On Sunday lat, he preached his first sermon to his townsmen since his return. It wms in the same place where thirty-three ears ago lie stood up and preached to a congregation, almost all ot whom have pasej away, but come of the jouth and middle aged of that aiwembly, constituted the aged of this. Although it was in the same place, it was not in the same must that he stood before this new congregation. That ancient structure had been taken down and a new one erected. This, too, had been removed to make room for a lar ger house. The thiid house had been de- Biroyed by fire, and a fourth, the pulpit of which he now occupied, bid been erected in iU place. As it became genera.l v known that Dr. Poor was to officiate, a congregs. tion larger than usual assembled and listen, ed throughout to the exercises, with marked attention and interest. Alter the invoca tion, he read a part of the 107th Psalm. This was followed by singin;; with line effect, that beautiful hymn by Addison. "Whea all thy iurcii, O, my God," ice. lie now requested the congregation to join him in his thank-offering for his pre servation and happy return to his native land, and then offered up a prayer of great fervency, and replete with true devotional filling. Many an eye unused to weep was moistened, at the venerable speaker in broken tones and moving accents, pi ured out- tlie humble acknowledgment of a grateful heart. His sermon was extempo raneous, and exceedingly well adapted to the occasion which culled it forth. His text was taken from Komiru 15. 22: and the following verses: "For tchkh cause altoIJiare been much hiwJrfd from COtt)i& unia yw; 14 mtv hating no more jdact in those parts, and having a great dtsi;t tfute many years tocomennto vou.' f;. These word he applied with great apt- ie8 oi illustration to Ms own past and present situation, giving a brief narative of his residence abroad, and the objects he hoped to accomplish by his return. We have not room to $ay rrore of the discourse, only that it was listened to w ith the most undivided attention, by a large audience. In trie evening he again addressed & crowd ed house, taking for his text, "Tlie churches in Asia salute you.

Mr. Samuel Adams arose and said, "that he was no bigot, and could hear a prayer from any gentleman of piety and virtue, who was at the same time a friend to his country. He was a stranger in Phil adelphia, but had heard that Mr. Duche, (L'ushay, they pronounced it) deserved that character, and, therefore, he moved that Mr. Duche, an Episcopal clergyman, might be desired to read prayers to Congress lo mor- I he motion was seconded and paxned in the affirmative. Mr. Ran dolph, our President, waited on Mr. D. and received for answer, that if his health would permit, he certainly would. Accordingly, next morning, he appeared with his clerk, and his pontificals, and read several prayers in the established form, and then read the psalter for the seventh day of September, which was the J.ith psalm. 1 ou must re member this was the next morning after we had heard of the horrible cannonade of Bos ton. It seemed a.s if Heaven had ordained that psalm to be re id on that morning. After this, Mt. Duche, unexpectedly to everybody, struck out into extemporary prayer, which filled the bosom of every man present.

A correapooUeut of the American Menaonger, makts th following statements, which show conclunively, the tarbarUiug influence of slave ry in those districts where it prevails.

The ter ritory is about equal to that embiaced in the States of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Khode Island, and New Jersey. But while the popula tion of these States will average something like sixty to the square mile, that of the dis trict under consideration will not exceed ten, and many counties have not more than two or Ave inhabitants lo a sonare mile.

Few people have a realising sense of the horrors of the Slave 1 rsde as at present conducted. We hear of them at a distance and at once dismiss the subject from our mind, without following, in fancy, the pic. Lure in all its disgusting details. But sup pose the subject was brought home to cis by the arrival of a slaver with its cargo of hu man flesh in our waters such a one, for instance, as has been carried into Sierra Leone. She had five hundred slaves, of whom ten had died after her capture. The deck was literally covered with men, wo men and children, some lying down, some sitting, some standing. Many of them were quite small boys and girls many of them were mothers, and all quite naked. Be- ow were crowded two or three huncred, between floors not exceeding 2 1-2 feet part. Men sitting flat on the floor cannot ait up straight, and there they are crowded in as close) as they can be jammed; the first ow sitting on the floor with their backs against the side or end of the vessel, then nother row sitting in the same way crowd ed close in between their legs, and so on, as many as they can crowd in.

It would of ten be very convenient if a merchant coul be in two places at the same time. Bu: this cannot be done. If. however, there are two or three partners in a firm, these part ners may be in distant places, and thus the interests ol the whole may be properly at tended to. By dividing their business into distinct branches, and each partner superin tending a branch, the business may flourish as much as if the establishment belongeJ to one individual, who bad the convenient at tribute of ubiquity. One party may super intend tlie town department ihe other the country; one the manufacturing -the othe the selling branch; one the books the oth er the warehouse; and by this division of U bor, each branch of the business will have the advantage of being constantly under the superintends nee of a principal of the firm A . i a " . " Another advantage is that by mutual d.scus- woii upon their affairs, tlie concern will be conducted with more discretion. The ig norance of one may bu supplied by the knowledge of the other; the carelessness of one may be counteracted by tire prudence of the other. But the great advantage aris- ng from partnerships is, that capital accu mulates taster, there can be a greater divis ion of labor in a large establishment; there will be less proportionate expense: the firm will be able to g3in a greater amount of credit; and more confidence will be placed in tneir nonor and integrity, it is very rare hat a dishonest failure is made by a firm.

The principal professors having rejected Government interference, have proceeded lo discuss the reform of the scholastic system, and determined that all plans of i-ublic in struction, from the lowest charity school to the principal university, must form an or- ganic whole; that this general system must emanate from the highest authority, but that the selection of tutors, etc., as well as the payment of their stipends, must be left to the option of the parish or district in which the school is situated. That in order that the children of indigent persons may not le excluded from the higher seminaries, the payment shall not, as heretofore, be stated, but shall vary according to the tesources of the parents. That a university education shall no longer be deemed indispensable the admission into the higher offices either of church or state, but that every com- petent person, whether educated by a pri- ate tutor, in a private school, or other- wise, shall be eligible.

Prof. Drake, of Cincinnati, has been making some observations upon these inland seas, and gives the results to tlie public. Ihe chain of lakes extends over nearly eight and a half degrees of longitude in length. The extent of their surface is esti- mated at iU.OOO square miles; and the area of country drained by them is computed at HJU.uou square miles.

It is not an old language in a state of decay, but an infant language, stinted or arrested in the first stage of development. It was prob ably written at an earlier period of its exist ence than any other. Prof. Andrews says, we must go to it to see what a language is in its infancy. It is the Lillipnt of langua ges, the early invention of writing having acted upon it as the. Chinese bandaging does upon tlie feet of the Chinese female. This remarkable language, as spoken, has no more thau 450 words, which, by slight variation of tone, are increased to 2,203. Yet the Chinese converse with each other freely and upon all subjects; and in writing they use no less than 30,000 char acters, that is to say, each spoken word has from 20 to 200 methods of representation, RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. raet, that a. imprearfo. to prevalent atl ever moat of rhe an,vi,ued parti., f ,u woVu that the .yate-aeef relifion ara daelgt U Thai, pri.au have fa, ..Uo ly than formerly; their temples are neglected - Mtuw rp.r- euc. in e.
