March 18th inst., the Chapel of Bellewood Female Seminary, near Louisville, Ky., Rev. W. W. Hill, Principal, was destroyed by fire. The South Protestantism in New Orleans, says The S. IV. Presbyterian, is about 50 years old, and the Presbyterians alone have six thriving churches.—Memphis, Tenn., contains four Presby terian churches and a fifth one is about to be or ganized. One elder of the First has charge of a white and another of a colored Sunday-school—the latter numbering 200 pupils.—Rev. Henry M. Smith, D.D., has resigned the charge of the Third church in New Orleans, a pastoral relation which has existed for twelve years, with a view to devo ting his whole time to the editorial department of The Southwestern Presbyterian, recently started in that city.—The Southern churches sent, during February, to the Committee of their General As sembly for Foreign Missions S7DI 88 ; and for Mission schools in China, from Sabbath-schools, $351 38. . • Re-union.—The Presbyterian contends that a un ion is not desirable merely to build up a great and powerful. Church, but "a union is wanted which will economize force, prevent unseemly 'rivalries, concentrate the energies of the church, and aug ment its resources—a union in the blessed work of preaching the gospel of Christ to- the world, and converting and sanctifying the nation."—Two weeks ago the Rev. W. L. Breckinridge, D.D. addressed a letter, in The Presbyterian, to Dr. Musgrave, in quiring whether he believes there is such an agree ment in doctrine between the Old and New School Churches, as to justify; re-union. Dr. Musgrave re plies in the affirmative, in a very able letter pub lished in The Presbyterian.,--The The says : " Nowe'We don't believe that The (I!hilacielphia) Presbyterian wishes the New School to relinquish or deny the right, to all reasonable liberty in the statement of views'," etc., nor do we believe that it is opposed to the liberty which the Joint Commit tee interpreted their language in. the First. Article as intended to secure. We, may add, that, if breth ren of the Philadelphia Pastoral Association' are determined to take The (Philadelphia) Presbyterian as the exponent of the Old School, they would show more fairness to that paper if they would base their action upon a broader view of its opinions. That paper has written much to show that it is ready for re-union on fair, equal, and fraternal terms." We rejoice to hear' it, but regret that all the copies of The Presbyterian which contained the liberal utter ances aforesaid, , must, in some way, have-been mu tilated before they reached this office. We have never seen them, and would rather have Dr. Greer ",speak for. himeelf.",: . Foreign Items.—Both the English and United Presbyterians are diligently seeking earnestly to carry out evangelistic work. One of the elders at a recent gathering, Mr. J. E.

On the first occasion of the Sacrament of the Lord's. Supper there were forty seien communicants;' and on the second about sixty. During the first four months the place of meeting was small , and overcrowded; but after that a larger hall, vacated by the French Protestant congrega tion, was'aecured.—The Free Presbytery of Edin lkiighhad till recently a church in St. Heliers, one of the Channel Islands, but has transferred it to the English Presbytery of London. The latter body re cently' sent a Coil:mission to ordain Rev. J:J. Muir to the pastorate, in pursuance of a call made out by .a majority of the congregation. ,Two elders and two deacons who denied the legality of the transfer and therefore of the call -locked -the- doors of the church.

"He preaches repent ance, regeneration, faith in Christ, holy living and self sacrifice with much pungency and directness, and barring an occasional phrase, his sermons to the impenitent do not differ materially from those of the common run of preachers." [Mr. Lyne when younger, once preached all over Scotland with no small measure of acceptance, though clad in his Benedictine robe. Only in one place was he stopped from holding forth, and that was by a Free Church minister who closed the only public hall in one town against him, because he had said that " Christ died for all men."]Fifty-six livings in the Church of England are in the gift of Roman Catholic peers, and many more in the gift of Romanist commoners.
