THE IMPERIAL MEETING

AT STUT FGARDT.

STUTTGARDT,. SEPT 25.
The Emperor Lou'_s Napoleon arrived here this
afternoon at a quarter to 5, after having kept all
Stuttgardt on the tenter-hooks and tip-toes of
expectation for a full hour and a half. The French
Minister here, as well as Count de Montessuny,
the French Minister at Frankfort, together with
several of the Wurtemberg Ministers of State
and Adjutants of the King, went out this morn-
ing by railway to meet the Emperor at the
frontier 'ration of Bruchsal. During the fore-
noon, while all the world was talking and
thinking exclusively of the French Emperor, the
Russian Czar was driving about the town to pay
visits to his relations in a simple barouche and a

pair of horses, with his l ro'hei-in-law, the Prince
Alexander of Hesse, seated at his right hand, and
by this contrivance he passed everywhere unrecog-
nised by the people, which is the more feasible, as
at a little distance his round fur cap can hardly be
distinguished from the bearskin caps of the Wur
temberg fekljagers, The Emperor of Russia was

received yesterday as one of the family at an

insignificant railway station outside of the town,
without any guard of honour oor fuss of any sort
being made with him, the King'a private carriage
even being used on the occasion; but the Emperor
Louis Napoleon has been received to-day at the

terminus here in the town with all possible state
and ceremony. Not only was the main station
kept strictly reserved for the members of the 'Court,
but also the street leading from the station to the
Palace was lined with infantry and Lancers; this
latter regiment very singularly, however, displayed
at its head an Imperial eagle with the N, being a
atindard it took from troops under the coin--
mand of the uncle in 1814, and was now parade]
so juliciously before the eyes of. the nephew in
1857. An eye-witness of the interesting cere-
mony that took place at the terminus enables
me to inform your readers and future historians'of
the impor‘ant fact, that the Emperor Lodis Napo-
leon, on alighting from the railw?y carriage, twice
embraced the King of Wurtemberg, who was
waiting to receive him. This, doubtless, formed
part of the French programme of the ceremoniee,
but it certainly would not have been introduced of
his own accord by the King, who is .an extremely
cold, reserve], undemonstrative person. On thiE
oc3asion all the members of the Royal family were
present en grande tenue, with state carriage and .
servants in gold liveries, but, unfortunately, as the
carriages were not open, probably on account of
the scorching heat and the dust, the carriages and
the servants were all that the patient public git to
see after two hours' waiting.
The troops had hardly drawn off, after the cor-
tege of carriages c giveying the Emperor and his
suite to the Palace had passed by, when a feldjager
rode rapidly through the garden by the site of the
Palace, and had hardly time to clear a space threugh
the crowd when the Emperor of Russia drove up in
a carriage and pair with his brother-in-law, the
Prince of Hesse, and followed by a single adju-
-taut. My letter of yesterday has told you that
the two Emperors would dine to-lay with their
respective hosts seperately, and meet for the first
time this evening at the entertainment given by
• the Crown Prince, and it may be that this is true
still ; but if it be otherwise, and the Emperor of
Russia has come to dine with the King and his
Imperial guest, I should be disposed to believe,
from -the excellence of my authority for the
,former
version, that His Russian Majesty has unexpectedly
deviated from the arrangements that well-informed
members of the Court believed yesterday to be
still valid. It is possible also th it the visit is only
one of formal greeting and a mark of attention to
the French Emperor ; on . the other hand a more
surprising deviation from the intended programme,
which I have been enabled to already to an-
nounce to you by telegraph, consists in the
a*proaching arrival of the Empress of R4lB6iR,
which is now expected to take place to-morrow.
It is also a novelty in the arrangements, that it
should have been decided at length that the'Prince
of Prussia shall come hither to greet the Emperor
Louis Napoleon in the name of the K ng, his
brother, for it had hitherto been understood that
he would pay his respects to the French Emperor
in his character of Military Governor of the
Rhenish Provinces only, when the later should
touch upon Prussian territory on his return
homewards.

The reasons that were hitherto supposed to
have deterred the Empress of Russia born accom-
panying the Emperor hither, were stated generally
to he questions of etiuette, a phrase which says
nothing of itself, and leaves ,everything to be
guessed ; at any rate they were certainly
not political, and, with reference to her
husband's wishes and intetests not very
politic. She was assumed to have taken it
very much amiss _ that the Emperor Louis-
Napoleon 'should have decided to fix the meet.-
ing to take place at Stuttgardt, rather than at
the Court of her brother, the Grand Palm of
Reese, with whom she has Leen staying hitherto.
She was also supposed to object to meeting two
persons who make so little scruple of admitting
that they are parvenus, as the Emperor and
Empress •of the French do. Those still closer
initiated in the intimate gossip of the Grand-Ducal
Court of Hessen ascribed her unwillingness to
accompany the Emperor to other causes Which-
ever,,if any of them, may have been the correct
reason, her scruples have at length been overe.omv,
anti she will arive to-morrow. The Queen of the
Netherlands (daughter of the King of Wurtem-

berg by his first wife) with her- son, Prince
Alexander, Prince Augustus of Wurtemberg, who
has just received the command of the Third
Prussian Army Corps, and the Grand-Duchess
Helena, the 'sister of Prince Frederick, of Wur.

temberg, have arrived here, on a visit to this
Court, together with many smaller personages.
Prince Gartschakeff, who accompanied the Etnpe-
ror hither yesterday, has had apartments assigned -
him in the King's old Palace. Count Nesselrode
and Count Kisseleff have bee❑ obliged to put up
with ordinary hotel accommodation, for the Crown
Prince's villa at Berg, where the Emperor is
staying, is much too small to house any more than
those who belong to the immediate family circle.
In consequence of the Empress's approaching
arrival, as it is understood, the ball that was to
have been given to-night by the Minister of Fnrreige
Affairs in honour of the distinguished diplomates
now here, Gortschkoff, Nesselrode, Kisseleff and
Wales/Ski, has been put off till to-morrow. •
At eight o'clock this evening the King and his
Imperial guest drove out to the soiree given by the
Crown Pointe, in his villa at Berg, which was brit
iiantly illuminated on the outside in a manner well
fitted to show off to advantage the architectural
beauties of the building. The road winding up to it
in a-serpentine line around the mountain on which
it is situate,was lighted by a row of Chinese lanterns
along each side, and all along the tortuous wind-
ings of the road loading through the royal pall(
towards the Crown Prince's villa, there were cable-
like torches placed at intervals, and flaring an un-
certain lurid light from high iron Cressets on the
foliage of the trees, and the groups that surrounded
them. In the royal park it was pleasing enough
to see the brilliant equipages dashing along through
the constantly alternating darkness and light, and
then to distinguish their lamps winding up the
mountain at Berg, between the double row of
many-coloured lamps ; but the whole illumination
of the Crown Prince's villa was outshone and
eclipsed by a sheet of lights that was spread down
on (hie side of the mountain, where a garden for
public resort and amusement has lately been opened
in connexion with a very extensive bathing estab-
lishmentsupp!ied by a most plentiful mineral spring.
Here not only did the buildings of the establish-
ment form an extensive framework for the lights,
but every terrace cut along the face of the
declivity, and every path laid out over the side of
the mountain, was marked by rows of lights, every
grass plat was studded with artificial glow-worms,
and the clusters of trees were turned to account
as supports for festoons of lamps and Chinese
lanterns. With the addition of Bengal lights,
R 0113411 =dies, and rockets let off occasionally to

light ut, for an instant the surrouniing masses of
mountains looming in the distance, the scene was
highly effective at a distance, but a nearer inspec-
tion brought to view thousands of forms flitting
about the gardens that were neither forms of light
nor beauty, but very plain homely Wurtem
bergers, and moreover introduced the olfactories
to a mixed odour from the fat burning in the'
myriads of lamps, Wurtemberg..-tobacce, and
wretched beer, that was far from perfume. This
fearful consumption of tallow And fat in combustion
was got_up regardless of expense by the proprietor,
who is the Crown Prince's head gardener,
in honour of the meeting of so many crowned
h3ais at the elegant villa that overlooks the
establishment, and accordingly the front of the
building bore in brilliant transparency the
initials W A.N K —King William of Wurtemberg,
Emperors Alexander and Napoleon, and Crown
Prince Karl.
Yesterday evening the King and Queen of Wur-
temberg, with the Qae& of the Netherlands, occu-
pied a proscenium 13-,-,x at the performance of the
French company now here ; the Emperor Alexander
was present in the opposite box with the Crown
Prince and Princess. Here again the Emperor
Alexander fieur?d' only as a private guest related
to the Royal family ; the State loge in the middle of
the-first tier was not used, but will next Sunday
contain the whole party from both palaces, on
which occasion Balfe's opera' of the Bohemian Girl
iA to be played
~as a gala performance under
Kueken's direction'. After the play was over yes-
terday evening, the Emperor of Russia drove for
some time about the town iu an open carriage.
STUTTGARDT, SUNDAY, SEPT , 27

The Empress of lillS6dßilfi the Queen of Greece
arrived here last night. Prince Luitpold of
Bavaria is expected to day..
. The Prince of Prussia came to meet the Emperor
Napoleon in Baden.
The Emperors Alexander and Napoleon leave
Stuttgardt to-morrow eveni- g for Dirmsta It. and
very probably the latter will ftee-)lnpany the former
to Weiuvr, and there met the Emperor of Austria
and the King of Saxony.
STUTTGA.RDT, MONDAY, SEPT. 28
The Emperor and Empress of Russia departed
this day from Stuttgardt for Darmstadt.

INDIAN MUTINIES.

• (con%)
•
The following is from a young otficer in.the
Madras Fusiliers, stationed at Allahabad :
Allahabad, August 2,1857.

My dear --, I had hoped ere this to have been
able to send you a description of my first battle;
but, as luck will have it, here Lam 'leading a life of
luxurious indolence, whilst the gallant Fusiliers
are covering themselves with glory at Cawnpore.
It was my fa'e to be, sent out -here three or four
days ago, with a detachment of fifty men, to keep
the inhabitants of this sacred city in order, .for the
Mohnrrum; a grand festivaL of the Mahommedans,
has just commenced, and it is expected ,that now,
if ever, they will attempt to shake off Our yoke, and
murder the hated Feringhees. You may imagine
what arrant cowards they are, when fifty men are
sufficient to`lnep in check a population of nearly
80,000; it is true the fort is but.twir miles distant,
and on the, first alarm a force would be dispatched
to:our aid, but every man of us could be easily
disposed of before it could arrive. When I came
out here I was only second in command, but my
senior received orders to return to the fort to-day,
so that now "I am monarch of all T survey," and
by next mail you may hear of law having distin-
guished myself in that delectable species of warfare

•
—street fighting. -
We made a capture yesterday morning which
rather astonished the weak minds of the natives.
The authorities had received information that a
number of the principal actors in the late distur-
bances here were concealed in the vicinity, and we
received orders to hold ourselves in readiness at
daybreak to proceed to the place and make them
prisoners. Our measures were taken with such
secresy-that the natives were quitetff their guard,
and we succeeded in capturing half a dozen

" swells," and some sixty of their followers, without
firing a shot. Alter securing our prisoners, We
commenced a rogu!ar search for concealed papers
and arms. and I wish you had been there with me
to share the fun of diving into niggers' "sanctum
sanctorumr," an 1 bringing to light all sorts of odd
things I came across several precious stones and
a number of robes perfectly stiff with gold em-
broidery, but I dared not touch them. However,
I overcame my swuples so far as to carry off a copy
of the Koran, and a curious doulle-pointed tnlwar
with texts of the Koran inscribed on the blade',
with two or three other things, which, some *of
these days, perhapr, I may be able to send home to
you A fter thoroughly ransacking the pi r'ce,we sent
off the half-dozen "swells" under a sufficient escort
to the fort, there to await their doom—banging,
and tying the remaining sixty, at intervals to a
long rope, we drove them back to our quarters in
the city like so many cheep. Your quiet people at
home would be surprised at the summary way iu
which we string up the rascals ; but after the
atrocities they have heed guilty of, no quarter
ought to be shown them. My poor regiment has
suffered fearfully during the short time it has been
on service. We left Madras on the 1811 of May.
upwards. of 900 strong, and now, between disease
(ehietly cholera) and casualties in the field, we
muster barely 700. We have.also lost t-:vo nffi3ers
—one before,Cawnpore, anal the other in the sub-
sequent engagement in which one of our officers
was severely wounded, his lower j tw being carried
away by,a musket ball. Your revolver is my con-
stant companion now, and may yet serve me in
good stew', but I must confess I much prefer a
Colt's,—Your attached brother, * * *

I am sorry to say, was young Richatdson, a fine gallant
young officer of the Faghere, whom I had highly noticed
at Benares for his gallan ry ; and young Seton, of the 61
Bengal Native Infantry, was wounded ; he was hit in tha
lower jaw. He was an afle-decamp, and made so for his
gallantry. The same afternoon the force was again
engaged, and again defeated the rebels, taking all their
guns—making a total of 20 guns taken, all of which they
spiked, and completely gained the day. Notwithstanding
this, on the 31st General Havelock returned to the bank
of the river opposite Cawopose, where he sent to me for
further reinforcements—requiring a battery, two r 24-
poundere, and a thousand more European infantry.
I have just wri.ten to him that there is half a battery
coming on here to-day from Allahabad, which I send on at
once to him. I can also send him two iron guns, but
European infantry there is none to send him hero. If he
waits fir that he must wait reinforcements from Calcutta
and along delay, during which time Lucknow may share
the fate which befel Cawnpore. The rebels, flushed with
victory, will return on this, re-occupy Cawnpore, and
I have no troops to keep them out. I must be starved
out The influence, too, en Agra may be most disastrous,
but I hope General Havelock, who has been so successful,
will now advance again and relieve Lucknow, which is to
be abandoned, the force -there brought in here, and by
that time reinforcements will have arrived, ready to
accompany General Havelock to Agra and Delhi. The
European troops all wear linen blouses and caps; our
regiment (the Fusiliers) wear blue ones, wh;ch in the
native language is steel toppies; and the neel toppies are
pronounce' the terror of all, with their Enfield rifles.
They disperse cavalry 'beautifully. Two hundred of the
2nd Cavalry charged young Seton and twelve of our
Fusiliers ; they sent them flying wil empty saddles.
There is a repDrt just brought me that a Rajah has saved
some gentlemen, ladies, aad three children from the
Cawnpore massacre, that they are fif,y miles off, and that
he will send therm in to me. The next mail will take all
particulars. Each day may bring things to light, and my
next letter I hope may convey satisfactory intelligence.

SOCIETY FOR THE PROPOGATION OF THE
GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS.

ANNUAL MEETING, LAST NIGHT.

The annual meeting of the Society for the Propogation
of ihe G..wspel in Foreign Parts was held in the Collegiate
Institution, at half-past six o'clock, last night There was
a numerous attendance in the galleries and body of the
hall, and among the clergymen and other gentlemen on
the platform were tho Lord Bishop of Montreal, Rev. D. '
Cronin, Bishop Elect of London, Canada West. the
Venerable Archdeacon Jones, Rev. Rector Campbell, and
the Revs. Dr Taylor, Dr. Hume, W. Badnall, W. H
Fleming, W. White, T. Moeran, S. L. Ireland, S. W.
Warr, J. W. W. Welsh, J. Lomas' C W. Burton, T.
Payne, Lingard, Power, Moore, C Wray, W. H. Denny,
Wray, Hunt, Garrodi, W. Payne, J. North, B.:11,
Morean, Moore, Butler. Powell, Satchel], Banner, Crump,
King, T. D Anderson, H. Banner, Webster, Rounthwai e,
it W. Preston, H Glazebrook, and E Falloan, ENV.
The chair was taken, amid loud applause, by the Lord
Bishop of Chester.
The Secretary, the Rev. Mr. WAR; opened the proceed-
leg; with a prayer.
Lordship. the CHAIRMAN, then expressed his grati-
fication at meeting that asFemblage, and introduced the
miyobers of the deputation, the Right Rev. Dr.
Pafford, Bishop of Montreal; the Right Rev. Dr. Cronin,
Bishop ilect of London, Canada West, a newly founded
di )cese; the Rev. Mr. White, and the Rev. Mr. Badnall.
He observed that he thought they might promise them-
selves very interesting information as to missionary
labours in variona• parts of the world. H a right rev.
brethren from Canada would tell of what was going
forward in those provinces which had been CO
ling connected with the English crown by un-
broken ties of allegiance and fidelity, ties which
he hoped never would be broken, and which
he hoped their episcopal church would, through Christ, be
the means of drawing further and tighter than they were
before ; then again they should hear from other members of
the deputation, some accounts, he supposed of the progress
an 1 propec a of missionary work in Africa, that great
continent which had been hitherto and still was so imper

fectly explored, but which at the p event time had been
made known to them far better than it was before, by that
enterprising traveller and christian philanthropist, Dr.
Livingstone. (Cheers.) The accounts which Dr. Lisiog-
stone had given, and the actual epecimens which he
had brought to England of the natural productions
of Africa, showed plainly that providence, kind to all, had
scattered its bounties even there—had scattered the seeds
f plenty there ; a d that by the rela inns of commerce
end by the intercharge of mutual benefits, the vast con-
inent of Africa was capable of being brought into union
and harmony with the great family of the civilised nations
of the earth. To this they must look through a long vir.ta
of years, but still he thought they might humbly look, in
hope, forward to the time, however distant it might be,
*heu European cisilisation should have penetrated,
softened, and humanised Africa with its blessirg I, and
with that gr ates- of all blessitgs, the light, the truth, and
the salvation of the gespel of Jesus Cerise (Applause.)
His Lordship then said : And now I should very gladly,
for I know by experience how the time cf the meeting
passes away, sit down at once, and leave the rest of the
time to those speakers who have come here with the express
purpose of addressing you; but before I sit down, my
iriends, I wish to add a few words about the sad events
wh ch have occurred recently in another quarter of the
world—events which have filled all hearts wile grief and
wide indignaticn, and which, also, for the time, have cast
a gloomy shade over ore vast field of missionary lebaurs.
I need scarcely state that I am referring to the perfidious
mutiny, and the atrocoue cruelties which have so lately
occurred in India. My friends, it is right for us,
it is the first thing we ouglr to do, to humble
ourselves before Almighty G id, individually and naion-
ally, under the sad and unexpected visitation—and we are
about to do so But let me say, that in humble
di pendence upoe God's blessing, it is also right that we
shoul,l rouse ourselves, and nerve ou-selvea to meet the
crisis. A noble spirit has been shown already in yo sr own
town. Wren was Liverpool ever wanting in public spirit,
or in patriotic spirit ? A noble spirit has been shown
now, in the contributions which have been so prompt'y
and so large'y made for the relief of the unfortunate sure
ferers. I understand that, al e .dy. the contributions
amount to £l2 000 - and, I have no doubt, that they will
reach a muele higher sum. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
A noble spirit has been shown here ; and let
me say that a ncble spirit has been shown in India, also,
by our little handfuls of brave soldiers, who when bravely
led, have either held at bay or scattered in flight she
dastard rebels, although tenfold and one hundredfold
superior in numbers to themselves. (Applause.) I hope
that long ere th's, bat at least ere this, reinforcements
have reached the little bands, which will enable them to
carry on the contest on mere even terms, a d I think God's
blessing wilt bring it to a triumphant close. (Cheers.)
God g ant that our soldiers may be victorious, and may
He a eo grant that they may use that victory with mode-
ration and with mercy. (Lend cheers.) My friends, I
have no wish to speak with any effeminate softness about
crimes which have made every manly heart burn with in-
dignant resentment. No doubt, when the hour of victory
comes, there will be a severe retribution exacted for the
crimes which have been committel. Only 1-t us hope
and pray that it may not be more than a righteous retribu-
tion—that it may be the firm stroke of justice vindicating
the outraged rights of humanity, rather than any barbarous
reta'iation of sanguinary revenge. (Hear, hear.) God
grant the victory to our soldiers, and grant also that that
victory may nos be tarnished by any barbarity, any cruelty,
any in'ant's blood, or woman's dishonour. (Hear, hear.)
I trust and hope that, through God's blessing on the right-
ful cause, the mutiny will be crushed. I trust that our
power will be re eatablished in India upon a more firm
.and solid basis than ever it was before. I trust that it will
be the happy privilege of England to civilize India—to
christianize India. I say to christianize India. No real
policy can ever forbid such efforts as this society is making
—as the Church Missionary Society is making, for the
propagation of the Go pel in India. (Hear, hear.) No
reel policy can ever require the discontinuance, the aban-
donment, of these efforts. God forbid. What real policy
requires is only this, that we shall not seek to make con-
verts by force, by compulsion, by the pressure of official
authority or cons mine (Hear, hear) If this is the
language of policy, it is also the Language and spirit of the
G isper of J sus Christ itself. Its great commission is to
make disciples of all nations, not by force—that would be
to make, re( t believers, but hypocrites. Its commission is
to make disciples, not by 'force but by persuasion, by
conviction, by example, by the Word of God preached to
their ears through tne voices of the missionaries, and
carried home to their hearts by the grace of the Holy

Spirit—that is the Gospel rule—let 'it be the rule of
policy also. (Hear, hear.) When it shall be the pleasure
of Gud that peace and order are again restored to
India, common, sense, common prudence would require
this of ua—that we should not offer violence, that
we should not of insult to the opinions of the
native population, but it would not require us to
discontieLe the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Sri 1, let the missionaries preach the Gospel there
to those who are willing to hear. Still let missionaries be
sent forth from England more than they have ever been
before and I am coLfi lent that more and more will be
ready to go in the face of all the dangers, and all tee.
horrors there. (Hear, hear.) Let them be sent .ey to
pr. ach there the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in the
spirit of peace and charity, and let those of our country-
men who really wish to aid the cause, aid it in
that way which is for them the most effectual and
the best, by setting be ore the natives in their own
conduct an example of a Christian life Let us
look forward with hope that when plea is restored,
the voice of the Gospel will be heard more widely
than ever it was before. Let it be the aim of us all to
do wha ever is done in the spirit of gentleness and peace.
Against that no policy can protest. That is the direction
and the spirit of the Gospel of our Lord Jcsue Christ, and
that is the mode of propagating the Gospel, which we may
humbly live that G d will blet,s and prosper. (Hear, and
applause.) His lordship then elcvently exhorted the
m‘eing to assist, by every means at their command. the
objects of the society, in the spirit he had pointed oat, and
couclu led amid renewed applause.
Oa the conclusion of his lordship's address,
The Vematab!e Archdeacon JONES rose, and, with the
permission of the Right Rev. Chairman, read the tele-
graphic news from India, which had not long been
received in Liverp 01. He was listened to with painful
interest.
Tue Rev. Mr. Fneai NO, organising secretary for the
dioceses or Manchester and Chester, moved the first reso-
lution, which was to the effect that the meeting desired
devoutly to give glory to God for that measure of mercies
with which it had pleased Him to bless 'he late labours of
the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign
' Parts. He observed that those mercies were many, and
that they were shown in the increasing number of their
missiona. ies, in the enlarged sphere of their labours, and
in the increasing support and sympathy which the society
was receiving at home. lie made a passing allusion to
the events which are now occurring in India, and
expressed a hope that the ground which was
now being sown with the blood of martyrs, as well as
with the blood of English soldiers would raise up that
glorious monument which was ever to be raised flora such
, a seed-bed—the increase and growth of that everlastieg
tree el life, and the spread of the knowledge of the un
searchable riches of Christ, which alone are to be foand in
• the ckspels. proof of the advance of the society, he

mentioned that in America, since the establishment of th
sc c'ety, the number of clergy had increased from 200 to
1800; in Africa, within 37 years they had increased from
15 to 3 bishops and 90 clergy; in India, from 1 bisbop to
3 bishops and 60 clergy ; and a proportionate increase had
taken place in Australia, Borneo, New Zeal nd, Mauritius,
and Ceylon, besides initiating missionary labours in Vancou-
ver's Island and otherquartere. Moreover, the income of the
soeieiy last year amounted to £101,470, and in this year,
up to the present time, its receipts were more by i 3,66
than in the corresponding reriod cf the previous year. In
conclusion, the rev gentleman briefly detailed the ex-
periences of missionary labours which he had acquired at
the Cape, while acting there as military chaplain in 1849
and subsf quent years.
The Bight Rev Dr. FULTORD, Bishop of Montreal,
seconded the motion By the resOution, he said, they
acknowledged their thankfulness to God for the mercies
which he had vouchsafed to them, but the expression of
that thankfulness wes not all that was required
f them—they were bound to show it by their
futut e c snd ace. This was an age of great
luxury in every department of life, an 1 how might all of
them, by denying themselves some of those luxu res—come
expensive article of d. ess or livinn—promote the glory of
God, a m
ud be doing rood to their souls, by ieroving
themselves in that self-denial whish alone could make
their charity sup has it ought to he. His lordship the'
briefly traced the history of the church in Canada, and
showed that its position in Montreal, which was the seat
of Canadian Roman Catholicism, was 0113 weended with
many diffi u'ties. Nevertheless, in the large church of
Montreal last year the; collected £2 651, and in the next
trgest church £1,763, and if they still sought fur some
assistance from their brethren in England, it was not
because his people were niggardly themeelyrs. (Hear,
hear.) He had served in many churches in Englund, in
rich rural parishes, in a mtucfacturing town, and in an
opulent London cEstrica and he was bold to say he had
never met any coegregation who were more ready and
willing, according to their mcars, to give cut of their
substance for works of piety and charity than his people
in Montreal. (lleer, hear.) While Canada was flourishing
as a whole, the members of the church in Montreal were a
snail baud struggling through the difficuLies that snr-
roended th,m, and receiving wi'h t ankfulness, and looking
with ccnti'lence ti their brethrm in Engler' 1 to help them
yet a little while. Before they could dispense with that
help. it was necessary that they sh ould have two things—
a Collegiate Institution capable of training up and set ding
forth native clergy, and also a strong garrison of mis-
sionaries. The first they already had in a sense-
ehat infant state, but the other they had still to
collect, and they should therefore yet look to this
coun ry for assistance. Er gland was great in
her gore nmenr, great in her aristocracy, great
in her people, bet ab:ve all, great in her merchants and
her commerce. It was only by the expansive power of her
great mercantile interest, that she could keep up with the
progress of the people rid the world around her, and
where, so much as at Liverpool, were they to look for the
exemplification of that weer, powsr ? (Hear, hear) He
believed that a Society sech as this, which had done so
much—which had founded so many churches, and given
them a permanence and stalnlis y—deserved t m support of
the churchmen of Liverpool, and that it would find it.
(Applause.)
The rssolution was adophed, after which a collection was
made, while Bishop lleber's magnificent hymn was being
sung.

The Right Rev. Dr. Caoxisr, Bishop Eicct of London,
West Canada, proposed the second resolution, which
entorced the necessity of increased missionary exertions
He referred to the Indian muiny, and said that God
never allowed such visitations to fatl upon any country
but for some good purpose If they then regarded those
sufferings as chastening; at the hand of God, it became
them to inquire for what had they been chastised—for
what had they as a nation—fur what had they as
a church, for what had they as a people, been chastised thus
grievously in India? (Hear, hear.) He thought the
question was one which demanded the clearest and finest
investigation, and that the question should be approached
by them in the most prayerful spirit. (Hee-, hear) He
thought there were some pr.-minent causes, which could
easily be assigned upou which they could lay their finger
at once, as bringing down in part, if not altcgather, that
chastening upon the people and the church in India. He
would mention, first the condi:tat of the country as a
nation to India. Had Engisni, as a nation, perf firmed her
Christian du y toward; India? Had England, as a nation,
upheld the butter cf Christ in India? Hai England, as
a nation, done all that in her lay to promote the know-
ledge cf the Gospel among the heathen troops of India ?
Most assuredly, England had not done so as a nation.
(Hear, hear.) Most assuredly, on the contrary,
England had been unfaithful to her duty in
that respect. Most assuredly, the government of
India had impeded as mush as in its power lay the progress
of the Gospel among the people ; and the very men from
whom the evil was now coming —the very troops who had
mutinied, had been protected by the Government. It was
a false protection, and a wrong use of the expression, but
it had been employed. Ttey had been protected by the
Government from the efforts of the missionaries to spread
Christianity among them. (Hear, hear.) Wae not that a
cry ing evd ? Was not that a sin which they should con-
sider as one deserving of punishment? Let them not,
however, heap all the blame upon the Government.
Let them not seek to shelter themselves under
that cause, and say that that was the only reason of
their chastity ; had they by their christian conduct and
christian graces shown that their religion was a better
system than the dep•aved systems around them ? They had
not, it was to be feared (Hear, hear) Xtheugh efforts
had been mad° by missionaries, and by godly men as
individuals, yet the mass of our people Caere had fo gotten
God, and had not honored God in India. (Hear, hear.)
Was not that to be regarded as a rause of the chas-
tisement which had come upon the land ? He believed
they might trace the evils which had taken place there
lately, the horrors at which the blooil ran cold, to these
causes c )njointly—the unchristian conduct of the Governs
ment in ignoring christianity in India, and setkirg to
retard its progress ; and immorallty, the vice, and the
un-Christian practice of many of cur people there.
(Hear, hear) Let them view those things honestly
and in the light of truth. (Hear, hear.) Let them speak
plainly concerning 'hose events, and, humbling themselves
in the very dust before God, let them entreat his mercy
and say that they had all, government, church, and people.
grieviously sinned (Hear, hear ) In conclusion, his
Lordship gave an inter. sting ace unt of the cor dltion of
the church in Canada, and particularly in his own diocese.
The Rev. Mr. Wnere seconded the resolution in an
address in so hich he gave an interesting account of the
condition of society in British Caffearia, and the progress
of Gospel labours there.
The resolution was carried by ac lamation.
The proceedings then eosed with a vote of thanks to
the Bishop of Chestee, which was moved by the Rev.
Rector CA NI PREM. and seconded by the Rev. W F. TAYLOR.
