There seems to be considerable interest felt for the arrival of the several packets now due at this We may hourly expect the arrival of two or three of them, including the Massachusetts.

RELIGION AND THE Press.—We give, in our paper | to-day, a full report of a lecture, delivered by the Rev. C. ©. Pise, in Barclay street Church, last Sunday evening. We also givea sketch of a ser- | mon, preached by the Kev. Dr. Adams, on the reli- | gious condition and vocation of England; and, also, | a lecture delivered by Dr. Guistiniani, who repre- sents himself as a Methodist minister who changed | trom the Catholic church. what it 18 worth. We believe that this system of publishing reli- gious discourses—which was first introduced by us | —has been attended with a great many good effects. Ithas helped to do away, in a great measure, with the narrow sectarian prejudices entertained by the different religious sects throughout the country and | the world, by putting the different doctrines of each fairly before the world, without note or comment. In this way all the diflerent denominations have had a fair opportunity of propagating their doc- (rines on the only true and rational ground of con- vietion; the result of whfth, we believe, is that a great deal of the animosity, and unfounded pre- judices, eatertiined towards certain sects, has been This we publish for | If the power of the press was effectual in nothing else, it deserves to be ranked as one of the greatest | blessings, if it can be devoted to exterminating that system of reviling and defaming, which at one ume characterized the efforts of churchmen in pro- pagating their doctrines; and which impelled their followers to “ cut each other’s throats for the love Pouce Bit.—The Board ot took up the consideration the Police Bill on Thure- day evening, and among other amendments, propos- ed an augmentation of the present force to 850 men, and an increase of salary as follows: Chiet of Police, by this provision, is to receive $1600; Captains ot Police, $750 ; Captains of Pa- trol, $650 ; Sergeants, $550, and Policeman, $550— increasing our present taxation, in this particular de- partment to about $100,000. They are also to hold these appointments for four years, if their good be- haviour should entitle them to hold their respective | positions for that length of time.

It is said that John Friend, the young ship builder.of this city—the one who built the famous pilot boats Mary Ellen, Wm. J. Romer, &c.—has received several orders for yachts, and that they are to be finished by next summer seen many of the Royal Yacht Squadron of England, state that, for beauty of model and for speed, not one of them can surphss those attached to the “ American Yacht Fleet” that was concentrated in our harbor last summer. Many may be larger, but none superior.

Is there no way to increase the number of American seamen? —<—___ Town Exxctions.—The town elections in Mont- gomery county, have just resulted in the choice of six vhig and tour democratic supervisors.

We are indebted to Mr. Marshall, who is con- nected with the New York and Boston Telegraphic | Company, for information of the number of routes now fisished and in operation, and such others as | are/being constructed. There are already finished and in operation a line from Baltimore to Washing- ton; aline from Philadelphia to Newark, N. J., which is intended to be carried through to New | York—but the difficulty of laying the wires at the bottom of the Hudson river, or through the air over | pearance It is in | during the ensuing week, playing alternate nights with that river, has prevented its completion. the wires might be enjoyed,without undergoing the trouble and expense of sending to Newark. The line from Boston to Lowell is also completed, and also a line from Boston to Nantucket ; and the New York Offing Telegraph, from New York to Coney Island. The two latter were built for the purpose of obtaining marine news at the earliest moment, and the latter has been for a portion of the time nm operation. In additon to those lines that are finished, there are several under contract, many of which will be | finished in a short time. One of the most impor- tant of these, is the New York and Boston line, passing over the old post road to Bridgeport and | New Haven, thence to Hartford, Springfield, and Worcester, and by railroad to Boston. Sections of this line are now entirely finished, and the remain- ing portions are rapidly approaching completion. The severity of the winter, and the shortness of the days, have retarded the work somewhat, although, considering that the “right of way” was not pro- cured until the middle of November last, great des- patch has been evinced in its construction. It is expected that this route will be completed | next month. We hope it will be, for it is of the utmost importance, during the present state of our foreign relations, to have the news by the Boston steamships in the possession of the mer- chants and the government at the earliest moment. If that, and the New York and Phi- ladelphia, and the Philadelphia and Balti- more routes were completed, the news by the steamers would reach Washington before the ves- sel touched the dock in Boston. The next steamer, after the coming one, will leave Europe on the 4th | of March, and the news which it will bring, will | probably be most important to the interests of this country, in various points of view. We sincerely wish, therefore, that the arrangements of the Boston and New York line will have been completed by | that time. | The jine next in importance is the New York and Buffalo line. The section between Albany and Utica, 96 miles in length, is entirely completed, and is daily used. The proceedings of the Legislature | are published simultaneously in Utica and Albany. The posts between Utica and Buffalo are all erect- | ed, and as soon as the weather will permit, the wires will be extended, and the entire route between Al- bany and Buffalo finished. This line will probably connect with the Boston line, at some convenient point, and thus form a connection with New York This road will be very beteficial to the West, and obviate many speculations on the farmers of that re- | thrown in such a furor by them that w: It 18 probable that this line, i - | der if the poor th: P nt this line, instead of oom-'| TF or these, Probable Glty ec Wicked thogaind velar: tines will be sent by the various posts to-day.

As soon as the harsh weather is over, | there willbe a route constructed from Ithaca to Auburn, a distance of thirty-eight miles. From Harrisburgh to Philadelphia the posts and wires are allup, and it will be opened immediately. The route from Philadelphia to Baltimore is under con- tract, and will be finished in about sixty days. It will be seen, therefore, that within a very short | time, the North, South, East and West,will be con- nected by this invisible agency; and before many | years, there is no doubt the extremities of our vast country will be brought into close contact—into a | Frankfort watch and chain, valued at $40, and some other articles bey Slop with which the thief escaped. circle of communities within five minutes communi- cation with each other. Martia, Law—Imprisonment FoR Non-PAYMENT or Mizitia Fings.—We commented, not long since, upon the strange anomaly among us of the existence of courts martial, by whose warrant citizens were hable to be seized upon at their homes, or in their | stores, and dragged ignominiously to jail. We then deprecated the idea of leaving it to a jury to | create jurisdiction of such a terrible kind, by their | votes, judgments, or verdicts ; as it appeared to us | that the statute book alone can decide the question | of jurisdiction, and give or take away the same. It exists, or itdoes not. In either case, it is for the Judge to know the statutes, and not for the jury. He is to decide, not they, whether the defendant,jin his plea, has made out a case of jurisdiction, or has failed to do se. We are now happy to learn that there isa pros pect of at least some partial remedy to this griev- ance. A bill has been introduced into the Senate for abolishing imprisonment for non-payment of militia fines. It leavesthe law, in every other res- pect, unaltered. The collector may levy by distress, sell your bed, or otherwise annoy you, by virtue of martial law, but he cannot, henceforth, if this bill is passed, convey you to jail. So far, 80 good ; for we hold, with the old adage, “half a loaf is better | than no bread.” Tue Party Contentions in ALBANY.—We refer our readers to the Legislative proceedings at Al- bany, for the last few days, but particularly those in | opposed to his visits,and forbid him the house.

The fall of dynasties is matter of history, and is always interesting, as exhibiting the vanity ot human affairs, the uncertain tenure of power, the fall of the great to nothingness. It we look narrow- ly into the criminations and recriminations of politicians at Albany, all will be likely to see that the Van Buren dynasty is tottering, and may be wholly killed by the deadly thrusts and attacks of its own friends. Nothing can exceed the bitterness and virulence with which the two sections or divi- sions of the great democratic party of our State daily attack each other. In these furious onslaughts, the old hunkers, or Van Buren-Wright party, seem to lose strength daily, and the power which they have so long wielded, may be said to have slipped out of their hands. A new organization will be the conse- quence ef all this. be placed before the people at the coming elections; the old names have lost their influence. It may not be that the democrats generally will lose the power | in our; State, but that certain men, the quarrelling | leaders mong them, accustomed to place and | power, must give way, and the party unite upon new men, more liberal in their views and prin- | ciples. = ——— Twenty-Five Mam Bags Lost.—The | nguirer says the Belle Zane had on pou 4 she sunk, some weeks since, twenty-five mail The amount of money, drafts, &>., lost, can neve: wh.

Seve- ral novelties are now in active preparation, and we are inclined to think that this will be a more bril- liant season than any former one. Among the many alterations about the establishment, we see that the saloons, under the superintendence of Mr. Doremus, have been tastefully and elegantly fitted up, and every variety of refreshments are now furnished, for ladies and gentlemen. The celebrated Mr. Sands, and his talented children, are engaged to make their ap, adame Augusta.
