The Pope no Bugbear and Beauty no Fiction, THE FIRST CHURCH AND THE LAST JODGMENT The Fathers of the Republic and the Fathers of the Chureh, ALECTURE, Delivered by Rev. Dr. Pise in St. Peter's Church, on Sunday Evening, Dec. 22, 1844. “And changed lory of the incorruptible God into an imoge made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts and creeping things.”—Romans, 1st chap. 22d If it were not well authenticated, it might seem truly incredible that men could be so completely buried in idolatry as were the ancient Romans, according to the description given of them by the inspired Apostle ; that it wasnot merely an obscure and barbarous people that bent their knees to cor- Tupt things, but that the most enlightened, the most powerful of all nations of that age have been guilty of thisincredible idolatry, is what strikes us with astonishment. They forgot not only the Creator of man and beast—they forgot him by whose pow- er all things were called into existence; they set aside his providence,and attributed all their events, whether of a prosperous or adverse mature, whether in peace or in war, to mere chance or blind fatali- ty. They set aside the infinite intelligence, and hav- ing thusswerved from the very truth which nature herself must have taught them, they bent before material things; they adored as their gods the stars of the frmanent, the beasts of the field, the mon- sters of the deep, and the worst passions personi- fied in their demi-gods, and even in the great dei- ties which they worshipped. The perfection of their worship consisted in forming to themselves images or beings—beautiful women—great, vigo- rous, powerful, well proportioned men—having the faculties, sometimes, of developing themselves in dense mists, sometimes in breaking upon the world in glorious and dazzling light, and sometimes in rapid unearthly chariots, darting like the wina from space to space; and these imaginary deities were personified and rendered as it were, visible in the marble that had been fashioned by the cun- ning of their artists; and these statues were con- sidered by them as participating of the divine na- ture—not mere representations of their deities, but that they dwelt in them,and that they possessed di- vine power, as in the case of the statue of Miner- va, which, aecording to the testimony of Tully himself, when thundering in eloquence against the nation for having removed that statue from the Senate House, he declared it had fallen from the heavens, and was worthy of divine adoration. The great statue of Jupiter Olympus, which had been fashioned in the most noble proportions by Phidias, was said by Quintillian to be more adorable than the deity which it represented. Now this was idolatry. No wonder that the Apostle to the nations should assert that God in consequence of fis most incredible idolatry, gave overthe most enlightened people of the world to darknessand the mostdeceitful passions. ‘‘ Where- ore,” he says, ‘God gave the people over to the desires of, their hearts, and professing to be wise they became fools” But how different is the re- spect which we, as Catholics, pay to our sacred images, and if you choose, our venerable saints. Tous they.are the mere representations of great and distinguished personages. They are the book which all can read, which at once strikes upon the eye, and upon the heart of every individual. Take any picture representing any portion or passage of the sacred scriptures, of the life of Christ, and what impressions will it not raise inthe contem- plative mind. It I behold Chnst depicted on canvass,standing with his benign and amiable fea- tures, shedding smiles upon the modesty of a little child, and calling to his disciples, “ suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven”—will not the child when he casts is eyes upon such a repre- sentation, learn a lesson which sinks deep into his young and susceptible heart; whilst its parents in pointing its attention to the image, remembers that “unless they themselves become as little ones, they cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven,” and are thustaught a lesson of infinite charity. If a Magdalen is presented tothe public eye, at once the people there beholds the image of the most sin- cere penitent; that female with dishevelled hair, her hands crossed and banging upon her heaving bosom, her eyes fixed intensely on the skies—is she out of whom the Saviour cast seven devils; is she who anointed his sacred feet with precious ointment,bathed them with her penitential tears; at the sight of that image they hear of her penitence e and at once melt with sympathy for hers and con- trition for thier own sins. ita picture of one of the primitive martyrs be placed before the considera tion, the days of ering, persecutien and trial come to his memory; when hunted to death, driven from home and their families, even jatu the caverns of the earth, rather than let aay single fragment of their incense burn before the gods of Antiquity, they suffered themselves to be cut in pieces, and thus re an example for all osterity ; and all true Catholics, rather than Eneel in adoration of ony statue, either ot Christ himeelt or the Saints, would suf fer death; because that would be idolatry. Bat in the conclusion of my last lecture, { promised to anawer some objections which arc raveed against the pi ages—aot by the in I d cause there 1s no danger of them falling into idola- try, but on account of the danger resulting to little children and the uneducated. Is there not every danger that they may at least be led into a super- stitious practice and idolatry of these sacred images? In answer to that objection we must refer to the completest elements of our reli- gious creed; we muzt question the tenderest child under our care in our Sunday schools. We must open ina word—not for them in the first instance— the Council of Trent, or the writings of the an- cient fathers, but the little catechiam ; and if it teaches them clearly, simply and intelligibly to their young minds their duty in regard to the use of images, then there is no danger of their falling into idolatry. This is a plain little catechism adapt- ed to the instruction of ourchildren, The question is asked—after the first commandment is given, “what are we commanded by the first command- meat” The anewer is this: “To believe in adore, and serve one true and living God.” The second question is: What is forbidden by this commandment ” Answer: “To worship false Gods or idols ; or to give to anything else whatso- he honor whieh belongs to God.” Third question—“ Does this commandment forbid the i Answer: “It forbi phoned our g , all veneration of Saints or Angels tr ‘ods, ment forbid Answer: “No; we are to honor themas friends and servants, but not with the honor which belongs to God.” ‘*Isit allowed to honor cruci- fixes and holy pictures?’ Answer: ‘Yes, with an inferior and relative honor as it relates to Christ aad his Saints, and are mere memorials of them.” Then this question is put—"* Ma torelics or images” The andweris We i fo, by no means ; for they have neither life aor sense i dd us.” ‘These are the elements of our Chrisiian doc- trine, whica are taught every child in our Sunday schools; and the most ignorant in our congregations muat be acquainted with. And if so, how can it be possible they could be led into superstition or idolatrous worship of images, relics, crucitiges, or statues? Now, would it not be well for those who are so ready with declarations and denunciations against the Catholic religion uJ consult fase oo not our! or voluminous wor! ut this little schione aah inetruct themselvesin our tectuafone again it” And hee, befor ore felowe NEW YORK, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 24, 1844, this Catechiom, I cannot let this opportunity pass by, without adverting to a circumstance, which not long since occurred in this city before a nume- rous, and, I believe, respectable audience, when an orator arose, took into his hand a Catechism, and attempted to turn into ridicule that portion of it which relates to the ‘‘ Hail, Mary ;” and with- out attempting to give the slightest explanation, he put the question, ag if it had been in the Cate- chism, ‘ Who made the Hail, Mary ;” and it was really astonishing that in the attempt to turn into ridicule the Catholic doctrine, he turned into ridi- cule Christianity itself—although I am_perfectly confident he did not know what he was doing, and felt no other desire than to pray—‘ Father, for- give him, for he knoweth not what he doeth.” Ii is my duty aga teacher of the Catholic religion, and my pride as a free-born citizen of this commu- nity, to speak out, and explain to the whole re- public, if it could hear me, that very point which was 80 cusinguasoeety turned into ridicule on go great and solemn an occasion The question in the catechism_ is thus :—first of all we say the hail,Mary—*Hail, Mary, full of Grace; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit.of thy womb, Jesus.” This is what is called the first part of it, and which gi he name to it from the first words—as is usual in other cavea, for instance in the Excelcis,the ““Magnificeat,” the “ Benedictus.” The catechism then asks, “who made this first Aves Y” and the answer. which was held to be so ridiculous, is—‘ Tae ange Gabriel and Saint Elizabeth made the first part.” And how ia this proved? Go to the first chapter of Luke, and 28th verse, and you will thus read:— “andthe angel came in unty her, and said, Hail! thou that art highly favored; the Lord is with thee; b! art thou among women.” And again in the 42d verse, Elizabeth continues it— “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Oe womb.” Therefore, it is true as holy writ itself, that the angel Gabriel and St. Elizabeth composed the first part of the ‘* Hail, Mary!” and we must believe so, if we believe Scripture at all; and, therefore, if the Archangel Gabriel, arrayed in celestial light, descending ona cloud, the messenger of the courts of heaven, to a woman, could address her in these words, I should like to know what superstition it 1s in me, an hum- ble, jaaancrantates address hier in the same sirain as Gabriel. Therefore, when this point was brought before that audience, and when it was so brought before it as to make the audience suppose it was superstition—and a specimen of what the poor Catholics believe, and a proof of their ignorance and of their perfect want of knowledge ot scrip- ture—it was not perhaps understood at the time by those addressed, that this part was truly composed by Gabriel and Elizabeth. The second part of Hai! Mary is this:—**Hail, Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death.” According to all the arguments I have adduced in my preceding lectures, it is use ful, proper, and scriptural, to pray to Saints and the mother of our Saviour. But the main objection is this: that we call herthe mother of God. Now, how do we call a woman the mother of God? Do we not believe that Christ was God made man, and that Mary was the mother of Christ % Now, if Mary was the mother of Christ, and if Christ was God made man, therefore Mary was the mother of God made man ; therefore there can be no possible objection by these who believe in the divinity of Christ, to the tittle we give Mary. From the elements of the catechism, then, which are learned by every child, it is manifest that chil- dren go instructed, know how to distinguish be- tween the worship of God and the mere external reverence we pay to sacred images. Again, it ir impossible that any Catholic,instructed in the prin- ciples of his religion, can so far forget his instruc- tion, as to offer adoration to mere statues—to mere images, when he remembers what is con- ede inculcated by the Council ot Trent, which forbids any favor to be asked of the imager of the Saints; forbids any confidence to be placed in them, and asserts that in imager there is no inherent virtue. All this is te be found in the Catechism of the Council of Trent ; and the second coun- cil of Nice expressly states that “it is good and useful to have and keep in churches images of Jesus Christ and the saints.” The Catholic Church at all times has been sedu- lous in watching over the pure foith of her members.— The Pops, who have been so long and so frequently mis represented, and whose names have become, even in this enlightened country, so many bugbeare, will be found from history, always the firatto explain the doctrines o! thechurch, particularly the doctrine relating to sacred images. We may refer to the epistle of Gregory thy Great to Cyrenus, in 599. The Bishop of Marseilles had inconsidera‘ely ordered some of the sacred imsges to be removed from certain of the churches of his diocese, for unfortunately he was tainted by Iconocl; ‘The Pop immediately addressed him a letter, which must bere garded by persons of all creeds as fail of good sense ane worthy the present days of christianity—"If,” said he, “you had forbid them to be adored, we should only have to approve you; but we blame you for having broken them. Tellme, my brother, have you ever heard thai any ether priest did attempt what you have dene? If by nothing cise, you should have been restrained by the consideration that you set an im before your brethren; for it is one thing to adore the painting, and another to lea.n from it what we should adore. What scripture shows to those wh can read, the paintings show to the illiterate who caunot.” Now is this not the most enlightened doctrine and a confirma: tion of all that I have sated. Can it be an objection tc any man who can appreciate the works of art, or know: how to feel properly on regarding a national, social, religious picture? Besi if by paying respect to cred images be in danger of falling into idolatry, church would have been the first to raise her voice ainst their abuse; for the church has within her bosom @ conservative Principle of truth; for the churcb was established by Christ and fortified with iv- fallibility—that is to teach the truths of her greet founder, and committed to her to be handed down from generation to generation, tothe endoftime. Ifthey, who under pretext of reforming abuses. had only listen. ed to the sage counsels of Gregory the Great,there would have been no necessity for to break the most re- markeble images of antiquity. The Painters and Sculp- tors of the present day must be, indeed, thankful to the ancient Church for having perpetuated these beautiful and instructive arts ; for, it the spirit of heresy and revol' ae it displayed itself inthe 9th century, had succeeded, there would have been an end to ail the beautiful emano tions of genius that have inspired the canvass and the marble ; anse, as | have showed you, when those who opprsed the sacred imoges in the days of Constantine Capronymus, who declared painting to be a diabolice) and black art, the Church rai her voice and condemn ed the errors end the vandalism of the Iconoclasts. Who does not feel the charm of painting aa wel the charms of beauty? He that is insensible to the ia aman as fit for treason, as he whois insensible to the other. Hear that venerab/e father ef the ancient Church—hear St. Ba il, in @ discourse on one ofthe martyrs, hurling forth is cloquence into this strain Apooar ye admire painters, let your pencils give the last finish to iubject I have been feebly sketching—by the magi of your colors, bring forth on the canvass those charms Thave so feebly described; Ishall cheerfully yield the palm.” Thus; we find St. Bi il, one of the ancient fa thers and canonized saintsef our chureh, doing justice to the painter, and showing the utility of representing on canvass #ome martyr, or great champion of the Christian faith. Another sacred writer, living at the same time says—'' I have often seen it, but never without shedding tears; because it represented, so accurately to the eyes, that terrible rcene, that none that once sees it,” &c. Tell me, after this, that there is no utility in sacred imageg Augustine speaks in high terms of a beautiful composi- tion on the same subject—but why should I continue tu descant 6n this subject, or continue to Lag Vege you those burning passoges of the elequence of the primitive times. There never yet wasa great or venerable cha recer on the earth—no matter what was hia creed, but must, on beholding in St. Pets Church that master. piece ef Michael Angelo of the Last Judgment, feel ali the terrors of that greatcatastrophe? Tell me, then, is there no utility in such paintings, which place in terrific colors before the eyes, as well asthe imagination, that dread day, when the supreme judge of the living and dead appears with his angels coming with great glory to judge theqnick and the dead ;whenthe archangel seizes his trum , whose sounds we almost hear, Y looking at the living canvass, proc! jing ‘arise ye dead and come to jadgment.” Teh me that sinners are not awakened at that awfal scene—that they will not be roused at the con- templation of that scene to expect its coming,and prepare forit? And if there is any so stupid as to suppose that the use of such representation would Jead me or any Catholic to commit idolatry? It really seems aston. ishing, that it becomes necessary for me before an en lightened community, to vindicate the doctrine. And yet enlightened as we are, I very much apprehend, after alll have said, perhaps some one sweeping assertion about the idolatry of the Church of Rome, will remove al) the impressions I might have made, There is nothing more easy, or forms a mere ready subject of popular Ce bagel than what agreat preacher in England once used to call his Cheshire cheese. When he had nothing else to preach Sbout, he took Popery; and it is astonishing that such could’ be acceptable always to the audience to which he ae ‘With regard to the character of our paintin; it certainly is very much to be regretted that paintin, Not very elegant or well executed, but such as are suita- ble to excite sentiment, should be in use.

In the very commencement of the church, certainly we cennot ex rtant pattern Sree find man; ‘ures or statues ‘in the Chrintis fearlet nd why? cna in the a of ohurches should Be sdoraed with image there were no ohurehes to be edorued? We koow that the Christians were obliged to fly into caves and secret places and dungeons of the earth. We know that not until the reign of Gregory theGreat were the ancient Pagan temples consecrated as christian temples. But we know from the testimony of Tertullian, who wrote in the third century, that in those days of persecution and blood it was the cus- tom to have an image of the Grod Shepherd en; the chalice aud sacred vessels; and Tneodosius, in the first book of his History, says thet the Empress Eudosia sent to Pulcharie an We Virgin Macy, which shows that Theodosius the christains of his times had sacred images and pictures, But there is upon record what really may be considered an extraordinary testimony, that in the remotest peried of christianity imeges and statues were introduced for the respect of the people. Eusebius, who is styled the father of ecclesiustical history, in the Jays of Constantine the Great, relates what, if it did not stand upon the testimony of so great a man, might also be ridiculed Here is his teatimony. in the 7th Book of his “History of the Church:” “It is said that the woman miraculously cured by our Sa- vior, as We read in the gospel, was a native of Cessarea ; that her house iastill shown there ; and that to perpetuate the beneiits she had received, she had placed betore her ence bronze statue of a woman stretchit forth her nds. te J uently it was customary in the earli those ‘mages, for he says he had seen thore Paul, Now these statues existed until the days of Julian the Apostate, and Julian who bad abjured the Christiaa faith and reverted to the idolatry of his ancient Pagan forefathers, ordered the statue to be broken into pieces, under the impression that it was a statue of Jess Chi (Dr. Pise here read an extract detailing the de. struction of the imoge by Julian, and the devotion of the Christians who gathered up the fragments through a feel. ing of veneration for it) Here then, the Christians of the earliest periods coljected up the broken fragments of the sacred image which the Apostate Julian had ordered to be broken. Now,the Iconcclasts imitated the conduct of Juli- an, whilst the Christians collected the fragments ond pla- cedthem as memorials in ther hurches J must detain you something longer than I intended, because it is nec for me to couclude this subj ct this evening. I 5! therefore bring before you the testimony of some of the most distinguished and venerable fathers of the Protestant Episcopal Church,opproving of this practice; and when I shall have adduced only one or two, their testimony add- edto that ut all preceding Christians beyond the six. teenth century. @ada majority down from tho sixteenth century, and whenI have added ths testimony of the fathers of the church—when I will show, aa I have done— that it was the usage of all primitive times, and based upon the sacred scriptures—that it is not anti-scrip- tural, but consistent and agreeable with the commands of scripture—then would it not become any candid mind when he hears any voice raised to decry the Catholic religion as idolatrous, todeny the charge. Ido not say he will become a Catholic, but when he has heard what [ nave adduced, he must, however reluctantly, acknowl- edge that our doctrines are misrepresented,and that when properly understood, are vindicated by the best possible authority. But I will bring before you the testimony of Montague, that pious and learned Bishop of the Epi: calChurch, He declares of sacred images that ‘the of very great use in exciting emotions of piety; the tures of Christ may ppanea and used by the Church. er ice ind of the blesved Virgin, and the Saints The Protestants , ko.” That is to wn 4 the Protestants of his jnot the Protestants who have said on a recent occa- sion In solemn Convention, that the Catholics are guilty of idolatry in their use of images; and those who belong to the same Church with ort Montague, who stands here the vindicator of this docts and hurls pack upon ‘is own brethren the insults they have hurled upon the venerable institutions ofthe Catholic Church. (Dr. Pise here read another passage from Bishop Monteguo,strong Vv in favor of the Catholic doctrine.) erhue for the authority of Montague’s testimony corroborates all (have said; we find him raising his voice against the ob- jections, and sustaining these venerable tenets of the an- cientchurch. Archbishop Lard in a speech betore the atar chamber in 1637,expresses himseif to the whole cour- tiers there assembled thus :—'I hope a poor priest will be allowed to worship God with as lowly reverence os you do; since you are bound by your order and by the consti- tution of Henry5th,to give due honor and adoration to your God and to his altar, though that comes far short of divine worship.” Now I argue that if it be lawful to pay honor and reapect to the alvar, it is lawful and proper to pay re- spect to sacred images. In venerating th we venerate what is made of marble or wood, o: it no veneration to it ; it is insen: vay respect red images, not to the materiai, not to the canvass, not to the art, but to ‘what ia represented {€ Tean venerate the statue of Washington so far aa to accord it national honore—ro far as that, if an enec y were to raise hishandagainst it, it would excite my re- sentment ; it is because he represents the republic, and the houor is paid to the father of his country, It is upon the same principle, that if that sacred image were injured, 1 should ‘not for scke of the — picture, itself merely, feel myself as a Christian insulted; and it ic be commendable to so feel towards the statue of Wash- ington, how much more should it be #o in relation to the statue of Jesus Christ expiring for our salvation. ‘Remem- ber that it is the easiest posable thing to ridicule; and when I hear my religion ridiculed and celumniated, a saying of antiquity comes into for the nenefit of all, I will translate: ny more f Rourresu than the hss y o are the to-day against Catholics. For it is impor- sible that if our doctrines were only investigated, they sould be decried; and we are bound toenquire and ask this questton, ‘Are these Catholics so vlind, are their clergy such slaves to the Pope as they are ssid te be?” That is a question that every candid and fair man should put to himeelf ond answer it. Were they to do so here would be more respect for the ancient religion. Then the faith of a Thomas a Kempis and of a Fenelon would not 'e considered quite so idolatrous ; or, if you choose, the religion of Latuyette, whose memory claim our respect. And yet, when we hear, aa we have often done, the aasertion made, that if the liberties of America ever fall, it will be through the intrigues of Remish Priests, may we not ask how is it possible that Lufeyetta recommended, 60 years ago, the lute venerable Bishop of this Diocese, then a young French priest, to seek a home See oouny. He came, recommended by Lafayett:. And would he ever have done so if he thought that from Romish priests the liberties of this country. which he loved, were in danger. On the strength of this letter of introduction, the young French privat was ad- mitted to the frieudvhip, the society, the confidence, of Washington himself ; of Randolph, to Patrick Henry’ to whom he taught the French lJanguage, being taught by that revered man, the English in re- turn. And how does the subsequent conduct of La fayette compare with theirs? In his last days he became a pious Catholic, and before breathing his received the consolations of religion from the hands of a Romish priest, as they choose to style them. Why not this in stance besbrought before the people, when they are told of the intrigues of Romish priests against the country, to shew that he who battled for and loved the one. died in the arms of the other ?_ Why not respect the religion of this great man, and of others born upon the soil? Of c rrolitan, who risked his millions of dol is in signing the declaration of inde- tholic? Why not respect the et Chief Justice of the Uvited States, ic? Why not respect the religion of the amiable, the accomplished, the eloquent Judge Gaston, who is also a Catholic ? Is itto be supposed that these were all ido ators end conspirators aguinst this country? Yet, if we take the statements that have gone abroad, it is impossible not regard the Catholic religion as unfit to duce anything great, or noble, or perfect. Ido net know that Washi -g- ton himself objected to aa ine when I find in the jt ey! there not be more of charity, more of benevolence period of peace, not more “ _ to God intne highest, and on earth peace and willto man.” Why not at this festive season puta ide all prejudice and discord, and learn to respestand live in charity with one another; and Jearn this lesson—that if all cannot be Catholics, all can: not be Protestants ; but that our religion teaches us all possible religions, sociel and domestic duties, and that pon it. Why not then should this the cry inst it must have originated either in ignor- anee or (but I i ¢ not) malice, The next lecture on Sunday night will be on the subject of the Cross.

Since my last to you, of 3d instant, via Savan- nah, advising the arrival of the Marmora, in seven days and a half from New York, none of your es- teemed journals have been received. The only papers received here by the Marmora, of the 24th ultimo, containing the news per steamer Hibernia, from Europe, was the New York Herald. His Excellency the Captain General, upon being in- formed that some late accounts of the last critical movements in Spain had been received, imme- diately sent on board the Marmora for a copy of the New York Herald, with which he was imme- diately furnished by her gentlemanly sailing mas- ter, J. W. Gales, of N. J. The booby who is the correspondent of the New York Express, was somewhat surprised not to find any paper of the same date. Presuming, however, that poor Brooks was somewhat ‘ill about the election of Polk, he made up a story about his package of pa- pers being mieiaid, Business here is extremely du!l—no produce being in market. The coming crops will be late this season, and we do not anticipate any great stir in business before June. Exchange on Lon- don is down again to 104 a 114 per cent. Vessels are arriving 1n abundance, but can find fo employment, nor could we recommend any more coming out before April—thoge now in har- bor marty to pay their tonnage dues and port chargee, will remain here.

The Political Pot Boiling—Railroads, §c. James Gorvon Bennett, Esq.,-— In this goodly city the elements of discord seem to be hushed between the Argus clique on the one side, and the Atlas clique on the other. But it is the calm which portends the storm. The waters of strife are bitter, and run deep, and it will require all of Governor Wright’s well known skill to bring anything like harmony out of the bad feeling he will find to exist among his friends; but he isa shrewd man, and if the Argus has the State print- ing, and the Atlas the Legislative printing, one barn burner has this appointment, and one old hunker that, all may be well; but we advise all your office-aeekers to be promptly on the spot —the ‘*Cato of America” will be prompt in his appointments, and they will not have to wait the ambling pace of the ‘‘ old white horse.” Bad luck for tavern keepers. . It_is whispered that Major Flagg will be called by President Polk to the Treasury department. He would doubtless adorn that station, but his friends say he would prefer to remain where he is; having become identified with the present financial policy of this State, he has set his mind on having it carried out. We have been favored this week by a meeting of railroad monopolists, representing, or rather misrepresenting, the great line of railroad between this and Buffalo, The privilege granted them last winter of carrying freignt during the close of the navigation by canal, has thrown these wiseacrer all into commotion, and the two cardinal things under consideration now is, which of these mono- polies shall take the biggest slice out of the people, and how they shall contrive to avoid paying toll to the State. There seemsto be no head nor tail to this convocation, unless, indeed, the head be a certain netorious Wall street speculator, who, no: long since, undertook to come it over his friende in Harlem stock, for which perfidy he was made to “suffer some”—and the tail, the amiable cashier of adefunct red dog #uffalo Bank.

The tucts of the case (as have been cun ascer partly related in the Herald) as nearly th ‘Richard Knowlton, of Sand Luke, Rene- ounty, purchased a piece of wood land from Wil- liam Vao Rennaelaer, and had employed a mun by the name of Ebjah Smith to haul a quantity of the wood. While engeged in loading up his team on Thursday laat, Smith was eccoste2 by a party of “Indians,” some thirty in number, who threatened to take his lile sf he should venture to remove the wood. Smith, disregarding thess threats, continued his work, and when his load was ready jumped upon the wagon and started his horses. He war immediately fired at by one or more of the Indians, and snot dead Such are the particulars, as we glean them from the Troy Budget of last night, und from the various rumors whioh have reached eur city. Whetherthe Go vernor will feel called upon to issue another proclama tion in this emergency, we sre not advised. 1 hat some- thing should be done, and that_without another day’s de- lay, to put an inst and eff-ctual stop to this lawless bloody’ work, isthe unanimous opinion of our citi tens. But they can do nothing until the Executive |: ada the way, and that functionary, it is understood, is trou. bled with doubts and scruples without number We mentivned yesterday that the Sheriff of Columbia had succeeded in arresting three of the principal persens concerned in the “ anti-rent” movement in that county They were taken to Hudson, and placed in the jail there for safe keeping. Apprehensive that an attempt would be made 4 the “ Indians,” to rescue these prisoners, the Sheriff made application to the Governor for a supply of arms. Two hundred stand of muskets were accordingly tent down to Hudson yesterday morning, and with these and two field pieces, belonging to the city, the Sheriff will doubtless be able to make the jail secure against an. assault. We haveno idea, however, that an attack will be made, as the Indi ¢ not likely to trust themselves in any city or populous villge. It is reported to-day that the Sheriff of Columbia, attended by a large posse of armed men, went out yest mA morning to seek a further acqua ntance with the “Indians” of his County. We shall probably hear the result of the interview to night.— Albany Journal, Dec. 21. Tue City or Memruis.—Not lees than three hundred stores and dwelling houses have been erected in Memphis since January last ; and over a hun- dred of them fine brick stores, some three stories high Every day seems to add its new blocks to our city ; and ther. now not Jess than a huadred buildicgs in rapid Buren times or Polk times, alike fail in paralyzing the spirit of enterprive and improvement in our city ; straight onward, she has been progressing without interruption for many years, and when or where Memphis is to stop, we cannot seo, Tuesday gave our city another plat of round to spread herself out on.

Court of Oyer and Terminer. Dec. 23—This Court was opened esterday by His Honor Judge Kent, ond Aldermen Bunting and Jackeon, The Grand Jury panel wos called over, when fourteen only having answered, His Honor inquired if there was any business to go before them. M.C. Patenson, Eaq., District Attorney, in reply, stated that the business he had occasion to bring before the court, was already disposed of by the former Grand Jury, when the court hereupon ordered that the Grand Jury discharged for the term. Severo! petic jurors were fined for non-attendance, when the following prisoners were arraigned :— Cicero Winterbottom. indicted for arson, in setting fire to the dwelling house No. 604 Water street, in the month of July last, wat ned and plead not guilty, John M.

The ‘not Atrornxy Oppored the motion, andthe court said that they would look et the case to-night, and Give their decision to-morrow. Scarcity or American Saiwons.—It has beeu satisfactorily ascertained, that of all the sailors whe navigate our ships, one fourth only are Ameri- cans. According to the laws that govern the mer- cantile marine of this country, the crew of each ship must be composed of two thirds natives; the other third to be filled up as it may best suit the captain or owner. We do not hesitate in asserting that, in the last twenty-five years, not a single ship has left America for a foreign port, with a crew of evenone half American. In times of tranquillity, this arrangement is pro- bably wellenough; but in the event of @ war, it would be dreadful for our commerce. Our ships are now navigated with skill, it is true, and they take a high rank throughout the world; not, how- ever, by aid of the foreign sailors, but because the captains and mates are Americans, with their full share of energy, enterprize, and skill. This energy, however, mixed as it is in equal parts, with indomi- table courage, will be of no use in time of war un- less sailors are found to throw in their assistance. In all wars between this and any other country, the scene of operations will principally be on the ocean. With the powerful navies ot England or France, manned by sailors drilled from early life at Na- tional Naval Schools, what can we do? Can we cope with them? Can we even do as much as we did in the last war? England has more sailors than she can employ in times of peace; France can raise ina day more seamen than,we can in a month ; Sweden, on an average, has, at least, one sailor on board of every American vessel ; while America, with a population of 20,000,000, and a commerce standing second in the world, has less than 10,000 seamen whom she can call her own. These facts are capeble of an easy demonstra- tion, and they are almost as startling as they are true. Nowis there no remedy? Havewe the raw material for sailors 1 In this country we have the elements in farmers’ and mechanics’ sonsto make thousands of as noble seamen as ever reefeda sail. These boys are longing for the sea, but, unfortunately, they have no means of getting there. Most of them being poor, they cannot enter the Navy as Midshipmen, for it isa notorious fact that wealth and influence at the polls keep that list full. Neither can they enter into the merchant service, except by family influence, so long as experienced sailors of some nation can be obtained. Thus, at least, seventy- five thousand brave fellows are shut out from the service of thiscountry for want of means. Now the remedy for this evil isto be found in a Naval School—such, for instance, asthe one that was or- ganised here four or five years ago, and which was abolished in two years afterwards, because it turn ed out too many sailors. Some of the “ appren tices,” as they were called, of this school, are now petty officers in our Navy, and one in particular, though yet a boy, is of great value in the Engi- neering Department at Weshington. This useful school was established by Thomas Goin ef this city, whoee intercourse with sailors has been life- long, and it was not until after yearsof toil thathe succeeded in impressing upon the government its absolute necessity. Ithas now, however, only a aominal existence, and the line of battle ship North Carolina, used for a Receiving Ship, which an- chors off the Battery every summer, is but a fag end of the system. It is to be hoped that Congress will take up this matter the present session and see what can be done for the seventy five thousand boys who are now so eager to become sailors. Let something, at all events, be done tofpreserve the purity of the laws, passed by Congress, affecting our seamen. Let the two thirds” rule be enforced, if no more. Let it be borne in mind, however, that a Naval School is the great desideratwm in this business.

Communication from the Comptroller, with accompany- 1g estimates of the expenses, and forthe year 1845, amounting to the enormous sum of $2,097,600 89. Mr. Jonnson moved its reference tothe Finance Com. mittee. Mr. Caantice moved to have the document read. The enormous amount claimed by the Comptroller, aod the document sent in by him, was one of the most important documents of the year—a document that interested the community at large, more than any thi: hat has come was chiefly owing to the salaries of the nominees ap pointed by the present party in power. He was of opin- ton that the document ought to be read end then printed, and not be referred silently to the Committee, in order to stifle the matter. [he estimates ought to be published, and the present party ought to change its policy of gov- ernment. The Ken for lamps and gas this year amounts to a claim for $152,820—last year it amounted bnt to $112,- The motion for reference was lost—oyes 6, noes 7. The communication was then read. Mr. Cuanutox moved that the document be printed in order to be able to ascertain the comparative amount of the estimates ‘or the last year and the present year, and to let the community seo how the“ Reform party,” who promised so much “ economy” in the management of the city government, kept their pledges. was in favor of priuting the entire document, as in lookin through the different items he found that in almost e! of them that there was an increase ot be ger asked for. He hoped the document wot be print ed for the benefit of the public at I In the department,for clearing streets alone, the: ag @ large increase, and yet the streets were never in a more filthy condition, The various items showing the enormous increrse was disgreceful. Let them but look to the ex penditure asked for $2,097 600 80 The cost forthe Alms House last year for 7 months was $120,000. This year it comes to $152,000 for the same tme. ‘The streets this year were about 35 per cent more than the last year. Last year the estimate was $23,000, thie year Lamps and gas last year $119,000.
