ne enn ee ; fact, Bo man sbutteth, and who shutteth and no man op -neth ‘The report was adopted, as was also the f fro the Commitier on the Italian Seriptures:—Your com- mittee cherish devout gratitude to Almighty God for the Bignal opportunity ailorded to the Union of prosecuting fhe work of revi-ion in the Italian Scriptures during the post year. The Italian language is spoken at this time by ‘St least twenty-four millions of souls in Italy proper, and aso by multitudes of Italians both in che United States and Great Pritain. This, in connection with the ‘act hat the people of Sicily, ‘Malta, and the islands of the Mediterranean, together with those of Baroary, Egypt, nd various parts of Turkey, are better acquainted with the Italian than any other European language, is highly wt of the importance of this work. If the Union shall succeed in praisel a clear and truthful expression of the mini of the Holy Spirit in Ttalian, a bold attack will be made at once upon all the @rrors of Antichrist in his own house, and none of them ‘will yield more quickly to its assaults than that which the Wenerable Dr. Gill denominates “=the Post and Pillar of xy.” We believe the effort will be honored of Got as Gllustrative of the great principle which He never repa- Giated, and for which we muct, in fidelity to Him, ever ®oatend. Thus the “ first works’’ of the Union shall be ® pledge of the faithful application of that parciple Beall succeeding and cotemporary versions, until unitiag B@bedience to its constitution shall have procured and cir- ulated the most faithful version of the Sacred Scriptures in all languages throughout the world.” The following report fr-m the Committee on the Siamese Beriptures was readay Rev. A. C. Wheat, of Philadel- bia, and on motiow g8o; ted:—The full and interesting Jommunications mace in the annual rep rt of the Board of Managers in regard 10 the Siameses Scripture renders it wnnecessary for this Committee to make a lengthened re- +. This Committee, therefore, only call the special at- tion of the members and friends of the Bible Union to the letters of the missionaries and the remarks of the Boord in this department of their labors, confident- Iy believing that such perusal will be bighly satisfactory and encouraging to all who desire to give the precious Word 0 God. faithfully translated, to tle benighted pagan mations as well as to those called Christian. ‘The commit- tee, however, are of opinion that such an occasion should not pass without some testimonial to the character of the Biamese New Testament, and the facilities which seem to be opening before the missionari-s for its circulation. Not only were his colleagues in the mission convinced of the extraordinary scholarship of the lamented Dr, Jones, Dut it is understood that all the missionaries in Siam of other denominations regardea him as a profound scholar and a most judicious translator. This work is esteemed by them as standard. The mi sionaries all agree that ere ix a most extraordinary aptitude among the siamese for acquiring information, and a general te receive and read the Sacred Books. At the conclusion of these reports the meeting was ad- @ressed by Rev. John Quincy Adams, of New Jersey Rev. 4. Whi , of New York; Rev. A. Angier, of New York; A. J. Goors, M. D., of St. Louis; Rev. 8. 8. Relyea, of Kingston, New York, and W. H. Wyckoff, Esq., Corres- ay g Secretary.

The last session of the convention was attended by a larger congregation than we have seen at any time during the anniversary of the Uniou. Rev. Dr. Armitage pre sided in the absence of Dr. Cone. A hymn was sung by the ©ongregation, after which a portion of the 119th psalm was read by Rev. Dr. Wheelock, and prayer said by Rev. Dr. Foster. Mr. Buckbee, the Assistant Secretary, read the report of the Committee on Members and Delegates. He stated that sixte:n States were represented; that the number of delegates present was 300, and that the num ber of visiting brethren and friends is about 1,200. This report was ordered to be published, after which Mr. Buckner presented the following resolution:— Resolved, That the thanks of the Union be presentod to the Indies of the First Baptist Church, and other friends, who havo with such assiduous kindness entertained the members ‘and delegates to the fourth anniversary of the Bible Union. ‘The following was also presented by Mr. Bucknsx:— Resolved, That the thanks of the Union be presented to tho reporters of the New York daily press, for their impartial re- Ports of the proceedings of this anniversary. Both resolutions were unanimously adopted. The min- utes of the preceding meeting were then read, after which Dr. Achilli, of Italy was introdwecd. He 1 abyut the medjnm heigint, ana we sudwid say past fifty years of axe. ‘complexion is dark, his features large acd the neral expression of his face appeared to us heavy and jul. ‘There was nothing in his manner of dress like Ga- ‘vazzi’s, particularly deserving notice. His appearance naturally excited a great deal of interest among the au- dience, in con-equenct, we suppose, of the prominent po- Bition which he has recently occupied before the world in connection with the Rev. Lr. Newman, Ee spoke as fol Ws i— , ADDRESS OF REV. DR, ACHITL. I feel very happy, sir, that my first appearance before a Christian public in the United States, has this very evening been occasioned by nothing else but such an in- teresting meeting upon the Bible, and [ must be wisely proud, my Christian brethren, how many I have the plea- Bure to meet with in this place—that 1 have been pre- @ented to you by a Bible Society—as my name itself, my bitter life with all my suffering, as you know, are closely connected with the Bible, where I declare my present faith and my future hopes are contained, as from thence I contemplate the Lord making himself manifest in a new ay to the people and nations ; when I say ima new way, 1 mean renewing what is old, the church and the world This is the reson why—thongh I care little about talking and fighting upon questionable points, as viewed by different sects, which like Martha of the Gospel, are “careful and troubled about many things’'—I, with many, prefer to go directly where Jesus is, resting at his fret and hearing his word—at the feet of Jesus, where is the Bible, as I wish to stay con- — apart from those many ‘things about which have years past been careful and troubled; so thither I vould invite to return all those who withdrew and de- rted from—to the Bible, namely, at the fe-t of Jesus. I ould recall the church of my native country, the good Jeople of Rome, whove frith at the time of the apostle Paul was sp ken throughout the world,’ to the Bible, and only to the Bible, farfrom whatever sectarianism there is in the Bible, a true catholic and apostolic religion. What is comforting to my heart, sir, is to see that the good ple of Italy, beginning with those of Rome, are now Eirning themselves to the Bible, not only for the purpose of destroying popery, but chiefly for edifying a new and betier Christianity. these wise men political affairs are made slike subservient to religious matters, as for instance the putting Austrians to flight, putting down priests, friars, the ope with hisindulgences, the wership- ping of saffts, the confessing toa man, the believing in Purgatory, and se on. It is true that there are in Italy, gs in every part of the work, men who care but littie sbout religion. There are even such as you could searce- Jy find anywhere, hating religion in their hearts, and ing whatever may be, or is called religion, would Gonsist but in priestcraft. There are Deists in Italy, and_ thanks for all this to the Popish Church. There are even atheists. What then? Surely the best of Italy is not represented by such a few whom we detest, and I know how in Italy itself they are gene- rally despised; there are in Italy infidels as there are thieves and murderers. Italians are, by their good na- ture, moral and religious people, as you may well infer it by their having so long been ever superstitious. Now hey are po more papists, since they have seen popery gone far from any religious truth and practice. There , thank God, a sentiment of goodness prevalling in the hearts of Itelians, upon which the sentiment of truth is @asily grounded. They are perfectly aware that the so called Catholicism is ro more truth, although priests are daily insisting upon demonstrating and strengthening it by a fair set of arguments, People of Italy, beginning aver with that of Rome, do no more believe in the Beven sacraments, which are to be paid for; neither in the mass, nor in the miracles, and soon. They would ‘tell you that the holiness of the Pope is such a tale not unlike the celibacy of his priests, an imposition upon the mort credulous and stupid minds. They are looking, then, for a better religion, viz. better faith, a better Mfe,'a better clergy, a better worship. The question is, which is the better possible in this world, as they are eonvinced that the very best is but in heaven to be finally found. The Bible will answer the question. Now, such a religious improvement, my fellow country- ‘men, don’t search anywhere but in the same word by which all things were and are made both in heaven and @arth. Fortunately enough, the Church of Rome, ever forrupting and adulterating ‘the Scriptures, teaches her Mollowers that all in the Bible (provided it is interpreted St her own fashion) is to be reckoned as truth of God; 2 so she leaves the basis, the very foundstion upon ich we may build the edifice of God. The only thing ought to provide for such good and interesting peo- ple now is a good new Bible’s Italian translation. The y we have in our language do no more correspond to Sie ‘preser and future wants. They are translations, more or Jess from that bad one the Vulgate. Ma- Jer})i, Brogioli, Bustici, Martini, &c., are the authors of Buch’ translations. The only one ceserving to be recom Mended is Diodati’s, published about two centuries ago, in Switzerland, republished in Loudon by the Bible Bociety. I think it is from the origisal Hebrew and Greek; but its Italian, though once good and pure, is no Znore familiar, because the written and spoken in our @ountry are by no means clear in several pee; so that reader is his intellect is fatigued. Every clever gman would have, I think, Diodati’s translation. No one, I sure, would but long for a new and better one, whose Present want causes many of Italians to abstain from Feading the Word of God. Well, a new one is almost ready; the New Testament is on the His transla- ion is from the correct Greek. The Old Testamen:, taken From Hebrew, shall, God willing, be ready in about a year, ‘@nd it will also, as I hope, be published in New York by his same American Bible Union. Such a translation had undertaken six years since, (November, °47) when I, then in the isl of Malta, was first charged to pre: , new Italian translation of all the Bible by the jean and Foreign Bible Society, through the medium wf the Rev. Secretary, Mr. Wyckoff, at present connected the American Bible Society. For such a difficult ‘Bask I bad already prepared many sketches, ax I caught the opportunity of consulting occasionally s¢veral learned men; but I worked it chiefly consulting by prayer the ‘wisdom of God, which the ‘Hely Writ has dictated. You know, ag the reason—the chief reason—of my trans. i as Atlantic journey, of my calling on you, and of sy t living, ‘silent, solitary, aud alike unknown, in B retired country place. 1 want to nccompliah aa soon as ible such a work for my dear Italy and my dearly Rome. So it shall happen that America, this New World, discovered by an Italian, named by another Ttalian, would be providentially called to show—to pre Bent the motherland of Columbus and Americus, in her own language, newly translated, the oracles of God, dix Wovering just now new heavens and new earth, forming Mew men, and in a new city, which is nething else but a pew church sent down from heaven—new in all things, from the first to the last. This is the Bible, from which you have already drawn a great deal of wisdom, ai a and freedom, that have made you such a good people and a mighty nation. At the conclusion of Rev.’Dr. Achilli’s remarks the Meeting was addressed by Rev. John L. Waller, LL. D., of , after whieh Rev. 0. B. Judd read the following Ferolution —- artial reports which the this and former o \d doings of the Amer yrmation of wees of ofthe hile they render tha:ks to Him who openeth and | resolut a needed im connection with this ' ard im the course of which he animadverted se- verely on the o urse pursued by a religious paper, one of whose correspondents had sriticiaed the proceedings of one of their meetings in a rather scurrilous manner. His re- solution was adopte! unanimously. then sang the doxology after whi journed ‘The following resolution was passed at an early part of the proceedings: Reulved, That wo roguest. the Board of Managors of the i Y, January noxt, for Union to deésiguate th in fasting and eer, for of God to rest upon the the board of the Union and its revi Laying the Corner Stone of a Jewish Edu- cational Institute. Yesterday afternoon the ceremony took place of laying the corner stone of B’nai Jeshurun Educational Institute, which is intended for the youth of the Jewish persuasion, in the vacant lot adjoimmg the Jewish synagogue in Greene street, and situated on the northerly side of the latter The building, which is now in active progress of erection, will be 26 feet wide by 100 feet deep, and will be three stories high, having in the front a basement, but the rear will be arched over. By this means there is formed « playground for the children underneath, which extends likewise into the lot on which the synagogue is situated, so that ample accommodation is afforded them for recreation in every sort of weather. The building will be of brick, in the\Goth ie style of architecture, to resemble that of the adjoining church, and will cost $18,000. It will be divided inside into ten class rooms, with other re- quisite apartments, and every care will be taken to provide sufficient ventilation. The course of studies, we are in- formed, will be of s liberal description, similar to that pursued in other colleges, it being intended to make this institution hereafter a place of education for youths brought up to the Jewish ministry. ‘The ceremony was delayed for a short time by some angry dispute between the Building Committee, the cause of which we could not make out. In the programme it had been arranged that Mr. Bennet Kine, Chairman of the Building Committee, should first handle the trowel, not a la mason, but in order to hand it to another, by whom it should be headed to a third, who should hand it over to Dr. Rapball, the appointed mason to lay the corner stone. This arrangement, however, did not appear to please Mr. Bepnet King, who at last withdrew from the place with anothe: member of the Building Committee, fullof angry wrath, but at what we know not. The processitr, on the withdrawal of the above named gentlemen, took 'up their line of march from the base- ment of the synagogue, which is at present occupied as a school, to the place where the corner stone waa to be laid, when the trowel was presented to Dr. Raphall. Mr. Myers, one of the Building Comuiittee, first handed it to the President of the Congregation, Mr. D. Samsoa, with a few remarks appropriate to the occasion. The latter then handed it over to Mr. Mark Levy, President of the Insti- tution, with the following words :—“It is my duty to present this first to you, Air President, and lot me-add that it comes through the hands of one of your oldest members, having been for thirteen years connected with this congregation.” Mr. Mark Levy, on receiving it, said: Mr, President, I can bear witness to your indefatigable exertions in this undertaking, and I hepe that you will be spared for many years to carry out what Judaism requires.” ‘The speaker then turned to Dr. Raphall, and said: ‘I trust that here- after this institution will become a college for educating youth for the Jewish ministry in the United States. This trowel, which I hold in my hand, presents a type of brotherly love like this institution, in which the children of one denomination, but of different nations, will be brought up together. To you I must say that this insti- tution owes its aggrandizement, and after having raised the same 1 am sure that you will not relax yeur exer- tions, but rather increase them. You have spent upon it your labor, time, mind and erudition, and you have bronght his school to be one that not only pays for it- self, but has a large surplus, and in the course of a short time has raised the funds for building a school house that will cost $18,000. I trust that we sball have your ser- vices for many years to come, aud hope hereafter to be able to say that we raised a college up. Dr. Raphall then took the trowel. which was presented to him, and said, “I receive with thanks your kind acknowledgment for my services, and I will now proceed with it to cloee the corner stone of a building in which the children of the house of Israel may be instructed to be good citizens and useful men. It-will presently be ay oflice to address this assembly in a more suitable place. The following document, written om parchment in Eng- lish and Hebrew was then’ read aloud by the Reverend Doctor in both languages. “ K. K.

God prosper the Institute,’ The above, together with the HsraD and other daily New York newspapers, and. the Gccident, a Hebrew news- aper published in Philadelphia, as well’as all the United States coins, from a cent toa gold dollar piece, were de- posited in the box, which having been placed in its des- tined situation, Dr. Raphall proceeded to close it up. The trowel, which was of silver, with an agate handle, had the following inscription engraved upon the face -— “Presented to the Rev. Dr. Raphall, on his laying the corner stone of the B. J. school house, on Friday, 5th Tishri, 5614 (7th Oct., °53.)” After the ceremony the assemblage proceeded to the interior of the sy: e, when the following address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. RaPHatt. :— My Frurxps—The ceremony which we have just now performed, though in itself not religious, nor directed by our laws and observances, is nevertheless not without the sanction of holy writ; for we find that at the erection of Zion’s holy temple King Solomon consecrated the eentre of the court by a ceremony not unlike the one we have just now performed for the purpose of solemnly, and un- der the free yault of heaven, invoking the bless- ing of the Most High on the undertaking in which we engage. Andas thus our ceremony has a high and holy sanction, as well as @ sacred and solemn purpose, let us begin by offering our heartfelt thanks to our merciful Father for that ke has permitted us to enter on this im- portant enterprise; and let us furthermore beseach him, that as he has hitherto graciously deigned to bless our design, so may he still vouchsafe to help, that the build- ing which we erect, and the purpose for which we intend it, may prosper. Yes, my friends, we all have great cause to thank Him, (blessed be His holy name,) for per- mitting us to witness this day; and among us all none has greater cause for thankfulness than] have. Permit me, therefore, to oceupy your attention for a few mo- ments with a subject which, from this pulpit, I rarely if ever mention, and that is myself I am rapidly falling into the seer and yellow leaf of life. I feel that time resent ix gliding from me; and my future, who knows ow brief that may be? Let me, then, indulge in the privilege which, since the days of Nestor, and long before im, too, has been the consolation of the aged—the privi- lege of recalling the past. Full twenty years have I been before the public. The will of Providence assigned to me a new field of labor in the vineyard of the Lord, and, lit- tleas Imay have done, I have worked hard; nor has my toil been without ita reward. As a writer, a speaker, and a public man, my efforts in the cause of Tiracl have inet re: cognition greater than they deserved; and in the Old World as in the Dew my pame is, thanks be to God, not unfavor- ably known. All this there was no occasion to tell you; but I mention it as the suitable introduction to the solemn declaration, that among the many mercies that have at- tended my podlic life there are three events for which Iam especially thankful to the Supreme Disporer of All Good. The first is my instrumentality in building the Hebrew National School in Birmingham; the second, the address of thanks voted to me by the Mayor and Gentile citizens of Birmingham when I left for this country; and last, but greatest, laying of the foundation stone of your school this day. I say greatest, for it is working, not only for the present, but also, and even in a more important degree, for the future. We must not be blind to the signs of the times. Everything foretells that whilst the old, corrupt and despotic monarchies of Europe are doomed to decay, this young and glorious republic will increase in power, and multiply in population, until even mighty Bri- tain will have to descend from its proud pre-eminence, and yield the first rank to the United Stated of America. And that supreme rank which thus inevitably awaits this commonwealth in power, moral, mental, and material —that same influence inseparable from power which the United States are called to wield among the nations of earth—we American Jews are called to exercise ameng our own people in every of the globe. We alone are citizens and freemen; we alone hold equal rights, and en- force them. Our country alone, in ita vast extent and boundless resources, offers home to our injured brethren in every part of the world. But it should be, it must be, our care to be propared and fully qualified for our high destiny, When the fugitives land on our hospitable shores we must be able to usher them into that higher staté of moral and intellectual conscionsness which betits the freeman. We must be prepared to take their children by thehand. We must clesuse their young minds from every taint that Russian tyranny and Anstre-Ravarian bigotry may have branded them withal. “We must train them to become Israelites, true to their rv and sympathizing with the oppressed of lineage. We must train them to bec vens worthy of their country, whose voice be heard and respected wherever the hand of fanaticism ir rained to injure, or the arm of dexpotiom {4 stretched out to dispoil their brethren, And instrument for working out this great good is your school, not only in the example it sets, which other Jewish congregations will follow, nor in the system it introduces, which other nools will be glad to adopt, but still moro, in a higher more important de: by its own direct activity. Al ready I see the time coming when the her branches of knowledge will be as assiduously cultivated in your school as ita rudiments are at prevent. Already 1 see gifted ouths from among it* pupils standing rand proclaim ing their intention of ministering at the altar of religion © noon as they can be properly trained in a Jewial rol lege. Already I vee the spiril of zeal active amon; and even aa it created thie sehool—t call it eo for it was the production of something out of nothing—~ } see it busy in extending your educational institutions into a collegiate one ; and ‘then th t work w greve—and this congregation, Winai Josharun, and in every respect the first ‘among Jews in t States, will add to its other claims that of * cational benefactor of your brethren throughout t} for your school will lay the founda will complete the structure of th all cla and general, whie y become the spiritual teachers of thia gr And when we have robbins and ministers trained in Ameri sympathi+ing with the people from which they sprung, and with the spirit of the law in which thoy live, free, moral and religious, then tho among ua whow the Lord permits to see that happy day, will witness the spirit regeneration of Am: rican Isracl—that geowne and much- reform which consists net im fang 8 the eut-, form of eur holy religion, but im reviving 43 lawned spirit. For the of religious knowledge is certain thd irresistible. And think not that I promiae too much, that my anticipations are too sanguine. You all know that last year, among the children belonging to this con- gregetion, there were probably not six under the age of thirteen, who could understand or translate any portions of the New Year or Atonement prayer. Your school, in its present confined locality, has, since January last, been open eight months, one month having been absorbed by vacation; and in these eight months forty boys and fifteen girls have learnt to translate and can well under- stand the greater portion of these difficult Hebrew prayers, addition to the daily and Sabbath service. And think not that this progress in Hebrew has been acquired at the expense of their secular education ;for I feel no hesitation in declaring that their general p during the time the school has been open will favorably sustain 2 comparison with what has been done in other higher-priced and more fashionable schools, You thus see, my friends, by the experience of the past, that] am not over sanguine for the fature. But, my friends, to realise your expectations and my own, itis necessary that every department of the institute should have the constant and untiring attention of the directors to whom you entrust the management of affairs. Those, if any there be, who court the honors of then’ neglect its duties contract a serious re- sponsibility, For what is it that makes the public ward schools flourish ? The never-wearied zeal of the Board of Faucation—the constant attention to the duties of its members and committees. Let but that same zeal animate all the directors you appoint, and, with the blessing of God, all that you expect will be realised. My naming the ward schools may induce some of you to say “that was an ill-advised word for the Doctor to introduce in his dls- course. The ward schools are good and free. Why should not our children go there; and at the same time learn Hebrew as best they ‘can?’ I answer, such has been the usage during the last twenty years, and you behold its effects in the lamentable ignorance of religion, which embitters the life of the young people who have been thus brought up. Of the schooling to be paid here I speak not, for most of you are, thank God, well able to afford it, and should theré be some few who cannot do 80, we open our hearts and our doors to their children, and the teachers know no distinction. Bear in mind that the Israelite has a twofuld character to support—in each he has duties to sustain, which require instruction. He is an American citizen, and rust be trained for his social duties. He is a Jew, and must be instructed in the reli- gion and language of his fathers. The one species of teaching represents the body, the second the soul. Pay the same attention at least'to the higher wants of the soul ax you do to the every day requirements of the body, your children will not be worse American citizens, an much better Jews. As they grow up afford those of your sons who have a decided vocation for the ministry the same opportunities that you bestow on those who are intended for secular avocation, and the,success of those pious youths in their sacred calling will delight your souls when comes the dark hour of parting and all earthly grandeur is vain. Thus to all your children, whatever be their bent of mind, you will have done your duty. And that higher duty which you owe to Larael, to America, to mankind—who ‘will hold parents responsible for the bias they give to the mind of the rising genera- tion—that duty you will have acquitted to the best of your ability, by placing your children here, where religion and secular training go hand in hand, so that our pupils may take their atand among the best educated and best disposed citizens of the land, May it be the will of our God that what we intend piously and honestly be carried out successfully, that light and truth and knowledge may spread over the land. Let us pray. Merciful Father, thou who hast given us thy holy law, and hast commanded us “Ye shall diligently teach your children,” youchsafe from thine high and holy habitation to look’down and to bless the structure of which this day U-have laid the cor ner stone, that therein our children may be educated in the fear of thee, to love thee and to obey thy law. 0, let our undertaking prosper and be established before thee; let rest thereon thy light and thy truth, to endow thy people with the spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and of might. the spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord, until com- eth the day when the Lord shall be one and his name shall be ong. Grant, we beseech thee, 0 Lord, the ful- eas of th blessing anto the land, the State andthe city wherein we live, unto the inhabitants thereof, and unto the rulers and magistrates whom they have appointed. Even as they are friendly with us do thou spread the canopy of thy peace over them and over the land. Even as they protect us, so that there be no one to make us afraid, even so do thou extend thy protecting hand over them and preserve them, so that pestilence, famine and war may not afllict them, nor ary evil come nigh their dwellings. But as they permit us freely to share with them the abundance of thy blessings, which thou hast bestowed on their land and ours, even so do thou extend and secure unto them and us those blessings, and render them and us worthy to enjoy thy manifold mercies in love and fear of thee. Bless, Father, thy people Israel in every part of the world. Guard them, prosper them, be thou their refuge and their fortress,’ now and ever- more. And unto this congregation, its rulers, its mem- bers, with their wives and children, and unto all that are here assembled, vouchsafe 1o grant health, and life and rosperity. Pardon our sins, and incline our hearts to fear thee, to love thee, and to walk in thy ways, now and evermore. Amen. The above concluded the ceremonies, but it may be as well to mention here that the number of children of both sexes educated at the school ix 180, but that application for two and three times the number have been made, which it is at present impossible to grant on account of the limited size of the present school rooms. When the new building is completed there will be room for a much greater number. American Bible Society. ‘The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Managers was held on Thursday the 6th at 414 o'clock, Dr. Thcmas Cock, presiding, assisted by Benjamin L. Swan, Esq. Nine new auxiliaries were recognized, of which two are in Ohio, two in Jowa, and in Minoia, North Carolina, Ten nessee, Georgia, and Missouri, one each. A letter was read from Rev. L. 8. Jacoby, of Bremen, ith accounts of Bible distribution in Germary; one from . R. C.

Worcester, in regard to Cherokee Scriptures; one from Rev. C. D. zie, Madura, asking funds to purchase Scriptures: from Rey. Dr. Justin W.

Last evening Rey. J. P. Thompson delivered his second lecture on Egypt, at the Tabernacle, before a very re- spectable audience. His eubject was—Thebes’ Temples and Palaces, the vocal Memnon, Rurnak by Moonlight,” &c. He began by saying, that to enjoytthe scenery of Egypt the traveller should have sufficient time to thor- oughly examine the country. We were, said the lecturer, twenty-eight days getting up the Nile as far as Thebes, but oncur return it took us only eighteen days to de scend the river. The traveller rhould go there at the right season of the year—not when the Nile was over- flowed, nor when the sun was very warm—but he sheuld arrive in December, and remain there until March. Of Inte years a stesmboat has plied up and down the Nile, under the patronage of the Pacha. But for hiv part he did not see the use in travelling up the Nile in a steam- boat, the only advantage derived being the escape from beggars, fir everybody in Feypt is beggar. The little girl will run up to you, shouting ‘ Buckshee !”” Boys of all sizes will, ‘at’ all times, and w all occasions assail your ears with the ery of “Buckshee,” “Buckshee.”” The meaning of this word is “Give me,” meaning, of course, in that land of penury, alms. As the traveller ascends the Nile he should always take advan- tage of the wind. They should not stop to see anything along the shoe while the north wind blows, but coming down the river they might, as the current was in their favor, inspect all the ruins'as they went along. He then wished to direct their attention to the City of Thebes Before, however, describing the city, he went back to the early rep and foundation of the great city by Menas. ‘The earliest history of this city, said the lec- turer. is to be found in the Scriptures, and whatever might be the contradictions of Herodotus, the Bible was, in his estimation, entitled to respect. Inasmuch ay there were no monuments erected in Egypt before the Flood, he submitted that the records of Moses were entitled to more respect than the writings of Herodotus. The ruins of the lower part of Egypt were very remarkable. Their great age might seem an exaggeration, but when sculp ture was to be found as unimpaired as any in this city, containing the names and deeds of monarchs inscribed thereon who lived about 2,000 years 90, there could be no mistake about the date of their erection. Upon the tombs were inscribed the manners and customs of the country at that time. Here then was ample material for a correet history of it, provided we have the key. In some places they could find the cames of the ancient monarchs inseribed in an oval form on the tombs. The key to the Fgyptian language was discovered merely threugh the ingenuity ef Dr. Young, and was Rosetta stone. These stones had teesiptions languages—in the Greek, in the common language, and in hieroglyphics. The Egyptian alphabet was found by him to be pictorial and phonetic, and bythe key thus found man} of there hieroglyphies ‘have Sonn very intelligibly reed. The audience knew that Fart was colonized by the children of the Fast, or by ths childrea of Ham; and it is a well-establihed fact that civilization extended from the north to the south. It began in the region of Alexandria, and from thence extended south as far as Thebes. Egypt is an agricultural country, and yields abundaatl, the ne easaries of human life.’ They were told that the re- gion of the Nile was peopled by over seventy millions of people. The attention of these people was early turned to astronomy. beh amd that the early government of that country was a hierarchy, in which the priesthood were the government. However, a monarchy sprung up very evrly, under the auypise\ of Ments, who built the city of Memphis, and turned the Nile, by an immense dyke, £0 as to secure the site of th ven in in three y. This city is sup- por 1 to have flourished about 2,520 years before Christ, ches was built 600 years before Rome. Tae lee- turer then proceeded to give a history of this onntry from its first colonization up to the present time.

The temples of Thebes aro in a re markable state of preservation, and now remain living, speaking monuments, of what they were 2,000 years ago. us you find on those walls of the Kurnak the history of Egypt as well as it can be found. There are but little remains of grand private houses except in the region of Kurnak, where there are some magnificent remains of the residences of the powerful and rich; their tombs, with their names insoribed theron, are also to be found in abundance. If the traveller should go there he should first visit the tombs of Thebes, which would take a whole day. He should also visit Kurnak, which would take him at least two days. had inquired of the oldest inhabi- tant (pointing to the statne,) and yet he never told me anything of the nineteenth century. His time wax nine- teen centuries, not after but before Christ. The traveller nee is not steamboats when you can go up the Nile in forty days. What want they of railroads when they had no roads} “What wanted they of telegraph, when there wax nothing to telegraph? What needed they of penny newspapers, when they read nothing but those immense obelisks and temples. What is the nineteonth century compared with that of Fgypt. You may talk of Broadway and its churches in this city; why, all the stone materials used in their construction would not build the Temple of Kumnak. | Why, Thebes could hol: New York in its lap. Yet Kurnak, which began in the nineteenth con- tury before Christ, in not mouldered away—it is as fresh to-day as any monument just erected. All the wealth of the rich merchants of New York could not begin to build the great temple of Kurnak. You might stand at one of its walls, and, looking back, you can see the outer wall, two thourand feet away from you, ‘The grand structure co- versfa space of two miles. But what was that in those days, when Thebes could pour forth twenty thousand chariots, ina town here all the luxuries could be brought inte the midst of her city from Ethiopia, Persia, Palestine and the Levant. —Heypt was the mother of all the arts—was the soho! of sll tho arts—painting, woulpture, poetry, and philosophy.

He then went back to the early history of ypt, as recorded in the Bible, with which our readers are no doubt well acquainted. "The traveller could find rewnants of Christianity, but the greater portion of which were swept away during the Mahomngdan inva- sim. Thus, in those ruins can be found a history of all ations that were in posession and invaded Heypt. He then went on to say that he, with some of his friends, while visiting the ruins of Thebes by moonlight, was struck with awe at the grandeur of its obelisky and the immense size of its temples, which, at this day, after the lapse of perhaps 2,000 years, are as fresh and as little decayed as the buildings of a ‘modern city. Ina very beautiful mannor he then reviewed the past history of tgypt, dwelling upon the power and splendor of the sovereigns of that country, and of the number of large and magnificent buildings ‘that they, one by one, erect- ed. He attributed the downfall of’ Egypt to the cruel and unjust manner in which they treated the Hebrews whom one of the Ptolemys, asa means of restoring Bayt to its former grandeur, endeavored to exterminate. little did he think that’ one would spring from that race before whom we all will one day have to appear to answer for our sins. There said the rev. gentleman, is a picture of Memnop, (pointing toa painting over his head.) It was just the day before 1 left Thebes that I hired an Arab boy to scramble up into the top of the structure, and presenily there grated upon my ears sharp ringi noise such as grated upon the ears of those who liv two thousand years ago. In the top of the structure was a sounding stone, which when struck with a hammer, gave a loud and ringing noise, somewhat like the toll of 'a bell. He then concluded by saying that the structfire of Mem- non which now sounds upon the dismal plain of Thebes, echoes the fall of Fgypt, for what was that ory but “Buekshee! Buckshee!” The Law Courts—The Late Judge Paine. Oct. 7.—Chief Justice Oakley, on taking his seat on the bench of the Superior Court, announced, that in conse- quence of the lamented death of his late associate, Judge Paine, the court would stand adjourned until Monday morning. The special term, before Judge Duer, was also adjourned for the day. The general term of the Supreme Court, before the five judges, was, on motion of Mr. Bid- well, adjourned to Monday. The Court of Common Pleas, rt first, on motign of Mr. Girardus Clark, seconded by ir. James T. Brady, and after a fow feeling remarks from Judge Woodruff, adjourned; part second, before Judge Daly, and special term, before Judge Ingraham, were also adjourned, out of respect to the late Justice Paine. The U. & Distriet Court, before Judge Betts, was ad- journed on the motion of Mr. J. O'Sullivan, seconded by ir. W. Q. Morton; Judge Betts remarking that it was pe- culiarly appropriate for this Court to pay respect to the late Judge Paine, as he was at one time the official re- porter of the Circuit Court. The Marine Court paid a similar tribute to the memory of the deceased judge. Death has, within fourteen months, claimed four vic- tims from the judiciary of this city, namely, Judge Sand ford, Chief Justice Jones, Judge Lynch and Judge Paine; andalso Judge Judson, (of Connecticut) who occasion: ally presided here in the United States courts. ‘There will be a meeting of the bench and bar held at 12 o'clock Saturday, in the general term room of the Superior Court, in respect to the memory of Judge Paine.
