In the Ge nor4 Assembly, of 1807, the first J. attended, the nom: bei of 'delegates in attendance was fifty-four;—the number in'tbe two Assemblies which met last spring was 467. F. :The number of Synods when. I enteredlthe mini* tyy was seven; the number now;' as reported to the last Assemblies, is fifty-one. The number of Pres byteries when I commenced my ministry, was thirty one---now it is two hundred and fifty-four. The num ber of ministers in the Presbyterian church then was three hundred and seventy—now it is three 'thousand seven ltundred and sixty-five. The number of churches then was six hundred and seventy-four—now it is four, thousand, six hundred and thirty-seven, and the number of communicants then was seventeen thou sand eight hundred and seventy-one—now it is three hundred and sixty-six thousand, eight hundred and eighty-one. According to this statement, the Synods have been multiplied seven times, the Presbyteries eight times, the ministers ten times, the churches seven times, and the communicants twenty times. Vacanoies.—The 'North Carolina Presbyterian' says: The number of, vacancies among our churches is increasing to an alarming extent. Where shall the right men to occupy them be found? They are not coming forward from the Synod. There is no in crease of the supply at home. Union of Religious Papers.—The Sentinel, of Memphis, Tenn., having been published for some time past, at a pecuniary sacrifice, with no prospect of improvement, is now united with the True Wit nese,' of New Orleans, the united paper taking the name of Tine Witness and Sentinel,' to be issued simultaneously in Memphis and New Orleans,—an editor residing at each place, as heretofore. An en largement of the sheet is expected. The Children's Church at St.-Anne.—Wednes day, September sth, 1860, the corner-stone of the Obildren's Church at St. Anne, Illinois, was laid.. .A.II the exercises were in French, or translated into that language, and appeared to be deeply interesting to the twelve or fifteen hundred persons present. brumbers of the audience came ten or twelve miles to, attend the exercises, and all manifested unusual interest in the services of the occasion. The history of the Bible deposited in the corner stone is interesting. In July last, a little girl about nine years old, living in Virginia, sent a gold dollar given her as a keepsake, with the request that it might be deposited in the corner-stone for safe keep ing, or used in laying that or some other stone in the building. 'Her letter was shown to a bookseller in St. Louis, and he was asked to furnish the best Bible THAT dol lar would buy, to be deposited in the corner-stone of the Children's Church at St. Anne. He at once se lected a very beautiful Bible, usually sold for a much larger sum, and on receiving the dollar handed it back as' a contribution from one of his children. Just before the Bible was laid in its place, the let ter of the little girl was read and interpreted to the. delighted people, and the gold dollar handed to the mason who prepared the corner-stone. He says he will not part with it. Liberality of Harmony Presbytery; South Ca rolina, to its Missionary Laborers.—Dr. Adger' has been defending the Harmony Presbytery from the criticisms of an anonymous .correspondent in the columns of the 'Presbyterian.' He says: "Be it said, Messrs. Editors, to the honor of the Missionary Committee of Harmony Presbytery, that whenever they employ ,a missionary they pay him at the rate of one thousand dollars per annum. They have fixed one thousand ,dollars as the least SUM that ,ought babe paid to miniettltrit in our country churches. ==!!MMI And to the honor of the churches in Harmony Pres bytery be it said, they have sustained the Committee in this. Where else in our country churches is the standard of ministerial compensation placed higher 7 Ravilag in the Cumberland Presbyterian Chureh.—Our exchanges speak of numerous revivals under the management of the brethren of the ,Cum berland church—especially-in Tennessee, where we count five revivals'; 'with conversions or 'professiOns rePorted, ranging from twenty .to fifty in number, in A' single paper: Others of like importance are re ported in Alabama; Mississippi, and Missouri. But what becomes of all the so-called converts? We fear the work,.in a vast number of instances, is superficial aq :Act res s yltS transient Let our enroberlaiid bre thren look to these things. They are, we believe, in the mood for improvement just now. LUTHERAN. Resignation of a Pastor.—Theßaltimors Ame rican says: The Rev: John 0. Morris, D. D., for many years the' regular ,pastor 'of the First English Lutheran church, has tendered his resiguition to the consistory of the congregation.: It, willbe recollected that some months since the Directors of the Peabody Institute 'elected Dr. Mor ris,to the responsible position Of Librarian. Consi dering his various attainments in branches of art and science, there is no man in the country who would better and more acceptably fill Such e place in , the • Institute. Trappe, Church, Dimitgonlery County.,- Histoz:ed--Intefeatin t i Celebration::--A cor respondent of the 'Missionary' say's: The building erected here in 1743 by. onrpetriarch, Henry Melehior I'llahlenbeig; for the of God, had becomelate`years very mach decayed and Cut of repair. A 'new, Aharch was built, And the old one deserted. , • • • • • - Asthere'wes no More use for . the building, many cf the congregation wished the walls taken .down and the rubbish cleared 'avvay. Others, however, held it with Its hallowed and extended'associations in •too high esteem to 'permit this; and at a meeting of the aura, Messre: S. Gross Pry, Rev. G. Sill, and H. Royer, were appointed, a committee to have a new root and ceiling pnt in the building, and • every other repair made also that was necessary to its preserva tion. , • These, repairs cost the .coiripamy between six and seven hundred dollars, --la large part of which was contributed by the Igublertberg family, especially that branch of it,residing in New York. In conside ration of this and - many other reasons, the , committee • extended an invitation, to Rev:Dr. W. A. Mublen berg; rector of the Chunk of. the Holy Commtittion, • in New York, a great grand=son of the Patriarch and grand-son of Ron - . F. A. Mnhlenberg, first Speaker of Congress,, to preach a disiconise at the re-opening of the old blinding. The invitation was accepted, and Wednesday. and: Thursday, the sth and,6th of September,- were set apart for religions services, con nected with the re : opening of the church. Dr. Muhlenberg's discourse was an earnest plea for the reunitin: of the Lutheran end Episcopal Churches, which he considers as essentially one. He was willing to accept a form partly extempora neous. He spoke of the great intimacy that existed be tween his great igrandfather and Bishop White— - shoicing how nearly these men felt related- to each other in church ties, as well those of personal re gard. In this connexion he made a remark to jus tify the part he was taking on the present occasion: "On theevening of the day when I was ordained to my office by the hands'of Bishop White, he remarked. to me—`Well, my young brother, I do not think the. shades of your venerated great-gradf_nther were die ' • • • i 0-*ay. r.-- Abd so I can an Bishop White, are not disturbed afthe place I am occupying to-day."

The congregation is at present wor shipping in Sansoin street church. Brown University.--The Commencement texer cises took place September 12th. There were 29 graduates. The degree of D. D. was conferred on Rev. T. M. Clark, bishop of R. 1., and that of LL. D. on Judge J. M. Read, of the Supreme court of this State. There was a very delighful reunion in the evening at the house of the venerable ex-president, Dr. Way land. The oration before the literary societies was , delivered by Rev. J. Wheaton Smith, of this city— subject, "Faith and Scholarship, or Religious Faith as Elementary to a Finished Scholarship." Mang Shaw Loo.—Mong Shaw Loo, a native of Maulmain, Burmah,and now a student at the Lewis burg University, delivered an interesting lecture at Zion, Centre county, Pa., on the evening of the 28th of August last. The father of Shaw Lou became a convert to the Christian religion a number of years ago, and Wll3 baptized by the celebrated , Dr. Judson, Baptist missionary in Burnish. Shaw Loo himself became a subject of divine grace when he was about fifteen years of age. He is now in his twentieth year. In the year 1857, in the month of December, he came to this country for the purpose of obtaining a tho rough education, in order to be able to return to his native land, well prepared to preach the gospel of peace and salvation to his benighted countrymen. He also , desires to pursue a course of medical stu dies, in order to become useful as a physician, which is indeed a happy idea. FOREION. Religious Anniversaries in Geneva.—From Monday, June, 18t11, to the 20th, the anniversaries of the leading religious societies occupied the attention of the public. They .are the Bible, Missionary, Evan gelical, and Protestant Societies, and the Evangelical Alliance. Marie D'Aubigne and F. Monod took a prominent part The Theological School, under D'Aubigne and Gunmen, has 44 students; anti is in a flourishing condition. Hayti—While threatened at home, the Pope his succeeded in re-establishing his spiritual power in an American country, where for many years it had ap peared to be entirely extinct. The new President of Hayti has concluded a concordat which gives to that country, for the first time, a fully organized hierar chy. The comments of the tfaytien press on this event are rather humiliating for the court of Rome, which, however, has undoubtedly had most one de mands complied with. It must now soon appear whether the Roman Church in Hayti has still strength enough to struggle against the paganism into which the mass of the population have practically relapsed. We believe the prospects of Protestantism, in the same island, are very promising. St. George's in the East.—Notwithstanding the changes made in the management of this notorious and obstinate congregation, according to the Church- 7 item, the people are quite as rude and boisterous as ever. Rev. J. Ohunder Gengooly, a Brahmin convert, recently delivered a lecture in London. In the course of his address, the reverend gentleman corrected some popular errors(?) concerning the Car of Juggernaut. It was no part of the worship, he said, for a devotee to cast himself under the wheels of the car. Accidents sometimes happened, and people were killed in the crush ; • but_ Juggernaut demanded no human sacri floe: Fie was the Brahmin god of love, peace and .meic*y. (I?)'

While in the very aet Of encouraging others, a heavy roller struck him and washed, him off the raft, in sight of the survivors' and crowds on shore. On the announcement to the Board of Trade soon after, that. the farm of Call Jack Wilson, of the Lady Elgin, was encumbered to the amount of $l5OO, it was proposed that one half the amount be raised here and the balance at Buffas..

Sunday Theatres in New York.—We aro happy to record the general subjection of the Sunday thea tre proprietors to'the laws of the 'State. A single notorious offender stills resists public sentiment and defies the authorities; but a little everience of the penalties of violated law, so soon as? the indictuients hanging over his head can be reached, may teach him -a valuable lesson. The' Stadt theatre—after a part , - ing growl at the " Sunday fanatics," through the Staats Zeitung, for interrupting its Sunday profits, which formerly equalled those of the entire week, takes out a new license, and.foregoes Sunday exhibi tions.

Collision in the Herzegovina between tbe Chris tians and the Mussulinans A despatch from Trieste, dated Auguit 24th, states that letters had heen received from Ragusa, ,an nouncing that a terrible collision had occurred at Gasko, in the Herzegovina, between. the Christians and the Mussulmans. The latter were the assailants, and in their fury spared neither tbe•women nor chi". dren of• their yanquishedimemies. As:usual, tbe au thorities were unable or 'unwilling' to prevent the massacre The Herzegovina is a small' and moiintainons tract nerth:ot .*Autiitnia; and'tonchei the GniPtif Venice at Ord , a sin I le I oint. % _ : between the two religions. Napies, August 28.—The Neapolitan troops were attacked by Garibaldians near , Piale, by whom they were surrounded and defeated. An armistice was then prepared. The commanding officer referred their proposition to the General-in-Chief for his deci sion. In the meantime the enthusiasm of the Nea politan troops abated. They became disorganized, and dispersed, leaving ,the batteries without any de fenders. Garibaldi has left Calabria, but it is not known in what direction he has gone. Decisive events are ex pected to take place shortly. Baron Bremer has ob tained the satisfaction which he demanded. A statement was afloat that Garibaldi entered Mon teleone on the 27th of August, and that h e had suc ceeded in transporting his whole army to the main land. England.—The first street railway in England, upon the American principle, was inaugurated at Birkenhead on the 30th of August, and the general impression was highly favorable. The Crops in Enropi.—Very recent accounts from Europe, and especially from the eastern part of it, modify considerably previous reports of the con dition of the crops. Although storms and locusts have done much damage in the Russian grain-bear ing provinces, there is a strong belief that the har vest will turn out to be a good one. Spain will have a large surplus for exportation, and, as most likely ; of an excellent quality. The deficiency will be chiefly in the British Islands, Holland and Germany, but as other crops have not suffered to the same extent as wheat, the demand may not prove so great as many have supposed. From India; vast quantities of rice will•be supplied. The Bishop of London has addressed a letter to his clergy, commending the setting apart of some early Sunday for paying attention to the condition of the country, in connexion with the prospects of the har vest. Our Treaty with Ohina.—lt appears from our treaty of amity and commerce with China, which has just been officially promulgated, that the United States will exert their good offices, in case any other: nation should act unjustly or. oppressively against that empire, to bring about a satisfactory arrangement of the question = thus showing their friendly feelings: A similar'provision is contained in the.treaty with Japan. The Latest by the Jura. The weather has been - fine throughout England, and the harvest prospects were promising. This fa vorable change was exercising , a buoyant influence on, funds and cotton. A telegram from Naples, dated the 6th inst., an nounces that Garibaldi ; and his forces were at Sn,ler ne, and their immediate arrival at Naples was confi dently expected, and the King of Naples was to leave the same day for Gaeta. Bight Sardinian frigatis were in the bay of Naples with two regiments aboard. The British steamer Osvrell, which was taken by the Garibaldians, had been re-captured by a British war steamer. More measures are reported to have been commit ted at Balbec and other places. .31ittrritit. PHILIPS—EVANS—On. the- 10th inst., by the Rev. Thos. Brainerd, D. D., Lewis. Philips, M.

It is true you may take pu . rgatives which will ope rate without pain, because they take the.balsamic parts from the blood, which is.worse than being bled, worse than having the vital lluid abstracted. Beware of them. Brandreth's Pills only take hold of those matters which the . 1)64, when' sick, wants to evacuate. They are solely an assistant, of nature,—nothing more, nothing less. They do not fOrce; they merely; assist; and herein is their great value.
