MINISTERIAL EDUCATION. CANDIDATES. The number of new candidates received has been, Making in all, from the , beginning (ht 1819 ) The whole number on the roll during this year has been, In their Theological course, .‘ Collegiate .. " Academical . 6 Stage of study not, reported, Teaching, or otherwise absent, The aggregate number of candidates is six more than the number on the roll last, year. The number of new candidates is thirty-, eight more than the number received last year. This large increase is the true expon. ent of the success of this year's operations. The total number of new candidates is one hundred and fortyone, which is the largest number received in any one year since the division of the Church. _ This large increase of candidates should awaken gratitude and joy in the hearts of Christians, as a token of God's unmerited favor and of his answer to prayer. What an encouragment is also thus held , forth to faithful parental training, to the continuance of earnest supplication, and to general co. operation in measures to assist in the train. ing of candidates for the ministry! Theological Students, Collegiate The best hope of continued and enlarged enemas in the Church's operations in this department,is, under sod, in prayer. :. The Board strenuously reiterate their conviction that the praying churches, looking up to, the Lord of the harvest, are the training church es for the increase of the. ministry. STATE OF THE TREASURY., The following is a general view of the pecuniary affairs of the Board during °the eccleshu3tioal year, ending April 20th I.

The total receipts of the Candidates' Fund are $52,077,92. , This itt the largest sum for candidates received into the Treasury of the. Board of Education since its organization in , 1849. The increase, above the receipts.of last year in this fund , is $4,994 85. The Board also report that there hat 3, never been so little outward, agency in the collection of funds, as during the past, year.- The plan of Systematic Beneioleiine, free-will offerings-from the churches, ,atreg ular periods, under .the supervision of rthe• Pastors and Sessions, is working with great effmiency—as might be expected- from - plan that has the directrecommendatieri:in‘t sanction of the Scripture& So well - has this, plan worked in securing funds for , the,:edn.., cation of candidates, that the Board his - teat found it necessary , to make any special ap peal to the churches,. „ , The eiperience of the itoard of ,Educe.. tion is, that the supply of funds has always equalled the demand. When the General: Assembly increased the annual approprit tions to candidates, the churches increased: . their contributions proportionably and when, the number of candidates was enlarged, in , the providence and, by the grace of .God; corresponding enlargement of pecuniary ire sources simultaneously followed. A regular and steady advance has taken,' place in the funds for the last ten years, with a single slight variation, such as might be expected in operations of this nature.

THE OFFIC.E . AND AGEECY No agency, outside of the office, hasheen employed - in the collection of funds; and, as has been Already stated, the Seiretaries of the Board have found it leis neceiiary than ever before, to engage in this work.' There is nevertheless a large amount of outside service to be performed through the office, in .addition 'to its regular correspondence. This service consists , principally in the pas toral visitation of the candidates in , the var; ions Academies, Colleges, and Theological seminariei, and in going , to all parts ,of the Church to advise, and r esist, in the estab lishmeits and nurture < of institutions of learning and ' "*" t The Boardchave to announce to the (}62- oral Asierriblfther retignation of Dr. Aran WOCid,,the Associate ; Corresponding Seore taris4 who he;; accepted the Presidency of Ileticiv.er College.

THE PRESBYTERIAN AND'ADVOCATE. 7. This plan interferes with no other scheme or object of benevolence. The cause of Colleges takes its natural place, oari its natural day, and, without hindrance to any other good work. 8. This plan has a capacity for enlarge ment, which gives it the, prospect of yield ing a sufficient income, ultimately, for all the purposes of the Board. It may be worked into more efficiency,,like other be neiolent plans, by imparting information to the churches, by an occasional sermOn, or word of exhortation, from the pastor, or by conversation with individuals. In abort, the Board are willing to take the, responsi• bility of the efficiency of the plan, if the churches will adopt it., Small sums from many churches will make up, eventually, it is believed, a sufficiently large aggregate to enable the Church to sustain her institutions in their time of need. • In view of these various considerations, the Board submit to the General Assembly the propriety of taking, up collections, at the annual meetings for prayer, on the last Thursday of February: The board repeat that it is their only hope of ddiagthe work intrusted to theirt by. the Church, so far as they, have ,any light,upon the subject.. After being engaged in the work for ten years, the 'Board can testify that the aid, rendered in this departn3eht, has accomplished the most important and useful results to the cause of religious educatiop,:"Jioth - directly and' indirectly, in our own, and in other churches; 'and it , is 'their strong conviction that' the efforts, made in behalf of eduea tional,institutions,eught te be enlarged:and perpetuated from generation to generation.

It is ,a masterly effort favor of God's truth, and against Rationalism in its most dangeroua and specious forms. It is shown most conclu; sively, that whatever of difficulty maY;he found connected with religious :knowledge, even when pursued to they extreme limits of human thought, equy; difficulties exist in, regard to any other, species of knowledge, when pursued to the Ulti- Mate limits of iihieh,thil human mind is capable. The fallacies of. Rationalism are detected,' ax posed, and dostroyeg, in a manner most philo sophical, and sat the Imma litae in accOrdance with the general teachings of 'the Word of God.- This is eminently a work for the present , times, so Closely is it related to the higher, thinking of the present generation, and so boldly and does it 'carry the' Christian argument through' the entire , course of recent, and especially German speculation. It is defence of revealed religion, against the skepticism., of our day," as unanswerable as irasthe Analpgr! „of . liutler against, the 'skepticism of his times.

LONGUEVILLE ifANSEL, B. D, Reader in Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy at Magdalen College, Oxford. 12m0., cloth. $l.OO. This volume is destined to create a profounder sensation in this country than any philosophical or religious work of this century. It is a defence of revealed religion, equal in ability to the " Analogy " of Bishop Butler, and meets the skepticism of our age as effectually as that great work-in an earlier day. The Pantheism and Parked= infused into our popular literature will here find an antidote. The Lectures excited the highest enthusiasm at Oxford, and the volume has already reached a third edition in England. The copious "Notes" of the author have been translated for the 'American edition by an accomplished scholar, which adds greatly to its value. Hugh Miller's New Volume. POPULAR GEOLOGY.

The work is likely to prove the most popular of Hugh Miller's writings, and to attain the widest circulation. It is written in his beet style, and makes the mysteries of geology intelligible to the common mind. As an archited explains the structure of a house from cellar to attic; 'se this accomplished geologist takes the globes to,pleces, and explains the manner in which all its strata, have been formed, from the grailite foundation to the alluvial surface. It stipplies just the information which many readers have been longing for, but unable to find. The Life' of JOhn.

SYRUP OF THE HYPOPIIOSPRITEs, Composed of the Hypophosphites of Lime, Soda, Potassa, and Iron. These remedies were brought to notice by Dr. John Frau' Churchill, an eminent physician of Dublin, and have attracted much attention from the medical profe ssion. To give a general idea of their a-tlon, we make the follow ing extracts from Dr. Churchill'. Parer " On the Proximate Caine and Specific Remedy of Tuberculosis," read before the Academy of Medicine, Paris, July, 1E157. 'Says Dr. C 2- ".The. total number of cases of Phthieis treated by me amount, to thirty-five. All were either in the second or third enuyes of the complaint; that is; they had either softened tubercles or cavities in the lunge: of these, nine recovered completely, the pliyaieal signs of the disease die. appearing altogether in eight out of that number; eleven improved considerably, and fourteen died. The results will be found to justify the following conclusions; "The proximate cause, or at all events en essential con- Anion of the tubercular diathesis, is the decrease to the system of the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygeni zable state. " The aped& remedy of the disease consists in the use of a preparation of phosphorus, uniting the two conditions, being in such a state that it may be directirassimilsted, and at the same time at the lowest possible' degree of ory dation. "The effects of these salts upon the tubercular diathesis IS immediate ; all the general symptoms of the disease dis appearing with a rapidity which is really marvelous. If .tbe pathological depecit produced by the dyscracy is of re cent formation, if softening has only just set In, and does not proceed too rapidly, the tubercles are reabsorbed and disappear. When the softening bas attained a certain de gree, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and the issue of the disease then depends upon an anatomical condition of the local lesion, on its extent, and upon the eaiatence or non-existence of complications. I have made numerous attempts to modify the local condition of the lunge by the inhalation of different substances, but have never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what was to be attributedto the specisc treatment. The Hypo phosphitea are certain prophylactics against tubercular disease. "The physiological effects show these preparations to have a two-fold action ; on the one hand they increase the principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes ner. Tone force, and on the other, they elevate the tone of the several functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition. They seem to possess, in the highest degree, all the there pentical properties formerly attributed by different servers to phosphorus itself, without any of the danger which attends the use of that substance. The different preparations of Hypophosphorns Acid will undoubtedly occupy one of the mnet important places In the Materia Modica." The success of this treatment being so much. in advance of anything before attained in the management_ ofsthis heretofore almost incurable disease, calls for a thorough testing of these remedies.
