with the reward of his labours. Possessed with heartfelt love for souls, he appears to have continually before him, as his motto, 'Work while it is day; for the night cometh in which no man can work;' he is instant in season and out of season. From his letter of the 15th inst., we make the following extract:--'I have great pleasure in stating that the Lord in his great mercy continues to bless our feeble instrumentality, thirty-two have been brought to the knowledge of the truth, and added to the church by baptism since October last; and we continue to carry the word of life into thirteen villages, in many of which the power and glory of God are seen and felt. Glory be to his name. At _Langtree_, we have long mourned the lack of room, but I am happy to state that a chapel which will contain about 150 is nearly finished.

(_From the Times._) A second edition of a "Remonstrance addressed to the Lord Bishop of London, on the Sanction given, in his late Charge to the Clergy of that Diocese, to the Calumnies against the Dissenters contained in certain Letters signed L. S. E.," has recently appeared, with the respectable name of Mr. Charles Lushington.
