CHURCH DISPLAYS AND DEBTs-The follow
ing is quotation from discourse by popular
Boston preacher, which was listened to by large
aud attentive audience, The subject is one not
altogether inappropriate to the times the tendency
of which is to run into architectural extravaganza
in temples of worship as well as private structures
" Nothing can be more foreign to the purposes of
a Christian temple than pompous display, whether
in architecture, music, or the preaching. Nothing
can be more inconsistent with It's right and real
uses than a wasteful or predigal extravaganza.
Nothing can be more contradictory to the Gospel,
for the proelaimng and diffusion Of which il pro-
fesses 20 be built, than degree Of costnees which
involves parish in burdensome and oppressive
liabilities, and incumbers them with church debt.
There are few heavier curses that can befan
society, from without at least, than lingering,
consuming, cankering, Misunderstanding debit
Such obligations are among the pestilent evils Of
the time. There are parishes scattered all over
the country that suffer hindrance and loss, in one
way and another, from this curse, and that are OBJ
sruced and put back by il in their endeavOrs to
complish all the generous md sacred objects of
religious assemblies. Some observation of the
mischiefs traeeable to that source, in various
places, has fixed upon me the liveliest impressions
Of their extent, and convinced me how seriously
they are to be dreaded, and how carefully 10 be
guarded against j remember to have heard some
where Of faint plea for church debts on the
ground that they benefit parish by inciting it to
eXerliOn and keeping il pOOr-a plea that seems as
strange it is shallow; for that must be faint
hearted, and langud, and stupid body indeed,
that calling itself Christian, needs such stimulus
to it's energies. Church debts find much more
legitimate offspring in discussions and alterations,
than in harmony and agreement. They have more
the effect of the apple OF discord than bond of
union. The apostle directs us plainly Owe no
man any thing, and lie applied the precept even
more strngenty to religious bodies than to indi-
ydtialsD

oUDINoT's GLoRY.-The London Daily News
has the following comments on the French exploits
around the walls Of Rome
The policy and the exploits Of feld-marshal Ou-
dinot--he can look to no less grade-are only to
be equalled by his bulletins. Nothing since Ger
vantes has been so ludicrous nothing since Attila
SO barbarous. To any one who has seen or taken
a ride round the old walls Of Rome, The Alteration
Of digging trenches, sinking parallels and making
regular approaches to them, must forcibly recall
the campaigns of Corporal Trim and my uncle
Toby in Flanders. In most places these walls are
Informed to resist the old classic batteTing rams,
but the idea of not only bringing cannon lobear
on the masonry Of Aurelian, but of undermining
theta by the art of Vauban, are acts OF absurdity
and big pretenee, TO be smothered by universal
laughter, but for the indignation they excite. From
The Porta Pia, all round to the river, near the

Rome might muster ever man this extent of totter

siege TO Rome is one of the monstrosities of III,
