Tracy in hit cpening speech for the defense in tho Tilton- Loecher suit. to the scandal once attached ta thename of John Wasley, has_touchod tho de- nominstional prids of the Methodist Church journals, sod they promptly ropel what they deesa an attempt to put Mr. Wesley in the sama category with Mr. Beecher, a8 regards the natara of the offenee with which he is charged. Gen. 'Iruy speaking of this scandal ia which Mr. afilaywu involved, said *that *it was such harge ’ as bad been mede against Mr. Beecher SL;S, ‘sown broadcast over England, John Wes- Iy suftered to pass without 3 public reply for nearly tweaty years ;* and that * it waa by menns of an inainudtion that he had made improper ad- vances that a persecution was kindled against him in Georgis, which rosulted in driving him aut of this country.”™ ‘This statement che Msthodist Church papers vigeroualy dany. The Western Church .{dco- cate of last week makes an elaborate defenso of Mr. Wosloy. In regard to the Georgiz affair, it denies that any charge of ** improper advances ™ to Mra. Williamson, tho Iady concerned, was mado ageinst him, aad gives the following ex- planation of the affair: Mr. Wesley waa then an extreme Rl followi: tho rubrica of the Book of Cummnnm;:.ly:r. Ttk thoss meually observed and those which bad bacotoy e the sustarity of his own daily life, he almost oqs tho anceticn of the desert i he ‘third centurys At tha time he expected of all others who acospted hitm 883 spiritual guide and teacher a similar spizit of Seldenial and holy living. Tt is ot surprisiog, therefors, that having obecrved fhitgr o Mos. Wiiamaon's Qemounor of conduct bis swendard, he judged wrong, B B repelied her tetove the ccngespation frams toe oh ‘munion, —having, according to the Fubric, previons! ustifed her ihat o snould do so 1f ahe oftred hersait o M.r Canston, b chinf magistrate of the city, and uacle of Mra. Willlamson, was indig- nant at 3r. Wesley's sctivn, and obtained bills of indictment agninat him from aa illegally consti- tuted Grand Jary. No charge of improper nd- vaoces was, howerver, prefarred agsinat Mr. Wesley, nlthough Causton’s persccution was sa bitter a3 to dzive him from the Colony. In regard to the scandals disseminzted in re gard to him in England, the Advocat saya: L Yhiie ik is of fimpropor o it T A With sid wero propagated by R wifs, whore fsonzled Jealousy—amounting to MONOMANia—Was Dot wmen- Thle toreason, and sgalnst whosa demsads and acea- 2ations there was no remedy., It Was for thin reasom We asserted that it waa Dot “snch a charge” as has ‘been made against Mr. Beechsr tint Mr, Wealey “suf- fered to pass withous s pablle reply for nearly brunty Sears.” On the contrary, it was o charge msde againes 2 man whose daily lifo was open to a maltitade of ot~ servers, not one of whom came forward taindorse the accusation. 1t was a relteration of saspiclons perpet- ually ins disordered mind., Wha: could he dobut bear hia milsfortune, and go on daing hix groat work of preaching and caring for societies, ac cording to his sense of right snd obiization to God 7 It appears, however, from his lates: biogra- pher, Tyerman, that Mr. Wesley was in the habit of writing religions letters to ladios of whom hia wife was jeslous, and his sscetic habits and pro- longed absences could hardly have made him au sgreeable companion for a womao. That she could not have boen a comfort to hum is svident from the fotlowing description of her qualitiss: As a rule, she was s bitter urmitigatsd earse. At home, the was huspicioas, jealous, tretfal, taunting, twitting, and often vioient. “Abroad, when 'itine ‘with him, 1t t00 generally happensd that naught please ber, Mr. Wesley had to endure her tqr thirty years. A PROTESTANT SISTERHOODS. THEIR NUMBFE AND LABOZS. The New York Sun of a recent daze ocontaing an interesting sketch of the formation of sister hoods in the Protestaat Churchss, from whick the following is made np: The oldest and Iargest of these associs- tions bsa its mother-bouse at KEaisers- werth, in Rhenish Prussis, with a sisterbood of 415 members. of whom 171 are proba- tioners, or, as thay would be called in a Roman Catholioc convent, novices. This institatior omes its foundation to an esrnest yotng German Candidat, Dr. Fliedner, who becems pastor s! KEaiserswerth in 1822, and who aa early as 1828 ‘began his work, though he did not obtain his Srst probationer for the sisterhood until 1836. Ele had, bowever, previcusly opened two chari- ties, ond for discharged female convicts aad sx- other for thesick. The Society under whose direction these sis. uru act is compossed of 3 committee of eight, the name of * Direction of the Rhenish- alian Society for Training and Sendmg Out Evangelical Deaconesses.” Under the di- rection of this Committee, in sddition to the gix inatitutions of Esiserswerth, are ten affili- atpd inatitutions or statiops. One ¢ Hilden i Phenish Pruasia; one in Berlin, one in Deren- dorf, one in Alwfl one in Florengs, Italy; one in Jerusalem, one in Alexandria, snd two ab Bairenth. Other filistions arze found scattered all over the German Btates, and in other Enro- n countries, sud one in Pittaburg, America. m firat Americaa sisterhood dates its exmtencu back to 1845 thcagh pot regulstly =1 until 1852, while the first Enghsh ctflar(Mln Sellon's) did not exist until 1848, THE FIEST AMZRICAN ORDEE, which was called ** The Sisterhood of the Holy Communion,” from the church under whoss uwm onfl“ was founded in 1345, by tha m A, Muhlenberg, D. D., the ven- unbln pukor of St. Luke's Hospital, New York. ‘The general scops of their work is not disaimi- lar to that of the Roman Catholio Bisters of Charity. Thoy number about um—ry sad are in- creasing. Their dress is simple but distinctive, —a black gown, very plain, & D small linen collar. “No barlg Ths dress uwmmlyphmumb' very un- mbecammg. Out of this o sprang, in 2] e Was! THE SISTEREOOD C¥ ST.

The Sisters are scat! about in eoveral insti- tutions devoted to purecharity ; but itatwo moat prominent institutions, which are also poasas- sions, aze two schools for young ladies, one in Forty-sixth streot New York, and the othor in Peekskill, N.
