McGill, late in charge of a Reformed Presby terian Church in Dumfrieshire, applied for a mission to the London Presbytery. The re quest was favorably received, and a committee was appointed to confer with him—The corner stone for St. George's Chnrch and Schools for the U. P. congregation of Preston New Road, Manchester, was laid March 4th., The Church will seat one thousand persons. —The U. P. Presbytery of London, March 13th, adopted unanimously an overture to the Synod in favor of allowing the Home and Foreign Secretaries of the Church the right of voting in Synod, hitherto denied them. CONGREGATIONAL CALL FOR, A CONGREGATIONAL CREED.- No interest could surpass this in the general reasons for holding the Council. Each state organization of ongregational churches or ministers had made a declaration of its faith, at different times, and for substance had mostly and formally adopted the West minister Confession. But as the entire Con gregational body in the land had never had the opportunity to adopt by common voice and at one time and place any one creed, we were open to the charge of opposers to our polity and doctrine, that we had no one form of faith. Though we agreed in substance as well as any other denomination, it has been our misfortune that we could not refer to any one confession as the faith of the denom ination. Taking advantage of this and using isolated cases, suspicions and . accusations of unsoundness have been raised by other de nominations concerning sections of our body, specially the western. This has been without warrant in any broad, facts, and exdtedingly unjust toward as evangelical and devout a body of churches as can he found in the land. For their sake, then, as well as ours, the op portunity was wisely created and will be well used to make a declaration of the faith of the Congregational body. For the Council to be silent and make no doctrinal deliverance would be ominous. It would at once be con strued to mean that we could not agree on a creed. And this conclusion would be drawn with much of reason. For why should a united religious body hesitate to utter its one faith? Moreover, a denomination without a general of faith would be an ano maly in Christendom, if we except the Uni tarians. Even they are now asking for and foreshadowing one.—Boston Recorder. RIETB[ODIsT. MONTANA TERRITORY.—From this terri tory, which is just now the Ultima Thule of civilization within our political boundaries, Rev. A. M. Hough writes to the Advodate and Journal, under date of Virginia City, January 24 :—" Our religious prospects are far better than I dared hope before I left the East for this field of labor. We dedicated the the first and only church in Montana Terri tory,, November 6. In a few weeks we found it too small to even furnish standing room for all who sought entrance, so weave taken out one end of the building, and are putting on twenty-five feet addition. On my arrival here .1. found eight or ten brethren banded to ether and maintaining class and prayer meet ings. In the name of the Lord we set up our banner,and soon qiiite a number of brethren, some lethodists, and some members of other denominations, who had not before identified themselves its Christians, rallied round it, and we were able to count about forty mem bers. Then we held a protracted meeting; which continued five weeks and it resulted in the addition of over forty more to the church; we now number about ninety mem bers. The membership here is very faithful and earnest." PHILADELPHIA CONFERENCE.—The editor of the Christian Advocate and Journal, re viewing the proceedings of the late meeting of this Conference, says:—" The Philadelphia Conference is not only flume, ically the largest in the whole connection, it is also in many particulars among the most able and effective. Probably in no other section of the country is Methodism advancing more satisfactorily than in that part of Pennsylvania included in the Philadelphia Conference, and in no other city is our church so strong v s in Philadel phia. Among the older members of the con ference are not a few whew_ names are known and honored throughout Church; but the Peculiar advantage of this conference is in the possession of an unusually large propor: tion of young men, capable of occupying ad vantageously v•: ^,pcisition in the conference. These young n. .1. are "up to the times;" progressive, but not, in any bad sense, radical ; loyal to the Church, and to the spirit,of the age as inspired and directed by the genius of Methodism." , ''EPISCOPAL THE NEW AERIOAN BISHOP.—We have before spoken of the ordination to the episco pate of Dr. Crowther, a colored man, and his work in Western Africa, under the auspices of the English Church Missionary Society. At his first ordination services on the banks of the Niger, the Bishop exclaimed :--"Can this 'be real'? Is this the way , christianity spread to remote countries in the first centu ries of its promulgation? If so, let the chuich of Christ buckle on her harness, for this is the time of her action." The.,goo bishop not only exhorts to action, but labors himself with remarkable zeal anti energy. He left Liverpool towards the end of last July; in less than a month he was at Lagos, just in time to secure a passage on board of the Investigator then about' to as cend the Niger. In a few days he had com menced his primary visitation, and in seven weeks he had gone over the stations of the Church Missionary Society on the Niger, and had successfully accomplished many objects preparatory to future • extension. There are cheering reports of accessions to the churches in these regions. At Ghebe, Bishop Crow ther baptized ten adults and seven children, all children of converts. Seventeen adults were baptized during last, year at the Bread fruit Station of the Church mission at Lagos. BAPTIST. DEATH OF APHMA.DELPHIA CLERGYMAN.— An earnest and valuable laborer fbr Christ has been removed, in the person of Rev. B. R. Lesley, who departed this life on the 24th inst. -Mr. Losley was many years ago the minister of a bran'oh enterprise. of the First' Baptist Church In this , city_, and afterwards Deposi tory Agent of the Publication Society of that church. Latterly he has labored among the poor as City Missionary, in which capacity especially•his kiss - will be greatly felt. „ REVIVALS. Several • of the Baptist churches in this city are enjoying more than usual measures of saving influence. Pagers Boardman,;Henson, Kennard, J. Hyatt Smith and Marsh have each received a num ber into the church by baptism. The work in Trenton,N. J . :, heretofore noticed, cosntinues; so also in Haddonfield, in the same State. At Green Point Church, Brooklyn, N, Y., thirty-one recently came into the church by Profession of Christ. Revivals are reported from several places in Connecticut; also one of much interest in Flushing, Michigan. -- NEW CHURCH. IN &MTH CAROLINA:= A of the Watchman. and Reporter, writes from Mitchellville Head :—"The First African Baptist Church at that place was dedicated the last Sunday in February, with appropriate services. Though common lum ber cost sixty-five dollars per thousand feet, the whole building, sixty by forty feet, with gallery, was erected at a cost of three thou sand dollars. It is whitewashed instead of being painted, and presents a neat appearance. Dr. Peck was present, and made appropriate remarks from the text, "Ye shall reverence my sanctuary." Rev. A. Murchison and Rev. D. Spencer were also present, assisting in the services which followed. Four deacons were ordained, and seventeen converts bap tized." GERMAN REFORMED. SOUTH-WESTERN PHILADELPHIA.- Con cerning the new German Reformed enterprise for which. Tabor Chapel was recently pur chased, the Messenger says :—" The congre gation in this portion of the city, organized February 26, after about - two months' mis sionary labor by the pastor, the Rev. J. C. Hauser, now embraces about ninety members, including thirty-eight families. On Sabbath, March 12, the congregation held their reli gious servsces in their new place of worship for the first time. All present seemed to be very much gratified with the 'prospects before them. This enterprise is a success which seems to have been secusjd by special provi dences in the case." MISSIONARY. THE DACOTAH INDIANS. —Rev. Thomas Williamson, the veteran missionary to the Dacotah Indians, has labored with pecu liar zeal and effort among those of the tribe who have remained imprisoned in Davenport, lowa, since the bloody outrages of the last year. In a late letter to the Pres byterian Witness, Mr. W. says:—" It is now three months since I returned to preach to these imprisoned Indians, after an absence from them of nearly eight months. Since my return, I have visited their prison every day, most days spending from - two to four hours with them. I have endeavored to in form myself particularly in regard to their spiritual state. A few have sinned so as to make it necessary to exclude them from church privileges ; but a very large majority of them continue to adorn their profession, and give pleasing evidence that they are born of the Holy Spirit. Besides praying secretly, they have singing and prayer, morning and evening, in each of the five rooms which they occupy. In my travels among- our own peo ple I sometimes hear prayers in which no petition is offered-for any.person except those present. I have heard no such prayer among these Indians, although I hear some of them . pray almost every day. In all their prayers which I have heard, they name the sick among themselves, and -their kindred who have been sent to the Missouri, and mostly they pray for their people, and the brethren in general, that the gospel may be made known to the - m. Very frequently they pray for ministers of the gospel irr general, and' par ticularly for those' with whom they are ac- Uainted: - Also for the President of the nited States, and that God may make wars to cease, and that peace may prevail." MIS CELL f,i3EOITS. THE. SOCIETY OF EVANGELIZATION IN PARIS is • instituting religious operations of a highly practical Character which meet with a good degree of success. The intention is, to spread the Gospel in that city irrespective of particular denominations. The matter is in charge of a committee of eighteen - laymen taken indiscriminately from the different evangelical churches of Paris: Ten evan gelists, three of whom are women, are now at work with encouraging results. The women labor in the manner of the English Bible women, and three examiners, chosen from the pastors, are appointed by the com mittee to examine the persons who become visitors under the direction of the Society. LABORS FOR THE JEWS.—Mr. A. J. Levy, missionary to the Jews in the Western cities, reports for the year as follows: "In my la bors among my brethren according to the flesh, I have been well received, with a few exceptions, and they were willing to enter into conversation with me on the subject of their souls' salvation, and in many places they come to church on the Lord's Day to bear me preach. I have visited in Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh, and other places, six hundred and eighty families, and conversed with about one hundred - and fifty individuals ou the streets, steamboats, and railroad cars, about Jesus, their Messiah ; distributed about 15,000 pages'" of tracts, in the German, English, and Hebrew languages; twenty-six Hebrew, seven German, and four English Bibles ; three Hebrew Psalters, three Hebrew, four English and ten German - Testaments. Thus have I been privileged to cast the Bread of Life upon the waters ; but when shall it be gathered again ?" RELIGION AMONG THE FISHERMEN OF THE ISLANDS IN LABE MICHIGAN.—Rev. Peter Kitwood, of the Western Seaman's Friend Society, says in the course.of a recent letter :—" Our hbuid is crowded,,and every night we witness fresh displays of the. Divine power. Many a blashphemous l'Origue is now uttering praise ; many who indulg , ed in the drunkard's cup, are now sober'and in their right mind; and in, many, a house where the name of God was `never 'used but in'tkro fanity, the morning and the evening sacrifice -now - ascend from the family altar—instead of the profane song, there is now almost con tinually to be heard the hymn and voice of praise. Twenty-one have united with • the church, and many more are propounded. The island nearest us, (six miles) Rook Island, is participating with us in the bless ings of salvation. I have been over twice lately, and we have now two ladies with us from there seeking the Lord earnestly. They will, doubtless, song return, carrying Christ with them. Others are coming.' —Evan gelist. TRUE MISSIONARIES.—Some time since we reported the sailing of a Swedish vessel out of our port with a converted captain, mate, and crew, organized into a society. One of the officers was a leader, and , the captain was pastor and "fireacher, reading a sermon to "all hands" every Sunday, while during the week class and prayer meetings were attended to as if on shore. W hen they made their destined haven, they found se veral vessels in port of their own nationality, and that meetings for prayer and exhortation might be held on board each, they divided themselves into primitive bands; and went forth " two and two," each band taking a vessel, and thus holding religious service on board each of the-several .vessels in the har bor. This novel service was not without its effect for good upon all beholders, who agreed that it was never before seen in our day. In the company of these converted Seamen is a youth whose fervor and fluency reminds one of the early days when a presiding elder would take one of his boys " round the dis trict" with him to kindle a fire, which, with God's blessing , burns in many places unto this day.—.N.

The Third THE AMERICAN yRESBYTERIAN, _THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1865 Presbyterian Church in Newark, N. J. has erected a mission chapel, and employed the Rev. Dr. Brinsmade, former pastor of the church, to take the spiritual oversight of it. —A recent collection for the American Tract Society, taken in Dr. Prentiss' Church, New York, amounted to $1,615 32. The Church in University Place (late Dr. Potts) has just contributed $1,500 to the same So ciety.—The Baptists are about to establish a " .National Theological" Institute" fbr the education of colored preachers. Quite a number of ordained colored ministers of that denomination are already applicants for its benefits.. - The spirit of fanatical and vindictive per secution, [that of the Jews toward Paul,] is a fearful and monstrous manifestation of our fallen nature. At the first view •it seems simply an insane, absurd, illogical depravity. Men say to us, ".We have the truth of God. You are in error. You hold and propagate wrong views of God and right and duty. They will ruin your soul and other souls." What in this state of thinks should be their feeling toward us ? It should, evidently, be affec tionate interest. What should be their con duet? A loving effort to win us to the truth. What should be their conduct and their feel ing if they fail? Profounk pity, continued kindness, and still hopefu prayer. This is the legitimate and ordinary working of holi ness in possession of the truth. It was the spirit and conduct manifested by St. Paul. But instead of this loving spirit, false, fiery, fanatical, persecuting zeal exhibits perhaps the most deadly and awful hatred that ever takes possession, or can take possession, of a being who has not yet become a fiend. It is a strange and hideous manifestation of human depravity. We shudder as we hear it howling about St. Paul in the day-time, as he stands-in the midst of the infuriated rab ble at the court of the Gentiles, and among the vindictive doctors of the Sanhedrim, or as we see it in the midnight conclave of forty Jews, who bind themselves by awful impre cations not to eat or drink until they shall have slain the Apostle. As this spirit is hideous in its full development, so it is re pulsive in every form and degree of its mani festation. Yet we, must not forget that it arises from the perversion of the-highest part of our na ture, conscience. The true work of conscience is to reprove personal sins. Its right action is within. It is not to -be wounded by the sins of others. Love may suffer because of them, and conscience ,pronipt love to work for their removal and their forgiveness. Con science, guided by love, takes truth and goes forth to win others by: it away from sin, and its companion sorrow, and its- doom, death: If it fails it is not turned into hatred. If it withdraws, it is because ithis ceased to hope. It does riot scowl, but it weeps' when it re-, tires. But in the base of fanatical and Persecuting zeal, conscience performs a different function. Not being an eialiglitened and sanctified con science it does not perform its appropriate work. It does not. act on personal sins. It is wounded by, the sins and unbeliefs of others. It works itself out from under the mountain load of its own iniquities, by which it might be' crushed into humility, and be made to' bleed in contrition, and it rushes against the sins: of others, and. is thus maddened into pride and resentment and fierce self-assertion, which it sanctifies with the holy name of _zeal_ . In. this misdirec tion of a perverted consience, it does aban don love, for love was never with it: but it takes with it the whole dread sister-. hood of the malignant passions, and it is these width it drives on to the work of con verting, coercing, persecuting, and destroy ing. The true definition of fanatical perse cution then seems to be that it i,s a perverted conscience employing hatred to do the work which love alone can do. Then it is a Jehu in his chariot, from whom not alone the enemies, but the friends of God must flee if they would live. And that which is most awful in this portentous wickedness is that it considers itself eminently righteous. Never are the malignant passions so horrible as when dri ven on by' conscience. When men persuade themselves that it is their duty to be vindic tive, to let loose their evil passions, to hate, and persecute, and torture, then will there be such fiendish developments of humanity as are never elsewhere witnessed. It is to be obseried that it is riot Often the truth which is thus used in the service of persecuting zeal; but it is some perversion of truth, or half truth, or single truths sepa rated from • those, without which they are errors; or it is simple error and falsehood which are thus employed. Holy truth re fuses to be.-used except by holy love. The spear of Gabriel cannot be fitted to the hand of Lucifer. This persecuting fanaticism -is Phariseeism, destroying the spirit of the law by the letter, and imposing upon men human traditions in place of divine laws. It is Ju daism, ignorant of the spirit, and yet clinging to, the forms of an abrogated economy. It is Mohammedanism, with its false prophet, its. Ramiro - sword, and its impure heaven. It is the zeal of the Jews that assailed Paul in the Temple, and raged around him in the Sanhe drim. It is the zeal of the Inquisition, the zeal of Alva, the zeal of Philip of Spain and Louis XIV. of France, the zeal of those who followed the- saints of Savoy, wi• h fire and sword, to their mountain fastnesses, and drove the Huguenot*, noble martyrs and confessors, into the wild glens of the Cevennes. St. Paul's conduct, when exposed to this fiery fanaticism, teaches us in what spirit and with what holy prudence it should be met. Nothing can be more calculated to•stir up a spirit of resentment and indignation. How ever, these may have been excited, and how ever just they might have been, they were overcome by love and holy zeal for his de luded brethren in the flesh. Very touching is the declaration which he made to his bre thren whom he called together at Rome: "Not that I have aught to accuse my nation of." To us-it seems as if there were much cause to accuse them; but he, remembering his journey to Damascus, and how recently he had shared their views and feelings, felt that it was not for him to accuse his nation; al though they had thirsted for his blood, and driven him to Rome in chains. In all his speeches there are no words of denunciation. He vindicates himself. He endeavors to con vince and propitiate his enemies, in order that he may present to them the hope of Is rael, and persuade them to accept the great salvation. And when it becomes evident that his words will be unavailing, he bows to the storm, and remembering the Master's assurance that he must testify of him at Rome, avails himself of the facilities which providence supplied to enable him to escape from their hands. —Rev. Dr. Butler's "St. Paul in Rome." FOOD FOR CRICKENS.-A writer in Wilkes' Spirit recommends for chickens for the first week after hatching, a hard boiled egg, to be given, chopped fine, at least twice a day, wheat steeped ip milk, and coarse Indian meal, bread crumbs, &c. A change of food is necessary, and he advises that it be changed twice a week, substituting cracked corn for wheat. Chickens should be fed as long . as they will run after food at call.

Passen gers are protected from accident by stone walls some four feet high, and the river is some twelve or fifteen feet from the outer base of these walls, which, though only four feet high next the sidewalk, are twenty feet high on the river side. The top of this stone wall, from the Quai d'Orsay to the Quai de la Tournelle,•is more or less covered with wooden boxes containing books. There are seventy-fiVe of these' booksellers. 'There are 1050 boxes, holding, on an average, some 75 or 80 volumes. There are consequently be tween 78,750 and 86,400 volumes constantly on sale.

It is as 'follows:-``The . incumbent of' Os borne had occasion to visit an aged parish ioner. Upon his arrival at, the cottage, as he entered the door where the invalid was, he saw sitting by the bedside ,a lady in deep mourning, reading the Word of God. He was about-to retire, when the lady-remarked, Pray-remain. I should not wish the invalid to lose the comfort which a clergyman might afford.' The lady retired, and the clergyman found-lying on the bed a book - with - texts of Scripture adapted to the sick;- and he found that out of that - book portions of' Scripture had been read by the lady in black.
