It is curious enough that the sympathies of the British merchants are on the side of the powers that be; and the Record is dealing out sharp measure to them for their pro posals of British intervention to stop the rebels, gilding the suggestion with the con dition that the Imperialists shall give "per fect religious toleration" all over China, which, even if willing, it would be utterly unable to secure. It is pretty clear that with all their fanaticism, the rebels are ac quainted with, and largely influenced by the truths of revealed religion. At all events, they are the Iconoclasts of the East; and their sweeping destruction of idol tem ples and idol gods reminds one of the words and power of him who once said, "Against all the gods of Egypt will I execute judg ment. lam the Lord." The detailed description of the CORONA TION AT Moscow, from the pen of the cele brated Crimean correspondent of the Times, is one of the most remarkable specimens to what gorgeous use and service the English language can be turned by a man of genius. The vivid word-picturing, and the power of minute observation of Mr. Russel, "the skillful Irishman," as the Times calls him, are rare indeed. [See extract in another column.] It is said that this brilliant writer has a salary from the princely-paying Thunderer, of £l5OO per annum, with all his expenses paid. The spectacle at Moscow was got up at vast expense, and its effect on the multi tudes assembled from all nations was no doubt a calculation of Russian statecraft. Absolute power is personified in the Emperor —the corrupt Greek Church owns him as its Pope, and millions almost adore him as the " Lord's Anointed." The public funds have been in a very depressed condition, from the drain of gold and silver to France and to China, as well as from the failure of the Royal British Bank. The news of a good harvest in the United States is cheering, and I have no doubt that your farmers will be called on for a large supply by European na tions. J. W.

This production belongs to the controversial class, but it is not, therefore, the less valuable. It is able in argument, and kind in spirit. It goes to the true fountain of knowledge, and drawe in rich abundance. It states clearly the sentiment of the Presbyterian Church; proves, defends, and answers objections. The occasion of the Discourse gives it an inter est. A Methodist brother boasted that no Pres byterian minister could be found to preach a ser mon from Matthew xviii : 23-35. Mr. McLean was urged to respond. He took the text, and ex pounded it; but could not find there the " Perse verance of the Saints," nor the opposite. But as others used the passage to the damage of the doctrine, be took occasion to defend the doctrine; and, at the urgent solicitation of his hearers, he committed his remarks to the prin ter's hands. The saints will reach heaven, because they have set their faces thither, and they will travel all the way. They will not turn aside, nor stop. We know that they will hold on their way, because the Lord has told us that they shall. He has be gun a good work in them, and he will perfect it. He will never leave them nor forsake them. He gives to them eternal life, and he will never let them perish. ' The true Christian is humble, de vout, always earnest in efforts at progress. He avoids temptation. He laboxl diligently. He uses all the means of grace. He reads, and hears, and prays, and labors always. The Lord gives him wisdom, watches over him, defends him, strengthens him. Thus sustaihed; - he runs his race, and wears the crown. Tisk BIBLE HAND-BOOK; An Introduction to the Study of the Sacred Scripture. By foseph Angus, D. D., Member of the Royal Asiatic Society. 18mo., pp. NO. Philadelphia: Tip S. 4- Alfred Harden, 144 Chestnut Street. 1856. We have felt no little surprise at witnessing such an amount of really valuable matter con densed into the compass of one volume, as this book contains. Dr. Angus has been long known in London, as one of the most learned of the ministers among the Dissenters of the great me tropolis. Of his acquirement, this work is are- markable testimony. It is evidently the result of much reflection, and the produce of the mental toil of many years. In fact, it must have re quired almost as much labor to condense the ma terials of the volume as to collect them. The main object of the work is to teach men to under stand and appreciate the Bible ; and, at the same time, to give such information on ancient litera ture and history as may aid the - work of educe tion among all classes. For the attainment of this object, the matter of the work has been so arranged, that the following subjects may be studied by referring to particular parts of this volume, viz: Exegetical, Historical, Systematic, and Pastoral Theology, and Evidences. Under the head of Exegesis are placed Philology, Criticism, and Hermeneutics. Under Historical, Archmology, and History of Doctrine are discussed. Dog matic•at.d Practical Theology are the sub-divisions of Systematic Theology; while Homiletics are nced under the Division of Pastoral • briefly The oti ology and it will be found that this remark ably.arranged hook will serve as a suggestive text book on all these topics. while it is a learned In troduction to the inspired volume itself. To min isters, lieintiates and students, this will be found an exceedingly valuable Hand-Book. THE PRESI3YTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE. grins gitpartintnt. Election News. PENNSYLVANIA. - The election on Tuesday seems to have gone strongly Democratic. The returns received are far from being per fect, but they indicate very mainifestly, that Buchanan is to have a very strong vote in the State. We give a few of the figures received, in dicating majorities : Republican and American.—Pittsburgh, 709 ; Allegheny, ; (whole county of Allegheny, 4,000;) Delaware, 600; Union, 600: Lancaster, 3,000. Democratic.—Philadelphia, 6,000; Berks, 5,- 500; Westmoreland, 1200; Northumberland, 600; Lehigh, 900; Schuylkill, 900; Bucks, 1,200; Carbon, 600. °Bro.—The Republican vote in this State is not so strong as was anticipated by some poli ticians. The party majority, however, is con jectured to be large. INDIANA.—The returns are meagre, as yet. MARYLAND.—In Baltimore the American ticket for Mayor was carried by a majority of some six teen hundred. A majority of the Councilmen were elected by the same party. It is stated that, during the latter part of the day there was a great deal of disorder and fighting, pistols and guns being freely used. The fighting in the Bth and 14th Wards was particularly severe ; four men were killed and fifty wounded—arbong the latter three children. FLORIDA.—First reports stated that the elec tion in Florida had resulted in the success of the Democratic ticket for Governor and Congress, and a large Demooratie majority in the State Legisla ture. Later information represents the result as doubtful. CONNECTICIIT.—An election for Town officers has occurred in about half of this State. The Hartford Courant gives returns from one hundred and thirty-two towns, of which seventy-four give Fremont, fifty-three Buchanan majorities, five being divided. The Americans, it is stated, voted with the Demoorats. A despatch, dated Springfield, Mass., Oct. 10, says the Buchanan, Fillmore, and Wbig parties have coalesced upon the County and Congres slang nominations. Wm. C. Fowler (Hunker Whig,) was nominated for Congress. Schools. We, last week, added to our list of advertise ments, notices of the KxsuAcoeuntas SEMINARY, for male and female pupils, and of the SEWICKLEY ACADEMY, a Classical and Commercial school for boys.

BETLIEL ACADEUY also, under an enlarged name, asks to share in the duties and honors of training our youth for usefulness. EMI A very destructive fire occurred in our vicinity, (at Manchester,) on Sabbath afternoon. The wagon factory of Phelps, Car & Co., and the plow factory of Hall & Co. with nearly a whole square of buildings, were consumed. The loss is estimated at $150,000 to $175,000. It appears to have been the work of an incendiary. Health of Charleston. We had hoped to be able to announce, this week, a decided decreasein the number of deaths from yellow fever. Judging, however, from the daily reports of the Board of Health, the num ber is somewhat greater than at any previous time. As, however, we go to press before re ceiving the official bill of weekly mortality, we cannot give the exact number.—Southern Pres. MuntEsoTa.—lt is estimated that at the present time the territory of Minnesota contains a popu lation of one hundred and forty thousand souls. This is probably an underestimate, as last Winter an official reckoning made the total one hundred and twenty thousand. It is calculated, however, that by the close of the emigration season of the year 1857, the aggregate will be three hundred thousand. If this be so, Minnesota will enter the circle of States with three members of the lower house of Congress. She is now entitled to two. California News. NEW Yonx, October 13.—The George Law ar rived with California dates to the 20th ult,, and nearly $2,000,000 in specie. Politics occupied the public mind, to, the ex clusion of ail other subjects. In San Francisco there was a movement to unite the various elements of the opposition to the Democrats, who are bitter enemies of the Vigilance Committee. The Democrats had nominated Charles L. Scott and Joseph C. AVKlbben for Congress. John L. Durkee and Charles Erand had been tried on the charge of piracy, for assisting in the removal of the State arms from the schooner Julia, in the harbor of San Francisco, during the reign of the Vigilants. The jury returned'a ver dict of acquittal after five minutes deliberation. Trade is dull at San Francisco, but - with the removal of the social disorders, a return of busi ness activity is confidently looked for. From New Granada we learn that Gov. Cairo Gallego had been inaugurated at Panama on the 11th inst. This insures a peaceful condition of things on the Isthmus. The dates from Nicaragua via Panama are to the 22d ult. Walker was still at Grenada with eight hundred men. It was rumored that he would shortly take possession of Greytown, and afterwards march upon Costa Rica. Five hun dred Costa Ricans, under General Cauas, were at Guanacaste, ready to oppose the threatened in vasion.

N. M. Poindexter, of the Union office, says : "Some weeks since, being seriously affected with pain and uneasiness at the stomach, loss of appetite, and at times strong symptoms of Dys pepsia, I was induced to try your Holland Bit ters, and I feel it but an act of justice to the ar ticle, as well as for the good of those who may be affected with like derangement of the stomach, to state that the use of one single bottle of this medicine proved of incalculable benefit, having freed the stomach from all sense of depression. and removed every symptom of Dyspepsia. I would also remark, that two other members of my family, who were afflicted in a similar manner with myself, were entirely relieved by the use of a single bottle each." See Advertisement. LADVERTIBEIONT4 Derortgement of the Liver Is one of the most common, as well as the most formidable of diseases known to American phy sicians. It had for years attracted the closest attention of the medical faculty in all parts of the United States, and yet.up to the time of the discovery of Dr. hi'Lane's great Specific, it was almost beyond the reach of medical skill. Thou sands had perished without evens hope of relief, and although thousands maryet be, deatined to feel the direful effects of this most complicated disease, it is now, thanks to the research of Dr. bi'Lane, most completely brought within the scope of medical control. the proprietors of the Liver Pills feel confident that thy offer a remedy which has been fully tested by time, and which has never failed of success when fairly tried. ear Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. M'Lane's Celebrated Liver Pills, manufactured by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, Pa.

The steamer Niagara brings European news to the 27th of. September. There are still_ some rumor of wars in pros pect, but nothing to produce any great alarm.. The demands of England and France, on Na ples, for an internal reform in her government, are not very definitely known. The. right of in terference .is also doubted by ninny. Still, it seems to be a thing decided on. Each of those governments is sending eight war vessels, which are to see to the interests of theirirespentive peo ple and governments, in ease9of a diplomatic rup ture; and that rupture is ordered, provided the demands made are declined,..:Sardinia, also takes part in the affair, and Austria has been notified of the course determined on. To sympathize with the oppressed is it duty, but an interference, by oreigners, with the internal affairs of a country, is of doubtful propriety. The case which will justify it, must be peculiar. The appointments to the - Sees of London and Durham show a leaning on the part of the Gov ernment toward Evangeliem. This is indicative of a conservative influence, in these days of pro clivity through High Churchism and Puseyism to Popery, which is encouraging. OPEN Ara PREACHING.—The Weekly Christian News says: " The splendid weather with which we have been favored this season, has been taken advan tage of by several devoted clergymen of the Es tablished Church, and equally ueyoted ministers of Non-conforming Churches, to preach the Gos pel of Christ in the open air. We have ourselves had the privilege of engaging frequently in these delightful services, and can bear personal testi mony to the earnestness ;with which the public listen to the great truths of salvation. The spirit of indifference to the Gospel, with which it has been, the fashion to charge the multitude, does not seem warranted by their behavior. Either this charge was unjust, or a' happy change has taken place recently. We have again and again seen the promiscuous crowd listening with a decorus attention which could not have been surpassed by the ordinary congregation- in one of our public sanctuaries. We have seen the effects of deep thought traced on the countenance, and the big wear stealing down the cheek of the listener. And t e have known instances in which the name of he preacher and• that of the church or chapel in which he usually officiated, have been asked that the'opportunity of hearing him again might be enjoyed. These facts, are exceedingly encourag ing, and .indicate clearly the path of duty to the heralds of the cross. Let the ambassadors of Christ speak, and we., are certain our countrymen will hear. Let tbem proclaim a full, free and complete salvation by the ever-blesse,d'Redeemer, and the proclamation will find an echo in many a heart." ' Fran e• TESTIMONY POE MISSIONARIES.—The scientific expedition, under Prince Napoleon, to the North Seas, speaks favorably of the Danish missionary labors in Greenland.: With an odd inconsistency, it, calls the Mora vian brethren, ' adepts of the wild, stern sect' of the Hussites of oldentime, but acknowledges the admirable results of their labors as bearing the impress of a high degree of piety, an ardent faith, and a self-devotion only to be justly measured by ihe scene on which it is exercised. Greatly astonished were the crew, for the mostpart illite rate, to find that the wild Esquimaux crowd ing on board, knew, both how to read and write ! Christianity, in giving a softness to their manners which many civilized nations might envy, has developed the faculties awarded to them by na ture. No parody of civilized life is to befound' among them, to the honor of the Danish mission aries be it, spoken.' The scientific party were conducted to the different scenes of interest by the Missionary Jansen, whom they found a most intelligent and cultivated man, greatly, it would appear, to their surprise: May it have struck some of the party at least, that when the king dom of God is first sought, all other necessary things are superadded by our promise-keeping Father The reception given to the Prince's party by the students and workmen, on their visit to Norway, is gratifying, by the cordial feel ing expressed toward our country." Samons.—The Minister of Public Instruction writes to M. Recteur, Rector of an Acadetny,.' ' . " _ Monsieur le Reeteur :—I bear that the Prot estant families, Fren'chitnd:English, living: in the department of Pas de Calais, have expressed fears, that their children will 'not, in future, find in the Mixedschools a sufficient'protection far the-exer cise of their religious worship. It is necessary that such fears should not be allowed to circulate. His Majesty desires to maintain largely all the fuadamental rights guaranteed by the Constitu tion of the Empire. These families may rest as sured that the liberty of worship will be re spected as formerly in the mixed schools, and the children belonging to the different schools recog. nized by the State will find a sincere protection in the free administration of their religious beliefs. Will you, M. Rectenr, communicate these instruc tions to the chiefi or directors of the mixed schools of your district." Calvin X. Fitch, A. IL, (late of New York, author of the Invalid's Guide and.

DIED—On the morning of the 29th of September, very auddenly, BOWARIi BLAIR, infant on of Samuel and Eliza• bah BL Bock, of Perrysville, Juniata County, Pa., aged 1 year and 13 days. Drsn—On Friday morning, the 26th ult., an infant child of Mr. James Morrow. Born into a- world of sin, it endured suffering for a short season, exciting the love and tender sympathies of fond parents, soon fell sweetly asleep in Jesus—a bud to expand, bloom and bear fruit in heaven. It is no more here, for Jesus said, " Suffer little children to come unto me, and for bid them not, for of such is et e - kingdom of heaven." Ulan—Wear Washington, 0., September 18th, 1856, DAviD SMOLT, in the 27th year of his age. The circumstances attending the'death of this youngman demand more than a passing notice. He was the son of an economical. industrious, successful farmer, and early im bibed tbe habits of his father. On the morning of the 11th of September, be went to the field to bring in the horses, that they might be fed and harnessed, prior to their being hitched to the plough. As bad been his custom, be took with him no bridle, but mounting on the back of one that had long been very gentle, be started off for the barn; but before he reached it the horse becoming suddenly frightened, threw him off, and in the fall fractured the spinal cord, thus causing his death. He survived seven days, during which time he suffered dratelfully, and con versed very little. Ho had been long severely afflicted with dyspepsia, and consequently was often . much depressed in spirits, which caused him to lead a taciturn and retired life. He expected to die through the influence of bid disease, and bad no thoughts of being hurled into eternity by such an unforeseen casualty. But ho went in a way he little expected. Reader, let us be warned; for death may coma at a time and in away unlimited for by us. The 'death of Mr. Sproat, together with the death of another 'young man name Stranitheh; who came to his - and suddenly b`3 , ' breaking his teak in attempthig to turn a.'summerset," dixiinibttion of, an actor in a circus show; has caused .atnuPll sorrow among the inhabitants . of tbdacommunity. 9,.that these warnings may be iaken.by the multitude of thought • less youth in whose midat they. have heeit given! My band 'trembles when I think that my yining friends Siittat and Stranithen are dead i How true, that the Bon of Man comes to judge us in such an hour as we think not. Our time on earth is short. W. M. F. Dizn—On Sabbath morning, the 28th ult., very suddenly, Mr. Mantaw Moscow, grandfather of the above infant, in the 67th year of his ago.' The death of this brother beloved, has occasioned stiv. prise ant sorrow—surprise from:the suddenness of the fatal stroke, and deep sorrow for the lose to his family, the com munity and church of which hs was so long an humble and worthy member. At the-close of harvest he took a disease in one of his toes, which soon affectid the one contiguous. For a time he suffered much pain, which afterwards greatly subsided. The toes both turned black, and he apprehended the-loss of them, with confhiement for a season to his home, and nothing more. He was cheerful and happy, always pleased and Cheered with the company of his friends and neighbors. And thus he remained, apparently greatly better, until the morning of his decease, when approaching the breakfast table, he suddenly complained of numbness in his leg, with faintness, also. This spread up uuickly to right side, and seemed there to stop for a moment; but when assisted to his bed, he said to his sou, who had just come in, that this -numbness was spreading all over his body, and -that it was over with him. In a very few min utes after this he was corpse. This disease, whatever it was In nature and character, astonished, as we understand, as something new and unusual;the intelligence'of his skillful physicians. Ile waslongaworthy member of Bethelchurch , a kindand indulgentparent,an upright citizen, an amiable and kind-hearted friend ; one in whom you could confide; one whose friendship was not evanescent as the morning cloud or, early dew. He was reliable and firm, always meeting you, whethei at home or abroad, with a cheerful countenance, and with the grasp of the hand that showed sincerity of heart. lie has gone. We will miss him in the domestic circle and of God.. We cannot but mourn. We feel our lose, and would cry, " Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth ; the faithful fail from among the children amen: o But our loss is his gain. He has fought the last battle. gained the victory, and now, we doubt not, wears the crown, ;Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. G. IC limu—dt Windsor Place, Lancaster County, on Tuesday, the 28d ult., Mrs. °ANEURISM Jammu., aged 82 years and 2 months. The subject of this obituary was•orie of-the Moat useful and influential members of the community in which she resided. Of her it may be truly said, she lived the life and died the death of the righteous. She inherited teem her father, the Rev. John Carmichael, and her more distant ancestors, the blessings of the covenant; and in answer to their prayers, God set her apart in early youth for himself. She has been a faithful, active and influential disciple of Jesus Christ during two-thirds of a century. Endowed with unusual energy and decision of character, her in fluence has ever been deeply felt, Her temperament was ardent, and whatever her hands found to do, she did with her might. Her friendship was sincere, her disposition cheerful and happy. These traits of character, sanctified by Divine grace, gave her extensive influence in the cause of her Redeemer, at the fireside, in the social circle, and in the world at large. While all who knew her, admired her cheerful and amiable disposition, and loved her for the sin cerity of her friendship, few could he insensible to the in- Silence of her ardent attachment to the God of her youth. The benevolence of her heart always coincided with the order of her temperament. Aid for the cause of Christ never failed to meet, in her bosom, with a cordial response. At home and abroad, her benevolence has been extended with a bountiful hand. Her praise is in the churches, not only of our own happy country, hat in those of India, italestine, Africa and the isles of the ocean. She was one of the few who, posseising more than an ordinary share of the riches of this world, had the grace to use them in the service of the Lord. Long shall her name be remembered. It is embalmed in many hearts, cheered by her kindness and benevolence. Although her work was drawing to a close, and her aged footsteps were treading on the borders of the grave, she could look onward into the 'future world with that confidence in the promises of her heavenly Father which hail sustained her amid the scenes of a long and eventful life, and could equally uphold her, in the solemn and trying hour of death. She could say, I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day," With calm resignation, and unwavering faith, she met that day; and that solemn hour, beautifully illustrating the character that could feel, as well as say, . 1 , Hy lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see, ' MT steadfast heart shall knoW no fear; ' • -That heart will rest on Thee.
