THE SEVENTH. Fiftieth Anniversary of New York’s Pet Regiment. A SPLENDID PARADE. The Banquet of the Veterans and Active Members at Irving Hall. The Seventh regiment celebrated its fiftieth an- Diversary yesterday with all the pomp and cir- cumstance which the enthusiasm of the active members and that of “tne culldren of an older growth,” who, in the dark days of the war and during Many years preceding it, wore the blue ana the gray, could contribute to render the occasion one long to be remembered. The parade was, of course, the great feature of the celebration during the day, although the banquet held in the evening Was in reality the most interesting part of what @ Frenchman would call the ceremonies of the festivity. The regiment turned out quite strong, in fall dress and in heavy marching order—that 19, | with Koapsacks and overcoats rolled thereon. There were ten companies of twenty-lour files front. The veterans numbered about two hundred, only a hundred of whom wore the uniform adopted by the veteran association some time ago. The Seventh is ever an attraction on Broadway, and the parade of yesterday was no exception to the general rule. Indeed everybody seemed bent on giving the pet command of the city 4 HEARTY WELCOME, and flags and bunting floated from nearly every housetop along the route of the march as a token Of greeting. The regiment, headed by the full band, started trom the armory about half-past two o’clock, and on debouching into Broadway swung into platoons, The reception given the commana ‘by the crowds which lined the sidewalks was B perfect ovation. Every window of every house along the route, the stoops and balconies and even the housetops themselyes had their gaota of spectators, who vied with the crowds on the sidewalks in cheering the regiment as it marched by. The police arrangements for keep- ing the streets through which the regiment was destined to pass were excellent, and the conse- quence was that the parade was not halted at any one time during the march ana that the men were enabled to keep steadily on without a break in the column both in the way down town and on the return to the armory. When the nemhborhood or the bulls and bears was reached the command Was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm, and for a time during the excitement that followed its first appearance on “the street” the crowds that poured down into Broad street from all the side streets were so great that loco- motion on the sidewalk became a matter of sheer impossioility. During the march up Broadway to the cay Hall Park the crowds of spectators in- creased at every block, and when the regiment wheele® into the roadway that runs through the Park just behind the new Post office every loot of avallabie space in front of the city Hall outside of the chains that were stretched from the entrance to the curb was occupied. The regiment MARCURD IN REVIEW by platoons, the splendid marching and the soltd appearance of each company eliciting from the Multitude of spectators round after round of applause, The Mayor and the members of the Common Council, with the Lord Mayor o1 Dublin and several of his frienas, reviewed the regiment aa it passed by from the plaza front- tog the Hall, Mayor Havemeyer remain- ‘og uncovered during the march and ree ale Ne a bow the salute of the ol- cers. Two ortnree members of the Irish team were alfo present on the balcony that extenas in front of the Governor's room in the second story, as well as the Lady Mayoress of Dublin and sev- eral of ber lady friends who came over to this country in her company. After marching past in review the regiment kept rigbt on up Broadway, marching by platoons, being received everywhere along the march by the immense crowds that had gathered to witness the parade with manifesta- tions of the greatest enthusiasm. The parade was in every respect a splendid one, and, fatigued though the men must have been after their some- what tedious march, tue warmth of the reception given them by the people must have put them in excellent spirits for a thorough enjoyment ot the omnes which took place in the evening at irving aul. THE BANQUET was 4 magniticent affair and as the Delmonicos had juli charge of the commissary department it is almost unnecessary to state that neither the old boy: ‘ho know what it is to enjoy a sweet repast with “hard tack” doing duty as the substantials as well as the deasert of a dinner, nor the youngsters who know of the haraships of the tented fiela trom Saratoga experiences, had any fault to find bn the score Of the supplies. ‘The ‘hall was taste- fully but plainly decorated; in fact there were no decorations proper other than a few regi- Meptal and United States flags, that were placed Ay yntervals het a } je belustrade of he galléries and hung sro! ie private boxes, Veterans and active members all told, there were about six bundred gentlemen present, 61x tables that extended from one end of the rodm to tue other being found necessary to accommodate the goodly company. With the exception of the in- vited guests, everybody was in Juli untiorm, and a more urilltant scene cannot be well imagined than that presented to the eye of the beholder trom the alleries. Everything was dazzling brightness— she swords that dangled irom tbe officers’ sides, the golden epaulets, the brilliant uniforms of the veterans, set off by the gray and gold lace of the active members; the moving tO and iroot the committee men, with their gold lace and epaulets cage under the bright light irom the chande- ers, made up & scene Of bewildering at- tractiveness. Besides the six tables that extended irom end to end of the hall, there was a seventh that extended across the room at the Btage end of the fall. On thistable was a repre- Bentation in confectionery of the ola Shakespeare (not Bacon) Tavern, where in 1825 the regiment used to drill. Over one of the two doors fronting oo Fulton street was a sign of “McLaughiin, Books,” and over the other, “Barber.” Seaied at the table were Colonel Clarke, Adjutant Fitzgerald, Lieutenant Coionel Rider, Quartermaster Weed, Major George More Smith, Surgeon Moreau Mor- ris, of the active field and stad of the regiment, and the tollowing veterans:—Ex-Colone!

Glendenning Before the Ecclesiastical Court— The Investigation to Commence To-Day. The Jersey City Presbytery met in the Second | The assembly | comprised delegates from Hudson, Essex and Passaic counties, Rev. Mr. Wall was elected Mr. French stated clerk and Kev. Mr. Stearns | temporary clerk. The programme for the exercises of the session haviiig bech arranged Rev. Mr. Booth moved that the letter of Rev. John & Glendenning in the | hands of the clerk be read, Rey. Mr. Harkness objected. He moved as an amendment that the Presbytery alone hear it | read. He thought the affair had already received too much publicity. The motion to appolut a committee of six—three clergymen and three elders—was adopted, and the iollowing were appointed:—Rev. Messrs. Imbrie, | wbaes of Riggs, aud Messrs, Stewart, Dewitt | Rev. Mr. Intbrie said that as the case was @ very important one notice should be given through the papers of the time and place of the investigation, go that all concerned could come forward. The committee were to sit as a grand jury, and it would be their duty to ascertain first of all if where were sufficient grounds for a case. Rev. Mr. Edwards waxed wroth. He was op- Posed, strenuously opposed, bitterly opposed, the papers so far as the Giendenning case was concerned. The publication of the notice called for would be unprecedented. He thonght that the committee should not allow more than a certain number of witnesses to testify. jv. Mr. Imbrie replied to this suggestion Sharply. He said that the committee there and then would give notice to all pereces baving com- plaints to make to come forward, and that a committee had been appointed to hear them. The case was @ very grave one, and demanded the fullest investigation, and the inquiry shoula be 80 conducted that no pérson could come forward | herealter and say with truth that it was partial or one-sided, or that any attempt was made to sup- press the facts or shield the guilty. For his own Part, as chairman of the committee he would take the responsibility of giving the notice, unless the Brcenyeery should pasa a resolution to the con- rary. The committee retired to deliberate, and soon afterwards issued the following notice :— The undersigned—having been appointed by the Pres- bytery of Jersey City as a judicial committee to con- ier and report to Presbytery what action, if any, is lo be taxen by the Presbytery in the cage of the Kev. 8 alleg against bis moral character, and current in this commu- nity—give this public notice that the committee will meet in the Prospect avenue Presbyterian church, Jer- sey City Heights, on to-morrow (Wednesday) afternoon, at four o'clock, and in the evening of the sume day, ab half-past seven o'clock.

The committee have nothing to do with the case during the trial be- yond any other member of the Presbytery.

THE HOMGOPATHIO MEDICAL OObLEGE. ‘There was a large and fashionable attendance at the College, at the corner of Twenty-third street and Third avenue, yesterday afternoon. It will be remembered that this institution was endowed by Mrs, Emma Keep, im honor of her husband, Mr. Henry Keep, the late millionnaire President of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail- way Company. Betore three o'clock yesterday numbers of ladies and gentlemen well known in art, scientific and society circles throngea the lecture room, situated on the jourth floor, and a cheerful impatience was manifested, es- pecially by the hilarious students, for the exercises to commence. Professor J. W. Dowling, the Dean of the Coilege, in a few weil chosen remarks, introduced Dr. Egbert Guernsey, who was to deliver the introductory lecture, Prolessor Guernsey very happily said that the medical projession combined and should comprehend all sclences—moral, intellectual and physicai—and that he who would excel in med cine should keep aw courant with all the latest a velopments in all the ranges of sclence and philoso- phy. He illustrated this by many logical examples and was warmly applauded by his nearers. Short | addresses were made by Professors Q’Connor, Helmuth, Paine, Allen, Lilienthal, Bradford and others in congratulatory vein, and the College verm was thus inaugurated with something like enthusiasm. The College opens with about 150 students, THE JERSEY TAX EMBEZZLEMENT, NEWARK, Oct. 6, 1874, In the Essex Court to-day John A.

The fact of Weston having made 101 miles on Monday had the effect of greatly increasing tne public desire to witness his efforts to complete his extraordinary feat.

A Brilliant Race Between the Schooners Clio and Meta—Sailing Over the Brook- lyn Club Course for the Champion Pen- nant—The Clio the Winner. The race between the schooner yachts Clio ana Meta, of the Brooklyn Yacht Ciub, for the cham- pion pennants of their class was sailed yesterday in accordance with club rules, excepting as to men, and under working sails. it will be remem- bered that this prize was won by the Meta on the | recent annual fall regatta of the club, when the Clio, her only competitor at that time, immedi- ately chailenged for it, and after a little considera: | tion the contest was set down as above, resulting in one of the finest aquatic struggles of the year, | the Clio proving the victor. It nad been arranged that the yachts should leave their anchorage off | the foot of Court street about nine o'clock, and owners, guests and judges were prompuly on band at that hour to join tne racing schooners, but the morning was hag¥ and there was hardly air enough to snuff a eandie; So by mutual consent all hands remained at the club house hoping for @ breeze. About half-past ten o’clock their prayers were answered, and from the south-southwest there came enough wind to warrant leaving Gowanus Bay and dropping down to the starting point. The contestants were as follows, the measurements given being made yesterday morning:— Length Length On Beam On Over an. “Water Le Walgy Z. sten & Bradhurst..77:11 r 18:00 ERR Mg 181081 The tide was the last of the ebb and the wind quite light, but prospect of more, when, every- thing being in readiness, the warning gun sent | its hollow echo over the bay at 11h. 15m, 308,, and | the second at 1, 21m. 303., notified the yachts | that they were at liberty to cross the imaginary | line and dash forward on thelr mission as soon as practicable.

THE NATIONAL GAME, About 2,500 persons were present at the game betweea the Athletics and Mutuals, played on the Union Grounds yesterday. The contest opened able to get @ man across the home plate before the sixth inning. In fact the Athletics were unable to get a runner past third base during the entire game, 80 beautifully did the Mutual’s team play together. In the sixth inning, when with two men on _ bases it looked as M they would certainly score, a sharp double play by Higham and Burdock doubled them up. At another time McGeary was splen- didly turown out at the homeplate by Allison, from the far right fleid, Matthews pitched with excellent skill, and was well supported 1n the field by the whole Mutual team. Burdock at third base was at his best and played without error. Rem- sen, Hatfleld and Allison mage some very pretty catches in the outéeld, while Start led at the bat.

ADDRESSES BY EMINENT DIVINES, The United States Congress of the Protestant Episcopal! Church held its first meetings yesterday. {In the morning, at half-past ten o’clock, there was the service of the holy communion in Calvary church, corner of Twenty-first street and Fourth , avenue, Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, officiated, assisted by Bishops How, of Nebraska, and Clark, of Rhode Island; the Rev. Dr. E. 0, Washburn, of | this city; the Rev. William R. Huntingdon, of Worcester, and the Rev. George D. Wildes, of this city. Prior to the beginning of the services Bishop Whipple, coming to the altar rail, alluded to the custom of the Roman armies on going into battle of raising their right hand anc taking an oath to be true to their country. He said that when we jeel weak and weary we should not only look upward with | strength and hope, but we should take an oath of of allegtance to Cnrist our King. It was meet that the first of tnese gatherings should take place around the Lord’s table, and that, casting our eyes and hearts upward, we should take the pledge Of loyalty to our Sovereign. The communion rites werethen administered, The Afternoon Session. At half-past two o'clock the first regular session of the Congress was held in Association Hall, which was well filled by a distinguished audtence, In the absence of the Bishop of New York, the Rev. Alexander H. Vinton, D. D., of Massachusetts, one of the Vice Presidents, took the chair. The proceedings were commenced by the singing of the hymn commencing, “Behold the glories of the Lord!” After the singing o1 this hymn prayers in accordance with the printed orm were offered | by the assembly. DR, VINTON’S ADDRESS. Dr. Vinton said that he thought he might be able to congratulate this Congress on its experiment, for soit might be called, It was an interesting experiment, for the discussions will tend upon the unity of the Church of Christ. There was one special feature that deno.ed unity in the Church of Christ, and that was the missionary work, work in which there is laboring for Christ, nO matter what form that labor might take. however, 1s feeling and isjlove. seems to stand apart. Was it not conceivable that the mind of the Church could be brought into aunity? That was the object of the Congress, Was there not @ possibility of rising toa higher level, where the light is purer ana where we can take a wide-spread view of the dogmatic truths which men hold? There is an elevation to which the mind of the Church could be luted, where prejudices and the sharp angles of difference shall be rubbed off. What has the Church Congress done Jor this? It has in- vited representative men of every style, class, school and order of thought to aidin the dis- cussion of what? Why, the seed princtples of thought; principles in which they can be agreed, though they may in their practical application be somewhat divergent. This coming together in | order to see each other's differences, 1s the conse- quence of this Congress, It is therefore for this reason that those who came together in this Con- gress may be benefited and strengthened by the contrast of men of different views. There will be no yote takeo, 80 that there will be no oppor- tunity given for the pride of thought. Was not this purpose wholesome? Was tt not ail that could be gone in the present time? Let the congregation join with him in the invocation:. “Come, Lord Jesus, come powerfully, come quickly. Amen.” (Applause.) PAPER BY DR, J. COTTON SMITH, The subject appointed for the afternoon session Was the “Limits of Legisiation as to Doctripe and Ritual.” The first paper was read by Dr. J. Cotton Smith, in the course of which he said; that what- | everlimits there may be in legislation with regard to doctrine and ritual, it was impossible to overlook. authority 8 ofar as the Scriptures were concerned. The only authority that could be recognized as to doctrine and ritual was the General Convention, and that only im the form of legislation. There was an underlying philosophic principle which gitmmers all the Way through these discussions, and that is the condition and the wellare of the Church. He regarded spectal legislation with ref- erence to doctrine and ritual with very great dis- trust. It was the peculiar distinction of this Oon- gress that it allows an unrestricted utterance of every opinion. The General Convention was only in a Very imperfect degree a representative body. The fact of the equality of the dioceses was apt to throw the power into the hands of small dioceses. tee means there 18 a very imperfect represen- tation. The Rev, H. MILLER THOMPSON then followed in a Paper on the same subject. he Rev. Dr. ANDREWS, Who was announced as a speaker by an error of the programme, read a paper on the same subject as the preceding clergy- | men. ‘The Kev. B. S. HUNTINGTON said that if thirty years of service in the Church gave him a right to | ask questions before an audience like that, he had some questions to ask. The paramount object of the preaching of the Gospel was to save souls, and, theretore, it was incumbent upon those preaching the Gospel to make their services as attractive a3 posi to all classes of minds, Was it not, there. fore, unnecessary that there should be a leg! lation that should interiere with that which is non-essential? The one great and grand essential of the Church was to preach the Gospel. Any young man seeking to go into the ministry, who 18 con- fronted with the diMculty that he did not accept some minor doctrine; that was, in the hae eae of the speaker, & matter that should not be alfected by the legislation of the Church, In this broad view of the subject could they not unite on the ordad, high level of Catholic churchmen, ir} We could not tolerate a high ritualism on the one side and @ revised prayer book on the other? (Cheers.) Rev. Dr. WASHBURN Said that the danger of the Church was notlikely to be on tue side of over- Ireedom. It is, therefore, on that account that he plice 18 a matter of costume ora matter of doc- trine? Itis not possible to tell where doctrine begins and where this wsthetic sentiment end: fle believed this ritualistic movement was trac able to the history of the Church itsel!l. Ii we look back to the Oxford movement of thirty-five years ago it originated out of the great issues of doc- trine. It is what is the relation of the personal faith to the sacrament. Only a free discassion bi bring atrue Church and a@ lasting victory. Cheers.) : iishor, WuirrtR, of Minnesota, said that he be- hheved every word said by Dr. Thompson and Dr. Andrews aa to preserving the Catholic 1ait of the | , aaa Meeting of the Association and atonement in the Son of God. He had no sym- patny with that kind of notion which said that it was ho matter what a man’s faith 1s so long as he thinks he is right. Did it not matter to a man who was lost in one of our large prairies where he went to so long as he thought he was going right? The real question is this, What are we going tu do | With the millions of souls that are to ve saved? He once asked a distinguished prelate in London, some years ago, this question, “Why do you permit im the streets of London these Btreet services?” He replied, “Bishop, it seems that those are the only preachers whu have Jound out that the people have suuls.” (Loud and dong continued appianse.) He (tne speaker) re- jwiced if Christ was preached in any way. He Peneved that there was quite too large a body of canons to-day to tell them what bishops may or may not do, He did not believe that there was an Eastern diocese more loyal than those churches in the Western diocese. He had said to a clergyman who asked him avout preaching to a large lumber camp in bis diocese, Where the congregation would be composed of men like the sons of Anek, and where he should be compelled to read “Beariy beloved brethren” by the light of @ fickering tallow candle, what he should do, The Bishop said, “I replied, go brother, preach to these men the yospel, and von’t report to me what form of service you used.” (Loud and continued cheer- ing. fi ile afternoon session was closed with the sing- ing of the hymn commencing, J love thy kingdom, Lord. The Kv: ing Session. The proceedings of the evening session were opened by the singing of the hymn, Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, and the offering o! prayer. A copy of a cable despatch was read, which was sent alter reading to a conference of the cleray of the Church, meeting in Brightou (England). 1t ‘was as follows:—“The American Churca Congress senus Greeting to their English brethren, A. H. Vinton, Chaftman.” THE PAPERS. Papers were read by Dr. Edwin Harwood, Con- | necticut, and by Dr. Samuel Buel, on clerical edu- cation, Brief daaresses were delivered by Bishop Clark, of Rnode Island; Dr. Norton, of Virginia; Dr. ©. L, Richards, of Providence, and Dr. P. P, an. wine Rey. Dr. H. MILLER THOMPSON said that the question had been discussed ip @ much narrower spirit than probably it was designed to be. It was not to be confined to an educauon in theology, but an education to enable men to preach. Now he believed that that education was just as as in any Christian community in this land. ‘The Average temperature for corre: Seerer etter | map. toat education should then be the education of the tat ‘wus We peculiarity o1 the All | coveted the ultimate oneness in Christ, All this, | But the fatellect | . tage, 100, side with the coming squire of the ry and the men who were to lead the thought in the time either in the Bar or the Senate, by the singing of the ening Hyma’’ and the Dionouneing the benediction. ‘Ths evening at half-past seven the Congress will ind discuss “The nristian Boule: THE BROOKLYN PRESBYTERY. ‘The Presbytery of Brooklyn has just closed its semi-annual session in Dr. Van Dyke’s cburch, Remsen street, A few matters of more than routine interest drew together and kept, nearly to the cose, afull house, One of these mattersis the condition of the First.churen, in the Eastern Dis- trict. About @ year anda half ago itcalied the Rey, Mr. Hagaman, a Congregational minister of Paterson, to be its pastor. He officiated for a | year and then applied for admission to the Presbytery. But his credentiais were not in proper trim, his ministerial standing was doubted, and his application was reiused by the Presbytery at its spring session, Tucreupon about forty members of the church se ceded, hired @ ball and engaged Mr. Hagaman’s servicé, This has so weakened the regular body that possibly the church edifice will be sold, The query with the Tegular church, and on which they ask tue advice of the Presbytery, is wnat shall they do with the rebellious members? the Presbytery yesterday advised them to invite the seceding brethren back again, and, a8 an alternative, to tender them letters Of dismission, so as to leave the church tp regular order; but the Pirst church is also en+ Joined to use Christian forbearance and patience. The Foreign Mission treasary is $33,000 in debt. The Education Society is $7,000 behind, ‘The Freedman’s Society has 40 schools under its care, 3,650 pupils and #5 teachers; 18 churches were or- ganized last year, and 160, containing 6,724 com- municants, are now under its care, The Presbr- tery ia in debs for the Greenpoint church $4,435, and for the Siloam church $2,500, which the Prea- bytery took measures to liquidate, The next meeting will be held at Dr. Cuyler’s church.

Dr. Kennard presided, Dr. William Reid made the opening fen and the services were of a high order of interest, including several pleasing musical selec- tions, Miss M. A.
