THE DESPATCHES FROM CAPT. HOLLINS RELATIVE TO THE SAN JUAN AFFAIR-——-NO TROUBLE WITH THE BRITISH CONSUL—THE FORKIGN APPOINT- MENTS—THK VOT AGAINST GEN. DIX AS SUB- TREASURER, ETC. Wasmmatox, April 3—9 P. M. Despatches have been received here from Captain Hol- lins, of the sloop-of-war Cyane, giving a detailed account of the proceedings at Sam Juan de Nicaragua. Instead of his baving interfered in violation of the wishes of the British Consul, directly the reverse appears to have been the case; and, {herefore, the statement that the Consul had despatched a messenger to the Belize, ordering to San Juan a Britich vessel of war, is all moonshine. According to Captain Hollins’ der patches, it appears that the Ameri cans attached to the Transit Company establishment, probably fearing the violence of the mob at Greytown, or Sun Juan, applied to the British Consul for pro- tection. That functionary told them that he could not interfere in behalf of American citizens, but advised them to apply to Captain Hollins, who was lying off the harbor with the Cyane. They accordingly did 50, and the captain then saw the British Consul, and, after con- sultation with him and the Americans, he adopted the necessary measures for the protection of the property. ItwIll thus be seon that the only important feature of the news—the probable difficulty with tho British au- thorities—is entirely unfounded in fact. As to the diffi- culties which the Transit Company appear to labor under, it is probable they will be adjusted upon the arrival of our new Minister in Central America. Our government will not, of course, uphold the company in any unjust position should they attempt to assume it; but it is very’ improbable that a mob will be permitted to take the law in its own hands in any event. If the Transit Company have rights they will be sustained, and if the Nicaraguan government have any complaints to make the grievances will be promptly redressed. 3 Mr. Joseph L. White, the counsel of the Transit Com. pany, arrived here this morning, and had a long inter- view with the President. There is a rumor in town from Mobile, stating thata conflict had taken place between the Devastation and Cyane. It is a humbug. Mr: Dickinson has not yet been heard from as to his acceptance of the Collectorship. It is understood that all the foreign nominations will be sent in this weck. The President does not desire to make the appointments during the recess, to be intrigued against and make difliculty next wintor; but as to who are to fill the important missions a remarkable ignorance prevails. Agood many guesses are made, but nothing reliable is known. It is said, indeed, that Secretary Marcy intends to try a change of air, and it is certain that he has made no arrangements to reside in Washing ton, not having even rented a house. Should he leave, Mr. Cushing will then assume the position which the country supposed he was to take when his name was first mentioned in connection with the cabinet. Such a change would add great strength to the administration. Mr. Buchanan will undoubtedly be offeced the mission to England. I have reason to believe none of the other ap pointments are definitely fixed. The following isa correct list of the Southern demo- erats who voted for Gen. Dix’s confirmation:—Messrs. Soulé, Houston, Sebastian, Bovland, Fitzpatrick Hunter, Adams, Mallory, and Bayard—all democrats. The eight nays were as follows :—Messrs. Bright of Ia., Brodhead of Pa , Rusk of Texas, Atchison of Mo., Mason of Va., Butler of §.C, J.B. Thompson of N. J.—all democrats—and Mr. Morton (whig) of Florida. Keo, MORE OF THE SAN JUAN DIFFICULTY—CAPT. HOL- LIS'S CONDUCT APPROVED—OUR CENTRAL AMBRI- CAN RELATIONS TO BE OVERHAULED—RUMOR OF A FIGHT BETWEEN TUE CYANK AND BRITISH WAR VESSEL, ETC. Wasinscrox, April 3—Midnight. Despatches have been received at the State Depart- ment from Capt. Hollir, by which the facts in regard to the reeont coup d'etat of the Cyane are fully disclosed. It appears that the so called town of San Juan is under the control of persons from all countries—ours among the Test—who have sworn allegiance to the Mosquito King. Our government does not recognise his red-skinned ma- jesty, and sinee the British protectorate has been aban- doned, the town reverts to the Nicaraguan government, onder which the American Transit Company have full power by their charter to retain possossion of the promi ses from which they were sought to be arbitrarily ejected. The Cyane was sent there to protect the rights and property of American citizens, and Capt. Hollis his done his duty—no more and no less. His course meets the unqualified. approval of General Pierce, and further. or- éers, of a similar tenor to those under which the Cyane has acted, will be forthwith despatched. The President will seize this opportunity to put our relations with Con- tral America, so fsras the Morquito King, the British protectorate and the municipality of San Juan are con- cerned, on @ well defined, explicit and permanent basi ‘The Cyene has made a good beginning. It will be sus- tained and followed out if necessary, for it is well under- stood that no other than a peremptory course is effectual inthat quarter. Great Britain cannot have ths face to demur, even if she were so inclined, because this method ofactirg Grst and negotiating afterwards is only parallel with her own policy in Central American affairs. ‘There is a rumor in the city to-night, which comes by the way of Charleston, that an engagement has taken Flace off San Juan between the Cyane and an English sloop of war, in which the latter was captured after a sharp contest, with serious loss on both sides. The story is discredited here, as the dates from San Juan, by steamer at New York, are more receut than could have been received at Charleston by any sailing vessel. _______ OBSERVER, Ulness of Judge Taney.

PRICE TWO CENTS. Father Gavazzi’s Lecture to the Italians. ‘The audience assembled last night in the s¢hool room of the Tabernacle was more numerous then on the former oceasions—the fame of the Father's eloquence having excited » general curiosity to hear-him. Father Gavarzi,on bis appearance, was greeted by varm op Plause and testimonials of sympathy and admiration, which were quelled by the Father out of respect for thie service to which was.going on over head. ‘The Italian Benevolent Society had postponed its usval meeting, 50 as not to Be Ceprived of the pleasure of hear: ing their gifted countryman, We understand that it is- the intention of the Italians resident in New York to’ give abanquet to Father Gavazzi previous to his leqving the city. In the meantime, if the enthusiasm goes on increasing at the rate it bas done during the last few days, he must find a larger reom. We hope to hear him in Metropolitan Hall, where his clear, melodious tones, will be heard to the groatest possible advantage, We are sure it would be full. The subject of the lecture tast evening was one most important to Protestants, and most interesting to Catholice— perhaps to Protestants it hada double inter- est, from showing them in what manner the Roman Catholic Church had accounted to the people for exclud- ing the Bible from their devotional studies. Father Gavawi commenced by reading the first chapter of St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. He then proceeded to say that the Apostle distinetly says that we are to work out our salvation by faith, and from faith to faith, and by our own works shall we be judged; and that our salvation is in no wise to depend on the practice of vain forms or ceremonies; nor is there any authority to pin our feithon the conscience of another. as the priests would inculeate—citing, as an example, that Italian wo- men, s0 often guilty of direliction of duty, and having a natural tendency toward superstition, are perfectly at peace with themselves when the priest has given them certain penances, long Prayers and fastings, though to accomplish these, they neglected their children and their homes. He then particularly ailuded to the Apostie having had a predilection for the Italiang, and justifies it by saying that he called the Romans saints and beloved of God. The Fatber then proceeded to say that the perversion and falsi- fying of the Scriptures—or rather their utter exclusion— leading enlightened people toa contempt of Romanism, had Jed them also to atheism; that it was impossible for man to accept a religion invented by man, but that man must feel that religion originated in inspiraation from a Divine power. Even the Pagans Plato and Numa Pom- pilius, both admirable legislators, when they had felt a religion to be necessary had feigned an inspiration from a divinity. Thus, men will not accept religion from the priests or the Pope—it is not the true religion; therefore those we have held sacred having through ages deceived us, we will have no religion—we wiil believe in nothing, hope nothing beyond this world; and thus it is that so many of the highest intellects in Italy aro skeptics and unbelievers. I, too, (said the Father,) be- lieve not in the lies of Rome. The aim of my life is to destroy them; but I would do as the Jews did when they built the temple—in one hund they held the trowel to construct, in the other the sword to destroy the enemies of the temple. So, whilst I ley the power of Romo in the dust and utterly break down its walls, I would erect a true religion—the religion of Christ and’ the Bible. The People, say the Papists, cannot comprehend the Bible. fas the Bible written for the priests, then? No, it was written for the lowly—the pvor as well as the rich, the ignorant as well as tho learned—therefore the people can understand it. It is degrading the people to keep them forever in subservience. The church of the Pope gives them salvation through itself slonc—for the power of the Pope is founded on the degradation of the people. At years of maturity we are bound to provide the food which nourishes us. Shall the hand of another lift it to our lips? Nay, that were degrading to our manhood. Then, why shall! we beg our spiritual food at, the gate of convents, or receive it from the hands of the priests. Christ has made us responsible agents, and, though the priests may take charge of our conscience on earth, at the tribunal of Hesven we alone can answer for our own actions. But how shall the priests teach us the religion of the Bible when they do not study it themselves? Not thirty in one hundred even have a bible, aad of those thirty not five study it, and of those five one perhaps understands it, How then sball the priests teach the Bible? They do not know. Study, then, the Bible, to control the priests, St. John pronouhces anathemas on all who shall add one word or take away one word from the Bible. Now, the Popes have done nothing but vio- late this direct commandment of God. They have made the Word of God subservient to the glorification of the cour- tezan of the seven hills. The Church of Rome makes the priests swear, when they are ordained, to believe in the traditions of the Church, and in the Bibie as interpreted by the council and the dignitaries of the Rot man Church. Now. no twocouncils and no two prissts ever agreed on the interpetation of the Bible. ‘The Pope is said to be the natural interpreter of the Dible. But, God says, that to be a worthy interpreter of his’ Word the life must be pure and holy. Look at the Popes. No annals, of any history, reveal such a tissue of vice anu debauchery ! A Formosa—Stefano—butch- ers and assassinates the four Johns under the yoke of modern Messalinas—the Borgias, or Gregory XIil., who had an equal taste for champagne and the téars of his people—are there the worthy representatives of St. Peter, or the interpreters of the Word of God? It. would Le tuo long to follow the Father through his eloquent and admirably reasoned arguments in favor of the study of the Bible, but we will come to his principal and concluding argument. Shall such a Pope as Pius IX., who, rwearing to maintain the liberties of Italy in one month, and entered into a league the next with Austaia, to confirm her slivery—a Pope who calumniated the heroixes of Italy, women of the noblest birth and till nobler conduet, angels who ministered to the sick and dying during the bombardment of Rome, calling them by the vilest names so familiar to the papal courts—he who accused the priests who did not shrink from their post as mongst whom at once as priest and as a soldier dsvazzi—of being hereties, and denying the rites of the Church to the dying—shali such a Pope in terpret the Bible? No; but for the political liberty of Italy wo must acquire a liberty of conscience—a freedom of religion. Our first effort to free Italy was in the name of Pius IX.—and for thic it failed, Now we must raise the standard, not in the name of on individual, but in the name of an holy and unerring principle—freedom and liberty of conscience. Let us not enter into the struggle fresh from the confession of a Jesuit with the fear of purgatory and hell before our ey with icliance on the faith of the Bible and the promises of God. The Jesuits make cowards—the Bible heroes. Light Reading. The Discourse of Dr. Hatfield, on the above subject, addressed to young people, and which was postponed from the ‘previous Sundoy, was delivered last evening at his church—the Seventh Presbyterian, corner of Ridge and Broome strects. In the formation of the character, he observed, the utmost attention should be given to the occupation of the thoughts; that for the most part gave shape to the opinions, plans and purposes; for, as a man thought, so was he. ‘There was an intimate connection between the understanding and the affections; and betwoen these twain and the will, were the whole governing faculties of the soul. The vacant mind, which seldom applied iteelf to intellectual pursuits, and never employed iteelf in severe thinking (whatever might be its original formation or capacity,) would never attain mental emineneé, or bring forth works of any value to . Thought was an exercise as necersary to the mind as was food and exercise to the body, and the mind should therefore not only be trained to think, but furnished with food for thought; too much attention could not be paid by thore who had the careof youth to turning their thoughts into proper channel. The utmost attention should be paid to the selection of teachers and in the for mation of friendships, for by these, and resorting to preachers and lecturers, the mind was to bo formed. By eonstantly dwelling om the pages of others, we made their thougnts our own—and the power of the press over individuals, and in tho aggregate over towns, cities nations, was illimitable. What we read must need make some impression upon us. ‘The child who had been brought up in the principles of an; seot of religion could nover in after lite eompletely obli- terate them, and by the constant reading of infidel works the mind must receive a bias from the books with which itbecame familiar. No subject could be more appropriate for remarks and advice than what was familiarly calod ‘ight reading.” “He ad Ueforo addressed them on the worldly fascinations and temptations which were set before the young; but these were all to be encoun- tored only In society: they coull not, however, be olways whirling in the dance, or enjoying the play or the ‘overa, (fascinations which palled on the senses and tastes when they became common), and the cares of busy life not being siificient for the young, when they could not go out into the world, they must bring the world to them. The printing press onabled them to live over again those scenes. If they could not go abroad, they could read and indulge in tho assiduous perural of tales of love, novels, and romances, To meet this derrand, the pens of genius liad long been devoted, and these productions far excoeded in number those o} all other departments of teratare. ‘They were not only in single volumos, but formed a large portion of all our periodicals, ‘This had been observed by writers in the eighteenth, and beginning of the present century,, since which beif a century had passed away, during which the arts bad advanced with prodigious strides, and now a thousand pages were printed where ‘one would then suffice.

The indulgence in this folly, which became a passion, much neglect o¥ that time which was always far too short for the work which was to be done. The mind was to be cultivated, the heart disciplined, the soul saved and God glorified. By an in pee in such read- ing, the mind became perfectly i : hetier ‘might the time be spent inthe wane history, science, arts or modern la st Could anything useful be learned from these tales of love and murder? They were never true por- traits of men, manners or human nature, ‘and dwelling upon them tended to am-undue developement of morbid sensibility, vitiated the taste, and enfeebled the intellect. The effect on the moral character was to in- flame the passions and tofamiliarise scenes all demoral- ining. He then cited some passages from Goldsmith and Dr. Miller, im support of his views, and concluded by ex horting the young to listen to the counsel of a friend. No one could have been more ardent’ in their love for such reading than he himself had been, but at fifteen ears of age he abjured the whole, and gave himself up iidy and useful purguite; ‘and if he had become useful as their minister, it was because by Divine Grace he had been ennéled to leave that course. He therefore knew what he spoke of. It was no day Cream. Be admo- nished, said he, in time; touch not the forbidden fruit— taste not—handle not.

Thomas De Witt, D.D., on the Spi- ritual Advantages of the Sabbath. The Rev. Thomas De Witt, D.D., last evening preached a very able sermon on the above subject, in the Reformed Duteh Church, Bleesker street, to a numerous congrega tion. The Rev. gentleman took for his text the 182d psalm, 223 28d and 24th verses, and said that the observence of the Sabbath was necessary to the moral and physical condi tion of man, and that it was the especial duty of parents to impress upon their children a proper regard for that holy day, which God had set apart for his worship and adoration, Criminals usually commenced their career by breaking the Sabbath, and ro man could be found who could pretend to morality or godliness, who desecrated the day which the Almighty had instituted for the spiritual consolation of those who worshipped him. Sir Matthew Hale endorsed this view, and bas Ini@ it down in his writings that no man could be a good man who did not strictly conform to @ Sabbath observance, Many instances might be qroted in which 4 non-observance of the Sabbath had led young men to ruin, andit was the duty of parents, who entertained a regard for the temporal and spiritual wel fare of their cffspring, to train them upin such a manner, by precept and example, that they would observe the Tord’s day. From a faithful observance of the Sabbath the most substantial blessings would follow, sim would be discarded, and the human race would enjoy happiness hitherto unknown. This country enjoyed many bless- ings from the unrestricted reading of the holy scripture as could be plainly observed by comparin; motal, and social condition with that of otber coun- tries ‘where the reading of God's word was re- tricted, and where, in consequence of such restric- tion, the Sabbath was invariably desecrated. Let us hold fast, perpetuate, and observe this bleased insti- tution, which will socure to us @ well balanced liberty, and keep the religion which God has vouchsafed to us pore and uncontaminated. If you were toexamine tho istory of the criminals now undergoing punishment for their ‘crimes in our State prisons, you would un- dovdtecly find, if they confessed honestly, that their ju- yeniic iniquity commenced with their desecration of that blessed day which the Lord had commanded us to keep holy; and bere I would again impress upon parents the imperious necessity of training up their children-in the way they should go, and inculcating upon them that God's blessing would not descend upon those who violated and abured that day which he in his commandments had directed to be kept sacred. Therefore, dearly beloved bretbren, cling to it, cherish it, and observe it, and let us bear in mind that. however pure our lives, howovor sincere our devotion, however unlimited our charity to the needy and suffering, if we do not obey the command. ment which God has ‘thought fit in his wisdom and mercy to impose upon us, we fall into the snare of the enemy of mankind, by prostituting to ordinary and world- ly pursuits that Sabbath which God in his infinite wis- dom has designed that men should keep pure and uncon- taminated by earthly pursuits. Kespect the Sabbath, and our-country will’be prosperous and happy—negiect: it, and there will necessarily be an end to the popular and free institutions which are our boast and the envy of the world. Respect the Sabbath, and inestimable blessings will follow—neglect it, and desolation and ruin will over spread our faif land, and in the place of law, order and domestic happiness, which have reached to the climax of yerfeetion in this country, rnin and desolation will stalk Droadcast over the land, her happy, City Intelligence. ‘Tum WrATHER.—A very disogreeable change took place in the weather yesterday, From an early hour in the morning the wind blew from the east, which rendered the entire cay a cold and dark one, The rain, however, id not begin to fall until about six o'clock last oventng, which will relieve the inbabitants of the city very much, ax the dust will, fora few days at least, be allayed, which will enable them to breathe the pure air once more, OTws 18 4 SoRRY SicHr!"—As one of our reporters was passing up Broadway last evening, at eight o'clock, his attention was attracted by a group of persons at the corner of Breadway and Reade street.

The Diario says:— In Guatemala, by date of 5th March, the bitter com- tests with Honduras continued, and: General Carrera, with a considerable force, was occupying the frontier de- partment of Chiquimala. Alt#®iugh the tone of the doeu- ment published is warlike, still we do not believe that war will take place, owing to the weakness of Honduras. On the whole, we may be assured that tranquillity reigna, by which also progress the material improvements te which the conservative government has so laudably de voted itself. ‘The Chambers have closed their seasions, having passed vatlous interesting bills, among which was one which. declares null and void—as they were already dejure—the concessions made to the Belgian Company of St. Thomas, by the contracts celebrated on the 4th of May, 1842, an@ 14th October, 1843, In the city of Guatemala considerable earthquakes hat been experienced during the month of February.

By the arrival of the brig Robert Wing we have re- ceived intelligence from Buenos Ayres to the 18th of Feb- ruary, from which we learn tbat there had been no par+ ticular change so far as the revolution was concerned. Captain Crowell informs us that the French Admiral, who was authorized to effect an armistice with Urquiza, had been unsuccessful. Considerable fighting had recently taken place, in which Urquiza’s forees wore generally the gainers. Among the Unitarians a strong disposition was manifested to entirely overthrow the insurgents.
