sailing of the man-of-war was suspended.  He proceeded to Ichaboe, and being rowed ashore, began to ascend one of the lofty ladders.  Two seamen, well armed, who had guard above, shouted to know who he was and what he wanted.  ‘A friend, who wants to speak to you,’ was the reply.  The guards seeing a single man, unarmed, climbing fearlessly towards them, permitted him to ascend.  He called the men round him, spoke kindly but faithfully to them, heard their complaints, and undertook to negotiate for them.  He did this with so much tact and judgment, that a reconciliation was soon effected, and harmony restored between the captains and their crews.  Mr Bertram remained ten days with the men on the summit of the island, employing the time to the best advantage in preaching and teaching amongst them.  It was only on the plea of urgent duty that the men would permit him to leave them.  They clustered round him, as he was about to descend from amongst them for the last time; each was eager to wring him by the hand, and tears rolled down many a weather-beaten cheek as he bade them a last adieu.  ‘God bless you, sir!’ they exclaimed; ’you have been our true friend; would that you could stay amongst us, for we feel that you have done us good.’  It will be well for nations when they have more faith in the power of a man of peace, and less in that of a man-of-war.—­Bond of Brotherhood.

NOTE TO INTENDING EMIGRANTS.

In reply to numerous correspondents who make inquiry respecting the most suitable fields for emigration, we have again to intimate, that we cannot assume the responsibility of privately advising individuals on the important step of emigrating to one place in preference to another.  Every one is best acquainted with his own desires, abilities, and necessities, and should, with the general assistance of public opinion and the press, be able to make up his mind whether he should or should not emigrate, or what distant land will be to him most answerable and agreeable.  With the view of doing all in our power to assist in forming this resolution, we have lately had prepared, under our own inspection, a series of cheap and accessible Manuals on the subject of Emigration; containing, we believe, all desirable information for those who are disposed to emigrate; and a perusal of which may possibly obviate the necessity of seeking private counsel on any point.  The Manuals may be had from any of the ordinary agents for supplying this Journal; they separately refer to AUSTRALIA, AMERICA, NEW ZEALAND, the CAPE, and PORT NATAL; and in addition, there is one devoted to general considerations and directions.  The whole, however, may be obtained bound in a single volume.
