EplaoopdL— A <* ChurchOongress,”or voluntary meeting of clerical and 1m .members of the Church of England, has been held annually, we believe, of late yews The meeting 'year teek place in Lancashire, in October. Its-deoided ‘Hight/hiireh character has beda generally remarked. The Lon don W«Jdg Beoteto says: “Itilfis very evident tvbo are the men, and what the opinions, which *fe in fluential in theChutchofEngland, andareshaping her future. It was mgnifleanti that the eager aha earned men, the men who expressed clear and de cided convictions on all the subjects debated, and who above all have an intense and unquestioning faith that the Prelate Church 16 the only Church of Christ in the world, were the High Church party. The papers read were almost without ex ception contributed, by High Churchmen, and in all the dismissions they wete the most prominent. The Evangelicals were nowhere; and those of them who took part in the disenssion were thoroughly cowed, ana dared not —it least ' they did hot —ho- nestly and boldly avow the-principles which distin guish. thorn as a party in the Church, or manfully battle for them. This was one of the most notable features of the Congress. The High Churchmen had it all.their own way- The Evangelicals shirked the debates; and, more extraordinary still, in the papers contributed by prominent Evangelical!, the distinctive religious truths, .which we were wont to regard as characteristic of the party, were. ig nored.” Canon Stanley, the Broad Churchman, having de clined the Archbishopric of Dublin, lately, occupied ter the distinguished Whathly, recently deceased, Dean Trench, of Westminster, a fkr more Evange lical man, and an eminent Biblical scholar, re ceived and accepted the appointment.

The left wing, under General Warren, came upon the enemy, who was found to he in stronger numbers and position than was antici pated, and .further instruction*.were consequently asked for.,. Thereupon, .the forward .-movement was Checked, and all further firing ceased. >At a council of war held the'same nightj’the fact was .demonstrated .that, the-enemy was. intrenched behind very formidable breastworks, which they were every m'blrient Strengthening.

Great Britain.—Speaking of the late demonstra tions in connection with Mr. Beecher’s speeches in England, the Londoq Weekly Review suys: , . “Undoubtedly the effect of sufeh a demonstration must be to strengthen the; hands of,the Ministry in their policy of absolute neutrality, and in the course they have adopted of stopping the steam-rams.' It will tend materially also to inform the better prirtibn of-the American people of the real sentiments which are entertained for them, on this' side of the .water. In . England there are two classes, just, as there are in Aiherica—one bold, blatant, and rowdy, which has no sympathy to Spare forineri who have strug gled, as Beecher has for a quarter of a century; to shield the slave and break his fetters; and another, which welcomes him with-open arms for his work’s sake,.arid sympathises with that party in the rebel lion which is practically working out the great pro lem of emancipation. The latter party has ‘ever proved itself strongest in the’ conflicts of. the past. It embraces the educated, thinking, and religious. portions of all classes; and although they may. have, on various questions, to struggle Hard for a time for supremacy, they are sure to succeed in the end.

Every Psalm, and in many of the longer ones, the portions ’of them suitable for a service, are jrovided with a properf air; and thus the book may be used n the pew, the lecture room, or in the family, as well as by a precentor or leader. We commend this, very useful volume, as one that deserves to be widely known, »-—From the Pre*tiy+ terian Standard of> s Philadelphia.

So far ad wehave had time to examine the work, it is entirely successful in that important particu-, lar.”—From ihe Presbyterian Witnettf Cincinnati. “•;! “In our last s number, we prpmised to notice this work more fully, after, having time to examine it particularly. This opportunity we have now had': and. our judgment'ia, that the. work is as ne»r perfection in its designand accom plishment, as can reasonably beexpected. We were present ■on invitation ofMr.KeyB,at his own house in this city, to hear some specimens ,of, of the musio tothe several Psalms or parte of Psalms. Several precentors and professional singers were piesent. A large number.of the > psalms were sung to the music adapted to them; and, we are :Xree to say, that we never-heard the Psalms so well-sung. - In every case the. music appeared to be well suited to the senti ment of the Psalm; and,'in many instances, there was a' beauty, grandeur, and expressiveness in the music connected with the words appropriated to it. such na' we never heard. We ar© now satisfied that thiaboofcsupplies a want that has long been felt by the Psalm-singing, churches; and if it shall be generally used and its advantages'l m pi*o ved by them; the necessity for a new,, version of the Psalms will. not. jbe bo deeply m Many of the blemishes in the - present version would almost disappear, if the Psalms were sung kb they might be.”— From. the Emngdiad Repb&ory and Untied Presby terian Review. * ?
