I stationed I have chosen for my text a highly com-
forting and eonsoling theme of the Scriptures, and
one shish slow enables as to appear hero Whom
you this wrathy, and which has brought comfort and con-
selation to my still oppressed spirit. It is *elected from Bt.
Paul's Epistle to the Philippiem, chap. it., v. 9, 10, 11:
Wherefore God alth bath highly smelted him, and given
hints aim whisk is ab ry game. That at the manse of
Jesu every knee should hoe, se things in heaven and %Map
In earth, and Wags under the earth ; end that every towel

upon this tent. I will merely make a few remarks whisk
wear to ms upon it. I have not been able to study, hat I
thought a few words from nis this morning would be accept-
able to yes, and I trust to your warm hearts to sense them."
Mr. firwassa gave an eloqueat exposition of the test, sad
Mabel the mead= of his hearers for more than haltaa-
hoar. The discesees was almost entirely free from the
setephees which have rendered this gentlemsn's
so aseerior, and probably many who came to be
aimed may have goats away disappointed.

to grasp the head whisk he extended from the window of
his breirgitain.

appeal was sada to the yousg men employed in the trading

six weeks. This effort called the attention of the employees
to the great object which the young men in their employ
were endeavouring to carry om, and the eoesequence was
that the employers promptly lent their aid to the cause. The
institution is designed to educate the children of warehouse-
men, clerks, and egoista of houses in the wholesale trade,

LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3.

WILLTAX JANII9 ROBSON, the Crystal Palm* Cons-
may 's clerk, has been convicted of forgery at the Old
Bailey. For this offence Mr. Justice Ems sentenced
him to twenty years' transportation. The sentence is
most just, toe, as the learned Judge strooglytobserved,
" It is my duty to give warning, by the sentence
pulsed span you, that an apparent rouse of pros-
perity, derived from crime, in reality leads to misery
sad disgrace." The splendid equipage—the feet-
trotting mare—the three establishments of the enter-

prising clerk at 1601. a year, have vanished like Cis-
Jerold, magnificence ; end the same of WILLIAM
ROBSON takes its plea Decide them of Sir JOHN
Dren PAUL and Gann, the French Railway Clerk.
The case in its legal aspect is pmeminently simple.
Ronson goes to Mr. 0.8. CLxhiar, astoekbroker, and
desires him to sell 100 'hares in the Crystal Palaces
Censpany. Accordingly 60 shares are sold to a Mr.
Lowe. The price. 2051., is handed through Mr. Cis•
MINT to the prisoner. The supposed shares by which
Mr. Lowe hopes to receive a dividend are transferred
to Mr. Lows by means of a deed of truster. That
deed alleges that one Huhu Joanson, In coast-
derides of a certain sum of money, transfers so
many Awes to JOSEPH Lows The transfer is
signed by the supposed RENZT JOHNSON, and
the signature is attested by Wanton James
ROB SON. Now JOHNSON never signed this
instrument at all. There is, indeed, a certain HENRY
JOHNSON who answers the description in the deed.
That Hums JOHNSON wee called u a witneee, and
although to was cross examined by the prisoner's
counsel, and although it was vehemently urged that
he must hive given the prisoner authority, still
JOHNSON persisted in denying that he ever gave the
prisoner any such authority. If farther proof were
actuary to establish the guilt of ROBSON it ap.
pears not only that the signature ROBSON WY in
the prisoner's handwriting, but that the signature of
Jonnson was also in his writing. The jury, after a
short consultation, brought in a verdict of guilty.
Tale ease of Ronson has all the worst elements of
guilt. He was moat confidential agent. His crime
showed great d►ring. The consequences of that
crime were fraught with ruin. It Is a general role
that the more simple in its details a crime is,
the win depraved is the culpuit and the more
terrible are the consequence,. Sir Joni DWI
PAUL goes to the boxes of those of hie customers who
have entrusted him with their keys, takes out their
securities, and pawns them for advances. PALIIIII,
admitted alone to the bedside of his friend, adminis-
ters his peisoned drugs as an esteemed medical friend.
ROBSON, by a stroke of his pen and a little dexterous
handwriting, obtains large sums of money foe a piece
of waste paper—and jeopardises the credit of a great
Company.
It is very eery to moralise upon caws of comm.,.
sit! fraud, but probably, like discourses upon other
subjects, such reflections will not be much heeded. It
is the opinion of some—and in that opinion we are
disposed to concur—that the pursuits of our time ex-
pose men to peculiar temptations. The possession of
vast wealth by men who have begun with nothing,
leads to the employment of that wealth in endeavour
hog to obtain influent:. Men and women buy a posi-
tion in society just as an officer buys a commission in
the army. Their regulation price consists of balk
dinners, let., private theatricals, and a fine stud.
It is not to be denied that the employment of these
means is et Mom unsuccessful, and persons in society
are very willing to open their doors to any of those
who cm thus purchase an admission. These ad-
vantages of wealth have irresistible charms to most
men, but most of all to the vulgar and the ambi-
tious. The anticipation of their enjoyment leads
many a man into crime. As in the days of old, when
might was right, wh en wealth was the reward of
pby.ical power, there were infinite temptations to
violence sod iojostioe. The abate of greatness than
was to diejoin gentleness and justice hoot power.
Kowa-days the danger is that men, seeing how the
world is absorbed in the pursuit of gain and is
governed by its pommies, may aspire to attain
wealth by immorality and swindling. The old
temptation to murder and rapine replaced by
thee temptation to cunning and theft. It indifilmalt
tr decide which is the greater evil. At all events
it is well to know our special danger. It is well
to warn those who hold as it won the bye of nasty,
not to make 'ho display of wealth and extrusgence
the test of Laces ia those who claim an entreace.
And until society grows wirer sad better tiro powerful
solve to crimes must be coanterseted by an equally
powerful motive to abstain from r —the certainty
that prompt and severe punishment waits on
detection.
