He expected that young men so trained up would, as mer"

duties which were entrusted to their care. (Cheers.) The.

arose from the establishment of such a society as the present,
and concluded amidst reiterated bursts of applause.
The Rev. RICHAR7 noon, missionary for West Canada,
entered into an interesting description of the country and the
aboriginees of the far west, amongst whom he had been settled
as minister of the Church of England since the year 1833. A
short time after his settlement he found that there were two
tribes of native Indians inhabiting the neigh ourhood, the.
Munsees and the Ojibbeways, both of whom were in a state of
complete heathenism. The rev. gentleman combated as incor-
rect the efforts making by some write.s to extol the native
In-
dian character, which he characterized as merciless an,
t
treacherous. In his first attempts to convert these poor crea-
tures he had no pecuniary assistance, except from one rev-
gentleman whose name he would give—the Rev. Mr. Waddi-

the chief of the Munsee tribe was received into the visible
church by baptism. Afterwards many of his tribe were put under
instruction, and, after satisfactory examination, also received
into the Church. Of that tribe onl, two now remain in a state
of paganism ; and many of the Ojibbeways and Oneidas have
renounced paganism. The number of these tribes is about
1500. After some further interesting remarks, the rev. gentle-

per qr. over the currency of this day week.

Foreign Wheat was in good reduest at full prices, and oft
some descriptions at is. per qr. improvement. The accountg
received from France and Belgium quote higher rates, and the
