CHINA.-One of the most interesting
AMI satisfactory communications received
from this country is the following, receIv-
ed from Br. Shuck by The the recent arrI-
val of the ship Helena, in hundred and
five days. 1t presents the very lntorma-
ton one wants; and as the Britannia brings
intelligence OF the settlement of difficulties
between Enc land and China, and the per-
manent cesson of the Island OF Hong
Kong TO the former, we may consider the
present location of Br. Shuck as not TO be
disturbed, but that missionary operations
in that pop1lous region will now GO on
without apprehension or fear. Nothing
Of equal interest has transpired In long
time, and we give il under the editorial
head. We see in this the wonderful prov.
idence Of God in everything the wrath and
cupdity of man for the promotion of his
own cause and kingdom in the world
