aOom@tttee od the Comuen Co0ocN ol Abany, a late report respecting the Sabbath law, gave the O- lowing honorable testimony n favor of the due Observ- aRce Oi that holy day ;--"There are but few who will not admit, that to the influence of Christianity this country IS indebted for ts civilization its learning its free institutions, and its general happiness. There are few who would not consider the extinction of Christianity fatal to the best interests of the na- tiOn--as prelude to anarchy and barbarsm. pro- position for the general abolition of Christianity in the United States would therefore excite universal abhOr.ence. But it is be feared that proposition to abolish the Christian Sabbath would not meet with opposition so universal. And yet, in the judgement ot your committees there Is nothing plainer than that the existence OfChristianty itself essentially depends on the preservation of the Sabbath"
 Happy would it be if our national authorities felt something of the spirit which dictated the above re- port. We should hear less of military parades, firing of sautes, inspecting of national vessels transporting the mail, Sc. than now do. Odrgovernment pro- fesscs to be guided by the principles of Christianity while practical nideIiy marks its whole coArse,1

 On Thursday morning the body of Patrick Morgan was found in field at the south part of thls viage.- He had been the day previous near the place in a state of noXlcaton. Thursday afternoon we witnessed battle royal between two drunken fellows, one of whom was promptly conveyed to the black hole, to get sober at hs leisure: in the evening, pas sing down Golden street, we discovered another ry of Bacchus yng upon the pavement and exctaimng -"Oh, jet me die let me dle!' A few minutes after collection of people in Third street attracted our att tention, and there we fouud laboring man who had taken "a drap too much of the cratur with his thigh badly broken. He was taken to the poor house, and medical attendance provided. Such are some of the baneful effects of ntemperance.

 Talue cf Cotton.-tt appears that the val- ue of the cotton imported into Great Brit ain in the year 1922, in its raw state, was S22, ,50O,O ,OOO, and that when it was manufac- tured, its value was estimated at 2l8 millions, nearly ten times the worth of the raw mate rial. Thus two hundred millions of dollars were gained to that kingdom by manufactur-. ing labour and machinery, and on single article or staple of general use and consump- ton. The fact of the advantages of manu- featuring to England is thus displayed in the strongest point of view. Indeed, the benefit of manufacturers cannot admit of question: the only doubts on the subject being in re- gard to the time, the mode and the qua,,tum of encouragement they should receive--as we believe will be agreed by all parties.
