Extempl raneous Preaching

The h,dependenf, in is leader OF
the 9th inst quotes from the recently
published Journal oftho Queen Of Eng
land passage ia which Her Majesty
bears royal testimony to extempote
preaching aud thereupon proceeds
as follows
This is the only royal preaching
All sinners, from sovereigns to beg
CARS, are more moved by it than by
the best Of Sunday morning essay
reading. One sermon preached from
a brief is worth three sermons read
from a manuscript, We hope Con,
gress will lay as high II tax.on SER
mon paper as on whiskey-in con-
formity with Napoleon's rule, that
the vices should be taxed high. Forty
pages OF sermon paper are a grave
cloth which fastidious pulpiteer
wraps round the Gospel to bury it
alive.
"The difference between young
lawyer and a young clergyman is
this: the one fans his native spark by
speaking; the other smothers it by
reading. Let a young minister whose
emptationis toward man scripts tum-
bic an armtul of them into his study
fire. They will brighton his eyes
with a sparkle that will flash new
luster upon all his subsequent preach

sermons, but trembles at the living
voice"

The Eamine in AIgiers.

Dispatches from Algiers continue to he ii

wide spread and sharp and in the splendol
valley Of the Chelif, in the heart ofthe grain

to March. The sides of the road are pi ed

Trials for murder and cannibalism are Of con-

lives for chicken or a quart Of corn. The
account Of a trial has Just reached Paris

a retired spot to feast in peace upon his
sc nty but precious booty. His stealthy
movements attracted hungry ewes he was
followed aud surrounded whilst devouring.
by a troup Of iamished Arabs, who threw
themselves upon him to obtain his food.
Ben Ali drew his knife and battled like
madman for his galetfes. Il gigantic, skill
ful fighter, he killed Diilali at the outset
and wounded and laid dying at his feet
two other men. But numbers 0verp0wered
him. and a dozen wretches at asst secured
his cakes and fled, leaving Ben Ali with
many a bleeding cash upon the ground be
