Resolved, That we honor this beloved and ven erated servant of the Lord, for his fidelity to the truth, and for the noble sacrifice of worldly ease, emolument and distinction to which that fidelity has subjected him, and which he bus borne with such Christian courage and , magnanimity, out of love to the Dkvnra REDEEMER and his .011119 e. Resolved, That we have heard with lively inter est the statements of Dr. Mimed, in regard to the religious condition of France, and particularly touching the important and promising enterprise under his personal charge in the city of Paris.

Resolved, That we approve of Dr. Monod's visit to the United States, for the purpose of securing the additional $30,000 required for the ereotion of the proposed edifice ; that we are of the opinion that the Evangelical churches of America ought to respond to this call promptly and favor ably; and that we cheerfully open our pulpits to Dr. Monod, and heartily commend him, his con gregation, and his object to the prayers, the sympathies, and the Christian liberality of our Christian people.

M'lmvArsn,, AGAINST THE REFUSAL TO ADMIT THE DI RECTORS APPOINTED BY THE SYNOD OF MISSOURI FOR THE. SEMINARY OF THE NORTH-WEST. HORIOON, WIS., Nov. 80th, 1857. REV. DR. McKINNEY :—Dear Sir :—ln your account in last week's paper, of the re cent meeting of the Directors of the The ological Seminary of the North-West, I think you hardly do justice to the position of the minority on the question of the ad mission of Missouri. ' The whole argument, I think, is fairly stated in our Protest, a copy of which I send you. By publishing it in your paper, you will place us in our true position be fore the Church, on this vexed question, put on record a correct history, of a trans action which must seriously affect, the in terests of our Church in this region, and very much oblige some of your friends. • . -H. M. ROBERTSON. • PROTEST. We, the undersigned, feel constrained respect fully to enter our solemn Protest against the vote by which the Board refused. to admit the Dele gates of the Synod of Missouri to their seats, - for the following reasons : 1. That Synod has the right to be represented in this Board, because, it has ,complied with the constiututional requirements, and two-thirds of the governing Synods have consented-to its ad mission. It is not denied that the Spied. has adopted the constitution, and appointed Directors in accordance with the constitution: Respecting the salon of four of the Synods, there is no dis pute. The Synod of Cincinnati resolved, " That when ever the Synods of Missouri, Upper Missouri, and Southern lola, shall apply for admission , into the union . of Synods, they shall be admitted according to the provisions of the constitution—Art. IL, Seo. 2." Andin reply to :the protest of the minority,- the Synod further say: " The Synod have ex:. pressed this readiness to receive the Synod of Missouri under our constitutional provision." This language, if it means• anything,. expresses the consent of the Synod of Cincinnati to the ad mission of the Synod of- Missouri; and since four other Synods have given their consent, there can be no question respecting its right to be represent ed here. There is nothing in the constitution, requiring a Synod to make application for admis sion directly to the governing Synods, after they. have once expressed their readiness to admit it; for the expression of such. willingneds is giving their consent, which is all the constitution requires. It is too evident to require proof, that such con sent may be given in anticipation of the applica tion of a Synod, just as well as after application has been made. We are fully persuaded, there.' fore, that the interpretation put upon the consti tution, by the Board, is forced and unsound. This is further evident, because this construction renders it 'impossible for any Synod to gain ad-: &lesion under one or two years, unless the time of its meeting precede the times of meeting of the governing Synods. If it be desirable that a Synod be admitted at all, it is desirable that it be admitted without such tedious delay ; and it can not have been the intention of the governing Synods adopting the constitution, without any possible reason, to debar, for one or two years, a Synod whose co-operation they may desire. 2. We protest, because the Synod of Southern lowa appeared before the Board precisely on the same ground as the Synod of Missouri; and yet it was received,,while the Synod of Missouri was rejected. The action of four of the Synods was confessedly the same respecting both these Synods; and the resolution adopted by the Synod of Cincinnati, embraced, in precisely the same language, the Synods of Missouri,. Upper Missouri, and Southern lowa. That resolution we have quoted above. The only difference ;in the lan guage of this Synod, is in their answer to the pro test of the minority. , . Respecting the Synod of Southern lowa, the language is as follows: " The Synod of Southern lowa is welcome to the Union; according to the provisions of the constitution." The language respecting the Synod of Missouri, is as follows : " The 'Synod have expressed their readiness to receive, the Synod of Misiouri, under oar coned tutional provision." r The phrase, "readiness to re ceive under constitutional provision," as truly, ex- For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate Protest, THE PRESBYTERIAN' - BANNER AND ADVOCATE. presses consent, as the phrase, " welcome to the union of Synods under constitutional provision." And if the constitution requires the Synod of Missouri to apply directly to the Synods after they have expressed their readiness to receive it, the constitution requires the same of the Synod of Southern lowa. Yet the latter was received, and the former rejected. This opposite treat ment of two Synods, whose claims were identical, we cannot but regard ns invidious, unjust, and of most unhappy tendency, as to the interests of the Seminary and the Church. It cannot be said by the majority of the Board, that the Synod of Southern lowa was received be cause of its having been a component part of the Synod of lowa ; because not one of the Synods has proposed to admit it on this ground, and because the Synod of Cincinnati, in their resolution, ex pressly put it on the same footing with the Synods of Missouri and Upper Missouri, "to be admitted according to the provisions of the constitution— Art. 11., Sec. 2." 3. We protest., because the peculiar relation which the Synod of Missouri has sustained, and still sustains to this Institution, gives great weight to its claims, and requires the most liberal con struction of the constitution in order to its admis sion ; whereas the more liberal construction was given in favor of a Synod having no such claims. That Synod was united with the Synods in the control of the Seminary, has recommended its agents, and contributed to its funds. It has more than once expressly refused to abandon its claims In its late action appointing Directors, it, states expressly that it never has abandoned them. It is evident, therefore, that in the removal of the Semitiary, and the adoption of a new constitution, without its knowledge or consent, it was treated discourteously and unjustly. We cannot but re gard the action of the Board, in still depriving this Synod of its rights, when two-thirds of the Synods have signified their consent to its adults ' sion, just as in the ease of the Synod of Southern lowa, as a grievous wrong, from which nothing but evil can,result: 4. We protest, because this action,, under all the,oircurastanoes, be _ regarded as conclusive proof of a design to make the Seminary a sec tional Institution • 'and . this impression, already extensively prevalent, tends to alienation of feel ing amongst brethren, and the destruction of the peace and unity of the Church. Nothing short of absolute necessity, can, jn our opinion, justify Such action, especially in this day of agitation arid division in Churches. 5. We protest, because, whatever may have been the design of those voting to exclude the Synod of Missouri, the action has the effect of making the Seminary a sectional institution, and in a way adapted-to do great injury.' We are fully persuaded, therefore, , that, the exclusion of the Synod of Missouri, will render it absolutely im possible to secure harmonious co-operation, and will thus defeat the enterprise. If the constitu tion requires such action, is most unhappily drawn, and ought to be changed before we proceed further: Hit clod not, the action will prove' the more deeply injurious. 6. The resolution afterwards adopted, recom mending the Synods to receive the Synod of Mis souri upon her present application, does not, in our View, relieve the difficulty. For that Synod is this deprived of its rights for one year longer. Besides; the Board has heretofore recommended the Synods to receive the Synod of Missouri, and yet, when the Synods have signified their consent, and the Synod has appeared before us, it has been rejected. Still further, we cannot but regard it as ;a significant fact, that the only difficulty in re ceiving this Synod, has arisen wholly from the character of the action of the Synods represented by those brethren who virtually excluded the Synod of Missouri at the commencement of the enterprise. We are, grievedlo know, that after uniting with the members of the Board in recom mending the reception of the Synod of Missouri, they co-operated in securing an action which, on their interpretation of it, excludes that Synod for another year, if not forever. 'This state of facts is the. more injurious in its effects, because oar Professors elect have stood so related to these brethren, as that 'prejudices against them must be strengthened. For these reasons, we feel constrained to record our earnest and solemn Protest against this pro ceeding. (Signed.) H. M. ROBERTSON, J. M. BUCHANAN, • RUBEN SMITH, JaPTHA HARRISON, W. T. ADAMS, C. A.

My men were exceedingly delighted with the cordial reception we met with every.: where ; but a source of annoyance was found where it was not expected. Many of their wives had married other men during our two years' absence. Mashauana's wife, •who` bad borne him two children, was among the number. He , wished to appear note to feel it much, saying, " Why, wives are as plen tiful as grass, and I can get another; she may go." But he would add, "If I had that fellow, I would/open his ears for him." As most of them had more wives than one, I tried to console them, by saying that they had still more than I had,• and that they had enough, yet; but they felt the reflection to be'galling, that while they were toiling, an other had been devouring their corn. Some of their wives came with very young infants in their arms. This excited no discontent ; and for some I had to speak to the chief, to order the men, who had married the only wives some of my companions ever had, to restore them. AN AFRICAN JUNGLE. By climbing the highest trees, we could see a fine large sheet of water, butsurround ed on all sides by the same impenetrable belt of reeds. This is the broad part of the river Chobe, and is called Zabesa. Two tree•covered islands seemed to be much nearer to the water than the shore on which we were ; so we made an attempt to get to them first. It was not the reeds alone we had to pass through; a peculiar serrated grass, which:at certain angles cut the hands like a razor,fwa.s mingled with, the reed, and the climbing eonvolvulus, with stalks which felt as strong as whip-cord, bound the mass together. We felt like pigmies in it, and often the only way we could get on was by, both of us leaning against a part and bend ing it down till we could stand upon it. The perspiration streamed off our bodies, and as the sun rose high, there being no ventilation among the reeds, the heat was Stifling, and the, water, which was up to the knees, felt agreeably refreshing. After some hours' toil, we reached one of the islands.' Here we met an old friend, the bramble bush. My strong moleskins were quite worn through.at the knees, and the leather trou sers of my companion , were torn, and his legs bleeding. ,Tearing my handkerchief in two, I tied the pieces round my knees, and then encountered another difficulty. We were still forty or fifty yards from the clear water, but now we Were, opposed by great masses of papyrus, which are like palms in miniature, eight or ten feet high, and an , inch and a half in diameter. These were laced together by twining convolvulus, so strongly that the weight of both of us could not make way into the clear water. At last we fortunately found a passage prepared by a hippopotamus. Eager, as soon as we reached the island, to look along the vista to clear water, I stepped in and found it took me at once up to the neck. AN AFRICAN TRIBE. The Bechuanas axe universally much at tached to children. A little child toddling near a party of men while they are eating, is sure to get a handful of the food.. This love of children may arise, in a great meas ure, from the patriarchal system under which they dwell Every, little stranger forms an increase of property to the whole community, and is duly reported to the chief—boys being more welcome than girls. The parents take the riatda of the child, and often address their children as Ma (mother,) or Ra (father). Our eldest boy being named Robert, Mrs. Livingstone was, after his birth, always addressed as Ma Robert, instead of Mary, her Christian name. I have examined several cases in which a grandmother has taken upon herself to suckle, a grandchild.' Masina of Comman had no children after the oirth of her daugh ter Sins, and , had no milk , after Sina, was weaned, an event which , usually is deferred till the child two or three years old. Sins married when she. was seventeen-or eighteen, and had. twins ; Cldasina, after at least fifteen years' interval since she last suckled a child, took possession of one of them, applied it to her breast, and milk flowed; so that she was able to nurse the child entirely. Magda was 'at this time at' least forty years of age: " ° I have witnessed several other eases i.nalogous to this. A grandmother of l'orty,' or even less, for they become withered at an early age, when left at home with a Young child, "applies it to her own shrivelled breast, and milk soon follows In some cases, as that of IVlaliogo sing, the chief wile of Mahure, who was about thirty.five years of tioe the child was ia not entirely dependent on the grandmoth er's breast, as the mother suckled it too. I had witnessed the ' production of milk so frequently by the simple , application of the lips l of the child, that',E 'Was .no 4 therefore, surprisedlilien Add bi the Portuguese in Eastern Africa of a native-doctor who, by applying a poultice of the , pounded larva of hornets to the breast of a woman, aided by the attempts of the ehild, could bring back the milk. LIVINGSTONE AM) 'TUE LION When in the act of ramming down the bullets, I heard a shout. Starting and, looking half round, ;1, saw the lion just in the act of springing upon me. I was upon a little height. He caught my, shoulder as he sprang, and we both came to the ground below, together. Growling horribly close to my ear, he shook me as a terrier dog does a rat. The shock iroduced a stupor similar to that which seems to be felt, by a mouse after the first shake of the ' cat. It caused a sort of dreaminess, in which there' was no sense of pain nor feeling . of terror, though quite. conscious of all that was happening. It was like what patients, partially under the influence of chloroform, describe, who see all the, operation, hut feel not the knife. This singular condition ' was not the result of any mental process. The shake annihi lated fear, and allowed no sense of horror in looking round at the beast. This pecu liar state is probably . produced in all animals killed by the carnivora; and, if so, is a merciful provision by our benevolent Creator for lessening the pain 'of death. Turning round to relieve myself of the.weight, as he had one paw on the back of my head, I saw his eyes directed to Mebalwe, who, was try ing to shoot him at' a distance of ten or fif teen, yards. His gun, a flint one, missed fire in both barrels. The lion immediately. left me, and attacking. Mebalwe, bit his thigh. Another man, whose life I had saved before, after he had been tossed by a buffalo, attempted to spear the lion while he' was . Mewalbe. He left Mewalbe and caught this man by the shoulder, but at that moment the bullets he had received, took effect, and he fell down dead. The whole was the work of a few moments, and must have been his paroxysm, of dying rage. in order to take out the pharm from him the l3akatla on the following day made a huge bonfire over the carcase, which was declared to be that of the largest lion they had ever seen. Besides crunching the bone into splinters, he left eleven teeth- wounds on the upper part of my arm. "A - wound from this - aiiiinal'a tooth• resembles' a gunshot wound; it is generally followed by a great deal of sloughing and discharge, and pains are felt in the part periodically ever after wards. I had on a tartan jacket on the oc casion, and I believed that it , wiped off all the virus from the teeth that pierced the flesh, for my two companions in this affray have, both suffered from the peculiar_pains. While I have escaped with only , the incon venience of a false joint in my 'limb. The man whose shoulder, was wounded showed me his wound actually burst forth afresh on the same month of the following year." THE CHIEF OF THE MAXOLOLO. Here.is. a portrait of Sebituane, the in telligent chief of the Makololo : " He was upon an island with all hisyrin cipal men around him, and engaged in sing ing when we arrived: It was more like church-'music than the sing-song e e e, m 83 m, of the Bechuanas• in the South ;. and they continued -the tune for some seconds after we approached. We informed him of the difficulties we had encountered, and how glad we were that they were all at- an end by.at 'last reaching his presence. He signi fied his own joy, and added, ' your cattle are all bitten by the tsetse, and will certainly die ; a but never mind, I , have oxen and will ,give you as many as you need.' We in our ignorance, then thought that, as so few tse tse had bitten them, no great mischief would follow: He then presented us with an ox and a. jar of honey as food, and handed us over 'to the care of Mahale, who had headed the. party to Kolobeng, and would now fain appropriate to himself the whole credit of our coming.' Prepared skins of oxen as soft as cloth were given to cover us through the night; and as nothing could be returned to this chief, Mahale became the owner of them. Long before it was day, Sebituane came, and sitting down by the fire, which was lighted for our benefit behind the hedge where we lay, he'nariated the difficulties he had himself experienced , when a young man, in crossing that.same Desert which we had, mastered long afterwards. * * * * Sebituane was about fortpfive years of age; of a tall and wiry "form, an olive or coffee and-milk color, and' slightly bald; in man ner, cool and collected, and More frank in his answers than any other chief I ever. met. He was the greatest warrior ever heard of colOny; for, "unlike . Mosilikaise, Dingaan, and others, be always led his men into battle himself.. When he saw the ene my, be felt the edge of his battle axe, and said, " Aha, it is sharp, and whoever turns his back on the enemy will feel its edge." .So fleet of foot was he, that all his people knew there was no escape for the coward, as any Snob would' be out down without mercy. In some instances of skulking, he allowed the individual to return home; then calling him, he would say, " Ah, you prefer dying at home to dying in the field, do you? You shall have your desire." This was the signal for his immediate execution. He came from the country near the sources of the Likwa and Namagari rivers in the South, so we met him 800 or 900 miles from his birthplace. He was, not the son of a chief, though rela ted closely to the reigning family of the Ba sutu ; and when in an attack by Sikonyele the tribe was driven out of one part,.Sebitu ane was one in that immense horde of savages driven baokiby.. eilrigune frolnXurtunab, in 3824. He then fled to the North with an insignificant party of men and cattle. At Melita the Bangwaketse collected the Bak wains, Bakatla, and Bahurutse to ' eat them up.' Placing his men in front and the women behind the cattle, be routed the whole of his enemies at one blow. Having thus conquered Mekabe; the chief of the Bangwaketse, he took immediate possession of his town and all his goods. * * Con quering all around the lake, he beard of white men living at the West coast; and haunted by what seems to have been the dream of his whole life, a desire to have in tercourse with the white man, he passed away to the South-West, into the parts opened up lately by Messrs. Galton and An derson. There, suffering intensely from thirst, he and his party came to a small well. He decided that the men, and not the cattle, should drink it, the former being of most value, as they could fight for more, should these be lost. In the morning they found the cattle had escaped to the Damaras. ARVERIISEMENTS. A 5'7 g 1 1{ c 1111: GOLD; SILVER,: BANK WOMB; EXCHANGE; TIME , AND CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT.

Ho makee no promise , of curing every ease; 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 sense of gratitude. and also by a desire to benefit others, who may be similarly afflicted, 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. 630 Washington Street. For about seventeen years I have been subject to violent attacks of convulsions. They occurred at intervals, varying from two to seven woofs—the fits succeeding each other, sometimes to the number of seven or eight. Daring that time, I have been -seder the treatment of several eminentphysicians in Benton and eietraty. f om.tinies following the directions of out for a3e Ow.): reliuf. I kolve eppiied to the McLean Hospital, teeted the efficacy of Thompsonianiam for thirteen weeks, the Homoeopathic eyetem for 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, I called on him in September last, since which time I have taken his medicine and carefully followed his directions, with the exception of a single occasion. On the sth of January last, being absent from home, I neglected to takethe medi cine; and owing to that' circumstance, together with ex. posure, 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 expe• rlenced in a hundred deaths N.

We might quota from others of the numerous letters we have, and are constantly receiving, but we deem the above sufficient to convince the most skeptical that we have at least the best preparations in the world for the hair of young or old. We manufacture no other p!eparations. Occupying the large building, corner of Broome and Elizabeth Streets, exclusively for Office, sales-room and manufactory, we have no time or ',inclination to engage in other manufactures. These are the only preparations exported in any quantity to Europe. We also would call attention to the fact that we have always avoided all chariatantism. Our preparations are the highest priced, but the cheapest, because it lasts longer, and does, more good ; the expense, in the end, less than others. We aspire to have the best, not the lowtmt priced.
