lace. The following are extracts rom it,
"sThc reason ofour being az Bombay rafhs
Or Than Mabim, is. that since Mr. FrOst's death
ia October last, there was no other family but
ours 10 which it was convenient to have the
boarding school. This is school in which
the children of European fathers are boarded
ia Our family and instructed in English, now
by sister Frost, who also lives with US. AS
the guardians afford insufficient compensation,
the mission was Induced, when Brs. Nichols
and Frost were living, 70 establish the school,
partly as an assistance to the Board in sup
porting the mission, and partly as the means
Of benehtting the souls Of the children, and
through them promoting true religion ID the
country. But since we have had personal ex-
lperience III the domestic mar agement of the
tcliildren we are led to think it quite inexpe-
dent, especially considering our feeble and
greatly Unmatched number, sto continue the
establishments. And we have now appointed
a time {June next) for its discontinuance.-.
I. Besides the school, another reason of our COM
ling to Bombay, was, that might be nearer
4 the press, to- assist more conveniently in cor
fecting proof sheets. Our Mallratta New Tes-
lament is now finished. WhetherI shall re-
lnain in Bombay any long time, If spared, is
I not certain. A-

and was about to say that Mr.. Hall is the only
q ordained missionary besides myself in Bonn
bay, my dear wife, who was in the room, ex-
claimed, Mr.,Hall is dead News was brought
in note which the young man (,yho attended
him on a preaching touf) wrote from the place
wheresour dear brother died. He had the
cholera morbus, and was i'll but eight hours.
He died probably a hundred miles from us on
the continent, He was highly and justly esz
icen1ed by us, and we can scarcely admit the
Thought that he is gone; butshe is, and we
submit knowing that we must shortly follow
/ him, and that the labours which he was per-
rnltted to perform, were precious in the sight
of our Saviour, to whom he has no doubt
gone. He seemed for several years past, par
ticularly familiar in the contemplation of
death. Mrs. Hall and their dear boys are now
in America. May they be prepared for this
distressing news. ass vseg N ,s
now enjoy but poor health. I have but
little flesh, and no great strength Of lungs or
body in general What must now do IS al
most too much for me, and what must be neg
lected for want Of labourers is overwhelming
to consider. Rupert and Fairhave have mon
ey enough,-haye they no missionaries? lei
they have none, they should mourn for the
ness and darkness. Do not the churches for
get that one missionary is not a supply for
millions, and do they not forget that we cam
not continue by reason of death Not sister
has yet died from this mission, but four breth-
rem rest from their labours. A. GRAVES.
Eulogies.-D. F. Robinson s. Co. and Nor
tonsS Russell, Of this city, have in press, and
will soon publish, a selection of the best of
the Eulogies pronounced ia honour Of the de-
ceased adams and Jefferson. The utility and
value of this work cannot be questioned, and
probably no volume has ever issued from the
American press which concentrated in as ma
NY pagesso great variety of talent, and on
a more interesting subject. AS this edition is
probably the only one that will be published,
and the number of copies limited, il would be
well for those who desire to procure the work,
to forward their orders to the publishers inn

That it will bessa rare and valuable book,
such an one as should be placed in the hands
of every American Citizen, no one can doubts
The edition that was published of those Eu-
logies that were called forth in various parts
of the country onsthe death. of Washington,
have become rare, and we do not know that
one could be now obtained in any Market
The present work tossay the least, would be
as valuable, and we imagine that every one
possessing sufficient patriotism, would do well
to avail himself of this opportunity, Of pYocu-
