| RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN NEw YoRK.-We live
In glorious age-and are undoubtedly great peo-
pie. And while the devil is busy with one halt OF
our tree and Independent population, winning their
souls by Italian extravaganzas and enchanting
fddlesticks the saints busy with the other
haf-and if there are but few straggers along the
narrow path, il will not be for want of preachers;
all offering salvation, some free gratis for nothing
some at six and quarter cents ahead, some at
shilling, and some at whatever il may be consider
ed worth, flom red cent to Plainfield shinplas-
ter; but all inspired with the great and philan-
thropic wish TO save their fellow men, and to
wear black coats, sleek chops, and all this with
out drifting their hands,at an honest trade, or an
honorable employment.
To-day strong effort will be made to shake the
devil from his underground. First on the list,
the St. Judes Episcopal Free Church offers to re-
ceive Episcopalians and others for anything or
thing, and the inducement offered is not from the
Bible or from Denis Theology, but the word is
Enterprise Not the pure and orthodox religion of
the protestant church, but the individual enterprise
OF new school enthusiast, whose only aim is,
pence and DR.. Pussy.
The next invitation comes from teacher of ma
vigation and the sciences connected with mathe-
mates at Vocal Hall, whose price for dose of
natural science is six and a quarter cents, just
seventy-fve per cent less than box of Brand
reth's pills. Oh, Vale Vale.
| The next, inspired with horror for babes and
baby-linen mounts the pulpit in Columbian Hall
douce Scotch wench, fat, fair and forty, who
breaches without breeches and offers to show that
the vile mass of lying, cheating, scheming corrup-
ton, in Wall street, will in time become pure
Eden before Mother Eve bit that apple.
The next is, a cry of Second Advent. Prepare or
be id for ever Ian opposition invitation-the
from an Elder the other from Brother-each, how
ever, strenuous to prove by signs and wonders in
heaven and earth, that the day of judgment is at
hand, and that New York will be but a clinker-
cnder in the heap of ashes and bone-dust to which
this beautiful and bountiful earth, with its lovely
women, It's fruits, its flowers, its hills, its valleys,
It's streams and its steam engines, will be imme-
diatey, if not sooner, reduced to.
Yet some entertain hopes, that our young men
may see visions, and that young women may
dream dreams and become in time mammas of
fair and hopeful little ones ; and that they may
learn the way in which to train them up, so that
when they are old, they won't do no otherwise,
the Rev. Abel G. Thomas proposes to give a lee
ture at the Brooklyn Tabernacle, addressed to
young gentlemen, and in the evening, another to
young ladies'; but whether it is on Love, Courtshp
or Marriage, we are in the dark-perhaps it will be
little on each, and on the whole, tor the colec-
ton which follows.
The Rev. G. H. Fisher holds out the same in
ducements in this city at Market street Church,
where he will deliver his fifth lecture, on ''Prepa-
ration for the duties oflife' of course married and
single.
II the liberal, moral, benevolent and philan-
thropc minds ofall parties sects, trades and profess
sions'' not able to collect wisdom from each and
all of these, then let them go to National Hall, Ca
nal street, where they will be enlightened on SUBJ
ject of paramount interest to the welfare of man.
kind; but whether it is to whistle and chew meal at
the same time, or to rattle beans in night-cap.
we cannot inform them; but if they will only
buy three cents worth of bad brandy at the bar
on entering, no doubt the bar-keeper will af.
ford them every information besides, the BRAN
dy will excite the spirit, and give zest to
the dribblings of some modern Fourierite -
Oh, Age of bronze, brass, and shnplasters give us
some circulating medium which cannot be shaved
at the counters of Brokers, Bishops, and Jackson
vile Bankers; and when you shall have restored
that precious jewel to all honest christians, then
may hope to get rid of this canting crew of hy-
pocritical, clustering blaspheming revilers, who
make man their monkey, and show him up to his
fellow-man for coppers.
