The following address from the workingmen of England to Mr. Lincoln, congratulating him agon his re-eleotlon, appear^ln the London Daily Keios of December 23.

If resist ance to the slave power eras the reserved watchword of your first election, the triumphant war-cry of your re-election is' death to slavery.’ From the com mencement of the Titanic American strife, the ; workingmen of Europe felt Instinctively that the i star-spangled banner earned the destiny of their class.

Mr. 'Barrett, the Swedenborgfan minister, whose lectures on Sunday, evening, at the corner of Broad and Brandywine streets, have attracted consider able attention, proposes to answer these questions to-morrow evening, according to the doctrine of the New Church, ’ , Congregationalism.— This movement, which' was begun in the summer of 1862, by Bev, D. L. Gear and a-feg other persons, in the upper sestlon of our city, In the old district of Kensington, has been productive of good results. Two additional churches have since been organized, and have met with success. The Second Church has leased the church building corner of Eleventh and Wood streets. Bev. G. W. Smiley, D. D;, is the pastor of the congregation. The Third, or Central 'Church was organized last May, as. another representative In this olty of the Congregationalism of our Pilgrim Forefathers and of the 'New Testament, with a membership of thirty-eight. Since that time wor ship has been regularly maintained in Concert Hall, with fair audiences ;-a pastor has been In stalled, a Sabbath sohcol has been started; and the membership'.has nearly, doubled. Nearly sis hun dred dollars have been contributed far foreign mis sions ; a chapel tent has been purchased for the Christian Commission, to be used this winter in the Army of the Potomac, and named, in honor of the pastor, “The Hawes Tabernacle,” at a cost of more than five hundred dollars; and a Soldiers’ Aid So ciety, auxiliary to the Christian Commbsion, is con stantly contributing to the relief of the army, , Legacies to Chubobxb.— The wealth falling to the Presbyterian ehurehes In Great Britain by last wills is quite considerable at this period. The English Presbyterian Synod reaelved for the en dowment of Its oollege a legacy of-.£25,000 within the year, and now It is announaed lu the Weekly Review for Nov. 19th, that ’’the late Daniel Ro bertson, Esq., for many years manager of the Na tional-Provincial Bank of England, who died in Edinburgh on the Othinst., has bequeathed a large part ol his estate to the sustentation Fund of the Pree Church of Scotland and -to the Synod or the -Presbyterian Church in England. His other legacies; . personal and public, amount to £26,000, and he directs his execu tors, after payment of these, and of all outstanding claims upon his estate, to pay over the whole residue of bis property to these two ecclesiastical bodies In equal portions. It Is Impossible as yet to say what the residue will amount to, but the sum will be a handsome one, and will bear a large proportion to the value of his whole estate. The lamented gen tleman was a native of the parish of Monzlevalrd, in the neighborhood of Crieff, and has left large Bums to the parish schools of Monzlevalrd and Cau vle, and to the poor of (nose parishes, and also to the parish of Crieff. He has also been a liberal benefactor of the Pree Church of Cray, In the Glen shee, where he had recently acquired the small es tate of Dalnaglar,” A Cam a coup ted.—A unanimous call to the Sastorate has been tendered to Bev. Martin F, ones, of this city, by the united churches of East Whltelandand Beesvfile, in Chester county. We arc Informed that Mr. Jones has signified his Inten tion to accept the call, and that he has already en tered upon his work there. We congratulate those churches on their acquisition, feeling that we have the most ample reason for so doing. Thu UhionTheological Seminary, of the N. S* Presbyterian.

Additions to Church Membership.— The Fourth Presbyterian Church of this olty received ten additions on profession, at their communion, Deo. 18th, making between forty and fifty since the Installation of the Bev. Mr. Bice as pastor. ‘“-Resignations.— The Bev. Robert Gamble has resigned the charge of the Union Presbyterian Church of this oltifc The Rev, Walter S. Diysdale has resigned the charge of the ohurch at May’s Handing, N. J., and taken chaTge of the Young Cadies’ Seminary at Bridgeton, N. J. Rev. B. A. Carden has resigned the pastorship of tho Church of the Intercessor of this city. The Bev. J. McO. Holmes has resigned the charge of Lee-avenue Reformed Dutch Church, Brooklyn, owing to continued 111 health. The Bev. Dr. Taylor, of the Strong-place Bap tist Church, Brooklyn, has resigned his charge on account of ill health. The Rev. S. W, Maglll has resigned the charge of tho Second Congregational Church, Waterbury, Conn. He enters the service of the American Mis sionaiy for the freedmen. : Liberality or Converted Heathen.— At Amoy the three hundred and ten native communl oants of the Dutch Reformed Ohurch cast into the Lord’s treasury, during the past year, at the rate of notices than $2.25 per communicant. When It Is considered that most of the members of the church belong to the artisan and laboring classes, and tbat such persons receive only front ten to fif teen cents a day for work,'lt will be apparent that they have acquired the grace of liberal giving. A mis ionary writes: “I think It Isa mathematical fact that If our home churches desire to keep pace with their Chinese brethren In the exercise of the grace of benevolence, they will be compelled to con tribute twice, If not thrice, over what they have been wont to contribute toward sustaining and sap* porting abroad the Gospel.” . Sunday-school Anniversary.— The twenty- Bints anniversary of the Sunday schools attaohed to tho Emmanuel (Episcopal) Church, Marlborough street, above Girard avenue, or which Rev. J. Gor don Maxwell is the pastor, will bo celebrated to morrow morning, Tho schools have progressed very favorably during the year just expired. A notice able feature In connection with the anniversary will be the present at ion'of missionary offetlngs, accom panied by oilginal and .peculiarly-designed floral emblems. Pbaybb Book job thb Chinese.—The Boy. Mr. Schereecbewsky, missionary of the Episcopal Church, Is engaged, with Bey.

New Chubohes m Pams,—No fewer than six cbnrobes are at tbe present moment In course of erection In Paris—namely, at Montrouge, at Men!l montant, on tbe Bonlevard des Invalldes, and the cbnrobes of St. Augustine, tbe Trinity, and St. Ambrose. . Twß Christian Advocate and Journal publishes a Summary of tbe several Conferences of the year 1884, by which it appears that the total membership is 927,316, and adds: « an apparent In crease of 8,*22 j there Is, however, an actual decrease of about that number, as the two colored Confe rences, -Delaware and Washington, which report 13,158 members, are mainly composed of societies embraced In the returns of Baltimore, East -Balti more and Philadelphia Conferences, which met in the spring, before the organization of the colored Conferences.” . The Capacity ob some Ohtjbok Edifices An English journal gives the capacity of some of the principal churches of Europe. St. Peter’s, at Rome, holds 54,000 persons; the Cathedral at Milan, 37,000; Str Paul’s, London, 25,000; St. Sonhla’s, Constantinople, 23,£00; Notre Dame, Paris, 21,000; the Cathedral at Pisa, 13,000; St. Mark’s,.Venice, T,oco. Fatheb Db Smet,— Among the foreigners who are at present in Borne, Is the celebrated Belgian Jesuit Missionary, Father de Smet, whose work among the Indians in the Bocky Mountains has been so successful. On seeing this venerable priest come to his audience, Pius IX. extended his arms to him and pressed him to his heart. Dp to June lest, the total number of Indians baptized by him amounted to 15,t00. -Before returning to Europe, he had a long conversation with President Lincoln, who granted him many favors for the missionaries of his society, and consequently for the Indians whom they have converted. Religious Drama.— Last week Cardinal; Wise, man’s drama of “The Bidden Gom”was performed In the hall o! the Boston 'College, by youths of the Church of the Immaoulate Conceptionthe object being to raise money to purchase an organ for the Sunday-school of that ohurch. Governor Andrew and his famUy were among the audlenoe. Proliiliitory Unties. Bunt’s Merchants’ Magazine, for January, con tains the following: . Experience is revealing the. many crude and ab surd provisions of the present tariff act, whereby the revenue of the country is diminished rather than increased. ■ Take the artioie of spool-cotton, for example. Sc lectlng this article as one solely of foreign manu facture,' our legislators have thought no duty too high. The present specific and ad valorem, duties amount to about sixty per cent, of the foreign cost, and are so arranged that on a return to lower prices lor raw cotton, they will amount to a tax or at least seventyfive per cent.—one altogether prohibitory. The protection incidentally given to a few New England spinners, at the expense or the Batted States revenue, Is enormous; the taxes paid by them, in eurreney, being only one-tenth part of those levied on the foreign spinners. .The internal taxis five per cent. In currency, a tax which pro duces from five to six cents per dozen at this time, and which will not yield more than two and one quarter cents a dozen at the ordinary prices of spool cotton. The duty on foreign .thread ranges from twenty-four to twenty-six cents per dozen, accord ing to quality, and Is payable in gold- When gold can be bought at a premium of 225, this is equal to 64® 600 per dozen In currency. Since the tariff act went Into effeot, the fluctuations In the prtoo of specie have made the duty, at times, equal to seventy-four cents In currency, against an average tax of six cents on the domestic article. The consequence Is an enormous falling off In the Imports, ana consequent specie revenue, raised from duties on spool cotton, whloh for many years has been upward of $300,000 in coin, at the port of New York alone, and which, for the past two years, has beeD $500,000 per annum. It Is absurd to sup. pose that a domestic tax of only six cents per dozen In'currency will make up this deficiency, even irthe entire trade could be transferred- to New England. Already the importations of this article have been largely diminished under successive advances of duty, and since Die last tariff act went Into effect they have almost ceased. The great and sudden reduction of imports for the current year cannot be attributed to oxoesslve importations prior to the passage of tbe act, since the imports of 1884 were very nearly the same as those of the two preceding years. The true explanation Is to be found in the josses which foreign spinners are now suffering. In their attempts to contend against these heavy odds, whereby importation is stopped. The duty has passed the point at which the article will yield revenue. The annexed tables are taken from the reports published weekly by the New York Customs, and are approximately correct, no offlaial statement of the revenue from spool cotton being accessible.
