‘Church of the Transfiguration was the ordina- tion of ten deacons and one priest, and a very practical address to the novitiates by one of ‘the bishops present. Yesterday being SS. Peter and Paul’s day was duly celebrated in the Oatholic churches, and remarks appro- priate to the occasion were made by Father Kean in St. Patrick's Cathedral. The heat ‘and 9 prolonged service in St. Stephen's church ‘prevented a sermon being preached there. Dr. John Hall preached as usual a very simple and ‘practical sermon last night in Carmel chapel, Bowery—a mission just opened there. His ‘text was the warning of Joshua and Moses to Israel to prepare to meet their God. The Doc- tor pointed out the difference between God meoting us and we meeting God and the time -and occasions of such meetings. He then ap- plied the practical part of the text to his audienco—namely, the preparations for meeting God, first and chief of which is faith in the blood of Jesus Obrist, which cleanseth us from all sin. Mr. Beecher was inclined to be very practi- cal yesterday, and he entertained his congrega- tion with a sermon on cheerfulness and charita- bloness and a peaceful disposition. There is, perhaps, more need of such advice as he gave his people at this time than at any other, be- cause when Christian people get away from home and church life and throw off the re- straints that bind them here they or their quasi friends are apt to be hypercritical, and, per- haps, sometimes unconsciously to themselves, to set afloat tales and slanders that grow and magnify with every repetition until that which was, perhaps, in itself innocent, becomes a crime against the Church and against society. Hence it was in this local and limited sense that Mr. Beecher applied St. Paul’s words to the Romans—‘‘If it be possible live peaceably with all men.’’ Talebearers and slanderers were characterized by him as the Devil's post- men, and he urged his hearers if they knew or heard anything wrong about anybody not to circulate it, but to keep it to themselves until necessity compelled them to reveal it. More injury to personal and Christian character oftentimes comes from fashionable summer gossip than from malicious intent to injure, and hence the beginnings of ‘strife should be guarded against. The Rev. Dr. Partridge, of Obrist church, Brooklyn, pointed out some of the reasons why the great and the noble and the learned of our cities do not enter the front ranks and lead the way in moral reform. They love morality and respect religion, but they cannot look within themselves nor allow the Gospel to regulate their inner lives. They are hindered, too, from secking this leadership by the incon sistent lives of leading professors, and by the absence of joy and cheerfulness, which should always accompany a profession of faith in Christ. But many Christians talk and act as if religion was a burden and a task instead of being a life of joy and peace in the soul, perpetually renewed and brightened by the hope and the promise of that which is to be re- vealed, but which hath not yet entered the heart of man to conceive. Christ’s followers, the Doctor declared, had nothing to do with the wilderness and the darkness except to make the one bud and blossom as the rose, and make the other radiant with the light of God's coun- tenance, The Rev. Dr. Wild, late of Canada, preached yesterday to his new charge, Seventh avenue Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn. Man, he showed, is a progressive creature, and the only thing that can meet his wants is Chris- tianity, whose course in the human heart is one of steady and gradual unfolding and de- velopment until we stand perfect in Christ Jesus. The sermon had many practical and useful suggestions in it, which we commend to our readers. Tho country pulpit is ably represented in our columns to-day by Rev. E. E. Ledyard, of Rondout, N. Y., whose discourse on steward- ship we especially commend to the misers and millionnaires of New York who hoard up riches as if God gave them wealth for the sole pur- pose of self-gratification and not to be used by them as His stewards.

The following special despatch to the Hzrarp has been received from our correspondent in | Geneva: — Genzva, June 30, 1872. The members of the Court of Arbitration commissioned for the settlement of the Ala- bama claims between the governments of the United States and Great Britain, having solemnly ruled the American case for compen- sation for indirect damages out of Court, previous to the temporary adjournment of the tribunal on Friday, June 28, the prominent and important question of their modo of treat- ment of the demands for payment of direct damages after the reassemblage of the arbi- trators on Monday, July 15, remains. PROBABLE COURSE OF THE INVESTIGATION-—THE QUESTION OF LIABILITY OF EACH CRUISER. The mode of proceedings with reference to direct claims is, so far, uncertain ; but it seems probable, judging by what I can learn from welLinformed sources, that the Court will consider, serialim, the character of the Confederate cruisers, each case separately, and, according as they determine that character, adjudge England responsible or not respon- sible for the depredations committed by one or all of these ships. MODE OF AWARD ON THE DIRECT DAMAGES BILLS. The character of the ship having been thas determined, and the fact of her having com- mitted depredations accepted, the arbitrators will next consider the matter of an award of damages. On this point the members of the Court will probably confer freely with the counsel by the two governments in conducting the proceed- ings before the judiciary. Should the views of the gentlemen learned in the law not differ too widely in thoir estimates for and against an equitable total, the Court may name a gross amount of money, striking a mean between the national calculations, to be tendered and accepted in full discharge of the claim. RIGHT OF REFERENCE TO THE ASSESSORS, If there is no hope of reconciling the con- flicting estimates summarily the arbitrators will refer the subject of award generally to the consideration of the assessors provided by the Treaty of Washington, and so conclude their own labors in bebalf of a settlement of the difficulty. THE SAN JUAN BOUNDARY QUESTION IN BERLIN. Now that the arbitration goes on in Geneva the negotiations likewise continue on the San Juan boundary demarcation at Berlin. Prince Bismarck will appoint distinguished interna- tional lawyers to decide the question in the name of the Emperor of Germany, to whom it was referred for adjustment.

Clay, By L. U, Reavis, New York: G W. Carleton & Co. 1872. 12mo., pp. 579, with Portrat. One of the least equivocal mischiefs to which American literature is subjected is the swift recur- rence of our Presidential campaigns. For then we are periodically deluged with biographies, lives of all the candidates, strung together pell mell for popular consumption, aad commonly destitute of all the elements which constitute a good book, while abounding in all the vices that go tomake up the bad one. To these ephemeral productions nothing but their novelty and the passing curiosity to know something about men prominent in the public eye can lend even @ momentary. interest. Crude in conception, inaccurate in facts, bungling In arrangement, and turgid in style, they are com- monly filled with undiscerning laudation of the sub- ject, and with little else. To this class of works most of the campaign literature which quadren- nially afflicts the press boiongs. If Mr. Reavis’ book—somewhat affectedly styled “A Representative Life of Horace Greeley’—docs not exhibit all the ear-marks of the unwholesome school to which it belongs, {t is chiefly owing to the fact that it was prepared, in large part, more than @ year ago, and to the further fact that much the larger share of its contents was written, not by the author, but by the subject ofthe book. Indeed, hadit not been for the saving wisdom evinced by Mr. L, U, Reavis in resolving to 1et Mr. Greeley tell the story of his life and of his principles for the most part himself, we tremble for the consequences, both to the public and to the philosopher ot Chap- paqua. For we can candidly say that a more stilted, absurd and ungrammatical writer than Mr, L, U. Reavis has seldom attempted authorship. Con- trasted with the clean-cut, sluewy English which constitutes Mr. Grecley’s foremost claim to eminence: as a journalist. what does the reader think of such bungling sentences as these, which are culled at random trom Mr. Reavis’ part of the volume?— The earnest, honest and independent selfhood, which knows no policy that is not dictated by his own convictions of right and justice—such a poli- tician is Horace Greeley, No one will deny that Horace Greeley is: not fa- miliar with the theories and forms of ancient and modern governments, and that his judgment upon | the rights of man and their true interests are as | far advanced as any man of his age, 1 that, there- fore, he 1s entitled to be ranked with the first states- men of this or any other country, and, in many re- ree equal to the most advanced legislators ot age. ge. That Horace Grecley is a statesman, in the highest sense of the term, is established by two facta, around which will cluster in all time the greater efforts of the wisest legislators, Mr. Greeley has, without question, done more to advance the general welfare of the American people | than any man of his day, whic service, together with | his comprehension of advanced politieal principles, establishes, beyond question his statesmanship, and entitles him to rank with the greatest of living legislators. His scope of mind and wisdom on all questions auxiliary to the establishment and main- | tenance of good government and the welfare of the peopic add vastiy to make him an embodi- ment of advanced statesmanship, and capable a worthy to mould the sentiments of his country- | men, and impress his thoughts upon the institu. | tions of the republic. Having considered his | abilities, his scope and sagacity of mind, as well as | his advanced thoughts upon Ceecbra! of govern- ment and subjects subsidiary thereto, tt remains to consider his eMciency and wisdom upon auxiliary | questions of government and society. When Mr. Reavis only attempts simple narrative | he does better, though even here he is immeasura- bly below Mr, Parton, who has told the story of Mr. Greeley’s life in an entertaining volume, and both writers are inferior to Mr, Greeley himself, who, as the historlan of his life, writings and opinions, defies all possibie competition. i The story goes that when the famous Dr. Johnson heard of the intention of James Boswell to write his (Johnson's) life, he roundly declared that he would prevent it by taking Boswell's.

And yet there isa warm sincerity and earnestness in the whole production which will go far with many readers to condone the primal fault of publishing as a book such little squibs of essay, anecdote and reminiscence as would well enough suit the fugitive columns of a newspaper, but which, set forth in the stately shape of a volume, seem hardly worth the conservation of the library. Several of the chapters (all, in fact, which have led the writer to fall into the pet mannerism of the day by straining after a strong thties are aimed at the pernicious doctrines of one whom the writer calls Mrs. Freelove. Very hearty and honest are the denunciations which this heresy receives, | There are in other chapters a mixture of sense and humor on the vexed question of housekeeping, and a whimsical series of pictures iliustrating the horrors of servantgalism. We believe this is the | sixth or seventh book which Olive Logan has thrown before the public, and we must conclude that there are people to buy and read them or they would not appear in such numbers.

Sr. Pererssura, June 11, 1872. Russia celebrated to-day the two hundredth anniversary of Peter the Great, one of the most remarkable monarchs, a8 well as one of the most wonderful men, of anclent or modern times—the man who gave the frat impulse of civilization to Russia, who commenced that work of extension and consoldation which has spread the Russian empire over one-fourth of the liabitable globe; the man who laid the foundations of her preaent great- ness and power; who found her without a single armed or unarmed vessel, and left her with a fect capable of coping with the most powerful then in the world, and created a large and powerful army, and brought it into a state of discipline which enabled him to almost double the extent of his empire, Nor were his efforts confined to warlike purposes. He built canals and roads throughout the empire; he founded universities and schools, and established commercial relations with nearly every nation on the globe. He broke down with @ strong hand and an iron will the old-time superstitions and prejudices against progress and enlightenment which, up to that moment, had rendered the country !mpervious to outward civill- zation ; he invited the immigration of strangers and the manufactures and improvements they brought with them; he encouraged the arts and sciences, fostered learning, and he tried and actually suc- cceded toa wonderful degree by the mere force of his will and versatility of his genlus in accomplishing, in a& few short years, political and moral ehanges in Russia that have required in other countries centuries to effect, Go where you will in Russia you will ind traces of Peter's hand; even in building new roads to-day they often discover that he had projected, or actualy commenced, a road in the same spot tending to the same purposes 200 years ago, And he was as wonderfully endowed physically as men- tally. Fully six feetsix inches tall, with a herculean frame that was proof against fatigue as it was against hunger, cold and privation; with an extra- ordinary manual dexterity and skill in the use of tools and implements as well as of arms—a mechanic, acarpenter, a shipwright, a blacksmith—he was. well calculated to crush and overawe the proud and hanghty aristocracy who, attached to the traditions of the past, opposed his reforms, flouted his new-fangied notions of progress andreform, and who would, had they dared, have made an end ofhim and them together. The Russians have reason to celebrate the birthday of such a man; for, in spite of all his vices, he did more to elevate his country, by forcing it into the path of civilization, than centuries of slow development have done for others, PREPARATIONS FOR THE EVENT. For some weeks preparations have been in pro- gress for the celebration of his two hundredth annl- versary on a grand scale. Seats had been built all around the great St. Isaac's square, on which is situated the famous equestrian statue of Peter, familiar to every school boy in America through the pictur’; orders were given for the proper ob- servance of the day and arrangements made for a grand religious service on the place. THE PRELIMINARY FESTIVITIES. The day before yesterday the ceicbration w: commenced by a grand procession on the rt when a boat which Peter made with his own han from the house where it 13 carefully 1, mounted on a barge decorated with flags and escorted down the Neva by the ‘onstantine and Nicholas, amid salutes from the shipping in the river, and the boats of the yacht club formed In line, the Airing of cannon from the fortress and along the shore, and the shouts of She enthusiastic crowd, who had got upa wonderful amount of excitement for the occasion. It was transferred to the raliroad to be taken to Moscow for the opening of (he Exhibition, which takes piace. | to-day. THE CRREMONIFS COMMENCED this morning by the eerie and all the imperial family, together with all the principal dignitaries of State, delegates and corporations, repairing to the chureh in the fortres vss the river, where is the tomb of Peter, and assisting at a grand high mass for the repose of his soul, A smaller boat than the one previously spoxen o%, likewise made by Peter, which is kept here, was placed on a barge, and the whole assembly, preceded by a guard of honor bearing velvet cushions, on which were placed the uniform, order and decorations worn by Peter at the battle of Pultowa, where ho gained a famous victory over the swedes, got into boats, and, forming into a procession, proceeded down the river a inile past the little old house Peter used to inhabit, past the immense winter palace of to-day, athird ofa mile jong, the habitation of his de- scendants, past the building of the Admiralty he founded, to Isaue’s square, where they landed SCENES AT 8T. ISAAC'S CHURC Here they formed into another procession, headed by priests, bearing banners and the mementoes, which seemed to be held In as great veneration as if they had been those of some holy canonized saint, followed by choristers, in scarlet robes, chanting 'y, melancholy service of the Greek Church; the bishops, in their gorgeous robes, plendent with gold and jewels; the dignitaries of State, the corporations, and, lastly, by the imperial family, the Grand Duchess Ragmar, and the ladies of the Court on foot; the Emperor and his staf on horse- back—all marched slowly across the immense place to St. Isaac’s church, Where another service was | held. THR PROCESSION RUUND THE GREAT STATUR. While this was going on an altar was being hastily coustructed before the great statue and between it and the river for the performance of another re- ligions service in the open air, The procession re- turned to the statue in about an hour inthe same | order in which it left the river, The priests and | bishops gathered around this newly raised altar, the Emperor and his staff approached upon one side without dismounting and the ladies of the Court upon the other standing. The scone at this moment became peculiarly striking and j{nter- esting. : .

THE BLENDING OF VOICES WITH THE ROAR OF ORD- NANCE. ‘The choristers now began chanting again their weird, melancholy music, always in the minor keys, aud they were answered by another choir placed on @ boat anchored near the shore. When this ceremony was about drawing to aclose there came a crash of cannon as if a broadside of about @ million guns had been fired into us, and it was so sudden, 80 hear, #0 loud and terrific that everybody started to their feet na if shot, It was followed by a long continued shout from the throats of the 45,000 soldiors of the Guard, during which the bells peaiod forth ail over the city, and the broadsides ‘woro repeated again and again, While high over all—the olamgr of Yologs, Hhe viavy yt Wumpots Bad 5 drums and €né4 roar of cannon—conld be heard ae tinctly the sound of the monster bells of St. Isaac’ rolling slong the a like muffled thunder.

But the glant statue around wh base was surging all this tumultuous ocean of sound only gazed steadfastly up at the clonds with stony eyes, little heeding the tumuit and nol going on at its feet. ' AN INTERMISSTON. This being over we were all invited in toa very neat and creditable breakfast, which His Majesty had fepeapty for us, and for which we were ex- ceedingly obliged, as it was now about two o/clock in the afternoon, and few of us had been sufflolentig rudent and thoughtful to breakfast before cont: e did ample justice to the good thin euenel for us, while they were getting read: foF the review outside, after which we returned to our balcosg. it was very much remarved that; neith the Swedish Minister nor aay member the Embassy was present, although ever other Legation were represented, and mucl speculation and conjecture was the re- suit, They probably stayed away, however, because Peter's great victory, that of Poltava, was jained over the Swedes, and they did not wish to loin in the celebration of their own defeat, although t occurred nearly two hundred years ago—a degree Of susceptibility Whioh is rather fantastis, ' THE REVIEW was much about the same sort of thing as any other review, but the soldiers of the Guard are,.f think, the finest I have ever seen, not even excepting the Germans. It was over in about an hour, and every- body was probably glad of it, for they had been om duty—some of them—since eight o’ciock tn the morning, and it was now three in the alternooa, A CHARACTERISTIC CTREUMSTANCR occurred just when the review was over and the last soldier about marching off. The crowd, whioh had allowed itself to be bullied all day by Treghael, the Chief of Police, suddenly broke through the lines, paying no more attention to the police than if they had been wooden men, aud in lesa tine than it takes to tell it had tilled up the whole place and surrounded the Emperor with cries of “Lom live the Czar.” am only astonished, fer my part, that @ Russian crowd allows ttselt to bulled in this way. They were not allowed to pass through this street, and they muas not enter that, and they are pushed back here amg driven forward there in the most unnecessary and exasperating manner. L wish M. Trepuof had am American crowd to deal with for about five mine utes, 1 think it would do him good, SCENES IN THH CHAMP DE MARS IN THE RVENING. In the afternoon in the Champ de Mars there were all sorts of popular entertainments—theatrea, rere poles, races in sacks, merry-go-round ‘lying Dutchmen and other things, which sceme to please the people immensely ; and [ must say that vey appeared extrmely merry and good natured, and not in the least bes eye to break each other's heads. This evening the theatres are opened free, and there is such a rush that tt ts tmpossible to wok within a quarter of a mile of one, let alone think of finding a seat; and the city is to be illuminated tor night, a rather diMeult undertaking, | am afraid, for it never gets dark here this time of year, an one can see to read with ease at midnight, Ang so ends the celebration of the two hundredth annk- versary of the birth of Peter the Great. The Ems» peror leaves almost immediately for the Crime: and everybody else leaves for somewhere, 80 th: o three days St. Petersburg will be as empty as jesert. ORIMES AND ACOIDENTS.
