setting, at Booth’s, has become | the leading topic in theatrical circles. “The Black Crook” will be replaced at Niblo’s in the spring by Mra. John Wood and her merry followers. Mr. Fechter is making progress with his new theatre on Fourteenth street, which will be known as the Lyceum. It will ‘be one of the handsomest temples ever erected to the drama in this city. Rumors are rife as to the building of new theatres in the upper part of Broadway. Certainly an amusement public have increased largely within the past few years, and even twenty theatres are insuf- ‘cient to accommodate all demands, Our Religious Press Table. There is absolutely no noteworthy feature ‘this week in the columns of our religious ‘contemporaries—that is to say, nothing out- side of the peculiar sectarian dogmas advo- cated by each. The Observer touches on “Theology Run Mad,” and treats of the newly published book of Theophilus Parsons, of the Law School of Harvard. The Observer epitomises as well as criticises Parsons’ ‘work, and it almost brings to our ears the genial intonations of the once great, but eccentric, theologian of Massachusetts, the late Theodore Parker, when it says :— He (the later Parsons) begins by assuming that God 1s and always was, and then ne asserts that matter was created by the creating God, of or from— ‘thats, out of nimseli—his own substance, a theory of Creation which fe takes to be much more rational than that of creation out of nothing, which he ‘considers absurd. He does not undertake to show wherein it 18 more rational to hold that matter is made out of spirit than out of Hothing. He is careful to say that matter ts not God, as Pantneism would imply; but everythin, Deing an emanation trom the Infinite, 1s pervade ‘with the divine. Man was made at the head of all finite things on this planet, and bemg endowed ‘with @ soul proceeding direct om the substance of the Ureator is immortal His sensational nature 4s au effluence of the divine nature. Mr. Parsons ‘Das aiso learned—and this 18 the most interestin: of all tus discoverles—that heat in the natur ‘World ts the form in which divine love works in the @ature of man. If heat accomplishes such wonders in regard ‘Hone of our devout aintiers go to Tophet at once and receive the benefit of the intensified atmosphere of that locality? The fact is, Boston Puritanical theologisms have well nigh been run intothe ground. Unitarianism under teachings of the Rev. Dr. Qrville Dewey was the eulogism of independent sectarianism. We mean by this to say that in former years every religious matter bearing the Unitarian stamp dn Massachusetts was eulogized by such elo- quent orators as Alexander Everett, Dewey, Parker and a host of Harvard graduates, and that other sects stood a very poor show when Unitarianism was upon the religious ‘warpath. Recently the current of this religious stream seems to have changed. Orthodoxy looms up. Hepworth recants and kicks Unitarianism to the dogs. Hepworth may be right or he may be wrong. That is none of our business. He may prefer swill milk to gin and milk, like Brother Smyth; but orthodoxy has become the sheet anchor of faith, and those who do not cling to it are in danger of sinking to the depths of perdi- tion. Mr. Parsons’ work will probably be well studied. If it produces any new light apon Puritauical theology, or exposes any of its vagaries and shallowness, his labors may aot be without their reward. The Methodist thinks that the treatment of Mr. Hepworth by his former associates of the Unitarian faith has been marked by unusual asperity. Continues the Methodist :— He (Hepworth) himself says that as he 1eit his old spiritual home the “door was slammed benind dim.” But tais does not tell the whole story. As he has receaed trom his friends that were they have ‘cast not a iew stones at him. ‘the Rev, We Fr Clarke, of Unity chapel, professes to be glad that Hepworth 1s gone:— He has contributed nothing to our creed—no sermon of parked Abulty, no new Ideas, | Ho bas stolen, other men's jougbis; taking care, however, shoug! “Fi boning ‘to change the and Even Dr. Bellows loses his habitual equanimity, and peits the deserter from the liberal ranks:— With bis popular gifts and his external attractions he had Deen steadily demoralizing the standard of the Unitarian ministry and preaching. by a sensational, unscholarly style ‘Of self-exhivition, an appeal to a wishy-washy sentimentality and to vulgar prejudices; abusing a culture he did not possess; speaking lightly of theological sclence, any know!- ‘Sage of which he honestly disclaimed, and using popular jodox phrases in a delusive and confusing way. “He th,” Dr. Beil bes ina pulpit.” says Dr. Bellows, “was a great boy acting in All this greatly surprises us. We had supposed ‘that the odiu:; (heologicum was unknown mong the Christiaus who quite complacently call them. Wuen the Collyers and the Gonway: forsake Methodism we do feel fretted, but we try to it them go their Way in peace. The Methodist also asks this question— “What shall be done with our Judges?” The ‘answer is plain to ordinary comprebensions; keep the good ones in and, as Shakspeare makes Christopher Sly say, let the poor one’s “glide.” The Bancroft-Kirkland scholar- ships, whereby Harvard protessors can travel in Europe upon ecclesiastical and scientific tours, is favorably commented upon by the Methodist. The Independent discourses on ‘Congre- gational Creedlessness.” We cite :— Quite a pretty Little discussion is arising amon; our Congregational brethren over the pres come Struction to ve put on that clause in the constitu tion adopted vy the Oberlin National Council, in which they give, or fail to give, their doctrinal longitude aud latitude.

While considerably more tolerant of doctrinal divergences tnan they were sixty years ago, they are cousidera- biy more oemonstrative in their denominationat preferences (an they then were, ana witn neither element oi chunge would we quarrel. The Zubiet (Catholic organ) emphasizes these remarks :— The britisi government, wise by experier knows weil ‘at no movement of @ public or pout. cal character can possibly succeed in Ireland with- Out the sanction or co-operation of the clergy. The Freeman's Journal (Catholic) puts on the mask of the ‘Knight of Surrowful Coun- tenance” aad gives us a very readable his- torical chapter upon the “sorrowful aspects of human society.” Certainly the sad state of the times, the present triumphant march of violence and outrage, warrant «n article upon this topic. After a couple of columns of dark misgivings the Journal awakens to a more pleasant view of the situation, like a rainbow after a storm, and concludes:— Sombre and discouraging aa are the external sigus of this wicked world, we can learn to be cheerful aud to look with gladness on events as they pass. We must sorrow at the miseries that Surround us, but, if Faith ts our guide, we Will always see the eternal sunshine beyond.

The vangelist, the Golden Age, the Christian Intelligencer, the Boston Pilot, the Church Journal, the Jewish Messenger, the Liberal Christian, the Catholic Mirror, the New Jerusalem Messenger and the many others that weekly hold a conference banquet upon our religious press table furnish evidence that, as their columns advance in intelligence and ability and enterprise, the good work of religious progress still goes on. The Gas Monopolies a the City Rail. road Companies—Reforms Necessary. The New York Logislature met this year amid the expectations of the people that it would “sweep clean ;” but up to the present we have been treated only toa great many flourishes of the “‘new broom.” Outside of the purification of our city government there are hosts of bad and rotten corporations, the legitimate offspring of the corruption of Tam- many in its worst days, which need to be re- formed, if not abolished. The gas monopolies are among the very worst of these enomies of the public weal, which were allowed to swindle the people by paying a percentage of their dis- honest profits tothe venal “‘rings” till lately in power. In vain the citizens appealed against the injustice, A wretched article of gas at exorbitant rates was bad enough, but that our citizens should be swindled by being forced to pay for quanti- ties of the miserable illuminator they had not consumed made the matter still worse. Asit was BO monopoly there was no | pat a ‘ie outraged indiviaaal. “Any complaint OF thd quality supplied was laughed at, and any remonstrance against overchar-e for quantity met with the surly threat to cut off the supply unless the bill was promptly paid. Cases have been known where bills were presented for many thousand feet of gas when not a burner had been used. The dif- ference between this and picking pockets is not so very great, yet the companies are rich, and believe themselves strong enough to buy off all opposition as of yore. We shall see, A bill to protect gas consumers against this sys- tem of robbery has been drawn up carefully, we are informed, and the citizens will look anxiously for its appearance. Let the Legis- lator who is about to do this good work keep his light under a bushel no longer. The ses- sion is wasting, and the friends of reform must remember that time fights on the side of the monopolies. At a meeting held in this city on Friday night a petition was drawn up praying the Legislature to change the present private monopoly into a State monopoly. If the purity and cheapness of the gas to be sup- plied from such a course were in ratio to the purity and price of our legislators there is small hope of reform in that direction. We want, on the contrary, a healthy competition whereby the public would have a resource against the impudent exactions of monopolists private or public. Another nuisance that sadly needs abating is the arrogance of the city railroad corpora- tions. Without exception they turn a deaf ear to the too well-grounded complaints of those who are obliged to travel by their lines, The abominable filth of the cars, nests and nurseries of disease as they are, is something that needs looking after. Utterly careless of the comfort or convenience of the travelling public, they have the unparalleled imperti- nence to come before the Legislature asking additional privileges, while their part of the contract with the people remains so unfulfilled. The Third Avenue Railroad asks leave to run more palace cars on its line, and is kind enough to say that it will run sufficient of the “ordinary” cars to meet ‘“‘public convenience.” With their idea of ‘‘public convenience” and “ordinary” cars this is certainly a cool propo- sition. It can be very clearly seen that if this privilege be extended to them under these very elastic conditions they will take care to make the “‘ordinary” cars so thoroughly intolerable that none but those actually compelled by narrowness of means can travel except in their ‘‘palace cars,” while the vermin-eaten passengers on the “ordinary” cattle pens will become objects of pity to the community. They have the auda- city to ask for leave to run palace cars, while “‘ordinary cars,” eighteen years old, with decayed timbers, jingling bolts, greasy panels, and filthy, living cushions, are our samples of what they know about “‘public convenience.” The Second, Sixth, Sev- enth and Eighth avenues, ‘Cross Town, South Side and Belt lines are masses of moving filth, and it is possible that they, too, will apply for palace car privileges, with the dirt and rotten- ness of their ‘strings of second hand coffins” as an excuse. There is no provision made anywhere against overcrowding. It is very probable, indeed, that the highly ingenious directors may make the crowded condition of the carson their line an extra reason for the granting of leave to run palace cars for the privileged, whereas it is a reason exactly to the contrary. Reformers who can see how Injuriously this bold job, if successfal, would operate against the poor and the middling rich of the community, who cannot afford fancy prices for railroad travelling, should defeat the bill, which is a fraud on the people. The providing of sufficient cars, keeping them clean, preventing their overcrowding and run- ning them on time are things to which the best of our city lines are strangers, while the Third avenue is the worst. A law should be passed compelling cleanliness, preventing overcrowding and providing sufficiency of accommodation on the car lines, and when these requirements are fulfilled it will be time enough to think of asking favors. The Board of Health at a late meeting received an opinion from their counsel that they possessed full jurisdiction over all conveyances used for public travel, and could: order any changes necessary for the public health. They should look to this promptly, and let our Solons at Albany see that “public convenience” be attended to ina different manner to the way the companies construe it.

Owing to the well known aversion of the Duke to speeches the formal reception, as originally laid down in the programme, was omitted. The dancing commenced at eleven o'clock, and was continued until three o'clock. The ball room was handsomely festooned with Russian and American flags. Over the main door was inscribed ‘Russia and America,” while above the main chandelier was a circle of gas jets forming the words ‘Welcome, Alexis,” The royal party seemed to enjoy themselves exceedingly, and after the pall returned to their quarters at Peabody Hotel, where they will remain until Tuesday next awaiting the steamer Great Republic.

Christians have ever turned with love and veneration to the scene of the Saviour’s passion, and the desire to become better acquainted with a spot hallowed by the blood of a God dying for the salvation of mankind has ever been a@ widespread aspiration in the Uhriatian world. Nor 18 this interest confined to the Chrts- tian sects, if they look upon Jerusalem as the cradle of their faith, the Jews scattered among the nations of the earth look back with sorrowful pride to the time when the city was tne glory of tne chosen people of God. Whether we regard it historically or religiously, we cannot fail to be deepiy interested inall that pertains to its past and present, It is impossible to forget that from this cradle have sprung forms of belief and institutions that seem to defy time. Nations, languages and religions have come ana gone since the Jewisn priests offered up SACRIFICES TO THE LIVING GOD. The temples of Greek and Roman are crumbled in the dust, or stand in magnificent rum to bear witness to past glory; but the Hevrew faith stil! exists in spite of persecution and the scattering of the nation. From the same soil has risen the Christian faith which alone will outlive the parent religion. Here have transpired all the incidents connected with the great work of the Redemption of man, and we naturally desire to know more about a city which has experienced so signally the favor and the vengeance of God, It was no light undertaking to endeavor to pre- sent an authentic picture of Jerusalem in her grandeur, to resuscitate her glories and build up, by patient and laborious research, that city which the Roman agent of Divine Providence razed until there was not left ‘one stone upon another.’? Fortunately the materials for such a reconstruction, in all essential particulars, had been preserved in various ancient works of aathority, and with THE NEW JERUSALEM as a basis, the lilstory of Josephus, and such light asthe excellent survey of Jerusalem by the Eng- lish enginogrg gould throw on the anmant to- years of labor, pro- | Toyraphy, the artist, aiver @ucet > ete ne Yarncalem as lt ea Aa a UE ey ney éxisted in “tue time of tié Saviour, which shows us Vividly all the main points of interest. From the Mount of Olives we look down and vehold the city lying beneath in all its splendor, At tho base the Valley of Jehoshaphat is spanned by the Red Heifer Bridge, and just beyond the walls rises the Temple, with its clolsters aud courts, carefully and elaborately painted. The minuteness with which even the ornamentation of tne building 43 reproduced is absolutely marvellous. On te right the principal buildings which strike us are the Grand Theatre, Herod’s Amphitheatre and Strato'’s ‘Tower. In the distance Herod's Palace, a noble pile, and the towers Hippicus, Phasielus and Mari- amme. On the lett the Aqueduct, skirting the Field of Blood, is lost in the principal baths of the upper city. The Palace of Cataphas, the Tower of David and the Keep of Antonia are some of the other im. portant monuments, Indeed, tu whu: ver direction we turn some object of DEEP HISTORICAL INTEREST or striking beauty meets the eye, and the more closely we examine the work the more we are struck with the wonderful research and patient labor of the artist. Nor ta the merit of the work by wny means confined (o evidences of pains-taking labor. The magnificent city has been placed ina landscape and made the ceatre of what 1s essen- ually a historic picture. in the foreground the artist has introduced the triumphal procession of Christ, and worned in @ number of subsidiary groups that suggest the story of His betrayal and doom with considerable force. Tue management 1 these groups and their subordination to the cen- tral taea is @ triumph of composition; but we do not purpose in this article to enter at any length tuto the consideration of the technical execution of the work, which we reserve for another time, The companion work, “JERUSALEM IN HER FALL,'? is scarcely less teresting; and though the giories have lorever departed, there 13 something so sacred in the ruins that the majority of people will dwell on this picture of the present with more pleasure _ on the picture of the city which has vanished forever. Here we also look down from the Mount of Olives; but the soene has changed. In the foreground wo see groups of traveliera and their Arab guides, with here and there some Turkish soldiers. Temple has Sieaepearee but on its site rises the Mosque of Omar. Mostof the anctent landmarks have disap- peared or been converted to the use of the followers of Mohammed. The locality alone has not changed and the ruin and decay seem to lend an increased charm to the scene of the Saviour’s passion. In all that constitutes an eifective composition tis picture is richer than its companion. There is something mournfully picturesque in the crumb- ling wali and the desert waste which surrounds the city. Our senuments accord with the ar of quiet gloom of the evening shadows which are stealing over the landscape. Even the sun goes dowa with SUBDUED SPLENDOR, and there is evidence everywhere of a feeling of Oppression, a8 if the memory of the great crime commitied ages 0 still hung around the piace and ti life with an air of sadness. These re- markavie works have been brought to this country by Mr. Derby, and will soon be placed on public ex- hibition, In @ {future notice we snail enter more minutely into their technical hundiing.
