Noon-Day Pyayer*meeting.— On the 4th of July
the meeting wag well attended and spirited. It was ;
gratifyingto see so many persons prepared to celebrate :
rtkS national anniversary in tho quiet and simple
exercises of a prayer meeting, Sorely the true patriot
must have felt that the surety for the continued exist
ence and wholesome working of our free institutions
was to be found In a gathering for prayer, rather than
in the noisy demonstrations of popular feeling with
which most seem to feel that the day is properly cele
brated. We giv,e a briefoutline qf the remarks which
were made) (v 4. *' J
Said one: Our conducted.
*it is it should be permanent or whole
some in Its unless based upon true religion.
Our public men should be Christians. Bnt now they
do not hesitate to go to Congress with the bowie knife
and the revolver in their pockets, and even to use them
there. The people are responsible for this state of
things. Each one of us should consider how far he is
responsible. Let us labor to diffuse right Christian
sentiments thrdugh the community. Let ns diligently
instill them into the minds of our children and these
outrages will cease, and our government be purified.
Said a layman i We are at times discouraged at the
excited and divided state of our country. If we had
a revival coming down oh every part of the land, upon
our cities and villages, descending into every valley
and hnmiet, we should hear no more of commotion.
On this day there is special fitness in-prayer, and
particularly in the object for which this fflestihgwas
established —prayhr for a revival of religion. -
Air years ago this day, I,
who had op to that time been an impenitent sinner,
sent up a petition for ft new hfeftrt, and after a conflict
of some six weeks, it pleased God to reveal himself
to me, and he gave me the white stone with the name
written on it Since then, he has graciously sustained:
| me, and I could not refrnin ftom rising upon this, the
41st anniversary of the t day, to encourage ail to begin
the Christian life. God’s grace will uphold you to
the end. .
Prater Answered. —About 6‘ months ago a re
quest for prayer was made to this meeting from a
cold, pastorless congregation in this State. Since
that time, I am happy to state that the Spirit has
come in great power. The work of the Lord is re
vived, and 54 have been added to that church, and
6 to another in A pastor too has
besn secured, andiM tpphg faithfully araong|hem.
Hes|,;JS>ethfett, is strbnfWoourngementto pr’Qrafidl
never cease. He answers US while we are yetspeak
ing. A few nights ago l.tOpk' the opportunity of
urging upon a gentleman who happened to be my
bed-fellow, the duty of becoming a Christian. After
pressing him with the qulstion, at Idugtb’he answered
that he did intend to be. a CbristJaiJ.:
boginf I asked. This very night! was the surpri
sing-response. And he has since give* evidence of
a genuine change of heart.
American RevitaM.— The crowning gloiy of "burj
oountry is its revivals. There is no country on which
the Spirit has been poured out in such a variety of
ways or in snob great abundance.. Giir, liberty is
chiefly to be valued as the liberty of worship. We
have an open Bible and a godly-Ministry. America
has such a ministry as cannot bo found the world
over. This meeting is for the purpose of praying for
a revival, If its attention should be directed to any’
one thing, it is tb marlt the footsteps of ?the Son of
God going forth conquering and to conquer.
Genesee Valley semi-annual
meeting of Genesee Valley Frelbytery -was held in
Portville, June 19th, Rev. J, Whkemanwas chosen
Moderator, add W. C. White, Clerk. The
opening sermon was preachedby Rev. J. N. Hubbard,
the .JagtModerator.
the ordinary routipe of business, the report
of RpV. Burr Baldwin, employed as Presbyterial Mis:
sionary, and the dis'eussiqn which arose on the sub
ject of Home Missions, occupied much of the time
and attention of the session. It was voted to employ
him another year, to labor among both Congregational
and Presbyterian Churches in our bounds, which are
without stated, preaching. Brother Baldwin has hed
large experience in this kind of work; and his labors
among us are already hearing fruit.
A deputation of Presbytery went by request to the
house of Mr. Henry, Dusenberry, an Elder of the
Church at Portville, to administer to hiin the sacra
ment on fais'sick bed,- The occasion was one of deep
interest and solemnity, and willnot soon be forgotten
by those present. Mr. Dusenberry hassinco then
been released from earth, and has; we doubt not, sat

Third Presbyterian church held their anniversary
at- 3J o’clock; P. M. ! ■ The church was filled with
lars, teachers, and friends. There were estimated to
be not less than'7oo or 800 present.
This church may emphatically be called a Sunday
school missionary church. Having itself had but
barely a nominal existence nn.til,abont five yearff'ago;
it has now an edifice of an ejegant and noble Strii'ctare,
built of stjne, and in very fine taste, with a large and
intelligent audience, to which is appended a home and
three mission schools, via. r the William Street, West
Marßet, a'«(T Milwaukee Railroad Mission Schools.' .
Thesoxerciaea in the church were as follows r singing,
Scriptures, prayer, reading the annual Re
port, singing by the schools severally and unitedly;
addresses. -
The Rev. Mr. Swazey, who has recently been called
to the pastorate of the church, is believed to be the
right kind of a pastor, caring for the lambs as well as
for the older members of the flock.' His heart is right,
and in the right place. . !■

..-illlders’ Meeting.—-A meeting of the Elders and
Ministers connected With the Presbytery of Schnyler,
111,,'was held, at Mt. Sterling .on the first Tuesday in
June, at 8 o’clock, P. M. : ; ,
A sermon was preached by Rev. George I. King,
of Qnir.cy, on the Nature and Duties of the Eldership,
from Ae& -xk, ’2S, aisd f’Peter v. 2. The Convention
was then organized by the election of elders F. Col
lins, of Quincy, as chairman, and James Arthur se
cretary. Seventeen elders and seven ministers an
swered to their names;. There were also about as
many visitors, from abroad, and; the sessions of, the
Convention were well attended by the people of Mt.
Sterling. , ; . ..
After animated and interesting discussions, the.
following resolutions were passed: ;
Aesqlned,: That our elders are bound equally with
the pastors, to. sustain the .purity of the Church, by
guarding the, door ofc admission, and purging it from
unworthy members ftowatchover andinstruct(hp
gemhks, and the baptized children of the Church ;
{ ;f jtti
to see that the wants of the sick are supplied; to
sustain the regular services of the Church, and to
maintain that general supervision over its interests
without which-no Church can flourish.
Seaolved, That upon the. elders: in our vacant
churches rests a peculiar responsibility in employing
such.means of grace,as God. put within their
reach, especially in visiting from house to house, and
instructing the young.
It was also resolved, that ‘‘elders should regard
themselves as under obligations equally with the
pastor, ,to Originate'Whatever plans may seem to them
necessary to promote the interests of the Church, and
not wait to be led to their duty.” *■'
A committee, consisting of. Rev. S.E.Wishort,and
elder Griffith, of Rußhville, and elder Crane of Mount
Sterling, was appointed to select time and place, and
make ail necessary arrangements for. a similar
ing next year.
Rev. W. E. Moore, of Westchester, haß received
a call from the Ist Church, Kensington, which he
has declineJ. As the call , was given with a great
degree of unanimity, Mr. Moore's declination has
been received by the congregation with very great
and general regret. '
The American Missionary Association— One
of the chnrcheß gathered:at the South, on anti-slavery
principles, was presented in a charge by one of their
judges to the Grand Jury, as being indictable for
every meeting it held while their articles of faith
were unrepealed^—■a.nd'that for tlje, first offence each,
member attending such a meeting would be punisha
ble by imprisonment for one year in the penitentiary
—and for the second offence death! This “charge”
? was made for practical attention, blit the church has
not been “hung by’theffaeck” as yet.' Need:we go
to Naples to find instances of intolerance ?
Action of the New Englandßodies onHomeMis
„ OP MASSACHUSETTS.—
1. Resolved, That.the General Association remember
i with satisfaotion the years in*.which the members of
the Presbyterian and Congregational denominations
have nniEed anii seal in planting the
institutions of the Gospelin the new settlements of
our country, and acknowledge with gratitude the large
j measure of success withwhieh God has crowned their:
*' Christian endeavors; and it would give them pleasure
to see a united work of benevolenc.e continued, if it
ceuld still he-prosecuted .with'mutual happiness and
confidence according to'methpds mutually equitable
and satisfactory. ■ '... '
2. Resolved, That while thisAssoeiation fully ao-
cords to the General Assembly the entire right of
adopting any plana and methods ■which their wisdom
and Christian judgment may select, whereby to fulfill
their-/obligations: to oar Hedeemefc in promoting his,
cause amongst those in .need of the Gospel, they cannot
but regretihat the .plah'E'ppwn as the Church Ex
tension fPihtt” has served to eicite suspicion and dis
trust, and to cherish ■news evidently leading to a dis
continuance of united action.:
S. : J Mesolved, That this Association has hed, and still
continues- to have; great confidence in the aims and.
in the administration,of the American Home Mission
ary .Society,, and. they. areunwilling to accede to a,
conference, in, which only a part of the State Congre
gational'/bodies are represented, believing that it
might lciid to unprofitable debate arising ont of ques
tions, the main issue of. which appears by the ex
pressed opinions and acts of tho General Assembly
to be so nearly a settled ?and unalterable conclusion.
4. Resolved, < That if the. churches; in the Presbyte
rian connection; or any'part of them, feel it t 6 be tlieir
duty to withdraw from the American Home'Mission
ary SociCtyj'in'«Per that with niore freedom and
heartiness they may ephibine their strength and means
in promotin| r the evangelization of oiir common coun

lating one another, in good works, living in peace
and looking to the God of peace to sanctify us wholly*
service and glory; . and’at "the same, time as 'in
du.ty bound; we commend . the American Home Mis
sionary Society, to the continued confidence, prayers
and.contributions of the churches.
; GENiftA£CoifyENTioNorMaiNEi---l. ThatthcGen
eral Corference of Maine haß: been ever ready to.
maintain 'the correspondence which has so long iub-.
sisted bet Ween tbe Geoeral Assembly of the Presby
terian church and ourselves. We sbonld truly regret
th'eiiiterruption of this correspondence for the briefest
season ; we desire its perpetual continuance, and we
cordially reciprocate the, fraternal assurances which
were addressed to ns by the respected Chairman of
the Committee.s -
2. ThattheGeneral Conference has never seen reason
to disapprove; and must still approve, of the princi
ples which have so long guided the American Home
Missionary Society in the aid wjbich it has afforded to
missionary churches; and particularly of the principle
that where such churches- are included within bodies
auxiliary to the Society, whether Presbyteries or
otherwise, they should assist, according to their ability,
in raising funds for the Society. Such, a principle,
we are constrained to say, appears to us to be as just
and necessary as'it is expedient. "We cannot, accord
ingly, recommend the adoption of any principles which
are to control the future course of the Society, that
shall interfere with those whose' operation has been
so desirablo.
3. The General Assembly at its last session has
decided, that “ it is no longer an open'questionwhether
it shall continue to jprosqhnte itSichuroh extension
work, so as to supply any lack of service that may
exist on its field according to its own judgment and
ability.” 'This decisionthe'Assembly had 1 the entire
right to adopt, and it has the right to abide by it as
its plan of future action. Such a decision, however,
appears to this Conference to be inconsistent , with
the principles'which'have so long and so usefully
guided the American Home Missionary Society. With
so wide a diversity of views thus existing between the
General . Assembly ..and the General .Association of
Maine, we cannot perceive the expediency of appoint
ing delegates to meet-in a proposed conference with
the committee of ten appointed ,by the Assembly.;",
Truly lamentable. —The sympathies of the public
are requested for the N. Y. Churchman in view of the
state of things in the lowa Episcopal churches. It says:
lii another column will be found a sad record of the
unwarrantable and uncanonical proceedings of a clergy

times mis-ealled“ Baptists."
The .General Theological Seminary, (P. E.) of
New York, with largeproperty in Real Estate, estimated
to he worth over half a million, isgreatly embarrassed for
of available funds, insomuch that-at the recent
of the Board of Trustees its position was
described as approaching to bankruptcy. Resolutions'
were passed, authorizing the alienation of property in
order to raise funds to meet the current expenses.
The Bishop of Western New York offered 10 acres of
land and $lO,OOO if the Seminary were removed to the:
location in West Chester; Co., 20 miles from New York.

An Important Meeting was held in London last
week for the purpose of a fraternal interchange of
opinions “On the best means of remedying the pre
sent state of the Church of England, arising from
attempted innovations affecting its Protestant princi
ples and character,"
General Alexander spoke as true soldiers always
speak. He said the great work of the Church of
England, in the present day, was to complete that
which the Reformation had left incomplete. The
principle that inoved the Reformation was not the
mere abandonment of the fripperies and ceremonies
of the Papal Church, but the inculcation of the great
doctrine of justification by faith.
If may he questioned if anything very decisive can
be done,until there shall have been an overpowering
revival of true religion in the Church, thoroughly
imbuing the bulk, both of the bishops and the clergy,
with the right spirit.
Prof. Baden Powell, one of the most unsound of
the‘Broad Church'school, is dead.
Madagascar.—RemaTKablenewshas been received
from Madagascar. It appears that the Queen (noto
rious as a ,pOrsecntor of the native Christians, add
her banishment of the Society’s missionaries,) bad
recently become anxious about the peaceful transmis
sion of the crown to her son. But before the son’s
birth she had promised to leave the crown to the
eldest son .ofher Bister, and this man, being very mi
litary in his habits, was well disposed to accept it.
Mr. Ellis’ recent book, “A visit to Madagascar," also
indicated liim as a bitter persecutor. But the Queen,
as. if under supernatural influence, resolved to' decide
the matter in what would be regarded by herself and
subjects as the most sacred way. I She had two j&rs
filled; the one with earth gathered from her hus
band’s grave, the other with jewels. She decreed
that the two candidates should come into a chamber
where .the jars were, (covered,) and that he who
should ley his hand on the jar containing the ashes
of the departed king, should he the future Sove
reign. •
The result was, that the Queen’s own son, the de
voted Christian confessor, and zealous friend of the
missionaries, having chosen that jar, all unconscious
of its contents, was immediately recognised as the
future Sovereign of Madagascar.
His life, ere now, has been conspired against, and
it may be so again, but let us hope and pray that the
truly Apostolic Church of Madagascar, which has
been cradled in adversity, has furnished so many
martyrs, and in spite of an edict of extirpation as de
termined and diabolical in its fell purposes, as that
of Diocletian himself, may find in this Prince, as a
future Sovereign of the island,, a nursing father and
protector,— Cor. Baris : -
Hungary.—Court-Councillor Zsedennyi and Pas
tor Maday, condemned for resisting the patent of Sep
tember, to a long incarceration (and which, if report
may be credited, was enforced with On unprecedent
ed and most unbecoming rigour) have been, by the
direct interference of General Benedek, first relieved
from these extra, severities, and will shortly, in con
sequence of his representation at head-quarters, be
entirely set at liberty.
Denmark.— Reljgious Toleration.—-The King
has given his assent to the act of Parliament annul
ling the “Parish Bond,”—a law by which each in
dividual was bound to apply to his own parish clergy
man alone for the Lord’s supper and baptism.
Preaching,in Jeddo. —On the 11th of last March,
Rev. S. R. Brown, missionary of the'Reformed Dutch
Church in Japan, preached the first Protestant ser
mon ever delivered in that city, using on the occa
sion the first English Bible ever brought there
(broughtby Mr. Harris, Nov. 30, 1857.)
Mr. Brown says the edictagainst introducing new
religions,-is still in force in Japan, but he is laboring

the subject has been brought to the attention of the

Testimony to American Missibnaiies in South
Africa.-'-The Natal Courier says:’ “It may not he
generally known out of Natal, that the American
Board of Missions has a chain of stations along the
coast of the colony. Mr. Grout is one of the first
missionaries to the Zulus, and, besides his energetic
and -wcli-directed ministerial labors, be has rendered
good service in the literary department of the great
enterprise in which he is engaged,” The article:
enumerates schools, industrial institutions, and
churches, all cared for by the missionaries, and
makes a fine testimony in their favor, all the more
valuable ,for appearing in- a commercial paper.
The Hew translatioa of the New Testament into
Arabic, which so long and laboriously engaged the
attention of the late excellent Dr. Smith,'of Beirut,
has recently been completed by Dr. Vyck. It is a
much better translation than the old, and it is far
mbre acceptable to. the people. It is sold at ten pi
astres (about forty-five cents) per copy, at all the sta
tions of the American. Board in Syria*
India.—Newspapers are valuable adjuncts in the
work of converting souls to Christ in India. The
Bombay Guardian mentions the admission of a re
spectable Hindoo to the Free Church Mission Church
in Bombay, on the 11th of March. Ilis convictions
were brought about by reading, blessed by the Spirit.
For many years he has been a subscriber to the Dny
anodaya, and has been very much influenced by it in
the adoption of his present views.
Heathenism not Dead Yet.— A southern mission
ary in India writes: - ■
There are, however,’occasional evidences of hea
thenism lifting up its head with renewed boldness;
one of which is.the erection of a new temple to the

Law and Obxier' in otui Cities.—Phiiadelphia, at
the present time, and for a.considerable period, has
heen'iimbstorderlycity.Riotsßavebteenfiqppreslfed
so promptly at various times, that disturbers are
cowed. Our city government is understood to have
an eye commcndably.single to the peace, and true
welfare of their vast charge. They are not in the in
terest either of the violent or of the corrupt among
us. We need but one additional reform in. order to
bring our&rrangementa to as great a degree of per
fection; almost, as could be expected among fallible
men; a Paid Fire Department.- If we turn to other
cities, we shall find that good men, everywhere) are
combining hopefully and energetically to secure a
due respect to the Sabbath) and an enforcement of
those legal restraints upon the vicious propensities
of men, without which life and property would be
come valueless, and civilization itself broken up. In
Baltimore, the proprietors of Barnum’s Hotel have
been fined five hundred and forty dollars, for opening
their bar and selling liquors to their numerous guests
on,the Sabbath before the recent Democratic Con
vention. The Commissioners of the police: are de
scribed by the secular press as men of distinguished
piety, who have ,not only made war on plug-uglyism,
but are now engaged in a crusade designed to sub
vert and crush quit gambling bouses. ;...,
The ‘Pittsburg Chronicle,’ of the second instant,
says; ,
“At Manchester the street cars were not allowed
to run on Sunday last. Mayor-Morrison gave notice
that he would not permit th.e law to be violated. It
is said that the Board of Directors is divided as to
the propriety of running, in'wbieh event we presume
no attempt to dispute the legality of the restriction
will be made.”
In New York city,-although the wicked seem to
bear rule, and startling acts of violence are frequently
committed, yet a powerful movement in behalf of
the proper observance of the Sabbath has been ‘car
ried on, which, in view of the obstacles to be ehequri-i
tered, has met with an amazing degree of suceess.
Men not to be daunted are engaged in it. A lawyer
is understood to have vowed that be would bring the
proprietors of the German theatres to justice for their
violations of the Sunday Law, if it took him his life
to do it. They have been brought to justice, and now
a strong remonstrance has been addressed to the
Central Park Commissioners against the proposed
devotion of that place of resort to the extensive and
open desecration of Sabbath, for which the great
cities of Europe are infamous. They ard'likely in
this, as in their other attempts, to prove successful;
An exchange informs us that the people of Indian
apolis are holding meetings to calmly and earnestly
consider the importance of doing something to re
form and stop the downward moral tendency of the
youth.
These are hopeful symptoms. If our great centres
of population and influence take a bold and conspi
cuous: stand for public morals, the whole country
will feel the wholesome influence.
Sunday Laws.— Every State in the Union, with
the exception of Louisiana and California, have laws
for the protection of the civil Sabbath. French and
Spanish influence prevent their enactment in Loui
siana, and a judge declared them unconstitutional in
California, just before he killed his fellow man in a
duel.
High School.— l4s boys passed the necessary ex
amination, and were admitted l to the High School,
July 6.

Archbishop Hughes.— This prelate has brought
himself to notice once’ more by a spirited and ener
getic remonstrance against the recent New York
.marriage registry which he refuses, torebey*
choosing to rot ip a dungeon rather than betray se

New York last week an anjunction was granted to
restrain tbo United States Marshal from levying on
certain goods, chattels, lands, and hereditaments o.f
the defendants as sureties in the sum of seventy-five
thousand dollars for Isaac V. Fowler, late Postmaster
and defaulter to the government.
The application was based on the ground that
Fowler was a defaulter to the government at the time
the bond was executed, and. that such fact was known
to the Post Office Department, and the defendants
were ignorant of it. -
The Court ordered two issues to be tried; one to
be an issue of fact before a jury, and the other an
issue of law as to any concealment by the Post Office
Department. '

Mail Robberies. —We have intelligence of a series

the mails lie over, by a man named Whitcomb, who
appears to have been possessed of skeleton keys
adapted for the purpose.
Whitcomb was arrested, but not until he had plun

Italy.— Capture of an American FcsseZ.—The Pa
ris correspondent of the Daily News writes as fol
lows on the subject:—There is much contradictory
news about the two vessels carrying arms for Gari
baldi, which were captured by the Neapolitans. While
it is re-asserted by some telegrams that the Sardinian
ambassador hag protested on the ground of their
having papers for. Malta, the Opinion Rationale pro
fesses to know that they were sailing under the Ame
rican flag with perfectly regular papers, and that they
have already been released in pursuance of the de
mand of the American Consul. At all events it is
quite certain that Col. Medici, about whom, in con
nection with this affair, there was much anxiety, has
safely landed at Palermo, in spite of the Neapolitan
cruisers, with a force of 3000 men.
Sicily. —A decree is said to have been signed by
Garibaldi confiscating all the property of the Jesuits.
Two orphan asylums have been established at Pa
lermo for the reception of sueh children as have lost
their parents, either in any of the battles or by the
bombardment.
, Three new journals have been founded at Paler
mo: The Vtilorio Emanuele, the Vessillo lialiano and
Corner di Stcilia.
The last accounts from Messina state that the
royal authority, only existed in name in that place.
The emigration m masse was continuing, and the
government functionaries and the judges had been
among the first to fly.
The greater part of the soldiers returned from Pa
lermo had lost or thrown away their arms, hut their
knapsacks were full of booty —loaded with silver
bracelets, rings, trinkets of gold, and jewelry, costly
Madonnas and communion plate, Even the wives of
officers were seen selling diamonds and pearls belong
ing to the first families in Sicily.
When the mail steamer Hermes left Naples on the,
■l6th, an insurrection in that capital was regarded as
imminent and certain. The greatest excitement, eon*
umon and alarm prevailed amongst all classes.
he Corners Mercantile announces that the Sicilian
government at Palermo has sent Count Amari to
iunn, as special envoy to the court of Victor Emma
nuel.
All the communes in Sicily have presented ad
dresses requesting annexation to Piedmont. The
clergy and aristocracy are at the head of the move
ment.
The Times’ correspondent writes on the 14th inst,
that the Neapolitan Government seemed to trust
more to the knife then the bayonet. 'lnformation
had arrived confirming the departure of a batch of
brigands to assassinate Garibaldi. The confirmation
comes from such sources that it is impossible to doubt
the truth of it.
The King of Naples is said to have accepted the
proposition made by his Council for a constitution on
a liberal basis—an alliance with Piedmont on certain
conditions.
England.— A Grand Royal Volunteer Review took
place in London on the 23d of June. The total force
was from twenty to .twenty-five thousand. This was
considerably more than the muster on either of the
two occasions in 1803, when George 111 reviewed his
volunteers.
The' Manchester Guardian, of the 22d, says that
the Britannia Cotton Mill, belonging to Messrs. Ma
yall, at Moseley, was destroyed by fire. The mill is
said to have been the largest in the country, and to
have contained 120,000 spindles, all the machinery
being of the newest and best kinds. The damage,
we are told, will probably amount to from £120,000
to £150,000. ;

If Medicine is necessary, use Brakdreth’s Pills.
They arc as pleasant as a truly effective medicine can
be.’ • It is true you may take purgatives 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 fluid abstracted. Beware of them.
Brandreth’s Mils only take hold of those matters which
the body, 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. The man is thrice blessed who is
so fortunate as to be acquainted with this good and al
most perfect gift to man, because he has to a great ex
tent his body insured in health by their occasional use.
