soon, which now takes place, is often &C
companied with severe squalls; but these
coasting vessels have little fear of them,
and never lay up on that account. Often
the season passes without any that are Sc
rious, as il has this year. We had two or
three fiurries, with rain, but they helped
US on powerfully, and the l7th (of May)
found me at Rangoon, without accident
The entrance Of the river, though six
miles wide, is difficult to find, the channel
very narrow, and the coast very shoal for
a great distance above and below : while
a perfectly fat shore, scarcely above high
tides, gives the mariner no certain land
marks. There are no pilots to be had, but
by sending a boat to the city. On one
point Is a cluster Of trees which has been
called "thc elephant" from a fancied re-
semblance to that animal; but my imagin-
alton was too dull to discern any such
shape. The sands have extended some
miles to the southwark, since the coast
was hrst surveyed.
Having passed the ordeal of the Gus
tom-house, without any special vexations,
found Messrs. Webb and Howard, with
their wives, in usual health, and received
from them kind and cordial reception.
The name of Rangoon is so conspicu-
Gus in the annals of our mission, and &C.
ours so often in the variations Of travel

REVEALS.
From the New-York Evangelist.

R1cHMoND,VT.-Dear brother Leavitt:
God has in great mercy visited this long
desolate place. The little church here
has existed for 80 years amidst difficult
ties to which few churches in our land
have been called. Composed of between
80 and 40 members, and four-fifths Of
these females, destitute of regular preach
ing, except occasionally few weeks or
months at time, and these like angels
visits, few and far between" surrounded
with every species of error, and borne
down by the current of public prejudice,
they were just ready 70 yield uPthe ghost,
when God appeared in majesty to "stilI
the enemy and the avenger."
The change is truly cheering. The
church has increased within the year to
81 members; having received 20 during
the year, % at one time, during a pro-
tracted meeting, in which We had the ac-
ceptable and profitable assistance OF Br.
Kellogg and some of his Aaron's and
Hur's. God was with US, and numbers
submitted to him and give pleasing evil
dence of piety. Seven or eli ght of them
have given in a relation Of their expert
ence, and 20 or more we hope will soon
come in and unite with the church,
God is evidently with u.s. Our meetings
are we'll attended and solemn. A gene
raj seriousness seems to prevail. Tenn
perance is on the increase, and other be-
nevolent objects are beginning to be
thought Of We request prayers Of all
who pray, that God will still bless this
place and save the pershing
New ALBANY, IA.-SylvesteI Scovel,
General Agent for the West Of the Assem-.
bly's Board of Missions, writes in the
Lo uisville Herald:
1t has been my privilege to labor for a
few DAYS past amidst delightful work OF
grace in New Albany, Indiana The
subjects of the work are from middlefage
down to very childhood: and would prob
ably number about seventy-fve. The
means employed, have been frequent
preaching, earnest prayer, and personal
conversation. In the hands of the bless
ed Spirit these means have been efecual
to considerable portion of the subjects OIL
the work; and they are " rejoicing in the
hope of the glory of God" The work
thus far has been still, Deep and though
evincing to the observer no excitement be
yond the all-prevading solemnity, and the
silent y falling tear. Dear reader, Join
me in one fervent prayer for the progress
of this work, and that our Covenant God
will send such refreshings from his pres.
ence on all our churches.
