ANNIVERSARIES,

Agreeably to the notices in our last thC
 anniversary meetings ofseveral benevOlen
 Institutions have been held in this city the
 present week.
 On Tuesday, the first anniversary of the
 Connecticut Auxiliary Colonization Society
 was held in the Centre Church, ,hiS Excel lency Governor Tomlinson pI esiding. Al.
 ter the reading of the Report of the Sec retary RevMrBacon, the audience was ad- dreSsedAby professor Silliman, in an inc teresting appeal to the enthusiasm the cha- rity and the patriotic pride of christians. Owing to the appropriateness of the wea- ther, but more, we fear from want of in- terest in this most interesting of societies the number of citizens attending was ex- tremely small. That an institution which we hope is destined under God to redeem benighted and injured Africa, ,and repairing in some measure the injury which she has recieved and is now receiving at our hands should fail ofsecuring the countenance and cooperation of our citizens is matter of fsur- prise; and must be attributed, as Prof Sll- iman in his address had the charity to re- mark to an ignorance of what this Society has already done, and what it promises to, do. On Wednesday, the Election Sermon was delivered in the Episcop pal Church by the Rev. MT. Wheaton, of Hartford, which will probably be printed.
 At evening, sermon was delivered in the North Church by the Rev. MT. Boardman, of Washington, setting forth in very im- pressive manner, the claims and the im- portance of domestic missions.
 On Thursday, the Sabbath Schools in this city exhibited spectacle which the patriot and the phian'b bropist mustaever contemplate with deli ht.\ Aboul 600 pu- pills assembled at the Baptist Westinghouse and walked in procession to the Centre Church, where divine service was attend cd and an appropriate add ess to the tea chers and children delivered by Mr. Blan- ohard of the Theological School. The in- teresting appearance and orderly behavior of this congregation of men and women in miniature, in connection with the 100000 insother places filled our minds with plea- sing anticipations of the prospects of our country.
 At evening, the anniversary meeting for business of the Conn. s. s. Union, was held in the North Church, where several addresses were delivered, of which and the Report of the Society, further notice will be given hereafter.-ReI. Int. May 1Oth. Fashion.-What an inconsistent creature is fashion. She was born in April,and has ever since exhibited the spirit of her natal month. Ever changing, ever capricious, che crops the hair one day and lengthens it the next. To-day she is all waist, and to morrow she has no waist at all. Is 1t not high time for her to permit the gentlemen to disenthral their necks from cravats and starched collars? A cravat is the most un- comfortable, of all things, it restricts respi- ration, heats the head, and produces apo- plexy. Nor does it add any charm to the appearance, while it sends comfort into ex- ile. It hides from the eye the beautiful union of the head with the neck, brings on apremature double chin, and gives an air of elumsiness to evry motion of the head. Nor is starched collar any better. One might ] as we'll have butchers knife under his ears, its sharp corners stick in his cheek every time he laughs, and it encloses with in its circle the dust and sand which our cor poration has kindly provided for the com fort of pedestrians. We pray that her high ness will take these matters into considera- tion.-N Y. Paper.
