Eves the oldest members saw no inducement to visit the sub-
scription room in such weather, and on the " off day." too : con-
sequently there were scarcely a dozen present, sad speculation
was almost a dead letter. Tto 1 was offered ,on the field for
the Liverpool Steeple.naae, for which 20 to 1 was wanted about
Merrimac, and 500 to 16 about the Tunas gelding, the only
transaction on the Grand National being an investment of 60L

The frost continued with unabated severity during het night
and to-day, bat it was thought the powerful rays of the sun

not be held on account of the weather, but we trust such will not

THE LONDON MIESIONARY BOcirre AND THE
Orrionmax in Jairmci.—The directors of the London Mis-
sionary Society, in their Chronicle for March, have some
remarks upon recent events In Jamaica, mentioning the
memorial which they themselves presented to Furl Rus-
sell praying for an inquiry. They then proceed to say :
" The/ have been truly grieved to find the name of one
of their missionaries, associated with other ministers m-
ildest at Kingston, appended to as address to the late
governor, not merely of vindication and respect, bat also
of commendation and eulogy, while it prooornices strong
cesium upon the pnblie press of Britain and the great
body of Christian patriots who have sympathised with
the negro under his mitering" and wrongs, and employed
emostitutional measure" to obtain for him protection and
justice. We trust that our friend has been led into this
error by the 'Area; ant universal alarm, animistic( to a
perfect panic, which the inhabitants of Kingston evinced
on the cousins, and teat hereafter be may be found
united with the other agents of our society is the ex-
premien of a full, fair, and impartial verdict, applicable
not only to the rulers, magistrates, and platters of the
colony, brit also to the deeply injured and oppressed mel-
tudes of the coloured population. This is as it should be.
Mr. Gardner, by appending the words " London Missionary
Society" to his Duns in the addros to Governor Byre, com-
promised the society, sad unwarrantably lent its emotion
to sentiments of which its supporters very seriously die-
approve.—Parriot.
