The income during the year has been £64,508, and the expenditures £69,238. The prospect in the New Hebrides is very dark, but the Samoan churches are prosperous, having 2,000 members. The Georgian Islands are under French dominion; but the Society Isles still enjoy their independence. The stations in South Africa are recovering from the Kaffir war. Beyond the great Orange River there are Madagascar Christians have not ceased; but their numbers still increase. The prospect in the West Indies is on the whole encouraging. There are nineteen European agents in China, who are beginning to gather Christian churches. In India the labors of the missionaries have been blessed, there being in twenty-five churches one thousand communicants, many of whom have been added within the last year. American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Recent Entelligence. CEYLON.-Doct. Green, in a letter dated April 5, writes as follows: "The good work is most evidently making progress, slowly, indeed, for God does all things without haste; and I cannot but hope that before another century the sun will rise upon Christian Jaffna, and that this little spot, with its Puritan institutions, the village church and school, will send out influences to SOUTH AFRICA.-Mr. A. Grout, under date to speak of the Lord's goodness in continuing of February 11, says: "We have still occasion among the people around us an interest in spiritual things. At this place we have a few recent cases; and all who have joined our church, cheer us by their firm attachment to the truth. So far as I know, Doct. Adams has the same report to make. Mr. Lindley says he has just baptized leaven India." In speaking of his medical prac-jects of renewing grace. And Mr. L. Grout bas nine, and he looks upon others as hopeful subtice, he says that the number of native cases, attended and registered by him, amount to about three thousand. In addition to his medical prescriptions, he addresses his patients on the malady of the soul, and gives them tracts to read. "I have adopted," he adds, "a suggestion of my class-mate, Doct. House, now of Bangkok, which he received from Doct. McGowan; namely, to have tickets printed in Tamil, each containing a synopsis of the gospel, as also some directions for patients. These are to be kept and brought to me whenever any of them come again for medicine. By thus keeping the truth for some time in their hands, I hope that some may read to their profit." Doct. Green's medical class, consisting of three pupils, are now in their second year of medical study, and are making fair progress. MADURA.—The cholera has entered the family of Mr. Webb, and attacked him and his two boys. The Lord in mercy spared the life of the father, but took the children to himself. AHMEDNUGGUR.-Mr. Hazen reports, under date of May 10, the baptism of the gosavee, whose case is mentioned on a preceding page. It is hoped that he may become a useful assistant. He also says: "Several persons attend our services, who appear to be interested in the truth; and I feel that I am encouraged to labor on with more zeal and faithfulness, and to ask more earnestly an interest in the prayers of the people of God, that his blessing may rest on us.' "" several who have for some months given him occasion to hope for them. Here however, as in other places, a revival of God's work excites his enemies. Mr. Lindley has a strong opposition to encounter. The natives call religion 'madness,' and many have agreed not to attend his meetings, fearing lest they also may become mad." WEST AFRICA.-Mr. Bushnell, in a letter, dated April 26, speaks of a recent visit to King George as follows: "I found him quite sick; and I addressed him personally in relation to the interests of his soul. He listened with fixed at tention, and tears started from his eyes and trickled down his sable cheeks. He replied that what I had said was true, and he thanked me for my faithfulness. He felt that he must die at some time, as his fathers had done; and he begged that a missionary might be sent to live his town, and teach him God's fashion proper,' that he might be prepared to die." Mr. Bushnell preached to the people of the town during his visit. CHEROKEES. From a letter of Mr. Worcester, dated June 6, it appears that eight persons have been admitted to the church at Honey Creek on a profession of their faith within the past year, and two at Park Hill. The monthly concert contributions at Park Hill, during the same period, have been more than eighty dollars. Mr. Wor cester also gives an account of three temperance meetings which he has recently attended, showing that efforts in this cause are much blessed among the Cherokees. 수 Mr. Willey states, in a recent letter, that the attendance on public worship has increased in his field of late, and that there are some cases of special interest in the subject of religion. CHOCTAWS.-Mr. Hotchkin wrote, on the 2d of June, that he had admitted forty-four persons to the church on a profession of their faith since the last meeting of the Board, and that he was expecting to receive seven more on the ensuing Sabbath. "You see by this statement," he says, "that the Spirit of God is still with us; and what adds greatly to our joy, is the fact that some of our leading men, who were formerly opposed to the gospel, are now sitting at the feet of Jesus. All our books are gone, except the New Testament, which Mr. Wright completed last summer. A man has been here to-day to obtain books for a Sabbath and day school of forty persons; but we had none for him. He came forty miles." SIOUX. Recent letters from this mission represent the prospects of the Dakotas as still dark and unpromising. "The education fund," as it is called, continues to be a very serious hinderance to their success. By a treaty between the United States and the Indians, $5,000 are to be expendted annually for the benefit of the latter. The traders who accompanied them when the compact was made, affirm that it was not the understanding that this money should be devoted to educational objects; and they have always encouraged the Dakotas to hope that they might obtain it as an annuity, and use it as they please. The officers of the United States government have often told them that the money can be laid out for schools, and for nothing else; still the Indians, in the hope of gaining their end, resist the establishment of schools, and obstruct the efforts of the missionaries in this department of their labors, as in all others. Nor has the opposition of the mass of the people been materially weakened, as they have become more and more acquainted with the plans and aims of our brethren. On the contrary, the prospect of doing them good was never darker than at this very moment, 15 "At Oak Grove," Doct. Williamson says, [where the old chief has always been in favor of education, the school has been entirely stopped; and very few go to meeting, because they are told that such as attend, shall be beaten. And this threat has been executed in at least one instance. We have a small irregular school at Kaposia; and my congregation on the Sabbath averages about twelve; but the chief has taken away his son, who was with us for some two months. He says that he is afraid, if he permits us to keep the lad, his people will kill him for preventing their getting the money promised by the treaty." Doct. Williamson adds, however, "I mention these facts, not in the way of dis 9 00 Chesterfield, Cong. 80. 16 50 12 00-21 00 Cummington, Hubbardsville, m. c. 14 72 East Hampton, m. c. 109 16 Greenwich, For. miss. so.
