Mennness and Its Results—The lonel Peckwell—fhe Une Municipal Resignation of (€ Kindest Cut of Ail. % We One of the prominent results in Newark of the late Orange-Ribbon riots in New York last Wednesday Is the present disjointed condition of its citizen soldiery. For years and years past, ever since the close of the war, as already *tatea in the HERALD, the necessity of providing the militia with proper armories has every now and then been @ fruitful source of discussion, A year or so ago tho matter was strongly agitated, and it did gcem as though the fond hopes of the NEWARK “BOWLD SOUER BOYS" ‘would be fully realized, but they were not, nor are they likely to be for some time yet; certainly not. until the present municipal magnates are shamed into some degree of decency, if uot of generosity. It has only been by ine most en- ergetic and persistent efforts on the part of such men as Colonel Peckwell, and Colonel Ward, the present postmaster, thatany organiza- tion of military has been kept up atall. The citt- Zens take no interest whatever im the matter, ex- cept on the Fourth of July, Washington's Birthday, or other occasions when a parade of the military takes place; then the interest they !ake 1s to ORITICISE STARE and condemn the troops if they happen to make a misstep or appear in seedy unilormsa, &c. To put thelr hands lu their pockets and say “Mere, boys, fix up well; get handsome warforms and proper armo- ries,” would be something to rank among the won- ders of the world—particularly that seetion of it called Jersey. In view of ti 8 state of affairs it is not 680 much the fault of the City Fathers, after all, as itis the people. The peop'e keep a sharp eye on every penny expended by the Common Council—so far as they can—and the result ts the municipal ma- chine 1s run as close as posstb'e. 4ust now, how- ever, in view of the di ‘efal inanner in which tho militia are Known to liave been used ON THE TWELEIT, when one regiment was driven for accommodation into the burtal ground of the forefathers and the other into Kechtei’s big financial failure—the Kink— and the following day presented with a pill of $100 Jor its use for a day, Ue betrer feciings of the com- munity are beginning to crop out, and it is probable that some ac‘ton will be taken by the Aldermen in tho premises ou an early day, There are THREE REGIMENTS IN NEWARK, ‘the First, Second and iifth, or veteran, The first numbers about two hundred and seventy-five men, the Second 120 aud the "Ver: The Second ts the only one provided with ar nd this 43) maintained entirely at the expense of the oficers and = memt with the ex. ception of $500 a ye. coniribuied by the city.

Commencement Exercises of the Wesleyan University. SCIENCE AND RELIGION. Baccalaureate Sermon by President Cummings— Missionary Discourse by Rev. Dr. Newhall, MIpPLETOWN, Conn., Juiy 16, 1871, The commencement exercises of the Wesleyan University (which is the oldest college connected with the Methodist denomination in this country), and whicn will be continued throughout the week, were opened this morning by Rev. Dr. Cummings, the President of the University, who preached his Baccalaureate discourse in the Methodist church, The members of the graduaung class occupied re- served seata in tne body of the church. The Presl- dent took for bis text the third verse of the first chapter of Jude—“Contend earnestly for the falth delivered to the saints.” In his introductory state- ments the speaker said that Judo deemed it nece: sary to give this exnortation because ungodly men at that time presented errors against the fupdamen- tal truths of the Gospel. The same reason existed at present for this exhortation, inasmuch as faith and culture had not always been nor were they now umted, The time of the French revolution was a period when the opposition between faith and cul- ture was most strikingly manifest. This re- volt was now seen in the demand that the Bible shall be excluded from the schools; in the theory relative to colleges, that their object is sumply for instruction in scientific truths, and are most efficient when under secular control, and that in them religion has no place, Atheism was not 0 prevalent as the disposition to exclude God, Napoleon expressed his wonder tnat Laplace could have written 80 much and not once introduce the nue of Goa, The latter sald that he had no occa- sion for that hypothesis, and he (the speaker) was of the opinion that many of the thinkers of the present day sympathized very much with the idea of the French infidel; or, a8 Comte expressed it, they take God to the frontiers of sclenco, and dismiss him with thanks for his provisional services, Numerous reasons were assigned for this practical infidelity in addition to the general reason of man’s natural enmity to God. These apostles of science magnily the importance of the tndlyidu- ality of man, and recognize no other au- thority, while tne Bible taught that he is dependent, feeble and wicked. A reason for this Was also found in the great advance in scientific in- vesligation. The opinions of scientile men have been conngcted with their religion, and inasmuch 43 many of these views have been found to be erro- neous, especially with reference to the immediate operation that God has In the material world, which, 80 far from being ascribed to arbitrary interference, 1s now considered as manifest in general law, good men have limited scientific attainments and opposed themselves to science, deeming it atheistic; and tits has led to the contempt on the part of men of science for religion, supposing that these men fainy represent religious views, Then the other reason for this apparent confiict between science and reli- gion is traceable to the advance in scientific and moral froth, Svientific truth has been audacious, aud has not hesitated to attempt the SOLUTION OF ANY PROBLEM; but there have been no startling discoveries or ad- vance in moral truth. Tne science of mind ts about the same, and scientific men dnding errors in the past connected with moral truth say that this is the result of ignorance, and that the true remecy for the world’s errors 18 in the discoveries that they sre making. A tendency to scepticism results from the subdivision of study, which tended to clog the mind and limit its range of thought. Just as the profes- sional man hag little interest In stucdtes nol con- nected with his profession, so these sceptical scien- Ulic men have as littic interest in spiritual truths, br. Cummings spoke of the unfortunate use of the term ‘science,’? which was limited to one single department of investigation, buc which ought > inclu all truth, moral as well as physi- the only harmony of development aud culture being found when all these departments are blended, He then proceedea to ‘wv that one Of the tendencies to the matertaiism which he was discussing resulted from the mode of investigation, Scientific men contined themseives to facts, and did not consider the efficient cause or design with reference to which an act was done. Hence they rested ta law, and used that term as ex- p-essing cause, This was illustrated by reference to the statement of a distinguished naturalist in his princtple of nataral selection, who said that by that principle the best species were continued—good at- tributes perpetuating themselves and the poorer species dying out, because the qualities in them, not b-ing well adapted for continuance, perish. The next point discussed was that no man was completely developed whose spiritual nature was not cultivated. Scientific studios do not develop the highest part of man’s nature, nor do scientiite pur- sults dircetly lead to God, No man who confined lumself merely to matertal pursuits could rise to the heights of the spiritual development of tus nature. ntific men who are religious are not religious scause of thelr scientific pursuits, but they co nected their rehgion with them. Newton ended his treatise with a hymn because he was a pious man; but other distinguished men have considered their Investigations as tending to infidelity because tielr sympathies were with those views. It must be ad- wnitted that a very large class of scientific men are not religious; and however poetic it might be to say that “an uudevout astronomer ts mad,” yet very many distinguished astronomers have been very un- devout, The Doctor then pointed out the mista! that many made In the tmportance they attached to the opinions Of scientific men, Whose opiutons were valuaple only in respect to the pursuits in which they were engaged. Asa painter's opinion in law or in medieiy yrould be of very little avatl, no more was the scientific man’s opinion ol anv worth on subjects beyond the range of his investigations. Thea there was a very improper disregard on the part of many devotees of science of spirttual things and contempt for there manifestation. Many a man Who would Wate with keenest interest the steps of a fly and the WRANGLING OF A SNAKE has nothing but contempt for the manifestations of spirituality in uncultivated natures. The labor of such men was over estimated, The man whose Whole life and all lis siudy has led to no other dis- covery than some new form of a snow flake or a new species of a lizard could haraly be compared im sc.uiness With the common laborer, who dirs the that drains tie marsh, Tae tendency to dis- ‘d God in scientific studles was increased by me spirit among certain reformers, who, by on of the slow development of moral trath, have been led to conclude tat ether means than the great principles revealed In the Bible for the eleva- tion of society should be resorted to for this pur- pose, Dr. Cummings next considered the importance of jaith in its highest sense and most tmportaut to ‘ary to reason or yrome to the evidence of science, Faith in religion docs not differ in any respect from faith in common things only ag It had higher authority and stronger evidence. Those who asserted that the teachings of the Bible were contrary to science did not understand the design of the Bible, which was noé to teach scientiiic trath. ‘Tne speaker cluctiatea that thought by remarking that man is an impressive betng and was designed to be so, and that the truth yet to be learned 1s as tmportant as the elementary treth known in the | firstages. He afiirmed that if the Bible undertook to teach all this truth it would be absurd and inex- plicable to the men of any given fe and con- trary to the nature of man, who, by his own investigations, is expected to acquire truth of Natural. science ts no more opposed this character, to tue seachings of the Bible than 1s mental science. ‘The Bible no more contradicts any other science than its language was formerly supposed to contra- dict astronomy. Guizot very aptly sald that the Bible was designed to teach men how to go to heaven, and not to teach how the heavens go. It was designed to teach the wat doctrine of the cross, and ali these other subjects were incidental. God required the confidence of man in himself, and He inspired trast by tne revelation of His power aud moral excellence, implicit faith in which being esscatial to man’s highest development, This able and exhaustive ae upon this tm- portant theme was concluded by an earnest exhor- tation to the young men to hold fast to the fatth coupled with some appropriate and touching re marks to tne graduating class, MISSIONARY SERMON BY DR, NEWHALL, ‘The annual sermon before the rtp Lyceum was to have been delivered this evening by Kev. J. T. Peck, D. D., of the Syracuse University. In his absence Professor Newhall, D. D., consented to preach the discourse, The text was taken irom the 40th chapter of Genesis, the p being the prophecy that the sceptre should not depart from Jadah until Shiloh came, In his exordium the preacher gave a lucid explanation of the terms employed im the text and their prophetic sigattl- cance, The first thought advanced was that God's plan for the salvation of the world mvolyed the Training of ® missionary nation separated from other nattons py statute and ritual; that the ideas of A true nationality and of God and His government might hecome so imbedded in the world that they would never be eradicated. For fifteen centuries the Hebrew nation was trained for its work by the incnication of the fundamental laws of Moses, were tie unity, spirituality and holiness of God, the duties or reverence, ot mee and love arising out of them, the siafniness of man, the aunty ‘of repentauco toward GQqd, He love of our nelehbor RK | the Jecture room and entrance atl. and me need of regeneration. Meanwhile the He- brews had been scattered throngh the principal cities of the civilized World, so thet through all the world there were patches of rich soil on which fell the firat seeds of the Gospel. ‘Tne Bible was the mis- sionary book. Its power, richness and beauty are felt more and more with the lapse of ages. God's message to the nations. Hebrew scribes, priests, prophets, poets and apostles have written it; and through the most exclusive nation in the world nas come the book that is for ail ages and na- tions, The sacred books of the Brahmins and of the Mohammedans are powerless,even absurd in the lan- guages of the West; thetr sacredness perisiies in the crucible of translation, But the Bible lives, 18 mighty, rich and beautiful IN TWO HUNDRED LANGUAGES, and ts even hitter to-day in our own English than it ever was in its original tongues. The indian of the East and of the West, the Esquimaux and the Hottentot alike confess its power, Science and plulosogay destroy the sacredness of a!l other books ut this; the common school Progrepby. 18 over- throwing the divine claims of the Vedas in the Indian pentasuias; but the wisest and most enlight- ened nations of the time have the deepest reverence for the Bible. The next proposition which the speaker advanced was, that through Judah came the missionary from heaven and the missionary religion—Chrst and Christianity, Once a year, on the great day of atoue- ment, had the High Priest drawn aside the vell that hid the holy of holies and’ stood with the blood of atonement in his hand before the awful Shekinah. When the heart of the great Redeemer burst upon the cross that vell was rent, and the wall between Jew and Gentile fell, The Shekinah that had re- turned to heaven fell In cloven tongues of fre upon the heads of the aposties on the day of Pentecost, aud they feit the divine commission burned into their souls that day. There was a power, richness and beauty in tue Gospel, for which earth could tur- BL Bo pavailel. Power was the most striking ele- ment in THE GOSPEL SCHEME, and sceptics would do well to solve the problem, if they could, how a dozen Jewish peasants—poor, 1g- norant, persecuted and despised—have revolution- ized the world, The work which Christiauity under- takes to accomplish 1s nothing less than the exter- mination of all other systems of religion. It assails the most deeply-rooted prejudices of human nature, adapts itself to all classes of men, the ignorant and the cuitivated allke, and proposes not oniy to bring outwart acts into conformity to a law which 1s naturally distasieful to mau, but to subdue his thoughts and produce willing obedience. Never did statesman or conqueror dream in lus wildest imagination of such a conquest over men, This Point was eloquently elaborated. With calm but Tesistless power Christ addressed himself to His work. How quietly He demolishes hoary errors with a word and settles questions of ages with a Senienco! What a magnetic charm 13 this that brings all grades of men to Hts feet! Ho mingles with the lowltest, yet the mightiest quake before Him. Herod trembles before Him in fis cradle, yet the lownest kiss the hem or His garment. Devils scatter at His glance, sickness flies, the dead come forth, The michtlest minds are deeply calm in the midst of their work. Vatnly dia WELL 'ON'S LEGIONS AT WATERI.OO look into that stern face to read the fortunes of the day. A continent was on Grant’s shoulders in the Wilderuess at the time he said, “When tus army ts defeated [ will let you know." These were feeble types of the calin consciousness of almighty strength which Ohrist manifested, Panl had deciared that the Gospel was the power of Goad, and to him the conguest of the world was po chimerical theory. ‘Te captain of our salvation Is the lion of the trine of Judah, The elements of this divine power were enumerated—trath, love, cter and ine super natural couverting agency of tie Holy Ghost and thelr influence in the Gospel system forcibly demon- strated. The mighty power of divine love traus- formed Saul, the persecator, into Paul, the aposile, and sent him blazing tarough the world. In speak- ing of the converting power of the Holy Ghost that comes to the soul that touches the cross he said:— AS the poor Wo.nan pressed through the throng to reach the Saviour, so poor, bewildered, sin-stricken humanity is pressing through the throng of supe: stitions, false religions and false philosophies to touca the hem of Jesus’ garment. Jn that touch is Wi The power of the Gospel 1s a super- nataral power. God converts by a creative fiat. He speaks ty the dark, old, chaotic souland says, “Let there be light,” and lo! there 1s light, On that the Christian Church depeads for th: conquest of heathen lands. Noton the arts of civilzation, not on the science or learning of our schoois does the Chareh depead, for these are but pioneers to ciear the way for the heavy artillery of the Guspel, which is the converting power of the Holy Ghost. In con- clusion the Projessor asked, *‘Are there signs of nis coming? Shall (he nations be gatiered soon to tho Shiloh: He auswered adirmatively by pointing to the fact that in three centuries Christianity WADED THROUGH BLOOD AND PRE to the throne of Constantine, and that in eighteen centuries it 1s the prevailing religion of more than & third of the human race. It began in the huis of Galilean fishermen and in the shops of tentmakers; but to-day the best brain of the earth Is its servant, the mighilest monarchs of the earth are its subjects and the most widely spread commerce and the most Jnduential civilizations of the globe spread its trutus through the world, Sctence 1s rapidiy undermining all forms of heathenism and establishing Cnristianity, An eloquent peroration closed this appropriate and able discourse, of which the above ts only a cou- densed sketch, The Judd Hall of Scievce—Interesting De- scription of the Editice=Dedivatory mouy. MIDDLETOWN, 1871. The “Orange Judd Hall of Natural Science,” which 1s to be dedicated to-morrow (Tuesday) with appro- priate ceremoutes, 18 the most spactous, complete and elegant structure of its kina to be found on the Continent, and marks an epoch tn the progress of scientific education in America. A condensed de- scription of the building will, no doubt, be read with interest, not only by those who are immediately identified with educational institutions, put by the people at large. The Wesleyan University is located on a high hill, overlooking the city, the Connecticut River, the extensive Portiand quarries and much of the surrounding country. The entire range of build. ings standing in a line, including the “Sctentific Hall,” the “Rich Library Hall,’’ the “New Memorial Chapel,” extends one-eighth of a mile, presenting on imposing appearance. THE NEW STRUCTURE is sixty-two feet front and ni nety-four feet deep, and 1s practically five stories high, as the basement 13 mostly above the surface. It 13 essentially flreproof; the walls and portico are of Portland sand stone; the cornices, dormer window frames, &c., are of iron; the roo! of slate, and an fron and brick floor, snpporce | on brick and iron pillars and walls, com- ietely shuts off all fire communication between the department in the first story and base- » natural history and cabinet rooms oment, ten feet high im the clear, is chtetly round, With a paved area and coping side the walis, where the ground rises at the xr This story nes abundant room for heat- Ing farnaces, for the rougher work of gen- eral and yiical chemistry, assaying, &c, It is y doors on each sideof the portico. the , fourteen feet high in the clear, has a large lecture and recitation room, with side eutrance for students, and one from the entrance hall for visitors, The floor ses frou Uie lecturer's tables, behind which are furnace, sandbain, drying ovens, distillery for siting cold water, filter pumps and every other requisite fora iaboratory, connecting through the brick Wall to the analytical room. The latter occu- pies the Westeru part of the building, having rooms for baiances, reagents and a smaller private or pro- fessors’ laboratory. The apparatus room for general chemistyy and another private room are adjacent to The second story—helght thirteen feet In the clear—1s devoted to natural phiiosophy, natural history, geolozy, botany, &c., with rooms A, B, ©, D, for apparatus specim preparation of specimens for the cabi- nets, & A dumb watter passes up through each floor for con ing apparatus and specimens. ‘This, lke the head of the stairs im the second story floor, 13 cut off by Sfreproof trapdoors when not in use. The third story and the fourth story together form the grand Cabtaet or Museam of Natural [istory. are occupied with alcoves, glass cases and specimen cases on tables, A broad opening in the floor throws the two rooms together and furnishes a place for large or high specimens of animal rematas, plants and the like. The cases aad tables above are shorter, leaving a walk and railing around the area. ‘The fourth story 18 essentially @ gallery to the third story, reached by sets of spiral staira, Abundant provision is made throughout the entire building for fines for farnaces and ventilators, Large ventilating flues are constructed, with thick irom smoke chim- neys running through the centre, so that a strong upward draft of air 1s produced outside of ubese tron Hues, Where great heat ts to be used for smelting or other purposes the furnace flues are ouilt of fire- brick. A chemtcal furnace is placed ip the basement, aud arrangements are made for con- yeying chemical fluids to the sewers; in short, the equipments of the laboratory and the furniture of the building are of the best and most improved kind. The third hoor has been furnished with a complete set of Professor Ward's series of casts of fosstls, the most noticeable of whieh Is the Megatherium Cu- vert, This gigantic skeleton Was discovered tn 178°, in Buenos Ayres, ®ad transported to Spain. Its ex- treme length is seventeen feet and nine inches and height seven feet, and when clotied with flesh its tail must nave Leen at least six feet in clroumference at the greater end, The fourth story contains ai immense number of insects, birds and otuer interesting and instructive objects, Some of te most distinguished professors of natural science ta the country were consulted relative to the plan and equipmenis of the hall, and no oxpense has beon spared to mike it complete in all its departments. Yhe President of the university, Rev. Dr. Cum- mings, has given unremitting attention to the con- straction of the edifice, and he deserves the con- gratulations of the friends of eaucation for his zealous co-operation with the donor of this muni- ficent gift to his alma mater.

The mar- ket subsequently fell off with gold, but not to the sume extent, and closed with a steady feellng at the following quotations:—United States currency sixes, 114 a 11444; do., 1881, regts- tered, 115 a 11544; do. do., coupon, 115a 115'4; do. five-twenties, registered, May and November, 113% a 114; do. do., 1862, coupon, do, 114% a U4%,; do. do., 1864, do. do., 113% a 114; do. do., 1865, do, d0., 1144 11444; do, do, registered, Jan- uary and July, 1123f 3113; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 11234 a 112%%; do, do., 1867, do. do., 112 a 112%; do. do,, 1863, do. do., 113 811514; do. ten-forties, regis- tered, 11215 a 1124; do. do., coupon, 113 a 113j. THE TREASURY PROGRAMME, A Washington despatch states that “Secretary Boutwell will suspend further purchases of bonds should they remain above par in gold.” The object of this announcement is not clearly understood, un- leas it has reference to the '62’s, which are at a pre- minum of 14 & 34 percentin gold. In any view the statement 18 superfluous; for, while there 1s some doubt as to the authority of Mr. Boutwell to pay more than par in currency for bonds, there is none Whutever as to the impropriety of paying mere than thetr par in gold. SOUTHERN SECURITIES STRONG. The intimation made some time since that the State of Missouri was buying bonds for tne Sinking Fund seems borne out by Ihe otherwise inexplicable steady rise in those securities, which again sold to- day at 984%, which was bid for more at the close, with none offered at less than 99, ‘The Tennessces also exhibited increased firmness. The general market was strong, but otherwise duil, the following being the closing street prices for the list:—Tennessee, ex coupon, 72 @ 72%; do, new, 72 @ 7234; Virginia, ex conpon, 663, a 67; do. new, 73 a 73's; do, registered stock, old, 65 & 5534; Georgla sixes, 83 a 87; do. sevens, + $84,747,000 91 ® 92; North Carolina, ex coupon, 45a 46%; do. funding, 1866, 83 @ 35; do. do,, 1463, 30 a do. new, 27 a 2744; QO. special tax, 20 a 20'; Mis- sourt sixes, 984 a 99; do, Hannibal and St. Joseph, 63; & 97; Louisiana sixes, 63 a 70; do. new, 63 & 65; do. levee sixes, 72 a do. eights, 88 a 90; do, Penitentiary sev- ens, 71 @ 73; do. railroad elghts, 73 a 80; Alabama fives, 65 a 70; do, elghts, 99 a 100; do. ratiroad eights, 93 a 95; South Carolina sixes, 75 a 77; do, new, January and July, 583g a 69; do. do.

The stock market was more active as compared with the extreme dulneas of last week, but the amount of business was far from tmportant. Ex- cept in afew instances the changes, which were generally for the better, were, however, slight. Erie attracted most attention asa feature in the fore- noon, and, after advancing to 293,, was abandoned for New York Central, which was quite favorably influenced = by Washington _ tele- grams stating that Comimissioner Pleasonton has been sustained by President Grant in his views of the action to be taken with reference to enforcement of the collection of the tax on the scrip dividend of 1868, One telegram says specif- cally:—‘Caleb Cushing, attorney in the New York Central scrip dividend case, was notified this morn- ing that the whole subject had been referred back to Commissioner Pieasonton for inal adjustment. The Commissioner has been instructed to con- sider the case the same as if no appeal ha beech taken to cretary Boutwell.”’ ja, doubtless, means that General Pieasonton is to proceed in his proposed pian of Investigating the accounts of the company for the purpose of ascer- taining how much of the serip dividend represents earnings of the road since the revenue law went into operation, At least the news had the effect of advancing the stock to 96% and the serip to 9174. ‘The Gold Room, as will have been seen, was induced to belleve the affront to Secretary Boutwell conveyed in tus action of the President would occasion his resignation of the freasury Secretaryship. The other shares supposed to be more or less under the patron- age of the Vanderbilt party were sympathetically strong, Wabash rising to 59%%, Lake Shore to 108%, Western Unton to 58% and Ohio and Mississippi to 44°; Meantime the recent decline in the mortgages of the Union Pactfic Ratiroad began to be felt in the shares of the company, the price of which went off to 28%. Pittsburg underwent a spasmodic rise to 120!; and Pacific Mat! lost some of its late firm- ness, Elsewhere the market presented litle of interest and flactuations were unimportant, The books of the Mlinois Central and the Cleveland, Columbus, Cinctunath and Indianapolis Railroad companies have closed for the semi-annual divt- dend, which in the former case ts 5 per cent (cur- rency this time) and in the latter 33 per cent, The warm weather exckes a general desire for an ex- change of the present quarters of the Stock Board for the more commodious apartment now in course of preparation, but which will hardly be ready for occupancy before the 15th of August.

The Prince of Wales, supported by Prince Arthae and the Duke of Cambridge and by other distin- guished persons, presided at the annua festival dine ner of the Royal Caledonian Asylum, which took place at the Freemasons’ Tavern, London, The Prince of Wales, in proposing ‘The Army, Navy and Reserve Forces," sald:—“Lam sure that every Englishman and every Scotchman, being proud of our army, navy and reserve forces, will duly honor this toast. Much been said lately respecting Changes that are to be made tn the army of this country, Now, Whatever the nature of those changes may be let us trust that, at any rate, they wilt be conducive to the good of the army and to the safety of the country. Much has aso been said, [dare say, about the subject of a certain publication, whieh, doubtless, everybody in this room has seen— Timean ‘the Battle ot Dorking.’ The only remark I will venture to make is that LI sincerely trust that the prophecy to which that publication gives ex- pression will never be realized, Still there was an object ln writing that litle book, that object being to give a broad hint to all of that we must nov be found napping, and I believe {{ we will but take that hint and give to our defensive forces the atten- tion they deserve, the prophecy will never be realized. 1 bave great pleasure io proposin; this toast, and in coupling the first brane of it with the name of my filustrious rela- tive, the Commauader-in-Chief. I have much pleasure tn coupling with the navy the name of 40 gallant an officer as Admiral Str Alexander Milne, and in coupling with the reserve forces the name ol Colonel Loyd-Lindsay, Who has given so much ate tention to the voinnteer movement, and who, we must not forget, took sv active a part tn promoting the fund for the relief of tne sick and wounded tn the tate war." The Duke of Cambridge, in responding, remarked that he had had the houor for many years of having been, under the favor of his sovereign, and he trusted with the confidence of the country, at the head of the noble profession with whitch all his It had been so intimately associated. He cordially echoed the wish which had been pressed by his Royal Highness, the chairman, tnat the future of the army might be such ag to do honor to the country and cred to itself. In its past history the army had always deserved the good opinion of the country, and m spite of the experience of recent events abroad he must express his belief that our army was equal to we performance of any duties it could be called upon to discharge, and that the ‘attic of Dorking,’® if ever it should have to be fought, would have an issue far different from that which its pleasané author had predict it would, indeed, be greatly to be deplored if ever the time shontd come when the people of England were unable to defend their hearths and their homes from the insults of a for- eign foe. CAUTION TO TRAVELLERS.

AS JRIBER, Care May, N. J., July 15, 1871. Another Caution to Travellers. The public are warned to exercise great care when having to make use of tue local express compantes for the delivery of baggage at the railroad stations and tothe steamboats leaving the city. On Friday morning, Jaly 7, a servanc of Mr. James Brown, who resides at No. 38 Kast Thirty-seventh street, sentto Dodd's Express office, » 244 Broadway, and paid to nave a tronk taken from Mr. Brown's residence and delivered to the Newport line of steamers In thls city, the person Informing the agent at the same time that the trunk would be ready for delivery at twelve o'clock noon, At twelve o'clock on Saturday & man, with what was supposed to be an express Wagon, called and asked if the trunk was ready, and, supposing him to be the proper person, tt was given to him without questionlug. About an hour afterwards nother: man with « wagon called and asked for the trunk, This excited the suspicions of the person at the door who delivered the trunk tothe other party, and ne went out and found the wagon to be marked “Dodd's Express.’ The woman, on going to the boat in the afternoon, found that her trunk had noe been delivered, and returned home, Upon maki inquiries at Dodd’s Express ofice it was found that across the entry In the book noting the payment, &c., Was written “Trunk taken away by another ex. press company.’’ Inquiry has been made at all the express offices in the city, the wagon of some one of have called by mistake and have the trunk, but no trace of It could be found. The trunk ts an ordinary black one, with the initials “J, A. J.”” painted In white on the end, and ‘Julla Johnson, Newport,” written on a card and nailed ‘on the top. Itis eee that the thief was standing tn 4 a tothe the address express ofice at the time the order was agent to send for the trunk and heard and the time when it would be ready. Knowl that the company would not be likely to send for the moment, named he was there himself. On in- Wiring at the Twenty-ninth precinct it was stated that there was not one chance in a hundred that the trank would be recovered; that similar Cases were of frequent occurrence, &c, TORNADO IN NEW JERSEY. VINELAND, N. J., July 17, 187L. A fearful tornado, accompanied with thander, lightning and heavy rain, struck this town last evening. The loss of property of all kinds ts very severe. Roofs of houses, trees and fences were de- stroyed. ‘The most serious losses are the destruction of the Episcopal church, two rallway depots and two Ry houses, The 1033 of the church, of which Rey.
