troops are expected to leave this place on the goth ofthis month, and the town is in a wretched state and filled with robbers. I hope to be able to commence a Burman female School soon after our arrival in Amherst. We both enjoy excellent health at present, and desire nothing so much as as be settled where we may be use- full"
 We learn further, by the Rev. MT. Yates, that in the Church at Calcutta, of which he is pastor, 30 were added in the last year. His place is supplied for the present by two brethren in the ministry from England, occasional labours of the Rev. MT. Boardman who with Mrs. Board- man is still in Calcutta. MT. and Mrs. Hough are also in this city.
 A short time before Mr. Yates left Call cutta, he had the pleasure of seeing the venerable Dr. Carey, who enjoyed un- common health, and who was able to per- form his accustomed labours, and to preach with great acceptance. The college at Serampore was in a prosperous state.
 There are m the city of flCalcutta, in- cluding the church at Fort William, seven protestant churches :; 4 of the English es- tablishment, two of the Baptist denomina- ton, and one of Presbyterians.
 The circulation of the Bible in India, and the increasing means of literary and religious information are operating, though silently, a most wonderful moral renova- ton in that extensive country. The uni form influence of literature and science is, the destruction of idolatry, even where Christian religion is not embraced. One instance not long since in which Hindoo of large property, the owner of an idol temple, removed the abomination from the buildiug-destroying the idol, and de- molishing the ,emple,-The circumstance produced in the vicinity great excite ment. .,.
 The Hindoo College in Calcutta, who'll ly supported by the natives, is indirectly doing much good, by scattering informa- ton. Its number of students is believed to exceed 200 and although the princi- ples of Christianity are not acknowledged l the literature and science which this estab- lishment teaches are favorable to civiliza- ton, and calculated to bring idolatry into the most perfect contempt.-ChristiaR W0tcansdn.

This was an indictment for libel, alleged TO hay
been published in the Long Island Patriot of whc
paper the defendant was proprietor. The alledg
libel held up to dersion three magistrates Of tll
county of Kings, before whom an application ba
been heard on behalf ofcertain apprentices ofthe Dc
fendant TO be released from their indentures, ic
maltreatmt Mt by their master.
The indictment charged the defendant with scat
dalizing William Hageman, Thomas Hageman I'D
John Rcmsen, Esqrs. who we're at the time Of t
publication, acting magistrates OF the county
Kings both in their individual and maglsterial caps
cities.
| The indictment came on to trial before his hon
| Judge Edwards, and his associates, at the last NU
Circuit at Flatbush when the cause having bee
opened by MIR. Lockwood on the part of the prose
cution, the publication was admitted by the deia
dant, and VIM. Hageman and Samuel Smith, Esqn
were called upon as witnesses on behalf of the pro-
ecution. The defendant did not pretend to iustf
the truth of the publication, but through his comn
strongly urged the unshachled freedom of the preS
and that slight encroachncnts upon the characcroI
individuals, should rather be Hnked at, than its I'LL
erty be curtailed. The council for the prosecuic
urged, that while IFS liberty should not be unEe|
strained, when it became licentous, it was the MOD
dangerous weapon that could be welded in society
The Judge, in submitting the cause to the jury
animadverted in very pointed language upon I'D
character OF the libel, and its evil tendency in sd
ciety, and particularly submitted 10 them, that
person crrng in the performance of his judicial do
ties, should be liable to apprehension in a public
journal; OF If upon every supposed error, he was
to be arraigned before the public and libelled d
ridculed, no person would consent to act in the ca
pacity of magistrate.
The Jury, without hesitation, found the deien
dant guilty of the charges alleged in the indictment
and the court, on the succeeding day, caused theds

, appropriate remarks by the presiding Judge, ad

the sentence until the next term, to give the defn
dant an opportunity to make an apology to the com
