The Laying ef the Corner. Stone of St.
Patrick's Cathedral, was the grand fete . of
the 16th, Sabbath though it was. Rail
cars, omnibuses, carriages, all kinds of ve•
bides, were in requisition from early morn,
and the city poured some one hundred
thousand of its inhabitants into the sqoare
bounded by Fifth and Madison Avenues;
and by Fiftieth and Fitty•first streets This
extensive plot is the site of the Cathedral.
Toe address, at the laying of the stone, was
made by Archbishop Hughes The bond
ing is to be a Gothic structure, on the plan
of a Latin cross, three hundred and twenty
eight feet long and one hundred and seventy
five feet wide. On each corner of the West
front there are to be towers, the North tower
to be capped with a high pointed roof, and
the Southern one to bear a lofty openivork
spire, three hundred and thirtythree feet in
height, from , the paventent to the cross. At
a distance of twenty.three, feet from the
centre, immense buttresses will rise on the
sides and rear, these are to be constructed
of solid masonry, and will sustain the arches
and vaulted roof. The church is to be en
tered by several flights of marble steps.
The material is not yet decided on. The
Archbishop , desires the building to endure
as long as any human work can last, and the
Architects have been engaged in testing the
merits of different kinds of stone during the
Summer. The vault of the roof will be of
masonry—the only one of any size in the
United States.
PHILADELPHIA.
The Revival News from this city ranks
among the matters of most interest. Of
ingatheringto the (burettes, which are the
true fold of Christ, we do not receive deft
mite statistics; but the attendance upon
means is very encouraging.
Our contemporaries, the American Pres.
byterian and Christian Observer, are still
much exercised on the subject of a remark
in the Princeton Review, which seemed to
favor a reception of the Confession of Faith,
for substance of doctrine. They try to be
jubilant, as though Princeton, whence the
New School have received many a hard
knock, had veered from the true standard,
and become their coadjutor. But they can
not get the thing quite right. All their
efforts to make Dr. Hodge a " substance of
doctrine" theologian, will be vain. They
may command the faith of a few of their
readers, but not of the pupils of this sound
instructor, nor of those who are habitually
familiar with the Review.
Rev. Alexander H. Talon, D. D, of St
Paul's church, Boston, hut accepted the call
of the Alvah of the Holy Trinity, (Prot

Words of Encouragement.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14, 1858
Rix Da MCKINNEY—Dear Sir :—I
was among the first to add my name to the i
subscription list of the Banner, and have
been a constant reader and careful observer
of your editorial skill and management.
It gives me great pleasure to add my word
of approval to the many you are continually
receiving, of the course the Banner has I
pursued on all subjects of importance to the
Church. You have, as I believe, done
great service in dealing fairly and frankly
triih your readers, whenever the occasion
required plainness of speech, and your debt
ors we are It is so much the custom of the
press to engage in all manner of jobs, re
quiring " whitmwashing," that we can
scarcely trust the fidelity even of our rekr
joys papers any more. Every thing has to ,
be taken with a certain degree of allowance.
Hence a truly honest, atraight-for ward course,
like that DI the Banner, gives us confidence
in it views and statements, and enables it
to exercise a volt influence. No one out.
aide of the atmosphere 'pervading the offi
eia/ centres here of'power, can feil to see
the propriety of the action you have taken,
both as regards the " frytrin Book" and the
"Associate Secretaryabiii." question. These
are plain, common sense irretters, that can
b. comprehended at a glanol t and nothing`
but the predetermination aulo,ng certain '
brethren to see things their owmway, and
cwmpel others to sec like thentseliies, wou'd
ee ,nion a word of disputation.
The truth is, men are human, end yirketh
er in Church or State, those who are clothed
with a ".-ate " brief authority," are apt to
fed an inipertance attached to themselves
arleing scat or the trust confided to them,
that usreettles their judgment, and t o often,
alas! vitiates their mural perceptions of
ritht read wrong. Instead of acting on the
ground that they are chosen merely as
.agents, to serve a certain object for a given
time, and that they are to accept the posi.
Lien with these cAulitions growing necessari
ty out of it, they assume to act just the reverse
.of this, and place themselves in the attitude
of Rulers spi,ing to give direction to their
employers, rather than be, as they should be,
' directed by them This is sapping the very
fouudati .n prinuiples of all true governtnen
tal authority, and must eventuate, if not re
slated and overcome in its incipiency, when
; ever and however manifested, in the sub
' version of truth and righteousness It was
by just such processes of aesurnption of
power, and by ju.t such unwarranted dicta
tion, the people yieldiug to th..re in contr .1
little by little, that the • early Christian
Churches were given over to the rule of
ambitious wicked men, and were final y en
gulphed and ruined by the Great Apostacy.
Yin do well, then, Mr Editor, to hold
fast to the "Standards" of the Church
within whose walls you have set up your
Banner " Be vigilant and faithful in do
fence of the tights of all laboring in their
respective millings Make no compromise
with error in any shape or form, fur the sake
at expediency. Let truth, justice, and
righteousuess, be sustained ,to the praise of
G-ud, though every man he made a liar.
You will nut be wanting in support. The
heart of the Christian public which is al.
ways right and with the- right,• will beat in
unison with,yours, and the Keeper of Israel
will grant you his approving smiles. But
the head needs constantly to be informed
and instructed. We "can't do without the
Banner or its like, in this day of universal
progress May its shade never grow less,
and the cause it sustains never be betrayed,
is the prayer of an humble ELDER.

MR. EDITOR :—The following paper was

tion the urgent demands made upnn the
Treasury of the Board ut Domestic Missions,
to assist in the support of feeble, struggling
churches—the sacredness of its funds, con
Whined often by the pnor, the widow, and
the children of the Church—the imperative
necessity of a judicious economy in the man•
agement of, its affairs, and the testimony of
many of those best acquainted with the prac•
tidal operations of the Board—therefore,
" Rerdved, That Presbytery disapprove
of the late action of the Board, in declining
to abolish the office of Associate Secretary.
" Resolved, That without reference to the
present incumbent, it is hereby recommend.

A Tribute of Respect.
At a meeting of the members of the Presbyte
rian congregation of Schellsbarg, in connection
with the, stone (Aura, the following resohitions
were unanimously adopted, viz :
Resolved, That whilst we humbly bow to the
will of Him in whose hands all our destinies are,
and meekly say, Father thy will be dune, we, at
the same time, deeply mourn the dispensation
which has taken from our midst, vlrs. Jemima
Williams, consort of our beiove pastor; one
who, though but a short time with us, we had all
learnt to love and reverence, for her humble, un
assuming and genuine piety, as well as for her
amiable disposition, her gentle bearing, and her
meek and quiet spirit, by which she attracted
many hearts, and won the kind regard of all who
became acquainted with her.
Resolved, That we, as a congregation, as well as
individually, do most sincerely and deeply sym
pathize with oar beloved pastor, Rev. Daniel Wil
liams, as well as with the friends and relatives of
the deceased, in their present bereavement; at the
same time, we are consoled with the assurance
that, the one we mourn for is now resting in the
bosom of the dear Saviour, whom she so faithfully
served, and would say to them who are mourning
her loss, weep not for me, weep for yourselves.
Resolved, That a copy of the above be forwarded
to the relatives of the deceased, and that the same
be published in the Pailadelphia Presbyterian.,
Presbyterian Banner and Advocate, and in our
county papers. J.,llllkEl Spirts, Chairman.

MR. EDITOR :-At the last meeting of the Board
of Managers, of the Allegheny City Bible Soci

of my labors (their agent) be furnished for pub
lication in the several religious and secular papers
of your city.
Within the last four months, I have visited in
succession, Stiarpsburg, Elfewartstown, Duquesne
Borough, Spring Garden, Troy Hill and Butcher's
Run ' toge th er with the greater part of the Third
and Fourth Wards of this city. The number of
families visited in the above places, are two thou
sand eight hundred and fi fty three, of which num
ber four hundred and fiftten were destitute of the
Bible; supplied one hundred and twenty-eight,
and have had two hundred and seventy positive re
fusals to receive the Word of Life.
It is my purpose during the present month to
visit Manchester; and in September to commence
the annual collections in this city for the present
year.
By publishing this brief report, you wilt confer
a favor on the Board of Managers, in common
with h eir agent. ROBERT DAVIE,

Minutes of the Assembly.
DR. MOKINNEY:—Our Ministers and Elders,
who have not obtained the Minuses of the last Gen

perhaps, in many cases, not aware that hey are

Knowing that many who neglected, or were
unable to avail themselves of the usual custom of

lieving that our Church Sessions would derive
much gratifying information by the possession of
this unusually interesting document, I respect

Rejoicings.
The successful laying of the Atlantic Telegraph
is an event of absorbing interest,. It has caused
at burst of joy throughout our whole land—yea,
throughout the civilized world. To enumerate
places, demonstrations, fetes, Ste , &o, in cities,
towns, and country places, and by all kinds of
people, and'all manner of clubs and associations,
would be utterly impracticable.
Suffice it to say, for Pittsburgh, that we received
the first tidings with great philosophic calmness;
not wishing to hollow before we were surely out of
the woods. And even when the Queen's message
arrived, giving evidence that all things were
right, we still kept up our sense of propriety.
But we are however not an unemotional people.
We feel, and feel deeply; and < what we do, we
mean to de, and do it in real earnest. Accord
ingly, it wa s duly resolved that on Thursday,

Lands in Nebraska.
ALEXANDER F. Wliugsny, who advertises in
our columns, informs us that the public sale of
Government lands in Nebraska Territory, which
commences on the 6th of September, 1858, at the
following Laud Offices, viz : Brownville, Nebraska
'City, and Omaha—will continue for two 'weeks.
The lands are of the beet quality, and none of
'them are more than twenty five miles West of the
Mi.sonri River. Most of the timbered land has
been preempted by settlers ; but choice tracts of
prairie lands can be secured close to timber at the
sales.
The country is well watered, and the soil can
not be surpassed fur agricultural purposes. Lands
entered' during the sate, will have to be paid for in
gold or . Treasury notes. After the sale, Land
Warrants can be used. He has plate and notes
of the lands. MI lauds located by him will be
selected by competent land examiners. Any por
ton forwarding Warrants, may rest assured of
getting a choice location.
His fees for looating lands are, (including Land
Office fees,) fir one hundred and sixty acres,
$l9 00; one hundred and twenty acres, $16.00;
'eighty acres, $ll 00; and forty acres, $7.00.

Electoral Vote in 1860.
Before the next Presidential Election three new
.istate,, additional to those voting in 1866, will
have been admitted, viz: Minnesota, already in
the Union, with Kansas and Oregon to' come in
next Winter. In 1866 the whole numb& of elec
toral votes was two hundred,anil ninety six; with
the above-mentioned new States, the whole num
'her in 1860 will be three hundred and six. Of
this number, one hundred and lifty-fortr will be
'required for a majority. And of the three hun
'deed and six electoral votes, one hundred and
- twenty will belong to the Slave States, and one
'hundred and eighty six to the Free States. The

"The practical inference from this law is,
that a telegraphic communisation on the electrie

this projectivill be realized.'

NEW YoRK, November 20, 1852.
, Knowing from experience, the valuable qualities
of Dr. ll'Lane's Vermifuge and Liver Pills, pre
pared by Eleming Bros., Pittsburgh, I have for
sometime back considered it my duty„'and made
it my lusiness, to make those articles known
wherever I went among my friends. A short time
ago I became acquainted with the oaseof a. young
girl, who seemed to be troubled with worms and
liver complaint at the' same' thin, and had been
suffering for some two Months. Through my per
stttion ehe purchased one bottle of Dr. JP Lane's
Vermifuge, and one box of Liver Pills, which she
took according to directions. The result was,
she passed a large quantity of worms, and thinks
that one box more of the Pills will restore her to
perfect health Her name and. residence can be
learned by calling on E. L. Theall,Druggist, cor

often painful, was, borne with patience ; yet for

The subject of this brief memoir : was enabled,
Arough the grace ,tg , (loft, about two yearn ago,
to make a public profession:Ofterzfaithin.,.this
church, under the ministry of Mr. Woods, now
in Columbus, Ohio. This youthful disciple was
possessed of a strong and vigorous mind, and
clear head, accompanied with a very frank,
warm hearted, and noble disposition, ever hating
what is evil, and loving what is good. She took
a lively interest in the prosperity of Zion—much
greater than is often seen in Christians of three
times her age. On the approach of her dissolu
tion, she hastily summoned her sister and broth
ers, and warned them and besought them to lose
no time in " giving their hearts to God," and
spake of that happiness and joy which she had
experienced when she was enabled to do that
which she now; in this her last dying request, so
earnestly urged upon them. Shortly afterwards
she said, " I know well to whom I am going, and
I know just as well that He never will cast me
out." A.S.
Dian—July 16th, 1868, Mrs. JANA gamut;
consort of James Quigley. Esq., of Franklin
Township, and daughter of the late Robert 'Rob
inson, Sr., of Kittanning Borough.
Mrs. Quigley, from her youth, was quite se
date, and somewhat inclined to seriousness. The
usual amusements and recreations of young per
sons had no attractions for her. They could not
give that enjoyment to her which it is'alleged they
confer on the votaries of pletisuri.' Mrs.*Qnigley
was a constant attendant on religious meetings.
In the church and prayer lneeting She was present
almost always, when the circumstances of her
family 'permitted iL She was admitted to Mem
bership in the First Presbyterian church of kit
tanning in November, 1840, and continued in
communion with that church till her death; ek
hibiting a walk and conversation, consistent with
ber profession—very exemplary, and entirely
blameless. For some time past, . Mrs. Quigley
had been afflicted with a bad tumor, which gave
herself, and her, friends who knew her case, ; pain
ful apprehensions of the result, which now has
been realized.. ,This tumor, in connexion, with
• the enlargement of the liver, proved fatal. She
was, however, able to superintend her domestic
affairs, and to go abroad, till within three weeks
of her death. ' '
Early last Spring she was visited by her pas
tor, and gave him great satisfaction as to her
views of the nature , and, importance of revived
religion;: of her personal interest In it, and her
willingness to pray:•for others, and encourage
them to attend to the , duties of religioM as
recommended by thePitstoral Letter orthe late
Conventionof ministers and elders held in Pitts:
burgh. Soon after this visit, - s: 3 series of union'
meetings were held in the First Presbyterian, the
Episcopal, and Mithodistehurchei of Kittinningo
and - Mis. Quigley attended in 'the 'clinrches,
and'took a deep interest in the exercises: 'this
inMreAing fact Is now mentioned in order to,
show her increased desire for progress in experi
mental religion in her own soil, and also in the,
souls of other persons, and to,show Bhp bad union
and fellowship with all who loved
,the Lord Jesus
Christ, and called upon his , name It appears,
that her light shone brighter and brighter, till
the perfect day of eternal glory beamed on her
ransomed spirit. Her death is lamented by asur 7 ,
vivirig husband, three children, ,two, ; sisters, and
many relatives and ,connexions; and by the com
munity, that manifested deep sympathy and be
coming respect by the number that attended her
funeral.. .- P.
