NE‘ YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, January 27, 1545. Oy Captain Levy, of the U.S. Navy, is request. ed to call at this office. Important from Washington. The Annexation question passed, by a small ma- jority; the Committee of the House of Representa- tives on Saturday last—for particulars see Post- script. The plan is similar in principle to that of the ta- mous Missouri-compromise—dividing Texas into several States—half to be Free, and half to be Slave States, We are also advised that a similar plan will pass the Senate by a small majority—but this is doubt- ful. Everything looks auspicious for Texas. What will the foes of annexation now do ? The Relations between the United States and England—The Great Moral War. We give to-day, on our first page, copious extracts from two very interesting articles on our Mexican diplomacy, which we find in the columns of the lead- ing organs of both political parties in England—the Times and Morning Chronicle. These articles are interesting, because they present to usa clear ex- pression of public opinion in Great Britain with regard to American politics and American affairs, and discover that the meral war between the two countries is rapidly acquiring a degree of intensity which, under different circumstances, might not have been so speedily developed. It will be seen that both journals frem whom we quote take precisely the same ground, and, in- deed, they may be regarded as expressing the uni- versal sentiment which prevails in Great Britain with regard tothe policy and action of our govern- ment. They seize, as a matter of course, with great avidity, upon the weak points in American diplomacy, in relation to slavery, in order to excite against this country all the religious and moral prejudices of England. This is one of the modes by which the enemies of republican institutions expect to destroy the reputation ef our system of government, to depreciate American character in Lurope, and hold us up to the ridicule and execra- tion of the old world, thereby preventing the mas- ses there from taking a leaf out of that broad volume of liberty which they see here spread out before them. The real causes, however, of the hostility of the English press and of the English people, and, as we may soon expect to see de- veloped more clearly, of the English government, is to be traced to the extraordinary physical, ma- terial, political and commercial progress of this country to astate of unexampled national wealth and power. It is even now acknowledged by the public writers and speakers in England, that in some important branches of manufactures in which hitherto the British have surpassed the world, the United States now bear the palm, and are able to compete successfully with the British, driving them out of the market. This is beginning to attract their serious attention, and the remarkable advantages, natural and acquired, of this country—the growth of tropical productions in the South—the proximity to the region of mechanical skill for converting these productions into articles ot merchandise, such as cotton—the perfect liberty and independence en joyed by all—the spirit and enterprise of our peo- ple—all indicate to the British statesmen and peo- ple of all classes that a contest is springing up be tween the United States and England of a tar great- er maguitude than any national struggle which has yet agitated the civilized world—a contest which seeins in some of its features to resemble that be- tween aacient Rome and ancient Carthage, but in magnitude and importance, when compared to that, only as a giant to a gnat. Our progress in wealth, industry, enterprise, skill, science, the arts, is rapidly creating a power which is destined to influence to agreat extent the move- ment of the human race in future ages—and this it is which so alarms and bestirs the English politi. cians and writers, and drives them to the necessity of finding some point of attack,on which they hope to unite the great powers and great masses of Europe against this country. That point is the question of slavery, as put forward by Mr. Calhoun in his negotiations relative to Texas. The slavery question is, indeed, an unfortunate point for this country. Not that it cannot be met, and discussed and argued on the highest religious and philosophi- cal principles, in such a way as to satisfy every rea- sonable man thatthe institution of the Southern States, as affecting the moral and physical condi- tion of the race living under it, is far preferable to any of the systems of society which prevail in England or any other nation, affecting the lower classes. It is a sort of philosophical and religious abstraction, in which the prejudices of the old world are deeply engaged, and unfortunately for this couutry, a large party in the free States sympathize with the same prejudices. This con" stitutes the weak point of American power and in- fluence, and we believe the only rational, manly, and successful manner of meeting the jdifficulty is to meet, as Mr. Calhoun has met it—boldly, and face to tace. As yet we have the opinions only of the English press on these diplomatic movements. We have yetto hear from France and other portions of Europe, and possibly they may speak in a different The whole tendency of this controversy, however, is to involve the two nations in a moral and intellectual war on certain party questions con- strain, nected with American institutions, American di- plomacy, and American character, such as will have a very great influence on the movements of parties here in future years. The Abolition party in the free States, consisting of over sixty thousand voters, organized at all points, will take fresh cour- age, and derive fresh energy from the sympathy which they are now meeting at the hands of the open and secret enemies of American institutions and American prosperity in Europe. This is already beginning to be seen in various quartersin the free States. The future is big with mystery and doubt. Tue Cunese Treaty—Its Provistons.—We give in another column, a condensation of the Chinese Treaty and its provisions, taken from the Washington Globe. We do not know whether this contains the whole of the treaty, or a complete view of its provisions. We have been led to sup- pose that it does not contain all the provisions from the result of an application, made by an agent of ours at Washington, for a copy of the treaty. It seems that the government have determined not to publish it until after ratifications have been ex- changed with the Chinese government; and, in some quarters, we understand that very singular reasous are given for withholding the treaty from the public—in consequence of its containing some provisions extending more benefits to the United States than were secured to England by her treaty, and which, therefore, are concealed from the British government until after the ratification, lest their influence might be exerted to prevent it. Pro- bably something of this kind may exist, but we have every reason to believe that the provisions of the treaty are understood by certain parties in this city and in Boston, to the fullest extent—and that commercial expeditions are now fitting out, tor the purpose of enabling the projectors to avail them- selves of these provisions, contempora neously with the ratification of the treaty by the Chinese govern- ment, a few months hence. If we be correct in these views, the inference is unavoidable, that the conduct of the government in withholding this treaty in all its details from publication, is indefensible and small in the ex- tremest degree. We will wait, however, for fur- ther facts before we draw a final conclusion. We understand that known under the soubriquet of Captain Bob Tyler— gave a splendid supper at Howards’ Hotel on Sa- turday evening last, to Captain Rynders and the glorious “Empire Club,” ineluding also some of the attachés of the Post Office and Custom House, in celebration of the victory obtained over the “‘old huokers” at Tammeny Hall, on occasion of the great Texas meeting on Friday evening last. The circumstances connected with events that went before and those that followed uf- ter—acquire an importance from their connection with the movements between the two sections of the great democratic party which promise to breed disturbance, dissension and trouble for Mr. Polk before he assumes power inthe White House at Washington. Spvenpip Texas Supper at Howarps’ Horsn.— Mr. Robert Tyler—better that supper—the Previous to the splendid supper, got up in the best style of Howards’ Hotel, there was, we understand, a dinner given by the Custom House, and Post Office officials, at which some of the leaders of the Tyler party and the young democracy were feasted to their hearts’ content. This was, however, only introduc- tory to the supper on the evening in question, which was marked by most delicious cookery—excellent wines—and the utmost brilliancy in the sentiments, toasts, speeches, songa, and the whole glorious pro- ceedings. Captain Bob presided at the head of the table, and on either side were ranged all the mem- bers of the glorious ‘‘ Empire Club,” who have now undertaken to regulate and “put through” the democracy of this city in relation to the Texas question. On the removal of the cloth, the first regular toast was the following, singularly enough proposed by Captain Bob, the chairman, himself— “‘John Tyler, Fresident of the United Statee— “an honest man’s the noblest work of God.’” This was received with tremendous cheering, and drank amid thunders of applause, followed by speeches of the most enthusiastic character. Other toasts followed, all in favor of Texas and ‘Tyler, and uniting his destiny with that of Mr. Polk, and decidedly in opposition to Silas Wright, Van Buren, and all the “old hunkers” of the old demosracy. We expect to be able to publish to- morrow, a full report of the toasts and speeches, furnished by several voluntary reporters of ours: who happened to be invited on the occasion. This was one of the richest democratic festivals that ever took place at Howards’ Hotel, and will have @ most important and interesting bearing on the distribution of office under the new administration. Thus we go in the nerth. The young democra- cy seem, for the present, to be carrying every thing before them against the “ old hunkers.” must not suppose that the battle is yet won, because for once in a series of years they have been able to put down the old democracy in Tammany Hall —to lay on the table Silas Wright—to hiss Van Buren—and to show signs of a movement that has astonished all the ‘told hunkers” round about town. It is now very evident that, originating in this city, one of the most violent contests for the spoils of office will take place under the new pre- sidency of Mr. Polk, between the different sections of the democracy that ever threatened to rend that party into fragments. The great subject matter of contest will be the spoils connected with the Cus- tom House and Post Office and other places in New York, under the patronage of the general government. But they According to all appearances, not- withstanding the present dinners and toadyings and every thing else, there is every probability that the Post Office here, in the principal departments, will be entirely changed. This will arise proba- bly as much from the general unpopularity of the present head of the Post Office Department—his bungling management of the mails during the last few years—and similar conduct on the part of his principal deputies throughout the country. We do not believe that it will be at all possible for Mr. Polk to resist the importunities of the great masses of the party who elected him, to make a change in the Post Office Department at Washington and throughout the country, particularly in this part of the Union. The great struggle in this region, however, will be about the Collectorship of this port. The office of Collector of New York is almost equal, in peint of influence, political and otherwise, to that of a Cabinet Minister, and it is not to be supposed that the great power and influence atill remaining in the old Van Buren party, will stand idly by and permit those planted there by Mr. Tyler to remain and to form the nucleus of an opposition to them in this region. This will be one of the troubles, and not the least formidable, of those which will as- sail Mr. Polk on his accession to the Presiden- cy. The old Van Buren party in this State, and in this city, when they are called forth and thoroughly awakened, possess tremendous power and influence, and nothing can check them when they choose to put forth their whole united strength, In a skirmish in Tammany Hall, which we take the Texas meeting to have been, it 1s possible that by a great and sudden effort, a guerilla party, like that of our respected cotempo- raries of the Empire Club, may put down the “‘ old hunkers”—but this may fail—this very circum- stance will only tend to give a degree of energy and power to the whole masses of the old demo- cracy, that will entirely overwhelm all such gueril- la parties, long before they know where they stand. The Van Buren party in this State—in Ohio—in Pennsylvania—and elsewhere, may yet act as a celebrated politician in British History did to the Prime Minister. The politician waited on the Premier, and said he wanted such a man appointed to office. The Premier replied—‘‘ Impossible! we cannot!” The politician said in return—‘* We must have that appointment mede!” ‘‘ S’Death !” exclaimed the Premier—‘‘ you are not going to compel us ? ‘ Remember,” replied the politi- cian, as he took up his hat—“ remember, we count forty votes!” and with that significant hint, he re- tired. Next day the appointment wasmade. Thus it will be with the Van Buren party at Washington. They may say to Mr. Polk—‘‘ We count eighty votes in the House, and twelve or fourteen in the Senate—make that appoiniment or not, at your peril!” It will be seenfrom these views what a violent, bitter, and overwhelming contest must take place between the different sections of the democracy— between the office-seekers and the office-holders— between the “‘ old hunkers’ und the Jacobin Clubs. The democratic party, in all its branches, will be torn to pieces. The Texas question will fall through, most likely, in the struggle, and so will all the other great issues decided by the people in the last election. Mr. Polk may end his presidency with as much unpopularity as Mr. Tyler, and thus the way may be paved for the great whig party, with General Scott, or some other eminently po- pular man at ite head—not Webster, for he, and all that set are buried forever—to enter the field and carry the country by storm in 1848, as they did in 1840. Ds. Matuew’s Lectures.—This venerable and talented divine last evening, by request, repeated his lecture on the harmony of Astronomy and Geology, in accordance with the Mosaic account of the Creation, in the Rev. J. M. Macauley’s church, Murray street—the attendance was numer- ous and highly respectable. cauley offered up a prayer, after which Dr. Ma- thews repeated the lecture delivered in Dr. Mason’s church, Bleecker street, on the Sunday evening previous, which was reported in our paper of Fri- day last sity for its repetition on the present occ: The Rev. J. M. Ma- no neces- ion. Therefore, we deem there Navy Acent.—Letters from Washington an- nounce that Mr. George Montgomery, of this city, will be nominated by the President as Navy Agent for this Port, in place of J. H. Suydam, rejected by the Senate. Mr. Montgomery isan old resident of this city and a worthy and estimable citizen, and we have no doubt will perform the duties of the office in a satisfactory manner. ; «Tue OnpEaponx Lirgrature.—The “ Bishop’s Book ” will positively be issued from the press of the Appletons on Thursday next It will contain nearly four bundred pages, and be sold for fiity cents—cheap as dirt, or the novels of Paul de Kock. The curiosity relative to this book, especially amongst the ladies, is indescribable. Already the orders received by the Appletons amount to 18,000 copies, and a second edition of 20,000 is now going through the press, in order to meet the expected demand at once. Some gentlemen have orders for twenty and thirty copies tor ladies, who are all abusing the Appleton’s unmercifully for the delay in the publication. This has, however, been alto gether unavoidable, arising chiefly from the time required in preparing for the press the opinions of the Bishops, which will all be given in full. Some of these opinions are written with remarkable ability. The opinions of Bishops Doane and Whit- tingham in favor of the Bishop, and of the venerable Bishop Hopkins of Vermont, are, in particular, able, forceful, and eloquent. They will be read with the greatest interest and command universal res- pect. Indeed, the lawyers will be cast completely into the shade by the clergy, in this instance. Mr. Ketchum’s speech for the prosecution will be found & prosy, verbose, and powerless effort, compared with the vigorous, acute, and eloquent ‘‘ opinion” of Bishop Hopkins on the same side. Altogether, the volume will be one of the richest medleys of sanc- tity and sin, law and gospel, that has issued frem the press in some years. Bishop Onderdonk’s **statement” is ready for publication, and will be issued simultaneously with the ‘‘ Book.” It con- tains some extraordinary disclosures. The excitement relative to this extraordinary case, which had apparently subsided in some de- gree, is now bursting forth with greater intensity than ever. Tosucha degree has it spread, that we understand that a very extraordinary controversy on the subject was heard on the 25th inst., at mid- night, between the statues of St. Paul, in front of the church, in Broadway, called after his name, and the statue of Shakepeare in the niche above the entrance to the Park Theatre. The question dis- puted was, ‘‘ whether the church or the drama has been the instrument of doing most good to man- kind?” The night was clear and cold—the icicles glittered like silver in the light of the waning moon—the wind swept with a sighing sound ovey the grave-stones of the long-forgotten dead in the church-yard—and the Fountain stood by like some spectral listener whilst the strange debate went on. It may, perchance, yet be reported, as Burns re- ported the controversy between the two “ brigs of Ayr.” Fasnronazce Inteiicencs, — Tue Native Batt To-niaut.—The ‘* Natives” have a grand ball at the Park Theatre to-night.

To-morrow night the City Guard —a splendid company—give their annual soirée at Niblo’s magnificent saloon.

The ‘ Minerva Society” give elegant fancy dress balls at these rooms once a fortnight, which are attended chiefly by the young aristocracy of the eastern side of the city. Mr. Poux’s Casinet.—It 18 utterly impossible to notice the various speculations in relation to Mr. Polk’s Cabinet, but we fiad in a letter from one of our correspondents at Washington, a reference to this subject, which demands immediate notice. In alluding to the Hon. Andrew Stevenson of Vir- ginia, as being named for the office of Secretary of State, our correspondent speaks very disparagingly of that gentleman, and betrays an entire ignorance of his history; position, and character. We have known Mr. Stevenson for many years,and a more honorable, more patriotic, and better qualitied man for the office of Secretary of State, or for any cabi- net office under Mr. Polk, could not be found in the country. We request our correspondent to speak of things of which he has some knowledge, not of those which he does not appear to under- stand. > Sickness aT Port av Paince.—We learn that on the 9th instant the “pest” fever was raging to a considerable extent at Port au Prince. It was rather mild on board the American vessels, but very severe amongst the French seamen. Tue Sxason.—This is one of those seasons that we sometimes have when the weather is as re- markably mild in America as it is severe in Eu- rope. We have ascertained that whenever the winter is warm here, it is cold in Europe, and very stormy on the ocean. Such has been the case this year. Yesterday wes one of the mildest and most spring like winter days that we ever remember to have experienced. {From Baltimore American, Jan. 25.) ‘Tue Srason.—While the winter here continucs warm and mild beyond precedent, we see that our friends at Boston and Albany are not without their accustomed visitations of frost and snow. The Boston Journal of Wednesday afternoon says that the sleighing in the vi- cinity of that city was never better than ut that time. On the same day the country around Albany was covered with snow to the depth of eight inches. [From Hartford Times, Jan. 25.] « We learn that the ice in Woods River, about two miles west of the city, has broken up, and so sudden was the rise, that the ice piled up over the bridge across the Albany turnpike, so as to prevent the passing of teams. The rain last night was powerful. The he rain of last renin took off the snow and spoiled the sleighing. The water is rising in the river. {From Boston Transcript, Jan. 25.] Rain fell among 4 and steadily all lest night, which has continued to the preseat time, destreying of course the fine sleighing, and leaving our streets flooded with water, which has found its way into many of the cellars and low basements.

" ‘The Apostolicity Church, a! vine Commission, as showed In the #arable ef the Sower, A Sermon Preacugp By THE Rev’p Dr. Rypex, PrincaPaL or Georgetown Co.Eas, IN Sr. Px- TRR’s Cucncu, SunDay Mornina, Jan. 26, 1845. And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by aparable: A sower went out to sow his seed: and, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it’ was trodden down, ans the air decoured it: and some fell upon a rock ; an as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked mois ture : and some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with dt, and choked it: and other Pe. on goud ground, and ‘up, and bare fruit a hundred fold. snd, when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable he? And he said. Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others in parables : that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might nol understand. Now the parable is this: The sced is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear ; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their heurts; lest they should believe and be saved, They ‘on the rock ave they, which, when they hear, receive the wore ey; with joy; und these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns, are they which; when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares, and riches, and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit tv erfection. ’ But that on the good ground are they. which, in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. —St. Luxe viii 4-16, The Gospel for this morning, my beloved friends, which I have just read to you, contains a moral, as sublime as it 1s dufficult to be practised, and a dog- ma which is as important as it is unfortunately at present little understood. The morality which it contains is so obvious, that it cannot need explana~ tion, because it has received the explanation of the great oracle and source of truth—the Saviour himself. That moral tells us that the word of God is opposed by three enemies ; and that that word is received by three classes of individuals who de- riveno advantage from it. It is opposed by the devil, the world, and the flesh; and the three classes who derive no advantage from this sacred word are, first, those who hear this word, but allow the devil, as it were, to wrest it from their hearts. The second class is composed of those who are like the rock, into whose fissures and clefts the seed is dropped as it were accidentally ; it springs up for a moment, but because there is no moisture to sustain it, it withers and dies away be- fore it fructifies. So in the heart of that indi- vidual the word of God is received, but in the time of temptation, not having the moisture, it disappeare and withers. The third class are of those who re- ceive jthe; Word—who allow it to fructity well, but ultimately permit it tobe choked up by tares and thorns and brambles; by the pleasures of sense —the gratifications of this life—the indulgence of carnal feelings. Thus you see that this divine word is lost among this class as effectually at among the others. Hence the devil, the world, and the flesh, are the real enemies of the word of God ; and consequently, the real enemies ot the christian, whois to live and fructify in the field. and beautify the vineyard of the Lord to eternal life. Hence the Catholic Church, the mother of the faithful, and the spouse of Christ, from the a eee a child is born, pledges it at the holy altar of God, to renounce the devil and all his works, the flesh and all its temptations, and the world with all its pomps and vanities, and unless we christians are faithtul to this triple contract, it ir in vain we were washed in the waters of salvation, and classed among the faithful children of God ; it is iv vain the seed was planted in our hearts ; itis in vain thet the mystic flame of holy incense should be lighted in our souls, and our names registered in the Book of Life or claimants of beatitude—almost sa. cred; because we must renounce the devil, the world and the flesh; and unless we range ourselves in the fourth class—ot those who, with a good heart, receive the word, and with patience and perseverance, fulfil the high calling God has given us ia revelation, and fulfil those duties marked out to us as members of the Christian fami- ly—it is in vain we receive the seed and fruit of salve cause it will be ultimately destroyed. For it it they must bring forth fruit in themselves—by in those duties ; not merely those who on do ving the rest to the devil, anc na of their natures. They must bring forth fruit in themselves, by consistently pursuing the servict of God ; for it is ouly so we can be entitled to the rewarc of faithtul servants. You may have observed, brethren, the peculiar langt of our Savior when taiking of these impediments as of three classes. One class of these hc calls thorns and brambles. What are these? They are riches, the pleasures of this life, the indulgence of our assions, and these are thorns and brambles. Yes, it is the jangu: ot divine truth, the expressions of the God man himself, who knew well how to estimate pleasure: and riches. They are thorns and brambles which choak the seed of divine truth, and impediments to the practic: of those duties imposed by Christ ; in a word, that they militate against the great and high calling of a Christian and are impediments to his eternal salvation.

There must be riches here beiow, as well as poverty; therefore, that individual, who, in the rmance of his duties, acquire riches, is not to Clame, unless he has his heart on them, and pants after them, of the riches of eternal life. O, these riches, then, are only brambles and thorns, and fit only to be burned in the day of final retribution Letus then, my Christian brethren, remember this holy morelity, that it“ &@ mén nothing if he gain the whole worla and his own soul.” Let us rightly seeronts the im- penance of our immortal souls, even by the estimate the jevil placeson it ; for you have read in the holy Scrip- tures that the devil took our Saviour up to a pinna- cle of the temple of Jerusalem, and point out to him the domes of the} world, seid “all these will I give thee, if thou wilt fal down worship me.” See, then, the dev was disposed to give the whole natural world, for what? For the free rg of one immortal soul. Then let us, if we choose to take a lesson from our’ enemy, estimate our own souls at their proper value, and recollect that, for one humansoul he was willi: give all “the king: doms of the world, and the a glory of them.” the the evil the medium of Ghurch.

Listen to what he ere in the next verses :—" How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they be- lieve in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without @ preacher? and how shall they except they be acnt? az it is written, Gonpel of pence and ring gied tidings of goed things.” and bring g! 8 of ings. Hero, then, is developed the entire pot ll ay Weare to invoke the name of God, and serve him, for not all who says |, #Lord, shall be saved; but those who *hall be and evering to the end—those who iavoke themame of ina ‘spirit shall be saved. How are they to be saved? dy believing. How are tuey to believe? By hearing. How are tl to hear? By the preaching of the gospel unto them. ww are they to hear this hing ? From those sent unte them to preach i then, that ge! Vy yet et | be pro- pounded preaching, ani ‘0 hear it, and re- ceive it thats whe pe Ty it areto besent. Here, then, is atonce the great theory of the whole Fee pe We must receive Almighty God, but in us dium bo eee has designed to manifest himself to 8! he manife himself ? Te 1 low we ki ion of those who tell us they are called to this work 7 mr to the last chapter of se. Mathew’s wi the Saviour of the world thus expresses hi te given to me in heaven and on earth, Go ye, thi teach all nations, baptizing me of the Father, and of the Son, ofthe . Teaching them to observe all thin =e what. sf Thave commanded you; and, lo, 1 am with you always ,even unto the end of the world.” He} , to sho: fern so'they were sent by him ; ond tells them ti ‘ad all power in heavea and on earth, to show the force of his autority by which he cao send whom he chooses as an envoy of salvation. ‘ All power, then, in heaven and on earth, was in bis hands—and by virtue of that power he sends them” Whatdoes he say further— ‘Go ye unto all the werld and baptize all natiens, and lo! am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” There is the force of the mission ; there is the great ority which is to be beheved. ltisa mission of postles, by virtue of which, is to be built up that eter: edifice which is to int nal ito its folds all nations, and which must essentially @ uni- versal church; and become built ee the ay an » it must be an Apostolic church ; cause of the unison of its teachings it must be one and united ; and because of having the pledge of the Saviour to be with it even unto the end, you see at once it is to he lasting and firmiy established for ever. Let me develo; briefly these few points. I have said that this apostolic mission is to lastfor ever, Look at the words—t! are its diviae cherter. “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of world.” So eleven apostles to whom he spake, are about to be sent to teach mankind ; and all mankind are to receive this teaching with submis- sion and confidence, as though spoken by the Saviour himself. “ He that hearetn you heareth me.” So then, beioved friends, it is clear that our Divine Saviour in- tended that these his apostles sheuld be the teachers of the world forever. Buthow? Are they to continue always to perform their pilgrimage onearth with us bere? Ne, certainly—they did their duty—they fought the good fight—they died and received the prize of their high calling. The Saviour pledges himself that he will Ee with them alway—so then at the present ony they must exist. But how? Not in proper person, but in their successors—those men whocan trace the authority to its fountain source, and show their instructions to be not less then those of the apostles. So then, at the present day, if we wish to be secure, and hear the gospel of truth, we should receive it from those sowers who are sentto sow the seed of salvation—from the mouths of those sent to the oracles of divine truth, and with whom Christ has promised to continue forever. And my brethren, without Mipyr to enter into any contro- subject, Ithink itis incontestible that of men existing atthe present day, who can show their mission to be derived from adivine source and committed to their lecessors in the days of our Saviour himself, It is that Catholic brotherhood—that stolic authority that has never been interrupted since those opty Sake has been the symbol of instruction, the light of the world, and has shown itself the dissem! of literary education, as well as spiritual teaching.— That authority which owes not its existence to civil in stitutions, but which has perhaps in despite of civil insti- tutions has lived by the light of revelation. An authority which does not det ive its efficacy from earthly establish- ments, but transmitted by a golden chain from the days ot the arostles, and which will Rp eines to the end of the world. And by virtue of this apostolic mission, shall be one in the unity of itsdoctrine. How so? By virtue of that divine commission, “ Go and teach all nations.”— All are taught themselves, and are to transmit that teach- to the church. Each one of — are to teach the whole that was taught them, thus it is evi- dent they must teach And if they teach all that they have rec , they cannot disciples are bound plsegres among themselves, and thei to listen to them, and receive all the ieockiog of these epostles, and so be ali united to them. So it is clear enough that there was to be a complete unity among the apostles ; that, as they. had no right to innovate on the grea tem committed to them, so their disci had no tight to innovate on what they received from them. This isthe beautiful system which we admire in primitive Christianity, which St. Paul alludes to when Herne | the Romans, and which our Saviour himselfspeaks of, “that the world may know the eternal Father hath sent me,” kc. Hence if they are not united among them- selves, we may disclaim pe eee of their mission. Unity, therefore, is a charact: ic evidence of the mis- sion of the Saviour ; consequently, therefore, it is all-im- portant to be able to tell an infidel that Jesus of Nazareth was truly the Messiah, and that this lished by the fact that all the disciples united in the religion, in the eame profession of faith, and inthe language of divine and ineffable truth. Where is this unity 7 Let others re- flect on these points. We Catholics may thank God that we are not only united in this faith, but the very princi- ple of difference of teaching exclude from our commu- nity, and Cis ali who would set up their own opinion ia ‘agreeably with the spostolic mission, pronounced the anathema of the Church. St. Paul says, ‘if l,or an angel from heaven, teach you any other doctrine, let him be accursed.” Calty Taretory is a characteristic of the Church of Christ. ‘hy should there be disunion in it, when its teaching cannot be in opposition to his word as taught to the apestles, and by them tothe church. This church, which is possessed of unity and catholicity, is algo a universal church ; for as the apostolic commission instructed them to “ go and teac! ions,” therefore all nations are bound to receive it. No matter what their lineage or color—no matter what their language or form of government, they are to receive the teaching of those sent; and as the church is bound to teach the truth—they are bound to _believe.— Thus all to whom is declared redemption by the blood of Christ must become connected with the Church— therefore, if we would meke boundaries in that Church, and circumscribe its limits, we are destroying the ver: essence of this divine establishment. Where is this Universal Church? Need I point you to that which is found over all the earth—which, like a rose blooming in the wilderness, is acknowledged to be Catholic. Its name tells you its character ; and even if a stranger in this great city enquired of either Catholic or Protestant, where was the Catholic Church? he would at once be informed, in Ba: treet, for instance. Is not this an nowledgment that ours is the Catholic Church, and uch what our Saviour intended to be the Universal and olic Church. 80, ren, is the interesting \d important dogma contained in the gospel of this morn- ing, which teachestus that we must hear the Church, who has authority to teach ; and that to know that autho- city, we must watch its operations, and be persuaded that it is apostolic in practice and doctrine; that itis truly Ca- tholic, and willbe perpetuated to the end of time in the same apostolic character. Dr. Ryder closed his discourse with a beautiful exhortation to his Catholic brethren to continue in a firm adherence to and faithful practice of the teachings of the Catholie Church. City Intelligence: Deatn oF tHe Cuisy Srimit or tHE Great Native nicaN Panty—Downra.t OF ONE oF 178 PainciraL Svrroners.—Every one who has resided in this city for the last twelve months, has witnessed the rise of the great native American party, who started with more bril liant prospects, and maintaining better principles, than apy political party that has ever yet risen. Pledged to the many reforms that the public in general demanded, they datly increased in strength and power, till in afew weeke they defeated both the old parties, and obtained the reins of government, What they have done towards carrying out their principles, does not juire any ghost vw come irom the grave to tell us.

Sunday, Jan. 26—6 P.M. The arrival of the steam ship Cambria, at Boston, and the receipt of tho news here on Friday evening, hada very tavoreble influence on the stock market, and the closing prices show an advance on those current previous tothe arrival of the steamer. In the early part of the. week the arrival of later European advices was daily looked for with the greatest anxiety, and operators re- fased to make transactions until the accounts came to hand. In consequence of this, business was very inac- tive, and stock quotations daily fell off. The tone of the European advices is considered unusually favorable, the opinions of the bears of Wall street to the contrary not- withstanding. The accounts in relation to the Cotton Markets are particularly encouraging, and we have no doubt, they will prevent many bankruptcies in this and in the Southern cities. The commercial classes of this city are deeply interested in any permanent improvement in the cotton markets of Europs; the very meroantile existence of many depends upon present prices being sustained in Liverpool. The presperity of the whole southern section of this country depends upon the exist- ing condition of the cotton markets being sustained.— We are firmly convinced that prices for thie staple in Li verpool, have touched bottom—that the supplies from this country will not press so heavy upon the market es to depress prices either at home or abroad, and thet the staple will, from this moment, be more sought after by consumers and speculators than for sometime past. It being the generel ifipression in Liverpool that prices for this staple have touehed bottom, it is stated that specu- lations will soon take place to some extent. Should any speculative movements take place, it will give the plan- ters of this country an opportunity ‘to get ride of their large stocks at fair prices. The abundance of capitaljin , Great Britain seeking employment, would very soon find if investment in this staple, could those haying the re. sources feel satisfied the staple would not further depreci- ate. The remark mede by one of the leading cotton bro- kers of Liverpool, that “fair cotton” vould not go be, low 4}4 per pound, no matter what the supply might be from this country, seems to be fair evidence that there is some chance for speculators in Great Britain. The next advices from Liverpool will be looked for even more anxiously than those were by the Cambria, and in the event of the recent accounts being confirmed, the eftect on commercial affairs in this country will be sufficient to revive trade, and enable all parties to liqui- date their liabilities The whole thing is narrow. ed down to this point. The continuance of our pre- sent prosperity, or the spread of bankruptcy and ruin through the country, depends entirely upon the demand and value of our great exporting staple in Europe— Should prices in Liverpoo), on the departure of the stza- mer of the 4th of February, rule below those current on the 4th inst, we may expect another revulsion in this and other large cities, that will sweep away many houses and ruin hundreds of individuals. We cannot anticipate a break down any thing like that experienced in 1887 and '86, but it will, without doubt, be sufficiently severe, to put us beck many seasons. There are in this city at this moment hundreds of commercial houses tot tering to their centre, the existence and preservation of which depends wholly upon farther favorable advices from Liverpool, and which, in the event of farther ad , vices being unfavorable, would ut once become bankrupt, We annex ouk usual comparative table of quotations - ‘or soph In thle markcet, for each day of last week.
