DR. ADAMS’ CHURCH, MADISON SQUARE. ‘This church was opeued for Divine service yesterday morning, and notvince spring has such a large assem- blage of the fuithiul found room within its walls, The breathing time allowed the able aud distinguished pastor to rest for a while from his labor of love, and to gather fresh stvength and cnergy among the hills and vaies of the mountains, ecema w have resulted very much to his physical benefit, At all events, the Rey. Dr Adams never looked more balo and hearty, and the simple and earnest services of the day were performet by him, without assistance of any kind, in his usual edifying and instructive mamer, It would be needless to say that the immenge congrega- tion war a fashionable ope, for tho adeondants of this jong been known to be among the most Mf the city. But on this occasion the children of ith and fashion Were, for the most part, clothed im the ble gurb of mourning. Many were there t express by the Sontward and visible sign”? of mourning the anguish which the inward and mysterious heart was feeling for tha loss of one of the ambaesadors of Christ, now gathered to his fathers, Who was “tuithful in Seasou aud out of seagon.”? ‘The morning serviee began shortly after ten o'clock, A suitable byt. was sung, ii the usial beautiful style of the Madison square church choir, and after the reading of the Seriptoral selections for the day, ‘The Roy. Dr, Apams deitvered a fervid and impressive sermon, fis text was taken from the Second Epistie of Poul the Apostie (© Timothy, in which the great apostle charged the young minister of Chi ist “to preach the Word; fo be constant fa season and ont ef season; to reprove, re- buke, exhort with all loug suffering and doctrive.”” "The reverend gentiman very ably detined the oF of tae Chistian minster in his important aud responsible mus- sion of preaching and pobishing the undying Word of God, and pointed to the carncetucss with which the apos- tle Paul had spoken to Timmothy—his son in the faith—as an evidence of Uhe immensity of the trust which devolves upon all those who have girded ou their armor to figut the battles of the Saviour, Paul had been a faithful ser- vant; he had fuifiied his misgion, and his anxiety was that the young Timothy should grow up strong in the faith aad in that witdom which ripeneth unto eternal life.

The occasion of the death— by drowning—of these two geftle spirits was not lost by the eloquent pastor, in whose lips the sad event was turned into a moral Teason, which could not fail to have sunken deep into the hearts of every one present. Tue most intense intercet wes exhibited during the whole xervice, and in some of the more pathotic passages of br. Acams’ sermon there were many eyes suiTused with ais, In a ehort sketch of the morning service a very feebie and impertect idea can be given of the solemuty und intensely interesting nature of the sermon; but this may be safely said, that every one who heard the burniag words of the venerable pastor ought to have left the church “a wiser and a better man,” REV. DR. CHAPIN’S CHURCH. Tho Universalist church im Broadway, near Spring street, at which Rev. Edwin H. Chapin, the popular preacher of that liberal creed officiates, is usually crowd- ed by an intelligent and fashionably dressed audionce, and sometimes it is even impossible to fiud standing room in the aisles. On the occasion of the reopening of the church yesterday morning, after the summer vacation, there was a very large gathering of worshippers; but there were seats for all comers, and even a few vacant places im the galieries. Whether this comparative pancity of attendance was attribrtas bie to the attractions of other churcies, any waning of the great popularity © preachdr, or to the fuct that not ail the Worshippers have yet revirned trom the summer regorts, we shall not undertake to de Je. ‘The church itseif has not undergone any repairs or Deg wireTtty ts Pesacation none were needed ,the plo ple generally looked fresh and wigs igerouny the aahhath Schoo) children, who perform the duties of the choir, eang with spirit avd Vigor, and the orgauist played his maga)- icent instrument with hie ugval skill aud taste.

There were grand and glittering flights of eloquence, in which the preacher carried his audicuce up among the clouds und the etarg, and the aurora borealis, aud sorely | tasked the skill of the phonographers, five or six of whom were struggling desperately with their pencils Just before the pulpit; there were pathetic appeals and gieaming al- veions ant illustrations; but only asingle reference to the vacution just closed and the reopening of the church. ST. PAUL'S METHODIST CHURCH. At the Saint Pav!’s Methodist Ep scopal church, corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-eecond street, of which the Rev. Mr. Foss is the present pastor, the Rev. Dr. Mc- Ciintock, President of Troy University, preached yester- day morning. It may not be out of place to state that Dr. MeCiintock took a very a partin the erection of this Ddeantiful edifice, ard was its first pastor till he was called to the Presidency of the Troy University, for which post he is eminently qualifled by his distinguished taients and greaterudition, The Fourth Avenue Methodist church is consicered the most aristocratic, as it is the most spacious and elegant, of any belonging to this denomination in the city. The congregation yesterday was very Jarge and fashionable, the majority of the families of the members, haying returned to town. After the usual preliminary exercises, consisting of reading selectious from the Scriptures, singing, and prayer by the puator, Dr. McClintock proceeded to deliver his sermon, baked upon the interview with the angel and Ja- cob recorded in the secoud chapter of Genesis and from the 24¢ to the 80th ve This, he said, was a simple Jewish hietory, aud he regretted to observe in a recent work of some note that they were styled narrow and local, and were only interesting in a historical point of view, as showing the degree of culture to which the peo- ple had. come. While he believed that his hearers did not subseribe to that view, still he thought they might be in danger of regarding the Old Testament histories ag il- inetrations of the providence of God ia bis dealings with the race of men. For his own own part be was accus- tomed in reading them to seek the immediate fruit of them in persona) and individual experience. He asked them to look in the history of Jacob for its lessons of prac- tical wisdom for themselves—lessons for their own ex. and for their guidance in a religious life. The epeaker then mentioned the acts of service which Jacob performed, severe discipline which he underwent bo- fore obtaiving bis wealth, observing, in passing, that every young man ought to go through the same dis- cipliue. Jacob was returning rich, with a princely reti- nve, and while be was alone iu the stitiness. of the eve- ning by the brook side, he had a struggle with God to tad out his destiny. ‘The history recorded in the text was a type of the crisis which comes to every man and woman that wanders from God afer having been iaught by God iu the daye of their youth, and after having acquired etrength, wealth, power and influence, send jt over the breck ane sit alone with God, asking him to reveal! his mighty hame—that was the lesson of the text. The reverend gentleman proceeded to speak of Jacob's strug- gle, his Victory, and its. result, Jacob was physically strong, but his victory was the result of his importunate hh. He became anew man, and when the soul pre- vailed it_rose from its new birth bathed in the love of Christ. The new name was revealed, the new light had come, God was seen in Christ reconciling the soul unto himself. The language of the heart was:—~ Tis love, ‘tis love, ‘Thou died'st for me; Thear thy whisper in my heart— ‘The morning breaks, the shadows feeo— Pure, universal love Thou art, Another hymn was sung, and the audience was dis- misscd with the benediction. CHURCH OF THE PURITANS, DR. CHEEVER. ‘The reopening of this church after the summer vacation was yeeterday morning attended by an audience filing & little more than one-third of the spacious edifice. Dr. Cheever took his text from Acts 1,8:—‘But ye shal receive power after that the Holy Ghost is como upon you ; and you shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem aiid Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the utter- most parts of the earth."' The full meaning of this text, the reverend gentleman said, was difficult to elucidate, so great was its compre. lensiveness, No man was converted by a miracle, but by the Holy Ghost. He would consider some of the rea- rons why this power was tfets, They heat know the thoge. which: were ene given of God: Ministers of the Goapel we instroments of God in the cepoundieg of the tees eit m.."ht come with full force te the hoarte anu’ understand ings 0 wie People.

Doctor Spring's church, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty seyeuth strest, was alao opened yesterday morning for the first time in the season. The pastor look- ed hale and hearty, and has evidently stamina enough for many years of ministration, The vacation has done bin good, ut least so far as the physical man isconcerned. The audience too were all the better for the rest which they had enjoyed. The seats were ali filled; a fashionable con- gregation was present to attend on the services of the day. 1¢ chuveh edifice, which was erected last year, looked as though it hud been freshly cleansed and painted duriag the reccss. A pure breeze entered every window, diksi- pating the mouldy vapors which are 80 apt to pervade the atmosphere “of nil places of worship. Sitting on @ luxurtous sofa, behind the desk, a few inches bigi than his congregation, was the reverend Doctor, a youugy entleman reclining iudoleutly in a ccatunedenne by is gide. Above him, hidden by a portion of the woud- work of the house, was the organ, which was played by hande invisibie to the audience. Three emblazoned crosses shone conspicuously ubove the pastor's head. A litte vex or perch ut his right, and next the organ, was occu pied by the chief singer of the congres , Whose per- formance of the peaims and bymns was admirably caicu- lated to produce a striking operatic effect. Tuo artis: would do well in a purt in “Robert ie Diable” at the Academy of Music, and bis igh would be equally i ing. That barbarous old iconoclast, Jubn Knox, he could have becu present, would ‘almost havo lost temper in this edifice of the Old Brick Chureh voa gregation, and very likely would have mduiged th some of his characteristic talk “about the painted iady and a certain paughty woman Of Babylon. But then ho was hot there, aud ao the people were suflered to worship ia peace, : After commencing the services, the hymn was read:— “The Lord, descending from ubovi Invites his children near,” &e.,. apd the man on the perch above the minister sang it, ac- companied by the “deep toued organ.” It Mr. Howeii Cobb bad been present be would have pronounced it au excelicut murical performance, despite tho operagic cha- ructer which it displayed. Prayer was pext offered by the pastor—a gencral con- fossion of wickednees, hell deserving, and aa acknowledg- ment of Divine mercy, followed by supplication for ail the heathen and & beneticial iuttaence from the prayers off-r- cd all over: the Christian world. Having concluded the crigon, the reverend gentioman proceeded to read the 26th Psalm, in long metre, which was duly executed. ‘The text was then taken from 2 Tn 1:12.“ Por I know whem J] have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto bim against the lasi day.” The Doctor proceeded to remark Wat St. Paul had lain five years it prison, because of a persecution instivited againat the Christians, on a ciarge ‘of baying set the city of Rome on fire. He was daily ¢ pecting to be brought before the bloody tyrant and bute ‘emperor Nero, when he knew his fate Would be to pass through a fearful Dlonty scene to glory on high. The preacber then described the charge which Paul had com- mitted to the Lord, and the nature aud ground of his con- fucnee. He delineated aixo the wonderful change which the believer auderwent in bis transit from the darkuess of vature to the light of the Gospe!. The iast day he sai tate Sysco “euthiity | Welen the begiwAg, molt Wit vent Beat, and the eart and all Therein shoud te batued up.

He aiso gave many of Paul’s reasons for desiring to know his Master. CALVARY CHURCH. fijuated at the Corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty- firet street, Was tolerably Glied with a fashionable assein- binge. A great uumber of the regular attendants were whet in the country, but the large number of atraugers preent served to fiiithe vacant pews and render the gcete checring to the cyes of the officiating clergyman. ‘Theeervice was read by Dr. Hawke’ assistant ina clear und impressive manner, while the choir acquitted itseif with more than ordiuury success. ‘The eighty-sixth se- joctbn of Fsaims, commencing with the lin Orender thanks, and biews the Lord, Jnvoke his sacred ie Acquiaint the nations with his doods, His matchlees deeds prociaum: ug in admirable etyle, as was aiso the thirty-sixth ‘Was hymn. ‘She sermon was preached by the Rev.

If the condi- tion ofthe criminal on earth was humiliating and pitiable, how mich more so would he feel abughed whon he ap: pearedin judgment before his Maker. How mecessary was it, heretore, for us to be justifled by faith, that we might make peace with God before we were brought to judgment, Implicit obedience to God’s commands was expreteLof us all. Who couid say that he had complicd with the Lord's commands? Who was not certain of ve tice arraigned for bis tramsgreesions? No one.

ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH. The Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, the Rector of St. George’s Church, Rutherford place, corner of East Sixteenth street, presided in his church yesterday iu the morning, read the service, and preached a sermon to a large congrega- tion, albeit not as large as the handsome St, George is usu- ally een to contain, but sufticient to fll the body of the cburch and nearly the galleries. Many of the members of the church bave not yet returned from the watering placed; still, in the numbér congregated yesterday, to a stranger they could bardly be missed. ‘The Rev. Dr. Tyng’s text was taken from Psalm 112th, 4th and 7th verses— Unto the right there ariscth light in the darkness: be is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.”'— He eball not be afraid of evil tdings; his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.”? ‘This was the text, and it was treated, as is the able di- vino’s wont, forcibly and ably, with much originality of argument and ilinstration. sermon was lengthy, and the services of the morning were succooded by those of the holy sacrament. In the evening the Rev. Dr. Tyng read the service. aqua minister, astranger to tho congregation, dotivered the sermon, ‘With regard to tho edifive of St. George's church itactf, when cas(‘ug the eye over it, admiring tho varied colors Of the staineg lads Of ite large windows, the massive oak gullerios, the singular « Stuined gluse of the large windows. that the tight lon of the and surely interior of this church, how architectural appearance, rather too mild in point of light when the eyeballs are dim, and the words of truth and light must’ come through’ orbs long sparkling fire of youth. 8 futernally atid externally Cetect remedied, if thought necessary, at once.

It remaing to be seen whether the project will be carried out. ‘We have now four eteamship tines to California, running and announced to run; two by the Isthmus of Panama, one by the Jethmus of Nicaragua, and another by tho Isthmus of Tehuantepec, namely :— THE VANDERBILT LINE. ‘This line is comprised of the steamships Northern Light aud North Star, and conveys passengers by the Panama Railroad.

The lower state rooma also are being taken out, and standee berths put up instead, for the ac- commodation of that clase of passengers. These steamers will take the place of the presen United States mail ships after the lst of October, "The Baltic will be the pioneer ship. She will ave the Sth of October. Captain A. G.

It was con- fidently expected that the last California steamer would bring the ratifled contract.

With regard to this new line there have been, us veture stated, aeveral rumors and doubts in circulation. In thig respect it shared in the mystifications and hoodwinkings in which all the Commodores delight to indulge. It waz said, on the one hand, that the contract was not worth anything—that it was only got to be used as a sort of en- tering wedge for forcing @ passage across the isthmog under authority from the United States government. It was alleged that the contract, having several times aud in several different ways boen offered for sale © Vanderbilt, the United States and Pacific Mail companies, and de- clined upon any terms, showed the value placed upon it. It was stated further that neither of the particg named would accept the contract if offered them for nothing; that these parties, two of them (Vanderbilt and Pacific Mail), put in bids, and would have carried tha mails right along without apy interruption for a lita unused to the & handsome church, both ‘ely can easily have this one nally, 81 OF THIRTY-FOURTH STREET AND SIXTH AVENUE.

Toking his text trom 4 Mark, verse 28, “For che earth bringeth forth fruit of aerseit: first the biade, them tas after that the full corn im the ear,” verend Doctor entered upon an interesting and able vation of * growth,” as iiustrated ia the parable of ower, und the increase yielded therounto by the carth; that this entire process, from the sowing to the Cuil ear, Was growth, founded upon aud governed by the prineipies of nature. ‘The earth yields fruit and increase, not from its own power and strength, but tu obedience to the deciared will and command of God, when He said, ‘Let the earth bring forth fruit.’ The immutable law fixed by the Infinite mind gave form to chaos, life to matter, reasons of birth, aivancement to maturity and ite froite—ail steadily and harmoniously passing ou to tae harvest, as the biade to the fullear; all emanate from fa- finite detign, proceed by Tnfluite will, fixed laws, and at last arrive at that state of perfection essential to its ~— thering. There is nothing of the miracie in ali this, that would imply a special act of God in each and every Hage of progress. God said, “ Let there be light,” aud bght was, and has continued. Days and nights have come and gone, seasons have passed reguleriy onward til the ycar has traced ite fixed line, and then leaviug: the ster, lowering, dreary, fruitices winter (the shroud that bid the earth) has vab‘shed, and the sun, rising again ia ali his glory, the long slumbering germ (a beautifal typo of the resurrection that awaits map im the last) comes forth i all ite strength aud giory. ‘The second position of the argument was: their growth is not independent of God, but it is of mao. He may im- prove the pature and condisivn of the soil, select and Vit the seed, watch «a8 it begins to put forth the tender Dindes, guard i as the ear begins to develope itself, and look with jey upon the assurances of a bountiful harvest from the fuil corn in the car. But all his efforts may be baffled, his auticipatious blighted, by some unseen law of God. Nature would produce herself, in pursuance of God's com- mand—‘the earth shail bring forth her increase;” yetiabor is equally an imperative law. This simile of natare and its fruition ‘illustrates the kingdom of God in its progress upon the soul of man. It takes hold of the entire man, makes him submissive to God's will, bearing fruit t that will in due Beason. This growth is enforced by the hostile clemente of the soul. Conversion may be sincere, yet the mpd may be resting under prejudices, its faculties aud growth to perfection delayed by passions aud other hostile elements in its portions. ‘The Rev. Doctor then proceeded to examine tho spiritual growth of man from the commencement of light and kuowledge to his eventual submission tu the kingdom of Christ, and hence the establishment of new standards in ‘aw and morals. Through these the kingdom of God hath a visibie existence, and his kingdom here began continues under a law of growth. It is not yet fully manifested, bat through a steady growth and developement it will Saally be over all aud in all. It is the renovation of man that is to be developed. Evil must be rooted out; man must be born again. His nature, from and through a gradual growth in the knowledge of Christ, must be changed, aud in and by and through these changes is wrought out tas changes of Condition to himself and society. jach pro- gress has aiready attained; but when we at the Teal coucition of man, ag it is developed in socivty in our city, fearful indeed 8 the responsibility, imperative the call for spiritua! labor.

Tet us not be impatient because we do not possess those evidences of growth in all our Christian attributes we de- sire or expect, The season will come in its due time. Let us unitedy cherish ail the returns we have seen, aim zealously for the growth of the kingdom is us—in those around iis, in all portions of the world, and the time, the Larvest will come; for God bimseif hath spoken it, ‘The sermon was closed with an eloquent and vividly drawn imagery typical of the hour when Christ will enter in and gather the harvest of his kingdom from the earth. ‘The formula for the admission of new members was thea ied in, and the services finally closed with prayer wing the doxology. more than that paid the ‘‘great mail contractor,” but that the “lowest bidder” was accepted, and Danijel H. John- son, the “broker” of Joseph L. White & Co., was tha man to whom the contract was awarded, It was eaid that up to within afew days no ships had been bought or chartered for carrying the mails on either side, notwithstanding it had several times been an- nounced that the Hermann had been bought for the pioneer ship on the other side, and the Ericsson, or somo other ehip, for this side, so that no relia- ble arrangement had been made for carrying the mail after the two next trips—Sth and 20th inst. Capt. Wright, the owner of the Hermann, we are told, stated on Friday last that the H. bad not been bought, and probably would not be—certainly not that day, ifat all. To get across tha Isthmvs, we were also told, would be more difficult than THE LATE DR. ALEXANDER’S CHURCH (PRESBYTERIAN) FIFTH AVENUE. This church edifice, which is one of those grand brown stone piles of Gothic architecture, with a spiral steeple, is situated at the corner of Fifth avenue and Sixteenth street. It is but a short time since we announced the death of the venerable Dr. Alexander, the pastor, who for a long time occupied the pulpit with distinguished success, The re- porter who was despatched to record the proceedings yes- terdsy was informed that the church was temporarily closed, and would re-open the second Sabbath in Uctober; in the meantime it would undergo a thorough rejuvenating.

The Church is often ‘visited by the latter class, attracted thither by the novelty, and perhaps some of them to learn jescons ‘of plainness and unostentation in the cele- bration of religious services. The church, as we noted before, will re-upen next month, when a funeral service will be said to the memory of their late pastor. or river eveamers in readiness. The latest news from there—August 15—etated that tha. little river steamer Laura Frances left Greytown fort Granada and other ports up in the interior, .with passen~ gers and freight, on the morning of the 34; that when last heard from she was lying on the Machuca Rapids, unable to get up farther, All these reports, it is needless to say, are pronounced: false by the friends of the Nicaragua line. On the contrary, they assert that they have completed every arrangement to carry out the contract in its integrity; but that they were compelled to make every move secretly, becauss they found themselves headed off in all quarters by tha enemies of the line. It waa alleged that they could not carry passengers across the Isthmus under the Cass- Yriearri treaty; but in answer they point to the 14th section of that instrument, which guarantees protection ta the property and eitizens of the United States crossing the Isthmus by any route sanctioned by the government of Nicaragua. By reference to the advertisement of tha Company, it will bo seen that their first steamer is ans nounced to sail in due course on the 5th of October, from the foot of Canal street, with the mails, passengers aud freight for San Juan.

The inquest in the case of Martin Ryan, who died at Belleyue Hospital on Saturday from the effects of injuries rece' at the hands of John Allison, at 174 Rast Thirty- second street, on the 27th ult., was held by Coroner Jack- man yesterday, ‘The frat witness examined was Henry Ryan, eon of the. deceased, who testified as follows:—On Saturday evening, the 27th ult., my mother told me that Allison had cut tho clothes line; 1 went to bis door and asked him the reason why he did'so; he made noanswer, but jumped right upon me aud @truck ine With an axe several times; my father then came up to ny assistance, wheu Allison ‘struck Lim with the axe on the head; deceased fell tw the door; an olficer then came in and arrested the prisoner. Anne Kyav, wife of deceased, corroborated the testimo- ny of the previous witness, 'y Alison, wife of the prisoner, stated that deceased and his son first commenced the dilliculty by assaulting Allison with clubs. Dr. Phelps, house surgeon at Bellevue Hospital, testiflod to the cause of death, and described the wound ag bei one inch in diameter, just above the left temple; the skul was fractured and the broken pieces of the were driven into the brain. The case was then submitted to the jary, who, after due body and the Barings.
