RELIGIOUS. SERMONS AND SERVICES YESTERDAY. Characteristic and Intéresting Discourses by Rev. Drs, Hepworth, Chapin and Ander- sop, Revs, Henry Ward Beecher, J. Cotton Smith, W. P. Corbit and Fathers Preston and Griffin. According to the general report the vartous churches were well attended yesterday, The weather certainly was pleasant enough to induce people to go to church, if not for piety, at least for the pur- pose of displaying their “Ane feathers.” It does not appear, however, that the clergymen generally distinguished themselves either by the brillancy or originality of the discourses. Such as were more than ordinary may be found below and will, no Goubt, well repay perusal, CHURCH OF THE MESSIAR. , Temptations of New York—Discourse to Young Men by Rev. George H. Hepworth, The Church of the Messiah, corner of Park avenue and Thirty-fourth street, was last evening crowded to Its utmost capacity to hear tne fifth in the series Of discourses to young men by Rev. George H. Hep- worth, the pastor. The subject was, ‘‘Temptations of New York," and the text, the basis of the dis- course, Job, xvni., 10—“"The snare is laid for him in ‘the ground anda trap for him in the way.’ There 1s no change in a man’s life like that when he leaves home and goes to seek his fortune. In hits village he is the centre of an admiring circle of friends, Hig father has prophesied great things of bim; his mother thinks him purer than any one else; his sisters think him perfection, When he sets foot in a city like this the curtain rises, He comes here without money, but not without hope. He is compe'led with his slender means to take an attic room, dreary aud sunless, No one cares whether he lives or dies. He enters the crowd. He thinks he must take care of himself, He has no friendship to lft Lim up, [tis a hard world he has entered upon. It is a world that gives as little as it can and asks all it dares. He enters on his career with boundiess hopes. He has nad beautiful dreams, He thinks he can accomplish almost anything. How many hopes such as his have been wrecked, Unless she has a strength within himself the chances are foarfwily against him, and there may be sorrow and ruin before him, How many young men drop out of existence fina few years! How many ensnared) How many trapped to ruin and death! A few years age he stood on the shores of Nantucket. There was aship onthe water, She was wrecked and dis- masted by @ ruthiess omniscience. ibe master- Piece of man’s ingenuity was in & moment ruined and lost. He had seen worse wrecks than this, Young men wrecked, stranded, irrevocably lost. There Was no picture 80 wWofal as that of a lie wasted and ruined, The worst trouble in the out- set with young men was @ desire to see what life is made of. This meant that they would Give into the darkness, taste the fruit and run a fear- inl risk. When he was a boy and studied geography the centre of Africa was designaied “unexplored territory.’? There were many things in lite it were better not to know. A great many temptations stand in the way of every pure hearted boy coming to this city to seek his fortune. There were a great many men who made it their business to live on tue ruin of otbers. Not only were there those who would rob you put those—and often aided by damnable genius—whose business was to ruin the soul, Spiders’ webs wore there which men and women are busily weaving Jo the street. Unless you are strong you will be drawn in the meshes. On the street is the pretty woman beckoning to rum. There is a man who shows money and lures you to disgrace and infamy. ‘Once fallen, once ruined the former laugis at you and the latter is ready to kick you into the grave. He wondered that the Protestant churches were pot open oftener during the week. Heil was always open and the devil was perpetually ut work. He would to God that every church mm the land was open all the time. ile proceeded to speak of Various temptations besetting young men, taking up that of drinking first, This was a trite theme, ‘He had been told that it was the business of some men to jure thetr customers by the pleasant wine. Under the guise of sociality and friendship many young men were lured to drinking. Most youug ‘men think they are strong and taat there is no dan- ger, and slips on the sidewalk when Le least expec's it. The craving for drink when the appetite ts formed becomes insatiate. He wouid he couid paint the horrors following indulgence tu drink. Next le spoke of that nameless temptation, which he felt it his duty above any Teellug of dclicacy to speak of. Few men could look God in the tace without a blush. Physical mtegrity was not often found, but when found was maxnificent here was Joose. The aroma of home was fast and majesiic in its magnificence, Sociciy being lost, The impurity of men counted not against them in society, Men siniied upon them. Women took them by the hand, Women should shrink with horror at having their shadow cast upon their ilves. Hie spoke plain. Plain words came best from his lips. After dwelling further on this point, he next spoke of the temptation of gambling. All the worid gambied. In New York, in their very homes, 1 was doing more barm and exciting a more demoralizing infuence than anyihing else. Gam- viing made ile victim its slave; it hplds its victim in {ts ruthless grasp till he dies. He traced with a graphic power of description the fascinations ef this passion, and descriping, in the course of his remarks, the interior of our gambling hells, he followed tts victitas through robbing their employers to tue State Prison, to lost honor and ruin. Speaking, in conciuston, of the remedies against the temptations of city life, he urged that they first keep in mind the old bome in the country, the good father and mother and pure sisters left benind under that far away humble roof, Fathers and mothers die. He would give ten years of jife if he could cai! to life his good old father and ood, dear mother, It was too late now. The fathers avd motocrs of many young men defore him were still living. They should keep them @ear ib their memories, Many young nen were ashamed of their fethers, The old man'srbetoric was bad, awfully baa; he could not make @ polite bow, on his orawny hand he would wear no kid gioves; but he was an Doness man, worth a thousand such sons as those ashamed of him. Passing from this topic he alladed to the subject of matrimony and advised young men to marry sensible Women, although few of such are to be found nowadays—a lew who would preter the lain hie ery dress to silk and the plain gold riug the brilliant diamond given by their husband and not paid for. Hia inal advice was to associate them- selves with some religious denomtnation. If they would make their lives successful they must wai ip the strait and narrow path. FIRST BAPTIST CHUACH. The Orama—Penunciation of the New York Theatres—Sermon by the Rev. Thomas D. Anderson. ‘The chapel of the Firat Baptist church, situated on the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Park avenue, ‘was yesterday filled to its utmost capacity by the élite of the church-goers of Murray Hil!, who listened, with marked attenuon, to the discourse of the Key. Dr. Anderson on “The Dyama,” as represented now- adays at the New York theatres. The reverend gentleman took his text from Ephe- sians v., 1l—‘And have no fellowsmp with the uafruitfal works of darkness, but rather reprove them;” and went on to say that his theme was not m accordance with his tastes, but a duly devotved He saw the enemy on lim aa a keeper of souis. come down on hig flock like a flood from the mountains.

He said that, latterly, reii- gion had become a mere professional formality; bat he would speak an encou ing word to the Tew who were pulling against the stream, He dressed his hearera wit the tender feelings of a pastor. He did not appear as a lecturer, but a8 a shepherd. He did not approach them as @ reformer, but rather in the capacity of a father caling on his erring cjidren. Since the beginning the frujtiul works of darkness have been @ stumbling biock im the way of the Works of light. The works of darkness muat be re- proved and the Cospel of ight must penetrate. It i# the duty o ry one who has the guidance of olvers to ade t od he would to-day expose the glaring intyy of one of the most dangerous evils Uns bi face of our fair city.

The edict of fashion has gone forth, and this fickle goddess demands that you must link yourself with the times or be contraband ofsociety. If our fashionabdie society must havo the spectacular drama represented before their dangh- ters, why not introduce the managers and the blonde troupe into their families, where they can witness the spectacle in & clearer light, and where your danghters can be made the companions and confl- dants of those self-styled artists; and parents and guardians, shouid you see an impropriety in 60 domg, remember that the blood of those you have Tuined by your remisaness will rest ou your shoulders, The reverend gentleman in conclusion exhorted his hearers to refrain tn toto from visiting the New York theatres as pow conducted, and gave hig audl- ence to understand that his remarks applied with equal force to the Twenty-third street theatres and a certain theatre on Broadway, corner of Thirteenth street, a3 to other more notorious institutions. CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PATERNITY, The Advent of Christ—Secrmon by Rev. Dr. Chapin. There was a large and fashionable attendance at the services at this church yesterday morning. Rev. Dr. Chapin preached from Luke ii!., 4—“The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.” The preacher said the work in which we had now eutered was clothed with the commemoration of Advent. Tne order of the Christian year was now commenced, In one sense that voice crying in the wilderness was only one among other voices, There were the voices of human aspiration heard along the line of ages. And now ia the wilderness of the Jordan came tue spirit of power which fuldiled the description of the propiet. And what confirmation did that voice re- ceive from our common humanity? There wasa significance in the utterance of such a voice of itself, and were there not occasions even now when tl significance of that voice came to us airesh? We Know What attitude the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Scribes presented towards Christ, ‘They were a people who did not understand what the new dispensation required. But in spite of ali opposition, from the moment of Christ’s advent on earth Christianity went forth and rapidly extended itseif, Obristianity went forth as a ighting and conquering power in its earlier ages, and “the way was prepared for the Lord.’ ‘thus, then, were two advents; for now, at the present day, Christ bad come again. He came as a spirit ual process, and as such moved throughout the ages and throughout the world. He came now; not with apy suddén outburst of millennial glory; not accompanied by shouts and the sounding of trumpers—no, but he came in @ spiritual manuer; and in this way Christ was always coming. ST. AMN'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. Apostolicity and Unity of the Catholic Church— Lecture by Rev. Father Preston. The Roman Cgtholic cburch of St. Aun’s, Eighth street, was thronged last evening to hear Rey. Father Preston’s second lecture on the unity and apostolicity of the Holy Roman Church. The preacher took for the premises of his argument on the apostolicity of the Church the unvroken and lineal succession, from the time of the Saviour to the present day, of the bishops of tae Roman Church, tne words of our Lord to the apostle Peter:—*1 art Peter, aud on tals rock I will build my church and be with it to the end of the worid.”” Jie promise thus given was not conveyed to any other Cuurch but inat which recognizes in the Pope of Rome the yicegerent of Gott bimseif. ‘hese Words are on the record of that scriptural history which 1s the Toundation of all Christian sects, aud no theological casuistry can make the meauing apply in any other sense than that Christ 1a laying the corner stone of the Catholic Cuurch in- tended it for ils own, with which Ue should remain until tine shouid be no more, Its apostolicity is above the reach of argument or impeachment, and its unity is that palpable and glorious living truth which all men cau see and understand. From the North to the South Pole, from the Occident to the Orient, one harmonious faith is taugnt by the Church of elguteen centuries old. Before its altars, whether in the forests of South America or by the suinipg sands of Alrica, the one creed is uttered to the gréat Creator of the universe. ‘The fires of peraecution have tried the strength and tem- per of this Charch a3 none otuver has been tried. The defection of some of its children, nurtured at its very bosom, brought scandal for a winle upon f, the topgue and pen of slander have done their best to dlacken its fair reputation, but this mighty aud un- conquerable creation of divine hands has come through all its trials tresh and vigorous as tne day it was iaurchea upou the world from ihe sacrificial altar of Cavalry. PLYMOUTH CHUICH The Sin Against the Holy Ghost—A Prayer Meeting in Hell—Sermon by Henry Ward Beecher. Plymouth church had not its usual crowd yester- day morning. Every seat was occupied, but the crowds who stand around the pewa daring the entire service were not there, The sudject of Mr. Beecher'’s discourse was “The Sin agaiust the Holy Ghost, and How it Manifests itself To-day.” It was treated with more than the usual abdiiity and*power invariably shown by this great and popular preacher. The sermon was founded on Matthew XiL, 31, 32—"Wherefore I say unto you, @l manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be for- given untoimen, And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of Man it shall be forgiven him; but Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, netther in this world, neither in tue world to come.” Upon the sabdject men- tioned? in this text Mr. Beecher said there was much anxiety, but very Nitle Knowledge. The text was, however, neither mysterious nor Obscure; it con- tained a truth tuat belongs to Seripture irom the beginning to the end. The circumstances under witich the text was ultered would give the cine to its meaning. The controversy of the Master detailed in the chapter Was not about heresy, but about muracics, Mr. Beecher then summarized the trotngs tanght in this chapter. 1be@ Geliverance of the Sabbath from the yoke of bondage, the healing of tne witn - ered hand, the casting out of the blind and dumb devil—w hen these things were scen by the Phari- sees, and When the moral truth within these mira- cles was lit up by the divine rays of the Master's holy spirit, they showed go entire @ perversion of their Moral nature as to indicate that they so natur- ally and systematically reviled God’s gooduess that they tad gone beyond all spiritual bang ‘That was toe real aim against the Holy Ghost, and is Was set forth over ana over again in the Scrip. tures, the #0 bidating and cauterizing the moral senge that evil shail become good, and good shatl become evil. Men so perverting ail that wags once good in them a that they shall come to belleve that Vices were justiied and to call them virtucs; end virwues vices, the virtues contemned.

SOUTH REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH, Christianity as Applied to the State—SNermon by the Rev. J. Cotton Smith. The Rey. J. C. Smith delivered an able discourse on the above subject last evening, at the South Re- formed Dutch church, Fifth avenue, corner of Twenty-first street, to @ lurge and attentive congre- gation, He selected his text from Revelations, 1, 5—‘tAnd the Prince of the kings of the earth.” He remarked that the assemblage of the Ecumenical Council justly attracted the attention of the religious world in more points than one, but principaliy on account of its claims to supremacy in the affairs of social life and State. The head of the Romish Church saw fit, as Vicar of Christ, to legisiate and interfere in the relations of soctal Ite. ‘The law of Christianity to the State was very close and affected the family, but men were bound to it by trresistabie laws. The question naturally arose what formed this relation or what constitutea the relations of Christianity to the State. The theory advanced by a-certaim section was that there was & divine society with an infallublg head, supreme in all eartuly affairs. This bigs theory and claim had been advaficed by the Pope and has been ad- vanced anew. The more vehemently it was denied the more vehemently it was dented. The only true head was Chriat. The preacher having reviewea the Pope’s Encyclical of 1868 and pointed out the spirit of opposition to all religious training and civil liberty and progress, he said that the principal topic which would occupy the attention of tue Council would be the enforce- ment of the doctrine of the tnfallibility of tne Pope. It will be found that no one wili be allowed to enjoy alllance with that Church who oppose that dogma. Ifa Catholic, tbued with a spirit of progress and enlightenment, discern the ridiculous pretensions of his spiritual head and refuse to concede them he must suffer many things, perhaps excommunication. ‘The present use of the Council was to lnaugarate a crusade against Mberty and freedom of conscience. it will meet with @ spirit of antagonism, and it may have to be rescinded, The Church of Rome had enjoyed the devout adherence of nearly all Catholic couatrles tli these latter days, when the irksome and uncivil preteasions of the Papal turone could be borne no longer, Austria, France and Spain declare they will inaugurate for themselves civil liberty and freedom of conscience. The clergy as arule vote for the claims of the Papacy under the iron rod of coercion, ‘there were many nobie excep- tions, prominent among whom was the Archbishop of Paris, and they must not forget that noble man who has recently left us who declared that bis soul while under the Church was as counpletely fettered as if he bad been chained band and foot. They lived in a majority ta this country and they should do all in ther power to ,consummate that majority and thus sustain id push forward the van of liberty and progress. The teaching of tle Bible in the public schools was now agitated, Sup- pose they exclude the Bible and its teachings, they would not thereby secure liberty of conscience. They couid have no other system. The system of education prevalent in the Roman Church would never do for their country—it would be mere secular education. The institution as 1¢ now existed was one of the grandent features of this coufiry and the admiration of ail foreigners. TO break up the sys- tem into different denominations would rear us up a class of citizens educated and, perhaps, tg 4 certain moral, but not the git! of Unity 1s strength, ‘The Church of Rome would Jay its biigated hand and fron rod upon this algo. The Evangelical Alliance Would meet here in the coming year and they should seek to strengthen ita hands, for it wil bea glorious meeung and will accomplish great and important results, ‘Their duty was to up- old the gtorious principles of the reformation and seek to propagate civil and religious liberty and education, and guard with a watchful care the tusti- tuttons which tend to make them religious, moral and useful citizens, opposed to ignorance and bigotry, and enjoyjng the fruits of a pure aud glori- ous gospel rightfully disseminated, looking unto their only Head and Prince, their Lord and Saviour, who was Head over His Church. JOUN STREET METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, The Evile of Religions Donbting—Sermon by the Rov. W. P. Corbit. There waa a good attendance upon the morning service at this church, yesterday. Rev. Wu. Vor- bit, the pastor, conducted the ceremonies, and preached a long and very able sermon, taking the text from Matthew xiv., 31—‘‘And imme- qiately Jesus stretching forth his hand, caught him, aud said unto him, ‘0 vmoa of iittie faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?’ ” from which he de- duced the subject of lisa discourse—'The Eyils of Religious Doubting.’” It ig probable that 1t would be supposed by many that @ sernion bearing a title such as ths, was a de- nunciation of Atheism aud Delsim and ail osher forma of non-belief, instead of which It was an exposition of the eviiil nofsin done by those who, having pre- viously had faith in che surety of their future salva tion, Commit some sinful act and suddenly become deubtful of the eflicacy of repentance. Mr. Oorbit first touched on the evils of doubt in the common affairs of life; then branching off he showed that re- hgious doubting was injurious to the doubters, for it withered his joys and weakened his power for good and would lead to sin. It matters not the creed of aman; so soon as he doubts the power of the blood of Jesus to wash his soul from s{f he takes hiseye and mind from Jesus and sinks into the sea of si. Jesus came into the World in order that ali men might be redeemed, aud if they but believed tm Him He will accomplish thelr redemption. He did not die on the cross that only those wao believed intiim and committed no sin should be ed; but rather that those who having sin: ‘The utmosi pow ove a to give his life for his friend, whe Jesus gave His for His enemies. - If men were judged by their infirmities not a man would have eutered heaven to this day. The blood of Jesus will save any sinner out of the pits of hells therefore, when your heartstrings are wringing and the grave is Raping, coubt not that Jesus will receive you graciously. If you bad but neard, as I did last night, a dying woman ares with her laet breath @ hymn expressive of her happiness at the surety of entoring the “celestial kingdom,"’ you would néver more nave doubted the Saviour. Christianity ts Kept in this world only by @ miracio; if it were not it would long ago lave been swept into erernity by the united powers of ¢arth and hell, Jn concluding tue reverend gentleman said:—Have faith in God; (aite ta ali Mis doings; let your faith ve a naked faith; jet ip net rest upon anything you do uor what you do not do, but rest it apon the blood of Jesus. ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH, The Use aud Above of Images aud Pictures Sermon by the Rev. Father Grifin. At St. Stephen's Catholic church, Tweaty-eighth street, near Third avenue, yesterday, the Rev. Mr. Grifin preached on the “Worship of Images” to an overflowing congregation. After reading tha Gospei of the day, from St. Luke 1, 1-6, and earnestly im- ploring the rich among the flock to remember the wants of the poor during the coming week, and thus giadden many a cold and desolate Sreside at Christ- mas by their benevolence, he proceeded with his discourse on tmages.

The Train Not on the Right Track for Cooper Institute—George Francla Does Not Lece ture. The lovers of Ireland and admirers of ‘the most fearless, popular and eloquent speaker in America,” mustered in strong force last evening outside Cooper In#titute. Their intention had been to at- tend Mr. Train’s lecture on ‘The Old Fogies of the Bible,” but on arriving at the hall in which, according to announcement, the lecture was to be delivered they found an obstacie to their entrance in the “shape of closed doors and the burly forms of a posse of the watchful guardians of the public peace, who, in answer to the oft re- ted query, “What's upt—ain’s he going to lec- ure Ltrs a was 4 Fide bc pat ere eg night,” and then, fer tones, ‘Move on will yer? The wiser portion of the would-be audience moved on as requested, simply remarking. “George Francis will have to do better thaa this.» Others who were sympathizers with the lecturer's call, ‘Rally, Fentans. Down with England; yy with America,” would not “move on’ they had given their opinion, which was that it was the enemies of Ould Ireland, sure, and that they were afraid of Train impeaching Grant, and, sure enough, on the entrance to the In- stitute was o solitary poster announcing that George Francis would lecture on the subject of Lhe impeach- ment of Genera! Grant. By ninv’ o'clock, howeve! any little excitement that had been created had dis- appeared, and the crowd bad good-naturedly obeyed the mandate of the police and moved on. On appiying to the janitor of Cooper Institute It was ascertained that Mr. Train had never engaged the room for the jecture, but that about a fortnight ago his secretary called at the office ana asked ir tho hall was disengaged for last Sent and was iuformed that it was at liberty, and could be let for the purpose of @ religious lecture on com- plying with the usual terms, namely, paying a de- posit of half the sum cnarged. This the secretary promised to do, but not calling again the hall was not considered let, and consequently not opened. The gentleman who acts for Mr, Train gives an entirely duferent statement.

The following interesting letter was yeaterday placed by government at the disposal of the press:— From Joun Kink, the Political Agent and her Majes- ty’s Consul, Zanzibar, toU. Gonnr, Esq,, Secretary to Governinent, Bombay, Political Department.

There Dr, Livingstone would tod not only the goods sent after he started on lis journey, but also @ second supply despatched last year to await huis expected arrival. He wilt then be in possesston for the first time of the important discoveries of Sir Samucl Baker which were published subsequent to his departure, and ee maps will nodpubt gaide the fulure search. 1 now do myself the honor to enclose, for the in- formation of the Right Honorable the Governor in| Council, @ copy of the general portion of a lette that I have this day recetved, The remainder of Dr. Livingstone’s lettor, which I have omitted, rejates| entirely to the despatch of additional stores, which I shail lose no time 1n sending, at his request, to Ojijt. It ts also mentioned that a credis had n jong ago applied for on Messr3. Smith & Fieming, of Bombay, to be drawn in Zanzibar, in payment of goods and As Messrs. H. A. Fraser & Co.s the agent of Messrs. Smith & Fleming. have recetved no inatruc- Vions to this effect, 1 doubt not the order either has been lost or is still in the hands of some Arab trad- ers in Africa. ‘the chief pomt of geographical interest in the present letter of Dr. Livingstone is the statement that the sources of the Nile are to be found in the lakes and rivers that drain the great valley in which Cazembe 1s situated, lying to ge south of Tangan- yika, between ten and twelve acgrees of south jatitude. The town of Cazembe, from which Dr. Livi stone’s last letters were dated, bas been already visited and described by two Portuguese missions, Is is situated on @ cuain of lakes and rivers that ow northwards, ‘The Chambezi, having collected by many streams the waters of the northern slope of the aamp ele- vated plains, flows to join Lake Bungweoio; this again Is connected with Lake Moero by the Loupuia, on whose banks the town of Cazembe is bull. Moero in its turn 18 drained by the Sualaha into another Jake, named Ulenge, and here exploration ends. Natives have told Dr. Livingstove that Ulenge is an isiand-studded lake, whose waters ota the Lufira, a large river coming from the western Hide of some great plain whose eastern slope is drained by the Chambezl. This united stream, some aay, enters the Tanganyika, and thence by the Loanda into Lake Chowambe, but Dr. Livingstone’s informants are not unanimous, and some assert that the Ludira pasees tothe west of Tanganyika and so to the lake Chowambe, which, Dr. Livingstone thinks, is the game aa the Albert Nyanza of Sir Sam- uel Baker. In fact, the interest of the journey centres in the southern connections of the Alvert Nyanza, and Arab traders generally agree in thinking that & water communication does exist between that and the Tanganyika, but I have not wet with auy one who professes to Lave traced out this communica tion, From Arabs who visit Cazembe 1 learn that the lakes now described by Dr. Livingstone are of considerabie size, probably from five to ten: days’ March in length, and, like Nyassa, Tanganyika aud the Albert Nyanza, overhung by high mountain slopes, which open out in bays and valleys, or ieave great plains, which, during tue rainy season, become flooded, 80 that caravans March ior days through water kncedeep, ha 9 for higher ground on which to pasa the night.

One Thousand Dollars Reward Offered For Her Recovery. Apont a yeek ago there appeared im the per- sonal colamn of the HERALD an advertisement offer- Ing $1,000 reward for the recovery of -a little girl answering to thé name of Corinna Lewis, seven years of age, with long fowlug flaxen batr and clear hazel eyes. ‘The mother inserted this advertisement, and she also gave @ description of the man she had good reason to believe had kidnapped her daughter. ‘The little girl and the man, who Is the father of the child, were both met with in this city early yester- day morning, and about twelve o’clock yesterday were taken before Judge Hogan, at the Tomos Police Court. They were accompanied by detective Heath, of Boston, and Francis M. Smith, a constable of the same city, and detective Woolridge, of the Sixth precinct, The name of the man, who is twenty-nine years of age and of gentlemanly appearance, is Dr. Wililam Lewis, of Boston. The circumstances, as related in court, afford another confirmation of the old-fashioned adage that tratn ig stronger than fiction and another powerfal iins- tration of woman’s devotedness and man’s villany. Little Corinna had been placed, by an order of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, in the custody of the mother, Mrs. Lewis, as the result of @ divorce suit which she had been under the necessity of entering in that court, constrained thereto by her husband’s inconstancles and cruelties. Dr. Léwis had by force obtained this child from her mother, and had brought her into this city atter travelling through Canada so as to avoid puranit of tie detec- tives, who were placed immediately on the track as soon as the mother discovered she lo33 of the child. About two o’clock yesterday morning the Boston detectives, assisted by Woolbridge, fouad father and ohitd at 73 Kast Seventieth street. When Dr. Louis was brought before Jadgo Oe ‘he complained that he had been taken from his with the child, and brought through the streets to the station by the police, they having no warrant or pe authority to justify the arrest, and said that such a proceeding was a very high-handed out- rage. He appealed to the Judge thai vefore any ex- amination took place that he should have an oppor- tunity of consulting with counsel. Jurige Hogun at once consented to this, and said the request was a very reasonab.e one, and the hearing was adjourned unul twelve o'clock. By this time the greatest possible interest was manifested in the case by all who had an opporta- nity of hearing anything avout the arrest. On be- haifofthe mother, the derectives from Boston re- tained Mr. W. F. Howe as counsel, and Dr. Lewis had secured Mr. H. L. Crosby as his counsel. Mr. Crosby, in a lengthy address, urged upon Judge Hogan that there was no authority for the arrest, and urged the dismissal of his client and the restoration of the child to the custody of the father. Mr. Howe said he would ask his Houor’s attention jor a few moments while he gave to him a short statement of the circumstances that had led the ersons then present to be brought belore that court. Yhe defendant, Dr, Lewis had pursued a life of open and unbiushing immorality, and had stown an eutire absence of affection to one who had, by her devotion and Jove for him, raised him from poverty and obscurity to @ position of socjal distinction and given him the command of a very nea for- tune, aud, what was more, had generously found lim the means by which he had obtained the education that had enabled him to maintain that social position, Some years since Mrs. Lewis, who was @ lady living in the’ highest circles of soctety, and a lady of education, great rsoual attractions and tinmense wealth had fallen jn love with the defendant, who at that time was not @ manof any education. With a generosity that Was almost unprecedented, and wiih a devotion and self-sacrifice that ought to have awaxened the devo- tion and gratitude of any man on whom this love was lavished, however degraded he might naturally-ve, she sent this Mr. Lewis to coilege before aliowing him to become her husband, paying every cent of the expenses, and thus fitting him to be tatreduced to those circles in soclety of Which sie was so bril- Nant and distinguished a member. ‘They-were married, and the resu’t was the birth Of the little girl, who was now asking the protection of the Court. Not very Jong after the child was born Lewis, instead of being the faisituiand devoted husband that so good @ wife deserved to possess, Went abroad and fn rtotous living and licentlousness absolutely squandered the colossal fortune that the fenerosity of hia wife bad placed at bis disposal. Hie entered into mesailiances with femuie theatrical celebrities and ladies frati put fair, and his amoure became so notorious that Mrs. Lewis applied to the Supreme Court of Massachusetjs for a divorce, which court gave an order tiat the child should be given to the cure of the mother ay the litigation Involved im the divorce suit, The deiendant, knowing that the mother loved that chiid with all tue love of a mother, and would sacrifice fortune and life for it, resolved to — her, and in violation of the order of the Massachusetts court had kidnapped her away. On this being inade known an order was issued for hts arrest for contempt of court. He, however, weat West to avoid ine serving of that order, and was at Jength found in thts city. Upon this state of facts Mr. Howe begged that the Judge would nold the child in safe custody until the necessary papers could be procured from Boston and until the moter couid arrive and claim ber daughter. Mr. Crosby strong!y objected to thia course, He Said that there was no evidence against ar. Lewis before the Couri, and that Judge Hogan nad no juria- diction; that ir the detectives ventured to take the child from the custody of its father it would beat their peril if bloodshed ensned, and he might say that it would not be surprising if it did ensue. He, however, wished to say that they wished the matter to be disposed of by legal tribunal, and any legal judgment they, of course, would respecttully obey. . Howe sald his client would be quite satisiied if the child was placed in the care of any person, temporarily, the Court pot Sa apport. Judge Hogan toen ordered that detective Wool- ridge should retain the littie girl in his care until tweive o'clock, this day (Monday), by which time counsel on both sides would have an o»portanity of appiying to the Supreme Court in this city a8 to whom the custody of the child should be awarded, As there was no evidence against Dr. Lewis before him he sould not detain him. Mr. Crosby wished to state that he was satisfed With the child being in the care of detective Wool- ridge, but he wished to iaform the officers that if @ny attempt was made to remove tne child from Woolridge it would be resisted unto death. Mr. Howe a: thing to justify such a statement, amd that Mr. Crosby might be fully assured that tie order of the Court could would be implicitly obeyed, Miss Corraua Lowi then left with Woolridge, who seemed very proud of his adopted daughter, and who Will not care Vory much about parting with her. Mrs. Lewis has been communicated with by tele- graph, and is expected in the city today, She will very probably give evidenco before Jucge Mogan at the adjgutned examination, Mrs. Lewis had @ fortune left her by her mother, at her own Gisposal, and it is this newly acquired money that = wo hing to do with the kidnapping of the SHIPPING NEWS.
