Religious World Abroad. GREAT BRITAIN. Presbyterian Union in England.—At the re cent meeting of the Synod of ,the English U. P. Church, a delegation from the English Presbyterian Synod was present to urge the propriety of a union of. the English Churches without waiting till the Free Church of Scotland shall have been able to satisfy the scruples of Dr. Begg and the other Scot tish " watch dogs " of traditional orthodoxy. It was felt that a fruitful and harmonious union could eas ily be effected in England, and ought not to he de layed. The U. P. Synod complied with the sugges tion, and raised a Committee for separate negotia tions, but with the promise that they would not consent to cease acting as an integral part of the U. P. Church of Great Britain, Odense's Successor.-The Tory Administration seem not to have dared to their promise, that the royal warrant for the ordination of new Bishop of Natal ,Would be issued in dike: form.—The Bishop of Capetown has gone back to Africa, taking the Bishop elect with him. It is said his heart is sad at the faithlessness of Government officials in general, and of the Colonial Secretary in particular. He finds great difficulty in getting his various projects safely through the shoals of ministerial navigation. Politics and Religion.—Church-going English men have,been experiencing the horrible fate im agined by Rev. SidneysSmith,—" being preached to death by wild curates." The pulpits of the Estab lishment have been ringing with eulogies: of "little Benjamin" [Disraeli] who is held up to public ad miration as "a second Joseph," while Gladstone and his allies are denounced as allies of Rome and of Satan... In Ireland several-Presbyterians have come forward as Liberal candidates for Parliament and advocates of disestablishment, to the horror of the old-style Tories, who believe in the Protestant peace. One of lie four candidates for Belfast (an elaer) received such an amount of support from the leadiag ministers of the denolnipation that_theCon-- servatives resorted to Ihangusual expedient' ofgetti ng the venerable Dr. Cooke, who, is lying on his death bed, to address an appeal o the Protestant electors to vote for their two candidates. He published a fare well address', stating that they will hear his voice no more, and making the support of the Conservative candidates and of the Irish _Church a duty which the electors owe to their country, their religion, and their God. The genuineness of the document has been called in question, and even the old man's daughter has entered the field to vouch that it 'is not a forgery, and that she saw her father revising the proofsheet. This lady's letter has been publish as an advertisement in the local organs, and is now placarded on the walls of Belfast. It is insinuated that she may have been the writer of the original letter; but whoever may have penned it, all who have ft rogard to the memory of the dying man deplore its appearance. Quakerism on the Increase.—ln several places in the rural districts of Westmoreland and Craven (in North-West Yorkshire) there is now taking place a remarkable conversion to the principles of Quakerism. In some villages the inhabitants gath er together by scores to worship in silence, with the occasional exhortations and readings of Holy Scrip tures. Very few members of the Society of Friends are resident amongst these converts, but six or eight Friends visit the new meetings occasionally and stir up the brethren. Some of the local Meth odists and others have been compelled to establish prayer-meetings every night to prevent their mem bers from being attracted to the new Quaker folds, and increase their zeal for the old communion. This results in good to all parties. The -.district of the Lakes and Dales has for two centuries been a favor ite locality for Quakerism, but of late years it had very much fallen -'asleep thcre-:—" The Prien/W First-day (Sunday) School Association report that the annual investigation made' by the Committee into the numerical condition of our schools shows that there were in Third Month last, 77 schools in 64 places, with 1,095 teachers, and 12,474 scholars. In their report of 1854 .when the total number of our scholars was about 3,000, the Committee point ed out that it would not be beyond the possible teaching power of Friends in Great Britain to in struct 20,000 First-du scholars." Evangelicalism in Oxford.—A. recent report that the entire body of the undergraduates at this University are ritualistic in sympathy and opinion, has elicited some facts to the contrary. An average of upwards of thirty young men meet weekly for prayer 'at the house of one of the most evangelical of Oxford rectors ; many meet daily for the same pur pose in one another's rooms ; some half-dozen or doz en conduct a Sunday-school,_which numbers sixty scholars; a society, bolding similar views,-distri butes tracts weekly in many of the villages round Oxford; and the rector gathers, once each term, at his house, from 100 to 150 undergraduates. The Irish Presbyterian Church, besides at pre sent establishing churches at the watering-places and the great tourist resorts, has appointed a mis sionary to Alexandria, in Italy, and another to Vienna, both in connection with the Jewish mission, but to take advantage of all openings for spreading the Gospel ; has designated a clerical and a medical missionary to commence a mission in' China at Neuchang, where Mr. Burns died; and returns her late Moderator to India, accompanied by a fresh missionary for the station there. There are now fifty-six colporteurs employed and training for their special work. They pass freely through the sk.uth ern and western counties, meeting many welcomes, large sales, and,on the whole, few rebuffs. Once a year they meet at their provincial centres, pass an examination, and receive words of encouragement and counsel. Some of them assist in prayer-meet ings; most of them find ready opportunities of reading the Bible to Roman Catholics, and the col porteur's pack has been sometimes opeoed in a con vent. The necessities of trade have drawn Roman Catholic workers into Protestant neighborhoods, and the opportunities of farming have" drawn Pro testant settlers into Roman Catholic `districts and, as.this interchange of population goes on, there is a fusion that can but issue in the wider spread of evangelical truth. Ecclesiastical LaNiluits and Troubles.—The prosecution of Rev.:W. J. E. - Bennett of Frome fOr teaching the Romish heresy of the real and visible presence of the body and blood of Christ, in the ele ments of the Eucharist, has not yet come before the Court of Arches.—Rev. Chas. H. Voysey, the loosest theologian in the-church of England, is to be prosecuted for denying , about half the fundamen tal doctrines of the Christian faith. Father Ignatius recently anathematized him from the pulpit, and taught the congregation how to spell 'the name of the heretic, so that they might be, the , better on their guard against chdrchi'was recentlyopened at Brighton for the conven.ence of those who pre fer the Church Liturgtto extemporaneous prayers, but cannot conscientiously remain in the Establish ? ment.

The Bishop confesses his impotency, and says the memorialists may prosecute Mr. Purchas in the Court of Arches, a proceeding which cost from £1,500 to £2,500. THE CONTINENT. French Protestantism.--There are some sad indications of the growth of Rationalism in the established churches. One pastor, hitherto thought orthodox repudiated the doctrine of plenary inspiration, and said that it has now few par tizans among them, and that the sceptical school was likely to lead the future. The Ra tionalists,propose the division of Paris into five reformed churches, each having its separate consis tory ; they are petitioning the minister of Public Worship to that - effect ; they have also broached the Matter in relation to the Lutheran Church in Paris. But the plan meets with too much opposi tion to have success at present. Of course they ex pect that, out of five consistories, some would be rationalistic: The wa'r between the orthodox and rationalists often descends to gross personal iries and pitiful details, not to speak of the bitter language indulged in.—The Synod of the Free Church es met at the commencement of September in Ber gerac (Dordogne); 44 churches were,representet&by 66 delegates ;au some foreign .delegate-iisitors, were there. They !Meted the reconciliation of par ties in two churches of the Union, one of which had been_cut off from fellowship on, account of tis intestine' brciils. Ten 'posts of. evangelization are sqpported by the union. Funds are lqw. It sup ports five of its fifteen theological student§ at Gene va and Lausanne. Christian Work in Germany.—" About eight years ago, Mr. Woodruff, a merchant of BrociklYn, with the aid of a retired Breinen merchant, estab lished, f), Sunday school -at Bremen..As ,the result of influences - thus set' in Motion Since 1861; 'B5 schools. have been established in. Germany and Ger man Switzerland. Here is the net result., In Ger many sixty-six schools, with_ nine bundred and eighty-one teachers and eleven thousand two hun dred and ninety-nine scholars ; in German SwitZer land, nineteen schools,. with f.wo hundred and twen ty-two teachers, and two thousand three hundred. and fifty-three scholars. Such, were the figures at the beginning of the present year. As the schools have been prosperotts-oClate'i ttie94.statitit t ias iiiadequate- ; ly represent their present numbers. This Sunday school movement upcontinually gathering strength as it moves on. Ardent friends are here and there, springing up."—Dr. Anderson, in' Watchman and Re-' Actor. . The Austrian Clergy.—lt will be remembered that when the liberal laws on the subject of mar: riage,.education, &c., were,enacted, and-relActantlyl signed by the Emperor, the Pope itistruefedtis-pre lates to treat them with contempt. A very unsatis factory- explanation was. afterwards offered. to; the Austrian 'Government, 'Which subsequent events have shown to have meant nothing at all. The Bishops, in accordance with their master's order, set themselves in opposition to the laws, as their Church was wont to do of old: but this time with out very flattering success. Five of the contumacious Bishops are to be prosecuted as disturbers-of, the peace; one of whom, the Bishop of Linz, is called l i to account for declaring-in a "pastoral letter," that the Constitution of the realm waa" a work of the devil "—implying, of course, that, as such, it must be resisted—and the others for persistent violation of the plain provisivs of the laar. The Archbishop- Cardinal of Vienna, orders his prieSts to refuse` all abiolution to those who are civilly married, even if they be in danger 'of - death. 'Every time,' says the Bishop of Brund, in an evangelical circular written with his own hand, 'every tiwe that you will have to register the birth of a child horn from parents who have been married before the civil authorities, you will erase the words legitimate child.' " Theerical Question, (says Le Phare de Loire) is t e artier of the day all over-Earope. With us everybo y knows what point it has reached i the last processions of Corpus Christi may serve as a thermometer to it, and the next' elections will take care to furnish us with unmistakable.indications for the future. In a small parish of Corsica, called Luri, things have taken quite an vexpected turn. The inhabitants of that locality, liTivi ng,sonie grounds of complaint against their priest 4 have, unanimously resolVed to abstain.from his ministry.. They no more go to his church 5 they are born, married, and. bur ied without the services . of the cure, being ever re quired by hisparishiohers; •It:is really an excom munication reversed. It is a sort of interdiction going up stream." Religious Liberty in Spain.—A correspondent of the London Times, at Madrid, states that the En glish residents in that city applied to the Revolu tionary Government fora plot of ground. whereon to build an English church, thesinall room set apart an the ground floor of .'theßritish Legation affbrd ing barely decent accommodations. Through Col. Fitch they made application for a site on the Calle del Arena].. The cable informs us of the success of their application A previous 'similar application ,tb the Local'Junta at Seville was answered as fol lows: , " This Junta has this day (0ct..2c1) decreed to grant you the permission which you have solicit ed, to establish a chapel,in ,which the individuals of the Protestant faith can carry on their. religion in the fcirin their worship prescribes." The appli cation-was Made by the AmeriCan Consul,Mr. John Cunninham, a Scotch merchant of high standing in Seville, , . A'correspondent of The London Times writes:—"l fell in the other day with.a priest, the narrow spabe :between ndiose temples, roundprontinentforehead, broad chin, and marble brow constituted Spanish type. .He had gone out to Morocco as a Franciscan missionary; he had fallen in with an English layman who had discussed with him the merits of their respective creeds ; he had , been won over to Anglicaniszn, , had gone to Gibraltar; and was preparing, to go to the United States; when upon hearing of the Revolution and of the proclaimed freedom of creed and Worship, he conceived the bold plan of coming to Madrid as the apostle of Evan gelism. He is this very day to : reach before a very large strictly Catholic congregation at Arganda, a few leagues from Madrid, and purposes to explain to his audience what construction should be put upon those words, freedom of conscience.' If he NA not stoned to death, he may be Wailed as an apostle." The Jesuits' Suppression in Spain.—The Pro visional Junta, before its dissolution, suppressed the Society Utile jesuits throughout Spain and the Span- WI islands; ordering its colleges and institutions td be closed within three days from the date of the decree; and declaring its movable and immovable property sequestered to the State. The costly pro perty accumulated at the shrine of "Our Lady of Atocha," (to whom, on one occasion, Queen Isabel la gave a crown of jewels worth over half a million of dollars, and whose entire collection of treasures is said to be worth at least five millions of dollars), has been 'seized, and will; be used by the government. The - Cutting off of his' eiormoui annual subsidy from Spain, will ten4o make the Pope hereafter less easy in his money matters.—A letter from Bel gium says: "The Jesuits established at Bruges have pet purchased , large property there, probably-to 'afford quarteriLfOr , :some of. the Meinbers , or that order now expelled from Spain,. of ,whom it is said about 150 intend taking shelter ill BelgiUm." The Bible in Spain.—The fact is brought out by ,the revolution which had been before.keptpriyale, that a society 'had long existed in EdinbUrgh for the diffusion of the Bible in Spain. It is called the Spanish EvingeliiiliOn;SObielyilaiiii.it has in thir:. feen letirb klistribdteil tens , o thousandwatoopicstof the Scriptbrett,lantiAliundtedii of' ,thaiiattbdifklf other religious publications, through its agents, who have been all the while at work in the very heart of the country. Its yearly income has been four or five thousand dolars. Many of its books have even been printed in Spain, of course very secretly. Now that the country is thrown open by the new government, and religious labors are destined to be perfectly free, the British and Foreign Bible Society is promptly preparing to possess tne land. An English paper informs us that already "large supplies of the Span ish Scriptures are collected at the frontiers, arrange ments are being made for the establishment of de pots at the chief centres of population, and a cohort of col porteurs are ready to march through the length and breadth of the country as soon as the promises of complete religious freedom are made good by law."—An English letter from Madrid says: "Our Protestant fellow-countryinen are not likely to let the grass grow under their feet. Distributors of Bi bles and tracts have already begun their operations in the great cities, and two bold Britons have been seen giving the sacred volume to people in that very `Plaza Mayor,' where not more than a century ago the population of the city sat down to enjoy what was then the favorite national holiday—an auto- da fe of heretics and Hebrews.' . '—The American Bible SOciety, at its last meeting, made a grant of Bibles for Spain, to go through the hands of the American and Foreign Christian. Union, who already have an agent in that country. The only other grant of bles for Spain, to be found on the records of the.so-' dielY, Was made in thelyOr abquethiftY years: ago. A' box of Bibles was forwarded' by a gliip - bound to' a Spanish port. But the captain became' so uneasy, as they drew towards their port, with`the fear of having his ship and cargo confiscated for having Bibles onboard, that at last lie had the bOx of Bibles brought on deelt, lashed some'heavy stones to - it, and sunk it in the sea, and that wdi ;the last of it. Disestablishment Ur ed in India.—Tbe ,t,ln dian Government. has-jn. given ten thousand.ru pees for the repair of St. mil's Cathedral in. Cal cutta.

Jackson, Twenty,two years since they were first introduced into this country from Germany, during which time . ..they have undoubtedly yerformed more cures, and benefited suffering humanity to, a greater extent, than any other remedies known to the public. These remedies will, effectually, cure Liver Complaint, v Ja u n d ice, Dyspepsia, Chronic or Yervons De bility, Chronic Diarrhtea, Disease of the Kidneys and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver, Stomach, or Intestines. - • DEBILITY, Resulting from any ,Cause whatever; PROSTRis TION OF THE SYSTEM, induced by Severe Labor, Hardships, Expo sure, Fevers, &o. There is no medicine extant equal to these remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is imparted to the whole sys tem, the appetite is strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach digests promptly, the blood is purified, the com pleiion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicated from 'the eyes, a bloom is given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous' invalid becomes a strong and healthy being. PERSONS ADVANCED IN LIFE, And feeling the hand of time weighing heavily upon them, with= all its attendant ills, will find in the use of this BIT TRRS, or the TONIC,, an elixir that will instil new life into their veins, restore in'a measure the energy and ardor of more youthful days, build up their shrunken forms, and give health and happiness to their remaining years. NOTICE. It is a Well-established; fact that fully one-half of the fe male portion of our population are seldom in the enjoyment of good health; or, to use their own. expression ' " never feel well." They are lan guid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous, and have no appetite. To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the TONIC, is especially recommended. WEAK AND DELICATE CHILDREN Are made ationg by the use of either of these remedies They will Mire every man of MARASMUS, without fail. Thousands of certificates have accumulated in the hands of the propritor, but space will allow of the publication of but a few. Those, it will be observed, are men of note and of such standing that they must be believed. T . ESTIMONIALS. Hon. Geo. W.
