Ry THE CLOSE oF THE ANNIVERSARIES IN NEW YORK. a ot American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. A meeting in behalf of the above Board was held on ¥riday morning, in the Broadway Tabernacle—the Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen, President, in the chair. ‘The exercises commenced with # prayer by the Rev. ‘Dr. Fennus, after which the congregation united in sing- ing a bymn. Mr. Fresixcnuysen then read the following address ; It is one of the most interesting aspects cf the last half century, that while the political agitations of this eventful period bave shaken thrones, and overtaken many of the institutions of human policy and power, the influence and triumphs of Christianity have been more decided and wide-spread than in any age of the world | Asia would soon be subjected to the power of t! Bince the days of the Apostles. It is full of instruction to mark the hand of God through all this excite 1 cen- tury, controiling the moral elements, and ruling the wrath of men to his own praise, Often when the heart was ready to faint at the coming floods of irreligion and iniquity, we beheld him in his providence and by his spirit, raising a standard for the truth and of his name. on the ruins of the works of darkness, Who, with mere homan forecast, could have expected that the plans of the Bible, missionary. tract, and other kindred echemes that adorn the history of this age, would have come into life so near to that tempest 0 f Ero ‘aud, blood enkindled by the Freneh revolution, and that while Na- poleon, as the rod of God’s anger, was rebuking the earth and striking terror and divmay into the hearts of kings, the peaceful and blessed gospel would be mab ing Js éranquil way for the healing of nations? And suc! e often been the conjunctions of the history of the church, is by works of. dreadful righteousness that God does often “fulfil some kind design;”” and we may draw from this instructive lessons to urge forward the ions of benevolence. The age is fearfully active on all other subjects, and surely, at such a crisis, when all else is in motion, the Christian will not desire or be content to fall Dehind’ ina carver whose results for him will out Inst time, and flourish when time shall be fi ten. The dove of God is the most animating and active of all im- pulses; it movesas no other motive can; and when the schemes are putting all the energies of the mind into earnest and anxious exercise, this is one of the vondi- tions congenial with the enterprise and spirit of the gospel; it prepares the way for it; it breaks ground for the cause of truth, and, moreover, not! but religio : can happily meet’ such an ney. When he wh: ‘dweit in the bush, shall speak in the e of his power, the waters of strife shall subside at his bidding, and all the more contribute to the prosperity of his kingdom. ‘Thon, tet every Christian take courage, Nothing daunted by agitation, the contlicts of opinion. and the tumults of the peopie. let him take hold of the divine faithfulness, and send his word and his ministry to the nations that sit in darkness; labor in his strength and for his glory; and as God is true, the light of salvation will soon flow down from the heavens, fill the whole carth with ity and pence, and thanksgiving and joy. ‘The Rev, Svan B, Tuear, one of the Secretaries, then rad the following statemeut:—* The missio year which has just closed, may be characterized as oue of «juiet and thankful progress, Both at home and abroad there has been uniform prosperity. The receipts of the ‘ourd during the nine months of the current fiscal year, have been $186,500, showing an advance of $17,304 upon the corresponding months of the previous year. The ad- vance on donations has been $24,088. A greater increase could have been wished; but we would cherish the hope that this is but the earnest of r and costlier ferings. In our schools of theology there has been a ‘marked and pratifying change, Tosome of them, indeed, God is evidently granting the self-same spirit which shone forth in the pioneers of American missions, From Oct. Ist, 1850, to May Ist, 1851, (seven months.) thirteen students received appointments as missionaries tothe heathen, During the corresponding period of the previous year, only four were accepted. The num- her under appointment at the present time, is eighteen, As we tura to the missions and survey their state and pro- | anise, we are cheered on every hand by the evidence of | doubted progress. ‘The reformation among the Arme- vians of Turkey is pursuing its onward and resistless marels.. Fiven the Greeks, at slacedonia.at Athens, and at Constantinople, seem to be slowly awakening from the slumber of ages. Our hopes for the Arab race are con- stanly brightening. Among the ‘dwellers in Mosopota- mia’ we can discern the gas of approaching day. Our young brother at Mosul, huppy and hopeful in his work, pleads carnestly for greatly extended operations. ‘The brethren at Orocmiah are enjoying their third revi- val in thiee suecessive yeare; another token that we may yetece this ancient church—loved for the Fathers’ sake— coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon the a: her beloved, The five missions of India have much to animate them and encourage them in their labors, ‘The three ruissions in China have the same open door, the | sume wide field, as heretotore; and at Amoy, especially, the ingathering has already commenced.

Gxoxcer W. Woon, of the Tmlaslou to fae Ar- menians, was the next speaker, He said the gen who had preceded him had carried the audience pagun lends, but his mission was amidst a spurl Christianity, where Christ was cust down to make room forthe Virgin Mary—where spiritual poligion was, park driven out by ceremonies and forms. The missionart went there for the purpose of calling them back from this great apostacy, and, with the open Bible, proclaimed to them that none but Christ could work out their sal- vation. He said that they would have been expelled from the country if it had not been for the claua¢ in the treaty between the United States and the Sublime Porte, providing that American citizens shall enjoy gl! the pri- vileges granted to the most favored nations. “There long been some French Jesuit stations in Armenia, and the American missionary, when threatened with expul- sion, pointed to those, and demanded that he, tod, should, be allowed to remai: The Rey.

Association for the Suppression of Gambling. The first anniversary of this Asseolation, which, we believe, is the latest candidate inthe field for public favor, public countenance, and public support, was celebrated at the Tabernacle on Friday evening. About a thousand persons were present. ‘The Rey, Dr, Fennis openod the exercises of the even- ing by prayer. The Craimman of the Executive Committee then read an address, setting forth the objects and purposes of the Association, from which it appears that the society ‘pro- pores to keep a register of all gambling,ho uses, of every. description, in the city of York ; to obtain and record, in private book, the names of persons who habitually frequent these places, or who are known to gamble, or who are eridestiy commencing a career of gambling ; to warn and admonish such persons against the continuance of these practices. Where warning and admonition shall have failed to reclaim them, to communicate to its subscribers all the information in the possession of the office. relative to the gambling habits of such individuals, if in their employ or confi- dence, on their application for such information. The first unnual report of the Association was then read. The following is an abstract of it :-— “The New York Association for the Serie. of. Gambling commenced operations, through their Execu-* tive Agent, J. H. Green, ubout a year since. In the nonth of May, 1850, Mr Green undertook systematic ef- forts for the collection of facts and statistics in regard to the subject of gambling in New York, and devoted the months of May, June and July almost exclusively to thia’ purpose. During this time, aided by the valuable servives of othere, he succeeded in gaining a large amount of information, which diseli , in an unexpected man- ner, the extent to which the habit of gainbling is prac- tised im this city. It appeared from these investiga tions, that within the municipal limits of New York there were, of all classes and descriptions, no less than six thousand one hundred and twenty-six gambling houses in nightly operation, This unexpected result was confirmed by the reports of several police station: on which undoubted reliance may be d. | Allowing an average of four gamblers to each house, which is by no means an exaggerated estimate, we have at once over twenty-four thourand ‘pereons pledged to resist ¢ landlords and owners swell this number to an ay ate of over thirty thousand, Although we have no exact data by which to calculate the number of persons who are cither the victims of - gambling. or devoted, by taste and habit, to indulgence in ‘| the vice, it may reasonably be supposed that it cannot fall short of the amount already named; thus shaking 9 al of near sixty thousand, out of a population of halt a million of inhabitants, by whom a habit, so fraught with peril to the best interests of society, so fatal to every worthy and elevated principle of character, is con-tautly heat. be thors, mothers, and chilaree’ eeved caused by gambling, let the friends of the fomtpenntes we the vier. iid opted by this last speaker wat tert eons y ‘i was vi ; but in order to carry it into effect, the public’ shoud Support the Association more liberally than, it does, Within the last year not more than fifteen hundred his connection with the church at Ahmedm ,one hun- dred and twenty persons had nua preston of faith in | dollars had been contributed to its support—a sum quite the 1! ingignifennt compared to the service which it effected, ir, Biartow here sang @ song; after which, Rey. Dr. Pirkrowr, of m, delivered a short address, He commenced by alluding to the circumstance of a number of persons having been recently arrested in Boston, and also to the fuct that a person connected with the Western Railroad was recently found to be a defaulter to the amount of thirty thousand dollars, which he lost in gambling. He related some incidents showing the evils of the vice. A few years since, a eon- fidentinl clerk, in the employ of one of the largest firms in Boston, was found drowned, On looking into his books it wus’ discovered that he had appropriated eighteen thousand dollars of the funds of the firm which he had expended in the purchase of lottery tickets. How good it is, then, to have an association like in existence, which is building up a wall of security, or insurance, to merchants, bankers, and men of business generally? This institution should, therefore, : be, supported.. and he. called on the merchants of New York to countenance it. The epeuker drew a picture of the life of the gambler, whieh he said, is a Ue, . Their success depends ou cheat- ing, lying, ensparing, and deceiving in every way, ‘The; are ihe tee of both the old and poe fain . But bad a4 gamblerr ate, they are superior to thowe who keep gambling bouses—for, put anything at all in the balance against them, and they will kick the beam. We are in- formed that there are six thousand gambling houses in New York. Now, suppose there were six thousand coun- terfeiting shops in New York, would it not be time for the citizens to arise und form an institution to «up; them? These gambling houses are counterfeiting dens, ‘They send out counterfvit men on the community—men who have lost their manhood—who cannot look you straight in the face--men who are conscious that the eye of the public is on them, although they try to evade Xe How beautiful those gambling halls—no, gainbling hells— look!

Instead of Pelog able to discharge his obligations, he tells the merchant that he met witha misfortune, that his pocket was picked, and that his note must be extended. How, who pare? (Laughter ) After Baking « few more remarks, the Rev. gentleman con- cluded. Mr. Grex, the Reformed Gambler, made a brief speech. Jie referred to the difficulties. and contentions | which he has had to contend ngainst, during the nine yom that have clupsed since he commenced this reform He was a Sambler for twelve years; but, although he has abandoned the business, he is now one-third a better player than hewas when he gave it up. It has been ne- | cessary for bup to hoop up With the times. When he entered upon the life of a gamblor, he knew he was doing what was wrong. He contrived to break hia fetters, and to become again a free man, and he now dovotes him- self to the suppression of this vice. ‘The city missionaries cun tell to what extent it prevails in this city. It was but & short tne since that two persons went into the office of the Anti Gambling Association, one of whom had been cheated out of ten thousand dollars, and the other out of fifteen hundred, whieh was the pro- perty of 4 widowed mother. But, although he has given up gambling, he is frequently visited by gamblers, with whom he is soquainied, at his office. Ie does not ‘go to them, nor is he asked to do 80, for they know it ‘would be useless for them to invite him; but they come to him because they are glad to get good advice. He is fre- “quently asked if he is uot afraid to expose gamblers, but he is not. If he were knocked in the heed. there would be, at the next anniversary of this Association, two hun- dred gamblers on-the platform. At all events, he is en- deavoring fo to live, as to be always prepared to dic, and therefore he cares nothing for gamblers, or any other per- Fons, Mr. Hansa, one of the reporters of the Commonwealth newspaper of Boston. and Rey, Mr. Cranmens of Phila- delphia, addressed the meeting, and soou afterwards it adjourned.

It was ascertained that she had respectable mother in Baltimore, with whom she had exchanged no communication for a period of ten years, At the suggestion of the Matron, she addressed a letter to this parent, Pape y bod place of abode, but the ead details of ory. letter was received, cordially inviting M. to return to. frie nda, ond eadtedag the reaatae means to ex] enees of journey. gratefully ‘a Fhe pened and hastened to an affectlonat ' te if ih its i 3 ing to & premature ve. respectabie physician, to whom she advice, ‘eoepts she was deeply impressed. foun ‘ded 5 whe le heart to the Saviour, and her habitual con- duct has since attested the sincerity of her fai Another, through the instrumentality of this sosiety, b bandoned the intemperate habits for which she was aw time notorio nd professes to have experienced a saving change. She is now usefully employed in Con- necticut, and is reputably married. She attributes her present cheering prospects, and her hope of salvation, to the influence of this association, We cannot forbear to notice an incident of peculiar interest, which occurred on a Sabbath in September last, On the previous day, an unfortunate girl applied for admission into the Asylum. She was respectably connected, and had been favored with a religious education. On Lord's Day, she attended divine service, and appeared deeply serious. ‘The preacher, who was a stranger, aiter offering fervent prayer. «elected, as the theme of his discourse, the passage, * Ho! every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters.” Profound the entire circle, and it was obvious that an arrow hed reached her heart. At the close of the services, she was requested to remain. As I myself by her side, her eyes filled with tears. What, L asked, “is the cause of your weeping; is ityour degra- dation? "Thai," said she, * has been seriously consi- dered, but I have vinned against God.” ‘These words, uttered with deep emotion, were full of significance. Qu my proposing an iuterview with the minister who had addressed her, she promptly consented. That interview deopened the impression which had been made, When asked it she had poully parente. she became much agita- ted, ard, on gaining self-possession, remarked, “1 bave had a religious education, and my nts are pious.” Ty reference to the text which hed been the theme of dircourse, we asked. “Have you come?" She emphati- cally replied, “1 have not; I'wish to come, but I @m so eat a sinner, I fear I never can be saved." But you are invited, ail the Almighty deelares that he will abun- dantly pardon; and cau you hot, will you not now vome, and tall at the foot of the cross?" At these words, she arore and, with # countenance and manner which no pen can describe, exclaimed, “Yes, Lord, leome, Leome.”” The plan of salvation now appeared so plain, ‘that she felt constrained to submit all her interests to the hand of the Saviour. She is humbly and sweetly submissive to the Divine will—astiduously secking to lead the impenitent to the knowledge of the Kedeemer. Prayer is her de- light. ‘The Sabbath was formerly a wearisome, unwel- come day, butits hours now glide so swiftly, that she would fain check their speed. When asked how she could meet the corn and neglect which might be the consequence of her detection, she, with emphasis, re- lied :—* The thought once caused great solicitude, but am now satisfied to leave it all with God." She has ecently been transferred to's pious family in a neighy boring city, and I trust she will adorn the religion she has embraced. The following extracts are from letters addressed to ws by former inmates of the asylum -— ‘One writea—*I thought myself = poor, tost sinner, when that sweet pastage of Scripture came to my mind ; ‘Though your sins be as senrlet, they shall be white ns snow--though they be red as crimson, they shall be as wool.’ I prayed fervently to God that He would take the veil from my eyes; und uever shall I forget that might when He ogeke pence to my soul. May I itve the remain- der of my days to His glory and service.” Another sa: Lotten think of what I experienced while under the protection of my friends at Yorkville, and how many happy hours were spent with them. I there read the Holy Bible—there I learned to pray in se- cret, and to love the prayerful.” Another desires to offer to the managers her heartfelt, grateful thanks for their protection aud kindness. “1 felt much,” the writes, “at leaving the institution, and had not duty caused it, woulf have been glad to remain longer, a4 I feel that my «tay there was conducive to my spiritual benefit. ‘The religious privileges I evjoyed have been of much comfort to me, and the instructions I re- ceived will have a lasting impression on my mind. I can but feebly express my sentiments of gratitude to all con- cerned in that exalted work.” Other letters of s most favorable character have been received from Inmates who have left us. Oue is profitably employed in a factory. In all ber communications, she proteecen © hope in Christ, and a cheerful reliance on vine Providence. She gratefully recognises the efforts of this society, as the means of ber deliverance from ruin, We have also heard from twenty others, who are usefully emplcyed, and are conducting themselves with strict propriety, It becomes us here to allude to the recent death of one of the inmates of the Arylum—e hopeful con- vert, through the instrumentality of the society. A few days before she expired, she made, in a simple and affeot- ing manner, the following statement :—~ 1 was born in this city, of irre parents, from whom I received little instruetion. [was accustomed to hear profane lan- guage, and indulged in it myself, [heard frequently the name of Jesus, but knew nothing of his character, and ouly thought of him as of any ordinary individual. After J bad entered the Asylum, on a certain oecasion, 1 over- heard the Matron speaking of our Redeemer's mission upon the earth, and was so forcibly impressed by her remarks, that I resolved to read the history of the Saviour, as recorded by the evangeli*t John. I had advanced to the story of his crucifixion, when I re- ceived; that illumination from the Spirit of tod, which has resulted, 1 trust, in my conversion.” Her Inst hours were marked with sweet submission and confidence in her Heavenly Father. A soul once ignorant and debased, but now eminently intelligent, elevated. saved—nakin to angels and ransomed spirits above; how rich a reward for yeurs of labor, is the achievement of this blessed result! Another of the in mates has. in the past year, deceased, at the Hospit While in the Magdalen Asylum, she professed a hope in Christ—was much interested in studying the Bible—and was frequently enguged in secret prayer. She died in the triumphs of Taith—and few, perhaps, will sing more exultingly the song of redeeming grace. Throughout the yeur, God bas blessed us in our work. We have recognized his approval in the result of our labor, for his Spirit has manifested iteeif among us. There are those who think our +fforts expended upon barren ground ; who belivve fallen woman irrectaimable. Could they witness, as we have witnessed, the emotion of such as have been awakened, and the heartfelt fervor with whi some have consecrated their affections and energies to their Saviour.the incredulous would no longer doubt that d's mercy isable to save to the uttermost. the epitent Magdalen.

THE PROCKEDINGS. Svaccuan, May 10, 1851 Mr. Brnixien followed Mr, Wright, He said, if there be » God who sanctions slavery. he ix not the God of the Hible, nor is he the God of nature; he must be the God of Inst, and of all sorts of crime and villany; but such & Grd was not the God which he, Burleigh, worshipped and followed. He unhesitatingly denounced those who wor- shipped that God that sanctioned slavery. as more idola- trous than the Eqyptinns, that worshipped crocodiles; but let them bow down, if they will, to this God; but f say they are worse than the Romane, the Greeks, and all the heathens of antiquity that bowed down to the statues of Jupiter, Mereury, and Venyske.4¢. Ie formerly ex- amined the Bible, to see if any of its texts bore out slavery, but he never could, taking it as a whole, find anything in it that could sanction that abomination. T therefore say, that those who drag the Bible into the contest, to ald them, are guilty of the mest shocking blasphemy: and those who say the Fugitive Slave law is \eecd om the constitution of the United Miater, ary guilty of the greatest fully. Mle concluded by saying, that although he revorenced the adaisters of Christ, he abhorred the priests of Satan. Mr. Payne addressed the uweting. The scope of his discourse was to show that potitical compacts were Voluntary on individuals, and consequently that indi- viduals were not bound by political compacts, and it is therefore not true that, beoause @ man isa member of a community, he is not accountable for acts of that community, You may treat written compacts as waste per; you may say that Millard Fillmore is not the resident, and so do I. You may say that'Congress and the officers of government do nob represent the people, and so do I; but even thoagh we know those things, we cannot run away from the goverument. Mr. Gaxanison rose, and after taunting the last speaker, and telling him the passion for voting ran to seed in America, he tells us, said he, that Millard Fillmore is not @ governor, nor does any government extst; but still he | says, Weare not to run away from Millard Fillmore and his government. Mr. Garrison then contended that it was his right to exawino the constitution. to examine and handle it; and there might be nineteen out of twenty articles which I could like, but the twentieth might be oe and such a one as I could not subscribe to; but to get to the nineteen which I approve, 1 must swear to support the whole, Now, this I cannot or will not do; but let me be understood. we are not rehists—we are goverument men; but it is the government of God over man, aud, therefore [ cannot take an oath to support a constitu. tion that gives the slaveholder * chattel interest in his fellow ereatur to the government the physical power of the country to hunt and carry men into slavery, I cannot swear to support that constitution, because I cannot uphold it, and, therefore, there is no union bétween us. Mr. Wrist followed Mr. Garrison, and in reply to Pryne, suid, for God's suke. give we none of your miscrable moonshive bere, when we have such tremendous realities staring us in the face Fen Dovessss rose to speak. Mr. Gay, one of the secretaries, rose to call the atten- tion of the brethren fer the remainder of the evening to business matters, Me alluded particularly to obtaining subseribers for the Siwndard newspaper, the organ of the party ?: that whenever he got up to speuk. Fx 0 Dover ass Brother Wright, @ geme other brether, stood up said, in effect, thet hewas out of order, aud he down, Mr. Goonais said, he eouid ni solutions now before the meeting, unless they were lowed to go iuto the question of civil govermment; and to divewss that question thoroughly it would take them three days, We understood Mr. Goodall to take the ground in opposition to brother Garrison sad brother Wright, that the American constitution is anti slavery, and wot pro-slavery ; and be also insisted. in epporition to them. that subjects of all civil governments sible to those governments, and owe them allegiance. He further coptended that the United States constitution was not only anti-slavery,*but clothed the people of this Uniou with power to abolish slavery, He also took the ground, that whem the liberty of one man Was stricken down, the liverty of every cther man was not airicken down. He went vu then to detine bis position, He said he believed in the right of the States to secede; and then the question recurs, ought they to do it! He contended that if the States north of Mason and Dixon's line Lelieved they an anti-slavery con- stitution, they ought not’ to secede, but go on and abolish slavery, but to dothis they inust have « judioiar; when they get judiciary, lot them then bring the qu tlon before that judiciary, and test it. Mr. Goodall said, he hoped it would be long before they should arrive at that point when it would become necessary to di the Union; but let the brethr that the constitution is pr ry, take their own course, and he would take hix—but still they might work together—and he wished it to be understood by the editor of the New Fork Herald. that aithouzh there were anti slavery men, liberty party men, liberty league men, and ail other sorts of men here to-day, and although the confusion of Babel is amongst them, and even though the Union, the constitution, the government, and the President were trampled in the dust, slavery must and will be abolished. Here « stormy diseussi eo between the liberty league, the Libort anti-slavery men, the result of which Burleigh and brother Pryue tock the liberty leagu platform, After some remarks from brother Burleigh, defluing his position — Brother May asked him if his better-half had any right to vote, and if *o, did she go to the polls, Brother Bunvsrcy said she certainly had, and voted through him. An adjourmment was thea moved until seven o'clock. evens The proceedings were audience. Mr, Sxpawick, of Syracuse, was introduced to the meeting. He said it was not because Mr. Garrison ex- voted him to endorse all his measures, that be put him ere; but because he (Garrison) respects the liberty of speech, He kpows that I disagree with him in many of the doctrines which he holds; but there are many of the principles which relate to the great question we are met to discuss,in which we agree. For example, we agree in that great moral principle that one man cannot have a property in another We also agree in the principl that man is not a m machine, as it was for- merly held by kings and emperors; and that those kings and Gmperers could manufacture a machine Uhat could reason and think as wellas a country parson; but that is not our notion at the present day. We believe that it is cruel, unjust, avd tyrannical, that one man should hold property in another, We also hoid in common that the slave is entitled to his liberty at o1 nd that the man who holds him against bis will i yrant, Upon «© doctrines we ali agree; but the question on whiel iffer ix, how a to carry them out’ Mr. Sedg- wick condemned party caucuses aud party discipline, snd insisted that an adherence to such party discipline de- stroyed all rational freedom of thought and action, and he heped to see party tremmels broken up. He sald that it it was true thut political questions arose from day to dvy in respect to thix people, the slaves, every man was beund to meet them at the ballot-box, firet at ‘any rate. Ile condemmed the pintform put forward by the anti- slavery sceiety at the preseut com He thought it was extremely absurd to break off the slave power, On the other band, le @ coutinuan ouree with these people might do mv mi.
