Since the closing of Exeter Hall in London,
tothe clergy of the Established Church by the
directions of the rector of the parish in which
the hall is located, the Bishop of London has
commenced series of special services for the
working class, in connection with the London
Diocesan Home Mission. The first service
was at Bethnal Green, with sermon In tho
parish church by the Bishop and is thus de-
scribed in the London Record: THE large
church, with its double galleries, seats 1000
people, but there could not have been fewer
than $500 present. The pews, according to
previous arrangement, were thrown open to
all, the usual stockholders cheerfully seeking
accommodations among the congregation
generally. Tbree-fourths probably of the
crowded audience were men, a very conside-
rable proportion of them weavers, not In the
habit Of attending church. The fervor and
heartiness Of the singing showed the feelings
that animated them"

"Ion," the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says:--It is thought that
q majority of the Senate will vote for the ac-
ceptance of the Lecompton constitution. The
result in the House is more doubtful, and de-
ponds upon few northwestern democratic
votes. But, for some weeks past project
Of Cancellation has been privately discussed,
and within few days has taken substan-
al form which may possibly be acceptable to
the democratic members of Congress, as
body. If Mr.. Douglas should assent 10 IT,
the northern democratic members VIII az AZ
ceptit but it is to be seen whether IL Will
meet the views Of the southern members
The proposition is to provide in the act tor
the admission Of Kansas, that convention
shall be held in the State, within certain
time. for the purpose of proposing amend
ments to the constitution, which amendments
shall, when adopted by the people, be part
of the constitution, notwithstanding any pro-
vision to the contrary in the Lecompton con.
sttuton.
This project may be opposed in the Senate
by northwestern democratic Senator. 1t
cannot be adopted without the united sup
port of the democratic members. 1t does not
conflict with the Presidents position, for it
brings Kansas at once into the Union, and
transfers the entire subject of dispute to that
State.

Then shook the chairs and desks all riven,
And some right handsome llcks were gIven-
The South IS neither scared nor driven,
Bu, pUrrEH pounds them awially!
And harder still he deals the blow
His fist weighs fifteen pounds or So
The ruthless giant! don't he know

Looks like a ;om-cat battle-ground!

WASHINGTON. May 20, 1858.
The Miscellaneous Appropriation bill!
passed to-day. An appropriation of one
million dollars for the capitol extension was
struck out by thirty majority, leaving three
millions for the other appropriations. The
Senate will probably reinstate it. Unusual.
ly few additions are made by the House, but
among them were appropriations for i'm
proved life boats on the Jersey coast, which
were carried by Mr. ChNson af'ei sharp
contest, and the same for the Long Island
coast were carried by George Taylor.
The attemp: TO force action on the Min
nesota members, without printing or con-
sidering the reports made by the Election
Committee at the request of the House was
so high, handed that another all-night ses-
sion would have been compelled by the Re-
rublicans, if the Administration side had
not yielded. The Democrats want the
Minnesuta votes to help turn out Mr.. Lewis
Campbell and Mr.. ]. Morrison Harris, which
they will probably succeed in doing.
The appropriation bills are unusually be-
hind hand. This is ewing to the inefic lency
of Mr.. CLANCY Jones, Chairman OF the
Committee on Ways and Means. He ne
elected many opportunities to press his bills
earlier in the session, and the real work of
pressing forward the appropriations will
now devolve on Messrs. Letcher and Phelps
Mr.. Jones lost his temper yesterday,
entirely without provocation, and lowered
himself greatly in the estimation of all
parties by his vulgar and Indecent attack on
Mr.. Sherman of Ohio, who replied with
great spirit and dignity. The Democrats
themselves called to Mr.. Jones TO stop his
offensive illusions as to dining with the
President. 1t is noticed as remarkable
departure from the usual custom of the
White House, that Mr.. Buchanan has not
invited any Republican Representatives to
dine with him. Former Presidents made
no partizan distinction in exercising their

Mr. Thurlow Weed testified that on March
23d, 1857, Mr.. Ezra Lincoln of Boston, paid
him $4,000, partly for services in forward
ing the passage of the Tariff bill, partly
for the political expenses of the campaign

poses. 1t was put into his own pocket as
just remuneration for his trouble in assist
ing the passage of the Tariff by argument,
and BY the presentation of statistics bear
ing on the subject.

LIFE THOUGHTS.
BY II. W. BEECHER.

A week filled with sel6shness. and the
Sabbath stuffed full Of religious exerci-
ses, will make good 2harisee, but a
poor Christian There are many per.
sons who think Sunday is a sponge with
which to wipe out the sins of the week.
When flowers are full of heaven.de-
scended dews, they always hang their
heads; but men hold theirs the higher
the more they receive, getting proud
as they get full.
There are some people who forever
add, "but then to every positive hav-
ing. and so always make a drain or
sluiceway by which the heavenly
stream of Gods favors escapes from
them.
The Church has always been so fear.
full of amusements that the devil has had
the care of them. The chaplet of flow.
ers has been snatched FROM the brow of
Christ. and given to mammon.
A man ought to carry himself in the
world as an Orange tree would if it
could walk up and down in the garden
swinging perfume from every little
censer it holds up to the air.
Many Christians are like chestnuts--
very pleasant nuts. but enclosed in very
prickiy burs, which need various deal
ings of Nature, and her grip of frost,
before the kernel is disclosed.
There is an ugly kind of forgiveness
in this world--a kind of hedge hog for
giveness, shot out like quilts. Men
take one who has offended, and sci him
down before the blow pipe of their in.
dignation, and scorch him, and burn his
fault into him., and when they have
kneaded him sufficiently with their fiery
fists, then--they forgive him.
Men plant prayers and endeavors,and
go The next day looking to see if they
have borne graces. Now. God does
not send graces as he sends light and
rain. but they are wrought in US thro'
long days of discipline and growth
Acorns and graces sprout quickly, but
grow long before ripening.
There are many Christians who like,
about once in twelve months, to have a
good revival in their hearts. They
think that, like the year, they can make
up for freezing and showing all winter
by period Of intense heat in the sum
mer.

Manor's Criminal Law.
]. DAVIS HALsTEA1

The design of this work is to provide q
summary of Criminal Law adapted not only
to the use of Justices of the Peace, but sl.
SO to tina: Of Courts of Record. In prepa-
ring it, the chief aim has been to simplify
the subject of which il treats, and to render
il easily compr. hended; to reject redundant
cies; to condense the whole into as small a
compass as possible, consistently with pers-
picuity; to cite no decis icn but such as are
generally recognized and applicable to on
Statuatory crimes and offences; and to make
it practical and of general utility.
The work consists of two general divis-
ions: The first of which treats of criminal
proceedings, giving form of indictment
for each offence, and the evidence necessary
to support it. The second, of proceedings
before Magistrates, from the complaint 10
bailing or commitment, with all necessary
instructions and forms relating to their du-
ty in criminal proceedings.
This work is highly necessary to all
and can oe had of the agent
for this county. ISAAC H. PATTERSON.
