EFFECTS OF THE REvIvAL.-The
usual return Of the prisoners committed
to take their trial at the assizes for
county Antrim, Ireland, has just been
made to the Grown solicitor and the
return is such as reflects the highest
credit on the population, for the form
is simply marked ".NH," there not be-
ing single prisoner in custody. This
state of things is, no doubt, chiefly ow-
ing to the recent revival movement in
this province. The Derry Sentinel
says: "Whsn the revival movement
commenced, it was stated by both
friends and foes, that time would test
its effects. Time has applied its test,
and the good work has not been found
wanting. In Derry, and in many 9th
er parts of Ulster, the additional relig-
ious agencies which were commenced in
summer are steadily continued. Church
es arc well attended. Some may have
lapsed into careless habits, but in many,
religious principle has become deeper,
and right habits are becoming stronger:
The river of Christianity flows on with
deep and silent course. Many testi-
moni.ls to the good effects of the revi.
val have been given by public men, and
we are happy to learn that additional
testimony Of a valuable character was
| given by William Armstrong, ESQ.,, ..
c., assistant barrister, at the late COL
Grain Quarter Sessions. Referring to
the small number Of cases on the calen-
dar: How is such q gratifying state OF
things to be accounted for 1t must be
from the improved state Of the morality
of the people. I believe I am fully
warranted now to say that to nothing
else than the moral and religious move
ment which commenced early last sum-
mer can the change be attributed. !
can trace the state Of your calendar to
nothing else. 1t is matter Of great
qualification when we see the people OF
this county improving, and l trust that
no temptation of any sort will arise by
which they can be induced to forsake
the paths of rectitude.' This testimo-
ny is exceedingly gratifying, especially
at time when some would represent
that the revival movement actually in
creased crime. 1t is a law Of the hui
man constitution that passive impress
sions grow weaker, while active habits,
which originated with those impressions
, grow stronger. So while there may b
less apparent excitement, while reig'
ious emotions may be less demonstra
tive, right principles are cherished, AM
right course is steadily persevered IN
! course that will have happy termin

As Fitzgerald concluded, I had no

above that indicated by its appear

ASTOUNDING DEFALCATIoNi
The late Treasurer of ermon a Defaulter to
the Amount of $4,000 or more.


In the House of Representatives, Friday
morning of last week, a resolution was intro
duced directing the Committee on Ways and
Means to investigate the account of the late
Treasurer of this State, and authorizing them
to send for persons and papers. During the
discussion elected by this resolution, an author
itative statement was made to the effect that the
late Treasurer was a defaulter in the sun OF
$4,000. This announcement sent a thrill
through the House. 1t was a novel thing for a
Vermont officer to be a defaulter, and but very
few members could be led to believe Henry NJ.
Bates to he the man In initiate ouch a crime
But the worst apprehensions are more than
realized.
Upon assuming the duties of his office, the
newly elected Treasurer, John b. Page, Esq,
found it difficult TO a settlement with
Mr. Bates, as the law provides. The late Treas
urer seemed unwilling to submit a statement OF
the States account with the several Banks. lie
claimed that there was a balance of but a few
hundred dollars at most, and that some of these
balances were in favor and others against the
State. Upon being pressed for a settlement he
promised to attend to it in a day or two, or as
soon as he was able on account of his health
A delay of several days cnsued, and in the
meantime Mr. Page learned that there was a
balance due the Bank of Brattleboro by the
State of about $4,000. This fact reused his
suspicious and led to prompt measures to secure
for the benefit of the State such property us
could be found in the hands of Mr. Bates and
in those of his bondsmcn. In consequence OF
this fact being made public, and as Il result oil
letters of inquiry addressed to the principal
Banks, it appears that the State of Vermont i,
owing the following sums of money, borrowed
by the late Treasurer. and Of which no account
can be found i'm tho hanks of bis oNica.

KING CoTToN.-The Boston Courier gives
us a dissertation upon the Cotton trade and
Slavery, and would reconcile us to the latter
because of the Importance of the former. But
does not the Courier believe that we should
produce a great deal more cotton under n sys.
TEN of free labor than under slave-laborP The
Courier, going back two or three hundred years,
teaches us that material good can be derived
from moral wrong whereas, there never was a
case where moral and material interests were
