The following delineation Of the Sea-
mems Preacher and Friend, will un-
doubtedly be interesting to such of your
readers as had the happiness to hear
him in this town Sunday before last,
and to all who partook of the sensation
which his presence and his preaching
produced among us. When shall we
forget that honest. hearty, Christian
man He is man and Christian
To use the words which he himself SO
often uses in speaking of others, he has
real round soul, no mere shell Of a
soul, none of your Min-edged souls, but
whole, complete and generous soul.
II may not be generally known amongst
us, that he is Virgininn by birth, and
we were struck with something in his
look reminding us vividly of Patrick
Henry's portrait. Perhaps il was mere
y the spcctacles lifted up and resting
on the thought-iurrowed brow, more
probably it was that singular expression
of the eye, like the CLEAN of the new
risen sun above a grave cloud.
We shall not undertake to describe
Mr.. Taylor's mind and genius. Who
ever saw lightning or the rainbow rep
resented on paper Who ever saw a
picture Of thunder [? Who can forget
the winning sweetness of his common
dations and invitations, or the tremen-
dous energy of his rebuke Who can
forget the exquisite melody and finish
of some of his periods, and in the
midst too of the most rough and blunt
uttcrances of reason or fancy-periods
fully worthy of old Jeremy Taylor him
self? Who can forget his picture of
the manner in which Religion is laid
aside at fashionable asscmblies-carc-
fully laid in one corner as dim, sep
ulchral form, to be looked upon only in
the dead of the night by the dismal
glimmer Of an expiring lamp Or his
noble and stirring appeal against spiri-
tual slavery, when he asked Where
is that free man? Let mine eyes be-
hold him :" Or that generous and sub
lime and thrilling tribute to General
Sullivan. Or all those expressions Of
his sympathy for seamen and their
wives and widows and children-those
repeated appeals to captains and mates'
Who can forget that long and affection
ate farewell /?
Farewell "a word that makes us lnger"
said the poet, and Father Taylor las
the sailors call him) always finds it so.
Religion is an ocean without shores he
said on one occasion, and we feel that
he finds it hard to make landing.
We should be sorry for any who
could hear such man and not be i'm
pressed with sense Of the reality ol
Religion without having their faith,
at least for the time, changed from a
dead word to living sensation. II
"the words of truth and soberncss''
have ever been spoken fourth since
Paul and his master preached them,
they find an utterance i'm this friend and
minister of the Seamcn.

Arrival Of the British q uecn
TEN DAYS LATER FROM

The Steam Packet British Queen arrived
at New York on Friday last, in IL days, hav-
ing left Portsmouth Sept I'd, and bringing
London files TO that date inclusive. She has
200 passengers.
The aspect Of affairs has not materially
changed since our last former advices.-
Money continued scarce, and in consequent
thereof, Cotton had fallen one eighth of a
farth:ng, and the stocks were still depressed
On the other hand, the crops of the southern
portion of England had been harvested and
proved abundant, and those Of the Northern
section and Of Scotland and Ireland, though
not ripe, promised to be very abundant should
the weather prove favorable. AS the month
Of September in this country has been unusu-
ally warm and mild, the probability is that it
has been equally so on the other side of the
water. We may then augur favorable ac-
counts by the next arrivals. Such was the
prospect, that wheat had fallen 2 shilings q
quarter.
Parliament was prorogued by the Queen
on the 9th Of August, and some changes in
the Ministry had taken place.
The workmen had reached low water mark
on The Surrey side of the Thames Tunnel.
The TOrRNAMENT.--The Passage at Arms
at Eginton Castle, did not take place on the
29th Of August, according to appointment, in
consequence ofa driving rain Storm For
the same reason there was no tilling on the
Both. All was in readiness, however, and
the array Of chvalry assembled is gorgeous
ly described.
II is expected that the Thames Tunnel will
be open for passengers towards the end of
next year.
SPAIN.
From Madrid, direct, August 23d, it is
stated that the Queen was n high spirits at
the prospect Of the termination of the civil
war.
GLOBE OFFICE, Monday Evening

The arrival of Saturdays mail from Paris

from the scat of war in Spain. Gen. Maroto

SURRENDER OF DON CARLOS.

We can only call the attention of our
readers to the rumor which will be found
effect that Don Carlos has surrendered to
Espartero, end that Maroto has joined his
forces to those of his legitimate sovereign,
the Queen of SPAN. Another rumor current
is that Don Carlos has surrendered to Lord
John Hay, and claimed the protection of the
British flag. IN either case the war in Spain
is necessarily at an end.

to the afflicted, and at once soothes the excru-
ciating pain caused by inflammation, frequent
ly attending on corns. 1t effects cure in a

corn by cutting or caustlc.
The proprietor has frequently applied the

The formula for this preparation of medi-

Chapman, NJ. D professor of the institutes and
practice of medicine in the University ofPenn-

The Cough Mixture has been in use several
years, and its success is so much greater than
any other article in the market that we do not
hesitate to recommend IT as the most efficacious
medicine orcoughs and affections ofthe lungs
generally, now in use.
It is proper to add that the Cough Mixture
doesanot contain opium in any form whatever,
which is productive of bad effects by continued
use, and too often constitutes the basis of the
popular cough preparations Of the day.
The number of does each bottle contains is
double to that of any other article offered to the

purchaser than any other medicine now in use.

have been changed from the former prlces.-
This course the Trustees have been Obliged to
adopt. They have employed competent and

The rates which are now established, both
