THE RUSSIANS IN INDIA.
For .'our own part, and wo lmvo said so more
than once, wo very much doubt whether Russia
really had any hand in excitingthe Indians into
revolt. We believe that Misgovcrnment
was the primary and long existing cause
—that the - Hindoos and Mahomcdans were
afraM of attempts being made, by au
thority, to proselyte them; and that they
'Only awaited tho arrival of a convenient time
for casting off the yoko which galled them.
At the moment when -the,Anglo-Indian dofen
cob were weakened by ■ the withdrawal of
greater part of the army employed in China
and Persia, tiio Hindoos saw that now or never
,WastQ.ho thewatolijjry, '
The 'London ffewa, a delightful specimen of
an independent journal, each numbor boing
“self-contained,” blowing hot to-day and cold
toimorrow, says:, “ The whole plot is as yet
undeveloped; blit It will be nnravoUed by de
grees. Same Englishmen and Frenchmen,
and most Russians, affect to laugh at tho idea
that Russian agencies were in any dogreo con
cerned in it; hut time .will show whether for
this mischief, as well as for tho horrors of tho
Crimean struggle, tho world has not to curse
the memory of tho late Czar Nicholas, and
of those who havocarried out tho policy of his
dynasty. If, at the period of tho siego of Se
bastopol, Russia did not intrigue with tho
Mahomedan princes—deposed or regnant in
our Indian Empire—ail we can say is, that if
Rpssia left a chanco untried, and that tho Czar
and his advisers were noither so astute, so un
scrupulous, or so politic as the world has been
led to believe.” A sagacious, if not original
remark is, “time will show.” Somehow, it
seldom does Show what was expected. IVe
shall give one reason why it seems improbablo
that Russia has interfered in this Indian matter.
What number of Russian agents would be
requisite to perform the work of secretly ex
citing the population, Hindoo and MauOme
dan, of the north-west of British India ?
What manner of men.should be so employed?
Would British subjects do such a work? If
not, how could foreigners escape detection in
such a Country as India, where every stranger
must instantly bo noticed, and summarily
treated,#}! the slightest suspicion ?
; It is not in India as it is in this country,
where, during the Crimean war, a Russian
agentwis attached to the editorial bureau of
a journal in New York, and certainly
earned pis pay in both capacities, by tiring off a
series’ <n bitter/ unscrupulous, well-informed,
and thoroughly to the
great glorification of th^ogar.. I/m, the
presence and the operatf&qSMfathe Russian
excited no surprise. But the first
demonstration of his against theHUing powers
would, at the least, have led to his Immediate
deportation. -That-Russia aided Persia, and
Jielped. the Afghans and Sikhs, and has ex
pressed sympathy, with China, we do not
doubt—but sho ooulddo nothing in India.
The paper we have quoted from adds, yory
touohiogly:
“Novar within memory—not oven at the
darkest period of the Crlmekn campaign—have
the homes of Great Britain been filled with such
misery and mourning as have been oaused by the
events of vrhioh from day to day wo road, the pro
gress in the tragic letters wrung from the hearts
of thefimrivors and eye-witnesses of the catastro
phe; nod never, wo must add, has such a feeling of
.indignation been excited among alt classes. It is
not alone those who- have lost eons and daughters,
.brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, friends
' and comrades, in the whirlwind' of murder, who
ory for vengeance/ but every British heart, from
the highest to the humblest of the land, glows with
bohest'wrath,'and demands justice, prompt add
unsparing, on the bloody-minded instruments of
rebellion.
,' “ The errors hitherto committed in the govern
ment of India have not had their origin in cruelty
or despotism, but in humanity and generosity,
and sprang from o too implicit reliance upon the
good faith and gratitude of Asiatic soldiora. Suflh
.errors, wo may bo sure, will not be repeated. The
rebellion will, at least, have taught us that. What
ever be our future policy towards the people of In
dia, as distinguished from tho soldiery—and there
can bo no doubt that it will bo humane, onlighten
cd, and beneficent—wo shall never again pamper
an Indian armyL- Wo shall never again trust tho
permanence of our dominion to the support of M»-
homedans or Hindoos, butshal! rely upon the right
arms of our countrymen to dofond whatwehavo
won and work to proper issues tho resources of
our empire.”
This is sheer absurdity. Tho error of Eng
land towards India was not an excess of « hu
manity and generosity.” The exactions to
which the Hindoos were subjected, to obtain
Revenue for the East India Company, have
been dreadful, and tho manner in which even
torture was resorted to, for this purpose, was
enough, of itself, to justify revolt. There were
abundant causeß for discontent and rebellion,
without imputing any thing to Russian in
trigue.

CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM ENGLAND.
|From’a special Correspondent.]
■Worcester, August 29, 1857.
Though but a triflo over a hundred miles from
London, this quaint old town is so seldom visited
by Amorioan tourists, that a few liuo3 respecting
it may not bo out of place. It is one of the very
few spots in England that have not been lacerated
by tho pen-points of soribbling travellers, and it
ones this happy immunity chiefly to its location in'
tho control western part of the'kingdom—quito
out of tho grand route to Scotland—whereon so
many thoughtless thousands tread, ns good Dr.
Watts says. But, notwithstanding this neglcot, it
is really ono of tho most interesting places on tho
island ; nud deciding, after visiting it, to write to
The Press, I, with malice proponso, -Uavo copied
Out of a local history tho following,profound ety
mology, thereby hoping to givo an appearance of
classic erudition to my communication. > So hero it
is:
J^ennt?ius } in his catalogue of cities belonging to
the Britons, enumerates this city by the name of
Caer Giiorangon and whon tho peoplo wcro'ox
pollcd by Romans, Ostorias, a priutor, caused It to
bo made into a fortress. It was called Wtgorna
Ceaster by tho Saxons, afterwards Wigra Cester,
and Wigorn Ceaster , which latter name the Nor
mans subsequently contracted to Wircestcr: hence
its .present appellation, “ Worcester.”
This same Worcester has suffered all sorts of In
orediblo afflictions in its day, and indeed is n very
Jol? of cities, maintaining & proud pro-emin6no6of
past inisory over all tho othor towns of England.
It has boon repeatedly burned and devastated, and
appears in the earlier stages of English history to
have been a very imprudont city, constantly de
claring Itself in favor of tho woakor. party, and
constantly suffering tho consequences. There was
the Queen Matilda, a daughter of Henry I, whoso
oauso Worcester foolishly supported, only to bo in
volved in her ruin, its kind neighbors of Glouces
ter taking tho opportunity to pay a morning call,
slaughter a goodly number of peoplo, and carry off
all the Worcestrian shocp and oxen. Thero wero
King John, and Henry IV, and HonryYl, in whoso
various causes poor Worcester ogniu sqfferod,
besides being visited about the same period by
plagues, pestilences, and famines, which carried
off very many of tho unlucky inhabitants; and
evonworso than this, besides losing their bodies,
many of them lost their souls in tho bargain, as
they had reigning over their spiritual affairs a
garage old wrotch of a hishop, who, in tho twelfth
century, excommunicated almost bis ontiro flook
for taking part in a tournament. Of course, Wor
cester suffered from tho incursions of thoWolsh,
under commanders with preposterous names, from
which thavowots wore carefully excluded; and it
also suffered nt a very remote period from the in-’
trusion of thoso impertinent Raul Frys, tho Danes, •
who nro constantly distrnoting tho roadors of Eng
lish history by tho rapidity and multiplicity of
their “ descents upon tjio ooast.” But tho suffer
ings of Worcester during tho civil wars wore posi
tively frightful; of course, it supported the un
lucky party ns usual, and was vohomontly opposed
to OromweU, who, nevertheless, by tho viotory ho
obtained at a battle fought here, was placed at tho
head of the Commonwealth of England. On tho
whole, Worcester may bo oonsidored tho most un
fortunate eity inoxistenoo; and this is,partially
its own fault, for/ in classical phrase, it was con
stantly putting its foot into It.
Even its royal patron,' King John, was a rather
shabby specimen of tho King Dei gratia. Histo
ry records his cowardly notions, and though ho
signod Magna Chnrta nobody thanks him for
yielding when he could no longer resist. 1 This
samo John alwnys likod Worcester, and at his re
quest was buried in tho oatbodral, his tomb being
oho of tho most prominent thoro, bis effigy lying
on tho top of it, with tho broken-nosod face up
turned to heaven, and tho hands dovoutly clasped,
just as if. instead of a disgraceful scamp, ho had
boon tho most pious saint in existenoe. By the
way, his ooffin was openod & few years ago, to de
cide whethor tho tomb was really his sepulchro or
only a cenotaph; they found thorein a skull, a few
shrunken hones, a fqw ragged fragments of woven
stuff, and some dust, and that woa all that re*
nmfcwdof old King John. So they tput theorem
nantA of royalty book* shut up tho tomb/ 'and
moved it a few rods forward to the ploeo whero it
now stands. - '
, Prom all this you will readily gnthoi; that tho
oftthedrah’ ia qrofoaw flfioldfct'bnflding; ' It has its
logonds, and ltsfeld monuments, with inscriptions
quite obliterated by time, and its dismal crypt, so
venorablo with ago thatmomory has quite forgotten
its birth, and no ono can now tell when or by whom
it was built, and its various stages of architecture,
from tho Norman to the lator Gothic, and even
Italian, and, indeed, all tho appurtenances belong
ing to ft genuine old-fogy cathedral, os It is. But
at present unusual attention is boing directed to it,
in consequence of tho extensiro restorations that
are being made there. Somo vandals, before tho
memory of tho present generation, daubed up
the interior with a coat of whitewash, atul it
was only rcoontly discovered that behind this wore
hidden some of tho rarest architectural beauties
of the kingdom. In the choir the restorations are
very nearly completed, and tho arches of tho trifo
rium now apponr in all theft original olegance,
supported by slender pillars of black which
contrasting with the Ugbt-polored stem? that.pre*
vails throughout tho cdijjce, produces an'6ffeot
surpassingly boauiiful. Indeed, the nrchcoologists
are in groat gloo, and Mr. Boutcli, a well known
writer ou such subjects, has taken up his tempo
rary abodo at Worcester, and is busily engaged
in poking into inaceo3Hiblo corners and ereviqas
of tho cathedral, deciphering’ irideoipherqble hie
roglyphics, or deducing from the twist of aoollaror
the tracery on a cushion the duto of some stouey sta
tues that for centuries havo lain unidentified in the
nave or transept, nil tho time “staring right on
with calm, eternal eyes” at tho different genera
tions that have trod the pavement of theoldoathc
dral —, and the result of all these researches
will soon bo presented to tho world in a forthcom
ing book on tho antiquities of this sacred edifice.
These restorations, which are made in faithful ac
cordance with tho originals, and nro truly restore
lions, and hot innovations, are carried on chiofly
by the exertions of tho Doan of Worcester, a gen
tleman of education and influence, and a brother
of the late Sir Robert Reel. The architect is Mr.
Perkins, who is as familiar with the different ca
thedrals of England, as If, in nccordanoo with an
alliterative epitaph oa a monument in this one, he
could say, “Here born, here bred, bore buried.”
At present Worcester is unusually full of stran
gers, attracted hlthor by tho Musical Festival
which has just closed, after a highly successful
session of four days. Tho musical exorcises wero
sustained by the choirs of Hereford, Gloucester,
and Worcester cathedrals, assisted by an orchestra
and a couplo hundred extra voices; the solo parts
being sustained by Clara Novello, Miss Dolby,
Mmo. Weigs, Mr. Weiss, Horr Fornies, Sims
Reeves, and soveral local artists. Tho festival
commenced on tho 25th, with a full cathedral sor
vico, including tho Dottingon To Doum, and an
anthem composed by Dr. Elvoy for the occasion,
fallowed by an appropriate BOTmon. On tho 26tb
Mendelssohn’s Elijah was produced; on the
27th eoloetions from Handel’s Israel in Egypt,
and Costa’s Eli, and on the 28th the festival
closed with the Messiah, which attracted an im
mense andlonco. 1 The gross rcoeiptfl amounted to
£9BO.
During tho performance of tho Eliiah I was
witness to nn incidont that shows that the divinity
that hedges about a king is still strongly reve
renced bore, even when it extends to tho more
cousin of Majesty. Placards wore posted about
the city notifying tho public that H. R. 11.. tho
Duke of Cambridge, might bo expected, and sure
onouch ho entered the cathedral as Miss Dolby
was singing ono of her arias, the rustic of ex
citement attending his entranoe quito drowning
hot noble contralto notes. As ho passed down the
ftislo, ovory ono in his vicinity roso to their feet,
while, ho, a fathor common-place, oboso, bald
headed man, walked on, taking no noticoofthis
mark of rospoot.' His scat was near mine, (only
mine was in the threo-and-six-penny place, and
his in the fiftcon-sk'lling place,) and it was indeed
amusing to obse: »o the obsequious manner in
which Intelligent men hovored around this mem
ber of tho royal family, protendiug to bo
listening to tho muslo, yet all tno time
desirous to bo scon of inon, and novor more
so than whon tho honored guont made somo
remark, to which they assented, and then looked at
each’other approvingly, as though thoy would say,
“His Highness ia quite right, and his views exactly
ooincido with mine.” Bomo ladies were presented
to tho Duke, and the poor creatures, though in a
public place like this, bowed and bobbed about, and
mado vast circuitous curtsies, greatly to tho inoon
vonionco ot those behind them. The Duko was
plainly dressod, and seemed to have nothing more
In him to command respect than any other olevor
looking, corpulont gentleman In the assembly { but
probably some little drop of tho kingly oil had
spilled upon his bald, benevolent nato, and that
would, in the eye of a loyal Englishman, be quite
enough to nuthorizo those absurd and misplnoed
demonstrations of respeot.
Brstdos the onthedra), Worcesterlias little in an
architectural line worth notioing. There nro
soveral fair oburohes, and among them ouo whioh
seems to have run to a spire instead of seed, for it
is possessed of ft wondorfnlly high steeple, which,
however, leads down to only a littlo shrivelled con
cern of a church. Tho adjacent sconory is very
beautiful, and tho Sovorn, on tho east bank of
whioh SYorccstor stands, is one of tboloveliost of
British streams. Tho town has fow public places
of amusement. Occasionally ft cotnpnny of pro
vincial players, with, perhaps, ft London star, will
giro a tow porformonoes, and I notice tho advent
of a panorama of American scenery i 3 announced
as forthcoming; it is, say tho hills, from Trlplor

Tho park U situate noar Bust tiborty, fivo milos

fair girl whoso history would furnish a talo for ono

Friendsandooqualntancos offered'aid, but, with
that spirit of independence characteristic of a truo
Ainericangjrl, she declined' their offers, and re
solved to earn hor broad by ’ that industry which,
howovor humble, elevates, ennobles, and commands
our respect and admiration.
In tho hands of Professor Ingraham or T. Mayno
Reid,'her history would mako an interesting book,
and, “with distinguished consideration,” I call
their attention to the subject.
The oongentrationof the several railroads at this
point had led many to suppdso that U would bo do
struotivo of steamboat building in this noighbor
hoodj which constitutes ono of the very largest of
our mechanical and manufacturing products. Tho
timber of whioh our boats ore constructed is
brought to tho different boat yards in tho viaipitv

An immense party of us oawo down this morning,
nil in too low spirits to speak. The hotel doors
wore shnt as tholastperson walked down the stops
tho boat hag stopped running, and tho butcher ana
baker refuse to come over from Lynn any longer;
tho milinor and grocer havo sold out at cost, and
now tho winds and waves may wash over tho
Peninsula, or wash it away if thoy like, and
nobody bo the worse. Nahant is a singularly
quiet place; tho most exceptional watering
place I over saw, and unliko any I ovor heard of.
Wo havo beon aa. quiet possihio over sinco wo
oamo here ; a hop or two at tho hotel, and n yaoht
ing party, nro about tho greatest pleco9 of dissipa
tion that wo havo beon guilty of. W© havo en
joyed, however, some delightful priyato din
ner parties, and somo exceedingly diverting
private theatrical*. Last week vro bad a lecture
on Yankee choracteristios, to which wo all went;
it was very amusing. Bomo of tho Yankoo anec
dotes wore the best d overheard; but tho point
boing chiefly in tho characteristic manner, would
not read to well. Two, however, did strike mo as
very good, and you shall lmvo tho benefit of them.
A Yankee captain was dining with somo English
men in Liverpool, at tho tiino of tho Ostcnd cor
foronoo and troublo about'CuWa: “You Yankees
aro growing too saucy,” said ono of tho Groat
Britain^; 51 wa shall havo to go over and givo you
a thrashing, to bring you down a peg.” “ What—
again ?” was tho captain’s only reply.
The other was of an English captain command
ing ono of tho Cqnflrd stonmors. who, just sotting
sail for Liverpool froni Boston, found tho tide be
ginning to obb, and wai steaming down the harbor
and out of the channel ngfast possiblo, to got over
tho bar before tho water should fall so low as to
make it impossibly. His progress wa3 nrrested by
a schooner "very clumsily managed, that tacked bo
awkwardly aa completely to prevent hia going on
without running her down. Ho lost hi* paticnco
at last* and mounted tho paddlo-box, while crow
and pawengers crowded to tho aides to hoar what
would follow. Ho hailed tho schooner, and in
quired who she was:
“Sally Ann, of Nantuckot; carries wood’tnlxt
boro and Marblehead.”
“ Who commands her?”
“ Wall—l undertook to do it, but I guess I’vo
found she’s a littlo too muoh for mo.” I boltovo
this is perfectly authentic, and certainly delight
ful. However, even theso loso a great deal by tho
absonoo of the down-cast drawl and twang. Even
tho more educated—tho most educated I may
say—have tho strangest way of expressing them
selves. If wo wore giving and accepting an invi
tation, wo should say, “WiR you (or won’t you)
como down to Nahum for tho day?” And “Yes,
with ploasurc; ’* or, “I know ofcothing to prevent. ”
But I can’t tell you how often this sumuior I
have hoard this conversation pas?'between two la
dies: “Well—why can’t you comedown to Na
hant for tho day ? ’’“Well—l don’t oaro if I do.”
They never say anything directly, or without that
introductory “Wril;” nud you cannot got a posi
tive answer, negstivo or affirmative, from them.
I stopped tho other day to inquire about a New
foundland pun that 1 wished to buy, and tho owner
said, “1 most bohevo ho’s partly bespoke,” They

THE ATONEMENT OF CHRIST.
[Reported for The Tress.]
The following text of Scripture was tho subject
of a'discourse preached on Sabbath morning, Sep
tember 6th, in tho First Baptist Church of this
city, loon tod nt the corner of Broad and Arch
stroots, by the pastor, Rov. James H. Cuthhort:
tl l'o> he hath 'made hint to be sin form, who
blew no sin ; that we migia he made the right
eousncsx of God 111 Aim.”
Tho apoakor commenced by saying that hewas
groatiy impressed' with the seriousness and so
lemnity of the business in whioh they wore en
gaged— his congregation as listeners and himself
qb thoir prouoher. And in laboring under a deop
sense of the responsibility attached to his vocation
aa a minister of tho Gospel, he thought he was but
realising what St. Paul had evidently experienced
when ho gave utterance to the context, “Now,
thou, wo are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God did beseech you by us: we pray you in
Christ’s stead?bo ye roconoilod to God.”
In the jtfm place, wo had in the text a distinct
statement of a Work of our heavenly Father,
whorein it was said, “ He hath mode him to be sin
for us, who know ho sin.” This had boon an,
agreomont‘entered into by the Eternal Father
himself; for the language of the Biblowas, that
“ God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Pon, that who3oever belleveth on Him
should not porish, but have everlasting life.” The
evldenoe here afforded wwr, that Christ had been
constrainod to undertake his mission of redemp
tion ; yet It had been a constraining very different
from force. In the Psalms we had the prophetic
passage of the Saviour’s word?, whioh at onco en
lightened us as to the constraining oharacter of
hia mission, “Lo, Icomo to do thy will, 0 God!”
was tho language of this propbetio record.
But our wonder and astouisbinent respecting tho
event recorded in tho text was greatly increased
when wo turn from tho Author of the work to the
work itself.
First, tbon, it must bo borne in mind shat tho
porson alluded to in tho text was a perfectly pure
and sinless beiug.
lot, in oonneotlon with the beneficence and
humility or His mission, we must not only look at
Him as a man, for Ho was also God. Tempted in
all manner as wo wore, ne yot remained so sinless
that his challenge, “which of you oonvinceth
of ein,” was loft unanswered even by his bitterest
enemies, and “blessed bo God for that fact,” ex
cluimod tho spoakor. AVe all know that Satan—
tho groat eagle-eyed bird of hell—-had coino very
near to him while on earth, and had, in divers
ways and manners, tried to assail the fortress of
his divine probity; but, God bo thanked, ho had
found it impregnabio.
The next groat peculiarity which presented itself
for our consideration waß, that such a
notwithstanding hi? immaoulate purity —should
yetbe made stn, as it was stated in the text Christ
had been This was indeed to the finite mind tho
most mysterious of mystories, the great wonder of
tho universe, that Ho who knew no sin should yet
be made sin. For us distinctly to understand tho
meaning of this declaration, howovor, it must bo
carefully borne In mind that the statement was
uotsiiis, but “sin.” Ho was not boro expressed
as tho consequence of evil, but by tho Divine
determination had been made the evil itself.
Not that tho poison of Bin had been infused
into his voins, and tainted his Divino spirit
with its destroying venom, but as a vast bur
den, self-lmposod, it had fallen upon Him, and by
whioh, in tho expressive language of another, it
was as if Ho had boon infldo a mass of sin.
To understand this groat feature in tho Atono
went, we must kcop before us tho groat sohome
which hod characterized it from the commencement.
In fulfilment of typical propheoy, sin was first laid
upon Him, and thou He is taken and laid upon the
altar, and thus was made the sin-offoriug of a believ
ing univorse. He became tho “ Lamb of God that
takoth away thosinsof thoworld.” Notwithstand
ing this penalty was self sought, ho boro it, even in
itsgreatpstseverity, with resignation and humility.
As it was oxpressod in tho 33d chapter of Isaiah’s
prophecy, “ He, being mado sin, was numbered
with the transgressors.” Ho bod accordingly, by
imputation, under the justioo and government of
God, been numbored as the greatest transgressor
in tho universe • Ho had coma to do tho will of Ms
Father, and when tho cup of his Father’s wrath
Hgftlnst a sin-stricken world had been presented
for Him to drink, He drank it, even to its very
dregs: His body had but answered tho purpose of
a martyr’s dress for his spirit. His body had been
tho robe in which Ho ascended tho awful scaffold
for immolation, and wo had mot to-day to talk over
it, to wcop over it, and to boliovo it in our hearts.
When Abraham had offered up Isaac there was
a timely arrest, and the blow was not inflieted; but
in the coso of Christ no such substitute appeared—
hocause thoro was no other in the universe to take
his place.
The speaker here drew a Tory vivid and feeling
picture of the Saviour as men, of the all-atoning
sacrifice, a 3 from the time when the world first saw
Him wrapped in swaddling clothes in tho mangorof
Bethlehem, Ho descended step by step that altar
reared upon this planet, where Ho had rcceivod
the poiml blow for tho ransom of a guilty race.
Yes, we had nil heard it! and our hearts had been
mode to bleed in unison with his, as that mournful
cry “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
mo?” had been wrung in agony from his lips,
when tho Father hid his face, and tho darkness of
a universe penetrated His inmost soul.
The meaning of this sacrifice was well explained
in the text. Sin had boon laid upon Christ, and
Christ hud beon laid upon tho altar.
Tho second main division of the text was: Tho
freat end of suoh a saorifico as this. The end am
nouneed in the text was, “that we might be made
tho righteousness of God in Him.” Now* the
moaning of the word righteousness In this connec
tion was, tho sustaining of a right relation with
God, and to bring about this right relation had been
tho object of this atonement; thus, by tho very
thing through which lie was made sin, we had
beon made tho righteousness of God. If ho wore
asked tho roason and philosophy of all this—tho
groat impelling motive that had led tho Son of tho
Highest to so much pain and humiliation, he should
havo but one Answer to present, ana that was a
quotation from the Saviour’s own words, vis: “ovon
so Father, for so it seemoth good unto Thoo.”
But it was not tho philosophy of this groat work
that aftor all concerned us so much as the sttfiicieii'
lt had only boon by assuming our naturo
that Christ could bocomo our representative; and
He hud accordingly, by onduring this humiliation
for our sake, rendering Himself liko unto us, lia
bio to temptation, and become, as the Soripturos
declared, “ tho end of tho law for righteousness
to thorn that beliovo.”
Boston, Sept. 14,
In viow of this nl!-sufiioiont act of mediation on
his part, thon, bow cheerfully ought we, his crea
tures, to respond to his overtures of love, and ac
cept the terms upon which this redemption is offer
ed ! Christ alouo was the rock that could afford us
tho shelter we should all need amid the storms of
death. Ho was tho life-boat passing across tho
ocean of lifo, pioking up tho drowning mariners—
not tho little boat, like unto that from which Ho
had taught tho disciplo3 in tho sea of Galileo, but
a vast ship, with salvation streaming from its top
mast, and Himself at tho holm. If we woro in
Christ, we were safe; if not, we woro floating upon
tho dungorous waves of uncertainty. Wisdom and
prudonoo alike diotatod tho necessity of socuring
an iutorest in Christ without delay. If we woro in
Him wo might indeed still bo subjected to tho
ohastoning rod of Providence, but such blows would
bo disoipl inarian in their objoot, and not the in
fliction of judgment.
Tho spoakor dosed by asking “are you In
Christ? and if you ftTe not, are yon praying
and striving evory day to be found in Him?”
after which he affectionately warnod UU hear
ers, that if they wore in Christ, thoy woro
safe; but if thoy woro not, they woro like the dead
branches, likoly to bo cut off at any time and oast
into tho firo.

SUNDAY READING.
(From the Presbyterian.]
Rowland Hill and Lady Erskfne.
Messrs. Editors: The following ™P«b
lishcd anecdote of tho celebrated Howland
lull was related to me some years ago by an
intelligent and respectable clergyman from the
other side of the Atlaniic. I have been re
peatedly solicited by Christian friends to com
mit it to writing, and send it to The Pre,by
terian, or some other religious journal, for
publication. The anecdote is certainly charac
teristics of its source, and presents such in
ternal evidence of its reputed paternity as to
justily confidence in its authenticity; at all
events, I know its publication will afford plea
sure to many Christian 1 friends, whilst, in no
wise, can it be injurious to the well-established
fame of its distinguished author. Very truly
your friend, Septimus Tustih.
tyacomb Place, Wathinglon City, June 20,
1855.
ANECDOTE.
On tho occasion referred to, tho celcbrat ed
Rowland Hill was preaching in the opeu'air in
that suburban portion of the city of London
denominated Moorefitldr. An immense * as
semblage was . present. His text was taken
from the. Song of. Solomon, i. 5 ; «X am blqcfc,
but comely. J> Tlic text he regarded as having
application' to theChurchy which, in the esti
mation of the world, was black—“bhek as the
tents of Kcder,” but in the estimation ol her
glorified Head, comely—comely 44 as tho
curtains of Solomon., While discussing
these themes with his accustomed earnestness,
it bo happened, in the providence of God,
that Lady Atone Erskine, iti an equipage
corresponding with her high position in
society, passed that way. Seeing the im
mense multitude,, she asked ,one of. her
attendants the cause of' that assemblage.
She was informed that the renowned Row
land Hill was preaching to the pebple.
Lady Anne replied she had often wished to
hear that eccentric preacher, and she would
avail herself of the present opportunity to
gratify that cherished desire, and requested
her chariotteer to place her carriage as near
to tho preaclior’a stand as possible, so that
she might hear every word that ho uttered.
Accordingly, in a few moments she fonnd
herself accommodated immediately in tho
rear of the temporary pulpit from which the
speaker addressed tho listening throng, that
being tho only unoccupied position within
reach of his voice. The splendor of the
equipage, and the sparkling appearance of
the illustrious persouage that occupied it,
sdon attracted the attention of many of the
people from tho Rerraon to the gorgeous ac
cession which had just been made to the
audience by the advent of Lady Anne. The
observant eye of Rowland Hill soon detected
tills diversion, and his inventive mind at once
suggested a hazardous, but an effective remedy.
Pausing in the discussion of his subject, and
elevating his voice beyond its usual pitch, ho
exclaimed, «My brethren, I am now going to
hold an auction or vendue, and I bespeak your
attention for a few moments. I have here a
lady and her equipage to expose to public
sale* but the lady is tho principal, and the
only object, indeed, that I wish to dispose of
at this present; and there are already three
earnest bidders in the field. Tho first Is the
world. Well, and what will you give for her ?
I will give riches, honora, pleasure.. l That
will not do . She is worth more than that ; for
sho will live when the riches, honors, and plea
sures Of tho world have passed away like a
snow-wreath beneath a vernal shower. You
cannot have her. The next bidder is the devil.
Troll, and what will you give for her? I will
♦give all the kingdoms of the earth, and the
glory of them.' That will not do ; for she
will continue to exist when the kingdoms of
the earth nnd tho glory of them have va
nished like the shadowß of the night before the
orient beams { You cannot have her.
“ But list ! I hear tho voice of another bid
der] —and who is that? Why, the Lord Jesus
Christ. Well, what will yon give for her? «I
will give grace here and glory hereafter; an
inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that
fadeth not away.’ Well! well! (said the
preacher,) blessed Jesus, it is just as I expect
ed fjuat the noble gcucrosity which thou art
wont to display. 1 will place her at your
posal. , 4 She is black, but comely,’ and you
sliall be the purchaser. Let heaven and earth
authenticate 7 this transaction.*’ And then
turning to Lady Anne, who had listened to
this bold and adventurous digression with the
commingled emotions of wonder and alarm,
the speaker, with inimitable address, exclaim
ed, 44 Madam! madam! do you object to this
bargain ? Remember, you arc Jesus Christ's
property, from this time henceforth and for
ever more. Heaven and earth have attested
the solemn and irreversible contract! Re
member, you are the property of the Son of
God. Ho died foT your rescue aud your
purchase. Can you. will you , dare you ob
ject?”
The arrow thus sped at a venture, under the
guidance of the Divine Spirit, found its way
to the heart of Lady Anne, and she was sub
missively led to the cross of Messiah, that the
hand which was pierced for our salvation might
extract tho barbed shaft, and heal the wound
which bad been so unexpectedly inflicted.
She became subsequently identified, to a con
siderable extent, with Lady Huntington in her
deeds of noble charity, and having served her
day and generation, she, like her illustrious
associate, sweetly fell a&leep iu Jesus.

Christians are alarmed at the rapid falling off of
tbo number of candidates for tho ministry. Dr.
MeCosb,of tho Belfast College, says that the annual

Churchy in tho five years ending 1840, was forty
seven ; in the five years ending 1857* it was gnly
thirteen. In Scotland, too, tho same fc|:t is noted,
and it is attributed, in no small degree, to tho in
adequate salaries given to clergymen, many of
whose families ore in a state of destitution. In the
Free Church of Scotland an earnest effort is to bo
made to secure from the General Sustentation Fund
an average salary of $750 for the pastors of the

A Bloody Tragedy in Texas*
We find tho following in the Dallas Herald of
the 29th ult.:
“ It becomes our duty to record one of the most
desperate and heart-rending tragedies that have
ever been enacted in this region of country. John
Robinson, living some four or five miles from
Birdville. larrant county, on Friday morning of
last week, without previous provocation, as wo are
informed, almost without an intimation of his
fiendish intentions, Bhot and killed two brothers,
George and James Anderson, brothers of his wife,
then attempted the lifo of his wife. and. failing in
that, proceeded deliberately to his neighbor’s, old
man Sublett, a distance of nearly two miles, and
while tho old man was begging for mercy, shot
him dead. Returning to within a short distance
of his home, Robinson finished this horrid and un
natural tragedy by placing the muixle of his gun
against his own forehead, and pushing the trigger
with his ram-rod, put an end to his own life in
stantly. Tbo whole affair occurred in less than an
hour.
“Robinson previously had a difficulty with his
wife, and had agreed to a separation.' Her brothers
were assisting to remove her things, when he shot
them both with a rifle and a musket. Some time
ago Robinson committed a brutal assault upon old
man Sublett. and was punished with sereral
months' imprisonment, which was probably the
cause of hid animosity against that individual.’ 5
