GEO• THOMPSON'S LECTURE AT THE COVENANTERS' CHURCH- The great pressure upon our columns, on Satur - day, precluded the insertion of our report of Mr. Thompson's great leeture,-eu Friday evening, deli vered at the Covenanters, Church, on Ch of erry street, below Eleventh. " The Copperheads England and Amcrlea» was the theme of his discourse, though he confined his remarks to the first class, because with the latter we purposely, as he said, ourse tves were already sufficiently acquainted, and noainSt thCM daily events were warning us. The Church Was Conifortably tilled, and he was listened to with that interest which always marks his public deliveries. It was the second time he has recently Frdien in _Philadelphia, and the second time in the Covenanters' Church, the former oeca siUu being thirty_years ago, when no other pub lic building could be obtained by Mr. Thompson for the expression of his views upon the sullied of slavery. Ho was introduced to the audience by Rev. Mr. Stephenson, pastor of the church, who alluded with much- emphasis to the contrast which Mr. Thompson's present reception formed to that accord ,a him thirty years ago. The man had remained true to principle; he bad not changed an iota, but the times had changed, thank God ! and_the Ameri cai people greeted, with a feeling somewhat akin to on th u mtorn, the champion of anti-slavery, whom they once so heartily denounced. Mr. Stephenson added that the Covenanter-s' Church was peculiarly complimented by Mr. Thompson's, condescension to peak to neon, when so many invitations had been extended to him from other sources. Mr. Thompson was received with' applause, and spoke as follows : LAMS AND Gaixvraninti : I must take the liberty of disclaiming altogether the thanks awarded me for being- here te - -nighf, or for conferring thereby any honor upon tim church steadily worshipping within these walls. Most grateful have I ever felt to those who are connected with this building, for thereat rivileue which, nearly thirty years ago, I hail the honor of addressing more than once. Ido not deem it a less privilege to-night to feel thankful to Di vine Providence that lie has spared inc to comehere under circumstances somewhat more auspicious than those that surrounded us in days that are past. I cannot help referring to the tact that to the body, a portion of whose members worship in this church from Sabbath to Sabbath—that to that body belongs, in common with the very few Christian denomina tions in this country, the honor of having, from the time their denominations were first known in this country, acted upon the righteous principle of ex cluding from their religious communion any man or woman so grossly violating the principles and pre- Capp, the genius and design of Christianity, as to claim, impiously to claim. the right of property in their fellow-beings. To the Reformed Presbyteri ans, or, as they are sometimes called, the "Cove nanters," belongs, I say, with come few other deno minations in this country, that honor. I was de lighted, in taking up the Philadelphia papers of this morning, to Mid that the Methodist Episco pal Conference, assembled in this city at this time, have indicated that they intend, during the session or sessions of their quadrennial Confe rence,to adopt as a principle of membership non slaveolding [applause]; and while IrejOice:greatly that that very large body of Christians in this coun try are returning, to the principle that once distin guished them, the rule, the discipline, and the law that prevailed in the Methodist body while the spirit Of John Wesley was prevalent among them, that they are returning to the observance of that great principle, and that the Methodist Church North, too long injured and corrupted by having within it pertain slavoholding (:'onferenees,will become a body purged from the responsibility and guilt of conni vance at a sin so great as slavehelding ; but to-night I have to ray to you something whiclilias more refe rence to my own country than to yourselves. Coming recently from Englnd, and harmg had the Opportunity of very extensively observing there the state of public opinion in relation to the great aifurs of America, I want to give you some little , account of the Unionists and Copperheads of Great Britain. The community of the land from which I come are very distinctly divided upon the American question—upon that great question which has now for three years distracted and convulsed this country, and has made America the scene of domestic and civil war. Even the chil dren in the same family, boys in our public and pri vate schools, students in our colleges and universi ties, frequenters of our lyceums, and forums, and debating societies, the members of our numerous clubs, our quarterly reviews, our monthly maga sines, our weekly journals, have all been divided, -and are still divided, into North and South, Union ist and Copperhead. Most of our Copperhead news papers about as correctly describe the sentiment of the people as the New York Herald describes the character and objects of the anti-slavery party of this country. Let us illustrate by reference to the London Times. This is the most widely circulated, and best written, and most influential journal that, j during your terrible conflict, has taken sides with I the South, as against the North. That journal has a host of imitators, who, unable to equal their ori ginal in the talent withwhich it is conducted, in the power of mischief, seek to excel it in the depth of their malignity and the coarseness of their vitupe ration_ The Times has represented throughoutthe whole course of its history all that was arrogant and cowardly, all that was blindly rash and stupid ly reactionary amongst the English people. It has invariably appealed to the selfish in stincts and ignoble prejudices that belong to every people in every age. Simple men wonder why the Times has succeeded. Its success is no peculiarity for the English people. It is successful because it has always misrepresented, ridiculed, and traduced every measure of rellunn set on foot sines* its first number was published. The Times always reckons on the support of a large number of constant readers—persons who worship themselves - In the act of adoring their favorite mouthpiece, and who, when they read the columns of the Times, are I accustomed to say ‘i them's my _sentiments." [Laughter.] The Times commenced its existence at a time when to oppose reform was fashionable and profitable. By good management it secured a position, obtained early intelligence, acquired wealth, and showed enterprise. The correspond ents of the Times have always re-echoed the opinions of their masters. Once Dr. Russell was sent to Ireland to report- a great monster meeting in favor of repeal. It was at a time when the Irish pedple were much enraged against the Times and its correspondent for its long-continued misrepre sentation of them. The people were determined that Russell should no longer villify them, so they - took measures toprevent his attendance at their meetings. He communicated with O'Connell upon the subject, and begged him to see that he was protected. The Liberator stated that he would do so, and himselfac companied him to the meeting, and implored the people not togive vent to their desire of revenge against one whom he had made his guest. Paper and table were Provided him, and just as he was about commencing his speech Mr. O'Connell turned around and inquired of Dr. Russell if he was ready. The Liberator then proceeded, and harangued his audience in the true Irish tongue, and Dr. Russell was foiled. [Laughter.] For two years the Times had a correspondent in the South. This gentleman is the brother of a peer of the realm, a man of edu cation and abilities, having mixed in the highest circles of English society. He, too, has misrepre sented the people and institutions of this country, and pandered to the - prejudices of the home readers. Another correspondent, Dr. Mackay, dates his let ters from New York. From this gentleman better things were expected. He has labored with a zeal and indpstry most remarkable in the cause of the South, with - a view of doing all the harm in his pow er to the cause of truth and liberty. Deeply is it to be regretted that a man like Dr. Mackay should }Lave made himself the companion and friend of Fernando Wood and Vallaniligham. We have Copperheads among our public men—in the House of Lords men like Brougham, and in the House of Commons men like Laird, - Lindsay, Gregory, and Roebuck. Of Lord Brougham Air. Thompson would speak with forbearance. Brougham should be viewed with indulgence, in consideration of the fact that he is old and in his dotage. We should not overlook the difference that exists between Lord Brougham of the present day and Henry Brougham of other days ; how, in days one 1.r.,7, he was the eloquent champion of the rights of the slave and the zealous promoter of reform in his own country. How often has that voice been raised against slavery 1 But he has lived too long. He has ceased almost wholly to be an authority. He Stands the shadow of a mighty name. Next to Lord Brougham, Mr. Roebuck is the most melancholy instance of wasted and perverted powers that later days had produced. He and the speaker were young men together, and in the de bating society young Roebuck was an ardent friend of liberty. He was the champion of universal free dom and emancipation. He was the associate of the most advanced reformers of the day. In 1832 he went into the first Reform Parligment. While there he supported the People's Charter, the most radical manifesto put forth in England during the present century; but how are the mighty fallen! Mr. Roe buck is now a stagnant pool of sand and water—use less acrid, dissolving. Be now performs the dirty work of Jefferson Davis. He makes motions in fa vor of the recognition of the rebels, and has, in a re centinstanee,pronounced the Gle.ernment at Wash ington base, cowardly, and corrupt, and declared that the American war was a blot upon human na ture. It is but just to say that this language, when uttered, was repudiated and condemned by the House of Commons. [Applause] An indulgent constituency permits Mr. Roebuck to retain his Seat in the. Legislature, in consideration of past ser vices; but this Copperhead traducer of this country is _punished by the perfect impotence of his malice. We have a distinguished Copperhead author in England, Mr. Spence, who is likewise a distin guished merchant in Liverpool. In 1861, ho gave the world a volume on the subject of Secession, in which he justified the revolt of the South. His work has gone into the fourth edition. Mr. Spence has sought to serve the cause of the rebels if writ ing letters continuously to the Times, over the ini tial ,4 S." Poe some time Mr. Spence acted as the agent of the Confederate Government. On one oc casion he said he was not prepared to vindicate slavery in the abstract. For this he was cashiered by the authorities at Richmond. For one year we had a Copperhead Lord Player of the city of Lon don. Usually, London is very radical. Three days after he was elected, wishing to accumulate honors, he offered himself for a seat in Parliament to the representatives of the city of Southampton. I of fered myself as his opponent for the purpose of cor recting some opinions in regard to America. Re invited Mr. Mason to his banquet, and towards the end of the festivities he gave the toast to "our guests," and mentioned Mr_ _Mason's name. We who belonged to the Union party, were not disposed to rest under the stigma which the Lord Mayor sought to cast upon us, by feting the author of the fugitive slave law. In a day or t wo there Was an election for presddent of St. 13artholomew , s • tal, and the Lord alutyor has always been elected to this position. But this time. by a vote of 74 to 11, another gentleman, not the Lord :Mayor, was elect ed_president. [Applause.] ale. Thompson proceeded to- explain why the pee -ple of England- were 50 slow in manifesting their sympathy with the Union. When they heard that this country was engaged in war, they hoped that the rebellion would Birimeith, toy iead to a proebt nation of freedom to the slaves • la t instead or that, many facts found their way over the water which were used to your disadvantag e. The inaugural address of Mr. Lincoln gave little hope for human freedom. Then followed the resolution of Congress discouraging the idea that • slavery would be in the slightest degree affected, however success ful the military operations of the North would be. Then there was the disallowance of the - proclamation of Fremont in Missouri, and the recall -of that distinguished officer, who, in England, was considered peculiarly fitted to carry on the war against his Southern enemies. [Great applause.] Then there was the language of the Republicans in this country. Some of your leading Republican papers denounced Abolitionists as playing into the Lands of the rebels. Then there was the Presi dent's letter to air. Greeley—though, it must be said, it was just such a letter that Mr. Lincoln could not help writing under the circumstances. These things were referred to to show whether there was not some cause for the repression of that feel ing which was always ready to burst forth when it was found that the American people meant to put "down the rebellion by putting down slavery, [AP ii]anse.) You could not expect the people of Eng land to take that interest hi the salvation of the 'Union that they did in the abolition of slavery. On the 7th of March, 1862, commenced the changein English sentiment, when Mr. Lincoln sent a uses- Page to Congress asking it to indemnify the Border States , in case they should deem it fit to emanci pate their slaves. Then came the purging of the District of Columbia from slavery t after that, the enforcement of the Fedemllaws for the suppression of slave traders; then your recognition of Liberia. ;Then came the treaty with England, granting to cted of kngland the right to search ves.sels suspe being engaged in the slave trade. Then the immor tal proclamation of the Ist of January, 1863, which declared that on that day three millions of slaves were thenceforth and forever tree. [Applause.] Well, since then, and even before, you had friends in multitudes In England. We never had more so cieties enlisted in behalf of anti-slavery than exist te-dav ; never had more meetings held, more speeches made for the purpose of correcting public Sentiment on the subject of America. What has been the result? England is at this hour in sympa thy with America. Always remember that there are two England& One England has never been your friend, and never will. There is an England that hates your institutions; the England that taxed and oppressed you. There is another England, that has always been with you that rejoiced in your in pendenee, and has blecged you for the many favors you have conferred upon the millions of our coun trymen that have sought your shores. That England is with you that wrung Catholic Emancipation from a bigoted Parliament of Orangemen, that wrung the abolition of slavery from a Parliament of West Indians. Since 1859, the speaker had devoted himself to the service of this country [applause]. Ile had done it without pay or promptin without any communication, direct or indirect, 'with any single individual in this country connected with any political party, and, going through the country as he had done, he had oppo - rtunities of knowing who are with the Americans and who against them. Oh! the devotion with which the Ivorblui?:, , men stood by the American Government in its present great strug gle. They had endured poverty and starvation ra ther than countenance the rebels. The name of President Lincoln, when sounded; was always the key-note of the greatest enthusiasm. [Applause.] They were earnest in their endorsement of the title given Mr. Lincoln by Garibaldi, "Liberator of the slaves of Anierica. , Mr. Thompson said that he had no time left him to speak of the Copperheads Of America. But, if you take care or them, he con tinued, we in England will take care of ours. [Ap plause.] I should like to pay my respects to them, but it is now impossible. I wilt only say a word in conclusion : That I sym pathize with you in your great struggle ; that my heartpalpitates, as well as yours, in expectation of the tidings you are momentarily awaiting, I need not say. I humbly pray that your arms may be crowned with success. - Oh, my -fiends ! little did ,your illustrious forefathers, those men who Sat in ' this city, not far from where I stand this moment— little did they think what they were doing when they agreed to tolerate the great evil of slavery among them. They thought that slavery would Soon die. But it lived to make six slave States in crease to fifteen, to make two hundred thousand squaremiles of slave soil nearly eight hundred thou sand square miles, and to multinly slaves from five hundred thousand to four anea quarter millions. It lived to split your Union—to overthrow your Constitution—to deluge your country in blood— lived to east the emblems of mourning over your licarth-stones, and still lives—fierce, furious, and insatiate—erying, "give, give, give PY Will you let it live, or kill it once for all? You must destroy slavery, or slavery will destroy you. Now is the time to lay the basis of a regenerated nation. It must be reared upon foundations: that are as broad as the principles' of eternal justice, and as Impartial as the love of Ilim who made of one blood all the families of the earth.

'FITE FIRE DEPARTMENT.—The annual re port of the Uhief Engineer of the Fire Department for the year ending Nov. 1, BM, has just been pub lished. it sets forth the following facts : There are eighty-nine comminies in the depart ment, thirty-six of which have steam engines, thir ty-ftve hand engines, one hundred and seventeen hose carriages, nine hook-and-ladder trucks ; there are also fifteen hundred and ninety-six foot of lad ders, one hundred and fifty axes, eighty-six thou sand one hundred and eighty feet of hose, and one thousand and seventy-one feet of suction hose. The total number of members is twelve thousand one hundred and nineteen, and connected with the com panies are thirty-six engineers, thirty-six drivers, seventy-nine horses, and thirty-five ambulances. During the year DM there were three hundred and thirty-two - tires in this city, the total loss from which. was $400,264, on which there was an insurance of 46100,656. The aggregate original cost of the steam engines was $1.'28,390, and of tile hose carriages,hand engines, and trucks, $150,862.50.

Of the 12,119 members, about one sixth have their names inscribed upon the active roll. The balance, comprising the honorary and con tributing members, are nearly equally divided. Aside from the apparatus, the companies own a large amount of other property. The value of their real estate is $422,450, and of the personal $60,924.50. ANOTHER RAILROAD HOMICIDE. -A little child, two years old, named Alex:111(1er Reed, was run over at Twenty-second and Vine streets, by a passenger railroad ear, on Saturday. Both legs of the unfortunate child were horribly lacerated and broken. The sufferer was conveyed to the Penn sylvania Hospital, but death ensued in a few minutes after admission. In the language of a re cent jury of the coroner, "had the drzver of the car been more careful, the probability is the child would vol hare been killed." Such a verdict as this is simply a premium to drivers to be reckless. Such involuntary homicides as the above are almost a daily occurrence. In a recent case of child-killing, the mother, a poor widow, had not the means to bury it. She made application to the railroad company for material assistance, but the cold shoulder was given her, and she was cruelly turned away. In consequence of this an appeal was made from the pulpit of a large church in the southern section of the city in her behalf. DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT. —A pleasure party at the Tamany fish-house on the Jersey shore, opposite the northern part of Philadelphia, was suddenly gloomed on Friday afternoon by an amt. dent.

TIIE POLICE. [Before Mr. Alderman Willie.] Larceny and Accidental Arrest. Ellen McLaughlin was arraigned on Saturday before the police magistrate of the Fifth ward on the charge of the larceny of a basket containing three leghorn hats, the property of dirs. Catharine Baford, Of White Hill, N. J. It seems that Mrs. B. came to this city on Fri day, having in her possession the three bonnets, that she desired have 'done up" for her children. She stopped at a store on Second street, near Walnut, and placing the basket containing the leghorns near the - front of the store, proceeded bark to look at some arti cles of household furniture. When she returned she discovered that her property was gone. Some one had stepped him the store unobserved,and adroitly removed the basket and its contents. Mrs. liginford searched the streets, but could not dis cover the thief. She - finally stopped at the store of an actinainta.neA, near Seeondand South streets,' and related the circumstance.

This is a perrormance, to compel the defead ant to execute a re lease and extinguishment of a ground - rent. The de fend:tut cold to John McDowell, whose tato complain ant owns, a lot in Philadelphia upon a ground-rout of *MAO, payable half-yearly in "lawful silver money of the United Slates of America. " The deed contains the" following clause of redemption: Provided, always, nevertheless, that if the said John McDowell, or his heirs or asidgns, shall and do at any time hereafter pay or cause to lie paid unto the said Mary hl. Bri Mon, her heirs er assigns, the sum of three thousand five hundred and twenty-five dollars lanful money as aforesaid, and the arrearages of said yearly rent to the time of such payment, then [be RAMC shall forever thereafter Cease and be excing,nished, and the covenant for the pay mont thereof shall becomo void. and then the said Mary M.

Toe question hi the constitutionality or the legal-ten der act was raised in the argument, and the ease rested on the grc,und,.: that the subject of payment wag net a dobt, but an <Wale subject to redemption only on stipn- Intro terms, and that the owner of the rent only bar gained that the owner of the land might buy il. off upon fixed terms. " I think neither of these po,itiens inn correct: The stun which was agreed to he grid in extinguishment of the rent is nut :in estate, %V bell tine owner of the land &cots to pay it. The mistake is in confounding the value of (inc interest or estate which the4.IWIICr of tine ground rent has in the ground relit with the price or coin to be paid to extinguish it. Unquestionably. the interest of the groaud-rent owner is really subject to dmicent, to execution, and to at icnatiou as real estate, but the mo ney which the purchaser of the land agreed to pay is the price or consideration of the estate of tine ground.- rent owner paid to extinguish it. What was the transaction? The ground-rent owner was the owner of the land. He agreed to Nell it to the purchaser for au alternative conseteration; to wit—the interest of the price, 8211 00, payable annually forever if the purchaser chosos se to pay; or, when he elects, the price itself', Ftc-3,09.1.5. The consideration is, therefore, *2ll fill annually, or $3,52.5 when the purchaser chooses so to pay it. When the deed wac made the case then stood thus: The grantee became vested with a freehold of inheritance in the land, and the grantor with an in corporeal hereditament in the rent, subject by the terms of the conveyance itself (not a new bargain) to be divested by the payment of the price in the alternatiyo form after election. Thus, a simple analysis of the transaction shows that the purchaser, when he elects to pay the principal, does fie In6re than pay the tines act upon the property by the terms of the original bargain, and that at the moment when he makes his election to cease paying the annual price and pay the Principal, he has made it a debt; that is, a . specific sum of money, which, by the deed, he owes, and agrees to pay when Ito elects to do so. What be pays is not tin estate, but it is that which he pays for the estate. It is money, it is specific and cer tain, and it is that which he has agreed by express torsos to pay to extinguish the estate of the ground rent owner. What is this but a debt? luwhat does it differ from any other contract where au option or election is given to the payer? Suppose the subject of sale to bo a chattel instead of land, and the purchaser agrees to pay the annual interest of the price forever, or, at leis op tion, to pay the priocipal , does the want of power in the vendor to compel him to make his election i'to pay the Principal change the character of the principal as a debt when he does elect to pay it? How is this case any dif ferent? If tile ground rent owner cannot enforce pay ment of the principal, it is not because the moray, when offered to be paid, is not of tbe nature , of a debt, but be cause he has given his grantee an option to pay in either way. It is his deed or contract which prevents the ex action, not the nature of the sum to he paid. It is a sum of money arisi n), in contract; it is the price of an estate; it is paid to extinguish it; and it is certain and fixed. If this be not a debt, what is? The other objection is not more sound, that the owner of the ground rent only bargained that lie would sell on stipulated terms. The idea, as I understand it, is this: That by the terms of this clause the owner of the ground rent oilers to sell the ground rent to.the grantee upon his paying to the former so many dollars in silver money, and that until the grantee comes to his terms he is not bound by the offer; but it is an unaccepted proposition until the grantee comes up to his terms of silver money. This is fallacious. The redemption clause is not a con tract for a future sale of the ground rent, but is a provision for the cessation and extinguishment of the ground rent when the stipulated price, the sum already agreed upon for the purchase, shall lie paid. It is a proviso that 'when the sum is paid, with arrears of the yearly rent, then the same (to wit, yearly rent) shall forever there after cease and be extin °nulled, and the covenant for the payment thereof shall become void.'' It was, therefore, not an offer to sell, but the sale had been made, the deed was its execution, and the clauses mere ly provided for the alternative mode of payment. This Will be the more manifest from the nature of the deed. it conveys the land for the nominal consideration of one dollar; a present valuable consideration introduced to give the deed the legal effect of a feoffment or deed with living of selsin. But the real consideration is the cove nant of the grantee to pay the annual interest or rent; or when he so elects, the stipulated price in full; and the grantor prestesitly covenants in the deed that the pay ment, when made, shall extinguish the covenant to pay rent. The instrument is operative at the time of its date, and needs no new act of the grantor to give it effect. It is because the grantee so provided and covenanted in the deed itself that extinguishment takes place. It is true the deed provides for a release and discharge of the yearly rent; but this, it Is manifest, was but to pre serve the evidence, and provide for a clean record; so that the registry which shows the charge should also show the discharge. The operative act is the payment. There can be no doubt that payment in itself discharges the rent, and if the ground-rent owner should die the next moment, the evidence of the payment would be all ;sufficient for the owner of the land; and the reason is, that this is the provison of the deed itself. On payment being made, the language is: "Then the same (rent) shall forever thereafter cease and become extin guished.ta - -- It fellows from these considerations that the demur rer is nut well taken. It must be overruled, and the defendant is ordered to answer the bill within thirty days from the tiling of the order. Quarter Sessions—Judge Thompson.
