SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7 , 1857
AIRS. CUNNINGHAM
Never was any woman such a God-send to
the New York newspapers as Mrs. Cvsniso
was, late of 81 Bond street. FrOut the end
of last January-, when Dr. BURDELL was mur.
dered, she has greatlyoccupied public attention.
The newspapers pounced upon her, reported
her, gOssipped about her, traced her, made
stock-in-trade out of her, and have kept her,
in one way or another, on the lapis. First
there was the murder, with that unique inquest
in which Coroner Commix showed the world,
in his own person, that Dogberry was by no
means a mere Imaginative character. Then
there was the trial, at which the District At
torney (Oat Ev a, Maio made such u strange ex
hibition of himself, abusing the prisoner in the
manner of a French procurier da roi, and
promise to call actual evidence of the murder
—which evidence he did not produce. Then
followed the struggle, before the Surrogate, to
prove that Mrs. CUNNINGHAM really was BUR
lMlLL'iwidow. Next came the o producing"
of'4'stirr,eptitiotte heir to the Bindoll property.
In Whieb t airs.tCutmrsonamwas assisted, aided
and ibiated bk a' lawyer and a Medina' man—
namely, the, guhllo Prosecutor (Omar HALL,

struggle" 'CO obtain ha'r Alberatlitn on bail.
There yet remains another. trial of .hire. Gun.

men who supplied the'ilttudulent child,Ofr.•
OAKEN RAIL and Dr. Uun) are not also to be
tried. On the contrary, one of them 'will
prosecute and the other appear against her as
State's evidence.
After Mrs. CUNNINGHAM was' admitted to
bail, the District Attorney—who has pursued
her, throughout, tvlth what looks very like a
vittdlctiie feeling L-moved the court to reverse
the Ardor to 'Rhonda her on bail, and oommit
her haft to prison. The judges Otirroutim,
Ct.A:tod, and PEABODY) of tho Supreme Court,
hive declined re-committing her back to
prtsitOzt the following grounds:
it nei'appearn that the defendant has been at
large on tail or nearly two months ; that she has
repeatedly attended in this court, as required by
its order,; that the place of trial has been 'banged
from this county to Orange county, and that the
court which Is to try the case will sit on Tuesday
next. It is also stated by her counsel that it would
not be possible for her to prepare for the trial at
that time, if she should be remanded to aloe cue.
tody. Under all these circumstances, the court is
satisfied that the same and which Is intended to be
accomplished by testae' confinement will be at
tained by allowing the defendant to remain on
ball., No further order is necessary at present,
except that the defendant attend in court, at
general and' spooled' terns, whenever she shall be
required by order to do so, and aloe at any circuit
court that is now or may be hereafter appointed
for her trial."
We found this decision in an out-of-the-way
corner• of the New York Tribune of yester
day—bet the fact it communicates of the re
move! of the venue from tho city of New
York to Orange county, seems to have
escaped the notice of the other New York
papers. This changing of the place of trial,
from where a strong prejudice exists against
her, to where she is almost unknown, is a
decided advantage for Mrs. CUNNINGHAM.
We shall have ono scone more of this extra
ordinary melodrama of real life—vin, the
trial, which is fixed to come on next Tuesday.
That scone over, we hope that the curtain will
"fall, for over, upon this notorious woman.
We may expect to find full reports of the
trial, with the minutest details, "in the papers
dating the ensuing week. But the interest
of the subject has declined. Tho Panic
absorbs almost every newspaper subjeot.
ROW THE CIESAREWTTCH WAS WO,
h3o much iiteiest continues to be felt in the win
ning of the Cesarewitoh Free Handicap, at New
market, that we believe many of our readers will
thank us for giving the most authentic report of
it, from Bell's Life. Its details are acourato and
PRzsa
The jockeys reached the post with commendable
punctuality, and all eyes were strained in the di
rection from which the first view of them could be
obtained, but a delay of ten minutes occurred be
fore the signal was given by the dropping of a flag
on the top of the Ditch, and at length the immense
phalanx was seen streaming along at the far side
of that well-known boundary, which hid them from
view for a few seconds, until rising the hill out of
"choke jade," they loomed upon the Flat like a re
giment of cavalry, presenting a front which extend
ed from one side of the broad "track" to the other.
The start (which was preceded by three failures,
caused by the breaking away of the Plush colt,
Lima, Illuminator, Queen Bees, Prioress, and El
Hakim, who, ea at York, was very fractious, though
led to the post by his trainer) took place at five
minutes before three, and with the exception of
Renown, who jumped round when the flag fell,
and Prioress, whose jockey appeared nervous at
the novelty of his position amongst such a large
field of homes, all got away on very even terms.
The first to show in advance were the Sluggard,
Dusty Miller, Cerva, and the Plush colt, each of
whom may be said to have made alternate run
ning for the first mile, followed by such an im
mense body of horses, that It is Impossible for ue
to detail with any accuracy more than those com
posing the front rank, which included Queen Bess,
Lima, Odd Trick, El Hakim, Bartleur, Fright,
Lawn, Emulator.
In the middle lay Poodle, Warlock, Martinet,
Zigzag, Mons Dobler, Saunterer, Tasmania, and
Poacher, and in the rear were Fisherman, Wild
Roney, Lawn, and Renown, the latter of wham
anted as whippers-in a long way astern. After
pealing through the ditch gap, several changes
occurred among the foremost horses, and on rising
the hill out of " ehekojado," Dusty Miller, Poacher,
Sluggard, and one or two others dropped into the
ruck. The running was then taken up by Queen
Bess, who, overpowered her tiny Jockey, and went
on with a lead of a couple of lengths , followed
from the commencement of the flat by Carve, Odd
Trick, Fright, the Plush Colt, and Barfleur; Emu
lator,'F,l Hakim, Warlock, Lima, Zigzag, Poodle,
Illuminator, Black Tommy, and the favorite, as
near as we could make out, still forming the next
division until near the T.Y.C. winning-post, when
Lima broke down vary badly in the near hind pas
tern, and Bartleur, Tasmania, and Blank Tommy
exhibited symptoms of having had enough of it.
The pee now slackened a little, which let up Pri
oress, fisherman, Saunterer, and some of the rear
division, and owing to the immense body Of horses
still clustered together, "cannons" and oollleions
were "plentiful as blackberries."
Something (El Hakim, we believe) gave Carve
(whose jockey just before bad drawn her back to
the head of the ruck) a regular broadside, which
knocked her on to her head and knees; and whilst
in the ant of recovering herself the mare was
placed al toga ther hors de combat through Prioress,
who happened to be too close behind to he pulled
to the right or left, almost stumbling over her.
Tanhsley was thrown on to Prioress's nook, and in
his efforts to recover his seat lacerated the mare a
good deal, with his spurs, about the shoulder. Be.
fore reaching the bushes, the fate of "the Dobler,"
who had to be roused with the whip a mile from
born, was sealed, and soon after passing them,
_roadie fell so lamothat Alfred Day instantly pulled
him up. At the top of the hill the positions of the
foreiaost horses balsame easily distinguished. Queen
Bess (on the right, or fudge's side of the course)
was about a length in advance of El Hakim, who
was running on her whip band, with Fright, Odd
Trick, and Emulator close together at the heels of
the , Itiehmond horse; and next to them, in the
iniddle of the coons, followed Zigoog, Warlock,
Martinet, and Saunterer, in a cluster, while on the
extreme left, almost level with El Hakim, was
Prioress, who suddenly appeared from the ruck as
they began to make the dip, with such a formidable
front that loud shouts of "the American wins"
arose on all aides.
In the Abingdon Mile bottom, Odd Trick, ZIT
. -
sat, Sountarei, Martinet, Emulator, and Frig t
were beaten, and in rising the hilt the weight
stopped Warlock. The race was then left to
Queen Bess, El Hakim, and Prioress, and was con.
tested , with great severity to the chair, the Ameri.
can mare having much the beet of it until within
fifty yards of home, when she ran out to the left
from distress and the lack of assistance from her
jockey (whose style of finishing presented a strik
ing contrast to that of his two tiny opponents)
thereby lotting np Queen Dos and El Hakim, the
latter of whom caught Mr. Saxon's filly in the
very , last stride, and these two having their head's
level with that of Prioress at the winning -post,
Mr. Clark was compelled to award a dead heat
with 'the three. Plight finished close under the
chair two lengths off, and about a length behind
him in the middle of the course Zigzag was fifth,
half a length in , advance of Warlock, who was
sixth. Odd Trick, Martinet, and Emulator wore
next about half a length from Warlock, se close
together that each jockey claims the seventh
place, and at the heels of Warlock, with his nose
at the latter's quarter's, was Saunterer, who won
the bets that his owner laid about the horse being
Within thirty yards of the winner, by nearly half

the lot, awarded one if the fairest dead beats with
the three that was ever seen. The scene which
followed the hoisting of the zero-o—frith the
three numbers-44, 18, and 19—underneath can be
better imagined than desosibed, and the excite
ment was heightened by the terrific) oharge of
bortlomen up the course to the weighing stand at
the imminent risk of the lives of bar Majesty's
lieges on foot, some of whom were literally ridden
down like ninepins, recalling, in fast, the deserip
tions we have been acoustomed to read of th.:lt an
governable race, tho Bashi Bazooka. , The unpre-
cedented occurrence of a dead beat for the Cesare
witch, and with three animals, besides reflecting a
crowning triumph upon the gallant handicapper,
engrossed almost the solo attention and considera
tion of the spectators until the time for the deol
don of the deciding heat arrived.
Tbo Claims]] Stakes were first run for, and, in
the meantime, Fordham had been engaged for
Prioress, in the place of the American boy who
rode her before, and Bray being a jockey of greater
experience than Little was put upon El Hakim,
whilst Grimshow again " tooled ' Queen Bees.
These changes in the jockeys increased the ecna-
Mance of the supporters of the Richmond horse,
and though giving away his year to the American
mare, (who ought to have won the' first time,
although in justice to Tanksley he rode very ore,
ditabiy considering it was his first essay in Eng
land), El Hakim left off with the decided call in
the betting, owing to most of the bookmakers, 'for
whom he was of course by far the worst of the
three, embracing the opportunity of "getting out."
The majority of the public backed Prioress, against
whom the ring, of course, had plenty of money to
bot from the circumstance of very few having laid
previous to the race.
The horses did not reach the post until after five
o'clock, by which time It was so dusk that It was,
impossible to distinguish their Colors in running
until within half a mile Of borne, when Prioress
was observed to hang to the left 4$ before, a$ 91t,
Fordham Using theirhip With his left band Witt* ,
her straight, there was a, iiiiiwittaneaus Shout of
"the American's 'beaten !" At the top of the
Bushes Hill it looked like a match between the two
young ones, but in the dip they wore fairly pumped
out, and Fordham obeying his instructions to the
letter, by keeping a .1 hard pull'"upon his marble
the last, she struggled with indomitable gameness,
and running the longest, landed the "stripes and,
stars" victorious by a length and a half—a tre
mendous struggle between the other two for the
second money resulting In favor of El Hakim by ,a
bead. In rising the hill out of the Abingdon mile
bottom, El Hakim began to hang from distress, and
swerving against gneen Bess, carried her with him
across the oonrse, which led to a claim of the amend
money by Mr. Saxon, but the latter afterwards
withdrew the objection, as it was apparent that,
however serious the disappointment to his maro's
chases, tim "cannon" was purely the result' of
accident. .
Tho time of the deciding heat woo six seconds
slower than the first, which, in turn, was five
seconds faster than last year's race. Run in 4
minutes 15 seconds; nett value of the Makes
.+1,550. The success of Prioress was the signal for
n tremendous outburst of cheering, which lasted
several seconds, and en route from the Heath, and
in the town, subsequently, Mr. Ten Brooch wee
overwhelmed with oongratulations upon his great
triumph, which, curious enough, was accomplished
under what may he termed the Ambrioan system
of " heats !" That Prioress might have won the
first time but for the fictions disappointment she
met with in the race, is not at all improbable, even
in the hands of her native jockey; but without in
tending the slightest injustice to the boy, hie want
of skill at the finish was so palpable that Mr. Ton
Dreeek determined to throw no chance nway, and
finding that his opponents were going to adopt the
same course, acted upen the advice of some of our
cleverest judges, and obtained the best talent to
be procured for the deciding heat, the result of
which will, no doubt, create intense gratification
throughout the whole of the American continent.
In estimating the triumph, however, and wo by
no means wish to detract from it, It must be borne
in mind that Prioress, though a year older, ran El
Hakim at oven weights; nor must it be supposed
by our Yankee friends on the other oide•of the At
!anti° that Mr. Ten Breech has hitherto run his
horses to bo beaten for the purpose of getting
"well in" this race. Ile has backed each of them
for a large amount on every occasion they have
started, and owing to the wretched manner In
which Prioress ran during the previous week atalies
ter, his opinion of her chance for the:Cosarewiteh
was so completely " knocked on the head" that be
had little encouragement to back her, consequently
his winnings do not cover ono half the expenses
his stud has hitherto entailed, to say nothing of
the recent loss of Leon:2oe, whom it was Mr. Ten
Broook'e intention to have sent to America as a
. .
stallion. The hopes of .the stable wore centred
In Pryor for the Cesarevritoh, and in two bets of
20,000 to 20 each, which Mr. Ten Broeok took
about winning the double evert, Pryor was se.
Noted In both for the Comer/Doh, coupled with
Babylon and Prioress for the Cambridgeshire!
Pryor, however, as already noticed, was placed
kers de combat on the eve of the mooting by ill
ness' and not, as many supposed, from having been
beaten by Prioress in a trial.
In Juane° to Brown, (who has bad charge'of Mr.
Ten BrOOok's horses since Goodwood ' ) we ought to

further disoussion of this memorable race to abler
bands, it only remains for ue to record the disas

tlemen and hookers of horses generally, whilst the
Ring wins almost to a man, and many look-makers
aro reported to have landed great etakoa Mr.

race—if El Militia or Queen Bess had pulled off
the deciding heat, ho would not have been in quite
so pleasant a position. We subsequently heard of

and Prioress and Dunboyno for the double event.

Ten Thousand Dollars Damages Against the
Great Western Railway.
[From tho liamilton (Canada) Spectator, nth ult.]
The notions brought by Mr. Curtis, of Wood
stock, against the Great Western Railway, have
just been disposed of at the Assises there.
Dr, Sanderson, of Woodstock, sworn—Said that
ho had made a medical examination of the plain
tiff's ease, in connection with Dr. Turquand, of
Woodstock, and Betohune, of Hamilton, on the
20th of September last; found him on his back, in
the bed, unable to move, In consequence of para
lysis in the lower part of his body; there was a
little sensibility in the right limb, and none what
ever in the left; bowels and bladder emptied
themselves Involuntarily; ho had no control what
ever over them; found an elevation of half an
inch on the spine, but no dislocation of the parts;
the 840111131, or lower part of the spine, exhibited
great irregularity; it is probable that the bones
in the lower part of the opine er pelvis aro in
jured, perhaps fraoturod.
[Witness held In his band two joints of the verte.
brat, and showed how the spinal chord was acted
upon by the derangement of the bone, which would
deprive the lower part of the body of sensibility
and motion.) He considered that the position In
which the plaintiff was placed when the accident
occurred (his chin touching his toes) was the cause
of the elevation of the spine; his injuries will
ultimately affect his general health ; the derange
ment in his bowels and bladder must remain so
long as he lives; ho has no control over the action
of the bladder; he has no motion except in the
upper part of his body, and he must remain in
this condition as long as ho lives, and will require
some ono to attend him by night and by day.
When cross-examined by Mr. 13eoeher, the wit
ness said that two of the vertebra) above the sa
ertun are displaced, which wopid produce the ele
vation of the spinal chord ; I never before saw so
serious an injury to the spinal chord; I do not be
lieve ho will over recover ; I know that the spinal
chord was bent In the manlier described from the
position of the vertebras and the result which fol.
lowed; the spinal chord was partially hut not
totally severed; a total severance of the spinal
chord in that piece would produce death ; ho know
it was not altogether severed from the slight sonsi
batty remaining in the right limb.
The jury retired for a few minutes, and returned
With a verdict for tho plaintiff of $lO,OOO.

THE PULPIT.
THE REFUGE OF MAN AMID THE
A sermon bearing significantly upon the
aspect of the times, and the spintual source of
delivimmee, was recently preached in the First
Reformed Dutch Church of this city, Seventh
and. Spring Garden streets, by the pastor,
Rev. A. A. WITZITS.
•
The lineage of Scripture upon which the
discourse was founded was read from the 46th
Introductory to the sermon, Mr. WILLITS
remarked that Ms Psalm bad been a favorite
portion of the Divine Word with many eminent
men In the Church in past times. Especially
had it been the hope-inspiring record to the
lion-hearted Luther, in times when his more
learned, equally devout,, but leas courageous
aMociate, Melanethen was bowed down in
spirit amid the fearful storms of opposition
with which they were besot. At such times it
bad been that Luther, turning to the Psalm in
question, would read for their mutual en
couragement, as follows :
tt God is our refuge and strength, a very
preaent help in trouble. Therefore will not,
we fear, though the earth be removed, and
though the mountains be carried into the sea;
though the waters roar and be troubled;
thmigh the mountains shako with the swelling
POteeef.
Where is a river, the streams whereof shall
make glad the city of God, the holy place of the
tabqueetes of the Most High. God is in the
inf4t of her; she shallnot be moved: God shall
heip_her, and that right early."
It; was the italicised portion of this passage
that more gape:Melly constituted the speaker's
text upon this occasion.
' lathe text, presented there wore two pic
tures presented for our contemplation, very
mipoltite in character, but drawn with equally
itrilting fidelity.
In the first we beheld the frightful comma
don of the mountains and the sea, caused by
the convulsion of the elements ; when the
earth itself was wavering In its stability;
when the everlasting mountains were uptorn
from their solid base, and planted amid the
boisterous waves, and others shook with the
swelling thereof, ready to follow in the same
chaotic , train.
This, said the speaker, was a fit emblem of
the feritild revolutions that were now going on
in the world around us. Barriers of wealth
and affluence, heretofore considered immova
ble, bad already been swept before the fury of
the storm, and others there wore now shaking
ominoutly "with the swelling thereof," and
on the very verge of yielding to the over
powering scourge that is sweeping, not only
across our own land, but that is urging Its
tempestuous wave beyond the seas. The
imagery in this portion of the text, the
speaker said, was typical of the WOULD, whilst
the second and remaining picture was equally
typical of the Cllonou. This second picture
was the quiet valley, beautiffilly suggested by
the "elver, the streams whereof shall make
glad the city of God." In this picture, In
stead of terror and commotion, we are called
upon to contemplate the serene quint of a
shielded valley--a valley in which the boister
ous sounds of the world without were only
heard, but left unfelt—this valley was the
OIIORCU. It was true, there were various
images employed in the Scriptures to designate
the Church; as, for example, in the text it
was figuratively expressed as the city of God.
In other places the Church had been likened
unto p Pity set upon a hill, from which its light
went forth and penetrated all parts of the visi
ble !solid.
But',whatever the figure signifying the
Church might be, the speaker desired his hear
em to understand that what he meant by the
Church of God was—not a place, or a sect, or a
denomination, but the Holy Catholic Universal
Church—the whole society of Christ's re
deemed ones on earth, Irrespective of name or
place. The Church alluded to in the text em
braced a aoclety from which all mere hypo
crisy under the guise of Christianity was ex
cluded. For us to understand the promises to
the Church, we must bear in mind that by the
all-searehing eye of Omnipotence there was a
spiritual line of demarkation drawn between
the real Christian and the mere Pretender. To
such as were really embraced within this cir
cle, the storms of life would bring no real ca
lamity; the'billori of misfortune might boat
*Weil thole ria.theirsild abontgok of old;
yet their best interests must ever remain un
harmed. • Whet., ho would ask, need the man
care for any mere temporal calamity, who could
in his heart exclaim with the Psalmist, " 0,
God! thou art my portion forever ?" What
was the. possession of mere temporal treasures
to the man who felt in his heart that he pos

[Mr. Willits, with characteristic feeling and
power, hero depicted the instability of world
ly treasures, and, so far as it is allotted to the
power of human skill, I doubt not made all
who heard him feel that the only really se
cure and unfailing acquisitions in this life aro
those deposited in the treasury of heaven.]
The river spoken of in tho text, as making
glad the city of God, was an emblem of that
unceasing stream of grace promised to the
faithful, and that had been so copiously ad
ministered throughout all ages to all who were
willing to accede to the terms upon which it
is bestowed.
The sublime grandeur of this divine ema
nation was eloquently dwelt upon.
If we stood upon the banks of a placid but
onward-flowing stream, and endeavored to
bring before our mental vision, in contem
plative panorama, the origin and destiny of
that moving stream, we should be inspired
with reverence and awe for its Author; yet
how incomparable this to that eternal stream
of grace which had so abundantly satisfied the
thirsty souls of our fathers, from Abraham, the
patriarchs, the Jewish Church, the early Chris
tian Church, and all believers sinoo then, down
to the present time I Infinitude alone could
insecure such illimitable grace. And now hero
it was, running through our midst, free in its
bounteous beneficence, and inviting all to be
come partakers of its refreshing power. Tempt
ingly it was flowing within roach of those
whose lips were parched, and yet they ab
stained from accepting the proffered deliver

The healing waters of this heaven-man
ting stream were, to-day, affording a blessed
solace to bereaved ones, who had been
stricken and tried by the tide of misfortune
that is now sweeping over our land; and hu

A MORMON MEJIRA.—Tho only item of consider
able importance which we find in our California
exchanges is the following :
Col. Wm. Rodgers furnishes the State Journal
some additional facts In relation to the movements
of the Mormons and the condition of the inhabi•
tants of Carson Valley. It is hie opinion that the
Mormons intend to remove to the neighborhood of
Vancouver's Island. They bad become wearied
by tie many annoyances to whioh they have been
subjected In their late arters, and readily an
swered the call from Brigham Young or those in
authority, intimating a removal to another field
of operations, They paid up the last dollar of in
debtedness, and left with the good wishes of all.
During lest summer the entirefraternity submitted
to a new baptism, and it le probable that the order
for removal was known to the bead men at that
time. They carried with them Immense amounts
of powder and other ammunition, and before their
departure had purohased nearly all the revolvers
In the valley. Some members of the train had in
their possession as p& as six of these weapons.
A manufactory has been in operation at Salt
Lake for the past seven months, turning out two
hundred revolvers per week. They have excel
lent workmen and abundant material. In ease
they should desire to enter Into conflict with the
troops, they are well furnished with the means,
and it is thought that the Indians will unite forces

STORMS OF LIFE.
Explosion and Loss of Life
SABBATH READING.
CHRISTIAN CHEERPUIXESS.--Chr,lstian cheer
fulness is honorable to God, and or happy in
fluence on man. Let the' cheering and tran
quilizing power of the Gospel break forth and
shine from your character. Jeremiah sung
psalms in the dungeon; Luther translated the
bible in prison; John beheld the brightest vi
sions of the New Jerusalem in Patina t• Bun
yan, in latter days, composed his Pilgrim in
confinement. There is very impressive power
in Christian happiness, on those who see It
from without. It is a sunshine amid dripping
clouds—a Sabbath heart in a week-day body,
and Sabbath speech amid the dialects of Ba
bel. It is brightest when all around it is black
est. When our natural affections cease their
Music, we then hear, sang out of the sky, un
utterable melodies which ear bath not beard;
when the world is all gloom, a regenerated
soul treads glories out of every pebble, and
sees the stars as arteries along which pulsa
tions of felicity reach him. He *an say 'with
Habakkuk—" Although the Bg-tree shall not
blossom, neither shall fruit be on the vines;
the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields
shall yield no meat t the flock shall be cat oft'
from the field, and there shall be n 9 herd in
the stalls;, yet, I will rejoice in the Lord, I
Will joy in the God of my salvation."
AN INO/DRICP OP Tan BATTLR-FIKLD.—A
soldier was wounded in one of the battles of
tho Crimea, and was carried out of the field.
Be felt that his wound was mortal—that life
was quickly ebbing away—and he said to his
comrades, who were carrying
"Put me down; do not take the trouble to
to carry me any farther; I am dying." •
They then pot him down and rottuned to the
field. A few minutes atter an officer saw the
man weltering in his blood, and asked him if
be could de anything for him.
"Nothing, I thank you."
"Shall I get you a little water ?" said the
kind-hearted officer.
"No, thank you ; I am dying."
IS there nothingl can do for you? Shall
I write to your friends 7" '
"I have no friends you can write to. But
there is one thing for which would be
much obliged; in my knapsack you will find a
Testainent ; will you open it at the 14th of
John, and near the end of the chapter you will
find a verse that begins with Peace.' Will
you read It 1"
The officer did an, and read the wordy,
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto
you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it
be afraid.'
ci Thank you, sir, "
" said the dying man; "I
have that peace; lam going to that Saviour ;
God is with me; I want no more," and in
stantly expired.
Dons or DAILY Lirs.—Life is not entirely
made up of great evils or heavy trials; but the
perpetual recurrence of petty evils and midi
trials is the ordinary and appointed exercise
of the Christian graces. To boar with tho
failings of those about us—with their infirmi
ties, their bad Judgment, their ill-breeding,
their perverse tempers—to endure neglect
when we feel we deserved attention, and in
gratitude when we expected thanks—to bear
with the company of disagreeable people
whom Providence has placed in our way, and
whom Ho has provided on purpose for the
trial of our virtue—these are the best exer
cises of patience and self-denial, and the bet
ter because not chosen by ouraelveS. To bear
with vexation in business, with disappointment
in our expectations, with 'interruptions of our
retirement, with folly, intrusion, disturbance—
In short, with whatever opposes onrvill,-con
tradiots our humor—this habitual acquiescence
appears to be more of the essence of self-denial
than any little rigors or afflictions of our own
imposing. These constant, inevitable, but in
ferior evils, properly improved, fundah a good
moral discipline, and might, in the days of
Ignorance, have superseded pilgrimage and
penanee.—Hannah More.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
" AMERICAN PRESSTTERIAN AND GENESES
RYANOELIST."—Tho American ,Presbyterian,
heretofore conducted by Messrs. Wallace and
Dulles, comes to us this week under the
above title, the two papers having been merged
Into one. The ,Evangelist, which has hereto
fore been published at Hochisiei, N. t., under
the editorship of Rev. D. C. Houghton, has
abandoned its former "local habitation,"
having made a voluntary, and we believe a
generally approved of, transfer of itself into
the American Presbyterian, published in this
city. Mr. Houghton is, however, still conti
nued in the editorship of the paper, under its
new auspices.
From published statements in this week's
number, the movement of these two religious
journals into each other's embrace is consi
dered highly desirable by the denomination of
Christians among whom it is intended more
especially to circulate. May it abundantly re
alize the motto, that «in union there is
strength."
Optima or A NEW Cuunctr.—Sunday last
was Imlay of unusual interest to the Episcopal
congregations of Philadelphia, in consequence
of the opening of the new church of the Evan
gelists, in Catherine street, above Seventh.
There were three services during the day. In
the morning, the prayers and litany were read
by the Rev. Mr. Durborow, rector of the
church, and a sermon was preached by the
Right Rev. Bishop 11. U. Onderdonk. The
church was thronged. In the evening the
edifice was again crowded. An appropriate
and pi:doted sermon was preached by the Rev.
Mr. Suddards.
Roy. Dr. Ely, says a religious cotemporary
of this city, once so prominent In church af
fairs, still survives. but Is so enfeebled by pa
ralysis as to be unable to hold intelligible con
versation with his friends. After five years'
absence ho was lately led to Old Pine street to
commune, probably for the last time, where be
once ministered nearly twenty-two years. His
silent presence created a deep sensation.
ErrEcrs Or ABOLITION IN TUN CHURCHES.—
Tke recent meeting of the Synod of Virginia,
in Washington city, has disclosed more facts
about the progress of the divisive spirit of
Abolitionism in the Churches at all open to the
inroads of that destructive folly of the times.
Happily, the Episcopal Church has, as yet,
been exempt from these distractions. The
Reformed Dutch, too, have moved along with
dignity and unanimity. Other important de
nominations have kept steadily in their spirit
ual faith, rejecting " doubtful disputations."
The Methodists and Baptists have indeed been
rent asunder, with no advantage to themselves
or to the slave. The Old School Presby
terians, as yet, bang together, though uneasy
spirits are murmuring among them.—Journal
of Commerce.
IZMDELITY DEOLlNlNG.—lnfidelity is going
down in London. One of its former apostles,
Cooper, the author of the Purgatory of Sui
cides, is now a zealous champion of the Chris
tian faith. Holyoake disgusts his friends by
decrying the character of Christ and the mo
rality of the New Testament. Open-air dis
cussions have convinced many. "This open
air preaching," said one, c , we cannot abide."
The Sunday Bands' committee announce a de
ficit in their funds, and the Cards aro discon
tinued. All this is cheering,
PRAYERS FOR TUE TIMES.—BiShOp Potter
has directed that special and appropriate
prayers shall be read in the Episcopal churches
in the Diocese of Pennsylvania, during the
continuance of the present disastrous condi
tion of business affairs. The meeting for hu
miliation and prayer, noticed in a recent num
ber of Tits Passe, we learn was well attended.
The next of a similar character will be held at
St. Paul's Church, on Tuesday next, at four
P. M.
UNIVERHALPITS.—From the Universalist Al
manac and Register for 1858, we learn that
Universalism has now a tooting and a name in
thirty-two States and Territories of the Union,
and in the four British Provinces on our North
and East.
The following is a general summary of their
strength in America:
1 General Convention, 1 Historical Sooiety,
1 General Reform Convention, 19 State Con
ventions, and 18 other State organizations ;
87 Associations and 7 Associational organiza
tions; 1113 churches or societies; 909 houses
of worship, and 626 preachers.
CLEROYMAN ROBBED.—Tho house of Rev.
Dr. Randall, rector of the Church of the Hee-
BM, in Boston, was entered while the family
was at church, and robbed of money and vari
ous articles of value to the amount of $2OO.
REV. CRARLEN W. COOPER, of Washington,
Pa., has accepted a call from the Huntingdon
South church, Long Island, N. Y.

THE LOUISIANA ELECTION.
' An election for State officers, members of the
Legislature, and tour members of Congress, took
place in Louisiana on Tuesday last. The Wash-
Ington U7llOll received the following despatch
from a private source:
"Na* OcsLaaae, Nov. 4.—Enitis (opposition) is
elected to Congress in the Brat district. In the
second district the contest is very close between
Taylor (Democrat) and Drake (opposition)—with
the chances in favor of Taylor. In the third,dis
trict Davidson's (Democrat) chances are the best.
In the fourth district Sandidge (Democrat) is un

"The Democratic State ticket is elected by an
average majority of about /re thousand!
"The Democrats have secured both branches of
the State Legislature. Their majority on joint
ballot will range from twelve to twenty."
THE MINNESOTA, ELECTION.
Notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, it
now appears that Mr. Sibley, the Democratic can•
didate for Governor of Minnesota is elected by a
handsome majority. The following gratifying let-
ter, we learn from the Washington Union, was
received in that city from a gentleman of high
political standing in St. Paul :
ST. PAUL, October 30, 1857

Horrible Murder of an Old Man in Canada.
The Montreal, Transcript, of November 3d, has
;the Mowing '
The evidence In the Simpson ease we reylorted
; fully ; but for the information of our readers who
may not have followed the details, a resume of the
facts may not he uninteresting. John Simpson,
an old man of sixty years, residing iu the parish of
St Louis de tlourague, made over his farm to his
son, the latter ngreoug to pay to his father daring
his life a certain stipulated annual sum. Finding
the farm too much for him, and unable to makeup
the annuity, ho exehanges it for a smeller one,
and some cash " to boot" (the father giving his
et: Went) with Francois Parent, who undertook all
the son's obligations. 'His neighbors told Parent
be had made a bad bargain, and his answer was
that the annuity would not long be a bargain, to
him, for he would twist the sleek of the old Man
shortly. •
This threat he carried out before be had been in
pmession of the farm three weeks. His brother,
Eueebe, invites the old man, one evening in April,
to go out to the bath and show him the line of a
new discharge about to be opened. gdmpson tie
alines, en the eoore that it was late and the roads
were bad, bus promises to go the nut thing next
morning. Eusebe is early astir, and awakes his
victim, and singing a song, in the refrain of which
the old man joins, they make for the bash. They
had gone but a little way, when at Eusebe's request,
Simpson returns for his (Eusebe's) axe—ostensibly
to be used marking the course—in reality the wea
pon with which the victim was to be saoridoed.
.Simpson gets the axe, and is seen going into the
ibush with Eusebo, and out of that bush he never
returns alive. Eusebe brings them home with
'him, and, when asked where he had left the old
man, replies that a fine-dressed gentleman in black
'clothes, with cup and gloves, was out in the bush
(early of an April morning, with the mud and
water knee deep, and in such a costume,) called
to Simpson that he had business with him ; that
Simpson went off with the stranger, and that he
(Awsebe) same home.
• The suspicions of the neighbors are excited when
it was found that the deceased did not return, and
ascertained that Francois went out that morning
early, at five o'clock, and did not return till
eight—an hour subsequently to his brother making
his appearance. Fur three days the bush is
' marched, and en the fourth day the old men's
corpse is found covered with brush and flag, be
tween two loge, hie skull fractured and several
other mortal wounds on his hoed and face—as
clear a case of murder as had ever been perceived.
The magistrate. Mr. Symons, (to whom the Chief
Justice gave, and justly, great praise, for his ex
ertions to this case,) summoned a jury, and the
facts we have stated came out in evidence. And
here it was that the hand of Providence seemed
clearly to have interfered to bring to light this
hidden deed of darkness, and detect the murderer.
On the body of deceased, when it was found, be
side the brush and flags we have spoken of, was
the top of a newly cut balsam tree. Mr. Symons
and the other witnesses took particular notice of
this at the time, though they did not then know
what an important part it was to play in the de
tection of the murderers.
When the axe was spoken of, the magistrate at
once ordered it to be sent for, and on the sharp
edge he discovered three dents or nicks; and, with
the sagacity of a practised woodman, be at once
determined that corresponding marks would be
found on the balsam, if, 113 he suspected, with that
axe it had been cut. Ito sends three intelligent
Canadians and a Seetelituan of much integrity and
experience to examine the balsam and compare it
with the indents on the axe. They fit the top to
the stump, and coma back satisfied, and swear posi
tively that with the are of Etterbe Parent that
tree had been felled. Meanwhile the accused makes
his escape to the States—having told the people he
was going on a lumbering expedition to Upper Ca
nada—and not until the Government offers a re
ward of ..£lOO for his apprehension does ho make
his appearance. Nor was this even then done wil
lingly.
Mr. Symons had issued his warrant for his ap
prehension and despatched an officer on his trail;
and his father, who had furnished him with the
means to make his escape, afraid that he himself
would get into trouble, goes to the magistrate, tells
bim where his son is, and offers to produce him.
He is advised to do so, and told that, whether or
not, the man would be apprehended, and that
wherever be was, he would be brought to justice.
Ile is aurrentlered shortly afterward to Mr. Sp:aces,
by whom ho is committed to jail on the charge of
murder. Francois is allowed to go at large, though
a strict watch is placed on his movements. And
when it is found that be has sold his farm, and all
the stock upon it, and means quietly to clear out,
ho also is arrested :And sent to Jail; and, until his
brother's acquittal, stood indicted as an accessory
before the foot to the murder. Mr. Driscoll,
Crown Prosecutor, acting no doubt as best he
thought would secure the ends of justice, after this
enters a trolls iirosequi ; and thus both the parties
to a foul murder, sneh as this, are for the present
allowed to go unpunialied,
INAUGURATION ON CRAWrOtte's STATUE or
WANIIINoron.—We suppose arrangements will now
be speedily made for the inauguration of tbo Vir
ginia Washington Monument. The 22d of Febru
ary next euggeitzi itself at once as the most mit a
ble day for the ceremony, and there is ample time
in the four months intervening for the fullest pre.
parations to be perfected. We are not stilE-iently
Informed with regard to the powers and ditties of
the eommissionera of the monntnent to know
whether they are authorized to fix the time and ad
just the details of the inauguration, or whether the
'board considers itself'imams rtl§ eio upon the de
livery of the statue in Richmond. As well as we
recollect, this body consists of Messrs. W. F.
Ritchie, George Wythe Munford, Gustavus A.
Myers, Thomas T. (tiles, N. M. Martin, end John
M. Botts. The late James AI. Wickman Was ono
of the commissioners originally appointed. In the
event that they cannot be empowered to act in the
promises, we presume the Governor would be the
party possessing plenary authority In either case
we have every confidence that the arrangements
will be moat satisfactorily ordered. An orator and
a poet ate demanded by the occasion, and there
should be invitations extended to the President of
theiUnited States, to tho Governors of the several
Commonwealths, and to ether distinguished men
to unite in the observance of the day. Rarely has
so Imposing an event occurred in the history of
Virginia, and under such a chief magistrate as we
now have in the Executive llppartment, it should
be celebrated worthily and with becoming honors.
