The Irish "Region Donors."—ln the Irish
Presbyterian Church. an agitation has commenced
which may yet lead to important consequences. It
would appear from hints thrown out in several
quarters, that the .Government are favorably dis
posed to the endowment of the Romish priesthood
if they could only calculate on a sufficient amount
of public support, and that some of the dignitaries of
the Irish Established Church think this step might

conciliate their enemies. In the Presbyteries of Bel
fast and Ballymena, notices of motion were lately
given, calling upon these bodies to ask their General
Assembly to memorialize on the subject, and to de
clare that it would rather see all endowments with
drawn, including its own Regium Datum, than the
national support of all sects without respect to truth
and error. The mover in the former Presbytery has
been induced to withdraw it as premature ; but a
discussion has been begun in the latter Presbytery,
where one speaker stated that he had reason to be
lieve that Lord Naas, the Chief Becretary of Ireland,
was concerned with a pamphlet issued by a Church
of England clergyman advocating the endowment of
the Roman Catholic Church. Further discussion
has been adjourned for a month; but Rev. Dr.
Cooke, and other leading men in the Irish Presby

believe of Philadelphia, has given $1,400 for the
erection of other needful buildings. A convention

protested against Mr. Beecher's going on his pro

to be erected, and a professor from the North will
take charge, but for the present one of the churches
is occupied, and it is a somewhat ludicrous sight
to see a row of young ministers, every one with
primer in hand ; and already licentates too. Ima
gine the feelings of the teacher in calling on Rev.
Mr. to spell w-o-r-l-d, and Rev. Mr. 7 -- to
spell b-e-a-s-t, a word by the way on which the
whole class in this theological school tripped."

posed union of the New COnnection and the Free
Churches was discussed, showing'-the advisability of

tant Church."—The amount asked for as a centen
ary contribution was $2,000,000. Seven conferences
gave $2,600,000. •,
Wesleyan Nethodiit.—The "Methodist" says:
The Wesleyan body is undergoing a process of dis
integration. In recent numbers of the 'American
Wesleyan,' the Rev. Drs. Lee and Prindle have
taken leave of their old associates. Dr. Prindle
presents some startling facts of the decline of the
Church to which he has devoted so many laborious
years. In not a few cities the Wesleyans have be
come extinct. In New England, where i in 1843-6,
nearly fifty ministers were stationed, they have not
had, for the last ten years, more than from five to
eight appointed to Wesleyan churches. For several
years there have not been ten appointments in the
entire connection that gave a competent support to
their preachers. Some of the Wesleyans will no
doubt unite with Congregationalists, others with the
(late) Methodist Protestant Church, and still others
with our own. The elder ministers, whose early
life was spent with us, will be naturally most inclin
ed to return to us. They may be certain of a hearty
welcome."
Death of a Philadelphia Pastor.—Rev. J. Gor
don Maxwell, rector of Emanuel Church (Prot. Epis.)

liunterdon County Grand Jury, bills of indictment
were found against several clergyman—members
of the Lutheran Synod of New Jersey ; who are al
leged to have 'published a libel against the Rev. P.
A. Stroble, of New Brunswick. The alleged libel
grows out of the censure, upon Mr. Stroble by the
above named gentlemen, acting as a committee of
the synod to examine certain charges-`against his
character. The trials are set down for the fall term
of the courts. •
Lutheran Churches in Philadelphia.—The
churches of Dr. Rutter and Stork are just now
enjoying more than the usual amount of spiritual
prosperity.. The former, at a recent communion re
ceived an accession of twenty-sight, eighteen of whom
approached the Lord's table for the first time. It
is spoken of as the most solemn sacramental season
ever observedin that congregation. On Sabbath be
fore the last forty-one persons were added to Dr .
Stork's church, fifteen of them on profession. This
is a comparatively new enterprize, about to com
mence the erection of a church edifice on the corner
of Broad and Arch streets. We record the tokens
of Divine favor toward these churches with more
interest because of their leading position on the
Evangelical side in the Lutheran Church divsion.
Swedenborgian.—Rev. Thomas Worcester, P.D.'
senior pastor of the "Boston Society of the New
Jerusalem," has resigned his late pastoral charge.
He was one of twelve who organized the society in

came the pastor. For the past few years Rev. James
Reed has been associated with him in the ministry.

Church party, while the late. Prof. Bush and, since
his death, Rev. B. F. Barrett of this city have been
at the head of the Low Church.—The number of
Swendenborgian worshippers in seventy-four Ameri
can communities is stated at three thousand seven
hundred.
Unitarianism has had a feeble existence hitherto
in the region South and West of New York. The
church of Dr. Furness in Philadelphia has dwelt
apart for the last thirty years. Lately, a new church
has been opened in Germantown. In Wilmington,
Delaware, a movement has • been made. In Vine
land, New Jersey, a church has been built, and a
minister is called for. In the present month, a con
ference of all these churches has been held in Dr.
Priestley's old church in Northumberland, Pennsyl
vania. It was then reported that in Alexandria,
Virginia, the cause shows some signs of life.
" Wilkesbarre promises well, though but one Uni
tarian family is known there," and Scranton is about
to choose a minister. Baltimore has a church, and
a minister famous for his advocacy of the running
of. Sunday cars. These are almost all the stations
enumerated in this great region, crowded with popu
lation, and dotted with towns and cities. Among
the many evangelical churches in this territory the
Unitarians seem like the conies—"a feeble tolk."
Roman Catholic The total number of priests
in British North America is 1814, and of Bishops
22, two of whom are Archbishops. Quebec has
288; Montreal, 238 ; Three Rivers, 99 ; St.. Hya
cinth, 109; Kingston, 44; Ottowa, 56; Toronto,
39 ; Hamilton, 30.—Archbishop Spaulding of Bal

and the Right Rev. John Timon, D. D., Bishop of
Buffalo, died April 15, aged 72.—Six French priests,
besides Sisters of Mercy, have been added to the
Popish mission in Madagascar, which is now as
strong in European agency as the Protestants but
it congregations are not one-eighth as large.—Bish
op Randall, P. E., of Colorado, says that he found
that field, which he supposed to be entirely fallow
and neglected, already filled with Romish laborers.
The Jesuits had long been at work. Splendid
schools and academical institutions are in full opera
tion. State money to the amont of $30,000 had been
granted to them. "Most of the Protestant young
ladies of Denver City and neighborhood," he says,
"are the regular pupils, and the next generation of
Colorado bids fair to be educated with as intense
hatred to our reformed religion and free institutions
as are the hidalgoes of Spain or. the peasantry of
Connemara."—The Roman Catholics are making

Mantauria. They began their work in the face of
danger and of death, and are at the present time
pressing forward with increased zeal and prosperity.
Generation after generation of these men live and
die in China, that they may win the ,empire to the
papal church, and their work goes on from century
to century.
