BRITISH AND FOREIGN SAILORS SOCIETY.
We have received the third annual re-
port of this institution, presented at its
meeting in London, May 5, 1886.
1t states that $4,000 ships and 100000
sailors visit London every year, and that on
an average 1000 ships and 10000 sea-
men are constantly in port, besides 5000
watermen of various classes. For the re.
ligious instruction Of these, worship has
been constantly attended in the Sailors
Chapel, Shadwel. Rev. J. Chapman, the
sailors minister, breaches there on Sab
bath, and twice more during the week, and
the city dissenting ministers supply his
place when travelling for the society. TO
the church formed there, II have added
during the year. The report contains in
teresting anecdotes of the sailors who have
been benefited bythese services.
Benefit has accrued from sailors libra
rics, and 1000 Volumes, 10000 pamphlets,
and 100000 tracts have been sent forth to
agents, to provincial ports, and foreign sta
tons, and in Loan ship.libraries. Ofthcse
last, consisting of collections of the choicest
religious books, l9l are on loan 10 ships
bound to ditferents parts of the world.
Besides those ship-libraries, books are loan
ed to individual sailors.
Mention is made of a Navigation Class
of 73, which has been gratuitousy instruc-
ted in the science of navigation, in the YES
try of the chapel, and is open to mates,
seamen and apprentices; besides day
schools for the children of seamcn and riv-
crmen, Of whom 4G3 were under instruc.

feeding arc most gratifying, and we have
no doubt the system will be fully approved
wherever fairly tested. When convenient
let the hogs lie in the orchard from the
time the fruit begins TO fail, till it is time to
gather apples for winter Or cider, and they
will in most cases be found respectable
pork. When it is necessary to put them
in the pen, boiled apples mixed with a
small quantity Of corn, oats, peas, or buck
wheat meal, will fill them up rapidly, make
them lard we'll, and fill the farmers barrels
with sound sweet pork Of the first quality.
Ifany however are doubtful, they can easi-
ly finish off |, fr apple fed pork, as is gen.
orally done with potatoe fed, with corn or
peas, End with similar results. G.

There is an incident (says the N. A.
Review in DR.. Darwin's personal history
which furnishes tolerably apt ptillustration of
his practical system, and its fate. ln order
to improve upon the old fashioned mode of
riding, he built platform on his horses
back, on which he perched himself in tri-
umph, undertaking to guide his movements
by system of machinery something like that
ofthc wheel ola rudder. One day, while
circumnavigating in this singular fashion,
the animal made an unexpected tack, which
brought the Doctor to the earth, and lamed
him for life.

At Moscow, on the 4th of August, the
famous bell, the largest and handsomest in
the world, was raised from the ground, where
it has long lain. 1t was cast in 1893, by
order of the Empress Anne, by Michel Mo-
loren, Russian metal founder. Its heigh!
is 21 feet its diameter, % feet; its
weight $4,000 lbs. English weight. The
beauty of the form, the bas reliefs with which
it is adorned; the value Of the metal, which'
is composition of gold, silver, and cop.

advanced state of the art Of casting in
metal in Russia at that early period. 1t

of NJ. Montferrand, and is placed on pc.

From the: Baltimore Gazette.

To THE EDITOR: 1t is to be regretted
that some editor should have given news
paper circulation to an extract from one of
Mr.. CooPER's late novels, relating to Gen.
eral Lafayette's opinion of GoUvENEUE'
MoRRIs's advice to Louis XVI which,, in;
the place it appeared originally, would not
have fallen into so many hands, or caused
so much regret 10 the friends of that Ameri-
can statesman. 1t is stated in the extract,
that General LAFAYETTE told the writer,
Lous XVI. owed bis death as much to the
bad advice of Governeur Morris as. to any
other thing" It's known to all those who
do know any thing Of Governeur MORRIS,
that he was ready, at all times, to express
his opinions TO those who had any right to-
ask them. Those which he held on forms
of government were public here, during
the convention which framed the Constitu-
ton of the United States in which he was a
member. Going to France soon after it
rose, on private business and in private
character, he was met by the Chevalier De
Ia LUzERNE, late Minister from France, and
other French officers and agents, as well as
by Mr.. JEFFERSON, our Minister, and other
Americans in France, by whom he was
introduced at court, and to many eminent
individuals of all the political parties then
agitating that nation.
Some time before the insurection Of the
14th July, 1889, it appears from Mr.. Nor
rs's own diary, inserted in his Life, by MIR.
Sparks, that General Lafayette told him he
injured the cause, and his advice was, III
answer, /" am opposed to the democracy
from regard to liberty. That | see they
are going headlong to destruction, and
would fain stop them if | could. That their
views respecting this nation are totally In
consistent with the materials of which it is
composed"
Such an early and prophetic view OF the
events which followed, gives the Minister
title to be considered the Edmund Burke OF
America. He did, in fact, anticipate Mr.
Burke in the contemplation of the mistakes,
the horrors, and the results of the French
Revolution. But he was bad aduiser. 1t
would be desirable to know what was the
particular advice so characterized. he
thought there ought to be Chamber Of Peers,
to vote on laws separately from the Conn.,
mons. He thought the King ought to secure
his person, by removing to distance from
the mob of Paris. Neither ras adopted,'
and the consequences are known.
IfMr. Cooper, or any other inquirer, will
look into the fourth volume of Mr.. Jeffer-
sons posthumous works page PAT, he will
find that gentleman's advice to Layfayete
at the time was nearly akin to that advan-
ced by Mr.. Morris, call either democratic,
aristocratic, or what you please they were
both founded on the plain and certain prln-
ciple that as MEN ARE NOT MADE TO FIT Gov
ERNMENT, GOVERNMENT MUST BE MADE TO
FIT MEN. ". d.
[See on the same subject, Mr.. Jefferson's
letters TO Madame De Stael, page 100, and
Mr.. J. Adams, page $50, and again to La.
