Ipsrry CHURCH MovEMENTs.-The Rev. Mr.
Highly from Washington, preached in Trinity Church
on Thursday evening, before congregation consist
ing of the silver haired Trusteesthe venerable mat
rons--the amiabe aunts-and choice collection of
the young and fascinating among the intellectual and
refined
Religion, in our eye is species of the highest re-
finement-a and the man or woman who has not a
heart capable of feeling religion, of some Sort
slider to be not far removed from the animal Gre
alton.
Mr. Highly is an eloquent, pious, and interesting
speaker He gave great satisfaction to the Trustees
and all those who are good Judges. The purpose Of
fhe invitation is really to test the qualities OF Mr.
Highly and to see whether he is not fit 10 take the
place Of the Rev. Mr. Anthem, who has accepted the
call to St Marks Church
We like Mr. Highly rather better than Mr.. Schroe-
der and il the Trustees give him an invitation we
hope they will make general rise of the salaries of
their clergymen. Nothing less than $4,000 year
should be given to good clergymen. l can make
more than double that sum in publishing tive penny
paper have, indeed, to be a wit, Ounce phiIoso
pher a christian a merchant, broker, a statesman,
n politician, man of fashion-inshort, jack of all
trades SO 1 may well enough deserve TO get $l2, 900
or $4,000 year for uniting many discordantpr pro-
LESSONS in one harmonious whole. True, make
more, then should cergymsn get S5OO0a year! They
have lovely wives and large familes-fer some how
or other pretty women are fona Of the clergy and
fhs tribe Of Levi is very fruitful. am only rascal
ly bachelor.
Again, the Trustees have been making Of late great
ymms of money by shaving notes in Wall street at
two and three per cent menth. Every article Of
sumption is higher in price. SO should religion rise
in value as it rises in Importance. We insist upen IT,
that every clergyman Of Trinity Church ought to
have s5O00-even Mr.. Schroeder. Ifit does not inn
prove their eloqucnce, it will do it no harm. Try IT.
frPaorEssoa SrLLrMAs has delivered three lee
lures during the week. They have increased in intc-
rest on every successive evening The lecture room
OF the Lyceum is crowded with beauty and fashion
All our intellectual people focking to these lee
lures. The Professor is not a graceful or polished
lccturcr-but he has a great deal Of bon-hommerie,
an easy sort Of Yankee familiarity. He is worry dis
ursiye-striking off in this or that direction, just
fancy prompts him.
We heard him the other evening the coral and
coal formations. He opened to his wondering au-
dience, perfect fairy land. Oh how interesting
he il in comparison to vulgar theatres, and common
place actors
Professor Silliman proves beysnd doubt, the ex
aensve antiquity of the world-that the Catskiil
mountains were once under the ocean-that the
whole Of this continent formed under the sea-
and that was probably elevated to lis present posi-
NON by terrible internal convusi IN Of the earth.
This event may have taken place twenty or thirty
thousand years since, sooner or later
III astronomy a science Of the greatest magnih-
cence, geology opens the seal on some of the most
startling truths that the mind ever contemplated.
Professor Silliman continues his courses next week
II Mr. Morris of the Mirror, has not yet sent in
his donation Tor the Seamsresses Benevolent So
Getty. Aprepos-The San is not 80 liberal yesterday

Water streets there is this written in large staring
capitalists =" Mathematical instruments and Pilots

equally as efficient the New York boys.
