The Tenth annual meetin of the Dioce- san Church Society, of rince Edward Island, (and second since its Incorporation)” was held at the Infant School Tuesday evening, the lfilth October, l853,et 7 o'clock. The Rev. C. Lloyd, E. C. in the chair, afler singing the 100th Psalm, and Prayer being offered up by the Rev. Dr. Jenkins, the chairman opened the meeting with the following observations. ' » ‘ ‘ Ladies and Gentlemen, members of the Clturr.-It of England, I am ver sorry we have not the advantage of His 'xcellc'ncy's, presence this evening, more particularly as we cannot but remember in how agreeable a manner he presided over our meeting last year. I feel assured, however, that his ab- sence does not arise from any want of inter- est in the Diocesan Church Sociot , and I am glad to have this opportunity ofystatiug, that in the instances in whichl have had oc- casion to transact buisness with him on the affairs of the Church, I have found him most kind and considerate. I could have wished, in his Excollency’s absence, that my friend Dr. Jenkins were to occupy the chair, on this occasion, but as he did not wish to continue in the cxcersise ofthe duties of Ecclesiasti- cal Commissary, end as the laws of the So- ciety require the holder of that office to preside, I can only ask you to extend your indulgence to me, and to give consideration to the oflice, rather than to the individual, I shall now therefore call your attention to the objects of this meeting, which are to take cognizance of what has been done during the past year, on your behalf, by the Ex- ecutive Committee, and to provide for the proper working of the society for the en- suing year, but chiefly, if possible, to ex cite a higher interest in the cause of Church Missions in this Island, than has yet been manifested. The Society has now been in operation under its Incorporated Character for one year, and we ought in some measure to be able to judge to what extent it is likely to c the means of producing those desirable results for which we have hoped. Iwish to explain my views of the character and objects of the Dioceean Church Society, for believe some little misapprehension on this subject has dwelt on the minds of a few of the subscribers. no person has supposed it to be an ofliet of the S. P. E. another has believed it to be a branch of the Colonial Chnrch Society. But the real truth is, that it is, emphatically, a National Society, representing the Church of England in this Island, in things temporal, you will easily perceive that it stands alone it has, within it a building committee whose duty it is to give attention to the wants of the Church,in their department, and in a country wher" ‘Tclesinstical edifices are so few, I thinlr av conclude that this alone will prove zient to recommend this Society to you. rd will, and to your de- sire to aid in oirtg good. But thereis another, and still stronger point of view, in which you may regard it. I cbnsider the Diocesan Chnrch Society, as holding a position midway between the church peo- ple of Prince Edward Island and the home societies, acting beneficially on both sides. For we know that the people scat- tered amon our missions, however dc- eirous of oin well, require that their minds should be stirred up by way of re- memberance, and the best way in whic that can be done is by showing them that there are some among, and around, and beside them, who have a fellow feeling for their s iritual wants, Walsh with deep in- tereet tlieir endeavours to help themselves, and are read to hold out the right hand of fellowship and help to them, on all fitting occasions. The societies,» again; at home require to be encouraged and stimulated in their efforts to do the people of the Island good, and look for some fruits from their own labor among us, and this encourage- ment they receive when the Report of our Diocesan Church Societ is favorable, shewing an increased e art in the peo- ple to meet the aid sent us from our mo- ther country. Thus by vvell performing its duty, our society may both develops the resources of the Island in Church matters and encourage others who are therefore ask you to bear with interest the Report that will be now read, and to give your kind assistance to the promotion of able and willing to befriend, us. I will the Society's views, for, I have reason to think, that under God, all we require, in or- der to make this society flourish in the Island, is a readiness in the several collec- tors, to exert themselves earnestly in its be- half, out of love to the Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently, from a desire that their Church worship, lounded on the truths of the Everlasting Gospel, may have unob- structed awa . The chairman then called on the Rev. D.Fits Gerald, Secretary, to reatlthe aa- 3‘ ouse,“ on“ ’ The Report having been read, the ac-. counts of the Treasurer, the Hon. J. M. .- I-Ioll were passed, showing an increase of X.’ I00 over the receipts, of last year, after which it was moved by the Hon. J. M. Hull and seconded by the Hon. T. H. I-Iavilnnd, ' Resolved, that the Report now read he ado ted and printed, with a list of the sub- scribers and donors to the Society. Moved by the Hon. C. Hensley and hounded by the Rev. J. H. Read Resolved, that this meeting desires with gratitude to acknowledge the goodness and mercy which Almighty God has been plea- sfd during the past year to extend towards t c Church at large as well as to that por- tion of it which be has planted in this ~Islan . 'Moved by the Rev. W. Meek, and se- conded‘ by the Rev. R. T. Roach. Resolved, that this meeting records its grateful sense of obligation, to the S. P. G. or its continued liberality and support to. wards the Church established in this colony. Moved by the Hon. the ClnefJustice, and seconded by Thomas B. Tremnin, Esq. Resolved, that this meeting fully appre- ciates the pralseworthy efforts of the La- dies’ Branch of this society and prays it to continue, if not to redouble its exertions for the common good. Moved by Commander Orleliar, R. N. and seconded by H. Haszard lisq. Resolved, that this meeting gratefully acknowledges the valuable aid which the Church in this Island has received from the Colonial Church and School Society, and trusts that it may be enabled to enlarge the sphere ofits operations. ‘ Moved by the Rev. Dr. Jenkins, and‘ seconded by Theophilus Desbrisay, Esq. ‘ Resolved that the following names he added to the Executive Committee for the ensuing year, viz. Dr. Bell, l)r.Kaye, Samuel Dawson, James Pidgeon, John Hudson, and James Craewell, Esqrs. and that the ofliccrs of the society remain as before. It was then moved that the Rev. C. Lloyd do leave the chair, and that the Rev. Dr. Jenkins be called thereto, on which a vote of thanks was given to clmirmau for his efiicient conduct in the chair. The Ecclesiastical Commissary then dis- missed the meeting with the usual bene- diction. We were glad to perceive almost all the clergy of the Island present on this occa- sion, together with some of the represen- tatives of the local committees and several of the warmest friends of the Society, and trust that each succeeding anniversary, will increase in interest and induce every member of the Church in this Island, to give, if not their presence at the public meetings, at least their cordial co-operation to the general objects of the Society, and thus not only excite the zenland sympathy and love of members oftlie same body, but give efliciertcy to their united operations, that God in all things may be glorified and his name made a praise in the earth. OAIPKENE, BURNING FLUIDS, &o. ( From the Scientific American.) The followin is an abstract of an article which appeare in the “ Journal of Com- merce,” by Alex. Jones, ofthis city :- "We doubt whether there are any other compositions so extensively used in domestic economy, regarding which such gross igno- rance prevails, as the articles at the head of this communication. The ignorance has been worse confounded by the introduction of unmeeuing names. It should be remembered that not all in- flammable substances are explosive; other- wise fish oil and candles would explode. We knew the whole history of the materi- als produced by the _pine tree, and used for pur sea of illumination. And, strange enou a common parlance has applied the camp one, to the whole of them. This name arose as follows :—The idea of usin the common spirits of turpentine for illumi- nation, had been long entertained ; but its great excess of carbon rendered it unfit for use, as its combustion produced dense vo- lumen of smoke. Attempts were made to neutralize this carbon, by the addition of other substances. It was found that if small portions of gum camphor were desol- ved in the spirits of turpentine, it changed it to a clear fluid. which burnt with a bright flame without smoke, and was no more ex- plosive than common fish oil. This pre- pared spirits of turpentine was camphene, and was introduced to the public under that name, as epetented article. It was soon found, however, that the use of csmphor rendered it too expensive, and the use of spirits of turpentine was tried in various ways without it Fi ally a larn was invented, which by mean of a mate lie button in the centre of s ci lar wick at the point of combustion, became so much heated, aided by a good draft through an improved glass chimney, as to consume all the earboaof the spirits in. fsrearpeeetagthstshrded ftu _ me, producing a etesdynd bril-." as, or any other substance, and at about alf the cost of winter sperm oil, or gas. The spirits of turpentine than used, is to this day called camphene, slthou‘ h it has not one particle of camphor in ts'com- position. By retail, it costs only on an. average about,60 cents per gallon, while winter strained sperm oil to produce the same light, costs about I37 cents per gallon by retail. This plain spirits of turpentine (miscalled camphene) is wholly inexplosive, and we defy any party to give a single Solitary instance of its ever having explo- ed. V I have used it in my house for four or five years past, and prefer it to all others. We have no hesitation in saying that by the use of proper lamps, the streets of ci- ties‘, and Government light houses, could be illuminated by the uric of common pure spirits of turpentine, at about one halfthe cost of any other material whatever, and with a brilliancy far surpassing all others in proportion to size of burners. Spirits of turpentine is as much a national product as whale oil; and more so than coal gas, distilled, as is usual, from Liverpool cri.'ll_ and Government should instituto i- ments as to its applicability for i._, .l u »use purposes. Yet this simple, chi-a p, and safe light, it is proposed to prohibit from use by Legislative enat.-tment—'I‘liis is on a par with the ancient legislation in England, wiliicli prohibited the use of bituminous coal. There is another composition used for illuminatioa, called by the ignorant, indif- ferently, ‘burning fluid,’ or ‘camphene. ’ It was found that, if common high proof whisky, or ‘ alcohol, ’ was mixed with common spirits of turpentine, it, like cam- phor, neutralized the excessive carbon, and brought it into a state fit to be burned in an ordinary lamp, like the common oil lamp, with ordinary wick tubes. This fluid is explosive, or about so much so as alchol, and requires care in filling lamps—It, also, is a cheap and beautiful light. Its component parts, alcohol and spirits of turpentine being cheap and clean- ly, it forms an exceedingly bright and steady light, better for the eyes than either gas, or oil light. In rising the lamps with this mixture, they should always be filled in the daytime, and set aside for use. Whenever, through gross carelesnss, an explosion hap- pens, it is published to the world as the ex- plosion ofa ‘ camphene lamp. ’ e have never heard of an accident of the kind, that was not the result of gross carelessness. They nearly always happen by attempting to fill the lamp while burn- ing, or by bringing the fluid in contact with fire or light of some kind. he name of ‘ pine oil’ is a hurnbug' Spirits ofturpeqtino is nothing but oils from pines, (0leum Tercbintha.) The nick name ‘ pine oil, ’ only means spirits of turpentine obtained from common rosin, left in it by previous distillation, and then burnt alone, or mixed with alcohol. The slight efliuvia of turpentine, given ofl‘ by the combustion of spirits of turpen- tine, I hold to be highly conducive to health, especially in bronchitis, and in aflbctions of the lungs. I experienced a benefit from it in my own case, having suffered severely at times from bronchitis. Indeed, physici- ans sometimes recommend a residence in the pine forests of the South as a remedy for pulmonary diseases. ” ' rcsunrrs on me Anova.—We have said a great deal in the Scientific American," and many communications from others have also appeared on this svbject.--We dislike to harp upon one string too often, neverthe- less, the subject of artificial illumination is so important to every man, woman, and child in our country, that every person should read all the articles which treat upon it. What a vast amount is expanded for illumination in one year. We can form some idea of this when we take in to consi- deration that every house, storc, street many churches, lecture rooms, factories, &.c., in our land, are lighted up for some hours every night. On land and sea. r-n railroads and steamboats, in cellar ' .. ra- bin, in castle and cottage, the lamp is trim- med to cheer man in all situations, and in all conditions. Camphene and alcohol given more beau- tiful light than oil; it is cleaner, and we would ‘prefer to use it always, and commend its use in famslies where there are no chil- dren, and where the females are careful and intelligont—not otherwise. We admit that many of the camphene explosions have been caused by carelessness, but just as many b ignorance of the nature of the fluid. Camphene is the proper chemical name of the oil of turpentine. It is com- ed of CW H8-—cs.rbou and hydrogen. t is the excess of carbon which makes it give off a dense smoke when btirned in a common lamp. It did not, so far as we know, obtain this name in the way menti- oned above, but because cautphor can be obtained from it’ The only drtfereoce be- tween it and sulphur is this--Carnphor is W ofCIO, H8, 0--one of ozgeu. ' tlrsoelfitr tree a vetsttleetl "ob- tained, which is,isom_er,ic with camphene. this by oxydation for s_ castiphor and by- drato of camphene. bot mixed with turpentine will not‘ prevent. it (though we have not tried. the‘ experiment) from hum- ing wltli dcusb"I_l!!0k5' ll‘ ‘common lamp; we thus judge ‘from the composition of the substance. Neither camphene, turpentine, nor the burnin fluid mentioned by Mr. Jones are explosive as fluids. Brandy can be poured upon a lamp without causing an explosion. All substances commonly cal- led estpioeive fluids must become vaporized before an‘ explosion can take place. The vapor of camphene bec "es explosive when it is mixed with 028, (oxygen); lllil N00!!!“ saturates it to ignate instantaneously and forms carbonic acid and water. The alcohol and camphene mixture is more volatile than camphene, as it contains more hydrogen $04, H50‘l‘I-I0.) All these fluids are per- eclly safe to burn, if the va or can be pre- vented from escaping- y experiments which were made by the Franklin Institute, the turpentine and cohol fluid proved cheaper than either ape , lard, or gas, for illumination. The suggestion by Mr‘. Jones of our government making experiments with camphene and alcohol fluids is a good one; it is worthy ‘of attention. Newell’s Safety Lamp, illustrated in our last volume, is the best we have seen for burning this fluid; it is constructed on the principle of Davy’s Safety Lamp, and can be trusted. In our list of claims last week, one was for a can to hold the fluid, which we believe is a good one. The inventor is Dr. Nichols, of He- verhill, Muss. It would certainly be wrong to enact a law to prohibit the use of burn- ing fluids, but at the same time it would not be amiss to make a law to prevent accidents arising from the use of them, so as tprpum ish the culpable and reckless. ese fluids can never be used ‘for street illumina- tion, they are neither so convenient nor safe as coal gas sent through tubes; in fact, gas is the grandest and best of all plans for ar- tificial illumination, and we hope the day is not for distant when nothing else will be used in every family in all the cities and villages in our land. Every improvement which tends to clues in gas light is an in- calculable boon to the human family. A Srsounsn Brno.-—There is in the gar- den at Regent's Park, London, a plain-look- ing, sombre bird, a native of New Holland, called the brush turkey, whose habits of rearing its broad are among the most remarkable in the histor of animal irr- stincts. The bird is s t rough chemist, and constructs for itself a patent incubator, on chemical principles, by which it hatohee its eggs in a scientific manner, without the tedious sitting to which other birds submit. This bird, at present, occupieqfipart of the . e great aviary on the south vi the gar- dens, on the right afler entering the gate from the road. It is not a very striking bird in its appearance. The upper surface of the adult male, its wings and tail, is ofa blackish-brown at the base, goin into sil- ver gray at the ends. The skin 0 the head and neck is of a deep pink, verging on red, and thinly sprinkled with a short, dingy hair. The wattle is of a bright yellow, shading oil‘ into red. In size it is nearly that of ‘a turkey. ' In general habits this bird is remarkable; it is in the reproduction of the species that its anomalous proceedings are manifested. It is abelieverin fermentation and oo-opera- tion, for when the breeding season arrives, a number of the birds enter into partner- ship, and collect a huge heap of vegetable matter, which is allowed to ferment till it fortns a hot-bed. Several weeks are patient ly employed in forming this heap, but when once formed, it does duty for several years, new matter being added at the top as that beneath rots away. In collection, the birds use only the foot; the bill is not used at all. The surface of the ground surrounding the the hot-bed is thus cleared of every leaf and blade of grass, every scrap of vegeta- tion being added to assist in the fermenta- tion. When this pyrarnidical mound of green stuff has had sufficient time to heat, and when it is just at the proper temperature for hatching, the large eggs are inserted, not side by side, but planted at regular in- tervals from each other, and stack into the fury, smoking heap, perfectly uprigbt, the large end downward, and at an errn'+length below the surface. They are then covered up, and left till hatched. Whether the chickens have to fight their way through the warm, " artificial mother," or whether, as Mr. Gould was informed, the females re- main in the neighbourhood, is a question not yet settled; there is no doubt, however, that in either case nature has provided for the safety of the on , and that all its is- stincts are ad tot circumdaaoes of of its birth.
