NEW YORK New York, Sunday, November 14, 1847. Malis for Europe. The Caledonia will leave Boston on Tuesday next, for Liverpool. Her letter bags will close in this city to-morrow afternoon. The Herald for Europe will be published at one o’clock, in time for the mails. ‘The Campaign of the Presidency ‘The brilliant campaign of Mexico has termi- nated with the possession of the Mexican capi- tal, and of the principal sea ports of that repub- lic, General Scott’sdespatches have been re- ceived at Washington, and soon all the heroes of the war will be gladto return to the United States. General Taylor is coming back, a num- ber of officers are expected from Vera Cruz, and by and by, General Scott himself will be re- lieved. Thus has terminated, in eighteen months, the conquest of a great republic, exhibiting to the world a series of brilliant achievements, sur- passing even those of Napoleon in Italy; for, in- stead of one, Napoleon, ours was an army of Napoleons. The war is terminated; but another cam- paign, is beginning to open. Yesterday Mr, Clay began the contest for the next presi- dency, at Lexington, Kentucky, in a speech which is looked to and looked for in every part of the country. It is the beginning of a new campaign, and will be followed by similar movements in Congress, in State Legislatures, and througheut the land,for nearly a year te come. General Taylor is returning, and his friends are moving with energy and force in the South, as well as the West and the North. General Scott may be expected to enter into this campaign in a few weeks, and he counts, no doubt, as well as others, upon extensive support. He has certain- ly distinguished himself in an astonishing de- gree, and has made his “hasty plate of soup” almost immortal. Mr. Polk, with some mem- bers of his cabinet—the authors of the war—will also be engaged in the next contest; so that we shall have our hands full with a different species of battling than that which we have had for the last eighteen months. : According to all appearances ,the old parties will soon be partly disorganised, and out of this general concussion of popular elements, a new departure will be taken by the people of the United States, in relation to the government and ite direction. In the meantime all necks are stretched out towards Lexington, and all ears are listening to what Mr. Clay has to say. ft aie ci Se Tanury Doctrines.—Some newspaper philoso- phers imagine that the tree trade legislation in England is the cause of the present revulsion there. The repeal of the corn laws has not di- minished the price of grain in England ; in fact, prices rose 1mmediately after the repeal. The bankruptcies among the higher classes of merchants, may have been somewhat affected by the course of English legislation during the last few years; but the radical cause of the failures in London is the expensive system of social life. All their great merchants, have for years, past been living at ap extravagant expenditure, be- yond their incomes. They have sought to vie with the aristocracy and to set the fashions in high life, so that when the hard times came they were found utterly worthless, and worse than nothing. Similar pressure has acted upon the aristocracy, and similar astounding failures have taken place inthe ranks of the nobility- The Duke of Buckingham has failed to the amount of ten millions of dollars, and the Duke of Beaufort, also, is on the verge of bankruptcy. The number of lords who are rotten would astonish an apple woman who had a basket full of rotten apples. Let us take a lesson from the other side of the water. The English revulsion, which affects the prices of all commodities, will reach this country in the course of a few months. How willit find our higher classes, with their splen- did establishments,their expensive social system, their boxes at the opera, their fine horses and gorgeous carriages? Think of sixty or eighty thousand dollars expended upon a house and furni-ure in the upper regions of our city! Be- fore you accept any bills of exchange of mer- chants, and before you pay cash for them, look first to the condition of their private establish- ments, and ascertain the character and extent of their houses and stables. A Scrus Race.—We are threatened with a scrub race on the next Presidential question. ‘Well, it seems to be the natural history of elec- tions in this country, that sueh a rece should take place every twenty-four years, or every quarter of a century. We remember the fun of 1824; but probably that of 1848 will surpass it. The democrats talk of aregular candidate; the whigs, too, talk of a regular candidate. But all this regulariy will eventuate in their being no regu- lar candidate at all, especially if Calhoun, with General Taylor and several others, should be run, at all hazards, by their friends. It is possible that no choice will be made by the eléctoral colleges. In such case, fthe election will be thrown into the House of Rep- resentatives; and who can tell if that body will be able to make a choice? Pending all these movements, it is our firm belief that we ouglft to keep military possession of Mexico, as we have itatthis moment. If it should remain in our possession two years, it would rouse the jealousy of France and England, and then that would cause the people of this country to keep it alto- gether. Rivat or rue Frencu Steamer New Yorr at Newrort.—The steamer New York, as we published in our evening edition of yesterday, put into Newport out of coal, on Friday, at half- past five, P.M. ‘This fact we learn from one of the passengers, who arrived yesterday morning in the steamer Bay State. The New York left Havre on the 25th ult., early in the morning, and, from her departure to Sunday last, met with unfavorable winds. n Sunday last, the steamer met with a terrible gale, and her captain woe obliged to make his way to the southward, and reached the Gulf Stream, where he was detained three days. On ‘Wednesday last the engineer discovered that the coal bunkers were very low, and the matter be~ ing exposed to the captain, it was deemed necessary to put into the nearest port, which was Newport. it appears, that instead of 840 tons, which were said to be on board, the quantity was much less, and the quality very inferior. In this case, as before, the fault is upon those in Havre, who ought to make indispensable examination upon such an important matter, Capt. Ferrand having been taken sick, immediately before the departure of the New York, the conpasy put in lus place a very intelligent officer, M. Pacini, a lieutenant in the royal navy, wha was in the French war against Mexico, when the French fleet captured Vera Cruz. The place of second captain is taken by Mr. Chevreuil, who was b fore first lieutenant, and the other officers are as ollows :— M, Biller. .... ...Fitst Lieutenant, M. Michel’. .,") {Second do. M. Carpentier . : "Third do, : M. Buvray....; {Surgeon and Chief Steward. We understand that the passengers were highly pleased with the able conduct of the captain and of the engineer, M. Demanet, both of whom have done their best to perform a quick trip; but wind and coal, and chances, were against them. M. Thomas, the royal mail agent, arrived in town yesterday morning, and delivered his mail, which was a gh one, to the post office. There were forty-two passengers of the first class, and thirty-two in the steerage. We could not procure their names; but we hope the steam- the last s1x months this work has been urged on with unprecedented energy, intorder both to for- ward its completion and secure it from accident in the coming season. The excavation is now completed, the foundation laid on all of that part which rests on the bed of the river, as well a8 @ large part of the remainder, leaving but a small section on the land side tobe completed, which is not Jiable to accident. The employment for the laborers is exhausted; a large quantity of the masonry has been laid, and will be continued as long as the weather will permit; and as the hy- draulic cement is used, this branch also, must cease when the frost appears. Ina week or so, another discharge of laborers must take place, leaving for the winter force, the stone cutters, a few carpenters, &c. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panu Tueatae.—The new play, the “Cavalier,” was again presented at the Park last evening, Mr. Pitt and Mrs, Abbott sustaining the principal parts. There are several pointed passages of remarkable merit in the Piece, and the sctors to whom the several parts were given in charge, have acquitted themselves well. Mr. Pitt has evidently studied the best models, and has suc- ceeded in deriving great benefit from that study; but his own fresh style, his own hearty manner, and well-timed modulations, with a proper observance of the usual rules of rhetoric, will gain him greater suceess in his profes sion than the-most successful imitations. He plays with great care, and takes advantage of all the small things in stage business which go to make up good acting; for not more careful is the painter of his tints, than the dra- matic artist of his lights and shades, made up of the coloring given by these same small matters. Mrs. Ab- bott deserves great praise for the beautitul manner in which she enacts the part of Mrs Hargrave. Itis in- deed # character admi fitted co her style, and could hardly find a better a representative than {it does in her. The audience showed their appreciation of her merit by calling her,as wellas Mr Pitt, out at the end of the iece. Mr. Stark, as Beauchamp, the friend of Lord orton, was also good. The afterpiece was the “Heir at Law,” which comedy is exceedingly well performed by the Park company Mr Bass, as Lord Duberly, makes as much as possible of the character; and for Lady Du- berly it is enough to say, that it was performed by Mrs. Vernon; Dick Dowlass, by Dyott, was better than the same character as represented by another gentleman at this house some time since, though both were . Mr Chapman’s Dr. Pangloss, was, as the part always is when well performed, the spice of the play On Monday night Mr Pitt will again appear as Hargrave,in the “Cavalier; after whioh, will be presented a new drama founded upon the graphio ions of George Cruikshank, led the “Bottle” illustrat ” ‘This is highly spoken of, and will, no doubt, produces sensation. Bowsny Turatne.—Those who visited the Bowery Theatre last evening, enjoyed an intellectual treat of no ordinary nature, and one which will excite emotions of pleasure whenever it recurs to their minds. The first piece enacted was “ Evadne, or the Statue,” which was as well cast and as well supported as any piece that has been performed on the New York boards for some time. Mrs. Shaw, of course, took the part of Evadne, and we do that highly gifted actress no more than justice, in saying that rarely, if ever, within our recollection, was the Evadne which the author had in his mind, better rtrayed. The part of Ludovico was personated by Rr. ‘Marshall. ‘This gentlemen is an actor of great natural ability. He is evidently deep read,and has studied his profession with care. ‘Aspiration peers through every sentence he utters, and it needs but for him to continue in the line he has evidently marked out for himself, to rank as high in the art as his ambition ever aimed at. Mr. Clark’s Vicentio” was admirable. He made the most of it, and was received, as he general- ly is, with applause. We cannot pase over Mr. Gouldson, who personated the first conspirator. Inthat part where he supposes his attempt to make adupe of Ludovico is crowned with success, he was really excellent, and evinc- es an ambition which, if proper! ited, will place direct him in a hig fh position Before many years. at the oon: lusion of the evening’s performances, 5 Ww ani Mr. Marshall were both called before the curtain. On Monday evening Mrs. Shaw will appear as Mrs. Haller, in“ The Stranger,” after which # new grand national spectacle, entitled the Revolution, or the Patriots of °76,” will be performe: It is hardly necessary to say that the house will be filled on the occasion. CuatHam Turatre,—Mr. C. W. Webb took a benefit at the Chatham Thoatre last evening, and when h peared he had the satisfaction ofsecing a crowded house before him. The tragedy of “ Macbeth’? was the first piece performed, Mr Webb taking the chief part, and Mr. Hield the secend. When we first saw Mr. Webb we were not disposed to rank him very high; but on seeing him a second and a third time, we had reason to change our opinion, and were sat.sfied that he is what his admi- rers in the south have represented him. He leaves here immediately to fill engagements in other cities, and we expect the favorabie reception @e bas met with in New- York will tendto hisadvantage. The living “ T'ableaux” by the Model Artists, really beautiful. When we consider that it is but recently this classic species of tertainment has been introduced nt us, the perfec. tion which these artists have attained is highly credita- bletothem. The enterprise of Mr. Fletcher in adding this attraction, for attraction it decidedly is, to his house, will, we are confident, redound to his advantage. On Monday evening, the amusing drama, “ roe and My Partner Joe,” and the petite comedy, “ The Jacobite,” will be performed. The Model Artists are advertised to represent eight magnificent spectacles, [ety een we pereeive the “ Rape of the Sabines,” the “ onian Triumph,” and others equally as interesting. Cincus— Bowery AmpuitHtarae.—There is nothing like ® succession of novelties at a place of amusement; that it is that pleases the audiences particularly at a place like the Amphitheatre, devoted to light and fancl- ful performances, which are intended to divert the mind for the moment, more than to fix the attention for whole evening. This is the character of the various acts at the Cirous, where Mr. Tryon’s company nightly go through a beautiful series of equestrian and gymnas- tic feats, enlivened by the jocularities ot the clowns. During the coming week, a number of Mr. Kemp’s orig!- nal pantomimes will be brought forward, they are full of jokes and well calculated to amuse. Curisty’s Minstrecs.—It is daily said that this is the age of progress, and as far as they are concerned Christy’s band are certainly included in the category of those progressing. Last night they completed their sixth week, and to-morrow evening they take a fresh start and commence again. We have so often alluded to their excellent singing, burlesque dancing, and jokes, that we need now only announce that they still continue nightly to be as good as ever. Sante Hanmoniets.—This band has been quite well supported during the past week, so much 80, indeed, as to warrant their taking a larger room wherein to exhibit, and they will commence to-morrow evening another se- ries of their performances at Niblo’s Alhambra saloon, in Broadway. This location is » very good one, and we have no doubt they will find their success increase dur- ing the coming week. Livina Mopers.—These artistes are so successful that they have concluded to remain another week among us. ‘To-morrow evening they open with some new groups. Sionon Butz remains in Brooklyn three nights more, after which he must leave to fulfil engagements else- where. Srvon1,Henz anv Kyoor, give @ concert next Wed- nesday evening, at Washington Hall, Newark, New Jerse: At ‘Boston there is at present concentrated a grand array of musical talent. The Bishop operatic and dramatic troupe are at the Boston theatre; the Seguins at the Howard Athnieum; and Herz, Sivori, Knoop and Bignora Vattelina at Tremont Temple. The favorite little Adelphi is by no means eclipsed by all the opposing prilliancy, but is “under full headway of success,’ bur- eguins weelf im public favor deeper and deeper every it. Mrs. Farren is playing with marked success at Cinoin- nati. ‘Tom Thumb is at Columbia, South Carolina. Police Intelligence. On the “ Sneak,’—Seme sneaking thief entered the feed store occupied by R.

A Charge of bpaeiser 3 Hogan, keeping a public —A man by the name of David house, at No. 47 Howard street, was arrested on Friday night and taken to the sth Ward Station House, on 8 o! of stabbing Major R.

Sic; The French steamship New York, Captain Ferrand, from Cherbourg, for New York, put into Newport, R. I., on Friday, for coals. She sailed from Cherbourg, France, on the 24th ult., and brings two days later news from the continent of Europe. Our special despatches give all the intelli- gence. | OUR SPECIAL DESPATCHES. Panis, Oct. 28, 1847. Literally nothing of the least importance has ocurred in the political world here since the date of my last.— The agitation tor parliamentary reform goes on, and re. form banquets are taking place every day in the pro- vinces. The terrible commercial and monetary orisis in England has, stramgeto say, had little or no re-ac, tion here. While the funds are falling in London, the rentes on our Bourse have been tolerably steady, and we have no announcements whatever of commercial or financial failures. Our theatres are open for the winter, and the Paris season may be as commenced, The Italian opera is. open with the same company v‘ near- ly that has monopolised it for many years. . astellane (known to you.) has made & cessful debut. But soegeee musical star now ascendant is Mile. All [, ® magnificent contralto. Shi is not at the Italian, but at the Academié de le Musi- que. suc. “Mapnip, Oct. 18, 1847. Great has been the change in the sspect of public affairs here since the date of my last. The question however, by the title of the “ palace question,” bas been solved. The knot which could not be cut by all the skill of the progressietas and the clever diplomacy of the English minister, Mr. Bulwer, has been cut by the gold of Queen Christina, the seoret service money at the dis- position of M..Guizot, and the crosses of the Legion of honor dispensed by the king of the Barracades. The favorite has been for the present bought off and induced to desert bis mistress, and to mi a fetid ang ppc zal ke fabricated inst her <hrone. The king consort, who for many months has obstinatel: e same house with his royal co: the and her it, have returned to Madrid, and have been cordially re- ceived at the palace by the Queen. The moderados are re- stored to office, and Narvaez is prime minister. En; influence,which was predominant.is lowered; and French influence, which was annihilated, is again in the ascen- dant. How long all thie will last is quite another ques- tion, which those who know Spanish affairs best, will be the least willing to answer. In addition to all these, the Infante Don Francisco de Paula and his daughter, who had been exiled from Madrid, have been recalled; and the palace, lately the theatre of such license and disor- ei presents a scene of at least apparent domestic fe- icity. Since writing the above, I have been assured per- son well informed and worthy of confide t the separation of the Queen and General Serrano is all & sham, and that the withdrawal of the General is only a temporary measure. We shall see. Italy. Rome, October 14,1847. In the Italian Peninsula no important movement has taken place since the date of my last letter. 1 communi- cated to you then the abdication of the Duke of Luccha and the annexation of his Duchy to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. This measure is not so impoxtant as it seems at first. By the treaty of Vienna made in 1815, the Duke of Lucchs was to hold that principality only during the life of the Arch Duchess Maria Louisa, the ex-Em- preas of France, to whom the Duchies of Parma, Piacenza and Guastallee were assigned. On her decease she was to be succeeded by the Duke of Luccha, or his heirs, and then the Duchyof Luccha was to be annexed to Tuscany. What has now happened, therefore, is only an ahticipa- tion of of what must take place in a few years. Un- til the decease of Maria Louisa the Grand Duke of Tus- cany is to grant an annuity of £40,000 a year to the ex- Duke of Luccha. It is now, however, understood that a negotiation ison foot to induce Maris Louisa to abcicate in faver of the Duke of Luocha, receiving from him du-. ring her life an indemnity in the shape of an snnuit; ‘Thus are states and people transferred from hand hand in thjs old worldof ours. We have had great rejoicings here in consequence of a municipality being granted to this Eternal City ofours. ‘The great feature of this measure is to give to the laity a share in the of Rome, and to infuse into it some of the spirit of representation. Ferrara in still oc- cupied by the Austrians. It wasto have been evacuated on the 34, but the Pope declined accepting any conces- sion short of the complete evacuation of the citadel and ‘all of Ferrara, and also that of Commacchie. To this Austria demurred, and things remain for the present un- changed. Negotiations are, however, still pending be- tween the Vatican and the Court of Vienna. In Naples, the situation remains the same. Reforma and amnesties are talked of, but nothing definite is done: Meanwhile, we are under a reign of terror. Switzerland. Beane, Oot. 19, 1847. Switserland is at present the focus to which all eyesin Europe are directed. We are on the eve of the most strange civil war. In my former letters I gave you some, sceount of our internal dissensions, but as we appear to be now on the very eve of @ conflist it may be well briefly to sketch our situation, You are aware that the Diet, which is the federal legislature, adjourned until yesterday,to give an opportunity to the governments and people of the several cantons or states respectively to assemble, deliberate and decide on what measures would | be most advisable to adopt in the present crisis. They | have accordingly assembled, deliberated and decided) | and the result is such as would appear to leave no loop- | hole by which the confederacy can escape a civil war. | Of the twenty-two cantons,thirteen havedecided that the | decrees of the Diet shall be executed, if necessary, by force of arms. The remaining nine cantons have decid- ed that such execution shall be resisted, if necessary, by the force ofarms. You must not, however, imagine that the minority are #0 insane as to deny sill validity in the abstract to the decisions of the Diet. or to declare that they will in no instance submit to its authority. The theory maintained is, that the decisions now brought in question are unconstitutional, and that in adopting them the Diet has exceeded those limits by which the consti- tution has circumscribed its powers You will doubtless ask with infinite surprise whether there be no “ supreme court,” to pronounce on such question? No. There is none. In the Swiss confederation this wise provision has been omitted, and there is consequently no remedy but armed resistance against the operation of an uncon- stitutional law. The Diet assembled yesterday in this city, and came to resolutions of course to enforce its decrees, but before doing so to adopt every practicable pacific means. One of these is to issue a proclamation, exhorting the recus- ant cantons to submit to the federal government. Ano- ther is to send two commissioners, selected from the members of the Diet, into each of the recusant cantons, to submit to the general government. A proponition was also made and adopted.to appoint a committee composed of a limited number of members from the majority, to confer with alike number of members from the minor- ity, with the view to a compromise. Little hope. how- ever, is entertained that with the spirit that now prevails any pacific result will ensue. Our streets and neighbor- hood are filled with military, and everything presents the aspect of a town ina siege. Troops ari tered on the frontiers of Lucerne, the principal recurant canton, while on the other hand troops of the Sunderbund are spread éver the same bound: The elightest accident may lead to a general explosion. | Although the decrees of the Diet which are resisted are nominally two. bain 4 are virtually but one The first decree is to dissolve the separate league of the seven cantons commonly called the Sanderbund. The second isto render the residence of the Jesuits illegal, within the boundary of the confederation. But as it was to de- fend the Jesuits from expulsion that the Sunderbund was formed, these two decrees are, in fact, implicitly in- cluded in the latter one; for, if the Jesuits be excluded, the Sunderbund ceases to have any object. and is dis- solved of itself. Against these decrees it is alleged, that the federal constitution expressly reserves to each can- ton its sovereignty in all internal matters, and especislly | in all that regards religious worship and public instruc- tion, This was the more necessary, as the Swiss confed- eration consists of States differing not ay in manners, but also in religion, language, and cantons are most bigoted Catholic, d some in which these ly divided. Some of the race. some as bigoted Protestant, oreeds are more or less eq cantons are French in language, some German, some Italian You see, therefore, that the eloments of t! Helvetic confederation are much more heterogen than those of the United States. It will doubtless appear a monstrous stretch of arbi- trary power for the Diet to restriot the C lic cantons in the choice of their priests and public instrueto: to point out a particular order of Catholic ecclesi who are not to officiate in their churches, or to teach in their schools; and eo it undoubtedly is. But it is not no unreasonable as it at first seems to be. In our con- federacy the seat of the general government is not 1 and independent, a5 in the United States. i jd by terms of two years in each of three cantons, vis: Berne, Luzerne, and Zurich. The cantonal government of that in which it is eed for the time being, is the federal executive. The Diet is composed of delegates fromthe cantons respectivel Of course, the executive exercises @ great influence over the general interests of the confederation. Now. of the three directing cantons, two, Berne an d Zurich, ai Protestant, and one, | ne, is Catholic. It is, there- fore, contended that, if the Jesuits be admitted to Lu- serne, they will be the virtusl rulers of Switzerland to use their personal exertions to induce the governments | ution palm This would, or ought to, settle the matier @. at ones ae, Constantinorce, Oct. 7, 1847, The quarrel with Greece is stil) unsettled. The cabi net of St. Petersburg has now offered its mediation. — What may be the result it is impossible to foresee. The insurrection in Albania is finally repressed. The insur- gents have not submitted, but have fled to the moun- tains. The coasting trade with Greece has been stopped, by order of the government of the Porte. Greek vessels will not be allowed either to embark or disembark car- in the h ports. An attempt to evade this by these vessels, the French flag, with the sanction of the French Minister, but the Porte has protested against this. We have been in fear here of the arrival of the cholera, which rages with con- siderable intensity on the shores of the Bosphorus. it has has not, pawerss, 35 arrived. At Trebesonde it attained its great intensity, and is reported to be on felt at Bagdad, the decline. It has also been tag ‘elmer, has been where the French consul, Mr. L. attacked by it, but has recovered. ‘The insurrection still continues in the interior of Greece.

AccipentaL Drownino.—Coroner Walters was called yesterday to hold an inquest upon the of a colored man named Prince Jackson, aged about 26 years, who, while in a state of intoxication, attempted to go on board a vessel lying in Albany basin, to which he belonged, fell into the water and was drowned. Verdict, death by ac- cidental drowning.

Lamers ovr—Storyes Orrn—The police reports are daily filled up with complaints against the lamplighters, or contractors, or some one, in consequence of some, or either, or all of the parties, neglecting to keep the oil lamps hots in many of the streets, at night. High- way robberies, and other orimes, are, as they sllege, in many instances, attributable to this neglect. ‘hey also complain in their reports, of the owners of stores, &o., who leave their doors unlocked, thereby facilitating the operations of thieves and burglars, and enabling them to effect an entrance into dwellings The police officers attribute, and, we believ ory Just! , much of the crime, in the shape of burglar! nd night robberies, to this neglect. No matter how efficient, active, or gilant a body of police we may have in this city, unless they receive their due co-operation from the citizens or the Corporation, their efforts will be rendered, in many instances, of no avail, and crime must multiply. In many of our streets up town, the lamps are put out as early as 11 o’clock at night, and no person is sefe in passing along,no matter how well guarded or protected. We know several instances where the own- ers and occupants of premises in some of the streets up town are deterred from visiting our theatres, or other places of public amusement, through fear of being at- tacked by rowdles or highway robbers on their return to their dwellings, because of the absence of oil or gas- light, The police are, therefore, perfectly justified in reporting to the head of the department on this subject. Wherever the cause of this abuse exists, we trust it will be hunted up, and that, during the winter months, we shall have security for both person and property in the streets we allude to. The police have opened a very just war upon the parties who neglect the lamps, and a upon those who carelessly leave theiratores open at night.

Beroven Baetuaxx—In compliance with one of our canons, the vishops beg leave, at the closeof the trienni- al convention of 1547, to address themselves ina pastoral rarod $0: the members of our church in these rae tates, Although sujects of greatimportance and pain- ful interest have been eae consideration, and the same been earnestly discussed, it is most gratifying to reflect that, throngh the restraining influences of the Holy Spi- rit, our public discussions have been conducted with great moderation and propriety, and that, under thes :- pertending peovitence of God, our deliberations have terminated in the adoption of measures which we may be Permitted to hope will result in the best interests of the church. Let it be the resolve of each of us that we will use our best endeavors to promote this happy result, and let our Prayers be offered up to Heaven for hat blessing without which all the efforts and counsels of man will be bag The bishops, had before rhe groeagh tend $e canon of aaee, have y rn Pi of our wide spr ing communion, reports of the progress and condition of the same during the last triennial period, and are happy to be able to state that God still vouchsafes to graat uume- rited blessings to our church. Her cords are still length- ening and stretching into new portions of the land, and her stakes stre ming where she was already lished, In the nuniber of new churches built and con- gregations formed in some of the dioceses, in the addi- tions to the communion in others, and in the encouraging manner in which most of the reports speak of the general condition of their dioceses, we cherish, the hope that there may be seen the signs of something far more im- portant than any outward prosperity ; for it would yield us no consolation to hear of numbers being added to the ebureh, unless it was accompanied with the good ho that they were of such “as shall be saved’? While, however, we should thank God for the past, and take courage, hoping for more of the divine blessing in the fu- ure, it us in deep humility before God to in- quire how faithfully we have used the many talents com- mitted to our trust; and whether, if we had been more t in the performance of all our duties, we might we received # much larger effusion of the spirit for the cenversion of sinners, for the perfecting of saints, and the effectual operation of all the institutions of the church When we consider the many advantages with which we are favored for the promotion of pure and un- defiled religion, w :d think upom the wealth, intelligence and influence ing to our communion; when we remember the freeness and fulness of God’s grace to E people pray unto him through his son Jesus Christ ; when wo the sure promises of his word to those who preach it faithfully. and make full proof of their ministry, must we not believe that, if all these had been more diligently used in a spirit of faith and prayer,God’s blessing would have much more abound- ed. Had more faithful and importunate prayer been offered up to the great Lord of the harvest, what an in- creased number of faithful laborers might have been sent into the eet field of the world! If « deepor feeling for souls perishing through lack of knowledge had animated our bosoms, would our missionary societies have so much cause to complain that the mrians of doing their great work in the most effectual maoner aro so scantily ‘affo d- ed? While rejoicing, therefore, at what has been done, and in the blessings granted, it becomes all to mourn that so much has been undone, and s» many Perit a thereby forfeited. God’s true children, and especially his faithful ministers, have always been disposed thus to humble themselves at the thought even of their best works, and wonder that they should still be permitted to serve such @ master, and labor in such a cause, unprofit- able and unworthy as they feel themselves to be. To these few remarks on the general condition of the church we have only to add, that one new diocese has been admitted to our union, the diocese of Wisconsin, one beloved brother welcomed into our house, the Bishop of Pennsylvania; and thatimmediately after our separation, another, most wortby of our confidence,will, by Giving permission, be consecrated for the diocese of aine. Having thus, in compliance with past usage and the expressed wish of our brethren, the clerical and lay delegates of the convention, noticed such facts as seem- ed to require our special attention, we proceed as here- tofore to address afew words of counsel to the minis- ters and members of our communion, scattered abroad through this widely extended and highly favored land. In recurring to the Pastoral Letters which have been ad- dressed to the Episcopal Church of America, from its first establishment to the present time, we perceive that great care has been taken to present, with due promi- nence, and just proportion, not only the great doo- trinal features of our holy religion, but those peculiarities of our external organization, which, as we believe, have come down to us with a divine sanction from the times of the Apostles. Nor has it been omitted from time to time to warn agaiust any movements which seemed to threaten eitber the soundness of the ‘faith once deliver- ed to the saints,” or the integrity of the church in its external art ements, as received from our fathers. — Peer d that these admonitions have not been without some salutary influence in times past, and hoping that they will not be forgotten in time to come, we shall on the present occasion forbear their repetition, and invite the serious attention of the church at large tg a few topios of a more practical nature, whose impor*tince all must feel, aad about whieh, surely, taere can be no di- versity of sentiment whatever. We have already said how much it becomes us to be thankful that notwithstanding our unworthiness, and that we have come ro short of our duty in all things. God has etill voucheafed to bless the feeble efforts which have been made for the extension of his kingdom upon earth; and that our endeavor should be, by increased fidelity and zeal, to obtain, through the {nterceasion of our blessed Redeemerymuch larger measures of grace in time to come. We would endeavor to impress this great duty upon your minds by a few words of affectionate counsel, ad- Ue d to the ministers and members of our commu- nion. ‘And first, we speak to our dear brethren in the minis- try. How deeply affecting to us is the consideration that, from the established relation between us and those committed to our charge, it must ever be as a general truth, that what the clergy are in point of doctrine and personal holiness, such wiil be for the most part the cha- racter of the people. While greater blessing cannot be granted to a people than pastors after God’s own heart, the heaviest of all calamities which can befall them, are pastors who @use them toerr. What respon- sibilities, then, are tafd upon us to be good stewards of the manifold grace of God. We are, and must be, to those who hear us,“ asavor of life unto life, or of death unto death;’’ and therefore may we well exclaim, “ Who is sufficient for these things?” It is, however, blessed be God, most encouraging to us in view of our great work, and the account to be rendered, to reflect that there is no duty committed to man in which he has such an assurance of the divine blessing, as the work of the ministry. If, according to our ordination vows, we labor “as much as lieth in us,” “ drawing all our cares and studies that way,” or, according to God’s commands,“ give ourselves wholly to the work,” “taking heed to ourselves and the doctrine and continuing in them,” we shall not fail to be saved ourselves, and to be the instrnment of salvation tomany who hear us. Let us, then, dear brethren, as we wish to have an apostolic church, not only in outward order, butin inward life and holiness, labor as ministers of God to fulfil our work in the spirit of the holy Apostles. They never ceased to realize what they were, what they to do, and what infinite interests depended on their faithful- ness a8 “ambassadors for Christ” They gave them- selves entirely as living sacrifices, conseorated in every affection and faculty to the work. Their constant theme, publicly and from house to house, was“ Jes Christ, end him crucited.” To set him forth in his glorious person aod in his gracious offices, as the Saviour of sinners; to convince men of their need of his justity- ing righteousness, and to lead them by a true repentance and « living faith to embrace it, and then to walk in holiness and righteousness as becometh saints, was their all-absorbing desire and constant labor. Thus engaged, little did they care for this world’s goods and honors; and, dear brethren, Jet us all walk by the same rule, and mind the same things, and so will the work of the Lord prosper in ous hands While we thus exhort our brethren of the ministry tothe most entire devetedness of themselves to their whole work, and to a personal holiness which shall serve asa bright example to their flocks, and while we urge them to the faithful use of the word as th mighty in. strument for the conversion of souls, we would not be unmindful of that part of their ministry which consist in the doe and solemn administration of the holy sacra. ments, ordained by Christ bimeeif [a order that these heavenly ordinances may be what God designed them to be, aud as our article happily expresses it, * sure wit nesses and effectual signs of grace and God’s good will toward: us, by the which he doth work invisibly in us.” let us be careful to see that those who come to them “do rightly, worthily, and with faith rective the same” —that it may not be to their condemuation, aud to the leserning of these holy ordinances in the esteem of others, To this end let those who in riper years are ad- mitted to baptism, as well as those who for the time come tothe Lord’s Supper, be faithfully instructed in the nature of that living faith and heartfelt pe- nitence, without which, according to God’s word and our own articles and offices, they cannot worthily partake of either As wo would also do our part towards commending and makivg most effectual the interesting ordinance of infant baptism which our church rightly retains * as most agreeable to the institution of Christ,” let us see that it be mot done in @ corner, as though we were ashamed of it, or doubted of ita acceptableness to God, but publicly, before the congregation, having the prayers ot God’s peop! with“ the auawer of a good conaience’’ on the those presenting them. Nor can we bo too ear: exhorting our dear brethren to regard these little ones as lambs of Christ's flock, whom they are bound most carefully to watch over and provide for Thia is a duty which they capnot without great guilt devolve on others, however lawtul it may be to avail themselves of the aid of others in order to perform it more effectuaily. We highly esteem, and commend, as auxiliaries to the min- istry, where they are conducted by pious and intelligent teachers, the Sunday schools of the church, but hope they will never supersede the duty enjoined upon all pastors, by the canons of our own and mother c! arch, openly, before the congregation, to instruct the children in the traths of our holy religion, as a guide, using the catechism provided by the church, By the right use ef such provision of the chuch, our ministers will be enabled to fulfil & most important part of their duty— the right preparation of the young for the renewal of their beptiemal vows in the solemn right of confirma tion, Let this be faithfully performed, and the qualifi- cations for ® public confession of Christ with a view to the participation of the Lord’s Supper, be set forth ac- cordiog to the plain design of our standards, and we cannot conceive h wa moro effectual barrier oan be raised against the introduction of the unworthy into _ communion with the church, so far as that commas re consists in the participation of its ordinances. By not iteady, perse ‘and hearty devotion to these and other duties ‘which we have not time even fo mone the bishops are well that should we me. mitted again to meet in General Convention, comfort ang munion, Peat in eee this im, iD to rtant relation. Hence, im hie Second Epistle to the Corinthians, he thusexpre- ses him- self: “ Ye are our epistle, written in our hear’s. known and read of allmen’’ The conduct of those who fess the Gospel is regarded as the legible manifestation of the spirit and instructions of their religious teachers and guides. Men do and will judge of the nature of our religion, and a their estimate of it, the general temper and mat of those who call them- elves Christians. the deep concern of t the A expressed jous ways. the walk of Christians should be worthy of their holy vocation, that “their conversation should be as becometh the Gospel? Where this consistency is found, and in pro- portion to its prevalence, the beauty and excellence of our blessed religion will be understood by minds of every capacity, and felt by persons of every grade of moral character. This mest happy practical influence we ne, covet for your own advancement and comfert in the Divine life, and on account of its salutary influence in co) 1g our common faith to those who are yet strangers to its power. Whem those who have named the name of Christ are careful to depart from all iniquity, studious to avoid all sinful conformity to the world, diligent in cultivating the graces of the Spirit— when they bring forth plemteously the fruits of righteousness, and live in unity and godly love, they thus furnish a clear and excellent commentary on the Chrietion minty, -< ome? “ known and read of all men.” Suffer, then, one word of exhortation, while we affectionately beseech you that “as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, #0 yo would abound more and more.” To you, as to the first disciples, it may be suid: * All things are yours.” Yours are the oracles of God, which are able to make you wise unto salvation. Yours are the exceeding great and pre- olous promises, by which we become partakers of the divine nature. Yours are the ministers of the everlast- , towhom, in jthe faithful discharge of their the presence and blessing of Christ is pledged. the Holy Sacraments other means of race, which, rightly used, insure the spiritual benefits for which they were instituted. Having such advan- tages, how much may be expected of you! how should i be continually growing in grace, and in the know- edge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, walking im the truth yourselves, and causing your light to shine all around you for the benefit of others‘ ‘hile this is the privilege and duty of all Christians, at all times, i places. we feel bound to say, that at this time, and in this land, the lay-members of cur communion, by reason of their position in society—high and commanding as they must feel it to be, by reason of the past history and present circumstances of ourchurch—are brought under the most solemn obligations to aim at the highest emi- nence in all spiritual attainments, and to come behind none in every good work. We wish them to be enlight- ened Christians; and, in order to this, we do not discoun- tenance, but most earnestly urge them to, the searching of the Scriptures daily, that they may sce whether tho things we speak be so, and thus to prove all things, hold- ing fast only to that which is good. Instead of thinking that ours is the exdlusive privilege of intercession, wo wish them to pray for us continually and most earnestly, that we may open-our mouths boldly and speak as we ought te speak. Wecailon them to be co-workers to- gether with us,‘as we with Christ, for the extension of his kingdom in ail the ways appointed for them of Heaven. There are those who seem to think, that when thoy have contributed their proportion to the temporal comfort of God’s ministers, the duty of co-operation is over. Far be it from us to encourage such an unworthy thought. And yet the bishops feel that they may be permitted, on this occasion, to speak one word in behalf of their brethren, many of whom are very peor in this world’s goods. We would say to the laity, ‘dat the duty of providing for them, though not their only duty, is yee a very necesary part théreof, and that. che icspized Apostle, while asking nothing for hims+lf, yet earnestly pleaded for his associates. If your ministersare devoted to the promotion of your spiritual benefit, it is but right that you should due regard to their temporal wante. We would not have them to be burthensome to you by unreasonable demands, nor should you consent to see them bowed down under a weight ‘of are, lest their very necessities, and the necessities of their families, be unsuppli The ministers of God are yours, not to serve you for nought, or for a most insufficient support, but to minister to t Me taithfully in spiritual things, and to be ministered unto kindly by you in temporal things Therefore, bya due attention to their temporal necessities, encourage them, we beseech you, to give themselves wholly to the work of the ministry, that they may thus make fall proof thereof But think not that in doing this you have discharged all which God requires of you. Each one of you in his vocation, according to age and other clroumstances, must, by word and deed, be auxiliary to the ministry in your several parishes. Parents must aid them by bringing up their children in the nurture and admon tion of the Lord. The heads of families must aid them by the instruction given to their domestics, and by the pious regulation of their households. Each one should be @ priest in his own house, and so avert that fury which is threatened against all those families which call not on the x1ame of the Lord. Ofall Christians it is written, that they are not only a peculiar people, but a “royal priesthood,*? to show forth the praises of the Lord; and never, througi any false modesty, must they shrink from this high res- ponsibility. Not Christian ministers only, but Christian people, are appointed to be ae salt to the earth and light to the world. With the Apostle, therefore, we would constantly affirm, that they which have believed becare- ful to maintain good works, for they are acceptable to God, and profitable to us and our fellow-men. While we are saved by grace through faith, and not of works; while there is, and can be, no merit in man, all merit being in our Blessed Redeemer- yet it is tha bounden duty of all the ,redeemed so to live that Christ may be glorified in his jute, and aimired in all those who be- lieve; and if t! not their earnest desire and honest endeavor, it is thereby shown that they are none of His. And now, brethren beloved, permit us to sum up all our exhortations on this head, in the beautiful and compre- hensive words of an Apostle: ‘Finally, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatso- ever things are just; whatsoever things are pure; whatso- ever things are lovely; whatsoever things are of good pee pale! if there be any virtue, and ifthere be avy praise, think on these things.” Few and plain have been our words, dear brethren; yet, ifeven these be humbly received and faithfully ob- served, it will not be in vain that your bishops have been permitted to address you once more; and yet, be- fore we take a last farewell, we must speak one word to you, not merely ae ministers and members of our be- loved church, planted by God’s right hand in this west- ern world, but as individuals of this great nation, as ate this bighly eae ts oth Destined to be a mighty instrument in God’s hand for great purposes to- wards his church and the whoie human race, our coun- try is an object of the deepest interest to the philanthro- ist and the Christi Great has been the favor of eaven towards it for a long series of years. The blessings of ctvil and religious liberty are enjoyed by us in an unexampled degree. Our fertile soil yields more than isneeded for our own use, although the population of the land increases with a most fearful rapidity.— ‘The poor and suffering of the old world are annually pouring themselves by thousands and hundreds of thou- sands into this land of abundance, but still it over- fiows. During the past yeat, when, in the Providence of God, famine with all its attendant horrors was per- mitted’ to visit one portion of the land of our fore- fathers, and when desolation seemed about to reigm there- in, that God who first gave the means, put it iuto the hearts of our fellow-citizens to bring forth of their abun- dance, and bid the winds and waves waft their stores to the rescue of thousands from the most horrid form of slow, consuming death. The prayers of perishing millions and the gratitude of @ nation have been ours, while the thus mitigated calamity, by the overruling | providence of God, will help to cement a blessed union between two of the greatest nations in Christendom. May that union never be broken, but continue to atrengthen more and more! and’ may England and ‘America be ever found, not only ready to pour forth their treasures each on the other whenever the time of need shall come, but to unite in every Christian effort for the coaversion of the world! May they be generous rivals only in what is great and good, and fur the benefit of a fallen race! Gladly would we now conclude, and contemplate nothing but love and peace throughout the world; but that happiness is forbidden us, Our country is once more involved in the horrors ot war, the end whereof can only be seen by the Omniscient One Friends, | neighbors, children, husbands, have been called t ttle in a distaint land) Many who have already fallen lie buried far trom their homes Others are covered with | wounds, and no kind relative is there to bind them up ; while disease has swept away its thougangs. How many bleed und die, and what other calamities may ell unknown to us. But without io the least interfering with questions which divide and agitate the minds of our feilow-citizens, and from which your Bishops have siways abstained in their Pastoral Ad- dresses, we feel solemuly bound to follow the example of tue inspired Apostle, and in his words exhort, that “sup- plications and prayers, intercessions and givin; be made for ail men ;” especially for those authority, that we may lead quiet and peaceab! all godliness and honesty.” We doubt not but that theusands of hearts have already been thus lifted up in forvent prayer; but it would be a great neglect on our part to permit such an occasion as this to pass, without a pecinl eull upon those whom we address to perform their duty taithfully, by continued and earnest entreaties to the God of Peace to bring to a speedy termination the warfare which now afflicts this continent, as well as to make wars to oeae ever to the ends of the earth But should God for our sins refuse to grant our petition— should war still continue to rage abroad and strite to prevail at home, then let us still pray that all may be overruled for good—that the kingdom of Christ may be audvaneed thereby, and the happy period soon arrive whon the kingdoms of this world shall become the king- doms of Christ, and the whole earth be covered with the knowledge of, the Lord. And now, manne dita all to the grace of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, we bid you an affectionate farewell.
