it himself.

RECEPTION' OF CAPTAThT LUCE IN
NE TV YORK.

The New York papers contain the followin?
account of the reception of Captain Luce by his
friends :
Captain James C. Luoe arrived at his home in Yon-
kers on Monday night, at half-past 9 o'clock. He.eamizi
down from Troy in the Albany express train, and every-
where along the line of the, railroad was receiied with
the greatest demonstrations ofjoy. He arrived in Troy
by the Northern line about half-past 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, where a company of 2,000 citizens were as-
sembled to receive him. .When he came forth from the
train, an enthusiastic shout 'went up from the assembled
mass that made the welkin ring throughout the entire
city. Ile was overwhelmed with the congratulations of
the numerous friends who rushed upon him; to grasp
hint by the hand and 'congratulate him on his safe de-
liverance from the perils o' the deep. Having no time
to wait, the gallant captain could do no more than
simply think his various friends for their interest
his safety. Tbeeramtmedeft -Albany -at-' firs "o!cloc)s.
where there was another company at the depot aesembleed
to receive him. As soon as he arrived here, from hun-
dreds came the shout, "Nine cheers for the gallant
tar who would not desert his ship." Cheer fellowtid
cheer, given with all the enthusiasm of the soul, till the
train was lost in the distance. At every stopping place
along the line of the railroad the same scene was enacted.
At some places where the ears did not stop, hundreds
were assembled to give him three 'cheers as he passed
by, At Hudson there was a verT large meeting, and
the rush into the cars to get a glimpse at the rescued
commander soon crowded them from the locomotive to
the rear car. All appeared to be mad with delight at
the preservation and return of him who resolved " to
stand by his vessel till she sunk."
Captain Luca stopped at Yonkers, with one or two of
his companions, rescued from the Arctic. He looks
much careworn, naturally to be expected from the load
of grief which has weighed him down. Mr. G. F.
Allen came in company with Captain Luce, but not
stopping at Yonkers, he continued on to the city. The
public heart bleeds in sympathy with him, who returns
so sadly to his home, leaving his wife, child, and many
relatives buried in the sea.
About half an hour before his arrival, at least 500 'of
his townsmen—among whom were a large number of his
intimate friends—assembled in front of the depot to wel-
come him. Although the first intention of the people,
on hearing the news of his safety, was to receive him with
the ringing of bells and the firing of guns, their better
judgment, and the thought that many valuable lives
were lost, caused them to moderate the expression of
their joy On his return to a home to which it was believed
he was lost for ever. The train was detained on the road
about ten minutes beyond the usual time, and the people
were becoming a little impatient, when the sound of the
approaching locomotive was heard. In an instant they
formed in two lines, while Judge Woodworth, James
Scriinser, and other intimate friends, proceeded to the
cars to welcome him. After the congratulations—which
were few, but sincere—were over, Captain Luce was
conducted through the lines, every man in which took
off his hat. Not a cheer was given, nor was there any
outward expression of rejoicing, but the tears which be-
dewed the eyes of many told how deep was the feeling
ofjoy which pervaded the crowd. After passing through
the line and receiving the silent but expressive congratu-
lations of his friends, he was conducted to a carriage
which conveyed him to his home. The crowd, with a
feeling of delicacy which did them credit, stopped when
they came within about a hundred feet of his residence,
and only a few friends accompanied him to the
door. There they left him ; who can express the in-
tense joy of her who was plunged into such profound
grief by the news of the terrible &raster ? No one
intruded upon the sacred privacy of that meeting, but
after seeing him. to his home the multitude immediately
dispersed.
We understand that Captain Luce was in the city yes-
terday, and visited the office of Messrs. E. K. Collins
and Co., in Wall-street ; and under the impression that
he would meet his friends on 'Change to receive their
congratulations for his safety, a larger gathering than
usual was present at the usual Lour of convening. But
out of delicacy towards the heroic captain, who had not
had time to recover, either mentally or phy.ically, from
his late awful sufferings, he was advised to postpone the
meeting of his friends to another opportunity. When he
left town he went to Mr. Collins s residence, at New
Rochelle.

On Sunday, the kith inst., the churches were
thronged in every nook and corner by crowds of
people eagerly listening to the expatiations of di-
vines upon the loss of the Arctic. The Rev. Dr.
Cheever delivered an eloquent and impressive ser-
mon at the Church of the Puritans, and passed a
severe censure upon the cowardly conduct of the
firemen and sailors of that vessel, and said that
men might as well put themselves in the care of pi-
rates on the Atlantic as trust to those who, in im-
minent danger, will cut away the boats for them-
selves and leave the passengers to sink, without so
much as aiding even in the construction of a raft
for their possible salvation. The reverend gentle-
man concluded by passing a high eulogium on the
public and private virtues of Mr. Samuel M. Wood-
ruff, one of the lost passengers, and a member of
his congregation.
