——eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeTT{lm_e_Q$QW@eaee__e_eee___eeeee ‘The Book of Job. LECTURE ON THE SAC#¥D "OBTRY OF THE HEBREWS, BY THE REV. DR RAPHALL. The Rey. Dr. Rapball delivered a lecture last night, at the Broadway Yabernacle, on the Book of Job, being one of the course on the sacred poetry of the Hebrews. Owing to the unfavorable weather, | the audience was very limited. The lecturer began by reminding his hearers that at the close of his | tormer lecture he bad told them that every circu2- stance connected wita the Book of Job was subject | to so much uncertainty, and had given rise to so much difference of cpinion among the learned, that apy inquiries into the history and character of Job and his book generally began with ‘I do not kaow,” and ended with “I cavnot tell.” He himself could ‘only do as his predecessors in the task of expound. ing the book had done, namely—offer conjectures and probabilities; some of them, however, so strong | as almost to amount to certainties. With respect to Job himself, the lecturer mentioned three opinions— the one which denies te historical existence of Job, and maintains bis beivg a purely allegorical cha- racter; the second, which identifies him with Jethro, the father in-law of Moses; and the third, that of the Septuagents, which identifies him with Jobab, second King of Edom. In examining these three opinions, the lecturer altogether rejected the first, proving clearly that Job was an actual historical personage. Without absolutely adopting either of the two other opinions, the lesturer coincided with them so far as to assume that Job was not an Israelite; and after an elaborate examination he arrived at the conclusion that Job lived some time after the death of the patriarchs Javob and Joseph, io the land of Edom, about three thousand five hundred years ago. With respect to the authorship of the book, which some assigned to Moses, others to Solomon, and others to some unkso vn author, as late as the Baby- jonish captivity, the lectarer maintained, trom in- trinsic evidence turnished by \he book itself, that it must have been written prior to the giving of the law; aud being of that extreme antiquity, the book Migut, perhaps, have been written oy Job him- selt. But said the lecturer, whoever be may be, you will best know bun by the imperishable monuwent he bas raised to himself i. his book, the plan and par of which the lecturer next proceeded to discuss. ali ages the Gispeosations of Providence, the an- Phe de sufferings of the just, the unmerited pros- perity of the wicked, have b-en a source of deep and anxious meditation to the best and wisest of men. ‘Their limited faculties have undertaken the imprac- ticable task of scannivg the counsels of Omniscence. It seems that one of the first uses man made of the discovery that he was gifted with reason, was to search into the why aud wherefore of eveuts that to him must ever remate unfathomable. This truth, then, the certainty that the ways of Providence, though always most just, most wise, and most bene- ficent, are to us ut'erly iuseratable, and that all our efforts to scan them, or & lay down rules for the con- dact of Omnipotence, sre vain and futile—this is the moral lesson which our eutnor intends to inculcate. In order to do this in the most forcible manner, he introduces to us a munof the greatest worth and virtue, to whom the Searcher of ail Hearts, himself, gives the charaster of being esa “upright, fear- ing God und eschewing evil.” This man he shows us surrounded by 4 family of hopetul sonsaad bloom- ing daughters, in puss s-ion of great weaith and boundless influence, aud masking the nobjest uses of the blessings bestowed upon him. Yet of s sudden, by aseries of events which vo prudence or care of his could have averted, be becomes deprived not ouly of his wealth, but of what was dearer fur to him, his children, and eveutually affected with a disease so painful, so loathsome, as to 2€ ab once insupporta- bie to himself and di-gustipg to others, This man, thus great in his sufferings, and in the resignation with which be subaits to them, the author repree sents to us as stijl possessed of two sources of conso- lation—the consciousness of his own rectitude, and the affection of tried friends. But these friends he is in danger of losiug, in consequence of his pert'na cious assertion of his ivtegrity, which is questioned in the most pitiless manner. “Men of whose moral wort aud religious priuciples Job is perfectly con- vinced, and who, moreover, maistain the universally received opinion of tneir age, cannot bel'eve it possi- ble that he should have been exposed te his many, sudden, and unexampled ufflictious, ualess his owa misdeeds bad brought these afflictions upon him, a3 a merited punishment of his secret, bus most heinous i a from his atte guilt—frem these attempts arises an investigation of the most sublime tenth, condvcted with the greatest zeal, ability, and elo- quence, iu which each of the speakers, founding his argumenis on the axiom that dive Providence is no; less wise and good than mighty and just, labors to enforce his own views. At length the interposi tion to the deity puts au and to the debate, pointing out to Job his mistake in arraigniag, and to the friends their error of priuciple in vindicating the wae of Providence, aud proving to ail the utter in- sufficiency of all attempts brivg diviae protection before the bar of human reason. Iu addition to this, and, as it were, inciden ‘ally, the author wishes clear- ly to prove the freedom of humun will, and the gth which a cle#r conscience imparts to the mind,even under cirsumstances the most trying, and when extreme misery is fast hurrying the suffer- er to despair. Such oving the plau of the author, he ha@ the choice of two methods for treating the sub- ject. He might have adopted a narrative style, his- toric in prose, or didactic in verse; or he might, as he actually did, have Axed on a dramatic style. In referring the latter, however, he proved himself a3 ly acquainted with the inmost recesses ot the hu- man min4, its secret working, aad the influence of sympathy. asia the work itself ; he appears con- versant with the most sublime of trutus, the most profourd of mysteries. Ludeed, so very wonderful is the conception, so true the moral, and so pertect the execution of his plan, that we are ob.ized to own the master mind which tramed this book must bave been divinely inspired; as without such inspiration, he could not have proceeded or succeeded as he did. The work was intended not for the good and wise only, but for all men. The great mass, however, is too volatile, too trifling, too much addicted to the jeasures and subjec. to the cares of the moment, to pestow their intense attention forany length of time on matters so abstruse as those contained in this book, unless indeed toe author has found the key to unlock the'r sympathies, aud to foree them, as it were, to identify themselves with his subject. That | key isthe particular style of composition which he | employs, and which enebles him to pourtray to us the workings of the most different passions and affec- tions of the mind; and as our owa natural temper, inclines us towards one or other of the various ways of thinking with which he bas endowed his per- sovag:s, he leads us to feel as they did; if we were to gave utterance to our feelings, to speak as they did: snd thus, by insensivly placing us in their stead, he enlists Cur sympathies aud rivets our attention. Baving reen that the author acted thas wisely ia | choosing his style ot composition, we have next to consider the manner in which be planned his drama and conducted his plot. On this question, the lec- turer stated that he had the misfortune to differ | When he came to anchor, he was not more than a from one of the greatest authorities on this subject, | the jearned and pious Doctor Lowth. plished Hebrew and classical scholar, in_his lectures on sacred poetry delivered befure the University of Oxford, contends that Job is not a dramatic compo- , because, as he aaserta, this poem contains 20 plot or action whatever. This opinioo, however, is one not gonerally subs:ribed to, and in which, more- over, the worthy prelate himself cannot bave had the greatest confidence; because subsequently be admits that although the poem of Job ought not to be accounted a true and regular drama, auch as the tragedies of the Greeks, he was far from insinuatin that it did not the dramatic form. “ not only allow,” says he, ‘‘ that in its general c)n- duct it exhibited a similitude, as it were, of genuine tragedy, but that it contains also the priacipal re quisites of a dramatic poem, plot or action alone ex- cepted.” The manner in which Dr. Lowth thus quali- fies his opinion, while it lessens the difficn'ty of main- taining the genuine dramatic character of Job, also , Mie oa imputation of arro- gance, in ing up his opinion in 0; ‘ion to that of 80 acute and renowned a critic. ey examine the manner in which the ; the next, an argumentative conversation, in which the faculties of man are vainly exerted to discever that cause, until instructed by Omniacience; andthe whole closes with another short historic een, in which we ape made acquainted with the final effects, as far as regards the suffering hero. This plan is equally just, great, and beantiful. The acting powers, and to whom, indeed, all real action is confined, are the ited as supremely wise and it; and the principle of evil, acting by rmission only, and restricted within certain limits | 'y the precise extent of that permission. In these | two principles—the one independent and unlimited, the other subordinate and ndent—th> author | places before us the cause of every event, the prime | wad secon movers of whatever takes place, who ay but little and do much; and be contrasts them moet strongly with man, the subject of their influ- ence, who, however much he may talk, is altogether ive in their hands, and therefore does nothing. Dr. Lowth considered the subject in this point of view ; had he reflected on the natnre and of the dramatis persone, be would at once have seen there ia abundance of plot and action, Pant action very property resta with the superio, That accom- | | the cause of his sudden reverse Of fortune. And, by | | the plot which pervades the whole. influences, while all that Job cam do is to vindicate the freedom of hamaa ‘eat | which be does triumphantly. By his intro duct rologue tae author acquaiats us with fut oe which his speaking personages, Jod | aud his friends, are necessarily ignoraut, namely, iving us this knowledge, he places in our hands a Srield to protect us against the force of arguments which he himself i# about t> put into the mouths of his 5 ers. For, knowiag that it isthe great | principle of good by whose permission the events occur Which give rise to their argumeats, we also know that as this principle is all-wise, it acts not without a motive; as it is all-bouuteous it acts not without 3 kind motive ; and as it is almighty, it acts not without a sufficient motive. And, having impressed this knowledge on our minds, he may safely lead us into the maze to which his speaking rsonages are vainly repedipenn 8 to find a clue. ljaving thus pointed out and established the exiat- ence of a plot or fiction in the Book of Job, and thereby proved it to be a genuine dramatic compo- position, the lecturer said would next proceed to offer some remarks on the pecallar beauties of the drama. The first thing which strizes us is the regu- larivy of arrangement and the sustained interest of The first part, or exordium. comprises the two first chapters, and is fall of incident and transition. It commences with 8 brief narrative of the chief personage of the poem, his place of residence, rank of life, aud iaflexible in- tegrity. It then suddenly changes to a svene 80 transcendantly lofty azd maguificent that the randest description of the most daring poets sinks fore it. The tribunal of the Almighty is unveilei; the host of good spirits, and also the Evi one amoi them, in obedience to the high summons, presen’ themselves to give an account of their conducs. The views of the evil one are particularly inquired into, and the unswerving fidelity of . Job, though a mortal, is pointedly held up to fame and extolled. The adversary insinu- ates that Job is only faithful because it is his interest to be so, but that his religion would not be proof aguinst a reverse of fortune. To confound him in so malicious an imputation, the Alosighty delivers Job into his hands, only forbidding him to touch bis person. Satan departs, and next follows a buay scene, in which by the joint agencies of hostile incur- sions, thunderstorms and whirlwinds, the rfghteous sufferer, Job, in one day—and that a day of gladaces and festivity—is stripped of all his wealth and de- prived even of his children—messenger following messenger with tidings of woeful import, till the whole tragedy is completed. Job continues infiexi- ble. He feels the bitterness of his bereavement, deeply feels it; but does not murmur aloud nor sia in his heart. On the contrary, Job arose and reat his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground and worshipped, and said ‘“ the Lord hath given, and the Lord hath taken away ; blessed be His holy name!’ The heavenly judicature again re- turns. “ The Almighty once more arraigns the host of spirits. The unswerving fidelity of Job is again pointed out to Satan, and the futility of bis malice | exposed. The evil one insists that he had no liberty to touch his person. The person of Job is now | laced in his power; he is only fobidden to touch his | ive. In the same moment Job is smote from head to | foot with what the authorized version calls a burn- | ing leprosy, bu which physicians know by the name | of elephautiosus. While agonizied with this afflic- tion, Job is tauntingly upbraided by his wife with the inutility of his religious services. He resists this attack witha placid dignity and firmcess of faith which do honor to hnman nature. “ What,” is his reply, ‘shall we receive good at the hand of | God, and shall we not also accept evil 7” The prologue closes duce the argumentative part of the poem—a precoa- certed visit to the suffrer of his three most intimate friends. The first part is particularly distloguished by simplicity, sublimity, and fine feeling. In its déec- tion it exhibits a perfect contrast to that of the body of the poem, in conjunction with whish it af- fords a complete mastery of style and language such aa but few of the sacred writers equal. It is a strik. ing characteristic of this transcendent poem, that its writer uniformly suits his ornaments to the occa- sion; that, as though influenced by the best rales of modern criticism, he seldom employs a figarative style where the incident or passion is capable of sup- porting itself; but invariably reserves his boldest images and illustrations for circumstan:es that seem most to reed them. The connection of the orzu- ment, the characters of Job, his wife and friends,and the reason why, notwithstanding his wretched and helpless condition Job nevertheless,had the best of the debate, sicce amidst much of error he held fast by fact, whilst his friends, along with much of trath, re- | lied chiefly on the sncient erroneous superstition | that no suffering befals man except for the punish- ment of sin, férmed the conclusion of this highly interesting aud instractive discourse. The Fisheries. WHICH AMERIGAN VESSELS ARE TREATED. The Gloucester Telegraph has additional accounts from the bay. It continues to regard the conduct of the naval vessels as trivial aud inefficient. We copy @ part of its remarks:— Aiwong the versels arrived this week was the Winged Racer, Capt. Parker, partia! account of whose seizure and subsequent release was given some weeks since. Capt. Darker iaforms us that on the 11th September, the weather being stormy, he, with a number of other vezscls, put into ape Bay. On going in, he passed within musket shot of H M. steamcr Argus. His helyards being maie fast aloft, he put his flag on a pole, and held it up over the stern, as many of the vessels were in the habit of doing, and held it there for a quarter of an hoor. THE MANNER IN quarter of a mile from the steamer, and before he bad lowered his mainsail an officer was alongside in a boat. The first salutation he had was the question why be did not hoist bis flag. Capt. P. replied that he did put it up over the quarter, and gave the rea- sons why it was not hoisted at the mast head. Tne officer said it was not seen there, whereapon Capt. P. told Lim that he would then hoist it at the mast bead, if it was necessary. The officer told him to do £0, and a man was accordingly sent aloft, and the flag hoisted. The officer thea went into the cib'n, and examined the vessel’s papers, and afterwards, the hatch being off, into the hold, to see the water and wood. After he had done this, he told Capt. Parker he must immediately goto sea; but Capt. Parker replied that he should not go to sea that night The officer then went off, and shortly after- wards the steamer was anchored just ahead of the schooner, and twenty men sent on board with a hawser, which was made fast around the foremast. The men commenced weizhing the anchor, and the officer with them turned to Capt. Parker, and told him that he had command of the vessel then. After | the anchor was up, the steamer got under way, and proceeded to Douglass Town, seven miles, where the schooner was anchored alongside a frigate. evening, about ten o'clock, the officer came on board the schooner, and told Capt. Parker that he was at liberty to go where he chose, excepting that he must not go into Gaspe the next day! No apology was offered to Captain Parker for the insult or cetention. It has been stated that the commander of the frigate raprimanded the com- mander of the steamer, but Captain Parker was in- formed that that officer was on board the steamer during the whole transaction. Schooner Republic, Captain Thurston, was one of the vessels boarded by an officer on the 7th Sep- tember, andordered out of Gaspe. The officer made an endorsement on Captain Thurston’s papers, simi- ‘lar to that made on those of Captain Thompson, of schooner Express. Schooner VP boty Ann, Captain Colby, was ano- ther of same fleet. As Capt Colby paesed near the A » he was hailed by the commauder, who ordered him out again. Captain Colby replied thst he must go in. “ What bes going in for?” said he commander. “To land a sick man,” was re- plied. You must not goin; you must go to sea,” ain said the commander; but Captain Colbv re- | pl ied that his man was sick, and must be attended The commander finally seat his surgeon on board, and found that one of the men was sick, aad needed assietance. About 4be 10th ult, a y of twenty Indians attacked the Comitas, yc of Major Dars’, killed two Mexicans, and drove off upwards of forty head of hia best horses. They were pursued by fif. teen Mexicans, under command of a Mexican who has been prisoner among toe Carnanches. They eame up with the Indians, had a running fight, re- covered, and sent back a portion of the animals, but still continued the pursuit. When Mr. F. left they had not returned. These Indiana were dressed in the American garb. A Mexican mistook them for whites, rode np to them, and eas made prisoner. They rl ace beat, gouged and spurred him. He pre- tended to be dead, and tse Indians left him but little hurt. Five Indians were sven on the Corpus Christi and Rio Grande city road, near a water-hole called the Ratamosa. The Mexicans are ex-ccting the arrival of more troops at Comargoevery day. They persist in’ be- lieving Santa Anoa will make war upon the Untted States, and indulge in vo |ttle gasconading. The same opinion is cntertained by the Americans gene- rally in that quarter. A reinforcement reached Ringgold Barracks about the 20th ult. it was reported fortifications were to be constracted immediately at that point. It seems the administration is determined to use all the pre- sent means in its power to place the Rio Grande frontier in a state ot defence, and in a condition to meet any emergency. The Nueces river was very fall—near a mile wide. A duel came off lately near Rio Grande city, be tween Billy Jobnson and a soldier, At the second fire Jobneon shot the soldier dead in his tracka. Mr. F. says, it was thought by most persone that Jobn- son was right; nevertheless, he left for the Mexicay side, on account of a message said to have been sent him from the military at Ringgold Barracka, inducing him to think he would not be safe on this side—pro- caution, to prevent his being killed by t! a friends’ pr ing y the In the } Reman Catholic Church Property. From the Nework Daily advertiver, Nov. 21.] The fol sorrespondence, which bas recentl taken place between the trustees of St Peter's Church at Bel'eville and Bishop Bayley, will be read with interest. The question as to whether the church proj be vested ia the Bishop or tuustees of the churches has long been a subject of controversy ome the Catholics in differen’ parts of the country, and M. Bedini, the Pope's Nuacio, now in this country, appears to have been charged with the duty of set the trouble. His decision ia the case St. Lou Charch at Buffalo, it will be re- membered, was in favor of the Bishop, and the trus tees resist it on the ground that the Sens porelitieg be- long to themselves. The trustees at Belleville, how- ever, in consequence of the decision, have welensaety acceded to the principle as laid down by M. Bedini, and resign the femporatities hitherto vested in taem, to ecclesiastical autnority. This is, we believe, the first case of voluntary submission to the decision. ‘The correspondence is as tollows:— ‘Tue Caraouo Taustsss or Sr. Pxren’s CHURCH, BRLLEVILLE, N.

Bishop the joy we fael at his elevation to the episcopal dignity over us and the entire State of New Jersey. Weare also full of gratitude to the Sovereign Poxtiff fr having wade us the spiritual children of one whom we and our families slready regard with veneration and love, and whose admonitions for the greater glory of God and the welfare of our souls, we will ever obsy with simplicity and alacrity. We also take this opportunity of declaring to you, our Rey. pastor, und through you algo to our Rt. Rev. Bishop, that from motives of conscience, and in order to stand in strict conformity with the laws ‘and discipline of the Ca- tholic Church as lately explained to cer:aim trustees in Buffalo by the Nuncio of his Holiness, we divest ourselves of all supervision over the local ecclesiasti:al revenuss of our church, feeling, as the Nuncio has said, “Nothing can be more exclusively subject to the ecslesiastical min- istry than such kind of revenue,’’ and that ‘the offer- ings at mass and contributions for pews being made onl, for the carrying on of divine service, such reven but the direct result of the sacred ministry, and conse- quently must be subject to the free administration of ec :lesastical authority.” Too weil we know, as Catholics, the ruin and desolation that have fallea upon our church properties in the apos- tate Protestant countries of Europe since Henry VIIL., Calvin, aud the others of them sac usly wrested thoir revenues from Catholic ecel*siastical managemen:, and subjected them to lay control. If ever Protestant laws should accord us apy sinful privilege of this sort, God forbid we should ** avail ourselves of it to oppose our bishop and clergy in the free discharge of their duty.” On the contrary, if, from some civil cause or other, obliged to use such privilege, we would, in the words of the Nuncio of the Vicar of Christ on earth, “make it a duty to consult the priaciples of our faith, to ascertain when and how we ought to use it, and would ever feel bound in such a crisia to make ouraction harmonious with our duty as Catholics.’’ Indeed, we are fully convinced that to act otherwise would not only be to deviate froin what we owe to the highest authority of the Catholic Caureh, but from being, as we now are, her faithfal children, devoted to the Right Rev.

Bisuor’s Hous, NewaRk, Nov 16, 1853 Rev. xp Dean Sin:—I have received aad read with pleasure the letter addraxsed to you oy tue trustees of St. | Peter's Church, Belleville, and which you sranamitted to ith what is designed to intro- | me for my perusal. I, of course, regard their resignation of office rather as a matter of form than anything else, for men entertaining such sentiments aie not likely to abuse the trust com: mitted to them, and under some other name you will no doubt find them useful auxiliaries in the management of the temporal affairs of your parish, Still I could not but be pleased with the sound and correct viewn whieh their letier exhibits, in regard to’ the important matter of the administration of church reve- nuea, and the reasons which they give for the resignation ofan ollice which, I regret to say, has, on accouat of the abuse made of it, becoaie an odious one. My late position as Secretary to the Most Rev. Archbishop of New Yori has given me opportnnity of becoming fully acquainte: with the bad effects of the old trustee syatem as formarly carried ont, and of the advantages to rel’gion which have resulted from the adopting of those true Catholic prin- ciples of administration which he substituted in its place. There can be but one opinion among Catholics,—whe- ther clergy or luity—in regard to the position taken by the trustees of St. Louis Church, Buffalo It carried out, it would make them, ani not the Bishop, the real gov- erning power inthe church. It dent that if they had been good Catholics, all grounds of dispute betwaea them and their holy, zealous bishop, would have been long aince removed, or rather would never have existed. Tregard the prevalence ef sound and correct views upon this subject, amongst the laity of the diocess of | Newark, as a favorable augury for the peacefulness and rorperity of my future administration We all alike Bishop, priest, and people, oan have bus one interest in the matter—tue honor, the glery, and prosperity of God's | ureh, which should be ceaver to us than all else be- ‘ea; aud my trust and prayer is, that whatever we may have it in our power to do for the extension and more fi m establishment of our holy religion in this State, may be done in the true spirit of Christianity, unity, ani cha rity. beg you to convey to the Inte Trustees of St. Peter's Church’ the expression of my kind regard.

FIREMEN’S BALL AND PR4“SENTATION, Last night, Liberty Fire Eogine Company, No. 1, of Jersey City, held its fourteenth annual ballat the [udson House, and was attended by a numerous aad gay company. At the supper a presentation was made of a splendid fire cap ani 4 silver mounted trompet to Mr. 8. A. French, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, lately elected to thas office. It was presented by Mr. i. D. Riley, in behalf cf No. | 1's company, of which Mr. French has been a mem- ber for nine years, and has twice been their foreman during that time. Mr. Riley, in the course of his remarks, paid a high compliment to the recipient, and assured him that in the discreet and faithtul discharge of the duties of his new and responsible oftice, he would be sustained by the authorities, citi- zens, and firemen of the city. (Applause.) Mr. Frencu, in responding, said:—Gentlemen and ladies, and mem2s of Eagine Company, No.1, this testimonial from my agsociates in the Fire De- artment confers great honor upon me. I have too jong done service with you to doubt your siucerity in what you have said and done throngh your speaker. In response J pledge myself to strive to taithfully discharge e duties which devolve upon me in the office of Chief Hagineer, which, in the course of events, I have been selected to undertake. (Applause.) I have witnessed the faithful manner in which the firemen of this city have discharged their duties when called upon. ‘I feel entire covfidence in your fidelity to the best interests of the department, (applause,) and fully truss in your willingness at all times, by day or night, in sunshine or storm, whether weary or refreshed, to exert yourselves with skill and courage in saving the lives and property of your fellow citizons. (Loud and continued applause.) I say with safety that the authorities will aim to promote your comfort and usefulness so far as lies within their power, and within the bounds of reason. (Applause.) I also congratulate you upon the fact that water will be introduced to our city during the coming year. I thank you for the honor you have doue me, aad ex- press my hope and confidence that the Fire Depart- ment will increase in ey and strength, and work together in good fellowship. ( Applause.)

The wounds are two and three inches in length, from one of which the bowels shockingly protraded, The circumstances were as follows :—A ball had been given on Saturday night which O’Brien attend- ed; it broke up at twelve, when he, in company with several friends, walked as faras Beaver and Green streets, where they met Flynn. The latter asked them into some place in the neighborhood to drink. After taking their drinks, all came out and walked up town together. When near the corner of State and Pearl streeta, Flynn accused him of “ belieing him to his boss,” and on O’Brien denying it, he called him a liar. A quick, short straggle ensued, and on Officer Bahan coming up, the parties die- persed, O’Brien going up Pearl with two of hisfriends, After walking a short distance he expressed sar at a large lamp on his abdomen, which he said ‘lyau vould not have caused in boxing; soon after he turned pale and began to vomit. His friends assisted him home, when he was undressed and it was dix covered that he had been fearfully stabbed. ‘The “lump ” he had spoken of was a mass of iatestines protruding four or five inches! Dr. March and others were called, who did all that science cou'd to relieve the unfortunate man, but expressed hardiy a he Lyd his recovery. The wounds are long and deep, and through one of them the knife reached and cut the intestines. Information was sent to the officers of the Third district, and Flynn was arrested yaster- day morning, at the residence of his mother. “He de- nied knowing anything about the affair, On his per- son was found an ordinary jack knife. The parties are both carpenters, and both young men; O'Brien about thirty years of age, having a wife and child, Flynn unmarried and aged nineteen. The charge that Flynn mave against ©'Brien of his slandering him to his employer, is said by the latter to have been entirely faise.

Sir—I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknow- ledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th instant, 1e- questing, on behalf of the Presbytery of Edinburg, to be inforued whether it is proposed to sppoint a day of na tioval fast on account of the-visitation of the cholera, and to state that there can be no doubt that manifests- tions of humble resignetion to the Divine will, and sin. cere acknowledgments of bumaa unworthiaess, are never more appropriate than when it has pleased Providence to afflict mankind with some severe visitation; but it does not appear to Lord Pslmerston that a national fast would be suitable to the circumstarces of the present moment. : The Maker of the Universe has estsblished certain laws of ature for the planet in which we live, and the weal or woe of mankind depends upon the observance or the ne- glect of those laws. One of those laws connects health with the absence of those gsseous exbalations which pro- ceed from over-crowded human beiags, or from decom- Posing rubstances whether animal or vegatablo; and those @ laws render sickness the almost inevitable conse- quence of exposure to those noxious influen has at the came time pleased Providence to p! in the power of man to make such arrangements as will pe nt or dis} such exhalations, so as to render them armless, and itis the duty of man to atiend to th: laws of nature, and to exert the faculties which Provi- dence has thus given to man for bis own welfare. The recent visitation ®f cholera, which has for the moment been mercifully checked, is an awful warning given to the people of this realm that they have too much neglected their duty in this respect, and that those persons with whom it rested to purify towns and cities, ‘and to prevent or remove the causea of disease. have not been sufficiently active ip regard to such matters. Palmerston would, therefore, suggest that the best course which the people of this country ean puraue to deserve that the fuctber progress of the chol-ra should be stayed, will be to employ the interval that will elapse between the present ti nd the beginning of next spring, in planning and executing measures by which those ‘tions of their towns and cities which are inhabited by ¢ poorest classes, and which, from the natare of things, must most need purification and improvement may be freed from those causes and sources of contagion, whic! if allowed {o remain, will infallibly breed ptilenca, an be fruitful in death, in spite of all the prayers and fast- ings of @ united but inactiva nation. When man has done his utmost for his own safety, then is the time to invoke the blessing of Heaven to give effect to your exer- tions. Tam, sir, your obedient servant, HENRY FITZROY. ‘The reading of this letter from the Home Secre- tary excited a oe ast of sensation among the ry! ‘. members of Pres! Superior Court.
