Unmindful neither OF the great and beneficial
influence which the Rev. Christopher Newman
Hall has exerted over the working classes in
London, nor Of his consistent advocacy Of the
efforts of the United States government TO re-
press the rebellion which occasioned our late
civil war, we are sorry TO be compelled by his
disjointed and illogical harangue on Wednes-
day, at Steinway Hall, to class him in the cate
CORY Of Thomas Carlyle's .spouting wretches."
Unfortunately he has left us no alternative, and
out of his own mouth we must condemn him.
What, for instance, could be more absurd than
the Judgment which he ventured 10 pronounce
on the London Times at was read y be declar-
ed, "by everybody because of the accuracy Of
its news and the force and beauty OF It's English,
but no ono minded what II said.'' A similarly
illogical verdict was rendered against the New
YORK HERALD by another Englishman, imported
from Grub street and employed by the North
american Recic,s This writer was constrained
to eulogize the HERALD as the best newspaper
in the world, but in the same breath denied its
importance as vehicle OF opinion. Thus both
Parton and Newman Hall write themselves
down as asininely ignorant Of the true
scope and purpose Of the modern
newspaper Without the slightest ill.will
against the Reverend Christopher Newman
Hall, we find ourselves compelled by his
ridiculous speech at steinway Hall 70 regard
him ~ type Of that hypocritical class Of
Exeter Hall "philanthropis.s' who, from the
time that they sen, George Thompson to this
country in order TO initiate crusade against
the constitution and the union OF the United
States, did oil that they could TO provoke the
civil war which has cost rs so many lives and
90 much money, and the consequences Of which,
We fear, will long retsrd our restoration TO

Yesterday afternoon the Vanderbilt and Deaa
Richnond investigation, which has lasted nearly
fortnight, was at length brought to clsss
and the case summed up, and tho result Of this
Official inquiry will probably be presented 10
the public in few days moro. The govern
nent inspectors Of sll steam vessels and
machinery a6oat have an onerous duty to dis
charge in arriving at their decision as to how
the collision occurred and which boat was In
fault, a. the evidence is somewhat conflicting
But no matter what the determination they
come to, no possible loophole of escape ID open
to the boat that is to blame. From the evi-
dence produced 1t is palpable that the boats
were seen BY each other when more than. three
miles apart, or thereabouts; the channel of tho
river was clear and broad, and no impediment
was in the way to oblige either to keep tAe
particular course it did, and yet they came
in contact There is little doubt that the
grossest carelessness and most culpable neglect
is to be attached to some parties on board one
or the other of the two boats. The inspectors
must remember this in considering tho case,
and no excuses should be allowed to haSe
weight in letting OF whichever pilot Is proved
to have been in the wrong. The public have .
right TO demand that after the strict investiga-
ton already held the promptest action be now
taken

fort to the South, sfter the North hsd been
driven BY ths logic Of events TO decide in fkvor
OF emancipation. There is . cool impudsncs
which We cannot help resenting in those Bri-
tish abolitionists who labored for the dissolu-
tion Of the American Union, chuckled over it
when they imagined that II had been accom-
plished, and now have the sudacity to claim
recognition and reward for services which
they profess to have rendered during our
civil war. To hear them talk, one might
suppose that We are indebted TO them,
and not TO General Grant and 70
the heroism of the federal army and to the
sacrifices and the determination Of the North
ern people, for the suppression Of the rebellion.
When. therefore, they come here to beg for
money to build churches in London, or for any
other object, we must counsel them to urge
some other plea than the profeesed friendship
of people who sent out Alabamas to sweep
our commerce from every sea, and who must
have been disagreeably surprised at the victo-
ries Of the federal army. Unsolicited and
spontaneously the American public has made
liberal contributions, during and previous to
the war, In behalf of the famine-stricken popu-
lations Of Great Britain. The aggregate sum Of
money annually sent to "the Old Country" by
emigrants who wish TO enable their relatives
to join them here would astonish the statisti-
clans. We trust that the Rev. Christopher
Newman Hall will not regard us as uncharita-
BILE, if we advise him to base his appeals to our
public upon altogether different grounds from
those which he has assumed. And we must
recommend both Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Parton TO
correct their illogical views Of the mission Of
the newspaper.

A Pre.byserian Divine in H,sh Dmdseou.

Presbytcrian Divine in High Dndgeeu.
DR.. BTeckinridge, Of Kentucky, is q fighting
Presbyterian. He is ready to prove his doc
don't like what say, he knows where live"
Such is the reverend gentleman's style--such
are his words used in the Convention Of Pres
byterian divines assembled at Philadelphia to
endeavor to put ell the Presbyterian disputes
at rest, to reconcile Old School with New
School, to provide generally that the branches
of great religious sect shall cease to quarrel
in their prayers Since the time Of the unfor-
tunate difficulty between Adams two sons
religion has been tolerably prolific source of
dispute, and Breckinridge is inclined to keep
up the usages of the good old golden, silver
and other ages. He has not expressly
said that he would burn at stake any
person who differed with him, or boil said
person in oil, or roast him in batter;
but ne evidently has notion that il
the difference were on point Of doctrine
such acts on his part, IL possible, would
find favor in the sight of God. We derive
this from words actually spoken by the
learned Doctor; for he informed the Presbyte-
rian Convention that @the curse OF God would
rest upon" it il il went on in certain practices
that he thought wrong. Now, the "curse of
God" If all be true that we have heard, is
heavy thing-a great deal harder TO bear,
perhape, than fire in any Of the above specified
forms; and since Breckinridge will dispense
this curse as his final argument against his
very pious brethren, would he withhold fire il
the case were only against some wretched sin
nerY Not he. All honor to this fine specimen
OF Presbyterian " OF the Old SCHOOL, But
this class Of Presbyterians ought to get some
other name for themselves besides Christians.
Certainly, the doctrines and words OF the
Nazarine are far too mild--feeble, even--to
suit their energetic piety, and typical
disciple Of Jesus OF Nazareth would be far
behind them iu spirit Breckinridge clearly
spurns all pretence that he 10 in any such
category. The words OF Christ are: "By this
shall all know that ye are my disciples-ths ye
have love one to another" This is the IN
changeable sign and Breckinridge, spurnlng
and scorning all the disciples Of me other
School, because they were without theological
learning" throwing down bis defiance, pro-
nouncing the "curse Of Cod because the meet
ing would not hear him, evidently does not
mean TO be counted in any such mild man
nered company. Yet II is strange that this
body, Of which Breckenridge is a most distin-
guished member, laid down its principles by
acknowledging the Scriptures of the Old and
New Testament to be the inspired word Of
God-the only infsllible rule Of faith and
practice" II the Convention stands on this
doctrine, where does Breckenridge stand He
will have to start denomination Of his own,

declaration, "And Samuel hewed Agag In

From our special fashions correspondent in
Paris we learn that the fashionable world there
is convulsed and jubilant over the visit of the
Kaiser. Napoleon probably WINGED on being
introduced to the Austrian archdukes when
he reflected on the manner In which he treated
one of their body. Still, the reception OF the
distinguished visitors was Of the most gor-
geous kind, and princes, marshals, excellen-
cies, barons and colonels were there in hun
dreds Cent Gardes prsnced about in all di-
rections, and reviews, banquets, hunting fetes
and addresses, OF course, occupied the Satten-
ton of the fashionable world and brought out
the richest toilets of the season. Satin and
velvet flowers, with jewelled hearts, are ex-
tensively worn on evening dresses. The rage
for Horticultural trimming is of the most ex-
travagant kind. The ladies have hauled down
their streamers and substituted Roman rings
and sashes. Gold galloon and braid adorn
black silk, and Scotch merino costumes are
looped up over colored pc tticoats. The gentle
men have walking stick with sword at one
end and matches and a candlestick at the
other. This is the new torch Of hymen and
the light of love that illuminates nocturnal in
terviews. In the American metropolis the fair
dignitaries Of the court of fashion have been
long celebrating on what they should wear
this winter. They absolutely refuse to accept
the importations from the third rate establish
ments of Paris, and the modistes are COM
peled TO originate styles suitable for this side of
the Atlantic. The despotic reign Of the Partisan
demi-monde over the fashions Of New York is
now at an end, and American styles are TO be
seen everywhere. It will give the ladies here
more study and trouble, probably, to invent
novelties every season; but their independence
Of European restrictions will be source OF
pleasure to them.
