B® Rericiovs — Yesterday, notwithstanding so inany of our citizens are absent from the city, and the sumber of strangers in Washington is much less than at other seasons of the year, the congre- zations at the various churches were very large in e forenoon. In the afternoon and at night the clouds wore a threatening appearance, and de- erred mavy from attending the services. Foundry Chapel —At 11 2. m_, the congregation was addressed by Dr. Edwards from Matthew, 24 44:—* Therefore be ye also ry for in such an hour as ye think not, the Man cometh * He remarked that the word y"? bai cation and importance which every one Perienced in the affairs of life can easily ap- se e. The traveler, as he proceeds with vurried step to take the cars for some distant point, feels the importance of being ready at the moment. The merchant feels the Importance of being ready continually; for apon this depends bis success in business) The soldier feels the importance of being prompt at bis , when upon bis promptitude depends the jom or bondage ‘of his country. The text had a solemn meaning when uttered by Christ to kis disciples. in the prophecy which precedes the text, a catas- tropbe which has never had a parallel is depicted; the Jews were to be destroyed, and in order that his disciples might escape he pointed out to them the phenomena. In due time the fall of Jerusaiem fulfilled the prophecy, and has from that time d will forever stand, as a witness to the what must be the fate of all nations that God. The decisions of the Inst judg- ment will be determined by the character of our present lives. These considerations bring us to a question, the proper answer of which covers the whole matter, viz. What is it to be ready to die? In answering this question some light may be thrown upon it by the answer to another which lies behind it, viz: W i ? Merely ceasing to be? only pping of the life bleod which now courses through my veins? i my only resurrection be that grass which grows upot ve, or the roses that bloom there? n what respectis man better than the other animals which are under his con- trol? If this be death, then disturb not my little flecting joy in this life by w hisperiog the mourn- ful sound. But, granting that death is something more than this; that after death the spirit leaves the tenement of clay and wings its way into another world, then the question arises what re- lation dors the state afier death bear to the present one’ Dr E. here proceeded to show that there will be a great diftrence between the state of a cod man’s soul after death and that of one who fas dica iu bis sins, and remarked that the de- nial of a truth so plainly taught is open infidelity; for the whole system of Christianity is buiit upon this truth. Death isone of the great epochs in man’s existence. and it is not the end of bis exist- ence. Immortality is our destiny. This brings us to the answer of our principal question, viz W bat is it to be ready to die? If character makes = difference in our future state of existence, then itisthe character which Christ has required of us, and provided for us, which is to constitute our preparation for death. We need not tell you what constitutes a Christian character; read the Bible, and there learn from God himself. St. Matthew's Church—High mass at eleven eclock by Rev. Mr. McNally.

She lost twenty to twenty-six dollars in gold, four gold rings, three breast-pins, one pair ear-rings, gold locket, and red beads. He left in the after- noon of the day.

Femate Prysicians For WasHincton —From a private letter received from a gentleman in Washington city, says the New York Water-cure Journal, we make the following extract, com- mending to female medical practitioners the sug- gestion it contains: ‘It has often surprised me that this city, con- taining a population of over 60,000 inhabitants, should not have one female physician! The num- ber of married women and young girls who are at this very moment suff-ring srith Ut one of ths many frightful Sara io known to the sex, is alarming. Married and single women should bave itin their power to seek relief from those who. knowrng their feelings and habits, because they too are women, could prescribe for them as no man can. Our females could go to them for sympathy and aid as they would go to a mother [have known death to result from disease, or, J should say, from modesty, because they could not consult a medical man. “If two or more doctresses would make their bome bere, they could make fortunes. I repeat, make fortunes. Let it be known throughout the land that the capital of the nation is without a female doctor Let two or three come, so that they may be able to consult together in female cases, and alsoto be independent of the physicians here, should they oppose them. Washington, Georgetown, aud the country around, would be the field of practice. Come, then, say, make yourselves a name. and relieve us from the most degraded of all usages, medical practice of men among females MERTING oF THR BoaRp oF TReStEES OF THE Posuic Scnvots.—The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Trustees of Public Schools was held on Friday afternoon at the usual hour A communication was received from Dr Sam- son, President of Columbian College, tendering a scholarship, through Dr. Gunton. to that pupii of the public schools whom the Board should decide to be most deserving of it The Mayor was present, and submitted a few remarks relative to the observations made by him of the system pursued in regard to the public schools fn the city of Boston, where he had recently been « vrief visit.

Accordingly, on Thursday last the collector of taxes advertised cer- tain delinquent free negroes to be hired out to the highest bidder on the 15th of August.
