as samples of the whole, % murders of
men, women, and children, II deaths
caused by violation, and 225 cases of out
RACES on Jewesses have been reported
Incendiary fires have made 10000 home
less people. For instance, on July 3rd,
5000 lost their homes at Minsk, 800
being deprived of every means of subsist-
ence. In Warsaw, in Christmas week.
800 houses and 600 shops were pillaged.
The value of the property destroyed has
been reckoned at $80,OO0OOO, and 1OO,-
900 families have been reduced to power

Presbyterianism in Victoria.
by the Special Correspondent of The .SydncD
Presbyterian

BY the Special Correspondent of The .Svdncv
Presbyterian.
Although l have been little over a
fol might in Melbourne, yet, having had
exceptional opportunities of feeling the
pulse of the Presbyterian Church in Vic
ttorla and of making observations per-
haps Presbyterians may not think your
correspondents impressions altogether
uninteresting. I had long known. that
our Church in New South Wales was
greatly outdone in bulk and influence BY
that in the sister colony; and l also be-
Ieved, in common with a great many,
that the Victorian Church was seriously
and widely tainted with heterodoxy. 4
word or two, then, on these points in
their order. Without doubt Presbyte
rlanism is externally, a great fact in Vic
toria; to use a favorite expression of
the Rev. J. l.. Rentoul, it has a very
pronounced visibility" If Won ask to
see the grandest church building in Mel
bourne, anybody will point you to Scots
Church, Collins Street; if you inquire for
the principal college you are directed to
Ormond, which, when completed. will
eclipse the University itself in size and
collegiate appearance; if you seek the
leading high class schools for both sexes
they are at hand in the Scotch COLLEGE,
and the Ladies Presbyterian College.
Then in driving through the most fash
lonable suburbs, such as Toorak and St
Kllda, where you are astonished at the
SIZE and architectural beauty of the
numerous mansions, you learn that bv
far the larger number of these are owned
and inhabited by Presbyterian squatters
professional men, and merchants. Tn
short the Presbyterians are quite in the
ascendant in Victorian society, as NAV
be seen, for instance from the fact that
out OF the thirty members Of the Legisla-
tive Council, at least fifteen are Presby-
terians. For good or evil then, the Pres
byterian Church of Victoria is a very
great power in the land, and altogether
dwarfs its elder sister, or, as some would
have 1T, its mother, in New South Wales.
Then, as to the inner life Of the church.
and this is after all, the most important
point from which we can view it. Is the
heart Of the Church right? Or is the de-
nomination drafting from the old moor
lngs into heterodoxy and latitudinarian-
ism? In answer to these queries I will
venture to give very decided expression
OF opinion. | have attended nearly all
the sittings of the late General Assem-
bly, have heard all that has been said
on the subject Of the Standards Of the
