Mr. Corbett is well known as a ‘sensation’ Methodist presoner, and his | sermon to the firemen of New York, delivered a year or two ago, may still be remembered. Tho sensation of yesterday, however, far surpaases anything before at- tempted in this city, exceeding even the Rev, Mr. Guin- bees’ mass meeting of sinners at the Academy of Music, in the interest it excited and the notice it attracted. The idea of euch @ copgregation was hardly original with Mr Corbett, but was doubtless borrowed from the reforma- tory attempt made in London a short time since, under the auspices of the Rev. Mr, Noel. A better locu'ion for preaching a sermon to such per- sons could hardly have been selected. fhe Rev, Mr. Corbett’s church is in Greene street, not far distant from the most notorious portion of the notorious Mercer stroet, ’ | and in the tmmediate vicinity of the up town settlemenis of small thievés, A walk up Broadway, down Canal, and through Greewe street, last evening, would have suf- | ficiently conviijccd an ordinary observer that all the “harlote’”’ wage certatuly not in thechurch.

To these qnestions no sat 'p anewer bse aa yet hoen given by the republicans, gay to whom victory will redound. ‘The vote of New London at the last Gubernatorial elec- tion was 691 for Buckingham (republican), and 578 for Pratt (democrat). This year the democrats count on an increase £0 large that if they do not add the feather which will break the camel’s back they will at least give bim al! ‘the load he can carry. Previous to the administration of Pierce the town was a8 strongly democraiic as it is now the other way; but with the abrogation of the Missouri compromise tue political wind suddenly veered about, and since that event the vane has been constantly pointed from the direction of republicanism. The democrats, however, take hope in the fact that they have constantly gained in | numbers, and are eventually, if not now, sure again to | predominate. They will experience a serious detriment | on Monday next, from the absence of many democrats | who follow the sea for a livelinood—the whaling and | coasting interests of the city employing a large namber | of seamen; but notwithstanding this, as I before remarked, they will accomplish an object of which they haveno | need to be ashamed. From the social and political history of the town, 1 should imagine that there is a certain class of the popula- tion here who are exceedingly liabie to an intermittent effervescence, a sort of measiy breaking out of enthasiasm on some particular subject which has its run like any other disease, and then quietly subsides. The consequence is thst the republican party of the town is made up of those who have surrendered themselves in turn to tem- perance, Know Nothingism, abolitionism, aud all the other fume calculated to distract and unsettle a community. ‘The last clement—of course the moat le of them all—still ae ‘and constitutes an important evidently oxiats certain republican editors in this locality, though manifested in another way; for, forgetting all the decencies of life which Should” charicterioo ‘even © tz, 10 Bay nothing of upon di deliver addresses during the cam) and publish false- hoods #0 gross and improbable tbat their only effect is to show the corruption of the source from which they x In other parts of the StateI have seen warmth and vigor of expression in the ne’ of both ; but here it has dwindled down toa yod im if it is the expression of lar which 7; large SP ee ts fears, infirmity and lack of “a Inre a to the probably no canvass has ever Deon conducted ‘on either aide with less animadver- sion upon private character than this; and on the part of the republicans, with more moderation in the discussing of the poticy of their party. They know ‘that they have edge tools among them which have required careful hand- ling, and that a few indiscrect words would drive hun- dreds of the conservative old line whigs into the demo- tic ranks. "pred. ‘Stanton has already done this to some extent in other parts of the State, by announcing himself in favor } of the equatter sovereignty doctrine of Douglas, opposed | to any agitation of the slavery question with a view to its | final settlement, and otherwise a good democrat. I know of a number of conversions which have taken place under | his preaching, and he has evidently proven a bitter pill to the republicans, which, being in hand, must be dis- | posed of as best it can.

It means simply that any 0’ thees poor men shall be saved when macadamaized old hypocrives— jy are thousands of tom in the church—who, when they see a poor ragged boy in the streets, wo) give him a cent to save bis life, shall go down to make fuel for hell fire, That’s what it means. The publicans were considered the worst men out of hell, but what a ‘ime Christ makes over Lacebeus, a publican, and how much better was the publican than the putfed up Paarisee in the temple, But Christ came not only to publicans, but, toank God, to those whom the world calls the worst of women. You remember that woman ment oned in this good old book, who came to Christ, while he was at meat in a Phariseo’s house, and anointed and kissed his feet. Then the old Phariseo commenced to try to detract from the woman’s conduct ae neeae her past !ife. He was a type of some men in the church now. [ say it, and you may write it upon the heaveng and light it with God’s ‘street lamp, that such men are the cause of so much orime in our city. When a thief becomes penitent we are ways = road, to bring up his past life. God forgive us for our unchar! tablenees! My friends, I have not asked you here to blackguard you or to send you to hell, but to encourage you. In conclusion, ig any saying ‘God be merciful to me asinner!’? ©, remember that Christ came not to tho righteous, but to sinners. None are precluded from his race. ‘Whosoever will may drink of the water of life reely.”” There lives not a man in this world for whom the of my Jesus did not bleed and break. Is there apy here ready, ike this Magdalen, to bow down to Christ and kiss thos feet which never moved but on errands of mercy? Your life is not happy, my child; it is full of danger, usy, care aod @arm. When the revel is past, when midnight is gone, when you lie upon pone couch alone, and when you think in the pale mornlight of your home and your mother, whom Perhaps you promised to meet in heaven, don’t you then wish that you were a Christian? But what delays you? You answer, “What would become of me?’” God says that your bread and water shall be sare. If your relatives shut the door in your face, God will raise mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters for you in the church. He who feeds the ravens and clothes the lillies will provide for you. 0, if I never meet you again on earth, may I meet you in heaven!

It is now definitely fixed that the spring epera season will commence simultaneously at the Academy and the Winter Garden on next Monday. The Academy artists givo their farewell representations in Philadelphia this week. The opening opera at Irving Place will be ‘ Don Pasquale,” with Adelina Patti, Brignoli, Ferri and Susini—certainly ® great distribution. Signor Muzio will resume his post as conductor. Miss Patti has not yet sungin “ Don Pasquale,” and thero will bea great deal of curiosity to hear her in it. The réle is one very well suited to her. ‘The Winter Garden management will bring out Fabri and the new tenor Errani, the first night, but the opera has not been fixed upon. The German theatre seems to flourish bravely in the metropolis. In addition to the’ Stadt theatre, Bowery, and numerous smaller establishments on the eastern side of the city, there has lately been given a series of German Performances at the French theatre. The representations given here last week brought out the first Teutonic Society, as wore informed. The novelty of the woek was @ comedy upon the ‘‘Tartuffe’ model, and was very successful. The last representation of the Present season will be given on Friday of thie week. A new subscription for twenty-four representations has al- ready been opened. At the Stadt theatre the latest novelty has been a local comedy-drama, entitled “« Heart and Dollar,” writ. ten by M. Cohnheim. The plot is as follows:—A wealthy merchant residing in the Fifth avenue intends to marry his only daughter to a Chevalier d’ Industrie, who gained admission into his house under the pretence of being a nobleman; the daughter refuses to accept him, being in love with her cousin, who is bookkeeper for his uncle, Enragod at the disobedience of his child, the millionaire turns them both out of his house, she finding refuge with some poor relations living in the suburbs. At last, when the Count is found only to be a pretender, and the nephew 4#A4.40 annartunity to rescue his uncle from drowning, the couple. The play bas been very euccessful, The French theatre is closed for the present. Tho ha- bitues will regret to learn that M. Frederic Maunstein has retired altogether from the management. The English theatres have not been doing a very great ‘business. The Irish drama has been in the ascendent at Niblo’s and Laura Keene’s, the Franco American at Wal- lack’s, and the unadulterated sentimental Arcadian at the Winter Garden. Mr. Bourcicault’s ‘Colleen Bawn” has been fally accepted by the public, and will have one of the long runs of the season. The illustrious Barnum opened his Museum on Saturday, and was visited by a great crowd. The Museum is one of the most entertain- ing places of public amusement in the world. It is en- tirely unique, and Barnumesque in every detail. The theatrical company is very fair. Mr. E. F. Taylor is a good stage manager, and has some clever artists, among whom we may mention Mrs. J. J. Pryor (a capital actreas in domestic drama), Miss Mestayer, Mr. Grace, Mr. C. W. Clarke, and Mr. Hadaway. Bourcicault’s “Jennie Deans’ is in the bills for this week. ‘The series of military concerts this season, inaugurated by the début of the Seventh Regiment National Guard (new) band at the Academy of Music last February, and which was subsequently repeated under the auspiecs of the Mercantile Library Association, has met with general public favor. In continuation of this series, the Seventy- first regiment (Dodworth’s) band gave agrand concert at the Cooper Institute on Saturday night, under the aus- pices of Company B of that regiment. The name of Dod- worth’s band is sufficient in itself, under ordinary circum- stances, to attract a large audience, but on this occasion they had the prestige of the patronage of one of our “crack” military. organizations. The large hall of the Institate was comfortably filled; probably two thousand persons were present. In addition to the military band the following artists appeared:—S. B. Mills, pianist; L. Bobrieber, cornet-a-piston; Henry Appy, violinist; Mr. Millard, tenor; Samuel Meigs, baritone. Tho perfor- mances and general arrangement of the affair wore un- exceptionable, as the applause and encores of the au- dience fully established. The concert of the new Seventh Regiment Band, at Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, proved a great success, and notwithstanding many counter attractions, Plymouth Church was well filled. The Band, consisting of forty members, under the leadorship of C. S. Graffula, perform- ed their selections admirably. Miss Brainerd assisted, and sung with much spirit andeflect. Hor pieces were all deservedly encored, and that in a most enthusiastic man- ner. The other assistants, and the entire programme, gave gencral satisfaction. A repetition is talked of. ‘The programmes at the several theatres will contain no novelties during this (Passion) week—naturally ono of the most distressing to managers in the whole year. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams will remain at Nibio’s six nights longer, and bring out some of their most popular plays. At Wallack’s, the last six performances of the ‘Romance of a Poor Young Man” are announced. It is understood that this play will be replaced by a new piece, from the pen of Mr. Brougham. The public will be glad to welcome the return of so clever a dramatist as Mr. Brougham to the fleld where he has won so many successes. At Laura Keene’s thea- ire the ‘Colleen Bawn”’ will be given every night this week. At the Winter Garden Miss Kate Bateman will appear in “Evangeline” every evening, closing her en- gagement on Saturday. ‘At the New Bowery to-night a new piece, founded upon Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities,”’ will he produced. At the old Bowery Mr. Eddy, who has been playing a very sac/ cessful engagement, appears to-night in “Jean Renny,” @ very effective mejodrama. At Bryant’s Minstrels they have a new burlesque Bs . Horn and Jerry Bryant, and suggested by “ Stranger.’’ George Christy's colored ‘“‘Toodles” draws houses to Niblo’s Saloon, and will therefore remain in bills for the present. Full particulars as to all thes entertainments may be found elsewhere. Wo have been requested to state that Mr. Charles Fawoett was the origi nal author of the drama called ‘Willy O'Reilly,” lately produced at Niblo’s Garden. ‘The Directing Senate of St. Petersburg has published the following decision, sanctioned by the Emperor:— “Foreign females who marry Russian subjects from that fact Russian sa ; although they have not token any oath of ; hesbanes they may, 3 they pationabty, in the order prescribed by the clvil onde, and without being compelled to pay the tax for three years, as. set forth by that code.” | ARRIVAL OF THE BAVARIA.

The Emperor has received a deputation from Savoy. FRANCE. ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE POPE—CONTINUED AGI- TATION IN ROME—POSITION OF THE FRENCH ARMY IN THE ETERNAL CITY, ETC. The London 2¥mes Paris correspondent writing on the evening of the 16th sa; It is thought that the Prince of Carignan will be Go- vernor General of Tuscany, unless, indeed, the Imperial idea of a separate State—an “autonomous” one—be car. ried out. ‘There is great wrath hero against the Pope. that his Holinces has issued 1 than the “Encyclical’’ on t+ seen the document, but the somari anid tn haw make the famous pam This means that of all/ to the Pope, and the q nals the contemplation . .. ments, prayers in the churches, &c.

Unfortu- nately these negotiations will not, it is feared, lead to any result. . The crisis will therefore be only postponed for a few days. The annexation of Central Italy to Piedmont is everywhere accepted with the greatest enthusiasm. ‘This great event will be celebrated here by fétes of all kinds.
