the late anniversary OF the British and For
eign Sailors Society, the Rev. Mr. Lawrie,
wesleyan Missionary from the South
Seas) said that he wished it were in his
power to say that English sailors were
the only persons who in other lands sunk
the Christian character. He had met
with a great number o fpersons, not sailors,
who acted in a way directly calculated to
disgrace the name by which they were
called. Many years ago he was dining
with Sir Thomas Gisboren-who was a
truly Christian English gentleman-at
Paramatta. An English philosopher was
present, who had visited New Holland
with the view of ascertaining what kind of
beings the aborigines were. He set about
examining the craniums ofthe blacks, and
having examined all the bumps on their
skulls, he pronounced them to be the our
ang outang species. He, (Mr. L. had
labored amongst them two or three years,
and a young man who had become the
subject of pulmonary disease was then dy-
ing, but dying a Christian. He invited
the Doctor to accompany him on the fol-
lowing morning, stating that he could
produce an argument quite new to him in
: his Investigations. He accompanied him,
, and on entering the room where the
: young black was lying, he (Mr. L. said

Savior. He then spoke of embracing
