RATOR CAUGHT.-On Saturday there was de? veloped before Trial Justice Levy a mode of obtaining money which, for novelty and bold? ness, has been seldom equalled. At the time and before the justice designated, Samuel Ball, a colored man, living on Archdale street, complained that on the day previous Charles Campbell, a colored man, came to his house ancfasked for his (Ball's) wf?e. Campbell was Invited in, and Ball went np stairs and sent his wife down. Then, as several witnesses testi? fied, the accused showed Ball's wife $30, and ?aid substantially: I have been sent here by two ladies, church members, who told me thal you and your husband did not agree! and gave me this money to pay me for poisoning you. I have you in my power and ?wllfpolson you unless you give me a similar amount of money. She was very much fright? ened, but told him come next day, and, lu the meantime, she would think over it and give him an answer when he came. He then left, but came the next morning when he was arrested. The charge made against Campbell being clearly established, Justice Levy com? mitted him to jail to await trial upon the charge*of attempting to obtain money under false pretences. Several parties present at the trial were willing to testify that Campbell had tried the same game before, and in some few instances succeeded in obtaining money. Hotel Arrivals-June 4 and 5.

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES YESTERDAY Pentecost at the Cathedral-Return of Bishop Ly nell from Rome-A Sermon on the Council. Right Rev. Bishop Lynch celebrated Ponti? fical High Mass at the Cathedral Chapel, Queen street, yesterday morning. A very large con? gregation assembled to see and hear this elo? quent and revered prelate, just returned {rom the Ocumeuical Council at Rome. It being also Whitsuntide or the Feast of Pont?? eos;, the services were of the most Interesting character. The music, as usual, was of a high order, Mozart's Twelth Mass being sung with excellent effect. Inside the sanctuary were seated the orphan boys, under the care of the Sisters of Mercy, and in front of thc altar the orphan girls, all neatly attired, and presenting a healthy, cheerful appearance. The assistants to the Bishop in the celebration of Pontifical High Mass ?vere the Rev. Messrs. Bermingham, Qnigley and Folchl. THE SERMON was preached by the Bishop from the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, first to the fourth verse inclusive. He said that it was a source of true joy to him to find himself again at home in his own diocese. It was pleasant to him also that the occasion on which he met them was this grand festival of the Pentecost, when the church commemorates how the Holy Ghost was sent in fui aiment of the promises of Christ and descended upon thc apostles gnthered together In Jerusalem, giving them power to speak in other tongues the wondrous works of God. This day, then, they celebrated the matured and active lite of the chinch, when she went forth preaching unto the world the great and mighty things of God, what the Lord had done, that sin might be taken away, our souls purified, and that, being reconciled with Almighty God, clothed with Christ, strengthened by His blessings, we should be enabled to walk in the paths ol' virtue and re? cover, through the Redeemer's death on Cal? vary, that glory which was lost through Ad? am's sin. Six months aso he had bidden them farewell for a season. The Father ot the Faithful had called him, with all the bishops of the world, so far as, without serious injury to religion, they might do it, to gather around him In the Holy City there to celebrate another Gene? ral Council of the Church of Christ. By entreaty he had obtained leave of absence tb come buck to discharge some of those trying duties which God hadwillea should be placed on his shoulders. And returning home on this grand day of Pentecost, he could not but speak to them ot the manifestations of the Holy Ghost, and with special reference to the work which is now being accomplished. He briefly traced the great mission of the apos? tles and their successors among mankind. For eighteen centuries and a half, he said, the church had preserved and spread throughout the world the teachings of the Saviour. Sim had battled unceasingly with sin and iniquity, and in every age the successors of the apostles had sealed with their blood their devotion to the faith. The church had ever kept aloft the banner of God's truth, and Council after Coun? cil had been held to roll back the tide of error. Now, he continued, the church is holding another Council. What, you may ask, ls thc great danger ? Is not thu church as numerous as ever ? It is. Has any standard of heresy^ been raised In her midst ' Why is this Coun? cil called together ? Why are soven hundred or more of our own prelates assembled to? gether under the ml?hty dome ol St. Peter's, to pronounce the Truth, and to say what things are required in this emergency t What ls the emergency ? My brethren, 1 thank God each dav that so far in this land we know but little of that emergency. But il may be on us ere long. In other lands the evil is already rife aud spread? ing. It is bringing dlaibfcr iipon many souls. It ls an evil, perhaps, beyond that seen in many 1 an age past. In times past men denied only some doctrine or revelation taught bv Christ our Lord, and entrusted to His Church. But 1 after all they admitted there was a revelation, that Christ our Lord had been here. They ad- 1 mt' ted all their duties, and, in a measure, ' strove to avail themselves of the benefits of 1 Christ's redemption. But in these latter times J there has arisen a spirit denying revelation, de- ' nylng any but a natural religion of reason, of 1 good sense, of morality ami of benevolence. ? The thought, clearly expressed, ls that lhere 1 is no God; that there ls no soul in mau; that a 1 man's body is like that ot the animals, only ? capable of enjoying more and being indulged j more by reason bf superior knowledge; that ' there is no soul, no future lite, no real distlnc- < tion of right and wrong, nothing but what ls 1 good to us or Injurious to us. Man, true man. j lt ls urged, must live without religion. Thu 1 child must not be baptised; the lad must not < be instructed about Cod. He must be taught there is no God, and, ns he grows up, naught save prudence is to restrain lils passions. 1 When he takes a wi te, it is to be without the 1 blessing of God. If children arc born to such : a being, he pledges himself to be unto them the same cruel monster of a father thal anoih- ' er was to him. And wheu he comes to die he 1 must die like the brute; he must have no min? ister of religion there-no one to speak the 1 words of God. This is the spirit that is abroad. It is a spirit > of denial of Christianity, of all things true ami just. It is an effort locast out religion. They ' are seeking to do It through government", i through schools, the press and every mode of , influence and power that men can exercise. This irreligious effort is going on. I thank 1 God that, with us, we know so little of it. Bul our pastors have seen the danger; they se? the , arts resorted to, the principles put forth In the , name and under the sham of science and against the means of salvation, and hence it is ; tiley are met in Council. The pastors of i our church throughout tho world are , sitting In Council, so that, under the Influence of the Holy Ghost, they mav 1 again go forth to battle, and to speak i the words of clear, uudenlable truth, to j repel the advance ot error, unmask deceit, and put the simple and faithful on their guard against the delusions of the world, and ! lead them to the secure possession of ever- ; lasting truth. I might speak of the glorious and majestic procession, the more than majes? tic assemblage, but will advert to these things ' on another occasion. I will simply say, now, i that you have heard throngh the press a thou? sand things about the Council. It is little more than three weeks since I left 'he Couu- . eil, but up to that time not one thing lu a hun- i dred of what the papers tell was true. Since ? that time they hare not been able to say much, but what they have said ls like to what they 1 said before. We believe that Christ established i His Church, and ordained that man should be ; taught by mau. As in the CouncU at Jerusa- . lem there was discussion, so there ls discus? sion now. But the result was reached. There has been discussion in that Council at which I 1 ha-. * '.lid the happiness to -have been present for five months. There was dis? cussion by men qualified to discus* the issues presented, by men coming from every part or the world, tilled with ail the knowledge and experience of the world men who know and consider tho needs of tho world. They are chosen men-chosen because tn their studies and in their ministry they ha-e become possessed of those abilities which redound to the benefit of their episcopacy men who have been in the ministry, len. twenty, thirty, and some ol' them over fifty years, and who bring a life-long experience. What is there of religion that they cannot freely discuss? They come with pure aud earnest hearts. They come in the fear of God to speak ol'Christ, of God, and to speak then conscientious convictions, to consult with their brethren, to compare, and in earnest prayer and purpose, come to that result, to those words which they shall pronounce, which il is pleasing to the Holy Ghost that they shall utter and denne. And when thc decision is given, all will receive and adhere to it, because all know and believe that the church is the work ol' God-that the Holy Ghost has been prom? ised to the church-that the spirit of trudi abides in the church, and that wo will receive the clear and unmistakable declaration ol' the faith which was in Hie possession of the Church from tho beginning. It has boen ray glory, my pride to have been privileged to be present. I regretted for some reasons that I had to be called away. But my heart is there, and your hearts, I am sure, are there. I know, my brethren, that each day you fulfil that exhortation of our Chief Pastor, of our Holy Father himself, to pray that the Spirit of God may rule in that Coun? cil; may guide their thoughts and fill their hearts, so that through each declaration of lailh made we may bc comforted and strength? ened, and the Kingdom of God advanced and promoted" and increased In numbers unto the loys of everlasting Ufo. Elsewhere and at nome I have believed In the unity and catho? licity of Hie church. But when I saw that as? sembly, the Sovereign Pontiff himself, the cardinals and aged patriarchs from the church? es of the East, in their bright robes aud in long array; when I saw those lines or prelates, archbishops, bishops and mitred abbot'', ex? tending down that vast transept of St. Peter's; when the Sovereign Pontiff himself arose and made the declaration of Iiis faith, followed by the aged cardinals and the long lines of archbishops and bishops as they came np and placed their hands on the Holy Gospels and said, "I so believe," every one saying the same words of faith, the same promise of duty to the church and thc cause of God, and the admission made in Hie various languages of the East, then, indeed, I felt more t ian ever the unity, thc catholicity of the church. From Cliina to California, from Lapland to the Gape of Good Hope, from Hudson's Bay to Chili, from every quarter, there was heard one faith, one baptism, one Church of Christ there assembled in her malesty, and there about to declare the faith of Christ to the world. May Almighty God bless the work of that Council. May the Holy Ghost remain with them, and when they shall have spoken, may their words sink deep Into faithful hearts. May they be fruitful unto every good, unto the glory of God and the saving of souls. St. Patrick's Church-Close or thc Mis? sion given by Father Garesche. The regular congregation. Joined by Catho? lics from other churches, and a number of non-Cat holies, who were anxious to hear the eloquent Jesuit fallier, filled every nook of St. Patrick's Church at High Mass yesterday morning. Before beginning his discourse, Father Ga resche urged the congregation to form a tem? perance society, reminding them that those who were always temperate, and had the honor of the church sit heart, might willi ad-, vantage Join such a society, In order to prove ? their own faith and sincerity, as well as for the encouragement of others. A few names Und already been inscribed, but he wanted to have at least two hundred before lie left Charleston. The centre ofthe society migiit be at St. Pat? rick's, but the members might be drawn from all the Catholic congregations in the city. The subject of the discourse was the parable of tlie Prodigal Son-thal parable of doctrine and love. Fallier Garesche began by showing that the first false step In the path of sin was the belief that time and riches were ours, to ; bestow as we pleased. The Prodigal Son was eager to take what belonged to bim, and be free from the remonstrances or the advice of his father. That father would not hold the son against his will. He might ask lils son wheth? er lie had been harsh or unkind, and if lie had refused any proper gift, whatever Its price. He might urge that experience had taught him the dancer and folly of what his son proposed to do. But the son does not believe the Father, thinking that the old begrudge the young their pleasures, while, In t.uth. age finds Its greatest pleasure in looking back through the vista upon the joys and triumphs of youth. The son may be touched by the pleading of the Father, "but pride will not allow him to give way. He will come back soon, he thinks, and so'will have proved his own independence. So lt ls in the world. The young rind readily enough gay friends who tell them not to be the slave of a priest, who whisper that there is time enough for repentance, and bid them take their pleas? ure while tiley may. Their pleasures are flow? ers under which the snake lies hid. No sinner ever contemplates, in the beginning, the depths to which he will fall. He intends to repent in time, to come in later. For the present, he will go on. He forgets that lt Is easier to say No ! the first time than the hun? dredth time-that- the difficulty increases in geometrical progression. Tlie Prodigal wastes Iii? substance iu rioting and feasting. Gay companions show him life, and that Life is Death. And so he sinks at last into the lowest abyss of debauchery and shame. In like manner the sinner grows weaker and weaker, makes less and less resis? tance, wasting the richea ol his life aud the treasures of lils soul. Around bim are dark spirits, not yet devils, but doing the work of devils. Even among Hie young girls whom he knows he may find those who will tench him to neglect his dury, and will help him down (he long line of misery and sin. But a great famine came In tlie land, and Hie Prodigal- ls tempted to. go back to his Father. There ls a famine In tho sinner's heart, and going back to the joys of childhood lie sees tba: they were Illumed by the light of Heaven, not the light ol Hell. Lookin?, around liim the Prodigal appeals to his boon compan oiis for help. They tell him that he ought not :o have tefl lils home, und that be hltS gained experience, ulthough he paid n heavy price, fie will not give up, and the son ot a prince x'comes a keener of swine. And so t he sinner joes down to tlie lowest depth of degradation ind sin. All is lost, with that chastity which is he sheeniest jewel in that diadem ol' Heaven, lint the sinner, thinking in all his misery of [lie Father whom lie abandoned, resolves at last to arise and go home. So, too, has it been an this mission. Sintiera who have been sepa? rated from the church twenty-five and thirty iud forty and.nearly fifty years, have come jack from afar, and ure numbered in tlie lold jf Christ. Father Garesche, after describing the long years of waiting of Hie Father, thu return of the Prodigal, and lils pardon, exhorted his congregation, now that they lind rcpeuted of [heir Rins, to stand steadily in the path of right. Better ls it, lie said, to die on the day of your forgiveness, than to ask now riches of grace Prom the Father, only to abandon Him and plunge ngain Into the sloughs of shame and unbelief. Last night, at St. Patrick's Church, Rev. Eather Garesche closed lils mlsslou In this ;ity. The church was not only dens?y thronged, but there was almost as large a lumber outside witnessing, as lar as possible, :lie exercises through the windows and doors. Father Garesche, after reciting the rosary, lelivcrod an eloquent and touching discourse. Me spoke offne Interest in religion, which all seemed lo feel, and exhorted the congrega? ron to persevere lu thc good resolutions formed, and called upon thc mothers and sis? ters, sons and daughters, to exert themselves to keep those dear to them in tlie ways of re? ligion. At the conclusion of this discourse, Bishop Lynch ?mid an eloquent tribute to the late Father Smart us, who had been expected to conduct the mission in Charleston, but had been prevented by his death. The Bishop then spoke of the difficulties he had experi? enced in securing a missionary, and congratu? lated tlie congregation upon having at last ob? tained one (Father Garesche) who was so worthy a representative of his Order ; and In the name ofthe clergy and the entire Catholic community, he thanked the Rev. Father for his zeal and success in the mission he had undertaken. Father Garesche then gave tho Pontifical blessing. The exercises then closed with the beuedlcllou ofthe Blessed Sacrament. SALE OK THE OTT PROPERTY POSTPONED. We hav? mentioned that City Attorney Corbin had gouo to Columbia to move before Asso? ciate Justice Willard for au injunction to re? strain Sherill"Mackey from selling to-day, by virtue of .111 execution In the case of John Gibbon, George E. Gibbon, Wm. 1). Webb, An? drew Mci). Brown, executors of George (?ib bou, deceased, vs. the City Council, all tlie right, title and interest of the defendants in Hie premises known as the South Bay Battery or White Point Garden, the Artesian Well, and the premises at the northeast corner of King and Calhoun streets. On Saturday, at ll A. M., the City Attorney made the motion for the Injunction, arguing that as the property levied upon had been pur? chased by the eily and dedicated to the use ol the public, aud so used, it was not liable to levy or sale to satisfy the debts of the City Council. The motion was not resisted by the counsel for the executors, and Judge Willard granted an order restraining tho defendants,, their attorneys and servants, and Sherill' Mac? key particularly, from selling sii.l properly until the coming in of tho answer in said cause, or the further order of tho co.ir: having jurisdiction thereof. Twenty days are allowed for th? filing of the answer. We are not inlormed as tu thc course the executors will pursue; however, our citi? zens can enjoy the Battery for several days yet, without fear ol'trespassing upon any one's premises.

RECOVERED.-The venerable Dr. Bachman, who has been ill for some time past, has suffi? ciently recovered to be out again, and was present at his church yesterday morning. NOT KANT FISH.-The steamer Samson, with a goodly number of excursionists, started for the outer blackfish banks Saturday. Failing to find these, Bhe returned to the inner banks. Just as the party began to haul in the fish at a lively rate a storm came up, and the steamer put back to the city. BURGLAR CAPTURED.-About 12 o'clock last night a policeman discovered a negro attempt? ing to enter by means of keys an office on Boyce's wharf. The negro observing the po? liceman creeping upon him, ran off. He was pursued, captured, and lodged in the Guard? house. He refused to give his name. RETURN OF BISHOP LYNCH-Bishop Lynch returned to the city Friday afternoon. He was not expected until Saturday afternoon, and arrangements had been made to give him a formal reception, but owing to his earlier ar? rival, this plan was given up. However, yes? terday afternoon and the day before, a large number of his friends and admirers called upon him. The Bishop is looking well and Is In ex? cellent spirits._^ KILLED RT LIGHTNING.-In Saturday's NEWS we mentioned that two men had been killed by lightning Thursday afternoon at the planta? tion of Mr. Seabrook, on James's Island. This was partly incorrect. Two women, out of four living in a house ou the plantation, were struck and instantly killed by the lightning. Their bodies decomposed so rapidly that a trial justice held an inquest and had them buried at once. A GIFT TO THE SHAW SCHOOL.-The Messrs. Smith, cabinet-organ makers, of Boston, have sent one of their instruments to the Normal School at Richmond,and one to the Shaw School in this city. A Boston paper tells us: "The grat? itude of the pupils is unbounded for a present which adds to the daily pleasure of their lives, and which opens to them greater opportuni? ties of cultivating the gifts or voice and ear so common to their race." THE CROPS.-In Orangeburg there fs a prom j Ise of a good yield. In Laurens the crops arc growing fast and the farmers are hopeful. The stands of cotton are all that could be expected, considering the unfavorable weather. Abbeville has a little too much rain. Laurens has had lots of rain, but the crops are backward. The oat crop will be next thing to a failure. Wheat is in some instances, on red land, very fine, but the crop will not reach an average. Corn is small, and a bad stand. Cotton is very late, much of the crop Just now coming up. and probably a fifth only planted since the last rains. THE SCOTT, WILLIAMS & Co. RonnERV. About a fortnight ago a Mr. Ellis* Munda}-, an Englishman engaged In planting on Edlsto Island, was suddenly arrested by a State de? tective and carried to Columbia, where he was imprisoned upon a charge of being concerned In the mysterious robbery of thc banking house of Scott, Williams & Co., in Columbia, during the latter part of March. The accused, through his counsel, secured his release on bail, and re? turned to Edlsto. He has now gone for the second time to Columbia to stand his trial be? t?re Judge Melton. Wo understand that the evidence against the accused consists partly in the alleged fact of his Identification as the per? son who hired thc boat, In which the robbers are known to have escaped. Munday, on the other hand, claims that ho will establish his innocence by proving an alibi. Cia\\!B9.-Chas. Campbell, who was arrested upon the charge of attempting to swindle Mar? tha Ball, has been? turned over to the State for prosecution. There was a heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, Saturday afternoon. Thc United and Union Star Fire Companies will have a maroon at Gibbes'sfarm on Tues? day. The stockholders of the Atlantic Phosphate Company are notified that ten per cent, of the capital stock will be called for on or before the 10th of June. Jane Smith, colored, a quarrelsome ionian, who has broken two peace bonds, and who attempted to get out of jail on ti writ ot' habe? as corpus, has been remanded back to her old quarters. A mortgage from the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad to George S. Brown nnd Enoch Pratt, of Ballimore, for $:.\200.()00, was probated In Wilmington on Friday.

"God nothing does, nor suffers to be done, But what thou would'st thyself, could'st thou but see, Through all events of things, as well as He." It is difficult to feel that God's dispensations are those of love to his children. On thc evening of May l"th. 1870, onr beloved friend, Mrs. MARY ESTELLE HENEREY, consort or the Hon. winiam S. Henerey, or this city, was called from the affec? tionate embrace of her happy family on earth, to unite with those in Heaven. "We loved, hut ah ! could scarcely tell How deep, how dearly, till she died." Her. cheerful voice no longer will be hoard. Her friendly welcome never shall again be felt. Death has severed from earthly relationship, a beloved wire, an affectionate mother, a constant friend. "Oh mourn not then, ve who have lost ; The dearest friend that's given, sure if the loved one's gone from earth, She's mother-wife-in Heaven. * BARNWELL.-Died in Beaufort, S.
