The A rrest of one of the murderers of Mary C. Ro gers.—On Monday, James Finnegan, a rowdy, of confirmed rascality, was arrested in this city by of ficer Tompkins, of the New-York police, under information amounting nearly to certainty, that he is one of the wretches who committed the outrage and murder on Mary C. Rogers. It seems that the New-York police have already two or three of the gang in custody; that one of them confessed to the crime, and implicated Finne gan ; and that the keeper of a house, to which they were in the habit of resorting, informed the police of F.’s Vv’hereabouts, he having (ju^t the city imme diately after the murder. It is stated, that the gang consisted of six or seven persons, whose atrochies in various forms are familiar in the police annals; that two of them were known to Mar)'" Rogers, and meeting her in the street, on the morning of her murder, invited her to sail to Hoboken, sa-ying that he had hired a boat with oarsmen; that she accom- )>anied them; was enticed, unsuspecting, to a re tired part of the shore, and there^ after the acaom- plishment of their hellish purposes, brutally mur dered. Finnegan when arrested wore a ring which is said to have been indentified as one belonging to Mary Rogers, I’he Bee says that he is one of the ganjjf who about a year since committed a gross outrage upon a yonug girl in this city.

Brethren’ and Friknds,—Allow me to say a ft!W’ things to you, as the lovers of our Lord Jesus Christ, concerning the circulation of the Word ol Cod. However much we may diff'er m our opinions of the doctrines (aught in the Bible, and respecting Church Government, avc all unite in the belief that tlie world must be saved by giving it the Scriptures of divine truth.—You ore doubtless aware ot the existence of the American Bible Society, and that for twenty-five years this National Association has been disseminating the w’ord of (xod, “ without note or comment” in our Otvn country and in foreign lands. You may be pleased to know’ that the Soci ety during it.s existence has sent forth directly frdrn its depository ^hox^l three in ill ions of Biblesand Tes- I'anients, and that it lias also furnished the means of publisliing not less than 200,000 copies more in for eitrn tonffiie^ and foreign countries, through the "\Iis.*5ionaries sent out by (he dillerent deiiominations of (Miristians. , But w’liat is this, compared wiih the woria s w’ants ? A I;andlul of seed scattered over a iield ol immense extent! The eflortsof the Bible Societies instead of supplying the w’arits, have only devel oped the necessities of the w’orld. The officert! in form us in their late Annual Report that $50;000 is the least sum which should be raised during the current- vcar to answer even the calls (or our lor- eiun missions.—But Ictus look at our ow’n country. Tliink of one State alone, Pennsyvania, having tu'cnfy thousand families destitute of the blessed Bi ble ; of the destitution of our Western, Southern, and South-Western States; of the numerous fami lies weekly being formed in our country ; of the ma- n\ thousands of children who should have the word oi'Cod put in their hands; of our sailors who go down ti. the sea in ships,’’ and should not be suftcr- el (o depart without tiiis spiritual I te-preserver ; and of the more than GO,000 emigran(s that arrive annually at one single port of our country, and who arc to become citij^ens of the I. niied States. When vou bhall have taken this view of the state ot our country, think tliat we are a small portion of a irorhl. every inhabiLant of which must liav'e the Bible and hear the name of Jesus. Recall to your minds, too, that no ('iiristain is pennitted lorelax hie cifort.s un til the rich, w'aving harvest of our earth shall be^ irathered into the garner of our GocK or the night ol Death shall overtake the servants ot the Lord laith- fullv at work in Hi.s vineyard. iMie object of fho enlightening and revolutionizing a whole world is sublime, and it cannot be attained in a dav. it cannot be accomplished by a single cf- ibrt. The Christian Church must bend all her mii;hl to an unremitting labor—perhaps for years, before she can hope to hear the shout of the worlds re demption. And. no'.v. I propose the question to your serious anti praverl'ul attention,—hat should the State of North ("'arolina do tor this cause ? Before we an- sw’er that question allow me to give, you the num ber of communicants in only three of the religious denominations in this State;—the Aloraviani^, tue^ Presbi/ferian.'^, and the .MdJiodic^tt:.

I AGAIN ofifcr the above reward for the apprehension and delivery of my boy Wdey, or hisconfincmet in any jail so thafi can get him. Having stated in a tromer advertisinent, that said boy pro bably had a free pass and was making his way*west, I w as mistaken, and l»ave recently learned that he has been in Providence Settlement in this county, ever since he left in April last, and has been passing him self as a white man, by the name of James R. Ross. About to be detected, he left the above mentioned place, on the 6th ult. When he left, he had on a black frock coat, black hat, and cotton pantaloons, descrip tion of person, (as before) a bright mulatto (almost white) about 25 years old, 5 feet 5 or 6 inclies higli, broad spoken, straight black hair, and a elight halt in his walk occasioned by a broken thigh. Said boy will doubtless make nis way into some other settlement, in this, or one of the adjoining coun ties, assunae some other name, and again tiy to pass him^selfas a white man, having succeeded so vvell, inhisfirst attempt. All communications relating to said boy, will be addressed to the Subscriber living near Lancaster C. H., ^ COUSER. Mecklenburg Co., Oct. 12th, 184L 31...3iv.
