place of a very general, if not total closing
of - bar-rooms on Sunday, which had been ef

State, of the question of power in the case,
a number of establishments which were shut
up, have reopened and resumed their trade

NEw Yost:, Sept. 11.
Street preaching on Sunday is now a reg
'ular thing in this great Babel, and it is not
much wonder it creates riots. One of the
city papers ; the Ex - press, thus graphically
discribes a scene of the kind iut the Park..—
:' our attention was called on Sunday as we
passed through the Park (says that paper) to
the noisy cheers of the great mass of people
congregated' there, and secondly to the
aliyi
dcd multitude. On theright of the City Hall
steps there was an American citizen harangu
ing for Protestantism and George Washing
ton with all his might, and 00 the left, to an
audience two-thirds as large, an Irishman
was httranguing for Romanism and the Pope.
The foreigners and Americans were about
equal in number in the centre of the H all,
one row of fitces being turned northward, and
the other, like the faithful Mahommed, to the
East. Now the Americans would cheer as
ouae pert American sentiment ISIIS b utt erect,
and now the Irish, anti nlost boisterously, as
a good joke was told, a Native Ano-lean hit,
or the Pope defended. The zeal on both
both sides was at fever heat, an we marvell
ed acid admired to set) the multitude compar
atively quiet as the tide of passion and feel
ing rolled from the vehement speakers. The
voiees of the two orators intermingled with
each other, tind so did the shouts and groans of
the two parties. The Pope and the church,
the bishop and the pricstlawl, St. Patrick and
St. Peter found a most zealous disciple in
the nylon of the east corner, while We thing
ton and America, Protestantism and godli
ness were as watinly defended on the other
Laud. lint the whole exhibition presented to
us a sorry sight. The cheers and the groan s,,
the bad passions 4)(1 ill-natnred discussions,
the absence of every thing like the true spirit
of religion, resented a spectacle which it
was most painflll to contemplate. The cause
of rational liberty and true relh.thon tie fear,- :
is most deeply injured by such Sabbath-414
exhibitions. The only satislitetion they can
be said to afford, is a vindication of the right
of Free hisenssion and a demonstration of
.the,nhilitrof I)4)th - followers of the Pope and
of the Protestant Church to come within
arms-length ()I' each other, and while cursing
each other in their 'hearts to refrain from
knocking each other down with their fists. We
confess to much admiration at this latter spi
rit of sel6control."
The unfriendly feeling between Protestants
and Catholics, painfully visible enough in
this city, has been greatly aggravated by the
occurrences at Newark—oecurrk-nces which
constitute almost the sole ,Aloe of conversa
tion everywhere, and with everybody. Every
good citizen looks with painful apprehension
os to the ultimate consequences. Both sides
of the belligerent parties are greatTexaS
perated, and ,threats of further collisions are
openly masle.-It will require all the' conl
judgment and sound discretion of the tinthor,
ifies to calm the e,.xcited multitude.
A great trotting match - came oft' over'the
Union' Course, Long Island, on Thursday af
ternoon. It was contested by "Mac," "Theo
and "Grey Eddy." The purse $2,500
mile beats; the best three lift-five. The sec
ond best to have 'a purse of $6OO. All the
nagsrstarted—Mac, however,. was distanced.
Eddy, the celebrated trotter, it seems, came
l°
out victor, winning three heats - in the follow;
ing time, viz: 2 minutes, 33 seconds ;,'4 . min- .
hates, 31 seconde; 2 minutes,"ll-li seconds.
About 5,000 persons were present.
The nomination of Gov. Seymour by, the
"Soft" democracy at Syracuse does not seem
to be very cordially received here even, by the

lected, !the whigs, in ftiet, will hal; . e ari easy
victory. .
The Ameripp 'Protestant Association of
the city itarturd yesterday, making an itn-'
posing appearance. They formed on Arch
street at I'2 o'clock, with numerous splendid
banners, rich paraphernalia, and several ,
bands of music. The procession numbered
ninety-lie lodges, embracing 1:)78 members
on parade. They passed over every part of
the city, and were accompanied by a consid
erable detachment of Ykre police, to preservi7 .
order. \o Catholic churches were passed,
and there wi.ro no signs of riot.
All the democratic uuminees for Congress
.
and the Le:rislaturp, in - this city, have respon
ded to a letter addressed them, declaring that
they have no connection or sympathy with
the Know-Nothings.
The storm of rain nod wind yesterday was
very severe in this region. For several hours
the rain :1211 in torrents. Many cellars wore
flooded, and aboip. the . tichnyfkill as well as
the Ifela ware, 'both of which were somewhat
swollen, large quantities of timber were car
ried away. In several ivtances dwellings
were stripped of their roofs, and ,other dant
