Among the crew, there was a sailor, a native of Massachusetts, who frequently visited our office, and from whom we learned that he was the writer of the following letter, published by the American Tract Society of Boston.

United Status Smr Ohio, May 4th, 1859. ) i Deaii Sir:—l am very much obliged to you for the kindness you have manifested towards me ; and, according to your request, 1 will give you some incidents of my life, hoping they will interest you. I feel that this statement is due to you, lor it was through your efforts that prayer-meetings were first established on board our ship, which were the means of bringing me to a knowledge of the truth ns it is in Jesus. 1 was born in Bolton, Mass. My father died when 1 was young, leaving my mother with four children. We were brought up in the family of my grandfather, a deacon of the Baptist Church, and a man of eminent piety. When I was fourteen years of age, my mother married again, and removed to Lowell ; and hero commenced my career of wickedness. I became addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, n:id was a leader in all kinds of debauchery. Many a time, when I came home drunk, did my mother plead with me, with tears streaming down her cheeks, to abstain from the intoxicating poi- son. Oh! how many heart-rending,earnest prayers, hns she offered at the throne of grape for me. She never upbraided me, but strove to reclaim me by gentleness and kindness. Much against the advice of my friends, I went, with some others, to Salem, and engaged to go ■ whaling voyage oi three years , bound for the Indian in the bark M Ocean. Here I gave myself up, unchecked by home influences, to all the desires of my Corrupt heart. I drank the cup of sin to the dregs. The story of my wickedness would . fill volumes. In December last, I arrived in Boston in the ship S The captain wished me to go another voyage with him, and 1 agreed to do so. but spent the most of my time in low haunts in North Street and vicinity, until the day before the ship was to sail. I was perfectly satisfied with my ship, and had good wages; yet, doubtless led by the hand of God, I left it, and shipped in the United States navy, on board the O/iio. Soon after I came on board, it was noised about decks that some of the men were going to hold a praytr-tneetitig on the orlop deck, which caused much sport, and many remarks were made about it. However, the meetings were commenced, but for several nights 1 did not I N 0 , MAY, 1867. go down. At last I was persuaded to go, and saw what I never saw before.—sailors on their knees, beseeching the throne of grace for merry upon themselves and those around then. And 1 felt what I had never realized until now, that 1 was living in a state of condemnation, and without Cod in the world. 1 remembered all the sins I had committed against God and our Saviour.and how many times ho had preserved me when death stared me in the face. 1 remembered the teachings of my parents, and felt that 1 had sinned agninst the clearest light. Oh, what would 1 not have given to recall my past life! I went away, determined to attend the prayermeetings in future, and to mend my past life. I tried to break oir all my bad habits, and attended the meetings regularly; but it would not answer. I could get no peace; I felt condemned. 1 lay in my hammock all night, and prayed for hours, but I felt no relief. At last, 1 got held of a book called "The Anxious Inquirer," and read it as I never bad before. Il teemed to suit my eaae exactly, and 1 strove to comply with the directions which it contained. I was greatly struck with the text of Scripture, "He that is ashamed of One, of him will I be ashamed before my Father which is in heaven." This condemned me, lor I was ashamed to own Christ as the Saviour of my soul. I went down to meeting the next night with the determination to come out on tinLord's tide, and tell them all that I had determined to seek the Lord. But what a struggle I had with my proud heart! 1 thought I could nut speak before the crowd that was down there. But 1 got up; the tears streamed down my lace what I saul I do not know; 1 cannot recollect a word. Then 1 fell upon my knees, and poured out my bean to God. Oh! the joy that afterwards came into my heart. Then I could feel uliat the love of Cod was,and that Christ was precious to my soul. 1 felt at peace with all the world. After tint, I had no more trouble in getting Up, and telling what Christ had done for me, He " ran away from home," and thus obtained unrestricted opportunity to gratify his rile propensities (o the uttermost. It shows also the way of return from sin to Cod. First, he was led to " look at himself as he was." Sinners will never come to Christ for salvation till they see theirruin. He resolved to "break off his sins." It will avail nothing for men to be distressed at their wickedness, and feel the utter wretchedness of their condition, if they do not abandon it. The prodigal not only felt his hunger, but ■aid, " I will arise and go unto my Father." He sought "instruction." Though he had no Christian friend to guide him, he found direction in that excellent book, which has pointed hundreds to trie Saviour. Many are too proud to acknowledge their distress, or ask what they must do to be saved. When he learned what to do, " he did it." That guide pointed him to Jesus—the sinner's only hope—and bade him throw himself on his mercy alone. No efTorts at selfreformation, no cries, nor tears, nor anything which lie could do of himself were sufficient. He must gire himself to Christ, ask him for salvation, trust in him for it, and begin a life of obedience to him. He "acknowledged" Christ before his shipmates. God kindles the flame of his grace in the heart, not to be hid there, hut to shine out, and guide other poor darkened souls to the truth. Christ heard the prayers of this returning prodigal, anil gave biin peace. He will save all that will come to him. Dear reader, will you come t ; KindeR s ewarded.

But there came t letter one day, with the English post-mark, making inquiries for a curtain young American doctor who had greatly befriended an English gentleman during a long and dangerous attack of sickness in New Orleans a numher of years ago. This grateful gentleman had died and left our poor young man a very large estate. Ten years ago and less, there lived in the city of New York a clergyman whose name and memory are sacred to thousands of grateful, loving, revering hearts. He has not been dead long; he will never die out of the holy affections of the people before whom he came in and went out so many years. Among his people there was one man, and he was of large wealth, who seemed to make it his special business, as it*was his highest happiness to see that this reverend pastor wanted nothing.

Here a Protestant house of worship is to be erected, in which there is to be a. daily prayermeeting rrnd preaching in various languages, so that the people ol all climes may bear in their own tongues the wonderful works of Cod. There is also to be a building for the distribution of liibles and religious books ami tracts, in all languages, where also the various Christian missionary societies will display the results of their success in civilizing and Christianizing the barbarous nations and tribes of heathendom. As American Christians have been earnest in their elforts'to evangelise the world, it is proper that some of the results of their labors should appear in this most interesting department of this World's Fair. The American Board of Missions, the American Bible Society, the American Tract Society, and possibly other missionary societies in this country, have made shipments to the Exposition, as illustrations of what they are doing in the great work of giving the Gospel to the nations of the earth. There will thus be not only a fuller and more intelligent revelation of the world-wide and world-embracing efforts of Christian seal and activity, but a direct anil constant endeavor to bring the power of divine truth to bear upon the millions who are expected to assemble to witness this grand display of the results of human industry and art.

London : Smith, Elder A Co. 1866. We are very glad to get hold of a book which speaks with some degree of authority respecting the late war in New Zealand. As the Maories, or aborigines of New Zealand, belong to the great and widely scattered Polynesian family, we feel a deep interest in whatever relates to their condition, welfare and destiny. Occasional notices that a war was raging in New Zealand between the aborigines and the British forces, is all that the public has known upon the subject. This book opens up the subject. We learn from a gentleman recently from that part of the world, and who has long resided in the country, that it can be relied upon for accuracy of statement and general impression. That our readers may be able to obtain a somewhat tolerably correct idea of the state of affairs in New Zealand, we commence by giving the population of the islands. Population. —ln 1842, the best estimates gave the native or Maori population at 114,-000. In 1850, a Wesleyan missionary estimated the population at 70,000. In 1858, the Government returns put the population at 55,970. Mr. Fox expresses the opinion that the Maories now do not number over 45,000, and still upon the rapid decrease. "A people," he remarks, "that -has no children, must die out." The European population in 1864 was estimated at 171,931, and the increase was very rapid, so much so, that in 1866, Mr. Fox estimates that it reached to 200,000. From this book and other sources, we learn that the Colony is rapidly increasing in population and material wealth. From 1857 to 1866, the gold mines alone of New Zealand yielded, according to Governments reports, £11,207,179, or well nigh 860,000,000. The War.—The late war appears to have been a most expensive affair, but terminating in no definite results. It has been carried on at a cost of over £3,000,000, or 9 15,000,000. At most, only about 10,000 regular troops have been in the service, and on the part of the Maories, the estimate is 5,000 and upwards. Pitched battles have been but few. The main warfare has been skirmishing and attacks upon fortified places, or pahs, as they are styled by the natives. The Governor of the' Colony, Sir George Orey, and General Cameron, appear to have been upon anything but good terms. What one ordered the other would countermand. They were about as good friends as Prcsi dent Johnson and the Republican Congress. After fighting for two or three years, Mr. Fox thus sums up the military results of the war: That the men were personally brave, and their officers brave, and the reverse the rare exception, is readily admitted. But it cannot be concealed that the campaign, as a whole, added little to the laurels of the British army. Except Walcheren, New Orleans, and some passages of the American war of Independence, I can recollect no military operations of which, as a whole, we have less reason to be proud." • Mr. Fox admits most frankly that, in a military point of view, the whole war has been a stupendous failure, with no definite results. " Let it be admitted that we have yet to learn the art of fighting savages. God grant that it may be the last occasion on which the British army may have to do it." This volume contains some interesting statements respecting the strange fanaticism, called the " Pai Marire," which has arisen among the natives of New Zealand, and resulted in the murder of the Rev. Mr. Volkner and other atrocities. One of the great and prevailing evils which has long existed amoog the Maories of New Zealand, has been the fact that they had no central government. They have had an abundance of chiefs, but really no king-chief, such as has existed on our group of islands. This fact has operated to retard missionary operations, as well as resulted in perpetual difficulties between the Maories and the British Government and colonists. What may be in store for the dwellers upon our fair islands—aborigines and foreigners— is known only to the great Killer of nations ; but one thing is more and more apparent to the careful observer, that the American missionaries were wise in sustaining, by all the weight of their influence and authority, the native government, when it has been threatened by foreign powers. There have been crises in the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom when it seemed that foreign influences would overtop and crush the Kainehaiueha dynasty and the Government. Such influences have subvened the native rule in other parts of Polynesia, but hitherto that fate has been averted from this Kingdom, and we hope a long period may elapse ere such a result shall be experienced on-Hawaiian shores. " Kanaka Divers versus Gutta-percha Armor-clad Divers. It actually resulted in the paralysis of his body, from which he has never entirely recovered. Mr. L. has followed this business for years, and experiences no injury, seldom descending lower than seventy or eighty feet. He remains for hours under water, and once walked, off Point Judith, about five miles upon the bottom of the ocean. Ordinarily he can see twenty or thirty feet without difficulty, and frequently meets with fish and other inhabitants of those watery regions. Mr. L. expressed some surprise when informed that Sandwich Islanders would descend much lower than any depth yet reached by American divers, however completely they might lie protected by their armor. The following facts may be relied upon. In the month of August, 1813, H. B. M.'s ship Dublin, Admiral Thomas, lost a heavy anchor weighing seven thousand eight hundred pounds, in over thirty fathoms of water. Under the direction of His Excellency Covernor Kekuanaoa, natives were employed to dive for the purpose of attaching a hawser. Several divers tested their abilities, when one was found, who descended once twenty-nine fathoms, and again thirty-two fathoms, (192 feet,)and remained sufficiently longto adjusta rope to the anchor's fluke. When he came up blood issued from his ears and nose. No serious results followed. The kanaka is still living in the employ of His Excellency. Admiral Thomas gave him $200 for performing a feat which probably no American or European could accomplish. This fact is probably owing to the custi m of Hawaiians living so much in the water. An Hawaiian woman once swam about twenty-live miles, having been thirty-six hours in the water, and during most of that lime carried her husband upon her back. This remarkable instance occurred about lliirty years ago, when a native schooner foundered at sea in the channel off Hawaii. The woman finally reached Kahoolawe, and subsequently lived for several years. Garrett, the Naturalist.—Letters have re ccntly been received from Mr. Garrett, which report him as having visited the Sunioan, Hervey, and some of the Tonga islands of the South Seas, nnd in September or Octolxr, ISGO,ason hiß way to the Fiji Islands.

"Pictorial Sanctum."—Having occasion to visit the editorial sanctum of our neighbor of tho Advertiser, we found it " swept and garnished." Kvery book, pamphlet and exchange newspaper was in its place. The room was decorated with the most expensive engravings (for sale, ol course.)

From Ihc I'. C. Advcrtirier, April 2711i. LDBooasntrlhekfWood. Hawaiian* of the crew, expert swimmers, were active in the water in securing provisions. The Captain decided at once to proceed to Honolulu for assistance. Taking a favorite large whaleboat, named the Ann E. Wilson, he put on her what the sailors call a "sister gunwale" und u wash-board," and declared his intention to "start for Honolulu. As an instance of Yankee enterprise nnd determination of character, under difficult circumstances, it is well to mention that the only tools the Captain and his men had to operate with in making their boat seaworthy for the long and perilous voyage of nearly five hundred miles to this port, was n saw, a hummer and a chisel. The nails with which to fasten their work they had to draw from the fastenings of the other boats. On Tuesday, the- 10th, the tKiat being ready, the Captain, second officer und six men embarked at 3 p. «., with a necessarily limited stock of water and bread, bound for Hodolulu, leaving twenty-seven of their shipmntes on the sand bank, doubtless with a feeling of uncertainty, both on the part of those who went and those who remained, as to whether they should ever see one another again. One party left on an unfteipiented barren sand beach in mid-ocean, and the other, with scanty provisions, undertaking, in an open boat, a sea voyage ofhundreds of miles. For the first lour days after leaving the shoal the Ann E. Wilson encountered strong winds from the north nnd north-northeast, but made very good headway in the desired direction, sometimes pulling and sometimes sailing when the wind gave a slant. For prudential reusous nil hands in the boat were put on an allowance id' one pint of water nnd one biscuit n day. Thus they struggled on, until Sunday morning, April 23d, when they made the Island of Niihiui. Landing there, they were most hospitably nnd kindly received by the proprietors of the Island, Captain Sinclair and family, of whom Captain Richmond speaks in the highest terms. Leaving Niihaii at 0 o'clock on Monday morning, they continued their course for Honolulu without touching at Kauai. During that night they spoke the Montie.cllo, Capt. Phillips, who gave them the course to steer, their compass having 37 schooner Kamehameha IV., which was on a wrecking cruise in that neighborhood.

Howes, of the brig Lubra, touched at Honolulu on his voyage to China, and we had the privilege of forming his acquaintance at our office in the Sailors' Home. The vessel did not enter the inner harbor of Honolulu. A brief account of the sad affair, described in the following letter, has already been published, but as this is given by Capt. Howes' wife, it merits publication. THE CHINESE PIRATES. aBAErcxiMoCg-astfpunhnmWife. freCaptin's The Yarmouth Register publishes a letter from Mrs. Lucy J. Howes, wife of Capt. Benjamin P. Howes, who fell a victim to Chinese pirates, giving an affecting history of that tragical event, which occurred September 23, 1566: We had supper on deck that night about six o'clock, and had just finished our tea and were walking the deck, when our attention was called to a small Chinese junk coining directly towards us. She was soon within speaking distance, and it was almost calm. The junk could sail when we couldn't make any progress. The captain of the junk hailed us, wishing to know where we were bound, and if we wanted a pilot. By this time we began to mistrust his character, and as they ranged alongside, Benjamin (Capt. Howes) told them to keep off or he would blow them out of water, all to no purpose. Benjamin and the mate found their pistols unloaded and useless, and just as they got on deck again, the pirates were boarding us and throwing their stink-pots. Benjamin told me to go below, and I did as directed. Carrie was lying down on deck. I called for her, and Benjamin rushed up just in time to save her, for as he came below the shots were flying about his head. The pirates, to the number of ten, I should think, now rushed into the cabin upon us, und demanded gold and opium. We were terribly frightened. Benjamin told the mate it was of no use to fight, for they would overcome us and kill all hands. The pirates said, if we would not fight they would not hurt us. Benjamin told them there was no gold or opium on board, and 1 told them the same, and they seemed to pay more attention to me than to him, on account of my being so frightened, I suppose. The pirates now became very much excited, searching every hole and corner in the cabin. My trunks were turned inside out, and my room the same, and even the bed was torn nil to pieces. They then threatened us with death if gold and opium were found on board the brig. They said—" You speake lie, we kill you all three." My nurse went forward with the babe in the outset. After a while the pirates all left the cabin and went forward and between decks, to search among the cargo. We had a Chinese cook and steward, and it seems they, talked with them, for after a while they came below again, quite excited, demanding the gold, Sec., saying: " You got coolie man; coolie man say you got gold, you got opium—we want." They repeated this demand two or three times. At this time six or seven coolies and the head man, or captain of the gang, came below. Two stood by me, one with a drawn sword in his hand, and the other had his in the sheath. The rest of the gang seized Benjamin and tried to force him on deck, threatening all the time to take his life. They did not seem to want to kill him below. They struck him twice with the flat of their swords ; still he resisted and denied the existence of any gold in the brig. I again told them the same thing. They now looked first at me and then at him, then at each other. I was dreadfully frightened. The man who stood by me with his sword sheathed attempted to draw it and started toward Benjamin. I started and laid my hand on it to stop him, but he turned upon me very fiercely, without speaking, and drew his sword. I now thought it my best plan to keep quiet, but 1 believe my interference saved his life for the time being, but oh my God ! what a fearful night! We were guarded all the time by a man with a drawn sword at the cabin door, so there was no chance of escape, If I could have got out I would have jumped overboard rather than run the risk of being cut to pieces, as we expected to be. The pirates helped themselves to anything they wanted in the cabin, such as what money they could find, together with articles of jewelry, wines, &c. We now were left unmolested for a couple of hours, I should think. We both sat on the sofa with little Carrie between us, she asleep a part of the time. I asked Benjamin if he thought we should have to go through the same scene again. He answered that he could give me no hope to the contrary. He did not seem to think they would kill me and the children, at least, but we made up our minds to meet our fate and all go together. We both hoped to be shot, as that seemed to be the most merciful way of being killed. I could now see the pirates firing aloft, and heard them calling to the men to come down, and could distinguish the second mate's voice. We heard them at work stowing their boats, but most of the pirates had now left. After a while all was still, the tiring censed, but I could see a few of the pirates about the decks. At this time the man who guarded the cabin door pointed a musket right at my head. I dropped it on,to Benjamin's shoulder, exclaiming, " They are going to shoot us after all." (We had begun to have a slight hope of escape.) The cabin door swung open now, and Benjamin said, " It is our fate, Lucy, and we must meet it." A few seconds after this one of the bead men came into the cabin and spoke to us. He said they were going away then, and seemed very solemn. I sat up and spoke to him, too, begging him to spare our lives, but he paid no attention to me, but went again on deck. Immediately thereafter thefe was a shot. It was so near my head I thought I was hurt. Carrie was crying, but I heard nothing from Benjamin. 1 had almost fallen, but this fact recalled me. I looked at Benjamin and found he was dead. He never groaned or moved a muscle. I took his pulse to see if any life remained, and just then one of the pirates came down. I dropped on Benjamin's shoulder and let the blood flow over me, at the same time holding down Carrie, for I fancied he had come to dispatch us. I lifted my head and told him to shoot me. He lighted a small piece of candle and sat it within a few inches of my head on the table, (I believe he thought me wounded,) and then went on deck. The thought now flashed across my mind that Carrie was alive, and for her sake I ought to live, so I blew out the candle and dropped down on Benjamin's bosom, holding Carrie and hushing her under my breath all the while. I saw no more of them, but before leaving one of the pirates threw a block of wood weighing six pounds in at the window, which struck Carrie on the head and hit me on the side. Carrie's head was badly swollen and discolored, and my side considerably bruised. Jt is a wonder the child was not killed. 1 fancy he meant to kill me, and I kept so still I fancy they thought me dead. After this I heard no more of them. All was now quiet for a few minutes,only Carrie still crying. Directly I saw some one creeping cautiously around aft, and soon recognized the second mate. I took Carrie and went on deck, meeting him at the door. I told him the captain was killed, and asked him who was alive. He answered, " Mr. Hall, the mate, is dead, but there are two men besides myself alive." My nurse, I learned, jumped overboard, but first laid the babe down by the capstan on (he topgallant forecastle. The nurse, I suppose, was killed or drowned. Mrs. Howes then goes on to describe a narrow escape from being blown up, and as there was powder in the hold of the Lubra, the pirates bud laid and ignited trains with the view to the destruction of the ship by fire. The following evening the ship Lawrence came along-, nnd took those left alive and the bodies of the killed to Hongkong. Captain Howes was buried on the 25th of September—his funeral being the largest ever known at Hongkong. Mrs. Howes was very kindly treated by the people, and was waiting to aid in identifying the pirates, of whom the people were in search. Provincetown Whaling.—The Yarmouth Register says that the whole number of vessels in the whaling business from Frovincetown the present year is 43, carrying 750 men and boys. Of these 24 have arrived, bringing in about 2300 barrels of sperm oil and 3200 barrels of blackfish oil, being 700 barrels less in amount of sperm, and about 100 barrels more of blackfish than last year. The higher price, however, at which the sperm sold this year compensates, to a considerable extent, for the decrease in quantity, but one or two more vessels are expected to return the present season. On the whole, the business has been prosperous. The greatest voyage made was that ol schooner Mary (i. Curren, Win. Curren master. This schooner was new, and sailed at a cost of $24,500, and after an absence of fifteen months, sent and brought home 800 barrels of oil, which sold for $45,000, leaving for the owners a net profit ofabout $21,-000. Several new vessels in process of building, are to be added in the coming season to the fleet.—Repub. Standard, N. B. October, 1866. Now, Christ has instructed many by the way, and been ready to enter into their hearts and dwellings; but for want of an invitation to tarry, he has gone by. �39 IHE X Ul K.N H, MA V, 18 67.
