Of Bibles and Testaments, things which I am sure that 1 neither envy or covet, is the heart a* this society issued during last year, 429,092 copies, being an in- that man, whose, soul does not sympathize with this movement, and crease over the previous year of 114,510 copies. Since the society's organization, it has issued moro than 4,000,000 copies of Bibles and Testaments. To my own mind there is no more pleasing prospect than the existence and active efforts of these great institutions on both sides the Atlantic—ull cooperating to multiply and distribute copies of tho sacrsd scriptures, thereby, scattering the seed of everlasting life beside all waters From such facts and statistics as have been presented, the conclusion is undeniable, that copies of theBible have been more rapidly multiplied during the present century than during any former period in the world's history. 11. The second point which I proposed to prove and illustrate, was, that the causo of this rapid multiplication has been the development of a purely christian principle—the principle of benevo- whose hand is not open to promote this great, this noble, this blessed work—this work which is now eitfiliating the word of God without note or comment, the very words of the spirit's inspiration without addition, without diminution, without explanation or interpretation—the pure, life-giving stream of God's own truth, flowing from Ihe fountain and going out to the world to give health and salvation to the diseased and perishing; why, my bearers, if there can be found one throughout the wide domain of Christendom, who does not approve and love this woik, let him no longer cull himself a man, much less a christian. The benevolent principle has now been awakened in the bosom of the christian church, and is now increasing in power. It is giving to Bible societies the strength and rigor of manhood. As the heart of the christian church beats strong, it sends the life blood lence. of the gospel to the remotest extremities of the human race. In Previous to the present century, the multiplication of copies of jspeaking of ihe christian church, 1 refer lo no particular sect or the sacred scriptures was principally conducted as a money-making jdenomination of christians for with the exception of the catholic undertaking. Book-publishers issued successive editions of the church, I cannot mention a single denomination, bearing or assumBible just as Ihey did other books. When the public seemed to ing the christian name, which does not heartily approve of the Bible call for an edition, it was issued upon tho same principle that an enterprise. Far be the day when the spiri: ol true benevolence editiou of Virgil, Homer, or Cicero was sent forth. Ido not mean shall become extinct or takes its flight, und the publication of the to say that such was universally true, yet that was generally the Holy Bible be again left to the money making promptings ofselfishfact, previous to the formation of those benevolent societies, to ness.

The third point proposed was, that the most happy results "to encourage a wider circulation of the Holy Scriptures." Methinks, I can now hear an official agent if that society, when in its have attended this rapid multiplication; concluding with a brief infancy, address a British audience; " A society has recently been statement of my labors in the way of Biblo distribution during the organized in London, tho metropolis of our country, which is called past year. the 'British and Foreign Bible Society.' It is the simple aim of this I am quite at a loss where to commence enumerating the happy society to promote at homo and abroad, a wider circulation of the results of the increase of I'.ihles.

After explaining the origin and operations of the where fifty years ago, a Bible would not be purchased in Ihe booksociety, he concludes, making his appeal to the benevolence and stores of Paris, but where last year, there was sold 136,000 copies christian feelings of his audience will you aid in sustaining this to Roman Catholics?

Without speaking of the happy effects and glorious rapid multiplication of copies of the Holy Bible, I do not refer to results of Bible multiplication in the aggregate, I would introduce that blind feeling that would scatter abroad the Bible, giving it the following incident illustrative of this statement.

Whale ships from Kamechatka and the North West asl hare just begun lo arrive, but reports of success are not the most favorable. It is probably as yet too early to judge of success, inasmuch as nearly all the arrivals have been occasioned by disasters, which have compelled the ships to Wave the cruising ground. Our paper of to-day will contain a full report of all the intelligence which has been received up to the present date, hence we shall republish a few items which have appeared in former numbers. In publishing this intelligence, it is necessary to report the entire loss of three ships, viz. the Kouolmssett of Sag Harbor, on Pell's Island ; the Baltic ofFuidiaven on Bheenng's Island, and the Columbia of Now London, on an island of the Kings Mill group,—together with an account of these wrecks, we have also to record the dcuth of several officers and other items of misfortune. We much rejoice that no Uvea were lost when tin- above mentioned vessels were wrecked, which is almost an unheard ofprovidence. How seldom do shipwrecks occur when no lives are lost I The fact that three have now occurred and not a single individual perished, most certainly should call f"rth our sincere and devout thanksgiving to the wise care and superintending goodness of divine Providence.
