Did every human being conic into the world with each the num ber of his days registered on his hack would not every day that passed produce refleition? Would not the Lone of every hour he felt with the keenest anxiety ; and is it to be supposed that we would not begin early to discharge with solicitude the duties ef Christianity, and lay up for ourselves leaven in reven ? Yet, if such a register presented itsel f in the congregation then bethre him, perhaps, many there were who had not a year, a month, a week, a day, to live ! But although all know they must die, none are willing to believe the period arrived ; and this reludance to be informed of what is of the last and highest consequence for us to know, is foolishly and criminally indulged by all aroand us : from what may be termed a tender barbarity, the death bed is flattered with the hope of lengthened life, and the expiring viaim of crethility is cheated out of the hour ofrepentance, winch he had year after year de ferred to that awful period! Foolish and fatal com promise with the world !—I .ikc the isiolators (*Cold who felled the cedar of Lebanon, appropriating IN most beautiful parts to the decoration of their pa laces, while they shaped the most base and worth less into agod, so we resign the fairest of our days to . the indulgence of our appetites, and offer to our Gad the vile refuse of a wretched abused world ! For the thoughtless and impetuous stage of youth, when the vigour of the passions league with the se thglions of the world, „some excuse might, perhaps, he admitted; but to see old men and women whose wrinkles should be their monitors, hobbling forward with disgusting avidity in the race of folly and of lice, unchecked by examples of death, as if by age they but struck deeper root into that earth, with which they were so soon to mingle, - was such abo niinable folly and insensibility of a future state, as scarcely to leave it within the common means of di iae mercy to enlighten or to save them. After toveliing with further force on this head, and re pcesmting the most successful worshipper of riches, power, and ambition, but as a colossus which, no sooner relied to the false envy and admiration of the world, but the hand of death delights to cruni • tie in the dust ;he doptiyael in his accustomed streog;ll and beauty of laaguaee, the consolation arising in the hour of death from a life dedicated to the duties ei Christianity—in that awful moment when the thunders of eternal judgment shall be l:eard rolling over our heads, no condaitor shall be found so effealual to avert the bolt of vengeance as the recolle.%Nrof a well-spent life. The preacher next elected more immediately into the object at his discourse, describing the origin and lettere of the lastitutioa for dispensing Medical As testance to the Infant Poor of the metropolis, and the extent of the benefits resulting therefrom; it was, he said, an emanation from the enquiry which tusk piece into the shocking abuses of the Foundling Hospital, and was set on I.xit by those Ladies, illus ti haus in good deeds and charity, who have since cherished the humane reninnation in the latter es tablishment, by their constant superintendence. In the course of three years, the period during which the Infant Dispensary has existed, upwards of 11,000 patients had been relieved, and of edual cares accomplished in cases of the most pitiable, sho king, and almost hopeless diseaw.

I declare, to you my brethren, that in iii years experience among you, the present is, in a particular degree, the case of all others which I have had to enforce from the pulpit, wherein a plain statement of faits super ceded the nczessity of eloquence, and wherein I found it most impossible to convey to you the im ression made upon my own feelings.—Among the congregation which I am now addressing, there are i . nany, whose rank and wealth, though nut exempt from some trials, mast shield them from the molest idea of those evils and miseries to which the pour little petitioners of this day are aubjea—from such, Heaven SWIMS in mercy to withhold the know ledge of calamities, which would disturb ai;d poison the enjoyments with which it has blessed teem : it is in their power to to gretetul and to vindicate the providence of Cud And I have no doubt but this day will furnish glotioes evidence, that while the lives of human beings weigh light as air in the scale of a senguinary and restless ambition, the preset-- Norma of their fellow-creatures is the first care of the truly benevolent and philentbropie inhabitants of du metropolis.

We have, on former occasions, found it necessary to endeavour to direct the attention of our country men to the interesting scene exhibited on the other side of the Atlantic. We now insert cnr.tt facts re lative to the Commerce and Revenue of the United States, contained in an extract from a debate in the Loeser House of Congress, on the lt;th of Decem ber which will finable our readers to form some judgment of the motives from which the Bill, now before our own Legislature, has been requested by the American Government. A census was taken in 1490, and returned to Congress in the autumn of 1301, according to which the Commerce and Reve. une have encreased in proportion much greater than that of the population. Getymil Sutra differed from the gentleman who spoke last, as to the el r eet uhich lie Legated to apprehend from ere reined of this .a.z. The effect he km w would be the very contrary, and was of s.. much Impurtance to the commie - eel iutereits of the United States, that is was for that very reason he willed that no delay might take place in adeptaig iuea sures far our commercial seeuety. It was found, very early after the est:oll4l=la ui our Ginernment, expedient to adopt a system pursued, by other natini s, iu laving such duties as wouel discriminate between our own and 4araigu wattage ; at that time our stripe were not aiiequat.: to carry uoe halt tai our pioduce to foreign markets; when diserintinatieg dative were laid, the measure appeared to act as a charm, aid be rend the expectations of the inlet eerignitie calculatiuns of c eninercial men, our tonitap duubied at a short period, we were not only very soon able to carry al out own prude'.:, hut to enter large). into trade abrea4. Other nations, atleeed Ly our sue ce-s, pa ticulariy Great Britain, devised ineeue to sitter into a comeention with us in their own niaikets, and enacted. countervailing laws, or devieed duties equal to the aliment which we head laid on to protect our own commerce. --rile war that hat lately ceased gave us gent advar.tag‘s ;• fur although new tottutervailing defies, and to an extent per •aps wit authorized lay existing treaty, were laid, yet as their tonnage was suejeet to a hige war insurance, front which COIN was exempt, we retained our advantage during the war ; which having now cheeged the relative state of thing-, as well with Great Britain as with other nations, it is incumbent on us to provide new means to guard our trade, and retatt%it in our own Ilands. By tee operation of the existing laws ur Great Britain laying coutitervailing duties, they los ses: an advantage -o great, es to make a difference of 18 dollars in their fasuur upon the freight of every hogshead of wheeze steppe! from our pints in a itr.tAh vessel ; they will ther*fore hive the whole differeerc of the market-price is their favour against American shipeers; and of consequence, if we do not make provision to geed : - .gainst the coutineency, toe whole in our carrying trade may go into their hands, for every man will ship his goods for a market where he can eff.et it on the tuna advanteeeous terms. We were circuit'- s:envoi in the same way with reg.trd to France, where her reguliitioni were never more disadvantageous to us than the British, though the state of her tontrege del not leave fount to apprehend so much. Ile had it from high authority, that the del •reece ill favour of the French tonnage in their ports over our, ado:Wilted to ten litres in the 100, ur about 1110 in the hogshead of tobacco only ; from whence it was evident that this step was necessary to be taken to bring us upon more equal terms of trade. The commerce in toLacco to that country is very important to us; to Great Britain we export only 14,000 hogsheads, we export to France 40,000 hogs heads The present was the season to make WC of our for tunate situation, and to .provide such regulations as would secure to terthat important leenres of trade; it 3 time eotrid be let with propriety on the sub:eft, and the measures proposed by the resolution would give its the best oppenunity . to use the advantage. We are new in a very deferent sitoatien from that ie which we stood on the passing of the diseriminatieg law : at teat time we had an inscfficioney of tonnage, and it sirs necessary to create a competent quantity; that has been eff.eleti ; and we have now torinege sufficient to carry on all our trade uptler judicious regulations, and it is eta interest to seek the mean: by which we can start U.-00 equal terms with them in our own and an their 'torts. We are comp:teat to enter into such a 3 amicable contest. Our strut of enterprise, and the skill of our maritime (-items, are equal, if nut :nee nor to any in th: world; and it is becoming cur ciicuniftances and situations to shun a '.art re:male warfare, while we seek a generous emulation of skill, industry, and elder:trite. We went to enter the parts of other aatioas much more than they went to cuter ours. lie that call carry the cheap eat and best will have the Advantage. We not only heed cheaper than other maim' , but we build better, and eel with few: r heads. We treed, th:refore, to other than espial term. to start tipuu. a Mr. GyilietteD was still utivatiseed by the reasons Omer by the tieueral. Ile agreed that it was desireble to secure as : much (tithe fureigu trade as we ceted C. our uyin veesels, rend if he could be pet-swirled that a repeat of the diserioneating duties would affect !hat purpose, or that :Leir contintiatice would exclude us from our uwn carryiifg trail he WOll4l as suredly vote for the reselutiun. But lie Mead nathing to satisfy him Ise teat point. With Great Bream, lie beheeed, nu such isseaeure could be effected in that way, and he qui-e -nemy' if it well prove more asiestiteeetus wale other 'rations, as they pursti • their own measures, whatever laws we Might adopt or repeal. It was true. that in Great Britain our tubat'co trade wa. stioietted to the d.sadvantage ui heavy duties ; but it s'tould be rectilerded, that comparatteely little is unt sawed in Great the. Nuittt ;HA other, Flits of Europe tile winsuoiption w. s ntuzli greater. Tobacco landed in England. therefore. Was not all eubjeeted to their heavy rluie s , because whatever was expiated haA the duties returned by way of Araw back ; sa that our tobac:o trade thither in /tine ficall but outs stood exactly upon the *Ante c:airges to which the Br.tith button's are subjezted. If we repeat the law laying disc:initiating duties, then we permit British shins to mine lino cur ;sets upon equal *muss with our own, and the con quette will be, that they will than become dur carriers. In France, likewise, there is little likelihood of advantage ac cruing by the repeal.

One of the greatest advantages of the constituent form is particularly felt by those of its members who have einbraced in their studies different branches of human knewle.lge. Th.: different setions which compose each of the classes, make between them a sort cf inte..ior commerce of information, which turns to the amusement and profit of all. It is thus that Citizen Levesque has passed from his historical labours to researches analogous to those of thesec tion of the analysis of sensations and ideas, in a me moir on the formation of laeguage considered with. reference to the most simple elements of the Greekf tongue. He admits that men at first had recourse to pantomimic representation, but he does not agree that it led them to the adoption of oral language, because pantomimic sign; have no organic relation; to vocal signs. But Nature has oedeieed, that, by the mere aspiration of the air which fills our lungs, we should render minds which gramnfariane denominate vowels. Anions every people these aspirations, or exclamations, tip. us the different. manner in which we arc affefted ; aspirations, more or less rude, are joined to them ; the emissions of them arc more or less lively or slow, more or less acute or gf ave, more or lass open or dull,_eccordieg to the charadicr or inteasity of the affections thei ex press. It is that which the author calls the ka:urd language; it enriched itself by the adjunEtion of soma consonants, which children, and cons.eluently sa vages, naturally pronounce, and render significative. The fecundity of its roots is proved by the great number of Greek words, which if you take the ter mination from, consist only of simple emissions of the voice, or f some syllables familiar to children. To this natural language was soon added what the author calls acquired kvirage: it has for its elements the different noises winch are excited *liv dilfe.rtee movements, as those of air, water, a light or heavy fell, the cries of animals, &c. " Men have learut this language, by frequeuting Nature as you learn a foreign language by frequenting those who speak it.
