At ----________ --ea " It may be advantageous to take a glance at the physical features of the country first, in order to be able to appreciate tho nature of the obstacles which will have to be surmounted by those whom God may honour to introduce Christianity into this large section of the heathen world. The remarks made for this purpose must be under stood as applying exclusively to the country between 18 deg. and 10 deg. S. latitulf, and situated towards the centre of the continent. The region thus indicted may be described as an extensive plain, intersected in every direction by large rivers, with their departing and re-en .tering branches. They boar on their bosoms volumes of water, such as are totally unknown in the south, and never dry up, as the Orange and most other African rivers do. They appear as possessing two beds, one of inundation, and another cut out exactly like the Clyde above Bothwell Bridge. They overflow annually during the rainy season in the north, and then the beds of inundation—the baughs or hohns—are all flooded, though, as in the Ba rotse valley, they may be more titan 29 miles broad. The main body of water flows in the now very deep low-water bed, but the rivers look more like chains of lakes than streams. The country between this and Shesheke was during the present year nearly all under wattr. The parts which remained dry are only a few feet above the general level, and canoes went regularly from Linyanti to Shesheke, the distance being in a straight line more than 120 miles. It was an unusually wet year, and the plains are not yet fray from large patches of stagnant foul-swelling water, though we expect the rains of another season to be gi❑ during the present month. The inundation, if I may ' judge from my own observation, is by no means partial. The exceptions are, where over-topping rocks form high banks, and there we have rapids and cataracts, which im pede navigation, and have probably always been the car riers to inland trade. When the supply of water from the north diminishes, the rivers are coining 1 by the lew water channels, and even at their lowest are deep enough to prevent invasion by enemies who cannot swim or manage canoes. Numerous lakes of considerable size are left on the lately flooded meadow■ by the retiring rivers, and these are either fringed with reeds or co►ered with mat rushes, papyrus plants, the Egyptian arum, the lotus, and other water-loving plants. They are always dry ing up, but never dry ere the next wet season begins. "The country over which the rivers never rise is rarely 200 feet higher than the helium ; more frequently it is under 10) feet. In many parts there are plains so level, the rain water stands for months together six or eight inches deep. We waded across some upwards of 20 miles broad, and fish, otters, and water-tortoises, appeared in numbers, and quite at home among the grass, bushes, and trees. These peculiarities result in a great nicaaure from the form of that part of the continent to which our atten tion is directed. It appears to be of a basin or trough form ; the hollow is much more elevated certainly than the sea, but it is considerably depressed in reference to two sides. I was led to the recognition of this fact by contem plating the Lotembua running in two and nearly opposite directions. Partin; at the Lake Dilolo, the northern portion is discharged into the easel, and thence into the Atlantic by the Congo. The southern half disembogues into the Leba, and thence into the Indian Ocean by the Zambesi. The boiling point of water showed this takes place at the highest part of the basin. It is a sort of par tition in it, and both north and south of it all the feelers of the great draining rivers flow from both eastern and western ridges towards the centre of the continent. The general direction of ranges of hills, and the stratification of the rocks dripping down towards a central basin now much filled utp by eruptive rocks, I had noticed many years ago ; and information received from Arabs of two large shallow lakes within the eastern ridge makes me wonder I did not recognise what seems so self-evident now. I advance this view to you now with the less diffidence, inasmuch as I have just ascertained, by the perusal of Sir R. Murchison before the Royal Geographical Society, that he promulgated the same idea so long ago as 1852. I can not imagine how he received the information; but from his eminent scientific attainments it is certain to be from a reliable source, and as I reached the conclusion from inde pendent but very jog -trot observation, the view of that gentleman is surely correct. " THE CLIMAIHI. Patrick atrroll, 35, who was described in the calen dar as a clerk of superior education, was indicted for unetw.ully assent ing Emma Luff. The prosecutrix was a girl 15 years of age next De cember, but looking much older, the daughter of a col lector, reeiding at No. 2, George's-terrace, Copenhagen street, Islington, and the prisoner was stated to be a clerk in the General Post-office, in the receipt of a sal.ry of 1601. a year. He lived next door to the girl's father. In her examination in chief the prosecutrix sttted that the prisoner had lived next door neighbour to her father for about-four years. On the evening of the 12th of August, at about half past eight o'clock, she saw I him in the street. He was at his door, and she was in the arra of her father's house. Ifs told her that he had received a letter from his wife, who was in the country, and that he expected her home at the end of the weed. At about baltpaet 9 the same night she went into the garden to take some clothes which had been washed from a line, and site saw the prisoner in his garden. He spoke to her, but at first she took no notice. He said, "Emma, here, I want to speak to yon." She had some of the clothes on her arm then ; she took there into the kitchen, and then returned to the garden, when she found the prisoner close to toe wall. The ground on his sile of the wall was lower than on here, and she could but imperfectly see him. She went to speak to him, and stood upon a child's chair which was standing there. He asked her to stand higher if she could. Triers was a ladder on his aide of the wall. He again asked her to stand higher, and she then knelt on the top of the dust-bin. The prisoner then got up the ladder, and when he got close to her, he put his arm round her waist, and said she was a nice girl. She told him to be ashamed of himself, as he was a married man. He hae a glass in his hand, and asked her to drink out of it ; he did say what it was, but she could not recol lect the name. She refused to drink, and he then put the glass to her mouth, and some of the liquid it contained, whatever it was, went down her throat. It ha i a very bitter taste. She did not swallow it willingly, but tried to force the glass away. Directly after she had swallowed it her feet became numb, fire seemed to flash from her eyes, her head whirled round, and she feltdown heavily, her head coming in contact with something which caused a severe contusion. She became inseam ibl -, and when she partially recover-d she found herself in a closet with the prisoner. He was then standing besi ;e her with a glass of wat.)r in his band, some of whice lie dashed in her face. She again lost her senses, and when she came to she found herself on a eed in the prisoner's bect parlour. She then struggled with him, ar d the head-board of the bedstead fall out. (See here tisscr,btd the assault.) The next she remembered was a,eain fineing herself in the closet, her lister, who was some years younger titan herself, standing beside her. See made a noise, and be said if she did not stop it he w )ula poison her, and he tried to force a handkerchief into her mouth, but that was before she saw her sister. In cross-examination she said she did not have any supper that night—she did not go into the defendant's sltchen. Before she went into the garde* she sent her sinter out on an errand, to take some clothes to the mangle. She was on the duet-bin about a minute before he gave her the drink, and when he olered it to her she closed her teeth and tried to push him away. She could not tell how she got over the wall, except that she fell off the dust-bin. When her sister went out she shut the door after her, and expected to let her in again in a few minutes. She had never been subject to hysterical fits. She had sent her sister to the mangling woman's several times before that occasion. -Anne Luff, the sister, stated that when the prosecutrix sent her with the clothes to the mangle she told her she would open the doer for her, and then they would wait up until their mother came home. When she got back she knocked at the door for an hour, but no one answered, and she was then taken into the house No. 1, and a gen tleman got over the wall and let her into her father's house, No. 2. As she could not find her sister at home she went out again. The prisoner came to his &or, and ette asked him if he bad seen her sister. He said she was in the closet, and took her there. She found her sister lyi ele at full length on the floor. The prisoner had a g lass i n Ns hand, and wished witness to drink, and said her siste" had had some. She would not, and he held her to prevent her going away. Her sister was screaming. Mr. Garrod came in. Cross-examined —She had never been sent with the mangling so late before. It was usual for her to take it of a morning. She had not taken the mangling for months before. Frederick Garrod, solicitor's clerk, of No. 10, Church. street, Islington, stated that he was visiting ate friend's in George's-terrace on the occasion in question, and hear ing screams from the prisoner's house he proceeded there, and knocked several times at the door. The pri asonndearnooptehueerel the kersodnogoortainnd, aopndpoassekdehdiswhenattrwaanicet,hebcuatubsee of such screaming. He saw the girl lying in the passage. She seemed in great pain, ber eyes were swollen, her hands were clenched, and there was a wildness about her which induced him to think she was in a fit. Toe witness took her up and placed her on a couch in the parlour. Carroll did not assist. Hie clothes were out of order. Witness told hint there were cit eurestauces of sue picioa in the matter, and that be thedglet he hoe at tempted an assault upon the girl, whose drsss was disar ranged. The prisoner said he had only given her two glasses of ale, and that all of a sudden She fell into the state in which he had found her, see being s ubject to hysterical fits. Witness went into a back pa rlour, and theta saw a bed tumbled about. This confirmed his sus. pinion, and he asked prisoner to say truly what he had given her, so that proper treatment might he resorted to to restore her to sensibility, and he then repeated that he end only given her two glasses of ale. When her eyes met the prisoner's she seemed to scream worse. She was removed to her father's house, and the prisoner was afterwards given in charge. Mr. Scott, surgeon, attended her. Evidence was then given of the inability of a medical gentleman, Mr. Billingburst, of Downbam road, who examined the girl, to attend to give evidence through illness, and accordingly his deposition was read. It stated that he was called tea to see the prosecutrix at 5 o'clock on the following too •ning, when he found her in a state " In regard to the people inhabitiug this Lazo and po pulous territory, it is difficult, in the absence of all nu merical data, to present a very precise idea. The tribes are large, but divided into a great number of villages. So thickly were these dotted over the country, that in tr a vel- Hog in a straight line, in which we could aro'y Bd3 111010 than a wile en each side, we often passed 10 or 12 hamlets in a single day. Occasionally, however, .we marched 10 miles without eeeing any. In no part of the south I have visited is such a population seen. Angola contains 600,000 souls, and Londa seemed more populous, and of larger ex tent than it. The Cape Colony, with 200,000 souls, poi- SCBSCS some hundreds of missionaries and other Christian 'nstructors and schoolmasters, but it will boar no compa rison with Londa as a missionary field. The Mekololo ter ritory has several tribes—Batoks, Batotse, Baehubca, Ban yeti, Matiotlora, &c., and there is no impediment to im mediate occupation by missionaries; and to such as aspire to the honour of being messengers of mercy to the actual heathen, there is no more inviting field in South Africa. I am not to be understood as meaning that any of these peo ple are anxious for the Gospel. They are quite unlike the intelligent inquiring race in the Panjaub, or the vivacious islanders in the Pacific. But there is not such callous indif ference to religious truth as I have seen elsewhere, nor yet that opposition which betokens progress in knowledge. Bnt there is a large population, and we are quite sure, if the word of life is faithfully preached, in process of time many will believe. I repeat again, that I know of no im pediment to immediate efforts for their instruction. Every head man and chief in the country would bo proud of the visit or residence of a white man. There is security generally for life and property. I lift, by mis take, a pontoon in a village of Londe, and found it safe eighteen months afterwards. Some parcels sent by Mr. Moffatt, by means of Matebele, lay a whole year on an island in the Zambesi, near M aioetuinya. It is true it was believed that they contained medi cine which might bewitch, but regular rogues are seldom scared by such preservatives. The Balonda are a friendly, industrious - race, ;And thousands of the Balobale find an asylum among them from the slave-dealing propensities of their chiefs. They seem to possess a more vivid conviction of their relation to the unseen world than any of the southern tribes. In the deep, dark forests near their vil lages we always met with idols and places of prayer. The latter are spots about four feet broad, and 40 long, kept carefully clear of vegetation and falling leaves. Here, in the still darkness of the forest night, the worshipper, either male or female, comes alone and prays to the gods (Berinto) or spirits of departed relatives; and when au answer to the petition seems granted, meal or other food is sprinkled on the spot as a thanksgiving. "The Balonda extend to 8 deg. S. let., and their para mount chief is always named Matiamvo. Thor are many subordinate chiefs, all nearly independent. The Balobele possess the same character, but aro more warlike; yet no prudent white man would be in the least danger among them. Diarrhoea continuously decreases, the deaths from it in the week were 124, which is less than half of the number caused by this complaint about three weeks ago. Four deaths are referred to cholera ; three of these oc curred to infants ; the remaining case is returned as follows :—St. Margaret, Westminster, in the workhouse on Sept. 1, a man, aged 40 years, " Asiatic cholera." He was in the last stage of disease when admitted. At 2, Tyro-place, Clerkenwell, a coppersmith died on the 30th ult., at the age of 18 years, of diarrhoea (23 days), gastroenteritis (18 days)." With reference to the I . use in which the young man died, the medical attendan'., re marks :—" There is a cesspool apparently nadir tie kitchen, with an untrapped drain in the court, which emit very offensive effluvia, and the whole of the fam I y, with one exception, have suffered from the complaint during the past month." In two cases of scarlatina out of the 29 which were fatal in the week, two men, aged respectively 36 and 45 years, were the sufferers. A child died of tetanus apparently idiopathic. Two women did at the age of 92 years, two women at 93, a man at 93, and a woman of more extraordinary longevity is stated to have attained the age of 106 years. She died in the Marylebone workhouse on the 31st Aug., and Mr. doceph, who registered her death, was in formed that she had been there 34 years, and that her son is now living, who is 84 years old. ,She had been formerly cook in a nobleman's family. Last week the births of 827 boys and 807 girls, in all 1,634 children, were registered in London. In the tee corresponding weeks of the years 1846.55 the average number was 1,451. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.847 in. The mean daily reading was above SO in. on Wednesday and Thursday. • The highest reading in the week occurred on the former day, and was 30.17 deg. The mean tempera ture of the week was 57.5 deg., which is 1 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years (as determined. by Mr. Glaisher). The - highest reading occurred on Sun day (31st Aug.), and was 74 deg. ; the lowest was 42.8 deg., and occurred on Wednesday. The highest reading in the sun was 93.5 deg. on Thursday. The mean de A' point temperature was 43.8 deg., and the difference be tween this and the mean temperature of the a's. was 8.7 deg. The paean temperature of the water of the Thames was 62.7. The wind blew generally from the east on the lest three days. The rain in the week was 0.0 in. It fell heavily on the night of Saturday. The Coroner said that the stomach and intestines had been sent to Mr. Rogers, of St. George's Hospital Medi cal School, with a view to discover by analysis whether any narcotic poison had been used that might have destroyed life, and that gentleman had reported that nothing of the kind was to be found. Under these circumstances and as the case at present stood, the jury were now in a position to pr.e.tetel to the con sideration of their verdict. The evidence was not so clear on many points as could have been wished, but they could not manufacture witnesses. There was great credit due to the inspector and sergeant of po lice for the very creditable way in which they had con ducted the case, and evidence had been forthcoming which was of some value. The jury must recollect that it had been proved in evidence that the body was found oa Monday, the 28th July, in the River Thames, oppo site Thames Ditton, The first witness willed was a wa terman, named Tegg, who saw that a hand was first seen appearing on the surface of the water, and then sinking, and afterwards the body of the deceased man, which has been proved to have been that of Levy Solemons. It appears that he was 34 years of age, and in theyear 1853 had gone to Australia on a mission for Mr. Davis, a china warehouseman, of Tottenham-court-road ; and he had returned to England between fire and six weeks be. fere his body had been found. There had been various parties before the jury as witnesses who had seen him. Beth Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Ungley had said that he had slept at their houses. He was with his uncle, Mr. Ar nold, for one month, and both Mr. and Mrs. Arnold had said that he left their house on Thursday morniug, the 24th July, and that was the last evidence they bed had of him being seen alive. Where he bad been and what he had been doing from that day until the day ha had re ceived his fatal wound there was no evidence whatever. The witness Jeffreys had been with him at a public house, where Solomons was calling for brandy and drink ing exoessively. Immediately after leaving his home on that Thursday morning he was seen to pull out a purse containing 15 or 16 sovereigns, and the disappearance of that money, coupled with the wounds on the body, had led to the impression that he had been murdered. If these wounds had been caused by stabs it would then have been quite clear that the deceased had lost his life by the hand of an assassin, for it would have been also quite clear that he could not have inflicted those wounds himself, as any one of the three must have been mortal, and, after having inflicted one wound he could not have had the power to have inflicted the second. Dr. Garrett hal discovered 11 shots in the lungs and intestines, and these were to be accounted for. Now, it appeared that the deceased was a man of very unfor tunate habits, as several witnesses had spoken to his drinking to very great excess. He was constantly dis playing a dagger and pistol, both of which had been taken from him by Mrs. Gray. Up to the 21st of July be had a pistol and large shot in his possession, and re marked when in company with another witness, to whom he showed it, " See, this is the way we colonists trsvel." His friend, having apprehen,ione of danger, asked him to fire the pistol off, which he did. After this it had been shown that he had a powder flak and 20 shots with him. He had threatened to take away hie own life, the life of his sister, and that of Mr. Davis, adding t e that by further threatening to "make two widows at one shot." Mrs. Tyler had stated that the deceased had been at her house raving after brandy. He bad bitten a piece out of the tumbler which was before the jury, and chewed and masticated it so much that his month had bled, thereby showing beyond doubt that the man was not in a right state of mind. The man was nothing else than a resdrnan, and they could come to no other conclusion, at least he (the Coroner) thought not. Evi dence had been given that the deceased had died in core sequence of the wounds which had been inflicted upO.i hint in the heart. It was impossible to say what be might have done with his property between the time of his leavi ng h ome on the Thu r sd a y morn i ng and his de stroying himself. On that point there was no evidence whatever. There had been no evidence to show what had become of him from Thursday, the 24th July, up to the 28th, the day his body had been found in the River I Thames. He might have destroyed himself before be The girl was now subjected to a long and severe cross examination by Mr. Lewis. She stated that the defend ant, on enteri, g the house, inquired it her mistress was at home, and she told him no. When he took her up in his arms they were in the front sitting-room. She ' screamed and kicked him. Loud screams might be heard in the street. She might have scratched his eyes out, and now regretted that she did not do so. She did nut like t) scratch his face, it would have disfigured him so much. He held her upon the bed a quarter of an hour. She afterwards washed her face, but did not comb her hair, and make herself look as smart as ever. Would swear she did not comb her hair. Did not smooth down her dress. It was not rumpled. Her mistress cams home about half-past nine. Did not tell her then, as she was poorly, and thought it would upset her. Did not tell her the first morning, not liking to do so till her master was gone. To )1e up a letter to Mr. Michel about nine o'clock, and laid it upon the table ; and afterwards took up hie breakfast things. Did not speak to him. Abouta quarter to 11, when her mistress desired her to take up two eggs to him, she refused, stating that she could not wait upon that gentleman again. She then told Mrs. Francis what took place the previous night, and her mistress advised her to go home to her mother. She did so in the even ing, but could not find the heart to tell her mother, but said to her, " Mrs. Francis wants to speak to you, mother." On Friday morning her mother called on Mrs. Francis, who was the first to tell her. She (complainant) ' told it afterwards, and her mother said she would take steps about it •n Monday. But she returned two hours after with a policeman, and gave Mr. Michel into custody. Daring all the time between tie Tuesday night and Friday morning she (complainant) con tinuos to wait upon Mr. Michel, but never spoke to him about hie illeaeage. Would swear that she was not in the habit of having young men to see her. Once, about a fortnight before this occur rence, a friend of hers, a boy about 16, walked home with her on Sunday evening. He was a cousin, named Tom Collins, and lived in Crane.court, Fleet-street. He was a printer, and she had been. to see him. He walked home with her because it was late—a quarter to ten, and she feared her mistress would be angry. That was the only time he ever came with her to the house. She had not seen him since, she would swear. Mrs. Francis, complainant's mistress, confirmed the girl's statement relative to her absence on the night in question, the interview with the mother, Sec. She made defendant's bed always, but saw nothing to excite sus picion. Cross-examined—She was much shocked on hearing the girl's statement, and advised her to go home to her mother. Was not aware, if the girl told her directly she returned home the previous night, that it would have shocked her more. She was ill, but net so ill as that. Examined the girl's linen, but saw nothing. Pe collected the complainant's coming home with a youth on the Sunday week previous, and she stated that it was her cousin. That was ten days before this occurrence. Allowed the girl to continue to wait ou Mr. Michel, but kept watch upon her. By Mr. Jardine—gr. Michel only took breakfast at home, and was out all day. Lie returned on Wednes• day, at about six, to dress, and then went out again. Her reason for not taking up the matter was that she thought the girl's mother was the fittest person to do so. Ellen Lyons, complainant's mother, a widow, stated that she lived at 5, F I rent. Holleran and had had 11 WOO( • • one room for five years. Her daughter never told her a word of what the "beast" had done, but desired her to call on Mrs. Francis, wishing her to tell it, which she did on Friday morning. Cress-examined—The girl has no young man acquaint. ance, My husband had a cousin named Mike Collins, a plasterer, but he was fifty, and never had a child.. I can swear the child has never had a young cousin named Tom Collins. (This witness had been out of court during the examination of her daughter.) Mr. Coates, the surgeon who examined the girl on Fri• When any of these cletee fall on a Sunday, the mails will be spatehed on the following day, with the exception of the India ''onthampton), and the Malta, both of which will be despatched preceding day. MLLT&, Aug. 28.—Capt. Thomas Graves, R.N., W be seas stabbed by a boatman on Monday, expired this morning at 8 a . m . A post-mortem examination vllll take place this evening at 5 p.m. There is, I regret to -ay, a general fear that the governor will not be firs); but, under Rome plea or other, will let the murderer 05 from being banged.

W e have a firm, determined, and clever chief secretary, and he is looked o p t o, to see that strict jnetice is don.. f some example be not made, none will ,feel safe from th e stiletto of the assassin.

That ceremony having nraw terminated, some particular g will probably soon tray spire with regard to tie conterw plated concessions for railways and other public worker A large business is going on in all kinds of produce at prices that must 'brave a large profit to the growers. The shipments of w . lheat from the Sea of Azoff are still considerable, and France takes the greater portion of them. " It seems proper to refer to the Chiboque, Bashirtje, and Bangaula, who , treated us more scurvily than any I had previously met with in Africa. Sometimes they level led their guns at us, and seemed as if we must fight to prevent entire plunder and reduction to slavery. But I thank God we did them no harm, and no one need fear vengeance on our account. A few more visits on the same principle would render them as safe as all other tribes, concerning which it may be confidently stated, that if one behaves as a Christian and a gentleman ho will invariably be treated as such. Con . :.rary conduct will give rise to re marks and treatment of scorn. " LANGUAGES. "I may have dwelt too long on the foregoing topic, but you will at once perceive it has a most important bearing on our missionary prospects. The great humidity produced by quick evaporation from such a vast expanse of water and marsh, the exuberant vegetation caused by fervid heat, and a perfect flood of light in a rich moist soil, and the pro digious amount of decaying vegetable matter annually ex posed after the inundations to the fervid rays of the torrid sun, with a fiat surface often covered with forest, and little wind, except at one season of the year, all combine to ren der the climate far from salubrious for any portion of the human family. I really do not desire to deepen those dark colours in which the climate of certain parts of Africa has been portrayed ; but in dealing, even prospectively, with that sacred thing, human life, it is necessary to be con scientiously explicit. Take the experience of the aako lolo, who are composed of Basutas, Bikwaine, and the Barnangnata. They came from a dry climate, then which there are few more salubrious in the world. They have not been 20 years in this quarter, but so great has been the mortality among the mon, that the tribe presents all the appearance of being destined, at no distaet day, to extinction. I have heard Sebituane (Sebitane, his own people call him), and many others, complain of the number of children who have been cut off by fever. The Barotso, Batoka, Bashibca, &0., who belong to the true negro race, now constitute the body of the tribe ; those who c_in boast of being pure 3,r a.kololo are considered the aristocracy, and a mere handful. Th e negroes differ from the Bachuar:as in being very prolific. Every village we entered in the north swarmed with children. This, perhaps, explains why, not withstanding all their wars, kidnappi ng , s l av e-sellinc and mom tality by fever, they are !Inch an inaperidaabh ) race I supposed the mortality to be considerable among them, because many with whom we formed ac quaintancs,ebip in going north were in their graves when we returned; but we saw many aged men too. "Having given the dark side of the picture first the im presaion may have been produced that it can have no other Before deciding let me try and give the brighter phase a s fairly. No one seeing the country around Linyanti or hesheke could form an idea of what it becomes furthe " Reference has been made to the Berets°, Batoka, &e., as of the true negro race which occupies the interior of the continent. By their subjection to the Makololo, they have acquired considerable knowledge of the Siehuana language. We have thus a very important field open in a tongue Into which the whole of the Sacred Scriptures will, it is hoped, soon be trans!ated. And the time necessary for learning and reducing the negro language may not be b area as is usually the case. The Berets°, Betake, Balonda, and Ambonda dialects (or language spoken by the Angolese), with those spoken in Luba and beyond, as also those of people on the east coast, are all undoubtedly cognate with the Beehuaua tongue and Kafir. The very considerable number of words exactly alike or only slightly varied in their inflections, can only be explained ou the hypothesis, for there has been no intercourse between those tribes, at least for centuries past. Each of the negro tribes readily learns the languag e o f th e others. Theßechrianae, how ever, often fail to acquire that of the negroel, thou eh living among them. Yet my companions ecqui •e,l it iu Angola to readily as I could a smattering of Portuguese, a nd failed entirely in thelatter. The influence of the Sacred Scriptures in the true negro language will be immense. If we call the actual amount of conversion the direct results of missions, and the wide diffusion of better principles the indirect, I have no hesitation in as serting that the latter are of infinitely more im portance than the former. I do not undervalue the im portance of the conversion and salvation of the most abject creature that breathes; it is of overwhelming worth to him pers viewing our work of wide Bow l eg of t h e seed, all B good on rela a t t irely to the harvest which will be reepee when all our heads are low, there can, I think, be no com parison. " It might be premature to contemplate the probability of any results from the circulation of tho edition of the Testament which was furnished to Par t •k a ,• but tlmArabs circum stances are somewhat similar, seeing that a have met with are able to read and write. We may accom plish that which he was not permitted to do. It will, at all events, be working in the right direction. "OPENINGS FOR TRADE AND FOR THE ULTIMATE SPREAD OF CIVI.
