There were about one hundred adults present, mainly ladies, and as many more boys, ranging from the age of five upwards, Dr. Crmever opened the exercises with an carnest and appropriate prayer. He prayed for God’s gracious, loving, compassionate presence and blessing, and that each should be taught to beliove that God was the father, and all were his children; that God would bless each one of the little children before bim, and pour down his spirit into their youthful hearts in these days of such wonderfal refreshing ; that God would bless the children of the poor and the needy on the outekirts of the city, in the desolate, and peor, and miserable, and deserted portions ot the city; that God would visit them and stir up their hearts; thet God would bless the enslaved aud the children of the ensaved, the poor dear children who, without any thonght or reeponsibility of their own, were brought into this world of sin and care and sorrow with chains and slavery thrust upon them, who are beaten down and por- petua'ly branded as chattels, and not as immortal beings; that God would turn the hearts of the peeple and of government; that this ‘oppression might be stayed, and the oppressed be free; that the wicked laws perpet 1 ating slavery should be obiiterated from the statute book, ‘and that the chi'dren of those in bonds should be as free as we. He prayed earnestly that those whose daty a7 Lk erenihen of thee peat bglew d = with Tespone: uw on, ‘that ail might be finally brought to the fold of Christ” mes the prayer the audience joined in singing hymn— Fen What’s the news? what's the news? Mr. Lecies Horr, of the Fourteenth street church, made a few remarks tothe boys, impressing the importance of the present movement, and urging the immediate emoracing of the Co eeeen J to acknowledge Corist led the children in singing several Sabbath school hymns, in which all seemed to joln One was— Come, littie chiléren, will you come unto me? Come, wil! you come? come, will you come? T will be your Saviour, and happy you will be— Come, will you come? come, will you come? Mr. Dopex was then requested to offera prayer. He invoked the divine blessing upon this gatheriag of little children assembled in the name of the Saviour, and that God would impress upon them that they should come to the lamb of Got who taketh away the sins of the world in the moraing of their days. Rev. T. L. Cvvixk was the next speaker. He said ho was always prepared to address these meetings, for all that we wanted was to put ourselves alongside a living, dreathing, immortal syul, throw oor arms about itas it were, and take it right up to Jegue Christ. Wherever they went they found God's people loving each other with re: rewed energy, and singers’ hearts ready to be taken hold of. Sioners were coming and puttivg their beara into their bands for them to wach and direct them. And now there youthful hearts were put into their hands with the request ‘Do us good.’ They had mutual con ddencs; one bad come to do the other good, and the others bad conti dence in them He came particularly to say one thing, which was, that It wae harder to reach a man's heart late in life. A yourg tree could be pulled up with the fingers, but it took" @ tornado to war up an old tree, it became 80 ¢eop rooted. So it was with youth and manhooa with regard to religious teaching. A youth, like a young tree, could be transplanted early in life—taken out of the devil's ground aud put over into Corist’s garden— taken from the devil's ciutebes and put over into Curist’s kingcom—taken from @ poor sinner and given over to Jesus Chriet. They ail bad wicked bearts who had not ‘come to Christ, and it was only their wicked hearts that y from Christ. It was their wicked hearts opt them back. Were they golog to keep them? What were they going to do wih thom?

The 318th hymn was then sung, commencing— Come ye sinners poor and needy. Greve of G Mr. Donow addressed the audience, showing very beau. tifully the difference between a sorrow for sin on account of the punishment and genuine repentance. ‘The children then sang several more pretty hymns un- der the direction of Mr. Hart. Rev. Mr. Harry made an ag my! addreas, depre- cating the lack of interest of adults the spiritual wel. fare of children, and forcibly {llustrating how much better it is to do right than to do wrong. In conclusion, he eall- ed upon all tho little boys who desired to become Chris. tians, and who wished the prayers of Christian parents, teachers and friends to hold up their hands. quite a general raising of hands, though somo certainly bore + vidence that the youthful owners had forgotten that “cleanliness i next to holiness,’’ Master Harieex pext delivered an impressive prayer for the divine blessing on this meeting and for the con version of his young friends Mr. Marsu, who moet of the time acted as chair. man, closed the mecting with some remarks on what he calied the three our death and andience as to wi ‘r another similar meeting should be held, and the boy generally seemed to be in favor of it.

In Friday’s Hmnatp we noticed the arrest of Charles Miller, an agent for an alleged German lottery and policy coneern known ee the Grand Duke, or Baden State Lottery, of Frankfort, Germany, and agent for the Now York Ex- portation Society. On Friday afternoon officer ‘ieorge F. Brandt of the Mayor’s squad who arrested Millor, proceed- ed to the headquarters of this alleged bogus concern and succeeded in finding a large quantity of slips, blanks, tickets to the number of several thousand, two large lottery wheels filled with tickets and the books of the concern, showing an extensive correspondence with pur- chasers of tickets, not only in this city but in every State in the Union and the British Provinces. Miller, thealieged agent or these lottery and policy schemes, advertises bimeelf as a homeopatnic physician and has a numerous easortment of homeopathic medicines in bis place in Canal street. The manner in which he has been operating in this city by seliirg tickets for his enterprises was by advertising 1OF parties toactas egents for bis medicines, at the same ume giving those who felt disposed to run the risk a :arge per centage for re’ ling tckets in the lottery. Hia schemes: are beaded as established by a’company called ‘Tne Trade Cempany of New York,” or “New York Exportation so ciety.” The shares offered number 10,000, for which he representa 10,000 premiums, consisting of splendid finien- ed furniture, pianos, jewelry, engravings, dry goode, Xo , mo op by a large number of most resoectable mapufac- Sorers ( names ot whem are not given) in the city.

The Utah Expedition. [Correspondence of the St. Louis Leader. Hrapquarters VOLONTRER BATTA! ION, Camp Scorr, U. P. Jan 31, 1868. On the 20th January Mr. Mowell and Sol Gee, who had started for the Fiathead country on the 24th mber, ‘yin the Wind river and South pass, returacd. They had reached the ercam pment or fort of the under "3 command, the branch of Captain Magraw’ on the Wind river, where their march was arrested by the depth of the snow on the mountains. Mr. Mowell, who is the Postmaster of Salt Lake City, reports all well in the expedition, end says that the animals are wiotering re- markably well, two only, apd those the poorest, having beerlost; but gives an alarming account of the ‘state of ofeivs as regards the Indians. The Crows have come down in a large band, and threaten to run off every head of stock there is around the fort, and have made some most suspicious movements. Whilst the animals aud the men, though the latter number but thirteen all told, are ‘inside the fort, the Indinns cannot possibly burt them further than by blockading them: but by a surprise teem te f cause a stampede during tho day, While tho animals are feeding, and so ran them olf The men have plenty of arms and ammunition, and acapital little stockace, of height sufficient to eet av escalade at de- flance, and well loopholed and turniahed with tlanking do- fences, 20 for their safety no alarm is felt; but we all kvow (hat the Indians can confine them to the fort if they choose, and a close blockade would result in an immonse Joes the animals, Under these circumstances, Colone' Jobnston bas to-day (ist January, 1858,) despatcn- eda = of armed teansters, thirty in number, to Wint river to bring up to this ail the property belonging to the + xpedition at the earliest possible period. Situated as Fort Thomson (the name of the oncampment) ia, thirty tive miles from the emigrant read, with many steep bills and deep ravines intervening, it may be a considerable time before the expedition reaches us, as the svow may hinder them from getting out. Howevor, the force sent is suiticient to wipe out any Indiana wh ay molest them, and keep thor animals from being mpeced as well. From this date to the 30th inst., not one single event worth narrating happened. Drills and rades, and the usual routine of camp life were pe rfoct y undisturbed, except by the discovery of a small patch of turnips about five miles from camp, from which a most diminutive sapply was obtained by those who chose to walk ten miles through the snow for a doxen of froxen turnips, Buton the the mail, or @ part of it, coo sisting of @ couple of pack mules and men, came in, bring- ing. papers to tbe 28th Oetover, 1857. ne excitoment caused amongst uv by this event is on!v to be com to that cocasioned at sea by a shout at masthead or foreeastie of “ Sail, ho!’ or, “ Land oa the lee beam,” which startles into life and activity a vet of passengers ennuied to death by a long calm or protracted ‘voyage. Bankers’ Bilis. TO THE EDITOR OF THR NEW YORK HERALD. Loxpoy, March 1) 1968. From the weekly report of your stock and exchange market, which comes to me regularly in your valuabie journal, I perceive that the bills of exchango | have ini- cated above—banker’s bills—still continue to comman! a much higher rate of premium than those deneminated “produce” or commercial bills. That such should be the cage is inexplicable to my mind, seeing it is now univer- sally conceded that the fictitious credits induced by these bankers’ bills” had po small share in bringing about the late commercial disasters which inflicted so much of ill pen your community, and, indeed, upon the whole world. Bankers’ bills having eighty days to run, and foor- ‘Oifths of all the bills of exchange drawn on this country and sold in New York have a most palpable missomer, and are among the thousana instan: os almost daily oc- currence whereby a misuse of terms is made w coavey to the mind a {alse improaeion, and, as a com-equcnoe, to lead to error of action.

So in the past year it would be difficult to say that the public havo or have not advanced at all in the security of jast rights. During the firet ten of the las} twelve months the coun- try was under the administration of Gonoral Narvaez; recalled from almost 4 banishment to take the charge of government wrested in July of the preceding year from the liboral administration of Kapartoro, by the Minister of War, O'Donnell, in the name of royal prerogative and by the Crown. The change of cabinet produced, it seemed, by no political necessity, fell to the lot of the Dake of Valencia and his friends withoat peril to themeelves, or perhaps without offort, and seems to have been designed asa just recempense of Providence for the bloody tnjua- tice and perfdy of the Conde Lucena. This ministry of Narvaez, which was in oxistence at the beginning of the year 1867, had found the field of policy already occupied, on its coming in; overy odious act, every unpopular restoration, every suppression had already been entered on by the cabinet of O'Donnell, aad nothing remained tor the new military dictator to do than accept measures that would otherwise have been his own, San falicvs tana to thate logical consequences. A cali of ‘the Cortes was made as a snow of regara to the constitu- tioh and copaideration for pubdlic opiuion; but there con- tinued the exercise of absolute powers. Everything done to reconcile the past cabinet with the succeeding one, but to no purpose; and tho legisiative period was remark- able for the tumultuous sessions of the Chamber of Depu- ties and the strnggles in the Senate of rival gonerals and Atateamen, who, with great power and a wea th of olo- quence, exactly delivered within the limits of good breed- ing, charged upon and withstood to raise the attention of alt Spain. view of the conduct of a few past years, and bosh in the eyes of the people remained vanquished for the common good—the chief of the coup d'état of Jaly, 1856, thas upset the progresists government of the Duke of Victoria, and the head of the sucoceaing one, called out of France by the Queen—who would not trast her benefactor though he had relieved her palace from the presence of the detested liberatiets. The result of this session was the b up of those two great sections of the absolutists into pu- merous fragments, and the cabinet, not long after the close of the Cortes, for seemingly no adequate cause, ended. On the 26th day of October iast the Queen onlled to her oid as President of the Counct! of Mnisters the chief offi- cer of the navy, a man of tine private character, of per- sonal yulurity and wealth. The Minister of State pointed war Francieco Martinez 1¢ la Kosa; and with these two exceptions the cabinet was made up from the same moderado party. This ministry tasted three moaths and five days, and was little popular with any #ide, becaase of its indecision, as it was said, though perhaps fauit was its moderation. During this term, on pr oh ht geen Procession, and when the streouw 3 silent at the passago of the royal carriage, Bravo Marilio, standing a little in advance of his friends on the stsps of the ed: of tho Cortes, cheered the Queen.
