in our last, was listened to with great atten

declined reelection as President, and the

was elected in place of the former, and the

place of the latter. The meeting for next

NEW YORK.
There has been much Excitement in
sancial Circles, during the week. Firms
and institutions, considered safe a few days
ago, havo been forced to suspend; while
several large houses have been reported
among the failures, without the least foun
dation. Some close observers, and of large
experience, suppose that the worst of the
panic is now over.
The Sixty-Sixth Annual Sale of the
New York Book Trade began on Tuesday,
the Bth inst. A diffioulty of two or three
years' standing has led one set of publishers
to employ Leavitt & Delisser, and another
Bangs & Co. The bidding'for some works
was spirited, but on the whole, less anxiety
to purchase was manifested, and lower
prices were obtained than usual. Still, the
'best works—the classics of England and
America—brought good prioes. Among the
works which sold readily, were those of Poe)
Trench, and the Nodes Ambrosiano, of
Wilson, The publications of Oowperthwait,
of Philadelphia, of Philips & Sampson,
Crocker & Brewster, and Little & Brown, of
Boston, and of Putnam, Appletou, and
Francis, of New York, were most sought
f)r, and brought the best prices. Harper's
books did pot sell quite so well as usual.
The Book Trade has, in common with other
pursuits, felt the effect of the depression of
the money market. In times such as the
present, there is less demand for books, and
more for newspapers, than in ordinary air-
cumstances. People are too much excited
to think much of books, but they are iinx
io us to know the latest news, the state of
the markets and stooks, and general condi
tion of the trade and finances of the country.
The Temperance Journal and Prollibi
tieniit has for some time contained a call for
a Convention of Ministers at Poughkeepsie,
on the 16th instant, to take into considera
tion the present state of the Temperance
cause, and the duties of ministers and
Christian men with respect to it. Many
organizations of Juvenile Temperance So
cieties are being effected in the Stste. It is
time for a new interest to be awakened
among ministers, in the Churches, and
among the people, on this important matter.
It is time that this subject should be wrested
from the hands of politicians, and any others
, who may have.seised upon it for purposes of
self- aggrandisement. Drunkenness and mod
erate drinking are fearfully on the increase;
the wine cup passes in circles from which it
was banished some years ago, and the fatal
!:effects are beginning to appear.
Dr. Abbott has sent home to the Museum
another collection of Egyptian Curiosities,
among which there is a mummy supposed,
from very strong evidence, to contain the
remains of one of the Pharaohs, who lived
at the time of ltycernus,, the builder ,of
the third pyramid of G-hizeh, whose bones are
now in the British Museum. At all events,
it is certain that this is the oldest speci
men of the kind in the United States.

PHILADELPHIA,
This city has not escaped the Financtiol
Troubles which have of late been agitating
the commercial circles of its sister city.
Two large iron firms have suspended, though
the assets in both cases are double the lie
': bilities, but consist generally , of railroad
stocks, bonds, and mortgages, and .conse
t;quently unavailable at present. Ti'e pres
' sure has been more severe than has been
experienced for years. But it is not sup
posed that , there will be suspensions or
failures proportionate to New York. The
business is not •so expanded, and the pro
portion of capital to the amount of business
is far. greater.
Rev. john Ludiow, D.l) , who has long
occupied a distinguished place in the Re
formed Dutch Church, died in this city,
Monday evening, 7th inst. He'was born in
the State of New Jersey, and received his
literary education at Union College. Soon
after his ordination to the full work of the.
mieistry, he was called to a' Professorship in
the riming - Iml Seminary at Neir Bruns-
wick; afterwards, he was the successful pas
tor of the North Dutch church of Albany,
for eleven years. At the end of that period
'he was elected Provost of the University of
Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, Pa., which'
situation ho occupied for nineteen years.
After the death of Rev. Dr., Canon, he was
elected Professor of Pastoral Theology, Ec
clesiastical History, and Church Govern
ment, in the Theological Seminary at New
Brunpwick, N. J., which office he filled for
five years.

Western Correspondence
Du. M'KINNEY :—Thc Board of Di
roctotri of the Theological Selidn ry for the
North-West, has just closed a most interest
ing and im pot taut session at Chicago. Bev.
N. L. Rice, D. D., was elected to the Pro
fessorship declined some time since by Dr.
Brown; and it is hoped ard expected
that he will accept of the position. This
appointment will give very general satisfac
tion throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, lowa,
and Missouri, and will no doubt be the
means of securing the cooperation of the
Synod of Missouri in support of the insti
tution. Any fears which might have been
entertained heretofore respecting the future
character of the Seminary, will now be
effectually allayed; and many who have felt
somewhat disposed to question the propriety
of the enterprise, will now no doubt give it
their hearty support. We can but rejoice
that the Doetor's valuable services have
been scoured. His learning and the protn
inept positions occupied by him in the
Church for the last few years, will draw
many students to the institution from the
West and South.
The .Board also took action which, will in
time secure for the Seminary the supervision
of tlie General Assembly. This is as it
should be. Sueh is the feeling in our
Church, begotten by our past experience,
that an 'institution educating a ministry for
the whole Church, can hardly be expected
to be generally popular, which does not haVe
the supervision of the Court composed of
delegates from all its parts. Not that
Synods may not sustain and properly con
duct such an institution; but the past has,
in a measure ' settled our policy; and the
feeling in the Church now is, that the man.-
agement of the institutions doing a general
work should not be confined exclusively to 'a
fraction of the Church. Much, of course,
can be said in favor of exclusive Synodical
control; and it may be urged that the.
Synods in the immediate vicinity of ate
Seminary are the real conductors of all its
operations, and that the control of the As
sembly is, after all, but nominal. Be it so.
No institution, could surely secure .popular
ity on easier terms. The Synods continue
to exert their influence, doing really the
work, and the whole work, if youplease—
while the whole Church 2is satisfied by, an
annual review and revision ,of, what the
Synods have done.
With Dr. Rice's well-known views, upon
this subject, we have no doubt but the
Seminary will be placed tinder charge ,of
the Assembly, as soon as it can be Constitu
tionally effeoted.
The Board also took action upon the mat
,„
ter of building, and the construction of .:a
suitable edifice in which to instruct the
classes, will be carried . forward with. energy.
It is not, understood that any material
changed in this, regard have been, agreed
upon; but a building costing about.s7o,ooo,
as before designed, will be erected imme
diately, to which suitable wings will be ad
ded, as fast asthe finances will warrant. The
whole building, when completed, will, with
out doubt, be one of the most magnificent
structures for such a purpose in the United
States, and will be one el the chief objeets
of attraction in the city.
We think we can say .to our friends
throughout, the whole Church, that the fu
ture will exhibit the wisdom of this move
ment,'and they will have cause to see the
band of God in it. We feel here in the
West, as though we could
' point to so; many,
and so clear indications of God'd will in
respect, to it, that, having put the hand to
the work, we cannot look back. Some
things have seemed to be 'against us ; but
we can now see that these have served the
salutary purpose of calling attention more
earnestly to the enterprise, and 'have re
sultedin such anissue as to give us, under
God, the earnest of entire success. Let us
have' the prayers of the whole Church,
that the North-West may have wisdom for
So great and so-difficult a. Work. ,
Nearly connected , with this subjeet, is the
action of the North church, Chicago, of
which yew readers have been advised pre
irionsly. At, a meeting of the Presbytery of
Chicago, held upon the 3d of September, at
Mendota, a call was presented, and by them
forwarded to thee presbytery of St. Louis,
for the services of Dr. Rice. He accepts
this call, and 'enters in October upon his
pastoral dutiOs, with a salary of $5,000 per
ea:him-83,000 of which is paid, by one
wealthy, and henevolent individual. This
arrangement does not, of course, conflict
with the Dr.'s duties in the Seminary, as, it
is by n& means unusual for Theological Pro
fessors to have pastoral 'Charges.
.Dr.
Plumer, of Allegheny, is an -instance. He
imparts solid instruction to 'hiti students,
'from 'his professional stand, during the week,
and no less solid or valuable instruction, to
large and intelligent audiences, from the sa
cred desk, upon the Load's day. •
A semi-monthly paper 'will also be started
at Chicago, devoted' to the interest of our
Church, of which it is Understood Dr. Rice
will have,the principal charge.
.This is not,
so far as 1 can learn, a transfer of the -St.
Louis Presbyterian, which is still needed by
the brethren of Missouri, bait is a new en
terprise, eventually no doubt to be expanded
into a weekly, when the West will warrant
the change.. Thus we grow and strengthen.

Letters lately received from Bro. H. L
Coe, our indefatigahle Secretary of Church
Extension, give the information that since
the meeting of the Assembly he has made
an extensive tour on the work of. his ; agency,
'throughout Central, Western, and Northern
Missouri. Bro. 0. Epeaks in glowing terms
of that most fertile portion of the Union.

rapidity. A highly-intelligent and indus

churches are being organized, and others

Parliament was prorogued on the 28th.
The Queen's speech was delivered by commis

" Her Majesty commands us :to express to you.
her satisfaction that the present state of affairs in

The Speech then thanks Parliament for the lib={

for the assurance of support to restore tranquility
in India. It expresses satisfaction at the liquida
tion of the Danish Sound Dues redemption without
adding to the national debt, awl gratification at
the passage of the Divorce bill, and sundry other
acts of local importance.
Nothing oflicuel had been promulgated $l9 to the
Atlantic Telegraph, bat it appears. to be taken for
granted that the enterprise will be postponed un
til next Summer.
The London MU'S and other leading papers,
strongly urge the immediate construction of a
telegraph to India, and the acquisition of the At
hintic cable for that purpose.
The Times, in a leader on that subject says:—
" Tho Atlhntio Telegraph Company, in the exer
cise of their discretion, have decided on not im
mediately renewing the attempts to connect Eng
land with the United States, and their cable is
disposable for a similar enterprize in another di
rection. An impression prevailed that the ,cable
could be bought for India."
