A clergyman, in that State, who is at work for our Board, writes as follows :—":I have made appeals, to a censiderable extent, to brethren and churches in Our State, for the soldiers. • Still, the great armies of the whole country seem to be fast collecting in this State. The soldiers really clamor and beg for religious reading, and ought, with out delay and folly, to be supplied. Ought not our Board, as a matter of duty, as a matter of privilege, to do, its share ? Em barrassed by civil war throughout our bor ders, with these immense, armies dividing and covering the State, our own citizens cannot possibly do as much here in this work as ought to be done. Then, again, the great body of the soldiers here are from other parts of the country, and ..Christian sympathies can be .there most naturally awakened for them. I could do almost any amount of work among these men, with but little cost. What shall I do? How lunch ? How can the Presbyterians and others in the regions whence these soldiers come, be reached, and induced to .do their share in this great and neediest of. all the Christian works now set before us je the whole world?" " We are in daily expectation of great battles here. What we do we must do quickly." OUn FUNDS 2Brkg,USTED These are only specimens. of the appeals, of whieh, as has been said, dozens are now coming to us from every part of the land. But what is the Board to do ? It is now, and has for months past, been making do nations i of- books , and tracts in amounts greatly exceeding its receipts: Nearly two millions of pages of tracts, and many thou sands of volumes, have been given away. One, hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and sailors, at least, have received gratui tous religious reading from the Board. Its reactirces are nearly exhausted. Mast it cease' from this p.med work ? .We now send forth this earnest entreaty to our churches, large and small, and to the, patriotic and Christian men and women in those chnithes, and beg them to come to oar help. Oh! compel us not to say to these soldiers ,and sailors, to these officers and chaplains, " Oar means are en tirely exhausted; we can give'you no more books and tracts."

LORD MAYOR'S DAY, the 9th of Novem ber, is emphatically an institution of' the city proper, stamped with the - seal , of cen turies, and in , spite of its intrinsic gew-gaw character and the loss of a whole day to business men, occasioned• ~by its Annual re currence, is alike' historic and suggestive, in connexion with the growth of popular liberty, and the curbing of the power of kin g s. This year the day had two special and novel characteristics; .the first being the presence in . ,theprocession,of,a guard of honor to the Chief Magistrate—not, as in past times of a troop of ' the Horse Guards from Whitehall, but two powerful bodies of city volunteers. One of thesels composed of young men of business; the other, • of working men; both in an admi rable state of discipline. 'Along . with theta were mustered those embryo soldiers, the " cadets "—fine = boys, or little men, from fourteen to sixteen years of age, who are dressed precisely as are the volunteers. themselves, and who elect their own officers as well I As the lamb in due time becomes the sheep, so in contrast' to this meek' de velopment, the volunteer cadet becomes the volunteer soldier, and thus afresh supply is secured ,to that band which stands• ready to repel, any rude invader. Lord Palmer ston, in his speech at Guildhall, could not help saying a word in this sense with re gard to the volunteers; but the rest of hi's words, like thoseuf the: American Ambas sador, were singularly free from warlike alhisions, and full of enlogiums on the blessings of peace and good will. Never theless there was an underlying conicious _nese, as it were, in the, breasts of those'who spake and those who listened. The Amer ican Ambassador ignored, as far as silence could do, the existende of civil' war 'at - Hme, and spoke admiringly of our . Queen, 4liss, Nightingale—our poets and philan thropists, as being regarded by Americans as their property as well as ours. And right well did he discourse on the honesty and truthfulness which ought to charac terize diplomatists. But after all, neither he nor the crowd at the splendid Guildhall banquet, could forget that blood was flow ing, that a black cloud lay upon the future, that Lyons had been 'writing Seward; and Seward had been smartly replying to Lyons, , that diplomatists were not, usually candid, And that as for Europe, Louis Napoleon was still the arbiter on whose fiat—per haps ominously muttered forth on New Year's day—depended , :the , fate of Italian liberty, and the great-question of a general European 'conflagration. The second peculiar feature of this pearls .Lord Mayor's day, ,was found in the :.fact, that the, Chief Magistrate tvho rode so grandly in that richly gilded coach with all his glittering train, and who went- fiat to , Westminsterllall ,to be'sworn inhy-the Chief Baron,, (after a.fiattering genealogieaa and biographical portrait, drawn, by,_., the learned Recorder of the City,) and then came hack in the afternoon to in.eside' at -the feast...As rare peculiarity, I say; of the Alay was, that Alderman ,Cabitt , ,was Lord Mayor a, second lime. Thefact-was, •that his wealth enabled him, to meet the., pensesex better. than Most Aldermen, (and these are at the - leaat,',' in ordinary, years, ,ZIO,OOO each year;)' which 'must inevitably be, incurred next year—the ainus.mirabflis .of the Great Exhibition—mhen strangers ,of high degree will be in ourmidst, and the Mansion House, with its noble Egyp- Iran Hall, will become a hariquetinglouse for the elite of all nations. . .But let us , mingle with the crowds that Jiue,,the streets on -Lord Mayor's day. The rand procession = with the • men in armor, banners and bande, Volunteers 'and city Companies, the Lord Mayor and Sheriff's 'carriages, with all the Aldermen in. succeasion,--passes about, noon'. down gh e p ; p B io n , ;.l .which to-day,. is sanded ,and ,ravelled,. t c he a usual ,tipsiness traffic being of course:fOrbidden ,and sUspended. __Each - side numbers"of'ali`ages, and the windovis ciflahops -and warehouses ':are filled with;ladies: and; their children-4 the , latter in great ,delight , with the "Show." As . soon, as the Lord Mayor's Carriage . and its train have passed by a`l:fondon • reab of '"roughsu—thin., wiry young fellows---flock into the • middle of , the, ,, stNo , ,e,, and . amuse ; themselves:, by ", 4 :boimeting," one another t ,notsparing the hat of the - honest "rils"tic,,orYeach-cheeked farmer'frden. &Sex.' pr'Kent µ - f Let us +keep :clear of- these '" roughsf? , and :aver ; the,3.4oxd , Mayo - 411as get.as far, as Audi. gahe Hill,, step faiderito r vkat a is, called St. .

' I'm here onlae count of a wager between two ,gentlemcn, as to the possibility , of selling one hundred gold rings in St. Paul's Church yard in the, nineteenth century." The rings (of 'gilt brass or, copper) are then displayed and quickly sold for a penny a piece. But who comes next? A man who. mounts a blacking box (which he curries with liiinyin order to Mike himself con ,spicuouS, and who-holds forth after 'this fashion, speaking with the usual' volubility, of the street. salesmen : " Gentlemen, you are surrounded, by impostors ; ; y fellows (a hit at the Preirious salesman,)" who pre-, tend:to sell ever se many thingi for a'wat" ger; I have come here to-day, for the , pit'r; ,pose •of .rovvarding the public,- by ;giving away,: some spare, money::: Now,`then„. gen- , tlemen-speculators 1 who'll give me two`kmd 4 four pence for half a Crown."

State. Such bitterness and bigotry are quite in keeping with the mission of this Papal Le.; gate, namely, to arrest the ,progrdss of lib , eral ideas ; and to: dissever Reinert Calm- , lies from. all association _with, Protestants. Thus also we account for the coarse attack made on Lord Brougham on account :of certain statements by no means sectarian, madehy him= at the Social Science Con gress in Dublin ' some months ago. The Chief Secretary is at present in. Connaught, closely investigating the social • Condition of the people, and es'peCially as certaining how far there is ground for the cry of approaching . " famine,"-Which some times is raised, by Popish priests, without good reason, and who, as a ,class ; disgraced themselves by their abuse of public money, in - the famine of 184647. Thee is no doubt that the crops of the poor'peOple iiu nineteen regions have been well nigh de , ' stroyed by the rains, and from the -same; cause the, peat or " turf," is not found in. the Irish cabin. I am . sure if public} as sistanee is needed, it will be accorded-l-, rather that voluntary subserititions will.be' forthcoming from England, if the alleged' distress is,proven to:1),e a reality. .

'There was no prayer for the help of another; but it is. said, ",I ; will, be thou clean.'!

Then, as I could nothelp listening, there was a peon- . liarity of service which Mystified me. At last asked, One day, if I might remain.

He ,714 a minister of the Gospel for seventy-one years, and an active pastor for fifty-four years oithat period. Being once asked what he considered the 'secret of popular preaching he replied: ..To preach without meddliny with your 'hearers' consciences; and with animation. enough to produce a great excitement of the natural sympathies' which will .make per sona feel that they have some native good neas ;...and let your sermons be without be- , ginning, middle or end." Again he says:."lf you desire to be popular, do not eF . r . litin your terms. Preach about totaf.lapPralsity r regetoration, &c., and leave yoni b arers tcriinderStand your lan guage -in their own sense, which they will all approve.
