Al. WOODWARD returns his thanks to the
public for the unprecedented encouragement he
has met with in the manufac ture and sale of his
celebrated Polish, and at the same time wishes
it understood that he always keeps supply on
ha nd for wholesale or retail.
Experience has proved that this Polish is un-
surpassed for quickness in putting gloss on
boots and shoes, and also in preserving the
leather.
Persons wishing to oil their boots can use this
Polish with equal success Immediately after
wards; the leather should be rubbed as
the Polish is applied, before it dries.
The Polish can be found at the store under

Rev. Peter Doub read portion Of the
Scriptures.
Gov. Swain referred in touching
manner t" the physical prostration Of the
venerable President Of the Society, which
prevented his attendance at the meeting;
and he observed, in the course Of his re-
marks, that he had no doubt that Judge
Cameron looked upon his long connexion
with this Society with more pleasure than
upon all the Offices. important and distin-
suished as they had been, which he had
ever filled.
The Rev. Mr. Deruewelle, State agent
Of the Society addressed the meeting.
giving quite an interesting account Of his
labors in distributing among the people
the word Of God. He was followed by
the Rev. Dr.. Brigham, Secretary Of the
American Bible society. who spoke for
nearly an hour in relation to the operations
Of the Soc iety aud the vast benefits conferr-
ed by it in distributing the Bible both in
this and other countries. DR. Brigha NJ 5

our lack Of space to present to our readers.
The Rev DR.. Lacy then called upon
gentlemen. members Of tie Leg stature
present, to entertain the Society with re-
marks; whereupon the Hon. James c..
Dobbin took the floor and spoke for halt
an hour in his most eloquent and impress
sive manner on the subject of the Bible.
its elevating and refining influence upon
mankind, and the Importance Of giving
to it the fullest aud widest dissemina ton.
He was followed by Samuel F. Phillips.
Esq, who. though evidently unprepare.l
for the caH, spoke with his ACCUSTOMED
force and good sense upon the great caA6e
to sustain and advance which the meeting
had been assembled.
Gov. Sss@ia thew addressed 4, tt9,c meeting
He produced and read some documents,
prepared and issued by the Congress du-
ring our revolutionary struggle. showing
the feeling Of fdependence upon Almighty
God which possessed the minds and char
acterized the conduct of our forefathers;
and he attributed to this feeIing-to this
trust in an overruling Power-t to this de-
pendence upon Divine aid, the triumph
| which crowned our arms in that sreal
struggle. He said our liberties were
bottomed on the Bible. and they could no,
endure if the Bible should cease to BE-
circulated and read. Gov. Swain spoke
for some time in his best manner; and
when he had concluded, and after bene.
diction by the Rev. DIR. Brigham, the
meeting adjourned.
We are gratified to learn that there is
a growing interest in the Bible cause. and
that the prospect Of good from the opera

subject Of ''Access to an open Polar Sea
bya North American Meridian.' The
Hera1d says:
'.fhe basis Of DR.. Kane's plan Of opera

the hypothesis that beyond the icy barrier
which shuts out communication with the

suits will be looked forward to with deep
interest by the people Of the United States
and by scientific men Of all Countries.
From the London Times we learn that
there is to be another Arctic expedition,
headed by DR.. John Rae, under the auspi-
ces of the Hudson's Bay Company. This,
too, is to be for the most part an overland
expedition. The starting point is t" be
