Ne ORIEL BB % RELIGIONS SERVICES. "se Pulpit and the Press —Sermow by Rev. Qing B. Saye The Rev, bir. Smyth delivered a lecture yesterday afvernoem ws the Evereté Roome, Broadway, aking for bis subject Leswons for the Clergy, from a Comparison of be Séage, the Pulpi's and the Press."’ Re introduced his dbjO@ Dy saying that the gilt cf language, by which mas, af a creatur’,, is constituted superior toall the in- Rertar creatures ‘of the earth, is one of the greatest bless- ‘Wer which the, Divine Being bas conferred upon him. It Wee, the source of usefulness and happiness, enabling him %@ receive and also to communicate information, and “every means ought to be resorted to to turn it to the best “sccount for the benesit of all, It was supposed that tbe act ef writing was known prior to the time of Moses, "(cca ,b many contended that Moses was the first person who, ever deseribed anything by the pen. From an ‘earsy period of the world’s history Riad bad deen im the habit of represonting ‘heir thoughts doth on paper and in the way of theatrical ferformances. The first lesson necessary to leara with ‘vegard to the matter ia the origin of these three tbings— she stage, the pulpit and the prese. And first, as to the ‘origio of the stage and the pulpit. It was gencrally held that theatrical performances originated in Athens two Sheusand years ago, and that the pulpit originated im the Urne of Elijan, 029' B.C. The stage and tho pulpitare copexistent. ‘Both are of greater antiquity than is wecribed to them. The book of Job was acknowledged Dy all groat critics to be one of the nest compositions ¢fxtant in any language. No theme ever put of the sta, Years comparison with that book in grandeur and sul Himity. It bas none of those defects which the greatest jadmiret of Shakspeare discovers in the productions of ‘hat immortal bard, It hae all the excellences of Shak- ‘epeare’s ;best works, without fany of their defects, So mucb for the antiquity of dramatic compo- eitier The book of Jub was a dramatic poem of ibe very highest order. The question was, When was 4 composed? Some say it was written by Moses when he was in the land of Kdom; but there is no cerlain Feoord of the fact, A Hebrew writer says that the book ef Job was written anterior to the time of Moses. The mistake of attribullng the drama to the Greeks must Rave arisen from tho fact that the name is dorived Trom the Greek language. In songs of the Israelites, when they came forth from Egypt, we find a kort of dra- matic composition corresponding in some respect with the origina! composition of the Greeks before they er- rived at the composition of dialogues. We bave the ‘songs of Deborah and of Jeptha’s daughter, aud the danc- ing of the virgins—a wort of religious opera. That is the ‘origin of the drama, David composed psalms and aung them to the masic of the harp. These performances were religious and were afterwards, SP perverted by them, adopted by the Greeks. The Jows sang to Jehovah and danced to His praise; aud @o the heathens danded to their idols and sang in praise us and their deities. Moses, when he delivered the laws to the Hebrews, accompanied the act with a dramatic performance. In the days of the Apostles the Christian churches used singing along with the plainer idactic compositions of the preachers We have dra matic performances in the churebes now, and wo bear ke most solemn truths turned to mockery by the dra matic performances in the pulpit and echoed from the @llery. Nothing could be plamer than that there ts a great reformation needed in both the pulpit and on the sstage. The second lesson 1s as to the origin and progress of the press. The art of printing was unknown to the World til) 1430. fbhen Laurentius, at Harlem, in Ger- ‘many, invented the art, although Faust, bis servant, bas ‘he credit of inventing the art. He carried the art to ‘Moutz, and derived great honor from ‘t, and became o ter and a distinguished man. Luther in bis day feund it@ great auxiliary to spread the truths of U Bodie threugh the land. All the great benetits that man enjoys at the present time were the result of this great Amvention, The comparative power of these agencies— abe pulpit, the «i ind the press—is a question of great moment.

Dr. Ongood. At the Church of the Messiah yesterday morning Rev. Dr. Osgood preached an Epiphany sermon upon the subject of “The Manifestation of Christ to Creation, sbrough the Animal Kingdom, with Reference to their Humane Treatment.” His remarks wore founded upon abe second verse of the second chapter of Matthew :— “Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship Aim,” in connection with the nineteenth verse of the sighth chapter of Romanse—‘‘For the earnest expecta- dion of the éreature walteth for the manifestation of the ton of God.” In his introductory remarke the speaker ssid that im our age a larger fellowship of universal ideas with crea- tion is variovsly shown; not only apon ail Creation, but “apen all nature the like is seen under ite pure yet He would speak to-day of the God in creation to all nature, ly-to what is calied the animai world.

This bell was cast in Louisville, Kentucky. The smailer bell weighs nearly one hundred and sixty pounds, and is intended to be placed in tbe tower ag an accompanist to the larger one. The cerewontal of consecration was performed at baif- ast ten o'clock by the Right Rev. Bishop Bayley, the larger bel! being dedicated to and receiving (he name of “St Nicholae;"? the smaller bell was consecrated to «>t, Michael’? which name it also beara. At the Gon- clusion of the consecratory exercises high mase was celebrated by the Rev. Titua Joslin in an impressive manner. Bishop Bayley delivered an elaborate discourse, taking for a subject the ceremony which had just been witnessed and the almost exclueively sacred uses of bells. «In opening his discourse the right reve rend prelate said that he felt pieased to congratulate Father Joslin on his having acquired so vaiuable an assistant as the greater bell, St. Nicholas, which would preach to the people, summoning them by its fron-tongued admonitions to the house of praise and Prayer, to bid their atiendance at the mass in God's seermnete, to hear His word and repeat the beautiful Angelis. Referring to thd use of bells as a means of sum- moning worshippers #9 prayer, he eaid:—“Open either the Old Testament or the New and you will dnd that Al- mighty God bas through all time communicated His ge avd the Dieseiogs of His favor through the me- ium of sensible and material elements. The best man- ner in which we may lind what God will and can do is to ask ‘What bas He done?’ The answer is voluble and apparent everywhere, and in every word of His Holy Book.

Generali’s grand mass in B flat was performed by Mr. Reiz, organist of the church, and the kolo Et /ncarnatus Fst was pleasingly rendered by Miss Annie Wilmes, soprano, assisted by Miss Theresa Bauer, from the Church of the Assumption, New York; Mr. G Gross and Mr. James F, Campbell, from the Church of St Pani, Fifty-ninth street; the services con- cluding with agrand Te Deum. Not the least interest- ing incident connected with the services of yesterday was the fact that the distinguished celebrant on this oc casion, the Right Rey. J. R. Bayley, was the first cler- gyman to introduce the system of consecrating bells, having performed that service in this city some four- toen years ago. Veépers was celebrated yesterday afternoon at three o'clock by Bishop Bayley and Rev. Mr. Joslin, the choir performing Verdi's magnificent Lambilotte’s Alma Re- demptoria and Rossi's Jantum Ergo ina very creditable manner. THE GHOULS IN THE GARRET. Resurrection of Ancient Theorles—The Herald nfidelsa—Retrogressive -The World to be Ruled on a Rigid selec Scale—Shakepeare, the Herald and the Common Luw to be Abolished, & Away up towards the roof of the five story building No, 814 Broadway there is a meeting room, gloomy de- spite its altitude, ill-furnished, its walls hung around with ghastly pictures of balf-dissected subjects, and pro- fusely though appropriately plastered over with phreno- logical pictures of idiots and simplotons of every degree. A sign at the sido of the dark doorway gives notice that a professor of biology, as well as of the occult sciences, ‘occupies the gloomy place during certain hours dally. A poster on the walls also informs the visitor that @ pro- fessor of ‘prognostic astronomy and agtro-pbrenology”’ there holds forth from behind this veil of mystery and conjures dollars from the pockets of the credulous poor, On Sundays, morning, afternoon and evening, this room is oceupied for public meetings, called by and held under the auspices of an association of ten long-barred, antiquarian ghouls, whose greatest de- Nght is to disinter old theories, absurd doctrines of real- retic faith, and transcendental follies of ail kinds, whether. Spiritual or relating to the flesb, end, having assembled ‘an audience, to apply these old doctrines to the affairs of the present day, under the pretence of advocating reform. Almoat utterly destitute of the piain common sense that rules most minds, and thoroughly infatuated with the erudition which the advocation of their retrogressive reform arguments seems to inspire, they have not paused at any point which ordinarily bounds the arguments of the most visionary reformers. Infidelity to religious axioms and superiative stupidity m the consideration of worldly matters have marked their later deliberations, But yesterday the climax of folly was reached in the beld condemnation of religion, the jaw and the freedom of the press, as they exist. The subject for the morning discussion, which took place at half-past ten o'clock, and at which the publie werefinvited to attend and totake part, was THR MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE HERALD. It was well understood from the ravings of the vision- aries, who were intensely wroth at the fact that the reas, and especially the Herano, had condemned their rreligious professions and heathenish rites, that the ar- gument was to be conducted on a one-sided scale, and the journal in question was to be slashed and dissected with impunity. In the conrse of the argument, how- evor, a champion came from the audience and declared ‘op the si the newspaper. The manner in which be conducted defence and unveiled the fallacies of his bigoted opponents was both creditable to bimeelf and dreadfully annoying to the clique of philosophers who bad the argument al! cut and dried before it had been publicly begun. The spectacled presiding officer, a sort of Jack-of-ail-trades, part lawyer, editor, Bohemian and Jecturer, was the first to open fire on the Haran. ITS INFLUENCE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, he said, was undoubtedly very great. It was greater, probably, than that of any other paper, and therefore it ‘was most to be feared, for the influence which it might exert for evil. For’ years past, according to the speaker’s opinion, the Hxaro had been dealimg in filth, Nothing bad been too nasty for it to pick ap and treat of. And here he adverted, im connection with this su; peculiarity of the per, to the fact that it had not shrunk from report- ag im ite columns the details of the meetings held under infidel patronage. After having foamed with in- diguation over the Henaiv's assertion that these meetinge were held in « but, finding no other cause of coepialat, the continued his illogical pow The eae was only soar ES he e money for ita proprietor; and thie, t Lagheh, wens net Gaceateh Tae Bate $0 be fermi fault, and.one to be the more copdemned from the fact ‘that the not only aimed to but ac _ ot id aimed tually did After « pause at this point, none of the ghouls mani- feating any dispontion to take the negative side of the question, a gentleman in the audience arose and began Me ad, nee 1e Bo interest in the Byxap oben ad than tbat of a constant reader of ite the necessity fallible, and accurate; but it remained track; but Soon wane ifthe Hanato ad go eck ecanon Grong, and bravery snd men Bolas le. it tolfomed phic epinon, and id net make 1s was claimed bythe cckers on the affirmative sui Bs ieaisrys es emma cata Of couree it alted at gucoosa What man ‘entered taro ony Tee oan eee eens na ape Sf making i ou The man who weuld & newspaper or any oth indertaking on the other principle would be nothing more than an idiot, Im reference to the alleged ness of the Hsratp in ‘and con- demning delicate subjects, the speaker that every one has » speci for the successful com- oy Red Tt was the LB's method to show up ror ge agg gl Hess, ond tate Be cn. of thom without jer or difteaiy, ny © uponine The ‘with the spectacies followed with more abuse of journal in question.

Yow, however, he was ready to agitate a reform in th mat- ter of American journalism, The mecting was then concluded, with the usnal collection of stray pennies from the audience, and the angouncement was made that the same subject would te iscussed again mext Sunday, at half-past ten o'clock 2 IN THE APTERSOON, at three o'clock, there was another meeting ip the ghouls’ garret, the subject under discussion being the “‘Immorality of Theatres.”” The naked drama, a4 usual, occupied thé time, In the course of the argument the speakers manifested the usual ios given on matters of general education, as well as of the especial subject under consideration. Shakspeare was condemned, as usual, in comparison with second rate rhymsters; but there was less of open infidelity than usual manifested jn the argument. There was only one point of iuterest to relieve the stupidily of the afternoon session. A young man having, in the course of hie “advocation of one side, occasion to make a quotation from Pope, was corrected by another young mei Youth No. 1 thereupon proposed to bet five dol- Jars that bis was the correct rendering of the lines. The offer was accepted after considerable equabbling, which atone time seemed tending to a general fight, and the argument was resumed. IN THE EVENING there was a conference of the ghoul fraternity, at which the public attended iu large numbers. A lecture was delivered on this occasion by one of the society, the subject being ‘fhe Immorality of Law.’ The lecturer argned that all laws involving punishment to the evil doer had the effect of inspiring the public with contempt of alilaw. Of course a complete reform was advocated, and the abolishment of all existing forms of law was gravely recommended. The meeting was concluded, as usual, with a grand pow-wow of all the incongruous elements of the audience; but the results were even more stupidly absurd than usual, and the ideas advanced were more than ever pusillanimous and weak.

JANUARY 14, 1867. THE EXCISE LAW. Gpbratlon af the New Law—Comparatively # Quiet Suyday in the Metropolis and Brook- lyn—Wor'rk at the Police Courts—-Seenes, Lue cideny,, &e. The ne.w Excise law, having been declared by the Court of Apr eais to be a constitutional enactment, was, 80 f7.r 88 wards the provision declaring that all places wheyein in’ oxwcating drinks are sol must on Sundays ve kept ““effectuully closed,’ put into practical operati“n at mid- night on Saturday, During the day yesterday the law was in most cases fully complied with, though, as the reports of arrests published below will indicate, it was not universally respected, There was, however, a vory general acquiescence in tho restrictions imposed by the new enactment, though in ‘many instances the parties, for time whose usual Sunday receipts some past under the old system were lessened by the enforcement of the law, failed not to express 9 determined digapproval of a measure that curtailed their income to avery perceptible degree. Supplemented to this disapproval were the denunciations of thoxe whose habit it nad been for lo, these many years, to indulge ip the matitutinal ‘‘cockta:!’and in the vespral “nightcap.” The portion of the community most affected, however, by the closing of the drinking places was the German element of our metropolitan and cosmopolitan city, The custom of visiting the beer sa- loons on Sunday afternoons has become, to our Teutonic friends, almost second nature; and the sudden depriva- tion of the facilities afforded them to quaff the favorite beverage of Fatherland was an inconvenience which they were compelled to bear, though not without muttered execrations acainst the Legislature for having thus summarily stopped their supply of lager, Whether the enforcement of the new law will materially ald the cause of temperance may be a question, On Saturday night, those who knew of the action taken by the police authorities to put the law into opera- tion yesterday, had the foresight to provide a bottled supoly of “the ardent” for home consuraption during Sunday. The retailers must have udded targely to their receipts, owing to the increased sales in this particular. Tue passengers on the ferryboats, from six o'clock in the evening until midnight, judging from the number of sus- p.cious looking packages that they almost invariably car- Tied, inust have patronized the liquor dealers to @ con- siderable extent, and at many dinuer tables in Brooklyn, in Williamsburg, aud In other suburban localities where the law is operative, there was probably more imbibition of liquor yesterday than is usually the case on the Sab- bath, Many, especially Germans, wero unaware of the order that had been issued by Superintendent Kennedy, and on making their usual Sunday visits to the lager sa- jJoons were surprised to find that eptrance to those places wero not to be had, Numbers of persons who were in- tent on having their usual supply or stimulants, find- ing that it was impossible (or at least very dif- ficult) to obtain it in the city, wended their way to the claesic realme of Jersey, where they hoped to secure opportunities for indulgence in the various liquid compounds that were denied them in New York. The boats plying between here and Jersey City ferried over hundreds of the thirsty individuals, many of whom spent the day on the other side of the North river, and returned at night with their perceptive faculties some- what dimmed in consequence of a too free use of Jersey liquors, The appearance of the Bowery was greatly differ- ent from that which is usual to it, from the fact that the lager beer saloons were ai} sbut up und manifested none of the cigns and tokens of joviality which usually per- tain to them on Sunday. Although the law provides that a}! liquor shops must be “‘effectually closed,” there were not wanting evidences of the fact that the closing of many of them was far from being of the effectual char- acter contemplated by the Legisiature. The initinted knew enough to enter through side doora and alleyways into their usual Sunday haunts, and where it was made satisfactory to ‘mine host’? that there wae po danger in selling his drinks, but little difficulty was experienced in getting a stimulating draught. Taking the city alto- gether, bowover, there was a very general observance ‘of the law, the dealers relying on the efforts now being made to repeal or greatiy modify the enactment, my them for the loss of custem they sustained y- Among the many m adopted yesterday to evade the Excise law and come detection by the police, was the it ious one of innocently selling a tem- which, ney: +” during the week, in squeezed to re- yester- acted that up to.a late ee ‘peach Bourbon” eecaped arrest all to impeach them. ‘ ighboruood of the: tex- corners in the neighbor ot tem- Pporarily defunct barrooms » The ic of discussion was of course opinions varying in force and character were ven “freo gratis for nothing.” outside a cigar store in Canal street their denunciations of the attempt made to rob them of their “rights” in the shape of “lager.” The - out. side the door—a very wild and cannibalistic looking Indian—seemed to have been unan!mously chosen chair- man, for to it, apparently, all remarks were addressed and complaint made, ‘Gott for damn de tamm Legis- lature” met with an enthusiastic applause, the Indian saying nothing, Hurrah for ‘‘lager’’ was vociferously encored, the Indian still silent. ‘amn old Fenton’? was burrabed and burrahed, but no response from the red warrior. Things then began to look exciting; one Teuton slashed his bat on the ground, saying “If dat vas free- dom; tamn freedom.” Another made violent attempts to pull off bis beard and mustaches in bis indignation, while a more improvident individual actually slash five coppers on the ground, telling the audience “that there went the ‘stamps’ for our ‘lager,’ whether we got it or no, and damp the temperance movement;” but to exceed this another more violent customer actually put hia hands in bis pocket, took them out agun, lifting them to his eyes, and, taking off his spectacles, in a tit of desperation threw them wickedly in the offensive In- dian’s face, whose owner rushed irantically to the res- cue and di-volved this indignation assembly. Other forlorn travellers, apparently without a home, wandered from door to door to find an “‘aperture,” but, no sooner was one ‘iscovered, than up comes the inev- itable “blue,” who obliges them hastily to speed farther and fare werse, Hanger may be very painful, but the real despair and egopy of thirst was in those fel- lows’ eyes, affecting seriously the movement of their tongues, which looked every moment as if there was hele Sale ‘ Thore philosophic and moralizing crowd assembled fn the neighborhood of the Tombs, and although admit- Ging the grievous sufferings they were laboring under, agreed that “it was a bloody good arrangement,” and ntleman, apparently a prominent spokesman, is mind with the following eloqueat ana touching opinion:—“Be jabers, boys, but I tell yez what {t is, that myself, like many another fellow in New York, wilt awake in the morning and aay, ‘I be blowed if this ain’t the first Monday morning or (be last twelve months | awoke without @ The Arrests. ‘The following is a full report of the arrests made for violations of the law, from twelve o’clook om Saturday Right till ten o’clock last night.
