4 NEW THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.

Correspondence Of The \. Y. Tribune.
CHIcA6o, Oct. }, 1854.
We have had Religious Convention also. Last
week there gathered here about hundred min
isters and members Of Congregational Churches from
the various States of the Northwest for the purpose
Of prosecuting the enterprise undertaken By SIN .uer
Convection held here last June, of establishing
theological School or College in this city. There
a great deal of interest AID enthusiasm msafestei
nv the members Of the Convention in the new
;ect and the Seminary has already begun to take
form ard substance. The bu ling occupied by the
Rush Medical College has been purchased for the use
OF the Seminary until larger ana more commodious
structure shall be erected. $50 600 have Also been
subseribed u this city to the funds Of the seminary
and there il good prospect OF corresponding ho-
eraty elsewhere in this general region. Ibls, we
think looks well for hard times and for portion Of
the country where money has never been supposed 10
be specially abundant.
But what most deserves mention s the fact that this
new school for the training of preachers based on
different plan from existing Institutions OF similar de-
sign. Instead of coopng up the students IN tneT
ouiet rooms in quiet village, remote from sSht
or sound of the busy world. il is proposed IN the new
Seminary 10 bring the students directly into THIS busy
center of life and activity, when they Will teei 'he eo
ard flow Of lifes swift and turbulent current, ana
where tie will see how temptation me cts men AMI
how they are to be fortified against the thronglnS
powers Of evil. And then, furthermore, Is propDsed
during several months OF each ear TO distribute inc
students about the country to live with acting ulnis-
tiers and learn the practice Of their profession just as
the prospective physician adds TO uses of lectures
on the theory of medicine the application OF that the
ory as seen in the daily round of practclng physl-
clan or surgeon. For one, il seemed to me that this
or something like il i the only rational way of fitting
men 10 be the religious instructors OF their fellow men
by mear of preaching. Our present style of preach.
ing is too far off from the practical wants of men and
too destitute of sympathy with them.
Ore other thing perhaps should be mentioned, and
that s that the new Seminary though made nscesss-
~ in part by the excusyeness of other denominations
OF Christians has been founded the most Liberal
basis in this respect the Convention having, by eS-
press vote Instructed s Directors to entertain any
propositions from other Christian bodies for CO.
operation in the proposed work of ministerial eiu-
cation, so far such propositions may be praetca-
be- The Seminary takes the name OF the "CAtcago
IHeoloeieai Seminary" Some wished its name TO
include the word CONGREGATIONAL, but this was re-
fused as savoring of the UNCONVENTIONAL eIcusveness
which lad been previously disavowed.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE REPUBLIC OF yENEZUELA-ITS PRO.
GRESS AND RESOURCES.

To d, Editor Of The ~ y. Tribya>
SIR: We have studied attentively the actual state
and probable future Of Nerezuela, and such stldy
hes produced a very decided and favorable impress
sion toward that important section Of South America
Its fertile coil and mild climate i,s many nsvgable
rivers ts rich mines, the good character Of is inhab
tants and their adherence to democratic institutions
are among many other elements OF pubic welfare,
those which will make OF that country Of the
most significant in the new world.
The constant revolutions, whose origin il to be
found in the foolish ambition of few discontinued
individuals, from whom the people have withdrawn
their confidence, have materially checked the pro-
grtssive march Of Venezuela but the total failure Of
the revelutonsts this fourth time, proves evidently
that Venezuela cannot be ruled by any ambitious or
unprincipled man. but only by the man designated by
the people as the true representative Of their Will
Ii is to be hoped that although the actual Admins
tration has scarcely had time during a whole term to
suffocate internal commotons instigated by exGen-
eral Paez, the following Administration, which will
be inaugurated amid public peace in January, 1855,
having at its bead General jose Tsdeo viii be able
to cement firmly public tranquility which is the vital
element that Venezuela needs for the great and rapid
development Of its prosperity in every sense
General jose Tsdeo Monagas Is tried man, AID
gives all the necessary guarantees that the State will
be ably directed by him. republican principles, his
knowledge of public affairs, acquired by the exper-
ence Of many years, his practical study of State az
fairs the energy Of his character, his thorough hon
esiy bis acknowledged bravery and unspotted pa
iiotism, ore some Of the valuable qualities that he
will display as the first magistrate of the Republic,
supported by the great mass Of the venezuelan peo-
pie, who have voted almost unanimously for his a.
cension TO power.
One Of the acts which have been passed during .he
present Administration to encourage and regulate the
working of the rich metals and minerals Astounding
here the Code Of Mines, which We deem proper TO
publish below, because We aware that some OF
the newspapers in this City have vast circulation,
and we believe that 20 Europeans as well as to the
citizens of the United States, may be useful TO have
knowledge Of said Code, in order that they may
know the possibility. and even facilities Of doing
profitable business in mining. II is subjoined.

DREADFUL REPORT
LOSS OF THE ARCTIC.
ONLY THIRTY-TWO PERSONS SAVED.

At q O'Clock this morning the town was
shocked by news of the loss Of the Arctic with
nearly all on board.
The story is that thirty miles from Cape Race
in dense fog, she came into collision with a
supposed Glasgow steamer, and soon after sunk
only 30 of the passengers escaping
Though this story is current through the town.
and seems TO have at least the probability Of
truth, we very much doubt its correctness.

early a. 10 O'Clock, had not been reported to us
up A. NJ.
