The INTER. OCEANIC CANAL-Since the "a.
vorable report in reference to the practica-
bility of a ship canal across the Isthmus, our
government, it is said, has ordered a ship
on the service of exploration, with view 10
definitely settle the fact Of its feasibility.
This has been favorite project for centu-
ries. Commercial nations are able to esti.
mate the great advantage of such a commu-
nication between the Atlantic and Pacific,
and companies have been formed in Eng
land to effect it, but the natural obstacles TO
the enterprise, and its enormous cost, have.
always do;erred the commencement of any
such work. Several routes have been sug-
gested, but none seemed practicable till the
recent report, and it is to ascertain this fact
that the further investigation is deemed de-
sirable. The region of country through
which such a canal will pass is but little
known, for it is Inhabited by Indians, un-.
friendly to strangers and suspicious of their
desigus.

ADDRESS. II s


To The Ministers and Churches IN connection
with tie General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church. . -a
DEAR BRETHREN-The undersigned, mem
bers of the General Assembly now in session
in Cleveland, Ohio, are constrained 10 ad-
dress you with reference 10 The state OF our
beloved Church, and TO indicate the course
which should be pursued by all who adhere
10 The principles of our Constitution, as inter-
preied by its trainers, and as practically ac.
knowedged during the almost entire period
| of our history as church.
The action oflhe present Assembly on the
subject of Slavery, especially when con sid
cred in connection with the spirit and lnani-
fest purpose of several Of the Western Syn.
ods, has impressed with the belief that peace
and harmony can no longer prevail amongst
us--that the Assembly as at present cons'i-
tu,ed, instead of being bond of union be-.
tween different sections of the church, will
continue to be the theatre OF strife and dis.
cord and tha. the glory Of God, he welfare
of our churches, and the good Of the country
demand a separation nf-ihs- descendant elo-
ments, and The existence Of another Assem-
! bly, 10 which the agitation OF the slavery
question will be unknown.
we had hoped that our brethren who have
been disposed 10 introduce this subject into
the General Assembly would ere this have
been convinced that no good could result 10
the church from this asilation-that it was
alternating brethern Of common Christian
faith, and was calcnlaled TO render the con,
dtion of The slave more undesirable, and TO
surder the lies that bind our union together.
In this regard we have been sadly disap-
pointed. In consequence of The political ag-
lauon of the subject, and oi The pressure
brought 10 bear upon thom by Congregational
Churches holding the most ultra abolition
sentiments, many of our Western Presbyler-
ians have become more urgent in demanding
progressive action OF the Assembly. They
have not been satisfied with the past decla.
lions of the Assembly. They have desired
the Assembly 10 express its views OF the sin
Of slaveholding SO clearly that they. cau be
made the basis of discipline by the courts of
the Church, This acton has now been yir-
tually taken by the Assembly. Il has avow-
ed that the relation of master aud servant
which necessarily involves the idea af prop
eHy in the services of the laiIef---is a sin in
the sight of God, and an offence in the sense
in which the term is used in the Consolation
of the Church. This declaration has been
made, although confessedly there is not the
most remote allusion to slavehoding in our
standards, and also with the knowledge Of

Y Bobbin-net Lace, which was former.
ly manufactured by hand-machines, as stock
ings are knit upon frames, is now made by
steam or water power. 1t is an elegant tex
ture, possessing superior strength and reg
ularity; and may be said to surpass every
other branch of human industry in the com.
pick ingenuity of its machinery, of
the "spotting frames" being as much be-
yond the most curious chronometer, in null
tiplicity of mechanical device, as that is be.
yond common roasting-jack. The ordina-
ry material of this lace is two cotton yarns,
of from No. $50 10 No. 25o, twisted into one
thread but sometimes strongly twisted sim
gle yarn has been used. The beauty Of the
fabric depends upon the quality of the ma
terial, as well as the regularity and small.
ness of the meshes. The number Of warp
threads in yard in bredth is from six hund-
dred 10 nine hundred, which is equivalent to
from twenty 10 thirty in an inch. The size
of the holes cannot be exactly inferred how
ever, from that circumstance as it depends
partly upon the obiique traction of the
threads. The breadth of the pieces of bob
bin-net varies from eagings of quarter Of
an inch, to webs IL, or even 10. 20 quarters,
that is, five yards wide Ledger. asa

Who worship the loins flower. {.
