NEW “YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1854.

Forum and the Vatican, or thoughts and sketches during an Eastern pilgrimage to Rome, by Newman Hall, author of ‘Come to Jesus,’ etc.,” records a series of observations in regard to the pagan nature of modern Romanism, impartially demonstrative of the iniquities of the system of the man of sin and son of perdition. Convents call for an inquisition, not merely in that country, but in this. The recent

He said in effect to Israel, “The word of every one of your mushroom growth of prophets is as good as the word of the Lord himself.” ; And in smiting him in so singular a manner, God smote on the conscience of the nation, saying, Fear the an expression of the weakness and patient trust of infancy, as to bring to the mind of the parent none but human memories and pity as for a sad and hap- less child.

To kill a lamb like this of Landseer, deliberately, would be murder in the first degree. Our young painters of animals—and would that Hinckley were not our best—cannot fail to learn from Landseer’s full, bold and generous handling, a treatment that shows perfect knowledge of Ana- tomical structure, valuable lessons, the fruits of which ought to appear ina larger and more thor- ough study of nature, and an entire abandonment peeple through the press, till the result of the labors of few Successive years amounts to some sixteen voumes. There is always a spirit of affectionate and earnest solemnity in what he writes, and his heart was evidently under the power of the love of Christ as the great controlling motive, so that all his volumes are truly edifying. The reader will not always agree with his views, especially in regard to the second coming of Christ, and some other points, but he never presses his own theory with contro- ve-sial bitterness or arrogance, and it is plain to he is suddenfy confronted by a stranger of dauntless bearing, on the opposite side of the altar. Fixing an unearthly gaze upon the monarch, “O altar, altar,” he cried, “thus saith Jehovah, behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name, and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places—and men’s bones shall be burned upon thee—and this is the sign which the Lord hath spoken, behold this altar shall be rent, and the ashes poured out.” Enraged at this audacious insult, the king exclaimed, “Lay hold on him!” but the arm that he stretched or more frequently, that it may be ascertained who are prisoners, and who are willing to remain. The Memoir of Josiah Pratt, by his sons, is an in- structive and valuable record of a good man’s life. He was twenty-one years Secretary of the Church Missionary Society, and after serving God faithfully in his generation, fell asleep in Jesus at the age of seventy-seven. “Tender Grass for Little Lambs, by Rev.

Wen- dell Phillips, Esq., of Boston, came after him before the same audience, and quoted the sentiment as above stated, and commented upon it as one of the most atrocious ever uttered, and not a single person denied that it had been spoken.

Not to any men has God ever given such a privilege, and ot many has God ever led through a pilgrimage so ong, SO useful, and at the same time chequered by so ew disasters and trials. We love to contemplate a inistry so lengthened and so honored, a family so hidden in the Lord’s pavilion, a household with the fortable seats and silence—provokes the inquiry as to why our American artists cannot find some equally appreciative and liberal treatment. Why not do for Page, or Gray, or Hall, and for the public at the same time, what is now done for Landseer, Herring, and Ary Scheffer. Do these gentlemen who make foreign artists so attractive, think that they could not make our own artists equally so with the same endeavors? Let them be assured that any such effort to do our own men complete justice would meet with an ample response on the part of the public. We are thankful for the opportunity of seeing Landseer and Scheffer. May we see them often, and many beside them; but let us also see the works—the highly honorable works, let it be remembered—of our own artists, with all the as- sistance that judicious light and comfortable seats can do for them. Our painters and sculptors need some free and effectual mode of communicating with the public, and they must have it soon. For- eign artists, rich as they are in advantages of this sort, feel the same need; and even in Parts, that paradise of the arts, the latest intelligence is that efforts are being made on a grand scale to meet this demand, These efforts take the shape of a per- manent Exhibition of Modern Paintings, which is tic Ll SR) e THE TWO PROPHETS.

Several other books of much value have recently been published by the Carters, among them the “ Lectures delivered before the Young Men’s Christian Association, in Exeter Hall, London, in 1853 and ’54.” Messrs.

Give me your patience for one moment, “If any person professing to be my friend should bring this argument—if any such person could be- lieve me capable of an indecorum so irreverent, and unnecessary, I" should simply turn my back upon him and say not aword. But to an enemy or an honest defamer I would say—just look at it; here am I, a sincere and respectable person, never uttered those words that you charge me with speaking, being, indeed, totally incapable of it, as wuch as I am of profane swearing. Here, too, are the manuscripts of my printed lecture, and my printed speech at Pittsfield, containing no such words as you allege. And here, too, is the natural liability of any man’s ear to mistake the word bro- ou have maintained your the sanctuary and honest shrine of private affection ; you have rolled this lie as a sweet morsel under your tongues for six years! We are most profoundly glad to find that there is a public sentiment which has found this six years sleeper, and fairly roused him to such discomfort, as to wring this late and reluctant disclaimer from thousand years that intervened before Messiah! The world against them, Israel in overt apostasy, Judah plague-stricken. But in mercy God forbade them to know it; and to rouse them to battle against idolatry, and to hope for the Promised, he raised up a long line of illustrious prophets. This it is which lends special interest to the weary catalogue of corrupt princes be- tween Solomon and Christ. That divine and desert-born system was standing now in the thickest of the fight. It was fastened on the rock Moriah for all time, and nations the proud- est and mightiest were rolled against and across it, dashing their spray over its topmost pinnacles. They could corrupt the nation, but not destroy it. They could pervert the ritual, but not obliterate it. They could pour in the tide of immigration and deposit layer after layer of sediment all over Galilee, but they could not annihilate Moses and the prophets. They could carry away stolen sparks to kindle the philoso- I

There stood the lion that had slain him, there his faithful beast, ignorarit of the fate of his master. A strange, appall- ing tableau ! “Alas! my brother!” exclaimed the old seer, while the tears streamed down his cheeks. And he bore him to his house and made a mourning for him. “Then, laying him in his own grave, “ When I die,” said he to his sons, “ bury me in the same grave, for the saying which he cried against the high places of Samaria shall surely come to pase.” But why was the prophet of Judah so severely punished while the old seer that deceived him escaped with impunity ! Because the great sin of the times which God was endeavoring to’destroy was idolatry. The sin of lying, he had not as yet taken in hand as it were. The Bible had not had time to form the public conscience on that point, as ithassince done The great question of the age was, obedience to Jehovah or disobedience. And the point was, to make men feel that they could not disobey him with impunity. Here then was a prophet sent to denounce God’s abhorrence of idolatry in a most conspicuous manner. That God spoke to him and sent him, he knew. But that God spoke to that seer of Bethel, he did not know. In taking his word for it, therefore, he put his word on a par with that of God. He matched the testi- mony of a man he never saw before, a man of Israel, too, who might be an idolater and a false prophet—he His flowers are the days when and the animals in its fullness, seer, with all his The picture 0 maternity in the His women are queens, princesses, stately wives of stately men, and beautiful mothers of many children. the flowers that never grew since we were young; his fruits never ripen on our trees with all our guano, though it grew without labor in our grandfather's garden ; that in his day exulted in the bliss of being, without thought or care, look out from Landseer’s canvas, thinking, reasoning, deliberately acting creatures, never made to be the slaves of Thus all that Rubens saw in his subject was their sensuousness, while Landseer tries to put intel- lectual or moral expression into whatever he pafnts. Yet for all this, and admitting that Rubens painted to please the eye alone—admitting even that he only saw the outside of nature, though he saw that his influence upon the mind is richer, deeper and more abiding than that of Land- admirable expression of a supposed interior life in the lower orders of things. f “The Twins” is a good instance of this peculiarity of Landseer’s mode of treating animals, although not so complete an example as might easily be adduced.

Inferior in beauty to no building in the city, its effect will be most pleasing upon the avenue, which above all others in this or the adjacent cities, is distinguished for the elegance and taste displayed in the mansions and grounds which adorn it. It will be a subject of lasting congratulation to the permanent residents of the avenue, as well as to the citizens of Brooklyn generally, that the original plan of the building was not altered to one of an infe- rior and less expensive character. The cost of the building complete, according to the contracts, includ- ing fence, grading, ete., will by $52,899; cost of the ground about $9,000, making the total cost $61,899, nearly £7,000 less than contracts could have been made for one year since.

378 = SS eee MODERN MIRACLES. ; —— BY OUR ENGLISH CORRESPONDENT. Ow the 19th of last month there was 6 grand cele- bration at Salette, in honor of the appearance of the Virgin Mary to the two children. Within a few weeks some strange communications on this modern miracle and its anniversary have appeared in Catholic pa- pers. The Paris Univers, which must be accounted the leader of the Ultramontane press, and the Dublin Tablet, which exceeds it and all other papers in auda- city, and in continuous, gross, and comprehensive libels on Protestantism, as if it were the practical embodi- ment and expression of all evil ; these two papers have professed undoubted faith in the Salette apparition and the revelations made to the children. ‘Strangest of all, in England, by an Anglican seceder to Rome, a con- fraternity in honor of our Lady of Salette has been formed ! ° The London Correspondent of the Dublin paper, re- ferring to Protestant doubts and suggestions of impos- ture, quotes a letter from La Salette, under date Sept. 12, written by “an English Catholic ecelesiastic of high dignity The name is not given, but I have learn- ed that Dr. Newsham, President of St. Cuthbert’s Col- lege, is the personage intended. This very reverend Monsignor says: “La Galette is certainly a wonderful -— and is doing great things for the salvation of souls. On the Feast of the Nativity (of Our Lady) 6,000 as- sembled, and the priests were engaged all night in hearing confessions. wy about three hundred came from the neighborh of Grenoble. The had walked eleven hours, and arrived at nightfal They, too, spent the whole night in the chureh, and the priests in the confessional. Although I said a late Mass this morning, I gave Communion to about (or nearly) 100, many of them young men of sixteen or seventeen. About three weeks since, between two and three hundred Protestants came under the directions of their ministers. The fact is, the cholera is very se- vere at a village about three miles from this place, and eousness, preaching works, Whi e Romanism, othere—our ul : not forgive it for uniting, im its faith, the various mem body in Germany. “ Mission,” said he, “rests entirely and exclusively on the foundation of the Church, Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ crucified. It wants nothing but the Bible, all the Bible, living again in the life of Christians. It wants only to exist by grace, for they who labor in it are only saved by grace.” Gambling in various forms, tolerated and traded in by German Governments, and its disastrous conse- quences, was one of the subjects considered, and a peti- tion was voted to all the States of Germany, praying for the abolition of games of chance. After this, Dr. Schaff, Professor of Theology at Mer- cersburg, Pensylvania, United States, was ealled on to address the Assembly on the following subject: The Evangelical Church of North America,-regarded in its Relations with the Evangelical Church in Germany. The correspondent of the London Christian Times gives a brief notice of Dr. Schaff’s paper, remarking that “the importance of the subject is seen in the present state of increasing emigration, which now amounts to more than 150,000 persons every year, and has already made the German population of the United States exceed four millions. The extreme necessities, physical, moral, and religious, of this self-expatriated population suffer not Germany to be indifferent. Therefore, after hear- ing Dr. Schaff, and then MM. Krummacher, Sander, Kayser, and Kapf, on the same subject, the assembly passed various resolutions, all baving for their object the means likely to be most suitable for affording help to our fellow-citizens beyond the ocean. Dr. Schaff’s paper, written in an elevated style, and with a large- ness of sentiment and an energy altogether American, treats on the three following points: 1. The import- ance of America in the future destinies of the Charch of Jesus Christ. 2. The present state of the American and German Churches. 3. The relations that now ex-

a great terror has spread throughout the country. A conviction arose in the minds of all, Catholics and Pro- testante, that devotion to the Blessed Virgin is the real preservative. This conviction was forced by the Pro- testants upon their ministers; and now these ministers earnestly and zealously recommend a pilgrimage to La Salette. In the case of the 300 mentioned above, the ministers went further: they told their people that if they wished to escape the cholera, they must make the pilgrimage, give money in honor of the Blessed Virgin, and get Masses said. These things (he adds) must pro- duce great results.” One would like to know something more of these Protestants and their ministers. Another letter bearing date four days later, and ad- dressed to the editor of the Zabd/et, from La Salette, has a similar statement regarding the Protestants. “The Miesioners of La Salette,” says this writer, “feel truly grateful to the editor of the Tablet for the good that has been done by his advocacy of the truth of the ap- parition,” And further; “Already, in anticipation of the festival of the 19th inst., the anniversary of the apparition of Our Lady, a vast number of pilgrims are assembled here from every part of France, as well as from Italy and Spain. . ‘ But nothing has, perhaps, of late equalled the grand spectacle at La Salette on the 8th inst., the Na- tivity of Our Blessed Lady. The cholera is spreading terror through the neighboring villages, especially that of La Mure; hence, when certain parish priests an- nounced on the previous Sunday that they would con- duct as many of their parishioners as would accompa- py them to the holy mountain, so eagerly was this in- vitation accepted, that, early on the morning of the Nativity no Jess than ten parish priests had led their flocks up the mountain preceded by banners, the vast multitudes singing, in procession, the Litany and Hymn of the Blessed Virgin. The number of people assem- bled was not less than sixthousand. Upwards of forty Masses were celebrated on that morning; and the num- ber of Communions on that and the following day was not less than three thousand five hundred. . , NO one who was present can ever forget the Mass celebrated at the Monument of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin; more especially the sight pre- sented, when at the solemn moment of the Elevation, : Shah shhh GLH ishes had departed. The labors and privations they had undergone in their journey somal as nothing to any of them, and the peace of mind and joy they felt at La Salette amply compensated for all.” Here the Protestants figure in a procession : “Tt is well known that there are Protestants in several of the villages not far from La Salette. Strange to eay, not less than 140 of these had accompanied the pilgrims, and I have been informed, on the best author- ity, that many have begged to be received into the church. It is certain also, that in the forementioned villages the Protestants now regularly join in the pro- cessions made every evening to implore the mercy of God through the intercession of Our Blessed Lady. A still more remarkable fact is, that in various instances their ministers have actually encouraged them to do so. . . . . Imay add that the interest of the pro- ceesions at La Salette has been greatly increased by the presence of Melanie, called in religion, Sister Mary of or cone now residing in the Convent of Providence, ““Maximin is at present in Rome, but is ex } , pected at - oi — the anniversary of the Apparition, on Where the boy Maximin is at present, or whether permitted to return from Rome I do not know, but the girl Melanie is in England ; why, it is not easy to say, unless what remains to be said here may help to ex. plain the object of her removal. She was brought to England by the aforegaid Dr. Newsham on his return and she has been placed with the nuns of Mount Car. mel, near Darlington, in the north of England. The appropriate commentary on all this is furnished by an extract from an entirely trustworthy Paris correspond- ent of the London Christian Times, under date Sep- tember 27: “Other miracles venerated and exalted by bishops are now unveiled as having been the result of fraud Such is the miraculous apparition of the Virgin of La Salette to two shepherd children of the mountains of Isére. This miracle is proclaimed to be false, and the persons who played their part in it are un- masked by the Catholic ecelesiasties of the diocese of Grenoble. The following are the conclusions: ‘1 That the account of the lady to the two shepherds, the fundamental document of La Salette, has been falsified on the essential points, and with the most aggravated circumstances. 2. That none of the prescriptions of the Council of Trent (25th session) were observed 3 That the miracles are apocryphal. 4. That the doc. trinal charge of Sept. 19, 1851, rests on nothing but errors. 5. That to cause this charge to be accepted recourse has been had, turn by turn, to persecution or to favor. 6. That Rome has not recognized the appari- tion. 7. That the conduct and recent predictions of the two shepherds—predictions impious, heretical anarchical, liberticide—too well known at Grenoble and in the diocese, far from commending belief in La Salette, are repugnant to it, 8. That the apparition is reduced to the promenade upon the mountain of La Salette, of an enthusiastic nun, pointed out by name, and placed in the impossibility of proving an alibi. 9. That La Salette, consequently, contains a capital heresy, and introduces rationalism into the church b authority.” m The terrible lines of Cowper will occur to the reader: “ Hear the just Judge, the judgment of of the skies ; He that hates truth shall be the dupe of lies ; And he that wili be cheated to the last, Delusion strong as hell shal! bind him fast.” Tae Krecuentac: Tae Inver Mission.—Some three years since the Pedestrian Correspondent of the Inde- pendent made its readers acquainted with the institu- tion and operation of the Inner Mission in Germany. This year the mcre formal proceedings of the Kirchen- tag were supplemented by proceedings in reference to this mission. An American Divire, Dr. Schaff, of Mercersburg, Pa., was present, and through him, doubt- less, the American churcheé will hear somewhat of these proceedings, which from an outline report before mé appear to have been highly interesting. Dr. Wichern gave an account of the labors of the Commit- tee in an address of two hours duration, which was listened to with warm interest. At the close of his address, he explained the principles of the Inner Mis- sion, such as he himself conceived it should be; and he fully justified those principles against the unintelli- gent and sometimes heartless attacks of which they have been tle object. Sometimes his mission has been held up as a mere work of humanism, independent of the Gospel. Sometimes it is said to favor Separatism. Sometimes it is said to be a propaganda of eel f-right- ist, and that are to be established, between those churches and these of their mother country. Next day, the learned Professor, in another place, and unfortu- nately before a very small audience, gave some very interesting details concerning the political and religi- gious life of this America, whither political men, reli- gious men, and working men equally direct their at- tention, and whither they go, by every steamer, to plunge into a future that no one can possibly foresee. A fine spirit of beneficence, freedom, and hope, breath- ed through these addresses of Dr. Schaff, that singu- larly contrasted with the involuntary servility of ex- pression that prevails under our old systems of State religions. After hearing the speaker on this last occa- sion, one of our friends, M. Je Pasteur Grandpierre, rose and presented him frank and cordial thanks, and added: ‘If I hada proposal to make or a vote to give, it should be that Prof. Schaff, instead of returning to America to resume his course of Theology, should re- main in Europe as Missionary, and go from city to city to revive our churches, by speaking to them of Young America, as he has now spoken to us.’ Dr. Schaff, we must say, is so much the more convincing, as he is far from looking on his adopted country with the eye of an enthusiast; but, on the contrary, pointe out its blemishes and its defects very freely.” Among the subjects reported as first engaging the attention of the sectional meetings and then of the Great Assembly, were these: “ «Houses of Abandoned Chil ‘ren’ (Rettungsbiuser ;) ‘The Sanctification of the Lord’s Day;’ ‘The Spirit of Association, in Relation to the Inner Miesion ;’ ‘ Means for Making the Word of God penetrate and prevail in Prisons ;’ ‘The Interior Mission of the Universities.’ In this last section, Prof. Hundeshagen, of Heidelberg, presented a paper, which, by common consent, is re- garded as the most distinguishéd of all that were heard during the whole period of the Kirchentag. As fruit of the learning, faith, and charity which characterize this excellent man, the influence of this address will not be limited to the narrow precinct of the section where it was delivered, for it will be printed, and will spread Oral, Ul LuesuBy Wworumg, varcevtucruhs werd UnpEp-a in considering: 1. ‘Christian Associations of Workmen and Youth; 2. ‘Religious Art.’ (This was under the direction of M. von Bethmann-Hollweg, who has him- self treated of this interesting subject, under a point of view more practical than theoretical.) 3. ‘ Confer- ence of Schoolmasters’ Associations,’ ” “M. von Bethmann-Hollweg closed the business with an address replete with delicacy, emotion and humility, on the happiness which he had experienced, through- out the Kirchentag in bearing testimony to the Gospel of our Saviour in his own native city. Ever since he came to a knowledge of this Gospel, of which he knew nothing in his youth, he had entertained a desire to be able, one day, to fulfil among his fellow-citizens ‘this humble ministerial service.” God has granted him these days in his advanced age, and he blesses him from the bottom of his heart. The President again address- ed a few words of acknowledgment to the civil and ecclesiastical authorities of Frankfort, and then all hearts united in a last prayer, and in that beautiful thanksgiving-song, Nun danket alle Gott ! Tue Late Rev. W. Jay.—The religious press and the Christian public, especially aged disciples, are just now occupied with the “Auto-biography of William Jay.” Regret is expressed that the auto-biography is not fuller, and that it was written after the venera- ble pastor had reached the period of three score and ten years. The personal recollections and anecdotes are eurious, and bring vividly back the past. Take an anecdote of Mr. Ryland, father of the late Dr. Ryland, the highly-esteemed head of the Bristol Baptist Col- lege: “ Speaking of him one day to Mr. Hall, he related the following occurrence: ‘When I was quite a lad, my father took me to Mr. Ryland’s schoo! at Northampton. That afternoon I drank tea with him in the parlor. Mr. Ryland was violently against the American war; and the subject happening to be mentioned, he rose and said, with a fierce countenance and loud voice, ‘If I was Gen. Washington, I would summon all my officers around me, and make them bleed from their arms into a basin, and dip their swords from its contents, and swear that they would not sheathe them till Awerica had gained her independence.’ 1 was perfectly terri- fied. ‘What a master, thought I, ‘am 1 to be left un- der !’ and when I went to bed, I could not for some time go to sleep.’ “Burke’s Life,” by Prior, has just for the firet time been made accessible to the many, by a cheap reprint. There are those who appear to think that George III and his Lord North were England, and are still Eng- land; and “never, never forgiving” the successful re- volt of “the Englishmen in America.” But Ryland and Burke were “ Britich,” and are now the British in this old controversy. What said Burke on the attempt to coerce “the Englishmen in America”? “Again and again, revert to your old principles— seek peace and ensure it; leave America, if she has taxable matter in her, to tax herself. I am not here going into the distinctions of rights, nor attempting to mark their boundaries. I do not enter into these me- taphysical distinctions ; I hate the very sound of them. Leave the Americans as they anciently stood, and these distinctions, born of our unhappy contest, will die along with it. They and we, and their and our ancestors, have been happy under that system. Let the memory of all actions in contradiction to that good old mode, on both sides, be extinguished forever. Be content to bind America by laws of trade; you have always done it. Let this be your reason for binding their trade. Do not burthen them with taxes; you were not used to do so from the beginning. Let this be your reason for not taxing. These are the argu- ments of states and kingdoms. Leave the rest to the schools, for there only they may be diseussed with safety. But if intemperately, unwisely, fatally, you sophisticate and poison the very source of government, by urging subtle deductions and consequences odious to those you govern, from the unlimited and illimitable nature of supreme sovereignty, you will teach them by these means to call that sovereignty itself in question, When you drive him hard, the boar will turn upon the hunters. Jf that sovereignty and their freedom cannot be reconciled, which will they take? They will cast your sovereignty into your face. No body of men will be ar- gued into slavery. Sir, let the gentlemen on the other side call forth all their ability; let the best of them get up and tell me, what one character of liberty the Americans have, and what one brand of slavery they are free from; if they are bound in their property and industry by all the restraints you can imagine on com- merce, and at the eame time are made pack-horses of every tax you choose to impose, without the least share in granting them. When they bear the burdens of unlimited monopoly, will you bring them to bear the burdens of unlimited revenue toof The English-

Oh miserable and infatuated ministers! miserable and undone country! not to know that right signifies nothing without might; that the claim without the power of enforcing it was nugatory and idle in the copyhold of rival states or of immense bodies of people. Ob, says a a full of his prerogative of dominion over a few beasts of the field, there is excellent wool on the back of a wolf and therefore he must be sheared. What! shear a wolf! Yes. But will he comply! Have you considered the trouble? How will you get this wool? Ob, I have considered nothing, and I will consider nothing but my right ; a wolf is an animal that has wool; all animals that have wool are to be shorn, and therefore I will shear the wolf. This was just the kind of ae oage | urged by the minister, and this the counsel he ha given. But “ England”—that is George III, Lord North, and a score or two of borough-mongers who will not die— “England,” quoth the Boston Courier, ‘‘ will never for- give us for throwing off the yoke of her dominion, for “establishing a rival commerce to her own, and for striking that blow at her naval supremacy which rank- les in her bosom to this hour. We repeat, that for these things she will never forgive us—never—never— never!” Tue German Faruertanp.—Last week’s Punch had a spirited parody of the song of the German Patriot Arndt. Punch, therefore, has been seized and inter- dicted at Berlin. WHAT IS THE GERMAN’S FATHERLAND! What is the German’s Fatherland! The world would like to understand, And why the German holds it worth More than another tract of earth! Is it a land of bright sunshine ! Is it a land of corn and wine?

Or care a fig about its fruits If they but serve to fatten brutes! The Fatherland of Germans, then, Should be a land of noble men ; A land of arts, and arms and lore, There Fatherland should be, therefore. In learning, glorious art and song, The German's Fatherland is strong ; Arms, to», the brave Teutonic breed To wield, like men, are good at need.

Communications, WESTERN RESERVE COLLEGE, " SOURCES OF EMBARRASSMENT,

_ We have presented a brief view of the pledges given for the support of this institution previous to 1840, and the expenditure made by the Trustees relying upon these pledges. It has been thought strange that with such large donations, the college should still be embarrassed, and public sentiment has often appeared to hold us responsible for an ex- penditure proportionate to pledges given, without regard to their nature, their mode of payment, or even the fact of their payment. Some statistics are necessary to a just estimate of our pecuni re- sources. We have referred to the fact that the do- nation of Arthur Tappan, Esq., did not become a permanent endowment. He gave his notes in the usual form for $10,000, and paid the interest. But at the time of his failure the payments did not exceed the interest due, and nothing was left for the investment. The next largest of the New-York subscriptions was that of Moses Allen, Esq. We a: his bond in the following words: “Know all men by these presents, that Allen, of New-York, my heirs, 9 ss gy held and firmly bound to the Treasurer for the time being of the Western Reserve College, Ohio, in the sum of Five Thousand Dollars, to be paid at my pleasure hereafter, unless by unforseen occurrences I may be rendered unable to pay the same. In that case, I and they shall be released, at my request or theirs, from this obligation; also, I engage to pay the said Treasurer or his order, annually, on the first day of May hereafter, the sum of Three hun- dred dollars as interest at six per cent. per annum on the xbove sum, until the same or some part thereof is paid—this money to be appropriated for the support of the Professorship of Sacred Litera- ture in said College.” On this bond Mr. Allen paid $300 in 1831, and again in 1832. He was subsequently called on by Mr. Coe, and in 1836 by the President, who informs us that Mr. Allen declined payment, and assigned as a reason that Mr. Coe had advised him not to pay on account of the abolition excitement. Thus early did a member of our Board dissuade the payment of subscriptions. Mr. Allen afterward became em- barrassed and regarded himself released from far- ther obligation by the conditions of the Bond. Sim- lar to the conditions of this subscription, were those of all of $500 and upwards, and they have been alike unavailable for permanent endowment. Of the smaller donations, some were for such a sum annually, understood to be the interest of a larger sum, while others were without conditions, and were paid in cash or books. The sum of $30,000 designed for endowment, was never raised, and the greater part of the $24,181 failed to be realized, Yet on the strength of this subscription, the Trus- tees appointed two Professors, and though the inter- est paid was, for a time, sufficient to sustain them, the Trustees afterwards found that they had the Professors on their hands, without the means of support, The remainder of the $62,000 raised mostly on the Reserve, being less subject to conditions, was more fully paid. Yet here, also, there was great deliquency. The Treasurer reports May 30, 1839, as uncollected, $7,113 46. With trifling exceptions, this remains still unpaid. There were losses in oth- er parts of the country, and we believe it would be below the reality to place the entire amount at $25,- 000. This does not result from any negligence on the part of the agents. Much of the difficulty re- sulted from the commercial embarrassments of the country when the subscriptions fell due. The agency of Mr. Sheldon commencing in 1837 vorable influences and attended with similar results. To some extent, he adopted the same mode of re- ceiving subscriptions as that in New-York. Many of the obligations were in these words: “I hereby

God I am enabled to do so, to pay” &c., or, “I de- | man in America will feel that this is slavery; that it is| sire the privilege, if I find myself able to do so, to| ber is 866,486; the PENDENT. report for the whole the amount of this hardly necessary to d easily consider the sed from ligations. We are not aware that they have ever profited us at all, an inducement to make new and more positive pled This, then, is to be deducted from the $78,986 50, which he reports as the whole amount of the subscription. At the time of his re- signation, $38,600 had been collected, and there re- mained uncollected of what he terms positive sub- scriptions, $80,336 50. An examination of the s at this time, shows $18,360 of this sum stil! uncollected, and consequently abandoned as hope- less. The entire loss on this subscription upon the ground of non-payment, is therefore $23,360. But there is another consideration in regard to subscriptions, showing how the early efforts to pro- vide for this institution were thes ae ineffectual. The mode of payment is an imp element in estimating their value and availibility. During the period under review, there was not in this vicinity, an adequate amount of money as a circulating medi- of the country intoa cash form. Owing to the reluc- tance of donors to promise cash payments, subscrip- tions were rarely made in that form. The college, be- ing the soliciting party, must accept such donationsas it could obtain, and for the most part at prices fixed by the donor, and if possible avoid a sacrifice, or per- haps retain the property for a long period in an un- productive state. The first subscription of $3,000 made in 1823 to the Education Fund, is a curiosity. It consists of sums, from 50 cents to $500. It con- contains pledges of land to the amount of eight hundred and fifty-two acres, and nearly every do nor takes care to say that his donation is pa: able in property. Of the $7,150 subscribed in 1825 to se- cure the location in Hudson, $3,184 40 was in land, some of which remained unsold till 1850 The $3,000 eollected in Connecticut in 1826, embraced four hundred acres of land valued at $1,358, which | has been made available to that amount only a few years since. Much of the remainder was in books for the library. ‘The subscription on the Reserve in 1831-2-8, was paid to a great extent in proper- ty, and by much labor and sacrifice was made available for the erection of buildings and the sup- port of a Faculty. The five largest donations obtained by Mr. Shel- don in 1837, amounting to $30,000, were paid in land at the high prices common at that time. Heman Oviatt, Esq., endowed the Professorship of Sacred Rhetoric with $10,000, and gave his farm in Hudson, estimated at that price, in payment. Some of the land was soon sold and rendered available. The remainder was retained and became unsalable, except at such reduced prices as would not have satisfied the intentions of the donor. It was only in 1850 that it was sold and made available to the full amount. The product of the farm did not much exceed the expenses, yet the college has sustained a Professor for that endowment since 1840. Gen. Simon Perkins donated $5,000 in land, and the avails were mostly invested in a college edifice, Mrs. Rebecca Kinsman donated also $5,000 in land which has been sold at different times and made available for about the estimated value. It was the expressed intention of the Trustees at one time, that the donations of Gen. Perkins and his sister, Mrs. Kinsman, should constitute an endowment of the Professorship of Chemistry. But as the lands remained unsold—as the donors had expressed no wish in regard to an appropriation of their do- nations, but left them entirely at the disposal of the Trustees—as the Professors of Natural Philosophy and Chemistry were urgent that their departments should be provided with suitable accommodations, and as Gen. Perkirs when consulted gave his full approval, and even loaned $1,000 to forward the ob- ject, the Trustees concluded to erect the Athenzeum, and apply the lands of his donation in payment. Nathan Perry, Esq., gave a lot of land in Cleveland, estimated at $6,000, which, during the subsequent depression of real estate, was considered worth $1,- 500, and which in 1850, thirteen years after it was given, was placed in our permanent fand at $3,000, where it still remains. P. M. Wedell, Esq., gave $4,000, and paid in lots in Cleveland, which, when the severe pressure was upon us, were sold ata price much belew the previous estimate. We have given facts enough to show the manner in which our puve Jitiuc vo- cour and, thediffieulty in TEN: agreements, oftentimes, with great personal sacri- fice. But the public and even our own Faculty have over-estimated our ability, and demanded of us that which we had no power to perform. Our lands, however, have been of great value tous. The have been available for the erection of buildings, They have been the basis of credit, and lately, as the market has opened, they have availed to pay debts and meet expenditures, Another serious drawback on the resources of the Trustees, often causing serious embarrassment, was the system of Scholarships adopted under the ad- ministration of President Storrs, in connection with «the subscriptions then taken. According to this system, donors were to receive returns in the form of tuition. A donation of $1,000 secured the tuition of a student, without charge, permanently—of $500 for twenty years—of $100, for four years. A com- mittee on the subject of Scholarships, in 1837, re- ported that there were one hundred and forty-two for four years, eleven for twenty years, and one per- ers and that the amount of subscriptions for cholarships was $19,441, of which $17,450 had been collected. The system, under the agency of Mr. Sheldon, was somewhat modified, allowing a perpetual Scholarship to the lineal heirs of a donor of $500, and one calling for four years tuition to a donor of $100. He gave out not less than forty-five of the former class, and a large number of the lat- ter. The number of family and charity Scholarships has been greatly increased, in connection with the recent endowment. But that which we wish to show now is, that previous to 1840, there were outstand- ing Scholarships enough to absorb the greater part of our tuition, and cut off an income from that source. This system, when once entered upon, can- not easily be abandoned. If donations continue to be made, Scholarships will be demanded, ‘and the only safety is a permanent fund adequate to sustain a Faculty, without reliance upon any income from tuition. ‘ In the midst of other expenditures, and while President Storrs was iu office, public sentiment de- manded of us a manual labor department. This was established and carried on for several years, at an expense which we have not now the means of ascertaining. It is certain, however, that for work- shops, too!s, steam-engines, lumber, superintend- ance, and labor of students, we expended several thousand dollars, while the manufactured articles hardly paid for the original materials. But an ex- periment was tried that will not need to be re- peated. The students were benefited by the exer- cise, and taught that labor is not degrading, but it was discovered that there is always a sufficient amount of remunerating employment in the vicin- ity of a college without any large investment of cap- ital by the Trustees in order to furnish it. It was originally intended that this college should be car- ried on with great economy, and the salaries of of- ficers were placed as low as circumstances would permit. In 1836, Hon. E. N. Sill, thena newly- elected member of the board, and one who has recent- ly been a most strenuous advocate for retrenchment, introduced a resolution to increase the salaries of Professors from six to seven hundred dollars, and that of the President from eight to nine hundred dollars. Arguments were readily found in fayor of the resolution, and it was adopted, not however, without hesitation and anxiety on the part of the old members of the Board, knowing well the em- barrassing responsibility thus assumed. During a the Financial Committee, this enhancement of sal- aries cost the college $11,500, and if we add inter- est to the present time at six per cent., $18,544, or at eight per cent., $20,882, a sum greater than our present indebtedness, and more than four times the amount due the Faculty when the Financial Com- mittee resigned. The consequences of these embarrassments will next be presented. PrupextiaL ComMitres. m 4

Lesson ror Pastors.—We knew a man not a thousand miles. from San Francisco, who wes appointed to a charge, but neglected to visit. Soon the people began to complain—his congregation diminished—and but little was given for his support. He felt that his situ- ation was becoming more unpleasant every day, and resolved to reform in pastoral work. He cut loose from the cords that bound him, went out as a minister among his congregation. His house filled up—the church debt was soon paid, and an atmosphere of joy was about him. Sinking, the man saved himself by workjng among his people. We are not aware that he preached better, but his people thought hedid. In a word, his success was complete; and it was attrib- uted to his visiting from house to house. If all the ministers of our Church, in good earnest, go at this work, we shall have more ground of hope for a gen- eral revival, and will expect to hear less said about going to the Atlantic States.—Cal.

Removat or tae Orpest Barrist Pastor in New- Exaiaxp.—The Rey. Isaac Smith, of East Stoughton, Mazss., is the oldest settled pastor of the denomination in New-England. He has been at his post nearly twenty-five years, but we see by our exchanges that he has resigoed his charge and accepted an invitation to become pastor of the Baptist Church at Foxborough, Mass. Dr. Sharp was pastor of the Charles-st. Church Boston, more than forty years; Dr. H. G. Jones was _— at Lower Merion Church nearly fifty years. e may hardly look for permanency like these cases again while the popular taste remains asitis We need nothing in our churches so much as in the pastoral office.

Domestic Summary, Tax “New Ena.”"—The melancholy loss of life oc- easioned by the wreck of this vessel, is the theme of universal comment by the public. It appears that the whole number of passengers taken on board at Bremen was 425, nearly the whole of whom were Germans, and most of them wholly unacquainted with the English language. The vessel sailed from Bremen on the 28th of September last, and had therefore been nearly two months on her passage, during which, from the break- ing out of cholera, she lost 40 of her number, thus reducing her passenger-list to 885 souls. Of this number 222 are now buried beneath the waves or consigned to their mother earth in the neighborhood of the wreck. The reflections that arise from this appall- ing destruction of human life are painful in the extreme, It appears that the ship was new, it was her first voyage, and we have heard no complaint of her

The verdict upon John H. Smith was similar to the above, the jury finding that Thomas Newman and John Doe were guilty as principals, and that twenty- two others were accessory. Lee, Newman, and Doe it appears have made their escape from Williamsburgh, but most of the accesso- ries have been held to bail in the sum of $500 each. A reward of $1,000 has been offered for the murderer of Harrison. The Boston Chronicle states, on the authority of a private letter from Honolulu, that the treaty for the annexation is already prepared, and will be in Wash- ington in a few days, the delay in its signature having been occasioned by the ill health of Judge Lee, who was directed by our Government to witness the signatures of the instrunient in question. The treaty is to be signed by the Chiefs, and they are each to receive @ pension, which ceases with the death of the reci pient, with the exception of the pension to be paid to the King, which is to be transferred to Alex- der, in case he shall survive His Majesty. It is under. stood that the whole amount to be paid in pensions will be somewhere near from three to four undred thousand dollars per annum.

A SCENE ON THE HEIGHTS OF THE ALMA. The Times correspondent in the Crimea vividly por- trays the sight that met his view after the battle on the heights conquered from the Russians: On the night of the 22d many men died of the cholera. “My sleep was disturbed by the groans of the dying, and on getting up in the morning I found that the

indication exists that the cause is daily prospering. Surrty or Coau.—It is sometimes asked whether the immensé¢ drain upon the coal-mines from year to year, will not, ere long, cause a scarcity which no Tabor or capital can eupply. According to Professor Hitcheock’s Elementary Geology, there is coal enough in this country to last a million of yeare, eveg though the consumption should amount to seven million of tons annually. He says that the great Apalechian coal-field extending from New-York to Alabama, covers nearly 100,000 square miles; the Indiana field, 85.000. Add to these fields Michigan, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Missouri, Iowa, and Virginia, and we shall have a surface more than 27 times as large as Massachusetts. If we suppose the average thickness | of all the beds over this surface to be only 25 feet, then the whole amount of coal in solid measure in this country, would not be far from 1,100 cubic miles. And yet the poor are taxed exorbitantly by a duty on for- eign coal.

In this vast island there are at present only four missionaries, al! coa- nected with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Should men of scriptural views and genuine religious principle be selected for the work, this coun- igned, sued outa writ, under which the Sheriff took porn aro of the bankiog-house, and with the aid of crow-bars, ete., had nearly effected an entrance into the building, when the assignees capitulated, and un- locked the safe. About $400 in gold, and $1,460 in bank-notes, were found. The remainder of the claims, ed say at a quarter before 1 o’clock, will be sent out at 1 o'clock to be delivered, and will be irregular if not received, at the latest, by the 2 o’clock delivery. We have to mention, by way of contrast, that we recently received a letter at 11 o'clock on Tuesday, which had been posted in an U.S. green box at a pust-office, “up town,” on the preceding Friday at 1. In London, at the very latest, such a letter would have been deliver- ed witha two hours after it was posted. In New-York it took four days to travel —Daily Times.

A Yovurnrut Tea Panty.—A nice little tea party met together in the town of Daxbury a few days since, comprising two brothers and four sisters, whose united ages were 470 yeare. The eldest brother was 86 years of age, the second 84, and the sisters respectfully 82, 75,78 and 70. In the ordinary ways of Providence, so large a family is seldom preserved to so great an age.—Journal, corpse of a Russian lay close to the tent in which I had been permitted to rest. He was not there when we retired to rest, so that the wretched creature, who had probably been wandering about without food upon the hills ever since the battle, must have crawled down towards our fires, and there expired in the at- tempt to reach them.” Late on the night of the 22d, orders were sent round the divisions to be prepared for marching after daybreak, and | the next morn- ing the army left the blood stained heights of the Alma! Soon after dawn the French assembled all their drums and trumpets on the top of the highest of the hills they carried, and a wild flourish and roll, repeat- ed again and again, and broken by peals of sound from the horns of the infantry, celebrated their meet ing ere they departed. It was spirited, stirring, and thrilling music, and its effects, as it swelled thro igh the darkness of early morning dawn over the valley, can never be forgotten. Our watch-fires were still burning larguidly, as the sleepers roused themselves, all wet with dew, and prepared to leave the scene of their triumphs. The fogs of the night crept slowly up the hill-sides, and hung in uncertain folds around their summits, revealing here and there the gathering col- umns of our regiments, in dark patehes on the declivi- ties, or showing the deep black-looking squares of the French battalions, already in motion towards the south. Dimly seen in the distance, the fleet was mov- ing along slowly by the line of the coast, the long lines of smoke trailing back on their wake. But what is that gray mass on the plain, which seems settled down upon it almost without life or motion? Now and then, indeed, an arm may be seen waved aloft, or a man raises himself for a moment, looks around and then lies down again. Alas! that plain is covered with the wounded Russians still Nearly sixty on hours have they passed in agony on the ground, an now, with but little hope of help, or succor more, we must leave them as they lie. All this nameless in- conceivable misery—this cureless pain—to be caused by the eaprice of one man! Seven hundred and fifty wounded men are still upon the ground, and we can do nothing for them. Their wounds have been bound and dressed—we have done all we can do for them— and now unable as we are to take them along with us or to send them away, we must depart. “Ere our troops marched, however, General Esteourt, by order of Lord Raglan, sent into the Tartar village up the valley, into which the inhabitants were just returning, and having procured the attendance of the head men, he proceeded to explain to them that the wounded Russians would be confided to their charge,.and that they were to feed and maintain them, and when they were well they were to be let go their ways. In order to look after their wounds an English surgeon was left behind with these 750 men.- This most painful and desolate duty devolyed on Dr. Thompson of the 44th regiment. | Jos tm Sansonrr.—A Mr. Wenger, of Calcutta, has finished a metrical translation of the book of Jo) into Sanscrit.

NovemBer 30, 1854.] Foreign Intelligence, ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. Tae mail-steamer Canada arrived at Halifax, on Wed- nesday night, Nov. 221, with European news to the 11th. At the latest advices from the seat of war, Sebasto- pol had not been taken ; me seige, however, was pro- ing slowly, but surely. e The fait of the public in England and France was intense, and the disappointment daily experienced at the non-reception of decisive news was producing ible complaints. wns liable Sehuibts of the engagement at Balaklava on the 25th ult. were received. It were a most serious affair, and far more disastrous to the Enzlish forces than at first represented. ' BP, tS The Paris Moniteur has a conciliatory editorial on the subject of Mr. Soulé passing through France. The Emperor Napoleon having withdrawn the order rohibiting Mr. Soule from passing through France, Mr. S. had gone to Madrid by way of Paris. The United States eteam-frigate San Jacinto sailed on the 7th from Southampton for Bordeaux, there to take on board Mr. Soule, and convey him to Santan- dar. Mr. Soule proceeded, via Paris, for Bordeaux. Lord Palmerston had quitted London for Paris, on a secret political mission, and speculation was rife as to the object in view. An Admiralty notice posted at Lloyd’s announces that next spring a strict blockade of the mouth of the Danube, and also of all Russian ports on the Black Sea Sea of Azof, the Baltic, and White Seas will be strict ly enforced. A new route has been organized for receiving intel- ligenee from the Crimea, in three days and eighteen hours. The Greek firms in Manchester have drawn on themselves much censure by public rejoicings for the ill success of the allies before Sebastopol. The African mail steamship Forerunner, was wrecked on Lorenzo Point, Madeira, on the 25th of Oct. Four- teen of the fifty souls on board were lost. ; Thirty-five ships belonging to Edward Oliver, of Liverpool, were advertised for sale at that port on the 23d of November. Tur War.—The substance of the news from Sebas- topol is, that the allies had met with an important check, and had not made much progress. General Canrobert sends officially to the French Minister of War, under date 22d October, that “the French ap- proaches continued to advance according to previous plans. The difficulties met with are two-fold, viz. : the rocky nature of the soil, and the heavy calibre of the enemy’s artillery, while the French can only de- pend on their sixty-eight pounders, and twelve-inch mortars.” This explains the delay. On the 25th Oct. 20,000 Russians attacked the French rear, which was defended by the Turks from the redoubts, and took possession of them. The Eng- lish commenced an attack, and sent word to General Canrobert, who hastened the second division and a squedron of Chasseurs to their relief. The united French and English cavalry repulsed the enemy by a brilliant charge, in which the combat was sustained five minutes with the sword. The positions were re- tained. The English loss was 400, and the French was not quite so great. Tux “ Banshee” steamer arrived at Constantinople with news to the 30th. The cannonading was thin very violent on both sides and the damage was great On the Ist November the seige works were so ad- vanced that the third parallel was opened. It would be complete in 8 or 10 days, Menchikoff reports, via St. Petersburg, that to the evening of the 3d of November the seige continued “Loant @ result, The fire from the English side had become Weet.. The damage done to the Russian works was not mnoh, and waa immediately repaired, Nothing can be attempted against the Northern side of Sebastopol. The communications remain open. Loxvox, Saturpay, 10 A. M.—A telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles, says, it is certain that in the action at Balaklava on the 25th, consequent on the Russian surprise of the Turkish and English position, 400 British infantry and 600 British cavalry were anni- hilated, 1,000 men and 800 horses being killed in three hours. The numbers given are based upon the force that went into thes field, and those that returned from it. The Russians say they took only 60 prisoners; the rest are missing—killed, no doubt. 600 British light infantry were engaged, and only 198 returned ! 800 English cavalry were engaged, and only 200 returned!! The 17th Lancers were almost destroyed. All the Turkish cavalry, and two more French divisions have been ordered to the Crimea forthwith. The English fleet is not to be again tried hefore the walls of So+~-+~r~* LiverrPoo. Money-Market.— There is a plentiful supply of money for prime bills at easy rates, but second-rate, long dates, are not in favor. The prospect of continued high prices for grain awakens appre- hension. . Liverroot Breapsturrs Marxet.—The Brokers’ Cir- cular reports a moderate consumptive demand for wheat during the week, at an improvement of 4d to 6d per bushel.

TWO BATTLES WITH TERRIFIC SLAUGHTER NEAR SEBASTOPOL. Taz United States mail steamer Baltic, Captain Comstock, from Liverpool, afternoon of Wednesday, 15th November, arrived at this port Sunday, bringing 148 passengers, and four days later intelligence. Battles had been fought on the 5th and 6th of No- vember, both of which had been attended with im- mense loss of life. The allies had evidently been vic- torious, although Menchikoff’s dispatches claim the battle of the 5th as a Russian success; and there is an undaunted confidence in the tone of Gen. Canrobert’s dispatches, which seems to promise that Sebastopol was on the eve of falling. . Nevertheless it is impossi- ble to escape the conviction, that if this hope should be disappointed and reinforcements should not soon arrive, the agmy before Sebastopol may be in a posi- In a succession of fights with such wholesale slaughter, victories of an invading army, so far away from home, might, if their losses were not replaced, too easily pave the way to exhaus- tion and eventual defeat. it is also admitted that the defences of Sebastopol had been underrated, the bra- very of the enemy underrated, and the force of Men- chikoff in the field altogether unexpected. Generals Raglan and Canrobert, the commanders-in- chiefs, have sent the most urgent demands for reinforce- mente. The haste manifested to transmit to the Crimea every available man—Briton, Frenchman and Turk, shows the importance attached to the demand. Seven first-class steamers are taken up for instant ser- vice, and others are wanted. Tur 51Tu.—English advices from Bucharest, of the 10th, state that on the morning of the 5th, Prince Menchikoff’s whole army attacked the English posi- tion. A sanguinary battle ensued, which lasted till four in the afternoon.’ The allies obtained a decisive victory. There were severe losses on both sides. The English took many hundred prisoners. ERLIN, Nov. 14.—The following summary of a Russian official dispatch has been received here, dated St. Petersburgh, Nov. 13: Prince Menchikoff attacked the nort-east position of the enemy on the 5th inst. The enemy was pre The Russians stormed two positions, spiked eight guns in one battery, and penetrated into the English camp. One division (Russian) arrived too late. The Russians retired to their previous positions. The enemy did not pursue, Vimwxa, Monday Evening.—The following is an epi- tome of several authentic dispatches of the 6th from the Crimea: Early on the morning of the 6th the garrison of Se- bastopol and the army in the field made a violent at- tack on the right wing of the allied army, composed of the English Foot Guards, and the second, third and fourth Divisions, sians retired, having suffered a hea several hundred prisoners in the hands of the English ; the latter lost a great number of men. Generals Brown, Bentinck, Buller, and Torrens were more or less dangerously wounded. The prevalent opinion here is, that if such another victory is obtained, the allies will be obliged to raise the an The London and French press regard all the sangui- nary engagements from the 15th October to the 6th of November, as signal victories, presaging the fall of Se- bastopol, provided reinforcements are sent to the Crimea with proper activity. Enetanp.—The regiments under earliest orders for the Crimea, are the 7th hussars, 16th lancers, 1st, 2d, and 7th dragoons. A solemn requiem was celebrated in St. Patrick’s chapel, Liverpool, on Sunday the 12th, for the souls of the dead in the Crimea. Dr. Kinkel is lecturing in London on the subject of Russia; Rev. J. Cooke Richmond, in Liverpool, on Hungary and the Holy Land. Franoz.—The returns of the Bank of France for the past month, show a further decline in the bullion, equal to £1,590,000 sterling; the decrease on preced- ing month being equal to £850,000 sterling. A con- tinuance of the demand for discount must therefore have been generally felt, and the commercial paper in the Bank of France alone, has again increased nearly £600,000 sterling. Fifty thousand French troops are to be sent to the Crimea, England paying half of the expense. CommerciaL Errect or tHe News.—The effect of this news upon the London markets was very depress- ing. Consuis declined in a single week from 95 7-8 to 95 5-8, two-and-a-quarter per cent. me ee General Hels, FROM CALIFORNIA. Tne steamer George Law arrived on Friday night from Aspinwall with California news to Nov. Ist, $1,568,644 in gold, and 423 passengers. The amount of gold is larger than was expected. Among the passengers was Capt. Forsyth, late of H. B. M S&S Virago, who, no doubt, it will be remembered, saved the U. S. Exploring Expedition, under the command of Lieut. Strain, on the 23d of March last. Capt. F. has been promoted for his services on that odcasion, and is now on his way to England. The rainy season, which set in this year unusually early, has shown San Franciscans the great good of the many street improvements which have taken place during the last twelve months. Where but a year ago, in many of the leading streets, during the rainy season there was only an unknown depth of mud, there is now a moderately clean and solid road of thick plank. News from the interior mention that the early rains have been prejudicial to some mining operations, while to others they were correspondingly favorable. There is no complaint from the miners generally as to any lack of prosperity. Dadews is even more brisk than at the departure of the last steamer, and our streets are crowded with teams from the interior. Country merchants are all laying in their winter supplies, owing to the fact of the fall rains commencing earlier than usual. The overland immigration still continues to pour into the State, and trains of wagons and stock arrive in town almost daily. The cattle have suffered terri- bly from disease, and some droves have been deci- mated. Sanpwicn Istanps.—The Sandwich Island correspon- dent of the S. F Herald, under date October 12th, says: “The*topic of annexation, or purchase, draws its slow length along ; but on this most important sub- ject, at present, we are all Know-Nothings. You may rest assured, however, in the event of the U.S. Com- missioner not being able to come to terms, there are enough Americans on the Islands to finish the business very speedily, taking the wind out of the sails of di- plomacy. The whalers, although behind their usual time, are beginning to come in, and we have late and more favorable accounts of the success of the fleet, than the reports by the Wm. Badger. Many ships are coming in full, and so far as heard from, all have done better than an average busipayers contain indignant articles concerning the conduct of the British Consul, relative to the annexation of the Sandwich Islands to the United States. - Brooxtyn Mortatity.—There were fifty deaths in this City last week, of which six were from consump- tion, five from convulsions, six from croup, three from diarrhea, and eight from inflammations. Of the whole number, fourteen were adults, and thirty-six children. Crry Morratrry.—Last week there were 359 deaths reported to the City Inspector. Of the total number, 61 were men, 81 women, 115 boys, and102 girls. There were 6 deaths of apoplexy, 57 of consumption, 10 of congestion of the brain, 9 of diarrhea, 8 of dysentery, 14 of dropsy in the chest, 25 of fevers, 21 of inflainma- tion of the lungs, 13 of other lung complaints, and 8 of congestion of the lungs. There were of the child- ren 31 deaths of convulsions, 6 of croup, 28 of maras- mus, 4 whooping-cougb, 7 premature births, and 28 cases of still-born are reported. The nativity table includes 286 natives of the United States, 69 of Ire- land, and 39 of Germany. Wasnineton, Nov. 26, 1854, Tur Albany left Aspinwall on the 29th Sept. for New-York. The Navy Department has information from an officer on board that she would take the Moria passage, which is longer than the usual route. She has probably encountered adverse winds. The Secretary has strong hopes of her safety. The Spanish Minister is improving. Members of Congress arrive slowly. Wasuineton, Nov. 25, 1854. Mesers, Selden, Withers & Co. announced to-day that their firm has expired by limitation, and that their un- settled business will be closed by their assignees. They exonerate Mr. Selden from all liability for the debts of the firm, further than the law will hold him responsible. Crvcrnnati, Nov. 25. Ristxe or tHe Onro River—Tue Money-Marxert, &c., &c.—The Ohio River is rising, and there is now four feet of water inthe channel. The various landings are crowded with boats receiving freight.

Tue late news from England by the Baltic is not so favorable as was generally anticipated. At the seat of war things were looking gloomy and somewhat dis- couraging. It is found to be no easy matter to “con- quer a peace” with Russia, Since the days of Water- loo, history has furnished us with no such scenes of bloodshed and butchery ; and the end, we fear, is not yet. The probability of an early settlement of diffi- culties is no longer a matter of discussion or scarcely of thought. There are those, and that number is daily increasing, whofconfidently believe that years and yéars The ship Valparaiso, from Macoa, arrived yesterday, | more seriously injured than was supposed.

Both in England and France new loans are being talked of, and the particulars will soon, undoubtedly, beofficially made public. All the government ships that can possibly be spared, and others adapted to the purpose which can be charlered, have been taken to transport troops and armaments without delay, to re. lieve and strengthen the allied armies. Such demon- strations had an unfavorable effect upon the financial horizon, both in London and Paris. Consols were down to 92} to 928, with no symptoms of firmness, and both of the monster Banking institu- tions of England and Franee were shipping specie to the East—the latter having lost something over $8,000,000 during the previous month. Wall-street very sensibly feels the influence of the foreign news. Stocks have taken another turn down- ward, and a disposition to “stand from under” is gen- erally manifested. Buyers operate only to the extent of their contracts, while sellers offer new baits at each hook on the line. The arrival of gold and drafts from California tothe extent of nearly $2,000,000, on Friday last, was both welcome and unexpected. So large a sum was not anticipated now that we have a weekly, instead of a semi-monthly, arrival. As foreign exchange is at pre- sent below specie point, nearly all our receipts from the gold regions will probably go into Bank. One or two more such arrivals will materially relieve the present gloom and pressure. The heavy payments of the merchants are now over, although the amounts maturing at Bank the coming month will not be unimportant. During any season of stringency every advantage of time will be embraced; and payments which otherwise would be promptly met, are postponed to a more convenient season. Money can be had on first class indorsed paper at from 10 te 12 per cent—very little at the former figure. The Banks are affording all the relief in their pow- er, and will probably increase their line of discounts the present week. Actual sales of merchandise are now made only to a very moderate extent, the business season being en- tirely over. The importers and commission mer- chants, generally, take account of stock on the first of December. Very little preparation is being made for the spring trade. All are waiting to see “land ahead.” The “Government Stock Bank” located at Ann Harbor, Michigan—the prince of shin-plaster manufac- tories—has at last collapsed. The community will find it hard to get the gold for some $100,000 of these worthless bills. If all reports are true, some of the officials who hold the keys of the State vault in Michi- gan have had a finger in this matter. Gold from Australia to the extent of about $34,000,- 000 had been exported during the seven months pre- ceding the first of August. Most of it has been re- ceived in England. Philadelphia merchants are now reaping the fruit of their own doings. Credit has been offered there, to al- most an unlimited extent all over the West and South, of from 10 to 12 months, What was intended to be an injury to New-York will undoubtedly prove a great benefit. Two Bank defalcations have been brought to light the past week. The first was in the American Ex- change Bank for $138,000, and the other in the Nation- al Bank for $60,000. In both cases an officer in the Bank was the guilty party. The whole amount it is said has been secured. It is high time that some new system was introduced to check such wholesale rob- bery. The sales of Bank shares have been upon a larger scale than usual during the past week. There is a decline in this class of stocks as well as in nearly all others. The actual sales were as follows Manhattan Bk.... 1168116} | Bk. S. New-York,....95 Union Bank... ..1080109 | OviantudWeafth...... 86 Br. of Com.-....... 101 | Empire City. +. -..'10a784 Metrop.

I see thee!” Her large circle of friends in this country will be glad to know that a volume, to contain her Life and Remains, is in course of prepar- ation. HAGUE—At Albany, John M. Hague, Civil Engineer, aged 20, the second son of Rev. William Hague, D.D. His father writes to the editor of the N. Y. Recorder : When I met you in New-York, a little more than a fortnight since, 1 had recently left my son in Waltham, (near Boston,) where he had just finished the construction of gas-works for the town, and where his mother and myself had made him a brief visit. He was then in fine health and spirits, and I can truly say that I have never seen a young man of twenty years of age,whose physical development seemed to furnish a better guarantee for a long and active life. Nor have lever seen one who appeared to enjoy life with a keener zest than he did. On the 27th of October, while in New-York, I was summoned home by the intelligence that John had reached Albany, sick with dysentery, and that after having been better, he was now worse, I arrived here that night. He was very weak, but expressed great delight on seeing me. {n the courseof the next morning, while conversing with him, he sought to dissuade me from cherishing hopes of hisrecovery. He said that he thought his recovery was not et all probable. I endeavored to remove that impression from his mind, but did not sueceed very well in doingso. I then said to him, “ Well, John, if the event should be as you think, I suppose it is no difficult matter for you to meet death pleasantly: you know it is a Christian’s privilege to see in death a friend, not an enemy. Death is our Father’s servant, summoning us to a better home.” He answered, “‘ Certainly, certainly, it is so. I know in whom I have believed! Father, | have nothing to trouble me.” Then with a smile, beckoning to mé to incline my face that he might bestow a farewell kise, he said, “I wish now to bid you -bye. On Saturday morning,October 28th, he requested that the family worship might be in his chamber, and that all the household might be present. The twenty-fifth Psalm wasread. After the prayer, all had retired from the room but his mother and myself. Bhe sat at one side of the bed and Lat the other. She requested me to “ raise up John a little higher on the pillow.” hen this was done, he caught the phrase his mother bad used, and said, “ You must not expec father, to raise me up from this sickness ; | am too far gone.” en beckoning us both to lean toward him, put- ting one arm around his mother’s neck, and the other around m own, he kissed us again, bidding us good-bye. He did this with a smile ; with a tone and in a manner that would have been perfect- ly natural had he been taking leave of us to go on some ordinary journey with the hope of soon meeting us again. Before that day closed symptoms of typhoid fever appeared. A mild delirium followed which became at times more intense, and lasted until the time of his departure, Tuesday morning, Oct. 31. During his last hours he was incapable of speech ; but his spirit left the world while I was leaning over him, and uttering words of prayer in which he appeared heartily to join. FAIRMAN—In this city, Nov. 22, Mr. William Fairman, aged 42 years. His remains were taken to Newtown, Connecticut, for in- terment. SPENCER—In Brooklyn, November 24, after a long and pain- ful illness, Rev. Ichabod 8. Spencer, D.D., first and only pastor of the nA Hed’ tn the m Peewee + ei ouy ou was settled in the ministry at Northampton, He has publish- ed some books on cal religion, which are highly popular both in this country Great Britain. He was greatly and deservedly beloved by his congregation, and though there was little of the modern style of attraction about his preaching, it was eminently distinguished by strength of thought, force of diction, and clearness of definition. His efficiency as a pastor him the unwavering affection of his le, and his fidelity and conscientiousness in al compelled the re- spect and esteem of all who knew him. CITY MORTALITY.

The present Number commences the Tenth Volume of HAR- PER’S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, and the publishers em- brace the opportunity to renew their acknowledgments to the Press and the public for their continued confidence ard support. The circulation of the Magazine is now greater than at any pre- vious time since its publication was commenced,and is still sieadily and rapidly increasing. The same plan which‘has made it so pop- ular hitherto will continue to be pursued. It will aim to present regularly, in more elegant dress and at a cheaper rate, a larger amount of better reading matter than has ever been given to the public in any similar periodical, either foreign or domestic. Its contents will be made up with constant reference to the wants and tastes of the great body of the American people, rather than those of any particular class or profession. While it will be the endeavor of its conductors, in all its departments, to combine en- tertainment with instruction, special care will be taken to exclude every thing that can give just cause of complaint to any interest or any section of the country, and especially every thing that can offend the most fastidious, on the score of taste or morality. A large number of interesting and valuable articles have been prepared for the next year; the series of Pictorial Articles, writien by the most eminent authors and illusirated by the most gifted and popular artists in the United States, expressly for the Magazine, will be continued ; the choicest productions of American and European literary talent will be selected for its pages; the variety, interest, and attractiveness of its Editorial Department will be increased ; and nothing will be left undone to merit that large share of public favor with which thus far their enterprise has been received. *,* Subscribers are respectfully solicited to renew their sub- scriptions. Terms.—The Magazine may be obtained of Booksellers, Peri odical Agents, or from the publishers, at Tare® DoLiars a year or TWENTY-Five Cents a Number, The Semi-annual volumes, as completed, neatly bound in cloth, are sold at Two Do.taks each, and Muslin Covers are furnished to those who wish to have their back numbers uniformly bound, at TwentTy-rivg Cents each.

In presenting this new enterprise to the Public, the Bditors propose to supply a want long felt by those who are interested in Art, of a journal which should advocate its interests—a medium between Art-thimkers and Art-lovers—between those who have studied and desire to instruct, and those who have admired and desire to learn. In undertaking to fill this vacant field, we fe mise that with all the power given us we will endeavor to lead those whom we may influence to the perception of the Highest B-auty, or at least to the distinguishing the difference between that which is beautiful and that which seems so; and to prefer that which is true and earnest to that which is only powerful or attractive by display of superficial excellence. In this work we shall spare nv pains to secure the codperation of the most powerful writers of whatever country, and perticularly that of artists themselves, whose communications possess a prac- tical value the thoughts of mere theorists can never have. Our Foreign Correspondence will be the most complete and valuable we can seeure, and will be drawn trom all places of interest in an artistic point of view. ° Our plan, while it includes essays on all the Representative Arts, will not be limited to the purely instructive development of the Principles of Art, but will open to its Romance and its Poetic relations, and incidevtally to the esthetics of Dress, Music, the Drama, and all things wherein Beauty makes daily approach to our unpoetic lives. Criticism will, in all cases be placed in the hands of those who, by education as well as by feeling, are qualified to judge in the premises. “Tue Crayon” will consist of 16 pages, quarto, printed in handsome type, in three columns, and will be published at $3 per cnoum., able in advance. — W.

family Beading. LUOY, THE CHILD-MISSIONARY. CHAP. VII. My last chapter, children, was a long one, and in- terrupted somewhat the thread of my own story; but I will begin this one by telling you that Jack Jones and myself arrived safely at the Islands where our ship was to take in its cargo, and from which we again started for home, after a delightful visit of some days. During that time I enjoyed myself highly, even amongst a strange people, whose language I could not understand, and whose manners and customs were wholly unlike my own. The climate of these islands we found to be de- lightful, and the richness and variety of their fruits and productions made me wish for a small fortune and a few vessels, that I might take home an abun- dance of good things to surprise and please those whom I loved. And you will think, perhaps, that a people so favored with a mild climate, rich soil, and all the good things so conducive to their comfort in this life must have been very good ; but alas! this was not so—indeed while visiting different countries since that time, I have invariably found that those people most favored of heaven, with a beautiful sky, soft air, and luxuriant productions are those who for- get God most or love him not at all. Yes, children, the poor Greenlander as he creeps | . into his warm bear-skin to rest for the night, or spends his day upon the ice in search of seals, " which shall furnish food for the support of his ani- mal life, often loves God more than the Italian, whose blushing skies, perfumed air, delicious fruit, and lovely sea—with its swiftly gliding gondolas— reminds him that life has for him little of hardships, aml that in this world, God is long-suffering and merciful. We spent one Sabbath on those islands, and while many of the sailors went on shore to indulge in sinful pleasures, and set before a heathenish peo- ple a worse than heathenish example, we remained ducted, for the benelit or those™eite ma” and,con: the ship, a short service. After this was concluded Jack and I sat down to a meal of rice, oranges and honey, with several de- licious fruits, the products only of warm climates, and which we had gathered in the week-time; but we did not forget in these enjoyments, our heavenly Father, and it was pleasant to remember, too, that while a broad and dangerous ocean rolled between us and our native home, the same God and Father watched over all, and was able to cast us beneath its shadow again, in his own good time. The days of our sojourn passed quickly away, and the good ship which had carried us safely through storm and tempest, again spread her can- yas to the winds, and we were “ homeward bound.” The remarkable incidents which occurred during our return were not many, but the loss of one poor man overboard I shall never forget, and I am sorry to say, it was one of those very sailors who had spent the Sabbath so profanely on shore, and had allowed the Bible which his mother had given him, as his soul's chart, to lie quietly in his chest. Travelers, children, who go on long journeys, by unknown ways, require a-map or chart to guide them, so that they shall not lose their way, or en- counter those dangers which this teaches them how to avoid. William White’s mother, for that was the poor sailor’s name, knew that his soul would be in dan- ger amongst bad men and an unchristian people, and on this account she provided him with the word of God, which I have called his soul’s chaft, that he might learn how to avoid it, and that it might guide him at last to that port of safety, which we call Heaven. [It was during a fearful storm that William and everything about the door-yard looked neat and thrifty. 2 As we opened the garden gate she dropped the tool which she was employing in her work, while at the sight of strange sailors, her face grew deadly e. ” Has any thing happened to my poor boy ?” she asked, anxiously ; “0, tell me the worst now!” she exclaimed, while we hesitated. Jack spoke first. “He fell from the mast and was killed, ma’am—we are his shipmates and sorry enough to tell you what has happened.” “Tt is all right, but so hard to bear,” said the poor woman, busting into tears. We followed her into the house, and when she became more calm Jack told her all that she wished to know about her William, but when she inquired if he ever prayed or read his Bible, we could not tell her yes, and we did not like to say no, for that would only increase her distress, so we both replied that we had never seen him thus engaged, but per- haps he had sometimes done it unobserved—while we felt that we must add that he was not a constant reader of that holy book, lest we should be guilty of sinful deception in the sight of God; for we both knew that he was reckless and profane. As to the mere reading of the Bible, children, that will do you comparatively little good. You may run over chapter after chapter, until you know a great deal of the history and narrative which it contains, as you do of any other book; but unless you lay up its ¢ruths in your hearts, and practice them in your lives, it will be worse for you in the great day of account than for those poor hea- thens to whom its blessings were never known. We gave William White’s mother the sum which his shipmates had contributed, in addition to his usual wages, and although she expressed her thanks and seemed truly to appreciate our kindness, we could see that his sorrowful and untimely death had made a wound in her heart which God, in this world, and the heaven which he has promised to his children beyond the grave, could alone soften and heal. At last we came in sight of Whitefield, my dear, pleasant home, and Jack’s native village. my grandfather’s dwelling, and of the trees about it, just adorning themselves in their newest apparel. As we came near it there was my grandfather, busy with his pruning-knife, and within I hoped still to find grandmother and aunt Milly, rejoiced to welcome home again their long absent sailor-boy. But, ah! aunt Milly, the patient, loving friend of my most troublesome and wayward years had gone on that long and invisible journey which ends oniy amidst the loving crowds, and glorious reunions of the church in heaven. I fell on my grandmother's neck, and wept aloud. One soft, sheltering bosom of love, which had pillowed my head in infancy, yet remained to me on earth, and I blessed my heavenly Father for this, and that my grandfather’s loving arms were once more permitted to embrace me. I sat in the vine-sheltered window, and heard first about my aunt Milly; how fever seized her, while apparently in the full glow of health, and yet with no power to resist its fearful ravages. How she slept at last, as one goes quietly to rest who “has accomplished as an hireling his day,” and looks in glorious hope for the reward of his work. Her chair still had its accustomed place as, seated in it, I told my own story, and saw the tears of affection and gratitude course one after another down the aged cheeks of my best earthly friends. I brought them gifts, too, from a far country, but my own presence, and thé ‘promise wien? nate them there, and afterwards faithfully fulfilled, that during their lifetime I would never again tempt the dangers of the sea. Jack Jones, after placing over the grave of Lucy a monument of white marble bearing this appro- priate inscription, ‘She loved not in word, but in deed and in truth,” and having obtained the consent of my grandfather, that if he died on land he might rest beside her, again left us to encounter the perils and hardships of a sailor’s life. Two years passed away, and as the ship in which he sailed had not been heard from, we thought that poor Jack had at last found a watery grave. You must not think, children, that when I saw my shipmate depart and leave me behind, that I felt no regret on this account, or that I did not look with longing towards a life on the sea, notwith- standing its many dange®s and hardships. And perhaps you” sometimes wonder at the strange fascination which this calling possesses for the sailor, as it is one about which the landsman seems, to you, to know little or nothing. IT can explain it in no other way than this. God has fitted every single human being whom you have ever seen or heard of, for some calling or business in life. Some he has appointed to suffer much, that they may teach others patience—some to labor that they may produce in their seasons the fruits of the earth, or the clothing necessary for our protection, or that which seems desirable for the purposes of art or refinement. Some he has endowed with extraordinary mental gifts—not that they may be raised above the sym- | pathies and wants of their fellow-creatures, but that

How my heart bounded with joy at the sight of | THE IN a ee ae ever been suffered really to want any good thing. But I must go back in my story to say a few words more about Jack Jones. One cold winter's evening, before the candles had pleasant glow of a blazing fire, a young man, dress- ed in sailor clothes, hobbléd into the room, and I immediately placed a chair for his accommodation, while my grandmother moved aside the table, in order that he might feel more sensibly the heat of our comfortable fire. People did not then have, as they do now, children, so many stoves filled with anthracite, but large fire-places supplied with wood, and cheerful in their effect on those who surrounded them. Yes, many a long story would have been lost to me when a child, had it not been for my grand- father's famous fire-place, and an abundant supply of combustibles with which to animate it. The young man did not immediately take the offered chair, and when he said, “ Charles,won’t you shake hands with Jack Jones?” then I knew that my l6ng-lost shipmate was found again, and in our house that evening there was great merriment and rejoicing. / The ship in which he sailed was wrecked, and all of the crew lost with the exception of two, saved miraculously and carried far away from the place of their destination in a strange vessel. By some accident, occurring while in the perform- ance of his duty at sea, he had become a cripple for life, and had come home at last to live and die in Whitefield. Now, as I look out from my window upon its pretty church-yard, stretched on yonder hill-side, I can see the trees waving more thickly about one spot than they do about any other, and that is where the quickly worn-out sailor rests at last, and beside him cousin Lucy, the sailor-boy’s friend. eae --— --— SATURDAY IN THE COUNTRY. Saturpay again and every thing todo! Sweep- ing, dusting, baking, boiling, and stewing, besides cleaning up generally. Though the Red Cottage is a bit of a cottage, yet it takes a wonderful deal of i thinking and planning, and a great many steps to .make the domestic machine go steadily, without perceptible jars. Saturday is the day set apart exclusively to clean- ing the engine, getting the works in order, and pre- paring for a fresh start. Though the process is not poetical, the state of clean easy quietude it pro- duces for the holy time approaching, is truly de- lightful. Henry is thankful, in these times of hurry and worry, for a “ picked up” dinner—the bit of steak left at breakfast—eked out with a piece of apple-pie fresh from the oven and a cup of black tea—not set out in state in the dining-room with napkins and sil- ver forks—but on a corner of the kitchen-table with a leaf turned up against the wall, a huge pan of doughnuts steaming hot under their brown cloth cover on the other corner, and often the week’s bread in process of rising in a big wooden tray in the middle. He eats his dinner on these occasions (I hope) with singleness of heart, but not often indulging in much light and cheerful conversation. In fact, Saturday is not a high festival day to him, and he seizes his hat as soon as he has swallowed his soli- tary meal, and walks quickly away humming some plaintive tune, and comforting himself with an apple or a handful of raisins as he proceeds, and has great reason to be thankful if he is not hallood back just as he turns the corner with the announcement that thaspolasses..is ont. or the oil-iug empty, or some fal to comfortable housekeeping are not, having gone the way of all the earth, and must be replaced directly or there will be a general stand-still. Jim keeps his distance from the house on Satur- day, curling himself in the sweet-smelling hay in the | barn, and only sallying out at distant intervals to | reconnoitre, and ascertain how soon he may reason- ably expect to be welcome again within doors. No walks in the garden, or looking at flowers— no singing or book-talks are in season. The stern ,and sober realities of housekeeping life shut out

The expression on his face was one of deep hor ror, and I turned sadly away while they wrapped it in its last winding-sheet for its watery grave. When the storm was over all things were pre- pared for a burial service, and this, being the first which I had ever witnessed, made an impression on my mind, which long years have not effaced—and while the words, ‘We commit this body to the waves,” preceded that fearful plunge, a chill vi ror ran through my frame as I remembered that the “righteous” only, “ hath hope in his death.” And what think you must have been the feelings of that poor mother, when the good ship “ William Tell” brought back all of its crew but her dear son, whom she had fondly hoped to clasp tightly to her warm and loving heart. Did she not then remember the time when she knelt beside his cradle in infancy, or taught him in his youth to lift his tiny hands in prayer to heaven, or watched over him when sick, and cared for him when well, only to know that the blue waves of the ocean rolled above him, while she was a widow and childless. She lived in a small village, through which Jack Jones and myself were obliged to pass on our way to Whitefield. So after a safe and pleasant voyage, while the green hills, and tall church-spires of our native land rose on the sight of more than one joyous sailor-boy, Jack and myself prepared William White's chest for its destination, and solicited the contributions of all on board, that we might present his mother with some substantial proof of our sympathy in this her great trial. The spring birds were warbling amongst the branches, and its flowers were blossoming under the rays of a gladdening sun when we entered Browns- ville, the residence of William White's mother, with light hearts for ourselves, fot we were fast nearing Whitefield—but they soon grew heavy again, when we thought of her, and neither of us wished to be the bearer of such melancholy tidings. valuable blessings. So, the sailor whom you may well pray for comfortable home, feels the same attachment to his calling, which the artist in his quiet studio, does for his. Still, I was happy in the thought that by a little self-denial I could do so much to contribute to the happiness of those who had watched over me during the dependent years of my childhood and youth, | and that by industry and skill, I could afford them some gratification, in beautifying and- adorning my early home. I found on my return that Joe Bentley was still | alive, although not more prosperous in_his circum- stances than when I left, and that o y, who was instructed by my aunt Milly, until her last sickness, was afterwards cared for by a benevolent lady, who having no family toils with which to occupy her time and thoughts, fastened upon Joe Bentley’s granddaughter as one likely to reward much care and pains taken in her behalf. Of course, then, I did not find Lory in her old home, encompassed by poverty and menaced by want, but in a fine and richly-furnished dwelling, and dressed in a manner which became her station as the adopted daughter of Mrs. Richard Wells— the most wealthy person in the village of Whitefield. This good lady, however, never allowed her to forget her grand-parents, and through her tiny hands there passed many a valuable gift into those of her earliest guardians, But after I had been one year in Whitefield, both of these old people died, and were decently interred in the pretty church-yard of their native village; and there we trust they rest in hope of a glorious resurrection, which shall renew their youth and vigor to know no decay in the Paradise of God. While I am writing this, Lory Bentley sits beside me—and although her own hair is now whitened with age, and her step is almost as feeble as my own, I bless God that she has been a good and faithful wife to me for many years, and that neither our-

So she took her hands out of the dough and came tothe door. “Making bread, are you?” Well I ain’t a goin’ to stay a second hardly,” and with this comforting assurance Mrs. Ramble proceeded to en- lighten us about our Merry-Bank acquaintances, conversing with as much ease as if our Saturday’s work had been all done, and she were visiting us by special invitation totea. Carlotta stood fidgeting in the door-way holding up her doughy hands as long as she could bear it, and then declaring her bread would sour, and she must go, she vanished and left the whole task of entertaining to me.

She dished up the deacons and their wives, and the minister and his family ar- rangements, in a kind of potpourri. Whenever I endeavored to insinuate a remark, she waived me off, holding all the while a pinch of snuff in her thumb and finger, and, raising her yoice a little higher, went on as volubly as ever. At length tak- ing dexterous advantage of a pause she was forced to make to take breath, I slipped in the question by way of turning the current of her thoughts, ‘Is your husband really going to California, Mrs. Ram- ble?” ‘Yes, he is; and I feel as forlorn about it as an old settin’ hen that’s had her nest broke up. I declare I expect I shall be runnin’ round to the neighbors pretty often.

Time never stays, and three mortal hours had flown away while Mrs. Ramble talked on, and still she showed no intention of going, though she occasion- ally said, “ I ain’t goin’ to stay a second hardly.” Din- ner hour approached. I thought it would be cruel to allow the old lady to go fasting after so much ex- hausting discourse, and I invited her to dine with us, taking care, however, to forewarn her that she would not be surfeited with good things if she ac- cepted the invitation. She took off her bonnet at once remarking, ‘ Well, I don’t know but what I may as well, as I’ve sot so long, though I did’nt calculate to stay a second hardly. I reckon Mr. Ramble can pick himself up a dinner somehow, he’s kinder used to eatin’ in the buttery and don’t mind it.” (Report said that the forbearing man usually got his own breakfast before he went to his work in the early morning, while his he/p-meet still slum- bered and slept, and not unseldom his suppers also, while she was attending all the prayer-meetings and conferences and mother’s meetings far and near. Poor man! he worked late and early, but never got ahead any, and had not the most indefinite realiza- tion of what is meant by “home comfort.”) She took out her knitting, and, putting on her spectacles and adjusting her needle in its sheath, she clicked away quite comfortably. Just as I was slipping out, thinking to finish my sweeping before dinner, she arrested me by remark- ing, “Have you heard how mean Alumza Jane’s husband treated her because she bought a few things at the store and had them charged to him without his knowin’ on’t. Just as if it was’nt his business to provide. What's the use of husbands at all if it isn’t to get money, the good-for-nothin’ stingy critter! I declare, he ought to be hung up on Haman’s galowses.” She was still expressing her indignation at Alumza Jane's wrongs when Henry came, and sheattacked him directly. “ Well squire,” she began, “I guess as I’m here I may as well get a little law; I suppose you don’t charge nothin’ for advisin’ the ladies.” I left her detailing along affair about some dried apples, and got the dinner on the table as fast as possible, but as I felt certain Mrs, Ramble would never forgive me for any sins of omission, (though she lives in a most slip- shod way herself,) I was obliged to lay the table in state. When Carlotta came in to dinner, all glowing and rosy with working like a little beaver, I saw Mrs. Ramble’s eye settle on her with an expression which directly, fant" ims disegnegable to be said-to her things, has Mrs. Ramble,) though she profited ‘by her labors in the kitchen. Eating largely of the juicy, broiled ham, fresh warm apple-pie and relish- | ing doughnuts, she could not forgive the slight she | conceived herself to have received at her band. “Seems to me,” she began, glancing at Carlotta’s | pretty earrings and gold beads, which last the little | Gipsey will wear in spite of all I can say, ‘that you | wear a great deal of gold for achurch-member. I’ve | heard a good deal of talk about you lately; folks say you're terrible fond of dress.” Carlotta’s eyes flashed, but she only replied, “ Folks say some very | foolish things; don’t you think so, Mrs. Ramble ?” | Her soft answer went for nothing, and the good lady |returned to the charge. ‘ Why don’t you wear a ring in your nose, too? I think it would be just as “Oh, I am not given to rooting, you | know, and I don’t need any.” “ Well you'd better

proper.” Sell them things and give the money to the heathen. | | I’m sure I wouldn’t have them dingle-dangle things |in my ears, I wouldn’t be seen with em.” Car- | lotta glanced a little mischievously at the pious old | lady’s snuff-stained nose and wrinkled, weather- smiled at her own thought. ‘ Well,” said Mrs. Ramble, by way of finishing the subject, “I must | stand to it; they don’t look Christian, nor becoming | to Christian women; but I’ve borne .my testimony, ,and that’s all I can do.” Then she went on eating | her pie, and when she had swallowed the last crumb ‘she felt ready for a little more conversation. So | pushing back her chair, she turned to Henry, “If I | may be so bold, squire, how old are you?” with her | head on one side; inquiringly. Henry has a lawyer's ‘horror of direct questions, and replied to this home _ thrust, “ Really, Mrs. Ramble, I was so very young | when I was born that I don’t think I caught the | exact date, even if I heard it mentioned, which is 'not likely.” She looked at him a*moment rather | doubtfully, but then concluded to take the reply as | a joke, and said, laughing, “ Well, I declare I must | j}eat and run as the beggars do—I didn’t expect to | stay a second hardly—or I shan’t: make out to see | Mrs. Jones’s bonnet before she wears it after all.” She went on her way, and I suppose she carried an | account of our sayings and doings to all whom she | favored with her presence. | - Shakespeare, Hannah More, Jean Paul, or some- | body else has said, ‘‘Heaven save us from our friends.” J only say, Save us from people who have | mented here and there with little white ousdben, | nothing better to do than to visit and gossip on | | Saturday. JULY. “T WILL CONQUER MYSELF.” woo In one of the oldest towns of New-England, there ed many years ago, a little girl whom I shall call Helen Earle. Her father bad been engaged in the East Indian trade, and had accumulated great wealth. Her mother was a sweet, gentle woman, who correct their faults, and develop their excellencies. In Helen’s home there was every comfort, and every luxury that heart could desire, but she was not always happy. She had one fault which often made herself and her friends very unhappy. It was the indulgence of a violent temper. She would allow herself to become exceedingly angry, and her usu- ally beautiful face would be disfigured by passion. Her mother was greatly grieved and distressed by these outbreaks of ill-temper, and did all in her power to restrain them. She talked with her daughter earnestly and fondly in regard to the sin of such indulgence. Helen would weep bitter tears and express much regret for the past, but she could not quite make up her mind to determine to over- come temptation. The task seemed too difficult, and she shrunk from the attempt. Mrs. Earle shed many tears in secret over this sad failing in her be- loved child, and most fervently pleaded for help from

Him who had given her this immortal spirit to edu- | beaten scrawny neck, and I don’t know but she ! most tenderly loved her children, and endeavored to | cate for eternity. She knew that God alone could changé Helen's heart, and give her power to over- come sin, even though assaulted by the fiercest temptation. ‘ One day when Helen was very angry at some- thing which had occurred, her mother led her up stairs to her own room and left her alone. For a time she cried violently, then she grew calm and quiet, and her mother could hear her walking back and forth across the room talking to herself. She listened. How her heart rejoiced when she heard her repeating again and again, “I will conquer my- self, I will conquer myself,” and Helen did conquer herself. She came out of that room a changed child. She had come to the determination, not that she would try to conquer, but that she would conquer, and she nobly succeeded. From that hour she was able to overcome temptation, and was not overcome by it. She grew up to womanhood remarkable for the evenness and gentleness of her temper. None, who had not known her in childhood, would ever have suspected that she was not always thus mild and lovely. Helen did for herself what no earthly friend could do for her. By the power of her will she controlled her impulses, and this triumph was of far more value to her than all the wealth of her father. It made her a blessing to her friends, strengthened all her good purposes, and enabled her to perform the du- ties of life without the friction which irascibility always occasions. It gave her that true self-respect which elevates the character, and which none can feel who are not conscious of the power to rule their own spirits. No child is to blame for having a quick temper, but he is to blame if he allows himself to be over- powered by it, If he really determines, as Helen did, to conquer himself, he will succeed. The old proverb, “avhere there is a will, there is a way,” will never fail in such a case as this, for success de- pends entirely on one’s self, and not on anything extraneous. ‘God helps those who help them- selves,” and he is ever ready to assist us in subduing what is wrong in our own spirits. The Bible contains many passages which condemn anger: “He that is soon angry, dealeth foolishly.” “Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.” ‘Make no friend- ship with an angry man, and with a furious man thou shalt not go.” “He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding, but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.” ‘‘ Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” All habits grow stronger by indulgence. If you allow yourself to become angry to-day, you will more easily become so to-morrow. If you control your temper to-d:y, it will be less difficult to con- trol it to-morrow. Helen’s victory was obtained by decision. . To form the determination to conquer herself required more effort of will, and more strength of character, than any subsequent struggle with her besetting sin could possibly do. If you have any fault which you wish to correct, you must fully make up your mind to succeed. You must resolve that you will conquer. If you should occasionally be overcome, yield not to despair, but with renewed courage try again. “On yourself, and God relying, Try, keep trying.” Anna H. _—————. THE MOST APPALLING TIME. A pistincuisnep naval officer, on being asked what part of a certain sanguinary engagement was most appalling and terrible to him, replied, .“ 7’he few hushed moments before the battle, when, on both sides, we were occupied in preparing the instru- decks thickly with "sdhG" Pah, ant sprinkling the unshed !” ee The average length of our responsible existence, is about thirty years. Thirty years of suffering such as that described in the Bible as endured by a lost soul in hell seems perfectly appalling ; and yet, if we will look at these things in their true lizht, there is not one-half so much in such a sight to make us hold our breath in awe, as in following that soul through its thirty years, more or less, of mis- spent probation, which, considered as fragments of the soul’s entire existence, are but as so many mo- ments, and in seeing it during all this time carefully “treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath!” It is not when, as his threatened harvest, the whirlwind of Divine vengeance comes sweeping down upon him that the sinner’s position is most awful. No! it is when he is noiselessly sowing the wind—idle words, silly stories, proud, ungodly | speeches—knowing ali the time that “as a man soweth so shall he also reap.”’ ~ It isnot when the second death—of which the first is but a feeble shadow—is carrying on its never- | ending work upon him, breeding fell despair in his | sensitive soul, bloating, discoloring, distorting, and jracking with acutest pain» his new resurrection body, it is not then the time is really the most fear- ful; by no means. It is when a free moral agent, | with a full supply of the seeds of infinite good within his reach, he is steadily, year after year, and each year more busily than before, scattering broad- | cast seeds of evil—ad ulterous, unclean, lascivious | actions, idolatrous, wrathful, seditious, envious, in- temperate, “and such like’ —very well aware | while he does it, that they who sow thus “to the fles, shall of the flesh reap corruption,” firmly be- | lieving, as he will declare, the assertion of Scrip- \ture that “they who do sich things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” If we did but know it, that is not the most terri- ble time in all the sinner’s existence when He whom he has made his bitter enemy is upon him with his ' Almighty forces; when, incessantly, in the hot en- gagement, thunders boom and lightnings flash, | and broadside after broadside of crushing woes and | excruciating agonies and piercing pains comes pour- ing in upon him, and the smoke of his torment _rises higher and higher! No; No! that is not the | most appalling hour! It is the hour which precedes this engagement with such a fearful enemy—it is, (is it not ?) that

| , : 7 ont . | awful hash just before this storm of battle with his | | God; when, instead of running down with all haste | his rebel colors, the traitorous sinner goes hither | and thither, busily scattering all over the deck of probation what shall be only as so much sand, to | be saturated soon with the blood of souls, and his |Own among the number!—it is the hour, when, | with the full prospect of eternal death before him— not one probability in a hundred that he will escape it—the impenitent man is actively engaged in mak- ing preparation not against but for it! When he is softly, quietly and abstractedly, as it were, arranging the perpetual-motion machinery of his future mis- ery!, When he is assiduously and enthusiastically, though almost unconscious of what he is ‘really doing, laboring to bring into perfect working order, and exact- bearing, and full play, the terrible instru- ments of his own eternal torment! Sinner, is this not so? and is it not this “ most APPALLING HOUR,” now, with thee? or hast thou hap- pily already lowered the defiant flag, and, ere this, on thy soul’s knees before thine injured benefactor, been assured of peace and pardon, and beside, won- derful grace! a priceless portion in “the promised Land!

The celebration commenced with divine service in the nave of Exeter Cathedral, where an immense congre- gation of 2,500 persons were assembled. The build- ings are of stone, fine and imposing in style, and of middle-pointed architecture. The grounds will even- tually inelude about five acres. The cost of the whole is over £10,000. At the dinner, Earl Forteseu, a Low Churehman, presided, and handsome, and mutually complimentary and cordial speeches were made by him and by his Bishop, who sat at his right hand. In getting up this most important Diocesan Institution, theré has been no partisan opposition,—a happy state of things, which the Brshop attributed mainly to the noble stand taken by the Earlin regard to it. The College has now its full complement of 40 pupils, under the charge of Prof. Mosely. BOOKS. — A BEAUTIFUL TALE. EANIE MORRISON; OR, THE DISCIPLINE OF J LIFS.

John H, Hopkins, D D., Bishop of Vermont. The well-known work of the Romish Bishop Milner, entitled ‘The End of Controversy,” was recommended some years ago by he Romish Bishop Kenrick to all Protestant Clergymen, as a book he perusal of which would bring them back into the Romish hurch: a movement which he exhorted them to take soon, lest heir people should all go before them and leave them alone. That ork is still extensively circulated througoout all this country, and lany earnest Protestants have long desired a work which might ¢ a popular as well as conclusive reply. This want is now sup- ‘ied. Miloer is p!ausible, ingenious, bold, unscrupulous, and ithal readable. The difficulty has been hitherto, not to answer he book—for that has been done again and agaia—but to answer tin such a way as would enable them to meet the enemy upon 1is own ground. The well-known familiarity of the Bishop of Ver- nont with every phase of the Romish con.roversy, his thorough earning, clear reasouing, and brilliant and effective style, have all ontributed to make this one of the most successful of bis contri- ations to the cause of Truth, And the present position of the ontroversy with Rome, and the keennegs with which public at- ention is aroused to meet her terrible aggressions, will give occa- ion for the cireulation of works like this, which, without ever mmpromising or ignoring the truth still remaining in the inidst of rruption, yet, throughout maintains the most vigorous and tri- mphant opposition to the errors of Rome. : Published by PUDNEY & RUSSELL, 312-4 79 John street, N.

AGUERREOTYPES AND PHOTOGRAPHS.— LAWRENCE'S GALLERY is one of the most splendid and extensive in the world, and his pictures are not excelled either in Asia, Africa, Europe,or America, having received the highest premium, the Prize Mepat, at the London and New-York Ex- hibitions of the “ Industry of all Nations.” The attention of the public is called to his new style of Minin- ture, Cabivet and life-size Photographs, or Daguerreotypes on pa- per, combining the truthfulness of tle Daguerreotype with the beauty of the finest Miniature and Oil Painting. Persons having small aud inferior Daguerreotypes can have them copied to any desired size, and colored to nature. Those residing ata distance by forwarding such pictures, with a description of the complex- ion, color of the eyes and hair, or send a lock of the hair, can de- pend on having a truthful likeness, Every one coming to the city of New-York should call and examine pictures made by this beautiful process. 2F~ Rooms 381 Broadway, corner White street, N.Y. 810-13tw M.

SANDFORD’S PATENT CHALLENGE PORTABLE HEATER, warm air and ventilator, for heating-rooms, stores, halls, public rooms, churches, etc. The pubiic are aware of the many impositions practised on them in the way ofa “ Portable Heater.” The great complaint of heat, cold, impure, musty, dusty air; so injurious to health, destruc- tive to furniture; too much heat in the upper part of the heater; also in the apartment where it is placed; often bulky, regardless

of economy Or ventilation, and ae destitute of a proper equal- ization of heat, In the “ Challenge Heater,” all the above objec- tions are done away. We give a sample of the testimony we can produce in their favor. “ We, the undersigned, do most cheerfully recommend Watson Sandford’s patent “ Challenge Portable Heater,” having had prac- tical experience of them during the past winter, and do not hesi- tate in saying it is ene of the most important inventions of the age, to those who wish for pure heated air in their apartments. The one we have in use is fifteen inches in diameter, heating our rooms perfectly with as liltle fuel as it would require to heat one room with an ordinary stove; also producing a pleasant atmos- phere through the entire house, in the coldest weather ; “ W.

A a RS. ALLEN’S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER— (Warranted aot to contain any deleterious substances.) An unfailing restorer and preserver ef the hairand sight. Itis nots dye. e hair and whiskers, however gray, are restored to and preserved in their original life-color. By ite use, wigs, specte- cles, and gray hairs will soon become extinct. This pleasant and valuable preparation has been used for many years by hun dreds of the most vamp eo pr and wealthy persons in the land, who had previously tried all the nostrums of the day without suc- cess, not only losing the money which they had expended therefor, but seriously injuring their hair azd health. It is entirely differ- ent from other preparations for the hair, which are composed of deleterious articles, such as lead, lime, caustic, Spanish flies, cop- 8, and oil of vitriol, which are said to cause the hair to grow on the palms of the hands, but which, in reality, either greatly in- jure the health of those who use them, or send them to an un- timely grave. The Restorer is easily applied, and will not stain the finest linen, Its effect is sure, in every instanee, if applied according to the directions, The restorer, used with the Zylo- balsarmuin, not only cleanses the heir, but inclines it to curl, giv- ing it a soft, glossy, and natural appearance. Use this prepura- tion before retiring at night; in the morning apply a little soft water, and then the zylobalsamum, fF at, oil, marrow, and alco- hol do serious injury tothe head and hair, and shoud not be used. The Restorer will strengthen and restore the sight, and prevent dizziness, headache, scurf, dandruff, scald head, or an eruption ,of the skin, and all unnatural perspiration of the h {t prevents the falling off of the hair, and cures baldness when not hereditary, and by invigorating the skin, muscles, nerves, blood- vessels, and the roots of the hair, will gradually but soon change the gray locks, and cause the young hair to grow in the original life-color. When restored, by applying it @ few times at inter- vals of three months, you will not have a gray hair if you should attain the age of one hundred years. When used for baldness, you must take off your wig, scratch. oiled silk, or any thing which will cause a return of the insensible perspiration to the head, Persons sending orders for the World's Hair Restoratcr must state the color of their hair, whether derk or light; as it has been thoroughly proved, by long experience, that the ingredients which will restore light hair will not have any effect on black. It is a certain cure for catarrh inthe head. No. | is for dark hals, and is composed of ne different articles, No. 2 is for tight hair, and is composed of seven different articies, each having a teudeu- cy to restore nature’s loss, No.3 is Zylobaleamum, a superice dressing for the hair for young or old, and is essential to use wit No, 1 and No, 2. It will be found on trial to be an indispensable article for the toilet. The World’s Hair-restorer and Zylobal- samum require no puffing, as, after giving them 4 fair trial, all are sure to recom Mend them to their friends. The restorer, No. 1 and No, 2 is put up in large flint bottles, at only $1.50 per bot- tle. One is generally enough for a year. The Zylobalsamum., or dressing for the hair, No. 3, at 373¢ cents per bottle, thus coming within the means of all persons. No such preparation bas ever before been offered to the public, The great demand for it is pro- ductive of many worthless imitations, and shows that its wortk is duly appreciated. None genuine except “ Mrs, Allen’s World's Restorer, New-York,” is blown on the bottlea, and her signature on the directions. Agents supplied by the dozen at the whole sale price.

| Eritors Book Table. Books received at this office are announced immediately by their titles, in our “Literary Record.” They are then reserved for a critical notice in this column, when they shall have been examined by the editors, Pub- lishers and authors thus have the benefit of a two-fold notice of their works ; but we cannot be at the pains of sending to publishers occasional numbers of The Inde- pendent, with notices of books received from them. Tur Onnamevts ov Memory. D. Appleton & Co: New- York, 1854. Tue fanciful title adopted by the editor conveys no just idea of this splendid work. It is a collec- tion of large and elegant engravings, illustrative of some of the more memorable passages of history, romance, and poetry. There is no law of unity ap- parent in the selection of the subjects, except the unity of beauty in art, both in the design and in the execution of the eighteen superb engravings, that adorn or rather constitute the volume. Some of Leutze’s finest historical pictures are here repro- duced in a style worthy of their fame. But though the engravings are the main feature of the work— for not all memories would elect the same monu- ments of literary genius—the letter-press is not merely descriptive of the products of the burin. On the contrary, the engravings are properly scenic —each illustrating some choice historical, descrip- tive, or imaginative passage of some author of ce- lebrity. The binding is in keeping with the interior beauties of the volume, which is altogether one of the most elegant yet produced for a holiday-gift. Mosnem’s EocouestasticaL History, translated by Rev. James Murvock, D.D. New-York: Stanford & Swords. Some years ago, in a fit of generosity, we gave away our copy of Mosheim to a brother in the ministry, supposing that Goeseler, Hagenbach, J. Neander, would answer all our purposes as books of reference. We have never regretted having bestowed a copy upon a brother whose library was less furnished than our own; but we have so often missed Mosheim from our shelves, that we are satisfied that no other writer in ecclesiastical history can fully take his place. One may have all the rest, but still there will be a place for the lucid, candid, and accurate Mosheim. The notes of Dr. Murdock are an invaluable addition to the work. Condensing, as they do, into a brief compass, the results of much learning and research. The neat- ness and elegance of his translation are above praise. This new edition is issued in three handsome octavo volumes. Messrs. Stanford & Swords have published a catalogue of valuable theological works, for sale at their new and elegant store, No. 637 Broadway. The price of Mosheim is $6,50. Susstance AND Spapows. By Emma Wetimont. Bos- ton: J. P. Jewett & Co, Few publishers understand as well as Mr. Jewett how to hit the market, not with mere fancy articles of ephemeral popularity, but with books of real merit, that have all the vivacity and attractiveness of the passing fiction. We regard this as one of his best issues ;—a collection of brief stories of home- life, exceedingly well told, and of pointed paragraphs not amounting to essays, but embodying in a simple, direct, and sprightly style, some valuable moral lessons. Tue Captains or THE Roman Repusiic. By H. W. Hersert. New-York: Charles Scribner, 1854. _ Mr, Herbert is favorably known through his This volume will add to his reputdétibn 34, Kadd.2 of classical history, and a vivid delineation of great characters and events. This picturesque method of teaching history, by grouping events about some one great character in the foreground, has obvious and decided advantages. A Souru-sms View or Stavery; or, three months at the South in 1854. By Newemian Apams, D.D. Bos- ton: T. R. Marvin. This book has so many points of interest, that a more extended notice of it than can be given in this column seems desirable. Our readers will find some discussion of it on another page of the present sheet. Journat or Art.—We are glad to learn that Messrs. Stillman and Durand, both eminent in the literature and in the profession of Art, propose to establish a weekly journal devoted to the Graphic Arts. The enterprise is worthy of the support of all who would encourage the love of the beautiful, and that refined taste which is based upon the true morality of art. We wish it success; and doubt not tHat the eminent names enlisted in the journal as contributors, will secure for it from the first a large and appreciative circle of subscribers. For terms, see advertisement. Juvenites.—Perter Parwey has not forgotten his ten thousand young American readers during his absence in France. You must know, boys and girls, that Peter Parley is a real person, and that when he undertakes to tell you of things in Paris, he is speaking of what he has seen with his own eyes. When we were in Paris, we went one day to the office of the American Consul, on the Boulevards, to claim his protection for a little friend, in case of an insurrection during our absence in the East; and there in the midst of law books, and maps, and charts, and business papers, with the American flag waving over all, whom should we find but that mysterious Peter Partey, whose books we read in our boyhood;—not an old man with cane and spectacles, with powdered wig, and doub- let and hose of the last century, but a frank, good- natured gentleman, not very much older than our- selves, ready to talk with everybody, and to do all sorts of obliging things. Well, with all the business of his office, it seems that he found time to see the sights of Paris, auu to write new books about these for his young friends at home. If you wish to see these books, children, behave as well as you can till next Christmas, and then ask your fathers if they know where Appte- ton’s book-store is, Nos. 346 and 348 Broadway, and tell them you have heard that Mr. Parley has come back again. They will take the hint, and you need not be very much surprised to see among your Christmas gifts a beautiful book, in fancy cov- ers, called Tae Wanperers sy Sea anv Lanp, full of stories of Parisian life, with many pretty pictures of places and scenes in the French capital. Such a book will be a much better present than a volume of fairy tales, for it is just as interesting and a great deal more true. It will give you useful knowledge as well as real pleasure. But this is not all. Mr. Parley saw in Paris some very delicate covers for little story books,—made to imitate gold and silver lace ; so he bought a quanti- ty of these and sent them across the Atlantic to Messrs. Saetpox, Lamport & Buakeman, No. 155 Nassau-street; and they have bound up Mr. Par- ley’s tales for children in these delicate covers, so as to form a beauitful library of nine volumes, all set in one case. We only wish they had made new pictures also: for the old ones are pretty well worn; but the stories are so good and the covers are so fine, that these Partey Lisrartes will have a great sale. f Ro.io, too, has given us another volume of his travels. Anda brave traveler he is; climbing the great mountains of Switzerland, jumping upon glaciers, gazing at waterfalls and avalanches, and keeping a sharp lookout for bears and chamois. Rol- lo has a very kind and entertaining friend, Mr. Ja- cob Abbott, who puts down in writing every thing that Rollo sees, and makes it just as interesting as if he should tell it himself Ms. Rerxoups, of Bos- ton, publishes these nice Rollo books, but every bookseller keeps them for sale. be Our new friends, Messrs. Evans & Dicxersoy, of Broadway, do not mean to be outdone by any of their long-established competitors ; and while these are giving children books of travels and pleasant stories, they have provided a gift-book that will not only please youth, but will give them lessons of fil- ial devotion, of honesty, and of true heroism. It is acollection of wild and thrilling stories translated from the German, called Cumpren’s Triats; it is illustrated with some nice colored engravings. We do not like the German habit of calling upon the name of God on every occasion; nor the use of such words as “devilish,” even when put into the mouth of a sailor. We wish the translator had not ollowed the original so closely’ in such phrases. But with caution on the part of parents in this one respect, the book may be rendered instructive, with- out injury. Though not a book of piety, it isa book of morality. Porutar Tates, by Mapame Guizor. New-York: Chae. S. Francis & Co. WE feel somewhat the same objection to this book which we have just expressed above; which we felt to Uncle Tom’s Cabin; which we feel toany book,which, for the sake of personating real characters, interlards their speech with such phrases as, “ Gracious hea- vens,” “Good God,” &c. We always doubt wheth- er the naturalness of the character compensates for the irreverence and profaneness ; and as it is a bad habit to tell profane stories, it is no less bad to fa- miliarize the mind with such language in books. There is by no means so much of this in Madame Guizot’s tales as to vitiate the volume. The stories are exceedingly well told, and will be read by old and young with profit and delight. The volume has several neat illustrations. Waar shall Lire Susy do? Our Susy has passed her sixth birth-day, and has given “ Lrr- TLE Susy’s Six Birta-Days” six-times-six readings. She knows it all by heart. What now, for next year? Is there to be no second series? Come Mr. Randolph ; come Mrs. P——, (there, we almost let out the secret ; and if you don’t make a new book soon, we'll tell!) i . —_ FROM OUR ENGLISH CORRESPONDENT. THE WAR—PROGRESS OF THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. Eneianp, Nov. 10, 1854. During the whole of last week there was an unac- countable absence of all official intelligence from the Crimea, and the void was filled up by despatches from St. Petersburg, which did not at all tend to tranquilize the public mind. Notwithstanding the assurances given by the government that intelligence should be promptly communicated, the suspicion arose that news, perhaps ill news, had been received and suppressed. But it appears that, owing to accident or treachery, a despatch of Lord Raglan has failed to reach London. Later despatches and most interesting journals and letters, detailing the progress of the siege of Sebastapol ftom the 17th ult. to the 29th, have been received. For twelve days the devoted fortress had sustained and returned the fire of the besiegers—the garrison re- turning it with great spirit and from a superior weight of metal. The accounts concur in stating that the allied army had sustained but little loss from the fire. The combined fleets took part in the operations, Ad- miral Dundas says, “at the urgent request of Lord Raglan.” Why there should have been need for an nnrar4ca-yest.feam the commander-jneeb* aa awaits areply. The early operations wer- 0°t to the advan- tage of the besiegers. The Freach batteries w@re cut up and their guns silenced, and a tremendous explosion of one of their magazines caused immense damage, and suspended the action of the batteries, and the Russians directed their guns almost exclusively at the British entrenchments. Lord Raglan’s despatch of the 23d is brief and quiet in its tone, presenting the actual facts nakedly to the mind. He says the defences of the place have been materially injured, “but these are as yet far from being subdued, neither is a serious diminution of their fire perceivable. “Our fire has also been constant and effective; but the enemy, having at their disposal large bodies of men, and the resources of the fleet and arsenal at their com- mand, have been enabled by unceasing exertion to re- many of the guns that have been destroyed, in a very short space of time, and to resume their fire from works which we had succeeded in, silencing. “ This facility of repairing and re-arming the defences naturally renders the progress of the assailants slower

than could be wished; and I have it not in my power to inform your Grace, with anything like certainty, when it may be expected that ulterior measures may be undertaken.” Two spirited attempts have been made for the relief of the city, by taking the allied army in the rear at Balaklava. Lord Stratford De Redcliffe, telegraphs an | account from Constantinople in these terms: “The Russians attacked the forts in the vicinity of Balaklava, on the 25th. Their numbers are supposed to have been about 30,000 men. The attack was un- j expected. The Cossacks preceded the infantry. To resist them at first there were Ottoman troops and Seotech. The Turks gave way and [Qy. did not even spike.—Cor.] even spiked the guns, which, seized by the Russians, were turned against them. The Scotch, on the contrary, remained firm in their position. Other forces arrived, and the Russians were obliged to yield the ground, remaining, nevertheless, masters of two forts, from which they fired upon our troops. Three regiments of English light cavalry, exposed to the cross fire of the Russian batteries, suffered immensely. “The French took part in the affair, with ~ bravery. body of 8000 Russians, as well town as from that of Balaklava. They repulsed the enemy with great slaughter. Generally, the loss of the Russians must have been very great.” The following extracts are from a very interesting j-urnal in which an account is given of the events and results of each day’s operations: “On the 17th, between 9 and 10 AM, there was a dreadful explosion in the French lines. One of their largest magazines in the rear of their principal battery caught fire. The explosion was attended with feormons destruction. One hundred and twenty men nd officers were either killed or wounded, fifteen guns were blown from their places, the platforms and car- riages broken, and the battery so much injured that it was silenced for that day and the two days following. The distress of our allies is reported to havebeen very great. Their engineers wept like children amidst the ruins of that splendid yy on whose working they had founded their hopes of their own share of success. “In the course of the eighteenth day they received Lord Raglan’s permission to throw red-hot shot, car- cases, shella, and rockets into the town, and about sunset, when the Russian batteries were again almost silenced, (a single gun answering our fire at long inter- vals,) the incendi fire commenced and was kept up till 9 PM, and with a few discharges now and then, throughout the night. Almost all our rockets fell short, but the red-hot shot, shells, and carcases went right into the town, and very speedily did some work, which was as speedily undone by the Russians, who, since the days of Peter L, have been very expert in putting out fires and preventing extensive confla- grations. “ Deserters, who came out in the last two days, 19th and 20th, drew a melancholy picture of the state of Sebastopol, and the execution our artillery had done among the garrison. The fortress, they said, was like a large slaughter-house, and since we opened fire five thousand men had been taken to the hospitals and the graveyards, , “99d. The late news of the distress of the garrison of Sebastopol was yesterday confirmed by several deserters, who all told the same story, and as there could be no previous understanding between them, their assertions are entitled to some credit. I give them in full. The fire from our batteries has most terribly told upon Sebastopol ; the pe is like a vast slaughter-house, and the streets are of howling and gnashing of teeth. Five thousand men are killed or severely wounded. The explosion of the magazine in

The chief en- gineer, who conducts the defence of the fortress, is se- verely wounded. The Russians had again an explosion in theirlines. Our batteries still continue to throw red- hot shot into the town, and shells into the Russian works. About’ noon to-day the redoubt and White Tower batteries were completely silenced, but the Rus- sians epened from fresh ries in the rear of those works. They also opened fire from a building which had long been s by our guns, because it had on its front an inscription which marked it as a ‘General Hospital.’ That =

WHAT WILL THE CZAR DO! BY OUR ENGLISH CORRESPONDENT. Ir was thought by some that with the fall of Sebas- topol the war would end. The impregnable fortress has not yet fallen. ‘But that assumed, what then! There are manifest signs that this will be but the com- mencement of a contest which may be fierce and pro- longed. It may‘ot be “ too late” to save Europe from the Cossack, but the effort is being made at the eleventh hour. Even while Sebastopol is being des- troyed, the Court Journa! of St. Petersburgh, not only justifies the attempt of the Czar upon Turkey, but proclaims his frantic opposition to liberal principles, and his deadly hatred to England, “as the focus and support of all revolutionary principles!” The objects of the Czar are thus plainly set forth in his Court Journal : “ Russia’s mission is certainly great. She is called upon to set limits to the materialism of England. France holds a secondary position. She isa mere bub- bling political whirlpool; not a durable and generally destructive inundation. Russia must fight England, be- cause she alone, and not France, is the focus and su of all revolutionary principles.

There was a family living on the east side of the city, of the poorest of the poor. The room was dirty, unhealthy, cheerlees ; the father came home each night, drunk or in a brutal humor, and able to earn but little at his trade. The mother was either dead or in one of the prisons. There were two young boys, an older boy, and a girl at home. The only hope seemed to be, in removing them from the city.

Our City Column, CoNSECRATION OF THE NEW Provisional Bisnor or New- Yorx.—Notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the weather, a large assembly was gathered in Trinity Church on the morning of the 22d inst., to witness the installation of Rev. Dr. Horatio Potter, as Provisional Bishop of this Diocese. The bishops of Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts, New-Jersey, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, and Michigan, the bishop elect of Rhode Island, the Lord Bishop of Mont- real, the Venerable Archdeacon Lower, of Montreal, and numerous Presbyteries of this and other dioceses, with the students of the General Theological Seminary, and other candidates for orders, were present. . The services were by Drs. Taylor, Vinton, Lewis, Berrian, the bishops of Vermont, Iowa, and Illinois, ete. The sermon was delivered by Dr. Fulford, Lerd Bishop of Montreal, from the passage in the Gospel of St. John, xvii. 11.: “ Holy Father, keep through thine own name, those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one,” and the practical duty enforced by the preacher was the necessity of Chriat- *pwr- Youer was presented to the presiding bishop, Dr. Brownell, (Connecticut,) when the usual questions were put and answered in the affirmative, which, after a brief prayer by Dr. Brownell, was followed by the laying on of hands, and the distribution of the ele- ments.

The morning was dark and stormy, and the New-Haven freight train which had arrived shortly before, was left standing on the down track without any signal or other precaution, to warn other trains arriving after it. The number of passengers is stated to have been close on 600, twenty of whom were dreadfully man- of the cars were much broken, Close to the spot where the collision took place there is a high em- bankment, and had the cars been thrown over, the loss of life would have been necessarily great. There ean be no question that gross negligence was the cause of the accident.

An eye was kept on him till he was about to leave in the morning, when he was followed and brought back to a private office and the packages found on his person. He was accord. ingly handed over to the United States Marshal. This man it appears was in receipt of $600 yearly salary, not an extravagant amount certainly, but suffi- cient to maintain his family decently and in comfort, His habite, however, we understand, led to the accu- mulation of considerable furniture, and a General ap- pearance in his establishment much exceeding his avail. able and honest meats. This is one of the vices—one of the crying vices of the age—the beggarly pride of striving to make a greater show than our circum. stances warrant. This man, with $600 per annum, lives at probably thrice that amount, by a series of the most rascally frauds, while many a man of equal, if not higher, capacity than himself, has to struggle with less than half the amount this man was paid for his labor. This is a case in which exemplary punishment should be righteously awarded. We feel for his family, but for himself we trust a just conviction will be made for thé benefit of the whole community. Extravagance under any cireumstances is unwarrantable, but where fraud, peculation, ingratitude, and raseality are added to it, let the law take its fullest sweep. Since writing the above we find a similar case, in the Baltimore Post-office, the principal distributing clerk of which, William H. Martin, was detected in fraudulent appropriations. This man’s salary was $1000, but his style of living excited suspicion, and finally led to his arrest. His depredations are believed to have been going on for some years. Tue Viraiot Ovrraces.—The perpetrator of these outrages has at last been se cured, and turns out to be Theodore H. Gray, a master-printer, doing business at No. 67 Beekman street. This man has been the terror of ladies for some months past, many of whom were in dread for their dresses and persons every time they passed through the streets, or left places of public amusement. Officer Reed most adroitly succeeded in capturing his prisoner, with the tin can which he em- ployed for his nefarious purposes, on his person. In his examination it came out that he is a member in good standing of the Allen-street Baptist church, and the reason assigned by him for his outrages was “ to deter ladies from going to the theatres.” His friends impute his conduct to insanity; if this plea is to be sustained, we can only say he has exhibited “much method in his madness!” American Exonancr Bang.—This institution, we re gret to learn, on examination of the accounts of its first teller, Mr. Candee, finds a deficiency of $138,500, aris ing from his having certified cheques for irresponsible parties. To protect the bank, he has placed in their hands bonds and mortgages to the amount of $161,977, which, with his sureties bond, $20,000, it is hoped will cover his deficiencies. Mr. Candee, it was stated, had been a large speculator in property in the village of Yonkers, on the North River, owning and occupying a costly establishment in the village. He had bornea fair character before this occurrence, and was supposed to have some money of his own, which averted suspi- cion. It appears, however, that a large fancy store in which he was engaged with his brother-in-law, in Broadway, has absorbed a considerable portion of his deficiencies. The wrong doing has been going on for some time, possibly a year or more, and the worst fea- tures for the bank is, that the concealment of so large a sum, and its unavailability in the operations of busi- ness, should have so long escaped the attention of the managing officers and directors, and the scrutiny of the periodical Examining Committees.
