France. THE ENTRY OF LOUIS NAPOLEON INTO PARIS. After virtually accepting the Empire, by his"speceh at Bordeaux, Louis Napoleon has returned to Paris, there to | await the more formal declaration of his new position. His entry into Paris, on Saturday, 16th ult., passed with the greatest Gclat. Even making abatement | the very florid descriptions in the French papers, the dis- play would seem to have been specially impdsing. The elements of such spectacles were more profuse than usual—triumphal arches, banners, transparencies, gilded eagles, deputations, processions, the army and the | citizens in their holiday suits, all exhibited their splen dors to the best advantage, urMler the favoring circum- stance of a cloudless sky and weather a3 fine as could be | wished. The inscriptions and devices exhibited a re- TUR APIRITUAL RAPPINGS CONTENTION, | markable uniformity of sentiment, as well they might, considering they were mostly got up by the government. ener eereeeeee eres | The Moniteur, however, denies this, and states that the 3STHE CAFFRE WAR. reception in all its parts was the spontansous tribute of | the people of Paris. . ‘The grandest of the arches was one spanning the Pont @pening of the Parana and Uruguay. | ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. awn FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE, Zhe Grand Reception; off Zouis | Mapoleon in Paris. | FROM AUSTRALIA, Appeal Against the American Filibusters.

St, Denis and St, Martin were embellished in like man- ner with crowns and laurels, At the Cercle, corner of the Rue Lepelletier; at the Maison Doré, corner of the Rue Laffite, the decorations were gorgeous; and at the corner of Rue de la Paix was suspended a chain of leurel leaves, bearing medallions of Louis, with the in- scription :—“ The First Battalion of the National Guard to Napoleon III.” We have room for only a few more of these devices and inscriptions :—On the Boulevard St. Martin an eagle surmounting an arch, with the inscrip- tion, ‘‘God Protect the Emperor; another arch on the eame boulevard, “‘4ve Casar Imperator; on the wall of the Ambigu Comique, a crowned eagle, with the motto, “Vox Populi 7,500,000, Vox Dei; onan arch at the great gate of the Tuileries, on the Place de la Concorde:— “ Grateful Workmen to Napoleon IIL, Emperor, the Saviour of Modern Civilization, the Protector of the Sciences, Arts, Mericulture, Industry, and Commerce; and finally, at the corner of the Chausée d’Antin, the rather absurd one of— “To His Imperial Highness Prince Louis Napoleon IIT, from the Directors of the Fites Dansantes of St Cecile—Vive | PEmpereur!” The Prince entered the city on horseback, by the bridge of Austerlitz,and proceeded to the Tuileries, the troops and on immense crowd following with grles of “ Vive Napoleon HI!

In the evening the city was illuminated The following is the official address of the Prefect of the Seine, M.

Fors month past she has followed you heart and thought in your triumphal progress, and longed with im’ patience for the day when she also might hail your return with her scclamations.

The news from Europe is interesting, especially in regard to the movements of Louis Napoleon. The President of the French republic returned to Paris on Saturday afternoon, the 16th ult. His re. ception was most enthusiastic. Preparations on a very extensive scale were made for his reception.

It is noticeable that the Irish Catholic papers exult in the prospect of the re-establishment of a French empire. The Atheneum mentions that a letter has been received from Mr. Boyd Late O who is in spit command of the expedition sent by the colonial go- vernment of New South Wales search of Dr. Leichardt, the Australian traveller.

Avother steamship, named the Secondo, mato of the Primero, launched anys was launched on the 16th, on the Thames. Both ships are intended for service on the coast of Cuba. : Austria. The Universal German Gazette states that a banking house in London had offered to raise a loan for Austria of ten millions sterling, on favorable terms, but the offer had not been aecepted. There is a rumor of closer ties to be drawn be- tween Austria and Franee, to the detriment of Prussia. The statement is important if true, but rests at present on the authority of the Frankfort Post Zatung. Prussia, The latest official document that has appeared, relating to the piloted of the Zollverein, is a despatch from the President of the Prussian cabinet, M. Von Manteuffel, to the ministers of Prussia at the. several courts of Germany, containing a justifi- cation of his policy in breaking off the negotiations of the Congress, and showing that to havo con- tinued them would have produced no result. Two arrests have recently been made, on informa- ; tion forwarded to the police from New York, of in- dividuals sent to Hurope to pase forged Prussian notes, fabricated in America.

Every step of the forgers was regularly reported to the Berlin police by & member of the band, and they were allowed to carry out their attempts, only to fall into the hands of the authorities when the proof was ripe. Denmark, The budget for the ensuing year has been sub- mitted to the chambers. It shows an income for the whole monarchy of 13,821,736 r. thalers, or a surplus of 861,336 r. thalers. Under these favora- ble circumstances the Minister of Finance intends to defer the introduction of an income tax. Italy. By a decree, dated Gth inst., vessels from United States ports are, for the present, subject to a qua- rantine observation, at Leghorn, for six days. It is tated that the late political executions at Sinigaglia will be followed up by similar butcheries at Urbano and Ancona. Turkey. Muktar Bey, General of Artillery, is appointed Minister of Finance, and the Portiolio of Commerce is given to Kramil Pasha.

Letters from Beyrout, ji dts 28th, state that hostilities on a emall scale had commenced between the Syrian army and the Druses. The majority of the tribes, however, manifest an inclination to settle matters amicably. Cape of Good Hope. Tho mail steamer Bosphorus, from Cape of Good Hope, Sept. 7th, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday, 16th inst. The news is rather more favorable. Gen Cathcart had returned from his expedition across the river Kei, having burned the camp of the Cafire chief Kreili, and taken 10,000 head of cattle, horses, &c. The General says that his ob- | ject has been fully attained. The Waterkloof, as weil as many of the frontier districts, continue to be infested by predatory bands and rebel Hottentots. It is said, however, that Uithalder, their chief, and the celebrated Macomo, have made overtures of peace. It is doubtful whether the war be much nearer its termination. It is not true that gold deposits had been found at the Waterkloof, but some auriferous indications were reported near that locality. Appeal from England against the American Lg Hibuater [From the London Times, Oct. 16 ] The public writers of England and of the United States Mave few duties to perform, beyond the im- mediate circle of their domestic interests, which can vie in importance with those they owe to each other. At the present time, especially, when the press of these two nations enjoys all but a apmplete monopoly in the free discussion of publie affiirs throughout the world, they are bound by the high- ost motives to keep in view the common welfare of the race to which thoy belong, and to defend the common interests of the liberty they enjoy. For ourselves, we hold it to be not the least of the pri- vileges of our position that we may sometimes ad- dress, in their own language and with congenial priccipies, thoze mighty multitudes of free aud in- telligent men whose onward tide has already joined the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts; and that the opinions and convictions of d, multiplied ten thousand fold by the innumerable journals of the Union, and spread over an invateulable extent of territory aad population, may sometimes weigh with the influence of a kicsman’s voice upon the mind and conduct of the American people. To pro- mote those sentiments of esteem and good will which every tie of nature and of policy pre- scribes to us and to the people of the United States, has constantly been our desire; and though we have never forborne to express with great frankness and severity our regret and indignation at occurences indicating a dopar- ture from the strict path of national morality on the part of the United States, we are coulident that the views we have expressed on such questions pe ieee annexation, and piratical warfare, are those of the best and most eminent citizens of the Union, and we may hope that these opinions acquired some additional force when it was found that they were echoed and supported by the inde- pendent judgment of this country. We take smali account of # class of turbulent and noxious writers inthe United States who follow the opposite course, and who endeavor to inflame the suspicions and mosities of the populace against Great Britain. ‘Those mischievous dpe originate, as we havo reason to believe, with Irish renegades and Eaglish outcasts far more than with the educated classes, even the genuine population of the American citi ana their authors are animated by a morbid boa- tility to the country they have abandoned, rather iY | gloriously terminated by no oxclusive or territorial | man would dare to serve his country at the expenss | of a public wrong. | to be warned by past failures, and things were al- than by an eulightened regard for that which they | have adopted. Whenever, on the contrary, the dis- cussions of the two countries are carried on in the temperate and friemdly spirit which is alone conso- nant to their clove relationship and their enormous | common interests, they ought to strengthen thoso ties which can never be weakened or broken wich- out inflicting # most eerious calamity upon tho world. Such were the intentions with which we com- mented, not long ago, on the two great sysvems of policy—the policy of commerce rnd the policy of conqueat—whicb lay open to tho inexhaustible ensr- gies of the American people; and we learn with pleasure that our observations have been read bo- ond the ordinary Jimits of our own circulation, ut, if there be any value in-the criticiem suggested to Kuropeans and to Englishmen, by the vourss of events in the United States, it consiste mainly in the more strict and binding couception of Jegal rights which we pre wont to a to prblis a thy great peril of popular goveraments and dem cratia society ip general jr, that the majority, oonscivus of | | | | | i | i { | rior bounded by Brazil on the east, and by the An- "by which that extension has been | without being struc 3 or a confound that BD Seareiie areas atte at tude, or efface Stain of one act i i ce. ye! ry mmercial mil mbit contipaally Srodartakizgs which tight contribute to wealth greatness of the country ; but nation of honest men is wi be lawfally pur- sued, ther even ‘in such enterprises is not rather a disgrace than a triumph. To swindle the public creditor, to attack a defencoless neighbor, to connive at the designs of a band of pirates on @ island, to dispute the most obvious rights of other States, simply because they. inter! with a national interest, are things which no amount of success can liate; bat the ovly security theze intolerable abuses of superior force the moral feeling of the nation. It is on that ground alone that we cap ever preanies to condemn some of the acts of the American people. No doubt a large party in the United States regret as much as we can do that Mississippi and Pennsylvania repudiated their debts; that Mexico was invaded without a low of lawful Piers ag that Cuba was attacked by soureged, Amatchitg? adie te sopmipeienn tha jee courag merican 78 to a 10 pro- duce of the Lobos Islands, ea mi ny as well have appropriated that of the Isle of Wight. Bi in —— ey Boe our pera baa on the other scar son- sible of the distinction we nat draw Pet subh acts ‘whan they are lopely “reprebenst acts wi joy are le. is not the extension of terri of the United States that we deprecate or condemn, but the means sometime car- ied on. Louisiana was hased from Franoe, and Florida from Spain, a fart bargain was made and a fair price P for those provinces. No one ever dreamt of disputing the legality and good policy of such acquisitions. Nay, even when hostilities had broken out between the United States and Mexico, ere ie we saw great, reason to condemn the series of clandestine sions which preceded and led to the war, nobody questioned the juest of certain territories was the natural result of such a struggle. If the crown of Spain were disposed to divest itself of the sovereignty of Cuba by recognizing its indepen- dence, or by ong ag 4 the dominion of the island to another Ponts we should have no more right to oppose such a transfer than wo had to oppose the sale of Florida. As long as the progress ef the Union is carried on by legal, pacific, and avowable means, not only we are not adverse to it, but we have little doubt that it promotes our own interests, by extending the Fange of trade, and by placing some of the most fertile parts of the globe in the hands of a more en lc and industrious people than the descendants of the Spanish race. But it is the attempt to carry on the work of civilization by violence and fraud which calls forth our strenuous spronticn, and which we hold to be utterly unwor- y of a people already in esion of an unlimited territory and unlimited freedom. The American notion of propagating democracy and democratic gcrerueen in the world, by such means, isan absurd jlusion, unless they are ESVEared, to propagate and fo.m the States and nations to which their own in- stitutionsare applicable. It would be as practicable to apply constitutional monarchy and representative government to the Hindoos or the Sikhs as to ex- tend pure American democracy over the former co- lonies of Spain. The Anglo-Americans may tako their institutions a’ong with them, but beyond the territories inhabited by their own race they will find subjects and slaves, not fellow citizens. Neither is there any sound foundation for the parallel which bes sometimes been attempted be- tween the wars in which the British empire has of late years been engaged, and those wars of conquest Our war with the Caffres may be the result of im- more be avoided or terminated than the protracted contest of the United States with the Seminoles on their Indian frontier. The war in China was forced upon this country by the aggravated insults offered to the accredited agent of the Crown, and it was advantages, but by specie the chief ports of China to the trade, not of England, but of the world. fhe extension of our Indian territory has advanced, and probably is still advancing, in defiance of the efforts made to arrest its progress, by causes which appear to be beyond our control. There are public acts perfectly consistent with our dut; foreign powers as well as to ourselves, which we find it easy to jus- tify and to avow; for though in the affairs of agreat empire occurrences may sometimes arise which the severer laws of morality condemn, yet the feelings and the convictions of the people of England scorn and repudiate political advantages purchased at such a price, and in these times no English states- To maintain these prineiples of honor, forbearance and legality, is a higher duty and a more lasting advantage than to indulge the rapacity of conquest, or to extend the foundations of an empire; and we are persuaded that the Com monwealth of the United States will ensure its prosperity and perpetuate its institutions by re- Pressing whatever is irregular in its ambition, far more than by the most ample and unscrapulous in- enlace of its passions at the expense of the rights of others. The Opening of the Parana and Ur: aye trom the London News, October 18 ron . To all who had fears that the recent movements in the Plate would end in greater difficulties ard embarrassments than ever—who expected that the overthrow of one dictator would lead to the substi- tution of another—who felt dislike of Brazilian in- terference in the regulation of rivers w if ave their sources in Brazilian territories —or had Uoubts as te the possibility of settling and arranging any- thing in countries apparently #0 irritable and quar- relsome—the news published on Saturday must give | great relief. To those who, like ourselves, auti pated nothing but improvement from the down! of Rosas, the emancipation of the upper provinces | of the Argentine Confederation from .the thraldom of Buencs Ayres, and the formation of general | federal arrangements to give to each province a | fair share in the common concerns of all—that | intelligence is a reasonable fulfillment of their hopes | and anticipations. The result gives a remarkable | leseon to diplomacy, whilst it opens a new era for commerce and civilization. When Lord Aberdeen sent Mr. George Ousely out in.1845 on a special mission to the Plate, his first ob- ject was to save the independence of the Banda Ovi- ental; his second, to open up the Uruguay and the | Parana to foreign trade. These objects tho British | and French governments attempted to carry out by | a blockade, which lasted no less than three years at | the cost principally of British trade and taxation It failed, mb Bd foe and discreditably. The | independenee of the Banda Oriental was not pre- served—it became a mere province of Rosas-and, | instead of opening out the navigation of these rivers, | Mr. Soutberon, the British minister at Buenos Ayres, was at last glad to retire ignominiously frem -allinterference, by signing a treaty which closed | both the Uruguay and the Parana effectually to all foreign commerce. Such was tho consequences of | ill advised interference of Britieh and Freach diplo- macy inthe affairs of the Plate. Is lofi matvors worse far than it found them; it exponded large sums and deprived commerce of great profits; and it con: firmed, to all appearance, the power and strongth of | Rosas. Happily, during the recent movements, European | diplomacy had hardly time or opportunity for serious | interference, or there is no saying what might have | happened. Mr. Hudsov, our Minister at Rio de Ja- | neiro, did indeed get up a little remonstrance against Brazil for daring to protect her own frontiers against | the depredations of Oribe, who ruled in the Banda | Oriental. Thgeo were, however, unheeded by Beazil; the British government at home had the good sonse lowed to take their natural course. Brazil obtained satisfaction in the Banda Oriental by Oribe’s over- throw, and the substitution cf a national adminis tration ; she aleo secured an acknowledgment of her right to navigate freely waters which riso in and run through her provinces. The discontents of the up- provinees of the Argentino Confederation at the despotism of Rosas were encouraged by this eman- cipation of the Banda Oriental; Urquiza, the Gov- ernor of Entre Rios, joiaed the Brazdian Alliaace ; war was declared against Rosas; and how is ended in his expulsion we ali know. The first result of thése movements and combina- tions, in which Nuropean diplomacy took no part, was exactly that which it had go sigaally failed to achieve when it did interfere—the independenco of the Banda Oriental. And now the great result is the opening up of the rivers Uraguay and Parana after the Ist of this month to the shipping of all nations—in which [Wuropean diplomacy also failed All of which, we submit, suggests tho wisdom and prudencs of our lettiog things take their own couree io countries like theee. Tho importance of the decree of Urquiza oan hardly be overrated. Tt literally fulfils tho original desiga ef the Spar iards in first ascending tho Plate, whish was to find a now and oasier route to the countriesJying on the Pacific than tho voyage round Onpe Horn; and it will gradually open up new aud vast countries to European commerce, Kuropean settlement and Naropead civilization. It is, indeed, had oath to glance at the map with the manifest importance of the Plate in a commersial point of view. Along mconst of 2,000 miles, it is the only means of cow: municatiog with all those vast regions in the inte- dew on the west it is the ee tothe Banda Oriental, to all the provinges o| the Argentine Coo federation, 10 Paraguay, wo the State of Bolivia, and to a great put of ora. All these fae couctrios | are watered and drained by s host of streams which ly uniting 6t last, flow into the Parana and a they at their confluence above Martin form the great estuary known as the Plata. Hitherto these upper streams, all more or less navigable, and rivalling the Missis- sippi and Missouri in extent, have been closed to foreign shipping, and native shipping on them there ie little or none. The ordinary trailic of the coun- tries they water is still carried on by caravans or in troops; and so great is the cost of this mode of tra- vel, that Sir Woodbine Parish calculates tho ex- pense of fourteen wagons going from Buenos Ayres to Salta and back at not less than £1,000, and the time eau in the journey at from ten to twelve | months. It was the policy of Rosas—with a view to the aggrandisement of himself and Buenos Ayres—to keep these upper rivere closed. Urquiza, however, with wizer instincts, has reversed that policy, and thrown thom open to all the world; an pecelly we may anticipate Leet aso navigation pene- trating to Paraguay—perhaps even senending. by the Vormejo or the Pilcomayo, into Bolivia; for it is by steam navigation only that full advantage can be taken of this dacree and of the treaty which Urquiza has formed with Par: yy. No doubt, there are, at times, serious difficulties and obstruc- tions in the navigation of the Parana up to Corrien- | tes, where it receives the river Paraguay, but nono so serious as may not be seriously encountered and overcome. The British steamor Alecto, of 200 horse power and 800 tons burthen, under favorable circumstances, made the yoyeee, from Montevideo to Corrientes and back, full 2, miles, in thirty- nine days. But once epee’ on the Paraguay, | there is an uninterrupted inland navigation through nearly nineteen degrees of latitude over a mud bot- tom, without a rock ora stone to impede the pas- sage. ready ourtrade with these countries is} con- siderable, though carried on by the costly interven- | tien of Buenos Ayres and Montevideo. With the exception of Chile, the Plate is even now the most | valuable market ed to us by the emancipation ef the Spanish colonies; and when it is recollected that, ga, ton last twenty-four years, the Plate — has been subjected to no less than three blockades— | each lasting nearly three years, and more than eight in all—-it is a matter rather of surprise than any | other feeling that our exports thither should reach a million annually. Under the influence of free navi- gation and moderate import duties, it can hardly be doubted that they will go on gradually increasing. At present, however, it must be recollected by our merchants that the population of these countries is not great, and the probability is that since thoir emancipation from the Spanish crown, it has seri. ously declined in the upper States of the Argentine Confederation. But the Koga £4 Urquiza’s po- licy is to attract immigration from the southern countries of Europe. There has long been a dispo- sition on the part of the Basque provinces of Spain to send thither their surplus population; and to the oppress@ people of Italy the plains of the Argentine onfederation may yet furnish new and happier homes. With peace and tranquillity, too, popula- ae will soon recover itself, even without such ad- ons. New and great prospects are, it is clear, openin; on these countries prospects to which Piste cod pecially has a deep interest in giving every encour- Sgement; not, however, by meddling in, and mak- | ing, and marring their domestic coneerng, but by | following the wiser one set by B: giving substantial evidence of her desire gee them | flourighing and pro: achieve greatness ant forts.

The Wonders of America—The Spiritual Rappings Convention, {From the London News, Oct. 16.) Whatever reason there may be doubt that the Yankees beat ‘* the old country ” in all possible do- maing, there can be no hesitation in saying that they ‘‘lick them to immortal smashes,” to use another of their ewn ex; jive terms, t! nid ‘catawampously chaw the Britishers up” in supergensual matters. Great as they undoubtedly 6 OD ma Ce in Biawoun wary, - re a ing, yacht g, daguerreoty , gin-sling, an a seh of terrene achievements of fie ete still greater are they in their mastery over the details of the spiritual world. They are like the intellectual victor celebrated by the poet, not only do they “conquer worlds,” but they ‘imagine new.”? Mor- monism, which in England dwelt in unclean places, unknown to Commissioners of Sewers, and lifted u, its voice in back streets only, where it was drown by the adult brawls and the infantine screams of ae deg oe population,” is elevated into a pewer in the United States. There it chooses governors, enacts laws, makes war. ‘ Revivals,” which in England tremble at the shaking of a policeman’s club, in America convulse States, overawe power, | lead thousands captive. In America, German trans- cendental philosophy, which is so sickly an exotic | in England, takes vigorous root, becomes an element in the public mind, flourishes in trans- cendental magazines like The Dial, finds voices in wonderful women like Margsre) Faller, or erratic philosophers like Ralph Waldo Emerson. All this points to an extreme sympathy in some por- tion at least of the American population witl ery. thing that relates to the world beyond the senses: The old Puritan belief in the existence of magic, which expressed itself in the burning of witches so decidedly that it was difficult to find an old woman in New England, has come down to the modern des- cendants of the pilgrim fathers ‘‘ with a difference.” There are numbers ready still to believe in com- munications with the unseen world. The grim form, however, of the old Paritan faith, which had some- thing sublime in it, is changed for the benefit of modern believers into something rather pleasanter and as it apresrs to outside infidels something inten- selycomic. ‘To some portion, however, of the Ameri- can population there is §nothing at all comic in the matter. They have taken the thing up seriousl: ly, and | determining to bring spiritual influence as well as all others, within the boundary of republican forms, they have lately held.a spiritual convention. The American papers tell us that at Worcester, in Mas- sachussetts, several hundred believers in spiritualism convened in the Horticultnral Hall, on September the twenty-ninth, and commenced, after having in @ most matter-of-fact manner, chosen @ ehairman, to discuss gravely all sdrts of questions which relate tothe spiritual world. The report of the meeti shows that no subject was forbidden, that had in any elements of impossibility, or was contrary to he dictates of common sense, A Mr. Spear commenced the entertainment.

Who can doubt, after this, that Mr. Spear will turn up at at Paris next year, comfortably settled in the rue Rivoli, with the run of the Boulevards generously secured to him by the spiritualists ? If not seen at Paris, look for him at Baden, or Munich, or Naples, or any locality which has convenicaces for garner- ing that somewhat indistinct but gratefal product called “ the fat.of the land.” Mr, Spear is a wise man in his generation, and assured his hearers at the conclusisn of his speech that ‘the thought some great good would result to the world from this gift, it he was allowed time and easo to develop it.” Who doubts that great good would resalt—at least to that one fraction ot the world represented by Mr_ J. M. Spe ; The afternoon ‘ion was attended by cight hua- dred people. The * busin ommittee™’ reported re= lations recommending quarterly mass meetings of be- lievers, the institution of b onial orotherhoods, the formation of spiritual circles, and “various other means of bringing do vn heaven to earth, and lifting euth up to heuven.” The reporter, who does not appear to have been duly struck with the proper | quantum of reverence, informs us rather cruelly that “a good deal of incoherent discussion followed about mesiperism, magnetism, phsycoism, and several other iems.”” In the evening, at seven o’clock, the hall was again crowded, ‘‘although,” says the astonisted re~ porter, ‘a fee of ten cents was charged at the door.” We can scarcely think, however, that ten centsis dear | for a “hand: book of (he-next world;” and we are not | much eurprised that ind! y believing in the possibility of obtaining materials for euch & band book, should not hesitate to invest the sam men- tioned in the purchase. Mr. Andrew Jackson Davis was the hero of the eveniog, and continued his efforts to mystify his hearers on the next day. Not having at hand # guide to the literature of the spiritualists, We ure not quite eure whether Mr. Davis is the “Poughkeepsie Seer,” who published a volume of folly and blasphemy of portentous dimensiof® somo time back. he style, however, of the speech and the book are o much alike, that they would appear to betray a common prrentage. Mr. Davis read to he convention a true and faithful record of visions he had seen, and communications he bad rove from an inbabitat of the spirit spheres. His angel f hail gtones suspended in tho air, and aigo great ficlds of ponderous clectric ele- ments and meteoric stoncs, and told him that the laws of gravitation were notyet well understood. The spirit, eaid the philosophical Mr. Davis, showed hiaa these things to prove that spiritaal bodies, which were matter spiritualized, could walk, move, have their beiog in tho superior spheres without any From philosophy to theology was but « jump, and Mr. Davis accom. pliehed this by telling nis hearers that tho spirit commanded tim to go aod call men to repentancs wud life, for the kingdom of Heaven was at hand! ‘The next transaction seemed to indicate that the Mr. Spear mentioned above, and Me.
