GREAT BRITAIN MUTUAL LIFE AS SURANCE SOCIETY, 14, WARTERLOO-PLACE, LONDON. THE CHISHOLM. Chairman. WILLIAM MORLEY, Esq., Deputy-Chairman. ' PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION. . . . Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example —a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 21. Gs. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be:required to pay 11. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 11. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance Society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As sured. , Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on satisfactory security being given for tile payment of the same at the expiration of live years. All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy holders who shall have paid live Annual Premiums. Full particulars are detailed in the Prospectus, which, with every requisite information, may be obtained by application to A. R. IRVINE, Managing Director. VICTORIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. TRUSTEES.

Credit of half the premiums for the first five years allowed on po licies effected for the whole term of life. On policies of five years' standing, half the amount paid, after the first year's premium, may be borrowed thereon by the Assured. Advances are a'so made to Assurers on real or undoubted personal security, for terms of years, repayable by instalments. Attention is particularly requested to the detailed Prospectuses of the Company, which may be obtained at the Office, Id, King William-street, City, or by letter, addressed to the Secretary.

The time, however, has arrived, when an urgent desire for agricultural improvement on the one hand, and a dearth of safe and profitable investment for superabundant capital oil the other, renders such an Association highly desirable to both the landed and moneyed interest, whilst to the community generally an almost incalculable advantage will be secured by a proportionate ~ increase of labour and food.

The following is an extract of adetter received at Lloyd's from their agent at Aux Cayes, dated the 19th April inst..: " Another revolutionary movement has taken place in this quarter, and with such success that this town is in the hands of the insurgents since the 4th inst. After an action in the heart of the town—they have marched their army, called L'Arm63 Souffrante to Port au Prince, but there are forces to oppose them at Aquin, headed by a firm adherent of the President. It is yet hard to say which party will succeed, but the black population. who have undertaken this enterprise, appear decided to govern the country themselves to the exclu sion of the coloured people. Should they not succeed they will be apt on falling back on this town, to commit disorders." CURRENTS OF THE OCEAN. M. M. Frederick Gautier, the French Consul-General in England, has transmitted to Lloyd's three pieces of paper, which were contained in bottles picked up on the coast of Cape Breton, Bayonne, on the 14th April last.

ESCAPE OF A SLA VE G IRL.—The following inte resting particulars of the escape of a slave girl, and her preservation from a painful and lingering death at sea in an open boat, is taken from a Cape of Good Hope paper, received by the last arrival :—" The Woodlark, Captain W. Hardie, reports, that on Tuesday, March 21, 1843, whilst cruising off Alatabello Isles, in the Banda Sea, in quest of sperm whales, she observed a canoe about three miles distant, with one person in it paddling towards us, and sent a boat with some bread and water and a few green cocoa-nuts. At sunset the boat got up with the canoe. There was only one person, a New Guinea girl, in it, who jumped into our boat immediately it got alongside the ca noe, and pointed to a cocoa -nut, which was given to her with some water. There was nothing in the canoe but a a small piece of salt fish, two paddles, and two fish spears. The' boat towed the canoe alongside, we hoisted it in, put clean clothing upon the poor creature, offered her a glass of wine, which she refused till the captain tasted it before her, after which she drank it off, and seemed to revive immediately, and ate a hearty supper of fried fish, bread, and tea. We tried all we could to bring her into conversation with us in the Malay language, but she never spoke during the 10 days she was on board, but seemed highly pleased with the attention paid her, and particularly with the dresses we made her. We supposed her to be a runaway slave. She pointed to the island of Tehar, as the one to which she belonged, but being asked in the Malay tongue if she wished to return to her isle again, shook her head, and pointed to the island of Comm, as if she wished to be there, where we landed her. The Rajah of the place promised to treat her kindly, and he and his lady seemed very fond of her, and said they would keep her as a household servant, for which he was presented with a bottle of gunpowder, six yards'of calico, and some coarse cutlery. When asked by the Rajah's lady, what made her leave the island, she stated that the cruelty of her father and brothers made her leave, that when she left she did not expect to live, and did not care what became of her." MR. BURFORD'S PAROMARA.—Prince Albert, ac companied by Colonel Wylde, honoured Mr. Burford's panomara with his presence on Wednesday last. The Prince's visit was entirely unexpeeted, and consequently no preparations were made to receive him. This, how ever, did not appear a source of the least regret to his Royal Highness, who, having first viewed the magnifi cent picture of the island and bay of Hong Kong, in the large circle, with which he expressed himself highly gratified, ascended to the upper room, to inspect the re presentation of her Majesty's meeting with Louis Phil -111313e at Treport, the life and accuracy of which were warmly appreciated by his Royal Highness, who sub sequently visited Baden Baden in the smaller circle, with which town, being so intimately acquainted, the Prince graciously expressed to Mr. Burford his high approba tion of the fidelity and accuracy of the view. THE ' LATE ACCIDENT AT LONDoN.HRIDGE.—On Wednesday Mr. J. Payne held an inquest at the New tastle Coffee-house, St. Mary-at-Hill, on William New ton, aged fourteen, one of the youths who lost their lives by the upsetting of a wherry-boat, at London bridge on last Sunday evening. The evidence of nu merous witnesses repeated the facts connected with the melancholy occurence that have already appeared. In the course of the inquiry the jury were in formed that the Wardens of the Watermen's CoMpany were about to adopt such effectual measures as would prevent a similar accident again occurring. The police have also received.positive instructions to take into cus tody any waterman who hereafter allows a greater num ber of persons in his boat than he is licensed to carry. The jury.returned a verdict of " accidental death," and the waterman, Williams, was called in and cautioned as to his future conduct, -his improper and illegal b e .. haviour having, been the cause of the loss of so many httntita 1),,i The Earl of Cardigan pays 4301. a year for his mansion in Stephen's•green, Dublin. - When occupied by Lord Manners, the rent paid was 8001. GENERAL ASSEMBLY. _ EDINBURGH. MONDAY, MAY 20. After the answer to the letter of CO Queen, prepared by the Committee, had been read, Mr. Pyper, an advo cate, brought forward what is called the Ceres Case, and said he appeared for Andrew Wallace, and other pa rishioner of Ceres to the number of nearly 300 appellants against a decision of the Synod of Fife, of 9th April, 1844, affirming two several :,ententes of the Presbytery of Cu par, dated 31st October and Ist November, 1843. The appeal affected the regularity of the Presbytery's proce dure in the reference to the settlement of the lieu. Robt. Cook, of Ciatt, in the parish of Ceres. The Pfesbytery met at Ceres on the 2d October, to moderate in a call to Mr. Cook, who had preached in the church on the two preceding Sundays. At this meeting objections against the settlement were tendered on behalf of 226 parish ioners of the following tenor:— • " 1. That his voice is so feeble for the size of the church that he often, especially in parts remote from the pulpit, becomes perfectly inaudible. 2. That his style of speech is so different from that which we have been accustomed to hear, that many of us, especially the old, do not understand what he says. 3. That he is a man so far advanced in life, that we do not consider he would be capable of yielding that activity which is necessarily demanded in a parish of such extent as Ceres." At a subsequent meeting, on 18th October, additional objec tions were lodged, declaring that Mr. Cook read his sermons, and that so slavishly, " that he is not cal culated to impress upon the congregation the import of his subject, and this may be one cause that he is so imperfectly heard, for, toward the conclusion of his sentences his voice dies_ away to bp quite inaudible. This, and his defect of speech and hurried pronunciation, renders his sermons to be of little or no spiritual benefit to the congregation." In explanation of the second ob jection, it was stated that it referred to Mr. Cook's rapid pronunciation and peculiar .Aberdeenshire dialect and accent. The Court would observe that the Presbytery never gave any decision as to the relevancy of these objections, or proceeded in the way they should have done of allowing to the parishioners a proof of them, but proceeded, without notice and in opposition to the protest and appeal of their counsel, to call the roll of objectors, a number of whom appear and state their adherence more or less to the objections. The Presbytery adjourned till the 31st of October, to consider the case, and appointed a Committee of their number to examine the rest of the objectors. He (Mr. Pyper) did not now insist on the argument as to the insufficiency of Mr. Cook's call, only with reference to the treatment of the objectors. The Presbytery at this meeting decided at once on hearing proof, before they had decided as they should have done, upon the point of relevancy. The parishioners were taken by sur prise. No interlocutor deciding the relevancy, and no order to lead proof had been given, yet the Presbytery proceeded without any intimation to the parties to hear proof. The minute bears that 44 Mr. Macknight lodged various mandates in behalf of objectors. The counsel for the objectors having been repeatedly asked to produce further evidence in the case, and having declared that he had no more to adduce in the meantime, the Presbytery find that the case for the objectors is closed." At this meeting, however, the Presbytery had no objection to lead evidence in favour of the presentee. There could be no proof led that day fur the objectors, no proof being asked, arul no citation of witnessess. The objectors were thus de prived of any opportunity of proving their objec tions, and the Presbytery at once proceed to declare their case closed, and .heard four or five witnesses in support of the call. The Presbytery on Ist No vember dismissed the objections, sustained the call, and resolved to proceed with 9: r. Cook's settlement. The parishioners, through Mr. Macknight, appealed to the Synod, who unanimously confirmed the deci sion of the Presbytery, and dismissed the appeal. He begged to submit that the Presbytery had done wrong in not allowing the parishioners an opportunity of proving their objections; they never asked for evi dence, and all of a sudden, when the objectors were not expecting to be called on for proof, they decide that proof shall be led without the slightest previous notice, and because no witnesses were present, which they could not possibly be, they declare that the objections had not been substantiated, and as he (Mr. Pyper) thought had broken through all that regularity of pro cedure which they ought to have observed, and which was so essential to the right administration of justice. He craved the Assembly to reverse the sentences of the nfcrior Courts. After counsel had been heard on the other side, Dr. COOK mo'red that the Assembly affirm the sen tence of the Synod of Fife, and remit the case to the Presbytery of Cupar, to proceed in the settlement with all convenient speed. Mr. PAULL, of Tullynessle, seconded the motion of Dr. Cook. The only case, he conceived, regarding which they were called on to give a decision, was that relating to the voice of the presentee ; and having carefully read all the papers in the case, he thought there was very ample ground for coming to the decision that the objec tion was undoubtedly unfounded in fact, and that they should confirm the decision of the Court below. In re ference to another of these objections—the dialect of his friend the, presentee—he was not, perhaps a proper judge —(Great laughter)—but he must be allowed to state a very important fact—that though Mr. Cook belonged to Aberdeenshire—and he was sure that the pre sentee would not wish to deny it—(Laughter)—yet he had often heard it remarked that it would be impos sible, from his language, to ascertain where he belonged to.—(Laughter.) As to the objection regarding age, he (Mr. Paull) might on that point also be an unqualified judge. It would, indeed, be most extra ordinary if he had been told that, at the age of fifty, he had been unable to discharge all the duties of a parochial minister when, since that period, he had, under the providence of God, discharged them for ten additional years, and if he could legiti mately give evidence in favour of himself, had discharged them more efficiently than during any former period of his life. He was perfectly aware that he ought to confine himself to the record; but still he owed it to friendship, to justice, and to a sense of duty, to say, in reference to his friend, Mr. Cook, that he had known him intimately since ever he was admitted to his present parish; and that a more zealous, a more active, a more working minister of the Church of Scotland, it was his firm conviction was not to be found within her pale.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Ile begged cordially to second. Dr. Cook's motiqn; and it would add to his satisfaction if in this, the first case under Lord Aber deen's Bill, they came to a unanimous decision. After a number of clergymen had addressed the As sembly, a division took place, when there were for Dr. Cook's motion 162, and against it 78. The Assembly adjourned at two o'clock on Tuesday morning. his mission to the United States, of which the followinc , is a brief extract :—" They were most thankful for the assistance they had received from evangelical churches both in England and in America ; but they valued them chiefly because—as had often been avowed, it was given merely as a testimony of approbation, sympathy, and brotherly esteetn.—(Cheers.) He rejoiced at the sym pathy which the Free Curch had called forth from evan gelical churches, and ho was most desirous to promote it, and friendly to co-operate with them, not because of any pecuniary assistance which the Free Church had received, or might yet receive, but upon far higher grounds. The Free Church had little difficulty in doing so, because it could occupy such a position with out any rise of its motives being mi sun d ers t oo d, except indeed by those who were the meanest and basest of men —(Laughter, and loud cheering)—men who had sold their principles for their living—(Renewed cheering)— or who would do so if put to the alternative.—Continued cheering.) The Rev. Gentleman then referred to the pecuniary results of the mission. It had not turned out very large, and some people might regard the result with some measure of disappointment. Looking to all the circumstances, however, he thought the assistance in this respect was as liberal as reasonably could be expected. letore the deputation left this country 3,0001. had been received from America; since then 6,0001. more had been sent; so that, altogether, the Free Church had received 9,000/. from America.—(Cheers.) He thought that more money would be forwarded. There were seve ral individuals in America who had shown great li berality towards the Free Church. In particular, he could not refrain from mentioning Mr. James Lennox, New York, who had contributed the munificent sum of 3;000/. On his detailing the hardships to which many of the Free Church congregations had been exposed in procuring sites for churches—for he, of course, told them of the atrocities of such as the Duke of Sutherland—the Americans expressed their deep sym pathy and burning indignation of such conduct ; and seriously proposed that the whole Free Church—the 6bo or 700 congregations should go over and settle in the United States—(Loud laughter and prolonged cheering)—for there they would get rich and fertile land of as much extent as Scotland itself, not to rent, but to purchase, at the rate of ss. per acre. His answer to these suggestions was, that the Free Church could not aban don Scotland to the Erastian Moderates.—(Cheers.) No person had called forth so much sympathy in Ame rica as Janet Fraser (Thornhill), and he had been en trusted with the donation of a pair of silver spectacles as a token from Elizabeth Scott, along with a letter which he would read. He accordingly read the letter, iiihich complimented Janet in glowing terms for grant i.Ag a site to the Free Church congregation in the lo cality in which she resides, adding that her most noble and generous conduct formed a strong contrast to that o her neighbour the Duke of Bticcleuch.—(Laughter and cheers.) The Doctor concluded his address, which occupied an hour and a half in the delivery, by calling upon Mr. Ferguson, who had accompanied him during his tour to America, to itidress the Assembly. Mr. FERGUSON rose Maid much cheering, and spoke shortly in corroboration of what Dr. Cunningham had stated, relating a few anecdotes illustrative of the recep tion they had met with frord the American people, and concluded with a very effective allusion to the circum stances of the success of their mission. Dr. GORDON moved that the Assembly tender their best thanks to Dr. Cunningham for his exertions in their behalf, while in America, and convey to him their ardent prayers that he might be long spared amongst them —an honour to himself and the Church.—(Cheers.) The MODERATOR, in a short speech, accordingly de liVered the thanks of the Assembly to Dr. Cunningham. ESTABLISHED 1821.

London : J. Hatchard and Son, 187, Piccadilly ; Liverpool : Grapel; and all Booksellers. • THE FREE CHURCH.-MONDAY. The Assembly met at twelve o'clock, and after prayer and praise, and some preliminary proceedings, Mr. M. STEWART read a report of the proceedings during the last year for the conversion of the Jews. The report stated that, at Pesth especially, there was a great thirst manifested for Christian knowledge, and every prospect of the Church's missionaries becoming still more suc cessful in their labour of conversion. At Jassy, also, the labours of Mr. Edwards had been most successful, several interesting communications to that effect having lately been received from him. Great hopes were enter tained that Damascus would become a most important station. In regard to Constantinople, the report stated that it had not yet been determined whether Mr. C. Schwartz should be sent back to this station; however, fifty or sixty converted Jews continued to meet three times a-week. The report then referred to the state of the funds, the collections for which, during the past year, amounted to 4,548/., and concluded by noticing the great loss which the scheme had experienced by the death of Mr. M'Cheyne of Dundee, and Mr. Wodrow of Glasgow. Professor DUNCAN wished to make a few remarks in reference to the qualification of young men to be mis sionaries to the House of Israel. What he had hypo thetically laid down on this matter at a former occasion, had had the effect of deterring young men from coming forward, thinking that those qualifications which he re commended were higher than they possessed or could easily attain. While he thought that there was no ground for entertaining either of these opinions, he also admitted that Jewish learning was by no means neces sary in order to make useful labourers among the Jews. Such learning, however, was of great importance, inas much as it secured more personal esteem and influence to the missionary. He then referred to the great ob stacle which the missionaries had to encounter in re spect of the conduct of those professing Christianity. It was a favourite argument among the Jews to point to the behaviour of Christians, and ask how they could be expected to leave their religion which was so moral in its results, and adopt a religion the professors of which were so immoral. He admitted the truth and justness of the argument, and hoped that it would be re futed by Christians taking care that their walk and con versation was becoming the Gospel. Taking that view of the matter, he considered the great revival now taking place in this country, and which was to come under the consideration of the Assembly—was a most important movement in favour of the conversion of the Jews, and he confidently expected that it would be zealously pro secuted at home, and prove a great assistance to the la bours of the Church abroad. The Learned Doctor con cluded by calling upon Mr. Schwartz to address the As sembly. Mr. SCHWARTZ, who is himself a Jew, accordingly came forward and addressed the Assembly at some length, corroborating the statements of Dr. Duncan. He dwelt chiefly on the character which Christians bore of being drunkards, swearers, &c., which caused the Jews to consider them as bad, if not worse, than _Roman Catholics, or those belonging to the Greek Church, and concluded by adverting to the many temptations and difficulties to which missionaries were subjected. 13nowN, of Aberdeen, moved the adoption.of the report, which was seconded by Dr. WILSON, of Bomba and the motion was agreed to. . ), The Assembly, after retiring for refreshment, mei in I the evening, when Dr. CUNNINGHAM gave a report of EDINBURGH, TUESDAY, MAY 21. The Assembly met at twelve o'clock, and having been constituted by the Moderator, Principal M'FARLANE intimated that he had received &communication addressed to him as Moderator, from the Chaplain-General of her Majesty's forces, stating that in consequence of repeated applications made to him on behalf of soldiers wishing to attend those churches who retained unbroken the union with the State, he desired to be provided with a list of such churches belonging to the Church of Scotland in Eng land, Ireland, and the colonies. The. learned Principal moved the appointment of a small committee to obtain and transmit the information required, which was Dkreed to. THE TOLBOOTH CHURCH CASE. This was the next case in the order of business ; but before entering upon it, the Moderator and Dr. Simpson, one of the clerks, withdrew from their respective offices, on the ground that they were members of the Presby tery of Edinburgh, and thus parties in the case. Prin cipal M'Farlane in consequence occupied the chair dur ing the proceedings. • The circumstances of this case are these :—The Rev' George Smith of Penpont was presented to the Tul b'ootli Church by the Town Council of Edinburgh, and his presentation sustained by the Presbytery. On the day for moderating in the call, objections were lodged by fifteen parishioners, two of whom subsequently with drew their names. The call, on the other hand, was signed by thirteen persons, the same number as the ob jectors. On Ist December last, the Presbytery found the objections relevant, and that, though five in number, they were substantially but three, viz., 1. That Mr. Smith had been notoriously deficient in the duties of Pastoral superintendence and domiciliary visitation, in the parish of Penpont and Kilmarnock. 2. That his sfyle of preaching and manner of expounding the Scrip- Tres was not level with the capacities of the pa rishioners generally. 3. That the presentee was not a qualified and suitable person for the Tolbooth parish, considering its whole condition and circumstances. The Presbytery agreed to consider the objections to the mode of preaching first ; and two of the sermons deli vered by Mr. Smith in the Tolbooth Church were lodged in the hands of the Clerk. At a subsequent meeting of the Presbytery, the Counsel for the objectors failed to give in a list of witnesses in support of the first objec tion, which was accordingly repelled ; and the Presby tery, after hearing the two sermons delivered from the pulpit by Mr. Smith, agreed to the following motion, by it majority of 14 to 6:—" The Presbytery, agreeably to their resolution of the 13th instant, having heard the Rev. George Smith, presentee to the church and parish of Tolbooth, deliver from the pulpit of the same, and in the presence of the congregation, two of the four dis courses formerly preached by him there, and objected to by certain of the parishioners—and which two discourses were considered by the Objectors as sufficient in point of number, and suitable in point of selection for the purpose of this meeting; having also fully heard the parties for their several interests, and having thereafter duly con sidered and weighed the whole matter, having regard to the whole circumstances and condition of the parish, and to the spiritual welfare and edification of the people— find, in the discharge of their functions, and in the exer cise of their authority and duty as ministers of the Goa- Pei, and office-bearers in the Church, that the second Objection is well-founded and substantiated, and that the said presentee is not a qualified and suitable person for the functions of the ministry in the parish of the Tol booth, and ought not to be settled in the same, in respect that in the judgment of the Presbytery, the presentee's style of preaching and manner of expounding the Scrip tures are not level to the capacities of the parishioners, severally, of the Tolbooth, nor calculated to instruct and siify them." The case came before the Synod of Lothian and Tweeddale on the 14th inst., when it was agreed, by a majority of eighteen to nine, to "affirm the sentence of the Presbytery, and dismiss the complaints and ap peals." On the case being called, there appeared for the ap pellants, Mr. A. S. Cook, counsel for the presentee; Drs. R. Lee and Bryce, of the Presbytery of Edinburgh, and Dr. Bell and Dr. Cook, of Haddington, for the Synod. For the respondents, Mr. Penney, counsel for the ob jectors ; and Drs. Muir, Simpson, and Clark. After a number of speakers had addressed the Assem bly, Dr. Cook moved, that the Assembly sustain the ap peal, reverse the sentence of the Synod, and remit the case to the Presbytery, with instructions that, having sustained the call, they proceed with all convenient speed to the settlement of Mr. Smith, according to the rules of the Church.—(Great applause.) An amendment was moved by Professor ROBERTSON, to affirm the sentence of the Synod, but to remit the case to the Presbytery, to give the candidate another trial. On a division, there were, for Dr. Cook's motion, 137; for Dr. Robertson's, 117—majority for settling Mr. Smith in the Tolbooth Church, 20. The result was received with mingled cheers and hisses, but the cheers far predominated, and the As sembly adjourned at half-past one in the morning of Wednesday. FREE CHURCH ASSEMBLY.—SAME DAY. The Assembly met at eleven o'clock,. pursuant to pre vious arrangement, for sermon and devotional exercises, in relation to the state of religion in this country. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. C. J. Brown, of this city. At the conclusion of the service, . Dr. CHALMERS rose, 'and said —I have been requested to state to the Assembly what came next in the o r d er o f , the proceedings. But in doin g so cannot refrain from expressing my sense of the vas t and unspeakable import ance of the services in which wr i. have now bee n en gaged ; and, let me a dd, o f such services being more largely admitted th an heretefre into the business of the Assembly. lam a l most afraid lest any feeble words of mine should in any way disturb the impressions which the preacher, or rather, let me say, the spirit of God through th e instrumentality of the preacher, may have awakened -in th e hearts saf. the audience. Oh that we knew.what it ivas to have our minds exercised into godliness, „so : as not only to understand, but to experience the longings and labourings of the Soul in• earnestness, and in following hard after God! Withofit this we are but a vain show of a Church —a body without .a soul; our sermons but as " sounding brass and tinkling cymbals"—a mere uttering of the words of sacredness,.while all heedless or unfeeling of their Mighty import, because destitute of that faith which is " the substance of things hoped for, the evi dence of things not seen."• And so we can speak—as has - been most solemnly aid searchingly told us in the //Zd~ sermtgi which we have just heard—we ci God, and Jesus Christ, and eternity, withoi the sense of these things in our own heat things above, or the unseen world to which fast hastening. I must confess that what home to my own experience, and what I bei. most on the hearts and consciences of all now house, was, that of our not seeking after the ,a.._ our preaching; not doing what our forefathers laid on the elders of the Church —trying to find out the fruits of the sermons delivered on Sabbath. We discharge ourselves of the mere performance of our duty without any further anxiety, as if it were a matter settled and set by, as it were. The minister has preached, the people were pleased, and there is an end of the affair ; and this not merely as to the manner in which we have performed our work in the pulpit. We may carry our satisfaction back, not merely to the delive rance, but to the preparation of our sermon. I was not altogether aware of the arrangements of this day, else it might have been altogether spent in accordance with the nature and spirit of the exercises wherein we have just been engaged—that is altogether Sabba ticaliy—instead of which I had to pass, by an instant transition from the labours of a Committee engaged in important, no doubt, but still outward business —to puss from this to the most sacred and spiritual services of the House of God. What a change !—what an enlarge ment f--what a felt and immediate translation, as if one had entered a new country or a new climate, when he came within the precincts of this house and breathed its holy atmosphere, and joined in its saintly dewtions I It is true I came not from the stormy elements of & bate —I came not from aught of that " strife of tongues" from which the Psalmist longed to hide himself in the especial presence of God. All was kindly and generous and Christian-like courtesy. And if there be a wide difference between the best and highest place on earth and the lowest place of Heaven, let us not wonder that there should also be a difference between the blandest of human companionship when the theme is the Church's secularities, and the whole tone and temperament of this higher fellowship when we have met to celebrate the most solemn of the Church services, to listen to the man of God, and to join in breathing aspirations . after higher and better things. Let us, therefore, make a strenuous endeavour—let us cherish it as our fondest hope, that all our external ar rangements may soon be settled and set by, that so' the ministers of God may be set free for giving _themselves wholly to prayer, and the ministry of the word. Oh, that this delightful spirit may wax stronger and stronger amongst us every day, and may be sent forth from this Assembly, as from a centre throughout the Church and throughout the land. Then would it be a gladsome land truly, when the religion of the ministers told upon their congregations, and these again upon their households, until from one end to the other there should be heard throughout our borders the melody which dwelleth in the habitations of the right eous. Oh that we were sufficiently impressed with the solemnity of our work, and were unceasing in prayer for that unction from the Holy One, without which we can neither save our own souls nor the souls of others I I do hope that our secular business will be indefinitely abridged—and whereas the secular has hitherto over shadowed the spiritual, that in all time coming the spi ritual will be made to overshadow the secular, so that in point of fact this will become a great spiritual annit ef sary—a Christian jubilee, so to speak —a day of refresh ing from the Lord, and that from a central and commanding part of the country a stream may go forth, and an impression be made on the minds of our Christian ministers that this impression will be husbanded and kept, and prayed with and prayed over; and not only kept fast, but acted upon, so that out of this fountain-head may emanate such streams as shall tell on hundreds of congregations and many thousands of the household of our beloved land, and that our Church may become, through the descent of living water from the upper sanctuary, like a well watered garden, abounding in all the pleasant fruits of righteousness. The Rev. Doctor concluded by intimating that the evening sederunt would be devoted to conversa tion on the state of religion in this country. [ADVERTISEMENT.] THE SUGAR QUESTION, The Sugar Bill is to be brought forward this evening and I call on all Members of the House to give the mat ter only one moment's reflection, and they will agree with the Chancellor, that it is an important question. The consumers should now have cheaper sugar, parti cularly as the revenue can afford the trial, and the re venue may benefit by the change, which would give us a large amount from the produce of countries which now give nothing. Why should not the poor man have his sugar for fourpence, instead of sixpence or sevenpence per pound? And the sugars of all nations would be required—of course, a foreigner paying a higher duty than our own colonies. Indeed, our own colonies should only pay a nominal duty of ls. or 2s. per cwt., and not make a chief requisite of life the mode of obtaining so large an amount of revenue, for it is felt chiefly by the poor. But to the point. Lord John Russell has given notice of his amend ment on the question, which will not even be listened to. But I warrant him, that if he will read this, and call to his aid all his machinery, he will carry his measure, and receive the support of every interest—colonist, foreigner, the trade, shipowner, and, in fact, every trade. Let him give immediate notice, and there is ample time for all to show if they do not take this view of the measure. He cannot carry his present amendment—it injures too many interests, and will scarcely be noticed. When you wish to carry an important point, let every interest derive advantage from the change—injure none, and you do away with opposition. I am practically experienced on the point, and never saw a better opening. Sugar reduced from sixpence to fourpence per pound for the poor man, will increase the consumption of Ireland and Scotland materially, where they scarcely see it now. Even the cattle may be fed on molasses at the duty I propose ; and as the consumption is so great in India and the islands pro ducing it, so will it be here, if they can get three pounds for one shilling, instead of two pounds. The adultera tion would be done away with, which is said to be (in the last price -current) 100 tons per week in London—. thus injuring the article it is mixed with and also the revenue. Why is the consumption of sugar only the same now that it was. fifteen years ago, and the popula tion 15 per Cent. Mores? Because the price is the same and adulteration going on to a great extent, and the question of duty always on the iapis. The produce of the British possessions this year will be 200,000 tons, which we should use with no change of duty, and thus the re v enue, with Xll sweets, would be 5,500,0001. Next year the produce of India will be greater, and of Mauritius, owing -to the 'import of hill coolies there. And why cramp our West India .colonies and prohibit them being sent there. .Demerara, Ja maica, and all our islands, would thrive if free emigra gration wLs allowed, and why prohibit i t any more than from this country to all the world ? Appoint Govern meat Emigration Officers, as in this country, to license and inspect emigration ships, and the people would go into a land of comfort, and be brought in many instances to Christianity ; at any rate, would be more useful members of the community, and likely to improve. See the vast increase in all trades by such a measure. Why grant the boon to one colony, and not to all ? This would be the grand death-blow to slavery and the slave trade. I propose that Lord John Russell gives notice at once, and thus give timely notice to the country and his friends that the consumer be considered, as the revenue can afford the trial, and may gain instead of lose, if not in sugar, by the increased consumption of other articles. It is a grand trial, and may be the means of giving future Ministers the power of raising two or three millions of revenue with much ease. We now pay the War duty, and we ought to see it changed. Propose that the duty be reduced on— British plantation to 104 per ton, would give .C 2,000,900 Foreign do. to 301. per ton-60,000 to 70,000 tons would be required this year; say 50,000 at 301.

The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment.
