drawn, and anew law given. That Chris! did give a hew law en this subject h abundantly evident.* With regard tc divorce, it is as explicit as language cat make it; and nith regard to polygamy ii is so plain as to have secured the assent o every portion of the Christain chureh in a! ages. The very fact that there has beet no diversity of opinion or practice amonj Christians with regard to polymany, is r self decisive evidence that the win of Chris was dlearly revealed on the subject. Th'< temptation to continue the practice was a: .strong, both from the passions of men and the sanction of the prior ag- s, as in re garci *.o slaver}*. Vet we find no traces o the toleration of polygamy in the christiat church, thougli slavery long continued t? prevail. There is no evidence that tin apostles admitted to the fellowship of Chris bans, those who were guihy of this infrac tion of the law of marmige. It is indeei } ossible that in cases where the convert had already more than one with, the con nexion was not broken off. It is cvideti this must have occasioned groat evil. 1 would load to the breaking up of families the separation of parents and children, a well as husbands and wives. Under thosi circumstances the connexion may havi b^en allowed to continue. It is howeve very doub"fill whether even this was per milted. It is remarkable that among th< numerous cases ef conscience connects with marraige, submitted to the apostles this never occurs. * "The words of Christ (Matt. xix. 9) ma; be construed by an easy implication to pro hibit polygamy :\tor if 'whoever putteth awa; his wife and marrl'th another committctl ? 1 ?>1- - - Artrvtl.n?i ?? t'yl./iii auiuterv imt who niurriviii uuvin^i ?< ??.<'? putting away the first, is no loss guilty of adul tery: because the adultery does not consist i: the repudiation of the first wife (lor, howeve unjust and cruel that may be, it is not adulte rv,) but in entering into a second tnnrriagi during the legal existence and obligation c 1 * rr > the first.

(nridge, on the subject of American Siavsry.' rs Mr. Thompson calls it. Mr. Breckenridge came to this country about two months ago, and soon afer he arrived, there appeared in the i>ublic papers a challenge signed by Thompson, announcing that he would like to meet any American gen. tleman or clergyman to discuss the principles of Abolition, Colonization, <Ac.. and Mr. B, accepted it. The disputants met in Dr. Wardluw's Church, in Glasgow, on Monday evening, the 13:h instant, and continued the discussion for five successive evenings, three hours each evening. Kach was to occupy the rostrum lor half an hour at a time. Dr. Wardlaw, the Chairman, first arose and stated the object and rules of the meeting, by which there was to be 011 the part of the audience, no expression of feeling, whether by applauding the speakers, or rice versa. After making a few remarks upon the different positions which each of the disputants, held, and distinctly stating that Mr. B. was not n slavc-hoWer ^ 1 1 ,1 _ or advocate ot slavery, no resigned me Door to Mr. B., who began hy saying that lie was * aware of the delicate position in which he stood before so large and resectable an assembly, (upwards of1000) whose t opinions wore, he was sure, all leaning towards his opponent; but he besought their patient hearing, for lie came not to advocate slavery, or even to dispute the right of foreigners to interfere in so momentous a question,-hut he had much fault to find with the mode which some foreigners had adopted to free our slaves; and which, if persisted in, he hoped to prove, would not only defeat their avowed object,but would be fraught with the most injurious results both to our nation and the slaves themselves.'?During his half hour, he was listened to in silence and with attention; but it was easy to see, by the countenances of the audience, and even of the respectable committee who ncounied the platform, that lie was plead ing against prejudice, and had a difficult task to perform.?Now, Thompson, their favorite, arose; and, the first and each succeeding burst of eloquence (for lie is a fluent and handsome speaker,) he elicited applause. Cries of4 Hear /' 4 h^arf rang through the house, in despite of all the worthy chairman could do to prevent it: and I was almost afraid Mr. B. would be utterly discouraged; but true Kentucky blood stirred in his vein , and nothing daunted, he again took his turn, and told the folks some facts they had never heard before. Curiosity and doubt now seemed to reign, till their champion again rose, and smoothed over tilings a little. The next evening Mr. T.'s arguments were pretty much a repetition of those advanced 011 the? fust, and Mr. 13. told h'm so. Whispers were now runningthrough the crowd that he (Mr. B.) was a 'clever chieV?dinna yc think, my man, that Thompson's caught a tartar&c., &c. O11 Wednesday evening there was less applause for Thompson : and on Thursday, he was actually hissed, and Mr. B. marmly applauded. You may be sure I was delighted a: the success of my townsman, and at the same time, I gave the good people of Glasgow c edit for such good sense, now that they knew the whole truth; for it was not of downright falsehood that Mr. T. stoodaccused, but of not telling the whole truth of some of his dreadful tales.

J Singular case of double vision.?At the London Medical socictv, on the 22d ult. i ; Mr. Field related a remarkable case of! j double vision, which in some particulars I I differs from the usual symptoms of suchaf- | factions. The patient is a young man aged 22d, of abstemious habits, and so studious . in playing and writing music as frequently to lose a great portion of his night's rest. I He first began to see objects double about j tvro years ago, but lie did -not pay nnv at, tention to the circumstance. Since then j the alfection has continued to increase, and he now sees two distinct objects, one a few inches above the other; that which be takes to be the real object, appearing rather the | brighter of the two. It is only at a certain ! distance that he experiences this pheno' menon. When near, objects arc not | doubled. There are no symptoms of disj ease of the brain. The eye is dark, and : the pupil does not contract to the usual ex. I tent of healthy action. What is most re- j ntarkable in the case is, the fact of both eyes being similarly affected, so that if the j patient closes either the same result fol- ! lows as when they both open.Various opin- j i ions were expressed in the society with re : gard to the cause.
