toe breionier to attract much attention, and to call f , rtf , great sympathy. For there are here nrar'y forty thousand ironieu, who sew for a living. About thirteen thousand of these lire shirt makers, eleven thousand t)ileres.4es and vest•makers, four thousand four hundred cloak-makers, three thousand dress makers and milliners; besides those employed in other branches of needle-work. It is supposed that only about three thou. id of the whole number had regular em ployment during the Winter, and conse quently many have felt the pinchings of poverty and want, while to others the temp tations to vice and crime have been strong. The introduction of sewing machines has thrown many out of employment, and although some other better means of honest livelihood will soon be presented, the change, at first, is accompanied by much individual suffer ing. Every improvement in productive machinery has, in the end, benefited the' operative and laborer. The Sabbath Movement gives promise of much greater success than many of its friends expected in the beginning. Every meeting, on the subject increases in interest, and! brings out additional advocates. Thelast meeting was one of great spirit. Pious lay men are willing to lend their efforts, and to devote their personal agency to this work. They are not willing that the clergy should be left to fight this battle alone any longer. At this meeting, cinch men as Hiram Ketch um, E. L. Fanche, Hon. B. F. Butler, Horace Holden, and Judge Slosson, spoke in advocacy of a prudent yet deoisive en forcement of the existing Sabbath laws: The Hon. F. A. Talmage, Superintendent of Police, and for many years Reorder of the City, was present, and gave a most en - ()enraging account of his efforts'toward closing the stores, stopping the racing on Seventh Avenue, and preventing the sale of newspapers, on the Lord's day. He has also said that he had issued an order to arrest boys who were crying newspapers on Sun day, but at the suggestion of the Chairman of the Sabbath Committee, he bad deter mined to ask the proprietors of the papers first, to abate the nuisance, and if they would not stop, he would issue the order at, once. 'The Religious Revival continues to be the great and absorbing topic. Even the press ure of business at the hurried season of 'the, year, in the great commercial metropolis, has not yet turned away the minds of men from the great concerns of their souls. To enumerate the places open for prayer, the churches in which great additions have beon made to the ,membership, and any consid erable number of incidents, is impossible in our limited space. Certainly the people of this city were never before so awakened on the subject of religion, as now; never be.; fore were there so many meetings, so, many sermons, so many prayers. Never before have the lay members of the church exhib• ited such activity, or seemed to feel their responsibility in the same degree. Stran gers visiting the city attend in large crowds, and many will carry to their distant homes hallowed influences. In the mean time, some of the religious papers are calling attention to some of the dangers just now in the way. One is, the great publicity given to the whole work, and to many of the details. Now, it is said, and every one of experience knows its truth, that it is a very critical point in every revival, just when it becomes public. Another danger consists in the liability of inquirers, at a time such as this, to depend altogether too much cm the conversation and prayers of oihers, with out going directly to Christ, and feeling themselves under personal obligations to repent. And again the number of conver sions does not yet bear any thing More than a small proportion to the whole number led to tbbughtfulness concerning salvation. Never was there greater need of faith, pin dence and perseverance , in this good work, than now. May the Holy Spirit still come down. Rev. Henry V. Rankin,' our esteemed missionary, has sailed for England, on his return to his station in China. PHILADELPHIA This city may feel a just pride in , its many Philanfh,ropic Institutions, and in the ability and willingness of its people to con. tribute to the relief of the poor and suffering. The different Relief Associations present very favorable reports of their labors during the last Winter, showing that the,. means placed in their hands have been judiciously expended. A Convention of the Editors of Penneyl. vania has been called to meet at Philadel phia on Wednesday, the 21st of April, for the purpose of effecting a more thorough organization of the Editorial Assoeiation of this State. A Convention of ministers and layttim , , of the Seceder, Union, and dowicrl,aer Churches, was held in Dr. Dale's churofi i " one evening last week, for prayer and con fe:ence on the present wide.spread revival& religion. About one thousand persons were present. Several addresses were made, by both ministers and laymen, in which the necessity for an improved state, of religious feeling and life was strongly pleaded, but at the Fame time it was contended that' the meetings in Jayne's Hall must not be made to take the place of personal and private devotion and inquiry.. The meetings in this Hall have been. as large us ever, while there has been preaching every afternonn, among others, <by Rev. John Chambers, and Rev. Alfred Nevin D. D. Almost every church gives evidence of new Ms in its members and new , earnest=__ ness among the unconverted. .111 - ay' the , work deepen, and beeome yet more power: 7 ful and solemn; may converts become great ly multiplied.

Tor the Presbyterian Danner and Advocate' Religious Interest in Unity Church. UNITY PARSONAGE ; I March 22, 1858. My DP.Att - BROTHER :--Your letter of the 23d of January, came duly to hand. I should have answered before, but I, was waiting to see what would be the result of our meetings. You say, "I find by your letter to H—, you are engaged in a work which, of all others, is of the greatest im portance; and I hope, by this time, you are enjoying a blessed revival." • True, the past Winter has been one of al most constant labor. We have been try ing to carry out the recommendation of the Pastoral Letter, issued by. the Pitts burgh Convention. That letter, (a copy "of which I enclose,) breathes the very spirit of that holy Convocation—that blessed revival prayer-meeting, never to be forgotten. In less than a week after my return home, there 'were .spme tokens of the. i Lord's pres ence n my , congregation. The'third Stab sat' bath ' December, we had a very solemn and precious communion season, followed by sereral held in 'different parts . .of the Congregation, for epeeial prayer and ;Christian conversation with the members of the church, which, with the Divine blessing, 'seemed useful in stirring up the minds of Christiania to-s'elfexamination,.-prayer, and nersonal effort for the conversion of sinners. I believe I mentioned, in any letter to that my Session, , after prayerful deliberation, entered °lawfully upon the work of family visiting. We divided ourselves into three committees, and went, (as recommended,) two and two, frimi'house to house, through the whole congregation, , conversing and praying'with every family. It was 'a labori oils work, and requiring some self denial at "the beginning; but, in the end; :proveffm rich , btessing..to the members of the Session, and was, I trust, productive of much good ,to most of the families visited: • ' We held a protracted Meeting of -five days; in January, and another .of four days-in February, in which we received veryucaept able and valuable assistance from several, neighboring ministers...We have hid meet -f ings of different kinds almost daily for three', menthe, most of whieh have been solemn and deeply interesting. As to our "enjoying a blessed revival,": I'scarcely.know what to tell you. We do not call it a revival, that is, a general and powerful revival, such as we greatly needed, and:such as we witnessed at the East, in our youth"; yet the Lord has visited us in sreat mercy, for" which we have nbundatereapow to be thankful. The niost'of 'the'inembers of the church have been,revived; spine 'backsliders have been `reclaimed,; prayer - meetings been mull tiplied, beyond what, I have witnessed in twenty years; many neWlamily altars have been set up; and the number of those who lead in prayer, in our , meetings,' has been more than doubled. Many sinners have been awakened, and a few, wetrust,• have - been converted. At one •time, the bird'' `seemed specially present in our meetings, There was 'manifestly much tender feeling and deep interest, even among the ' impeni r i tent; and some of God's people , tried , to plead in their prayers 'that hlesse& promise, will pour water upon him that, is thirsty and floods upon the,dry ground." The Lord his fulfilled to' us the first party he. hak poured water upon some. thirsty souls, brit,' threugh the weakness of our faith, or 'for ionie other cause, the floods hive, not ,come down upon the ,dry ground: fear there has been some mighty obstacle in the way; some dreadful Aehan in the camp, or in our' 'hearts, that has hindered the L')rd's blessing: from earning down,upon us sueb eop,ious'' showers as we need. For this we ought to mourn, and lie low and abased in the',;ilust' before God. But for the drops of, mercy which we have received, we desire to thank and adore our blessed 'Redeemer.' I trust- the bora has not yet left us; that there are still -some -inquiring sinners in our Midit,'„ ho will anon be,gathered into the 'fold of Christ • • .„ ;5 We have recentlyhad another comnariniCw satin in 'Which the hearts'of believers have been' comforted andla,goodly 'number added' 'to the 'church. In 'all, including four,that. reined 'near the commencement' bur:meet ings; we have received twentpeiglit';,tiventy.' one on examination, andheven on certiftbate. We litill,bave'frOpient and solemn meetings, and we are still 'praying ,that the Lord'iould send 'doivn a blessed "rain of righteousness upon us." I ask au interestin'your prayeri in our behalf.

The prodigious power which enables` the eider duck to fly ninety miles . anliour, and pigeons and other birdswith much greater speed; is derived from yery large , lungs, mseisted by,an,additional peculiarity ; in their structure, which allows the air to enter their quills, bones, and even the cel lular 'tissue, whereby the air comes directly ,in contact with.the muscles; • the same provision en ables the eagle to es.rry to the extremely•raritied itmosphere of the highest mountains, an animal nearly or quite as heavy as himself.

The man who commando an inferior rcbool, at which the time of the pupils would he wasted, or spent to little profit, commits a social wrong ; whilst be who calls dettrild attention to a meritorious school, cantata a social benefit. , Ism, therefore, free fo say, that with the locality, ap pointments and arrangements of your Academy, I was well satisfied. Year location is beautiful, healthful, and relive leant; your buildings spacioue , comfortable, and. well adapted; your neighborhood intelligent, moral, and exempt from temptations for youth. I deemed your aseLstante ea pable; faithful, and diligent; the recitations I witnessed were highly creditable.

Hoping that journey always enjoy the patronage which such a school ought to command, and that you may be very successful in training the youths oommitted to your care, for usefulness and happiness in earth and heaven, I remain, very respectfully yours, D.
