Curious Things.

We attended the meeting of the American
Board the other day, at New Haven, and in
our quiet way watched The PROCESS o fevents.
at that noted anniversary. We saw some of
the most curious things, and cannot forbear
gratifying our readers with Some of the know
leGge thus picked up.
1t was quite curious, that anti-slavery men
were so entirely forgotten. There were a
great many committees nominated-and on
each of these committees were very many
members. But in no one instance, was a
solitary individual placed on committee who
was known as an abolitionist. 1t was quite
singular that out of more than one hundred
committee men, the presiding officer could
not even think Of one abolitionist, who was
fit for nomination. We do not say that there
was any thing intentional in all this-neither
do We affirm that abolilionists are fit to act on
committees. We only allude to the fact, as
rather a curious one.
Side by side with that fact, we must also
mention, that quite a number of Southern
Observation-Disclosures for aught any body knows
-Were placed on committees, and were in
vited to take a prominent part in the various
religious exercises. We do not assert that
the presiding officer knew that they were from
the South we only put the two things side
by side as quite curious.
1t was quite curious, too. that the gentle
men on the platform. some of them at least,
seemed to feel themselves entitled to insult
those brethren who were not on that elevated
situation. Thus we observed that when our
friend Mr.. Perkins, was offering some re-
marks not quite paIateable to certain individu-
ais, he was twice rudely and insolently adj
dressed by persons who were on the platform.
1t was curious, too, that the presiding officer
did not hear these insults, and did not call
the gentlemen to order.
1t was curious. too, that several pa rites
there present, seemed to have forgotten their
relative positions and duties. A common OBJ
server would naturally suppose that the Sec
~retaries were the agents and servants of those
who appointed them; and that the Secreta-
ries and Prudential Committee were subor-
dinate to the Board. But all this was most
curiously reversed. The Secretaries were
dictators-they dictated the order of exercises
they put forward or kept back Business
they threatened and bullied the Board, when
there were certain propositions for investi-
eating the state of the missions. DIR. Ander-
son very solemnly declared, ''that The Secre-
taries will not go with you; and will never
attend another annual meeting," II certain
proposed measures Shoulu ne pTuseculeu'-
Indeed. the Chairman was a mere puppet, re-
ceiving directions, and taking all Commit
tees from the Secretaries. Indeed, the Board
was very much in the position of the old
French parliament, who were called together
merely to register the edicIs of the King
The Secretaries handed in business and pro-
posals to the meeting-then these same Sec
~retaries handed to the President the names of
the committees who were to report on these
propositions--and, Of course, these commit

"Unhappily tie patience Of the unfortunate
Irish is at length exhausted. We have now
before us that most appalling spectacle of ma
tlonal agony people drirea 10 desperation
by lie pahgS IF hunger, and Drawing a violent
death rather than endure the bitter iormenls
of a more lingering dissolution! After sus-
tanning the direct woes of starvation with a
most noble fortitude. after pining in their ho-
wells under an accumulation OF all human mis-
cries, penury, inanition, neglect and despair,
and after bearing these extreme sulferings
with a meekness and a tranquility beyond all
praise, the laborers of Ireland have been task
ed TO the utmost limits of endurance, and have
now risen against their more %aflluent neigh
bors. Towards the conclusion of last week
a slight glimmer of the approaching insurrec-
ton was observable in the vicinity of Crook
haven, where a vast concourse Of the emacia-
ted peasantry assembled together in the viii
Iage of Golen, to proclaim that their wretch
edness was no longer endurable. The sullen
anguish depicted on every one of these mel
oncholy faces is described by an eye witness
to have attested sufficiently the extremity OF
their distress. "a more appalling spectacle
could not be Witnessed" writes one cores
p%ondent. Want and despair were the per-
vading Characteristic of the multitude. That
dark promise of violence and INSTRUMENTATION
has been fulfilled. AT the very commence
ment of this week, namely, on Monday morn
ing, the peasantry at Dungaryan assumed
such IA threatening aspect, and congregated
together in such dangerous numbers that the
militiry were called out, several shots Were
fred upon the mob-many Of the starving
rioters We're wounded. and on Tuesday twl
of them died from mulilotion. BY the con
text of this miserable intelligence from Wa

other missiles were hurled at the dragons
