(To the Editor of the EvEKiua Sivb.)

Sic, —I send you an extract from a late Australasian re some lectures lately delivered in London on a snbject which has exercised the popular mind almost to the exclusion of all, besides in consequence of the late visit of Mrs Hampson. Thene may be interesting to the thinking portion of your readers, and will at least prove better filling for your col iitnns than is found generally in the " Society twaddle." Speaking of Mrs Hampson, I notice it is proposed to bring her back to ask subscriptions from those who owe their salvation to her ministration. Now as that good lady has more than once declined all monetary or other recompense, this opens for all a means of giving substantial evidence of the sincerity of their professions. 'Tis written "IJe thatgivetb to the poor lendeth to the Lord." We have too much poverty and too much sickness. If Mrs Hampson will come back and devote all subscriptions towards our local charities, these institutions should reap a good harvest unless all those conversions are but skin deep.—l am &c, Eclectic.
