montaries, it is thus the Hzrarp has become ithe greatest of the preachers—a living power among the churches. We are pleased with the acknowledgment made by Mr. McLean mainly because we know no society whose good wishes we more desire or with whom we would more willingly co-operate than the Young Men’s Christian Association, Henry Ward Beecher and tic Press. “The newspaper is worth mines of gold.” ‘These words on Sunday evening fell from the lips of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, the most sparkling, certainly, if not the ablest and most eloquent of living divines. Mr. Beecher on Sunday evening was more’ solemn than is his sual habit, but the solemnity of his manner gave weight to his powerful utterances. In . pointing out the causes of French misfortune his remarks on education and the press were worthy of his wisdom. ‘The newspaper,” said he, “‘is worth mines of gold. It is to the body politic what the arteries are in the haman ody.” We agree with Mr. Beecher that the want of a fzee press in France was a national curse. A free Church in a free State was the fiream of the good and great Cavour. A free Church in a free State is good, but it is not pnough, The American reality is grander Yhan the European dream. A free Church in # free State—a free press in a free State— pore constitute our pride. We echo Mr. eecher's wish when he gays, ‘“‘Would to God Yhat those who conduct the newspapers might ee their responsibilities!” With tie New ‘ork HeRatp marching proudly in front and the Christian Union pushing boldly forward fwe do not think that Mr. Beecher has any good {ground for despair. Qur Roman Correspondeuce. » In this morning’s Heratp we publish an Snteresting letter from our correspondent in Rome, in which are given the modifications pnd alterations introduced into the Papal Guarantees bill. ‘As the bill stands at present othing now remains necessary to make it a 9 but the royal signature. The alterations from the original bill, while possessing the Appearance of conceding very liberal advan- tages to the Pope, leave the statute in pretty much the same shape as when it was originally presented to the Italian Parliament. The con- cessions are not as substantial as might appear at a hasty glance. On the evening of the Gth inst. an event occurred in Rome which caused excitement throughout the city. An infernal machine was placed in the hall and inside the outer door of a residence in Via dei Barbierl, and by some means or other was exploded, causing some damage to the building and spreading consternation among the assemblage who were gathered inside. From the fact that the per- fons who were inside the building were gathered together for a religious purpose, to Worship God in a form different from that pursued by devout Catholics, it was inti- mated that the outrage was perpetrated at the Instigation of the Catholic clergy. The out- rage, which was murderous in intent and cowardly in execution, failed in accomplishing any evil resulis; but this does not relieve the authors of it from the crime of wickedness ‘attached to the intent. The attempt to fasten the deed on the Catholic clergy is contempti- ple in the extreme. In Rome, as in Paris before the refgn of the Commune was brought to a close, there exists a class of desperadoes who, knowing no God, no church, no law, or po respect for the rights of their fellow man, will engage in any act, no matter how despe- gate, to accomplish their ends. The Catholic clergy are especial objects of hatred to this class, and when the trath is revealed, if ever, Jt will be found that theso wretches and none ‘others were the authors of this foul-minded deed. Tho Insurance Convention. The labors of this Convention, as reported ‘in our columns, are manifestly well directed. \A considerable amount of work has been laid ‘out, and it is likely that the session will be ‘prolonged for another week. Special com- mittees have been appointed, whose duty it is to consider and report upon the important questions of assets and the valuation of poli- pies, or, in other words, the actual liabilities ‘of companies and their available means of ‘meeting them now and in the future. With a Batisfactory solution of these points the entire jeonfidence of the public will be accorded to ithe system, and especially to those com- panies a statement of whose affairs may strictly comply with the requisitions that will ve made. In putting themselves in constant communi- ‘cation with those parties whose long expe- rience in the insurance business entitles their ‘opinion to much weight in the management of ‘detail, particularly, the assembled commis- sioners have taken a wise step; and this, ombined with a sense of the responsibility which rests upon them as guardians of the public Interests, will produce results which ‘must prove highly satisfactory to the Insar- ing world. . The most encouraging harmony prevails in the Oonvention. Each member secms aware of the importance of the subjects under con- sideration, All evince an carnest desire to bring about such results a3 suall afford the ost possible protection to the public and at the same time prove of real value to every found company engaged in a business which Alrectly interests all classes in the community. Hor anv Dry.—The weather for some cays past has been hot and dry over a large area of the United States, and reports of damages and losses to farmers and planters by fires in the forests and by caterpillars and grasshop- pers are not diminishing but increasing from any to day. We hope that a good relieving ‘and reviving rainy season is approaching and not far off, for otherwise we may begin to entertain fears of another season of Wrought, with all its dreadful consequences, The country wants rain, and we hope that we shall soon have a plentiful supply.

SHOOTING AFFRAY IN ARKANSAS, Mempais, Tenn., May 29, 1871. A shooting affray occurred yesterday in Arkansas, opposite here. Mr. Collier, proprietor of @ hotel, d @ ,party of friends, were shooting at a target in the yard ar the hotel, when they were ordered by a colored magistrate and deputy constabie to desist, ‘whicn they did, retiring to the hotel. Words en- sued between Coliler and the constable, and the latter drew a pistol and fired at Coiller. One of the party then fired at the consta- ble, when he and his companions left and soon afterwards returned with a large party of negroes, all armed, who, after calling upon Collier to como out, fired a volley into the house, slightly wounding Collier, Collor’s party returned the fre and killed John Raynor, and the others fled. Last night a great many citizens of Hopetiela came over to this city, fearing an attack, and those remaining took rel 1n @ Whariboat and armed themselves.

CHARLES MaA- THEWS.—The eminent comedian who has for some weeks past drawn to Daly’a cosey little dramatic boudoir the largest and most ele- gant audiences that could greet a mana- Berlal eye tovk his benefit last night before a crowded house. The occasion was of special inter- est, as Mrs. Charles Mathews appeared for the first time after an absence of many years, Time and ab” sence have not robbed her of any of the vivacity, co quetry, and, if we might be allowed the expression, the diablerie that made her, as Lizzie Weston, a spe- clal petof the public, She appeared at first m Planche’s well-known parody or burlesque, ‘The Golden Fleece,” in which she oui-Racheled Ra- chei, ouishone Risto, and was more terrible than Japauschek as the venyelul Medea, The modern st not being en régie forthe era of Jason and “The Golden Fleece,” a special fe was COU structed for this occasion over the regular one, and, according to the rules of the Fiat als Greek drama, several of the most splendid pictorial effects were left entirely to the imagination of the audience. ews Was the original Greek chorus, thereby msing with the usual bates people, &c., and his services were @ very onerous description, Davidge made a testy old Creon, who was constantly in a fever heat. After the Parody came a little pit of fun, intrigue and non- seuse, Written by Brough, “The Comical Countess,”’ It was admirably caiculated to bring out the pecn- Mar charms of Mrs, Mathews’ style of acting, and met with as warm a reception as its predecessor. The entertainment concluded with the popular ool as a Cucumber,” We have spoken before of » Mathews’ admirablo impersonation of Plumper, and need only say that last night tt was as enjoyable asever. This bill will be repeated every evening during the present week, Mrs. Mathews’ takes a benetit on Friday. We would suggest, as a great improvement to the parody, the elision of the ab- surd music in it, especially that of Jason and the chorus. Genteel burlesque of this kind 1s only in- jured by weak attempts at music by persons who do not know how to sing. It is a charming and enjoy- able entertainment without the singing. WALLACK’S THEATRE.—For one hundred suc- cessive nights, some ten years ago, the pretty, romantic and popular play of “Kosedale” at Wal- lack’s was the ruling theatrical attraction of New York. At its reproduction last nigut, with an in- creased splendor in its appointments, there was a reproduction of that first overfowing house of ten years ago—the best evidence that could be desired of the substantial popularity of this pretty play of “Rosedale,”’ Down to last night it 1s only four years since it was played at this house, and yet the enjoy- ment of the audience was apparently as iresh and sparkling as tf not one of them ever ‘witnes: it before, If we had the space we should ltke to dwell to some extent on the peculiar excellence of Leser Wal- lack in the character of Elliott Grey, and on those @ qualities and accomplishments of his a3 an actor which have contributed so much to make his theatre a favorite resort of refined and cultivated Petrie. But our limits compel us in this notice to brief, and yec we cannot omit the recollection that the places once filied in this play by honest old George Holland, the excellent old lady, Mrs. Ver- non, and the delighiful Mary Gannon will never be tilled by them agaiv. The present cast, however, ‘with such names, in addition to Wallack, as Gilbert, Stoddart, Ringgold, Rockweil, Miss Lulu Hurd, Quigley, Leonard, E. M. Holland, Peck, Dan- vers, Enie Germon, Miss Mestayor, Miss Deland, Miss Ciara Jennings, Mra, John Sefton, Miss Benton and Miss — Blaisdell, is perfecily satisfactory, and each in his or her part, and all together, give us a very charming representation of a charming play. ltis@ charm- ing play in the story which it tells, in the intermin- giing which it gives us of romance and sentiment, and melodrama, and high comedy and low comedy, and inits great variety of characters, scenes and situations, and in the gratifying settlement of all the wrongs and all tlie apprehensions and dangers of the plot The spectator 1s inter- ested in the development of the case more and more as it progresses, and leaves the house at its close in an easy, enjoyable and graceful frame of mind. The efiect is good aud tue moral is Food, and so We are sure thar this favorite play will old good for many nights to come; for it is admira- bly adapted to the season of strawberries and cream. Bowkry THEATRE.—The drama of “Oliver Twist? was last evening introduced at the Old Bowery, with Mr. W. H. Whalley as Fagin, Mr. Marden as Bill Sykes, Miss Alice Newman as Oliver Twist and Mrs, W. G. Jones as Nancy Sykes, As may easily be im- agined the performance was of the most exciting kmd. Allthe characters were represented in the style most proper, and great was the applause of the audience. After Ollver and his associates had disappeaied the laughable drama of “Brian 6’ Linn” succeeded, Mr, Maurice Piko taking the part of Brian and Mus Sheelah Sackett that of Shulah McCave. All the other parts. were well sustained and thoroughly enjoyed, It might have been expected that the Old Bowery would have been crowded with the German east side clement iast evening; but this ‘was not so, probably because the lager beer was not there on te flow. The audience, however, was by no means small, and was, as usual, entirely appre- ciative. Kare MorENsI.—This favorite prima donna con, tralto, after along absence, will appear before her many admirers in Brooklyn this evening. A com- plimentary testimonial has been tendered to her, and she will be assisted by many excellent artists, THE COOPER UNION. Exhibition of the Art Students’ Works. The annual exhibition of the scenic and art de partments of the Cooper Union opened last night The large reading room was festooned with the national flag and & band of music enlivened the pro- ceedings with selections of popular airs, Immense numbers of visitors thronged the galleries and rooms of the institute; in fact so great was the in- flux of people anxious to sce the works of the pupils of this popular institution tnat circulation was exceedingly dimcult. This evident mteress in the art schools gives us a meagare of the rapidly GROWING ART TASTE in America, which only needs proper direction to place this country on an equality in art productions with the old European countries, In tho work undertaken by the Directors of the Cooper Union we see a step in the right direction; but with full con- sctousness of the difficullics with which these well intentioned gentlemen have to struggie, it Is incum- bent upon us to remind them that they have only taken one feeble step in the right road. Creditabie ag the exhtotion is to the Cooper Union, It marks more strongly the neglected and backward state of art in this country rather than any particular pro- pg on the past of the pupils, Were we to regard ‘he drawings of the puplls with a severely critical eye we should be comp¢iied to say that the princtpa) merit of tho best of them consists iu belng not very bad. Traces of A VICIOUS SYSTEM are everywhere apparent, though efforts of a more healthy nature are now being made to Introduce a logical system of instrucuon. Before students can hope to draw figures correctly it is abselutely neces: sary that they should learn the fundamental princt- ples of art, and acquire the power of drawing straight hues. This fact has been recognized by the new directors of the art schools, and the pleas- autest and most charming sight in the exbibitton 18, furnished by drawings of squares and cones and other simple solid forms, be- cause it furnishes 80 much ical work upon which to build up art skill. But even in this department the pupils have been allowed to £o beyond thew power in attempting to shade, while thelr time could be much better employed In learning to draw correct outlines. In the ladies’ department there are some very fair clemen tary drawings from the solid, but the tigure studtes from the round are wretched, and reflect great discredit on the masters who permit their puptle to waste thelr time in shading—as we shall call it, through courtesy—sketches which the merest tyro in art can see to be INCORRECT IN DRAWING and completely eut of proportion. If students wish to draw the human form—the best and nobiest study they can make—they shoulda begin by draw- ing the bones and the complete skeleton, until they understood the proportions of the diferent mem- bers, after which they might endeavor to fill in the muscles, and the knowledge thus derived woul revent them exhibiting such sadly tisproportion Pgure drawings ag at present appear on the walls of the Institute, What we Nave sald of the ladies applies witn equal force to the male students. A few studies of the (orso of Venus are the only draw- ings in the advanced class that have any preten- stons to be considered as properly directed efforts, and even these fall far short of what we should ex- ect from art stndents. A misconception seems 0 exist in the minds of the pupils as to the value and APPLICATION OF SHADING, and hence we have the outlines blackened, with masses of dark lines that serve no comprebensible urpose. Shadows should reveal form, and no line snould be drawn which is not destined to mark some truth. If students would keep this in mind their work would be ¢leaner and more intelligible; but what both masters and pupils would do well to re- member ts that no amount of shading will correct a deiective outline. Tho results 10 mechanical rawing department are much more satistactory, and some excellent and conscientious work js on view. ‘The skeleton of every drawing ts shown, side by side with tae finished work, and the result of this accn- rate work 1s visible tn the finish, and correct propor- Uons of the drawings, THE SCULPTURAL CLASS is very poorly represented, and the same feverish desire to pass beyond their power Is visible in am- bitious aote to model statuettes by students Who ought to be trying to model a foot or @ hand correctly. In the Wood engraving department the ladies have made really wonderful progress. Among the best examples of work done by one year pupils are to be seen drawings which would reiect credit on more mature students. A landscape, by Miss Helen Burt, a student of three years’ atanding, de- bas eanecial mention and gives promise of good YACHTING, Match Race Between the Mary Emma and Yacht Club— ‘The two pretty little boats of the Harlem Yacht Club, the Mary Emma, Commodore W. E. Brinker- hoff, 21 feet 113, inches in length, and the Mary Loutse, D. Ransom, 22 feet 4 inches long, yesterday sailed @ match race over the same course upon which the exciting sweepstake contest of this club took place last Thursday. The second meeting grew out of the first, and Commodore Brinkerhoff felt that had not the Mary Emma been capsized on that Occasion she would have stood a fair chance of winning, and thus challenged the owner of the Louise for another trial. The incentive was the sum of $200. The latter accepted at once, and, all needed repaira paving been made meanwhile to the Emma, each was in readi- ness at noon to be away and decide their relative superiority in the matter of speed. Quite an in- terest was observable in this little race, and the con- testants were accompauied over the course by four or five yachts, the Favorita, Orient and Peerless be- ing among the larger of these, At noon the boats Jett the club house anchor » Toot of 125th street, and proceeded tothe Middle Ground, opposite the Tattle Kills, when, everything being in rea‘liness, they were sent away. ‘the Mary Emma filled away frst; but it seemed that il luck was certain to pursue her, a8 at once her windward shroud was carried away, and what litle she had ovary by an effective start was thus lost. But good fortune came to her afterwards, and, no more ac- cidents happening, she showed the way to the Louise all over the course, which was from the place of starting to the Can bnoy, returning to Col- fege Point buoy, thence to Throg’s Neck buoy and back—a distance of about twenty miles—and made the race in sh., 10m. and 45s., beating the Louise, with time allowance, ém. and 27s. The rivalry between the members of tho several craft of the Harlem Yacht Club 14 of such a nature that 11 must be pro- ductive of much that is good to tho pastume of yachting. RELIGIOUS CONVENTIONS, Presbyterian Geveral Assembly, CHICAGO, May 20, 1871. The report of the Judicla: Committee was pre- aented io the Presbyterian Assembly to-day, and recommended, in reference to the complaint of certain members of the session of the church of Eaton, Ohio, against the Cincinnatt Synod, thatthe complainants have leave to with- draw the complaint without prejudice, and be advised to present the same to that Synod, Th report also recommended that the complaint o: Christian Kern and others be again referrod to the New Orleans Presbytery, with the Injunction that the complainants be allowed a heariug. Tne report was adopted. Rev, Dr. Backus, from the committee of twenty- one, spoke explanatorily, vindicating the pian of the committee. Messrs. Gibson and Booth, of New York, made ad- dresses 1n favor of adopting the report. Rev. Dr. Musgrave made an elaborate and lengthy speech, strongly urging. the prompt and decisive re- Jection of the whole scheme. He thought it lacked simplicity and economy, and would prove a failure as regarded etlectiveness and the collection ot funds, He predicted, that 1f adopted, a monopoly would be become erected, with a vast power of patronage, and would grasping, selfish and arbitrary, Sonn pas ultimately and controlling the Assembly itself. He implored the house to kill the measure as a play hurtful to the interests of Christ’s Kingdom. ‘Th preseut Church machinery was abundantly opera- uve, Under it the growth of the Church had been relatively greater than that of the Methodists or of the population of the country. It had collected $10,000,000 last year. We wanted nothing better, Pending the consideration of the report, the Assem- bly adjourned till half-past two o'clock, P. M. German Catholic Union.

Delegates were present from all the German Catholic socteties of the United States, To-day tne visiting and local societies formed a procession, and several thousand paraded the principal streets, with banners and bands of music. THE QUAKERS’ CONFERENCE. The First Day School Association, vulgarly known as the Hicksite Quakers, now In gencral conference here, continued thetr sessions yesterday, and from present indications and the speea with which they get through business they have enough to last them through the week. Valuable time Js wasted waiting for the promptings of the spirit which in other bodies woula be oceupled by the dictate or common sense. Motions are never put to vote, but an ex- pression of approval or disapproval from individual delegates is requested by tho Secretary, who is the presiding genius of the “School.” Mr. T. Clarkson faylor ~~ s acted = ims that’=— capacity ~— last evening, | assisted sby Lydia A. Lock- wood, of Poughkeepsie. Elizabeth Leadhaum led off with some remarks on religious teaching, mn which she advised Friends not to attempt that of which they know nothing. The annual report of the Executive Committee for the past year was read and approved. It showed that the committee design to become more religiously aggres- sive than heretofore, and that they are preparing for publication books, in try and prose, for their children and members of associations, and cards, tracts, &c., containing their religious doctrines and views, for more general circulation. Paa@ss HALLOcK Was making some remarks against the prevailing habit of Friends tn these days substituting in their prayers and exhortations the name of God for that of Jesus, While they ac- knowledge Jesus to be God, the fact of the atone- ment—salvation by Christ—1s so associated with the name of Jesus that when the name is dropped the fact 18 soon lost sight of AARON M. PowgLL commended the Executive Committee for making haste slowiy in the matter of ubiication. He counselled them to be very careful n promulgating doctrinal views and matters o! faith, They are all agreed on the grand central doctrine of the indwelling of the Holy Ghost i the human heart, and this 1s their bond of union. But if they fo, on to define the doctrine of the atone- ment and the divinity of Christ and His coequalliy and unity with the Father he feared there might enter in discordant elements which would sever the associations. Reports from the several yearly associations, showing the progress of their schools, were read an addresses were made by delegates on various sub- jects. The delegates were constituted a@ committee to nominate ofiicers for the Conference and an ex. ecutive committee for the current year and to report this morning. Adjourned. WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The attendance was small, owing to an admission fee being charged at the door. Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker, the first speaker, asked if the child’s liberty was in more danger of being spilled out of the cradle of State when rocked by women than by§their husbands, gons and brothers, and claimed that there were numerous political questiong == that needed the minds of women jd in thelr settlement, espectally the question of temperance—the most vital one now under con- sideration. She closed by quoting at consideravie length from Mrs, Josepnine Batier’s essay on the re. clamation of fallen woman in support of her arga- ment against licensing prostitution as @ public necessity, With thinking women as the victims. The Rev. Gilbert Havens sald the woman sui Movement was growing in strength on the ade! ie that it was first endured by the public, then pitied and it now had a good prospect of being embraced. He could find no argument against, for every one that had been used had died a natural death by lapse of time. If poiities were Gograding, the more was woman needed at the poll to protect her le relatives from corruption. Governor Clafiin’s appointment of two ladies as justices of the peace was halled as the rising of the sun of woman’s da: Legisiature for hanging on three days at $1,500 per diem, to settle ttle matter of $500, and a words about treating male and femaie night-walkers alike, concluded nis long speech. Juila Ward Howe said that the association hoped to rock the world to peace ere long, as each conven- tion thns far held had excelled its predecessor, happy result she predicted forthe present Boston session. Men, though {bey might love to hear them- selves scoided @ little, should not wait too long before mending their ways, lest the scoldi: by long continuance, should become unendurabl Grace Greenwood excused horself trom speaking ma bappy manner, promising to favor the com- any to-morrow morming, when few would be likely 0 be present and the reporters absent. She an- nounced her platform, however, by saying that suo was willing that but three classes only of women should be allowed to vote—single women who had property, married women who had minds and such others ag might desire tho ballot. A good watch, a clothes wringer and a sewing mia- chine stonld be the [ides gpd qualifications, and the akility to support their hasbands well ant the family in Ken ing a good bearding house should not be overlooked im the requirements of the govern- ent examiners. ae anny Blackwell made the last speech, and Celia Burleigh, M.
