MR. MUNN AND,THE,NOBILITY.
'The Presbyterian quotes an exchange as
saying: , -
"Thia, „celebiated, preacher attended at
Allefearn one recent WednesdaY, where he
preached in .a.:largifield belonging to Mr.
.ttngers, to at...least twenty thousand people.
Our informant Says :that among those pos.
entiieretheXord-Lientenant of Monmouth
.Oxid -UTS. .Leigh; lord, Tredegar,
Lady Tredegar r and tinnily; lord Lianover,
Lady,,Llano7er and family; and a large
number . of the leading gentry of:the
country., Previous t 9 commencing Divine
worship, it was represented to the .great
preacher that it would-be advisable for, the
large ,concourse of people to. Move aside, to
enable the several7carriages-and-four to ap
proach nearer, the platform, so that the oc
cupants mightmore easily hear him; upon
which he replied that he did not.come there
to preach.to horses, but to men ; four horses
and ; a carriage would ,occupy the ground of
fifty people, and, th'erefore, the horses and,
earriag'es must remain where they were.
We are also informed' that after - the service
the Lord-Lieutenant sent for Mr. Spurgeon,
and invited him. to come to Pontypool; but.
Mr. Spurg,eon replied that he was sorry he,
could not comply with his lordship's wish,
as he ,had full engagements for the neat two,
years.
THE PACIFIC' EXPOSITOR.
This monthly journal, under.the care of
Rev.: W. A. &err, DAD., of San Francisco,
has now tompleteth r its'first volume. - The
twelfth number, that for June, is befere
us. The volume contains Eve hundred
and seventy-six pligei. "The pike is 63
a year, It is ably .conducted and neatly
executed.' In its 'early 'numbers 'tee cod
mended it' to -a faVniable notice. We still
do so, not that we :.approve of it ' entire g,
,
bat, becauae its geneTal features are excellent.
:The principle draw back to our commen
dation, is, that it presents very much the
peculiar Views of Dr. :SCOTT, relative to
goveinment; - making governnieikt; l
or.insisting that it ought to be, in both
theory and practice, .Atheistic. We had
some reason to believe that this unhappy
featare in a good man's sentiments, would:
but, 'seldom, if ever, be apparent in the
Expos:6p.* The contrary, however, is 'the..
reality. The , anther's , bias is peculiarly: ,
manifest. In the number now before us it
appears in the'articles headed, " How the
Inquisition Arose ;” " Religion in the India
Schools;". "State and Church;", and "'The -
Majority Rule."
It, ialo'be regretted that there should be'
this hindorance lathe itsefUlness of a peri
odicalwhich,presefits Christ and Christian
daties,in the Church and in the closet, so
evangelically; .and 'our regret is the-greater k because that this is the only Old 'Scheel
Presbyterian Journal in the _Pacific States.
THE YEAR OF GRACE.*
Our readers looked, with absorbing iu
twat; during the yearlBs9, for the weekly
letters of our London .Correspondent, be
cause, in addition ' `pie usual contents,
thsy, gave such 'fur and accurate accounts
of ,thegreat work of grace, in progress in
Ireland. A history of that precious work,,
in the form of, a. _volume, has been .greatly
desired by many. weals 'now fully
met, ip a, work by Prof GrusoN, ; 7l3e visit
ed this,country that, : year, and was.request
edhy the American publishers, to' uuder=
take the task which he has nowt .so' well
cothpleted. The 'anther commences by
giving a history Of the early plantation of
Ulster by theSeotch, in the thee
James,: refers, to the great awak.ening that
took. place imniediately after that 'event,
under the preaching of Brain; Li.Yrz:re
grorr, and CUNNINGHAM, and glances rap
idly over the history of the Presbyterian
Church until he comes Ito the
period embraced within the lastiVeuty-five
years. He shows conclusively t)itat
,during
this time the work of, the ministry_ was
more faithful, and that a spiriCofi:deeper
and more earnest piety sprang up.; iq fact
that during , these entire twenty-five years,
the seed was sowing - that has 'resulted in
the late precious harvest Then ; Connor,
the birthplace Of the;Revival, is described;
its progress' to Antrim, Pelfast, arid 'other
traced. Much intimating infor
matiorils giVen of the meeting of the Gen
eral Assembly of, last year. And the hap
py effects orthe Revival upon party spirit,
in suppressing drunkennessylewdness, and
violence, are clearly set forth. The returns
of three hundred*-churchea- 'show . an ad
dition of eleven thousand : persons on ex
amination, while other ..denominations
shared in the blessed work to )greater or'
less extent. ' "
From this book we learn that the ''sphys
ical manifestations': that were used by
some to:bring the entire _work into_ disre
pute,fwere 'Of much =less frequent occurrence
than 2a generally euppOsed:-'
placetiihey did not occur

produoed a book that will be highly prized
by every pastor and every Christian.

ENE AND FOREIGN RECORD.
The Record, for July,l is accompa- -
nied by a Supplement, containing the.
Fifty-eighth Annual Report of the Board
of Domestic Missions, and, by an }li
tre) presenting the Twenty-third Annual
Report of thee Board of Foreign Mis
skins. These very important docurnents
are thus put into the hands of all the read
ers of the Record. The inforrhation to the
ehurches must hence be greatly more ex
tensive than When the reports were issued
only as pamphlets, and much more likely
to be ,useful than when , they were spread
out through successive monthly numbers.:
We trust; that the Reports will be carefully
ready and be preserved for reference.
DOMESTIC MISSIONS.
The Board make the following presenta
tion of their comparative condition for the
first, quarter of the current fiscal year
Buring the first three months of the present ,
fisMil year, viz.: From the 1M of March to the
Ist of June, the appropriations to our missiona
ries.amounted to $46,570.41, which.is greateraq
$10,048.20 than the amount appropriated during
the.cm'responding period last year. The receipts
finis. been greater' by only $2,078.26. The .
coMmiiiionti issued were more numerons, by
fipli, than during the first quarter of last year: '.
From the foregoing, statement, it is evident
that the receipts haie not been in proportion to
the increased liabilities of the Board. It is,
therefore, necessary That the.;treasury should be
promptly and liberally replenished. ,
.t is anew policy in the Board to make
appropnations so very largely beyond their
ineonie. The wisdom of the scheme will
tested by its working.' Till lately,
was the policy of the 33oard •net to incur
debt ••- now it is, to appropriate freely, un
,
der ;the belief that a debt having -been ad;
tually incurred, the churches will givelnore
liberally. It is thought that they will. not
permit the actual laborer to suffer. The
advocates'of the plan will be expected, of
course, to put their hands deep into their
own pockets; and even those who do not
approve of the measure may yet sympathize
with the zeal which has made the, appro
priation, and, with the missionaries, should
these incur actual suffering as the result of
an empty treasury. Certain it is that con
tributions to this important cause should
be more general and more liberal than for
merly; 'and if the Board have hit upon the
plan. to effect this; 'they may claim com
mendation.

•CdiNA.=—The latest news is under date
of "March 30th
! Mr. „Lowrie's health was-not so unfavorable as
it was at the date of previous letters. He writes
himself in good spirits, and takes a favorable
view of his 'own case. Mention is also made
• of o.ll' interesting state of religious feeling among
the Chinese members of his household. WS.
Devine'' health had failed, .and it would be neces
sary for her husband to take her to a colder
plimate. This may . prove a-providential circum
stance, leading them to Japan, to be associated
with Dr. and Mrs. •Hopbuim, a measure which
the latter very much desire. Rankin giv . es
a favorable aeCOLIM of th.e state of•religious mat
ters at Ningpo. •He writes: "Yesterday, at our
communion service, four more, persons were added
to our church. We hope well of a few others,
and probably there will be further additions be
fore long., The church never seemed more alive.
Their daily prayer-meetings are still kept up and
enjoyed. There is, moreover, an increased spirit
of inquiry abroad,' a.nd perhaps more contempt
for idols, since •the fall of the idolatrous city,
Hang-chow."
Inuta.--The latest letters are dated Lodiana,
April 17th. J Mr. Walsh writes' favorably of the
state, of the mission-at Futteltpore, under the care
of Gopee Nati' Nundy. In the menth.of January
seven persons were received to the commueionof
the church at that place, and it was expected that
six more would be added at a meeting which Mr.
Walsh, was about to attend. Letters from Fut
tehgurh give, an encouraging view of the condi
tion and prospects of the mission at that place :
Mr. And Mrs. Broadhead had gone to 'MynpU
lie, and commenced their labers there under
pleasant and promising circumstance's. Ond or
two hopeful cases of conversion have taken place
at Ambala. Mr. Woodside is much encouraged
in his work at.Kapurthala, and feels assured that.
his steps were directed to that place
,by the proi
idence of God.
Artud.t.-. , .At Cerise° "it. was expected that ten
or more persons would be received to the church
at the approaching communion season. There
had been some aickness among the members of
the mission, but none of a serious chi - Teeter. " It
was expected that Mr. and - Mrs. Mackey would
visit this country during the sumraer, for the
purpose of recruiting their health. A new church
edifice, constructed of bamboo, had just, been,
completed at Evangasimba, large enough to ac
commodate four hundred people, and costing only
$230.
INDIAN Mmsrox.—At.the Ooodwatei station;
Mr. and Mrs. Ainslie had"-been afflicted in the
removal by death of their daughter. Mrs.
Ainslie's health had, been so feeble for _some
time, tit she r liad been compelled to set out on
a journey to the East, in the hope of •recruiting
her health by a change of air. The Creek Mis
sion school, it was feared, might temporarily be
suspended on account cif the prevalence of small
pox in the neighborhood. The country Ives
threatened also with suffering from short-crops
and want of proirisions: '

LIFE INSURANCE.*
The prejudice against Life Insurancels
strong, but not rational. EVery argument
in opposition to it,' when it is c.onduated
fairly and by a Company organized n
proper principles, is equally an, argument
against making May provision for the fu
ture. t ,
The insured are
to be regarded as a MO
tual aid association. The principle is, that
each pays a moderate
,sumin advance, or a
small sum yearly, and his , family is to re
ceive a large sum -at his decease. The
sums advanced are called the premium.
These are judiciously, invested, and the in
terest is collected annually and re-invested.„
This accumulation enables the Company to
pay the large sum promised; a sum always
proportioned to the amount of the premium
directly, and to the...age of the insured in
versely, The Tables are founded on.a long,
extended, and careful.: examination, into the
average of human life. /The greatest ben

little, and for , whorn,.: dtheiwi§e, .he has
made, and could make, no adequate provi

SUGGESTIONS.
1. Those to whom eltrtyi! is natural—who
can save and wisely in,vest — and still save
And invest the ineereit, need . not,for them
selves, go to an iosnranee office. Such will
<now faster without that .resort than with
it, provided they. are r,blessed with health
But even 'these might, for the encourage-
meat of others take a policy. This class
of mankind is but few in number
2. Those who are prone to let pass from
them all that they earn-;—toexpend, it in

TIER FOURTH OF-JELT.
The recurrence of this Anniversary can
not fail to awaken:serious and grateful•
thoughts in every,Patriot and.every Chrir
tian. The > Declaration of the Indepen'd
`ence of the United States; was an event
frapoht with the highest interest to ,the
entire world. Great: was the responsibility
incurred at ,that time, and nobly :was that
responsibility met. Strong' was 'the' trait
reposed in sod, and wonderfully , did he''
prosper that trust And ever since,„ , his
good providence has : heen with us as a Na
tion. - Our = domain has been, greatly•ex=
tended; population has increased at a rate
that has no parallel; and our Educational
and ReligioUs,progress,l2S kept pace with
the advances in other things.
Powerful, :enemies from without have
been encountered and vanquished;" and at
- timss the spirit of party has raged fear
fully among our own people. But still,
notwithstanding, all, contrary predictions on
the part• of many, we are an Undivided peo
ple; we live under one geVernment we
enjoy tho same privileges., At tines dark
clouds seemed to hang around us, but they
passed away, and the i storm we dreaded,
burst not upon us.
And that mind must be an.unrellective
one, that does not see great reason just now,
for gratitude to. God, even in the 'present
agitated state of political affairs, in this
country, When our condition is compared
with that of the rest of the world.' The
great'Empire of China is rent.in twain by
opposing parties. The insurgents have
aroused themselves to< fresh activity and
manifest renewed energies. The .determi
nation to overthrow the Tartar or reigning
dynasty, seems unconquerable: The King
dom of Japan, some of whose officials have
lately visited US at the National expense,
is convulsed. A powerfnl party there seeks
the expulsion. of all, foreigners, and the de-,
thronement and death of the present, Ty
coon, because of the favor shown to for
eigners. Turkey, the sick' man" of - the'
late Emperor Nicholas, is becoming feebler
every day; <the poiver, of the, Crescent is
hastening toward' dissolution. •
If we look at England, we find her com
mitted in a war With 'China, bedafise of the
rejection of the treaty; and the, 'refusal 'of
China to make restitution for the injUries
sustained in the .Peiho affair. Nor:are'her
relations with Trance., just now of:the Most
friendly promise. France herself is 111
uncertain as to the future.. The throne 'of
"of the Emperor is by, no means- firm. The
other Powers are.jealous of ,him, and he is
jealous of them. `, He distrusts, the advo-'
cater of liberty, and they have good reason
to distrust him: Anitria, Prussia, and
Russia are in no small of consterna,
tion with respect to the events taking place
around them. And Italy is all excitement.
The successes of Garibaldi in 'Sicily have
awakened the 'hope of deliverance trorn .
Popish tyrapny on the.part of Patriots, and,
have filled their enemies and oppressors
with direful apprehensions:
After this hasty review, every AMerlcari,
and' especially 'every American Christian,
will that he.has great reason for-thank-„
fulness for: the present condition of our
•country, whatever may be some of the un
favorable aspects. We haVe passed through
periods of great excitement already, and
yet the Union remains, and will still con,
tinue, notwithstanding the ravingsof finat
. ,
ics and the device of demagogues.o. The,
adoption of the Constitution of the United
States was originally they occasion of mach
discussion and great - appieherision. The'

ARCHBISHOP lIHOIfES ' is still greatly
exercised about the Pope. Ile has a
seheme which he explained to his people a
couple of Sabbaths ago, for making every
person in his diocese, even to the children
in their schools and , asylums., and to their
Siateis of, Charity and Orphan Brothers,
contribute money in aid of the Pope in his'
, .
struggle against =what the Arabbishop is
pleased to term, " transient Emperor& and
contemptible Kings! If we are not very
much mistaken, „Archbishop Hughes was
greatly aggrieved at the- sYmpithy mani
fested in this country for Kossuth and other
'advocates of liberty- in-,,Europe. But the
hoot is on the other leg this time.

The following REMAAK, made at the late ,
meeting of the Lutheran Synod, by, anel
whose opportunities for 'knowing its truth
,
are very great, will be read with unzningled
plea Sure :
There is Y iiaw undoubtedly a wide-slirOad ;
awakening in our Pennsylvania German congrak
gations. The people are becoming anxious, much
• more so than formerly, to hear and read the truth
of Christ. 'What we most of all need just now is
men of the right kind, and in sufficient numbers
to labor as pastors. To supply this growing
want will `be one of the principal duties of the
Synod at,its approaching convention in .Philadel
phia.
"Fustsiszn Tnastryrsitrawrsx."--Under this
head the Episcopal Reiorder, *a ,city,. quotes
from Dr. Thomiwell's speech in the Rochester
Assembly the sentiment that "the Church is as
much of Divine origin as'tlie Word of Ged," and
adds.—can Dr. Thornwell-find anything even in,
Righ-ChurchmanShip which surpasses
`this?
But, the Episcopal Recorder shOuld state
the entire case. Dr. Thornwell disavowed
utterly the idea of unchurehing the Mem
bers of any branch of the Church of Christ,
or of refusing to acknowledge the ministers
i d'. any branch of the Church of Christ .as.
true ministers of his Church. This greatly
changes the features of the whole affair.
