MISSIONS OF THE CHURCH OF

SCOTLAND.
The annual meeting of the members and friends of the
Church of Scotland was held yesterday in the large room at
Exeter-hall, for the purpose of advocating the educational
and missionary schemes of that Church. The chair was taken
at eleven o'clock by the Marquis of Bute, her Majesty's Lord
High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church
of Scotland. The platfbrin was crowded, and the body ofthe
hall was nearly filled by a highly respectable assemblage.
The Marquis of BUTS, on opening the proceedings of the
day, adverted to the great superiority of the people of Scot-
land to those of England in point of education, both religious
and secular, and he eulogised the efforts which the Church of
Scotland had made to enlighten the poorer classes of society
in that part of the kingdom by the educational and mis-
sionary institutions it had established.
The Rev. A. 111‘GLAsitAN read the report for the last year,
in which frequent mention was made of the recent secession
from the Church of Scotland, and the difficulties encoun-
tered from that cause ; but whilst lamenting the loss of
so many valued labourers, the Church of Scotland, it was
stated, " is as strenuously resolved, as at any former
period, to spend and be spent in the cause of Christ and
in the extension of his kingdom." The parishes vacated
in 1843 have been filled up, and nearly 1,200 clergy-
men are now united in their desires to promote the
objects of the missions of the Church of Scotland. Among
the most munificent of the contributors to its funds were
mentioned the Marquis of Bute, 1001. per annum ; James
Matheson' Esq., donation of 2001., and 251. per annum ; John
Swinton, Esq., donation of 50/., and 10/. per annum ; and
Miss Campbell. donation of 100/., and 251. per annum. It
was stated that the lay association has raised upwards of
5,000/. during the short period since its formation. The ob-
jects of the missionary plans were stated briefly, as follows :
For increasing the means of education in Scotland, particu-
larly in the Highlands and Islands and large towns; for the
propagation of the gospel in India and foreign parts ; for
promoting the religious interests of Scottish families in the
British colonies ; for aiding congregations already established
in Scotland ; employing probationers, and encouraging young
men to the office of the ministry. For carrying out the plans
of education, the income for the last year amounted to 4,0001.,
the number of schools was 146, which had afforded the means
of education to upwards of 13,000 pupils. A normal school
has been established at Edinburgh, and a new building is nowerecting at an estimated expense of 8,000/., of which the Go-
vernment granted one half. The reading of the report was
loudly cheered, and the usual resolution for its adoption was
carried unanimously.
The Rev. Dr. 11PLEop, Dean of the Chapel Royal, Scot-
land, moved the first resolution, and, in a very animated
speech, after tracing the rise and progress of the Church of
Scotland Missionary Society, which, from the smallest be-
ginnings, has risen to such importance that it has at present
9,0001. invested in Government securities, and has its teachers
and missionaries in most parts of the world, he proceeded
to allude to the state of the Church of Scotland itself, and
to the recent secession from its body. The excitement that
had been produced by the eloquent appeals to the passions
and the feelings of the people had, he said, nearly subsided,
and he felt assured that the Church of Scotlandnow rested on
as firm & basis as ever. It was rooted in the hearts and the
institutions of the people, and it would not be destroyed.
Scotland would not allow it to be overthrown, for the Church
was too deeply rooted in their affections to be pulled down
by every wind of doctrine. England would not allow it to
be put down, for it was one of the time honoured institu-
tions of the land, and not one stone of the venerable insti-
tution would be permitted to be removed ; the Church of
England itself would not allow it to be put down, for the
Church of Scotland was the Church recognised by the laws ;
nay more, it would never be put down, for God would not
allow that Church which had borne testimony to the word
under all difficulties and in all countries, to be destroyed.--
(Cheers.) He concluded by moving the resolution, to the
effect, "That the extension of a sound Scriptural education
in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, under the direction
of the Church of Scotland, is not only urgently required, but
eminently worthy of the support and countenance of patriots,
Christians, and Churchmen.
It was announced by Dr. M`LEop that the Duke of Suther-
land had sent a donation of 1501.
The LORD PROVOST of GLASGOW seconded the resolution.

The Rev. Dr. HILL moved the next resolution, to the
effect, " That the home, foreign, and colonial missions of the
Church of Scotland having been eminently owned and blessed
of God, it is the duty of that Church not only to maintain but
to enlarge them to the utmost of her means ; and this meet
ing hereby records its thankfulness to the great Head of the
Church that a missionary spirit animates the hearts of the
Scottish clergy as intense as at any former period of her his-
tory." In supporting this resolution Dr. Hill alluded to the
secessions from the Church of Scotland, the aniount of which
he said had been greatly exaggerated; and, as all indication
of the real extent to which the secession bad been carried, he
instanced two districts with which he was mere particularly
connected in which the seceders amounted but to one-
tenth and to one-seventh of the whole population. It was,
indeed, the fact that most of . the foreign missionaries had se-
ceded, and that it became, therefore, necessary to appoint,
others in their room and to furnish funds for their appoint-
ments.

The Rev. Dr. BARR, in seconding the resolution, further
alluded to the recent secession, which he said had now passed
away as a cloud, and left the Church of Scotland more firmly
established than ever. In the course of his speech the Rev.
Gentleman made an accidental blunder that excited general
laughter. He was enforcing very urgently the necessity of
employing catechists in great numbers to act as sub-mis-
sionaries, but he miscalled them in one instance Catholics,
therefore the meeting was somewhat startled to hear the
Rev. Presbyterian Clergyman call on them to "send an
army of Catholics among the people," as the best means of
promoting the missionary labours of the Church of Scotland.
The Rev. J. CUMMING moved the next resolution :
" That a national Protestant Church establishment, with
fixed creed and ecclesiastical authority, and protected alike
from the dictation of the patron, and the domination of the
people—is not only the greatest safety of the State and secu-
rity for civil freedom, but also, when blessed by the Spirit of
God, is eminently calculated to deepen the influence of re•
ligion in men's hearts at home, and to carry it to the Jew
first, and also to the Gentile abroad." This resolution opened
directly the question in dispute with the non-intrusionists.
Mr. Cumming read a paper which had been distributed very
extensively in the hall by the Seceders, stating that a meet-
ing of their Missionary Society would be held in June, adding
that all the missionaries of the Church of Scotland had
seceded. He said in reference to the former part of the
announcement, that he heartily wished the Seceders all suc-
cess in spreading the Gospel in heathen lands, and as to the
latter portion of the announcement, he would only say that,
with the exception of Dr. Jupp, there were none of the se-
ceding missionaries whose places could not be readily sup-
plied. He then proceeded with great animation to defend
the principles of the Church of Scotland, and to contend that
it enjoyed all possible freedom in spiritual matters, and that
the objections of the non-intrusionists were without any real
foundation. _ _

-ls;WPart of Mr. Cumming's address, and occasionally
during the preceding speeches, some members of the Secession
Church exhibited their disapprobation by hissing, which,
however, was quickly suppressed by redoubled applause.
The Rev. HUGH M‘Nair., of Liverpool, seconded the reso-
lution ; and, in doing so, entered into a careful analysis of +l-44
great question of spiritual independence which has ()clonal('
so much of public attention in Scotland for 50ine time past,
and carefully impressed upon his audience the necessity of
distinguishing between things that were distinct from things
which differed, which he seemed to thillk had been the fault
of the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, in his luminous speech on
this subject, delivered at the great meeting of the Free
Church of Scotland, held in Exeter Hall a short time ago.
lie argued that the Established Church and the Secession
held the same principles as to the essential importance and
propriety of spiritual independence in Christian communi-
ties, but that they differed as to the legitimate application
of those principles, under particular circumstances. The
real question was, whether there was an absolute necessity
far resorting to those extreme measures which had charac-
terised that remarkable movement to which he alluded.
The resolution was carried with much applause.
The Rev. Dr. STEPHENS, of Bombay, then moved a vote
of thanks to the Noble Chairman, which was carried by ac-
clamation.
The Marquis of BUTE returned thanks, and dissolved the
assembly.

NEW OBLITERATING STAMP AT THE POST-OFFICE.
—By command of the Noble Earl (Lonsdale), the Post-
master-General, a newly-invented obliterating stamp is now
In use. The stamp is of the circular form, and bears in its
entre the number of the post-town whence the letter is dis-
patched. To the public this stamp furnishes peculiar advan-
tages, and the benefit of its use in the office is also equally
apparent. The post-towns from Abingdon to Yeovil are
alphabetically arranged and consecutively numbered:
Leicester bears the impress 449 in the centre of the_obelilea-
rating mark, it being the 449th town on the list.ra .egTh

he had eaten the putty. It was a piece about half as big as
a marble. Witness got It from a boy named Roberts, who
said he had stolen It ftom a tub outside the door of an oil-shop
at the corner of Plicenix• street, where he had often got putty
before. Mr. J. Snow, ofFrith-st t,
ree surgeon, said that he was
sent for to attend deceased at the house of his parents, in
Rose-street, on Wednesday morning last. Witness found him
extremely ill, and evidently suffering from the effects of some
metallic and irritant poison. Witness administered proper
remedies, but deceased died at two o'clock the same afternoon.
Upon a post mortem examination, the stomach and other in-
ternal organs were found to be highly inflamed. There was
no doubt that deceased's death had been caused by swallow-
ing a quantity of white lead, of Which article the putty was
composed. It was not at all unusual for persons to live as
long as three or four days after swallowing such poison. The
oil mixed up with the white lead would retard its influs;ace.
After some deliberation, the jury returned a verdict that de-
ceased " Died from the effect of poison eweldentally ad-
ministered."

COLLIERS' WAGES.—We suppose wages differ in
different districts, and that in the same spot one clever
steady man will earn more than another ; but we have
before us tt statement of the earnings of four men in a
colliery in this county, with names, dates, and other par-
ticulars, from which it appears that during the last few
weeks their gross wages have averaged 2/. 2s. Bd. each,
from which deduct los. for a drawer, and 3s. 2d. for
candles, and there will be left IL 9s. 64.3 or 4s. l ls. per

CeicKET.--The first match at " Lord's" for the
season was played on Monday between the Marylebone
and the St. John's-wood Club. The 11 of the first:-
named body, however, mustered very weak on the occa-
sion, and were wofully deficient in bowling. Indeed, it
may fairly be stated that they had but one bowler (Hill-
yer), and the result was, that whilst all the fine balls of
the latter, from the hardness of the ground, went over;
the wicket, those from Sir T. Moncrteff and Mr. Bur-
goyne were hit about in all directions, until Dawson had
scored 21 ; Royston, 38 ; Golding, 65 ; the Hon. F.
Ponsonby, 24 ; and Mr. Morse, 13. A change in the
prospects of the St. John's-wood men was, however.
accomplished by " putting on" Lord Glamis, ss ho
quickly lowered two wickets, and caused a catch from a
third. The Hon. F. Ponsonby, as usual, played beauti
fully, although he does not appear to have regained the
free use of the arm he injured in one of the matches lase
summer. This gentleman obtained 24. Royston bree
bowled and batted extremely well ; he scored 38 ''' uns,
and bowled seven wickets in the first innings feral four
out of the six who went in for a second. Daweon made
21 runs ; Golding, 26 ; and Mr. Mouse, 13. 'On the part
of the Marylebone Club, the Hon. R. Grinesston displayed
some excellent hitting, and made nine runs ; but Mr. A.
Haggarth, who distinguished himself so much last season
as one of the Harrow eleven, bore, off the laurels on this
side ; he scored in admirable style 26 runs. Sir 'l'. Mon-
crieff played steadily, and gained 5 and 8. Lord Glareis.
was unfortunate ; whilst Mr. Hicks exhibited a vast im-
provement upon his batting of last season. The Maryle-
bone scored 81, and the St. John's-wood 215. In their
second innings the former had lost six wickets for !Ss
runs, when the time was called. The game was ute:lee_
'stood to be given up. The match for next Mondale is 11
'of the first half of the alphabet against 11 of the ',est half.
THE ROYAL CONSERVATORIES AND KITCHEN GAR-
DENS,KENSINGTONPALACE.--OnThursday,r4two o'clock,
a large quantity of property, situated
on the Itoval
Kitchen gardens, adjoining Kensingtote palace, was dis-
posed of by auction, for the purNse of being cleared
away to form the site of the new road, which is to com-
municate between Bayswater and High-street, Kensing-
iton. The materials consisted of the Venetian water
}toyer, by which the Palace was formerly supplied with
es ater, eight large conservatories and hot-houses, in
iwhich were some valuable vines, showing a prospect of
•an abundant produce, several thousand feet of glazed
sliding roof sashes, hot air and steam apparatus to hot-
houses ; melon frames, garden hand-lights, tSze., with,
' bove a million of bricks. There was an extent of wale
f above one thousand feet, the boundary of seer eiki
eres of ground, covered with fruit trees, which wilt be
ulled down and the trees removed: There %sees a very
umerous attendance of persons connecters, with the
uilding trade, and an animated competitifen took place.
'he entire lot of bricks were sold feet. 237/. and the
rater tower, which consists of twee) lofty towers, for

'ardens had summoned had taken their determination not to
comply with an imposition of this description. They conceived,
it to be a sacred obligation to resist it to the utmost; and
they were prepared, if necessary, to throw open their houses,
and let their goods be sold, rather thanailo that which their.
Consciences told them they ought not t do. The Magistra',es
ordered the rates to be paid, with costs. Distress warrants
have been issued, and the goods of the defaulters will 'oe sold.

EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE BOILER.—Pin Wed.
nesday morning last, great alarm was created. iii the station.
yard of the Newcastle and Carlisle Resilway, at Lot,-.
don-road, near Carlisle, by the ex''tosion of a boil es,
of the Adelaide locomotive engiese. The engine lead
just arrived in the station yartl., with a train of eeepty
coal waggons, from the tanal basin, and leavinie
'it
taken in a supply of eeke, the engine-driver was a:oout to
forward, when terilfic noise was heard, and th
train became eneeloped in a dense cloud of steam

d smoke.
On examination, it was found that, owing to some cause net
yet precisely ascertained, the upper part of the fire-box or
the engine had burst, and that with such tremendous force.
had the steam rushed forth, that it had lifted the enginet
bodily from the rails to a distance of eighteen inches, ands
striking the engine-man between the legs and on the low, jr
part of the body, had thrown him backwards a distance of
several yards; he was found at the bottom of the fourth s ;eat
waggon from the tender. The stoker, who was standinge out
the top of the coke in the tender, was thrown into the. first:
coal waggon. The engine-man was insensible ; the lower-
part of his body was dreadfully scalded, his head much bruised, .
and he had several contusions about his face. The stokeee
was severely, though not dangerously, injured. The engin, '-
man was on Friday going on favourably, but not out esse
danger. The stoker is rapidly recovering.—Leas Times,,
