Im the Church of St. Gabriel last evening the Rev, Fathor Grose, of ve Congrogation of the Holy Redeemer, delivered a controverstal lecture to a very large and attentive audience. He set out with the principle that no cl: of Protestants could make an act of faith, and this because of the weakness of thelr groundwork of beltef, Protestants say they take their faith from the Biole. They snould there- fore be able to read the Bible, notin an aamittedly Father imperfect Bngiish version, but im the origt nab Greek and Hebrew versions, it was said of Luther's translation that it was more remarkable for the purity of the German idiom than for ita accuracy otherwise. Luther admitted he had addea Words not found in the original, and rejected the Epigile of St. James as “an epistio of straw.” He deniod that aj ordinary men can understand the Bible, can know When the inspired writer was itterat and when werely figurative. Hence the gudless Varieties Of opinion auiong the different classes of Christians, filo’ the principle of private judg ment, An authoritative ‘ararprquor Woes plainly bom That taterpre! was Cathola ch, in Which alone could be found pity, oer tuuty, Peace aud faivn. 1869, PRINCE ERIE’S GAME. Remarkable Conp d’Etat by the Erie Railway Company. War with the Atlantle and Great Westorn— A Night Job on Broadway—Legal- ized Burglary—Tho Sharpest Manwuyre on the Erio Records ~A Bold Stroke. Tho oMices of the Atlantio and Great Weatern Rail- road, No, 40 Broadway, were entered Jast night, not by burglars, but by those well known and desperate characters Messré, Fisk & Gouid, Their object was plunder, of cours, but not of gold, or bonds, or Erie stock, or anything that could readily be converted into gold, but the possession of the entire set of books of the Atiantic and Great Western Com- pany, from the smaliest to the greatest. With their usual luck"they met with their asual success; the books of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad Company—as many of them as could be found at the omtice—are iu the undisturbed possession of these re- presentatives of the Brie foad. The reason of this transfer of valuable property, why it should bave beon so peremptoriiy and forcibly obtained, what new or old developments or mani- pulattons are Involved tn tare not yet quire ap- parent. Knongh, however, ts known to exer’, a strong craving for more Knowledge; and it 18 pretty certain that the dirgstorate of the Agontic and Great Western read are at present > woriess in the hands of th; monarens of Kyie, Tate fight one of ‘he express carts of the frie Railway, \eimpanied by about twenty men, suoppod opposite the doors of No, 40 Broadway, and, ti the absence of the janttor, proceeded to remov o All the books in the office to the wagon. ‘The créw.! and the appearance of the men aroused hé fears of a Woman who was left in the temporary charge of the buildagg, ad she sent for the janitor, an old man, who waa in {he neighborhood. On his arrival be could not see any other Line of duty, In his simplicity, than sending tor the police, and to the pollog he sent, When ofl cer Woodward, of the First precinct, arrived on the seene hé found a wagon fillea witn office books, 4 number of rough-looking men cleartng out all they could flnd in the offices of No. 40, and alto- gether agenoral upset of all his notidhs of law and order, To put thosd foisQns in a way of boing put right again, and to have law And order vindicated was the earnest éndeayor of his 1ife for the time belng, and 80 he took the entire crowd, wagon, horses, books, clerks, helpers, and particularily Mr. William Archdall O'Doherty, Who was acting as a commander-in-chief of the operations into custody, Woodward there- fore ordered a march to the Firat precinct station and told the janitor to 100k the doors of the office, On the arrivat of this unexpected throng the cap- tain felt himself unable to grapple with so much that was altogether out of the range of an ordinary burglary, and so he sent the following telegram to headquarters:— Fuom First Precinor, 6:45 o'clock P. M. William A, O'Doberty, Who claims to be receiver of Great Western Railroad Company, was brought here by officer Woodward for forcing the door aad boarding and removing tho books of the Erie Com- pany. The janitor thinks that there ia someting Wrong, as O'Doherty has a force of about a dozen men with fim, After sending this telegram the wagon, men and police were taken to the Central office, and there it was not quite clear what was to be done with these desperadoes, and the telegraph operator waa directed to send for Superintendent Kenne- dy. After a short delay, indeed so short as to look as though this rear guard must have had a pretty clear eye upon the main army, shere appeared in the {nspector’s room those worthy citizens (if s© simple and prosaic a Nauie may be allowed to auch distinguished person- ages), Mr. James Fisk, Jr., and Judge Barnard, Then came the transformation scone, Out of chaos cave order, In aii ig glorious and sigutfoarit array. The magician’s wand was waved and tho votce of Judge Barnard was heard to proclaim “I gave the order for allthis to be done." In the White House at Mulberry street, that will was all powerful; the authority of the Judge of the Supreme Court of the City, was supreme in its dic tatea a8 to supreme personal liberty and s burglary in Broadway was at once condoned. Mr. O'Doherty gwho up to that moment had been in custody was a free man, and walked down the steps with consideranle ease, considering he had been badiy burt ins “railway accident’ about an hour béie-e. The wagon containing the books, of course, Was driven tapiaiy ewes. followed by two coaches, one of which contained Mr. J, rion, sr, Judge Barnard, Mr. Gould and Mr. O'Doherty. The cause of all this is, of course, law, The Erie road is fighting the Great Western road on the ques- tion of receivers, and the version Mr. Fisk gave our reporter at the Opera House last ulght ts ag fol- lows:— On the 9th of April Messrs, Jay Gould & Co. were Fike receivers with Mr. O'Doherty. Mr. O'Doherty fell sick about two months ago, and he went down this eyoning with 4 wagon to move the books of the Great Western away, by order of Judge Barnard, who had granted that order yesterday (Wednesday) morning. fhe janitor, not having had any notice of this removal, got a little frightened guid sent for the police, &c., &c., &c, ‘This is Mr. Fisk’a version. We presume Mr. O'Doherty was sadictently convalescent to return to tho city, for he 1s reported to have sent the fol- idwing telegram last evening to Mr. Gardner, man- ager of the Great Western offices at No. 40 Brond- way, and who, bat for the telegram, would have been atthe offices to receive Mr. O'Doherty, his wagon and array of he!pers:— Meet train that arrives in attr 4:10 P.

O'DOKERTY, DECEMBER, 20, 1860, It is not unlikely the Great Western directors may, in their simplicity, inquire as to the disposal of the $5,200,000, acknowledged by the Erle kiugs to have been earned by the Great Western road since De- cember, 1868, WAS IT A MURDER?
