Ilelow we give ekctcftoa of 'the distinguished dtvincs who, by virtue tf Ibe oMcea they held in !ie last Assemblies, net as ofllcers of the General Assembly of the Reunited Presbyterian Church which met this moruiug, until permanent ofllcers are elected: The Kev. Mrlnnrthon W. .Inrobas, D. D., .Im Ik f who, as Moderator of tbe last Old School" Assembly, ai ts as senior presiding otllcer, puts all questions and decides all points of order as they rlse,was bo-n nt Newark, N. J., September 1S, 1810, entered Princeton College at fifteen rears of nge, and was graduated with the highest bonoTS at eighteen years of age. After a year's interval he entered Prluceton Seminary, and on lils gridualion was retained as assistant to Dr. Addicon Alexander, in the department of He brew instruction. In 1830 he took charge of the First Church of Brooklyn, and, in a successful pastorate of twelve years, placed that church on a strong foundation as one of tbe most impor tant in that city. His labors there were such as demanded respite and recuperation of health, and his people .granted Mm leave of abseucc for one year, at tbe same time supplying his pulpit and awaiting bis return in tbe hope of his re sumption of the charge. He travelled exten I ively at that time in Europe, Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. He also made another foreign lour a few years atro. During bis first absence ho was elected by the General Assembly Professor of Biblical Litera ture and Exegesis in Allegheny Theological Seminary, a position which be still holds. He has illustrated it by the fruits of study in seve ral volumes of commentaries on both Testa nints, which have been widely circulated in this country, and in part republished in Scot land. In addition to these labors, he undertook a pastoral charge in Pittsburg, and has built up one of the new and leadine churches of that city. In 1852 he received the degree of D. D. from Jefferson College, and in 1800 LL. D. from Princetor. His urbanity of bearing, united w ith his tact ana promptitude in the moderator slip of tlie last Old School Assembly, contri buted greatly to the excellence of its proceed ings, and earned for him additional praise in the churches. The It ft. riillrmoa II. Fowler, D. !., who, as Moderator of the last '"New School" Assembly, presides jointly with Dr. Jacobus, and preaches tbe opening sermon.was born in Alimny, N. Y., February ft. 1814. He graduated at Hobart College gin 1832, and immediately afterwards acted an tutor in his Alma Mater. His theological studies were pursued at Prince ton Semiaary, where he graduated in 1836. The Presbytery of Albany licensed him to preach in 1835, and ordained him sine titulo in 1836, in which year he was called to the Second Church, Washington, D. C. He remained there until 1880, when be was called to the First Church, Elmira, N. Y. From that field of labor he re moved, in 1849, to the First Church of Utica, N. Y., of which he is still the honored pastor, lie has been uninterruptedly engaged in the pastoral work for thirty-four years, with the ex ception of two years' vacation spent in Europe in 1848 and 1S08. The hich esteem in which Dr. Fowler is held in tbe ecclesiastical and educational world is manifested by the fact that for twenty years he has been a corporate member of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, a trustee of tbe Auburn Theological Seminary and member of its Prudential Committee, and a trustee of Hamilton College and member of its Executive Committee. lie also served on the Reunion Committee from first to last; and the Doctorate of Divinity has been conferred on bim twice by Norwich University and by Wil 4iams College.

In 1838 he transferred his connec tion to the Old School General Assembly. De clining the Presidency of Lafayette College, to which he was elected on the first retirement of Dr. George Junkin, he accepted in 1843 an elec tion to the Professorship of Ecclesiastical His tory and Church Government in the Allegheny Theological Seminary. In 1848 he was Mode- . rator of the Assembly. In 1850 be was chosen Permanent Clerk, from which office he was in 1802 transferred to that of Stated Clerk, so that he has been officially connected with the body for twenty years. In t2S54bewas transferred from Allegheny to the .professorship which he still holds in Princeton Seminary. He has clung to the work of theo logical instruction through many urgencies to take the presidency of colleges and the pastoral charge of important churches declining; the latter only on account of feeble health. The 'degree of D. D. was conferred on him in 1842 by Marshall College, Pa., and LL.D. by Prince ton, in 1808. .Dr. McGlll is very popular as a theological instructor, as a preacher he is possessed of great force and eloquence, and he Is one of the best church parliamentarians in the denomination. In.hla position xt Stated Clerk he has been the right-hand man of the Moderator on questions of order. The Rev. Edwin F. Hatfield. D. I)., who acts as Dr. McG ill's coadjutor, having been the Stated Clerk of the last New School Assem bly sinoe 1840, was born at Elizabethtown, New Jersey, in 1807, and graduated at Middlebury College, Vermont, In 1829. After studying at Andover Theological Seminary, he settled in St. Louis in 1832. In 1835 he became pastor of the Seventh Church, New York. The abundance of his labors and the success of his ministry in that field are attested by the fact that in twenty years he delivered not lees than 0000 sermons, lec tures and funeral addresses, baptized 563 adults and 1270 Inltnts, performed the marriage cere mony in 1121 instances, and received Into the communion of tbe Church 1556 persons on ex amination and 662 on certificate. In 1856 he established the North Church in New York, and continued its pastor until 1803. He is now the very efficient Secretary of the Frcedmen's Com mittee of the late New School branch. He has the reputation of being very fond of antiquarian research, and ia a special expert in the field of uymnoiogy.

In 1846 he was called to the Hammond Street Church, New York, from which he removed, In 1848, to the First Church of Princeton.
