PHILADELPHIA The subject of direct Trade with Liver ,pool, by means of steam vessels, is still much agitated, To the taunts, thrown out by auwe of the New York papers, that there is nu probability that such ,an ,enterprise would Prove profitable, it is replied that the steam ships plying between that port and Liverpool hare never been remunerative; that the Steamers have lost largely; and that eveu the Cunard Line, notwithstanding the iwwense government patronage, has never been pr„fitable. Great gratification is express' d at the passage of the bill for the Sale of the Re m alning State Works, to the Sunbury and Erie Rolroad, from the completion of which this city hopes to profit greatly in the trade with the North and North West. The Firung Ken's Christian Association aslo plrents, guardians, and pastors, to give young men, coming to reside in the city, letters of introduction to the Association, pro nising that its aid will be extended in surrounding them with proper influences. fhis is well and kind; but every pastor should also give every young man that leaves his congregation for the cities, a letter to 80.ec of the pastors or Sessions, that he may be wade .to feel himself the subject of Christian sympathy and watchful care at once. Many a promising youth might be saved from a career of vice, if this course was always taken. For the temptations of a large city are indescribably dangerous to the young and inexperienced from the quiet and retirement of the country. The sudden Death of Mr. Tray, emi tautly peaceful and rejoining as it was, has produced a profound sensation throughout the community. The funeral sermon was preached by his father, Dr. Tyng, of New York, on last Sabbath evening to the largest audience that ever filled Concert Hall, from 1 Sam. i: 27, 28. The effect of a sermon from such a text, by such a man, and on such an occasion, upon a sympathizing audi• mum may be well imagined, but not easily described.

Revival at Columbia, Pa. REV DAVID M 0 KIN NEE, D. D —Dear Brusher:--" In the midst of deserved wrath, God has remembered us in mercy." But a few months ago, the Presbyterian church of this place was all but deserted by its friends. As a last resort, with scarce a probability of success, they extended a unan,meus call to the Rev. J S. Grimes, of Dayton, Ohio, who, we believe, was sent of God, as a chosen in• stromentality, through whom he has been phased to show forth the exceeding riches of his manifold grace, to this people. On the flirt Sibbath of February, when he entered upon his pastoral duties in this church, the Angel of the Covenant began to trouble the tors In connexion with the elders and myself, be began the werk of family visite tine, to ascertain the special condition and immediate wants of the people. A series of meetings were then commenced, and kept up every evening of the week, for four weeks, when the pastor was obliged to close the services, to attend the meeting of Presby tery. The attendance and interest increased until the close, and deep solemnity marked every service The order of exercises ob served was, first, a plain doctrinal discourse, made praotioal and pungent in its applioa• tinn Second, a prayer-meeting, interspersed with short exhortations, in which br.ither Lane and myself participated with the pas tor And third, an inquiry meeting for the anxii:us, at which the people of God re mained. These services were conducted without any of that noise and animal excite moot oftentimes connected with revivals of religion Brother Grimes preached the blessed Gospel of Christ in all its simplicity, pungency, ard poweri laboring faithlully, by day and by night, in exhorting and en treating sinners to flee from the wrath to come ; and his labors have been owned and abundantly blessed of (god. More than a hundred have been awakened, and deeply exercised in spirit. Many, hitherto careless and unconctrued, were brought to cry to God for mercy This work of God, seem ingly, began with the teachers of the Bab. bath Schi,ol, when the pungent appeal of the pastor came home to each one, " Have you personally addressed each member of your class and importunately urged them to give their hearts to God ?" At the close of the service, 4 , ne of the teachers addressed the pastor, saying, "O, sir, hew can I ever enter this school again to teach others, until my own heart is changed ? 0, I cannot do it, for I feel, as you. say, it will be only heaping coals of fire on their heads and mice During the pry of the meeting, a strong opposition was manifested, in many instances, by parents, against their children w,iting upon the services of the sanctuary. In some cases, they were pmitively f.,rbid den to enter the church in one partioul.r ibalanee, a child of unbelieving parents, not wishing to dimobey their express command, stood outside of the church under the pulpit window, for several hours, during one of the coldest and most inclement nights of the season.

The Presbyterian church at Wrightsville, just across the river, has likewise shared in the st.me blessings. Through the faithful and untiring tffats of the pastor, Rev.

' Ray DR MCKINNEY :—Awidst the showers of Divine blessings, which have been so copionely bestowed throughout our bor ders, it has pleased the Lord to visit us in mercy, in the churches of Muddy ()reek and Centreville, where it is my privilege to labor as pastor. On my return from the Synodical Conven• tion, in December, I eudetvored to carry out the suggestions of that b dy, and in February held a series of meetings m Cen treville, continuing six days and nights Owing to other appointments, these meet ings were suspended, but as soon as I could I return from assisting by brethren, they were resumed. j We then held a series of met tiogs in each congregation, f Mowed by Om:mut:lion. The Spirit of God was present with us, to revive, comfort, and strengthen his people, and 1. ad wanderers back to the fold of Christ It was a season ‘ 4 of refreshieg from the pres euoe of the Lord," and was uharaoterized by great stillness and solemnity. Forly•six members were received into communion, one of whom was by certificate. Amongst them were the aged, the middle aged, and the young Seventeen received the ordinance of biptism The interest continues, and others still express their desire to confess Christ before the world. • The utmost harmony and love prevail amongst our people, and the prospect before us is cheering. Our thanks are due to brothers Walker, Young, Bracken, Boyd, and Miller, for Issistance rendered on the I occasion, I have thought proper to give this brief statement, in accordance with the request made at Cooventiou, and for the encourage went of others it is the L"rd's work, and to his natue be all the praise.

This makes the mruber received in both congre gations, at our late Coin amnion, thirty three, twenty seven of whom are on examination. We have had nu excitement, and instead of urging pers,,ns into the church, we have ad. viand some who wished to connect, to deter it for the present -The attendance en the means of grace is much better than hereto fore, The attention also, and solemnity in the house of God, are greatly better than formerly.

At a congregational meeting of the Pres byterian church of Little Valley, held on 12th day of April, 1858, in 'View of the pas tor's removal (liev Thomas P Speers,) from their midst, the following resolutions were most cordially adopted, viz.: Resolved, That it is with much regret we view his decision of disaulving the pastoral connexion in this congregation, yet, though painful to us, we will not throw any obstacle in his way. but acquiesce in his desire. Resolved, That we are decidedly con vinoed, during his stay of more than three years amung.us, he has discharged hie p ts torsi duties with much accepiaoce, both in his Sabbath exhibitions of Divine truth, and the Wednesday evening lecture, at prayer. , meeting. I Resolved, That we deem it due thus pub lioly to testify to his fervent zeal and untir• ing energy during the past Winter, at a time when there were visible displays of God's presence in our series of wettings. Then his labors were signally blessed to the conversion of many BOWS to God, and the graces of some were deepened and revived. Resolved That his social intercourse was profitable and agreeable, and his bearing, publicly and privately, was kind, dignified, and altogether becoming the ministry of Jesus Christ. We would therefore tender our warmest` attachment to him, and our fervent prayers shall be for his present and eternal welfare, and that God would open a wide field of usefulness for him wherever his providence may direct, and that he may be long spared as a watchman of Zion, to sound the Gospel trumpet, that sinners may hear. Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the Presbyterian, and Pres byterian Banner and Advocate, fur publica tion. THOMAS CUNNINGHAM, Pres . t.

And, as the season advanced, the vessels, were replen ished, and thus the supply kept up Yet all this was so quietly done, that our nearest neighbors knew nothing of it.

LOTTERY DEALIIRS.-11 has been well known for some time that a number of persons were en gaged in the illegal business of selling lottery tickets in this community, to an alarming extent. But to discover them, and at the same time se cure evidence sufficient to insure conviction, has been very difficult. In former dines, several in dividuals were apprehended, who were undoubt edly guilty of selling lAttery tickets, but before the time of trial, the witnesses managed to get out of the way, or the recognizances were forfeited. However, our energetic Mayor had been for some time on the alert, and one day last week, having separated his police into several divisions,' he made a descent on several of the houses sus pected, and in twenty minutes took into custody eight lottery vendors, who will, we hopes receive the just reward of their deeds.
