} N iu 4} ORK HER ALD. vow York, Sunday, November y ofthe Age—New Ca Church. Keligions Tend lew years since, the good people of tus country became considerably alarmed at the rapid spread of infidelity over the tair fields which jad been previously whitened with the blossoming ad fragrant tlowers of piety and religious faith.— every hand was heard the ery, “we are fast ‘o the darkness of unbelief, and the scenes { the French revolution will be re-enacted in our own land”—and in fact, these fears were not entire- ‘The theological works of Spinosa, Strauss, and Kaut, a perusal of which had formerly been confined to German scholars,were badly trans- lated into English, and scattered among the think- ing minds of this country, and were fast weaning them from the faith of their fathers—the faith in which they had been educated—to the wild and mys- tical dreams of the smoke-begrimed German meta- physicians. In New England, the very heart of puritanical orthodoxy, the new theories took deepest root. The common mind became roused to a spirit of inquiry. No temple was deemed too holy to be entered and examined. The pulpit itself, was not exempt from this general examination into old forms ot faith; and in many churches, where the religious system of the pilgrim fathers had been rigorously taught, the principles of German rationalism crept in and took a strong hold of both priest and people For years this spirit of inquiry has been at work, until that re-action which always follows an unnatn- ral excitement, has commenced its operations. The religious mind of any people cannot long exist in a state of doubt and uncertainty. It must have an undoubted faith, and a system upon which it can re- pose in confidence, perf€etly assured of its right. A chaotic and uncertain state of mind lasts but for a season, and then comesa desire for belief without doubt, and faith without fear of error. In such a condition is the religious mind of the present day. Men have become tired of questionings which yield no answers, end now seek for a haven of firm religious faith and undoubting security. At this point, the Catholic church,with its venera- ble forms, and its creed that has remained un- changed through the revolutions of centuries, steps in and offers itself as a panacea for the ills of all who have wandered through the mazes of unbelief, and found no light, but dissatisfaction and. unhap- piness. That a strong tendency to Catholicism has commenced in this country, no one can doubt. Over the spreading prairies of the west, and through her fertile valleys, the cross-mounted churches of Rome have reared their glittering spires; and from west to east, from north to south, through the length and breath of our land, men are beginning to embrace the venerable Mother Church, whom they formerly considered a monster in divine form. Many, however, who would otherwise have sought repose in her bosom, have been deterred irom so doing by what they considered her anti- republican tendencies—her acknowledgment of the supremacy of the potentate of another country. has been the great stumbling block in the way of xeradvancement. But another new movement has :ommenced, which promises to reconcile all difler- ces regarding this matter. And as from Ger- many came the evil, so from Germany comes the oilered remedy. The new Catholic church, retain ing the same spiritual faith and forms which have been cherished by the Church’ for eighteen cen- turies, but at the same time denying the supremacy of the Pope, and discarding some of the more obnoxious practices of the old Church, is fast spread- og in Germany, and has been commenced in this couuty. Ia Cincinnati a church) has been formed, und its apostles will ere long be found scattered id. Not only among Protestants, erging to Catholici Mi over the | sm, but as well to Catholics, who have become dissatisfied with the anti-repub- jean tendencies of the Church, will this new system some. It requires but another Martin Luther uilip Melanethon, at this juncture, to give vew miovement an impetus in this country winch would surpass in power even the reforma- tion of the 15th century. Mirra Laws.—Every now and then there isa mighty outery against the villianous, ridiculous and ibsurd system of militia laws throughout this country, particularly in this city. These laws cause the eountry to be more ridiculed throughout all por- tions of the civilized earth, than all the other sin and folly put together, with which it abounds. Not only does it cause ridicule, but imposes a duty upon a great portion of our most respectable citizens which makes them the laughing stock of the re- mainder. If they do not consent to act their part in this foolery, they are mulcted in heavy penalties, 1 go to provide midnight debauchery for a set 1! shutiling, idle, hulking fellows, who are too lazy o work, have not courage enough to steal, and to beg they know it is useless to try; they are so well known and despised throughout the community, that a day’s solicitation among the residents of this city would not procure them a three cent gin sling at night. These very fellows, under the color of the law, will enter a person’s dwelling—seize the most valuable article they can lay their hands upon —even, it has been known to be, the bed from under a sick wife and, children, sell it for a few shillings, though worth dollars, for a penalty they may have thought proper to inflict, because the husband did not think fit, or perhaps was prevented by illness, business or what not, to obey their mandate to make a fool of himself, in all probability at the loss «| his situation, thereby depriving his family ot their subsistence. Jt may be surprising how all this is endured; but (can only be accounted for, because “ what is eve- rybody’s business is nobody’s.” The people have a remedy for this growing evil in their own hands.— eet to use the means of the ballot box, fet all those who are more immediately liable to this robbery, injustice and insult, form themselves into an“ Anti-Militia Association ;” a very small con- tribution, quarterly or half yearly, will afford ample funds for the defeat of the knaves and their myrmi- dons, who fatten and carouse on their ill-gotten gains. The law is an expensive remedy, but there is no doubt that in the proceedings of militia offi- cers, in this and all cities, there have been, and are still, informalities enough to prevent the collection of a fine, and to punish all those who attempt it— The amount reqmired from each member will be much less than the penalties generally inflicted and extorted in such cases, without any danger of insult, assault and robbery. Before the close of the pre- sent winter, these idle vagabonds will find them- selves rather short of provender, if they have some ‘wo or three hundred suits at law to defend, partic- vlarly when all their collectors are cooped up in “ing Sing, or some such respectable dwelling. The free press of this country is ever ready and willing to assist the people in a just cause ; but the press can do but little without the people. It is use- fess for them to be continually praying to Jupiter— they must put their shoulders to the wheel, and they will soon get the wagon out of the ditch. ‘Tae Foreion News.—The news by the Britannia was received in Philadelphia on Friday might, ex- clusively from this office, and published in all the papers of that city this morning. It reached Phila- delphia nearly as soon as it did this city by the regu- ‘ar mail ‘Tue Crivton Barer Rosbery.—Parkinson, the person who has been on trial for this offence in the Sessions Court, for some day’s past, was about one «clock yesterday found guiity.

On the 26th ul. the Dominicans surprised the Haytien garrison at Saxavon, consisting of about 300 men, and after killing, according to the official account, 128, among which was one Colonel, took possession of the place. On receipt of the above news, the President ordered all the troops of this place (C. H.) to mareh for Saxavon, but informa- tion arriving that the Dominicans had evacuated and burnt the town, the order for marching was countermanded. Saxavon is the principal town on this side of the Island, about 18 leagues to the east- ward of Cape Haytien, and just within the Spanish lines. The Haytiens took it from the Dominicans in July last. The President is still preparing his grand expedition for the reduction of the Spanish port, which, it is said, will be ready to march in about one month. He has also ordered all the Mi- nistersand members of the Council of State to re- side at Cape Haytia. Several of these officials had arrived from Port au Prince. Theatricals. Park Tusarne,—Last evening a fashionable. and se- lact audience honored the re-appearance of Mr. H. Pla- cide upon the boards of the Pak. The play selected was the sterling comedy of the “Poor Gentleman,” in which Mr. Placide played the capital character of Dr. Ollapod. The rich and unctious wit which makes up the part, was gloriously expressed by Mr. Placide. The minor characters were also well played. Mrs. Bland as Emily Worthington, was, as usual, in her chaste and happy style. After this the farce of the ‘Double Bedded Room,” in which Placide played that most comical of characters, Dulcimer Pipes,which kept the audience in a periect roar pf laughter, and the evening closed with the farce of the "Dumb Belle.” On Monday evening the Delcy troupe appear again in the opera of “Der Freisceutz.” Bowrry Txeater.—The “Metropolitan” was again crowded last night in every part. Thore seems to be no diminution in the enthusiasm so generally manifested upon the first appearance of Mr. Hill, but on the con- trary, the houses improve nightly as his engagement draws to acloso. He appeared last night os Jedediah Homebred and Hiram Dodge to the entire satisfaction of | all present. Mr. Scott,§ as if to give eclat to the entire whole, appeared in his favorite part of Don Cesar de | Bazan, which concluded the bill for the evening. On Monday, we are to have Yankee Hill, J. R. Scott, Cony | and Blanchard, and Mr. Davenport, his first appearance | since his return from Philadelphia—in a most capital bill, and to which we shall hereafter more particularly refer. Avnamra.—This little place of amusement is nightly attended by large and fashionable audiences. Hern Avexanper.—This wonderful man, who has created such an extraordinary sensation since his arri- val in this eity, closed his bewildering entertainments last evening before one of the largest and most fashion- able houses we ever saw at Niblo’s. A most brilliant ar- ray of female beauty shone in the front seats, and the smiles which Alexander received were ample evidence of the satisfaction he gave. He is certainly the most | wonderful representative of the ancient magicians that | we ever saw. He leaves us for Philadelphia, where he will be received with a glad welcome, ‘and will, no doubt, be as successful as he has been here. him, we cannot but wish him all im: cess and prosperity. He will lon | | remembered, not only by his public, but private friends of this city. Ma. Temrteton.—This celebrated and popular vocal- ist is now at Albany giving concerts, where he had a tremendous audience on Thursday. We have heard ofa curious incident that took place at Springfield, where he intended to remain for a day and recruit. It occurred on last Wednesday. The rumor of his being there ha, | ving got around, a party of Scotchmen, numbering about fifty, from a place called Thompsonville entreated of him to give ‘an evening” in their village. | On Mr. Templeton’ s dec! ra and urging as his reason that he was in need of repose, having lately gone through a vast amount of mental and ‘physical lab rough conveyance, thrust him bodily into it, him to a large hall in the village, whero he found bled some 300 Ayrshire men, ‘The room was so miserably lighted, that Mr. could not distinguish a piano there, if there w: | instrument in the room. When Mr. Templeton had | somewhat recovered from this rough treatment and from his astonish: he enquired where the piano was that should act accompaniament. He was soon enlight- ened on this point, for it never entered the minds of his enthusiastic countrymen that a vocalist needed the as- sistance of a piano to help him to sing. “However, he saw he was in for it, and acting on the adage, “put astout | heart to a sty brae, having no chance of escape, he dashed into some of his favorite songs, and sent them away whistling the “Jolly Beggar” and “Auld Lang | Syne,” and highly delighted with the manner in whic! they entrapped him first and his singing afterwards To- | morrow evening, \.r. Templeton will give a concert at the Tabernacle, and the last for some time in this city. We met Gen'l Rufus Welsh at the Bowery Theatre last night, en route for Philadelphia. He was one among | the passengers in the Brittenia, and gives a very flatt ing account of the attentions paid him throughout rope as the “Ducrow of America” He is in excellent | health. Tue Krans are in Boston at the Howard Atheneum, | playing to crowded and fashionable audiences. Their engagement has been a highly successful one, and their | return to this city is looked for with much anxiety.

Mr. Dempster gave a concert in U evening, which was thronged. Auburn, on his way west. dir. Sloman and his accomplished daughters are giving concerts in Utica, which have been well attended. Miss Julia Turnbull is drawing crowded houses at Richmond. The Theatrical company, however, are said to be very bad The Charleston Theatre is in a flourishing condition. It has an excellent stock company, and is doing a good business. Mrs, Seguin took a benefit at the Chesnut street Thea- tre, hia, last evening—on which occasion “Nor- ma” and "Fra Diavalo” were presented. The Segui troupe have called the aristocracy, as well as the m' cal amateurs, from their homes, whenever they have performed. Messrs. Coney and Blanchard have been playing the Foreet of Bondy at the Walnut. The Ethiopian Serenaders gave their last concert in Philadelphia yesterday evening. They have been high- ly successful,and enchanted the ears of the good citizens with their melody. On Monday evening they make their debut at Palmo’s.

The managers may consider themselves for- tunate in securing her services. Master Burke gives a concert in Albany, on Thurs evening next. His performances} on the violin bi been highly spoken of, and no doubt he will create great sensation. Mr. Murdoch is playing at the Holliday street Th Baltimore, to brilliant audiences. On Friday ning “Hamlet” was pertormed. His delineation of this cha- racter will not soon be forgotten, by those who witness ed it at the Park, during his last engagement. ian Swiss Bell Ringers are giving concerts in Louis- ville.

Nothing short of the ejection of the “busses” from Broadway can remedy the evil, although asa temporary styptic, the corporation ought to cause the n@wly paved portions of the street to be sprinkled at the public expense. Atarm or Fire.—The elarm of fire yesterday after- noon, proceeded from the house of Dr. Mott, in Depot lace. The chief of police was promptly on the spot— owever, it was ascertained to be only the chimney on fire; but it gave much alarm to the family and also to the neighbors.

We fe: however, that his speculation will not be a profitable one; although, perhaps, he may | be quite as much deserving of patronage as the projec- tors of some exhibitions, who find especial favor with the very gravest among this rigidly righteous populo- | tion.

Police Intelligence. Nov. 22.—Horse Stealing—Edward Kelly, a knight of the charcoal box, was charged by Nicholas Troy with stealing a horse worth, according to his statement, near- ly $10. It pipeaee by what we can learn, that Kelly had taken a little fancy to speculate in horse, flesh—to be sure, as he said, the animal was rather thin; he met a black boy in the street, who offered to sell the “ critter” for $2. Now eosg Teddy, ready and willing to make a trade, offered him (the black boy) twelve shillings ‘The boy said it was rather low for a live horse, but being ushed for cash, sold him right off to the liishman, who umped at the bargain; but not so now, for he would like some one to take it off his hands, for to his great astonishment, the horse belonged toa Mr. ‘Troy, who finding out the whereabout of the animal, had poor Pad- dy arrested for horse stealing.

Jlowever, he took the matter in hand, and very soon trailed Miss Eliza to that den of iniquity kept by old “Honey” Miller, 22 Reade ‘street, snugly stowed away in one of the upper rooms, in bed with one of her cus- tomers. ‘he officer very politely removed her to the Tombs, where her father made an affidavit to the facts, and the Justice very justly sent her to the House of Re- fuge.

The first case was one of a man who stated that he had fallen off from a building some four years since, and fractured one clavicle and some of his ribs; that two years subsequent to the accident he commenced to experience some lameness in one of his legs, attended with a pain, extending from the hip down to the knee, though the lameness existed in the hip, and that the affected limb had since grown somewhat longer than the other. The professor remarked that,this was undoubtedly,a case of hip- joint disease, though it was rather uncommon to see it thus developing itselfin an adult, as it wasa dis- ease that more generally appeared in childre: id that it was rather peoular that in this c: lengthening of the limb was not attended with an and in connexion with this } gh them a caution rega i y, rent one, and depended upon an obliquity of th He also stated thatin the accident of contusion ef the hip th imb also depends upon ithe si ngth referred to are to be observed in pain, would give o c and finally recommended the patient to formed on the outside of the hip, that ind in order to attain that, he adv! permet quiet je jim to go into some of the public hospitals where he could enjoy the necessary treatment. cage of a woman with a syphilitic af- bones of the nose.

A boy then came foward, afflicted with severe stam- mering. The Professor referred to what he had said on & previous occasion, regarding the probabilities of suc- cess in the operation for this difficulty, and the results that almost invariably attended it; and after explaining that he had always operated in these cases with the purest motives of assisting the patients, and not from a mere desire to use the knife, he stated that he had con- cluded in this particular case not to operate, as be had, within a day or two, seena medical friend, who had suc- cessfully troated upwards of thirty cases of this kind by a peculiar method, and that ho had offered to take this case in hand; therefore, he had concluded to give it into his hands, but should the boy not mend under his mode of treatment, that he would in that case try the result of the operation.

This case was also attended with moveable car- tilages. He said he would never advise a person thus situated to submit toan operation without trying other things, and would recommend the use of a knee cap or bandage. The next was a very melancholy case of a young boy with an amaurotic affection of the eyes, depending ap- parently upon an idiopathic affection of the brain, in which there doubtless exists some effusion and pressure on the optic nerye. This being purely an idiopathic af- fection, the Doctor most feelingly end delicately nform- ed the mother of the child that he was sorry to say that the chances of a recovery were very small indeed. He, however, advised her to have a seton placed in the back hild, and put rative treatment of diuretics and hydrago- gue catnartics.’The remaining cases were of much interest in a professional point of view, and to those who are in the enjoyment of their health and faculties, would have afforded much ground for reproof of any grumbling spi- rit that they may occasionally indulge in ; and in fact we can imagine no better prescriptiontior a discontented man, who is in the enjoyment of his health, than to at- tend one of these cliniques, where so much suffering and pan of view, is presented, piyin a proportionably forcible lesson to those who are in health to be thankful for that blessing. The lim- its of a passing report do not enable us to enter fully into a technica\ description of all the ailments that were rescribed for ; suffice it to say, that they were all most lucidly described by the Professor, and thus a two-fold object was fully accomplished, the students were groat- ly benefitted by his remarks, and the poor sick patients were consoled and sent on’ their way rejoicing in the probability of an early recovery. Daring Ovurrage.—A most daring outrage, wascommitted upon James Allen, a bowsman of one of the packet boats plying between Utica and Syra- cuse, on Sunday evening last, he being severely shot in the leg by some person unknown. The occurrence took place a mile or so east of Oriskany. It appears that the packet met a lake boat, upon which were some ruf- fians, some of whom had an antipathy to Allen, and dared him to the tow-path for a fight. Mr. Allen immediately jumpod ashore, and was no sooner on shore than he was fired at. After the first shot the exclamation was heard from the lake boat, G—d d—n him, shoot him again.” It appears that nothing short of death would answer their turn. Measures were immediately taken by the acket hands and passengers to ferret out the villain: he lake buat was thoroughly searched and no one found aboard but a woman and a lad, who had concealed himself, the villains having fled. Mr. Allen is now at Stanwix Hall, suffering severely from the effects of his wound, which will lay him up for the winter ; he is un- der the care of Dr. G. W. Pope.—Rome Sentinel. Allen, {the person referred to above, was a bowsman on Capt. Myers’ packet, which runs between Syracuse and Utica. He was brought to this village on ‘ednesday morning, aud died on Thursday morning, at Brintnall’s Farmers’ Exchange, inflammation and morti- fication having taken place. His residence was Liver- pool, in this town, where he has left a wife and one child, and was about 30 thoi of age. His murderer's name is Henry Fuller, a hand on boat H. J. Myers, of Mohawk, Capt. Morgan. His residence is Medina, Or- Jeans county, where he has a wife. Immediately after he shot Allen he fled, and has not yet been arrested.— Syracuse Journal. The circumstances connected with this murder are particulurly distressing. The deceased was bows- man upon the packet going we: In going out of Utica, an infirm old man fell into the basin.— In the darkness and confusion, some time elaps before any relief came. fhe packet had proceeded se- yeral rods, when Allen, seeing that nothing was done by those on shore to rescue the drowning man, plunged into the canal, swam to the exha invalid, and brought his apparently lifeless body on shorg. ‘Allen then resumed his post, and the packet glided on for a few miles, when she was obstructed a few minutes by aquarrel between freight borts that had blocked the passuge. As the scow-boat, H. J. Myers, passed the packet, a man, with a musket in his hands, first used profane and threatening language, and then fired at Allen. The charge took effect just below the knee, where from fifty to seventy-five large duck shot were deposi When thus shot down, the Packet passen- gers were engaged in manifesting their sense of the generous conduct of eee Allen, in rescuing an infirm old man, by a liveral donation.—dibany Journal, Nov. 21. Hornimtx Occurrence —A correspondent of the Indianapolis State Sentinel relates the follow- ing :—At Frankfort, Indiana, on the 6th inst., about half past 4 o’clock, the alarm of fire rang thrqugh our yil- at first but a few voices cried the alarm ; but soaneyery street echood with shouts and poured out their numbe: The county jail was on fire ; a wood building which stood in the north-west corner of ublic square. It contained one prisoner, who was in- icted and tried the last term of the court for petit ny, found guilty by the jury, but the judge believing the evidence against him insufticient to convict him, set aside the verdict, and he was bound for his appearance at the next court. He was a boy of 18 ; daring, reckless ‘unprin d. He had broken out of several jails before his imprisonment in this, and had burned out of this once and escapod, but returning with a quantity of stolen property, he was again confined. He waa put into the dungeon. His object probably was to burn the lock of the trap door, force it, and make his escape. Doubtless while engaged in this the fire got beyond his reach, rushed into the upper part of the building, and was bursting from tho roof when the cry of fire was heard. he first person who arrived atthe spot could | hear no sound from within, and all stood uninterested spectators, whilstthe flames rolled on. It was a point | upon which many opinions were difleront, whether he had pongo or whether he was consumed by the fire. To-day about ten o'clock a search was made, after | deadening the coals, in different parts of the room floor, without finding any trace of mains. The | peers were leaving the spot with the opinion that | had escaped ; but some more searching for the remai: | of his bed, afew human bones were found upon it ; whilst his crisped shoes and ot! clothing were dis- cate also. The wretch was burned. No one Court Intelligence. Grxeaat Sxssions, Nov. 22—Before the Recerder, Aldermen Brady and Divver.—Conviction of Wm.

The Chamber of Deputies took official notice of the revelations made of their pro- ceedings in secret session, and members were anxious to punish the in the bi ess. This goes far towards showing that the revelations must have been substantialiy correct. Gen. Paredes has written to the Mexican’ government that his greatest pride shall be to repress all revolution- ary movements and put down any illegal opposition to the proposed negotiation with the United States. We have this intelligence upon authority in which we place every reliance. And further, there appears a communication in one ot the Mexican papers most violently opposing the propo- sed treaty, which is attributed to Bence Boves, a promi- nent member of the Chambers and opposed to the admi- nistration. And to show the feeling manifested by the Mexicans towards this country, we may mention an incident which occurred when the squadron was about leavii The day before the Commodore sailed from Vera Cruz, he desp.tched the sloop-of-war St. Mary's.

Dis- tracted as the country now ith money nor credit, robbers upon every road, malcontents in every quarter, and reckless rants for place or plun- der ineyory city and town—it is almost impossible for the present Government to hold pppeise much longer.
