The plea is, that the Board have " transcend ed, to an alarming degree, the powers with which they are vested, as the agents of the Church.' The Presbyter, Cincinnati,, justly remarks: " The lines in our church are being drawn, and the time is at hand, when the friends of the Union and secession sympa thisers will be known in church and State, Its two distinct classes."

Moravian. Missions among the Indians.-- . Says the Moravian of Canada West : "It is surprising to witness the devout attention which the Indians pay during the meetings of the Passion Week, and I have no doubt there is seed sown which will bring forth - fruit in many an apparently barren soil. At the communion two persons were confirmed, and one woman was admitted. A year ago she led a very vain and wicked life. Although not addicted to strong drink, last November she became intoxicated; and while in that, condition her clothing took fire and was nearly all consumed on her body. Her agony was indescribable-and it seemed im possible that she should recover. But the Lord was pleased to give her time to repent and fulfill her vows, which she confesses to have been unmerited mercy. On the fol lowing Saturday, three youths were admitted into the congregation." Episcopal A Colored Bishop.—Rev.

Miscellaneous Death of a Chaplain.—Rev. James H. Schneider, Chaplain of the 2d 'colored U. S. Regiment, died at Key West, in Florida, on the 25th of April. His father is a well known missionary at Aintab, in Turkey; aiad this son, the chaplain, was born there, but was educated in this coun try, having graduated at Yale. He was familiar with the Turkish language, which may be called his native tongue, and it is an interesting fact that in his dying hours he spoke in Turkish, calling for water, which his attendants were able to understand from the signs he used.

At a meeting of the Trustees he was allowed to resign, pro bably to save the.disgrace of a summary dis missal.• The affair creates quite a sensation in P.—Chris. Times.—The Rev. Ridley Her schell, by birth a Polish Jew, and for many years a useful clergyman in London, died a few weeks ago. He was a man of very con siderable talantsand acquirements, and after his conversion to, Christienity,,was baptized in London, more than thirty years ago, and entered the Christian -ministry. He could hardly be said.lo be attached to any particu lar denomittation, but was much interested in promoting the diffusion of the Gospel, and especially among his own "kinsmen after the flesh."

(toucher of Lon don, England, has gained celebrity by preaching a sermon as his own which was preached some years since by Rev. D. P. Stone, of Boston, and was printed here. Such coincidences are remarkable, but not uncommon. Synod of the English. Presbyterian Church. This body held its annual meeting, com mencing April 18th, at New Castle-upon- Type. The retiring moderator, according to custom, after preaching a sermon, nomi nated his successor, Rev. John Fraser of Lo wiek, who was elected by acclamation. The new . .moderator pronounced a carefully pre pared' discourse , in which - he surveyed the . general condition of the Synod. Speaking of theological education he said : The ex pression "a finished education," is some times heard—an expression absurd enough, no doubt, when we remember that educa tion begins with human life, and goes on to the end of it. It shows this, however, that a certain course is expected to be gone through before education is what is called finished. In this course why should there not be included such instruction as is com municated in our Divinity halls? Others besides ministers of the Gospel should be able to give the arguments for the authen ticity and inspiration of the Bible. If such knowledge were more generally diffused, we might be spared such melancholy exhibi . tams as professed teachers of Christianity being confounded in argument by Zulu hea thens. On Presbyterian union he ejaculated: May the Lord grant that the different sec tions of the Presbyterian family who hold the Head, Christ, may speedily unite to gether, and be felt as a power for good in this highly favored kingdom of England. The thanks of the Synod to the retiring moderator, Rev. Dr. McLean, were voted. The.net day, the minister, - Rev. 'Jos. Wood and the of Plymouth, were re ceived and attached to the Presbytery of Lu‘don. It was stated that this was one of the congregations which had been fostered by the Irish Presbyterian church. The Home Mission Report showed a lack of zeal and of united effort somewhat surpris ing. Only two new fields had Veen occupied, situated in, the Presbyteries of. New Castle and Cunaberland, The receipts were about £lOOO, besides an Irigh fund of £7OO. The report on stipends—ministers' salaries—stat ed that the minimum of salary was fixed at £lOO, and that £l5O should be aimed at. To show the, great 'extent of the Home Mis sionary work before the Synod, it was stated that there were twenty-four counties without a single Presbyterian church ; fifty towns, each -with a population of 'between 20,000 and 50,000 souls, and twelve towns, each having a population of between 50,000 and 100,000, in not one of which was there a single congregation representative of or thodox Presbyterianism. It was also stated by one of the speakers (who thought the Free Church of Scotland and the Irish Church_should aid the English Synod in this work) tharTrThe population.of_En€l. , d-had been,increased during the ten yearihy 40,000 Scotch residents, 4,000 every year ad ded to the population of the country from Scotland alone, not to speak of all the Pres byterians who had come from the North of Ireland; and yet neither of these two Churches ever dreamt hitherto of making it part and ; parcel of their duty to follow after their own children with the means of grate, in accordance with the customs of their fa thers and the conviction of their own con ,2 science. , Other sPeakers did'not approve of- - this policy of looking abroad, for increase or for help. Dr. McCrie said : " He did not like anything like a return to the old policy that was pursued in former times, when the great object seemed to be only to provide for Scotchmen who might come over to Eng land to prosecute their own, business and to follow out their own interests, hitt' who car ried with them- naturally a liking for the institutions of Scotland,,and who wished to have a Scotch minister to officiate to them. He thought they ought to keep in view that the first,and main duty of the Presbyterian Church - in England was to minister to the wants of Englishmen.' It was, however Re solved that the deputations to be this year sent to the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, to the General Assem bly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, be instructed to bring before these venerable Courts what this Church regarded as their duty to such of their members as have set tled in England. During this discussion, Dr. Munro, of Manchester, remarked that if some plan was not -adopted for the increase of the stipends of the ministry, they might depend upon it that they would not get highly qualified ministers to minister to the next generation. The openings for young men of talent, of education, and of attain ment, were now so numerous, that the Church must bestir herself in thi& Mattei;- and do something of a practical nature to meet the evil that must result from an un derpaid ministry. If they did not adopt Something of this kind, it would be just like, a squirrel in a wheel—always going round and round and making no progress. Rev. Dr. Hamilton read the report on Foreign Missions. The, missions are in China and India, chiefly in the former country, where they are 'very flourishing, We gave_our readers an account, recently, Of the outwardconVersion of a whble village in the mission field near Amoy, which had never previously been visited- by a--foreign Missionary. One of the missionaries, " Mr. Burns' is. at Pekin. - Ile is the first -Protest ant missionary who has preached in the streets of the Chinese capital, and from in formation which he has been able to lay before Her Majesty's representative there, - we trust that the same efficient protection will be henceforward extended to Protestant converts which those of- the Romish persua sion enjoy."- The, mission at, Amoy, has united with-that of the'Americin Reformed Dutch Church (formerly connected with the American Board), and formed a Presbytery independent of home connection. This is not noticed in Dr. 11.!.s report, though the action of the Duteli('Amerioan) missionaries has been received with marks of displeasure at home. There are eight missionaries, - about eighteennative helpers, five churches, and about 150 church_rneralciprs.

In India we have a native missionary, but no European. Mission premises are-proba bly in course of erection in Rajsha ; the funds, £l2OO, hating been provided chiefly by a private friend. Dr. H. trays "The Goverrrment connexion with' idolatry has ceased, and we have now as Governor-General Of India, one who has laid down as the principle by which he is guided, Christian things done in a Christian way will never Clienate,the heathen, and having endeaVored aoiely to ascertain what is' our Christian duty, Foreign we should follow it out to the uttermost, undeterred by any consideration." Rev. W. Chalmers moved the adoption of the report. Rev. Dr. Stewart, in seconding the adoption, made an address, in which he gave the following statistics: "In 1856 the members of all churches in China, in the district round Amoy, was 345, of whom 300 had been converted to the knowledge of the truth since 1854. 'And so there began this remarkable outpouring of God's Spirit, which had never ceased since. In 1858 there were above 400 members of all denominations ; in 1861, about 600;.,.and in 1862, 650. In the Presbyterian missions you have, in the year '1862, 355 members ; in 1863, 407 ; and in 1864, 450." The report of the "College Committee" showed that there were fifteen' students of divinity under the care of the Synod. The Committee speak of the lack of candidates for the ministry: "This committee does not now undertake to say why the.numbers. of those who seek to serve God in the ministry of His Son are so greatly lacking, or by what means this lack of service is most likely to be i supplied. These are grave questions, into which it seems to be the immediate duty of our own Churches to look. But the committee does feel bound to submit, that the experience of the last twenty years shows that the supply of students contem plating the office of the ministry is at this moment seriously pressing itself on the best consideration of the Synod." There has been great difficulty in support ing the institution' hitherto, the contribu tions of the churches being barely adequate to its necessities. The total revenue for the year was £lO6O. For an endowment fund, over three thousand pounds had been sub scribed before the death Of Mr. Brownley revealed his munificent bequest. There is apparently a very considerable dimintition of the amount to be realized (M 5,000), in comparison with the amount expected (1'47,000). This cannot be made available for sorne„months ; hence the usual Novem ber collections by the churches would be necessary, df s ter which it was expected they might cease, Of Mr. Brovvnley's gift the committee say : "It comes from one who knew the college well, who watched its progress from the first with intelligent , and unabated interest, who cheerfully gave his counsel and assistance to its committee for nearly twenty years, until growing infirmity put that beyond his power in autumn last, who spent his substance largely in the erection of 'Presbyterian churches in the metropolis—three of the churches there, Carlton-hill, Caledonian-road and Harrow road Churches having , been built almost entirely at his expense, whose whole life of fourscore years and ten was associated with the cause of Presbyterianism in England, and whose heart was known to be earnestly , set on the preaching of a pure. Gospel, through the instrumentality of this Church, both at home and abroad? In the discussion which followed, it was suggeste - d, that Cambridge or Oxford would be a more suitable place for the college than London. Dr. Hamilton replied to this sug gestion in a manner savoring somewhat of illiberality, and expressing a fear of the contaminating influence of the great univer sities upon Presbyterian candidates that may be well-founded, but that to us, in America, where Presbyterian and Congrega tional influences are in the ascendancy among our 'educational institutions, sounds paradoxical. "He was not sure that, tempt ed by fellowship and such things, many of the,m.4cmkt-not_lave_inducements _ to_ con form .to another Church ; and we did not know that it was right to put students in the position of encountering such temptations. SOruk of them might feel the genius of the place, and go worship under the resounding vaults ::of % Christ's Church, and under the shadow of a thousand years." His remarks on the need of candidates to hear the best living preachers were, however, much to the point. He said : "The real reason why he" preferred: London to Oxford and Cambridge - was this, that the best part of the education for a candidate for the min istry was the hearing of the best ministers ; and; without arrogating too .much, it, might be 'expected that in 'a citY Of - three millions of people there would be the best samples of preaching—that in the metropOlis of England there would be the kind of preaching that suited England best. The congregations of London did not monopolize the talent of the country; by no means; but they contained popular preachers, certainly, in greater num bers than either Oxford or Cambridge. In London their students went to hear men like Henry Melville, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Moir, and all the popular ministers of the Church of England from time to time, and to Newman Hall, Spurgeon, and all those who preached so as to suit the great rnassea of the English people. , To hear theSe grand specimens of preaching was one of the great advantages of a theological college being located in a large town. He would rather send the student? College to - Manchester or Liverpool, than send it to Oxford or Cam bridge. He would have more hope of students gettinc , specimens in the pulpit of thepreaching they ought , te nxiitate, rather than listening to those hurdy-gurdy Barn pton lectures—('Hear,hear,' and laughter,) those high and dry discourses in which there was so much Latin with the English, or the English itself was such, that if they did not know both languages they could not make them out. Now, really, for the best speci mens of English they must go to their great towns ; and if their friends in LanCashire. would like a college amongst theniselves, - it Was a question. Whether they might not flit to Manchester or Liverpool, but-by all means let them, eschew Oxford, even though it did not lie on the road to Rome."

Dr. Jenkins, late of Calvary Church in this city-, was re,ceivecl into niembership of the ,Synod being intrOduced and warmly recom mended by Dr. Hamilton and Mr. Ballan tyne. In reply, to the ,welcome extended by the moderator aim:ll-ethers, = Dr.- said "He was almost overwhelmed at the too kind expressions which had been used by his brethren. He rejoiced to observe the elements Of success whioli lie hid witnessed amongst them, and he would remind them, for their encouragement, that wherever Presbyterianism had been planted, in what he might.call Anglo-Saxon ground, Presby terianism had greatl,y flourished. He could - not but thank God for, the work which was before them in the present condition of re r ligioas opinion in England. As something had been said about his late charge, perhaps his views of Church extension- would go be yond, some of his brethren. His congrega tion in Philadelphia during the-last ten years NO' raised funds each year to an ex tent of about £BOOO, so that he came with very large views." (Hear, and a laugh.) A: Report on Temperance was expected, but the chairman of the Committee;. Rev. Dr.' Mackenzie, being indisposed, none was forthcoming:" ' The Committee was dis cliaiged, and - the *hole subjeot was assigned to the Committee on. the.state of. religion. fudging from Dr: Altinio's remarks in sea -1 bnding, the motion; the Synod must be. a most intensely "conservative" body, or made up of men noways inclined to total abstinence principles. He said, " they could do a great deal with the aid of their good people in promoting temperate habits amongst the community. He did not think that any such question as temperance should come in and be made the matter of direct action in the Synod. Many semi-political questions might with equal propriety be in troduced into this court as this of temper ance. The court should endeavor at all times to have nothing to do with questions directly, unless they be directly ecclesiasti cal or religious." Deputeion from the Free Church of Scotland. Probably the most interesting exercises were those connected with the reception of the deputations from sister churches. The Rev. Sir H. Moncrieff, Rev. W. Wilson, of Dundee,- Lieutenant-Colonel Davidson, of Woodcroft, were.introduced by the Rev. Dr. Munro, as the deputation from the Free Church of Scotland. We quote a number of passages from Sir H. Moncrieff's address, which are highly important as bearing upon the position of Presbyterian bodies in Eng land, in view of the probable union between those in Scotland. Sir Henry was "con vinced that he was stating what would ex press the mind of the whole Free Church of Scotland, when he said that the Chureh would' never consent to any incorporative union with their United Presbyterian breth ren that would leave the English Presbyte rian Church in a less intimate relation to them than would be obtained by those min isters and congregations in England, who now formed part of the United Presbyte rian Church (applause.) It we do ever (con tinued Sir Henry) enter into an incorporat ed union with the United Presbyterian Church in England, we will at the same time enter into the same with the Church whose Synod lam now addressing. We can never agree to desert this Church, or to leave her in a disadvantageous position, whatever may be the result of our negotia tions with other parties (applause.) lam afraid that the bringing up of the question of the relationship between the Presbyteri ans in England and in Scotland, has arisen very much from the notion that this union will go on faster than it is likely to do.' I have no desire to retard it, but I was tho roughly convinced from the commencement ---strongly in favor of union as I am, and having a pretty firm persuasion that it will come about—L am thoroughly convinced that it must be a work of slow progress, a work that can't be brought about per saltum." Rev. Dr. MeCrie of the Synod in moving a vote of welcome said he had never heard Sir H. acquit himself so 'eloquently as-he had done to-night. With regard to the sub ject of union on which he had dwelt, he (Dr. McC.) would not, in the prospect of the discussion before them, say more at present than that they must all feel indebted to Sir Henry for having expressed, with such frank and manly freedom, his views and feelings on the question, which, no doubt, reflected those of the great body of his brethren, and for the good spirit in which he had referred to the friendly and fraternal relation be tween his Church and our own.

Prom Rev. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the Ency clopcedia of _Religious Knowledge: Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingra clients and effects; I yet know of no sufficient reasons why_ a man. may not testify to the benefits he believes himself to havereceived from any simple preparation( in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they' were chiefly an alco holic mixture. am indebted . to my ; friend, Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper, tests, and for encouragement to try them;When suffering from great and long continued debility." The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present year, was folloived by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which .1 had not felt for six months before, and had almost P despaired.oregaining„ T therefore thank. God and my , friend for directing me to the use of them. Phi/aila.,./uns 23,1861. J. NEWTON BROWN. PARTICULAR NOTICE.
