The following interesting incident at the close of funeral sermon, delivered by the Rev. MT. Oliver, after the death of the Rev. Adam Gibb of Edinburgh, in the Church of the deccased, is related in the last Reformed Dutch Chuch Magazine. --PhiLadelphia.

 "When he had finished the sermon, he was proceeding to pronounce his character and eulogy. He made long pause. He attempted to speak what he had prepared: but the venerable grey-haired pastor was unable to utter word. He covered his face with his hands, and wept with his weeping audience. He dried up his tears, and once more raised himself up to pro- nounce the euogy. Again his voice was stiffled. He bowed down and wept for several minutes. A third time the aged pastor of Linlithgow attempted to pay the last tribute to one whom he loved as his own soul. But he burst again into tears, & wept aloud. The whole audience melted into tears aud the most of them sobbed and wept. And after long silence, inter- rupted by sighs and groans,the clerk named the 18th verse of the 1I9th Psalm, Scottish version.) !" Dear in Gods sight is his saints death, &c. And the mournful mel ody of "Old Martyrs" foated from the lips of two thousand weeping people. It was without atfectation, and without design. And it was one ofthe most touching, and eloquent perorations, perhaps, which ever closed funeral sermon over departed pei ty and worth."
