Afier the calendar of cases was called, Assistant District Attorney Hutchings stated that there was an indictment against Nathan A. Lowvenick, charg- ing him with obtaining $150 worth of cigars from Juius N. Knoop, 1513¢ Bowery, on the 16tu of June, by trick and device, having presented in payment Jor the property @ fraudulent check on the Chatham National Bank, purporting to have been signea by Kudoiph Hauser & Co. The complainant expressed a desire to withdraw the charge, but Mr. Hutchings sux! that ne couid not consent to the discharge of the accused, because there were three other complaints against him. The lawyer of a Wall wireet banking house rose and said that he tad been requested to look after the juterests of the accused, and requested the Cou... © postpone the case to afford him an opporta- yy to examine into the merits of the charge. A cutnfal personage, who embraces every opportu- ity lo misrepresent the proceedings of this court in. #sensulioua Morning paper, stepped forward and auuounved Limselt as the counsel for the prisoner, auu that he was acting without ‘fee or hope of re- wavd.” Judge Bedford said thac it did not matter woeiter be received @ dollar or a thousand doliars as couusel. Mr. Hutchings consented to let the case go off till Monday to enable the Wall street lawyer to prepare ' for trial. It Was hinted that there Was a thousand dollar jee 1m the case, 80 that the youthrul aspirant to segai lame had to retire to meditate upon the old wiage, “There is many @ slip between the cup and the ip.” Morning two young men, as he alleges, suddenly assaulted him, robbed him of his pocketbook, con- taiuing $145, and then ran away. He gave imme- diate pursuit, and through the aid of Officer Gleason, of the First precinct, was fortunate enough to cap- ture them and recover his money. The prisoners, who gave their names as John Murray and Edward Gibson, were taken before Junge Dowling, at the Tombs, who at once committed them without bail and sent the papers to the Grand Jury. ATRICK THar Was Nor ALL A TRICK.—Dennis Geraghty, of No. 65 Nassau street, was standing watching the sleight-of-hand performance of a “Wizard of the North,” or some other wizard indt- vidual, in front of one of the newspaper offices about Franklin square, The sleight-of-hand performer Placed his hands against Geponent and pushed him away gently, with the polite request, “Please stand back a little, so as to give me room for performing my tricks.” Mr. Geraghty did stand back a little, and in fact moved directly away, when very soon he discovered that his gold watch and chain were gone. He returned immediately to the scene of the leger- demain performance, and found the operator and his trick apparatus gone. This was on the 5th inst. Mr. Geraghty has been on the look out since for this fe)- low. Yesterday afternoon he was fortunate enough to see the object of his search, and at once, calli officer Sherbett, of the Fourth precinct, he caus: hus arrest, The prisoner, on being taken before Judge Dowling, at the Tombs, gave his name as James mend th He denied having anything to do With Geraghty or bis watch and chain. The Judge committed hiin to answer @ charge of grand Jarceny from the person. ASSAULT ON A CITIZEN BY A POLICEMAN.—A gross outrage was committed on Thursday night upon a respectable citizen by a policeman of the Tweaty- ninth precinct. As Mr. William M. Armstrong, delivery clerk in A. T, Stewart’s establishment, was going home throngh Seventh avenue he was sud- denly accosted by officer James Hetfernan, of the Twenty-ninth precinct, who caught him violentiy by the shoulder and asked him his business, Mr. Armstrong told him he did not see what that was to him, when the officer said he had a mind to punish him for his impertunence. As soon as he could clear himselt from the fellow’s clutches the gentleman proceeded to the station house and com- plained to Captain Burden, telling him what had oc- curred. The [Sm immediately sent for Heffernan and interrogated bim as to the meaning of his ex- traordinary conduct. Mr, Armstrong reiterated the charge before him, adding, what was evidently true, that the officer was drunk. Heffernan denied hav- ing taken hold of him, and when Mr. Armstrong re- peated what had occurred tne officer stepped up and struck him a blow with his fist in the face, knockin; him senseless tothe floor. Captam Burden jum) from behind the desk, secured the ruffian and locked him up forthe night. He was bronght up before Justice Dodge ea bone and committed to answer at the Special ions.

James Smith and James Murphy pleaded guilty to peuly larceny, the indictment charging them with the grave crime of robbery, the complainant betn a Cuimaman named Charles Ahcling, who claim wo iy been robbed of a silver watch ana five doljars in money on the 17th of June. Judge Stuart maueed the prisoners to plead guilty to the minor ofence, as the circumstances showed that they were A Bowery Store Entered by Burglare—The Safe Broken Open—Slight Less. ‘The success of the bold robbers of the vanit of the Ocean Bank seems to have stimulated the lesser lights of the burglarious fraternity to renewed a HO; guilty of robbery, and requested that they be re- | Uvity.

The facts are these:— Mr. B, Subert is a wholesale dealer in leaf tobacco, at No, 829 Bowery, between Second and Third streets, During the night from Wednesday to Thursday last hia store was barartousty entered, the safe broken open, ransacked, robbed of its centenis of valuables, and therenpon the thieves departed in security. It appears that they effected an through the eellar door on the mdewaik, in front of the premises, This ‘was secured with a common padlock on the outside and, a heavy crossbeam below. The padiock was broken off and the force applied to the cellar door succeeded in loosening the tron bolts the beam, and the door gave way. That this could be ‘Se KuCcessfully accomplished on the public street, and yet no officer to see and interrupt the thieves, is ot very creditable to the effectiveness of the force, ‘On entering the cellars she thieves ascended by way of the stairs, which communicated with the store, to the floor above. Passing through the store they have gone to work at once on the safe im the rear oMce, for in the store nothing was disturbed nor anything missed. The safe is one of Herring's make, but over twenty year@uld, and offering jess rea. ance to the improved tools of housebreakers than those now constructed. From the appearance of the safe when found by Mr. Subert on Thursday LIBR. Danie W. Aerpam, ao elderly man, was Placed at the bar charged with perpetrating a grows ibe upon Mr. A. A. Selever.

Complaints were many and heavy against the ad- ministration of the health Jaws while the Street In- spector was entrusted with thetr execution, It was baa, there is no doubt about tt, But how 1s tt now? The people grumbled thén, ag they had a right to, The streets were uot cleaned. The refuse, garbage and filth were left to nl the air with pestiferous stench, This was bad, and the people had a just right te complain. A change was made. A “Board of Health’? was authorized by the Legislature. The Street Inspec- tor’s oMfce, which had become a “stench in the nostrils” of the people under Boole’s management, was abolished. All hoped that now would come the time when ciean streets should be the order and filth the exception. The “flealta Board” was wel- comed with general applause, and it was believed that with their advent to power the city might nence- forth rely upon cleanlines¢ being enforced upgn ail people and in all streets. But the city is not cleaner, The people find ont, a8 month passes after month and year after year, that the “Board of Health’ is but very little, if any, improvement upon the old street Inspector. The Board made a very flerce onslaught in the start on tenement houses, slaughter houses, cellar tenements and many other similar nuisances. They over- whelmed the press with intermmable reports of “zymotic diseases,” and of the percen' of deaths to be ascrived to “zymotic” causes, The statisti- cians of the Board were busily at work furnishing ists of deaths, gnd classifying them in the most aj proved order of the circumlocution office, Their legal advisers were kept busy preparing, and the members themselves at debating, amending and adopting “health ordinances” mnumerable, 80 as to Mill @ ponderous volume by this tame, and larger in number and more intricate in substance than any one man can attempt toremember and obey. But where is the cleanliness of the city? Where is what toe “Health Board” was specially organized for? Where is the improvement it was hoped to accom- fori by placing a “Board” in the stes= of a “Street spector?”? Are the streets cleany~ Is there no pont breeding disease in the city? Are the mem- rs of the “Board” attentive to their duties? From time to time the HERALD has called the at. tention of the many doctors and politicians com- posing the soi-disant Health Board to nuisances in Various parts of the city. From Fifty-fourth street and Tenth avenue across to Thirty-fourth street and First avenue, and north of this to Harlem river, and south of it to the Battery, the HERALD has de- scribed very pest holes which the Health Board has overlooked, and of which by their paid mspectors they should have been informed long What have shey cones Actaally nothing, exten Srawing Shate ich salaries, making buncombe specc passin resolutions worth not the paper on which’ ey are written, spending money to pay inspectors and their other birelings, and taking a complacent view of the tabular reports of the Sanitary Superintendent on tl of secondary interest. But the city is dirty, many of the streets are but so many death beds, and the Health Board have not a word to say about them, nora resojution to pass, not a step to take to remedy the fault Why? THE FOURTH AND SIXTH WARDS. Let any one go into the Fourth or sixth ward ‘and he will there find streets in a condition enough to make one sick by merely passing through. Take James street, or Rose, or Vandewater street for an example, or the eastern end of Frankfort street, and any other one of the many small streets which abonna in the Fourth. In these the visitor will be astonished at the mass of rubbish and filth which tee rasapeds fe ibe beree AL og mr a up for years, A large num! cellar ee ae occupied in this neighborhood. from ‘the gut and the sidewalks the murky sediment of this flith enters down the steps and through the ee into these subterraneum a bodes, and the ex- ons of all this pestilentia! ‘Sqgregation or filth ro-duce sickness and deat ut the “Health do they propose aoe xe are not moving. W 0 The Sixth ward is worse yet, Going through Mott, and Elizabeth streets one is stunned by the smells arising from the gutters and the heaps of fer- menting straw, old boots and the care: of ani- mals. Park street, from Haxter to Mott, is a reguiar dunghill, worse than any ptace in the city. On the corner of Bayard and Saxter there must be, some- where in the neighborhood, a perfect hole or Tecep- tacle of putrid matter, as the smell that reaches one’s nose on passing by is reminding one of the compost factory over on the Jersey flats. On the corner of Cenire street and Leonard, one corner, the north- east, is one foot higher than the southeast corner, ‘and whenever there is @ heavy rain all the garbage from Baxter street is washed down Leonard to Centre, and there the nouses and cellars on the east side, opposite the Tombs, are almost filled with the filthy stuff thus brought by the surface water, unable to fina another vent, Will not the Health Board move in the matter? Do something to alleviate the wrongs of which the citizens have @ cS night to compiain? In former years, with all the shortcomings of the Street In- spector, there was some effort made every summer to neutratize the influence of decomposing matter in the streets, Chioride of jime was er dis- tributed, the gutters were well sprinkled with 1t, 80 that the bad smelis, the miasma created by the stag- nant pools, were rid of their deadly poison. But even this the “Board of Health” are negiecting. They should do something to save the lives of the Seles 4 or else they may call themselves the “Board of Death. Smallpox in the City. The officials of the Board of Health utter assur- ances of the rapid decrease of smallpox in the city, The disease a few days ago was reported to be on the increase, and one of the schools in the Seven- teenth ward was closed owing to its appearance among the children, When the Board of Health officers recently ordered @ house-to-house vaccination to be made, more than. 200 persons were known to be sick of the disease in this city; but at the present time there are only nine cases, and these are of the form defined as varlolola. Of these cases but two are in the Seventeenth ward, and these have been ordered to the hospital. The Board of Health officers say that there are no more Cases at present than is usual in this city in any healthy season. This gratifying condition of ee ig in @ great measure owing tothe energy of the sanitary officers of the Board, who have visited 125,000 families and vaccinated 50,000 families. The bark Christel, from Bremen, 18 now lying at Quarantine with smallpox on board. she came freighted with the disease on her previous voyage, and after fumigation returned to Europe. On her wecond voyage she brought more than double the number of emigrants sick of the disease that she brought on the first occasion. The officers of the Board of Health express the opinion that she should never have been allowed to come to this port & sec- ond time carrying emigrants, aud as it is bellevea that the vessel 1s thoroughly affected the health authorities will take steps to enter their protest with the Prussian government against her again bringing emigrant passengers to this port. MAYOR'S OFFICE. The Marshal's department of the Mayor's office presented the usual busy scene yesterday. The limited space in front of the Marshal's desk was crowded early in the morning, and from ten o’clock until the closing hour Marshal Tooker, with his as- sistants, Hart and Hall, were kept hard at work an- awering questions, taking complaints, giving infor- mation or advice and adjusting differences, Among the large number of complaints which were adjudi- cated there were very rew out of the ordinary line, The keepers of bogus jewelry establishments came in ior a large share of the attention of the Marshal and hia officers. The establisnments complained of yesterday were:—Oroide Watch Agency, J. Ce ota at No. 179 Broadway; jewelry shops at Nos. 7: Cortlandt street, 95 Chatham sireet, and No, 2 Park Tow. ‘The passenger ticket ern of Rhinelander, in West street, was complained of by Henry Schmidt, Who charged that at the aforesaid establishment he had lost Uy im gold. In all cases the money was recovered for the complainanta, Additional complaints against certain limbs ofthe jaw lor muisdoings were entered by persous who considered that they haa been duped. Marshal Tooker attempted to induce the complain- ants who made charges against the bogus jewelry- men and ticket agenis to commence @ Giminal ro: secution against the swindiers, The compiatnante in each case were loud in their surprise that the city authorities should allow the swindling operators to exist aid carry on thelr nefarious business; but 68 soon as the Marshal informed them that they could be instrumental in breaking up the establis! nis, they had vot time enough to stay here, or they wonldn’t want w be ed im the affair, ‘cane weep didn’ wish the folks at home to think they were such st pid fools as to go Into those places and jose money after all the warnings that had been given them throngh the {i#nALD, the Mayor's note to the coun+ try papers and Marshai Tooker's doings. Thug the secret came out; they oniy wanted their own losses made good, so that they would not be ‘jibed,’? Those who complained to the Marshal yesterday were James McKenna, a sailor from the revenue cut- ter Rescue; James Van Loon, of Wiikesbarre, Pa; Thomas W. Bennett, of Bangor, Me A. Vincent, of Newark, N.J.; Johp Bogart, Joseph §. Jones and Michael Kelly, of Rondout, N.Y. How any man named Kelly, and ely Michael Kelly, could be such a fool ak to imagine that the noundish-looking, soapy-headed loafers who run the establighment he went into—No. 73 Cortiandt street—wouid give him # chance to win enything is past tne comprehension of ordinary individuals. The fact that these jeweiry ow flourish fe ew slimy scoundrels who manage them can aport largely around the city ai @ donbt that “the fooir are not ail ‘ewan zeae WALL STREET USURERS. Brokers and bankers that do business in and about Wall street are compelled, from their meagre capital and the frequently tight condition of the Money market, te borrow money at usurious rates of interest, giving ag security such collaterals as may be in their possession. When the avaliable circulat ing funds of the street are “Tocked up” by @ combi nation intent upon controlling all Operations ip ke the beawy deniers, in order to carry thelr par. chases and to leave a balance in thetr favef at the bank, find it necessary to procuse loans, The rates of interest which these foans bear of course vary with the fluctua, the market.

No new developments were made yesterday in regard to the recent embezzlement by the @ashier or the Central National Bank. Jt cannot yet be shown that over $100,000 have disappeared by the dis- honesty of its late cashier, but a conversation with Mr. Wheelock, the president of the bank, yesterday, revealed a “suspicion” on his part not hitherto ad- mitted. Mr. Wheelock stated that he had now very strong reason to believe that of the alleged $100,000 detaication, My. Sanford had not lost all in spec- ulation, but + he had taken a considerable sum with him at the time of his sudden dis- appearance, and was, therefore, at present by no means short of money. Mr. Wheelock did not be- eve Sanford to be “constitutionally a thief,” but he had, however, irretrievably disgraced himself in using the money of the bank, even if taken with the intention of returning it as soon as he should have succeeded in retrieving his temporary misfortune in his secret stock and gold speculations, Strange to say, the president of the bank has not, he states, yet been able to discover at what period Mr. William H. Sanford, the defaulting cashier, first to make free with the money entrusted to the sal beats of the bank by its trusting correspond- ents. The expressed impression that these unjus- tiflable operations of the cashier are of very recent date ta not joined in by Mr. Wheelock, who, how- ever, declares himself unable to say positively when oe Flere § little operations really were began by ir. Sante . Sanford, The amount of bond given by Messrs. Clark, Pardee & Bates when Mr. Sanford, who had been a partner in that firm, entered upon his duties as cashier or the Central National K WAS $20,000, and the alleged defalcation being $100,000 would leave an actual loss of $80,000. On Thursday the president stated that should ft ap on examina tion that Mr. Sanford had, on leaving, taken no 1g, that the losa nae with him from the vbank—that tothe ik would consist only of the money previousiy taken by Mr. Sanford to carry on his speculations in Wall street—the matter would not be Peed in the hands of the detectives, but the mantle Of charity would be thrown over the crime of the ‘un- fortunate cashier, and he woula be left to pursue his way unmolested save by the re- morse of his own conscience. Since, however, strong hopes are entertained that in case of the ar- rest of the defaulting cashier some of the missing bonds may be recovered, the matter has been placed in the hands of detectives. Mr. Wheelock, the president of the bank, expresses strong hopes that ford will be captured at an early day. In reply to the su; ition that the cashier might have left for Europe, Mr. Wheelock expressed the utmost incredulity, and seemed to rely upon the strong af- fection of the unfortunate man for his family and home to insure his whereabouts being discovered at no very distant day. ALLEGED UNJUST IMPRISONMENT. Rencontre of Words Between Judge Dowlin, and Captain Petty—Alleged Miegal lmpri- senment of a Respectable Woman the Casus Belli. The presiding magistrate at the Tombs Police Court, Judge Dowling, and Captain Petty, of the Fifth precinct, had a slight rencontre of words yes- terday, which, though ending in nothing but words, ‘was short, sharp and decisive while it lasted. The cause of the war of words was the arrest, a few days since, of a respectable woman named Hannah Doyle for throwing slops im the street. On Tuesday the woman was brought before the Judge. The oficer bringing her to the court, on being questioned by the Jadge, said that he saw no offence committed, but Was instructed by Captain Petty to make the arrest upon the stre! of the statements of a colored wo- man. Judge Dowling thereupon ordered Mrs. Doyle to be taken back to the station house and see that somebody was brought to the court who could make & complaint her. After the lapse of three day! ptain Petty appeared with the prisoner yes- terday before Jud, Mlle Ai ie “What do you know of the casef” Judge Dowling asked Captain Petty. 7 “She was arrested for throwing slops in the street, a violation of the Health 1aws,” answered Captain ety. ino made the complaint?” *A colored woman.” “Don’t you know," said the Judge, ‘‘that it is con- trary to law to arrest a person for a misdemeanor without @ warrant, when the offence committed is not observed by the officer, and that police courts are opened for that oge 1? “I don’t deny that, The arrest in that manner _ have been wrong.” “It was wrong in the extreme. Who is safe if evil- disposed pereons are permitted, through spleen, and to gratify Personal malice, to go to a station house with @ complaint of this trivial nature and cause the arrest of @ respectable woman. ‘Your officer a) | eghe before me on Tu morning and says he mows noth! whatever of the case, bat was or- dered to by you, and you hold this woman for three days without one iota of evidence.” “But you should not have sent her back.’” ‘I will not let you dictate to me wnat I should or should not do. You have taken the responsibility of arresting for @ misdemeanor without having seen it committed, and I'll take the brunt of harging ner.” “My shoulders are broad, but I am not in the Wrong,” said Captain Petty. “When you say that, you say what you know to be untrue, You admitted afew moments ago that tho arrest was illegal, and now you contradict your- self. I wish no further conversation on the subject, but will see that the prisoner ives justice.” Captain Petty murmured someting unintelligible, and left the court room. THE NATIONAL GAME. Ivanhoe, of Sing Sing, va. Eagle, of New York. The return game of the match between the above named clubs came off yesterday afternoon at the ‘Elysian Fields, Hoboken, and although as an exhibi- tion of fine playing it would not stand very high on the record it was the means of affording a good af- ternoon’s sport. The storm which raged shortly af- ter noon deterred many, no doubt, from attending, a8 it Was safe to suppose that the grounds had been rendered unit for ball playing, but when the game commenced the grounds were tn very fair condition. The visitors had but eight men present, yet having come so far they determined to make some sort of & show. ‘The Playing on elther side was by no means first class.

Scenes in the Camp—Bathing in the Lake= How the Day is Spent—The Ministers Preseut—Dinner=The News Depot—General Features, Round Lake, July 8, 1869, The morning scenes at this great religious en- campment are of xare beauty and interest, To the man of city habitsit ts wondrously refreshing to rise from the night's cool, delicious slumber, and sally out into the spicy fragrance of the hemlocks when their long, shadowy vistas are firat lighting up, and to drink in the breeze that comes from fleids of new- mown hay. If he be epicurian he wil turn his back on the Saratoga water, whose presence re- Thinds him of the feverish mornings of city life, and while the low voices « of devotion in the great prayer tent are filling the woods with solemnity he will wander out into the glorious sunshine. He may climb above the camp to the wooded knolls, where the thrushes are gayly singing, and watch the mists rise slowly from the meadows, or he may stroll down past the old stone walls, half buried with ivy vines ana flanked with fruit-laden raspberry bushes, on along the path that winds amid the timothy, and through the ferns and ‘beeches down to the shore of the placid lake. A waterfowl skelters off among the reeds gnd lilies, the kingfisher Naps heavily away from his perch on the old dead pine, and over beyond the wide expanse of water, rippling here and there with schools of hungry fish, he will. hear the lowing of cattle and the song of the farmer boy. He may plunge in the clear, cold bath, or row till hts already sharpened appetite is keenly whetted for breakfast. Clusters of birch, whose pliant twigs were sweet to his palate but bitter to his back in his schoolboy Gays, hang over the rush-fringed beach; and sum- mer flowers, like those when he long ago played truant, invite him to gather thelr dew-gemmed. blossoms, In an hour he will return to the stirring camp. The horses m the corral are bustling witn their feed, and wreaths of blue smoke are curling up among the treetops from many a tent. The altar and the aisles are vacant, but every tent is sounding with family devotion; and while he lingers to hear the morning hyuns blend sweetly through the camp the bell summons him to a vreakfast such as only the country can produce, PERSONNEL OF THE MINISTERS PRESENT. One of the most striking features in the encamp- ment is the personnel of the ministers present. There 1s the white-haired veteran of almost three Score years of service in the pulpit. For fifty years his congregations have assembled by the shores of the Kennebec, ‘on the wide prairies, in the sunny valleys of the South, in city and town, and out in the wiid primeval forests. What memories he has of camp meetings held long before many of us were born; what recollections of places that have changed and faces that are no more; what thoughts of the Christian bond that unites all sections and all races in one brotherhood, and what anticipations of joy when he shall soon go up to that great congregation and meet the hundreds and thousands of ms people with whom he has worshipped, and who have gone betore him | DINNER is served In 8 number of large hoarding tents, each accommodating about 300 guests ata sitting, he bill of fare ia excellent and terms very reasonable, fiity cents each for breakfast and tea, and seventy- five cents for dinner, or one dollar per day for three days and upwards. Fresh fruit, cream, butter, eggs, vegetables and meais, direct from the farm, are bountifally provided, and he who seeks respite from the heat and dust and fancy food of the city will find no pieasanter and cheaper place of recrea- tion than Round Lake during the camp meeting. THE AFTERNOON SERVICES consist of silent prayer in all the tents at half-past one, preaching at two, followed by prayer meeting, and @ sermon again at seven, At ten P. M. all the tents are closed, and everybody is expected to retire. One of the most prominent institutions of the place is an immense board structure called ‘Tabernacle Lodge,” intended for the accommodation of clergymen. A portion of the building has been partitioned off for jadies who may come Irom @ distance, and, not intending to remain over @ day or aE not wish to incur the expense of renting a tent. Large, comfortable beds in this edi- fice are let at one dollar anda half per night, for two persons, or ten doliars for the season. THE NEWS DEPOT, under the supervision of Mr. W. C. Palmer, of New York, ts the favorite resort in the intervals between religious services. The fountain and basin in the square before this buiiding is always surrounded by Feat etd charming misses, who divide their atven- ion between the photograph estabitshment and the bookstore. Ail the New York Papers are received regularly within a few hours of their publication, and the Troy, Albany and Sara- toga papers give us the telegraphic news morning and evening. Third Day of the Meeting—Progress of t ExercisesThe Methodist Episcopal Church North and South—Sanctification, the Songs, Tobacco, &c. Rounp Lakg, July 9, 1800, The third day of the national camp mecting has been marked by a continued increase of religious feeling, and all the exercises are of the most inter- esting character. Tne congregation has been largely augmented by late arrivals on the trains from ail parts of the country, the area of tents is rapidly widening in all directions, and the avenues present @ scene of animation seldom equalled on occasions of this kind. Immense an- diences attend, the regular services at tne stand, and all the large prayer meeting tenta are crowded during the intervals between sermons. A very en- thusiastic feeling prevails, The whole Church, in- cluding preachers and laity, have entered into the exercises with great earnestness, and the only topic of conversation on every hand is the spread of the Gospel and revival of the Church. THE SOUTHERN METHODISTS have not aMiliated much with the Northern Confer- ences in this meeting, the division in the Methodist Episcopal Church on the subject of slavery, which took place some years ago, still separating the two religious sections. Since the close of the war and the settlement of the slavery question the confer- ences have made several attempts to effect a re- union; but very little success has been met with beyond the establishment of a more harmonions feel! between individual mem- bers of the Northern and Southern Churches. The political differences of sentiment among the preachers crops ont occasionally, however, as was lustrated lagt evening at the cl men’s prayer meeting in the large Con; sti tent. After a protracted and unusually demonstrative season of Caen and meg oe | one zealous preacher, evidently with no other motive than a pw Christian desixe for the of the government and country, pro- hat all unite in special prayer for President Grant and the national administration, A preacher from ee and brother of a New York Alderman, immediately sprang up and emphatically objected W any such proposition, asserting that President Grant and the members of his Cabinet were no better than. other men, and were not sup- posed to be special objects of anybody's considera- tion on an occasion like this. These remarks were met by an immediate retort, and a wet blanket was rapidly settling upon the religious element of the meeting when @ skilful fank movement silenced the contestants. The subject, however, did not rest here, and at bedtime was freely discussed in some of the tents. SANCTIPICATION and perfect holiness seems to be the key-note of all the sermons, and the burden of prayer. ‘There had been a great deal of argument among the preachers on the ground respecting the degree of holiness or sanctification attamable, and the members seemed to be avout equa ily divided on the subject. The ground taken by che advocates ol this theolo- gical point is that the forgiveness of ain, which takes lace when @ sinner sincerely unites with the Vuurch and devotes himseif to a Christian life, 1s but an tnitiatory step in the work of salvation, and that itis the duty of every new convert to persistenct seek in prayer and by an exercise of faith, an ¢ ve dence to the heart tbat God has accepted tin as wholly sanctified. THE USE OF TODAC 00 | is emphatically denounced in many of the sermons, and 18 enumerated wiih pride, vanity, licentiwus practices and other sinful indulgences as being not only pd to the professing Christian, buc offensive to . Exhorters proclaim against It, narrations of Christian experience refer to the aban: donment of the use of the ‘debasing, filthy weed,” and many in thetr prayera implore the Alinighty to exercise His power in cleansing the Church of topacco, The zealons advocates of this reform are, however, in the minority, like the plain dress jady members, who, eschew! all ornament, wear oulre bonnets and denounce jewelry and ele- gant attire ag paraphernalia of the devil, ‘There are a few of the latter class here, and one of them yes- terday, in relating her Christian experience, stated how she stripped off her fine dressea and diamonds and earrings when she joined the Church, and now oan God that she had no “Mmarkage of the devil!’ upon her, h TAB EDUCATION OF MINISTERS has been @ anbject of remark in some of the sermons pen the duties of Methodiata, in ition to the idea which has hitherto prevailed that the Holy Spirit in calling @ man to the ministry supplied him with all the requisites for an eMficient preacher of the Gospel. Methodists for ‘many ‘years have held that a collegiate education was en- lirely ‘unnecessary for @ minister if his heart Was filied with’ the Holy Spirit, and some- times encouraged young men of no intellectual acquirements whatever to enter the pulpit. It is eat urged that as the various Nee snap gO cluding some of rn organizations od day, are employing hen of great talent and learnin, a6 champions the Meth Church must quali Sts preachers to combat with them, and to be defend- ers of doctrine as weil as exhosters and revivalists, ‘THE EXERCISES since yesterday morning have not been marked by any ular featm owing to the un{avorab! ‘ Hato of the weather, euterday aitornonn Hoveraad Alfred Cookman, of Wilmington, Delaware, hed gn eloquent sermon from the text “Be ye filled with the Spirit’?

M., and 1s still pouring down at two o'clock, with no prospect of clearing off to-day, The soil being of @ sandy nature receives the Water as fast as it falls, so that there are no ols about the ground and no mud, The tents and Baitdings are all constructed to shed rain well, and with the exception of the interference with public services th the circle very little inconvenience is ex- perlenced. Preaching will take piace this afternoon and evening in the big tent and the prayer meetings coutunue as usual. OUR SUMMER RESORTS, MAGARA FALLS,’ FJall Season at the Falle—But Few Visitore— Why the Place is Losing Popularity—Views of the Rapids—Objects of General Interest Spraybows. NIAGARA FALLS, July 5, 1860. The hotels at Niagara Falls have been open for a Month, but have hardly had guests enough to pay their bills for the very dim gas they burn.’ The season, 60 called, does not appear to have com- menced yet, and had it not been for some parties from Buffalo and other surrounding places who went to spend Independence Day at the Falls, the mammoth hotels would have looked very deserted. Most of these parties went to the Cataract House, which appears to be the favorite hotel of Buffalo peopie. As for the rest of the guests at that hotel, at the International, the Spencer House, or the Clif- ton House, on, the British side, they were few and transient, and those mostly who pay @ fy- ing visit for @ day or a0, just to see the wonders of Niagara and then rush away. There seemed to be nobody there making Niagara a sum- mer resort. Perhaps there are few who do this any year compared with those who spend the summer at Newport, Saratoga or Long Branch, and then even in the busiest times at the* hotels the gueste are mostly transient. I asked the disappointed and anxious hotel proprietors and their subordinates the cause of this paucity of guests. They replied the weather had been unusually cold; that,,in fact, there hadbeen no real summer weather to induce peopie to come or stay at the Falls. This was true as regards the cold, but only true in part with regard to the want of| customers. The truth is Niagara ls not such a popular and favorite place of resort as some other places, and is declining comparatively in this respect. There are several causes operating to pro- duce this result, It is too far, too long and tedious @ journey from New York city and the other great centres of population on the Atlantic slope. People find more convenient places with special advantages nearer home; and as to the Western people, when they leave home they prefer ta ‘0 to New York, or to the other great cities Kast and jorth, where they Can enjoy amusements and com- bine business witn pleasure. The same remark applies to the Southerners. Grand, beautiful and unequalied as the natural scenery of Niagara is, the mass of people are not suf- ficientiy impressed with it to remain long, and are satisiied with a glance at it asacuriosity. It is » lace for poets and lovers of nature, but bas not lasting attractions for people in general. Seaside summer resorts, as Newport and Long Branch, have advantages for health in the pure ocean air and bathing, and for the rich in their pretty cottages, which Niagara has not, while Sara\ and other spas have the advantege of health-reatoring mineral waters. Then the hotel keepers at the Falls are too stiff and unaccommodating, They treat their guests as if they were conferring favors on them, rather than a8 customers to whom they should feel thankful for their Indeed, this remark will apply to many hotel proprietors and employés at our watering Jie and hotels gen- erally, aa well as to those of lany peopla ‘alls also on account are deterred from to the of the high hotel c! and other expenses. One has to put his hand in his pocket continually to pay. for seeing every particular locality and to move frony ‘one point to another, waile the hackmen are most: exacting and act as if they ruled the place. But an~ other reason why people are not going s0 much to the Falls and to Other summer resorts in this coun- try is that many morego to Europe than formerly. ith the facilities of steam navigation the Atianuc Ocean has become like a lake, and the cost of a voyn age to and short residence in Euro; is scarce! more than the expenses at our wi ing places, . But to return to Niagara. I hardly ever saw the falls und rapids and surrounding scenery to greate! advantage or with more pleasure. The water Lake Erie and the river above the falla was feet higher than I ever had seen it, I was told itwae six feet higher than usual, Over the whole om of the upper lakes there must have been a of rain, besides @ vast amount of water irom th melting of snow and ice in the spring.

Of course the li petuous torrents of the raj and the grander rus! of water down the marvellous falls were unusual beautiiul and sublime.
