The GUof Tongues. Every body who reads
a newspapers has read something OF the Rev. T..
Irving. Scotch preacher, who, several years ago
! established sort Of national independent church
in London. for the purpose of disseminating his
peculiar religious tenets. A few weeks ago, this
gentleman delivered. at his ou n church, two SEP
mons on the extraordinary gifts of the spirit, on
each of which occasions the congregation were
disturbed by individuals pretending to the mira
culous gift of tongues. During the sermon IN
the morning, a lady, thus singularly endowed,
was compelled to retire to the vestry. where she
was unable las she herself says) to restrain her
self and spoke some time in tive unknown tongue,
to the great surprise of the congregation, who
did not seem prepared for the exhibition. The
reverend gentleman resumed the subjectn the
evening, by discoursIng from for rather expound-
| ing) the 18th chapter of the lst Corinthians.
| Towards the conclusion of the exposition, he took
! occasion to allude to the circumstance OF the
morning, and expressed his doubts whether he
had done right in restraining the exercise OF the
gift in church itself, and compelling the lady to
retire to the vestry. At this moment gentle
man in the gallery, who keeps an academy IN
| London, rose from his seat. and commenced a
violent harrangue n the unknown tongue. The
confusion Occasioned was extreme. The whole
congregation rose from their seats in alright. Sc.
veral ladies screamed aloud, aud others rushed
to the doors. Some supposed that the building
was in danger; others, that there had either been
murder. or an attempt to murder some one in
the gallery; insomuch. that one gentleman actual
ly called out to the pew-openers & headle to Stop
him, and not let him escape" On both occa-
sions the church was extremely crowded, and it
is said to be impossible to describe the confusion
produced by this display Of fanaticism There
was, indeed, in the strange unearthly sound and
extraordinary power of voice enough toaPpa the
heart of the most stout-hearted. A great part
of the congregation standing upon the seats, to as.
certain the cause of the alarm, while the reverend
gentleman, MR. irving standing with arms ex'
tended, and occasionally beckoning them to 81.
Ience. formed scene which perhaps partook as
much of the ridiculous as of the sublime. No at
tempt was made to stop the individual. and after
two or three minutes he became exhausted and
sat do Wn, and then the reverend gentleman con-
cluded the service.-BostOn Cour.

Delegates, MIR. Roane presented petition from
Hanover, numerously signed, -praying legisla-
tive facilities for the removal and colonization of
free negroes. and such slaves as may he volunta-
rily manumitted, and the appropriation OF means
for the purchase of certain number OF young
slaves annually, with view of commencing the
great work of abolition. Mr.. koane also present
ed the Memorial of the Society of Friends at their
Yearly Meeting, signed by Fleming Bates on
their behalf, most eloquentIy depicting the evils
Of slavery, and inporing the Legislature to turn
its attention towards some system which may gra-
dualy relieve the country from the greatest OF
national calamities. The Memorial of the
Friends displayed admirable tact and discretion.
Mr.. Goode moved to reject these petitions, up
en- which discussion Of muck interest ensued-
Messrs Roane, Moore, Brodnax, Chandler, Jones
and Boiling, opposing the motion win much
warmth, and Messrs. Witcher, Goode, Carter OF
P. w and Sims, supporting 1t. 1t will be OBJ
served that the petition of the Friends was refer
red by a great majority. This is an important
step. The question of remote and gradual abo-
lition, is under the consideration of the General
Assembly. Circumstances have subdued the
morbid sensitiyeness which disallowed even pub
lie allusion to the topic. Public opinion can now
act out its wishes Events will demonstrate the
groundessness of apprehension from considering
the question OF abolition. The people Ut the
Commonwealth will feel emboldened to express
their wishes openly. and unreservedy and the
practicability of Kidding ourselves of an evil which
all men confess to be the sores which ever nation
sroaned under, will now be tested. We do not
know that yesterday, will not be celebrated by
posteritv, as tlay entitled to be associated with
the Fourth of July, by the benefits which may
flow to Virginia from the STEP then taken.
