THE. HEPWORTH DEPARTURE, Preliminary Meetiog tor Organizing the New Beclety—The Broad Chareb and the Narrow Cherch Sh:ke Hauds. Quite a large number of ladies and gent.cmen met last evening at Association Hall, by request of the Rev. Mr. Hepworth, to-take the preliminary steps for the organization of a new church. Mr. Bepworth opened she meeting by saying that be- tween tho top crust.and the bottom is the best part ef the pudding. YouandI belong just here, and there is anything thac we want it isa church where we can go and feel perfectly at home, Tho rick man wants also a place where ho can _ Jom the real, true, “universal Church of Ohrtst. Now, L don’t want to tear down a singice stone of any church in the city of New York, 1do want to baild another church—one so large that the pews will beso cheap tha: the poorest man can some, You ask me concerning its theology. In that @buroh J shall have my theology and you shall have ona Ishall not ask if you are an Episcopalian, it I shall ask Christian, and you are not, try to knead re over and make you one, I shall only ask you you lit the cress of the dear Lord Jesus above your heads. Of course when the right time comes articles of faith will be drawn up as broad as the New ‘Tesiament, and no broader. We believe in the Fatherhood of God and the mediative power of Onrist, and we know by sad experience that we are faiien. In one word, the Bible will be the be- and the end of our creed, and Christ shall the dag under which we fight. Lask you then to-night, such of you as are willing to join such a sburch, ‘to GIVE ME YOUR NAMES, _ I want to beg as a special favor the young men ‘who do not belong to any church to come and hel, ws and let us help them.

It 1s nd small work, aud the only ob- wo have in liftiug another spire to heaven 13 another finger may point to the stars as an in- spiration to still nobler and braver etiorts, Mr. Hepworth then read a few lines from @ sort @f confession of faitn that be had drawn up, to this effect:—"Woe believe that the time has come when differences in opinion are to be regarded as or little Amporiance; that the pure in heart shail yet see God, that a church should be built weicoming all in @ truly unsectarian spirit.. This church should be Songrogational in its methods and self-governing ‘unger Unrigt,”’ ‘The Rev.

Before they’ attempted to enter the building the theives nad cu! through the wall of the bank and had ail the pre- parations made to put atelegraph through that! Was to serve as &@ monitor to the men while they were getting possession uf the property in the building. Itis supposed by the police that the theives entered the bank tM ON SUNDAY MORNING , at about four o’clock, aud commeaced onerations’ at the door leading into the vault, Pour of thé number went on tis expedition and the fifth was lett behind to waten the street and give the alarm in case of any accident or interruption from the outside, This man who was left behind in the front window that commanded @ view of the street. By this means he could plainly see any one coming! in the direction of the bank, aad was’ able at once; to signal his confrcves ab work tu the building o: the approach of any, dangerous persons. Of course the first thing done on gainmg the inside of the Dak was to settle tie means by which this tele~ graphic communication was to be kept up, The hole, that had only been PARTIALLY CUT THROUGH THE WALY, was fully opened, the wire psssed through and & small bell tied tothe end of it, and huog just over the head of the principal “opener.” The oiner erd of this telegraph wire the lookout held in his hand, and by a previously concerted signal he was able to stop the work at will and again set it going. Captain Irving says What bis impression Is, from what the Trenton police tell him about the appear- ance of the piace and the various Implements left behind by the thieves, that they must have beer interrupted several Umes while they were trying to break open the door of tbe vault. While two of the men were ‘working’ at the door two others were opening the private boxes inthe bank and securing the cortents. ‘The thieves got into the building by the rear entrance, and then settled the door 1p such a manner that at the least alarm of danger from the street side THEY COULD SAFELY ESOAPE by that way. As the affair finally turned out, this ‘was tite very Way by Which the burglars got olf. AG about halt-past nine o'clock on Suaday morning one of the watchmen who was to remain on duty | during the day came towards the bank, His approach was duly telegraphed to the men worktnt imside. ‘they stopped thelr “labors, | and When the watehman, Mr, Sween, was mounting the steps another signal told them Wao ana what be | was. Kaowing pericctly well that to deny this man entrance to the bank would be to alarm tie town and completely deteat the object they nad in coming to the piace, Mr. Sweem was quietly permitted to open the several doors and gev into the place. He was no sooner wittin the threshold, however, than he was suddenis seized, gagged ana tied ana thrust into @ chair, entirely unable vo interrupt the work that was gomg forward, The second watchman of the place made his appearance some time later than | Mr. Sween. This was COMMUNICATED TO THR THIEVES in the same manner as the arrival of Mr. Sween; but one of the party, more impetuous than the rest, Jumped at him with a pistol too soon, ana the noise of the scuitie was heard by a lady who was coming down tue street, The thier had attacked Mr. Bayles almost at hig entrance to tie bank, anu that gentle- | man made such a desperate fignt to regain his libe erty that the noise reached the ears of the lady com- ing towards the bank. She gave an alarm and @ policeman at once RUSHED TO THE BANK, ; only to find, however, that the burglars had es. caped, carrying with’ them about one hundred thousand dollars worth of United States and other bonds belonging to depositors. ‘The policeman then went to the ning house, and arr.ved just im tume to grapple the last escaping thief. A terrifia struggle ensued; but the thief, who was fighting for nis liberty, was better prepared to meet tne polloe-, man thao the poltceman was to encounter such a desperate antagonist, and the thief fnally got away from him, escaping through the rear window down the gardens at the pack and through the flelds INTO THE WOODS, where he was lost, as well as his com. panions, ‘Tne most curlous rt of tie robbery is that none of the people in the town have yet been abie to give ths police @ de- scription of the thieves One of the policemen who came to New York yesterday described one of the men as being a tail. powerful man, with a bald head but that waa all the description of the tnief he cou. give. Capiain Irving, however, 18 certain he knows who the thieves are, or at least the principals, for he has missed SOME CLEVER ARTISTS in that line from the city lor some weeks past, His ts that the thieves had horses aud Wagons waiting to carry off the plunder close to the bank, in the rear of the fields through which they got off, and that Uney escaped in these wagons tosome railway station, where they look tue train to Philadelphia. Why they siouid select Phiiadel- phia 1s a point the Captatu does not care to give to the police just at present, but that he nas some foundation for the supposition may be inferred from the fact that he sent two of the most experienced detectives in tue ofMice to that city to look after @ number of gentiemen (?) Whose likenesses whey carry in their pockets, It was an EXTREMELY FORTUNATE thing for the depositors in the bank that the lady interrupted tue work going on while sne was on ner way to church; for, uf the thieves had veen aole to go on for an hour longer, they would have carried Off at Jeast multon of money, or securities equal to that amount, The fete say the entire piannini and carrying out of the affair 18 one of the cleveres! they have knowa for # long time. By later informa- tion it has been ascertained that six men were ENGAGED IN THE ROBBERY, and several of the townspeople have come for- ward to say they can identify three of them; but this seems scarcely possible, as thieves of that class woula not be likely to give any one @ chance to Identify them 80 easily if it could avonied. The most plausible supposition is that the three men who first went to Trenton and played the role of the Chicago ‘‘suiterers” were merely preparers, and left the city the night the real actors arrived to per- form the “job.” ‘This, however, the good people of Trenton would not be likely to see; but the New York detectives are men who weigh things to a nicety before they give an opinion, and when they act they usually go upon a pretty sure foundation, The Losacs Ascertained.
