COUNTY POLICE.—SATURDAY. [Magistrate: Captain PHILLIrs, R.N CaRis-rcELuiacm. -Edward Fitzgerald, charged by P.C. Barnes with being drunk and disorderly, was fined 10s. and costs.—It appeared the defendant (who denied being drunk, and said he only went to the assistance of an old man, who was being struck) had given a wrong name, but for which the magistrate said he would have been more leniently delt with.-In reply to the defen- dants plea, Captain Phillips said that if a man was doing a good action he need not be afraid of his name. [The Rev. T. POPB here joined the Bench.] CHBISTCHURCH EXTENSIVE BEIIUKE OF UNSOUND MEAT. William Rosser, William Carter, Edwin Day, and Josiah Morgan were charged with having in their pos. session, in the parish of Christchurch, the carcases of two cows, which had been seized by the inspector of nuisances for the Christchurch Board of Health, as unfit for the food of man. The summonses issued was under the 26th and 27th Victoria, c. 117, a. 72. Mr. Cathcart appeared for defendants. P.C. Herbert said on Saturday last, he was informed that a cow was lying dead on the road between St. Brides and Magor. On inquiry he found at Mr. Rosser's barn, at Magor, the two dead cows. Carter, Day, and Morgan were there. Rosser was not present. Morgan and Day were skinning one of the beasts. Carter was removing the fat. The o'htr beast was skinned. From the way in which they were dressed he suspected that some- thing was wrong, and communicated with Inspector Shepard. One of the beasts was opened. The men got some water and a cloth to wash the carcaaes, and he thought something was wrong. Saw Morgan sawing the beast, and there were two buckets of blood very offensive. By Mr. Cathcart: Am not a butcher, but can kill and dress a sheep. It is customary to skin a dead beast. I believe the skin and the fat are bo.h valuable. The carcase when cleaned might do for pigs, Should not think people would go to the trouble of cleaning for pigs. It might be in a better condition fcr removal if cleaned. Did not know how the cow died. They were well grown and in middling condition. I know a little of farming. Know that at this time of year cows will sometimes eat clover until they kill themselves. Was informed that that was the cause of death in this case. P.C. 1atthews said on Tuesday morning about two o'clock a.m., the 17th, eaw a cart driven into the George yard, at Maindee. There were several casks in the cart, and Morgan was one of two men with the cart. Could no: recognize the second mo. From information pre- viously received of the meat coming in, he at once gave information to Inspector Shepard, who returned with him, and left the cart in Lis (witness's) possession. He saw the liver and hides in the cart, and the meat was in the casks with salt over it. Annie Harris said she was servant at the New Inn, Langstone. On Monday night Morgan and Day went to the New Inn between ten and eleven o'clock. They had a cart. Did not know what was in the cart. Did not know what time they left. Supposed they were there a couple of hours. They left together with the cart. Inspector Shepard sworn* I am Inspector of Nui- sances fur the Christchurch district. In consequence of information received from the first witness, I had been on the look out for some meat to arrive from Magor, as also had the b, rough police, to whom I had given infor- mation. On Tuesday morning last in consequence of information receivtd from the second witness, I pro- ceeded to the George lun, Maindee. I saw in the yard a cart with four casks in it, two cowhides, and two livers. I examined the casks, and found they contained beef, cut up in sma!l joints and salted. The Rev. Chairman In saltable joints? Witness; It is cut up for ship use. Gave informa- tion to the constable to remain in charge. Between six and seven I again visited the spot with Inspector Wil- liams, of the Borough force, who is also inspector of nuisances. The servant girl of the George was then up, and I went into the kitchen and found the de- fendant Carter had been sleeping on the sofa-in fact he was on the eofa when I went in. He came into the yard, and we asked him who the meat belonged to. He said it did not belong to him—he had sold it to a ycung fellow named Morgan, but he had not been paid for it. m The Rev. Chairman Did he mean the young man at the bar I jp Witness No doubt he did, for I fetched Josiah Mor- gan to him. I told him I should seize the meat as unfit for human food. Carter said it. was not intended for human food, but for a man named Panniers, at Little Mill, who sent meat of that description to London for dog's meat. He added, I eame home last night intend- ing to write to Pannier?, but I was too late. I then went to the residence of Josiah Morgan, and called him. He live* with his father at Maindee, next door to the Royal Oak. When he came out I asked him for some information relative to the meat at the Royal George. He said it did not belong to him-all he had had to do with it was to help to dress. I said Well, you brought it to the George yard last night: where did you get it?" He said from Msgor. I then took him to the defendant William Carter, and said, Mor- gan says he does not own the meat-you huven't soid it to him." Carter answered, Well, there is no money paid, but he is to have it, and make what money he can of it." He then asked whose horse it was that was there. Carter owned it, and said the cart belonged to George Carter, ot Malpas. By the Bench I asked Carter if be had got the m?at from Mr. Rosser's, and he said I am not certain of the name but it is just outside Magor." We then took the meat to the Corporation yard at Newport, which was a more convenient place for inspection. The meat was seen by Mr. S. Horatroy in my presence, and an order was given me to have it destroyed, it having been in- SDected by Dr. Davits, the medical officer of the Board of Health, who said it was unfit for human food. In the evening I went to Magor and saw Mr. Rosser. 1 told him 1 had had information of his hivir)g three cows dead from being blown, and be told me two of his cows had died en Saturday—that he went to Newport and sold them to W. Carter for the purpose of getting them out of the wav, and be understood they were going to some man at Little Mill for dogs. He said he had a quarter left there for his dogs. I asked him if he had salted it, and he said "No." I asked him if it was usual to salt meat for dogs, and he said 11 No, I never heard of such a thing." I told him the meat taken from his premises b d been salted in barrels, and he said M' he was not awaie of it as ho was in Llandiff. I locked over the barn where the beasts were dressed, and found a portion of two heads and five feet. There were marks of blood on the barn door as if beasts had been bun" up, and there was a quantity of salt about. On Tuesday Carter and Morgan were asked what they had done with the rough fat, and they said they did not bring it away with them. Cross-examined The carcases appeared to have been all cut up in the barrels but there was a portion missing. It was all balted. By the Chairman: It was cut up as if intended for human food. I have not the slightest doubt in the world that it was intended for human food. B. Davir-s, M.D., medical officer of the Local Board of Healtb, of Newport, said I examined a quantity of beef on the 17th instant, in the Corporation yard. It was cut up in convenient pieces as for ship's purposes; it had been salted. Its conditions was as follows It cc was wet, flabby, highly congested with bLod.andthe worst parts in the first stage of iLflammaacn. Ore of the toiurues was also in that stage, and the root had evi- der.I,v been cut off because it lookea tOO Dau..L UILY'" not the slightest doubt this meat was intended forJ^an food, as meat is never salted for animals such as dogs The meat was unfit for human food. In my op tfce'6 animals died before an attempt was ma e o ee them. On examining the hides, I find the throat was cut acrútS from ear to ear, as is the custom among Mahome- danq and Jews, to try to extract some blood. Cross-examine d There was no offensive smell, be- «.»r-p\he salt would in a measure prevent that. The t,nLe did not smell. Had seen plenty|of cats and dogs n London. I believe most people in London t There is a large supply of meat for cats from the Country, but they don't salt it. Undoubtedly salt is KVr'caT^cart- But don't you know that Dr. Lankes- S,1' u "V .».»«■» "■ *"tbo "2b" ot tn/rnis. Witness: No doubt about it. Mr. Cathcart: But you did not find muctl 8alt about it?Mr. D»»i«: It was salted in the usual way sufficient to preserve it. This was the case for the prosecution. Air Cathcart then addressed the Bench on e his ciients- They were, he said, charged with being -obsession of these animals; and Rosser, beginning with him*, had been in possession of the two co*s' which cows, happening to over-feed on clover, had dud in consequence thereof. But there was not one iota of evidence showing that the call e had been uwee«d and it was a matter of congratulation that they were tt clear in that respect. The cattle, then, having died from over feeding, Mr. Rosser, as every pr.den farmer would do, set about disposing of them for what they would fetch, and for the purpose for which they were suited. Well, he was instructed that Mr. Rosser had got 13 for the cows, and if he proved that, and the Bench knowing something of these matters, and knowinz also the respectability of Mr. Rosser, that would be a test of his intention and proof of how he had possession of the oows. But the possession, o come within the Act, must, he took it, be possession for some nefarious purpose, that was to say, knowing the meat to be bad, and unfit for human food, and yet having the intention to sell it for human food. Nothing of that sort could possibly be charged against Mr, Honor. As to Carter, he was in the habit of deal- ing with a lun at Little Mill, who supplied the Lon- don dog's meat market, and this meat was intended for him, and owing to the distance it had to travel, it was necessary to put some salt on to preserve it, but whioh could have easily been washed off to fit the meat for the required purpose. But even if the Bench consi- dered that transaction auspicious, yet as concerned the young men, Day and Morgan, he submitted that they were simply salisting Carter to dress the carcases. Carter was the man, and he must take the responsi- bility: Carter was, in fact, the man in "possession," if they were to deal with that term, and he must bear the onus: the other two young men were not in pos- session in the sense in which they must deal with that term the meat was not their property, Carter made the bargain singly and not in conjunction with the others. And as to Carter, there was present the man from Little Mill, who would tell them that he had been in the habit of dealing largely with Carter for the purpose for which it was contended for the defendants, this meat in question was intended. Mr. Cathcart then called James Huggett, butoher, who said he knew Mr Rosser, who at the present time was owner of many cows, all of which were healthy as far as he knew. Heard of the death of the two cows. Did not see them, but believed from what he had heard they died of over- feeding from clover. Was with Rosser when he sold the cows for L3. Carter said they were for a man aamed Panniers for meat for the dogs. Carter offered £ 2, but Rosser said he must have more, or he would skin them himself, and give the meat for his pigs. Ultimately the deal was for j63, and a quarter of the meat to be left for Rosser's dogs. William Panniers said he lived at Little Mill, and had lived there between three and four years. His trade was horse slaughterer. Supposed he had killed 3,000 animala-horses and cottle-since he had been at Little Mill. Knew William Carter. Had bought perhaps 30 or 40 horses and 1 cow, that he remembered, from Carter. Bought a horse from him last Wednesday. By the Bench The horse waB alive. Cross-examination: I buy animals elive and dead. We skin and boil the carcases, and send them to Lon- don. I send more than a ton a week. If I had had the chacce to buy the beef in question I should have bought it. Re-examined We don't salt our meat. We kill it tc-day and boil it, and tend it off directly to London. The cow I bought from Carter ic the spring was bought whole, and not salted. By Mr. Cathcart: It was fresh. By the Bench: I don't buy anything but what is fresh if it was putrified, it would not suit my market. Air. Cathcart drew the attention of the Bench to the r fact that Sunday had intervened, the cows having died on the Saturday. This being the case for the defence, '1 he R v. Chairman said tha case was a very serious one indeed in which the public were very much inte- rested, particularly at the present moment. With regard to Rosser, the Bench sympathised with his loss very much indeed, and the only question as to him was, whe- ther, when he sold the beasts, he had been sufficiently careful to inquire for what purpose they were intended to be applied. But he had allowed the meat to be salted, and be (the Chairman) must confess that he thought he (Rosser) should then have had knowledge that the meat was not intended for dogs. Mr. Rosser I was at Llandaff on that day. The Rev. Chairman: We sympathise with you in the loss you have sustained; and therefore you are free. With regard to Day and Morgan (the Chairman conti- nued) they appeared to have been employed by Carter in doing an unjust act, :namely, preparing unfit meat for human food, and the court would not be severe with them. They would each be fined 10s. and costs, or fourteen days' imprisonment. The charge now remained against Calter; and the Bench had no doubt in the world that this meat, which had been salted and taken away under cover of night, was intended for human food. The defendant deserved to be punished, and the sentence of the Court was that be be fined £5 including costs for each beas', or three months' imprisonment. An application on behalf of Carter to be allowep time to pay, was refused. Ultimately the whole of the money was forthcoming. BOROUGH POLICE.—MONDAT. [Magistrates: W. GBAHAM, jun., Esq., Mayor; L. A. HOMFKAY and W. EVANS, Esqrs.] John Davies, for being incapably drunk, was fined 5s. Joseph Milward Wade and Miles Llewellin were sum- moned for £2 O, 6d., dua to the Newport and Pill gwenlly Co-operative Loan Society—The defendants did not appear, and P.S. Bath said he had served the summonses at the residences of the parties.—In reply to the Bench, Mr. Samuel, one of the trustees, said that Wade was the principal, and Llewellyn the surety.-The Bench thought the defendarits should be present, and adjourned the case for a week to enable them to attend, P.S. Bath being directed to inform them that if they were not then present warrants would be issued against them. William Morgan, Edward Lewis, and James Morris, were summoned for L3 10.. due to the same societl.- Mr. Davie, the secretary of the society, applied for an adjournment for six weeks to enable the parties to pay by instalments.—Gran ed. Joseph Consigiion, seaman, was summoned for riding frcm Cardiff to Newport in a first-class carriage with a second-class ticket on the Great Western Railway.— Alfred Pullen, station master at High-street station, Newport, said that on the 18th instant, on the arrival of the 7.8 train, he saw the defendant jump oat of a first- class carriage, nearly knocking him (witness) down. He thought there was an object in their leaving so ab- ruptly, and he followed them to the gate, and found the defendant had given a second-class ticket. Asked him why he had ridden in a first-class, and he said he entered the first carriage he got to. Witness asked for his ad- dress, and he replied "Malta." He told the defendant he must pay the difference, but he refused, and went and told the tioket collector to open the gate. This was partially done, and the defendaat flung it wide opeD) and assumed a threatening attitude to the oollector. The defendant, through an interpreter, said that there was nothing written on the carriage to say it was a first-class." As to getting out others left the train be- fore him. Tho witness said be had second-class return ticket, and had gone to Cardiff in a second-class car- riage.-Defmdant denied that he had a return ticket.— Two return ticke's were produced of consecutive num. bers but that was explained by the interpreter, who said the captain and his mate went down in the morning, and rtturned at night, and the seaman was a third mbo, who had come from Cardiff to ship at Newport. G. Ellul, master ot a foreign vessel, was charged with a like offence.—The ticket collector proved receiving the second-class ticket.—Alfred Mason, station master at Cardiff, said b9 saw the defendant (Ellul) in a first class carriage at Cardiff. None of the officials put him in, and there was room in the second class.-The Bench said they wished to know whether there was room, because they knew that there had been a great deal of cump-aint on the part of second class passengers, because of the in. convenience they experienced from the deficient number of second class carriages, and the practice of railway officials putting them in the third class carriagee.-Tue Captain pleaded guilty, and eaid in his country (Italy) the second class carriages were better than the first in this country.—The Captain was fined 20s. and costs, and the seaman 5s.—Inspector M abbe It applied tor Mr. Mason's costs of coming frcm Cardiff, but the application as refused.—The public generally may not know that the penalties in these cases go to the company. Z ,chriab Thomas was summoned by Samuel Parsons for 193, 3d. wages.—Defendant's wife admitted the claim, aad the amount Vis ordered to be paid. Cathtrint, M'Donald fur being incapably drunk, was fned 5s. Jehu O'Brien,charged with being drunk and disorderly was fined 5s.

William Walker, a sailor, charged with being drunk and disorderly was ordered to be discharged on paying 3s. 6d. expenses, as he went to the station-house quietly. Ed ward Hopkin .Miles, whose face was scratched all over, his right eye blackened, and altogether presented a most deplorable appearance, was charged with being drunk and disorde'y, and uiing obscene language, at the Town-hall, on Monday night. The defendant has been repeatedly before the Bench, and he was again sent to Uk for 28 days, in default of paying £1 and costs. (Before the MAYOR and E. J. PHILLIPS, E q.) Elizabeth Edmonds, keeper of a bad house,wascnarged with being drunk and using obscene language, in Canal- parade, fined 20s., or fouiteen days' imprisonment. Thoaaas Edmonds, husband of last prisoner, was charged with assaulting P.C. Molland and tearing his coat, and attempting to rescue his wife from Molland a custody, fined 20s., or in default fourteen days' impri- sonment. John Hanaan was charged with being drunk ana dwor- derly and assaulting P.C. 11. The nonstable said that on Monday afternoon he saw prisoner and another man fighting in Dock-road. He parted them, and as he had hold of him be struck the other man. On taking him into custody he became so violent that witness had to throw him down and put on the handcuff. Prisoner then became more violent, bit his hand, and kicked him several times. Witness afterwards was obliged to get a cord and tie his legs, and he then with assistance got him into a cart and conveyed him to the station-house. Edward Kidd gave corraborative evidence. He 'con- sidered the constable, who was shamefully used, to have acted very well, in fact, be did not use sufficient force against prisoner. Mr. Hiley stated that he entirely con- cured in all Mr. KiJd had said, and that the constable bad acted with the greatest forbearance. The prisoner was fined 40s and costs, or in default two months' hard labour. Thomas Richardson charged with being drunk and disorderly, was fined 10s. and .costs, or 14 days.

Mr. Batchelor appeared for the complainant, and said the proceedings were taken under the 236th section of the Merchant Shipping Act. He said the complianants case was that he lodged at defen- dant's house, and be gave into the landlady's hand for safe custody the sum of L12 10s, Of that sum he had received j67 5., leaving a balance of S5 5s., which he could not get. The landlads said she received £10 10s. from the man, and she had paid him four soverigns in gold. S2 7s. in liquor, 16s. board, and £ 3 7s. when tht account was settled. It appeared that the complianant was not a British subject, and Mr. Kessick said the act did not apply to him. Mr. Batchelor dissented from this ruling, and on hia application the case was adjourned. James Smith was charged with being arunit ana re fusing to proceed to sea in the British ship G. I. Jones. —Mr. Lloyd, shipping master, deposed that he shipped the prisoner to proceed to the Cape of Good Hope, and from thence to China or any port in the Indian seas, the voyage not to exceed three years. He got prisoner down to the pier head yesterday, as the vessel was leaving, but they could not get him on board, and he said he would rather take three months than go with the vessel. The prisoner had an advance note for J63 153.— The Bench sent the prisoner foi 28 days' hard labour. Robert Shelham was charged by Sarah Shelham, his wife, with assaulting and beating her.—It appeared that the wife went to a public-house for defendant, when he began to ill-use her, and struck her in the eye. Both parties, were of violent tempers, and it was stated that in December, 1866, he was sent to prison for a mon'h for a similar offence.

EFFICACY OF DR. DE JONGH'S LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL IN CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST.—It is now universally admitted by the most emineut medical practitioners that Dr. de Jongh's Cod Liver Oil is beyond all question the most valuable remedy for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest. No remedy so rapialy restores the exhausted strength, improves the nutritive functions, stops or diminishes emaciation, checks the prespiration, quiets the congh and expectoration, or produces a more marked and favourable influence on the local malady. Dr. Waudby, Physician to the Hereford Infirmary, bears the following high testimony to its efficacy from his own personal experience: "I can take Dr. de Jongh's Oil without difficulty or dislike, and with as little inconvenience as water alone. Not only in my own case, but in many others I have seen, it has caused an improvement of cheat symptoms, and an increase of weight, so soon and so lastingly, as to be quite remarkable. I believe Dr. de Jongh's Oil to be the most valuable remedy we possess for chronic and constitutional disease." Dr. de Jongh's Light-Bsown.Cod Liver Oil is sold only in capulaed imperial half-pints, 2s. 6d, pints 4s. 9d, quarts, 9a, labelled with his stamp and signature, without which none can possibly be genuine, by his sole consignees lnsar, Harford, and Co., 77, Strand, London; and A respectable chemists.

LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY. JSBWTOBT AUXILIARY. On Sunday last sermons in aid of this Sooiety were preached at the various places of worship belonging to the Independent deziomina, ion at Newport. The Rev. J. Smith, M.A. (late of Hamburgh), officiated at Dock- street Chapel the Rev. W. Johnson, B. A. (a missionary recently returned from India), the Rev. P. W. Darnton, B.A., and the Rev. J. W. Lance, respectively at the Tabernacle and Victoria Road Chapels and the Rev. W. Edwards and the Rev. J- H. Ljchore at Mill-street Chapel. On Monday evening the annual meeting was held in the Town Hall, when the assembly room was oomfortably filled. Prayer having been offered by the Rev. J. W. Lance, the Mayor (W. Graham, jun., Esq.), who presided, offered a very few introductory observations, after which Mr. C. Lewis, the secretary of the Auxiliary, read the report:^— "In presenting the report of the Newport Auxiliary the committee would, before referring to its proceedings, call attention to the stirring statements made in the Parent Society's last report. It is, indeed, difficult to make proper selections from the numerous and most in. teresting facts which abound in its pages, and your com. mittes would, therefore, earnestly urge on all now present to procure it and read it with the care it deserves. Full of interest, teeming with information, wonderful as a work of fiction, and yet sober as history, the report com- piled by Dr. Mullens is well worth the careful perusal of all who are interested in the work of Christian missions. "Your committee can but cull a few of the leading statements of that admirable production. The society has employed during the past year 169 missionaries in India, China, Madagascar, the South Seas, the West Indies, Africa, &c. Of native assistants there are about 1,400. Some of these are engaged in school teaching, some in reading the Scriptures from house to house, and some are preachers, pastors of churches, or itinerant evangilists. In India alone there are 24 ordained native pastors and missionaries, and in Madagascar, among the 95 native agents there are at least 20 men of high standing in position, character, and ability. At the present moment there are 300 churches gathered in different parts of the heathen world, containing an aggre- gate of 26,000 members with a surrounding population of not less than 150,000 persons who have renounced idolatry, and professed belief in the Christian religion. "Amid many proofs of the zeal and Christian spirit of these native churches is the fact that, out of their poverty they contributed last year £ 15,713 for benevolent and religious objects. H During the past year, though the work has been on the whole uneventful, jet the earnest holy labours of the missionaries have been tini-e in itting. 40 000 children have been under daily instruction, 170 theological students have been prepared for the Christian ministry, and the work of preaching, catechising, and instructing in Chris- tian trnth has been quietly proceeding. In India ten evangelists have been ordained to the work ot' the ministry. Education is advancing throughout that great dependency, and it seems impossible to satisfy the thirst for learning which has been awakened through- out Hindoo society. In Madagascar the year has been signalised by the dedication of the first stone church in memory of the Malagrsy martyrs, at which ceremony the Queen sent her high officers with a message of congratulation. "In South Africa the churches have shared in the common suffering produced by a terrible famine, and only within the last twelvemonths has rain fallen to put an end to the protrac ed trial. Amid all this work, and in the face of the con. tinually expanding field for Christian Missions, the Society has to complain of the lack of satficient help In the language of the report, with all its missions blessed and flourishing, with new fields opened to its efforts, the older fields ever widening, the Society has received from the home churches during the past year but X5000 more than it received from them 30 years ago. With China added to its sphere of effort, and now con- taining 20 missionaries; with India re-conquered and re-settled with a mighty enlargement in its own borders with a vast increase in its own members, its strength, its ministors, its resources, its public influence, the home Church gives to the Foreign Missions of this society nearly the same X50,000 it gave to them thirty years ago.' The consequence of this comparative stagnation of funds, and the immense expansion of the mission field in answer to prayer, has been that the Society is X,5000 in debt, and has during the past year actually exceeded its income by £25.°00, the difference having been met by drawing opon special funds, and by the sale of mission property. This is a most serious condition of things. It is evident either that we must rise to a greater height of liberality, that the home church must exercise more self-denial in order that she may enter into that open door, for which it has so long prayed, and to occupy the field God has so graciously given, or the Missionary Society must curtail its labours, must give up some of its missions, rccall its men, and allow some of the feeble and struggling native churches to relapse into heathenism. Can such an alternative be even contemplated by us? God forbid that our age and our Christianity should ever be so disgraced. "It is pleasant to know that some awakening of missionary zeal has been felt among our churches in Newport. "List spring our worthy Mayor invited a number of ladies and gentlemen to breakfast in the Town Hall, to meet the Rev. R. Robinson, of the London Missionary Society. At that breakfast promises of subscription were given to nearly double the amount of any previous year. In each of the Independent Churches a band of ladies is engaged in canvassing for subscriptions, and as you will observe from the financial report a pleasing improvement has taken place in the state of the funds. The monthly missionary prayer meetings havs been regnlarly held during the year, and the Committee would especially urge on all, the duty and necessity of a better attendance at these meetings. The Monmouthshire Association, of which our churches are members, decided last year to change the time of holding the annual services and meetings from spring to autumn, in the hope that efficient aid might be obtained from Bristol, and that those gentlemen dele- gated from London to visit that city might be able to give a few days to this county. It is to be regretted that notwithstanding the trouble taken by our Associa- tion Secretaryo in trying to accomplish this object it has been found impracticable to make such arrangements. Your Committee cannot conclude their report more appropriately than by quoting the words of Dr. Mullens, in the report of the Parent Society, "The Lord sum- mons you onward, and in His name we ap- peal. By all His ebowers of blessing so lov. ingly bestowed by the prayers He has heard by the successes you have won; by the mighty arm that protects; by the promises which sustain by His desire that all men should be saved and oome to the knowledge of His truth, we appeal to you. By those principles which give you the vigour, the freedom, the healthy piety which you enjoy by that spiritual teach- ing from an open Bible which saves you from the destroy- ing errors which fill the air around you, and gives you grace to impress and mould the age in which you live remember your obligations to that dark heathen world which knows nothing of the mercies you enjoy. -1 We appeal to you as Englishmen, whose rights have grown mote secure and have been rendered more complete than in the years gone by as Christians of large sympa, thies, as men of noble lineage, whose fathers did much for Christ's cause. We appeal for the Master, for the souls for which He has died, and we must not, we cannot appeal to you in vain." CASH ACCOUNT.

W. Johnson then addressed the assembly, and after some prefatory observations, ha said that in India the missionary field was so vast, the work so varied, and a newly-returned missionary was so igno- rant of what people thought and knew and felt about missionary work in these days, that he had been some- what at a loss to decide what would be the best thing to say. Some of their brethren in England knew a great deal about Indian Missions, and were interested in them others there were who, if candid, would con- fess, as a gentleman he met the other day confessed, "the fact is, we don't think about India until a mutiny comes or as a lady said, "we always regard India as one of the dry fields and so it was at certain seasons, but not in the sense sne meant: and there were othera again who had doubts and perplexities and difficulties about missionary work which they would like to have solved. For, as they knew, there was in these days a certain class of writers who railed at missions greatly-who tried to persuade the people of England that the missionaries in India had laboured in vain. Now they must not return railing for tailing but every man who set himself fairly to inquire what was the state of India 67 years ago, when this cen- tury dawned, and what its stale was at this day, would know how to value such an opinion as that. He did not believe that such a statement could possibly be made by any intelligent, Christian man. He said in- telligent and Christian, because if a man was not well- informed about the matter, his opinion was not to be relied upon and if he was not a Christian, he would not be interested in missionary work at all, and he would not he likely to thinki t anything else but bad. And he (the speaker) did think tha', with regard to the con- version of the heathen world, people had supposed that the whole enterprise was going to be accomplished in a very short space of time. They could not, he supposed, rsalise the vastneas and the difficulties of the work; nor had they, ht conceived, sufficiently considered what had been God's way of proceeding in Christianising these Western nations—how gradually, through the ages, His purposes had moved on towards their comple- tion, so far as they were completed, far above the fret and chafings of the world-far above the reach of man, not to be hurried by the impatience nor to be ret arde,l by the opposition of men-just as the glittering stars at night silently moved on the face of heaven—never in a hurry, never standing still, never permitting man to look up and say, I see them move but only after patient waiting, to look up and say, "I see they have moved." (Applause.) He thought the originators of the London Missionary Society had judged wisely when, 70 years ago, petitioning that India might be opened for evangelistic effort, they said-" Your petitioners are anxious that the light and blessings of Christianity should be gradually diffused over the vast empire of Great Britain in the Eist; but they are aware of the mass of Ignorance and prejudice to be encountered, and that the progress of knowledge will be proportionably slow." So it had been and so it must be. (Applause.) He had ofien thought of Paul, standing on the Asiatic shore, and looking across the waters of the JE^ean sea towards the blue hills of Macedonia, and thinkiu of the deep and miserable and universal heathenism of Eirope; and he believed that it must have been out of some such study and thought came the vision at night, when the man of Macedonia said, Come over and help us." He had often traced on the map, as the Bible traced, the progress of the ship which carried the first missionary from Troas across the M gean sea to Neapolis, and thought of the landing of that first missionary of Christianity on our I great continent, over the whole of which Christianity had now spread and he ventured to say that 70 years after that event-the period during which th°y had been at work in India-a very small proportion of Europe was Cnristianised, notwithstanding the miraculous support which was then vouchsafed. Then, they had to remem- ber that, if they excepted the vast but thinly-populated country of Russia in Europe, India was as large as the whole of Europe-that it bad a population which consti- tuted one-sixth of the population of the whole world and when they saw humanity on such a scale, under such multitudinous aspects, with such variety of race and oreed and custom, what could they expect would be done in sixty or seveniy years, even if the Christians of England had awoke up and put forth all their energies for the conversion of that mighty empire which God had so wonderfully committed to their trust? Often as the matter had been brought befoie them, it was difficult for people here to understand the vastness of the field in India, and the inadequacy of the means supplied for its evangelization. The presidency of Bengal alone was equal in area to Spain, and if they added the north-west provinces, the states of Raj- pootana, they had an area larger than the Austrian em- pire bver wa. The lands of the Nizan were equal in extent to Denmark and Belgium and Holland combined the presidency of Madras itself was larger than Great I Britain and Ireland and if they divided the whole po- pulation of India among the missionaries stationed there, there would be 340,000 persons to each missionary. He knew a town in tfce North of England-a representative of many others—which had a population of 130,000. He had takvn the trouble to ascertain how many ministers were there, and he counted sixty ministers of the Gospel —to say nothing of town missionaries yet notwith- standing that large number of good and faithful men, what a vast mass of people were utterly uninfluenced by the-.n—far down, as it were, below the reach of their teaching, and who were living livls bad as any heathen could possibly live. And contrast that with the state of tilings in India, where there were not sixty mi listers to 130,003 people, but a missionary to every 340,000-with race, climate, national antipathy, and everything against thr,m In one province were three millions of people and three m ssionaries; in another one million and two missionaries and many other provinces, with a popula- tion each of 400,000 or 700,000 persons, had not a mis- sionary among the whole of them. In the entire of India there were but 540 or 550 missionaries; and it was only gradually that they had been raised to that number —in 1830, there were but 147. Now if he were to give a glowing account of things and say all was prosperity and no failures, he should not be thought to be saying exactly what was the truth. But he might again challenge them to contrast the present condition of India with what it was about half a century ago, when missionaries were but commencing their labours :-then, the fires of Suttee burned daily-into the roaring and seething Ganges mothers, urged by inhuman priests, flung their offsplin —at least ten thousand lives were annually sacrificed to Juggernaut, and female infanticide every where prevailed. Truly the men who were the pioneers of the missionary enterprise in India were animated by the spirit ot Hiaa who said He came not to destroy men's lives but to save them. The first thing they did was to set themselves to the abolition of these cruel practices; and that man must have read history strangely indeed who did not know that it was mainly due to their efforts and the re- volting repreaentations they made to the Government that human sacrifices had been utterly abolished. So that in answer to the men who said missionaries laboured in vain, he had to point-not to what this or that society had done—bat to what trie Gospel had done for fifty years it had annually saved the lives of tens of thousands of human beings, and,had it accomplished nothing more, that was ample reo ^mpense for all the money that had been expenled. all the labour that had been employed and all the lives which in carrying on the great work had been sasrifioed. Some time before he left India he read in the Pall Mall Gasette-he knew not if that meant the Gazette of Confusion an article, in which the people were told that it was imposs ble to coa- vert the heathen that the whole enterprise was a waste of energy. So persona talked and wrote -persons who knew nothing about the subject-of mis- sionaries who were labouring 14,000 miles away. But taking ooly that view of it-he meant the mere number of con versions--w hat a great work had b-jen accomplished. Take Southern India, for instanoe. At the beginning of this century a few thousands only had been gathered by the apos olic labours of the Danish missionaries. But now, in Tanjore, Travancore, and the plains of Tinevelly, they could point to 120,000 who worshipped the true God. And crossing the Bay of Bengal, to tha eastern part of the Indian E npire, they found that in in Burmah alone there were seven times ten thou- sand who named the name of Christ; and throughout India there were 250,000 Caristians at least. People said missionaries had done nothing but could they speak to an intelligenr, strict, orthodox Hindoo, wh )se life had stretched over sixty years, he would tell a different tale- he would confess with sorrow that Hindooism, tile religion of 3,000 years, was being shattered away before the re sistless might of Cnristianity and the feeling of his heart would be in reference to all that had trauspired- How is the mighty fallen In the large cities of India they were not so greatly blessed, as to the number of conversions, as among the Hill tribes. There the success of the mission was seen rather in the great ohange which had come over the life and character of the people. Caste had greatly opposed them. But while they saw many ludicrous instances of the power of caste, they witnessed m.any affecting and interesting proofs that that mighty power was losing its hold. At the missionary institution at Calcutta, some Brahmins of the highest order were receiving a lesson in Christianity, and the teaoher spoke of the foolish and wrong and wicked caste custom when several of them stood forth, took off their sacred threads (which if a man once took off he lost caste for ever), and said See, sir, we don't believe in these things: we have got past them. Ana with reference to missionaries and their work, and the feeling cherished towards them by some persms in Eng- land, let him tell them as a fact that the English resi- dents of India, who knew the missionaries perfectly and saw the work they carried on, contributed far more libe- rally to missionary purposes than the people in England. His own experience quito accorded with a remark he saw in an address the other day, that of tha L,300,000 ex- pended annually in India for missionary purposes, no less than £ 50,000 were contributed by the small Euro- pean community in India itself. And having stated this fact, let him, in conclusion, tell them what was said of their society by the most influential paper in India-a journal not at all favourable to thrm a reoent article in that paper on the London Missionary Society concluded with these words—" It is a noble institution, and nobly managed." He hoped in this time of anxiety, the people of England would respond, "And this noble institution shall be nobly supported." (Loud applause.) The Rev. T. Mann (of Trowbridge), district secretary of the Society, was the next speaker, and in the course of a highly interesting and instructive address he ob- served that the Protestant Churches annually expended in mission work £ 800,000, while they had ordained and sent forth 1,600 men for the evangelization of the bea- then world. If they added to these 1.4Q0 female mis- sionaries-(the wives of missionaries) they had a total staff of 3,000 Euiopean and American missionaries em- ployed aDd sustained by the Protestant Churches in evan- gelistic work. They had heard encouraging details of the effects of missionary labour, but beside statistical, there were correlative results, which must not be lost sight of. He attributed the emancipation of slaves more to missionary labours than to anything else and the secu- rity which their merchandise enjoyed in going out to the different South Sea Islands should not be forgotten in their estimate of tire fruit of missionary operations in- deed it was undeniable that a wondrous influence had been exerted by the apparently small band ot labourers 8cattere,J over the earth, and which was working, and, like the leaven hidden in the three measures of meal, would work until the whole mass was leavened. As to the numbers converted they sometimes heard people say, if you could how us the results of your work in any- thing like the proportion achieved by Apostolic men, we would sustain you by our hearts, and our hands, and our pockets. But where do you-find your 3,000 converted in a day ? Where do you find the multitude increased to 5,000 in the course of a week among the heathen people ?" Well, they could not find it. But according to a very careful estimate produced at a recent oonfe- the 6^ rence on missions at Liverpool, there was at to the first 60 years of the Christian era, or from the Pentecost, about a million of professing 1 world; and the same gentle man who had searcoe that, and also searched out the numbers that ve*6^0Qg, in hea'.hen lands connected with the mission 8'a, c0n- found that there were one million and a quarter o verts from heathenism, as the result of modern miss'0 efforts; so that they could show in point of that God had owned their work as much as he o^ne work of the Apostles in their day. The rev. speaker Pro, DOI%' ceeded to notice the part taken in the work by the to don Missionary Society. They had heard ho" the in- struggling—that last year they had exceeded come by £ 20,000. But the simple reason was that God had bestowed on thenj so much 8uCll^J and so overwhelmed them with it, that not know what to do with it, The Churches J been piaying that God would open new sphere'^ labour, and he had opened more than they coU'< cupy. But what was the London Missionary doing ? It shmid be remembered that the Soci<)tf been established on Catholic principles—leaving '-he verts to choose their own form of governmeni.- Bilt terian, Episcopalian, Nonconformirt, or what not since then the various Churches bad established theif Society; andnow thesupportof this Society devolve^oD. j, Independent body—scarcely any one else Yet it was a satisfaction to know that this society doing about one-tenth part of the missionary w°r,jjef heathen lands. They sustained one tenth, or '^et more of the labourers contributed one-tenth, or rS J|J more of the money, and could rejoice in fully of the numerical results though nobjdy believed i the Independents formed one tenth part of the Fr°ta9efa« Church throughout the world. After some further t lenca to the Society, and the s:eps which weie taken to bring the iucoaue level with the expen"1^ fat Mr. Mann glanced at the interesting and encourag results of missionary operations, especially in the Sea Islands and in Jamaica, concluding by an peal on behalf of the Society, and resuming hiS ø amid applause. aød The Rev J. Smith thsn addressed the assemb'ft j dwelt upon the impossibility of measuring the moi*' j spiritual results of missionary work by statistical details, and urged the duty of supporting the societies from high religious principles, resting sa'le that God would never forsake the work of His own h»0 (Applause.) tb, On the motion of the Rev. H. Oliver, seconded Py Rev. P. W. Darnton, a resolution was then adopte « the effect that each Congregational Church be 9 to appoint representatives to act as tbe committee for' ensuing year. A collection was made, and a cordial vote of having been passed to tbe Mayor, the doxology wa8 8 a and the meeting was terminated by the Rev. T. IIØ pronouncing the benediction.

On Tuesday morning a public breakfast in oonnfCtt with the annual services of the London Missionary 0 ciety was held in the Dock-street Schoolroom at 010 o'clock. There was a very good attendance-consl et, ably larger than had been anticipated, and further mation respecting missionary work was given by W. Johnson. Addresses were also delivered t>J A- Major, the Rev, Thomas Mann, and the Rev. Abercrombie. The interesting series of services was terminated Tuesday evening, by a united communion service, at the Victoria R ad Chapel.
