A large and attentive audience assembled last evening in this edifice, situated at the corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, where Dr. Ormiston delivered an efiective and earnest discourse on the above subject.

Selfishness from a Beuevotent Point of View— / An Appeal for Prance. \ Mr. Beecher preached yesterday to his usual large congregation upon the subject of individual @nd national benevolence based upon a wise self- Mnterest. Atthe close of the sermon he made an eloquent appeal for the French, which was re- Bponded to by a collection supposed to be large. ‘The text was Philippians 1t., 4—‘Look not every man on his own things, but every man aiso on the things of others.” There are two great principles gunning through society which are seemingly an- tagonistic, yet all true prosperity depends upon their co-operation—the law which compeis us to seek our own good and that which teaches us to seek the ygood of others. Every man must first LOOK OUT FOR HIMSELF, for the health of his body, for shelter, sustenance and mental and physical stores. Taking care of one’s self is preparatory to true benevolence. It is dangerous to relax the responsibility of self-care. ‘When we are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves THE QUALITY OF THE LOVE ds referred, to and not the quantity. We are to give ‘@ love that is large and generous; but it is not ex- pected that a man will think as much for his neighbor ‘as for himseif. We are not to neglect our own affairs ‘for the sake of pretended benevolence. Many indi- ‘viduals take care of everybody but themselves. If ‘you are father or a mother, there is your first ‘ephere of duty. re you serve God and society, ‘But many take care of the community first. They are \selzed with an INFERNAL SPIRIT OF USEFULNESS.

The prineipie that is to be co- ‘ordinated with this self-care 1s tne care ot others.

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR OWN AFFAIRS, jand when you are grown strong use your strength Wor the good of your fellew men. We should bring ‘up our children to despise charity unless it goes out. ‘They should take nothing without gtving an equiva- ent; notin the spirit of bargaining, but in pride and honor.

Institution of the Rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. Throngs of Strangers at the Metropolitan Methodist Church, Eloquent Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Newman. ST. MARK’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Institution ‘of the Rector, Kev. A. F. Stecle— Imposing Ceremonies by the Bishop of Maryland—Sermon by Dr. Starkey on the Institutions of the Church. WASHINGTON, Feb, 19, 1871. For several weeks past the congregatson of St. Mark’s Protestant Episcopal clfapel have been de- prived of their usual place of worship by the re- moval of the church building frem South A, between Secoud and Third streets, to the lot corner of Third and A streets. The former site was & por- tion of the Beale estate, and was sold to Colonel Holden to be improved by two Jarge houses like those which already adorn that block. The church was, therefore, removed to the present loca- tio, the grounds of which were purchased by the congregation. The building bas been neatly re- paired, and the minister, Mr. A. F. Steele, to whose labors the parish is indebted for much of its prosperity, Was this morning formally tustituted at ae regain service according to the ritual of the Church. The Right Rev. W. R. Whittingham, Bishop of Maryland, performed the ceremony of institution, assisted by Rey. Dr. Starkey, of tne Church of the Epiphany, and Kev. J. Vaughn Levis, of St. John’s. ‘The font and pulpit were beautifully decorated witi natural flowers. Yhe Bishop presented Mr. Stecle, with his credentials, after which the senior warden gave the keys of the church to the new incumben:, Which were received according vo the formula in the Book of Common ‘Prayer. The Bible, the ritual of the Episcopal service and the books of canons of the general and State Convention were afterwards offered and accepted by the same ceremonial. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Starkey, and Was addressed more especially to the pastor, par- taking of the character of the rites, e@ said the occasion Was one of significant interest and illus- trative of the practical SUCCESSION OF APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY. The Church has within it no schism. Its mimiste- Tial power 1s unquestioned. The parish aeacon re- ceives his authority from the bishop, and Yor the furtherance of the good work to which he is to-day instituted, the {closest unity should exist between the people and the pas- tor. In holy baptism we are made new; so each rite of the Charch imposes fresh obligations, God en- dowed the aposties with their power, the apostles the ministers, ana the ministers the people, the Great Head bestowing His grace individually. The pastor must feel it is the divine law he 1s calied ‘upen to illustrate, and he should not be intimidated Uirough the fear of man, thouzh truth should some- times make his sermons distasteful to them, for when the words were according to God’s teaching they must prevall, aud his congregation should sus- taim him. OUR DIVINE HEAD, JESUS CHRIST, sends out His ministerial efficers. A deacon ts not strictly a pasior, Dut in his authority ies tae grace of priestly power. Our Lord calls Himself the good shepherd, knowing His sheep and leading them; so the pastor is tne head of his flock, bidding them fol- low him, Knowing he has the confidence of his Beurise and so your pastor to-day bids you follow m in the good work already begun, in which he has labored 80 manfully. The littie church was the gift of a friend, and if tiey would all press on in the same spirit of liberality, according to their ability, they would all be victorious in the end, botn in the accomplishment of the ma*erial labors and the suc- cessful spiritual advancement which would receive the greater reward at the Master’s hands. SERVICES AT THE METROPOLITAN METHODIST CHURCH. An Immense Congregation to Hear Dr. Newman—An Impressive Discourse on the Consequences of Sin and the Doctrine of Compensation. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 1871. There was an immense congregation at the Metro- politan Methodtst Episcopal church this morning to hear the Rev. Dr. Newman. The city is filled with strangers who have come to attend the carnival, and many of them were determined to avail them- selves of such a favorable opporcunity of listening to the distinguished divine and popular pastor of the Metropolitan. Crowds of people congregated near the church at an early hour, When the doors were opened i was impossible for the ushers to find seats for all the strangers. Some of tho pewholders gave up their seats to visitors, and some, when they arrived, found their pews already occupied. Vice President Colfax gave his seat to a lady, and Mrs. Newman mme- diately made room in the pastor’s pew for the polite Vice President. All the aisles were filled and also the steps leading to the pulpit platform. Many peo- ple were compelled to go away, being unable to tind even standing room. Dr. Newman was equal to the occasion, He delivered a powerful sermon on the consequences of sin, to waich the congregation lis- tened with wrapt attention. He took his text irom Luke xiii., 1 and 6: There were present at that season some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their ices, And Jesus, answering them, sald, Suppose ye 4 woie sinners above all the Galtieatis, because they sufferea such things? Ltell you, nay; but likewise perish; or those The facts which make up the compliments of human life are more difficult of solutien than the doctrines of Christianity, These facts take hold on our sympathies. The doctrines are abstract truths, that appeal vo the cold intellect, The matters of every day life are greater mysteries than the doctrines ot the Trinity or the hypostatical union of the two natures of Christ. how the Almighty can permit suffering in inno- cent children, the defamation of a good man’s character, calamities to befall the good an the evil al the same time, are mysteries whicn chal- lenge our faith. The text recerds two calamities— one, the murdering of certain Galileans, and the other the death of eighteen persons by the falling of the Tower of Siloam. The purpose of the sermon 1s to recite the stories of these calamities and then to deduce therefrem the doctrines thereby taught. Dr. Newman then gave a rapid sketch of the Galtlaeans whom Pilate had put to death because they refused to acknowl- edge the authority of the Romans, and referred to the possible reasons the people might have had in detailing to Christ this massacre of his country- men, Jesus replies to their question by citing a similar calamity, When eighteen impotent persons, who were waiting for the angel to trouble the waters of the poel of Siloam, were killed by the falling of a vower, and asks if they were to be considered reater sinners than others dwelling in Jerusalem. Frere are two points to be considered—what Christ did not deny and what he did deny. First, he did not deny that mankind suffer as sinners; that suffering is the penal consequence of transgression, This 13 in keeping with TUB CHARACTER OF GoD, who cannot be unjust to a worm, aman or an angel. ‘There ts but one case in sacred history where a sin- jess bemg suffered. ‘That person was Christ, Nor does Christ deny that signal punishment may come upon notorious offenders of the law. This were to deny the events of bistery. The flood swept over the Earth because every imagination of man’s heart wasevil. The men of Sodom were destroyed because of their sin. The Roman sword was unsheathed against Jerusalem because of her iniquity. Christ does not deny that these Galileans and men of Si- loam were sinners. But what does he teach? He teaches, first, that special misfortunes ara no proof of special gulit. IT 13 A PREVALENT SUPERSTITION that evil comes le the evil—that great calamities are judgments sent from God. Yonder memorial window has the picture of the ill-fated steamer Pre- sident, that sailed March 11, 1841, that carried one of the purest spirits that humanity can boast. Was it because George Cookman was guilty that he weat to the bottom of the great deen? Row the Almighty could permit so pure and noble & spirit so to suffer 1s one of the stern realities of lite which must remain inexplicable tll the opening of the book at the last day. Again, Christ does not teach that prolonged suftering is proof of great in- iguity. Punishment ts pot so distributed in this life that every instance of tt may be traced to individual sin; yet tt is evidently the result of sin of some an- cestor of Adam, of the common sin of humanity. The Saviour gives a strikin; Qlusiration of this in — the case the blind man, when the Jews asked “which sinned, this man or his parents, that this man was born blind?” And Ohrist replied, “Neither, buc that the works of Goa might be mude manifest in him.” In the range of Christian biography there is no mstance that so well illustrates this point as the case of Robert Hall, Such was the acuteness o: his pain for twenty years that he was unable to remain in bed and was often compelled to use one thousand drops of laudanum in @ single night to allay pain; yet, with a soul on fire from on bigh, with a plenar; Inspiration irom the skies. he went on with his study and work, writing those wonderful sermons of his, This fact suggests THE MINISTRY OF EVIL AND THE LAW OF COMPEN- SATION. Throughout soctety we discover this law of his has @ place, and this leads us to apply it to these myste- rious cases. For every sensation of pain there is to be hereafter an additional sensation of pleasure; for every groan a shout, This is brought out in tho le of Dives and Lazarus, where Abraham 13 represented as say: “son, remember thou in thy life received good things, lke- wise Lazaras evil things; but now ne 1s comforted and thou art tormented.” Thus at the last day this grand law shall to us joys of which we have been de- prived on earth. Christ asserted ciearly that We are juot to judge of the moral characters of men by present good or evil. God maketh the rain to fall on the just aad unjust. Doubtiess the rule is that the most virtuous are the happiest. Divide the world into Pre and nm, and there ig more Dappiness and prosperity in the Ohnistian; more happiness and prosperity in the family that prays than where prayer 1s neglected. So, too, with indl- viduals; though there are netable exceptions. Dr. lero, showing that though temporal was given to Nero during life, yet is moral character was despicable and ‘his memory is Gompineds while Paul’s lovely character is em- balmed in the affections of mankind for ail time. Character is that which a man is rather tnan that Which he possesses. We are not to snags, of the goodnees: of men nor enterprises hastily. When the it Methodist college was burned in 1795, ten years after its erection, Bishop Asbury considered it plain that God did not call Methodists to found colleges; but the twenty-five colleges, eighty- two seminaries and five thediogical institutions of the present day show God and the Methodists to be on the side of education, Time is an essential element in vindicating character. Christ, the aposties and martyrs were unappreciated im their day, but what name is now higher than the Son of Mary, or whose reputation is better than the apostles? Dr. Newman closed by dwelling on the exhortation, “Repent, lest ye likewise perish,” ap- pealing to his own people and to the many strangers present to give the angeis cause to joy over their re- pentance, and invoking God to grant them everilast- ing life, TIE NEW HAMBURG HORROR. A Diver's Sunday Work—Two More Bodies Reeovered—Funeral of a Victim. PovauKgepstn, Feb. 19, 1971. Last night, by request of the friends ot Doc Sun- mons, the dead engineer, Superintendent Toucey sent for the submarine diver, Lowe, of New York, to search the bottom of the river. This morning Lowe descended, and after peing in the water thirty- four minutes returned with the body of the stranger who was on Simmons’ engine. He found it embedded in the debris south of where the engine laid and under the tender. As the diver appeared upon the surface with the impid form in his arms a cry of horror ran through the crowd, and there were exclamations of “That's Doc!’ but as the body was brougit to full view none recog- nized It. However, it was tenderly taken charge of at once, and the clothing was searched. There were found on him papers and letters recommend- tng him as a locomotive engineer aud a card of membership attaching him to the Engineers’ Brotherhood, thus insuring lus lite under tue terms Ol that Brotherhood. On all the letters and papers, and upon the Brotherhood card, his name is writtea as James Humphrey, of Carmapsville, Pa. Again the diver disappeared below the surface of the water; but was not gone so long the second time when he appeared with che lifeless form oi Doc Sim- mons, the engineer. The = Was recognized at once by many of the dead engineer's friends who stood around. Silently the grief stricken friends and comrades bore his remams to dry land, No mutuation, no scars nor gashes. He must have been drowned, Everything about him goes to prove that theory. Unlike the rest of the bodies his was not saturated witi oil, nor was there hardly a smell of oil about him. Mumphrey’s body was shockingly mutilated about the waist andabdomen. There was not a bruise nor a burn visible upon poer Dec Simmons. When the nine A. M. train from New York caine along the bodies were placed in the baggage car and brought to Poughkeepsie. Upon their arrival here they were at once taken in charge by undertaker Buisen and conveyed to his headquarters, where they were carefully wasied and latd out, and to-morrow morning will be forwarded to their griel- stricken friends in New York and Pennsylvania, This makes twenty-two bodies in all that have been found, and no more are expected to be found. Aiter Doc Simmons was brought up the successful diver made another exploration, but reported no more bodies, and the superintendent, who was present, 13 firm in the belief that there are no more. He has, however, in order to satisfy all parties, given the diver mstructions to go down again to morrow, not ouly to search for bodies, but to bring up whatever baggage or packages of value he may find. Itis thougat the jury will ba ready to give a ver- dict by two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. FUNERAL OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS.

A Defence of the New Hamburgers. New Hampurs, Feb, 18, 1871, To THE EpiToR OF THE HERALD:— We, tne undersigned, citizens of New Hamburg, ask you, as an act of justice due the inhabitants of this Village, to publish this statement, as a vindica- tion of our honesty and humanity. This village has been unfortunate in not only being the place where the appalling railroad slaughter occurred, but we have been outrageously siandered by the reports sent to some of the New York dailies, We do not charge the reporters of intentionally accusing us of brutal- ity im the treatment of the dead bodies taken from the wrecked train or of stealing their property, but do think they should take muore pains to ascertain the truth before sending to their cata papers such ee, reports. The fact, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is, that all the bodies recovered from the wreck were taken from the water by the citizens of this village and vicinity and all the property belenging to them that ‘Was saved was rescued by the citizens. The corpses: were not treated inhumanly. One was drawn over the broken ice with a rope by Myo strangers to (nis place, who were understood to be employés of the railroad. They evidently were drunk, and the solemnity of the sccasion only prevented them from being ducked in the river; for it was they who made disgraceful remarks on the female apparel as 1t was takem out of the water. This body, as Soon as it could be got te the ice that would bear, ‘vas taken possession of by those of the vil- lagers who were caring for the victims and treated as tenderly as if a brother or friend, as all the bodies were. Lf you could have seen the tears in the eyes of those strong men as they tenderly handled the corpses you would believe they had some little heart. The accusation of Vaporeon | the bodies and wreck we deny tn toto, Not one resident Of this village was seen to take anything of value, One report said that half ef the houses of this village were furnished from the wreck. The smart individual whe ‘wrote that report certainly must have had a very correct idea of the amount of furnt- ture that could be take from one sleeping car with one-haif burned 10 & coal and the other half buried sx feet under water, There can be no doubt but he has a chimertcai tmagination. The facts aro that as the traims arrived from botn north and south, all tue vampires and human vul- tures that could raise money enough to pay their fare came here to steal. There was not much stolen, but ail that was stolen was taken by them. Some even from yeur virtuous city were recognized by detectives, and the villains were clothed in farmers’ attire. So even you have some slightly disyonest people. We may have; but if we Lave they were restrained by the presence of those who would know and mark them. Had there been any Wounded there is not a house but would have been thrown open to receive them, as those passengers on the unfortunate train who remained im the vil- i | morning can testify.

THE GENERAL TRADE OF THE CITY during the past week was better both in extent and tone, Stull the transactions are far from rendering trade reaily active. The merchants do not look for a@heavy business so early in the season, but the buyers who have already appeared have shown less hesitation in thelr purchases, and if they are a sam- ple of the great mass of out-of-town merchants who are to follow a decided revival in the spring trade may be looked for, THE WEEK IN WALL STREET.

The dally printed lists of the sales at the Stock EXx- change show that money 1s steadily going Into trust: Worthy investments, such as the first class railway mortgages, and that the dealings in the active stocks are confined more or less to the ola habitués of Wall street.

There are at present fully a dozen first class raliway stocks which are selling far below their value as compared with invest- ments such as bonds and mortgages, or even gov- ernment ponds, but the pools and rings of the street lave so terrified the public that they will not buy. In fact the only outside purchases nowadays of Such stocks are made by parties who can pay for them out and out and take them home. The stock market was very dull and very steady for a business of six days. The only changes of im- portance were in Western Union ‘lelegraph, which advanced about one per cent, and in Pacific Maul, which improved over two per cent, The latter seems to have been selected as the present “card,” and rumors are in circulation, as usual under such circumstances, that an alliance of a highly remuner- ative character is to be made with the Central Pacific Railroad. The New Hamburg disaster made the Vanderbilt securities heavy, but lowered their price 198s than one-half per cent. Wabash fell off one per cent and St. Paul was weaker. Erie also receded from its recent advance. Otherwise intense steadi- ness and intense dulne:s prevalied.

The sireet belag unable to fathom the truia of the rumor, aud foreign exchenge advancing to 1099, for sixty day sterling gold, went back to 1114, The extreme fluctuations. daily in the price of wola during the week were as follows: Hugnest, —_ Lowest.
