One day's good earnest work for retrenchment and reform will settle the question. as we verily believe, by an over- whelming majority. Give us those amendments to our city charter, ard most of the numerous leakages of our city treasury will be stopped, and our corporate authorities will be placed under the wholesome restraint@and penalties of sound discipline, to a much grater extent than the most sanguine reformer could have hoped for six months ago. Thus the corruptions for which our city fathers have become so noto- rious, may result in the greatest advantages to the whole community. Let Mr. Flagg be sustained today by the voice of every ward in the city. Give us a limit to our taxations and pen New York to the working man as a place of reddence. The work of his expulsion to Long Island, Connecticut, up the Hudson, and over to New Jersey, has been going on long enough. Do something to-day, that will invite the bone and sinew of our population to live among ue. The whole community, the city and the State, will be the gainers by it. Give us the new charter. Let every friend of the cause. however eonfident of success, east his vote for the new charter. The larger the majority the better. and there may be a stronger opposition to the charter than many are prepared for. Be- ware of illegal voting. and the penalty of one hundred dollars against all violations of the elective franchise. Give us a clean, full, over- whelming vote for the new charter. We trust that the enthusiastic meetings of Saturday night and last evening, will be duly ratified to- day, in the ratification of the new charter. The new charter is the word. Give us the new charter. The News The chief feature of the week's later European mews, received by the Canada, at Haliiax, is the fact that both houses of Parliament were notified on the 28th ult., that the British and French govern- ments were acting in concert with regard to the Turkish difficulty with Russia, and that the integrity of the Porte would mest certainly be maintained. Some intimation of the same kind appears to have been given to the Russian Ambassador by Louis Napoleon, and the consequense was a tremendous excitementon the Paris Bourse. The Austrian Charge has with- drawn from Switzerland, and diplomatic negotiations have been suspended. Mrs. Stowe is still being feted by the abolitionists in London; Mazzini has re- turned to England, and the Pope is reported to have been experimenting in spiritual rapperism. The Liverpool cotton market was firm, with an upward tendency, and breadstuffs and provisions had ad- vanced in price. Sixteen days later intelligence from California has been received by the arrival of the steamer Daniel Webster at New Orleans. Our telegraphic synop- sis of the news is necessarily brief, owing to the fact that the D. W. brought but one paper. The advices came through from San Francisco to this city in a little over twenty and a half days. The accounts from the mining regions are highly favorable. It is reported that some new diggings had been dis- covered, where lamps worth from three to nine hun dred dollars were picked up. The Prometheus sail ed from San Juan on the Sist ult., and may there- fore be expected to arrive here, with the details of the California news, either this evening or early to- morrow. King Kamehameha, of the Sandwich Islands, hus named his son Lihoips, as his successor. The members of the Legislature retarned to the scene of their duties last evening, but only some thirty of them made their appearance in the Assem- bly chamber and six or eight in the Senate; conse- quently no business was transacted in either house. Having travelled over six hundred miles, and an- nexed Capada—see our special despatch—since Sa- tarday rhorning, the majority of them were of course very much fatigued. It is hoped that they will arise greatly refreshed this morning, and repair to their respective halls with the full determination of settling the canal and all other questions, and re- tiring to their homes as speedily as possible. We learn from Washington that the friends of the liquor license system were defeated at the election which took place yesterday. President Pierce presided at the adjourned meet- ing of the Smithsonian Institution yesterday. The only buNness mentioned as having been transacted was the evection of Prof. Parker Cleaveland as an honorary meXuber, after which the meeting adjourned sme die, ‘The election ‘or municipal officers in New Haven yesterday, was the first that has taken place for many ears wherela_the qcadidates were yoted for upog purely party grounds. The whigs elected the Mayor, and nearly all the aldermen and coancilmen. The Ismite Convention at Hartford, appears to have broken up in a grand row late on Sunday night. Our reporter has elsewhere furnished # graphic de- scription of the closing proceedings. As none of the resolutions introduced were adopted, these believers and disbelievers§in any and everything} have ae nour ced their determination of holding another con- vention somewhere in New England, before a great while. Dates from |Havana to the 2d inst., have been re- ceived by the arrival of the steamer Cherdkee at New Orleans. There was zo news worth telegraph- ing. A large ‘number of melancholy disasters are re- corded by} telegraph as having recently eccurred in different parts of the country.;,The house of Mr. Hildreth, at Kenosha, Wis., was set on fire by light. ning on the 2d in«t,, and Mrs. H. perished in the flames. A log of wood got fast in one of the wheels of the steamer Winslow, at Louisville, last Saturday, and in attempting to remove it seren of the crew were drowned. Rev. Ira’S. Watkins and Ethan Clark were drowned by, the upeetttag of a sailboat in the Mohawk river, on Saturday. The crops in Dauphin, Columbia and Lancaster, Pa., are saidto have been seriously damaged by the hail storm on Friday night. Wm. Dearing, the proprietor of the first’ cotton fac- tory in Georgia, died at Savannah last Friday. Notwithstanding any apprehensions that may have been created in the minds of our city council- men, by the reform meeting in front of the City Hall last evening, both branches of the municipal legislature managed to transact considerable busi- ness, as will be seen by the official reports of their proceedings elsewhere. Among the numerous pe- titions presented to the Board of Aldermen was one asking to have the principal streets—why not the by: streets also ?—leading to the Crystal Palace, kept clean, and tippling in the neighborhood abolished. The city pavers and policemen sent in petitions for an increase of compensation. A resolution was adopted by both boards, ordering the slip between Catharine and Oliver streets to be cleaned without delay. The Comptroller was requested to give infor- mation relative to the lease of the Catharine street ferry in 1846, what had been done with the boats on said line, &c. The Assistants concurred in the resolution to donate five hundred dollars to the Mag- dalen Benevolent Society. Both bodies adjourned till to-morrow evening. The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Broadway Baptist Church, took place before a large and respectable concourse of people yesterday after noon, at five o'clock. For an interesting account of the ceremonies see another column. An application for an injunction was yesterday madein the Supreme Court, special term, in Brook- lyn, to restrain Mrs. Cooper from taking the little negro, Jane Trainer, without the jurisdiction of the court during the pendency of the trial against Mrs. C. Counsel for both parties having been heard, Judge Barculo concluded to examine the papers and render his decision this morning. The millinery case is still exciting considerable at. tention in Williamsburg. We elsewhere publish a detailed report of the third day’s investigation. Our Second Boundary Dispuie with Mexico— ‘Wanrlike Tone of the Washington Organ. There is a speck of war on the verge of our Southern horizon. It hangs over the disputed territory of the Mesilla district. andis becoming strikingly distinguishable to the naked eye. To such of our readers as are still incredulous, we submit the article which we republish this morn- ing from the Washington Union. lately adopted as the organ of the administration. This official pronuneiamento, although but an echo of that which appeared in the Heraup on Saturday, discloses the policy of Gen. Pierce, especting this disputed territory. with that characteristic frankness for which he has ever been distinguished. True, it is admitted that Mexico is weak. distracted, utterly broken down, and wholly at our mercy ; and that inall our dealings with her, our conduet should be marked by the saving virtues of pity, forbearance and neighborly magnanimity ; but these concessions are overshadowed by the palpable issue of war, which is raised, and which is left to the decision of that reckless and implacable enemy of the United States, General Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. It is declared that the act of Gov. Trias in marching his troops into the dis- puted territory. to hold it. by force of arms, as the rightful soil of Chihuahua—one of the States of the Mexican republic—is an act of “insolence and folly;” and. notwithstanding the fact that Mexico is utterly helpless and wholly at our mercy, this act of military occupation of “ American soil” cannot be tolerated by the government of the United States. It quite out- strips the limits of all reasonable forbearance and commiseration. The troops of Gov. Trias must be withdrawn from the disputed district, or there may be another war “by the act of Mexico.” Such is the easy interpretation of the government pronunciamento from Washing- ton. There are, however, some necessary pre- liminaries yet to be interchanged between the two governments before the perilous movement of Gov. Trias can be brought to a casus belli. Gen. Almonte has been appointed as the repre- sentative of Santa Anna near our government. the identical Mexican Minister who so indig- nantly left Washington upon the consummation of the annexation of Texas; while, on our part, Gen. Gadsden, of South Carolina, an able and distinguished man, but still a “ fire eater.” a Southern ultra, is duly commissioned as pleni- potentiary to Mexico. Each of these ministers will be charged with the policy of his govern- ment. What may be the character of the instrue- sions to Almonte we can only conjecture from the general course of the Mexican Dictator since his return to power ; and. judging from his various decrees awarding honors to or de- nouncing penalties against the Mexican officers and soldiers of the late war, and from his con- sistent reiteration of his resolution to maintain the integrity of the soil of Mexico, at all ha- zards, we should say that he will instruct Almonte to insist upon the recognition of the boundary line of Commissioner Bartlett. and upon failing to secure it, to return home, and report accordingly. But it is probable that the first duties assigned to Almonte will be to await and watch the movements of our own government, rather than to assume the initia- live upon this boundary matier, or upon any other of the several pending embarrass- ments between the countries. The instructions to General Gadsden, upon the boundary question, are, we presume, fore- shadowed in the article we give to-day from the Washington Union. According to this should Governor Trias be in military occupa- tion of the disputed district, or still upon the march, or preparing to march to such occu- pation, General Gadsden, after his arrival in Mexico, will ask of Santa Auna an order countermanding such military occupation or invasion, as the first indispensable condition to peaceful negotiations. But if the reck- less patriotism of Governor Trias is not arrested in the meantime, it will be- come manifest that he has acted. not upon his oWn diceretion, but upon the authority of the ‘Dictator himself, in this military movement into ‘the disputed territory. In that case Santa ~Anna’s answer may be anticipated. Relying perhaps too confidently upon the support of cer- tain European powers, in the event of another collision with this country, he may not only de- cline to yield the neutrality of the Mesilla Valley, but he may possibly make its surrender to Mexico his first requisition and his ultimatum. The whole issue of peace or war depends upon the temper of the two parties; and while we are rather apprehensive that our administration is not averse to military glory, nor disposed to resist the temptations of “manifest destiny,” we cannot dismiss the suspicion that Santa Anna is resolved to maintain his position at home at the risk of another war with the United States. Or, if it be his object only to rally the Mexican people to his support, in assuming his present attitude of hostility to this country and the Anglo Saxon race, he may play the dema- gogue too far, and be compelled to drift with the current when he can no longer control it. But, even conceding that the policy of peace is the desire of General Pierce, and that the warlike manifestos of Santa Anna amount to nothing, it is still to be feared that there may be a collision between the troops of Governor Trias and the troops of General Garland, in the disputed territory. They may both occupy the said territory without coming to blows ; but the march of General Taylor to the disputed boundary of the Rio Grande, in 1846, affords no guarantee of an amicable joint military occu- pation; nor does it give us any assurance that the shedding of “ American blood on American soil” may be perpetrated without involving a formal declaration of war. To sum up our conclusions—taking it tor granted that Governor Trias has marched to occupy the disputed territory, we suspect that he has acted under Santa Anna’s authority. We fear, therefore, and considering all the declarations and circumstances attending the Dictator’s return to his capital, that he is not disposed to a pacific policy towards the United States—that he counts upon the support of England, or France, or Spain, in the event of another war. and is working industriously to effect an alljance on the one hand and a rupture on the other. The inclinations of our government are foreshadowed by the Washington organ. Our Cabinet are disposed to be generous and merciful. but they are also alive to the duties of “progress” and “ mani- fest destiny.” An act, which is pronounced an act of ‘‘insolence and folly,” may possibly in- volve the necessity of thrusting Mexico to the wall. Ina word, there is a good pretext, a fa- vorable conjuncture of events. and an encour- aging disposition on both sides, for another war between the United States aud Mexico. Pre- pare arms. ‘The Industrial Classes of New York—Their Condiuon, &e.—The Straw Sewers. In another part of to-day’s Henatp our read- ers, will find the first of a series ot articles which we intend publishing from time to time, on the industrial classes of New York, giving a plain and impartial account of their condition, and avoiding anything that may have a tendency to create ill feeling between them and their employers. Nothing tends more to the injury of the true interests of the mechanic or the workwomen than those exaggerated statements and fanciful accounts which have been present- ed to the public heretofore. It is, therefore, our design to describe their condition as it real- ly is, and to state facts and things as we find them. We need not tell ourrcaders that we are no theorists, or that we have never engaged in any of the wars that have been waged against capital. We believe that without the capitalist and the manufacturer the civilized and refined society of the nineteenth century could not ex- ist, and we have always, therefore, steadily op- posed the advancement of any theories which taught that property was robbery, and that the interests of the capitalist were inimical to those of the laborer. We are fully aware that many of the difficulties under which a portion of the working classes—and we are glad to say a very small portion—are struggling, arise not from the oppression of capital, but from the competition which the public itself creates, by demanding the products of labor at the lowest possible price. While we are willing to admit that there are some unprincipled employers, we know that they are exceedingly limited in number, and that in no other country on the face of the earth does the laborer or mechanic re- ceive a larger compensation for his toil. The fault, therefore, does not lie with the capitalists, but with the public, and too often with the workers themselves; who, by allowing theorists and designing demagogues to lead them in any movement started for their benefit. prejudice their cause in the eyes of the public. False sympathies are too frequently excited in be- half of the working classes, who, we know, are in a better condition than is really represented; but where they are actually suffering from the injustice of employers, there are none more willing than we are to aid them by legal and reasonable means, in the enforcement of their rights to a fair compensation for their labor. In regard to the workwomen, with an ac- count of whom we commence our history of the industrial classes, we desire to say a few words We preface our extended notice of the straw sewers with a description of the movement among the needle women of New York, toshow the evil results of such injudicious attempts to coerce employers into paying more than they either consider an exhorbitant rate of wages or than they are willing to give. No reasonable person can object to the organization of socie- ties for the benefit of the working women. as well as the mechonic; but when those societies, instead of pursuing a steady, peaceful course, allow strong-minded women and scheming poli- ticians to step in and rule them, then they de- serve the censure of the honest and independent public press. We are not of that class which is continually ranting about the few oc- cupations that are open to female labor, for we know, and ghall prove here- after by facts, that there are nearly as many jn which they are at present employed asare filled by men, and that they are constantly crowding into those in which men only should be engaged. It is likewise true. that there are a few in which men are employed that are bet- ter suited for women, and we sympathize cor- dially with the latter when they exclaim against the usurpation. Each is equally guilty of injustice to the other ; but there is one dif- ference which should not be forgotten: where female labor is substituted for male labor the compensation is reduced nearly one half, while men employed in any business which should be transacted by women alone, are paid higher wages. We hope that hereafter, women, in- stead of forging themselves into the depart- ments of labor whieh should belong exclusively to the opposite sex, will be content with those avenues which are already open to them, and thoee which are now improperly filled by men, but for which they are better adapted by nature. Tue River Man. BETWEEN LovIsvVILLE AND New Or.eanxs.—The statements witich have been published with regard to the newly or- ganized mail route between Louisville and New Orleans, by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, arc, we understand, incorrect in several particulars. The route was advertised for twice daily service, by the department, some months ago, for an express mail line touching at the more important offices, and a way line supplying all the intermediate offices. The lowest bid for the whole service was that of Glover & Mather, at $450,000 per annum. It was alleged by many persons that the adver- tisement provided for much more service than was required by the wants of the country through which the route was established. The subject was a long time before the department without being settled, when the present Post- master General, Judge Campbell, came into office, and being satisfied of the fact that the expenditure called for under the advertisement was greater than necessary. so modified the acceptance as to dispense with the way mail between Cairo, Illinois, and St. Francisville, Louisiana, saving 864 miles of way mail trans- portation, and of $152,025 per annum in money. Had the acceptance stood as originally made, $608.100 would have been expended during the term of four years, without any corresponding benefit to the country ConeresstonaL Orrice Becarnc.—We learn from Washington, that a large number of mem- bers of Congress are still there, boring for petty clerkships in the departments, for their rela- tives and friends. Asa mere matter of friend- ehip to those they are seeking to have appointed, it is hoped they will not succeed. It is a mise- rable life for any man capable of earning a liv- ing in any other way. The salaries are not suf ficient to support families in Washington, unless with the most painfuleconomy. In a few years a clerk finds himselt suddenly removed. by the process of “rotation’”—the same by which he himself obtained office—without money, often- times in debt. The monotonous vegetation of his official existence has disqualified him for more vigorous pursuits, and yet, under all these disadvantages. he is obliged, at a mo- ment’s notice, to begin life again. But we simply desire to notice the fact that so many members of Congress are fighting for those very petty “ spoils” at present, and to suggest that it is scarcely for such duties they were elected by the people. They degrade their position,and lower their personal influence, by such unremitting office begging. Talk on ’Change. Cotton was steady, with sales of 1,000 bales, There was no change of moment in other articles of produce. At about the close of *Change yesterday, Col. James Lee, one of cur weil known merchants, ascended a stand in the rotunda, and briefly addreseed those present, and expecially the merchants, and wished them to go forward in the work of reform. He urged them, by every consider- ation of duty, to attend the pclls early, and to cast their votes for the charter. Opporition was active, and it was to be met and triumphantly defeated. It was difficult to hear in the Exchange, and we could only gether « few sentences from the earnest and eloquent appeal of the Colinel. After the conclusion of his remarks he was loudly applauded. It was stated tous, on the most reliable authority, that apumber of leading merchants, including, chiefly, ship owzers and agents, had commenced @ suit against the late Collector, Hugh Maxell, #sq., for the recovery of iMlegal exactions, which, it was seid, had been going on fer several years. The aggregate amount of the restitu- tion claimed was said to be very large, and that very lit- tle doubt way expressed by the able counsel employed but foll recovery would be had. If successful against Mr. Maxwell, such of his predecessors as were living and were solvent, and who bad aoproved of similar illegal exac- ticns, would be proceeded against. The merchants, as a body, and particularly those engaged in the shipping business, had formed a resolution to resist all illegal practices, whether ema- nating from officers cf the Custom House, or else- where. They yielded to none, ia their respect for and obedienee to the laws; but when they had complied fully with their requirements, there they intended to stop. Abuses, however small when first commenced, or how. ever apparently trifling at first, in individual cases, if not resisted, were liable to be expanded into monstrous op- pressions. This had been the case in England, where mere trifies, at first. inc urse of time had become tyran- nical and oppressive, being established under the conve- nient subterfuge for all iliegal exactions— precedence. Be it farthings or pounde, the first question to ask was, is it legal? If not, then it should be resisted, as a duty to others, of well as to ore’s celf. Busivess men were still as much in the dark about the assay office in this city as the gentleman was who wished to know ‘who struck Billy Patterson.’ The last heard about it was, that Mr. Rcbert Patterson, ef Philadelphia, a son of the excellent late Director of the Mint, Dr. Robe: Patterson, bad been appointed to locate the office, and to make all preliminary arrangements for putting it into operation; but this had since been contradicted, and mat- ters continued in deub' Marine Affairs. For CauronviA.—The mail steamship Georgis, and the steamship Union, left port yesterday for Aspinwall, with passengers for Callfornia, The Williamsburg Millinery Case. THIRD DAY. Fxamination of Miss Irabelle Boyd continued Mra. Boyd did not come from New York to this place im- mediately after she gave up keeping store; it was something like five or six years after; she had not kept any millinery «tore during that time; she employed about five hands in the store at the time of this occurrence; the girls worked in the room back of the store; there was a partition dividing that room from the store; the door leading fram the workroom to the store was not quite in the centre; the door swung into the beck room; it was generally open; it would swing clear back; it swung down Grand street; ‘the girls that worked in the back roota had a general positim where they worked; they bad their faces toward the store doer; they worked at a table whch was set in the middle of the room; the girls ast around thattable, with their faces toward the store door, their becks to the window; the door was not as wide as the store door: it was a dcuble frame door; I suppose the size of the door is about that of the other doors in the house; the front door was a double door, ore part switging one way and the other the other; it was parted about in the middle ; it is not #0 now; it wae altered last Tuesday morning ; I ruppose you would like me to tell you why it was altered; if so, Iwill tell you; Mra. Boyd returned sgain into the store after she left it on Tuesday at the time in question; 1 went into the back room once when I went in 10 coun the expense of the bonnets; Ido not wish to answer all there questions again; { won’t answer them again. (The Judge instructed her to go on and answer.) She conti- nned. T came back into the store; I don’t know whether Mrs. B. came out with me; I did return with her (Mrs. B:) it after I returned from secertaining the cost of the materials that (told the girls they could have the bo: nets for two dollars. (Here the witness again declared « would not answer the questions over again. The Jad instructed ber to answer them. She proceeded.) It was after Mrr. Boyd had reckcned up the cost of the bonnets that she ordered the girls to leave the store; it was after the cost of the bonnets had been ascertained that the girla sat down; after Mra. Boyd ordered the girls out I do not recollect that sbe went into the back roon at all be. fore she calied her husband up; I would like to know how much longer you intend to keep me? (Mr. Deans, the cour sel for the plaintiff, raid :—You hye not been’ long here, ¥adem, but I will keep you uatil I get the whole truth out of you in this case She continued—I do not re- collect that Mrs. Boyd bad ordered the girls out before she told them to come in the back room if they wished to see ber; the did not tell them to clear out while she was in ‘the back room; Mra, Boyd came out after she told the girls to come into the back room if they wished to see her, and ordered them out of the store; I do not recollect that she went back into the room again after ordaring them out; Mre. Boyd spoke quietly at first, but after nee- ing the bonnets rhe did not rpeak very quietly; she did bot appear to beangry: when Miss Hall told Mr: Boyd she would rave him the trouble he was going toward her; the oor was ajar; the was in behind the door; the door war about halfway open: Miss Hall bed pushed tt to by going ‘n Debind:; the girls were standing by the counter when Mr. Boyd came up stairs; when he came in Miss Hail was behind the door; I think I was nearest the girls when Mr. B. came up. Caroline Mealy axorn—I in the baek room of th store before the girls came in on Tuesday afternoon; Miss Irabelia Boyd was in the store when the girls came in, when they came in Miss B. ealled Mra, foyd: when the £5 came in with the work Mrs. Boyd stepped to the door and said, “‘ why, certainly, girls, you not got the two bonnets ia that small ‘box?’ when Mra.

Boyd was Srna ‘® bonnet for me at the time, and walking in and out of thestore ; they took chairs sat near the stoer door along time ; said they could bring some one who could say Mrs. B. had cheated them while sittirg at the door; they eat there and [ heard them speak to Miss Boyd, but I do not know what they said to her ; 1 sat there about an hour and then passed out of the door and left them sitting at the door; I did not hear any thing they said to Mise Boyd.

The Court here adjourned until this evening a 7 o'clock, s ef 5 i 288 8s Laying of the Corner Stone of the Broadway Baptist Church, in Twenty-third street. The ceremony of laying the corner stone of this church, the congregation of which formerly worshipped in Hops Chapel, tock place before s large arsemblage yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock. Several clergymen belonging to the Baptist percussion were present, as well as a large number of ladies. The ceremonies commevced with singing the 766th hymn; after which the pastor, the Rov. Mr. Gelett read a portion of the Scriptures, from the Book of Paalms. The Rey. Mr. Jackson then offered up an eloquent prayer, beseeching God to pour down his richest bless. ings on the congregation assembled. The 787th bymn was then sung by those assembled. ‘The Rev, Mr. Taccarr, of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, being introduced to those assembled, proceeded to deliver an address. He began by saying that he appeared there by the call of their pastor and his people, with whom he was long acquainted, He came not there with a written speech, but to make a few encouraging remarks to the coogrega- tion, who were entitled to the groatet praise for their zeal in building the edifice which they were then stund- ing in The place designed for the church was a good and proper one; for where should light houses be laced but in dangerous places. In that neighborhood Satan unfurled his banner and lured thousands to destruc- tion. He then referred back to the time when this coun- try was first colonized, when churches were made of logs, not like thoe which at | staagad adorned the city and country. They should bless God for enabling them to erect grand aod glorious buildings for the worship of God They should not think that money expended in Dutlding expensive sanctuaries was lost, fpr, ia a worldly point of view, it was a great acvantage to the comunity, as property rose by the erection of thove holy edifices. The thovale of tbe people were greatly benefitied by the construction of religious institutions. They shoul never have their hooks’ so large that they could not catch small fishes, They should never be too anx- ious to cateh the big fihes; but if they wished to come into their blessed sanctuaries they would be always weleomed, He conclued by exhorting God to bless them in their endeavors to erect s sanctuary for the wor- ship of the Almighty. ‘The Rey. Mr. Gxirrr then read a portion of the Scrip tures. Rey, Mr. MAGoon then addreseed the acsemblage. Ho reid that there waa a time when Christiaas worshiopsd God ut the peril of their lives, in the caves and cata- combs of Rome. They were offered up at the whim of the Remane as a sacrifice to the gods, or to be the aport of the multitude in the arena, fighting with wild animals There was nothing more iuspiring, next to the cross of Christ than the holy architectural buildings of God. Hs weuld rather spend one day in some of the old churches of Izeland, Scotland, or on ithe continent, than listeu to a dozen sermons. They could not stand without their heads uncovered in thoee holy and ancient edifices. Pesutiful associations were connected with those antique buildings, whore corner stones were laid some seven hua- dred years ago. , There were no new building models since the year 1400. | The Crystal Palace, which is supposed to bea new model, is nothing more than a bad model of the styles of that pericd. The congregation then sung the 15th hymn, after whieh the pastor proceeded to lay the corner etone of the building, in which was deposited a box containing the following articles :— ‘A copy of the Bible.
