo shal! all love, because they will go abroad as the missionaries of Christ, like those whom the Savior chose. But there is one thing connected With your scheme full of interesi to my 1aind—that is the esiablishment of those foreign chaplancies of yours. It has often been observed, that nothing tends so much to break down the restraints of conscience, or to lower those even who have been well taught in the paths of vice, as the consciousness of being strangers in any land. ‘Afar from the influence, the yoice,and even the light or knowledge of those who know them, it is a common remark, which | have myself often heard when in the West Indies, by sons of Christian office- bearers, and in the hearing of men who were professors ofreligion, but had scarcely avestige of religion about them, that’when they crossed the Bahama Bank they left religion behind them. Why? Because they entered on a sphere when all the influence which ‘had former- ly sustained them was absent. Is not this empha- tically true of our seamen? And is it not true of them and of our travellers abroad, that the eaban- doned themselves to a dissipation, which has often shamed the nations of éven heathen lands? But introduce orship of the sabbath day—to the and all the hallowed influen- cos of religion ; bring to them the christian minister of peace, irtvery spot where they set their feet, you cast around them a restraining influence whose potency cannot be too highly appreciated, Ispeak with feeling on this subject, Te hes been in y lot to wander’ in countries where the sabbath is almost unknown, and christianity so darkened, that her features were hardly to berecognized, And whata comfort it wasto hear the gos- pel preached in those lands, evea though it were with what we would perhaps eall lukewarmness, by miniet of the Chureh of England, who had buen sent’ to exhibit the truth tothe poor seamen! When in Savannah some years ago, Iasked if there was no Bethel flag there, and was told there was, and with the assistance of a good Cap- tain Harding who was there, we had it hoisted at the mast- head of a vessel, and every sabbath we held service. And the influence of good was sooneyident. An instance of the attachment awakened to our religious worship in the minds of the sailors may be mentioned. 1 exchanged pul- pits on one occasion with the pastor of one of the churches in the city, and was much surprised on observing some jailors enter and take theirseats. Thi had found that a strange minister was to address them, nit hearing where I was they had followed me, preferring to hear their own preacher. There was a charm in that vord “our” which they all felt and acknowledged, and i explained in a great measure the success of these jethels.” On another occasion I preached on board the ady of the Lake,” a Scotch ship, the deck of which was admirably fitted up forthe occasion. Many landsmen ad places given them by some of the sailo:s ularly long, for i (laughter) but he came up to me and asked if he and some of his messmates might not form a choir and sing the psalms ; of course I assented, and a very respectable choir they male I assure you. tw sure they sang in’ rather a peculiar fad eal (Laughter and Spplaute,) To jon, but yet with @ great of unction. I preached from the text—‘ This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!” And when I spoke of the privilege of worshipping in that bea tiful tempie, and compared the blue vault of Hea aud all the magnificent scenery around, with the ficance ofthe poor architecture of man's genius—the sai- lor’s eye looked up as many others among them, and were thankful that they were so provided for. And sir, there is @ very intimate connection between mercy to the body, and mercy to the soul. All the Lord’s miracles were mei ciful—none of them were bestowed in wrath. And heace. he introduced the figures of his beautiful parables, as ill trative of the benefits to the body—the parable of the het ing of the leper, was typical of the cleansing of the soul; the opening the eyes of the blind shadowed forth the light nderstanding, and so on. by his kind- ness to the body, he won the w ho heard him; and thus known as the good ph: ¢ Savior of sinners i We must not Have we fed the hungry—I we we given drink for you’ donot neglect the inesti- ing the prisoner.

Now here we see that the gh Let us do so in good earnest, and is no knowing what benefit we may rea We hear much said, sir, about the importance aying duties to protect various interests; and it is to pay duties that will protect our commerce. We sitate to pay these duties cheerfully ; and how much do we not owe to the fidelity and the zeal of these mariners, who are the very life-springs of our commerce ; and therefore I trust that all here will feel themselves bound to pay a small duty into this treasury for their bene- fit. Itis due to the commerce—it is due to the cause we are engaged in—it is due to the sailors themsely is sailors, for what they have done for all of us. If wegive on this principle we should give liberally. But I hope the time will come when all those barriers to free and unrestricted intercourse between the nations of the earth will be bro- ken down. I hope all the petty narrowness which is now seeking to make nations independent of each other will be superseded by a wise exchange of those blessings which are’ scattered over the whole earth by a wise and bountiful Providence, may be enjoyed ty all in one common love; and that all alike frecly may partake of the common bounty of the whole earth.

Perhaps of all other influ- ences the influence of commerce has most to do with the stability of this Union, From the earliest days the praises of cominerce have been celebrated by poets, historians, and orators. We read with enthusiasm, even at this late day, of the ancient glories of Tyre and Carthage—-the reat marts of antiquity—ot Genoa and Venice, the great comme:cial emporiums of the mid tle ager—and of Amsterdam and London, and all their imperial greatness—and of Liverpool and York, the praises are said or sung in ail our streets. But until within the last ten or twenty years what was dove for our poor seaman? Was he arded at all as aman—a man destined to an unending eternity end all its dread re- tributions? Was not his moral and intellectual nature and ite wants aliogether overlooke:), and was not ree garde as a mere animal—fco4 for powder—and as one who rred death to defeat—and was ready to be sacri- feed in obedience - to word of command ? How gieatly the whole Christian world is indebted to sailorsthis report has shown, and asit bas been said in the report, and by those gentlemen who have preceded me, the anthor of Christianity showed the estimate he uit upon the character of this class, when he chose for Bis disciples, who wore to teach and’ promulgate kis doc. trines, who were to confute the philosophy of ancient Greece, and to brave the power of imperial Rome, several persons who followed the occupation of fishermen or boatmen in the inland sea of Galilee. It must have been something more than fancy which led Jesus of Nazareth to choose thé pilot of the Galilecan lake as the head of his apostles, who were to subdue and overthrow all the established religions of the world. That he should select one from that occupation may have been induced from the fact that that occupation has some considerable influence in producing thayhardy daunt- fs, persevering character which was #0 requisite for that post, and which had endowed the apostle Peter with that fearlessness, that devotudness, that soble generosity, that frankness, that readiness to obey all the commands ur, which so eminently distin- guished him, this employment seems to bi get and foster all these ies, which fitted them so e1 nently for the hardy soldiers of the cross when they en! ed under the banners of the Captain of salvation. “Sailors, of all other men when brought under the influence of the +h, are the most accessible and embrace it with the most ity, when the heart is not seared and hardened. They hold converse with naturein her most beautiful and majeitic forms, they are familiar with the mighty works of the Creator, they have before them constantly in the ighty expanse of waters, the noblest image of the Deity, are accustomed to dangers not known on shore, and they are the most ready to recognise the superintending cane Of peoecanne, eal besugalinlinets maltua te: tnreare: Intruth, I consider even the common sailor, instead of a lost and hopeless character, eminently prepared to receive the benign influence of religion; and when he does em- brace that religion he becomes one of the most acti zealous, usefitl, and successful ministers in the sphere in whick he labors. Sir, institutions and societies of this na- tureare the crowning glories of this age, and I look for- ward with much gratitude to the influence which such a y as this must exercise, and the efficient service h converted men like these will render, whether as missionaries or assistants to missionaries, or in any other way or manner, tothe cause and glory of God. These ies, sir, are adopting those measures most cal- culated to ameliorate and elevate his condition, and to make him a useful member of society. I now speak par- ticularly of that establishment to which the report has luded, because among the wonders of the times in which we live is the fact that these efforts cannot be made, nor these establishments opened,without encountering the op- position of those whe consider themselves interested in es- tablishments of an opposite character (Applause.) I speak not now of all the proprietors of establishments apparently interested in opposing th ~indlsertininnte oeamurg id tiways wrong. Beme of these establishments do not inflict any injury on the sailor, and are safe homes for him. 1am however persuaded that the prejudice, for prejudice it is, is founded entirely in a mis- apprehension of the characters of the fotinders and the system upon which it ia to be ‘conducted. The keepers of respectable boarding houses for the reception of sailors have nothing whatever to fear;4they ought to hail its es- tablishment as a means of awakening the sailors to the character and method of conducting those houses where they have many of them hitherto taken refuge. Those which are conducted as peaceful, honest, and temperate sailors’ bonrding houses, will always be supported ; they will receive more benefit from the establishment of this institutions. 1 am however not ahs § sorry that this feel- ing hasexisted. I am motso sorry that this has led to the demonstration . of fecling which has been evinced by public meetings and discussion. Sir, publicity and en- quiry is what you want. Publicity ang inquiry will de- monitrate the usefulness and absolute indispensability of of an institution like this. It requires discussion, sir, to bene out its claims and establish its merits, which will eventually be recognized by all. You have, sir, nothing to fear from a good lookout being kept, ond you ought to be thankful for such vigilance. It will shew that yours is no piratical craft, but an honest vessel, freighted with charity, benevolence and religion, and that it will be an assistant to all disposed to rig a similar craft, and freight her with a similar cargo, and sail on the same tack. Sir, whatever that opposition is which has been male, however it was intended, and however it has impeded for the present your progress, it will not, it «annot inflict any serious injury. It will only, sir, make more apparent the importance of the society, end the benefit of the efforts which it both has made and is making. And can there be amore important object presented to the consideration of the philosopher--of the christion--than the elevation of the common sailor? I am sure thet they who meditate upon this great subject properly, and consider it in all its important bearings, must’ conclude that of all the classes of men with which America has to do as a uation, there is scarcely one whose intellectual, moral, and religious cultivation demands more constant vigk lance and sedulous care than those of the sailor. The American sailor Las carried the stripes and the stars to the farthest corner of the earth—there’s not a sca---note clime--not a speck of country where the American flag has not been known and known favorably too, by the in- strumentality of the sailor. He also carries with this flag across the sea those qualities of mind and heart, and that know ledge to those on the other side of the Atlantic, to let them know we are prepared to cope with them in any encounter ; and that when it becomes necessary we can meet them on the ocean as we have met them before, and prove our descent fromthe true Saxon blood with that sternness and determination, that nothing but death ean subdue. ‘Though I sincerely hope and trust in God; and pray that the day is far distant—that it may never become necessary that we who speak the same Saxon language; spring from the same Saxon blood; we common sons o Sarendom; 1 thank Thomas Carlyle for that word ; I saw it for the first time but this afternoon; that we shall be engaged in no other strife than who shall send forth the blessings of the common Bible, and of that christi nity in which Shakspeare and Milton were bred, and whieh Washington, Franklin, and other exemplary christians were brought up.

As matter of interest Bavrinone, May 9. 1842 to those who interest themselves in the contest, we present the following brief description of the horses, with their performances, &¢:— Bosrox.—This horse was foaled in Henrico coun- ty, Va.,in 1838, and was bred by John Wickham, sq. of Richmond, Va. He is, consequently, nine years old atthe present time. He was got by thr celebrated horse Timoleon, out of Robin Brown's dam,by Ball's Florizel, her dam by Imported Alder- man, out of a mare by Imported Clockfast, &c. He was sold by Mr. Wickham, at two years old, to Nathaniel Rives, of Richmond, Va., for $800, and was trained in 1836 and '7, by Capt. John Belcher, who was in Col. Johnson's stables. Since the spring campaign of 1838, he has been trained by Ar- thur Taylor, and ridden by Gil Patrick. In May, 1839, after the first heat of his four mile race against Decatur and Vashti, at Trenton, which he won, he was sold to Mr. James Long, of Washington city, for $12,000, and half the purse then won of $1000; and he is still owned by that gentleman, and Col. Johnson. In his first race at Broad Rock, Va., April 20, 1836 sweepstakes,mile heats,then three ars old, he bolted on the first heat, when run- Mr. Eprror :-— By the way of “ pass time,” Ihave ran my eye over Mr. Poindexter’s Report of the New York Cus- tom House frauds, and never have I read, within the same number of pages, a greater amount of daring raseality.

The lachymo. nious whining of the Clay press to create sympathy in be- half of the collector and his fellows, will not avail in the face of such inconsistency. Ifthere was reason and propriety in the removal of 83 competent, respectable men, from office, a year since, be- cause they were not of the right kind of politics, there is n for the proposed removals, because many of rs. are notorieusly incompetent, as well as"hostile to the President.

He lost a ftwo;mile match at Petersburg, Va., April 16th, 1839, being off his foot, and beaten by Portsmouth. He was also distanced by John Blount andFashion,at Camden,N.

Boston dead amiss and unable to run amile under 2. 10, The purses taken by him since he has been on the turf, amount to $49,500; in addition to which, he stood at Chest field, Va., in the spring of 1841, and produced $4. 200, from 42 mares, at $100 each, thus making his winnings and earnings amount to the enormous sum of $353,700. From the long cherished opfifions of sportsmen and others, who have written on the economy of the horse, the fact of his standing last spring produced doubts as to his ability to contend in the race, but having won four four mile purses: since, it appears that there is not much ground for the opinion. Eclipse run the race against Sir Charles and Henry, the second season after he had been used for the same purpose. The practice in England, with but one or two exceptions, has been never to runa horse after he hasbeen kept up a sea- son. Boston is a chestnut, with white stockings on both hind feet, and a white “‘ratch” down his face, which marks were partially peculiar to the celebra- ted Flying Childers, and Darley Arabian, of ancient renown. In many respects he resembles the British Phenomenon Harkaway,and in some of his'peculiar- ities, that of the celebrated American Eclipse. He is a little over 15} hands high, and although under the standard, yet to the eye appears to be a large sized hotse. His ehoulders are low but strong, with barrel rather flat than otherwise, but well ribbed, and back bone presenting great strength. His legs are as free from blemish as when three years old.— He is anything but a beauty, his neck and head be- ing ill shaped, and hind quarters ‘trum un’s to look at, but great un’s to go.” In running, he gath- ers on his hind legs, and is, therefore, great in heavy ground. His moverhent is the same as that of Ariel and Eclipse, a short and a long jump, which might be technically termed the Kan- garoo style. Ina word, he combines the great re- quisites—depth of chest, powerful loins, thighs and hocks—that produce the essentials of speed, strength, endurance, and ability to carry weight. He runs on his courage, and is never ridden with spurs. Fasnion was foaled on the farm of William Gib- “The Great Race.

She has since run three two mile heats, two three miles and one four, in the latter of which she beat John Blount in the second heat and distanced Boston in the first. Her last race is among the best in point of time ever run in this country, The only race lost was when she was beaten by Tyler, two mile heats, at Camden, in the spring of 1841, after winning the second heat. Tyler won the third and fourth heats, in the last of which she was second, having beaten Newton, who won the first, andTelemachus. In the four mile race at Camden, when she beat Boston and John Blount, the first mile of the first heat was run by her in 2m.; second, Im. 53s.; third, Im. 48s.; fourth, 23m. whole heat, 7m. 42s.

Memoranda or THE Rack petween Ectirsr anv Henry.—For reference we give the following memoranda of this memorable race:—It was run on Tuesday, May 27th, 1823, over the Union Course, for a purse of $20,000 aside, forfeit. sont owned by Col. Johnson, won the first heat by nearly alength, in 7m. 37s. hae owned by C. W. Van Kanst, won the second by about 30 feet in 7m. 493.; and also the third by about three lengths, 8m. 24s. The twelve miles were run by Elipse, from the score, in 23m. 50s., being an average of 7m. 573 for each heat, or Im. 593. per mile. Eclipse was nine years old, and carried 126lbs; Henry only four ears old, and carried 108lbs, except en the last eat, when the rider was changed, who weighed NO. As 7lbs. extra weight is considered equal to a distance of ferty-rods on the four miles, Henry had an advantage in weight of 565 yards on the score of his youth. The Union Course having previously been thirtyffeet over amile, it was altered at thie race, to measure a mile with 18 inches over.— Eclipse was rode on the first heat by Wm. Crafts, and in the second and third by Mr. Samuel Purdy of this city. Henry was rode in the first and second heats by a boy named John Walden, and in the last a rider named ane Colonel Johnson. the “Napoleon of the Turf” having freely indulged in ** fresh lobster,” a rarity among Virgimians from his quarter, was taken sick the evening previous to the race, and was therefore unable to attend. ‘This caused great disappointment among his friends, and the'supporters of Fenty: General idgely, oO - timore, Capt.
