! of the Almighty was with him by diYi-
ding and passing over the River Jordan,
and next by commanding the sun to stand
still over Gideon, ard the moon in the
Valley of AjaIan. He then showed that
the miracle had been performed at
time OF great emergency in as much as
Joshua and all Israel would not have
beer hemmed in amongst the mountain
passes. with which they were wholly un-
acquainted. and put to the route by the
enemy against whom they were then en-
camped, had not the light of the sun and
moon been prolonged.
1t was somewhat unfortunate, be said,
that TIE Book of Jehon, which according
to JosePhus, contained a minute record
'ol what had occurred to the Jews from
wear to year, and also of the particulars
OF the extraordinary miracle, should have
been lost, as it most probably was at the
dertsuctlOn of the temple ;but still it was
matter of thankfulness that we possessed
the written evidence of both the Chinese
and the Egyptians, in addition to the
Scriptures, that disturbance of the sun
had taken place. The date of the CHI
nese account correspondent with the Is.
raeiitish. The Egyptian account Meth.
er gave the date nor the motive, BUTT
furnished that which was still better, be-
cause it was the only point wanted IN or
der to establish tie act OF philosophical
principles. 1t gave us tho observations
of the effect produced on the Sun by the
miracle: in other words, it gave US the
course of the Sun during the miracle;
and those three testimonies taken toeetl,-
er were amply sufficient to solve the
problems, the difficulty Of which had baf-
fled philosophers, in all ages. The lee
turer then proceeded to show that if
Joshua had asked, what sceptics general
~ alleged he ought-for the earth to
stand still, there would have been a gem
eral deluge caused by the oy elflowing of
the ocean, and that in asking for the sun
to stand still (Which it always does,) he
was simply asking fort the light to stand
still-light being the primitive word for
sun. He there fore simply requested
prclongation of light from both sun and
moon; and the phenomenon was produced
without interfering with the esrth's rota-
tory motion for moment. The lectu.
rer promised to in troducc the diagrams

the LETT OF the French, and in this quar-
ter the battle ragged most fiercelv. At
about nine In the morning, of the 18th
OF September, the French advanced
briskly the charge. and the action soon
became general. The English reserved
their tlre until the French were within
forty yards, and then gave it with terri
Die effect. Wolfe was wounded in the
wrist. IN the commencement Of the ac-
ton. put he betrayed no symptoms of
pam; and, wrapping a handkerchief
round his arm. continued to encourage
bis men. He was soon after wounded
IN the body; but he still continued at
the head OF the troops. Whilst pressing
on with his grenadiers, with fixed bayo-
nets, a third ball piel ched his breast
lie was now carried to the rear, and the
army, burning for revenge, continued
the action under Monckton. who, being
soon alter wounded, gave the command
to General Townsend. Murray now
broke the centre of the French army,
and the HIghlanders. with their broad
swords, completed their confusion, and
falling on them with resstIess fury drove
part OF them over the st. Charles. and
the remainder into Quebec On the 18th
the city capitulated to Townsend, and
the French power in America was crush
ed. Montcalm received mortal wound,
and was carried into the city; and Sene-
zurgus, the second in command of the
French, also fell in the battle.
General Wolfe. who expired in the
arms OF victory, was only thirty three
years of age. He possessed those militia
ry talents. which. with the advantage of
years and opportunity of action, TO mo-
derate his ardor, expand his faculties,
and giving to his intuitive perception and
scientific knowledge. the correctness of
judgment perfected by experience
would have placed him on evel with
the most celebrated generals, of any age
or nation After he had received his
mortal wound, it was with reluctance
that he suffered himself to be convened
to the rear Leaning or the shoulder of
lieutenant, who kneeled down to sup
port him, he was seized with the agonies
of death; nut hearing the cry, They fly!
they fy!' he reused himself, and asked,
WHO tly?' 'The French was the reply.
Then | depart content,' said the dying
hero, and almost instantly expired. A
death more glorious, says Belsham, is
nowhere to be found in history. Mont
calm was worthy to be the oppo-
nent Of Wolfe. lie had the truest mil
ltary genius Of any officer whom the
French had ever employed in America
When informed that his wound was n. or
tai, he replied, Il am glad of it, On be-
ing told that he could not survive but a
few hours, SO much the better he re-
piled; Il shall not live to see the sur
render of Quebec
Five thousand men, under the COM
mand of Murray, were placed as garri-
son in the city, which, at the time of its
capituIation, contained about ten thous-
and souls; and the British fleet sailed
out of the St. Lawrence.
II. de Levi, the French general at
Montreal, made several attempts to re-
take the city, but without success-and
in 1850, Montreal was taken, and all
its dep enjencies. Henceforward Cana
da became British province.

turer commenced by stating that the phe-
nomena he was about to illustrate were
recorded in the 10th chapter of Joshua,
and 18th verse, the Goth chapter Of Sec
cond Kings, and 10th verse, and the
30th chapter of Isaiah. and 9Th verse; and

Hannibal Crossing the .Abs.-One of
the most wonderful events related in his
tory, is that of Hannibal's crossing the
Alps, with an army of many thousand
men, pbout two thousand years ago.
At that period, Rome. city Of Italy,
and Carthage, city of Africa, were at
war. Hannibal was the Carthaginian
general, and, being in Spain with bis ar
my. he determined to lead them into TIA
ly. He, accordingly, crossed the Ply
rennees, and entered France in his
march. But, nowthe Alps, the loftiest
mountains IN Europe, lay between him
and Italy. They were not only many
thousand feet in height, but their tops
were covered with perpetual snow and
ice. There were no roads over these
cold and desolate regions, and no gener
al mad ever before thought of leading an
army across them.
But Hannibal was bold and enter.
prsng man. He did not follow in the
footsteps Of those who had gone before,
but struck out new paths for himself
He carefully examined The mountains,
and, while lie thus saw the difficulties,
he felt sure that they could be overcome.
1t must have been strange and inter
esting sight to have seen the soldiers
climbing up the steep, shaggy sides of
the mountains, creeping along the dizzy
edges Of the preclpices, crossing the
dark and narrow ravines, and ascending
and descending the deep and slippery
glaciers. 1t must have been curious to
have seen the elephants, of which there
were several hundreds attached to the
army. climbing over the lofty peaks of
the mountains. 1t must have astonished
the inhabitants of Italy TO have seen the
vast army, after crossing barrier resar-
ded as insurmountable, now pouring
down upon their smiling plains like all
overwhelming torrent. and spreading the
terrors of war on every hand.
This achievement of Hannibal has ev-
