attained cannot be attained without assuming The au-
thOrity and perpetui,y Of the body Of pastors and
teachers, We have right to conclude their authority
and perpetuity; since they are appointed by God
himsefw cannot fail to adapt his meana to his ends
For what end then, has God instituted this body Of
pastors and teachers The Apostle answers, "For
the perfection of the saints for the work Of the minis
try, unto the edfcation Of the body Of Christ till
we all meet in the unity OF the faith. and Of The
knowledge Of the Son of God, unto perfect man,
unto the measure of the age Of the ulness of Christi
ha, ,oe may aot now be children tossed to and fro,
and carried about ,rth euery ,oind Of doctrine in
the l0ickedness of men, in craftiness by which
they lie in loait to deceiue; but performing the
truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in
him who is the head Christ j" Eph. chap. l2-l5.
This needs no comment. The end here proposed
for which the christian ministry is instituted is one
which always and every where subsists, and must
so long as the world remains. But this is an end
which obviously cannot be secured but by author
tativc and perpetual body of teachers. Therefore
the body Of tea:hers is authoritative and perpetual.
Therefore God, or God in Jesus Christ has appout-
ed, commissioned body Of teachers, the Eeclesia-
dozens, as an authoritative and perpetual corpora
on 10 subsist unto the consumnaiion of the world.

From the London Times of the 23d
ITEMS FROM THE WAR

In the present state OF the siege of Sebasto-
pol, all that the allied Generals can hope TO effect
is to subdue and occupy some of the outer
works which the Russian engineers, under the
command of General Tolleben, have constructed
with so much skill, hardihood and efficiency
Accordingly, while the principal efforts of the
French are directed against the triple battery
which they call the Flagstaff battery, but which
is commonly described in our plans as the Gar
den battery, our fire is mainly directed against
the Great Rcdan, in front of our own Lancaster
battery and Picket's-hill; and the French attack
on the extreme right is occupied with the works
in front of the Malakoff Tower. Of these
three pints of attack, The first is tie most ad-
yanced, and that which nearly threatens the inte-
rior of the town. We d. not anticipate that
the effect of the fire, which commenced on the
9Th of April, will be the immediate reduction Of
the place itself, and We shall be we'll satisfied if
this attack leaves the allied armies in possession
of some of the advanced works which are the
main defences cf Sebastopol, and have hitherto
proved the most formidable obstacles TO the
success of the siege. A decided advance Of
this nature would be the surest pledge of our
ultimate success.
Several occurrences which were announced
by the last mail clearly indicated that important
events were shortly 10 be ex ected We receiv-
ed at first with some uncertainty the statement
that $4,000 Turks under Omer Pasha had landed
at Kamiesch Bay; but it is now ascerained that
early in the present month Colonel Simmons
was sent back to Eupa:oria to organize this ex-
peditiou. Five French steamers arrived 10 con-
vey the troops, and, although the weather in the
FIRST week of April prevented their immediate
embarkation, it is certain that some of the finest
regiments in the Turkish service have been con-
veyed 10 Sebastopol 10 take part in the ensuing
operations At the same time, we learn that
the Egyptian division, which is composed of ex-
cellenl troops, organized by French officers, has
been dispatched in all haste from Constantine
pie to the Crmea; and before long the first
detachments of the Sardinian corps will have
proceeded 10 the seat of war; Before the month
of May is much advanced it is certain that the
allied armies in the Crimea will amount 10 Il far
larger force than had been anticipated. The
medical officers have been instructed BY Lord
Raglan to make further preparations for the
contingencies of active war. DR.. Hall reports
that 400 patients can be accommodated in the
hospitals on shore in the Crimea, including the
new huts applied to the service, and that 620
can, if necessary, be embarked in steamers fitted
up as hospital ships.

U The editor Of the Eastern Argus, who 10 at
present Secretary of Legation London, writes home
to that paper that the French Emperor during his
cent visit to England, received Minister, Mr. Bu.
chanan, with marked civilisy and expressed the ope
that America and France nigh. always be Mt peace.
sy A letter from Turin, in the Eco d'Lal'a, says
that Victor Emanuel, King of Sardinia, has written
to the Emperor Napoleon, expressing desire to ac'
company him 10 the Crimea. The Emperor is said to
have been pleased with the idea, and readily gave his
consent
Y The Calcutta correspondent Of The London
Times states that great efor, will now be made to

and England, the lsthmus Of Panama, az soon
as the completion Of the Panama Railroad ia known

DIsGRAcEFUL ELECTION Rrors AT LOUISVILLE
On Saturday an election WAS held ut Louis
villr KY, for magistrates and censtables, result
ing in the success of the know-nothings with
out serious opposition. The election, however:
was characterized by some disgraceful scenes.
A MIN named VIM Gray fired twice at another
person, but missed his arm. A mob then pur-
sued Gray, who received two balls in his body,
and it is said several passed through, his hat.
A German. seeing some of his friends attacked
with brick bats, fired revolver twice, and
wounded two persons. He w.s pursus to his
coffechonsc, severely beaten, and every thing ia
bis establishment demolished. The Louisville
Journal, from which we gather these particulars,
does no, charge any particular party with being
in the wrong, but very correctly calls upon the
authorities 10 punish them, no matter to ~has
party they may be attached.

AN ESGLIsHMAN's OPINION OF AFFAIRS IN HIS

man in New York sends to the Courier and

from one of the coolest heads in Eng and-a
member Of the aristorracy, and of 4 family
which for antiquity and public service has no
superior in that country. The extract reads
thus:
You of course know that we have no army
and no kno,on General; that We have Il raw mil.
iia at present useless, great want Of sailors,
and very disconlentcd public, their brutal voice
crying out for more victims now, when the
Russian power in the Black Sea is parayzed
for many years TO come. 1t must be strange 10
the intelligent regard Of foreign countries, that
we should, confessedly playing second fiddle
with perfect complacency, allow our marrow 10
be sucked out by France in destroying the naval
power of our natural friend in the Mcditer-
ranean. The eyes of other nation. must be
closed, not to observe with distrust the two
great naval powers of the world, joined to
dictate and the possession of Gibraltar and
alalia, diStrusling the holder of Sebastopol,
declaring that the acquisition of the Crimea is
unjust, while AIgers is French possession

is to be done with Hungary? We gave away
Norway, and now talk of taking back Finland

leon, including England, or mast become one

cannot say that the mob arguments are in
consistent with Republican, or rather Democratic
propagandism but they are inconsistent with a
French or German alliance; and if such opin-
ions may govern our Foreign Office, no Peace
can be made in which we are not silenced for
we have now demonstrated that We are scarcely

nah Valley Rail Road to secure The benefits of
