a committee of the New School
P,s.bvserian Synod of New York and
New Jersey. which was in session al
Bloomfield, N. J., sfew days ago, made
an interesting report through the Rev.
Dr. Eddy, on, the following question:
aShaIl a minister of the Gospel perform
the marriage service for a person who
has been divorced for crime?" The
committee recommended the adoption
Of the following minute:
!. Whereas, the solemn contract OF
marriage is regarded as of divine insti.
,ntion. as well as made permanently
Binding 90 the statutes Of the State, the
State. while il may determine the maE-
ner in which it may be solemnized, so
as to secure civil immunities. has no
pover TO release from its moral liabili-
ties and obligations, except for two
causes specified in the Word of God.
2. Whereas, the Gospel declares ex-
pressly that no man shall put away bis
wife and marry another, except for the
cause Of fornication, we recognise this
principle, that the marriage bond can be
dissolved only by the incontinence oI
one Of the parties. tits on this Princi-
pie that the laws OF several Of the
States have made provision for the un-
conditional divorce Of the innocent par
ty, while the other is still held and rem
dered unable to form any subsequent
marriage relation.
3.9Whereas, an incontinent person
has no right to take advantage of his
own wrong-dolng. and has once violated
his marriage vows, and thus rendered
himself morally unfit to resume again
the responsibilities ofthe conjugal state.
both theIaws of Just and wise legislation,
as well as the constructive, if not ex-
press, laws of God, do not warrant US
TO become accessory to his assuming
anew the marriage relation.
,- The synod would, therefore, answer
the overture in the negative. A minis
ter OF the Gospel has no right to SOL
emnize the marriage of any person who
has once been divorced on the ground
Of his own wrong-doing.

sometimes heard it asked, twill IN
ventions never ceaseY' We think
not, although il almost seems that
the genius Of man had reached its
"uItima thule.n In a notice which
occupied place in our columns some
time ago, we incidentally spoke oi
the iron fences manufactured by Mr..
John Wickersham, Of New York
city. A trip, lev weeks ago, to a
section Of the country where they
are in use, and more recent visit TO
his factory TO crafty our curiosity
has induced US to speak more al
length OF this very useful invention,
The iron fences are suited for any
section Of the country, but where
wood or labor is scarce they mus
become Indispensable, for, once built
they serve not only efectually tC
secure the crops or whatever elst
they iacIose against the four-footeC
foragers, but will last lifetime. anc
in a few years save their origina
cost in extra crops raised on the lanc
usually required for the old-fashionec
rail fence. 1t would require more
than the combined sagacity. Of th'
whole kline species to unhitch Of
take down the wire bars--as wei
might they undertake to remove The
wires from the telegraph posts.-
The rapidity, too, with which they
can be put up is another great de

hance their value, especially in new

DESTRUCTION OF SHIP BY
iWHALE.-The following remarkable
case Of the prodigious powers OF
whale is related by gentleman who
has arrived in Boston from New
York, where he was in company
with Captain Deblois, the master oi
the unlucky ship, who arrived in that
city on Saturday afternoon in the
steamship Cherokee:
Capt. DebIois. OF the whaleship
Ann Alexander, of New Bedford,
stated that on the Doth Of August
last, when in the latitude 5 deg. SO
min. south, longitude l02 deg. west,
while in the pursuit OF whales, two
OF his boats that were out in pursuit.
were attacked by a large sperm
whale, and completely demolished.
The captain promptly ordered out a
third boat, and proceeded to the as
.sistance of the men, who were
thrown into the sea, by the destruc-
tion Of their boats. He succeeded
in .escuing all oil them, and reached
his ship in safety. But the whale be-
coming more frantic with rage, direc-
ted his course for the ship, and struck
her abreast oil her foremast, injuring
her SO badly that she instantly filled.
All hands took TO the boats on the
22d,s and were subsequently picked
up by the ship Nantucket. Capt.
Gibbs, Of Nantucket, and arrived at
Payta Sept. 18th, whence the Cap
tain took passage for New York, on
bis way home.
This. is certainly an extraordinary
instance Of the fearful capabilities OF
fhe whale, and we believe that the
like has occurred but once before,
which happened in the case Of a
Nantucket ship many years ago.

JOHN TYLER.-The Cincinnati Ga
zette says: "This somewhat notorious
citizen of the United States has address
sed sort of diplomatic note to Don
Calderon de la Barca, the Spanish Min
lister at Washington, in which his vanity
impels him, in violation of all proper
regard to propriety, political or social,
either in his present position as private
citizen, or his former accidental position
as President of the United States, to un-
dertake to volunteer his 'adUice' to the
Spanish Government in relation to the
treatment of the Cuban prisoners. He
says, among other things in the letter:
9 H.I have been urged by the friends
of some Of those unfortunate persons TO
intercede for their discharge, under the
hope entertained by them-a mistaken
one, it may be--that in view OF the
friendly relations which were assiduous-
1y cultivated with Spain during my Ad-
ministration of the United States Gov
ernment, she might be inclined TO listen
with some degree of favor, to my adUtee.
"The advice Mr.. Tyler gives may be
dictated by humanity, and be in itself
excellent As to that, we have nothing
to say at this time, but we ask, if the
history of the past furnishes parallel
to the ridiculous vanity which induced
the proffer Of this 'dduice' to a foreign
power, or to the vain glorious reference
in the note to the. friendly relations
which were assiduously cultivated with
Spain during my administration p
