VIAIOIt. Saturday, July 19. BORNEO CHURCH MISSION. On Thursday the annual meeting of the friends and supporters of the above institution was held in the Hanover square Itowns. The Right lion. the Earl of ELLLSMEHR took the chair, and opened the proceedings iu a brief address. The report, which was distributes' among the meeting, consisted chiefly of letters from the missionaries in Borneo and from Rajah Brooke, showing that the efficient mainten &nee and future extension of the home school were most important to the welfare of the mission; that it was expe dient to keep up the day schools, as bringing the mission lures into direct intercourse with the more intellectual na tives, and raising the tone of their minds; but they had but little effect in a Christian point of view. The home school, where the children are trained as Christians, and withdrawn ' in their early years front the debasing habits and associa tions of heathenism, it was hoped would be the chief nur sery for the church. The annual expense of each child is about six guineas. The accounts for the past year showed a balance at the bankers of 248/.

The Bishop of LONDON moved the first resolution to the effect : " That the accounts received from Borneo are highly encouraging as respects the progress of the misisou ; but, ut the same time, show the necessity for incteased ex ertions to promote the accomplishment of the objects for which it was established." Ills lordship expressed himself highly gratified ut the good attendance on the occasion, in spite of the unpropitious state of the weather. it was now 14 or 15 years ago since Mr. Earle called attention to Borneo, and recommended the establishment of a tree port which, he said, would lead the way to civilisation, and, consequently, to Christianisation. First it was necessary to protect native commerce and then to ensure free inter course ; it was impossible to carry on commerce while the high seas were infested with bands of pirate. ; it would not be necessary here to dilute upon the moans which had been used by the eminent person who was then amongst them. (Cheers.) We might look forward to the time when the name of Sir James Brooke would appear in history as the pioneer of Christianity in the east. (Cheers.) The be ginning of this cnterpnse had been but small, had it been otherwise the whole project might probably have failed ; the individual already alluded to felt that if he could but once plant a foundation he was sure of ultimate suc cess. Men of the IJyak tribes were peculiarly un fitted for Christianity ; they delight in human sacrifice, they consider the possession of human heads the greatest trophy they can possess. They believe in a future state, and that their happiness will be in prop rtion to the number of their followers, estimated by the number of human heads they possess. He would mention une circum stance which was peculiarly encouraging : this extensive field of labour had been visited by his excellent friend the Bishop of Calcutta, who had consecrated a new church at Borneo, and had spoken of the mission as one of the most promising in the east, and one that uttered the greatest en couragement to persevere iu Christianising the Indian Archipelago. But this great work had only been begun they had not the means to carry it out ; he therefore hoped that the mission would not be allowed to languish. Sir JAMES BROOKE, in rising to second the resolu tion, was loudly cheered. lie said it was four years since, in that room, lie hail intimated hid willingness to aid the Borneo mission. lie had clone so with fear and trembling. He was aware that in Sarawak he ruled and lived by moral influence alone, and that if any ill-will excited the Mahoinetau nation it would prove fatal to the mis sion and to himself, and that therebg the seeds of civi lisation would have perished before they had shooted. When the mission arrived pains were taken to show the native tribes that it was not intended to enforce any new doctrine upon them, but that they should merely be tole rated, and that any one who felt eunvineed might join them. No obstacle was offered to this : they were received kindly by one of the chiefs, who had since become his (Sir James Brooke's) intimate friend. It had always: been his chief aim to impart general knowledge in preference to any particular religious doctrine. The church and missionary house had been erected, to which WAS attached a school, in which children were instructed, not only in this Christion religion, but in Christian habits. lie had ever found the natives a generous although a haughty people. Ile had been among them in their wildest moods, but never found them treacherous. lie lived at Sarawak atthe will of the people, he made no law without appealing to the people, anything emanating from theta was brought wider the dist ussiou of the European autho rities and native chiefs. lied he the means, he would not be among them to ask fur support, and better would it lie Borneo should return to barbarism, or be flowing with blood as 1 found it, or that I should perish, than that we should inculcate christian principles, and not have christian practice. (Cheers.) In concluding, Sir James alluded to the recent controversy, and said be would suffer it all fur the cause, and trusted that he should bear no malice. The Bishop of OXFORD proposed a resolution declaring that the meeting agreed with Sir James Brooke in his opinion that the erection of a bishopric for Sarawak was a step urgently required by the cir cu mstances of the mission ; and entered into a lengthened detail of the true apostolicul mode of establishing missions, which he said ut the resent day was entirely lost sight of, and to th e neg l ec t o h' which he attributed the limited extension of Christianity in some of the British possessions. lie argued that the true mode was to establish, in the first place, a bishop, and then, us a matter of course, priests of the second order would be ap pointed, according to the necessities of the different localities. Sir INGLIS seconded the resolution ; which was put and carried. The Rev. Mr. JACKSON moved, and Captain BETlluxe, R.N., seconded, a resolution in favour of un appeal to be at once made to the liberality of churchmen for the funds necessary for the establishment of a bishopric in Borneo, and for the extension of the operations of the mission. The motion was carried umunmously ; and, after a vote of thanks to the Earl of Ellesmere fur his conduct iu the chair, the meeting broke up. I
