BY Express Highly Important from Rester

New York is undoubtedly the most wonderful city
in the world. Wonders certainly never will cease
in this city. We have not yet recovered from
wonderful defeat by the ocofocos, and the still
wonderful disclosures made by Mrs. Cove, when we
asonished with another wonde ru announc me Mt
brought on express from Boston by the Rev DR..
Hullabaloo, Ballou, for the special ediicatcn Of
the people of this astonishing city.
When the Rev Mr.. Hulabao (Which being in
terpreted, means He'll exploded) made this n
ing discovery, we know not only know that he
came on here express from Boston on Friday, made
Heterogeneous Saturday, and yesterday revealed
his important discovery to large, fashionable and
pious party at the Fourth Universalist Church. No
other paper has the netcs,

Ballou solemny asserts it to be- He says that there
is no devil, no hell no damnation no birthstone pit

nor fury, nor anything TO torment us in the other
world.
Heaven and earth! what are we coming tot The
reverend gentleman says he speaks from official
sources and no doubt he has documents to sustaia
his statements, perhaps he has been on an expor-
ing expedition to the place. and knows by personal
observation.
What we TO do in this matter? What do the
clergy Of this city say to these facts! Ii is mposs
bic for them to think Of setting still under such
astounding disclosures Only think of the extraor-
binary bearing this discovery will have on all the
important topics now on the tapis in New York
Dr. Ballou's church was crowded with beautiful
womenand pious men, and they all religiously be-
heve that he is right IN what he SAYS and no doubt
they will sustain them. Indeed we never saw 30
much enthusiasm and lively zeal the ladies mani
tested when he assured them the honor Of pious
parson that there was neither devil, hel-fre brm-
stone. nor brong over hot Goals hereafter The
beautiful women seemed relieved from an immense
load on their minds, they looked more lovely and
beautiful than ever, and a natural conse onenec
they gave freely 10 the collection taken up at the
close 81 the sermon. Every lovely woman mt her
dear little hand into her purse and emptied lis con-
tents into the plate-whereat the sub-trcasur,rs
groaned and .runted their thanks.
DR.. Balou IS great and pious mamie preached
three times yesterday, and every time he told the
same straight story-as straight as poker or new

wasa fabulous character, and had an

the ignorant, and make them worship in a peculiar
way. But in the present enlightened day the truth
must be told and the truth is there is no dc vii and

This IS the substance Of Dr. Ballou's sermons. ssd
