AND EXTENSION OF CRIME are
whole story is understood to be an inyen-
enormous. It is said that an extra Court
will be held this Winter, at the Old Bailey,
to clear out the metropolitan prisons.
Housebreaking, and violence to the person,
are always common in London, at this sea
son of the year. The use of the knife is,
however, almost unknown in this country;
and when a case of that kind is brought
before a magistrate or a judge, it is always
dealt with in the most severe manner. Our
burglars use "life preservers," or small
crowbars, with which they prostrate, and
often render insensible, their victims In
some cases, garrotting has been successfully
employed. In a mass of people amounting
to two millions and a half, where in certain
localities crime has found its foul nest for
centuries, what can be expected, but fright
ful wickedness !
" Prevention," after all, "is better than
cure," and great things are being done in
this way. There is this great difference
between the present century and the last—
that in the one case, vice was rampant, with
out any attempt to remedy it; whereas, now,
(within the last twenty years,) the agged
School and Reformatory movement, has laid
deep and broad the foundation of practical
and permanent reform.
Among the first RAGGED SCHOOLS insti
tuted in London, is that of Field Lane, near
the Old Cattle Market of Smithfield, in the
City. It is entirely supported by voluntary
contributions; and its Fourteenth Annual
Report now lies before me. Its comprehen
siveness, and yet its unity, are most remark
able. There are "Boys, Girls, and Infants'
Day Schools ;" three hundred and seven
teen admitted during the year, and two
thousand three hundred and ninety since
184.8; average attendance, from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred. Then there is
" The Adult and Youths' Class," on Mon
day and Wednesday evenings. "Here the
beggar, the criminal, and the prodigal find
a common shelter, and a common level."
Next there is " The Mother's Class,"
conducted by Christian ladies. The children&
mothers are often the cause of their rag
gedness and wretchedness. "To make good
mothers is, therefore, estimated as of the
last importance." Great good has been
thus accomplished. Alas, in many cases it
is found that " the destruction of the poor
is their poverty."
Then there are " Industrial Classes for
Shoemaking and Tailoring," and also a
Night Refuge for the Utterly Destitute.
This last—a shelter provided for the house
less wanderers on London streets—is very
impressive, when visited at the time the in
mates are preparing to go to rest. Twenty
thousand have slept here in one year;
portion of bread is given to each, prayer is
offered, corrupt language forbidden, encour
agement given to cultivate habits of indus
try, and last year two hundred and twelve
youths and men were taken from the
streets and prisons, and provided for. Be
sides, there is reason to believe that souls
have been converted and saved. Here are
some illustrations of the waste produced by
robbery, as well as of thieves reformed :
"W, H., 12 years of age, belongs to Holloway;
father and mother dead seven years; lived after
that with a friend of his mother's four years, till
turned out. Had been in the streets twelve
months getting his living the best way he could.
Has been in prison three times for stealing small
articles. The day he came out the last time, he
stole some plum pudding, which be says•' I ate;':
pound of bacon, which I sold for Bd.; a pair of
boots, which I sold for 45.; and a black coat, which
I sold for ss. This lad is still in the Refuge.
,‘ Another lad, G. W., aged 14, has been de
serted by father and mother eight mouths; Las
since lived about the streets. Has been to prison
once for stealing books. Has stolen at least 100
handkerchiefs, and sold them for 9d. to 2s. 6d. each;
has stolen at least forty loaves of bread, a great
deal of meat, etc."
This lad is now a quiet, steady youth, and has
quite given up thieving. For these, and such as
these, the warm hand of sympathy is extended to
succor and to save.
‘• E. T. aged 17, lost his parents two years
since, and made the streets his home ever since.
Has been to prison three times, twice for stealing
a loaf, and once for stealing a piece of bacon. He
is now in work, and expresses the deepest grati
tude for the benefits he received front your Re
fuge.
Then, as to the training of wicked
parents, look at the following :
"J. N., aged 16. Father is dead, mother a
very bad woman. The lad says, 'When I was a
child I was taught to steal ; and if I returned
home at night without something for my mother,
I was sure to get agood beating, and turned out for
the night_ For many years I have slept under
the arches, or upon the warm stones of Leman
Street. While under the arches one night with
Black John, we made a fire. A policeman came
by and ordered us out; but as the hole was too
small for him to get at us, we did not move. Be
could not see Black John, because he was so
dark; so he went to the hole and caught the
policeman by the feet and threw him on his back.
He threw some stones at us, and then went away,
I have been to prison nine times, once for throw
ing stones.' This youth, reports the Refuge mas
ter, came to me on one occasion crying, and said,
I wish you would whack me, instead of talking
to me. I asked him why he preferred beating.
'I am used to a good whacking' replied the boy ;
I no sooner get it than I forget all about it; but
I cannot forget what you say, and I feel so un
happy that I cry in the streets when you have
been speaking to me.' This lad is in work and
doing well."
How cheap an outfit London "Hag
Fair " can furnish, is amusingly indicated in
the following. A. lac was clothed for ser
vice for half a crown, thus :
A good pair of shoes, 6d.; jacket, bd.; plaid
vest, 3d. ; trowsers, sd. ; cap, dd.; shirt, 4d.
shoe-ties, id.; neckcloth, ld.; total 2s. 21. d., leav
ing 4d. to commence his new career. Who would
not spare a few half-crowns for such a purpose!
So much for cheap clothing and Rag Fair.
Space forbids me to dwell on the Bible
Schools, and the Girls' Industrial Class,
as well as the Ragged Church services in
the school-room on the Lord's day, which
last would present to any American visitor
a congregation such as I am persuaded he
never saw before met in the community of
want and woe, in rags and wretchedness,
to hear of Him, the glory of whose dispen
sation it is• "to the poor the Gospel is
preached."
Another ease Of DISPUTED SETTLEMENT
has been recently before one of the Estab
lished Presbyteries of Scotland, and is ap
pealed to the General Assembly. At the
Presbytery, acrimonious discussions and mu
tual accusations were indulged in. It was
hinted that in one manse, dancing was in
dulged; an elder who objected to the
Presentee, was cut short by being asked by
the law-agent of the latter, when he him
self engaged in family worship. Another
witness, a schoolmaster, was asked where
he got his whisky? One. clergyman highly
praised the Presentee, and was of opinion
that the whole case against him had been
concocted in some manse or school-house.
This, with the Kilmalcom case formerly al
luded to, "will not," says the Witness,
" elevate Lord Aberdeen's Act in the eyes
of the
people of Scotland."
The Witness has dealt very severely with
a new REFERENCE BIBLE, edited by Dr.
Robert Lee, a clergyman of the Establish
ment in Edinburgh, whose tendencies are
toward Germanism. He has thrust out the
references usually found in our Bible, and
substituted 4)thers, which are designed to
give another interpretation of many im
portant texts from that ordinarily received.
Some of these bear on the person of the
Saviciur. A notable butane° is that in Job,
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
"I know that my Redeemer liveth," fie., in
which the only reference given is Job xlii :
10-17, by which he would have it under
stood that only Job's temporal restoration
was meant, and not the doctrine of his faith
in one who would redeem him from the
grave. An apologist for Dr. Lee lets out
the secret that the latter does not hold that
the resurrection of the dead is taught in the
Old Testament I There seem good rea
sons to suspect that, as to the evidence
for Christ's Deity and work, from the Old
Testament, it is regarded as nul where there
are not express quotations in the New ! A
semi-skeptical Scottish artist not long since
gave me some indications of the very liberal
tendencies of this gentleman, which to a
certain class of minds. are very attractive.
Thus dangers thicken on every hand. The
- very air seems• poisoned with heresy, and
numbers of professed Christians suspect no
danger, and are being drawn into the snare.
The Annual Meeting of the CONGREGA
TIONAL UNION has been postponed, from
the fear of violent discussions and unseemly
exposures. Much of the controversy as to
the new and old theology has become per
sonal. There can be no doubt that in their
zeal, the editors of the Morning Advertiser
and of the British Banner were too violent
and unguarded, in their assaults on Mr.
Lynch and his friends. But of the de
parture of Lynch and many others from the
old landmarks, I fear there is no doubt.
This " negative Theology" will, I fear, pro
duce a race of preachers whose " word"
will " eat as doth a canker." It was in this
gradual, subtle way, the Presbyterian
churches of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries were destroyed. In the meeting
house at Chester, where Matthew Henry
preached, you may see on a table in front of
the pulpit, a copy of his Commentary; but
in that pulpit has stood one atter another
false prophet, - who has ignored or denied the
grand verities which Henry preached and
taught. Thus " Icliabod" is written on
many a wall throughout the land. It is our
mission as a Church, to wipe off the dis
grace thus brought on the Presbyterian
name, and, by the blessing of God, we have
in many places accomplished it. From
our pulpits not one uncertain sound, I be
lieve, goes forth. The masculine theology
of Paul, of the Reformers, of Westminster,
is imbedded in our preachers' minds and
hearts. That it will be so still, we have,
under God, a fresh guaraitee in'the advent,
to our College, of Dr. BP Crie, of Edin
burgh, who is to deliver his inaugural lec
ture this evening in the Lower Room, Exe
ter Hall.
The WAR WITH RUSSIA, driving her
back from Turkey as her prey, and forcing
on her the adoption of the principles of re
ligious liberty, was expected to be followed
by extraordinary openings for the spread of
the Gospel there. But, besides the conflict
at Constantinople of opposing embassies,
I regret to say that a letter from Rev. H.
Jones, one of the Secretaries to our Turkish
Missions Aid Society, gives very discour
aging prospects. The Firmans of the Sultan,
in most cases will, it is feared, be a dead let
ter, proselytism is rendered very difficult,
and the Turks are more intolerant and fanat
ical than ever. Mr. Jones says it was a sad
mistake to withdraw the troops from Tur
key, and to insert a clause in the Treaty of
Paris not to interfere in the internal ad
ministration of Turkish affairs. f' Turkey
is utterly incapable of governing herself, and
the reins must be placed in other hands."
Busier said than done. What " hands"
are to hold the reins?
The REV. DR. HAMLIN had a public Fare
well Meeting given in his honor on Friday
evening last, previous to his return to the
East, by the friends of the American
Missions in Turkey. I was unable to
attend, our public service preparatory
to the Lord's Supper being held that
evening, but am to meet him this day at the
Committee Rooms. Colonel Rawlinson bore
strong testimony in favor of the American
Missions, and General Williams, of Kars,
wrote a very affectionate letter (read at the
meeting) to Dr. Hamlin, expressing similar
sentiments. The Times, of this day, has a
special article on the subject, especially on
the position taken by Colonel Rawlinson,
that the Turks can only be reached through
the conversion of the Armenians to Prot
estant and Bible Christianity.
, Great banquets have been given to the
CRIMEAN SOLDIERS at Dublin and Edin
burgh. Dr. Guthrie spoke with his usual
eloquence at the latter, referring especially
to the surgeons and chaplains of the army.
The appointment of good chaplains, he said,
was a recognition of the principle, that the
better the man, the better the soldier. This
sentiment was received with great cheering.
TEE DEPARTURE OF THE AMBASSADORS
from Naples would have been made the oc•
casion of a liberal demonstration there, but

of .a ship-of-war in the Bay of Naples.

LONG'S CLASSICAL ATLAS, with a Sketch of An•
cient Geography, containing fifty-two Maps,
with an Index of Places. Philadelphia:
Blanchard t Lea.
This is one of the implements which should be
in the hands of every classical student, whether
at the Academy or at College. A Classical Atlas
he should regard as a sine qua-non, and we
know not where he could find one more convenient
and eiC'ellent in all its adaptations, than this of
Long. The Maps were constructed by William
Hughes, and the best authorities scull to have
been consulted. The engraving is very good.
The Introductory Geographical Sketch contains
much information relative to the important coun
tries noted in the Classics; and the Index, con
taining the names of towns, cities, rivers, &c.,
with their latitude and longitude, and the number
of the Map on which they may be found, gives to
the learner immense facilities for acquiring the
knowledge of which he is in search.
DEATN-BED TRIUMPHS OF EMINENT CHRISTIANS;

hour. Compiled by the Rev. Jabez Burns, of
London, and Revised by the Editor of the
Board. Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of
Publication, 205 Chestnut Street. 12m0.,
pp. 191.
This is a most excellent volume, and one every
way suitable for extensive circulation under the
patronage of our Board. We would suggest an
index to be given in the next edition of the work.
THE Two LIGHTS. By the Author of " Struggles
for Life." 12m0., pp. 319. Philadelphia; J.
B. Lippincott 4- co. 1859.
This is a reprint of a well-written volume of a
discursive character, in which Rationalism and
true Evangelical religion are contrasted. There
is as much of a tale and of conversation introduced
as serves to keep up attention. The pictures of
life are very faithful to the reality of society in.
London and the provinces, and we doubt not but
that this book will be acceptable and profitable
to many readers.
POEMS OF THE LATE FRANCIS S. KEY, ESQ.,
author of " The Star Spangled Banner;" :with
an Introductory Letter by Chief Justice
Taney. 18mo., pp. —. New York: It. Carter
t 1 Brothers, 530 Broadway, 1857.
Our readers will have some idea of the value
which highly educated and intelligent minds at
tach to these poetical effusion; when wo mention
that the Chief Justice of the United States writes
an exceedingly appreciative introduction to the
volume, and that the Rev. Dr. Johns, of Balti
more, has supplied a critical preface. The au
thor, in addition to his poetic talent, must have
possessed powers of an exceedingly attractive
character, else he could not have endeared him
self, as he appears to have done, to persons so
different in sentiment and aim. There is genuine
poetry in this little book, such as we seldom meet
with.
RILLS FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE ' ' or, Ser
mons to Children. By Bev. Richard Newton,
D. D., Rector of St. Paul's Church, Philadel
phia. 12m0., pp. 220. Philadelphia: T. B.
Lippincott 4 Co. MN.
On the first Sabbath of every month, Dr. New
ton preaches a sermon to the young members of
his flock. - On such occasions the children oc
cupy the body of the church, and it is worthy of
note that there is a larger attendance of adults
to hear these sermons than at any afternoon ser
vice in the church. This volume contains twelve
sermons, and while they are admirably fitted for
the comprehension of children, they are by no
means childish. Dr. Newton 'seems to possess,
in a very remarkable degree, the qualifications
needed to preach to the young in a profitable
manner. lle has abundance of illustration, con
structs short sentences,, and is wonderfully direct
in his statements. This volume is admirably
suited for heads of families to use in their Sab
bath instructions, and the known evangelical char
acter of Dr. Newton will serve as an introduction
to the book in all households where the -Gospel'
is appreciated.
WESTWARD EMPIRE; or, The Great Drama of
Human Progress. By B. L. iliagoon, author of
" Proverbs for the People," "Republican Chris-
tianity, " Orators of the American Revolu
tion," &e. 12m0., pp. 445. New York Bar
per 4- Brothers, 329 to 335, Pearl Street. 1856.
We are greatly pleased with the structure and
execution, of this thoughtful and well-written
work. It is divided into four parts, denominated
respectively the ages of " Pericles," " Augustus,"
`‘ Leo X.," and " Washington." The age of Peri
cles is considered to have ended four centuries be
fore, and that of Augustus five centuries after,
the birth of Christ. The age of Leo X. beganin
the fifth century, with the fall of the Western
Empire, and ended in the sixteenth, soon after
the final downfall of the East. The seventeenth
century was the great era of Colonial empire, and
then began the age of Waishington. Some critics
may object to the dogmatism of this division,
but we think that every candid reader of the book
will agree with us that these periods answer re
markably in enabling the author to develope his
well-sustained argument. In each of the periods
the author takes up and discusses the subjects of
Art, Science, Philosophy and Religion, so that
our readers may perceive the book is one of no
superficial or common-place character.

rejected at the election on Tuesday. " The people

compensation for the services rendered by their

as that ? A common laborer gets $1.50 to $2 per
day.

Dr. McLane's Celebrated Vermifuge, and
Liver Pills.
fter A singular combination, but very effec
tual, as the following will show:
'NEw YORK, November 20, 1852
Knowing, from experience, the valuable quali
tie,s of Dr; McLanes, Vermifuge, and Liver
Pills, I have, for some time back, considered it
my duty, and made it my business, to make those
articles known wherever I went, among my friends.
A short time ago I beCame aquainted with the
case of a young girl who seemed to be troubled
with worms and liver complaint at the same time,
and had been suffering for some two months.
Through my persuasion she purchased one bottle
of Dr. McLane's Vermifuge, and one box of
liver pills, which she took, according to di-
rections. The result was, she passed a large quan
tity of worms, and thinks that one box more of
the pills will restore her to perfect health. Her
name and residence can be learned by calling on
E. L. Theall, Druggist, corner of Rutger and
Monroe Streets.
Mir Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by
Fleming Bros:, of Pittsburgh, Pa. All 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.

A mysterious dispensation of Providence, calling away

a position of great usefulness in society, and in the Church.
Curing weeks of sickness, drawing day by day knowingly
nearer and nearer to the grave, she uniformly manifested
entire resignation, and firm faith, maintaining &submissive+
trustful, cheerful spirit, even to the end, when she literally
fell asleep, not to awaken again on earth, but to awaken in
heaven. M.
DrEn—At Hollidaysburg. on Tuesday night, i6th inst.,
Mrs. Itaanicr ft. lavas, Wife of Major John C. tames, in the
29th year of her age.
The illness that brought this lovely Christian woman to
the grave, was of nearly four years continuance; and for
the last eighteen months, her death at any moment would
have occasioned, no surprise. Yet she lived on, and seemed
to be spared from week to week, for the very purpose of tes
tifying, from a sick bed, to all who approached her, concern
ing the unsearchable riches of Christ. Her long protracted
sickness was a continuous sermon, teaching us all how to
live, how to suffer, how to ," glory in tribulations also,"
how to triumph over sorrow, how to hold Communion with
God, and at last, how to die 1 None whose privilege it was
to witness this lovely illustration of Christ's grace, would
think any written description of it adequate; those who
did not, might, in this age in which such instances are so
rare, esteem oven a truthful description extravagant. She
was a member and an ornament of the Presbyterian church
of Hollidaysburg, by which, as by the' whole community,
she was loved in life, and mourned in death.
"Oh, grave, where is thy victory!
Oh, death, whereto thy sting !" D. X.
Dni,—ln Saltsburg, Oet. 28d, Miss LTiZIE 8., daughter of
James B. and Bliss S. Robinson, in the 18th year of her
ago.
This sweet and accomplished young lady, possessing a
highly cultivated mind, and a heart ardently devotedto her
Saviour, has passed from earth in the bloom of youth, to
"enter into rest." Her Shepherd was graciously present
with her in her last sufferings, and to his care she calmly
resigned herself. Had her life been prolonged, hers was a
spirit that would have made her extensively useful in the
world. But she is gone, as we fondly hope, to be with
Jesus, in the heavenly mansions. She leaves a sad vacuum
in our social eircle, as well as in her parents' home. To her
school mates and youthful friends and associates, her early
death brings a solemn and impressive ',assuage.
"Lord, teach me to know my end, and the measure of my
days what it is; that I may know how frail I am." W.
