I. IST t. SEanomgloishnrtsMiGeohnlabtIsr slands. The Kingsmill, or Gilliert Islands, were first occupied by American and Hawaiian missionaries in 1857. News was received a few days since, in a letter written by the Rev. S. G. Whitmee, a missionary of the London Missionary Society in Sydney, giving the information that Samoan missionaries under the Loudon Missionary Society, had been placed on two of the southern islands of the Gilbert Group. In order to understand the facts in the case, it must lie remembered that sonic of these are north and some south of the line, as follows : Makin mil Butaritari (I'iift.

No accurate census of the whole group has been taken. About two years ago the American missionaries stationed Hawaiians on Drummond's, south of the line, although there was the understanding that the English Society should evangelize south. and Americans north of the equator.

The Knights of St. John—arc not their deeds of prowess pictured in glowing language in all the histories that treat of the attempted conquests of the Crusaders f For months they defended the city against the attacks of the Saracens. History shows no deeds of greater valor than were performed by those Knights of Rhodes. As we walked the silent streets, we were carried back to the time when Solynmn the Magnificent attacked the city with a fleet of four hundred ships, and an army of one hundred and forty thousand men. Day after day the city was gallantly defended, but at last the Grand Master, overpowered by numbers, was obliged to give up the city, and from that time to this the Turks have held possession. Picsi-oit states lhat for six months the brave Knights with their own good swords, iinnideil by a single European power, withstood the whole array of the Ottoman Empire, and when at length compelled to surrender, they obtained such honorable terms from Solyman, as showed he knew how to respect valor, though in a Christian foe. The coats of arms of the Knights from England, France and Germany, und from every Christian country of Europe, still remain engraved on the houses, and it is to the credit of the Turks that they have allowed them to remain. There is one street remaining as the Knights left it, now uninhabited, and it was with a melancholy interest that we walked through that deserted street with its knightly symbols—the only things remaining in Rhodes, except the walls of the city, to remind us of its once glorious defenders. Death of Dean Alford. Late English papers announce the death of this distinguished Biblical scholar. He was Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. His edition of the Greek Testament was an invaluable contribution to sacred learning. We have now lying on our table his " New Testament for English Readers, with a Critical and Explanatory Commentary," in four volumes. In concluding his remarks upon the Book of Revelations, he thus modestly writes: " This, my labor of now four and twenty years, is herewith completed. Ido it with humble thankfulness, but with a sense of utter weakness before the power of His word, and inability to sound the depths even of its simplest sentence." (1866.) If one of the best scholars in England and most learned men of the age could thus write when laying down his pen, after a life-study of the Bible, how utterly contemptible those flippant persons appear, who without much reading of the Bible, even in the English language, presume to pass a judgment upon the sacred volume. Dean Alford's remarks remind us of the words of the late Mr. Barnes of America, in reviewing forty " nearly years "of continued study of the Bible. See his preface to the Book of Psalms. , IS7 I.

Mr. Nobbs, pastor of Norfolk Island. He is directly from that part of the world, and hns furnished us with much interesting information respecting the descendants of the "old Pitcairners," now living on both Pitcnirn's and Norfolk islands. On Pitcairn's there are 60 inhabitants, and among them Betsy Young, a daughter of John Adams, the venerable old patriarch, under whose instruction the Pitcairners were really trained in the fear and nurture of God. On Norfolk Island there are 325 inhabitants ; hence the total number, about 385 now living, who have descended from the Pitcairners of the Bouvty. They are under the Colonial Government of New South Wales, but are allowed to govern themselves much after their own views. The Rev. Mr. Nobbs still continues in his old age to officiate as pastor and physician. He is truly a patriarch among them, having 10 living children, and about 50 grand-children. Of the second generation of "old Pitcairners," there are now living on Norfolk Island, Arthur Quintal, George Adams, and Rachel Evans— the latter a daughter of John Adams, above alluded to. Bishop Patterson, the English missionary Bishop of Melanesia, is also living upon Norfolk Island. He received the grant of 1,000 acres of land for a mission school. He has established a school, which now contains 140 pupils, gathered from New Hebrides, Solomon and Banks' islands. Once every year he visits those islands, taking teachers, who have been educated in his school. The missionary vessel Southern Cross is under his direction. The present prospects of the mission are quite prosperous. From all we can learn, Norfolk Island is a beautiful spot—a gem of the South Seas. It is about 21 miles in circumference, and admirably diversified with wood-land and cultivated fields, being well watered aitd advantageously situated for the supply of whaleships cruising in that part of the ocean.

There is not only a unity of race, but a unity in the desires, thoughts and aspirations of all men. He who would truly understand what is in man, or mankind at large, must study not only human nature as manifested in one part of the world and in one nation, but he must study the peoples of all lands nnd all ages. In order to do this, we see the importance of studying carefully the influence of those old Greek philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Arisiotle, whose thoughts and teachings have exerted such a controlling influence upon the world. Not long since we read with intense interest Draper's " Intellectual Development of Europe," in which the reader's attention was directed to influence of the Grecian poets, mathematicians and philosophers upon the condition of knowledge as it now appears in Europe and America. Now we have another work upon a somewhat kindred subject, " Christianity and Greek Philosophy," while another of close relationship, Tyler's " Theology of the Greek Poets," is lying on our table. All these works take us back to Greece, and make us realize that there may be much of truth in the somewhat strong language of R. W. Emerson, when he says, in remarking upon books, in " Society and Solitude : " " Of Plato I hesitate to speak, lest there should be no end. •* * * He contains the future, as he came out of the past. In Plato, you explore modern Europe in its causes and seed, all that in thought, which the history of Europe embodies or has yet to embody. The well-informed man finds himself anticipated. Plato is up with him. Nothing has escaped him." Alas, we fear the world is not much wiser than it was two or three thousand years ago. It may know a little more about chemistry, geology and astronomy, but that is about all. Even long ere Grecian and Roman supremacy lived those old Egyptians. They knew many things respecting which the world is now ignorant. We are reading Dr. Cocker's book with much interest, and although not coinciding with all his reasoning, we still find *: u mi- Loss of the Bark "Dashing Wave."

London Yates & Alexander, Publishers. : For sixteen yours (1838-1854) the author of this volume was a missionary of the London Missionary Society on the Island of Rarotonga. During his sojourn in the South Seas, he visited various neighboring islands and gathered abundant materials for a most interesting volume, with the above title. It is now just fifty years since native missionaries from Tahiti first introduced Christianity into the Hervey Group, of which Rarotonga is one of the principal islands. This volume contains interesting sketches of not only the Hervey Group, but also several islands in what is called Western Polynesia, namely : Aneityum. Tana, Fotuna, Eronianga (where Rev. J. Williams was killed), Fate, Mare, Lifu, New Caledonia, and other islands. English missionaries who have labored under the patronage of the London Missionary Society have issued several most interesting volumes, illustrative of missionary life, including «he following "Turner's Nineteen Years' Residence in Polynesia ; " " Buzecott's Mission Life ; " " Murray's Missions in Western Polynesia," and several others which we could mention. Persons desirous of reading works relating to Polynesia, can take up no more interesting books. The volume now noliced, " Gems," &c, is for sale at Thrum's book-store. : Island: a brief account of the Island of Nine, and of the Work of tbe Gospel among its People. By Rev. Thomas Powell, F. L.

Tbe bark JJusking ll'uve, a successful China tea clipper, is down as mining in the Sydney Mtrnlug Hriulil. Cuptaiu Vandervord was tbe master ot the vessel, and Irom him we learn the following particulars i—lie left Koochow on July '2.) bound for Sydney ; and on tbe night of August It, the weather being thick and niuulls coming down at interval.", Captain Vandct-vord took iv the niainlop-galluntsail at 10 r. ji , and went bctow to lie on the sofa in the cabin ; at half-pant 10 he went on deck again aud was just in time to see a'small island right ahead ; he shouted to the man at the wheel to put the helm down, and the vessel had nearly come round when bet- heel touched on the reef which surrounds the island. Half an hour after taking the bottom the copper came over the weatherside in sheets, and the foremast sunk 18 inches ; tbe mainmast was cut away, but the ship began to break up fast. The island proved to be Wake Island, small and uninhabited, surrounded by a reef, rendering it impossible to land if there is any wind blowing at all. Captain Vandervord says it is 10 miles out of the position given in the chart, 10 80' N., 167 K. The crew took to the long boat, and Captain Vandervord secured a chart and nautical instruments, but strange to say no compass was saved ; a case of colouial wine, a bag and a half of bread and two buckets were put in the boat, but no water ; and for 31 days the thirteen men were in the open boat without seeing 1 nil or a ship, or receiving any assistance whatever. They left the wreck at 10 tbe morning after, and with sail made of blankets sewn together, and fixed to :ui oar, began their weary jouruey iv search of some inhabited island. Their sufferings may be imagined. For tho bat five day* they had not a drop of water, and the captain served out one bottle of CaWatTa daily between the thirteen ; that saved their lives ; after that time they had rain and caught wuter, but except at tbe time it was actually raining a half pint of water each only a day was served out and a handful of bread. To the credit of tbe men and their commander there was no insubordination, no attempt to obtain more than their share of tbe scanty provisions and previous water ; silently but resigned they passed day after day, the suu pouring down on their unsheltered heads. Every day Captain Vandervord got the boat's position by means of his instruments, but when the weather was dull of course they weut in all directions for want of it compass, and especially on cloudy nights ; it was the master's intention to make for the Kingsmill group, but tbe current was against them, and then a courso was steered for Ascension Island, aud hud any of the party been able to row they might have reached it, but, weak as they were, all they cculd tlo was to keep their boat before the wind with the blanket sail. After 30 days of suffering, their mouths parched, tongues swollen, wet with grateful showers, scorched by a tropioal sun, fully undergoing Coleridge's Ancient Mariner'! sufferings cape!* ° ° .

Even the liquorseller will point to the drunkard, unil remark the wreck he is. But how to oppose it, how to lessen its ravages nnd to diminish its effects ; there is wide and honest difference of opinion. Total abstinence pledges, temperance societies, temperance tracts anil lectures, have all been enthusiastically nnd faithfully tried with varying success. The law has been invoked to force u reformation by shutting off the supply of intoxicating agents; but the destruction still goes on to a frightful extent, in spile ofall these influences. Great progress, however, in the right direction has been made. All of these different lines of effort have effected much, doubtless, directly nnd arbitrarily, as oaths of abstinence, and prohibitory laws, but their real and most valuable result is the bettor public sentiment which they have built up and cherished. And here, in the field of public sentiment, lies the hope of temperance. Unless t/tat is healthy and true, pledges, and laws, nnd cold water legions, will go for little or nothing : if it is sound, men will shun excess and intoxication, just as now they shun forgery or burglary. It is clear that under this view, the condition of public opinion on this matter is considerably below the proper standard. A young man may drink under social conventionalities until he loses his ordinary behavior belonging lo good breeding, in an uncertain demeanor in which novel eccentricities of manner, combined with an unexpected and often startling association of ideas, produce an effect which would be comedy itself, were it not so really and sadly tragic, and we are only amused by it, instead of being shocked ; or if we are shocked, the impression is light and transient. We scorn and shun the confirmed drunkard, who, in the grasp of his terrible habit, from which he is well-nigh powerless to escape, deserves our deepest pity, while the festive reveler, starting, of his own choice, down the same road is a "good fellow," and suffers not in our esteem. In other words, intemperance in itself is not criminal in the view of society, which only passes sentence upon its victims when from its effects they become no longer bearable. Results are punished, the causes arc passed over. Under the prevalence of this sentiment, it is not strange that men should thoughtlessly and freely indulge in stimulants which custom has made social, and easily overstep the limit* of a temperate use, and that without any compunctions of con- as loiii; as nn very ridiculous stagej over the Fort Street Church.

General Armstrong, or the " orthordox General " as he was titled, was called upon, and spoke of Christianity as it was to him, a thing to be judged of from the lives of its believers, rather than their catechisms : a grand warfare under the leadership of Christ. The Established Churchmen of England are discussing measures looking to disestablishment, not in favor of it evidently, but making ready for the evil day. At the quarterly Sunday-school Concertof the Kawaiahao and branch Sunday-schools, held on the 26th ult. iv the Kawaiahao church, the Superintendent, Mr. William K. Castle, closed his relations with the school, and gave them his farewell in a brief but earnest address. He has been in charge of the school for over two years, and has great reason at this time to rejoice at the prosperous condition which it has reached under his care. Mr. Castle shortly leaves for the States for the prosecution of his studies. Rev. Walter Frear was.examined on Tuesday evening of the 21st ult. by an ecclesiastical council, with reference to installation — Wnshinirtun Street, Sun Kranrisco." - This paper—the Dial—is devoted to ihe interests of " Sunday-schools, Temperance Societies, and Young Men's Christian Associations."
