PRESBYTERY OF LOUISVILLE, KY. We have recently received from the Rev. Thomas Caldwell, Stated Clerk of this Presbytery, the following extracts from the Minutes of their last stated meeting. "Resolved, that the members be directed to bring before their respective charges, and such of the vacant churches as they may have occasion to visit, the plan recommended by the Board of Missions of the General Assembly, for forming sessions into missionary associations, and recommend the adoption of that plan to as many of our churches as have not already done so. "Resolved, That the Rev. Messrs. Samuel B. Robertson, William K. Stew art, and Thomas Caldwell, be appointed an Executive Corresponding Committee, on the subject of Missions, according to the plan recommended by the Board of Missions of the General Assembly." A few days since, a handsome broadcloth coat, which has been presented to a Missionary in Ohio, was received by the Treasurer, accompanied with the following note: S. ALLEN, Esq.-Sir, the loud calls of the Missionary and Education Societies have induced me to proffer the accompanying article. It is a relick, which has long been sacred to friendship, and may not now be devoted to any other, than a holy purpose. Being unacquainted with both the names and characters of your beneficiaries, the donor hopes through your agency, the garment may be appropriated to some missionary of unquestionable piety, and of talents too, one who will go forth preaching to those who are afar off, with apostolick zeal, Christ and him crucified.
