then referred to several colonies which were ripe end
ready to receive the truths of the sad only

harvest. Thew difficulties only called upon them to do
more than they had done before, and he thought the
very foot that thew large fields of labour were now
opened to them was aproof that Ged was Mewing the work,
and they could bay* no excuse in not doing their utmost to
help and carry it forward. After some further observations
his lordship concluded by propceing the following resolu-
tion :—" 'that it is the bounden duty of the English
nation, in gratitude to Almighty God for its abundant
temporal and spiritual blessings, to use every means in its
power to spread the knowledge of the pawl throughout the
world, especially in countries peopled- from its shores, or
forming part of its druniniona*—The resolutico was

fourth of its population belonged to her. Rome,wben in
the height of her greatness, wirer bad such an extent of
empire as England had, and the places were so situated
that she might become the eungeliser of the
woild. He referred to an extant* in a paper
which stated that the Propagation Society bad been
in operation for 162 years. When it entered upon
its work there were oak 20 clergymen in the
oolonies, but now there were more than 3,000, 450 of
whom were supported by this society, and there were
now 42 colonial bishops. The rev. gentleman gave
some interesting details respecting the spiritual des-
titution of the colonists in some parts of Australia, and
urged upon all churchmen to assist this society in 1161
great work. —The Right Rev. the Lots! Bishop of
Mumanta proposes! the second resolution, as follows :
" That the long-contlnued and increasing efforts of the
Society for the Propagation of the Gomel in Foreign
Parts to provide chumbes and clergymen for the
colonies, &nil to maiutain missionaries in heathen lands,
Entitle it to the approbation and support of every one
who seeks to promote the extension of Christ's kMg-
dom." The right rev. prelate, in the course of a lengthy
and excellent apeoch, whieh we are unfortunately ocim-
pelled coneidereblv to condense, owing to want of spew,
said the effort of the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in providing churches and ministers had been of
long continuance, and it. efforts were increasing, there-
fore it was entitled to the approbation of every one who
sought to eupport Christ's kingdom. The society was
at the present time engaged In more extensive operations
then at any other period of It. existence. It contributed
to the support of the church in almost every colony at
the British empire, and supported missionaries in almost
cooly part of the world. But he would °Doane himself
to the operations of the society which had come under
his own personal observation. Almost now, in the new
found world of Australasia, the church. bad ceased to
draw upon the funds of the parent society. They had
placed themselves in the position of • loving and grateful
ohild, who after haviog had help sod rapport sought to
do without soliciting its parent's aid. He had declined
soliciting aid for his colony, that of Tasmania, because
he thought there were other places which required
&miaow* more than that colony did. His chief
reason for doing so was this, that when be looked
around and saw thc number, of people with which
the colony was populated, amongst whom were
some of the most glorious specimens of generosity
and liberality, he thought that Lf these did their duty
he shmild have no need to crave for alms from Emboli.
lint the fact could not be conosaled, the bulk of the
people did not do their duty. Did they do so in
England? He would cease to find fault with his own
people when he looked at the wretched statement which
had been put before him of the funds of the Propagation
Society. The gratitude of all the colonies was due to
this society, for bait it not provided all of them with
spiritual welfare, they would have been far leas attended
to than they had been. They were indebted to this
society for everything, and every colonial bishop would
agree with him when be stated that so long as it had
funds it
government of this country never in reality took up the
missionary cause, and never provided for the wants of
her emigrant.; but he found from reading records of old
heathen times, that whenever they Bent out their coloni-
sing ships they started them with prayer* for the welfare
of their crews, and they took out every idol with them,
and their very first course was after landing to erect •
tenqile. The English Government workad upon a very
different principle, at hoist so far as this part of the
• newlound world was concerned. Our shiiss were
freighted with poor miserable convicts, and whilst
every precaution was taken for discipline and punieh-
wont, it was never imagined that they had souls to be
saved, and nothing was consequeotly done. Alluding to
his pen colony, he odd there was no colony which had
more claims on the people of England than it had.
From the year 1842 to 1852 Tasmania was the sole
resort for all the felons of the British empire. He did
not MEAD to soy that 20,000,000 of people sent out to
that colony were the evil fruits of their social system,
but from every portion of the earth where the British
flag was planted there were convicts sent from. Five
thousand a year of the very worst of England's people
were sent out. On his return to England, he found a more
than common amount of alarm amongt the 'simple at being
compelled to have amongst them a small number si
, ticket-of-leave men, bet did they know how may they
soid out annually to Tasmania ? Why they sent out
iO.OOO amongst • few free people, whilst the people tif
England had not many hundreds of ticket-of•leave man
scattered about their land. Those who did not know
what it was to have such men amongst them, could not
imagine what the colony had suffered at the bands of
England. At the present time, however, there were
not inure than 5,000, or 6,000 convicts actually in bond,
but they could not estimate the spiritual difficulties
whichthe clergymen had toencounter with this unhappy
clus. Owing to their baying been bound to attend
church by punishment and I oree, when they got
their liberty that proved nich • sore that they refused
to some at all. W lien convicts were sent to any place
they were disseminating evil which could never be re-
medied. But it was not merely convicts that same to
Taimania, but emigrants, and how many thousands
hail left this shore. There were many and many
a family spresdh.g throughout the wild regions
of the Australian forest, who now never beard
the gospel truths. What was wanted was itinerant
missiimaries, who should carry the knowledge of Christ
to all those who would receive it, There were hundreds
and bemiredo of families living without the means of
grace. What was the remedy for this? Some people
said, "cannot good men go about and distribute good
books amongst the people ?" He said that this was not
the remedy, for on reading God's Word he found that
the gospel was propagated by other means than simply
by disseminating God's Word. They must have tnis-
sfonaries, or else how could the people understand except
tle re was • preacher. Any person who knew what
colonial life was, would say that religion would never be
propagated by telling the people to reed the Bible, and
to carve out their own creed and belief after their own
fashion. As an instance of this, his lordship said that
there were • hundred diffrent religious sects In America
who based their religion upon the Bible, and this even
the Monnonites did, believing that they were right and
we wrung. They must send their missionaries with the
B.ble, and the genuine daughter of that book, the book
of Common Prayer, and then they would be able
to spread the blamed tidings of salvation. His lewd-
ship, after having given some interesting information
respecting the spread of the gospel is the Islands of the
Pacific and the Sandwich Islands, in the latter place the
work of evangelization being going on very sathlactory,
under the ministration of Bishop Papperson, alluded to
the aboriginal blacks of South Australia, and said It
was almost impossible to teach them anything, They
would not learn the English language, and their own
tongue was so poor that it could not give utterance to
any lofty thoughts, Had not the English done nothing
for them? Yes, we had taught them one of the muses
of civilisation, that of drunkenness, and that was the
chief curse of the aborigines. After some Airtime re-
marks, in which his lordship said, if the meeting did
not intend to act upon the resolution, they to
pledge themselves to it. He concluded by ng •
most eloquent and forcible appeal on behalf of the
society.—Tee resolution was seconded by Charles
Raikes, late Commissioner with Lord Clyde
in India, who stated the beneficial result* whieli bad
resulted from missionary labour there. The
were brought to a close by the Bishop pronoPtlilenlitt
benediction and a collection being mede.

ATHELHAMPTOI7.—On Thursday the children
attending the village school of this place enjoyed their
annual treat. At three o'clock, baying previously
meembled to the number of shoat 70, at the school-
room, they marched in proomsion to the beautiful
grounds adjoining the no. old hall, the residence of G.
J Wood, Esq.. where they were welcomed by the
Worthy owner of the niamioa end his lady, and • large
party of ladies and gentlemen. Various amusements
were entered into with much spirit until shortly after
four o'clock, when all present were regaled with a
plentiful supply of tea sd cake. After tea the pmes
were renewed, if possible, with increased ardour until
, half-past six, when • general move took place to the
sichool.room,whetre, in the presence of *large and highly-
respectable company, the ebildren were examined.

the different subjects suitable pieces of musk were
sweetly sung by the children, Mr. Holmes moompaliy-
lug them on the harmonium ; and several pieces,

that the envoy of Juarez, Senor Inpuente, has been in
constant communication both with the Washington

JAMAICA.—The news from Jamaica indicate a de-
ficiency in the sugar and coffee crops, the mum being
the prevalence of drought. A few showers has fallen,
however, which were hailed as the harbingers of a
favourable change. The fire that occurred at Porto
Plata in June last raged for five hours, and burnt the
whole town with the exception of a few Mons.
AMERICA.—Tbe following bit of Yankee brutality is
given by the Times Special Correspondent. A certain
Member of ladies of the Union party, chiefly from the
North, have taken upon themselves the management of
the Bakilllofil hospitals, which are at this time full of
the sick and wounded from the fields of Gettysburg.
'The wife of a Yankee schoolmaster, now at the top of
political inamenon, under Behenek's patronage, is at the
bead of this charitable emaciation. On one of her late
visits this melons woman walked into the ward of the
Confederate wounded with a Federal flag la her hand,
and held the obnoxious stars and stripes over the bead
of a dying sufferer, saying, as Me waved the rustling
silk in his very face: "There, my friend, you were loth
to live under this glorious banner; it must be refreshing
to you at leant to die under it!'

lotion in the snit,- of General Lee, and that the latter
had tendered his resignation, but as the ieforreation
was famished by a refugee it is net worth credence. A
Federal signal station had been captured at Water
Mountain, near Warrantee, with all the property, in-
clusive of horses and wagons, by • body of Confederate
cavalry. Dahlgren anticipates a triumphant moult to
the Federal muse at Charleston. The three-hundred
Parrot gut, which was intended pound Fort
ruamler, it is reported,
rted, had been lost overboard from
the ship that was carrying it, at Morris Island. The
various foreign representatives at Weshingtea bad left
that city, along with Mr. Berard, on an excursion
to the Northern Lam It will be gratifying to
Mr. fieward's friends to find that he has time
to enjoy a summer trip in the present con-
dition of his country. Mr. Darcey Magee has addressed
• letter to a Montreal paper, stating that the Federal
Government bas erected • tort at Rouse Point, forty-
five miles from Montreal, with magazines capable of
containing supplies for 100,000 men, and also barrack
accommodation for a permanent garrison of 5,000 men.

for an invasion of Carted, is to marsh an army ofloo,ooo

JAPAN.—By the arrival of the Overland Mail we
receive some interesting intelligence from Japan. It
Tpears that the indemnity for the outrages inflicted on '
high Bubjeets was not handed over to our charge
d'affairm at Yokohama until, with characteristic malt,
the Japanese envoys had interposed every poesible
°Week and excuse. In the end Colonel Neale, regard-
ing their proceedings as • breach of faith, transferred
the settlement of the business to Admiral Kuper, who
thereupon vivo public notilluition of the fact, and that
at the expiration of eight days he should commence
hostilities. The threat was not meant to be in idle one;
for active preparations were at once made by the fleet
to enforce compliance with our demands. This brought
the Japanese to their lenses. They sought the goad
OffiCei of the French Minister to convey to Colonel
Neale the information of their readiness to pay the
money on the terms originally agreed upon. Admiral
Jourez acceded to the request, when Colonel Neale intl.
mated that as the matter had been =flared to go so
far the whole sum of 440,000 dollars must be paid at
once, instead of by instalments, and that before seven
o'clock next morning. The money, as our readers see
aware, was paid accordingly. The murder of Mr.
Richardson still remains unavenged, the Prince of
Satsuma refusing to deliver up for trial and punish-
ment the guilty partice,who rank amongst his followers.
His Highness will, however, have to render an account
to the British Minister, who, in consequence of this
inability pleaded by the Tycoon's Government to coerce
Satsuma, will adopt the necessary measures with that
object in view. At Nagasaki things were said to wear
a more peaceful aspen, although that could hardly be
consistest with the fast that batteries had been thrown
up which command the port and the shipping.

Gazer Wisner( RAILWAY Arrall&—The ball-
yearly meeting of the amalgamated companies is to be
held at Paddington, on Friday, the 18th September.
Nothing more than conjecture can yet be known of the
dividend, which is to be upon seven months' traffic
receipts. Expectation however, is hopeful, if we may
judge by the increased value to which the shares have
risen during last week or two, and certainly greater
confidence is felt in the future of thisgpreat oompany
than has been the cue for some years. We understand
that, at the approaching meeting, the directors will be
prepared to -recommend • retiring allowance to Mr. C.
A. Saunders, for past and probably future services.
The sum agreed upon is ELME per annum. We are
aware that some shareholders entertain unfavourable
views of Mr. Saunders, and blame him for things for
which, in strict justice, the directors, if not also the
shareholders, are responsible. It is certain that Mr.
Saunders has not smelled himself, like other officials in
like position, of his greet opportunities of acquiring a
fortune; he has devoted the beet portion of his life
entirely to the duties of his arduous and difficult office,
and he ought not now, when increasing years have
somewhat impaired his former energy, to go unre-
warded. It is no fault of his that the policy of his
employers has proved • failure, nor should it be a roman
for dealing harshly with so valuable • servant that be
has had the misfortune to share this daappointment.
So far as the directors are eonoerned--end they have
aertainly the best means of forming • mind judgment
—there is but one opinion, we believe, in favour of the
course we have indicated, and it is OM in which the
shareholders are expected to concur almost unanimously.
