w. e. Robinson being in Connecticut during the
recent canvass, took active, and. as it proved
very successful part in support of Wing principles
and particularly in commencing the Wing cause
to the favor OF lrshmen. His zeal and fidelity
awakened the wrath of the Loco Foco leaders. who
acted on the assumption that all lrishmen belonged
body and soul to their party, and were of course
bound to vote the Loco Foco ticket Efforts were
made to destroy the influence OF Mr.. X. by the
basest attacks upon him since These efforts,
however. were singulariy futile and only recoiled
on the heads OF their authors. On Monday evening
last large meeting was held in New Haven OF
the friends OF MIR. Robinson. comprising persons OF
different political parties TO rebuke bis calumnia-
tors and bear testimony to his worth. The meet
Ing was organized by the choice OF Mr.. Richard
Burns. - Chairman and Of Mr. William Downes,
- Secretary, and addressed by Messrs. John Rob
inson and Prot. Waterman of Yale College. and al
% by Mr.. J. +. Bsbcoek and VIM. A. Goodwin, the
latter propo ing nine cheers for Mr.. Robinson.

An EpIscoPAI. CHucH has been opened in
the city of New York, Gas free church and
a mission chapel for the Jews" The place OF
worship formerly belonging to the Church oil
the Redemption, has been obtained for this
purpose, and is to be called The Church Of The
Circumcision.
In noticing this fact, the Protestant Church
man SAYS
1--WE may now say that no class of the pop
ulstiou Of this city is overlooked by our Church,
but that she has made provision for all. The
10000 seamen have two places OF worship
provided and supported as free churches, in
which they may hear the tidings of redeeming
love. The 10000 colored people have also
two places of worship, in which they may
assemble 10 offer their praises TO the Most
High.
For the French population there are also
Two places and the German one, in which
they may hear in their own tongue in which
they were born, "the wonderful words OF
God ,"while the blind are gathered and through
sense of feeling taught also 10 utter the praise
OF God. Now, as last remaining duty 10
supply the spiritual wants of the only class
not especially provided for, the 10000 Israel
lies of this city have place of worship open
ed for their especial accommodation, in which
they may hear the prophets explained, and
the evidences Offered which prove that the
Messiah has come"

PRESSURE OF THE sEA.--lf piece Of wood
which floats on the water be forced down TO a
great depth in the sea, the pressure of the sur
rounding liquid will be forced into the pores
Of the wood. and so increase its weight that 1t
will no longer be capable of floating or rising
to the surface. Hence the timber Of ships,
which have foundered in the deep part OF the
ocean never rise again to the surface, like those
which have sunk near the shore. A diver
may with IMMUNITY plunge TO certain depths
of the sea; but there is limit beyond which
he cannc live under the pressure TO which he
is subject. For the same reason II is probable
tina, there is depth at which the fishes cannot
live. They have. according to JosIIN, been
caught in a depth at which they must have
square foot of the surface of their bodies.

There's joy for the young.
There's dream for the old,
Far brighter than sunligh,
Can ever unfold.
There's bloom in the heart.
Where bright hopes are amass'd
As il revels in Joy
Der the Dream OK the Past
There's vision that lights
On the minds inward sight,
AS ruoonbeams fall gently.
When gathers the night;
And its radiance, like starlight.
Though the sky be o'ercast,
Is the light OF the soul
When i, dreams ofthe Past
There is hope for the mourper.
As life wears away,
For the scenes OF the past
May be present o-day.
Though the heart may be scared
By adversity's blast,
Yet there is JOY in the soul
As it dreams OF the Pas,l
For Oft when the coldness
OF friendship we mourn,
To the friendship Of youth
We all trus,fully turn;
When the smile on our soul,
Though too fleeing to last.
Is a smile on our youth
Ills dream on the Pas,l
Youth points TO the Future,
And hope cheers him now.
For the Rainbow Of Promise
Encircles his brow,
Age turns the dial,
Az time fleeteth fast,
But he points with smile
As he dreams Of the Pasti
The Poet regards not
The Presents acclaim
He locks 10 the Future
For praise and Tor fame
Yet his heart while il throbs,
And hopes on TO the last,
Is cheered by one thought
