si:RimAr nal THE SCUITISII HOSPITAL.

' At an earl) hour yesterday morning, Surrey Chapel
was filled by a most respectable audience, among
whom we observed several Members of Parliament,
LO hear the justly celebrated Dr. CHALMERS, Irons
Glasgow. After prayer by the Reverend Dr. Menu,
ut Swallow-street, Dr. CHALMERS delivered a :nose
impressive sermon irom Acts SO, and 35—" k is
more blessed to give than to receive." Much as we
were gratified with his sermon for the Missionary So-
ciety. we conies: that the one he delivered yesterday
was among the finest specimens of pulpit eloquence
we ever head. He illustrated the blessedness of
giving, first, in the resemblance thereby made be-
tween man and the Dittiv, whose goodness was over
all his winks; and, secondly, in the oppui tanity thus
atiOrded to :nen Nt showing that they were actuated
by the true split at the Gospel. The characters of
thole who were proper objects of benevolence was
drawn in admirable m.nner, as was also the mode
in which their watts should he relieved. The bane-
ful con,w4uences of protniscuous charity, withcnt a
due disci iminatiGn between who were, or were net wor-
thy of it, were placed in :i troiy striking light, by their
t itiating the public character, destrtiying the sourct s of
industry, and that independence ut and feeling,
which are essential to the very existenceof socie:y.—.
He then argued the folly of expecting any genzral
public.good while tha poor were allowed to remain in
the gluon: of ignorance and error, and while public
charity was indiscriminately bestowed. He concluded
by a most animated and powerful appeal to the bets
nevolence ut his audience in support of the Institu.,
tion whose cause he now Advocated. Ot the sermon,
as a whole, it it utterly impossible for ns to speak too
highly, but there were many passages in it which for
eloquence. diction, and energy, have, we believe,
been seldom, it ever. equalled.
The Rev. Dr. blasoN. of New York, .concluded
with prayer, and said he was happy to inform the
congregation that they should have another oppor.
tunity of hearing DI. CHALMERS once more, as. he
was to preach in the Scots Church, L radon Wall,'
next Sunday forenoon, for the Hibernian Society...—
After sermon a very. liberal collection was received in
support of the Hospital, which, during .the last years•
has relieved 053 cases.
