Legilature of Pennsylvania passed a izing the sale of the Main Line of the ovements ; embracing the railroad from Iphia to Columbia, the canal to liollidays- Portage Railroad to Johnstown, and the Pittsburgh, at the minimum price of )0, which is probably a little more than I the cost. A clause in the Act author- Pennsylvania - Railroad Conipany to be e purchaser; and proposed, also, that in 3 Company would give an additional $l,- it should be exonerated from tonnage er. hearing of an Injunction, the Supreme Court of the State decided that the sale might take place, constitutionally, to the Company, but that our Legislature could not hind its successors in regard to taxes ; that taxation being a right of sovereignty, was resident in the people, and could not be alienated. The sale was appointed for the 26th of June, and took place on that evening, at the Merchant's Exchange, Philadelphia ; the Governor being present. J. Edgar Thompson, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, on behalf of the Company, bid the $7.600,000. No other bid was made, and the property was struck off. The Company have now two railroads, with each a tunnel, across the Allegheny Mountains. They connect by the Branch road, six miles long, ! from Altoona to Hollidaysburg. Toward the Western end, they cross each other several times, and are together at Johnstown. The recent pur chase is a few miles the longest road, and, by a few feet, the highest summit ; but the grades are much the lightest, and it may be very profitably used for the freight business of the Company, going West. It would 'thus be a second track. But we have not seen any statement intimating how the Company mean to use it. Some of the advisers of the people have pre dicted great, evils to them, fromthis monopoly of the means of transit, for persons, goods, and pro• duce, in the hands of a powerful Company, having their own pecuniary interests. Others of our benevolent counselors have assured us that the people will derive great benefits from the sale, by a diminution of taxes heretofore levied to pay interest, and by the removal of an occasion of great corruption in our political affairs. The thing, however, is now done. The Improvement belongs to the Company, under the solemnity of a contract; and we shall hope that they will so use their power, that the predictions of ill omen will never have their counterpart in realities. Large Steamers. There is now being constructed in England, a mammouth steamer called the Great Eastern, and our ambitious seaports are contending for the honor of her first visit to thin country, and for the profits of her trade. Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston are out of the question, as they can afford but some 25 feet of water, or less, at the entrance of their harbors and at their wharves, while she demands over 30 feet. Portland puts in her claim as the deepest harbor, and Norfolk, hers, as having an all-sufficient depth. New York, however, thinks that she can find enough, not, it is true, by the regular entrance, but by way of the sound, and as far as "near the foot of One Hun dred and Sixth street," whence she has a rail road to the Park. Comparing this steamer with others hitherto regarded as baring enormous size, the measure ments are as follows : Length. Breadth. Depth. Vanderbilt - - 335 feet. 49 feet. 33 feet. Niagara - - 345 feet. 65 feet. 31 feet. Adriatic • - • 354 feet. 50 feet. 83 feet. Persia - • 390 feet. 45 feet. 32 feet. Great Eastern - • 084 feet. 86 feet. 70 feet. It is said that this monster ship will be able to stow 10,000 tons of coal and 5,000 tons of freights, and will at the same time accommodate 20,000 persons, including 4,000 first'class passengers. " Where," exclaims the Times, " but in New York, can such a ship find business enough to pay her expenses'" The Wiy they get Rich out West The Newburyport Herald relates the experience of a friend, just returned from the West. He says: Here is the whole story. We complain of hard times, and go West to better our condition. If we would live in a log or mud house with ode room and no floor, sleep on straw, and go bare footed, wear the cheapest and coarsest clothes, and de prive ourselves of all the comforts of life, any body might squat upon two sores of common pasture, and with the same labor, be as rich in seven years as upon any half section of land in Kansas; and if there were hundreds thus squat ting, they could get up a land fever, speculate in lots, and have the prices go up as they do in the West. What people save in the new States they crush out of themselves, and that they can do any where. All the advantage they have is the privilege of living as mean, and being as mean, and having their children as mean, as human nature will bear, with nobody to fiad fault with it; while here, living in the same manner, they would sepa • rate from the masses, as much as the gipsies do. If any of our people wilsh to learn practically about this matter, let them take a view of the basket makers who drive into market from New Hampshire, and then go home and live with them a month in the baok parts of Barrington, and they will be saved the trouble of going to Kansas. There is a good deal of caricature in the above, and a considerable sprinkle of truth also. If men, women, and children, would work as hard in the older States as they do in the newer ones, and oacapy as poor houses, and eat as fru gally, awl dress as plainly, and spend as little in going about, in dainties and in sight-seeing, they would find themselves generally to accumulate about as rapidly in Pennsylvaniaand Ohio as they do in lowa or Mianesota. The latter have the advantage or a greater rise in the value .of land, but the former have it in everything contributing to the comfort of body and mind—in the cheap ness of food, clothing, books, education, &c., &c. Happily, all have their choice. This •is a broad land, and there are great facilities for loco-motion. The New Arctic Expedition Captain M'Clintock, who has been several time in the Arctic seas, has, at the desire of Lady Franklin, undertaken a new expedition, to ascer tain what•may yet be discovered relative to the fate of Sir John, and his companions. He ex pected to sail about the last of June. Of the expedition, he says : " The means of accomplishing Lady Franklin's object, the completion of the search, and now placed at my disposal, are ample. The vessel is a three-masted screw schooner yacht, with four top sail and top-gallantsail; the topsail roofs from the deck; she is decidedly a clipper—diagonally built, 132 feet long over all, 320 tone builder's measurement, with a slight draft of water ; trunk engines, of thirty horse power; crew numbering thirty individuals, including an Esquimaux inter preter. Almost all will be old shipmates of my own in former Arctic voyages. They shall be fed and clothed as in the government expeditions, and receive double pay I therefore anticipate no ditliciflty in keeping up precisely the same disci. pline as that which we found to answer so well in the three Arctic expeditions in which I have served." Philadelphia and Chic Lgo It will be seen by an advertisement in another column. that the traveling time between these two points, by way of. Pittsburg, Fait Wayne, and Chicago Road, constituting a practical con tinuation of our great Central line, is brought within 34 hours. The baggage of passengers is checked through, and there is but a single change of ears, by which means a great convenience is added to the comfort of rapid and safe transit. When the 55 miles of the Southern Michigan Road, now used in this connection, are dispensed with by the completion of the direct line through out, the travel and transportation will be almost entirely turned aside from the improvements stretching to New York, which have already suf fered materially from the superior facilities of the present route.—North.

The Episcopal fund of the dioeese of lowa, $7,000, was invested in land a couple of years or so ago. The lands thus purchased are estimated to be worth $BB,OOO. THE PRESBYTERIAN BINItEII AND ADVOCATE. Utah A correspondent of the New York Daily Times, writing from Washington, D. C. says that by the act passed in the year 1850, to establish the terri tory of Utath, the right is reserved to Congress to abolish the territorial organization at its pleasure. It provides that the territory be divided and at tached to any other State or territory. To secure its passage the Mormon representatives gave as surance that polygamy was not one of the institu tions to be introduced into the territory. The same authority adds that a vast majority of the Mormons in Utah are not citizens of the United States. It would seem that politicians are seriously di recting their attention to the suppression of mis rule and heathenism in Utah. Judge Douglass is reported as having said to the grand jury and his constituents at Springfield, 111., that: " If the state of that Territory be as it isrepre seoted, then Utah stands out an alien enemy and outlawed seeking admission for the sole purpose of subverting the authority of the United States. If such is the case he would favor the repeal of the organic law of the Territory, enact it a dis trict under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, and then bring in the crimin al code qfi 1790, try them, and punish the guilty, complete y blotting from the earth the existence of the Territory." GENERAL Scorn has been called to Washington by the President to perfect arrangements for the dispatch pf troops to Utah. It is the deign of the administration to send out the •new Territorial officers with the military force, thus ensuring their safety from attack while on the journey. The final orders for the guidance of" the commander of the troops are in preparation. No attempt will be made to interfere with the religims or social institutions of the Mormons, but the United States laws will be rigidly enforced. Already the troops detached for Utah are in Motion. WHAT BOUT OF PEOPLE GO TO lITAIL—The Boa. ton Courier of Monday contains some interesting facts touching the heavy cargo of Mormons that arrived at that port in a Liverpool packet: There were on board 808 passengers, divided in nationality, as follows, viz :—English, 720; Scotch, fourteen; Welsh, twenty two; German, thirteen; Irish, five ; French, fours The English were from all parts of England, more, however, coming from Nottinghamshire than from any other part. Among the passengers were forty elders, who had been preaching the doctrines of the sect throughout the whole wnrld. One of these El ders, named Mercer, of Philadelphia, was on his return from a mission to the East Indies. The rest of the passengers were collected by the elders on representation of duty and the promised land of Utah, and were of all ages and both sexes. Four of the women were over seventy years of age, and there were twenty-four infants under ohe year old. Awful Steamboat Accident. QUEBEC, JUNE 27.—The steamer Montreal was burnt yesterday near here. Two hundred pas sengers were drowned or burnt to death, mostly Scotch emigrants. LATER,—The steamer Montreal, the account of the loss of which has already been telegraphed from Quebec,. contained five hundred passengers, and only one hundred and seventy five are known to have been drowned. It is believed, however, that many swam ashore-and were saved in other ways. The accident happened near Cape Rouge, between Montreal and Quebec. The Montreal took fire at six in the evening. The steamer Napoleon saved two hundred passen gers. The principal portion of the passengers have just landed at Quebec, on their way to the West. FARTHER PARTICI:ILA/M.—The steamer Montre al left at four o'clock yesterday afternoon for Montreal, with four or five hundred passengers, mostly Scotch immigrants recently from Europe. Nothing unusual occurred until the Montreal reached Cape Rouge, twelve or fifteen miles above Quebec, when the woodwork near the furnaces was discovered to be on fire. Quickly after the flames broke forth, causing the utmost consterna tion among the passengers. Every effort was made to arrest the flames, but to no purpose. Captain Rudolph, finding it impossible to save the steamer, ordered her to be run towards the shore. The officers andnrew exerted themselves at the same time to get out the life-boats. The flames spread with host astonishing rapidity, and the wildest confusion and despair prevailed through out the "ship. Numbers of passengers threw themselves overboard and were drowned. Fortunately,• the steamer Napoleon, also for Montreal, was but a few miles advanced. Taking turn, and putting back with all possible expedi tion to her assistance, the Napoleon succeeded in rescuing from the burning wreck 127 passengers. Capt. Rudolph and the purser of the Montreal were among those who threw themselves into the river ; both were excellent swimmers, and succeeded in reaching the steamer Alliance and were saved. California. New Yonx, June 27.—The steamship Mina, with California mails of the sth, arrived at her wharf at 10 o'clock P. M. She brings $1,853,000 on freight. The Illinois brings an account of a great fire at Port•au Prinoe, where one hundred houses were destroyed. Judge Bowles * was on board the Illinois. Amongst her passengers are the Hon. J. B. Bowlin, 11. S. Minister from New Granada, Judge Lott of California, and Lieut. Mowry, of the tr. S. army. Lieut Mowry was late in command of Fort Yuma and bears a numerously signed peti tion for the creation of the new Territory of Are zonia in the Gadsden purchase. On the 16th the sloop Cyane arrived, having left San Juan del Norte, on the 11th 'with one hundred and. forty-two of Walker's men and on the 18th, the frigate Roanoke, twelve days from Hampton Roads. Upwards of three hundred of Walker's men, were on board the frigate Roanoke, at .Aspinwall, when the Blinoia sailed. More reliable intelligenCe of the Sonora expe ditionists has been received. The main facts of the total annihilation of the party of Col. Crabbe, is fully confirmed. The trial of Edward McGowan, on a charge of being accessary to the murder of James King of William, was brought to a termination on the Ist inst. He was found not guilty. The Democratic State Convention, is to be held on the 14th of July. The Republican State Con. vention, on the Bth of the same month. The most prominent gubernatorial aspirant is ex-senator John B. Weller, who will encounter opposition from the Broderick clique, who will use every exertion to insure the nomination of their own candiolate in the convention. Great indignation is felt throughout the State against the Mormons of Salt Lake, since the de velopements of Judge Drummond concerning them. The agricultural interest bad been greatly bene fitted by the late Spring rains and fair weather, though not average crops are anticipated. ' A rumor prevailed that Col. Harasztby, melter and refiner at the U. S. branch mint is a defaulter to a large amount, variously stated at $lOO,OOO to $500,000.. Col. H. made over all his property to the United States Government against any de ficiency chargeable against him. Washington. Jim 20.—The Interior Department haw re ceived information that the superintendents of the several branches of the Pacific Wagon Road are prosecuting the work with energy, and will hurry on its completion. The subject of the California mail was again considered by the Cabinet to day. The points in the route having been determined, it now rests with the Postmaster General to make the con tracts. The President will leave the Capitol for the Bedford Springs, Pennsylvania, about the middle of July, and on his return will remove to his sum mer residence, the Soldier's Home, about four miles from Washington. WESTgati PENITENTIARY.—The work of putting on the new galvanized iron roof by W. B. Scaife & Co., is now completed, and the inmates of the penitentiary are fairly under a snb..tantial cov ering from the sun and rain, The new roof adds very much to the appearance of the building. The penitentiary is now in cap•a-pie order, throughout, and is a model institution. Much of the "completeness of the appointments" is owing to the energy and perseverence of Maj. Beck ham, who has discharged the duties of warden for many years, with great credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the public. After patiently enduring the storms of years, that have bsaten through the old roof, we can congratulate the Major and his family on being comfortably and snugly housed.—Dispatch.

The grain harvest in Europe, according to in telligent information, will be magnificent, the silk crop worse than last year, which Iris very bad. The vintage seems likely to rival thi grain crop and to reedeem the failure of several years. The public health in all the Southern cities re mains unexceptionable. No signs ofiyellow fever, or epidemic disease of any descriptien, in any di rection. Peaches will be abundant in Soutaarn Illinois. A man near Jonesborough has a young orchard of 7,000 trees, which ho'hopes will yield a bushel each. The St. Louis Democrat mentions the purchase of 14,000 acres of land in Dade and Barton coun ties, in Southwestern Missouri, by a large com pany of Pennsylvanians, of German descent, who design. settling there. A green rose is now in bloom in Grant Thorn; burn's seed store, Broadway, New York. The leaf, stalk, buds and flower are all like those of ordinary roses in forni and all of one uniform green color. The parent stalk is said , to have come from Japan. A LARGE FLEECE or WooL.—The Cadiz Repub lican says that a Mr. Minteer, of Harrison coun ty, brought to that town a fleece of wool shorn from an imported French Buck, which weighed 28 pounds. The buck is four years old; cost $175, and was imported from France. The wheat harvest in Georgia, is now being gathered. A letter in the New York Journal of Commerce, from Athens, says that ,bbth as to quantity and quality, it is the best ever had in Georgia. Oats have suffered a little from dry weather, although a full average yield is harvest ed, or will be. Corn is backward and small for the season of the year, but, is generally healthy, and may yet turn out well. Cotton, however, is too much injured fully to recover, no matter how much it may be favored here after. Ctratons earse von Mortny.-4-The mutiny among the native troops of the British Indian re giments is said to have been caused by using pork and bnllock fat instead of mutton suet, to grease the•cartridges of their guns. The relig ions feeling of the natives is either Mahommedan or Hindoo. The first could not stand the pork abomination, and the last held the bullock as sacred. The fanaticism of the troops beitig once roused, it could not be easily quelled again. OLDEST MAN IN AItSBRICA.-A correspondent of the Cassville, Ga., Standard, says there is now living in Murray County, Ga., on the waters of Holy Creek, a Revolutionary veteran, who has attained the age of one hundred and thirty-four. His name is John Hames. He was born in Meck lenburg County, Va., and was a lad ten years old when Washington was in his cradle. He was thirty-two when Braddock met his disastrous de feat on the Monongahela. He, with several of his neighbors, set forth to join the ill fated com mander, but after several days' march, were turned back by the news of his overthrow He migrated to South Carolina nearly a hundred years ago. He was in thirteen considerable conflicts during the War of Independence, and in skirmishes and encounters with the Indians, with Tories and with British, times beyond memory. He was with Gates at Camden, with Morgan at Cnwpens, with Green at Hillsboro' and Eutaw, and with Marion in many a bold rush into a tory camp or red-coat quarters. *reign jattiligente.

The London Times advocates the abolition of slavery in Cuba, as the only effectual means of checking the slave trade. The baptism of the infant Princess of England took place at Buck ingham Palace on the 9th inst. A meeting was held at Ashton, under the auspices of the Cotton Supply Association, and passed resolutions simi lar to those passed by the Liverpool meeting. Parliament. Business in the House of Commons was pro . gressing steadily and firmly. Among other im portant matters the Jews' Disability bill was being discussed. The Roman Catholic amend ment was defeated by an immense majority. A spirited discussion occurred in the Reuse of Commons in regard to the destruction of Grey town by an American war vessel. • Lord Hamilton inquired if the Government had demanded reparation for the British property de stroyed. Lord Palmerston replied, it had not ; the law officers.of the Crown having given the, opinion that the demand could not be sustained. A discussion ensued, in which De Israeli, Roe buck, and others denounCed the outrage, and in sisted that the honor of the British flag ought to have been maintained. Lord John Russell and others defended the government, and then the subject was dropped. AFFAIRS IN INDIA, always a topic of deep in terest for Englishmen. were receiving much attention. There has been a great amelioration of the condition of the people of that country, but many hardships are still endured by them. In regard to all these the resident Christians of 1 . foreign. birth, are the friends of the masses. The ministers of the Evangelical religion, are an ameliorating and reforming power in every coun try where they reside, whether they be a part of the native population, or missionaries from a dis tant land. Their influence in India has been immense, and it is still in progress. The London Christian Times, thus speaks of a movement at present in progress in the British Parliament : A discussion of a most interesting nature took place last night in the House of Commons oja the subject of India. Some time ago a petition was presented to the House by the Protestant mission aries of all denominations laboring in the lower provinces of Bengal, setting forth the enormous evils under which' the inhabitants of these dis tricts groan. In some respects, the primary elements of government are denied to the wretched inhabitants. Their country is overrun With robbers ; and the police who ought to pro tect them are the biggest robbers of the two. The seisure of their property by the first is not the worst evil ; it brings with it a consequence still more alarming in their eyes—the visit of the police, who, under the pretence of examination, seldom fail to strip them of all that is left. Such a state of matters is so monstrous that we should have hesitated to accept it, even on the authority of the missionaries, who being on the spot, testify only to what their own eyes have seen. But all the salient points of the grievances are admitted by the Indian Government itself. Governors, magistrates, collectors of revenue, while they are indignant at the interference of the missionaries, in matters which they say do not concern them, at the same time admit that every word they say is tree. In the course of the' discussion that fol lowed, there were various attempts made to throw discredit upon the missionaries for meddling with matters out of their sphere—following in that re spect the lofty tole of the authorities in India. The missionaries may well afford to smile at these impertinences. They serve a higher MAME, and are amenable to a more august tribunal ; and if they wished to receive honor from men, they might find it in the fact, that the.very men who resent their interference have had their reforms set in motion at their bidding, and that their influence is acknowledged even while it is protested against. At a meeting of the Committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society, held on Monday, the following resolution was adopted : " That this committee do open their meetings with prayer." The conference of Ministers of religion upon the Melee. Liqubr Law moiement at-fettinallestei brought its proceedings to a close. Deputations from Working Men's Committees, from the Salford Temperance Societies, and from n committee of the British Temperance League, were received during the morning. The following resolution was adopted, on the motion of Rev. J. P. Chown, of Bradford " That this meeting is of opinion that the legislative prohibition of the liquor traffic is the only effectual means for the suppression of the drunkenness of this country." BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN LONDON.—The returns for the week that ended on Saturday, June 6, ex hibit the gratifying fact that the remarkably small number of 868 deaths were registered in that period in London. The deaths now returned are less by 209 than the average rate of mortality at this period of the year would have produced. Last week the births of 774 boys and 768 girls, in all 1,542 children, Were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56, the average number was 1,497. DEATH OF MR. DOUGLAS JERROLD.—The grave has closed over the career of one of the most bril liant of modern wits. Douglas Jerrold, the dramatist, the novelist, the political satirist, the comic writer, the social wit, has departed from amongst us, while his intelleetual powers were at their highest, and when experience and observa tion were mellowing down much of that sourness of temper which early adversity called forth, and which boiled over in many a sharp and bitter censure. F 11111100. There is much 'reugirk in the Foreign journals respecting the pending election for members of the Legislature in France'. The form of voting is to be kept up, and the name of an election—an un restrained choice—is greatly desired; 'but the re ality of such a thing would be a dangerous mat ter to grant. A letter writer says : Once upon a time there was a political carica ture representing Harlequin on his return from the fair; he distributes drums, and fifes, , and trumpets among his children ; " Play away, my little dears," he cries, "jump, dance, and be merry ; but if I hear the least noise, I shall throw everything into the fire." " Certain proviocial journals," says the Siecle, "pretend that they are in the position of Harlequin's children . ; so long as they speak of nothing they are perfectly free." "We have not," says the Tnckpendant 1' °nest, "to interfere in the approaching elections. Silence is imposed on us." Indeed our contemporary adds, that it has been officially invited to abstain from any observation resembling censure, blame, or even commendation of the functionaries of the empire. As to' he personal influence of the Emperor, in more than one place, be has designated' he candi date whose election he wishes for. The following is a letter he has written to Baron Mariani : "My dear commander :—The Minister of the interior must have told you that I had decided that you should be the candidate of the Government in Corsica. You may therefore proclaim it aloud, for I shall be very happy that the confidence of the electors should bring you to the 'Chamber. Believe in all my feelings of friendship." The Protestants of the United States who are constructing a chapel in the Rue de Berri, be tween the Champs Elysees and the Faubourg St. Honore, have obtained an authorisation to cele brate Divine service there, only it is stipulated in the official document, that the authorisation is granted for religions services in the English lan guage exclusively. Interesting documents have lately appeared on the French population. The number of births in 1853 was only 275,537, 27,444 less than that of the preceding year. In 1820, the average dura tion of life in France was but 32 years, it was 39 years in 1853, showing an increase of 7 years in the third of a century. In France, one natural birth is estimated to take place for thirteen legi timate ones; in 1853 the proportion was some what larger than it had .been for fifty years. As to marriage, there have been but few oscillations. It is proved that men contract second marriages more frequently than women; the proportion is nearly double In the department of the Seine, one widow in ten marries again; in the other de partments, one in thirteen. About a third of the men and more than half the women married in 1853 were illiterate. Rued w. A treaty of commerce between France and Rus sia has been signed. The Emperor and Empress were to embark at Cronstadt on the 23d of June, for a tour in Ger many, and to have it was reported, an interview with the Emperor of France, at Wilbald, in July. The trade reports from St. Petersburgh describe business as very dull, with very few arrivals of foreign orders for grain. The French Ifoniteur de la Plate publishes a let ter from Sebastopol, which asserts that the ves sels raised is that harbor were those which were grounded in shallow water, receiving but slight damage, while those sunk as barriers were imbed ed the sand. Austria. Austria was making further concessions to the Hungarians. Rumors were rife of a conference of the Poten tates of the Italian States. The Pope of Rome. the Emperor of Austria, the Ring of Naples, and others, it was said, wouli also be present at it. Saxony. The whole kingdom of Saxony, and most of the .Principalities, were visited by an earthquake on the 7th inst. The houses trembled, and great consternation prevailed among the people ; but, happily, there were no serious consequences. C4ts . There is some petty warfare still waged between the English and Chinese. The Chinese, however, are not able to assail the English, sustain - ad by their fleet at Hong Kong; and the English are awaiting apices and reinforcements from home, before assuming the offensive. The Rebels still seriously annoy the government, though they are making no great progress. , Another Asiatic itailliroad. We observe among other novelties in our last European files, that a Company has been organ ized in London, with a capital of £1,200,000, for the construction of a railway from Smyrna to Aidin, a distance of seventy miles, which will bring the two cities within three hours of, each other, instead of four days, as at present. The imports ald exports of Smyrna amounted in 1856 to $25,000,000. That city, contains 160,000 peo ple, and Aldin 60,000, the latter being a converg ing point for much of the inland traffic of that port of Asia Minor, op its way to the seaboard. At present 10,000 camels are employed, at a cost of £400,000.a year, to convey produce and mar ohaudize between the two places. When'the pro jected railway is completed, all this animal activ ity will disappear. The Turkish Government has granted a concession (charter) for the projected railroad, takes 16,000 shares, and guarantees a dividend of six per cent. It is more than prob able that the creative influence of the iron horse will restore the more cultivateable regions of Asia Minor, now almost a wilderness, to the fertility, prosperity, traffic and population which distin guished that portion of the world in the latter days of the Roman Republic. and during the reigns of the earlier Ctesars. Alas! the bygone greatness of Asia Minor is now only attested by the cities and temples almost innumerable. The agricultural resources are vast, in tobacco, figs, cotton, poppies, the mulberry for silk worms, wheat, maize, barley, beans, flax, hemp, seeds, drugs, ere•stuffs, wool, honey and wax. One of the best features of the speculation is, that there are coal mines at no great distance. Thus are many of the nations of the earth, that had long passed away, about to be resuscitated by the magical agency of steam. smith. On the 23d nit, by Rev. T. R. Taylor,Rev. Roue W.

Mrs. Edwards was formerly a member of the Fourth Presbyterian church, Pittsburgh, (as Miss Richards,) bet she had removed with her husband to this distant post on the frontier, uni ted herself with the little church of this place, and labored steadfastly in her Master's service until called to her reward. Drzu—May 17th, at the residence of her hus band, in Elderton, Armstrong County, Pa., Mrs. MARY ANN CLINGUIBERGIIIB, aged about 40 years. The deceased was a consistent and worthy member of the Presbyterian church of Elderton, at the time of her death. Her training in early life was in the doctrines and principles of the Presbyterian Church. She first united with the church of Ebenezer. She had been, since the organization of the church in Elderton, a member of it. She leaves a husband and live children, to feel the loss of so valuable a wife and mother. But their consolation ie, for her " to die is gain." "To be with Christ ie far better." W.P.M. DIED—On the 31st of May last s at New Lon don, Henry County, lowa, Mrs. CATHARINE BARNS, wife of John Barns, aged 69 years. The decease,d was a native of Westmoreland County, Pa., and, with her husband, was a mem ber of Long Run Presbyterian church, then un der the pastoral care or Rev. William Sloan; fram 1810 till they removed to West Point, lowa, in 1840; where she, with her husband, joined the Presbyterian church of that place, under the Ministry, at that tint°, of the Rev. S. Cowles, where she remained until the Fall of 1866; when she, with her husband, removed to New London, to spend her last days with her only surviving daughter, Mrs. Mary Pattison, wife of Rev. Alex ander Pattison. Her health had been declining for two or three years, with affection of the lungs, accompanied with severe cough, and several times apparently beyond the hope of recovery ; all of which she bore with Christian fortitude and re signation and thus, with her long consistent life, gave the best evidence that to die was gain to her. She raised nine children, of whom all but one, who died in early, life, and one now living, made profession of their faith, in the Pres byterian church. When she died, she was amem ber of the Presbyterian church in New London. S.C. Drisn=-June 20th, at the house of her son-in law, Mr. James Gray, North Huntingdon Town ship, Westmoreland County, Pa., Mrs. Jens Clumsy, in the 95th year of her age. NAPOLEON Mrs. Crosby was a native of Ireland, 'and in early life, publicly professing the religion of Christ, she united with the Presbyterian Church in her native land. Emigrating to thin country, with her husband, they settled within the bounds of the Long Run Presbyterian church, Pa., of which deceased has been a consistent member for more than half a century. During years of con-. finement, in ,which she suffered comparatively little bodily pain, her faith, nourished by daily readings of God's Word, grew clear and strong. Reposing on Christ's righteousness alone, she was patiently looking for the change ; and to her, death was not a " Sing of Terrors," but .rather a heavenly messenger sent by the Great Father on high to unbind the chain, bidding her up to' the everlasting joy that awaits God's ransomed. Her piety was the brightest gem in her charac ter ; her trust in God ; her love to the Saviour her devotion to the Church and Standards, to which she was warmly attached—all attested the reality of her religion, and threw around her character adornments and attractions which the grace of Christ alone can bestow. She died in peace, calm as . an infant that rests in the arms its loves; that peace flowing through her " soul like a mighty river ;" thatriver increasing, widen ing, and deepening, till lost in the ocean of a blessed eternity. Truly it would be criminal for relatives and the • Church not to Pray, " Help, Lord, for the godly ceaseth, for the faith ful fail from among the children of men." A.W.G. ADVERTISEMENTS.

There is in them a freshness of conception ' a power of argumentation, a depth of thought, a purity of feeling. rarely met with in works of that char. meter. . . . But what Is in a great degree peculiar to our author, Is the successful combination of Christian doctrines with pure scientific truths " From Bev. Thomas Chalmers. D.D., LL.D.: "Since the death of Sir Walter Scott, he (Hugh Miller) le the greatest Scotchmau that le left." , From Sir David Brewster, LLD., F.R.S.: " Among the eminent students of the PUT:faun, of the earth, Mr. Hugh Miller holds a lofty place, not merely from the discovery of new and undervaribed organisms in the Old Red Sandstone, but from the accuracy and beauty of his de soriptionp, the purity and elegance of hie compositions, and the high tone of philosophy and religion which distinguishes all his writings. . . . With the exception of Burns, Ike uneducated genius which has done honor to Scotland during the last century hair never displayed that mental refinement, and classical taste, and iv tellectual energy, which mark all the writings of our author." From Rev. William Buckland, D.D., : Dr. Rockland raid, at a meeting of the British AIIOCIA. tlOll, "I have never been so much estonlzhed in my life, by the powers of any man, se I have been by the Geological descriptions of Hugh Miller. That wonderful man describes these objects with a facility which makes me ashamed of the comparative mearrreness awl poverty of my own de scriptions in the Bridgewater Treatise,' which cost me hour, and daye of labor. I would give my left band to pos sess such powers of description es the man ; and if it pleases Providence to spare his useful life, he, if any one, will certainly render science attractive and popular, and do equal service to Theology and Geology." From Rev. WilliamManns, LL.D.: "He succeeded in placing his name in-the first rank of British scientific writers and thinkers. His works ere char acterized by a toe union of strict science, classic diction, and enchanting description, which rime, not unfrequently, into the loftiest vein of poetry." From Sir Roderick Murchison, F.R.13 Sir Roderick Murchison, in his address to the Geological Society, "hailed the accession to their science of such a writer," and said that "his work (Old Red Sand-tone,) is, to abeginner, worth a thousand didactic treatises."
