The Revival in Portsmouth, O.—E. P. P. writes to the last Central Herald:— " We received nineteen members to the commu nion of our church on last Sabbath, (15th inst.,) two by certificate, and seventeen by examination. Of thesosseven were males, and ten females. There were nine heads of families, five males and four females. At leailt eight were over thirty years of age, and se veral over forty. All but four bad been previonsly baptized. "Our Union Prayer-meeting is still well attended, and there are many who are interest&l in the. ' of their salvathm, some OrwliomWiTnaTit hopes in Chris - Valid - others are resisting his Holy Spirit, and unwilling to yield their hearts to His control." Installation at Ithaca:--on the 11th inst. Bev. David Torrey, late of Delhi, N. Y., was installed pas tor of the Presbyterian church at Ithaca. The first pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. Wisner, over eighty years of age, and still with eye undimi nished, and natural force little abated, delivered the charge to the people. The sermon was preached by the pastor's brother-In-law, Rev. Z. M. Humphrey, of Chicago, who was also his classmate in college, and two other classmates in college or in the semi-' nary had a part in the installation services. A beautiful address was made by Rev. Mr. Schenck, of the Dutuh Reformed church in Ithaca, giving the new pastor the right hand of fellowship in behalf of the churches of other denominations in the place. At the meeting of Presbytery, previous to the in stallation of Mr. Torrey, the relations of our church to the Home Miss. Society were made a topic of discus sion, and it was voted nem. con. to request the churches to send their collections to the Church Ex tension Committee. Rev. Lewis Godden.—We announce , a ew weeks since, that . Rev. Lewis Godden removed from-001w3ps, I d., to Cin4 n en charge of. the Inniblneeiradi on ter Street. Fie was taken sick a few days after his removal. Ile lingered in great weakness, but with his soul stayed 'upon God, until Wednesday night, the 11th inst., when be fell asleep in Jesus. ills remains were taken to Newark for interment. The Rev. John C. Smith, D. D, of ,Washington; City, preached in the First Presbyterian Church, Carlisle, on Sabbath morning last. , Nr. James , Orton was ordained to the work of the Gospel ministry at an adjourned. meeting., of the Presbytery of Chenango, held in Greene, NIT., on July 11th. The sermon was preached by Rev. G.

It was made free of debt by generous contributors on the day of dedication. Rev. Alfred Newton, of Norwalk, Ohio, celehra- ted the quarter century of his labors in connexion with the Presbyterian church in that place, in a very pleasing manner on the 24th of June. He was in vited to a social gathering, at whioh . five or six hun dred were present, and the occasion was in every re spect a meet happy and memorable one, an(1,40 „ 41,4, not close wftliout av@ dial demondiration of regard towiiialtdparor who bad labored so lung nod so faithfully. At nine o'clock, after the bountiful supper was concluded, Mr. J. R. Oeboie, in the name of the good people of Norwalk, presented him with a purse of one thousand dollars. The ladies contributed a.basket of sundries, so that the entire value of presents was estimated at $1.250. No sum of money , can express the worth of that (lunation, as a moral force in the church and com munity of Norwalk, or as an encouragement to the hearts and bands of the pastor and his wife. This church was organized in 1830, composed of nine members, and since then have contributed for cbtirch, benevolent, and missionary, purpoies, the sum of $60,374. EL S. CLUIIS For these twenty-five years the. Sabbath School has had the same superintendent, G. L. Latimer, Esq., and the choir has also had the same leader— Jairus Kerman, Esq. Certainly, their turn should come next. Rev. L. C. Ford has become connected with the business department of the C. C. Herald, of Cincin nati. Rev. Samuel J. White, now of Cannonsville, Delaware co., N. Y., has received a call to the Presby terian Church of Gilbertsville, Otsego county, N. Y. We learn that he has accepted. New School Newepapeis.—The Central Chris tian Herald, of Cincinnati, says there are but three weekly newspapers in the country that really sympa thize with the New School Presbyterian Church— the New York Evangelist, the American Presbyterian, Philadelphia, and the Herald. •- Tho aggregate circulation 'of these three papers, in, a membership of one hundred and forty thousand, is only twenty-five thousand, whereas it ought to be at least fifty thousand. Deserved Complimep.t.---The Rochester Univer sity, a Baptist institution, has conferred the lionorary degree of-D. D. upon Rev. Edwin S. Wright, of Fre donia, N. Y. All who are acquainted with Mr. Wright must feel that in this mark of regard, our Baptist brethren have made a selection among our ministers, whidh it would have been difficult for ourselves to improve upon. 4 . Rev. Reuben Lowne, missionary of the 0. S. Board to Chint, and son of Rev. Walter Lowrie, se nior Secretary of the Board, died April 26th, at Shanghai. 'This is the second son which the afflicted father has been called by Providence to sacrifice to the cause of Missions in China, the first, Rev. Walter M;Lowile; having periehed by the hands of pirates in the China Sea in 1847. ' Trio other young men connected with China Mis sions, under direction of the American Board, have ded during the past year,—Rev. Mr. Macy, and Rev. Mr. Atchison. Pother Chiniquy's People Supplied.—Notice•ii given by the Presbytery of Chicago that the wants of the colony at Kankakee are supplied, so far as, temporalities are concerned. • This is gratifying nears to the Christian public, who have been pained at the prospect of want and suffer ing, which, until recently, seemed imminent. Princeton College.—At a meeting of the Board . of Trustees, the Rev. Cyrus Dickson, D. D., of Balti more, was elected a Trustee of the college. The Rev: Joshua Hall Meilvaine, D. D., of Rochester, N. Y., Was elected Professor of. Belles-Lettres, to fill the va cancy occasioned by the death of Professor M. B. Hope. The Board also created a new Professorship, to be called the Professorship of the English Language and Literature, and elected the' Reverend Robinson P. Dunn, of Brown University, to fill the chair. At a Convention of the Elders and ,Deacons be longing to the Harmony 0, S. Presbytery, in South Carolina, held June 20th, among other excellent re solutions, the following was passed: That deacons should be well ,informed respecting the operations of the church; should have their feel ings warmly enlisted in them; should be able to pre sent motives to the,liberality of the church, and should by their exertions contribute to the success of,the Gospel at home and abroad, and to the relief of their pastor from all anxieties and embarrassments re specting his secular affairs. tiered that the Synod of Georgia, at its last, session, elected Rev. Drs. Stiles and Cunningham, Evangelists, to labor.within the bounds of that body A Georgia correspondent of . the Southern Presby terian, writes to know something of their labors, pre sent positions and plans. That paper replies : We can only say that we are as ignorant of the whereabouts and doings of the Evangelists as he seems to be. • For months we have been waiting and expecting to hear from them in some way, but thus far we have waited in vain. For aught we know, Dr. Stiles . may have gone to -his professorship in Virginia, and Dr. Cunningham finding his physical strength inadequate tosustain the labors required may have been obliged to return to his home. We hope, however, that neither of these supposi tions is correct. We are disposed to believe that the labors of the evangelists have been so arduous and incessant as to leave them neither time nor strength to furnish an account of their operations. RoVival.:—A,t.a communion held in Plain Grove bitiitA, Allegheny Pi'estCytary (0. 5.,) some months ago, twenty were received on ex'amination; and at a communion held lately, seventeen nuir%vvg received on examination; seven of these were baptizech No less than seventeen adults have been baptized in':lths ,church within a year.

Presbyterian Church.—The Banner_ot.Peace, in speaking of the last General As sembly of this church, says— Our opinion of the church was elevated. Her dig nity was sustained, her vitality was manifest, and her rising strength show - a to beholders. A chief attraction in the pleasing panorama which moved along as if touched by some guardian angel, was the appearance in our midst, and the address of Rev. Mr. McCue; delegate from the New School to our body. They could not have chosen a fitter man. Unos tentationsly he showed to us what they were doing, and bow much interest they took in our success. He assured us, in highly appropriate and most car. dinterms, of his personal sympathy, and that,of the Church : , wards our branch. He dwelt with tender emphasis onhe,great duty of union of all believers in Christ Jesus. t'Altogether, the mission was most happy and soothing tendency on both bodi':: and long will our brethren oarryjn thyir,mettiories the image of the visiting brother." ,; --- - 4111 • -'441 Total Deettioti n of the Congregational Meeting tense at Saco, Me.—On Sunday morn ing, the Bth instant, the old Congregational church in Saco was destroyed by fire. The destruction of this ancient church is indeed a serious calamity both to Saco and the whole commu- nity. On the approach to Saco from any direction this ancient building, with its lofty steeple and clock, was the first object that attracted attention. The church was erected in 1793. For a long time this edifice was regarded as the largest and most ele gant in Maine. It was ninety feet in length by fifty four in breadth, and the spite one hundred . and twenty-six feet in height. The cost was estimated at about eighteen thousand dollars. Rev. R. Grattan Guinness has returned to Ire land; and has preached.in Cork in the Atheneum to great crowds.

Nichols, pastor of the Congregational Society of Mi neapolis, Nancy, his wife, and Henry, their son, aged thirteen, Mr. A. Cleveland, brother-in-law of Mr. Nichols, and Ern erette, aged thirteen, and Ella, aged eleven, daughters of Mr. Cleveland, were drowned in Lake Calhoun, Minnesota, on the sth of July. But one little boy, aged two years, is left of the Nichols family. The party were going in to bathe, and the younger "'members getting beyond their depth, called for help, but the descent into deep water being sudden, one after another of the party were dragged in, until all but Mrs. Cleveland perished. it was a harrowing spectacle. New Domestic, Mis. Soo. in the Epis. 'Church. —A. Voluntary Society has been organized in New York for the conduct of domestic missions in the Church. Theitecorder, thefLow Church organ of the city, says— For this new society, we do invoke the earnest support of all our readers. That such a support can not be conscientiously given to 'the Domestic Com mittee we do solemnly believe, because -Ist. So far as the Territories are'concerned, it is exclusively party, and of the wrong party, Whoever contributes through this committee, contributes to spread, 'not merely party views, but views which evangelical men consider, conscientiously, however incorrectly, as not calculated to push the truth in its purity, or our church in her strength. ad. The rule of the Domestic Committee, giving bishops the absolute nomination of all missionaries w thin their-bor4ers, is inConsistent with the Catho- Hefty of our communion, which Orens — the-fteld -of missions to all the elements of which our Church is legitimately composed. The Lord's Supper before Lireakfast.--We are surpriied that our Episcopal friends,.sticklers fur order ; even to the minutest points ,of'public service, should allow the following Troposition of the alumni 'of the General Theological Seminary to pass without serious animadversions:. "This resolution looks to the arrangement of an early service, with celebration of the Holy Eucharist and an ensuing breakfast, of which the Alumni may partake together." Bishap Delancey's Offer.—Last week the Epis copal papers reported Bishop. Delancey's offer to the General Theological Seminary as including both ten thousand dollars and ten acres of land in Westchester county. They now state that the bishop's offer was not ten thousand dollars, but only the ten acres of land on a farm in Westchester county, within twenty miles of New York, the value of which would obviously be very greatly enhanced by the removal of the Semi nary to the premises. Minnesota P. E. Convention.—A commendable interest in the spiritual condition of the Indian tribes in that.district of country was manifested in the re cent meeting of the Convention in Minnenpolis. The Bishop read letters he had just received from Bad. Boy and Grand Medicine, a principal chief and a high priest among the Chippewas, expressing their conviction of the truth of the white man's reli gion, and their desire to have it taught to them and their people. He then introduced the Rev. John Johnson, (En niegahbowh) who, without embarrassment, in a few simple, earnest, and touphing words, told of the work of the , mission, the Macedonian cry from" the more distant bands, his love for his people, and his deter mination to consecrate his life to the work of bring. ing them to the knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus. - • The P. R Cathedral in Chicago. The long-talked been abindoned. Trinity Church, N. Y., in Court. —The Court of Appeals, for dome days past, have been listening to an argument in the famous case of the People of the State of New York versus the Corporation of Trinity Church, upon a suit to test the title of the latter to some twenty-five or thirty millions of real estate in the city of New York, known in the original grant as "the King's Farm." Mother Trinity claims that she has held this pro perty for an uninterrupted term of one hundred and fifty years, and pleads in bar of proceedings, the sta tute of limitations. The answer to this plea is that the term "person" used in that statute, does not apply to " corpora tions." This is not the first action that has been brought against the church upon the same issue, but as Tri nity has always managed to come out right side up, the result in the present case will no doubt be in her favor also, especialiy as there are nn facts ,brought against her which were not argued before. The court IS not expected to rendefa final.decision till September next. • N. P. Willis, Esq., was recently confirmed in the Episcopal Church, by the Rev. Dr. Potter, Provisional Bisho Domestic Nissions of the. Ref Dutch Church —Seventy-two churches, or nearly:one-fifth - of the 'l,denomination, have become self sustaining by aid of the. Board of Domestic Missions. - Thllssue Nade.—fille General Assembly of the 'United Presbyterian Church recently decided that it is inconsisent with their principles _to extend_ooin il munioti "ersons connected with churches rejecting their &atm 'Vet namplee. Rev. Wm_ Davidson, of Hamilton, Oh , olirministers4tlra h earfe #, holds " that the sacred Seriptir*tur Confession of 'Faith, our Catechism, and the great body of Christian churches in-all time, conspire to declare that "visible discipleahip'entitles to membership in the °lrch of God." He says, "I believe that the commission which, as a pastor, I hold from Jesus Christ, requires me to receive all such, and to fellowship them." As Mr. Davidson cannot conscientiously act in accord ance with t w ie requirements of the Assembly, will he be allow,hatill to continue a minister of the- United Churah?, - - College Record.—Tirabash College. The Com mencement Exercises were held July 11th. The ad dress to the alumni was delivered by Rey. H. L. Dickerson, of Danville, Ind.; and that to the Literary Societies by Rev. F. S. M'Cabe, of Peru. There were six speakers at the Commencement Exercises. The Cabinet has been enriched by the addition of more than one thousand choice specimens, repre senting the Mountain Limestone. Most of these are Crinoidea, serare, beautiful, instructive, as to make Palseontolokist's heart leap for joy at beholding them, (unless it too is petrified.) This Cabinet now furnishes, in the ji‘dgmes of eminent geologists, a better index of the ge r glagy,q , fthe Western States, than is generally to bo found in such institutions. Columbian College, Washington, D. C.—:At the re , cent commencement, the degree of was Con ferred on Rev. Wm. M`Lain of that city. Kenyon College has conferred the degree of D. D. on Rev. Kingston Goddard, lately of this city, now of Cincinnati, Ohio. Shun'leff College.—Rev. Albert Smith, of Monti cello, 111., and Rev. A. Eddy, of Bloomington, 111., received the honorary degree or D.

College of California.--The Pacific of June 14th, says: "The Trustees of the College of California, at a late meeting, elected the Rev. Isaac H. Brayton to the Professorship of Rhetoric in that institution. We understand, however, that Mr. Brayton is to re main, for the present, in charge of the Collegiate School, as be , has been during the last term. , Jefferson predicted that in a Short time every young . man in the United Stites would live and die a Unitarian. Has this reckless pr i ophecy been ful filled? So far from it that long after its utterance we have seen an association of young Tien organized, ex tending from the St. Croix to the Willamette; the de sign of which is to deepen and exd the Christian r religion; nor would the wampum elt of th is league be sent to my Unitarian or to a 7 one who would deny the plenary inspiration of the,,P.criptures.. . , trniirersalists.-L-Case of Dischitne.—ln the last number of the .&eerngn, we find fitted of.. the erec tion or commencement of three nilit , edifices, one of them being a new entrprise, in tew Hudson, Mi chigan.

IL Moore, gave so much offence by neglecting . to admi nister the communion, , by admittinfi Parker Pillsbury into his pulpit, by advertising from his desk Minstrel Concerts and Dancing Assemblies, and participating in the latter, that a:e;onsiderable amber of the So ciety withdrew, and set up public orship for them selves, claiming to be the First Unversalist Church. i v. An attempt has been made to d&hipline him, but while the charges are admitted, i i 6eipline has been refused by - the church authorities.

Distress among some-of the Ministers of =the Ilstabligbed Chureh.—A correspondent of one of our exchanges says:— " The religious public have Men startled by the publication of well authenticated facts, showing that great distress exists among some of the clergy of our State-Church. " We are made acquainted with the case of a curate, his wife and seven children, who trued for two months on bread and water; and of an ineumbent with seven children, who could only afford aiirnal food for him self and family once a week; of mother incumbent, who has eight children and one 4 " expectancy, ;with A5O a year; of numbers who tha II accept second . • , Thus it is apparent' that many Ihriolergy tif`th • wealthy Established Church of 'England are placed in a pauper condition, occupying a social position absolutely inferior to that'of vast numbers of label"- ing men. . - - " Such a state of things proves ore than the true friends of the Established Chur h wished to know.

Awri-ColvrEssioxAn MOTEMENT !AMONG ROMANIST& —A remarkable movement is in (Teraina among the Romha Catholics of 111anchester, England, as will be seen .by the following address, which has been ex tensively circulated amongst the members of, that Some Roman Catholics, holding entire the Chris tian faith so miraculously perpetuated in the Com munion of the See of St. Peter, yet deeming the of fice conferred in the Holy Sacrament of Orders to be simply ministerial, and abhorring the assumption by the minister of God of the judicial character in the Confessional, as obstructive of the free grace de signed by our Lord for sinners in His institution of the holy Sacrament of Penance, are desirous of forming, under the special invocation,` of the blessed Virgin Mary, an Associated Membership for earnest private prayer in each other's homes, that God will, of His grace, remove these, and other scandals, of man's devising, from his Holy and Immaculate Church. Seotland.—A National Bible Society was formed in Glasgow on the 9th of May, with the Duke - of Ar gyle at its head. There has been no such institution heretofore in Bible-reading Scotland, and conse quently the contributions for tbe purpose of distribu ting the Bible have been scarcely £3,000 a year. Tun REVIVAL Assnanur.—The late Scottish Free Church Assembly was justly styled in the beautiful closing language of Dr. Buchanan, the Moderator, the Revival Assembly. ti.. What a blessed thing to be ahle to give it such a name as indicative of great realities. What a change in Scotland in the last two years, especially in the last year. What stirring, tear-starting, joy-inspiring, faith-quickening, prayer-moving tidings were brought from almost every part of the land. The revivals in Scotland of 1839 were very partial; those now in 15rog,ress are increasingly general and diffusive.— . Car. Ban.. The ~Fret Church is in tbe ascendent in "Edin buigh,..and hds here a large number of churches and one of its colleges and theological seminaries, under the principalship , of Dr. Cunningham, the Mo derator of the - late Assembly, and one of the worthi est men of the body.

U. Presb. Exclusiveness in the Established Church of Sootland.—A correspondent of one of our exchanges "I have spoken of the isolation of the'Established Church of Scotland, as contrasted with .the sisterly relations - with other churches of the Free _Church. It is very pleasing to observe a movement within the Scotch Establishment for breaking in upon this ex-: elusiveness, at least at one central point: "'rho as sembly proceeded to consider an overture anent mi. nisterial 0061111 union, from the Presbytery of Glasgow praying that the portion of the fifth act of Assembly, 1799, in so far as it prohibits ministers of the Church .f Scotland admitting to their pulpits other ordained ministers, may be rescinded. The entertainment of thfs overture fur consideration was voted by 161 against 94. The Jesuits.—An affair is reported in which the clergy of Paris seem to -have leagued with that of Antwerp, for the abduction of a young heiress, a minor, and to have secured her person andher wealth to a convent in Flanders. The father of . the young lady discovered at least that his - daughter, missing ever since the.month of May of last pear, had been conveyed to Paris by two ecelesiastics, one the cure. of the Church of the Augnstines at Antwerp, the other holding a high official post in the Company of Jesus. She was installed in the convent patronised by the Jesuits, and where; having taken the veil, she still remains. • - Ecclesiastical Statistics of Germany.—Great as has been the attention bestowed upon. the science of statistics, it is but a commencement that has been made with the church statistics of Germany. We do ••-• • ' - a given period, can with.eertainty be gathered - from ;ill the diStricts of Germany. It would be still more difficult to get a view of the extent to which-they are supplied with preachers, teachers, -churches and schools, of the number of communicants and of other important facts bearing upon the moral and religious condition of the people. In Bavaria in the year 1557, ,complete statistical returns upon the condition of the Protestant Chnrch this side of the :Rhine, were laid before - the General Synod. In Prussiaoimilar returns have been made for single provincesitut a complete Work embracing _the whole of Germatdues not exist, , and we are more thoroughly acquainted with the condition of the Evangelical Churches of the United States, Great Britain and Belgium; than with that of our own country. Mission to Seamea.on the coast of Labrador. —This interesting mission, far away towards " Grecn land's icy Mountains," affords a new illustration of the providence of God, in uniting Christians of diffe rent nationalities, in labors for the spread of the gospel. A little more than a year ago, - a young man who was fitting for the Christian ministry, sailed to the coast of Labrador in a fishing vessel for the recovery Of his impaired health. While there he went on shore and found himself among a people almost entirely destitute of religious instruction. He commenced holding meetings and distributing books and tracts. His efforts were appreciated, and he was earnestly besought to preach the gospel. Returning to Montreal he made the facts known to the Canada- Foreign Society, which immediately 'resolved to aid him. While a-Mission House was being built for tim he came to his home in Massachusetts, and set himself vigorously to work in preparing for his' return. As during some ,seasons of the year numerous fishermen are there, away, from all Christian influ ences, the. American Seamen's Friend Society was applied to for co-operation, and Mr. Carpenter, the young man referred to, has been appointed to act as Chaplain to Seamen in that locality, and an appro priation made for this department of his work. The publication ,in the Sailor's,Magazine of the facts in the case, and the earnest efforts of Mr. C. in making, the mission known here, interested numerous in the enierprise, and something ,like three hundred dollars have been raised for the mission. The Ladies' Bethel Society in Newburyport has furnished a boat at an expense of sixty or seventy dollars and, in various other ways, aided in the work. „ The prayers and sympathies • of. Christians are so licited on. behalf of the newlpestablished that' the blessing of God may rest upon the young brother who has devoted himself to the self-denying work. • Remittances of fonds ; ein: be made to Rev. S. IV Hanks, 13 Cornhill, Boston. • THE SUPPLY o NATEL—Our city has been gbun• dantly supplied with water in every part during the recent bot and dry spell. The - Chief Engineer has very properlySorbidden the, profuse and idle waste of water from the fire plugs, but ihe bath-tubs, the kitchen spigkofill, and the wash-paves have not been interfered with, either by word or .by act from his departinent.. The luxury of a clean person or a clean pavement has been denied to no one. Yet to do this, has,proved no slight undertaking upon cer tain days, as Saturday and Monday. The city has used about hirty million of gallons of water each day, a quantity- equal to one hundred and twenty thousand tons, which all the railroads coming into the city could not bring us if employed in that work alone. ' . , Our citizel may imagine the degree of anxie'y felt in the Watct Department when they, learn, that to keep up t4ii'eupply, every piece of machinery in every one of the four water-wrrks belonging to the city, has been tasked to its utmost capacity night and day, Sabbath and week day. If a single piece of machinery should give way, or a single employee neg lect his duty, the results would not fail to be felt in the diminution of the supply of that element more needful at this than any other season of the year. Next year the whole labor and anxiety will be much lightened by the extension at Fairmount coming into play; but as our city continues to grow rapidly, it is a serious question whence and bow a permanent supply of water can be obtained for its future millions of inhabitants. LIBERALITY OF VIE JAPANESE. - Before leaving.. these interesting and well behaved - strangers, with a thoughtfulness and discrimination that does them great credit,.placed the sum of twenty thousand dol lars in responsible bands, to be divided among the policemen of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, in return for their services to tint Embassy. We presume, no class of men engaged in the re. .ception and escort of the No Kamis and their train more truly deserve this substantial compliment. The share wl►ich falls. to . Philadelphia is three. thousand three hundred dollars. . As the force numbers seven hundred and eleven men, and the amount due to each officer is but small; it has been proposed to convert the sum into a fund for the relief of sick and distressed policemen and their families. This would make an enduring memorial of the considerateness of these Orientals, as well as confer a.lasting lienefit upon the police themselves. 'BANDITTI &rap/al.—The road from Washington to Bladensburg is infested with an organized band'of 'robbers. Several persons, including a woman and a deaf and dumb man, have been waylaid and terri bly beaten.

This order is to .lie followed by a rigid enforcement of the laws against all private carriers or expresses in said_ portions of the city, after the Ist of August next, and of consequence, all despatch posts will from that time be abolished. TRAIL - Roins.--The City Councils recently passed an ordinance suspending temporarily the prohibition _in force against the use of steam upon our passenger railways for the purpose of allowing a trial to be made of the newly invented locomotive car. ThiS ordinance has been vetoed by the , Mayor, and the veto sustained in Council. THE JAPANESE EXPENSES.The prospects are that the bill of the Japanese in New York.will reach one hundred and fire thousand dollars. The Messrs. Leland, it is said, claim for their share-binety thou sand dollars. • THE RECRUITING &amJeg.--It seems almost incre dible, yet is none the.]ess a. fact, that of twenty thou sand persons who applied for enlistment in the -U.

Forty of the agents were sur prised and either killed or wounded. The archives were burn* TA spoils wero carried about in triumph by the populace.

IF METWIN-E IS NECESSARY . , USE BRANUPETWS PILLS. They are 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 Pills only take hold of those matters which the body, when sick, wants to evacuate. They arc 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.
