FATHER VENTURA, is a celebrated Jesuit,
an Italian by birth. Very eloquent,
y Ultramontane, is the "Father," and
characteristics marked his sermons de
'cud, in Lent last, as Court preacher. In
2se sermons, before the French Court, the
caner' Monk boldly broaches and maintains
the complete supremacy of the Church,
quond the State. The Univers has en
dorsed the whole of his views. The ser•
zoons are published. The object evidently
is to destroy the last remnant of the inde
pendence of the Galilean Church, and to
secure a Concordat with Rome, such as
tyrannizes over Austria at this hour, and es
has just led the young Emperor cruelly and
wickedly to deny an independent exist
ence and Synodal power to the Protestant
Church in Hungary—thus imperiling its
very existence. (The cruelty was all the
greater, as encouragement had been given,
as to a different result.)
Father Ventura, like the Cardinal, can
talk something very like blasphemy, in his
zeal. He tells the Emperor, and the rest of
his august audience, that the old French
Monarchy perished because ,the predecessors
of Louis XIV., loosened the golden chain
which bound the Throne to St. Peter's .
Chair; that the Revolution perished be
cause it was "the reign of Satan ;"• that
the first Empire perished, because it "allied
itself with the Revolution against the
Church ;" adding, with a flattering tongue,
that "God deposited in its (the Empire of
the First Napoleon's) tomb a germ of life
by the side of the trophies of death, and
only destroyed it that it might rise again."
. Next, he affirms that the Restoration per.
billed because "its only thought of religion
was, to how to control it." The Government
of July perished because it proclaimed po.
litical atheism, and said, we are a Govern
ment which does not go to Confession.
Then comes the blasphemy. From so many
heaps of ruins, the Empire was resuscitated.
It had its type in the Resurrection of Christ,
and its "conditions" were the same. 1.
As the Pharisees, in their uneasiness, sealed
up Christ's tomb, so did diplomacy try to
seal up the Empire; hut in both cases pre
' caution was vain. 2 As Christ arose more
glorious than before he was laid in the tomb,
so is it with the renovated Empire ! 3. Au
every true resurrection has something in it
Divine and sacred, so the first Empire
having been consecrated by " the august
• hand" of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, this
virtue of God, which all its faults could
not utterly efface, served for the seed of
- resurrection.
The preacher then tells his Imperial au
ditor (sitting yonder in the Chapel of the
Tuilleries, you will observe, next to the in
genuous faced Eugenie, with face impasse.
ble and impenetrable,) that the Empire can
only live by its chiefs being subordinate to
the sceptre of God and his laws. "Theoc
racy" must hold " Czesarism" in its arms,
as a mother does the child
Such is the " new policy" the Jesuits,
by their mouth•plece, seek to inaugurate.
The State henceforth intact be the Church,
and the Church the State. The Pope is
Suzerain ova all crowns. Peoples and
Sovereigns, or the Pope—one of the three
—must rule. Peoples rule, and all will be
anarchy; Kings rule, and the age of Nero
will be revived; the Pope rule, and the
golden age--;gatiernia: regna—comes back
again !
Father Ventura gays that whore there is
Protestantism, authority, and law's suprem
acy, authority cannot be had out of the
Catholio Church. Then what is the reason
that there is "authority" in England 1' 06,
replies the Jesuit, all that in Eogland re
mains of faith and respect for authority "is
nothing more nor less than Catholicism.
These prodigal , children, in leaving the
Church, took away with them some frog
menta of Catholic belief ; all that they yet
believe is Catholic ) and their Protestantism
(amanita in what they refuse to believe."
Worthy of Loyola, truly, is such an are
gumption. Substitute the Bible and its
religion for the Pope and his Church, and it
is true that " authority" .and the reign of
law and order in England and in the United
States, owe their existence to them. If, as
admitted, they ilo exist, in spite of all our
denials, and negations, and refusals to be-
Feve, why Protestantism, after all, nenserves
the good, and " Cm+ariste" may make "a
Republican President" all possible, while yet
religion lives and thrives ! As Rome labors
bard to 'have it—as Hildebrand had it once,
his foot on the neck of Geirmy—the Em
pire of night and darkness threatens Europe
again. But even in France this will not be.
As a writer in the Debati a qs, " Father
Ventura will not resuscitate Gregory VII.
The age of ghosts is over."
The AGE OF SUAMS, as this is sometimes
called, receives many illustrations at.present.
I might refer to rite amaziog success of
quackery and quack medicines, (John Bull
being as gullible, in this respect, as any
other "representative" man,) or to the
sham philanthropy which animates Crystal
Palace shareholders, and River Excursion
steamboat proprietors to try and swell their
dividends by an intensely urgent diffusion
of information as to their sympathy with
working men and their wives. But there
are shams on a larger scale. Barnum is
here in England, Vying to do a little busi.
ness with " General Tom Thumb," and the
"Sunday League" gets up a Sabbath Ex.
onrsion to Epping Forest, with a Lecture on
Botany, and has a nice little slice, no doubt,
out of the proceeds, (per agreement with
the Railway Directors,) which will help to
supply their empty treasury. Then we have
a great "sham." Benjamin Disraeli busy,
in some rural retreat, getting ready a new
Reform Bill, which he hopes will keep the
Whigs out for a generation, and bamboozle
the R,dicals, while it pleases the Landocraoy,
and gives it the real power. Next we have
the "sham" school of Protestants—the
Bishops of Oxford, Exeter, with'Reverends
Messrs Gressley & Co., and the Union
newspaper,
the Clerical Journal, the Eng.
lish Churchman, et hoc genus omne. And
I fear there is still lingering among our.
Dissenting Colleges and students, an affecta
tion after fine phrases and anti-dogmatic ut
terances, which, with professions of still
adhering to " the old paths," is little better
than • a "sham." But the greatest and
most successful of the professors of this art,
is undoubtedly Louis Napoleon. He seems
to blind the population of every Province
he enters, and by flattering their vanity, he
fools them to the top of their bent. Thus,
he has the bad taste—as respects England,
but the cunning as to France—of ordering
a monument to be erected of a little skir
mish, in old war times, where some English
were surprised and cut off. This was to
,please the people near the coast, whom he
lately visited. The Times, in the same ar
ticle in which it. deals with the Cardinal,
makes merry over this little affair, and re
minds the world that the Emperor forgets
not to record, by a memorial pillar at Cher
bourg, the burning of a whole fleet there
by Lord Howe, and other affairs of the
same kind. It simply unmasks the Em
peror's de'sign, or "sham," and leaves Eu
rope to laugh at leisure.
Reality, however, there is. Your read
ers know that where there is the counterfeit
American dollar, or eagle, the existence and
value of the sterling and real one are implied.
Muck earnestness there is in religion, and
really earnest superstition there is ; but above
and beyond both, there are tokens that real
earnestness, heaven born and truth inspired,
exists and spreads. Exeter Hall is every
Lord's-day evening filled by an audience, to
the best and ablest of the Evangelical Epis
copalian clergy. Ryle's sermon on " Re
pentance," preached there lately—doctrin
ally, a protest alike against Antinomianism,
Pelagianism, and Romanism, and practically,
telling, awakening, powerful, was a noble
utterance of earnestness. Its circulation
by tens of thousands, will provoke earnest
ness.
In like manner, meetings for united prayer
oontinue here and elsewhere. In Aber
deed at the Annual Cattle Shoiv, twenty
five thousand tracts were given away, chiefly
by converted gentlemen of rank, and many
of them were placed in the hands of their
brother landed proprietors. A dailrprayer
meeting was then instituted at Aberdeen,
and continues to be largely attended. At
Glasgow there is a movement of a similar
kind. In many congregations, where there
is no excitement, the Word is proving itself
quickening to the dead, and real Christians
enjoy religion, and ministers preach with a
freshness and power unknown for years.
May this spirit multiply and grow a thousand
fold !
There has been, during the last twelve
months, a remarkable work of grace in con
nexion with Wesleyanism, near Huddersfield,
in Yorkshire. About three thousand mem•
hers have been added. to the churches.
There are, too, " Cottage Readings," and
other special means to bring the Gospel to
the poor, which have been greatly blessed.
The labors of Miss Marsh—the author of
the " Life of Hedley Vicars," and " Eng
lish Hearts and Hands" —are greatly
blessed in this way. She holds "Readings"
in .a barn near the house of her brother-
in.law, the Rector of Beckenham in Kent,
and her words of exposition accompanying
the pure Word of God read, and her mar
vellous power in prayer, melt and win num
bers. Among the Navvies of the railways,
as " English Hearts" show, her labors have
been an incalculable blessing. A fresh little
work from her pen, " A Word to the Line,"
(referring to the railway men,) contains the
story of a young Navvic; l brought to Christ
by one of the readings, of his decision, of
his maiming by a fearful.,a cc ident, and of
his dying experience. NOCr have I read
any thing more, I might afinost say so touch
ing and powerful., This remarkable lady,
rich in gifts and , grace, has been, and is, a
blessing beyond telling, to nobles, officers,
ladies of rank, as well as the poor, by the
living voice speaking words in season ; and
as fo r her writings, they have doubtless
quickened many who were dead, and roused
to intenseet earnestness, the missionary zeal
of God's people. Published but. ; a very

P. S —There are some fears of a partial
outbreak among the Sikh troops in our pay.
Sir J. Lawrence had no other resource but
to enlist them, and thus Delhi was taken,
and India awed. The Gwalior Rebels have
been again beaten by General Roberts. Dr.
Duff denies that a spirit of "
nate vengeance" prevails at Calcutta. Eng
land, by her journals, has always underrated
the extent of disaffection. But upwards of
jwenty•six thousand troops have been dis
patched to the four Presidencies this year.

ytttos pepartmtnt,
Tuesday of this week was the great day, in
civil affairs, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and several
other States. The telegraph has furnished many
dispatches, at the time of our gcdng to press, but
it cannot give returns in full.
In Ohio, the Opposition seem to have somewhat
increased their strength.
From Indiana, a few dispatches speak favorably
for the Opposition.
Partial reports have arrived_ from all the prin.
cipal placee in Pennsylvania; The general
features are very favorable to the Opposition,
under the various epithets of Republican, Anti-
Lecompton, and People's Tioket. A few days
will furnish details, and proclaim on which side
the victory has been gained.
In our own region, the Republicans are in the
ascendant. Gen. Moorhead is elected to Con
gress by a majority of about 2,000, and Mr.
McKnight by about 1,200 majority. Mr. Read,
for Supreme Judge, has, in the County, about
3,000 majority. Patterson, for Commissioner,
has a majority of about 1,500.
In the Westmoreland district, Covode is re•
'elected.

The Ootober number of this monthly is pecu
liarly rich. It contains eighteen selections from
the best British and Irish Journals. " The Pro
gress and Spirit of Physical Science," and,
" White's Eighteen Centuries," are peculiarly
valuable. All who would attain to and keep up
a reasonable acquaintance with Science, Litera
ture and the Arts, in their present state and rapid
progress, should possess the Eclectic. It is pub
lished by W. B. Bidwell, No. 6, Beekman Street,

Explosion at Havana.
A terrible disaster occurred in this city, on the
29th ult. From some unknown cause, the naval
magazine, containing an immense quantity of
powder, shells and rockets, was exploded, shaking
the whole city, and causing a great loss of life.
Twenty-eight persons were killed, and' one hun
dred and five wounded. Many others Elie sup

DIED-At ber residence : i n Westmoreland Co.,
Pa., August Oth, 1858, Mrs. MARY J. &ma,
wife of A:R. Smith, aged 83 years.
This very estimable lady gave decided evidence
of piety for a number of year's. In the prospect
of certain death. and amidst - intense bodily
sufferings, her faith failed not. She was enabled
composedly to separate from a `tender 'infant, a
husband, and other beloved friends,: sweetly ac
quiescing in the will of God.
DIED—At the residence of their father John
Brown, Esq., of Fayette County, Pa., January
9th, AINA, and January 29th, ADE, aged two
years.
These sweet twin babes were early consecrated
to Christ in the ordinFmce of Christian baptism,
and it is our joy and confidence that when Christ
shall again appear on earth, these little ones
" shall he bring with him."
Drun—At Byron, Ogle. County, El. October
2d, 1858, Mrs. REBECCA, wife of Mr. John
Kozier, after a few hours suffering, aged a 2 years.
'Mrs. K was a daughter of Mr. John Bull, for
merly of Perry County, Pa. She was among
those who united, three years ago, to organize
the Presbyterian church of " Middle Creek," and
is the first called to leave 'it by the Master. She
.first professed religion in the church of Millers
town, Pa. ' W.P.C.
Kishacoquillas Valley, Mifflin Co.,
Pa., Septemberlsth, after a abort illness, of dysen
tery, NANNIA ARGYLE, only child of A. W. and M.
T. Campbell, aged 23 months, wanting 5 days.
Afflicted and bereaved parents mourn not as
those who have no hope, for " it is well with the
child."' Oar common Saviour has called for your
little one, and she hearkened and heard the kind
Shepherd's voice, and has gone to be forever
with the Lord. , Her voice is heard .no more
around the domestic hearth, but her infant tongue
is tuned to sing the praises of redeeming love,
with the blood washed throng of little children
around the throne above. Thither, dear parents,
you may go, and meet again the one from whom
you so lately parted, never more to be separated.
DIED—On the morning, of September 10th,
1858, in donee County, lowa, Miss MARy LEACH,
in the 38th year of his age.
Less then a year ago, she removed= from the
ahurch -of Leatherwood, Pa., where, at an early
age, she professed Christ, and subsequently, :for
many years, maintained the Christian life.
Amongst strangers, she sought the society of
God's people, and promptly connected with the
church of Scotch Grove. With great resignation
to the will of her heavenly Father, and a firm
trust in her Saviour, her end was peaceful.
Many are mourning her departure, and they
who knew her best loved her most. But our loss
is her gain. " Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints."
" Asleep in Jesus I far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be;
But thine is still a blesßed sleep,
From which none ever - wakes to weep."
