The report of the Secretal was as follows :
"SMce your last annual meeting, the Board

considerable amount of funds to the Parent
Society. For more definite information on
this point- we refer you to the report of the
Treasurer. You will thus 108 the Board . has '
not been wholly idle. Some little good we
hope has been done ; although we have great !
Icause to lament our shortcomings. When we
realise the facts—that the Bible is the pro
duct
of Infinite Wisdom--a copy of God's
racious heart to as, his erring children— i
that it unfolds the only plan of, the sinner's
salvation and if God', providential govern-
meat—that it is sealed by the blood of his
own dear Son, and that it has been, and will
continbeto be the means of salvation to mil- !
lions of the human family—should we not all I
be stimulated to a greater degree if teal for,
and activity and diligence in the distribution
of that precious Book 2. M. R." r

Arrival of the Steamvhip Niagara
HALITAX, April 3.—The Royal mail steam
ship Niagara, from Liverpool, via Queenstown
on the 234 ult., arrived at this pore this. even

The steamship Ea tna, from New Yurk;had
arrived at Liverpool.
Gator Beira's—The proceedings of the
. Parliament, on the 20th, were unimportant.
I In the House of Commune, on the 20th,
Mr. Baxter opposed the expenditure for fur
-1 1M:4.60ne in the colonies, except at great na
val stations.
Sir G. C. Semis thought the defences of
the colonies was partly a colonial, and partly
a military question. At the - present moment,
there were two great nations, which bad shb
ject to their rule as large a portion of the globe
on they could govern, viz: Great Britain
and the United Slates. America had adopted
the principle of centralization. England
took a different course. It was assumed that
England received great benefit from her colo
nies, and if that was theca.) she was bojnd
to protect them. He thought it impossible to
dawn any general rule, and urged tho House
to be very cautious after further debate.
Baxter withdrew his proposition.
The Loudon Times, in another editorial on
Mr. Lincoln's emancipation message, says it
can hardly be looked upon as - soy thing more
than an invitation to discuss the subject in
Congrese. It is clear that if slavery is to
cease even in the Border States, tho change
mast be accomplised by other ..means than
those at which he points, which means, it is
certain, are totally inapplicable to the whole
The Time, learns that the proposed utuphia
of compromise will be difficult of aecoae , nor
does it believe that it will shako the resolu
tion of the Senate. As a proposition, how
ever' cessation
of
may possibly lead to the
of the frightful conflict.
The Times thinks it worthy of discussion.
The President truly says that the expenses of
the war would buy up the slaves in any
given State. If this has any it is,
that the money now devoted to keeping up the
armies of the North, might be more advanta
geously devoted to the extinction of slavery
in those regions which are inconteetibly in its
power. If they are content to keep the slave
States which have not seceded and to try the
plan of emancipation and compensation on
them, they may, if really in earnest, after a
time, accomplish a great work, but with the
expenditure of two millions a day, and with
nothing hut shinplasters for money, the plan
of attacking the war-crying slave owners by
compromise, must follow the fate of other at
tempts at compromise. The Daily News
think, the proposition fair, moderate and
magnanimous. It says the scheme at least
affords a good basis for a comprehensive, prao
ticablo and amicable debate. Only the pub
lic, by whom it has to be discussed, is scarcely
capable of the order needed for real delibera
