Itelisdolls World Abroad. Great Britain. The Bishop of London's Fund, established five rears ago, by the persevering efforts of the present Primate, is growing in extent and in effi ciency in carrying the spel to the neglected m oor of the metropolis. Of the £1,000,000 to be ra ised in ten years, £350,747 has been promised or 1 ,,,id. The staff supported at present numbers 24 curates to assist the rectors of large parishes, 47 cura t e s in charge of mission enterprises ; thirty seven Scripture readers, and nineteen mission wo men. In the seventy-seven districts taken in charge, eighteen churches have been built, and five more ar e going up, while seventeen more are contem plated, and as many local church erection commit tees are at work raising funds. Special attention is l aid to the needs of the number driven out of one district by improvements, and the erection of public works, into more thinly settied`Placee.. We are glad to see that our. Presbyterian breth ren in London are not idle in' this 'Matter." Evan gelistic work occupies a prominent' place in their - resbyterial discussions, and Mr. Liukh M. Mathe son has purchased the Whitefield Chapel, Wilson Street, Drury Lane, and has handed it over as a gift to the London Presbytery, in order that it may form a centre of erngelistic operations in a most densely-populated • d vice-stricken locality. Chinese Missions and the House of Peers. —The recent interference of the English consul in protection of the British missionaries at Yangt chow, China, has led to a notable discussion of the subject in the House of Lords. It will be remem bered that several members of the Independent Medical Mission, whose members have no home constituency to appeal - to for permanent support, and who live as nearly as possible in conformity to all national Chinese usages, had hired a house in Yangtchow, and were fitting ,it,up for missionary purposes, when they were attacked and grossly maltreated by a mob of natives, wbo broke into the house and destroyed their furniture. The con sul threate,ned to bombard the town if the ring leaders were not punished, and compensation offered to the wronged, and his prompt. action secured im• mediate justice. The Duke of Somerset, calling the attention of the Peers to these facts, represented the missionaries as of the London Missionary Society, and indulged in the sort of ignorant flippancy in regard to mis sions, which is not unknown in Republican coun tries. Earl Clarendon, in replying for the Govern ment, expressed some regret at the speedy, red tapeless method by which justice had been done, and expressed the hope that missionaries would be content to follow in the wake of commerce, not to outrun it. The new Bishop of Peterborough (till lately Dean Magee of Cork) replied to both in a stirring and eloquent speech, pis first from the bench, repudiating the idea that British subjects were not entitled to British protection because they were missionaries, and reminding the House that some branches of British commerce, such as the opium trade forced on China, were not exactly the kind of pioneers for missions to follow in the wake of. He paid a touching tribute to the spirit of self-sacrifice shown by these ministers of the cross, and contrasted it, with his characteristic irony, with the politic selfishness that would leave them to their fate. Lord Shaftesbury made a speech of a far less manly and noble tone, giving especial prominence to the fact that none of .the great recognized mis- sionary societies were responsible for the Yangtchow missionaries and their [presumed] indiscretions. The discussion has done.much to bring missionary work before the public, and to lead to fri e ndl y and, un "nv disemmip:. Tk„ thac missionaries are, of all men, least fitted to judgp o f the religious systems they intend to overthrow, and therefore least competent to approach the heathen. Other journals gravely propose to compel all the missionaries to coins home. The Spectator, whose editor resided for awhile in India, strongly con demns these flippant attacks, and bears decided tee, timony to their efficiency and usefulness. Driven off from his first attack, the Duke of Somerset retracted hi schargee upon the London Mis sionary Society, and called attention to a. case in which the English consul at Formosa had been very forward and officious in defence of the Eng lish missionaries. The Government replied [what was true] that his conduct was unjustifiable, and that he had been dismissed from office. Religious Statistics.—ln Great Britain, to a population of 24,363,000 persons, there are 36,200 ministers of all denominations, with 34,700 churches and chapels; an ordained minister to every 673 of the population, of whom not more than 350 can be expected to be present at public worship at any one time. Sabbath Question in England.—The question of opening museums and galleries of art on the Sabbath, is being again agitated in the British House of Commons. A delegation of nearly two hundred clergymen, and more than one hundred laymen, have already called upon Mr. Gladstone to protest against the proposed Measure. They pre sented a memorial which is temperate in language, and expresses "the common belief of the people that one day in seven has been set aside by Al mighty God forever for rest and worship; that from an early period of our history, legislation has been in harmony with this belief; that it is only a little knot of persons who desire to have museums and galleries opened on Sunday, there having been 629,178 petitioners against this proposal, and only 24,066 in its favor, when they brought it forward in 1855 ; that the opening o f these places of recreation on Sunday afternoons would draw away young peo ple from Sunday schools, and much discourage Sabbath school teachers; that the opening would deprive a very large class of deserving public ser vants of their rest and religious opportunities; that it would inevitably lead, as it had led in other countries, to the subjection of the people to labor on all days alike • and that the true way of benefit ing the working elatises in this matter is to secure the opening of the British Museum, the National Gallery, and other similar institutions in the even ings of the week." Mr. Gladstone, while guarded in his reply to the deputation, expressed himself respecting the importance of the religious observance of the Sabbath, and also that, in a moral, social, and physical point of view, " its observance was a duty of absolute and vital consequence." Later still, a deputation of working men waited on Mr. Bruce on Monday, and urged very strongly the opening of such buildings, declaring, at the same time, that they were opposed to the opening of theatres and places of amusement. They wished to be able to go to museums to improve themselves in the knowledge of their trades. One of them said that the reason why the work of English gold smiths had to be finished by continental workmen, was, that the English workmen could not cultivate their tastes by spending Sunday in picture galleries and museums, while their brethren on the conti nent had that advantage. Another deputation, headed by the Earl of Shaftesbury, and accompa nied by a number of workmen, appeared in. opposi tion to the proposal. A third waited on Mr. Bruce to oppose, on Sabbath Observance principles, the passing of Mr. Hughes' Bruceon con nection with the two former, expressed his personal feeling, as he had done before, to be decidedly in favor of the opening of museums and galleries, but added that the Government would be directed in the matter by public opinion. Mr. Gladstone's Bill is regarded as unjust to Irish Presbyterians, in the folloWing respeds, specie THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1869. fled by the Presbytery of Newry, in recently adopted resolutions : " 1. That whereas the bill proposes to give com pensation to the holders of any archbishopric, bish opric, benefice, also to permanent curates, diocesan schoolmasters, clerks, sextons, and curates only in temporary employment up to the date of January 1, 1871, it makes legislation retrospective in its ap plication to Presbyterian ministers, fixing the date in their case to March 31, 1869. 2. In providing for glebes and ministers' houses on easy terms for minis ers of the Episcopal Church, when there is no such provision for ministers of the Presbyterian Church. 3. In providing compensation for unemployed cur ates of the Episcopalian Church, when there is no compensation proposed for the probationers of the Presbyterian Church, who hold a position exactly analogous to unemployed curates. 4. I❑ providing that the future Episcopal Church shall be incorpo rated with power to hold lands and other property, notwithstanding the statutes of mortmain, when no similar provision is made for the Presbyterian Church. 5. In overlooking altogether the equita ble claims of the widows' funds for compensation for about $5OO per annum accruing from the pro portion of Regium Donum between the death or re signation of ministers, and the appointment of their successors." Irish Roman Catholics also protest against the injustice of leaving one half the rev enues of the national Church in the hands of " the Church of the aliens." The Irish Opposition to Disestablishment, the dying effort or the Orange Association, (a cor respondent writes,) "is waxinglouder,'noisier, more clamorous and furious. Meetings are being held in all the dioceses of the Church to protest against what the speakers at them term the contemplated sacrilege, spoliation and confiscation. Orations by the hundred yards, and as fierce as frothy, are daily delivCred i and petitions by feMales to the Queen— and by the clergy and curates—are getting up with a rapidity, and a generality, that is really somewhat remarkable. A Protestant ' Indignation meeting' to ' protest against Mr. Gladstone's Spoliation Bill,' is to come off in Dublin some day this week. And to give the greater effect to their denunciations; the high flyers of the Church party, with Major Knox, the unseated member for Sligo, at their head, have begun to agitate for a separate Irish Legislature— in other words, they will prefer the repeal of the Union to the disestablishment and disendowment of their Church. It is only among the Episcopalians that this rampant'opposition exists. The Presbyte rians are behaving themselves most quietly and ex implary. Instead of clamoring and threatening as badly as any Fenians, they are soberly and manful ly preparing themselves for what they see is inevit ably approaching. A Sustentation Fund similar to that of the Free Kirk of Scotland has been begun, and we have no doubt. that ere long they will throw off their long debasing and enervating dependence on the public Treasury of Britain, and begin a new and vigorous career of Christian willinghood that will transform them from a by-word and a reproach into one of the most liberal working churches of Christendom." The Feottish Presbyteries have many topics of importance before them. A bill is on its paseage through parliament, leaving religious education in parish schools to the local managers, thereby intro ducing the English system of separate or sectarian education into Scotland. Many of the Presbyteries give it a general approval. The Established Pres bytery of Edinburgh disapproves of the bill as not absolutely requiring any religious education. The Free Church Assembly's Commission disapproves on these and other grounds. The Free Church Presbyteries continue their overtures to the Assem bly to issue a declaration of the Church's spiritual independence; which Dr. Begg and his friends are [it is charged] inclined to waive or compromise. Rev- Ri= Mreleriefr (the no v moeic tt-u- eepeointly-a.Lla apcmcit, in the Presbytery of Edinburgh on the subject. He said that in one aspect—as against Rome's usurpations —be would stand by the Royal supremacy, and warned Englishmen that Scottish opposition to Erastianism did not imply (as Englishmen often suppose) any sympathy with the hierarchical pre tensions of 'the Hildebrands of the past or the present. The Established Presbytery of Perth joins that of Forfar in petitioning the Assembly to take measures for the Reunion of the Presbyterian churches of Scotland. The Continent French Protestantism.—ln a recent paper in the Revue des Deux Mondes, Albert Broglie depicts Protestantism as foreign to the national genius, both in thought and style. Protestants (he says) are ignorant of almost everything beyond their own circle. As Protestants, they are of the past. "lie is a Protestant" means to most ears, he is stiff and cold. It is impossible for such to reach the masses, so they fail of inspiring a Protestant enthusiasm, and hope to save the nation through a long and toilsome education toward the truth." The paper has caused great indignation, none the less for its telling much unpleasant truth. The Free Church party disclaim being such prigs, and boldly avow their sympathy with the popular movements and feelings, "We have an ally in every man's bosom ; consciously or unconsciously, every man longs for the Gospel. Principles of pro gress and liberty in priest-ridden places, are also our allies." The organs of the Reformed (ortho dox) and Lutheran churches of France predict great changes in the present conflict of truth and error, by which the followers of Christ and of Anti- Christ will be divided into hostile camps by more strictly-drawn lines. They accept the impending division of Church and State as a preliminary to this. The Y. M. C. A. of Paris numbers some 250 members, but only 70 Frenchmen. Both this and the provincial branches are showing new energy, and life in their'appropriate work. Mr. Guinness's preaching, in four different quarters, continues to be greatly blessed.' The Central Evangelization Society report that they have built thirty new churches, established regular worship in thirty-six towns and villains, and started thirty-one schools under pious and competent teachers. • A Belgian Convent Case.—The Chronique of Louvain says : " A. nun belonging to one of the best families of the neighborhood was placed by the lady superior in a damp underground cell. She had been several days in confinement when, from the narrow opening by which her prison received a little light from the garden, she succeeded in attracting the gt tention of a man working there, who consented to procure for her writing materials, and to convey a letter to her brother-in-law. The latter, on receiv ing the communication, went to the convent and asked to see his sister-in-law, but was informed that she was in religious retirement and could not be seen. He returned three hours later accompaaied by a commissary of police, whom he left outside and then repeated his demand ; he received a similar re ply, but he insisted, and the superior at length be came evidently embarrassed. He then opened the door to the police officer, who compelled the direc tress to accompany them to the cellars under ground, where they found not only the lady in question, but also five other nuns confined in the same manner, all of whom took advantage of the commissary's presence to quit the establishment and return to their friends." The easels are to come into court. The Protestant Church in Madrid still contin ues its services in spite of threats of assassination. Don Francisco Ruet, the earnest preacher, it may be interesting to recall, was converted to Protestant ism in Turin. In 1855 he was imprisoned for preaching his views in Barcelona, but was subse quently pardoned on condition of- his leaving the country. He has been in exile ever since, until the revolution, when he. returned to bless the country that repudiated him. Protestant Evangelism in Spain.—The Span ish Evangelizetion Society, which worked so secret ly and so persistently before the re volution in Bible distribution, through tourists, Protestant merchants, ships' captains and crews, and through Spaniards who attended the Presbyterian services at Gibral ter, has reached almost every seaport with the open preaching and distribution of the Word of God through its paid agents within the last six months. It has also established at Barcelona, Madrid, Ma laga, Cadiz, and Seville, central agenciesand depots, from which to reach the surrounding country. Through ifs colporteurs and evangelists Protestant ism has gained a firm hold in many quarters, no tably in Andalusia. The first consistory of the Reformed Church of Spain was held at Gibralter one year ago, an ex- Priest (Cabrera) presiding. The moderator, in his opening o address, enumerated the hopeful signs which indieated . the speedy approachi of better, freer, and purer times in Church and State in Spain, words which received a marvellous confirma tion when, in the early fall of the Barrie year, the same Senor Cabrera received from Prim the assu rance that Spain was open to the gospel and the Bible. Under the auspices. of, this Society, he trans ferred his labors from Gibraltar to Seville, where the first Spanish - Protestant church was opened Dec. 27th, in . which the word of life has been preached to tot FesS than 12,000 Souls.;' and where several ,Protestant baptisms and marriages have been celebrated- Thus a city, once the chief seat of Spanish mariolatry; now Vies 'with Madrid as a principal stronghold of Spanish Protestantism. The people contribute freely, through the deacons, for the expenses of the church, and for th:e support of the poor and the sick. Their house will hold 500 worshippers 5 but one four times as large is needed and would be filled. In Malaga Don Pablo San chez.is preaching to densely crowded, houses. In Don Antonio Soler has gathered a'-"congre gation of from 800 to 1,000, to which he. preaches in the house of an English gentleman, being the first to preach an uncorrupted gospel in this old Moorish city. In Ardhal the candidate,• Padregal, reads the Bible to immense congregations, and is soon to complete his study and begin to preach. The Society have begun the work of. printing at Seville, and . have" already issued Some' 20,000 vol umes. They will probably soon begin to issue a • newspaper. Of the agents of our own Ainerican and Foreign Christian Union, we learn that Senor Alonzo contin ues his work at Seville, preaching to ,audiences of not less,than a thousand. He has rented a room in .41, poor quarter, where the simple people are greatly attached to him. He has dedicated the "Christian Union Cliapel of Seville." here he has two services and Sabbath School on the Sabbath, and preaching on Thursday evening l l and night school for adults on other week days. A political club which occupies a disused Catho lic Church in a leading street, called on him to ad dress them, and he took the occasion to offer them " the liberty wherewith Christ hath , made them free," and when he closed his address he found the President in tears, and the people deeply moved and urgent to hear more. The Eco of the Society proves a most efficiert preacher to the masses, each weekly 'number containing a sort of Protestant dis course. It is as yet distributed gratuitously. The mining regions above Hueloa send continual ap peals tor a Spanish preacher, but are only supplied by the Eco. Mr. Hall is trying to prepare men fOr the labors of the gospel in the fields which are white on every hand. Representatives of cities a hundred miles distant cnine toSeiille to learn lio* to organize and start Sabbath Schools'. Four priests of.the town preached against Pro tege-awn. tnereby causing -so much inquiry and discussion that the Archbishop suspeifided them for their pains. No less than forty families were lost to Rome by this assault on the missionaries. Pious II Scolding.—A. recent History of the Reign of Napoleon Ill" by M. Olivier, has caused no small sensation in ecclesiastical circles, through its containing a letter addressed some time since by the Pope to Mgr. Darboy, Archbishop of Paris, a man of broad rational or Galilean tendencies. He had made a speech denouncing the Ultramontane practice of carrying every petty case to Rome for decision, and of lightly appealing from the decision of every lower church authority to the Papal court. He asserted that even a Papal decision was not to be obeyed till sanctioned by the proper legal author ities. The Pope's letter, which must be taken as in dicating his course in the coming Council, sharply rebukes Mgr. Darboy for his• Erastianism. He de nounces his opinions as "erroneous, contrary to the authority of the Church, opposed to the well-being of the Faithful ;" "for the supreme authority of the Church and of the Apostolic See can never, in any way, be subordinate to the will of the civil power in anything which relate's to ecclesiastical affairs and the spiritual government of souls." A Free-Thinkers' Ecumenical Council.—A letter from Florence says, that it is proposed to hold a meeting of. " the Free-thinkers of the whole world" in Naples,- wlaich• is to 'assemble on the same day that the -(Ecumenical Council meets at Rome. Count Ricciardi•, having written to inform Garibaldi of the project, has received a short re ply, in which the General says, "May God bless this holy enterprise." The terms of the .reply ap. pear to have disconcerted the • " Free-thinkers" somewhat, and the narrator of the incident con soles himself with the reflection that it is impossi ble Garibaldi can have invoked the Almighty .‘ in the same sense as the Pope or Antonelli,' A Universal Jewish Synod is expected to be held in Germany, while the Romish Ecumenical council is in session at Rome. The main object is to get rid• of the sectarian divisions which separate this ancient people into Zoharites, Talinudists, Re formed, &c., &c., and to give them some sort of or ganic unity for, purposes.of co-operation and disci pline.• The Synod is.called by the moderate men, who neither bind themselves to accept all the Tal mud and traditions, nor yet with the worldly and godless Jews, cast it behind their backs. Three eminent Rabbis of this party presiding over syn.,- gogues in Berlin, Berne and Cassel have signed the circular, but the conservative Jews hesitate to unite in a Synod where the Talmud may have to take its chance of a vote. The Jews in Spain.—Since 1492, when Ferdi- nand and Isabella issued their decree expelling the Jews from the country, no Jews had ever been permitted to publicly worship in Spain, but since the late revolution, several synagogues have been opened in Madrid, and Jewish worship is con ducted. Foreign Missions. The English Baptists in Northern India.— The Missionary Herald of London gives the results of their work : "In Northern India, fifty-six native churches have been formed, in all of which native brethren fulfill many of the duties of pastors. But completely organized churches are very few. Two churches only can be considered as independent; one in Calcutta, and one in Jessore. The Calcutta church, under a native pastor, numbers about fifty members, and has actively exerted itself for the spread of the Gospel in Calcutta. The second inde pendent church is at Kudumdi, in the district of Jessore ; the number of members is small, but the pastor has been able to support himself from his own resources. The devastation of the district South of Calcutta by the cyclone of 1864, and again in 1867, destroyed all the resources of the people, and de ferred efforts for independence. Their dwellings and chapels were leveled with the ground; their fields swept bare of crops; their granaries and the con tents were carried away by the tempest; and many lost their lives in the fury of the storm. Some years must elapse before prosperity can be restored, or they can be expected to renew their efforts for self support. The largest number of converts and churches is found in the districts of Jessore, Back ergunge, and Delhi. In these localities the mis sionaries have endeavored to organize the churches on the Scriptural model, and to induce the members to assume the responsibility of the support of their pastors, and the maintenance of the means of grace." Education of Hindoo Women in Southern India.—A Mohammedan priest recently visited a missionary with the request that he would furnish a Christian teacher to instruct a school of Moham medan girls, offering to supply a room, and a small monthly stipend.—The Free Church of Scotland has 730 girls in its nine schools in Madras, and 480 in Bengal. In Bombay there were 430 girls last year in their schools. The reports for this year have not been received.—The United Presbyterian Missionasy Board appeals for aid, to send a lady who offers herself to Zenana work in India, and whose salary is already pledged by a benevolent Christian. Ihe Abyssinian Church.—Dr. Hurst writes to The Methodist: ''A patriarch, styled Abouna, stands at the head of the Abyssinian Church, which is in communion with the Coptic Church of Egypt. The Christians of Abyssinia claim to be descended from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, and that they were converted to Christianity by an eunuch, a prime minister of Candace, Queen of Sheba, who, as Queen of Ethiopia, was instructed by the Apostle Philip, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. The historical fact seems to be that the kingdom of Ethopia received its Christianity from a mission sent by A.thanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, A. D. 335. The creed is substantially like that of the Greek Church, but many of the ancient Jewish rites and ceremonies are retained, including circumcision, the service of the tabernacle, observance of the Sabbath, and abstinence from the blood of animals, and from pork. Baptism, the Lord's Supper, the keeping of Lent, and fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, are strictly observed. CHARTER 1829 PERPETUAL FRANKLIN FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY PHILADELPHIA.

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Aided or gray hair is soon restored to its original color with the gloss and fresh ness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall ing hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can rest he hair where the follicles are de stroyed, or the glands atrophied and de yed. But such as remain can be saved for nsesulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment it will keep It clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or fal ing off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleteriouf substances which make scats preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C. AYRE & CO., PRACTICAL.

The reputation this excellent medi- Ina ebjuys, is derived from its cures, may of which are truly marvellous. vererate cases of Scrofulous disease, 'here the system seemed saturated ith corruption, have been purified and trail by it. Scrofulous affections and isorders, which were aggravated by is scrofulous contamination until they ere painfully, afflicting, have been tdically cured in such great numbers a almost every section of the country, that the public scarce].) need to be formed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism under mines the constitution, and invitee thelattack of enfeebling or fa tal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed Infection throughout the body, and then on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tu mors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is advisa ble, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflictede with the following complaints generally find Immediate relief, and at length, cure, by the use of this SARSAPARIL LA : St. Anthony's Fire. Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and ether eruptions or visible forme of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed forms as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilep. Sy. Neuralgia. Minute Directions for each case are found in our Almanac, sup plied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by ac cumulations of extran-ous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver. and Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the rankling poisons in the blood. This SARSAPARILLA is a great restorer for toe strength and vigor of the system. Those who are Languid and List less, .Despondent, Sleepless, and troubled with Ner vous Appr.hensions or Fears, or any of the affec tions symptomatic of Weakness. will find immediate railer and convincing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
