ORIGIN OF LIFE. , By JAMES MORISON, the Ilygeist. By this short treatise any person of common understanding; may at once see.why all the deadly poisons now used as medleines - can never tend_ to cure any disease. Also, why all mental diseases should he treated like other complaints ; and also why such fallacies as mestrterisin, electro-biology, homoeopathy, can never be of servide as curative agents. As it is most important that all persons should be. fullyinfornipd on these questions, the alJove treatise will be forwarded by post to all persons, on application at the British College of Health, Sew-road, London. Year. Total From this it is finned that the business done during the last year is larger than that of any preceding year, and that 613 Policies were effected yielding Annual Premiums to the extent of 10,5271. This Society is the only one-possessing Tables for the Assuratice of Diseased Lives. The premium charged in such cases is reduced to ordinary rates, on restoration to permanent health. Healthy Lives assured at lower rates than at most other effices. A Reversionary Bonus• was added to the policies at last Division of Profits, equal to about 50 per cent..on the premiums paid. The Policies issued by this Society give greater Menthes to parties going to or residing in foreign climates than those of any other com pany. Premiums for India and the Colonies very moderate. Every description of Life Assurance business is transacted by this Society. Prospectuses, Forms of Proposal, and every other information may be obtained of the Secretary at the Chief Office, - or on application to any of the Society's Agents in the country. F. G. P.

Sin,—lt appears by the " Medical Times" of the 24th instant that the whole medical body is in a state of alarm at the conviction of a medical practitioner in Cornwall, who has been sentenced to' 10 years' transportation for administering saving to a young woman with intent to produce abortion. Every medical man who ad ministers a poison now fancies that he stands a chance of trans portation. If such were really the case, we do not hesitate to say that a great boon would be conferred upon society; but we presume that so long as poisons can be used, or held out as medicines. in order to prop up the guinea-trade, they will continue to figure in the pharmacopoeia, and in the chemist's shop. It is truly lamentable to see even the State, lending itself to the countenance of these deadly poisons, rather than that the trade of doctors should suffer ; otherwise, why did they not In clude at least a dozen other poisons in Lord Carlisle's Bill about the sale of arsenic ?

As to judge and jury, they are mere automatons in the hands of doctors. And why is all this? Simply because the science of me dicine, as it is called, is a jumble of absurdities and contradictions, having no fixed principles ; and which, in the hands of doctors, can be turned and twisted to suit any emergency. This conviction will, we trust, enlighten the public on what we call the "medical liberty of the subject," it will show them the ex tent of the power possessed by the man with the diploma in his pocket. Assuming Pascoe to be innocent (which we do not pretend to say), here is the liberty of a man taken away on the mere ipse dixit . of a common country doctor, although tried before a most acute, learned, and humane judge ; bet himself completely in the hands of the doctor. Now, we ask, should the liberties of Englishmen he placed in such jeopardy? What miserable exhibitions doctors make Of triemseives and their calling whenever they come before the courts of law ! in the present case we shall fled them calling on the Govern ment to annul a sentence became it tends to make them responsible for the administration of poisons. Most likely l'ascoe will be pardoned ; it would be a pity that the least check should be given to the poison traffic ; the guinea -trade might suffer ; some more respectable doc tor might be. made answerable, and sentenced to ten years' trans portation, which would be highly unpleasant. We suppose this case was brought before the world quite by mistake. Mr. Moorman, who gave evidence, Is catching it right and left from his medical brethren. In conclusion, we have oniy to repeat that the crime of poisoning, and all other misdeeds ensile , out of it, will n o t rece i ve a check until doctors cease fr om administering poisons as medicines. So lung as they, themselves, are at the very kead and front of the offenders, all law and Justice must lie prostrate, and the most guilty party most easily escape. Why do Hygeistraelairn the - medical liberty of the subject ? Be cause they do not deal with poisons. If medicine were reduced to what Ifygeists contend it should be, such cases as Pascoe's could not occur unless the party really a c t e d f e l on i ously. But, as it is, any doctor may give what poison he, pleases, and then say.that lie gave it "medicinally." And eE what.law, touch him? Surely, the people fearlessly ask is much h l e o r n e g to ,e put up with the present order of things, b y w hi ch the lives of the mu people are kept in constant jeopardy, and the law and the judges brought into contempt. Let a stop be put to the sale of all, poisons by all pharmaceutical chemists ; anti all doctors, whether diplo mated or not, be prevented from prescribing them for diseases ; then, anti then only, will the country be In a safe and healthy state, not otherwise. We are,•sir, your obedient servants. TIIE..MEMBERS OF TILE BRITISH COLLEGE OF IMALTII. April 26, 1852. " Health, tecreation, and national Use of Time."

TIMES.—It is searcelY possible to'overrate the disas trous, and we fear permanent consequende of Lord John Russell's late proceedings to his own reputation, to the party with which ho is connected, and to the future prospects of the Liberal cause throughout the country. By one and the seine act ho has contrived to repudiate with factious effrontery a measure not more objection able than that which he had himself just declared neoea sary for the defence of the country; to alienate one por tion of his supporters, to humiliate another, and to exasperate .them all; to place the Ministry at the head of a triumphant majority on the first important division, though it had just - taken office with an acknowledged minority in the House of Commons; to detach from big own following and - tO, transfer to that of his oppoaenta the very men whose, support it was most essential for himself to win or to regain; and to shake the faith of all parties alike in the character and judgment of such a leader. In a' word, Lord John Russell by his single speech in opposition to the second • reading of the Militia Rill has • given the severest blow to his reputation and influence which they ever received, and has lost tho game he still pertinaciously affected to play. When ho threw down his cards at the' commencement of the session, it wee ea'sy.to porceivo that with temper, foresight, and reselgtien, - a skilful player would still hare won the rubber. Ile chose, however, to go oat of office, and to continue his Campaign in opposition. From that moment he has accumulated every fault on his un happy party. , Instead -of attempting to re-construct his power on a basis at once Liberal and Conservative, ho courted the Radicals, - and alarmed his truest friends and the country by threats of organic. change. Instead of waitieg until the course of events should again point . . . • " . in his direction and invite his influence, bo tiirunt self forward in every petty dispute; jealous of every rival chief, and hostile to any scheme- in which the first part might not he reserved for himself. On the first opportunity which . presented itself for a directly adverse movement, iestend of magnanimously as sistiug the Government to perform a public duty, and endeavonring if he could to improve the Militia Bill in Committee, he resists the second reading, and only learns by the majority of 150 vote, is against !inn that the party ho still prefessed to lead will not perform actions 60 base and impolitic at his bidding. The minority con• sisted of the whole body of Radical Members, who voted on principle againstthe Militia Bill under any form, and who would have voted against Lord John's own Bill, just as they voted against Mr. Walpole's; and L 0 L a mes must be added a, portion of 'the rank and file of the late Ministry, obedient for the hot time le Lord John's. com, wands, though deeply irritated .-at at the degradation in flictod opthem by inconsistency and by defeat. On the other side, hOwever, men of the first weight and impor tance in the Liberal cause stopped Short in this career. Lord Palmerston and his personal adherents found thowsolres entirely detached from their former connexions and more nearly allied to the pre sent Goverrunent: Lord Shelburne and Sir Charles Letnon, remarkable for their near con nexion with the Maequis of Lansdowne, voted with the, Government and against • Lord John Russell , Lord SeyMour spok e and.ygoted against his late Pr e m ier . Mr. Bonham ;Carter e the seconder of the. Whig address last February, and many others separated themselves from their , feeder; and the numbers of the minority barely exceeded that of the Chosham-place meeting. It is due to the Most eminent and experienced members of the Whig party to express our conviction —we might SOY our knowledge—that not one of them approved the course Lord John Russell thought fit to take on this occasion. That Connie was . not the result of delibera tion between:hire and the persons with whom he was wont to act; and, if it is to be attributed to the clandes tine influence of " a domestic Cabal, the authors of such advice aro fitly punished by the loss of his influence and the injury to his riPuttition. It would be difficult to meet with a friend or adherent of the late Government, gifted with ordinary penetration, who did not foresee that such a course avas fraught with irreparable mis chief to themselves; and, though the amount of the ma jority far surpassed all . calculation, it proved beyond dispute that the party • Was lees blind than. the statesman they had the misfortune to trust. For ourselves, adhering to the opinion we have long ago expressed, we confess that even the, magnitude of this blunder does-not take us entirely by surprise. Yet the quality upon which Lord John seemed principally to rest his claims to bo considered a great Statesman was his profound knowledge of Parliamentary tactics and his consummate ability in the heat of Parliamen tary' battles. Whate v -4 his former merits may have been in this respdet, ho seems now to have fought his Weterlocennet that not on the winning side. Mon arrive at the same Conclusions by'slow degrees and by different paths, and if it be true that the singular disasters the Liberal party has of -tete .undergone (whilst its prin ciples aro still so much in the ascendant that even their adversaries do them hoe:lege) aro mainly due to the pre sumption and inefficiency of its chief, we may safely leave it to the course of trenlS to • determine the true value of Lord John Russell's leadership. We thought it certainly neither a wise nor hOpeful policy to continue to in trust the interests of the Liberal cause in this country to the identical chief who had brought them while in power to their present condition, and who bad never been -induced to make the slightest sacrifice of his own conse quence sir opinions to the public welfare. Nevertheless, that experiment has been 'confidingly made, and it has -led to the anticipated result. The party was first weak ened while - in - office by an invincible repugnance to lop off and renew whatever was feeble or worn out. It was then thrown out of office by a freak, caused probably by a sense of inability to'meet . the consequences of former rash engagements. It has now been divided, and we must say in part disgraced, by an act so inconsistent and unpatriotic that we can find scarce any parallel for it in our Parliamentary annals. Reasoning from these known facts, are we not justified in asserting that the anther_ of .tineh• mistakes and failures is not the Minister d A I . sthatinfluence is suffer° to the c3untryat large ? —6.011 g a ; 1 f its into ad.

"Their Lordships will deeply deplore the fate of them devoted missionaries; but this lesaoa of experience will have its elT,:ct. The earnest application of sanguine minds for the propagation of Christianity must, in a climate like Cape Horn, first consider the locality where existence can be insured. I have desired Captain Mor shead to carefully peek the remnants that he has col lected, and they will be forwarded to the Admiralty-0y the Daphne. Such as can be transmitted by the naltil are sent herewith. "I have, &0., "FAIRFAX MORESBY, Rear• Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. " The Secretary of the Admiralty." " Her Majesty'3 shin Dido, at sea, lay. 55.58 S., long. 65.0 W., Jan. 22, 1552, Cape Horn West 30 miles. "Sir,—ln compliance with orders from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, dated Ootober 25, 1851, directing me to ascertain the fate of Captain Gar diner and his missionary party in Tierra del Fuego, on my way to the Pacific, it is my melancholy duty to re port, for their Lordships' information, that the whole party have perished by starvation. " Having received information from the Rev. G. P. Despard, of Redland, Bristol, honorary secretary to the Patagonian Missionary Society, I learnt that the party, consisting of Captain Allen Gardiner, R.N., superin tendent; Mr. Williams, surgeon and catechist; Mr. Maidment, catechist; John Erwin, carpenter; John Badcoek, John Bryant, and John Pearce, Cornish fisher men, left England in September, 1850, in the barque Ocean Queen; also learnt that stores had been forwarded to them in Juno last vii the Falkland Islands; and should the party be unable to maintain theircosition at Piot= Island, - Beagle Channel, being provided , with par tially-decked launches, that they would fall back on Sta ten Island. Having called at the Falkland Islands, and embarked these stores, consisting of 30 casks, cases, &c., I sailed thence on the 6th of January, 1852, and stood along tho north coast of Staten Island with large ensigns flying at the mastheads to attract attention, and fired abet ted guns into the mouths of St. John's Harbour, Cook's Harbour, and New Year's Harbour, and, observing a flagstaff erected with a flag on it in Near Year's Island, I came to anchor under it at eight o'clock on Sunday evening, the 11th of January. The next morn ing, January the 12th, I sent Lieutenant Gaussen in the cutter to ascertain the cause, and went myself at the same time into Now Year's Harbour, and found a ship's longboat lying hauled up on the beach, with Aladin Apenrade on her stern. She was fitted with oars cut from trees on the spot. By a tally left on the beach, I found the schooner J. E. Davidson, of New York, W. H. Smyly master, had called here on the 16th of October, 1851, on her way to Picton Island to relieve the mis sionaries. I returned to the ship at the same time as Lieutenant Gaussen, who reported that pieces of wreck were on the island, but, excepting t he fla g which he brought on board, there were no indica tions of how or where any vessel could have been lost. It blew a per fect hurricane that night off the land; and, being unable to heave the ship up to her anchor, I fully expected to be blown off with the loss of anchor and cable; but the ship held on with 90 fathoms of chain in 22 fathoms of water. "I sailed the next day, but could not, attempt the Straits of Le Maire, as it still blew fresh from the south ward. Having passed Cape St. John, I stood along the south coast of Staten Island, and got a good view of Port Vancouver, the only harbour on the south side of Staten Island, and, seeing no signs of the party being there, I made direct for Picton Island till the 17th, when, the weather proving very thick and hazy, with squally baffling winds, I was compelled to bear up, and stood along the east and south coast of New Island, getting a good view of Richmond-roads. I endeavoured to beat up to Ficton Island through Goree-roads, and got well up, sous to open the Beagle Channel, when, the wind failing and a current setting to the southward, I bore up and anchored in Gorec-roads for the night. " The next day, Jan. 18, it blew a heavy gale from the southward, but the ship rode well with two anchors ahead , and 100 fathoms of chain. " Jan.l9—The wind having moderated in the night' and shifted to the northward, I weighed at four in the morning, and beat up through Goren-roads and stood along the south-west coast of Piston Island, and, passing Cape Maria, beat up the north-east coast of the island. The wind again falling lieht, it was late before wo could tow the ship to her berth an a cove formed by an inlet en the coast, called by Captain Gardiner Banner Cove,' and the scene of his early troubles. "'rho following day, January 20, was devoted to scouring the coast and the a.ij scent islet, and, after many hours of fruitless search, without a sign of the party, and when on the pellet of giving them up, some writing was seen on a rock ncrossn river, which we instantly made for, and found written—' Go to Spaniard Har bour.' On another rock adjoining we read—' You will find us in Spaniard Harbour.' Oa a third piece of rock we read—' Dig below,' which we instantly did, hut found only a broken bottle, without any paper or dire lions. Oa searching ono of the numerous wigwams in the neighbourhood, we read on one of their poles, A bottle under this pole,' but we could not find it, although wo sent for shovels alai crowbars, and dug deep and carefully for it; 'but it was evident from some fragments of stores found on the spet, that the mission had rested here. " Accordingly the next morning, January 21, I sailed early for Spanish Harbour, and entered it on the same even i n g at seven o'clock. Our notice was first attracted by a boat lying on the beach about ono mile and a half instd© of Cape Kinnaird; it was blowing very fresh from the south, and the ship rode uneasily at her anchor. I instantly sent Lieutenant Pigott and Mr. Roberts, the ma ster, to reconnoitre and return immedi a t e ly, as I was a nxious to got the ship to sea again in saf e ty for the night; they returned shortly, bringing some books and papers, having discovered the bodies of Capt. Gardiner and Mr. Maidment unburied. " From the papers found Mr. Maidment wag dead on the 4th of September, and Captain Gardiner could not possibly have survived the 6th of September, 185 1. On one of the papers fuund was written legibly, but tvith out a date, If you will walk along the beach for a milo and a half you will find us in the other boat, hauled up in the mouth of a river at the head of the harbour, on the south side. Delay not, we aro starving.' At this sad intelligence it ITAS impossible to leave that night, although the weather looked very threatening; neitner the aneroid barometer nor symperzometer being very unfavourable, I held on for the night. " I landed early the next morning (Jan. 22). and visited the spot where Captain Gardiner and his com rade were lying, and then went to the head of the har bour with Lieutenant Gauasen, Mr. Roberts, and Mr. Evan Evans, the surgeon. We found there the wreck of a boat, with part of a gear and stores, with quanti ties of clothing, with the remains of two bodies, which I conclude to be Mr. Williams (surgeon) and John Pearce (Cornish fishermen), as the pipers clearly show the deaths and burial of all the rest of the mission party. " The two boats wore thus about a mile and a half apart. Near the one where Captain Gardiner was lying was a large cavern, called by him Pioneer Cavern,' where they kept their stores and occasionally slept, and in that cavern Mr. Maidment's body was found. "Among Captain Gardiner's papers, which I will no tice presently, I extract the following :— ' Mr. Maidinent was so exhausted yesterday that he did not rise from his bed till noon, and I have not seen him since.' Ag ain, on the 4th of September, alluding to Mr. Meidment, he writes---' It was a merciful Providence he left the boat, as I could not have removed the body.' Captain Gar diner's body was lying beside the boat, which apparently he had left, and, being too weak to climb into it again, had died by the side ef it. We were directed to the ca vern by a hand painted on the rocks, with Psalm lxii. v. 58,' under it. " Their remains were collected together and buried close to this spot, and the funeral service read by Lieu tenant Underwood; a small inscription was placed on the rock, near his own tent; tho colours of the boats and ships struck . half-mast, and three volleys of musketry, were the only tribute of respect I could pay to this lofty-minded man and his devoted companions, who have perished in the cause of the Gospel for the want of timely supplies, and before noon the Did 9 was proceeding safely on her voyage. " In looking over the papers found in the cavern, I am enabled to trace out the wanderings and many of the sufferings which beset the party up to the time of their unhappy end. Some of the papers aro on private affairs, unconnected with their position, and some on religious subjects, but I quote only from those which bear upon their fato. " Having arrived at Piston Island on the sth of De cember, 1850, they landed and pitched their tents on the 6th. but were compelled to re-embark in consequence of the annoyance of the natives, until their boats could be got ready. Their boats were named the Pioneer and Speedwell; and they finally disembarked, and slept in them un December 18. The chip sailed d the next day, and their troubles GC CIII to IlfiTO COMlntillee. " Both boats imme diatel y got under weigh for the opposite shore, on th e Heath-coast of Tierra del Fuego, to a place they have named Bloorallel4-harbou clearingr,tike as arseth na ti ve s annoyed thorn; but before- ch6rage the Speedwell got on the reeks, lost her anchor, and injured her rudder ; it appears to have b een blowing fresh. as both beats swamped their dingios, and lust them. The riOlleCT reached Bloomfield-harbour, but returned again the next day, and joined the Speedwell. 13uth boats then weighed for Bloomfield harbour, but on • this occasion the Pioneer grounded, and the Speedwell having been out all night, re joined her the next morning. On January 6 I fio both boats in Lennox-harbour, where they had gone to b eac h them and stop their leaks, but iu tacking the Pioneer was thrown by a squall into a nest of rocks, and rho was not afloat again' till the 17th of January. Th ey left Lennox-harbour on the u 20th of January for Blounifieki harbour to refit their beat?, bt, finding ; natae there in great force, they bore up for Spaitish.h ar b our , s which they reached ou tho 24th of Jammu,. " Here they seemed to have experienced many vicit situdes from the surf and storms till the Ist of January, when the Pioneer was driven on the rocks, her bow stove in, and irreparable. The party in this boat then took to a cavern, but finding it damp, and the tide washing into it, they hauled the wreck of the Pioneer higher up on the beach, and, covering her with a tent, they made a dornaitery of her, the Sege dwell being higher up et the moutirof a river, which they named Cook's river, after a lady and banelaciress to the mik,ion. Pb." 1 8.—The tide rose higher than usual, and I find the following renvillt by Captain Gardiner:—`The box which contained my ar)3t vaimible books and papers was 11 inti ng ab out in the surf, and the beach strewn with its contents in all directions.' By this unforeseen acci dent I lost a ill ranee Bible, my private journal, and some useful memorandums, chiefly on missionary sub jects, which I have been collecting for years, also my rings, and ,a purse containing 81. Bs., all the money I possessed, with the exception of d. in copper. All my warm clothing was washed nwiiy, hut, nrovidentisily, thrown up again by the tide in the course of two or three de; s. "Feb. 23—Mr. Williams is unwell in the boat, and Captain Gardiner removes to a tent to snake more room. "March 13—This tent, named a hermitage 'by Captain Gardiner, is burnt down. It appears that two casks of biscuits and one of pork had been buried at Picton Island to disencumber the boats, and nourishing food being wanted, as Mr. Williams and J. BadcOck had got the scurvy, they resolve to go to Piston Island for it, which they. reach on the 23d of March; intending to remain there till the expected vessel arrives from England with stores. Having got these provisions on board, and find ing the natives still troublesome, they painted the no tices on the rocks mentioned above, buried some bottles, and returned to Spaniard-harbour on the 29th of March. "In the beginning of April another of the party (J. Bryant)gets the scurvy, and, the disease gaining on the others,,they become enfeebled in consequence. ' " April 23—They have provisions enough to last for two months,.but some are very low; and, a fox pilfering from them, they kill him by putting a piede of pork op osite the muses of a gun attached by a string to the •aa thtiY can only issue—pork istqea_liases a - week, they dine off this fox, and salt th© . remainder; altogether they appear to have been very " frugal with their supplies. I find a notice of five large fish caught, and an account kept of the number of ducks shot, as, their powder having been left on board the ship, wad a flask and a half being all they have, they keep it for contingencies. " May 12—Is a note of the biscuit being short, and altogether as they have not supplies for more than three weeks, all (but the sick) go on short allowance. " May 19—The preserved meat is out, and Mr. Wil- Hams appears to be failing. " May 22—Set apart for special prayer on behalf of the sick, for supplies of food, and the arrival of the ex pected vessel. Frequent mention is made of the tide washing into the cavern, carrying away their stores, and endangering their sleeping boat, which they endeavoured to counteract by building breakwaters of stones; but in the night the surf washes away their work of the day. Oa ono occasion I fiud Captain Gardiner and Mr. Maid meat have to escape from the cavern to save their lives, and, taking refuge on a rock washed by the surf, they kneel down in prayer. "June 11—I, Erwin and another of the party take the scurvy, and misfortune seems hovering around them. Their fishing net is swept away, and J. Baddock dies on the 28th of June, and is buried on a bank under the trees at Cook's River. After performing the last offices they retire to their boat for prayers. " July 4—Having been seven weeks on short allow ance, and latterly even this having been curtailed, the party are utterly helpless. Everything found in the shape of food is cooked and eaten—a penguin, a shag, a halt-devoured fish washed upon the shore, and even the salted fox washed out of the cavern, is thrown up again ou the beach, and used for food. Captain Gardiner writes ---‘ We have now remaining half a duck, about one pound of salt pork, the same quantity of damaged tea, a very little rice (a pint), two cakes of chocolate, four pints of peas, to which I may add six mice. The mention of this last item in our list of provisions may startle some of our friends, should it ever reach their ears; but, eir cumatanced as we are we partake of them with a relish, and have already eaten several of them. They are very tender, and taste like rabbit.' " July 22—They are reduced to living on muscles, and feel the want of food, and sometimes the craving of hun ger is distressing to them. Captain Gardiner writes, — After living on muscles for a fortnight, I was compelled to give them up, and my food is now muscle broth and the soft part of limpets.' " July 28—Captain Gardiner writes of the party in ' the other boat,—`'They are all extremely weak and helpless; even their garden seedy used for broth are now ca cut: _ _ ".Luguit I4—Captain Gardener takes to his bed, but a rock weed is discovered which they boil down to a jelly, and and nourishment from.

' if possible to spate him (Mr. Maidment) the trouble of etterdieg on me, and for the mutual comfort of all, I proposed, if practicable, to go to the river and take up my quarters in the boat. This was attempted on Saturday last, feeling that without crutches I could not possibly effeot it. Mr. Maidnient most kindly cut we a pair (two forked sticks), but it was with no slight exertion and fatigue, iu his weak state. We set out together, but soon found that I had not strength to proceed, and was obliged to return before reaching the brook on our own beach. Mr. Maidment was so exhausted yesterday that he did not rise from his bed until noon, and I have not seen him since, conse quently I tasted nothing yesterday. I cannot leave the place where I am, and know not whether he is in the body, or enjoying the presence of the gracious God whom he has served so faithfully. lam writing this at ten o'clock in the forenoon. Blessed be my Hea venly Father for the many mercies I enjoy—a com fortable bed, no pain, or even craving of hunger; though excessively weak, scarcely able to turn in my bed, at least it is a very great exertion; but I am by His abounding grace kept in perfect peace, refreshed with a sense of my Saviour's love, and an assurance that all is wisely and mercifully appointed, and pray that I may receive the full blessing which it is doubtless de signed to bestow. My . care is all cast upon God, and I are only waiting His time and His good pleasure to dispose of me as Ho shall seem fit. Whether I live or die may it be in Him; I condemned my body and my soul to His care and keeping, and earnestly prey that He will take my dear wife and children under the shadow of His wings, comfort, guard, strengthen, and sanctify them wholly, that we may together in a brighter and eternal world praise and adore His goodness and grace in redeeming us with His precious blood, and plucking us brands from the burning to bestow upon us the adop tion of children, and make us inheritors of His Heavenly kingdom.—Amen.

Friday, Sept. s—Great and marvellous aro the loving kindnesses of my gracious God unto the. ou li gh e has preserved me hith erto, and for four days, without bodily food, without any feelings of hunger or thirst.'

" From the above extracts I must therefore conclude that the two bodies found at Cook's River were those of Mr. Williams and J. Pearce, and, considering their weak state, it is unreason a bl e t o supposo they could have survived captain Gardiner, who could scarcely have lived over the 6th of September, 1851. " I will ofYir no opinion on the missionary labour cf Captain Gardiner and the party, beyond it being mailted by an earnestness and devotion to the cause; but, as a brother officer, I beg to record my admiration of his con duct in the moment of peril and danger, and his energy and resources entitle him to high professional credit.

An English officer, Captain Gardiner, of the,Royal Navy, who had proceeded with six companions upon what was called the "Patagoe nian Mission ' to the neighbourhood of Cape Horn, hoe been literally starved to death —he, an d hisoompaniona with him.

There is such a thing a even among acts of duty. What are we t o think subordi nation, even n charity which disregards the claims• of th e au ff er i n a thousands who speak with English tongues, but can.. find sympathy and money enough when there is is, question of affording assistance to a parcel of scarcely human savages, separated from us, we may almost say, by the diameter of the globe? True, they may be. living in the midst of savagery and brutality of the, wildest kind, but at least they are not afflicted with than worst species of suffering—conscious degradation. They have not present before their eyes at every moment of the day a standard of comparison which adds intensity to every pang they suffer. We should be perfectly will ing to accept the argument against the promoters of these wild schemes from their own point of view. We should. be prepared to show them in our own large towns, and in the very centre of British civilization, persons asig norant of the first rudiments of Christianity as the wretched savages who persecuted Captain Gardiner and his companions amidst the tempests of Cape Horn. The reports of the various commissioners connected with the Associations for the Promotion of Christianity by va rious means in the populous districts of English towns will supply them with all requisite information. Let them go to the Bishop of Louuon—let them go to Lord Shafteshury—let them go to the nearest inspector of po lice, and they can soon supply themselves wiih facts sufficient to quicken their missionary zeal.

About the middle of April, 1851, Captain Gardiner begins to record in his diary, which has been preserved to us, th a t " they have provisions eneugh t o last for t wo months, b u t some are very low." They have b ut a flas k and a-half of powder; their fishing-net is washed away. They shoot an occasional fox, which serves them for food; arid, besides, if they did Lot destroy the animal, ho would do his best to steal the remainder of their little stock of provisions.

Poor . ' Captain heardiner's diary- in which he records day by day ' • the Plow ' process of his agony, brings the scene very vividly before us. In its naked simplicity it far exceeds the wild ravings which Victor Hugo has placed in the mouth of the condemned criminal who is supposed to record his feelings day by day between con demnation and execution. Surelytitis should be a severe lesson to the friends and advocates of distant missionary enterprise. What had we to do in Patagonia and its inhospitable islands? In P a tagonia itself, as far as we know from the little iufortnation we have derived from the South American Governments, there aro some hordes of wanderieglndians—but of their real condition we are in perfect ignorance. The very lines of the coast were mere guess work upon the charts until the surveying expeditions of the Beagle and Enterprise in 1826-36. Surely it is unjust, impolitic, and unnecessary to devote the great SOWS which would be necessary in order to carry . out any missionary expedition of an ef fective nature in such a region to any such purpose while we have so ran destitution and ignorance at home. At an rate, th y e thing should either be well done, or it should not be done at all. We cannot, with reason, incur the expense of doing it well. The fate of Captain Gardiner and his companions should prove a terrible warning against any unadvised and insufficient expeditions of the like kind for many a year to come.
