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. In tho profaoe we
find suoh Bostonian vulgarisms as “says one of
the English Boviows” and says the New York
Evangelist.”
Another of Jacob Abbott’s Rollo Books has beon
published in Boston. 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.

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-

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

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.

Professor Hart’s. Farewell, ,
Professor John S. Hart,' of the Philadelphia
Central High School, tendered hia final farewell
to the pupils as prinoipal bf ttiatlttßtitation, at 12
o’olook yesterday.' The large Hall of
was at that honr densely filled, znainly'with'the
pupils of the school, the platform and side seats
having been occupied by the several:professor! of
the institution, olergymen, principals of our pub
lic schools, school directors, and other gentlemen
At the. hour appointed, Dr MeMurtrie, as ( the
presiding .introduced,the subject for which
they were, convened in a neat'opening speech
Following this, a yoledlotory poem was read by
its author, Master GeorgeA. Townsend,' of di
vision 0. The resolutions prepared by the pupils
for the oooasion*were next read by Master Joseph
R. division A -At the- close of, the
resolutions : a.beautiful service ef silver was pro-,
sen ted by . the school, as ah ezpression of esteem to.
its retiring prinoipM, in a brief ,hut appropriate
address by Master Joe| Cook, Jr M also of division
A. The response elicited from'' Professor Hart r Vy'
this testfihdtiffli was at’ ‘once happy, appropriate,
and at times "Almost affecting. Having referred
in terms of grateful acknowledgment to'the testi
monial before him, he ifelt that, in view;of> this
being their last prinoipal and pupils,
a few .words of counsel ini parting would not be
improper.. . 4
•vHe would say,; first, that their> de _
served some oonsidowtion at their ; h_ands.-..He a4 1?
mltted that they bad.
but they had merits, also, and'of those was iheir
; assiduous diaoharge of professional duties. ‘ Upon
the'whole, : they were hard-worked and r ill-paid
men. >Ho begged the* pupils 1 he’ wasa’ddfesaitig to'
remember that there was'something about the re
lation ef class-mate which in. after life,- as they met
in its varied walks, would;
meeting above, in the, realms,.of the,future, and
which .extraordinary' relationship, sustained ta
each other, he hoped they woulcl never allow to be
come* a subject of trifling Irreverence/ ’ ’ '
He'believed the Alumni of this Institution were
destined to beo’ome,- at -no distant day} the most
influential body of men in tbiaoity, whether itre
spected the tongue, the pon, ‘the press, or the bal
lot-box. In 1842 the HfghSdfiooUwysjfere sneer
ed at as s,ucj>-; hat not so now- ; To-day thatyery,
name’was a passport to respect in the .firstcircles,
.of society, and he advised all who "heard him to
stand up unitedly, not only for' the High School
boys, bat for the High School itself, and never
flag in their allegiance to their alma, mater.' ’ *
Ho confessed to a feeling on this occasion akin
to paternal pride,- and really felt'that thsif fu
ture success in life must, iu some degree also be
his. ' ; >
His closing reference to Maladministration of
discipline was given in saoh an humble, Christian
spirit, that'itwould be difficult to .imagine how
any one who heard himooald treasure any unkind
reflections of the past. His parting advice
to one and all,' hot only )o Seek to be at peace
with each other, but also 'with their Maker; as
suriog them that there was nothing in a religious
life that could way b? detrimental da their
brightest, prospects as good and rueful citizens.
Onoe more he thanked the pupils for their closing
aot of kindness, and bado them a final “ Fare
well.” . • •
Professor Hart occupieddhe position from which
be has just retired, during a period, of .sixteen
years. 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. • .
