The words of inspiration which I have selected for our present meditation, are a portion of the song composed and delivered by Moses, on that day when he made his final address to the whole congregation of the children of Israel. This Song opens in language of the highest sublimity, —" Give ear, O ye heavens! and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth." After extolling the glorious perfections of God, Moses turns to the people and calls upon them to remember the days of old." "For the Lord's portion is his people; and Jacob is the lot of his inheritance." Then follow the words selected for our present consideration, Duteronomy, xzxii: 10.

By late arrivals, publications have been forwarded to our address, from at least three quarters of the globe, the east, west and south, while by looking at the marine intelligence, the reader may observe that we have news from the north. We would respectfully protest against the use of phrases very frequently employed to define the locality of the Sandwich Islands, viz:— Ends of the earth," confines of civili"zation," " far off Islands of the Pacific." " Don't laugh in contempt, reader, although you may reside in London, Paris, or New York, at the following,— Honolulu, capital of the Hawaiian Islands—focus of intelligence—centre of the world." We are at a loss to discover why the dwellers in one part of the world have any more right than those in another, to arrogate to themselves the pre-eminence of living in the centre of the world.

The Island of Rorotonga is situated in lat. 20d. 30m. south, long. 159d. 47m. west, and belongs to the group of Hervev Islands. It is about eight miles broad in the widest part, and 32 miles in circumference, and is certainly one of the most beautiful spots ever trodden by the foot of man. Within a mile of the beach rises a most picturesque medly of gentle knolls and lofty hills, clothed in their robes of living green, even to the highest peak—some of them terminating in a point so sharp and well defined that it seems as if a hand would cover them; others, like the gentle undulations of the ocean. Between these and the shore the plain is covered with the most luxuriant vegetation, and in all the varieties with which nature has blessed this bewitching clime. There are three towns upon the Island, subject each to its own king, who is bound by bis honor not to interfere with the government of his neighbor.— There is a Missionary in each town, established by the London Missionary Society, with churches, school houses, printing It appears to have struck even the thought- presses, dec. &c.

There it a coral reef English fleet had been driven back by contrary winds, and were arrived in the roads. Animated by this delightful, but unexpected intelligence of an event which so evidently marked the care of Providence, he made all possible haste towards the shore; but it was late, it blew hard, and it was morning before he could get aboard. As he rowed towards the ship, it fell calmer, the wind became fair, the signal for sailing was hoisted; and within two hours after he entered the Portland, the fleet were tinder way with a fair wind and a fresh gale. How ignorant are we of the gracious intention of events, which at the moment we are disposed to complain! The wind which chilled him, and the rain which drove him for shelter into the trunk of a tree, were the instruments of his deliverance. This interposition of Providence for me," "he says, was astonishing; that God should send a"contrary gust of wind out of his tieasuries, and turn a whole fleet out of their intended course for one poor worm! and, whenever that end was accomplished, ordered a fair wind to blow, so that we were obliged to put back no more."

I would that thou could'st speak And tell me what thou'stseen, from that high peak, Which Sol dost gild with ruddy beam, long, long before He sheds his cheerful rays, on sea or shore. For thou could'st tell of yearsbefore the flood, Ere first frail man, had sinned against his God And thus provoked his anger, to destroy A world He'd made, so full of peace and joy ; And could'st reveal that secret, dark of thine, Of how the people, came into this clime In one single breath, the mystery proclaim, And place me high upon the mount of fame. What were thy feelings, when thou first descri'd The Flag of England, waving o'er thy tide. And gazed in speechless wonder in thy look. Upon the band, led on by daring Cook. Who rang'd thy burning mountains, o'er and o'or, And shed his life's blood on thy rock bound shore ? Could'st thou then foretell, as to thy wondering view, From ocean's mist he burst in war canoe, That he, thy ancient altars would deface, And raise those of the Christian's Ood in place ; Make thy dread chaunt of dusky warrior's yell. Give way tothat of Sabbath going bell, Break the foul chain, that long had held thee boand, And hurl thepower of Satan to the Ground ? If this thou knew'st thou must have hail'd with pride The march of emigration's onward tide ; Thy flinty bosom now should thrill with joy. And pleasure reign in thee without alloy, For thou ean'st boast ofhaving gain'd a stand As high, as highest fam'd Christian land. In arts, in science, in culture taught, A home that is, with milk and honey fraught. These then sre thine, and better far than nil For aid, thy children on their God now call, Peace be with thee, thou heaven favor'd Isle, Upon thy flocksand bald, may plenty smile. Nor aver desolation cross thy path ; Nor war, of minds, nor man's excited wrath, Be then inscribed upon the book of fame, A bright example of thoTemp'rance name. Fore Peak. mm X « - U.S. 8.

The new " Transit House" of Mr. Boardtnan is really an ornament to the town. We have rarely seen a building in any part of the world, which displayed more architectural symmetry, neatness and beauty. The architect, Mr. R. A. S. Wood, richly merits the praise of all who delight in beholding a finished specimen of the building art. If the building ornaments the town, the object surely, for which it was erected, reflects much credit upon Mr. Boardman's ardent love for scientific and astronomical calculations. His skill, in rating chronometers, is now deservedly high among navigators in the Pacific, but by fitting up this observatory, he has shown that no labor or expense shall be spared, which may render more exact his calculation, or afford satisfaction to his employers.

I refer particularly to the change iv public opinion in reference to the temperance cause, so vitally interesting to the welfare of any community.

For example, " Stuart* Visit; Ellis' Researches," and last, but not least, Mr. Jarvis' interesting work on the Hawaiian Islands, have had a great sale, and are among the most popular works of the day. Now lam prepared to assert, a new era has commenced in the moral world of these Islands.— The temperance flag has been planted, and around it have rallied a goodly number, resolved to sustain the cause they hare espoused with all their might.

Several have signed'it but Ifcere is a good deal of oppost/tor» from some ship masters, who, at home, would be glad to he regarded as the friends of tem- " perance." The remarks in regard to seamen, have been made in consequence of their frequent intercourse at this place, and the facts have been mentioned to show, as fur as possible, exactly how the temperance cause stands here. From these facts, three things are perfectly obvious:— 1. That temperance principles are making rapid progress among ship masters in the Pacific. 2. That where the government takes the lead and temperance is popular, all approve of it and lend their influence to support it. 3. That where government suffers grog shops to exist, and entire abstinence from ardent spirits is unpopular,s ome hesitate, waver, and oppose,and throw their influence upon tbe side of intemperance. If we may except some fifteen or twenty persons, there has been no external evidence that five pillions of ardent spirits have been drank by the 37,000 natives, for nine years, and as ship masters and officers are beginning to combine their influence with the government to prevent the use of it, it gives a still more pleasing prospect for the future.

For want of an opportunity 1 have been hindered from answering it long before—now, as it is, I shall have to send this via Sydney and Tahiti. I return you my thanks for the Magazines and newspapers you so kindly sent as. We found them most interesting. It is a pity I think, that the Directors of the various Protestant Missions, have not an interchange of their publications among their numerous agents throughout the world, so that each may read what is doing. Before furnishing you with any account of our labors in this field, I shall try and briefly answer your several queries: Ist. ffow far has the Temperance Reform population r offetted the native I think I may safely soy, that drunkenness is a vice almost unknown among the natives of this group. I am aware that many wicked foreigners have used numerous devices' to betray them into this sin ; but they have almost in every case withstood the temptation. Though I have resided here, at the principal harbor, for nine years, I have never seen an intoxicated native. <M. Are spirits distilled upon the Hands ? I have heard of some instances of its being done by foreigners, but I suppose they are rare, and when attempted, it must be in an under sort of way. 3d.

Every land has its'chief, and. each is unwilling that another should dictate to him. Still, in mutters which em the public welfare, they are ready to agree, and enact tews. After all, as it remains with each party to act upon those regulations or not, as they please, it is of course very difficult for the well disposed part of the community, to stand out against an evil which demands punishment.

I speak not to disparage it.— 1 wish there wero more of it; and it may all exist with a want of the true, lofty, and unbending uprightness. That is not the man, then, of whom I speak; but it is lie who stands amid all the exigencies of trade, firm, calm, disinterested and upright.

Kallmann, Molokai, Nov. IS, 1845. inRev. 8. C. Damon:— Dear Sir,-—I received the enclosed from a correspondent of mine at 'Tahiti, and while reading it, the thought came across my 'mind to send it to an editor in the I). States with whom I am partially acquainted, as it seemed to me adapted to correct the mistaken feeling in the minds of some persons, resulting from a casual observation and consequent judgement of native christians in these islands. The writer, with whom I became acquainted at Tahiti, was sent as a missionary by the London Missionary Society, first to the Marquesas, and from thence was transferred to Tahiti, My intention to send it to the Y. States, was altered by a wish to see it in the Friend, shouM you think proper, and have ro<>m to publish it. Yours sincerely, C. B. Andsews. 177 . INi~EU.IQENCE. !¥•.

I can sy mi-atliiz* with you ; 1 too have passed through the came ordeal, and know something of 11 » bitter feeling of disappointincnt when one scheme of usefulness aller anotlier, planm d J during along voyage, prove to be airy casWbat a different picture, the bright and glowing anticipations of home, compared with the stera—the cold reality. The pleasure springing from the fulfilment of enlarged benevolent design* which, animates the heart on leaving home, is here supplaced by the most miserable disappointment and the heart is left to weep over its fallen hopes, its blighted prospects, and the base ingratitude which returns all our efforts by cold indifference. Oh! how withering to the fresh love of ,the young missionary, the heartless coldness wl.ich meet him at every step. How different indeed from the picture drawn by a Williams. The feelings which you have expressed are the feelings of many, if not all, when they come first into contact with the.people. Never shall I forget the withering effect upon the whole of my fellow voyagers, winch our first contact with savage and heathen life produced—nor tie deep disappointment when we landed upon Tahiti. But my feelings and views are not now what they were then. I, like most had read the works of Ellis, Williams, &c. The glowing picture had dazzled the imagination—expectation had risen far aitoie what sober reflection would liave w arrautcd us to expect, .and disappointment was the result. But the fault, ] afterwards found, lay not so' much with the actual Hate ju( things as with myself. More or lew of the novelty of circumstunces mingles v. ith the views of every inexperienced missionary.— His imagination heated by the warmth of missionary society ip his native laud, hv comes more to admire the triumphs uokjiajved, and to carry on the work so piospaiouely begun, than to encounter difficulty and apposition!
