N. S. Beman, D.D. writes as follows to the Evangelist : It may be of little importance to anyone, but I may say it—and I do say it, sin corely and frankly — that I am for re union; and I would not have the work postponed for the de parture from the living Church of any of those brethren, on either side, who aefed in the Gen eral Assembly in 1837. lain hot willing to con fess before the world, that there is not sound Presbyterian orthodoxy enough,'and piety enough, jn the two bodies to harmonize and act in a con sum mated union hero, before we meet in the sublime union of “ the General Assembly and Church of the first born” in heaven. But if some of us are to live to see that event, we are desirous of giving our voice in favor of it, and to pray for its consummation before the hour of our departure comes. There will be an anthem on earth and in heaven when that wished for union shall be effected on Christian principles; and lmppy are those who are prepared to join-in high seraphic strains in either world—either in song on earth or the shout in heaven.- 31 on hoe Presbytery, Mich,, celebrated its thirty-third anniversary at lls. meeting in Adri an, September 3d. ffligim litfalligetttt.

J. Deßooi, a native of Hoi land, were received in an irregular planner, without certificates and in opposition to the representations of Her. Mr. Vandermeulen, Stated Cierk of the Clussis, with which the church has been connected. De Rooi, it appears, was hot-a member of any eccle siastical body but had been preaching to-this church. The Clussis had for some reason refused to allow the church to prosecute a call for his services. This, the church regarded as arbitrary and unfair treat ment and hence they had recourse to the 0. S. Pres bytery. The Presbytery first received De Rooi and alter an unsuccessful”attempt' on the partof the church members to t procure their certificates they were recdocd without certificates, and the organization of the church completed at once, by the election of four rul ing elder* and four deacons, “ The Christian Intelligencer gives a column to the case ami declaims, that the factshas‘reported in' the Presbyterian —“prove conclusively that a Clasßis and Consistory of our Church were treated as though they had a right neither to the courtesy; nor the fair dealing of a rapacious body of Old-School .Presby terians, impatient to accomplish an act of ecclesias tical violence. Within the past few years there have been seve al instances of unrieighborly and unfrater tuil Intrusion on the part of some’Old-School breth ren upon the rights of onr Church, but none that we remember so gross as the one described above."

But outside of the Pan Handle are forty-nine counties, all of which, except a few on the extreme north-east, are embrac ed within the hounds of the Presbytery of West Virginia. Here, then, is a Presbytery two hundred miles wide, and three hundred long, embracing a population of 300,000 souls, and with only six Pres byterian ministers actually preaching in its limits. United Presbyterian. —A correspondent of the Christian Instructor says that the Treasury of the Home Board is empty. A debt of about $9OOO is pressing and some of the missionaries are literally asking for bread; also that the’Foreign Board lias scarcely any less want. Heavy rates of interest are paying for borrowed money. Some mission aries are living in tents because they have no house. A new missionary is ready to go. But there is no means adequate to the necessities of the case in the Treasury.

It says: “Our pre sent calculation is, that twenty-eight Classes at least may be depended on, as likely to sanction the Syn odical recommendation. But there is spnie ground for hoping that. thirty-one Glasses will .cast their votes in the same way;—leaving the Classis of New York in a minority of one, if, indeed, it should covet that honor,., in tbei-belief,.that the growth of the Church here \e. sufficiently encouraging, while losing three congregations in a-year.” In answer to a correspondent it proposes for a new denominational title: The American Reformed Church.

Mr. Mac gregor is the owner of the boats that at present carry passengers from Leith to Aberdour on Sunday, and promised to discontinue the running of his on certain conditions, one of which, apparently, is that the other boat (the Garibaldi) is also to cease run ning; but this the owner, Mr. Jamieson, we believe, says he will not do. The Sunday running of these steamers was under the consideration of the Town Councils of Leith recently, when the practice was generally condemned. OTHER DENOMINATIONS. Baptist. —Rev.

The Evangelical Movement in England.— Coprolite Diggers —A Missionary among these persons writes to the Revival:■ —Many have been the kind inquiries about the little wooden sheds built for the welfare of these sons of toil. It has been my privilege this summer time to visit once more some of the places where they congregate. The fossil strata are now found imbedded in the sandy soil of Bedfordshire; the demand for the material produced by grinding these foesils to powder, and which is used as manure for the continental vines, is still im mense. and is such aa to bring into use the work not only of strong men for digging, but of women, girls, and boy 8 to pick out the stones from the sand. Sin in its most painful forms has : been developed here, unrestrained by even a warning voice. Toiling month after mouth in fields away from the eye of the passer-by, women and girls mingle among lewd men, till even their very voices lose the tone of wo man-hood, and “ Drink, drink,” becomes their cry. It is to this dark spot my heart is turned, praying, if it be the Lord's will, I : may be instrumental iii in troducing mission agency at once to meet the urgent need. . ... Newcastlp-itpon-Tyne.

Now they have .become common. We read them on the. walls of school rooms, and we hear Brother Ignatius preach from them in fervent declamation. Some of us were present at the delivery of two sermons by this cler gyman, on consecutive Fridays,- at the church in Lombard street (1.15 —2.15 p. m.) ; The first was “Jesus only,” for the unconverted; the second, “Jesus only,” for the converted. Whatever there may be besides, the truth,, at both times, was un doubted and outspoken. We live.in, strange times.

Those who have used this remedy know its value; those who have not, have but to make a single trial to be satisfied that of all others it is the remedy. The Rev. JACOB SECHLER, well known and much respected among the German population of this country, writes as follows: — Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Son, Boston: Dear Sirs:—Having realised in my family important benefits from the use of your valuable preparation— Wistar’s Balsam op Wild Cherry —it affords me pleasure to recommend it to the pub lic. Some eight years ago, one of my daughters seemed to be in a decline, and little hopes of her recovery were entertained. I then procured a bott e of your excellent Balsam; and before she had taken the whole of it there was a great improvementin her health. 1 have, in my individual case, made frequent use of your valuable medicine, and have always been beuefited by it. I would , however caution the public against imposition , because there is a good deal of spurious Wistar's Balsam of HVZd Cherry afloat throughout the country. JACOB SECfILLER.
