The Fail b?fiaeii in tnde, in politic*, in love,
and matrimony, is juat beginning to open, and
will be ia full tide in a very brief period of time. The
crowd* now ia thia city are greater than ever were
known? greater than in the year 1336. Every hotel
ia fall aad overflowing. Men of buaineaa and men of
leiaure, were never plentier. From the abundance of
thecropa ? the increaae of population ? the atate of the
currency, we may expect the approaching aeaaon to
be a more active one than wo have ever known.
Such being the prospect generally, we may
alao very naturally expert a greater and more rapid
increaae of advertising business. And ia thia
branch of business there ia every appearance that the
Herald will far surpass all its contemporariea. Our
circulation, among real busineas men in the city, ia
greater than that of any other paper ? and our country
circulation over the Union, every where, ia equal to
that of all the other papera together. Not a town or
village throughout the land, that the Herald ia not
taken, at much fur its commercial character aa ita
general and independent tone on every aubject.
And in order to meet the demanda of advertiaera in
every line, who will crowd upon our columna, we
have made preparations to iasue two or three double
thtelt every week? and if neccaaary everyday, if the
business requires it. On this plan we shall be en
abled to furnish merchanta, traders, and the com
munity, with better pnblietty to their notices than
any of the Wall atreet papera, or all of them combin
ed together. In a week or a fortnight, Now York
will be in full blast in trade, pelitics, fashion and
foolery. The town is crowding beyond the memory
of man. What a time we shall have! Making
money like water? at least so I shall with the
Herald. Every body will be rich in a year.

l?wyfcyt
We mentioned, a few days since, that the Rev.
Warren Fay, of Charlestowa, Massachusetts, had
been making some extraordinary experiments in tha
new science of philosophic piety. In other words
that he had been endeavoring to ascertain, for the
benefit of posterity, and the cause of true piety, how
far a parson might allow himself to be tempted by
intimate intercourse with the beautiful females of
his congregation, without falling into sin, as David*
did with the wife of Uriah! how far he might tempt
a lovely woman and be tempted in return without the
actual commission of crime; in order that he might,
after ascertaining the result of his pious experiments,
know how to regulate the social intercourse of the
brothers and sisters of his flock. It was a dangerous
and hazardous movement; and like a majority of all
pioneers in great and extraordinary movements, the
Reverend gentleman has fallen a martyr to his love
of research and his enterprise in pious experiments
to expound natural philosophy. The Ecclesiastical
Coancil hare met at his house, and have said, as
Nathan did to David, "Thou art the man." Thefol
Uwing are the names of the council, with their pro

meeting waa optned by prayer by ihe Moderator.
The Letter Mitaive hat lug been read, the Council noticed

Thete gentlemen then heard testimony a* to the
nature and extent of the piout experiment* made by
Dr. Faj upon the beautiful women of hit church.
The diacloiurek were to great at to overcome them
for ? time; and thej adjourned to fatt and pray.
They met again on the 15lh, when the investigation
of report! relative to the character and conduct of
Rer. Dr. Fay, wai returned. During their delibera*
tion, a member of the Council wat called out, and re
turned with the information from Dr. Fay that he
wat willing to submit the cate under examination, at
already presented, without making further defeace.
A subsequent communication vai received frvm Dr.
Fa y, admitting that in the case last under considera
tion, he had sought illicit intercourse with one who
wasthea an inmate of his family. The Council were,
kowevar, satisfied by the evidence, that criminal in
tercourse only twice actually took place. For some
time after the receipt of this communication, the
business of the council was wholly suspended by
overwhelming grief. As soon as it was pnaaible for
the members to attend with suitable composure, it
was voted to meet again on Friday mcrning the 16th
inst., when, after deliberation, they adopted the fol
lowing as their result:

This is ? rery curious and Yary instructive more
meal on the part of the CauMtl, aad wa hop* that it
may lead tu good results. The Council, hawerer,
are not sufficiently explicit as to the axteat of the
crime. Aad we do aot know whether they disown
Dr. F ay for not seducing any oae, or for attempting
to seduce, or exactly an what grounds; or whether
only for pushing his experiments too far without
succeeding ia any great moral result. However the
Doctor's letter to the Council is sufficiently explicit
to make amends for the mystery of the Council.
Here it is: ?
Ma. Willi.? Such was the eafebled slate af my mind, and
to overwhelmed was I, when the result of Council was comau
nicated. thai I could -ay nethiag.
1 wish to have appended to the revult of Council, the lollnw
ing: ? I acknowledge my folly and sin before God, and lament
with the deepest sorrow, that I have thus dishonored li:m. aad
given occasion of reproach. I acknowledge that this tlMtlite
mentis righteousness; aad I would weep iu biitermss overall
that has been sinful iu hit sight, and look for pardon only
through that at;ui>ig blood, which clra seth from all tin. J
mourn with angnna of heart over the injury done to the minis
try and the cause of religion. 1 desire to exercise tkat utifeigu*
ed repentance, which it unto salvation, and hope by the grace
of Ood its fruit* may hereafter be seeu, iu a manner which may
do something to wipe awa\ the reproaches which have fallen
u|>on the came < f the Redeemer. 1 ask the forgivenes* of mv
fellow aeu; I humbly ask the forgiveness of Almighty God,
through the meditatiou of Jrtus Christ; and 1 ask the prayers
of those who love Ziou. 1 am sorely pained, that 1 nave
giieved the friends of the Savior;? but as the L"rd cau forgive
the penitent, to can they; and so 1 trust they will, as they hope
for diviue forgiveness. WARRKN FAY.
I ins iii a tunny and original letter, and developes
an entirely new rein of morality and piety. The
Dactor asks forgiveness of iiis brothers and of his
maker, but does not ask the forgiveness of the beau
tiful women upon whom he had been experimenting.
Perhaps he thought that they had no ground of com
plaint against him. There is another whose forgive
ness he forgot to ask; and that is, the blessed Virgin!
We presume, however, he obtained her forgiveness
in advancc. Really, these are matters that are highly
edifying. These curious points and nice intricate
experiments in philosophical piety upon beautiful
women, are things that are interesting to touch apon,
to say the least *f it; and we should not be surprised
yet to see them pushed to a greater extent through
the religious enmmuuity. The worldling, too, would
do well to look into these things. The Dr. says, of
his last experiment, " I hope, by the grace of God,
its fruits will hereafter b* seen." Very likely. We
think it very probable that the fruits of that last
pious philosophical experiment upon a young lady in
his house may hereafter be seen, and that ia leas than
nine months, in the shape of a blooming boy or girl>
some fine morning next April. Similar experiments
have produced similar results; and like causes have
produced like effects. The Moral Reform Socwty
will doubtless treasure np all these interesting expe
riments, and give as a full report of them next year.
This is the great analytical experimental age; we
have experiments in chemistry, experiments in astro*
a?my, experiments in magnetism, and experiments
in all kinds of natural philosophy ;. and what can be
norc purely ** natural philosophy" than a pious par
ion making practical pious and philosophical experi
ments upon the beautiful women of his congregation,
to tee how far they can resist temptation
AH these late movements in the religious world;
the seduction and msrdar of Maria Cornell by a par
son; the seduction of the leather-selling deacon's
daughter in this City by \V. H. apious married Sun
day sehoel leader ; the sednction of Mic* Barker by
the Rer. Reuben D. Turner; the seduction or abduc
tion of Mr* Lewis, by the Rev. Dr. Applewhite ; the
quarrels and trials between Dr. Jarvis and his wife,
are all only part and parcel uf the great system of
pious practical experiments in religion and natural
philosophy for the benefit of posterity, and to im
prove the progeny of poor sinful man! We are im
proving every day. We shall get perfert at last.
Tbete experiments in virtue by parsons, to see how
far they can plunge into all sorts of impro| er things
without loosing their soul, is only in imitation of St.
Anthony and the saints of old, who went into the
desert t? mortify the flesh, and then after % proper
discipline made bargains and bets with the Devil
that he could not tempt them to ain, by means of the
mest beautiful women in the werld
One *aint bet hi* soul with the Deril in this way;
the Derll placed a lovely woman in hit sleeping cot,
by hit aide, and strange to say the saint triumph
ed the first night. The Devil squ.ihhled about paying
the bet, aad claimed an extension of time, the saint
slept with the beautiful woman a second night, and
sorry are we to say ha fell a victim to strong tempta
tion. The Devil claimed his bet, and flew off with
bis soul without al1owing:him time to say hi* prayers;
?o we would advise our modern experimenting pious
parsons not to stake any thing serious on the
result wf their philosophical experiments upon
pretty women, or as the Ecalesiaatical council says, it
may lead to alarming results when the stakes are
given up at the great day of final accoant.

This is highly amusing. The iAeas of ?' honor** j
entertained by this self-constituted body is original ,
I had a corpt of compositors who refused, on a rida
colons pretence, to g? to work on the arrival of tha i
Liverpool, to get out an extra, some of them having
been three year* in my office, and always paid regu- j
larly the hest prices. For this caadnet I directed
my foreman to dismiss them, and to employ these
only who would aat better, and on whose honor I
could depend. He did so ? and for this he i* tie- i
nounced by a *tt of men who have nothing to do
with nc or my business. Davis, who sign* him*elf
president, was ance in my office, and left it without
notice, and so saved me from the pain of dismissing
him for his incapacity, which I meant ta bave done.
The attempt of any association to interfere with my
office, ar to compel me to emplay improper men,
is a piece of the caolest impudence imaginable. I
should like to see thea carry their decrees into
effect.

? Oa Friday Bight, he left Niblo's Garden about 10 or
11 o'clock, pretty well "how came you ao." He
reached tha As tor House about 11 o'cloak, and than
a tall party of loafers assembled round him. After
the wine had passed Ireely round, about midnight,
Mr. Clay rose and took hia leave of hia brother
loafera.
He tald them he had enjoyed himaelf vary much
here, and should hare been much more happy in
I New York if he had not been pulled and bailed
and mauled about so. " However," said he, "that's
i all over, and now let's take a stirrup cup at parting."
This was done, three tremendous cheers were given,
and the party staggered to their respective beds.
In the morning Mr. Clay rose about & o'clock,
with a severe head ache; however, a small glass of
brandy and water, and a wash, and a clean shirt, sot
him pretty nearly straight again. Ha read and an
swered several letters, put his dirty ahirta into the
bottom of his trunk, like a good honest democrat,
as ha really is, combed his hair back, washed hjs
teeth? no, he don't wash his teeth ? and brushed up
his old hat ? that same old hat that he wore when he
left Kentucky, and a shocking bad hat it is too.
He then took up the " Morning Herald," and read
the account of his movements on Friday. At this
he laughed heartily, called for another glass of bran'
dy, picked his nose, scraped his nails, sat down to
breakfast, which he enjoyed most heartily. He
had hardly swallowed his food, before n whole batch
of fools and loafers, and gentlemen, and some few
rascah tailed on him, to wish him " good bye." ?
This intiictien over, he entered an elegant barouche,
drawn by four handsome nags, driven in fine style
by Cowan, the best " dragsman" in the city Six.
hacks followed, containing the committee and hang
ers-on ; and in this order they reached the foot of
Liberty Street.
Here there was a halt called till the boat was ready
to start. Then at least lOfrmore loafera and gentle
men, crowded round him to shake hands, until they
nearly shook his hand ofl* The fine old Kentuckey
farmer, however, took it all in goad part, appearad
pleased, and murmured not though his friends did.
One man in the crowd, t?ok his hand, grasped it
firmly, and looking him right in tha eye, exclaimed,
" Look here, old Harry, God bless you ! You're a
democrat dyed in the woo) ! 1 know you. Now stick
to your taek, old fellow ; by God ! hang on to the '
American System ! You are leaving New York, but
she won't fbrget you. Don't you forget her when
the time comes And when.' the race is to be run, if
you don't beat that d d little Kinderhook poney,
you re a <oi-e sucker, and no mistake." Here there
was a general laughing and oheering, and the car
riage drove an to the boat, which immediately put
otr amidst th? cheers of the people, the waving of
handkerchief) and flags, and the roar of cannon from
each side of the river.

stood, conversing with a knot of Wall Street brokers

ia to be dependel on; and, judging from the long

they had taken that contingency into their account.

Just at this moment the atalwart figure of the Cap

descried on the gaugway plank, and the order given
to clear off the loafers and caat off the h%w?ers.
Then it was that tbe ladies sighed their last adewa
? friends shook hands, and naammas took out the ex
tra white cambrics to make the scene more mov

44 Give me my trumpet, and let her go" ? said
the Captain ? and the Liverpool, like a gr< yhound
from the aipa, bounded into the East river, amid the
cbeera of the spectators, which w< re gaily returned
by the passengers and crew.
In a very short time she paaaed the Nortlv Caro
lina, and waa going gallantly down the Bay> when
the firat officer came abaft to the Captain, and report
ed a boat pulling at tbo devil of a rate for theship.
44 Shall l stop her, Sir 1"

" Perhaps you had better step her then, for it may
he an officer with despatches from the captaia ef the
Buzzard."
The gallant ship was brought to a dead stup*, and
a tall, gaunt, sickly looking man, came on the qo&rter
deck, Maying, *' Sir, I ? want a passage to England with
you. "
"Where are you from Sir T"
" From Honduas, nu?t rot here in yonder acboon

"No, 1 have not, nor any other fever, b"t J want

?4 Well, then/' says Captain Fayrer, "w will take
Eou sir, if my aurgeoa reports you to he perfectly

" The new comer then retired and he^Lncnafab '

"And now sir," says -captain Fayrer tr ourselves,
" 1 want you to sajr sometb?ag in the Herald about a

that they must have either robbed sonii vessel or
