The Public Buildings.. Andrew
• There is an almost entire unanimity of sen
timent among the liberal and intelligent citi
zens of Philadelphia in Javor_of.the,eroo.tion.
of the new municipal buildings which have
long been required in consequence of the infe
rior accommodations of our present edifices.
Few, indeed; pretend to deny the propriety
_ of speedy action on this important subject,
and it is a matter of surprise that our courts
and public offices, have .for so long a period
been cramped up in the uncomfortably and
inconveniently small rooms they now occupy.
' The - practical difficulty, heretofore, has been
to settle the vexatious 'questions in regard to
location, plans, and contracts, not only wisely
and judiciously, but promptly, so that the new
buildings would not forever be things merely
to be talked of and debated about by wrang
ling disputants, but be actually commenced,
speedily erected, and thus not only become
architectnill ornaments of our beautiful,
city, but furnish proper accommodations for
the transaction of its large and rapidly
increasing public business. But by the up.'
polntment of a commission composed of
" men whose positions: necessarily indicate
that they pm+++ in a. very high degree the
confidence of the community, an executive
power was created sufficiently vigorous to
grapple with and adjust all these difficulties.
It now remains for our municipal legislators
to consider the - contract made with Mr.
• 710ARrurm. We know there is a great di
versity of opinion in regard to the location of
_ the buildings, and the conflicting interests
involved are well calCulated to create con
flicting views. But, strictly speaking, it was
the duty of the Commission, and not of
Oanucils,to settle this dispute, and the proper
prOvinde of Councils is to act on the contract
without reference to location. There has also
been a great outcry raised against the award
to Mr. MoAntmun after the bid of Mr.
Kzioa,eif, bet since the full statement of the
facts made by Mr. Curlsat the last meeting
of the Select Branch, there is no room left for
cavil en this subject.
While many may respect, if they do not
sympathize with, the opposition to the con
tract which is in reality, although not avow
edly, founded on hostility to the proposed
location:of the bitildingi---and while a fair
quiry into the specifications and the price
• agreed upon is not only justifiable but per
fectly proper, there is another species of op
position to it which shottld be universally re
probated. We allude to the chronic autago
' than of Such noisy demagogues' as ANDREW
Mazza .to everything calculated to enable
Philadelphia to keep pace with the progress of
'the age and to preserve the rank among Ame
rican cities to which she is entitled. If the
influence of such men is permitted to prevail,
we May as well settle down quietly into ,a
Rip Van Winkle sleep, and permit every
optrited town in the land to surpass us.

Our Democratic Prince.
Our handsome friend, Sir RICIIA.RD VAIIX,
has been exercising'his amiabilities upon the
editor cf THE FaitsstAhis resent speeches at
different points in Eentkivania. - He tells his
hearers that we are iteftole trusted as a poli
tician, that we are sot's good Democrat, and
indulges himielf in other polite sayings. We,
trust Sir RICHARD will persevere in his com
plimentary campaign. It required a good
deal of effort on the part of his friends—Tuc
PRESS inclusive—to make a first-rate straight
Douglas man ont-,of him. It was almost as
difficult to Indlice him to take ground for Dolt
etas as the regular"Demooratic candidate, at
the start, as it was many years ago to roughen
htm into a Democrat, after he had danced with
VicsonM during his London life, wheri• he
was the Bean Samar. of the American
embassy. But both these feats have hap
pay been achieved,, and he who at one time
was 'hot ashamed of being called' the
prince of fashionable men; m due course
condescended -to outbid the hardest
handed Democratic aspirant for the wolconie
voter and sweet voices of the "toiling" masses.
The conversion was doubtless a sincere one,
although it looks .a little outré to hear mere
vulgarities dropping frOin between the delicate
lips and perfumed moustaches of onel who,
while professing the extremest Democracy,
delights in retaining many of the aristocratic
habits And manners that he brought with him
from over, the salt sea; 'and who, while shaking
bands with plain people, takes care to dr; so
with his own protected in the most exquisite'
kid. He has attained his present radical-posi
tion only after great tribulation. We remem
ber. the time well when it was as difficult to
get Sir RICHARD to support a regular nomina
tion as it would have been to induce him to
present a'Fourth-ward Democrat to VICTORIA
during his connection with the American lega
tion in England.
Let us be thankful for Sir RICHARD as he is.
If he will only honestly stand up to the rack,
advocate the straight Douglas ticket, and re
fuse fusion, like a man, until the November
election—if he will fight the tire-eaters, ap
pose the office-holders, reject the tests of the
Federal Administration, and insist that all
candidates for office shall be made to answer
whether they are for or against fusion—if, in
other words, he will only net get cc weak in
the knees," but be as loud and bold in his de
nunciations of the enemies of DorremAs and
nomintervention,to the end, as he is now, we
repeat we hereby authorize him to say all the
hard things he can say of .the editor of THE
PRRIRI; and if he does his duty well, we shall
be glad publicly to give him all due honor
after the good light has terminated.
Death of Prominent' Pennsylvanians.
Life and death—how near they aro related !
The cradle and the grave—what a short step
divides them! And yet the thin partition
separiting the active, 'robust, and ambitious
man from the dread summoner to his final ac
count, seems to many like an indestructible
wall, which cannot be broken down. The
sudden departure of those we love excites in
tense, but temporary trief, and we pais from
the newly-heaped grave of some dear friend,
mourning as we go, too soon to forget him in
the busy chase'for fhme, or riches, or pleasure.
Even as we gaze upon the attenuated face,
the quenched eye, and the lifeless form of one
near and dear to ns, we forget how soon our
own may be the neit pale and stiffened effigy
in turn to be looked upon and forgotten by
those we leave behind us. Let us recall the
grand consolation of the noblest of all our
poets, when he says :
" Bo shalt thou rest, and what if thou withdraw
Unheeded by the living—and no friend
Take note of thy departure 7 All that breathe
Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh '
When thrill art gone, the solemn brood deem
Plod on, and each one, as before. will obese
His favorite' phantom; yet all these shall leave -
Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
And make their bed with thee. As the long train
Of ages glides away the eons of men.
Theyouth in life's green spring, and he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron and maid,
And the sweet babe, and the gray-headed man—
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,
By those who, In their torn, shalt follow them."

Few men in active politics or business will
fail to recall his many excellent qualities, his
kind eccentricities, and his devotion to his
friends. He was but fifty-eight years old
when he died, and yet, during his experience,
he knew more public characters closely than
almost any man in the country who had occu
pied' tio national position. 'Connected with
some of the oldest families . of Philadelphia—
his ancestors on both aides having been Revo
lutionary people—he became immersed in po
litics at an early day, having served in a num
ber of honorary positions, and in every case
refusing to' profit by his politics. He was on
confidential terms with General Taosson and
President Vex Buitxx—who were much at
tached to him—and, during his time, was
identified with all the Democratic Governors
of Pennsylvania. He was passionately de
voted to this State and to Philadelphia,
and, although a man of many prejn
dicea, which ,be did not hesitate to ex
press, no kinder or warmer heart ever beat
in a human bosom. His brother, the venerable
GEORGE G. LETPER—who represented in Con
gress the Delaware, Chester, and Lancaster
district, thirty-one yearn ago, and, we think,
with Mr. BIIOHANAN, the present Executive,
then of Lancaster, and General JOSHUA EvAns,
of Chester county, as hispolleagnes—survives
him, at a ripe and vigorous old age, and his
sisters, the widow of the late lamented Hon.
JOHN K. Kass, and Mrs. ROBERT M. PATTER
SON, the relic of the late Dr. Perrasow, of
the United States Mint, are still living in the
midst of their families and friends.
As we yesterday, opened the pages of the
Butler (Pennsylvania) Herald, we found its co
lumns. clad in mourning, and, in looking for
the cause, ascertained that our old friend
JOHN GAAHAM, of that town, expired at his re
sidence on Saturday the 22d of September.
He died in the prime of life, in the thirty
ninth year of his age. Mr. GRAHAM was the
son-in-law of the late TAM&s BREDIN, of Car
lisle. His excellent lady and three children
survive to lament their irreparable loss. He
was a gentleman of high attainments and great
character. Conscientious in his opinions and
courageous in the expression of them, never
yielding to expediency, and, although univer
sally beloved, never for a moment pandering
with any 'Arty; or with any man who was
ready to sacrifice - principle. He was a self
made man and began life as a cabinet-maker,
and yet few had a more thorough command of
pure and classical English. We do not wonder
that the whole community of Butler mourn
ever his grave.

A Ploa for Justice,
Justice is patient and. calm, Revenge preci
pitate and hasty. The first is the instrument
of the law T-the latter may be,earried by every
min in his coat-pocket. Litho moments sue
.eeedinOri appalling crime, the first thought is
one of retribution ; and, as every citizen feels
aggrieved, so, in many cases, the first act of
the populace is an act of rapid and rigorous
vengeance. In a community like Philadelph a
we can well afford to permit Law to have its
way, especially when guided by the spirit of
Reason and Mercy. Paision is with the poll
lion, and it is well for our name and ouitleace
that it is so completely disciplined by social
sentiment and legislative enactment.
When we read of the brutal, deliberate, and
Mercenary murder of our late fellow-citizen,
SOMIRT'ORA.WTORDI it was with a feeling of
terror. To' slay a human being in the midst
of a:quarrel may be pardonable, as to 'err is
human, and we may forgive what is done in a
Moment of frenzy ; to fall on the field of honor
is only to make self.sacrffice to a morbid 'sense
of personal responsibility, and the sentiment
of pity is often with the miniver ; but to al
lure away from• his hearth and his family a
sober, industrious, and respectable , citizen,
and to murder him 'in the dead hour of, mid
night for a paltry sum of money, arguesla de
pravity which it is difficult ,to conceive in the
human heart, and fills every, one with a ;sense
of insecurity bordering on perpetual terror.,
In the course of official investigation the of
ficers of the law took into custody a young
man, scarcely in the years of his manhood,
named THOMAS J. ARMSTRONG. There were
many circumstances that seemed to point to
him :as one of the agents in this fearful deed
of' death, and when a microscopic examina
tion disproved in a vital particular the narra
tive of his connection with the suspiciOns of
the police, and his explanation of the blood
found upon a wagon known to have been in
his possession, nearly all who were anxious to
find a clue to the- mystery of the midnight
murder wore ready to point to him as one
deeply implicated. The evidence at the
preliminary investigation before Coroner
FENNER WaS printed, in every journal,
and read with greedy avidity in every
household. Gossip invented a thoitsand
stories; every one had. a theory, every the
orist rested his cause upon a new invention of
the brain,' and every invention only sought'
more deeply to criminate the unfortunate pri
soner. The newspaper press—and if any hu
man tribunal should • study impartiality surely
it is this—has lent itself to the dissemination
of these rumors, and the propagation of the
hasty inventions of the hour. Thus one, jour
nal states that Ms (c rumored the prisoner has
made a confession, but up to a late hour
no foundation could be found for the state
ment ;" a second intimates that there is in the
possession of the officers of the law cc evidence
of a damning character which is kept secret
for prudential reasons," while a third, with lit
tle discretion and less candor, recklessly de
clares the opinion that « circumstances
strongly point to the guilt of the prisoner."
It is. almost impossible that either the coro
ner or the coroner's jury can escape from the
influence of the artificial, and, in many cases,
unjust, excitements fostered by newspaper
publications. When thousands aro insisting,
in the morning, upon the truth of what might
have boon hastily and erroneously written the
midnight before, it cannot reasonably be ex
pected. that six gentlemen, who compose the
jury—men liable
,to the same prejudices as
their fellow-citizens, and susceptible to the
same newspaper influences—should render a
calm, just, and unbiased verdict.
In the case of the present prisoner, we hear
no mention of anything calculated to Tender
improbable his commission of tho brutal crime
of which hundreds and thousands are even now
ready to accuse him. We have reason to
believe, however,. that be comes from a most
respectable family, that he has been educated
amid religious and ennobling influences, and
that there is nothing either in his past life
or present associations to warrant the ler,-
rible suspicions which general sentiment has
fastened upon •him. Considering, too, that
ho is not more than twenty 'years Of age,
4.. means an istAilotto - yuung
man, it is almost physically impossible that
he could have committed the murder without
the assistance of accomplices. So that, it is
important teethe ends of justice that the po
lice, the coroner's jury, and all others inte
rested, should not be satisfied with accumula
ting real or supposed evidence against Aaat
sraoira, but that they should carefully and
impartially investigate all the circumstances
bearing upon the murder of Mr. CRAWFORD.
It is possible they may bo upon the wrong
scent, after all, or at all events, even if the
suspicions against ARMSTRONG are wellTiound
ed, it may bo that accomplices equally guilty
are even now escaping from the fearful retri
bution which should await theta.
The Daily advocate, a, leading BREGKIN.•
RIDGE paper published at Baton Rouge, La.,
calls upon the friends of STEPHEN A. DOD.
GUS in Pennsylvania to vote for the fusion
electoral ticket, on the ground that it will be
certain to defeat Lnientl. After making this
appeal to the friends of Judge Dourntas, be
cause that distinguished statesman himself is
in favor of the straight electoral ticket in this
State, the editor says :
" Yet, with this deep and black treachery In his
own heart, and with the blistering lie upon his
tongue, be charges upon the Breckinridge De
mocracy a desire to elect Mr. Lincoln. Is it pos
sible that one so lost to shame and self.respeot, one
'so deeplyplunged in falsehood and dishonor as this
man, can eapeot a southern Pemoorat to support
him? Will hie expeetatione be 'realized ? 'That
Is the question for the Southern vote co decide."
The Montgomery (Alabama) Mall publishes
an amount of an interview of the editor
with General William Walker, before his de
parture for Nicaragua. Among other startling
statements, the editor says: "General Walker
stated' (in conversations held during both visits,
but with most emphasis, and particularly during
the last,) that lee had assurances of assistance
front the French Government, if he should be
able to regain control of Nicaragua. lie alleged
that there was a perfect understanding between
that Government and himself, that if he would
establish the institution of slavery, by law, in
Nicaragua, the French Government would see that
She French commercial marine should bring to
Nicaragua as many slaves, from Afrioa, as could
be profitably carried th'tire. lle expressed to us
the utmost oonfidenoe in this arrangement, and to
Colonel Riggs' question, ' If the Emperor of the
French had himelf signified his approval of the
arrangement?' answered distinotly, Yes, the
Emperor himself has been approached; and I have
guarantees'—or words precisely tantamount. Me
did not, of course, indicate the - channel through
which the arrangement had been made ; but that
he placed absolute faith in it, was obvious to any
one who knew him. We believe that he added to
us, that there were details of the arrangement,
which it was needless and would be improper to
mention." The story is a, strange ono, but it
bears upon its face many evidemeaof probability.
Either Walker was deceived in Napoleon or Na•
poison deceived the filibuster in his most trying
hour.
Baron Renfrew , o Reception in Wash
ingtOn.
The Washington Star, of lest evening, says:,
The Washington correspondents of the New York
and other sensation journals, in their eagerness to
pander to the pnblio appetite, often publish state•
merits whieb not only have no foundation in point
of fact, but are actually absurd. Such has 111.
ready been the case with referenee to the arrival
and reception of Baron Renfrew in this city. The
statements of the press outside of this city, in this
matter espeoially, are not always to be deemed
reliable,
As an instance of the absurdity of many of the
statements of correspondents, spoken of above, we
will refer to the one relative to the President and
the Mayor receiving the Prince at the depot and
escorting him to the executive mansion. All must
readily perceive that such action on the part of
the President of the United States would be unbe
coming, and tend greatly to lower the dignity of
that high elSoial position.
Baron Renfrew and suite will arrive here on
Wednesday, about 4 o'clook, in a Special train r and
in all probability will be met at the depot by the
Prattle:We nephew, Mr. James Buchanan. In the
evening there will be a repast suitable to the or
oaeion, at the White Blouse, And also one on Thurs
day. Lord Renfrew will dine with Lord Lyonsecn
Friday; and nu invitetion will he extended to the
diplomatic corps to dine with him, before hi s d o .

Prim in the East Room, as stated in p Northern

Ile will be conveyed to Mount Vernon on the

From the best information we, can obtain, We feel
Rafe in saying that the grand pyrotechnic display,
which is to be given in his honor,' will, not take
place on Wednesday evening, as ourrently fo ,
ported, The announcement, we anppose, will be
made in due time.
This exhibition will be bad in the reseryption,,

mer.' His Royal Highness Lord RenfreW, the
Prince of Wales, the heir apparent to the English
throne, the excellent son of, an exoellent mother,
will reach Washington on Wednesday next. He
will be repaired, it is supposed, by the Mayor of
the city, and, probably, the Secretary of State,
(not Mr. Buchanan,) at the station, and he, with
the Bake of Newcastle, and two others of the suite,
will be the guests of the President Of the United
States daring their stay. Lord Lyons, the British
'minister, is to give a grand state dinner, which
will be followed, or preceded, by one at the Presi
dential mansion. An amnion to Mount Ver:
nen, in the revenue cutter Harriet L,ane, will
take plane on Thursday, in which the Prosident,_
the members of the Cabinet, such of the diploma
tic corps as aro here on the ground, and the Justices
of the Supreme Court, aro expected to take.part.
No formal presentation will come off, and no ball
at the White Hones. Mr. Buchanan has performed
a graceful act by extending an invitation to his man
sion to the accomplished Mrs. Ellis, niece of the late
Hon. Wm. R. Ring—a lady, whose various gifts of
person and of intellect have made. her a favorite,
not only in this capital, where she presided over
her uncle's household during' his Senatorialfterm,
but in Perla, where alio was at the' hoed of his es
tablishment while he occupied the American mis
sion]near Louis Philippe.
The British !consul at Philadelphia, Mr. Coot
wright,, a deserved favorite in 'your -city; and
wherever he is known, was summoned by his su
perior, Lord Lyons, to Pittsburg, for the purpose
of welcoming the Prince on his shire] in Penn.
sylvania, which is the peculiar bailiwick /f Mr.
Cortwright. He will escort the Prince as far as
Harrisburg, where he will separate from him and
proceed to Philadelphia, to assist in making pre
parations for the reception of the son of hie sove
reign. The royal party are said to express great
anxiety to see Philadelphia. Having commenced
their journey through our country at Niagara, and
having seen the rapid growth of this wonderful
empire In the northwest, where all is vigorous and
new; having contemplated St. Louis and its
magical prosperity; Cincinnati, which twenty
years ago was a village, and is now a splendid me
tropolis; Pittsburg, the Birmingham of Pennsylva
nia; our unrivalled trunk, the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, which may well be compared with their
own superior iron highways;
.and then Baltimore
and Washington—the latter filled with memorials
interesting to Englishmen, and oaleulated to im
press not only the old statesmen in the train of the
Prince, but the young mind of'his Royal Highness
itself—having seen the President , ' the 'United
States, the chief of agreat nation,,with none of the
regal insignia to designate his, rank, no Praetor ian guards, no standing army, nothing but that shn
plioity which, with silent eloquence, teaches the
observer that he is butlho repreiintative of l publio
opinion—having enjoyed all these sights and
pondered upon all these lessons, their next point,
after a hasty glance at 'Baltimore, *Ulla the oity
In which the Declaration of Indepetidenee ,was
framed.. . •
Doubtless Mr, Co.:Wright, proud of PhDade'
pills, and charmed with its society and Ito people,
having himself studied thkseoret of its. increase
in population, its growth iit7mtuittfietures, theitt•
tolligence of its masses, the heelfhinesis, of its
location, and the symmetr3r., ardor of its
public and private buildings, ha Aiken care to
prepare the Prince for a city greatly different
from those he has'oislylstetryisited. - The feature,
of Lord Ronfrow's short stay in your olty will be
the grand opera at your Academy of - Biagio, This
will be the first musical 'entertainment on an ox
tended male; that the royal party will have wit
named in the United Mates, and, no doubt, patri
cian, plebeian, and parvenue, meri and women, of
all classes and oonditions, will'struggle, to be pre
sent on this occasion. It will be. a, rare opportu
nity for the _Prince to see our fair countrywomen,
and to be seen by them, for, judging by the earl
osity that has prevailed elsewhere, I have no doubt
the gentle sex will monopolize most of the seats,
leaving their lords and masters cruelly in the cold.
Those who knew the boy ranee, among the Eng
lish residents here, say that he is •exeeedinaly
anxious to get to Philadelphia, to be as near civi
lization as possible. lie is fall of animal spirits,
and while helms not be en petted by the Duke of
Newcastle, he has had pretty much his own way,
and I therefore must forewarn the handsome girls
of Philadelphia to beware of his faiiinations.
Would it be Jut of taste, Pr. Mackenzie, for his
embryo Majesty and his' friends to visit Inde
pendents Hall? Where is the ingenious diplo
matist to suggest it, or will it occur to the Duke's
own mind? The memorlesof the past, the bitter
recollections of the Revolution, although not ex
tinguished, have been mellowed and softened in
the course of years. This very visitor Lord Ren
frew to the United States is an unconscious tribute
to the justice of that great revolt whioh severed the
colonies from the crown ofhis ancestors, and a deli
sate confession that that severanoe, while it has
builded up a mighty empire en this continent,
hat also aided and strengthened the parent
stem, lie would see no unpleasing reminders
of the defeat of hie country and his fami
ly. He would see, in Trideproidencie Hall, the
simple record of an event whioh, while it shook
despotism every where, helped to advance man
kind be all their civil rights,,and, it must be
confessed, to moderate the ambitions of rulers all
over the world. Let him ge there, as others have
gone before, to realize the irresistible strength of
a great people who are resolved to be free. If, in
the order of Providence, his mother should be
called away during his lifetime, he may in after
years, be able, with no discredit to himself nor
disadvantage to his people, to revive the 'recollec
tion of his visit to the hail in which the Declara
tion of Independence was framed.
The next novelty in reserve for the royal party
will be New York city, whioh may be called the
appropriate termination of his journey, although I
believe it Is Intended that he shall embark from
Portland, Maine. He will there behold, progress
in its most gigantic, magnificent, and fearfal
moods, and his young eyes will be startled at the
tempestuous torrent upon the bosom of which'
fashion, religion, oommeree, and politics, are ear
ned. " Who was to open the ball with the Prince
at Now York ?" was another grave question to be
settled, *nigh, I understand, has been disposed of
by a Oabinet council of officials and martinets,
who have assigned that honor to the lady of the
Governor of New York, Mrs. Edwin Morgan. The
good fortune of this lady has made her an object of
great envy; but such is life. We cannot all be
princes or Governor's wives. Somebody must be
captain, and even the ladles will be compelled to
yield the palm in this, as in many other instances,
to those who have been elevated to high positions.

TAN MITRDER OF ROBERT CRAWFORD
FURTHER Tenure:gr.—We mentioned yesterday a
new and startling Item of testimony evoked in the
Crawford murder case, which was expected t o b e
made public at the coroner's inquest In the after
noon. • The inquest did not come off, owing to the
discovery of yet further testimony, which would
not permit any suspension of effort on the part of
those engaged in the investigation. Dr Leidy,
moreover, was not ready to report the result of his
experiments to determine the character of the
blood found in the livery wagon. The item in
question is kept profoundly secret, and efforts are
being made, It is said, to strengthen it into posi
tive evidence. Young Armstrong is rigidly for.
bidden communication with any party save his
attorney, Wm. M. Bull, P,Eq. The rumor that ho
had made a confession was, like most of the rumors
relative to the murder, untrue.
We made some inquiries yesterday as to his pre
vious career. Some of his old sehool-fellows were
interrogated: they state that he was a quiet,
agreeable lad, exhibiting no evidences of wicked
ness. The news of his arrest, and the mysterious
but oireumatantial evidence against him,. have
thrilled hie intimate and transient friends. Mean
time, the ease assumes for him a serious aspeot,
and brie by one the avenues of escape seem closing
up. If,he be guilty, the record of-crime will pre
sent no Similar instance of depravity.
The stories in circulation yesterday, in some
parts of the Nineteenth ward, were numerous and
vague. While we were iu the station.house, a posse
of came went out to arrest a man and boy wbe 'rare
rumored to have been witnesece of the last aot of
the tragedy, when the body wagtitiown out of the
wagon at Norris SqUare. It is no* certain that the
wagon of butchery must have contained more than
one man. Altogether,, the tragedy was executed
with the usual absurd !avidity of murderers. It
may be that the discoveries yet to be made will
give a new bearing to the same, and, perhaps,
establish an entirely different theory of the tragedy,
The various scenes of the' tre_gedy, at Norris
Square, on Third street, and in St. JOU Street,
wore'noted yesterday by ourtous.eiosids.
The inquest will be resumed at ten o'clook this
morning.
The limn arrested yeaterday afternoon, by order
of the coroner, was named John Sheol° or John
Shinkler. lle is a young man; and was intimater
with Armstrong. It is believed that an examine ;
tion willdevalop something of imOrtance. Read
bears a gootlobaracter, and is nebsuspected of any
direct corineatlou with the tragedy., .We were
unable to learn the proolso,,park Wtta er ,

The annual concert of prayer for the Unity of the

and in the afternoon at four o'clock. The Bret of these,
held in the Church of the Epiphany. Chestnut and Fif

Newton, D. D. The attendance was large, notwith
standing the weather, the house having been well filled.
a taiga portion of the congregation being ministers.
The reading of the denatures wasassigned to the Rev
Wm. J. R. Taylor, of the Reformed Dutch Cluirch, who
selected for the coonskin the MY Psalm C . How

hr.) and Fauns inimitable empos.tion of Christian cha
rity, as contained in the fifth chapter of his tirit epietle
to the Corinthians, and concluding with the latter part
of the third chapter of Pool's epistle to the Ephe
meris. The reading of these, passages was followed by
a prayer from the Rev. John Chambers.
Mr. Chambers prayed that all Christiana might be
animated by the some spirit that united the redeemed
In glory. Be thanked Cod for the return of this annual
day for prayer for the Unity of the Spirit, and his prays:
was that all might be refreshed by the dews as they
dropped from the very hill of salvation. Reser:mad
that &thrombi go away with each resolntioneanwould
command the bleating of Almighty God, and - lhat the
spirit of the Scriptures just read might be the spirit of
every minister present, and every man who preached
salvation through the Wood of Jesus Christ; and that
God in infinite meror might remember the churches,
and let salvation f1...w like a river. lie prayed also that
God would not only vouchsafe to them thennill of the
churrher, but also the unity of the State, and that
from that meeting there might be carried an influence
unknown to them before.
The firat three verees of an original hymn, prepared
specially for this occasion, were then sung by the con
gregation, the hymn commencing—
" Praise to our Heavenly Father, God,
•
The Spirit and the min;
An here we meet in hie abode,
In heart and worship ono."
After thus hymn, the moderator announced that the
meeting Way open for prayer or reinsrke from any of
the brethren preseht, as they might be disposed.
Prayer wae then offered by the Rev. Mr. Newbury, or
Olivet Church.
Remarks were next made by the Rev. Dr. Brantlov.
of the Baptiat Church. He opened with a reference to
a remark made by Daniel Webster respecting prayer.
He said Me would. of course, not think of quoting Mr.
Webster as authority In a matter of theology. but Mr.
Webster was a wise man. and had. he hoped. died a
Christian. Nybioh be proceeded briefly to argue from the
epitaph written of that great man by himfeit, two
weeks prior to his death, commencing, "Lord. I be
ieve ; help thou mine unbelief," and from the evidence
he bad given on hie death-bed of sincere repentance.
The speaker proceeded to give his views of what the
term " Unity of the Spirit" Implied. For his part, he
conceived that it was the presence of the Spirit of God
in the heart of the believer ; and he felt like MS nag
that the day might speedily come when Christians

emcees in their respective laborer, and forget whatever
minor and unimportant difierenoes them might exist

sincere believer in the Lord Jesus as a brother. Trim

sufficient basis of Christian union ; and he that obeyed
the commandment of Christ to "love one another.'

had fullitled the law oh Christ ;" and if this were more
universal, said he, we should be able to sit down at
the son e table of the Lord and forget our wear sae un

The congregation were next led tut prayer by it ,
