On the evening of the llth ult., the Annual Meeting of the St. James‘ Church Society for Religious and Missionary purposes, was held_iti the Charcli at seven o'clock, the av. Robert Mucaair, the President, in the Chair. The Meeting having been 0 cried in the usual manner, with Praise and Prayer, the Report or the past year was read by the Secretary, as follows : REPORT. Under the influence ofa Divine Providence we are privileged to assemble this evening to take a retrospect of our proceedings during the past year, and receive from those of us to whorri has been dele- gated oflicial power, an account oftheir Stewardship. At ti general meeting of our congregation on the 19th August, I850, ti proposition was submitted and discussed, recornmendingtlie formation of a Religious and Missionary As~‘ociation in connection with our Church ; and some preliminary arrangements were then tidoptod for the immediate organization of on nlliaiice, designated “ the St. .Iames's Church Society for Religious and Missionary purposes " ' The Iirst meeting was held on the 21st September, when the draft of the constitution was aubiiiitt and adopted, and the oflice-bearers for the year accordingly elected. The subs iient monthly iiieet- iiigi were regularly he d, and the interest oft to Society sustained by the delivery of discourses and essays by the President and others on subjects relating to the cliarncteristio objects of the Society. Among others llou. lllr. Ilirnio and Mr. Morpetli delivered interest- ing and instructive Iisstiys, claiming special notice in the detail of our intellectual depurtriietit. During the last quarter, as other congregational meetings of im- rirtuuce were instituted and could not be advantageously sustained williout the general support and the united elforts of all concerned; to avoid nti eiiibarriiasiiig collision, a rent it! suspension of our nicelitigs was deemed expedient, but this poatponeirierit has not been prejudicial to the vital interests of our Society, as the Collectors did not relax their persevering diligence and praiseworthy devotion in tlisclitirgiiig the duties devolving oti t em. The 'l‘rensurer'a account shows a total of upwards of £39 0s. 0d. collected on hehzilfofthe Society, during the piist year, which coit- sitlering the other calls upon its iiienibers, the Committee regard as creditable to the diligence of the Collectors. This rimoutit is for the iuost pitrt allocated by the donors, and in pretty nearly the following proportions, about one-third of the whole auiount to the I.ibrtiry,.'ind about the sanity sum to the Home .\lission. For the Indian Mission ofthe Church of Scotlatid, about £2 5 has been subscribed. and for the Jewish Mission £1 1 6. Oftha reiiiainder, the sum of £1 I5s. wait voted to the Foreign Mission ofthe I'rc-sliyti.-riaii Church of Nova >'r-.uti:i, conducted by tho cv. Mr. (ieddie, who formerly lil- bourcd in this lslniitl; while the rest consists principally of collec- tions at the .\lonthly llleetiiiga for incidental expenses, and ofsmull suiiis not allocated by the Subscribers. The Committee beg to recommend, that the sums subscribed for objects, whose field of operations is out of the lsluirl, should be forwarded as speedily as possible, as tt,tokon. however small, of our good-will, that the sum subscribed for the Library be expended immediately in the purchase of books. and that the fund under the head of Home Missions be left in the hands of the Committee for the coming year, to be expended in whole or in part, or in accor- dance with the object of the scheme, or to be reserved till a larger sutii is accumulated. Iii retiring from the ollices with ivliicli you lioiiourcd us, we can- not do leaa, while gratefully tliariltiiig you for the distinction, than to assure you, that i we have not ' your expectations, it has to want of ti sincere desire to realize your wishes.

I have all and more than I want ofevery thing. I have all the insane of happiness but one, and the Want of that renders every other bless- ing of no value." “ And what is that !" asked the dervisli. " I adore the beautiful Zulemn; but alie loves another. and all m riches and honours are as notliin . I am the most miserable a man; my life is a burden, and my death would be the greatest of casings." “ llefure Almoran could rcply. there approached a poor creature, clothed in rage, and leaning on his stutf, bewc down to the earth with it load of misery.

The cultivation ofthe earth is congenial to the nature ofmaiikind, and :1 very large proportion of men, during some share ofthcir lives, either do or have ti desire to become farmers. Besides those in ci- iilized countries who are bred to the culture of the soil, and take it as their sole pursuit through life, there are tliousauds of others, who retire from the trouble and anxieties of trade, tie vexntions of a prol'i:ssional, or the turmoils ofn public life, to rural quiet, and the undisturbed [i0.~'§t3a'!I0i| ofan acre of an .

But these being satisfied or disappointed, the mind Sfl free, returns to its native desires, and applies its remaining energies to the peaceful gratification. But reason and experience I v,well be allowed their share, in bringing so large it portion of _iud, ultimately to the cultivation of the earth. \Vho, at the ‘vibe of'liis native dignity and independence, would not prefer to be lord over ti few acres of land, with no y’a uinoura to consult but his own, and nobody to please but his Maker, to the cringing, the fawning, and lying that are apt to enter so largely into political, profs.-ssiona , mercantile and mechanical life .’ an man on earth can say. ask no favours,’ it is the farmer.

In more recent times, we have further details on this subject. The tables kept by Sir Stephen J.-iaseti, state, that in seven years, ending in I756, there were con- victed. capitally, in London and Middlaaex, four hundred and twen- ty-eight, of whom about three—fourt|is were executed. 'l'lint frorri l76l It) I772, four hundred and fifty-seven were convicted, and two liundrod and thirty-tlirce, or it little rriore thin half, executed. lluring the interval between 1772 and 1802 the accounts have not been published, but from I802 to I808 the returns rinted by the Secretary of Stair.-’ii oilice utford very accurate in ormtition. In 1802 there were ninety-seven conyictt-(I, and ten executed, being about one-tenth; and the average yearly number of coiivictious for tire whole seven succeeding years being about seventy-five the ave- rage iiunibor of executions was about iiitie and a half, or somewhat more titan one eighth. Thus, a change of it very itiatcrial kind took place duing the reign of George III. At the beginning ofthat reign, there were more executionatlian pardons for peraoiis capitally convicted. Now it is stated, there are about ten times as many par- doned us executed. TIIE MOB. 'I‘lie mob is a demon, fierce and ungovernable.

A KIND DISPOSITION. _ Among the peculiarqualities of the human character, that is a ricelesa ruby. Its intrinsic value can never be estimated by any iuaian mode of reckoning, nor can its absence be supplied by any other accomplishment, however ftiacinatin in appearance. it more is lost than many are aware of, through the lack of respectful and affectionate attention. even in stnall things. It is so in . rstirial intercourse, to famil associations, and in the common _civi Ities of society. There is an innate principle in the disposition of race, which can traverse like the magnetic needle. Alfeetiouate_ It lieu, like the loadstone, always attracts it, and nothing else will._ Iu_the absence of this qualit it will assuredly fly elf in another direction. ‘or instance, the hu snd's atfeetion cannot always br_iive unplea- sant and unccnrteoua language, oft repeated by the wife of _ som, however strong his attachment may have been at first. His affection cannot always stand a repeated din of fau_lt-finding, nor brook oft an un leusaut and unoourteous sptrit. If his home cannot be made pcacelliil and unpleasant, he feels that heia iri_decd wretch- ed. As it consequence of this, many a husband has dail been driv- en to spend hours from home, which otherwise woul have been pleasantly spent athia own fireside. Many such, in the _ of enjoyment at home. have vainly sought it in other plpcea, _ till goadcd to madnesa.under disappointed feeling. have fallen into dissi- pation, liceaiiousnesa and ruin. Such occurrences are by no meaiia rare, and were all the facts of them laid open to the light. the origin ofthetn would be traced to n neglect of respectful attention, small at beginning. A moroso dis osition will assuredly increase, like a disease, if it is not cured. bun it then as you would a_ wasting consumption, which is continually gnawing at the vitala oflife. How winning to the careworn mind is the lensant auiile and the soothing lungua e of an affectionate heart. '1‘ ink of it, fair reader,ttnd pon- der we I the path of wisdom. Social and affectionate friendship is the only principle that in any degree cements society. \’Vithoat this, society is only a broken mass of panic ea. ' llow dear to the heart is that kind, affectionate neighbor, who seems to be looking alter the health and prosperity of all around him one whose countenance wears the smile of unfei ed friendship, and whose frequent salutalions have an air of cheer ulnesa and af- fection, evor obliging, and rich in acts of kindness. Of rriore intrin- sic value are the honors bestowed on that individual, than all the fawning tlutterics the hero or riionitrcli is heir to. \Vealth combined with power may enlist fawning sycophancy, but what is the fame of "upoleon compared with the name of llownao? A moroso tyrant is welcome to all the honors his deeds or his wealth may secure to l ' When dead. society suffers no loss, and has no tears to shed over his grave. Ilia soul posse none of that cementing quality that consolidates peaceful and virtuous society. Peace to his ashes but as for his memory, it is not worth preserving. The Pain do Vaca, or Cow-tree, of Brazil, is one of the moat re- markable trees in the forests of Brazil. Durin several months in the year ivhen no rain falls, and its branches are dead and dried up, if the trunk be tapped, a sweet and nutritious milk exudes. The flow is most iibundaiit at sunrise. 'I‘hcn, the natives receive the milk into large vessels, which soon grows thickens on the surface. Some drink plentifully of it under the tree, others take it home to their children.

A lady, 21 years of age. under the effects ofn terrible honirrhage. exhibited all the characteristics ofupproacliing death, which succeed the loss of blood. Dr. Delortne suggested the idea ofa transfusion of blood. ' ‘he remedy was regarded as hazardous, but under the desperate circumstimccs of the cave, juslifiahle, and it was ado it . r. Derringer, surgeon ofthe lloicl llieu, undertook the operation; and an otiicer of the institution otfcred to furnish. from his own veins, the requisite blood. A s ringe wits prepared to receive the bl to be injected into the veins of the dyii woman. The syringe being filled with about 200 grammes of I518 borrowed blood, was plunged into \\'arin water, of ti temperature aoiiiewhat above that of blood in circulation. A vein in the arm of the patient was cho- sen as the most convenient for receiving the injection. 'I‘liis vein having been opened, it fine tube was introduced, adu ted to the syringe, and through this the vivifyiiig fluid was cnrcfiilly forced into the cxhau-itcd blood-vessels of the now senseless ivoman. Al- most iriiiiiediately she began to revive, feelin , as she afterwards doscribetl it, air .-rgrcc.-ililo warmth distributed throughout her body. Consciou-mess soon returned, and Ill the course of an hour or live there was so lively and intense a reaction, as to excite considerable anxiety iiuiong the iiiedical nttendaiits. The continued to improve, mid at the last accounts-—the [st November —-tho mostcontident hopes were entertained, that the cxperirncat would be completely successful. EXi'l"IDI'I‘ION T0 'I‘Ill-I S.\NDWlCII ISLANDS. A few days since we alluded to it secret expedition fitted out in Sari I"rnnci:-co for the Sandwich Islands. 'l‘hc following from is New Qrlonus paper, is the most connected narrative we can find roapecttn it :— “ It will he reeollected, that King Kamehameha sent a commis- sion to Washington, some months since, for the of offering the sovereignty of the Sandwich Islands to the United States. It is true, the arrangeiiiciits were not consummated; but they were loll in such a position, that they can be resumed and concluded at any time after the meeting ofthe next Congress. Mr. Allen, the King’- Comriiissioner, was here a few weeks ago, and it was understood that he had lost and confidential conversations with Gen. Eatill. S. Brannon, Hon. Ilenry E. Robinson, and other distinguished parties, the result of which has been the getting up the emigrating company, a portion of whom, went in the Game Cock, yesterday. The re- nininder will sail in the beautiful clipper, Colonel Fremont, on Ttiesduy next. The reports of armed expeditions, have no doubt, originated from the formation of this compan of emigrants. It is pleasing to see, that there is no foundation liir such reports, and it is also highly grntifyin to know, that the course to be adopted is one that ensures comp etc success, and that it is intended to he carried out in a manner that will be creditable and peculiarly ad- vantageous to both the United States and the Islands. I"ull con- fidence is expressed by the parties engaged in the movement. that a few months only will elapse before the Sandwich Islands inalte art and parcel of the Great Republic. The bf‘ r purchased by Mr. John S. Spence, consul of the K’ ofthe Sand- wich Islands; and in order to prove cleazly the paci c character of ‘ ‘ to be the whole expedition, he has been mvit t at most ofthe meetings of the company, and has att ed them, when nesswouldnllowhiiridoao ehtheag tefihccrno papy, and through him all their business will bettce, d‘ any i connected withthe expedition, as well in _ ' ' ,u in tho United States.
