TIIS COLONIES AND TIIR SOCIETY FOR TEIR PRO-
PAGATION or TILE GOSPEL --At the annual meeting art
Monday afternoon of the Gloucester I? i.xesan
.Asset a-
tion, in aid t f the above venerable society, the
Bishop of
Gloucester and Bristo!, in calling the a.det.t.on of the
meeting to the objects and operation t f the society in
spreading the Gospel among tur colonial possessions,
particularly direct :d public attention to the txpet t tiuu
that
,vre long sown ..t our colonies will be beveled from
tre. His Lordship expressed a hope, that if such a
separe.tion should take placz., it would not be eficctud by
violent means; but be alluded to the growing feeling
which, he said, existed upon this subje.t. with the view
of pressing upon all parties who toils as inttrert in the
propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts to a'd in thet
grt: t work while wo have the power of extcodir g rkli-
gious help to the colonies. His Lordship was fo lowed
by Mr. Vernon, cne of the secretaries of the parint a-
sociation, who also spoke in similar terms of the expect-
ations of our North American colonists.

-NUITIES.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any tine, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure
through this Society.

SYMPATHY.

" My parting with Meta was one of the happiest
moments of my life. We I iti not spoken one word f
our feelings fur each other during my stay—positively,
not one word; but we had talked of almost everything in
the wide world; we had exchanged thoughts and sym-
pathieP, and, strange to say, cur feelings were in exact
harmony. The endless, boundless world of the ma.gm:4-
tive and the imaginable! Pleasant is it when we find in
another the echo of what we feel and are; but how much
higher the enja)ment when we can appreciate in such a
one the feelings which we ourselves do not possess, and
thus el ter, soul with soul, into the sweet exchange of
spiritual Imrmonie,! By net reducing cur feelings to the
point cf mere self-enjoyment, we exi erienco a growing
happines-, the reverse of w}.at those lovers feel who allow
the flame to dio by what it feeds or, and who in this way
are expoied to the curse of a double selfishness. To sus-
tain the life of the affections, we require a companion,
not a counterpart; and they are blessed who mistake not
one for the other."
Among St. Leger's mental trials he is disturbed by
the suggestions of the infidel philosophy. his enio-
tione, on yielding to it, are thus described

mind. I looked back t) my fnmer state-, and I,lt how
happy had La ca my ignorance. I thungot, f the God of
my childhood, and a pang wcat low down into my
near. I seemed to have lost my humanity, and over the
warm Lf,-glowing structure of a In'petul heart had been
raised a splendid an i magnificent but cold and gloomy
mausoleum. True, I was no longer a seccndary otject;
I was apart of the sublime whole; a portion c f very God;

COURT JOURNAL, DECEMBER. 22, 1549,

Amongst the mmy instances of metro:,olitait industry and skill,
we c tit point to nine inure remarkable and u caul in its tv,y that
the " foal-otlice London Directory." We have but to draw at:mi-
tt n to the vast extent of this metropolis, with its great mass of
population, embr,ing all ranks, prof ssions,. an I trades, and We
may form some notion of the immense labour and energy which
must have. been eNpentle.l before such materials could have been got
into such a systematic as that at one glance we can be made
acquainted with every street, every house, and es ery null cidual,
whether amongst the =Why, ;zenzty, inerchantS, protbs4mal men,
traders, and tradesmen, with the private residences and places-of
of each, within the metropolis and its innnedi tte environs.
This public akin is not simply one Directory, but comprehends an
" tifilcnl Directory," a "Street Din ctory," " Commercial Direc-
tory," " Trades' D:rectory," •• Liw Directory," "Court Directory,"
" Parliamentary Directory," " Postal Directory," " City Directory,"
"Conveyance Directory," " Banking Directory," &c. - The "Street
Directory" furnishes the names of the residents in each sire t or
place. The "Commercial Directory" has ail these latter In com-
plete alphabetical order, while the nobility and gentry will be found
in similar arrangements in the "Court Directory." The 6` Trades'
Directory" exhibits all the mega eri of each of the two thous ,ad •
trades, classified distinctly—the sub-divisions of etch being suitably
distinguished. The "Law Directory "is devoted to the classifica-
tion of the members of the profession, together with the general
leg 1 matters appropriate to a work of this character; while the
" arliamentary Directory " furnishes all requisite -information
as to Peers and and Members of Parliament, and as to'

t dr town rc3idences and country seat,. The " Postal Directory "
gives full instruction on the subject of Money Orders, and of; the
transmission oflett rs and newspapers to all parts of the world.
The "Conveyance Directory" is devoted to the Important subject
which its title indica es. as are the 'Banking" and "Assurance
Directories." Such a mass ~f imilar infi.mnation was never dill-
bited, until the appearance of this work; and when we' look at its
stupendiAis appearance we are proud to encouragd the undertaking
upon national grounds.

ITALY.

The Cattolico of Genoa, of the 231 instant, an-
nounces that all the members of the Order of St.
John of Jerusalem had been invited to meet at
R )me in February next. They are to attend in
person, or to be represented by delegates, furnished
with regular powers. The French members of the
order are 11 in number. The province of Romagna
continued to be infested with robbers. During the
night of the 17th a band of about 100 ruffians, dressed
as military men, and armed with tOwling-pieces, en-
tered the village of Colignole, near Faenza, plundered
ten of the best houe.3, carried away the public
chest, and carried off several inhabitants, for whom
they claimed a ransom. Three or four others, who
attempted to resist, were, more or less, dangerously
wounded.

THE BRITISH MEDITERRANEAN

FLEET.
A letter from Tri.-ste, of the 21s!', in the Augs-
urg Gazette, states that the English fleet arrived
at the Piraeus on the 15th, from the mouth of the
Dardanelles, and was to proceed to Milts. The
French fleet was still off Smyrna.

BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, Dacnniza 22, 1849 -

No book in existence conveys such a vivid and impressive idea of
the magni ude, wealth, and almost infinite occup itions of the dwellers
in the metropolis of the world, as the volume now before us, and
which has establish° I for its compiler a reputation which will last as
long as England shall continue to hold tier position among the
nations of the earth. Without a careful examination of the contents
of this immense vo'•inie, it would be impossible to form anything
like a correct idea cf its value, or of the labour which must have
been 4pe7it in its com;:i ation. Certainly no merchant or tradesman,
no ',Ludic or private company, ought to be without a cony. Under
its twelve separate Director es, London and its professions and
trades are so fully and accut utely classified, that nothing legitimately
belonging to either of these heads will be looked for lu vain.

dresses are sufficient to excite special wonder —look at the Smiths,
for instance, or the Browns, and you will marvel that there, are so
many of each in the world. It must be borne hi mind, however,
that this extraordinary Directory does not confine itself to people's
whereabouts, nor what companies dor or pro'ess to do. We have all
that is official set forth, and a book of reference for all occasions c at-
nected with the business of life. The public now find this ► ook in-
dispensable to the various commercial and social purposes to which

MINING JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849.
This useful and, to a commercial man, necessary publication, has
again made its annual appearance, with still greater accuracy and
eclat, if possible, than its more immediate predecessors. As a gene-
ral Directory, it is immeasurably superior to those pseudo-cheap
and ephemeral publications which, under various phases, and dif-
ferent denominations, have struggled into existence by plagiarism
from this work, and which, by the preface, we see are now totally
defunct. The price at which the book is published, places it within
the reach of that class (the trading community) for whom it is espe-
cially designed, while to the courtier and Parliamentary man it has v
the recommendation of affording him the most useful and accurate I .0
summary to be obtained of the "modern Babylon."

GERMANY.

At Berlin the elections for the Parliament of Er-
furt have resulted in the triumph of what are called
the Constitutional Conservatives, that is those who
are in favour of the adoption without modification of
the CJnstitution of the three Kings. Only a small
portion of the electors, however, took part in the
vote.

In reply to the note of the Federal Commission o
Frankfort, the Government of Mecklenburg-Schwe.
rin has declared that it does not recognise the right
of the Federal Commission to interfere in the ques-
tions pending in that Duchy, as the new Consti-
tution was legally and
,formally voted by all the au-
thorities.

In a recent sitting of the Assembly of the States
of Saxe-Weimar, a clause was adopted in the Con•
stitution, only authorising the GRAND DUKE to ex-
ercise a veto on Bills of which he may disapprove.
The GRAND Duaz wcu:d not, it was said, approve
of this.

A letter from Vienna states that the editors of the
Wanderer had received an intimation to adopt a
►more moderate line of policy, and the publisher had
been deprived of the post of printer to the Court.
M. GIIIARDET, the C )urt bookbinder, had also been
deprived of his post for the part he took in the events
of 1848. The editor and one of the principal con-
tributors of the Fiquelmeze, of Pesth, had been ba-
nished.

The Archduke JOHN arrived at Graetz a few days
ago. He was received with every demonstration of
joy, and the town was illuminated.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Copenhagen journals state that, in order to
meet the extraordinary experses incurred by the
State in consequence of the war, the Danish Go-
vernment has felt itself compelled to raise the import
duty on several articles—viz., coals, 50 per cent. ;
sugar, raw and refined, molasses, and treacle, 25
per cent. ; tea, 20 per cent.; tobacco of every kind,
raw and manufactured, and cigars, 20 per cent. ;
timber and deal of every kind, inclusive of Finland,
20 per cent. ; wine, 10 per cent. This alteration of
tariff came in force on the Ist of January, 1850, and
is to continue in operation till the 31st of December,
1850.

A letter from Keil of the 231 says :—" The confi-
dential commission (vetraucia manner) yesterday
received a letter from the King of DENMARK, in
which his MAJESTY expresses his satisfaction at the
loyal sentiments cf his subjects, and invites that
commission to send him their proposals or to bring
them to Copenhagen. Their departure is expected
to take place shortly.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CAMERON'S COALBROOK S AM COAL AND
SWANSEA AND LOUGHOR.

A general meeting of the proprietors cf this com.
patty took place yesterday, at the company's offices,
Moorgate -street ; Mr. B. G. Winthrop in the chair.
Mr. ELDERTON, the solicitor, in the absence of the
secretary, read the advertisement convening the
meeting, and said that they had met that day for the
sole purpose of receiving the report cf the directors
relative to the formation of a line from Swansea to
Loughor.
The CHAIRMAN then read the report, which stated
that the directors cf this company had to remind the
shareholders that the present meeting was altogether
of a formal character, and was convened in pursuance
of the provisions of the Act of Parliament. The share-
holders were aware that after two successive meet-
ings they had empowered the directors to construct a
branch line connecting the company's colliery with
the port and docks of Llanelly, and the directors
were taking the most active steps to carry for-
ward their instructions. With regard to the
main line to Swansea, the directors were still strongly
impressed with the advantages that NN ould accrue to
the company from the construction of such a line
when the same should be made. A 3 a property it
would be greatly enhanced by the circumstance cf
the harbour at Swansea being almost ready to be im-
mediately floated, thereby making the company's
wharf and railway much more valuable, and also
from the fact that the docks at Swansea (which
had been greatly promoted by this company) ap-
pearing now to offer a reasonable prospect of being
completed.
After some conversation the report was adopted,
and a vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the
business of the day.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1850.

In the House of Lords last night the Archbishop
of CANTERBURY offered an explanation in justification
of his conduct respecting the Registrarship of the
Canterbury Prerogative Court, to which Nvs had
directed the public attention on Thursday, the 2d in-
stant. We are, indeed, rejoiced that his Grace should
have thus come forward, that he deemed it necessary
to defend himself before the assembled Peers of
the United Kingdom from what he must
have considered a charge of considerable mag-
nitude, affecting the establishment of which he is
the highest Ecclesiastical member. It is always de-
sirable that both sides should be fully and fairly
heard on every question, that nothing should be de-
cided on an ex parte statement. Both cases are now
before the country,
for and there are ample materials
arriving at a correct conclusion on the premises.

DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri-
vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by
a cause so prevalent as that of worms In the human body, and which
is so frequently overlooked. It is, therefore, of importance that
every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of
worms, which are disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue,
particularly heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes,
swelling and paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, fre-
quent itching of the nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite
very irregular, and the bowels also, vale and emaciated countenance,
and at ether times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short,
cough, great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of
the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of In-
clination to take exercise, Inflammation of the eyes, &c., &c. These
are smne of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms;
adults as well as children are subject thereto. Youth or age may
with the utmost safety have recourse to this old established medicine,
which is adopted by numerous families. It is with this view that
the serious attention of all afflicted persons is directed to the symp-
toms thus described, which are produced by worms, and to a trial of
this safe and effectual remedy, the value of which is corroborated by
numerous testimonials through a long period of years.
This medicine may be administered with confidence to children
or the most debilitated adult, without restraint in diet or confine-
ment. Its efficacy is also particularly beneficial as an alterative
medicine,' insensibly removing all impurities of the blood, &c., and
promoting a healthful vigour to the s hole system.
