Death of Rev. Christmas Evans.
We learn by the Londo?i Christian Ad
vocate, that this eminent servant of God
died at Swansea, South Wales, the 20th
July last. On Sabbath, July 15th, he
preached twice in the Welsh Baptist meeting-house,
and on Monday evening at the
English Baptist meeting-house, with al
most as much bodily and mental energy,
as he had been wont to display twenty
years ago. After he had retired to rest,
Monday evening, he had an attack of what
was supposed to be erysipelas. On Wed
nesday he-was better, and on Thursday
walked out, but in the evening he had
alarming symptoms, and in the night grew
worse. He exulted with holy triumph
in the prospect of eternal glory, and his
end was peace, joy and triumph.
lhe news of his death flew as on the
wings of the wind, and on the following
Monday, one of the largest assemblies ev
er seen on suh an occasion in.Swansea,
evinced iheir last mark of high respect
and veneration, by coming from great dis
tances to accompany the remains of this
devoted servant of God to their long resting-place.
Christmas Evans was of the Baptist de
nomination, and has made Christ crucified
the grand theme of his ministry 53 years.

and this is a paltry item in the list of arri

country in the county of Oneida, and
it seems as if it was emptying itself into
Ulica. The design, no doubt, is to ship
it to New York. If in other parts of the
State it is thus brought on to the canal for
shipment, the market to which it is golno-
will be glutted, and the prices must fall,

Death, of a. Young Abolitloixlat
Rev. Wm. Knibb, missionary ofJama
ca, in a letter to Joseph Sturge, gives the
following account of the death of his eld
est son last year. I take the liberty of cop
ying it from a letter from Mr. Struge.
L.T.
"Though born arnids' slavery he detest
ed it. Often did my hea 1 1 exult at the deep
love of liberty which he felt. It was in
htm, though young, a pure and lovely
flame, put it consumed him. The thought
that the members of my church would set
their people free overcame him. When
he heard that all had agreed, he drew me
a ship in full sail, with liberty on her fUg,
closing two slavers, and on her pendant,
"Slavery must fall." Ho bounded avay
with a heart too full. That night the ie
ver took him andduring his delirium the
same feeling formed all his thoughts, and
was all his converse. In his lucid inter
vals he spake of Jesus, earnestly prayed to
be accepted through his precious b'ood,
and I believe was heard in these accents
for pardon. Thus died my brightest earth
ly hope nt the age of twelve years."

Able to Support Themselves
When Mr. Joseph Sturge, of England,
was in this city on his way from the West
Indies to England, he made the following
statements :
In Jamaica a proprjrtor told him that it
was considered a good day's work for a
slave to clear 70 or SO coffee trees of
weeds, with a hop, but by paying task
work under the apprenticeship system, a
man and woman cleaned 500 trees in a
day, and a boy 250 trees in one instance !
So much for free over slave labor.
Mr. Sturge said that during his stay in
tho West Indies he did not see a single
neoTo intoxicated, and a practitioner of
medicine told him thatduring all his prac
tice he had never seen a negro woman
drunk.
In Jamaica the negroes contributed
2000 currency, towards building a meet
ing-house. On one occasion the preach

not to be too anxious to lay hi their win
ter's stock, though many of our citizens
have already done it ; for it will assured
ly go down as it did then, 'and it will go
down here likewise. The fall has been
fine, and vast quantities of butter have
been made; and with all the exporiation
there will be an abundance left behind to
reduce the price below 18 cents in the
winter. Should the high prices be main
tained for any considerable length of time,
organizations will be formed for non-con
sumption, as was the case in Philadelphia
and oiher places in the winter of 1836.
Butter is not a necessary ; strictly, it is a
luxury, and by far too much of it is con
sumed for health ; and let an extensive re
trenchment in this article be but partially
adopted, which we strongly advise, and
the poor as well as the rich may propor-
tionablv enjoy it. The consideration of
the poor is a duty devolving upon all, par
ticularly those whose circumstances ad
mit of an unlimited indulgence in things
termed luxurious, and a moderate retrench
ment on the part of such, will do as much
to aid the poor, in a season like this, to a
share in common comforts, as liberal con
tributions in money.
Th'.re is a supers bunda nee of every
thing this autumn. God has iavisned his
favors upon lhe land : and now. let strict
frusralitv mark domestic management jren-
erally, "and we shall be preserved from
the fin of consuming tho touniies of
Providence on our lusts, and essentially
benefit those who depend upon their daily
toils for the sustenance of themselves and
1 imilies. Strict economy in bread scuffs
and butter is by no means required on ac
count of scarcity, (for there is no such
thing, let it-bo -remembered,) but for the
counteraction of avarice and the predbm-
mating love ot gain. -. 1 i-ap. lieg.

ing is the substance: -From 170 to 200

ister and lhe kin? of the tribe with his
family. A chief of the Mickasoukies has
been in,- and promises shortly to bring a

Flour. The quantity of Flour arriv
ed at tide water by the Erie Canal from
the 15th of April to the 1st of November
inst. was 838,994 barrels, and the quantity
of Wheat 482,473 bushels being an ex
cess over the receipts of the same period
last year equal to 301,631 barrels, or an
increase of 47 1-3 per cent. Lrge quan
tities of wheat, it is said, still remain in
the hands of the western farmers, and that
the millers have come to the determination
to suspend business rather than pay the
high prices at present asked for it. Such
a step wilP doubtless bring down the
price. lb.

liaptirst Chvrcb, Hartford, Conn.
Having introduced Professor Kipley's
Notes into my Bible Class about "six
months ago, I Lave had a fair opportuni
ty of becoming acquainted with the mer
its of the work. I can unhesitatingly
say, that it is almost every thing 1 could
wish as a class book. . The value of the
notes consists chiefly in their brevity, ju
diciousness and simplicity. . The difficult
passages are satislactonly discu? sed, while

the work as the best of its kind, for a

Schools. Robert Turkbclu

From Rev. Messrs. Baker and Hume, Norfolk Va.
To those who have not leisure or dis
position to wade through more extended
commentaries, this, work will prove an
invaluable acquisition. Some may possi

our estimation, they; are sufficiently ex-

every sludent of the Bible, especially
every Sabbath School and Bible Class
teacher. It is prepared icitk special ref

lhe author s view3 ol tne passages on
which he comments are those of a soun l,
discriminating mind, are evidently he re-
snlt of much roadinr- and reflection, and
presented in a styledistingauihed by hs
neatness and perspicuity.
the work more voluminous, it would be
less read, and, consequently, less useful..
This is an important consideration, and
it should be allowed due weight. The '
style of the work merits particular com-
mendation; While plain and unostenta
tious, it is chaste and perspicuous. Tha
faithfulness of the author, in his notes on
those passages of Scripture which have
reference to the subject ol baptism, should
commend the work to every member of
our denomination. We trust that the ne-
riod is not far distant, when a copy of it
will be found in every Baptist familv in
the United States. Joseph S. Bakes.
Thomas Hume. .
Norfolk, Vir., August 1 1, 1833.
From Re. J. A. Warne, Editor of iLe Compre
hensive Commentary.
The author has fulfilled his promise of
affording assistance to teachers and Bible
Class pupils, without doing for them the
work ot studying their lessons. It may
not seem proper to institute comparisons
between Ripley and Barnes; and yet I
will just sny, that Professor Ripley is, in
my judgment, by far the safer, the more
modest, and the less ostentatious guide ;
and I cannot but wish he were adopted
universally, in placa of Barnes, in our
Sabbuih Schools. Joseph A. Warns
Philadelphia, August 15, 1838.
From tha Biblical Repository, Andorrr, Map..
There are three things in these Notes '.
which have given us much satisfaction ;
first, the kind and catholic spirit every
where manifest second, the labor is be
stowed upon the really difficult texts
third, the practical reflections are few and
to the point.
Froio Zion't Advocate Portland.
These Notes breathe throughout the
spirit of fervent piety ; and he who reads
them will be improved in piety as well as in
knowledge. We cordially recommend
this work to all engaged iu Sabbath School
or Bible Class instruction, and to beads of
families who canr.ot purchase more ex
pensive works.
