010w:wen's Commentary.*
The present day abounds in Commenta
ries, distinguished for learning and ability,
or presenting in a condensed and popular
form the results of the most learned research
of particular books of the Holy Scrip
tures. Writers thus engaged, are doing a
most important work for the ministry, for
teachers in the Sabbath Schools, and for
the private reading of Scripture and family
instruction in the lively Oracles. And by
confining attention to some particular
books of the Bible, there is a better op
portunity for thorough investigation and
concentration of thought than are possi
ble in a wider range of Biblical study.
And yet a general Commentary upon either
the Old or New Testament, by one master
mind of Evangelical , sentiments, and ade-
quately fprnisbed with minute and varied
learning, may have a unity of design and a
completeness of treatment that cannot
well be attained otherwise. In this
way, the consistently of the parts may be
made to appear more clearly, and a store
house may be prepared, front which large
supplies can be drawn by the attentive
and persevering student of Scripture. •
Such is the work now before us. Though
altogether without predilections in favor
of what is technically called "German
Theology," and well aware of the evils con
nected with much that passes under that
name, we must rejoice at seeing in so comely
an English dress, a work so profound in its
learning and research as the Commentary of
Olahausen on the New Testament. The
author has been long known to those con
versant with the theological literature of
Germany. He was born in 1796, in the
Duchy of Holstein, and received his edu
cation partly at Kiel and partly at Berlin.
In 1822 be became Theological Professor at
Koningaberg, and in 1835 he was calle d
, to
occupy the same Chair at Erlangen.
Throughout his public life, he was the great
antagonist of Strauss and his followers, by
whom he bad the honor of being most cor
dially hated, and very frequently assailed in
terms by no means complimentary.
After the death of °Mame; his great
work was serried forward by Ebrard &
Wiesinger, professing the Evangelical faith, ,
practical and learned. Some years ago, an
English translation appeared as part of the
valuable series of works comprised in Clark's
Foreign and Theological Library, that met
with great favor, though the translation was
acknowledged to be very faulty in many
particulars. The editor of the present edi
tion has carefully revised the whole work,
correcting the inaccuracies of the Edin
burgh edition, and adding the improvements
found in the late German editions, so that
this is the • most valuable edition of this great
work accessible to the Englislistudent.
But it is to be borne in mind that
Olshausen is notl'aultlese.aa a Commentator.
Though opposed to the prevalent German
Neology of his day, he did not altogether
escape infection . from the erroneous views
around him. His view of inspiration was
not of such a character as will receive the
approbation . of Evangelical Christians in
this country, and yet even in this respect he
is among the least objectionable of Modern
Germans, not excepting Neander and Tho
ino. But the notes of warning given by
Ebrard, and by the American editor, Dr.
Kendrick, over his own initials, do much to
remove this defect, and to destroy whatever
of injury, might be otherwise feared. Nor
is it to be disguised, that we find,,in one or
two places, admissions dropping out with re
spect to the mode of baptism, to which we
do not assent.'
With these warnings in his thoughts, the
diligent reader and careful student of Scrip
ture, well indoctriUated in the fundamental
principles 'of religion as held by American
Evangelical Christians, has a rich field to
enter upon, where a valuable harvest may be
othered.
The slap .of the work may be thus stated
Ist. Proof of the genuineness of the writ
ingi of the New Testament. 2d. A synop
tic:al exposition -of the first three Gospels.
3d. An introduetion and exegetical exposi
tion of each of the other Books until the
close of Hebrew& The remaining books of
the New Testatnent will be comprised in
another volume not yet ready for publication,
but which is in process of preparation
by one of the continuators of the present
work.
The book is distinguished for the learn
ing, skill, and judgment displayed in the .
exposition. Philological ands critical ques
tions 'itti—tliacussiit with -great -breadth
of learning and acuteness of analysis. One
peculiarity of the author is a wonderfully
complete and comprehensive view of the
Holy Scriptures as a whole, while he mani
fests extreme fondness in tracing the radi
cal connexions of the different parts. To
him the New Testament is rooted in the
Old, and the Old reaches its consummation
in the New.
This skillful tracing of the several parts
from each other, fornis a beautiful and in
structive feature of this Commentary, de
signed not merely for critics, but for pastors
aid intelligent readers of the Bible. -
We have been thus careful to present the
leading features of this work as we have
been able to gather them, that our readers
may have a clear and distinct view of its
claims to their attention. Its careful study
by pastors, would greatly benefit them in
apprehending the mind of the Spirit, and
would greatly enrich their utterances of sa
cred truth.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
INDlA.—Letters are received to date 'of
January 4th. The work progresses.
011 INA.—Mr. Way, after a fifteen years
residence at Ningpo, has found his health.
much enfeebled, and is on his journey, with
his family, to the United States. Mr. Mar
tin, speaking of Ningpo, says :
"The country, we feel, is now practically open.
all around us, and inviting ne in so many direc
tions, that we are at a loss what to do, or where
to go, Indeed, the new openings made, not
merely by the new treaties, but resulting at least
in this and the adjoining province from the grad
ual influence of missionary intercourse, call
loudly for permanent occupation. To some' of
these places, we hope we shall soon be able to de.
tach some of our 'native brethren. And though
our resources are few and feeble, we trust Re who
has opened the field will supply laborers for its
cultivation."
Of Canton, Mr. Preston speaks ,encour-
agingly.
AFRICA.—Mi. James has arrived at Mon
rovia. He had a severe attack of lung fever
on his voyage out, but is recovered.
Mr. Williams speaks of his own continued good
health, and says that his field of labor never
seemed so important or so cheering as at pres
ent. Much interest has been awakened in the
churches in Monrovia of late in behalf of the
surrounding heathen population, and Sabbath
Schools have been organized in several native
villages. Mr. Williams mentions also that in one
of the native villages where he had recently been
preaching, the town fetiche had been publicly de
stroyed, by the unanimous consent of the people,
expressing a decided conviction on their
, part of
the superior importance of the Gospel. Our
Corlett° letter mentions that no further disturb
ance had been experienced at the hands of the
Spaniards. In relation the spiritual prospects of
the mission, the same letter statea: " We are still
encouraged in our missionary work. Our next
quarterly communion is approaching, when there
will be two or more admitted to the church, ac
cording to our present expectation. We have
formed the inquirers at each of the stations into
a catechumen class, which Mr. Ogden- meets at
Evangasimba once a week."

PUBLICATION..
We are promised an encouraging report
of the proceedings of the year, which ter
minated on the first of March. In this all
our churches will rejoice. Some may de.
sire greatly more to be accomplished, and
others may prefer, in some respects, different
modes of working, but all must be thankful
for the good which is done.
The Confession of ,Faith, in its, cheap
form, is being circulated in large numbers.
This shows the wisdom of making a good
thing cheap. But we desire' to have it
made 'still better, and equally cheap. We
like to send the Divine Word wherever we
send our Articles of Faith, that every man
may see at once their truthfulness, and be
prepared to both embrace and defend. To
add the Scripture proofs would about double
the size; and the whole cost, when thus en
larged, for the printed sheets would be just
four cents and six mills. 'To bind these ; in
tract form' would cost but a ' few mills more.
• Five cents, or five and asmattiraction, would
send them, out thus; or, twelve and a half
cents would send them' out thus enlarged and
neagy. bound. The Board hos: done well,
and we heartily 'give our thanks; but we
. must be permitted to plead that it shall do
yet better. We know, : from the very beat
authority, that it can do what we oak. Its
only loss will be the agency in selling, and
when it collects twenty .thousand dollars a
year from the churches, to pay its colpor
teurs for carrying around and selling its
books, it might well favor them with a small
trifle in return. '

Temperance.
We rejoice that the Temperance cause
commands increased attention. The sug
gestions in the following circular are valn
able. United effort must do good.
To the Temperance men of Western Pennsylvania :
FELLOW CITIZENS :—The undersigned having
been appointed a Committee by a Mass Tem
perance Convention of Allegheny County,
charged with the duty of proposing some meas
ures to arrest the growing and alarming evils of
intemperance in our State, desire to submit to
you a few brief suggestions.
-That the manufacture, sale, and use of intoxi
cating drinks is alarmingly on the increase in our
midst, you have the most paia.:4l proofs. That
direct and united effort to suppress this financial,
eocial, and moral evil—the greatest in our coun
try—are now much less used than formerly, is
equally palpable. Temperance lectures,, discus
sions, and legislation on the subject, are but
little attended to now, compared with years past.
Is it dot time for us to ask ourselves the ques
tion: Can we, as patriots, philanthropists, and
Christians, stand idly by and see this work of
death go on ? a work of ruin, too, which can be
arrested by well directed effort, as easily as any
other great evil.
Let it be remembered, that since the days of
thorough and extensive temperance agitation,
another generation of young men has come on to
the stage of action, who have heard and read
comparatively little on the evils of intemperance,
and danger of moderate drinking. And the re
sult is, our young men, to an alarming extent,
are running into habits of drinking and down
right drunkenness.
Thus, all around us, homes are desolated; the
hearts of parents, brothers, sisters, wives, and
children are torn and bleeding by this destroyer.
We propose to you, and would earnestly urge
you, to unite with the friends of the _cause in
this city and its surroundings, in calling forth
with public meetings, and by organizing Societies,
or appointing committees, provide ibr a series of
meetings under the direction of some proper au
thority, for lectures and discussions. In these
meetings you will find ample topics for discus
sion, in the nature and extent of the evil you
combat: in the, means and mode of your ag
gressive measures upon it; in the present system
of license laws; and what, if any, other legisla
tion is demanded, and how it can be obtained,
etc., eta.
We invite—most cordially invite you—to meet
with us in a Mass Temperance Convention in this
city, on the last Wednesday (25th) of May next,
for the purpose of comparing and harmonizing
our opinions and mode of operation in the future.
We have resolved to gird on the armor once more
against this enemy of God and man. Come
then, and come in great numbers, every temper
ance man' come whether appointed or not, and
let us take counsel together, for union is strength.
We rejoice to see already a new and brisk move
ment on the part of our country friends, as we
bear of many large and spirited meetings.
Friends of God end Humanity, work on and
work ever!
All papers friendly to the cause of Temperance
are requested to copy this address and invitation.

.11¢asachusks.itas not grown weary in making
grants to her Colleges and institutions of learning.
The legislature has just made an appropriation of
$25,000, to the Wilbraham Seminary, the buildings
of which were destroyed some time ago by fire;
$50,000 each to Amherst, Williamstown, and
Tufts' Colleges, and sloo,ooo for 'this establish
ment of a Museum of Natural Hietory, upon the
petition of Prof. Agaselz ; and the approbation of
the Governor has already been signified, by giving
his signature to the bill. The charter for the
Board of Trustees of the Museum of Natural
History, empowers them to hold property to the
amount of $300,000. Mr. Wm. Gray, has al
ready promised on his own account $50,000, so
that one-half of the maximum sum has been al
ready secured.
The propriety of founding a large University
upon the European Plan, is beginning to be dis
cussed in influential quarters, and high hopes are
beginning •to be entertained that the initiatory
steps in such a movement will soon be taken.
Worcester's Large Quarto Dictionary, will be
ready for publication about the Ist of June, and
will be not only an honor to the author and pub
lishers, but also to the entire country.
In the Early Religious History of New Nngland,
reference is often made to the company of praying
Indians; located by the Apostolic ` Eliot, at South
Natiok, in 1651. Previously to the time of the war
of King Philip, there were between sixty and
seventy church members at this place; and in
one year six members of this church were sent
out to preach the Gospel in other places. During
the ministry of Rev. Oliver Peabody, extending
from 1729 to 1751, this church was much favored;
specially in the great awakening of 1740. But its
downward cowSe commenced under the ministry of
Rev. Stepheti r ßadger, who was settled in 1762, and
iff y
died in pit At his best, be was an Arminian in
belief; ' . toward the end of his • career be was
notbin more than a mere Humanitarian. And
in 1828, a Unitarian church was erected on the
very site of Elliot's meetinghouse; and for many
'Tears the Orthodox faith, that Eliot and -Peabody
so ably, and faithfully pretteliedTiffferneilliltdgettfer
dead. But, a few Sabbaths ago, a hall was opened
for Orthodox preaching; a congregation of from
one bundred tolwo Aundred attended•; and a Sab.
bath School of fifty children was organized. And
to the surpriee of many, some thirty orthodox
professors of, religion have been discovered.
.Au impression unfriendly to the doctrinal
soundness of the present management of the
Congregational Board of Publication having gone
abroad, that• institution seems anxious to set it
self right before the Christian public. Accord
ingly, it has announced a new work, to be styled
the "Edwardean Theory ot the Atonement," con
sisting of essays and discourses by Edwards; pmall
ey, Maxey, Emmons, Griffin, Burge, and "Weeks,
with an Introductory Essay by Prof. Edward A.
Park. If an agreement in sentiment on the
great doctrine of the Atonement can be dis
covered between thestß great masters of the Old
'New England Theology and• Prof. Park, it is cer
tain,
that either the former or , the latter has been
grievously misunderstood. But we are glad to
see that the force of opinion.inthe ministry and
churches of New England is melt as to-compel
its leading Professor of Theology to attempt to
show that his teachings agree with those of the
Old New England Divines. A few years ago, the
pressure of opinion was not sufficient to accom
plish this.
ph, Rev. Dr. Bushnell ; baa at length given
notice of his resignation of his pastoral charge
at Hartford, Conn., after a ministry of twenty-six
years. The subject had been introduced on a
previous occasion, but sit the earnest solicitation
of the people, the resignation was withdrawn.
Now, however, the Dr. insists on definite action,
and - that his resignation shall be • accepted, al
though the people have expressed a willingness
to alio* him an absence offive years, with a
continuance of his salary. One of the
Hartford papers Stay that the Tn.. insists so per
tinaciously upon resignation, because of the di
versity of sentiment in his Congregation with re
spect to,hie colleague. 11l health, and the neces
sity alleg=ff by physicians for a removal to a dry.
climate like that Of California, is the cause of.the
• ~•
desire of Dr. Bushnell to remove from lialtford,
where he is greatly beloved as a man, even, by
those who - have nd sympathy with his theological
vagaries. \ •

Harper's Weekly has its pages again illuminated
with some of ,the principal personages connected
with the Sickles' tragedy, the trial, &o. For the
last few weeks, the height of its ambition
seems to be to keep st of all the other flash
papers, (for it is justly entitled tolhie distinction
now,) in recording crime, and presenting car
ricaturelin the shape of wood cuts, of the prin.-
aotors, In the last number, the face of
Hon. Daniel B. Sickles is represented with a
countenance rather canine.
Every thing promises a speedy completion of

Mr. Charles Scribner, of New York, announces
as in preparation, anew book, entitled " Female
Painters and Sculptors," by the author of the
"Women of the Revolution." The object of the
work is to give a view of the female artists of
Greece and Rome, of those belonging to the
middle ages and the succeeding centuries, down
to the present day. The arrangement includes
Ainerican women as well as those of the countries
of Europe.
The Fine Collection of Afarbies from Nineveh,
presented. by James Lenox, Esq., to the New
York Historical Society, have been arranged in
one of the rooms of the institution, to be known
hereafter as the " isTineveh Room." These stones,.
thirteen in number, are accredited relics of Old
Testament times, surviving all the changes of dy
nasties and religions, and. bearing in characters,
the meaning of which has not yet been decipher
ed, some history of the past. They are known
to date back as far as the seventh century, before
the coming of Christ. On most of the stones
the finest touches of the steel are still to be seen,
es distinct as though only made yesterday.
This wonderful preservation is not due to the
hardness of the material, which is a sulphate of
lime ; ut to the fact that the stones fell inward
when the proud structures to which they belonged,
tumbled to the ground, and were thus buried
with their faces in the sand, and preserved from
the effects of wind and rain. The dimensions of
the stones are : breadth, from four to seven feet ;
height," eight feet; thickness, six inches; anti
they weigh from one a , d a half to two tons each.
Most ie them were broken when falling, or in
the Process of disinterment; but they have been
restored so that the original design is not in the
least impaired.
The Historical Society bas appointed a commit
tee of fifteen to negotiate for the pure.hase of
Abbott's Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. We
are glad to learn this, for an American being
so slow , in making his appearance for the pur
chase of this unequalled collection, we were be
ginning to be afraid that it would yet find a Eu
ropean purchaser who would not permit it to re
main in this country.
The American Bible Society will hold its next
Anniversary in the Academy of Music, on the
12th Of May. The accommodations thus furn
ished, will be ample for the immense crowds that
usually assemble at this anniversary. .
The Wealth of Trinity Church, and the influence
exerted 4hereby, has been the theme of frequent
comment and much animadversion. The actual
value of its property is certainly very great, but
its affairs have been managed so inefficiently, that
the present condition of its finances, is by no
means encouraging. So great have its liabilities
become at timed, and it was so often in, the
market as a borrower, as to lose very much of
its church character, and to stand very much as a
mere moneyed corporation. From the report of
a. committee appointed to examine the state of
the finances, it appears that the revenue of this
church during 1858, was $115,606.07, while the
expenditures were $207,938. To meet liabilities,
it has beep found necessary to sell large quanti
ties of real estate. The net value of the proper
ty owned by the church,.is estimated by a mem
ber of the State Senate at $6,108,150; but one
of the Finance Committee of the corporation,
places the value at only $2,856,536. Probably
the realyalue lies between these two estimates.
The debt now resting on the corporation, is
$709,988 ! And since the expenditures 'hare
hitherto so greatly exceeded the income, it is
proposed to cut off all appropriations to destitute
churcheli throughout the State, until the debt has
been liquidated. And as sixty-eight churches had
made application for aid previous to the presenta
tion of the report, it is easily seen that the
adoption of this resolution will be a heavy blow
to Episcopal interests in many places throughout
the diiicese.
The conduct of one of the New School Pres
byterian Churches, Dr. Adams', toward another,
Dr. Psrker'S, is highly commendable. The
church of the latter has been seriously incom
moded by a debt of $20,000, and the church .of

with the amount of Business transacted this
Spring, it being considerably in advance of any
previouS season. The direct trade With Boston,
by means of steamers and sailing vessels, now
.constitutes a very large item., Boston is the
great centre of trade, in this country, with the
East Indies, and consequently, opens a fine mar
ket for the miscellaneous manufactures of Phils
delphia,,,which are not equalled in extent, accord

Porcelain Teeth.
Dr. N. Stebbins, 191 Penn Street, has shown
us a beautiful specimen of Artificial Teeth, on a
Porcelain plate. The particular value of this
plate, in comparison with others, we cannot tell ;
but we know that the art of Dentistry has made
very great advances, and we advise all our tooth
less or semi-toothless friend; to avail themselves
of its benefits.
The Porcelain plate is reach lighter and
cheaper than the gold; and if it hog the re
quisite strength, it will be quite an iniprovement.

Publications of Gould & Lincoln.
A letter in the Boston Transcript, date New
York, April 2d, says:
Of exclusively religious boolm, there is no
Boston house whose supply is more appreeated
here than that of Gould & Lincoln. Their recent
issue of a new collection of Sermons by Dr. Way
land is regarded as a most valuable permanent
contribution to the special theological department
it represents. As at thinker and expounder the
author is justly regarded as the bead of his de
nomination; in many essential particulars, he is
to the American what Joha Foster was to the
English Baptists.
In the way of religious biography this class of
Christians acknowledge their indebtedness to the
'same house for Hovey's "Life and Times of Isaac
Backus ;" and, among the elder members, a
favorite contemplative work is Chaplin's "Even
ing of Life "—full of pious aspirations and faith ;
Nebelin's "Great Day of Atonement" is another
standard addition to the library of Orthodox
religious literature; while the erudite and per
spicunus little historical treatise of Uhder, called
the "New England Theocracy" is one of the most
interesting foreign contributions to American
ecelesiastical history that has yet appears ; the
general reader and student, not less than the
theologian, will find it a candid and copious digest
of the essential facts of the Puritan emigration
to, and organization in New England. It is" ably
translated and edited by Mr. Conant. The " Har
vest and the Reapers" is a seasonable • work
apropos to the course and characteristics of the
late Religious Revival—to the last year's subjects
of which it is appropriately dedicated.
Besides these and such es these priblications,
Messrs. Gould & Lincoln are not less faithful in
their selection of literary and scientific works—
most of which, from - their press, are also of
standard merit and value. We have only to in
stance Chambers's Cyclopedia. of English . Liters
time and Hugh Miller's writings. Two books
104 , issued, however, should not be passed by,
although we have -already called attention to
them—the "Annual- of , SBentific Discovery,"
(which is a complete catalogue raigonse of what
has been demonstrated, invented and achieved
in the sphere of Mechanics,Chemistry, Natural
Philosophy and the useful Arts during 1858,) and
Masson 's "Life of Milton." -The new and sug
gestive facts in regard to the childhood, school
and college life—the travels, etc., of Milton, herein
gathered—the parallel; references to historical
events and contemporaneous literature—in a
word, the fullness,' research; particular and per
sonal details, broad illustrative glimpses, with
the sympathy and the insight of the author in his
subject, make 'this biography unique, fresh, and
invaluable.
