the Persian Language at Shiraz.

Mr. Coorse, and Mr. Thomason and aone e at Madras, - Mr. Thompson and of the London Missionary Society there are in Bengal Mr. May and Mr. Forsyth, and on the Coast Mr. [Loveless Messrs  Lee, Gordon, Prichart, and Hands. I understand that one or two of those who were at Ceylon are about to leave it for Europe.
     There are two other departments of the Mission here which we have found of great importance, viz. Schools, and the translation of the Word of God into the Eastern languages. I believe the number of Children in all our schools is not less than a thousand, who are all taught to read the Bible. I trust there will be found to be a nursery for the Church of God in time to come. At any rate we may expect that the introduction of the light of Gods Word by means of Schools, will contribute to the expulsion of that gross darkness which has hitherto been spread over these countries, and which has been attended with a proportional quantity of vice and cruelty.
