D. D.— At a meeting of the Third Presbytery of New York hold Dec. 26th, the following resolutions were una nimously passed: Resolved, That Presbytery have heard with deep regret the request of the Rev. Walter Clark, D. D., for a dissolution of hie pastoral relation to the Mer cer Street Church, a relation in which he has com mended himself not only to the people foible charge, but to our whole community, as an able and faithful minister of the word. Resolved, That the circumstances which, in his judgment, have made this step necessary—resulting mainly from the northward flow of our city popula tion, in connexion with certain special causes not foreseen by him when he accepted the call of the Mercer Street Church—are clearly such as no pasto ral wisdom or ability could either preclude or con trol; and they are such, therefore, as detract not at all from the high estimate of his ministerial charac ter with which we weleomedbim among us. Resolved, That while we sympathize deeply with the Mercer Street Church in thew presenl trial, and have been especially moved by their eirreseions of attaohment to their pastor ; and while we should greatly regret to lose him from the Counsels and la bors of this Presbytery, in connexion with which we have ever found him a devoted and efficient helper, prompt to share with us our various cares and labors; we yet judge it best, in view of the whole muse, to grant his request. Rev. D. R. Bartlett, of Poughkeepsie, has de clined the call to the First Church, Buffalo. Rev. O. T. Melvin, was installed pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Columbus, 'Wisconsin, by an Ecclesiastical Council, convened for that pur pose, on Friday, December 14th. Rev. H. M.

He will labor in that city and its vicinity. Westminster College.—A Gtonrous Our Synpdical College at Fulton, Mo., has jusE been the scene of ono of the richest outpourings of God's Spirit which has cheered our heerts'for many a long day. For three weeks past, extra services have been held in the Presbyterian church, conducted by Bev, Mr. Mutohmore, from Columbia, an intense in-, tereet was awakened among the large and attentive audiences that came together night after night. to listen to the precious offers of pardon, peace and for.: giving love— , the message of mercy fell uporrwilling ears, and sunk deep into hearts already prepared by the influence of the. Spirit—Abe seed was watered by Heavenly dews of Divine Grace, and already are the reapers binding the sheaves to their bosom, and as the glorious harvest is progressing, some forty souls hove been gathered into the garner—as we hope fully trust—more than'half of whom are students at this Institution.—Presb. of our Union, Dec. 27.

Orville Gardner, the reformed pugilist, baa begun a series of Experience Meetings at his Coffee• Rooms. Here the brands plucked from the burning, meet to gether on Saturday evenings to relate their experi ence, and strengthen one another in their new reso lutions. The First Organ.—THE FIRST PEWED CHURCHES. —Tho first organ introduced into any Methodist church in the United States, , was that of the'Chestnut Street Church, Portland, Maine,' July, 1836. The event was the occasion of over a column of 'editorial comment and censure from the pen of Dr. Elliott, in the Western Christian Advocate, September 9th, 1836. Among the first Methodist churches whose pews were held as private property, were two which were opened in New York city, 1835, BAPTIST. The . Rnle•of Baptism.—Some of our Baptist ex changes, says the Evangelist, are discussing the ques tion, ' Should a Baptist minister, refuse to baptize a person who intends to unite with a Pedo-baptist church ?" The controversy sprang, we believe, from a recent case in one of the Southern States, in which a man requested a Baptist minister to baptize him, expressing at the same time his design to join the Presbyterian church. A correspondent of the Chris tian Chronicle, of Philadelphia, takes the negative side, and sustains it in the following manner: "Is not a Baptist minister• required to observe, as his rule in baptizing, the commission of the Divine Master, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature; he that believeth and is bap- tized shall be saved, but he that believeth not, shall be damned?" (Mark, xvi. 15, 16.) Here faith in the Lord Jesus Christie the qualification on the part of the'datididate. This every adminliteator should' be careful to discern. But is he at libertT to, demand more than is required , in his commission? In the baptism of the eunuch, Philip strictly adhered to his commission. On the 'request for baptism, he said,. 'lf thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest.' But he added no other condition." REFORMED DUTCH. Settling Foreign Ministers.—A writer in the Christian Intelligencer discusses a subject which has, years ago, been the theme of no little comment in the same paper, the calling of candidates and ministers of other churches to vacancies in the Dutch ChurCh. He says: " We candidly appeal to any man acquainted with the supply of our pulpit, whether nearly all the pro minent and influential positions of the ministry are not to-day occupied by other -than New Brunswick graduates. We ask any man to look into the, pulpits of the " First" churches of the cities and large towns, and see who is there; and if he finds some exceptions about New York and adjacent cities, let him inquire whether most of the strong churches now oceupied by native Dutchmen, have not been built up, from weakness to strength by the labors of their present pastors? And if we are to judge from the action of Consistories, it is a- fixed determination, an adopted ; general policy, to settle none but strangers in our larger churches. Is there a church of any conside rable prominence which has settled a New Bruns wick graduate in the last three years? Is' it not a fact patent to any man's observation, that our more obscure and feeble churches,-• and our Missionary fields, are the only places in which our own gradu ates can enter upon the work of the ministry, and pursue its sacred duties, however eminently endoWed with piety or ministerial gifts?" • Death of Dr. Van Vranken.—While preparing to put this paper to press,. .we have received intelli- Sence of the death of the much revered and. beloved enior Professor in our Theological Seminary. 'Last week Dr. Van Vranken was, prostrated by, a violent. Attack of spasmodic asthma, to which he had been of late subject. On Friday it changed into congestion of the lungs, which has resulted fatally." He expired ,between eleven and twelve o'cloplx. Tueedey the let inst.— Chr. Intelligerwer, 3d of January. EPISCOPAL. Rev. S. T. Ingraham, a clergyman of the Epis copal church, who was formerly a Rector it Mobile and recently at Holly Springs, Miss., accidentally shot himself at the latter place a few weeks since, and has died in consequence. He was well knopn in former days as the author,of "Lafitte, the Pirate," and other pinlilarlvorks, and since his conversion and Conn ' cration,to the ministry, amthe author of the "Prince of the House of David," . "The Pillar of Fire," Sm.= As a clergyman; he was esteemed for his many ge nerous qualities, and for his' devotedness to the cause of his Master. CONGREGATIONAL. Bee: T. T. Waterman has resigned the pastoral charge of the Congregational church in Danielson villa, Ct. The German Mission, of Boston, locatea on Se cond street, was organized some-eighteen years ago and has sent out during that time one thousand souls, converted emigrants, to, be as seed-plants for new societies in the East and in the West. This - church has also, been instrumental in sending out fourteen or more preachers, who are now in different parts of the Lord's vineyard, in these States and Territories, and sumo of them as foreign missionaries in Germany, in Switzerland, and Bulgaria, in Turkey. FOREIGN. Hungary.---Trrs GREAT PROTESTANT SYNOD.— The News of the Churches, for December, contains intelligence from Perth, Nov. 13th, as follows: The Protestants having, by their masculine and energetic attitude, compelled the Viennese Govern ment to withdraw the unlucky Imperial Patent of the Ist of September, 1859, have been able for the first time since 1848 to hold their great annual meet ing, at which they freely discuss the hotne•business of the Protestant. Church. They have taken advan .tage of this to protest against the any thing but up right manner in which the Government has acted. Compelled, as it has been, to withdraw the Constitu tion, which it wished to impose, as par octroi, on the Protestant Church, it has, nevertheless, maintained in some places the authorities which it instituted during the short interregnum in which it expected to be able to impose on the Hungarian populations, the chef d' ceuvre of M. Than. . Among the three and a half millions of Protes tants that Hungary numbers, there are at present but fourteen small communes preserving the organi zation patented on the Ist September, 1859. The Government makes use ef them to "sow tares,' and provoke divisions. Happily it no more succeeds than in the analogous efforts it is making to stimu late the feuds of races. . Sweden.—Contiibutiotts have been made in this country to the Waldenses, and at last accounts, a movement was in progress to procure a general col lectiomin behalf of t/te suresi44g phristiatts d u - Syria.. On the question of the observance of the entire Sab bath, great improvement is noted amid wide diversi ties of opinion. The clergy, are, by no means a unit on the subject. The Greek Church in Turki3y;—The Bishops . Of the Greek Church, in this country, do not reside in their dioceses, but in a certain`quarter etf Constanti nople 'called. the 'Fencer, near the - Patriarch:: For' four or fiie yearepast the Sultan has beciiistriying',44 make a change both in the matter of resitiepekanil in the' mode of electing-the Patriarch: After great difficulties, arising from the opposition of *the high ecciesiast•os and* probably Russia, a Mixed council was established at the patriarchate, composed of lay men- and ecclesiastics, before which all important business matters should be laid, and by them de cided. Five or six protesting bishops were dismissed from Constantinople to their own dioceses. This was a year ago. Recently an assembly was convened, at the patriarchate, for the election of a new patriarch, the members of which were partly laymen and partly ecclesiastics, according to the new rules. The names of the candidates were submitted to the Porte. who struck nut all but three. Several individuals of this assembly, had, within a few months past, been con victed before the Porte of having been guilty of bri bery and-other scandalous crimes, and, a' portion of the assembly insisted that such should not vote. This gave rise to a' most disgraceful quarrel,' in whieh eceelesitisticiti and laymeti, high and lovi, mingled in a genteel and uproariok'fight. The bishop. of D. was nearly strangled by the Arclideacoti of A., echo, in his turn lost, it is said, three-fourths of his beard, by the unsanctifled bands of a. layman, who came to the rescue of the bishop. The result of the whole was, that a man has been chosen to the office of na triardh who is doggedly determintd that no mixed council shall exist, and that no lay representative element shall be admitted into the business meetings nr.the Greek community. And, strange to say, the Porte has accepted and confirmed the election of this man! The result may be a large schism in the Greek Church. The Bulgarian portion of the - Church, having been utterly` ignored by the Sultan in the new arrangements, refuse to he represented in this assembly, and declare that they will have a patriarch of their own.

That the laws. for the sup pression of this infamous traffic have been persistent ly and grossly violated witbin this district, there was no doubt; within a month- 3 : 000 slaves had been taken from vessels fitted out at the port of Now York. The duty of the Grand Jury Was to seek out and bring all who were instrumental in fitting out these vessels, to just punishment. The laws against the slave trade were plain and explicit,and, if vigilantly and vigorously enforced, severe enough to put an end tri the traffic: "When any. Government becomes so' feeble, so indifferent, or so corrupt thnt, it will net enforce its vital. ItiNgmireb ;:ay or- revolta . tie4 hegini, and then will stiOOS ea,it .arall laws."' :,,'. am . : .

Perhaps this belief would 'be staggpred if the Southern people knew what sums of_Money our induatrial classes have snugly, put away in saving banks'for use in just such times as the pre sent. The amount on deposit in the saving institu tions of Massachusetts in the year 1859, was thirty nine million four hundred and, twenty-four-thousand four hundred and eighteen. dollars—a sum nearly equate one-half of the banking capital of the State. As the.prisent year hint, s untirtsithin a mouth or two, been 'opt* of unusualprosperity t the amount now on depOit ie,.doubtlesA, hinilh 'larger, and pr.)bably reaches forty-two or forty-three millions of dollars. When it is remembered that the same foresighted system of saving for future wants, prevails almost universally' at- the' NOrth, it will be seen that the working classes of the Islortliern States are in a con dition to withstand Along fitll at "hard times'," and do not need the SynipathAbf the South. • But, further-thew fig, we leain,'from -careful in quiry, that tho,oply branches •of manufacturing in dustry which are moretban usually depressed for the.smulon ,of the _year,. are . t,hese whiCh . man% facture for the Southern market, and : the financial-aright in that section' would have prodticed this depression ; without the complication of political troublet4 • Our •eotton-milis are now working nearly to their full cn -Tialsity.' withilie prospect' of á:demand frora the Vest for their productions, which will compensate for the loss of Southern trade.

Now we know ,notonly.that "life is in the blood," bat that disease inhabits . it also. Many of the disorders that per vade the human frame hive their home In it, thrive and grow in it. The celebrated Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, has bad regard to the important fact in making a.Remedy to cure these disorders. His Extract , of Sarsaparilla purges out the impurities of the blood and induces a healthy action in it that expels disease. This looks rea sonble, and it is true, fot we know by our •own expe rience.
