hum was the Life of Napoleon Buonaparte. He began his lecture by showing the poli-! tical state of France, when Napoleen en-! tered public life. Then, after giving an ccount ef his parentage and childhood, he brought him to the military scheol at Paris, and got him his commission as Sous- Lieutenant of Artillery. He next placed him cannonading the eutworks of Teulon ; aud a little later tearing the Nationai Guard to pieces with canisier and grape. He followed him through all his stormy life.. Now on the high and rugged Alps ; —now on the fertile plains of lraly ;—now to march to Spain, Egypt, Austria, Russia and, finally to cross swords with Wellington at Waterloo

The fascinating way in which he held the audience spellbound, proved, conclusively, that he was thoroughly acquainted with his subject. His second lecture wason the sin of eovetousuess. He said the secrets of oratory were, Give the minor points first, but retain the strong ideas till the last in order to leave an impression on the people Se did God, when;jhe gave the command ments to Moses on the Mount, give the mivor ones first, and left the greatest till the last, viz., 7how shalt not covet. He said covetousness was the first sin—Eve coveting the forbidden fruit. Going even further, when quoting the words of the poet “Aspiring to be Gods, Angels fell, Aspiring to be angels, men rebel,’ he then followed down through the ayes, proving that many of the great wars were owing to ambitious, ecvetous hearts, such as ihe wars of Alexan- der the Great, Julius Caser, Napoleon, &c. He stated that it was a besetting sin ; that it was human nature to be covetous ; that this sin grew up with people from their childhood, and they scarcely knew how to guard against it.

The general revenue for the year was stated to be $2,800; contributions for Mission, $275; contributions from Sabbath School, #65; contributions to Building Fund, $130; in all $5,320. Special men- tion was made of the assistance rendered by the ladies of the congregation in aid of the Trustees.

Votes of thanks were given to the Trus- tees, the Choir, the Ladies, and to the Chairman, for their services.

A committee of young men Was appoint: ed to assist the Trustees in their work ior the present year. The committee on the Building Fund was re-appointed.

The following were elected as Trustees for the current year, viz: Messrs. W. D. Stewart, W. R. Watson, J. W. Morrison, David Small, Wm. McLean, Donald McKenzie and T. C. James.

At the close of the congregational meet- ing the above Trustees organized for the year, when Mr. Stewart was appointed Chairman, Mr. McLean Treasurer and Mr. Duncan Kennedy, Secretary.

Sons of Temperance. Vicrorta Division, of the Sons of Tem- rance, presented avery pleasing seene

ast Monday evening on the occasion of an official visit from the G. W. Patriarch, David Rogers, Esq., of Freetown. Among the very large number present were noticed the names of John Jury, Dr. Leeming, John Bowers, J P. Tanton, J. J. Chap- pell and G. W. Millner. In the course of avery excellent address, the G. W. P. re- ferred to the progress of the Order, sev- eral new Divisions having been formed in different’ parts of the Island. He then alluded in elequent terms to the rise of public sentiment in favour of Temperance principles, foreboding the almost certain doom ef the liquor tratiic. The Provincial Legislature had at last come nobly to our aid, not only by the appointment of goud men to enforce the laws, but also by de- nouncing the notorious Almon amendment. He referred to the Baglole murder in Sum- merside as a natural eoncomitant of the traffic, and enjoined upon all the brethren present te take fresh courage and work on until the day of victory. Several of the members present responded to the G. W, Patriarch’s address in suitable terms. Be- fore singing the closing ode, it was inti- mated, to the delight of the brethren, that next Monday a free Temperance Lecture will be given in the Market Hail by the Rev. Father McGillivray, when those who wish to secure a good seat will reqire to go early.

| THE MARKETS. POTATOES. | ‘The prospects for early arrivals of pota-

i toes in the Bosten market are now very | good. Advices of the 6th from that place

ES ee |

state that there have been some arrivals of

Prolifics from Nova Scotia which are sell ing at sixty cents and Early Roses at seventy. Chenangoes = are quoted at sixty cents, but there are none in the market. These prices are fer good, sound stock, and of good size. There is at this port a geod quantity ready for shipment at first opportunity. The Montreal Gazette of the 9th says a fair export demand exists in Montreal for potatoes, and prices con- tinne firm at 55¢ per bag for car lots of choice early rosa, as high as 60¢ being paid for an extra lot. Sales are reported of 700 bags of early roses at 55c, 350 begs of chilis at.50c, 300 bags of early roses at 552, and 500 do, at 50e. Shipments are being wade to New York, {Cincinnati and Chi- cago, and it is thought the requirements in those places will be sufficient to absorb most of our gsurplus stocks. The New York market is firm, and prices have ad- vaneed there to $2.75 and $3 per bbl., for choiee early rose, or 90c @ 98c per bushel. in Chicago 75¢e @ 80c per bushel has been paid for rose in car lots. OATS,

Latest advices from Bristol Channel re- port Irish oats at 19 shillings for 304 lbs. These oats are generally quoted six pence higher than Island Black. The Montreal oat market, on the 8th, was steady at 85c. and 90c¢. per bag. New York market, on the 9th, was easier. The sale of 50,000 bushels was reported and State were quoted at 46c to 5Zc, and Western at 48$c to 50c. Halifax market prices of the 9th quote oats at from 50e to 5dc.

PORK,

Since our last report there has been a good advance in the New York market. Old mess, which on the 4th was quoted at $15.25 on the spot, was on the 11th, quoted at $17.75. Adviees state that the market then was active at the price abeve quoted. Owing to the advance in New York, we see there was a speculative rise in the St. Joln market of from $1.50 to $2.00, and holders were asking outside figures. Pork per car- cass in Charlottetewn market continues the same as quoted last week—6} to 7}.
