THE HIBERNIA' 1 1 The British steamer Hibernia arrived at New York on Tuesday morning from Liverpool Cotten had receded an eighth breadstufis are also drooping' The political news is not important if we except the chance of a rupture between Prussia and Austria Prussia A telegraphic despatch received from Berlin via Cologne announced that the Austrian cab inet had made a formal protest against the convoca tion of a German Parliament at Erfurt and that in tv despatch containing the protest the Austrian gov ernment alluded to the probability of an armedinter fcrence by Austria in the gffairs of Germany The same account stated that the Prussian government answered the Austrian despatch by the declaration that Prussia would maintain her position These accounts have been substantially confirmed rance The personal quarrels of the members of the rench Legislative Assembly terminating in more than half a dozen duels have occupied the chief attention of the Parisians during the week Pierre Bonaparte has figured in as many as three or four of the encounters None of the encounters have ended fatally but they have increased to such a degree that the government threatens to stop them by very stringent laws Austria satisfied with what Turkey has done in transporting the refugees to the interior and did not demand anything further Rus sia on the contrary demands that the Polish refu gees be expelled from the Ottoman Empire and that the chiefs should be imprisoned in a fortress without excepting even those emigrants who like Bern have embraced the Mahomedan faith It is said that Rus sia also required the expulsion of a certain number iof Poles who have been for many years inhabitants of the Qttoman states The Porte received these propo sitions in such a manner as to show that they would not be accepted and a council was to be held on the 7th to take them into consideration The Russian Minist was excessively annoyed by the presence of the British fleet in the Dardanelles

bo a Husbandman and he planted a vineyard and he drank of the wine and was drunken and he was uncovered within his tent 'And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brethren without' i Noah awoke from his wino and knew what his younger son had done unto him and he1 said Cur cd be Canaan a servant of servants shall he be unto his 5 eTho story of curse upon his grandson is one of the strong holds of the advocates jof African sla very and I intend to make it the subject of the pre sent discourse IsU Noah was a 1 farmer he probably cultivated other plants besides grapes but we are certain that he raised grapes enough to make wine sufficient to drunk 2d" He' in his drunken fit got off all his clothes and lay naked in his tcnt as many do at the present day 3d His youngest son went into the tent and saw the condition of his father' perhaps he laughed at him but at any rate he told his brothers about it 4th Noah at length got over it so that he could hold up his head and talk' 5' He thought he had been misused and thought it his duty to curse somebody 6th He thought the villain was his grandson and so he let off the curse at him By way of improvement we are led to see that the husbandman has it in his power to make the earth produce that which will be for his benefit or hurt We see a marl' the image of God by a wrong use pf the fruits' of the earth prostrate on the ground a dis gusting sickening sight which might well cause the sober part of his family to be ashamed Who would wish it to be known now' that his father was beastly drunk and stripped as was Noah when seen by his son We have here a sample of the wisdom and discern ment of a drunken man as with flashing eyes and tottering steps he braces himself against the sides of his' his' knees in the ejected contents of his stomach Hear him as with broken accents he belches forth the vile curses against not the offender but another and ask tho question Is this man now inspired by God to read the destiny of future to declare the will of God to man? The ready answer is' thit God would not commission such a messenger to declare his will But 'the story docs not pretend to be any thing more than what Noah did and said The idea of generations being meant np found in the text and if it were it should pass for only what it is' worth just: nothing at all A rea sonable interpretation of the book is all that it de serves and if it were always read in that way the ad vocates 'of oppression would be obliged to make their rlnms Stand the test bf right But so long is religion is made to sanction oppression and men are deluded by the villanous interpretations of its requirements so long will infamy triumph but when reason and truth arc triumphant the chains of the oppressor will fall Let us then my brethren do what we can to hasten this emancipation of the mind and then the bodies of men will also 'be free Amen ADDISON EVERETT Middlefield" Mass Patuetism and its Important We first attended sthc lectures of Mr Sunderland from a vivid recollection of the days of auld lang ayrfeiof the scenes' of oiir boyhood whcnwe'wcre associated wi him in country life and village sports Though thus prompted in cur first attendance' we thought we discovered something in his theory and its results worthy 'reflection and investigation and suliiequently wcnt as an inquirer sitting on the anxious But our inquiry has not proved fu tile vie haye 'bcen brought from a state of dou uncertainty to one able assur of firm conviction of the a theoretic truth and practical utility of Pathetism as a curative process in miny if not all forms of nervous disease We have arrived at this conviction not so much from being able to comprehend tho philosophy of the theory as from observing the rcsults of its application on those Buffering from disease conversing with them the more so in regard to one of our own children a daughter of fourteen who had been feeble and sickly from infancy and at the time of her first attending the lectures of Mr' weeks since) wtw thought to be by eminent physicians in a very critical state and pronounced past help by them Kh had beconie emaciated to a mere skeleton and ef from move She began Jo improve immediately on attending these lecture and becoming pathetited and has since' gained fifteen pounds of flesh and from being a peevish Writable and moping child (the effect of disease') has become a joyous laugh and iprightly girl It was in view of such facts as these reply to those low minds who( are too gross to sec any thing beyond mire materiality or whohavenot magna nimity enough tone know ledge it if they doand ho si wd the aftly and insulting cry of sw 15 ANTI SLAVERY BAZAAR 1 ANEUIL HALL TVill open on Monday the 24th of December at io a It has never before been in the power of the Man agers to present so large and beautiful collection of articles So many of our friends have visited Europe during the past year that we have enjoyed unusual facilities for procuring articles alike rare elegant and useful Our trans Atlantic friends also have never been more generous in their donations and it is with the utmost confidence that we ask our usual visitants to defer purchase of their holiday gifts till the Bazaar believing that it will be impossible to find elsewhere so large and unique a variety i Among the articles best worthy of attention are the following: Caps and anchons of the newest style from the most fashionable Magasins of Paris valuable not merely in themselves but also as patterns A small assortment of beautiful Ribbons and lowers Very splendid articles of Dresden China of: the time of Louis Quinze remarkable even in Paris for their beauty and unmatched in this country?

wretches was directed solely against the whites nothing has transpired to justify the idea that it was any more than a mere ebullition through the excitement of intoxication of feelings of animos ity
