Germen by the Rev. G. Potts, D.D. Rev. G. Porm, D.D., yestordpy evening delivered © ser- ‘nee, at the chureh in Univerity place, on the subjeotof the Jewish and Christian Sabbath. The body and galleries of the edifice were crowded to excess by & highly respectable audience. The reverend gentleman took for his text the fifth verse of the sixth chapter ef Luke, ‘“‘And he ssid tunte them that the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sab- Deth,”’ and procesded as follows :— ‘The part assigned to me in this discourse is the relation which the Christian and the Jewish Sabbaths bear to each other. In supporting the authority of tho Christian Sabbath, I plant myself upon the morality andthe im- mutability of the fourth of the moral laws of God, no watter when they were given, or under what peculiar circumstances. Assuming the divine origin of the insti- tution of Moses, and after the study of the institutes which he gave to the Israelites when God chose them, for eertain reasons, to be depositories of the true worship, I find these institutes divide themselves into two classes. First, the class generic, clear and simple, are few in number, but have secured the admiration and consent of all thinking men, as containing in the most eonclusive forms and t general principles of moral obligation, suited to all cireumstances and conditions of men, and of so absolute s nature that it is impossible to reverse or rescind them without the entire subversion of aociet; ‘The second division of them is those which ew oe the duties which we owe to God, and upon those duties which we owe to our neighbors aud our- selves ; and how could society exist in a safe condition if the laws, fer instanee, prohibiting murder, theft, adul- tery, or falsehood, were rescinded? These laws, by uni- versal consent, are in some form so absolutely indispen- sable that if we eouki suppose it possible that God were to reeall them, man would have to proceed to re-enact them. They are the granite foundations of human con- duct. The rights of the ten laws are moral rights, un- changea le rights, founded in the natore of things and the necessities of the case, and they have all the marks of universality. We cannot conceive society without them. Who will then dare to lay scandalous hands upon this code, and say tbat: any. pers is cape. bi 4 being removed —_ removing the whole? 1 my stand upon the original, absolute, the immutable nature of the law did net originate it, but merely republished it. I claim for it all the authority which be- Jonge to its associate laws, all of which have been held as vereally true, as Suitable, and as binding as if there had never been 8 Jewish nation or a Jewish economy. For, observe, first, that, were the other laws the laws of Paradise and the laws of the patriarchs, so was this no less. 1 cannot, however, follow that, but will confine my- self to the remarkable circumstance’ that the command, as then graven in stone by the finger of God, takes for granted the pre-existence of the Sabbath law ‘previously to that time, and of the Israelites knowledge of the reasop of it, viz.: the completion of the creation of the world by God. The language is, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it ony and this law is traced to Paradise, when God ceased from all the works that he made, ard enjoined a remembreince of that event which was neces. sary to man, either in innocence or guilt. Like all the other laws found in company with it, the design and ope- ration of this law proves its moral, perpetual and obliga tory character. I mean by this that, like its companions in the cede, it secures the rights of God and the well- being of man. Society could not get on without a Sabbath. ‘The rignt observance of this law proves itself to be as fundamental as the sixh, or any other commandment, from the fact that its faithful observance has always proved to be the most pewerful presefver of the other parts of the woral code Ge through that code, and ask whether there is one of those laws which will be better observed, if men, or a community, disregard the fourth of them, than by men or a ‘community that know and put the law to ita right use. Take out the fourth stone of the arch, will it strengthen or weaken the rest? If you can show mea community where morals are better, eras without a Sabbath rightly observed, with ene, it will be time to admit that by rom: teange accident that a partial law bas found its ws to tl very bosom of a series of statutes which are admitted to b> universally necessary. It can be Proved that s reve- rential devotion of the seventh part of time to the pur- poses of religion, and repose from the cares, amusements and Isbors of the world, has always gone hand in hand with love and a reverence for God, and a regard for the social rights and duties; and the main- tenance of religion stands identified with the ob- servance of the sacred time, ina greater or less degree. Look upon the Roman Catholic and the Protestant body, Tam sad to say, of continental Europe. Observe the a0. sence of the observance of the Sabbath there, and you will have one of oe Causes that have brought society to so terril 8 condition as that which is now b ovprie there. Continental Europe has no Sabbath. of the greatest errors of the Reformation lay in not adhering to the observance of the day God had com. manded, upon the ground that it was built upon the fourth yg and Soe — a@ matter of Hehehe ency, ani observance of it upon the same footing as ates ‘and Easter. about which there was no command in the Scriptures, old or new, but the intro- duction of which into the Christian economy, in imita- tion of the economy of the (ld Testament, that was des. tined to pass away with the more perfect economy of Jesus Christ. et Scottish and English Protestantism of that period ind the only bulwark, in all Europe, against this fal-e reaso1 , that the law of God was a ‘mere judicial ceremony, and not an essential moral and infallible principle and obligation. The Sabbath has been the glory of Scotland and England, but it has been a comparative nullity to other parts of Europe. TheChris- tian Church is bound bythe Sabbatical law, and that law has not been ebrogated by any authority. It eon. firms itself. There is no principle limitation. It was recognized by Christ and observed by the Apostles, and has been transmittea to the Church of all ages. These id Moses are our positions, and it is impossible that any rational | objection can be made to them. The reverend gentleman holy the Sabbata day,” ana CHa Bis tadipnce #4, Ke welfare depended upon a religious observance of that commandment. The Doxol was then sung, a benediction pro- nounced, and e congregation dispersed: ‘The Theatre and the Church.

Dr. Hatfield asks, in speaking of theatrical entertainments, “Should you andi encourage and sup- port sucha system’ Should we lend it the encourage ment of our persons and our purse ?”’ We unhesitatingly and boldly answer, yes! It is that very support, and that encouragement, most needed to do away with every objectionable feature ina theatre. Uf the clergy would, at theatres and other places of public Smasement, mingle with their congregations, and partake of their rational amusements, their presence and the respect voluntarily paid at all times to their sacred office, would restrain all improper conduct in a theatre or ina ball-room, and prevent the exhibition of any such gross licentiousness as he alludes to origin of theatrical representations; they were religious ing, the su; melee Setanta county (Kerry) in Ireland, » neighbors before ir emigration to this . Lynch were the daughters of John Donavan, steward of the Earl of Kenmare; they were born in Killarney. Honora was the eldest, she was about forty-six years of age at the time of her death. She mar- ried a Dr. John W. Lovatt at the neighboring town of her they emigrated to the United States, ™ ba ap in Philadelphia. The husband was mue! e oldest of twain, and for @ long time before his death, (which occurred on the 8th of Jani me! he was entirely ane upon the ex- ertions of his wife for's support. "They were married fourteen years, and had no children. Shortly after the death of the first husband, the widow married again. The second husband, a man named Shaw, subsequently deserted his wife, and went to try his fortune in ifornia. Mrs, Shaw was addicted to drinking; with that exception she bere a good character. She is represented as being a warm-hearted, kind woman Even, the youngest of the two sisters, was also mar- ried at the town of Dingle. She married a cartwright with two children. The widow soon after came to the United States, leaving her little ones in the care of h friends at home. Upon the passage to this count was attacked with ship fever, and arrived in Philadelphia, sick and destitute. she met with Bartholomew Lynch, between whom and her family relations of friend. ip had existed in Ireland, Lynch took care of her until she obtained a situation as housekeeper in the family of Mr. Durand, the druggist. Mrs. Dowd, although much younger than her kind friend and protector, married him about @ year since, and on the 22d of February the wife gave birth to twin children, Mrs. Lynch was but thirty one years of age at the time of her tragical death. She bore a most esti- mable character, and the warmest feelings of affection existed betweem her husband and herself. Bartholomew Lynch is a veteran soldier. He enlisted in the United States Dragoons in 1836; he served with distinction in Florida, under the command of the gallant Harney, and received'a wound while in that service. He subsequently served under Generals Taylor and Scott, and was in every battle of importance in Mexico. from Palo Alto to the taking of the capital. At Cerra Gordo and Chapultepec Lynch received wounds, the traces of which he still bears. Soon after the enlistment of our hero he was promoted to the rank of sergeant, a post he filled until the close of his military service. The sergeant re- turned to New York with the shattered remnant of the New York Volunteers, and was there presented by the authorities with a handsome silver medal, as a testimo- nial of their appreciation of his services, Sergeant Lynch was appointed one of fhe watchmen at the Philadelphia Navy Yard some time siace, and quitted that situation about three weeks ago, to go to New York, where he was promised a situation of some kind. The mouey he received at the close of his service at the naval station in this city is believed to have been the object which prompted the assassin who perpetrated the cruel murder of his wife and sister-in-law. Arthur Spring, the alleged murderer, was born at Mill town, county of Kerry, Ireland. It. is impossible to with any degree of precision what the age of this man is. In 1843 he said be was twenty eight years of age. He would consequently be but thirty-eight yeara of age at the present time. "His present appearance denotes a man of nearly fifty, but whether this is to be attributed to the wear and tear incident to the life he has led we are una- ble to say. If his son is nineteen, as is stated by thoxe | who know the family, the father must certainly be more than thirty-eight. ‘Those who are competent to judge, fix the age of Arthur Spring at from forty-five to forty: seven. In appearance the supposod murderer is far from pro- possessing, his countenance is forbidding, and there is a peculiar expression of cruelty and cunning about his eye, which is by no means attractive. He is stout built, and about five feet eight inches in height, has light blue eyes, and sandy hair, turning to grey. The top of his head is bald, and the ‘hair is brought around 60 as to conceal this defect as much as possible. ‘The precise time at which Spring emigrated to this country is not known. It it said that he came here in the year 1829. In 1835 he opened a confectionery store on the south side of Market street, above Thirteenth. He remained there for several years, during which time he was in bad repute among his neighbors, and wa: generally considered a bad man. His wife was the con: stant victim of his brutality, and was seldom free from the marks of his violence. In 1843 he was arrested for obtaining a quantity of liquor under false pretences from Mr. John Latour, in Walnut street, and was sub- sequently convicted of the offence, and sentenced to undergo an imprisonment of one year in the county prison, and to pay a fine of $400. Spring was pardoned out a few mouths after his incarceration by Governor Porter. It is a curious circumstance that on the records of the county prison, immediately in connection with the name and description of Spring, some person sketched, ten years ago, a gallows, with the figure of a man upon it, and under it the prophetic inscription, “ God is just, and will not suffer the guilty to escape.” After the release of Spring from prison, he went to New York, where he afterwards opened an eating and drinking cellar in Park row. Here he committed an outrageous robbery on an Irishman named Dillon, whom he not onl; robbed of a large amount of money. but he also broke his collar bone For this offence Spring was arrested and tried, but by some hecus pocus, brought about by the am mae of the i of {i site Tt OLA PeBaR§ Boner. the perpetrator of The next criminal matter in which Spring figured, was in a charge of a robbery committed at the house of a Mr. Hickson. in Centre street. Hickson had befriended Spring, and the ingrate plundered him in retvrn For the last | offence he was sentenced to an imprisonment of eight years and four months in Sing Sing. In the weantime, Mrs. Spring had died—publie opin- ion branded the unworthy husband as her murderer, but he never was tried upon the charge. At the time Spring was sent tothe New York penitentiary, his son Arthur, and three other children, all of whom were girls, went to | Washington, where they made their home with a sister | ther he pitied, and out of her own small m | Let him remember the | mysteries, and date long before his own professed faith | of Christianity had an existence. Priests themselves were the first actors of whom we have any record. They availed themselves of this method to impart religious in struction to the unlettered masses, who, unable to read or write, were only capable of receiving it orally, and made to comprehend its importance by the use of their ears and their eyos. That there are bad plays, as well as had sermons, none of us will deny; but as every good play has a good moral, what objection can be offered to a good moral sermon thus publicly pronounced by twenty capable orators, di- viding the labor, insteai of being preached by one; and, as sucht we look upon a good play, well acted, as uphold- ing virtue in all her true colors, and showing vice in all its hideous deformity. Is this a picture to fill the mind of the rising generation with gross licentiousness? Is not rather calculated to impress upon the mind of youth the necessity of pursuing the path o rectitude and honor, and avoiding that which must lead to shame and misery? A few short weeks have only elapsed «ince, under the gallows, the prisoner Saul openly declared, with the hal ter round his neck, that had he taken warning by what lhe had seem at the Bowery Theatre, in the performance of ‘Six Degrees of Crime.” he would never have stood where he did—addressing Mr. Clarke, long a favorite actor at that theatre. Yet the Key. Dr. Hatfield asserts, in the mild spirit of s Christian clergyman, that ‘could the history of the Bowery Theatre be written, what a bloody, dark, and dreadful history it would be in the history of mankind!”’ It is easy to say this, but even for a clergyman to avoueh it is 90 proof, and strong proof should surely be required before such a sweeping denunciation should be uttered in achureh built for the worship of God: but the theatre, in this reverend gentleman's opinion, is | built for the worship of the devil, whom, if for argument, | we allow to be ong patron saint, he is also the greatest friend of the parson.

In stone and brick buildings the ef- fect was greater and more threatening. Our villagers were every where aroused, and many rushed into the sing that his neighbor’s house was being overthrown by some violent explosion. In other places, in particular directions, the shock and reports seemed equally or more severe and terrific. Mr. in Wakefield, a candid in of undoubted veracity, living some six miles east of here, says that the shock threw several stones from his cellar wall. The whole occurrence was said to have been trul; fearful in that quarter. Neighbors rushed wildly to tant neighbors, to meet them in turn, seeking some friendly sympathy or protection. All coneurred in be- that some dire, impending evil threatened their sure destruction. What was it! is asked on every hand, to be answered in a thousand ways as diverse as the conceits of the ques- tioned. Was it an earthquake ? Was it a concussion of the atmosphere produced by some wild rushing meteor or comet? Was it the bursting of some wandering iero- lite in our midst? Was it—what was it? Nearly all concur in erage it an earthquake—a genuine, lona fide earthquake. What facts are at hand are given to sustain this. First, the noiso was clearly subterranean ; the motion of the earth; the absence, as all confirm, of any light or flash; no sudden barometric change. Same facts, however, would go to show there was sufficient disturbance or change in the atmosphere for dumb beasts to discover that something unusual was about to occur. The dogs barked and howled in the streets for some time previous, and those confined mani- fested the greatest uneasiness. It is possible, however, that the muttering was heard by them before it broke out loud enough to wake sleepers. As for the direetion in which the shock travelled, we are convinced it was from east to west. We have heard from different points from reliable sources, and find that at Remsen, Trenton, amd Holland Patent, nothing was experienced; Turin quite heavy, at Copenhagen quite heavy; at Watertown slight, at Adams heavy, and, if reports are correct, heavier than here. From these facts it would appear evident that the course of the—what- ever it was—was from east to west, or vice wrsa. The recise time of the occurrence of the phenomena was, by Lowville time, twenty-two minutes to three; by the time of the Principal of the Academy, lately adjusted by the Watertown time, a quarter-past two. Twice before, we are informed, bave similar pheno- tfena been observable here, though never anything as severe as this; one fifteen years ago We have also heard it stated there were two or throe slight shock felt subsequent to the grand shock on Friday night, at in- tervals of about five minutes. This is affirmed by those living east of here, though not discoverable in the village. Earthquake in Canada. We find the following in the St. Catharines (Canada) Journal :— Evident signs of an earthquake were felt on Sunday morning last, for several miles around this neighborhood. Just about five o'clock A. M. a heavy shock was felt, ac companied by a rumbling sound, as if hundreds of heavi- ly laden wagons were passing the street ; then followed three other shocks, which caused everything to tremble to its very centre.’ It was felt in the neighberhood of Grimsby, Jordan, Thorold, the Falls, Queenston, and Niagara.’ At Fort Mississaugua everthing reverberated again with the crash. The eause of this unaccountable freak of nature has not as yet been ascertained, but we have no doubt it has had its origin in the Niagara river, or some part of Lake Ontario adjacent to this neighbor: Naval Intelligence.

There had also been some trouble between Noble and a man named Josiah York, who broke up the dance by Cir ge he hia fingers and other noises.

As Noble was on the third hee York being about abreast of him, Noble sudden! 4 fell backwards on the floor of the cellar. As he fell, a flat iron thrown from above came down the stairs in the direction of Noble. York then disappeared. The watch was immediately summoned and the persons in the cellar were taken into oeeay as follows :—Michael Riley, keeper of the cellar; Mary Aun Riley; John Orb, a visiter in the cellar, and Ellen Murray. Noble, who was apparently insensible, was taken up and con- veyed to the North Watch House, where Drs. Clark and Ainsworth were in attendance.
