AMERICA, The City of London steamship lia brought intelligence from New York to tbe 21st of October, Tbe two chief points of interest are the Negroes and the Fenian. Tbe former are staU a difficulty," and the latter are still a mysterious but a threatening body.

It is stated thatfears of a Negro insurrection continue to prevail throughout the South. As a proof that the idea of admitting the blacks to the aame social and political rights as the whites, is scouted by some of the leading whites, it may be mentioned that General Humphreys, upon his inauguration aa Governor of Mississippi, declared secession to be unconstitutional, and stated that he favoured absolute emancipation, but was opposed to social or political equality for the negroes. A Democratic ratification meeting has been held in New York, at which General Slocum and Messrs. John Van Bnren and Montgomery Blair delivered addresses endorsing President Johnson's reconstruction policy, denouncing negro suffrage, and declaring it necessary to enforce the Monroe doctrine in regard to Mexico. As to the Fenians, who have been holding a congress of delegates at Philadelphia, the latest statement is that the Congress have decided on an important and secret measure.

Insensibly we chime in with tbe I remember, I remember," of the poet, and fond memory clings looming around the phantasmal di earnings of those happy, childish days. We have had pleasant surprises and unexpected moments of delight many times since then, but what can rival the supreme joys of that period when Gullivers in blue and Lilliputians in red, the omnipotent Jack in scarlet, and the awful giants in brown, shed mingled horror and delight upon our excited brain And when did pleasure alternate so well with pain, or grief with joy, or how often since have April showers of tears been dissipated by such rapid Bunshine of inerry laughing May Our notions may have been then, as we ourselves have become since, antiquated and singular, but we did not the less love our pinky cows, green lions, and skies of every tiut but blue.

The Head Centre announced Lhat a special envoy from the Irish authorities would communicate encouraging intelligence to the Convention. The increase in the society branches in eight months was declared to be 50 per the increase in the number of members fourfold, and the increase in the weekly receipts fifty-fold.

The American members of the society would be organized into a military body, ready to co operate with the brethren in Ireland.

It is rather, because of the old fashioned interest we cherish that we turn with peculiar delight to note the temptations set forth for the wiser scions of this vastly enlightened age. Great industry has been exorcised of late years by the eaten is for the juveniles of the present day, and, perhaps, in no department of the publishing business has more of ingenuity and skill been successfully employed than in the production of children's books. Foremost in time, but running some danger now of being eclipsed by younger though scarcely less enterprising houses, the Messrs. Xelson, of lidinburgh, published hist year a series of old favourites in a manner hitherto unprecedented.

Their wonderful editions of "Cock Robin," "The Three Kittens," ic, were, by far, the most attractive Christmas nifts of last season but judging from the specimens we have already seen, even these efforts are likely to be oat-done this vear, and wonderment guesses'' feebly but ineffectually at the distracting perplexity, sure to lie caused during the next few months, to the destining parent in search of the prettiest book for their youthiul heirs at home.

Thereupon Perceval said, "I have since offered the orhce of at War tu Miines. If he raluscs, will you take lliatr" He did lake it and his long and pro perous career began. This version differs from that ot Mr.

Both as to beauty of conception, and tastefuluess of execution, they are without doubt unparalleled. We notice them particularly, because of the characteristics, which, even considered as specimens of the printer's art, make them striking and interesting.

"Aunt Louisa's London Toy Books," comprising "Nursery Rhymes," "The Railway Alphabet," "Childhood's Happy Hours," and our old friend A apple-pie," gives us a new insight into the mysteries of colour printing. The whole series is printed oil good stout paper a little larger than our ordinary copy-books, and every alternate page presents us with four vignettes, which, for sharpness, clearness, and harmonv of colour, mny well compare with more ambitious productions of fifty times the price. Perhaps the most note-worthy feature in the lot is the novel but exceedingly sensible plan of depicting each character in modern dress instead of the time-honoured "arments which, much as we clerey and the laity in many parishe in bvone davs. But now 6d- all per 31-lbs, at Birtninliiim there was a disposition on ihe part uf the cleriry to accept wigges- TVan hnv 1 tions from the laymen, and on the part of the Laymen there was a have declined Is. to In, per wUUngness to take almost as a command the suggestions of the month.

On the evening of the 19th by special invitation, George Francis Train leetured before the Fenians in Philadelphia. His speech was highly inflammatory, and grossly vituperative towards the British Government.

Mr. Train announced that he had telegraphed as follows to Secretary Seward I address the Fenian brotherhood on Wednesday ereniiur at clergy whom they trusted.

H. SEWAJSD. The audience, through Mr. Train's inspiration, construed this ambiguous despatch to a positive denial, and received it with loud cheers, as an evidence of the friendship of Mr. Seward to the Fenian cause.

The Fenian movement, in America is eertainly attracting increased attention, and many public journals already discuss the probability of complications arising therefrom between the British and the United States governments. The fact of so many United States army officers and other public functionaries having declared themselves in favour of Fenian-ism and identified themselres with its development is looked upon as calculated to involve the two governments at least in a dispute of a serious character. The government has not as yet, however, so far as is known to the public, through the approved action of any of its officials, committed itself to any particular policy in relation to the matter.

Smith like. hear, i If, then, they looked forward to that day when the English people would be less divided and more united, it was necessary, in hi i opinion, that the Church of England should be large, liberal, wide and comprehensive but of uch breadth, liberality, and comprehensiveness as nevtr to sacrifice truth. The truth must be observed iu the organisation of the Church as well as in the management of affairs more purely human. There must be first truth and then man, and not man and then truth, it was to be borne in mind thai they must not, in such a work as this, rush to rash assnmptions. They must not mistake the ephemeral fancies of men for the eternal truths of God.

They must not, for example, take it for granted that, because doctrine first taught, during the mediaeval ages, was proved to haveexereised an influence on Christendom, that, therefore, that doctrine was primitive. They must not assume, to take another Ulnae ration, that, because practices had continued, and were now continued with advantage, in some of the national churches over which the see of Rome had acquired day by day more and more influence, that, therefore, those practices- were correct. They must not take it for granted that, because there might be some difficulties in the pure, inspired truth, they must take away all the authority of revelation. Neither must they assume that because from time to time men earnest, zealous, and devoted contended against some particular error, which was foremost in their day, that Uierefore, they grasped the whole truth in its fair proportions and its entire fulness. They must avoid all assumptions like these It was by such assumptions that difficulties arose.

They must resolve that the Church shall be at once Catholic and Protestant at once pure as the Church was inits earliest days and impregnated with the spirit of inquiry, and having the energy and the aetiveness of the nineteenth century. They must at once exercise reason and at the same time not exclude faith. They must, in one word, not his own, he had heard it used by a distinguished prelate' they must maintain the kernel of evangelical truth within the shell of apostolic order" If such, then, was the position of the Church of Englandand such their duties with reference to the Church, he came to inquire what were the objects of the Bradford Church of England.Liierary Institute Its objects were to maintain and advance the principles of the Church of England, the promotion of general knowledge in subordination to religion, and the encouragement of kindly intercourse amongst all classes of Churchmen. Now, amongst these means for maintaining and advancing the principles of the Church of England this society placed in prominent p. aition the promulgation of general knowledge and the wider extension of information.

Therewerefewerthings which were more apparent to observation than this, that the wi ier knowledge grew iu this country the wider must become the influence of the national church of this country. He believed there was a moat intimate connection between the diffusion of information and knowledge in England and the progress of the poerof that National Church in England. Th.a Church of England did not stifle inquiry, but, ou the contrary, it was a Church which courted inquiry. It was not a Church which required men to take for granted that which any man said, but, ou the contrary, it placed every clergyman in the position of saying to the congregation amongst whom he ministered, come to teach you the truth, but it is my dnty, and in loyalty to the Church, I am bound to prove it in truth." The institution sought to carry oat the promulgation of general knowledge, bat it did not conttne iuelf to general knowledge. It associated with general knowledge information as to the principles of the Chuicn.

He did not say that first of all laid down one uniform foundation of secular education, and then a thin layer, in badly tempered mortar, or church principles, but it was the blending together and lirmly by that admixture of the one perfect son and daughter of the Church of England. They could not separate the one from the other. The two things were blended together, and the moral, religious. Intellectual condition of the true follower of the Church of England was acting continually in every part of their life, acting benetlcialiy to society, acting almost unconsciously to the individual who. happened to possess them Nevertheless, it appeared to him that it was essential in the present times that members of the Church of England should oe informed, not as to the principles merely, but aa to the history of their Church.

It was quite tree the Church ol England Literary Institute was not a Church defence association, but he thought it was an association lor the promulgation of those principles upon which the defence of the Church of England must depend. It was, perhaps, not a society to man batteries and to plant guns, but it was a society to teach Lhe principle of fortification, to teach them to know what were those things which they had to defend, and what were the tactics and itrautgema by which when the time of battle arrived the citadel whicb tueyall so much loved must be closed against the foe. The) 0ufcht, In his judgment, to learn something of these times something ol tne history of the Prayer Book, and how it came to pass that the Church of England had that most rich, and treasured possession. They ought to know something of past times, and something, too, of the history of the English Ealormation something of the great movement of the national mind which once and for ever freed the Church of England from the intrusion of the Pope of Home and they ought also to know that the Church of England, so freed from the intrusion of the Pope, was one and the same Chuich that had existed in England for ages and ages past, lor it was not a new Church, built up at the Reformation by tbe fancies of men, wise, and learned, and pious though they might be, nor even reconstructed, but a Choch simply as it was at the first, having removed only from it the excrescences aud extravagancies which the darkness of that mediaeval period had encrusted around it. They ought also to know, according to his judgment, something of the controversies going oa at the present time, attacking the very foundations of truth controversies with which no man acquainted with wuat was passing around him could be wholly unconvcrsant controversies that must bring before him challenges which he was bound to meet and answer by inquiry that must be prosecuted, if not to the end, at least to such, a solution as must make strong the laith of men.

Such were some of the privileges of Churcii Literary Institute. Happy privileges they were privileges which made them more truly sons and daughters of the Chorea oi England than they could be without them privileges which would assist them in strengthening themselves uml in strengthening their Church and spreading around them in the town where they lived more of that Christian influence which it was the privilege of the Church to spread and which by a reflex action was shed upon every loyal and faithful sou and daughter of the Church of England. (Loud applause.) The meeting was also addressed by the MAYOR, who is a dissenterj sad the VICAR. The latter, in the course of an energetic speech, expressed heartily the wish that they could carry out religious institutions undenomi nationally, but said that he believed that impossible. This, he would say, and, with his long experience, from the bottom of his heart he believed that there was no religious institution altogether so liberal and undenominational as tbe true honest teaching of tne Church of England.

She was not only the most tolerant of the churches, but he believed her to be the most tolerant of denominations. Hear, hear.) He felt quite sure that, while those who were educated In Church institutes would always go forth determined to defend her principles, they would also, at the same time, be found to be the then have seen what was the matter with it. I have had to do my work under difficulties, the publisher deeming it best not to employ accented type. The pronunciation I have endeavoured to meet in other ways. If you will kindly reconsider those words you take objection to.

I Lhink. sir, you will decide my vlea of the pronunciation to be intact in its honesty, and that your own spelling of the word woulrt simply reproduce it. And now let me say that it gives me pleasure to see the Intelli-gtneer advocate with tmcb honesty and boldness the disuse of the dialect in publications ot this character, in which it alone has life. I believe this is the first suggestion of its kind that has ever failea from the press. I have revised this work, simply in order that it may be what it professes to be iu the dialect of Leeds, and that 1 might have the opportunity of making substitutions for several ofiensive forms the result of an indisposition to open the mouth with any decree of alertness.

You very rightly imply that the fpcecu, as well as the manners, of a class is capable of refinement. There will always be 4 sufficent class for the preservation of the vernacular, however gTeatly it is superseded. All really interesting words might be preserved in a glossary, and best so, as it would stimulate the antiquary in their collection. Not one percent, of the dialect speaking ptopie of Leeds use the dialect in a form, and, as the last generation die off, we shall lose many old expressive words, I can conceive of no greater argument in your favour than this, sir, that if our almanac was written with a strict and only regard to Ecieutibc value, there would be but that per centage alluded to to uriiterstaml it, and this only in a spoken way. "Tim Kobbin" is not very learned in his own dialect.

Tim's first object was the publishing interest. atch Tim sacrificing humour te the Lancashire dialect this would not have put monev in his pocket. In conclusion. I heartily agree with you, sir, that the sooner people are willing to be educated into talking good standard English and the better. It is as well to be plain with them, in the way you have been.

I have to trust to your courtesy for the insertion of as much of this note as you think proper, and am, sir, Your obedient servant. THE liEVLSEK. OF THE ALMANAC. Leeds, Slst 1805.
