The 4" HALLELuJAH." ."-Speaking OF
this work, the ". Y Tribune says
Mr.. Lowell Mason, the eminent COM
poser of psalmody, is preparing new
book of Church Music, to be called Tie
Halklujah. Mr.. Mason has not brought
out any book Except his Musical Let
ters,) of which he was the sole author,
since the publication of Carmina Saera
in lS4l. Over three hundred and fifty
thousand copies of Carmina Saera have
been sold, and it has been more highly
valued and more extensively used than
any similar publication. The books
which in their day come nea rest to a
similar popularity were the Handel and
Haydn Society's Collection, and the
Boston Academy's Collection-both by
Mr.. Mason. The first legitimate sue
cessor of such works must now come be-
fore the public with peculiar interest
and such is to be the new book now
nearly completed by Mr.. Mason. He
has for several years devoted most of his
time to its preparation, during which be
has spent eighteen months in Europe,
under auspicious circumstances. 1t is
understood that THE HaAelujah will not
follow the beaten track of its predeces-
sors, but that it will be new in some
thing more than the name.
THE REPORTERS MANUAL, by An
drew j. Graham-published by Fowlers
& Wells, 13l Nassau-st, N. Y.-is a
complete exposition of the reporting
style of photography. The benefits of
knowledge of the Photographic art, in
this age of lectures, sermons, conven-
tions, meetings, and newspapers need
not be spoken Of. The old long-band
style of writing is altogether to cumber-
some for this fast age-this age of
" lightning presses" The Reporters
Manual is, We should judge, a work
well adapted to further the student in a
knowledge of the very important art Of
short t.hand writing.

PUBLIC MEETINGS.
L. S. UNIvERsALIsr CONVENTION.
From our Own Reporter


PHILADyLPHI,. "Wednesday, sept %. 1854.
The General Convention Of Cniversalsts Of the
United States met this morning at the Uniyersalist
Church in Lombsrd-st. A considerable number of
Delegates were in attendance, from the Northern
States chiefly. The Council organized BY choosing
GoRDoS +. Mason, Esq, of PENNSYLVANIA. Moder.
sfor; the Rev. A. X. ABBOTT Of Rhode Island.
Clerk; and the Rev. RICHARD EDDY Of New-York.
Assistant Clerk. Several Committees preliminary
TO business, were appointed; after which the Council
adjourned 10 listen TO the Occasional Sermon by the
Rev. T. Il. THArFR Of Lowell, Mas. The religious
services were held in the Musical Fund Hall and
were introduced by singing hymn in the primitive
style Of lining" The prayer and reading Of the
Scriptures by the Rev. j. NJ. AUSTIN Of Auburn.
n. Y. The sermon by Mr.. Tbsyer was bold and
outspoken defense of the pulpit and religion. Text
Matt. xvi, Can We not discern the sigrs Of the
times The preacher commended tina, the times de-
uand that the voice Of the pulpit should 0e for Pro-
testaDtism, patriotism and humanity. He was quite
severe upon Catholicism and Catholics in the first
branch Of his discourse, showing that the spirit OF
intolerance, now 40 rife, may enter even 30 liberal
a denomination as the Universalist The preacher
seemed TO forget that this feeling may tomorrow
be turned against his own denoinr alton, or any other
in extreme minority, like the Catholics and Unv-
versasts. His remarks upon the duty Of the pulpit
in relation to the evils Of Inenperance and Slavery
were judicious and timely. He alluded, happily, to
the willingness Of some preachers to Oh
against the Gin Palaces Of London and their delcacy
in speaking of the Rum-stops Of New-York and Phi
ladelphs. lie spoke also of those who condemn the
slavery of Hungary ans Poland bat have word to
10 utter against the infinitely worse slavery Of Amer
CO. To the ministers in his own denomination he
urged the necessity Of preaching the distinguishing
doctrine they process plainly and frequently, aver
ing that the dogma of Endless Misery is the corner
stone Of Catholicism and Of Slavery.
The Rev. c. f. FAY Of Nashua, n. H., is to preach
this Afternoon. and the Rev. T.. II. CHAPLIN in the
evening. TIE Convention will continue in session
two DAYS. ".

Those persons who we're tried and convicted dur

sors, on indictments for rio, and tumult in Man-s..
on Sunday, the 4th of June last on the occasion Of
the street-preaching excitement, srragned yea
terdsy fer sentence. Judge Moore, in passing SEN
tence, remarked that from the evidence adduced
there was no doubt in his mind thai it was precon-
certed plan the part of those who participated in
the riot and that all the elements of pre- oaraton had
been made beforehand. Although he did not believe
any good was accomplished by street preaching,
nevertheless any man had q right TO preach in the
streets without moestaton disturbance unless be
created a nuisance and if so, ii the business o.
the legal authorities to apply the remedy. ANY body
Of men, he continued, had a right 10 march IN pro
cessiOn through the streets Of this any other c'.y
without moleststion hindrance unless they

would be taken notice Of by the proper authorizes.
