" When he returned to regimental duty, he continued to attend to the religious and moral wants of his company with conscientious care, and assembled them, as opportunity offered, for religious services. Of course tome were displeased with these non-mili' tary' proceedings—as they were called—and various communications adverse to him were made to the Commander-in-Chief, Lord W. Bentinck, and he was described as a straightlaced Saint, a Dissenter, and, withal, a Baptist. Soon after, the adjutancy of the corps became vacant, and Lieutenant Havelock was a candidate for it, and very strenuous efforts were made to prevent his nomination. Mrs. Havelock, who happened to be at Serampore, the regiment being then in the North West, waited on Lord William to solicit the appointment. He said he could not give a reply till the next day. On her calling a second time, he said he had intermediately sent for a«bundle of letters about her husband from Calcutta. They are all hostile to him, but before I read 'them to you I will tell you that I have determined to give the adjutancy to your husband, because he is one of the best officers in Her Majesty's service. I will also show you the reply to these attacks in the return which I ordered, of the state of the company, and I find that there is less drunkenness, less flogging, less imprisonment than in any other;' and then alluding, facetiously, to one of the charges brought against him, said, Go and tell Lieutenant Havelock, with my compliments, that I wish he could make Baptists of the whole army.'" , Bible was not admitted, and the books were uot permitted to contain anything of a religious clmra.-ter. Had they been less fearful of making Christians, they would not have had now to defend themselves against barbarians." , Napier's Opinion of India, 1850.—The army of Bengal, the chief seat of the mutiny, is composed of high caste Brahmins, with their religious dogmas, prejudices and ideas of personal and social superiority. The comparatively tranquil armies of Madras and Bombay are, so to say, of a democratic and less exclusive character. Upon this very subject Sir Charles Napier wrote in 1860:— "The greatest danger in the Indian army is the spirit of caste. In all revolts the Brahmins are the ringleaders." " The system people havehere is to crush the plebeian and to protect the aristocrat who is our mortal enemy. He is our enemy because we take his place; he descends in the social scale, and his head is under our feet. The people if we were to ruin them, are still our friends. On them we must reckon to preserve India.' No one can predict the final result of our conquest; but if we extend our hand to the people, India is ours for centuries to come. Justice, rigorous, severe justice, would work miracles ; it has its basis in the natural desire of men for protection against cruelty, and its foundations are immutable. India would be assured were it thus governed ; but in the the manner we conductourselves there, I am astounded at our keeping it for a single year." In like manner General Jacob denounces the maintenance of caste in the Bengal army, as fomenting mutinous tendencies and bringing in a body of men who care more about their Defense of the India Missionaries. observances of caste prejudices than religious When the mutiny broke out, there were military duty. about their some who were ready to charge the trouble Nena Sahib.—We have read with great upon the missionaries.

That looks as if England were about to do her whole duty to her Empire in the Enst. The Christian principle of that noble, English people has been roused by the discovery of the oft-repeated fact that India has been kept in heathenism by the anti-Christian policy of the Company* and now that the truth has burst upon the public mind, with the roar of the insurrection, the churches of England are rising in their might, demanding an instant change of policy, and preparing to execute on a grand scale the work of evangelizing that benighted land. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel are talking about erecting memorial churches at Delhi and Cawnpore. The Rev. Henry Christopherson, of St. Johns-wood, writes to the London Times to insist that the "memorial" church at Cawnpore should be national, and not erected by an exclusive Society like that for the propagation of the Gospel. The Error in India.—Cardinal Wiseman has been discoursing on India at Salford. On Sunday morning week he made it the theme of a sermon preached at St. John's India." It is necessary that we should read and study past events, and see if we have been governing this nation justly and righteously, as became a Christian people." India's Future. Messrs. Collier and White, the members of Parliament for Plymouth, met their constituents on Monday. The chief topic of observation was, of course, the state of India.

It had been obtained hap-hazard ; it had been used as a digging for the extraction of so much gold ; it had been used to make fortunes, and there had been an immense amount of jobbery and corruption.

Burns being in church one Sunday, and having some difficulty in procuring a seat, a young lady, who perceived him, kindly made room for him in her own pew. The sermon was on the penalties pronounced in the Scriptures upon sinners, and the preacher quoted several passages to enforce his point, to which the lady seemed particularly attentive and somewhat agitated. Burns, on perceiving this, wrote with a pencil on the leaf of a Bible the following lines: youneed not take the hint, " FairNormaid, Idle text pursue i Twas only sinners that he meant.

FEBEUARY 1, 1838 “MORNING STAR.” Just as our paper was going to press, the Morning Star made ils appearance, and we hasten to make a brief report of her successful cruise among the islands of Micronesia. She has been absent about a few days less than six mouths. During her absence she has visited the following islands : Arrived at Strong's Island Sept. 8, and left on the 15th for Ascension, touching at Duperry's. Arrived at Ascension Sept. 23, and there remained 24 days, visiting the different harbors. Left on the 17th, bringing away the wife of Dr. Guliek and children, together with the Rev. Mr. Doane and family. Touching at Duperry's and Mr. Askill's, and reaching Strong's Island the 28th of October, she proceeded to Covel's, or Boston Island, the most southern of the Ralick group, lying N. lat. 4 ° 34, E. long. 168 ° 45—there it was determined to establish a new Mission Station. She then proceeded to Apian, (or Apia or Charlotte's) where another Station was taken, at which the Rev. H. Bingham is located. Remaining a few days at Apian, until a house was fitted up for Mr. Bingham, she then returned to Covel's Island to locate Messrs. Doane and Pierson, with their families. Although reports had been unfavorable, in regard to tho natives of Covel's Island, representing them fierce and treacherous, yet they were found mild, and extremely desirous of having missionaries located among them. While passing through the Ralick group, a new island was discovered, not found as laid down upon any chart. It was less than two miles in circumference, and contained twentythree inhabitants. Its position was N. lat. 8° 15, E. long. 167° 28. The cruise of the Morning Star has been quite successful, and her return a month earlier than was anticipated. We regret that our limits do not allow us to make a more full report. Information Obtained.—In 1851,or seven years ago, we received a letterfrom Mr. J. F. of New Salem, Mass., making enquiry for bi» son, W. F., who had been absent five years. As customary we advertised for the long-lost son. Greatly to our surprise the last mail brought a letter from him, dated " Portland, Oregon Territory." We hope the boy absenting himself thirteen years from home will take the earliest opportunity to return or communicate with his friends. The Day of Humiliation, October 7th. This day was set apart for solemnreligious services, in all the churches of England, on account of the India troubles. Judging from the tenor of the newspapers, the day was kept in a most becoming manner, and worthy of a Christian people. The London Evening Mail, and Weekly Times, of Oct. 7th and 9th, furnishe reports of one hundred and twenty sermons, preached in various churches on that solemn day. The largest assembly gathered at the Crystal Palace, to listen to Kiel 21:27. Read also the Hook of Daniel and Book of Revelation.

In our reading we have met with the following causes assigned for the rising and mutiny of the Sepoys 1. Injurious influence of missionaries. 2. Want of missionary influence. 3.

" If our limits would allow, we might extend this exhibition of important facts in regard to India. Interests are at stake, which lie vastly deeper than those of the East India Company. Politicians and statesmen may have their schemes to accomplish and their ends to promote, but they should remember that God reigns! Bancroft, the historian, has beautifully expressed the correct idea upon this subject : "It is when the hour of conflict is over, that history comes to a right understanding of the strife, and is ready to exclaim " Lo! God is here, and we knew it not.' At the foot of every page in the annals of nations may be written, 'God reigns.' Events, as they pass away, ' proclaim their Original:' and if you will but listen reverently, you may hear the receding centuries, as they roll into the dim distances of departed time, perpetually chanting 'Te Deum Laudamus,' with all the choral voices of the countless congregation nf the i<je." : �13 News from “Isles of the South.” From letters recently received by the French man-of-war, Alcibiade, we learn several interesting items of intelligence.

Protestant Missionaries (English) are making good progress among the natives on the Isle of Pines. They have also gained a permanent footing at Erromango, the spot where Williams was killed, in 1839. Mr. John Barf (sou of the old missionary by that name, at Huahine) has visited England with his family, and returned in the missionary bark John Williams, is about opening a seminary at Tahaa—one of the Society islands—for the purpose of training native pastors. “Music hath Charms to Sooth the savage breast.” During During the late trip of the Morning Star, the fact has been made manifest as noon-day that the dark-minded inhabitants of Polynesia are quick to distinguish between those who traverse ihe ocean burning with lust, and those who go to preach among them the Gospel. Hereafter, when the report is spread abroad that a trading vessel has been seized and the crew cut off, for the credit of white men concerned, an inquiry had better never be instituted, why was it done ? or what was the cause ? We blush for humanity when facts are told us respecting the doings of men from professedly Christian lands. We hope those traversing the ocean will fully understand this fact, that the world is very differently constituted from what it was a few years ago. It now has no dark corners ! The light of public opinion may now be brought to bear upon the remotest spots upon the globe ! News from the remotest parts of the Pacific may, in a few days, be published in the newspapers of London and New York. O, ye, who would make soldiers, scholars, philosophers and scientific men of the heathen, before Christianizing them, we commend to your careful perusal Cardinal Wiseman's remarks, found in another column. Please read what a Catholic considers " the error in India." Protestants think the same —and because they have thought so, some have denounced them as fanatics. The wouldbe-wise men, and political schemers of this world are obliged to learn some truths by terribly dear-bought experience. The infidels and Athiests ofFrance once voted the Sabbath out of existence, and bowed before ,the goddess of Reason, but after they had butchered one another for a few years, a wiser and less infidel generation was glad to allow in theory, at least, that it was best to restore the Sabbath to the people. Thus wrote the poet, and the truth of the sentiment was happily verified during the late cruise of the Morning Star. On approaching a savage island, the inhabitants came off in large numbers singing and chanting their wild songs, and otherwise demonstrating that they were Nature's untutored sons and daughters. The deck of the vessel was filled with natives. While these wild scenes were going forward, Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Bingham and Mrs. Gulick seated on the On the arrival of the Morning Star quarter deck, commenced singing at Covel's Island, inhabited by savages,it was is a happy land, discovered that they had in safe keeping let" There Far, far away," &c. ters for Dr. Pierson, which had been forThe effect was instantaneous and most pleaswarded by whaleship Norman, from Honoing.

CAMPBELL'S RESIDENCE ON OAHU, 1809-1810. [Coutlnucdl During the time I resided with Dsvif, Terremytee, the king's brother, died. His body lay in state for a few days, in the morai; and was afterwards buried, according to custom, in a secret manner. The public mourning that took place on this occasion was of so extraordinary a nature, that, had I not been an eye-witness, I could not have given credit to it. The natives cut off their hair, and went about completely naked. Many of them, particularly the women, disfigured themselves by knocking out their front teeth, and branding their faces with red hot stones, and the small end of calabashes, which they held burning to their faces till a circular mark was produced; whilst, at the same time, a general, I believe I may say an universal, public prostitution of the women took place. The queens and the widow of the deceased alone exempted. When the captain of a ship that lay in the harbor remonstrated with the king upon these disgraceful scenes, he answered that such was the law, and he could not prevent them. About this time an immense water-spout broke in the harbor. It was first observed in the south, about noon. The day was fine, with a clear atmosphere, and nearly calm. When I saw it first, it appeared about the thickness of a ship's mast, reaching from the sea to a heavy dark cloud that hung immediately over it. It approached slowly, the cloud gradually increasing in size. When it came near, we could observe the water ascending in a spiral direction, and the sea round its base boiling up in great agitation. At this time it seemed about the thickness of a hogshead. The tide was fortunately out; and upon crossing the reef, about an hour after its first appearance, the column broke, and such a mass of water fell, that the sea in the harbor was raised at least three feet upon the beach. No squall was experienced, nor did any rain fall. Hundreds of dead fish were picked up upon the reef, and along shore after it broke. I have seen several water-spouts at sea, and one that was nearly on board the ship in which I was, but none of them at all equal in magnitude to this. The natives quitted their houses, and fled with the utmost precipitation in a direction opposite to that in which it approached. I was informed, that a few years before, one had broken on the north side 0 f the island, by which a number of houses were washed away and many people drowned. In the month of November, the king was pleased to grant me about sixty acres of land, situated upon the Wymummee, or Pearlwater, an inlet of the sea about twelve miles to the west of Hanaroora. I immediately removed thither; and it being Macaheite time, during which canoes are tabooed, I was carried on men's shoulders. We passed by foot-paths, winding through an extensive and fertile plain, the whole of which is in the highest state of cultivation. Every stream was carefully embanked, to supply water for the taro beds. Where there was no water, the land was under crops of yams and sweet potatoes. The roads and numerous houses are shaded by cocoa-nut trees, nnd the sides �14 IHE llilLMl. lEBKU..KY. 1858. of the mountains covered with wood to a other people never do it so well as he could is open to the south one-half of the compass, and there being no channel, ships are obliged great height We- halted two or three times, himself.

The Railroad has been in regular and successful operation for more than two years, and its capacity for tho transportation of every description of merchandise, including Oil, Provisions, 4c, has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of whaleships has recently been turned to the subject of shipping theiroil from Panama to New York durinjr tlit* present season, and the Panama Rail-Road Company litis made arrangements to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishmentof this important object. A Pier, 450 feet Ion?, has been built in the bay of Panama, to the end of which Freight Cars arc run to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying alongside, and deliver the same alongside of vessels at Aspinwall. Vessels of from 200 to 300 tons can lie at thePier with safety, grounding in the mud at low water. The vessels to and from Aspinwall are fast-sailing brigs, be longing to the Rail-Read Company, and the Company Is prepared to receive oil at Panama and deliver It in New York, under through Bill* of Lnffing at the rate of eight cent* per gallon, if received at the Pier, and nine cents per gallon if received In the harbor from ship's tackles, charging for the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. This charge covers every expense from Panama, to New York, in caw the oil is sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent ofthe Panama Rail-Road Company, Insurance excepted. Th« freights may l>e made payable on the Isthmus or in New York at the option of the shipper The vessels ofthe Company sail regularly semi-monthly, and the average passages to and from Aspinwnll are about twenty to twenty-five days. The time occupied in creasing the lshmus is four hours. Oil, during its transit across the Isthmus, will be covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars, and owners may be assured that every care will \n- taken to prevent leakage. Several cargoes have already bMO conveyed to New York without the slightest loss.
