THE PRoYrrs or CHURCH BUIpNa-THE

VALUE OF REAL EsTArE.-The congregation
worshipping at the Broadway Tabernacle, h. 90
offered SIPS 900 for DR.. Dewey's Church Of the
Messiah. which is about to move IN town
where real estate is cheaper. and congre
cations reside. Not less, hc, ~ever than $780,
600 will be accepted. durteen years ago the
ground on which thi.e church was erected cost
$4,000 and the koilding $50 600 making in all
$4,000. The profits in fourteen years may be,
therefore, ascertained by the simple operation
of subtraction. thus =
Present price. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. l5oooo
Clear profit. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. S540oo
These facts and figures prove two things
frst. that the value of real estate in the lower
part Of the city. has wonderfully increased dur
ing the last fourteen years. and second that
building churches, selling them and building
again upon other sites, is very money making
operation. Though according to st. Paul.
the love Of money is the root Of all evil" this
mode Of speculation is extensively practised by
some people in New York and it is very plain
that the color Of the cloth man wears. OF his
profession Of piety. does not prevent his wor-
chip Of II the almighty dollar" or stained glass
windows.
The MAINE LIQUOR LAw-THE LADIES'
MOVEMENT IN THE AssExBLY.-We recommend
to the careful perusal Of all concerned, and
especially to the ladies Of New York, the highly
graphic, eloquent, and indignant poetical
assault which we publish in this paper, upon
the extensive and pernicious habit OF hard
drinking. The poem is explanatory, to the full
est extent, of the objects Of the late formida-
BILE invasion Of the Legislature by the tenth
legion" Of the strong-minded women Of our
progressive commonwealth, in the great Maine
law movement. Let King Alcohol tremble in
his shoes. The ladies are in the iield-they
claim as woman's first right the right to a sober
husband, and they must have the Maine law
Mark time. We are on the eve of a great revo-
luton. Thank God this is free country, and
success to woman's rights.
Who Is RIGHT John Bright, Esq, NJ p, in
recent speech in Manchester England, rela-
tive to Gen. Cass's remarks in the Senate, said :
The Britannia was
subscriber to which he had met and the Sun
an evening paper, with but small circulation. To
represent what said in these journals expression
Of the opinion Of the people of England unjust
though he r SIsh} were to say that certain thing
the people and Legislature Of the United States.
This M. P. may be bright man in the English
Parliament, ON free trade and women rights, but
as to the position Of the New YORK HERALD, he is
deep-very deep in error. We refer him to the
result Of the late Presidential election in this
country as the most recent proof that the
HERALD is true reflex Of the opinions and SEN
timents Of the great American people.
HORACE GREELEY IN MAssACHUsETTs.-The
principal philosopher Of the Tribune, for some
days past, has been working as lobby men,
Der in behalf Of the Maine liquor law, in the
Massachusetts, Legislature. The Boston Courier
evidently suspects him, also, Of intriguing to Sc
cure another free soil Senator from the Bay
State, and admonishes him that after the re-
suits of the late Presidential election, he had
better go home We think 80 too. He had
better come home, and look after the Maine law
movement and Women's Rights, at Albany.
The Wings of Massachusetts, don't want him
They have found him out. Finally, our phi
losopher has come home. It is well.
