Twit REV. A. Rilitem OR SLAVERY.—The Rev.
A. Raleigh, of Hare-court Chapel, Canonbury, preached
• special sermon on the subject of slavery on Bun-
t* evening. The rev. gentleman chose for his text
Heb. xiii. 3, " Remember them that are in bonds,
an bound with them ; and them which suffer ad-
versity, u being yourselves also in the body." He
maid that the efforts now being made to create a reaction in
public sentiment and to diminish the horror in which slavery
is held by Englishmen—even to justify it on commercial
grounds—made it the duty of those who felt it to be •
crime and • disgrace to humanity to lift up their voices
against it. The attitude taken by some of the
journals of the day, defeoding slavery on Son=
gonads —a position also taken /by many warms when
interests lay in maintaining the slue system of We
southern states of Amerie—made it equally
that ministers of religion and all who profound to be f
lowers of Jesus should expose the sophistries by which such
a principle was supported. Mr. Raleigh them entered into
an exposition of the character of Hebrew servitude, showing
that it was as different from modern slavery as light is
from darkness, and that even in the form in which it was
permitted there was abundance of evidence to show that it
was tolerated in the old dispensation, just as polygamy was,
because of the hardness of men's Marta, and the poonliar
circumstances of those times, rather than from any
of the Almighty to make it perpetual The broad
ciples of benevolence and justice which Sr. everywhere to
be found in the Scriptures were directly opposed to slavery,
and every one who was imbued with those principles must
hate an institutioa so degrading to the human race and dia.
honouring to God. The sermon was most attentively listened
to by • crowded and infloestial congregation, and appeared
to produce a great iippreasion.—Patriot.
bwiAitiNG ON HOMER'S ILIAD.—The Cork Con-
stitutios relates the following occurrence :—The reporter of
the Constitution, on going to the court, took with him •
copy of Rower's lhad to read during the purer which
occur in the triala. Business getting rather hurried, the
matte:at-fact prose of the police took precedence of the
poetry of Homer, and the Iliad was laid carelessly by on
the reporter's table, at the front of which the parties se-
gued in the trial stand. After a good deal of business bad
been transacted, the (moth was suddenly stopped by Heed
Constable Carey announcing to the magistrates that the trit-
ium who was being examined, and whose evidence had gone
on for some time, was not sworn on the Testament, but on
the Iliad, • statement productive of blank amassment on
the part of some, and of no little hilarity on that of others.
Mr. Julian, who was engaged in the ems, said he was in-
formed that several witnesses in the previous cases had been
eras on it. Their worships, after a panes of some dura-
tion, seemed to think there was no help for the matter, and
prooseded with the business.
