We have heard a talk in the country. and we have seen absolutely put into practice in the United States of America. a scheme for what is called Now. feeling very strongly on that subject. I take this opportunity of publicly sta- ting my opinion that any such scheme is fraught with the utmost dun r to the Protestant liberties of this country fl-ilaught with danger to the Protestant religion itscl . If I look to America I am happy to find that the scheme there has been. Igpight almost as utterly abor- tive. It is uitc true. ans every man at at aduiit that there are some slight things-—some mistranslations. slight in themselves. and not affecting any great principle- which might be corrected in a new translation of the oly Scriptures. but they are so slight in com rison with the danger of letting in those who woul make alterations, partly from the criticism of erudition. partlv for the purpose of getting in dogmas of their own. that I think it would be the most dangerous and most disastrous thing that could occur to this country if we wore to per- mit those words to with. which have been household words in many a pious family for upwards of 300 years. and I hope will be the household words of all the families of the world before 300 years more elapse. If we were to allow those holy words to be tampered with. we should be in the greatest danger of shaking our Pro- testant institutions to the foundation. We iave some old landmarks. and the Bible is the greatest of tliese.and. rather than risk the removal of these great landmarks of our Protestant institutions. I would submit to those little imperfections which may exist in our resent version, lcavin it as part of the calling of our ministers to study the Ho y Scriptures in the original tongues. to fit them to ex lein to those who sit under them wherein those little di orcnces exist. lam quite certain of this, that if we had not an authorised and confirmed version of the llolg Scriptures we should never have arrived at this day wit Protestantism so thoroughly and staunchly established as it is in this country at present. Therefore. I do hope that if any agitation is made in this country for the pur as of disturbing the present authorised version of the ible. the Christian community will rise upas one man in its defence. and wil maintain it intact. seeing it is so dangerous to touch it."

LOSS OF THE BRIG FAWN. suriresisos or s New vosxre sun iiis wire. Some interesting particulars of the brig Fawn. on her way from San Francisco to New York, the loss of which with the mate and three seamen. was reported b the last arrival from California. is contained in the following extract from a letter written by Dr. E. P. Vollum. of the United States Army to his father-in-law in this city : “During the voyage we encountered adverse winds, and galco-of extraordinary violence for this coast, which in- creased in force till 21st November, when we were riding a hurricane. expecting momentary destruction. About 6 a. in. the vessel was struck by a sea of great magnitude and capsized. and was inverted for some seconds. durin which time we were all under water and nearly drowns ; some were injured by the falling and rolling of furniture of the cabin. When the vessel rightcd. both masts and bowenrit were torn out and hangin by the rlggin hull, and every object on deck inolu ing galley an men's bunks. washed away. together with three men. The masts and rigging were soon out free. and we were left to the mercy of the waves with notliin but the hull. With daylight came the sight of bold c ill’ about five miles distant on our lee. toward which we were drifting before a strong wind, and upon which we momentarily oxpoc to be dashed to pieces : when we fortunately discovered that by cutting loose the chains and anchors that were hangin over the bows. we could divert our course south of the c ilfs. This was soon elected with a saw, and we veered of and headed as we expected. and commenced entering the breakers that were running mountains high on a beech shore For the first few seconds after we had entered the breakers I was not conscious of what sition we had been in or what had taken place. so vio cat was the mo- tion and tremendous the roar and rush of waters. We came out of the first sea in the same sition I had fixed myself reperatory to the dive we ad to make, with Amelia y my side. sitting on a trunk which was braced between a firm table and the berths. We soon recovered from the dashin and drowning. and repercdfor the so- cond breaker, an so on until we had advanced for enough toward the beach to feel the vessel on the ground. when the breakers were much less forcible and den one. We were in an unusually strong vcssol or we s ould have no to ieces as soon as we entered the breakers. We remain in the breakers two days and one ni ht. with- out food or water. excepting about twenty poun s of hard bread and some wine. which was kc t almost exclusively for Amelie. As soon as the tide fe I on the second do we began to look for some chance of getting ashore. o found that we were halfe mile from the shore.on a shoal at the mouth of a river, with a deep channel runnin towards us. and dividing in two. thus com lctely cuttin as oil’ from land. Our boats had been was ied overboer , and our only means of crossing these channeh was to make e raft. which we set about doing as soon as the tide went down low enough to enable us to con deck without. danger of being washed overboard by t c breakers. The bulwarks being the only part that was convertible into a raft with the tools we had (one saw and one hatchet). they were soon alongside. when to our surprise we found they would not float two persons r In this dilemma we conceived the idea of pnssingaline over one of the channels. and sending over one or two at a time to the main land. Aftcr consulting we concluded that we could.not live on tho wreck another night. and that we must cross the channel or he lost—-so we all t ofi‘ on the shoal. and waded to the edge of the channel. which by this time had become uitc bore. Each one took a blanket or coat. and Ame is was placed on the strongest sailor. and after changing to enothcr—the first giving out—she was safely deposited on the shosl.drcssod in‘ pea jacket and panteloons. my boots and Mary‘; hood, with a red blanket on top of all. None of us had on clothes that belonged to us. Everything was wet. and first come to, or which was least wet. was put on—hence Auiolia's attire. When we arrived at the ed of the channel we had to cross we found that it ran with a vio- lcnt current. was very deep. and could not be crossed on our raft, as we had hoped. in order to attach the line. We gave up the raft. and seised upon the only hope left —e few logs that were water-soaked and lying upon the sh t low tide we commenced making a raft of them. At this time the tide commenced running iii. and soon threatened to cover the shoal we were on th water. th_us cutting us cl from the vessel. which we had deter- mined coul not sustain us another night. while the deep chniinel separated us from land.
