The 31;ii. , ri- elourch is on an island, but
in„ t . , rolvir - , pt viol of our city. It has
el•art,r,rd pa-t 'TS so often that the strength
ruin pr rperity of the church could not he
expected to•he reo. No sooner has a paq

or ; if he Ins heen popular and useful, some
fTinVO "1•7111ity place of Zion," or more
wealthy parbli has enticA him away. My
ow' r'ews of these removals have never bar
n mized with the general proceedings of
the churches nod pastors. I believe it would
b- a preferable course, to adopt, at once, the
l'iiverant plan of the illeddisfs, and let
both pastor and people know that they were
to have a change of pastors, or ministers,
rrery two ye irs.. 1 his course adopted would
save the pastor the trouble of casting around
for a new field, the people the necessity of
witt4ng up strife to get rid of him, and other
Puri , l'es, the trouble of giving him "a call."
An old lawyer, in Connecticut, "the land of
steady habits," used to say, "be would as
soon warty n woman who had been divorced
from her first hatband, as vote to settle a
minister who had left his first parish." This
may have been the other extreme. But, in
the present frequent removals of pastors,
those "extremes meet."
The Phillips' church, at South Boston, has
;. 3 r many years been in an unsettled state.
wince the time of their trouble with the Rev.
T H. Fairchild, some fifteen or twenty years
sgo, they have ()hanged pastors about every
two or three years. They are now destitute
• gain, by the removal of the Rev. Mr. Por
ter, who has taken about one half of ttte
church with him and formed a new parish,
iu the same part of our city. Whether Mr.
P. was in fault or not, as soon as it was in
timated to him that things were not goin g
right, he betook himself away and his friends
with him
A natural reflection, from this unsettled
state of things, is—would not your form of
church polity be preferable to ours? I do
not say that it certainly would be; but, 80
far es I have seen its working, I am half
inclined to believe it would• At all events,
I have never sympathized with the contest
between the Congregationalists and the Pres
byterians about church government.
We have a new Unitarian Society recent
ly formed at the South end of our city.
The Rev. Orville Dewey has accepted a
call to the old church in Summer Street,
made vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr.
Young, some three years since.
Rev. Dr. Blagden has not yet returned
from his foreign tour.
Rev. C. G. Finney is expected to com
mence a course of revival preaching here
about the first of December. Park Street
church will be the chief scene of his action.
The new Quarterly Review, talked of some
time since, has not yet made its appearance,
and some have doubts whether it will be
sustained, if it does.
Our financial matters have been so de
pressed that but little book-publishing has
heen done in our city latterly; but, it is
thought that money matters are growing a
little better, and the prospect for brighter
tines is fairer. Some of the heaviest and
most substantial firms have failed.
Very truly yours, &c.,
Western Correspondence,
Dr McKtriNEy:—Ymir readers will re
member, that in my letter in your issue of
November 21. st, I gave some statistics .to
exhibit the growth of our Church in the
States bordering on the Mississippi, now
termed the North West, and the fact appeared
that if a general Convention of representa
tives from all the churches, together withal!
our ministers in the States of Missouri,
lowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, and the Terri.
tories of Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota
c ,vild he assembled, it would number not lees
than seven hundred and fifty.
It is my design, in this letter, to commence
a sort of historical sketch of different Pris•
byteries in these States, and continue the
palsentation as fast as I can receive reliable
information from different parts of the field.
I commence with the PRESBYTERY OF
PALESTINE This Presbytery occupies that
portion of Illinois lying along the Western
boundary/of Indiana, and extends North to
Iroquois County, Smith nearly to the Ohio,
and West nearly to the centre of the State.
Ir includes some of the most fertile portion
of the State, and has the advantage of a
direct railroad communication with. Chicago
and St. Louis. This Presbytery, although
within the territorial limits of Illinois, is
connected with the Synod of Indiana. Ao.
thin however was taken this Fall, which will
no doubt result in its connexion with the
Synod of Illinois, to which, by its geographl
cal position, it of right belongs. Phe fol
lowieg received from a prominent member
of Presbytery, will inform your readers of
nrurry reattersof interest relating to this body.
The brother says :
" In 1853 we bad but six members of
Presbytery, now we have fifteen. Up to
about that time only one church had given
a salary over 8300 to its minister; now nine
or ten of thorn get from their people from
$-100 to $BOO a year, so that their salaries--
seam ui them receiving aid from the Board
—range from $5OO to 8800. In the present
state of things, these salaries are a mere liv
ing, net en:11)111)g any one to lay up for the
future ; in sortie cases not meeting the actual
wants of their families; but being an im
mense advance cm former years, enabling the
brethren to give thronselves to the work of
the ministry reeve wholly. In church edifices
too, since 3853, decidc d advances have been
made arming us. - Besides one house already
ie use for more than u year, costing 88,000
$9,000, five or six others are now in course
of erection, estimated to cost from $lO,OOO
down to less than 82,000. In many othr r
places we bred houses of worship whera
there is no prospect that they will soon be
built
For bit nine years past our Pre , hytury
has been atrtuclud to the Synod of Innitin , l
Thv I.:in met: t;pf, it was resolved to ask
tlm ii; cro n. Ass t •Jbly to at ti us back to the
S)1001 t f Illinois, which has now. only thr,.e
Presty . ,trri,,, slid needs Ftrengthening. As
to our c, tivr nience it will be as well secured
by the contemn! , teci arrangement, as by that

will nut trouble you now with any deliver.
nnce of mine, as to the ce.urse thines took.
Evidently as yet, all has not been told. It
did not seem to use that the oft-repeated and
violent, attacks Tl:ade upon the personal char
acter of Dr. Rice, however effective they
may have been in inereesing the majority,
had very much to do with the merits of the
question. The bearing seemed to be, if the
Seminary is placed under the care of the
Assembly, then Dr. Rice will be put in a
chair; may be the one he meat desires; and
others more approved by the Synod, left out.
One or two expressed themselves in private,
as preferring to see the whole Seminary
matter fail rather than to see it pass into the
hands of the Assembly with Dr. Rice for a
' Professor. My own fear is that the practical
tendency of the Synod's action is clearly in
this direction, and that opposition to Dr.
Bice, and unwillingness to trust the Assem
bly may so divide the counsels, and weaken
and embarrass the efforts of the North West
as to jeopardize the whole plan for the pres
ent, and work a forfeiture of the donations
pledged in and around Chicago.
"Having a little space left, I will aim to
give you my personal views. I was entirely
in favor of the action adopting Dr Mac?vlas
ters' views of slavery, as the true interpre
tation of the acts of our General Assembly
on that subject; also, I was at Synod, and
still am, in favor of Dr. Mac Master as Pro
fessor of Didactic Theology in our Seminary.
But with these views I was and am willing
to trust the whole matter to the Church at
large, in General Assembly convened, ao
quieseing in its arrangements in order .to
have a Seminary in the North West."
I present your readers with this somewhat
lengthy extract from this brother's letter,
inasmuch as it is characterised with candor
and fairness, and exhibits the truth that a
person may be entirely friendly to the present
Professors of the Seminary, and yet be de
sirous of placing the Institution under the
entire control of the Assembly; a truth which
some letter writers seem of late disposed to
question.
I do not feel disposed to notice Dr. Mon
fort's ungentlemanly personal attack, made
upon me in the Presbyterian of the West,
of the 12th inst., further than to say that
his allegations as to my "anxiety to ride over
the majority," &e., are wholly without foun-:
dation. I have sought to make my state
ments io my correspondence accord with
truth, and comport with my Christian pro
fession. If I make mistakes, I will make
corrections when they are shown me; but I
do and shall regard all such attacks as those
of Dr. Monfort, as entirely beneath my no
tice.
The time-honored custom of observing a
day of thanksgiving in the month of No
vember is not neglected, I am glad to see,
in our North-Western States. In observing
this day it seems to me that one of the first
things for which we should , be grateful, is
the fact that the great truths of the Bible
have such an influence in the land, that our
rulers dare not, even if they felt disposed,
refuse to assign a day for the discharge of
a duty so reasonable. Few, lam happy to
believe, are disposed to neglect so reasonable
a recommendation. While Christians com
ply with the suggestions of the Executive
of their respective States, and return thanks
giving and praise to Almighty God for his
temporal blessings, let them not forget those
of. a higher and more enduring character,
without which, all,earthly prosperity would
be a double curse.
The papers of Chicago record several dis
asters upon Lake Michigan, during the gale
upon Wednesday night, November 11th.
Some six or eight vessels are reported as
ashore different points upon the Lake with
their cargoes of grain, fish, lumber,
&,e &c.,
a partial or total loss. Some sailors have
been badly frozen, and some are reported as
dead. Let Christians remember in their
prayers, at this inclement season of the year,
"those who go down into the sea in ships."
Yours, &c., NORTH-WEST.

The following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously passed, at the regular meeting of
the Young dvien's Christian Association of Alle
gheny, held in their rooms, Tuesday evening, No
vember 24th:
Wilt:miss, it has pleased an all-wise Providence
to remove, by death, two of the members of this ..
Association, since our last meeting, Messrs. James
Hughes and Hance Dean; therefore,
Resolved, That, while we deeply sympathize
with the bereaved relations of the deceased, we
no less deeply regret the loss to this Association,
of two of its active members.
Resolved, That while we bow in meek submis
sion to the will of an inscrutable Providence, it
behooves as all, by the early removal of these,
onr brethren, from our midst, to be ever ready
and prepared, when the niessetqer shall call us
hence.
Resolved, That a copy of the above resolutions
he transmitted to the relatives of the deceased,
and to the religious papers for publication.
Nackivaw City
This is yet rather a city on paper, than a city,
of brick and atone. It is splendid in its projec

Its location, on the Straits of Mackinaw, is pe

panying the drawing, speaks glowingly of its ad

Railroad Difficulty.
The cars on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, and
Chicago road, were delayed most of the day, on
Saturday, owing to dissatisfaction among the em
ployees. The road is scarce of funds, and pay
ments for labor have been deficient, since July.
The immediate cause of excitement wes a reduc
tion in the rates of wages. Matters were, how
ever, satisfactorily arranged, and the P. M., train
left at the usual hour.
California.
NEW YORK, Nov, 29.—The steamer' Northern
Light with the California mails,-and $1,075,000 in
treasure, arrived unannounced ahout six o'clock
this evening. She brings six hundred passengers.
The Northern Light brings evidence of the inns
same of one hundred and eighteen emigrants to
California in Southern Utah, which appears to be
conclusive against the Mormons. It produced
great excitement against the Mormons.
Samuel Brannon, of Sam Francisco, has deeded
hind two miles square near Sacramento with other
property to three trustees as security for moneys
deposited in his new bark.
Alsop & Co., are entrusted with the funds to
pay the interest on the San Francisco school
bonds at New York.
The Panama papers contain the official pools
oration of Martinez, General in Chief of Nicarau
gna, dated October 22d, declaring war against
Costa Rica. The General declares that Nicaragua
will preserve the whole line of the transit route,
from ocean to ocean, and also the district of
Quanacasta, Costa Rica.
General Canty has made a formal demand for
the surrender of. Fort San Carlos. Canty, it is
reported, while on the lake in a steamer, ball been
fired upon by Nicaraguan troops.
Washington.
Nov. 27.—Gov. Walker openly declared him
self opposed to the action of the Leoompton Con
vention. He says that the only proper course is
to submit the whole Constitution to the people.
He had an interview with the President to-day
upon the subject. Mr. Buchanan, as at present
advised, is inclined to sustain the Convention.
The Cabinet unanimously unite with the Presi
dent against the position of Governor Walker,
and in favor of sustaining the action of the Kan
sas Constitutional Convention. This, it is consid
ered, effectually closes the door to a reconciliation
with Walker's position. Contrary to the expecta
tion of the President, it has transpired that Sen
ator Douglas will tyke bold, ground in support of
Walker. He holds that the rufusal to submit the
Constitutioit to the people, entire, when they de
sire it, is the clearest repudiation of the principle
of popular sovereignty, and, as the author of the
Kansas-Nebraska Act, he cannot countenance any
such action.

days with a most distressing attack of Diarrhea,
I purchased a bottle of Bcerhave's Holland Bit

Worth Knowing
Prof. Wood, whose advertisement will be round
in another column, has iliseovered a rtmedy for
the gray and bald, which is at once practicable
and cheap. It requires no dyeing, no wig, nor
extraordinary trouble. There can be no doubt
whatever of its efficacy. We have seen testi
monials almost without number, and from men
of great intelligence, high standing, and moral
worth.
Those who have been bald for years are now
wearing their own hair, and appear ten years
younger than they did six months ago. As in
most cases gray hairs and bald heads are both
premature and unnatural, it is a duty to remedy
them by the natural and undoubted means which
Prof. Wood bas invented, and now kindly offers
to the afflicted. Read his advertisement, try his
wonderful remedy, and give the Professor a new
testimonial.—Memphis

By the Vanderbilt, Africa, and Fulton, arrived
within a few days, we have European news to the
18th of Noc ember.
These steamers all bring specie from England;
but there is quite as much going hence by those
which return, so that the only accumulation
in our country is the produce of the California
mines.
The money market in England continued to re
cover. The suspension, by government., of the
article in the charter of the Bank, by which it
was prohibited from issuing notes beyond its
specie basis, gave instantaneous relief. The Bank
at once increased its discounts to the mercantile
community, greatly to the relief of the pressure,
and causing the subsidence of the panic. Still,
however, there were many and heavy failures oc
curring.
Breadstuffs, provisions, and cotton were still en
the declining scale of prices.
MfLITARY Powart or ENGLAND.—The• English,
with the Scotch and Irish, are IL wonderful peo
ple. They seem to be adequate, by land as well
as by sea, to any emergency; only allow them a
little time. They are not always ready. They
suffer a little at new outbreaks, but they soon re
cover.
At the late public Dinner given by the Mayor
of London, Lord Palmerston said :
" I am proud to say, that although we have dis
patched from these shores the largest army that
believe ever at one time left them, we have now
under arms in the United Kingdom as many fight
ing men as we had before the news of the mutiny
reached us; and therefore, if any foreign nation
over dreamed in its visions that the exertions
which we bad been compelled to make in India
bad lessened our strength at home, and that the
time bad arrived when a different bearing might
he exhibited toward us from that which was safe
in the moment of our strength, the manner in
which the spirit of the country bus burst forth,
the manner in which our ranks have been filled,
the manner in which, our whole force has been re
plenished, will teach the world that it would not
be a safe game to play to attempt to take advan
tage of that which was erroneously imagined to
be the moment of our weakness."
SHIA WILT. PUNISIT AND SPARR.—Lord Palmers-
ton, in the same spe,e thus tiPelart.il the purhoPe
of government in reference to the East India ,01-
ministration.
"To punish the guilty reie,nately e•xuerds the
power of any man: for the atrot;i; , e ,,
which have been committed :rro. such as to he ioi
, ngined and perpetrsiel only by demons sallying
forth from the lowest depths of hell. But pun
ishment must be intlicted—not only in a spirit of
vengeance, but in a spirit of security, in order
that the exampi. of punished crime may deter
from a repetition of the offence, and in order to
insure the safety of our countrymen and country
women in India for the future. To spare the in
nocent will be a duty, and it is most gratifying
to know that while the guilty may be counted by
thousands, the innocent must be reckoned by
millions. It is most gratifying to us and honor
able to the people that the great hulk of the
population have had no share in the enormities
and crimes which have been committed. They
have experienced the blessings of British rule,
and they have been enabled to compare it with
the tyrrany exercised over them by their native
chiefs. They have had therefore no participation
in the attempts which have been made to over
throw our dominion."
THE ENDOWMENT SCHEME' OF THE SOWER ESTAB-.
LIMED thinaca.—The Rev. Dr. Robertson, Mod
erator of the last Established Assembly, stated
that the whole sum of .£517,000 necessary to the
erection of one hundred and fifty new parishes,
upwards of .£300,000 has been already subscribed.
The principal contributors to the scheme are
the Episcopalian proprietors.
MNISTING OP PARLIAMENT.—It has been resolved
to call Parliament together at once, in order to
settle the questions ra&sed•by the present crisis,
and to register for Ministers and the Bank Direc
tors that indemnity for,which they are obliged to
appeal. Probably, Parliament will be summoned
to meet at the end of fourteen days.

The financial crisis was not yet past, but great
efforts were being made to relieve businese and
moderate the panic. The Bank had raised the
interest to eight, nine and ten per cent,' according
to time, and, at these rates, was discounting
freely, though its stock of specie was reduced very
low.
To an expedient suggested by the Minister of
the Interior, the Emperor replied:
"I see with pain that without apparent or real
cause public credit bas been shaken by chimerical
fears, and by the propagation of so-called reme
dies for an evil which exists only in imagination.
. . . I pray you, therefore, clearly to contradict
all the absurd projects attributed to the govern
ment, the propagation of which so easily creates
alarm. It is not without a degree of pride that we
can affirm that France is, of all the countries in
Europe, the one in which the public credit rests
upon the broadest and most solid basis. Give heart
to those who are vainly terrified, and assure them
that I am thoroughly decided not to employ those
empirical means to which recourse is had only in
cases happily so rare, in which catastrophes above
human foresight fall upon the nation."
The eleotric telegraph has now finally connected
Algeria with France. In six hours an answer to
a question oan be received in Marseilles from
Algeirs, through Bonn, Cagliari, Turin and Spez
zia. No very long time ago, from fifteen to twenty
days were necessary to the same result.
The decree which prohibited the exportation
of grain and flour has been revoked ; also, that
which forbade the distillation of farinaceous ar
ticles.

Russia.
The steamer Koube was driven on si reef, in the
Caspian Sea, and lost. Four officers and eighteen
men perished.
The financial crisis had been severely felt in
St. Petersburgh. Silver coin was excessively
scarce, and the price of every thing but meat was
extortionate. a
The Czar's visit to Poland had been officially

DIED—In Clearfield, Pa., on the Bth of Octo
ber, Mr. H. B. SMITII, aged 48 years.
Mr. S. was born in Franklin, Susquehanna Co.,
Pa., but had been a resident of Binghampton, N.
Y., for a length of time previous to his removal
to this place, twelve years ago. For twenty
seven years his name was enrolled in the Church
as a follower of Christ, and Auring the last four
years he served the Presbyterian congregation in
Clearfield, as a Ruling Elder, and for a length of
time was an efficient Superintendent of the Sab
bath School. As a citizen, Mr. B. was highly
esteemed; as a member and officer in the Church,
he was exemplary, judicious and faithful; as a
husband and parent, he was most affectionate and
tender, and received, in a corresponding degree,
the love and confidence of his wedded companion,
and five daughters, who now mourn their irre
parable loss. But let them be followers of him
whose loss they mourn, as he was a follower of
Christ, and their end will be peaceful. The Sa
viour was precioin to him, as the hope of his sal
vation. He frequently expressed his confidence
in Christ, and declared that he trusted in .his
righteousness for justification, and that he had
nothiug else in which he could trust. Thus,
leaning upon the Saviour, he passed the valley
and shadow of death, and entered, as we trust,
the home of the blest.

her of the Preshylerian church of Pleasant Val
loy, and adorned her profession by a godly walk
and conversation. She bld long anticipated
death. Seuce, when be arrived, she was pro
per, dto mint him undismayed. She expressed
great anxiety for the salvation of her dear
:friends, and admonished them to make prepara
tions to meet her in that heaven to which she was
fast hastening. She has left dear friends to
mourn her loss ; but we hope that what is their
loss is her exceeding great gain.
'T is finished, the conflict is past,
The heaven-born spirit is fled ;
Her wish is accomplished at last,
And now she's entombed with the dead.

Dlen—At the residence r.f his father, near
Kirkville, Wapello County, lowa, on Thursday,
October 29th, Dr. THOS. Mon M'Cum.ouon, in
the 29th year of his age.
The subject of this notice was born in Itos
traver Township, Westmoreland County, Pa.,
where he resided until he removed, with his
father's family, to this place, about seven years
ago. He was a young man of much promise, and
although just starting out in life, had already ob
tained a high reputation by the morality of his
principles and his exemplary conduct. On ao
count of the state of his health, he was unable to
devote much of his time to the medical profes
sion, but during what time he did, was eminently
successful, and bid fair to become an ornament to
his profession, and a useful man. But God has
seen fit to call him hence, and we bow in hamble
submission, trusting that-for him to die was gain.
Thomas had never formally united himself with
the people of God; but being early educated in
the doctrines and principles of the Presbyterian
Church, he was stAtngly attached to thelai and
regretted very much, while on a dying be a d,; thi4
he had not paid more attention to the subject of
religion, and frequently exhorted his friends, and
all around him who were out of Christ, to attend
to this all-important subject, and prepare to meet
him in glory. Re gave comfortable evidence, to
his friends and to the writer, who frequently con
versed with him, that he was prepared to meet
his God in peace. Again we are solemnly re
minded of the importance of seeking "first the
kingdom of God and his righteousness," that we
may be prepared to meet the messenger of death
calmly, whenever be etUnes. May this dispensa
tion of Providence be sanctified to his friends,
and his dying request never forgotten by his
brothers and sisters, and may we all hear a voice
from his early grave, impressively saying, " Be
ye also ready." J.M.C.

VOUS GIBE 4.SES, &o.—WM. M. CORNELL, A. M.,
ISt D., Permanent Member of toe American Medical An. o
elation; Fellow of the Massachusetts Medical Society ;
Member of the N. E. H. G. Society. and of the B S. N. H.,
has given special attention, since ISIS, to the treatment
and mire of the above named disemes; daring which period
more than five hundred cases have been treated; over one
hundred of which have fully recovered, and many of the
ethers have been signally benefitted. All kinds of nervous
diseases are treated, and they are numerous. His office is
at No. 630 Washington Street, Boston, Maas.
A pamphlet will be sent to any who may wish for further
informatiou upon his plan of treatment, upon receiving
fifty cents, in postage stamps. He makes no promise of
curing every case; but the following is given as having
remained permanently well for nearly ten years, and the
gentleman can be consulted by letter, as below:—
“ I feel constrained by a senile of gratitude. and also by a
desire to benefit others, who may be similarly afabted, to
acknowledge, through your columns, the relief I have
gained by the use of a medicine prepared by Dr. Wm. M.
Cornell, of .Boston, No. 530 Washington Street. For about
seventeen years I have been subject to -violent attacks of
convulsions. ney occurred at intervals, varying from two
to seven weeks—the fits succeeding each other, sometimes
to the number of seven or eight. During that time, I have
been 'ender the treatment of several eminent physicians in
Boston and vicinity, sometimes following the directions of
one for a year without relief. I have applied to the McLean
Hosoital, tested tho efficacy of Thom psoulani s m for thirteen
weeks. the llomceopathic system fur two months and, so
desirable was health, that I even resorted to Mesmerism to
disclose the cause of the difficulty and prescribe the remedy,
but still my fits continued.
Hearing of Dr. Cornell's:success in similar cases,l called
on him in September last, 'lnce which time I have taken
his medicine and carefully followed his directions, with the
exception of a single occasion. On the 6th of January
last, being absent from home, I neglected to take the methb
rine; and. owing to that circumstance, together with ex•
poecire, and some degree of excitement, I had one slight
attack. From that time, I have enjoyed unusual health,
and have since had no symptoms of the complaint that has
'probably caused me more suffering than would be cape.

Medicine can he sent to any part of the United States,

" We hew) more than once alluded to Dr. Cornell's success
in his specialities of practice. For both consumptive and
epileptic patients he has made special study, and in his
treatment of both has bad much success. We have per

We might quote from others of the numerous

most skeptical that we have at least the best
preparations in the world for the hair of young

We also would call attention to the fact that
we have always avoided all ebarlatantism. Our
preparations are the highest prleed, but the
cheapest, because it lasts longer, and does more
good ; the expense, in the end, lees than others.
