Seventy yc;-rs, yet I'Would not shrink from the task. I have made, twice, a more difficult voyage. I have, for the sake of jnv Lord and plaster, and for the sake of the souls lie has bought, gone into the dangerous north seas, not in the very best time ; and in my last voyage I iircumnavigated the whole of tiic Zealand group, into the Greenland seas; and many who may know both fiat ai.J the Atlantic, would Consider that as a stefun-vessel canal trip, when Compared with the former.

Jll ■ 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.” . ‘ DOMES TIC SUMMARY.

He mark able Orcurrance.~A letter from a Subscriber iu Southampton County, Va. dated tilth inst. states that recently, within the period 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 ; I Mr. Ho. Ricks, aged 85; .Mr. Dixon Kitchen, aged 8(5; Mr. Andrews, aged 75; John Morris, aged ©0; Mrs. Mary Boykin, aged SO; Mrs. Sarah DiV>er; listed !)0, and Mrs. Munford. 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. FOREIGN. From die Baltimore American. The brig Leanderj Captain Gill, at ibis port from Cowes, brings a Portsmouth paper of the 17th October, containing London dates df the 15th, four days later than the previous accounts. 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. . trii.t.— Opposition to the, Pc pc in Bologna. -—A letter fleet Faenza, dated September 23d, says—“ Bologna lias become the theatre of scenes Which may lead to serious events.

Caldwell, which arrived at Charleston, 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 Philadelphian.
