MANUAL OF THE EVIDENCES OF CHRIsTIANI-
TY. For Glasses and Private Reading. By
stephen G. Bulfinch, d. D. 12mo DID. $780,
Boston: William V. Spencer.
| The author of this little book says in his pre-
| face, that, at the present time, when many re-
| Ject altogether the claims of Christianity, and
many who love and reverence it have very in
definite ideas of the authority with which it
| comes to us, there u.s. in his view, special call
for some clear and brief statement of what are
held as the leading evidences of its divine orr
gin. His sense of this pressing want has led
to the preparation of the present volume,
which it has been his endeavor to adapt not
only to the uses of public seminarles and of BIZ
BILE classes, but to the needs of the private in
| quirer. 1''li! VS. s-a'-a
The recent Investigations ia, ecicuce and in
| siscofogy have been brought to bear upon the
subject, and the claims of Christianity re-ex-
amined in the new light thus afforded; the va
rious modern speculations and theories by
which it is attempted to account for the an
pearances OF miraculous agency, are examined
and discussed, and all the evidences, internal
and external, on which rests the claim of the
Christian system to divine origin, are exhibit
ed with much clearness, precision and fairness.
1t is book which will be found very useful in
colleges, seminaries, and in the higher classes
OF our Sunday Schools. 1t is for sale here by
Bailey &Noyes, and also by Short & Loring

The FENIAN MAN-oF-WA New York
paper furnishes the following facts and rumors
in regard to the Fenian man-of-war, which is
said to be let loose to prey upon British COM
merce. 1t is well known that such boat
left Brooklyn some time ago, and proceeded to
sea by way Of Long Island Sound. When
near Sands Point she took on full crew
OF men, full set of officers, several cases
OF arms and material of war. Off Newport
she stood out for sea. Communication has
constantly been kept up with her ever since,
but she has moved about so quietly that she
has never been reported as having been seen
"of the coast" The following IS descrip-
ton of the steamer: $500
"The vessel in question is an iron side
wheel steamer of six hundred tons, o. NJ,
and was built on the Clyde. After some
out to run the blockade. After making
several trips between Bermuda and VIII
mllngton she was captured and sent to
Boston for condemnation. The Navy De-
partment purchased her, and on the Sth of
April 1854 she sailed from that Port as a
commissioned United States vessel of war, and
was attached to the Gulf squadron. She was
on the Galveston blockade for long time.--
In July, 1866, she received orders to report at
Philadelphia, where she arrived on the 10Th of
August, 1865; was put out of commission and
SS-N AVA pAOsOVV' ~ IlCt Chr66I DIS u OQlCGU
States war vessel terminated in October of
that year. Subsequently she was towed
around to New York to keep her clear of the
ttihab1e to state the exact price, but we Del1eve
over $4,000 was paid for her.
She was just as the Navy Department left
her, with magazine, shell rooms, hammock
hooks, MEETINGS, breeching bolts, securing
bolts, &C., all complete. She now mounts six
guns in broadside and pivot forward; car
ries four boats, schooner rugged, two tunnels,
and when she left here she was painted lead
color. Her cabins were finished in mahogany
and upholstered With green plush. The ward
room and steerage were also fitted up in ma
hogany. She has two powerful engines and
four boilers, and under full steam can make
thirteen and a half to fourteen knots easily.
She carries no yards except the squaresail yard
ON the foremost.
In all respects she is superior vessel and
can, if properly handled, do much mischief.
She took away very full complement of Goals,
and our Informant says, cargo of fuel left
Elizabethport on Sunday destined for her.
She has eluded all curious eyes for much
longer time than could reasonably be expect
ed, and from this fact it is believed that she
can remain incog. as much longer as may be
necessary to effect her purpose"
