Benefit Of lSabbaM Schools.

The following statements were made by
the Rev. W. Goodel, missionary to Pa
lestine, TO the Visiting Committee
Of the Sunday Schools in New York.
In the account of reyi, al in the state of
New York, it is stated, that of 50 persons
who were hopefully sharers in the work,
81 belonged to Sabbath schools in that
place. Ofl00 persons who united with a
church in the course of a single year, 90
had enjoyed the blessings of Sabbath
School instruction. II is said that fthe
missionaries who have gone from Great
Britain to the heather ninetecn-tw cutieths
became pious at the Sabbath schools. And
that of the orthodox ministers in England
under 10 years of age, more than two
thirds became pous at the Sabbath schools.
Henderson and Patterson, who have done
such wonders on the continent in regard to
the Bible cause, it is said, received their
first impressions ut Sabbath schools. The
celebrated DIR. Morrison, missionary in the
vast empire of China, who has recently
translated the whole Bible into Chinese, a
language spoken by the largest associated
population on the globe--became pioGs at
Sabbath schools q who can tell how
many Brainords, and Burchanans, and
Nlorlisons, and Martyrs, and Harriet Ne
wells, God is training in these schools, to
become the blessed instrumental OF removal
ling the world.

The seventy third Number of the Edin-
burgh Review (says the National Gazette
vigorously attacks the Constitutional AS
sociation," formed in London, for the pro-
secution Of offences committed by the
Press 1t is stated in the Review, that
" the friends of the Association have not
only upon no occasion evinced the slight
est disposition TO put the law in force a.
Sanst the most scandalous volJtons of it
on the side ofthe Ministers, but that many
oflt5 supporters, and especially among the
clergy of the Established Church, are
known to be, by their patronage at least,
of the Press" This general account is 81
ven of the Association:
"The agents of ministers, their warmest
supporters both in Church and State, open
y established and patronized a system of
personal Islander, by means of the periodi-
cal press, which they made the vehicle Of
private defamation and obscene ribaldry-
in degree wholly unmatched by the ut
most RIGHTEOUSNESS of the most impure
times, while men OF more reputable des-
crlption associated themselves for the a.
vowed purpose of prosecuting whatever
they might deem Iibels against the govern
nent-that is to say, political writings in
support of doctrines and measures displea-
sing TO the existing ministry"
The Reviewer asserts that, during the
discussions which took place after the
Manchester outrage, from circumstances
which subsequently came to light, that some
of the government spies were connected
with the worst of the publications which
openly recommended rebellion, mutiny,
and assassination.
awe fear" say the Reviewers, "the ma
ture of our libel law is such as to render
conviction, in any given case, highly inn
probable. No man can tell what is. or
what is not libel. The definition given
of the offence by Mr. Bentham is hardly
an exaggeration-.4nyt thing phach anu Lo-
dy at any time may be pleased to dislike, fo,
any raason. 1t should not he forgotten
that, among the members Of the Associa-
ton, are reckoned about forty Bishops and
Peers of Parhsmeht. But, can any thing
be more alarming than that men, who

of all causes, should become systematieal'

THE BLACK DWARF

On the 29th Of August last, MIR. Woole,
the editor ola London periodical Journal
under this title, was released from an i'm.
prls0nment which he had endured for fc.
teen months, for the publication Of an al
lodged scditous writing.--On the day Of
his release, it is stated that 10000 persons
assembled to testify their JOY at the termi-
nation ofhis captivity the horses were t
ken from the carriage which he occupied.
and he was drawn by his admirers to an en-
tertalnment, prepared for him, at which
1000 persons ut down to table. Various
speeches and toasts, called radicals. were gi
ven: one of the speakers, Mr.. Northmore,
closed his remarks as follows:
" shall conclude with short story that
may illustrate little the Stiffness of the six
acts. A boy at Leicester, in the Dispute
between Charles and the people, offended
captain IN the Kings forces by calling his
men RUMPs The captain took him 10
the mayor, and wanted him to be HANGED ::
but the mayor happening to think there was
no great offence in the matter, and being
firm enough to maintain the superiority of
the civil power, dismissed the complaint
with reprlmand, on promise from the
boy not to offend again. The next day. the
troops were drawn out; the boy took
MS usual place; and as the clock struck
twelve thrust his head out of hole
IN the window. All was breathless cxpec-
tation The captain locked fierce. the sol
diers-sheepish when after a pause, the
boy called ont, "aye! aye master cap
tain you &no1c aohat mean :" So while
our enemies threaten us with yindctiye
laws, put all our best patriots in the u-
wholesome dungeons, and subject our po-
litical writers TO fines and incarceration, il
they do prevent us speaking out, they knoy
,rhat ace medn--and what is still more gal
ling to them, they cannot prevent the pub
lie liom understanding what we mean too"

On seeing him reciined on q Sofa, Sunday

See, soft rcolind, in manly grace,
With heavens beam upon his face,
Eyes, that saints may feast upon.
More dazzling than the rising sum
Those radiant orbs so brightly beam,
kindled from Heaven to me they seem
Like seraph from abeve
He moves, and round him heay emily love
See religion, even now,
She sits enshrin d upon his brow;
Hear him preach The saviour's love,
In language gifted from above;
See the Saviour's pleading grace
Pictur'd on his saint-like face
Sinners, can you longer run
The wicked course you have begun
All, sure the music of his tongue,
On which soft eloquecce is hung,
viii turn your hearts to God and Heav'n;
For every pow'rto him seems giv'n.

On the other hand the Paris Constitu-
fional contains two Bulletins, said to be au-
thcntic, giving the particulars OF two bril-
liant victories over the Turks, one on the
Esd of June before Argos, when they re-
treated, and were again repulsed on the
10Th at the pass at trieste lhalf way be
tween Argos, and Corinth) with the loss oil
fifteen hundred men, and ESQ horses aud
baggage taken and sent to Trlpollzza. The
other engagement is said TO have taken
place at Corinth, on the 9th OF Aug III
which the Turks suffered greatly. The
battle was resumed the next day, when
they lost 5000 in killed, and large number
of wounded and prisoners. About 1000
horses and all their baggage ammunltlons
fell into the hands of the Greeks. The
London Courier doubts the authenticity Of
these bulletins.
The Paris Moniteur of the 18th of Sep
