ISTyRRUPTIse A MEETTNG-A corresp-
onaen. in the colums of the New York
Evening Post thus writes: "On .Sasur-
day morning last, at the usual religious
service of the Hicksite Friends, at Hes
ter Street Meeting House, Rachel Bar
ker Moore, Of Philadelphia. an eminent
minister of the society, travelling in unity
with her meeting at home, delivered an
interesting and lengthy discourse, setting
forth the views and doctrines of the Qua
kers in their original and practical char
acter. A large audience testified their
interest and sympathy with the speaker
by the most quiet attention to her SER
mon throughout.
Just as the meeting was dismissed a
man, whose physiognomy indicates the
governing principles of his life, whose
name is Richard Cromwell, rose in one
of the upper seats, and desired the atten-
ton of the audience, and said, He wish
ed those present to understand I'll at the
principles that had been elucdated by
the speaker were not the principles OF
that meeting
''ls there not some rule of discipline in
the society that will check tho rudeness
of such meuf If so, it would be well for
the meeting to take this case in hand
and satisfy the public that they do not
connive at such outrageous treatment OF
strangers who visit them in the love Of
the gospel"

mems chaplain, at Honolulu, in a rece-
Mt letter to tee Secretary of the Amer
ican Bible Society. states the following
pleasing incident: Recently japanese
steamer, the "Candinmorriah, visited
onr harbor on its return to Jeddo from
San Francisco. 1t is connected with the
embassy now visiting the United States.
Some of the officers Of the Candinmorrah
called at our depository, and was most
hapy to supply them with copies of the
Bible in the Dutch language. One of
the off GERS, the admirals secretary could
read both Dutch and English. lie re-
marked that he had heard of the Bible
but never before saw copy. He ap
peared very much delighted to become
the owner Of Bible. I opened to the
book of Genesis, and he read Genesis i.
l, in both English and Dutch. From

knowledge respecting the creation Of our
world, than he could gather from the lit
erature of the Japanese empire
