Elder HTDO 000 of the Reading district, In • brief speech
seeinfully alluded to the stteropis now being made to put
the Mormon imposture down, and took the liberty of saying
that all such efforts would be unveiling. He said, if people
wanted to know the true character of Joseph Smith, they
ought to go to the Mennonites to make the inquiry, end not
to their sermon." Brother Hyde" was frequently inter-
rupted by the youngsters, two or three of whom were so
lively that they had to be removed from the apartment.

elders, or right reverend spostk.s, or whatever their ecciesi-
mental titles may be, favours' the company with a song. He
wee followed by Elder Snow, who recited • story about "the
Gambler's wife." The bleating of God was frequently asked
upon these extraordinary proceedings, and asked with • flip-
pancy and insverenos very shocking to a well-regulated
mind. Another of the elders sang a song, styled " Secta-
rian Nominee," one verse of which ridiculed the absurdity
of a man when he is ill going to a doctor se the gentiles (i.e.,
mil who are not Mormons) do, instead of going to an elder of
the church to he healed.
One af the Yankee Elders, fresh from the Salt Lake
Valley, add he " felt feet rate." He could fetch in firing,
if they motet it ; and he cmlenlated he was always "to
bend when anybody was wanted to move the fixing, to hunt
up the last slamp, or to drive the oxen. When anything of
this kind was to- be done, he wee always to hand, to do the
best he weld ; but he wasn't much of a hand at discouning.

A Mr. Hs murex e, who wee one of the very few_ English-
men amongst these Mormon prophets' next addrdned the
meting, but the donkey again interrupted, and the animal's
inertions were ably seconded by several of the young-
sters, some of whom 'were eventually removed. Mr. Har-
rison said that Mormonism and its professors were
not to be judged by existing standards ; for they
were fee above and beyond them. It had been mid

agessiler, and groans of " Amen !") The polygamy of the
Mormons was • system which °patrolled the lusts and pas-
sions of mankind, and reduced the marital duties to some
kind of system. Mormonism did not glow men and women
to rush into matrimony sa dictated by their passions, and
without any guiding principle. Mormonism came to them
with principles adapted to every condition of a man's life ;
it entered into the privacy of the chamber, and controlled
every action. It taught men to set as Ood would have them

study the writings of those polygamists in his youth, and
to pray over them ; he had so and he found that eel of
polygasolets so good that be thought he would try the other
lot (the Mormons). (This come jest was received with
laughter.)

Another Ecnritithen indulged in a "little harmony" about
" Sleepy Parsons; " the chorus to which was—

" Heigho! you sleepy persona I
Ha! ha! ha: hal what • lark I
After all your college learning
Yon trill find yews in the dark."
The very reverend elder give this song with much vigour to
the air of a well•known nigger melody, 'Oh Susannah, don't
you ay for me," and be added to the effect by vigorous slaps
of his hands upon his thighs, after the fashion of the Ethio-
pian marauders. The effort wee very muck relished by the
sedans*, who loudly applauded.
Meter PRARCR and several other sisters subsequently sang.
An Emma, with a strong Yankee brogue, advised the
eaters to sell of all their ornaments, which took them eo long
eery day to dust, and to put the money into the emigration
to enable there to " gather out of Babylon"—se., to
leave this oountry for Utah.
The Apostle ORSON Parr then gave the Sisters" some
advice on the subject of marriage. He said that marriage,
U celebrated by the Mormon Church, which alone had full
authority, extended not only till death, but throughout
eternity. He urged them not to marry men not Mormons,
or else when they awoke in the Day of Judgment they would

ble eventuality, and propounded the doctrine that a propaga-
tion of spirits would go on in • future world, just as the pro-
pegation of our species goes on in this.
EzetA BENSON, another Apostle from the Salt Lake
Valley, addressed the audience in his shirt sleeves. His
speech was full of Yankee humour, rather coarse, but it told
well with the sante. He said he felt " rust rate." He re-
ferred to the subject of marriage, and to his own wives and
children whom he had left in Utah, and said he believed that
all his wives would not apoetatise, and that therefore he
would not be likely to undergo the misery of remaining single
in Heaven. He described Brigham Young as the beet and
holiest man in the world, and said he did not wonder at the
sisters falling in love with him. Every good man, he said,
ought to have more than one wife. He said he would advise
the editors who abused them to consult their works, and
would and everything "so right as taunt" He indulged
in a variety of joke. of the same clue.
The proceedings terminated shortly after ten o'clock.

MR. SPURGEON.—A public meeting was held in
New Park-emu Chapel on Monday evening for the purpose
of promoting the building of a large tabernacle for Mr.
Spurgeon. Mr. Spurgeon made a statement to the meeting
of the success which had attended the efforts of the pro-
moters of the scheme, and the position in which matters at
present stood. In doing so he alluded to the 'cervices held in
the Surrey Hall in connexion with his congregation, which
were got up with the view of obtaining funds for the en-
largement of the building in which they were then marten-
bled, and which were eminently soccesesful. Never man
had more mole to bless Ond than he had when he looked
back to the numbers which those eerrices had been the
means of winning over to the Gospel, and it was also gra-
tifying to see that, though derided and scooted by many at
the time, the archbishop and bishop of the church of Eng-
land were now following the example then set. and be hoped
with equal medusa. He would not pain their feelings by
alluding to the untoward circumstances attending their Ant
meeting at the Surrey Mneic Hall. It wee • palatal pee-
led* to • most moint remelt, end Satan ewer met with
a greater failure than he did in that attempt at coercion.

place on that occasion, so many thousands would hare sever

wee the roes m at causing their meeting there to be known
among the Idghset of the land ; and, although be considered
it but of little consennenoe, many of these had since attended
their services and beard the Gospel in its simplicity. Re-
ferring to the mast of a large building, Mr. Spurgeon said

with Sir S. M. Pero, who promised him 1001. donation when
the foundation done of sue h a building was laid, and another

imams. He also told him that he would cause Merged to

committee ; but as he understood Sir M. Psto had been In
