and had burned the Pa belonging to the Waikato Natives; had taken away some canoes, and broken others to pieces; but had killed nobody, for they saw nobody. After both parties had met, they proceeded to make their speeches; which the rain, after about an hour, put a stop to. We learned that the children of our friends at Puriri had been dangerously ill; and that the "Columbine" had been sent for, to convey them to the Bay; but that she had not left her anchorage. We went into one of the native houses, out of the rain, where were a great many Chiefs sitting; among whom was Kahakaha. On entering into conversation with them, we introduced the subject of Religion; upon which we told them the peace of their country mainly, if not wholly, depended; asking them, at the same time, what good they received of a temporal nature from war to which they replied, "None." While we were thus conversing, Kahakaha said we were a set of liars, thieves, and bewitchers: he had believed, until two of his children died; and then he threw it away. He thought, of course, that, if he believed, he should not die; but when he found that his two children died, and that our God had killed them, he then threw it away: it was I who killed so many of them. He then charged Mr. Williams with having bewitched his brother: to which Mr. Williams jocularly replied, "What then?" Kahakaha now became very angry, and tried to take away a hatchet that Mr. Williams had brought from Waikato for the Chief of the Ngatipaua tribe, who was then present; but he could not. He next endeavoured to take Mr. Williams's cloak from him, and tore it. Mr. Williams then asked him for payment, for having torn his cloak; and he gave him his old sword, which Mr. Williams did not take away. This is the same man who was once considered to be altogether a Bible Christian; which shows how easily we may be mistaken in forming our judgment of the state of any person's mind, from his paying us a visit; and how necessary it is to see the works, as well as listen to

the words of one so sunk in barbarity and every kind of cruelty and superstition, before we pronounce him to be a Christian.

Ho

May 20, 1835 - Mr. Morgan, Mr. Preece, and myself, went to Kaumaranga, a native fortification, where all the principal Chiefs of the Thames were assembled. They had come there about a Chief who was accidentally shot by a slave smoking a pipe over a loaded musket. As, however, peace between them and the Waikato Natives had not been made, war was the main object for which they had met, and the main subject of their speeches, which were delivered yesterday; and, as I was going to Waikato, I was mentioned in connexion with other things, because I was going through their territory. reta, who is now the oldest Chief of any note in the Thames, having just returned from his southern trip to the Bay, was asked, as a matter of course, what was his opinion respecting my going by way of Tamaki. What the answer was I cannot tell, as I was not here; but I believe he disapproved of it, not from any dislike to me personally, but to the Tribe among whom I was going. A terrible thunder-storm, attended with a very heavy gust of wind, which blew down the temporary houses of nearly all the Natives who had come from the opposite side, came on soon after our arrival; and while in conversation with the Waka-, tiwai Chiefs, into whose houses I fled in vain for refuge from the hail-for the house that I was in was stripped of its covering-I got very wet. I consequently returned to my colleagues in the tent; who told me that it was with difficulty that they had kept the tent standing. After tea, old Horeta came to our tent; and we had at least two hours' conversation with him, respecting Waikato affairs, and other topics. He told me not to go by way of Tamaki; but upon my telling him that I had neither arms nor ammunition to put into the hands of the others, but, on the contrary, should recommend peace, he did not press his objection.

Mediterranean Mission-By Letters received from the Rev. C. W. Isenberg, dated Adowah, July 11th, and Aug. 28th, 1836, we learn, that though the Rev. S. Gobat's health had improved (p. 123), yet it was in so precarious a state as to render it necessary for him to leave Abyssinia for Caïro, on his way to Europe, with a view to its restoration and that the Rev. Joseph Wolff, who was then at Adowah, kindly engaged to accompany Mr. Gobat as far as Jidda, in order to render him any assistance he might require. Mr. Wolff, in a Letter, dated Jidda, Oct. 6, 1836, informs us that Mr. and Mrs. Gobat and himself had safely arrived at Jidda; that Mr. and Mrs. Gobat purposed embarking on that day for Cosseir; and that he was about to return again to Abyssinia, in prosecution of his own intended journey into the interior of Africa.

Mrs. Isenberg was safely delivered of a daughter, on the 23d of May last.

Ceylon Mission-The Rev. J. Bailey, in a Letter dated July 25, 1836, informs us, that the Rev. G. S. Faught and Mrs. Faught were expected to leave in August following, on their return home, on account of ill health.

Australasia Mission-The Rev. W. Cowper, in a Letter, dated Sydney, June 13, 1836, communicates the painful intelligence of the decease of the Rev. R. Hill, Secretary of the Corresponding Committee there, who died suddenly, on the 30th of May, 1836. Mr. Cowper remarks :

The Church of God here has been deprived of a zealous and useful Minister; and your Society has lost a Member and a friend, who always felt and uniformly manifested a deep and lively interest in all her proceedings, and laboured much to promote her pious and benevolent designs, also to obtain for her the countenance and support of the community in which Divine Providence had appointed his temporary abode.

We have the satisfaction to learn, that the Bishop of Australia has accepted the office of Patron of the Australasia Auxiliary Church Missionary Society.

The Rev. W. Yate, in a Letter, dated Sydney, June 13, 1836, informs us that himself, Miss Yate, the Rev. R. Taylor, Mrs. Taylor and children, and John Bedggood and family, arrived at Sydney' on that day, in health and safety (p. 41).

By despatches dated July 16, 1836,

just received, we learn also, that the Rev. W. Yate will remain at Sydney for a short time, to supply the place of the late Rev. R. Hill, till a successor can be provided; and that the Rev. R. Taylor was unable to proceed to New Zealand, at present, on account of the sickness of his children.

Mr. S. H. Ford, who sailed from Gravesend on the 17th ult. (p. 278), in a Letter, dated "City of Edinburgh,' off Plymouth, Nov. 30, 1836, gives the following particulars of the imminent danger to which they were exposed in the storm on the 29th inst. :

About 8 o'clock yesterday morning, a most violent gale of wind came on, blowing a perfect hurricane, whilst we lay at anchor in Plymouth Sound. Our ship unfortunately broke from its moorings; and drove us with most frightful rapidity towards the shore, for upward of three miles, till we were within only a cable length of the many rocks which beset it. In a few more seconds, nothing, humanly speaking, could have saved us from being dashed to pieces upon them, without the prospect of a single life being saved. In this critical dilemma, the Captain,

with the greatest presence of mind, ordered the masts to be cut down as quickly as possible; and the tremendous crash, with which they fell, I shall never forget. We were all

ordered to hold ourselves in readiness, as we were expected to go to pieces in a few mo ments: but He who holdeth the waters in the hollow of His hand was pleased to bless the means thus used; and the ship immediately righted herself, and rode at anchor; although, before, she had broken one, and the second could not restrain her. Thus have we been saved from almost certain shipwreck; and the voice of joy is put into our lips, even praise to the God of our Salvation. We have just been turned into the Catwater; where the ship must undergo her repairs, which will occupy at least three weeks.

West-Indies' Mission-Mr. J. N. Williams (p. 278), in a Letter dated off Deal, Nov. 30th, 1836, informs us, that he, and the party with him, had been placed in circumstances of great danger, in attempting to proceed from the Downs, in consequence of the late tempestuous weather; but that they had been graciously preserved, and were safely at anchor off Deal.
