"The Princess of the House of David has

made to illustrate events in the land of Judes,
by the letters OF Jewish maiden. In this
young prince OF Phenic:a is supposed 10 write
from Egypt The condition Of the, children OF
Israel and the wonders wrought by Moses, form
the staple of the work. and ms much of Egyptian
history and description is introduced as are
necessary to complete the picture, and give it
fulness and unity. Mr. Ingraham has diligent-
ly consulted all ssibe authorities upon the
an Antiquities and customs of Egypt, and the vol
ume is the result of long and patient study
Many difficulties ettend an undertaking of such
o nature, aud justice to the writer requires that
the preface and appendix should be read before
the text of the work. The object is TO pro-
note a knowledge of the Bible, by leading
readers to compare ard verify, and search for
tnenselTes. 1nS material Tor Inc volumes, IL
is proper TO say, is drawn from other sources,
and the imagination of the writer is employed
to fill up, from brief data, n continuous nara
tive. 1t is Phenician and contemporary view
of the scenes and events which we are accns-
toned to regard from quite different stand

terson, the pulpit of the Baptist Church,
was occupied on Sunday morning last, by a
German Reform Minister, whose object was
to prepare the way for the formation of a
German Reform Congregation in this city.
We are not advised as to how far his efforts
were successful. We understand that hewill
preach again in Cumberland in the course Of

tablishment of a Church here, as there is a

Local Intelligence.

E LUTHERAN CHURCH STEEPLE-For q month
or two past, workmen have been engaged in
the construction of a steeple upon the Eng
lish Lutheran Church Of this city. The work
has been very much retarded by the unfav-
orable weather of the last three or four weeks.
1t is, however, nearly completed; and not
only adds greatly to the general appearance
Of the Church itself, but is an ornament
to tho whole city. The traveller, as he ap-
proaches our unassuming mountain retreat,
finds it among the prominent objects that
first greet his vision. Pecring up through
the air towards mid-heaven, it catches the
first faint light of the blushing morn, and
the last parting smiles of the blazing day
god--hovering on the verge of the horizon
to bless and beautify the world, ere wrapt in
the rayless, starless mantle of repose--linger
around its elevated summit in the touching
sweetness and tenderness of an inaudible
good night"
The Church has been built about sixteen
years. The Front, Vestibue and Steeple
remained unfinished. The ascent to the Au-
dience Chamber was by flight Of uncouth,
outside steps.
The Front and Vestibule have been remod-
oled. Three large, double circular headed
windows have been inserted--the parapet
walls have been crowned with battlements,
and the pilasters with pinnacles, which are
not quite completed
The steeple isin modern style,-built after
q Design made expressly for the Church by
William Angelo Powell, Architect of Bati-
more who was here a few months since to
give directions for the execution of his plan.
The entire height Of the stecple from the
level of the street is about one hundred and
twelve or one hundred and thirteen feet--the
steeple itself is about seTenty-two feet in
height. 1t consists of heavy Base, COM
mencing in square form, and gliding into
all octagonal. This story is surrounded with
a bracket cornce. The second story is oc-
tagona, with four Reccsses, and four green
Stat windows, overhung with Gables. The
Gables are ornamented with carved Finals
and Corbels, representing clusters of leaves.
The third story is an octagonal spire orna-
mented with a very large and handsomely
wrought Final, the length of which is a.
bout thirteen feet
The steeple is Of mellow, light stone col
or. The spire proper, and Finals, are sanded.
The contractor, is Mr.. J. B. Walton, Esq,
of Cumberland, who deserves credit for his
skill in embodying the Design of the Arcli-
tect
The work has been Under tho superntend-
ence of co,4imitteo consisting of the Pastor,
Rev. A. j. Weddell, and four members.
The plan of the Architect requires the
whole building to be coiored like the steeple,
to give uniformity to the Design.
The work reflects credit on all the parties
concerned.
We regret that ous limited familiarity with
architectural technical ties prevents our Civ
ing more ineligible explanation of its con-
struction and appearance.
