into the State, the publishing an' account of
a lottery; or the advertising, of tickets for

MUM PRESBYTERIAN REVIEW.
, ft nd, in the Central Presbyterian, a
Cirdular' from the, editors Of the Southern;
appealing , to, ministers in the South for
cooperation. .The: journal needs an in
creased subscription, -to = meet actual eX=
penses. 'This ieto be regretted. Chris
tians .shoula,iitever permit the enterprising
publishers of Works demanded by their
own denomination, 'to suffer. This Quar:
toil) , is really needed. It is also ably con
ducted.' The appeal to-the South is very
just; but it may, with great' inoiriety,' be
extended to the North. Our ministers and
elders 'should know, from first:hinds, what
are the opinions of their brethren. We
sometimes dissent from the journal' we re
commend ; ',but we still value ithighly,.and
would rejoice if we could know that &few
htindred subscribers were added to' it from
among our Northern friend's. •

'We may be permitte&Ao express our
pleasure ta, the many t _assuOnces .we receive
of the high-value set upon our journal, and
the approbation accorded to our recent im
provements. Our success indicates our
usefulness; and everything which tends to
spread , the knowledge of our capabilities
for usefulness; increases the field of our
operations. A _distant pastor, who has a
very large charge, thus writes : /
" All are delighted, with the new dress of
the Banner. Headincr,paper,type,variety,
Ate., render it -worth Heading, paper,

ought, to have I many. more :patrons; , and if

know . the - wane of , sudlt a journal, try` to
increase its •eire4ation, promiie to do
better for the future.
"In the, rural fliatricts tithes liave been
stringent, but no Christian, and especially
no parent; can expend 81.50 more wisely
than by bringing such a weekly visitor into
his family. It will quicken their desire
of knowledge, enlarge their r fund'`,A' infor
mation, elevate their taste, restrain' carnal
passions, sinetify Nmily affection, ,ProMPt
to well-doing, and in• many ways prOve an
ineatimable blessing.,
" I am net only `,a pastor but a parent a
happy parent, with all my children hope
fully in Christ, arid. I • gratefully avow
earnest conviction,, that to the influence of
the weekly religious instructor I am, under
God, greatly indebted ; for the piety and
promise i of my dear ,'and devoted fainilY.
Such a visitor comes in wisdom and love,
and speaks rightly, earnestly, s and frequent
ly-I,speakS' what and whcre a parent can't
speak, and withal, magnifies and enfo
the influence of all .1.414-mincied father
or Mother says or does."
We can assure our brethre,n, pastors,
elders, and , parents, • that we ,regard
,our
selves • their fellow4aborors ; their' helpers
in'theLoia. And, having ourselves much
experience in the pastoral work, and know
,
ing well the wants„and responsibilitiv of
parents, we do our. utmost to bring 'out just
,
such a . paper as is , needed. We ask for
prayers and contributions, as well As for
efforts to extend our circulation.
The, Divine law clothes the head of the
household , with power, and makes him re
spensible for the religious instruction and
moral ."conduct of ll who are under" his
care. In these • respects, bond-servanta
stand very nearly in the Same relation us
do children. And,...even ,the " stranger ; "
who may be ," within the;,,gates," is to be
held under restraint.. „Relative to servants
the Nortls Carolina Presbyterian, says.;
no light matter to =hold , the rela
tion of roaster and to s be charged ! with the
care and
. oversight „of even, one Servant.
The labor: of ,the slave, is his owner's
property, and in return the latter is bound
to show him kind lreatment, and to pro-,
vide for. the wants ot his, body
,and - ,soul.
His moral nature , and his immortal spirit
cannot betransferred_ to, another's posses 7
sion,,and master, and,slae must alike• give
account to God. In - that day of trial, the
pious slaveholder ! will;be welcomed to ,the
presence of his,Tudge„on,_the same terms
as his pious servant; whilsthe who abused
his -trust" willbe . as, justly , condemned
as the ungodly parent or minister who
was, faithless. to the , charge committed to
him." ,

" The second. week ofJanuary...was ob;
served, as recommended,in prayer -for the
conversion of the world. From evening-to
evening, I endeavored, to. call the; attention
of my people to ;the. glorious.promises
God's Word, touching the 3 conversion ,of
the, world. There seemed - Win more. than
ordinary interest. in these services, and it
was thought best,to :continue '-''other seven
days in ,prayer.". We then entered upoit
the •serviees'preparatory to the administra
tion. of the Lord's Supper. ~:Although
there were hut, two that ~came out. on the
Lord's side at our communion, yet it was
evident to all that God's 'Spirit was in our
midst. On-Monday we requested all those
who were anxious about -their souls, to ire-.
main after public service 'The first; even

then set apart particular,seasons for meet

These services were continued until the
15th of February, l‘sonietimes preaching
day and night. There :.were, forty-nine
persons attended, our inquiry meetings
during-this period. The most of
-these ex
press a hope. Among- these there were
six heads of families. .We expect to se
cure most of these, on profession of faith, at
our next communion. : Some, however,
will unite with' other branches of the
Church. Our thanks are „due to Brother
J. T. BOYD, of Harrisville, who was with
us at, our communion and at . the close of
our• meeting; also, to_Brother• jUNIEIN, of

LONDON, March 2, 1860.
FREsu COMPLICATIONS mark the pres
ent'political cendition of things in connex
ion with the Italian' 'question. It .Was
supposed that • Central yltaly , wasj by. the
consenVof. the Trench Emperor, , and after
a general Tote •of the population, ;to be
speedily annexed qo the kingdom :of Sar
dinia. But within the last week, that in
explicable..Praeus, Napoleon has, it
is said, indicated .his .disapprobation• of the
idea-,:-at•least.he -would only r sanction sthe
partial Annexation, and, would place.a Vicar
over ,the,Romagna, :the said Vicar, ,to, be
nominated by-th.e ,Pope I As for the Pope,
agreeing: to such a, proposal, the reply
would be ;the) same, f‘ Non, posszonns
which has been. ,hitherto given by,!himself
and his Cardinals. The Court of Rome 'is
ebstinate,rand•stands on-Divine -right and
nothing less, even in , -the matter of the
Pope's 'temporal sovereignty. .1 Not that
Professors 'of --Qanon Law,, ope especially at
Rome,, deny- and , abjure such a dogma.
Nevertheless, ,an address was lately. got up
at • -Rome,- and : presented to his Holiness,
who spoke ina,yery silly way, but, quite
determined -Whold fast to, the inalienable
rights of the Holy/See - to ¢', the
,patrimony
of ; Saint Peter!' ,Perhaps,ere long, be may
act here, as he Ad as, to', that ; abominable
and - crowning blasphemy, the Immaculate,
Conception ofthe„,,Xtrgiu,,,,,aod_ decree be
lief in the Pope's temporal right, as an
article of t faith essential to salvation.,
Napoleiin; ninionbtidlY,'. 'designs
upon Savoy; and it may be'that his recent
change of sentiment as to the extent of
annexation .and the liberty of Sardinia to
add. to, her territories, so' as te become
a great Italian' kingdom,- may be •owing
to :the 'conduct of Count Cavoixr. It is
declared; that' !the hitter, when out of
office, `urged Emperor to consent to his:
return; ; :to, power, promising that lie
(Cavour,) would persuade Victor Emmanuel
to,,consent that "France ,should ;have Savoy.
But now, it is 'said, .Cavour ,:is thwarting
the Emperor's , desire, and , falsifying his
promises: Ca - vour is Swiss by birth, and
has property la Switzerland. He. and the
Swiss people are' on confidential, terms, and
it:would seem that he seeks their aggrand-
iieinent and not , that of ,France:;. Never,
thelesS, the annexation of Savoy to France
is a probable 'event,- although Lord John
Russelihas. stated that the Emperor will
not ',consummate it , unless the Savoyards
themselves are in. favor -oft it, or - *without
his,consulting the other Great Powers.
It remains to be seen, .whether or not
Sardinia will urge on the vote of annexa
tion to• -itself ) , on the part of the Central
Italians and of tho people of the .Romagna.
All: things, are being made ready for it.
But: ;Russia is, said to warn Sardinia
against .any , such responsibility, as ,war
might follow, and , France—even though, it,
is not:true, as lately announced, that the
French troops would be withdrawn from Italy
in cage of annexation—might.not help her,
if Austria thought, proper to resist, that
annexation : by force of arms.. All things
are in mystery and darkne.ss. The Emper
or, islthe, grand marplot. He is double
minded, man., •Ile ,has',to., deal with the.

PREACHING mr THEAIRES was, last week,
the subject of a most interesting discumion
in then House of Lords. Lord, Dungannon,
who is: Grand Master of, the Orangemen of
Ireland, and whose Protestantism at the
same time is so very attenuated • that he
sympathizes with Tractarianism - , - stands up
for Apostolical and exclusive' succession,
ignores the orders of those Presbyterian
ministers who are • such a blessing to his
tenantry in Ulster—this soft-headed, bigot-
ed; and obstinate -nobleman, •in 'spite of
Episcopal' renionstrances, would have a
discussion about preaching in theatres. The
result has been' most: salutary. -, • •
Lord Dungannommoved a resolution con
deinnatoiy> of the performance of Divine
worship at• theatres, by clergymen of the
Church of England, as highly irregular,
inconsistent with order, and calculated to.
hinder:rather tham advance the progress of
sound religious 'principles in-the metropolis
and throughout the country. The speech
manifested, both great ignorance of facts,
and deep and bitter, High Church preju
dices. At its conclusion, the Venerable.
Dr. Sumneri. Archbishop of Canterberry,'
rose and; •calmly Stated, that whilst he
shared in the Viscount's repugnance to
theatrical 'associatiens,
u this •wasot a matter
of principle, but of•sentiment, and that
even if he had the rpower •by law to pro
' hibit .clergymen preaching ,the GospeLin
theatres, he:could not find it in his heart to

But the speech of the night was that of
Lord Shaftsbury. Tie had,taken' an active
part inothe originating of the 'movement.
He commenced by observing that, he was
44 the. only culprit" „present,,: and, so she
stood. before his Peers to answer the im-
peachment bleught-against him.' He then
delivered a' , crushing reply, full, of facts,
revealing the awful social condition of the
masses, and showing. by incontestable -evi
dence that _this - movement was reaching the
very classes for -whom it, awas specially in
tended.-4, The speech lasted an. hour and a
half, and: was listened to with breathless
attention. It was-it/Say described by Lord
Granville as a "-remarkable speech;"
" temperate, eloquent ; ; and impressive."
The details of the, circumstances orig
inating =this effort were deeply, affecting.
It is a melancholy-fact, -that scarcely two
per cent. of the operatives-of London ever
enter a place,: of -worship, whilst it is , esti
mated that besides three thousand profes,
sional thieves; there are about, one'hundred
'thousand persons in, the metropolis whom
the policed
reear
isas dangerous. The Sab
bath :.fearfully profaned •by regular mar
'kets and -fairs , at Lambeth, at . Somers Town,
and in other'districts. ,Further, the roving
'habits of these„ surging ,masses, of people
-render it nearly impossible to bring. any
=parochial system of instruction ,to bear on
them, whilst many of them are so filthy and
naked, that they are ashamed to, show them-
Selves in a place of , worship. Add- to-this
Ithat there is a.prejudice against . : churches
end." parsons," and that extra services, not
)ctidforouidertaken, evidently tell upon, a
,eople , very suspicious, .acid ; you will see
how, on the one hand, the spiritual destitu
iion is fearful, and how, i onthe other hand,
;.one source of partial remedy, is opened : up.
Spacious music halls might, have been
found, =but they:' are , connected. with the
•ieraptations of the tavern. Theatres were
the only, alternative, = and.it ha,s been found
plat twenty thousandsevenhundred human,
peings, chiefly composed, of "youghs," of
ostermongers; and others, men, women,
4nd young people, who' never visited a,

14ast Sabbath evening he took part in' a
ipervice by reading a chapter, of the. Holy
;scriptures: , The preacher on the occasion
11,
the; place, the Pavilion Theatre, „White

1,1. D. Northopi of New York; who is re
. 'oorted to have .delivered ;,a powerful and
mpressive sermon, and whose popular tel
. tints seem highly appreciated. When the
iervice was over,: Lord S: Went out among
he crowd, in order the' better to observe
';he description of persons who attended;
Ind many, - including- mothers, holding up
• .; heir children in, their, arms, affectionately
; lessed him. He, therefore, was the man
o tell the HoUse 'Peers that what the
eople want is not patronage;hut sympathy:
If," he exclaimed, "iany. Prime' Minister,

says

he• following is the' concluding portion of
Hanna'ti *letter :
"Hundreds are deeply anxious on their own

bevy of prieita hadheert in frequent attendance
on the house, no' doubt to reclaim to Roman
ian' a soul having 'a 'chance of obtaining a knowl
edge 'of truth and the 'enjoyment of salvation.
The danger and fear is that the girl has been.
spirited away to a nunnery., -
"It is believed that many persons are impris- .
owed in the nunneries, whom the present griev-.
ous 'Movement 'had brought ;to knoWledge of
the truth. 'We are all strongly assurASOf the'

in a free and Protestant country. We shall net,

this point will , secure yOur attention, and - that
your - widely circulated journal will direct its in

should yetbe accessible at all times t 6 the police.
The craft of Romanian cannot be matched, and
the mysteries of masonry mould often defeatrthe
;keenest scrutiny, but existing iniquities would
be rendered more hazardous in practice.
"Another remarkable case of conversion oc
curred this week. On last Sabbath:morning, my
text was Ecclesiastes ix : 10, 'Whatsoever •• thy
hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might, for
there is no work,.nor device, nor knowledge, nor
wisdom in the grave whither thou goest.' It
pleased the Lord to employ this text to penetrate
the heart of one interesting young person. She;
was much impressed. Before the evening ser
vice her sister read a tract at home which deep
;ened the impression, and came to church. The
other sister remained with an aged mother. In
'a `short time the emotions of the anxious soul be
came too powerful to contend with, and she fell,
into a state of insensibility. It was only for a
few minutes, however. She was constrained to
pray and, did cry aloud for mercy. The Lord
answered, and in a short time she. found peace in
believing. That house was filled with joy' Ifer
slates; on returning from service could see'that a
Mighty change had taken plaCe since she left.
She had heen much in-prayer for the unconvert
ed members of the family, and now the - Lord had
heardher on behalf of .one, about whom she had
been' long and. deeply; anxious. I visited the
house next day, and heard from her, who` had so
lately obtained the grace of God, ho*:she had
been exercised. Her faith was ;strong-; her .joy
was, overflowing ; she bewailed her former hard
ness .of heart,, but magnified O o d her Saviour,
who had subdued and delivered her froth deserved

A WEST END G - ATEtERING with philan
thropic -objects in view, was held at the
mansion of.lßobert-Hantopry r Esq., M. P.
I was one of those invited. It was a social
and yet a public Meeting' . ''We had there a
large'body:of those whoAake 'the mostac
tive and, prominent part' 'in advancing the
Reformatory, Refuge, , and ..Ragg,ed !School
Movement* Among- the ladies who mns
tered strong on ;the occasion, was the *ife
of the Bishop of London, Lady Havelock
and her. daughter. The widowed garb , of
the•mother; and the dark dress of the child,:
vividly -recalled the great deeds of the
Christian hero, whose bones now , restin
an Indian grave. The special object of the
meeting at Mr. Hanbnry's, was to interest
the company in a " Laundry," am
stitution founded by the •host .and.hostel
for the training of young orphan girls for
household service—instructing them, under
Christian sut)erintendence,,in cooking and
needle:work, as well as in the &titles of the
laundry. It is,proposed• to extend the sys
tem, and thus absorb, in u,seftd , toil,. that
excess- of female population who are with
out work, and, therefore, exposed to great
temptation and misery... ,
.Lord Shaftsbury made a very interesting
statement Among other • things he. re
ferred to the ignorance of the wives and
mothers .of working.men, of i cooking, &c.,
from lack of previous training. Re , hall
visited twenty houses in one street, and
found only one , woman- who knew. how to
darn a stocking. He hopes to see. the:
"men milliners' in large shops, displaced,
by women as he considers them intruders
on, the- rightful domain of female employ
ment. =He expects that , women will t3OOll l.
be employed as copyincr.,clerks. An Insti..
.tution for, that end :being Sormed. He
also indicated that not, less than: five mil,:
lion sterling was annually, spent in• and ,
around London on 'Leashing alone ! He
painted the great trials .and perils of ser.
vant'.girls coming up from the country to
look for situations, and whose• little stock
of cash was • soon gone.. The• Refuges at
Field Lane had been ,a shelter for many of
these. He also humorously described,. the
love of change, now: characterizing servants
both male. and female. He himself, had a•
foo{man lately left his service. He was
perfectly content with every thing but one,
and what was this fault? Why, 'that he
was kept. too busy "to attend his . Club I"
