A BEEEFIcEYT AcT.-We are pleased to learn
that lchabod Washburn, Esq, has purchased lot
Of ground at the corner Of Summer aud Bridge
streets in this city, upon which he purposes 10
substantial brick .chapel, forty feet wide and eighty
feet deep for The Tree Of the public, for religious
meetings. OHe portion Of the building will be
ranged for dwelling house, for the residence OF the
minister at large OF the Evangelical Churches, who
will be expected to supply the pulpit regularly, he
is paid for his services by the other evangelical
societies. There can be doubt that such an adj
diton to the places Of worship, will be great ben
eft to this rapidly growing city, and there is large
class Of population, who will gratefully ap,
precate this disnerested benevolence, which erect
and dedcates to such uses forever, building Of this
kind. The pew tax in some churches, bears heavi.
ly upon the earnings of the poor, and men and wo-
generally, have much pride to intrude them
selves into the pews of Others though so cor
daily invited il they not able pay their prop
er share 10 sustain the institution Of religious
ship. But this chapel is be free ALL and agains,
il no such objections can be made. We doubt not that
when completed, each succeeding Sabbath will find
many sincere worshppers within its walls and that
The generous donor will find himself twice blest in
carrying out his philanthropc plan of blessing
others

SMALL Pox IN THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Late accounts from the Sandwich Islands affirm
the continued ravages of this disease in those Is
lands, and consequent increase of the ratio of
depopulation which has prevailed for some years
past A letter from missionary at Walahua,
dated November IA, published in the New York
Observer, says that the disease has spread slowly
all over Oahu, with the exception of certain
neighborhoods which remain TO be visited by it,
and that more than half of all the persons that
have been attacked by it have died. Not far
from 1000 members of the Church in Oahu have
died since last May, and the number out of the
Church is much larger than ofthose in it, The
writer says that in Wniahua there are deaths al
most daily, and that vaccination does not afford
any efleclual protection The writer says that
about 800 persons have died from his own field,
of whom nearly 100 were Church members
The writer states a singular fact viz, that there
is popularity in the Hawaiian blood, which
makes vaccination difficult, and entirely imprac-
ticable except by matter taken from little child
rem, which from the scarcity Of that class of the
population there, it is often impossible to procure
A physician skilled in the disease has vacclnated
go or more persons in Waiahua, whom he con-
sidered were protected, from the best of matter
from the arm, but not one out of the 60 exhibited
a single good feature.
