lotion of the country was 5,305,000, while the !
church members were 350,000. In 1860 the popu
lation was 31,000,000 and over, the church mem
bers 5,355,263. The ratio of communicants to the
inhabitants of ten years of age and upwards was as
follows: In 1800 one communicant for every ten
inhabitants; in 1843, one communicant for every
live inhabitants; in 1860 one communicant for every
four inhabitants, omitting fractions. During this
period you will perceive the population has increas
ed six-fold, and the communicants have increased
fourteen and a half fold; the increase of church
membership has been two and a half times greater
Ilian that of the population. At the beginning of
the century there were not four million copies of
the Bible, nor had it been translated even in parts
into more than fifty tongues. Now the total circu
lation of one Society alone is oven fifty- million
copies, and it is translated into 175 living lan
guages" .
A Raid on Satan’s Territory.— The operations
of the committee to secure Evangelistic preaching in
the theatres of London have met with great success.
The committee is composed mostly of persons con
nected with the Established Church, and the funds
are chiefly from the same class, but the employment
of preachers has been entirely impartial—adapta
tion to the service being the only criterion. The
fact is well attested, that no small amount of good
is done by these services. At the Surrey Theatre
the ordinary attendance has ranged from 2JPOO to
2,500; at the Pavilion Theatre, Whitechapel, from
1,500 to 2,000; at the Standard Theatre, from 1,500
to 1,800; at the Sadler's Wells Theatre, from' 1,300
to 1,500; at the Alhambra Palace, from 1,400 to
2,000; and at the Regent Music Hall, from 400 to
800. During the last season about 190,000 persons
have attended the services, and it is on record—-.a
record vouched for by really respectable persons —
that the moral and spiritual character of many of
these persons have been changed by the means of
them. It is wonderful how people flock to them.
Christian Work among the Gipsies.— The first
Christian efforts to reclaim the eighteen thousand
gipsies found in England were made by Mr. Crabb,
of Southampton, in 1827, with such success that, in
six years, forty-six Of them had been brought to a
settled life. In 1857 the London City Mission un
dertook a work among these wanderers, by employ
ing a missionary in the outskirts of London, witli
encouraging results. Many forsake their vagrant
life, abandon fortune-rtelling and all other tricks, be
take themselves to honest industry, begin to live in
houses, and the younger ones become very eager to
learn to read and write. Many, too, become deeply
religious, and do all in their power to reclaim their
companions to better ways.
The Revival in Scotland— A great revival
among the fishermen of Banfshire is still in pro
gress. God lias poured out his Spirit upon Portessie
and the adjoining village of Findochty in a wonder
ful manner. Children of seven, and old men of
seventy are among its subjects. The worst drunk
ards in the village are sitting at the feet of Jesus.
The publican was among the first to confess his
sins. He lias pulled down liis sign, smashed his
glasses among the rocks, and given the largest room
of liis house for a young men’s prayer-meeting.
The meetings were conducted by fishermen of vari
ous denominations, who wrought most harmonious
ly for the salvation, of souls.
Bishop ColeilSO lias been carrying on a contro
versy with Prof. Ileurtley of Oxford on the Apostolic
authority for praying to Christ: Colenso admits
Apostolic example for such prayers and denies Apos
tolic injunction; following in this Bellarniine,
Wheatley and other great liturgists. Tie recently
received an address of sympathy from the laity of
his congregation in Natal in condemnation of the
attempt made to interrupt him during public wor
ship, and in his reply drew quite a pathetic picture
of the martyrdom to which he had been subjected—
for testifying against the faith.
The Primate and the Bishop of Oxford, the two
prelates whose advice was sought by Mr. Butler,
successor of Dr. Colenso, on the question whether
he should accept the call of the Natal clergy to the
"see of Maritsouig;” hold .Bishop Colenso to have
been canonically deposed; tliey see "nothing in his
legal position to prevent the election of a bishop" in
his room; they feel “the needs of this district of
South Africa to be urgent;" and they “dare not
advise” him to refuse the call. But the circum
stances of the election raise in their minds “grave
doubts” whether there is sufficient evidence of its
being canonical, and sufficient warrant for expect
ing that it will be recognized by the Church in South
Africa and at home. They recommend Mr. Butler,
therefore, to suspend his decision till these doubts
are removed, and he has taken their advice.
Two Englishwomen, representing the two “ex
tremes of religious thought and life,” have recently
gone out on missionary business : Mtis Sellon, the
lady Abbess of Devonport v who assumes almost re
gal state without alienating her intimate friend Dr.
Pusey, goes out to the Sandwich Islands tb organ
ize two or more fresh houses of Sisters of Mercy.
The Sisters who are already settled there, in con
nection with the Devonport Sisterhood, have served
Bishop Staley’s purpose so well that he—with the
king and queen—has earnestly asked them to en
large their plan of operations. These ladies are
the first missionary Sisters of Mercy who have been
sent out by[?] the Church of England into heathen
Zcmrfs[!] On the other hand, Miss Carpenter (daugh
ter of the famous Unitarian Dr. Lant Carpenter)
has gone to India to look after the interests of Hin
doo theism, and to promote English literature and
social science; subjects that are becoming daily
more interesting to the people of that country. She
has been warmly received by the authorities, and
has been lecturing in different Presidencies to
' crowded audiences.
Presbyterian Union. —Drs. Begg and Gibson
still act the role assumed by the Junkins (“Theophi
lus ”) and Erksines, of this country. In the mean
time, one Established Churchman bids for reunion
with the Free Church. At the monthly meeting
of the Established Presbytery of Edinburg, the
Rev. Finlay Mathieson, of Buccleucli Church, cre
ated some surprise by announcing that at the next
meeting of Presbytery he would propose the follow
ing motion: —“ That the following overture be trans
mitted to the General Assembly:—Whereas it is
highly desirable that a reunion between the Estab
lished Church of Scotland and the Free Church of
Scotland should be effected, and whereas such
reunion can be successfully accomplished only when
the Legislature, by Parliamentary enactment, recog
nises the jurisdiction of the Church in spiritual
matters to be co-ordinate with the jurisdiction of
the State in civil matters, —It is humbly overtured
by the Presbytery of Edinburgh, to the General
» Assembly, indicted to meet at Edinburgh on the 23d
or May, 1807, that the General Assembly shall take
such steps, either singly or in conjunction with the
Free Church, as shall- procure such Legislative
enactment, and effect such reunion."—A keen dis
cussion in the Free Presbytery of Glasgow on the
Union question, terminated in the very decided de
feat of those w io were opposed, the vote being GO
to 5. Dr. Forbes moved an overture against union.
The principal speakers on the' the other side were
Principal Fairbairn and Dr. R Buchanan.
National Education is one of most vexed ques
tions in Ireland. The government and the Presby
terians favor the existing system of mixed schools,
with provision for denominational instruction of all
classes. The Episcopalians, with some • few. excep
tions, as (for a time) Arch bishop, Whately, join, the
Catholics in demanding separate sectarian' schools
and colleges.
Cardinal Cullen, in a pastoral, read in theßohian
Catholic chapels of Dublin, quoted a passage from
Miss Whatsly’s life of her father, in. which Dr
THE ■ AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY,' FEBRUARY! 28, 386 f.
Whately, referring to ihis own books prepared'for
tiie use of the national schools in-Ireland had said :
“ I believe that mixed education is gradually en
lightening the mass of the people, and that if we give
it up we give up the only hope of weaning the Irish
from the abuses of Popery.” —The special charter
admitting Maynooth students to Queen’s'Colleges’
examination and degrees has been declared illegal*
and Catholics must either themselves in the Queen’s
Colleges or go to London, if they wish a degree, and
cannot be admitted to the bar, or-to practice medi
cine without one.
FRANCE
New French Protestant Troubles— Our rea
ders will remember that the pastoral conference
lately convened in the South of France, decided by
a unanimous vote (seventy pastors' and' elders pre
sent), to ask. every Protestant voter: “Since you
present yourself as a sharer in the government of
the Church, by claiming your privilege to vote, do
you acknowledge the Bible as the Word of God, to
be the only rule of your faith, and the Apostle’s
Creed to be the abridgment of its divine revelations?”
aild the consistory of the city of Caeni'in Nor
mandy, resolved to ask each voter: “Do you ad-
here to the evangelical faith asitis contained in the
Apostles’ Greed?” By these decisions the disciples
of the negative school are indignant and irritated.
They proclaim in their journals and pamphlets, that
this measure is intolerant, tyrannical, odious,- —that
it is a return to popery—yes, to popery —and 'they
cry out for the interference of the civil authority to
suppress the decision of the Consistory of Caen 1 The
Church is- now divided into two hostile camps, which
will continue till next year; when the ecclesiastical
bodies are to be re-elected. ,
Galilean Liberties. —The Emperor is breaking
more and'more with the Ultramontane party, and
shows this by his eulogy of liberal Romanists and
his choice of M. Landriot to succeed M. G'ousset, a
decided ultramontane, as archbishop of Rlfeims.
The Jesuits are in sore trouble, as the strict surveil
ance of the press forbids the free utterance of their
bile, but are demonstrative enough to imperil their
continuance in France. They have come to grief in
the matter, of their wonderful miracle-stories, as the
arch bishop of Paris has compelled themto publish
a contradiction of one'marvel, and the cure of a
parish publishes another. ‘
Work for Christ.— The Six Young -Men’s
Christian Associations of France have in all 1200
members and are growing in strength and influence.
—Sabbath Sc hoofs introdueed by English Methodists
are multiplying,‘though long opposed by those Pro
testants who preferred the old system of the Cate
chizatioh of the children by the pastor. M. Monod
has adopted the new system in Paris, and is followed
by the Lutherans, who are very strong and active
there; but Nismes outnumbers any other district in
Sunday Schools.—The Week of Prayer was observed
by more numerous meetings, and in a more earnest
spirit, t-han in former years, though some would not
attend lest'they should be construed as endorsing the
Church .principles of the Evangelical Alliance.
Bible Translations.— Tlie Society for procuring
a national translation of the Word of God lias been
condemned by the Pope, but its Catholic members
hold on. It meets,every evening in Paris. Pere
Hyacintlie, in his fifth conference at Notre Dame
cried : “ Leave to us Jesus C)irist; Ileis better titan
all your inventions I Leave to us our old "Bible, to
teach our children how to -spell—the Bible which
created the art of printing! ibe Bibfe whieli civi
lized Europe!’.’
Intolerance at Rome.— The Pope and Antonelli
are not personally to'blame for showing by their
conduct to what absurdities any men will be led in
attempting to carry on a civil government on Church
principles. The correspondent of Evangelical Chris
tendom says of the expulsion of the Presbyterian
worship beyond the wails, “that great indignation
prevails among the British subjects in Rome on ac
count of this attack upon the religious liberties of
their northern fellow-countrymen. Mr. Odd Rus
sell has displayed a most commendable zeal and en
ergy in this matter, and has promised to stand by
Mr. Lewis in his'extra-mural place of worship. As
for Mr. Lewis himself, it is a peculiar satisfaction
that it has fallen to a man of such high ability and
decided character to represent the rights of Protes
tant foreigners in the very centre of Roman Catho
lic power, where such hardships have, from time
immemorial, been imposed on mind and conscience.
There is not a doubt but that the Presbyterian ser
vice, now removed to a locale immediately outside
the walls, of Rome, will only be put down by the
forcible imprisonment or exile of Mr. Lewis—a step
which, I trust, the protesting voice of our Christian
people at home will prevent. The Papal interfer
ence with the Americans is even more Serious than
that with' the Scotch, not only because the former
are more numerous in Rome, as on the Continent
generally now, but because the service is held in the
heart of the town, aud was instituted there by fa
vour, in return for the kindness which the Ameri
can Minister showed the Pope, during his exile at
Gaeta, in saving the Propaganda Fide College from
being turned into a common barrack.”
The Italian Church Bill, whose defeat has led
to a dissolution of the parliament, was a short
sighted measure to raise funds at once for govern
ment needs, at the cost of leaving the Bishops om
nipotent in the Church. It proposed to leave the
Bishops in the possession and unlimited control of
two thirds of the Church property, on condition
of their paying one third ($120,000,000) to the State
in ten years, and converting all real estate into per
sonal in that period, and paying all the pensions
granted to individuals at the breaking up of the
monasteries. It proposed to abolish tlie nomination
of the Bishops by the King and the formalities of
the oath of allegiance, the placet and exequatur, as
well as the privileges, the exemptions, immunities,
and prerogatives of the Church in the State. As it
would have placed all refractory priests at the mercy
of the bishops, tlie radicals joined the Romanist
party in defeating the bill, —a species of tactics not
unknown on this side of the Atlantic.
Reconstruction.—l taly is experiencing the re
sults of hasty and ill-considered measures in restoring
the status of rebels at heart. According to the
terms of Ricasoli’s noble and now historic circular,
in which the principle of a “ Free Church in a Free
State” is to be tried as an experiment with tlie Pa
pacy in Italy, the most reactionary hierarchs are
returning from Rome or other hiding-places to their
dioceses in various parts of Italy. Cardinal Sforza’s
condition, (whatever that may be), is accepted by
the Prefect of Naples, and 10l all the Liberal priests
who have stood up for free institutions of late years,
and done battle for the Government, and signed tlie
Passaglia address, fall into his excellency’s hands,
and'are cut off from all official duty and salary, and
left to beg thei'r bread. The newly-returned Bishop
of Guastallasets himself to banish the Evangelical
pastor from the town, and unseemly disturbances
are greeting, in different • places, the reinstalment
of these hated and unabashed prelates in their sees.
The liberals look askance and ask wliat Rome is to
concede in turn, and the Holy Father answers the
envoy, Tonello, that he will not acknowledge Victor
Emmanuel as King of Italy, nor accede to an aboli
tion of passports, or mutual extradition of criminals,
or a military or civil league between Rome and Italy.
A vast reaction towards intolerance has taken place
in the Papal councils, and “No surrender!” is the
order of the day, thus completing the parallel.be
tween Italy and what Ricasoli innocently calls “the
magnificent spectacle now witnessed in the United
States.” •

time had alarmed'his friends, is at Venice.' He

Marco for liberty!; as now; for Christ in the Evangel-

ical Hall. The priests summon all who hear him
or Appia, the Florentine Evangelist, to their paro
chial vestries, where they deal with the heretical
parishioner in a variety of ways, in the presence of
their parents and relatives. In every quarter of the
city evening schools and Sayings Banks are being
opened! The priests look askance at this.
The Scottish Bible Society sold in Italy last year
1,504 Bibles, 5,591 Testaments and 62,027 books.
The Waldensians support 22 missionaries beyond
their own valleys, or more than one .■‘or every thou

TIIE EAST.
The Armenians in; Turkey. —The effort begun
in 1831 by the. late Dr. Goolell to secure* reforma
tion of this, .Chuych from within, and .which; .was
frustrated for a tiriie in 1839, is at length bearing
fruit. The protestanfs who seceded from the old
church' iti 1847, already number 15,000 arid tlie cir
culation of. the; Biblp and religious'books -amo'ng
those who remained in the Church, has led the.whole
body to see that The teachings and practices of trie
Church are uhsdriptural. AH the pictures but one,
have been removed from the chtirches, and when
the priests/tried to introduce/images the people
smashed them. .Many priests of the “ Enlightened'.’;
party in tlie Old Church, preach evangelical doctrine
and this party have forced the Porte to deprive the
Patriarch of his temporal power and to' invest? it'iu a
committee of laymen. In Smyrna' and Constanti
nople they are especially strong and; confident, while
in the interior stricter lines are. drawn, and. re
formers have to secede and join the Protestant party.
Some of' the enlightened hold High Church’views,
but the majority demand thorough measures, and
have in press a prayer-book which they are-deter
mined to introduce into the Churches and which is
purified of the.old .superstitions.
Many enter into the scheme for political reasons,
as the prqtestantizatioh- of the Church will secure
English protection for the Armenians, the only
Christian sect in Turkey who have no friends abroad.
Tlioße who live near Zeiloon are to be deported from
the mountains to the plains for rebellion./'Haying
appealed in vain to the Patriarch, they then declared
that unless they were .protected they would all be
come Protestants—afterwards that they would all
become Catholics. Jesuit priests promised them the
full protection of France, The affair was not settled
at last advices. ' •
. The Greek Church in Turkey having secured*
civil constitution from the Porte, like; that granted
the Armenians, have forced their Patriarch tp re
sign his Office. He was elected as a liberal and a
patriot, but adopted another policy, and became tlie
suppliant tool of the Turks. The Porte-.,refused to
accept his resignation till the excitement among the
Greeks and perhaps a hint from St. Petersburg left
no, choice, And he was pensioned for‘life as a hint
to his successors. " .
Robert's College.— Although the, Turkish- Go
vernment, under trench (i. e. Jesuit): influence, lias
refused to carry out the terms granted to this insti
tution,.in allowing them to build on the site,pur
chased in' Constantinople, yet Dr. Hamlin has open
ed, it's sessions in buildings belonging to tlie Ameri
can Missipn and the number,Of students is now oyer
sixty. No more can be accommodated,in the .build-
ings. The Government has directed the American
Minister'to insist upon permission to build, or the
payment of damages. Lord Lyons, with his hearty
sympathy; for everything which is good, is co-op
erating with the American Minister. It is .quite
time that French Jesuits ceased to have tlie mono
poly of education in Turkey.. It is a significant fact
that the Bulgarians have already, left them to'cbme
to Rob -rt College; and if there were room enough,
Dr.-Hamlin, might have a hundred Bulgarian stu
dents at bhee, hebide those of the'cither thirteen na-
tionalities represented in the College. " The ages of
tlie'students are from thirteen to twenty,*nd.their
studies are similar to those pursued in colleges in
this country, and are nearly as .thorough. In the
languages, they study Turkish, Arfne'nian, Latin
and English. Two hundred dollarSi/aupport one
scholar a year, though some are admitted for one
hund red. Dr. Hamlin has at times .ten or a dozen on
the “faith list,” i. e. boys for whose support lie is
responsible uiitil lie can find some friend of the col
lege who will take them off his'hands. And yet
aside from the board of himself and'family, he re
ceives only enough to meet his expenses for clothing
and travelling, which amquuts to about s4oo..an
nually.”'
The “Avedaper." is the name of a little mission
ary paper published in Constantinople, where there
are now ten dailies. The subscribers, some 1,500 in
number, are scattered all over Turkey, from the
Balkans to the Koordisli. mountains, and even be
yond those limits. Not long'- ago a missionary
brother reported that the .Armenians of Moosh,
a city far off in Eastern Turkey, had opened there
a school for girls (a thing Before unknown in those
parts) in consequence of reading in the ‘Avedaper’
an article on the importance of female education.
Another missionary reports that a villager living
among the Taurus mountains was so impressed with
one of the sententious speeches of, our martyred
President, translated and published in the paper,
that lie committed the whole of it to memory, that
lie might fix in his own mind, and be able to teach
to others, its lesson of “malice toward none and
charity to all.”
