    'y/special and private communications, as
aabstantially given h the Times, the can
ning and trickery of the Chinese Emperor
and his officials, and the triumph of
Lord Elgin's firmness over all their at,
tempts to deceive, acme out very strikingly.
When the allies, in possession of Tien•sin,
threatened the capital itself, the Emperor
neat down two Chinese Ministers of -high
rank. They declared themselves to be
"Plenipotentiaries," and on the faith of
this, Lord Elgin went in grand procession
to confer with them. When, however, the
edict was read, it was to the effect that the
demands of the strangers were only to be
granted, if they did not infringe on the
customs of China. If they did, they were
to be referred back to the Emperor. Where
upon, Lord Elgin ordered his chair in stern
displeasure, and be went off with a guard of
honor, and loud playing of the British band.
This was act the first of impudence and du
plicity. They falsely pretended to have full
powers, and they had fuller powers behind,
but they concealed them.
The neat act was similar. Keying, who
in 1942 deceived Sir H. Pottioger, was sent
down to confound the barbarians. He tried
to get the ships moved "ever so little way"
down the river, and secretly instigated the
populace to stone and insult the British.
But a band of tars scaled the ("ate of the
city, drove in the Tartar guard, rot in a hun
dred marines, and with six howitzers,
marched through the streets. Besides this,
it is said that Keying intrigued " with the
Americans and the Russians;" the former
urging him to demand from the British the ,
abolition of the opium trade, : (a"very good
thing if it can be effected,) and the ltus.
shins doing their utmost to prevent any Eu
ropeans, except themselves, residing at the
capital.
Keying, however, was found out by a
document, discovered among the papers of
Yeb, at Canton, to have been a deceiver be.
fore, ae to the Treaty of Nankin, which he
had described as a mere snare to delude the
barbarians. This was read by an English
interpreter aloud, to the two first officials,
who hated Keying, and at once sent the
news to the Emperor The latter, finding
his deceit discovered, and full of fears, re
called Keying, and authorized his Commis
sioners to sign a letter promising a treaty
granting all Lord Elgin's demands. The
conditions are : Ist. The residence of a
British Minister at Tien-sin, with access to
the Court of Pekin, and an English College,
similar to that of Russia, at the capital.
2d. China to be opened to all the world, and
free intercourse with the interior, by the
passport system. 3d. The Yangtze to be
opened to its commerce, from its mouth to
its source. 4th. Christianity to be tolerated.
sth. Indemnity for the war, and losses at
Canton, (England's share, it is thought, will
be £5,000,000.) The tariff and customs to
IA revised, and piracy suppressed. 6th.
'A special Chinese Embassy to the Queen; to
be sent forthwith.
iN FRANCE, the Protestants are suffering
'fresh oppressions. Mr. Couillard, member
of the Protestant Consistory. at Lille, has
cent a letter to the Debate, detailing the
acts. Protestant worship was celebrated
or the first tir4Q at Maubeuge, a ,year ago,
~ y Presbyterial authority, and under the
auction of law. It was a recognized and
rmanent worship of the Reformed Church
France. It was conducted most peace
ably, when, en the 22c1 of August, the Com
missary of Police announced to the mem
'bled people and their pastor, a decree of the
'Prefect, quashing the municipal authoriza
tion, gendarmerie entered and arrested the
minister and three of his flock, and, to the
astonishment of the population, weed carried
to prison. They were soon offered their
personal liberty; hut they refused to leave
the prison for four days, until they addressed
a remonstrance to the Procureur General,
and the Minister of Justioe. It is clear
that the secret machinations of Jesuitism is
the cause of this. The liberty of worship
is not restored, and the Protestants of the
seven cantons of Avesnes are, at the present
moment, deprived of the exercise of their
religion by the State. AU the London pa.
pers have given prominence to this shameful
affair, and if redress is given by the Em
peror, it will be with a bad grace, and from
a desire to avoid further agitation. Not
that he cares for Popery versus Protestant.
ism, but because he pampers the former as
his tool, while he dislikes the latter as too
weak to help, and too independent in its
genius to love a despot. And so there is
forthwith to be dispatched an expedition to
Cochin China, to avenge the murder of
come Papal missionaries, and to secure free
access for the future. More than this. I
observe that French priests are setting out
on a proselytizing mission to the Sandwich
Island'. American missionaries there have
probably a day of trial before them. The
'ttempt may be wade to thrust in the priests
under the frowning mouths of a ship's
fattery, and to re enact, if they dare, the
oppressions inflicted on Tahiti and Queen
Oomare. As a further illustration of perse
cution in France, I may mention the case
.1 a working man, a Belgian, who had been
the means of awakening religious interest
snong Iris fellow-workmen at Vallenaiennes,
as been expelled the country.

TEE ham ASSEMBLY "has been bolding
a special meeting at Belfast, in connexion
with the appointment, by the Government,
of Presbyterian Chaplairis for the Army.
There has been a recent enlargement of
both Roman Catholic and Presbyterian
.chaplaincies for soldiers. There are fifty
five Epis c opalian Chaplains. It is'proposed
Ito appointfive Presbyterian Assistant ehep•
lains, though I believe this number will be
practically much larger, by the recognition
of Free Church ministers at military stations
in the Mediterranean, and of English Pres
byterian ministers at Woolwich, Plymouth,
and other places io Great Britain. The
number of Presbyterian soldiers in the army
is very considerable. Including wives and
children, sixty-thousand souls would need
spiritual instruction, from ministers of their
own Church. The nomination of two of
the Government chaplaincies was given to
the Irish Assembly, but in point of fact,
two had already had their names recom
mended to the War Department, before
the Assembly met at Derry, in July. These
were supposed to be personal friends of Dr.
Cooke, who, as a consistent Conservative all
his life, naturally has weight at the War
Office. But when the Assembly met, in
July, the nomination of these parties was
resented, and ignored by a large majority,
and, nem. con., two others were recom
mended. It 'so happened that these two
gentlemen--Dr. Goudy and Mr. Rogers—
had, honestly and zealously, taken a very
active part in the Tenant-Right agitation,
and were strong Liberals. When, there
fore, their names were sent up to the Gov
ernment, General Peel objected to their
appointment, on the gr.und that all the
resolutions of the last Assembly had not
been sent forward, and also, that the As
sembly was not unanimous in their recom
mendation of the parties above mentioned.
Dr. Cooke had, at Derry, spoken against,
and was known not to favor these gentle
men, and wished others to be appointed.
But in point of fact, and legally, the vote
was unanimous; and so, kty a large majority,
the Assembly has now affirmed. If the
question were to appoint the four, including
the two obnoxious members, even then Dr.
C. could, he says, object, and he read a long
list of ministers, (these gentlemen's names
omitted,) from whom he suggested the Gov
ernment might be asked to select. But as
things stand, the. Assembly are at issue with
the Government, and it remains to be seen
whether, in the face of the Assembly, either
there shall be made no appointments at all,
or else appointments unAnctioned by the
Church. Presbyteries, in that case, would
be instructed not to loose the ministers from
their charges, and thus spiritual indepen
dence of the State, would be asserted in a
new and unexpected form. It is to be la
mented, that strife has thus arisen among
brethren, and that the ashes of fires almost
extinguished, should have been stirred up.
Dr. Goody, during the discussion, an
nounced his retirement from the eandida
ture, Mr. Rogers insisted on his claim, and
the final vote of the Assembly recommend
that gentleman, and Mr McHinch, minis
ter at Dundalk, to the Government. Mr.
Rogers—however much he may be objected
to on the ground of Tenant-Right agitation,
and speeches which, as I believe, were un
necessarily caustic and severs—has, with
Dr. Goudy, been pre-eminently the means
of discovering, exposing, and defeating, the
machinations of the Episcopal Chaplain-
General at the War Office, to prevent Irish
Presbyterian soldiers,' if possible, from re
ceiving instruction from their own ministers.
IVIR SPURGEON'S Vigil' to Belfast, and
his bold assertion of the doctrines of Calvin
ism versus Arminianism, and Trinitarianism
against Arianism, naturally provoked bitter
antagonistic feeling. The Northern Whig,
the semi-infidel paper, and a great favorite
with Unitarians, misrepreFented and carica-
tured his sermon. Dr. Montgomery, the
leader of the Arian party, afterwards
preached a sermon on the text, " I speak
as unto wise men," &0., in which he made
an attaok on Calvinism, not forgetting to
misrepresent, also, the doctrine of justifica
tion by faith, as setting men free from the
obligation of morality, and grounding the
whole on the absurd but usual falsehood,
that Calvinists exalt reason above faith.
Dr_ Cooke, nearly thirty years, was the
champion of orthodoxy, and met and over
threw Montgomery in the memorable Synod
of Lurgan, in 1829. Then followed the
secession of the Rrians, the Union, in 1840,
of the two Presbyterian Synods into one
Assembly, the establishment of missions—
Home, Colonial, Jewish, Foreign—and an
extension and consolidation of Presbyterian,
ism in Ulster, on the glorious basis of the
Westminster Standards, such as had made
Irish Presbyterians, vigorous and powerful;
in truth the Church in Ireland, emphati
daily full of vigor, and rich in promise of
great blessings to the world.
Unitarianism continues to decline in Ul
ster, although it numbers still a portion of
the wealthier mercantile class, and is the
rallying ground for your qunsi•ecleotio and
wattled° gentlemen, who affect Latitudina
rianism, and "free inquiry," and are very
tolerant in every thing but truth.
Montgomery's attack on Mr. Spurgeon.
and his doctrines, has called out Dr. Cooke
in reply. The latter was asked to give a
short public critique, at a social musical
meeting, on the comparative merits and the
characteristics of Spurgeon and Guinness,
(a young Irishman,) as preachers Dr. C.
consented, but, in the meantime, Montgom
ery's attack . bad been made on Calvinism
through the sides of Mr. Spurgeon. Where.
upon the old Lion of Orthodoxy came forth
in his pristine power, and after characteriz
log and analyzing the respective merits of
the two young, preachers, the main body of
his address was a masterly exposure of
Montgomery's misrepresentations, and of
his total ignorance of true Pauline and
Scriptural theology, and a magnificent argu
ment for the truth of all the leading points
of Evangelical doctrine. In this he followed
Montgomery, step by step, and the effect of
the publication and wide circulation of the
address, must be of the happiest description.
My space forbids me to give you more than
this cursory notice of it, at least at present.
I now subjoin Dr. Cooke's estimate of Spur
geon and Guinness :
When we see such a youth as Mr. Guinness
take his place in the pulpit, and when we see him
open the Bible, and when, at all events, without
the appearance of preparation, we find him pour
forth an extemporaneous sermon, flowing with
the brightness of water in a river, and when we
taste the quality of that. water, and find it flows
,from the Fountain of eternal life, must we not
rejoice in seeing that God has raised up such a
young man, and given him talents of the highest
order,at a comparatively early period of life. And
when we see such a young man as Mr. Spurgeon
in like manner raised up. and when we find him
pouring forth a stream of logical demonstration
and of Scriptural illustration, in the midst of
statements of facts, continually bringing the
great truths of the Gospel before us, must we not
thank God, and take courage; and must not
even those who disagree with some of his doc
trines, bless God that be has raised up a man
with such energy and such eloquence as can
attract the great atal the mighty and the noble of
the land around his pulpit, as well as the vast
c^owds of the London streets, that hang upon the
wondrous words that are falling from his lips. I
have said already that - comparisons are odious,
and, therefore, I will not make any. All that I
can say is this—in Mr. Guinness you find con
stant appeals to the feelings most successfully
urged ; in Mr. Spurgeon yO4-find as constant ap
peals to the understanding as successfully urged,
and in both, though you may differ from them in
some of their doctrines, or in any of them, you
see an energy, you see a seal, and you see a deter.
urination to be in earnest. I have formed an es
timation with regard to those two young men,
and r do not hesitate to deliver it. I have heard
better orators than either of them. I have lis.

tened to the pictorial and spirit-stirring eloquence
of Chalmers; I have listened to the burning elo
quence of Edward Irving; I have listened to the
profound metaphysical eloquence of a Candlish;
I have listened to the gigantic eloquence, if I may
so speak, of Andrew Thompson; I have listened,
with entranced mind; to the outpourings of a
Guthrie; I have heard, I say more eloquent
men, but have never heard better preachers then
either of them—men preaching from the heart to
the heart; and I think that even those who differ
from them, and some evidently do differ from
some of the opinions which they expressed, will
admit their being in !cornea. I think the judg
ment of charity will come to the conclusion that
I have come to—the conclusion that each is not
only apparently, but really in earnest; and I
trust that, even those who do not cordially agree
with them in their doctrine, will join in praying
that the Lord of the harvest would send forth
more such laborers into his harvest.
One regrets, after reading and herring of
such noble testimonies for the truth and its
exponents, by Dr. Cooke, that he should
ever• be involved in controversy and debate
with his own brethren.
THE WILL OF THE Duca:ass OF OR.
LEANS has been published, and is a sterling
document. She was evidently a woman of
piety and principle. She first commends
her soul to the mercy of God, " in the name
of Jesus Christ," and afterwards solemnly
charges her son, the Count de Paris, to hold
fast his principles and his claims, as the
legitimate heir to the French throne. As
the Times says, this kind of opposition to
Louis Napoleon, is a useful check on his
absolutism. Who knows what may be in
the womb of the future for France ?
The CHANNEL ISLANDS have been united
with England by a telegraph cable. From
Alderney, Cherbourg is visible. No French
fleet could move out, or even prepare to do
so, without its being known in Portsmouth
in five minutes.
A NEW MIRACLE , of an apparition of the
Virgin, at a town in the Pyrenees, is being
written up by the Univers. A Scotch paper
reminds Cardinal Wiseman, that Ireland
has got beyond her "holy wells," while .
France is just starting them into existence.
P. S.—The Bishop of Oxford has ap
pointed a Commission of InquirY into the
truth of the charges against Mr. West. It
is a solemn farce. The Bishop of London—
an honest man—refuses to restore his license
to Mr. Poole, of St. Barnabas, who was
offered another curacy in London.

The Crystal Palace Destroyed by Fire.
_ New 'Vona, Oct. 6.—The .Crystal Palace was
destroyed by fire, this afternoon. The fire broke
out in the lumber room, whielt Rae filled with
empty boxes, and.a large quantity of old lumber.
It in believed to ,
be the work of an incendiary.
When the flames were first discovered, the palace
engine was brought out, but the hose was so full
of holes that it was perfectly useless.
The flames spread with astonishing rapidity,cre
ating an extensive excitement among the visitors.
of whom it is estimated upwards of ten thousand
were present. It is feared that many were killed ;
one dead body has been taken out. The heat was
intense. The services of the firemen were of no
avail. The whole building is in ruble. But a very
small portion of the contents was saved. Two,
only, of the many fire engines on exhibition, were
got out uninjured, The building was crowded
with articles on exhibition, of every possible de
scription. It is impossible to estimate the loss
with accuracy. The building itself is estimated
to have been worth $250,000. The contents must
have been warth double that amount.
Ocean navigation is attended with great risks,
even in the best of vessels. The Austria, lately
destroyed by fire, at sea, was one of the best of
iron steamers, but it seems that being iron. built
is no security. There must of necessity be a large
amount of wood in the interior structure, ever
subjecting the vessel to destruction by fire.

a few years, is mournful :

What the New York City Folks Say of
Dr. MlLdne's Celebrated Vernafuge,
74"ANRYAOTURED BY YIJIMING BROB.
NEW
,Youtc, August 25, 1852
This is to certify that I am well acquainted,
with a man fifty years of age, for many years a
resident of this city. who has been at- times e.g. 7
tremely ill, but could not tell from what cause,
unless it was worms. He told his attending
physician his suspicions, but the physician at once
ridiculed the idea, and refused to attend him any
longer. His son then mentioned Dr. &Plane's
Vermlfuge, and asked him if he would take it;
his reply was—l must take something to get re
lief, or die.
They at once procured a bottle of Dr. APLane's
Celebrated Vermifuge, and he took one half at one
dose. The result was, he passed upwards of three
quarts of worms, cut np in every forma He got
well immediately, and is now enjoying most er
Mint health ; and, like the good Samiritan of
old, is endeavoring to relieve his Unfortunate
neighbors. He makes it his business to hunt up
and select all cases similar to his own, that may
be given over by regular physicians, and induces
them to try Dr. M'Lane's Vermifage. So far he
has induced more than twenty persons to take the
Vermifuge, and in every case with the most hap
py results. He is wall satisfied that Dr. M'Lane's
Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros. of Pitts
burgh, is far superior to any other known remedy.
and that if more generally known would not fail
to sae many valuable lives. For further partic
ulars inquire of Mrs. Hardie, 124} Cannon
Street, New York City.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR. M'
LANE'S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGIE,• menu.
factored by FLEMING BROS. of PITTSBURGH,
P. All other Vermifuges in comparison are
worthless. Dr. lil'Lane's genuine Vermifuge,
also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be bad at
all respectable drug stores. None genuine without

of the:Presbyterian church of Apple Creek, Ohio,
and since their removal to this region, had united
with the church of New Lancaster. In both
places the light of a consistent profession of faith
had shined from them, on those around.; so that
they have left behind them a sweet savor of god

period to the time of her death, she labored to
maintain a consistent Christian ; first, at
her residence with and near her father; next, for
eleven years at Perryopolis, and for the last twelve
years of her life, at the place of her death.
Throughout her life, she was a faithful counselor,
- a fast friend, a devoted wife, and a guileless fol

affliction, in 'which she thought mach' and spoke
