KKIIUIOUS ISTELIItKSISOE. Voluminous New Commentary on tUe ■ Holy Scriptures. Apian has lately originated in the established Chiirchof England to ..cure an entirely new com mentaiy on the whole Scripture.. The honor of -starting thio movement iis swarded to the Speaker of the House of Commons, who consulted several of the Bishops on the subject, and the Archbishop of York, at bia lnatance, has undertaken to organize a plan for producing a commentary whioh shall 11 put the reader in full possession of whatever informs tion may be requisite to enable him to understand the Woid of God, and supply him with satisfactory answers to objections resting upon misrepresenta ttoubf Its contents.” The plan haß already received the sanction of the Primate, and a committee, con sisting oi the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of London, Lichfield, LlsndaiT, Gloucester, and Bris tol j Lord Lyttleton, tho Speaker, Mr. Walpole ; Dm. jßeobson, and Jctemie, is to take the general supervision of the work. The latter is to be di vided into eight distinct sections, consisting re .-apeotively of the Pentatouoh, the historical books of the Hebrew Soriptures, the poetical books, the four great prophets, the twelvo minor prophets, the Gospels and Acts, Paul’s Epistles, and the remain der Of the Sacred Canon. That a vaßt amount of valuable Biblical information will be eliminated and Concentrated in this proposed commentary cannot be doubted ; still, the faot of its being denominational in its origin, and necessarily sectarian in its com plexion, will deprive it of much of the usefulness Which a work of a broader and more oatholic charac ter—suoh as could only emanate from the combined labors of honest and able theologians of .all parties— would naturally possess. . Givb Thbm a Helping Hand.—The Lutheran 'Church at Gettysburg having been greatly injured during its recent use as a hospital for the wounded soldiers, needs to be thoroughly refitted, and three very estimable ladies, Mrs. Dr. Huber, Mrs. Dr. Buehler, and Miss Caroline Fahneßtoek, a commit tee appointed by the congregation for that purpose, are now visiting this city for the purpose of receiv ing such pecuniary assistance in the matter as may be generously tendered them by the Lutheran ehurohes of our city. It will be borne in mind that the ladies of the congregation referred to were among the foremost in their self- sacrificing efforts to soothe the Buffering patriots on that memorable ■field in July last. By this act they have entitled themselves, not only to the lasting gratitude of the loyal Lutherans of this olty, but to the thanks of all who feel an interest in the Union soldier, or the mighty, and we may say holy, cause he represents. Let this debt of gratitude, then, bo acknowledged, by furthering the object of the above-named ladies With promptness and liberality, remembering that the most generous (donation. that can be made will be but an inadequate compensation for the patriotic services rendered by the ladles of the Gettysburg Lutheran Church, Collections nob thb Sick and Wounded Soldiers on Thanbqivinq-Day.— We are grati fied In being able to announce that the collections in the churches of this city on Thanksgiving, day, for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers, amounted to the handsome sum of sls,ooo—to be applied through the Christian Commission. The Key. Dn. Gillette, ofNew York, formerly pastor of the Eleventh Baptist Church, in this city, is soon to take charge of the First Baptist Church, in the city of Washington, situated on Thirteenth street, between Pennsylvania and New York ave nues. A handsome new edifice Is now in course of erection by this congregation, and will be ready by "the first of the year, when Dr. Gillette will assume his pastoral duties. Blighting Expects ox Secesh upon the Chukoh.—A clergyman, writing from Missouri, gives a sad picture of the state of the churches there. He says: lam doing comparatively nothing in the ministry. Secesh won’t let me. lam stand ing still waiting to see what God Intends to do with my country and me. I induced our church last Sabbath to agree to observe the 26th as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and got our young preacher on Sabbath to read the President’s proclamation, and oh' 1 what a buzz it has produced. As a general thing our churches languish. I am the only minister in our association who is not “ secesh.” The Kev. Dk. E. Dorsey, for many years pastor Of the English Evangelical Lutheran Church at Waynesboro, this State, recently died, after a lin gering illness, his remains being interred In the Bal timore Cemetery.

On this occasion there will he a sermon in the evening by the Rev. Dr. Jeffery, the able pastor of the Baptist Chuich, Filth and Buttonwood, and an address by the retiring Pxesident, Rev. Dr. Kennard. , The next Union Prater Meeting, in behalf of our soldiers and sailors, will be held, in the Baptist Church (Rev. Dr. Eddy’s), on Chestnut street, above Eighteenth, at four o’clock on Monday afternoon next. Revision foe the South.— The following scrap, from the Toronto (Canada) Echo, may possibly be de rived fiom an authentic source; if so, it indicates the temper of Southern Episcopalians to have, at all events, a Bible and a prayer-book which will not disturb their conscience in relation to the u peculiar institution:” “A memorial is reported to have been laid before the 'general council’ of the Bishops, Clergy, ami Laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church iu 'the Confederate States of America. 1 It is understood to have been referred" to a select committee (of which Bishop General Polk is chairman), with instructions so as to revise the prayer-book as to free it from all traces of Abolitionism, and also to consider and re port on the expediency of a corrected Southern ver sion of the Old and New Testaments—especially the latter.”. Hebrew Monuments and the Jews,— Certain discussions, says a Parisian letter-writer, at the In• stiiut, relative to the age of Hebrew monuments, have suggested a new exploration of Jerusalem and other oitles in Palestine, M. de Sauley, Abb6 Ml chon, and fit. Saltzmann, start this month on this interesting expedition. The twenty thousand francs’ prize decrcdd by the Emperor for the moat import ant discovery In science, was adjudged this year by the Institut to M. Oppert, a Jew, for his persevering labors and success in deciphering the cuneiform in xoriptions. Receipts of the Boards.—The reoeiptß of the various Boards of the Church, during the month of October, were as follows: Board of \ Domestic Mis sions, $6,866.28; Board of Education, $2,656 90 ; Board of Foreign Missions, $12,369.74; Board of Publication—Colportage, $970.65; sales, $7,086.19 total, $6,036.84; Board of Church Extension, $1,374.15. The Fund for Disabled Ministers has also received $1,817.15. The congregation of Rev. Matthew Hale Smith, New York, have raised $l,BOO, intending to make it $2,500, for his yearly support. The late re jection of him by the counoil oalled to ordain him, n&i induced a movement to sustain his ministry, and to establish an independent church. The church is not organized yet, but will be in a few weeks* 1 and several are awaiting that event to make a public profession. A cotemporary says it cannot object to this movement if, as it is reported, many Who never before gave to the support of the Gospel ministry, now open their purses freely. Bishop Colenso.—A London-letter says: “Al most seven feet high, slender, but well formed; remarkably erect and handsome, with clear-cut fea tures, and full of light, there walked the present Banquo of the English Church—Bishop Colenso.” A Roman Catholic General.— Major General Davids. Stanley was confirmed in Cincinnati, on the 6th ultimo, by Archbishop Purcell. He had al ready been admitted into the ohuroh about a year. In one of the New York churches, recently, the clergyman concluded his discourse as follows: “ But I hear the rustling of silks in the pews, aßif some ladies weie impatient to leave; I will therefore say, God bless you.” Tile Starving Seamstresses. To the Editor of The Press : Sir : In your editorial of yeeterday I Bee an arti cle beaded “A Word for our Starving Seam atreßßee,” fair of mitrepreientatione, which, allow me to oorreot. ! It is true that only Jive cents are paid to make one havetaack (straps excepted, which are furniahed, made), but it i» not true that two women, working from 7 o’clock in the morning till 10 o’clock at night, can make only five, together. A woman that under stands a little about sewing, can easily make one each hour. It is true that this is little enough, but nobody else Is te blame for it but the G-overnment, ■ They, give a contract te the lowest bidder. The price* are generally so low that the contractor, to get a middling fair per centage of his capital is un able to pay more than six cents for each haversack. The sub-eontractors take quantities at thi3 price, and pay to the women five cents, leaving them one cent gross profit. Deducting from this cartage and losses, this leaves them a net profit of about three-quarters of a cent for. their trouble, which is really hard-earned money. After all, somebody thinks it nice to call them a ('heartless set of scoundrels.” I leave it to the public to judge for themselves. The writer of your article is aware that they pay at the Schuylkill Arsenal li% cents Soi each haversack. Then why do not these women ago there and i get work instead of taking it from •the sub-contractors at five cents! The Sohuylkill -Arsenal does not employ sub-contractors j only Go -vernment contractors do so; and as the Government ; accepts the lowest bid for work, nobody else but the ■Government is to blame for "starving wages.” If thewriter of "A word for starving seamstresses” had taken the trouble to inquire a little more about the real facts he would not have written such nonsense about something he appears to know nothing abouf. Yours, very respectfully, JPHILADBLPHrA, Dec. 4, 1863, j- l ft Myßtbp.tous Development.—On the corner of ' Wall and Front streets, in the oity of Jeffersonville, Indiana, stands an ancient brick building, which was used in the olden time as a hotel, or this build ing we have heard many romantic tales, and tradi. tions of every hue and character are associated with it by the old citizens of the place. It was once the rendezvous of a desperate class of people, and many dark and bloody crimes are known to have been committed within its walls. Many innocent and unsuspecting girls have been lured to this house and their ruin accomplished, and it is believed that not a few of these unfortunate victims have met with ■-violent deaths by their seducers. The building in In ftVerif dilapidated condition* purchased a lew days ville Railroad Company, on account of.the room u aflOrds for offloes. In repairing the building the workmen took up the old floor, and, to their asio niibment, discovered the remains of'several of the vniinv ladies supposed to have been murdered in tne finuse vears ago, together with the skeleton of an infant, wrapped W cloth. The remains of the un fortunate creatures have reposed for, perhaps, up wards of thirty years beneath the floor of this noto- > rlous house, and, until very reoently, it has been oeoupied by different persons during this entire period. The maidens whose skeletons are now ex humed, had they lived, would be old ladies, and the innocent babe would now be in the meridian of life. t- jU probability their murderers hava ere this nassed from earth, and rendered their account to that Great Tribunal that visits justice upon all who -escape the penalty of their crimes in this world,— Louisville JaurnaU - - the city.

The party were conducted from the ddjiot to Wil lard’s Hotel, in omnibuses under the direction of Geo. S. Kcontz, general agent at the Washington' station, assisted by Wm. J. Walker, passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio road. These performed their duty well.. The doth having been removed, the-Hon. Richard Wallaoh, Mayor of; Washington, who presided on the festive occasion, arose and said that the guests were about .to sepa rate, and, not to defeat the object for which the pre sent assemblage had been gathered, he would make a few allusions to the recent trip, in which he had been a participant. It was notfohly a matter of great delight to him, that a through route between Washington and New York had been perfected, but that he had also been enabled, on this excursion, to make the acquaintance of the most distinguished men who were engaged in the railroading interests of the country. The Mayor Bpoke at some length upon the grandeur of the object thus attained, and,, in conclusion, proposed the health of Wm. Prescott Smith, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Loud calls being made for that gentleman, Mr. Smith ad vanced to the centre of the table, and spoke in sub stance as follows: He said that it was distinctly understood that there was to bo no speech-making, but the Mayor has thrown the first brick, and makes it incumbent on to answer it; but owing to my infirmity of partial deafness 1 did not hear precisely what the Mayor said. It is entirely out of my line to .make speeches, and especially one before this quarter of a mile of intelligence on an occasion of so much pride and so much pleasure aB the opening of a through route between the two great metropolitan cities, New York and Washington. Thatobjecthas brought us together. We have with ub to-night representa tives of the press of the greatest cities in the Union, and of those branches of the Government most in terested in transportation. The press, through whose columns the public look to see what we mean to do, and which goes a great way towards forming public opinion on matters of great interest and in ternal improvements, is well represented at the lower end of the table. If you had not been so well entertained inside the oars, and had looked more upon the outside, you would have noticed measuree of improvement which would have challenged your admiration. The public want to see the absolute development of the capacity of routes already ex isting, and the Government itself desires it. They see the means adequate to that object. A double track Horn Ibis sit; to Hew York would uaTS tffsa nmitiffl wsiw re but tot la? wr labor. Th.© Bsltim'ore and Ohio Road, which I re present, would have had a double track ere this, but the country is indebted to Stonewall Jackson and his cohorts that it has not been accomplished. Three successive times have the iron and ties been gather ed together, and as often been diverted to rebuild the western line as often as destroyed. These facts, gentlemen, are true. The Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Road are now using a new double track between Philadelphia and Wilmington. At Philadelphia, anticipating a complete route between New York and Washington, we have by the use of others round the northern section of the city, between Ken sington and Gray's Ferry, made a complete route, without change of cars, between the Hudson river and the city of Washington. Alter the first of January all trains will take that route, and no passenger for New York will .have to change cars in Philadelphia at midnight. That abomi nation is over forever. Any man squeezed through the fennels of Philadelphia at midnight, with all its attendant discord, only knows the importance of this new plan. It is indeed a subject of national con gratulation. But, gentlemen, as I Bald before, there was no speaking to be done except to one another. New York is a giant city. Philadelphia is a won derful place, with its rectangular streets, white stone steps and white Bhutters, thatj)r. Holmes so well describes. Baltimore is a delightful place, full of intelligence, and beauty, and I will addiof patriotism, [applause,] but, hardly the least of these four great cities, Washington deserves our regards. The events of this war, if nothing else, make it absolutely certain that, for generations hence, Washington will be the great political oapital. In deed, Washington now assumes a place as one of the great metropolitan cities of the world. Such being the case, New York at one end, and the many intermediate cities on the line, what highway can demand more respect? I give you. gentlemen, “ The City of Washington 5 great for its archictec tural structures, great for its historical and political associations, and particularly great for its native inhabitants.” This toast was responded to in a neat and appropriate speech by Mayor Wallach. Mr. Smith then arose and stated the fact that there was one item omitted, and that was the toast, ” The Press,” I mean not only The Press of Phila delphia, which is a great paper, but the Press in general. I call upon Colonel Fitzgerald to respond. Col. Thomas Fitzgerald responded in a neat and appropriate manner, and, in ilia allusion to Major J. P. Jackson, S. M. Felton, William H. Gatzmer, Thos. A.: Scott, and J. Edgar Thomson, paid a handsome compliment to Mr. Felton for the energy he displayed when the rebellion commenced, in ar ranging to send President Lincoln to Washington, and also troops to defend the capital. ~ He also paid a well-merited tribute to all the rest of the gentle man named, particularly to Mr. Gatzmer. Colonel Fitzgerald spoke for nearly half an hour, and was frequently applauded. Col. I). C. McCallum, superintendent of military roads, was called upon, and made a brief address. ■ A toast being given to Mr. Garrett President of the Baltimore and Ohio Road, and he being absent, Mr. Smith again took the floors &nd responded in a brief and felioitous manner. Major Ben PerleyJPoore also responded to a' sen* timent in a witty style, aDd the excursionists soon after separated, and retired for the night beneath the hospitable roof of Messrs. Sykes, Chadwick, & Co. After breakfast, yesterday morning, about two thirds of the paity returned. The train made the following time from Washing ton to Gray’s Ferry bridge : The train started from Washington at twenty-one minutes past 9 o’clock, railroad , time, reaching Bal timore at 10.33; left Baltimore 10 50; left Havre-de- Grace 12.06, having lost between these two -last named places sixteen mines in waiting for the down train; reached WilmiDgton at 1.05, and here met the through train from New York ; left Wilmington at 1.12; passed Chester at 1.29, and reached Gray’s Ferry Bridge at At 1 44. Running time between Bal timore and Philadelphia, 2 hours 35 minutes; run ning time from Washington to Philadelphia, 3 hours 47 minutes; time lost during trip, 36 minutes; whole timefrom Washington to Philadelphia, 4 hours 23 minutes. " The prettiest part of the route is between the u switch*ofE” at the Trenton and Reading road, to the turn-out, from the Pennsylvania to the Phila delphia, 'Wilmington, and Baltimore road. The train passes, between these points, three times over the Schuylkill*-first at the Falls, then over the new bridge of the Pennsylvania * road, then over the Gray’s Ferry Bridge. The main joints of general interest may be summed up •follows: 32 miles of double traok have been laid, 18 miles more will be finished in six weeks; the road is graded nearly all the way to the Susquehanna livery the cross ties arc-all ready; the iron is on its way from England; it is expected to have it laid by next summer*, the Susquehanna bridge will be finished in about one year; the boat which crosses the Susquehanna at present, has a double track, capable of carrying eleven first-class passenger cars, or twenty freight cars*, time of boat cr or sing the river aforesaid, eight minutes, - Arrival of a United States Steamer from Charleston Bar—Terrific Fire kept up on Fort Johnson.—The supply steamer Mas sachusetts, Lieutenant - West ar rived at the Wavy Yard, yesterday morning,*from Charleston Bar, having left on Tuesday at 4 P.

Clark, colonel of the 123 d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers; and a distinguished divine of Allegheny City, will-lecture on The American War, its Present Influences and Results, in the Uni ted Presbyterian Church, Front street, above Jeffer son, on Thursday evening next. From what we have heard of Colonel Clark we believe this lecture will prove highly interesting as well aB instructive. The Colonel did good service in the late campaign in this State, and he is not only a warm supporter of the Government, in the struggle now going on, with his voice and pen, but he has wielded the sword and led his men in the thick of the confliot at Frede ricksburg and Chanoellorville.
