\ plation to send vessel, with several ma.
tives Of the Sandwich Islands, and NUM-
Der of our own countrymen, to those ISL
ands, in the month Of October next, for
the purpose of attempting TO introduce a.
mong them knowledge Of Christianity
and the arts of civilized life. 1t is well
known shat a number of young men from
Ahose Islands, who have from time to time
4 been brought into the United States, have
\ been collected together and placed in q
school established at Cornwall, in the
state of Connecticut, where they have
been instructed in the necessary sciences,
and in the doctrines Of Christianity, for
The purpose of qualifying them to become
teachers Of their countrymen. Among
these was Obookiah, whose lamented
death has been mentioned heretofore, and
whose short but interesting biography has
been published, and Is we'll known TO the
4 public. Three others, one Of them the
Companion Of Obookiah, viz. Thomas
Hoopoo, are considered as now capable Of
commencing the business of instructine
their countrymen, and are to go out in the
vessel from Boston. Notice is given o.
the intended mission, and contributions Of
, q sea stores, books, medicines, implements
of husbandyy, &C." are solicited in diff

II 10 send to these heather the knowledge o.
the Christian religion.
We hope aud trust this subject viii

aid, and the feryent prayers of all good
people, in every part ofthe country. The
astonishing success of missionary attempts
among other nations in that part Of thu
world, particularly at 0taheite, and Eli
meo, furnish the most animating hopes te
others of like kind. In the two las
mentioned places, a HUNDRED HOUS

olent person 10 this city will offer his ser
vices TO receive such contributions, ii

furnished in New York, for the purposes
Of the Mission. ID. Adv.
