rbtrb Vbrition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR• EXAMINATION OF BERNARD AT BOW-STREET THIS DAY. This afternoon, at three o' clock, Simon Bernard, who stands charged with being concerned in the late at tempted assassination, was placed at the bar. Mr. Bodkin appeared, as before, on the part of the Treasury, and Mr. Sleigh defended Bernard. The first witness called was M. Estieu, who produced a dagger and the oil-cloth covering of the parcel sent by the prisoner to M. °etre quip. The witness stated that he brought them from the Cour Imperial. Jean Leopold Favre—l am Inspector of the French police. I was near the opera on the evening of the attack. I saw two men wounded and one killed. I beard three explosions. M. Outrequin—l am a commission agent in Paris.l I deal in silks. I made the acquaintance of the prisoner in October, 1856. I first saw him in a cafe in Tichbourne street. The prisoner spoke about some dye for silk. This was the commencement of the acquaintance. I was in London for about ten days. I saw him every day. I returned to Paris, and had some comunication with the prisoner about the dye for the finks. I returned to England in March, 1857. I again saw the prisoner at the Cafe Suisse ; he was always accompanied by a Frenchmao. There was some conversation about a person named Hodge. I went to see Hodge. Early in December a letter was brought to me in Paris. I can't tell the date exactly. I don't know the handwriting. I have had correspondence with the prisoner. Mr. Bodkin—Do you believe that the letter is in the handwriting of the prisoner Mr. Sleigh objected to the question. Mr. Bodkin—ln whose handwriting do you believe the letter to be Witness—All make me believe that it is the hand. writing of the person who signed it, but I can't say. Mr. Bodkin—Who brought that letter to you Witness—Mr. Thomas Allsop. Mr. Sleigh asked to see the letter before it was read. It was accordingly handed to hire. After having perused it, the learned gentleman objected to the letter being read as there was no proof of who wrote it. The Magistrate ruled that the letter ought to be read. Mr. Sleigh still objected without he was allowed to oross-examine the witness. Magistrate—You have a right to do so. Mr. Sleigh—Very well.—Did you ever see the person write who signed this letter ? Witness—l have seen the person whose name is to that letter write but I cannot positively say this is the prisoner's handwriting. I hare never paid particular attention to the handwriting of the prisoner and I can not say whether he wrote it. The letter was then read, it was from Bernard, and stated the bearer (Allsop) was a friend of his visiting Paris and desired the witness to give him every attention it was in his power to do. Mr. Bodkin to witness —Have yon been lately to the Trench prison to see a person named Allsop ? Witness—l saw a person whom I knew as Allsop. Mr. Bodkin—ls that person detained under the name of Orsini 'l Mr. Sleigh objected to the question. Ia answer to further questions the witness said—The officer of police who went with me was M. Estieu. M. Estieu was here recalled and said—l accompanied the witness to the French prison and pointed out Orsini to him. The examination of the witness was then proceeded with—l received another letter (produced), but I don't know when. I can't find out by the envelope, but it was after the letter jest read. I believe it to be written by the prisoner because it is similar to the other. The letter was read, it related to " placing in con signment" some magnificent pistols (revolvers) in Paris. Examination proceeded—That was the first time I heard anything about pistols from the prisoner. Another letter dated " Saturday, London," was here put into the witness' hand. I believe this to be the same handwriting as the other. The letter was one from Bernard. It thanked the witness for the inforraetion about the pistols, and went to ask what sort of handkerchiefs would beat sell in Paris. It also thanked him for the attention he had given his friend Allsop. Another letter was submitted to witness. It announced that two pistols bad been sent as patterns. The witness then proceeded—l received a parcel immediately after the letter arrived. The oil-skin cover now shown to me is the same that was on the box. It eontained two eases, each having a pistol and the neces sary apparatus. The boxes before me are like those I received. The person who I knew as Allsop called on me the same day as the packet arrived. He spoke about the pistols. Mr. Bodkin—What did he say 1 Mr. Sleigh objected. The magistrate overruled the objection. Witness—Allsop examined the pistols after having asked me if I had received them. Allsop gave as a reason for coming that he wanted to know whether I bad received the pistols, but I did not attach any im portance to the conversation. The next day Allsop called again and took away one of the boxes containing a pistol. I recollect being at home the Sunday before the attempt. Allsop called that day in the morning, and I accompanied him to a hotel in Paris. him the Hotel!delFrance et de Champagne, Rue Mont martre. I did not go in. Mr. Bodkin—Did Allsop say anything about another person a friend of his who would buy a pistol I Mr. Sleigh again objected, but the question was put. Witness—Allsop said that a friend of his, a German, would take one. I think he said his name was Pierry. I left Allsop at the door of the hotel and returned home. I have seen the man Pierry since, but it was dark, so I can't recollect. It was at Allsop's lodgings at the Rue Montaba, but I can't remember the day : but it was before I accompanied Allsop to the hotel. In the course of that Sunday I discovered that the pistol had been taken away. Allsop paid me the amount of the carriage ; 251. 25 centimes for carriage_ Mr. King was recalled, and recognised the seal of the South Eastern Railway Company on the oilskin cover. —That enables me to say that the parcel produced is the same as I received from the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l have had converse cations with Frenchmen when they have arrived at the office. I never had a conversation with the prisoner on any other occasion than the one I have alluded to. I am positive of it. The reason I spoke about it on the day when he brought the parcel was because he asked me so particularly about the trains that I thought he was going back. By Mr. Bodkin. —I perfectly recollect that the parcel to which I have alluded was not secure, and that I affixed the seal thereon. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l don't know that the expression about going back " when the Emperor comes here" was a common one with Frenchmen. I never heard it before. The prisoner here handed a small piece of pleer to a person in court to give to the witness, Outreqein, but Mr. Durkin, the superintendent, took the paper, and before it was given he wished the magistrate to know the fact. The paper was not handed to the witness but was given to Mr, Sleigh, who said the prisoner was un acquainted with the forms of the English Court. Madame Outrequin said—l am the wife of the witness Outrequin. I know a person of the name of Allsop. I first saw him at our house in Dec., 1857. I have also seen an Englishman there ; his name was Hodge. Allsop and be came together. Mr. Allsop brought a letter of recommendation to my husband. I only saw Hodge once ; it was in December. I have seen Allsop frequently at our house since that time. He usually came alone. I recollect a parcel containing pistols arriving, and was present when it was opened. It was in a cover like the one produced. It contained two boxes, in each of which was a pistol. It also con tained a bit of coal, or pitch ; nothing was done with that. I think Mr. Allsop carried away one of the boxes of pistols. I was at home when Allsop first Came. I think it was in the month of December. Allsop came to our house the same day the parcel arrived. He a t: n othing, but the boxes were shown t o him. lie not say what he came for. They spoke about pistols whe n Allsop said they had arrived at the house. He said there was to b a y One. e _a German, a friend of his, who was did not h ear hi m men tion the name of the Pers on , the Sunday recollect Allsap coming to the house on wentbeforeout t . the attack on the Emperor. My husbandcem one camewaityhdhim. Whilst my husband was never saw him, before' took away the other pistol. I ' l and not knowing whether my husband bad sent him, name aß did ked his name and address. Mr. Bodkin—Wh a t Mr. Sleigh objected to thueecsite he question. ou g ht iev.e The Magistrate said the q Witness—He gave me a card.l t had only " Hotel de France" on it. He said his name was Pierry, and h e wrote that name in my presence. By Mr. Sleigh—Some time after a person came to me, it was a lady I did not know. I h ave b een taken by IC Estieu to the prison in France, and there I saw the perso n I knew as A.II et_in.ue recognised he s r ° e P' recalled—l pointed out to her is r eeo Ti o eciNnised him immediately. A person named Allsop live at No. 10, nd aaid—l ßue Montmartre. retsided there. I have been to the prison, and there s aww ho h: itma p tm e e r de a d o . n t a t k new as Allsop. M. Estieu here aga in he pointed out Orsini to the witness, immediately recognised him as Allsop. wase ne d l received :t Witness—The passport sho wn is th e e s it forregistry to Aug, t from the person I knew as Allsop. 15, 185 1 , and I afterwa r ds se nt proper authorities. It was made out i n the name the proper of Thomas Allsop. Mr. Bodkin said that this passport was originally granted to the real Thomas Allsop, for whose apprehen awn a reward has been offtred, and that it was the to travel on the continent practice of Orsini under the assumed name of Allsop. By Mi. Bodkin —The person I knew as Alleop,lodged with me up to the time ha was taken into custod .. y ou b , y e the police. Oa the eveningof the attempt he left my h between 7 and S. lie had somebody with him, but I don't know who. I knew his servant Gomez. Allsop returned d about 9 o'clock in the evening , covered with blood. got a washbasin and bathed his face. There was a wound on the temple. The police arrived between two and three the next morning, and took him into custody. Gomez was also taken into custody, The police leo took possession of the passport. I recollect the ' names of two persons who used to visit Alleop prior to the attempt. One was named Pierry the other De Silva. When I went to the French prison I did not see Silva. I have not seen him since. I recollect t hat Allsop kept a horse. He hired it about 4 days before the attempt, and occupied a stable adjoining the house. Mr. Bodkin—l do not intend to proceed further with the case to-day, and as several of the witnesses are required in Paris for the trial which is to commence the day after to-morrow, a remand for a shorter time than eight days would not be of any use. On that occasion another part of this case will be opened. Mr. Sleigh then made a very forcible appeal to the magistrate to admit the prisoner to bail. Mr. Bodkin strongly objected to the application. Mr. Jardine—l objected on the first occasion to admit the prisoner to bail. I f..ml doubly justified now in refusing the application. The prisoner was ultimately remanded to this day week. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK (This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL. (Sitting at Nisi Priug, before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. BROWN AND OTHERS. NINTH DAT. The trial of the information against the directors and manager of the Royal British Bank for conspiring by false pretences to defraud the shareholders and Cl 3. tomers and the public, was this day resumed. The same counsel appeared as before. Lord Campbell, on taking his seat oa the bench, an nounced that the prosecution would be deprived of the further assistance of Sir F. Thesiger. Ue candidly con fessed that he should have been well pleased to have had the assistance of that learned gentleman till the con clusion of the trial ; but, at the same time, he must express his satisfaction, which he felt assured was shared in by the bar and the country, on his elevation. (..kp plause.) _ . Mr. Sergeant Ballantino said the bar concurred in congratulating the learned gentleman on his elevation, and the prosecution much regretted his loss in the com pletion of the trials. Mr. Crawford was recalled, and said that during Cameron's absence from illness durin: January and May, 1855, Mr. Esdaile took the general management of the bank. The green ledger, general ledger, share ledger, and diary and bills book were frequently before him, and they were also before Mr. L. M. Valiant and Mr. Stapleton. Witness prepared the periodical balance sheet in the mode adopted when he joined the bank by his predecessor, in the course of their preparation he got out details in a tabular form of the assets and liabilities of the bank which were extracted from the balance and ledger-book. He held in his hand three proof impres sions of the balance-sheet for the half-year ending Dec. 1855, but each is different. The first is a printed form filled in by witness in red ink of the balances in the books, and delivered to Mr. Cameron, the general manager ; after that, by Mr. Cameron's direction, he prepared a second balance-sheet, which was a printed balance-sheet, in Feb., 1355 ; in the first, the paid-up capital was called 127,0001., and the new shares were put in the inner column along with the deposits ; in the second form the paid-up capital was raised to 150,0001., by applying that portion of the deposits for new shares that had been paid in full. When Mr. Cameron gave this direction to make the alterations, witness thought he said the balance-sheet had been under the consideration of the board. The third balance-sheet contained the alterations in the second and some other trifling ones, and was the last he prepared previous to the final balance-sheet which was read to the shareholders at the meeting. The tabular statement on which the final balance-sheet was based was pat in. The witness then detailed the amount of the suspense account, past-due bills, &c., &c., inserted as assets, which have already been given. The balance-sheet was audited in his pre sence. He produced before the auditors statements of the assets and liabilities similar to those he had spoken to. There was a difference in them to those he handed Mr. Cameron. The accounts were differently described. In the statement of assets, as first shown, the bill account was headed in the precise form in which they stood in the bank books, but in the copy before the auditors they were simply entitled bill account, No. 1, 2,3, and so on. The loan account was similarly named. Convertible securities being called loan account 1.* , T0. 1, and past-due loans, loin account No, 2. Mr. Cameron, with hie own hand, altered the titles of the account before they went to the auditors. An alteration was first made, so early as 1853, in the statements produced for the auditors, and they continued to be made down to 1855. Tne auditing usually occupied three or four hours. In 1853, after the accounts had been altered, he said to Mr. Cameron, Mr. Page, one of the auditors, appeared to consider that he was entitled to see all the bills and securities of the bank. Mr. Cameron replied it was no portion of the duty of an auditor to go into those matters, or into the personal accounts. He also said Mr. Page mistook his duty, and were he to carry oat his view?, he should sit at the beard-room table, go into all the transactions of the bank, and there, de die in diem, revise and comment on all the bank's transac tions. Such a duty would entirely take away the functions of the directors. If the auditors required to see anything in the books he showed it to them. He read the accounts off to the auditors. The balance sheet of 1855 contained in the assets all the proved bad debts, such as Welsh works, &c. In the ledger these accounts were ranged under different beads. The Welsh mines were ruled under the suspense account and convertible securities, cash credit account, adjusting interest account, amount ing in the gross to 103,003/. 2.3. .5c1., up to December, 1855. Witness then detailed the manner in which the others were more or less spread over the above accounts. The Islington Cattle Market debt amounted to 8,6001. ; Mullens', 10,6461. 16 , . 31. ; Brown's, 79,437/. 3s. ld. : Oliver's, 14,1621. 43. Si. ; Macgregor'e, 7,3691. B*, 31, ; Blacker's, 4,5181. 2d. ; Gwynne'e, 13,4151. 19 , . 11 , 1. ; Cochrane's, 9,5331. 3s. 3d. ; Cameron's, 24,599/. ls. 51, 'deducting 6931. Bs. 101., balance of his drawing account). By Mr. Sergeant Shee—The balance-t , he-A - ,vm drawn out on the recognised principle of book-keeping. The accounts showed appear i❑ the balance-sheet as they were in the books. A debt, unless it was entirely hope less, ought not to bo written off, and, of course, it mast come into the balance-sheet in the character of an assort until that was done. By Sir F. Kelly—The reserve fend for meeting bad debts was ferined on a calculation of 5 per cent. on the net profits, and that was the meaning of the item 3071. for that purpose in the balance-sheet of Dec., 1855. No calculation or examination was then made of the actual amount of bad and doubtful debts, but there was in June, 1855. The balance sheets of June and Dec , 1855, did not include ep•cific items of bad debts. On one occasion witness hazarded a remark to a director. When Mr. Cameron came to him and said "I understandyou have been speaking to Mr. Cochrane. I think it excessive bad taste on your part, and any recurrence of it wilt meet with my most severe displeasure." By Mr. D. Seymour Witness became general manager after Mr. Cameron left, on 22d July, 1858. A balance-sheet of June, 1856, handed in, had corrections on it in Mr. Munro's handwriting. Up to August, 1856, he believed the bank wool I be able to dispose of their interest in the Welsh Works satisfact , rdy, and be no substantial sufferer by it. It way Mr. Cameron's policy to keep up a bad debt fund. By Mr. Atherton—After June, 1855, no interest was computed on 42,000/. of bad debts included in the subsequent balance.sheets or assets. Out of 70,0001. odd, Mr. Brown's discounts 8,0601. 14j. 11d, was for current trade bill& During the last few days of the bank deposits did not come in very fast, and it had sold out nearly all its stock. Mr. Williamson stated that he was assistant.acoount ant of the bank. Mr. Crawford informed him on one occasion that it was Mr. Cameron's wish Mr. L. M. Valiant, a director, should not be assisted is his exami i nation of the books, and witness gave him as little assistance as possible in prosecuting his inquiries. (Laughter.) 4d1.3:.2d September By Mr. Seymour—He did not know if it was stated that Mr. Cameron's object was to prevent one director examining the account of another director. By Mr. Atherton—The cash book showed o❑ the cash acco creditaccount t o aide, another, as transfe rred follows w... ,it h f i r n o from one few days of the stoppage ;—.27th August, 1800, 18,1391.

It stated that Mr, Efdaile was not aware the Tilt SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVILNING, capital was not paid up when the charter was obtained, and his impression that the bank did not make, in a commercial phrase, sufficient provision for bad debts. The affidavit P et out the different debts that had been the subject of investigation during 'the trial, and gave a detailed account of the transactions in reference to them, it also referred to the additional Icharter and the issue of new shares in consequence. It stated also the appointment of various committees of the board before whom, almost every day, questions arose relative to past-due bills and loans ; it further stated the principle on which the balance-sheets were made up, and the system of banking carried on. The directors consented to the issue of new shares, in the hope that by doing so they would increase the capital and prevent the run on the shareholders. The applica tion for issuing new shares did not arise from the want of money, but to strengthen the bank and allow them to recover their lost po',ition. He had no idea when the application was made for a new charter. He had no knowledge of the 71st clause of the charter, making it necessary that the bank should stop when one-fourth of the capital was lost. He denied that he had been actuated by any sinister object, and his whole time and attention had been devoted to furthering the success of the bank. Mr. Peter Brow❑ was called, and proved what took place at a meeting of directors and shareholders, held on the Ist Feb., 1856. Re took a report of the proceedings at the request of the directors, and he now produced an accurate abridged report of the meeting. It was handed in and read by the associate. The pur port cf it was that the direc►tors of the bank represented the bank a 3 being in a prosperous condition. Mr. Gatherer was recalled. He proved the certificate of application to the Board of Trade for the supplemental charter, on 15th January, 1855. The certificate stated that 100,000/. worth of nsw shares, of 1001. each, bad been subscribed for ; that 50,000/ had been paid up ; and that the subscribers had executed the necessary deed. Witness then detailed the circumstances in con nection with the issuing of circular advertisements, &c., and the application for shares in consequence. He stated that the shares of the second issue were transferred to the third issue. Mr. Crawford was then examined at great length rela tive to the instructions he received from Cameron, to take necessary steps for the purchase of shares that were known to be going into the market, to prevent which a broker was employed to purchase them (at the average price of 501. par) in the name of Henry Empson, who. , e account at the British Bank was debited with the amount. As dividends were due on these shares they were placed to the profit of the company. There were many transactions of this soot, amounting in the aggre gate to 9,0001. At the end of 1855, &Lipson's private account stood at 6,403/. 101. That amount was carried into the balance sheet as part of the assets of the bank. Mr. Scott (broker) proved making the purchase by order of the Bank, for Mr. Henry Empson. Mr. Crawford, in answer to Sir F. Kelly.—On the face of it Empson's account would show' him to be the bona fide purchaser and holler of the shares. Empson applied to the board for an indemnity, but Mr. Staple ton refused anything of the sort. This was just before the failure of the bank. Evidence was then given to the purchase of the shares by the bank in the name of Empson. The next witness examined was Mr. Thomas Dakin— He stated thatho joined the directory after the represon tations of Mr. Alderman Kennedy, an old friend of his, who said the bank would become one of the leading institutions of the country. He said the bank had one or two " lock-ups" of capital, which bad retarded its progress, but he thought so well of the bank that he had introduced Mr. Valiant, his brother-i , law. Witness paid 1,0001. for twenty shares and joined the board, but finding afterwses that the bank were iron manufac turers, and other matters occurrin.z, he resigned the direction and insisted repayment of his money, which was done by direction of Mr. Esdaile. By Mr. Sergeant Shee—He had the highest opinion of Alderman Kennedy's integrity ; such was his general character. Mr. W. Nicholl, of Eccleston-square, merchant, was induced to become a shareholder on the representation of Mr. Alderman Kennedy. He had 20 shares, for which ho paid 1,0001., in 1855; from information he subse quently obtained he refused to become a director. In February following he sold his shares ; ten of them were first sold in the market for 5001., and they were trans ferred to Mr. Empson. Later in the month he sold the remaining 10 shares, which were also transferred to Empson for 5001. By Mr. Shee—He first knew Alderman Kennedy, in Bombay, in 1811 ; he understood Alderman Kennedy was the physician-general—he always bore a high cha racter for integrity and honour. By Mr. James—Witness was a director of the Lon don and County Bank. He did not know if that bank commenced with a capital of 84,000/. After some further evidence of a similar character, the court adjourned at a quarter past five o'clock. The case for the pru6ecution is expected to finish early _ to-marrow morning.

TBE INCOME TAX. Last evening a public meeting (at the instance of the Property and Income Tax Association) was held at the Loudon Tavern, for the purpose of con sidering the best means of obtaining a more equi table adjustment of the taxes on trades and pro ftssions. Mr. Alderman Wire was in the chair. In commencing the business of the meeting the CHAIRMAN observed that the inconvenience of the income tax was its inequality and the iniquitous mode of its levy. He counselled agitation until both these evils were removed by some very mate rial alteration in the management, of this tax, or even until its abolition. He was quite aware that taxes must be levied, and must be borne, for the purpose of carrying on the great business of the c - ,untry, but what he and those associated with him wished was that all taxes, and especially the income tax, should be more equally and more justly laid. The chairman proceeded to argue the matter of the inequality and injustice of the tax, especially as it affected the various classes of society who were compulsorily brought under its influence —more particularly those who had to earn their ' bread by the sweat of their brow. The inquisito rial nature of the tax was warmly dwelt upon by the speaker, who denounced the prying into the papers of business people in order to enable the inquisitors to arrive at the conclusions necessary to required, ends. The question of false returns being mide, which could not but tend to keep up a system of false credit, also came in for a large share of the speaker's condemnation. His final remarks were to the effect that whatever Govern ment might come into office, this one thing was certain, that the right men must be found for the right places, and that their duty must be taught, and would be found in the doctrine of retrench ment in the expenditure of the public exchequer. Mr. ELT (Islington) moved are solution—" Tuat the present mode of charging one uniform sate on all classes of income without reference to the source whence those incomes are derived—whether per manent or precarious—is manifestly unjust, and tends to create a general and systematic evasion, and has been submitted to for the last 16 years under the repeated plea that the tax was only re quired for temporary purposes ; and that this meet ing is of opinion that in any future alteration in the existing law, the charge on incomes derived from trades and professions (schedules D and E) should not exceed one-half the charge on funded and realised property." Mr. J. HIGHAM (one of the honorary secretaries) seconded the resolution. Mr. GANNON, who stated that he was, and bad been, a tradesman of 32 years in the neighbour hood of the Strand, deemed himself entitled to' hearing. He moved an amendment to the effect that all persons whose incomes did not amount to 1501. a-year should be altogether excluded from the operation of the income-tax. The amendment was lost, 20 ha nds only being held up for it in a large meeting, and the resolution carried. Mr. RICHA.RDSON then moved that the follow ing petition be adopted (which was seconded and carried) :—" That, whereas, by laws in -t fOrce relative to the incom e tax, it is prowdnow e the said tax shall be reduced to sd. in the pound on and after the sth day of April next, and expire on the sth day of Aptil, 1860 ; and that in the opinion of your petitioners the present mode of charging one uniform rate on all classes of income, without reference to the source wbenee those in comes are derived, whether permanent or precari ous, is manifestly unjust, .and tends to create a general and systematic evhasion. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray tat should your honour able house feel it desirable to increase the amount chargeable under the present law, due provision may be made in any future enactment that ti.e amount payable under schedules D and E of the acts now in force shall not exceed one-half the amount.payable on property under schedules A, B, and C." A vote of thanks to the chairman accompanied by three cheers, concluded the business of the evening. - LIST OF SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES. Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid. 1 Price.

Last night the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon preached in the Scotch Church, Regent square (Dr. Hamil ton's), in aid of this very valuable organisation. The place was well filled ; but, from the ad mirable arrangements which .had been made in regard to the issue of tickets, and the restric tion of the admission to persons who pos sessed them, it is not too much to say that this celebrated young preacher perhaps never ad dressed an audience, in a strange place, who were able to assemble and find seats more comfortably than the audience last evening. He was assist. d in the preliminary devotions by the Rev. Dr. Hamilton. He took for his text, "Gather out the stones." Isaiah chap. 62, verse 10. On this he founded a discourse characterised by his usual ability. The " stones" he described as obstacles which it was the duty of Christian people to remove out of the way of those who were thereby prevented from hearing the gospel preached: Amongst the various stones or obstacles which he neticed, the first was the consecration of places of worship ; but, he said, to remove this stone, they would pi each anywhere so that good might be done. The second was the abstruse and unintelligible style which preachers sometimes adopted, and to remove this, he said, they would be as plain as possible. The third stone was the inconsistencies of people who professed Christianity, to remove which, he said, Christians would s►rive to avoid causes of offence. The fourth stone was that Christians were gloomy ascetics, men walking in darkness ; to try to remove which, he said, Chris tians would labour to obey the injunction of the Apostle, who commanded them to " rejoice in the Lord alway." The fifth stone was the long hours during which many persons were obliged to labour, which rendered it impossible, they said, for them to attend to the concerns of their souls. From Monday morning till Saturday night, there was nothing but work ! work ! work 1 and if these poor people came to a place of worship on the Sundays it would require something as powerful as the trump of the Archangel Gabriel to keep them awake and atteetive. They might well say :-- "Christ's yoke is easy, but the yoke which a.pro fessedly Christian public imposes upon me is other wise." This overvvolking was a stone which lay in the path of thousands, and it was the duty of Christian people to remove it. The rev, gentleman at great length, and with much eloquence, showed that it was the duty of all those who profess and call themselves Christians, if they were masters, to close early, and, if they were merely customers, not only not to shop late themselves, but to avoid deal ing at shops which kept open late, for others, He made a particularly touching appeal on behalf of the poor dressmakers, exposing very powerfully the criminal thoughtlessness of those ladies who, by the lateness at which their orders are often given, keep these poor creatures at work night and day almost continuously for the paltry sums which are doled out to them by their employers. Judging from the long rows of carriages which lined the approaches to the church, this powerful appeal was addressed to the class which is especially blamable in this regard ; and it is to be hoped, for the sake of humanity, that it will not be utterly lost upon those in whose bands the remedy rests. He said teat, once riding with a farmer, the latter stopped the vehicle and got down to pick up a broken glass bottle, which he threw over the hedge, exclaiming as he re-entered the vehicle, "Ah ! I lost a 'good horse throUgh a broken bottle like that, and I should be sorry that any one else should sustain such a loss." He urged Christian's to act on this man's example, and remove every stone out of the way, and particularly the Obstacle of late hours, which he said prevented the thoughtless from being impressed, stifled impressions where theyelid exist, and even when a man became a Christian prevented the development of the religious life. His perore tion was particularly powerful, and at the conclu sion of the service a collection was made in aid of he society's funds. Country Markets, CHELMSFORD—Dm. 19.
