The Jews of Palestine.
! Threatened Famine. —Recent accounts from the Holy
Land represent ihe condition of the Jews in that country
ns most lamentable ; and there is abundent evidence that
tlu-so people are suffering great distress from destitution.
Their sufferings have been occasioned partly by the fail
ure of the last harvest, which lias raised the price of food
I to an enormous height, and partly by the present war and
j political disturbances, and tlie diminution of the resources
i for the support of the poor derived from other countries.
| Sir Moses Montefiore, an eminent Hebrew of London,
S lately returned from a visit to the lioly Land, lias pub
lished an appeal in behalf of the sufferers, in which he
says:
I learn that ‘fathers in Israel —men profondly learn in
the law, who so that they may die near the graves of our
forefathers, submit to live in tne most abject poverty —are
now impelled, by the very love they have for their chil
dren to seli them to the stranger, ‘so, to use their own
words, ‘that their offspring may bo spared death—death
from starvation.’ ”
The Hebrews ot Jerusalen have also issued an “Appeal
to the Congregations of Great Britain and America.”—
i The following arc extracts :
Brethren of the house of Israel, who sojourn in happy
| England and America, arouse yourselves and save from
annihilation the remnant of the faithful watchers of Zion
and Jerusalem.
We lack the power to give oven a faint idea of the
misery we are enduring ; every heart has become sick—
every tongue stricken dumb.
Behold, we are utterly prostrated—both in mind and in
body, incompetent to proclaim the severity of the visita
tion that is consuming us.
Starvation and pestilence walk hand in hand, and the
wail of the poor, the widow and the orphan is borne on
tlie air. It. is difficult to say whose sufferings are the
greater, the miseries of those born under the sun of Ju
dea, or of the holy pilgrins from distant lands. All clas
ses of society, all grades and conditions, have become
united in the brotherhood of woe , heads of synagogues
and their pious servitors, learned rabbis and their scholars,
mix in the crowd to supplicate and beg a mouldly crust.—
Even that assistance which has hitherto reached us from
our bretheren in the Russian and Turkish dominions, is
now, in consequence of the war, cutoff.
“Words Govern Mankind.
Were Faust living at the present day among the scenes
and circumstances that surround us, he would not find it so
difficult to reconcile “the word” with “the power.” The
The maxim which we have adopted as the caption of our
article was once quoted, approvingly,by Allison, the great
est oftories, from Napoleoiqthe greatest ot conquerors; and
if such be tho sentiment of men living under the narrow and
constrained influence of monarchy, how much more strong
ly may we indorse that sentiment in onr own country.—
From the time when the mask was torn from the hydra of
| liberty, equality, and fraternity, in the French revolution,
| we might have had reason to hope that statesmen would
j look more to the great practicable idea than to array of
words in which it might be robed. But these hopes have
aU-proved to be illusive, and we must acknowledge with
pain, that even in the freest government ofthc world, there
exist a gross misapprehension of the true principles of free
dom.
Wc have been led to make these reflections, trite as they
may appear,from the unceasing attack yet made upon the
souih in regard to an institution which has protected her in
a pre-eminent degree from all the host of absurdities sprung
[ from the prolific womb of that coarse old beldam “ Ism;’’
1 end particularly from a deliberate attack madein'the “State
| ot Maine” newspaper oi the Hrh inst. upon the policy of thc
south in regard to the extension ot slavery. The only view
I that it unnecessary to take in relation to the subject is, that
! me recognition of the institution in our supreme law should
j shield it Irorn the attacks even of its enemies, and that the
! light of ilia States to an equal participation in the acquisi
i lion of new territory, is a recognition of the principle of its
j extension.
Wc are frequently called upon to deplore the scenes ot
j riot and the triumph of mob law in some ofthc northern
; cities. Front these the south arc free ; and we have no
| doubt, that it the question were asked, as it was once asked
of the church by the apostles, “From whence come wars
and fighting among you,” the answer would be that they
came from an absence ofthc conservative influence which
slavery wields over a republican government. The,neces
sity which exists of pandering to the depraved taste of the
uneducated mob, must have its effect even upon the patriot
ic statesmen of tlie north.
Radicalism is the result ofa high state of civilization upon
a weak and narrow mind, and where front the daily immi
gration of a tide of bread seeking foreigners, and the dense
population of our commercial cities, the weak and the
narrow prevail over wisdom and the conservatism, the re
sult is inevitable. Such we believe to be the natuial ten
dency of the masses when unchecked by the wholesome
influence of African slavery, aud we have fittle hesitation in
assorting that this element in our institutions has often been,
and may yet be, the only safeguard to the success ofthc
great experiment ot tree government.
“But, says tho Stale of Maine., “he (the slave) seems
veiv happy in tho southern States, as the advocates of
slavery say ; but, whenever he has an opportunity, he makes
haste to escape from those blessings.
To this malicious taunt, we reply ; First, that if the slave
be impatient ot bis condition at the South, it is due not to
the rigor of the Southern master, but to the officious inter
meddling of Northern Abolitionists. Second, that if South
ern slaves do “make haste to escape from the blessings of
home,” they are allured by the juggling fiends of abolition
who keep the work of promise to the ear, and it to the hope;
and Third, that il the argument holds good at all, it proves
the interior happiness of the Northern freeman, who is too
often happy to escape from the riotous society of Ifeesoil to
the more genial and quiet retreat of Southern life.
We leave the subject here, and end as wc began, by the
declaration that the true idea of happiness may be sacrificed
by the mere breath of freedom, and that ‘words govern
mankind.” [Washington Sentinel.
Motials of Fashionable Life in New York. —The
New York Times, under the had of “Morals of Fushion
jble Society,” gives us a most revolting picture of social
corruption among the fashionable classes of New York.
It draws this picture as a specimen of a class :
Let us enter that magnificent house, with the brown
stone front, aud the winter garden jutting out from the
main building, and one of the shutters of each window
halt’ olc-’cd, in order that the passers by may see that they
are of tho finest satin-wood picked out w ith gold. Pass
ing through large drawing-rooms cn suite , and divided
by Moriseo-arches, we will softly enter the little boudoir
on the left, where, in the midst of the dim light that steals
through tho windows, stained a pale rose color, a lady re
clines in a luxurious fauteuil. reading. She is very love
ly. Her drees is orientally rich and picturesque, hut an
air cf terrible languor overspreads her beauty. While
she is finishing that bad chapter in the worst of Paul de
Rock’s novels, we will tell you a few facts about lic-r.
The young lady, it appears, was brought up to make a
good match, and received her intellectual and moral
training at fashionable boarding schools and watering
| places. She married tor an establishment. Iler husband,
soon finding out her heartlessness, betook himself to the
clubs, while she entertained herself with corrupt French
novels and criminal flirtations. “Our fashionable society
in this city,” continues the Times, “is a sham, from be
gining to end. It is utterly unsound, depraved, and un
natural—a deceptive piece of rotten wood, made to look
shiny with French polish, and glittering with the phos
phorescent light cf corruption—a copper cent, trying its
very best to look like a five-franc piece, aud, what is worse,
in nine casses out of ten succeeding.
Bad Stale of Morals. —The New Orlaens Delta
makes the following melancholy confession of the condi 1
tioii of affairs in that city:
“Although the murders in New Orleans average 1 in
every twelve Lours, this, (the conviction of Frank Smith
i for tfie murder of his wife) is the second conviction, with
out qualification for the last eight years ! T. ere is a fault
somewhere, and it should be remedied. So many mur
ders, assassinations, fights, drowning, and “found dead,”
should lead to some endeavors for their stoppage. As it
is, no one is ever found guilty of murder here, and those
who are convicted of manslaughter aid only sent to Ba
ton Rouge for a term of years. We hope the wrong will
be remedied, but have no reason to suppose it will be.—
A jury eaunot be empannelled in New Orleans who will
find any man guilty of murder if they can help it. The
universal judgment is—“ Every man take care of him
self.'’

Patrick Henry’s Son.
Honor's a puff of Noisv Breath.— Tlie youngest
sou ol Patrick Henry died not long ago, poor and alone
in a public house in Flovd county, Virginia. Recently
the tavern people applied to the overseers of the poor, for
a special grant to indemnify him for boarding funeral ex
peases, &c. This was refused ou the ground that retro
spective appropriations are authorized, and that it would
be establishing an improper precedent. 1 called to see the
old man some months before he died ; his given name
was Nathaniel. He said he was young when his father
died, but he remembered him perfectly, and was pleased
to talk about him. His clothes were clean, but not whole.
There was evidently a struggle between his pride of an
cestry and his present poverty. 116 had been teaching
what is here called an old field school, for amusement, as
he insinuated, but from necessity, as I knew, llis health
failing he removed to a hotel in Jacksonville,and was kept
by the host a year or more, who presumed that some re
latives or friends would defray his expenses. He died
with dropsy of the ciiest, in a few moments after the op
eration of tapping had been performed by Dr. Stuart.
The Legislature of Virginia was appropriating thou
sands on a marbie statue to the father, at the very time
the son was begging his bread. Lay your head upon your
hand, ye restless pursuers of the bubbles of earth, and
think, ves, think of such Ic-ssous of tho world's emp
tiness.
The British Troops in Turkey. — A correspondent
of one of the London journals, writing from Gallipoli,
gives tlie following description of a review of British troops
there:
All the men are as red in the face as turkeycocks—
they se< m gasping for breath—they are indeed sorely dis
tressed. for a rigid band of leather, rendered quite relent
less by fibres and buckles of brass, is fixed tightly round
their throats, and their knapsacks are tilled to the pitch
of mortal endurance, so that it requires the aid of a coni,
fade for each man to get his on his back. The coat is
buttoned up tightly, also, to aid the work of suffocation ;
and belts and buckles compress the unhappy soldier where
he most requires ease and the unrastrieted play of the
muscles. Regiment after regiment reaches the parade
ground ; if one follows them he will see how men drop
out, exhausted and half-smotliered, aud at what a vast
amount of physical inconvenience all this solidity and ri
gidity of aspect are acquired. Take one fact.—ln a sin
gle company that left Bulair —ninety men—so many fell
out on the march to Soulari, a distance of six miles or
thereabouts, that the Captain reached the camping ground
with only 20 men.
Some of the English papers are very angry with the
writers of letters like this, and insist that they are injur
ing the British cause by telling lira truth. The London
Times, however is courageous to think the truth ought to
he told, it says :
Our troops are dressed in a manner the most incon
venient, the most unbecoming, and the most unhealthy
that it is possible to imagine. Loaded like a dray horse,
belted and strapped in like a dandy of the time of George
IV., throttled by his stock, extinguished by his helmet, and
compressed to suffocation by his belts, the British soldier
appears by the side of his French rival a monument of our
folly and our obstinancy, an impersonation of the blunders
of the past, and a discredit to the enlightenment of the
present and all this evil is incurred because tliero is no
authority strong “enough to interfere with the profits of
clothing colonels, and to rescue the soldier from tyrany of
custom and the iron dominion of routine. We offer up
our kilted Highlanders inglorious victims to the insects of
the Dobrudseha, and our pipeclayed soldiers as a holocaust
to the burning sun of Thrace, merely because this was
the dress in which the triumphs of the last war were
achieved, —careless of sickness, careless of misery, cure
less of inefficiency, so long as we can have the satisfaction
that we have innovated nothing on the absurdities of our
ancestors.
Tno last Rumor From Europe.
Washington is agog to-day with a story that Governor
Seymour, United States Minister at St. Petersburg, lias
got into a terrible snarl with Nicholas and his court, ow
ing to his refusal to appear in court dress on State occas
ions, &c. According to various versions of this story
Governor S.’s independent stand in the premises lias crea
ted tremendous sensation at St. Petersburg, and threatens
to dissolve diplomatic, relations between Russia and tlie
United States, Are.
Now, the reference to all this, wc have to say that on
Saturday morning last nearly every European delegation
in Washington, received despatches from St. Petersburg,
direct. The State Department, too, is said to have long
communications from Governor Seymour at the same
time. No member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs
of either House of Congress is aware that any such infor
mation was conveyed to this Government in the despatch
es in question, which are believed to contain a full account
of the reception of our minister.
Now we have further to add, that in more or less of the
letters to the European legations here, referred to above,
it is stated that the reception of Governor S. was so oordial
as to be a nine day’s wonder in St. Petersburg; the Em
peror taking him by the hand—a very extraordinary act
on his part—and shaking it with vehemence, both on his
introduction to and exit from “the presence.” It will be
remembered that court etiquette does not permit crowded
heads to indulge in band-shaking with the uncrowned, us
ually. Hence the remarks current in St. Petersburg
about the affair. — Washington Star.
The Forged Bonds of the Territory of Flori
da. —In virtue ofan act of the legislature of the Territory
of Florida, passed in March, 1830, one hundred bonds of
SIOOO each, were to have been issued by the Governor
of that territory, bearing his signature aud that of the Se
cretary, to raise money for territorial war purposses.—
They were issued accordingly, and five additional ones
were issued, that number having been stolen by an assist
ant Quarter-master of the territorial service, called Col.
Robert Armstrong, after being signed by the territorial
Secretary and Treasurer, but before the Governor had
signed them. The fact of the theft became known to the
Treasury Department here in 1842, and a watch was kept
for them for some years; but they were not presented at
the Treasury for redemption—Congress having ordered
tlie redemption of the SIOO,OOO, which had been raised
for military purposes. That is, they were not presented
until the theft had been forgotten here. Last year, how
ever, one of them turned up, having been forwarded here
by a New Orleans banking house, with whom it had been
left for collection. It was duly paid, principal interest,
amounting to more than $2,000 ; subsequently two more
of them have been sent on for the money. The Third
Auditor had reason to believe that they were the missing
bonds, and having duly investigated the affair by corres
pondence with the present Governor of Florida, has posi.,
tively ascertained that they are a porton of the bonds stol
en, its above described. Means have therefore been tak
en to recover the amount already paid from the Treasury,
on account of them, and to arrest those who have been
knowingly engaged in perpetrating the fraud.
Acquisition of Cuba—Speech of Mr. Chastain.
The House of Representatives on Saturday went into
committee on the Pacific railroad bill. Mr. Chastain ad
dressed the committee, advocating that immediate steps
be taken for the acquisition aud annexation of Cuba.
Tho following condensed report of his remarks is from
the Washington Union:
Mr. Chr.stain, of Georgia, addressed the committee to
show that the time had arrived when the interests of this
country demand that Cuba should change hands. This
was demanded as well by social as by agricultural, com
mercial, and political interests. Notwithstanding this,
he was aware that there were persons who would oppose
this acquisition ; but opposition had also been raised a
gainst the acquisition of Louisiana and Florida, the an
nexation of Texas, and the war with Mexico, which end
ed in the acquisition of California, but those opponents
wondered at the great results ot those measure?, the wis
dom and importance of which were now generally ac
knowledged.
Mr. C. stated his reasons for advocating the acquisition
of Cuba from Spain by negotiations. He said that the
Africanization of Cuba, what ever was said to the contra•
ry, was contemplated. There was no doubt but France
and England would support such a change, aud there was
no time for delay. This was the time to “seize the bull
by tlie horns,” and to show the tricolors that the st irs
and stripes were destined to wave wherever Brit sli,
French, or Spanish dared to influence the settled policy
of the United States government. With regard to Cuba,
where that contemplated outrage was to be perpetrated,
such iuterfereneo on the part of foreign powers would not
be tolerated for a moment by the North or South. He
contended that it was tor the House to show its deter
mined opposition to such an obscene violation of social life
and domestic decency as the Africanization of Cuba, and
to act accordingly.
The time for action was propitious. France, England
and Turkey were at war with Russia. Harsh things had
been said of the last named power ; but, in his humble
opinion, it was more sinned against than sinning. At the
outset he was inclined to sympathize with Turkey, but his
judgment, after calm consideration, told him to side with
Russia. American people had never suffered oppression
at tlie hands of Russia, and the domestic institutions ot
Ithis country had never been assailed by her. Our cotru
morce with that nation was at once extensive and profita
ble, whilst from Turkey we had nothing to expect and
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
nothing to exact. Her flags we were willing to transfer
to England, and her cates to France ; and he trusted we
should never become a party to an entangling alliance to
protect her rights. The cause of Russia should be respec
ted, if not supported, by the American people. Show
him tite instance in which Russian aggression upon our
commerce had not been promptly atoned for ; show him
the instance ot complaint that had not received respectful
attention and a just response, it was true Russia was a
despotism ; but what friends to American liberty were
France, England and Turkey more than was Russia.
In cc lelusioa, Mr. C. remarked that Spain must yield
Cuba, and France and England must submit. If Spain
refused liberal compensation, she must take the conse.
quenees. It was neoesity which demanded the sacrifice
on her part and that sacrifice would redound to the hap
piness of the human family. We should, he repeated,
take action at once for the acquisition of Cuba. Wo
should call on Spain to name her terms. If she would not
consent lie would go for open, undisguised war to obtain
possession ol it. If they were to eoine into collisiom w ith
that power for the acquisition of that island, let the strife
come—the sooner the better.
From tho “Boletia Extiaordinario del Gobierno del Sal
vador,” of May 2.
Ituin of the City oi San Salvador.
* * * Quis talia fandb
Temperet a lacrimis.—Virgil.
The night of the 16ih of April, 1854, will ever bo one of
sad and bitter memory tor the people of Salvador. On that
unfortunate night our happy and beautiful capital was made
a heap of ruins. Movements of the earth were felt on the
morning of Holy Thursday, preceded by sounds like the
rolling of heavy artillery over pavements, and like distant
thunder. The people were a little alarmed in consequence
of this phenomenon, but it did not prevent them from meet
ing in the churches to celebrate the solemnities of the day.
On Saturday all was quiet, and eonlideuee was restored.
The people of the neighborhood assembled, as usual, to
celebrate the Passover. The night of Saturday was tran
quil, as was also the whole of Sunday. The heat, it is
true, was considerable, but the atmosphere was calm and
serene. For the first three hours of the evening nothing
unusual occurred ; but at half-past nine a severe shock of
an earthquake, occurring without the usual preliminary
noises, alarmed the whole city. .Many families lei t their
houses and made encampments iu the public squares while
others prepared to pass the night in their respective court
yards.
Finally, at ten minutes to eleven, without premonition of
any kind, the earth began to heave and tremble with such
fearful torce that in ten seconds the entire city was pros
trated. The crashing of hoi‘l” and churches stunnea the
ears of the terrified inhabit, ms, while a cloud of dust from
the falling r uns enveloped them in a pall of impenetrable
darkness. Hot a drop oi water could be got to relieve the
half-choked and suffocating, tor the wells and fountains
were filled up or made dry.’ The clock tower of the Ca
thedral carried a great part of the edifice with it in its fall.
The towers of the church of San Francisco crushed the
Episcopal Oratory and part of the palace. The church of
Santo Domingo was buried beneath its towers and the col
lege of the Assumption was entirely ruined. The now and
beautiful edifice of the University was demolished. The
church of the Merced separated in the centre, and its waifs
fell outward to the ground. Os the private houses a few
were kit standing, but all were rendered uninhabitable, it
is worthy of remark that the walls left standing are old
one; a.l those of modern construction have fallen. Tho
public edifiees of the government and city shared the com
mon destruction
The devastation was effected, as we have said, in the first
ten seconds ; for although the succeeding shocks were tre
mendous and accompanied by fearful rumblings beneath
our feet, they had comparatively trifling results, tor the rea
son that the first had leit but little lor their ravages.
Solemn and terrible was the picture presented on that
dark, funeral night, of a whole people clustering in the
plaza, and ou their knees, crying with loud voices to heaveu
for mercy, or in agonizing accents calling for their children
and friends, whicti I hey believed to be buried beneath the
ruins. A heaven opaque and ominous; a movement of tlte
earth rapid and unequal, causing a terror indiscribable ; an
intense sulphurous odor filling the atmosphere, and indicat
ing an approaching eruption of the volcano ; streets fillet!
with ruins or overhung by threatening walls; a suffocating
cloud of dust almost rendering aspiration impossible ; suetr
was the spectacle presented by the unhappy eity on that me
morable aud awful night 1
A hundred boys were shut up iu the college, many inva
lids crowded the hospitals, and the barracks were full of
soldiers. The sense of the catastrophe which must have
befallen them, gave poignaucy to the first moments of re
flection after the earthquake was over. It was believed that
at least a fourth part otthe inhabitants had been hurried be
neath the ruins. The members of the government, how
ever, hastened to ascertain, as far as practicable, the extent
of the catastrophe, and to quiet the public mind. It was
found that the loss of life had been much less than was sup
posed, and U now appears probable that the number of the
killed will not exceed one hundred, and of wounded fitly.
Among the latter is the Bishop, who received a severe blow
on the head ; the late President, Senor Duenas; a daughter
of the President, and the wife of the Secretary of the Legis
lative Chambers—the latter severely.
Fortunately the earthquake has not been followed by
rains, which gives an opportunity to disinter tho public ar
chives, as also many of the valuables contained in the dwel
lings of the citizens.
‘1 iie movements ot the earth still continue, with strong
shock?, ami the people, fearing a general swallowing up of
the site ot the city, or that it may be hurried under some
sudden efuptiou ot the volcano, are hastening away, taking
with them their household goods, the sweet memories of
their infancy, and their domestic animals, perhaps the only
property letr for the support of their families exclaiming
with Virgil, “Nos pa trite fines ct dulia linquimus area.”
The Missing Steamer City of Glasgow—An^A fleeting
Story.
Tito Jersey Pdue has the following aiTecting story :
During the latter part of our career in the Philadelphia
post office, we became acquainted, among the mass of hu
man beings whose faces appeared daily at the “General
Delivery Window,” where we were stationed, with an
intelligent, happy looking Englishman, of about forty
five years of age, who came frequently to inquire for let
ters from home. He was a man of pleasing manners,
and evidently had been well educated and accustomed to
the refinements and elegancies of really good society,
Being a stranger on our shores, he was glad to avail him
self of art opportunity of conversing with us, and spoke
freely of his past and of Iris hoped for future.—
He had come over to Philadelphia, bringing with him a
little son, apparently about twelve years of age, to select
a residence for the rest of his family which he had left in
England, and to make all the arrangements necessary to
their comfort when they should arrive. He had accom
plished this—had taken and furnished a house in Phila
delphia, and was expecting letters from his wife, inform
ing him of her sailing with their other children in the
steamer City of Manchester.
We handed him a letter—it spoke of her expectation
to sail in that steamer, and he went'away with such gLd
anticipations as might supposed to fifl the heart of a hus
band and father long absent from the wife and children
whom he soon expected to meet and embrace again. A
few days passed, and another foreign mail and with it a
letter to our friend from hi? : fe, saying that she had not
been able to make her arrangements in time to sail in tbo
Manchester, but that toe houid certainly sail in the
Glasgow. tsmc time alter t.iis, letters came, which she
had mailed at the time of embarking in this ship, and ho
was unspeakably happy with the almost certainty of see
ing Ids wife and children in a very few days, for the New
York mail steamers generally make the passage but a few
days sooner than our screw steamers. .Soon he, with
with many others, commenced going down every day to
Queer, street wharf to look for the incoming steamer.
But who shall speak of the horrors to come 1 Day
after coy did he, with the many others on that sad wall#,
go do’- n to the wharf and strain his vision to descry
among the numerous vessels down the river the anxiously’
expected steamer. We saw him when tho vessel had
been some thirty days out, and were startled at his appear
ance. The plump, happy seeming face of one month be
fore waa haggard as the face of death, the eyes that so
shortly before we had seen dance in the light of inward
joy, w'ere bloodshot, wild, and glaring upon us with a ma
niac expression. He walked mopingly away, but his face
haunted, ns still. A few days after this, a steamer arrived
bringing the report that a vessel somewhat resembling
the Glasgow had been seen off the Bahamas ; this re
port brought him to us again. Oh, how that false hope
brightened on his countenance 1 llis eyes had regained
their expression of intelligence, and he clung to this
baseless hope as a drowning maH to a str aw'.
YV'e left the post office a few days after this. Yester
day we inquired concerning this wretched man, and was
told that he had been lor some time in the lunatic asylum,
a raving maniac. May God reward him in eternity.
A Wolf is SiiEEr’s Clothisu.—Most persons in this
community are aware of the painful rumor which reached
here some two months since, in ‘.regard to the Rev. Dr.
Hamilton, of Mobile. It was but little spoken of, because
the crime (Sodomy,) charged upon liim, was of so disgus -
ing and vile a nature, that few could believe the report *
Art exchange paper speaking of this matter says:
W hen investigation made his guilt apparent, the indig
nation ot tae people ot Mobile was freely expressed, and
the Reverend gentleman was compelled to flee from the
city, or risk the chances of life in the hands of an infuriated
mob.
Tbo fact of Dr. Hamilton’s guilt is no longer a matter of
doubt. The Presbytery of South Alabama, which met in
Mobile on the ISth’ult., adopted the following resolution :
Resolved, That in view of the confessions of tbe Rev.
Wm. T. Hamilton, D. D.,made by him, and contained in
his letters addressed to the session and congregation of tiro
Government street Church, and to this Presbyter, he be and
is hereby deposed from the ministry, and also suspended
from the sacraments of the Church, till he give satisfactory
evidence of the sincerity of his repentance.’ ite Ex,
