each ward, and also for Trustee and Inspector,
takes place this day. Considerable excitement pre-

within the last few days. to induce the voters to re-
cord their votes, SO as to enable the bgots and the
fanatics at every side carry out their worst pre-

distinctive trait to the now defnct native" party
is narrowed down to a simple issue, in this contest
as to whether or not the Bible shall be introduced
in the public schools. It, Therefore, question be-
tween the fanatcal and the ultras of party and the
calm, thinking, liberal and high-minded, who look
upon those bitter prejudces, that have lattery been
infused into the debates before the Board of Educa-
ton, as derogatory to the character of true religion
and to the common principles of Christianity Tho
excitement upon the subject, has risen already to
the utmost pitch, and the result is looked to with the
deepest interest. We have, invariably, condemned
every effort on the part of the fanatcal and the pre-

their bitter anmoses into these elections, where the
simple question OF education Of the poorer classesis

ARRIVAL OF AN MISUNDERSTANDING the pas
sengers in the Great Western, are Marquis de la
Talarue and Secretary. The Marquis is fine
looking old gentleman, and has taken rooms at the
Astor.
| This gentleman is visit to this continent in
an official capacity, either minister to this
try, Mexico, or Texas, or to the three at the
time. 1t is supposed that he comes from France to
watch the movements in Texas, Mexico, and the
United States, relative to annexation. What the
result Of his mission will be none can now tell
1t is time, however, for France to see what she is
doing, in regard to Texas and this country. It is
rather dangerous step for her to take, to act in
conjunction with England in any movement
against the United States. The British government
would gain powerful point by turning the friend
ship that has for SO long time existed between
America and France into hatred She is exerting
herself to do that
| REV. DIR. TyNG's SERMoN.--St. Georges
church was thronged yesterday forenoon, where
the Rev. DR.. Tying preslded-his first discourse
since his acceptance of the call of that con-
gregaton. His text was taken from the second
chapter Of the second Book of Kings 10Th verse;
"And when the sons of the prophets which were to
view at Jericho, him, they said, the spirit of
Elijah doth rest on Elisha; and they came to meet
him, and bowed themselves to the ground before
him." The first portion of his remarks were in ex-
PLANTATION of the office of the christian ministry, in
which holy calling he had been engaged quarter of
4 century, he said. Next followed some structures
the troubles and dissensons in the church, which
arose out of the encroachment of an organized pow
s who sought to Cypress the dissentient portion and
| teach unscrptural doctrine. Against this power he
was resolved, by the help of God defend his lber
ty of action, and conduct his system Of instruction
without control. Next followed definition of the
differences existing between the two Sc ctions The
church, he held to be composed of the whole COM
pany of the elect, united in communion, fellowship
and faith. AS to matters OF worship, he claimed the
rightto preach extemporaneous, or written sermons,
at pleasure to cherish Sunday schools, hold prayer
meetings, and judge freely to what should be use
full. The conclusion consisted of an eulogy on his
late fock-a description of their ardent love for him
their mutual grief at partingthe sacrifice he had
made from sense of duty, and the candid ad-
mission that his new congregation could provide
| more handsomely for him and his than did those
from whom he was now severed. The closest atten-
ton was paid during the whole sermon.
PUsEyIsM.-The Rev. DR.. Seabury yesterday
preached sermon at his church, corner of Thomp-
son and Prince streets, the subject of the propre
ty OF praying for the souls Of the dead The congre
CATION was not very numerous and we noticed alarge
proportion of theological students amongit This
mon was in answer to one deliveredby DR.. VAIN
wright last week, in which ne disclaimed any lean
ing towards this doctrine We have notes of it, but
in consequence of the crowded state of our columns,
cannot give them till tomorrow.
SUPERINTENDENT OF PoLIcE.-Mr Kiersted, for
mery democrat and kept in office by the "natives''
last year, has been added to the list of applicants for
the Office OF Superintendent of Police. Two days
ago the Mayor resolved to nominate him. He will,
probably, be as obnoxious to the democracy Of the
city as Justice Taylor was. The democrats are call
ing out for Justice Matse, who has had experience
in the police department, and is practically acquaint
ed with the duties of the Office. We will see, how
ever, what will be done tonight.
CoNTEMPTIBLE TRIcx.-One of the penny papers
is in the habit Of issuing extras" the arrival OF
the steam ship, containing merely few paragraphs,
generally inaccurate, and thrown together at ran
dom. The poor concern to which We allude, got
of these miserable catch-pennies yesterday,
a few minutes before "extra" was published
The catchpenny gave few erroneous and incohe
rent statements, purporting to be extracts from Eng
sh papers. We gave three and a half columns OF
carefully selected matter with reports Of all the mar
kets The public, however, have learned to discri-
