This js a subject of much interest to the public, and involves \he question whether Newark Bay shall be improved of a ship caval con- structed across Bergen Point, in ord@ to shorten the dis- tance for heavy transportation betwien New York and Newark, \ The Finances. It is reported here that the Messrs. Astor, of New York, owners of some $40,000,000 of real @tate in that city, are now engaged in bringing their {ifluence to bear in opposition toany material contraction ¢f the currency, and the more especially to prevent any pf those violent and spasmodic measures on the part $f the Treasury which produced such » panicin Novembé. There is no doubt but that the convulsions of the money market at that time were unforeseen by the Secretary and regretted by him, as he has repeatedly expressed a lesire to make ‘and keep the market steady, His chief eror consisted in not providing, in advance, for the heavy demands for currency to have been anticipated in November, both on account of the large gold interest paid out and the re- moval of the crops, With moderate cautionand a little foresight, the tone of the market will soon ncover from its undue extreme depression, and with soméadvance in Prices (for the present), the currency may be gradually contracted, and the conversions of seven and tlgee-tenths ‘Mato the long bonds continued without any of the sudden and violent reductions in value which are so ruigous too many interesta. It ig, at least, questionable whether the government should sell any of ite gold, as the etnfidence in the currency would be increased by the kupwn re- sources in the precious metals; and if the national banks ‘were also required to convert a portion of their Ipgal re- serves into gold, and gradually increase the same, we might retura to specie payments with a much larger volume of currency, equal tp gold, than would be other- wise possible, and with much less damage to the busi- ness interests of the country. With one dollar in gold for every three in paper it 1s believed that a proper cur- rency of at least five or six hundred millions might be kept afloat, equal to specie; and as the credit system Prevailing before the war cannot be permanently re- established for some time to come, much larger volume of currency than then existed will be permanently necessary to the transaction of the business of the country. With these facts, well known to the busi- ness men of the country and to many members of Congress, we may safely expect that a poiloy @f very moderate contgaction will prevail; and if the ‘Bud-Treasury, as well ps the banks, shall gradually Prepare themselves for resumption of specie payments by the deuble operation of diminishing their paper and locreasing their coin, there will “be Bo necessity of gold bills such a@ My.

Itis not exactly correct to describe the church as new, but it is new as regards the observ- ance of the Catholic ceremonies therein, for it has just been purchased from a body of Puseyite Episco- and in other respects made quite suitable for the purpose to which it is henceforth to be devoted, The old name of this church was the “Church of the Holy Indocents,”” and by the same appellation it will be known im future as a Catholic house of worshi ‘The building is capable oft accommodating from one thonsand to fifteen hundred persons. Though the morning was extremely incle- ment, snow falling heavily, it hed mot the least eflect in keeping away large numbers from witnessing the ceremony which was performed by the Archbishop in strict conformity with the ritual Gilt candlesticks were placed on the altar, together with handsonfe vases of flowers, and the sanctuary was cov- ered with a rich carpet, Amongst the clergymen pres- ent were the Rev, Dr. MeNie1 , Secretary to the Arch- bishop; Rev.

JEFF DAVIS AND THE CAPTURE OF SURRATT, Ever since the arrest of Jobn H. Surratt and the state- ments appearing in the papers of his churging the assas- sination of President Lincoln as having been devised in Richmond, with the knowledge and sanction of Jeff Davie, I have been anxiously awaiting an authoritative expression of Mr. Davis’ opinion regarding the arrest and the serious allegations professed to have been made againet him by the prisoner supposed to have been more conversant with the original plot and plotters than any lic faith and Catholic worship, During the few days just passed it has received, in its interior at least, a material renovation, This day it receives a spiritual renovation. A newer and a higher beauty has been added to it by the skill of man, by the tasteful decorations and adornments which are visible to our human eyes; but it bas received this day a far more transcendant beauty in those holy adornments which are visible only to the eye of faith, It cannot boast of large or beauteous propor- thong. It cannot allow thousands to come at once to kneel around and before its gitar, Still it is of fair and goodly size. Itcannot allow, as we here now behold, large, very largé numbers to assemble within it; bat the mu)tiplicating servicer in the church and the number who will be accommodated and receive spiritual comfort and relief will algo be increased, and while there is this much in the present, we know there is ample room around to admit, on a future day, of wider foundations, of more lengthy aisles and much larger and better accom- modation; and, therefore, we are thankful even for of the conspirators, and next to Booth, the assassin, more | what wo havein the present, and we are thankful for deeply implicated in the terrible tragedy depriving Mr. Lincoln of his life and the country of a Chief Magis- trate, whose tragic death cast such a deep gloom over the whole country. Mr. Davis, as I have been told, expresses gratification at the arrest of Surratt. He is gratified because now he sees the way clearer than ever to the establishment of his own innocence in connection with the death of Mr, Lincoln. Even if the captured fugitive prefers the ac- cusations it is claimed he will, he avers that it will bea very simple and easy matter to disprove them, and his anxiety in regard to the result has this depth and com- pass and no more—the desire of an early opportunity to meet and refute the charges. Whatever of criminality ay attach to him as the head and front of the late re- bellion, whatever of treason there may have been to bis country in his official acts as the chosen chief of the confederacy, he is willing an impartial jury shall de- termine, andif be is proven a traitor and moriting a traitor’s doom, he is willing to pay the penalty of his death ; for then the knowledge of the motives prompting to his course and mens sibi conscia recti will sustain yn. The penalty of defeat in the great struggle of a4 people for a great principle he would cheerfully pay, and though judged by the standard of sober discretion his course may have been premature’ and ill-advised, and though tried by tho technical tests of the law he may be pap ee guilty of treason, there would = be something of a fate; but every feellug of his nature revolts at assas- sination, and particularly of such a man as Mr, Lincoln, who, although his opponent in a contest of arms, he re- spected for his poorly, high ey of character and sincere and unyielding devotion to what he consid- ered right. All this, as ites to the capture of Surratt the hope and promise of what may be before us in the future, But we are thankful etill more that here another new altar has been erected, on which will be offered up the true and ever adorable sacrifice. We are thankful that a new gate has been pened for entrance into God’s own eanctuary. We are. thankful that another link has been added in that golden chain that links the creature with his Great Creator; that another point of con- tact is made between earth» and heaven; that another strain 1s added to that grend, universal and harmonious concert of praise, and prayer, and thanks- viving that everywhere rises up to the throne of God from around His altars, even from the rising to the set- ting of the sum. And while we are here assembled to- day in the presence of this new altar, and with hearts full of gratitude for what God has been pleased to do for us, we feel that we are really and indeed within the recincts of His house—that this is no other, and now omes no other than the house of God and the gate of Heaven. elt is the house of God; therofore’ it is full of holiness, for God is holy. It is the gate of Heaven; therefore {t is not only holy in itself, but it is to become the source and moans of holiness unto others, The house of God! - How little, beloved brethren, are we accustomed to think of what ts the real hoiiness of that house—of the respect, vemoration and love which we ought to bear for it. We are acc 5 unfortuvately, to value the gifts and favors of God less in proportion as He multiphes them around us, The more familiar they become to us, the more they abound, the leas, it would seem, do we appreciate them. we scidom pause to think what are the honors God confers upon us in being willing to accept the material work which has been built by the hands of man—the house which they have reared—to accept it as glory in euch | their own—to adopt it as His own—to come and dwell therein and make it truly and indeed the tabernacle of God with men, whore He will be their God and they will be His people, After an eloquent description of the ‘Tomple of Je and. of what {t symbolized to the Christian raind, the Archbishop. remarked—This is not only the house’ of God—ob, it ts still more—it is tho and the interests and destiny of Mr. Davis as involved | gate of heaven, holy in iteelf and possessing within it- im the case, and particularly the expressed ification of the latter at the does not much favor the Doky of Mr. Davis’ implication in the murder of Mr. Lincoln. piceeent 5 ne own assertions, his friends feel confid t if Surrats does attempt to shoulder the assassination plot on him, a rigid investigation will show the charge as groundless as that attempted by the alleged perjurer Conover and bis tools before the special investigation committce of the last Cou oncluding this topic, 1 will therefore add that the ca ture of Surratt has not diminished the appetite of Jeff Davis; that his sleep bas been none the less on account of it; that he maintains the same even tenor of mind and spirits, and ie as cordial and | as ever towards the officers of the fort and visiting friends daily calling to see him. A despateb fromyone an Ww Santon correspond- four Wasbin; ents states that te trial Ot Jeff Davis is not likely to occur until next This confirms a similar state- ment of mine some time aco, which statemont I ‘based on facts given me by Mr. 8. N. Chandler, United States District Attorney for this district, The noxt see- sion of the United States Circuit Court for this district is appointed to meet on the 5th of May. It 1s possible that an extra session of the court be called before this self the sources and the means of 658 unto others, abounding im treasures far beyond all of any earthly price or value, spiritual treasyres, which it di with a very bounteous hand ; treasures in the words of life which are here spoken; treasures in the holy sacraments which will be here ad- ministered; treasures in the sacrifice which, even this day, for the first time, is offered here in the word of life that is spoken to. Here you will come to hear not the word of man, not the voice of the human speaker, but you will come to hear the word of God—God's voice speaking to you through the buman organ which He has chosen in —— You willcome here not to listen to pecullar views of God's providence, religion, or revelation; not to hear the opinions or systems ,or views of any man, or body of men, but you come to hear solely what God has taught, what He has commanded to be taught, which you are bound to believe, and which you are bound to practiso, and by believing and by practising which you have the assurance of eter- nal life. And in this there is no hesitating, or halting, or doubting faith, All is certainty. It is not « private interpretation of a written book. It is the delivery of God's spéken and living word even as He eau oras the Holy Ghost inspired His aposties, the founders of His holy Church, to speak it and receive the those time or that some Unexpected tara of events growing | Ju8t as He gave it, nothing more and nothing less. In out of the capture of Surratt may demand a trial; but neither of these contingencies is calculatéd upon as strongly probable. surances entertained some time since of a general am- nesty proclamation are daily becoming beautifully less. ‘THE JEVF DAVIS CANE.
