RESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT


s. M. FELTON,, Esq, in consequence of con.
tinued ill-health, has resigned the presidency
of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad Company, to take effect on
the 18th of the ensuing month. The Board
of Directors have elected Mr.. Hinckley, OF
Lowell Mass, to fill the vacancy. Mr.. H.
is said to be we'll fitted for the position
The retiring president, Mr.. FELTON,, has long
been looked upon as master spirit among
railroad men, and during the extended peri,
cd that he has managed the affairs of the
Company its success has been proverbial.-
Mr.. Felton's salary was $4,000, not $4,000,
as heretofore stated. We may add that the
report that the Company had presented him
with $4,000, to bear his expenses in tour
to Europe was not true.

(From tie Spectator Marcel 49,


A great change has passed over the tone
of the House OF Commons upon Amerl-
can affairs. Last year every Minister
and almost every friend of peace dread ed
an American debate, certain that it wO uId
eXactrbate the ill-ttellng between the
nations. The SOulherners in the House
could not b. restrained from pouring out
epigrammalic abuse, The Ministry could
not be tempted into the f~aiutest express
sion Of cordiality, the Northerners were
taiu to content themselves with demon
STATIONS which, however unanSwerable,
still excited their adverSaries into still
more reckless speech. The progress of the
campaign has changed all that greatly for
the better. The House has at last become
convinced that the North must win, that
the American Republic, whatever its vices
or its toiblcs, IS destined to be a great
nation, that a quarrel with any great ma
ton, despotic or democratic, is not an
undertaking in which statesmen will light
ly engage, and that it is the duty Of all
not blinded by prejudice TO soothe away
the jealousy and suspicion so unhappiiy
awakened in the minds of the governing
class. With these convictions has come
another and even more effective one, that
it becomes us when dealing with a pow
orful State to adopt the tone which be-
fits equals, to listen as we'll as declaim,
to give the adversary fair credit for mo-
tives, TO make all these allowances men
so readily make for equals and with such
difficulty for interiors. The extent of the
change was most clearly shown in the
debate on Monday night. Mr.. Fitzgerald,
who opened it, and who under other cir
cumstances would have satirized everv-
thing American, from Bull Run to the

Sir
The increased facility of Intercourse between
these sister Islands which the Steamer "Clara
Rothe" affords, is likely to prove as favorable
in a social, as it will doubtless be, in a Com
mercial point Of view and in ]allusion TO the
former consideration, it is pleasing to record
the very agreeable and SumptuouS entertain
ment, given on Monday evening last at Mrs.
George Phillips, to a party Of Ladies and Cen
tlemen of ibis Town, by a number of sprightIy
and gentltmanIy young men OF st. Thomas,
who came over here to spend the Easter holt
days. Mrs. Philips, wife OI q. \ Philips LSQ.
Of that place, kindly consented to preside as
Lady PatroNess of the Ball, in which she aC-
quilted herself admirably, and with the efficient
aid Of her husband, largely contributed to the
success Of the evenings entertainment. Moth
ing could exceed the admirable order and re-
s~uIarity with which every thing was arranged
and carried out. The Music was good, the
dancing wasliyely and.continuouS, andapparently
fully enjoyed by those who love to "trip it on
the light fantastic toe" while the "Creaturo
Comforts" were abundant and Of The most
recherche order.
At the usual hour supper was served in q
style which reflected much credit on the lady
Hostess, Mrs. George Phillips; the finest
Champagne freely circulated, giving life and
animation to tbe~ scene and meIlowing the
kindly feelings of the heart, which found ex-
preston in numerous loyal and patriotic toasts,
after which dancing was resumed and continued
into the small hours of the morning. Between
four and five O'Clock, the party finally separat-
ed much gratiied by their enjoyment and high
ly pleased with the attention and gentlemanIy
urbanity of their entertainers, all no doubt,

Pastor of the Lutheran Congregation
Frederiksted.
Reverend and highly-respected Sir!

Reverend and highly-respected Sir!
1t is with feelings of the highest esteem and
affection that we, the undersigned, members Of
the Lutheran Missionary Congregation, present
you, on the eve of your departure on a visit TO
your home and country after a %sojourn of five
years amongst us, this our farewell address eX-
pressive of our high appreciation and grateful
Acknowledgements Of your faithful services up
to the present time. We are sure, Reverend
Sir, that we can in no way better reward you
for your untired zeal and devotion in the carry
ing out of your pastoral Duties than by praying
our Heavenly Father to take you and your
much-respected and amiable wife under His
gracious protection and that it may please
Him "whO measures the water in the hollow
of his hand; who maketh a weight for the
winds who rulest the raging of the sea, and
%stiIlest the waves when they arise" to guide
the vessel, in which you are, safely on her Voy-
age to the desired haven, where, with glad
hearts, we are sure, both yourself and lady will
greet those that are dear to you.
AS our pastor you have always been found in
the faithful discharge Of the duties of your Of
fee, while you have also discharged, we are
sure, other duties with the same zeal and per-
severance. We have to thank you, under God,
for the present more enlightened position to
which you have advanced the congregation by
the encouragement held out to them the
plain gospel truths preached to them, and by
the general government of the Church for
which a resident minister was so long needed.
For the young among us we also, in a very
particular manner, have to render, in the same
way, thanks for your answering attention to
the upholding and advancement of the Sabbath
School first established by the reverend pastor
Henschel of blessed memory. Here our child
rem are afforded an opportunity Of having their
minds developed and made acquainted with
scriptural truths in a simple and familiar man
ner so as to train them to understand the high
er duties Of the Christian religion taught in the
Church.
There are also those amongst us who have
to thank you for your l~iberality and kindness so
unhesitatingly exercised, both in private and
public, ever since you have been here; for the
temporal care which you have studied to pro-
mote in every particular within your reach
and for your sympathy with the poor and suf-
fering which we cannot sufficiently portray so
as to give a right estimate of them.
We mention these things, Reverend Sir, not
as empty praises to fill up our address, but as
the outpourings of grateful hearts whose every
aspiration breathes forth a prayer to Heaven
for your safe return to our island with renewed
health and invigorated spirits.
We cannot close our address without making
personal reference to Mrs. Water, to whom we
beg you would tender our grateful acknowledge
ments Of her unwearied attention and jealous
cooperation in the Church and Sunday School
