Lombard street presented a gay appearance. From Sixth to Eighth streets nearly every house displayed a flag, while some are com pletely- draped with hunting.

Eor this reason- Philadelphia was this morning filled. Like white people, they have their grades of eu lighteimiClit ;-bntdn their- churches, the spin, of piety, this mprning, was equally evidentrn 'all The most fashionable church in Philadel phia is the Episcopal church of St. Thomas,o which Rev. Mr. Allslon is pastor. The pulpit, predecessor of this gentleman, like Mr. All ston was a man of culture and accomplish ments At his funeral we remember Bishop Potter remarking to those who stood by, that, in the entire diocese of Pennsylvania, there was no clergyman who more impressively read the beautiful ritual of the Church to which he had belonged. . . „„ , ... Mr. Allston’s church was filled with a con gregation as handsomely appareled and as Socorous in demeanoras any house of worship in Philadelphia. Mr. Ailston's very appro priate text was the od verse of the 120th Psalm,; '■ The Lord, hath done great things for nd, whereof we are glad.” He depicted the re, turn of the tribes of Israel alter their seventy -years’ bondage to Babylon, and showed how In their gratitude for deliverance tlieh first work upon reaching the laud from which they had so long been alienated, was to rear altars and offered sacrifice to their divine Deliverer. Parailel to this case was the gratitude ol the Hebrews, when the hosts ot their oppressor were disarmed by death, and upon the banks of the Hood that had overwhelmed them they offered the incense of their gTatitude in the song that constituted the words of the text. The discourse was in all respects excellent. ' It was delivered with fervor; and listened-to with merited attention. Rev. J. B- Reed held simultaneous services in the African Presbyterian Church, Lom bard, below Ninth street. He, too, sough tthe Psalmist for bis subject, The purpose of the • occasion was purely one Of thanksgiving. Into ats texture not a single thread of discussion either Deeded or nought to be.introduced. Our Africans indulged not in Misereres, but in Te Deums ; in Doxologies, and not in pern teulial verse. Mr. Heed’s text was from the titith Psalm, Bth, 9th, and part of 12th verse : “ O bless our God, ve people, and make the voice of His praise to" be heardwho- holdeth our soul in life, and sufteretli not- our feet to ' be moved! We went through fire and water, ■ hut Thou brouglitest us out into a wealthy place.” The discourse was stimulative to the listener to seek te merit the blessing so recently con ferred, and to praise the God that had first kept alive the soul of the African amid op pression never before known in the history of the world, and that had now lifted him to-the dignity of citizenshtpin this greatest republic upon which the, sun has shone. The congregation evineed tlieiri'hearty acquies cence in the ideas as uttered from tho pulpit. When tliev sang, the Doxology, "Praise God from whom all . .blessings flow,” the song seemed and was an inspired I‘iean. Tlie Scene on Hroael Street.
