THE ALLIES IN CHINA.

The Daily News insists that, having taken Pekin, we
have nothing further to threaten the old Emperor with,
or set up a new ORC whom we must then protect. IR
any case we shall have to come to a treaty, and trust
once more to Chinese faith. If we delay to one of these
things, Chinese Governors will start up on all hands.
The empire will be broken up, and we may have to deal
with half a dozen Emperors, and require as many separate
treaties.

the immediate departure of Francis 11. from

THE TRICENTENARY OP THE REFORMATION IN
SCOTLAND.—The tricentenary of the Protestant Refor-
mation in Scotland, was celebrated yesterday, in a
manner appropriate to so solemn and historic an event.
To commemorate this great national occurrence, than
which few more memorable or note-worthy incidents
emblazon the Scottish annals, an able, eloquent, and
impressive sermon was delivered in the United Presby-
terian church, Mount-pleasant, by the Rev. Williatrt
Graham, before a large and attentive congregation. The•
reverend gentleman having selected his text from the
Ist verse of the 44th Psalm, proceeded to say that the
great change from Popery to Protestantism in Scotland,
was characterised by many striking events. Scotland
was not so large a country as Germany, or France, or
England, but nevertheless its reformation was the most
thorough of all national reformations, and though it was
the latest in point of time, it was the foremost and most
thorough in point of sincerity. Such an event was an-
nually celebrated for the first time in 1660, again in
1760, and now in the present year in 1860. The
talented preacher gave an interesting account of the
early rise and Progress of the Protestant reformation in
England, Scotland, and the Continental countries. He
said there were three noble-minded and apAtolic men,
whose efforts tended very much to spread gospel truth and
disseminate the principles of the Reformation in Scotland.
These were Patrick Hamilton, Geo. IVishart, and John
Knox. The first-mentioned of this glorious triumvirate
was only 21 years of age when he sealed•his faith with
his blood on the scaffold. He was the first preacher and
the first martyr of the Evangelical truth in his native
land, to which he returned from Germany, where he
studied under the celebtated Zuingle, whose doctrines
he imbibed and preached when he set foot in Scotland,
especially the great dogma of complete justification
by faith through Jesus Christ. The writings and
preachings of Wishart also gave a stimulus to the
dissemination of the gospel amongst the people, whose
views with regard to the sacraments he corrected very
much ; while the greatest of the three, John Knox,
might be declared to be the Apostle of the Reformation
in Scotland. Returning from Geneva to his native land
in 1555, well nigh in the fifty-fifth year of his age,
with a clear and powerful intellect, and with a mind
fully formed, Knox was well enabled to grasp
the whole differences between the Church of Rome and
the spiritual light and liberty of the pure Church of
Christ. These three men, though differing in many
minor points, yet agreeing in the one grand fundamental
principle, that the effete and worn-out dogmas of Rome
were neither in keeping. with the progress of the age,
nor with the spirit of biblical truth, laid the foundation
of that grand and glorious superstructure of the Refor-
mation in Scotland, which it has ever been the pride
and boast of her people to beautify and adorn, and the
tricentenary of whose existence they had met that day
to commemorate. After reviewing, at great length, the
many phases and vicissitudes through which the Church
of Scotland had passed, from its cradle to the present
day, the preacher closed an excellent discourse with
the fervent hope that the people would still cherish,
revere, and hold with tenacious grasp, the faith once
delivered to their fathers, whose blood had been so often
shed, sooner than they should forsake the principles of
truth and religion which they were taught.
