RELIGIOUS WORLD ABROAD.^MONTHLY VIEW. afIEAT BfttTXlN. The Bishop of London is taking told of the great and pressing question of ch.urch extension and home missions igenomlly amongst the masses of his groqt diocese, with great energy. He has issued a pastoral address i to the laity of the diocese of London, calling upon them for their sympathy and .help In a' great,efifprt which ho proposes to make with this view. As the result of a conference iwith a large number ,of land owners and employers in the metropolis, the Bishop proposes .jiat the , sum of on*: mH iiou pounds sterling should baraised during the next ten years ,to ; meet spMtnal wants, of tbo diocese. How this vast sum.,ls ,hn ployed, the Bishop explains in bis pastoral s “It is my desire,” he sqys; “ that our scheme, be, qq clastic ns possiblo,' We;nood,a.great : addition both of clerical and lay agency: we need to in crease the miserably po'brendb'Wnfonte pfinkny of our incumbents: to plaiit missionary eutateS 1 amidst our dense populations, supplying thohi/ if possiblo, at ■ onc’O : *'&nitable : from which the influence, of a'ChffitiSh 5 hotter may radiate through ffabli diStrief: #b : shall quire to build many schoolrooms, cHapCls and' churches.

The coiptiyJPbr.tbe first day?s a very uninteresting appearance. No fences, no barns, few'cdmfOrtablq-lookih’gliotises. The fields were as’barren as" though they had just bedn ploughed. The-trees were scarce •titute of foliage. Every thing indicated that the active and industrious, though poor. The dwelling bouses were mostly built of mud for 15 or, 20 miles. During the trip we saw almost,all .varieties and methods of locomotion or, transportation common ,in northern . China. We met carts drawn by two mules, or by a mule and an ass, ’or a mule ( and two asses, pen riding,on,,horse r . back, op mule-back and on dpnkej-hack, wheel harrows made for *thq'accommodation of goqds or passengers. , Wo saw a large wheel-barrow, so heavily laden that-while jta-equired, only one man to steer it from behind, two..more; were employed, one on.eaeh jside, to.steady and force it along, while A.feurth pan wes- engaged in driving two, mules and one ass, wbiphwcre tied to, the front. . I onpe saw ,a wheel-barrow pro pelled by" a man behmdl.it, jaided-by,an, which was attached to the vehicle iby a. long rojjje.in front. On fee wheel-barrow were tjyo Chinese passengers and their luggage, one a weUrdressed and (ine-iooking, pprt.ly gentleman, deliberately, whiffing the smoke from a long pipe as they were wheeled along about as fast as a man ordinarily walks. Near Peking we saw a. large number of open carts,rso -beayily laden with .'grain and other productions of. the country, as to require nine strong mules to. drag them along, all. of which, except oneyplaced be tween the shafts to guide ifewere attached by separate ropes to fee. cart itself. They were driven three abreast. , ■ The sfccpnd night wo sphnt at Tung ehau, distant ten injles from . Peking, where, we left a large box of b,ooks-in charge-of sanative, helper cqnnccted with fee North. China Mission, of , fee Amprieeh Board., At different places along, the we had circulated a score ,or two of a tract.on the Emls of Opiwni SmoM%g,. which were greedily received by those to whom we gave .them. It is a deplorable fact that fee victims of the habit of opium-taking are vpry numerous in this,remote part of the empire, and feat their number is fast increasing. Our muleteer was employed by the English, two and a half years ago, during, the march of the Allies (French and English) to Peking, to drive - a cart. He enlivened the tedium of our way by occasionally rearing to the fights' which took place, anil by describing the con sternation and discomfiture of the Tartar cav alry when attacked by the cannon of the allied forces. As we passed along very near the battle field, near Chang Kea Mang, he .pomted out the different positions of the. combatants.. Ho said lie was not far off with, his .cart, at .that time, r , hut felt no fear, notwithstanding the great disparity between the nunfoers,engaged, the Chinese or Tartar, troops being vastly more numerous than the .Allies. ~ ...,.... .

He has considerable encouragement in his labors, having already baptized three children., He expects to remove, this Spring to Peking, from Tientsin, and to be' permanently located there. As, however, these, services ai’e'connected with the hospital, which is carried on oh premises belonging, to tHe Eng lish Legation,' there is but little fear that the Chinese. Government will complain; and it ghohid be 'added'that they do not help to settle the (piestibn whether missionary labors by mis-, sionarieS in their proper, character will be tole rated by the native Government. Dr. Lock hart does not practice the healing art as amis sionary, that is, his place was obtained there as 0 physician, not as a missionary. Mr. Edkins’ presence and labors there as a Christian mis sionary do. not' become officially known to the' Chipese, because ihe‘Jives with Dr. Lockhart oh‘the premises allotted to.him as a hospital. * Dev. Mr. Scheresehevsky, pf the American Episcopal Mission Society, has been living at Peking since last July, not as’ an 'active mis sionary, but as interpreter to the American Le gation. He performs no direct missionary work. The American Board’s Mission at, has been hoping to establish.a branch •mission'at Peking; but the news contained in recent letters from the rooms at Boston has de cided "it not to try’to make the attempt to esta blish a mission there at present for want of the necessary means to work the mission. Dr. S. Wells Williams and family are ex pected soon to remove from the South of China to Peking to reside, , Hev, W. A. P. Martin, of the O. S. Presbyterian Board of hlissions, is also shortly expected there as a resident. Let not the friends of. Missions, to the Chi nese be discouraged fts rtgards the opening of Peking. Let them rather abound in prayers, that the existing obstacles be removed,, and. that the will of the Lord, not the,will of man, be done.
