AGENCY IN NORFOLK. VM. E. POSTER, Eso, is the Agent for the DAILY DISPATCH in Norfolk, the circulation of the paper there having increased to an extent demanding perronal attention to its distribution, the collection of dues, de. 9TE Christian Lawyer." the Claims of CHRISTIAN LAWYER, or delivertianity on the Legal Profession, a discourse funeral of RICHARD W.

in ed at the Church, Richmond, Dos. 1at. the First Presbyterian D. MACTARLANE FERBy Rev. T.

V. Moore, orssos, printers. discourse is handsomely printed, and is one of The the best we have ever seen, from its eloquent and author. The text' St. Mark 15, 43, scholarly honorable counsellor, which also waited for the Kingdom of In this admirable disconrse, Dr.

MooRs proceede to show "that Christianity, 50 far from being inconsistent with the legal suppose) has some peculiar claims sion, (as some it; and that, so far is the religion of the Bible mpon from being an impediment in a lawyer's way, it is which be bas peculiar reasons for thing and that whilst it is a high tribute to embracing; his professional character, that he is "an honorable counsellor," that climat is only reached in that when we can add, "he also waits for the character, kingdom of God." That portion of the sermon which treats of "the relation that the Bible holds to the hisimportant tory of human Jaw," etrikes 118 as peculiarly interesting and instructive. Dr. Moore shows that not only the moral law delivered through the mouth of Moses, bears the mark of perfect wisdom and of inspiration, which mankind have never been able to change or to improve upon, but that in the civil and national law of the Jews, which was intended for them alone, will be found much that is valuable in the civil and common law of later times. We wish that we had space to transfer to our columns the specifications of the various particulars in which the Mosaic laws have not been surpassed by the enactments of any code, espocially in regard to personal rights, and the transactions of ordinary life; the greater humanity of Hebrew legislation; the Hebrew equivalent to the trial by Jury, and sensible regulations for the transmission of property; the counterpart of the checks and balances of our own constitutional law which existed in the admirable adjustments of the Hebrew Commonwealth. Suffice it to say that Dr.

Moore justly maintains that the Hebrew laws have mingled with all the later flow of human history. and have come throngh Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome to the legislation of all modern times; that the "roots of the mighty system of modern law reach not merely to dark mould of the Middle Ages, nor to the piflare of the Forum, nor the rocky base of the Areopagus, but farther, deeper still, until we find them twisted in living and inseparable embrace around the fire clad rocks of Sinol." This excellent discourse is in all respects worthy ita distinguished and esteemed author, and of the solemn occasion on which it was pronounced. Fair for St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. The ladies of St.

Peter's Church 'are now Ing a Fair on Governor street, to enable St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum of this city to provide accommodations for the increasing number of orphans whom their beneficent kindness has rescued from poverty and suffering, and is preparing to become. useful members of society. The number of orphan children in this asylum is forty-five, 8 number which has compelled the excellent ladies who have them in charge to put up additional buildings, and it is to aid in defraying the cost of these, that the elegant Fair on Governor street, has been gotten up. We feel that no appeal is necessary to the humane and benevolent for aseistance in such a cause.

Whilst there is a great difference of religious belief among Christians, there is one point upon which they all agree, and that is, that no kind of faith which does not bring forth fruits of charity and of mercy, will avail at that tribunal in which every act of compassion done to the poor, the sick, the prisoner, for Christ's sake, will be regarded as done to him. What objects so stir up the fountains of henan sympathy, 8.8 young children, deprived in their most tender years, of their natural protectors, the little barks drifting helplessly about on the bleak shores of life, without pilot or compass? Who would not, if he could, call down to earth Him who walked on the waters of the stormy lake, and rescued the apostles from threatened shipwreck, and invoke him to tread the angry billows of this sea of human sorrow, and with His own beneficent and almighty hand, guide the orphan voyagers to a baven of security? Who would not rejoice once more to see this good Shepherd, rescuing those lambs from the wolves of poverty and vice, and carrying them in His bosom Yet, all these, the benevolent and the merciful may do, in His stead, and He will regard it as done by Himself. Surely, charity bestowed under such auspices, as the depnties of Christ, and with such a recompense in view as He has himself held out, is rather a privilege than a duty, and will verify the words of Holy is more blessed to give than to receive." A holy apostle has said, "Pure religion and undefiled la to visit the fatherless and the widow in their affliction and to keep thyself unspotted from the world!" Let us then visit the fatherless children, by aiding the Orphan Asylums of our city, both male and female. Let us pluck from the gloomy caves of destitution and ignorance, "many A gem of purest ray serene," which shall be an ornament and blessing to society, and throw a ray of Inetre upon the dark valley of the shadow of death. Attractive Objects.

We beg to call the attention of our readers to the Stereoscopic views advertised by Mr. MORRIS.Jo 80 doing, we are conferring a public benefit. for, apart from the pleasure derived from beautiful works of art, there must be a great saving of time and money in foreign travel, when every man can bring all the classical localities, renowned landscapes and magnificent specimens of architecture, which Europe boasts, within his own doors. To see the Alps, St. Peter's, Paris, Windsor Castle, or any other object of European interest, through this stereoscopic medium, is quite as good as seeing them in reality.

Most of our readers have seen the stereoscopic likenesses, whereby the daguerreotype picture viewed through glasses, is enlarged to the size of life. The ambrotypes of foreign scenes are in like manner magnified, and every minute feature of the landscape brought out, even to the very ruts of the carriage wheels. The snow-covered Alps, -the glaciers, the cities, rivers, monuments and churches of the old world are before you, accurately reflected in the faithful ambrotype, and looking as large and natural 89 life. It is almost impossible to particularize among so many striking objects, but the Coliseum, 8t. Peter's, and the Cathedral of Cologne, are worth going to Europe to see, and certainly to Morris's to buy.

We had never imagined that there was anything in the works of man go tran scendently beautiful as the Cathedral of Cologne. Personalities in Preaching. The inhabitants of State street--the Wall howl as they lay in their University Literary Magazine. We have received the January number of the street of Boston--must have coneidered the Rev. Mr.

Mr. Finney, in a discourse on "Moral Honesty," at Boston, a fety evenings since, saye: "Go down on State street, gather together all the moral bonesty there is to be found there, gire it a thorough sifting, and what a mournful spectacle would turn up to view! He further discourses on "Funeral Sermons:" "I sometimes wish people could attend their own funerals. Could some men hear the eulogies pronounced upon their characters for moral honand esty, after their deaths, how they whould shriek University Literary Magazine. It is really an ad.

mirable number. There are some capital things in it. We congratulate the young gentlemen connected with it upon this brilliant beginning of the year. The Concert To Night.

On motion of Mr. CLAIBORNE, the Kansas resolutions introduced by Mr. COGHILL, yesterday, were called up. In calling them up, Mr. C.

said that even if the Lecompton constitution contained the frands mentioned yesterday by the Senator from Angusta, he should vote for the reception of KanHAS with it, and leave to the federal judiciary the detection and prevention of those frauds. Even if it contained the odious tenets of the Mormons, there was nothing in the constitation of the United States to reject it. lle thought the resolutions should be adopted. We owed it to those gallant Democrats of the North who had so freely sacrificed interest to principle, that we should stand by and encourage them in the position they had assumed on this question. The following are the resolutions: Resolved.

By the General Assembly of Virginia, the conclusion to which the President of the United States has arrived, as expressed in his recent message, in favor of the admission sf Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton constitution, is just and right. 21. Resolved, That Congress has no right to look further into the constitution submitted by the State of Kansas, in its application to be admitted into this Union, than to see that the said constitution is Republican in its form. 3d. Resolved, That it is due to the peace and har mony of this Union, that Congress should speedily admit Kansas as a State under the Lecompton constitution, without further conditions.

Mr. THOMAS asked a division of the question, which was done, and the first resolution was taken up. Mr. DENEALE was opposed to the first resolution, because it seemed to endorse, yet not endorse the action ofthe President. It was faint in its praise and doubtful in its eulogy.

He was also opposed to the second resolution, and would offer the following as a substitute for the series: Resolved, by the General Assembly of Virginia, That so much of the late annual message of the President as relates to the admission of Kansas into the Union, with the Lecompton constitution, under all the circumstances connected therewith, is right and proper. Mr. WARTH favored the original resolutions. Mr. STUART had prepared a series of resolutions to offer this morning, but finding from the feeling of the Senators that no substitute would be tolerated, he would not offer them.

He saw that the dominant party had converted a national question into a party question, and in doing 80 they had treated the minority as aliens, and had excluded them from their consultation. Comparing dates, he thought he understood very well that these resolutions had been drawn up in caucus in reply to a letter which the executive of the State had lately written, professing to speak the opinions of the Democracy. Conceiving it, therefore, to be a family imbroglio, he would adopt the principle of non-intervention, and ask to be excused from voting on all questions, arising out of the resolutions. Mr. COGHILL defended the resolutions at some length.

Mr. DENALE withdrew his substitute. Mr. DOUGLASS, in reply to Mr. STUART, said that if the resolutions contained sound principle and strict truth, he could not see what injury they could sustain from having been the offspring of a caucus; and he would appeal to the gentlemen of the opposition not to withhold their support.

He would vote for the resolutions, not as a rebuke to the Executive of Virginia, for nttering his sentiments in his New York letter; but 88 a counterblast to the opinions there expressed. Mr. AUGUsT said that in giving his vote he did not wish to be understood guilty of the presump tion of rebuking the Executive for the expression of his opinion, an act to the performance of which he bad a perfect right-but as the expression of his (Mr. individual opinion. Mr.

JOHNSON offered the following resolutions, as substitutes for the let and 2d resolutions of the series: 1. Resolved, That the present attitude of the Administration in regard to Kansas, is approved by the General Assembly of Virginia, and is believed to be the general sentiment of the people of the State. 2. Resolved, That it is the simple duty of Congres8 to admit Kansas into the Union, as she has chosen to present herself, with the Lecompton Constitution, at once, absolutely and unconditionally, save only the requirement of a republican form of government. Mr.

BEALE contended that there was no shadow of necessity for the substitute offered by the gentleman from Bedford. It enunciated no general principle. Mr. B. also appealed to the Senator from Augusta to reconsider his resolution.

Mr. STUART, in reply, stated the disadvantageous position the minority occupied, debarred from consultation with regard to the resolutions before them, and called now not, for deliberation, but for action. Speaking of the 2d resolution, he cited an instance which might occur, in which of the extreme Northwestern States, settled by foreigners, who had not the prejudice of race, might adopt a constitution placing the white and black races on an equal footing--a course of action which might send a free negro representative to the halls of Congress. Mr. Dred Scott decision settles that point in declaring a negro not a citizen of the United States, therefore, he could not sit in Congress.

Mr. STUART-That decision has application only to States where the laws make a distinction between the white and black races. Mr. BEALE-Could not Utah be admitted into the Union, and the very next week hold a Convention and engraft in its constitution the monstrosities they now practice. Mr.

STUART-The gentleman is right; but that fact would not deter me resisting ite admission as long as practicable on legal grounds, and insisting that at least when Utah came in its constitution should be acceptable. Mr. STUART concluded by saying that had the majority offered to meet the minority for consultation, not as Democrats, but as Virginians, he would have cheerfully gone into it, and acted with them in the fullest manner. As it was, he should remain silent. The members who were in that caucus stood here bound to vote for the resolutions as they were, and it would be useless to attempt to modify or change them.

Mr. OLD denied that he was bound by the action of the caucus. He asked if the opposition had not held a caucus and concocted certain resolutions thereat Mr. CAMPBELL, like the gentleman from Powhatan, (Mr. OLD,) was not bound to vote for the resolutions, nor was any member on the floor.

If others more acceptable were produced he wonld vote for them. He asked the minority if they had any resolutions, to introduce them. Mr. FLOYD did not feel bound by the action of the caucus, and was prepared to vote for more acceptable resolutions if they were offered. Mr.

THOMAS spoke at some length with regard to the exclusion of the minority from consultation, and the consequent injustice done He would confess that the "opposition" members last night held a meeting, as stated by but considering the previous action of the majorigentlemen, ty, they knew it wonld be useless to invite them to participate. Mr. T. concluded by ries of resolutions, the substance of which follows: 80- offering a 1st. Denying the right of Congress to reject the application of a territory to be admitted as a State into the Union, in consequence of its constitution not having been submitted to a direct 2d.

vote of the people. Denying the right of Congress to reject the application in consequence of tion or rejection of slavery, of the adopas a part the 80- the cial system of the State; affirming that it is imperative duty of Congress, to admit Kan888 with the Lecompton constitution unless it contains provisions in violation of the constitution of the United States. 3d. That for the admission of Kansas into the any plan Union, which imposes conditions on her people after the acceptance by Congress of her constitution, is dangerous to tion the of peace of the Union, by continuing the agitaslavery, and is subversive of the leading principies of the Kausas Nebraska bill. 4th.

The General Astembly of Virginia would hail the ad mission of Kansas with the Lecompton constitution, (provided it is not obnoxious to any of the objections stated,) as a renewal of the spirit of harmony and conciliation which gave birth to the Union. 5th. Urging the necessity of withdrawing the subject of slavery from the halls of Congress, and confining it to the States where it properly belongs. The vote was then taken on the substitute offered by Mr. JoaNsoN for the first resolution of the series.

It was defeated. Ayes, 12; nays, 30. The substitute of Mr. JoHNsoN, for the 2d resolution, was then voted down. Ayes 14, nays 29.

'The vote was then taken on Mr. THoMAs' substitute, and resulted as follows: AYES-Messre. Armstrong, Braden, Caldwell, Daughtery, French, Hubbard.

Baez, in the city of Mexico, had been received with much disfavor in many of the interior portions of the country, and a large number of States had openly declared in the most violent manner against the new order of things. Many ofthe principal towns, including Vera Cruz, had also joined in opposition to Comonfort, and a formidable military coalition was in process of organization to assist in the movement against him. In several portions of the republic, troops were already in motion, and another change in the executive power appeared at the date of the latest advices to be imminent.
