'~ '• In closing our remarks, there is one fact which we have learned respecting the seamen of the Galathea that speaks volumes in favor of the education of the common people among the Danes. We are informed that a majority of the seamen have kept journals of their cruise, and there is not probably one on board who is unable to read and write. The same remark cannot be made in regard to the crew of any othernational vessel that has waters, ever visited ourisrahsi ■ THE DANISH SETTLEMENT OF SERAMPORE TRANSFERRED TO THE E.I. COMPANY On the 9th of last October the English flag was hoisted at Serampore, and the Danish rule ceased. If we have been correctly informed, the East India Company paid about the sum of $600,000 to the Danish Government for the settlement. There are some historical facts connected with the Danish Government at Serampore worthy of being remembered. It is well known that when the English Baptist missionaries first went out to India, they were very much opposed by the East India Company. They were not allowed to prosecute their labors within the British dominions! Cary, Ward, Marshman and others ofkindred spirit found an asylum in Serampore, only 14 miles from Calcutta. There they enjoyed protection and favor. To the lasting honor of the Danish Governor let these facts be ever remembered. In the hands of a wise Providence he was instrumental in conferring incalculable blessings upon India. It is the more remarkable that the Danish Governor should have exercised so lenient a policy towards the dissenting missionaries, when in Denmark the laws are now, and for a long time have been, very strict in ohecking the progress of sects dissenting from the Established Lutheran Church. The inquiring reader will naturally be led to ask the reason for the difference between the policy of the Danish Government at home and abroad. A most satisfactory solution of the fact is found in the circumstance, that the Governor of Serampore had enjoyed the instructions of that most excellent Danish mis- sionary, Christian Frederick Schwartz. He was one of those great and rare men that are occasionally raised up by God for the accomplishment of great and good purposes. Now that Serampore has become merged in the vast British empire of India, it is a subject of devout thanksgiving that the settlement is �, THE 165 FRIEND.

About fifteen months since, an American whaler touched at this port, and while lying at anchor in the outer harbor, during the absence of the Captain, the steward stole a bottle of brandy from the medicine chest, and drinking it, became intoxicated and very insulting to the officers and Captain when he returned. As to the guilt of the unfaithful steward there could be no possible doubt. The question arose, how should he be punished ? Probably, nineteen twentieths of the masters would have ordered him to be put in irons, and when sober) siczed up to receive orie, two or three dozen.

Late overland papers contain full reports of the anniversaries in New York City, held during the month of May, commencing on the II th and closing the 17th. The most important were the American Bible, Tract, Education, and Home Missionary Societies. Our narrow limits will only allow us to offer a few remarks in regard to the anniversary of the American Seamen's Friend Society, held on the evening of the 1 lib, at the Tabernacle. The meeting was numerously attended. The number of seamen present was quite large. The President of the Society, Capt. E. Richardson, occupied tho Chair. The annual Report was read by one of the mentable news: On the 3d of May, (Sunday,) about 4 Secretaries, the Rev. .1. Spaulding.

So the sailor, wearied with storms, and rocks, nnd sickly climes, seeks the land; but there he meets with more numerous and powerful enemies, who strive to destroy bitn, both body and soul. Therefore there is necessity for special effort on bis behalf. And there are great encouragements." Then followed the Rev. Dr. Tyng, whose eloquence is braid in the advocacy of every good and worthy object. Dr. T. is successor of the lute Dr. Milnor, of New York. In connection with the anniversary ofthe Seamen'■ Friend Society, wo would refer to an important convention which was held in New York, composed of the principal seamen's Preachers in the United States. Intelligence respecting tho operations of Seamen's Friend Societies and other kindred institutions in the United States, is most Encouraging. While our hearts are thus made glad with news from the new world, that from the old world is no less cheering. A copy of Wiluicr &. Smith's European Times, for July 2G, now lies upon our table, containing a full report of the laying of the corner stone of the new Sailor's Home, in Liverpool, by Prince Albeit. A further account will appear in a subsequent number of the Friend. Prince Albert's donation for the Home, was JEIOO. The entire cost is estimated at X25.000. On the evening of the 9th a meeting friends ol" Mr. Wilcox's Select School ofthe was held at tho school room. Judge Turi-ill was appointed to preside as chairman, and Mr. Wilcox to act as secretary. After listening to a report of the financial affairs of the school for the term about to close, it was unanimously voted that the school should be continued. Terms were adopted, as may be seen in advertisement. Rev. S. C. Damon and J. B. DcFiennes, Esq., were appointed a committee to act in concert with Mr. Wilcox, to conduct the financial and other affairs ofthe school. It is sincerely hoped that the school will open with a sufficient number of scholars to meet its necessary expenses.
