' Religion, said he, was, ever since the fall of man, a hard prefeicion. Who, was the men that could subdue himself? Most likely it was be who had been most selected to the .dieeipline. of toil and intL.Aerefore it was that the Almighty bad appointed seven 'soh men, from Adam to Mops, to -govern mankind for those twenty-five hUndred years. Following this, the men ideated to govern for fifteen hundred years more Were from the shepherds of Egypt.

Seventy thousand of their people had been put to death, and taken all in all, these persecutions hid surpassed the most bloody feats of any battle-dud on the fees of earth. His question, whether they would give up the .faith for which their fathers died? was received with a deafening no all over the house. The clergy, the priests if Ireland, he said, would never consent to live upon English' gold while one link of slavery pressed upon the limbs of their docks, It wan not to be wondered at that, speaking as he did from his heart, he should set. his bearers all on Are; it was not hard to see that they all *Might he did.

England had tried to Tadao' . the poor of Ireland, as she had sought to bribe her clergy, but without swam.

Having preached in Ent; land, Ireland, and Scotland, in 1671 he visited mid Preached in. nearly all the Ametioan oelcintei, re turning to' England after 'twe:years,where he was again 'lmprisoned for refusing to take the oath of etpremtray, but was released in a few months, when he proceeded to Holland, where he also preached with•with considerable rumens. , If be leaked mho-, ladle advantages, it, is' quite evident that he possessed; in a high degree, the ,more important essentials in a , Ohristian minister of meekness and genuine piety, and it, is no mean tribute to hii ' genius as a theologian that men'of acknowledged endition, r as Were Penn and 'Barclay; have borne their testimony likat be had an extraordinary gift of opening the Scriptures. His missionary life ex tended over forty years, having died in London, January 13, 1691. • Thu dootrines be advocated are substantially those held by the Orthodox Friends at the present day, and may be slimmed up as follows: They have no creed or confession of faith to be subscribed to by their members. - The views which they hold, however, respecting the doctrines of Christ's divinity; man's fall; redemption through Christ; the quickening power of the Hely Spirit, and the final resurrection, axe in general harmony with the faith held by denominations styling them selves Evangelical, ,They believe in the essential immortality of the human sauleand that the lost will be consigned to 'everlasting torment; but they do not believe mankind punishable for Adam's sin until they themselves become transgressors. They reject the title of " Trinity " as being unsoriptu ral, although they acknowledge the divine, unore- Med Three; ,nor do they apply the title, " Word of God" to the Scriptures, holding that to be only appropriately applicable to the Son of God. • Whey believe, also, that Christ's having " tasted death for every man' , renders salvation a matter of voluntary acceptance or rejection on the part of all men. Their views concerning the indwelling of the Spirit" are, oomewhat, 'mealier. They hold that the divine Spirit. is Implanted, in greater or less mesaure, in every hurrian ;ea/ ; that to some extent the lighter the Spirit of Christ enlighteneth every man that eometh into the world, whether in Christian or in heathen lands, and that the leading object of thii gift is tognioken the soul, and raise man /from a state of sin to a state' of holiness, which is, however, made dependent upon a man's making a proper use of this univereal gift. They also believe that some superadded manifestatiOn of the Spirit is given to every true member of the Church, to At him for the part assigned him. But they do not hold that this "immediate revelation" Is, under any oirotunetanoee, to supersede the teaching, of the Holy Scriptures, iehloh they re- ()alio ass divine revelation The point in whiohithey may be said lareet tally_to differ from other denominations is, their spiritttilising the ordinances of Baptism and Lords Supper, for which they assign this reason : The Water baptism which -John employed they look upon as purely typical, taking the ground that nn• der the Christian dispensation there is but on. baptism, and that the baptism of th Sprit, by Which ,conversion Of the heart Is kdowu, and the sinner is brought into the family of God's children, litiOugh faith in Christ. So, too, the spiritual communion with Christ, whit& - the' believer has, either alone or in fellowship with the brethren, theybelieve to be the true Supper of the Lord " —the 'pith* eating of his flesh and drinking of his blood. There are many other interesting peculiarities in their practices that are set =wormy the serums Ot even triode wh67lata -yocrunzerent views. They have certainly been among the most consistent and successful opponents to " Church Blta." I;he imposition of tithes they regard' as a relic of .Judaism, and in spirit unchristian:. As Christ said to his disciples, " Freely ye have melbas', fieely give," they believe that imposing a tax upon worshippers, in any form, or under any pretext, is a substitution of human power for divine authority. They therefore repudiate a paid minis• try, as they also do any ministry deriving its quali fications and authority from human learning and ordination, assuming that the Scriptures teach that Christ alone has the immediate disposal of thegills by which his disciples can edify the Church. Their ministry is hence in no ease limited to number or sex, their women being allowed to speak as moved bj.the Spirit, which, they quote the Bible to prove, was poured out upon " servants and hand maidens." A distinction bercween clergy and tatty is not recognised as any other than a mere human invention. • Under their discipline, the po . or of their own so ciety are oared for, and it is no unmeaning corn event upon the ohmmeter of their Christianity that their members, in this and every other community where they are found, are among the foiemost and most 'active in 'works of• proof:teal benevolence. They have also exhibited an exemplary spirit of toleration. They did not flee from oppression abroad, to a refuge in the wilds of 4merioa, to broom. in turn oppressors themselves with a change of circumstances. It is said that at one period more than four thousand of their number were shut up in noisome prisons in England, chiefly for meeting to worship God in such a man ner as they believed Ile required them, and for re- • facing to swear, which they do on account of the command of our Lord, " Swear not at all." In New England they suffered martyrdom; yet, when raised to power in the province of Pennsylvania, they upheld that liberty of conscience for the want of which they had themselves suffered. That they are now eomewhat singular in dress, and manners Is doubtless mainly attributable to the fact that they wished to avoid everything not in strict accordance with entire simplicity. To follow the fashions of- the world wee at variance with their principles, and so we find them to-day adhering to the style of dress which prevailed in England two hundred years ago. Their antl.war sentiments are founded upon a literal reception of the command of Christ, " I say unto you that ye resist not evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, tarn to him the other also." They believe in but one fast, and that a fast from every thing of a sinful nature. The observance of one day in the week as being more holy than the rest, they dissent from as a superstition; yet, as the early disciples met together on that day for worship, they see no impropriety in following their example ; nevertheless, they meet habitually on other days in the week, also for that purpdse. They have ever since the days of Fox, and in accordance with his teachings, made war, slavery, intemperance, litigation, extrava gance, and profanity, subjects of their most solemn protest, and partiolpation in them the ground, of censure and admonition, and perseverance In them a clause of expulsion. Such, in brief, is a meagre outline of the principles of a Society, whose founder Mr. Macaulay, for some unaccount able reason, saw fit to caricature -as unworthy of being placed, morally or intellectually, ,above Ludowlek Muggleton, who, the same distinguished I,mthor tells pe, if I remember correctly, taught his disciples that the Almighty was just six feet high, and that the sun was only four mike from the earth ! The yearly meeting, of which more will be said in a mooseeding article, like all their other meet ings for diseipline, is oomposed of representatives, although it h open to any members of the society, and to them alone. The men and women are con vened separately. Of the four meetings estab lished, for discipline, and universally observed by the 116.3[60; the yearly meeting only is legislative in its character. The discussions on these coon dons are not, as In most eeolesiastioal assemblies, about theologiesi dogmas, but =Only have refer ence to, the enforcement of a moral discipline In the discharge of the most essential duties of social life.

The trip of the clipper Andrei Jackson, made in eighty-nine days, seven hours, from ?New York, is claimed as the quickest ever made, the famous trip of the Flying Cloud, in 1854, being eighty nine days, eight hours. $35,000 had been received lathe Californiamint, during the week, from the Allison mine alone, being the result of five days' work. .

IMPORTANT LEGISLATION AT ALBANY: DEIITORS AND MURDERERS-A NEW PALATIAL CITY HALL IN MADISON SQUARE-DIMITON'IrWILL DECLARED yam— emus° 01 viizeonEßs TRH RIVAL OPERA COMPANIES 100M)11#011d01100 cif Nirw:Tomr,4priklp, iBgO _ _ . The optics of New Yorkers tire turned towards Albany, where the sands of the Legislature will to-day probably run oat. Within the week islet two bills have passed that are calculated to' exert an important influence on the business and morals of the State. The first is an insolvent law (which. however, is not to take effect until April 1,11881) that will give freedom to thousands of honest, aspable, but unfortunate mon whose fortunes were swept away in the liftman' torrent of 1857. This law is of the most liberal character. .11 r.'..tmes r .erdistewlaltw_it , ...is 5. -1....11--ppear from t ie petition, sebedule, and affidavit of an Insolvent, that at least two-thirds in amount of all the debts coring by him, and specified in his sehedule,'hare been due and unpaid for the space of one year prior to the time of the presentation of his petition, the officer to whom the same shall be so presented shall make an order requiring all the creditors of such insolvent to show cause why an assignment of the insolvent's estate should not bo made, and ho be discharged from his . debts; and in moo no creditor shall op pear in opposition, and no valid objection be made, the officer obeli direct an assignment of all said insolvent's estate, excepting such articles as are exempt by law from levy and sale on execution, and thereupon the insolvent shall be declared ab solved and discharged f from the payment of claims and judgments against him of every sort what soever. The other law to not lees important in the NEW , nee .it is destined to exert on the morals of the State. It enacts that no crime hereafter cam• mitted, except treason and murder of the first degree, shall be punishable by death in the State of New York. This "first degree" includes murder perpetrated by poison, or by lying in wait, or by any other kind of wilful, deliberate, and premeditated killing, or which shall be committed in the perpetration, or the attempt to perpetrate, any arson, rape, robbery, or burglary, or in any attempt to escape from imprisonment, and all other kinds of murder shall be deemed murder of the second degree; and the jury before whom any per son indicted for murder in either degree shall be tried,- shall, if they find such person guilty thereof, find in their verdict whether it bounder the first or second degree. When any person shall bo con victed of any crime punishable with death, and sentenced to suffer such punishment, he shall at the same time he sentenced to confinement at hard labor in the State prison until inch punishment of death shall be inflicted. The presiding judge of the court at which suoh conviction shall have taken place shall immediately thereafter transmit to the Governor of the State, by mail, a statement of such conviction and sentence with the notes of testimony taken by such Judge on the trial. No person so sentenced or imprisoned shall be executed in pursuance of such sentence, within one year from the day on which such sentence of death shall be passed, nor until the whole re cord of the proceedings shall be certified _by the clerk of the court in which the conviotion was bad, under the seal thereof, to the Governor of the State, nor until a warrant shall be issued by the Gover nor, under the great seal of the State, directed to the sheriff of • the county cm saheb, the State prison may be situated, commpnilinz the said sentence of death to be carried into execution• The bill also provides that all persons now under sentence of death must be sent to the State prison for one year, and then the Governor must direct the execution, by his warrant, before it can take place. The special case which this provision was intended to reach was that of Mrs. Hartung, now in the Albany jail under sentence of death. The Legislature has also been so kind as to grant fo this city, without having been asked to do so, a law providing for the erection of a new City Hall, of palatial dimensions, in Madison Square, the very heart of the domain of the Flora Malimsey's and appropriating for the same, at the outset, a round million, which will probably be the good seed that will grow up into eight or ten millions more. It is understood to be "a big thing.', This movement renders morally certain the sale Of the lower part of the Park, to the Federal Govern ment, as a site for the (My post offloe.

After addressing his second, Col.

HON.

BUCHANAN SIGN TRH ?nano SPOLIA TION DILL? The friends of the French spoliation bill are ma king another effort to have justice done to their meritorious claims. The consideration of the mea sure is axed for 'the nth of May. I have little doubt that it will pass both Houses ; but will Mr BUCHANAN sign it?
