Wow& Om& sod Wen& LITERATUBZ The Miming Link : or Bible-women in the Homes of the London Poor. By L. N. R., Author of the " Book and its Story." Nisbet.. The connexion between the material and the moral and spiritual improvement of mankind is one of thole; truths which society is perpetually losing and redie covering. Just now there is, as tU reports of the recent congress at Bradford have shown us, a dispo sition to recognise this important fact, and the volume before us supplies a striking illustra tion of its reality. The movement or misriou, which has found so fitting and earnest an historian in the author of this work, has received the various names of " Marian's Mission," the "Female Bible Minims," and the "Chapel of the Scrubbing Brush." Weibull briefly sketch its remarkable and romantic, hat most gratifying beginnings and program, and Log may it be before we or any others may have to shronicle its end ! Wien on—so we prefer to call it—ccen lasated scarcely two years ago. It was suggested by a lady, who, walking through the streets of St. Giles's one midsummer afternoon thought itmipht be possible, by means of tamale agency of a description hitherto untried, to evangelise even the worst districts of this centre of the world's heathenism. The lady afdr inquiry found a suitable person to carry out her views—a respectable, plain, earnest, married woman of the poorest clue, herself a denizen for man than thirty pan of the purlieus of St. Giles's, anxious for such work, and whose common sense roved to be se strong as her piety. She had become in middle age, only five years before, under rather singular circumstances, a religious woman, and, like Loyola, had not to grow after her conversion. Her natural powers were already matured, and she began her work with all her strength. Marian commenced in the dens where policemen seldom can to penetrate, where the City Missionary scarcely ever steps, and where the ordinary " lady visits" would shudder to enter. But she appears to have had confidence in three things ; in her faith, in herself, and in her sex. Houses where sixteen persons would be found sleeping in one room, bands of costerniongers, thieves, " smashers," and of the utterly " fallen," she called at. Her sole in troduction was the Bible. Neither she nor her friend had the moral cowardice or the dishonesty to con anal that their first object was to get the people to bay and to read the Scriptures. No mere " tactics " were adopted to secure this first aim. It was kept distinct, pure, and simple, but after it was secured, other means of moral and physical elevation were suggested, without which it was rightly argued these people might perhaps buy the Bibles, but would not be likely to continua to read them. Christianity first, cookery mooed, and scrubbing-brushes cer tainly third, if not before cookery, but everywhere the thr“ together. It is doe to human nature to say that Marian was almost invariably received with respect. Some would say, " What use is it to come with the Bible here ? It is not for each as we are;" bat others would say, " Ab, let her come, I wish we were like her;" and, " Well, this cannot be for gain." Once she received very vile; usage, bat it resulted in securing her some se her best friends. Her dauntless and zealous spirit same to have been unconscious of physical fear. We will quote • pimp from this book which admirably Iftentss bar method of proceeding, her temper, sail bar sasses : *Da arse ay that ear," said s City missionary, who trt br as bar way fa Church-lane ; " the woman who lives there Is not a wawa. &s in • fired ; ft tars four men to awry her bar area sba is drone." " It at to soak r her I go," said the visitor, and pared — When she arrived et the stair bed she heard the voice of a fury, and, tapping st the door, immediately entered. The Bores wawa, a thever's wife, standing 'ix feet bight wes accustomed to keep her neitehbonre at a distant*, and stared is amessmag at Hernia. A boy of nine years old stood in the earner naked • hie mother hod just beim beating him, dor tatting his old trousers to ribbons, in smolt of a sus pense white she add he had stolen, having modeled it for soona erasing. " Do not beat him say more," maid Harlan, " I daresay be will remember this; but what will you do with his trousers? He cannot put them on spin ;" and, turning to the child, she added, "a lady gam me a pair of trousers this morning, but they were for • good boy, ill toned him; could you pro mise keep back the money any more Gorr your mo her, if I brought them to you ? " The offer wt* so timely, find the voice of kindness so un mask in that apartment, that it melted the child, and even leeched the mother. An influence began from that day alike over mother and children. This woman had been very violent to Marian in the first week of her new vocation, threatening "to tremolo her to pieces if she came ranting into her court." She now, however, began to suacribe for a Bible, to dress herself &coolly, and with her two children to be found in the gallery of the church of old St. Oileres—the church In which she wee married, bet bad never since set foot. . . . fibs became one of the "Bible woman's" protectors in the notaiour Church•lans. So, chiefly by penny subscriptions, Marian sold her Bibles, and, in the first fourteen weeks, amongst the lowest outcasts of society, bad sold 174 copies. Subscribers being secured and acquaintances made, it was determined "to do something to place these people in a condition to profit by the book which they were willing to buy," so Marian asked permission to invite some of her new friends to a tea party. Bight women came, and, considering from whence they came, we don't wonder at their declaring that"they had never spent such a pleasant evening in their lives," although three of them were obliged to bring .• their babies." They were drawn from the hare and rabbit akin, watercress, fruit, fish, and flower-selling clime of society. Another step was taken. The small capital for stock was at first invested entirely in Bibles; a pur chase of saucepans and dishes was now decided upon, and at the end of about twenty weeks from first commencing her miseion, Marian reports that the saucepans and dishes, which had been lent to sixteen persons, were serving forty families, who had all bought (price a halfpenny) the printed receipt for six quarts of soup for el:pence. This soup was in tended to supersede gin, for, mays Marion's friend, whom it is not difficult to identify with the writer of this book, " I believe that soup-making for them wives would alone came a reformation in St. Giles'., because the nourishment it would give would prevent the constant craving for stimulants, at which one scarcely wooden, amid the foul smells abounding and the perpetual weakening of digestion by the hot cup of tea ; and you cannot hope to raise them to think over the message from God which you have carried to them till some check is placed on their consumption of that which ruins both body and soul." The idea proved to be a right one, and from one of their own station, who bad herself known the lowest depths of poverty, the advice and smistance were gladly received. " I am sure I never thought of this before," said one. " We are willing to be taught if you will teach us." was the common expression. And they were willing, in other ways. They were encouraged in a desire for decent cloth ing. and, by being allowed to pay for it in small sums, and shown the way to work, were glad to east off the rags in which they had hitherto lived. The brush followed the needle. Floors that had not been scrubbed for a quarter of a century Marian washed, and told the wondering lookers-on to observe the change. If a poor woman was ill. Marian would "make her bed and right her room" for the night, wash her children for her, end "show how bright their clean faces might he made," and would take advantage of such a golden opportunity to interest her to "get clothes for them fit to go to school." Tbe result, with a feeling the farthest removed from pride, she herself reports as follows:—" I have quite enough already to e moorage me to persevere, and there is many a room where at first I found no furniture but an old table, with the tin beer cans upon it. and perhaps a pack of cards, with two or three old bm bets turned upside down for beats, and naked chil dren sprawling round, that now begins to look very different. It bass mime something good about them that, when they are told I have a manage from God to them, so many are not unwilling to hear it. As I read a few verses to them sometimes the words seem to drop like healing balm upon their sorrows, poor things! Ira they alma all say that their ECCLUTASTICAL Colutiottosriut.

One learns to do so from another, and I believe it depends very much upon the women to alter it. They are certainly most thankful for a little kindness." The reader will observe that there is no reference to beds in the first orntesos. Bede, indeed, there were few, se there are few now is Bt. Giles's. Happy the man or WOO= who can commend six feet of soft board, or failing that, an undisturbed seat on a doorstep ! Beds, however, it was determined to introduce. The luxury does not seem to have entered even into Harian's imagination : it wee the sugges tion of a medical gentleman, who had been accus tomed to visit amongst the poor and bad observed their great suffering from cold. Beds, therefore, at six shillings each, were at once bought. Hers are Marian'. own reflections on the result: Timm is hope for the hopeless, if their attention should be ant wound by BOON one they knew coatis( to dim with God's book. I should never &emir of soy people after what I have sum is Bt. Odes's. The lowest pose have come to be what they en by the mistake of stapposieg that Wei Mgt toe bad .to be rosarisd.

I hive brought U. 16s. this reetung, en b encemes, paid for bole only. I might have had more them ea much men, bet Intro already takes 180 same, and am now come to ask if indeed mother fifty beds ma be promised before more names are taken. One women said, as the money was babe paid, " Nineteen out of twenty of them =miser would have gene is gia;" to which many around responded, "Ay, that they would." Greater cleanliness followed beds. "We cannot find it in oar hearts to pat oar children to sleep co the rage we had before,'' said the women, and half • dozen out of the first hundred bed purchasers wen even ambitious enough to think of buying bedsteads. Bible selling oontinned all this time, and at the end of the first twelve months Marian had sold 1,004 copies of the Scriptures by peony subscriptions, "each penny called for once, twice, end sometimes thrice, by the patient and earnest native agent, chosen from amongst themselves." finch was this brays, poor woman's work, and each is it still—teaching, purifying, sad elevating to divinest sympathies hundreds who, before her friend walked on that summer afternoon through Bt. Giles's, had as little prospect of being raised to such a position u the " brutes that perish." It may be imagined that such ;moms as Marian's has induced those who have guided this remarkable movement to extend the number of the new order of female missionaries. With peat wisdom, very slowly and cautiously they have done so. We say with wisdom, because it is obvious that the income of such a mission, depending entirely as it does upon the Steams of the female chosen to this peculiar work, would be entirely missed if • wrong agent were selected. All pious women will not succeed; all strong-minded, common-sense, and hardworking women will not succeed; nor will all uneducated women (the missionary in this field must be, to a certain extent, uneducated), but a few have been found whocombine in right proportions these various qualities, and they are now at work in all parts of London for three, four, and sometimes six and eight hours a day, selling Bibles, making soup, washing clothes, and ministering in all things unto the life that now is and to the life that is to come. They and are to be found in the dietricts of Paddington Spitelfields, in Cray's-ion-lane and Rate-liff-high way, in Dru7-lame and the New Cut, in Smith field, Shoreditob, and many similar localities. The history of their labours is another history of Marian's mission. Some tell them that they want "bread, not Bibles," and some Cane both then sad their books; bat the majority express great thankfulness for the help that is offered. " Martha," of Paddington, ws are told, said some thing to one woman, in a deplorable court, about the plan of collecting their pence for any garment they requfred ; and the woman immediately answered, " What a good thing that will be for us." Where upon Martha, fancying that she might be anticipating some bonus, said, " But you know, mistress, you'll have to pay for what you receive, and to help to make it, too ;" to which the woman answered, "Ah, that will be better still, for 'twill be teaching us to help ourselves." We meet with a Mill more characteristic incident than this in the labours of the Bible-woman in Clerkanwell: An old men, who became a Bible subscriber from the coo mencement of the mis•ion, explained, as he procured Bret one shiUlag Bible and then &molter, that he wished to give away with hie own hand. S,metimes he paid a halfpenny, some times spray, sometimes more, till he had purchased no less than three sad was subeoribing for • fourth ; when, one day, being very ill with severe rheumatism ' he was compelled to bid the Bible-woman enter his room, for the trot time, end to her surprise she found only tokens of extreme penury and personal want. He had always pet his card and mousy out at the door, and had paid so regularly, that she Mile thought to see a room se =kept, and with nothing for • bed but some seek in the corner. BIN asked him how be had been able to give to ethos, if himself so bate of neoessaries. He said "he liked to give to God, and the small sum he had spared would not have made much differ sue to him." A touching and delicate incident, very true to human nature, and one which must have been ex quisitely gratifying to those who have the charge of these missions, occurred recently in St. Gile►'s. A midsummerpts was given to some of Marian's new friends and subscribers. Many flower-girls were of the number, who, as a voluntary contribution, brought of their flowers to decorate the feast. With this offering, we are told, as a product of the spon taneous gratitude of the Seven-dials, were presented half-a-dozen bouquets which might have been the envy of Covent-garden, and which were " for the ladies who had been so kind." " When," says the writer of this book, "one thought of Chun:b lame, and Marian told us these had been made there, and that no one would say who had made them— " it was the offering of all "—" our hearts were indeed touched." This " touch of nature " links the hearts of the women of St. Giles's to every beating and throbbing heart of the world. The " Missing Link" supplies a new chapter in the history not only of Christianity, but of civilisa tion. It has an interest to the philanthropist as well as to the believer. Reaching farther down in the social strata than wash-houses or ragged schools, this woman's mission promises to prove far more success ful than either of those in promoting the spiritual and physical regeneration of lost humanity. It has sunk a shaft into the lowest stratum, and has brought from it waters pure and deer as crystal, which, directed into their lost channels, are now flowing and sparkling up to their supreme and natural source. The secret of the success of this singular mission lies in its COW/Cit:le or unconscious adherence to the law of human affinities. It is not every loadstone that will draw, and there are many chemicals that are powerless exeept when in combination with certain other,. There are laws in the spiritual world as inflexible as any to be found in the physical. By a happy adherence to one of these, Marian's mission has succeeded where all the alchemy of Poseyism and all the mere perfunctoriness of many other isms had utterly failed. We only hope that it will be allowed to continue to work in its own way ; that it will not, now that it is being made public, be interfered with ; that it will not become fashionable—and, above all, that it will not become wealthy. The last two rooks have been the Scylla and Charybdis on which missy a true mission—such se the Ragged School miasices— has been wrecked. We think this will be the hope of every healthy minded religious person who may read of the discovery of the " Missing Link." The book treats of the heathen of St. Giles's, instead of the heathen of Madagascar and Mokololo, or it would receive a wider circulation, and create a more vivid interest, than the travels even of an Ellis and a Livingstone.

The vessel will be moored by the bow, two anchors being an the poet, sad two on the starboard side.

The Channel at this plass has a depth of water suffident to lime the great ship, and is upwards at 709 yards in width.

CRYSTAL PALACE. Yesterday's festivities at the Crystal Palms were consecrated to the annivensry of Balaclava, and were, of coarse, chiefly of a lathery character. It we. no fault of Jo Crystal Palau Conesary that the Russians should have chosen the 46th of October tor the stack which was defeated by the immortal charges of oar light and bevy cavalry, or elms perhaps a period of the neon might have bean Masud more suitable for out-door amusements; but, as it was, every possible use woe merle of the wintry gloom, and such spirts Ala had been Intended to coon oil in the gardens were enacted a the central transept. There were a good many soldier■ preset, chitin belonging to the different regiments of Foot Guards, but the attendance of civilians was nth./ minty. The °needier., Coldstream, Scots Fusilier., and Artillery were well repreeenied, many of the *oldies being profosely decorated with Crimean and Indira iodala, and all evidently bent on enjoying the holiday which had been prepared for them. The ejecta futures of the day were the wrestling in the transept and the belles ascent by Mr. Co=wed. In the first, Private Tyson, tat Battalion Soots Fusilier Guards, was the succeasfel ethles, throwing every successive opponent with seemingly increasiag facility, and duly retiring at the and to spend his winnings with the men whom he had defwtsd, aceording to the good old Cumbeland custom.

The distribution of the title of Associate of Arta, and the certificates te the junior candidate. who had success• fully passed the recent examination of the above university at Birmingham, took place yesterday (Tuesday), in the Theatre of the Midland Institute. The Rey. Dr. Terri.; lived Master of Ruby School, presided. The Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, M.P., Rev. Dr. Miller, Rev. R. H. Gifford, sad the Rev. Dr. Bedroll were also present. Ice the course of his Welter, Dr. Temple said he had recently hid the opportunity of ;ccespariag the results of the examinstione of thu and the previous year, and he ford that though the number was not so great the work done was decidedly better than in the previous year, particularly in the preli minary examination. On the whole, the work was very fairly done, and in no instance was there I say aeoreity for lowering the standard of the first ekes. The avenge work in most of the tires was rather higher than last year, except in mathematics. Far each fiectarione they must be prepared. There would be cue year • pretty good show, and the other would net be so geed. The object of the university In conferring the title of Associate of Arts upon the moire was, at it were, to bold eat the right head of fellowship to all who showed they appreciated the value of leering. To all ouch, however educated, or from whatever err of society they might spring, if they showed they were in possession of sound, solid attainments, the University a Oxford held out the right-hand of fellowship to acknowledge them as brethren In the great republic of learning. Younger brethren had yet • great deal more to learn if they wished to rank higher in that great republic. The ob. jact of the examination wee to 'ordain it the attainments of the candidates were thoroughly reel, and to discourage anything like superficial study. It might happen thet some of those who pared the examinatino might afterwards fall off is coneugmenc• of not making use of the powers they possessed, end such might thus bring some small disgrace upon the tide they beer, but the Uni rer.ity of Oxford believed that tree who had r far does well would weir in unfurl- I leg the title they had received, and in showing that the edu cation they hod received had 'IA been thrown away. Dr. Temple afterwards presented the prizes and certificates to the succeseful pupils. Of the number receiving the A.A. de gree the larger portion fell to the Proprietary School at Bir mingham, conducted by Dr. &drum. On Saturday evening, Mr. Adam Blaek, M.P., delivered a lecture on " Wages, Trade.' Unions, and Strikes," in Danedia-ball. Edinburgh. The hall was crowded in every pot, upwards of 2,000 persona being present. Among the gentlemen who accompanied Mr. Black to the platform were the Right Hon. Sir John Melville. the Lord Provoet.

Tee deaths in lea weak ware 940 ; a number which is nearly the same as that of the previous week, but which is less (if al lowance is made for increase of population) by about 200 than the average number of deaths that occurred in the third week of October to the ten yeas 1849.68. The mean temperature of the air last week was 10 degrees lower than that of the former half of the present month ; but the remarkable depression of temperature that was ex perienced Ism week occurred on Friday and Saturday, and wee too tate to affect mach the prevent returns of mortality.
