OUR OWN CHURCH
Synod of New York and New Jersey—Ex
'tux.'. Faust Tux NARRATIVE rag IB6o.—Five new
houses of worship have been erected, and several
others have been remodelled and improved, while
others have been freed from indebtedness that was
pressing on them.
Eleven licentintes have been ordained to the work
of the ministry of reconciliation, and nearly forty
candidates have received license to . preach the Gos
pel, •
The cause of Ministerial education has been sus
tained with much interest and liberality, the contri
bittions to that cause amounting to between twenty
and twenty-five thousand dollars.
The cause of temperance, it is feared, has lost
ground. It is hoped that the churches will renew
their interest in it, and endeavor to regain a true po
sition and advance.
With reference to the spiritual condition of the
churehes, the narratives all speak in a tone of thank
fulness for much good enjoyed, and at the seine time
of regret at, the absence of any special interest. All
feel still the general impulse given in tliNitet revi
val, but contrasted with the marked interest of that
time there is now an apparent coldness, and an in.
activity much to be lamented. In some cases there
has been a relaxing of Christian effort, a letting,dowo
of the tone of piety, and a yielding to worldlinetal_
that are mentioned with much eorrow.
No general revival of religion is spoken of. Yet
there have been accessions to all the churches—mid
one Presbytery (that of North River) reports that the
eneral interests of religion within its bounds have,
in many instances, been much revived, and in one
church there have been about fifty conversions. The
same Presbytery mentions a remarkable instance of
God's gracious answer to prayer, which, though it
has already appeared in some of the public papers,
may here be properly mentioned as part of our own
history. The narrative says, "Several instances of
remarkable answers to prayer we are able to report.
A few years ago a pastor, now deceased, for a long
time before his death made a number of his congre
gation the subject of special prayer. As he lay on
hie dying bed, taking from under his pillow a paper
with their names inscribed on it, he presented it to
a brother, saying, 'Could I have lived to witness their
eonversion, I could ask no more.' Of these indivi
duals, twenty-five in number, the present pastor is
able to report the conversion of every one. Other
instance's, little less remarkable, have occurred, as
suring us that God still hears prayer, and that when,
like this brother, with a full and burdened heart,
we invoke the Saviour's presence, he will be found
of us."
The various institutions connected with our branch
of the oh uroh are receiving an increasing regard, and
there is an evident advance towards a more earnest
meeting of the demands of our position.
Jurisdiction . of a Presbytery over one of its
Man-of-Union Congregational Churches.—This
subject came up at the last meeting of the Susque
hanna Synod,
"The 'verdict pwstio,' and only disturbing ele
ment of the meeting, was the jurisdiction of a Pres
bytery over one of its Congregational churches, which
denied the right of appeal to its excommunicated
members, which came before it on complaint of the
aggrieved parties, and a minority of the Presbytery.
It was decided, urianimouely, that representation
in the Judicatory implied juriediction, that the Pres
bytery had neglected its duty, and they were en
joined to hear and issue the appeal which had come
before them."
Action of Synods on Home Missions—S - nion OF
MISSOURZ.-" We would most emphatically express our
satisfmetion with the manifest. determination of our
church, as represented in the General Assembly, to
carry on the great work of Home Missions, in the
legitimate and proper use of our Church instrumen
talities. We especially express our earnest hope
that the next General Assembly will perfect our
Church arrangements for Home Missions, so that our
Presbyteries and Synods shall have the management
of the Home Missionary work in their respective
fielde, being duly encouraged and aided therein by
the Church at large, through such committee or other
agency, as the General Assembly may establish.".
SYNOD of Mionionx.—Resolved, 1. That as a Sy
nod we are of the opinion that our interest and the
interests of the North-west, generally, as respects the
work of Domestic Missions, would be likely to be
better subserved if the majority of the Assembly's
Committee were differently located, and the remain
der so distributed that the interests of the entire field
of our church would be represented in it.
2. That while, in the present state of things, the
churches in some of our Presbyteries continue to con
tribute to the funds of the American Home Mission
Society, as their members prefer, we recommend to
each of our Presbyteries the appointment of a com
mittee, whose duty it shall be to look after the desti
tutions within their bounds, and to confer with the
Assembly's Committee in respect to the appointment
and support of such Presbyterial Missionaries as may
be needed.
3. That our churches regard it as both a privilege
and a duty to contribute in aid of the Assembly's
Committee in prosecuting this necessary work, having
confidence that that committee will do the best it can
in sustaining our missionaries.
4. That our Synodical Committee be discontinued,
inasmuch as the Assembly's Committee is a sufficient
medium between the Presbyteries, whereby the
stronger can aid the weaker.
Rev. E. E. Davis has resigned his pastorship of
the congregation of Onondaga Valley, N. Y., and is
now laboring with the church at Camillus.
Rev. R. A. Avery has resigned the charge of the
congregation of Liverpool, N. Y., where he has la
bored with much acceptance and usefulness for the
pasaiveyears. He is now compelled to seek a disso
lution of his relations to them by reason of hie im
paired health.
Rev. Dr. Thompson has returned to his people of
the Second Church in Cincinnati in improved health
in consequence of his recent short tour in Europe.
Dedication at Troy, o.—On the 20th of October
a new church edifice was dedicated at this place. A
correspondent of the C. C. Herald writes:
. The building is of brick, in the plain style of ar
ohitectute, one hundred feet long by fifty-six wide,
with a, tower in front eighteen feet square, rising
about ninety feet. The audience room is fifty-three
~ seventy, with three double rows of pews, capable
seating six hundred persons.
uring the year and a half in which we have been
, upied in erecting our house of worship, the con
egation has niet in the court house, and the Lord
id not leave us without some t tkens of His presence,
, birty-two members having been added to the church
during that time, nineteen of them,npon examination.
Prayer meetings and congregations were good, and
the Sabbath school was in a very prosperous condi
tion. The church never seemed to he more united
than during this entire period. Though the heavy
burden of building a church that will cost from twelve
to fifteen thousand dollars came upon us during a
part of the great financial pressure, yet subscription
payments have been made with very considerable
promptness and good nature, unusual harmony pre
vailing from beginning to end. Indeed, this building
of our church, an en,terprise which is adapted to try
the piety of a church, and is not unfrequently a fruit
ful cause of dissent, has rather been to us a bond of
union and a means of grace.
While toe much credit for diligence and care can
not be awarded to our excellent Building Committee,
we feel under special obligation to the ladies of the
church and congregation, who, by a self-denial and
industry beyond all praise, raised through their Mite
Society nearly one thousand two hundred dollars—
with which they have furnished the house very hand
somely.
Last Sabbath, in spite of a very rainy day, a large
audience assembled to take part in the interesting
services. Rev. S. G. Speer, of Dayton, preached no
admirable discourse from Gen. xxviii. 17—" This is
none other but the house of God—this is the gate of
heaven," in which he enforced the duty of filling the
house just built with hearers, and securing their con
version,

Rev. Dr. Newell, pastor of the Allen street church,
New York, in leading the Fulton street meeting one
day, last week, remarked, that last-spring he came
into this meeting and requested prayer for the revi
val of religion in his church. He had come there on
that occasion to bear hie testimony to the fact that
from that very time be began to see tokens of the Di
vine presence. The church was aroused to a spirit
of supplication, and sinners began to be awakened.
Among the first converted was a gentleman his wife,
and four children, all of whom bad joined the church.
Then an English infidel and his Roman Catholic wife
were converted. how the infidel got there, he did
not know, and he did not know himself. The first
time he came he shook like an aspen leaf, and he did
not know what was the matter with him. But at
length he began to realize that it was the strivings
of the Holy Spirit: now that infidel and his Catholic
wife were converted, and both have made a public
profession of their faith in Jesus Christ. This work
of Divine grace has gone steadily on, and about forty
have been made the hopeful subjects of it. The work
is still in progress.

The Great Pieture.—The great picture of the
General Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church
South, engraved by Buttree, New York city, at the
expense of Mr. Smithson, the Washington banker, is
at last completed. It contains on one sheet portraits
of all the bishops and members of the General con
ference of the Church South, 1858. It is spoken of
as well executed. Price, ten dollars, the proceeds,
above the cost of engraving, to go to building the
Metropolitan Church, Washington City, to which
Mr. Peeler, the plow-man, recently donated twenty
five. thousand dollars.
"The Methodist" has an article, with the rather
singular caption of the 'lntellectual Influences of Me
thodism,' in which occurs the following, which will
sound extraordinary to Puritan ears:
"If Methodism did not originate Puritanic modes of
thought and feeling, it certainly seized all that was
best in them when they were decaying, and set them
forth before men in a more genial and catholic spi
rit, enlarged their activity, multiplied their adapta
tions, and consummated their power. Had it not
been for the revival of religion under the Wesleys and
Whitefleld, the world of to-day, even as a world and
on worldly grounds, would n it have had that ener
getic civilization, that well-braced form of society,
which so pre-eminently distinguish the Anglo-Saxon
race."
Puritanism "decaying" at the time of Whitfield
and the Weeleye I Certainly not in this country, as
the settlement of New England, New York, and the
great North West, abundantly show. And where in
the world do "the energetic civilization and well
braced form of society which pre-eminently distin
guish the Anglo-Saxon race," show themselves in
such a marked and overwhelming manner as in those
very sections of country? Or, does 'the Methodist'
intend to be understood as claiming for Methodism
the work of settling those sections, and of giving the
proofs of energy and social solidity which they pre
sent? Puritanism decoying! Methodism seizing all
that was best in its modes of thought and feeling!

Spiritual Hunger.—lf God had not said, "Bless

could keep weak Christians from sinking in despair.
Many times, all I can do is to complain that I want
Him, and wish to recover Him.
SYRIA
The correspondent of the World writes from Bei
rut under datesof Sept. 22d and 27th. We give ex
tracts from his letter:
TRIAL OF THE DRUSE CHIEFS.
Already the Druse chiefs of Lebanon to the num
ber of 35 have been summoned for trial to Beirut.
Twelve only have come, who represent nearly all of
the leading families among the Druses.
Fuad Pasha's proclamation is, in substance, as fol
lows:
"The chiefs who refuse to obey the summons to
appear in Beirut, are deprived of their rank; all
their estates and personal property revert to the go-
vernment; the provincial government has fallen from
their, hands; judgment shall be pronounced on the '
absentees without delay, and when they are arrested
they shall be punished. But those who give them
selves up voluntarily to trial by the government, will
be allowed to justify themselves, either by a sufficient
excuse or by proving their innocence. '1 hose not ex
cused shall be protected in life and - property, - and
those who have protected Christians during the out-.
break, shall receive open notice and honor. The
office of Kahn Makam (governor of the Druses,) is
divided for the time being, into four departments
Under four officers of government, each having a suf
ficient quota of imperial soldiers for the 'security of
the Christians, their restoration to their homes and
the protection of, all the people." •
This proclamation shows plainly that Druse power
is at an end, as we supposed when the war com
menced.
Another proclamation has this moment been.placed
in my hands. It is addressed by Fuad Pasha to the
Christian refugees, sufferers in the late war. With
out 'translating it verbatim for your readers, I will
state the substance of it in a few words :
"It is universally known that the Sultan was filled,
with the most profound sorrow and compassion when,
he heard of the dire calamities whioh befell his
Christian subjects, whose rights, in law and equity,
are equal to those of all others; and it was his most
earnest wish that the offending and guilty parties
should,be punished at once, and the country he paci
fied, and the Christians restored to their homes; but
the grave occurrences in Damascus, requiring imme
diate attention for the restoration of order in that city,
have delayed his majesty's government until the pre
sent time, and prevented the pacification of Lebanon.
But now we are prepared to enter the mountain, with
the intention of punishing all the guilty parties,
giving redress to the injured, and restoration to those
who have been plundered, and restoring the scattered
people to their homes. We shall do what is possible
for the rebuilding of the destroyed houies, and the :
settlement of the people."
In Abeih, the Druses have deposited their goods
for safe keeping with the Christians, and the greater
part of them are running to escape from the hands of
the government. •
NEWS FROM DAMASCUS
The news from .Damascus is that there is general
•seeurity, but the Christians who are li;ting in the
Moslem houses forcibly vacated for them, are sub
jected to continual annoyance. Their supply of
water is cut off insulted , they are in the streets, and
although Fund Pasha has issued a strong prochttna
tion to the Damascenes now in Beirut, ordering them
o return before the 30th of this month, as after that
Amtrirait grtfanterian and 6tutott grangtliot.
time they will receive their daily rations in Damascus
and not in Beirut, it is said that but very few of them
will obey the command, as they are afraid to return.
Who can blame them, after what they have witnessed
and experienced? And the same may he said of the
I)6r-el-Komr widows and orphans. When told by
Fund Pasha that they must go home, and live for the
present in the palace of B'teddin, and attend to the
burial of their dead (I), they replied, " How can we
bury our dead? Where are our dead? They are
scattered through the ruins. Their bones are piled
in' the streets; the dogs have carried them off, and
we cannot endure to look upon them, should they
be brought to us. Let others bury them from our
sight!
How can we again trust the Moslems and govern
ment of. Damascus? How can we see the blood of
oar brethren on the walls and stones, and their bones
in the streets and houses? How can we look in the
face of the murderers of our fathers, brothers, sobs,
relatives, priests and Christian brethren? How can
we live with those who outraged our women, and de
stroyed our houses, our churches and our qUarter?
How can we stay here when we see that the Mos
lems are enraged against us because of the punish
ment, and because their houses are given to us, and
say that a day of vengeance will come when Fund
Pasha goes, and that next time , they will spare neither
man nor woman?"
Later intelligence speaks of great mortality in
Damascus. The correspondent, under date of Sept.
27th, says:
The mortality is great and increasing. They have
neither medical help nor the consolations of their re
ligion, and the terrors of a renewed massacre are con
stantly in their minds. If sickness or death continue
to increase there will soon be few Christians here to
trouble the government or any one else. I shall re
gard any attempt to force the Damascenes to return
as most tyrannical and cruel. If the villagers can
be re-established in their houses and cultivation of
their land, it is well; but the condition of the .Dama
_scenes...ia wholly diffevput. Yet there is at present
perfect security. How long ILn:illy last -I cannot
tell.
CONDITION OF THE BEIRUT REFUGEES
The Turks have done absolutely nothing for the
sanitary condition of Damascus, and even here in
Beirut the relief committee are about employing
twenty men to sweep the streets, as the government
will not do it. Yesterday we were all shocked and
amazed to hear of the increasing mortality among the
refugees in Beirut The government provided quar
ters in the quarantine grounds for about 2,500 of the
widows and orphans from Deir-el-Komr, and Ilasbe
iya, etc. Now we bear that out of 600 children who
were in that company, about 100 have died!
THE TROOPS
Fuad Pasha has gone inland with 3,000 Turkish
troops. On Tuesday, Sept. 25, the French army set
out from Beirut for Lebanon. One detachment of
2,000 went up the Damascus road to Ain Soufar,
near B'Hamdun, and another of nearly 4,000 inarched
up the old highway to Deir-el-Komr. A multitude
of- native Christians went up in .company with the
latter on their return to the vicinity of Deir-el-Komr,
and among them two young men from Deir-el-Komr,
who belonged to a party of seven "braves," of whom
five were killed in the massacre, and they two only
escaped. As they went up the mountain in advance
of the French. troops, they came upon a Druse just
below thevilliige of Ainanoob, seized him and shot
him. They found another Druse in the village,
dry
ing grapes. on a house roof, and, seizing him, drove
hin - Lbefore them beyond the village, and killed him
alsaf
"About a mile and a half beyond this - village is an
other called Ainab, where a man from Deir-el-Komr
was killed in the beginning of the war. As the Deir
people approached this village the Druses of the vil
lage fired upon them. Word was sent down the
Mountain to the French commander, who gave orders
at once for the sacking of Ainab. A letter now be
fore me written on the spot, states that the writer
"saw the French soldiers carrying off wooden doors,
windows, frames, boxes, wood, onions, squashes,
honey, olives, and old ploughs" (made of wood and
about twelve feet long,) and they left absolutely no
thing in the village that could be carried off.
The French soldiers will need the most rigid disci
pline to restrain them from annihilating the Druses
in Lebanon. The massacres in Deir-el-Komr and
Hasbeiya are fresh in their minds, and they are
wrought up to the greatest excitement, so that even
iii Beirut it was not safe for a Druse to show himself
while the French were near. 'What will it be in Le
banon, where the Druses, still remain in small num
bers, and the French are under comparatively no re
strainte
Four hundred more of the wretches arrested in Da
rafteaus arrived here on- thip-23d of Angpst_on.d.itaxe:
been sent on to Constantinople. The work of arrest
has commenced also in Sidon, and several hundred
of the criminals have 'arrived in the Beirut prison.
Among them are Shawish Effendi and many others
of the vilest and most prominent men among the Si
don Moslems.
LOSSES OF THE DAMASCUS CHRISTIANS
The losses of the Christians in Damascus are esti
mated by Fund Pasha at twenty-nine millions of pi
astres, amounting to about one million one hundred
and siaty.thousand dollars, of which he has assessed
one million dollars upon the Moslems, and the re
mainder upon the Jews, who were most seriously im
plicated in the massacre and pillage of the Christians.
THE STORIES OP THE NEW YORK OBSERVER.
'The New York Observer has lately published let
ters translated from European papers, containing de
scriptions of horrible .barbarities perpetrated upon
the Christians by the Turks in European Turkey.
Now I am in constant correspondence with no less,
than six of the principal cities in European Turkey.
I am sure that such things as are related in these
letters could not have occurred without some rumor
'of them reaching my ears. lam confident that most
of these accounts are as unfounded as the one I sent
you lately, taken from the Northern Bee of St. Peters
burg. They are made up on purpose to pervert pub
lic opinion. Turkey is bad enough as she is, why
paint her any blacker?
[This exactly accords with'our own opinion at the
time the stories, translated from Le Nord, appeared.
The Observerin its zeal to make a point of the despe
_,
rate and incurable hatred of Christianity among the
Turks, hastily took up and gave currency to tales
fabricated by persons in the interest of Russia.]
AMERICA
No American vessel of war has yet appeared. It
standing joke among English people in Beirut,
that the American government have actually ordered
the Niagara to visit Syria on her return from Japan!
And now to cap the climax, I read in a New York
paper that the Susquehanna has started for Syria
via 'Vera Cruz/ But we will not complain. We
have an efficient_ consul in Mr. Johnson, and there
are British ships enough to protect us in case of need.

The Case of Byerly The jury in the case of
William Byerly, charged with fraud in the First
Congressional district, came into court Tuesday, and
rendered a verdict of guilty. The prisoner was re
manded into custody.
It is scarcely possible to conceive of a more dan
gerous and demoralizing specimen of political fraud
than that of which the defendant in this case has
been found guilty. By the substitution of a false
return from one of our wards for the true one, the
declared result of an important election was com
pletely changed, and the certificate given to one whom
the correct returns show to have been defeated.
Dr. Wm. Alexander and Dr. Win. Young, were
arrested and taken before Mayor Henry, at the Cen
tral Station, a few days ago, on the charge of
circulating obscene and filthy publications as adver
tisements of their business. It was in evidence that
handbills of peculiarly gross character, and bearing
the name of Dr. Alexander, as the advertiser, were
enclosed in envelopes and thrown into houses and
stores of respectable citizens. We have heard of
some of them that fell into the hands of young ladies,
The defendants were required to give bail iu $l,OOO
each, to answer.
We know nothing of the merit or demerit of the
case in question; hut that the Mayor has turned his
attention to the reformation of a gratuitous literature
of a certain stamp, is creditable to himself and just
to the public. The various bookstands clustering
about the Exchange, expose for sale the rankest of
French novels, and it has become a common occur
rence to find the passenger railway cars flooded with
advertisements of quack medicines, detailing inde
cencies too vile to be tolerated. Where such things
are, let the parties who thus set propriety at naught
be brought to account.

ARRESTS
Bold Robbery at a Bank.—On the morning of
November Ist, a boy was despatched by Messrs. Eyre
& Landell, Fourth and Arch streets, to the hank of
North America, to make a deposit. The deposit con
sisted of a check for $lOOO on the Union Bank, $320
in notes of the denomination ofs2o, $lO, $5, and $125
in specie. The boy proceeded to the bank, handed
the specie over to the teller to be counted, and laid
the book containing the check and the notes down on
the counter, just at his left hand, while be prepared
a "ticket," to hand in with the deposit. While en
gaged in writing the ticket, an individual came close
up to him and asked if he knew ithere the Common
wealth Bank was, at the same ins4titt (as is supposed)
slipping the notes and the chec out of the. book.
When the boy turned with the ' ti et in his hand, the
bunk lay where he had placed r 4 ut the check for
$lOOO and the $320 in notes w gone! So, too,
was the individual who had accosts him. The $125
in specie was safe, having been ebinted by the teller
of the bank. Messrs. Eyre &LI ndell have stopped
the check on the Union Bank, an ;gave notice of the
affair to the police. They also offer a reward of $lOO
for the thief and the return of th $320.

The . Anti-Slavery Elem tlt r,
in Virginia.—A
writer in the New. York Tim s demonstrates by re
ference to the census and elee ion returns that a ma
jority of all the votes in Virg is are polled by peo
ple who mean to get rid of sl ery.if they can. They
haie not one particle of intere t iu slavery, and never
can have. The whole regio "it
I in which they live—
except the valleys between e ridges—consists of
mountain sides, admirable fO pastures, and contain
inexhaustible material for nii ng and manufactures,
but utterly unfit for negro/slarery.

he would be a rich man.
Italy.--Tut VOTE ON A. NEXATION.—The latest
news of the Patric is as follops:
Dispatches from Naples state that the Dictator's
government is exclusively occupied with measures in
relation to the plebiscite of Oct. 21. A large majo
rity in favor of annexation i• eipeeted in the towns
and central places, but it is "tired that the inhabi-
tants of the rural districts wll not take the trouble
to go to the polls, and it has • nsequently been deter
mined that official agents sln 1 collect their votes at
their houses. It is known tl t in many provinces
great efforts will be made to •aralyze the plebiscite,
and it has therefore been deeded to send troops to
assure the freedom of the vot.
Naples.—THE FEELING Ilk FAVOR OF VICTOR FM-
ISIANUEL.—On the 12th of Oc r, in consequence of the
resignations - tendered by the • ro-Dietator Pal lavicini
arid his ministers, the Natio. al. Guard went to Gari
baldi and represented to himliat disturbances were
imminent. The Dictator ors red them to fire on any
person' shouting in favor of a epublic.
1,1
The palms which were a rwards sent through
the streets were saluted wit cries of "Down with
M azz i n ir Down with. Crispi' ;
The Dictator has publislk a Proclamation ' in
which - ; after announcing the 'approaching arrival•of
Victor Emmanuel .he says: j •
" Let - us be'ready to receive the man whom Provi
dence has sent us. There will be no more discord.
Ilaly .una and King Victor; Emmanuel ga/untuomo
may be the perpetual symbdls of our regeneration."
Garibaldi is to surrender the-dictatorship, and will
receive from King Victor . Einmanuel the position of
commander-in-chief of the land and sea forces of the
United Kingdom. A largp body of .Piedmontese
troops had entered Naples./ The departure of the
Russian Embassy from Turin is announced.
_
France.-By despatches ,datea.uct. 13th, we learn
that France was strengtherfing her fortificationa, and
retaining her forces at home. The naval fleet was to
be recalled from the Mediterranean, and the depart
ure of troops to Rome wit.s.suspended.
Syria.—The French havc formed a provisional
municipality at Deir-el-Konir, and established the
Christians in houses built by their soldiers.
From Havana A
By the stearriship - stlldf-ttis•West, we receive intel
ligence of the capture of ano'ther slaver. On the 23d
of October, a vessel with foUr hundred negroes on
board was taken into Havana by a Spanish man-of
war. No particulars have reached us,
China.—THE REBELS ATTACK SHANGHAE. Although
it was not strange. for the rebills to threaten to attack
the native city of Shanghae,(whioh is protected by
foreign troops,) people were not prepared to believe
they . would actually attempt it. - However, on the
evening of the day the mailistenmerleft, (18th Aug.)
they tried to carry their threat into execution. They
first attacked the Suuth °ate, but were repulsed by
artillery, and they after Wards tried it from another
point, where they were repulsed by the French. The
suburbs were then set fire to, to drive the rebels out,
we believe", as it was supposed they were harboring .
there. It, is dif f icult to say whether the rebels could
have committed greater devastation had they taken
the place; and it is also difficult to say how far
Messrs. Bruce and Bourbolon.are to blame for placing
foreign troops to protect the native city, and thereby
bring us into collision with the rebels. The doctrines
of the rebels certainly leave a more favorable impres
sion upon the mind than we lire apt to form of the
Imperialists.
Peru.—There are symptoms of trouble between
Peru and the United States,r As far as the Lizzie
Thompson, Georgiana, and Sartoria claims were con
cerned, the ultimatum of our Government has been
rejected. It was rumored that the American minis•
ter would demand his passport, The Peruvian fri
gate Callao was sunk at the dry-dock of San Loren
zo on the 12th of October. The accident occurred
by the'staunehions of the deck giving way, causing
the vessel to reel over and sink. Over one hundred
and fifty lives were lost, including . a number of men,
women and children, who were tuck in the hospital.
The Gnilao was a forty-four-gun frigate.
Dr. Palmer, who has been 'conducting revival
services, with great success in the south of England,
is a retired physician of New York, and during the
visitation of the cholera in that city be acquired a
deserved reputation by his successful and skilful
treatment of that fearful disease. Retiring from the
active duties of his profession, Dr. Palmer,'who is
past middle age, has drebted himself, with his wife,
to promote the spread if religion.
The News.—We have late and very important
news from Europe by the steamship Prince Albert,
which arrived at St. John's, N. F., on Saturday, with
Liverpool dates to Tuesday, the 23d. The question
of annexation bad been submitted to a popular vote,
and the Neapolitans had adopted it almost unani
mously. There had been another engagement be
tween the Sarditiian and Neapolitan forces, in which
the latter had been defeated with a loss of life, and
the capture of some eight hundred prisoners. It was
also rumored that an engagement had taken place
between Garibaldi's vessels and some Austrian and
Spanish ships, the latter being captured. This state
ment wants confirmation. It is reported that imme
diately on the consolidation of the Italian. Empire,
Victor Emmanuel will offer to Garibaldi the rank of
Prince and commander-in-chief of the army.
Advices from Italy state that Garibaldi had entered
C alma.
The Emperor of France had received assurances
from the Czar of Russia that nothing hostile to
France would be entertained, at the Warsaw meet
ing.
The Emperor of Austria has introduced immense
concessions to Hungary in the new charter.

IF MEDIC/NE IS NECESSARY, USE BRANDIVETUI'S 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 e v acuate. 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 blc ised who is
so fortunate as to be acquainted with this guod and al
most perfect gift to than, because he has to a great ex

Translated from the German of John Henry Kurtz,
D. Professor of Theology at Porpat, author of "A
Manual of Sacred History," "A History of the Old Co
venant," "The Bible and Astronomy," etc.
Vol. 1., to the Reformation, now ready. Price, $1.50.
Vol. IL, to the Present Time, now. preparing.
The present edition of the "Text Book of Church His
tory," is, to some extent, a reprint of the Edinburgh
Translation. But as that translation avowedly, tam
pered with the original work, care Was been taken, in
this edition, to make the rendering conform strictly to
the author's sense.
It is proper to add that whilst the Edinburgh transla
tion was made from the third edition of the original
work, the edition now offered to the public contains all
the improvements of the fourth edition of the original,
which was published within the last three months.
The merits of this work, which the reader will please
notice, is the author's Text-Book, of Church History, are
so obvious, that they need not be pointed out in detail.
It combines lucid conciseness with full comprehensive
ness to a rare degree. And although it cannot, of course,
supply the place of some larger works on the subject,
already issued, it will tend to satisfy a great want in this
department of literature.
