- frowning over his head, ‘‘Bring me no more NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JULY 9. 187i-TRIPLE SHHKT., eae NE Ee take-up-the subject and furnish our readers, through the Hgraup reporters, some excel- lent remarks upon it. The Protestant Churchman, edited by John Cotton Smith, is a finely printed sheet, or, rather, a series of sheets, of fourteen pages. The editor gives a noticeable article upon the “Education of the Future’—a very fruitful theme for the excercise of other able pens. The Methodist alludes to the progress of Methodism in the cities, and, glancing at the dinner of city Methodists recently held in an uptown fashionable hotel, at which Bishop Janes, Rev. Messrs. Ferris and McCabe, Mr. Orange Judd and others were present, rejoices in announcing that the sum of twenty thou- sand dollars was realized for the good cause, What does that compare to the munificent sum. of seven millions realized for the ‘‘good cause” by our Presbyterian brethren? The Methodists must prick up and open their purses, The Liberal Christian shows that its editor, the Rev. Dr. Bellows, remembers such posi-~ tive and learned men as the late Horace Mann, and gives a glowing account of An- tioch College, to which institution, seventeen years ago, Horace Mann made his firat visit. The institution is not quite so successful as it might be, but everything is hopeful. As an evidence of hopefulness we quote the follow- ing passage from Dr. Bellows’ elaborate arti- ole :— The debt of every year ta always paid before another year is entered on, and the endowment fund is never touched. Thus bas worked well thus lar, Of course, what 18 wanted ts to increase the endow- ment fund, say $50,000, which would make Antioch truly self-supporting and save its friends from the necessity of thelr sturdy beggary from year to year. One great step toward this was adopted at the late meeting, and that is a resolution Lo raise the $26,000 necessafy to endow the T, Starr King professorship ing ago devised in honor of that brilliant friend and example of religion and culture. It 1s believed that trom $6,000 to $10,000 cun, by energetic steps, be raised towards thi monument in California and the rest in New England and New York. It will serve two objects—to commemorate the noble and princely King and endow the college to the amount Of the professorship. Henry Ward Beecher dips his brilliant pen into editorial ink and gives us in the Christian Union this week an excellent article on the “American Gospel,” taking our recent na- tional anniversary as his text. He concludes his views as follows:— We are full of hope for our country’s fature, be- canse we believe that genuine Christianity has @ deep hold on the nation’s heart. We believe that Chrisuanity in Americs is steadily growing purer in its own spirit and gaining wider control of the people. Our faith is strong that through its influ. ence our country will rise to nobler heights than she yet has trod, and more effectually than she has ut tered to the nations the gospel of liberty will pro- claim to them the whole Gospel of Christ. Our Roman Catholic contemporories com- miserate with the Pope; but, with one or two exceptions, gracefully accept the inevit- able situation. On the whole we must say that the ecclesi- astical situation in this country atthe close of the week, judging from the chronicles as we find them recorded in our religious exchanges, is eminently auspicious. Se fm allusion to this fact that Socrates remarks to Glaucus, ‘‘It amuses me to see how much afraid come are lest the common herd of people should accuse you of recommending useless studies.” People considering themselves learned, or at least claiming to be so, were afraid then, as their posterity are now, of being called ‘old fogies” for recommending any studies not likely to pay in hard cash, or its equivalent, as if human happiness, that for which we all toil, though in so many different ways, con- sisted in nothing which is not material and earthy. It is as well to admit honestly that as long as such notions are entertained, as they unhap- pily are by a large proportion, if not the majority, pf our educators, we must not be surprised at any amount of noise made at our commencements. Indeed, from present appearances, horn-blowing is much more likely to increase for some time to come than to diminish ; the river must grow deep before we can expect it to be calm and unrufiled at its surface. In short our educators must learn to reason somewhat like those old heathens who they tell us, knew nothing about science, before we can expect our colleges to attain any very high rank either in letters, science or the arts. But we shall not present them such difficult models as the philosophera. Even those called tyrants and usurpers teach lessons by which the most learned of our college facul- ties might profit, Thus, for example, Alex- ander, who knew sufficient science to conquer the world, writes to Aristotle, his tutor, telling him that he esteemed it nobler to excel other men in learning aad knowledge than in power and empire, The conqueror also assured the philosopher that the only warrior whom he envied was Achilles, and his only reason for envying Achilles was that he had so excellent a recorder of his exploits as Homer. Upon the whole, however, we should prefer the Pythagoreans as models—at least until our ‘professors learn to make less noise at their commencements and to deliver fewer eulogies oy themselves and on those of their friends, by whom they expect to be repaid in kind. Review of the Religious Press—Religious Interview with Judge Hilton. Our religious contemporaries have been more political than evangelical the past week. The Hvangelist has a three column editorial upon the actions of the city government, and asks in preface, ‘‘Are we going to the dogs?” We are inclined to think from the tenor of the article of our Presbyterian contemporary that we are not going to the dogs nor to the rats, inasmuch as the writer of the article in the Fangelist seems to have had an interview with Judge Hilton and appears to be satisfled that everything is all right. The Hvangelist wriler concludes with the following résumé of his sober talk with Judge Hilton :— Soverly. is it not time to Rave done with this “slam-bang” style Of speaking and writing about ofr city government? Possivly tt may have dene some goud by shaming bad men. The whtp of scorn may have lashed them into decency. Bul is not the thing overdone, Wedo not object to any fair censure, but abuse that 18 poured out like water day by day, (nat never ceases, that is never qualified by one word of praise, must be extravagant aud be rompted by party bitterness rather than a@ desire for the public good. Of course nobody pretends that our local govern- ment all that it might be. Here isa city of a multion of inhabitants, and of great wealth, A revenue like that of a State 1s to be collected and distributed every year. This is a vast prize to tempt the cupidity of all sorts of piunderers, Of course ail ihe idle and shiftiess pothouse **politicians'—loat- ers that are too lazy to work for a living—will try to become hangers-on of the city treasury. It 1s so an Washington, as well as in New York, and ii ts so jn London and in Paris, Corruption and specula- tion are the foul birds of prey that hover around every tich government. “Where the carcass is there wili_the eagles be gathered together.” But that New York is worse than any other city under the stn; that it has a monopoly of corruption; that our Kinners are greater than other sinners, we do ot believe, and not believing, we do not mean to say 80, but the contrary; tor this constant im- ete oi wrong tends t produce the very evii at aa denounced. Among tne causes that have bred corruption among us not the least has been the reckless and undiscriminating abuse of city om. ciais. It does not take much kuowledge of human mature to teach us that todenounce 4 man asa criminal, and to treat him as such, is the surest way ‘to make him one. And we modestly suggest that if ‘the good citizens of this city, men of property, of in- telligence and of character, instead of standing of and “cursing” the city government, would take hold ‘with the best of all parties and try to secure an hon- est administration, we might have a government of which any citizen need not be ashamed, but might justly be proud. Who can assert after reading the above that the government of the city of New York is in the hands of the so-called Irish Catholics ? ‘The Presbyterians seem to have as much in- fluence in the dispensation of official patronage as the Catholics, We might ask who cares who has the influence so long as we have a good, sound, economical and efficient munici- pal administration? ! The Independent characterizes its name by exhibiting an illustration, presumed to be patriotic and pertinent to the Fourth of July, in which the figure of Washington appears with arm extended and fingers expanded, as if he were saying to the Goddess of Liberty Winter on Mount Washington. About a year ago it was announced that Professor Hitchcock, the State Geologist of New Hampshire, and Mr. J, H. Huntington, a graduate of Amherst College, the leading insti- tution in this country in geological science, would winter on Mount Washington for the purpose of making scientific observations. Mount Washington is a very desirable place for one wishing to escape the summer heat and williag to. forego the pleasures of the watering places; but in winter, with the ther- mometer fifty-nine degrees below zero, it is not altogether ¢he best site for a pleasant home. The climate is as rigorous as that of Central Greenland, and animal and vegetable life cor- responds with that of Labrador and of regions to the north of Labrador. The clouds which blow over the summit are often charged with frost to an extent which makes breathing the air very unpleasant, and from the effects of which a full inhalation brings on a fit of coughing. Severe storms are frequent and the wind travels with a velocity so great that Professor Hitchcock on one occasion found it necessary to sit with a line round him in order to keep hia position while using the anemome- ter. From the beginning of November to the close of January there was not a single clear day, and in the next three months only one clear day ineach month, No gloomier and no more dangerous existence could be expe- rienced even in the Arctic regions, death from the cold or the tornado being possible every moment, The party was composed of six persons, one of whom was a member of the United States Signal Service, and two photographers. They lived together in a room twenty feet long, eleven feet wide and eight feet high; but small as it was it was difficult, owing to the intense coldness of the Arctic climate, to keep it warm, Iu spite of many discomforts and disadvantages the party remained throughout the winter, doing their work manfully amid dangers and sufferings and gaining much valuable scientific information. But it scarcely needed demonstration to show that the Tip- ‘Top is a better place in summer than in winter weather, of that stale lager!” Another caricature in the ‘same burlesque sheet shows where the figure ‘of the Goddess of Liberty is holding a tallow ‘candle to light the way of a babe to a crippled algger’s bedroom. 7 Papers like the Independent, portraying caricatures like those mentioned above, should not be received into respectable families, Retter, if the morals of a family are to be taken into consideration, receive the flash and bawdy papers of the day than the monthly illustrated Independent. The Independent has occasionally a well written editorial. The text of one of its chief editorials this week is ‘‘Soap.” That was what the losers at Long Branch races wanted the other day. “Soap” did not have a pulpit nora fool there that day, but he preached well and cleansed the sinners clean, Soberly, as our friend of the Hoangelist says, there is much need of a good style of ‘stated preach- ing” at Long Branch and vicinity, just as they used to havo it at Sandy Lake, near Albany, with the original Ben Butler as chief priest and Prince John Van Buren as acolothist, 1¢ is stated, but we do not vouch for the truth of the statement, that the President of the United States has to take his beautiful wherry and go off shore to exercise his Sabbath devotions aud perform his diurnal ablutions, Theodore ‘Tilton wants to know, through the Golden Age, “Who Made the Treaty?” aod again he observes, in an adjoining article, ‘What to Do with It.” The subjects do not really bear positive connection, but as the firsi inquiry relates to the treaty recently concluded between the United States and Great Britain, we can hardly say what to do with it in a religious point of view, inaamuch va it is not a treaty between Heaven and man- Wd.

The Lake Shore and Southern Michigan Railroad yesterday endeavored to induce Commissioner Pleasonton to suspend the collection of the assessment upon interest falling due and dividends declared by the com- pany for the first five months of the present year, amounting to $122,231, until the ques- tion of the lability of such tax can be legally decided. The Commissioner, however, refused to accede to the company's request, and the payment of the tax will be accordingly enforced.

HOLLAND. New Guinea Sold to England. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Tue Haaus, July 7, 1871. The Second Chamber of the Parliament of the Netherlands has ratified the treaty for the cession of the isiand of New Guinea, in the Paciflc Ocean, to England. DESCRIPTION OF NEW GUINEA, Climate, Tuhabitants, Natural Wealth and History of the Dutch Settlements. New Guinea or Papua is, next to Australia, the largest island in the Pactflc Ocean. It lies between latitude 0 15 ana 10 degrees south and longitude 131 20 and 149 20 east. The length of the tsland ts 1,200 mules and its area 200,000 square miles. It ts only divided from Australia by two smail stratts— the Straits of Endeavor and Torres, The latter is eighty miles broad, On the northeast it tt boundea by the Pacific Ocean. On the east of New Guinea 1s Dampier Strait, by which it 1s divided from New Britain, and on the west are Ceram and the other islands ot the Molucca Sea, The island 1s vatuable to England from its close proximity to the Australian possessions. But little is known of the whole island. The Dutch settlements are confined to a few places on the coast. White men have not penetrated yet as faras the interior. The whole northern pe- ninsula of the island is rugged and mountainous, and the coasts are in many places indented with small bays. The clivate of New Guinea is warm and moist, with a rainy season which lasts from March to Uc- tober. The island 1s covered with luxurious forests, It has many vegétable products, and is, on tne whole, described to be a rich ’ and magnificent country, The hog 1s the only large mainmiferous animal found in New Guinca. There is alsoan abundance of fish on the coast. The in- habitants belong to the race of negrilloes or Oriental negroes; they are called Papuan negroes, and are geuerally of the middie height—in fact they resemble very much the pure-blooded specimen of the American fifteenth amendment. . The inhabitants of the west coust are to @ certain extent (to a very small extent) civilized, but those of the east coast are a barbarous set altogether, with the nearest pos- sible approach to cannibalism. The population of New Guinea 1s small; but the Dutch having never gone to the trouble of taking a census there 18 no means of forming a correct estimate of their num- ber. The invabitants are divided and speak difter- ent languages. Being so few, there is a good pros- Dect of their becoming alvogether extinct, as they are continually engaged in the laudable occupation of cutting one another's throats to an unlimited extent. The island was discovered in vhe early rt of the sixteerfth Cetbiee ft by the Portuguese. they named it New Guinea from the striking re- semblance between its inhabitants and those of Guinea in Africa. The Dutch were tne first to attempt to form a settlement in New Guinea. Their first attempt at military occupation of the island was in 1828, when they erected a fort, which they soon abandoned on account of the unhealthy ciimate. A number of Ruropean and Mohammedan traders have since formed 4 settlement calicd Dorcy in the northern part of the tsland. ‘The value of the trade with Holland is estimated at $600,000 and the population of the Dutch settlements on the coast numbers about 100,000. The rivers of New Guinea are unknown, the mouths of a few having only been seen, but from many indications it is tu- ferred that there must exist some large SPAIN, Marshal Serrano Threatens Resignation—Pros- pective Formation of a New Ministry Under the Presidency of Olozaga, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. MapRID, July 8, 1871, It is announced that Marshal Serrano will resign the presidency of the Council of Ministers in case the budget should be rejected by the Cortes, His resignation would be followed by that of the whole Cabinet. The sitting of the Cortes to-day was very much animated, the republicans being particu- larly severe in their attacks on the budget and the Ministry. Should the government be defeated it is provable that M. Olozaga will be called to the presi. dency of the Cabinet, the members of which wil! belong to the party of progressists, The French Representative Residing in Rome. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
