In mg !ast, I informed you of the brig “ Lothera on Cozumel. Herz hull and cargo were sold to Messrs. Joh L, Priest & Co., of this place and Boston Mr. Robert- som, the partner of Mr. Priest, took possession of the wreek, and was quietly proceeding to save the cargo, with his vessel, the sloop Active, and a large gang of hands, and bad worked three or four days, when they were driv- en away by about three hunired armed Spaaiarda, as- Misted by an American wrecking-schooner from Key West, or some part of Florids. Captain Bentley, her master, left her in cbarge of his chief'mate and crew, and came here for assistance, on the sloop Active. When here be appointed an sgont who chartered'the schooner True Blue, and dispatched hor at once to the wreck, Captain Bentley went back im the schooner, having first abandoned his brig to the underwriters, as did also the shippers of the cargo, which was sold by the agent at public auction on the 20th of September, to Messrs. Priest & Co., who that day sent the Active to save the cargo, Captain Bentley remained on board, or by the brig, with his crew, and the schooner Tiue Blue. He stripped the brig and put the materials on board the schooner, and left her on the 6th of October. Mr, Priest's men worked at her until the 12th, when they were driven off. This is a case on which no two persons here agree, but which all say is an act of piracy on the part of the Amer- feam echooner, the commander of which is accused ot ‘being the whole cause of the couree pursued by the Bpanlards, as they bad frequently visited the verael before, offering their services, which had been respect- fully declined, and bad made no claim to the vessel or the cargo until the arrival of the American schoouer, Now, what right has an American vessel to oruise on there waters, and, induce, encourage, anil assist an ignorant, halfeavage people to commit acts of piracy? There has been several vessels from and to this }, Wrecked on that Island. all of which have been assisted from here ; some have been got off, others have had portions of their cargoes and the materials brought in here and sold. We can haye no chjections to any ons saving wrecked property, but we do object to be driven off and away from our own rani and we mos: solemnly protest against such conduct, let it come trom where it may.

A large quantity of this drift wood is picked up by our coasters or fishermen. They generally secure it at rome one of the Kays, and bring the marke to Belize, wherethe owner pays them for their trouble. Much wood thus sccured has been during the last year taken away, and suspicions aro very justly enter that the schooner in question has been the vessel whioh has taken this wood. It is probable that they may huve bought it from the residents at the Kays, but if they have even purchased it, the parties who sold it had no right to sell. and could give no legal title; and the con- duct of those in charge of such vessels, who commit auch acta, who are willing to buy property under such circum- stances, is, to say the loart, very dishonest, and may bring trouble to themselves and difficulties to our go- veroment. ‘This matter will not rest here, as Mr. Priest Is a rost- dent of Boston, and his partoer here, a British subject, will test the matter to the utmost, and bring the achoon- er and all concerned to a rigid account Our little town remains healthy, notwithstanding the bad and hot weather.

His lordship took his toxt from the 10th of St. Luke, andthe 18th verso:—“And Josus said unto him, why callest thou ma good’ There 4s nowe good but one, that 4#God.” Wo hare overy reason to rojoice at ie axist- ence of the gospel, and that we are endowed with mental Powers to appreciate the truths contained in the gowpel, sndought truly to feel gratified that, through Jesus Christ we may one day enter the kinglom of heaven. That glory will be coached by every faithful Christian Whatever bo tho sins of the leathen world, wha! punishmest afforded to the heathens by the just judg ment of a merciful God, we shail be judzed by a diffor- ent rule anil reoeive our punishment tn a diilerent man- ner, It is right that we should bear this im mind, aise that which should have been the meaas of life unto lite, of the truth with am improper epirit and temper, may stumble in thepath of duty in acquiring auch knowl edge. The variety of ways in which religious know can be gained in the present day, and tho certnia amount whioh al! receive in childhood and youth, while yet under parents, tutors. or guardians, is such that we can all act upon and console ourseives with. and we can ail pursue the tight path throughout mature ifs, if Satan deceiveth not our hearts. It is in strict accordance with God's wish, that little children showid be brought up in sueh a way ag they may learn to love and fear their ma- ker, and though they may be diverted from the true path in after Life. yet many of thom. when so grown up, and cest upon ths troubled waters of the world. and bean on- couraged to sin, in tfulness of bett things, have returned at last to their father’s house, and been thus awakened, aa it were, by some instinct, from thoir sloop, in due time seeming to bear the ripening fruit of such eari: xoeilent training Sureiy a blessing will attend suc! are for little oliiidren, and imetrvet them fn virtue and right religion, But when we pas those early ysars end come to men’s estate, we are no lomger under pa rents, tutors or governors, and we then seek instruction in religion as we please, whem and where we piease, Many gain tae wisaed for knowledge through the public administration of the church and the presching of the Christiam ministers; and on that point I will giva you a short admonition. Kirst of all, let us bearin remem. brance that preaching is part ‘of the public adminis- tration of the church for {ta militant state here on earth, and that the exhortations, warnings, reproofs, and oon- solations, ars intended to bo for the edification of the whole bedy of Christians, as well as for the conversion of the heathen. On this very subject St. Paul hi ‘eioquently and truthfully in his various opisti preachings of ihe ministers of the church be efle they must be 50 because they are the works of God; and it being thereby evident that the preacher is tia appoint- ed minister of God, you ought to take cars how you neg- lect the lessona incuicated The tendencies of the tem ers and habits of men in the present day have, perhaps, en the causes why so many forgotten the divine exceilencies of ths ordinances and effeotual workings of the Holy Spirit But Texhort you to forget not that preziag is the end of all preaching, and that the joure of God is truly the house of pragor. Mere praying is no proof of holiness, however; for we aca how few worshippers will habituelly attend pisces where sermons are not regularly proached, and how many will crowd toa church where a famed Rone is to deliver an address and how few of thoso really desire to receive a. benefit from such preachings. But ‘hey will fud in simost all of those sermons something that may be ap- plicable to their own individual cases—somes rebuxe or some consciation and itis to be hoped that they may profit by what they hear. But at any rate, it cannot but be most dangerous to themselves and offensive to God whea chings with the seme feelings as they are acoustomed +o Listen to any effort of men’s intelisots elsewhere. or a4 » mere subject of criticism for approval or condemnation, or as a series of mere: able excitements. What we have heard recel it, will allone day be made apparent when the books of God’sremembrances shall be opened. It is because we are the ambascudors of Christ that we would warn you togive heed to what you hear.

Life in New York, EXTRAORDINARY MOOK AUCTION CASE—MORK ~ LAW WANTED. Notwithatanding the frequent exposures of fraud practised by the mock auctioneers and Peter Punks: sé published in the public newspepers, cautioning tho unsuspecting strangers visiting tho metropolis on business, from entering the shops of these swind lors, yet in thé face of all tho caution the verdant strangers are induced to speculate in the infatuation of buying bargains at auction, believing that arti- cles thus purchased must be cheap. Not understand- ing the combination of the various proprietors of these shops, aided by a conspiracy of mock bidders, or a3 they are termed, ‘Peter Funks,” the stranger does not find out his mistake until he has been di- vested of a sum averaging from fifty to hundreds of dollars. In this vile system of mock auction, sano- tioned to an extent not very creditable to the police authorities, a new feature has beon displayed of late, in which the duped countryman is not only made to pay more than three timos the value of an article denominated a gold watch, but after being thus defrauded, accomplices,hovering in and about these shops, follow up the stranger to his hotel, and thore in another form of false representations defraud him out of the purchased property, leaying him no evidence or value whatever for the sum of money already paid out. We must confess that in relating this case we almost repeat the story so often. given before, but unless we do so we shall not be able to intzaduco the new species of robbery, and make it intelligible toour readers. In the first place we williatroduce th victim to our readers by description. Mr. Poter Cole store-keeper, residing at Centreville, Alloggany coun- ty, this State, about thirty-Gve years of ago, of com try appearance, strictly henest, and evidently o the belief that all othors were honest likewise, ar rivedin thiscity a fowdays since for the purpose o buying geods, bringing wit him a cash capital o several bundred dollars. (ya his arrival, he put up at Taylor's Hotel, Courtindt street, and the next day (Friday) visited samy. of the wholesale stores in the vicinity, in order ‘io make s selection of dry goods suitable for his. weinesa, In the course of tho morning, he strolled to Broadway, whore the e:r of the stranger was a’ ttracted with “going! going ! it anc the bY mmer of the auctioneer sounded iy on the c# unter, ng the words, indisorimi- blended w¥ a the clatter of the hammer on of the f.ountryman—‘‘ cheap, cheap! onl, for ‘@ splendid gold watch!” Mr. Colo ais @Y ention to the shop where he saw ex- ibited in tly, window, gold watches, chains, ko., cf apparen’s great valuc. Now, in order that our readers fy more readily understand the whole affair, We ‘give the story, a8 noar a3 possidlg, in his vn lang jage, 23 follows :— Whe I entered the store, it being in Broadway of coumsr,, [thought it was all honcst and right; T saw q’site a number of gentlemen about the coun- ter bidding on a gold wawh. I looked on, and two or three spoke to me and enid, they guessed the watches sold pretty cheap. Just then a young man bid off a gold watch for G4 This man said he ws3 9 watobmeker from Hoboken, and know the moat tollox returned the bag with this instruction: © Toke your money, return it to your chest, let it lay untouched jor ten days—after which time you will find your eredi tors coming in, and every cent due will be speedily col- lected” Fully sae with its truth, the old woman did ae instrvated. But the next day her suspicious being awakened by a friend she thought she would loo at ber money and sce that ail was right, when jo! ard behold, her $5 gold pieces had been all converted ato coppers.

The persons in the store kept idding up, until it was going for $116; aad not neste | te lot it go for ao low a price, I bid it uy myeelf until it reached $150; it was then knoo off to me. I supposed all this timo that it was my watch, but they said it wasn’t, and auotionesr said it was another watch I had bought, and unless I took it, I shouldn’t have my’own; 0, being fear- ful I might loose all my money, I paid the $160, and took both watohes, whioh atood me, in alt ther, $260 cash, and my own silver watch into bargain.

On my return to the hotel I showed the check to the barkeeper, whe said he believed the check was s humbug, as it afterwards turned out to bo.

We have the facts as rolated by tke man bimself. Thus it will be seon that the mock auotioneers not only sold the man two watches for $260—worth, in truth, about $60—but absolutely two other accomplices conspire together and cheat him out of the watches, thereby ond him of the evidence whereby the police d have been enabled to have prosured back the money The mock auctioneers, of course, would not restore the money without the production of the watches The system of following .up the victimised to the hotel, and concocting @ plan to rob him of the watches, has not, to our knowledge, been done ve- fore. In this instance, however, the whole fraad was complete, and it is to be regretted that the police sre not more empowered, so aa to check suck outrages.
