Anniversary Meeting OF the Board OF Foreign
Missions OF the Presbyterian Church, held
Mt DIR. Alcxandor's Church.
We were much pleased last evening to learn the
fourishing condition of the Foreign Missions of the
Presbyterian Church, and we thought, as we listen
ed to the eloquent remarks Of the reverend gentle
men, that IT the various religious denominations
would only cooperate with each other in these bene-
violent and Christian enterprises instead of waging
furious war, as they have hitherto done, on minor
points of theological doctrine, how much greater
honor would rebound to the Church and it's minis
ters.
DR.. MmIER, of Princeton, the Chairman of the
Board of Foreign Missions, presided After singing
an appropriate hymn, and fervent prayer by the
nerabe President, which served to attune the minds
OF the audience for the interesting exercises which

these Mr.. Dinneford engaged the Opera House for
vlso that he should have the right to hold it for
another month, by paying the second months rent
IN two weeks prior to the 18th day Of April. The
clause in the contract requiring Mr. Dinneford to
pay the second months rent (Which was the termi-
nation Of his lease under any circumstances,) two
weeks from the commencement, done for the
purpose OF giving me time to supply another tenant
before the expiration Of Mr. Dinnefords time, and
prevent the theatre being closed, and thrown upon
my hands with an immense expense of ground rent
and other liabilities, which unfortuitous circumstan-
ces have brought upon me- AT the expiration of
payment of his second months rent, and, from ne
cessty, was compelled to negotiate with Mr.. Dunn
bleton, who agreed to take the theatre from the LIST
paying the money Saturday, April 18th, at which
time told him (fr. Dumbleton,) that since last
night, FRIDAY evening) when the Bowey theatre
burnt down, MIR, Dinneford had demurred at giving
up the theatre; then gave HIM (Mr. DumbletonS
the agreement with Mr.. Dinneford, which, having
read, he paid me part of the money, and in the
course of an hour called and paid the remainder
At this time no money had been offered me by Mr..
Dinncford, since his first payment, so that had
been ever so much inclined to play double game
between the two parties alluded to, Mr.. Dinneford
kept it out of my power by taking care not to offer
the money required by our agreement. a
On the following Monday ,aMr Dinneford called
with of his friends, and rendered the months
rent, which, according to contract, should have
been paid two weeks earlier, which, of course,
could not nor did not receive.
1t WILL therefore, be seen that the assertions of the
Mirror are totally unfoundcd, and hereby solemn
ly protest that have in no shape or form received
one cont from Mr. r6nneford since the nav,uant IF
