at this time, who are constant attendants at the house of prayer. We hope ere long they will be brought by the "Good Shepherd" into his fold. There are some others who have a hope of pardoned sin, that we think will ask for baptism, perhaps at our next monthly meeting.

July 3. A large number at worship to-day, more than could get seats; solemn attention by most of the congregation; some were deeply affected. 11. My heart was made glad this morning while in conversation with a Creek of note. He introduced the subject, and said, "I want to follow the Lord, and be baptized."

13. Had more conversation this morning with the Creek mentioned the eleventh. He seems very decided and fully prepared to take the oath of allegiance to the King of kings. He has formerly been addicted to drinking, but for six months past has regularly attended worship on Lord's-days, and for about the same length of time, abandoned the cup altogether. I noticed his progress with deep interest.

16. Church meeting, a goodly number of the members met. The Lord granted us his gracious presence while together. The Creek mentioned the eleventh, was present, and related his religious feelings, and desired baptism. The church unanimously received him. 17. An overflowing assembly at worship. The baptismal scene was solemn, and the congregation at the house of prayer was attentive to the word preached.

DEPARTURE OF MISSIONARIES.

The missionaries designated to Greece, (p. 256,) with their wives, Mrs. Hephzibah Sullivan Pasco, of this city, and Mrs. Catharine G. Love, of Coventry, R. I., sailed from this port in the Greek brig, Alexandros, Capt. Alexandro, on Tuesday, Oct. 24, for Patras. Services at their embarkation, Singing; and Prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Hague.

Latest Intelligence from Burmah.

By the ship Eugene, Capt. Hallet, from Calcutta, which arrived at this port the 9th. ult., communications of great interest have been received from Mr. Malcom and the missionaries, which will be published in our next volume.

Our last date from Mr. Malcom, is Rangoon River, May 17. His health continued good, and though the rains had begun, he was expecting to proceed shortly to Pegu, and Bassein, and subsequently to Ava. He would take with him Ko Shoon, to distribute tracts and preach on the way to Ava, and would probably be accompanied by one of the missionaries from Rangoon or Maulmein.

Some of the Mission families were suffering from severe sickness, particularly Mr. Abbott, and the three children of Mr. Bennett; the latter from small pox, and the former from jungle fever. Hope was entertained, May 14, of Mr. A's recovery: the others were decidedly convalescent. Mrs. Bennett's health had been much impaired, by attendance on her children, but it was hoped tem. porarily. The health of Mr. Osgood had been improved by his late excursions, but not fully re-established. Mr. Vinton had not returned from the jungle.

Much apprehension was felt in regard to the prevalence of the small pox at Amherst and Tavoy. Mr. Malcom writes, under date Maulmein, May 14,

I regret to have to say, that since my last, the small pox has broken out at Amherst, and the gentleman into whose house Mr. and Mrs. Haswell were received for a few days, has come up here with it, for medical treatment. It is also spreading into Tavoy, and we fear the Karens in the two schools, and in the theol. school, will fly into the jungle, and break up our interesting plans there for this rains. The children of the missionaries here, have all been vaccinated within a fortnight, with matter fresh from Madras, but not one shows any signs of its taking. It nonplusses all the regimental surgeons, to account for it, but though for many years it has been continually tried, it cannot be made to succeed.

Our last date from Tavoy, is April 5, by journal of Mrs. Wade, who had returned that day from Matah. Messrs. Wade and Mason and Miss Gardner were still at Maulmein.

Mr. Kincaid, with Mrs. K. and her sister, who had arrived there March 27, and proceeded to Maulmein, with Messrs. Webb and Howard, to attend the Missionary Convention, returned to Rangoon, April 9, and soon after set out for Ava. Last date from Rangoon, May 28.

Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls had returned to Maulmein, after being on the water six weeks, trying in vain to reach Arracan.

Death of Rev. Luther Bice,

The Rev. Luther Rice, one of the earliest Missionaries of the Board, and for several years the indefatigable Agent of the General Convention, died in Edgefield District, S. C., September 25, after a short illness, in the 54th year of his age.
