The Attorney General has given an orinion to the becretary of State of cousiderable importance to those engaged in commercial affairs with Canada, It is in re- {ation to Consular foes under the act of March 3, 1859, for certifying invoices ot goods made duty free by the Reciprocity Treaty. Judge Black bolds, first, ‘that no more than fifty cents can be charged for the entire certificate, without reference to its form; second, that Consuls, as well as ‘the Consul-General, are subject to this restriction; and, third, that the act applies to Consuls in all British ‘North American{provinces included im the provisions of the treaty. This construction of the law will relieve ‘commerce of some of its burdens, while it will also ma- terially reduce the perquisites of the Consuls. Considerable enmity to reciprocity, arising from causes purely local, bas been manifested here recently, but as a general policy it meets the commendation of all com mercial men and statesmen. ‘TUR BXAMINATION OF THE CHIRIQUI COAL FIRLDS AND HARBORS. The Secretary of the Navy has designated Captain Frederick Engle, of the Navy, to take charge of the ex- amination of the Chiriqui coalfields and harbors. The “War Department has detailed Lieut. James St. Clair Mor ton, of the United States Engineer Corps, as a member of ‘the commission in charge of the surveys.

The results of this examination involve an expenditure by the govern- ment of three Lundred thousand dollars, and hence the importance of selecting competent officers to conduct it. Both Engle and Morton stand deservedly high in their respective branches of the servise, TUF GOVERNMENT FINANCES. Cougress during the last session having made no provi- sion whatever for the increase of the revenue—the Loan bill being specifically designed for the redemption of the outstanding Treasury notee—the government is left to entirely depend om its ordinary receipts for ite eupport, but with strict cconomy there is no appre- tension of embarrassment, and the appropriations for objects not urgently or immediately required may, there- fore, not be expended, unless it shall hereafter appear ‘that there is an increase of the financial means beyond the present anticipations, ‘The Treasury commenced the fiscal year July 1, with about four millions of dollars on hand, and the customs revenues indicate a heavy commercial business, the re- ceipts of lust week being extraordinarily large. As the Loan act provides only for the redemption of ‘freasury notes, the Department has no intention to invite proposals under it at this time, TOSTMASTERS APPOINTED, The President has appointed the following named Post- anasters:—At Rutland, Vermont, James McDaniels; St. Albans, Vermont, Joba J.

Un-_ derhill, the English Agent—Christianity | aad the Indian Mutiny—The Emanci- Pation Qacstion—Condition of the West | Indies—The Observations of a British come by the New York Clergy. Edward Beane Underlil!, Faq., of London, Foreign Se- | Cretary of the English General (Baptist) Missionary So- Indies, and by invitation yesterday forenoon addressed & maeeting of the clergy of New York and vicinity, and other persons, at the rooms of the Baptist Bible Union, in Broome street. He has been four or five ycars engaged officially in visiting the missions of his denomination in India, Ceylon, Burmah and the West Indies, and the object of the meeting was to hear from him some account of the state of those missions. Some forty or fifty clergymen were present (among them Rev. F. 0. Neillson, who was lately banished from Sweden), and avout an equal num- ber of Jadies. Rev. Dr. Grnierre presided over the meeting. After the singing of a hymn and prayer by Rev. Dr. Webb, of New Brunswick, the missionary agent was introduced. He is & plump, well conditioned man, thirty-five or forty years of age, rather discursive in his style of speaking, and has a peculiar English habit of misusing and neglecting the letter b in his pronunciation. Mr. Usperaiit, in the first part of his remarks, treated cf the missions in Asia and the East Indies, the character of the natives, the mode opera- ‘and the: success; the |, &, He the Hindoos asa gent’ reco, but in 8 shocking sta of moral and p fs Bical ity. Some of their “pundiis,"’ or said, were in tho habit of reading. the writings ene Parker aud others of his acuool, and mauy were atheists, bat favorably duposed towards Christ anit . Under- bill next spoke of his late visit to tho West India mis. sionaries, He had visited Trinidad, iayt and other West | India islands, and had spent five months in the island of Jamaica, aud was prepared to deny, utterly, the state- ments that either emancipation or missionary labors | ad proved a failure in that island. Hoes WA Devel set ihe other West India islands with a glad heart and thankf to God. All the islands under British [gy oe roy Trinidad, were Obristian islauds—more C! sort than Ei itself. There were more ae oe members in proportion to the popelasion, o and a greater attendance upon public worship, he thought, , than in any other part of tho world. Tn some not a single fainily was accustomed to being abgent from public wor- | ship, and the same was true to a great extent of the | island of Jamaica. There could not be less than 180,000 people in Jamaica under direct retigious instruction. At the eastern end of the island there were few missionaries and a scattered population, and, therefore, less generai rejigious instruction; but in St! Anne's bay there was vot two per cent of the inhabitants but were in ths haoit of attending worship. ‘There had been, it was true, since emancipation, a considerable falling away from the churches; but that was attributable to natural causes. ‘he excitement attending emancipation itself had died , town, and there had been time for the purification of the | churebes and the exercise of duo discipline. on | cipation the people were a great deal in the hands of the | church leaders, who were mostly uneducated, illiterate The missionariet could rarely visit the p!antations, copt by stealth. But since emancipation the loaders ‘ were more instructed and were directly under the eyes of » the missionaries, who were better acquainted with the | people, and altogether the churches were more thorough- | ly im the hands of their pastors. Hence, there had natu- | rally been some considerable diminution. Again, the cir- | cumstances of the country were such as to constrain great numbers to leave their original locations and resort to more mountainous regions ia search of cheap lands. yet there were not sufficient name te for reaching * wanderers. Another cause of decrease was to be had aide them but very tittle, fifteon of sixteen native pastors anni ond te done everything else at their own cost. ‘Thero 8 | ke dim aution in the Wesleyan body.

There is mot 4 more disadvantage- ous plot of ground for a military display or dri! than ‘Madizon ‘square, and why it was selected for this coca- gion is a question we cannot answer. The Geaeral Super- intendent of Police, Police Inspector James Leonard, aud Police Captains Turnbull, Williamson, Cameron and Dow- Ung, with detachments of men from their several wards—in all about two hundred—were early on t in the square, where they formed a circle, the officers in the centre, and were im the manua! of arms, shoulder arms, secure arms, fix- ing apd uniixing bayonets, charge loadings nd firings. “After a short rest hool of the company, and marched column by | and company, in double ranks, and at wick and { Wine quick time. In the skirmish dri I, which furmed the last part of the drill, they deployed by flank, extended intervals, closed inte rvals, railied by fours on the centre, and monceuyred in the bayonet exercise. Tho topography of Madison square, and the many obstructions caused by the trees and benches, prevented a full display of the dis- cipline of the Zouaves, and the consequence was that they did not acquit themselves with that precision and correct- ness they exhibited in the drill on Siturday last. iterate our opivion, expressed ina former pal , that we have several companies in the First division that can excel the Zouaves in the loadings and firings.
