The Weather.

The centre OF high pressure has at last
crossed the frontier and moved southwark
into the Indian Territory and Northern
Texas, being followed by rapidly falling
barometer in the Northwest. On the Nova
Scotia coast the pressure is also changing
from low to high, showing that the westerly
margin of the storm area that hung SO long
in that quarter is now moving away With
reference to this great disturbance we pre-
dicted on November 27 and at the time it
was being developed by the merging of sew
eral small storm areas, that at is almost
certain to be followed by high winds and
Atlantic storms, which will be felt severely
on the European coasts" In verifcation of
this prediction we learn by cable that "a
terrible gale has prevailed throughout the
British Isles since Saturday. causing i'm
mense damage to shipping, great inundations
and considerable loss of life. The nctual
time that the storm took to cross the Atlantic
was seven days, counting from the Goth of
November The northeastcrly course, gen.
orally followed by such disturbances, would
carry it directly over the British Islands and
with the effects described in yesterdays
cable dispatches to the HERALD. +; is prob
able that the storm in England will continue
for several days, and that it will be followed
by extremely cold weather, with heavy
SHOWS. With the exception Of small area
in the lower lake region the weather to the
west and south has been clear or fair and
cold. Light rain has fallen at Dubuque,
Iowa, Cincinnati, along tho Lake Shore and
in northern New York and New England.
The weather in this city to-day will be
slightly warmer and partly cloudy or clear.

Concert ut 81. Paul,s.

A very pleasant and interesting concert
was the one given at st. Pauls Church
recently. The following is an extract Of
an account Of the concert, published in
the Asbury Park On. ~ Journal icon
sidering the brief time In which the per-
formers had gotten 1t up, it was remark
ably successful. A trio, Fairy Moon
light by Mrs. S. c. Gillespie, Mrs. Helen
NJ. Bradley and Miss Riley, was finely
given. (Mrs Gillespie and Mrs. Bradley
are sisters of Mr.. Il. A. II. Packard, well
known musician of Windsor, VT These
three voices were hea to great advant-
age, as they sang without instrumental
accompaniment, and spoke their words 80
distinctly and clearly, the listeners were
delighted. II requires more than orndin-
airy skill and training, rs well as COM
mand of the voice, to sustain the various
parts without accompaniment, and these
ladies showed unusual musical ability
But the Gem of the evening was Mrs.
Gillespie's singing of'Killarney,' by Balfe,
one of the sweetest songs we ever heard,
and which fastens Itself in the memory
like an inextinguishable dream. 1t was
very beautifully sung, and received an
enthusiastic encore, which the lady kind
ly acknowledged by singing Comm Thro'
the Rye in a charming manner. The fam
Gus "A. B. C. Duet was finely rendered
by Mrs. Gillespie and Mr.. g. s. Dey, and
called forth prolonged applause. The
audience were very DESTROYS to hear it
repeated and were unwilling to yield the
point, but were disappointed. When this
company favor us again with concert,
we shall not fail to, attend if we are in
the neighborhool,"

From. A. G. Caruths Speech in Louisville.
His history shows that not only
does the President appoint and retain
corrupt and untait htul officers, but he
carries about himself the odor OF dis.
honesty. We nee the wood seller OF
St. Louis, the tanner of Galena---a
poor man at the close of the war
now rolling in wealth. We see him
accept costly gifts from the sycophants
which surround him, and in reward
therefor appoints them to offices, the
duties of which they have not the abil.
ity to discharge the important trusts
Of which they have not the honesty to
keep. l ask you, fellow citizens, is he
free OF the suspicion of having

Letter from Rev Sylvanus Cobb Of Boston,
Of the "Chrstisn freeman"
BosroN, December "a, 1859.
Dear Sir-It may be some satisfac
ton to you to be informed of the re-
suit of the .trial of the "PERUvIAN
SYRUP" i'll my family, My daughter
was brought low by a typhoid fever
last spring. and after the fever left her
she continued very weak, and the sim
plest food distressed her. For months
she remained in the same debilitated
condition but from the lst Of Sep
TENDER last, when she commenced
taking the Syrup, the digestive func-
lions improved, and she steadily
gained strength and vivacity; and
now, having taken two bottles, she Is
restored to good state of health in
deed she appears more really healthy
than she has for several years past. l
am Of opinion that the "Pr toaide OF
Iron" contained in the Peruvian Syr
up, was adapted to her case, and ef-
tected what no other known medicine
could have effected.
Yours truly, S. COBB.
