Church's Great Fall—Niagara, and Gig
noux’sNiagara.-—These are really noble pictures
of one of those scenes which make an American
justly proud of his country. Both are excellent,
though the palm is generally conceded to belong
to the former. This is a view of the Great Fall,
with landscape and river scenery extending 9
miles up the river. The tumultuous play of the
water for some distance above the final leap, and
the vast and stupendous appearance of tue fall
itself are depicted with startling fidelity. The
rainbow thrown across the mist ha§ A-Übsuliatly
luminous appearance, the upper portion of it espe
cially seeming to glow with unborrowed light.
Our friend Mr. J. 8. Earle has done good service
in bringing these fine works of art before the pub
lie, They may be seen at his room, No. 816
Chestnut Street.

Death of Rev. Dr. Judd. —We learn that the Rev.
Gideon N. Judd. D. D., pastor of the Presbyterian
ohuroh at Montgomery, Orange Go., N. X., died at
that place on Saturday last, March 3d. He had
reached his 71st year. Dr. Judd was formerly set
tled at Oatskill, N. X., and subsequently at Bloom
field, N. J,, where his labors were eminently blessed
in the conversion of souls, and where he exerted a
great and happy influence over the minds of a large
number of youth who were looking forward to the
gospel ministry. Wherever known, he was regarded
as eminently a man of God, a meek, faithful and de
voted servant of Ohrist. Among his brethren he was
esteemed as an excellent preacher, and a wise coun
sellor-one to whose careful judgment all deferred
with great respect.
Rev. Mr. Guinness. —Mr. Guinness is preaching
in New York city to crowded assemblies. He is cor
dially received into the prominent churches. Of a
late effort in Cooper’s Institute to young men on the
text, *' Go thy way for this time,” the Times says:
“ The danger of delay and the awful consequences
of a failure to find a convenient season, were pre
sented by the preaoherwith peculiar earnestness-,
and his appeals to the young men to leave off the
(ways of sin and turn to the Saviour, were forcible,
fand at times eloquent. Listening to Mr. Guinness
[■for the first time it 1b difficult to understand to what
ho owes his great success as a preacher. The ideas
and illustrations he presents lack originality. He
speaks of sin and sinners, of Christ and the way of
salvation, in the stereotyped words of the thousands
of not strikingly successful preachers who have
spoken before him, and who are speaking still. To
au habitual oliurch-goor bisexpressions fall familiarly
upon the ear, and his scriptural quotations affect the
inds of his listeners as he prepares the way for
tem, and before he has given them utterance,
other is his gesticulation vigorous or unusual, and
hough he is a man of commanding presence, he
ib to be unconscious of it while speaking, for he
er uses it for effect, as he might safely do. His
iculiarity is a remarkable earnestness, an earnest
sss which is not shown by tension of the muscles,
or by facial contortions. He speaks calin]y,nndwith
dignity. His earnestness affects his hearers, and by
the mellow tremulousness of his voice and the eager
ixpression of his eye rivets the attention, and satis
ies that he is thoroughly in earnest, and goes about
to do good.”
The Missionaries sent out by the Presbyterian
and Dutch Reformed ohurches of this country have
found no obstacle to establishing themselves in Ja
■>iin, so long closed against Christian teachers. Two
temples were cleared of their idols and rented to them.
The Mayor of Nagasaki visited the missionaries, and
asked them many questions about their religion!
and accepted a copy of the New Testament in Chi
nese.
A large Missionary Meeting was held on Sabbath
cuing in the Church of the Incarnation, Madison
’nue, New York city. Bishop Payne, of Africa,
Rev. Messrs. Tyng, Montgomery, Denniston and
tuncey participated in the services. Bishop Payne
zing spent twenty-five years in Africa, spoke of it
he knew it from observation. He saw the hand
an all-wise Providence in all that had befallen that
fortunate country. The deportation of her slaves
Hristian countries, the appearance of naval squad-
on her coast, the influence of commerce, ihe
iblishment of colonies, and the extended knowledge
our language, he regarded as the groundwork pf
j Almighty for the propagation of his Holy Word
Africa among the Africans,
CLUBS.
Dr. Thompson’s Farewell.— Dr. Thompson, of
Buffalo, took farewell leave of his people on Sabbath,
the 4th inst. The daily Courier notices the discourse
as follows:
Dr. Thompson chose his text from 2d Corinthians,
xiii. chap., 11th verse—‘Finally, brethren, farewell.’
The discourse was almost entirely of a personal cha
racter. He reviewed the connexion which had ex
isted for eleven years between himself and the church,
and spoke of the intimate relations which necessarily
obtain between pastor and people. He explained the
reason of his departure. It is not that there has been
any division or difficulty in the church in regard to
him, nor because he himself has not had his tempo
ral wants well cared for in it, nor because he is dis
posed to seek wider fields for his ambition; but is
simply in answer to what seems a providential call,
viz.: the physical requirements of his family neces
sitate a change of climate. He did not hope, as some,
might imagine,'to have his labours lightened by go
ing and preaching bis Buffalo sermons in Cincinnati.
He said he bad about five hundred manuscript ser :
mons when he came to this city, and only about one
hundred had ever been delivered; fifty of these having
been previously re-written. He expressed his grati
tude to his church and congregation, in view of the
long, close, and blessed intercourse which he had
with them. His parting words, in this connexion,
were very affecting, and they were so felt, both by
speaker and bearers.
The Express says— . ‘ '
“We understand that Dr. Thompson will not im
mediately- takstbis...departure from the city, but .will
prOeeed to his new charge in A few weeks. ;
“ Few ministers that have left onr city have been
parted from with such sincere and general regret as
will be felt, when Dr. Thompson hastaken his final
leave; and few, we are ready to believe, have borne
with them sp true and affectionate a regard for .the
people to whom they bade adieu, as will linger in his
heart.”
In anticipation of Dr. Thompson’s settlement, in
that city, the Cincinnati Gazette makes the following
complimentary and merited notice of his previons la
bors and success as a minister: .. . .
“Drl Thompson is a graduate of Union College,
and formerly ministered to a congregation in Canan
daigua, New York, from whence he went to Phila
delphia, and was settled over the Arch Street Church
and congregation, until his removal to this city, in
November, 1848. In 1850 he published a book enti
tled “The Church; its Ministry and Worship,” in
review of a book of the same name, issued by Rev.
Montgomery Schuyler, an Episcopalian minister, now
of St. Louis.
“Dr. Thompson possesses in an eminent de'gree, the
requisites of a successful minister. He has a mind
of singular clearness, originality and force, thoroughly
analyzing every subject, 'and stating bis vievrs with
perspicuity and with earnest delivery. In the pulpit
he is a forcible and animated speaker, going directly
to the merits of a question, and exhausting the argu
ments in its. favour, illuminating all his essays with
great biblical learning; in the family a sociable, plea
sant and approachable Companion; universally loved
by young and old, such a pastor as any church might
wish, and really a great acquisition to the society of
any city.
“For eleven years, Dr. Thompson has ministerered
satisfactorily to the spiritual wants of his present
congregation; and in the various.relations of pastor
and friend, attachments have been formed that will
cling to him through life. No circumstance has ever
arisen to disturb in any degree the happy relations
of a Christian brotherhood. His church universally
regret his separation from them, and many are the
expressions of heartfelt sorrow at his contemplated
removal. The congregation of the First Church, as
an earnest of their interest in him, offered, unani
mously, to allow him a year’s absence abroad, with
a continuation of his salary. There is every proba
bility that the call to Cincinnati would have been de
clined, but for ! tlib frail health of Mrs. Thompson.
.Her health, for some time bogj, has lately become
worse, and on consultation with eminent and medi
cal authority, a residence in a. warmer climate was
suggested as likely to relieve in some measure a dif
ficulty—that of the throat—she had been troubled
with for some; years.. Their, removal will probably
take place some time during the ensuing month,—
hardly as early as announced a few days since.
Williams’ College.— A correspondent of the Con
gregationalist writes:
“ The regular noon prayer-meeting is not only more
fully attended, hut a spirit of prayer and exhortation
seems to pervade every heart. There are several
hopeful cases of conversion in 'the Freshman Class,
and some are inquiring; In brief, we can but mark
those manifestations which precede, when God is
about to work.
Parental Piety.— The editor of the “Mother’s
Magazine,” in collecting statistics respecting the in
fluence of parental piety, learns some surprising facts
bearing on this subject. Here is , a single, exam
ple:—
In a large country, church of 462 members, in the
State of New York, there are found only fifteen who
had not pious mothers;' and of 255 persons received
into the church by the present pastor, all except 13
came from families having pious' parents. Three
fourths of the children of pious parents haveJjeoome
pious, while among all the families of non-professing
parents, scattered through a wide parish, only three
are found from which, any children have been ga
thered into the church.
Missionary Meetings.; —The Twenty-seventh St.
Methodist* Church devoted the entire day, last Sab
bath, to missionary meetings. The remarks of Dr.
Wise were - peculiarly interesting. He took the
ground -that the missionary work is mainly done by
the minority of the church, that Christians can have,
for abstaining from missionary work, neither the ex
cuse of ignorance, of indifference, of not having been
commanded to. the work by God, nor of lack of re
sults. He claimed that, during the last fifty years,
there have been converted two hundred millions of
heathen: as many as there were converts existing 2
centuries after the Christian era began.
Early Methodism in the Genesee Conference.
—The Rev. Dr. Peck is now in the city of .New York
superintending the publication of bis new work, em
bracing historical sketches of early Methodism with
in the bounds of the Genesee Conference. The book
covers a period of forty years, and contains sketches
of interesting localities and prominent actors during
that period.
Early Missions to India.— The Rev. Dr. Way
land, in his Life of Judson, says that before any mis
sionaries were sent out from this country, “the inte
rest of our churches in missions to the East was
from time to time quickened by the arrival of Mis
sionaries from England, on their way to India, or on
their return home, as, at that time, they could not
obtain passage in any of the ships of the East India
Company.” He says, "I well remember, in my boy
hood the temporary residence -of such missionaries
in New- York, and the deep interest which their pre
sence occasioned in all the churches in that great
city.”
Death of Rev. Joseph Myers.— The Rev. Joseph
Myers, a* member of the Presbytery of Onondaga,
died in Liverpool, Onondaga county, N. Y., Feb. 9th,
aged 65 years. He was born in Herkimer, N. Y.,
and professed faith in the Lord Jesus when eighteen
years old. He was graduated at Onion College in
1821; and having reputably passed through a regu
lar course at Princeton Theological Seminary, was
licensed to preach the gospel by the Presbytery of
Troy in 1824. He was pastor, successively of the
churches in Lockport, Watervilie, Salina, and Liver
pool; and also for short periods preached in Brock
port, Le Roy, and Adams.
Rev. T- S. Reeve, formerly of St. Charles,-Mo.,
has accepted a call to the church in Ironton, Ohio.
Jtnutiatt d>*n*siM ffivxttgflijft.
The Presbyterian Church in Delhi, made va
cant by the dismissal of Rev. D. Torrey, have ex
tended a call to Rev. W. T. Doubleday, who has ac
cepted the same, and expects to enter upon his labors
here April Ist.
The Evangelical Churches of Switzerland.—
The attempt recently made to bring the ,Evangeli
cal churches of the different cantons into an organ
ized uniori, has been successful to an encouraging de
gree. A great point has been gained through the
instrumentality of Dr. Tobler, (the well known tra
veller in the Holy Land,} in changing the free assem
blies previously held, into official conferences, the
second of which was held on the 15th and 16th of
June, last year. The Conference, however, exercises
only an advisory power as yet., Among the points
proposed by the Conference for the consideration of
the cantons was the celebration of a common festival
of the church upon Good Friday of every year. A
Liturgy for the Army Service was also agreed upon.
Measures were taken to relieve a great and crying
evil in the variety of versions of Scriptures in use, in
the German portions of the Reformed population.
These versions not only differ from canton to canton,
from church to church, and even from family to fami
ly ; as many as four are mentioned as in use. A new
revised edition of the old Zurich version is now in
preparation at Zurich.
The Evangelical-Lutheran Missionary Society
of Saxony.— lt is how more than 20 years since the
first missionary Cordes was sent forth. Now there
are besideshim 13 missionaries, and over 100 native
helpers, with; 4661 converted Tamuls. The contribu
tions have increased to 52,005, thalers, that is ten-fold
in2o years. ..... : ...
Bohemia.— There is a sad destitution of ministers
and means of ministerial support among the evange
lical churehes.of this country. Most of the preachers
are at a salary of but 200 florins, only three or four
reach 400 florins, and very often but the half of the
amount is really received. Such facts are the more
painful when we compare with them the activity of
the Church of Rome in the same province. Besides
several societies for the diffusion of Catholic Litera
ture previously existing, we note within the last year
the revival of another, which was suppressed in the
year 1786, by the Emperor Joseph, on account of the
highly objectionable character of its issue. It was
originally , founded in 1669 by the legacy of a widow,
and its numerous issues were distinguished by the
violence of their attacks; upon Protestantism. The
first and only Catholic Testament ever printed in Bo
hemia Was issued by this establishment in 1677. It
was largely provided with Ante-Protestant Annota
tions.
Close Communion in Germany. —The Lutherans
are the close eommunionists of Germany. The Uni
ted Lutheran Conference of Hesse taking the ground
that what might be required by love cannot be al
lowed to override the requirements ,of faith, laid it
down at’their last year’s session as a law that “Lu
theran clergy could not admit members of the Re
formed, and the United Churches to communion with
Lutherans in the Lord’s Supper, nor permit Luthe
rans to join in communion with them so long as they
desire and expect to remain in their old connexions.”
The dying communicant alone is exempted from the
operation of this and similar, rigorous enactments,
for says the Conference, “It does not need to be ex
plained that the views bf the dying man are to be led
away from the strife of churches, and direeted only
to the heavenly manna of the Sacrament itself and to
the conditions of entering the heavenly Canaan be
yond.” Then may our communion, adds the Kirchen-
Zeitung, ever be that of the dying, whose views are
directed to the question how they may take part
in the Great Supper, rather than how they may be
little still more the lesser .supper here below. As
Israel-ate its'Passover with loins girt about, feet shod
and staff in hand like pilgrims,, so, will.we celebrate
the Supper, joyful to find many to walk with us and
‘‘flx their gaze firmly upon JerusalemaFove.”
Religious Statistics of Silesia for 1858,— There
are in this province 1,591,000 Evangelical Christians,
Resides 8,891 separated Lutherans. The number of
communicants is two-thirds of the number of the in
habitants, but nearly 32,000 less' than in the prece
ding year. Eighteen Jews were baptized, 905 per
sons have come over from the Romish, churqh, from
the old Lutherans 55; from the Free, Churches 72;
from Catholic Dissenters 127. On the other hand
there have gone over to the Romish Church 50; to
the old Lutherans 87; to the Baptists and to the Dis
senters 116, and to the Jews 2. : .
Refuge for Converted Priests.— There is an in
stitution in Switzerland where converted Roiriish
priests may find an asylum during the interval be
tween their escape from Rome and their engagement
in the service of Protestantism. The ease of one is
mentioned in the Kirchen Zeilung who was formerly
teacher in a college in France. After the death of
his wife he had betaken himself with his twoboysto
a cloisterwith a view to the missionary work. In these
circumstances he attained a knowledge of Evangeli
cal truth, and after encountering many perils he at
last escaped with his children to Switzerland, where
he publicly renounced Popery. ,
The Presbyterian Church in Jamestown, Cha
tauque County, have secured the pastoral services of
the Rev. Sanford W. Rowe, of Cairo, N. Y., from the
first of April next. Mr. Rowe is, a graduate of the
New York University, and studied Theology at ,the
Union Theological Seminary.
Calvary Church, (O. S.) was organized last week
in Buffalo, by a committee of Buffalo Presbytery, Rev.
Dr. Reid, pastor. Dr. Lord preached the sermon, Dr.
Rogers and Wm. R. Allen were chosen elders, and
Wm. E. Lyman and Lorenzo Sweet, Deacons. A
new edifice is now in course of erection, which it is
said Mr. George Palmer will make over to the Soci
ety, on condition that its members maintain religious
service, and keep out of debt.
Flourtown and Jeffersonville.— The Pastor of
the Presbyterian Church writes us:;
Feeling it to be our duty to bring the gospel more
directly into-contact with the minds of our fellow-men
and to save sinners, we commenced a series of meet
ings, hoping it,would prove the most successful means
of accomplishing the wise counsels and purposes of
God. We were not disappointed. The gospel was
presented in its plainness and simplicity— earnest ap
peals were made to sinners—and fervent prayer was
offered. '
Christians were revived, and sinners were converted
to God. We realized seven hopeful conversions at
Flourtown, and five a€ Jeffersonville. Some very good
impressions were made besides. The good Spirit of
the Lord was with us. Oar meetings were very in
teresting.
Seven persons were added to the Church at Flour
town at our last communion season. Five have given
their names as candidates for Chnrch-membership at
Jeffersonville. These little branches of Christ’s Church
are exerting a good influence. The blessing of the Lord
is with us. The public worship of God is well sus
tained. We have great reason to be very thankful to the
Lord for what he has done for us. Four promising
young men were among the converts at Flourtown. A
very hopeful future in our enterprise indeed.
The Converts at Jeffersonville were chiefly young
ladies. O,how good it is to labor for souls! Pray
for us, that we may enjoy continually “refreshings from
the presence of the Lord.”
A Controversy is being raised in England now
in the columns of some of the Methodist papers, on
the propriety of lining the hymns at public worship.
Old Methodism clings to the system of giving out the
hymn by lines. Young Methodism prefers to have
the whole verse given out at once, and there does not
seem much probability of the two being likely soon
to come to any thing like a definite settlement of the
question.
A New Church Organized.— The efforts of the
Rev. E. E. Adams, in this city, have proved highly
successful, and have resulted in the organization of
a new church, under circumstances quite favorable
to its future prosperity. ■
The organization transpjred on last Friday eve
ning, in Broadway Hall. ..[About forty persons pre
sented certificates ,of mEtaberahip from various
churches in this city, andMter being addressed on
the several topics respecting the new relations and re
sponsibilities they wore about to assume, they were
constituted into a church,,with the title of “North
Broad Street Presbyterian phureh.” - Messrs. Whil
din and Thomas Potter were unanimously elected
Elders, which was with their installation,
they having been for many years ordained and act
ing elders in other churches previous to their con
nexion with this new enterprise. The services were
conducted by the Rev. Messrs. John Patton, Henry
Darling, John McLeod, and Charles Brown.
The Rev. Mr. Darling gave the charge to the elders;
the charge to the people was delivered by the Rev.
Mr. Brown, and the services were concluded by the
Rev. Mr. McLeod.
The prospects of this enterprise are very encou
raging, and those who are especially engaged in it
have elicited the deep interest felt for them among
the members of sister churches.
The, World’s Concert for Prayer. —We learn
from the London correspondent of the Presbyterian
Banner, that the world's concert for prayer, as pro
posed by the Lodiana missijtoaries, vras held at Free-.
mason’6 s Hall, every mortiing}Shd evening, and daily
prayer in many other places: • At Islington there was
a glorious meeting.,, The vicar, the son of the late
Bishop Wilson, of Calcutta,presided. About twenty
ministers.were.oh the platform- ; The place of as
sembly was crowded to excess; many were obliged
to go away. Solemn and {suitable discourses were
preached very generally on the previous day, and on
the evening bf the Sabbath, jjrayer united and earnest
was very common. Never, surely, was there aeon
cert of prayer like this since the Saviour’s ascension.
The number engaging in it; the extent of the con
cert, beginning far away Eastward, while those in
England had night’s darkness and: sleep upon them;
and then its utterances bursting forth here all day
long; and as the sunset in the West, he dawned on
the United States to wake up fresh suppliants. Like
a glorious zone this concert has encircled the globe.
A clergyman of the Chureh:of England, at the Isling
ton meeting, among other supplications, asked a spe
cial blessing on those brethren in India with whom
the proposal for this concert originated.
Monument to Rev. Geo. Chandler.— An ad
journed meeting of the citizens of ths-iate District of
Kensington, favorable'to tijfeerection of a monument
to the memory of the Rev. Chandler, was held
on Saturday afternoon, and; after the adoption of a
series of resolutions, a committee was appointed to
solicit subscriptions for the erection of the monu
ment. • ;;
National Convention of Delegates from the
Union The Convention was
called together after the noon prayer-meeting in San
som street church, on Tuesday of last week. The
Delegates were welcomed in an address by Rev. Dr.
Brainerd. : '
.' After assuring them that, they •were welcomed with
warm hearts to the City, of Brotherly Love, he said
that it seemed to be ,appropriate that the
Convention should be hq®,where the prayer-meet
ings were begun, and where they had, been continued
month after month, and; year after year, without
abatement of interest, and where they had been at
tended with such grand results in the conversion of
the ungodly. It was 'appisjiif?ate that at so interest
ing a field those from a distance should be welcomed
to fellowship and prayer. Hospitality is the duty of
the Christian; to throw <jqieri?wide 'their ‘doors, and
to invite to » seat at.theHrtables'- - Ifthe-spenker un
derstood the objects of the Convention, it was the
combination of those who represented the charity and
activity of Christianity. They,had not assembled to
settle creeds. The great diastribes of , Christianity were
settled in ages gone by.. What is now wanted is
Christian energy. * The ! speaker referred to the first
Union prayer-meetings which were held in this city,
and to the Taet that they had shown the strength of
the lay element in carrying on the war against the
common enemy. ' .
W. E, Dodge, Esq., of New York City, was elected
President of the. Convention. In the afternoon, a
hearing was,given to the delegates from Washington
city, who described the character of the Union meet
ings in that place as peculiarly harmonious and de:
lightful. Not a jar had occurred in the whole two
years of Iheir existence, 1 Dr. Sunderland, of the 4J
St. Church, was referred to as a man of eminent ca
tholicity, and as the pillar of the union movement in
that city. In the evening, an address was delivered
by Ex-Gov. Pollock.
,On Wednesday morning the report of a Committee
in relation to the in every proper way
and to every possible extent the principles of Christian
union, was read, and with seme amendments adopted.
This report recommends; among other things, that
the pulpit and the press tfe urged to advocate the
subject-of Christian Union, and ;that a standing com
mittee be appointed, composed of the oldest and most
experienced in the body, to carry out the recommen
dations embodied in the report..
Eev. Dr. Nevin offered a resolution recommending
that the first Monday of October be designated as a
day of special prayer to promote unity among Chris
tians. This was adopted after a discussion in which
many of the delegates participated.
The interesting and highly edifying exercises of
the convention were prolonged until Thursday, when
an extended series of resolutions aiming at the per
petuation of the Union Prayer-meetings and the in
crease. of the prevailing spirit of union among Chris
tians was adopted.
The existing Committee of nineteen rts authorized
to increase its number to'thirty- Parting addresses
"were made" by the presiding officer, Mr. Dodge, by
Rev. Dr. Newton, and others, when the Convention
adjourned, —to meet in Washington, in December
next.
Liberal and >Timely.->4 friend of Missions in
New York who does not pej&it bis name to be men
tioned, ,has given five thousand dollars to the Ame
rican Board of Foreign Missions. Several donations,
equally timely, if not so large, have been recently
made, and the funds are coming in encouragingly to
ward the payment of the debt.
It was stated by Secretary Wood, in the missionary
meeting at the Bible House on Monday, that this donor
is a member of the New School Presbyterian Church,
and was one who had felt strongly in disapproval of
the action of the Board.in,giving up its Choctaw
mission. The contribution was an unsolicited thank
offering in view of the wants of the missions, and of
the proved safety of investments which had been
supposed to be lost. The donor hopes to do the same
next year. - ,
Consistency. —At the Fulton Street Prayer-meet
ing, the other day, the presiding officer alluded to the
importance of having the precepts and examples of
Christians consistent, if they would exert influence
and secure the respect of the world. The next day,
a gentleman present sent him the following incident,
suggested by the remark of the previous day. It is
a plain enforcement of a great-practical truth.
D. said to W„ one day,—“Come, sign the tempe
rance pledge."
“Yes, if you will join thtftinti-smokine sooietr.” -
“Agreed!" ; . , -
Twelve years have passed since then. What pro

Mr. Brownson is warning his Catholic brethren in
his Review, that “ the Church" must decline in this
country, and dwindle into insignificance, unless it can
attain a greater intellectual power. He.says that the
Church is not growing by conversions half.as rapidly as
it is. diminishing by perverts; that it T cannot hope to
maintain its ground by immigration from abroad; and
that very soon some of its great cathedrals will be
without congregations. ; He says the Catholics most
humble the Protestant pride of intellect in this coun
try, by proving themselves superior..' And of this he
sees but little present hope,as the intellectuality of the
Catholics of America is now so near zero, that, among
all their hundreds of thousands, no work of any merit
from the best Papal pens can command more, than
2000 or 2500 sales of copies. •

A conversation, alleged to have taken place between
the emperor of France and Mr. Seward, appeared re
cently in the London Times. It was to the effect that

went to tbe.palace, was,courteously received, had ques
tions asked him about Mr. Webb and other parties
known to Louis .Napoleon when a, sojourner in the
United States;: and then, when Mr. S, referred to a
visit paid by him at Rome to the pope, the emperor
said: “-Ah! and what did you think of the pope ?” “I
thought him," was the reply, “much more the priest
than the sovereign.” The emperor exclaimed, “ Ex
actly so; you have hit the ‘ right nail on the head.
That’s it; he is more thepriest than the sovereign. T hat

complete what Macaulay had begun. 1

ness of “sensation advertising” of late, that even-

which he gives it up. He will not contend with the
“fast and faming religious papers, the Spirit of the
Times and Clipper? in the line of flash advertising,
bnt will quietly hold to the opinion that the Ledger is
“a very fair paper.” It is rather cruel of Mr. Bonner
to put the Independent in such company as the Spirit
of ike Times and Clipper.

The grand dome of the Capitol at Washington is pro
gressing very slow; constructed entirely of iron, it is a
piece of work involving great time and labor. The
first tier of pillars is now erected, which hardly em
braces one-fourth of the height. The great quantity
of iron used in its construction will render the struc
ture of immense weight, and it is a matter of serions
speculation whether it can ever be completed.

for publication a volume which will be of great interest
to naturalists and geologists. It will contain photo
lithographic prints of the most remarkable of the fossil

Among the productions of ,our artists, no recent
work has elicited so much spoken admiration as the
one of Barry’s—“Tbe Reotor’s Ward." . Not only is
it pleasing to the masses, but persons of the highest
cultivated taste in art express themselves delighted
with it.
Among the many letters of-congratulation received
by the artist, is one from the Rev. Dr. F. D. Hunt
ington. Mr. Barry allows us to make a brief extract.
The Professor says:
“Let me add to all of tbe encomiums you re
ceived, more worthy than mine, in that they have the
authority of a wiser judgment, a simple Hearty as
surance of my delight and admiration at this most
beautiful creation of your art, the head of the ‘Rec
tor’s Ward.’ It arrests my steps and binds my feet
ajfc whatever window I see it, in whatever state of the
sidewalks or of the thermometer. I think it always
leaves me in a mood less removed from the serenity
and purity which it so successfully represents.”—
