REV. B. F. NADAL.--This clergyman, of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. who is at
present On a visit to Europe for the benefit
Of his health, is thus referred to in connec-
ton with the Wesleyan Conference, in a
letter in the Methodist Protestant, dated
England, Aug. %:
A minister from your city, Rev. Mr.. Ma
dial, attended the Conference on the Thurs
day before it broke up, and appeared to be
deeply interested in its proceedings. AS
soon as the address to the Methodist Epis-
copal Church was read, Mr.. Nadal was re-
quested by the President to give US a speech
which he did TO the great qualification oil
the Conference. He minated pretty plain
ly that we were not up to the proper stand
ard Of usefulness and zeal in this country
al spent,' he said, "the last Sabbath ia
London, and what did | see and learn there
Why, there was a population Of two and
quarter millions and only 5000 Methodists
whereas in the city Of Baltimore, with
population of only 100000, we have $1,000
Methodists." saw Mr.. Nadal through
the day at intervals, in earnest conversa
ton with Drs. Bunting and Newton, thu
Revs. w. Arthur and w. II. Rule, name
well known in America; and doubtless h,
win have not a little to say of these eminen
men on his return to Baltimore.

LoSeEviTv OF QUAKERs.-The late Gen.
sus returns in England reveal the singular
fact. that the average .uge attained by this
peaceful sect is drty,one years two months
and t%weuty-one days, while half the popu.
lation of this country die before reaching
the age of twenty-cne. and the average du-
ration Of life the world over is but thirty
three years. The Quakers, therefore, live
a third longer than the rest Of US. Their
temperance, prudence, plenty, want of pas
sion, and general repose of character, are
undoubtedly, favorable DO longevity.
