.A FACT FOR PHYSIOLOGISTS !—lt is a
singular fact that in this enlightened age and country the
treatment usually adopted by the Faculty, in cases of Dyspepsia (in-
dizestion), Is the result of a false theory, indicating a lamentable
ignorance of the Physiology of the Stomac and Dgestive Organs ;
and is in most instances calculated to establish andi confirm the ma-
lady it is intended to remove.

pleasure in forwarding (free) to all applicants the excellent Botanic

e essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful cen-
se, uences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
1 (kith have Produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Mon-
ctl A, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
er class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
tier physical condition, and who are COIIS,TiOUS of having hazarded
the tee Ith, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It le absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
t incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue-
t( ed the heyday of incoestderate relffindulgence, how those penalties
n ay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
at d how the evil and its consequencesmay be avoided, and, above all,
11 at there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

AUDACIOUS ROBBERY BY A POLICEMAN AT SHIELDS.
—Oa Saturday morning one of the recently appointed
police officers of North Shields was apprehended by the
superintendent and lodged in one of the cells, on a charge
of havine committed an audacious street robbery. His
name is Robert Brown, and he came into the force about
two weeks ago with a very excellent character. It
seems that a seaman named William Hoskins had been
locked out of the Sailors' Home, and had fallen in with
the °Zion Brown. Brown had taken him to the Night
and Day public-house, but the landlord could not give
him quarters, and the sailor had subsequently turned on
to the New Qoay, where he 'fell asleep. He had been
awoke during the night by feeling some one taking the
handkerchief off hie neck, and then discovered that the
officer Brown was robbing him ; and some Hale time
afterwards, upon coming to his senses, for he had been
tipsy, ho found that his pockets had been rifled by the
policeman of his purse and 'money, a ring, and several
ether articles of property. As soon as the superinten-
dent heard of the robbery, as we hare said, he appre-
hended Brown, who has admitted his guilt to him. As
Brown hoe been very attentive-to drunken men since he
came into the force, and had got the name of "an active
officer" in that respect, it is not improbable that be may
have eased some others of their superfluous cash who
have been found in a similar predicament to the sailor.
Tee magistrates have remanded him.
GOVERNMENT PROTECTION TO EMIGRANTS FOR
CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.--AS soon as ee
emigrant ship reaches the emigiant station in the St.
Lawrence, at Grosse Isle, a few miles below Quebec, she
is boarded by the Government Medical Officer. If there
are any sick on board they are landed and remain at the
hospital, at the expense of the Government, until they
are cured. Isamediately on the ship's arrival at Quebec,
Mr. Buchanan, the Government Emigration Agent, goes
on board. He inquires into all complaints, and sees that
all the conditions of the Act of Parliament for protect.
ing emigrants have been strictly complied with. This
he is able to do in a most effective manner, as, when-
ever an emigrant ship leaves the British port for Quebec,
the Government Emigration Officer port at the forwards
to him, by mail steamer, a list of every passenger, with
their names, ages, sex, trade, &c. This list is always
received by Mr. Buchanan a fortnight before the ship's
arrival. He thus possesses every particular that may
be useful to him in protecting the emigrants, and direct-
ing them to where they can at once get suitable employ-
ment. If there be any just cause of complaint against
the captain of a ship, justice is afforded by a summary
law passed for the purpose, and Mr. Buchanan hinisel
superintends the prosecution. The Government of
Canada has issued a pamphlet upon the resources of the
country and the prospects in store for the industrious
of all classes who desire to make it the land of their
adoption. This pamphlet, as well as full particulars of
the through-booking system, by which emigrants are
protected from the time of their landing until they
reach their destination, together with maps of the
Canadian Railways, showing their connection with
those of the United States, continue to be iened
gratuitously to all who apply for them, personally or
t y letter, at the offices of the Grand Trunk Railway
of Canada, 21, Old Broad-street, London, E.C.

We briefly recorded in our columns yesterday the
mournful intelligence of the deathof the- Earl Fitz-
william, at Wentworth-house, near Rotherham,
Yorkshire, between 9 and 10 O'clock on Sunday
morning, The sad event following so soon after the
sudden decease of the infant child of Viscount and
Viscountess Milton, has plunged the family into
de,p affiction. The lamented earl, by the accounts
received on Saturday, was reported to be going on
favourably, and it was fully
.anticipated that he
would ultimately recover, but a relapse took plaCe
at an early hour on Sunday morning, under which
he rapidly sank. V's ount and Visco.untess
the Ladies Charlotte and Dorothy Wentworth-Fitz-
william,. Hon. G. W. .Fitzwilliatn, M.P., and the
Hon. Chas. W. W. Fitzwilliam, Mr. and Laly
Mary Thomp: on, Mr. and Lady A. Vernon, and
other rt-latives were at Wentworth, and were pre-
sent at his dissolution.
The decess2d Chas. Wm. Wentworth-Fitzwilliam,
Earl Fitzwilliam, Norborough, county Northamp-
ton Viscount Milton. and Lord Fitzwilliam, Baron
of Milton, c linty Northampton, in the peerage of
Great Britain ; also Earl Fitzwilliam, county Ty-
ron-, Baron Milton, county Westmeath, and Baron
Fitzwilliam of Liff)rd., county Donegal, in the
peerage of Ireland, wai only isaue of William, 4th
Earl, by his marriage with Lady Charlotte Ponson-
by, second daughter of William, second Earl of
Bessborough. He was born 4th May, 1786, and
married Bth July, 1806, the Hon. Mary Dundas,
fourth daughter of Thomas, first Lord Dundas. By
his marriage with that amiable and charitable lady,
who died in Nov., 1830, he leaves surviving issue
three sons and six dau litters.

The late earl, like-his venerable father, was a
stanch Whig in p,diticP, and consistently supported
all the measures of his party. So,ut after he had at-
tained his majority, 1407, he became a.caudl,
date for' tlglepreseMation of Yorkshire, in the
House of Commons, t'le county only returning two
members to that branch of-the Legislature ; for it
was not untill 1821, when the borough of Gram-
pound, in Cornwall, was disfranchised for " bribery
and corruption" of the most flagrant nature, that
Yorkshi e had the privilege of sending fuur mem-
bers to Parliament. It was one of the most memo-
rable struggles on record, and certainly the most
expensive contest that ever distinguished the annals
of electioneering. Viscount Milton was supported
by the Whigs ; Mr. Lascelles (afterwards Earl of
Flare wood and grandfather of the present peer) by 1
the Tories ; and Mr. Wilberforce (father of the
now Bishop of Oxford) by the Dissenters and inde-
pendent interest. The contest was carried on with
doubtful success by the two party candidates for 15
dap, but Mr. Wilbei force was at the head of the
pol during the whole of the time. On the 15th
day the election terminated in favour of Mr. Wil-
berforce and Viscount Milton, the numbers at the
close of the poll being : • -

Mr. ber fore 3
Viacount Milton
Hon. Henry Lasceibe 10,993
The contest is said to have cost the three candidates
near half a million of money, the greater part being
expended by the two aristocratic parties—Mr. Wil-
berforce's expenses being mainly defrayed by pub-
lic subscription: The vast sums expended by the
Fitzwilliam and Lascelles families iu that remark
able contest 'were the means of cooling 'their party
ardour fcr some years afterwards. As Viscount
Milton he for many for many years—from 1807 to
o ICt r
1830—represeuted that county in Parliament. In
1831. rt

) returnedilre,
iuujul t the House
of
w with Viscount
Althorp N.
Althorp (the late Earl Spencer) ; and at the next
general election in the following year was returned
for the northern division of that county, with Lord
Brudenell (now E irl of Cardigan), at the head of
the poll, against Mr. Hanbury (late Lord Bate-
man) and Mr. Tryon ; but the following year he
succeeded his father iu the earldom, and conse-
queatly removed to the House of Peers. In the
latter assembly he supported the free-trade mea-
sures of the late Sir R. Ptel, and gave his indepen-
dent support to the Earl ..of Aberdeen and Lord
Palmerstm's Administration.
14 1851 he was made a Knight of the Order of the
Garter. He was a Fellow of the Reyal Society(1811),
a F.S. A. , and a F.G. S., and a D.O.L. He was in
1853 appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of North-
amptonshire, and was the patron of 26 livings.
The deceased peer is succeeded in the hereditary
honours and extensive patrimonial estates by his
eldest son, William Thomas Spencer Viscount Mil-
ton (now Earl), born 12th Oat, 1812, and married.
10th Sept.,lB3B, to Lady Frances Harriet Douglas,
eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Mor-
ton, by whom he has a youthful family. He was
returned to the House of CoMmons in 1837 for Mal-
tun, and at the general election iu 1841 he uesuc-
ceosfully contested the West Riding of Yorkshire.
In April, 1846, he was ag lin elected representative
in Parliament for Melton, fir which borough he sat
to July, 1847. when he was elected for the county
Wicklow, which county he has since represented in
the House of Commons. His lordship is the Lieut.-
Colonel of the West York Yeomanry Cavalry.
The Fitzwilliam family is one of the most an-
cient of the aristocracy, the ancestor of that noble
house having been ambassador of William I. when
Duke of Normandy, and accompanied him to Eng-
land at the Conquest in 1066. It was once very
numerous, 11 branches having subscribed their
names to a pedigree made out in 1565. They were
lords of Burley and Sprotborough, in Yorkshire.
Sir Wm. Fitzwilliam, Lord of Elmley and Sprot-
borough in 1117, was ancestor to S r J. Fitzwilliam,
1353, who, by Elizabeth, daughter of Lord Clinton,
had several sone. E'lmund 3d son, was great
grandfather of Sir T. Fitzwilliam, of Aldwark, who
by Lucy, daughter and co heir of .T. Nevile, Mar-
quis Montacute, had a third son, William, who was
Vice-Admiral of the Fleer, and Treasurer of the
Household, and created Earl of 'Southampton in
1537, dying without. issue in 1543. Sir W. Fitz-
william, eldest brother of Edmund, was father of
Sir John, who had six sous. J. Fitzwilliam, sixth
s .n, was of Milton and Green's Norton, in North-
amptonshire, and was father of Sir W. Fitzwilliam
of Milton, who was an alderman of London and
sheriff in 1506, sheriff of Essexfn 1514, and North-
amptonshire in 1521. He had been educated under
Cardinal Wolsey, amassed a large fortune, and
died in 1534. His grandson, Sir W. Fitzwilliam
of Milton, horn 1526, was in 1559 appointed Vice-
Treasurer and Treasurer-at-War in Ireland, and
finally, in 1588, Lord Deputy of Ireland. Sir J.
Davies says, " He was very serviceable in the ri-
d action of Ireland—first, in raising a composition
in Munster ; afterwards, in settling the possessions
of the lords and tenants in Monahan, one of the
last acts of Stat', tending to the reformation of the
civil Government, performed in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. HS vigilance was very conspicuous in
the memorable year of the Spanish invasion, when
the routed Armada, in its return, dared not to land
in Ireland, except against their wills, driven by
tempest, when they found the shoreworse than the
sE ato them." He died in 1599. His son, Sir Wil-
liam of Milton, died in 1618, leaving William, who
was, in 1620, ci cited Lord Fitzwilliam of Lifford
in the county Donegal, in Ireland. He died in
1644. His son William, the second lord, dying in
1658, his son Will am, third lord, was further ad-
vanciazl, in 1716, by being created Viscount Milton
and Earl Fitzwilliam of Tyrone, in Ireland. His
son John, second earl,'succ( °fed his father in 1719,
and only enjoyed the family honours a few years,
having died in 1728. William, his eon, then became
third earl, who, in 1742, was created an English peer
by the title of Baron Fitzwilliam of Milton, in the
county af Northamptonshire, and in 1746 created
Viscount Milton and Earl Fitzwilliam, of Nor-
b; rough in Northamptonshire. He died in was 1756,
and succeeded by his son William, father of
the late peer, the subject of this brief memoir. He
war a man of considerable political influence, and
in addition to the broad lands he possessed in this
country and Ireland, succeeded to the extensive
estates of his uncle, the last Marquis of Rocking-
ham. He held several high appointments in the
State, and was in 1795 made Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland. The earl made no pretensions to corn-
uaandiug talents or powerful eloquence, but he
nevertheless bad great political weight with his
friends the Duke of Portland, Lord Spencer, Chas.
Fox, and other political celebrities of the period.
His lordship inherited the family honours and
e,tatcs at the early age of nine years, possessed the
earldom for 77 years, and ult mately became the
faiher of the peerage, dying in February, 1833.

The folloWing is written by an officer who went
out in the ill-fated Transit :
"Island of Btuca 220 mile 3 from Singapore,
Sunday, July 12.
"Long before this reaches you the telex aph will
have informed you of the total wreck of her Ma-
jesty's ship Transit, on which I was a passenger.
" The casualty took place at half-pask 9 a.m.,;on
the 10th ; she struck on a sunken rock two miles
from a reef, a portion of which is discernible at low
water, and eight miles froth the m 'inland ; the sea
was like a mirror at the time. The commander,
Captain Chambers, and the waster, were on the

_ -
bridge ; the ship was steaming slowly, about four
-knots, and the leadsman had just called out n;na
fathoms. We had not'at first any just conception
of the extent of the danger, but hoped, that by
throwing all the guns overboard we could pofisibly
get her off. About 5 minutes elapsed, and I was
proceeding along the troop deck to visit some sick
men and officers, when I saw the water rushing with
great violence along the floor of the engine-room,
and in about another minute the fires were extin-
guished.. I ran forward and -ordered all the sick
men out of the forecastle, that they might be at
hand in case things turned out badly. On my
reaching the poop it was evident that she was
settling down on her stern, leaning a little to the
starboard ;' and, though the s ddiers worked like.
lions at the pumps, the water rose to the troop
-deck and rushed into the saloln and cabins.
Meanwhile efforts wera being made to secure some
biscuits, pork, and rnm, whiehvo era passed on to
the forecastle, as it was evident the ship should be
abatidoned.

" While the soldiers were thus occupied under
the direction of their officers. the ship's crew .wete
gett4iqg,s4,.their boats, and in about two hours
they were an tiwere4. It took this lon4ill of tune
to effoct this, as the heavy boats wore midships and

the Transit was fearfully undermanned.
" The first boat lowered was despatched with the
second lieutenant to Aminto, a Dutch settlement
16 miles off, to solicit assistance and a despatA
boat to proceed to Singa'pora for a vessel to take us
from this.

"The remainder of the bo9.ts were now ready.
The first embarked were the sick, a company of the
90th, and a company of the 59th, and they were
landed on the reef. They had to be landed there,
as if they proceeded to the island those on the ship
would, in all likelihood, have sunk before the re-
turn of the boats. These were four times filled
before all on the ship were in safety. The ship's
crew, who, were the last to leave, went at once to
the island, and the boats then made three trips to
the raef for those of us who were on it. It wa'i
dark before all were landed. This was not attained

too soon, as the rock on which we stood gradually
became covered by th,t rising tide, and was totally
hid from, sight before the last of us bad reached
the land.

" Except the clothes in which we s'oud, every-
thing was lost, except the firelocks of the sokliers,
which they carried with them. It was impossible
to save the knapsacks.
" Thirty tons of powder, all the sh :t and shells
and small arm ammunition, all the st ores, the medi•
cal comforts, commissariat tents and baggage, in

fact, everything has been lost. The vessel, ho w-
ever, has not yet sunk, though under water from
the funnel sternmost, and split iu half loth on the
port and starboard. The rock on which she split
holds her securely until a gale of wind shall scatter
her to pieces.
" You will, as an old soldier,l” glad to hear that
nothing could have been more truly heroic than the
conduct of the men ; it was splendid, and worthy
of antiquity, or shall I say of the Brit,sh soldier ?
When first the crash came all the men on the troop-
deck made a rush to the gangway, but Major Burn-
ston, 90th, ordered every man back to his mess.
This command they instantly obeyed, though the
ship was trembling like a frightened child, and they
could hear and see the water gradually rising to
their feet. Had this order not been given and
obeyed, no biscuit or pork could have been saved ;
and when at last the men were ordered' on the quar-
terdeck to embark there was no rushing or confu-
sion, the first party moved off and the remainder
stood at ease with the order and precision of a
Sunday parade, though they could see and feel the
ship gradually sinking. Some who could. secure
nothing else succeeded in securing their Bibles, and
this morning, in the presence of the wreck, we re-
turned thanks to that Almighty 'Saviour to whom
we all feel indebted for our safety.

"We have much to be thankful for. B.ad there
been a rough sea the ship must have gone to pieces,
and it must have washed off the reef those who
could have reached it. Thank God we are all alive,
well, and on a very beautiful island, abounding in
fresh water, pine apples, cocoanuts, and bananas.
This day the pork and also some sails were secured,
and we all under canvas. Colonel Scots
FuSileer Guards, is in command, and there is, in
my opinion, no man better fitted for high command,
as, with a temper most enviable; he has a calm-
ness, firmness, and self-possession which has proved
of essential service to all of us. He was the last
of our party to leave the ship.
" I trust that this disaster may lead the Ad•
miralty to consider the propriety of sending out no
more troops in transports not seaworthy, and the
necessity of providing some means of lowering the,
boats speedily, and of having a sufficient number
to rescue all on 'board, as, if we had: nut been so
close to the shore, not a third of our number could
have been saved.

"From the hour we left Portsmouth we were in
danger, as on leaving the deck the fan of the screw,
which had not been raised, came into collision with
the dock. The fan was positively broken, and the
concussion caused a leak aft•wbich could not be
stopped. The Transit except the wind was on the
quarter or beam, would not answer her helm ; the
sails did not tit her, and were very oli. On the
22d and 23d we lost the foresail, foretopsail, the
mainsail, and maintopsail. The mainyaid, made
of indifferent timber, broke in half like a rotten
stick, and one of the plates of iron of which the
ship is built broke in two below water mark. I
need not tell you that it was almost impossible to
prevent the vessel from foundering ; indeed, had
the gale not abated nothing could
.have saved us.
You cannot conceive the extent of that danger. It
may help you to do so when I t-11 you that on the
24th we pumped out of the wretched ship 600 tons
of water. 600 tons !

At home you will tsteem it a most unfortunate
and disastrous occurrence that we should be lost.
I believe there is not a soul among us who did
not thank God for our being wrecked where we.
were, as if we had proceeded to the Chinese Sets
and met a typhoon, or even a heavy gale of wind,
the Transit must have sunk, and all of us been
lost. For my own part, I esteem it a most merci-
ful occurrence.
" There is no doubt that we shall all have the
sympathy of the people of England. I trust they
will be not only merciful, but be as they ever are,
just, and not hastily blame the captain or the mas-
ter. It may not be right in a landsman to pro-
nounce an opinion, but, as I have now had some
experience, 1 can safely assert that no two men
could have displayed more vigilance and anxiety—
I might say painful anxiety—from the hour we left
Portsmouth. They knew what we did not—our
fearfgl danger, but always displayed so much cheer-
fulness as really to lead us at times to imagine that
she was the finest vessel ever floated.
"It will be remembered that the master navi-
gated the Himalaya in all the rapid voyages she
made in the last war, and is well known at the A-
dmiralty as a most accomplished man.
" Perhaps you will be so good as to have my
letters forwarded, as I know not where I shall be,
and have written to them to forward this to your
office.
" I have saved my writing-desk and Bible, and
others a few trifles. I have lost to the value of al-
most 2001.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.—LIVIRPOOL, Monday.—A Liverpool gentlie
man who was in the train telegraphs from London as
follows :—An accident occurred on the London and
North-Western Railway this morning. No lives have
been lost, nor has any one been seriously injured. When
the mail train, which left Lime-street, Liverpool, at 23
minutes past 10 on Sunday night, ha I reached within a
few miles of Rugby, at two o'clock this iaorning, the
passengers experienced a very severe shock. The car-
riage next to the guard's break-van bad its windows
broken, and was otherwise so much injured that it was
taken off, and left at Rugby. The gusid was very much
bruised about the head and face. He was, however, well
enough to come on by the train, but not in charge of it.
Only one gentleman, who received a severe contusion
on the forehead, remained at Rugby ; the other pas-
sengers were bruised and much shaken, but all went
forward. No bones were broken. The engine-driver
and stoker were injured. On investigation it was found
that no less than three coupling-irons were broken--
those which attachd the engine to the break vans. The
engine, b-ing thus released, wect forward with great
speed, and it was 15 minutes before it returned. The
cause of the accident is unknown,

-b.-Al,.-Al, who arrived there on tire 14th of August, was in
perfect health at Calcutta. at that time, and had
taken the command of the army. On the 17th of
that month ha issued the following proclamation
to the troops Tin
" 13Y THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
"Her Majesty having bet.n graciously pleased to
appoint tee commander in chief of the forces in In-
dia, in the room of the late lamented. General the
Hon. George Anson, and her Majesty having als,o
been graciowly pleased to confer upon me the rank
of General in the EtSt Indies, I now assume the
command of the army in India.
"In doing F 0 it affords me the highest satisfaction to
find under my troopS wlt o have so filly proved them-
selves, in•the recent arduous operations iu the field,
to be what I have ever known British, soldiers in
every quartar of the globe—courageous, faithful,
obedient, and enduring.
"In former years I have commanded native
troops of India, and by their side I have been pre-
sent in many battleg and victories in which they
have nobly berme their part ; and it is .to me a._ sub-
ject of deep concern to learn that soldiers of whom
I have been accustomed to think so, fav'ourably
should now be arrayed in open and• defiant mutiny
against a government proverbial for the liberality
and-paternal consideration with which it has ever
treated i.s servants of every denomination.
" Whenl join the force now in the field restor-
ing order to the district disturbed by the disaffection
of the army of Bengal, I shall, at the, head of the
British troops, and of those native soldiers who,
though fe* in numbdr, have not feared to -separate
themselves from tueir faithless comrades, -and to
adhere to their duty; feel my old confidence that
they will march to certain victory.
" I shall not fail to notice, and the powerful
Government which I have the honour to serve will
not fail to reward, every instance of fidelity and
valour shown by the troops under my command.
" I call upon the officers and men of both Euro-
pean
and mative troops zealously to assist in the
task before us ; and, by the blessing.of God, we
shall soon again see India tranquil and prosperous.

MR. SPURGEON Altdi THE CRYIS'TAL PALACE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your paper of yesterday I find a para-
graph stating that Mr. Spurgeon has " nobly con-
sented" to preach at the Crystal Palace on Wednes-
day next. I regret that I fail to appreciate the
mAter in its " noble" light, and I think when it
becomes to be considered by the public they will
agree with me in the opinions I hold thereon. Sir,
all " places of amusement" are ordered to be closed
by order of the Lord Chamberlain on the day in
question, and consequently, as the Crystal Palace
falls within that category, it cannot lay claim to
any exemption. A scheme must therefore be de-
vised by which the motives of the.directors may be
apjlauded rather can condemned, while at
the same time the end may be answered
of exempting themselves froni , other " places
of amusement;" Mr. Spurgeon presents himself
to their notice, is at once accepted, and bills
issued announcing his " noble consent." The
t charge of one shilling is to be made for admission,
and if that were all the directors might lay claim
to some purity of intention, by devoting the pro-
ceeds to the Indian Relief Fund ; but when we
find that, in addition to that charge, there is to be
a collection made, and the collection only to be
devoted to the purposes of the chaity, we cannot
but feel that there is something more than meets
the public eye, and some motives of a more interested
character than that which devotes itself to the .be-
nefit of the Indian sufferers. Moreover, sir,- how
grossly incons;stent is the announcement at the foot
of the bills with which the city is at this moment
placarded. After declaring the sacred character of
the day—one for " solemn prayer and humiliation"
—it states, "Trains will run at frequent intervals."
Sir, has Mr. Spurgeon any feeling—have the Crys-
tal Palace &rectors any concern for the souls of
those unfortunate engine-driver, ticket-collectors,
&c., who must necessarily be engaged on that day ?
What prayer will they be allowed to offer ? What
humiliation will they be permitted to evince ? The
day will be to them one of hard and wearisome toil,
and thus the generous spirit of the government in
fixing one of the days of labour, so that man might
have no excuse for not attending his church or
chapel, will be in a great measure frustrated.- What
a spectacle must the interior of the Crystal Palace
present on Wednesday next ! Gaiety and exciting
pleasure will prevail (for the directors, if ever so
disposed, cannot remove the ordinary attractions),
and usurp the place of humiliation and prayer—
thus will the day be made one of mirth and revelry
rather than self-abasement and supplication.
It is to be hoped that the intelligent portion of
the public will not lend themselves to the move-
ment. There is plenty of room in our several
churches and chapels for all to offer up prayer, n l
further, there many true labourers in God's vitro
yard without calling in the aid of Mr. Spurgeon to
assist the meditations of their people. The Crystal
Palace is the very last place for so solemn a service.
A public exhibition is no suitable edifice for humi-
liation and prayer, to entreat the Almighty to re-
move one of the most fearful national calamities
ever inflicted.

—I
trust, sir, you will find this a place in your
valuable columns, in which event I doubt not that
the remarks, feeble though they be, will reap, in
some uegree at least, that effect so earnestly in-
tended by, sir, your obedient servant, _ _
