Andover: Warren F. Draper. Bvo. pp. 265!* For sale by Smith & English. Every new work in exegesis put forth by Bishop - Ellicott, is a real addition to our apparatus of Scripture interpretation. The great meagreness of the English language in original works of truly scientific charac ter in this branch of theology is now re lieved, and Ellicott has contributed largely to the choicest and most purely scientific departments of this work. For critical acu men, profound and comprehensive scholar ship, luminous brevity, sound judgment, and the best English good sense, joined with thorough regard for the sacredness of the text, he must be recognized as at the head of English and American interpreters, and as scarcely surpassed abroad. •r , Bishop ElliCott is not content even with the high degree of merit which was recog nized in his earliest books, but aims in each separate undertaking at improvement. His references to the great English theologians of the seventeenth century, in the elucida tion of the text and his researches into the originals of ancient versions,' particularly the Gothic. and Syriac, give special value to his late commentaries. Great pains have been bestowed by the author upon the re vised , translation which is placed at the close of the volume. While confessing the unripeness of the times for the production, of a new authorized English version of the Scriptures, Bishop Ellicott earnestly urges the necessity of preparing for such a work, and speaks severely- of those who would " cheat" their souls with the thought that the errors of the present version " are either insignificant or imaginary." In the celebrated passage, 1 Tim. ill. 16, Bishop Ellicott reads' 4. BUTLER. St.. Paul in Rome. Lectures de livered in the Legation of the United States of America, in Rome. By Rev. C. M. Butler, D.D., Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the [Prot. Epis.] Divinity School, Philadelphia. Philadelphia : B. Lippincott & Co. 18mo. pp. 295. This course of lectures was delivered to a shifting congregation of tourists, with the laudable purpose of connecting with their sight-seeing, the noble personage of Paul, and the great religious truths centering in his name and especially in his relations to Rollie. Commencing with the Epistle to the Romans, the author exhibits the an tagonism of the Popish pretensions and Popish doctrine to the iacts and teachings of this epistle; he then traces the history of Paul's personal relations to the city, his journey, and what led to it; his intercourse with the Jews in Rome, his liberty to preach in his own hired house; Caesar's household; then spends four lectures on Paul's position towards established cus toms and institutions; gives a chapter to Paul's second imprisonment, and closes with a lecture on the claims of the Church of Rome to sanctity, infallibility and unity, designed as a reply to the positiim taken by Archbishop Manning, in his thronged Lenten and Advent sermons to English and American hearer's in Rome. Certainly it is matter of gratification that testimony so explicit and undisguised to the pure principles of the Gospel as taught by Paul, could be borne under the Very shadow of the Vatican, by the elo quent and faithful representative of the Protestant pulpit of our country. Added to the interest the lectures gain from this fact, is that of the abundant local illustra tion - which the author is in circumstances to give to his text, and which forms an at tractive feature of the work. The picture, drawn with scholarly f'ullness and finish, of the internal condition, habits, sports, and vices of imperial Rome, is one of great in structiveness. But we regret to find Dr. Butler denying to the Church with such em phasis, reiteration, and absoluteness, any pro per direct agency in overthrowing establish edivrongs in the State and society,very much in the fashion of the Southern clergy before the rebellionit is all altered with them now. Christian prudence of course suggeits the proper time for the exercise of such agency, but when the church is universally power ful, and, in fact, leads and gives laws to civilization, her Pauls will not be found entertaining such •lamentably inadequate views of her duty and sphere of action as r' Conservative" clergy may mistakenly derive from the writings of her first.

New York : Harper & Brothers. • This work, so overflowing with manifold elements of interest and popularity, is now complete. It is not possible fairly to cha racterize the truly Christian flavor of geni ality, raciness, and originality, which dis tinguish it among books, as Dr. Beecher's life was distinguished among lives. New England, in her primitive freshness and strength, is well represented here. Great and important controversies on theological, moral, and political arenas, now dying out of memory, are here fought over again. A noble nature, a heroic, stalwart, practical Christianity, a far-seeing vision, enhanced by the gift of a most happy temperament, a vigorous and manly intellect, and a glow ing imagination, here pass, before us, in siting the reader- to imitation, and rebuking THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1865 the contented pettiness, the small philoso phising, the peevish skepticism, the dilet tanteism, and the superficial aesthetics, so fashionable in our day.

With discrimination and care, and without any mere efferves cence of patriotic feeling, the author traces the original seminal principle of our TJnion in the early colonial times, and shows how the grand idea was eliminated as an entirely novel political creation, distinct from any previous known combinations, and with the conscious rejection of those expedients in_ which rebels and rebel sympathizers pre tend our union actually consists.

A Discourse de-. livered on the day of National Thanks giving, Nov. 24,1864, by Sherman B. Can field, D.D., pastor of the Ist Presbyterian Church, Syracuse, N. Y. The following points are ably handed in this patriotic, earnest, and scholarly dis course, based on Joel 3 : 14, " multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision .'4, 1. That it is no new thing for a nation to go through a long and terrible struggle to ward off enormous evils and to gain abet ter moral and political position. 2. That God has been leading us - to decide and to decide aright, questions involving both the being and the well-being of this nation; and 3.

OBITUARY EXTRAORDINARY, Much as we dislike the practice of filling up the columns of religious papers with lengthy obituary notices, we very cheer fully copy the following from the Banver of the Covenant, 111- raising that-the church referred to is the one best known as Rev. Dr. Wylie's, on South Broad Street. DIED, January 30th, 1865. TROUBLESOME DEBT, ESQ., of the First Reformed Pres byterian Church, Philadelphia, in the 67th year of his age. Mr. Debt belonged to an ancient and wide-spread family, having a very extensive acquaintance, so that, there were few peo ple who had not more or less knowledge of him. Persons of high rank, and even members of royal families, are said to have been his intimate companions. Yet, strange to say, although his associates were so highly respectable, and it is said that great benefits were derived from him, he had very few friends, and, indeed, may be said to have been generally disliked by those who were most familiar with him. Some of his admirers have represented him as a public blessing, but, with surprising incon sistency and astonishing ingratitude, they seem not to have desired his . company, and were always glad to get rid of him. Little Debt, Esq., Mr. Manageable Debt, and Mr. Absolutely Intolerable-Debt, were all con nected with Troublesome. Mr. Heavy Burden, Mr. Hard Scraping, Mr. Con stant Anxiety, Mt. Always Borrowing, and Mr. Incubus, a deScendant of an old Roman family, were also related to Mr. Debt,-and it is believed that the Bickerings, the Quar rellings, the Discords, and the: Strifes, so extensively known in various congregations, were his: offspring.. It may be mentioned, as a remarkable coincidence, that on the demise of Mr. Debt these. generally disap peared, having gone to parts unknown. Mr. Debt was strongly attached to the First Reformed Presbyterian Church in this city, and notwithstanding many efforts were made to drive him away, he continued in connection with it until the day of his death. For a long period he occupied a very prominent place in the affairs of the corporation, and received from its members a very large amount of interest. Such, however, is the ingratitude of the world, that only a few have appeared to regret his removal.; and it must be confessed, that though so long and intimately connected with the First Reformed Presbyterian Church, thnre did not seem to be the slightest sorrow at his departure. Indeed, it is reported that :his •death was the result of a general conspiracy among the members, of the congregation, and that as much as $16,000 were paid to make away with him. In this nefarious transaction most of the meinbers of the congregation took part with astonishing satisfaction, some giving even as much as $2,500 for the destruction of this venerable adherent to our church. The heartlessness of the people was such, that when it appeared that his death was beyond a doubt, measures were taken to commemorate the-event by a magnificent soiree, which was held almost as soon as he expired. • Our debt is dead,.that dear old debt, We ne'er shall see it more, And we feel a great deal happier to-night, Than we ever felt before. NEIGHBORLY FEELING. [We ire indebted to the Presbyterian Witness, one of our valuable exchanges, published at Halifax, Nova Scotia, for the following sentiments, excelled in their po litical soundness only by the' noble 'Chris tian fraternity which they express.] TO cultivate a friendly feeling with our neighbors, irrespective of geograPhical boundaiies,•' is at the m i me time a, sacred duty and the soundest policy. That a 'man is a Republican, or-a.'" Yankee," or a ,Oana-• dian, or a Frenchman,,does not furnish the slightest excuse for our hating him ,or sneering at him, or dealing with him in, an unneighborly way., We all profess to be Christians, and, as sueh'we are bound to hive - not only those who have given.us no offence, - and done us no injury, but those that despitefully use. us and persecute Us. The rule that applies -to individuals extendS in its application to communities. We have no more: right: to hate a nation or a race than to entertain the same feelings towards every individual in detail. - On the broad, high, and holy grounds of Christian principle, then, we condemn the ,unfriendly and ungenerous tone assumed by a section of the British A.inerican press toward the United States, and sometimes towards neighboring provinces. It is unfair ,and.unchristiii!' But taking lOwer ground, vie are'curifident that it is bad policy. The 'United States are our nearest neighbors `and ourhest customers. We gain nothing and may lose a great deal by quarrelling with them. To be sure, they, too, woulu 'lose; but that is poor fomfort for us. 6n, •year of war with the States' would ruin naillions'of pounds worth of our property, and many of our bravest men would not merely, have to face' death, but to die. It may seem a luxury to taunt, to jeer, and abuse, but the end of these things is often very serious indeed—cities burned, fields desolated, ships sunk, lives sacrificed. Fools scatter fire-brands, arrows, and death; but wise men may.try in vain to undo the mis chief. When readinc , the mutual eriminations, and recrimination's of parties on each side of the border, we recall Milton's splendid moral appended to lus account of the " Stygian Conneil:"— " 0 shame to men ! Devil with devil damned Firm concord holds; men only disagree Of creatures rational, though under hope Of heavenly, grace : and God proclaiming peace ) Yet live in hatred, enmity, and strife, Among themselves, and levy cruel wars, Wasting the earth each other to destroy; As if (which might induce us to accord) Man;had not hellish foes enow besides, That day and night for his destruction wait." Why is Canada, in its present troubles, compelled to incur great expense in order to enforce its own laws and preserve its neutrality? Just because -a' large section of the people delighted to read newspapers that indulged in insults and abuse of the United States, and because: reckless adven turers .eame to believe that the Canadians would protect them and, eyinpathise with them in any attacks on their,-neighbors. Thus a crop of "raiders," "pirates," 'i Fe nians," and " Hibernians" have sprung up along the border, threatening to involve two great nations in all the horrors of a bloody war. Newspaper writers are often cen sured for the tone of their articles; but it must be borne in mind that they generally must, to a great extent, reflect the views and tastes of their readers. The public at large is therefore responsible for the char acter of the press. Even the. New Yurk Herald has , a public of its own and a pecu liar public opinion to which it appeals and panders, and by which it is supported. The Canadians will have to pay pretty dearly for the luxury of winking very hard at the mad-cap pranks of George N. San ders and his fellow-plotters. Not only must the expense of calline , out the militia be Az borne, but trade and travel are interfered ' with; and the Reciprocity Treaty is in great danger of beinabrogated. Gunboats are to be placed on he lakes by the United States Government, land this will make it 1 necessary for Britain to support a similar and equal armament there; and Canada will be called upon to .contribute her share. As British Americans, we should culti vate a friendly feeling towards the United 1 States—towards a people who speak our language, who descend from the same an cestry, who read the same books, and wor ship the same Creator. As Nova Scotians, we have done our share to irritate our neighbors : let us undo the mischief as far as Christian principle and manly sense or honor demand. The-war between North and South was preceded by years of bitter bickerings and fierce paper fighting; let us beware lest the wordy warfare here lead to a like, dismal conclusion. Every right thinking man would regard a war between ourselves and the United States as the greatest calamity that' could befall the world, and everything tending in so disastrous a direction should be promptly checked. Or course, we should be just and courteous towards the men who in distress seek refuge among us. These men ' so-long as they re spect our laws, must be protected at all hazards. But it should be distinctly un (ierstood that no protection is to be accorded to men who aim at involving us in war, and who recklessly disregard , our. laws. We all sympathize deeply with the South erners as brave and suffering brother-men; but very many of us disappToVe of the cause in which they are fighting and suffer ing. They are secure under the ample folds of the British flag so—long as they respect our laws; but when they, or men pretending to act for them, make our ter ritory a "base of operations" against our neighbors, they at'once convert sympathy into contempt and indignation. A MIGHTY MISCHIEF. It has been a mighty mischief that reli gion has been so often divorced from the other modes and' ways of men. Men have looked atit as something distinct and pecu liar, having its own sphere and its own powers, and not, as the foundation and fa ther of all goodness and truth. The man of God has been separated from the man of science, the man of literature, the man of politics, the man of business. The world has helped the sepaption,-and so has the church. A (weak and ignorant piety, a strong and shrewd impiety, have done the same work. The general• exercises of • the intellect, the common charities of the heart, the familiar proceedings of the life, have been too frequently regarded as provinces into whiCh religion has no ,right to pene trate, or should only tome when invited, and be treated as a guest, and not expected to be honored as, a sovereign. Hence literature, art, social life, worldly engagements, have been treated as things which`-godliness is to possess, and.though apart from godliness, and not things which it is to act and-,be seen. To borrow an ex pressive illustration, the partnership -has been dissolved:between religion and other business., and thus it has come to a disas trous bankruptcy. That it is so, is appa rent from the fact, that there is a general disposition to regard immoralities connect ed with money matters in a different light from other immoralities. The same stand ard is not applied, the same - measure is not meted out. There is more gentle treat, Ment of the pecuniary sinner. ." It is only the way of business" covers a multitude of sins. A man, in• many circles, had better defraud his creditors than 'deny a single article of the popular creed, or violate a single conventionalism'of respectable soda ty.—Home _Evangelist.

Are you such a great sinner that you are afraid to come ? Then you are just the - one. He says, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repent ance." Caine then, come now. If you wait until you are better, you will never come at all. And _there is more joy over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety . and nine just persons that need no repent ance. Dear friend come to Christ to-day. A NEW FIRE EXTINGUISICER. —An apothe cary at Nantes has just discovered, by the merest accident, that ammonia will put out fires. He happened to have about 70 litres of benzine in his cellar, and his boy, in going down carelessly with alight, had set fire to it. Assistance was speedily at hand, and pail af ter pail of water was beirig poured into the cellar 'without producing any effect, when the apothecary himself took up a pail which was standing neglected- in a corner, and emptied the, contents into the cellar. To his aston iShinent,, the flames were quenched as if by Magic, and upon examination, he found that the pail, which belonged , to his laboratory, had contained a quantity of liquid ammonia. The result, is easy to , explain on scientific principles; for ammonia, which consists of 82 parts of nitrogen and 18 of hydrogen, is easily decomposed by heat; and the nitrogen thus set free in the midst Oa conflagration must infallibly, put out the flames. A large supply of liquid ammonia properly adminis tered would be the promptest fire extinguish er ever imagined. - , , Bffiba aibTro.
