fying, especially when we remember that

last dates. Our abundant crops, when
considered in connexion with our indebt-

THE LONDON CONVENTION.

I have been waiting to get at the most
condensed, which should be at the same
time an accurate report, of this meeting
and have waited until the present paper is
too much filled with other matter to ad-
init any considerable amount under this
head.
The following resolutions on Church
Discipline, touching this sin, were intro
duced by John Angel James. of Birming-
ham, 3au,hor of the Family Monitor,
Church Members Guide, l believe, and
other works published in this country, and
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the deliberate and
deeply-rooted conviction of this Conven-
ton, which it thus publicly and solemnly
expresses to the world, that slavery, lii
whatever form,or in whatever country it
exists, is contrary to the eternal and i'm
mutable principles ofjustice, and the spir-
it and precepts of Christianity, and is,
therefore, sin against God, which &C
quires additional enormity when commit
ted by nations professedly Christian, and
in an age when the subject has been SO
generally discussed, and its criminali;y so
thoroughly exposed.
Resolved, That this Convention cannot
! hut deeply deplore the fact, that the con
tinuance and prevalence of slavery are to
! be attributed, in a great degree. to thu
couutenance afforded by many Christian
churches, especially in the Western
, World; which have not only withheld
that public and emphatic testimony agaIns
the crime which it deserves, but have re

ON THE DEATH OF J. B. TJRRILL.

Farewell, dear child, for thou art fled,
while weeping friends thy loss deplore)
To slumber with the silent dead,
Until the resurrection hour.
Alas he's gone in youthfulsbloom,
Beyond deaths gloomy vale;
We've born that loved one to the tomb,
Where grief can him no more assail.
Oh! could we raise that collins lid,
And view once more that face so fair,
Where a dazzling intellect was hid,
Beneath pensive brow of care,
Our aching hearts it would relieve,
To meet the Iustre of that eye;
But murmur not, though deeply grieved,
That one so young, so kind, should die:
For there's a season nil h at hand,
When we shall meet him in the sky,
! To dwell forevea in that land,
Where tears are wiped from every eye.
