We give in our paper to-day all the intelligence received yesterday from the seat of war,or rather the seat of honor—along shore and down east—compre- hending the movements and counter-movements of the great belligerents in big Rhode Island. ‘The sensation which these events have created in this city is tremendous, nor is the danger yet over. We understand that the following paper has been widely circulated throughout the city, and has al- ready received three thousand names :— Revoivtion iy Ruove Isvanv. “ The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion.”—ConstitutiIonN—ARTICLE TV, Srction 4. Whereas, The people of Rhode Island, in pursuance of their unquestionable rights, as men, and as American citi- zens, have peaceably and fully adopted a republican form of government, as guaranteed to them by the constitution of their country, which was won and’ cemented by the blood of their revolutionary sires ; And whereas, the Exe- cutive of the United States, has, by an act of unprecedented usurpation, most daugerous to the peace and liberties of the Union, taken sides in the controversy in Rhode Island, of- fering the martial forces of the United States, in sustain- ing the partisans of a Royal Charter, in opposition to the Republican Constitution’ which has been adopted in that ‘State : And whereas, the republican government of Rhode Island has appealed to the citizens of New York to aid the People of that State in maintaining their rights against the unutterable aggressions with which they are threatened by the Federal Executive : therefore, we, whose names are hereunto subscribed, do hereby enroll ourselves as an organized military force to defend the people of Rhode Island, in cordial’ concurrence with the appeal of their constitutional and patriotic governor. In testimony whereof, we hereby, each to the other, “ Pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” In addition to this manifestation, the “New York American,” and other respectable prints, have indi- cated a necessity for holding a meeting on the sub- Jeet, and in pursuance thereof we find the following notice in the ‘Commercial Advertiser” of last evening :— Mertine in THE Pan !—We have been called on by Governor Davis, of Coney Island, who statesthat he has every reason to believe, that Excellency Governor Dorr, with his retinue, has arrived this morning at that delectable island over which he, ernor Davis, presides. ‘As he needs consolation pathy and succor from the free andthe brave, es; fly at this moment, Governor Davis begs lea: ost respectfully to suggest the calling ofa Park meeting, to-morrow [this day] afternoon, at 4 o'clock. Messrs. Allen, Bowne, Vanderpoel, Ming and Slammare directed to put up tage, bring bottles to tch the tears, and makesuch other arrangements as are ssary Governor Davis, of Coney Island, is one of the greatest men of the present day, and no doubt at his call a tremendous meeting will assemble in the Park thisafternoon, including the ‘three thousand of an organized military force.” Goyernor Davis is also a “teetotaller” of the purest water. He goes teeto- tally against every thing too strong, particularly strong water. He is teetotally in favor of all gentle, temperance, soft, heavenly, ruby, rosy wines of France and Germany, and his assortment at the cor- ner of Pine and William is the most unique in the city for cash or short credits, It such a man calls spirits from the vasty deep they must come as thick as the sands of the sea shore. If they don’t come, then he has only to call fora bottle of burgundy, rich and ruby, and that is probably as cheerful a spirit—and as gentle too—as ever came from any depths—the depths of a wine cellar included—particularly if you pay the money down. Seriously, however, this flare up in Rhode Island isone of the most absurb and preposterous events that ever took place among a sensible race of human beings. ‘tis amere tempest in a teapot—a hurri- eane on a hurdy-gurdy—an explosion of a barrel of root beer—a stalking horse among politicians. There is hardly a pin to choose between the two factions; and it the moral and sensible people of Rhode Island are not capable of settling the business of both, then are we no judge of pea-green in colors.

Proaress or Screnck—Dr. Larvye! Career in THe Unrrep Srates.—We see it an- nounced somewhere that Doctor Lardner intends te open a series of scientific lectures at the Park Thea- ‘tre on Saturday night. He has been for some time delivering lectures on art and science at Niblo’s, but although he has done well, he intends to do better at the Park Theatre. The career of Doctor Lardner, and the results produced by his lectures, present a remarkable se- ries of facts on the state of society and intelligence in this country. Let us sketch them. In November, 1841, he commenced his career in this city, in the midst of a deep and bitter prejudice, caused by some portions of his personal history in Europe. In the brief space of a few weeks he lec- tured down all opposition, and for the last six months up to this time, his results have been ascer- tained to be as follows :— Cities. Lectures. Place. Proceeds. Boston 2 : Philadelphia, 11 4,000 Baltimore, ' 6 in Church 500 s 5 in Theatre 100 Washington, 6 do 000 Providence,’ 4 450 New York, 29 in Theatre 3,000 Aggregate receiptsin six months, $13,050 This presents a very remarkable and curious statement of facts, developing the state of society and manners—and the taste of the publie on scien- tific subjects—in the midst, too,of a severe commer- cial revulsion. Some other curious facts have been given us. In Boston his audiences were composed princi- pally of the most moral and respectable classes,who profess to be sound Christians of the Protestant chuiches. They frequented the theatre without any reserve or delicacy. In Baltimore he engaged the theatre, but drew a very small audience. He was advised to engage a church, and did so. His audiences became at once very large—but he could not exhibit his scientific diagrams to advantage. He returned to the theatre todo this, but the instant he got back he was nearly deserted—thus showing that the people of Baltimore are so exceasive- ly fastidious in religion, that they will not lis ten to science if explained in a theatre. In Phi- ladelphia the case was different. He delivered all his lectures at the theatre, and every evening one of the boxes was filled with the beautiful Quaker and Protestant ladies—thus showing that the love of science in Philadelphia is stronger than that kind of prejudice which governs the fashion- ables of Baltimore. In New York the moral circumstances attending his carear have partaken ofall their characteristics —sometimes like Boston—sometimes like Philadel- phia—sometimes like Baltimore—sometimes like neither. The Rey. David, the highly respectable and pious hypocrite and editor of the “Journal of Commerce,” who owns the Tabernacle on a mixed principle—half piety, half profit, once gave Dr. Lard- ner the use of that building fora stipulated rent of $75 in current money, to deliver his lectures in— but finding afterwards that Dr. Lardner was Dr. Lardner, anda sinner to boot, he changed his mind, broke the bargain—and refused to let him have the house for love or money. In this dilemma,Dr. Lard- ner delivered his lectures sometimes at Niblo’s, sometimes at the Park, but always before a highly respectable audience. ° Thus it will be seen that the aggregate proceeds of Dr. Lardner’s scientific lectures, in six months in the United States, are equal to $13,000, or at the rate of $26,000 perannum. Half of these proceeds go into hjsown pocket—the other half to theatrical managers,church wardens, and owners of churches. —We do not believe that sucha career could be paralleled in Europe. In this country no theatri- cal starhas done as much in the like time except Fanny Elssler. It establishes the fact that science in this country is one of the most pepular passions, ¢ Revolution in Rhode Island. We have received, through Harnden & Co., th following intelligence from Rhode Island. It ix down to five o’clock last evening. It is said, in letters from Providence, that none of the Suffrage party have backed out, and that the card ig an imposition. According to all accounts from Rhode Islan: both Governors have run off At any rate they could not be found on Wednesday evening. {From the Providence Evening Chronicle, May 18.} To-Day—Hatr Past Eigur, A. M.—The critics) moment has come, and before we have completed this article blood may have flown in ourstreets. Yes. terday, about ten o’clock, to be brief, and bring the history of the last 14 or 15 hours up to this time, the signal guns of the People’s Constitution party wer« fired, and all of the volunteer companies in tha! cause were marshalled around Mr. Burrington An- thony’s house, where Governor Dorr is sojourning Expresses were likewise sent into the country; and by mght, a large number of Suffrage men from the northern part of the State, principally armed and nipped, arrived in the city. ‘The cause of this alarm as the event proves, was an impression which the Suffrage party had got, that their Governor was to be taken. On the arrival of the troops around Mr. Anthony’: house, they were received by their Governor. cannon belonging to the Ungted Train of Artillery. were taken by a detachment of the Suffrage men, making inall, possessed by that body, five pieces, Gov. King and his Counsel were aroused by these movements of Goy. Dorr, and it was ordered in Counsel, that he must be taken if possible, to-day— with this view, he dispatched expresses into all parts of the State, and sent a steamboat to touch at New port, Bristol, and Warren, to bring his friends fi those places. ‘The boat arrived this morning and brought body of men, who were joined with the fr here; they are about going to the field of battle. — This morning aid has come, likewise, to Governor Dorr’s ranks, and the prospect now is, that a bloody battle must occur. We should have stated than an attempt was made by Governor Dorr’s men, to take the Arsenal. Ondemanding the keys of that place, they were refused. The body under Governor Dorr consequently, marched to the Arsenal, planted their cannon, and were upon the point of firing into it— when, for some reason or other, their forces were withdrawn, and a conflict, at that time, avoided — The arsenal was well guarded, and with men, too, who, we hear, would not have yielded without strong resistance. Gov, King last night issued a proclamation calling upon all of his friends to arm themselves at once. They accordingly did so. This morning, the Mayor requested all of the friends of pastimes and amusements, and that Dr. Lardner is the most remarkable lecturer. jNot even fanaticism —rigid morality—or theatrical tastes, can affect or impede its progress,'or put down a man{who is real- ly useful in his day and} generation, however ob- jectionable he may be in otherjrespects. Washington, {Correspondence of the Herald.] Wasnineton, Wednesday, 3 P. M. Proceedings in Cengress—The N, ¥. Ame- rican, &e, &e, The Rhode Island affair has been laid on the ta- ble, by a decided yote—28 to 18; so all steam on this subject must be suppressed for the present.— When the morning business was disposed of, the bill providing for refunding Gen. Jackson's fine was taken up, and Mr. Conrad, the new senator from Louisiana, a yery sensible and estimable man too, by the way, is making a speech in explanation of the vote, which he intends to give. The bill will pass, probably, and to-day. Several executive communications were present- ed in the House this morning ; none of them, how- ever, of great public importance. These disposed ot, the House went into Committee of the Whole and took up the Navy Appropriation Bill. Mr. Sprigg is in the midst of a speech on the proposition to cut down the appropriation. It is doubtful whe- ther any vote willbe taken to-day. What purpose or object has the editor of the A- merican in loading his columns with such foul abuse of the President, such preposterous falsehoods re- specting himself and his friends? A letter from here ofthe 10th inst. referring to the recent visit of Mr. Tyson to Washington,* and his conduct while here, contains more downright falsehoods, more insidious perversions of fact, and more scurrili- ty, than were ever before crowded into the same space. There is an average of three liesto a line—the greatest instance of economy on record— a species of economy, however, very well to ad- mire, but hardly suitable for imitation. Mr. Tyson did not stay atthe White House—was never told by the President that a change in the Cabinet was in contemplation—never made such a statement him- self{—nor ever said or did one single thing charged up- onhimby the American. The gratuitous falsehoods ofthat paper are the more extraordinary, when the fact is considered that the American is in part sus- tained by the patronage of the Custom House, and when, asit is said, a son of the proprietor, who is assistant of the paper, holds a lucrative post under the Collector; another son isa clerk, and one of the subordinates in the paper, a collector, or something of the sort, is inspector or clerk. All this, it would seem, should suggest to the editor, decency at least. But no—he disregards truth, decency, and ordi- nary decorum. Perhaps the removal of his sons and subordinates from the,employment of the Goyern- ment, may open his eyes to propriety, under the circumstances. A new political paper is shortly to be established here by Mesars. Martin & Heart, both staunch de- mocrats, deserving well of their,party and the public generally. Dr. Martin, the senior partner, is a gen- tleman of accomplished education, a fluent, grace- ful, and most effective writer.

They are all armed to the teeth, Bodies of Suffrage men have been likewise passing over. There is a report flying about, that an attempt is to be made to take the Court House at 11 o’clock. ‘This is # critical moment for both parties—the streets wear the aspect of a holy-day in mourning—they are crowded with men, some with muskets hurrying to the scene of action, others roaming about, mere idle spectators.

Haur-past NINE o’cLock.—We have just heard from the scene of strife, itseems that on the appear- ance of the military around Mr. Anthony’s house this morning, that gentleman came and stated to the multitude that Gov. Dorr had gone into the country, that he did not doubt their courage. This isa report. ever; we shall know whether it be true or not re we close our account of the proceedings to jay. A large body of citizens have just gone down to meet friends who have come by the boats to as- sist Gov. King. All sorts of rumors are flying about; some say that Goy. Dorr has really left town, but that he will return in a day or two. There are knots of men in all parts of the ‘streets. The conduct of all parties thus far, has been worthy of all praise. Fears of bloodshed, at this time, begin to wear away. The landholders say they are determined to take the Governor of their opponents—that they do not believe he has left the city. QvaARTER To TEN o’cLocK.—The body that march- ed down to the boat to nfeet citizens who have ar- rived from the southern part of the State, have just gone over to Mr. Anthony’s house, accompanied by ir friends from the country. We shall know, in space, what will be the event of their arrival at the sceng of strife. We noticed that Colonel Blodget is in command. The same gentleman had charge of the Arsenal last evening. Hair rast TEN o0’cLoc! ‘We have just heard trom the scene of action. Gov. Dorr has left town, and the friends of Suffrage arc-exhorting their men to leaye the ground peaceably. The following handbill has just been put into our hands. It is cir- aan widely about the streets. It will speak for itself. Resignation OF ALL THR Orricens UNDER THE Prories’ Constiruts We, the undersigned, elected Senators and Representa tives to the General Assembly, and to other offices under the People’s Constitution, not having, in accepting those offices, contemplated carrying the Constitution into effect against the power of the General Government of the United States, which has been called upon to act against us, and which the President has signified his intention to grant.—Therefore, in consideration of the evils which we think must ensue to our common country from our engag- ing in a contest with the General Government, although we cannot surrender, nor have altered our views of t right of the people to form and establish a government in the manner in which the Constitution of this State has been framed, and entertaining these views, and first pro- @ against the course which the President has taken ard to the controversy between the old and the new nment of this State, ing against the fundamen- he people of this State, and of the United s ined to decline acting further i several offices vhi have been elected, and which therefore we hereby resign. Neither can we, nor have we countenanced, in any manner, the late movement of the Governor elected under the Peoples’ Constitution, but in every way have endeavored to counteract and prevent so deplorable an act, and one so destructive to the cause in which we have been engaged. Hezekiah Willard. Eli Brown, Benjamin Arnold, Jr., Welcome Angell, Wn. Webster, John A. Howland, Frederick L. Beckford, William Coleman, Samuel H. Wales, J.¥. B. Flagg, Perez Simmons, We have just seen another hand-bill, containing a statement to the following effect. It speaks for it- self, like the preceding :— UNITED TRAIN OF ARTILLERY. It is not true that we willingly surrendered our pieces yesterday to Mr. Dorr’s Volunteers. They were taken Without our consent or knowledge. Our Company is warned to meet at 10 o'clock this morning,to re-take them. W. T. HOPKINS, Clerk U. T. Artillery. Providence, May 18, 1342. ‘The excitement is beginning to lull. The whole difficulty bids fair to be adjusted without the sacri- fice of life. The last hour has been one of dreadful suspense though. We deem the question already, to allintents and purposes, and certainly for the pre- sent, settled. Something still, however, may hap- pen to throw a cloud over usagain. We shall con- tinue to give any thing which may occur up to our hour of publication. The streets are still filled with knotsof men. Theirfaces wear a cheerful aspect. After all, there is really too much good feeling among all parties of our citizens, to fight about a matter which can be adjusted in the couicil room. QUARTER PAST RLEVEN.-~ We sent a messenger off to the neighborhood of Mr. Anthony's house, the scene of strife, He reports that the bh f citizens under Goy. King and Col. Blodget, marghed up at once into the very midst of the Suffrage ks, with- out molestation, and surrounded Mr. ‘Anthony's house. A detachmeut then went into the house, and on searching, Gov. Dorr could no where be found. He had, it was reported, left town. We hear that.a number of the landholders have gone in pursuit of him, with orders to take him wherever he could be found. ‘The leaders on the part of the suf- frage party had dismissed their men, and advised them to retire peaceably from the ground. A large body retired in compliance with thigrequest. Others were on the ground to a large number, and around the cannons, on the arrival of the body of citizens under Gov, King. Many in the ranks of the Suffrage men cried out “fire,” but there was no attempt, in reality, to ob- struct the passage of Gov. King’s men in surround- ing the house and taking possession of the ground The landholders, under the direetion of the Marshall of the United States, are taking guns and arms from all of the Suffrage men as they ass through the streets, on their way home. W learsies the body under Governor Sm | passed up Westininster street, they halted, and each man t a good draught of pure and wholesome water. When they passed the market, the by-standers gave three cheers. We observed in the ranks some of the most promineat men. " alk. Havr past. oxe.—Gov. King and his friends have ust returned from Mr. Anthony’s house. All has en adjusted. It seems a few of the Suffrage men would not leave the cannon. After some conside- rable parleying, they finally told Gov. King and hi~ fr bs tty, hs would take the guns back to the places from which they took them, but that they would not have them, without resistance, taken from them. a The troops under Governor King, have all been drawn up in the Market Square within the past few moments. Col. Blodget briefly and pertinent! thanked each company under his command, for soldier-like conduct, and they are now repairing 1 their armories. It is said, Mr. Dorr has taken thr Worcester road. Nany think he will be overtake: by the body that has gone in pursuit. Thank Gor all ends well, and our city is d from Should anything of moment occur in addition t what has been already given, we shall publish a se cond edition Seconp Eprrion, HALF Past Four o’cLock.—We were in hopes that we should not have to record an thing that Ioeked like fight, farther than whet ts ef ready given in another column. Bat it seems, the small body of Suffrage men wha were left on the field of strife, in possession of the cannon, which they promised to deliver up, in case that Goy. King, wih his party, would retire, aftei his departure, at once commenced throwing up breast-works, and arranging matters to place them- selves on the defence, declaring that they would not give up the cannon. . & They did not muster at first more than fifty te sixty, but we believe their forees have been in- creased within the past hour by detachments from Woonsocket and Glocester. ‘The cannon of which this body is in possession, belong to the Artillery Company, and are the same as were taken yester- day afternoon, as that company state, without leave. The Artillery Company have just gone up with their swords, to demand their cannon. We have sent a messenger off to learn what will be the ess of the mission. Should the cannon not be en up, they will be taken by force, it is said. Five o’ctock.—Our_ messenger has just returned from the ground, and reports that the body of the Sutirage party, in possession of the guns, will not deliver them up. ‘They have built a breast work about three feet high, and intend, they say, to main- tain their positon. The artillery company have left the ground. _Itis expected that Goy. King will again call oat his friends to disperse those men, and take the guns from them. (From the Providence Journal, May 18, P. M.) Last evening, several of Mr. Dorr’s near called at his quarters and endeavored to convince him of the utter impossibility of success in his mad design,and urged upon him, by every consideration which ever moved mortal man, to desist from a con- flict which could only end in the effusion of blood and his own distraction. A number of the members of his legislature, were present and joined in the en- treaty, and to their rf it should be said,his chief counsellors added their unanimous opinion against a forcible movement. He refused to listen to any thing, and when those who had called upon him left the room, his own party friends also went and left him for the moment alone, asa token of their disap- probation. He wasa second time visited by the same near relatives, and again urged to liston to on: but equally in vain. Nothing could move him, and he issued his orders for an attack upon the Ar- senal. The signal gun was fired at midnight; the force, accompanied by Dorr in person, moved down Love Lane through Olneyville and came up on the north east side of the Arsenal. They brought six field pieces and took up a_posi- tion in a small grove, within long musket shot of the Arsenal. They afterwards approach- ed even nearer. Their position was selected with, singular imprudence. It was completely within range of grape and canister, and had they fired a single gun, the return from the Arsenal would have been tremendous—imurderous. Not half their force would ever have left the field — Their force was variously estimated at from two tofourhundred. A flag’ of truce was then sent to the Arsenal, and possession demanded, on the part of Colonel Wheeler, and in the name of Governor Dorr. The commandant replied that he knew nei- ther Colonel Wheeler nor Goy. Dorr, and in answer to-the assurances that they should take it and were fully able to do so, he told them to take it. The in- surgents then repaired to their guns and the order was given, by Dorr, to fire. e are not certain whether they refused to fire, or whether their igno- rance of gunnery prevented them from making an effective manifestation ; probably both reasons op: rat * * * * * * * At about nine o’clock, it, was rumored that Dorr had fled the city. His military were told to hold themselves under the command of their respective company officers. Messages were despatched to the Governor, SO nye sAnE, this information, but it was not received with full confidence. The insurgents in arms still remained around the house of Burring- ton Anthony, and passed resolutions, the exact pur- port of which we did not understand, but which amounted to a determination not to disperse at pre- sent. Their cannon were loaded, and pointed so as ommand all the sides of the house; the situation ee and presents many avenues of approach. itary companies approached and _ posted themselves on different sides. : < The Governor, with the Sheriff, went into the house, and informed the crowd that their ovject was to arrest Thomas W. Dorr. They were told that he had left the city; the sheriff said | that he should proceed to search the house. Against this they loudly protested, and made a show of resist- ance, but it was done thoroughly, although unsuc- cessfully. Dorr is understood to have left the city for Worcester. He is reported to have been seen ina carriage, with a pair of fleet horses, at full speed, making for that direction. His men are «xceedingly ii ant at his desertion, and curse him openly and loudly. After placing them, against the wishes of ail his counsellors, and by the exercise of his own indomitable obstinacy, in their present position, he sought safety for himselt in flight, and left them to their fate, Before the arrival of the military, or immediately after, the greater part of the insurgents who were armed, lett the ground and dispersed. About twenty-five, however, stood by their guns, and declared that, although’ they were ready to disperse, they would not surrender them. i A strong party of horse followed Dorr in instant pursuit, but we fear there is little prospect of his be- ing arrested in this State. A requisition will be made upon the Governor of whatever State he has fled to, and he willbe brought here for trial. He will very probably attempt to get up another sympa- thizingineeting in New Vork, and come here at the head of the ruffians of whom he boasts that he can raise five thousand ; but he will never be allowed to come into the State except in the custody of the law. His course is run. ‘This is to give notice that I have resigned my seat as a member of the House of Representatives from the town of Smithfield, under the Peeple’s Constitution. ELISHA SMITH. May 18, 1849. ‘The insurgents have not given up their guns, but are entrenching themselves. Suffrage Account, ; Provipence, Wednesday, May 18, 3 P. M. Dear Sir—The news which you will receive by this day’s mail will probably ‘be, that the en: Suffrage party in this State isdisbanded and annihi- lated, and various other ridiculous reports too_nu- merows to mention. But don't believe them ; Gov. Dorr’s troops have been on the ground, true to hin and the cause, since his arrival in this city from ‘Washington. i 7 In the morning of to-day, the Algerines having be- come completely reinforced, sent up by a prominent suffrage man, the most positive assurance that they were ready to move in an honorable manner to- wards adjusting the ear rshn ta them that no more arrests under the Algerine law should be made. &c, All this threw the companies completely off their guard. Orders were given to allow the men peaceably to depart to their homes; and by the ad- vice of Mr. Dorr’s friends, he was induced to leave the city for a short time, to obtain rest and await the final adjustment of the whole matter. ‘The officers of the companies had left, and only afew men re- mained without any organization, making prepara- tions to retire. But all this proved a mere stratagem—an armis- tice to produce disorder among the people’s ranks for the purpose of exhibiting thelr courage against an unarmed foe. Mr. Harris had received from King the promise that he would appear personally and make reconciliation among the. people—and from the window of the house of. sheriff Armetrong made them an address to that effect. Pending this expectation on the part of the people, King made his appearance in company with the County Sheriff, Mr. Potter, and as he approached the house the people gave way in the most respectful manner. He entered the house with hat in hand, and su ‘ing him to have come with the olive branch of peace, the people greeted him with three cheers. He ascended to the upper window of the house in company with the Shen made a respectful bow to the throng outside, and then addressed them as fol- lows: “I have come here in company with the Sheriff with a precept for Thomas Ww. tr—I am informed thathe is not in the house—I presume you are willing he should make the necessary search.” To this most unexpected address a shout, quicker than lightning, arose from the assembly, of ‘* No! No!” that made the wel ring. 1 instinetively pl ha to save my own head, and hearing a rushing in below, the Governor and Sheriff, pale as ashes, flew from the house—escaped at the back door, and ran at the top of their speed across lots, until they supposed themselves safe, and covered by their own forces, which were now halting at the foot of Federal Hill,awaiting with breathless anxie- ty the result of this treacherous movement. P. M.—I have just returned from the field h the people’s men,in possession of the ord:+ nance have retreated. They have been reinforced by acompany of about 40 men, good and true, and lreve thrown upa breastwork for 3-8ths of a mile, having command of a large level and, open fiel |, and the banner of the Suffrage party is fying tri umphantly upon the battlements.

Arnold, e., who is now in your ety: Alla lie, ours, &e, ngular Sermon at the Rose Street Quaker Meeting, last Sunday. There was quite a large-number of that highly respectable portion of our fellow citizens, called Quakers, assembled at the Rose street Meeting Tlouse,'last Sunday: besides, also, a very large num ber of male strangers who did not appear to belong to the society, but who filled that side of the gallery apportioned off for men; whilst the parellel side set apart for females was entirely empty. At the same time both the male and female side galleries had a curious appearance, they having long narrow pieces of board nailed across them, apparently with a view of preventing rude and unmannerly strangers from going to that part of the house in order that they might get a full view of and rudely stare at the faces of the very pretty Quaker girls in the body of the church, Staid and steady, and quiet and motionless, as the worthy members of the Society of Friends are uniformly known to be, particularly in all that re- lates to religious worship, there was evidently a con- siderable sensation and some little excitement on foot on this occasion. The immediate cause of all this seemed to be the anticipation of a sermon from a curious preacher named George F. White, and that he would in that sermon denounce as emissaries of the devil all the temperance lecturers, the Anti-Slavery Societies, their agents, their lec- turers, and officers, all the preachers of other deno- minations, and all the religious book agents, &e. And sure enough the result showed that they had anticipated rightly. For he did denounce them all in no very measured terms, The body of the meeting house was quite full of the very élite of the Society of Friends. The long row of seats appropriated for the male and female elders was filled with very respect able and grave, though by no means handsome looking quakers. ‘The same may be said of the seats immediately behind, appropriated. to the ac- credited preachers of the Society. The long row of seats at the back of all, appropriated, we believe, to the great star preachers from the country, was en- tirely vacant. Among the audience were Abraham Bell, the great shipping merchant, Comelius W. Lawrence, with two very beautiful daughters, Captain Coleman of the Astor House, and several distinguished and leading Friends, all of them dress- ed in most costly broad cloth, and in the height of fashion—that is, Quaker fashion. On the female side of the house, probably there never was such a bevy of beauties gathered together before any where—such a perfect blaze of loveliness—unless, indeed, it be on the occasion of a yearly meeting in London. For it is notorious that the young quaker girls of New York, and the Rose street meeting in particular, taken in a body, are superior in shape, beauty of feature, symmetry of form, grace, and even elegance, to those of any other religious sect inthe city. They were dressed, it is trae—a ma- jority of them—in the “s severe and formal cut” of the fashion of their society, but they looked still more lovely, if possible, from the very simplicity ct their dress ; and a great number had modified and twisted the style and cut of their frocks, and added a little lace ornament here, and a little something else there, and pushed their improvements, and resem blance to other ladies’ dresses as far as they could, and yet not be taken to task for violating the Quaker rules of dress, whilst, for costliness and richness of material, nothing could exceed the su- perb quality of their silks and satins. Mr. George F. White, the great and eloquent star, who was to preach upon this occasion, is or was, we believe, a flour merchant in this city. A few yeursago, in consequence of a failure in business, cv pecuniary embarrassments,or something of that kind, he was, according to'the rules of the Society,‘put 10 the wall, as we think the term runs, or read out. He also, we believe, addressed several communica tions to the Free Enquirer, and particularly assailed Sunday Schools, or the mode in which they were conducted, and which he denounced as calculated to subvert the purity and morals of the young fc- male teachers. He also denounced abolitionists, and all other religious preachers, as “ hireling preachers,” “‘hireling lecturers,” “‘hireling edito; “servants of the devil,” “emisearies of satan,” “hy- pocrites,” “blasphemers,” “coming up out of the bottomless pit,” &c. &c. And, now that the anni- versaries were in full operation, he again came forth to denounce them. He is a very tall, and not a badly made man, uncommonly well-dressed, but with rather homely features, and a very unpleasant style of voice, harsh and cracked. Stil! he is looked upon by the Hicksites asa very able man, their great star preacher, and quite the head cf the church jin this city. Tlis style of preaching is not good—he lacks powers of condensation, is very rambling and discursive, and makes use of a most unnecessary number of words. For instance, he spoke for over an hour last Sunday at Rose street, whereas an able man would have really said al] that he said, in one fourth the time, and produced a greater effect; and as he does not seem to know how to condense, we will do that for him, and give only the strong points of his speech. He commenced his sermon by stating that he was fully convinced of the truth of what John said, that mystery was the fruitful mother of all abominations. that she ever had been, and ever would be so ‘That if man believed that there was a God, he would see that the Almighty had _ laid down certain prin. ciples in order to bring him to a close approxima- tion with his own nature, and that he would turn his back on all religions that were shaded in the least degree by that mother of abominations—mys- tery. He wenton:— So rational in our religion, that so far from man required to do anything contrary to his own interests, if the salvation of his soul depended on it, it would be possible for him to do so. Man is never required to sac fice tie major to the minor. Is it necessary to go into the great labor of removing the mass of rubbish which the hireling preachers of the present and former generation e thrown on this bless ed truth? Is it necessary to go in and show the a of what they call the Trinity ? urdity Are there not those in this city who believe not the yord? But who have been sitting in darkness under the istry of the corrupt hireling preachers of the present day, and who believe t! rect revelation from God to man, and inspiration has ceased? There are. And you shun these jhireling preachers, and shun all their idola- trous temples of worship, which are neither more nor less than the leemplovof the arch enemy of the human race,— Shun these idolatrous temples as you would the open den of famished lions. Turn from the darkness of the mystery of abominations and her advocates,the leprous hireling preachers of the day. Isit not absurdt the doctrines of the Trinity, as they are called. Is it necessary, then, to develope the pro- positions laid down, to show the absurdity and wickedness of this dark doctrine of the Trinity, as’ it is called, and which has been brought into this world, by the arch ene- my of souls, through his emissaries the hireling preach- ers of the day? We must repudiate the dark and wicked doctrine of three persons in one God. And there is not a line in the Scriptures—nothing from Genesis eo danen bn isolated e which goes in the #1 legree to sup- port thistidiewlous doctrine. And it is nothing more than one of themany mysteries, absurdities and blasphemies which is being promulgated this very day by the emissa- ties of the devil, the hireling preachers of the various sects of the present day. And if you will repudiate all faith in them and their abominations, you have only to take rea- son in your right hand; and common sense in your left. * * . . . * * Man is a mere rational animal—no higher than the beasts of the field—only asa rational understanding raises him above them. e say of these hireling preachers, wnat aan 4 ative of Almighty God, and denounce 600,000,000 of their fellow beings? Oh! ere I dare do an act of thiskind, may God bring me down to the grave. : i “ of which Jacob was the type. What er Log ig ! Not that which the hirelings have—but that which refuses to bear testimony as the hirelings—and the very worst kind of hirelings— ‘as hireling lecturers, editors, and book agents.

Why, the tribe of Levi, with whom were the priests, gave more than any other two tribes. € ERG OSES The Lord never required any one to go forth and ask any reward from the children of men for preaching the truth. And never was there a true servant of God who received it; and never will there be one. And it is easy to prove it. No man can serve two masters. He that la- bors for hire labors in the service of Satan. And for these reasons the men who preach for hire are always ready to preach any doctrine. No true servant of the ever got his bread by preaching ; because he would preach suc doctrine as the people weed not Uke, ¢ and y Wouldn't pay him ; "1 be always ed to preach popular doctrines. 2” es.

SrLenpip Girr.—The passengers by the packet ship Ruasell Glover, with a double row of ports, on her last trip, have presented Captain Howes, with a superb silver pitcher, and Mr. Waterman, the chief mate, with a splendid silver snuff-box. The follow- ing gentlemen were the committee of presentation. John Hoadley, William Holmes, John aye ‘Samuel Price, Thomas Lewis, John Todd, Thomas }» Patrick McGowin, Frank Clark, Thomas Biss Glover, George Hinder, James ‘Tinker, Wm. Garthwaite, The articles were presented by Mr. Hoadley, who made a neat speech,which was neatly answered by the Cuptain. We think the gifts were nearly as neat as the speeches, and the following inscription on the pitcher almost as neat as the snuff-box :-— “ Presented to Captain Howes, of the Ship Russell Glo- ver, for his gentlemanly conduct to the passengers on their voyage from Liverpool to New York.” Indeed the whole affair was the neatest of the kind we ever saw. Neatall round. Cuatuam Tuearre.—The masterly performance of Metamora by Mr. Forrest, at the American Theatre, last evening, drew a full and enthusiastic audience.

Rosinsox, of the firm of Robinson & Ward, druggists, sworn.—We have sold Hay’s Liniment, pre- pared by Dr. Comstock, for anumber of years. Mr. Bur- ritt offered some of his manufacture to us, but we rofused to purchase it. The medicine is in general use, and much of it is sold. It was introduced by Dr. Comstock. H. Portex swom—l practice medicine; W. J. Burritt, the complainant, had an article put up that he called Brandreth’s pitls, and which was an imitation of the ge- nuine article ofthat name; they were put up in the same manner and with the same labels; this was in 1934 or 5; he continued this business for two years; Burritt has em- ployed me to put them up for him; he also put up se- veral hundred groce of counterfeit Morrison’s Hygean Pills, to imitate the genuine ones, A.'B.

Davip Hoapiey sworn—l am a druggist, of the firm of Hoadley, Phelps & Co., of this city ; we have purchased Hay’s Liniment from Comstock & Co. for some years; we have repeated orders for it, and have had for two or three years ; Burritt, the complainant, has been often ad- vertised as a counterfeiter of other peoples’ medicines, (Two bottles of Balm of Columbia were here shown witness, one being Comstock’s manufacture, the other Burritt’s, between which he was unable to distinguish, on first examination, on account of the imitation of Bur. ritt’s, but finally stated that the firm to which he be- longed once had the agency of the English manufacturer of the Balm of Columbia; and upon a re-examination of the labels on the bottles, he said ;that he considered the bottle marked Comstock & Co. as the genuine article.) Samvuer B. Scuinrre.in sworn.—l am of the firm of H. H.
