" 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 glass in 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

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
subject to
hysterical fits. Witness went into a back parlour, 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 travel-
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 leaving home on the Thursday morning 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•

preceding day.

liberately-planned ' murder, the man having for seine
time past acted in an eccentric manner—shaving off one
side of his whiskers, allowing the other to grow, and dir
ing various things to make it appear he was not in hie
senses, and such, we hear, is to be his plan of defence'

" 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. The 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, kidnapping, slave-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 acquaintancs,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 as

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 language of the 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,
and 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

" It might be premature to contemplate the probability
of any results from the circulation of tho edition of the
Testament which was furnished to Part•ka ,• but tlmArabs circum-
stances are somewhat similar, seeing that a

events, be working in the right direction.
