This is my Wish; it may not be reuli- zed immediately, but the sooner the time comes the better for the cause of Christ. I will not give up one iota of my principles; lam ready not only to give up my stipend—l have done that already—but I am ready, as our fathers did, to give up my life, ifiiorcssary, in defence of'tliese. (Loud cheering.) I have said I am glad to get quit of controversy. I wish to devote my days to preaching, and to the pastoral superintendence of my people. I have only to say, and I hope the reporters will record it as a warning to our oppo- noms,‘——l have only to say, that now I am done with contro- versy, if they will let me alone. (Chem-s.) But I am not done with it otherwise. (Cheers) I will not let this cause — be put down, so long as there is a warm heart and a clear head in Scotland. (Great cheering.) They will go on at- tempting to put us down, denying us land, even for a lint, beneath the roofof which a minister may lay the revered Iiead ofu venerable mother. I am iiotdone with the controversy. (Cheers) I known case that made my blood boil as an honest man, and as a freeman. There is a parish in Scot- land, where there is a minister who has a sister, a brother, and a venerable mother, under his roof. That mother was , a minister’s daughter,—that mother was a minister’s wife.— and now she is a minister’s widow. (Hear.) And, Sir, shame to the land that has such landed proprietors in it. That man of Goth—that man of holiness. must carry away his venerable mother, with) the grey hairs of age upon her head,-—who never knew a home on earth but a inanse,—-—lie moist drive her away, because even a highland sheiiingr can- not be got to lay her head in, seventy long miles from the Scenes ofhis own labours. (Hear, hear, hear.) And will not Scotland cry shame upon the man who does this! I will post and pillory him in every town in Scotland. (Great cheering, which prevented the rest of the sentence being heard.) Ifthat is the way our cause is to be put down, they had better take care—I do not speak of physical force. They have the dragoons at the old Assembly up the way, but we have none ofthem here. Ispcak of moral force alone. (Cheers) In a certain parish in the Highlands, when a minister brought a sympatliiser to address his people, 4,- 000 warm-hearted Highlanders assembled together, when a Highlandman stood up, and taking off his hat, cried out the single word, ‘V‘ Strathhogic.” The word passed from line to line ofthe mighty 4,000, and in four minutes they marched away, till none were left to sympathise with the sympatbiSer. (Cheers) There was on exhibition of moral force. We shall have no physical force—we detest it; but though I, should wander from border to border, and from John O’Groat’s House to the Tweed, I shall do my best to rouse the moral force and indignation of Scotland against it. (Great cheering.) But I believe this system cannot be car- ried on—I believe tho landlords of Scotland are better men than to persist in such a course. I believe they are misled; and as soon as they ﬁnd that the best and holiest people are those who stand up forour principles, they will act in a dif- ferent manner from what they have done. (Hear) 1 know my friend Mr. M‘Crie would have us go a little farther than we have done. We have testiﬁed for the Crown, and there was to-night a little insinuation that we had not testiﬁed for the Covenant. Let him hide his time. (Cheers) If this work goes on, we may go ﬁirtlierthan we have yet done.‘ This breeze has unfurled our banner for enough to enable us to read the Crown upon it; ifthat breeze swell into a hurricane, it will unfurl our ﬂag so much the farther that we will see upon it the Covenant. (Greatchcei-ing.) I propose that the thanks ofthis house he now given to our excellent friends the deputation from the Original Secession Synod. ‘Tho motion Wns adopted unanimously. " The Rev.

“ JUNE ,1. mt. caALMsns’s annasss is cnoszxo THE ASSEMBLY. The Moot-Huron addressed the Assembly as follows: ——The deliberations, for 1 cannot call them the debates, of the Assembly, are now terminated. \Ve have reason to bless God for a harmony that has been quite marvellous. Icau- not doubt that, as the blessed result of this unanimity among oni'selves,—-a unanimity both of principle and of mutual af- fection,~—tlie same spirit will go forth amongr the people who adhere to us, and bind them together in close and more en~ donririg ties of fellowship than heretofore. There is much already, even at this early stage of our in}; Church, .to set this precious moral operation agoing. I‘lie liberalities which have been poured forth on our great enterprise, even by the humblest ofour artizaiis and labour- ers,land t‘ie grateful responses which these have called back again,—the- words of kindness and ofencouragenient which have been sent from all places of the land to bear us up on thoﬁeld ofeoniiict, and our thankful sense ofthe friendship which prompted them,—tlie ainalgamatiug moo object and a common feeling, to cement and knit ta- getber the hearts of nicu,—the very emulation to love and to good works which has given birth to so many Associa- tions, each striving to outrun the other in their generous contentions for the support ofwliat is deemed by all to be a noble cause,—even the working of these Associations, in which the rich and the poor are often made to change places, the former visiting the houses of the latter, and rcceivinw the offerings of Christian benevolence at their bands-this multipliedoccasious ofintarcourse thus opened up between those parties in the commonwealth which before stood at the greatest distance, these are so many sweeteniiw and exciting inﬂuences, which serve to foster'tlic svmpatlizy ofn felt brotherhood among thousands and tens of'hthousarids of our countrymen, and will mightily tend, we are persuaded, to elevate and liunianise the society ofScotland. But we must not disguise it, that, with all these internal springs of comfort among ourselves, there are many adversaries.— powcrs and parties without, intently looking on; and iii the midst of whom, formidable though they be, it must be our care to maintain n hiin walk of consistency, and nut suﬂ'er ourselves to ho concussed or tempted in any way out of the principles which belong to us. On this subject we have al- ready a friendly understanding with the men of certain other denominations, and with whom it is but necessary to hold frank and explicit couverse,—wheu it will appear, that, so far from adyersaries, there is a broad and common ground ofco-operation, on which, side by side, we might strive to- gether for the interest and extension ofour common faith. In utter and entire contradistinction to them, there are the turbulent, and the disaffected, and the lawless, with whom we can have no fellowship or sympathy whatever. But there is othird body, respecting whom it is of immediate and practical concern that we should understand what part we ought to take, and act upon it accordingly; and all the more as‘the question is often put,——what is the duty ofour Free or Protesting Church to the remaining Establishment which we have left behind us, and more especially to the ministers who compose it? For my ‘own part, I feel at no loss whatever for a reply to this question; and ] think it should chase away the least shade of ambiguity from this Whole subject, just to make a distinction between what the duty is which we owe to persons, and what the duty is which we owe to principles. Surely, on the former oftlfeso grounds, we need he at no loss whatever,--wo, who are placed by the Gospel of'Jesus Christ under the law of love or uni-' Eeozjxlcgiilgtlyémﬁut than, in regard to principles,—the same imperative obligation to declare the whole counsel ofGod, and keep back nothing from the view of othch which possesses a sacred or religious in'iportanco in our own eyes. _Let us come at once then to the application. That one principle we must surely deem to he of some im— portance, for which, rather than renounce it, we have given up our all. Even though, through our keepimr by this prin- ciple, and proolaiming it everywhere, the Scotiish Establish- ment, now-the stronghold" of that Ei-astianisui which has

we could not give UH for the sake of our own liviugs, we must now give up, and cease to act upon, for the sake‘of the. livings of other people. This were truly the ulntaisni of being righteous over much. It were not only loving our neighbours as ourselves, but loving them a great deal better than ourselves. Iiut we might relieve ourselves from all apprehension of the like sufferings and sacrifices for them. The same civil power which has deferred so little to ourprln- ciples, will surely see that their temporalitios are safe. NOW what we have held it our duty to maintain, we shall still hold it our duty to propagate ; and let us suppose it as one oftbc collateral effects, that the Establishment is demolish- ed, and that all its rernanent clergy are driven from their ofﬁces and their houses. Our own ejection has deeu pain— ful to our natural and family“ affections. Their ejection. should it indeed take place, so far from pleasurable, would ltrust, be alike painful to our Christian and benevolent affec- tions. But we shall ever abide by the principle that will irn- pel us onward, to the accomplishment oftlie olijcct,—-ille object oftliat great home mission into which we have re: solved ourselves,—cven to spread abroad the gospel ofJesus Christ, in all its cntireness, over the length and breadth of Scotland, and not to cease from our labours till every portion both of its Pagan and Erastian territory has been reclaimed, and broitgl'it under the teaching,r o'ftrutli and righteousness. But, however desirable to expatiate at greater length on such topics, let me hasten to a close; but not without urging the duty on iill our friends, of fervent prayer in the present cir- cumstances and prospects of our Church. A signal discom- ﬁture awaits us if we attempt this special work ofthe Lord, yet seek not to the Lord both for direction to guide and for courage to uphold us. Our labour will be vain, and the fruit of'it a melancholy abortion. ifwe laboiirwiiliont prayer. On the other hand, there is danger, lest, in trusting to the efﬁcacy ofprayer, we should so trust to it alone, as to feel that we are discharged from the toils ofperlbrniaure. It is the wisdom ofGod which directs all, yet this supersedes not the busy operations of the human in'iderstanding; for it is by giving wisdom to those who ask it that he causes hisdesigus to take effect. It is the strength of God which executes all, yet this supersedes not the strenuous fbi'thputting, either of our own mental or bodily powers; for it is in and by these that lie iiilﬁls his pleasure, when he perfects his own strength in man’s \i'eakuess, and so makes good his own declaration, that they who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. This law ofco-operation between God and man is a principle ofthe divine government which meets us everywhere in the Bilile—iusoniuch that Scripture history and Scripture doctrine are alike charged with it. To sepa- rate tlic divine from the human or the human from the divine agency, is to putasunder the things which God hiin- self'hatli joined. Labour is vain when it is labour without prayer, and prayer also is vain when it is prayer without labour. It is only by the blessed union of both these—the union of devout” hearts. with labour-doing liands,-—tliat we can expect to steer our Church through her difﬁculties, or look for a season to her of prosperity and revival. The va- rious exigencies ofour Free Church will supply many sub- jects for prayer. And to begin with an ohjectofﬁrst neces- sity, let us lift our earnest and constant cry to the Giver of all that is needful, for guidance and grace to our Church’s counsellors; and this not only that they may be directed arightin their arduous course, full of difﬁculty and peril,but that, saved from their own spirit, they may ntnll times not in the spirit of their Master in heaven, with a single hearted desire for the glory of God, and the good of men’s souls. But wc'sliould pray for the people, as well as ofﬁce-bearers of our Church, that thcirs might not be the vagrant love of novelty, or ought, as in this world’s politics, like the affection and partisanship, or at all the indignantspirit ofa arfarc against men, or whateverelse than a deep sense of

They will, perhaps, at the liandsofliittc‘rud- vci‘saries, meet with much to try the strength and genuine- ness oftlieir Christianity. Here, then, is room and exercise for the patience of the saints. Hch are they that keep the cominaudirients of God, and the faith ochsus. pvt». have great reason to bless God for the readiness of'pur “people to befriend and support the Free Church, and for their gener- ous offerings in its cause. \Ve take a humble and limited view of our enterprize, if we conﬁne it to a provision for ejected ministers, or for the relicfand sustentation oftlieir families. Our object, in all the fiilncss of its ultimate ac- complishment, is not only to repair the desolation of our sanctuary, but to replenish the long-neglected wastes, both in town and in country, of our beloved Scotland. We feel that we should attempt great things, and should hope great things; but most assuredly (ill our attempts will turn out to he abortive, and all our hopes blit the mockery ofa vision,

be acknowledged and enquired after; and unless by an aus- wer ofgraciousness from the upper sanctuary, we can ex- pect no sound or stable prosperity to any undertaking. We would cast our cause on the supplicntions of'thc people, and should esteem it the happiest presage of'our coming enlarge- ment, if we saw in the fervour and frequency oflliese, that God had indeed been pleased to pour a spirit of grace and of supplic'itiou over our land. “Only prove me, saith the Lord ol'lIosts, and see whether I will not pour down a bles- sing upon you.” “ Ye that make mention ofthc Lord, keep not silence, and give Him no rust till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem is praise on the earth.” After prayer and praise, the Assembly broke up about one o’clock in the morning.

From English papers to June 19.

On the receipt of a message by the House of Commons from the Queen that the Princess Augusta of Ctlll'llll‘lflge was about to be u'iarried to the Prince of Mccklenburg Stre— litz, Sir Robert Peel moved that an annual grant of £3000 be afforded to the Princess. The allowance ofthis money was hotly contested, and though eventually, upon a divi- sion, the motion was carried by 223 to 57, certain hints and expressions stand recorded in that debate, which will pet'- cliauce check the quenchless thirst for English pensions, which unimportant German princes are so prone to display.

THE I{ING or I'IANOVER.——-Tlie King of Hanover, WlIO arrived lately in England, took the usual oaths as 21' Peer of

June, shortly after three o’clock. When he came to the sentence, “I hereby swear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria,” &c., it was remarked that His Majesty re- peateal these words with particular en'iphasis. The writ ad- dressed to His Majesty summoned him to the House ofLords as Duke ofCumberland.

Lord Brougham has had the King of Hanover at a dinner party. Wonders never cease. His Majesty was, a few years ago, this unceasing butt ofthe noble Lord’s sarcasm—— the epithet of “illustrious by courtesy” having been applied by Lord B. to the King, when Duke of Cumberland.

Mr. Hume intends to bring iorWard a motion for doing away with the King of Haiiover’s pension of£21,000 a year.

Her Majesty the Queen—whose health, by the blessing of Providence, was never better—has had the good sense to break through the cold forms ofCourt precedent, mid set an example to mothers, by nursing the royal infant. whose safe and happy birth has 'caused such generaljoy. ' '

A IIINT T0 Amsnic.i.——-A young man ofcolour, almost'of the pure negro race, is now keeping his terms for the bar, being a member of the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple. What a proud example it is for our brethren on the other side of the Atlantic, to see this young man dining in the ancient hall, with so numerous an assemblage of white men (among whom are not only some of the most talented, but also the must noble of England’s sons), and by whom he is treated with the same courtesy and respect as if he were one i of themselves. We hope this instance of the manner in which a man of colour is treated in the fatlierland will not be without advantage to the much persecuted negro race and their descendants in the United States—Times Corres- pondent. ’ ' -

INSURRECTION AT llIANiLi.A.—-—'I‘he Semanar Gilipino says —-“On the 215t ofJunuary a part of'tbe 3rd battalion of the line quartered at Malata revolted. At daylight they were re- inforced by other soldiers of their corps, who, after having killed their captain and a lieutenant, introduced themselves into the fort. The guard being thus strengthened, began their evil plot by wounding their commander, and assassi- nating the sub-lieutenant Acuna; but as soon as the brave artillerymen, who were also in the fort, knew the purpose of the nnitineers, they began to attack them vigorously and dc- cisivelv. The iiiutiueers at ﬁrst fought well, but they soon gave way, and the greater part oftbose who survived threw themselves into the water. It is probable that the explosmn ofibc magazine of. powder in the fort, which took place during the height of the aﬂray, contributed much to dis- liearteii them. The nrtillerymeii, who so bravely main- ruined the post of honour, have to deplore the loss of three companions killed, and four wounded. We have also to lament the death ot'some ofﬁcers. On the 5th nf'February, upwards of 80 rebels were sentenced to die; 41 were. exe- cuted on the 9th of February, and the others on the 11th, each day at scvcii, a. in. At about half-past six o’clock, each morning, they were marched between two ﬁles ofsoldicrs (their executioners) to the ground. As the niournful pro- cession approached, an oﬂicer proclaimed aloud to the troops, that whoever should ask for the pardon ofany oftlie Cl'lllli‘ nals should be also shot. The mutineers were marched up to the vacant side of the square, when they were placed in ﬁle kneeling, their executionch ﬁled of? behind them. The words ‘make rcady,’ ‘present,’ ‘ﬁre,’ were given, and the ﬁle ofprisoners iu tl’iatiiistautfell siii‘iultaiieously, likea wall. ‘ There was scarcely the space of‘a yard hetWeen the muskets and their victims; many continued to writhc on the ground, but not a sound ofany kind was heard,save the order to ‘re- load,’ and an agonizing delay was thus caused in ﬁnally des- patcbing the unfortunate wretches. The same awful scene was performed on the 11th, and on that day the sergeant who led the rebels at the insurrection, wa strangled by the screwing machine in the same square, and his righthand cut off. - ,

TALE or A Tunic—Four men since our last have been taken off by the same tiger which killed the convict on VVed- nesday last. One man, a Chiiiaman, was taken on Friday, another on Sunday, a Malay‘on Monday, and another native, a wood cutter, on Tuesday. The body of the Malay has not been found. ltappears that the animal prowls about the neighbourhood of'the new road which is being made leading from the Orange grove to the Sepoy lilies. A small tiger and tigress were killed on Monday at the back ofa planta- tion bordering on the Bukit Timab road about a mile from town.

EXPULSION or THE Jssm'rs FROM BUENOS Ann's—A Monte Video paper says :—

“ Governor Rosas has expelled the clergy of the order of Jesuits from Buenos Ayres, in consequence oftheir having refused to hang up his portrait for public adoration over the altar of their church, as has been done by all the other friars in that city.” V , ,

British Government to impose taxation on the inhabitants of what were then our own colonies; and that this being deem- cd so great a stretch of tyranny and injustice as to be resisted to the death, it bloody war ensued, in which the people of this country were regularly beaten, and were obliged to make peace, and recognize the Yankees as a free and independent nation. What singular contrasts old Time, with his silent step, is bringing to pass! The eventsjust alluded to were brought about, as all the world knows, by a Tory Adminis- ‘tratiou ; and we now see what another Tory Administration is about to do, as though the very same spirit still actuated tlieni. True, the British people are not now about to im- pose taxes on their American colonies, but that very British people is about to be called upon to submit to taxation, to be imposed and levied upon them too, by their own colonies. Yes, British North America is about to be allowed, by our present administration, to impose for her own beneﬁt, a tax of 3s. per quarter on all United States corn which shall come to this country to feed our half-starved artisans. We, the people ofEuglaud, are about to be taxed by our own colo- iijes, not to beneﬁt our own excliequer, but to put money into the colonial treasury. We, the people of England are about to have our bread taxed, before we may eat it, by the Canadian parliament. This country did, indeed, in an evil day, set an example, yet it was scarcely to be expected that with all our past experience, a course of policy which led to such tremendous consequences, should be so nearly copied in another age. There is, to be sure, a difference iii the pre- ‘seiit case. Then, we had the stick in our own hands, and in usingr it had it wrosted from our grasp. Ahoy, We are voluntarily putting the stick into the hands of others, and asking them to cudgel us with it. We only undertook to tax their tea, and now We are going to submit to allow them to tax our toast. Alas, poor John Bull!
