The Crystal Palace has a hall of far inferiar capacity, and its or. chestra and choruses are in far smaller | proportions. The view was as grand as the song. Stretching back from the stand ofthe Director two hundred feet, and spreading a hundred and fifty feet on euch side, was a solid mass of what Herbert Spencer would call vocal und instrumental force. A hundred feet squore was a level avea, appropriated tothe musicans, Thence arose in tiers the singers, ten thousand stroog. Suchamass of people packed into such a space probably was never seen before. It was only equalled by the cor- responding crowds which crowded the restof the mighty auditorium, Even on the opening day the mass was iultitudin- ous. The ereaand front gallery were vacked, and the side galleries nearly full. Ten thousand people listened to the ten thousand voices, and the thnnder of their cheey was one of the sublimest part of the performance, The services began with a prayer by Rey. Mr. Hale, reverent. compact. and uppropriate, save in its signal silence of ascription of praise to Him before whom all the multitude of the heavenly hosts fall and raise their voice of praise as the sound of many waters. It was noticeable that hardly « sound of his voice reached halt down the amphitheatre, and this first essay showed how impossible it was to make this a hall for preaching, as has been suggested, Mayor Shurtleff wisely con- tented himself with reading a few senten- ces in his ordinary tone from hishat. Mr, Rice was more ambitious, aud gesticulated dor fifteen minutes to an audience; two thirds of whom did not hear a word, harilly asound. He subsided in his patriotic pees: with cheers from the non- iearers, and the chorus began—* A Strong ‘Tower is our God.” How grandly that grand choral of Luther’s rolled forth: «'Bhe' mighty soul of the mighty Reformer could ulmost have heard it in the high heavens, had the gatés been’ as ajar as some im- agine, ‘The effeet was overwhelming. ‘Tears foie. ‘ftom many eyes, and one could” hardly keep from’ exclaiming, * Truly God is in this place.” This effect was in tones; not words: No word could be caught,’ Though the singers pronounced them very distinctly, yet either the properties of the ‘hall, or'the iood of music drowhed the ‘words. It was the thunder of melody. “Tie waves ot solemn sound rose and fell, soit and loud, with unspeakable majesty: “Phe pianissimo passages were as remarkable as their opposities. To make this myriad ol voices soft asa single whisper, was a triomph of training and culture that! was as exciting almost as the contrary ‘storm und madness, 2 : ‘The Star-spangled Banner” introduc- ed all the effects promised, except the hundred anvils. ‘The organ thundeted, drums beat, trumpets rung, viols sereech- ed, and voices broke in, wave on wave of astonishing power, capped, yet not sur- passed by the cannonade, ‘This was play- ed by one sitting close by the Director, his thumb pressing a bulb, and instantly liring acannon, Such a yolume of music Was neyer dreamed of by any poct save one, him of Patmos and the Apocalypse. Milton’s choruses and orchestras, Word- worth’s ** King’s Chapel,” and ‘Ode to Sound,” Lowell's organ in the ‘ Legend oof Brittany,”--all ave paltry prose by the side of this highest poetry, theactuality of to-day. The great audience rose, flung :their hats, swung their handkerchicts, shouted, clapped, in a word were almost beside themselves in joy and admiration. | Solemnly grand was Keller's American Hymn, and Holmes’s words, though these jacked the sacred fullness that the hour and the music demanded. Yct more ex- citing, if possible, was ** Inflammatus,” the thrilling extract from Rossini’s ‘* Stabat nive ed all over the country, silent, yet the ringing of those hundred anvils, like a shrill soprano, overtopped the whole, and erowned at once the genius that conceived, and the one that here was executing this daring teat. with like attendants, closed the scene, and the thousands upon thousands, an audience larger than many an inland city, went reel- iag from under the deluge, moments, with ease and fur less crowding than the sidewalks exhibited mile from the building, the multitude lett the vast amphitheatre, ** America,” In a few for halla Such was the first day, The others were like unto it, a success that will be historic and world-re-nowned, Suid a travelled gentleman just home irom round the world, * I never heard the like of that in Europe, nor shall I till 1 hear the mul- titude of the heavenly host.” ** You don't know that,” was the reply, ‘you have not yet tested the measure of Mr. Gilmore’s capabilities.” The projector was happiest ofthe happy.

While tiking a short drive. through the settlement, we were particularly pleased with its well cultivated fields and thrifty appearance. Malpeque is one of our oldest settlements, and its good people are shrewd farmers. From early in the morning up to three o'clock in the evening, the folks came pouring in to the tea grounds from all directions, till one would suppose that Prince County had well nigh exhausted its resources in that line. ‘The grounds around the Church were decorated with trees and ever-greens, which, formed a nice cool shade. ‘The tea tables were set in the new Church building. ‘This handsome structure is substantially and nicely completed outside,and when finish- ed inside, will be a comfortable and com- modious place of worship, as also a credit to the congregation and an ornameut to the country, ‘The order, arrangement and gencral working of the whole affuir did much eredit to the energy and skill of the managing committee. ‘The Ladies performed their part admirably—which, by the way, was by far the most impor- tant. The tables were tastefully sup- plied with abundance of edibles,- which were in every way calculated to ‘satisfy the tastes and silence the murmur of the most fastidious. We never partook of a better tea at any public party, The Bazaar was held in a building near the Church. ‘The building was de- corated very tastefully. ‘There were not so many articles on exhibition as we ex- pected to find; but what were there was very nice. We hope the Ladies who stood behind the counters, found ready sale for the fancy and useful articles dis- played. ‘The Ladies of Malpeque who contributed tu the Bazaar, may well be proud of their industry and skill!” A Kefreshment table was opened in another building, under the care of the managing committee. From it was sup- plied temperate drinks and eatables—in- cluding some of McNutt’s preserved lob- ster. ‘Lhe best of order prevailed — every body seemed satisfied—and well they might. The attendance was more than ordinarly large for such a gathering. ‘The sum realized we have not heard, but it must be considerable. ' POLITIOAL CHANGES, Since our last issue there have been some very important changes effected in the Government. ‘The hon. R. VP, Hay- thorne, has been appointed Leader of the Government; hon. 3B. Davies, Colonial Secretary; D. O'M. Reddin, Esq., At- torney General; L. H. Davies, Esq., So- licitor General. We suppose nov that the ship has received a new commander and new sails, she will be able to weather out the storms for the remainder of her four years’ voyage, ‘That is, if Mr. Davies is returned at the election he will have torun. From the tone of the last Patriot, he is likely to have a sharp con- test in the Belfast election. If deteated, we sce nothing in the future but a gene- ral election. But we should judge that Mr. Davies counted the cost betore uc- cepting office. RECIPROCITY. AxtiouGci the telegrams tell us that negotiations are going on between the governments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada—and that Mr. Rose will proceed to Washington at once, yet the New York Albion, one of the ablest conducted papers in the United States says :—** The subject of a renewal of re- ciprocal trade with Canada is attracting attention both in the United States and the British Provinces, and it is probable that an attempt to renew the Reciprocity ‘Treaty will be made ut the next Session of the Congress. ‘The repeal of the Treaty has somewhat restricted trade, bat has acded to the revenue of the ‘Treasury and the continuation of the present sys- temis in accordunce with the views of the ** Protectionists,’ who now control Congress.” : CUBA. Judging from the accounts shat have recently reached us, we should say that Cuba is ina very unenviable condition. The telegrams are very conflicting: At onetime we hear that the rebellion is nearly put down; but at other times that the insurgents have been victorious, ‘The latest despatches state that a consider- able number of regular Spanish soldigry have deserted to the patriot army. ‘There isalso a great deal of sickness among them. ‘The Republicans have received a great deal of aid from Mexico and otlicr points. ‘The ** Sun's” Cuba special says: “A great number of persons from Prin- cipe abandoned that city together, and guarded by a force of patriots encamped im the woods. When Setona’ Knew that their families were almost unprotected, hie attacked them at night with w large lorce and slaughtered large aumbers of children women and old people. ‘The news given to the Captiin-General shows that the yum: ber of those whose throats were cut amounts to 2000, and as all are children, women, and old persons, Ute barbarous uonster author of tho unbeardsot crimes excuses himaclt by saying that the night Was obscure and hy Could nfot see” fi t u t t i t (IN our advertising columns wil be found the announcement of the laying of the Foundation Stone of the newy Ca- tholic Church now in course of ereétion in Summerside.

They were principally, we under- stand, from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Quebec, ithe Rev. Henry Daniel; the Co-delegate, the Rev. Henry Pope, jur.; Secretary, the Rey. D. D.

Wednesday, the 23rd ult. feature of the present Conference is that the sittings are held: with open doors, and any one The President The session commenced on A new and good who pleases may listen to the proceedings. Ilearing of this arrangement, we dropped in on Saturday forenson to see what was to be seen and to hear what was to be heard, We made our way to the gallery, and took a seat in the choir behind the pulpit, We had from that elevated place a good view of the mem- bers of the Conference, who were seated in the body of the church, An extraordinarily good looking set of men we thought them, both physically and intellectually, or rather phrenologically. There was quite a sprink- ling of venerable grey heads in the crowd— men upon whose countenances time had set his mark; but hardly one who appeared pre- maturely broken down by sickness or by care. ‘hey are a healthy, happy looking set, those Méthodist Ministers. ‘Lhe old en appear hale and vigorous, the young men full of life and spirit. ‘Chere was, we concluded, more than an average share of big heads, broad brows and thoughtful countenances among them. Without doubt, the Methodist body have no reason to feel ashamed of the appear- ance of their Ministers, was the mental note we took as we finished our very deliberate survey ofthe gentlemen below us. We were pleased to notice thata few of the ministers had the courage and the good sense to wlow their beards to grow. We cannot see why ministers, of ell-men, should be the slaves of the razor.‘ The priest all shaven and shorn” does not belong cither to the primitive or the patriarchal age. Who can imagine Paul or Peter with a smooth shaven, shining, soapy fuce? Dr. Vickard, of Sackville Academy, was on his feet when we entered. We found that we could hardly hear a word that the Doc- tor uttercd, ‘Ihe fault was partly his or na- ture’s—for his voice is not a clear one—and partly that of the place in which we were seated. ‘Lhe choir may be a capital place to sing in, but it is the worst place to hear in that could by any ingenuity be constructed. After the Doctor sat down, a lively and interesting de- bate ensued. Ministers can, and do d.tler, as well as other people. Getting interested in the discussicn, we moved to a place where we could hear with some ease. We were particularly struck with the ease, fluency, and even ¢ se, with which the greater number of the speakers expressed themselves, The question discussed was one of law, rather than of religion. It was one out of the beaten track altogether, and to tell the truth, we ex- ected to see the ministers humming and 1uwing, and hesitating about it, as men too frequently do when taken out of their usual course. But no such thing. ‘The gentlemen who spoke chopped logic and gave their views of the law with as much ease and fluency, if not with as much skill, as if they had been all of them barristers instead of preachers. ‘The almost total absence of the old: fashioned pul- pit style and tone, struck us as being suime- thing remarkable, ‘The style of speech was natural and unaffected inthe extreme. ‘There was no hifalutin, no straining after effect. ‘There was none of the pompous, grandiloquent debating club style of oratory manifested. We wished that some of our ambitious boys were present, to receive a lesson in the art of really efiective, earnest speaking, ‘he tone of the debate was exceedingly good. ‘The debaters spoke hke gentlemen, and like christian gen- tlemen, ‘here was no undue display of warmth, no coarse language, no exhibition of temper, Still the discussion was not tame. Quite the contrary, We were particulaily pleased with Dr. DeWolf’s speech. His manner of speaking is not the best, but the matter of the speech which we had the privi- lege of hearing, was such as to give the hearer a very high opinion of both the Doctor's head and the Doctor’s heart, For the first few minutes the Doctor’s head spoke. Ue was clear, logical, concise and convincing. After that his heart spoke, and we must confess, we admired the speech of the heart much nore than we did that of the head. And so did the rest of the audience. if we were to judge of their appreciation of it by the hearty and fre- quent plaudits it received. The ductor is, if we are any judge of character, a man to be loved as weil us to be admired,—more, per- haps, to be loved than to be admired. ‘The vpposition was a very able and a very plucky one, and, before the division was taken, we concluded that it must be, numerically, a very powerful one. Judge our surprise when we found that the majority outnumbered the minority five tv one. Quite a number of meetings connected with the Conference, di- rectly and indirectly, have taken place in Charlottetown, On Sundays, Conterence Ministers occupied all thepulpits in ‘own,ex- cept those of the Church of England. hey preache | to well filled churches, A missionary meeting was held on Wednesday night, and a temperance meeting on Friday. ‘This last is suid to have been the best Veiperance meet- ing ever held in Charlottetown. ‘The Revs. Messrs. Sergeant and Vittblado were the principal speakers. An ordination service was held on Monday night. Messrs. Sergeant and LePage were ordained. Dr, Ritchie and the Rev. Mr. Daniel spoke. ‘This service was avery interesting one. The Ministers were very much pleased with the Island; they think it a beautitul country.

Your cheerfulness and liberality in contri- buting to every moral, liumane, and religious object, and the many moral and religious in- structions which you have endeavored to instil into our minds, clearly evince, that by your departure our community will suffer a loss \ hich it will be difficult to repair, and in our litule society a blank will be created which cannot be easily filled. Be assured, Reverend and Dear Sir, that we say tliis not in flattery, but as an attempt to express our high appre- ciation of your character as a minister of the Gospel, a gentleman and a friend, It is our sincere wish that in your new sphere of action your loarning and talents may have a benign infinence upon an appre- ciative people, In mingling with a more fashionible and learned society in a distant land, you may posstbly forget us, but be as- sured that the pleasing recollection of the period ot your residence among us, of the many happy, happy days spent with us, of the many cheerful intercourses of friendship, and ot your kind and affable deportment, can never be erased from our memory, We also embrace this opportunity of ex- pressing our affection and esteem for your utmiable partner in life. fler disinterested labors in superintending our Sunday School, und the many salutary impressions her relig- ious teachings have made on the youthtul minds of this Congregation, demand for her our most sincere love and highest respect.

My Cunistian Brerunen :— Tn the midst of the many cares and anxicties necessarily attending upon the departure of myself and family to a new and enlarged sphere of labor, on a distant and foreign shore, I have been, yery much gratified and encouraged at receiving an Address trom you couched in the language of esteem and atffec- tion, You are pleased to say, that for the long period of sixteen years I have discharged my ministerial ddties in such a manner as to mect with your entire approbation. Alas! I tear, in looking back upon the irretrievable past, that there has been very much to lament in my ministry; and [ find it ditlicult indeed to adopt the Apostolic words, ** Wherefore 1 take you to record this day that 1 am pure from the blood of all men.” It is my earnest hope thatthe Great Shepherd of the sheep will soon vouchsafe to raise up amore faithful minister of His Word and Sacrament, and that has neither run nor labored in yain.” You are good enough to say, that I have obtained the esteem and respect of others be- sides the members of my own congregation, 1am glad to have this assurance. Although T am deeply attached to the rites and cere- monies of my own branch of the /oly Catholic Church, I trust that I have always been able to say, ** Grace be with all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.” I hope I have endeavored tu "live peaceably with all men,” and I shall always hope to hear that you all ‘live in peace,” and ‘the God of love and peace shall be with you.” You kindly wish me ‘success in my new sphere of action.” May L encourage the hope, that in the midst of my labors I may not be forgotten by you at the throne of grace? ‘These sad and painful separations will soon be over, and if we live a life of pra er here on earth, we shall, doubtless wacet hereafter in a world of endless praise. You may rest assured that in whatever so- ciety I may mingle in a distant land, L shall never forget your many acts of kindness and genuine hospitality towards myself and Mrs. Swabey and family, in the past. We have ulways received a hearty welcome, entirely ind¢pendant of party, church, creed, or de- nomination, at the houses of the rich and the cottages of the poor, I beg to return you my most heartfelt thanks for your expressions of kindness and good-will towards Mrs. Swabey.

I cannot but reciprocate the wish, tnat, although indeed I shalt be absent from you in the flesh, yet with you in the spirtt, the Alinighty Giver of every good and pertoet gift may not anly bettow upon you" His choicest teu poral gifts,” but so guide you by His counsel here, that after- wards you may be received to glory. T entertain a lively hope th.t I may meet you again at sonie future period; but this is in ee hands of that God who orders all things well, Brethren, beloved in the Lord, whether 1 am present with you or absent from you, may my heart be gladdened by the thought that pure and undefiled religion is increasing in your midst; that you are * neither barren nor anfrnitfal in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” If itis eo (which miay Gud 4n- his infinite mercy grant), we shall meet to part no nvore around the throne of Gud in ever- husting glory! And now, while L utter these sad words, “ Finally, brethren, farewell,” I } will also adopt the Apostle’s words, now, brethren, I commend you to God and ti the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them that are sanctified.” (Signed) H.
