now bat one opinion here as to The re-
suit OF the undertaking, and that in a
Few days they will have proceeded so
far az TO render further exertinns on
the part of Ferdinand useless. Az
counts now from all parts of Spain,
speaking of revoits and open declara-

confirm the belief that was FIRST enter

neral; but, owing TO some movemt mt

They saw but little effect upon their la

CEYLON MISSION.

We are happy TO state that intelligence
has been recently received 10 this city
from the Missionaries who sailed from this
country to India in June last. Letters
from Mr.. and Mrs. Winslow, and DR.
Scudder and his wife, were dated on board
the Indus, and dated Bay Of Bengal, DC
tober 9th, and post-marked Calcutta, DC.
tober 26th, 1910. The Missionaries have
forwarded TO the American Board of Mis-
sions particular Journal Of their voyage
for publication; we shall therefore confine
ourselves to brief summary of their
contents.
The voyage had been generally very
pleasant and prosperous, excepting for a
few days, when they were in some danger
from severe gale, which drove them Out
OF their course, near the coast OF Africa.
This was followed by a storm of lig htniug
rain and hail. The awful grandeur OF
which, says one Of the females, mocks all
description. The variety of scenery pre-
sented BY the ocean, particularly when
the waves appear TO be on fire, and when
they mount up to Heaven and 20 down
again TO the depths, is worth witnessing.
The majesty and power Of God has never
appeared TO me SO overwhelming as since

REVIVAL OF RELIGION.

Every sincere Christian will rejoice at
the unusual work of reformation which is
now going on in many parts Of the coun-
try. In this vicinity, aud particularly in
this town, the effasions of divine grace
have been copious and extensive. The
ordinance of baptism was yesterday adj
ministered to nearly forty persons, by the
Reverend Messrs. Gano and Tobey; aud
there probably has been an accession to
the different churches in this town, within
few weeks of nearly one hundred. The
work has extended TO persons Of different
ages, though principally to the young,
and has been attended by demonstra-
tons Of the spirit and Of power" which
must confound the sceptic, and should ar
rest the attention Of the careless.
