English mail steamer Danube, borreny Capta in Weit,from Vera Cruz on the lst inat., hae CHINA. arrived here. She brings telegrams from the capital of Mexico to December 31. The Danube experienced heavy gales off Vera Cruz. She left two achooners ashore near the lighthouse on St. Juan de Ulloa, By orders from General Porfirio Diaz, command- ing the department, who had arrived at Vera Craz, a steamer with fifteen hundred troops under General Alatorre had sailed from that port for Yucatan, to suppress the rebellion in that penin- sula. General Millan replaced General Alatorre in the military command at Vera Cruz, during the latter's absence. The Mexican treasury was reported to be empty, and the resignation of Sefior José Maria Iglesias, as Minister of the Treasury, had been:accepted by President Juarez. The other changes reported in the Cabinet recently are doubtful. Sefior Lerdo de Tejada keeps his portfolio end his seat in Congress as well. President Juarez was inaugurated at an extra- ordinary session called on the 25th, and delivered an inaugural address. On December 31 @ duel took place at the capi- tal between Colonels Mejia and Garza, in: which the latter was fatally wounded. Colonel Barron had arrived at the capital to: ar- range the affairs of the Barron estate, left in his hands by the death of Don Eustaquio Barron a few months since. The estate is probably the most valuable in the republic. The vicar of Cucrnavaca had been driven from that place. ’ Sefior Morales, who was recently kidnapped, was compelled to pay $60,000 as a ransom for his life. This kidnapping business is becoming again of great frequency. Qangreas has taken it into consideration and prontixes to remedy the evil.

The mansion now occupied by the Ameri- can Legation is a most magnificent one, General Vicanes is suspected of having influenced certain members of Congress to work in favor of the general amnesty. The press deems the prose- cution of the matter inexpedient. THE PRESS TELEGRAMS.

He might ask a ehil¢ that question, and the reply would be at the first Btreak of dawn, orat sunrise; but, no, “The evening and the morsing’’—that is the order, as we learn trom the Bible—“ the ovening and the morning wore the first day.” Theday begins with the night; the year com- menoes with the a wales, This, too, is particu- larly the case with men—men who become noted—ad- versity comes before ity. at this int of his discourse the case of Elijat, The prophet lijah was on Mount Horeb; the minsgeame, tis earth quaxed, tbe thunders roared, the lighbtaings od, Re mountains rocked to and'fro; then after ail these there “tbe stilt small voice’ ‘n which God was. ‘The orderly law was ushered in by thunderings and gbialogs, It the beautiful gospel by a stern prophet. was then shown by the er that when @ man hesa truth to utter, if i be @ great truth, it canuot be suppressed. He may be 10 @ wilderness whon he mates the cry, but that earuest ory will empty tue city and brig hearers to listen and tremble snd yield. The man may disappear, may never be seen, Dut in every case whore there is anything real inthecry the ‘‘voice’’ will go sounding down tho ages, Tbe earnestaces of this barbisger was now noticed. He nothing. ioaportant about himself except his ‘voioe,”” “I am the voice.” But ho ‘a voice “crying.” He |, 4a full earnest in his work, “Ho believed that what has to say was just what the age wanted, He cried untu tx» made the people hear, ‘And then the preacher proceeded to cail attelltton to the awful kind of discriminateness of the message, To rich and No pom to the learned and to the illiterate, to the pubis’an and to the Pharisee; to all of these there was the same cry of “Repent! Make straight the way of the Len'!’? Repentance—all need it, The denizens of stately avenues and the skuikers in the alums of the city—als have much leveilins to do to make way for the coming, of Qrist, The message is simply “Repent! Make straight tho way of the Lurd,”” @ quotation from Isaiab, wheve;the original is ‘Clear the way of Jeho- van.” It mesha, first, remove ail obstacles of prejudice, passion, sinfas living; aod, secondly, remove all obliqui- ties by redoing’ bigh places filling up low pisces; giade the road, make ft straight as 8 ievel, ‘Bho forerunner makes this equiva- lent to “repemi” To pre for the coming of the Lerd we must first repeat—that is, change our minds as to.ouraeds 0s; We inust take down high thoughts of our goodness, napraliiy and self-suificiency, as thouga we did not-need stm Christ; we musi fill up with wo Precious promiswe all low thoughts of ourselves, as.if We were too meas for the notice and pleasure of the Lord, Second, we must repent, change our minds as to our fellow men; we must cut down high thoughts of them as objects of envy, or as being able to savo us, aud. we must fll up low timoughts of thei as objecis of cor tempt, In our eyesshey must become subjects of deeming {rico and wo mist tharelere exert one labors in their behalf Thted, but mos: especially must we have repentance towaeds God, and change our minds as to His all-powerfuiness, omnipresence, His good- ness, His grace, mercy.

St. George's (Dr. Tyna’s) Church, Last evening this magnificent ediflco was densely crowded in every part. Service commenced at baif- past seven o'clock, after winch the Rev. Dr. John Cotton Smith, D, D., ascended the pulpit, and preached on “Liberal Principles in the Episcopat Church.” The reverend gentleman chose for his text the tenth verse of the third epistie of St. Jobn:—‘Neither doth He Himseif receive the brethren and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.” The subject to which he wished to. draw their attention was that of the liberal priociples of the Episcopal Church, which be said were liberal in the truest and best sense. But there were two sections, one of waich embraced the broadest and most liberal principles, and the other those of = narrow and contracted nature. The church t which they belonged was now in open conflict, carried on by the advocates of narrow and exclusive views, who, although they bad no longer the por however much they had the disposition, to injure their functions, had neverthe- jess the power and disposition to impair the Liberal views im their Church, The two great points at issue were the liberty of preaching aud the liberty of frater- nizing witn other churches and thor minisiers. Now, with regurd to the latier poin t of fraternizing with oiber churches and iiberty uarestrained by judicial Jurisdiction, It should be remembered that upon that ‘point they were acting ou the defonsive, They had made no atiempt to restrain liberty of others and merely enjoyed their own. He commented upon the isue of @ pastoral letter woich said was full of ree proaches upon that point. With regard to the second point—the right of clergymen of their Church to preach within the prescribed errtory—be hela oat any attempt to restrain =the minis» ters from preaching the gospel was disgracoful, aod he submtted that aoy attempt to prevent the propagation of the (ruth of religion through the length and breadth of the land was @ conspiracy against Pro~ testantism itself, fact, to confine the their own churches. On the wholg, therefore, ‘acting on the defensive. After @ reviow of ntertained by the Episcopal the reverend gentleman positi Church since the Refe went on to say that the views which they had over since supported and maintained their members were now forbidden to promulgate, Whenever 1 wished to propagate the views of the Epis copal Churen o ban was placed upon thom by ecclesiastical authority, The ministers could not preach the gospel beyond the territorial jurisdiction, No matter bow competent or high the character of the clergyman was he dares not infringe or claim terri- torial jurisdic.ion bimseif, ho dares not declare tho truth of the gospel of Ohrist, the principios of the Church—the ban was placed before him and he was arraigned on trial before ecclesiastical authorities, TPbis vory week a witness of an eociesiastical trial would bo hey a A young, preceptor of their Church = is week arralgned—a cane romney whom the of ‘lander coul taf ne voice among the faithful of Christ. Tho Mr. Smith then alluded m feeling and eloquent terms to the approaching trial of the Rev. Mr. Tyng, who, be said, was going to be arraigned for mereiy ing the gospel and laboring in the cause of rist. In conclusion he pointed out the great errors which he considered would arise from a sacerdotal in- fluence and the continued and oF ition which was now, unfortunately, being carried and which ‘would eventual; and im the Church.
