REV. HENRY GmEs.-In a recently
delivered lecture on the Psalms Of Da-
vid by the Rev. Henry Giles, the fol-
lowing beautiful passage occurs:
"Great has been their power in the
world. They resounded amidst the
courts Of the tabernacle they foated
through the lofty and solemn space of
the temple They were sung with glo-
ry IN the Halls of Zion they sung
with sorrow by the stream of Babel
And when Israel had passed away, the
harp of David was still awaked in the
Church of Christ. In all the eras and
ages of that Church, from the hymn
which first it whispered in an upper
chamber until its anthems filled the
earth, the inspiration Of the royal propli-
ct has enraptued its devotions and en-
nobled its rituals. Chorused by the
winds of heaven, they have swelied
through Gods own temple of the sky
and stars they have rolled over the
broad desert Of Asia, in the mathis and
vespers of ten thousand hermits. They
have rung through the deep valleys Of
1.-THE Alps, in the sobbing voices OF. tie
lforlorn Waldenses ). through the deeps
and caves OF the Scottish Coyenanters
through the woods and wilds of print
tive America, in the heroic halleluiahs
of the early pilgrims" ayl am

Upon this rapid increase of the savings

crease Of deposits was 81. 800, 900, and the
amount per head SIT. In the last seven
years the increase has been nearly sec. OOO,-
900, Of which q ,70O,OOO was in the last
year. The average per head Of depositors
seems not to have increased, owing to the
introduction Of five per cent ssving's banks,
which necessarily reduced the average
This large sum Of t33, 900, 900 saved from
the small earnings of operatives and work
people becomes an active capital for the
further employment Of industry, and the
prosecution Of local enterprises in which all
are benefited. The fund il invested about
one-third in mortgages on real estate. near.

The Independent Fire Company Again.

The Independent Fire Company Again.
Al the Gazette depends upon out
siderx to do its editing, it seems to
suppose that We do the same. Last
week it endcavored to explain the ap-
pearanee in its columns Of q very hon
cat and fair article on the Florence
swindle by asserting that n of its ed
itors was taken sick, and the article in
question slipped in without being read,
the senior editor not knowing enough
to reject it. 1.-THE bank" now does its
share towards filling the Gazette with
false statements, transparent fallaclcs
and impudent appeals on tho currency
question, whilst the Jersey Doctor and
Alderman Washburn do up the leaders
on Federal aud local politics. Believ-
ing that We are in the same dcplorable
plight a. themselves, one Of the par
mobile fratrum charges that an cx-edi-
tor Alderman (meaning evidently Al
dermsn llubbelD wrote an article on
the Fire Ordinance which appeared in
the Democrat of Monday. In justice
to Mr.. H.bbelI and ourselves We de-
clare that Mr.. Hubbell has written no.
thing for the Democrat since the early
part Of October, when his connection
with III ceased. The article alluded
to wa written by ourselves, and we
defy either or both Of the "genii" of
the Gazette with their Aldermanic
contributor at their back to answer or
confute . single position we assumed
therein. 1t seems to us very plain that
when the Ordinance expressly declares
that no man shall be a member of the
Fire Department until he has been ap-
pointed by the City Council, and when
the City Council has made no appoint
ments, there can be no present men,
bers Of q Fire Department. That De-
partment is vet to be organized, and
TO assert that because a man once be-
longed to ar Independent Fire Com
psny he 10 therefore eX oficio a mem
Der of the new Fire Department is a
piece ofsmartness Of which the Gazette
alone is capable. 1t, for its discovery,
deserve a hole with a leather medal in
it. In conclusion, we have only to
say that the statement hat the Inde-
pendent Fire Company was over incor.
porated by the Legislature is a gross
falsehood. The Gazette is now being
made the tool ola few designing men
who are laughing in their sleeves at the
ridiculous figure it is cutting before the
community. How sadly it has dete
riorated since poor Dawson died!

Tue PRoPosIrIoS To PURCHASE BRIrisH
NORTH AMERIcA.-Some Of our thin skinned
Canadian contemporaries have taken MIR.
Campbells resolution, recently offered in
the House. in serious earnestness. The Tor
onto Colo,ist 10 very mnch excited on the
subject, and relieves itself thus:
Commend US to American Free-Soilers
for matchless impudence, And commend
US especially to Mr.. Campbell, Of Ohio. for
the efrontery with which an opponent OF
Walkers Central American ferays. himself
proposes TO fillibuster north ward on =
Wholesale scale, The telegraph tells an al
most unintellieible tale Of Mr.. Campbelrs
effort in Congress yesterday. We gather.
no wever. that he proposes TO counterbalsnce
Southern extension by the purchase Of Can,
ada and the other British North American
possessions. and that, supposing the poor
Provinciaiists ready TO submit to the bar
gain and sale without n murmur, he prom.
ises graciously to admit them to a share in
the .squabbles at Washington. The mail
probably, will enlighten US upon the subjec,
in day or two. Meanwhile, we leave our read
ers TO cogitate upon the modesty Of this Mr.
Campbell and the territorial ab-temiousnes
Of his rabid Free-ooil compatriots. For our
selves we must say, that If our fate, individ
ually, be to be swallowed, boa constrictol
fashion, we prefer to pass into the gullet o
. Southern gentleman, rather than that O
