The CoMMoswEALTH.-The Rev Henry Ward
Beecher delivered lecture before the New-York
Young Mems Christian Union, in DR.. Chapins Church,
Broadway, last evening Notwithstanding the cold
ness of the weather, the church was well filed,
large proportion Of the audience being ladies. The
lecturer commenced by describing the elements from
which commOnwealths spring into existence, and by
which they are kept in existence. He assumed that
king and kingdom natural state Of society but
commonwealth was a state Of conversion from
nata condition. No desposm more infnnged upon the
rights Of commonwealth, than the despOtsm OF faml
lies and in this commonwealth of ours the tyranny
over wives and children by some democrats was
disgrace 10 the most liberal commonwealth. Monar'
chies and Republics had their nobility; but that of
the one is confined to class, while that
of the other, with all its privileges, is die
- 10 nd
cby, the mobiles ore protected; under repubcanism,
the people who are the mobiles Of any commonwealth,
are protected also. The idea of commonwealth pre-
supposes form Of government impartial as the sum-
which shining, as it does upon all is mindfal of
the poor mans cot as the millionaire mans0ni which,
as it sends it, rays downward, and all around to bless
ard make glad the earth takes knowledge of the king
in his paatia grandeur, and forges not thu subject
who is Gods king, governing the elements that are 10
produce the common good, and which determine
place for commonwealth. The foundation of all true
commonwealth was, " Do unto others as you would
they should do unto YOU and Love your neghbOr
"as YOURSELF" for the common good ia the offspring
Of love. Great men bat babes, are only what
the weakest might become. Man was the most sacred
element that entered into the commonwealth man
could run up block Of houses in two months but II
had taken four thousand years TO develop the man.
The lecturer paid telling tribute to the memory OF the
late Geo. Steers who he said, had died not too early
for his own fame, bat for his countrys good. God
never intended that men should be equal, but he de-
creed that they should have equal rights in the exer
else Of their varied capacities. Men have common
rights Man has q right to himself and all the crcum
stances around him, SO far as he may be able TO
control them Otherwise, he would be Ike nationa
navy without to sail i'll. Upon the power OF the
baIot.box he stated that had more strength than
the Declaration Of Independence itself. The lat
ter might be termed gitterirg generalities by some,
but he would refute the caumny by the small slip at
the baIot.bOx. The Church was stigmatized as the
most conservative institution of America, and that
because the conservatism OF free people demanded
vent, and found response in the Church The Press
was then considered Of the most Indispensable ele
ments in the perpetuity of the commonwealth when
men were too poor to buy newspaper, they could
hardly afford to live. The two cheapest things on the
American Continent were Reading and Rum. The
valuable service Of Religion in the sustaining of the
Commonwealth was the concluding theme, and the
lecturer closed BY an appropriate prayer
HOP AT THR METRoPoLIrAS.-The second annual

nesday night. The grand dining hall was brilliantly

A PROPER REsrGSArIos-Eistory records many
instances Of men famous for proaigacy, who, oversken
at last by memorable fate have met the hna ooS WIN
digDfied resignation, leaving
a name 70 other times,
Linked with one virtue and a thousand eTimes
Another shining example Is likely to be ADDED 70 tue
LIST. Mayor Wood, in view Of the sword now hanging
over bis head proposes to make his one virtue oil
necessity and, ike wenbred dog, who sees prepa-
"ratons for kicking him out, walk quietly down stairs
His berest opponents cannot fail to cal this an act
Of most becoming resignation.
