Tbc Devotion ol (he Forty Honrs In honor
f the Classed Sacrfltnnt is one of the mogt
eoieren and edityins: iu me ceremonial of the
Uatholic Church. It was first introduced in
Milan, in 1534, In memory of the forty hours
ta which the sacred body of our Lord rcpo"d
in the sepulchre. The pious practice afterwards
spread to other cities of Italy, and by the in
Mromentality .of St. 1'nilip Xeri, was cele
brated at Rome, especially, with much
oicmnity, A. I). 151N, in the Church of
the Most Holy Trinity ot the Pil
grims, on .the first Sunday of every
month, and A. D. 1561, on every third
. ttanday of the month, in the Church of the
Blessed Virgin Mary of Prayer. In other
churches also this pious exercise was practise. I,
'that the devotion of the laithful towards this
Moet Holy Sacrament might be satisdcd.
-Finally, in the jear 1592,; Clement VIII., in his
Constitution (Graves el dtutemce), seeking a
heavenly remedy lor the public calamities ot the
.:hurch, ordained that fbie devotion ot the Forty
Hours, bepinninif from the tirst Sunday ol Ad
vent, on which day It would be celebrated every
year in me cnnpei vi iuc jj.poBiuin; puiucc, snoutil
proceed from one church of the city ot'ltowe to
Miother successively, so that through toe whole
course of the year the faithful should bo able
to visit somewhere their Lord in the Most Holy
fctacrament, exposed to public veneration, and
ttueulu embrace the occasion of pouring forth
their prayers day and night before Him, and of
iravine His mercy in their necessities. Tbe
same Pontiff conceded, morever, many indul
.'cncies to all the laithfui who should pray de
voutly beiore the Most Holy Sacrament thus
exposed. Ptpe Paul V contirnied tne same, and
made them perpetual.
The Indulpences which may be gamed bv the
Catholic laithtul duxinir this pious devotion of
the Forty Hours are as follows:
fust. A pU nary indulgence to thoe who.
after confession and Holy Communion, devoutly
visit, lor a becoming space of time, the c'lurcti
where the Moft Holy Sacrament is exposed.
Second. A partial indulgence ot ten jenrs,
and as many quarantines to those who visit tiie
rbnrcb in which the Mot Holy Sacrament is
exposed, with a tirni resolution to make a good
t onltseion, to be pained every lime they make
Fuch visit. Both of these indulgences may be
applied by way of surtraare to the souls in purga
tory, according to the rescript of Pope Pi VII.
The following Document of the communica
tion of the Indulgences from the present Pope,
Puis IX, and preserved in the archives of the
Bishop ot Philadelphia, will prove interesting:
'Most Holy Father: John N. Kowman, Bishop
I l'biladeiph'a, liuuibly prays that vour doiinoas
will be o e-ed to Kraut to him tne Communication
Tt the ictiu'gencea conceded to the ch niches ot
Kumn tortile Forty Hours' Devotion. This Dovo
tion nag lor two years pat" been celebrated in Ins
IHoctso with great to cuinity and concourse ol the
lailb'.ui."
To this the following reply wa? received:
"In an audience, hold July 22, 1855, bis Holiness,
I j lJiTino l'rovidenco Pope i iua IX at my instance,
utt Secretary ot the 1'iopananda, granted tne graci;.

"Ah. Uarnabo, Stcretary.
" The devotion was commenced yesterday morn
iiiU at St. Jlichacl'6 Catholic Chmch, Second
street, above Master, one of the handbomcst
church ediiices in Philadelphia. The conereira
tioL attending was unusually lare, and the
attar and sanctuary presented a mngniticent ap
peaiance. The sucied host reclined thereon,
aiid was surrounded by Mowers and many burn
ing tapers.
At 10i o'clock solemn High Mass was cele
brated by Rev. T. VV. Powers, ussistcd by Rev.
P. A. Treacy (late of SU Michael's), as Deacon;
and Mr. Rowan, of the Semiiury, as Sub
Lieacon. The sermon was preached by Rev. Maurice A.
Walsh, Pastor ol St. Michael's Church, from the
following text:
"At that time, when Jesus entered Into the boat,
Bis disciples followed Him. And behold a great
tempest arose in tne sea, ao that the boat was
covered with waves; but He was aslep. And they
eame to Him, (and awakened Him, saying, Lord,
ave ns, we perish. And Jeens sayein to them,
Way are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then
rising up, He commanded the winds and the sea,
and tbere came a great calm iiut the men won
dered, saying, What manner of man is tois, ior the
wind and the aea obey nim V'St. Matthew vui,
U8-27.
I The speaker said: To the vain Christian, to the
uafidel, to the lukewarm Catholic, the scene pre
sented here to day may teem strauge. More
than the ordinary number of lights are upon
the altar other decorations manifesting tne
authority of the high priest, and incense going
up tbe priests decked in their most cootly robes,
altogether tell that a lestival of more than ordi
nary importance is being celebrated here to-day;
and so it is, beloved friends. The festival of
"Forty Hours' Devotion," a special ?race given
by Almighty Cod Himself to all.ofLvou, wheu He
condescended to come Irora heaven above, and
to be in your midst for the space of forty hours.
The Forty Hours' Devotion is an old Institution.
It was instituted at Milan, in the year 1534. It
was introduced into Rome about eighty-two
years afterwards by the great modern Apostle
Saint Philip, and framed that same year by
pope Clement VIII. Of all the festivals we
celebrate, there is none like the Forty Houra'
Ievotion. We celebrate some divine festivals,
such as the Nativity ot our Divine Lord, when
every Christian heart turns almost involunta
rily towards tbe Lord. We celebrate
His Resurrection. We celebrate the fes
tivals ot the Blest-ed Virgin. What are all these
festivals without the blessed sacrifice r If we
only thiDk for a moment, we will be struck
with the greatness and the dignity of that most
66rable sacrifice.
'Only to think, tbatfJGod Himself, who created
everything; who created us; who sustains the
world; who gives us the ptesenc life and exist
ence, and everything we have-to think that He
comes to ua in the humble form of bread and
wine, is the most astounding and astonishing of
alllmiracles. Our blessed e'aviour was boru in
an humble condition of life, and like unto the
rest of mankind; growing up from boyhood to
Hianb.ood-boy-od ana man-god-and then suf
fering and dying on the cross to redeem and
save us; but He said, "Before He went to
Heaven, He would leave us a pledge:' and that
gjedge was no other than His sacred boay and
When person are about to die they mean
what they say. They make what is generally
called a testament, or last wUl, declaring their
laat words to their friends, whom they are
about to leave. They are very anxious that
. the will hall be properly settled, and that those
words shall be lully and truly understood by
the persona whom they leave behind. If, be-
loved friends, TOch Is the manner of transacting
business here below among mankind, how
much more anxlona thA Ron of God must have
been when He vu about to go up to Heaven
. Himself for the love nt ha wm-lri t
Uefoie he was crueuw h railed to bis apos

into his hand. He blessed, and brake, and
gave to His dV'llin, and told them, "Hat jou
all of thia, for this is my body."
There was no Beuro hero. There was no
fie tire ander the sun. because the Son of Ood
Himself always spoke the truth; and even when
He poke in parable. He took care to explain
all those parables to li s disciples. Is it posi
ble. or is it probable, that He would deceive
thtm? He said tin to them, Do this in com
memoration ot me. tsacrince should be onwa
Irom the riflng to the going down of the sun.
The Holy Communion is the life of the soul.
"1 am the living bread," fays our Divine Lord.
"Thev that take of me shall live lotvvcr." "For
my nh is treat indeed, and mv blood is drink
incVcd.' "He that taketh worthily of my bodv,
and drinketh mv blood worthily, shall have It'e
everlasting." Cod's blood t gm-n for the exist
ence ot man ct all ages. It ts culled In tn
Knglish Church the sacred banquet. In which
Christ in received, and the memory ol Ilts com
passion is revived. .
In all ages bread and wine havo been the sup.
l orts ot men. And Chr1t knewMw tho natural
wppelitisol men ten Jed, o He left Himself in
tni.t inrm htr-h would b ) acceptable to every
body, nml which wa also nccrss.blo to every-
DOav, the bUlll UK' lorui i ""u wiui-. idis
mot adorab e sa:rament i the foundation of
ail nnr unh. If von t.ako awny the most a lorn.
1,1c nr.rnncnt frcm the Culholic Church, what
rpnifllnt i Von have tie church, the wails, mid
the roof nothing else. Ho priests, no sacra
ment, it is useii uie source irom wnich bap
tism derives its etlicacy. as well as all other
sacraments.
Without the sun there would be no vegeta
tion. iothing would grow; all would die, even
weourelves. So in the church where tiere it
not a blessed Sacrament the churcathat has
rot that treasure is no church God Is not in
that chinch; but where the blessed Hacrament
s there God Himself i.s there is where Curlst
s every celestial blessing and haopiuess.
The most adoraMo sacritice is therefore for
the support of ocr souls, as blood is the support
of the linn an body. It there is no blood in
the human body, and no action of the iienrt,
then the person ceases to live. So also if the
blessed Sacrament is not in ih" Church, the
Church erases to live. Life everlasting is hap
piness tls"lf, and he that taketh worthily of tho
most adorable Sacrament shall have life ever
lasting. How many a poor one ot this world, trudging
along, weary ot the paths of this life, would
have fainted on the way and become dsolat,
had not this most holy sacrifice been made in
the Churchjto refresh them when melancholy
stems to surround tbem. What Is it that helps
men's souls to Heaven ? Only the worthy recep
tion of the most adorable sacrifice. When in
youth; w hen we are good and holy, and when
we do not know sin, w hat a befitting receptacle
is the hour ct childhood for the blessrd sacri
tice! As we advance iu life and fall into nin,
v. e become, reconciled to Almighty God b? an
other sacrament, and we receive the Holy Com
munion as the pledge that we shall live forever
in the ways of Almighty God.
The Lord said. "Come unto mo all ye that nre
weary, and I will relrcsh yoj." Refresh all of
you who are in sin, wbo feel the burden of lite;
ail of you who have been for a lon time away
irom jour home, journeying. You need re
ircehment. tied Himself Is the author ot tlii,
who paid "Let there be light, and there was
lijiht; let, the earth be made, and the earth was
made." To be refreshed, you mast come to
Him.
Wre read in the fourth verse of the nineteenth
chapter of the First Book of Kings, that the
Prophet Klias, fleeing from tbe wrath of Jeze
bel, came, after a day's journey, and sat down
under a tree to sleep, and the Anei of the
Lcrd appealed to him, and gave him sume
bread, by w hich be was re'mucd, and was ena
bled to proceed on the long joorncy he h1
beiore bim. No k. beloved lrlcnds, our condi
tion is just the same. ' We are on a pilgrimage,
and hence we uie refreshed by tbe hody and
blood nuiUoul and divinity of Jesus Curst.
In the Gospel fcr to-day you see that our
Suviour 1? represented as entering a ship gotm;
along with Hit disciples, und that n storm arose,
and that they were nearly submerged iu tne
deep; that they came anil woke iliui up, and
that He told them to fear not: "Why have you
so little faith?" We, too, are travelling, beloved
triend?, in the ship ot the Catholic Church.
Sometimes there is danger of our submersion in
the waters the waters of sin. Sometimes mere
is danger that we bo lost; but we must be liks
the dtsctples, come to our Lord, an.l cry out,
"Lord, save us, or c perish." We must perish
inevitably if we continue in in; and having
now so in any opportunities when our Lord is
here unionist you, jou would be very foolish to
let tins time pass oy. He may never come again.
A great many who were here a year ago are
now iu the sweet sleep of Deuce.
Many of tboe wbo have gone to their homes
have made good use of the opportunities ex
tended to them by the Catholic Church. It Is
well with ihem; but if they have not, they theio
sclves are responsible. My beloved trleuds, you
too are responsible tor youiselves: and if you
do not accept the opportunities, you will have to
auswer lor it. it jou oo accept thein, the Lord
will strengthen you to approach the holy com
munion table, where all shall ba refreshed, and
living this lile worthily, you know thereward
life everlastini', and the Lord himselijshall raUe
you up the last day, and you will receive tne re
wards tbat He has promised to all those who
faithfully scrvedlllitn.
The Services After the Sermon.
The service was sung by a powerful choir, of
great excellence, and many parts of the Mass
"were moet espiessively and elfectivelv given.
The "Gloria in ExcelsLs." "Qui Solhs," "Pleni
Sunt Citli ft Terra-," and "Dona flJoins Paccm,"
were admirably sung, and reflected much credit
upon the solo executants, especially the Misses
K. and T. Keenau, soprano and contralto; Philip
li'oore, tenor; and G. Antonl, busso profundi.
The choral lorce was also remarkably good, the
voices harmonizing well.
We observed in the choir many Pluladel-
paians well knowu to musical lame, among
them being M. Durand, of Signor Perelli's
Italian Opera Company; Proiefsor Schiimer,
baritone; Professors. W. Budd, lormer tenor
of St. Mark's Fpiscopal Church; Loreuzo
Ouike. oi St. Peter's: Ilcrr Muenster. basso, of
the Jewish Temple "Keueseth Israel;" M'ss M.
C. tilers, ot the iiLcniogs opera Troupe, and
many others. JUts Agues abu presided with
much ability at tbe organ, and the accompani
ment was well and regularly performed.
The entire musical department was under tho
direction of Thomas E. Harkins. Ko.. leader of
St. Michael's choir, and to him principally is
tne aueuumg cuuuicauou in yesteruay in
debted for this very" creditable rendition of
superb Catholic Church music.
The Evening Services.

Dr. lmiatius Horstmanu, a newly oniained
priest from Rome, and at present one of the

rascality and Impudence beyond his are, ciillel
for and ate a stew nt an oyster saloon In Port

the att ndaut reminded him that he had not

"and I've got no nionev.'' "Why did vou not
tell tne that before you called for i be stew ?"
"Oh," replied the boy with much nonchalance,
"I tried that atAtood'f, but it wouldn't work;"
and thereupon departed with great apparent
satisfaction.
A thunderbolt from a perfectly cloudless
cky struck a church and three dwelling-houses
at Rising Sun, Indiana, a few days ago. it
killed a girl outright and stripped all the clothes
Irom a boy, whom, strange to say, it ouly
stunned. A more remarkable electrical phe
nomenon has rarely occurred.

SPECIAL DBBPATOR TO VJU0 TCLVOHAPH.
Baltimors, November 6, 1'30 P. M. At 1-20
o'clock, tbe affidavits of Mossrt. 8chley and
Horwitz were read and presented to the Judge.
One showed that the writ had been served at a
quarter before 8 o'clock this morning, and the
otber that the Warden of the jail had been
lounging about the Court House all the morn,
it) p. Upon these affidavits a motion ior pro
ducing the bodies of the Warden and hia
prisoners without further delay was based. The
arunroent commenced upon the motion, and ts
still being continued. Pointi male by tbe
counsel on both sides are being very nicely
drawn and thoroughly elaborated.
Mr. Schley, who has been on the floor half-a-dozen
times, contends that it is plain to every
one thrt the Warden is seeking to evade the re
qvlrcm nts of tbe law, to detain these important
officers of the city of BaUimore in custody, in
order that they may be prevented trom holding
an election to-morro& The principal difficulty
with the JwIrc appears to be the provision of
the code which requires the return to be made
within three days alter service of writ.
Mr. HorwiU undertook to remove this diffi
culty by suegcstlns thai their oodles must be
produced at once, while the r-turn of casos of
detention might be delayed not lonaer than
three days. Messrs. Rogers and Alexander
counteracted this position by a forcible argu
ment, fclill leaving the Court inquiring "How
do we know that the Warden is In default uutil
the lime allowed him by law has elapsed ?"
THri Stockctt Matinews, one of the Warden's
counsel, baa appeared, and stated that it U the
intention o! his client to make a full an.l com
plete return to tho writ, at the am time pro
ducing the bodies of tbe prisoners, as soon as
his colleague. State' Attoraey Maund, has
had time to complete tbe necessary legal papur.
During the argument, which still continue,
the proceedings were frequently interrupted by
applause or expressions ot approval. These at
last were cfre' tually checked by .Tudce Bartol,
tt ho assured the spectators that, if necessary,
he thought he could find power to enforce
respect to law, even though it was represented
by himself sitting alone.
The principal Mrects an; ttlll cro wded whh
people, some of whom are moving rapidly in
crowds trom one point lo another, while others
have taken up stationary positions to await de
velopments. Every now and then large squads
of police are seen proceeding in some direcLioa,
upon seme mysterious errand, but thus far
everything has remained quiet, there having
been but one disturbance, which was of a trivial
nature, and quelled by the police on the spot.
FBOM THK ASHOCIATEO rBEBS.
Baltimobi, 2'30 P. M. The proceedings before
Judge Fartol are still in progress. The counsel
'or the Sheriff and new Police Commissioners
have introduced a petition that, inasmuch as
there is reason to believe that the Warden of the
ail is seeking to evade a prompt return of that
writ by nnnecessary delay, that, therefore, a
new writ be issued, directed to the Sheriff or bis
deputy, to bring the Warden of the jail before
the Court with the prisoners. Upon the admis
sion of this petition, the counsel are new
arguing.

The arms were conducted, guarded by a strong

Baltimokk, November fi, 2'30 P. M. The first
skirmish in the cam pa urn has been fought and
won by the radicals. Inlormatlon, during the
day, was conveyed to the police authorities by
certain Union parties, who keep a sharp look
out for such items, to the effect that four thou
sand muskets were stored In Bennett's auction
house, in Charles street, between Lombard and
German.
It ia very remarkable that at this same place
the same quantity of arms was found secreted,
and were seized by the authoiitics on the 19th
of April, 1861. When the capture of the pr-ent
lot was resolved on, Marshal Carm icbacl,
beaded by a pirty of twenty policemen, under
the itnmeidtae command of Servant Marlon
W. Hoffman, of tho Eastern Divi-lon, proceeeed
to the auction store, and found some fifteen
persons engaged in loading muskets with large
buckshot, about tour inches ot these destruct
ive missiles beirsr found In each musket that
bad been loaded.
Parties engaged in loading arras were taken
into custody, and the police proceeded to re
move the arms to the office of the Marsh:!.
In so doing one of the guns went off aeci
dentally, inflicting a dangerous, but, it is be.
lieved, not fatal wound in the face of a young
man stauding on tbe opposite side of the btreet.
At this time all of the arms winch have been
taken from the boxes have bceu removed to the
office of tbe Marshal, and those In boxes are
being transported to new quarters as rapidly as
possible.
It is believed that thre wn no intention of
using the arms In question before the evening.
During the ceremony of takiug possesion of the
muskets, a man in citizen's dress made a rush at
Maishal Carmlchael with a bayonet: the weapon
was warded off, and the man kuocked down,
and conducted to the Station House.
Judge Bartol has at length given his decision
in the matter of tiie habeas corpus cuss of the
new Commissioners and Sheriff. Much to the
surprise of his conservative friend, to whom he
is known to be politically favorable, he de
cided that the Warden of the jail could not be
held In contempt nntil three fall davs from the
time of service of the writ upon him had
elapsed.
This would carry the wbolo proceedings over
to Thursday morning, on which day, at 10
o'clock, Jude Bnrtol w'll resume proceedings
in the case.
Mr. Schley, on bearing the decision of the
Judge, said that if such was his decision in the
case, he had nothinsr further to say, as he had no
doubt the pil-oiers would ha deuiued until
after the election, and then released.
Mr. Stockett Matthews replied that tb. pri
soners would nt then be released except by due
procefcb of la w.
