| Fl. Ncwhall preached funeral sermon on
, Brown in the Warren street Methodist church.
! Roxbury. There was large congregation
! Tie selected for his text And Samson said
set me down with the Philistinrs. And he
bowed himself with al his might; the house
, fell upon all the lords, and upon all the peo-
pile that were therein. 50 the dead which he
slew at his death were moro than they which
! he slew in bis liie."-Judges, l6 80
The speaker, in commencing, condemned
the institution of slavery. It could not, in
whatever light it is looked upon, be for mo-
ment c"untcnAnced by the Bible He raid
that if it could be proved to him that the BIZ
bic countcnanced slavery. that moment he
should disbclcve its inspiration and if II
should be proved that God sanctioned it, ten
he would be an Atheist. The slaves in tho
South were too much under their masters
domination to know and fear God their priv
ilcgcs were restricted to nothing
The speaker cXtolled Mr. Brown 10 the
highest terms. He was equal to tie patriots
of the Revolution, and was most devoted
Christian. Mr.. Brown believed that slavery
was an evil that should hc resisted, and had
himself first laid down his life rs martyr in
the cause OF Freedom
A CONGRESSMAN IN THE PULr,T i. is
announced in several OF our secular exchang-
cs, that the Hon. Edward Stanley, Of Califo.-
na, is about to become u candidate ior Holy
Orders. Mr.. Stanley is a gentleman of mark
ed ability. Many years since he was a Rep
rcsentatve in Congress from North Carolina,
and Oh taking lis seat was, we believe, the
youngest member in the House His readi-
less in power and debate soon placed him
prominently before the House and the coun-
try. His familiarity with plblc affairs, his
position as II lawyer, his reputation "a an ad-
vocate, and the rich aud varied experience
which such career must have accumulated,
cannot Iall, when cousecrated tu the high du-
ties the Ministry, to cxcr. WIDE and snlu-
tary influence. 1t il hopeful sign of the
times, when men Of Mr.. S:auIry'g "a. Der can
