‘ave much need of, and to get it we must adk God, whose free gift it is to every man that asketh. Prayer to be effectual should be humble, confident, persevering. True prayer is like heaven itself—converse with God on most intimate terms. Father Kean drew some lessons from the nartative of the Saviour's transfiguration, which demonstrated His mission to teach and to save. The Methodist local preachers of this city and vicinity bad a day for themselves yester- day in John street church. Mr. McFarlane preached on the folly of worldly wisdom and religious divisions, and recommended Christ as the source of all true wisdom and unity. Rev. Dr. Wild, of Brooklyn, demonstrated the need of Christianity by its effects upon mankind, by the consolation it gives to the living and comfort to the dying. And one must be incapable of observation, he said, if he could not discover a wholesome difference between the man that feared God and the man that did not. Rev. Mr. Camp, on the call of the Baptist to repentance or reformation of life and char- acter, declared that nothing short of Almighty grace can deal tenderly and justly with the man who dares to pretend to pray while he acts a lie. For himself he preferred tho simple, sincere, rough honesty of a man who may be profane, whose shadow may never darken a church door, to the oily-tongued man, who can discourse so serenely about religion, but is full of all manner of unclean- ness. Andsodowe. A religious hypocrite is the most detestable being on earth, and hence the Saviour when on earth lashed this class at every street corner and in every sermon or exhortation. Dr. Clarke could and did easily. demon- strate to his people that culture and Christi- anity do not always nor necessarily go to- gether. Hence Panl could not preach the Gospel so successfully among the learned Athenians as he did preach it in some other cities. With much culture there is apt to be lacking the humility that is needed to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as ‘our personal Saviour. There is a danger, he feared, that the idea will gain ground in the Church that religion and worldliness can go along the broad way to- gether. Mr, Beecher having returned from his lec- turing tour in the West, as might be sup- posed, was more full of philosophy than of Christ, and entertained his audience with a plea for ethical development, without which morality becomes narrow and secular. While the would preach that unless a man be born sgain he cannot enter the kingdom cf heaven, he thinks it much better that a man on his way up should have a lower grade of morality than nothing. He does not believe that much has been learned about the Divine nature during three thousand years, and hence there NEW SPAIN Parliamentary Debate on the Constitutional Project of the Ministry.

TELEGRAMS TO THE WEW YORK HERAL9. - Wann, March 9, 1873, Debate on the bill dissolving the Assembly, con- voking the constituent Cortes, and providing for elections for members of the latter, opened in the National Assembly yesterday. ‘The President of the Chamber left the chair and made a patriotic speech, declaring that he should not oppose the government's determination to dissolve the Assembly and call a constituent Cortes, Prime Minister Figueras exhorted the liberals to pursue a conciliatory course, and urged the con- servatives to trust in the Republic. The Assembly voted to take the bill into con- sideration by 186 yeas to 19 nays. CITIZEN APPROVAL AND PUBLIC INFERENCES AS TO RESULTS, The large and anxious crowd of people in front of the Hall of the Assembly on learning the result of the vote gave repeated cheers fcr the Republic. The Imparcial says the vote is a death blow to the radical party. It is expected that Henri Martos, Sordoal and Oreiro, who voted against the government, will re- sign.

It ts held by the Post Omce Department that the recent decision of the Attorney General that double postage should not be collected at the office of de- livery on the unpaid portions of letters partly pre- paid, by at least one full rate, does not apply to mailable matter of the third class—namely, pam- phiets, Occasional publications, magazines, un- sealed circulars, books, manuscripts, &c. By the act of January 9, 1873, all mailable matter of the third class must be fully prepaid by stamps at the office of mailing, and if not thus fully prepaid should be held for postage and not forwarded to its desti- nation. If, however, through the inadvertence of the Postmaster at the mailing oMce, such matter should be mailed without such full prepayment, by section 152 of the Postal Code, the Postmaster at the office of delivery must charge and collect double the prepaid rates, The Post OMce Department in a@ circular re- quires Postmasters to carefuily observe the fellow- ing instructions, based on the amendments to the 138d section of the new Postal law:—Packages of seeds, roots, bulbs and scions not ex- ceeding four pounds in weight, are to be mailed at a prepaid postage of one cent for each two ounces or fraction of an ounce.

In our opinion justice is the rarest com- Modity of the present age, and a stronger confirmation of the truth of this conviction was never more plainly seen than in the sanguino desire expremed by a num- ber of citizens of our city for the hanging of Foster, The fact is, the case comes home to many of our married men in ut too this city, There 49 @ warm, sympathetic pulse beating within them for the past position and present fate of Mr. Putnam.

HAVANA, March 8, 1873, who was so religious as to spend most of her time at church,” hence, says Mr. Putnam's ehampion, “he had to pass his time with other ladies.” Is church leas of a dope when young, and. lively ladies accompany & man to the sacred edifice than if his own wife ig companion?
