Spirit more signaIl7 displayed. AS the
bird falls before the archer, so did these
sinners fall in answer to our imperfect
prayers. We now number ID hopeful
converts, and the remaining part OF the
crew are ali in at least favorable state of
mind. There is not a careless one among
them, most ofthem have wept and express
ed an anxiety for their souls satvatIon.--
Our prayer is that the promise TO St. Paul
may BE- fulfilled 10 US, and that the Lord
may give US every soul in the ship before
we separate Ii so, what glorious ex-
clamation will it be when it is said Of the
Charles Wharton as she ascendS the Del
aware on her return 10 Phi'adel phia
here comes the great Bethel" and are
bound for the port of heaven. And when
they collect all their crew, and with the
captain and officers at their head, direct
their steps to the Mariners church, and
there declare all the Lord has done for
them, what an impulse will be given to the
cause of scamen. 1t will no longer be
said there can be no religion on board Of a
ship and that the sailors character is 100
degraded to be elevated even by religion.
Nor will the influence Of this intelligence
be confined to the marine s cause alone.
l trust it will be felt in the churches
that 1t is not a vain thing to send mission
aries to the heather, and that the Lord
will bless the lahors of them that leave
home, and country, and friends, for his
sake

VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND.

BY the packet ship Orpheus, at N.
York, the editors Of the Commercial
Advertiser have received London pa.
pers to the 18th. and Liverpool to the
10th September.
The harvest in England and on the
continent was plentiful and well Sc
cured. Our commercial extracts men.
ton the sale Of 90, 900 bushels OF prime
wheat in Liverpool, at price which
would make il cost just about 81 q
6nshel on board, and landed here 81
37al 90.
FSons The Lirryposi -H,,esry AZ Sect I6.
The HARvEsT.-The wheat and
oais crops this year are very promising
and the present week, which may be
considered a. the most important week
in the year for gathering in the crops
IN the southern parts OF the north oil
England, has been, on the whole. IA
vorable harvest weather, though Tues
day vas a tremendous day OF rain
South Of Leeds and the Trent, almost
all the corr crops are secured, while
north OF shat line a large portion of the
corn crops are npe and some OF them
carried.
Speaking generally, we may say,
that the country has the promise OF be.
ing blessed with another good harvest,
being the fourth in succession, though
n good deal, OF course, depends upon
the next six weeks. In the great corn
counties The grain is already scored.
