THE DAY OF HUMILIATION. [We subjoin the names of the preachers in the WPilmetropolitan churches yesterday, together with teits ; and in some instances an enable of the Moon) • WESTMINSTER ABBEY. THE TEST REV. DEAN TRENCH. Lamentation' W., 40, 41. " Let us smelt and try our w• end tarn again to the Lord. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens." Oa this purge, the preacher obaerved—Would God that England, m the hour of her confusion, might search as de sire( to find, and having found, as prepared to oar sat wheeler accused things may bo lurking within her, and rGod's wrath end indigestion upon her. And send t behoves her, at this time societa ll y, to do this is re of her dealings with that land from whence their anguish has broken upon bar.

But with many things which ono speak at th ere is one matter on which I cannot keep If them is one matter which, more than another, is the accord Ebbs In England's relations with ‘ lier Indian possessiams,lt is the swig India Company's traffic in opium— the hideous far that the government of India raised • revenue of several na Boos from trafficking in this poisonous drug—a revenue mired, in feet, upon the vice, the Dairy, the degradation, the ruin la body sad soul—for the use of opium is equal rain to both—of millions in the East. One hundred thousand &sets eloper the East India Company annually exports, frrn it upon unwilling nations, on China above all, despite of ask ler, and in defiance of their remonstranor. My bretlerem, the crying sin is their sin, but it is oars as well. It is Gun for this reason—the goventrasett of England is le otarilred, Is so responsive to the national voice end feeling, that wtterere the people of England are resolved that this shall be, or that shall not be, those who administer our affair. effect. Thus, the o f have to e_tla..thrr resolution into were resolved that the slave trade, so far r was cemented, should be abolished; and It was. They were resolved that slavery itself should MOO within the British dominions • and it did so. If the C hr istian conscience of Engla nd were equally aroused to the enormity of the opium trait —demanded with se firm a voice the suppression of it—this iniquity, like those before It, would oar. But, my brethreet, to a certain degree it may be admitted that this of which I have Just spoken is a sin of others, rather then our own. Other sins there arc which sit closer tone; for example, the little which we have done in advancing the knowledge of Christ end His Gospel in India. There ere some who say that far too much has been done has, lam bold to my that it lea been far too little ; but this subject of our duties as a Christian people in India, the extant to which we am debtors to it, and bow we may dis charge the debt, this tarter I must reserve to rear of till this afternoon. Leaving, then, this for the present let ua further search and try our ways, not merely in regard of our own or our ruler's sine and shortcomings in regard of our Irian dominions, but let us acknowledge the whole series of our pest unthankfulneseee to God, that so many mercies have left us so little thankful ; that so many chasteninge have left us so little holy ; above all, Ist us confer our guilt in this matter, that preceding visitations left us we little Letter than they found w; so perhaps this one may not Le wholly thrown Away. fir said of bred,— 'My people dolt not consider. Do not let na oblige Him to say this of ua ; but if we have not in past time, let us now consider Ilia dealings with :us, and consider our ways in which we have walked. Seems it not, brethren, as though He led a controversy with our land r It is manifest that there are three chief wearies of indignation in the armoury of God—three wideent woes wok which He visits nations and people. These, as all bleary informs us, as He word teaches as, are famine, peetilonce, end war; it being the choice of these three that lie offered to David when he had sinned. Within the last ten years we have known theca all—and in respect of the pestilence and the war It has been stroke upon stroke, breach upon breach. If the famine during this time has wasted but once, at though then it devoured its millions, twice the peetdence has swept over our land; to he the war lute demanded of Engird that she should shed, like water, the best blood of her children—and this, the reond visit of this scourge of nation., how far more dr 'wind than the first That other scourge which we have warcely left two years be hind ea, was dreadful enough —it !teemed ri took our energies of endurance to the uttermost; we thought that uo beerier tidings could ever reach us than red to reach us then. No sadder death-rolls than the death-rolls of the gallant erne of England, which were then unfolded I.eforo cur eyes. And yet things so much worse have now comm upon us, that we cm& look back almost with envy at our condition then ; when we wire at war, indeed, but with a Christian netion, with one observing, in the main, the law. of Chrietien warfare ; when the horrors of that which must be always horrible were mitigated in part by those mutual cc:urn:re, which worthy foes delight in showing one another; while now—bit I need not draw the contrast. Let me rather ask—what wore thing could we have ? This Is worse than that which went before; there may be still worse behind. Sheller, in our impenitence and pride, in our coldness or hardier of heart, make proof of God, what other 'repro, shaper, more piercing, yet may be in hot armoury ? Shall in pro voke Him to more wrath ? Are we stronger than Her Is It not enough that it is now in this our England almost se It WWI In Egypt when the Lord passed through the land and there was wailing in every hors ? Who is there that ...ore nearly or more remotely boa not been smitten; or un• scathed till now, is not waiting, with trembling fear, fa the burden of sorrow and angui sh which another post may bring ? What shall we say then? Let this be such a fast as God has chosen. There is only one way of repine it right. He baa told us what that is Wadi put ; make you clean; put away the evil of your dung; confess your own sins, and your people's ; say, be came of thew things, therefore is this evil come upon us; search and try your ways, and turn again to the L•rd." I will not soy a word, my lasthren, in respect of the collection which is now about to be made on behalf of the eutteren in India. I should be well nigh ashamed to think such a cord were required. Our hearts are full—full of heaviness, fill of bleeding compassion for our suffering brethren. The deeper grief', which are the portion of many of them, we cannot amigo. They crave a higher hand than ours. ilut chat we can do that we will, rejoicing. Wo shall rejoice India burden thoee full hearts, not merely In words of pity, bit In dude of love.

There was no daunting, and, with the exception of the anthem, " Give peace in our time, 0 Lord," and the concluding " Dead March in Stu]," the organ not heard. Rev. Canon Dote selected for his test 26th chapter ' of Jeremiah, part of 9th verse—" When Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn eighteen/mese." It was not, however, always en There were some among the inhebitente of the world who denied God in his judgetente, while they did not deny Him In himself—come who, while treeing the source of events only to secondary LIMIT'S, and tsiiog no account of that never Ailing Providemo which " ordereth all thing.. both in heaven and earth," yet would, if netted, confers His power and their belief in Hie deercee. To act thus was reputed wisdom, while in truth it wee consummate folly; for what could be more contrary to ',neon than to derogate from the attributes of the Deity while admitting His ex.Mteam—what more contrary to reason than to limit the exerclee of Ilia power, which wee confessed almighty, and to dream aril* the range of Hie vriedrin rielmowled to be infinite; to exclude the right of the Almighty from dominion over the works of His own hands—to 'ammo without any show of reason or shadow of authority whatever, that Ile who had crested could not control, or that where His creatures had formed themselves into countries and compsaim, they would be Ere rewarded by Ilim than when secret in families or iodated as individual'? Thie in conception was euroly the extreme of folly, and this in application was the extreme of prieumption. T. deny the operations of God and His judgment& whether the form of them be the famine or pestilence, the warfare or the mutiny, was practi cally to deny God himself. It was, an the prophet Jere had so terribly declared, to " belie the Lord. ' When, therefore, as now, His judgments were abroad in a remote but moat important part of the empire—when fear had come upon our countrymen as a desolation, and destruction as a whirlwind ; when distress and anguish had fallen on those whose security seemed so strong (for where Int a few brief months since could there have seemed fairer promise of unbroken order than in India), let us enpplicate on behnit of all that the "inhabitants of the world might learn righteownseza"—let us unite in heart and voice and may, Some put their thud in chariots, and some is hone& but we will remember the name of the Lord our God," Now, God's judgmente were declared in Scriptures to be the con sequencee of man's sine, but it did not follow from this that particular judgments were the consequences of particular In& nor yet that, in the case of a nation at least, the retribution was or leapt row ted from the name persons by whom the transgresaion bad been committed sad the penalty inentred.

The bearing that it had upon oar case wan plain. If w,, would not "learn righteonsnees " from the judgment. indicted upon others, we could but expect them to fail upon =mime.

Yea, a greater than Jonas! Behold, the Lord carte out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity ; and there must be the work of the closet as well as of the church, if we would make dale en acceptable day unto Hlm. Our impressions miushe es noble as they were deep—our penitence as practical as It was pro found. The rev. gentleman at some length adverted to the .elamitim [Whited on Jerusalem and Nineveh, and drew a powerful comparison between their judgments and those with whk.la Bugle= wee at present anicted. Having to family prayer, which, he obverved, was moat urn to God, he warned his hearers to musette their own ewes in regard to the present crisis, and exhorted them to persoeal religion. The preacher concluded with en appeal on behalf of the Indian had. ST. PHILIP'S, REGENT-STREET. THI ASV. 1. W. BILLET/. Jeremiah a 60, v. 22. " The Lord bath opened his armoury; • sound of battle is in the had, and of great destruction.' Tie preacher commenced by saying that the majesty of Ood was ever most distinct amidst tho con ranee and convulsions of the world. Nothing could be a greeter proof of a divine power than the production of melee out of chaos and confusion, and the creation of beauty out d things without form and void; what but each • power could evolve light out of deep darkness, and bid sterility biome into esienty 1' This was beyond the reach of mate rialise, and could only result from the power of a Cream. If that was so, revelation and creation were in larmony, for they both testiSed to the personality of Ord , and both showed that no inferior agency couM havemodanel such wonderful effects. Nature in her work ings disclosed the existence of a Supreme Being, active in his mysterious economy, the depths of which mankind was un able o fathom, and though obliged to say, so it is, was Inca ttlittaying, how it is ea The researches of science, the tl of God, revealed the infallible truth of nature, that all tie greeted results of creation come out of chaos and conftsion. The whole world sprang out of convulsions and confeaion. The waves of strata in the rocks, the not vet ex tinct voleanoa spoke of convulsion ; the agonies and throes of mut= in the art of producing the last greet work of crea- tion,the electric collimate which were neeemery to the Natation of the atmeephere, the bursting of neon, which as often converted them into arehite, te of the earth—all tended to prove that out of convulsion andeonfation order and peace wore to arise. It was Michael Angelo who first taught that the fairest and brightest litres of painting were beet brought out by a dark back ground, and so in nature the highest points of character were urea emitted on a dark and gloomy canems if events. Turning font creation to human nature,we ever found man endeavour fi6yy of confusion to bring completion ; and the prevalence of Wel and calamity was ever compelling him to make a battle- Sad of life.

Hen the deadliest combat was to be waged, and for eut h a reason it was that Christ Jesus was sent into the world to Le the champion and saviour of men. When men neglected to arm rimmed, a with the weapons of righteous noes they were settureed by enrrow and affliction. This was proved by the ponied - me otte which God inflicted on the Jenne, his own people; but though they were punished they were still beloved of God, and they were promised pardon en their repentance and turning to God. A great and mighty nation was at prayer that day. To them belonged confusion of face be cause they hadnoned against God. But were they in earnest, or was this pay's service a solemn mockery P me them only word. upon their lips which they were sending tee to the throne of God, or wore they heartfelt truth..? Were they praying in meow of heart—hearts heavy with the loss of so many Mends and countrymen—or were they asking for the steady advent of the time of summary vengeance on these who bed brought en one levee and 'tithed= on the lesd, tested of humbling themselves before God for their bat If they were not simply humbling themselves for their ..lea, thou he proclaimed that day's service to be a shameful blare phemy and a wicked hypocrisy. Were they only se= fa time for vengeance on those Indian robbers whose no lenguage could tharacterise, in order that they might copy the example of those whose hideous snort:anus had no parallel in the history of the world P He &eked this emotion become he shuddered when he thought of the language used in private letters and public journals en this subject. If we were to copy the deeds of our enemimore bad better cease from prayer, and shut up our bibles. The preacher then in ' the most emphatic Lacoste urged, that while we satisfied , pieties on the Mode in human shape who had been guilty of such enmities sa had been yet unheard of in all time, we must still remember that we were Christians; but there was something se terrible and appalling in the tone of public feel ing and exprevion ith reference to those Indian butchen, I that he felt it his duty to remonstrate against the cherishing of such a eentintent of guilty vengeance which was divest:to ful to a Christian people. Our first feeling should not be I one of reactance • but we should acknowledge that we had sinned an a seam, and bend before Clod In humi liation and sorrow. We were keeping a solemn fast in order that we might pray for pardon fur our ' stns. What dm? We had committed grievous sins in our relations with India. In much of our conduct there we had deo= =melee' &shamed of Christ and his religion, and done dishonour to its prindples. Wo had I been the governors ;of that vela territory for 100 years, and in that time we had done many acts which some of our statesmen had not hesitated to denounce. We bad M t ttet empire for our own gains, and not governed it for Its benefit. Its roveures had been undeveloped, and for years it had been our narrow policy to keep them un der , and it was only four years ago that any attempt bed been made at any broad scheme for the immanent of the people of India. Lord William Bentinek, to hie eternal honour, had abolished the terrible custom of Suttee; and I I Lord Dalhousie had done all in his power to cheek the crime of Infanticide ; but beyond this, the moral influence of England in India bad been extremely small. Even es regarded the army now in revolt, we bad pampered its folly and its prejudices, while at the same time we had deprived it of so many of its effieers, that all discipline was het. With reference to Christianity, he must say that the government of India was blameless of any attempt at the I conversion of the people, and no government oeuld have ex hibited • greater Independence of. or a greater indiffennice I. Christianity. In justice, he would add that it was impair I sible for an government to identify itself with missionary efforts in I ndi a. While perhaps ours had been, on the whole, the beet and most pot rule which India ever pm- Reseed , still no one could think of the broken treatise, the corruption i anti opposition which had existed there without I elle that there were many remess with reference to India w hich called for humiliation and repentance from us ; and be bread that when we regained our autho rity In that empire, many errors of government weuht be abandoned, and that we would me ell our effort• to make lodia what it bad never yet been under our rale, a prosperous and powerful lead. Turning to the sub ject of the @offerings of our countrymen in the East, the preacher pointed out that the ambition of the three greatest conquerors of the world—Alexander, Cwear and Napoleon— Mid mused the verifice of six millions of hinnate lire* ; but in none of the blond-stained pages of history was there any rennet to the cruelties and enormities which had been perpe trated in India ; the persecutions of the early Christians, the direful acts of Nero, the secret tortures of the Inquisition, and the horror. of the French revolution, were insignificant when compered with what had been inflicted on our Mends and countrymen there. He then introduced with great pathos several of the most touching incidents of the recent massacres, some of which were connected with the =mot of member, of his own congregation ; and at this portion of the mermen the emotions of numbers of those present was evi denced by theft , sobs and team. He then preceded to con shim the subject in its moral and national point of view. Elegised now presented before the world the spectacle of a Divine visitation; but it should be remembered that hitherto out of all her trouble., God had evoked the greatest benefits to her; and tent of this calamity two beneficial results had arisen—the one individual, the other national. As regarded the individual benefit, this fiery trial had produced mane a here and many a mint ; and It had stirred the spirit of Chile tianity which bed lath dormant in that land in the persons of many who had (wand at the lest their only refuge in God and their Savinar. As regarded the national benefit, it was already being developed in the recto:lingo of that day—in CONSAAVATIVI DIMONSUATION IX ism.

The rulers of our nation (said the hon. and rev. gentleman) had rightly judged in appointing a special day for humbling ourselves se • people in the presence of Almighty Clod, in conesquence of the troubles which had occurred, and which he feared were still occurring, to our distressed countrymen and countrywomen in the Indian empire. For ever there wee an infliction which bore the character of a national chastisement, we might without fear conider this so one—whether we considered the revolt simply, or the indiscriminate hate by which it had been cheractensed, or the combination of treachery by which it had been achieved, and the personal innocence of many of the victims whom the mutineers had so brutally eacrificed in cold blood ; for confi dently he might affirm that the sufferers bad not suffered for their own faults, whatever might have been the culpability of the government of India. Without alluding to the system of government which had been adopted in India, he remarked that we might be sure that that eyetere bad been in the main In accordance with, and initiated by, the national mind at home. Whence had arisen, ho inquired, that region love of conquest, that frequent dethronement of native ruler., and the annexation of province after province that had characterised our government of India F It wee the result only he feared of our national pride and covetowinces which, deny as we might, were the crying !dna of the British people. The hon. and rev. gentlemen, after comment ing on the pride and covetousness of the English in India, adverted to the manner in which the Christian religion had been forgotten in the End, and attributed the present mutiny greatly to the manner in which "we had left Christianity to take care of itself," instead of setting apart a moiety of our immense revenues for the propagation of our holy religrion, end the public acknowledgment of God and Christ. The hon. end rev, gentleman concluded his address by exhorting all to offer up their prayers and supplications at the throne of gone for our dietreend brothers and sisters in the East in their perilous situation ; and also to give freely of their sub dance for the relief of those whom the calamity has reduced to utter destitution and i misery ; end expressed the earnest hope that English soldiery, in their retribution upon the merrilese and cruel mutineers, would show themselves above the mere passion of vengeance for the atrocities committed on their fellow-countrymen and women, tempering their justice with merry, and diminguLtini .. between the justice that spares end the justice that After the sermon a coU r o7l7rit• made which realised 801.

The preacher commenced by remarking that there te a right and a wrong method of sieving events, and of act ing in regard of them ; but that the tight method alone pro mises to be useful, by securing the lemon they are intended to teach. Self-love, however, will ever induce us to take a wrong now of events having a humiliating tendency. These observations apply to the subject of national calamities. Thus, whereas the true and profitable use which each man should make of such mournful events is, to consider how far his own sine, negligence, and ignorance may have oonduced to them, as they certainly have, to con fess these to God with unfeigned sorrow, sincere sorrow, sincere purposes of amendment, and supplica tions for tho aid of God's Holy Spirit, and to exert himeelf as much as possible to obviate the ill consequences of his own conduct—instead of giving this generalneee to the so lemniaation of a day like the present, we perceive in nureelves and others a tendency to evade the personal application of the subject of national judgmente, by devoting our attention to topics foreign to the purpose. Tim one man, perhaps. merely criticiete the measurce of government; another re m& only the racial causes and consequences of events, and theireffects on trade and commerce; another possibly consults the gage of prophecy, in order to ascertain under what mys terious symbol such events are indicated, and to correct his calculations concerning " the time of the end ;" another de voutly acknowledges that national sufferings are the come quences of national sins, but without considering how far his own sins have been concerned in bringing sufferings on hie own nation. Yet national sine are composed of the sins of individuals—the term has no other meaning. It may. indeed, be difficult for each man to trace the influence of his own sins In conducing to the present calamities in British India; it is nevertheless certain that they have had their weight in the occurrence. Nations, as such, are judged and rewarded "according to their deeds" in this life. We have every one of us contributed our share in giving a bias and cha racter to those of our fellow-countrymen who rule the desti nies and superintend the affairs of our foreign permeation.. No man's conduct terminates in himself: it affects the whole mus of society to which he belong., and throughout all i periods of time. The prophet, in the text, and in the entire , chapter, gives that genemlness to a day of humiliation which alone renders it of any value, and includes himself and all ', his fellow-subjects in the acknowledgment that their sins , had provoked the displeasure of God. Unless we do like- I wine, we are, in fact, met together to lament the sins of others , rather than our own. We ought, instead, to consider that our own every sin is a poison, whose pestilent influence , spreads far and wide, and is attended with mischiefs to both Jo uil . the innocent and the as ty. As often we commit any evil, or omit any ,we diminish, more or leap, directly or I indirectly, thefare of the whole society to which we belong, and ultimately of the whole human nee.

After dwelling on the solemnity of the occasion, and the eatiefactinn which must be felt by all in acknowledging the overruling providence of God, he deprecated the presump tion which could venture to pronounce upon the present state of the land as a divine punishment for our minute in India. With all its faults, the British ride in India had conferred greater benefits upon that country than it heel ever enjoyed before. This was evinced by the sympathy felt and acknow ledged by the people at large for the British government. that, irrespective of any other considerations, it was the duty of the British nation to quell the rebellion, in order to WO the quiet and peaceful inhabitants of India from 'he dreadful miseries and atrocities which they would inovitably suffer it they were delivered to the absolute control of the rebel 801-1 1 diem, who had shown their real character by the dreadful ane horrid mimes which they had committed.

He than made • moat able and urgent appeal to the tengregation for contributions to the fund ter the relief of our ingesting countrymen in India, through the medium of the collection which wee to be made in the church that day. Out of this confusion, this sound of battle and of great destruction, I anticipate (mid the preacher) the great regalia of a notion awaking to its duties—to its moral and religious obligation.. I lock for ward when peace is once again restored, and the revenues of that great empire once again begin to replenish the coffers of the Siete, I look for the proper reoognmou of Christianity —for the earnest development of all the resources of ,e great an empire—for measures ialculated to elevate those millions of people in the scale of civilisation. I look for a deter mined and resolute edminionstion in that land dedicated to the progrrw and benefit of the people themselves. I look for nI being recognised so a theatre for the menisci of proMical Christianity—of political juatioe and of British phi Imthropy. I look for • policy whose first principle will be the benefit of India In contradistinction to the arrow selhohnose of English profits at the cost of a subject people. I know we must wade through rivers of blood before we pass the present tide of insurrection and can lay the foundation. of the reconstruction of our empire; but if we content comely.. to struggle in self-defence--to punish the blo:sithiraty and to spare the innocent; if we wage war to vindicate justice, and not to glut an unhallowed thirst for veogesnie—..hove all, if we turn aside the weapons of God's indignation, and hie armoury is no longer opened against ua for punishment, by our hang put on the whole armour of Salvation, and having felt that we must to all our acts and deeds endeavour to carry out the plait*. et the Geed of Christ, teaching us that all our doings will of themselves 611 unless Ilia arm sustain as, and God'. Holy Spirit guide and sanctify our work—if thus chastened and taught, we come forth from this present convulsion and confusion, then I cannot doubt that India will one day become a blessing and a glory to this realm of England, and we shall no more keep a day of fasting and humiliation for our sins, bat rather a day of thankaglving , that the sound of battle and destruction le no more heard in the land, and the armoury of the Lord shall be no more opened against um for ever.

TILE SCOTCH CHURCH, CROWN -COURT. Tar REV. Da. 6.14M1N0. Genesis lie., v. 36.—" All these things are against me." The preacher showed that we often draw untrue comb:alone from true premiss, and interpret es permanently disaitiocui what is only temporarily painful. This arose from the imperfection of our knowledge, the precipitancy of our judgment. and the omission of God in all our thoughts and calculations. We ahould look at our afflictions as chastise mente—not petudties—a... preparatory to purer lives here and eternal joys hereafter. He expressed his conviction that the awful baptism of suffertege, and morrows, and death, that had sprinkled the soil of India, was, deplorable and heart rending am we felt it to be, the introduction to enduring bleasings. The blood of so many victims was the seed of the church. It wes no vain sacrifice. There was • meaning and a mission in it, end what we know sot new we shall know hereafter. A voice come. from Cawnpore, and Luck now, and Delhi, and from either bank of the Ganges, " Be still, and know that lam God;" " I wi ll be exalted in the earth ;" " God bath said I will never lease thee nor forsake thee ;" and therefore every fugitive and captive in India may with the apostle boldly say, " The Lord fa my helper, I will not fear what man shall do unto me." This was not a time to enter on 'Amsted discussions as to how far all thin suffering might have been foresees, or who were the parties guilty of culpable blindness and neglect. It was our present duty to enlist, an behalf of the powers that be, all the dis posable might and resources of the empire, bloater to rush this sanguinary insurrection—this mur der ous (=gads against helpless babes and =offending women. They were not demanding vengeance; but. surely, just and due retri bution was merry as well as justice. They invoked not the sword against a single Hlndoo or Mahommedan woman or child ; but was it unjust to require that every gem found armed against our Queen and her authority in India should meet the traitors and the murderers' doom That wee not mere justice to the guilty, it was mercy to the rest of the empire. Here the highest political expediency and the purest justice were one. It was our duty, and he was RUM it was our instinctive impulse, to pray, ae with one heart and coke, that God, who is as near to every acre of India as of England, would be pleased in great merry to epee= his protecting shield over our countrymen and their wives 'and children, now exposed to savage and relentless proscription and cruelties. Aware that those who escape ere homeless and penniless, that luxury now pines in want and Min= is hungry, and the possessor of wardrobes stored with goodly apparel is naked, it was alike our duty and our privilege to visit or minister to the widow and the fatherless while wo keep ourselves unspotted from the world. Let every heart be a fountain of sympathy, and every puree a source of tmccour. Numbers of soldiers, victims of pasti lance and battle, whose widows and orphans are bequeathed to us—engineers and clerks, and countless employes in the civil departments—children at school in England, now orphans, and the schools unable to continue to m oms them—constitute together an amount of destitution and suffering of which we had no precedent in the late Crimean campaign. As if providentially meant to enable us to respond to this appeal from India, we have had a beuntsrue harvest, a lightening of taxation, and plenty of employment. As to the causes of this terrible outbreak, he believed they were not owing to the crimes nor the ava rice, nor the misgovernment of our country in India—the canoes were deeper far. It was :the;maturity of deep-seated and long-ripening elements. The Mnamilman and the Brahmin have seen light breaking in every day, and died- Uttheir respective superstivions—and all kinds of i fedge, secular and sacred , have equally this effect— and dreading the ebb of the tide of their deluded victims, and the lots of their own power, they have got up pretended MIME for combining the masses against Christians in India. With all our sins we have been too gigantic a bkesing to the heathen to hese the field for yet greater benefits. Incidents and interpocitigss, ebvintudy providential, have occurred so often is rapid succession since the first outburst at Meerut, that they mull not Lut be regarded co prophecies of PUCCCOS; and, taught a lesson from the past, we may, by God's blessing commence a course of polio,' in India that will sow broadcast on its gunny plains the seeds of golden harvests of religion, social order, bepristeett, and peace.
