From Tho. Dale's Sermon at st. Brides Church
Hearing the voice OF the Shepherd.

Now will tell you when you "hear
the voice" of Christ; It is when, just as
you are about to do wrong, something
within stops you, and says, "God is look
ing at you; forbear to do this;" you hear
it too, when the time of duty comes round,
and something whispers within you, you
ought now to do what your parents have
hidden you; it is now time to read your
Bible, or to say your prayers, or to pre-
pare your lessons. or to do your duty in
that state of life which it has pleased God
to call you to- And you follow the
good Shepherd, when you do good and
show love to those around you; when
you curb violent tempers or angry pas
sions, because you are afraid of sin
when, Just as an evil word is trembling
on your lips, you forbear to utter. it
when you come away from those, hOwcs

Anecdote OF a Pious Negro.


A man in Kentucky, buying a slave,
went to the former master, and said to

after his work was done, retiring to the
woods. His master, unobserved by him.
followed one day to the spot and over
heard him engaged in prayer for himself
and his wife. He returned, but did not
say anything to him at the time. When
the Sabbath came, Cuff went to meeting:
When he returned his master asked him
how he liked the meeting He answered,
very well; there be good people. I
thank the Lord come here to iiye.,-
His master then said to him, well. Cuff,

up, and gave him the twenty five lashes.
and then let him down, and Cuff went
away singing,
"Soon my days will all be DER

His master went into the house, and bis

but through the agitation of his spirit he

precisely known-wi,hout arms. The
State cannon are being recovered. The
Marshal is on the qui vive with his deputies
directed by the District Attorney to serve
civil process on the leaders, if they can be
found.
The writer thinks there were six or sew
en- hundred shot and shells thrown on the
Island, killing only one man, whileit is be-
lieved that sixteen were killed on the other
side. Governor Marcy and General Scott
are at Buffalo.
The Buffalo Star Extra, of the 18th inst
says, the patriot army retreated from the
Island during the night, having conveyed
the cannon belonging to the State of New
York aud the United States, TO Grand Is
land, and placed them in the charge of Col
Ayers of the militia.
The Commercial Advertiser of Buffalo
says, the cannon are at Schlosser, and lha,
it was believed the larger portion of Van
Renselaer'S men had landed on the ada
cent parts of Grand Island. Their farther
movements are left to conjecture.

THE SUB-TREASURY BILL.

Mr.. Wrighl's bill, containing the ar.
rangements which he proposes for allowing
the United States Its own separate and par
tIcular treasury, instead Of giving the custo-
dy aud use of the public money to asso-
Citations Incorporated by the States, is in
our paper Of to-day. 1t creates some new
public officers, but it dispenses with more.
1t leaves out os office huudrcds, who, by
virtue OF their position as managers of the
banks, acted us public treasurers. 1t pro-
poses to provide for the safety of the pub
!ic property by the natural and obvious ar
rangement of keeping it IN the care of the
nation to which it belongs.
For this purpose the bill directs the up
pointment OF four Receivers General, sta
TONED at New York, Boston, Charleston
and ST. Louis, who, with the Treasurer at
Washington, and the Tressurers of the
Mint at Philadelphia and ST. Louis, shall
be the principal keepers of the public funds.
For this purpose safe and strong depositor-
les are To be constructed at Washington,
Charleston and New Orleans, and in The
custom houses now building in New York
aud Boston. To these officers all coIlec-
tors and receivers Of the public money, Of
Whatever name, in thei respective cities,
are required by the bill, as often as directed
by the Secretary Of the Treasury, to pay
over the public funds which come into their
hands. Collectors and surveyors of the
customs, treasurers Of the branch mints
now in process of erection, receivers of
land Offices, and postrnssters, are also con-
under certain limitations Of time
and amount, keepers Of the public money
which comes into their hands, and are
directed to disburse and transfer il at the |
order Of the Secretary Of the Treasury. |
Sufficient bonds, to be renewed or iucress-
ed from time TO time, are TO lie required Of
all these officers, and various provisions are |
contained in the bull for examining their
accounts and ascertaining the safety of the (
monies in their hands.

EVACUATION OF Navy IsLSSD.-lt gives
Us great pleasure to announce TO our rea-
ders the fact Of the abandonment Of Navy
Island by the Patriots. This timely meas

felt for our position, and remove the seat Of
war probably more remote from our bor-
ders.

BUFFALO, January 16.
Dear Sir-The encampment on Navy Is
land, as | told you, broke up the nigh,
before last. The arms, artillery, &c. be-
longing to this state having been returned.
The militia force was concentrated at the
crossing from Grand Island to the main
land on our shore, at which point the Mar
shall, under the direction of the District At
torney, arrested the chief ofthe patriot force
Van Rensselaer,.
He was taken to Buffalo, and instantly
bailed, and left here again at IL o'clock to
Join his command, which report says was
then struggling through ,he country, on
their way to point up the Lake, where it
is said transportation is in readiness to en-
bark them for the Canada shore, in the di-
rection of Detroit, about $50 strong. Lit.

BANKS.

Every day brings evidence with it, that
the democratic party have been, aud con-
tInue, TO be, right, on the subject Of banks.
They have beeu accused, by bank par
t'sans, OF making war upon the banks,
merely because they have insisted on what
every one knew, and what all are now con-
strained to acknowledge, viz. that the bank
ing system was defective, aud tina, the
guards aud checks intended for the security
OF the public, were altogether inefficient.
ihe msnner IN which banking institutisns
have, Tor eight months past, openly bid
defiance to those laws which operate on
all other portions of the community, OF cx-
er an Influence sufficiently powerful to
procure ensctmenls tn render those laws
imperative as respects themselves, and the
miserable condition TO which many Of
hem have reduced themselves, afford.

The Grand Jury of Alton have found bills
Of indictment against a number of individ-
uals concerned in the affair Of the 9TH OF
November, including those engaged in the
attack as well as defence of the building.
The trial of Rock, one of the assaiIants,
came on before The Municipal Court on the
4th instant. The jury returned a special
verdict that the defendant in their opinion
was guilty of the various charges laid in
the indictment, but that they return him not
guilty on question of jurisdiction.

Committee of the Pennsylvania Legislature
on this subject have reported bill entitled
An Act for the preservation of the health
and morals of children employed in manu-
factories" The bill provides that children
who are not able to read and write shall be
sent to school three months in each and ev-
cry year, while they are employed in facto-
ries; that no child of a less age than ten
years shall be employed in factory, and
that none under sixteen years of age shall

alties are imposed on parents and guardians
and also on employers, for any evasion or
violation of the law.

Successive shocks Of an earthquake have
almost totally destroyed the town of Aca-
pulco, while the gorgeous city of Mexico
itself was subjected to violent and proIon-
ged shock; happily however in the latter
instance no injury resulted. The details
oflhe earthquake at Acapulco are frighlful.
Repeated shocks of extreme violence and
devastation have nearly reduced the city to
mass ofruins.
The houses were overturned, and dashed
to fragments, the churches iirreparaby in

of deplorable CONSERVATION, and the inhab.

When the morning dawned. hundreds be-
held themselves houseIess, and reduced to
utter indigence. Fortunately for the safety
of the citizens, the destruction occasion ed
by the shocks was so gradual, AS to afford
them time to save themselves; hence the
loss of life was inconsiderable.

have the pleasure Of congratulsting our
citizens upon the arrival of a Newport
whale-ship with a full cargo of oil. This
long desired event has been consummated
by the ship ERIE, Captain DENNIS, af-
ter voyage of twenty-eight months dura-
tion; and although, from the quality of the
oil, it being mostly right whale oil, the voy-
age will not yield quite so much profit as
some that we have heard of, yet we deem
it worthy of notice for its singularty. We
hope that we shall have occasion frequently,
in future. 10 repeat our congratulations on
the occurrence of similar and more profta-
able events. We note this as No. I-where
we must always begin to count 100.

Mr.. Mercer then came in a. peacs-ma.
. ker. and introduced resolution binding
both of the parties mol to proceed farther
He considered them both as standing on an
equally honorable position as before the
difficulty, on the ground tha, The quantum
ofabuse gwen aud received was about e.
qually balanced. But the house seemed
disposed to LEI the belligereuts manage the
matter in their own way, ard they accord
ingly adjourned without taking question on
Mr.. Msrcer's resolution.
On Wednesday, the resolution Of Mr..
Mercer was laid upon the table withou,
much discussion. Mr.. Bell, of Tenn. NOV
ed that the resolution of the Special Ses-
sion, declaring thar Messrs. Claiborne aud
Gholson were entitled TO their seats be re-
seinded. This resolution is now before the
House, and with it one introduced yester-
day by Mr.. Bronson, of N. Y. stating that
Messrs. Prentiss and Word, not being MEM
bers of the twenty fifth Congress, ARE not
entitled to their seats. Mr. Prentiss of
Miss. one Of the claimants, addressed the
House at great length in defence of his
claims. Upon the opening of the Session
several messages were received from the
Departments and the Executive.
On Thursday, the resolution Of Mr.. Ad-
ans, calling for a copy of the pamphlet of
Mr.. Gorostiza, and the name of the minis
ter who communicated it TO the Secretary,
was taken up aud debated. At one O'Clock
the House took up the Report of the Com
mittee on Elections. on the Mississippi E.
lection. Mr.. Prentiss renewed his argu-
ment in support of the application. made by
himself and colleague.
On Friday, the Committee of Ways
and Means reported bill to amend the act
imposing additional duties on imports. Mr..

sufficient evidence that a reform il neces.
sary. Not reform to patch up rotten
concerns, and TO enable bankrupt specula-
tors to spunge enough to pay their debts
out OF the pockets of others, but one that
shall give us sound banking system, safe,
to capitalists, safe to the community, and
which will establish and sustain a whole
sone and safe system of credit.
However our opponents may speak Of us,
we are not, and never have been, opposed
to banks nor credit. Both are no doub,
useful, and the latter necessary. 1t is the
abuse OF the system to which we arc op-
posed, and we hesitate not TO say, that, un-
less they can be made sound and safe To
the community, by means of law, we had
better be without them, and suffer the in
convenience. But we contend that laws
may be enacted, which, if duly enforced,
would sufficiently guard the interests of all
concerned ; and nothing but the undue in
fiuence Of the banks, as they now exist,
prevents il.
The sum of the whole matter is, we
would lave banks devoted to the interests
OF The people, and not the people made
slaves TO the banks
