The distanee traversed in boats seems to have been over three miles. Tbe Turks seem to have very stubborn resistance. bloody orrosmoN to the cbossino.

Tbe Prinoe of Wales referring to Gen. Grant in tbe aoarse of hia speeoh, said on tbe present occasion it is a matter of peon- liar gratification to us Englishmen to re. oeive as our guests Gen. Grant. [Cbaers] I oau assure him for myself and for all loyal subjects of tbe Queen that it baa given ns great pleasure to see him as a guest in this oountry.

Me said tbe strangers of all olasseB, men of letters, arts, soienoe, state and all that has been most worthy and great have, as it were, oome to this oentre of eivilization. I venture, without disparagement to any of those illlnsfrious guests, to say that never has there been one to whom wo willingly sooord s freer, fuller, heartier welcome than we do to Gen. Grant on this occasion, not merely beoause of a distinguished General, nor beoeuse be haB once filled tbe highest of fice whioh the citizens of his great ooun try oan give, bnt beoause we look upon him as representing that good will and affection whioh ought to subsist between ns and tbe United States. It has been my'dnty to be oonneoted with the great dominion of Canada, stretching several thousand milea along tbe frontier of the United States, and during tbe last three or four years, I oan truthfully say that nothing impressed me more than the in terchange of friendly and good offloes which took plaoe between the two coun tries under tbe anspioes of Gen. Grant. obant’b reply. General Grant replied that he felt more impressed than he had possibly ever felt before on any oooasion. He oame here under the impression that Ibis was Trin ity House, and that Trinity oonsistsd of tbe army, navy and peace. He, there fore, thought it was a place of quietude, where there would be no talk or toasts. He had been, therefore, naturally sur prised at bearing both. He bad beard some remarks from His Boysl Highness wbioh compelled him to Bay a word in response. He begged to thank His High ness for these remarks. There had been other things said during tbe evening high ly gratifying to him. Not the least grat ifying was it to bear that there were occa sionally, in this oountry, party fights as well as in Amerios. He bad seen before now s war between three departinenta of the State, tbe executive, the judioial and tbe legislative. He had not seen tbe politioal parties'of England go so far os tbst. Hs wonld imitate their chaplain, who had set a good example of CRstory, that was shortness, and say no more then simply thank His Boysl Highness and the oompsny on behalf of the visitors. Duke Nioholaa, but from s communica tion received from the Bussian Govern ment,hs thought that would set the matter right. A Eansrhuaclli Town Burned.

Dale Owen. looked not ss a man doth on outward ap pearance, but the real inwardness of thiDgs, (he destruction of foetal life is • crime, because in that destroyed germ lay impaoked and . vital the organism of on immortal body. I is a well ascertained faot that should be mentioned in connec tion with this subject, that this onme ie almost unknown among the Jews and ltoman Catholics. It is because among them life from its first oonoep- tion is guarded with religious osre, and tbe people are taught that the destruotion of offspring before birth is murder. Tbe people are instructed on this point with fervency and plainness of apeeob. Now, what the priests of these religions have done we ought to do. What the people need in a large majority of oases U light upon tbe question, so that ignorsnoe may not be pleaded ss a bar of guilt;, One of the biBhops of the Roman Ostholio Church thus writes: “The dootrine of the Catholic Church, her canons, her pon tifical constructions, bar theologians, without exception, teach, and constantly have taught, that the destruction of ha- man fcelns at any period from tbe first instant of conception is a heinous orime, equal at least iu guilt to that of murder. We find it distinctly condemned as such even aa far baok as the time of TertulUan —at tbe end of tbe seoond century—^who calls it ‘feitinalio Itomieidii,' a hastening of murder.” At tbe General Assembly of the Presby terian Church, held in New York iu 1860, a resolution was introduced, whioh, after stating the greatness and frequency of this crime, goes on to say, “We expeot those who have been oallod to preach tbs gospel, and all who love purity and truth and who wonld avert the just judgment of Almighty God from the ohuroh aud na tion, that they be no longer silent or tolerant of those things, bnt that they take a bold stand, that tbe floods of cor ruption aud oruelty may be stayed." Thun we find that nearly all bodies of Christians, as welt as God's ancient peo ple, are ready to act as one man sgainBt this evil, and it becomes us with discre tion, but with delioaoy, with firmness, and with fearlessness, to speak ont as oppor tunity will be given, warning words and Christian oounsels. Let not the Jewish rab bi Bud the Roman prieBt outdo us in this effort to oheok this great social and moral evil, whiob, wo are told by eminent phy sicians in all parts of the oountry, is eat ing at tbe very marrow and life of the family constitution ordained and blessed of God.

P. Johnson, of Washington, D. C., was appointed receiver of the National Rank of the Stale of Missouri. Naval Officer Dead. Philadelphia, June 25.—Captain W. W. Lows, of tbs United Statss navy, is dead. The following ia a portion of tbo annual address of Bishop Stevens, of the Episco pal Ohuroh of Philadelphia. A few weeks ago a large meeting of in fluential citizens was held at Association Hall, at whioh measures were taken, with the oo-operation of the Medical Society, of Philadelphia, to oheok, by legal aud moral moans, the evil resulting from Ibe circulation of ohsoene literature and pre- natsl murder. I regretted that I was pre vented from being present, as tbe sub jects under consideration are of the greatest import to the community. Such evils, for fear of offending delioaoy, are suffered to pass on iu silenoe, until the very enormity of their growth orios out for repressive legislation. This licentious literature must not be suffered to insidu- ously undermine personal purity and child hood's innocence without vigorous efforts to stop such sapping and demoralizing work, and punish those who arc engaged in this nefarious trsfiio. It becomes us, brethren, to throw the whole weight of our influence as laymen, as clergymen, against the stealthy ad vanoes of this foal literature, this moral pestilence freighted with physical and moral diseases, and tending to the eternal ruin of soul and body. Intimately related to this subjeot is an other sooial ovil, confined to a narrow circle, and covered np mostly among the • seorecieH of domestic life, bnt wbioh has so oropped out of late into bitter fruits, and is so fall of preseut and prospective evils to tbe individual, to tbo family, and to the Church of God, that psinful as it is to uientiou it, I feel it my duty to call your attention to it. I do this even at the risk of offending some who think it unwise to speak of suoh a thing iu promiscuous assembly. I refer to the orime of the destruction of anti-natal life. This has been called by physicians a fash ionable orime. Statistics prove that it is a wide-spread and deep-rooted crime; that it appears among those whose social and even religious standing is paomineut and above suspicion, and that, in oonse quence of ignoranoc as to the nature of tbeir acts, multitudes of refined and del icate women are guilty of destroying life before it oomes to birth. This orime is according to medieal statistics steadily ou the inorease. The percentage of still births is nearly fourfold more now than seventy years ago, and, at this ratio, it will tell more forcibly than it does now, not only upon the increase of population, but in deteriorating tbe moral senso of tbe commnnity and dwarfing ourdomestio circles. It is a orime done mostly to pre vent inconvenience and Buffering ; to avoid the labor and expense of rearing ehildren, and indulge more freely in tbe pleasures and frivolities of fashionable life. That this aot of fcBtioide is a taking of human life ia prove by all tbe research es of physiology and the testimony of the whole mediosl profession, so that there oan he no shadow of donbt as to its gnilt on any reasonable end intelligent mind. Yet thonsands of mothers, moved by va rious selfish considerations, do this igno rantly, without one thought of sin, aud wbo wonld be shooked did they bnt know the physical and moral evil whioh they were bringing on themselves and on the oommunity. It iB not seemly to discuss a subjeot like this in the pulpit, yet the clergy as the ouatodians of God’a commandments should be ready at ail proper times to sbow tbst tbe sixth commandment, is brokeu by pre ss well ss post-natal mur der, and that in tha sight of Him who VEGETINE Mood, restoring tho liver and I action, invigorating the nervous system.
