making some remarks upon the striking similarity
between the ancient Hebrews and the Hawaiians.
The sermon aimed 10 exhibit the Lessons taught
by the deoh Of the Young Prince, and under
several heads. the preacher sought to show that
the hand of God should be recognised in this event
that human plans gre all vanity and uncertainty
that life is at best short and feeting-that there is
always danger of our setting our affections too strong
ly on earthly things-and the great truth that
death comes alike to all, high and low, rich or poor.
Each point was appropriately illustrated with refer
ence to the present calamity, which has befallen
the Royal Family of this Kingdom. The audience
manifested a deep interest in the sermon by the most
marked attention, and we wished that the voice and
earnest appeals of the preacher could have been
heard by not only by our King and Queen but by
each of the chiefs. He took a hopeful view of the
future, and closed his discourse with the following
lines from one of Longfellow's poems, entitled,
' Resignation"
Let US be patient! These severe Affections
But oftentimes celestial benedictions

TRAIN on THE DERBY.-On our fourth page we
i-sert a portion of one of Geo. F. Trains latest
in which he exhibits the corruption and
RIGHTEOUSNESS of the Derby Day, as it is called. A
part of the speech was devoted to Lord Brougham-
We omit. This speech On the Derby places Mr..
Train in Il new light before the public, who judging
from his speeches alone, have supposed he was a fast
young man, leaning rather TO the ways of the world,
than to the ways of his fathers, morality. and the
of revealed religion. The exhibition of
,hese traits will draw n still larger audience TO his unri-
vailed speeches. We do not, by any means, endorse
Ill he says. Indeed some of his later speeches, de-
ivered since his trial, are so numerically severe and
bitter agains; certain classes in England-generally
he ruling classes-that they cannot De read with
,ut exciting some regrets thai he should have made
hem. This last speech on the Derby Day, however,
s gospel truth and will do good wherever read.
