February; Mr. Stevenson,_ Second Sabbath of March; and leave to obtain their own supplies until the next meeting. Livermore—Leave to supply themselves until the next meeting. CendrevilleMr. Davis, one day, at discretion. Armagh—Mr Rill, one day, at discretion. The Presbytery of Blairsville held their usual Winter meeting .in 131airsville, on the 13th and 14th inst. And although -by the organization of the new Presbytery of Saltsburg, the number of members was dithinisbed fully one-half, still there was left a Presbytery large enough for the profit able transaction of business. The number in at tendance wav, thirteen ministers and twelve elders; while three ministers were nbsent. The Sessions of Presbytery were opened with& sermon, by the Rev. J. RI. Hastings, on a subject previously assigned him, which was made the subject of an interesting and profitable conference in the evening. This was one part of the ext.r. cises, new to me, but worthy of imitation by all' our Presbyteries. On the second day of the Sessions, two of the candidates under the care of the Presbytery, de- livered popular lectures, on the subjects assigned them. The Rev. James Davis was eleited Stated Clerk, in the place of bar. McElwain, who, by the di vision, had become a member of the Presbytery of Sal tsburg. The organization of a church at Harrison City, Westmoreland County, consisting of fourteen mem bers, was reported by a committee which had been appointed for the parpole. The congregation of Beulah reported, that they had added two hundred dollars per annum to their pastor's salary. And I doubt not, at the Spring meeting, ether congregations will make the same pleasant report, as it is evident that the present expenses of living are so much greater than for merly. that many of our pastors receive a very inadequate support. After the usual routine business of Presbytery, they closed their Sessions on Wednesday evening. Current Review and ,Criticism. A book is just published entitled, Cossruronow OF TUE Human SouL, by B. S. Storrs, Jr.,D. D., (at Davison's.) Dr. Storrs is a polished thinker and writer. He has studied the King's English, and is sometimes laviSh of its terms; yet he writes often with great vigor and point. His taste runs in the department which he has here embellished with 'a'series of lectures, combining the Boyle Lecture and Bridgewater Essay, in a popular form. There is an elevation and ambi tion in the style, which strikes one throughout as not quite the calm and easy flow which would best suit the great subjects. As regards the doctrine, we observe, that in the treatment of the con science, or moral sense, a proper account is not made of the declaration of Scripture, that even the mind and conscience is defiled.- He asserts, that without Revelation, men are able to attain the perfect and comprehensive law of virtue, as applied to daily life—able to arrive at the perfect moral law with the unaided powers which we p•. sseas—(p. 140.) Has this, then, ever been done? When and where has any most enlightened heathen done it? He refers to the Golden. Rule, as an. nounced, in substance, 'by Confucius, before Christ. Gibbon has alleged, that it is found in Isocrates, four hundred years before Christ. But it is not the same. It is only the negative part of it. It relates only to the avoidance of injuries to another, which you would dread for yourself. It says nothing about doing the good to others which you would wish to be done to yourself. Dr. Storrs': buok will be found to well repay the reading. Among the choicest of the many Juveniles, is TEE ADOPTED SON, (at. Davison's.) This is s col• leotion of narratives in illustration of the Lord's Prayer, and admirably suited to children's read ing. If we must have stories, let them be point. ed, not only with a moral, but with a Scripture text; serving, thus, as pictorial illustrations of God's Word, and aiming to unfold and impress the truth of "the Book of Books " Perents would find it not only safe, but valuable. .

But it is really no compromise of his position. The third volume, indeed, is entirely his own ; and, on many accounts, may be regarded as the most deeply interesting. It treats of the monastic life of Charles after his abdication. Just now we happen to know of several " Reading Circles" among the young ladies—" The Irving," "The Ingleside," &c., which hrve chosen Prescott:a Histories, as "Ferdinand and Isabella," "Charles 1V.," &0., for their weekly exercise. J. Itetas pepartintitt. Kansas The Topeka Legislature attempted a meeting at the appointed time, but failed to organize for want of a quorum. Gov. Robineon had.resigned, with the belief that the intereste of the Territory would be subserved much better under the ad ministration of Gov. Geary, than by any efforts which he could• make. Lieut. Gov. Roberts is said to hold the same opinion, and did not attend.. Some of the members shad been arrested, under charge of violating the laws, and others were not present. On the failure to organize, a portion cf the members held a meeting, in which the course of Gov. Robboion was disapproved of, and strong Measures advised. It would hence seem that the Free State men are divided in sentiment. There are also statements, that the ardent pro-slavery men &Aire to resort to aggression. But'there is decided evidence that moderate men of both par ties, will sustain Gov. Geary, and that hence the peace will he preserved, and the settlers have the choice of their government and the making of their laws, after sometime, without constraint• or terror. The Governor has succeeded, beyond the expectations of many, in dispersing hostile bands, and in protecting the citizens. If he shall still be able to keep the peace, and shall administer equal justice, his name will long be had in grate ful honor by the settlers and their descendants.. Br.

We have now had a mouth- of intensely cold weather, and but little prospect of a speedy change. The suffering in our city is, however, not very great. Fuel is plenty and cheap. A few hydrants are frozen up, but still, water is good and adundant. Provisions and clothing are plenty, and houses for comfortable shelter are possessed. And work, too, may be bad which is remunerative, by all the industrious, poor. Hard cases there are, but they are mostly, if not en tirely, the results of vicipus or idle habits. The virtuous poor find wherewith to live, and have cause for thankfulness. But the cold is very extensive, and all, in all places, are not so richly supplied. A letter from Salt Lake City, to the Baltimore Sun: says: " We have dreadfal accounts of the sufferings among the. Mormon emigrants, by the hand-cart train, now in the mountains.

One hundred and seven guns were spiked Notwithstanding the capture of the forts, the Governor refused the apology demanded. lie, however, sent to the Admiral twelve persons purporting to be captured, but they not proving to be the same, the Encounter opened her fire on the city walls, the artillery co-operating from the captured forts, while a steamer proceeded up the river and shelled the forts on the heights. On the 29th the walls were breached, and the city entered and subsequently abandoned. In the encounter the Barficante received eighty shots in the hull and rigging. The barque ports were captured on the 12th November. On the 15th the Chinese had re-manned the barrier ports and fired into the mail steamer Canton. The British loss is trifling: The English and American ladies were previously removed to Hong-E-ng, together with all the treisure. A detachment of marines from the American ship Portsmouth guarded the faotroies. The Americans were also engaged against the Chinese. The United States ship Ports-mouth had destroyed one of their forts in consequence of an insult given the American flag. ' Theacconnts of the American siffeir with the Chi neSeare not full. It isSaid that an Ameridanship was fired into by 'a Chinese ship at *mid, where upon the Portsmouth proceeded to destroy it, at the same time petifying the Chinese authorities that unless instant' reparation Was made, bcratile operations would ensue. The San Jacinto was at Whampod, anchored off the Frew!' Islands, with the Portsmouth and Levant. The British Admiral, on the 15th, inform* d the European community that he deemed it inexpedient to disclose his fu ture measures, but that he saw no immediate prospect of quiet. The mail steamer met a French frigate ap preaching the seat of war. The Itedan, news contains nothing concerning the Persian expedition which had reached Bom bay, but reinforcements were to be forwarded im mediately. The warlike preparations in Prussia and Swit zerland continued vigorously. but. hopes of peace preponderated. Meantime the American Minis ter has gone to Berlin to offer, it is reported. the mediation of the United States. Other improba ble reports of the good offices on the part of the United States prevailed. The President's mes sage to the Swiss federation is published. Its Bubstance is that all the foreign ministers at erne made proposals that if the Swiss authori ties would give up the trial of the prisoners. their respective governments would endeavor to induce the King of Prussia to recognize the absolute in dependence of Neufcharel The proposal fell to the ground. The Federal Assembly before ad journment passed a decree that the Federal Conn ell will continue the endeavor to erocure a pacific recognition of the independence of Nenfehetel, approving the military levies as ordered, grant ing unlimited credit and authority to the Federal Council to take ulterior Pleasures to def€nd the country to the last extent, and authorizing a loan of 50,000,000. It is stated that a French army of'six thousand. under Canrobert is to be assembled on the East ern frontiers to meet emergencies. Berlin reports, which are probahly exaggera tions, assert that the French will occupy Neuf chatel and Geneva, and Austria the Pas Devand ; also, should these governments unite in the de termination to wring from Switzerland the con cession that ber territory shall be no longer the harbor of political refugees. The march of the Prussians against Switzer land is postponed to the 15th' or later. • Plenipotentiaries, with power to' sign a treaty of peace, met at Paris on the 31st.. A pro gramme was read, stating that whereas a diffi culty bad arisen in exercising article twenty of the treaty, the parties had met to consider under what circumstances the difficulties could all be arranged. Complaints were exchanged; a con ciliatory spirit was exhibited ; a new line will be traced out as the Bessarabian frontier, RUSSlR,re flouncing her pretentious to Bolgrad and the Isle of Serpents; the Delta of' the' Danube being given up to Turkey.; in compensation, a district of land is to be ceded to Russia toward the North of Moldavia. The shares of the Atlantic Telegraph Company appeared on the London Stock Exchange on Wed nesday, at thirty to fifty premium. Dis.atisfaction is again reported in the Neapoli ton army. • A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Debais, confirms the account of a military force in New Banco, On the Caipain Sea, and says the whole Caucasian army is called with a brief notice to act with them. The British Ultimatum to Persia The ultin3atum propose d . by nerd Stratford de Redolite to the Persian Ambassador now at Con stantinople. is as follows : 1. The Shah will dismiss his Premier. 2. He will give satisfaction to the PerQian sub ject, the original cause of 'quarrel with Mr. Mur ray, the British Ambaesador. ' 3. He will conclude a new treaty of Commerce. 4. He will admit British Consuls wherever the British Government chooses to place them. 6. Hew;ll pay a war indemnity. - CC. He will restore Herat to the Afghans, and will evacuate - the Afghan territory. 7. He will undertake to refer to the arbitration of England all the disputes that may arise in the future on the subject of Herat, between Persia and the. Afghans. Owtden. Linear OF TIII PRBSS IN SwEnaw•—,The lib erty of the press has just achieved a triumph in. Sweden. The four Chambers of the Diet have unanimously rejected a bill of last session, which erases from the Constitution, and places in the rink of ordinary laws that which guarantees the liberty of the press. Tn the Chamber of Nobles, One of the Ministers, M. de Grippenstrult, made n sort of apology for presenting the bill, Baying, " Ministers are men, and. as such, are liable to commit error." The rejection took place, almost without discussion. in the Chamber of the Clergy, and of thO Bourgeoigie. In the Chamber of Peasants, fifty members spoke agairist the mess ore. The last speaker, in concluding. tail— " The liberty of the press is the tongue of the nation ; and the wish now is, to cut it out. . Will you allow that to be done ?" "No ! no ! A thou sand times no ! God preserve us from it!" was the cry, of all the others. The Pie•ident.then de clared the discussion to be cloned, and at once proclaimed the rejection of the bill. • Noticts. .

Easn—On the evening of October 20th, at his residence, In Bayne Township. 'lndiana County, Pa., Mr. Murex Sic- CLDSKer, aged nearly 75 years. A member. in full communion in the Presbyterian Church from early life, and for many years a Ruling Elder in the congregation of Gilgal, in the Presbytery of Blairsville,(now Saltsburg,) his uniform history was that of an upright, con scientious Christian, and a judicious church officer. A sub ject for a long time. during the latter part of his life, of a constant and severe neuralgic disease, his sufferings were very great; but "he endured, as seeing 'Him who is invisi ble," and as knowing "in whom he bad believed." Ills death was calm and peaceful. Having conducted, at the usual time, the accustomed evening worship of the family, in which he manifested remarkable firvor, he retired to bed, as he was wont to do, and closed his eyes to sleep; and in the solemn and undisturbed silence of that sweet sleep, his tpirit was released from its clay tabernacle, and witted up on angel wings, to its "house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." He bad "finished his osurse." Life's duties done, as sinks the clay, Light from her load the spirit flies, , While heaven and earth combine to say, ROW blest the righteous when he dies. The deceased was the father of Rev. James W. McCloskey of the State of Indiana T. C. Ptrm—At Ids residence, In Allegheny County. December 18th, Mr. THOMAS SIMPSON, in the 71st year of his age. For more than half a century. Mr. Simpson sustained the character of a Christian, acknowledged by all as exhibiting the characteristics of a true follower of Jesus. Slowly, but Surely, his earthly tabernacle was taken down; but bishops did not fail him, that he had abuilding of God, "a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavene." He distrusted his own righteousness, but plead the atonement of Christi's amply sufficient for every sinner. • A short time before his deirb, be took affectionate leave of his beloved companion and dear children, committing each, separately, to the keep ing of Israel's God. To his sou. (who is preparing for the Gospel ministry,) be said, "01 my son, if God spares your life to enter the ministry, preach Christ crucified as the sin ner's only hope; and preach nothing else;' and in the tri umphs of faith, and full hope of a blessed immortality, re signed his sp i rit into the hands of God who gave it. While on earth, he ardently loved the worship of God'sbonse; and his seat in the sanctuary was seldom vacant; and we hope and believe his ransomed spirit now rests with God, in the heaven of his love. " Write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Dime— kt Newcastle, Dec. 27th, in the Mb year of her age MAZZIS M., youngest daughter of Wm. and Mary Watson. Though but a child, she appears to have been fully com ninon of the fact, that her condition was critical, and that her dependence must be upon the Father of spirits. Daring her somewhat protracted sickness, she would sometimes tier and request her father to pray for her. Many other striking indications of religious thoughtfulness, during the last month of her life, will long continue to profuse a mournful interest in the rnicds of her parents, as they re_ cur to the scenes of her early death. And though the intr. , render has required a struggle, they nevertheless bow to the will of Christ, who has said.
