NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1857. —_ EE THANKSGIVING DAY. te Observance in New York and Elsewhe ce —The Charitable Insthutions and the, Churches—The Theatres and the Target Companies, Kes, Aes ‘The pred old New England custom of getting apart one @ay w the year in which to offer up thanks to Almighty God for manifold blessinge, seems to be growing in favor all over the country, Thirty one of our States and Terri- tries have celebrated Thanksgiving this year, and the Roliday may be justly claimed by Americans as a national Apstitution. ‘The festive seasons of other nations were instituted in a remote antiquity, and were formerly celebrated with Pagan rites; but in no other country or age bas there been ‘any national holiday at all comparable with our Thanks- giving, which was suggested by a true spirit of Christian piety, and which sanctifles the affections and recollections * that cluster around hearth and home. On this day fami- Mes long separated are re-united, and many an old home- stead is gladdened with the faces of sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, who ordinarily live far apart from each other, but who on this day renew the recollections of their youth in their old home. In this city there are some thirty thousand persons who were born in New England, and very many of these leave New York to spend the holiday with their friends and re- latives in the “Nutmeg” or the old Bay State. It is difll- cult to estimate the number that leaves the city, but they amount to some thousands. THE DAY IN NEW YORK. ‘Thanksgiving was never better observed in this city |) nilee were «lected in the lecture room, and not only ‘sang pieces wih gusto and precision, led by Mr. Lock- wood, bu in sone instances repeated chapters from the Bible without masking a bluder. Rev. Mr. Walker, of Brooklyn, who visi- the House of Industry three times & week, for the purpose of instructing the children in religious truth, addressed the audience in behalf of the ‘monument of the pl ilanthropy of the citizens of New York.’’ He said ‘that between six and seven thousand children had been sent to the far West, and led with comfortable homes— thus relieving the city of New York of a reat ‘and nearly every one of those transported bad turned out well, The House of Industry, he affirmed, was doing more good than six churches, and demanded the support ot ali citizens who were desirous of rescuing thous- ands from the haunts of misery and degradation. A plain bot bountiful dinner was also provided at this establish- ment, which, it is needless to say, was done full justice to by the children. The vigiter could not fail to admire the manner in which the house is kept. It is a model of cleanliness, comfort and system, and will weil repay a visit. It is'a monument of tne enorgy and self sacrifice of its noble projector, and deserves the liberal support of him who would be «twice biessed.”” The subscription book, which was provided for those who wishod to donate money, footed up some hundreds of dollars—the product of the visiters’ donations. We know of no better way for the benevolent to show their disintereetedness and desire to assist in alleviating distress during the present winter than to visit these noble institutions and poe money, clothing or food for the destitute, many of whom, our re- porter was informed, were compelled to return ‘to their wretched domiciis, there not being funds in the treasury to furnish the needed supplies. RELIGIOUS SERVICES AMONG THE JEWS. INTERESTING DISCOURSE BY THE REV. DR. RAPHALL —THE PANIC—THi POOR—UNIVERSAL SELFI3H- NESS. Allthe synagogues were open yesterday, and all the better class of our Jewish citizens attended service in them. In the afternoon the Rey. Dr. Raphall delivered then yesterday. Business down town was entirely sus- pended, and the streets were as still as on the Sabbath. Phere was no public business transacted, and all the eourts and public offices were closed. Even the unem- ployed remained at home and eat their Thanks- giving dinner, (those who could get any,) in peace, if not with thankfulness. One of the most noticeable features of the day was the closing up of nearly all the restaurants and eating houses; and the few who were open did scarce- | ly any business, as every person who had a home, how- ever poor, made it a point to eat his dinner there. Of eourse the necessary adjunct to every dinner was a turkey, and a curious statistition has stated that between 60,000 and 70,000 turkeys are eaten on a Thanksgiving day im New York. Certain it is that the market, full as it was of ail kinds of poultry’ on Weduesday, was unable to meet the demand, and prices ruled unusually high. We are ‘aesured that the day did not pass without many acts of Kindness between families. The rich gave of their abundance to the poor, and many a humble table was Jaden with delicacies which might have graced the ban. quet of a prince. THE CHURCHES. These were well filled in the morning by the respective eongregations, to listen to the thanksgiving discourses by their pastors. The topic most commented upon was the panic and the financial embarrasements, which afforded a Sine text for the preachers. In reply t the very obvious complaint that the monetary troubles left us very little to be thankful for this year. it was urged that Providence had biessed the nation with health, and that the crops were most abundant; and if, therefore, anything went wrong it was manifestly due to the improvidence, extra- vagance and folly of the schemes of men, and that it could not be imputed to a higher source. Among the sermons @f the day was one in the Portuguese Synagogue, Crosby street. The service in this synagogue was attended yes terday morning, at 10 o'clock, by a large concourse of ladies and gentlemen. Several psalms were chaunted by the reader, when the Rev. Dr. Fischel, the Chief Rabbi of the congregation, ascended the pulpit and preached an eloquent sermon touching upon the recent panic and its effects. He selected for his text the following appropriate words from Ecclesiastes, vii., 10:—“Say_ not thou what is the cause that the former days were better than these For thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.”” THANKSGIVING SERVICE FOR DEAF MUTES. Thanksgiving service was celebrated yesterday, at § Paul's chapel, Broadway , for the benefit of the deaf mutes of this city and vicinity, at 103 o'clock. There was quite a number of mutes present, as well as a numerous body of the congregation of St. Paul's. Rev. Thomas Gallaudet, pastor of St. Ann’s church for deaf mutes, University Building, Washington place, interpreted the service for the benefit of the mutes; among whom were many of his own congregation. Rev. Mr. Gallaudet took his place in the reading desk, beside the officiating minister, and ren dered the prayers, psalme, collects, &c., intelligible to his afflicted brethren by a series of rapid, and, at the game time, most expressive and graceful signals, This was the language of the poor mutes. The service was not alone communicated by the Guger alphabet—this sgemed to be but au adjunct: a graceful use of the bands and arms, and even the expression of the @ountenance, were the chief media by which what was | flowing from the lips of the minister was conyeyed to the understanding of those who were hopelessly debarred | frou bearing his voice ‘The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Vinton, and | thus alse was interpreted by Rev. §Mr. Gallandet to the mutes. Dr. Vinton’s discourse was appropriate to Thanks giving Day. He a brief eketel of the many causes | we bad t “give thanks to God for everything’, as the scripture mands: and especially for the abundant | harvest which we have been blessed; the freedom | from pestilence which has marked the past year; the | osperity ef the country in wealth and com- | merece; the preservatton of the Union, the profit of dis- | solving which sordid hearts had began to calculate and | impious men had declared for; and lastly, for the unex amples prosperity which St. Paul's Church now enjoyed. He reminded the congregation that on last Thanksg! ving Duy a confederacy existed to destroy the church and take from it the goods which God had bestowed upon it. Bt since then their enemies had been converted, and God had | Drought good out of evil. He concluded his discourse with a humble prayer of thanks w God for all the biess- ings be had showered upon us THE HOME FOR THE FRIENDLESS. ‘The building of this institution presented a lively and animated scene the whole of yesterday. It was as Thanks- jiving always is at the Home—an occasion of great inter- est for the friendiess little ones who are eo well cared for 4m this exccliext institution. The bountiful supply of good things with which the spacious tables were covured, ant the two or three hundred cheerful and happy little faves that crowded around them, must have been @ pleasant sight to the kind benefactors—both ladies and geutiemen— by whom they were contributed. Washington aud Fulton markets, as usual, sent a liberal donation to the institut 4m the form of turkeys, beef, mutton and an innumerable | catalogue of other good things, while the abundance of | pies and cakes showed that the bakers and confectioners ‘were not unmindful of the children at this partieular time. ‘The building was crowded from morning till night, and very few left it without some donation in monty, or something else equally useful. We were informed by one of the managers that the receipts yesterday amounted w some- | thing like eight hundred 4 pretty fair sum, con- fidering the hardness of the times and the tightnoss of the money market. During the day the children weut @rough a number of interesting exercises in singing, de Clamation and reading, which were varied with perform lances at the table of more particular interest to them. selves.

FIVE POINTS MISSION. ‘The eighth annual Thanksgiving fostival at the Five Ponte Mission (eite of the Gid Brewery) was duly cele Drated yesterday. At 2 o'clock the exercises in the spa Ciour chapel, containing over 500 children, male and female Included, were commenced. They were a!l comfortably Clad, and many of their countenances beamed witb intel Ligence and innocence.

They de- clare a fact which, though true at all times, comes home to us with peculiar force at a time like the pre- sent, when every event that comes ander our no- tuce proves, beyond the possibility of contradic tion, God's power and man’s he’plessness, God’s goodness: and man’s unworthiness. When first I came to this country the time honored observance of a general public thanksgiving, when millions voluntarily join in confessing their dependence op that almighty and beneilcent Being whose gooduess sustains the universe which his power had created, struck me as one of those great and glorions triumphs of religion which she could only achieve in a land of freemen. I held it to be a most important proof of th salutary and exulting influence which liberty exer cises on the mind, that # simple invitatioa—not compulso ry, bugleft toevery citizen's own sense of propriety—could unite in one pious purpose, in one free will offering of cevotion, multitudes of men, whose opinions, pursuits and feelings at all other times and on ail other subjects 80 greatly difler. But this warm feeling of aimiration has become Hot a little qualified, since a longer residence im the country, and a nearer acquaintance with men and measures have taught me how hollow is every pubiic demonstration, how public professions of patriotism, and even of religion, are but so many meaus towards an end, and that end self advancement; so that even the noble motive ot Thanksgiving becomes curtailed of its fair proportions and shrinks into an “old established cus- tom,” which, as the Governor of a Southern State is can did enough to tell us in his proclamation, may probably do little good, but is sure, at all events, todo no harm.’ This view, however, 140 not quite share. While time and experience bave disabused me, and in a measure cured me of my enthusiastic admiration of the motives, 1 ypreciate the idea! beauty of the institution of Thanksgiving Day.

CAUSE OF THE Panic. I say it, fearless of contradiction, that on the day when the panic was at its worst, this country ed more material wealth than it had owned in any preceding year of general rity. No, the cause is not material—it is mental, , deeply seated within us. And its name is selfisbness—intemse, unscrupulous, insatiable seltish- When the elemd arose in the West, small, like + man’s band, and began to spread; when concerns looked open as wealthy, began to break down, no man asked, “What can Ido to sustain my neighbor?” But every man thought only of himself; and judging all others by himeeif, universal distrnet’ became prevalent to that degree that its hideous influence paralyzed the efforts of one and all, and has not yet subsided. And if you ask me how could this happen in a land where religion and morality are preached from thousands of pulpits, | answer you, there is asystem that has no pulpit, but preaches most powerfully; there is a worship that no one owns to, but that bas earpien everywhere, and unbelievers nowhere. While Judaism and Christianity are nomi- nally the faith and worship of the land, that other hopes is the real religion, cupidity the la ¢ almighty dollar the high priest, and self the idol; id his idokso successfully counteracts the goodness of God, that under its pestilent influence every good gift is per: verted, #0 that abundance is no safeguard against want, and even freedom degencrates into misrule. We have searched—we have examined. Let us now return to God, for his word is the only rémody to this wide-spread evil. 1 would ask the pions and reyerend men who so zealous- ly pray for the conversion of “Jews, Turks and infidels” —I would ask their flocks who join in the prayer, has it ever struck you that the precept which the Lord God of Israel gave through Moses, his servant, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor like thyself,”’ is not merely a sublime and most pure lesgon of virtue, but that it is also the most use- ful lesson of practical prudence and worldly wisdom? Had those financial chiefs and merchant princes who sit in the high places nearest the altar, been tanght and trained to love their neighbors in reality, and not merely in profes- sion, the present unfortunate state of things could never have arisen. But late as it is, it is not yet too late for car- rying out that precept, which is at once virtue and pru- dence. I would ‘ask these merchant princes, what have you done to succour the working men whom your reckless selfishness has thrown out of employment? The winter will soon aggravate the pangs of hunger by those of cold. What have you done to mitigate those pangs? Does your blind selfishness reply ‘their wants are nothing to us? There is the noorhouse, there are the soup houses.”” Reffect. Are poorhouses and soup kitchen the best means to enable the starving workmen to resist the temptation that will incessantly goad them on to replenish the empty cupboards of their worshipped homes with abundance taken from your well provided and luxuriant abodes? Reflect, T say'again, and ax you love youselves love your neigh- ors. WHAT RAS REEN THE CONDUCT OF THE JEWS? But perhaps I may be asked what right have you Jews to talk] Have you so successfully overcome your seltish- ness that you are entitled topreach toothers’ Is the dollar less almighty with you than with others’ [own with sor. row and shame that we have not escapéd its intluenc that we too are selfish and greedy of gain. But sand amidst the general suffering, it is to me the chiefest cause for thanksgiving, that the moral attitude of us Jews during the present crisis will compare most favorably with others. It is true we haye suffered, and that severely. Many a proud commercial edifice, raised by the toil and energy of years, is laid low. Many a fortune, the reward of a lifetime of industry and self-denial, is cut down to the bumblest proportions. But though we suffer we have not caused the suffering of others; and even where, carried away by the stream, we have inflicted loss on our neig! bors, the infliction has but in very few instances been wil- ful or calculated. Do not for instant suppose that I wish you to indulge in self-laudation, but what Lam about to say is called for, since but yesterday, in the City Hail, we were, a8 1 am informed, ‘insulted, and our honesty sneered at. A sage of the olden time says:—“Receive the truth from whosoever propounds it,” even though in other respects his authority be rejected. Such an authori ty declares, “By the frait shall ye know the tree.’ This is a truth, and T receive it. Let us test the fruits of the tree of Judaism. Notamong us are to be found the de- faulters of unaccounted millions. No Jewish official ap- pointed vo a place of trust by a public authority or a pri vate corporation bas been guilty of a brewch of that trust. No bank can trace its ruin toa connection with us. No elder, seated high in the synagogue, has fled the country amidst the shrieke and execrations of defrauded stock holders. Not among us must you seek those who bave fattened on the sighs of the widow, the tears of the orphan ; and if the crimipals of New York are recruited ebietly from boys, thank God our lads do not swell their ranks. Such are not the fruits of Judaism, for a good tree does not bear bad fruit, But it must do more—it must bear good fruit. Ata time when the safety and welfare of society demand the energetic co-operation of every citizen, it’ behooves us Jews to prove by our beneficence that are the descendams of the benevolent 4 by our integrity, that we are the disciples of the pure and lofty souled Moses; by o veal in the cause of humanity, that we are the © witnesses’ of the Ged of truth, Such are the fruits that will prove to the world which is really and truly the tree of God's own planting. THE OPERA MATINEE-—THE THEATRES. Om yesterday afternoon was given at the Academy of Music the third and last matin‘e of the season, The at- tendance was even greater than that which honored the performance of the “Trovatore.”’ The spacious salle was crowded with ladies and children, and the representatives of the sterner sex were fain totake up with standing places | 4p the lobbies. The display of female beauty was «a perb, and entirely satisfies us that the ladies are resolved to sustin the Opera at all hazards, The performance. in- cluded “La Sonnambula,” by Madame De la Grange, Signori Labocetta and Gassier, and a concert in which Mme. D’Augri, Miss Milner and Mr, Viouxtomps as received th mnanimous applause of the house, and Labocetta wore likewite in excellent voice, and re- | ceived their full meed of appreciation. Miss Milnor was honored with an encore, and in fact, the whole entertain Ment gave entire satiaaction. On Saturday there will bea grand operatic and concort performs nee for the benefit of the charitable fund of the Fire Department, and on Monday, “Robert le Diable’’ will be produced in grand style for the déind of Herr Formos. The rale of seats will commence to day at the Academy The theatres were all crowded last night. In the after noon special performances were given at Burton's, Laura bio’s Garden, Rarnum’s Museum, Wood's Min$ strels,and by Nagle’s Juvenile Comedians, at No 444 Broadway, all of which were well attended.

[From the New Orleans Picayune, Nov. 19.] Capt. A. Van Horne Ellis and Purser Lyons, of the ill- fated steamship Opelousas, who returned to the city last evening in the special train from Berwick’s Bay, place us in possession of fuller intelligence of the recent dreadful disaster in the Gulf. The statement of Captain Eliis will be found below, over his own signature. From Mr. Lyons we learn, ‘in addition, that the steamer Jasper, Capt. Flanders, from Sabine Pass, arrived at Berwick at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, reports having fallen in with no portion of the wreck or cargo. It is certain, therefore, that we have heard the last of the unfortunate steamer. The freight of the Opelousas measured 1,460 barrels, according to the usual measurement, valued at about $10,000—490 barrels for Galveston, 970 for Indianola. It consisted principally of pork, flour, corn, sugar, molasses and coffee, and was destined for almost every place in of Texis—San Antonio, Victoria, Seguin, , Lavaca, Matagorda, New Braunfels, &c.: r place about 300 barrels were for W. H. Meriwether, Eeq., who was himself enger on board, and with his wife fortunately saved. Mr. Lyons, the clerk, is unable to say what insurance, ifaay, was eifected on the freight. STATEMENT OF CAPT, ELLIS. Left Berwick's Bay for Galveston Sunday afternoon. Passed the light sbip at 4:15 P. M.; wind about E. N. E. At 8:15 I sounded on Tiger Point in 33¢ fathoms, and short ly after, having 7 fathoms, were clear of the flats, steer ing W. by S. for Galveston bar. Atafew minutes of 11 P. M. it looked very squally over the land, but presently cleared off and left a starlight night overhead, but a slight haze on the horizon. [ordered an extra bright light to be set about 15 feet up the forestay, as the light on our stern sometimes went out, without being instantly per- ceived. J went my accustomed round of the ship before midnight, and found everything in order, boats ail right, three oars and a plug lashed in each. I then ordered the 2d mate to call me if the wind came out from the north ward, and kept a lookout for the Galveston, which vessel passed us when visible about 1235, distal from one to three miles on other occasions. [ then lay down with my clothes all on, and presently heard them hoisting the jib and foresail. "A short time after Mr. Jewell called to me that the Galveston was near, about two points on our star- board bow, and that he had kept her (i. ¢. our sh little, I jumped up ant saw a light in that direction close to us, and thinking we would ran in to get a blue light, Six of which I had ordered from New Orleans that very trip; but when I stepped out, after afew seconds detention, the light (a green one) disclosed the Galves: ton at full speed, running directly on to our beam; at t same moment the second mate cried out, “hard-a-star- board,’’ but as our boat was swinging, she ack us stem on about ten feet from our galley, and ten feotfrom where I stood, and went easily into us up to our steam pipe nearly, and hung. I climbed up on her bows to get a line that i might fasten her to my boat, so when she was clear she would be close by us: but T saw no one, and fecling her back astern, jumped hack to my own ship. saw the Gal- veston’s bows were solid as she left ux by the light of our furnace doors shining through the hole she made, which also showed me that my poor boat wax done T seized ahatchet from tny room, roused up the purser who was next me, and attempted'to rush aft to my passengers, bat the steam escaping fromthe broken pipe, and also from the fires which were being put out, nearly threw me down, and burnt my lungs so that it was some time before Iwas successful. 1 found Mr. McFarlane busy with the port boat, in which were already several wo men.

She lay bottom up. 1 came across Mr. Fowler, engineer, and my second mate, and eried out to them, and to the passengers near, “Lot ua bal out the lifeboats from under the half deck,’ but when we got there, they all save the officers jumped into them. I cut the lashings and drove them out, when they scattered, come jumping overboard, and we could not move the boat. The water was then knee deep on the upper deck, and I ran forward, followed by a woman, to see if by chance any of my people were there. As I got near the wheelhouse I felt her breaking up, and had but Lime to seize a little canoe about eight feet long, on which I put the female and a passenger who had just then ap peared, when a swash of water took us clear, it rolled over | several times, but [swam alougeide and kept it balanced as well as possible.

I sung ont to take the woman aboard, but some one said, “we're full; ne more;”’ but one of my own crew was abvard, and recognizing my voic foreed the beat and took the woman and man with m ‘aboard. I then ordered him to make way for the Galveston, | asthe boat was full enough without me, and after some demur they left. I did not then wish to live. 1 saw se veral bouts passing; and the cries on the wreck ceasing, I supposed most of my unfortunate passengers were safe. Irighted the canoe, and nearly froed her of the water, but my strength failed me, and T could not get in. 1 wax Presently picked up, and after some delay got on board the Galveston. I raw one of my boats alongside, half full of water, and out for my men, two answered me, and we all three got in, bailed her out and started again for the wreck. There was then afresh breeze, and a short, ugly sea. We fail in with the pilot house afloat. One ‘man, & poor careman, hurt his hand, and | took the oar. After pulling about for half an hour, we fell in with several boats; in one Trecognized, to my Joy, Mr Young, my pilot, with two oarsmen; in another my mate, and in another my second mate.

VAN HORNE ELLIS. NARRATIVE OF A SURVIVOR. Harrison H. Hobart, one of the surviving passengers, oy 6:-—'"1 was a passenger on the Opeloume, Captain Billig bound from Berwick Bay to Galveston. On the night of the 15th, about a quarter past 12 o'clock, 1 was awakened in my berth bya shock as if the vessel was struck by febtning. Irnshed on deck and found it crowded witl Dessengers, all in the wildest state of excitement—the Ia- dies screaming and the gentlemen running to and fro. The first consciousness I had of danger was hearing the mete and steward calling on the passengegn to save themselves, as there were two life presorvers in each stateroom. I hastily made for the cabin to get a life preserver, but on reaching it found the water in itankle deep. I hastily retraced my steps, and on reaching the deck again found the steamer sunk to her gunwales, The passengers then ran to the hurricane deck, but in about three minutes she had Mink to that deck. The scene of wild confusion and dismay which then presented itself beggars all description. The life ont was cut away, and come fifteen or twenty jumped into her, and others jumped into one of the quarter boats, when beth boats started for the Galveston, then some dis tance from the wreek. (at this time T did not see the Galveston, and was totally unconscious of the cause of the disaster.) ‘The life boat, before reaching the Galveston, was cap. tized, and several of the passengers sunk to rise no more. Lheld on to the stern of the Opelousas, and while in cond engineer. This i him to shove Opelonsns, from t ight Ts broke in two and turned bottom upwards Seeing the tu upwards until daylight, when they were picked up. A Mexican, namenot known, who had sie boy, was also found next morning holding on to a are fused state of affairs, after I was saved, it appears that both boats being under full headway, the Galveston struck the Opelousas on the starboard side, a little for- ward of the wheelhouse, cutting her nearly in two and smashing her machinery so that the steam from her boilers soon filled the cabin, rendering it impossible to distingush objects distinctly. The second mate of the Opelousas and the first mate of the Galveston were on watch on their respective boats at the time of the colli- sion. Captain Washburn, of the Galveston, was not in charge of the Galveston that trip, having left the boat in Galveston on account of sickness. ‘Smith,*T un- derstand, had charge of the Galveston. Captain Ellis as- serts that he was in his right track or course when the collision took place. Immediately after the collision, Captain Ellis leaped on board the Galveston with a rope, for the purpose of making the latter boat fast to the Weck of the Opelousas, in order to save the, passengers, but being unable to accomplish his purpose leaped back on the wreck. ‘The Galveston stayed by the wreck during the night, and her officers men used every exertion to save those floating in the water. fn ed MARITIME INTELLIGENCE.
