Newa from Europe, }aif a month later than be- fore received, may now be Lourly expected, the Britannia being over due at Boston. A Hint for the News-Boys:} A number of News-Boys behaved very impro- perly yesterday in the neighborhood of this office, and gave considerable annoyance to persons look- ing at thebulletin. Wegive them only one hint. If they do not behave themselves with strict pro- priety, we shall prohibit the sale of any copies of the Herald to any News-Boy, and give the whole monopoly of supplying the public in this city to the regular carriers. ‘The Recent Election—Its various Results. During the last week we have received a variety of returns from different parts of the country, suffi- cient to enable us to ascertain that Polk and Dal- las are elected over Clay and Frelinghuysen by a majority of nearly two to one of the electoral vote; and yet itis highly probable froin the complexion of the returne we have received,that itis by a minori- ty of the popular vote throughout the country com- pared with all the other votes cast against them. We have partial returns from the remotest extromi. ties of the republic—from Maine to Louisiana— and judging according to the best lights we have, we have constructed the following table, indica- tive of the peculiar character of the election just passed, and the singular closeness of the contest:— Exectioy 1 104. a Electors. _Majorities.

The actual official results ceived we will publish in this journal. They may vary tosome considerable extent the statements now presented in the table just given, but we doubt whether there will be any great variation so as to change the aggregate character of the general re- sult. It will be seen from these returns that although Mr. Polk is elected by a majority of nearly two to one over Mr. Clay, in the electoral vote, yet he will probably be 15,000 of the popular vote behind the aggregate vote cast for Clay and Birney united. This would make him.what is strictly termed a “ minority President.” * Yet it is no less true, that even if the great State of New York had gone for Mr. Clay, Mr. Polk would have been elected with- out it. Foritisa singular fact that nearly the whole of the valley of the Mississippi, with the exception of Kentucky and Obio—under the immediate personal influence of Mr. Clay and his friends—has gone for Mr. Polk by a large popu- lar majority. Then again inthe Southern States, with the exception of North Carolina, all have been carried by Mr. Polk. In the central States, he only loses Maryland, Delaware and New Jer- sey, while he carries with him New York and PCUABY IVAN. The divideo uguia im she qrout BOW England formation of States, although he is in the minority in the popular vote there. These results present an extraordinary state of facte, which willgive rise to a variety of reflections in the mind of every independent man. One ofthe first things which strikes us is the glaring evidence thus presented to usof the mistaken confidence, the folly, the weakness, and the absurdities of the friends of Mr. Clay during the last summer and throughout the contest. Theyseemed to be utterly ignorant of their position during the whole of the canvass; for itis a memorable fact, that one of the most popular of their journalists—Horace Greeley—actually estimated the vote of the State of New York at a majority of 20,000 for Mr. Clay, and this at a time when the contest was at its hot- test, and the extraordinary formation and progress of the “liberty party” stared him full in the face. That might have forced upon him a very different conjecture. We are not surprised that {the whig journals throughout the country are lamenting with the extremity of pathos the defeat of Mr. Clay, and wondering what has caused it,and can scarcely real- ize the fact that such a distinguished statesman has been defeated by such an obscure personage as Jas. K. Polk of Tennessee. They mustlook upon their own arrogance, folly and absurdity, as the cause of this} humiliating defeat. During the last summer, when this journal, independant as it was and is, of all ridiculous personal or political influences,calmly and resolutely pointed out to the whig party their position, what was the return we received from these journals and these politicians? Why we were denounced with the extremest violence as being a locofoco in disguise—as being purchased by the locofoco party—as being in the pay of the locotoco party, and as being actuated by mercenary motives in all our statet.ents! Who has come out the most accurate and faithful in all his statements nowt During the whole of that contest we fear- lessly toid the whigs, and told the whole country the position of things, and every thing has come out as we predicted. Mr. Clay—one of the most distinguished men that this country has yet pro- duced—although he may have some defects of character—has been defeated by the folly, the ar- rogance, and impudence of his own friends and his own party. He has been destroyed by whig Journalism—by such journalism as you find in the New York Tribune, the New York Courier and Enquirer, the Boston Atlas, the Richmond Whig, the Louisville Journal, and the Albany Evening Journal—papers with a greater disregard of truth, justice, honesty and moderation than these, never existed. Now they are weeping aad wailing and @oashing their teeth. But they have done the deed. Their lamentations are vain and futile. With the returns of this contest before them— with all the evidences of their folly before them— how are these journalists now engaged? Instead of extracting wisdom from the folly of the past, they are beginning already to perpetuate fresh ab- surdities, and to commit new follies. In the midst of a@ prosperity that will get the schemes of all trading politicians at defiance, and lay ali panic makers on their backs, they are striving to get up a panic in business, and to proscribe the poorer classes of society because they exercised their right of suffrage as they chose.— Some are for repealing the naturalization laws, because a portion of the naturalized citizens voted against them ; others are for all species of proserip- tion against those who opposed them. We see indeed, on all hands, amongst these whig journal- ists, the same folly, the same absurdity, the same falsehood, the same licentiousness which led to their late defeat, and which must inevitably lead to similar disastrous results hereafter. The victo- ry of the democracy has been won by the skin of its teeth, yet we doubt whether the whigs can avail themselves of their singular position and strong forces to recover power in 1848.—We shall wait and see. deal, Omio Rivew-This river at Cincinnati on the 12th instant was high enough for the largest boats. 000,000 300,000 THaNKsorvine IN VeRMo imo, —On the Sth prox- Ci Bi cL cy - 1349 679 Mo - 09 3730 O17 7 Camde m jew county. it 6 U 1190 1549 17k = peed tos taza 38S BO Gloucester. . 2388 73 Mu 902 7 Hudso cd wa 19 0s 8 Hantes 8: 2733 244 3386 - Mercer. tit ds ate = ° “pe = een EY 2830 3221 3h 3 2150 08 26 uM 962 1602 vol 9 1302 1775 1493 3 1s 2139 1978 - fom 1057 266 1645 2899 - 31038 36318 «$7945 wi STS Increased vote Maryland Election.

One of the most curious that we have recently,geem is that éxer- cised against one Lewis Chemberlain who keeps a barber's shop in Broadway. It seems that like all other barbers, he has his shop open on Sunday for the accommodation of the public, and on one occasion he happened to sell a tooth-brush or some such fifty-cent article. For this heinous offence against the corporation laws he was fined two dol- lara for selling goods on Sunday, and took the re- ceipt as follows:— 92 0900000000000000000000 Oy g New Yorx, June 13th, 1944.

SAMMONS, o $250 Corporation Attorney. eee It seems this is a very profitable business for the corporation officials. One of the receipts, as, we perceive, numbers ‘220, and the other ‘ 519,” and we have seen others as high as nearly “1000.” There must, it is clear, be a very pretty penny made by carrying these ordinances into operation, The Wier UE TLS, UML ParUCUlge tiedi-iduats appear ew be singled out as objects of annoyunce and fine, whilst others, guilty of permitting the greatest nuisances, are allowed to go scot free. Thus, in many of the streets, large heaps of oyster-shells, and ashes, and other filthy obstructions are allow- ed to remain in front ef cellars and houses, without the slightest attention being paid to complaints against those who commit the nuisance. It would be much more to the credit of these corporation officials if, instead of pouncing upon poor barbers for selling a toeth-brush on a Sunday, they would remove from the public streets the accumulated filth of three or four months. eccceccce eococece ecoecccey eocccooesc° Tur Carnorics or Boston aND THEIR OrGaNs. —We perceive that a meeting of the Catholics of Boston was held the other day, for the purpose o! repudiating an article which appeared in a paper called the Pilot generally regarded as their organ, and which had | «ca eagerly seized upon and turn- ed to their disadvantage by the whig party in that city. It was attempted to be shown by the Boston Courter, from the article in question, that the Irish Catholics did not love America, and that they voted just as their priests directed them. The first of these assertions is utterly ridiculous. In no country under heaven is there so general and deep regard for every thing American as in Ireland. In almost every family there 1s a sympathy for Ame- rica, arising from the tenderest associations con- nected with relatives who have adopted this coun- try as their ome, and also from that ardent love for liberty and free institutions which 18 so charac- teristic of the Irish heart. As for the influence of the Catholic priesthood in this country over the political action of their people, it is about equal to that exercised by any other clergy. In some rare instances—such as that of Bishop Hughes—the priests may have attempted to control the political opinions of their flocks; but that game is not likely to be repeated hereafter, and the very indignant terms in which the Boston Catholics disciaim the imputation alleged against them, will be re-echoed by all their intelligent countrymen throughout the Union. Micnican Exection.—The majority for Polk will be about 3,500, porchance a little,over. The democratic candidates for Congress are all elect- ed: MeOlelland, Hunt and Chipman. The demo- crate have carried every senatorial district, choos- ing the whole nine senators elect, which will muke that branch of the legislature unanimously demo- cratic for the next year. As far as heard from, forty-one democrats and four whigs are elected to the House of Representatives, Districts which elect eight representatives are to be heard from, which may give the whigs three or four more. From Grenapa.—The Star, Captain Paterson, arrived last night, bringing accounts to the 4d ult. We learn that an arrangement has been entered into with the Governor of Rio Hache, to permit vessels to lay at that port ten days, provided they do not land any part of their cargoes. Masters of vessels are required to have a correct manifest of every article on board, and any neglect to comply with this requisition, even in the minutest particu- lar, renders the vessel liable to full port-charger, and also to seizure. From Sr. Jaco.—By the arrival of the Curlew, Capt. Crowell, we have received later intelligence. The disastrous gale of the 5th and 6th ult., passed over St. Jago without doing any damage. Accounts frora ‘Trinidad state that several houses had been blown down at that place, and that the shipping in the port sustained considerable injury. The crops, also, suffered much. Produce of all kinds was very scarce; freights low, and business dull. The American Consul died on the 6th October. From Mataca.—By the John Brewer, Capt. Far- ren, arrived yesterday from Malaga, we have a few days later cnt yi ean The VV. 8. vessels which were expected there to aid in raising the, steamer Missouri from her present position, had not arrived, but were hourly looked for at Gibraltar. Inptan Summen.— Yesterday was one of the loveliest days we have ever experienced. on the Invocation of the Saints. St. Peter's was densely cfowded last might, and probably one-third of the audience consisted of Protestants. This was greatly owing to the publica- tion in the Herald of the Doctor’s introductory lecture, which excited universal interest. The subject of the lecture last night was the “Inyoca- tion of the Saint e text being passage in Paul’s Epistle to the Corinthians, in which he exhorts them as “ wise men,” to “flee from idols.” Dr. Pise be; by saying that it was his intention to appeal from the deci- sion of the late Hplecopal Convention. in os re > which accused Catholics of idolatry’ in add their prayers to the Saints—he. would appeal to tl wisdom and candor of his audience—to the history of the ae the primitive fathers of the church—and more ‘portant and higher than all,to the Holy Scriptures. The church of Rome, he maintained, had universally warned and exhorted the faithful against the sin of idolatry, and had affixed to that sin the severest jalties. In discus- sing the subject ofthe Invocation of Saints, he would en- deavor to answer two questions—and that first, what that invocation was not—and secondly, what it was, In the invocation of Saints, Catholics did not mean, as was falsely asserted by some, to elevate the Saints into demi gods,to clothe them with the attributes of deity. TheSaints were merely creatures, and possessed only the ordinary attributes bomenity. In order to show what was meant by praying tothem, he referred te the catechism of the Couneil of Trent, a8 translated by Professer D»novan, of the Royal College of Maynooth, and read the pees pearing. on this point, in which it is declared that to God alone is the prayer cf the falthful addressed for the bless- ings which he has promised, whilst the saints were merely entreated to intercede with Gud in support of thore prayers. Then Dr. Pise went on to answer the questions —*Can the saints hear us?” and, secondly, “ it s0, does prayer to them for their intercession derogate from the mediation of Jesus Christ?” That the Saints cannot hear the prayers of the faithful he asserted was utterly incapable of proof--that they do hear them, was capable af. matretion. ‘This he then endeavored to show from the fac! it thé prophots ef ehl-werounabled. by special manifestations of divine favor,to know not only what w to come to pass long: heir death, but what was tran: piring at a distance from them whilat they were on earth. He inst-nced several instances of this, and then pereed on to the parable of the rich wan, who in torment held Lazarus in Abraham’s bosom, and called on Abraham to send someone to relieve him, as affording evidence that the Suints knew what was going on on earth, and could be properly addressed in prayer. ‘Then he went on to argue that as the devil was possessed the power of going about all ever the carth, and tempting every one, why could not the Saints be gifted with the power of hearing the faithful and ministering to them?— Dr, P. next went on to vindicate the practice of invoking the Ssints from the charge of depreciation of the inter- cession of Christ, He contended thatthe prayors of the Saints only were asked for, and just in the same way as were those of the faithful on earth, and concluded by quoting passages from the fathers in vindication of the practice. We understood Dr, Pise to intimate that he would resume the argument on next Sunday eve- ning. ee eer tas Divine Service at St. John’s Church on Yes- terday—Large and Fashionable Congrega- tion—-Good Clergyman—-Good Text, and Good Preaching. A highly fashionable congregation attended di- vine service at this Church on yesterday. The Church is one of those religious edifices in this city, built upon a model and style of architecture which has given so high a reputation to our city forits public buildings. The exterior ef this beautiful edifice is bold and majestic—of pure Gothic construction—and stands out, when viewed in the distance, amongst the groupes of our noble public buildings, a conspicu- ous and attractive object for the admiration of the tourist. The interior is chaste and simple—built upon the model of St. Paul’s. Five pillarsat either side support the galleries. The pulpit is placed in front, and a superb organ—which, during the ser- vice, lent ita rich and powerful tones—with an ex- cellent accompaniment frem the orchestra— gave much effect to the ceremony. The en- trance of the building is fitted up in a style of costly magnificence, though of extremely simple design, which showed the immense wealth of the corporation under whose auspices and control it wasfirst projected and now flourishes. The congregation is highly fushionable, and the services accord with the doctrines of the Episcopa- lian Protestant form of worship, being a branch of the Trinity Church congregation. Dr. Wainwright presides over the congregation, and his high and acknowledged reputation as a good clergymen— AMO HIE pure ynnramcupy shen eeqercen and impressive discourze delivered by him, breathed more of the pure spirit of the gospel, and of that | meek compliance with those solemn injunctions laid | down by our Divine Master, and inculcating chari- ty, which should characterize every sect of Chris- tains, than any we have latterly heard. The Rev. Doctor took his stand upon the broad platform of revealed Christianity, and while he held that man, endowed with reasonj and gifted with free-will, was geuerally the architect of his own spiritual distresses, he did not take that narrow-minded or sectarian view which many of our modern preach- | ers adhere to, and such as would close the doors of salvation in the face of those who do not belong to their congregation. TheRev. Dr. Wainwright, after the delivery of the service, preached a very excellent slaw whaenseg- Sermon, Teking his text from 6th chap of Hosea, y, 4. O Ephraim, what shall I do unts thee? OQ Judah, what shall { do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeh away. Concerning the Jews es 4 peuple the words of the gospel were spoken, aad notwithstanding all the maniles- tations of God’s power aud all the tokens of his loving goodness towarda the Jews, still they w.re never grate ful, They were constantly drawn into the idolatries of the surrounding nations, and never were grateiul to the Lord. Some of them might have felt a taveitory tion of religious awe and reverence for their God ; but it was like the morning light that passeth away, or Like the morning cloud which tinged the eastern skies and passed flittinglyjaway, leaving no trace behind, or like the early dew of the morning that bloweth away before the br of the passing breeze, There was much instability and inconstancy in religion in the present day, and few con: formed te the precepts ot the gospel. Many, however, made frequent resolves to change their habits and modes of life and lead a life of religion ; but it was like the Jews of old, it was transitory und evanescent, and they still ‘sisted in pursuing the wrong. When arrested by the and of sickness and thrown upon the couch of the sick man, they would then feel remorse ; but after health ro turned, their pious resolves faded with the glory of the morning suo, and they would relapse not their former errors—and such were the oy, Jews. Every one 8 ' who heard him should acknowledge that this was tl prevailing error in every Christian community. aid of the intellectual powers was essential to advance the interests of true religion ; and the affections must ga- ther round in order to produce the change which is re- quisite in those characters which are marked by instabrl ity inreligion. Sometimes there were fite of penitence and wild starts of devotion ; but ther: was no deep, no abidiog Fg ed | of devotion—no dependance upon their course, to compel them to continue in the paths they had justentered. There was no stability to be found amongat such men—and the love of their God passeth away ; | buds were put forth—but they did not come to maturity. Self-denial was the great sonrce of there religions ; and unless men possessed the gift of self-denial, they could not have true religion in their heerts. When the bright and beauteous beams of the sun shone forth and illuming- ted the universe—when the worldly affairs of man went well with him—ond the truths of the Gorpel appeared to give atransiiory gleam of comfort to his spirit, which passed away with the breath of the morning, it waa not then that he should stand forth, but it was when the clouds and storm threatened destruction, that man was bound to stand forth, and so in relation to their religion ‘The Saviour dwelt much on the necessity of self-denial in Beeching © BU disciples, and it was the chie! road to salvation. _ The Rev'd. Dr. after delivering a very impres- sive discourse, concluded, when the congregation separated. Irauian Oprra.— The Italian Opera re-opens po- sitively this evening, at Palmo’s, with a new and most brilliant opera, in which the two principal roles will be filled by Signora Pico and Signor Sanquirico. The opera was originally composed by Ricci, for Pasta, in order to display herstriking and brilliant peculiarities. Pasta’s voice was a mezzo-soprano, somewhat contralto, of a quality like that of Signora Pico; and we have no doubt this evening’s entertainment will be delicious. The brilliancy of the house itself will be one of the features of this opening. On such an occasion all the élite of the city will be there, and the scene will be radiant with beauty and fashion. Histortcat. Socirry.—-The fortieth anniversary of this interesting and respectable body will be celebrated on Wednesday next. There isto be a procession and an oration in the afternoon, and a grand dinner in the evening, at the * New York Hotel,” vp-town. John Q. Adams has signified his intention of being present, and the occasion will bring together many of our literati. There is a good deal of anxiety, also, to learn something of the cwisine of the new caravansary at the west end, ao that the whole affair will be very interesting. Foretian Marius.—The steamship Hibernia left Boston on Saturday for Liverpool with forty-one passengers and a large mail. Merman Faith=Tider | se Lec. ture plberday “Wat Got San ted Cammet CreatemLov and Hereafter. The rejected Elder of the Mormons of Nauvoo, once one of their most powerful leaders, has been tor the past week in this city and neighborhood, giving lectures on the Mormon faith, with the ob- ject of getting up a church and sect entirely on his own hook. The place appointed for the delivery of his lecture yesterday was the large room of the * Deutsches Bierhouse,” at the junction of Houston and First streets, near avenue A, where the Native American party of the 17th ward have of late held their meetings, and where many Germans resident in the neighborhood frequently assemble to have their singing parties. The emblems of the other different occupants of the room hung around, and gave it a somewhat singular or unusual appearance for a place of worship. About the time mentionea for the delivery of the lecture, half-past ten o’elock, there were assembled three old ladies, two younger ones, three little girls, ten male adults, and one | little boy; these were afterwards increased by about as many inore at the close of the service. It was near upon eleven o’clock ere the Elder, accom- panied by a friend, made his appearance. He isa tall, stout, elderly, gentlemanly looking man, apparently about sixty years of age, hollow mouthed, having lost his front teeth. His delivery is rather indistinct and low, and very rapid; at other times quite as loud, rais- -ing his yoice to the highest pitch. He is evidently a person but of limited education, one at least that despisea the common form by which such as this is generallyfdenoted; very disjointedin his matter, so.as almost to defy knowing what particular ob- ject his subject had reference to. He used his left hand as if he was pumping violently, every now and then assisting with the right ; and hitting the desk so violently with one or both as to make eve- ty thing on it spring upwards to a considerable height, and keeping those near him from napping if inclined. Having mounied the rostrum at the lower end of the room, in.company with the person with whom he entered, and another, the latter read a hyma in such astyle, that it sounded asif he was on horsebeck, going at an ambling pace ; this was sung to one of those tunes which was so popular among the different political parties during the re- cent election in this city, principally by the Elder’s companion, who made up for any want of sweet- ness of voice by strength of lungs. This was suc- ceeded by a brief rambling extemporaneous prayer by the same person, chiefly consisting of various texts of scripture, dovetailed into one another, in many instances, not with the best possible taste or judgement. Alter this,Elder Rigdon stood up and announced that the subject of his address would be found as follows :— “And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision ‘Sh ‘but who also walk in the steps of that faith of ovr father Abraham which he had. being yet uncir- cumcised,” gc. Rom. v. 12—26, included. ‘There never was before or since the days of St. Paula on so amply able to discuss the great and important rinciples 1 down in the words ost read, as St. Pan) Binge! . There was never aman of such extensive know- ledge, familiar with all the subjects which was necessary to have a correct view of the religion of heaven ; or cne that could so well imprint this knowledge on the mind ot his fellow man. He was not alone content wi h the mere matter of fact, but sought to carry the mind back as fares the human mind was capable o ing—as far as human intelligence was possible to beled. In his attempt to do this he led man to contemplate as far back as the very be- inning of ali things—even to meditate upon what existed fore this world was crested—the plans upon which the kingdom of heaven was based. On this question noone ever gave us as much informetion as Paul aid—no, not one. It is true that some of the other Apostles informs us of their natural acquaintance with heaven, but St. Paul received bis information ctly frem the Lord himself— the only true source from such knowledge could come. Inthe t controversy in the world which gave rise to the words of thetext. The Jews had a notion, which | believe man them have at the present time, as the descendarts of Abra. am, that they were the only race that would enjoy salva- tion--that they were the rigbtful heira to ali things ‘on thin acwtl amd towel honpiness hereafier, It wee ou thie point thet 8: Paul contested jwith them.” Now much on (ais subject may be traced in the writings and doings oi some ofthe other Apostles, but it was Paul;alone whe could elucidate the'matter. Now, the words of the text clearly said, particularly in the 13th verse, “ For the pro- mise that he should bethe heirof the world, was not to Abrahai is seed, through the law, but through the righteo of faith.” Now it was clear that atl would inherit this salvation that looked for by the Jews ; that this Salvation didnot arise ou: of good works, or was of a lineal descent, but consisted of faith in the Lord Jezus Christ. No man ever was or aver could be saved by works of righteousness, nor by the offerings of bulls, goats, or any thing else, or by lineal descent from Abraham, Moses, f the patriarchs that ever existed, or ever . Paul himself once had the same netion as the Jews; but he had a vision of heaven which cleared his eyes. Now this difficulty existed with the Jews, whe- ther they could posstss this salvation as the seed of Abra ham, or whether it wes necessery for them to turn to Christ to obtain it. It wasto show them the latter that caused Paul to write the Epi taken—to show them that il, no matter of what seed, generation, tribe, or sect, if they had faith in the Lord Jesus, they would inherit this salvation. This was bringing the point to its legitimateissue, and in doing so goes back to the very foundation of the netion that it was handed owaby descent to the end of time. showed that it could not be handed cown by the Priest. hood, for they required sacrifices for their own sins— thereioro, they could not give it to others ; even Abro- ham could not receive it from Melchizadeck the Priest, then how was it possible for salvation to come from Abra- ham by descent, and savethem? It was Paul’s object to get them to fix their minds on a few unchangeable truths. He went back and showed whet mon got by this belie! from the beginning of life to the close of it, when he was laid in the silent tomb, and he evidenced that it was the design of God, from the very foundation of the of the world, to save nll men by the sacrifice of his Son. Now a very curious question arose out of this, which | am inclin ask, and that was—what God himself could Jo for the salvation of the world. Now it is evident that every thing was intended for this salvation, and all that God could, can, or will do, was for this purpose. He formed man like himself, and set him in this world not to he destroyed but to be saved; it appears evident to me that God could not carry Adem farther than where placed him, and then what could Adam do towards own salvation w: nother question. I now wish to say something of creative power. What was it? It is im: possible to make nething out of nothing—we had no ac- count of it—it was the formation of matter, and endowing it with spirit, and bringing them up together, This was the key to unlock the whcle of the maj ie making of spirit and matter subservient to each other, Now, what did philosophy tench us on this subject? God could not make himself out of nothing, no he exist with. out creative power. What created God would go on creating other spirits, therefore it was im ible creative power could exist in it of salvation. ter and spirit were in their very natures so opposed to each other, and if these alone existed in heaven, it would not be a both aed place ; and if they existed alone on earth, it would be a still worse world. Now, what was it that made the moat harmony in this world + It was the ties which bind man to map. The object at heaven was to fond things together and bind them in har- mony. Now I want to talk of heaven a great deal, and J will say something of it. Even if Jehovsh make things out of nothing, it would not make the shtest difference : it would be no more than one of you makin; amill. Salvation was the object of it, to save us at ine That thore is a necessity for sin, to all who studied the matter, it must be evident; and Paul himself says, “ Where sin is, there grace much more abounds.” The truth of this I wish you to feelasI have done. Every one that comes on this earth comes alike. There is not one particle of difference in us; and we are efierwards, in a great degree, formed by the circumstances by which we are surrounded. Now let us seo what are these circum. stances Let us look at the conduct of the father and mother when their first-born is placed in their t is this emoiion—see how they hug it to their they feel as if all the Leg beth hell and earth feeling did not exist a ce at circum: Now what is it that makes ings happy—it was in loving and beiag loved— loving as God love isonly son. It was of this that the Kingdora of God was formed—one of his principal com- mands waa “to love the Lord thy God with all your soul, and thy neighbor as thy. ” Love was heaven—hat: was hell—one brought all hay the other misery and death. Then what is to become of salvation? The government of heaven was very similar to that of earth in that which makes man happy, To do this he will auf for more than what ten thousand scourges would inflict. On u previous occasion I have told you what our natural relations would do for ua, and to test the matter | will only ask parents who have lost their dearest offsprings, if they have even forgottenthem? No. What wonld most of us ive to take by the hand a departed father or a dearest mother, If you had sny other feelin, you would be worse than the brutes that perish, and God never intended to mi you such—or that heaven should ever be occupied with such persone, No, if such wa: the case, { for one have no wish to go to such a place, Now let us look a little further back to those who origi- nally existed ; and we find them to be the Father, Son and Holy Ghost or Spirit. Now, what was the Father’ My object has been to show that he was the Creator, ond to slow what he could not do ; also that sin could nover dama @ man, Map could only unde i these things as he saw ond felt. It wos through the suffering of the Son of God, that he reached the high position he holds in heaven, and it was by suffering he went to his eternal home ; and we must suffer in mew hat similar way to enjoy the like felicity aud hi every faith in Christ, Sin must come in the world to perfect our salvation, and one cannot come without the other; God cannot bring his salvation about without it, If rought Adam on this earth a sinful creature, he would not have the rer to check it; therefore, Christ said he would do it by suffering for man, and did suffer as man never suffered before or since. But then Christ could not com- plete) the work hel intended, without the sssistance of Paul , the true Heaven, both Here order, said :—-Gentlemea: This in the private consultation of a few friends of the late Dr. of medical scieace as worthy of some lastia, ful memorial.

It was worthy of jincerest regard of all who can spoceniate tha madenty of true genius andthe excellence of virtue. It is indeed our duty to some suitable testimonial of our respect for our departed friend, and our sense of his eminent ser- vices in the cause of science and humanity. 1 shall be happy to hear the suggestions of any of the gentlemen resent relative to the manner in which our views can be eat carried out. Dr. Hosacw then read a paper which had been pre- viously drawn up, containing resolutions to the effect that the members of the profession be requested to weer crape for thirty days—that a gentleman be selected to pronounce an eulogium on the character and labors of r. Forry—und that a committee be appointed to effect gre be ke of a monument to his memory in Greenwood x ry. These cesolutions ‘were put and carried. Several gen- tlemen were named as qualified to pronounee the eulo- gium ; but the selection of the person was deferred. It was thenanoved that a committee of five be appointed on the erection of the monument. ane Cwainman suggested that the number was too small. A gentleman (a particular friend of the late Dr. Forry) Wen epuaaned ‘ee in order to effect the desired ‘object with as much expedition, and in as satisfactory a manner as possible, the committee should consist of the profes- sional gentlemen present (only a dozen) with power to dd to their number. The larger the committee, the more honorable it would be to the ed, a well as more satisfactory to the profession at large. The Cuarnman wos in favor of th sugeestion. Dr. Rers—Oh! no. What is every body’s business is nebody’s business. The committee must be small. It wes finally agreed that the Committ uld consist of nine, and the persons to compose it were then se- lected, consisting of the medice’ atiencants of the Hospi- tel, and one ortwo othere. It was then suggested by Dr. Detmold that this Com- mittee should report progress at a subsequent meeting, to which the profession generally would be invited. Zi Dr. Rune ‘was opposed entirely to the suggestion of Dr. mold, Dr. Hovsron concurred with Dr. Detmold, and wit posed that, as a matter of course, the Committee wo report at their earliest convenience, at a public meeting. {t apveared to him that every possible facility should efforaed for procuring a very general co operation in the proposed work. He was a* a loss to know what rational phlecien could be urged egainst the usual course of pro- cedure. It would beat least only discovering due petptct to the feelings and paceman of the numerous friends of Di to them the plan proposed for the ‘tion of a monument to his memory, before the’ would be called on to contribute towards it. The emall- ess of the present was an additional reason for calling another at a suitable time in order to hear the re. port of the committee. Severel of the gentlemen of the committee, whose names we did not lean, were quite opposed tothis It would not do—it would defeat their o) ‘they must be left quite untramme}led—surely the matter might be safely left to the discretion of the Committee. It was then moved by one of the Committee, and se- conded by enother, that the whole business be left en- tirely tothem. The resolution was put end carried, and the meeting adjourned. It isto be regretted that the usual secret, bung- ling and miserable machinery of a petty clique, whioh has hitherto characterized every movement of the medical profession in this city, was not dis- pensed with on an occasion like the present. Had the meeting been got up properly, it would have been large and respectable in every sense of the term, and the committee appointed to carry into effect the praiseworthy design of perpetuating the aame and labors of Dr. Forry, by a suitable monu- ment, would have embraced the names of all the distinguished professional men in the city, instead of consisting of a few, who, in consequence of ap- pearing to their brethren in the character of a little sclf-constituted clique, will not be so likely to carry out their object in a satisfactory manner. Profea- sional jealousy had surely little to fear in permit- cing a general and liberal expression of esteem for the elevated character and distinguished services of a dead brother. It is due to the distinguished ind liberal-minded physician who presided at this meeting, that he discovered himself to be free from the narrow and selfish views of the majority of the individuals who were present. Tue Peprstrian Conrest.—The foot race which is expected to take place to-day, weather permit- cing, appears to be the all-exciting subject at pre- sent; the sporting class of both countries taking a great interest in it. It is said that the two pede: « uians from England have greatly improved since she last race, and that it will not be at all surpris-. ing if they should be more successful on this occa- sion than on the former. They are, when in good condition, thought to be two of the best pedestrians in England, having followed the business for years past. Gildersleeve has never ran but two races in public, and could, without doubt, much improve by long training ; it will, however, require great strength and endurance to beat him. For the benefit of our readers who may not have received our paper yesterday, we repeat the sub- stance of the arrangements made torgthejoccasion : The first race to take place is a race of three miles for a purse of $200—$50 to the second in the race. This race will take place at half-past one o’clock, at which time the pedestrians must be ready at the ringing of the bell. For this race, the following persons have entered to start :—William Fowl, J. P. Taylor, Ely Parker, Thomas Green- halgh, Stephen Morgan, Wm. Carles, Edward Brown, Lewis Edwards, Ambrose Jackson, John Steeprock. Out of these some six or seven are certain to start for it. There is very little doing in the bet- ting way on this race; the field is the favorite 100 to 75 ; 50 to 100 on Greenhalgh, if he goes for it ; 30 to 100 on Aly Parker, the Indian, and the same on Wm. Fowl and Ambrose Jackson ; the latter and the Indian against the field ; or Greenhalgh aud the Indians, with the previous proviso as re- spects the former; 5to 1 taken on the Indian against the the field ; 100to 75 the three miles is done, within 20 minutes ; 2to 1 it isnot done in 15 minutes. < The second race is for a purse of $1200, to run ten miles, for which the foliowing persons have entered their names to start:— Me Sicoun Sacdews, | The two. pelstrlens, fate —John Barlow, etwo Grecahaigh, } irom Eeglends 3—Thomas 4—J.P. Taylor, fo. 8—Thomas McCabe, 6—John Underhill, 9—J.L. T. Smith, 6—Wm. Carles, 10—Thomas Ryan, 7—James Bradley, 11—John Steeprock, Iadian. In addition to these there is one name omitted, that of Thomas Jackson. This race will take place at half past 2 o’clock. For this race about eight, perhaps nine will start—the field is the favorite at about pre- vious odds; Gildersleeve and Barlow were against each other,with a considerable number of backers; five to one offered, to be taken on Steeprock against the field; eight to one i ited any others. Among the outsiders McCabe, Corles, and Taylor appear to have the advantage in the betting as to taking one of the prizes ; ten to two the ten miles is not done in fitty-three minutes; ten to three it is not done in fifty-four, and (en to iour it is not done in fifty-five; even it isdone within 574. Variousugly rumors have been afloat for the last day oF two, but we believe without any foundation. We judge as we hope, that the best man will win—So be it The pedestrians will be distinguished by their se veral numbers, which must be worn in a conspicu- ous place—to start at the tap of the bell. At eve: three minutes from the start, the bell will be stru as follows:—Three times when the pedestri should be at the half mile, and six timee aj the mile, allowing each mile to be done in six minutes. Each pedestrian will be allowed two persons to assist them while running. Musica, Yeti—Even in the throes and agonios ofdefeat, the poetical inspiration does not desert the whigs, and the locofoco minstrels are more lively than ever. We have seen a number of eflu- sions on both sides since the termination of the great conflict, some of them pretty good, and others rither indifferent. The best we have seen are the following—the first from the whig muse, the other from the locofoco:— He 1s not Fallen, Not fallen! No! as well the tall And pillared eny fall— As well Oniow genes Yide Roll back on its ty track, As he, Columbia’s hope pride, The slandered and the sorely tried, In his triumphant course tora back.

Methought at eventide [ paused, Qne cold November day, Where dry and ‘an “ ash-pole” stood, Like ghost beside the way ; When on mine ear a wail arose, And slowly o’er mine eye, ‘With solemn tread a lengthened train, In funerel guise, swept by. .

Then “ General Edwards and his son,” ‘That “ estimable” pair, Marched midst a troop of ‘ juveniles,” And dandies with long hair ; While dolorous upon the breeze, All wheezingly and wide, ike his own windy bellows, the “ Poughkeepsie blacksmith” sighed.

Steamboat Couuston anp Loss or Lirz.—On Friday night last, as the steamboat Domain was de- g the river, she encountered the little steamer Col- lier—well known tow-boat in these waters, but now in the service of Government on the improvements in the Ohio—a few miles above Wheeling, and struck her about midships, The Domain went out heavy, and the blow stove the Col in, She had about 30 men on board. The pilot immediately laid her for the shore, but she settled rapid- ly and inded near it with the water nearly to the hur- rioane deck: The engincer stuck to his post till the water came up to his middie, when the fires wasextinguished . and the engine stopped. We regret to learn that man nemed McCone, of Yellow Creek, was drowned. The Domain did not stop to render any assistance, and the men were obliged to remain on the deck all night.
