NEW YORK HERALD. , July 20, 1844, SPLENDID ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD! The Riots and Murders in Ilinoi Another splendid illustrated Weekly Herald will be ready this morning at nine o’clock, containing a series of beautiful engravings, illustrative of the recent dreadful riots and assassinations at Nauvoo and Carthage, Illinois. This paper will be indispensable to all who wish to preserve for themselves, or transmit to their friends abroad, a full, accurate, and graphic his- torical account of those- extraordinary events of this age. Sailing of the Great Western. This favorite steam ship, under the command of the popular Matthews, will sail at two o’clock this afternoon. Her letter bags will close at one o'clock, ‘Those who wish to make a few capital remit- tances to Europe can send the InLustraten Werx- ty Hexavp, containing all that has transpired on this continent since the departure of the Britannia —the last steamer. They can also send the Moxn- ing Heratp of to-day, containing the latest news by last night’s mail. The Illustrated Weekly Herald, in wrappers, is 64 cents per copy—Morning Herald 2 cents per copy. Both can be obtained at the desk. ‘Texas and Mexico, We publish to-day a number of very important do- cuments, recently come to light, relative to the ques- tion of the annexation of Texas to this country, the feeling in Texas on that subject, and the very important step taken by the Mexican government, in calling for the interference of Ewropean powers in order to prevent the annexation. The first paper is taken from the Madisonian, and consists of the President’s message to Congress in secret session, toget ier with two letters, one from Mr. Allen, of Texas, and the other from President Houston. Other letters, anonymous, are also given in the Madisonian—but {rom the very circumstance of their anonymous character, we do not think it worth while to republish them. These papers are designated the “‘suppressed documents,” and are now probably published under the authority ef the President, and are no doubt quite authentic. The Mexican document is a letter addressed by the Secretary of State of that Republic to all the for- eign diplomatists in Mexico, inviting the interfer- ence of the powers represented by them, for the pre- vention of the annexation of Texas to the United States. ‘These documents throw a great deal of new light upon the present relations of Texas and Mexico, and the annexation question, and will no doubt contribute much to keep up the excitement in the public mind in relation to these important matters. According to the indications afforded by the recent election in Louisiana, it would seem that the Texas excitement has somewhat abated, yet itis difficult from the data thus furnished to arrive at any accu- rate conclusion as to the state of public sentiment on this point It is said that both parties assume the same ground on this question, and if Mr. Clay be elected, there can be little doubt that the annex- ation measure is destined to be, under his admin- istration, one of the mcst important questions of the day. The rejection*of the treaty by the Senate, must not be regarded as a rejection of the measure by the people, and the public menin Europe who con- sider it in that light commit a most egregious blun- der. This, however, is not to be wondered at in them, as from their ignorance of our affairs, public sentiment, and the manner of ascertaining the state of popular feeling, they are constantly blundering in their views of the great questions which agitate the people of the United States. By and by, how- ever, their eyes will be opened on the Texas ques- tion. Tue Great Tycer Ratirication Mretina at LAST, aND NO MISTAKE.—By another announcement, under another name, in another paper, the great mass Tyler meeting is positively set down for next Tuesday evening at the Apollo Saloon. It will be one of the richest, rarest, funniest assemblages ever seen of the sovereign people. This Tyler party almost equals the industrious beings which Dr Lardner’s gas microscope discovers to usin aglobule of water, in the amazing facility with which i! produces and re-produces its committees, wire- pullers, leaders, and John Joneses of all descriptions Heaven knows how many committees they have had in this city during the last three years, and their organs, too, have been numerous. Before the hottest of the fight comes on, we should not be surprised to see another organ in this city. Lourstana Evgction—Jacos Barker.—The re- cent election in Louisiana is still a very knotty point, and we must wait for additional informa- tion and statistics, before we can form a correct opinion as to its results. These will be very inter- esting and we expect to receive them in a day or two. A gentleman formerly well known in this city, took a distinguished part in the proceedings— we allude to Jacob Barker, Esq. This gentleman was one of the inspectors of election, and after it was over, he came out with a statement in justifi- cation of his conduct, and that of his associates. This is, as all who know Mr. Barker will readily believe, a very able, and at the same time a trium- phant vindication of his conduct. We shall pub. lish the whole of this document in a day or two, when the full returns come to hand. APPOINTMENT oF Maaistrates.—We understand that there are some twenty applicants for the office of Police Magistrate, now so ably filled by Justice Matsell, whose term of office expires in the ensu- ing month. It will be difficult for the Common Council to select one whose knowledge, honesty and efficiency will equal that of the present incum bent, and they would concur with the wishes of « large majority of che community by his re-appoint- ment. Tar Froops in Mississtrr1.—The recent floods in the course of the mighty river of the southwest have been the most destructive within the last fifty years. It is estimated that property to the amount of fifty millions has been destroyed—one half being cotton. This may be an over-estimate, but the loss will be immense. We give in another column a very graphic and apparently accurate description of these floods, from a correspondent of the Providence Journal. This is the best ac- count we have met with. Stonor Vacentini’s Extertainments.—Signor Guireppe Valentini, the far famed original “Valen- tine Vox,” gave an entertainment at the Concert Hall, Broadway, last evening, assisted by his father Signor D. Valentini, and Miss Keane. These en- tertainments are certainly quite a novelty, and are worth attending; the ventriloquism is decidedly the best we have ever heard; the wonderful perform. ance of the elder Valentini on the ‘ Harmonico Mandelino,” will astonish all those who hear it; and must be heard ere any statement will be be- lieved regarding it. Miss Keane’s singing is both sweet and pleasing, such as is not generally to be met with at such like enteriainments, and at pre- sent we do not think she has her superior as a pub- lic singer in the city. This party only intend to give two more concerts, one on Monday afternoon and the other in the evening; so that, by the for mer, families may have an opportunity of hearing without the disagreeableness of late hours, It will be regretted by the lovers of original talent and good music, if they allow this opportunity to mise them ; the comic Italian laughing song at the con- clusion is worth more than ali the money. Nothing to equal it was ever heard in this country before. Prestpgntia, Evgction—Proeaviz Resvuts.— There is a most unaccountable degree of apathy in the ranks of both political parties. It is a remark- able fact that the recent meetings, both of Whigs and Democrats, in this city, have been, generally speaking, miserable failures. We see nothing whatever of the old energetic spirit which collect- ed the factions in thousands, and burst forth in all sorts of sound and fury. We should not be at all surprised if the Tyler meeting next week would turn out to be the largest and most enthusiastic pe- litical gathering we have seen in this city during the present contest. Two dayssince the Democrats held a mags meet- ing of the Fourth Congressional District, up town, but we are assured by persons present that it was @ very meagre blage. The Whigs also held a Congressional District meeting somewhere in the same neighborhood, and it also was a failure so far as numbers and enthusiasm were concerned. In fact, according to all appearances,we are more and more inclined to think that Mr. Clay has the best chance to be elected next President, and we should not be at all surprised if he were elected by a large majority. It is very evident from the recent move- ments in the Democratic party in thiscity and else- where, that the feeling of indignation wath which the friendsof Mr Van Buren received the nomina- tion of Mr. Polk, has notat all subsided. The recent movements of the Evening Post—well known as the organ of the Theodore Sedgwick clique of poli- ticians, and also of Mr. Van Buren on annexation, indicate that the old leaders of the democratic party have assumed a position almost of neutrality in the present contest. Mr. Van Buren and all his friends are standing |. There will, in all proba- bility, be great trouble in the democratic ranks re- specting the nomination of the Governor of this State. The speeches of Mr. Benton, also, on the Texas question, which have been so industriously circulated by the whigs, have had no inconsid- erable effect in producing the present apathetic cendition of the democratic party. Judging from all these things, we are inclined to believe that the old leaders, and wire-pullers, and office beggars, and camp followers of the de- mocratic party, would be rejoiced by thegdefeat of Mr. Polk, as demonstrating to their satisfaction what they condemn as the ruinous policy of Cal- houn and the cliques udverse to Mr. Van Buren. And if Mr. Clay should be elected, as all now ap- pears to indicate, we don’t despair of some modi- fication of the present tariff law, and also of the re- newal of the Texas agitation with added energy and fire, and perhaps also of other important measures now lying in the back ground. Suicipg at Brooxiyn.—Yesterday morning, the body of a well dressed man, apparently fifty years of age, was discovered in a secluded part of the coal yard at the foot of Jeroleman street, East River. Ithad ona black summer frock coat, light colored Valentia vest, blue-figured cassimere pants, light summer stock, entirely, new; cotton shirt, linen bosom; canton flannel under shirt, and draw- ers of the same; light calf skin boots, but little worn. In the pockets of his clothes were found three one-ounce vials, and one two ounce vial, all of which were labelled “laudanum,” from the drug stores of Mr. Bailey, James W. Smith, Mr. Howard, and Evans, Wallabout. They were all empty, except one of the one ounce vials; also a valuable gold watch and expensive gold guard chain, and $11 in money. From the marks onthe watch, the deceased’s linen, and other clothing, it was judged, and correctly, that his name was As- pinwall. The nose of the deceased was broken, the head and face bruised and covered with blood, probably by a fall. One of the coroners of the city of Breoklyn, Mr. Alex. Okes, was, shortly after the discovery of the body, on the spot, and caused it to be removed to his residence, and im- mediately proceeded to make inquiries; and it was found that the deceased, whose name is Aspinwall, had been a resident of New York for some time past, and had several relations reniding here. In the afternoon an inquest was held on the bo- dy before the coroner, Mr. A. Okes. John Shields deposed to finding the body, as before stated. Jas. S. Aspinwall stated that he recognised the body to be that of his brother, Thos. M. Aspinwall. He had seen the deceased the day previous about 12 o’clock. He then appeared as usual. He had been for some time in a low desponding way, and occasionally evidenced symptoms of slight mental derangement, but not so much so as to call for par- ticular attention. The witnesses and cthers having withdrawn, the coroner summed up the evidence, and in a short time the jury returned a verdict, that ‘the de- ceased died in consequence of taking laudanum, while laboring under mental derangement. Arrairs in Canapa.—Our neighbors at the north seem to be in a very unsettled state. We had sup- posed, from the tone of the Canadian Presstowards this country, and of their remarks relative to the Philadelphia riots and Mormon murders, that Can- ada was a blessed place, and the only Paradise, ex- cept England, in the civilized world. We would fain suppose this now, but the Montreal Herald, one of the loyalists of papers, gives a sad view of affairs in the very capital of Canada, where a Gov- ernor General and a large body of the flower of the English army are stationed. We have lately given extracts showing the mob spirit among these happy provincials, and the annexed isa confirmation of those already published. [From Montreal }Terald, July 18.) Montreal is tast verging towards a drvadful state of an- archy and barbariem. In addition to the brutal conduct of pretended anti Orangeists, we have repeated acts of recklessness ard disregard of life on the part of cdbmen and calechemen. A few days ago, a woman was knock- ei down in the Quebec Suburbs ig acabman, who then whipped his horse and escaped. A little girl was run over in Dalhousie Square on Monday. ‘A day or two since, Dr. O'Doherty was knocked down and severely hurt by a cabman, and has been dangerously ill since. And yes- terday Ca Doyen, of St. Or Canadian gentleman of respectability in that h, was struck on the breast by the shatt of caleche No. 149, belongingto one Milton, and driven by alittle boy, and the wheel passed over his body. He died in the course ofan hour a hall. The untortunate gentleman was 74 years of age. It must no longer be confinedto complaints and regrets, The citi- zens must assemble and devise means for protecting their tives, since the authorities have proved themselves utterly and disgracetully incompetent. Language does not far- nish us with expressions severe enough to record our detestation of the indifference of police, and other autho- rities, to the safety of Her Majesty's lieges. Apart from the above, we find nothing of politi- cal consequence in our Canadian papers. Through- out the Provinces the crops are represented to be abundant. Granp Exnwrtion at PatMo’s.—We learn that Dr. Lardner has taken Palmo’s Theatre for next Monday evening, for the purpose of exhibiting his nnequalled philosophical apparatus. All the princi- pal objects of attraction in his collection will be exhibited, and the doctor will also give his lecture on the © Plurality of Worlds.” The spacious ac- commodation offered by the stage of the theatre willenable the doctor to present this highly inter- esting exhibition to great advantage. Joun Jonrs.—In the present dearth of any attrac- tive exhibition at the American Museum—in the absence of giants, dwarfs, and six-legged cows, we would advise the caterers for public amusement at that place to engage John Jones. If Barnum were here himself he would have John without regard ‘o “enormous expense.”” John would draw— wouldn’t he? There’s not a politician in New York but would be willing to give a sixpence for a sight of him, and many would even give a shil- ling, or even a quarter, if they could borrow or steal one in any quarter. Tux Marton over rm Beacon Coursk, Hono- KEN, THIS Day.—The admirers of good trotting will certainly be gratified by what is presented tothem this day over the above ground; we need only re- fer them to the advertisement for particulars, and they wil feel perfectly contented, and be present. Amid all the treats promised by the spirited pro- prietor, we do not think he can produce a better niece of sport during the remainder of the season, han is to come off on this occasion. Yesterday was # grand holiday for the more ju- venile portion of the community of our sister city, and truly a most noble display they made ; we never saw some five or six thousand more healthy, good- looking, well dressed, better behaved, and appar- ently,well fed, children assembled together. They were at once a credit to their parents, their teach- ers and directors of the schools ; and if only their minds are anything like their appearance on this occasion, it augurs well for the generation that is to come. The order of the day was, that the schools should meet at their respective school houses at such hour as the district committee di- rected ; and, at three o’clock precisely, form on the southerly side of Sands street, right resting on Washington street, under the direction of Cyrus P. Smith, Esq., Marshal. The line being formed, the procession, preceded by the Mayor and Com- mon Council, (as Commissioners of Common Eohopled.. and the Board of Education, passed through Washington street to Concord, through Concord and Pineapple streets to Hicks street, up Hicks street to the ground on the corner of Jerole- mon street, belonging to W. S. Packer, Esq., who kindly offered the use of the same. On reaching the ground, and the children having been seated on the grass, they. were bounuifully sup- plied with iced lemonade, after which they sung several song or hymns, ina very pleasing and ear- nest style. Dr. Tuorne, superintendent of the schools, then addressed those present, congratulating them on the display made on the oceasion—first the trustees of the Schools, then the teachers of them, and lastly the supporters. He traced their progress from their first establishment, and gave a very lively aud gra- phic account of them. He hoped that the children ad received such education as would make them know better than everto attempt or act such scenes as had so recently disgraced the city of “brotherly love.” Jonnson, Superintendent of Schools tor Kings County, gave a digest of the system upon which they were conducted ; and called upon all present to encourage them, saying they could not do better tor that purpose than by sending their children ; in those schools they would get a much. bewer, a more thorough and useful education than they could in 9-10ths of the private schools now in existence, a Mayor Spraaue of Brooklyn next addressed the assemblage, and congratulated those present on the pleasing occasion which had called them together. He told a very intesting anecdote of some two friends of his, which we are sure will strike deep! on the minds of his more youthful hearers with good effect. In conclusion he reprobated the sys- tem adopted by some authorities of having engine houses and such like places for thé youths to assem- ble in on the Sabbath aay; and permitting them to stand on the corners of streets smoking ‘long tailed” segars, and insulting all respectable persons who came near them by their conduct and obscene expressions. Such were not, he hoped, the educa- tion they were affording to the youth of this city— indeed he was sure it was not. The Hon. gen- tleman was listened to with the most marked at tention, and at the conclusion received considera- ble applause. 4 ; Dr. Kina, late Superintendent of the Schools in Kings County, next addressed the assemblage con gratulating them on the oceasion, during which he made some beautiful observations to the youth as- sembled. ‘ : y After one or two other pieces of music being sung by the children they were supplied with lemonade and cakes; after which they formed a procession and repaired to their different schoo! rooms. Junction or THE ATLANTIC AND THE PactFic.— J. C. Pickett, Esq., U. S. Charge d’Affaires at Lima, has come out with a long letter concerning thé‘long proposed and much talked of canal across the isthmus of Panama. Of the five pointe at which an artificial communication might be open- ed between the two oceans, Mr P. is satisfied that the isthmus of Panama is the only one which promises favorably. Mr. Pickett, who appears to have reflected care fully on the subject, after having visited the isth. mus, gives it as his opinion that the Panama ship canal would cost from thirty to thirty-five millions of dollars. The difficulty of procuring laborers, of preparing timber and stone, and of enduring the debilitating climate, constitutes a formidable ob- stacle Mr. P. does not, however, regard the pro- posed route ason any account impracticable. Hr estimates that should the canal be constructed by « company, with the expectation of an adequate an- nual interest, as many as two thousand ships must pass through it annually, paying onan average one thousand dollars each. The conclusion at which Mr. Pickett arrives, therefore, 1s that the undertaking would involve great expense, and the encountering of many diffi- culties, but that the project isa noble one, and ought to be carried through by some united effort of several of the saesiae commercial nations It is argued that the Mexican Government has al- ways had in view the project of a canal through the isthmus of Tchephuantepec, and has of late years made strenuous efforts to procure its accomplish- ment. Why might not the Government of the United States, after ascertaining its practicability, give Mexico assistance in the undertaking? A glance at the map will show the infinite advantages which a pi e at the point indicated, or at any point from the Gulf of Mexico, would give to the commerce of the United States, over a passage leading out of the Carribbean sea. If the work is feasible (and there is every reason to believe that 1! is nearly as much go as the proposed canal to Pano- ma,) there is no enterprise within the compass of hu- man means which would produce such vast benefi- cial results to this country, This fact is self-evident. No commerce in the Gulf or in the Pacific ocean could compete with ours. Our white sails would ps thiagolden bowl.of Mexico, make the mouth of the Columbia a great city, and establish at the Hawaiian archipelago a vest entrepot ot American merchandise, to be transported thence to every,ha- bitable spot of Oceana, and on either shore of the Pacific. The importance of a short route to the Western Ocean, and by a way not intersected by the British island of Jamaica, will be strikingly manifest,if we contemplate the possibility of having to maintain our rightto the Oregon by force of arms. How will we transport thither provisione and men, and munitions of war? How contend with a power which has already in the Pacific vast means and extensive possessions at command? It is true, that any probable contest for the por ion of Oregon must occur long before such a work, (ii practicable,) can be completed ; but if we occupy the country we shall always have it to defend, and by any route at present in our power it would be difficult to maintain with that region, even in peace, the constant intercouse that is desirable between different parts of the Republic. Moreover, if we were on such terms with Mexicoas would allow # passage through her territories, there are land routes fromthe Gulf to the Pacific much shorter and less difficult than any in our own borders. Horers 1n Apany.—We understand that the ‘American Hotel” situated in State street, about half way up, has been repaired and refurnished in the most elegant style. It is kept by Mr. Bement, and is one of the best houses in the Union. ‘Congress Hotel” is also a fine house. It is sit- uated on the top of the hill near the State House It is a very excellent establishment—very quiet, and agreeable. Traver to Western New Yorx.—One of the best routes—indeed the best route—to Niagara Falls is via Albany, thence’toSyracuse by railroad, and then by canal boats to Oswego. Then at the latter place take one of the splendid steamboats which navigate Lake Cntario, and which convey you to within a few miles of the Falls. This mode of travelling, most agreeably diversifies the route, for the venerable Job himself, whose al- mighty patience enabled him to regard a terma- gaut wife no more than a flea-bite, would have cried out with weariness if obliged to travel the whole of this road in a rail-car, with nothing to amuse you but an extra bob of the head against the walls of your cage, or a more than usually en- thusiastic poke of your neighbor’s elbow. The Ontario steamboats are the most magnificent pa- laces that ever floated on the busom of that lovely lake. Srramsoat Portsmoutn, on her trip down from Albany, on Thursday, July 18th, when below Cets- kill, broke her crank, and had to return to Hudson for a new one. She will be ready to leave Albany for New York at 7 o’clock on Sunday evening. —Another num- the Bible has just Harrer’s Iuiuminat nia ber of this magnificent edition of been publishes ed Harpers. In the quapity of the paper upon which it is printed, the elegance ot its typography, the number and striking merit of tis pietorial iilustrations, and the general appear ance of the entire work, it is by far the most su- perb issue of the American press. Persons who desire it should bear in mind that, the earliest co- pies are of necessity the best. The numbers are sold at 26 cents. New Carwouic Cuurcn at Parra Amnoy.® Perth Amboy, small and dull as it is, does not want for churches, but the Catholics having hitherto had no place of worship there, have taken measures to provide one, although there are very few resident at that place. To the liberality of their friends they have been a good deal indebted, particularly those of New Brunawick, many of whom, it issaid, contributed with the greater readiness on account of a difference with their present pastor, who is considered by the remonstrant part of his flock as too fond of standing up for the ‘‘rights of the cler- gy,” as too exact a disciplinarian, in temporal as well as spiritual. ‘Thursday having béen the appointed day for lay- ing the foundation stone of the new edifice, a con- siderable number of Irish Catholics began to as- semble at ten o’clock, and continued to increase slowly up to the time of the ceremony,which was to take place at noon. The Rev. Bishop Hughes, as was expected, arrived by the New York steamboat, ac- companied by the Rev. Mr. Maguire, Rev. Mr. Kane and Rev. Mr. Madrino. After a short recess the Bishop and his assistants repaired to the site of the proposed church, where a plattorm, shaded by an awning from the intensely hot rays of the meri- dian sun, had been erected for the convenience of the clergy. A good number of those belonging to other sects attended, and seemed to listen and ob- serve with much attention, and with an entire ab- sence of that indecorous levity which the some- what picturesque ceremonials of that religion fre quently excites in those who do not understand their spiritual intent. An excellent feeling, however prevails among the ‘‘foreigners” and the ‘na- tives” in that place ; indeed, there is no distinction made between them in any particular; and, to the credit ot the people of that part of New Jersey be it told, many of them came forward and presented donations'in aid.of the erection of the Catholic Church at Perth Amboy. | Bishop Hughes, dressed in his ecclesiastical rober and mitre, ascended the platform at noon exactly, and commenced the service by a short explanation of the nature and tenor of the cer-mony that was to follow. Some, he said, might not, being unac- customed to witness it, be struck with seeing re- ligious services conducted in an unknown tongue, and one unintelligible to the hearers; but when they reflected that prayer and devotion were di tected to the Almighty God,who knew the thoughts although never uttered ; when it was recollected that the language used" was once the vernacular tongue of the great empire in whose metropolis the successor of Christ established his holy church— that it was not first used for the purpose of mystify ing religion, as was often alleged, nor was it re- tained for that purpose, but because it had, through long usage, through the cultivation of some of the great minds of antiquity, acquired a high degree o} perfection and definiteness; and for that reason, as well as being now solely a written language, free from the mutations, the changes‘in idiom and meaning, which were constantly operating on modern tongues. All such ’ceremonies as those about to take place had quite a different object from that of sanctifying matter, as if bricks and mortar or a corner-stone were susceptible of sancti- ty. They were observed because they indicated the purpoee for which those things were intended They were intended to impress upon the spectators the importance of sanctity in their lives, and to keep before them the holy end for which religion aimed, and for which the church was founded. The cros» was the universal emblem of Christianity—the shortest mode of expressing the great mysteries promulgated by Him who suffered onit. The con- secration of the corner stone was performed with a proper remembrance of the truth that ‘‘ unles: the Lord blesseth the work, the builder buildeth in vain ;” and the use of holy water was not for the purpose of sanctifying matter, but as expres- sive of the purity of soul for which all should strive These rites and ceremonies were observed by the Catholic Church, not because they were any part of the essence, but because they were figura tive of its great truths, and the medium of commu nicating through the senses of hearing and seeing, with the soul. Bishop Hughes continued to de- fend these Catholic ceremonials from the charge ot mummery, answered the objects of those iia to the senses, by showing that the divine author of Christianity did the same; that he used mean: tangible to the senses in all his miracles; he in. stanced the cases of healing the blind man, and raising to life the widow’s son, to show that he never exacted a spontaneous exercise of faith w testimony was given satisfactory to the senses, tha! the power of God was in operation. The Catho- lic religion recognized the paramount importance of spirituality of worship, but did not, like ethers, consider it inconsistent with this to use means, or did the Holy Spirit, when with the sownd of a rush- ing mighty wind, it filled the whole place where the Apostles sat. After this address the Bishop and clergy present laid the foundation stone. The ceremony was very simple, A few prayers and canticles in latin. were said and chanted, holy water sprinkled, an the whole concluded by a sermon. The text was from the 126 Psalm: ‘Except the Lord build the house the labor is in vain of those who bnild it.” {n concluding the discourse, he forcibly enjoined upon his hearers to show by the purity of their life, by their honesty, truth, integrity and industry, to those who might have wrong impressions of their religion, that itwas a holy one, and expressed the high satisfaction he experienced at learning that in that neighborhood such an amicable and good un- derstanding existed between those he then addrese- ed who were to worship in that Church, and those of other persuasions. When the sermon was concluded the clergy re- tired, and a considerable sum was raised by dona- tions from those present towards the erection of the edifice, which will not be of great extent; intended principally to serve the private wants of the con- gregation. Literary Notices. A Vorck rrom Rome ANsweRED BY AN AMER- toan Crt1zeN—Campbell: Philadelphia—Saxton & Miles: New York.—This is one of those accursed works that every now and then disgrace the prese of all countries, the issue of as bigoted and intole- rant parties as ever those were, or ever can be, that they pretend to reprobate—having for its ten- dency the sowing of discord between persons of different religious opinions. We fear that the re- cent disgracefnl disturbances in that part of the country from§whence this work{Jemanates, have been fanned into a flame by this and such like works.
