But afterwards came the victories of truth in increasing. power, until now, with a population of up wards of one hundred thousand, Islington, as far as the Church of England is cod acerned, is without exception, evangelical in its ministry. New churches are being con -1 stantly built, and into every one of them an earnest preacher of the old doctrines of the Reformation is introduced. The present vicar, (the son of the Bishop of Calcutta,) has a voice along with the trustees of every new church, in the election of a minister. The Tractarians have churches outside the borders, but never could obtain a footing amon,?: us. A Mr. McKreth, a rich layman, recently wanted to get up a Puseyite church ; the vicar resisted, and the Tractarian, in his disappointment, has abused his courteous opponent very bitterly. The second case is that of the neighbor ing parish of Clerkenwell, where, as the ex ception to the general rule, the election of the incumbent is in the hands of the parishioners. The excitement arising out of an appeal thus made recently to the popular voice, has been very great, and the crowds that have repaired to the church to bear the candidates have been very large. Meetings have been held, addresses de livered, and the vestrymen, in whose bands the election ultimately lay, have been ea gerly canvassed. ' There were four candi dates selected to preach " probationary ser mons." Three of these were Evangelicals, and one of them, Mr. Lester, had studied theology under Chalmers and Welsh, after 'finishing his University course in England, besides being an author of some reputation. The popular Protestant candidate was a Mr. Maguire, Secretary of the Islington Protest ant Institute. Many heavy blows has he dealt to the Cardinal and - his satraps in our par ish" during the last few years. The Papists of Clerkenwell and the Latitudi narians and High Churchmen were for Mr. Roberts, who had been curate of the parish for some time, and who ignobly sought to curry favor with Romanists by deprecating all " controversy with fellow-Christians." This gentleman was one of those Essex clergymen,' whose lineaments, as a fox-hunt ing, worldly band, I sketched in a former letter; but at the same time he possessed both .tact and eloquence. At last the hour for final decision came, and amid intense popular excitepent ; and "the result," says the Times, was "received with loud cheers by a large concourse of persons." Mr. Ma guire was elected' by a majority of fifteen over his opponent. I know the successful candidate well; he is an earnest catholic spirited man. He is sure to fill the long deserted pews, and to visit the people in their homes. It is a triumph of evangelism over worldliness, and gives a signal illustra tion of the value that the laity attach to the fragment of a popular right, which the vile system of patronage and purchase in the English Church has so wickedly wrested from them. In London there are other " fragments" of the same system, espe cially in the case of " Afternoon " or " Evening Lectureships;" and it is in this way that William Romaine and others emi nent in usefulness, kept alive the torch of truth amid the thick darkness of the last age, and the earlier portion of the present century. The power of election resting, how ever, in the representatives of the Tate pay ers, and not in the communicants, is but a poor imitation after all, of the Scriptural and Presbyterian system of election by the com municants. Turning to COUNTRIES OF THE EAST ; it appears that in Persia, Russian influence preponderates, and Persia is preparing an expedition against a neighboring State. Two war-steamers have been ordered from Calcutta to the Persian gulf. In CHINA, the insurgent forces have fora considerable time been going forward on their path of conquest. A rally in favor of the old Tartar dynasty seems lately to have taken place; but its success is probably only partial and temporary. The "rebels"are, undoubtedly, to a certain extent, under the influence of Bible principles, although these are mingled with much that is to be de plored. The results of this mighty movement are in the bands of Him who, in the compara tively slow developments of his mighty plans, exercises the faith of his Church. How narrow our views; how impatient our spirits; and how prone to unbelief, when the enemy seems to prevail ! The , Church will have her rewards, if she but have long patience. It is the firm convic tion of many, that the nest ten years will be ' full of wondrous things—awful, stupendous, undreampt of by politicians, but " the bur den" of prophetic and Apocalyptic vision, and in the issue inconceivably glorious. A discussion in writing has been going forward between the Secretary of the BRITISH TEMPERANCE LEAGUE AND LORD STANLEY, on the principle of compulsion, in reference to the sale of intoxicating drinks, and as illustrated by the Maine Liquor Law. The correspondence is elaborate on both sides. It seems to me that we are very far from a state of public opinion, or of social habits, which would give practical and pres ent interest to such a question. The Gov ernment persists in the licensing system; and in thus drawing revenue from the peo ple whom drinking habits brutalize, con signing many of them to those prisons, and subjecting them to those prosecutions, which form such a frightful item in our annual ex penditure. I think the principle is sound, that to attempt to enforce a law which there is no heart to keep, but rouses enmity, both in the individual and the mass; and I be lieve that any attempt to suppress drinking by a wholesale sweeping measure, would lead to a terrible reaction for evil. It is melancholy to look around and see the mis chief ceased by gin palaces and public houses, and by their being open also on the Lord's day. The facilities of temptation might be much diminished by wise and Christian legislation. Meantime, let sana tory reform ; the making of the houses and homes, by landlords, more comfortable; the education of the young; the establishment of working men's " Homes," in which coffee and tea can be had, of the best qual ity, at a low rate, with access to a pure litera ture and the newspapers; let them be cher ished to the utmost; and let arguments, based on reason, on religion, and on medical testimony, be addressed both to'young and old, to persuade them to abstain. Among the moral means employed for the lteponex OE THE WORKING CLASSES, not the least promising are two publications issued by Mr. Smithies, a gentleman of rare philanthropy. He is an employee in one of our public works, and without any personal advantage; nay, hitherto at a positive loss, he commenced, some yeani ago, and still sustains, " The Band of Hope," and " The British Workingman!' The first is for children; and by sweet stories, golden sen tences, and beautiful wood cut illustrations, (as I oan testify from personal observation,) THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE. young people arc taught in the most charm ing way, le sons in favor of self-denial, mu tual love, and humanity to the dumb crea tion. There are many " Band of Hope So cieties," for the promotion of temperance, abroad over the kingdom. Next, there is "The British Workman," for the laborer and artisan. There lies a number of it on the table while I write. Here at the top are wood cuts of six or seven diprent, trades, each in the person of a proper representa dun, and in the midst— " A STAVE FOR THE TIMES." "Let wages be all settled Ere Friday night be gone, The weekly work be ended By Saturday at One. Let hatatless recreation Give its after hours a zest, And the Sunday be devoted To worship and to rest." The first article is "A Visit to the Hag gerstown Coal Heavers ;" and it gives us (with portraits of four of this class,) a de lightful account of "men who were once apparently hopeless characters, the husbands of heart-broken wives, the fathers of ragged and wretched children, and the constant visitants of police courts, now sober and in dustrious characters, some of whom are do ing well, not only for this life, but the next; and who may now be seen on the Sabbath, accompanying their well-dressed families to the house of God." Next comes the' con tinuation of a series of articles on workmen who have risen to eminence ; and here it is "celebrated Shepherds," both home and for eign. Among the former are the Rev. John Brown, of Hadington, a William Caw, author of a :recent work, " Truth frac' rang the Heathen," (a. Prize Essay on the Evidences of Christianity,) and David, Saunders, "The. Shepherd of Salisbury Plain,"—while among Shepherds of other lands, are Andrew Montague, who became Professor in a French College ; and Giotte, who became the painter, sculptor, and architect of Florence. Papers like these, inspiring workmen with self-respect, and .with the idea of what good conduct and self-reliance may make them, together with tales, maxims, " col umns for husbands and wives," "full of wise counsels in pit by Saxon "—and such papers as " What will Ruin Children," " Drink," (the father handing the foaming tankard, as the wood cut shows, to his little boy, for the first time)—are admirably calculated to do great good. Referring to these publications, I am re minded of the gratifying fact, that Art, espe cially in the matter of wood cutting, is now so much employed in the advancement of re ligion and morals. It is true, that The London Journal, Reynolds' Miscellany, and publications of even a viler character, ad vance their circulation by Such means. But Art is becoming a consecrated talent on both sides of the Atlantic, in connexion with lit erature, and will do so more and more. Our Tract Society, in its "Sunday at Home," "Leisure Hour," as well as in very many of its ordinary narrative tracts and " Month ly Messengers," together with the Tract Magazine, makes admirable use of wood en graving. Its accumulated property in this department is worth many thousand pounds; and the artist, John Gilbert, who began his career in connexion with the Society, has (not by its managers only, but by other em ployers and patrons, both in painting and wood engraving,) amassed a fortune, I am assured, of X 50,000 ! He is not more than thirty-five years of age. His genius is ex traordinary. What can be done by genius, on or by a piece of wood, will reveal itself to your eye, if you permit me, (whenever you visit London,) to take you into our sub editor's room, and show you some of Gil bert's beautifully carved blocks, among his stores. A splendid entertainment was given lea week to PROFESSOR MORSE, the eminent American who invented the Electric Tele graph. The Chairman, Mr. Cooke, a distin guished director of the English Electric Tele graph Company, who, with Professor Wheat stern, first practically established the Elec tric Telegraph in Great Britain, gave a most interesting sketch of the rise of, the railway system, and its speedy traveling, as con trasted with the mail coaches of the olden time. Next he referred to the establish ment of Ocean Steamers between England and the United States, in which he said; "America takes the lead—produces the swiftest ships, yachts, and steamboats." Then came "the grand idea" of the tele-' graph, such an advantage to a vast country like America, and this invention originated with Professor Morse, whose system is the best, and " the simplest that ever has, or ever will be conceived." Three points in Profes sor Morse's speech deserve notice. First, His acknowledgment of God in human dis coveries, the " simultaneity " of which, springing up in many minds'at once, finds 46 its proper solution in that the great Author of all good, the Giver of every .gift to the world, intends, when such a boon is bestowed, that He first and prominently shall be recog nized ;" so that when many minds have been directed to one point without the possibility of intercommunication, "one is lead to ex claim, as by an irresistible impulse, ' What hath God wrought Y' " Second, The oppor tunity furnished and embraced to express and promote mutual good-will between our two great nations. How important Third, The wonders and blessings yet to be devel• oped by the telegraph. "Imbibing," says Professor .Morse, " the spirit of the motto Excelsior, we must look onward, until all nations shall be linked in electric bonds, and the telegraph over land, and beneath the sea, shall proclaim a universal union. Then the universal telegraph motto shall be not E pluribus union., but Ex omnibus union." Modern discoveries are in the hands of Him who is Head over all things to the Church, and are his pioneers! Blessed thought ! The day is coming when the telegraph shall be employed, not " to speed the soft intercourse from pole to pole" of human friendship, nor yet to arouse and alarm by tidings of sudden revolutions, or of battles lost and won, but to tell of " nations born in a day," of " Babylon the great fallen," of tyrants crushed, and hoary superstitions overthrown, and that forever I The prospect of a DIRECT CORN TRADE between Great Britain and Western Amer ica excites a lively interest at this moment, in consequence of the arrival at Liverpool of the Dean Richmond, from Chicago, with fourteen thousand bushels of wheat, coming by a lirect route through Canada. We shall need wheat this year from "the far West," and so will France, which, by the inundations of last Summer, as well as a de ficient crop, must be a buyer in American markets. The great mistake of the Govern ment last year was to go by its agents as a buyer to the United States, and to bring home grain to sell below cost price, to the ruin of lawful corn speculators. This course has helped to precipitate the present money crises in France, where dangerous elements are at work. J. W. P. S. A High Churchman, the Rev. A. Greywell, wbo re-married a couple previous ly united in a Dissenting place of worship, before the register, bas made a public apol ogy to the Committee of the Deputies of Protestant Dissenters of the three Denom ination;,who raised a prosecution against ie thinks now that such marriages are not only legally valid, but " binding in the sight of the Church," and has agreed to pay all the expenses. The notorious I\lr. Neale, the Tractarian Hymn writer, teaches that ,‘ she's not an honest woman" who is married except by a priest! Such is the Sacramentarianism which has in one case only cried " peceavi." The Allied fleets have not yet repaired to the Bay of Naples. Russia has been doing her utmost to prevent the demonstration. Within a week, the Globe says, it will be made, unless the King yields. M. De Mora, whom I formerly reported as in the hands of the Inquisitors at Madrid, has been liberated through the intervention of Lord Clarendon, and is on his way to England. Not from any other motive than fear of European agitation and domestic trouble, did the priest-ridden Spanish Gov ernment let the victim depart in safety For the Presbyterian Bannerand Advocate.

The deceased spent most of her early life in the family of an uncle, Neville B. Craig, BK., of Pittsburgh. Her pro fession of attachment to Christ was made In the First Pres byterian church of that city, in which many Christian friends remain, to whom her memory is precious. During her residence, of nearly ten years, at Washington, she also endeared herself to many, beyond the circle of her own happy home, and maintained, until death, the constancy of Christian character, in the Church of her birth and of her choke. Many, indeed, were the conflicts of her spirit, at• tendant upon the progress of a slow pulmonary (Bream ; yet grace won a complete victory over the longings of na ture, and Made her resigned to the Supreme will, which dermas ltd her reparation f.om a beloved husband and chil dren, dearer than her own life. Happily she departed, as we believe, to the rest of abetter world, leaving the bequest of heaven's richest blessing to the bereaved, whom she left to sorrow, yetnot as those without hope.
