Rrfrsuh Medal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Lord Napier has,
by instruction of Lord Clarendon, placed in
the hands of Secretary Cass number of
medals which her Majesty's government de-
sires to present to the officers and men en-
gagged in the several expeditions which have
been fitted out in the United States, for the
recovery OF Sir John Franklin and his men.
Her Majesty's government desires Lord Ma
pier to express the high sense which they en-
tertaln OF the parties who volunteered in these
enterprises, and their earnest hope that the
citizens of the United States who shared the
same dangers may be permitted to accept the
same honorary recognitions, as the officers
and men of her Majesty's service, employed
in the course of the Arctic discovery.

Utah with the same standing that Mr.. Cobb
has, and therefore it could not be said that we
are at war with Utah, but there vas speek
OF war in another direction, from which the
Administration will not be relieved by the is
sue of Treasury notes.
Mr.. Wilson argued that Congress ought to
prefer to supply the public necessities by
Treasury notes, rather than by loans for a
long period.
Mr.. Bishop supported the bill, on the
ground that the notes would go into circula.
ton, and be used as medium of exchange.
1t would meet the necessities Of Government
and benefit the business of the country.
Mr.. Davis of Maryland opposed the bill.
The striking down of the banks in the coun-
try being recommended in the Presidents
message, it may be that the issue of twenty
millions of Treasury notes is designed to fill a
void. The Democratic pnrty mean to make
and substitute the paper of the Treasury for
the paper of the Banks.
The committee then rose, and the House
adjourned.

posed by the Church and Society, and acqui-
eseed in by him, that he should be ordained
as an Evangelist, without being settled as a
pastor.
The Council assem- bled in the church at 10

candidate read brief Of his belief and theo-
logical views, which were those held by the
Professors at the Seminary at Andover, and
by the Congregationalists generally Of modern
belief. The candidates views were generally
approved, excepting those upon Infant Saliva

Atonement applied to the infant as to all man

was met by the argument that serpent is a

This and other points incidental to that Of in
FAINT salvation divided the Council. They ad-
journed to secret session in the school house,
and there spent the time till 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon celebrating, without coming to
decision. The sermon by Prof. Shedd Of An
dover, and the other exercises, were dispensed
with, and the audience in the church was dis
missed at o'clock, P. NJ, many of them
having been there from 10 O'Clock in the
morning. The excitement among the large
assembly, the church, society, and clergy, was
intense-all, however, sympathizing warmly
with the position and views of Mr.. Nickerson,
with the exception of Messrs. Cady, Marvin,
Sewall, and Emerson, who were his strong
opponents, and believers in infant damnation.
