THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 18GD. OTO RELIGIOUS COLUMN. Nevrral Ilurman Wnnilrr. The following descriptions arc extracted from the journal of Kcv. A. T. Rose, as published In the Missionary Magazine: Opposite the great M in goon pagoda is a beau tiful piece of wooded land, covered with mango and oilier trees, called Nau-dau-Kwon, the royal palace Island. Hero it Is said the great Bodau king built n Fplcndid palace, where he orient a part of bis time, while the great Mingoon pngoda was being erected. As wc hugged close in to the chore, wo found the current very swift, and at one place there was a fall of about two feet over a reef of rocks, as I supposed, extending sonic distance into the river. I was informed, however, that this reef was the remains of an old pier, that Mipportcd a royal wharf of solid ma eonry that led down by regular steps to the water, even nt low -water mark. The steps lead ing up the high bank were roofed in the gradu ated style; at the top of the steps was a spa cious open building, of brick foundation, cov ered with the inevitable graduated roof, termi nating in a l'yot crowned with the Tec, all supported by massive teak pillars, heavily glided. The v hole work was guarded by two immense griflins, corresponding with those directly oppo site, on the west bank of the river, near the Mingoon pngoda. Men are now living who re member tliis tine work, and who belonged to the "royal loung" that used to convey the former king to and from this pleasant retreat: but the little Himalayan drops, the fingers of time nnd the lingers of men, have combined to leave noth ing but the ( bris of the monuments of kingly pride and power that once graced this beautiful spot. Mingoon Tuyah, however, remains u huge and pitiable absurdity a re licet Ion upon the head and heart of its royal founder, accord ing to our notions, but a monument of noble de sign, pious devotion, and magnanimity of soul, viewed from the Burmese stand-point. This pagoda was commenced about 1780-5, by the great-grandfather of the prcseut king, and the work continued about twenty years, when it was stopped, with the structure only half completed. Had it been fluished, It would have been nearly 500 feet high, with a square base of nearly 250 feet. It is now, as it stands, less than 200 feet high. It was terribly rent, and - very large frag ments thrown down, by the great earthquake thirty years ago. Probably nowhere in all Asia is tin re to be found such an immense pile of solid brick and mortar. The bricks and ma sonry, it would appear from the fragments thrown down, were of excellent quality. Mr. Hose then gives the follow ing extract from a work by Captain Yule: "North of the temple (described above), on a low, circular terrace, stands the biggest bell iu . Burmah, the biggest in the world, probably. Russia apart. It is slung on a triple beam of great size, cased and hooped with metal: this beam rettiug on two piers of brick work, in closing massive frames of teak. The bell does not now swing free. The supports were so much " shaken by the earthquake, that it was found necessary to put props under the bell, consisting of blocks of wood carved into grotesque figures. Of course, no tone can now be got out of it. But at any time it must have required a botteriug ram to elicit its music. Small ingots of silver (and some say pieces of gold) may still be traced, un nicltcd, in the mass, and from the inside one sees tho curious way in which the makers tried to strengthen the parts which suspend it, by dropping into the upper part of the mould iron chains, round which the metal was run. Its principal dimensions are as follows: External diameter at the lip, 10 feet 3 inches. Internal diameter, 4 feet 8 inches above the lip, 10 feet. Interior height, 11 feet 6 inches. Exte rior height, 12 feet. Interior diameter at the top, 8 feet 6 inches. The thickness of the metal varies from six inches to twelve, and the actual weight of the whole mass is, by a rough calcula tion, about eighty tons. According to Rev. Dr. Howard Malcom, whose authority is probably Col. Burncy, the weight is stated in the Royal Chronicle at 55,500 viss, or about ninety tons." Mr. Rose adds: "I would only remark that if we take the lower estimate, that of Major Yule, of the weight of the Mingoon bell, which is eighty tons, we make it 179,200 pounds, which is 07,200 pounds heavier than the great bell at Peking. If we take the estimate of Rev. Howard Malcom, D. D., Colonel Burney, and tho Bur mese Chronicle, and call it ninety tons, we have 201,000 pounds, or 89,000 pounds more than the great bell of Peking. It would seem from the above statement that Brother Knowlton will have to come to Burmah to see tho largest bell out of Russia." HI AIM All Y OF CHI'RCII NEWS. METHODIST. At the Wesleyan conference at Hull eight young men applied as candidates for ordination. They were all successful iti passing the pre scribed examination. The members of the Wisconsin Methodist Conference have resolved to investigate the amount of money expended within their respec tive charges for the purchase of intoxicating drinks, and then to preach on temperance. The members of the Methodist, Congrega tional, and Presbyterian churches of Warsaw, N. Y., latelv united in communion services, on the Lord's day, in the Presbyterian house of worship. On Sunday, the 22d ultimo, a new era com menced in Milwaukee Methodism, in a union love feast in Spring Street M. E. Church. There are ten Methodist churches of dilfereut nationalities in the city, and nearly every one was represented. The popular vote on lay delegat ion, as re ported to the editors of tho several Methodist papers, now reaches about 150,000. aud not more than half tho Church has been heard from. The Methodist estimates that the vote will reach 275,000. It may reach, or even pass. 300,000. It still stands more than two to one for lay delegation. The Southern Methodists have three colored conferences. Rev. Thomas Taylor, the geueral superintendent of this work, says that the one last formed 'embraces some of the best preach ing material in Kentucky," not less than titty preachers, and a large and increasing member ship. The Memphis Colored Conference has ordered the establishment of a Colored Christian Adcovateat Memphis, of which Dr. Samuel Wat son is to be the editor, who says his aim will be to make his readers 'consistent, exemplary . Christians, worthy members of the Church of their choice and good citizens." Tho Cincinnati Conference began its session August 25tu, Bishop Ames presiding. The ter ritory of tho Coulerence embraces tiie fourteen southwestern counties of the State, comprising a population of about 000,000. There are about 170 travelling and 200 local preachers in the Conference, with an entire membership, re ported last year, of nearly ao.OOO. There are 850 churches, which, with the parsonages, nro esti mated as worth l,78a,O00. The S47 Sabbath schools coutaln 84,840 scholars, in charge of 4i55 otllcers nnd teachers. Tho entire contribu tions of the Conference last year amounted to io,ua', oi u iiiuo uur au average of 7 member. per episcopal. Kcv. nr. luuie, t.piseopal Bishop of tho Diocese of Montana, will reside in Salt Laka City. The Iter. V. w. tnvA n n nt n.imimM Illinois, hag accepted the rectorship of Trinity Church, Davenport, lown. The trial of Mr. Tate is to be recommenced. On tho 17th of August a new court was drawn, and, after four names had been struck off by the accused, tho following remained, constituting tiie court: Revs. Samuel Maxwell, E. C. Ben eon. William Bower, L. Burton. I). D., and N. R. High. The Bishop designated Dr. Burton to be the President of the Court. Mr. Tate took ex ception to the Bishop's action in leaving out the name of Mr. Lobdcll, who had left tho diocese, and protested against any construction of his presence at the proceedings which should com promise his rights. On Sunday, the 15th of August, says the Church Journal, at the Santce Mission chapel, In the northwestern comer of Nebraska. Bishop Clarkson, of the Episcopal Church, ordained to the deaconatc two Indians Philip Johnson and Christian Taopi and advanced to tho prie-rt-hood the Rev. Paul Mazakati, deacon. iSeltlicr of these three Indians can speak a word of the English language. The examination and ordina tion were conducted through the Rev. S. I). Hinman as interpreter. In the evening of the same day, the Bishop administered confirmation to eighteen Indians of the mission. There are now 8li() communicants in the tribe. The mission under the charge of its rector, Rev. S. D. Hin man, has one native priest, two native deacons, two young men (also natives) preparing for the ministry, six native catechlsts, and two Ameri can ladies as teachers. The commodious mission- house and handsome chapel are finished. The hospital is enclosed and under roof. PIU'SIIYTEKIAN. The Southern Presbyterian says: Wc arc happy to learn that many of our churches in various sections of the country are enjoying special manifestations of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Among these arc the churches of Euhnrlcc and Athens (Bcthaven), Georgia: l'or tcrsville, Tennessee: Enterprise. Beulah, College Hill, and Greenwood, Mississippi: Searcv, Ar kansas; Ebenczcr and Greenville, Alabama: est C arlisle ond Bladonsburg, Ohio.

Several clergymen of the city will be present at this service. Collec tions for the benefit of the church will be taken up at the morning and evening service. The church is at the corner of Front and Union streets. The New York Times says the Rev. J. R. Miller, of the First United Presbyterian Church of New Wilmington. Penin., announced his re signation to his "congregation three weeks ago, owing to Ins view s in relation to the questions oi rsaimouv anil close communion. Subse quently he asked of the Presbvterv a letter of dismissal in order'that he might connect with the witl M.uool I'resOytenau (..liurch. llus request, after a somewhat bitter discussion, was granted. but he was refused permission to preach a fare well sermon to ms congregation. Rev. A. W. Loomis. of San Francisco, Pres byterian missionary among the Chinese iu Cali- luruia, writes to tiie Pacific that for more than two years he has had a Chinese colporteur con stantly employed, and sometimes two. most of the time visiting amoug the interior towns and the mining camps: "All the country from Marysville and North San Juan, nnd sweeping around amonir the foot hills down to the south, through Sonora, Colum bia, Chinese Camp, nnd Coultervillc, lias been traversed by them, and a portion of the field has been visited two or three times. These men dis tribute tracts and portions of Scripture; but their principal work is to converse witu their country men on the subjects treated of in their books. That they arc faithful I have good reason to believe, having been with them occasionally and participated in their work, and tho reports which we get from them afford much encouragement." BAPTIST. Brown University, the oldest Baptist college in the country, ana. except laic and Harvard, oldest of an v. denomination, has just commenced its one hundred and titth year, its new Trien nial Catalogue shows that its whole number of graduates has been 2:70. Among these have been 30 Presidents of Colleges, 122 Professors and Tutors, 18 Senators, 38 Representatives in Congress, 23 Governors uud Lieutenant-Gover nors, and so judges. J'ortv-nine graduates have received the degree of LL.l). Six hundred and seventeen, or more than a quarter of the whole number, have entered the Ministry of the Gos pel, and ninety-four of these have been made Doctors of Divinity. To glance at the well- known nnd honored names thickly scattered through the list of the sons of Brown must give a grateful pride to every friend of the Univer sity, and cannot fail to give surprise to any who are not laminar witu ner history, CATHOLIC. Bishop Lintz, of Austria, who was lately imprisoned for disobedience of the laws, is to be made a Cardinal, "in consideration of the alllle tiousand sufferings which the perverse and anti- religious spirit ot our epoch is preparing lor the Church and its servants." The Cathedral of the Holy Cross, the new Koman (Jathoiic structure at the. corner oi Washington, Maiden, and Union Park streets, Boston, covers an area of 55.000 feet, with a width of 150 feet and a depth of 304 feet. It will have two towers, and is of the earlier Gothic ftyle. The largest tower, on the Maldcu street corner, w ill have an altitude of 300 feet, and will contain a chime of hells. It will probably be finished some time in lbii. CONGREGATIONAL. The First Congregational Church in Stough tou, Mass., celebrated its 125th anniversary August 8. Rev. Thomas N. Jones, pastor of the church at North Reading, Mass., died suddenly week before last, aged forty-eight. Rev. 11. P. V. Bogue, acting pastor of the First Presbyterian Church iu Pottsdam, N. V., has accepted a call to the Congregational Church In ergenues, t. Vermont has 190 Congregational churches with a membership of 18.593. Thera are 135 ministers, 55 of whom are without charge. 1 lie benevolent contributions last year were ft5ti.240. The (iencral Association of New Hampshire met iu Kacnc, August 24 20. Professor Jleury Parker, of Dartmouth Col.cge, preached the opening sermon and presided. During the year contributions for home missions amounted to V6' about i 13,000 of which was from lega cies. The Pacific tells us that less than two thou sand members of Congregational churches In California cave last year to the American Home Missionary Soeietv fctiKiti: and says that if all the Comjregatioual churches in the country had done us well as these infant and mostly feeble churches of California, the society's income would have been ''t5,000, or a thousand dwllars a (lav. instead of :i44.00t), as it was. The Chriutian Mirror trlvcs au account of the beginning of the present very remarkable revival of religion in the ConirrcKutlonul Church nt tfomcrs, Coun.: "It seems tho church had been in u verv deplorable condition, owing to dlfcbcnslons among tho brethren, till the heart of oue of the sisters was moved to cry mightily to (iod for deliverance, especially lor tuo iieaung of the waters. As she prayed, God put it into the heart of Brother Potter, who Knew some thing of their troubles, to volunteer to go and bold his scries of meetings with them. Iho oiler was accepted, and ul tne ciose oi mu second meeting tho leading brethren who had been at variance rose and made heart-broken confessions, mid renewed the right hand ot fellowship. That electrified the congregatiou; tho meetings weut on with great power, and In three weeks over a hundred were hoping In the flux-lour. " We learn that the work is still going on, nearly two hundred persons having publicly requested prayers In the ma-tings, he Mei'.estrel says that A'oe, a new opera by llalevv, will be produced at the l.vrlque next winter, the family of the deceased composer having placed It 'lu M. rasJeloup's hands tor that put posv.
