tory progress in the object OF their mission,
they were preparing to return to the ship,
when suddenly the natives, who were onlya
few yards off, shot at Commodore Good

lett side. The boat then put oil under

TIE PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.-[From the
New York Cbseruer.l-A large part OF. the
Presbyterian churcoes of the world were
represented at the meeting. There were
delegates present from America the United
States and Canada). Europe, Australia, New
Zealand, New South Wales, representing,
among others, Old and New Southern Pres.
byterians from this country, the consolidated
Church of Canada, Scotch Covenan1ers, the
Huguenots of France, the Waldenses, the
Bohemians, the New Church in Spain, &c.
What will be it's practical results? One
thing is certain that the churches which
hold the Reformed faith and the Presbyte-
riaa polity have never been so strong as at
this day all over the world. On the great
continent of America, taking all their
branches, they are fairly In the ascendant.
The union Of the Old and New School
churches, the recent consultations of the
Presbyterians in Canada, and the union OF
that Church in Australia and New Z'aland,
the growing tendency towards union 10
Great Britain-all are significant sigos of the
times aud elements of increasing power tor
the Presbyterian system.
The meeting Of the General Council IN
Edinburgh may be anticipated with Joyful
hope as the beginning of new and glorious
epoch 10 the history of the principles OF the
great Reformation. So may it be.
