There were about 25¢0 persons assembled at 10 0’clock in the Tabarnacle, yesterday morning, to celebrate the anniversary of this valuable society. Of these at least 2000 were females. As usual, most of theclergymen who were to occupy # ats on the platform, came in late, disturb. ed the meeting, and made such a noise in reaching their seats, that it was very difficult to heara single word of the annual report. Hon. T. Faeyiincaursen took thechair and organized the meeting. The Rev. Mr. Pomeroy delivered a beauti- ful and appropriate prayer. The reports were then read from which it appears, that the society have collected during the last year $96,249 63, This is more than the collected last year. They have expended $15,000 in send- ing tracts to foreign lands. They have expended $12,450 in dis:ributing tracts throughout this country. Over 13,000,000 of pages of printed matter have been circulated during the last year in this country ; and of this over 6,000,000 fave been circulated in this country by Colporteurs connected with the society, on the French system. And the total number of pages of religious works circulated during the penyeey have been 80,906,600 ; making a total of 157,480 volumes. The report went on to state that the great struggle here- after would be, between the Catholic and Protestant reli- gions. This would be the last struggle. And this coun- try would bethe great theatre of the contest. The at ‘estern part of the United States would be the field of Waterloo in this matter ; here the Catholic and Protestant wers have to meet at last, and fight the last great battle r religious supremacy, and the contest will be a bloody ene; and the artillery of the press, and the cavalry corps ef Protestant Colporteurs will ultimately be the means of putting down the power of the Pope of Rome forever in this land. (Applause. In order to effect this, the Society havo engaged as Col. prrteurs, Methodists, Baptists, Fresby terians, Luthorans, iscopalians, and every denomination of Protestant Christian: The Rev. Mr. Ho jionary Seminat TON, seven years principal of the in Ceylon, rose to offer the follow- resolved, ‘That a well-directed Christian Press is an in- valuable aid tothe living teacher in nominally christian and pagan countries ; especially in furnishing material for thought to heathen minds, in instructing the young, in training up native teachers and assistants in ovangel. ical labors by the way-side, from house to house and on missionary tours, and in giving permanency to the influ- ence of the Gospel. He without the rer religion cannot be properly promulgated abroad. India lies in darkness and the sha- dow of death. True, she has much of the learning of England, but it is not accompanied with her religion. — ¢ press can disseminate the latter in a most rapid and wonderful manner if it is placed in the hands of ¢) sionary. The press is a grout labor-saving pewer, and thereforeought to be used particularly in India, where, though the missionary may stand the summer's heat, \the rainy season, for atime, yet ultimately he must aink under the toil, if unsustained by the ‘The Rev. Mr. Kincaip, who has been thirteen yearsa Missionary in the Burman Empire, then rose and said— The efforts of the Societ: greatly blessed in the Birman Empire. He had before him a few tracts printed in the Burmese language, by presses established on the Banks of the Rangoon and Irra Waddy Rivers. With these as hisonly friends he had often been in Burmah during the last twelve years, 600and 700 miles from any Christ or civilized family. These were given him by the chority of the American Tract Society. He had dis- tributed 2,000,000 pages of these in every hamlet and vil- lage of the Birman Empire ; and by them many had been converted to God; fromthe mouth of theIrra Waddy to the Hill of the Mountains in Central Asia, over 1000 miles. He gave but one tract to 100 that applied for them. People asked if the money spent in distributing tracts was not thrown away. He could show it was not. A Mis- sionary could not talk with one man for days and weeks, but he could give a tract, and that would convert thou- sends. Thousands had read his small tracts and brought them back to exchange them for larger ones until they were able to read the New Testament. Onetract was worth fifteen fellow missionary laborers in that field.— The first male Convert in Ava was brought to a know- ledge ofthe truth as it is in Jesus, by reading a single tract; and he became a fellow laborer of mine in the work of the Lord; and though he was a gentleman he often carried a bundle of tracts on his back for twenty miles. Again, a son of one of the mighty chiefs ofthe mountains was converted by a single tract. He would not read. They had no written language till the Missionaries came amongst them. This chief’s son came to Rangoon, a distance of 250 miles trom his own home. A misslonary’s wife tanght him to read ; and in 48 hours he readthetractthrough. He wasallecstacy. He wanted to take a lot of tracts home to the mountains. He filled a basket two-thirds full of tracts, eovervd them with plaintain leaves, put sugar on the top of them, and so reached the gates of Ava. The officer at the gates searched the basket, found the books, and the noble chief ’s son was condemned to be a Pagoda slave ; the worst kind of slave- ry; for it is perpetual. At the intercession of the Mission- aries, at last he was released ; but he was determined to have the books; and he smuggled a basket full on his back out of Ava, and reached his home in the mountains, 300 miles off. He preached the gospel there, and convert- ed thousands to Christ. He was aman of influence, the people flocked from all parts of the country to hear him. And in one year 1500 natives were baptized in Arracan, aaconverts tothe Lord. And all this was done by one lit- tle tract! That tract cost one cent! Oh! whose cent was that? It was given in thiscity! Who gave it? He who sittcth in Heaven alone can tell. Perhaps it was the widow’s mite. But, oh, it hassaved hundreds of souls from the power of Satan! Who, then, will say after this, what is the use of distributing tracts? May the Lord bless the oan of the society te the full conversion of the Heathen. men ! * Dr Scupper, for twenty years a Missionary in South- ern India, next addressed the meeting. He rh) he loved the Tract cause for the great good it had done at home and abroad. What a glorious company of souls troduced into the Kingdom of God! In India there was a literature of the most licentious nature. Its influence was seen every where. That assembly would be so shocked if he would recite the songs sung in the temples of In- dia that hundreds would start from their seats in disgust. In this country, although the press was licentious enough, there was too much of the savorof heaven in the to allow of its universal influence. But in India it was not so. The land was saturated with the literature of the Devil. The living preacher could notso effectually stem that destructive torrent, as the printed page. It taught again and again, and not unfrequently ite glorious effects had been seen. And here (holdin wooden God) is one of the Dagens which have fallen before the literature of the Bible. He naver went into the highways and by- withou publications of that Society. He al- with him. It was the great de- the people to think, and tracts doing so. Dr. 8. dwelt at length rtance of educating the youth of Pagan lends He had distributed probably 100,000 trects. Heh ad of- ten made an extensive tour for the pu of distributing them. He chosen some convenient place where,the peo- ple could cemeto him. In large cities he was surround- ed by immense crowds, and the “native helper” examined how many could read. He himself meanwhile occupied himself in addressing himself to the souls of the people — [Dr.8. here gave aspecimen of the songs sung by him to the Hindoos, by which their attention was aroused to histeachings.) Dr. 8. went on to relate several interest ing anecdotes illustrative of the beneficial effects of the circulation ef Tracts in India. The following hymn was then sung by the choir and the audience :— EXCELLENCE OF CHRIST. O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth, Which in my,8avior shine ; T’d soar and touch the heav’nly strings, And vie with Gabriel while he sings, In notes almost divine. 1’ sing the precious blood he spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin and wrath divine : I'd sing his glorious righteousness, In which alf perfect heavenly drevs My soul shall ever shine. Td sing the characters ho bears, And all the forma of love he wears, Exalted on his throne ; In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, T would, to everlasting days, Make all his glories known. Soon the delightful morn will come When my dear Lerd will bring me home, And I shall see his face : ‘Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity 1’) spend, ‘Briumphant in his grace. The Rev. Dr. Nevin, President of the Theological Se- minary of the German Reformed Church, Mercersburgh, Pa.,next addressed the meeting. He moved the following resolution :— &-That the Emigrant German population of this country, Tapidly expanding in every direction, forms a moat inter- esting field for missionary action ; a field eminently open to agencies employed by this Society, and to which God is challenging the earnest regards of the American chur- ches. The Doctor was rather prosy, and was heard with a good deal of uneasiness. The ladies chatted, and criti- cised the young pre hers on the platform, and mado very etty servicable fans out of the large handbills contain- Ing the programme ofthe proceedings. fio people, said Dr. N., were more deep, spiritual and rofound than the Germans. ‘They were not to be judg t spiritual even to on the im y their rough exterior. ‘Th myst Then, again, the n mind was £0 plas: tic. There was no nobler field ¢! thet presented by the German population of this country for the exercise of the energies of that society. ‘The Rev, Dr. Lyman Bescner moved the last resolu: tion, which was: — That in the present conflict of spiritual religion with formalism and infidelity, the rpees must not be left to the control of theenemy, but its power must be wielded in ny The resolution was 60 in, he said, that it needed no arpamian to enforce it. When he looked at what was do- ing for religion by the prest, he wondered that the devil did not despair, and give up his business asa bad job, (Laughter.) He spoke of the Tract Society as one emi nently calculated to break down sectarian prejudices, and enlist Christians of all denominations in the great work of the conversion of the world. ‘ ,_ (Here, the Reverend Mr. Kinx, who had been standin, in one fot the aisles, which was quite too obscure spor the platform. He was elegai dressed in a fas) made suit of black, and with a beautifully arranged white neckcloth. As soon as the Reverend gentleman made his appearance on the platform, where he stood with his arms folded, and his head gracefully leaning against one of the pillars, quite a sensation was created amongst the female portion of the audience in the neighbor ‘ofthe rostrum. ‘Ah! there is Mr. Kirk.” “Oh, where?” “Ah! it is the dear creature!” “Aint be handsome?” and such like exclametions, were heard whispered around.] Dr. Bexcuer went on to speak of the vast mportance of eirculating tracts amongst the German and Irish Catho- lic population; the prospects were already most encou. raging.

The anniversary of this socicty took place at the Ta- bernacle last evening. The audience was rather thin compared with seme of the meetings, owing probably to the unfavorable state of the weather. The chair was occupied by Henry Dwight, Esq.,the President. The Tressurer’s report was read by Jasexn Connino, Esq. The total receipts during the last year had been $100,304. The Rev. Mitton Bapaer read the report of the Exe- cutive Committee, of which the following is a condensed abstract :— The number of ministers of the Gospel in the employ- ment of the Society, during the year, has been 848. Ot these, 623 were in commission at the time of the last an- niversary, and 225 have since been appointed. During a greater or less portion of the yeer, the Gos- pel has been preached by the missionaries to 1,047 con- Sregations and missionary districts. ese laborers have been distributed in twenty-four states and territories of the Union, and in Canada and Texas. By comparing these statements with the Jatt Annual Report, it will be seen that there have been important ad- vances in the ‘accomplished by the Society. It has had in commission 57 more mission! than in any other ear of ita existence. These have labored in 60 more elds, and 63 years of labor have been performed more than in the 12 previous months. Another fact, which re- s the policy of the Committee, is that 64 more labor- an in apy former year, have been stationed in the great valley of the West, towards which our increasing population is forcing its way, with an impetus which no temporal embarrassments have had pewer to check.

W is re. membered, that a mighty struggle for the possession of that rising empire is drawing nigh, and that Romanism and Infidelity are there concentrating their hosts for the coming conflict, the increase of missionary laborers in it part ofour country, is a matter of special congratula- jon. Thenumber of pupils in Sabbath Schools and Bible classes is not far from 68,400. Encouragement ef impor. tant aid in this department is held ont to the missionaries by the liberal offer from the American 8.8. Union, and the Massachusetts 8.8. Society, of gratuitous appropria- tions for libraries. ¥ The impulse communicated to the cause of temperance during the previous year, has extended its influence into the last. 6 Committee are especially gratified to learn from the statements of the missionaries, that among the thousands who so suddenly assumed the vow of total ab- stinence from intoxicating drinks, the cases of apostacy are exceedingly rare. The number of persons thus jledged, in the communities connected with our missiens, Th not far from 146,000. The productiveness of funds invested in the Home Mis- sionary cause, continues to be seen in the returns which are annually madeto the treasury of benevolence, from the fieldson which they are expended. In 308 of those fields, the aggregate of charitable collections is $18,000— brome about 40 per cent. on the sum appropriated to em.

The subsequent receipts have been $99,512 Si making the resources of the Socie- ty for the year $100,904 13. This is $7,849 20 more than the total receipts of the year preceding. Atthe beginning of the yeer, the unpaid claims of mis- sionaries for labor performed amounted to 912,706 90; und there has since become due to them, and for incidental ex- penses, the further sum of $95,088 26, making the liability ot the Society for the year, $107,823 51.
