lent Society, is still the subject of the sever
est animadversion. The scene at the close,
of which we wade mention in our last, might
have been expected, from the fact that large
quantities of the vilest spirituous liquors
were for sale in different parts of the Crystal
Palace. The Committee that had the matter
in charge, now say that this wits necessary
to prevent the confusion that would have
arisen from the going out and return of per
sons in search of liquor. Such an apology
as this should be sufficient to condemn the
whole affiir, and to deter whatever of re
spectability may have been connected with
it, from over taking part in a similar enter
prise. And yet the managers, instead of
learning wisdom from the past, seem deter.
mined to brave the indignation of the relig-
ions, moral, and philanthropic sense of the
community, and have given notice, already,
that another grand entertainment of the
same kind will be given in May.
olent association that depends for success on
measures slush as this, cannot long prosper
in such a country as this. Its days of use•

formation delivers it from impendingruin
It was not to be expected that Satan would
be idle at a time snob as this; and just now
he seems to be especially active. •
It has been announced that the Masked
Balls of Paris are about to be introduced
under the management of a Frenchman, im
ported especially for the purpose. These
have always been productive of immorality,
scandal, and vice ; and consequently receive
the severest reprehension from all the re-
spectable secular journals, and all right
thinking people. Not only so, but a police
magistrate has informed the manager that
the proposed innovation is directly in the
face of a positive law on the subject, that
will be certainly enforced. This warning
was at first treated with affected contempt,
but the programme has evidently been some
what changed on account of it, while the
encouragement already received, is by no
means such as was evidently anticipated.
Most probably the Tribume hits the nail
right on the head, in the following telling
paragraph, which we commend to the apolo-
gists of this, and every other innovation of a
like charaoter :
Some of the city journals are earnestly depre
cating the Masquerade Balls which are proposed
to be given at the Academy of Maisie, appre
hending therefrom serious damage to the public
morals. We should share these apprehensions if
we supposed persons who have any morals likely
to attend such balls.
To Ape European Customs and tastes, has
become altogether too common in our Re
publican country, but no where else is it
carried to such redionlous extremes as in
this city. For instance, it is said that the
books most frequently called for at the Astor
Library, are those which treat of heraldry
and genealogy; and that two professors of
heraldry find full employment in searching
for and painting Coats of Arms 1 IF those
most ambitious of distinction in this way,
would trace, truly, their own genealogy back
a short distance, it is not at all improbable
that many of them would arrive, sooner than
they are willing to admit, at carpenter and
blacksmith shops, butcher shops, and tan
yards, where their ancestors laid the founda
tion for those fortunes, upon which their
descendants now pride themselves so much.
Not withstanding the opening of the .
Spring, many workingmen are out of Em•
ployment, and since the Societies have sus
pended, in a great measure, their operations,
and private charity is not supposed to be
needed, many of these men find it almost im•
possible to secure food for themselves and
families. Nor is there much prospect of a
better state of things for them during the
present season. It has been proposed to
send large numbers of them into the inte
rior and to the West, where labor is abun
dant and the wages good. Bat unfortu
nately, many of them are so unacquainted
with agricultural pursuits, that at the first
they would be of little use to their employ
ers ; and the expenses of their transporta
tion would be very considerable.
We have frequently bad occasion to no-
tine the pretensions of the Churchman, the
organ of the High Church party, and espe
cially the oharacter of its comments upon
the " revival," and upon Christians in sym
pathy with it. Now, however, we are per
mitted to inform our readers that the editor
ila.B been removed by the proprietor, Mr
Hacker. His course was such as to offend
even the friends and patrons of the paper,
to such a degree that a somewhat hasty and
undignified retirement became neceesary.
The Methodist Book Concern at New
York and Cincinnati, is one of the great es
tablishments of the country, and its affairs
are actively and skillfully oon - duoted. Every
Methodist preacher is an agent for the sale
of its publications ; and no otherldenomina
tion in the laud patronizes so exclusively its
own publications, whether of books or news
papers. According to the statement 'made
last week to the New York Bast Conference,
the property of the Book Concern is
worth $700,0000; and the profits last year,
after deducting thirty.three and a half per
cent. for bad debts,• were over $63,000.
Up to this time, there has been no per
ceptible diminution in the Religious Interest,
and great anxiety is manifested for its con
tinuance. Two meetings have already been
held, to devise ways and means for the per
petuation of united efforts to save souls.
It has been proposed to sustain places of
worship where needed; to secure halls for
preaching where no suitable church accom
modations can be found; to purchase a tent
to be used for preaching purposes , in differ
ent legalities ; and to establish Sabbath
Schools and prayer-meetings in every desti
tute district.
The meeting of the Presbytery of New
York was one full of interest. The Rev.
Dr. Spring, of New York, and the Rev.
Dr. Hewit, of Bridgeport, Conn., together
with Ruling Elders 'Messrs. John Stewart and
Walter Lowrie, were elected Commissioners
to the General Assembly, Six young men
were licensed to preach the Gospel, among-
whom was a son of Rev. Dr. J. W. Alex
ander, grandson of the late Archibald Alex
ander, and great grandson of the eloquent
blind preacher, Waddell, immortalized by
Wirt in the British Spy. About five hundred
have been received into the churches of this
Presbytery, of whom one hundred and
twenty nine have been received into the
Mariners' church. But it is to be borne in
mind that these are only the first fruits of
the work; and that in most of the churches
the indications are more favorable than at.
any previous time. " The Lord hath done
great things."
Much. Alarm continues to be felt, espe
cially in the rural districts of the consolida
ted city, on account of the frequent burgla
ries and arsons lately cordmitted. The com
munity seems to be infested by hordes of
most desperate villains, ready to perpetrate
any outrage for the sake of vengeance or
plunder. Every means should be taken to
discover them and bring them to justice.
This city has had its share of the Spring
Business, and high hopes are entertained of
the future. Much complaint is made on
account of the alleged bad faith on the part
of New York merchants. It is alleged that
they induced the merchants of this city and
Boston to agree to shorten credits to three
months, or to six months at the farthest;
but that they are now lengthening out
credits to eight months, and even longer.

A serious accident occurred to the Rev.
Dtcdley A. Tog, while watching the oper
ation of a corn-sheller, in a barn near his
residence. The loose sleeve of the dress

machine, which drew in the arm, lacerating
it in a terrible manner. He died on Monday
evening.
The Philadelphia Association for the pro
motion of the Better Observance of the
Sabbath, has reached the 17th year of its
existence. Daring the last year, six mis
sionaries have been employed, two ministers
and four laymen, whose labors have been
expended upon the canals, public works,
and wherever Sabbath breakers have been
most abundant, with very encouraging sue-

The Sabbath School Teachers have de
termined to omit the usual anniversary of
their schools, on the Ist Tuesday in June,
for the present year, on account of the
spirit of religious inquiry that has been
awakened among the pupils.
The people connected with the new
church enterprise, called Alexander Church,
of which Dr. Alfred Nevin, late of Lancas
ter, is pastor, have exhibited a spirit worthy
of all commendation. Finding the xoom
they were occupying, inadequate to their:
wants, they began the erection of a tempo
rary building, on a lot previously secured,
only two weeks ago. But it has been
already completed, and though very plain,
is built of briok, plastered, comfortably
seated, lighted with gas, and already occu
pied by the promising congregation. The
Sabbath Sehool already numbers one hun
dred and seventy pupils. We know of
congregations in other places, who have been
worshipping for years in rented halls, that
might profit by the imitation of this ex
ample.
The venerable Philip Mayer, D.D., who
has been pastor of the Lutheran church of
St. Luke's over half a century, has at length
fallen asleep, in the seventy•eighth year of
his age. He was born in the city of New
York, on the Ist of April, 1781. His life
was devoted to the service of his Master, in
preaching the Gospel, and in the promotion
of every good work; and his labors were
only ended with his life.

Abstract of Colpoyt!ge in Marrand,
ginia, and North Carolina.
On the Ist of June, 1857, and under the
direction of the Board at Baltimore, I took
charge of Colportage in Maryland. During
the nine intervening months, 16 eolporteurs
have been at work, either all or part of the
time, making 74 months and 12 days' labor.
These colportettrs made 17,542 religions
visits.; 2,680 families are reported as neg
lecters of Evangelical preaching; 1,594 had
no Bibles, three out of four being Catholics;
1,346 families had no religious books ; 265
prayer-meetings, &0., were held; 7,47 C vol.
umes were sold, and 2,058 were granted,
exclusive of $270 in tracts, including city
distribution, humane institutions and pris
ons. Fifty-five men have labored in Vir
ginia, in whole or part of the year just
closed, their united labors equaling 304
months, 17 days; 31,782 visits were made;
2,004 families reported as neglecting the
house of God ; 1,406 of them had no Bibles;
1,844 no religious books; meetings held,
1,603; volumes sold, 33,712 ; granted, 16,-
555. Forty-three men have performed i
217 months and 24 days' labor n North
Carolina. They made 23,701 religions visits;
1,514 families neglecting preaching; 1,055
without the Bible, and 198 destitute of re
ligious books except the Bible; meetings
held, 1,483; volumes sold, 25,152; granted,
10,244.
Five months and two days' labor was done
in'the District of Columbia. Families vis
ited, 4,946, of which 623 neglected preach
ing ; 277 had no Bibles; 158 no other
religious book; volumes sold and granted,
1,250.::.
SUMMARY OF TfE YEAR'S WORK
Time spent in the service, 600 months
and 15 days'; families visited by col porteurs,
77,971; of thesis, 4,327 are Catholics, and
bad no Bibles, and 5,329 had no other re
ligions books; meetings, for religious pur
poses, 3,368. While, from a variety of
causes known to the public, the men engaged
in the tract enterprise have had many draw
baoks, yet the good results of their efforts
are more apparent and more abundant than
any foregoing year, especially inConversions
through reading the Society's publications,
as will be seen by the annual report, to
which the attention of the public is earnest
ly called. Four thousand children have
been collected into Sunday Schools. There
is, at present, a full corps of colporteurs in
this field, most of them having deep expe
rience in their work. They are scattered
over the most destitute sections of these
three States, and their 'prospect of doing
great.good is very encouraging. Friends to
the cause are requested ta remember them

deco. So far, the Zuloaga troops bad been per.
fectly successful, but Gen. Echeagaray, on the
road to Vera Cruz, is described as being in an
extremely dangerous position between the forces
of La Llave 'and those of Negrete. The ezersa-
Mrs of the Consols of the United State S, Spain,
and Hamburg, at Vera Cruz, have been with.
drawn in consequence of their alleged sympathy
with the Constitutionalists. Civil war among
the whites, and renewed outrages by Indians, are
reported from Yucatan, and are said to be deso

When describing the nature of Pulmonary Con
sumption, we remarked that in one method by
which Consumption is sometimes cured, the to
beech's become softened and are discharged into '
the large air tubes, and thence thrown off by
expectoration ; after which the ulcers heal up.
These uloers,,in healing, leave scars just as ex
ternal ulcers do, which scars are inditputabk proof
of the curability of the Consumption. Dr. Cifs
well, of London, examined the lungs of seventy
two persons, who bad died of other diseases, and
in twelve, found sows showing where ulcers had
formerly existed—or, in other words, proving
most conclusively that these twelve patients had,
at some previous time been cured of advanced
consumption. Bodet, of Paris, in one hundred
and forty-nine examinations, found twenty-eight
similar cases, and the great Ltenneo in far more
extensive investigations, found about the same,
proportion of cases in which these scars existed.
Many eminent physicians of our own country have
made similar observations, and folly acknOwledge
the curability of consumption; bat in spite :of
all this testimony, the great mass of AmeriCan
practitioners persist in pronouncing it utterly in.
curable.

lungs, to, say that the disease could not have
been consumption, or the patient would not have
recovered; but if he dies,. they, consider it proof
that the ease was, one of consumption. This is
equivalent to saying that they have to treat lung
disease without knowing what they are really
prescribing for, as they cannot detect its nature
until it terminates either in death•or recovery..
It is true that it is very difficult to detect con
sumption in its earliest stages, except by an ex
perience in auscultation far greater than physi
cians in general practice can have-; but long be
fore the disease can justly he pronounced beyond
ours, it becomes so easy of detection, that every
physician should be able to ascertain its nature,
and to treat it understandingly.
We would add here that we do not wish to be
understood as asserting that all cases of consump
tion are curable. This would be simply absurd.
We merely mean to say, that, although consump
tion is a dangerous disease; it is still curable
when judiciously treated, and taken as every se
rious disease should be, reasonable time. If

Pnor. Worm, the renowned discoverer of the
invaluable " Hair Restorative," still continues to
labor in behalf of the afflicted. His medicines
are universally admitted, by the Amerioan preps,
to be far superior to all others for causing the
hair on the head of the aged, to grow forth with
as much vigor and luxuriance as when blessed
with the advantages of youth. There can be no
doubt, if we place credit in the innumerable testi
monials which the Professor has in his possession,
that it is one of the greatest discoveries in the
medical world. It restores, permanently, gray
hair to its original color, and makes It assume a
beautiful silky texture, which has been very de
sirable in all ages of the world. It frequently
happens that old men marry beautiful and amia
ble young ladies, and not unfrequently crusty old
maids make victims of handsome, good-natured.
young gentlemen, and by what process it has
never been determined, until lately, when it was
attributed to the use of this invaluable Hair Re

The work of taking in the Atlantic cable was
proceeding with dispatch on both the Niagara and
4,gamemnon, and the whole was expected to be on
board by the 10th.of May. •
It is intended that the two vessels, which are
expected to be completely ready by the end of
May, shall, before commencing to lay the cable,
proceed to sea, and in the deep water, about three
hundred miles from the Irielt.coast, rehearse a
series of experiments in paying out and hauling
in, and pat to a practical test several suggestions
and appliances that have been proposed by various
ingenious persons. The two ships will' then re
turn to England and report progress, and should
experiments show that improvement or alteration
is desirable, there. will be time.to get it effected
BO as to enable the expedition to make their final
start at the most favorable time of the year.
Admiralty instructions had been received at
Woolwich, directing the necessary preparations to
be made for the immediate commiseion of the
paddle-wheel steam, sloop Gorgon, to be employed
with the Agamemnon in paying out the Atlantic
Telegraph cable. Captain Geo. W. Preedy had

The Paris correspondent of the :London Time*,
writing on the 80th of March, says "The state
of the relations between, the French and Swiss
Governments Is beginning to be viewed with some
uneasiness in Paris. The fatality, that was near
bringing about a rupture with England, seems to
be present on this ocossion. From Darns the
following telegram, of this day's date, has been
received: The French Minister has again in
slated that the Federal Government shall estab-
lish Consuls at Chaudefonde and Basle, on the
ground that those oonsuiates are indispensable
for facilitating the vise of passports for French
subjects, as well as for foreigners in Switzer
land."
It was said that several of the Crimean Gen
erals would acoompany Pelissier to London, for
the purpose of being presented to the Queen.
Lord Cowley, the British Minister in Paris, was

Moore, Ego., and Caroline, Isle of Hollidaysburg,
Pa., in the 22d year of his age.
His' disease was pulmonary consumption, same
as with his younger brother, who died about
two months since. Amiable, upright, and affec
tionate brothers in life, they were separated but
a little in their deaths. Thus are the aged and
revered parents left without a child with them,
their surviving ones having families of their own.
In these dispensations, God's footsteps are in deep
waters. Yet the parents and friends sorrow not
as those who have no hope. David had always
been thoughtful and religiously inclined, yet had
hesitated in making an open profession of faith
in Christ, until about six weeks previous to his
deceatie, when he was very hopefully received I°
the communion of the Church. His mind and
heart seemed peculiarly active through all hie
afflictions, dwelling upon spiritual and heavenly'
themes until the hour -of his departure came,
when (as we confidently lope,) he fell asleep in
Jesus. May every young man who* reads these
lines, hear the voice of God's providence in this
event, saying, "Be ye also ready ; for in such an
hour as ye think not, the Bon of Man cometh."
