and impressive :sermon on the Resurrection. At the re.
quest of the Native Members of the Congregation, his

lated into the Tarm:l language, and printed.. In concluding

On Easter Monday his Lordship held a Confirmation,
when 12 English and 50 Native youths were, confirmed.
As only a part of them understood the English language,

the Tamul language, who afterwards addressed those who
bad been confirmed. The whole Service was interesting
and affecting.

gregation.

the last time that all present could expect to meet again in
this world, and exhorted to diligence and perseverance by
the example of Swartz, near whose remains his Lordship
was then standing. His address will not soon be forgot-
ten by those who had the privilege of hearing it.

gress which had been made by the-scholars.
Iliy Lordship's, visit to this important mission, and the
great interest he takes in its welfare, with the valuable aid
he contemplates affording it, call for the liveliest gratitude,
particularly from the Missionaries, and the amnerons natives
connected with the missiOn.. Sincere prayers will he offer-
ed to God, that his,;Lardship!s valuable life may be- long
spared, and that the divine blessing may descend upon the

NEW CA NAL. LOCK.---Isaae A. Chapman, Esq. of
Wilkestx
. trre Pennsylvania, has invented, and exhibited in that
t)' a canal lock upon an entire new construction. It is so con.
strutted that by means of it, a boat may pass up and down from
one level to another without any expenditure of water. A move...-
able box is Made to' rise and fall in the lock by means of water
admitted' into it through a dolion,and this water is returned again
by th, agpfron into the upper level of the canal. As the box or
rhs'evleocatiefallol sat hrei sbeos aitn rti :lege .peir‘lnit..alleehnatpteakni c: it

Lok," and there appears to be no doubt in the minds of time
who have seen its operation, that a canal provided with such locki
would require but little more water than :would be liutficient to
supply leakage, soakage, and evaporation.--Natianal Inttb,
