The Sermons Yesterday. We report this morning some interesting sermons which were delivered at the churches yesterday. Rev. Chauncey Giles explaincd to his congregation the Swedenborgian idea of public worship; Bishop Potter discoursed on redemption and regeneration, after which he admitted. thirty-five repentant . sinners to the communion; Rev. Dr. Armitage urged and extended comfort to those who stand waiting at the threshold of grace, and Mr. Hepworth, going a little further, showed them how to get into the kingdom of heaven. On the same subject Bishop Southgate preached to a small congregation, warning his hearers to “enter in at the straight gate,” and impressing on their minds the important fact that not all will be permitted to enter. Mr. Frothingham discoursed on the agency of Providence, in which, after saying that too much of a good thing is as dangerous as too little (sic), he proceeded to throw cold water upon the state- ments of the Old Testament. The laying of the corner stone of a new church at Fort Washington was the occasion for a sermon from Father Hecker, in which the reverend gentleman rejoiced over the progress of Catholicism. Our reports from Ulster county give a ser- mon by Rev. Mr. Vandeever, in Kingston, on the character of Christ, and one inthe same place, by Dr. Still, on the miraculous power of faith. In Brooklyn Mr. Beecher was radiant with joy over the application of one hundred and fifteen persons for admission to the fold of Plymouth. After announc- ing this fact Mr. Beecher preached on the subject of the glory of the ages to come, when there will bo ‘‘a new heaven and @ new earth,” that righteousness may dwell in it. Father Cassidy and Rev. Mr. Chapman also delivered interesting sermons in Brook- lyn. Indeed, all the religious discourses of yesterday were on important subjects affecting the present and future welfare of mankind; hence we recommend the perusal of our reports this morning to all persons who seek to mend their ways and to walk with the pure and righteous, Tho Demonstration ef the Paris Commune. The last files of the English journals contain full reports of the meeting which took place in Hyde Park, London, on the 15th of last month. The demonstration was intended to express the sympathy of the Eaglish republicans with the present insurrection which is destroying Paris and disturbing France. Though the assemblage was comparatively small the lan- guage of the orators was fierce and violent, and unmistakably hostile to the governments of England and the other European countries, From the addresses made on the occasion it is easy to perceive the drift and tendency of the thoughts of these would-be leaders of the work- ingmen of Great Britain. Unfortunately the sentiments of these men too often exercise a dangerous influence over the working classes, and notwithstanding that the English press affects to ridicule the demonstra- tion in Hyde Park, it is nevertheless true that the agitation inaugurated in London, expressive of sympathy with the insurgents io Paris, is the indication of a dangerous senti- ment prevailing among a certain class of Brit- tish workmen, In all large cities there are to ‘be found republicans of a stripe who advocate the overthrow of every form of government which does not concede impossibilities. Lon- don is the very hotbed of these men, They flock there from every clime, and receive a warm welcome from the fanatical theorists who abound there. The little cropping out of the Red element at the Hyde Park demon- stration may be but the precursor of other and more serious exhibitions. It is well known that throughout the capitals of Europe there exist combinations of men as daring and as meckless as those who now fight behind tho barricades of Paris. Give them but an oppor- tunity to show their strength, and they will do it. Viewing the London demonstration in this light, we do not wholly agree with the press of London in regarding the democratic display in the English capital as of small ac- ‘count. In London in Favor The Street Car Murder. The public will demand not only the prompt ‘and severe punishment of the miscreant who 80 foully murdered Mr. Putnam, but the most searching investigation will have to be made into the conduct of the driver and conductor of the car, in order to discover how far ono ‘was or both were oulpable in connection with this most dastardly and bloody outrage. ‘Those who may desire to throw dust in the eyes of the men who will be called upon to act in this case, who will be disposed to take advantage of every technicality in order to make the crime appear less heinous than it is, and who will endeavor to shield the villain from the vengeance of an outraged community, had better take care, had better be warned in time ; for the consequences of such conduct on their part will be most unpleasant. This last murder has shocked the public to a great degree, and the question is naturally asked, who is safe? Punishment must follow quickly on the heels of the hellish deed, and it will have to be of acharacter to strike terror to tho hearts of the many scoundrels among us whose hands are ever ready to take life, even without the slightest provocation. The mur- derer will have to bo mado an example of. The law will have to be prompt and the pun- Ishment adequate to the crime, or else an ex- asperated community may see fit to decorate a fow lampposts with the carcases of some of the wretches for whom mercy would be ridiculous, NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MAY 1. 187L—TRIPLE SHEET, VERSAILLES.; PARIS.

HOSTILITIES ON THE WEST SIDE.

The men were thoroughly demoralized Communists at Moulineaux. and driven Forty thousand insurgent troops are now massed in the Champs de Mars awaiting orders to advance. THE MASONIO MISSION. Yesterday there was a grand scene on the Champs Elysées, the occasion being the de- parture of the Freemasons from Paris to visit M. Thiers at Versallles.. A vast crowd assem- bly, when Fort Valérien suddenly opened fire, scattering the people in all directions. Undeterred by the shells, which were falling in largenumbers, the Freemasons advanced and planted 120 flags on the ramparts, 120 lodges being represented. At six o'clock they reached the outposts of the Versailles forces, bearing a banner on which were inscribed the words ‘“Aimons nous les uns les autres” (‘Let us love one another”). On reaching the outposts they were blindfolded and taken to headquarters and were all subsequently sent back, with the exception of their president and two dele- gates. The mission, it will thus be seen, was unsuccessful, AROHBISHOP DARBOY RELEASED. To-day Archbishop Darboy, of Paris, was released from confinement in prison, by order of the Communal authorities, who were doubtless influenced by the interposition of the German government in his behalf. PROVISION TRAINS STOPPED. All provision trains on the railway are stopped to-day, so that henceforth Paris may be regarded as invested. PRUSSIANS IN FAVOR. It is reported here that the Prussian gov- ernment has received an intimation from the Versailles authorities that the latter would like the German forces to remain near Paris for two years longer.

THE FORT TO BE RETAKEN, Generel Cluseret, who went to the front at the first news of the defection of the troops, returned at noon to-day, having failed to stop the panic. He has sent out fresh troops, among them the ‘Avengers of Paris,” to reoccupy the works, and a desperate fight is now in progress in that quarter, ARMING THE ENORINTE. Rumors of reverses to the Nationals in other quarters are current.

BERLIN, April 29, 1871, In spite of the present financial embarrassment of the French government, which has rendered it unable to meet its most immediate engagements, Prince Bismarck has strongly urged M. Thiers for the payment of the first instalment of the war indem- nity, which, several newspaper reports to the con- trary notwithstanding, still remains unpaid. Bismarck also demanded the settlement of the contribution for the maintenance of the German army of occupation, tong since overdue, M. Thiers replied that he could not raise the money just now, except on very unfavorable terms, owing to the Paris insurrection, which has greatly impaired French credit. He felt, however, conf- dent that the government would soon obtain the mastery over the Communists, and that with the end of the present troubles public confidence in French securities would revive, which would enabio him to negotiate a loan on something like reasona- ble terms. Prince Bismarck, In his rejoinder, insisted upon the payment of the amount (about three hundred million francs) due for the support of the German armies now in France, and his demand has been complied with, as the Speler Gazetie of to-day an- nounces that the French contribution to the support of the German troops nas been paid up to the 15th instant.

Lonvon, April 30, 1871, The many attacks mado upon Mr. Lowe's budget, coupled with the late defeat of the government upon the Crown lands question, have endangered the position of the Gladstone Ministry, and various are the speculations as to its probable tenure of oMce, The new measure of the Chanceller of the Ex- chequer does not even command the unqualified support of his own party, and the opposition, neaded | by Disraeli, will probably make a grand effort to oust the Gladstone Ministry.
