was kept 000tinnally burning. Others he saw strung
together, several in a group, the string that attached
them together passing through varietu parts of their
bodies. To hint it was • most sickeriing and sadden-
ing sight, and from its oontemplation be gladly turned
into the premises o 'Deemed with their mission, and
there he could not but draw • happy contrast with
what he saw without. It was in the early prat of
the morning, and he placed himself in the large ball ofl
the building, which was speedily tilled with several
hundred native youth., all neatly clothed. One of the
miesionaries commenced the morning's work by
giving out a hi mu and short devotional exercises,
awl then the youths immediately formed themselves
tutu .beir customary classes, with their various
teachers, and he won hail the happiness of seeing the
whole of those youths engaged in that ball in read-
ing, Or learning an read, one common book, and that
woe she Word of God. coming fresh from the wane
outside he could not but look upon the bright in-
telligent countenances of those youths thus engaged
with peculiar emotions. There were now in con-
nection with the varionamissien stations from 150.000
to 200,000 persons in constant attendance, hut he did
not pretend to tell them that they wire all Christians,
but their attendance upon theil services was an in-
dication that they ha-I lost faith in the idolatrous
religion of their hatters, to say nothing more, but
they could say more, for they numbered 40,000
church members, persons ho had openly avowed their
attachment to Christianity and faitti in the gospel,
and there were no lass than 2,000 native Christians
employed daily either as teachers, catechists,
ministers, oolpirteure, and the like, and this latter
tact he regarded as • most hopeful feature in their
work, for be wee folly oonvieeed that if India was
ever to be folly evangelised it could never be accom-
plished exclusively by European agency—it must be
effeted mainly by the natives themselves. He
might go into additional statistics, but he might be
met with the query "What is the Chi istianity of the
natives worth r He thought that they might take
it, considering to what it subjected most of its pro-
fessors, that in the majority of oases it was sincere.
He knew of nothing so much calculated to try the
sincerity of any one's profession as persecution, and
they would probably remember the generally con-
sistent conduct of the native Christians during the
fearful mutiny that prevailed there • few years
sines. He admitted that there might have been
some oases of apostacy from the truth, but in the
midst of those trying scenes the majority held fast
their allegiance to the truth they had embraced,
and in several instances sealed their faith by
their blood. India bad had its martyrs for the
faith as well as Molagacar. The reverend gentle-
man next proceeded to review the many hopeful
indications that the state of India at present pre-
sents is centrist with the past. Their great Hind.°
forlvals, which, years ago, were se attractive, and
appeared to have such • hold upon the minds of
the people, were becoming decidedly lees popular,
and the number attending them wan much lees
than formerly. The missionaries had not now to
contend against that bitter opposition which met the
earlier labourers in the field on every hand ' • the
missionary now might go where he would, and he
would find at least • patient and respectful hearing.
It was • feature worthy of note that those who bad
laboured longest in the field, and of cowrie whole
experience was the greatest, looked upon the present
aspect of ludia with the strongest feelings of hope-
ful anticipation. They could look back upon the
past and call to mind the change that had taken
plasm and the progress the work was now making
and were encouraged thereby. The Government
oollegee and educational institutions which were
eagerly resorted to by largenumbers of the well4o-do
youths, both of the principal cities and towns of India,
although they did nothing more than give to them a
good secular education, the Bible being excluded, he
considered, in conjunction with the varied mission
schools, were doing • good work, and the education
thus imputed could not hut shake the faith of the
intelligent youth of that country from belief in the
Hindu° mythology taught by the Hindus) Shastera
Many of the early obstacles were being gradually
removed, hut still there was much yet to be accom•
Wished. The power of caste was spoken of as still
being • most powerful instrument in the hands of
Satan, but even that was beginning to be. its hold
upon the people. At • missionary meeting in the
midland counties, he heard from Mr. George
Thompson, who was formerly member for the Tower
Hamlets, and who had been much in India, a
remarkable confirmation of this. Wishing to go up
the river Hooghly on an excursion, he applied
to a wealthy Brahmin for the loan of a boat;
lii. was readily granted, and the next morn.
tog be was asked if he had any objection to
some of his young friends accompanying him
he baying made himself very popular at the
colleges in giving lectures—he said, "Certainly not."
On going to the boat at the appointed time he was
very agreeably surprised to find from 30 to 40 youths
belonging to the most wealthy and respectable
Brahmin families awaiting his arrival. He felt that
he must be very particular daring the day not to
offend them on the point of caste. After some time
Mr. Thnmpeon wanted his breakfast, and silently and
unobserved slipped below in order to get it. On
reaching the cabin he was surprised to find there a
long table spread for forty or fifty persons furnished
with all sorts of English and Indian delicacies.
There was scarcely anything that them young men
could have toeched without breaking caste. Not
knowing what to do he went on deck and
speaking to one of • small group of the
young men asked what was meant by what
he bad seen. He was told that he had
discovered their secret before they intended. They
had provided the breakfast and intended asking
him to join them in sitting down together. Accord.
iogly they sat down together, and Mr. Thompson
introduced the subject of caste, and the young men
frankly told him that the instructions they had
received where such that they were induced to regard
mate in no other light or to care anything more
about it than himself. He asked them why, if they
were thus oonvinoed, they did not openly avow it.
They replied that they must wait, there were thou.
sands who entertained the same view as themselves,
and when they were strong enough to stand by one
another the whole thing would go. A similar feel-
ing existed in other cities beside, Calcutta, so that
he might say the masterpiece of Satan =tong the
Hindoos, by which he had held in iron bonds the
people for en many centuries, was giving way to the
spread of education and the power of truth. The
influence of the Roman Catholics in India
I was nest touched upon. They were for
more numerous than Protestants, and the natives
were accustomed to regard their images and
their own idols in the self-same light, and related an
amusing instance of two natives quarrelling, one a
Catholic and the other • Hindoo the cause of arm.
plaint being that the Catholic had struck the Hiodoo
for telling him that his St. Anthony was • younger
brother of his Oninaieb. The Hoodoo told the
magistrate that what he said was perfectly right, for
sows months' previously he was in want of •
Guinaisb, and went to the carver to get one. He
entered one, and the emboli° subsequently ordeted
the carver to make him a St. Anthony. The two
were made from the same block of wood and his
Oninaish first, so that the Catholic's image most be a
uoungsr brother of his. The incident showed the
lt,nd of regard with which the images of the Catholics
were treated as well as the waning respect shown by
the Hindoos to their own. The rev, gentleman con'
aidered the Catholics in India, with their images,
processions, &a., in which they imitated so closely
the idolatrous practice of the native., as an
impediment to the spread of Christianity. The
work of the press in connection with the
missions was spoken of as being mighty for
good. The whole of the Scriptures bad
been translated into ten languages generally
spoken, the New Testament into five more, and
separate portions of Scripture into about six more,
so that the Scriptures, or portions of Scripture
might now be read in India in twenty of the
leading languages spoken by the pi .pla, To
show that there was • denim among the
people to possess themselves of these works, he
stated that in Madras presidency alone 10,000 «Tim
bad been sold in one year. A great change had also
come over the minds of the Eoglish residents in
India, and instead of the open immoralities that ha
characterised the English residents of former years,
too that the natives had spoken of the religion of the
Europeans se "the devil's religion," the English
nnidents were now regarded with feelings'
of esteem and isepeot A warm tribute
was paid to the Chnstian character exemplified
by many of the British soldiers there, both
efEcere and men, and the speaker concluded by
urging upon the audience, if the efforts of them:Say
were to be maintained, and neff fields which were
opening for the exercise of missionary effort were to
he occupied, to commence • systematic plan of giving
of their substance, so that the funds might be
augmented. He called upon them to let the love of
Christ constrain them to greater exertions in his
canoe, remeniber Mg that in India alone 5,000 idolaters
pared into eternity daily, without hope and ignorant
..f the future which awaited them, to say nothing of
China with her population of 400,000,000, of which
10,000 souls passed from this stage of existence every
day without the slightest knowledge of • Saviour.
The rev, gentleman's address was listened to with
evident interest by an attentive sadism*, and the
doxology having been sting the meeting was brought
to • close, • colieotion being made at the doors in
aid of the funds of the society.

EX eTER.

Tor cholera appears to lye tinting Devonshire
very severely. At Exeter the mortality has been
very heavy. amounting to forty deaths in four weeks
in the west district alone.

Heroine held out well against the storm, and um
proved that iron-clads are good 9E4 boats. However,
there was one movueut of doubt, for the Plandre,
plunging into an of.ormous wave, emerged with the
lom of her bow•prit•nd topmast.. This .tomn continued
to the eireo,„, of the 7th. *hen it mnder•hel, and the
vessels got up 11,91111 and urived at Bust at nine o'clock
at night.

RTN•wan SUICIDE OW •N EIIOLISH GIRL 111 FIANCE.
—The Temps gives the following
nary suicide committed by • young Enghalt girl in
France :—M. and Madame B—, residing in the Rue
FAlllynirg St. Henore, engaged an a governiss for two
Toon • dsughters, an orphan girl.Lecy ft—, a native
of Liverpool. She was will arprapited with trio English
anti French tango urea, ea ins, and memo Pomesaing
• sweet temper awl eneming manners, she was greatly
respected and beloved by M. and. Madame it—. When
they went to their routs ry seat in the beginning of
user, she went with thou. There she bectme quite
melancholy, and though every means was employed to
divert her, she emitinued in this state and refused to
give any reason font. At length she attempted boons.
u3it suicide with the fumes of ch acoal, but she we.
cover. d in time to prev n: the completimi of herdesign.
A physician was celled in. who directed that she should
be carefully watched. This was done, but one day
Lucy soddenly disappeared, and no one was able
to tell where she had gone. Fifteen days passed from
the period of her disappearance. At the end of that
' time a Oiaareeable smell was noticed in the house, and
lit was traced to a room which was merely used m a
lumber room and was 3exrcely ever entered. A large
chest reating on s box containing book, were found here.
The cheat was opened, and is it Cs. discovered the half
decomposed body of Imey. She held fast in her right
hand • photograph of H. S—, which she asked for •
fee deys before, and on the back of it was mitten the
following words:—" M. B—, I ask your pardon for
my death. I loved you. Not daring to tell you, end
too weak to leave you, I thought that I must die. I
also ask pardon of Madame B—, who was so ood
to me." The past tr.ortem examination proved that she
must have made several attempts at suicide, for in her
stomach was found pine, nails, and poison.

I DIMAND TOR LABOUR IR New SOUTH Wsete.—Mr.
G. F. Wise, the agent for itomigration at Sydney, in a
I report recently received by the Emigration Commiesion-
ers, says :—"Female domestic servants thoroughly so-
' quaintest with their duties, as well u farm labourore
and shepherds, readily obtain situations on renionerative
terms; bet for educated persons, such as governesses,
tutors, clerks, Ice., there is no demand, and the emigre,
tin to the colony of such peraons (unless for the pur-
pose of joining friends or relatives able to maintain them

Colonial Government makes the MORI careful provision
I for the protection and effective settlement of the single
I -.one., who come to the colony under the au:pia • of
the Emigration Commissioners, unacoompenied by friends
or relatives, as well as of those who are no aconmparded,
hot whose relatives desire that they should take advan-
tage of the Government regulation:. Each immigrant

niigration, who ascertains the capabilities and wighes
with reranl to employment of the immigrants on boerd,
and instroots those coining to join relatlyee or friends aa
to thr beat mode of reaching their destination. The
single women are oat once landed and tee, ived into the
ilepet at Hyde-park, which is always reedy for their re-
reception, where they are comfortably located in large
and well-ventilated apartments, and are treated with
the greatest care and attention by the matron. under
the direction of the agent tot immigration. After in-
snection by the Immigration Board, those going to re-
latives or friends are discharged as applied for. About
thy, days after arrival at the depot a hides day is
appointed, which is advertised in the doily paper.. No
person is admitted into the hiring room who is not
p-raonally known to the officers of the department to be
of good character, or who ha. not •oertificate of reaped-
ability from a clergyman or magistrate. Families and
single male immigrants have the option of going direct
Dom the ship to their ft ends, or of living on board ship
under the se peri otendanoe of the surgeon-so pe ri n tendon t,
who is advised and aatisted by an officer from the
immigration department. During the year 1865, 359
female domestic servants were hired from the del et at
as average rate of wages of LIT; and Nicely men were
hired from on board ship 11A agricultural labourers at
wages of about £.lO per annum, with board and lodging."
Emigration at the expense of the colony of N•Ye South
Wale. Is carried on by means of what ate called "puttees
c.:rtilleates," issued under colonial regulations dated the
19th of May, 1863. The certificates can be obtained only
from the colonial Government by residents in the colony.
They are of two kinds-1, where the names and descrip-
tions of the person, to be ietroduced are given to the
colonial Govemisient and are Inserted in the eertificate
before it is issued ; and 2, where the name., &a, are not
given, but are to be inserted by the holder of the certifi-
cate after it is Gaited. The payments to be made are in
the former case, for each male under 12 years. £4; l2
and under 40 yarn, £7; 40 and under 60. £9 ; and all
above 50, £l2; for each female L'3, £4, ET, and £l2,
In the latter cases the payments are morn—viz., for
each male under 12, E 4 • 12 and under 40, Cil ; 40,

female the payments in both canes are the same. The
nominees in either ease most be mechanics, domestic
:servants, or penons of the labouring class, in good
health and of goal moral character. "Passage omit.

months from their date, and for passages only in the
ships of the Etnignaion Coroiniaionere, to whom they

from the official returns that the number of assisted
emigrants who arrived in New South Wales in the year
1864 was 3,977, of whom 731 were English, 278 Scotch,
2.916 Irish, awl 22 from other conntries. Of these

sensible and feasible suggestion with regard to the sop-

not extravagant cottages, rented, of course, below their

CURILVe WILL. —The late Mr. J. Sergeant, of
Leicester, has contributed • very curious pater to the

folMeing clause :—" A s my nephews are fond of indulg-

to prove to the satisfaction of my executors that they
have got out of bed in the morning, and eitheremployed
themselves in business or taken exercise in the open air,

of good. The noble earl made some well-timed
remarks on strikes, in the meow of which ha referred
to the dieputee in the iron trade between masters and

the fact that within a very few weeks the kiss in

opinion the, if a really Christian spirit prevailed

of her Majesty's guard ships and sent to the Rear :—"I
am ',wry to tell you that I saw • poor fellow flogred on

to give him two dozen apiece. The first one Boned him

to him "Take them up and do your duty, or I vii flog

two more attempts to flog him, but he could not; so
they had to get another man to some and do it. and the
other poor fellow is put down in the oells to wait to be
trted by a court martial for refusing to flog the Ma.
I thought our captain was a very nice man, bu after

INAUGURATION OF THR STATOR Op TIN QUILT AT

last Thursday by his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales, in the propene* of an immense multitude of
spectators. Hie Royal Highness arrived from
Abergeldie at about two o'clock in the afternoon. The
local authorities were waiting to receive him with all
honour. Lord Derby, the Earl of Rioloch, and other
noblemen and gentlemen were present, and the romption which the Prince met wish was most enthusiastic.
The freedom of the city was presented to him, and, in •
brief speesh, he acknowledged the honour which he had
thos received. and the welcome with which he 66A been
greeted. The procession was then formed, and went in
I pre-arranged order from the railway station to the place
I where the statue was erected, at the corner of Nicholas-
street. Dense crowds lined the way. The statue was
unveiled amidst loud cheers. The chairmen of the oom-
mittee of subeeribers made &speech. In reply the Prises
I said her Majesty had desired him to express how
well she appreciated the notices which had led the
people of Aber leenshire to give this lasting evidence of
their attachment and loyalty to her person. This she
added to the many other proofs of the aympathy in
her great sorrow which had touched her so deeply. The
Prince ooncluded by espresaing Ids hearty desire to join
in their prayers that her Majesty might long be spared
to reign over • loyal, happy, and devoted people. After
the ceremony, his Royal Highness spoke to (be sculptor,
Mr. Brodie. and expressed himself much satisfied with
the statue. The Prince, Lord Derby, and a numerous
party were entertained at luncheon by the Lord Provost
and mag6tr stes.

eIiOLPRA AMOIIOIII. TRI 1101,14C1C116.—The Maid-
alone and ReatisA Journal states that at Yalding, •
large village in which there is a eonsiderable acreage of
hops, there has been a wrioug ontbseak of cholera.
During the laA week there were 26 eases, of which 6
died, 4 recovered, and 16 yet remain under treatment.
The cases as yet are all imported ones„ and the disease
appears to be of a very virulent type the persons at-
tacked dying in the course of • few hours. Hospital
tents have been erected, and • temporary hospital but
has been built. In lisrden parish • few miles distant
there have been two attacks, both of whith were fatal.
The annual immigration of horpickers from London
has been the means of introducing cholera to a consi-
derable extent. Some idea of the numbers conveyed by
the two railway companies having lines running into
the Kentish hop-growing district may be for,ned when
it is stated that 15,000 have been carried by the South-
Eastern Company alone. At Maidstone the board of
guardians acting as the local authority, instituted a
rigid supervision of the common lodging-bens.; and
prevailed upon the railway company to take as many of
the pickers as they possibly could direct to their desti-
nation to prevent the town becoming overcrowded. The
condition of tile poor creatures as they arrived, hungry,
illiclid, and tired, in the drenching rain, was moat de-
plorable. They consisted mainly of Irish from the east
end of London, and each party had generally • large
number of young children with them, their custom
loeing to make the "hopping" • family outing of from
low to six weeks' duration. The provision made for
the reception of these poor people by the hop-growers
is in many cases very indifferent for wet weather. The
"hoppers' houses" art hovels intended only for shelter
at night, and in which there is but little provision for
the comfort of an evening fire. The custom is to make
• large bonfire near, about which the people, old and
young, congregate. In some cases old Crimean tents
take the place of buts ; and these, although pleasant
enough in fine warm autumn; are but little suited to
seasons like the present.

however, the "Old Adam" asserted itself, and in order
to °over his personal extravagance the young man helped
himself to his employers' cash to the intent of £3,000.
He, of course, himself eloped, and .11 the ingenuity of the
detective officials could not discover his whereabouts. In
the meantime, the fugitive went to America, and (as
afterwards transpired) engaged himself to a well-known
dry goods merchant of New York. with whom be re.

muter being an ardent patriot, offered to advance
handsome sums of money to any of his clerks who
would volunteer for the war, and the hero of this brief
narrative was one who accepted the offer. He went
through some of the severest brushes of the campaign
without receiving a wound; fought at Yrederickshurg,
Seven Oaks, and other places, and held a subordinate
command during Sherman's great march. At the cio-e
of the struggle he fell in love with and married the
wealthy young widow of one of the Federal generals
who wu killed at Gettysburg. After their marriage
the lady wiabed to visit Borland. but there was one
difficulty in the way—the 113,000. Ultimately, however,
it was decided that the wieest course would be to refund
the mount, and to the delight of the Liverpool firm
they received by the tut steamer an order for the
amount with 6 per cent. interest from the date of the
eashier's elopement.

with his little boy on his back to see If, Imply, this 0011
lamb of his ravaged flock may be spared to him. This
is the sickly, untimmital view o/ the matter; but the

suffering child in a very different light. Little /Haub

shunted off elsewhere. Writhing evert then in the peae

quarters of an hour the question whether be should he
admitted or pseud on to the German Hospital. And
here we are introduced to the two persons who play
such an odious and revolting part in this meleneholy
drams. They are Mr. and ars. Drina, husband and
and wife, the master and the matron of Hackney Work-
house. Immediately on the arrival of the doleful contoe
at the workhouse gate the surgeon's order for the .4-
mission of the child to the iron hones was handed
to the matron by Mr. Jones, the unitary rub-inmeetor,
who was informed by her that sbe would take the
master's pleasure upon the subject, and the master's
pleasure was that the child Mould not be admitted, but
pecked off to the German HespitaL Mr. Oxley, the
assistant of the workhouse surgeon, neat appeared on
the scene, and urged that as the night was cold and wet,
and the child was "getting very ill, vomiting end
turning blue," as it sat on the form, it should be imme-
diately admitted to the iron house, whom there was
every appliance for medical treatment, and where there
were twelve beds vacant at that very moment. The
matron was still obdurate. The chief nurse urged that
the child was not in a it state to be removed, and was
promptly reminded—" I are the matron here, and know
what lam about." Mr. Oxley again remonstrated, and
was met by • point-blank refusal, upon whirl's he seat
for Dr. Bummers, another of the medical stet of the
workhouse, who wrote out on the spot an immediate
order for the admission of the child, who, sitting on
the form in the open poreh, exposed to the cold and
damp of a rainy night. had "vomited twice, and was
rapidly getting worse." Bet the stony-hearted matron
WY quite equal to the occasion. With the child
dying before her eyes she repeated her refus, informing
the medical staff with superb hauteur that "the master
would do as be pleased, that he had always been master
in the house, and would continue so." "The Mad
kept getting worse." Mr. Driscoll at length makes his
appearanee, but merely to justify his ref nail on the
ground that he did so "in the exercise of his dieeretiou."
The result of this abortive conference in the gateway
ICU that the master and matron carried their point.
After the lapse of three-quarters of an hour the suffering
little one was huddled off to the German Hospital, where
be died next morning, the death being undoubtedly
hastened, if not directly caused, by exposure to the
bitter weather and the protracted delay in applying
medical remedies. The verdict of the jury upon these
fads wan—' That the deceased died from the mortal
effects of cholera, and that his said death was aceelereted
by the detention of the deceased in the workhouse gate-
way, and by his removal to the Oerman Hospital,
through an error in judgment of the master of the
Hackney Workhouse."

DEATH 01 MR. G. R. Ft/X.—Al our readers may
have notioed, the death of Mr. David Ramsay Hay, the
eminent house deoorator and author, took place at his
house, Jordan Bank, Morningside, on Monday, the 10th
instant, in his sixty-eighth year. Mr. Hay hid been
for some years very much confined by indisposition, aid
for some months back had not been able to leave his
room. His death, however, cam* at len,th rather un-
expectedly. The melancholy event will eremite a blank
in tbe list of our meritorious authors, and will be deeply
lamented by a wide circle of Mende. The following ig
from " Knight's English Cyeloiwilia :"—"David Ramsay
Hay was the author of -ome able works on decoration,
and on the principles of form and colour applicable to
various branches of art. Engaged at Minburgh in the
business of house-painting, he was one of the very small
number of persons following • commercial pursuit con-
nected with building who may claim to rank as artists—
art involving Use exereise of original mind, and the
power to discover and unfold the beautiful in various
forms and new relations. Mere house-painting not only
requires Fa manual skill and chemical knowledge
than are ordinarily given to it, but it may be properly
regarded as an art, like those higher bran:hes called
painting and aeulptore. Hr. Hay was born in Edinburgh
in the year 1798. His father flying young. his mother
and her family were left wholly unprovided for. He

Hay's test.; he was often einght pencil in hand; sad
after having several times incurred the displeasure of
the foreman for infecting with his love of drawing the
boys of the establishment, the young artist, with his
benefactor's sanction, at the age of fourteen, left the
printing office, and engaged himself as an apprentice to

be learned the rudim,lite of the trade. He then eet to
work painting and copying pietures. One of his pro-
duetions meeting the eye of Mr. (afterwarJs bir Welter)
Scott, the latter fingered him to paint a portrait of his
favourite cat. Scott was pleased with the production.
kindly interested himself in the artist, and often talked
with him about his (Mr. Hay's) prospects in life ; the
result was that, by Seitt's advice, Mr. Hay devoted his
abilities to decorative tionw-painting rather than to a
