We extract from the Philadelphia Morning
Posts New York letter of Monday afternoon,
the following interesting paragraphs;
Last evening, the Rev. Mr. Reed of this CT
ty, delivered a sermon before the New York
Bible Society, to vast audience, which crowd
ed the Tabernacle. 1t was an earnest, eloquent,
emphatic defence of the Protestant version of
the Scriptures. which the American Bible So
ciety crcuates, but which the Catholics pro-
nounco both mutilated and spurious.
Rev. DIR. Bacon addressed the Foreign Evan
gelical Missionary Society in one ofthose pow
erful and profound sermons, for which he is so
emnently distinguished. The exercises were
held in DR.. MasOn's church, in Blocker street
Rev. Mr. Boardman, Of the Walnut 81. Socc-
ty in your city, delivered sermon before the
Presbyterian Board Of Missions last night in
the Grand street church. 1t was an accom-
plished and eloquent discourse, but excessively
bitter against the Catholics.
The lnfidels held a National Convention yes
terday in the Coliseum, on Broadway. The
number present was nearly 400, but the cool
ness, if not effrontery with which they assem-
bled and organized, exctes no little sensation
They propose TO protraCt their slttings three
days, that they may act cotemporaneously with
the great Religious associations of the country
during the week. Robert Owen, that old sin
ner, is an active member of the Convention; his
example leads the young and the old into des-
pairing nfdelity.
Tomorrow the American Anti-Slavery So
ciety holdsits annual meeting in the Taberna-
cle Three or four eminent speakers are an
nounced, but most conspicuous, is that old
scold, Abbey Kelly. imagine there will be
much vigorous and powerful speaking, for some
otthe anti-slavery orators are hardly surpassed
IN the country.
In addition to all the various other meetings
held in this city, the colored men are holding a
Convention to devise ways and means to get
the "property qualification abolished, which
almost precludes their voting. At one Of their
meetings last week, number of coored men
spoke very effectively and with great power.
The runner that Sir George Simpson, who
came out in the Caledonia, will proceed to Ore
gon as Governor, seems to strengthen. He
has no official position in Canada but after a
hurried visit to Washington to see the British
Minister, he returned and went directly up the
North River to Montreal. His wife and SER
wants went on in advance of himself, with an
immense amount of baggage, stopping at the
Troy House, while | was in that city. The
English gentleman in company with his fami-
ly, spoke with great freedom and boldness, of
Oregon, and insisting upon it that Her Majes-
ty would defend as well as exercise jurisdic-
ton over that territory.
Green, the reformed gambler, visited the Au-
burn State prison the other day, and had an ill
terview with man sentenced for murder. He
found out that the csnvict was formerly on the
Mississippi and knew Green when he was
gambler. At first, Green did not recognize
him, but after some explanations, he detected
in him an old associate, one who escaped mar
Towly with his life at Vicksburg. This mans
present name is Watt. He was taken, with
four Others, and one thousand lashes inflicted
upon them. They were then covered with tar
and feathers, aud set afioat in the Mississippi,
bound hand and foot, in the broiling sun
Three of them died in a few hours, but Watt
recovered, and was taken on shore by some ne
groes. lie says that not less seven murders
have taken place in consequence of the vicks-
burg treatment of the gamblers. That he
was tried and acquitted in one case, but an in
nocent man was hung, while he escaped =
Green's narrative of the facts is thrilling.
