The weather was very pleasant, and an unusual number of persons were enabled to attend religious service who had been debarred the privilege for many months. Foundry Chapel.—Dr. Edwards (the ores dongs coursed toa large audience at 11 o’c 5 from 16th verse of 5th chapter of the P James: ‘The effectual ferveut prayer ofar ghteous man availeth much.’ The Doctor commenced by saying that the connection in which these words are used designate the cases in which prayer availeth, viz: “For the sick; “for those suffer'ng affliction,” &c. The subject which pre- sents itself to the reader of the text is “‘the efficac of prayer,” by which is meant that prayer which brings us Sone 5 ey God which would other- wise be withheld, and often in answer to such petitions gifts are bestowed, even greater than were craved in the requests. Prayer to be suc- cessful depends on certain conditions—first, the pect must be the prayer of a righteous person, for, says the Psalmist, the prayer of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord. This, of course, does not exclude the penitent sinner, far from it: for everywhere in the Scriptures the sinner is in vited to God, and bi rayer if offered in faith shall prevail. Blessings are often bestowed upon the wicked, but they are all conditionally be- stowed, to accompiish some good end ‘hen, again, prayer must be earnest and fervent, in ch we mean all that we say and crave all that we ask for, and it must not be prayer compelled by usage. We are all capable of emotions which We cannot express, such as extreme joy or grief, leve or hatred. &c. Earnesthess is engendered in | | yer by feelings of want and hope; for the mind cone earnest in jts solicitude, and 28 the hunted hart or fever parched lips long for the cooling water, so the soul often panteth after its God. “Examples of earnest pra’ are found in scriptures, viz: Wrestling Jacod;* Cyro, Phani- cian woman; importunate widow, &c. Then prayer, ia order to be successful, must be --for things thatare in accordance with the will of God We are taught to pray for pardon of sin, and for regeneration of the heart, and all spiritual bies- sings; temporal blessings are also often obtained by prayer, but prayer for temporal blessings are often vitiated by the motive which prompts these - There should always be, when asking for temporal blessings, due subordination to the will of Ged.

Truman & Draper were destroyed, which requires correction in justice to those enterprising and deserving gentlemen. On what seemed to be the best information then ob- tainable, we said we were informed that one or | two young men, in the temporary absence of the | engineer, were stirring up the fire under the hoiler when a puff of wind coming down the | ebimney blew the flames outward from the | mouth of the furnace, thereby immediately ig- | niti the shavings that were lying about in quantives much too great for the most. ordinary caution.

As the expedition was crossin the equator, a French ship of war met them wit! the alarming intelligence that hostilities had probably already commenced between England und France upon the subject of the ‘Turkish- Egyptian treaty.

Fortunately, however, this cloud of war was dis- pelled, and he proceeded on his way unmolested.

The Prince has two cbildren—Frances Marie Amelie, born in 1844, and Picrre Philippe, Duke de Penphiore, born in 1545. The previou sit of the Prince de Joinville to this country was wade on the 22d of September, ittt, when La Belle Poule, a double banked frigate ef sixty guns, and the brig La Cassard. the same which formed the expedition to St. Helena, both under his command, entered the New York harbor, tired a salute, which was returned from the North Carelina, and came to anchor off the Batter At that time the Prince was described as ‘rather a goed looking young man, about twenty-two years of age, somewLal above the middle hight, of clear, Olive-tinted complexio: vice, except that a star adorned his left breast.

That was to be expected, probably because he was an appointee of the last board; but they also removed Mr. Fisher, a lock- (above here) for 15 years, and a Democrat bis life, only to make room for an active politician.
