Dr. Bernunn next came forward, and op. ported, most eloquently and ut considerable length, views of the last speaker, He urged, as # further reason for maintaining the Sabbath School system, the i portance of educating youth in this country, where, under its five institutions, the young, feeling their inde- pendence, were ready to take ® more important part in the government than they were in other countries, He regretted that the system pursued in the Scotch Church, of expounding the Scriptures, was not enc in this country. and that the audiences craved rather after rhetorical effect than the reading and exposition of jod's word; and this again made the maintenance of Habbath schools more necessary than ever, In alluding to the difference between this and other countries, the reverend gentleman said that the many who had gone to Europe would return the moro delighted with theatr privileges, and Eevee 0 ibs, ia its very birth, any- thing that would tend to rive great confederation. ‘This produced spontaneous burst of spp! % which, ‘notwithsta: the time and place, was with difficulty quelled. “At the conclusion of this address, collection was taken up in aidof the Sabbath Sel cause, and a benediction concluded the exercises, con- siderably after ten o'clock. DEDICATION OF A NEW CHURCH. ‘The Methodist Episcopal Church (the Rev. Dr. Kenne- day, pastor.) recently erected on the corner of Pacific apd Clinton streets, was opened for Divine service on Bunday. It is an extremely tasty and commodious place of worship, built in a modern style of architecture, the exterior being of brown stone, It is capable of accom- modating +00 persona, the seats being free, and thoee in the body of the church all uniform. with comfortable curhicns By the statement read by the President of the ‘Trurtees, it appeared that the cost had been—of the building: $21,000; the lot. $6,000; furniture and fAetinge $2,000:— total, $: ‘The contributions had am to $14,000, and they hil raised upon bond and mortgage $10.00; thus showing a deficiency of $6,000, to meet | which # subscription was proposed to be taken up. And at the morning's meeting alono, names were given in for | different sums, from $500 to $10, amounting in the gato to upwards of $4500. The Rev. Waugh de- livered the dedication discourse, selecting as his text, * Holiners becomes thy house, oh Lord, for ever.” While be repuiiated certain forms aud ceremonies, he upheld the manifest propriety of comsiguing, by consecration and use, a building or sanctuary to the worship of God. He alluded to the two instances of the consecration of the Tabernacle, and that of Solomon's Temple, In the first, when he bad finished the work, “Mozes waa not able to onter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud ubode thereon. and the glory of the kord filled the tabernacle.” (Exod. xi. 34.) Hore was a visible manifestation of the Divine approval. In the second, when tho Templo was consecrated to God, we find a striking eviderce of God's approval. Wo gathi clusively from those two instances enough to show such consecrations are acceptable to God, when . in the true spirit of piety they wre set apart. There was nothing superstitious in’ the setting apart | houses for the worship of God, Though we must not | new, under the dispensation it was our privilege to en- | joy, expect signs and tokens, as in the daya when tho Temple and the Tabervacle were consecrated. But it Was meceseary, likewise, to consecrate our whcle bodies | and souls, and all that we had, to the service of God. | The first consideration he would offer to them was the infinite conde:cension of God in sccepting and having ahouse on earth. This had struck the royal dedicator, Solomon, and in the midst of the oousecration, he had exclaimed “ But will God indood dwell upon God, who aloue could auswor such a ques tion, had done 60 most gloriously, through his prophet Isalah, who thus saith The Holy One, who inhabits abd dwells in holy places, #lso dweils with them who are humble aud contrite in spirit.” Tho next point wasthe kind of holiness that became his house, and it was holiness arising from (he use of it; and undor this por. | tion of bis discourse the Rey. Bishop took occasion to | point out tbe proper demeanor and conduct to be ob- | served within its walls, both by preachers and heare and réprimanded pructices too common to both. TI dedication that they were about to offer, waa one in prayer and faith—the only one which was nowjacceptable-— the burnt offerings uudor the Mosaiac dispensation bul typleul of the things to come. He then comgratul them on the commediousness of the building, which offered @ facility to his brother ministers to preach the word of God to three times tho number of the furmer congregation; and particulariy on the fact of the pe being feee to'ail, ax he hoped evee to eco thom Im con- clusion, he exhorted his hearers to consecrate their hearts to the eervice of God, and to increase thelr com- gregation by every diligent exertion, not by going about fn the spirit of rectariantsm, to prosiyte thoes who were howed in other religious houses—that he repudiated as too mean for the Christian character—but by bringing those who never go intoa church at all; and there were of euch more in this city than would fill a1 the churches, numerous a8 they wore. The Rov. Bishop then offered sp appropriate prayer, and the Doxology, chaunted by the chelr, conciuded the morning's services The Tart.

Nothing can be more pleasing to the lover of pre gress, or more congenial to the feelings of these whose motto is ‘ Onward,” than to sec improve- ments in anything that appertains to civilized life. Nothing can more clearly show the spirit of ad- yancement, or the growth of prosperity, taste, aad refinement, in any community, than the fact that “where stood the humble and meegro dwelling, pe- culiar to a more remote age and a less enterprising people, magnificent structures, of various styles og architecture, are rearing thoir heads several stories higher than those whose sites thoy now ecoupy. Im walking through this city, tho perambulator caa- not but be struck with admiration at beholding the largo number of clegant buildings of varied dosorip- tions, and in various stages of construction, together with other different kinds of laudable improvements, that everywhere mect his gazo ; and on reflection he murt be constrained to admit that Now York ig making gigantic strides on tho highway te celebrity as an unrivalled oity, and that, ere leng, she will be a mammoth field of ae- lid and noble structures, conpicuously dis, playing the #kill upd talont of her architeots, tho indefatigable industry and increasing wealth of hor citizens. It is not alone in the more contral aad fashionable parts of the city that rapid improve- mepté are boing made, Tho environs partake of tho same activity; aud we know many’ looslities where now stand :nean, dilapidated buildings, one or two stories high, that are to be adornod during the present summer with stately edifices of more modern taste and nevel construction. From the vast improvements that are going on in the north- ern’ part of tho city, up to Hlth étreet im | clusive, that section will soon be as donacly crowded with olegant buildings as the dis- tricts in the vicinity of the City Park. Be. sides beautifying tho city, enhancing the value of land, property, and contributing to domestie comfort, these changes aro of paramount impor- tance in another seuso. By removing old tottering buildings, much that is disagreeable and detri- mental to health is removed with them; and thus, by respectable now buildings naurping the places of the menus and old, the seighborbood will become more respectable; order and cloantiness wil be hhered fo, and the sanatery eondi- p community will be matoially v below a list of naw buildings ia diff cousteuction in the more com tral parts of the city; and we shell follow the sub- ject up, ae improvements progress, so that our readers may have an idea of what the people ef New York are caps)le of doing.
