Proceedings of the Church Missionary Society for Africa and the East...

he told me, that they had agreed to go to the Sherbro' Country to preach, after the solemnization of the marriage. This is an instance of rare occurrence, that persons who have been benefitted by the Gospel, in this Colony, have, of their own accord, gone to neighbouring tribes to preach the Gospel of Christ. The Mahomedans all around are labouring to persuade Gentiles to embrace their creed; while nothing is done by Christians to prepare the way for the introduction of Christianity. It has often occurred to my mind, that Waterloo ought to be taken up by the Society as a Missionary Station; not only because of its large population, but also on account of the facilities which it affords to the Missionary residing there, to do something, however small, for the Sherbro' Country. must live in hope of seeing Sierra Leone well supplied, and Christ's Church like a city on a hill; and then we may be sure it will shine around, and that surrounding heathens will stretch out their hands for help.

We close with some remarks made by Mr. Collins on the

General Improvement in the State of

African Society.

The village of Wellington, including four Hamlets, contains a population of 3400 souls. It is really surprising, knowing the great variety of character and disposition of the people who compose this village, consisting as it does of Natives of from twenty to thirty different languages, gathered from among the sa

vage tribes of Africa, to find with what apparent peace and harmony they live together, and to witness the order and regularity that pervades the village. A stranger, after reading Landers' description of an African Village, in their Journal of an Expedition to explore the Course of the Niger, would, upon coming to Sierra Leone, be pleasingly disappointed at observing the striking contrast which a village in this Colony presents, to those described by those enterprising travellers. "In Africa," say they, "whether one is sick or well, it is exactly the same: nothing like peace and quietness is any where to be found." This, however, cannot be said of Sierra Leone, although in Africa; where, perhaps, generally speaking, as much order and quiet prevail in the villages, as in those of England. Religion, by restraining the unruly wills, and softening the savage dispositions of those who have been brought under its influence, undoubtedly has done much toward bringing the Colony to its present peaceful condition: still much credit is due to the right application of the mild and equitable laws of our country, the enforcing of which tends much, under the blessing of God, to the maintenance of quiet and good order amongst us.

RECENT INTELLIGENCE.

South Africa Mission - The Rev. F. Owen (p.143), in a Letter dated Buntingville, Caffreland, June 5th, 1837, informs us, that he, with Mrs. and Miss Owen, arrived at that place on the 1st of June, in health and safety; and that they expected to leave for Natal in a day or two.

An Association has been formed at Graham's Town for promoting the objects of the Society in Southern Africa, designated The Albany Church Missionary Association."

South-India Mission--In consequence of Mrs. Applegate's health, Mr. Applegate's Station has been changed from Palamcottah to Mayaveram. They arrived there, from the Nilgherry Hills (p.18), on the 27th of May last. Mrs. Applegate's health had improved.

Ceylon Mission-By a Letter from the Rev. J. Bailey, dated Cotta, April 8, 1837, we learn, that the Rev. G. C. Trimnell has returned to his Station at Baddagame much improved in health (p. 119). The Rev. T. Browning has been obliged to leave his Station, for the Hills at Nuwera Ellia, in consequence of Mrs. Browning's ill state of health.

Australasia Mission-The painful intelligence has reached us of the death of Mrs. Davis, wife of Mr. R. Davis, on the 1st of February last, after a short illness. We subjoin the following Extracts of Letters to the Rev. J. N. Coleman, dated Feb. 1837, respecting the removal of this valuable woman. The Rev. H. Williams remarks:

On the 1st instant, the overwhelming news

216

RECENT INTELLIGENCE.was communicated to us, that Mrs. Davis, after about twenty hours' illness, had closed her life. This is the first of our Mission Family that has died, after so many years, in this dark and savage land. Our Heavenly Father has indeed been very gracious to us all, in having thus spared the various heads of families during the years which are past. We could not but sympathize deeply with our afflicted Brother and the family; and trust the solemn season may be sanctified to all. In Mrs. Davis, her husband has lost an affectionate wife, the children a tender parent, the members of the Mission an esteemed and beloved sister, and the Natives around a kind and affectionate mother. She was a mother in our Israel. Her attention to all was very great, particularly to the sick. Her house was always open, and her hand ready

to administer to the wants of those who needed. I fear it will be long before our friend will recover from this deep affliction. Though he has long held close communion with his God and Saviour, yet nature appears to yield.

Mr. Davis himself writes

Death is only the door which admits the Believer's soul to glory. This, I firmly trust, my dear wife-the beloved wife of my youth -experienced on the 1st instant. Her illness was only of about twenty-one hours' continuation: the disease, the common cholera. Several of us had been attacked by it; but my dearest wife has only yet fallen a victim to it. The best medical advice we have was at hand, but all to no purpose: the word was gone forth, and who could reverse it?
