lamp. Blood was shed on both sides, and numbers were carried away wounded. What infatnation! And further, we are told that a christian (?) missionary, preaching in the open air, so inveighed against the Talmud, that a Jew threw a dead cat in his face, which caused a general scuffle between the Jews and the christians. And this was done at the holy city, near the holy places, on one of the holy days!

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS.-The wife of a distinguished and wealthy Armenian has paid 600 dollars for a translation of the "Progress" into her native tongue.

RAILWAY CATASTROPHE, The New Haven train which left New York, May 6, at 8 a.m., was plunged into the river at Norwalk, at 10 o'clock, and nearly 50 persons were killed or drowned. The drawbridge had been opened to allow a steam vessel to pass, and the signals were given, but the engineer saw or heeded them not. The engine glided nearly over the chasm, dragging the tender, two baggage cars, and two passenger cars after it down a fall of 20 feet into the river, which, being high water, was then 25 feet deep. One car broke in the middle and the upper part hung suspended over the water. Several had a wonderful escape. A bride, married the previous day, perished, and her husband escaped. Several medical gentlemen, returning from a meeting at New York, were either killed or drowned. An infant was among the saved, but its aunt was drowned.

BRITISH APOLOGISTS FOR AMERICAN SLAVERY. Not only the changing Times, at which no man who knows it wonders, but the clever Economist has, for May 21, ventured a most unprincipled attack on abolitionists, joined with a shameful defence of the "rights" of the slaveholders. But trade is the god the Economist worships. The propagaters of the Gospel, in its estimation, are not to be compared with the agents of commerce. We hear, too, that Dr. Belcher is mightily offended that we have expressed our displeasure at his conduct. We cannot help it. Much as we blame the native advocates of that hateful tyranny, we blame the "Britishers" more.

ENGLISH COINAGE.-£8,749,000. sterling in gold was coined in 1852. This year £520,000. worth was coined in one week. In January last £92,000. worth of silver was coined. Contracts are made for coining copper, as the gold and silver coining fully employ the Mint works.

[We have been asked what was meant by the words "without any assistance," in a report of a marriage in our last, at page 159. Our only reply can be what was said. We printed what we received, and we did so in this case, to check the fuss which some are too disposed to indulge about their weddings. Only the other day we saw a report in one of our leading Journals, which, by the way, would be paid for smartly, that no less than three dignified clergymen were engaged on such an occasion. And this affair did not escape the notice of Punch, who observed, "There must have been some difficulty in the way of getting the young lady off, as so many officials had to be engaged!" If dissenting ministers think they may be thus engaged in doing what they are certainly not commanded to do in the New Testament, we hope they will do so with as little parade as possible.]

April 7, at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, aged 32, Mary, the beloved wife of Mr. James Goadby, and second daughter of Mr. S. Groocock, Leicester. When scarcely fifteen, she united with the General Baptist church, in Dover Street, and continued a consistent and active member there, until her removal to Ashby in 1841, when she was dismissed to the latter place. She was always somewhat delicate, and for more than twenty years was troubled with a cough, left by the measles, in her childhood, and which gradually increased. The last few years of her life she felt conscious that her end was approaching; and as her health failed, her faith strengthened. Her hold on the promises was firm, and she several times

Christ. That beautiful hymn of Doddridge's commencing

"While on the verge of life I stand,"

was an especial favourite with her; she said it just described her feelings. In her little pocket text book she wrote, a day or two before her death :

"No heart upon earth can conceive

The bliss that in heaven they share;
Then who this dark world would not leave
And cheerfully die to be there ?"

Just before her departure her husband asked her if Christ was precious to her? She said, "Yes! precious! precious!" and in a few minutes she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. May our end be like hers!

April 17, Mr. John Windsor, aged 71, fifty years a member and thirteen a deacon of the baptist church, Morice Square, Devonport. Awakened under the preaching of the celebrated Dr. Hawker, of Plymouth, he was afterwards baptized and received into the church in the Square, then under the pastorate of the venerated Isaiah Birt. He loved the Saviour and the doctrines of divine grace, and was a man of the strictest truth and integrity; in short, he was a good man and feared God above many. His attachment to the cause of God, and the house of God, was conspicuous. He met with troubles, but God was with him. He bore suffering patiently, and died in faith and hope. Another valued deacon of this church died in Feb. last, Mr. William Rudd, whose name, and the name of his honoured father, will long be had in affectionate remembrance for their consistent piety and extensive usefulness.

April 19, aged 47, Margaret, wife of Mr. Thomas Lee, a member of the baptist church at Wem, Shropshire. Her afflictions were severe, and upwards of six years in duration, being scarcely ever free from pain. She was never heard to complain; but bore all with christian patience, being upheld by the power of God. The closing scene was brightened by faith and peace. April 25, aged 78, Mr. George Viccars, a worthy and much respected member for many years of the baptist church, Belvoir Street, Leicester.

April 20, at Wendover, Bucks, aged 33, Mrs. Sarah Smith, the beloved wife of Mr. Amos Smith, baptist minister. Her bodily sufferings were severe and protracted. Her christian resignation and patience were exemplary; and her end was not merely peaceful, but triumphant. A bereaved husband and two children mourn their great loss. But their loss, though great and irreparable, is her eternal gain.
