Monday the wind bad Mend round from the safe
quarter from which it had been blowing north-emit,
gradually to south-west, being then straight on shore
in the West Bay; but fortunately it was but a zephyr
compared to the terrible sou'-westers which drive ships
on the pebble beach. On Monday night or Tuesday
morning it again backed to the eastward, the violent
weather came on again, and Portland was wrapped in
mist and drenched with rain, with the prospect of
worse weather, for the Yankees prophesied • gale

Their mission-house in London was situate just under St.
Paul's, at the bottom of Ludgate Hill, and every Monday
mint as the clock struck four, the Clerrinan
of the City Minion requetted that all should kneel in
prayer. Now their committee was • representative body
--one half being members or the Eatablished Church and
the other b.ll members of Noncedorming chards/v. Lust
Monday the committee bad to consider that whilst London
had increased during these last fire years by hundreds of
thousands, not only had Vey severel nr-in oft but that
there was a possibility that they would have to dismiss
ten more of their missteps, ism in • very short time,
through a failure of funds They had at the bead of the
committee the merch•nt prince Kr. Bevan, and around
that table were business men w.hose minute were worth
gold. As the clock struck four Mr. Bevan said "Lot us
pray " and there they all knelt in prayer—these men of
all ristiominatione, repreenting London, Ragland, aud
the world. After prayer the minutia were read, and then
cams the lettere. Om of the lint opened was ti gay that
a lady would give £2,500, in crier to torment the removal
of spy missionaries. (Applause.) Besides Hole one of the
absent members of the committee sent them £6OO. (Ap-
phase ) It wenn be well to tell those present that not
only did the members of the committee perform import-
ant duties, but they were amongst their most generous
givers, for they contributed around the table
upwards of noo • year. (Hear, hear) Thus it
use in this their hour of need that the Lord came to
their Intr. Although it was true their labourers were f ewer,
still it was the spiritual work that was the great matter.
God was giving great effect to the efforts of their mission-
aries and blessing their labours most abundantly. There
were no less than 131 dbitricte under his (th'o speaker's)
direction, and in reading over the reporti of the men
and visiting with them he was estooished at the amount
of blessing which God heal given them, even lb the day of
their adversity, for there never was a year like the post in
which the mercy of suocesslul work hat been more
abundant Mr. WeyllanO then lotiriot an interesting
mac lota of Lord Shaftesbury. He was dining with his
lordship Mai time ago, When be expressed • wish to see
how the work was cal ried on in Whitiohapel. So the
carrizge wee ordered and they got to Wiiitachapel, some-
where about nine o'clock. Calling on one ot their
missionaries to the public-houses who lived near, they
visited two or three of the gtiopusees. Tney entsred on.
in which were assembled 30 or 40 men or women. Lord
Shaftesbury asked for some tracts, and there In that
wretched Ours the noble lord distributed them with all the
vigour and energy of a young man, entering into
conversation with them seeemblei, and telling them the
way of salvation. They were joined by several missionary
friends. His lordship then asked them to go with blot
into one of the singing rooms, which they did. Lord
Shaftesbury and he (ID. Wellyand) took their seats out of
sight, while the missionary went round with his tracts.
mere were no less than 130 or 150 men end women of the
baser sort in the noon'. A Platform was meted at one
end, end • veteran was gam{ rouad with grog for the
customers. A man at one of the tsbles then made • greet
noise with • install mallet and shouted "A harnateur
will now obluga" A wretched-looking woman than
jumped on the platform and screamed it gong. All this
while the missionary with his bundled tracts, was mak-
ing his way through the room, shskbg lands with those
he knew and speaking to each some Wilma Scripture text
such as ,We must all stied beim the judgment seat
of Christ," and 'Pepin to meet thy God." They noticed
the missionary was received with the greatest
standing there is he was amongst men most dens=aci:a
fallen. After this song was finished Lord Shaftesbury
said— 'I have men enough; let me go." But while he
was saying this the man with the mallet struck the table
and shouted—" A savage wot eats fire will now appear."
A most revolting and savagslooking man, about six feet
higb, and droned in • most extraordinary manner made
his appearance. The "eating" fiery tow soon made his
face very much reddened, and altogether it was a terrible.
exhibition. At the close of the perforemaace the man
jumped down and went all round the room, drinking.rim
everybody's glue to cool his parched mouth. At
be approached them, and leed Shaftesbury remarked
him—" I suppose it is spirits of wine that you have in the
tow r "TO yer what, inv'nor,^ reOlted the man," I
knows my budnese, and doesn't tell other people." Mir.
Weylland said to hirer" It is Saturday night now ; you
will be all right to-morrow." "I goes to have a tittle
religion in the open on Sundays," laid he. "What do you
mean r asked his lordship. The man replied—"l goes out
where there are some men wet stands and preaches; I
likes to hear rreacbing, because if I does pretend to be
savage, I likes to be a Christian." Lord Shaftesbury was
now thoroughly interested in the man, and said to him—
"How, than, are you to be nude a Christina r " L took
here, Chine," replied he, "it Is to do nothing wrong,
wet makes a man • Christian." "You must do something
more than that," said Lord Shaftesbury in a sub Ned
kindly tone. He then explained to the poor man the way
of salvation—that he had sinned and broken the law of
God, and that those sins would bring their punishment,
unless be sought (lid's mercy through the Lord Jesus
Christ." " Yes, I know Out." he repilisil "and thank you
very much." They then left, and as they were leavine
they noticed that the missionary was standing up in thy
room preaching Jesus earnestly and simply, and as tbeg
went not of the room this dreadful-looking man. looking
Lard Sbaftesboui full in the lane, and holding out hit
bawl, aaid "Good bye, joiner." The noble nisi, grouped it
stormily and heartily. and thi no be (Mr. Wei Band) thought
stood tare to face two representative men—the one repre-
senting the wretchednem and spiritual destitution of
London, and the other representing the philanthropic and
Christian men of Eogland and of tie world. (Applause.)
So they parted, and they went on their way, passing
through one of their districts—through low street and
oirrow pimages. passing many drunken no n aid women
but Lord Shaf tethury did not flinch, and when they reached
home he said "It is • glorious work, this publicthous•
visitetion but aftir ill this battle must be fought in the
homes of the people." And that wu just the principle of
their London City Misoon. While they had men who
preached Jesus in no lees than 23 leerier. s, and while
they vs, no able to toreech Curi-t in the open striets, still
they wiire permeated that it was the quid effective work
of visiting from room to r uno anil reasoning w ith men,
women, and children in each particular district that
was the great work of the homely. (Hear, heir.) They
ha I no less than 300 districts wettered ttr ',hoot the
vast metropolis, and it ells • glorious w ,k, tois making
men acquainted with the power of the Gourd of C•irist.
Every day at 10 o'clock upwards of 410 men went on their
great work, and he as an old mimionary, would bear
witness before this meeting Ord the Lord our God was
faithful in His promiso, that their work should not be
vain in the Lord. Besides the missioniu lee that were in
active work they bail dependent on the society newly 40
veterans, some of them nearly SO years of age, who had
spent their whole life in this work. The society allowed
them one sow reign each weekly for their support.
These old workers hail all !showed well in th. ir Master's
cause, and when they reached that heavenly rest to which
they were so very near, they were cort On to meet some
who by them bad been gather id from amongst the most
depraved, and toad., member, of the kingdom of God's
dear Son. As representing the committee he thanked the

collections for the County Hospital were consid-rod the
most iinportant of all, and that generally am inured to
about 14 guineas, en that the support given towards the
society was very little abort of that sum. (Applause.)
The Rev. W. ALLZ.I then mooned a vote of thanks to
Mr. Weylland for his interesting addraw. He could
endorse all he had said in regard to the work of the
mission, and he knew of nothing that should call out their
sympstby and benevolence more than tine. It was one of
the grandest works he knew. He had been speaking to
Miss Curme about collecting, for he should like to take a
collecting.book, and he would guarantee to get something
kayoed& it. (Hear, hem.) He thought very highly of the
mission, for it was doing a gnat work. He had met
Christians in all parts of Engeod, who attributed their

The meeting then concluded with the Bonediction.
