The Directors of this Institution think proper simply to point out , the peculiar claims which the CHURCH OF ENGLAND ASSURANCE INSTITUTION has upon the Clergy of the Established Church, and the Public generally, for countenance and support. Many distinctive classes of society have formed their Insur ance Companies, depending, in a great degree, upon the aid and patronage of their respective Members, and especially adapted to the circumstances of those parts of the community which they more immediately represent. The CHURCH of ENGLAND requires the establishment of a similar Institution, on an enlarged and liberal scale, not cor fined in the benefits it offers So one class of its great Com munity, but calculated to meet the wants and demands which the social relations and complicated arrangements of property render so necessary and advantageous to all its Members ;—to supply this desideratum, and to extend the advantages of a well regulated system of Life Assurance among its Clergy, Mem bers, and Friends, is the immediate object of this Association ; its resources not being derived from the Clergy alone, but from the Laity also, its sphere of usefulness, and its success under discreet and sound management, will be co-extensive with the great interests it represents. The Members of the Church possess more than ordinary power and influence to promote all the great and beneficial objects which such an Institution is calculated to effect; and the Directors of this Company, in undertaking its formation, have determined to base it upon a principle which cannot fail to give it peculiar claims to the zealous support of that great and influential Body. By the constitution of the Company, guaranteed by its Deed of Settlement, one clear tenth of the entire profits of the As sociation will be applied to the formation of a Fund—to be called the " CLERGY FUND,"—to be vested in Trustees, (two-thirds of such Trustees to consist of Clergymen of the Established Church, to be appointed by a General Meeting of the Shareholders), to constitute an increasing and perpetual provision for distressed and deserving Clergymen, and their Widows and Children, when recommended by the Bishops or the Clergy of their respective localities ; and generally to meet such other charitable objects, connected with the Clergy, as may from time to time arise. This Fund not being immediately available for all those be. nevolent purposes, it is contemplated to anticipate one of its chief objects, by insuring the lives of necessitous Clergymen, and enabling Congregations to do so, or otherwise providing for them, at reduced Premium. The peculiar advantages thus accruing to the Clergy will, it is confidently hoped, induce them to exert their salutary influ ence to promote these charitable objects ; that, by their co operation, the Company may have the means of diffusing more widely the boon offered to their less-fortunate but deserving Brethren. The Laity, and all those who are attached to the Church and the benevolent principles which it inculcates, will, doubtless, be animated by the same feeling. The Institution grounds its title to the s upport of the public in general upon the sound principles on which it is founded, and offers to them, combined in one establishment, all the benefits presented by the numerous Metropolitan Assurance Companies, and at Rates of Premium as low and favourable as are consistent with its obligations and security to all. To carry out these great and important objects, this Institu tion will embrace several original matters of vast importance, some of which are peculiar to the CHURCH OF ENGLAND Company : LIFE ASSURANCE. A large paid-up Capital, invested in British securities only, at all times available ;—an influential proprietary; and Tables of Rates, calculated to meet every contingency of which Life Assurance is capable, founded upon the most correct data. Tables are framed upon participating and non-participating Rates, and on increasing or decreasing Rates. Clergymen and others may insure against sickness or old age, as well as secure, at the same time, a provision for their families at death, by a small increased Premium. Loans may be effected on the security of a Policy, or Policies will be purchased on liberal terms. Age admitted in the Policy ; and in no case to be disputed afterwards. Fraud only to vitiate a Policy. Claims to be paid within three months after proof of death. Unopposed Probates of the Diocesan Courts may be held sufficient to entitle claimants to receive or recover the amount of Policies, without the expense and delay of a Prerogative Probate. Females and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to appear at the Office, may be attended at their own residences by the Medical Officers. A Board of Directors will sit daily at one o'clock. to enable parties to effect Insurances with the least possible delay ; and the Medical Officers are in daily attendance at both Offices, for the examination of applicants. Medical Men remunerated in all cases for their reports. ENiIOWMENTS and ANNUITIES, IMMEDIATE, DEFERRED, and REVERSIONARY, GRANTED on a LIBERAL SCALE. TRUSTS. The peculiar adaptation of a Public Company to the admi nistration of Trusts, and the preference it has to the agency of individuals, is now generally acknowledge The ample guarantee it offers for the faithful and diligent discharge of those duties required in carrying out, properly and effectively. " Testamentary and all other Trusts," cheaply and securely, which are now too frequently long litigated, expensively exe cuted, or, from fraud or insolvency, not performed at all, must recommend it as the hest possible agency for such business. FIRE bEPARtNIENT. The PRENITUAIS for ASSURANCE AGAINST FIRE are charged at the uual moderate rates, with the exception of the Residences and Furniture of Clergymen, which will be In sured ten per cent. lower.

L --1 OR the greatest ameliorations of civilized life, AL we are indebted to the modern division of attention and labour in the various pursuits of society, and in none have its be nefits been so manifest as in the healing art. Early convinced of this great truth, MESSRS. GOSS and Co , Members of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, have for twenty-five years confined their attention to the successful treatment of a few prevalent com plaints, viz., the general and local debilities of both the sexes, whe ther arising from the solitary indalgence which a too highly inflamed imagination brings like a destroying fiend over the constitution, the mind, and the attbctions of youth ; or from a long residence in hot cli mates, excessive drinking, or any other baneful indulgence; and from their daily experience they can with confidence offer a restoration of the debilitated to vigorous health. Married females of a pure and allectionate disposition, whose " fondest hope" has been painfully deferred, may learn with consolation that perseverance in a proper remedial course, will renovate general health, and remove hidden impediments to maternal happiness. An insidious disorder, however inveterate, as also Gonorrhoea, sleet, and Stricture, may be removed without material restraint in diet or exercise. MESSRS.

This Company is formed for Paving the Metropolis, and twenty miles round. Specimens of the principle have been downlaid at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and Oxford-street. where 2,000 yards more are commenced. The principle is e new section of the cube. The Blocks are cut across the grain. at an angle of 6:; degrees 26 min rtes 5 seconds and 8-10ths of e second, which causes the diagonaljoining of the obtuse angles of the two parallelopipedes to fall in a perpendicular straight line. which, laid down obliquely, gives to a surface, perpetually even, all the streolgth of an arch. The streets of London alone comprise 6,000,000 square yards, and are kept in repair at an annual expense of 300,0001. The profits of the Company will be derived from the original laying down of the Pavement, each million of square yard, yielding 150,0001. profit—and also from keeping their pave ment in repair, which on a moderae calculation will amount to 60,0001. per annum—at the same time effecting a saving of one-half of the Paving-rates to the several parishes. The pre sent orders received by the Company amount to 30,0001. Ne gotiatiow are pending for other works to a great extent. Meetings have been held at Liverpool and Manchester. at which, after the principles of the Wood Pavement were ex plained, Resolutions were unanimously passed, approving of the scientific principle adopted by the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavement Company, and strongly recommending its ge neral use. Application has since been made to the Inventor for permis tion to lay down a quarter of a mile in length at Manchester, and the work will commence forthwith.

There are many speculations as to the manner in which the delinquent Oxford will be dealt, with. B) some it is stated that he will be tried at the Old Baih as an ordinary felon, and in other quarters it is sale that a Special Commission will be speedily issued fel his trial at Westminster. The general understanding is that he will be tried by Special Commission; but should he be tried at the Old Bailey, his trial cannot take place at the ensuing - ;,Session of the Central Criminal Court, which commence this day, as the prisoner's crime being that of high treason, he must have 14 days' clear notice, as well as a copy of the indictment preferred against him. ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE QUEEN. ( From the ,Nottingham Review.) It is impossible to describe the feelings of excitement which agitated Nottingham yesterday morning, when the intelligence became known that an attempt had been made to assassinate the Queen , a brief announce ment of which wa s co ntained in The Sun London news paper. The most hearty expressions of detestation, at this monstrous crime, escaped from the lips of thou sands, who evinced at once their untainted loyalty, and that horror of assassinatien, which so universally per vades the minds of Englishmen. For the particulars of this treasonable and diabolical attempt, we refer to our lengthened account ; and we have only to record our thanksgivings to a good and gracious Providence, which has preserved the life of our beloved Queen, and saved the nation from consequences, the bare contemplation of which makes us shudder. Disastrous, indeed would it have beenifor the country, had the arm of the assassin been nerve' sufficiently to enable him to take a sure aim at his intender illustrious victim. We will not hazard a speculation as to the atrocious motives that may have prompted this man to attempt the commission of such an awful crime. The best and dearest interests of the nation would have been placed in imminent jeopardy had the assassin succeeded ; and the people of the United Kingdom, while they rejoice at her Majesty's escape, will learn of what inestimable value to the peace and happiness of the country is the continuation of the life of the Queen, whom God long preserve.

ANTI-SLAVERY CONVENTION. The Convention met on Saturday morning according to adjournment, at the Freemasons' Hall, at 10 o'clock. Joseph Sturge, Esq., of Birmingham, in the Chair. The CHAiiimAN said that before commencing the business of the day he was anxious to offer to the meeting a few observations on some of the occurrences of yes terday, which might have appeared at the time a little irregular. Their excellent friend Thomas Clarkson Lad been anxious to escape from all unnecessary excitement. lie was glad to say that their venerable Friend had not suffered in consequence of his exertions ; he had seen him last night, and he was glad to say that he was even better then than he had been in the morning, and he hoped they would see him amongst them for a short time to-day.--(Cheers.) It being the desire of the Committee to spare their venerable Friend all causes of excitement had induced thCm to make arrangements that he should be moved, seconded, L and voted into the chair before he entered the room. (Mr. Sturge) was in ignorance of the fact that this had not been done when he accompanied his venerable Friend into the room yesterday ; but he scarcely thought it necessary to put the question, as no doubt could exist that their venerable Friend would be voted into the chair by ac clamation. He hoped the meeting would excuse the irregularity which had, in consequence, been occasioned ; but his object had been in putting himself as forward as he had done, to save the time of the meeting, and the feelings of their venerable Friend from agitation. One or two of their friends who had been elected as of fice bearers had only arrived the preceding evening, and were scarcely cognizant of their rules. This also might have occasioned some little irregularity in their proceed ings of yesterday, which he hoped would not again recur. In order to avoid any irregularity, however, it was necessary that they should act in strict aceordance with the rules which they had laid down for the regulation of their proceedings, as in that manner only could they save time, of which they all well knew the value. He coped they would now go on in a spirit of love, una nimity, and Christian charity, and he was rejoiced to see those dear friends who on the question which had occu pied their time during the latter part of the preceding sitting, were then present, prepared to co-operate with them in the spirit of sincerity and cordiality—(Cheers.) The following gentlemen were then introduced as Delegates from France :—Mr. ISAMBERT, the Secre tary to the French Anti-slavery Society, and a Mem ber of the Chamber of Deputies, in whose honour medals had bean struck by the coloured inhabitants of the French colonies ; and M. MORIN, also a distinguished member of the French Society. They were received with loud applause. The CHAIRMAN then said he hoped he should not be violating the conscientious scruples of any one it he requested that they might be allowed to sit a minute or two in silence before the business of the meeting commenced. It was shortly afterwards announced that it was the intention of those who wished to join in devotion before the commencement of the Meeting to meet in the ad joining room for that purpose at half-past nine. The minutes of the proceedings of yesterday were then read by the Secretary ; and, after a few observa tion from Mr. J. C. Fuller, and one or two other mem hers of the Convention, confirmed. The SECRETARY then read the following as the pro ramrne of the day's proceedings. The subjects to be considered were :-Ist. A general view of slavery—its iissential sinfulness, and its opposition to the genius and precepts of the Gospel. Its impolicy with relation to commerce, population, &c. Its influence on legislation end the security of society. Its moral influence on the character of the enslaver and the enslaved, and its op position to the advance of civilization, education, and Christianity. 2d. The presant operation of slavery i n British India and Ceylon—the West Indies—the United States—Texas—South America—and the Mo hamedan countries. At the conclusion of the programm e , Mr. O'CONNELL entered the room, and was received with loud cheers. Before the business commenced, Mr. J. C. FULLER said that he admired silence as much as any body, but he did not wish to see the Con vention turned into a Quaker's meetin g ; and if an y ,Jne, before the business of the meeting commenced, vished to make an offering to the throne of Almighty God, he hoped an opportunity would be given to him of so doing. The Rev. B. GooDWIN, of Oxford, having been called upon by the Chairman, proceeded, in a very low tone of voice, to read a paper in the essential sinfulness of slavery and its direct op ,;)sition to the spirit and precepts of Christianity. The Rev. Gentleman said that slavery might present itself in many views to the mind of the philanthropist and the d olitician, hut in the eye of the Christian its peculiar ,haracteristie was its sinfulness, and the object of his )aper was to show that its moral delinquency did not depend upon circumstances, but was inherent in its iature. He defined slavery to he the coerced service if a perpetual bondman, whose exertions were coerced :vithout any previous commission of crime on his part, it-id without his being permitted the exercise of his own free will, for the sole advantage of his owner, who .claimed in him the right of property. The right of iroperty in the slave was the essential feature of the nischief—he was acquired by purchase, by gift, by sill, the same as other property, and subject to bo trans 'erred in like manner. The relations of husband and wife, and parent and child, were annihilated, and a gang slaves stood to their owner in precisely the same elation as a flock of sheep. However valuable might oe the services he rendered, the slave received no iritiivalent for them, for his food and. clothing could no nore be considered an equivalent than could the fodder if an ox. The owner looked upon them as his property, Ind considered lie had a right to do what he liked with its own. Pubic opinion, indeed, might produce the enactment of laws for the prevention of crueity to slaves, it had done for the prevention of cruelty to animals, but the right remained. In addition to the ihysical suffering engendered by this system, it degraded he slave from the condition of man, and this for no :ituse whatever. It deprived him, as far as he could is deprived, of all the attributes of man—he could •xercise no freedom of choice or action ; he could not recreate his body or his mind, or worship his God, but it the will of another. Every slave in the world had a right to be free, whiob nothing could nullify. The with molding that right, was the perpetuation of wrong ; and is one of the great objects of revelation was to inculcate the principles of truth and justice, on which the moral pvernment of the world was founded, it was contrary to revelation. Christianity said that it was our duty to love the Lord our God, and to love our neighbour as our selves. How could it be compatible with love to our Creator to maltreat his creature, and to deny to man, .vhom God had formed in his own image, the attributes of humanity? It was an insult to his Maker, and an I invasion of his prerogative. It was equally incompati ble with the duties of the second table. The law for bade not only stealing. but coveting. Slavery being ~ s sentially unjust in itself, was essentially sinful ; and roless these premises could be disputed, the conclusions .were incontrovertible. If it were pleaded that slavery .mad been tolerated by God among the Israelites, lie vould say that the forced service there ordered to take dace by the voluntary consent of the parties them ;elves—as a punishment for crime, and of a mere tem aorary character—did not come within the scope of his definition ; and with regard to the Israelites reducing the inhabitants of Canaan to a state of bondage, they had God's express command for so doing, and no persons could now possibly be placed again in :he same situation as the Israelites than were. There were no reasons why Christianity should lend its sanction to what was evidently unjust—Christianity was directly opposed to it, in spirit and tendency ; if it favoured slavery, its own evidence of Divine origin would be weakened. It issued from a Being whose throne was founded on purity and justice. It was an emanation of Divine benevolence—a concentration of all God's kind purposes towards man. How'could it coalesce with slavery, shocking as were all the effects of slavery to humanity ?—(Hear.) Every man in the sight of God was placed on an equality. No man could &aim exemption from the consequences of the fall—and all , like were included in the plan of redeeming mercy. How could it b e reconciled to Christianity that men should, then, be tyrannised over by others of their fellow men, under the rights, or rather the wrongs, of slave ownership ? Every tendency to encroach upon another's rights or happiness, was sinful—and could a man hold another in slavery without doing so ? The divine rule of Christianity was—" Do unto others as you would that others should do unto you." And mould a man obey that rule who held his fellow-man in slavery ?—(Hear.) " Love worketh no ill to his neighbour"—let this Scriptural rule be followed, and every slave's fetters would be struck off.—(Hear.) The spirit of slavery was to diminish the sources of hap piness, and open fresh fountains of misery. The spirit of Christianity was to confer happiness even on the unworthy. The spirit of slavery was to contract, brutalize, and degrade 7 -- that of Christianity to exalt, purify, and expand, man's nature. The advance of Christianity abolished slavery gradually in the ancient States of Greece and Rome. To all missionary efforts slavery was the greatest of obstacles. From all these it followed that slavery in every form was a sin, and that all who feared God or loved men would purge themselves from the accursed thing, and that on this ground the grand battle of universal emancipati ne would alone be carried. Ttieinfoi, , , let o il ;sbers of lioneetlity rally round ibis Couveuticu, tir,„ t hat greater In :3 He that was for theta thau tho t , L . were against them..—(Cheers.) It was here announced that the Venerable Clarkso❑ had arrived, and he forthwith took the chair, it having been previously arranged that all expressions of ap. piause should desisted from, to avoid flurrying him by any noise or exciteinent. _ The Rev. C. STOVELL felt. anxious that something practical should be devised on that religious view of the subject to which the essay just read was directed. He had several resolutions which he wished referred with the essay to a Committee, to be thrown into a practical form, as a recommendation to all Chris tian denominations to make slavery a matter of Church discipline—(Hear)—otherwise never would the Church assume on this subject its true position. Why should not the Church apply its principles to the errors pervading society ? If slavery were a curse, those cursed by it ought to be delivered from it, and no friends of the Gospel could be relieved from their responsibi lity till they had taken the ground Christianity justified towards all implicated in the accursed thing. The out line of his statement was that the meeting regarded par ticipators in slavery, and all legislative protectors of it, as acting directly contrary to the principles and spirit of Christianity, and therefore earnestly entreated all Christian Chu rc h es t h roug h t h e world to consider whe ther incorrigible offenders of the following classes should not be excommunicated, viz.:—those who voluntarily brought men into slavery, either Hll Coolies or ne groes ; those who took part in laws keeping up slavery ; those who knowingly gave a pro. slavery character to re ligions bodies; those who voluntarily participated in the license given by slavery protecting laws, either by wronging them in person, lioerty, property, or life ; those who refused slaves equal rights in the Churches of God, or rejecting their evidence in any matter with no other reason than their colour and calamity ; those who possessed slaves without any merciful right to hold them; that the meeting regarded all kinds of injustice, guilty before God, and as deserving of reprobation by Christian Churches, when committed on a black as on a white man ; and therefore entreated all their fellow- Christians to recollect that God would hOld them re sponsible for any protection of, allowance to, or conni vance at slavery.—(Hear.) This sketch he wished to be maturely considered in a sub-committee, to be by them, in a well-digested shape, brought before the Con vention, the Sub-Committee to consist. of the Rev. W. Godwin, W. Knibb Collier, and G. Thompson, Esqrs. Subsequently, Mr. Stovell, the Rev. J. A. James, and the Rev. J. Johnston, were added, the latter gen tleman seconding the resolution. Several delegates expressed themselves of the opi nion that the question would more maturely he con sidered after it had been digested by the Committee. The Rev. J. YOUNG said he could not agree to the principle of the resolutions. The Convention was com posed of members of all religious parties—Church of England-men, Baptists, Independents, Presbyterians, Methodists, Catholics—(hear, hear)—and ought not to participate in Church discipline ; for some of these de nominations had no Church discipline like that of others, as the Catholics. All that the Convention should do was to declare their strong disapprobation of slavery, and their sense of its sinfulness, leaving it to the particular deno minations to take such measures as they thought fit. He moved, as an amendment, that ttie Essay be referred to the Committee, to frame resolutions upon it. The Rev. E. TAYLOR, of 'Woodbridge, said, as a Protestant Dissenting Minister, he never heard a set of resolutions of which he more cordially approved than those of Mr. Stovcll—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that by the integrity of their faith, as Christian men, they would pass them. They did not interfere with Church discipline by recommending all Christian men to con sider gravely if any persons supporting slavery should sit with them in Christian fellowship—(Hear.) He was seldom more grieved and astonished than when he heard a well-known Dissenting minister disapprove of this, which lie held to be the soundest practical measure ever devised on the question. They came here to DO.— ( Hear, hear.) He would so far abide by that as to cease speaking now—(A laugh)—concluding by ear nestly recommending the adoption of the resolutions. Mr. O'CoNreEee—l really think we are agreed in principle. There is no difference between our friend Mr. Stowell and the majority of the meeting as to this That nothing is more complicated in sinfulness than slavery—( Hear, hear)—that it is a violation of all private morality—that it is a robbery in its principle, and carries multiplied murder in its effects.—( Hear, hear, hear.) There cannot be a Christian man among us who does not abhor it from the bottom of his heart. Now, for what purpose are we come here'? •Nol. to interfere with Church discipline.—( Hear, heir.) I would not presume to vote on any question touching the Church discipline of any of the Churches to which ' you belong—the Baptist or Independent, for instance. Liberality does not consist in giving up what we believe ourselves, that is latitudinarianism.—( Hear, hear, hear ) Liberality consists in giving to others what we claim for ourselves—free independent judgment in religion. We are not called upon to interfere in Church discip line by these resolutions. We are only asked to recom mend. And will not any proposition have additional weight with any Church because it carries with it the sanction of this Convention ?—(llear.) I am sure that in my Church we should gladly have the aid which such a recommendation would afford us in carrying out mea sures against the accursed system of slavery which have already been suggested in the eloquent directions of the head of our Church, and begun to be carried out by our clergy.—(Hear, hear.) Several Delegates strongly advocated the resolutions, particularly The Rev. \V. KN11313, Missionary from Jamaica.— where he said he bad found the immense aclvantiNge of carrying out the system laid down in thence; olu : tions, of snaking slave-holding inconsistent with re' ous fellowship, and he believed that such a systen truly carried out would soon he the death-blow of slavery. Mr. FRANCILLON, of Gloucester, also supported the resolutions. The Churches did not excommunicate in those days, for probably that would have exceeded their powers ; but there was an influence exerted by the clergy, and, one after one the villains were emancipated, and slavery was abolished in these free lands. He understood that an important object of the Convention was to diffuse among themselves information of the most full and com plete kind of the abominable nature of slavery, of the arguments used against it, and the proper measures to be used for its overthrow. Now, a brother had made use of the phrase, " That the Church should deal harshly with all the sinners holding slaves, with the ex exception of those who held them, in consequence of any reasonable necessity ?" Now, as he believed that slavery was an abomination, and could not be recog nized by any man who respected the will of God or reverenced his word, then were not those words incon sistent with the notions of the vast multitude in the assembly ? No Christian or good man could possibly recognize any merciful reason for one man retaining property in his fellow-creature. He asked the ques tion with respect, but he must contend that whatever resolutions they might come to, slavery was a great crime, and ought to be overturned by cry means in their power. The Rev. Mr. STOVELL.—One reason for using these words was to give the friends of slavery an op portunity of giving a good and a Christian reason for the abominable practice if it was in their power. An other was, because he was informed that in some cases where a slave was about to be restored to freedom, mercy to him would dictate that he should be manu mitted in one state in preference to soother, and he meant his words to apply to the transition state. Mr. CoLviu. of Boston.—The Rev. Gentleman who moved the amendment, seemed to have a delicacy about him in respect to the question, in which he (Mr. C.) did not share. A short time ago, there was a disturbance in Canada, chiefly fomented by American citizens, who were fond of commotion and trouble, and were more inclined to meddle with other persons affairs than to mind their own. Whenever they were chased by the British authorities, they ran and took shelter in the States ; they would not stop, or the arms of the British would soon have punished them. Now Eng land sent a Minister to our Gorernment, and asked that they would prevent the marauders from sheltering on their territory, to which the American Government at once acceded ; now, would any one say that this was an interference with the American Government by England ; of course it was not, and that is what we want ; the moment we get the track of a slave-holder, and he takes refuge in the Church of God, we want. to say to the Church, out with him to our arms, giv e him no refuge, withdraw your protection from him, for he is a sinner. Was that any undue interference with Church discipline ? He thotrAht not, and cordially sup ported the original resolution. Mr. BOULTBEE, of Birmingham, supported the reso lution, inasmuch as it was merely a recommendation to the Committee to consider. Mr. YOUNG explained that his objection to the resolu tion was this. He did think, although all of them were agreed that slave -holding was a sin, and was therefore inconsistent with Church membership, still the Con vention was not a b o d y t h at had a r i g h t to interfere with a Church and its discipline. After a desultory conversation between many Mem bers— Mr. BLAIR strongly supported the resolution. He had long been anxious to see such a resolution adopted, for he conceived that the greatest stronghold of the slavehoid er was t h e a id an d sanction given to the prac tice by Churches. 1 Dr. K. Gatvir.r.o supported the resolution, because be conceived that every Christian Church ought to et. mise Church discipline in a ease of such aggravated sin. said, he ' I Mr. J. G.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, which delicacy forbids us to name, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whether we consider such person to hold the relation of a PARENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relatima and lesponsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked htehaelth real should cause appear of such e t h o in proper time. He will here find a clue t o guide him through the intricate mazes of thi s m o r al l a by r i nt h, an d a standard attack k e y t o . fjudge, youngwhen delicacy of charges, what attack may be, and thus he w ill b e ena bl e d t o c h ec k the evil in its incipient state.... The CLERGYMAN, in whose nacre character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to whi c h youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. The book will also be found to contain much valuable infor mation peculiarly interesting to those members of society who, from having indulged to excess in youth, find themselves un able to discharge those duties and functions which devolve on them in the ordinary course of life.

EVENING EDITION. deny that there could be any sinless holder of a slave according to the law of God. That was a rock upos which they must not split—the y must It give the slave. holder any such loop-hole, for they wou!d most gladly avail themselves of it ; no one found such easy eacusos for his conduct as the slaveholder, - Whether he were a cruel one or a mild and gentle master.—(Hear, Lear.) He had made himself acquainted with the facts as they stood in New York respecting slavery—he wet,t to all Churches, and in none but the Roman Cathoii* Church did he find they had put down the negro pew. Even in the Churches where Ministers preached %who called themselves Abolitionists he found it.---( Hear, hear.) The res-olution did not dictate, they only called upon the Churches to carry out their •irn prin ciples—they did not dictate new modes of ac'ion. The Rev. Mr. SWAN, of Birmingham, supported the resolution. The Rcv. Mr. RoatusoN. of Kettering, would like to see the Committee appointed unfl.cered, when they would well consider the matter, and bring forward ma tured resolutions. Rev, Mr. HARVEY, of Glas,ow, supported the reso lution. Although as strict a Presbyterian as he ought to be, he saw nothing in them t 9 offend any Church— they were recommendations, not dictations. Rev. Mr. JAMES, of Bridgewater, supported the amendment. Ile thought strong and stringent rase• lutions might be framed to effect their object without at all meddling with Church discipline. Mr. D. CREWDSON supported the resolution. The SECRETARY Said as they were now about t come to a vote, he trusted it would be understood that it would decide the principle of the resolution, and when the Committee brought up their Report, there wpnld be no discussion upon the principle of the resolution, but would be coifir“,l to the details. The Rev. Mr. BINNEY did not understand what was meant by the principle. His own impression was that if they (:eclared a certain thing to be a great six and a violation of Christian duty, they could not avoid drawing the inference that those who were guilty of that sin might he subject to Church discipline.—(Hear.) Such a conclusion was as clear and logical as possible. But the difficulty of the point was not in the resolutions themselves of Mr. Steven but in the preamble to those resolutions. That preamble did not refer to the charac teristics which distinguished the slavery of the present day, from that species of slavery which existed at the time of the primitive Church. Was there any gentle man present who would deny that slave-owners had been members of that primitive Chureh,?—(Yes.) ' Could any one deny that under the eyes of the Apo:Ns, men had held property in their fellow-men ? Ha believed there were slaves and maiters in the times of the Apostles, and that those masters had not become subject to Church discipline. He believed that the arguments of the Apostles had principally for their ob ject the gentle and gradual insinuation of the doctrines of Christianity. He had, however, no objection to such a resolution as that which had been pro posed, if they were to have a preamble to it clearly and distinctly stating the characteristics which dis tinguished modern slavery from that which existed when the primitive Church was formed. He thought that if instead of this course they denounced slavery in general terms as unchristian, they would create much perplexity in many minds. A DELEGATE said that there was no account in the Scriptures of such slavery as we had now. Tne Rev. Mr. BlNNEY—Exactly. There were cir cumstances of peculiar atrocity in slavery as it existed now, and it assumed a totally different aspect from that which it bore at the time of the Apostles. But if they used the word slavery generally, he thought they would involve themselves in great difficulties. Mr. \V t. llawEs, of the Oberlin Institution, called on the meeting to act cautiously as regarded the question then before them, hut not to temporize. They ceuld not denounce the unchristian character of slavery, too strongly, and they were hound to take every means in their power for its suppression. The Rev. J. W. JAMES began by expressing a hope that the Convention would not come to a decision oa the question then before them without the fullest deli beration. They were then touching the mainsprirg of the whole subject.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Their ob ject was the extinction of the slave trade, and in order to effect that object they should put an end to slavery in America ; and in order to put down slavery in America they should remove it from the Church of America—(Hear, hoar)—and in order to remove it from the Church of America it appeared to him that the strongest recommendations on the sub ject should go forth from the Convention. 'rho Church was the main prop of slavery in the United States.—(Hear, hear.) The demon of slavery had found a haunt, a shelter, and a defence, not so much, he believed, under the Presidential or the Professorial Chair, as under the altar of the Lord and in the house of God. It was, therefore, their duty to do something which would tell on the Church.—( Hear, hear.) The question was a moral one, and they all knew that the Church of God professed to be based on moral grounds - , aid that a moral influence perpetually proceeded from it either for evil or for good. It appeared to him there fore that they should do something which would act on the professors of religion, and he did not know any thing more likely to effect that end than a temperate but firm and uncompromising recommendation, such as that alluded to in the resolution then under the con sideration of the meeting. He belonged himself to a denomination proverbially sensitive as to its rights as a Church—a denomination which would allow no inva sion of those rights, and which would set at defiance that Convention, or any other body which might at tempt to dictate to its members the terms of com munion : but they were prepared to listen to recom mendations, and especially to recommendations emana ting from such a body as that which he then addressed. He would still say that the suggestion of Mr. Binney deserved the grave and serious consideration of the Committee when it came before them. The slave. holders sheltered themselves under the pretended sanc tion of the Scriptures, and would tell them that there were slave-holders in communion with the psimitive Church. He would meet them on that ground, by showing that modern slavery bore no ana4ogy to that which prevailed then ; and besides there was not the same light to reveal its enormity as now. He thought that it would be wise to take up that suggestion. Their object should be to produce an impression on the public mind, and to convince parties that slavary, as it existed at the present day, was a sin, and such a sin as oueht to exclude its authors from communion with their fellow-men.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. G. TitosiesoN was anxious to notice the fact to which the Rev. Mr. Binney had alluded—that there had been slave-holders among the primitive Christians. and in the time of the Apostles ; and to allude to the statement of another gentleman, that specific directions had been given by St. Paul to slaves to obey the pre cepts of their masters. He did not think that either of these observations should be permitted to escape not;ce in a meeting like that before hire, lest any individual who had not given the lame consideration to the sub ject as others among them had been obliged to do, should depart without that information which 'night enable him to come to a satisfactory conclusion on that very difficult and oftsdebated point. He granted that there had been slave-holders among the pro fessors of Christianity in the time of the Apostles— he admitted also with the aev. Mr. James that the characteristics of slavery at the 'time of tile Apostles differed in many important points from the character istics of that slavery which they were now denouncing ; but it appeared. to him that there were other circum stances of equal or even greater importance to be taken into account. The first of these was that if St. Pan! had not denounced slavery specifically, and if he had not authoritatively enjoined en masters the liberation of their slaves, he was silent on that subject, as he had been silent on many others, respecting which there had never been any doubt from the time that Christianity had been first propagated in the world, St. Paul was not sent to be an anti-slavery lecturer ; h, had been sta which,ihpl oep should regeneration i e n gt in n d en act t rhr o taeee itn p nideop r f eur e inrinal a e, nilocenoehueedfsnposantemtsidhonneueafognetwf.ttitsmrhoetee.ulf! specific gupp mankind. htr o aeaa n uenid , ll esk: o ipb r least ttes a he t onou tdg chelhe that developed ap ; e a l d i to g i hi :too!

Sir Isaac Newton, when he developed to the world his system of astronomy, did not at the same time refute in detail every other system which the ignorance or the superstition or the vanity of men had formed, but he laid down great principles drawn from an accurate observation of the laws of nature, bf which he overturned every system which previous phi losophers had established. He (Mr. Thompson) was still prepared to teach with St. Paul, that slaves should not effect their liberation by violence, or by the appliea tion of physical force ; and ha did not know an altroli tionist with whom he was acquainted who would not be ready to tell slaves, in the language of the Apeatle, that being slaves, they should not care for it, for that they had a master in ' heaven who had smitten from their limbs the fetters of a b aser bonda g e, but that if the y cou ld purchase their freedom they might do so. He thought that the lessons of St. Paul to slaves offered a striking illustration of the peaceful spirit of Christianity, B ut on the other hand, did the Apostle give no instructions to masters? Mr. Thompson was proceeding when The Venerable Chairman left the meeting, apparently overcome by fatigue. Mr. J. STURGE then took the chair, and Mr. THOMPSON then continued. He bad said that the Apostle Paul had addressed precepts to slaves providing for the safety of their masher: and their property, but he had also addressed precepts to masters. And here he (Mr. Thompson) would take the opportunity of complaining of the modern practice of appealing to the Set iptures in America. He knew tint there were hundreds of preachers in tt , e S3utb who were exuedingly fond of searching the writings of St. Rtul whenever he might refer to the defies of slaves, but who seemed to Imo completely forgotten the other precepts of the Apostle.
