BA.rfxbx, Srax, Nov. 4,1861..
Dnaw nia :—The inquiry
here at present among .Atnerieans
" When: do you expect the Chow I" aya?"
The 'Chow 2='"(iya - is a small Siamese steam
er, of about four' hundred tons, running be-
tween this port !and. Singapoor r and upon
which we -are , tilrirost -wholly dependent for
our mails. It takes her about five:days to.
make the :passage from one port to the--
other, a, distance of about eight hundred
miles, and she is seldom more than eighteen
days. in making•the - round trip. Her aril-
vat is looked .for with-intense anxiety. -
There never was. a time 'when 'Americans,:
in this Eastern portion of the • globe mani
fested such :an anxiety :for home news.,
Merchants, missionaries , . and 'seamen, mani.-:
fest almost the. same impatience when' the
steamer is.delayedi beyond her usual time.
By our last mail we' had.. American papers ,

THE MANLY. AND KIND COMPLIANCE
of ; Mr. Seward with the request of Lord
Russell, awakened, two evenings ago, a
feeling of' the most, intense Satisfaction and
than kfulneSs` 'in - London,' and the intelli
gen co flashed over Europe has lifted up
from off-the-hearts ofmillions a very heavy
burden. Whatever, the press on either side
has done in the way of evil surmisings and
bitter objurgation from first to last, both
'Cabinets have . acted with noble and Chris
tian-like courtesy, respect, and forbearance.
It is deeply to be' eplored that there have
been great misunderstandingeon 'bode sides
among'the people, and mistakes as - to the
reality Of deep mutual respect among the
staple and sabseance of botivnationS. Lib;.
arty of the press is good, , aiid democratie
freedom is a blessed - contraSe with 'despot
ism ; but the abuses of either, or 'of both
combined ,are full of misehibf. :Yet even.•
here, time and the opportunity for the expres
sion. of feeling and opinion brings matters
to a crisis—for the most part'not disastr'ous'
to the reputation of Constitutional govern
ments.. I can• truly say that there is no
triumphant spirit here ; among those whose
,opinions , are worthy of consideration. It ,
-is regretted that Commodore, Wilkes was
feted and thanked so
_heartily ; but then
this act was • not, that of the Washington`
Cabinet, even though (as is also- regretted
here, as having complicated, this matter,).
the Secretary of the Navy thanked him for
his conduct., It was. of cou,rse believed
, that he had done right—now it is seen that
it, was contrary to law, and the, great thing
for us all is to let bygones . be- bygones,
and for England to be reunited in respect
and friendship with her, great Slater,
daughter; kindred-lieerator of the wcirld.-_
The morning- 0r the, on which 'the
news arrived, was indeed a gloomy one.
The Europa had previously come in, and
there was ",no answer" from Mr. Seward
'end the President, and that seemed to bode
evil:- True, the privates letters were en
couraging; andit oozed 'out some circles
that.the brother of Lord Lyons hadivritten
to say that all differen cesirould be amicably,
settled: Nevertheless 'it was tr'!gloomy,
forenoon: 'War preparations had- fcir weeks
,
Ceaselessly gone on; _immense pressure was
exercised at. the Admiralty'especially—as
areempinyee there- informed` me —unparal
died for many years, in -reference to the
*equipment of everything in the way of
fieets;-gunboats, Srm., and`Military men were
on the qui rime. Late in the aftertioon
,of
Wednesday; -the Bth 'Of'-iTannaryt*a, telegram
was suddenly posted up in the eityAnd the
effect lima-electric. Gioirs‘kieoyle `had been,
all theweek;atits Concert `for Prayer, de-,
precating , the sore judgment of war, and
had been bringing the ease :of the afflicted
United States before the Mercy Seat. -How
an answer to prayer' came. The news
met myselfc as I went to the plat
for& .at a 'great-gathering for prayer
in Islington - parish;` Where - Episeopaliaria
and Nonconformists met in holy brother
hood. It was a 'moment of deepest emo
tion When the Chairnian read out the
tidings, and it was indeed a privilege for
one like myself; who has -so many tender
as's'oeiai'ons with America; to be the organ;
-of that crowded"asSeniblyin an ascription'
of adoring pralaw and'thankfulness toHine
who had stilled the noise of the waves, and , '
commanded' that the sword should not; be
unsheathed. And thus thanksgivings at
this , moment are ascending from closets„
family altars, and froin associated hands of
-suppliants all over the
The' Slavery question coming up, more
'and -mere -general' attention. his been di
rected to the proclamation of Gen. Phelps.
Mr. Russel; inhis letter to the
which he deprecates war with. the-earnest
ness of .one, who has seen its havoc,in the
Crimea and India ) ) speaks , of Gen. Phelps
as a real Puritan, ready to smite as a
Heaven-appointed avenger of the wrongs
of the negro race, with the war-cry and
watchword, " The sword of the Lord, of
Gideon, and of Phelps," ,Russel made his
acquaintance r Lbelieve, some time ago.. It is:
truly grievous, and perhaps , may be regarded
as.'something -approaching the judicial,
that (is this true ?) Mason was the author
of the Fugitive . Slave Law, ,and that he
should be probably—with his , coinpanion--
a casus belli. . The feeling that .risesto my'
own mind,' that both nations-,have sinned
•against the Great G-overnor,Aand that we
are,indeed debtors , to his -longesuffering, in
his having hearkened, to the cry of his
people, and spared _us >from the- awful:
scourge of , war. seemed impossible that ,
England . will • resile fromq;-the request
she has made. •If ,America7refuse=;z-what
then ?: And so ,we couldhat fallback. in
in, faith and, prayer on the, wisdom and
mercy,of ,our God.
The Daily News says that every one who
has studied the question of the American,
civil struggle, knowethat slavery-is at the
bottom .:of the whole - affair. The ,formal
reasons for secession, by the,Sonth, show
that apart frot this the , Southern , States
had no grievance whatever to complain of:
This is well known, , in. Aritain, and the
sympathies of the great body of the, peo
ple are wholly .with the North. -_lndeed ;
such is their litter abhorrence of the brutal

• We•'aan'iremember the day when the
radical .notion of singing, in most of our
churches, seemed to be noise. If a man roar
ea along with the precentor, he flattered
himself that he was singing, and his pri
vate cOnvictiori was that the louder he roar-
Led; the- better:he sang. The consequence
was appalling. ,Everybody shouted at the
pitch •of his or her voice ; shrill, quaver
ing cries, howls, - and deep, bass groans rose
ttimultnously together; and over all, the
'precentor; with stentorian lungs, attempted
to:drown thErwild• discord, or reduce it to
„diargiony. It, is well for us 'that he to.
whom sutkpraises were sung, listens to the
Entitie Of a thankful heart, rather than to the
oiiiiiioreff - the untutored voice.
ii Thereirtimither feature that has been
wtindergoing -rapid improvement of late; we
mean the relation of the tune to the words.
•FiftY years ago„ 'such a thing was never
thought. of.' 'The precentor who could get

verses, Alba, moreover , 'sing loud enough to

.of the people, was reek
' 644 the 'right'man in the right place; if
not,
_indeed, the • realized ideal, the just
,precentor : made '
.perfect. Many churches,
however; 0044 - themselves exceedingly
well off wtedthey'coula secure a precentor
who,
„if,he* fell out of one tune, had a

if 'lie began-a long-metre psalm to a short
metre -

tune, contrived to cram the lines into'
L 'tiiiii - shert-metre without having to stop and
"lliggiltever again. Such a thing as harmony
between the tune and the psalm, does not

were expected for , the sake of variety; but
