SPUNKY Bors.—We have yet to and the man who doubts the will and ability of our firemen to do good service in time of danger, but we must confess to a little surprise, in the face of the cold shoulder given to theirfrequent appeals for the sinews of war in the shape of hose; at learning their practical belief in the axiom "In time of Peace prepare for War." The boys belonging to the "Old Co!umby," despairing of any material aid from the citizens, hare employed themselves during the last two weeks in repairing their hose; not darning their Stockings, but patching and copper riveting the stock of old and apparently useless hose which, in its leaky state was of no irtort use in carry ing water than a straw hat. The Columbi .ws have repaired iu a most substantial manner, with patches varying from an inch to a foot. possiby more, in length, and thus ' renovated and put in servietable condition, from thirteen to fifteen hundred felt of hose. In our opinion this quiet labor on the part of the firemen speaks men there strongly in fay.tr of their earnestness in their vocation than a successful effort in time of actual need. It shows that the an of running with the "masheen'' includes some arduous land generally unappreciated labor, and better still gives our citizens the assurance that we hate in our town a cempany which net even indifference or neglect can drive front the post of duty, toil and danger. Without wishing in any manner to reflect on the other companies of our borough, which will work with the best when needed, we must praise the thorough ore , anization of the "Coluntla," and coinpliment the effi cient and thivoted officers, and the plucky, indemitable members.

As a faithfdl chronicler of the times and a voter of all important events which occur in the City Of Philadelphia, your correspon dent conceives it to be entirely right and proper to give your renders some further account of the religious excitements and controversies which are now in progress in this community. It is hoped dint the sub ject will not prove tedious to any; find it shall be the care of the writer, that it be treated with the respect and gravity due to importance of the theme; and with a proper regard, as well for the opinions of the gen eral reader, as for his own inclinations and convictions. The daily and nightly prayer-meetings in the various public halls throughout the city, still continue with unabated interest a nd undiminished attendance. The "fe.ditig“ manifested is very decided ; but what will be the summing bp, and grand result or the whole muvetntmt, time only can reveal.— Even in 0;1 midst of all this interest about spiritual thing., there will occasionally oc cur some of those natural outbreaks of hu manity, which remind one that we arc but men of flesh and blood, very subject to pas sions, exceedingly fallible and uncertain creatures, under any circumstances. A day or two ago, a brother of rather cynical disposition, astonished the and:Mle by rising, in his seat, and expiesSing the opinion more remarkable for its Nrvency than its courtesey, that the ladies were rather a suPOrtidous appendage to these meetings, which were intended solely for men, that they (the ladies) made such rustling and coati-ion coming in, took up so much room m hen they were in, and were altogether so decidedly in the way, in point of fact, (not to put too fine a point on the the matter) that he for one (supposed to be the only one) did hope they would absent themselves from these meetings entirely, or at least until all the men (and boys) who were about to seek religion had got it. To this polite invitation another brother, with a heart not made of stone, responded, that he hoped, and lie did not doubt that all the brethren, sa'.e oho, united in the hope, that "the sisters" would not think of staying that there was ample room fur all, no 'atter wind Itbolklf dresses ihey wore! After this little divertisemeut the services proceed ed as usual. But the next day the same relentless mis ogynist renewed his, }i onslaught upon the female candidates for conversion; but modi fied his motion to a request that the Ladies would occupy the galleries only, and not enter the body of the hall, because their presence might hale an embarrassing effect upon many of the male enquirers } who must necessarily run in from their places of busi ness clad in their every day habiliments— which would be indeed a mortifying expos ure of themselves, after the impressions they are supposed to Intro rondo, a day or two ago, in their Sunday toggery. It seemed that nobody had the confidence to controvert these sound positions of the indefatigable champion of the "rights of man," but whether ''woman kind" will pay any regard to these modest requests, remains to be' be seen. Per centra Id this generally rtaternal feeling and the Union meetings, a strong controversy is going on between the Rev. John Chambers, the eccentric "Indepen dent" preacher. and Mr. Thomas, a "Uni versalist" minister. They attack or reply to each other on alternate Sunday evenings, advertising the subject of their discourses in the papers of the preceding day, by which means they manage to "draw" quite as Well as any exhibition, and we doubt ttut , to quite as good purpose! It is not easy to see what benefit this kind of controversial preaching can conNr on the congregations these Reverend gentlemen, except to convince each "flock!' of its own superlative piety, and of the deep debase-d ment and hopeless condition of the other party. Ptit thi's i 3 one etTectof the immense over-supply of 'preaching" with which our churches are afflicted in these days. It strikes U 9 very foreildy that the people of our generation go to church not so much to "worship, magnify and adore" the great Creator and Father of all, but more to hear an eloquent and startling address front some C "smart preacher," which, the more bitter and denunciatory of their neighbors or rivals, and the more soothing and encoura ging to themselves, is of course, all the more grateful and highly esteemed. But iv this the design of God's worship? Can this be the true intent and end of Christian preach- ing ? With all due respect for the opinions of others, we protest that it cannot be. ! Meanwhile, and pending the main battle against "Universalism," the indefatigable Mr. Chambers is waging a relentless side jiyht against anew sect, just set up under the style and title of the "Congregational Friends of Truth," who have organized un der the lead of tarnestine Bose and one Thomas Curtis—with what intent and under what "banner," maybe readily inferred, by those who are familiar with the antecedents of these two celebrities. Or their tenets may be more readily understood by refer ! nen to their rule of faith published I in a daily paper, whether as a means to I draw vrt: cannot say, but judging only by the inducements held out, we should infer not. One article 01' eitir faith rend., thu, "Believing that t';'iront, ju.tice and truth are separate from nod independent of ell and every system of rePgion or religious belief. (!) we seek" &e., &c. Again- - Believing that the elevation of of the standard of morality in the commu nity is a nobler plan for redeetrinft; men than atly scheme of salvation offemtl by Christianity.

It is difficult to conceive bow men nod women claiming to be of sane mind. can Promulgate such notorious falsehood and suchCottrocious nonsense; and it h strange too, to witness the volubility with which rivers of wordis pour out of the mouths of their speakers au such &gums i t s those above quoted- The idea of "principles of wisdom and justice, independent of all religious beliefl" I Why, the very ideas "wisdom" "justice" indicate attribufts of a superior Intelligence presiding over, and guiding the sulljects of His creative power; and it is ffom that su perior intelliemce that we get trek ettough of the ideas, n'risdoni and justice, to make laws which shrill protect society from the evils of our own bad passions, "A nobler plan of redeeming man than any scheme of salvation offered by Christi anity!" Why, Christianity is the source, the very fountain head of the idea "Re demption." What system of Religion or Morals; save Christianity ever taught that man needed redemption? And who, but the founders of Christianity, eitr inculcated themysterious and incomprehensible though irresistible doctrine, that man's redemption must be wrought out by his Creator, and perfected by his own acceptance? And yet to see "these poor fools of nature" setting up their altar in this en lightened city to teach a system of sublime ethics ithich have been exploded a hundred times, and %redid die out again within a year, but that Mr. Chatttbers—who is utter ly destitute of controverSial ability, without analytical power or logical aecttritcy—will, by his vehement denunciations itnd anathe nms keep them so prominently in the public view as to swell their rnhks to soinething like a party. - . It would be doing ilidence to the feelings of the patrons of the "Fine Arts" to omit nn incident of more titan singular occur rence in connection with the meetings at Jnyne's llall. On one side of the entrance to the room the visitor is met by a lad who hunds him a tract or religious circular, while on the other side of the entrance a second youth presses on your notice a gla ring scheme from the "Musical Institute" in Chesnut street, setting forth the attrac tions sf an approaching distribution by lot of $2OOO worth of pianos, guitars mind fid dles. It sedated rathtr an incongruous blending of the religious and speculative spirits of the age; however, nothing is so strange now, but you may, "as a stranger give it welcome!" The Italian Opera is struggling along in feeble competidh With tht revivals. The only notable event couneeted with it is the debut of Niiss Juliana Itay, the "Amer ican" singer, who appeared in the part of Amine, and made something very like a failure; which fact may be set down with abundance of others in evidence against the absurd notion of establishing the Opera permanently in Philadelphia. It is a fact constantly verified by experiment, that American and English singers can nol suc ceed in the highest school of music which is ndoubtedly that of the best Italian and German composers; therefore this style of music is not needed as a model in an Amer ican community, and consequently can nev er be a "permanent fixture" here.

Diving at Sebastopol A letter describing the operations at Se hastepdi fur raising the sunlidu ship, reltfies the following inciddnti Notzmara 5.z--We had a terrible excite ment on board one day last week. Otte of the dis'ers (Harris; the ' English marine,) first rate felloW, and bold as a lion, goes down examining the outside of the ship on which they are at wort: ite had been for- I ward and was going aft; along the bottom, in sixty feet of water, when he suddenly signalized for more air, and though the pressure was instantly increased, two more signals for "air" and "to come up" followed in rapid succession, and then ceased all re ply to signals given. Thinking the fault was in the air pump, the speed was in creased until a pipe bursting near the engine Shored that the host was foul.— Then they sheeted to tin...other diving party, in a row boat at a little distance; to come to the rescue. That diver was brought up by his tenders, and they commenced rowing for :the steamer. Meanwhile, poor Harris made no more response to the anxious sig nalling of his tsnders, and they had tried in vain to haul him up—the "life line" was also foul. The pump was kept slowly in motion, but no 'nibbles came up from the water; end we knew that no air was reach ing him. The row boat was coming as fast as possible, but I thought it never would I arrive. At last they came alongside. The diver's helmet was closed, strong hands worked rapidly and silently, and in an in , . stant he was lowered out of sight, the hose of hissufFcring companion lb his hand; there was an interval of to or three minutes of fearful suspense, in which no word Was spoken by any of the score of men gathered there, savo one whisper—"lt must be too late." Suddenly a second column of rising air bubbles appeared. The hose is cleared—he has air,' several voices spoke eagerly.— Then followed the signal fur rising, end up they came—poor Harris all stark and mo tionless. "Stop the pump, he is dead," said one, unscrewing the eyeglass through which he now saw the gliastly countenance and frothy lips. But the cold air striking his livid Mee, the eyelids half opened and closed again. "He is alive," they all cried joy fully, and removing the unsightly helmet and dashing water on his head and breast, he presently began to breathe perceptibly, and after an hour's diligent rubbing from as many strong and willing hands as could get around him, he began to Come to con sciousness. He suffered great pain for hours in the head and breast, but is now altogeth er recovered, and diving as Usual. On the whsle, it was such an occurrence as I hope may not happen here again; the ten min utes; in which we had the consciousness that a man was dying for want of assistance which we could by no means give, I cannot think of without a shudder. The hose had got fast under a port-cover in such n way as . to cut off the air suddenly and entirely. The life-line was fast on some rigging down in the Mud under the bottom of the ship, where he had crawled in his zealous search after holes or injuries. He owes his life to the coolness and dexterity of the other diver, who providentially followed the hose and cleared it before descending to Lim, thus giving him air two minutes sooner than be could otherwise have received it; and it came late enough. I remember last winter discussing divers and diving with (Air friend -. We were both nninstructod in the particulars, like many others who have not seen the process. I have since lied sufficient opportunity to observe. The dress is of gutta percha, or rubber cloth, large and loose, in one piece, pants, boots, waistcoat and sleeves, into which the divet is inserted from the top by his teuders airier substituting henry flannel drawers, socks, &c., for the ordinary appar. el. Once tucked into this ample casting, the head is covered with a Nose-fitting wool len Cap, the breastplate and helmet of iron put on, the latter a hollow globe, much larger, of course, than the head, and provi ded with three little windows, grated and glazed, called eye-glasses; the front one is always open while dressing. The upper part of the dress is fieW fastened to the breast-plate, being placed between its edge and a covering metallic rim which is then firmly screwed to its place by means of a wrench, making the connection water-tight. Heavy cowhide brogan., with soles of lead three-quarters of au inch thick, strong rub ber rings for the wrist which prevent water from entering the sleeve, and the girdle of shot, weighing some seventy-five pounds, • complete the tiring. The life-line is tied round the waist, the sheath-knife placed in his belt, the pump Is started, the eye-glass screwed in, and he is reAdy to descend.— 'The dress being now filled with air, the shapeless body and limbs of the monster swelling to a site fitting that of his bead, making altogether a hideous figure, which you arc not sorry to see vanish out of sight, wondering what sort of a reception the mer maids will give him if he falls in their way. [The fish are not afraid of them—they sometimes bring up a pocket full.] Tho hose which supplies the air is of gutta per clic, of half inch bore, and attached to the helmet jest at the bump of self esteem.— The escape valte is below it. The life-line, by which signals are transmitted, is passed through a loop on the right eye-glass, so so that the slightest motions are felt. Ile usually descends part of the way, at least, on a rope ladder, but is sometimes lowered by the life-line from the first. The pressure of the air is gradually in creased as be goes lower, more force being required, of' course, to supply the air. If the pump is worked by hand it requires four men to tend it—two turning at once, and frequently changing. Two "tenders" stand by—one holding the hose, the other the life-line, the latter literally holding the diver's life in his hand, an inattention to signals frequently might cause his death.— • Once on the bottom, or on the ship, our mer man walks about or works as elsewhere. Our divers for three months pant have aver aged perhaps four and a half hours under • water, and hard at work v per diem. They have frequently, however, been down six and over tight hours, in water from thirty to sixty feet deep. They can descend in water one hundr6d and fifty feet, but do not like to Wotk deeper than one hundred, the in creased pressure sensibly affecting the head at a greater depth. It tvould be interesting to know Upon What physical characteristics the ability to endure the firesbdre inevitable in descending upon Wetter depends. I can discover to difference hi quY.nfity or quality of brain or lungs bet Ween some who can stay down hours without inconvenience and others who cannot go at all, or who, on trial, have suffered long and severely after coming up from tho merest experimental dives.— And the regular divers are of various tem peraments; but one thing is common to all —that is, broad shoulders and deep chests; thus, large lungs are indispensable, I fancy; but that is not all, for some of the best pro vided in that respect have been unable to stay. A Mott JUMPER..—Australian sqttatters in general are excellent and fearless riders, mounting horses fresh from the bush, un tamed, unbroken, and full of many vices, particularly the formidabte one of buck jumping, in a way that would astonish many an English rough rider and steeple-chase jockey. Mr. F— was remarkable fur his powers in this way. He had a largo mob of horses on his run, and they were gener ally notorious fur their buck jumping pro pensities, and I remember his accompany ing me one day on my return from his house to the digging, mounted on an animal just driven into his stock-yard from the bush.— The forest here and every where else in Australia, is covered with the blackened trunks of trees of every size that have fal len victims to fire, and it is a usual thing for men well mounted to take a straight across it, leaping over such logs as practi cable. We were amusing ourselves in this manner when we came to one of the pros trate giants of the forest, which, although, my horse was a very good one, I should never have attempted to jump, and did not imagine F— on the little ill-conditiond weed Ile was riding, would think of doing. I was astonished, however, to observe him dig his spurs into the beast's sides, rush hint at it, and as I anticipated, make a clean sommersault over the trunk of a tree about four feet high and fully as many broad—horse and man absolutely turning in the air, F— was accustomed to this kind of practice (as he broke in his own horses) and knew exactly how to throw himself off on one side; and in this instance without quitting his hol d of the bridle, was on the horse's back again in an instant, and with whip and spur urged him on to the charge again. The same result occurred n second time, and now I thought it really was time to interfere, and not allow my friend to break his neck without some re monstrance on my part. He merely waved his hand, and said that lie could not afford to spoil his horses by sacrificing to my philanthropy, mid ramming him at the leap a third time, cleared it like a buck, observing that had he not persisted in making him jump the log, he would have been spoilt for ever, and of no use as a stock-horse, but that now, in all probability, he would turn out well. This was a young animal, between three and four years old.— Nothing can equal a confirmed buck-jumper in equine depravity, and he is rarely if ever thoroughly cured of vice, After the tnost quiet and docile behavior for weeks and oven months, and whilst travelling at an easy pace and loosened rein, the rider finds himself summarily ejected high up into the air, and thence over his steed's head, by a series of gymnastics, yclept buck jump ing, which some sudden caprice or olden recollections have caused him to execute.— He fixes his head firmly between his knees, curves up his back and body into the shape I of a ball, erects his tail, and simultaneously makes a spring and a kick that would tin ; seat almost any horseman either unprepared !or othervrise.—D'Earee's Sporting in both Hemispheres. ite—What is Buckwheat?—.Masculine wheat.
