The New CANADIAN COMA comparison of.
the new Canadian silver coins with American sill
yer coins, made at the United States mint, shows
that while the standard fneness Of the Canadian
coin is n little greater than ours, its weight and

SLAVE AucrIoNs.-The Sunday School Adcocate
(Methodist) for January Doth has a picture of q
slave auction, together with some very pertinent
remarks by tho editor, or some of his contribu-
tors. This is following up nobly the blow struck
in publishing the Child's Anti, Slavery Book notice
ed in our last. None but the guilty can object.
iutst exposures CpHC iull lalc LOT the SAFETY OF
MethOdism. Already our people have learned to
live among such denominations as slave auctions,
and not reprove them. Our Christianity il adap,
ting itself to slavery-it is living and propagating
