The Beginning Of the World.

The following is an extract from sermon
of Sturgeon, the English preacher, and is
specimen of the eloquence which, within
year or two, has made his name familiar
in both hemispheres:
s"Can any man tell me when the begin
ming was? Years ago we thought the be-
ginning Of this world was when Adam came
upon it; but we have discovered that thou
sands Of years before that God was forming
chaotic matter to make it fit abode for man
and putting races Of creatures upon it, that
| they might die and leave traces of his hand
work and marvellous skill, before he tried
his hand on man But this was not the be-
ginning, for revelations poiat US to period
long ere this world was fashioned, to the
days when the morning stars were begotten
when, like drops Of dew from the fingers
Of morning, stars aud consultations fell
tLickly from the hand of God; by his own
lips, he launched forth ponderous orbs !;
when, with his own hand, he sent comets,
like thunderbolts, wandering through the
sky to find one day their proper sphere
We go back to those days when worlds we're
made and systems were fashioned, and we
have not even approached the beginning
yet. aHa
! .Until we go back to the time when all
the universe slept in the mind of God, as
yet unborn, until we enter the eternitu
where God. the Creator, dwells alone, ev-
erything sleeping in his mighty gigantic
thought, we have not guessed the begin
ming. We may so back, back, back, ages
upon ages. We may go back, if we may
use such words, whole eternities, and yet
never arrive at the beginning. Our wing
might be tired. our imagination die away
Could it ontstrp the lghtning's flash, maj
esty, power and rapidly, it would soon
weary itself ere it could get to the begin
ming. But God, from the beginning, chose
his people, when unnavigated, ether was
yet Unframed by the wing Of single angel,
when space was shoreless, or else unbotn,
when universal silence -reigned, and not a
voice or whisper shocked the solemnity Of
silence, when there was no being, no mo-
ton, naught but God himself alone in his
eternity; when, without the song Of an an
gel, without the attendance even Of cher
ubim long ere the living creatures were
born, or the wheels of the chariot of Jeho-
Yah were fashioned; even then, then in
the beginning was the Word and in the
beginning Gods people were in the word,
and in the beginning he chose them all I'M
to eternal life"

gave orders 20 lis foreign agents On tho AZ

emigration of free blacks to the French col

ordered that the system should be discontin-
ued until that better system was found. He
has therefore given orders to commence

From Washington

New YORK, Oct 12-The Times Wash
imgton correspondent says the dispatch from
New Orleans, announcing that body of Mex
lean guerillas had taken Brownsville, had ere
ated a profound sens alton in official quarters,
and that the Cabinet are considering the pro
priety OF sending sufficient force To the Rio
Grande not only for the protection of Browns
vile, but to carry the war into Mexico, and
there punish the marauders.
Official advices from our Minister to China,
dated July 4, say that he did send steamer
with written communication to the point
named by the Chinese, but there was no one
TO receive it, Several men went ashore, and
having penetrated the country, barely escaped
with their lives. They were chased even into
the water. The communication, however,
was left for the Chinese officials, but doubtless
was never delivered. Mr.. Ward has no hope
whatever of the ratification of the American
treaty.
1t is reported that Mr.. McLane is about to
resume his official post near the Mexican gov
eminent that there is rumor afloat that Mr..
Thomas Meagher has gone to Costa Rica in
the interest of EX-President Mora, and will
make an effort, with the aid of his Irish coun-
trymen, to assist him in regaining supreme
power; and that the action of Com. Tatnall
and our Minister Ward with regard to the re-
cent events in China, has met with the entire
appreciation of government.
The Herald's Washington correspondent
says 1t is understood that Lord Lyons has
received peremptory and important dispatch
from his government, demanding explanations
from our government touching the course of
Gen Harvey in the San Juan affair, to which
Mr.. Cass is now preparing a reply which will
vindicate fully our right. The whole matter
will be laid before the President on his return.
A communication has also been received
through Lord Lyons, from the British govern
ment, requesting that their acknow Judgments
may be conveyed to our Minister to China, and
also to Com. Tatnall, for friendly conduct in
the affair of the Peiho
