The best comment we can make on their performance: is, that their hall is always filled with highly re- spectable audiences, who bestow on them the high- est tokens of delight and enthusiasm. The solos on the violin and guitar are executed with great sweetness, and the drolleries of “George” keep the audience in one continual roar of laughter. Christy may be justly termed the Napoleon of ne- gro minstrelsy. Fen.ows’ Minstreis anp THE New Onrans ENADERS continue their suecessful career; their hall is nightly crowded. The singing of Collins, the tolos on the violin by Master suckley, ne- fi delineations of Swaine, the dancing of Wil- jams, the solos on the banjo, by Rumsey, and the ood maragement of the musical director, Nelson \neass, is a combination of talent rarely witnessed.

There is in ad that Wallace writes, a terderness, pathos, and expression, which ave never been euipassed. His compositions are pure in style, and full of melody, and are fast be- coming the standard of musical taste in America, av they already are throughout Europe.

Thirty-Fifth Anniversary ef the American Bible Society. This cociety held their thirty-fifth anniversary yesterday, at the Broadway Tabernacle, which was, in a few minutes after the time appointed, (10 o’clook A.M.,) completely filled, there being scarcely stand- ing room in the body of the building. The Hon. Tueopere FRELINGHUYSEN was called to the chair, and, contrary to the society’s former custom, the exercises were opened by a prayer, as well as tho reading of a portion of the scriptures. Dr. Tyx@, who had before strongly opposed this innovation, evinced his concurrence in the measure, by delivering the prayer himself. He also read the appointed scriptural passages; after which, the President read an address. The Treasurer’s report was made by Josern Hyper, Esq., Gencral Agent and Assistant Trea- surer, which showed that the receipts of the year, from all sources, have been $276,882 52. This sum, including legacies, is somewhat less than the income of the previous year; but, excluding lega- cies, is larger, by $8,150 18. The amount received by legacies in the past year was but $15,000, where- as, in the previous one, it amounted to $30,000—thus showing that their living friends were as active as ever, Or more 80. The annual report,-read by Dr. Briguam, com- menced by stating that they had to announce, with yegret, that during the past year one of the Vice- Presidents, Isaac Carow, -» had been removed by death. Within the same period sixty-three muxiliary societies had been formed. The number | of Bibles and Testaments issued were, 592,432, | making a total, since the formation of the society, | The Board had issued a new diamond | also the Book of Psalms appendcd. They had also issued a School Testament, of large type, for | children aud imperfect readers; a New Testament of Swedish and Luglish, in parallel columns.

The destitution was not now su great as it had been, nor was, he was happy to | uy, the disinclinution to receive the Bible. Where | tiee-filths of Le people had formerly refused, they did Lot now find one fourth domg so. The reverend gentleman than brietly remarked that, ua- | like other tocietes who produced many books, they came betore the meeting, as usual, with | the one. A pamphiet was ubout to be pro- | | duced, pointing cut the variations in the dif- | ferent editions and versions of this one book ; and whily they would be surprised to find how many small oucs there were to be found, they would be gratitica to learn how they coincided in ail material | und important parts. The society had already done | much; but so large way our population becoming, that they must do more. Key. Mr. Newron moved that the report be Frinted and circulated under the control of the z i Managers. Many of his hearecs, he said, | uinisters of religion, and, as members of | benevolent institutions, responsible for the right | management of the trusts committed to them. | ‘They bad never witnested usure cure, more sound | judgment, or more devotion, than the managers | aud shown to the best interests of the society. | ‘Their responsibility was great in directing the op- porition to the king of this world. The care re- quired bad something in it resembling that of the cure felt by a mother—a Christian muther—for her child. Such a care had devolved upon these gen- tlemen, and it was right, he thought, that this re- port shoud be printed and approved.

Dr. Piznce, of Georgia, rose to second the resolution, though he felt it imprudent to «lo so, as far as he was personally concerned, as he had | been seriously afflicted, and was now suffering. He Lad intended to address a note to the society, beg- ging to be excused; but as he was the only repre- sentative of them from so far South as Georgia, he thought it would be a benefit to the society that ho thouid give some statement of their progress there | aud had attended He would confine bunself to some facts only, and leave the advocates of the Bible | cause to those in better health, in mind and body, | thanhe was. That cause had ever boen a favorite object of his life, andall th cir efforts had met with his warmest concurrence. In 1827, he had become | # life member; Ist, a life director, and in Int, their agent in Georgia. lie had beea surprised to find in a State comparatively old, how much his ser- | vices were needed. He was told when he first.went | there, that he would not find fifty persons without a Bible, and he was determined to test this question thoroughly. He employed a respectable imiuister there to ascertain the truth; and in a village about twenty miles square, there were found two hun- dred aud fifty families without a Bible, and this” in a place abounding to astonishing extent in | churches and preachers. This was a matter of fact, | and had been demonstrated to him, as he thought the question was one of gs TE importanee to | be examined to the bottom He found that, geue- | rally, the families had but one Bible each, no matter | bow many children they had reared, and as these formed new families they were left entirely without the Holy Seriptuses. He had ‘always, then, com- menced his lectures by pointing out to parents | how improper such @ course was, and there was soon scarcely a family not engaged in procuring a copy for each child. The bibie distributors now | would not find the land as he found it; their object could be carried out, and he was confident they would succeed beyond their most sanguine ex-— pectations. lie was satisfied, aud whoever read | the Scriptures would come to the same conclasion, that the bible was intended to be the beok of the people, and they must distribute it. we people would never come to them—they must carry it to them, and urge their acceptance of it, and eudea- vor toe lighten their minds, and induce them to seek the religion of the bible, 'as well as the siample | possession of it. ‘The world did not contaia a suill- | qent number of bibles, wx ply the wants of the peop along without any increase of popula merely the same living inhabitauts on the earth, it would take centuries wo supply every man, woman aud childwith a copy.

It might be thought that this portion of the South had litle or nothing to do with the word of God. This be was happy to say was quite a mistake. ‘Lhe resolution was then put andcarried. ‘1. Fuesinenvysen, eq, of Newark, N. J., moved the eccond resolution. ‘That the Bible is worthy the support of all, and especially of the American patriot.” Human intelligence, he said, had exhausted its stores in eulogiums on the dible. All must admire it. It was worthy the support of al. It was rich in literature poetry. It wound iteelf round the human heart, avy contained models ot rhetoric; but these were the leat of its blessings. After some further very elo- uent cbservations on the beanty of the Seriptures, ae speaker continued:—Our gallant army and pavy around the const, were vur guaranties of peace and security; but the great security was in the hearts of the people, and the promulgation of the word of God, would do more than all the go- vernmental institutions, as it was imposible to eu- noble the man without improving the citizen.

Who will not there learn some- thing of his duty to his country? The Bible was the safest, the most potent instructor. Let the friends of freedom stand by the Bible, and let tho friends of the Bible stand by the Union, which is destined to be the great propagandist of Christian truth. (Hear, heer.)

Burt, from California, seconded the reso- Jution. California, he said, had been preserved by the providence of God for the protection and bene- | fit of this Christian country. Franciscan priests had long since been established there, but the gold was not then given. The Hudson Bay Company had travelled there, but the ground did not reveal its treasure t- them.

One of them hadsaid he was giud of it, for the more Bibles they scattered themo:e Catholics they would make; and ifthe trath make Catholies—well, But let no means be left negleeted of scattering the truth—the word of God. He himself had been brought up a Catholic and in youth the Bible was a closed book to him. ‘Lhey Were now, as it were, in the centre oft world.® “California had connected the two hemi: : pther, and hundreds and thousands of ere constant y arriving there.

He did not bow mean the honest Roman Catholic, but those who knew the secrets. Some he believed, bewildered with coojectures, and, at a loss among opposing tenets, bad, in their difficulsy, thrust their heads into Popery as the osirich thrust, his head into the sand, and fancied he was not seen because he wae blindfolded himeelf. It was Popery, a8 @ political agency. The question had been, how were the masses to be kept down ? How was the human mind to be governed! _ {t de- fences upon the friends of the Bible whether Popery did not speak the truth, when she said that she was to be the mistress and the governor of the world. Popery was unchanged and unchangeable. She was stamped with the immortality of God’: curse, as though he had said, * stay till | eome.” She was tolerant. Yes, tolerant as the viper, until she was warmed into life. The Poper of to-day, was the Popery of the past, against w! ref our brave forefathers had fought, and prayed, and bled. ‘This is the Popish church which had burnt more Bibles than she had ever printed. Then, was not the in- fidelity of the present day more dangerous than in | the past? It had been to the tailors and come in a | new garment; it was clothed in language different from the vulgar, blaspheming thing it once was. It came in God's own churches, from his ministers.
