Tbe Loncioa " correspondent of tho Cincinnati Gazette, of a recent daie, gives the folIowingiatcrestiDgaccgant '0f th8 dangers,: on one Bid-or tjhe other, now threatening England's s tablished Church: j Heretics ia the Church increase?not in number, that would be impossible but in temerity. Three or four trial are on tho ecclesiastical docket. The Hector at Frorde has -been summoned to answer for overmuch genuflexion. The llav. Mr. Voysey is to be tried for 'overmuch latitude of teaching and preaching, Mr. V. lias tho countenance of Dean Stanley and Professor Jowett. Several;; cases jof less publicity, but of no less momeat, let us believe, are to take their turn before the ecclesiastical judgment seat. Then the Dean of Ripon, who . diTiJji his vonerabla venom between the Premier and l'opc, 13 furious over the approaching Church Congress at - Liverpool, because the Hector ot' St. ' "Albans Mr. Mackonochie) is a'dejegate thereto, and is to read a papcz thereat. , If that paper docsa't, advocate candles for the English Church, and its separation from the State, its author will evade the two thentes which just now most engross his active and courageous mind. j So, no wonder thaArch'bishop of Canterbury is out in favor of changes to conciliate the factions, and no wonder Archdeacon Denison declares " tbe Chnrch of KDgland is very sick, suffering from more than one kind oi obstinate sicknessj' f The Archdeacon ha3 "taken part in all the Church Congresses," and oace i hoped - they, would euro "soma; of the ills which the establishment is heir to, but he now abandons them in despair. The Pall Mall Gazette consoles him with the assurance that ''if the Church of .England. ia very sick, its rivals are no better," and says the most distressing of its symptoms are three ia number, viz.: .' The vigor of its antagonists. Catholics and "dissenters; its internal divisions and their incurable character,, and the , increasing disposition of the age to embrace the voluntary system, and tohavo free trade in religion as well , as in other things."- The Gazette concludes this vigorous and significant article with these words: j If this is the disease of churches in this day, the question naturally arises. What is its remedy? The answer is very simple. The remedy is inquiry, which must in time issue cither in the attainment of such knowledge a3 is attainable, or ia the attainment of the knowledge that no knowledge is attainable. The first result would euro the disease by removing it. The second would prove that it is not a disease at all, but the proper condition of rational beings. The 2 imts commend tho Primate's fi admonition," and plainly 'says'if the establishment would live and not die it must make haste to put its hou.3J in order. Meaawhilet is the uaiversal belief, in the Church and oat of it, that death has passed upon the hotise and its dissolution is inevitable. 'j Everybody says some r mournfully, some joyfully "It is only a question of time." Ten years is frequently put as the ' time," but twenty is allowed by the mors conservative . of the thoughtfiil English. " The Scotch kirk is almost ripe enough to fall from the bough which it has recently shaken by petitioning the Government for the doing away of " patronage." j , i ,. jMr Watkia ,Y illiama grvra notice in the House of Commons tha$ he would move the following resolution tt the next session: , .:- It First, --that, tho -thno Lai i arrived when the measure of religious quality which had beea granted; to Ireland could no longer, consistently with justice, be withheld from Wales; aad secondly, that it was expedient that the surplus funds to be derived from the property of the disestablisht; cd and disendowed, church should be atDhed toward the advancement of a national and purely undenominational gTsteua or education. . , , .. . ,. In adJresiinsrTiis conslitueafe the other day, Mr. Williams said hia notice was "warmly received by tbe House," and if Mr UladitoneV countenance exrressed anything, he was gratified and pleased with it." So the Pretnier may be said to countenance another whack upon the thick end of j the weage. t The disestablishment of Ireland has got so lar ia the work of rccon struction as to resolve that a copy of me uwiq ana one or the Prayer Uook , shili lie oa the table- during each session 6f tho Iteconstrnctionary Synod. The 'namo of the successor who moved that the Bible be laid oa the table is not published, but the custom thus determined upon is said to signify formal profession that the Synod was prepared to . adhere.- to the - existing Constitution of the Churcb, which looked to the Bible as a rule of faith; and the Book of Common Prayer as

And the Dublin divine also said: It was unhappily tho tendency of human nature when intrusted with a little authority to grasp at more, and if the laity, not content with occupying their, proper position and exercising . their legitimate influence, sought to taka all power into their own hands, to be the governors in stead of the governed, to assume any oi the real tanctions or the ministry, or to put the clergy ia the positioa of their paid servants instead or their spiritual pastors, they would bs subverting divine order., : .

The eyes of the civilized world are upoa that littlo . connecting link ; between the Mediterranean and liedSeas, and imperial combinations are on foot to divert the trade there concentrating into tho channels which England and France1 respectively seek to control. Palestine appears to ,bo regarded as of 6uch.'6light consequence in this connection, as in all other relations, savo tho3e of archaeological concsrn, that its claims to consideration have been entirely overlooked. i ; j , The contests of the Middle Ages bhtweea tho Christian' and" Saracen forces looked to the possession of the Holy .Sepulchre; .Napoleon, exulted in his memorable campaign under tho shadow of tho .Pyramids as the most brilliant epoch in his military career. It. would seem, that here is to be the theatre of another conflict;- tho grahd victory of peace is to be won on tho field onoo Btained by the blood of avenging hosts. "The swords are to pe boaten into plowshares. - 1 j -What are Israelites to hope from this' great triumph of . patient skill. and this international strife for ' the mastery? The projector of the.

' There can be no doubt that Palestine wul sympathize with the regeneration of Egypt, and' that the seaports .ot the Holy Land will be transformed again into busy mart3, and tho products of the soil be sent forth ia their ancient abundance in exchanje for the commodities of distant countries., - - ; ! - -The beautiful and memorable words of tho Prophet Isaiah cannot ha for gotten by the Israelites to-day,' how-; ever light the yearning for their ;iramediata fulfillment: . j 1 "Feat not. for I ana with thee.

J ' - My stay ia California is necessarily a very brief, one, andjet was unwilling to return home without having Been a little more of th'e! Agricultural portion cf tho country, and from personal observation learned something of the " modes of cultivation. .So taking an early start I crossod the Bay to Alameda, procured a morniDg

lunch on the ferry-boat, and took the cars for a ride down into the famous Santa Clara Valley. The ride through Alameda, with its pretty rural residences and fine parks, and the farming country along thiasfc sido of the Bay, i3 a pleasant one; and is one succession of good ' ranches " (the term here for all kinds of farms) all the way to San J ose. This place is in the midst of

the Santa Ulara V alley, situated at rne head of the Bay, or rather eight miles interior from the head of the Bay, and fifty miles distant from the city. The citizens of San Jose insist that it is the prettiest town in the State, and it certainly presents good claims for that honor. It has a costly and imposing Court House, a number of attractive churches, a good class of business houses, streets weii improved, and its private residences, it3 orchards, vineyards, parks and shade trees, all combined are such as can scarcely be found in any other city or town in the State. About Ban d ose ana tne neignboring town of Santa Clara are to be found soma of the finest and best improved farming lands in California, and I doubt if they are surpassed any place in America. The road3 at this season are terribly dusty, but it richly repays one to drive in a carriage through the country in thi3 vicinity and see what is being accomplished in agricultural matters in this new couatry, which but a few years ago was proaounced by its most enthusiastic inhabitants not adapted to farming. In riding through this region, 1 was surprised to see the substaatial and expensive character of the improvements, the advanced condition cf tho shrubbery, and .the taste and beauty of the gardens and surroundings. I doubt whether there is a farmingsection in New York State or Ohio with better houses, a greater degree of i horticultural tasto. or a higher state of cultivation. True, this is the choicest part of the State, near tha railroad, and within easy reach of San Francisco; but all this has been accomplished within fifteen years. And tha railroads which are low branching out from San Francisco and .Sacramento will, as soma of them already do, pass through valleys about as rich as this, and which are rapidly being improved and developed. The-great forop of this valley j i3 wheat.-' The fields are, some of them, thai largest I .ever saw,' embracing hundreds of acre3 ia a single enclosure, and the yield in this . locality is eaormous,T California wheat can hardly be classed either as ."winter" or "spring," as with our Stales varieties, but a quality between tha tiro. California, especially in tho grain and good farming regions of tha State, can hardly be 6aid : to have any winter. The period which would aisswer for that is tha rainy season, which comes on in November usually, and continues for two or ihrea monthB. But no snow falls, there is very -little frost, and it never freezes in the milder valleys. -The ground is not usually plowed lor wheat till the first rain falls,: of which there aro showers in October. The wheat produced is not considered quite as good as that of Oregon, where there i3 snow . and ice, nor as good I as our Indianawinter wheat, but it makes very good bread; and some even prefer it. ..It is harvested in June, much of it with tha " header," leaving tha straw standing high in ; the field, and thus being freed from it in threshing. As it is convenient during the Summer, the wheat ' is ' threshed and pat into burlap sa'cks, and left piled up in .the open .field, without any covering, for months. It never rains in this country from the termination of the rainy season to its commencement, a period of from seven to nine months. So tho farmer has littlo use for barns, and the wheat remains unprotected in the fields until it is sold to the grain-dealer, who usually furnishes the sacks and hauls it away; or if the farmer prefers to run ' the chances of the market, he sacks and transports it to the city, and holds or sells it himself. j J,. ; Yesterday as I drova through : the valley, for miles upon miles, I saw the wheat fields, looking as if they had just been harvested tbe last week, the straw or stubble standing high in the field, bright and golden almost as the day the "header", gathered ,in the grain. -A3 there is no rain, the straw retains its color, and the field is: not overrun -with weeds. If it is desired to plow before the first .rain falls, the straw is burnt off; but, if standing when the rains come, it soon fails and decays, and is easily plowed in, and thus goes to enrich" the soil. The hay when cut is, also, not stacked or stored under sheds or barns, as with us, but is simply piled loosely together to protect it from the u bleach, ing " effects of the suu; and there it remains until, in the course of a few months, the press of other work gives the farmer an opportunity toyget it ready for market or out of the way of the rainy season; and be engages a portable hay-press, as cur farmers do a thresher, (if he does not own one himself),, and passing through the fields, it is rapidly compressed into bales and hauled away to market, or piled up in a very much smaller compass than with our farmers, and easily covered over. From the , immense i piles of baled hayl saw yesterday, the yield of this valley per acre must ; be enormous....; v; . j H But what was of more interest to me even than the broad fields of wheat and hay, (it is not a very good corn country), was my drives through some of the - extensive gardens, vinyards and " orchards of 'this valley I say drives, for their extent forbids walk. ing if a general view is to be obtained. Here I saw . single strawberry beds embracing several' acres, ' and bearing fruit - through nearly every month in the year, for they are hardly ever out of season. The vineyards argof large extent, and prolific almost beyond belief: The vines are; staked np,taad kept pruned down -to from three and a half to five feet in heighth, and it 13 astonishing what capacity they have for bearing; great clusters three, four, and even six times as largo as our Indiana bunches, and the grapes of some varieties tho sizo of our common plums, : and of. all colors blaok, white, reen, purple, claret and bright scarlet, t W hole ranches are devoted to orchards of the large r fruitsapples, peaches, pairs, &c.Tiie pear3, especially, are of delicious flavor, juicy, aad 01 sucn proportions tnac a single one, sometimes, is more than a good fruit eater, as your humble servant, for example, can master. I saw them, yesterday, so abundant that they were gathered in piles under the trees and decaying, simply to enrich tho . soil, too plenty to eat,' and too cheap to transport to market." Owing to the "regularity 'of the seasons and tha absence of killing frosts, the climate is excellent for fruit, and it is said produces always a certain crop; though for grain it is not always so snre, on accountof the. danger sometimes of a." dry season," there being too slight a fall of rain," -Tho character, of, the climate" may be judged from the fact that flowers bloom in the tho gardens all the year, and it is only the most delicate plants of tho tropics which go to tho. hot-house, a month

ortwo m the rainy season. And yet it is said that it i3 only occasionally in these valleys, near the coast, that the thermometer rises above eighty, and the cool nights always require' sleeping under blankets. The price of farming land in the Santa Clara valley is extravagantly high, and probably will not range higher for years to come, being now held at from sixty to one hundred and twenty-five dollars in gold. Asyou eo further into the interior or ur and

down the coast the land is cheaper, and in valleys nearly as prolific and with the same advantages of climate. First class farming lands may now be bought for from fifteen to twenty dollars, gold, directly on the line of projected railroads now being constructed; and the same kinds of land more remote at from 6ix to ten dollars. But while there is much lowpriced lands offered, from all I can learn I think lands in California are held too high to induce much immigration on a very extended scale, with the cost of the long journey to reach it; especially while there is so much fruitful country in Kansas and Nebraska at lower rates and morn accessible. My ride of yesterday, around the Bay and through the Santa Clara valley, was a most delightful one. On one- side almost constantly in view was the broad waters of the Bay, while the beautiful valley, with- its wide fields, its prolifio vineyards and orchards, ; its fragrant gardens of blooming flowers, - and : its .pretty villages and farm houses, was locked in by the dividing ranges' of the Coast Mountains, while from - the broad bosom of the : Pacific, just beyond, came the bracing winds, infusing life, energy and health among the inhabitants, aad tempering the otherwise severe heat of the sun. The Oriental philosopher need look no further for " The Happy Valley." - - 1 My visit to the Golden State has been a very brief one, and yet while I have but a mere glanca at it, it has been a most interesting and profitable one. It suggests fruitful themes for correspondence, but as ' I to-morrow turn my way homeward by the great Continental Railroad, I will only anticipate, by my arrival,' letters, if I should write them.- - . 1 J.
