Price Two Cents, deavoring, in the name of the usurper, tu sedace the troops from their allegiance, Paris papers of 26h ult ,with ourusnal private core respondence, have reached us, but their contents are of little interest. The Court will go into mourning for the Duke of Sussex on the 2d of May, for IL days. A Couneil of State was about to deliberate on the amnesty to political offenders, which was expected to be granted on the occasion of the King’s fete. The Tonion journals state that Ibrahim Pacha, the sonof Mehemet Ali, was about to visit that port, bis object being to examine the arsenals, dockyards, and ports of France. The rumor ot the retirement from office of the Ministers of Commerce and Public Works turns out to be premature. So far from resigning their portfolies, these gentlemen have various credits for their respective depart- ments before the Chamber of Deputies. The dis- armament of the French fleet is proceeding at a rapid pace. Besides considerable reductions at Toulon, the number of steamers in the Mediterra- nean were likewise to be diminished, five having been ordered to Atlantic harbors. " The minister of Marine has just published a ta- ble of the population, cultivation, navigation, &c. of the French colonies for the year 1840. The whole of the population, free and slaves, amounted to 563,515, showing an augmentation of 3,732 over the preceding year. With respect tothe slaves, it is to be remarked that since 1834, the period when a system of accurate statistics relative to the colonies was commenced, the number of births has gradually increased, whilst the same is not the case respect- ing deaths. The number of marriages was about the same as the year before. The number of slaves set tree in 1840 amounted to 1,987, whereas in 1839 it was only 1,240. The number of hectares under sugar cultivation at Martinique, in 1839, was 19 814, and in 1840, 18 765; at Guadaloupe, 20.934 in 1839, and 23,505 in 1840; at Guyana, 1,305 in 1889, and 1,363 in 1840; at Bourbon, 22,405 in 1839, and 22,977 in 1840 The number of slaves at Martinique, in 1839, was 33 426, and in 1840, 35,302; at Guadaloupe, in 1839, 30,200. and in 1840, 34,520; at Guyanna, in 1839, 3,454, and in 1840. 3,489; at Bourbon, in 1839, 27,157, and in 1840. 25,715. The total production has increased in 1840 by 500,000 kilogr. The gen- eral imports have diminished in tne proportion of three miilions on the average of years from 1883 to 1839,which reduces them to sixty-four millions. ‘The exports, on the contrary, have increased four and a half millions in the same time, giving an amount of fifty-eight millions. The Paris journals of Tuesday state that the Ma- rine minister has asked for £240,000—five millions of francs—for the expense of establishments at the Marq iesas and Tahiti. He estimated the annual expense at £100,000 a year The force to be sent was 1,200 men. The Minister declared, that the Marquesas first occupied were so fertile as to be able to provide for the wants of the French whalers, which were to crowd the Pacific. The report of the commission drawn up by the Duke de Broglie proposes, first, a project of law, fix- ing the first of January, 1853, as the epoch of slavery ceasing in the French colonies. All their s'aves! to remain in their present condition, with the excep- tion of the following modifications, to be introduced by royal ordonnance. Civil rights are granted te slaves during these ten years ; but they cannot plead those rights ina court of justice without pelts repre- sented by a curator adhoc. Boatsand vessels, arms and powder, are excepted from the kind of preperty which slaves may possess. The peculiwm and the right of a slave to purchase his liberty is established. Emancipated slaves are not to enjoy political rights. Children born free are not included in this. The emancipated are to be forced, for five years, to en- gage themselves to planters, and, of course, forced to reside in the colony. The Governor in Council shall fix each year the maximum and minimum of salaries. Disciplinary workhouses shall be esta- blished for the refractory. The indemnity to the planters will be 150 millions ot francs, in four per TEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. Wonderful Passage of Twelve Days}! Death of the Duke of Sussex—Birth of ano- ther Royal Princess—Meeting of Parlia- ment—State of the Markets. The Great Western arrived about three o’clock yesterday .sorning with 57 cabin passengers On the 26:h of April the Queen was safely deliv- ered of a Princess; and both mether and child are doing well. The Duke of Sussex died on the 2lst of April, '70 years old. The sales of cotton fer the week ending April 28th amount’ to upwards of 26,000 bags—more than 4,000 per day. The better qualities of American are stea- dy, but inferior descriptions have receded nearly an eighth. Further advices from the United States relative to the weather for sowing the new crop are looked for with some interest. The market presents no striking feature, and is,upon the whole,less buoy- ant than when the Hibernia sailed. Parliament met after the Easter holidays on Mon- day, April 24, and, the following night, Sir Robert Peel entered into a somewhat detailed explanation of the reasons which frustrated the commercial trea- ties with Portugal and Brazil. The failure of Mr. Ellis’s mission to the Brizils is considered by the trading community as a national calamity. Englaud, it is contended, by the free traders, bas been sacri- ficed in this instance, to the West India monopoly. After the United States, Brazil is England’s best customer; hence the fear of having its markets closed. The Hon. E. J. Stanley is so far recovered from his recent severe illness as to be able to take carriage airings. Packet ship Independence arrived on the 25th. Packet ships Roscius and Burope have arrived. Fornasari and Lablache, Grisi and Mario, were performing at the opera house, London. Mr. macfarren,the celebrated composer and author is dead. Richard Arkwright the richest commoner in Europe died on the 28d of April. ‘Tue Steam Sarr Great Brrtat.—It is now fully expected that this wonderful boat will be launched at Bristol in the month of June next. May had been previously fixed upon, but owing to some difficulty in the float,it is now postponed to June.

Dnata or THE Duxe or Sussex.—The death of the Duke of Sussex, who expired at his apartments at Kensington, on Friday, the 2lst instant, about halt past twelve in the day, has excited more than ordi- Mary attention.

Since then, matters have made. butslight ogress. On the 15th, the Chamber of Deputies held a shortsitting to examine a number of petitions connected with the elections, which were referred to the committee, and then adjourned to the follow- ing day, Easter Sunday. It was not believed that allthe election returns could be verified, nor the House constituted, before the close of last week.— Then only could the Ministry be constructed ; and should M. Cortina, the opposition candidate, be raised to the Presidency of the Chamber, he would, in all probability, be intrusted by the regent with the formation of the cabinet, into which MM. San- cho, Luzuriaga, and Laserna will no doubt enter.— MM. Jose Calatrava and Gonzales having been ex cluded from the Chamber, the ministerial candidate for the Presidency will either be M. Arguelles or M. Fernandez de los Rios. P The Committee of the Senate charged with pre- paring the address in answer tothe Regent’s speech had not yet completed its task It was to be drawn up by either M. Marliani or M Quintano, the Pre- ceptor of the Queen. R F sy'2 ‘he question of the prolongation of the minority of the Queen was beginning to be agitated. The Castellano contains a letter from Saragoesa of the the 12th, stating that the Ayuntamiento and national militia of that city intended to present a petition in favor of that project to the Cortes. : Prince Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte had arrived at Cadiz, e When the Regent retutned the visit of the In- fante Don Francisco de Paula on the 9ih,their meet- ing was very cool. The Regent said tothe Prince, “Our characters are reversed; I, a man of the peo- ple, am obliged to defend the throne; and you, an Infante of Spain, now side with the Opposi- tion, arrayed against the Government and the Queen.” The Madrid Gazette of the 10th inst., publishes the draught of a billon trading banks, It contains the tollowing clauses:—“*Article 1. The Government it authorized to deliver permissions for the establish- ment of banks in the provinces of the Peninsula and the adjacent islands. 2. kach bank shall have us- signed to it a district, in which no other bank of a similar nature can be estgblished. 3.

The Constitutionnel has latterly taken up the question of persecution of Protestants in France, as if, under M. Guisot, a Protestant toleration had been abandoned. The ground for the suppesition that Protestants are molested in the tree exercise of their religion, iythe confirmation by the Supreme Court of Carsation of the decisions of the respective tribunals of Nantes and Versailles, in the case of the Protestant congregation of Seaneville, that the authorization of the government is necessary before a pastorcan enter upon his duties. That it would be desirable te have such a law amended no one will disputes but the law being such, it is no proof of fA persecuting di ition, that, when questioned be- fore ths DipEs wemEaens) the latter, having no dis cretion in fuct, affirm simply that the terms of the law are such and must be complied with. Prince Louis Napoleon has addressed a letter to the public journals from his prison at Ham, in refe- rence to the rumor that a political amnesty would be granted on the occasion of the marriage of the Princess Clementine and of the King’s fete.

Calatrava to recom- mend the Regent to permit the establishment of depots for goods in transit to and from the colonies (generos prohibidos) in the ports of the Peninsula. Matters were beginning to assume a more settled appearance in the Congress. The Gerinan Universal Gazette announces, under date Belgrade, 12th inst., that Prince Alexander, accompanied by the metropolitan and the primate of Servia, had repaired to Schabacz, where an in- surrection had taken place _ Several districts were in open revolt, and it was feared that the troops were disaffected. Portugal. The last accounts from Lisbon announce that the negotiations relative to a commercial treaty with England, are for the present atan end. Lord Aber- deen adhered resolutely to the ground which he took four weeks since, and rejected, as of too unsat- isfactory a nature to be entertained, the last propo- sition of Portugal, The British Envoy has been di- rected peremptorily to break off the negotiations— “interrupt” is the official word. The remaining point in dispute between the two countries is a duty of 3d. per pound upon woollen cloths—a sum which, upon the existing duties, amounts to less than £6,- 000 per annum, or 25 contos—a consideration of no more than a feather’s weight when poised against the national advantages to be secured for Portugal, and for purposes of revenue not to be for a moment regarded. A production, amounting to 800,000 pipes of wine per annum—for such is the average vintage of Portugal and Madeira—is sacrificed out of regard for the producers of a couple of thousand bales of coarse, ill-dyed, ill-woven cloih, and the smugglers of some hundreds more—a monopoly of the feeblest character.

India. Calcutta papers to the 5in ult. inclusive, brought to Alexandra by the extra steamer Tennasserim, to Malta by the Cyclops, and thence to Marseilles by the Acheron, have been received. The papers thus received are almost destitute of political intelligence. The successor of the late Maharajah of Gaulior was to be installed on the 20th ult. and no opposition to his accession was to be ap- prehended. Lord Ellenborough was still at Agra, whither he had proceeded from Delhi on receipt of the intelligence of the late Maharajah’s decease. No news of a later date than that received by the or- dinary mail had_ been received in Calcutta either from Seinde or Cabul. Fashions for May. is the cameleon silk, deriving its name from the ever-va- rying shades it assumes in different lights; this and taffe- tas nacre, Pekin Bengal, Ecossais gitana, bareges of many styles, foudards, mousselines, cachemire, &., are now re- placing the thicker materials of winter; all shades of grey and viouet are fashionable. Buttons are much used in re- dingotes and robes of demi negligé; they are made of colored glass, agate, stones, &c., having a gold point in the centre, and are of around form. Black lace is almost an indispensable accompaniment of every toilette; camails are of lace, scarfs of lace, flounces of lace, &c.,&°. Point de Venise ia also much in demand, endis made in every color; and the patterns are either antique, reniassance, or pompadour, it is also made in black and white for shaw]s, or scarfs of cachemire or barege. Dresses continue tobe made unreasonably long, particularly behind; the trim mings are two very deep flounces with ruche, twotucks, or two biasis placed in a lengthened wave; the vodies continue high and tight, but many have full backs, or a little fullness on the shoulders, and the ceintur excluded; the pelerine isa little changed in form, con- cealing less of the figure; the sleeves ure still tight, but those a la Louss X11". have many admirers, und it is ex- pected will become more general as the season advances For evening dresses, gauze or linen, fori in two colors, the one pink, the other mired, producing the effect’ so much approved ot in the cameleon silk; the same style is also applied to bonnets ot jazelisse; it produces the opal tints.

Bonnets are made incli more over the face, and not quite so deep at the ears, the crowns are not so low behind, but rather expose the hair; the more simple for morning wear are trimmec with plain ribbons. Capotes a coulisses are not much ormna mented, and s-me are made of straw with silk crowns, with merely a uceud, and long ends at the side; the chou is sometimes of plain net. White eatin bonnets are cover: ed with lace, and ornamented with a long white feather; the Penelope bonnet is the vewest style, and capotes a la Madonne, with long veils of tulle. Leghorns, whether plain or sewed, are now in favor, and vary in form and trimming according to theuse required. Bonnets of etoffe aylphide are made rather close, with a narrow bouillonne of tulle, and bunch of lilac or fleur de cedras; pailles de riz mixed with silk form pretty capotes, with sprigs of May and feather leaves, or wreaths ef aubepine. Markets, Loxpow Moxey Manxer, April 28th.—Console have been rather firmer this morning, the quotations being now 96 for Money and Account.

Ifany reliance is to be ;lacedon the decree providing for these paym for three or four years, there clearly seems no necessity for mere being said on the subject in public, but to forward the money without noise or parade It 1s, indced, believed that the faction opposed to the Regent heve emissaries here specially for the purpose of running down the credit of the govern ment, and this may furnish some apology for the apy aly supererogatory notice giuen by Calatrava, with the view of counteracting their design Moxicon Bonds have been done at 29}, and Portuguese Three per Cents at 40}, but the transactions have been of no amount worth notice, The business in Shares has been moderate ; Great West- ern Railway shares are at 91, the New do 66}; Birmin, ham 2074 ; Birmingham and Gloucester 56 ; North Mi land 68 ; and Paris and Lyons Scrip at 2§.

There has been a fair, though not extensive de- mand for Cotton throughout the week; but, owing to the pressure of avery large supply, the market has had a dull and inanimate appearance.

Livenvoor. Conn Manxer, April23—The improvement perceptible in other branches of trade has not extended to our market, though increased employment for the operative might reasonably have been expected to have produced a better demand for the main article of food. The fresh supplics being only modcrate coastwise and from Ireland, and scarcely anything having been received trom abroad for some time past, the imports have not had a tendency to depress prices, still they have gradually re- ceded; wheat must be quoted 2d per 70 lbs lower than on the 18th inst. There was rather a firmer tone in the wheat trade this morning, and a moderate amount of busi- ness wasdone atthedecline. Flour was in better request at previous quocations. Oats were little inquired for, but they were tolerably steady in value, and several parcels of oatmeal changed hands at 195 to 193 94 per 240 lbs, a cording toquality. Batley, beans, and peas were i demand, at former rates. State or Trape—Mancuester.—Trade continues to wear a healthy aspect, more e' ially as regards the goods market. "27 Inch 66% printing cloths have been freely sold at an advance of 144 per piece upon the cure rent pricesof last week. Indeed, ail descriptions of print- ing cloths are easy of sale, at advanced rates. Goods of every sort suited to the eastern markets, particularly low jaconets, cannot be obtained in sufficiently large quanti- ties, as the manufacturers ere chiefly working to order. Manufacturers of domestics are aiso very busy, but to the'astonishment of most makers, some of the larger manu- facturers of this article have reduced prices from }d to }d per yard, in consequence of being large holders. Not- withst inaing this, however, many very extensive orders have been given, and coxtracts entered into for future de- liveries at presentrates. The yara market is not quite so buoyant asthe cloth market, still spinners are realising an excellent profit upon all operations, which is principally accounted for by the extreme low andstill declining price of the raw material.

Violation of the Pilot Laws.—Robert McNally was tri- ed for a misdemeanor in violating the pilot laws, by pilot- ing the brig Attakapas to sea by the way of Sandy Howk, onthe 12th of February last’ Emery Corvan testified that he saw McNally on board of the vessel on the day she left to go to sea, and that the captain of the vessel and McNally beth told him that the latter intended to pilot the vessel to sea, although he told the Captain that McNally was nota licensed pilot. Witness saw McNally leave the wharf in the vessel, and standing atthe helm when e pas-ed towards Governor’s Island. On cross-exami- ion for the accused, witn itedthat he could not 'y Hook pilotage, as he did not see him after the brig pass- ed Governor’s Island. The defence, conducted by Enoch E Camp, Esq-, called no witnesses, but con- tended that the indictment was not fully proved, as there was no evidence before the jury that the accused took the vessel through Sandy Hook, as vas alleged ; that she might have passed through Hurl , or the accused might have \d or Fort Diamond, or even Governor’s Island. There was no evidence before the jury to the contrary, and notwithstanding the construc- tion that the conrt might make upon the law, he conten. ded that it was absolutely nes ti for the prosecution to prove that the accueed actually piloted the vessel through Sandy Hook, before they could ask a verdict of conviction. The Recorder charged that the law presum- ed a person guilty of the offence of violation of the pilot laws who wasseen on board a vessel bound to sea, acting in the ay of pilot, and that such presumption was necessary, as even admitting that the accused had leftthe vessel before reaching Sandy Hook, the jury would see that in toking possession of her asa pilet ‘before that peri- od, prevented a licensed pilotfrom taking her to sea, and thus virtually the law was violated. The counsel for defence took exceptions to this construction of the law by the court, and still contended that to convict under the law it was necessary to prove that the accused actually took the vessel through Sandy Hook pilotage, or was seen on board of her while approaching such pilotage. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the court stated they would impose sentence at the next term. Bogus Money.—An old beggar woman who said her name was lucy Cant, who bas a cri poe hand and was nearly blind,was tried on a char, sett forgery in the fourth degree, in passing counterfeit Mexican Dollars. It was proved by Jeremiah Conner that she passed two upon him and his wife and received the change.

The jury convicted her, and the Court sentenced her te the Pe nitentuery for one year. The Court then adjourned to 110’clock this morning when the Grand Jury will be discharged, and the remain- der of the day’s session occupied in hearing motions of counsel. It is understood that Jastes R. Writixe, Enq., is to de- liver his valedictory before the Court this morning. Who will be appointed in his place ? Nolle Prosequi.—On motion of Ewoow E.

Society of Social + nquiry and * eform a National Hall, Friday, 10 A. M.—First An- nual Meeting, Da. A. Brooxs, of Ohio, is the President of the society. He refused to take the chair on the ground that all were equal—on the non-resistance principle. We found about 160 or 200 people present, men and ‘woment in about equal proportions. There were several gentlemen of color present, and mot a few of the young” JaJios sat with their heads uncovered. Itwas altogether the most singular, most remarkable, and most heterogenous collection of people ever before gath together— black spirita and white, blue spirits and grey, all colors and complexions—representatives of all known religions, ond not afew that never w: known—but ail radical to the last possible degree. ‘There was William Lloyd Garrison, whose opinions are as unknown os his name is well known. is known to be anti-slavery, anti bible, anti-all existing order and organizati was William Green, Junr., (and bis wife Tappans wee ons ab the founde the great colored dinner, rome years ago, at his City Hall Place, in which he went hena tn Heres Lewis Taj unded the free Presbyterian churches a old friends, the abolitionists, and renoune: -_cuppetted and worshipped the Rev.Ch G Finney—built the Broadway Tabernacle for him. kicked over Presbyteri: the free churches into C societies—gave up his nior) partners! with the Messrs.

Dr. Ezra Styles Ely, hie brother—(formerly a pastor in Philadelphia, afterwards President o! Marion College, a man of large fortune, but finally burst up,)—sold out the Tabernacle to the Rev.

In short, Mr. William Green, Junr. bas run the gauntlet through all known and un- knewn religions, embraced all, andl deseried all in turn. and has, finally, planted his feet beyond ultima thule upon some ferra incognita—the same, we presume, as t rom which the members of this society all hail—or at least to which they are all bound. We should not have said so much of Mr. Green, (and the halfhas not been told,) were it not that he is ‘a fair specimen of the members generally of this societ: ‘There wasthe Rev. Willisom H. Channing, the son of the justly celebrated Dr. William Ellery Channing, the great Unitarian prencher, of Boston, whose name and writings are so well known throughout the world. Mr. Channing may be considered as representing the Unita- rian interests, There was also present a wild Yankee animal, all alive , just caught among the Green mountains of Vermont. It was altogether ot a nonuescript species, not being lai down by Linnwus, Its upper parts resembled a bundle of long brown human hair, well hatchelled, with a men’s peeping out from the midst of it. The Heir sat atthe " table, and we understood that it went by the sume of C. 8 Marray, from Vermont, editor of the Ver- mont Telegraph. It had on a pair of pepper and salt ts, blue cont “and brese buttons'a shirt collar, and nothing: else ground its neck, and a striped vest. It was taking notes for the Telegraph, and appeared to be periectly harmless and quiet. We did not see it feed. Not to speak further of individuals—the meeting was evi- dent! composed of Fourierites, Abolitionists, Transcen- dentalists, Perfectionists, Unitarians, Unionists, and Ex- perimentalists, together with sundry other shreds and patches, from almost all known religions—like King Da vid’s army, which Saul hunted ke partridges upon the mountains—that is, every one who was in debt, every one who was distressed, &c., all gathered themselves unto Da. vid, and he became their captain. Mr. Wuitina, of Mas- sachusetts, was speaking when we arrived. We did not gather the scopeof his remarks, but presume, however, they were first rate. The Rev. W. H. Cuansino then rose to address the mecting. He was greeted with a round of applause. It will be recollected that thi the gentleman whose very lucid sermon we reported not long since upon ‘“ Man made in the image of God.” His remarks to-day did not differ essentially from those expressed in the sermen allu- far as we understuod them. Mr. Simrsoy of New York, here volunteered an address, on the free speaking principle. The brethren and sisters did not seem to know him—or whether he were ortho- dox or not. He said he understood th is was to be a meeting | Reform, “and I beg,” safd he, “that it may be on Sociel Reform, and not on social destruc. je however soon got inextricably snarled up in Anniversary ‘iceting of the American Board oi elgn Missions. The annual meeting of this highly meritorious and va- luable Seciety took place yesterday forenoon. We never before saw #0 many bonnets at any public meeting. There were not more than fifiy males in the Tabernacle, exclu sive ofthe clergy. Weare serry that we cannot speak in such warin terms of the beauty of the ladies, as have been usually clicited by the appearance ofthe female audiences at these religious gatherings. The greater portion of the daughters of Israel assembled on the occasion, were age homely and devout. There were, however, a few pretty, blooming, plump country girls, whose cheerful smiling facet shed some light and life in the desert around them. There was one lovely young creature who stood in one of the aislos, gracefully leaning against one of the gigantic columns which support the dome of the build- ing. She was fashionably dressed, with great taste and simplicity. She had dark lustrous eyes—a clear ex panded forehead—rich brown glossy hair—cheeks tinged with the most delicate rosy hue—and a figure, whic rich silk shawl half concealed and half revealed in all ita faultless symmetry. Two or three rather impertinent fellows, with long strait hair, andthe everlasting yard of shirt collar, soon stared the lovely auditor out of counte- nance, and she retreated to another partof the build- ing. The clergymen had apparently profited by our affec- tionate reproof, respecting the horrid creaking boots and scrambling up on they tform. They were remarkabl well-behaved, and in eral conducted themselves wit! great decorum and decency. 3 The chair was occupied by the Hon. Thoo.

Dr. Arm- strong, one of the secretaries. i ‘The missions are arranged into three grand divisions. The first to nominal Christian countries ; the second to civilized Heathen nations; the third to r and barba- rous Pagan tril ‘The firat of these divisions includes Syria and the adjacent countries. Here the soeiety has five missions ; eleven stations ; thirty-six ordained mis- sionaries; three physicians; thirty assistant missionaries, ard thirty-two native helpers, all of whom have been fol- lowers of Mahomedanism, The second division includes Western and Southern india, Singapore, Siam, China, &e. Io these coun ries there are eight missions; twenty- seven stations; thirty-eight ordained missionaries; two pl 08; thirty-nioe assistant missionaries; and stents two helpers. Thethird division includes Borneo, West- ern and southern Africa, the Sandwich Islands, and the Indians in the Oregon Territory, the western and other States of the Union, andin Canada. In these parts there are 13 Missions, 49 Stations, 69 Ordained Missionaries, 131 Assistant Missionaries, 3 native preachers, and a large number of ive helpers and assistants. The summary is 26 missionaries, 8° stations, 133 ordained missions, 200 aries, and 117 native helpers, including y labo In_connection with ions, there are 17 printing establishments, with 31 pr irom which have boen issued works in 22 dif ferent languages, spoken by 450,000,000 people.

The report then went on in detuil to examine the pro- grees which had been made in the various countzies, de- scribing the aspect which they presented to be highly couraging, and calling on Christians, of all desomina- tions, to put forth increased efforts for the conversion of the world, and king in bigh terms of thea d received from the progress of the temperance cause. It then al. luded to the Sandwich Islands, where it there Were twenty-three churches, with 19,200 me 2,443 whom hai been received during the previous year.— ine houses of worship, six 9f which were of stone, had been erected during the same period. There were three hundred and thirteen common schools, with 14,553 scho- lars, Twenty-six books and tracts had been printed in the native language, numbering 120,000 copies and thir- teen millions of pages, of which eight millions had been atthe expense of the American Bible and Tract Society. Seventy one thousand copies had been bound at the bind- ery, of which 50,0¢0 had been distributed. The average attendance at Divine worship was 23,000, and the whole number admitted toChurch membership, trom the first, was 25.434 Since the last meeting, twenty missionaries and assistants had been appointed, and the same number dismissed, principally on accountof ill health. Eighteen have embarked for abroad, and seven who have visited r native land, have returned to their stations. Twelve have returned to this country, and nine have died. The receipt during the period from the Ist August, 1842, to 30th April, 1343, were $161,230, hich was $37,520 less than the appropriations for the spme period, and $93,169 less than the receipts for the same period’ during the last year. z ‘The Rev. H R. Honsinaton, of the Ceylon mission, was ker. He commenced his address by giving a ¢ Hindoo mythology. It included all the ‘bominations of heathenism. The of their religion were too gross and obscene for description in that meeting. There is no vice in the land which does not find its ex- ample inthe gods. Next to this lowest depth of idolatr; and abomination, was the “philosophic course,” whic! worshipped the em’ lems of the male and female energies. Then they had the “»*cetic course,” which included all sorta of self tormes\!ii. (The Reverend gentlemen snoke 80 Secunia thot sitaough we were en the platform we could not underst nd ene sentence out of ten) To uphold the iniquitous Hindoo system of paganism, all their science—their astronomy —astrology —bookslof all sorts — were apprepriated. ‘They looked on the Bible as a horri blething. ‘Their morality was altogether distinct from their religion. A man might be very religious, and y +t very wicked. The most religious man was very often the last man that would be trusted. (This ix, unbappil: sometimes the case, thespeaker might have added, ; perfect truth and propriety, in Chriatain countries) The land ofthe Hindoos was the best commentary on the mo- rality and philosophy of Greece. Mr. H. then went on to speak of the ony manner in which that land of idolatrows superstition wasto be converted. It was by the diflusion of Christian education. [Here a stupid-looking country clergyman, wih boots of more than usual dimensions, studded with large hob.naile—the orthodox awful shirt collar—soiled white ni loth—coarse dirty whitey brown hair, which stood up like “quills upon the fretful porcupine”—a low forehead—and a horrid snuffle—came scrambling up on the platform, jostled us out of our seat, and effectually prevented us from hearing the conclusion of Mr. Horsington’s address.) A missionary hymn was here sung, first in the lan- guage of the Sandwich Islands by one of the Missiona- ries, and then in English by the choir. Jonx Tuomrson, Esq., of Poughkeepsie was the next speaker, Mr. T. made a much better, more eloquent and more effective speech than any of the clergymen we have heard at these meetings. He rebuked with great vehe- mence the “griping parsimony—the close fisted covet- ousness of God's people.” This was what turned the child from his school, the student from his books, the printer from his press, and the missionary from his pulpit. He wanted to see some more of the spirit of the dauntless Paul who saw no fear in the ener of the Greek, no ter- rorin the imperial brow. That Board must be sustained. They must cut the purse strings of the churches, Mr. T. then went on very eloquently tospeak'of the vast field for missionary operations which had so recently been opened upin China, The Bible—the Tract—could not do the grest work of evangelizing the world—it the church—the preacher of the word that alone could do it. Through the leaven of the Bible the world was in a fer- tion.” the doctrines of the society—was called to order—hissed —and one gentleman seid he c son was always disturbing th ublic meetin Here the bundle of Hair rose t ‘end abl, “Moderation, belov- ed brethren and sisters ; let our good brother go on and free his mind.”—Mr. Simpson then went om. On conch sion, he said he was an abolitionist of long standing, end dyed in the wool. Tur Hatn then rose up and replied to Mr. Simpson, and enlarged upon the principles of the association. In the course of his remarks, he said it had been charged upon the society that they were creating confusion and disor- der in the world. ell, really, said he, ifwedo confuse and disorder this poor world any more than it is now confused and disordered, I could wish that we had let it alone, and that I had staid at home among the green mountains, and planted my potato: ind corn. (Great cheering.) again he said, “Ifthat be a pulpit (pointing to the desk) I say that place is no holier then the place where my horse eats his oats. Jesus Christ was not born im a pulpit, but in a mang plause.)

It shall be done. This Society of Social Reform is undoubtedly « cor ration; where its head may be, we know nut; but this is undoubtedly its beard ani , for it has seen no razor nor scissors for at least 15 years. ‘From this organ of the Society we gathered that it goes dead against all tobacco, coftes, tea, cattle,swine (in the shape of meat we suppose) and various other things of that character. From Mr. Cuansina,in another speech, we learnt that the movement of this society is to illustrate the practi- cability of loving our neighbor as ourselves. Its fg blem is perfect community with perfect individuality. Mr. Channing pronounced a most eloquent encominum upon the work of Charles Colgate, which, from the cheers with which its mention was greeted, we should judge must be thesociety’s text book. Mr. Thomas Eance, 0! Philadelphia,next arose to make inquiries. He, however. gave evidence of being in @ very dark and benighted state of mind—ené got se entangled in the doctrines of the Society that he appeared to know no- thing—where he was nor whatfhe was talking about. One thing, however, he was clear vpon—to wit, that Mr. Ridgeway, John Jacob Astor, and such men, were insane, and oughtto be put in a lunatic asylum. Butthe was not clear but that agreat many others dito deserved equally to be putin lunatic asylums. Here Mr. Channing set him aright by telling him that the whole world was now in one big lunatic asylum, and the question wos, how are Id teatify that Mr. Simp- . (Tremendous ap- mont.

Professor Goonnicit, of New Haven, next addressed the meeting. He said that he wa il health, but could not refrain from taking some part in that last act of the great religious drama—the “holy week” of the American churches. After giving expression to seme “scattered thoughts,” the Professor went on to speak of the mourn ful question which was now presented to the Society, whether or no the expenditure of the Board was to reduced $50,000 per aunum The speaker here beceme rather prosy, and was listened to with 9 good deal of im- patience. He concluded by expressing his fervent prayer that before the end of the seven weeks the $50,000 would be forthcoming. If he had the money himself, he thought he would lay it down on that table at once. He often wandered that forty or fifty of the men who could do it, did not come right forward and put down a thousand a piece, But even if they did, perha the treasurer would not do right to accept it. The dona. tion should come from the great body of the church. The Rev. Mr. Scvpper, of Madras, next advanced to the front of the platform.
