Episcopalian.—The quarrel between the Canadian House of Bishops and the clerical and lay synod has ended in a corn promise. The former wanted to make one of their own nunitier Ittestiop of siontr e m and Metropolitan of Canada. The latter insisted on the superior claims .of some much abler presbyters. They now unite on Rev. Ashley Oxenden, Rector in Kent, England. —Rev. E. R. Boyce, as a Low Church man, was granted the use of the M. E. church in Clinton, Wis., where be preach es once a month to a mission church. When the M. E. church at Beloit recently asked him for the loan of his church (St. Paul's) in that place (while their own was re paired) he gave a flat refusal on the ground that their pastor—Rev. W. W. Case—was no clergyman. No High Churchman would have been such a•snob. —A. Deaconess House has been opened at 9 Willard St., Boston, Bishop Hunting ton delivering the address. It is to train women for work in hospitals, asylums, prisons, and home missions. —An Episcopalian mission has been carried on for sixteen months in Salt Lake City, by Rev.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1869. Religious World Abroad. England.—The New York Tribune, of May 7th, says: "If the morning Tribune contained an account of Timour, the Tar tar, presiding at a meeting of the American Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals, it would hardly seem stranger than the report we read the other day in an English paper of the remarks of his Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, on taking the chair at an assembly at Exeter Hall, in aid of the American [United] Presbyterian missions [to the Copts] in Egypt. Certainly it is a striking reminder of the progress of Christianity that we find this ilindoo potentate, grand son and heir of the terrible Sikh conqtierof Runjeet Singh, who overran the north western portions of India; founded the kingdom of Lahore, and pushed his vie tories even into the mountain fastnesses of Afghanistan ; this king of „kings,' Who, if there is any virtue in a name, and a title, and a grand descent, ought, to ; busy himself with impaling converts, and burn ing widows, and such like games,—it is an eloquent commentary, we say, on the suc cess of Christian missionaries that we find this Hindoo not only accepting the Gospel himself but trying to stir us old Christians up to sending a little more of it into Egypt. So the Nile gets the Bible from the Indus, and a little company of American Presby terians, preaching God under the shadow of the Pyramids, find an advocate and helper in the representative of one of the oldest and most horrible of pagan supersti tions. The Maharajah, we should add, has long been a Christian, resides permanently in England. and is married to an English [Copt?] wife." —.Evangelical Christendom notes that the Christian public are approximating to the Apostolic ideal of missions in two respects, —the work is more and more undertaken and urged for the highest motives—love to Christ and to souls,—less and less from the lower motive of commercial advantages ac cruing. Also the churches formed among the heathen are being thrown on their own re sources as regards the supply both of money and ministers. —The lower House of Convocation in 1868 appointed a committee on the extent, evils and remedy of intemperance. This Committee numbering Deans Stanley, Al ford and others, have investigated the whole subject and made a report recommending the suppression of all beer-houses, (" sa loons" we call them;) the closing of all public houses (" hotels") on the Sabbath and at early hours on week days and the great reduction of their numbers; the cen tralization and careful management of the licensing system; the rigid enforcement of laws against drunkenness; the prohibition of bars at places of amusement and at elec tions; repeal of all duties on haradesi bever ages; local authority to restrain the issue or renewal of licenses. Over a thousand parishes in the Province represented by Convocation have neither public house nor beer shop, and the results are most excel lent. Ireland.—The dignitaries of the Es tablished Church have been holding a Gen eral Conference at Dublin, not to prepare for the effect of the hated Bill, but to or ganize resistance to its passage. The Pri mate presutett. itepeat of theumcm was threatened as an event of the immediate future and as a result of yielding to the threats and terrorism of the Fenians. —Cardinal Cullen has issued a pastoral deploring and denouncing the Agrarian murders which have "soiled the fair name" of Tipperary, and calling on the people to have patience as the Irish Land question will be attended to by. the Liberal Govern ment in a way that will greatly relieve them. —Several landlords and tenants have re ceived this notice: NOTlCE.—March.,lBB9. — Sir :—You have let to a heretic, [orProtestant ]a farm in this part of the country, but he shall never put his foot upon it, or he will never leave it alive. We will never allow a heretic to live amongst us. So if he puts his foot on these lands he will be shot dead. The ball is ready for him. This is no idle threat, so help me God.—ONE OF THE PEOPLE. It is such wickedness as this that keeps British capital out of Ireland, ,and con demns the land to perpetual poverty. France.—A Romanist commune in Dan phiny, have almost to a man embraced the Reformed Faith, and signed a document of adherence to the Reformed doctrine, - order and worship, after which they received (Oct. 27th, 1868,) the sacrament of the sup per after the manner of Protestants. The movement began on their own part in 1860,, when they had quarrelled with the dioce san authorities, but Pastor Fermand, (Pres ident of the Grenoble Consistory, for five years discouraged their advances and ex horted them to seek redress from the bishop, paying no attention to their urgent request that he would visit them or send an Evan gelical preacher. In the beginning of 1868 he sent a suffragan pastor, whose labors have resulted as above. The mayor and nine of the ten councillors acquiesce in the change. —The intrusion of rationalistic pastors. on an old orthodox flock of Huguenots at Vanvert in the South, and the refusal of the liberals to allow the pulpit to be open ed to a fuller gospel, have led to asecession. A new church costing 60,000 francs has been built and paid for, and was dedicated March 11th. The people are mostly poor but in earnest. —The last "convert from Protestantism" was made in an hospital at Epinay, where a poor sick Protestant while laboring under mental aberration, was converted by a Romanist curd in less than a quarter of an hour and baptized. —The Rationalists of Neuchatel have been too candid. They recently published a programme demanding a religion with. out theology, a church without a. creed, and God without system. Their brethren in Paris are sorely embarrassed, as they must either offend their flocks by accepting this basis, or offend their more liberal brethren by refusing it. —The Paris Pastoral Conferences are to discuss' public worship and its just modifi cations, and the Christian conscience. • Jubilee of Pius IX's Ordination was kept: with great splendor in Paris. As the priest is supposed to be married to the church at ordination, this may be called his "golden wedding." —The Ultramontane press make no dis closures as to the matters to come before the Ecumenical Council. The Civility Oath olica of Rome alone divnlges the fact that the 'pereonal infallibility of thei.Pope .as judge in matters of faith (not as ruler of the Church), and the Assumption of the Virgin, will be the topics under discussion. The decisions may be guessed, and will yet more make Mary the centre of the "Church's" worship, and the Pope the centre of her order. —Napoleon will allow French Bishops to attend the Ecumenical Council if they choose, and advocate there whatever prin ciples they choose. He has not yet decided to send lay delegates—as requested—to re present the nation and its government. lie dreads to appear too compliant. —Peter is taking the sword as of old, in spite of the Master's warning. Collections to supply the Pope with arms are being taken up throughout France by local com mittees. Brittany and La Vendee alone 'contribute 54,000 francs. Spain.—The amendments to the consti tution designed to defeat religious liberty brought out the whole strength of the Ro manist opposition. Many of the bitterest were among the Reforming or Neo-Catho lics—who are always Reforming but never Reformed. Prof Castellar made an espe cially eloquent and powerful speech in re ply to these, having been appealed to by them as Professor of History in the Cen tral University. He showed that a policy of toleration had always been exercised until about a century before the Reforma tion. He told bitter truth about Papal wickedness and persecutions, and said that he had searched amid the ruins, ashes and churches of Rome for one atom of religious faith and found only deceit and doubt. He branded the Romish Church as the patron of darkness, barbarism and anarchy. He told of his feelings at visiting a colony of Spanish Jews in Italy, whom the intoler ance of Spain had exiled. -The new Protestant church of stone in tasteful gothic with open-work spire has been opened in Madrid. It seats some 900, and all seats are free. —At one stand in the city nearly 100,- 000 Gospels have been sold to the people. Seven prayer-meetings are known to be held in private houses. A Spaniard of position told an Evangelist, " I know of ladies who went to your service to laugh, but came out crying." —Volunteer agents in every province and of every profession are at work in the dissemination of Gospel truTh and a pure literature. Through them the London Rel. Tract Soc. has sowed broad-cast 500,000 tracts. —Two converted Spanish Jews return with the Word of life to the land which banished their fathers, being sent out as Evangelists by a London Society. =ln Seville ' the working classes are so eager to hear the Gospel, that,half a dozen pastors might find work. One hundred and eighty communed on Good Friday, being mainly members of the old hidden Reform ed church, which existed before the Revo lution. Germany.—Superintendent Mein hol d— a High Lutheran—bas been removed from his otfice—btit 'not his pastorate—for the disrespectful terms in which he spoke of the Ober-Kirchen-Rath in an address to the King. Hengstenberg and his party have made a great outcry as if Herr Mein hold were suffering for his Lutheran prin ciples, while Rev. Herr Schiffman is allow ed to preach the rationalistic creed of the church. The authorities think it safer to ignore the latter than to excite public sym pathy for him by his removal, —the Protestant Union has established a branch at Breslau, the headquarters of High Lutheranism. Its avowed aims are Congregational church government, oppo sition to all hierarchies, full toleration of all opinions inside the Church, and "the promotion of true Christian life." Schenkel is their_chief [and they have an organized branch in America, with a score or more of chUrches and pastors in our large cities.] —A Committee for Spanish Evangeliza tion has been organized in Berlin, under the presidency of Count Egloffstein, and contributions for the erection of the new Protestant church in Madrid are being so licited. - - —The General Synod of the Church in Wirtemberg—where Pietism most abounds —has had a very harmonious session. The question of preventing the growing .seces sion to Methodists and other dissenters, without 411reitching on religious liberty, was discussed. It was agreed-that it was only possible through satisfying all there-ligious wants of the people in their own Church. --- The Brethren ofJerusalein,—a millen=- arian and communist sect in Wirtemberg —have sent out a colony to settle in the Eloly Land. The leaders have asked a grant of land from the Sultan. [They exist in America, have an organ in Schenectady, and a congregation with occasional preach ing in this city.] —The need of more churches in North Germany is felt on every occasions or. which the people feel especially. .drawn to divine service. Recently private rooms were used on such occasions, as on GoodTriday. —On the occasion of the Pope's Jubilee a monster address to the Pope was got up and many signatures (including the King of Saxony) secured for it. How they were multiplied may be judged from the order of the Austrian Minister of Education forbid ding signatures to be collected in public schools among the pupils. • Bohemia. — The Quarterly Conference of the Relormed Church met in Prague, in April, to arrange for the sending out of a delegation to the United States. Rev. Mr. Von Tardy, Upper Church Councillor, and Rev. .Pastor Kasper, were commissioned and started, via Liverpool, expecting to reach our shores in time for 'the Assern blies. —A. delegation of eight persons recently waited on Pastor Van A.adel asking him to come and preach in a district where not a single ProteStao is found. :He Complied, not knowing this fact, and whenr he was aware of it and told them that they 'were not allowed•. to open Protestant services in such places, they avowed their readiness to leave the Romish Church and become Pro testants. They have service in a hall which they, have hired for six months. Italy.—The distribution of the Scriptures at the Paris Exposition begin to bear fruit in Italy % as it has roused the Italian Protes tants to do something in the same service. They propose to send a million gospels into Spain. s —The Bishop of Salerno is to be prose cuted for, offensive language used in regard to the goyal Government in a recent pas toral. —The Romanist communes were closely fleeced by, the Pope's collectors, who brought all pressure to bear to multiply their gifts on occasion of his Jubilee. —The priests are swing no efforts to sieze on the children of Protestants, An Italian lady has been sentenced to impri. son ment for trying to take her daughter from a monastery. The orphan of a %Val densian at Florence, has been handed over to the priests, because of an informality in the will, by which Pastor Ferreti was made her guardian. —ln Venice twenty-six new members were received to the Church on Easter Sun day, after low:, instruction in the Bible. A priest who had gone back to Rome and was received with touch rejoicing and many promises, is now reduced to such misery, that he writes to Pastor Concha for a certi ficate of character in order to obtain some employment. —ln Sicily a new church at Messina re ceived thirty to membership on Easter Sunday. The place of worship is crowded and the poor people send chairs from their houses and oil for the lamps. They have erected an elegant pulpit. —An employe of the government lottery has given up his place, and with it all visi ble means of living, that he might join the church at Palermo. —The National Parliament has passed a Bill which puts an end to the exemption from conscription enjoyed by candidates for the priesthood. This will reduce their number greatly. The vote in tae chamber stood 223 to 25. —A Bible meeting was recently held in Naples, at which it was reported that the British and Foreign Bible Society has sold nearly three hundred .snd fifty thousand copies of the Scriptures, valued at $250,000. Most of them are taken by Catholics. In Sicily the colporteurs are fully protected by the magistrates. Increasing efforts are made to promote education among the peo ple. A public opinion is beginning to be tbrmed against the prevalence of duelling. A public convention is to be held in Naples on the Sth of December next,in opposition to the Pope's Ecumenical Council at Rome. Sandwich Islands.—There is trouble in the Reformed Catholic Church. The only congregation worth mentioning is in Hon olulu, as the "Deans . ' and •'Archdeacons" at other places preach to a mere handful, or to the children of their schools. The Honolulu people are alarmed at the pro gress of ritualism, and almost unanimous ly request theS. P. G. to recall their present clergy and pledge themselves to support a "low church" rector if sent then, but they want no bishop: Queen is One of the few who remains faithful, but the King has expressed his wish that no cathedral shall be erected on the ground given by his brother and predecessor. The Government have suppressed with the strong band the revival of distilling in one•district which threatened:to lay waste the field of the Gospel. JUST RECEIVED.
