wish to exaggerate the description OF this
deplorable religious condition Of our col
ored population. We know that instances
Of true pety are frequently found among
them; but these instances We all know to
be awfully disproportionate to their num-
bers, and to the extent OF those means OF
grace which exist around them. When the
missionaries of the cross enter a heather
land, their hope of fully chTiss.anising it
rests upon the fact that they can array and
bring to bear upon the minds Of these chill
dren of ignorance and sin, all those varied
means which God has appointed for the re-
formation Of man. But while the system
of slavery continues among US, these means
can never be efficiently and fully employed
for the conversion Of the degraded sons Of
Africa. Yet "God hath made them Of one
blood" with ourselves; hath provided for
them the same redemption, hath ia his provi-
dence cast their souls upon our care, and hath
clearly minated to us the doom OF him,
who ''seeth his brother have need. and shut
teth up his bowels Of compassion ssasa,bim. T"

hands when we attempt TO convey them the
breath Of life, and which inevitably consigns
the great mass Of them to unending perdi-
ton, can we be guiltless in the sight OF
Him who hath made US stewards of his
grace? ITO be Contjnued.)

The affairs Of this institution are advanc-
ing in most satisfactory manner. The
east wing Of the noble edi6ce is almos, ell
tirely completed, excepting in regard to
heating and lighting; and the west wing is
enclosed, and its accompanying tower car
ried up, which presents quite a picturesque
appearance. The smaller lecture room,
that in the east wing is also completed, in
which it is expected there will be course
of lectures delivered on various subjects
during the coming Winter, by distinguished
gentlemen. The valuable chemical and
philosophical apparatus, recently presented
to the Institution by DIR. Robert Hare, Of
Philadelphia. has been received and depos-
tied in the east wing. The value of this
donation We know not how to estimate; bu,
it may be mentioned that it was packed up
in about one hundred boxes, and that
schooner was chartered for the especial pur
pose Of bringing it to Washington. Many
Of the articles have value far greater than
that of their practical application. since they
are connected with the history OF the pro-
gress of physical science in our country.
We have also been examining. and with
renewed pleasure, the recently published
volume Of the Smithsonian Contributions
to knowledge" Its literary merits have
already been discussed in the Inteiligencer,
and all that we now have to say is. that il is
superbly printed and illustrated in the high
est style Of ant. The appropriate motto to
this work is taken from Smithson's manu-
scripts, and is as follows: "EveTy man is a
valuable member Of society who. by his OBJ
servations, researches and experiments, pro-
cures knowledge for men" ltis intended
to form the first Of a series OF volumes. con-
sisting of original memoirs on different
branches of knowledge, published at the
expense and under the direction OF the
Smithsonian Institution.
The object Of the Institution - so: K
publish separate books, but series Of guar
to volumes. consisting Of separate memoirs
similar to the ordinary transactions OF learn
ed Societies. 1t so happens that the frs
volume consists OF single memoir the mex
volume, however, will embrace member o
papers on different subjects. Arrangement
are already being made for transmitting
copies Of this publication to the more distin
guished Societies of the world, among whic
may be mentioned the Royal Society o
London, the Royal Academies Of Science o
Berlin, Munich, Stockholm, Paris, Naples
Florence, Copenhagen, aud the lmPena
Academy Of St. Petersburgh. Copies vii
also be sent to the principal scientific an
literary institutions Of our own county,
This publication. it will be remembered,
INTENDED for the increase Of knowledge, an

facts, new thoughts, and new principles

Al Pint Of Ale and a Newspaper.

How strangely the value of different
things is estimated in some minds. A few
grains Of toasted barley are wetted, and the
Juice squeezed into a little water, with a
taste OF the leaves Of the hop-Plant-the
value Of both being too small to be calcula-
ted; and very slight tax is laid upon the
mixture, which costs also so little labor as
hardly to be reckoned in our coinage. A
pint of this sells, retail, for fourpence; and
If of good favor, it is reckoned cheap and
we'll worth the money; and so IT IS. IL is
drunk off in minute or two-it is gone.
On the same table on which this was served
lies a newspaper. the mere white sheet
Of which cost one ny-farthing, and the
duty thereon one penny, withno deduction

les made ready for sale, and charged too
with carriage from mills and stamp-othce a

million Of types, at cost OF thirty pound
for itself and other sheets printed at tn
same office the same day; and this sells 10
no more than the pint Of ale. the juice OF
little malt and hops And yet after on
person has enjoyed it, affording him new
from all parts Of the world; and usefu
thoughts on all that interests him as ma
and a citizen, it remains to be enjoyed D
scores Of others in the same town or els
where; and it promotes trade, and inds en-
ployment, and markets for goods, and cal
tons against frauds and accidents; and sui
iects for conversation; and there are SON
who think this article dear, though Il
