SATURDAY, DECEMBER i, 1868. “ Circumstances alters Cases.” i It-has boon Baid, over and oyer again; that tbare 'is really little difference between ,tho -Executive Government of England and that of tio, United States. Indeed, not long since, Lord Elgin drew the parallel, at a ptiblic din nor in Washington, and plausibly maintained that ourFresident was just the same as the English Premier—-with the exception, be might hare added, that when the English statesman is defeated in the endeavor to force unpopu lar or indifferent measures upon tho People, and Parliament does not endorse the proceed ing, oufc 'of office he must go ; — while, in this country; theProsidont,- elected for four years, must continue in office until his ftall term has ran; ho' may be beaten, and beaten again, but cannot retire, and must “ bide the pelting of the pitil&A storm ” of popular discontent and disapprultlon. - • Buchanan is about-giving that Administrative programme which; only that it runs CQjisiderahly niore into Retail, is equi valent td that Ministerial declaration at the commencement of the session, spoken, or ra ther read, by the Queen, and officially known' as “ The' Speech from the Throne.” We shall' have' it in a very, short time, and are very curious to know what it will say. . The Prime Minister of England will not ap pear before Parliament ;until the beginning of February. But he does not act, in the inte rim, as .if he had taken a solemn vow of si lerioe iipoii'publio matters. On the contrary, the custom has'gradually spraig up of geno ’rally Indicating the line on which he moans to travel during the ensdiug session. This op portunity has been afforded, for several years past, at thO'Lord Mayor’s dinner, which takes place upon the 9th of November. On the re cent recmrenco of this event, most of the Cabinet ministers accompanied tho Premier. Tho Lord Mayor, with more craft than courtesy, endeavored to provoke Lord Debut into a premature declaration of the measures of progress which the Government mean to propose when Parliament ro-assombles. - But Lord Derry, to use a familiar phrase, is too old a bird to be canghtwith chaff'. He said to tho Lord Mayor, <> Yon have halted the hook, no donbt, with great skill and address; bnt some of ns have lived many years in tbe world, and havo learned to bo somowhat cau tious. We,do hot intond to take tho bait. We prefer to be-judged by ; our actions rather than by our intentions, by our performances rather than by our promisos; and, with what ever respect ! may regard this important as sembly, loan hot persuade myself that this is an 1 occasion, on which to antloVpato the speeoh to be. delivered from tho throne at the oommohaement of next session, or on which to toko out. of her Majesty’s month, from which it would -fall so much more, gracefhliy than from mi no, the announce ment of the intentions of her Government.” Yet, unwilling that tho country shonld conti nue without some idea of what is upon the tapis, Lord Derby added: “ But. this I ven ture to Bay, that, after onjoying that brief pe riod ;of partial repose which alolio a Minister of Stato can hppo to obtain at anytime of the year, I am actively, daily, and assiduously en gaged with my’colleagues in considering and maturing tho details Of those measures of le gal,- social, financial, and political improve ment which I hope by tbe .commencement of aWoto oabulH'TO tne ittlpaW tial judgment of Parliament.” And, to make assurance doubly sure, bis Lordship emphati cally added!. “ Though I may bo unablo to satisfy your Lordship’s very natural curiosity as to tho precise nature of the lneasnroa whloh we shall bring forward, I venture to assure you that they will bo couched in a spirit oi not endeavoring to servo this or that section of the community, hut the whole people — not to legislate for the high or for the low, for the rich er for tho poor, but for the well-under stood benefit and advantage of all classes .” Shall we be considered too curious if wo declare that we are unusually anxious to know what measnres “of legal, social, financial, and political improvement” will bo shadowed forth in the President’s Message 1 Shall wo be looked upon as unpatriotic, when we say that wo admire the justice of that English statesmanship which proudiy proclaims that it challenges support because its measures are not couched in a spirit of mere paltry partisan ship, but for tho general good of all, “ not,”, to use Lord Derby’s emphatic words, “ not to legislate for the high or tho low; for the rich or the poor, but for the well-understood benefit and advantage of all classes ?” It is clear that tho English Premier respects the will of tho masses, who form the majority, and wo suspect that, with all our boast of liberty, in some particulars tho United States have not so much of the Sovereignty of tho People as England has. News of Literature* Prank B. Goodriob, son of the ronownod “ Poter Parloy,” is author of a gift-book, called “Women of Beauty and Heroism, from Semiramls to Eu genie,” just issued by Dorby «fc Jackson, of Hew York. It contains nineteen engravings on steel, from designs by Champagne and Wandesforde, with accompanying. Jotter-press. This collection of portraits is extremely brilliant and varied, by all aooounts, and we daro say, from the ability of the author and well-known liberality of the pub lishers, that the book will be another great suo ooss—suoh as Goodrich’s “Court of Napoleon” was. Gould & Lincoln, of Boston, havo just issued a new edition of “ The Extant of tho Atonoment, In its Eolation to God and tho Universe.” The Rev. Dr. T. W. Jeukyn, who wroto this volume, was on eminont Dissenting olergyman in England, and oarofully revised it, a little beforo his death, for this particular American edition. It is a work of jgreafc value to all Christians, bring grave and argumentative) to adogreo.

It is entitled “Kollo in Home,” and is neatly illustrated with good wood engravings. Small os this volume is, and avow edly written for young people, wo do not know any hand-book of modern Romo half so familiarly in structive. * Glittering In blue and gold, and with interior to matoh, with neatness of print and we have “The Sociable; or One Thousand'and One Homo Amusements.” It is published by Dick & Fitzgerald, of Now York, and has boon handed to us by Mossrg.

A very complete work of the sort. , A Church Spire Raised.—A fow days ago tho spire of the Catbolio church in Frankford, under the oharge of the Bov. John McGovern, was raised to its pluao on the top of the tower which has beon built to receive it. The ohuroh wob built ten or twelve years ago, whon tho foundation of tho tow or was laid, and continued to the top of tho roof, with tho view of placing tho spire upon it at some future time. This has beon successfully aoconv pU’hod. Tho spire having been built upon the ground, was safely raised to its plaoe in forty-five minntos, without any oocident, although its weight was nearly ton tons The tower and spire weie designed by John T. Mahony, undor whose super vision the work is being erected. Tho height of tho tower from the ground is eighty feot, and the spire is eighty-seven feet high, making the total height more than one hundredand sixty feet. The building standing upon high ground, a fine view of tho surrounding country for miles is afforded from this elevation. The spire is octagon-shaped, twelve feet diameter at. the base, and will Jo oovorod with slate, in oourses of ornamental dia mond and plain slating, and is finished at the top with a largo gilded cross. It is lighted by two tiers of windows, and in tho upper story it is in tended to place a boll of 1,200 pounds weight, and K* ably a clock, for the benefit of tho neighbor- Elpbr Jacob Knapp.— Elder Jacob Knapp has consented to visit California, and bold a series of protracted meetings in the cities and towns in that State.

SBUGiOUS INTELLIGENCE. Important Thoughts oh this Revival* At tho autumnal session of the Congregational Union .of England and Wales, recently held at Halifax, Yorkshire, tbe annual address was de liverediby the Rev. Dr. AlHott, the president of the'Union, his subject being Re vivals.” The address, which we find very fully given in the English correspondence of theourrent 'number of the Independent, contains several points .worthy of notice.- The l design of thu,dis course was a caution against the mere externals of a religious life without the Hying principle within. 1 It jw&e no ovidenoo of a real revival for the mere zeal and liberality of professing Christians to be augmented. The Pharisees, of old, were utterly destitute of.spiritual religion, and yet they would l * compass heaven and earth to make one prose lyte.” Dr-A. held, find, doubtless, with much triith,. tnat professing Christians may manifest a greatly ifioi'eased liberality for the cause of pro moting Christianity, and yet experienoe no real inoroase of a godly life ,in the soul. There was, in his opinion, great/danger of confounding tho oak ward with the inward/ Another point, however,'whioh should not be overlooked, was the Sorlpture authority for, and evon the oommand, to resort to extra means for the promulgation of the Gospel. The means, there-,, fore, Dr. A.' contends, whioh must neoessarUy. be incjdont to a revival of religion, are not only right ttt themselves , but obligatory upon the ohurob. Hot only had We the 1 authority of Paul, thus to , ” ltjbor out 6f season'and in" Reason,” but the ex ample of a greater than Paul, tho Lord himself, wad that divine triith should be exhibited without’ regard to times, places, or modes; More than’ this: experienoe! proved thatthe biesrihg of God may be expedted proportionably to the adaptation of.meftns to prodttoe the result. The advantages of extra, moans were obvious, inasmuch aa the ex- r traordinary was naturally calculated td exoite more interest and attentioh than what was ordi nary there would, therefore, necessarily he more susceptibility of impression at an extraordinary than at an ordinary service, and thus many would be converted to God whose attention, otherwise, 1 would not have been exoited. > An error especially-to be guarded against, was' the mistaking of natural excitement for the In fluence of tho Holy Spirit; All suoh temporary emotion might he self-satisfying to the' subjeot, hut unless it tended to doep humility and sincere penitence, it was a delusion whi&h in the end would result in disappointment', perhaps in fatal ruin,' and If ever eradicated, bo only exchanged for a con viction that there is no Tbality in Christianity at all. Throughout, the necessity for private indi vidual effort is advocated and sustained,-as the simplopower of preaching,, no matter how unex ceptionable the style, oould never fully avail in bringing about a revival. Mere intellectual preach ing was especially inefficient in accomplishing the ends for whloh the ministry was.established. Suoh palpit efforts might gratify the mental appetites of tho eduoated few, but it would notconverbspuls or Increase the spirituality and/devotednosa of be lievers. ‘ , Many of the points here, made have been sig nally realized in this country‘sinco the revival oommenoed, a year ago. In looking around, to day, wefind that the most extraordinary inoroase of membership and spirituality has been experienced In those churches the ministers of . which have by no means the'widest reputation,for intellectual brilliancy. It Is true, also, that in the Union meotlngs for worship held in this pity, during the present revival, the most touching and effective fea tures have been when some bumble penitent with trembling accents rose for prayer in bis behalf; or some overflowing heart, filled with gratitude, rose in unostentatious simplicity to confess before men tho Saviour’s dying lore. Far different has boon the influence of much more protending and finished efforts, on the part of some whose Voices i are more habitually heard in those social gather ings, but whose apparent ambition to sorvei. the Master m that public way is: often made ,to de tract from, instead of augment, the spirituality of the meeting, for the time being. .Thiibb Remarkable Events op the Year.— Wq see U suggested that the' throe .romarka- * riuwfoWgfifSTMT the religious "world,^'during the past year, are the following: First/tho extraordinary religious in. terest that has prevailed in this country during the year, resulting, as it has, in the conversion of more souls to Christ than had been realized in many years before. Seeond, the great acquisi tion of territory in this oountry to the domain of freedom; and third, tho recently porfeotedtreaty with China, by which this hitherto seoluded’natioh, with its millions of inhabitants, is made accessible to the Gospel of Christ and tho missionary of the Gross. Conflict Between the Catholic Church and the Cantons. —Tho ooniliot between the Govern ment of Aargan and the Catbolio Churoh, respect ing tho proclamation of mixod marriages (between Catholics and Protestants) in Catbolio Churches, has beon settled by a compromise, tho Pope hav ing authorized the parish priests to publish tho bans of all suoh marriages, on condition that in the publication no montion bo made of the difference of religion, and that in the certificates of publica tion it be remarked that, “with the exception, of the difference of oreed, there is no other obstacle to tho conclusion of the marriage.” The Tent At Quakertown. —Sinoe publishing, in a recent number of The Press, a brief aoeount of tho present quartering of the Tabernacle tent, at Quakertown, Buoks county, and the remarkable success with which the Christian efforts In it had been attended, wo have reoeived a note from a ' gentleman oonnooted with that enterprise, point ing out ono or two unimportant inaocuraoies re specting the number of inhabitants of the town, Ac. As, however, the statement we gave was substantially as to facts , as we roceived it from one of our oity pastors, who was present at the dedication of tho tabernaelo building, any further explanation reapeoting it is unnecessary. A Good Arrangement.— I Tho course of sermons heretofore preaohed to the students and young men of this city by clergymen of different deno minations, in their own ohurohes, will, in future, be delivered regularly evory Sabbath evening, at Jayne’s Hall Tho oentral looation of this hall is greatly in its favor for suoh a purpose, and we doubt not that, when the faot bcccmes generally known that proaohing sorvioos may hero bo attend ed by strangers, and all others who may desire to do so, without interfering with the convenience of pew-holdora, these Sabbath evening sermons will be largely attended. The first sermon at that plaoe will be preaohed to-morrow (Sabbath) oven ing, by the Rev. Mr. Cuthbert, pastor of tho First Baptist Churoh, corner of Broad and Arab streets. A Medical Students’ Prayer Meeting is held every morning from eight to a quarter beforo nine o’riook, at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association, Nos. 1009 and 1011 Chostnut street. These meetings aro bring froll attended, and are said to bo very interesting, as, wo doubt not, they will be profitable. i Anniversary in England —A Coincidence. — Thursday, the 18th ult., which was obsorvod as the Thanksgiving festival in thiß Commonwealth, was a great day among thousands in Groat Britain. It was the three hundredth anniversary of the Restoration of the Protestant religion in that kingdom by tho accession of Elizabeth to the throne. The careor of Mary was terminated by death on tho 17tb of November, 1568, end the day following (tho. 18th) Elisabeth was proclaimed Queen. Father Theodosius.— Tho most aotive man in the Catholic Churoh of Switzerland, it is said. iB Father Theodosius, a Capuchin monk. After having founded a new congregation of nuns, he has more reoontly established a Oatholio oollege at Sohwytz, without having a cent in his pocket. The college has now sevonteon professors and two hundred pupils, and an interesting report on it was given by tho fouudor himsolf at tho late gene ral asaombly of tho Catholic associations.

The response elicited from'' Professor Hart r Vy' this testfihdtiffli was at’ ‘once happy, appropriate, and at times "Almost affecting.

The entitenumber of puptia instructed in this excellent institution, inoluding theptejent 'class, has been 3,900. AmODg other things, of a pleasing character, stated in.[the Professor's ol<£ sing address} was the fact that during the entire .period through which he had sustained the main!fold and multiform relationships,new about to be severed, he bad met twlth but one single -instance of open, vritiul disobedience, and} .that had, been some eight years ago, , by;a young man who was now studying, theology? iu another State,, and.who had written to Mm (Professor S H.) but a few., days ago, acknowl edging his error with almost, girlish tenderness, and confessing that, to that very, incident in his. life, he .trace bis first religious convictions. - Hon* Anson Burlingame’s lecture on . Thursday Evening.' . . Owing to the extreme inclemency of the even— fSoi Vt" one or two leotnres being announoed for the same. honr,. the, third, lecture before the Liter ary, Congress, .at Musical Fund on Thursday evening, .at tracted but a comparatively small attendance, the hall having been little more than half filled. The lecturer for the evening was the Hon. Anson Burlingame, of Massachusetts, his subject being “ Now and Then.” At a few minutes after eight .o'clock the.lee : turerappearod Upon the platform .greeted" with enthusiastic applause. The speaker’s stand was removed to the roar of the stage, allowing the lecturer—who spoke without the aid of notes—free uso of the platform.' ‘ ' ,' 1 ' ' Tho lecture which followed was, in many re 'speots, a fine production, and so far the graces of attitude, was handsomely delivered,' although in tho more essential oratorical quality of effective vooallzation, it struck ns as rather de ficient, and, at times, almost monotonous , He proposed; in'tho lecture which He was about to commence, to show that the present was better than the past, .It was only, however, after'we had fathomed tbe paet so deep as to be able to see' the great superiority of tha ( present, that we were, able to realize that the raoe to-day, in all parts of. tho world, was better, and wiser, and freer than it had ever been at any former period. The great law of progress had but reoentlyheen discovered and announced. It had been 3 too muoh our habit to sigh for tho good old times of the past. t To the keen intellects of France it was' said we were largely indebted for the' theories that had dono so muoh for tbo world; but for tbe practical solution of the problem of human progress we wore still more indebted to that portion of the raoe to whioh’ we more immediately belong. It was through this race that, in the slow progress of freedom, the habeas corpus , the bill of rights, and tho trial by jary, had been given to toe world.' Planting its feet on these rooky and storm-beaten shores, this progressive element had marched on, in brilliant triumph, trampling down barbarism and planting States. It oould not be denied that our Governmental froedom, hero, was far superior to that of England. He did not say this in tbo grandiloqueht spirit of a fourth of July oration—not with any boastful design—but because it was true. The fact oould not be overlooked that England was still unfortunately weighed down by the sris-. tooraoy of rank and money—rank in the House of Lords, and money in tbo House of Thethooryof our Government was vastly supe rior to any other in the world. Itwastruo, wo must admit, that our praotioe did not quite equal our theory; but, even though the stream did not' rise fully as high as the fountain, there was-no reason for the good man to grow *» weary in well doing.” ' * ' . . In comparing the present with the remote past, - i the oloser wo examined the real oharaoter of the latter tbo loss we should find in it to desire.. Evon it we confined our inquiry to tho conti nent of Europe wo should find this principle of progress dearly established. We could not doubt that Franoo, to-day, was all tho bettor for tho forty-years revolution through which she bed paaaod, and Louis Naprieon, with all hia unrighte*, oas antecedents, whotber conscious of it or not, was, nevertheless, an instrument of progress in the hands of an overruling Power. Tho progress of our own country was especially dwelt upon. Recent statistics informed us that, our population was Increasing more rapidly by two and a half per oont. than any other nation on the globe. Mr. Crittenden had said In Now York, on Wednesday evening, that the boy was alive who, if he should live to be fifty years old, would see one hundred millions of poople under the fair stars and stripes of our country. The groat progress that bad marked our educa tional facilities were eloquontly depleted, tracing our present splendid institutions of learning back to tho timo when these facilities wero well confined to soven-by-nine school-houses. Xu the course of his remarks, in this connection, he paid a beautiful tribute to the departed Kane, I of whom it was said that when the earth and 1 tbe sea shall give up thoir dead there would not stand amid that mighty host a braver, whiter soul than his. Xho stream of civilisation in this country, at fint but a tiny rill, had won its way onward, and, in the language of good Bishop Borkeley, ‘•Westward the star of empire takes its way”— Westward, gradually widening and deeponisg In its course, until to-day it had reached the western mountains, and overleapod them, and oven touched the borders of the peaooful Pacific. Tho leoture was over an hour In length, and was frequently greeted with applause in the ojuise of its delivery. • . The Burns CiiUß, of Boston, is making preparations for the celebration of the centennial anniversary of tbo birth of tho poot. An original gong has been prepared, and the olub has reoeived a facsimile of the original manuicriptof Burns's “Cotter’s Saturday Night,” from Mrs. James IngllS, and, from the same source, a relio from the birth-plaoo of tbo Bard of Sootland. Mildew in the Grape.— At a lato mooting of the Cincinnati (Ohio) Horticultural Society Mr. Mullet, one of its prominent members, attributed tho mildew In the grape, which has proved so dis astrous to tho interests of vine-growers m that rocion, during the past season, to the had system of "pruning in vogue. That system gave too muoh toot to too little stalk. ( The Boston Advertiser has seen a private lottor from Hon.
