The American and foreign anti-slav society renew thcir pledge, and purpose to wage this moral confiiet with untiring perseverance, until the Moloeh of slavery shall be vanished in this land, and Danished from the world. It was moved, seconded, and csrried unanimously, that the abstract just read be received. ‘The first resolution was then proposed. It was to the efiect that the reading of the Bible is indispensable to the great problem of negro emancipation. ‘The President then introduced to the meeting Hexry B late of Kentucky. He said that the resolution had Bis most cordial approbation. It was right that the Bible should be sent among the slaves. He had been a slave until within a few years, and if the claims of the slaves to read the Bible had been pressed upon the at- tention of the Christian chure! nd upon the people, they (their advocates) would not have been compelled to be there that day, to assert the rights of the black man to the possession of the gospel. The Bible socic. ties had said a great deal about religion. but let it not be férgotten—let it be borne on the winds of Heaven— let it go through the length and breadth of this mighty eontinent. that there were three millions of their brethren shut out from the light of the gospel. He ‘would not stop to discuss the authenticity of the Serip- tures; they were generally received as the inspired word of God. He himself kad suffered much by not having known the Scriptures, and the result of ‘ir being kept from the American slaves was profanity, su- perstition and polygamy. No one who was’ ac- quainted with the condition of the slaves at the South could attempt to deny that. The Bible pomig in his opinion, had not done all that it might have done. In 1816 it was established, but still there ‘were three millions of men who had not reecived the Bible, just as if they had not immortal souls to be saved or lost, ‘The society had given them the “go by.”” Ves, the Bible had been sent to foreign lands. but three millions of their own countrymen, in their own land, been neglected, and left to thelr fate. It had been his hard lot to be loaded down with chains, to be hand- enffed, and to be banished from his native 8 ed down the broad Mississippi to New Orleans, tobe | 1 dispored of at the great flesh mart. [Here the meet- ing expressed strong marks of disapprobation.) If he had had the advantage of reading the Bible in earl ite, he would never have become the object of such deep degradation. The Bible would achieve every thing for them, so far as the emancipation of the slaves was concerned. (Hear, hear.) And it was his fixed and unalterable opinion, that no permanent liberty eould exist unless it was based upon the word of eternal truth. (Loud cheers.) If. as he had already said, the Bible had been placed in the hands, or within the reach if the poor, detenceless, and unhappy slave, they need not be there on that occ advocate’ the rights and liberties of one-sixth of the people of this country, (Applause.) Re emove all sin— intemperance. slavery, and every other abomination under which this or any other count Hi the speaker went into the particulars of an interview he had had with the Rey. Dr, Bingham upon the sub- ject of supplying the slaves with the Bible. ‘The Rey. ‘gentleman had raid to him that that was a question for the consideration of the kindred societies at the South, but it appeared that the Secretar at least some of them, of those kindred a. tions were slave-holders, and, in fact, the Scere- tary of the association at Bedford, his (the speak- er’s) native village, was William Gatewood, his own old master. (Marks of astonishment.) Yes, that was the man, who, in 1839, had loaded him (the speaker) down with chains—who had taken him to the black- smith’s, to have his chains forged—who had trod his feet under a horse—who had him ironed, and sent away to be sold- who had separated him from his wife, and a dear little child, whom he was never again to sec, until they met atthe judgment seat of God. ‘That was the man who was the secretary of one of the kindred asso- ciations! What were the slaves to expect from such a man? As well might they expect the fox to guard the geese, or tho wolf to protect the lamb, as to think that a slaveholder would circulate the word of God among their slaves, ‘The slaves had prayed for the Bibles, but their prayers haye been in vain, The Kiberty and spiritual salvation of millions depended upon the sacred yolume. Where were they togo, if not to the freemen of the North? rit! how Jong bas crushed humanity to plead in vain? When wilt Thou break down the guilt of the nation? The apologists of slavery said that the Bible was no use to e slaves, because they could not read it. The slaye- holders themselves believed that, but it was a mistake; there was no plantation on which was a considerable number of slaves, where one ormore could not be found who wasable toread. Nay, more—there were many slaves at the South who could read the Bible if they had the chance. (Hear,hear.) Again:—it was said that in the slave States there wasa statute forbidding the intro- duction of the sacred Scriptures. That was not true. ‘There were six States where no such law existed; but, nevertheless, no effort had been made to supply the rishing bondman with the Word of Life. The slave da right to have the Bible. If the heathen of fo- reign lands were furnished with it, why not fu heathen of oussown land with it? If any s! were present—and he supposed there were say to them that they might cut, and scourge, and bruise their slaves; they anight consign them to the dank and dismal dungeon; they might brand the initials of their names upon their quivering flesh; but the mo- gent the Bible got among them, they (the slaves) could not be held in bondage any longer. (Cheers.) “When he imbibed the knowledge contained in its sacred pages, bis master could hold him no longer, He had vowed to be free, or to die in the attempt. (Loud and pro- longed checring.) After the expiration of six mouths, he returned to sce if he could relieve his family; but he was betrayed, and that by a black man—which’ proved that a black man could be as mean asa white man when he wished, (Loud laughter.) He had been sold six times, to persons who professed to be re- ligious. His wife, dering his absence, had been sold for a high price, to a French profligate. (Here the speaker gave a most affecting description of the maxner in which the female slaves are treated.) ‘The Bible was said to sustain slavery; very well, in that cate the planters could not object to its introduction, as, according to their reasoning upon the subject, it would show the slaves that they were so by the will of God, and that therefore they ought to be resigned to ill. After some further remarks, Mr. Bibb retir- ed amidst eordial and general applause, Mr. Tarray sald that the Rey, Dr. Dowling was to have addressed them, but indisposition had prevented him from attending. | He had just received a commu- nication from that gentleman, expressing his deep re- eret that a sore throat rendered it impossible for him to deliver a public address, The Rey. Josuva Leavirt, and the Rey, Samcet. Wenn addressed the meeting in support of the following reso- lutions, The latter gentleman spoke with great abili- ty. Inalluding to Henry Clay’s “ expatriation” scheme, he was hissed, but he said he cared not for that inter- ruption. He invited the histers to zo on. He was not to be daunted; he was not tobe driven from his course. He had by all opposition fer 31 years. He defied it, (oud che ing of the desire on the part of colored p hemselves in the seale of s0- ciety, he sai to be a gentleman, white men could not help it. (Cheers and laughter.)

(Loud cheers, in the midst of which the reverend gentleman took his seat.) The resolu- tions were then put, and carried with acclamation 1. Resolved, That this meeting is deeply and grate- fully impressed with the goodness of God, in view of the progress which the anti-slavery cause has made during the past year, and expecially that He has over- ruled the machinations of the slave power in the an- nexation of Texas and the dismemberment of Mexico, in fuch away as toopen the eyes of so many of our fellow-citizens to the encroactiments of elayery, and inspired them with a determination to oppose its ex- tension or eaisteuce in any territory of the United Btates 2.

New York Slave Vigilance Committec. A meeting was held last evening, at the church cor- ner of Prince and Marion streets, to hear the report of the Vigilance Slave Committee. . ‘The church was not 50 crowded as it would possibly have been had the weather proved more favorable. However, quite a goodly number of colored folks, mixed in with a sprinkling of the pale faces, were congregated together, the larger portion of which were the fair sex of a dark color. ‘The meeting opened with a prayer, and then followed the reading of a very long report, the sub- stance being the protection of the runaway slaves. It feeme Dy the report, that near two hundred slaves have been provided for. and the receipts of the finance eommittee amounted to $825, expenditure $600, leay- ing a balance in the treasury in the neighborhood ot $221, ‘The report was adopted unanimously, Two etters were then read, containing donations ; one con- tained a draft from the President of the society for 500. Freperick Dovazass, an intelligent looking colored man, was next introduced to the meeting He amused the audience with relating several anecdotes respecting his eseape from the bonds of slavery, remarking that every man was born for himeclf; no matter what his complexion, he had a right to himself, he was entitled to his legs and his fect; and that any man claiming any more than two fect of his own was a perfect monster. (Great laughter and applause.) As for himself, he said he Talways advocated the running away of slaves, as it always sade room for another if they did not run away, as by asking their masters their freedom would never be obtuined. He referred to the evil practice of providing the poor ignorant slaves with the Bible. This he was opposed to altogether. So long as they are permit them to remain in ignorance; but as soon us you teach them to read, that moment they be- come unhappy. He alluded to himself. He suid that as soon as he began to read, from that moment he was restless and unhappy. Mr. Douglass went. on for some length of time in this strain, amusing his auditory with lively anecdotes, receiving from his admirers shouts of approbatipn. After the termination of Mr. Douglass's speech, a’song was sung by three children, The subscription plate was then handed around, and quite a neat little sum was collected, to be appropria- ted for the reliet of the runaway slaves. slay Clerical Annual Temperance Convention. The annyal convention of the Clerical Temperance Society was held yesterday morning, in the lecture room of the Brick Church, in Spruce street. The convention was opened with prayer, after which the Rey. Dr. De Witt was called to the chair, and Rey. R. H. Concklin, of Springfield, Mass., appointed secre- tary. The annhal report of the Society was read by the Rey, Jony Maxsu, showing the flourishing condition and favorable aspect of the Society during the past year, Rey, Dr, Mivor said that he had watched the progress of the Temperance Society for the last forty years, and the course of that progress. When the cause of tempe- rance had dec it was in consequence of the de- pendence of its frlends upon human power, anda ferget- fulness of the spirit of God, which had sustained it through a faithful ministry. ‘If human aid alone was used, the cause must decline, for, without the power of God, there could be no good effected. It is the duty of those whosigh for the prosperity of Zion, to throw aside human aid, and depend upon God, who will work for the pregress of temperance, It would not do for the church to let the subject be entrusted too much to independent organizations. ‘These societies are very good; but the members must work in the cause, for the mere organi- isa soulless thing. if the members and the mi- -y do not give it their aid. It is the duty of the ministry to speak of it. and press the subject in the pulpit—to work with the vender of the intoxicating draught. They must depend upon God alone for sue- ce: . Mr. Sart said—It is now possible to fall intoan error, The last speaker said the cause of temperance was in a most deplorable state. The power of God seeincd to have left the cause, and it was the duty of the church to take hold of the matter at once.

At half-past ten o'clock, yesterday morning, was held “The Second Advent” Conference, at Washington Hall, Hester street. After prayer and the singing of a hymn, the meeting was organized, by calling Rey. L. D, Maxsrienp, of Homer, N, Y., te the chair. Rev. O. R. Farnort was nominated Secretary. ‘A committee was then appointed to select preachers and lecturers, and to regulate the order of their future proceedings. f Some other preliminary business having been dis- posed of, Petey. Mr, Hace, Boston, then addressed the Conference. He urged the necessity of perseveranee. Men did not tire of their food or of the sun, because they were in the habit of eating every day, and of enjoying the light of the luminary of the world ; nor should they become wearied of God, or of Christ, or of the contemplation of the future glory that awaited the saints in the presence of their Redeemer. A large army did not require many pioneers. ‘The pioncers of the’ army of Christ were few who preclaimed the distinctive truth of the second advent ; but they were suficient for his purpose. ‘The number of. those interested in this great question was every day increasing. In a recent tour in the West, he found this to be the case toan extent far beyond his expectation. He found even clergymen that he never dreamed of, had been advocating this truth among their flecks, He did not want to advance the interests of a sect. or induce men to dissociate themselves from their peculiar denominations as Christians, but to let the truth in among them, and give it a fair hearing. ‘requent “ Amens” endorsed the sentiments of this speaker. Rey. Mr. Hints, of the Advent Herald, Boston, said he did not think of making any remarks at this time, but he found, as had been often said, that it was better to speak asthe spirit moved him, “There was nothing so important to a man whowas going to do anything, as to know exactly what it was. Jehu had on one occasion run an express, but it was of noavail, for he did not know what he was about. There were’ many Denevolent societies now holding their meetings in this city, but none of them was of equal importance to this, ‘There was one erroneous principle that pervaded ali their views. They expected to reform the world, in- stead of warning men to prepare for the coming of Christ, They all held up a motiye that was not to be found in the book of God, and that was not true, namely, that success was to crown their efforts, whereas Christ had expressly told them that the world would go on in its wickedness to the end, asit did in the days of Noah and Lot, It was true, that those who held this doctrine were few; but s0 was it in the first age of Christianity, when the dis- ciples of Christ, though few, were right, as history had attested, while the Jews, who were the many, and per- secuted them, were in crror, Never was any great re- form achieved, except by a despised Martin Luther was a despised monk; he stood alone against the world at first; yet we, Protestants, now maintain that he was right. In the same way, those who held the doctrine of the Second Advent were right, though the multitude were against them. He could not, as an honest man, interpret numerous passages announcing the second coming in any other way than as describing the literal presence of Christ in person upon earth; and it was impossible for any one to give them any other consistent interpretat He therefore stood upon this principle, that those texts either meant no- thing, or they indicated the doctrine for which Ke contended, and he could not be moved from that po- sition, were the whole posed to him. Let their opponents despi s they might, the signs that were predicted as heralding the Second Ad- vent, were as visible as the buds that now showed sum- mer was nigh, There was distress of nations and per- plexity speaking to us year after year and month after month, that his coming was right on the threshold. ‘The Conference then adjourned till half-past two o'clock. ‘The Conference again met at hulf-past two o'clock, but was engaged only in prayer, singing of hymns, and exhortations, which p 6 no interest for the reader, ‘At.§ o'clock in the evening, the Conference again re- d its sittings, and after some devotional exer- Elder Cumsxes delivered a lecture upon the 11th chapter and 12th verse of the Epistle of Paul to the Romans—“Now ifthe fall ofthem (the Jews) be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fulness !? ‘The lecturer quoted a number of prophecies, to illus- trate this text, and to show that the Scriptures predict the restoration of the Jews to their own land, and to the favor of God; and that, through their means, the rest of the world, as yet not converted to Christianity, will be brought into’ the fold of Christ. He then argued that, as history had demonstrated that the blessings of divine revelation came partially to the other nations of mankind through ths fall of the Jews, so, if there was any truth in the Bible, the nations would be com- pletely blessed by the conversion of the Jews; and that, according to the prophecies he had adduced, could not take place till Jesusof Nazareth, the King of the Jews, came, in power and glory, to live and reign upon carth for athousand years, If they believed the truth of Christ's predietion,when he prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem, and the scattering of the Jewish nation in consequence of their rejection of him, when he said, ‘O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! thou that Killest the pro- phets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, evenasalen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

And there shall be signs inthe sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roar- ing; mens’ hearts failing them for fear, and for looking hose things which are coming on the earth ; for powers of beayen shall be shaken, and they shall the Son of man coming in cloud with power and great glory, And when these things begin to come te yues, then lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh.’ Christ was both a priestand a king, Ile had, ax priest, offered himself as a sacrifice, and his reign asa king was yet to take place on the same pot where he was crucified, The Rey. gentleman en- tered at considerable length into the subject, and ap- peared deeply excited, as were his audience, who fre- ined and eried “Amen,” and by other ear- , showed their sympathy with the sen- peaker.

The last year was a most extraordinary year from the great calls made upon the tociety from Frapee, and ether countries of Europe. The feeling for this society had greatly in- creased in England, both among the establis e Dissenters, In Scotland the increase in this interest bas been remarkable, as well in Switzerland rmnany. The progress of the work in Canada is ited with much success; and the mission on the Dordera of Mexioo, the greatest success attends the eflorts of those engaged; a school has been establish- ed, and the missionary there thinks he shall wavt an *tistant to aid in the work. At St. Domingo the So- ciety has had encouraging prospects, and that, too, with the approbatici: of the government of the Islaci, im Bouth America, at Valparaiso, sidecss has attended, and in New Orleans, we are happy to say, the progress of the society was fa- yorab!

If ion will be consum. mated on ‘Thursday night next, at the anniversary the American Protestant Society, It is proposed to the new society the American and Foreign Christiah Union. Rey, Dr. Hicerns, of Boston, was introduced to the audience, who said he had listened with pleasure to the reading of the report, but regretted to have the name of the society blotted out of existence, The report has spoken of a union, and he was happy to be present at the publication of the bans. ‘The report spoke of trou- ble abroad; and it was true, that looking abroad upon the great European panorama, the senses know not what to do, All the plains and valleys below are sear, and hot with blood. France has been spoken of more particularly, For fifty years that country had been in commotion, destroying governments; but cannot her generals put a stop'to such work? He had asked, where were her Napoleons and Cavaignac, and if they eould not stop her carcer, it would be hard to bring ber to her proper kenses, France is necessary to help to carry the church into the millenium, ‘There is no country of greater beauty, but there is nv country which has so often sharpened the axe for the execution of her own children, When these haye been stopped, France will come back to the days of her former prosperity, ‘They might kill the fatted calf, for the pendulum of the prophecies would strike down the glorious sound of the Scriptures. ‘The dead is alive, and the lost is found. Mr. Woop was next introduced, and delivered a brief address. He spoke of the Evangelical Christianity, and opposed the idea of a monster kingly ruler in the Papal chair. It could not be concealed that the re- yolutionists of the old world were opposed to Christianity, and it was because they had been ground down by those who professed christianity, and they be- lieve that Christianity.is opposed to them It is the duty of Christians to teach them that the people’s will is just as much the power of God as Victoria or Nicho- jas, Itis the duty of Evangelists to teach them that God is the only true one, and make the principle un- derstood that the people and patriots of this land trusted in God, It was not the blood which flowed in the re- yolution, but it was the spirit which led them to Bun- ker Hill,’ Alike from priesteraft and kingeraft, it will have the effect to christianize the world, ‘It was necessary to make political and religious principles meet together, to insure the success of Christianity, Rey. Dr. Epwaro Brecuer, of Boston, was called upon, and before addressing the ‘audience, read a series o} resolutions, touching upon the work of the society in Europe, and in Papal countries, He then went on to say that those who had looked upon the revolution of Europe for the past year, had marked that there was a great division. There had been a deep sympathy in our country during the last year, and at the anniversary of the society the very name of Lamartine was received with acclamations of delight. Then, many supposed that Louis Napoleon would be emperor of France, as he had go often declared that » republic could not exist. It was little anticipated at that time that France would estore the Pope to Rome, and put down the in conjunction with Austria. ‘They all ut what is found, when itis discovered talk of liberty; that those who haye been first in these moyements had been atheists? He who was executed in Vienna was an atheist and blasphemer; and who would not rather have ® kingdom, or a Pope, than liberty in such hands, It was not hesitated to say, that the wor- ship of heroes was the legitimate pursuit of Europe, and yet they are called the friends of liberty ; and who does not think that monarehy is preferable to such liberty ? If he properly understood the character of the people of Italy, he was not satisfied that they were opposed to Christianity, In France, the common people, to escapo a republic, voted for Bonaparte, thinking that Napo- leon was alive. How was it that the tions of France have always been in the hands 1s? Tt was the unin of Church and State, and will ever be so. The Churches of the Reformation were much of the samesort, and they sunk into a miserable dogmatical state, and pantheism and atheism has been the result ; andwhile Europe has these two clements in it, liberty will be destroyed. ‘The union of Church and State had always been productive of infidelity. Sucha union has ever been productive of infidel reformers, The blow which has been struck in England by Baptist Noel will be felt through all Europe, and the germ will show it- self throughout the world.’ Of the new order of things by which Europe is to be saved, one is the efforts of this society. The infidel philosophy of the old world was corrupting the young men of this country, and it was necessary to be on the aggressive, and hurl the power from them There was no nation s0 well calculated to fight the battles of infidelity as this, because there was none save what existed in the human heart, and that unorganized, while there is an organized ‘infidelity throughout the old world. He had lived in the West, and well knew that infidelity grew weaker and weaker every day. He could see, by the candidates who fre- quently joined the church, that they might be elected —that infidelity had no seat in that section, Let the Christians of this country use the grace of God, and work in the spirit. and Europe shall be herself, indeed. Hon, Bexsamin F, Butter was next introduced, who spoke of the duty of American Christians in the great subject of the regeneration of the world. The State had no right to require man toattenda particular wor- ship. In Ireland, a Protestant church had been esta- Dlished, but what had it achieved. In those parts where the Dissenters had settled two hundred years ago, they still maintained their position, but Protes- tantism had done no good when connected with the State. He regretted that our Puritan ancestors were not acquainted with their religious liberty, butin New England at the present day, as well as throughout the country, there was enjoyed liberty. In the days of the revolution, the different sects of religion still held t some of the established regulations, but the constitu- tion of the States established unrestrained liberty of conscience until the principle had_ become one of our American first truths, and it would be just as easy to establish a monarchy as to jein the Church and State. In most of the denominations of this country, and New York city for instance, the churches depend upon the contributions of their embers for support, and what a xound was that to go to Europe, that they might un- derstand that Christianity in this country is the liber- ty of conscicnee. They were not to propogate their own particular opinions, but of the cause of Christian- ity; this country was culled to show to the world that she isthe land of the fayor of God, and that by the true liberty which exists she is prosperous and happy. Rey. Dr. Bacon made a brief closing speech in which he recupitulated come of the important features of the society, and congratulated the members on its prospe- rity without the intervention of King, Prelate or Pope, but through the spirit of God alone. Europe was on the verge ofa contisgration with infidelity, and the cause was that the Church had been relying on the Hing. ‘The choir then sang a beautiful hymn, after which the audience were dismissed with the benedietion New York Ladies’ Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh ‘The fifth anniversary of this society was celebrated last evening, at the Methodist Episcopal church in Forsyth street. The meeting was called for haif-past seven o'clock, but at that time there were but about thirty persons in the house, At about cight o'clock, the services were commenced by singing a hymn, com- mencing with— « Josus shall reign, where’er the sun Doth his successive journeys run.” A prayer was next made by a clergyman present. After the prayer was concluded, the Reverend Mr. ‘Wood, pastor of the church in which the meeting was held, ‘came forward and presented to the audience a view of what the society was aiming at, and what it had accomplished within the past "year, Once again, said he, the Board of Managers ot the Ladies” Home Missionary Society present their port to the friends, who, during the year, have manifested so deep an interest in their wellare, They hail this fifth anniversary with deepened gratitude, for the past year has been again crowned with success and blessing. There is, to most minds, a magic in the name of home, and we think the influence of this word has been largely realized by our society, When those of our friends, who are dwelling in homes where plenty and religious influence com- bine to create a sunny atmosphere, have gone forth, and in their daily walks, kave met the poor, the suf- fering and the degrade ery step, the contrast h A gratitude to the God of has redoubled their efforts 1 the contrar; om a saddened hom proving ; its entire aspect has changed beneath thi Untiring efforts of sur German missionary ; and, al though his labors were impeded for several months, by & painful aceident, most seriously affecting his h yet the seed sown has produced abundant truit. Sunday school has increased in numbers and interest Several have jomed on probation, and eight on certitl- cate, after giving satisfactory preef of sound conver- sion. The following, among many interesting facts. is narrated in the report for the present year :—A Ger- man family, five in number, landed on‘our shores and » immediately greeted by some of their country- 1, who were awaiting their arrival. ‘These were re- sidents of Bloomingdale, and fruits of our missio;, there. ‘Through their influence. the strgqgoys were induced to sre theré too. and were thus brought, for ths ast time, under Methodist influence. Their Lutheran prejudices vanished befere the awakening power of the gospel, and, ere one month had elapsed, ail of them had experienced the converting grace of God, and, with unspeakable gratitude to him who had not only guided them to a land of civil freedom and political privilege, but who had so early blessed them with that higher freedom which his Son alone bh power to impart, they enrolled their names as proba- tioners in the little church so r ly planted in that moral wilderness, ‘This point of i labor has been well explored by the other G issionaries of our city, whose long experience entitles them to the credit of judicious judgment ; and also by English brethven, who are well able to compare and to decide; and all concur in the opinion that this isa most im- Ps nt field, both as it regards the interests of the Germans thus providerftially brought into our midst, and the interests of our city, of whose population they form solarge a part. ‘Phe Fiftieth street mission, under the care of this society, is also steadily progressing in interest and numbers. The energetic missionary employed in that field has been untiring in his labors, and although his monthly reports have not narrated great results at any one time, yet the entire year has been one of much en- couragement and success, ‘The congregations are good and attentive, the Sunday school well attended and in- teresting. In their last report, the board stated that they entertained a hope of establishing a mission in Centre street, near the Tombs, A committee of ladies was appointed to visit that neighborhood, and lke co- operation of several judicious brethren was invited. After a most thorozgh examination of the premises, it ‘was concluded that at present there was no favorable opening, owing to the impracticability of obtaining suitable rooms, and mor found a Union Sub- bath school already in op. yhich seemed at the present to cover the ground, At every meeting the German cause was pressed upon the attention of the society, and the wide door of usefulness among that class of people continually_ invited our entrance, The appeals thus constantly made, induced the board to view the call as providential, and they concluded to appoint a colporteur to visit among the newly arrived eniigrants, to distribute tracts in their own language, and to lead them, while yet strangers in a strange Jand, to the house of God, and thus place them beneath the awakening influence of gospel preaching. This has been most faithfully accomplished, and many most in- teresting cases have been reported to the board. ‘The treasurer's report was next read by the Rey. Mr Revpixo. From this report, it appears that the receipts of the society, for the last’ year, were $1,076 24; and the expenditures for the same time were $1,079 19. After the reading of the ‘Treasurer's report, the audience was addressed by Rev, Mr. McClintock, who spoke in terms of praise of the efforts now being made inthe home missionary cause, and ospecially lauding the work performed by the ladies belonging to this so- ciety. ‘The Rey. Mr. Stnicxtanp, of the Ohio Conference, next spoke at some length upon the comparative merits of the home and foreign missionary enterprises. He compared the results of labor here and abroad, und ar- rived atthe conclusion that the home field was by far the most promising of the two. Only twelve years ago, a mission was established in the Methodist church alone in he United States, and now the number of communi- ts brought into the church under their labors is nearly as large as those in the missions of China, India, and Ceylon. To illustrate the expense of sustaining foreign missions, the reverend gentleman mentioned the case of a collection being made, where a gentle- man gave a dollar and a cent, saying, “the cent is for the missionary cause, and the dollar is to pay its ex- penses.?” While he applauded the efforts made in the foreign ficld, he, nevertheless, was fully possessed of the belief that it belonged to every Christian to exert him- self in the home missionary cause. A collection was then taken up, and the meeting broke up after a benediction had been pronounced. Kew York and American Sunday School Union ‘The anniversary meeting of this most interesting so- ciety was held on last evening, in the Central/Presbyte- rian Church, Broome street. The usual celebration by the children attending school under the control of this society, did not take place on yesterday, in consequence of the continuous inclemency of the weather during the entire day. The benefits which are derivtd from a society constituted as the one which held its anniversary on last cvening, are of a nature so perfectly obvious, that we experienced much rogret at not secing a larger audience in attendance, though it is but justice to say that the ladies mustered in much stronger force than the gentlemen. The exercises of the evening commenced with singing, after which prayer was offered up by the Rey. Dr. Blair, of the Philadelphia Episcopal Church. ‘The annval report was then read by Mr, McCat- uicot, the Corresponding Secretary of the So- ciety ; the Reverend Doctor Ferris, of the Dutch Reformed Church, presiding. The tenor of the report, upon the whole, was very satisfactory; and it congratulated the society upon the beneficia! results of its operations during the last year. The whole number of schools—allowing for some which n disbanded during the year—may be stated nd the number from which reports were received, seventy-five. In these seventy-five schools, the number of pupils is 15,607. The number of teachers in these schools, both male and female, is put down at 1866; 84 teachers and 70 scholars have made a profes- sion of religion since the last annual report. It is also satisfactory to atate that between pupils and teachers, 24 have commenced preparing for the ministry. The number of pupils, of both sexes, in the infant classes, is 8,264, and in the Bible class, 785. The total number of white children attending the schools is estimated at 1,141, and of colored pupils, 490, Amongst the books which haye been distributed during the year, by order of the visiters, are 764 fine, 128 common, 53 for the purposes of reference, and the same number of plain bibles; alse, 1.831 hymn books, 2,748 question, 1,267 class do., together with 817 firet, 307 second, and 260 third class readers, and also 1,652 volumes were added to the library, making the entire number of volumes 82,568. After the reading of the foregoing re- port, the president of the meeting said that he had an- Ucipated having the pleasure of seeing the Rev. Dr. Dowling that evening, but he regretted that illness prevented his attendance. The reverend Mr. Bippre then rose for the of proposing that 1,500 copies of the t which had just been read, be printed and ublished amongst ‘the members of the society. He was earnest in his support of the Sabbath schools, for he received the first rudiments of education in them, He had seen the benefits of their enterprise, even in the wild fastnesses of the far West, where to the children of the backwoodsman was an opportunity afforded of attaining to grace through the medium of the Sabbath-school organiza- tion. After some further observations, the reverend gentleman concluded by proposing the resolution, which, having been seconded, was put by the President and passed unanimously. ‘The President then gave out the 162d hymn, which was sung, all the congrega- tion joining. The next speaker was Dr. Manpevinte, late of Hamilton college, who said that he considered the the times were changed, as not many years since, it was supposed, that noone could do good except 4 minis- ter and his deacons or elders. However, a revolution had taken place, which, although it had not engaged the attention of a Michelet, a Macauley, or a Prescott, yet was one which would tell upon the destinies of mian- kind with more force, than all the revolutions which had ever occurred, It’ was a revolution by means of which a provision was made for bringing into salutary and practical exercise, all the talent of the church, Not quite a century ago, the surplus intellect of the church lay unemployed and dormant. ‘The foundation of the Sabbath schools was laid by Mr. Rich, who first organized them, by taking under his protection and teaching some few boys, whom he foumd straggling in the streets. But now they had hundreds and thousands both of pupils and teachers, and, therefore, considered that Sabbath school enterprise, as an engine which was capable of bringing into active employment the talents of the Christian community, was most worthy of the serious attention of every philanthropic Christian, In- dent of its assistance in man’s intellectual pro- grese—its being so auxiliary to the increase of the knowledge of the truth was a fact which rendered the Sunday school organization doubly important. Even e teicher himself would draw an amount of benefit it, from the fact that the mind of the Sabbath school teacher must necessarily be intellectually and morally trained and disciplined. If we were to undertake the labors of a Sabbath school teacher, it were impossible for us not to be better fathers, mo- thers, citizens ; we would hold on to what is good and e firmly, and ever aim at the improvement of an’s social and moral condition, It waxan important fact that there was happily a large surplusage of ability inthe church capable of furthering the interests of TTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS, Our Washington Correspondence.

Thomas Butler King, late active Chairman on Naval Affairs in the House, has gene on a tour of reconnaissance of the Gulf of Mexico ang the Isthinus of Panama, for his own personal informa tion in the future discussion of these subjects, in connection with the naval and commercial marine of the country. It is, however, suggested that, before leaving, his claims as a candidate for the cabinet were compromised by a South American mission, which he carried off in his pocket. It may be a mere surmise, but certainly no better man could be designated for Chili than “Mr. King. Gen. Waddy Thompson continues a prominent man for the mission to Mexico ; and in addition to his knowledge of, and experience in Mexican af fairs, his popularity with the Mexican people is considered to be one of his very best recommenda- tions. Gov. Nathamel P. Tallmadge and Hon. Bailie Peyton are also mentioned for this mission. ‘The New York appointments were not disposed. of to-day. If we mistake not, Gov. Seward-has- been too fast. It is beginning to be suspected that he is nothing less than an aspirant for ’52, and that the control of the. New York offices is the first step» to the control of the New York politicians for the next National Whig Convention. To be sure, the: idea that Gov. Seward can ever reach the Presi- dency appears preposterous, but good management may, sometimes accomplish apparent impossi-- bilities, Still we think that the Governor’s tram will be fired before he leaves the magazine, and’ that he will be blown up in the explosion.

Professor Hitchcock gave another of his inte- resting lectures on geo By, at the Smithsonian. Institution, this evening. ‘The lectures being, ac- cording to the design of the Institution, for the “increase and diffusion of knowledge amon; men,” they are free. The house was crowded, and though the discourse was the dry details of. geological discoveries, and theories respecting ex- tinct animals, it was listened to with much inte- rest by men, women, and children. The particular. subject to-night was the bird tracks in the sand-- stone formation of the valley of Connecticut river. The subject on Wednesday evening is to be the interesting one of “drift,” by which lakes have been filled up, mountains washed away, and plains covered with hills, by the continued action of yol- canic wayes under the earth’s crust, and of ocean waves drifting with the undulations of the internal. fire. The Smithsonian Institution begins well. The central building, meantime, is progressing steadily, and when the entire structure shall have been completed, it will be the most. singularl unique and beautiful edifice on this continent, wit its curious architecture, its oriel windows, its re- cesses, projections, abutments, towers, and stee-- ples.

Police Intelligence, Arrest of a Bank Robber and Convict.—On the 234 of last March, the banking hou sbit & Co., at St. Louis, was robbed of some $17,000 in bills and gold, b; five robbers, three of whom were subsequently arrestet and nearly half of the stolen money recovered. Infor- mation, ai the time, was sent on to our police, setting forth that one of the robbers, called John Moran, alias Norman, was an escaped convict from Sing Sing State Prison, and it was thought likely he would return back to the vicinity of New York,as his mother resided in New York, and likewise the won he had been in the habit of living with, Upon this information, officers Bowyer and Reed, atlachés at the Chief's office, ably as- sisted by Constable Southard, of Newark, after many days’ search in Newark and its vicinity, were watching at various points, when officer Reed espied Moran coming along the road. The rogue recognised Reed immediately, as Reed was the officer who arrested him n the charge that consigned him to the State Prison r five years.
