Yesterday tbe attendance was unusually large, and the appropriate subject of the war was | treated by the reverend genticman with his wonted Jorce and eloquence, After some prelinunary re- marks Mr. Smyth took his text from Tsaiah Lxiil., 1:— “Who is this that cometh from Kaom, with dyed garments from Bozrah ’—this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength ? I that speak In righteousness, mighty to save.” He said:—Imagine’ some Rip Van Winkle just wakened up, peeping over the battiements of Paris and espying approaching towards its fortifications the venerable leader of the Prusstans, marching towards it with triumphant air and all the insignia of royally upon his person, and on his ralment the BLOODY STAINS OP CONFLICT, accompanied with the circumstances of dignity and grandeur that comport with the rank and glory of a king dushed wita victory and pressing on io further conquests, He sees him advancing along the road that leads from Metz to the capital of France; ana, Perceiving by his strange appearance that he is not French, but a foreign potentate, he exclaims amazement, “Who is this that cometh from etzwith dyed garments from Lorraine—this that ts glorious in his apparel—travelling in the greatness hisstrength?” It is In a manuer like this that the “King of kings and Lord of lords” ts seen by the eye of falth, pressing forward from one achieve- ment to another, “conquerimg and to conquer.

Rev. David Mitchell on Providence and Un- discovered Crime—The Nathan Murder. The Presbyterian church, 17 Greene street, which was closed for vacation during the month of August, reopened yesterday. The congregation was very small. The services were opened by a prayer from the minister and an act of thanksgiving.

ALPHONSUS. the Corner Sioné of a New Redemptorist Church—Archbishop [MoClos- key and an Imposing Array of Clergy— Immense Throug of Spectatore—Impressivoe Ceremonies~The Archbishop’s Address. Yesterday afternoon a ceremonyfof very considera- ble interest to the Catholics of this city, the laylog of the corner stone of a new Church of the Redemp- torists, took place im the open space of ground formed by clearing away the houses extending from Laurens street to the old Redemptorist church of St. Alphonsus tn Thompson street, off Canal street. The want of more extensive accommodation for the numerous and rapidly tocreasing m(xed German and Irish congregation who freduent the existing church had long been felt, and the Fathers at length resolved to undertake the im- portant and costly work of removing the present incommodious and unsuitable edifice and erecting a spacious and beautiful temple in its room. Relying upon the ready liberality of their people the Re- demptionist Fathers anticipate that the necessary funds will be steadily forthcoming; and commencing in a business-like manner, they have established a “Building Society,” consisting of prominent mem- bers of the congregation, who are furnished with collecting books, and each subscriber is expected to contribute twenty-five cents per month until the completion of the new church. The “Building So- ciety’ is in full operation already, Germans and Irish harmoniously co-operating at their meritorious task. THE REDEMPTORIST ORDER. ‘This distinguished religious order was founded by the celebrated Italian prelate St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori in the eighteenth century. He called nis order the “Congregatio Sanctissimt Redemptoris” (Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer), and the priests of that order usually have the initials of the Latin words given above—thus, “C. SS. R.””—affixed to their names. St, Alphonsus wrote several theo- logical treatises which caused no small stir in the controversial world, and even to this day polemical champions occasionally break a lance in their zeal to settie the question whether certam of his opinions in mora! theology are exactly wnat they ought to be. The Redemptorists are to be found i almost every country, and they have no less than sixteen houses of the order in the United States. There is a very handsome Redemptortst church at 173 East Third street, in this city. THE COMMUNITY occupying the house No. 6 thompson street, next the church, consists of the following members:— Kev. William Wayrich, C, 8S. R. (Superior); Kev. L. Dold, C. $8, R.; Rev. b Klaphake, C. SS. R.; Rev. J, Sheeran, C. SS. R.; Rey. A. Lindenfeld, 0, $8. R. Rev. A. de Ham, 0. 55, R., and Rev. Willtam Grosa, C.5S. R. Sermons are preached in the church on Sundaysfin German and English, and the Fathers have two schools and severai pious confraternitics under their care, THE OLD CHURCH AND THE NEW. ‘The existing church was built for they Redempo- rists twentyfyears ago, 1s va @ very unpretending style of architecture, and 1s only ninety feet long by sixty feet wide. The new church will be a splendid structure in the Romanesque style of the ‘Twelfth century, and will be 162 feet in lengtn, from street to street, and eighty in width; which, it is considered, will be amply suficient to admit of the mintstrations of ten or twelve priests, and is intended to be chiefly what ts called a “missionary” church, devoted to the instruction of the ignorant and the reclamation of the erring. The architect is Francis G. Himpler and the con- tractor for building is Edward Harlow. The cost is estimated at $160,000 angit will probably be Onished in sixteen months. THE CEREMONY commenced at four o'clock P. M., and was pictu- Tresque aad most impressive. Vast crowds of people swarmed on tie housetops in the vicinity and filled s tion. He then announced that his sermon would be on PROVIDENCE AND UNDISCOVERED CRIME. ‘The text was taken from St. Matthew. x., 26— “There is nothing hid that shall not be known.” Undiscovered crime has happened in our midst. No one can forget the murder that was perpetrated on one of our most respected citizens since we last assembled here. The perpetrator has not been dis- covered. It happeued in one of our most fashiona- ble localities and on a night when the elements of the heavens appeared in their most terrific splen- dor, Police, detectives and rewards have so far been useless In discovering the assassin, but the cry has goue to heaven for vengeance. There are three things which Almighty God permits—the hiding, discovery and punishing of crime, It may seem strange that Providence permits crime, but we must all acknowleage that God does everytuing for a wise end. Every year and every day find their ANNALS OF CRIME, Since we went to rest last night crime has been com- mitted which if not atoned for here must be pun- ished hereafter. We may not be able to find out why God allows crime to go unpunished, but we must mourb the loas of our fellow citizen. Perhaps the murderer is now gloating over his escape from Jus- lice, but another day may reveai the stain of his hands and conscience, There is such a thing spoken of iu the Bibie as men filling up their iniquity. Judas betrayed our Saviour, and yet lls injquity was not full at that time. Our Saviour treats those as he did Judas, and aliows them to proceed until their measure of iniquity is full, The petty thief cannot raise to his height at ouce; he goes on by degrees, and when his measure is full he is brought to jastice. Men now, when detected im crime, will take life sooner than allow a chance of discovery. There ased to be some honor in the highwayman, who would use his pistol and demand your life or money. NO HONOR AMONG CRIMINALS. But no honor ts attached to malefactors now. Why ds all tis dove’ Why, lor the want of God’s grace. It we are better than these men let us thank God, Another reason why some have not been brought to Justice—Many have stopped in thelr crimes.” Sup- posing a man concealed his siu from the world, aud we having confession in our Church and the power of absoiving, as Catholics claim to have, I would not give that man absolution unless publicly prociaim- ing his guilt to the world; and after confession there must be restitution, It 1s better for a man to get the prison or gallows than be sunk in hei, We differ there from the Universalists. THE PRESS AND PULPIT are usuering In the perpetuation of goodness. ST. PATRICK'S CATH DRA, Infallivility Defined and Explained—The Coune cil Unanimous—Sermon by Archbishop Mc. Closkey. ‘fhe return of Archbishop McCloskey from Rome brough: a crowded congregation to the cathedral on yesterday. Every seat was filled. The efficient choir was assisted by the Cathedral Choral Union, who rendered Rossini’s ‘Fifth High Mass’ in fine style. Rev. Father Starrs, V. G., acted as celebrant, and was assisted by Rev, Mr. McSweeny, deacon, and Rev. Mr. McGihn, sub-deacon. The ceremony was presided over by Rev. John R. H. Riordan, wno acted as master of ceremonies. The Archbishop preached the sermon, tak ing his text from Luke, xvil, 11 to 14:—‘And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through | foundation, the name of the saint to whom it was Samaria and Gallieé. And as te entered into a cer- tain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar of: and they lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, master, have mercy onus. And when | Archbishop in an oblong bed cut into the solid he saw them, He satd unto them, Go, show yourselves unto the priests,” &c. 8 ‘The most reverend preacher discoursed at length | Grace next pi on divine mercy and the duties that men owe their creator and preserver, and ‘he necessity of return- Ing thanks to the giver of every good gift for favors received. He referred, as he said, with pleasure to HIS RECENT VISI? TO ROME, and spoke in eulogistic language’of the steps taken by the Vatican Council. He salda—Who 1s there among ns who does not wurally turn to heaven in the hour of triajs and jangers and exclaim with the leper in the Gospel, «Jesus, have mercy on us.” Standing, asf do here to-day, I have reason Lo give tanks to God that He has granted me the privilege and happiness of re- suming my place within this sanctuary. I feel 16 my duty to advert to occurrences in,Rome which have occupied public atteation. The mere men- tion of THE NAME OF PIO NONO brings a thrill to every Catholic neart, and that name and the assoctaviona connected with tt render the name of Rome so sacred to every Catholic heart. Rome 1s the capita of the Christian world and the centre from which civilization issues; it is there that the foundation stoue of the Church fixes his | Redemptoristpmissionaries, and all goon Catholic apostolic chair, and thence he tssues his mandates in the name of the Divine Ruler and directed to God's people the world over. ‘The pontifical chair has been occupied by ONE UNBROKEN SUCCESSION of archprelates from the time of Peter to the time of Pius.

Then there was a sound of martial music, and for half an hour a long line of processionisis, consisting of the various religious confraternities and temperance socities of the city, defiled befoye the Archbisbop, each with its band and appropriate banners, and having made the ctr- cult of portions of Thompson and Laurens streets, drew up In two lines around the open space on which the new Church of St. Alphonsus is to be erected, THY PROCESSION was headed by the Independent Rifle Guards, an Irish organization, wearing green facings and accompanied by their band. These guards carried their rifles, marched in perfect military style and were preceded by their pioneers, men of great stature, “bearded like the pard” every man of them and carrying huge axes on their shoulders, Then in rapia successton the societies of St. Alpnon- St. Anthony, St. Aloysius, St. Joseph, St. John, rances, St. Anthony, St. Vincent, St. Lawrence, St. Boniface, St. Peter, the Transtiguration, St. Brid- get and St. James, and others were yet to follow when the Archbishop commenced the ceremony. Some of the societies were Irish and wore green rosettes and carried the Irish:and American flags with the banner of their sodality; while tie German, societies carried honored flag of their nation, and the mixed. German and Irish sodalities bore aloft the society flag, the Aterican, the Irish and the German. Mar- shals on horseback, and wearing cocked hats and swords, rode along the line of march, and were | not only ornamenta), but very useful in directin: | the movements of the processionists. A number ot men with baskets stood at each side of the line of march to receive contributions, and each of the pro- cessionists (except the bandsmen and standard bearers) dropped in his “mite” as he passed. THE MUSIC of the various bands was, on the whole, a3 good as conld reasonably be expected. The Irish, a3 a mat- ter of conrse, gave the preference to their national music, and one of them created rather a ludicrous ‘mpression by thundering out, just when puyssing the archyye jop, & rollicking marching stRe. tong ‘wedded’ the “immortal verse” of the wel known Cockney-Jrigh comic song calle® + O’Gat.”’ Anothet pave the alr to which the si popular song of “The Low Backed Car’? is sung. LAYING THE CORNER STONE. While the bands and flags were yet marching past the Archbishop, wearing cupe and mitre, advanc to the foundation stone and proceeded with the usual ceremonies and prayers prescribed by the Roman Ritual. He then retired to the prte Diew and reolted te datan of the Saints, the clergy and the wholé hinltitude kneeling. He then returned to the foundation stone and formed on it twice the sign of the cross, wjth a silver trowel which he received from the builder. His Grace then was handed a tin box Ch @ parchment, on which was written, in Latin, a statement setting forth the date of the dedicated, and of the officiating prelate, the reign- ing Pope, &c This box, which also contaiped a number of coins of the ited 81 rency, was deposited b then the granite block, and over the box he placed a thin bof whit ble, marked with a@ cross. His da small quantity of cement around the slab, and the requisite amount being laid by the builder, a handsome block of Ohio sandstone, forin- ing the commencement of the front of the new building, was iowered by @ pulley, the Archbishop latd his hand on it and it was pI wesiiu. Alter this the psalm Miserere was sung and the Arch- bishop and clergy made the circuit of the grounds on which the walls of the new church are to stand, the St. Cecilia Society, stationed in a gallery ad- jacent to the scene of the ceremonial, singing a ymu, wider the Jeadership of Mr. Ryan, and ac- companied by Luch’s band.

TWENTY-ELGHIB = STREET : cavacn, Convocation of the Missionary Society Discourse by the Rev. W. T. Meore. A highly interesting serles of meetings have been in progress at this church during tho past week, | which were brought to a close last evening, after a brief season of evangelical love and pleasure, The meeting was occasioned by the convocation of the Christian Missionary Society of the State of New York, in its nluth annual session, when a large acie- gation of the clergy and laity of the sect bearing the ‘ specific name of “Christian” or ‘Disciple’ was in attendance. Ip addition to the representation from the State churches there were a number of mitnisters and persons from other States who were present and were accepted as honorary delegates to the con- vention. Oficers for the ensuing year were elected by the convention, and much valuable business was transacted during its session, the most mnportant being the adoption of A GENERAL PLAN OF MISSIONARY WORK among all the churches of the denomination in Amenca. An instructive social prayer meeting was held at this church on yesterday morning at nalf- past nine o'clock, the services being conducted by several ministers. At the usual morning nour, half- past ten o'clock, pulpit services were held, the ad- mintstrant being Rev. William T. Moore, of the city of Cincinnati. The discourse from the clerical gep- tleman was delivered in a style as to conception of the subject and impressiveness of manner 48 to tn- dicate lis possession of a high order of talent for the profession “wherewithal hie Is called.” The texc from Revelation, third chapter and twenty-first verse—‘ To him that overcometh will grant to sit with me on My turone, even as 1 also overcame aad am set down with My Father on His throne’’—was selected for the purpose of lilusirauog and establishing THK DOCTRINE OF ‘DOING;" the necessity of a itfe of energy, perseverance ana self-denial in order to bring about that success iu any vocation or profession that may be chosea by any one, He said that the doctrine of the cross was not arbitrary; but, like the laws of nature, there was perfect harmony in alt of its relations, and the same fact ts true in all departments of governments, in philosophy, morailty and spirituality. But where there is no cross there can be nocrown. Infidels declare that there ls no harmony between the Gospel ana nature; if 1 knew that there was a conflict be- tween the Gospei and human life and happiness ‘‘I will reject the Gospel—yes, I willjdo it.” He would not abandon the things of the understanding for those contrary to experience and-common sense, ‘The faith of the Curisttan is @ reasonable one ; not founded upon igaorance, but planted deeply upon HUMAN EXPERIENCE AND COMPREHENSION. Human infidelity cannot shake it, for it is that sort of faith which strengthens by knowledge und its application to the daily concerns of ‘life. Satisfac- tion ameinet self cannot stand, It is only after great struggles that nature comes to victory; atter the deep winter, with its chilling blasts and destructive snows, comes the gentle spring, with its odorous flowers, and summer with its pleasures too. It is through storms of desolation that come the sweet hours of rest. That success is only attained by struggles is equally true in mental matters. Noone can cngege in any profession without the expecta- ton of passing through the crucible of struggle, ‘The schoolboy only gains the victory with A SEAION OF ENERGY AND TOIL, The path to the seatof honor and the diploma is not through vaies of pleasure and hours of delecta- tion, but over lives of self-demial, labor and disap- pointment. Look at the merchant w ose life has been Bweetened by success. Did he fold his arms around him and complacently sit upon his chair and await the coming of success? No. Like David of oid, “his eyes saw the rising of the sun.’ That is, his tot! zan with the early dawu, and after a long, CHRASTIAN wei period of labor, ecofomy and self-dentat; aiter bearing the cross, he wore the crown of vic- tory.

We excitedly read of the sanguinary engagements of the present war; but who has fed and clothed the valiant soldier? The men of business—the merchants, they who count figures in the counttug rooms—tuey are the powers beyond the throne, and they supply the sinews of war. Statistiis of Boston show that hinety-three per centuim of all merchants nave tatled—only seven out of every 100 have succeeded. Why is this’ The failures have been the result of overtrading, extravagance and a neglect to practise that life of self-dental, that beariag of the cross necessary for success—he hath mot overcome him. salf. Occasionally, like the visit of a meteor, there Springs across the horizon of history, @ man who comes suddenly into fortune. Watch him. If he fritters not away the gain thus attained it passes to his posterity, and then, it surely will fit away like the dew before a morning sun. Rich men’s sons freely spend the fortunes of their sires, and though they are once exalted their ends will be depased. THE SMITH AT THR FOKGE patiently toils at lus dally worx—his arms are strengthened as the anvil is smitten.

He pald a beautiful tribute ‘to the gratuitous work done by the physician; the mauner in which they ex- rete their lives to diseases in the houses of the con- agion, WHERE DWELT THE POOR MAN - Who could not pay for medical aid; but there he attained the perfect victory. Whut ts the life of the Christian professor? So many go into the Church only half way. Christ calls him to a higher sphere, but the world calls another way. So many Chris- tans only get thelr necks half way in the yoke. If they conia get wholly in they would be happy, and would enjoy an Eden of love. They should burn down ali the bridges between them and the world cut off all retreat. become soldiers of the cross, an their vocation would be one of great delight, As Christians advance in the divine light work comes easy.

There aié three places, or periods of equality, he said— namely, at the foot of the crose, in the hour of death aud at the hour of judgment.

F, Ogilby. ‘The effect of the return of moderate weather ia swelling the attendance of worsnippera at tha various churches {n the city was noticeable yester- day at the morning service at Trinity church, almost every seat having its occupant. The sermon waa preached by Rev. Dr. Frederiok Ugilby, who took for his text the following passages from the epistio of St. James:—'If apy man among you-seems to be religious and bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth iis own heart, this man’s religion is vala. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father i8 this—to visit the fatheriess and widows in thelr afliction and to keep nim- self unspotted from the world.” The greatest DIVERSITY OF OPINION, the reverend gentieman said, existed as to the trud nature of religion, ana men’s ears were assalied on every side by the discordant din created by Con- tending polemics. Perhaps the origin and cause of these unceasing disputes Was that men do not sub- mit themselves humbly and tmpllcitly to the true guide Our knowledge of heavenly truths must of necessity be imperfect in consequence of our humaa fratities, but the practical inculcattons of religion are plain and easily comprehended. Among’ the directions given tuem for the guidance of their lives that contained in the passage he had quoted was not the least important. Itttmplies a question. It 8k, is that religion which I profess, upon which a my HOPES OF ETRRNAL SALVATION depend, vain? Will it stand the test of the scrating to which it wtil be subjected by the all-searcting eye of God on the dread day of judgment? The toxt tells us what ts not religion and what is. It plainly hints that the religion which 1g too inuch given to professions is vain. Men who talk much about thetr religion have generally. very little religion to boast of. True religion exhibits itseli much more in acts than in words, rather in deeds Of gooduess and self-sacrifice than ia professions which oitea are as : HOLLOW AS THEY ARE RIGH SOUNDING. The concluding portion of the text tells us what religion pure aud undefiled is. We are told to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. God will look to find in us a spirit of charity and jastice, without which there Is no salvation. Let us therefore re- Solve to shun the strife of men, to show the faith that is in us by good works rather than idle contro- versies, and we may rest assured that the God of joodness and mercy wili not fail to gran. us in this fe that peace which passeth ali understanding aud @ glorious immortality hereafter. JOuN STQXET METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, Impressive Services and a Lurge Cengrega- tion—Sermon by the Rev. L. 8. Weed. The services yesterday morning at Joho street Methodist Episcopal church were edifying and im- pressive, and attracted a numerous congregation of Worshippers, among whom—and the rarity of the occurrence renders ite noticeable—the representa- Uves of the male sex were ina very decided ma- jority. The pastor, the Rey. L. 5. Weed, conducted the services, opening with an eloquent prayer,.io which he invoked the divine blessing upon the congregation, and prayed for the advancement of civil Uberty and religious truth. The hymn com- mencing Come, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Whom one all perfect God we own, Restorer of Thine image lost, ‘Thy various oflices make known, was next rendered in effective and pleasing style, after which the pastor delivered an eloquent ser- mon, taking for his text the tenth chapter of St. John, tenth verse—‘I am come that they might have life.” Pondering the significance of these words it would appear that but forthe Lord Jesus the human race would have perished from the face of the earth, The apostle tells us that “by one man sin entered into the world and through sindeath.” The fallof Adam entatled the penalty of aeath upon mankind, and it is through the righteousness of Christ we live a Possess all the ba POTENTIALITIES AND POSSIBILITING of our existence. But the text had a higher ands holier meaning. Life withoat God was worthless, and when Obrist saia “I am come that they migh have life” he undoubtedly meant to convey that they, lus followers, might have Itte in commnnioa with God. Muititudes of men were indifferent to re- ligion, went about their daily vocations and retura- to thelr houses without bestowing a thought upon God or His goodness. But there was no haman being who did not, in the hour of his extremity, ex- perience an impuise to have recourse to the Divine Father, and who did not derive cheer and consola- tion from the reflection that Christ was standing at the throne of Goa to make intercession for him. There was something in the tenderness and mercy of God to touch the coldest and stermest heart. He might have displayed the inflexibility of Hts rale of justice by tie destruction of the human race, butan His love and mercy preferred to sacrifice Himseit that we might live. OVERFLOWING WITH LOVE, he invited all to come to him. He did not ask them were they pure, was their life righteous, but only were they weary. Then let them come te Him aud he would refresh them. But the text, mghtly inter- preted, meant sttil more, After all. our conception of God and his goodness in this world must neces- sarily be faint and inadequate. As the Scripture said, “We through a glass darkly.” It was onty in the life to come that our souls, purified from the dross of earth, would compreliend the attributes of divinity. And Christ has promised us that glorious immortality if only we will co-operate in His benefi- cent designs and not permit our evil passions to de- pure us of that place In heaven which in His love He has provided for us, CHURCH OF GUR SAVIO! . Bad Theology and True Religion—Sermon by Rev. J. M. Path The church of Uur Saviour (sixth universaltst) was opened yesterday forthe first time after the summer vacation and was filled with a congregation who, to judge by their sunburnt cheeks and general ap- pearance, must have been rusticating during the warm weather, and worshipping God In the temple of His own creation, and offering up mute adoration in the contemplation of the beauties of nature. The pastor, Rev. J. M. Pullman, who has just returned from the country, seemed wonderfully refreshed aad invigorated and spoke like a man who has had time to reflect on his subject. Certainly his discourse was really excellent and was listened to with the greatest attention by his large congregation, His text was taken from the i Psalm, first verse—“£ meeting and spoke of the time when in 1857 tne pd Meetings were heid which had since culminatea x the excellent institution whick they ail were so well acquainted with. It was then seen thatin the Fourth ward there was no Place where poor destitute children could be ted or clothed or cared for tn any way. Meetings. were held at the time alluded to in the Sailors’ Home, and the gre: eas diMcuity was found in getting children to at- tend. He remembered that at one of EVERY FIRST MEETINGS poor children there was a large ak present; but he had no sooner im praver at part of the service than all of them had leit the room except three or jour, and it required the utmost persuasion to induce them to return, Then came the revival in the Academy of Music and the crowded meetings In the Old Bowery theatre, when the latter place used to be filled on Sabbath ‘olngs in every part, from pit to ceiling.’ He remembered all this, and in look- ing back at the work that had been accomplished he felt proud and well satistied. THE REY. MR. VAN METER next addressed the assemblage, and in alluding to his recent tour in foreygn lands spoke very feelingiy of how the memory of the old Home had ever been present to his mind wherever he had been through- | out al his jowrneyings, Never had he, even when | amaug the vroud tauvles of Rome, or ruminnting | was glad when they said moto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.” He Said it was very easy to see ahat these words WERE NOT WRITTEN IN AMERIC “* very seidom happened that an American uaed 1. vord glad in this sense.
