badly be carried into ctfect) that all business
be suspended in this city on the 22nd. 1t is
considered an excellent movement, Astounding
with generosity and patriotism, giving an
opportunity to ali to be present at the inau-
guration, and thereby present an humble
though heartfelt and grateful tribate to the
memory of Him who was first in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts of his country

IL The American Board Of Commissioners
OF Foreign Missions, on the second day Of its
sion, listened to a resolution offered by Rev. Dr.
Pomeroy, on behalf Of the presidential commit
tee, abiding to the smallness of the debt, COM
pared to what had been feared; to the extensive
revival throughout this country; to the religious
liberation in Turkey; to the end of the East India
CompanY's sway over India; to the throwing open
of China to civilization and christianity, and to
the success Of the Atlantic cable bringing distant
shores into instant sympathy.
The Rev. Mr.. Grout, of South Africa, and the
Rev. Mr.. Vrooman, Of Canton, spoke affectinQly
concerning the condition Of their m ssions. Mr.
Vrooman declared that China had been kept
closed mp until now because the church was not
prepared to christianize them. He thought that
three hundred and fifty thousand laborers could
be Immediately employed.
The board was addressed in the afternoon
chiefly by western men, all expressing confidence
IN their churches sustaining IL more fully as 1t
enlarges its operations. DIR. Anderson stated that
to continue operations without reducing the mis-
sions and cancel the present debt, the board
would need 500 Goo the coming year.

OF ONO, extending among other general laws of
Congress, the Fugitive Slave Law over that Ter
ritory, he astonished every democrat in Congress
by voting against the amendment, and against
the deW2cretic members, in company with Sew

the aostfact right Of the slave holder to a recia-
nation Of bis fugitive slave but, in avoiding to
vote at all on the original passage Of the Fugitive

over Kansas, he has shown his determination not

The WAR on STATEN IsLAND.-Some OF the
citizens Of Tompkinsville and Stapleton have
been alarmed and excited In consequence of some
threats which have been made by DIR. Thomp-
sons boatmen, to burn down the dwellings Of
such OF the citizens as participated in the de-
molition OF the Quarantine buildings and their
own houses. The people deemed it necessary to
appoint night watch to guard against any inva-
sion. The attempt to fire a carpenters shop
the day after the fire at Quarantine, has excited
the worst fears Of the Sapletonians, and they are
determined to keep bright lookout for the in
cendiares.
The Staten Island Chronicle establishment,
which is strongly suspected Of being in the in
terest Of the Health Officer, was moved up to New
York on Wednesday. The proprietors, fearing
that the Chronicle office might be destroyed by
fire, deemed It the best policy to remove the
type, presses, etc.
BY Collector Schell's orders, Capt. Rich, of
the Marines, returned to the Navy Yard on We'd
nesday, leaving only ten men as guard at the
warehouses.
