MEMORIAL CHURCH AT COASTANTINOPLE.

We have already stated that it is proposed to erect
a monument to the gallant men wlo base fallen in the ser-
vice of their country, in the term of a Memorial Church, at
Constantinople—a church which, while adapted is the
solemn worship of Altair:el God according to the Erglish
ritual, shalt, by its architectural style 1.1.1 characer r, be
worthy of the people who have raised at, and of the dead
whose memory it is designed to perpetuate. For this pur-
pose a site of ample getout has already been greeted by the
liberality of the Satan. The committee for carrying out
this ptoje..t now appeal to a grateful people to do their
part. Ina prospectus signed by A laurel Lynne, Ci 1 ‘oel
Chapman, ME., the Rev. G. R. Gleig, and the Rer.
Hawkins, they say :
It (the appeal) will be fel and acknonl.dged at risco
by the companions in arms of those who have fallen, whether
in the field or on the deck. No soldier or seaman viol 'stow to
raise the recording stone' to a fen, a comrade. Tee many,
alas! who have lost dear friends or kiasmen in the war will
readily and thankfully avail themselves of the
to honour their memory, by a fitting ezpreriou of smog
sod affection. A still larger cite,, learning teat the m. mo-
rial is not to be a mere monumental struc-ore, bet • Christ-
ian Church, will regard it as the worthiest I h .nk-off.rir g to
'Almighty God for the preservation of a father, husband,
son, or brother, from the sword or the pestilence, and for the
restoration of peace to the world. All Chririene alike may
fairly be called upon to lend a heed to the erection and en-
dowment of a eburch which, if God favour the der go, may
be the means of briruziug under pastoral care and toot rim-
Madame a considerable number of our ce unt• y men fe r whom

FORTUNATE EeCAFE OF A OIRL.—On Wednesday,
at the Liverpool Police Court, two women were charged
with haviog pledged some clothes, the property of en in-
temsting•looking Scotch girl named Elizabeth Ni shirt. The
girl, who resided with her father at a place near Greenock,
was a dressmaker. Bbe took • notion into her heed to come
to Liverpool to look for work, and left home without her
fatber knowing it. As ate It ft the steamer, she was so-
canted by one of the prisoners, who is also a Se 4th girl, end,
in the course of eon 00000 tion, the new comer said she was
dressmaker sad wanted work. The prisoner told her she
would get her plenty of cork. and well paid for, too, and
took her t 3 the house of the other prisoner, where she slept
that night, not suspectieg anything wrong. The next
morning a man entered the room and made improper over-
ture, to her, which she resisted, and began to crr. The
man sealer( this d • 0000 sad told her the art of place she
was in, and advised her to get out if she could. The defen-
dant then pledged 113111 e of the gir.'s clothes, and would not
I allow her out in the streets without accompanying her.
She got out, however, and told a rheum, who informed
Mr. Clough of the subject, and that gentleman, very pro-
perly, had the parties arrested on the charge of pledging
the clothes. Mr. Mansfield expressed a hope that the
gentlemen of the press would give the ease the utmost
publicity; he hid so doubt that thousands of poor girls
were trapped from various parts of the kingdom, under pre-
tence of getting employment. It was a great pity that the
legislature had net turned its attention to this tort of traffic,
which plight to be punished more st rarely than the worst
kind of robbery. He directed Mr. Cloogh to send the girl
safe bock to her father, sad ordered the prisoners to be im-
