iircumnavigated the whole of tiic Zealand

THE CHRISTIAN REPERTORY
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1831.
We rctjttest our friends and Agents who
Lave Subscriptions for the Youth's Repertory to
forward theta immediately. It is important for
us to know the number of Subscribers before
the second number is put to press.
The present is a painful and interesting pc*
tied to our Itinerant Brethren. Their labours
-£er the present year have clos; d—they are
about to bid adieu to those with w ham they have
been associated in the bonds of the Gospel and
f t) meet each other at Conference. A mul
titude of cares and a groat conflict of feelings
• will be realized by those who desire to depart
from the veteran ranks; we take the liberty,
therefore, of inviting their attention to tho fol
lowing extract and to a more serious examina
tion of A let’a invaluable essays:—
Extract cf a Idler to the Editor,
*. ‘“Suffer me to say I am ihtich pleased with
Hints to Travelling Treachers.’ His
on the subject of location has
keen peculiarly, serviceable to trie. He seems
fjo have had a secret interview with the index of
my heart, and has so forcibly reminded me of
the sacerdotal vows I have made, and the feel
ings which accompanied them at the time of
my anointing, lhat I am more than ever an
Itinerant Alan.
Go ye into all the world and preach my
ffospel to every creatine,” is the divine author
ity with which every evangelical minister of
Christ is clad, and the work to which he is
tnoved by the Ilcly Ghost. “Go ! ’ i. c. stand
“not still, proceed onward in constant progres
sion—“Go ye!” Let others do as they will,
theirs is the responsibility, but do you go, not
into cue small neighbourhood, hut into fcarihs
large pari, b, “into all the world ’-—at least as
far as you can and as long as you are able!
Stop m>t short upon your peril; there are lions
in the laud, to devour disobedient prophets, and
there are whales, in the sea, to swallow up ab
sconding Jonahs. Woe be unto the man Who
stops one inch behind his limited bounds, or
one moment short of his full time ! Woe be
fcrtlo him, if there should be found “ one err a
ture” “in all the world” unto whom he might
have preached u the Gosool,” to vise tip at the
day of dread accounts, and say to him “ yon ne
ver warned me." —Therefore “ Go if e into all the
World and preach my gospel to cvCt’if creature” i
Now with these words written on tiro tablet of
mv heart bv the finger of God, can I see any
pung before me but the spirit and work ol an (
itinerant l No.
My talents, gifts, aud graces, Lord,
I.ito t’ay blessed hands receive,
Ami let me live to preach thy word,
And let mo to thy glory live ;
flTv every sacred moment spend
‘in publishing the sinner’s Friend.”

He mark able Orcurrance.~A letter from a
Subscriber iu Southampton County, Va. dated

of a few weeks, and in the compass of a few
j miles, in that CountyJ the following deaths have
• taken place : Capt. Thomas Gray, aged 75 ;

aged 90.years.—The ages of the 8 individuals
making mi aggregate of GGS years, and an ave
rage of 83 1-8 years each, and what is more
surprising, every one of them continued active
and enjoyed good health to the moment of the
attack which brought them to their end. We
doubt if the record of mortality any where can
produce so singular an occurrence. The in
stances of longevity which it. presents are of
themselves remarkable, but their occuring so
nearly together, and within so suißll a space,
make them worthy of peculiar notice. The
persons are stated to have been very respectable
citizens of that county. — [Norfolk Beacon.
Incombustibility of the Human Body. A
correspondent of the Courier, &.c. New York,
gives the followinsr:
lii looking over an old magazine, I find the
following: The experiments made on the pre
tended incombustibility of the human body by
Mr. Bernard Hey have been attended with great
success. A liquor composed of kaifa pound of
alum, t oz. of vitriolic acid, and 2 lbs of water,
with which the hair, arms, thighs and feet must
he impregnated during several days, and which
will enable them to support a red hot lire. This
composition might he employed for the. clothes
of those who arc engaged at fires, and would
prevent them not from being burnt, but froth
taking da inn,
Mr. Hey made the model of an oven, in
which a man may remain alive a long time
without in jury, while the flainesare coming out
of the top, and even in the same time a leg of
mutton or veal is roasting. The fire and heat
are made to puss on one side bv lateral channels. I
The Washington Globe of the 2d ultimo,
says lhat a letter has been received at the De
partment of State, from Henry Savage, Con
sul />f the United States at Guatemala, cont
mutiicnting information that the government
had grunted an exemption of 2 per cent duty
on goods imported in National vessel •, nnd ns
by treaty with this country, vessels oT the Uni
ted States are to enjoy the same privileges in
navigation as those of Central America, our
Consul has succeeded in procuring the exemp
tion for our own citizens.
Anew Tariff of the Guatemala government
subjects goods imported into the Republic, di
rect from the British settlement in Honduras,
to 5 per cent, additional duty, which, as these
settlements have been the great mart whence
the whole country was supplied with manufac
tured goods, gives an advantage of 7 per cent
in favor of importations from the V. States.
The New-York Mercantile Advertiser of the
28th ult. says—“ during the late storm, a Turtle
of extraordinary dimensions drifted ashore on
Flats at W eet Fm iris, and was taken on Friday j
on the salt meadowS of Mr. Richard L. Hirst.
This turtle was immediately purchased by
Mr. Scudder, proprietor of the American Mus
eum,for thesum ofsoodol!ars, and was brought
to the city nnd safely placed in his establishment
alive yesterday. Its weight is fourteen hundred
and silty-two pounds , being some 400 to 500
pounds heavier than the celebrated turtle taken
several years ago in Sandy Hook Bay, which is
still exhibited at the same museum. This is
literally a great cariosity.
An Ox raised in Massachusetts was exhibited
iu the streets of Boston on the 2(ith ultimo,
weighing two thousand eight hundred pounds.
CimiNiES on Fine. —The prefect of polico of
Paris has directed that a quantity of flour of sul
phur should be continually at the watch-house
of the firemen in that metropolis, and at the
places of residence of the Police Officers. Flour
of sulphur, as has been demonstrated in theory
and as experience has shewn, will effectually
put oat a fire in the chimney, lt is only neces
sary to burn n small quantity on the fire-place,
the chimney of which is on fire. The sulphur
combining with the oxigen of the air, fills the
. chimney with sulphuric acid gas, which stops
uimost immediately the combustion of carbon,
the basis of soot.

The brig Leanderj Captain Gill, at ibis port
from Cowes, brings a Portsmouth paper of the
17th October, containing London dates df the

Tho politeness of an esteemed commercial
friend enables us to make the following extracts
from it.
The Reform Rill continued to excite tlie
most intense interest, and the receipt of the in
telligence of its rejection iu the House of Lords
was in most places followed up by numerously
attended meetings, for the purpose of express-
- vH I'Aftf/sp,.
W ednesdny benig announced as the day oi
which the petitions agreed to in the metropo
lis should he presented to the King, prepara
tions were commenced at an early hour in the
different parishes to proceed in procession to
St. Jan es’ Palace. Upwards of 70,000 per
sons from Marylt boue, Paitcras, Paddington.
Ilolbuurh, and other parishes, halted at the
hbtf&’rt of Regent-street, and then joined the
Civic procession, led by the Lord Mayor, She
rrfrs” sad City Authorities. These were fol
lowed by the parishes of Newington, (Surry,)
St. Luke, Ck-rkeiiwell, St. James and others—
the greater part of the gentlemen forming the
precession, wearing oak nnd laurel leaves m
their hats, light blue favours, or bauds of rib
bon round the arm as rhe “ Badge of Reform
ers,” and some wearing cockades of Mark
crape, and a few worn tri-colored ribbons-
Banners and flags were interspersed with devi.
ecs and patriotic mserptions, ail emblematical
of the general feeling.
la such ati immense, assemblage of persons,
consisting of at least 200,000, it was scarcely
possible to expect but that some outrages
should he committed. There Were, however,
very few casualties, the principal being con
fined to ihe breaking of a few windows in the
Marquis of Bristol’s house in St. James’ square;
at and as the Marquis ol Londonderry was pro
ceeding to the House of Lords through the
Park, lie was pelted with stones, one of which
was so severe, that after being rescued by the
Police, his Lordship was obliged to he taken
home in a coach. The Duke of Cumberland,
in proceeding to the House of Lords, was also
attacked in the Park, and his Royal Highness
was dragged from his horse, nnd verv roughly
used by the multitude. At’lbis juncture, sev
eral of the police forced their way through the
I mob, and extricating his Lordship from the
perilous situation in which lie had fallen, suc
ceeded in getting him through tl.c mob, and
escorted him on foot to .li e Horse Guards, it
being deemed advisable that lie should not
mount his horse again.

-—A letter fleet Faenza, dated September 23d,
says—“ Bologna lias become the theatre of
scenes Which may lead to serious events. The
authority of the Pope is totally disregarded.”
Trouble in China. —By ti.o brig Ospray,

ion Sunday, the 13th ult. from St. Helena, in
distress, bound for Salem, the following intelli
gence has been received. The British East
India Company’s sloop of war, Conte, arrived
at St. Helena, on the Ifith of September, with
dispatches lor England, announcing that the
English factories at Canton had been broken
up by the Chinese—the servants attached to
the factories had their heads taken off; the
likeness of King George torn down and tram
pled under foot—tin-trees in the factories torn
up, &c, —all commerce between the English
and Chinese ceased alter the Kith August,and
the British ships bad all left Macon.— The
