LLANGEFNI. I FOREIGN MISSIONS. I A highly edifying and interesting lecture was deliver- ed on the above subject at Ebenezer Chapel, on Tues- day evening, the 12th instant, by the Rev. T. Evans, of Delhi. The Rev. James Donne was unanimously elect ed president over the meeting. Mr. Evans is a missionary in the Baptist denomina- tion, and laboured in that capacity for upwards of nine years in different parts of India, and is now on a visit to his native country. Mr. Evans is highly popular as a lecturer, and that, undoubtedly, most deservedly; and in his route through the Island, draws crowds after bim. When here on Tuesday last, the large edifice was crowded to overflow- ing. The rev. lecturer treated his subject with great skill and power, and the numerous audience was capti- vated by the fascination of his eloquence. He enume- rated at some length on the four different castes of the Hindoos; and it may be interesting to notice the origin, as explained by Mr. Evans, of this strange distinction among various classes of men. He gave a detailed de- scription of this point. By a species of emanation or successive education from the substance of his own bo- dy, Bramah gave origin to the human race, consisting originally of four distinct genera, classes, or castes. From his mouth, first of all, proceeded the Bramah caste; so designated after the name of the great proge- nitor, as being the highest and noblest in the scale of earthly existence—the nearest in kindred and in likeness to Bramah himself—his visible representatives in human form. At the same time, there flowed from his mouth, in finished and substantial form, the four Vedas, for the instruction of mankind in ALL needful knowledge. Ut these the Bramahs were constituted the sole deposita- ries, the sole interpreters, the sole teachers. To all the rest of their fellow-creatures they were to give out such portions and fragments, and in such manner and mode, as they might deem most expedient. Hence their ema- nation from the mouth of Bramah became an emblem of their future characteristic function, or office, as the sole divinely appointed preceptors of the human race. From Bramah's arm, the protecting member of the body, next emanated the Kshattrya, or military caste, the source of emanation being emblematic of their future ofifce, which is, to wield martial weapons for the defence of the rest of their fellow-creatures from internal violence and ex- ternal aggression. From Bramah's breast, the seat of life, originated the Vaishya, a caste of productive capi- talists, whether pastoral, agricultural, or mercantile the source of their origination being emblematical of their future function, which is to raise or provide for themselves and the rest all the necessaries, comforts, and luxuries which serve to support and exhilarate human life. From Bramah's foot, the member of inferiority and degradation, sprung the Shudra, or servile caste, placed on the base of society; the source of their pro- duction also being emblematic of their future calling, which is to perform for the other castes all manner of menial duties. Mr. Evans further stated that the Hindoos look upon the Christians, or the white men, as a class of beings be- longing to no caste—beneath the lowest depth, a lower still-a class composed of outcasts—the residuum of the refuse and offscourings of all-held in the utmost detes- tation and abhorrence. According to this rigid and unmodified account of the origin of man, it must appear tha; caste is not a civil but a sacred institution- not an ordinance of human but divine appointment—not of arbitrary human will, but of eternal decree and necessity of nature. Hence all the solemnity and religious observance paid to all these rigid castes, and also their bitter and utter abhor- rence and aversion of all Christians. But Mr. Evans felt happy to observe that this gigantic system of error, however, is daily losing ground in In- dia. Its power over the mind of the natives is evidently becoming weaker; and the symptoms of decay are obvi- ous. Their dominion has passed away their annual sacrifices have been abolished by authority; and the be- nevolence of England now rules in their land. A voice calls them to return, and will call louder and louder, till they have .for ever forsaken the mountains of error and destruction. The page of true inspiration is begin- ning to open to their view, and they may read, not in an obsolete and dead language, but in their own living tongues, the wonderful works of God, The gift is pre- sented to all, without distinction, and by those who are the ministers, and not the lords, of the people. Truth- ful science, delighting to call herself the handmaid of religion, is displaying prostitute "philosophy," falsely so called. Veritable history, recording the ways of God to man, engages the attention of those who have been perplexed by "endless genealogies." The light of the Sun of Righteousness begins to dawn on the eastern ho- rizon, and it will continue to grow till the perfect day." The Gods that have not made these heavens and this earth shall perish, ani Jehovah shall be acknow- ledged to be the Most High. Enlightened devotion will be substituted for formal and frivolous ceremony. The drink-offerings and oblations of blood will cease and in the Cross of Christ will be seen the great and only atonement. The muddy waves of the Ganges will be forsaken for that Fountain which baa been opened for lin and uncleanliness. The shouts of those who are mad on their idols will grow faint, and there will be heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying-Alleluia, for the Lord God Omnipotent reign- eth. Mr. Evans referred to the continuous and almost un- surmouutable obstacles laid in the way of the Gospel by the East India Company, that they for ages prohibited such a smuggled article as a missionary to sail in any of their vessels, and even sternly objected to a missionary landing on. any of their settlements; and that the first missionary to India was only allowed to land in Seram- pore, then a Danish possession, a brave nation now (fighting gallantly and daringly against an overwhelming foe. Here the audience gave continuous and enthusiastic cheers for the Danes. After the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting terminated, all leaving highly pleased and edi. fied. Mr. Evans exhibited to the audience many Hindoo images.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. I On Friday the Count and Countess de Paris ar- rived at Windsor, and dined with her Majesty the Belgian minister, and Madame Van de Meyer also joined the royal party. On Saturday her Majesty held a Council, at which Earl Granville, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and Sir George Grey, were present. On Sunday afternoon the Prince and Princess of Wales arrived at the Castle, and remained with the Queen till Monday, when her Majesty, the PrimeMes Helena, Louise, and Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, left the Castle for Osborne. The royal party embarked at Gos- port, and reached the Isle of Wight at 7 p.m. At the same time that the Queen departed for Os- borne the Prince and Princess of Wales left for Marlborough House. The great Annual Prize Shooting opened at Wimbledon on Monday, and the meeting will continue till Saturday, the 23rd, when it will be closed with a review. It promises to be the most successful meeting yet held. The Prince of Wales visited the Common on Monday, and made seve- ral good shots at the Running Deer." On Thursday week a meeting was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the condition of the Circa; si ms who have left their country for Turkey, and whom, the Russians say, they have expelled because they would not apply themselves to habits of industry, persisting in their habits of brigandage and robbery, but who, ac- cording to general report, have been driven from their homes because they sought to establish the independence of their country. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe was in the chair,'and resolutions were moved and seconded by Lord Houghton, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Mr. E. Beale, Mr. S. Morley, and Mr. J. Richardson. An appeal to the people of England to contribute to the relief of the exiles was agreed to and most of the speakers strongly denounced the conduct of Russia. On Thursday week, about 2 o'clock, a fire was discovered in the ancient historical church of "the Savoy," in the Strand, and it was not extinguished till the interior was almost entirely destroyed, little being left except the four walls. The premi- ses of several tradesmen adjoining were also injur- ed. as was the Office of the Press newspaper. The Chapel was insured for 24,000. On Saturday the Queen announced that she would defray the expenses of its restoration. Two outrages have been committed recently in railway carriages. On Wednesday week a young lady, when travelling between Sarbiton and Wok- ing, was indecently asaulted by a fellow, who was the only passenger in the same carriage. To es- cape him she opened the door and got out upon the step, and, in all probability, would have perish- ed, had not a passenger in the next carriage seen her. With difficulty he drew her near to him, and got his arm around her, when she instantly fainted away. Some labourers saw her hanging, as it, were, outside the door, gave the alarm, the train was stopped, and she was got safely into the car- riage. The other outrage was much more senous. A gentleman, Mr. Briggs, a clerk in the establish- ment of Robarts & Co., bankers, London, took the train at Fenchurch Street, to go to Hackney, where he lived, about 20 minutes to 10 on Saturday evening. At Hackney some gentlemen were getting into one of the compartments, when they found the seat and floor covered with blood. In the compartment was found a hat, a small bag, and a stick. About the same time two of the rail- way servants found the body of Mr. Briggs, dread- fully mutilated, on the road not far from Hack- ney. His papers, and a purse with 24 10s. in it, were found on his person, but his gold watch and chain, gold-mounted eye glasses, and diamond ring, were gone. Government, and Messrs. Ro- barts and Co., both offer ZCIOO for the apprehen- sion of the murderer and as the watch chain has been discovered at a pawnbroker's, where it was sold, and the name of the person from whom it was purchased is in the hat, it is hoped that the ruffians will fall into the hands of justice. It was reported at Copenhagen, on the 6th inst., that General Gerlach would resign the com- mand-in-chief, and that General Steinmami would be his successor. That day an address to the King was adopted, in the Rigsraad, thanking his Majesty for his determination to cede terri- tory rather than sacrifice the independence of the country, and promising his Majesty all the support in the power of that body to give. This was followed, on the 7th, by the resignation, at the request of the King, of the whole of the Dan- ish Ministry. On the 8th the King deputed Count Charles Moltke-Nutchau, who belongs to the I l" __1_- strongest re-actionary party, ana was rorineriy a member of the Bluhme nlinistry,-to re-con- struct the cabinet; and on the 10th, it was an- nounced that it had been constituted; M. de Bluhme being President and Minister for Foreign Affairs Count Moltke-Nutchau and M. de Quade are ministers, without portfolios. This change is supposed to be connected with Prince John's mission to Prussia rtlative to which there are various rumours probably none of them cor- rect. The Prussians have been erecting batteries op- posite the Isle of Funen and intelligence was re- ceived at the close of last week, that the Austrian Rifles had taken possession of theFohr. At Ran- ders, the Prussians, on the 7th, arrested a clergy- man, a newspaper editor, and a rabbi, and placed them in a fortress in retaliation for the arrests of Schleswigers in the island of Sylt, by the Danes. -On the 10th inst., the Prussian troops crossed the Lijmfiord, near Aalborg, and the advance into North Jutland was begun. We should think, England, France, and Rus- sia, cannot look quietly on, to see Denmark ab- sorbed by Prussia.—M. Drouyn de l'Huys, in a circular to the French diplomatique agents, on the result of the late Conference, expresses a hope, that nothing may occur to require that France should depart from her peaceful attitude. Surely the dismemberment of Denmark would be a suffi- cient occasion for interference. On the 7th inst., it was resolved, in the Frank- fort Diet, on the motion of the Schleswig-Hol- stein Committse, to call upon the Government of Oldenburgh to substantiate the Grand Duke's claims to the Duchies as speedily as possible. As both the Committee and the Diet are opposed to those claims, the reason for this step is supposed to be, that they may soon have an opportunity of pronouncing them invalid. The last davs of th ) veteran King Leopold's reign seems to be doomed to unpleasant complica- tions It is only a few weeks since a ministerial crisis, which lasted several months, was adjusted and now we are told, that t'le progress of parlia- mentary government is entirely suspended in Bel- gium." The Roman Catholic and Libertl party are in direct hostility and the members of the former will not attend the Chamber. If all the Liberals were to attend, they would just constitute a quorum, but as one is counnea, oy imiess, no house can be constituted and no business can be transacted. As announced, the Emperor of the French left Fontainebleau for Vichy on the 7th inst. He goes from Vichy to the camp at Chalons then to Biarritz and from Biarritz to Compiegne, for the shooting season. Thus, his movements appear to be settled to the close of autumn and the peace-mongers say this is a good augury. His Majesty left Vichy earlier, by some days, than was at first intended,—as he had been suffer- ing from one or two complaints, which his physi- cians said must not be neglected. Qn the 5th, intelligence was received at Turin, to the effect, that the police at Venice in searching for the correspondence of the Venetian Commit- tee, have arrested in that city, the advocates, Fustanelli and Tonoli; an engineer, Ramaners; and one Maiinoui, described as a functionary." It is believed they will be tried by a military tri- bunal. A letter from Rome, dated early in the month, says, Pope continues to give evident proofs of his renewed health." The writer adds, that he waq- I about to seek the benefit of a little coun- try air," and would soon leave Rome for his villeggiatufiil. The intelligence from Greece is unsatisfactory. At Corfu, the elections were likely to produce riots between the country and townspeople caused, it is reported, by 17 condidates from rural districts being chosen, and only one candidate from the towil s. Five frigates will leave Cadiz this month, for the Pacific, to act against Peru. In St. Domingo the chief command was taken from General San- tana, who was to proceed to Havannab, and there await the orders of the Spanish Government.— It is stated, at Madrid, that the King will go to France in August, and pay a visit to the Empress of the French and that the Queen will go'to the sea-baths of Cantabrique. In Portugal, active preparations are making for the general elections.—A committee, according to intelligence of the 7th inst., is sitting at Lisbon, to considerthe question of Custom House Reform. The railway to Oporto, [we learn from the same source] is opened for traffic, but the formal inau- guration will not take place at present. Accounts from Constantinople, of the 7th inst., inform us that the Porte was negotiating with the Brothers Hope, of Amsterdam, a loan for one million sterling. It was stated at that time in Constantinople, that the troubles with the Arabs, in the province of Bagdad, had been set- tled and that the works in connection with the overland portion of the Indian telegraph, had, in consequence, been resumed. The news continues favourable from Algeria. A telegram, from Algiers, dated July 5, states, that General Rose had met 500 deputies, from the in- surgent tribes, on their way to make offers of submission.—The journals of that city state, that tee chiefs of the revolt will be transported to Senegal, and the insurgent tribes disarmed.—At Tunis, every thing was unsettled at the com- mencement of the mouth the Maltese and Is- raelite portion of the population were leaving and 1200 fugitives had arrived at Malta. On Friday night, the Scotia arrived from New York, with intelligence to the morning of the 29th of June which is, on the whole unfavoura ble to the Federals. -Grant had been compelled by his heavy losses on the 23rd uJt.,—when, in addition to numbers killed and wounded, one en- tire brigade, many other prisoners, and 5 cannon were captured,—to abandon his advance on the Weldon railroad, and return to Petersburg, where his and Butler's armies were suffering from the want of water, and the intense heat.—The Con- federates had attacked the weaker portions of the Federal lines, but had been repulsed. On the 24th, Sheridan commenced crossing from the White House, to the south side of the James River. He was attacked by the Confede- rates, whom he beat back, but lost 1000 men. On the 27th, a portion of his troops were still north of the river. Johnson was heavily reinforcing Lee, according to Southern accounts but the Northerns say that the movement is improbable, as all the rail- roads leading to Richmond have been destroyed. Nevertheless, the New York Herald, from what has already taken place, deems the capture of Richmond this summer as improbable.—Hunter claims complete success in theexpedili out) Lynch- burg, and savs he iuflicted great injury on the nemv; but he had retreated, in consequence, it is atftted, of a want of ammurutioll and supplies. The southern papers say, he lost 13 guns the Confederates were, on the 25th ult, pursuing him. In Georgia, on the 27th ult, two oolumns of Sherman's army, under Generals Macpherson and Thomas, attacked the Confederates at Kneesaw Mountain. They were repulsed, and Sherman admits a loss of 2500 men the Confederates say it was nearly double. The Confederate General Pillow, was operating in Sherman's rear, and had taken the town of Lafayette. When the Scotia left, there was great excitement at New York, and gold had risen from 148 to 150 prem.—A telegram received at Liverpool on Tuesday, announced that Mr. Chase, the Secre- tary of the Treasury, had resigned. Letters from Montreal, of the 24th ult., irl. form us, that there had been another political crisis in Canada, and that two formerly bitter op- ponents, Mr. George Brown and M. Cartier, have united to form a Government; the former re- presenting Upper, the latter, Lower Canada. The great strife between those two provinces has been religion,—the Roman Catholic interest pre- vailing in the Lower, the Protestant in the Upper Province. In the Legislature, both provinces have an equal number of representatives, though Upper Canada has an excess of population over the Lower, of 400,000, and demands an increase of representatives in consequence, which it has never been able to obtain. It is now proposed to adopt the Federal system, as in the United States, i.e.,—a separate government in each pro- vince for local, —and a general one for those pur- poses which concern the whole an endeavour will, it is said, be made, to unite the whole of British North America in one Federation. De- legates are coming to Hiiigland on the subject. It was stated at New York, 011 the 29th ult., that an emigrant train on the Grand Trunk Rail- way, bad run off the Beleeil Bridge, near St. Hilaire, that morning; 34 dead, and 350 wounded had been taken from the wreck and another car had still to be examined. The Bombay Mail brings papers from that city to June 8, and from Calcutta to May 31.—The head-quarters of the Bombay Government was at Mahableshwur the Governor-General re- mained at Simla.—A brigade has been formed to watch and deal with the peoples and tribes on the eastern frontier.—With respect to Bhootan, the Ambarree Fallacootah, a track of laud at the foot of the Bhootan hills, is to be annexed to British India the subsidy of 10,000 rupees paid to the Bhootiahs on the frontier of Arram is to be discontinued and the country is to be hem- med in, to prevent supplies reaching it from Bri- tish India. These measures, it was thought, would soon humble the Bhootiahs. The civil war in Affghanistan continued to the advantage of the Ameer. It was stated, at Paris, that the Emperor and Empress of Mexico entered their capital on the 12tli of June. There were reports that no symp- toms of popular approval had marked their pro- gress and that the Empress shed tears at the coldness of the people. The Memorial Diplomatique however, asserts, that the tears shed were "tears of joy," caused by the enthusiastic reception given her beloved husband. Detailed accounts, since published, confirm the Memorial, that is, if they are correct. From those accounts, it would appear, that the joyous enthusiasm of the people, both in the provinces and the capital could not be exceeded.

FROM OUR PUIVATE CORRESPONDENT. LONDON, THURSDAY EYENIG. The season in the Great Metropolis," is very nearly over. The evening parties are lees numerous; some families have already left towu the Ministerial white- bait dinner will take place on Saturday the 23rd inst., and by the 28th inat., it is expected that the business before Parliament will be disposed of, and the two houses may be prorogued. If so, it will be a shorter ses- sion than has been recently known. Last evening, the Prince and Princess of Wales at- tended a soiree and entertainment at the Royal Horticul- tural Society's Gardens. Their Royal Highnesses ar- rived at five minutes to 11 o'clock, and were received by the assembled Fellows and their ladies, in great num- bers. They returned home about 12 o'clock; and this morning have gone to Windsor, where the Prince will present the prizes at the annual meeting and exhibition of the late Prince Consort's Windsor Association. A flower show and an exhibition of cottage handicraft, are amongst the attractions. Letters between Sir G. Grey, and A. Murray, Esq. Secretary to the Royal Horticultural Society, appear in this morning's papers, from which we learn, that the 26th of August, the birth-day of the late Prince Con- sort, is, at her Majesty's request, in future to be ob- served as a holiday, and the publio are to be admitted to the Gardens, on that day, without payment. The ministers appear to think they have obtained a fresh hold of their seats but the Premier feels that the unpopularity of Earl Russell is a great drawback to him, and it renders him very irritable. On Tuesday evening, he spoke in the most uncourteous tones to Mr. Bright and Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald to the latter h. was most positively rude. The following calculations have been made as to the number of Conservatives in the House:— Voted on Friday 295 Tellers 2 297 Deduct 16 Irish Liberals. 281 Add 9 who paired. 8 who voted with Gcverement. 9 absent from illness 4 absent without cause. 1 Beat vacant. 312 This leaves a majority to the Liberals of about 32 votes. At the next election, therefore, a gain of 20, will give the opposition a working majority." There is news this morning from the North, the East, and the West. From the North, we learn that the Prussian troops crossed the Lymfiord on the I lth, and on the next day removed their head-quarters to Attrup- gaard.— Despatches have, however, been forwarded from Copenhagen to Berlin and Vienna, containing proposa's for a suspension of hostilities. A Danish vessel, bear- ing a flag of truce, and conveying the messengers, ar- rived at Swinemund, yesterday. From Christianna, under date of the 12th inst., we learn that the army intended for active service has been disembodied; and one portion of the fleet is re-called. This looks as if Denmark had nothing to expect from that quarter. On Tuesday, King Christian sent a message to the Rigsraad, relative to the change of Ministry. He decid- ed, his Majesty said, on that change, because he deemed that men unconnected with the late events would be better able to save the Fatherland. He and his Minis- ters hoped to obtain the confidence of the Rigsraad, and the people, without which they would be powerless. It was impossible, at present, to lay down a programme but the new Ministers took their stand firmly on legal ground, and would never advise the King to do an illegal act. King Leopold has, by a decree issued yesterday, closed the session of his legislature, in consequence of the sus- pension of business in the Lower Chamber, by the re- fusal of the Roman Catholics to attend and it is expect- ed that he will dissolve the Chamber. There is no intelligence of importance from France this morning, except the details of a sad accident on the Saone. On Sunday, a steam-vessel was passing up that river, crowded with passengers. A rush made by them to one side, caused a lurch, by which many were thrown into the water, and 40, it is believed, drowned. From Home, we learn, that some Polish priests who bad contrived to cross the frontiers of Poland, and reach that city, had been kindly received by the Pope, to whom they presented an addreas.
