barometer is only an inch higher that ¥3ul, | is like the rolling of a car weighing fifty thousand tons over the earth’s crust, it seems indisputable that the aerial occan and the ocean of internal fire are equally associated in causing the earthquake, and, by consequence, in necessitating the voleanic outburst. We cannot observe the hidden fire, but we can observe and are observing the great atmos- pherie phenomena ; and it is no idle hope, but a strong conviction of scientific men, that we shall soon discover the facis upon which we are now waiting for the prevision of these great disturbances, Of this we shall speak hereafter. The Inspirations of the Pulpits. Tho delightful spring weather of yesterday invited the people to gather in the Lord's house, and multitudes accepted the invitation and were found in their places during the hours of service, albeit they may have paraded the avenue or enjoyed the clear sky and the pure air and the warblings of the feathered songsters of the Central Park between times. Yesterday was the twenty-fourth anniversary of Dr. Chapin’s pastorate of the Church of the Divine Paternity, and he indulged in a restatement of some of the doctrines of the Universalist denomination and a brief history of the organization of the Church and of his own connection with it. His theme of dis- ‘course principally was the unily of God, which he illustrated by the unity of nature, where everything centralizes in the idea of unity. The great evidence of Christianity to-day, he declared, is its moral evidence—its mani- | festation of God's paternal love in Jesus Christ. Take this away and wo have but a Christianity of eternal vengesnce—a fearful thing. The principle of parental justico, he contended, is utterly hostile to the idea of eternal torture. Mr.-Carpenter, of Boston, demonstrated to his Unitarian audience, in the Church of the Messiah, the necessity for and the relation of reason to religion. Without Teason religion is an infant crying in the dark. Hence we are to embrace the religion that ap- peals to our reason to-day. Weakness and inanity will result when reason is separated from religion. But, on the other hand, reason needs religion too, for without it reason is a desert where the choicest flowers never grow. The sight of the rose is reason ; tho fragrance is religion. The Rev. J. W. McKay, fraternal delegate from the Ivish Wesleyan Conference to the neral Conference of tho Methodist Episcopal Church in tho United States, preached a plain | but thoroughly pious sermon, the relation of Christ's death to the life of the Church. As the death of the corn of wheat in the ground | is a prerequisite to the organization and growth and fruitage of the succeeding crops, even so was Ohrist’s death necessary to give form and lifo and power to Christianity. Tho Italian patriot preacher, Gavazzi, yes- terday pleaded the cause of his mission to this country—the establishment of a free evangel- ical Christianity in Italy—before Mr. Hep- worth's congregation, in Steinway Hall. He brought the same fervid eloquence to bear upon the people that was manifested in his earlier ministry, and received the hearty ap- plause of his hearers as he sketched the growth of Protestantism in Italy from 1848, when there | was not ove evangelical church member to be | found in that land, to the present time, when there are one hundred congreyations, ten thou- sand communicants and thirty thousand con- stant hearers to be found in their Christian temples every Sabbath day. He expects that in 1880 there will bo three hundred congrega- tions in the sunny land. The Froese Church of Italy starts ont in the true path in ignoring the isms which have so long divided Christen- dom, and in determining to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified, as the great mis- sionary to the Romans, Paul, declared eighteen centuries ago he was determined to know. There is so much sorrow and suffering in the world, and people are so universally inclined to look at them as a curse, and not a blessing, it becomes necessary for the minister of Christ at timos to remind his flock that there is moro sunshine than shade, more joy than sorrow, more beauty than ugliness, in the world, and that more of the former than of tho latter fall to our lot. This was the sacred duty which Rev. Father Kane performed yesterday toward tho worshipping congregation in St. Patrick's Cathedral, and we hope that many were led to , with the reverend gentleman, that God does everything for the best, and that the language of many hearts who may be called during the present week to pass under the rod | will be, ‘“Thy will, O Lord, not mine, be done.’’ In St. Alphonsus’ church Father “Tom” | Burke addressed the Irish socicties assembled | there to participate in the ceremony of blessing | the beautiful banner presented by the nuns of Kenmaro, Ireland, to St. Pairick’s Mutual Alliance of this city. In the same church and at the same hour Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, administered the rite of confirma- tion to four hundred young persons. Mr. Beecher reset one of his old diamonds | in a new setting yesterday. Life is a conflict, | and suffering and reverses in business are | necessary to enable some men to get to heaven. | In this conflict of life ali men do not start equal, nor is the responsibility of all men | equal, But God wants every man to do the | duty that lies nearest to him in whatever | position he may be placed. Next Sunday Mr. | Beecher will receive into his fuld one hundred | and twenty-five new members. Last evening | he dedi ted another Bethel mission of his | church ina thickly populated and neglected | part of the city of Brooklyn. Rev. J. Hyatt Smith sent the Lee avenue Baptists out into | | | | nature to learn from the plinet and the trees how to be perfect and how to abide in Christ. As well might one go to the family record, he declared, to see if he was born as go to the | church record to learn whether he was con- verted or not. ‘Lhe Spirit itself beareth wit- | ness with our spirit that we are the children of God." Father Pollard, on the duty and obligation | of restitution, uttered some plain words against our corrupt legislators and perjured politicians | to his Catholic congregation in St. Peter's | church, Irooklyn, And in St. Peter's church, | Jersoy City, Father Beaudevin demonstrated the necessity for good works as well as good professions in religion, and warned his con- gregation that a day will come when they shall seok God, but shall not find Him, if they negloct His salvation now, The open Sebastopol as & Military and commercial russian government hag determined to re- | NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, SPAIN. “we, Herald Special Report from Madrid. ° ee Fifteen Thousand Carlists in Arms and Maay Skirmishes with the King’s Troops.

Mr. Bancroft Davis, Assistant Secretary of State of the United States, in a conversation on the subject of the Alabama claims and the American case and demand before the Geneva Arbiiration Court, expressed the opinion, in the presence of Prince Bismarck and Mr. Odo Russell, the British Minister, that the claim for consequential damages will not be with- drawn by the Washington government.

The reply of Mr. Fish to Karl note is not expected to arrive in London before Tuesday.
