, .. UPATll LECTURES IN NEW YORK •.

The lifst 'of a series of lectures upon the sub­ject of the Sabbath, b&fore the New York Sab­bath T~act Society, w~,s delivered by Rev. TnoMAs B. BROWN, on Sunday evening last, at the Seventh-clay Baptist Chapel in E1:venth­atre!t. It was ~n ,able effort, and was listened to by a numerous and attentive audience.

The speaker statell distinctly in the outset, that his object was to show that the first day of the week is not the Sabbath of the Bible-that on the contrary the seventlt clay is still, as it al­ways was, .. the Sllbbath of the Lord thy God." Ho intended also to show, not only that Sunday is not the Sabbath, but that it is not even a sa­cred dny in nny sense. The Scriptures never call it the Sabbath, nor even the Lord's day, The application of the latter term to the first lIay of the week by the generality of Christians, ,is entirely gratuitous. That the" old fathe~s" made such an application of the term was acl­mitted, but it was merely conjecture on their. part that John intended by it the first day of tho week. Theil' conjectures, howevcr,

, 800n assumed the air of confidence, and theY' , finally asserted it dogmatically. It became at length very popular to speak of the Sunday as the Lord's day; 'but in'the lapse of time even this term, wi:h all its apparent sacredness, be­came insufficient to secure for the day the honor

, that somo desired for it. The Puritans thero­fore invented the term" Christian Sabbath," in Qrqer that they might with some show of pro­p~iety bring the fourth commandment to bear up$ it, .and at the same' time endeavored to cast a stigma upon the seventh day by calling it tq,e " Jewish Sabbath." Thus, terms were in­vented that are found 110 where in God's Book, nJ?r are the ideas implied by them Bible ideas; ail which would be shown more fully in the pro­gress of the lectures. If then the Scriptures never call the first day of the week the Sabbath, nor even the Lord's day, it i~ thus left witllOUt any 'name to designate its sacred character.

Gt And if, said the speaker, the Holy Spirit has left inhere, why cannot man leave it there? If God, who se,es the end from the beginning, has not seen fit to guard the day with some

! name expressive of its sacredness, why should man attempt it 1 Has God left his work for man to mond 1 But as if the Ah~ighty had

proved too feeble for the mighty odds against them. The Sunday festival was re­:tained" an~ by. the gr.e,at mass of Christians is yet retained. This, however, is in accordance with prophecy, that "times and laws were to be giv!l!l into the hands of the man of sin un­til a time, and times, and the dividing of timit." Until the fulfilment of that period, we must ex­pect to mourn over the wide-spread profanation of God's holy day. The lecturer, however, ex­pressed his conviction, that among aU the pro­fessed followers ot Christ, there were at least some chosen spirits who would, upon obtaining a knowledge of their duty, stand forth as wit­nesses for God's I,aw.

Such are the decisions of the "Third Assembly of Rabbies," which embraced twenty·six dis­tinguished doctors and scholars of the Jewish persuasion. It will be seen that, on the, one hand, they modify some of those traditionary regulations which have made the Sabbath a burden instead of a delight. On the other hand, they give no countenance to those who would make the Sabbath a mere matter of con­venience, and would change the day of its ob­servance from the seventh to the first day of the week without authority. A party in Frank­fort, (who have obtained some notOliety in this country by their proposition to change the day of the Sabbath,) have published a circular dis­claiming all connection with the Assembly; re­proaching the Rabbies for aspiring to hierarchal authority, and censuring them particularly "for theirrdits£!l to defer the Sabbath to the Sunday." But their number is small, and they are regarded by the Israelites generally as more Infidels than

THE JEWISH RABBlES A:IID THE SABBATII. Many of our readers are aware, that a number'

of distinguished German Rabbies have estab­lished what they c~ll an Assembly, to .'meet yearly, for the purpose of discussing ally and all questions of interest to the Jewish people. Their third meeting was held at Breslau in July last, and continuell eloyen days. The most im­portant question which was brought under con­sideration related to the proper observance of the Sabbath, and in the discussion of this ques­tion fiVe days were occupied. The difficulty seemed to be, to reconcile the strictness of the ruies laid down by Jewish authorities for keep­ing th", Sabbath, with the discharge by Jews of the duties which they owe to the State and each

other. There was one party, calling themselves the

Some, who feel sensible of the embarrassment which the ob-servance of Sunday involves, in view of the ex­press declaration of the fomth commandment, " the seventl. day is the Sabbath," nevertheless justify themselves in their conrse by setting forth the GREAT FAGT that the first day is observed. They will nevertheless aamit, that if the scvcntlt day were generally observed, it would be more consistent with the tenor of holy Scripture.

101' t e aSls 0 theIr arguments, and mamtamed let us admit that not only the Apostles, but Christ himself, was the author of the institution. If then the first day of the week be required as a day of religious worship to commemorate the resurrection (If Christ, it can be required of those only who are interested in that fact-those only, at most, who belieu in the resurrection. This institution is, then, to the resurrection of Christ, what the II Lord's Supper" is to the deatll of Christ. They must both, from analogy, belong to the CHURCH, and be for the observance only of its members, or of those who are of the faith of Christ's resurrection; for what benf'fit can result from the celebration of the resurrec­tion, to such as are not benefitted by the cele­bration of the death of Christ, Hence it may be affirmed, that whosoever participates in the celebration of the II Lortl's day" unworthily, or withont faith, SECURES DAMNATION TO HIS OWN SOUL. Will this doctrine do to teach the heathen ~ Yet it is what must inevitably follow, if the premi~es be consistently maintained. To us, however, it is but one of many proofs, that TRADITION is the real and only foundation of Sunday observance. At present this will suffice 011 this point. Now to the Sabbath. Who are interested in the work of creation 1 Are not all mankind 1 Can the celebration of this work be confined to the church 1 \Vhat has it to do with the members of the church, more than with the rest of mankind 1 It is true, that the insti­tution affords an opportunity for the church to perform the work of evangelizing the world, hy causing a suspension oflabor among all the world for this very purpose. This is a circumstance which shows the wisdnm of its institution. To the church it is a privilege; but God enjoins it upon all as a Law, to disobey which is SIN, as well for the Heathen as the Christian-as well for the Christian as for the Jew. The heathen must he made acquainted with this fact, that tbey may know their sin in this, as well as in the transgression of the othel' nine precepts of God's Law, and thus be able to appreciate the GRACE of Christ, which comes for their deliver­ance through the Gospel. If Sunday observ­ance be a church institution, let it stand upon its own foundation for what it is worth. THE SEVENTH DAY IS ~HE SABBATH; let it be pro-

WRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE. On Wednesday and Thursday of last week a

storm of unprecedented severity visited the sea­board, which occasioned great anxiety in New York for the safety of the steamboats on Long Island Sound. The worst fears were more than realized on Friday evening, by infurmation re­ceived of the total wreck of the magnificent steamer Atlantic,.and the loss of her captain,

riWith between thirty and forty of her passengers and crew. It seems that the Wednesdayafter­noon passengers from Boston, reached Allyn's Point about midnicrht when the Atlantic started o , with them for New York. Soon after leaving New London, the storm in~reased, and the wind

At Pouilly, 1,700 pieces (hogsheads) of wine of the country and of Beaujolis, had been carried away by the floods. The well in the Loire began to be felt at N autes on the 21st, but the authorities had cautioned the inhabitants residing along its banks against its consequences, and no accident had as yet occurred. The Allier and the Loire, at their junction, became an immense sea. 1,-400 lahorflrs engaged in the construction of the railroad, would have inevitably perished, had not provisions been sent to them by a steamboat,

After this the gale confinued to increase, and blew a perfect hurricane. She was driven still nearer the shore, b\1t passed a point that all expected she wuuld strike upon. She then drifted about eleven miles more, making in all twenty.two miles,.which occu.pied about fo;ty­eight hours of terrIble uncertall1ty and suffermg. She then stl'llck, stern first, on a ledge of rocks on Fisher's Island, wheu a tremendous sea seemed to lift her up to the very top of the ledge; so far, indeed, as almost to throw her over on to the other side. This was the crisis in the disaster; it was terrible and heart-rend­ino- in the extreme. In five minutes after she I!t;uck she was in pieces. In these five minutes at least one-half of those on board the Atlantic were taken from time into eternity. Some were drowned, some cl'llshed, and some frozen to death, The screams, the crash, the roar, of the Baa, were dreadful.

There were six females, foUl children, and two infants among the passengers. All the females weTe drowned or crushed to death. Only one of the children was sa,'ed, and he wa; the only one saved of the family of which he was a member. His father, mother, man-ied sister, and a youngen sister, and two young brothers, were on board; all are dead. The poor little orphan thus saved, and thus thrown alone on the world, is only twelve years of age. The two infants were drowned, frozen, or crushed to death.

The following it.ems are collected from the

daily papers :- ,

Among the lost were several whose deaths will be widely and painfully lamented, especial­ly Rev. Mr. Armstrong and Dr. Hassler of the Navy.

Rev. Wm. J. Armstrong, whose name is among the lost, was one of ~h~ secretaries of ~he American Bom J of CommiSSIOners for ForeIgn Missions. We learn that he conducted religi­ous service on board the Atlantic on Thut:l!day. He leaves a wife and five children residing in this city. He was a native of MenC!ham, N. J., but was at one time the settled Pastor of a Pres­byterian Church in Richmond, Va.

The boJy of Capt. Dustan was brought. to the city and taken to State? Island, wher~ hIS fam­ily, a wife and five chIldren, one an IDfa~t, re­sides-all of wllOm were dependent on hiS ex­ertions for support, The an-ivaI of his body was the first intelligenc'e received of his untimely fate. I

A Mr. Partridge had in his company a Miss Jordan, who was coming to the city on a visit to his wife, All his exertions to save her were

fru1'tless, in the last of which he nearly lost his own life. He escaped to the shore by swim­ming, having first divested himself of his clothes, with the exception of his shirt and pantaloons. The body of Miss Jordan was recovered, and has been conveyed to Boston, tluder the care of Mr. Partridge.

The passengern and crew Bllffered intensely from the cold, and could only keep themselves from getting utterly benumbed and helpless by wrapping themselves in blankets and walking about the boat.

Much of the prope,rty thrown overboard was very valuable-among the rest, it is said, was $7,000 worth of plate, and from $6,000 to $8,000 worth of lace belonging to a passenger.

The Atlantic is supposed to be insured for about $70,000. The machinery will probably be saved in good order. All who struck/he

, beach W€lIe saved, those who struck the rocks were killed-boats, planks, and life-preservers Were of no use.

The Atlantic had on board a draft for $35,000 from the United States on some Massachusetts bank.

Hon. Daniel Webster and Judge William Xeut were passengers from Boston on 'V ednes-

1:1ay, and were prevented taking passage in the Atlantic by th~ appearance of the weather.

• A TALE OF SORRow.-About six months ago,

, a widow lady came to this city from the State of Maine; she was the mother of five children, four of whom she brought with her when she came. Her chief purpose in coming here was to find employment for her family, whereby they m~ght obtain a comfortable living and enjoy the comfolts of home. About three months after taking up her residence bere, her youngest Qaughtel', about nineteen years of age, was taken sick and died; in the following week, a

Capt. Barstow, of packet ship Cambridge, of New York, has received through the hands of Mr. Buchanan, Secretary of State, a gold medal, with the portrait of Queen Victoria, which llad been forwarded to the British minister at 'V ash­ington, by order of the British Government. The medal is given to Capt. Barstow as an acknowledgement of his services in saving the lives of the crew of the British bark '~ord. Lynedock.'

Beatty's powJer mill~, situated about seven miles from Baltimore, were blown tip on Mon· day morning, and the report thereof was so heavy as to shake the city of Baltimore, and to break many of the glass windows. Three large buildings were shattered in fragments over ten acres of ground, Of five men who were in th€l mill, nothing can be found but fragments, some of which were found 100 yards from the place. The quantity of powder exploded, was about 5,000 Ibs.

A notorious blackleg was anested on Tues­day morning, upon whose person was found a fine velvet vest, in tIle front part of which, be­tween the outside and lining, was a thin tin case, opening with a spring, which contained a number of playing cards. It was so construct­ed that the contents could be easily extracted without being noticed, dming the operation of play. -

Mr. George Youngson, editor of the Pitts­burgh Despatch, has been mulcted in $100 for assault and battery, and being unable to pay it, was compelled to go to jail. He is accompanied by L. Y. Clark, a canier of the Journal, con­victed of libel also, and fined $125. It appears that Clark libelled Youngson, who took satis­faction ont of his hide, and hence the suit.

A certain Unitarian SocietyJrof Boston are .ttbout building a new church, and the building c'ommittee addressed a communication to a cr.aebrated architect of New York city, asking liim to furnish a plan for a church edifice, and to superintend the building of the same. Ten days after, an answer was received from him, in whicb he said that he coulJ not conscieutious­ly attend to it, because the building is to be used for Unitarian worship.

A gentleman wlites from Rochester that the Railroad Company being restricted from carry­ing flour while the navigation of the canal con­tinues, have made al'l'angements fi)r storing flour free of charge until the canal closes, and then transport it at a cheaper rate than it is done by the canal.

An English paper mentions an instance of recent occurrence, in which a cat tbat had been put into a sack and carried from Innerleither to Edinburg, a distance of thirty miles, over moun­tains and fields, succeeded after a few weeks in finding her way back to her former residenc'e.

The troubles at Nauvoo are not yet appeased. Some anti-Mormon women recently called on Gov. Ford at the Nauvoo temple to give him a lecture upon his duties. He declined to see them, and they departed, leaving a package for the Governor, in which was enclosed a petti­coat. The female trophy was calTied outside to the windward of the city, and three negroes, hired for the occasion, burned it with due hon-

ly gashed throat, with the blood streaming from it, staring him in the face-and he beeTS tor his immediate execution. 0

Mr. Williams, of the Georgia Reo-iment, in a letter to his father, dated Monterey, October 11, says: "The ranks of our regiment have been terribly thinneJ. \Ve marched across the Chat­ahoochee river with nine hundred and ten offi­cers and men, and to-day the regiment, all told, barely numbers six hundred, anJ hardly that. Though we have discharged many from sickness and disability-still we ha\·e deposited nearly seventy beneath the chapporal in the short space of four months."

Five hundred people in a church, during two hours, give ofl' fifteen gallons of water into the air; which, if not carried away, saturates every thing in the building, after it has been breathed over and over agalll, in conjunction with the impurities collected from each individual. The effects of neglect in carrying out plans for ventilation, are shown in the plOduction of three of the [most frequent and formidable diseases which affect the human race.

Hon. James Pendergast died in the town of Carrol, Chatauque Co., on the 15th, in the 83d year of his age. Judge P. was one of the earliest pioneers of Chautauque, having been a resident of that Connty for more than forty years, and was always distinguished for great energy, purity and amiability of character.

JOHN RANDODPH. A few years before the death ?f Mr .. R., ~e

It so ha~pened that as he passed along the Pennsylva?Ia avenue h? fell into company with Edward St~bler, a~ emlnent minister of the Sodety of Fl'lends, w:th whom be' was acqllainted. As they we.re passl.ng along the street, they met a wagon mto whICh we:e crowded a number of colored women and chll­dl'en followed by twenty or thirty colored men, hand.cuffed amI chained together, and gllarqe.d by two armed white men on horseback. TIns spectacle, coming as it did suddellly c before them, produced a strong sensation ir~ them both, and they involuntarily stopped ~nt!l the whole had ]Jassed without a word bemg spoken by either of them. After a short pause, Edward Stabler remarked: "This is a shocking specta­cle to be exhibited here, almost under the sbadow of the capitol of the United States I We profess to be the advocates of E\qual rights, and claim to be the first people in the world, and yet we here see before us a number of our fellow-men, without havillg c(lmmitted any breach of the laws, or being charged with any offence whatever, chained like condemned crim­inals, and driven uncleI' the very eyes of the national Legislature like beasts to, market!

Napoleon, confessedly the most consummate commander that ever lifted the sword, who, by his t!!ptics, out-generaled all Europe, had a strictfregard to the pieces of music which were played among the soldiery on particular occa­sions. Certain tunes were at times pro!libited ; others used only under peculiar circumstances; and others again, reserved for the final charge­retained, perhaps, only to be let loose with the reserve corps; and it is stated that in makillg the famous passage of the Alps, uuder circum­stances the most appalling and dreadful, if the soldiers at allY time hesitated in their march, he orclered the bugles to sound their liveliest notes; and if the obstacle was so great as to bring them to a dead halt, the wlI'lle band were or­dered to peal furth the" charge to battle ;" which never failed to bear them ovel' the most formid­able difficulties.
