Lord, I Believe."—Mark ix: 14. 1 $ Lord, I believe P' the father cried, His suffering child who brought; And, moved by agonising love, The gift of healing sought; And then, the urgency of prayer Blent with hie tide of grief; While tears bedewed the trembling words, is Help thou mine unbelief." And with that contrite cry for aid Which from his spirit burst, The faith was born, that' oasts away All Pharisaic trust : That resteth not in cold assent To Reason's lifeless form, But patient bears a Saviour's cross In sunshine or in storm. And though the clouds of mystery press Around this thorny vale ; Still waits, and walks, and works by love, The faith that cannot fail The Papacy Against England. England, ever since the Reformation, has been the object of Papal hatred. - The idea of either her moral conquest, or her national subversion, has been steadily cherished. Spain was stimulated against her, till she was broken by her self dashing against this rook. Much . of the hostility, between France and England, has been excited from the same quarter. Rome's decree is, that England must be destroyed. This purpose is to perish, only with Rome's utter fall. • The 'political cordiality, arising from State policy, between France and England, is not to endure, if Papal ingenuity can destroy it. In the London Christian Times, under the head of Foreign Intelligence, we find the following : It is curious that the Univers, which is the leading organ of the clerical party, has been for the last few years the most war-like of the whole Paris press. The Univers is the first to evoke the spirit of hatred, to re vive angry passions that had long been lulled, and prejudices that bad been dying out. It is the Univers, the advocate 'of re ligious duties and observances, of - humility and all the Christian virtues, that first grasps the trumpet and blows the , loudest note of defianoe. The very name of England seems to set it wild; and, judging from its lark guage, it would repeat the part of Peter the Hermit, and preach a crusade against us all over Europe. In an article on the subject of the "Confessions of Belgravia," it ex plains the cause of its animosity against England thus "We are accused of being the enemies of England . ; yes, .we are, un, deniably the foes of Protestant England, because we are aware that Protestant Eng. land is necessarily the ally' of the'Revolu tion, necessarily the enemy of France and of all nations, and naturally the greatest ob stacle to the conversion of the heathen and to the civilization of the world. But we do not deny the excellent qualities—not of the English character, which is changing more and more—but of the great number of Eng lishmen. It is by these qualities that Eng land maintains her strength and power; but these very qualities render her the more dangerous, because they are devoted to evil objects. We 'do not see the necessity of depreciating the power of England—which is, however, less than is believed—but it is because she is powerful that we assail her with energy. The world will never recover, substantial peace until England shall have become Roman Catholic, or shall have ceased to be a first-rate Power." It closes with the following Christian•like advice With England no alliance is possible. The nations of the earth ought, therefore, to come to an understanding, and hurl against her the famous sentence of the Roman Senate- 4 Delenda est Carthago.' " Tor the Preotolerisn Banner and Advocate. Liberia and French Emigration. MR. EDITOR have read this morning, with deep regret, the' opening sentence of the article in your issue of .the 24th inst, headed "Liberia." it is this: We are sorry to see, by the papers, that President Benson has been guilty of it very great in discretion, if not of a positive crime." This assumes the guilt of President Benson, as proved. This, in my opinion, is hasty. It is pre judging the case. I wish to state a few facts, demanding, as I think, in justice, a suspension of judgment for the present. Upon what evidence is President Ben son pronounced guilty of the oharges pre ferred? It is chiefly ex parse. It comes from interested, angry Frenchmen. The only testimony of, a different character, whieh has oome to my knowledge, is that of Mr. B. V. IL James, published in the New York Daily Times, of July 17th; and some things reported by that paper, as from Mr. Rue, and Mr. Chester, all Liberians. Of these, I have to say that, what Mr. James is made to say is wholly without his knowledge or consent; and the editorhil comments betray a lamentable ignorance, of the whole matter, of which they treat so knowingly. Let me substantiate. In a note of July 17th, Mr. - James writes me : This morning, "to my astonishment and mortification, I found myself arraigned before the public in a ridiculous light. * * A few 1140 ago, I gave Mr. a written statement, in part, of the mutiny, &o. * * did not sign it. I only wished to help him in preparing an article for one of the 'papers of this city, which he then had in contemplation. made to him verbal and explicit statements 'relative to this affair, such as would, had they been published as I made them, have exonerated President Benson, and the Governnient of Liberia, from the wicked and rualic4ous misrepresen tations of the French, and the American ed itors who seem to side with the French state ments of the affair. * * Novefor him to make such an ostentatious disilay of my name in a public newspaper, without my knowledge or consent, is intolerable:. * * I have no desire to appear before the pub lic, and especially like an ass, as this cOm munication has made me to appear." I trust I shall be, pardoned for bringing to the public eye what was given me in the privacy and confidence of friendship The statements here quoted show how much the averment of the Times is worth, when it says: "By his" (Mr. James') "admission, the assent of President Benson was, in the first instance, secured for buying or stealing the negroes," Sr.c. Bio. Here the impression made upon nine readers out of ten is, or will be, that President'Benson knowingly as sented to the "buying or stealing of ne groes." What a monstrous travesty of the testimony of an honest man! Mr. James may have admitted that President Benson gavel his assent to the procurement of emi grants, for neither had he any reason to deny this, nor President Benson any reason, I had better say power, to decline it. To make this plain it will be necessay, first, to state a few facts according to my re collection of them. A few years since, both British and French vessels wore transport. ing emigrants, native and Liberian, for la borers in the West Indies and the Guianas. The British, I believe, for some time, have relinquished the shipping of African emi. grants. , They are satisfied with Asiatics. The French have continued it. Facts came to light, which gave cause to suspect that some were procured in Liberian territory without their free , consent. To prevent this, a proclamation was issued by the Libe rian Government, requiring all vessels en gaged in this business, within the jurisdio tion.of the Republic, to report themselves at Monrovia before leaving the coast, in order that they might be visited by an inspector, authorized by the Government, to ascertain whether or not all had enlisted of their free consent. In some oases, this order was complied with; in others, evaded. Com plaints were made for this evasion. The French Government, partly on account of these requisitions and complaints, and partly on account of the interference of the British Government in the matter, at the instance of the Republic, became so incensed that they refused to deliver a vessel of war, which had been offered years before and fitted up, when the duly authorized Commissioner of the Liberian Government presented himself to recive her. L.H.B. Meanwhile, the emigrant system was pro gressing. In the last annual message of the Presi'lent, (December, 1857,) the subject was brought to the notice of. the Liberian Legislature. This resulted in the passage of the following enactment, which providen tially came to my hands yesterday, in a pamphlet containing the Acts of the but Legislature. Though long, I give it entire, for the satisfaction of your readers : "AN ACT REGULATING THE ENLISTMENT AND TRANSPORTATION 'OE EMIGRANTS. "it is enacted, by the Senate and House of Represtntatives of the Republic of Libe ria, in Legislature assembled : " Srxmosi 1. That, from and after the passage of this Act, any person or persons coming to, or residing within 'the jurisdic tion of this Republio, wishing to engage in enlisting and procuring emigrants of native Africans, for transportation to a foreign country, shall, before engaging in said en terprise, appear before the Secretary of State, and present to him the credentials from the. Government granting him or them the privilege of enlisting and procuring emigrant's, as aforesaid, and shall also pre sent a copy of the conditions and terms, which he or they offer, for the encourage ment of emigration, which oredentiald and conditions shall be laid before the President, and if judged proper and legal, the said person or persons shall appear before the Attorney General, and enter into bend witl. approved security, to the Republic of Libe ria, in the sum of Twenty Thousand Dollars, for his or their faithful compliance with the Laws of the Republio,, and especially to such as relate to the enlisting of emigrants within the jurisdiction of the Republic ; said bond shall be deposited at the office of the Secretary of State; and the person or persons thus complying shall be granted permission .to enlist emigrants. " SEo. 2. It is further enacted, that the master, supercargo, or agent of any foreign vessel arriving on the Liberian coast, and - wishing to engage in the enlisting, procuring, and transportation of emigrants of native Africans, from within the jurisdiction of the Republic of Liberia to any other foreign country, before engaging in said business, shall comply with all the provisions laid down in the first section of this Act,' and shall enter his vessel and cargo at the port of Monrovia, County of Montserrado, the law directs for the entry of foreign vessels and cargo arriving on the said coast. "Nevertheless, emigration, in all cases, shall be confined to such ports of entry as are declared such by law ; passports being in all cases required, as are by law provided for. I , Sm. 3. That any person or persons coming to or residing within the jurisdiction of this Republic, engaged in enlisting and procuring emigrants of native Atricans, for transportation to a foreign country, shall re., ceive only such persons as emigrants, as shall of their own free will and consent come forward and volunteer as emigrants, after the conditions and terms of emigrating are fully explained to them; and further, no person shall be received as an emigrant who shall be presented. bound with cords, or in any other way, or who, from fear, threaten ing, or coercion'of other persons, has been compelled to offer him or herself as an emi grant contrary to' his or her own will; and further, any person or persons who shall volunteer as an emigrant, shall not be con fined in cords, chains,, irons, stocks, prison house, or in any way contrary to the laws of the Republic in relation to the rights of OW izens; and further, there shall be no house established within the jurisdiction of this Republic, for the purpose of confining or keeping emigrants in custody. " SEC. 4. It is further enacted, That the master, supercargo, or agents of any foreign vessel arriving on the Liberian coast, or any person or persons coming to or residing with in the jurisdiction of the Republic of Libe ria, who shall proceed - to enlist and procire emigrants of native Africans for transporta- tion to a foreign country, contrary to the provisions of this Act, on conviction thereof before any court of competent jurisdiction, shall be fined in a sum of not less than two thousand, nor more than ten thousand dol lars, at the discretion of the court deter mining theoase, and the vessel or vessels receiving Xneli ,native Africans on board, shall be proceeded against according to the ' eighth, ninth and tenth sections of the sec . "ONE THING IS NEEDFUL:" "ONE THING HAVE I DESIRED OF THE LORD:" "THIS ONE THING I DO." PUBLICATION OFFICE, GAZETTE BUILDING, FIFTH STREET, ABOVE SMITHFIELD, PITTSBURGH, PA. FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1858. and article governing Navigation, Commerce, and Revenue." It will be..een from this Act, how much President Benson, who recommended and approved it, and the Liberian Legislature which passed it, are disposed to favor forced emigration—or, indeed, emigration at all. It must be plain that by this Act the whole business is guarded against abuse, and so en cumbered at every point as almost to amount to a prohibition. That this was its design there is good reason to believe. (See let. ter below.) That this prohibitory position was not taken, is a cease of regret, but not of just censure upon the Liberian Govern ment. They could not take that ground with any hope of maintaining it, while the French Government was intent upon pro curing emigrants ; the hands of the British Government tied, because engaged in much the same thing elsewhere; and our own Government juke warm, and uninterested in the matter. .Sco milt the Weak conciliate the powerful. • Oaly cue :point is wanting, and this whole matter is clear. It does not appear when this permit to enlist was obtained. If after the passage of this Act, every charge against President Benson is unjust. Admit that be gave his assent—that he even teak the 1,564 piastres—and he did no more than the law authorized and compelled him to. do. He , could not refuse his assent when the terms of the Act were complied with, and he was obliged, by.the very Act, to exact the com mon fee for passports, as in other cases. According to Admiral. Han3elin's report, as cited by Lord Malmsbury in the House of. Lords, and as gifven in the New York Times, it would appear that the "Regina Cceli ar rived at Cape Mount on the' 29th of last October." I was, at Monrovia myself, from July up to the 15th of December, last year, and was there again in March of this year and I am sure no such transaction took place at Monrovia before the date first men tioned, (December.) Indeed, it would have been better for Admiral Hamelin to have suppressed dates altogether, as he would thus have avoided a. most stupid Contradiction. The vessel ar rived in October: The President entered warmly into Capt. Simon's plans. "The enlistment of emigrants was carried on with the greatest facility and the greatest care, under the superintendence of the Liberian authorities, as well as the , agent of the French Government." And,qo lon the 9th of April, six Months after the arrival of the vessel, two hundred and seventy-one emi grants had arrivPd in the roadstead, and the rest of them were ready ,to embark." This is shipping emigrants with the great est facility,' truly. It is' only equalled by the blundering comments of the 'Times, which actually makes the mutiny to have taken . place before the ship had reached the place where the emigrants were taken on board. Bat enough, enough. Much light is yet to be shed on this subject. Let not the American people stultify themselves by pre-judging the case, on testimony wholly unworthy of credence. Let them bear in, mind' the counsel, Andi partem alteram.. We can 'afford to wait. Truth will out. When sure of that, then let justice be awarded upon whomsoever it may fall. D. A. WILSON, Principal Alex. High School, Liberia. Sewick/ey, Pa., July - 24, 1858 The following extracts from a private let ter, dated Monrovia, May 19th, received yesterday from a- former Dupil of the Alex ander High School, a youth of Christian character, and for some time since the pri vate Secretary of President Benson, will show his feeling on this point. It is scarce ly too much to presume, considering his in timate relations with the President and Cabinet, that he speaks their mind also. AS the first part of the letter gives a fuller de tail of the whole matter than have seen elsewhere, I give all relating to this subject verbatim, et literatim, et panctuatim, as it came tb me. D.A.W. * * * " Since your departure from Liberia, a fact of very great importance has, transpired. The French - emigrant ship, Regina CrEli, was in the vicinity of Roberts port, Grand Cape Mount, recruiting laborers for the French Colonies. On the 9th ult., a mutiny broke out onboard ; the emigrants murdering all the drew that were aboard, (eleven,)—the doctor, who was their favor ite, they sent on shore—at the time, :the Captain, French Government officer, and a few others, happened to, be absent at Sugaree. When the news reached Monrovia, the Sec retary of State made a requisition for volun teers ; men volunteered to recapture the vessel.; but the Lark and our other larger boats being away, they could not be'conveyed to Cape Mount. On the 14th ult., the mail, steamer Ethio . pe arrived in port; the Captain, on requisition' from the French Consul, left for Cape Mount, and on the, evening of 15th towed the Vessel into this -harbor ; he considered her his prize, and placed a prize >officer on board. Of course the French Captain (Simon,) remonstrated against it, stating that the vessel had not been abandoned. Oa the let inst., H. B. M. steamer Spitfire arrived port; on the 2d, H. I. M. steamer "Le Daim" (the fallow deer,) arrived; on tha4th, H. I. M. steamer "Re:amain" came, having ,on board P. Pante!, the Chief 9f Staff of the French Naval Division 'on the West Coast, who represented by special :delegation the French Admiral; the first act this man per formed (Frenchman-like,) was to send, on the sth, the French Consul - his discharge, on account, he alleged, of his conduct toward the unfortunate Frenchman of the Regina anti. ' " The English Commander, Campbell, declared that the Frenchman should not take the ship out of harbor during his stay. On the 4th, Le Dalai, left, the authority of her Captain being superseded by the arrival of the staff officer; on the 7th inst., both parties concluded to bring .the matter into court, and consequently the English -Com mander,,our Marshal having been placed on boa'rd of the Regina 00, left for' Palmas to the relief of an English,tratier there , in distress. OA the Bth, the Frenchman, fully satisfied that the English had actually gone to Palmas, wait on board the'Regiaa `with' five boats, and about seventy men' armed to the teeth, and ordered the Marshal sisliord,•saying that the vessel .vvaa French propeity. ' "It i trim this was'a great indignity to , the Liberian gciveitmerit ; bat if the French were inclined to act tic-dastardly, and if the affair has united in the liberation of about two hundred and fifty men,. and probably the prevention of the prevention of the trade on our coast in futur6,:ive can submit to the indignity, fully confident' that our stand, in the whole affait.will be approved by the civilized world, and . , We the event to God. .

LONDON, July 9th, 1858... .. _ _ The Houst OF LORDS, after yielding, last week, to the pressure of 'Of' Cameos, and, the - persuasions of Lord Derby, as -to the admission,of Jews into Parliament, the very next night, under the same. Premier's , leadership, reversed their concili&tory, policy, and threw out, by a large-"majority, the Bill sent up from, the lower House ter the aboli- tion of Church rates. This„ is"revery"", year becoming' a more, and more Veletlandyep,- flails question. The Diesenterth,Aoer the guidance of Edward MM.,' editor of the Non- Oonformist, for some in Parlia ment, and likely to go there again,- a' man of acknowledged ability, and of 'one idea ' in reference to this matter, have.-,made such progress in their assault on,Church rates,, that their abolition is only a question of time. Lord Palmerston, not long' before his treated ,a, Deputation Of their. body with scant respect, if not positive insolence, and that was not forgotten when the decisive vote that upset his Cabinet came to be given., But now the Premier insists that old Church fabrics in rural, districts; will= go:to and that unless there be compensation tprovided, there can be no abolition:allowed.: .The rates; say the Tory Lords, come oift,the lands virtually, and their abolition would:' only in the end swell our rent' fella; by T tinehavint to pay, so much less per annurni and we do not want any such result. But it is a fact - that in *any oases the rates 'do not come off the lands ; they-are in towns just what . ., the hateful " Annuity Tax" is in Edin burgh, out of which the city clergy of the Scottish Establishment receive, each, .R. 60 0, per annum. By a majority of one only, did, the latter tax escape abolition .by, a vote of the House of Commons, and the Edinburgh clergy sagaciously see that ,with a "minority of population, in. their churches, " com promise," is their only hope of being throWn on the voluntary principle. of support. Well, as to Churchißates and the. Peers,,,. "compromise" also, and a settlement on the principle of " meeting Dissenters half way," is proposed by the Bishops; who plead hard—and with some justice, ler poor cler gymen in rural districts—in the matter. But the result of the conduct ,of the Lords is to make them Very unpopular. They go on the " zig-zag principle" of making a concession to-day, and of refusing to-undo a., heavy, burden., tomorrow. With what.. vigor did the Times, apply the lash next morning after the division on the Church e Rates Bill And then, two days after, it assaults. Lord Derby again, shoWing what-, a - golden opportunity to make political capital he has lost, and' pointing out that the Peers have nothing before them but a disgraceful concession of what they now so sternly deny. Thus. it writes : "We hardly think the" principle of refusing a liberal measure to-' • day, because you conceded a liberal measure yesterday; of fasting, on Friday, because you feasted on Thursday; of listening to policy one day, and prejudice the will be likely to conciliate to .Lord Derby and his Government the support and good opinion of the country. No man can. serve two masters, without, making both .of them his enemies, and establishing precedents which are sure to be used against himself. Lord Derby has not pleased the Tories near ly so much by refusing the Bill for the, abolition of Church Rates, as he haoffended-., them, by accepting ,the Bill for the admission of Jews into Parliament." The Nym dna& Buz, in the form in which it goes up to the Lords, makes a. less sweeping change in the government than was expected. Although the Company is abolished, and the proprietors lose all their former power, the Directors revive under the name of Counselors, (assisting and Ad vising the Secretary of State for India,) with numberi slightly diminished, and with salaries (41200 per annum,) largely in= creased. The Government nominees on the Council, as well as those to be elected by the Council once constituted, will be *Ohs bly those who are now most prominent in Leadeichall Street, London. But under the new regime, the Secretary of _State, unlike the past Presidents of the Board of Control, will be able at his pleasure to assume the initia tive. This has hitherto, in ordinary cases, been reserved to the Court of Directors. Again, the Crown (i. e., the Ministry in power,) selects withput check, as at present, the Governor-General, the Governors of Presi denoies, and the Commander-in-Chief, and of the members of the different Coun cils in India: The minor patronage,- as to • civil and military cadetships, will. be much the same as at present, and the difficult 4uestion of the re.organization of the Indian' army, and its transference to the Crown, is postponed. Much will depend on the character of the men who work the system, both here and in India;; , and, as I. have often said in my letters, there is reason to hope that Chris lianity will find all increasing nunabei of faithful repreientatives in connexion with the future Government of- India. Outram is now on the Council at• Calcutta, • and a' nobler, more patriotic, and more disinterested man, there cannot bp. As to , his chiyalry,, and courage, and skill, his whole Career has o borne testimony, especially Lis 'eCiituct at eet;',., Luoknow. The piate of the celebrated re treat,. without the loss of a man, from Luck noi, by Sir Colin's forcei, was Outram's. We know what . a high.souled spirit he dis played, when, having the right, he refused to take superior command over Havelock, but placed himself under him, till he should complete his career of oriatorips. In a Anil liant eulogium pronounced on Outram, the, other day, it *the India Houlie, by Captain Eastwick, (a Christian man and a Direc tor,) it was,mentioned ,that Outrain was so unselfish and , conscientious that he ,refused to accept—although a poor man--of pf a,largea iiiiii i iit'SZindeliraeliminW and had Made it over to benefolint institutions in Bombay.
