THE ANNlVERSARIES OF THE RELIGIOUS
SOCIETIES IN NEW YORK CITY.

A few days ago, the readers of the Union were
promised synopsis of these interesting meetings,
and we accordingly commence by spreading before
them this evening, an account of the proceedings Of
the New York (city) SUNDAY School UNION, made
up from the report of the New York Express. That
paper describes the afternoon session as follows:
''The Broadway Tabernacle was filed to overflow
ing, yesterday afternoon with the children belonging
to this Union with all their banners and badges and
vast assemblage of the friends of the cause Az
ter hymn, beautifully sung by the children, ac-
companied by the organ, the Rev. Mr.. Haines, of
Harsimus, offered prayer, and an address was
made by the Rev. Mr.. Abbott to the children. 1t
was brief, simple, and admirably adapted to the oc-
casion
"Among the most prominent objects Of interest in
the Tabernacle upon this occasion the children
of both sexes belonging TO the Protestant Half Or
phan Asylum; the boys all dressed in gray SUITS
and the girls in purple rocks with white aprons and
green cape bonnets, their simple blue banner eeva-
ted among hem and their teachers sitting with them
Some of the banners belonging to the different
schools were very beautiful, and their notices were
appropriate and well selected.
"After the brief address Of Mr.. Abbott, another
hymn was sung by the children and their teachers,
accompanied by the organ, the whole congregation
standing"
From the annual report, appears that the society
has LOT Sunday schools among thirteen different
denominations; with 95l male and 1896 female
teachers. They teach 1917 male and 1886 female
pupils, making total Of l4,95s scholars. The
expenses of the association for the year 81 $780,
and the libraries of the society contain 49, lie vol
umes. Several animated, eloquent, and interesting
addresses were made, explanatory of the objects and
good resulting from the operation of this noble
charity.
At the 9th anniversary meeting Of the FoRErcS
EvAseELrcAL SocErr, in New York city, on the
9Th instant Dr. Baird gave abstract Of the annual
report, from which learn that the society has la
bored principally in Catholic countries. Near

We are indebted more than we can describe, to the
democratic press Of the Union for thousand kind
things and good wishes which they have expressed
about US on debut upon the boards of this
metropolis. We cannot specify all, and we cannot
single out any one from all the rest. Our modes
ty, indeed, should forbid us from republshing any,
whilst our gratitude would prompt us to acknowl.
edge ALL (and how many there are!) who have been
kind enough to make honorable mention Of "The
Union" We are duly sensible, also, Of the liberal
reception which the wing press, generally, has been
pleased to give us. We have indeed undertaken q
perilous task at sour time of life" as they call it, but
Gas this mornings Richmond Enquirer truly re-
marks) we are not quite as much stricken in years
as even some of our democratic friends have
described US. One press says we are 60, another
10, and another says even r. If they had gone
up to rs, they would have described, we hope, our
principles more accurately than they have now
related our age. Whatever be our age, however,
whether our opponents or our friends with whom
we have not the pleasure of being personally ac-
quainted estimate it by the revolutions of the earth
round the sun, or by the very comfortable French
philosophy of temperament, trust we are not too
old to discharge the important duties we have as
sumed, or to defend the rights and interests of our
country.

torial acquisitions, our alleged ambition. She for
gets that we but wish ~ reacquire Texas, which
was once ours; and to assert our just rights over
Oregon. She "remembers to forget" too, her
own ambitious and Unsuitable thirst for power--the
commercial points she has acquired--the territory
she is constantly acquiring in the East. In that
quarter of the globe her spirit Of aggrandizement is
forever at work, and, year after year, adding State
after State and kingdom after kingdom, to the circle
of her extensive dominions. She acquires Afghan
stan, Scinde, Punjaub, &C., &C., to her extended
possessions and, at the time she affects to be
horrifed'at the annexation of Texas to the United
States. We shall repubsh the portrait which is
drawn Of her Carthagenian spirit Of acquisition, by
Mr.. Gushing; and, in the mean time, repeat the
striking view presented by MIR. Bowlin, of Missouri,
in his late speech in Congress. BY means Of Gibral
tar, she commands the entrance 10 the Mediterranean,
southern Europe, and northwestern Africa by Mall
ia and the lonan islands, the Archipelago, Egypt,
and portion of the Turkish empire; by ST. Hell
ena, the South Atlantic; by the Cape of Good
Hope, the south and southeast coast of Africa up
to the Red sea. Thus, in the words of Mr.. Bow
lin, "surrounding this whole continent, at every
available point with her Notifications from Malta to
Capetown;" by the Isle of France, the Indian
ocean; and by Hindostan and the island Of Ceylon,
the destiny of southern Asia, from Persia to China,
and the Indian ocean to the Black seal by her pos
sessions in the bay of Bengal, the empire of Bur
nah; and by Australia, she has key to the whole
commerce of the Indies. Upon our own coast, she
surrounds us with chain of military possessions
extending from Nova Scotia to Bermuda, in the lat
itude of Savannah and Trinidad near the continent
Of South America. To complete her power over
North America, she endeavored to obtain the Sand
witch islands; and some century before under Drake,
a foothold upon the possessions Of Spain on the
shores of the Pacific.

FRom THE KocKY MoUNrAINs.-The st. Louis
Republican announces the arrival of the expresses
from Forts La Platte and Laramie, to the American
Fur company. II is stated that the weather had
been unusually mild and dry, and that only twice
had snow fallen on the plains of sufficient depth to
make good seighing, and very little was reported
on the mountains. The hunters had been very sue
cessu at Fort Platte; but at Fort PIERRE the sur
rounding praires, far and near, were burnt in the
fall, and the buffalo had been driven off for want Of
food, which had operated very unfavorably to the
hunters. The informant left Fort Platte on the 9th
Of March, and rode on horseback TO Fort George
where he arrived March 29th. At that place he
found the steamer Frolic, which was to leave on
her return ten days after they left, the river having
risen about four feet. They embarked in canoe
in which they descended to Weston, where they
found, and took passage on, the steamer Ohio After
leaving Fort George the river began recede, and
fell more than it had risen, and there scarcely
more than two and half feet of water in the chan
mel at various places which they passed

The proceedings of this annual meeting were rich.
We extracted sufficient, few days since, to give
the readers of the Union specimen of the tone and
temper of these fanatics who have devoted--we
do not know how many--days to talking treason and
viifying the Christians and Christian institutions OF
the land.

"When Mr.. Adams became President OF the United

administrations but il forgot to state, that the act to

BRITISH MOVEMENTS.

just as our paper is going to press, we find the
following as the concluding words to an article in
the London Times of the 10th of April, which,
coming from that source, may be considered as
meritng attention:
"When we reflect on the difficulty of transport
ing even party of settlers across the whole CONT
nent of America, on the impractcabity of opera.
ting beyond the frontiers of the Union, either to the
south the west and the mpossibility of reach
ing the Columbia by sea except in time of peace,
we are disposed to regard the actual danger Of an
attack on our settlements on the Oregon as purely
usory; and zoe haze doubt that long before this IN
feligence reaches the forts the coast Of the Pacific,
they ,oiH hare been placed by Sir G. Seymour, and the
squadron under his command, in Efficient state o,
defsnce.n
We may add that other limitations of the same
nature are thrown out, though more obscurely, in
other numbers of the Times for the past month.
