I went down to PORTSMOUTH on the 18th
inst., in order to officiate, by appointment of
the Landon Presbytery, in a newly im
provised church, and to a newly formed
Longregation there, of a most interesting
ch itacter. An opportunity is thus given of
giving some information as to the advance
of English Presbyterianism, as well as of
noticing the great depot of the naval
strength of the British empire. Ports
mouth contains a population of about
eighty thousand souls. These are almost
all connected with the naval, military and
a iamen's or " dpckmen's " calling. It has a
magnificent road-stead for ships of war. It
contains a considerable garrison. In its
aval dook-yards, three thousand hands are
mployed. There I saw in progress of
huilding, "The Royal Sovereign," of 131
uns, larger and longer than even the Duke
Wellington. The Block House, (blocks

P. S.—Some severe remarks of a portion
of the English press, on the speculations, by
French ministers, and by the Emperor him
self, in the funds, &0., and thereby accumu
lating large fortunes in an unprincipled
manner, has called forth a remonstrance
against freedom, from the official Moni
teur. The Times flings back a dignified de
fiance to the Emperor and his creatures, and
tells them, that at no cost will England
suffer the freedom of our press to be med
dled with. The horning Post, one of "the
base exceptions " denounced by the Times,
chimes in with the Ilfoniteur ; which is very
base on its part.
This (the 28th of October) day concludes
the six months allowed by the Treaty of
Paris, for the evacuation of the Principali
ties by Austria, and the closing of the
Dardanelles to ships of war. The Post, how
ever, says, as the Treaty has not been carried
out, (on the part of Russia,) "the. obliga
tions of the other parties are suspended."
It is believed that France aupports Turkey,
and that . an Alliance is in danger.
The French and English Ambassadors are
this day to leave Naples, the King being
obstinate. It is not likely, however, there
will be any revolution, as soldiers swarm
everywhere.
In Spain, Narvaez has thrust out O'Don
nell, to prepare for a Ministry still more ab
solute. The Queen, profligate and unprin
cipled, is dominant. Her infamous mother,
by a Royal decree, has all her property re
stored, and her character pronounced im
maculate !
Sir Robert Peel, who has just returned
from the Coronation at Moscow, says Cron

Napier, if he had had aught of the daring
of Nelson. Of that I believe there is no
doubt. Now, Cronstadt is impregnable. Sir
R. Peel thinks " we are on the edge of a vol

thoughtful persons.

THE FAMILY EXPOSITOR ; or, a Paraphrase and
Version of the New Testament; with Critical
Notes, and a Practical Improvement to each
section. By Philip Doddridge, D. D. Im
perial, Bvo., pp. 1008. New York: Robert
Carter 4. Brothers, 630 Broadway. 1857.
We are greatly pleased that the spirited and
intelligent publishers of this standard Commen
tary have given such a capital edition to the
American public, as that which lies before us.
The work has occupied a deservedly high place
in the affections of the Christian public ; and its
excellences are so well known that no eulogium
is required from us, to commend it to our read
ers. The peculiar arrangement of the Commen
tary is such, that for family use it is invaluable.
The • author was aware that the structure of
Henry's celebrated work rendered it difficult for
heads of families to sub-divide it for daily read
ing, and accordingly he has arranged his notes in
such short sections as will enable a portion of Scrip..
ture, and its accompanying exposition, to be read
without prolonging the exercises of fandly wor
ship to an undue length. The critical exposition
Of the New Testament is in a very . advanced
state now, as compared with the days of Dod
dridge ; yet, for ordinary purposes, the Expositor
will be found exceedingly valuable by ministers
and licentiates. Those who have mastered the
criticism contained in the Notes, will find that
they will be obliged to read extensively in
modern works before they obtain much additional
valuable matter of a reliable character.: Our
Church, in the days of her early struggles, had
an enlightened and devoted friend in the person
of Doddridge. He saw the nature of the great
Western fields in which Presbyterianism was plant
ed, and by his influence extended to Nassau Hall,
and to such agencies as were calculated to pro
vide a pious and learned ministry for this coun
try, he sought the prosperity of our Zion. We
hope that this great work may have a circulation
commensurate with its long-established reputa
tion.
TUE Maur WAY ; or, the Gospel Applied to the
Intercourse of Individuals and Nations. By
Rev. Joseph A. Collier, pastor of the Reformed
Dutch Church, Geneva, N. Y. 18mo., pp. 303.
American Tract Society. 1866.
The late Rev. Thomas' A. Merrill, D. D., of
Middlebury, Vt., offered a premium of $5OO for
the best essay on the evils of war, and the best
mode of saving the world from the horrors which
ever accompany the appeal to arms. This pre
mium was awarded to the author of this work by
the judges, the Rev. J. W. Parker, D. D., the
Rev. A. D. Smith, D. D., and the Hon. William
J. Hubbard. Mr. Collier has produced a well
written and excellent essay; and we have no
irenbt but that, if the rulers of nations were,mi-

der the influence of Christianity, the principles
which be here expounds would control them, and
the sword would remain in the scabbard. Un
fortunately that consummation has not yet been
realized; and dreadful although the battle-field
may be, war will not yet cease from the earth.
The sin of humanity brings this evil in its train,
and we see no prospect of its removal until the
nations of the earth are fully subject to Christ.
The advocates of the Establishment in Scotland
would rejoice to find Mr. Collier, in his seventh
chapter, arguing so strenuously for the principle,
"that the same rule should apply in general,
to both individuals-and nations." In this prin
ciple they fiiid one of their main supports for a
national establishment of religion.
THE AMERICAN POULTERER'S COMPANION. A
Practical Treatise on the Breeding, Rearing,
and General Management of Various Species of
Domestic Poultry. Illustrated with portraits
of fowls, mostly taken from life; poultry
houses, coops, nests, feeding-hoppers, &0., &c.
A new, enlarged, and improved edition. By
C. N. Bement. With 120 illustrations on wood
and stone. Square, Bvo.. pp. 304. New York :
Harper Brothers. 1856.
Mr. Bement's work on Poultry has been before
the American public for some time, and its recep
tion has been such as to call for the new, en
larged, and exceedingly beautiful edition now
lying before us. We wish that all the intelligent
housewives in our country were supplied with a
copy of this attractive and useful book. This
volume on Poultry, and the Rev. Mr. Langstroth's
on the culture and management of the Bee, are
invaluable as household books in the rural homes
of our great and growing land. They are both
written by enthusiastic students in their respect
ive departments; and while the amount of knowl
edge which they contain is truly wonderful, they
are both eminently practical in their character.
We despair of conveying any adequate idea to
our readers of the beauty of the engravings, and
the amount of information contained in the work
now before us. To be properly valued, it must
be seen and studied.
A Cumn's HISTORY OF Roma. By John Bonner,
author of 64 A History of the United States."
In two vop. 18mo., pp. 307 and 305. New
York : Harper 4- Brothers. 1856.
The introductory part of this work gives the
juvenile reader some idea of the dress, manners,
religion and habits of the Romans. It then com
mences with the legendary period, and carries the
reader down to the year A. D. 476. Although
Mr. Bonner was wonderfully successful in his
Child's History of the United States, we think he
is vastly improved ; and the free and easy style
in which he here writes, is everything that could
be desired for the young. He 'displays freedom,
without descending to slang or vulgarity; and
while he states the great facts of history, and
portrays the characters whom he has to mention,
he dashes off his portraits with a freedom and
faithfulness, that his readers will be sure to un
derstand him. The illustrations of these vol
umes leave us nothing to desire in this depart
ment. So far as dress, houses, columns, soldiers,
buildings, coins, ships, religions sacrifices, and in
deed almost every department of Roman life can
be depicted by the artist, these volumes are all
that the most fastidious critic could desire.

The Election,
The papers still abound with election .news ;
but the returns are yet imperfect. No doubt re
mains as to the result. Mr. Buchanan is clearly
elected. He has all the Southern States but
Maryland. In the. North he has Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois. In the latter
State, the Republicans and Americans run sepa
rate Presidential tickets, and were defeated.

Dreadful Collision.
A vessel, name unknown, came in contact with
the French steamer Lyonnais, at sea, in a fog, on
the 2d inst. The Lyonnais had sailed from New
York for Havre, on the Ist, with passengers and
crew numbering one hundred and fifty. On the
morning after the accident, all on board aban
doned the wreck, in the boats and on a raft.
One boat was picked up nine days afterwards,
with sixteen persOns. The others had not been
heard of. The vessel which struck the Lyonnaiis
is supposed to have perished.
Progress.
Nebraska is on the advance. Newspapers, and
population, and politics, are the order. No. L
of the Bellevue Gazette is before us, neatly exe
cuted. We have not time to take even a hasty
glance over one-half the papers on our table, but
we love to learn that the streams of knowledge are
found in whatever land our people occupy. Will
our Nebraska friends estimate the high import
ance of having a religious paper, along with the
secular, in their houses, and send for the ,Banner
and Advocate. The price is easily within their
means.
Beginning in Time.
Tas REPITBLIOANS, in New York and Philadel
phia, and many other places, have nominated
Fremont and Dayton as candidates for President
and Vice President in 1860.
THE AMERICANS, in Massachusetts and else
where, have re-affirmed their party principles,
" acknowledging the supremacy of the • National
American organization, and declaring in favor of
the purification of the ballot box, and the preven
tion of any interference of Church hierarchies in
politics; the protection of Anierican men, Amer
ican rights, and American interests ; an open
Bible and free schools; a registry law in. every
State ; a modification of the naturalization laws."
We have not yet seen any nominations announced.
Movements commenced thus early may, possi
bly, have the effect of moderating the ardor of
the political campaign. It will hardly be pos
sible to keep up an intense excitement for four
years.
A VETEHAN.—Among those who cast their votes
for Fremont at Syracuse on the 4th, was Gideon
Bentley ;an aged survivor of the Revolution. He
is the father of thirteen living children—the an
cestor of six generations, numbering in all two
hundred and twenty-four souls who descended
from him in direct line. He participated in the
most important battles of our great struggle for lib
erty—voted for Washington—has cast a ballot at
every Presidential election since—and has since
the days of Jefferson until within few months,
been a soldier in the ranks of the Democracy.
IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.—Private letters,
received lately from the Hon. George M.
Dallas, United States Minister to the Court of St•
James, by his confidential friends, convey the im
portant intelligence that he has succeeded in ne
gotiating a treaty between the United States and
England, which covers and settles all the points
in dispute between the two countries.
LIBERIA PAOECET.—The ship John Stevens, just
built and launched .t Baltimore, for the Ameri

in transporting emigrants to Liberia, and will
make two trips thither annually, one in the Spring
and one in the Fall. She will sail on her first voy
age from Baltiniore on the Ist of December.

The steamer George Law, arrived at New York
on the 13th. She brought $1,626,607 in specie.
Perfect order, in a country so peopled, we could
not reasonably expect. There are still some rob
beries and murders, and hangings by Judge Lynch,
but, upon the whole, the news is more favorable.
San Francisco,
The excitement consequent upon the action of
the Vigilance Committee has abated with the dis
solution of that oganization. As a body, the
Committee exists no longer; though, doubtless,
the individual members hold themselves in readi
ness to act as a unit, should any exigency arise
requiring their mutual co-operation.
in this city, the Republicans and the people's
party have united upon a local ticket, thereby
rendering the election of the reform candidates
for municipal offices, well nigh certain. There
is also but little doubt but the legislative delega
tion from this district will consist of men pledged
to vote for an amnesty aot, find to carry out,
generally, the views of the party favorable to the
Committee.
The Presbytery of San Francisco and the Con

One Indian recently killed another of his race
in Los Angelos, from no higher motive than to

which the other had about his person.
Kansas News.
The Lawrence Herald of Freedom, which has re-.
appeared, after a suppression of six months, states
that emigrants are arriving daily in Kansas, and
in large numbers, by way of the Missouri river,
which is now openei to' travelers. The Herald
has heard of no late violence along the river, and
belives that none exists, and that persons will be
perfectly secure in traveling in small numbers to
_Kansas, if they keep silent on the exciting issues
of the day. The late troubles have diminished
the number of families, but have hurried forward
a large class. of young men and adventures. A
line of stages is plying regularly between Law
rence and Leavnworth.
Sr. Louis, November 13—Advices from Law
rence, Kansas, to the Bth instant, state that fifteen
State prisoners on trial for murder• had been ac
quitted, but were immediately rearrested on the
charge of robbing the Franklin Post Office.
The Free State men were taking measures to
contest the seat of Whitfield to Congress, on the
ground of the illegality of his election.
A large quantity of clothing and provisions
had arrived at LaWrence, and was being distribu
ted among the destitute.
THE KANSAS Dom.—The St. Louis Inteldi
gencer notices the combinations that are formed
in various parts of the country for the purchase of
the Kansas lands on the 17th. It says that im
mense sums of money have been forwarded from
Missouri, Kentucky, and other Southern States as
well as from the East.
017TRAGES.—A writer in the J - 021.771ai Of Com
merce expresses the belief that many of the out
rages in Kansas were commited by banditti not
connected with either the free State or proslavery
parties, but who used these organizations as a
cloak for the perpetration of their deeds. He
says that, during a recent tour in the West, he
was informed by a free State man from Kansas
that such was the fact.
Nore Railroad Consolidation.
A consolidation is projected of the North-Wes
tern, the Cleveland and Mahoning, and the Cleve
land and Toledo Railroads, making a direct line
and unbroken gauge from Blairsville, on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, via New Castle, Cleve
land and Toledo to Chicago. When this line of
roads is completed, there will be three great
routes between New York and Chicago, as
follows :
From New York via Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
and Fort Wayne to Chicago, distance nine hun

VIRGINIA METHODIST CONFERENCE.—In the
Methodist Conference at Lynchburg, Wednesday,
resolutions were adopted favoring an increased
effort for the diffusion of Scriptural knowledge
among slaves by oral instructions. Smithfield,

The affairs of Europe, as appears from late ar
rivals, are becoming somewhat complicated. An
alliance between France and Russia is plainly
talked of, and a counter affiance between England
and Austria. The experience of the last two
years, however, has taught the nations that a
Diplomatic warfare is the better policy, as being
far less expensive of blood and treasure, than an
appeal to arms. The great powers are not likely
soon, to unsheath the sword against each other.
Papers which profess.to speak by 'authority, utter
some things that intimate dissatisfaction, but, for
the most part, they are more pacific than others.
Great Britain.
The London Time Paris correspondent says:
" Whether well founded or not, the opinion is
very general, that not only does there exist a seri
ous difference between France and Fngland, on
more than one point, but also that the latter has
been completely reconciled to Austria, and that
the former is now on more than friendly terms
with Russia.
The Morning Post, generally supposed to be
the exponent of Lord Palmerston's views, denies
that there is any truth in the report that the
Anglo-French alliance is endangered. It says that,
in spite of the intrigues of a third power," the
two countries are entirely united upon European
policy.
A meeting of the Turkish Mission Aid Society

The Danubian Principalities.
The Petrie Freese states that the Austrian Go
vernment has answered to the demand of an im
mediate evacuation of the Prinoipalitiesby a posi
tive refusal.
The Paris Pays, having reiterated its assertion
that the Porte has required the Austrians to leave,
the London Globe (ministerial organ) says:
"This assertion of the Pays is a ludicrous mis
conception of the facts. The treaty of Paris sti
pulated that the Principalities should be evacua
ted—not at six months, but "as soon as possi
ble,"— and by this time, certainly, the Princi
palities ought to have been handed over to the
exclusive keeping of Turkey. But it is not Aus
tria who has retarded that delivery.
"Before the Austrian army could withdraw, it
would be necessary that the boundary between
Turkey and Russia should have been settled; but
it has not been settled, and until the boundary
line shall be made clear and certain, it is not to
be expected or desired that the guard placed there
on behalf or the Allies, should be withdrawn. This
is the vibw of the Turkish government. For we
need scarcely say, that the report of a demand on
behalf of that government for the retirement of
Austria, is the reverse of true."

A Good Comparison.
The Rev. William Roulett, a well-known Meth
odist clergyman, residing at Naples, draws the
following amusing but apt comparison between
Dr. M'Lane's celebrated Vermifuge and a ferret:
gg A ferret, when placed at the entrance of a
rat-hole, enters the aperture, travels , along the
passage, seizes upon the rat, exterminates his ex
istence, and draws the animal's defunct carcass
to the light. And in like manner have I found
Dr. M'Lane's American Vermifuge to operate °
upon worms, those dreadful and dangerous tor
mentors of children. This remedy, like the fer
ret, enters the aperture of the month, travels
down the gullet, hunts round the stomach, lays
hold of the worms, shakes the life out of the rep
tiles; sweeps clean their den, and carries their
caroesses clear out of the system. This, at least,
has been the effect of the Vermifuge upon my
children."
A neighbor of Mr. Roulett, Mr. John Briggs,
adopts the simile of the reverend certifier; thus
both giving their most unequivocal approval of this
great specific, after having witnessed its opera
tion upon their own children. Let others try it,
and be satisfied.
)16r Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
M'lsane's Celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa. AU other
Vermifuges in comparison are worthless. Dr.
M'Lane's genuine Vermifuge, also his Celebrated
Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable
drug stores. None genuine without the signa
ture of FLEMING BROS.

in French Creek Township, Mercer County, Pa., Miss MAR
THA. COOPER, in the 21st year of her age.
Her disease was consumption, which originated from a
cold. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian
Church where she lived. She bore, with remaritablepattence'
and resignation, her suffering, which, though not scents,
was very prostrating. She was never heard to fret in the
least, though she lingered about six months. She bad, as
is believed, made her peace with God. When the time of
her departure drew near, her mind was calm and firmly
fixed on the Saviour. She was willing to depart and to be
with Christ, which is far better. In this dispensation o
God, a dower is cut down in early life; but oh, what a con
solation to those bereaved parents and brothers a d sisters,
that their Martha fell asleep in Jesus I Weep not for her,
but prepare to meet her in glory. COMMUNICATED.

=CEA, infant daughter of Matthew and Elizabeth C. Byers,
of Fayette County, Jra., aged lysar, llmonths, and 18 days.
The parents, with their little daughter, were on a visit to
relatives near Wooster. The remains were brought home
and interred, on the Thursday following, in the burying
ground at Laurel Hill church, there to sleep till the morn
ing of the resurrection, when the tramp of God shall wake
the dead. Thus as it were in a moment, was snatched from
the embrace of fond pal mats, this lovely flower, to be trans
planted from this vale of tears to the Paradiie of God,
"Alas! how changed that lovely flower,
Which bloomed and cheered our heart;
Fair fleeting comfort of an hour,
How soon we're caUed to part]
"And shall our bleeding hearts arraign
That. God whose ways are love?
Or vainly cherish anxious pain

Dtsn—On Long Island, on the 27th Ult., Mrs. MART MLR.
ILTON, aged 78 years.
This aged disciple of Jesus had long exhibited the Spirit,
and trod in the footsteps of her Lord and Saviour. Through
life she had not much of this world; but industriouily and
faithfully performed her duties as a wife, trained her chil
dren carefully , and affectionately, and visited the poor and
sick with sympathy. At one period she taught a Sabbath
School norm which helped, eventually, to lay the founda
tion for the Long Island church. Sho read the Scriptures
daily and prayerfully, and was prepared to impart Christian
counsel on all suitable opportunities, with meekness, and
was much beloved in life, and honored at death.
The prospect of her removal from earth had no terrors to
her. Amongst many triumphant expressions used by her
long before her departure, she expressed a desire to her pas
tor, that when her friends found that she wan departing,
they would sing her away to heaven. When a few minutes
before "her spirit took its leave for the Church triumphant,
she requested her children to give her a parting kiss, and
said death had no terrors for her, Trnly, "Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord." Lei the living remember her
counsel, her prayers, and example.,
DIED—In Peoria County, 111., Mrs. MUM STEWART, of Eliz
abethtown, Va.
The deceased fell asleep on the 27th of September. 'She
lived a few years longer than is usually allotted to man.
Had she lived till the 29th of September, she would have
been seventy-three years old. She had : been a disciple of
Christ, in the Presbyterian Church for more than half a
century. She was truly a follower of the Redeemer. Every
one who knew her took knowledge that she " had been with
Jesus." Her kind and cheerful disposition, her constant,
Christian deportment, made her the favorite of all. Sbe ever
took a deep interest in the cause of Christ and his Church.
The Church has lost a warm and devoted member. While
her friends will weep their loss, they can rejoice that it is
her gain. She died of typhoid fever, while on a visit to her
Children in the West. But she found that the Saviour was
precious to her there. She died as she lived, joyously and
peacefully. Her name will remain embalmed in the memo
ry and hearts of many Christians and friends. "Blessed
are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea,
with the Spirit, that they may rest front their labors; and
their works do follow them." D.
Dran—At Doylestown, Bucks County, Pa., on Ssturdßy,
25th ult., Mrs. Mailitia P. Du Bow, in the 78th year of her
age.
Mrs. Du Bola was a daughter of the late venerable Robert
'Patterson, L. L. D., Viee.Provost of the University of Penn
sylvania, and relict of the Rev. U. Dn Bois, for many years,
pastor of the Presbyterian church in Doylestown. From
her youth she was an exemplary 'disciple of Jesus. In her
whole Christian career she beautifully illustrated a genuine
and cordial profession of the Gospel by her strong desires
and efforts to promote the temporal and spiritual 'welfare cf
those within the reach of her influence. She was a living
exemplification of the attractiveness of a meek and quiet
spirit, and was in truth an Israelite in whom was no guile.
She possessed rare judgment, and that strong common Renee,
which made her a wise counselor. It was her happiness to
see her numerous family grow up around her in respecta
bility and honor. One of her sons has been long in the rain_
iatry, and under the ministrations of a son-in-law, the succes
sor of her husband, it was her privilege and happiness to
sit during the latter part of her life. Her end was peace.
One who had the best opportunity of estimating her char.
acter,says: A long course of Christian profession and prac
tice in meekness, earnestness, and much patience, leaves a
precious remembrance of her to a large circle of relatives.
and friends."
DIED-01 consumption, on the 13tb of October, at there's'.
deuce of his sister-in lam, in Venango County, Pa4dr.
LUIS Jotter, in the 80th year of hie age.
The subject of this notice was a son of John Jolley, of
Venango, Pa., and lived with his father till about the age or
twenty-one years. He was a young man of good education,
and spent a part of his time in teaching school. Some two
or three years before his death, he and . his brother went to
the Wsst, where they purchased land, with the prospect of
life and. happiness; but this fatal disease blasted the bright
hopes of this world. After taking ill, he sold his property,
and came home to prepare for that better laud, where no
sickness or sorrow shall ever enter. His disease wee slow
In its progress, but certain in its result. His sufferings were
very severe at times, which he bore with patience and sub
mission, never complaining of his distress. Though he never
made a profession of religion, he earnestly sought to make
his Peace with Gaff, and found that peace by believl4 in
Christ. His chief delight was in the praises of his Saviour,
though his voice . was very weak. He would often ask his
friends to sing some favorite hymn; and even in his last
moments, he expressed himself as being comforted in this
dark valley, by the rod and staff of that Saviour who dr
stroyed (the sting of death. The victory wee given him
through the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; and, surround•
ed by his sorrowing friends, he closed his eyes on thieworld,
to open them in the presence of God and the Lamb--
And every power find sweet employ,
In that eternal world of joy. J. W. G.
