Church of mnn A mnooncflrt in Thb Ti.wjraph of yesterday, wm the time designated for the dedication of Sea'w church building of the Third Street M. E. onffTcratlon' of Camden, N. J. The new and beau ufal edifice stands at the Intersection of Third street and Bridge avenue, fronting on the former. It sup plies the place of the one destroyed by Are some two r three years since. The day opened propitiously, and the fair weather, conjoined to the Interest attached to the occasion, more than realized the anticipations of the members that the formal dedication of their church would attract a large audience or congregation. The pews In the body of the church were all well filled, and the galleries exhibited a full complement of Interested participant ill the time. A number of the dignita ries of the Methodist Church were present. The dedication ceremonies will extend over this afternoon, and continue this evening. They opened at 10 o'clock this morning. The 'pulpit was occupied ty Kev. Bishop Simpson, and Revs. Kiissllng, Terry, Sovereign. Patterson, Itallard, and Whitecar, the last-named being the pastor of t he church. The services were opened with tlie reading of the liturgy by Itev. Whitecar, after which Hev. Knusliug announced the preliminary hymn. Kev. Hnvereign pronounced the opening prayer. Kev. Perry read the first lesxon from the Holy Scriptures at. 2d Chronicles, 6: 18-88, Kev. Patterson read the second lesson from Hebrews, 10th chapter. Hev. Ballard announced the second hymn. Kev. bishop Simpson then preached the dedicatory sermon, tuklng his text from the 97th Psalm ; latter part of the tith verse: "Worship Him all ye gods.'' Jn opening he congratulated the members of the congregation on the successful erection of their new house of worship, and called upon them tn magnify the name of the Lord. Then alluding to his text, he went Into au explication of it, saying that the Psalmist took a wlile view of the providence of Ood, and cnnld see llliu in every aifalr of life. The heavens declare His righteousness, uu 1 the muny voices of dumb nature worship the great creator. Then the Psalmist calls upon rnau to worship his linker. Many things arise before him in the contem plation ol this text ; we llnd In it and In dwelling on it many reasons why we should worship Nod. Hut there Is one single line of thought I would present to you this ni'Tiilng. That Is. that the greater bless ings are conferred upon any people, the greater obli gation they are under to worship Uod. This thought is suggested by the words of tile text 'vVorsnip Him "ail ye gods.'' I!y the word gods we may nndei stand "idols," or, as given in the margin In Exodus, " judges" that Is tlmsplaetd over men to judge them. Again, the Psalmist In sating lhat he would worship .lenovali before the "gods, ' meant that ne would worship publicly openly, by the phrase used here, we mu.it nnderstand all those who have conspicuous privi leges or superior blessings, whether they be of fame, wea'th, domestic IiIIhs, or a clearer reveUtiou of God's word. Aud thesu are especiai'y called upon to worship Hod Hut all men iro under au obligation to worship God, whether they be less or more fa vored. St'll lo the latter the injuuot'on comes witn greater force. And this for the reason that froin inose to whom much is given, much will be required. The more blessings God is pleased to confer upon me. the greater obligation I am under to worship Win in sincerity ami truth, lu proportion to the degree of heavenly benefit, en joyed are we to render in return to ;,nl. The heart should feel the more gratitud n the greater favor it enjoys. Where enlarged gilts are bestowed, large gratitude Is demanded. We are to worship tlim for every manifestation of kindness lu His providence ot simply lor the giiti He may bestow upon our minds. Are my clmdieti healthy, the l my gratitude is due to Uod. .r.i l nci.er to-day than 1 was ten years since. I am under the greater wbllgatlon to worship cod. Every gift of Nod to man lays ma., under fresh obligator s to render gratitude to Him. The; goodness of the Almighty coinmcuced in youth, is extended to the lnuturest iige, and the older' we gro.v the rn ire grutciul should we be A.itn, it is not. only because that where muuli Is giv ui much will lie n:ipiir.d that it is the duty of those receiving mi'!! advunt iges ti wor ship tied, but i ecause tue.v are m such a position :n miciety tlist tne eyes of the wm Id are looking up n them. Kura niouic'ii now consider this truth, lu America this favored land of the world we are under special obllgali tjs to render worship to aod, and l the eyes of other people are looking upon us to nee whether we perform l his our duty. But as with a nation, ho with any part of a nation. Even If I confine my attention here, to this spot, to this vici nity, 1 can see that, tn people here are Messed very highly, and consequently an; under the greater obli gations to worship Cod. V. h'-rever there Is a centre of elevation, there should be a centre of re'.igious power. As we here lu this favored p irt of the coun try are an example to others less favored around us, we should also take the greater care not to dishonor Clod by refusing to worship Him according to the benefits He has conferred upon us. Again, we are under special bliga'loiH to worship Him becaaee we cannot escape a knowledge of the power of influence. Placed in an influential position, we must prove ourselves compe tent to till it, und this alone can be done by returning special homage to God. We sometimes imagine lhat we are very humble, sometimes say so; but, my brethren, do we not all know that as not a single atom of sand on the shore Is disconnected with the composition of the globe, so neither Is auy single one of us disconnected from the mass of humanity, nor destitute of influence upon others. For this reason a father is under greater obligation; for who can tell his influence upon his child? For this reason people in this community in this congregation even who stand as lights prominently in society, are under the greater obligation, for, In proportion to their position, so is their Influence. Oh ! I wish I could impress upon you this morning that in the greater degree Uod has blessed you, are you under obligations to worship Him. The second thought connected with this subject is, that as our blessings and advantages are Increased, so our worship which we pay ought to have a visible relation to these increased responsibilities. Now, some may say that worship is purely spiritual; I say, however, that a true worship will make some visible manifestation. A man may imagine that he can worship God at home ; so he can. But 1 say that uo Dia'i who wantonly absents himself from the house of God and refuses to mingle in the visible worship of the saints truly worships God. Agaiu, when in this house of God, what more beautiful sight than a whole congregation kneeling belore God? Then when we bend the knee belore God, do we truly worship (Sod with our bodies as well as with our souls. As Methodists , too. we should not desert even external manifestations of inward worship. They are beautiful, they are Scriptural, and let us cling to them. Again, a true worship is not only marked by visible manifestations, but is accompanied by offerings that cost us. What, some will say. must the idea of money be brought into our religion ? Do you not sing of a free grace? Yes, we do, but then to advance the cause of reli gion there must be sacrillce. Read the Scriptures, Old and New, and you will find that sacrillce has never been absent from devotion ; sacrillce exhibits devotion. What did Jesus Christ, our Saviour, sacrifice? He sacrificed more than enough to suf fice the needs of a whole world. Priests aud ministers cannot servo without sacrillce. How can they serve without being sent ? And in order to being sent there must be sacrillce. All the machi nery for their service must be provided. I tell you that a man cannot acceptably worship God unless he is willing to take something of his and give it to God. But then this something is to be in proportion to what God has given to us. Under the old dis pensation, if a mau could not bring the greater sncrillces, he was ordered to bring even the handful of flour, aud that was acceptable to God; for It was in proportion to whaUJ f-lnri l.nrl (.limn ti, him U'tf h ,l...u. ti ....l.l.... mn r.....n all estimate our "uty In tills respect. BometimcB men fancy that a they grow In weaith, power, in fluence, or position, they are released from respon Blnl Ity. This is a great error; the reverse is the l.uth. The words of the text return upon us "sVor nalp Bim fll ye gLds!" That is, all ye rich and powerful; all ye who are to iiitbinnoe or positloi; all ye who are prosperous, worship God. When in attltctlou ye are ready to worship; in blessing you forget to. is this right? OhI wny will men torgut God at ttin very time 11 1 is good t . ttieni, aud bless ing tlieis? Is such conduct wise? Then let this favored congregation worship fiod. He has given you this beautirul and spacious house to take the place of the one burned to the ground. For this-worshlp Him. Oh ! ye people of Camden and vicinity, lor your many blessings-worship God. God is watehiug over you, He is looking to see how you will bear yourselves under the new responsi bilities He has thrown upou you. Will you dishonor Him by refusing to worship Htm ? The Bishop concluded his uloquent sermon by adjuring the members of the congregation he wit addressing to pay otr every dollar of the debt resting mum tha church.and thui by devising liberal thlnis. to prove to all other congregations that God is wor- i5.' c.

KxpM)pion in tttb Tax Kwtkivicr's ofkick About 9 o'clock this morning the pedestrians along Chcsnut and Sixth streets were considerably startled by a loud report of an explosion, and those at the corner of those two thoroughfares saw a volume of smoke rushing from the ofllco of the Tax Kecelver immediately after the noise. On Investigating the matter, it was fonnd that an explosion had occurred in the vault which had been broken Into and robbed on Friday night of last week, it seems that before the arrival of all the clerks, Patrick Doran, the mes senger, and Charles Fannce, a clerk, were deslroas of showing the vault to a gentleman named Kclley. The door was opened, wheu one of them struck a match, and Instantly there was a flash, followed by the explosion. Messrs. Fannce and Kelley were blown out into the office, and Doran came tumbling after them. These gentlemen had nearly all the hair on their head singed off. besides sustaining alight bruises by coming In contact with the floor. The cause of the explosion has been assigned to a leaky gas-pipe, from which enough of the explosive com pound had escaped during the night to UU the vault. The singed gentlemen were taken to the Dispensary, where they were properly attended to. The other clerks ran Into t 'in street (luring the con fusion, and on returning found some f the books on the upper shelves in tuo vault burning. The flames were, 80on.extlng!i!hed, without any further damage than above stated. Frvit AND PltOIU'CK VllKIK'N ON TlRriWiMR Aveni b.

The market in New York Is languishing. Hut owing to the weather having matured all varieties simultaneously, prices must rally again in a rinv or two, as the demand for canning Increases.

A new professorship has there been established, supported by a gift of t'25,001) from Thos. Heaver, Ks(., of Danville. Thelncunioent of the chair is to have charge of the department of Biblical Literature. The finances of the college are upon a sound and satisfactory footing. In addition to the value of the grounds, the munificent centenary col lection makes the endowment now about a quarter of a million. The old buildings have been thoroughly renovated, repaired, and improved; the class-rooms are made comfortable and convenient, and other ar rangements perfected, trilling In themselves, but still such as tend to attract students to the Institu tions which possess them. Hev. Dr. Dashlell, the new President, has assumed his position with an en ergy that has infused new life into every department. The corps of professors is able and full, the location of the college not exactly central ;in the State but eligible, ami in a country entirely healthful, circum stances all which cannot fail lu recommending any institution. A SlIOOTINH VAK IN THK TWKNTV-FlFTH WAnn A citizkn shot While stanwnh on tue uonnkct IN(! Kaii.way. About U o'clock last evening, James Carduck, aged thtrty-five years, was shot while standing alonside of a train of cars on the connect ing Kail way, under the following circumstances, some accident had occurred to the locomotive and the train had stopped for repairs. A number of the cars were laden with peaches, to one of which, it Beems, some unknown person went for the purpose of taking some oi the fruit. While he was in the act of getting them, the door of the next car was opened and a man peered out, and drawing a pistol fired. The ball struck Mr. Carduck in the abdomen ami so seriously injured lilm that his life is despaired of. Just as the shot was lued the train iLOved otr and went on Its way to New York.

PRINCE ALFRED. Ilia DIsBTacelul Conduct at Honolulu. A correspondent oi the Alta California at Honolulu confirms what has been already pub lished relative to the rudo and disgraceful con duct of this "Prince of tho Kcalrn," and adds the following concerninr his visit to that city: On the morning of July il the Prince landed and was received by tho Hritish commissioner, the Governor, and oiher otllciols, and a few of the Eng lish residents got up a Kliyht cheer. In the afternoon the Duke visited the King, and had a short interview ni,h h ministry, and then visited Ouecn Emma and tha English Clu'tj, Several of the most prominent English residents called upon hlai, but were not re ceived. On MOnuay in" "u Bcveriu oi inn uiu. cer ,n n mi with the King, and his royal llielnmss ex pressed a wish to see a lenau, and on Tuesday one was given by the Governor, attended by the King and Dowager oueen. but no white people, aside irom the olllcers of ine ""'Pi anu many lialf caste ladles who were married Europeans, were luvited, and their liusbsmlH left tiut I The dis- gTacfnl and olweene hulahula dance being part of the programme, the Kngllshmen who hoisted their flag with pride on the arrival of the 1 rlnce, lowered it with disgust. It is a lusting dis grace that an Knglish shln-of-war, flttod in a most costly manner, commanded by an English print., should visit these Chrlstlanlwd lands, and the only question asked was to s e the hnlahula. Tho mis sionaries feel not a little hnrt that a prince from Christian England could treat them so. On Wed nesday evening the Duke and olllcers attended a grand ball given by the King. On Thursday tho King and principal otllcers of the Government visited the Galatea, and were entertained by his Hoyal Highness, and on their departure the usual salute was tired. The impression left on the minds pf thinking people Is certainly not favorable, anil It Is lamentable to see a Government squandering four thousand dollars per day on such a toy while there are thousands starving In England. CUBA. II n mors of n Change In the (iovcrnmenl of the Island. This Important Information comes to us In a letter dated Havana, August S8: Strange and exciting minors are rife in political circles, and persons claiming to speak by authority assure us that his Excellency th Captain-General has received a telegi am from Madrid charging him to prepare the country for a change in the Govern ment, Following this, say thev, he had various conferences with the chlefs'of several departments, and afterwards Indicated to the press the. course which It should pursue. It Is also stated that he has ordered the archives of the Government to be car ried to the Cabanas fortress, and that it has already been commenced, though with the utmost secrecy. It Ib further reported that the Spaniards are quietly circulating among then. selves a manifesto asking for tho autonnmique, foreseeing that the separation of the island from Spain Is not far distant, and will ing, for their ultimate safety anl advantage, to go with the current, since tiiey cannot dam or con trol It Doubtless these reports are false, and formally months to come will be carried on this war, a dis grace to civilization and the age, In which the prin ciples of humanity have n part, but rather the ferocity of the tiger, and neither age nor sex. belli gerent nor neutral, Is spared. Still these stories, started no one knows how, are eagerly caught up by all classes, repeated and commented upou In a way which Indicates Ihiw much peace and a restoration of order are desired, no matter in what manner. The Spaniards of this island are men of business, entirely practical in their character, and though very patriotic and of intense prejudice, I mil satisfied would not wish to curry on the war for one hour beyond a fair chance of success and at no distant day. Most of them appreciate the fact that w:th all the vast extent of blood and treasure, with the cruelly and devastation manifested upon both sides, with exile and sequestration, the in surrection Is no nearer its termination than it was months ago, nor would there seem to be any (prospect of either party achieving success. Meanwhile the island Is becoming less and less valu able. The insurgents or late would seem to have determined to make it as little so as possible, and have inaugurated a new era of destruction, while the madness and brutality of the Spanish soldiers, though, perchance, having less method, place them lu no whit behind their antagonists in the career of desolation. Sober, thoughtful meu among the. Spaniards begin to inquire, "How much longer shall this laHt und to what good end?" Meanwhile the Island long since ceased to pour her treasure Into the lap of Spain, and instead thereof has become 8 burden upon that already bankrupt power. In the light of these facts It Is evident that peace and Its anei,(lant blessings, now so ardently longed for here, will not come to us through the trivial and mceiei minute operations of the combatants in the field, but rather through negotiations from the out Rtde, based on the fact that a longer continuance of the war can only result in tho destruction of the island, with no corresponding benefit to any one, and In multiplied burdens upon the home govern ment, already sinking beneath its loud. Iliutchery ol Prisoners Near Jlguanl.

The prisoners, the friends who accompanied them, and even their - rvmif, weio huddled Into a group und fired Into until no one was left, alive. They were twenty-one In all, including the eleven who sijt out from here, nine 01 their friends accompanying them from Manzanillo and iiuyamo, and a cook hired In the former place. Among the friends were three volunteers, and also one of the haudiul of men, who defended themselves for thirty days In a house in Holguin aguinst tho Insurgents. These v ere included in the indiscriminate slaughter, the murderers, in order to conceal their crime us much as possible, milking no discrimination. The excitement lure resulting from this most bin barons act was fearful, and the agony of t h" dead men's relations r-eyond description, muny ot them beiig left entitely destitute; and yet theiv wero fuiiiio some Spaniards so lost to all sense of shame as openly to rejoice over this savage butch ery. Among thcKe were a captain in tin; army and a priest, who had a special orgle in a public place of refreshment, drinking "to tne health of Colonel Pulaetos, aud a safe passage to the infernal regions for the murdered men." This scandalous conduct was severely coudeiuned by the Governor, who sent the captain, named Larso de la Vega, under arrest to Havana, and his contemptible companion, Padre Lecandn, only escaped the same fate by the most, abject entreaties. The Impression caused by this tragedy is very deep, as it shows clearly that under existing clivu in stances no life is safe, and strong hopes of Ameri can interference are cherished by all who have still something to lose. The gleam of hope raised by the proclamation of Caballero de Kotlas announcing in the motto, "Spain, Justice, and Morality,"' lias died out since it is plain that, though Spain Is fully re presented, justice and morality are entirely lost sight of.

He looked warm ; she felt cool. Iter womanly symnn-i tines were touched uy tne evident discomfort or tne sprightly Ethiopian, who, notwithstanding, boppel about the stage like a grain of corn on a hot griddle. Ordering an extra glass, she tilled it to the brim with spalkliug Ueidseick, aud, placing It on the sill of her box, Invited Sully to cool his painted lips.

"miok out ror that 'ere bottle, sully l" is the simultaneous cry from several hoarse throats, the property of Individuals who, from their position, could sec that the indignant lady In the box was ab. tut to hurl a black bottle at the disciple of Terpsichore. They were right, too, for before the warning cry hud fuiny reached the ears of the de voted Sully, e bottle, glistening like a meteor, grazed his head and was dashed to fragments In the opposite tiles. "Hell," says the poet, "has no fury like a woman scorned." aud the fair creature who deemed herself highly insulted, proved by her appearance in the box that the poet who penned tho unu Knew wnut ne was taiKing aoout. sue was the very picture of an enraged female.
