FREE CUBA. The Expedition of the Urnguay—Arms, Am- munition and Reinforcements for the Patriots. A LANDING EFFECTED. The Enemy's Nocturnal Illumination and Mus- ketry—The Dreaded Tornado in Pursuit, ESCAPE TO KINGSTON. It will be rememberea that the movements of the steamer Octavia, or, as she ts now called, the Uruguay, have called forth a good deal of comment, both in this city and at the State Department, Washington, Sho was for a good while suspected of being in the service of the Cuban Republic, and therefore received a vast deal of undesired attention from Spanish spies and agents of the United States Secret Service, Her arrival at and departure from Turk’s Island, Aspinwall, and Kingston, were telegraphed as events of considerable importance; and these columns have occasionally con- tained short accounts of what tho Uraguay—now de- tained by the British authorities at Kingston—has been doing. As will be seen by the following narrative, the enemies of Cuban independence had good cause to lay im wait for & vessel that was intended to throw rein- forcements and supplies into the Manigua, The follow- ing interesting account of the Uraguay’s late expedition 1s made up from an interview which was had yesterday with Colone: Lopez de Queralta, chief of the expedi- tionary forces on board the Uruguay. On the 9th of June last, while the vessel lay in New York, a notification was received by her agents that she would be detained on account of the right to fly the British flag being denied her, It was the British Consul here who made the objection, and he did so at the instance of the British Minister in Washington. The reason alleged for not granting a British register was based upon the fact that the Octavia had only a provisional one for a year, and the neglech wr tho Cuban agents had allowed thd fime to lapge without re- newal. A sale of the steamer was then effected toa gitizen of the Republic of Uruguay, and the Consul of ‘thal coufry al “énco tssuod # register to the vescot under the new name of El Uruguay. Mr. Arias be- came the new ostensible owner of the ship. On the 5th of August the Uruguay left New York for her destination. Excepting a few well known Cuban officers and sympathizers, the steamer had nothing on board to excite suspicion or challenge attention from ‘the most astute spy at the disposal of the Spanish Con- sul. She was represented to be one of the fastest and best vessels of her kind afloat; instead of this being the case it soon became apparent, much to the morti- fication of Colonels Queralta and Rosada, that the Uruguay was very slow, sluggish and heavy in every particular She never made more than ten knots an hour, with ali sail set, the wind and cur- rent in her favor, and under a full head of steam. It took her eleven days to make the trip between this port and Turk’s Island. The direction of the enter- prise was confided to the care of Colonel Pio Rosada; ‘an officer of the Cuban army, who has on various occa’ ‘sions distinguished himself by the boldness and suc- ‘cess of his runs to and from Cuba, in spite of all the SPANISH MEN-OF-WAR THAT SCOUR ITS COAST. ‘Turk’s Island was reached on the 16th. It was simply a place of call, made for the purpose of throwing te Spaniards off the track. The expeditionary vessel re- mained at the island but twenty-four hours, and on the following day set out for the island of San Andres, near Aspinwall. Tn four days the trip between Turk’s Islana and that of San Andres was accomplished, and on the 2ist the Uroguay found herself at the spot where her cargo of war malerial awaited shipment. This cargo, like the ‘Wessel, was found to be much exaggerated as to its im- portance, both in point of quality and quantity, The Cuban agent in New York bad represented the various items soup eng ‘the cargo to be all of first class manu- facture and in Perfectly 000 condition; but upon ex- amination it was found that the war material INTENDED FOR SERVICE IN CUBA was good for nothing, She so-called Remington rifles turned out to be an inferior kind of Springfield, En- fleld and Minié muskets, altered into breechloaders and furnished with the old Remington lock, adapted to rim fire cartridges. The ammunitiow for these arms was also in a wretched condition. It was mostly made up of the old Spencer metallic cartridge, and a great many of them were injured from excessive exposure, Colonel Queralta was both surprised and chagrined to find that the barrels of these pieces were packed in different cases from the stocks. This arrangement, or rather dis- ‘arrangement, occasioned much delay and confusion in the efforts that were made to collect the Pieces composing = the ~— guns. In trying to get them — together, it was found that quite a number both of barrels and stocks were useless, and, as such, had to be thrown aside. How- e Colonel Ro: upon the whole, thought it better to accept the buif serviceable arms, such as they were, rather than put back to New York and disappoint the men in the field, who were anxiously waiting for succor | from their friends tn the United States, Colonel Que- falta, in referring tO the matter, said:— *‘Had I possessed the power I would have entered my | protest and not received any of the cargo, for Sefior Aldama, the Cuban special agent in New York, has im- perative instructions from the government of the Re- public to send neither aris nor ammunition on any ex- | edition unless they correspond to the Remington Spanish model rifle of calibre .43, to which description of arms these guns in no way corresponded.” Out of the eighteen pieces of artillery which the ex- peditionists expected to find, only six were forthcom- ing. Four of these were smoothbore twelve-pounder howitzers, mounted on truck, or marine carriages, and | were cast In the year 1844, The other two pieces wero twelve-pounder brass field pieces, mounted on travel- ling carriages that were built for cannon of heavy calibre. These two guts, miserably mounted as they ‘were, seemed to be the most useful items in the whole cargo. Shipping the war material, repairing and cleaning tho | arms and getting things ‘about the vessel “ship shape’? occupied ten days. Here, too, a uumber of “passen- gers,” consisting, it is said,’ of over one hundred fight- ing ten, made up of some well known Cuban ofli- cers, were taken on board, It was expected that a schooner with a load of coal would meet the Uruguay at San Andres; but in this also the patriots | were disappointed, and as no time could now be lost the litue pioncer ship of Cuban liberty left that island and reached Aspinwall on the 1ith of September, It is | worthy of remark that in cleaning the arms, pieces of gaspipe about rour inches long were found inserted in the breech of the guns to make the cartridges fit them, | The muskets themselves might be had at the arsenal | for old iron at the rate of six cents a pound. | From the time of arriving at San Audres, sickness | began to manifest itself among the crew, a number of | ‘whom were very bad; and two ‘passengers’ were left | sick in Aspinwall. At the wharf in Aspinwall sumi- cient quantity of coal was taken into the bunkers to do for the entire voyage. | On the afternoon of the 14th of September the Uru- | guay, with her personnel and materiai of war ou board, | steamed out of the harbor at Aspinwall, BOUND FOR CUBA LIBRE; Dut not before two coast pilots, whose services, from | their intimate acquaintance with the south side coast, | were most valuable, had deserted the ship. The little steamer, with her ‘singularly assorted cargo, kept on her dogged way, in the teeth of wind aud weather, ploughing a trackless path through the fittul waters of the Caribbean Sea, and heading toward the south side | of the “Ever Faithful Isle.” On the 18th Carlos | Pacheco, one of the “passengers,” died of typhoid | fever, and, with due ceremony, many mourning friends | sorrowfully committed his body to the keeping of the | deep. On the 23d, at two o'clock in the mormng, the forest-clad hills of Cuba were sighted. Immediately Preparations were made for the purpose of effecting | a@ ianding without loss of time. A disembarkation of the men and material would at once havo taken place but for the unexpected appearance of a strange sail, The suspicious vessel hove in sight on the starboard bow of the Uruguay at about two o'clock in the afternoon, The course was changed a few points to the southward without altering the speed. Karly in the night the course was again changed in the direction of the distant bills of Cuba, Again, in conse. | quence of sighting what was thought to be the same suspicious vessel, the Uruguay changed her course; but upon losing sight of the unwelcome stranger, about | ten o'clock at night, she once more beaded toward the | intended landing place. Finally. at two o'clock on the morning of the %th, the piace of disembarkation was reached, and speedily | the first landing effected without being disturbed. rd | would hardly be right to say here just what portion of the arias and ammunition were piaced on the shore of free Cuba; let it for the present suflice to state that for three good hours the Cubans on the steamer co operated with their compatriots ashore to take from the Uruguay the greatest possible amount ofher cargo in the shortest possible space of tima The work of discharging the arms and amimunition was only interrupted by the tell tale daylight, which began to show where THE BLOCKADE RUNNER WAS AT WORK. The Cuban vessel now put to sea, after having arranged ‘to return at night to the same spot and put on shore the rest of the freight, According to promise, tho steamer made toward the coast and gotin near the shore the following night (the 26th) ; but, unfortunately, neither the Captain of the von 4 nor Colonel Rosada could ind the spot where they had made connection ‘with the Cuban troops om the previous night During the entire night the daring craft cruised about Gre her way along the coast in hopes to meet with ‘iends; all of which time the Cubans both ashore and afloat suffered the most exquisite tortures of hope dis- ppointed and well grounded fears for the ship’s safety. On the night of the 26th a similar unsuccesstul attempt | about this waltz that interferes with claims of origi- NOVEMBER 24, 1875.—TRIPLE SHEET. NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, to the dismay of all on board, a rocket pierced the sky, shot up from the very pot where it was in- tended to attempt tho landing, and at the moment when Colonel Queralta (who bad been wamed comman- der of the land forces) had his men drawn up to take to the boats. Presently a second rocket shot ito the sky a little to the right of where the first was seen. ‘This signal was soon followed by ‘A CONCENTRATED VOLLEY OF MUSKRTRY, and then appeared # vivid tliumination, which showed on the shore a long white house that, for the moment, looked like an extensive barracks for a large body o troops, This untoward happening compelled an im- | mediate change in the Cubans’ pian of operations, and | after consultation between the Captain and Colonel | Rosada, it was resolved to at once put away from the coast. These events took place at about three o'clock in the morning. As #00n as the day dawned a Spanish man-of-war, bo other than TH REDOURTARLE TORNADO, was made ont in the distrnce, commencing the chase under full steam and sail, It was a trying moment for the patriots on board the slow old Urdguay, she being in such wretched condition, and all who crowded her decks looked upon themselves ag in the jaws | of death, Nothing daunted by the danger, the | Cubans determined to be equal to the emergency and agre to blow their ship out of water rather than con- sent to make part in another Virginius ease or furnish | Subject matter for a new Fish protocol. The plan | adopted was to let the enemy get alongside and board her; then to blow up the magazine of the Uruguay as S00 a8 the two vessels should come in contact, so as to involve the destruction of both. But, to the great sur- prise of the Cubans, the Spaniard stopped short and re- mained stationary for at least a quarter of an hour, In the meantime All kinds of fuel, including bams, lard and similar combustibles, were thrown into the furnaces, and the blockade runner began to make headway, and under ail the steam she could bear, and every stitch of canvas set, scudded along smartly before a favoring breeze. For many hours the Tornado kept in sight; and during this time excitement on board the Cuban’ vessel ran very high; but there was no confusion, and the men took the an- Houncement coolly enough’ when they were informed that incase of capture the ship would be blown up, Night spread her friendly veil of darkness between pur- suer agd pursned, and on the following day, the 27th, the Uroguay reached Kingston, dhorify after arriving in port the chief engineer, Joaquin Agiar, and two of the passengers died. Oue of the passengers’ name was Perez Alfouso, but the other is not remembered by Colonel Queralta, Colonel Queralta, who has recently arrived here from Jamaica, says:—I withdrew from the expedition be- cause the quality and the quantity of the cargo were found to be anything but what Mr. Aldama said they were, and the next time he fits out an expedition I sincerely hope that, for hig own credit ax well as the good of the cause, be will take better care how he does it,” Although Colonel Queralta did not say so, it is understood that Vice President Aguilera, who Oh his way to assume the Executive power in free Cuba, was on the Uruguay; but why he, as well as the other men who intended to stay there did not remain in Cuba the first night when the arms were landed, bas not been explained, 2 “ MUSICAL REVIEW. Thomas J. Hall, New York, publishes the following works:— “Daisy Darling,” “The Songs That Mother Sung” and “Brightest Roses,” songs by H. P. Danks, The composer has written @ few ballads which attained a fair share of popularity, but they were preferable to the ones in question now, The first is, however, a rather pretty melody, even if it be common-place; the second is worthless and the third has little of origi- nality to recommend it, ‘The same house publishes a bright, sparkling, vocal waltz by Signor Ferranti, dedicated to Adelina Patti, and played frequently at Gilmore’s Garden, Mrs, Jane Sloman Torry’s waltz song, ‘Star of the Morn,” is also calculated to become a favorite in the concert room, and is accessible to every lady singer, being simple and within the compass of any ordinary voice, “Strauss Memorandum Waltzes;” Alexander Silber- berg. This is a ‘kK, ineffective imitation of the famous waltz composer’s style, It may appear to more advantage forthe orchestra than inthe piano form, “Bessie, the Star of the Vale,” ballad, J. R. Thomas, A very charming melody, breathing the spirit of the earlier songs of this justly popular writer, “Within the Gates of Gold,” song and chorus, Charles E. Pratt. Graceful and attractive, “We'll Hunt the Buffalo,” song and chorus, ©. S. Grafulla This is a rollicking favorite with the Hobo- | ken Turtle Club, to whom it is dedicated, “Ses Yeux."’ Gottschalk, A brilliant arrangement for four hands, of a highly effective polka de concert, somewhat like those sparkling works played by poor Harry Sanderson. “The Pupil’s First Primer in Music” is the title of a little book compiled by Francis H. Brown, and admira- bly adapted to its subject, A pronouncing dictionary of musical terms is an attractive feature. For schools this work is very valuable and calculated to relieve the teacher of much labor, Edward Schuberth & Co., New York, publish the fol- lowing :— “trish Melodies,” with anew piano accompaniment, by F.

A charm- ing little morceau, gracefully and delicately con- structed on simple themes, “Bells of the Village Ohurch,” descriptive piece. Henry Maylath. The handsome title page is about who only meritorious feature in this piece. It is dreary, monotonous and commonplace. The *‘Saltarello”’ from the same pen is evidently fodnded upon a well known | Tarentella | “Gavotte in A” (in Don Juan, by Gluck,) arranged | for the piano by William Mason, An excellent arrange- ment of a quaint old subject, New York, publishes the following ” soprano or tenor solo, K. Reyer. A smooth. flowing melody, andante sostenuto, adapted for the noble subject and of easy compass for the voice. “The Maiden’s Evening Song,” G. Federlein. Avery expressive and eloquent musical address to the evening star, with some ingenious devices in the accompani- ment, The English words have evidently been titted | to the music without regard to the difference between | the accents of the music and the words. It will not do to place an anaccented ghee at the commencement of a measure, “Love Lies Bleeding,” by the same composer, is a dainty little gem, that charms as much | developing, | not more than seventy-five persons being present, by its simplicity as the tender sentiment that in- spires it. “Ave Maria,”? soprano solo; D. Rabini. A sensuous Italian melody, but little suited for the prayer it is supposed to illustr Louis Berge, New York, publishes a fine collection of sacred music, containing selections from his own works d from those of Ceruti and Nini, under the title of ‘Crown of Triumph.” They are very good for small choirs, Berge’s variations on a song by Danks will interest young fingers as a species of study, Ditson & Co., New York and Boston, publish tho following:— “Gems of English Song.” This is a collection of fa- vorite concert airs, solos, principally, with afew popu- Jar duets and quartets. It is handsomely bound, and among the eighty selections it contains there !s variety enough to suit any taste, It is a very valuable work. “When the Tidé Comes In,” song, by J. Barnby, Las won deserved popular'ty by the singing of Miss Ster- ling, who regards it ag one of the chief favorites in her extensive répertoire. “Qur Lovely Hudson,” waltz, by R. Aronson, Thero | isasuspicion of too close study of Strauss themes nality, “Just in Time,” galop, by the same composer, is not particularly interesting in piano form. This house publishes Weber's “Polonaise” and tho “Fantasia Hongroise,”’ as played by Hans Von Bilow. The Polonaise” is ‘slightly simplided in some of the movements. “Bella Waltz,” G. Lamothe, Quite a brilliant, effect- ive work. “Caghiostro Waltz.” This is @ sparkling selection from an operetta by Johann Strauss, called ‘Cagliosiro”? im Vienna, which bas met with great favor in Europe. “Honor the Ladics,’’ waltz, by Keler Béla, was ono of the favorites at Central Park Garden concerts last summer. “English Pearls,” fantasia on English airs, Willie Pape, A very clever arrangement of three well-known songs of Albion, equal to the composer’s fantasia on Irish melodies. : “Must we Meet as Strangers,’’ ballad, J.

CONTINUED ACTIVITY IN BROOKLYN AND NEW YORK CHURCHES. Since the departure of Messrs, Moody and Sankey the awakened interest in religious matters, which their presence here was the chief agent in ig not likely to soon decline, In several of the Brooklyn churches daily morning or evening gatherings aro held, in which a deep sense of devotional spirit is manifest. Many of tho most earnest of the city pastors are wide awake and hard at work garnering the harvest of souls, and from the present indications it is hoped that the feeling of religious inquiry will spread and gather force by the labors of the various church organizations through the coming winter, Reports of yesterdays meetings will be found below. LAFAYETTE AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. At the Presbyterian church in Lafayette avenue (Rey. T. L, Cuyler, D. D.), last evening, there was a large attendance, the promise haying been made that an address would be made by Mr, Needham, He was detained, however, and his place was filled by Rev. L. ©. Underwood, of the Church of the Covenant. His subject was, “There is a land yet to be possessed.” He preached forcibly in favor of the gathering in of souls by the Church, and in reference to the importance of mizsion work and the absorbing interest which somo Christian men found in it be made many strong illustrations, — which aroused others of the brethren’ to avow_ their faith in Christ as soon as he had concluded, When, at nearlynine P. M., the general meetings for prayer, raise and brief exhortations had been concluded, Rev. r, Underwood retired and a young men’s meeting, was organized with Rev. George A. Hall, President, of the Washington Young Men’s Christian Association, to lead the services. ‘There were no lengthy or labored addresses, simply brief —_re- marks by some of the young gen. tlemen present, all leaving the impression that they were thankiul for the late presence of Moody and San- key, even if, as declared py rome, they had only created an excitement on the subject of religion, They were full of the belief that if Messrs, Moody and San- key had simply disturbed the soil with their plough- share of excitement there was all the more need for \ol- lowing up their work by planting the seed of religion and caring for itg full fruition in thoir locality, The meetings are to be Soninued, CLINTON STRERT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The second of the union prayer meetings held in the Presbyterian church, corner of Clinton and Fulton streets, under the auspices of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association, was held yesterday morning, Thero was an attendance of about 300 persons, mostly business: mes from the vicinity of the Heights and Fulton street, Mr. Needham, the now well known Irish evangelist, was present and opened the exercises with prayer. Singing, praying and remarks followed, the latter by Rev. Dr, Inglis, of the Reformed church, on the eights; Rev. Dr. Thomas, of the First Baptist church ; Rey, Mr. Smith, of Canada, and Mr. Morton, of Plym- outh Bethel mission. In addition to the above Mr, Needham made a short address, having for lis theme, “The throne and the altar,’? finding his text in the nineteenth and twentieth chapters of the Book of Exodus. He was listened to with marked attention, and when be had concluded upward of one hundred written requests for prayers were received. These meetings are to be continued each morning until further notice, HANSON PLACE BAPTIST CHURCH. At the Hanson place Baptist church last evening there was a large attendance, notwithstanding the con- tinuance of the storm, The opening prayer was offered by Brother Thurlow. At the desk usually occupied by Rev. Justin D, Fulton Rev. A. G. Lawson, of tho Greenwood Baptist church, officiated, finding his text in St, John, xvii, 18—‘As thou hast sent me into the world, eyen so have I also sent them into the ‘world. He preached of the _ neces sity for ‘continuing the work of revival so well bogan in Brooklyn by Messrs, Moody and Sankey, and allied on all to aid in the progress of religion among the people so Tong as there shall seem to be need for calling the unredeemed to a saving apprecia- tion of the mission of Jesus Christ on earth. The meet- ings here are to be continued afternoon and evening for prayer, praise and exhortation, and during their continuance Dr. Fulton is to be, as he has been, aided by Uncle John Vassar, of Poughkeepsie, who has vol- unteered for the work ‘and who is declared to be doing effective service as at the meetings heretofore. Ex-Al- derman Richardson lent the aid of his presence and en- couragement to the evening’s work. Rs THE QUAKER CHURCH. In the Quaker meeting house, Lafayette and Wash- ington avenues, the Friends who worship there have been moved by the excitement in the other churches, anda work known as ‘‘a greater baptism of faith’? has been commenced, There was no meeting last evening, as had been expected, but the Friends in the neighbor- hood declare that they must work in conjunction with the other churches to secure a better life to such as can bebrought within the influence of the truth as tanght by them. Regular services will be held here- after, PLYMOUTH PRAYER MEETING. ‘THE MINISTRY OF LOVE. The attendance at Plymouth prayer meeting was even smaller last evening than the evening previous, MR. BEECHER’S REMARKS, After the usual exercises Mr. Beecher said:—I want | to call your attention to a few passages in the ministry of Christ, and, in order to come to it, let me go back a litde, If you can imagine a person more sensitive to the effect of sorrow and wrongdoing upon men than an abstract notion of the wrong itself, imagine @ person who fecls toward his fellow | men as a mother feels toward her children, who have | become sick by just doing what she has forbidden them | todo, The mother feels a sort of latent indignation, a | | | sort of fecling that it serves the child right; but then comes the feeling, ‘‘It is my child, and I must take care of it.” I cannot better imagine the central Divine sentiment than by that description. There is no plan | or arrangement by which a man can be saved—no con- ception, to my mind, like this compassion of a great soul for those who have brought upon themselves | trouble, to say nothing of the troubles we do not bring upon ourselves. Send a man oat with that spirit, educated in the old theology, with a preponderance of tenderness and compassion, trying more to help men than make the- | ology, and you will have my life. I undertook to preach standard theology, but I was go made that the sense of humanity and Compassion and sorrow for man | was ever the stirring motive that propelled my min- | istry. When came here first everything that did not | aecord to that theme I handled awkwardly. In a com- munity where you cannot do any better these ground | tones (as you might call them), these alternative | truths, are to be used, but there may be atime when | you should attempt to intluence a people by the social | influence of a large body of men brought to bear on it. | Mr. Beecher here illustrated Christ's manner of | reaching by reading part of the ninth chapter of | Mrathewe-the miracle of curing the boy possessed of the devil, who was also dumb, Said Mr. Beecher, “0 that men in these days possessed of the devil were only dumb!’? Ho resumed:—instruction went with practical help in His ministry. His miracles meant mercy, not marvel. His was not an ascetic ministry. The results of His ministry were joy and gladness. He drew the people. He went out alone, He aid not have tho co-operation of churches, and, by the per- sistent sweetness of His tcaching, created this want of Him in the heart of man, A memorable instance of this is shown when He, exhausted with work, lett Galilee and went north for a vacation; but He could not be hid, and they followed Him, and as He found His work increasing on His hands there He came back to the Sea of Galilee and took ship there to the northeast corner of the sea, but the people went after Him, and instead of resting He sat down and talked with them, He had compassion on them and, there- fore, the first time He performed the miracle of increas- ingthe bread they were filled with such zeal that they said “This is the man,” and attempted to make Him King of Israel. It was the turning point; it was Hig home life erate them, His knowing that they were hungry; He felt sorry for their bellies as well as their hearts.’ If He had let them make Him king they would have done anything for Him, but when He would not they said, ‘He has not the courage, "? He left Galilee soon after and began His Journey to Jerusalem, where He died, It was the apex of His ministry. ' Now, what I want to say is this, That while 1 do not say there is one way of working in revivals of | religion, 1 do say the method of ministry ought to fol- | low some principle, Now you have been educated in | | one way and will be as long as I am alive and your pastor, Iconld not address myself to fear and con- science. I have such a sense of the power of the other | elements of the Gospel, | There are two ways to preach—one is to preach how bad men are; the other to preach how good they may be, Religion is nota yoke, @ bondage; it Is an aug- mentation, you not believe that’ men may be reached in this way who cannot be reached in any other, and may it not be to this thing you are called? May it not be wise for all of us to undertake to bring men together with increasing earnestness? 1 will now Teave the oe to you, There followed short addresses by brothers Hill and White and another brother asked Mr. Beecher if bearing fruit was not one of the evidences of Chris- tianity and expressed his longing to bear some kind of fruit, Mr. her replied that ‘we don't jet youn, trees bear much frait,” After a few more remarks the meeting was closed, CITY EVANGELIZATION, Last evening a fair audience gathered in St. Paul’s Methodist church, at the corner of Twenty-second street and Fourth avenue, to continue the movement of city evangolization. On the platform were Rev, Bishop Simpson, Rev. Bishop Jayne, Rov. J, M. King nestor | This number, small compared with of St John’s church; Rev. William Lloyd, pastor of the Washington equare church, and other ministers. The exercises were commenced by winging All bail the power of Jesus! name, which was followed by an earnest prayer from Rev. Mr. Howell, Bishop Simpson then briefly addressed the congregation, saying that the leading cities were the centres of power as well as of civilization, and that in the Bible Paradise was ikened to and temples. It was in these den: that evangelization should properly commence; neglected ones should be cared for and the orphaned ones told of a heavenly love. The eighteenth hymn in Moody and Sankey’s collection was then given out, commencing with the line, “Rescue the perishing.”” Further addresses were made by Rev. Dr. King and Mr. Lioyd, the congregation in the interim ging with good effect, “Hold the Fort.” These services promise good fruit, and there was an expressed desire by many of those tn attendance to give the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episeopal Church material aid and warm support during the coming winter, MOODY AND SANKEY, PROFESSING CHRISTIANS CROWDING IN-—OVER~ FLOWING MEETINGS IN PHILADELPHIA—YES- TERDAXY MORNING'S SERVICE—THE SINNERS’ TURN NOT TO COME UNTIL NEXT WEEK—THE CAR DRIVERS AND CONDUCTORS REMEMBERED, Purapecemta, Nov, 23, 1875, What the effect of the revival is going to be upon the great masses of non-professing Christians cannot be told until next week. All this week will be devoted to professing Christians for the work of evangelization, All the present services are addressed to them, Mr, Moody logically holding that the outside world cannot be expected to come into the fold unless Christian workers will assist him and Mr, Sankey earnestly and heartily, ‘Do not rely upon us,” he says, “or the work will be a failure.” The late Rev. John Chambers’ church, where the morning mectings aro to be held throughout this week, was again crowded this morning, mainly by ladies, not- withstanding the exceedingly disagreeable November weather, Mr. Sankey took his seat at the organ in the singing of the third hymn—“1 need Thee every hour,” Promptly at eight o'clock Mr. Moody appeared upon the platform. He said, “Let us open by singing the eighty-third hymn,” f, Sankey then led in the beautiful aud well known nyinn, Jesus, lover of my soul, Dr, Newton, the Episcopal clergyman, who is with Dr, Cooper, ‘the only minister of that denomination taking any active interest in the revival, then read the requests for prayor. ° Alter Key, Dr, Wylie’s prayer, the congregation, at Mr. Moody's request, joined with Mr, Sankey in singing the last vorse of the cighty-fifth hymn, beginning, Plenteous grace with Thee is found, “PN read the fifty-first psalm,” said Mr, Moody, Then, in his abrupt way, “If we are going to have auy real, deep work here in Philadelphia, it must commence here with us, If L wanted to introduce one man to another I would not do it with them standing a block apart. So it is with us; we must get nearer Christ, I aim more anxious to make all Christians right than those outside, We are the ones to do the work, If wo are right the outside worid will come right.”” PROPESSING CHRISTIANS SHOULD PREPARE themselves for the work of evangelization. It is so hard, he said, for us to keep God unto ourselves that we desire to begin the work of faith right here, and get God to come to us Grst, that we may show to others what we fecl. We must begin the work hore by reading the Scriptures with proper understanding and keep our eyes entirely on God. It has been said Christians are like town clocks—all eyes are turned upon them, and the actions of all who are not Christians guided by them. Now ley all eyes be turned upon us with profit to the beholders. Do not let ; tbe said we do yok look cP our Bibies and agtfons 80 me We (6 upon the work of others. He then discoursed on the frivolous formalities of church people, saying there was too much of adesire to visit church more for the purpose of seeing the fashions than listening to and feeling the Word of God. ‘This is a viper we must cast off like Paul did after he was shipwrecked, when the viper came upon him and he castitintothe fre I fear this viper of formality and gossip that bas crept into the Church more than all the ills of the day, and L wish to cast it olf entirely, Letus pray. Forgive us all our backshdings, O God, and may our love for ‘Thee be strengthened in the future more than it has been in the past, that we may wish at once to go to Thee in tho spirit, After the last verse of ‘‘Nearer, my God, to Thoe” had been sung, MR. GEORGE T. STUART rose and spoke enthusiastically of the prospects of the revival work. Silent prayer followed, after which a stranger, evidently a layman, rose and prayed in tho most fervent manner, being followed by Rev. Dr. Hat- field. Mr. Moody called for the singing of the third and last verses of the ninetieth hymn:— Tleft it all with Jesus, Day by day. Faith can firmly trast Him, Come what er Hope has dropped her anchor, Found her rest In the calm, sure baven ‘Of His breast. Love esteems it heaven ‘To abide at His side. ‘Tho last stanza was sung with espeetal auction and expression by ‘the sweet singer.” 1t was:— O, leave it all with Jesus, ‘Drooping soul. Tell not half thy story, But the whole. Worlds on worlds are hanging On His hand. nd death are waiting and, ‘comm Yet His tender bosom Makes thee room ; O, come home. THR CAR CONDUCTORS. ‘The Rey, W. R Feltwell said that we were told to particularize in our prayers, and he had been thinking about the car conductors and drivers. He had offered some tracts to a conductor, and, justead of being re- pulsed, had been kindly received. He asked that all would jon in a prayer for these poor, hard-worked | class of men. They were often more sinned against than sinning. Mr. Moody, in reply, said that the work here this week must be devoted to ourselves, that we may have the grace and power to go on with the good work with proper spirit, Next week we will devote ourselves to the drivers and conductors of cars, I have found that when we are polite to these men they are always kind and polite in return, 80 that a good way to begin to pray for them is to treat them politely. Another hymn was sung, and promptly at nine o'clock the meeting concluded after a prayer by Dr. McCook. THE EVENING MEETING. Not more than 5,000 peopie were present at the evening service of the revival meetings to-night, the immense multitude that have heretofore crowded into this stupendous structure, was yet a large one, considering the superlatively disagreeable rainy weather, Mr. Moody said that he felt encouraged by such an audience on such a night, “It shows that they are in earnest,” said he, in opening the service, While the assemblage were entering and finding seats, the choir of 300 voices sung familiar hymns, The keynote of Mr, Moody’s sermon was “Work.” It was addressed to church members, and he was earnest and impassioned in his appeals to them, Toward the close the speaker himseli secmed carried away by tho excitement, and from all over the house came hearty cries of “Amen!” in answer to his appeals, His ser- mon evidently had an effect, and in bis prayer after- ward he prayed that God would raise up thousands | from the churches to help in the revival work. He makes constant war on the capital “I” and urges all to sink their own individuality and think only of Christ. The sermon was based upon the siory of the ten talents in the twentieth chapter of Mark, and tho underlying idea was, every man to his work. “We have got to abolish the idea that we come into the churches to rest,” said he, “To every man his own work, Oh, I bave often thought that if I could do justice to that text I should never preach on any other. No one else can do your work; no one else can do mine, To every man God has Uy Ceticat ry man must give count of his stewardship. Saar Sra ‘aul if ons! ify. »” The epeaker shouted these coucluding words in a voice that filled the farthest corner of the hall, and visibly af- fected many in the audience, “It ts your duty to do your work always, at all times, for you know not when the Son of Man will come. Oh, ow many there are in the church who hide their talent! They may be members of churches for years, but when you ask them to work in meetin ey say, “Oh, no, we cannot do that; send some one else." He likened this state of affairs to children who never grow to be men, who never learn to do things, and said that these were dead and {nert Christians. He | urged all to speak and work for the Master, and hiscon- clusion was a burst of natural and unstudied eloquence, He told many affecting little stories, and for the first time since the mectings hero was occasionally humor- ous. After the service a youn held at Dr. Hatield’s chure! . men’s prayer meeting was REVIVAL IN PORT JERVIS. Port Jervis, Nov. 23, 1875, The greatest religious revival that has ever been wit essed in this section is now in progress in the churches of this village, Over 600 persons have been converted during the past few weeks, and the work still continues, RAID ON LIQUOR DEALERS, The police of Jersey City have commenced active hostilities against liquor dealers who bave John Cahill, Philip White, Patrick Gorman and Owen Markey woro brought before Justice Keese, in the First rics Police Court, yesterday.

CROWDED MEETING IN COOPER INSTITUTE— ADDRESSES FROM MR, LUBY AND OTHER NATIONALISTS, Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a very large audience assembled at Cooper Institute last night to commemorate the anniversary of the Manches- ter martyrs and hear addresses from some of the leading Irish nationalists, They were also called to pronounce their judgment on the merits of the home rule move- ment in Ireland as set forth by Mr. O'Connor Power in his recent lectures and by several of the leading men in that movement in their public utterances lately, Nearly all the men who have taken an active part in the late Irish revolutionary movement, both in Ireland and America, were present either on the platform or in the body of the hall, and, from that point of view, it was the most truly representative gathering that has taken place in this city since the times of the Fenian excitement, Among those present wero Clarke Luby, Jeremiah ©’ Donovan Thomas F. Bourke, Dr. Denis caby, Harry § Mulleda, Colonel John Healy, Colonel James Moran, Colonel Thomas J. Kelly, Mortimer Moynahan, John O’Connor, General F. F. Millen, John O’Mabony, Captain Thomas M, Costello, Michael Breslin, Lieutenant N. Breslin, Captain Ed, Murtagh, Garrett O'Shaughnessy, James O'Callaghan, John Kirwan, William Curry and many other promi nent men of the party, General F. F. Millen occupied the chair, and in a brief address stated the object which had brought the meeting _ together. He then introduced Mr. Thomas Clarke Luby, who made along and eloquent address, He said they’camo there to do honor to the principles of the Manchester martyrs as much as to their memory, and condemned in the strongest terms the policy pursued by the pres- ent home rule movement He characterized 1t as un- satisfactory and unsafo whether looked at from an Eng- lish or an Irish point of view. Above all he con- Thomas Rossa, Dowling Mul- demune the action ot advanced nationalists in going into Parliament and in seeking to divert the people from the one true path to independence—that followed by Tone and Emmot, by Davis, Mitchel and the men who died on the scaffol in Manchester. He referred at great length to the re- cent lectures of Mr. O'Connor Power, and condemned the doctrines enunciated therein in scathing language. At the conctusion of his speech, which was frequently applauded throughout, he proposed the following series ol resolutions, which were adopted unanimously :— THE RESOLUTIONS, Resolved, That it is the unalterable senso of this meetin that the sole ipenceiee) way by which Lrishmen at home eat abroad can give freedom and prosperity to thelr country ayd elevate thelt race is by a firm and undeviating adherence to the principles of thorough Irish national Wiauescenes those principles for whioh the Manchester martyrs, O’Brien, Allen and Larkin, suffered gloriousty on the scaffold on the memorable 230 of November, 1887, Resolved, That the teachings of the actal home rule movement in Ireland have latterly had a decided tendency to lead the Irish people astray from the one true road wo Lre- land's regeneration, Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting the lectures fespecialiy the last one) recently delivered in this hal by one of the most prominent members of the bome ale party were, from beginning to end, nothing less than ‘covert attack on the cause of Irish national independence, insidiously strik- ing at the root of the revolutionary policy of total separation from England, and insinuating, as a substitute for the true creed of Irish manhood, a pitiful revival of the craven aud demoralizing system of parhamentary agitation, Re: |, That we, who are assembled at the present baving no faith whatever in the possibility of re- bE Treland's freedom through th se of the British Legisiature, are resolved to repudiate with scorn all fc jitation, and to abide faithfully firmly by the principles for which Allen, Larkin and O'B: died on the scaffold in Manchester. General Thomas F. Bourke, Dr. Mulcahy, O’Donovan Rossa and others addressed the meeting in support of the resolutions, after which the assemblage dispersed. 0 meeting, of parliamentary rien POLICE CAPTAINS. CAPTAINS ULMAN AND VAN DUSEN FINED FOR DERELICTION OF DUTY—CAPTAIN WILLIAMS SELL AND DISBECKER. tral Department of Police yesterday that something of importance agitated the minds of the Commissioners, For over three hours the members of the Board sat in solemn council, with closed doors, earnestly debating upon some subjects, the nature of which could only be guessed at The usual hour for holding the regular public mecting came and passed; but etill the Commissioners remained locked up; still the object of their deliberations continued a mystery, Anxious inquirers walked up and down the corridors reasoning out the cause of the Commis- conclusion that at last the Governor had been heard from, and that the officials’ heads so long sought for by the municipal executioner were even then lying in the gory basket, Others scouting such a theory averred that Disbecker was on the war path after the scalp of General Smith, complicated by the action of Commissioners Matsell and Disbecker, who together left the council room and proceeded across town to the west side, leaving Com- In an hour the; the great relief of the reporters, the doors were thrown open and the proceedings commenced, Matkell was jayful and pleasant; Disbecker cool oorhis wise and mysterious; Smith stern aud silent, OAPTAIN ULMAN FINED. After the transaction of considerable routine business Mr, Matsell convulsively seized a bundle of papers lying on his desk, and, holding them aloft, said:—“In the sae of Captain Ulman, of the Tenth’ precinct, I move that he be fined thirty days’ pay for neglect of duty. to break up the gambling house No. 105 Bowery, and the question was put, all the Commissioners voting in the alfirmative. VAN DUSEN’S CASE. The case of Captain Van Dusen, of the Fifteenth pre- cinet, against whom the charge was failure to break up a gambling house at No. 135 Eighth street, was simi- infliction of a thirty days’ fine. In voting in the | affirmative Commissioner Voorhis desired to say that | it was with pain he cast bis vote. He had long known Captain Van Dusen as a faithful officer, an officer whose Tecord was not surpassed for fidelity to duty by that | of any member of the department Both cases were paraliel. No evidence had been adduced to show criti | nality on the part of either of the captains, Their | conduct in the premises could only be termed “culpa- | ble negligence.” It was the duty of each captain to | personally patrol his precinct, and he should ve held | to the strictest accountability for all disreputable places existing therein. 1t was no excuse for a captain | to plead that he visited suspicious places once a week ; | he should’ inspect them once a day. He jhould know all the doings and all the places of resort of the criminal classes, He (Voorhis) looked upon | gamblers as criminals, and as such they should be in- cessantly watched. Mr. Matsellwas about to resume the consideration of routii ters when Commissioner Smith, in a low tone, asked if the Williams case was not to be called up. ‘This was evidently the event of the day, as the sudden revival of interest plainly indicated. Mr, Matsell by ag that he was not yet ready to vote.

Commissioner Smith, however, in- sisted on its being disposed of, and Mr. Voorhis made the motion that Captain’ Williams, of the Fourth preinct, be dismissed from the depart- ment, In voting ‘no’ Mr. Matsell said he was to be his 6, faithfal officer. | duty.

But the present ever overwhelms the past when it \s a question of dealing with both at the same time in celebrations, and it is to be feared that, amid. the festivities of the day as a thanksgiving festival and a day of family gathering, the glorious dead past, when the British troops left this city never to set foot in it again, will be allowed to bury its dead, Tho Veterans of 1812 will parade and have a banquet at the expense of one of the city regiments.
