The arrival of the Arago at this port last night puts us in porsersion of European files to tie 30th ult. The news concerning the progress of the Si cilian revolution is confirmatory of that previously received, That Garibeldi is waster of Patormo and making good progress towards the snbjugation of the entire isiand cannot longer be questioned. So contradictory and unsati-factory are the Neapolitan official despatches upon this point, that they are re ceived with great distrust or altogether discarded by the London journals, By the Niagara, now pearly due at Halifax, we shall have three days later intelligence, which will doubtless give us some more positi nd decisive information rela. tive toGaribatdi’s movements. The Great Eastern undoubtedly ssiled for New York on Satarday last. By the bark Dawn, Captain Chase, which arrived here yesterday from Buenos Ayres, we are in pos- session of nearly ® month's later dates. The Dawn has made the passage from port to portin the an- precedented time of thirty-six days. Tho dates she brings are to the Sth ult, the day of her sail- ing. The Legis'ative Chambers of Buenos Ayres were opened on May 1. On the 2d General Mitré was elected Governor, and on the 3d he was daly ipetalled in office. The new government, wi e told, was inaugoreted with great unapimity, and the prospects for the country are looking bight. In cur correspondence will be found some interest ing account of the public upprovements ta the Ar- aneasiness in Urnguay and Paraguay, so much so that warlike prep jons are ip progreas. In Congress yesterday the Seuate discussed the report of the Printiog lnvestigatiog Commit tee end the Civil Appropriation bill. In the Huse the Post Office and Fortification Appropriat on bill» were passed. The evening session was occupied with debate on the Naval Appropriation bill. Both houses have come to a dead lock on the Homestead bill, and the subject will be committed to a new Committee of Conference, There is no probability of Congress adjourning on the 18th—the session ‘will doubters Le extended to the middie if not the end of Joly. The delegates to the Democratic Southern Se. ceders’ Presidential National Convention met at Rich mond, Va., at noon yesterday, and organized by selecting ex<iovernor Lubbac, of Texas, for chairuian. All the seceding States, except Dela ware, were represented. A party from New York representing themeclves as delegates from Ne tional Hall, presented credentials, and asked to be admitted to the Convention, The Committee on Credentials, however, reported adversely to their admission, but the Convention allowed them the courtesy of seats io the Convention, as eympathiz lng friends of the cause. No business of impor tance transpired in the Convention. They will probably adjourn over to await the action of the Baltimore Convention. The Board of Aldermen met last evening. The Ceatral Park Commissiovers sent in a communica tion stating thatthe expenditures on account of the Park for the current year would amount to the fam of $833,000; that $250,000 of that sum has already been anthorized, and suggesting that, owing to the favorable condition of the money market, an isene of stock for the full amount te- quired be suthorized. The eubject was referred to the Finance Committee, The Mayor sent ina message vetoing the ootion of the Boerd aathor- izing the laying owt of Mouvt Morris square, The Board concurred with the Councilmen in appoint ing @ joiat comwmiviee to make arrangements for the celebration of Independence Poy. A commu nication was receired from the Corporation Conn Pel relative to aseesving owners of property for paving streets wih Belgian pavement A synop tis of the document is given in our report of the proceedings. ‘There wes 0 great deal of rootine business trans. feted by the Board of Counciimen last evening, as will be een by our report of the proceedings. A roport Of fhe Committee on Wharves, Piers and Blips whe adopted. euthorizing the Comptrolier to wettle with Heury Concklin, contractor for the Bat- tery enlargement, and also directing the Street ‘ommnissioner to advertise for proposals to com* plete the unfinished work, excepting 200 feet on ‘he southeasterly part for the use of George Law's terry. Mr. Pinckney characterized the scheme as fo outrage and a robbery opon the city. The names of the members who voted for the measare are given in our report. An instance of exemplary and immediate panich ment of desperate crime, worthy of imitation by The usval daily mecting of the Excise Commla- | sioners took place yesterday, but only one applica. | tion for a license was received, which was granted on the paymeut of thirty dollars. This makes 4 | total of 160 ficenses granted this year, But half | of (he lifty meeting have yet been held. According to the City Luspector's report there were 356 deaths in the city during the past week, » decrease of 32 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 25 less than occarred during the corresponding week last year. The re- capitulation table givedg? deaths of diseases of the bones, joints, &c., 64 of the brain and nerves, 10 of | the generative organs, 15 of the heart and blood vessels, 64 of the lungs, throat, &c.,5 of old age 56 of diseases of the skin end eruptive fevers, 7 still- born and premature births, 63 of diseases of the stomach, bowels and other digestive organs, 38 of genera! fevers, 1 onknown, and 20 from violent causer. The nativity ble gives 210 natives of the Uened States ,70 of Ireland, 36 of Germany, 7 of Evglend, 2 of Scatiand, and the balance of various foreign countries.

The last advices from that port stated that the assault would take place on the 27th of May. There is some confusion io the dates just received, but from a despatch contained ia one of the Paris jourpals it is to be jaferred that the astault took place on the previous dey. We bave no means of judgiog, from the scauty information before us, of the extent of tbe loss sustained by the liberals. From the skilful military dispositions made by General Lanza, bowever, it is probable that it was very severe. The aitack on the city seems to have been aléed from within, for we learn through an Englich steamer, which arrived at Naples on the 29tb, that 4 considerable pertion of the townspeople bad risen in revolt. An active bombardment of the city had been commenced on Sunday morning, the 27th, by the Neapoll tan troops As thie fs stated to have taken piace both by sea and land, it would ap- pear that General Lanza bad not made any effort to embark bis men. He is probably entrenched ta the neighborhood of the city, awaiting a chance of either repairing his tl) success or of getting off the force under his command without further loss. His object, now that Palermo is captured, will be to has ten to the relief of Messina. This caa ouly be done by sea, as all tbe roads are in possession of the insurgents, and be will hardly risk Girht- ing bie way through them with such a leader as Garibaldi banging on his rear, The qnes- tion is, whether be can succeed in getting off to bis verrele now that the port is in possession of the liberals? If bis troops are demoralized to the extent which bis defeat with so strong a force as that onder his command would imply, the probabilities are that the next steamer will bring us the news of bis capitulation. The results of this victory are fatal to the royal cause. Messina and the other towns, which were held by a system of terrorism, only awaited the fall of Palermo to declare for Gv ribaldi, Even the military and police, by which they were garrisoved, were kaoown to be #0 disaffected to the government that it was confidently expected tha’, as soon as the news of the capture of Palermo reached them, they would at once unite with the inhabitants in hoisting the national colors. By this time, therefore, we may calculate that the whole of the istand has been won over to the caase of the revolution. Tons wigare terminated, 80 far as Sicily is concer aed, one of the briefest but most glorious struggles that has ever been fought in the name of liberty. The effect of this news on the main land and at Neples will be as disastrous ae half « dozen military defeats, It will exercise an electric influence on the popalation of Calabria, already impatient for a rieiog, and itis not likely that they will await the arrival of Garfbald! with his little band of patriots. Calabria once tm arms, the flames of revolt will spread with lightning ra- pidity northward, and the kingdom of Naples will be won by the influence of a name alone, Ere the hero of Varese places his foot on the mainland, the dominions of the Bourbons will have been wrested from their grasp, and these fair possessions will He at the diepoeat of a man who, from being a nameless adventarer, has rieen to the foremost place in the respect and admiration of the world, Were his personal ambiuen equal to his daring, we have no doubt that th: gratitude of the people whom he has Libersied would accord biu the highest dignities ia ther power to bestow. Lis work sccumplished, 4» the copeolidation of the entire Italian peop! effected, he will, however, like Ciasianaty seek the modest retirement which forms th mort appropriate termination of 80 disialerested and glorious # career, It will be curious to rote the effect which thls prompt succees of the Sicilian insurrection, and the results by which it will be followed io Naples, will have oo the French ministeria, pieer, We eurpect that the rapidity of its pro grees will have somewhat derauged the cs)culaticns of Louls Napoleon, There fre no longer any meena of keeping Garibaldi in the background,,and depre- clating bis services, a8 in the Italian campaign. If the Euperor has secretly encouraged the | preeent movement, as is suspected to be the case, he bas made @ grand political mistake | Lt has made Garibaldi s coarbiter of the des. Unies of contipental Europe with himseif. Should Napoleon, therefore, have counted on carrying out bis dynastic views in regard to Naples by the ald of the’ revolutionary leader he will have outwitted himself, He will find that, when the fature political allocation of thai kingdom comes to be decided upon, the voice of Garlbaidi will be as potent ia determiaing it os bis own. RevoLeTion ty JaPaN—ASSaSSiNATION OF THE Rrarnt.—The community was startled yester- day with the announcement of the news, re ceived by telegraph and overland mail from San Francisco, of the assassiuation of the Prince Regent of Japan, and the fears of a revolution in Jeddo. The subject acquires a greater inte rest from the presence among ns of the first Embassy that has ever been seat abroad by the government of that empire, It is well known that ever since the appear- ance of Commodore Perry in the Japanese wa- tera two parties have existed in that country. | Que of these fuvored the idea of Intercourse with foreigners and the openiog of their ports to commerce, while the otber advocated the exolnsive policy which has so long characte. rized that country and China. The conflict be- tween the two has frequeatly interfered with and retarded the negotiations of our Minister, Mr. Harris, and even afier it had been deter mined to send an embassy to Washington, o cbange of policy was effected, and for a time it was doubiful whether it would ever leave ibe shores of Niphon. A compromise was at last effected, and the Embassy now here was sent out, consisting of one re presentative of each of the two parties ia the empire, both of whom are to make their re- spective reports on their return. On the policy of the Embassy in tts later. course with our government the recent oocnr- rence can have no effeot, fuasmuch as all the questions that were to have been treated—the tigning of anew copy of the first treaty, av understanding with our government as to the anticipated designs of Russia towards Japan, and some arrangement of the currency ques- tion—bave all been discussed, and the Rubassy bas taken formal leave of the President. It fr now merely passing the time in taking no'es preparatory to its departure, in order that it may make a report on the country, Yankee no- tions and civilization in general, aud receiviog the public attentions that have been tendered to ft. We have not yet learned what effect the late news has bad upon the members, but it would not be surprisiog if it should diminish their disposition to attend public festivities and accept the attentions which there is so much desire to show them. Tur Action or Congress —Eikc toxkenine aT Tue Persic Exrexse —We publish to day a vésumé of the labors achieved by Congress thus far during the present session, by which our readers will see how little ueeful labor has been performed by the set of peliticians who, by getting hold of the existing corrupt and debased politica? organizations, have wormed tbemeelves into the legislative seats. Almost the whole of the time of Congress since it came together in. December has been oceup with the most open and flagrant elec- tiopeering, in order to affect, one way or the other, the political prospects of the several party cliques. For many weeks the ultra black republicans in the House tried to place one of their partisaas of the Belper stripe ia the Speaker's chair, After their defeat in this, they bave been continually manufacturing bills of @ political and impracticable charac- tor, such as the Homestead hill, the Tarlff biti, and others, for the sole purpose of creating contests with the Senate end raising some question for local effect. In the meantime the true business of legislation--the re vision and codification of an incongruonr mees of revenue laws, the passage of the bills for the neceseary sppropriations to carry on the government, the adoption of measures to render our small navy equal to the exigencies of our growing commerce, and numerous other subjects of great national importance—have been compelied to lag along till the approach of the end of the session warrants the excuse of giving them the go by because there ts not time to attend to them, or else they are taken up piecemeal and ta a very incomplete man- ner. The state of things In the Senate has been little or no better. There a demooratic majori- ty hae been engaged during the whole session ina violent attempt to commit party suicide in which it bas very nearly succeeded. Mean while the treaties with foreign nations have been abandoned to neglect, or else made the occasion of political and personal attacks by Senators on each other, and a studied system of thwarting the adwinistration which it pre tends to support has been practised. Mr. Bu chanan was first made an object of attack, because he was suspected of favoring some one of the ambitious and intriguing politi cal cliqnee, and when it was found that he favored none of them, the attacks were continued because he did not do #0. The reet of the session is likely to be con sumed in conferences, ostensibly intended t eettle differences purposely created, and which it is not meant shall be removed. On the Re venue bill we are likely to have a dead lock One side insists upon the passage of an imma ture tariff meseure, combined as @ political trick, as the price of its consent that the debts of tbe government shall be paid, and the other refases to commit euch an act of folly. Meanwhile the country pays the piper for this dance of the politicians. They talk now ‘journing on the 18th fnstant, without of # finlehing the work nece:sary for the carrying on of the government, and if they do so the President will be compelled to issue bis proclamation calling them togetber again on the expiration of the oonatitutional term of thirty days, SertLeMenT OF 18% Curmese War—Dawy or 4 New Pournca, Exa is tHe East— The unexpected manner in which the Chinese difficulties with England and France have ter- mingted proves that the imperialists must be ina bad way. The victory which they had won on the Peibo, over the combined forces of the two Powers, would, it was expected, have rendered them rather indisposed to come to terms. Witb eo vainglorious and conceited a people an sdvantege of this sort would, in fact, bave had that tendency, but for the pres- ture of other circumstances, Ji bas been known for come time past that the rebellion was rapidly gaining ground, and even Shangbse and Canton have been alarmed by the close proximity of the insurgents. It Is the fear of the laiter’s entering into a treaty with the foreigners that has decided the impe- rial government to accept the ultimatum offer- ed to it, It haa, tn fact, become a question with it of existence, or of the eacrifice of its ab- surd prejudices. It bas prudently resolved upon the jatter; for it is well aware that the progreesive epirit which bas led to the present vprising emopget so large a portion of the population would speeaiiy find its advantage in coming to an accommodation with govern- ments who could give them such effective ald from without. It is not probable, however, that theee tardy concersione, important though they are, will avail the prerené dynasty much. It hasfor cen: turies maintained the same conflict of force against public opinion which has wrecked so many polilical systems and thrones. Is is im. poseible thut the effete A-iatic governments can withstand for avy length of time the contac! with European civilization. The struggle which they evccersfully maintain with their subjects, only because of their imperfect appreciation of the true principles of government, at once turne to their disadvantage when the laiter have an opportunity of studying the policy and uauges of Christien nations. It was not so much the arms of Evglaud that won her Hindostan as the leseong that were derived from her system of rote, unprincipled and oppressive though it frequently wae. It is to the same copflict of opinion that may be attributed the assassination of the Regent of Japan Contact with the Americana had opened the eyes and enlarged the mind of the old Empe- ror,and he favored the views of.the progres tive parly, to whose efforts we owe the pre sence of the first political mission ever sent to a foreign country. His liberality won for hi» party the hatred of the old fossils of the court, and it was hoped that. in depriviog the preseat Regent of life, an end woald be pat to the projects of reform with which the old av@ new reigns were identified. Luckily the friends of progress proved too strong for them, and they were promptly made to pay the penalty of their crime. The event itself will probably exercise a beneficial influ- ence on the proepects opened to us by the pre- cert Pmbasey. The indignation exciced by it cannot fall to aid the effect of the reports that will be made by the Embassy on their return. In spite, therefore, of all efforts to control and suppress tt, public opinion amongst the Asi- atic populations will succeed in emancipating itself and in gaining ite victories, just as it has triumphed over similar obstacles amongst the Western natfons. What have been the con- tests which bave divided and torn Europe since the Middle Ages but conflicts of opinion? From the time when feudal customs received their death blow down to the wars of liberation undertaken In our own day, the European po- pulations have been fighting for the same prin- ciples which are just now begianing to dawn ep the Chinese and Jepanese mind. Rowpyism ty Tue Great Crrms.—The ia- creare of rowdyiam in our great cities is getting to be an alarming argument agaiast our institutions, of rather a strong commentary upen the inefliciepey of the persons chosen to preserve the public peace. The rowdy ele- meut exists in all greet cities, and can only be repressed by military power, asin Eurepe, or by that inpate love of order and natural self- respect which it is the end and alm of constitu. tional governments to foeter and cultivate. Ia this country there are certain insupera- ble objections to the employment of troops to put down mobs; but recent demonstrations would seem to indicate that sooner or later the law must assert its majesty la some effective way. The reception of the Japanese at Phila- de\phia is & case in point. There the usual order of things was reversed. The barbarians, ae we call them, seemed to be the only really civilized persons in the crowd. The Corpora- tion authorities deserve severe reprehension for exposing the Embassy to the taunts, jeers aad insulta of scurvy fellows who ought to have been in the penitentiary, and the whole affair, from beginning to end, was o shame and a dirgrace to Philadelpbia—a city which makes more claim to decency, and with the smallest foundation, than any other in the country. It has been reserved for the “goverping classes” of the Quaker City to prove themseivee the worst blackguards whom the Japenese have yet encountered. It may be that if the procession arranged for this city is not done away witb, on account of the rumored death of the Regent, that the example of the Philadeipbia rowdies will be imitated by their confreres in this city. The police should have epecial orders to crush out any euch demonstration at the earliest pos sible moment. Ii ix bad enongh to bring the Japanese in contact with the Alder men, bat to mbject them to the coarse jokes and impndent intrusion of the friends and supporters of our City Fathers is going one step too far. Will the Police Commis sfoners take especie! pote of the fact that the Japanere have only marrowly cecaped the Soy lla of the Washington women to fall upon the Charybdis of Philadelphia rowdyism, and so take care that thay are protected during their stay in the metropolis. Ratrrrcation oF Lixcoty sr tire Revore- Tiowaky ApoLttionisrs,—The revolutionary abo- litionists of the Garrison echool have deolared their preference for Lincoln over Seward in some very strong language and resolutions, at the Anti Slavery Convention held in Boston the other day. Wendell Phillips thanks God that Wm. HI. Seward was rejected, and thinks ita good sign. Te ts not satiofied with Mr. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE. 12, 1860.—TRIPLE SHEET. . Seward's views of the irrepressible conflict; und though be dors not epeak very giowiegly of “honest Old Abe's” abclitiontam, -yet he pours out relerated thanks to Heaven that there was life enough left in the North for Chicago to say to the New York Senator, “You are too dirty.” The tsaoguuge of the abolition- fete on this occasion was about as violwnt a4 usual. Once speaker declared that riavehoid- ing individuals or slave States bave no rights — aseentiment which avotber speaker, Rev. Mr. Pierrepont, provovnced as too mild, dectaciong that » elaveholder had not the right to breathe 8 breath of Gody free atmosphere. Mr. Sew- ard is evidently not in good odor with the re. volutionary abolitionists who diseeminate these philanthropic sentimentse—not, perbape, be- cause Mr. Lincoln is quite up to their mark eliber, but because they think they can ure him better for mischief and revolution. Waar tex Covone Ixvestication 43 Brovgar To Licut.—The evidence takea betore the Covode committee for the last two days bas been of a very curious cb: , and has served still farther to develope the schemes, intrigues and bargainings of the politicians of both parties, while it does not in the least effect the integrity of the administration, against which the investigation is levelled. The evidence of Mr. Haskin, for example, on the Lecompton question, clearly demonstrates thet there was nothing improper on the part of the President during the interviews which Has- kin and cthers bad with him. The President expreseed his opinions on that subject very firmly, as he is accustomed to do genersliy, we believe, and be endeavored by argument co im- prees the wisdom of those opinions upon Mr. Harkip, but notbirg more, The substance of the evidence of Mr, Brown, of Philadelphia, ‘amounts to about this: that Forney wauted to be placed at the bead of the Kitchea Cabines, where he was in poor Pierce's time, and to get the mansgement of the administration organ at Warbtngton, after bis disappointment in search of a eeat ip the United States Sepate. That ap- pears to bave been his price for supporting the administration; but whether he was not wanted at Warhington, or for some otber rea- sop, he did pot get the management of the organ end the sbare of the priating spoila he expected. Piobably there wes a negotiation going on between him and the black republicans at the tame time, which Mr. Haskin might be able to teli something about if he was asked, and it may be that Forney got bis price in thet quar- ter. The black republicans, no doubt, agreed to make bim Clerk of the Touse, which agree- ment they have fulfilled, and probably to give biw the public printing, or mske bim Post maater General, if they should sucseed in elect ing the next President. These intrigues and bargainings among all parties the Covode iavea- tigation has brought to light, and that is about all it has done. It bas sbown, however, that Jobn B, Haskin was tbe master manager in this whole Lecompton busivess. The conspiracy, it seeme, wae batched im bie house, and it is to his tect in roping in the twenty-five members— who bave now dwindled down to about o dozen, owing to some wrangling among them- seives—that the anti-Lecompton faction owes ite birth, Mr. Haskin’s tact and energy heave been 80 wonderfully developed only since he joined the church; but it must have been the cburch militant to which be allied bimself— probably Henry Ward Beecher’s—for the re- cords of Copgrees show that he carries carnal wcapops upon his person. Mr. Harkin and his friends are now using Douglas for the benefit of the black republi- cans. Under the garments of Dovgias and Le- compton, they are intriguing for Lincoln and black republicanism. They bave succeeded in getting up a fight in the democratic party, and they hope, by urlng the Influence of Haskin in New York, snd Hickman and Forney in Pena- sylvania, to carry these two States for Lincolo, and they may bave a fair chance of doing it if | the democrats nominate two candidates. Witt No One Assavit Sumveut—The black | Tepublicans are very anxious to get some one ; assault Mr. Sumner. They get a drunken | man to go into his room and taik tipsy non- | sense to him, and then deluge the country with rumore of an attempted assassination, and 90 forth—-get two members of Congress, the Mayor of the federal capital and any number of police to protect the Massachusetts Senator, and make a great fuss generally. Itis not at all likely that any foolish fellows from the South will again attack Mr. Sumner for any- thing he may say. It ts far more probable that they will let him rave om unnoticed; but why | could not the thing be done by subscription! | A large reward might tempt some “murderous roftian,” eay from the South, out of funds and ravenous for whiskey, to do the thiog up hand- romely, Let the black republicans by ali means get up a contribution for the purpose. The thing is quite feasibie. Revival AMoxe Tae YacuTsmen—New axp Imrortant Racks 10 Come Orr.— As we apprised our readers yesterday, the recent discussion in the press and elsewhere as to the true eseence and spirit of yachting bas stirred up a number of the members of the Ciub, and they are making arrangements for several very interesting con- teste, The most important of there will be o | sweepstakes regatta, to be sailed on the 2d of | July, before the summer cruises commence. | It is proposed that this shall be a sort of Ocean | Derby, free for all yuchts, pilot boats and | coasting scbooners that choote to enter. The | course to be from Sandy’ Hook to the light | ebip off Cape May and back; the yachts to | sail in classes by themselves for one prize, the pilot boats and schooners in classes by them- telvee; the start to be simultaneous, and the race conducted under the ra’es of the Club. The appearance of the swift pilot boats and schooners in the Ocean Derby will make the race interesting to everybody, as ft has been often alleged that some of these vessels can beat the fastest yachts in the squadron. The “George Steers” pilot boat will have an op- portanity to show her qualities against the schooners of the yacht fleet In addition to thie, the Rebecca has recetved and accepted two challenges—one from the sloop Scud, to eail to day from Hoboken to the Southweet Spit end back, and the other froma new sloop, the Charlotte, to sail around Long Island. The particulars of the last race will be made public in a few days. Among other mat- ters agitated in the Club is the project of a club houre up town, where yachting men from abroad and from other parts of the country might recetve the boepitalities of ther metro- politan gonfreres. Such a movement would oul- three | Ee ee — - Mivate tho epirit of yeobting xo4 Felocd much to the fame of tho Club, both mere and ia Bu~ rope.

The agiaiion of all these subjects shows that we sre to ave a epinited yachting season, and by another year We expec! to see w Quasidera- ble addition to the equadron, aad an in petus given to the sport euch as it never has had ia this country.

Tus Gasar City Civitizsn,—We have heard for many years « great deal of utter nonsense abdcut the civilization of the nineteenth cen- tury, and bave found the facts 89 entirely op- pored to the theories of the phUliosophers, whe fondiy think that everything is going weil, be cause they are walking about the world with their eyse but, and so cannot eee auything wrong, that we bad pretty nearly lost our faite in the “progress of the age,” 80 far us the diminution of orimes »gainst society is con- cerned. The tact of the matter ia, that crime of all kinds bas been steadily increasing in the metropolis, notwithstanding the efforis of the Tract Society, the parsons and philsstbropisw generaliy. The religious world hoped to pu rify the body politic with good, strong dosee of theological blue pill. So, as the city progressed in wealth, the fine churches muitiplied. Dives came down liberally, and splendid religioa: edifices were erec\ed in fashionable localities White marble and brown stone took the piace of the red bricks of old tims, the light of Il+s veu shone on the faitbfal turongh rose tinted windows, the pareon’s Growsy ham was borne through an atmosphere redolent of Paris perfumes, the genius of the osbiaet maker and upholsterer was taxed to its utiaoss to devise rare and ourivns patieras for iho sacred furniture, the Bibles, bymn and prayer books were resplendent in Turkey moroooe an@ gold, the pew cushions were Juxurions av the divans of Oriental princes. Altogether, the road to beaven was built on a down grade, aud through a champegne country. But notwithetanding all this—not withstanding the fact that we paid the parsons twice as mash as before, and consequently they were in daty bound to rave double the former nnmber of soule— things have grown vo betier very fas We otiil hear of murders, midnight assaulis, rowdy brawls among the lower classes, and aa occasional defalcation higher ia the social scaie. On the one hand the poorer classes ave deworalized by drink, by baing crowded into holes in which no gentleman would put his dog, by being shut: out from the light of Heaven, and deprived of the pure sir—God's free gift to all—and on the other, the struggte fo place, position, and, above all, money, brea® down all the safeguards of moral priasi/*. aud rends the victim headlong into the ys of crime. / In this state of things we look aboy for & new civilizer, comething to refiae erate ull classes, the rich and the poor alike aul we fod it in the Central Park. That yao public work, now just to the full glory of its future, is working silent revolution among us—a revolution o Which the merely superficial observer can 4*7@ 00 ides. The work isan art monumes in itvelf Its brosd roads, tasteful bridges delightfal promenades, delicious views, m&e up au en- semble not to be equalled in the World. On fine Sunday the Park is a grap church, where tens of thousands of the ov worked populs- tion of the metropolis asseable to worship the Deity through the sincereg form of adoration, homage to the beautify in its grandest de- velopement. Here we may see ail classes of society represented, allphasees of city life typi- fied; but there is n¢ invidious disiinotion, Liberty, equality andfrateruity reign. There any kind. There is cheerful gayety, the prasile of children, the silrer laughter of women, the merry shout of the young maa, and the self- ratisfied chuckle of the veteran. The eye rests on’ the nineteenth century shepherdesses aud modern cavaliers, moving dgures in « splendid landscape which the pencil of a Claude or a Watieau would have loved to paint The wenses are soothed, the heart delighted, aad the men, woman or child leaves the Park wita @ thousand sweet regrets and the conscious- ‘esd of having beon made better aad purer by its influences. Decidedly the true city civilizer ja the Central Park.
