—_———> —- UPTOWN AS IT I8 TO BE. ‘The Werk on Sixth Avenue Begun—Impreve- ment of the Surface ef Seventh Avenue and Ite Plan—The East Side Drive Along the Treatment ef the Fort Washington Tract—Works in Hand Within the Park. ‘The substantial completion of the plan of the western tract by the Central Park Commision, as adopted at the meeting of the Board November 25, 1867, and the probabilities of the immediate develop- mentof the city in thisdirection, have diverted the eyes of real estate speculators to this tract as likely 4 imerease more rapidly in value than any other tract within the limits of the metropolis, as is obvious from the annals of real estate transfers for the past three weeks. It was but last week that the proceeds of a single day’s sales of uptown lots by a single firm amounted to over a million and a quarter dollars, ‘the number of lots sold being two hundred and forty- six. The location of these lots was on Fifty-seventh, Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth streets, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, and on Sixty-seventh, Sixty- eighth and Sixty-minth streets, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, or along the line of the new Boule- vard, One corner lot brought the large sum of $36,000, and several others went at an enormous advance n previous prices, ‘These and like transactions in Teal estate exhibit in its trac light the ettect of the recent efforts of the Ceniral Park Commission to de- velop the upper tract on the we: d make room for the city in this direction. Boulevard lots, next to lots bordering on the Ceatral Park, are in first de- mand, though holders seem not to be disposed at present to put their tracts in the market, apprelen- sive, of course, and. justly so, of an unprecedented rise in values Within a short time, Holders of lots on adjacent streets are, however, less reticent in this respect, and sell freely, though not without a liberal advance in prices, as transactions on Sixty-seventh, Sixty-eighth, Sixty-ninth and 1osth streets abun- dantly prove. Within three weeks the transfers along the western tract, mostly between the new Boulevard and the boundary of the Park, have amounted to nearly one and a half million of dollars, principally along the streets above mentioned; and within the next three weeks a still heavier aggregate of sales may be justly anticipated. In view of these facts, therefore, there is no topic of greater interest to the public than the matter-of-fact discussion of NEWYORK HERALD, MONDAY, .MARCH. 16,..1868,.

The decision of the question in relation to Seventh avenue will, therefore, consti- tnte a sort of precedent in relation to otter leading avenues above the Park and ou the western iract. Something of the artistic effect of setting back houses irom the street line may be seen in the gen- eral ensemble of London terrace on Twenty-tui.d street; aud a second and rater clumsy eort at a similar eifect, has been made on Foorth avenue, be- tween Thirty-ninth and Forticthstreets. A third at. er. Jess abortive than the latter, is aso visible on Fourth avenue, between Eigiiieenth and e teenth streets, where the houses are seb back fit, feet from the avenue, Jn the former case on Pourt avenue the joliowing pale the genera! plau:— temp served in a portion of Canal street, in New Orleans; though in both cases the omission of railings along the grass plat would manifestly improve the general appearance of the street. ‘Three plans for the sur- face improvement of Seventh avenue were originally submitted to the Board for its consideration, The first of these divided an Space as follows:— ~ S Feet, Walk,........ 22 Carriage road. 38 Carriage road po Walk.........+ 2 Ride.. ‘This plan contemplated a bridle road of thirty feet, for DURanence horseback malig ane was that account deemed objectionable from the fact thata bridle road to answer its pt involved a surface improvement of softer material than was deemed ad- visable, the road being manips to paved intersections for purposes of cross travel and Wy trafic once in every two hundred feet. A couple of further the present condition of this tract and what is likely to be done on it within the present year, SIXTH AVENUE, ABOVE THE PARK, is the only thoroughfare at present under treatment, the suggested treatment of this avenue by the Com- mission having been already confirmed by the Su- preme Court, for the sanction of which other features of the plan of November 25 are still waiting. The Commissioners of Assessment were appointed on this avenue August 5, 1865, and proceeded with their work, though rather lazily, completing it, however, in time for the report of 1807. Workmen were dis- posed along the line of this thoroughfare last week upon receipt of the decree of confirmation by the court, and the work will be got weil under way in the course of the present summer. Sixth avenue is direct and unornamental, and forms above the Park simply a business continuation of the thoroughfare below. One new avenue run- ning westward in a diagonal direction connects it with the grounds of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, while Manhattan street connects it in the same direc- tion with the new Boulevard on Eleventh avenue. This avenue has been widened from the Park north- ‘Ward, and, though no designs have been subinitted for its ornamentation, will without doubt constitute a business thoroughfare of some importance, bearing probably about the same relation to Broadway at the ulevard above the Park that its ancestor, Sixth enue below, bears to Broadway from Bleecker street to Fifty-ninth street. In short, it will natu- rally develop into u street of small retail stores, lying midway between the aristocratic Fifth and the orna- mented Seventh avenue. Its grades are generally easy, the line of the avenue falling into the Darlem river, or rather cutting the exterior street ou the Harlem shore, near 140th street. The grade of SRS AVANT, when the duty of developing it fell into the hands of the Commission, had been already fixed as high as 155th street, beyond which no grade bad been fixed. Public notice was immediately given of a pro- posed alteration of the yrade as far north a3 this line and of a proposed fixing of the grade to Harlem shore, the extensive street of which is cat at Cen- tral bridge, near 155th street, at which point It also effects a junction with Macomb’s lane. The assent ‘of the requisite two-thirds majority having been ob- @ained, notice was given to occupants along the ave- nue to remove their fences and piantations from the ground of the avenue. The grade as indicated by the natural level of the avenue, which, it was thought, would best subserve the purposes of busi- Bess, necessitated a p rock cut of about half a mile in length, with a depth of from one to forty feet, through the Harlem bluffs to the line of the exterior street. This grade necessitates the expense ofremoy- | 465,009 cubic yards of excavation, of which 308,000 1 be solid rock and only 147,000 will be ok ma- terial or soil. The higher grade, on the other hand, though interfering with the level of the avenue, awould have involved 191,000 cubic yards less of rock excavation. As the law stood then and stands now it was necessary that the work should be done by contract b the lowest bidder—a mode of doing work ‘which often leads to great inconvenience and delay, as contractors, unless guarded by written stipulation, and cyen then, are capable of inaki no iittie ‘trouble. It has been Suggested, in fact, that the Centra! Park Board should be invested with more arbitrary powers in the developing of these streets and should not only be at liberty to reject any bid of unreliable persons, but as well at libe: to perform the work partly by contract and partly by day labor under their own expecial supervision. The width of dhis avenue was estabilshed by law, when the for- rading was fixed, at one nundred and fifty feet, ing the Board no discretion in the matter, and the ordinauces of the Corporation allot twenty-two feet urposes of sidewalk. ~~ avenue, the éotrtyards, steps, stoo) ngs and the like occupy thirty of whole width (one hundred), and, consequently, public way of one hundred feet has really been re- Bd only available for purposes of obstructions, as lamp-posts, hy- dian's and trees, bé taken into account also, the width of this avenue really avatiable for travel or rriages is really only sixty-five feet, which gives ‘altogether too large an allowance for private struc- tures; though on Fifth avenue, it being really a fashionalle aie hy this taking of public land duced to seventy adravel. If othér for private USes nihy be permissible for purposes of elegance of surrounding and general ornamentation. In improving Seventh avenue the Board have deemed it best to dmbrace an bo. org for the reformation of this rather objectionable practice. wer to be invested in the Board, it has been deemed best to preserve the legal figures of the whole width for public use, though the innovation upon established custom will undoubtedly meet with opposition from property owners. As a justification of the practice, on the other hand, ft is w that if owners are rmitted to place their stoops, steps, areas and rail- a within pe line of the street a uniform width of u appendiyes is secured, as well as a uniform line of house ‘fronts on the exact legal line of the street, and that if owners are compelied to build their steps, &c., within the limits of their own lots | the diversity of ‘these appurtenances in width (gov- | erned altogether by personal whim) would create an irregular and tasteless line of house fronta, As these appendages are not built very high the light and air of the street are, it is alleged, not interferod with, though tits is not the case with the width of the street way. No law exists, however, to compel any one to build exactly on the street line, and the owner may, if he desires, set back his edifice at any distance. Oustom, appearance aud the desire to make the most of the given lot generally induce U occupancy of the lot to thts line, and go it would Mf these appendages were not permitied to pass t | yond the street line. This objection on the part of | owners is therefore of live vali , and may be dis- | missed without further comment. | A second objection on the part of property owne is, however, of greater importance and merits sideration. It is urged that if owners of lots on the avenue are permitted to use a reasonable portion it for courtyards, kept in excellent order and em- bDeliished with flowers and statuary, this is really a Assuming the public use of the same, since thesé grounds or the | } width taken becomes pleasant accessories to the | avenue, and serve to render it agreeable to public taste. The Commission have substantially decided, however, to use the concession with guarded cautton, | so that the whole width of way may be resumed at any future period if desirable. No structure within the street limits will be granted, x ¢ as a tempo- Tary affair, and no appearance of ¥olid or permanent occupancy will therefore, on the part of property owners, admins: A license or easement of any pocmeeeas sort gives rise to questions of an exceed- ingly complicated nature, and it being dificult to Tetract a concession once given without considera- ble inconvenience, the conditions upon which the grant is mac jould be carefully guarded, and all structures = should = be forbidden: which cannot be removed without damage to adjacent lot. Moreover, as the neglect of an in- dividual owner here and there to maintain his court. yard in proper order might become the occasion of offence to the public taste, the concession should be plans were submitted, one of which, with some modification, was adopted, in which the bridle road was excluded. These plans contemplated respec- a the following sub-division of the space al- lol -_ Plan No. 1. Feet, Feet. Courtyard: --10 Walk. ees Walk... 25 Courtyards... +10 Carriage. 80 —Three rows of trees dividing walks from way and dividing carrtage way in the middle. Plan No. 2. Feet, Courtyards. eed Walk..... +0020 Carriage road lo Grass....... —Four rows of ‘trees dividing walks from carri: ways, and carriage ways on either side from tie grass. ‘With some modifications the former was adopted, and the general appearance of the Seventh avenue may be considered as fixed. It has been deemed best to give the sidewalks a width of thirty feet, and this idea wlll undoubtedly form a part of the general surface improvement of all the boca avenues. The report of the Commissioner for 1867 (not yet printed) will exhibit gratifying % in the work of open- ing this thoroughfare to the Harlem shore, and it may be expected to take its place as an avenue of travel somewhat earlier than any other thoroughfare under the control of the Board. Sixth avenue will follow next in order, and next in order the line of the new Boulevard, now the most important line on the western tract. The Eleventh avenue has already been opened to the Kingsbridge road, which it cuts at 155th street, and will be graded and worked this season, The lower part of the Boulevard in its deviations the Bloomingdale road is now in the hands of the Corporation Counsel for confirmation by decree of the court, and nothing is likely, therefore, to be done on this line for some months, as in fact is the case with nearly all the deviations from the old plan Which have been adopted by the Commission. Low jong it will be, therefore, before any surface im- provement can take place remains to be decided, or rather hangs upon the expedition of the functionar: who now has the matter in hand. Both the Sixt! and Seventh avenues are to be one hundred and fifty feet wide from the Park to the Harlem river. THE EAST SIDE DRIVE. Another snbject, to which little attention has been attracted, may admit here of a brief discussion. This is constituted by the new road to a cee from the upper end of these avenues along the Harlem Heights at a suffictent elevation to command an unob- structed view of the intervening valley. This road will pass under High Bridge, and then crossing at Tubby Hook will follow the east bank of the Hudson at @ sufficient height to overlook the most elevated buildings op the iivershore. Ths will connect with the Boulevard at tho Riverban! avenue, and thus the Park, left at the Seventh aventie gate, may be entered again at Fifty-ninth street, This drive is to be one hundred and ifty feet in width, and will in due season be made to double and fold round the upper part ofthe island at Spuyten Duyvil creek, thas forming a continuous drive on the river heights around the entire northern and western tracts. It will be graded splendidly, with a view to pleasure driving, and shaded with parallel rows of trees, after the manner by for the improve- ment of Seventh avenue. improvement will give one continuous drive from the Park via Seventh ave- nue to the river, along the river bank to a point op- posite Tubby Hook, across the island to Tubby Hook and thence down along the Hndson river heights to the Riverbank avenue, or down the Boulevard to the Fifty-ninth street gate. This forms one line of drive, which wil be amo the works to be earliest coim- ae and will probably ——— to completion in the course of the year, Ke DE BOULOGNE. OUR FUTURE Rot It is proposed by the Commission that the Fort Washington tract shall be a sort of park of grander dimensions and of more tiatural dey@opment than the Central Park proper, by reason of its grander and more varied natural features. This tract, is to constitute the real. park of the cit; et with the Central Park by a series of spiendid drives find aventes, The tract ih qiestion lies two anda half miles above the Central Park, in a northwesterly di- rection, and will, under this treatment, be meta- morphosed into a sort of paradise of villas and splendid residences adapted to the naturally bold and noble features of its scenery, as fur transcend- ing Fifth avenue for ones of residence as Fifth avenne transcends Fourth avenue for the same purposes, the drives hither and thither, the most frequented will be constituted by the line of Eleventh avenue and the New Boule- vard opening into way at Fifty-ninth street. A second may follow the line of the Riverbank ave- nue to Seventy-second street, and thence cross to the Boulevard. A third winds be ge, be) new avenues ast the Convent grounds and the Morning Side ark, and opens into Eighth avenue at 110th street. A fourth follows the Tubby Hook road across to Har- lem Heights, continues along Harlem Heights to Seventh avenue, and down Seventh avenue to the Park.

The reve- rend gentleman concluded by exhorting all to be at peace with God and avoid relapses, in order that we may enjoy pare and happiness of inind in this world and eternal rest in the next. The remainder of the ceremonies were then proceeded with and terminated shortly before tweive o’clock, St. Patrick's Dag will be celebrated at the Cathedral with great solemity, and the musical arrangements will, ‘t is intended, be of a grand description. HOLY TRINITY. Rev. Stephen H. Tyng@, Jr. in His Pulpit. Holy Trinity, corner of Forty-second street and Madison avenue, was crowded yesterday morning with an assemblage of the most fashionable attend- ants of divine service in the city. Every pew con- tained one or more than its allotted number, and stools were placed by busy sextons along the aisles to accommodate the rush of religious sensationists who had gathered anticipating that Mr. Tyng would allude to the late trial in which he appeared so ponies, or to his more recent “admonition” b; ishop Potter. In this they were sadly disappointed. After the usual introductory services of morning worship were gone through with—the large con; tion impressively joining—Mr. Tyng approached the desk in the centre of the pulpit, and, while eager eyes looked expectantly and ‘complacent countenances indicated the commencement of a sple feast, sald ina feeling but distinct manner:— “It is hardly necessary for me to to my own people and others accustomed to worship here that ‘his pulpit is never degraded by personal vindica- tions, nor made the place to pander to partisan feel- ings, but from it only can be heard the simplest vindication of the Sse Those among you that have come for any other purpose will be disap- inted, but it may be good that you are ere, some of the simplest truths of the Gospel may find a resting place in your hearts, helping you to eternal salvation.” A slight rustling through the church followed this, attesiin; the disappointment of some and the disgust ot others, but, continuing, Mr. Tyng, just as the sun that had been darkened by the mist of the morning broke through its cloud shadow, sending its genial light with a peculiar etfect upon the brilliant toilets within the churci—an omen not unnoticed by the reacher—announced his text as the Sth verse of the 4th chapter of Jeremiah:—“O the hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in iime of troubie, why shouldst thou be as @ stranger In the dJand, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry fora night?’ From this Mr. Tyng preached an eloquent sermon of exhortation in reference to the’ nearness of Christ to His followers on earth, and His infinite mercy to all believers, deducing three great truths, and exhorting his hearers in fervent language to heed and recollect them, viz:—First, Jesus loves to be with His people; second, Jesus does not enter a heart that loves sin more than Himself; third, prayers for His sagan 3 in our hearts must spring from penitence. The large con- gregation, after the sppropriate closing services, then dispersed, many of them, as they wended their way froin the church, expressing satisfaction at the fervor of Mr. nyge’s exhortation, but disappointment in regard to their visit. ST, GEORGE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. A very large and fashionable congregation assein- bied at this church yesterday, ostensibly for the pur- pose of Divine worship, but more probably in antici- pation of the reading of the “protest” by Rev. Dr. ‘Tyng, which he had prepared against the admoni- tlon of the Right Rev. Bishop Potter to Rey. Stephen Ti. Tytig, Jr, Oh Saturday. At the close of the intro- ductory services Dr. Tyng ascended the puipit an announced as his text, a aide ag of the third verse of the ninth chapter of the book of the prophet Jere- miah:—“But ae not valiant for the truth w the earth.” This theme aroused somewhat of an expectation that its application would be to the re- cent events connected with the charges, trial, sen- tence and recent censure of the junior Tyng; but the was completely worn off when the reverend geutieman in an early stage of his discourse an- nounced that he did notintend to treat the subject in a controversial manner, but wholly in relation to its religious bearings, a statement which was rigtdly adhered to throughout to the peignant regret oi the quidnuncs, LECTURE AT ST. ANDREW'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Rev. Dr. O'Hara, of Syracuse, delivered a lec- ture last evening at St. Andrew’s church, corner of Duane street and City Hall place, for the benefit of the poor of the parish, taking for his subject ‘Ire- land and St. Patrick.” The reverend lecturer pre- faced his remarks with the quotation, “I have chosen you that you may bring forth fruit, and that your fruit remain.” He described the liberation of the children of Israel from Egypt, the selection of the aposties and thetr entrance upon the missions assigned them by their divine Master. He stated that without the stamp of the true Churcg their labors would be vain, and as fruitless as the barren fig tree cursed by the Saviour. He referred then to the sending of St. Patrick as apostle to Ireland b; Pope Celestine. He would not refer, he sald, to the advent of Patrick in Ireland or to his early history, which is known to everybody, or to his efforts in converting a Pagan nation into a Christian nation, The reverend Doctor referred briefy to the various achieyements of the Irish peopie in all ages. He quoted from history to show the enlightenment enjoyed by the people of Ireland while their petghbors were groveliing in intellectual darkness, babarism and slavery. le showed that although everywhere assatied and trodden down by bitter foes, ireland had preserved the faith as im- tan street, and pass down Manhattan street to the | parted to it by St. Patrick, and that so strong and Pork.

The works within the Park have also pony e year been subjects of no negiect. The plans a Zoological yarden have been digested arn located. A plan for this purpose for the improvement of Man- an square was submitted by Olmstead Vaux. © Belvidere is also progressing rapidly toward reallzal aud the old arsenal is likely soon to.be superseded by an imposing structure to be erected by the Historical Society. The completion of the projects will form the great features of work inside the Park for the present year, as the grading, open- ing of the indicated avenues, and the I ing oor the Fort Washington tract park-wise will form the it work of the Commission, without the limite of is former jurisdiction, accompanied with proper articles of covenant on the part of owners to whom the privilege is granted to | maintain their yards in ceriain prescribed conditions of culture and ornament.

TRINITY CHAPEL, The Rev. George F. Seymour, D. D., repeated by special request last evening, under the auspices of the American Charch Union, his sermon recently delivered in Zion church, The text was “In fastings,” second Corinthians, sixth chapter, a part of the fifth verse. The argument was briefly this:— God enjoins upon men in the most solemn manner ‘the observance of the seventh day as sacred to Him- self. He includes the command in the Decalogue which He gave from Mount Sinai under the most | awful sanctions. He wrote it with His own finger on @ table of stone. Almost all, however, who pro- foas and call themselvesClristians do not now keep the | seventh day holy a# God commanded, but observe the first day. What authority can they plead r Cane su) ing an express and rel com- mend of Almighty God? Can they ailege the Bible as their Warrant for the change’ ey cannot, since there is nothing in Holy scripture to te them in ing aside God's most solemn injun The ‘a in the New ‘Testament h_ mention the first day contain hich can pos- | gibly be made to imply a 1 the repeal of fourth commandment.

PLYMOUTH acl, BROOKLYN. Rey. Henry Ward Beecher preached yesterday morning to a crowded cougregation in Piymouth church, He commended to the attention of his hear- ers the American Home Missionary Society, and re- quested that a collection should be taken up in aid of Healeors included in the programme of that asso- ciation. At the evening service Mr. Beecher addressed a large body of the Young Men’s Christian Association, Hie called upon them, in very. forcible terais, to be earnest in all their e‘forts, to be enthusiastic in the cause of God, and he remarked that in proportion to their hidden lite would be thelr power to do good. They should exhibit in all their actions the working of interna! re!igious spirit and devotion, and upon taking in hand any cause that was worthy the blessing and protection of Heaven they should be thoroughly impressed with the conviction that they would be able to carry it through. It had been stated that on one occasion, When Ad«iral Dupont, one of the ablest men of the American navy, was explaining to Admiral Farragut the reasons why he had not been able to enter the bay of Charleston and capture the forts, Farragut said to him:—“Ah, Da- pont, you did not believe you conld do ft, and that ts ihe reason.” Lo, if young men had work before them to do, and believed tuey could not do it, they never would do it!

Deschamps, of the imperial maritime customs service, now form a part of his suite, which ieft Pekin November 25, 1867, and proceeded as far as Hoo-se- woo, when they heard of mounted robbers being in front, also a party of five hundred revels within twelve li, ‘therefore Mr. Burlingame wrote ior relief, which came on the 28th of November from 'fientsin and Pexin. Captain Dunlop, of her British Majesty’s a large and appreciative audience, at this church, a carefully prepared paper entitled ‘The Union of Re- ligion and Patriotism; or, Whata Catholic Irishman Should Be.”” The learned Doctor prefaced his lecture with the remark that in the history of nations there are certain periods in the history of peoples which bring out their patriotism; but in all periods religion and patriotism go hand in hand, and should be in- dissoluble. Love of country is as old as the diversity of civilized communities; but it 1s seldom found to exist in the hearts of tyrants and demagogues. It is our duty, therefore, to contribute to cement the union which tyrants and demgaogues desire to dissever. a pea oe SEeea con Daria ery ber Be -speaking lands the putting of a in the condition of a constable interferes with his usefulness, Lately we have read in table Trish (arnae sentiments which we only look for in infidel continental journals. There is no good reason for the expression of such sentiments, for the soldier of liberty need never leave the lines of the Church. ‘There is a kind of patriotism in vogue wich is not! more than self-love. It is this which impels Englan to keep its hold on Ireland, Russia on Poland, Tarkey on Crete. But true patriotism is that love of country which causes man to labor for the well-being of his compatriots, and religion combined with patriotism brings forth the civilization of nations. Dr. Parsons concluded by paying a glowing tribute to Washing- ton, who combined more than any other manreligion and patriotism. LUTHER AND THE REFORMATION. Lecture by ‘Father Hecker in St. Church, Jersey City. Last evening a lecture was delivered in St. Peter’s church, Jersey City, by Father Hecker. The lecturer opened in the following strain:—We shall all agree, my friends, whatever be our religious differences, that being of one nature we should not be found in hostile attitude towards each other. The Church, receiving its commission froim a Divine Founder and embracing all classes of human beings, was inits natare divine and human. By virtue of this commission it was exempt from error, and its immobility was assured in the charge to St. Peter, “On this rock will I bulld my Church.’? That there were bad popes, bad bishops and bad priets no ete Catholic will deny. Nor will any one be foolish enough to suppose that popes or priests are supernatural bel dropped down from the heavens. On the contrary, they are subject to the same frailties and imperfections as any ordinary mortal. Abuses have existed in the Church from the primitive ‘The lecturer here recounted the different heresies which had sprung up, but the Church out-lived them ail. ‘The Church is not composed exclusively of saints, for Christ declared that there must needs be scandal, but “woe be to him by whom scandal cometh.” Still we are not to pronounce against the Church for its abuses. Have not good parents oftentimes bad children? Yet we cannot blame the parents always. In the Christian Church the good is ever struggling to overcome the bad; hence the Church is call the militant, or fighting, Church. Father Hecker then proceeded to review the history of the reformation in the sixteenth century, quoting fre- uently from Protestant historians. His discourse throughout was replete with valuable information on the causes that led to thatjsecession of a iarge por- tion of the Church. Peters THE SPIRITUALISTS. A Trance Mediun at Dodworth Hall—Qucer Nervous Exhibitions—Some Words About Visible and Invisible Means, The First Spiritualists’ Society at Dodworth Hail pro- gresses swimmingly in respect to the number of its audiences since the abolition of the ten cent admis- sion. Free toallis now the motto—the freedom ex- tending not only to the point of admission gratis, but also to the exercise of exceeding freedom alter the den has been entered. Yesterday morning Dr. Hallock explained to the assemblage of the faithful exactly what the country expected of Spiritualism (if it ever expected anything)—though the reverend gentleman with the degree omit- ted very properly to explain what Spiritu- ualism expected of the country—a question of far greater importance than the former, though more intimately connected with the having of visible means of support. To be sure, it is a part of the creed of the ism in question to rely on rather invisible means for that purpose, and not a few succeed re- markably well in so doing, but, on the whole, it is better to have visible means on hand, even if a spiritualist has really no use forthem, It answers the requirements of the law, if nothing more; and while one is in the world, it is of the ut- most importance to live legally and by visible means. People who live otherwise are often subjected to little annoyances which, for one’s comfort in living, ought to be scrupulously avoided. Arrests are sometimes made at the instance of less ethereal le, Who cannot support themselves without visible means, and are naturally envious of people who can, People have (very unjustly, to be sure), been imprisoned for the fact of having no visible means of support on hand, even though tttey had no need of them, and could live without them just as well as not; and little accidents of this: sort are always disagreeable and troublesome. To be locked up as @ Vagrant on a mere formality—the mere for- mality of being required to have what one has no need of—is an incident that often occurs to very spiritually-minded people: for the potlce have no respect for spiritual-mindedness asa rule, and have been known to arrest persons professing it for the mere spite of the thing. Itia a way they have of doing things; and, therefore, though a real spiritualist of the first water bas really no need of visible means of support and no occasion to use them, it is always better to avoid all possible annoyance and comply with the regulations, Not having done so, people have suffered very he ina sometimes, and, not doing 80, people wlll be Very likely to suffer agaln for the same reason. Jt is vory hard to convince the world that visible means of support are not an actual necessity of proper existence, to say nothing of sub- sistence, and some little respect ought to be paid to popular prejudice, especially in this respect.

The establishment of a home for destitute Chinese, which the Rev. Mr. Butcher has begun, has attracted attention to the fact that no system has been organized for the relief of distressed foreigners—British and American.and others—which are to be seen about the settlement, and we hope steps will be taken for their benefit. ‘The rebels have been driven three hundred li from Chefoo, and a Nienfi chief was killed; heres the Imperial General Li, who saw the exploit of the leader of an imperial column achieve a victory, rewarded his man with 10,000 taels. This is quite in accordance with the Chinese dramatic style ofrelating intelligence. However, the fact so inspired compatied by a longing for tests and glory too, that companied by @ lo! for and-glot a they made some thirty chiefs eens various encounters. From these accounts the Chinese here appear to believe they will soon be able to quell the rebellion entirely. A report is current that the imperial troops ow have mutinfed, They were quartered at San-Tseng, a large town situated four hundred miles up the river Han, where they are so comfortable as to refuse going against the Shantung rebels or the revolted Mohammedans in Sankan. An Englishman, named T. T. Cooper, has lately started on a rather singular trial trip, to from Hankow through Burmah to Calcutta, a route by which some merchants propose to transport their goods, The gentleman started before, accompanied by some Jesuit priests, who turned back; so th! time he pursues the Voyage of discovery quite alone. News from Chefoo states that the rebels are march- ing south and the country is still in a chronic state of rebel There have been several skirmishes with the imperialists, but to the benefit of neither side. Al: junk was burned during the night of the 2ist, owing to the strong gale blowing. ‘Thirty- five men were drowned. She ran on the rocks, and no assistance could be given from the shore, At Chinkiang some bands of Nienti rebels came up alongside the river on the north bank and distin- guished themselves by plundering some cash and opium shops, which are generally defenceless. From Pekin we have a ey iat via Chinkiang to the effect that a fire broke out in the imperiai palace, and which threatened to prove serious, but fortu- nately no damage was done. Several Chinese officials were rewarded by the government their efforts to suppress the flames, Certainiy credit is due to them, considering the primitive appliances in vogue among the Celestials for quenching fire.
