RELIGIOUs.-St. Johns Episcopdl.-It
was our privilege on Sunday night to attend
the services in this time-honored house OF
God,' revcrberating for more than 4 CEN
tury with sounds of the gospel and the
songs and prayers of the pious. The eve
ming being rather unpleasant, the church
was not as well filled rs usual, but those
that were present showed by their manner
and devotion during the whole service that
they had come to worship and to learn, and
that the storm and rain without could not
disturb them; for they were engaged in
rendering praise and alteration to their
Creator. 4 more attentive band of wor-
shippers can hardly be found than the
people of this church. They came to wor-
ship" not to see and be scen," as is so
often the case in our day. The sermon on
this occasion was preached by the pastor on
the theme, "Christ weeping over Jerusa-
lem y; from which, in his impressive way,
he showed that there is IL point in the life
Of the impentcnt beyond which there is no
REDEMPTION. The fearful sin of rgcctinJ
Christ and His Gospel was portrayed in
language that must have gone home to every
heart. Noone can sit under such powerful
preaching without being impressed. The
speaker possesses the happy talent of pre-
scnting the truth in such clear light that
every one must sec it. He is sincere,
striking, pungcnt, and Jealous for the
Lords cause which characteristics will
cause any congregation to prosper under
his pastoral care.
st. JLurL's English Lutheran.-This
church. located on Mayo street below Broad,
lately organized under the pastoral care OF
Rev. J. &. Neiffer, is attracting considcra-
bic attention abroad. Its young pastor, by
his Jealous and untiring labors, has already,
we understand, gathered a congregation OF
some sixty members, with prospects of a
large increase in short time. The church
in which they worship belongs to The Uni
versalists, from whom they have rented the
building for the present, looking forward tc
the erection Of o structure of their own i'll
our midst.
Last Sunday the pastor preached on the
words, " Behold, thy king comcth unite
thce"; from which he drew the theme, the
coming of Christ through the preached
| Word. Wherever and whenever the gospel
is preached in lis purity, there Christ comes
to The hearers if they receive it in truth and
sincerity. Upon this point he dwclt al
length, and will that earncstncss whicl
always characterzcs his preaching.
The quartcttc in this church, under the
leadership of Mr.. Smith, deserves spccia
notice. 1t ranks among the best III the
city. They sing selections from the hes
authors-such as Nlcndclasohn, Haydn, Flo
tow, &c.,-with accuracy and feeling. /
is truly refreshing to listen to the GioriI
PGiria and GIoria in ErccisiS sung duins

THE CHINESE LABOR QuEsTIoN.-The in
terest which now attaches to the pccuGari
tics of Chinese laborers gives value to all
reliable information on that subject. All
the recent discussions Of their fitness for
southern fields seem to have taken their in
dustry for granted, and therefore the
points considered have been mainly what it
would cost to get them here, and what to
feed and clothe them when arrived. The
experience in California, while it has crc-
ated strong opposition on social grounds, has
been believed to be favorable as touching
their industry.
A writer in the EUening Post claims that
the experience III California does not fur
nish an adequate criterion by which to
| judge Of their usefulness in southern fields.
He says they do very we'll there where they
are by steam within easy reach of their
homes, and where they are governed by So
cieties by which they are protected in case
of sickness or want. But taken into the
interior of the country, and bound down to
work for n mere pittance, he says they
would become lazy and burdensome. In
California, when their time is cut, they arc
nearly always without means, and If they
cannot return home become an intolerablc
nuisance. He gives an account of the
Sandwich Islands experience, which is not
without its lesson. He says:
about 1852, Mr.. Pierce Graves brought
two ship-loads Of Chinese coolies to the
Sandwich Islands. They were, il my
memory serves me, picked up at Swatow,
and were to receive two dollars and n half
per month and regularly stipulated
amount of rice. In five years they were to
he free. Mr. Graves, having previously
entered into an arrangement with a num-
Der Of planters on the islands, brought on
about four hundred coolies; and for their
passages, including his own commission, he
received sl00 per head. From the first,
these men stated that they had been de-
ceivcd; that they. had engaged but for
one year, and that they were to have
| five dollars per month and q free passage
! home if they elected to return at the cxpi-
ration of their period Of service. They
never worked willingly; they gamblcd all
night. and consequently were incapable OF
working we'll the next day. They were
great thieves and scamps generally. They
never learned to speak English but picked
up % few words Of the native language, and
consequently made poor house servants.
/ They took great offence if scoldcd and if
assaulted, would tic knives to long poles
and attack their Ovcrsccrs. They seemed
to have no fear of death. They filed the
prisons and chain-gangS; and number Of
/ them were banged for mmdcr.-NClo loTh.

DOMESTIC FUEL.--The attention OF con-
