tended. Soon after the meeting assem-
bled, Joseph John Quincy, a minister of
the society, engaged 10 vocal prayer, and
after an interval of silence, stood up and
commenced most eloquent and deeply
impressive discourse, with these words {:
- am not ashamed of the gospel OF Christ.
II affords me at this moment lnexpreSsible
comfort TO be enabled to make This decia-
ration before such an assembled multitude
and continued his discourse more than
an hour, proving, in the ciearest manner
possible, from the holy scriptures, the doc
trines of our holy religion, and earnestly
exorting his hearers to search the scrip
lures, daily, and see if these things are
not so. He clearly set forth the faith OF
the Society of Friends, in the eternal d.
vinity of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
He may truly be said to preach Christ
and him crucifcd, and that in manner
elninentlv calculated to make On impress

after marriage, being imPeIled to the ia
tai deed by discovering that her husband
was a drunkard.
The sense of degradation that would
fall upon her household, and the sad pros
pect OF the misery and wretchedhess she
would be obliged to suffer at the hands o.
one in whom she had reposeI unlimited
confidence, with whom, in an evil hour,
she entrusted her happiness, and by whom
she had beentoo grossly deceived, proved toe
much for her tender sensbiiities, probably
dethroned her reason, and hurried her 10 a
premature grave.

MORE FRONTIER TRoUBLE.-Tht
Rochester papers Of the 4lh inst, bring
information OF IA strange affair at Brock
vile, Uppe: Canada. The steamboa
Telegraph, while leaving the wharf a
that place on Friday night, was fired in
to by the militia, stationed at Brockvilie
and although nobody was hurt, soVera
balls left traces of their progress.-N Y
Spec.
The following particulars are from n
Rochester Daily Advertiser.
Captain Chids, of the steamer Tele
graph, states that on putting into Brock
Vile, or rather while there, he was abou
10 o'clock on Friday night fired into b
the Queens militia, stationed at that place
From fifteen to twenty shots were free
four OF which we know to have struc
the boat. An ounce ball passed thro' th
ladies' cabin, near the centre, bare v miss
ing the chambermaid. who was standIn
by the stove. 1t must have been a mar
row escape, judging from the holes in tn
wall compared with the position of tn
stove. II was known at Kingston that a
attempt to destroy either the Oneida Q
Telegraph was 10 be made that night, bu
the former passed without calling on then
The Telegraph was fired on till out
reach. which was not long, as the engIn

The officer commanding the guard
Rockville attempts an excuse by sayIn
that the men had mis-apprehended his OF
ders, which were to fire muskets into tn
air as a signal, provided any suspicion
boats should approach. The degree
suspicion that justly attaches TO the TeIe
graph, may be learned from the fact, thu
her bell was sounded trcice, as is custom
airy at that place.
