Whe the blow at tyranny was struck, a counte one was aimed at ieligion and behold the ri sult;-atheism and communism rule the lan In our own republic, where reason and pri dence guided the heln, the result was not fir-t so deplorable. But look at the pictui which it now presents, and review the pa conjoimtly. Mormonism and Socialism at I i Vest, and second AdventiEm and Fourieris at the East, stand as the land-marks Free thought. A history of religion impo tures would from a library of itself. Th human mind, like a straw ins the wind, seen wonderfully susceptible delusion and imp sition of a subject of all others, the most in portant both for time and eternity. We ay led to these remarks by reading of the deal Of FATHER MILLn, so styled, whose crusai waR the destruction of world-but the wor still stands and he has been n-imbered wil the dead. From the time of Paine, to ti advent of Mormonism, not even exceptir Mathias impostures, had credulity out-blusli ed itself than through the instrumantality this man. Ile, under his new creed in pr dieting the end of the world, and even namimi the day, brought more misery and distreg wherever his doctrines prevailed, than any a the numerous fanatics who have at differer periods agitated the world. Under the in pression, that the day named would be ti end of the world, and that the faithful wou ascend to heaven, many distributed the wealth among their friends and relatives, tI biggest knaves getting the largest portio for which the zealots, happy in anticipatin the approach of that day which was to wa them to everlasting bliss, prepared their a cention robes, and men and women wo them, waiting patiently for the last trumpe to sound, and the approach of tL.e Angel G briel. The day arrived and the sun rose an set as beautiful as ever, thme earth gave ri signs of trembling, and the heavens no signa of dissolution. hen credulous fools laid asic their robes and Miller postponed the advem to a distant day, but ho cameo to his end,-an not the world. The result of this fanaticasi was painful and distressing. A wakening fro the dream of folly, many of his disciples four the~miselves reduced to beggary and want those who accepted the transfer of their pr< permy, felt no disposition to restore it w"hc thme propihesy of Mbiller had become falsifie and many still remain anixiously looking the skies for invitation to ascend in whit they still repose confidence.

TiE ISLAND OF JAu1AeA.--The spirit of an nexation manifestedby the Canadian Isubjects of Great Britain seems ti, have been caught up by Ihe people of Jainica. Fairly ruined by the policf or the Mother country in abolish. ;ng slavery, the islanders are awake-iing from their lethagy and are now striving to seek redress hyannexation of this Union. The Kingston Cpgserratire, speaking of this subject says: "No man in this island yet thinks of niding foreign arms to dispossess Great Britain uf Jaimaie. We hive not yet arrived even at that state of feeling which would induce any inhabitant to lift a finger against the ancient Crown of England. But we must live: we must assert the riehts of our common country. I -mpressed wits these views. there are many who pray the Great Ruler of all nations so to dispose of events, that an amnicable secession of this Island to the United States of America, without quar relling or bloodshed, may speedily occur. For ourSelves, we repeat, th:at we should re gret to see Jamaica leave the ancient fold; bu we would not wonder if it occurred to morrow. So that it lie done without rebelion alas t ton many woil be only glad of it." Yankee enterprise has emigrated to Kings ion; an 'United Statcu He1' has been open ed, and American firins have commenced bus iness. The question of growing cotton on the Island ti seriously agitated, and it is ssid that American gentlenien of wealth are about to eimbark largely in its production. An American company, with a capital of $19000,000 has taken the copper mines at Mount Vernon, and will work them vigorous. ly. REDUcTIox or PoSTAGiE-The lion. DoNE Bnown has given notice that le will intro duce, atan early day, a bill to reduce the rates of postage and for other purposes. He proposes to reduce the postage as low as five csnts, a uniform rate, and curtail or abolish the franking privilege, and perhaps some in portant changes in the routine and manner of discharging the dutiesof the Post Office D.: partment. It is suppueed that newspapers ray-be allowed to be sent (a prescribed diE tance, say 30 miles, ). free of postage to sub cribers. These meiures will deservedly be 'xtremely-:populhr. Newspapers, however, should be free within the State, in which they are publIshed.''
