rt NEW YORK HERALD New York, Sunday Charch-Bullding and Chayeh=Going In New York. If numerous and elegant churches afford any evi- dence of superior godliness, New York may cer tainly be justly regarded as a city abounding in tly and spacious temples, dedicated tc rvice of Christianity, are springing upin all di- rections. The different rehgious denominations are one another in church: building,andthe grand appears to be, not so much which can be mst orthodox, as which can erect the most magni- ficent places of worship. Almost all the old, plain and unpretending edifices in which the pious citi- zens of the last generation prayed and dozed, have 1 torn down, and their places are now occupied by the stores and warchouses of the followers of mamion, whilst up-town, ia the fashionable faw- bowrgs, new churches decorated outside and ins palaces of kings, open their gates to the el children of Zion. And New Yorkers are not only a chureh-building, but also a chureh-going people. [tis deeidedly vulgar not to go to church. A well-cushioned pew in St. Paul’s or Dr. Skin- ner’s, is as essential to respectability as a box at the | Opera,u drawing-room at “the Springs”in the season, | or a black servant in blue and red flannel,with silver | gilt buttons. And so on every Sunday in this godly | city—the genteel churches are well-filled—silks and | satins rustle bravely in the crowded aisles—in soft | and sleepy tones, the rounded periods drop like ho- ney from the lips of the oily preacher, and the fash- ionable congregation is as cold, as formal, and as dead as worldly-mindedness can make it. Heaven pities—Hell laughs—and the angels veil with their wings their saddened faces and their weeping eyes Often have we contrasted the aspect of one of these fashionable temples, with that presented in | some humble country church far away from the din and turmoil of the crowded haunts of men. One of these scenes comes up now vividly before us; and it may not be amiss to try and paint it—It was a | lovely Sabbath morn, and all nature sang a hymn in honor of the sacred day— The bridal of the earth and sky— As we proceeded to the village, the tinkling of the | church bells fell with a clear, soft cadence on the ear, and was borne far away among the hills, where it was heard echoing like the faint notes of distant music. Every farm-house was now contributing its » to the. numbers proceeding to the house of God, and by the time we reached the outskirts of the village, the road was thronged with the assembling congregation. No showy equpage came rolling by—no sleepy son of cushionedggrandeur, nor rich born daughter of luxurious indolence, glorying in her tinselry, were there. But the children of toil end industry were assembling there to kneel at the free altars erected by their fathers for the worship of the true God—mayhap on spots erst defiled by hea- then sacrifice. The majority of those now pro- eveding to the sanctuary were on foot; occa- sionally, however, a plain, but commodious and com- fortable four-wheeled ‘‘wagon” slowly passed us con- veying a family from a distance, or invalids and el- derly people; with a due accompaniment of chil- dren. When we entered the village, the public services had not yet commenced, and the people were standing in little crowds, on the ‘ green” in tront of the “ meeting house.” Little knots of the fair and blooming farmers’ daughters, arrayed in modest robes of dazzling whiteness, were inter- changing friendly greetings, and occasionally some light-hearted damsel turned fora moment, with a sly glance, or a sunny smile, toward a group of young men, standing so seriously, with an air of awkward solemnity, and evidently conscious of the unwonted restraint of their holiday apparel. But ‘the minister” approached from the “session-house,”? and with a modest dignity entered the church, which was goon filled with worshippers. rivaling After a brief and expressive prayer, a psalm wos sung by the congregation—the whole assembly joining in the sacred melody. No pealing organ, nor scientific choristers, were there; but the strong cle: voice of manhood, the melting tones of wo- man, the soft accents of youth, and the feeble notes of. all mingled in one solemn, heart-born song of praise. The tune to which the sacred words were sung,was one of those plaintive airs which tradition records as having been in frequent use among the suffering Covenanters, in the stormy days of the Scottish persecution, and what a thrilling interest was thus added to the simple harmony of that holy psalm! The minister next announced the text, from which he intended to discourse, and a sound like a shower of leaves in autumn rustled through the church, as old and young turned over the pages of the Book, in seeking for the passage. After the sermon, another psalm was sung; and then th> minister, in a low voice, said—* The parents may now present their children for baptism.” A sub- dued murmuring sound throughout the church was heard, as two young couples of humble and modest mein, slowly walked up the middle aisle toward the frynt of the pulpit, where the fathers took their helpless offspring in their arms, with an awkwardness that had withal a solemn and touching pathos. As the pastor descended trom the pulpit, to perform the simple rite, there was a general movement in the congregation—forms were seen bending over the humble galleries, and joyous young faces, where awe and curiosity were strange- ly blended, peeped from behind the pews ; but when the names of the infants, “Mary” and “Joseph,” were pronounced, and the baptism was finished, there was a perfect stillness throughout the assembly—it seemed as if an angel had overspread the people with his wings, so hushed and holy was the calm! We have seen the haughty supporters of a faith “by law established,” assemble on the Sabbath in tur- retted and consecrated cathedrals; we have witnessed the devotions of purse-proud sons of successful com” merce, in marble and gilded edifices—but we never Bearta—Ensoynent—Recrgation.—This waim weather is driving all that possibly can remove from tis heated atmosphere—the dust of the streets—and te dog-sliughtering of the xuthorities, to scene: sore genial with health, enjoyment and recreation, vhere they can have “ Sermons in stones—wisdom in running brooks ; And good in every tig” {t 1s this that is causing hundreds daily to flock to those delightful spots—Fort Hamilton and Staten {sland—to enjoy the cool and refreshing sea breeze, to wander along’ the sparkling beach, to enjoy the exhilerating sea bathing these spots afford. The ride along the margin of the shore to the former place is now one of the most pleasant in the neigh- borhood ; as is also the trip by the steamboat,which now plies regularly to that place. Nor is Hoboken without its daily increasing admirers. These truly Elysian Fields,nre amply filled, at least once a week, by those whose avocations confine them six long days out of seven, to the close and polluted atmos- phere of warehouses, stores and workshops. What a more rational, what more health induc. ing enjoyment cant hey have to strengthen them for their ensuing six days labor? Bloomingdale Road has also its beauty-spots as well as admirers. Here a fine ride may be had, some beautiful scenery viewed, a cool refreshing breeze enjoyed from the river, beneath the shady branches of the ancient elms with which it is bordered. The Abbey, Stry- kers Bay, Prospect Hall, New Rochelle, afford 2 variety of such delightful retreats. We believe there is no city on the face of creation that affords to the mass such advantages in this respect, within so short a distance, as New York, where that which is” so necessary to all—health and enjoy- ment—and that too at a very reasonable expense both of time and money ,can be obtained. There- fore, it cannot but be highly gratifying to all right minded persons, when they see their neighbors and friends thus avail themselves of the bounties and beauties of creation. Orxcon anv Catirornia.—The tide of emigration to these western regions is widening and deepening every day. Almost every town and village in the western und southwestern states are sending forth their bands of hardy, enterprising settlers. Many of these emigrants who had originally designed to seek their fortunes in the Oregon territory, are turning aside towards California, and there is no room to doubt that in a very few years, a strong und prosperous American popu- lation will occupy the best portions of that smiling and fertile region. Thus surely and rapidly is the Anglo-Saxon race on this continent fulfilling its des- tiny. Who is there that cannot now foresee the ap- proach’ of that time when a free people will possess the whole land from sea tosea—the Pacific border as well asthat of the Atlantic; and that, therefore, the power and glory of the earth must be seated in this western hemisphere ? The policy in favor of the annexation of Texas is every where bursting forth in the West with indes- cribable enthusiasm, Oregon and ‘Texas meetings are held all over, and the people appear to be rising en masse in indignant denunciation of the interfe- rence of England in the Texas question. Couiecrorsir or New Yorx.—The official an- nouncement of the change in the Collectorship of this port, has been made in the Washington Union in the following terms:— Iurontayt Arrointment.—Mr. Van Ness has resign- ned the Collectorship of New York—the resignation to take effect on the first of July next. The President has accepted his resignation, and appointed Cornelius W. Lawrence to this most important office. It is believed no appointment could be made more satisfactory to the democracy of all classes than that of Mr. Lawrence. It is due to Mr. Van Ness to say, that he has discharged the duties of the office with great ability. He retires with the best wishes for the success of the administra. tion, of which he has always been an efficient supporter; and retains, in his retirement, the respect and confidence of all our friends at this place. A more pointed rebuke than this could not have been administered to the News of this city, for its spiteful and malignant abuse of Mr. Van Ness. That miserable eligue which is now trying to fill the cus- tom-house with its adherents, and to remove the deposites again, has now received the lie most emphatically with regard to all the slanders uttered ubout Mr. Van Ness. As to Mr. Lawrence he will doubtless make a good Collector. He is a very worthy man. He retains, we believe, his Bank Presidency and Chamberlaincy, which, with the Collectorship, will make his annual salary $16,000 a year, Tue Power Beutwp rue Turone Grearer THAN tHe Turone Irseir —In reply to the charge in the Tribune that Mr. Polk is acting under the influence of an irresponsible clique, we find the following in the Union :— We are not much conversant with Presidents and ca- binets; but we undertake to say that few Presidents and cabinets ever had more confidence in each other. We have heard sentiments expressed on all sides, which can scarcely deceive us That Mr. Polk will have his own way in most of the great appointments which are com- mitted to his hands, is true enough, as far as we are ad- vised. ‘That every appointment Sn which he has partici- pated should have satisfied all his cabinet, is not more remarkable than was the visionary effort of Charles the Filth, in the monastery, to which he had retired, to make all his watches go precisely alike ; but that Mr. Polk makes his great appointments without advising with his cabinet, we do not believe to be true. Itis equally un- true that he is acting under the influence of the Van Bu- ren party, or of any other clique whatever. This is all very well, but no doubt in process of time an irresponsible power will create itself un- known tothe President, which will use him for the purpose of making removals and appointments. As to Mr. Polk being under the influence of the Van Buren party, we never believed that any more than that he was under the influence of any section of the democracy. Certainly it could not have been that influence that made him offer the mission to England to Mr. Calhoun, to Mr. Elmore, to Mr. Pickens, or to Mr. Woodbury. He seems to pick out from all the cliques, probably the best he can se- lect; and then the disappointed endeavor to make charges against the President, to serve their own particular purposes. Sreampoat NiaGara.—Yesterday afternoon at three o’clock we visited this new and splendid saw among them the holy fervor of the simple wor- ship offered within the wood-built walls of that lowly village church ! And such is the fervent, simple and hearttelt man- ner in which, ‘on this blessed sabbath day, the great Creator will be worshipped in hundreds and hun- dreds of churches throughout the land. The people of America—the great influential middle classes— area religious people. Worldly vanity, and cold and formal Pharisaeism may be met with in many of our city churches, and also throughout the land ; but we do believe that hypocritical professions of re- ligion are confined in a great measure to those whi- ted sepulchres, "where mammon and fashion yield the lip, but not the heart, to God. And so it is, that incity and country—every where throughout the broad territory of the republic—we find the honest, upright, industrious middle classes—they who es- chew violent party politics, who laugh at the pretensions of psuedo-aristocracy, and who enjoy a comparative independence,—ure indeed the “galt of the earth”—the true disciples of pure and unpre- tending christianity—the health and strength of the republic “Native” Groans.—The ‘ natives” talk of holding a National Convention at Philadelphia, on the 4th of July next. It is gravely announced that the purpose is to “enquire whether we are still a na- tion, and have a country?” It is all very well for so many of the poor “natives” as are yet able tokick, to amuse themselves in this way on the “ Fourth,” but their convocation will be as harmless and asun- productive, as the smallest cracker that will explode on that ever to be eonsecrated day. Nativeism is dead—dead—dead. We can never see ita resur- rection. The ins and the outs—the two great poli- tical parties, whig and demoeratic—must ever con- tinue the only influential parties in the State Texan Movements.—Gen, Wm. H. Fisher, tor. »t'y Secretary of War of Texas, and late Com fthe Mier expedition, is now at the Howar a ee ee een ee a steamboat, belonging to the New York and Troy Steamboat Company. We examined every part of her from stem to stern, above and below, and although she is not such a leviathan of a boat as some of her river companions. she is equal to any in convenience of arrangement, and beauty of model, and judging from the appearance of her engine we should think she would equal any of them in speed. Her dimensions are as follows :—300 feet long, 28 feet beam, and 65 feet extreme breadth from guard to guard. She has a 60 inch cylinder with 11 feet stroke, and her water wheels are 31} feet the diameter. She is altogether built in the most substantial man- ner by Wm. Thomas Collyer, and her engine is from the foundry of Mesers. Hogan & Delamater, of the Phenix Foundry. She is about 700 tons bur- den. The fitting up and upholstery work is really splendid. The extreme length of her cabin which extends fore and aft two hundred and seventy feet, is furnished in the most tasty and becoming manner, and the pannels are adorned wi beautiful views of American scenery. The ladies’ cabin is adorned in like manner, and a pianoforte is among the ornaments which are profusely scattered Statuary beautifies the stair cases, and all tends to the idea that a person is in asplendid drawing room rather than on a steamboat. She takes her place in the day line on Wednesday next, under the command of Captain A. DeGroot, long and favorably known on the river as comman- der of favorite boats. In conclusion we would sum up with thisremark, that Captain DeGroot is worth of commanding such a floating palace asthe } gara, which in the hands of such a gentleman, nv receive its full share of patronage from the publie. Morr News ror Evrorr.—The Oxford, Captain Rathbone, for Liverpool, and Burgundy, Captain Wotten, for Havre, will sail to-morrow, They will earry two days later news from New York, the entire South, including, perhaps, Texas and ‘exico, than goes out in the Carabria, which leave: | Gouton on the same day. More azovr Exigrants.—In pursuit of informa- tion as to the movements of emigrants after their arrival. in thig port, to which allusion was made in an article in yesterday’s paper, we took a run round adozen of the famous domicils, or houses of enter tiinment for emigrants which abound in this city yesterday. As before remarked, it is a difficult un- dertuking to trace systematically the movements of the new comers. French, Duteh, German, Irish and British mingle with each other, and all with the crowd. Here you have them, and the next moment the heterogeneous mass isbroken up into fragments, some turning this corner, others that; sections of a dozen, or a score, under the convoy of carters, keeping a sharp look out on the luggage, as it hurled along at a cantering pace to its temporary destina- tion, of which, in most cases, the owners are in blissful ignorance. Others, and not a few, being quite unaccustomed to public conveyances, disdain to seck their aid, or compelled by motives of econ- omy to forego it, shoulder the luggage, and trudge along with tough determination,in a stout frieze coat, agreeable to the common saying, “ what keeps out the cowld, will keep out the heat,” grinning at the rays! of a vertical sun in uth street, Front _ street, North street, Back street, and every one else, for in their wanderings they are ubiquitous. Of the two, he whocarries his own baggage, or employs a carter to do the advan- tages are perhaps evenly balanced. tt the man of industry sweats .4 trifle, he is free to stop and rest when he desires it ; but the carman willnot stop. On he goes, for it may bea eS ai of miles, the provi- gent escort panting for breath—now suspecting the driver is big oif with the load, or wondering “where the devil he is bringing them.” As an off set to his flurry and haste, however, a commensu- vate degree of tardiness is observed in paying the fare, and frequent disputes rjkaye out of these nego- ciations. “The fare, till [be off” “ Wuit a bit; faith you’r offhanded enough in travelling ; but let us tuke breath.” ‘There’s no time for talking— three shillings a piece.” Herv the passengers dis- cover a flaw in the e ment, which they under- stood to be that sum for the job. But the cute carter manages to have his way in most cases, and the new comers get the first sensation of that common opera- tion on strangers in New York—the opening of the pocket artery. Now, while this is going on, the man of burthen might be seen quietly seated on his load, the wife and the junior members of the family disposing themselves to the most advantage upon or around it. And solemn is the group betimes, and disconsolate the air worn by the poor creatures, as they deliberate where they are to stop for the night ; but night falls, an 1 they disappear. We cannot trace them further. i ‘ With few exceptions ghey are required to pay more than what is right to those unprincipled lodg- ing keepers. Once they are in, which they will not be without having moveables sufficient to cover the bill—they_will not fo out hence until they pay the uttermost farthing. Few emigrants propose stop- ping longer than a week where they first put up and ewer still stay even half the time, provided they can get away on anything like sate conditions; hence the number of occupants found at them is con- stanly changing and irregular. On the day after there have been a large number of arrivals from sea Of passage vessels, these places may be found cram- med, an perfiape aday or two afterwards they will “be deserted. It'so happened that there were compa-. Tatively few emigrants to be found in the course of our visit yesterday, except in the Dutch boarding- houses, where they are more settled in their habits. Tn these there are Rencrely a goodly company of oc- cupants, who smoke and chat, and manage to get along during their stay smoothly enough; but it is probable that ‘our acquaintance with Dutch would enable one to learn more than is ap- parent on the grave and phlegmatic physiognomies of the inmates. In conversation with these people, no matter where from, they seem reserved, without probably intending to be 80; it is at least certain that little definite information is to be obtained from them as to their prospects and intentions. Perhaps the truth is, that in nine cases out of ten they are ignorant on the fee themselves, and without any plan of operations, but wale for a chance like the angler on the river bank. Such is the impression conveyed by mixing and talking with upwards of two score, and twice that of listeners, yesterday. Out of twenty-two Irish emigrants, six expressed disappointment that they had not gone to Canada, three intended to go to Albany on their way west next day, four inclined to delay in New York to get employment, one ‘of them having a cousin, and the other three acquaintances here, while two of the re- maining ten were in a state of mental uncertainty, the most of the others agreeing that “ what was likeliest would happen.” t half a dozen English, three intended to buy land, one wanted a Situation as a groom, and thought of nothing else; and one or two others hinted that a man could have more to eat fora sixpence in London than for tw the sum here, and consequently their condition wa: not bettered by the change. It is probable afew more days may see them on their way back. In many cases, but not enough, these people take the precaution before leaving home, of furnishing them selves with credentials as to character from their clergymen, or other competent source, but they are rarely addressed to one of the benevolent societies in this city, as they should be. Although a great proportion of those who have means £0 to the west, the want of it prevents far more from availing themselves of the inducements itholds out Those who do so generally locate in Michigan, Indiana, or Illinois, where land is abun- dantly offered at a dollar and a halt anacre. As might be expected, some of those who take Buffalo in their route, are enticed by the flattering offers of the Canada Land Company, who offer lots of 50 to 200 acres in any part of Canada, for a term of ten years, for the interest of the value at 12s 6d curren- cy, or 24 dollars an acre, payable every February, giving the settler the power of, at any tiine, until the end of that period, paying the amount of the pur- chase money, and becoming a freeholder. Fares are exceedingly low this season. ‘The tra- veller can go by steamboat and canal to Buffalo, 508 miles, for $3 ;'to Cleveland, (Ohio) 700 miles, for 54 dollars; to Chicago, 1520 miles, for 104 dollars; to Pittsburg, Pa. for $34, and even to the celebrated ‘Tippecanoe, 973 miles for $107. On his way to these distant parts the unfortunate adventurer is ex- posed to enormous frauds, and the utmost care 1s re- quisite in making his arrangements before setting out. One of the most prevalent pieces of knavery to which they are liable, is the practice of impostors who collect fares, promising to send the victims for- ward. This is quite common, yet the rogues are hardly ever detected. No species of villany can surpass this. It is a grievance that cries out by thousands of living tongues for redress, of which there appears little prospect. Sporting Intelligence.

Dearu or Morn.—The fine Kentucky race horse Moth, the ppaperty of James B.

A spicion is entertained that she was poisoned, and Prof. Yandell, was called to make it mortem examination. A*portion of her stomach was found to be considerably fitamed, and there ‘@ some other indications, (none sitive, however,) that she might hi from the ef- facts of nareotic poison.

Poor Carouiye, tug Inpiamay’s Daucurer.— Burgess and Stringer, New York.—This is a well told tale,showing the selfish and unjust aggrandising spirit of the Boston merchants towards their juniors; who, not content with accumulating ample property, remain in business for years afterwards, and set their faces against all young men who may attempt to commence using and drive them to seek em- ployment elsewhere. Thus it is that the pringipal trade of that port is a centred in a few persons, for no other good than that of occasioniully having their names blazoned in some subscription list—not unfreguently of a very doubtful character, as to util- ity.

A man named Frederic W. Forbes, who was standing upon the a. of the Emigrant car oi the passenger train, which was directly in the rear 0: the locomotive, was caught between the two, and both his legs were dreadfully mangled and shattered. He was soon taken out and gee down to the Hermitage corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane. A number ot physicians were in immediate attendance, but on exami- nation of the wounds, came to the conclusion that the unfortunate man could not survive an amputation, and that he must soon die. Every thing was done tor him that could be done. He was on his way to Oneida Cas. tle, where his nts and brother reside, and has left a wife and five children at Camden, N. J. A boy, and sev- eral passengers were slightly injured. We learn that the physician determined to amputate of the injured legs of Mr. Forbes, and that the let: as removed Jast night by amputation between the ki and hip.

On the indies’ side of the house, aay men with their wives, daughters and friends are found, and often most agreeable coteries they are, and in such our hotels are by no means deficient, Jet English travellers say what they please of the cold cheerless hurry and bustle that they describe as being prevalent in them. But there isa third class of visitants which landlords have occasionally consi- derable trouble with, these are young gentlemen with their purses furnished in an inverse ratio to their self-pos- session and brazen impudence; these after living as long as they can on the confiding host generally disappear, leaving at least their empty trunks behind them in pay- ment of their bill; but an instance that c: ledge a day or two ago, certainl: heard of in the annels of impudence. in the midst of the thunder storm, the porter of fashionable house was suddenly aroused by the appear- ance of two men on the stairs, who were endeavoring to lug off’ a load of trunks and escape. Dire was his dis- may at such a wanton disregard of the sacred rites of hos- pitality, and with a dismal yell he called on his master to come tothe rescue, despite the bribes the runaways of- fered him to keep silent. lu ort time the landlord and his clerk, in the full costume of Sandwich Isl- and chiefs, were on hand, and a conflict immedi- ately ‘took place; but the landlord being ass ed by his clerk and porter, and moreover hi justice on his side, soon overpowered the runnaway: thoug's not before one of them had absolutely threatened him with a knife. When brought to the light, it was dis- covered that one of them was. young gentleman, who having for some time been a boarder at the house, and being unable to foot his bill, had called in the aid of his brother, in this way to foot himself free of it, and in the darkness of the night elope and vanish. The landlord, however, after expostulating with the youey man, kind- ly loaned him an umbrella to look for other lodgings, and we presume, by this time he is settled. As Ey, be restimed, such an occurrence at the dead hour of night, in a house crowded with boarders, was well calculated to produce much fun.

Wuenre is tax Fountain Kezren?—The Foun‘ain in the Park is not playing yet, and the basin is rapidly as- suming the form of a stagnant pool, which, if it is not cles out, will soon spread fever and ague, to the great detriment of the loafers who now use its margin for a racecourse. The fourth of July is rapidly approach. ing; and if the present Common Council wish to emulate the conduct of their geste even in the matter of the tin pans, they had better at once have the fountain keeper hunted up, and instruct him to start it forthwith, so that at least the citizens may have the benefit of their peantifal fountain, if it is only in the way of political capital.

Vanicx. Military Parade on the Fourth. New York, June 14, 1845. Mr. Eprror.—Would it not be well to have a meeting of the commandants of the Independent Companies called, for the purpose of devising means to have them parade on the coming Fourth of July. There are a great many of our citizens who have no opportunity of seeing these companies except on that day, and it would be a great favor to have them pa- rade with Gen. Sandford’s division. I hope you will call the attention of the captains referred to, to the above suggestion. A Private.

The court held that dinance was necessary, that the power of appoint- vested solely in the Common Council without the ‘ention of the Mayor, and that if it was illegal for ldermen and Assistants to meet in joint ballot, it did ie in their breasts to object to their own irregularity.
