 [From the New York Herald
 Considerable excitement was created in re- ligious circles in JerseyCity last evening by the report of scene that enlivened the ser vices in Trinity Methodist church in York street. between the Rev. Robert Harcourt and William s. Young, captain of the wrecked steamboat Narragansett. Mir. Harcourt had announced that his subject on Sunday even ing would be 'Iessons from the Narragansett Slaughter" /" and the church was crowded. Af- ter the opening services Mr. Harcourt began his lecture He at first told the story of the collision, and then after depicting the scenes which followed declared that the disaster was due to the negligence of the people in charge of the Narragansett. He also claimed that many lives were lost only because the Nara gansett people had made no effort to them He said ''The crew from the cap tain down were probably the biggest set of towards that were ever on boat" As he concluded this remark a tall muscular look ing man arose in his seat near the door and exclaimed, "You are liar! !" Instantly all was confusion. Women craned their necks over the galleries in their effort to see who the speaker was, and the male portion of the con- gregation gathered about the stranger and in dignantly demanded an explanation. The man refused to leave the church and contin- ued to talk loudly, declaring that if the min ister or any one else said he was coward they were liars. He finally volunteered to leave the church and go to the First Pre- cinct Police Station, in Gregory street. An immense throng had gathered in front of the church, and as the stranger made his appearance the crowd gathered about him and followed him off to the police station. Officer Thomas Barry, who had been sent for, came up with the party before the station was reached. There the man gave his name as William S.. Young of Mo- SIS Fourth street, and captain of the Narragansett. MT. Cyrus D. Shep- hard one of the trustees of Trinity church, charged him with disorderly conduct in the church, but before the captain could be inn prisoned, MT. David Taylor, another trustee, advised MT. Shephard to let the matter drop and withdraw his charge. MT. Shephard was about to do so, whensa young man among the spectators, it is supposed a, son of Captain Young, began swearing at the clergyman, and then ex-assemblyman John Owen Rouse made charge against the Captain, which was entertained, and he was placed in jail.
 A BoNDsMAN FOUND.
 Subsequently Captain Farrier removed him to the Captains office, where he was allowed to remain until he procured bail. While he sat in the office talking to number of friends, Captain Young said that any persons who accused the hands on the Narragansett of cowardice said what they knew to be false or were speaking of something they knew nothing about. He said that his crew were brave set of men ever sailed on & vessel and there was not @ coward among them. At II o'clock friend appeared who furnished bail to Justice Peloubet for the captains appearance this morning for exami- nation.
