The Reverend gentleman's exposition of
the circumstance and personal influences
which have impressed on the Chinese
race, It's distinguishing characteristics dis
played a learned grasp of his vast sub

the present condition of Chinese society and in
dividual character. Our report of the lecture is
unfortunately excluded by press of other matter.
81 In another column will be found a full
report of the boat voyage made by Captain
Halliday and part of the crew of the ship
Noryal." This voyage is worthy to take pro-
minent place in those Annals of the Sea-
which are read by young and old with equal
avidity. At the same time it should not be for
gotten that though these brave men saved their
lives, they have lost all their worldly possessions
they had with them on the ship. The occasion
is one which may well evoke an expression of
sympathy in the form of a substantial bounty to
these waits from the sea.

With the numerous toasts which were drunk
here was q good deal of speech making, much
above the average of what is generally heard on
