For the Presbyterian Ratititr and Advocate
Board of Domestic Missions--• Funds still
Inadequate.
We deeply regret to Eay, that not with
nur oft repeated and urgent appeals,
the treasury of the Board of Domestic Mis
nous has nut been adequately replenished.
For the first time in four years, and proba
bly longer, our funds were not sufficient
thmt the beginniog of the month (Nevem
r) to meet our li.bilities, and we could
all the wisiionaries who bad reported
iring the week ! Our condition at present
(.`..;.veurber 1 [Lb) is such, that it is doubtful
whether there will be enough in the treasury
to 1 , 1 all who may report before Monday
nt s%—the d ,y of the week when payments
Err; ,ordered by the Executi‘e Committee !
We present these mournful facts before
the churches and earnestly, entreat them to
relieve the Board in its present embarrassed
euridition. We have commenced the pain
ful work of reduction, but this cannot im
mediately afford relief to the Board; and
unless the contributions of the churches are
increased azd promptly forwarded, the mis.
sionuries will be obliged, at great inconve
nience and perhaps much real suffering, to
wait fur their salaries after they have become
due.
We are aware that the times aye unpro
pith us, and that almost all classes are suffer
ing from the general' derangement in mone
tary affiirs, yet is it not both a duty and
plivikge to make sacrifices, if necessary,
r tban allow the cause of Christ to
suffer ? Will not the people of God prayer
fully eomider and deteimine what is their
duty to the Board and its six hundred mis
kinnaiits who ate laboring with many self
& olds and disheartening difficulties to build
up the kingdom of the Redeemer and save
the kc,u) uf their fellow men from everlast
ruiu? Our earnest prayer is, that the
(~il7‘l of all grace may incline his people to
do what they can and ought, for their own
sakes, as will as for the sake of the many
who ate hpending upon their benevolence.

Western Correspondence.
Dn. MOKINIVEY :—En Dr. 'Baird's very
interesting letter from the Contioent of Eli
rupe, ia which he des3rlb..ts ihe incident 3
co:income] with the Evaugelieal Alliance
meeting, at Berlin, your leacletri have no
doubt perked, that upon Sahli rth morning,
during the sessions of the Allinnee, the
American and English delegates, to the
Lumber of sums two hundred, assembled in
tie great salon of the Hotel do Ramo, and
pattuule of the Lord's Supper. The Dr.
srys of it: "It was an occasion not soon to
bu forgotten There Episcopalians, Presby
terians, Methodists, Bl,List , ,, Lutherans,
111 , ravians, all joiotd in the eelebratiomof
this beautiful and touching ordinance, in
circumstances so novel and extraordinary:"
1 call the attenti.rn of your readers to this
circumstance, for the par prise of making one
or two observations in regard to it.
Dow mauifestly improper it would Lave
Leto for any member ot the Alliance to
!rave ieluseo tr , engrge, under the circum•
stances, lo tarticiputiog in the ordinance of
the B,upvi ? The object of the meeting
was, in a great measure, to promote a more
pert( et 'mil in the great Protestant family
of Churches, cad to show to the world, and
(specially to the Papacy, that there is a real
Lund of union, a rareness in the Protestant
World to-dry. The Lord's Supper is dia
pc
nsed—that. ordivauce which, ot all others,
is a remerribraueor of Christ, the head of
ti's one body. Hew proper now that the
.dy, the whole laxly, be found, as one, en
gaging in the ordinance, and how exceed
ingly inconsistent would the conduct of
th se appear, who, hair% members of the
A linrncc, and of the body of Christ, at mold
v. , lenrarily act as Ape,-tutors, simpf . y, upon
such an or:erasion ! Dr. 13 ird does not ia-
Jam us that there were any Fpootators there;
thry all participated, though there were
Bnpti,ti there, and di gates from certain
other branches of the Christian Church, in
which What is termed it elose-eornmunion"
is practiced, nod (Wended. What did the
delegates belon g i ng , to tic Reformed, and ,
Associate Re for tr (;:arches, do upon this
occasion ? Did they appear at that Comniu
board with our li.ptist brethren, as
oi a with the great. Protestant family of
Chlistiau Churehrs? I trust they did--I
almost said I believe they did. Had
they acted upon the avatar d principlestof
their respeetive Courehes at home, one' of
titris %Awl *wed bitYo been wirnot.t
Berlin--the delegates from the close-com
munion Churches would have been seen &-
cluing the elements representing the body
n l blood of their common Lord, in an as
fieinbly designed to represent the unity of
Protestant Christendom, or four separate
Communion services would have been re-
quired—one for those members of the Alli
ance who were willing to sit together at the
same table, and one each for the delegates
from the l3aptist Church, the Reformed
Presbyterian, and Associate Reformed. I
trust, however, that all these biethren were
found sitting down together—Dr. Black by
the side of Dr. Baird ; Dr..forsyth and Bap.
tist Noel together; and all with Bishop
Simpson and Dr. McClintock, so participat
ing as to give the world and Papacy to know
that the are one,
It is held, so far as I know, by our Bap
tist brethren in the United States, that their
views of Communion follow necessarily upon
their convictions as to the mode of baptism;
and' that to be consistent, they must be
close communionists. To my mind, it is a
powerful argument against the position, that
immersion is alone baptism—that it does
thus lead to the uncharitable practice of
close-communion. It does not seem to me
that that can be the true doctrine, upon this
or any other subject, which would lead por
tions of the household of faith either to re
fuse to attend a World's Protestant Conven
ti }n, or to say, when there, "I cannot sit
with you at the table of your Lord and
mine.
English Baptists, whilst strict as to the
mole, do not all, at least, carry the matter so
far as to refuse to commune with the " un
baptized."
Let us hope that a few more meetings of
the World's Alliance, will call out from the
great heart of one common Protestant Chris
tianity, so much of the love and charity of
true religion, that they will bear away before
them all the man-made barriers which now
interfere with the hearty and loving com
munion of all who have, in the Church of
Christ, a standing above reproach; and, who,
if tried by Bible tests, would be recognized
as God's people by every Evangelical Church
of Protestantism.
But we turn to other matters. We see,
by the reports which have reached us from
the Synod of Upper Missouri, that another
Synod is soon to be formed from two new
Presbyteries in Kansas, and one which has
het colore been in connexion with the Synod
Of Missouri. The next General Assembly
Will no doubt consummate this matter, and
the Synod of Kansas will be enrolled among
the sisterhood. Minnesota will also, without
doubt, ere long take action in the same
direction, as we understand the brethren
there are already reflecting upon the .sub
ject. Thus, under the smile of the God of
the Church, Zion continues to lengthen her
cords and strengthen her stakes; her bor
ders are enlarged, new and 'most inviting
fields of labor are opened up, to her, and her
Presbyterial and Synodical Judicatories are
increasing. In a territory where, but thirty
years ago, the heathenism of the Indian,
and the scarce less heathenish practices of
the Papal Church, bad the entire ground,
are now seen thousands of Christian churches,
fully organized, with their ohurch judica
tories, laboring efficiently for the spread of
the Gospel at home' and abroad. To any
nothing of other communions, the Old
School Presbyterian Church has, in those
thirty years, made noble progress, and has
secured, we trust, a foothold which will give
her great usefulness.
In the territory lyiog upon either side of
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, extend
ing up those noble streams from th, it point
of contact, we have, at this present time, no
less than seven Synods, twenty-two Presby
teries, three hundred active ministers, four
hundred and fifty churches, with a con•
saintly increasing number. If, today, there
could be a convention of all the ministers of
our denomination, and a lay-delegate from
each church in our connexion in Missouri,
Kansas, lowa, Illinois, 'Wisconsin, and Min
nesota, there would be au attendance of not
less than seven hundred and fifty persons.
And all this be it remembered, has been
effected within: the memory of young men
upon the ground; and still greaterchanges
are to be effected before these young men are
way with years. In the meantime, we
need greatly enlarged outpourings of the
Duly Spirit, that we may be prepared for
the work the Lord has for us to do, and that
we may be kept humble under the prosper
ityhe is pleased to bestow upon as.
The church at Rockford, Illinois 7 has sent
a pressing call to brother Manning, of Tren
ton, N. J. He has not yet,'as' we have
beard, accepted their invitation. We hope,
however, he will do so. We scarcely, know
a position in this State, where our Church is
in more need of the labors of an active, effi
cient, able minister of Christ. Rockford is
con'essedly one of the most beautiful cities
in the United States. We have heard it
again and again so described by those who
have traveled extensively throughout the
Union, and whose opportunities for judging
were of the most ample kind. A first-class
church of, our order might be built up in
this place, without 'doubt, had we 'diet:flan.
We hope brother Manning will give their
call a most careful consideration.
The Old School church, at Oquawka, 111.,
on the Mississippi rivers is, ,we are glad to
learn, prospering under the pastoral care of
brother Hanson, formerly of Easton, Pa.
Brother H. has labored about one year in
Oquawka, and the church, has, during that
time, added one fourth to its membership.
May the Lord continue to•bless them.
We begin to hear of some awakenings in
same parts of the West—sinners beginning
to inquire the way to Zion. At Sterling,
Illinois, the Methodist church has been in
the enjoyment of quite a revival, some fifteen
or twenty having professed conversion, and
others inquiring. We hope to be able to
record the outpouring of the Spirit upon
all our churches throughout our borders, and
in all communions. Oh that the windows
of heaven were opened, and a blessing
poured out in such measure, that there
would not be room to receive it.
The Board or Directors for the Theological
Seminary for the North-West, meets in Chi
cago on "the 17th of November. This will
be an important Meeting, and in some re
spects, no d.nbt, the most important ever
held by the Board. I will hope to give
your readers an early report of their opera
tions. Yours, &a.,

Wood's Hair Restorative.
Among all preparations for the , hair that have
been introduced as infallible, none bas ever given
the satisfaotion or gained the popularity that Prof.
Wood's Hair Restorative now has. His Restora
tive has passed the ordeal of innumerahle fash
ionable toilets, and the ladles, wherever they have
tested it, pronounce it a peerless article. They
find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a
fresh growth—that it fully restores the vegetative
power of the roots on the denuded places, and
causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis
solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when gray
ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre,
imparts the softness and flexibility of silk tO the
hair, and 'seeps it nlivays laxarrhiat,.healthy, and
in full yigor.--.101 Y. Tribupe 4 •

THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
geb3s pepariment,
JAMES P. JONES charged with the murder of
Wm. Campbell in the first degree, before the
Criminal Court of this County, has been acquitted
by the jury after being out several days. In con.
sequence of this decision, the other murder cases
have been continued by the Court until next term.
Cotton Factories Suspended.
In the City of Allegheny, there are five Cotton
Factories, employing an aggregate of about fifteen
hundred females. Three of these have stopped
altogether, throwing nine hundred females out of
employment; the other two are still running on
half time, but will probably soon stop for a sea
son. Thus from twelve hundred to fifteen hun
dred females will be without their usual means of
securing shelter, food, and raiment, for several
months.

ST. Lours, Nov., 14.—The Leoompton corres
pondent of the Republican says that the Convention
adjourned on the 7th. A provisional government,
'with Gen. Calhoun as Governor, has been formed
to go into operation immediately. The Conven
tion passed-a separate clause motioning slavery,
which is the only section that will be submitted
to the people. [t is thought to be the design to
get 'he Constitution accepted by Congress prior
to the assembling of the Territorial Lpgislature.
Gov. Walker has been appealed to, to convene
an extra session to meet_ the contingency of, the
apportionment of the State. The Cmstitution pro
vides for forty-five Representatives and fifteen
Senators.
ST. Louis, Nov. 16.—Ksnsas advices state that
the Constitution was adopted by the Convention by
a vote of twenty-eight for and about a dozen
against. The whole number of delegates was
sixty, consequently the Constitution was adopted
by a minority of the Convention. The majority
and, minority reports of the Committee on Sched
ule were mtrged into one Schedule which provides
for an election on the 21st of December to ratify
or reject the Constitution, the voting to be by
balbt, and the votes cast to be indorsed " Consti
tution with Slavery," and "Constitution without
Slavery ;" also an election to be held on the first
Monday of January 'next, for the election of State
and Congressional tickets.
Washington,
Waattraurow, Nov. 14.---Et has been,ascertained
that Great Britain has never recognized the juris
diction of Costa Rica over the river San Jaen on'
the Transit route.
All she desires is that Costa Rica, shall have
the rights of navigation for the export of her Pro
duce by river and frontier, to be settled by free
negotiation between the Governments.
None of the grants or contracts made by Costa
Rica; respecting thEi transit route have been sanc
tioned or approved by Great Britain., Lord
Napier has advised the Government of Costa Rica
not to make any grants or concessions pending
the arrival in Central America of Sir William
Oasley, who is expected immediately in Washing
ton..
Nov. 16.—There is but little if any doubt that
the treaty long since proposed between the United
States and Nicaragua was signed to-day, at the
State Department, by Secretary Cass and Minister
Yrissari; The transit route is to be protected by
United States, troops, in the event of Nicaragua
being unable to do so in consequence of foreign
invasions, civil insurrections, or other, domestic
causes, but with the return of peace , the troops
are to be withdrawn.
California.
NEW Totes, Nov. 16.—The steamer M. Louis,
from,Aspinwall, arrived with California mails to
the 20th ult., and $1,170,000 in specie.
Two severe shocks of an earthquake were felt
at San Francisco on the evening of ;the. 19th ult.
The Indians attacked the settlements of Honey
Lake Valley, driving out the inhabitants anti
carrying off all the stock and provisions. An ex
press had arrived at Sacramento, asking aid to'
pursue the marauders.
Business at S4n Francisco was unusually dull
for all kinds of produce. Money was in easy
demand. The reeeipts of gold dust was quite
satisfactory.
The advices from California are generally un
important. The news from the mines is of an
encouraging description. The Vigilance Commit.
tee have revoked the penalties attached to the
sentences of banishment pronounced by them.
An arrival from the plains confirms the state
ment heretofore made, that on the 10th or 12th of
September a train consisting of one hundred per.
sons, were all slain by the Indians, except a few
children who were sold' to the Mormons. It was
generally believed that the Mormons were' at the
bottom of the affair.
An arrival at San Francisco, from China, brings
information that all the European residents at
Ningpo were banished In the 4th of August.

been assaulted and carried by the Europeang.
The assault was commenced on the morning of
Beptember 14, the siege train haVing
.previously
reduced the bastions and curtain,_ against which
its fire was directed, to crumbling ruins. The
attack was made in four , coluMns, of which one,
composed of the. Cashmere Contingent, was re-'
pulsed. The others were successful. An entrance
was effected at the Cashmere gate to the North of
the city, and an advance was made, along ,the
ramparts to the Cabul gate, where an obstinate
but ineffective resistance was made by the Mutt.'
neera. The next day the British commenced firing
on the magazine, and stormed that 'position on
the 16th, capturing with it one hundred and
twenty five pieces of cannon. The official dis
patches end at this point; but intelligence, in
which full reliance was placed, had been received
to the effect that after three more days of fighting
the British troops, on the 20th, took entire .pos
session of the city.
The toss of the British in killed and wounded
is stated at six hundred men, including fifty (AB=
cers. The slaughter among the mutineers is
believed to have been great, but no estimate' is ,
given. A large number escaped out of the city,
among them the King or Delhi and his two BOBS,
disguised in women's clothes. The. English Cav
alry had moved, forward to intercept and diStroy
the fugitives..
In • his order for the assault, General Wilson
stated that no quarter" should be' given to the
mutineers, but that all the. women and. children
should be spared.
Seinde, it was reported, was raising 15,000
men to t e
intercp fugitives.
General ; Outran:es force reached Oawnpore on
the 16th of September, and on the 19th General'
Havelock left that place for the 'relief of the be
leagured garrison of Lucknow. It was confident
ly believed that the garrison would hold out un
til relief arrived, which was expected to be about
the end of September.
At Agra all was quiet. •
Fears were, entertained of a, new outbreak at
Assam. A conspiracy to restore, the ex-Rajah had
been detected.
One hundred and fifty prisoners taken by Gen.
Neill at. Cawnpore, are said to have been liberated
by the Government. It is also said that the Su•
preme Council had sent up to the distUrbed dis
tricts one of its members to control the Generals
in command in the execution of martial law. The
leniency of the Government was `strongly con
demned, both in India and England. •
The intelligence from the Bombay Presidency
is favorable, though a few cases,.of disaffection
had occurred in the army in Scinde. At Key
raohee the 21st Bombay Native Infantry had beet'
disarmed, and about, twenty men of the regiment
had been convicted of a serious plot , to murder all
the Europeans, and executed. `At Hyderabad, in
the same Province, a company of Native Artil
lery had been disarmed.
The whole of the North-East froutier is said to
be in a disturbed state.
Considerable rat:Abram:nuts had arrived at Cal-
..The, ; country bet4en Calcutta and Allahabad
was perfectly quiet.

It is seldom that we are colled,ttpon to chroni
cle the deatb..of a yonng lactY so interesting and
promising as the-subject,of this notice. Born of
pious parents f she was early instructed in the
principles of the Christian religion. Nearly five
years ago .she united with the Church, and
adorned her profession with an
,hunible and
consistent walk and conversation. Rind, affee
thinate, and' agreeable, she Was most beloved by
those who knew her best. Breviousto her death,
a period of twenti years had elapsed since death
visited that happy family circle ; ,and during that
time a fondly of four sisters and two brothers have
grown rip, and side by side witlitheir parents, all •
have sat at,the communion board. But now the
unerring shaft has' been hurled, and one of, their
numbei redeied from the Church militant to the.
Church triuniphant. During the protracted time
of her sickness, she was never heard to murmur
or complain ; but, putting her entire, confidence
in the Redeender, she waited for the summons
with patience and resignation. She'delighted in ,
Conversing with those around her about Christ
and the plan of salvation. A. few daya before her
death 'Ohs said to 'the' writer: "Sometimes ,it
seems to me that I ban see Jesus standing with•
open arms, ready to receive me its soon as my
work is done on earth ; he is •my only, hope.
..
Then I. will meet the near and dear friends who
have
• gone before." And when the' Mud' hour

came, she bade farewell to those about her, and
with'unyielding confidence in the. merits..of,the
Redeemer, she yielded her spirit= to the God of

The'snhject of this notice emigrated, with her
husband, from England in 1841,k and settled Amur
Grandview, 0. In early life she enjoyed some
religious training in. the usages of the Estah-
Relied Church, and these influences were not
wholly loit nionler. the year 1850, Provi
dence opened up away for the organization of a
Presbyterian church in Grandview, and inclined
her to attend upon its ordinances. Tn 1861 she
and' her husband; on profession of their faith,
Were admitted in its `sealing privileges and com
munion. B'.nce that period her life has been ex
eMplary and consistent. About one year since,
she was taken from the active duties of, life, and
gradually sank under the - influence of disease.
Her protracted sickness was borne with patience
and submission, recognizing it as the will of.her
Father, that through , the furnace of afflietion,she
should pass to the Pearly gates onligh, and there
enter upon " that rest that remaineth for the peo
pie of God." "Let us labor, therefore, to enter
into that rest." Let her husband, her children,
her friends; he comforted with the pleasing hope,
that though on earth 'she is not, yet " God hath
taken her." *

Dren 7 ,—Sept. 20th,, at his residence ill &olden
den Township, Allegheny, County, Pa., Mr. DAVID
The' subject of this memoir was born in Chester
County, in the year 1780, and about 1817 he rer
moved, with his family, West of the mountains;
and settled here. While in ,Chester County 14
was the subject ,of awakening grace, and after
settlint here his mind was much exercised on the
subject of religion. Ile thought of joining him
self to God's people ; but, befoiT he took this
step, he thought proper to examine the doctrines
and usages tf the several churches in his reach;
and while'engaged in thiework he went to a camp
meeting, Where he hear : into ler. Darat inzaet
the truth in such power as stirred up his soul
within him. Being a seeker after truth, he found
and received it, though it deeply convicted him.
lie sought the Lord all alone ; and while seeking
him in his own house, about midnight, it pleased
the Lord to make bare his arm, and roll off his
burden of guilt, scatter his darkness, and give
him peace and joy Divine. Now he felt, "being
justified by faith," he "had peace with God,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord."
His subsequent faithfulness and steadfastness
are evidences that the work was genuine and of
the Lord. How long before he united with the
Church—there being no Methodist society near
him—l know not. His name appears in a class
organised in the year 1826, by Rev. C. Thorn.
The same year he took charge of the class, num
beting thirteen members, and was made circuit
steward. In 1829 he took charge of a second
class, numbering twenty-two members. In 1831
he took charge of a third class, numbering forty
two members. These three classes he led from
January 7, 1831, till July, 1832. About twenty
five years past he has served in the office of re
cording steward, and for the space of three or
four years his books show him to have served two
circuits at once. In this office he was efficient
and very faithful; so was he as .a leader. He
loved the cause of God and the people of God, in
evidenc,e of which he opened his house as a place
of worship; and in 1851 he erected a beautiful
church, forty by thirty-feet, at his own expense.
He was faithful to the end. He was at his post
in the. quarterly conference for Fiuleyville
air
edit, ,held September 19th and 20th. I 'need
scarcely add,.his house. for many years has been
a resting place and a home for the weary, home
less itinerant;.for the many who have shared his
ho4pitality know this.
His illness was of short, duration. He com
plained neither - of sickness nor pain. When
asked by the writer, the evening before his 'de
,
parture, how he felt in view of the probable ap
proach of death, stating to him that as.an aged
man he could not live long, and as.a sick man he
might' die soon, he replied; " I have no solicitude
about that matter; my mind is fixed--while
live I will serve the. Lord; and if I die, all is
well."'
On last Sabbath, the 18th inst., a large eon
.
course of people were assembled it the' church,

" Mr. Grayson" and -Mr. Rogers are one and. the, same

this delightful melange. It abounds in the keenest wit and
humor, satire and logic. It .fairly entitles Mr—Rogers to
rank with Sydney Smith and Charles Lamb as a wit and
humorist, and with Bishop Butler as a reasoner.
' "The style is often playful, familiar, and conversational;
and again naturally rises to the height of the grave and se
rious arguments which arise from time to time. We cau
conscientiously commend it as a truly good book. contain

his Eclipse of Faith, and his Essays, won for him a place beside
Bishop Butler as a reeeoner,and Mill ass logician, he also die
closes a faculty of, wit and humor, which give to his letters
