The Rev. Dr. HAYES, of Hartford, having
Just returned from his visit to Greece, Turkey,
Syria, the Holy Land, &C., after an absence Of
nine months, gave an interesting account of
the condition Of religion in those countries, on
Sunday evening to an overlooking audience
in the Centre Church. He returned, he said,
to this land of pure religion, with far deeper
convictions of the inapprecIable blessings we
enjoy, and OF the great Importance ofpreserving
and extending the influence of our institutions,
an affecting account of the miserable condition
OF the countries he had visited, where the most
corrupt forms of religion prevailed. Greece,
especially, was impoverished by its perverted
Christianity, as may be inferred from the fact,
that there are more fast days in her calendar
than there are days in the year The Greeks,
vain, supersiticus race of bigots, extremely
jealous of foreigners, prove so intractable that
the American and British mission societies
have resolved TO withdraw their efforts and di-
rect them to sections of more promise. The is
lands and countries the Mediterranean, bes-
sed with the greatest natural advantages, are
all declining in population. He could hardly
believe himself as he now looked around, in
the same planet that he trod in Turkey, Greece,
and Syria. He was often led TO repeat during
his Journey, the salration Of America is The
hope Of The ,0orld. II we would evangeize the
world, we must save our own country. And
he brought back from this visit to the Orenta
Churches, a warmer esteem towards all demo
limitations, and he thought such visit certain
cure for narrow mindedness at home.

A London journal speaks in the following
terms Of the impression made on the Emperor
by the manners of the British Court
The despotc Car saw with amazcment and
distaste the stiffness and rigid etiquette of the
English Court What most struck and scan,
dalized the Prince of semibarbarians was the
want OF homage TO the sex, ladies being kept
standing in the persence of Prince Albert,
waiting on him like servants, and backing out
before him. He found that the spirit of gal
lantry, which has its decorum every where else,
was not allowed TO grace the highest circle
The superiority of rank to the soul OF manners
was what the Car could not understand. He
was so much of barbarian as to think that CHI
valrous homage to the sex would not derogate
from the loitiest station, and that what would
be rrdeness in the meanest peasant could not
consist with the true dignity ola Prince he
