Tlll l RELIGIOUS WORLD ABM GREAT BRITAIN THE JAMAICA REVOST. — This outbreak of half-famished, despised blacks, which re sulted in the death of twenty whites-, and which was over almost as soon as begun, has been followed by the massacre of from two to lour thollgand, mostly unarmed and unorganized men who had to be hunted out from their houses arid hiding places by the British soldiers. Almost the only hor ror about it has been the manner of its sup pression; and instead of furnishing the ene mies of the African race any f r esh argu ments, the behaviour of the A ng lo-Saxons on the Island has shocked Christendom, and will be made the subject or the most rigid government inquiry. Few persons are dis posed to credit Go ,.anor Eyre s, charge, that the rebellious s pirit of the negroes is mainly to be a ttributedto the seditious haran om, certain 'Baptist preachers, and notably m a letter written by Dr. Under hill, secretary to the Baptist Missionary s oc i e ty. The facts appear to be that pov erty and hunger, resulting from extraordi nary drought, low wages, enormous prices of American goods increased by an and vOlo and aggravated by the spectacle o f u :zovernment growing rich off of the ne cessities of the people, was the exciting ause of the discontent, which finally broke out into revolt. Dr. Underhill claims that his letter, setting forth the grievances of the Islanders, and addressed to the Gover nor, was a private one, and its publication was the unauthorized act of the Governor himself. A. trial of a land case which re sulted in favor of a new claimant, and against the old occupants, drew some mur murs from the spectators. One of them was arrested, but immediately rescued. The aid of the military was called in, the blacks were fired on, they rallied and set fire to the court ouse, containing the militia, and the result was twenty or thirty of the militia were brutally and cruelly slain, some say afterwards mutilated, by the infuriated blacks. That is all ; the begin ning, middle, and lend of the actual resis tance to authority. Only the Baptist missions are seriously involved in the disturbance, which was confined to the south-east of the Island. The field of the United Presbyterian Church is in the west. The Wesleyans who labor ed in the revolted districts were in danger. but none of the missionaries fell, though some were obliged to flee. There has nothing occurred that can justly be made a ground - of opposition, or mistrust, or de spair, in regard to the utility of missionary labors. If any doubts arise, they must be in regard to the civilization, humanity and Christianity of those who so barbarously re venged the death of the twenty or thirty soldiers. We are glad that Christian England is manfully asserting the right in this matter, and not only washing •her hands of responsibility, but insisting on placing the responsibility exactly where it belongs. • CHURCH I fICCOMMODATIONS IN LONDON. —From recent carefully prepared tables it appears that there are in London at the present time 12.16 places er ..war shi p ,, oon , taining accommodations for 917,895 people, an increase since 1851, when the last reli gious census ins published, of 219,346 sit tings. On Mr. Horace Mann's assumption that accommodation is required for 58 per cent. of the population, it is shown that as many as 831,387 of the inhabitants of, the metropolis are, at the present moment, provided with the Aims of public worship —an increase of deficiency, as compared with 1855, to the extent of 161,873. This inability to overtake the spiritual wants of London is referred to as being due more to the rapid increase of the population than to the apathy of the various denominations. During the intervening fourteen years, Nonconformists have made'much more rapid progress than the Established Church. The non-established religious bodies now provide in their places of worship, 405,828 sittings; the Church of England, 512,067. In other words, Dissenters have increased since 1851 at the rate of 40.5 per cent., while the Episcopal Church has progressed only 211.9 per cent. More than 43 per cent. of the religious provision in the metropolis at the presentmoment is provided by unen dowed churches, which receive no support or favor from the State, and to which be long, in comparison with the Chuich of England, only a fragtional part of the wealthy citizens of London. PUSEYISM AND ROMANISM.-Dr. Harold Browne has been making his primary visi tation of the diocese of Ely. In his charge to the clergy, his lordship has taken a de cided step on the subject of Rationalism, and in condemning the use of vestments, obser vances, and ceremonies —The Bishop of Manchester has withdrawn his license from a Romanizing clergyman of his diocese.---A correspondent of the Daily News says that it is "generally believed that the Pope has determined upon creating another Arch bishopric in England, and that _Dr. Ulla- - thorne, now Bishoi. of Birmingham, will be the new Archbishop, and be made titular primate of the North of England.. ,The two prelates will most likely receive'the. Cardinal's hat together next summer, when there is to he an immense assembly of Bishops from all parts of the world •in Rome." THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION had 700 delegates at its fall session. Drs. Raleigh and Vaughn, the deputation to America, reported, and received a vote of thanks. Whetter they alluded to the caustic speech of Chaplain Quint or not, is not stated. Dr. Storrs was present and plead for help for our Freedmen. It was resolved to. give a collection to this object on the second Sab bath in January. A site for a Memorial Hall had been obtained, which, with the necessary buildings, would cost £70,000. John Mills, M. P., offered £.10,000, it' four other gentlemen would give £5OOO each. Mr. Samuel Morley, M. P., at once agreed to be one of the four, and'Mr. John Crossley another, and this, with' £lO,OOO previously subscribed, would make £30,000 of the required amount. PRESBYTERIAN UNION IN AUSTRALIA. —On Friday, the Bth of September, the public consummation of the union of the Presbyterian Churches in New South Wales took place in Sydney. At eleven o'clock the members of .the Synod of Australia THE AMER (Church of Scotland) arrived from St. Andrew's Church, and the members of the General Synod from Free Church, Mac quarie Street, and the Rev. Adam Thom son and several members of his congrea tion from the Philip Street Church. The members of the Synod of Australia took their places on the right of the chair; the members of the General Synod on the left, the two Moderators. sitting in front of the The.liev. Adam Thomson, as clerk o f the Conference, took his place between the Moderators. After religious exercises, scrupulously apportioned between members of the differ ent bodies, the final acts of each body agreeing to consummate the union were read by their respective clerks. The Rev. Adam Thomson, as clerk of the Conference, then read the articles for merly agreed upon as the basis of the union. During the reading of these articles, all the members of the three several bodies about to unite remained standing, and as each article was concluded every member held up his right hand in token of assent thereto. Each of the constituent bodies, through its presiding officer, then pronounced their organic relations with the Churches of Great Britain dissolved and declared the union with the other two bodies on their part consummated. • The two Moderators and Mr. Thomson thereupon signed the articles of union, and then gave one another the right hand of fellowship; many of the members followed their example, passed from side to side across the platform, and cordially shook hands with their new associates in "The Presbyterian Church of New South Wales " Tire rolls of the several bodies having been called the Assembly unanimously elected the Rev. Adam Thomson to be Moderator, and the Rev. J. B. Laughton to be Clerk. The Moderator, after singing and the reading of the seventeenth chapter of the Gospel of St. John, constituted the General Assembly with prayer, and then delivered his inaugural address. He ap pealed to the memory of what the Lord had done for them in bringing about this union, as a cause for gratitude; and depicted in condensed and expressive language the present aspect of the cause of Evangelical truth in the world, in connection with the wide-spread movement for union. Another minister and congregation were received into the union, and the Assemblyi continued in .cesion one week. On Monday evening, September 18th, they adjourned to meet in October, 1866. On the following evening, at a public meet ing of Presbyterians, £370 was subscribed towards a fund for bringing out ministers from Britain. Joy and activity are the order of the day.—E vangelical Christen dom. FRANCE. THE STRUGGLE WITH ILATIONALISAL- The, Reformed Church in Paris has rejected a new pastor presented to the Presbyterial Council by A. Coquerel, senior, as his as sistant, on account of his vague evasive answers to plain questions on Christianity and the resurrection of our Lord. Nine votes against two excluded him. The Ea -tionaliat. Paatdan.r.. Polissiar, of Tl,-,...a 40 , 4x . x „, who openly spoke against the miracles of the Bible in Calvin's pulpit in Geneva, has drawn down upon himself his exclusion from all the Genevan pulpits by the Con sistory of that city.—Christian Work. NO STANDARDS AT ORDINATIONS.-A correspondent of the Evangelical Christen dom thus exposes a radical defect in the discipline of the National Church, which the good men in that body. are trying to remedy, but which it is impossible to reach effectively until the restoration of autonomy and of General Synods to the Church. He says: "In times past all the candidates for the holy ministry were obliged to admit and to sign our old Confession of Faith. This custom continued until the commence ment of the nineteenth century. But-since our Church has been united to the State, an excess of liberty has been d,emanded by the adherents of Rationalism in this matter. Every pastor who presides at the ordination of a candidate arrogates to himself the enormous /privilege of , composing a new formulary of consecration, or he even sup presses all formularies; so that many young men receive the titles and rights of - pastors without having taken any precise engage ment of faith and doctrine., This is an immense confusion, a disorder which opens thelloor to all opinions and all imaginable negations!' GERM_A_NY. " THE PROTESTANT AssocIATIoN," re presenting the liberal and negative tenden cies in German Theology, propose to estab lish a society for issuing liberal tracts, which are to be widely distributed amongst the people. Some ten are to appear in a year, at a very low price. They have also originated monuments in behalf of religious toleration which in some of the Protestant States are very necessary. Professor Ew ald, of Gottingen, has published the speech which he delivered in the Eisenach As sembly of the Associatioq last spring, against the clerical tyranny which has pre vailed for many years in Mecklenburg. To this expose of the persecutions carried on in that small State, and which have dis graced Germany, he has appended the ad dress to the Grand Duke voted by the meeting at Eisenach, praying that prince to out an end to a state of things unworthy of a Church which professes to spring from the Reformation. The correspoident doubts whether the Grand Duke, under the guid ance of the Lutheran Consistory, will pay it any attention. COMPLETION OF THE SYNODICAL FORM OF CLICRCH-GOVERNMENT.—The Synods of the Rhine and of Westphalia have ad dressed a petition to the King, calling for an acceleration of the process of Church organization, began four or five years ago in Prussia, in order that a General Synod of the Evangelical Church of Germany may be speedily realized. The correspondent of the Evangelical Christendom says : " We might, at another time, hoPe for the success of this movement, but now that is impossi ble! Moreover, the political and religious journals which regard absolutism as the only safeguard and blessing of the State, as well as of the Church, have bestirred them selves to oppose the petition of the Synods of the Rhine and of Westphalia." CAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28. 1865. THE POPE is encouraging his faithful sons in the Austrian Tyrol to maintain their fanatical opposition to the tolerant designs of Austria in their province. An organi zation to prevent, not only all non-Catholic worship, but even the recognition of Pro testants as citizens, and their acquisition of fixed property,having sent the needy Father some money, he thus addressed the Society —" Well-beloved sons, health and apostolic benediction. We congratulate you in that, having put your hand to the plough, you are not looking hack, but the more that the thorns spring up, and the tares threaten to choke the good seed, the more careful are you to cultivate the field of the Lord. To this end, we.observe, to the special conso lation of our heart, the steps you have taken to prevent the immigration and set tlement of unbelievers, as well as the per , formance of non-Catholic worship amongst the faithful of this very religious country," &c. "Notwithstanding," says a corres pondent, " Evangelical worship has been established at Salzburg, where a noble Pro testant church has been erected. It has even been introduced, this last summer, at Gastein, whither in the bathing season so many visitors resort. The King ot . Prussia was present at the first reli g ious service in this locality, and made a donation of 500 florins towards the church at Salzburg." 1 MOVEMENTS IN BERLIN.— The first Chapel erected in Berlin under the new Church Building Enterprise was opened Oct. Ist. It is designed for temporary, accommodation merely. A Sabbath-school is connected with it.—On the 24th of October last,, the foundation-stße was laid of the new lllizabeth Hospital,*e of the institutions founded by Gossner. The first hammer strokes were given by the Qbeea- Dowaffer and the King. The new building, which is to be Gothic in style, is expected to cost about £lO,OOO, of which a consider able portion remains still to be collecteid. The house, which will be 204 feet long by 45 deep. and three stories high, is intended to accommodate 170 patients, besides the va rious attendants. In token of her intert in Sabbath-schools, her Majesty the Quee t - et Dowager recently praented a handsonaell bound Bible to the school which assembles in the hall of the Evangelical Associati4k in Berlin, under the superintendence of the chaplain of the house, pastor Quandt. This school numbers at present 250 scholars aid 26 teachers, mostly members of the Yonig Men's Christian Association_;_ and is, if nit,, the largest, one of the most interesting ti Berlin.—Christian Work. PROF. SCHAP, so well known in theoll gical circles here, has been doino. b good ser vice to the cause of Christ and to hi' adopted country by lecturing in Berlin. The correspondent of Christian Work its that city speaks of two excellent lectures delivered by the professor in the Hall of the Evangelical alliance on " Religious Li e in America," and on the " War and‘Slav - ry." In the first he laid especial ,stress n the sanctification of the Sabbath and n viSabbath-schools. The second lecture s attended by a crowded audience, and although the correspondent commends the good sense and spirit of the lecture, he says, its felt antagonism to the " conserva .tiouck!!_provianing, among- evciassolioca oirit -: there created a great stir, and called forth a savage attack from the conservative news paper, the Kreuz Zeitung. A correspond ence followed in the columns of thh, paper, and the result is that both lectures have been published, and are having an extcn ive sale. " I have taken up so much space with this matter," says the writer, "be cause it is very characteristic of the state of things here. Party spirit runs almost as high as it does in Ireland between the Orangeites and the Roman Catholics." THE AUTUMNAL CONFERENCES in Ger many are spoken of as showing more deci ded practical tendencies. At the one of the Synod of the Rhine, one of the questions discussed was : " How to get Christian laymen to take part in the-spirit ual work of the church." The Westpha lian Synod voted an address of sympathy to the faithful brethren, contending against Dr. Schenkel in Baden. . THE ADVANCES OF ROMAN CATHOLI cism in the province of East Prussia are occasioning a good deal of anxiety, and are at last arousing the authorities to ; action. It seems that the priests are getting hold of the children of poor Protestants by means of promises to sustain them a year whilst receiving the instruction necessary for con firmation. In one year seventy-three were given to them for this purpose. An insti tution has now been founded designed to obviate the difficulty. THE NUMBER OFPROTESTANTSTUDENTS of Theology in Prussia during the winter of 1864-65 was as follows :-4.:70 in Halle, 331, in Berlin, 116 in Konigsberg, 101 in Bres lau, 63 in Bonn, 24 in Greisswald; alto gether 1005. The number of Catholic students 629, of which 276 were in Mun ster, 187 in Bonn, and 166 in Breslau. A statue has recently been erected to Melaoc thou in Wittenberg. ITALY. THE EVACUATION Of ROME.,--A part of the Frencti garrison has begun to evacuate the City of the V atican. Several batta lions (4000) have already left, the rest will follow, and at the end of a year all the Sol diers must return to France, according to the-terms of the Franco-Italian Convention. The heads of the clerical party are per fectly persuaded that most of the citizens of Rome ardently desire to be united with their Italian fellow-countrymen, and that they will manifest their wishes with manly energy as soon as these regiments have re sumed the road to their native land. Bat they persist in hoping for some external help and even cherish the notion that Ring Emanuel himself would feel bound by treaty to protect the Pope from his subjects. The Pope is increasing his army by a few thousand men, and as recruits are slot in presenting themselves in the Papal States, they are being quietly smuggled in from abroad, under an inducement of high pay and stirring scenes. THERE IS A. PARTY at work in the Italian Church, small and scattered, but living, growing, coalescing, who, while they refuse to break with Catholicism, yet advocate the marriage of the clergy, the Bible in the mother tongue of the people, and other kindred reforms OPENING OF THE PARLIAMENT AT FLOR ENCE.—The correspondent of Erangflical f trist , hrlom writing from that city, Nov. lSth, says :—" Florence is to-day all gaiety, though the sky is sombre and the rain falls heavily. Banners are hu❑g from every edifice, and the whole town is illuminated to celebrate the opening of ,the second Ital ian Parliament this forenoon, in the pres ence of 450 deputies and a brilliant assem blage of foreign and native onlookers. The speech of the King, delivered in the grand old Cinquecento Hall, built by Savonarola for the freemen of Florence, is manly and practical. You will be surprised to hear that the two passages which were received with loud, unanimous, and prolonged ap plause, were those' in which he referred to the breaking off of intercourse with the Pope, when proposals offensive to the Crown and the nation had been made, and in which he mentioned that the Cabinet, would immediately submit bills for 'the se paration of Church and State,' and the sup pression of religious corporations. The progress of public opinion in Italy during the last five years, especially on ecclesiasti cal matters, is very remarkable, and equals the advance thade by other lands in a cen tury." The new civil code which comes into ope ration January. Ist, is described by the correspondent as a magnificent piece of legislation. He says :—" It is the heaviest blow yet dealt to the Papacy in the land of its former. sovereign sway. From the be ginning of next year, men of every creed are left at liberty to call in the services of their religious teachers on all solemn occa sions in the lives of citizens." THE WALDENSIAN COLLEGE has opened its winter session with thirteen students, one of whom is from Turkey, another from Lombardy, and several from Sicily and the Vaudois valleys. Dr. De Sanctis (whose recent work entitled "Papal Rome,".. has been honored by the. Pope with a place in the index) is appointhd to give au extra course of lectures on the history of the rise of the errors of the Church of Rome, and other controversial subjects.pp uM PALERMO.—The Protestant catoo,n hers three churches—the AnglicafeNthe English; the Lutheran for the Galloons, Swiss, and other continental strangers; and the Waldensian church for evangelical Italians. Of this latter, the minister is a missionary of the United Presbyterian Church, Scotland, and aided by that body. BELGIUM. OPEN AIR Plttip.Friwo.—M. Van Eelde, the pastor of al-Flemish congregation in the St. Giles's of Brussels, struck with the ignorance and immorality, by which he was surrounded, determined, to attempt open air preaching. It appears he found ready and attentive hearers. But the Catholic press took the matter up. Here was a Pro testant haranguing the people in the pub lic thoroughfares. protected by the police because he was a Protestant, and because he attacked the Catholic religion. The liberal papers, with remarkable unanimity, asserted the pastor's right to .preach where he liked, provided he committed no infrac tion of the police regulations. PwaTotet. TN-vmyzeimht_is.__doprivoci. - of every religious element in Belgium. Even girls' schools are being opened, from -which all religious teaching is excluded, and it is not likely to be supplied at home. A Con gress of Students was held at Liege in Oc tober, where republicanism. socialism, and atheism, were mixed up in a hideous med ley, and served up in language so crude and violent as to defy quotation. The Congress has been a great scandal, and has done great harm to the liberals who pa tronised it. MISSIONARY TURKEY.-Sir Henry Bulwer, who has recently resigned the British Embassy, is often spoken of as more a Turk than the Turks themselves. Lord Lyons, his suc cessor, according to the correspondent of the vangelicat ( hristendom, "has thus far made a most favorable impression upon all who are interested in the welfare of Turkey, and in the maintenance of British influence here. We feel that a new day has dawned upon us." The 'Church at Pera, as our readers are aware, has long been -estranged from the mission of the American Board, with whom it originated. The same correspondertt writes :—" I am happy to be able to repoft that there now seems to be every prospect of renewed harmony of action, and of more united 'and successful efforts for the evan gelization of the city. Indeed, all the Pro testant congregations are now much larger than they have been in past years. Even the Mussulmans seem to be regaining the courage which was so effectually subdued 'by the persecutions of last year. They once more begin to visit the missionaries, and even to attenil the religious services of the Sabbath." The work among the Bulgarians has not progressed as rapidly as it was expected five years ago that it would, but those hopes were based upon political movements, which are still progressing, and which have thus far proved, at least, very favorable to the dispensation of religious truth. Great numbers of the better educated classes are already Protestants at heart, and would not hesitate to declare themselves such if they could hope to carry the masses with them. The American Missions in the interior show signs of constant and vigorous growth. A pastor has been ordained over the flour ishing church in Cesarea ; more than seven hundred persons were present at the religi ous services on the occasion. In Northern Asia Minor, south of Broosa, in Murad Tchai, and other towns, large Protestant communities have sprung up within a year, and the people seem to be thoroughly in earnekt, ready to help themselves, and to labor for their neighbors. In Eastern Turkey the work is equally encouraging. The writer knows of no church established by our missionaries which has not at least begun to learn the lesson df self-support. A Turkish Convert was openly baptized in an interior city three months ago, who• has literally suffered loss of all things for Christ's sake. He has been imprisoned, beaten almost to death, and subjected to horrible tortures. He has had his wife, his children, and all his large property taken from him, and given to other more faithful Mussulmans. He has persisted, in spite of all this, in remaining in his native city, and there he has been openly bap tized. As yet no notice has been taken of this by the Turkish authorities or people there. INDlA.—Great sensation has been created in Jubbulpore by the baptism of a Moham medan Soofee and his friend, a village schoolmaster, who had become enlightened by his instrumentality. At a meeting of respectable Mussulmans, some of them de clared that, after what the Sciofee had done, it behoved them also to inquire whether these things were so. More recently a third convert, also the result of the inquiries and earnestness of the first, has been baptized. WEST AFRICA.-A new inission has been commenced by Bishop Crowther in the Delta of the Niger. The king and people of Bonny, perceiving that, in consequence of the establisiitxtent of Christian missions among them, the tribes along the Nun and the Niger, as well as Old Calabar, etc., were outstripping them in point of education and improvement, applied to Bishop Crowther to place a missionary amongst them. He resolved to put their sincerity to the test. He told them that he was willing to com ply with th4ir request, provided that they were willing to bear their share in the ex pense, and that, as the estimated expense gwould be 3001, they must ,pay 1501. This they agreed to They have paid, as a first instalment, 751., and the mission has been commenced. 461 ibilniratino. =M=!!
