ner OF Twenty-nnth streetsand Fifth avenue, which

yention which has been In session for the last three
aays, the Rev. Dr. McCosh, President of the Prince
ton College made parting address 10 the numerous
assemblage that filed the edince.
Rev. ,r. Crosby presided at the meeting. and after
few remarks introduced DR.. McCosh, who spoke
very briefly He SAID that the spread Of the gospel
was one OF the most interesting and at the same time
most attractive CONCENTRATIONS aud works now
undertaken by the human mind. II was o special
work among the American people, ana they would
undoubtedly reap the fruits and benefits OF IT In
improved social and moral regeneration. The lerg-
est and most liberal efforts were being MADE here
and ia England to spread the light Of the Gospel,
with mcst encouraging success. TIE alliance OF the
orthodox Protestant Churches here and In France
and England and throughout the Continent was one
OF tne best and most encouraging signs OF tne times,
rengiousy speaking. The efforts TO pcrlect tnis
were seen In the fact that the fall OF next year would
see another convention assembled somewhere Ia
TINS anu that would tend greatly towards tue rcai
1aton .. tue great work they had all a. neart1tne
propagation OF the scriptures throughout all lands
Other speakers followed lay aud clerical, but tho
audience dispersed sooa after DR.. McCoshs blief

FIRE AT SEA.

On Tuesday evening last large vessel was burned
at sea opposite the village Of Bridgchampton, on
Long Island. The vessel was apparently about ten
miles from land, and the Are first seen at ABOUT
seven O'Clock p. NJ, lasting about four hours. The
scene from the land was awfully sublime. The vessel
was floating broadside TO land. The flames ilumt.
mated the heavens for miles around. Coored rockets
were sent up from the boats OF the burning craft or
other vessels In the vicinity as signals OF distress
The night was dark and stormy and o heavy sea
running, with strong northeast wind, 1t was i'm
possible to render any assistance from the shore.
The Gre was distinctly visible at Grecnport, proba.
bly, distance OF twenty-five miles.

MONTGOMERY, Nov. 10, 1868.
The first Alabama State fair held since 1850 COM
menced in this city yesterday II Ii largely attended

The number OF articles and stock exhibited Is far

mour 72.0S6 votes It Is estimated that at least

rope. Our clumsy wooden tubs cannot com
pare with the light draught, light hulled, clean
built and beautifully designed ships that spring
daily from the shores Of England and France
into the Atlantic and enrich those nations.
1t is true, also, that the decadence Of our
commerce is not entirely due to war, but rather
to bad legislation. Let the government freely
grant subsidies In aid of public prosperity.
When subsidy is given let it be stipulated
that the ships shall average certain rate per
hour and not burn to exceed a certain amount
of coal per day, while every ton Of capacity
shall carry certain proportion of freight. In
this way we shall get the great essentials to
perfect vessels-speed, economy Of transpor-
'tation and great carrying capacity. This will
force good naval architecture and put the best
steam feet on the ocean that can be placed
there.
Let Congress take this matter in hand at
once, for it is a problem filed with more inter-
est to the nation than any political one now
before them. Let US first reconstruct our COM
MERGE and it will be the most powerful aid to
national reconstruction.

Mr.. John Bright evidently intends to keep
ahead in the work of reform, or perhaps it
would be better to say in the work Of revolu-
ton, in England. We see by speech he de-
Ivered at Edinburg, before large assembly,
headed by the Reform League and United
Trades Council, that he advances rapidly to-
wards sweeping changes. He takes the
broadcast and most liberal views on taxation,
education and the land question. On the
latter he strikes boldly at the foundation Of
aristocracy, and advocates the adjustment of
the law of primogeniture, in order that the
lands of Great Britain may be more equally
and generally distributed. He does not
believe ssthat it is wise thing to sacrifice the
public interests to family pride or to the
notion that you must build up great families to
have great power, that they may exercise
permanent authority in great country" That
is surely laying the axe to the root of the
tree. These utterances, taken in connection
with the extended suffrage and the movement
against the Established Church, show that
England is undergoing mighty change and
that Mr.. Bright is going to be foremost man
In the inevitable revolution. Disraeli would
60 a long way, undoubtedly, to win popular
favor and to hold the reins of government, and
we may expect to see him bidding high for
that but Bright is thanking him, and in all
probability will be the most advanced revolu-
ZIONIST of the two. The 'aristocracy and other
privileged classes Of England are in critical
situation. The proud old monarchy and its
bulwark, the naughty aristocracy, stand on
the verge Of revolution.
