Nor do we consider ourselves called upon to take any particular notice of the “flippant” article which appears in a paper of last night—the sinister motives of the writer being too evident, to require any further elucidation.

To account for such conduct on the part of one whose calling is so sacred, is an easy task. The hn- pulse of all his actions is developed in his airidity for gain.

Madrid. Aug. 16.—“The Government has received news from Cadiz, dated 10th inst. The King and his

tations. One prayer which Johnny offers up at the shrine of the saints, in his late speech at Leeds, is “to exhort the meeting to send out as many Missionaries as

august family were in good health. The discontent of Poss^ e- ١٢e h٠Pe ٤٥ God, that the Legislature of

the troops of the line, and of the inhabitants is loudly ؛ manifested, and, in consequence of which, the Royalists ؛ no longer restrain the expression of their sentiments of fidelity.”

“Paris. Aug. 22.—The Madrid Gazette of the 16th inst. contains in its official division the Decree of the Regency relative to persons confined, which has been forwarded to all the tribunals and judicial officers of the kingdom. It has the following preamble:—

،، The continually increasing number of arrests which the people, in the excess of their zeal and love for the sacred person of the King, cause to be made of the persons of different individuals, under pretext of their adhesion to the Constitutional System, has more par­ticularly claimed the attention of the Regency of the Kingdom, the members of which, impressed with the necessity of remedying these evils, and of the general disorder which might result therefrom, have deemed it incumbent upon them to renew the enactment of the Royal Decree of the 1st June, 1814, by which the King, our Sovereign, prevented similar disorders at the period of his return to Spain from France.”

[ Here follows the Decree of the King, Which interdicts arbitrary arrests on the pretext of political opinions.]

this Colony will take Johnny’s supplication into imme- diate consideration -and that before a fresh assortment ؛of the wolves in sheeps’ clothing can be landed at the King’s stelling—it will, in its wisdom, enact such law.s, as shall not only prevent the importation of any fresh Methodists into this Colony, but shall go, by a supple­mentary clause, to provide for the safe KX-portation of those who may be already here. This devoted settle­ment has had too many examples of the pernicious ten­dency of Missionary preaching among the Negroes, to need any’ more.

The conclusion of Mr Davies’s discourse is affirma- tory of a practice, which we have so frequently repre-

This perfectly agrees with what Mr Smith of Le Rcsouvenir, stated some time ago, in a letter addressed to, and inserted by, us,—that he received no money from the Negroes, but what was asked from, the Pulpit!* We are to understand, of course, that these contributions are voluntary—but we know to the contrary. The Negroes are not so fond of parting with their idol, for the support of Missions, of which they can understand nothing, as Mr Davies would wish us to suppose. Money is asked for from the Pulpit, and no purer plan١could, by any possibility, be hit upon to obtain it. Such pilfering, under the plea of extending the benefits of religion, is most unjust and criminal. Mr Davies acknowledges that he has received “pecuniary assistance to a considerable amount,” both from his Excellency General Murray, and the community at large—but not content with this, in his utter greediness, he levies fresh contributions upon the

LETTERS ON THE STATE OE CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA.

By the Abbe J٠ A. Dubois, Mission, T ill Mysore.

(From the Literary Gazette.)

Involving and discussing a question of tlie utrriost in- terest, it is with regret we find ourselves compelled to say that the statements and arguments cont؛dned in this, appiirently candid and lionest volume, seem to US to be decisive against tlie practicability of converting the na- tives of India to the Cliristian faith, and hardly less so against tile utility of attempting to circulate the scrip- tures among tliem. The experience of a great many years,'and tie extent of information possessed by the autlior of the " Description of the people of India,” would give mucli weight to the opinions here maintain- ed, even were they more questionable than they-are on the score of obvious prejudice, or of leaning towards theory. But a Roman Gatliolic Missionary can hardly lie suspected of Ilindooism; and ١ve ear that the friends of Bible Societies and other Institutions, formed to pro- mote tlie conversion of the heatlien, must feel that in tliis populous portion of the eartli at least their zealous and benevolent efforts are nearly, if not altogether, hopeless. It is with paiil we make tills confession, but -truth compels it; and we must be satisfied with tlie trust that Providence will in its own good tinie vindi- cate its own ways, ill respect to the millions of Asia.

The present work is in the form of Letter ; and though repetitions are not always avoided,' there are s'o man۶ fac¿ disclosed and so Iftucli intelligence com-

So universal is the feeling expressed in our paper o he will answer the first question by 'telling Ilim, that Wednesday, of tliepropi'ietyofthe con nunity؛ at lar؛e the beneficial effects of Mr Elliott’s ministry are to be

seen, in his prostitution of their wives and daughters!- and the second, by informing him, tliat tlie voluntary .,contributions levied for its support, are collected in a calabash, sent round for that purpose after prayers, -the chapel-doors are locked, that no one may es اسالcape!!!— What will the Leeds weavers think of' this? But the voluntary contributions of the negroes is well known here to be all a liumbug; and to say more upon it is useless. Parson Davies himself did not distribute his lectures for nothing—nor did he part with his bibles and prayer-books for Christian charity’s sake alone—' eight guilders for tlie one, and fiye or six for the other, were demanded and extorted from the poor negroes,

'.'all for the purpose of a voluntary contribution to the “support of missions/”

John Dairies had better be cautious. These are times teeming with awful events, and productive of dis- closures and discoveries, which renders no man safe. If Johnny, however, persists in gulling the Jolin Bull’s into “voluntary contributions,” by falsehood, misre-' presentation, and so forth, much longer, we sliall be under tile necessit.y of having Ilim indicted for tlie ob- tention of money under false pretences, according to 'the act made and provided for in such cases.

In adverting to the speecli made by the Rev. Mr Townley, a missionary from Hindostan, we haye only to say a few words, as it is ,affected by a publication lately published by tire Abbe Dubois؛ a. missionary who .resided thirty years among the Hindostans'. Mr Town- ley is by no means a follower of Mr Dairies. He deals not in the mai’vellous ami miraculous tales of his col- league; nor does he interlard his observations with slices of self-approbation and conceit. His speech is rather made up of prayers and lamentations, and ex- pressions more of what may be looked for among the Hindostans, tlian wliat has actuillly been accomplished,. Every body knows of the excessive superstition indulged in by this race of people, and of the horrible barbarity of some of their rites. Now tlie Alibe Dubois has published a work, extracts from which, together with the reviewer’s obsei'vations, will be found in this num- ber—wherein -lie distinctly and positively asserts, that, from an experience of upwards o[thirty years’ residence among the Hindostans, it is liis firm and unalterable opinion, tliat the conversion of this people to Chris- tianity is impracticable.

We shall leave our readers to draw their own con- elusions how far such an opinion- is applicable to the conversion of our slaves—only requesting, that they will peruse with attention .the extracts we have alluded to. -The following is frora لح Townley’s speech:— ؛ ،أجءح ؟ rm؛

،، Til؛ Hindoos were, generally speaking, idolaters; but إ bar afittfei

taut book, whether by tliose who are convinced by ft, or by those who mil؛ doubt its arguments and desire to refute them. For we are free to declare that some answer is absolutely requisite from the supporters of

I tion to the Eastern world; for the Abbe DulO’i٠s is not .and will not easily be overcome ؛a coni lion opponent د

“ His notiO s on the su ct.(he tells us) are derived from an expei'ience of th ty-two years of confidential and quite u e trained intercourse among tlie natives of India, ofall castes, religions, and ranks; during which, in order to Wil their confidence and reDove suspicion; as tar as possible, he has constantly lived like the n, ein؛ hieing their milliners, customs, nd most of then pre- judices, in his dress, his diet, their rules of civility and good-breeding, and tlieir mode of intercourse in time world. But the restraints under wliich lie has liv'ed during so long a period of his life, have proved of no advantage to him in promoting the sacred cause ill whicli lie was engaged as a religious teacher. During that time he lias vainly in his exertions to promote the cause of Christianity, watered tlie soil of India with his sats and many times with his tears, at the sight of the quite insurmountable obduracy of the people he had to deal witli; ready to water It with his blood, if his. doing so had been able to overcome tile invincible resistance he ؛¡ad to encounter every W'here, in his u d ۶vour^ to dissepiinate some gleams' of the evangelical light. Every where the seeds sown by him have ridden upon a naked rock, and have instantly died away.

“ At length, entirely disgusted at the total inutility of his pursuits, ؛and wr ؛ed by his grey hair that ؛it .wa full time to tliink of liis own concerns, lie lias returned to Europe, to pass in retirement the few days lie may still have to live, and get ready to give in his accounts to his Redeemer.”

Copying the example of the persevering Jesuits,* the first who attempted to proselytize India, the Abbe ؛opt- ed the native manners, and ¿onformed to their - prejudices. Yet he, with all tlie.imposing externals of his religion to boot, and with diligence nd assiduity؛ utterly (ailed : what then can we expect from tire la- bours of others?

“The question to be considered may be reduced to these two po'ints; 'First, I tliei'e a possibility of making real converts to Christianity among the natives in India؟ Secondly, Are the means emplo el forthat purpose, and ahove all, the translation of the Holy Scriptures io the id oms of the country, likely to conduce to this desirable object?

“To both interrogatories (says the Abbe)I will an- swer ill the negative: it is my decided opinion, first, that under existing circumstances, there is no human possibility ot' converting tlie Hindoos to any sect of Christianity; and, secondly, that tile translation of the Holy Scriptures circulated among tliem, so far from conducing to this end, .will, on the-., contrary, increase the prejudice of' the natives against -'the Christian i ll gon, and prove in many respects detrimental to it..”

Dilating on tliis judgment, the author in various places asserts: .'٠»

“The Cliristian l'eligion is at the present time be- com؟ so odious, that in several parts of the counti-y a H'indoo, wlio should happen to have friends or con- nexions among tlie naives professing tliis religion, ivould not dare to own it in public, as he would e exposed to severe reproof for holding a familar intercourse with (in their opinion) people so degraded.

“ Such is the state of degradation to which Christi- anity has been reduced in tnese latter times; and which piust be imputed in a great degree to the liimorid and irregular conduct of'many Europeans, in every part of the country.

'، Besides tie Christians .of the Catholic persuasion, there are still existing in some parts of the couitry small congregations of the Lutheran sect; but they are hell, if possible, in a still liiglier degree of contempt

One of these persons told ؛ - -him that he (Mr Townley) was a baby in the knowledge of God; and, on being asked who God was, said, that he him­self was God. He (Mr Townley) called on him for his attributes, his omniscience, his holiness, his po١ver; and, being pressed on this point, the man replied in Sanscrit, so that he might not be understood. Surely this man was one of those who, ،،professing themselves wise, became fools.” In Bengal, there was not one Hindoo who professed to ٦vorship God, who deemed it bis duty to serve his Creator. The idolater turned away from it as a matter too high for him, and the wise man deemed himself God, without any superior. The consequence ٦vas, that there was no temple built to God, not one temple consecrated to the uncreated Deity: there was no dictate in their Shasters—،، Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Might we not say then of these poor heathens, that they were without God and without hope in the world? With regard to their knavery, their uncleanness, their cruelty, it would be easy for him to amplify, but at that hour of tlie

* “ The Jesuits began their work under favourable aus- pices, aiid made a great number of converts among all Ci s- tes. of Hindoos, in those countries where they were allowed the free -exercise of their Teligioire func.tions. It appears from authentic list, made up about several years ago, that the number of native Christians in these countries was as follow's, viz. in the Marawa about 30,000, in the Madura above 100,000, in tlie Carnatic 80,000, in Mysore 36,000.— At the present tine hardly a third of tliis number is to be found in these districts respectively.”

Pope Benedict XIV. liaving interfered to prevent the Jesuits from conforming too n uch to I'lindoo customs, &c. his “ orders were reluctantly complied with : but what the- Jesuits had foreseen bhppenl a great number of prose- lytes preferred renouncing the new religion to abandoning their practices. A stop wa put to conversions; ard the

to come odious to the Hindoos ontheir practices.Christian religion began ( account of its intoleianco.

،، At that very time happened the European invasion, and the bloody contests for dominion between the English an،J French. The Europeans, til؛ then almost entirelv unknown to the natives in rhe interior, introduced themselves in se- ٦؛ eral wavs and under various denominations into every part of the country. The Hindoos soon found that those mis­sionaries, ivbom their colour, their talents, and other quali­ties, had induced them to regard as such extraordinary beings as men coming from another world, were in fact nothing else but disguised Fringy (Europeans;) and that their coun­try, their religion, and original education, were the same with those of the vile, the contemptible Fringy, wlio had of late invaded their country. 'Phis event proved the last blow to the interests of the Christian religion. No more conver­sions were made; apostasy became almost general in seve­ral quarters; and Christianity became more and more an ob­ject of conteinpt and aversion, in proportion as the Euro­pean manners became better known to the Hindoos.

،، Nearly at tliat period the suppression of the order of the Jesuits took place in Europe; and there being no longer a sufficient number of missionaries, a national black clergy was formed, and the attendance on the remaining congre­gations entrusted to their care. Those native missionaries not having the advantage of a proper education, and many amongst them showing themselves more attached to their own interests than to those of religion, enjoy but little consi­deration even among their flocks, and npue among the na­tives of any other description.

.،،Such is the abridged history of the rise, the progress, and decline of the Christian religion in India. 'Hie low state to which it is now reduced, and contempt in ivhich it is held, cannot be surpassed. There is not at present in tlie country (as mentioned before) more than a third of the Christians who were to be found in it eight days ago, and this number diminishes every day by frequent apostasy. It will dwindle to nothing in a short period; and if things con­tinue as they are noiv going on, within less than fifty years there will, I fear, remain no vestige of Christianity among the natives.

،، The Christian religion, which was formerly an oliject of indifference, or utmost of contempt, is at present become, I will venture to say, almost an object of horror. It is cer­tain that during tlie last sixty years no proselytes, or but a very few,have been made.؛’

tant٠sects٦vill ever prosper mnong them? T enta ry has still now been the case. ■ I ha e jut ob e d hat th L h ran missionaries ha e had no Sensible

success during .more than a century.. At the present time heir congregations are reduced to four or five : the most worthy of notice are, one at Vepery near Ma- dras, consisting of about five or six hundred souls ;ano- her¿ Traar, composed of about twelve hundred;

another at Tanjoe, of nearly the same number; and a fourth at of shout three or four undred.

،، There are besides a few protestant Christians dis- persed chiefly in tlie Tinnivelly district, but in such, small numbers that they do not deserve the name of

،، In the mean time, do not suppose that those _thin congregations ؟re wholly cornposed of concerted pa- gans; at least half consists of catholic apostates, who. went over to the Lutheran sect in times of famine, or from other interested motives.

“ It is not unc -mmon on.the coast to see natives who successively pass from one religion to another, accord- ing to theii- actal interest. In my last journey to Ma- dras, I became acquainted with native converts who re- gularly changed their religion twice a year, and wlio for a long while were in tlie hit of being six months ca- thol, and six .months protestant. ---

“ Respecting .tlie new missionaries, of seyeral sects, who have of' late years made theii- appearance in the country, you may rest assured, as far ؟s my information on the subject goes, that notwithstanding the pompous reports made by several a non them, all their endea-

ours to make converts haye still now proed abort e, and that their successes are only to be seen on paper.”

Tliese are strong arguments on the question of pro- selytism, and the following are difficult positions on that of' circulating tlie Bible:

“ I will (says the Abb¿) resume my subject, and show that the naked text of the Bible, exhibited without a long previous preparation to tie Hindoos, must piove detrimental to the Chi-istian religion, and increase their aversion to it, inasmuch as this sacred book contains in ¿lmost every page accounts which .cannot fail deeply to wound tlieir feelings, by openly hurting prejudices which are held most sacred. '

“ To you who have some acquaintance with the edu- cation and customs ٠of the Hindoos, I trill put the fol- lowing simple questio.ns :

.“ ٦Vhat will a well-bred native think, when, on read- ing over this holy book, he sees.that Abraham; after re- ceiving the risit of three angels 'under a human shape, entertains his guests by causing a calf to be killed, and served to them for their fare ? The prejudiced Hindoo will at once judge that both Abraham and his heavenly gnests were nothing but rile pariahs; and, without fui-- ther reading; he will forthwith throw away the book, containing (in his opinion) such sacrilegious accounts.

“ What will a Brahmin say, when he peruses the de- tails of the bloody sacrifices prescribed in the Mosaical law in the worship of the true God ? He will assured- ly declai-e, ’that the god who could be pleased with tlie -shedding of the blood of so many victims immolated to his honour, must undoubtedly be a diety of the same kind (far be from, me the blasphemy) as tlie mischievous Hindoo deities, Lolly, Mahry, Darma-raiah, and other infernal gods, whose wrath cannot be appeased fiut by the shedding -of‘blood; and. the immolating of living vic- tims. '-

« But, above all, what will a Brahmin 'or any other wellbred Hindoo think, when lie pel-uses in our holy "books tlie account of the immolating of creatures held most sacred by him ? What will be his feelings, when he sees that the immolating of oxen and bulls consti- tilted a leading feature in tlie religious ordinances of the Israelites, and.that the blood of tliose most sacred ani- mals was almost daily .slied at the shrine of the god they adored ? What will be his feelings when he sees, that after Solomon had at imme.ose expense and labour built-a magnificent temple in honour of' the true God, he made the pratista or consecration of it, by causing .22.000 oxen to be slaughtered, and overflowing his new temple with the bool of these sacred .rictus? He will certainly in perusing accounts (in his opinion so horribly sacrilegious,) shudder, and be seized with tie 'liveliest horror, look on the book containing such shock- ing details as an abominable work (far be from me, oice moi-e, the blasphemy, I am expressing the feelings of a prejudiced Pagan,) trow it away with indignation,

himself as polluted for having touched it, go immediately to the river for tiepurpose of purifying himself by ablutions Rom the defilement he thinks he has contracted, and before he again entei-s his house, he will semi for a Poorohita Brahmin to perfoi-m the re- quisite ceremonies for purifying it from the defilement it has contracted, by ignorantly keeping within its walls so polluted a thing as the Bih e.

“ In the mean wliile he will become more and more confirmed in the idea, that a religion which derives its tenets fi'om so impure a source is altogether detestable, and that those who profess it, must be the basest and

-vilest of men.“ Such are the effects which, in my humble opinion,

the reading of the naked text of the Bible, cannot fail to produce on the unprepared minds of the prejudiced Hindoos.

“ I have only cited the above instances, being the first wliicli occurred t.o my mind in writing this letter; but I ,could point out in aRnost every chapter o holy writ passages nearly as exception hie, ad whicli it would be equally dangerous to exhibit without a long previous explanation to the prejudiced Hindoo.

“ On the whole, it is my decided opinion, that to open all at- once and without a long .preparation? this piecious treasure, to tlie Hindoos, would be similar to attempting to cure a person labouring under severe sore eyes, by obliging him to stare at the rays of a shining sun, at the' risk of rendering him altogether blind. Or at least of being altogetlier dazzled and con- founded by an excess'of liglit. It would be the same as the administering of solid food to young babes, whilst .their weak stomachs 'are hardly adequate to digest milk of the-iightest kind; it is exactly '(to use the lan- guageofthe scriptires,) ، to give that which is holy unto the dogs, and cast peai’ls before swine it is ‘ to put wine into old bottle؛, which break, and the W’ine runneth 0’ut, and the bottles perish.’ ”

As opposed to tile efforts of missionaries, tlie Abbe states instances of n'ative feelings powerfully operative:

“ Being at Carricaul, about twenty-eight years ago, I preached'on a Sunday to' th.e assembled congregation a sermon in the Til¿¿/language, on tlie dirine origin of the Christian religion. Among other topics to prove my subject, I .insisted on the intrinsic weakness and in- adequacy of'the means employedin the establishment of this religion, generally hated and persecuted everywhere, quite destitute of ،111 human support, and left to its own resources amidst every kind of contradictions. I several time's repeated, in treating this topic, that the Christian religion had for its founder a peasant of Galilee, the son ¿fa humble carpenter, who .took for ilis assistants twelve ignorant and illiterate fishermen. These )vords, the son of a, carpenter! twelve fishermen! many times repeated.

gave offence to my audience, which wa? eiitircl٦r •com­posed of native، Christians; and the sermon was no sooner finished than three or four of the principal a- mong them came and informed me, that the whole con­gregation had been hig’ily scandalized by hetiring me ap­ply to Christ the appellation of the son of a carpenter and to his apostles that of fishermen ; that I could not be ignorant that the casts both of carpenters ajid fishermen were two of the lowest and vilest in the country; that it was highly improper to attribute to Christ and his disciples so low and abject an origin;, that if pagans, who sometimes come through motives of curiosity to their religious assemblies, heard such objec­tionable accounts of our religion, their contempt and hatred of it would be considerably increased, &c. &c. Finally, they advised me, if in future I had occasion to mention in my sermons the origin of Christ or his apos­tles, not to fail to say that both were born in the noble tribe of Icshytrys or rajahs, and never to mention their low profession.

،، Another instance of the kind happened to me a few years ago in this part of the country, when, in explain­ing to the congregation the parable of the Prodigal Son in the Gospel, I mentioned the circumstances of the prodigal’s father ha١٢ing, through joy, killed the fatted calf to regale his friends, on account of the return of his reformed son. After the lecture some Christians told me, in rather bad humour, that my mentioning the fat- ted calf was very improper, and that if, as sometimes happened, pagans had been present at the lecture, they would have been confirmed, on hearing of the fattened calf, in the opinion they all entertained of the Christian religion being a low, or pariah religion. They advised me, in the mean time, if in futlire I gave an explanation of the same parable, to substitute a lamb instead of the fatted calf

“ In fact, even with our native Christians, we are careful to avoid all that might wound their feelings to no purpose, and increase in the public mind the jealousy and contempt entertained against them and their reli­gion. For example, as the use of intoxicating liquors is extremely odious to all ١vell-bred Hindoos, and con­sidered by them as a capital sin, when we explain ver­bally or in writing the sacrament of the eucharist, we ate cautious not to say openly that the materials of this sacrament are bread and wine, or charayam, (literally, wine,) which would prove too revolting to their feel­ings ; we have therefore the precaution to soften this coarse term by a periphrasis, saying that the materials of the eucharist are wbeaten bread, and the juice of the fine fruit called grape ; which expressions become more pa­latable to theii• taste.”

The Neophytes are after all very odd sort of Chris­tians._ ،، The greater part (continues the writer) exhibit no­thing but a vain phantom, an empty shade of Christi­anity. In fact, during a period of t١venty-fi١٢e years that I have familiarly conversed with them, lived among them as their religious teacher and spiritual guide, I would hardly dare to affirm that I have any ١vhere met a sincere and undisguised Christian.

،، In embracing the Christian religion, they very sel­dom heartily renounce their leading superstitions, to­wards which they always entertain a secret bent, which does not fail to manifest itselfin the several occurrences of life; and in many circumstances where the precepts of their religion are found to be in opposition to tlieir leading usages, they rarely scruple to overlook the for­mer, and conform themselves to the latter.

،، Besides, in order to make true Christians among the natives, it would be necessary before all things, to erase from the code of the Christian religion, the great leading precept of charity ; for, try to persuade a Hin­doo that this religion places all men on equal footing in the sight of God, our common Maker and Father;،،،• that the being born in a high caste, authorises nobody to look with indifference or contempt on the persons born in a lower tribe ; —that even the exalted Brahmii^ after embracing Christianity, ought to look upon th٦ humble pariah as his brother, and be ready to bestow؛ upon him all marks ofkindness and love in his power;— try to prevail upon the Christian Hindoo to forgive an often imaginary injury, such as would be that of being

. .... ’.’■٠ ٦ ،..................................’ ٠٧ ” 1vain usages ;—try to persuade even the low-born pariah, i that after turning a Christian, he ought for ever to re­nounce the childish distinction of Right and Left Hand,, ؛ upon which he lays so much stress, and which he con-٨ siders as the most honourable characteristic of hi^

Left Hand proves a ’source of continual quarrel, figh١٠ ing, and animosity, it becomes wholly incompatible ١vi t١،

the first duties imposed upon him by the Christian reli­gion, and must altogether be laid aside ; —try to prevail upon parents, in opposition to the established customs, to permit a young widow, their daugnter, who, on ac­count of her youth, is exposed to dishonour both her­self and family, to marry again ; so to act in opposition to any of their leading usages and practices ; your lec­tures, your instructions, your expostulations on such subjects, will be of no avail; and your Christians will con­tinue to live the slaves of their Antichristian prejudices and customs.

،، When their religious instruction become too trouble- some to them, by their importunate admonitions on such subjects, they often put themselves in a state of insur­rection, revolt against them, and bid them defiance, by threats of apostacy.

،، The Hindoo pageantry is chiefly seen in the festi­vals celebrated by the native Christians. rFheir proces­sions in the streets, always performed in the night time, have indeed been to me at all times a subject of shame. Accompanied with hundreds of tom toms, (small-drums.) trumpets, and all the discordant noisy music of the country7; with numberless torches, and fire-works—the statue of the saint placed on a car, which is charged with garlands of flowers, and other gaudy ornaments; according to the taste of the country,—the car slowly dragged by7 a multitude shouting all along the march— the congregation surrounding the car all in confusion, several among them dancing, or playing with small sticks, or with naked swords; some wrestling, some playing the fool; all shouting, or conversing with each other, without any one exhibiting the least sign of respect or devotion. Such is the mode in which the Hindoo Christians in the inland country celebrate their festivals. They are celebrated, however, with a little more de­cency on the coast. They are all exceedingly pleased with such a mode of worship, and any thing short of such pageantry, such confusion and disorder, would not be liked by them.”

As a proof how lightly7 they prize their faith, the Ab­be states that when in 1784 Tippoo Saib seized 60,000 Christians (all that could be found in his dominions in one day) and carried them to Seringapatam, not one of the whole number refused to abjure and be circumcised— not one of them ،، possessing resolution enough to say, ، I am a Christian, and I will die rather than renounce my religion J ”٦

Summing up his reasoning as far as his own experi­ence goes, the Abbe honestly declares—

،، For my part, I cannot boast of my successes in this holy career, during a period of twenty-five years that I have laboured to promote the interests of the Christian religion. The restraints and privations under ١vhich I have lived, by conforming myself to the usages of the country; embracing؛ in many respects, the prejudices of t؛ie natives; living like them, and becoming almost a Hindoo myself; in short, by ، being made all things to ail men, that I might by all means •iave. some,’-»-all thi٠ '

tfiemselves. to be possessed by the devil, and who turn- ed Christians, after having been assured that on their receiving baptism tlie unclean spirits would leave them, never to return; and I will declare it, with shame and confusion, that I do not remember any one wlio may be said to have embraced Cliristianity from conviction, and througli quite disinterested motives. Among these new converts many apostatised, and relapsed into Pa- ganism, finding that the Christian religion did not af-- ford tlieni tile temporal advantages they liatl looked for in embracing it; and I am verily ashamed, tliat tlie resolution I liave taken to tleclare the whole truth on this subject forces me to make tlie liumiliating ؛ivowal, that tliose who continued Christians are tlie very worst among my fl'ock. ---

“ In fact, the conversion of the Himloos, under ex- isting ؟ircumstances, is so hopeless a tiling, and tlieir prejudices ؛؛gainst it are so dee’ply ropted, and so de- idedly declared, that I am firmly persuaded, that if؟(wliat has never been the case) the Hindoo Bi-ahmins were animated by a spirit ctf proselytism, and sent to

nip re chance of success, among certain classes ol'soci- ty, thin we have to make among tliem true converts to tlie faith in Christ.”

Well are we aware that the obstacles tlius so afflict- ingly stated, are calculated to excite the warmer zeal of those who cherish the praiseworthy liesign of spreading Chri tianity over the earth ; .and we trust it will be. believed that we only array these arguments to- gether in order to sliow them the. extent of tlieir diffi. culties, not to dishearten the'm in the prosecution of their benevolent work.*

A‘ defence of the Hindoos closes this vPlune, to which we’ean only refer the. curious; iind furnish our notice with the author’s ojiinion of tlie versions of Scripture n'o.w in circulation؛ but particularly tlie Ca- nada version, (of wliicli he gives a literal taanslation of the 1st chapter-of Genesis):-

" I haye been so thoroughly disgusted in going through tlie translation of tile first chapter, that I beg you will excuse me tlie trouble of translating the three others.

- - - If one of the many proofs of'our holy books being of ilivine origin be derived from their intrinsical worth, from-their noble, -inimitable, anil majestic sim- plicity, there is, alas إ on the otlier liand, but too much reason to fear that the Hindoos will form a directly op- posite judgment on the subject, wlien tliey behold tlie ludicrous, vulgar, and almost unintelligible style of tlie versions at present circulatated among them; and tliat even the most reasonable and best disposed, in lieliold- ing our Holy Scriptures under such a contemptible sh؟pe٠ so far from looking upon them as the word of' God? will, on the contrary, be strongly impelled to consider them as forgeries of .some ohscure, ignorant, an,،! illiterate individual, and of course a downight im- posture. It is, howe.ver, to execute sucli perform nes, (for tlie Tamoul and Telinga versions, parts of which I have also perused, liave not appeared دل me superior t آ

‘this,) that public credulity in Europe is imposed 'Upon, and itiXiietise sums of inmrey are subscribed. "

" You may rest persuaded, -tliat.all those soi-disant , translations will soon find their way to the bazar streets, to be solil there, as waste paper, .to the country grocers, for the purpose of wrapping their drugs in them; anil indeed', in my humble opinion, tliey are fit for nothing else.

،، I express to you my sentiments on tlie subject with candour, and without hypocrisy, as you have re-

publicly upbraided'with haring violated any one of their quested me so to do, and I am ready fearlessly to ex- د—-د-------د ١-— "ا“' “آل-'-- ---- - press tile sane, in the presence o،' the Billie Society it-

self, and of all tlie universities in Europe ; for my opi- j nion, (.let tliem give 'it the appellation of prejudice, of

ignorance, or obstinacy, it is tlie same to me,) being grounded on an inward conviction, the result of a long and attentive experience, is unalterable.”

With this strong opinion we leave the case to the public judgment.

٠ There ,is another important consideration which ouglit to be calmly weighed .at tliis period, when we even see pe- titions presented to Parliament on the subject.

“ On the whole(:؟ the Abbe,) from all that has corn within my knowledge,.I observe, with sorrow, tliat the in- terference of the new reformers to improve tlie condition of the Hindoos lias thus far produced more evil .than good.— In support of' this assertion, I will content myself with Ct- ing the two following striking instances;

“ The first relates to tile burning of widows on tlie pile of their deceased husbands. It is an indubitable fact, fully confirmed by the official reports of the local magistrates, tliat since tlie clamours raised in Europe and Inilia, and since tlie country gover.nment lias judged fit to interfere, to a certain degree, in order to render it less frequent, it lias come more into fashion, and more prevalent. I liave seen lists, of t e victims devoting themselves to that cruel super- stition; and I liave observed, tliat in tlie districts of Calcut- ta and Benarez, where the Irorrid practice is most common tlie number of victims lias been of late miich greater than it Wils about twelve years ago, when the natives were left to themselves, and nobody presumed to interfere with tlieir customs.-----

- - - “ Owing to their abrupt attacks on tlie most deep laiq prejudices of the country, tlie zeal of tlie Hindoos liad been roed to a determined spirit of opposition an'd resis- tance, when tiley saw theii- -most sacred customs and prac- tices publicly reviled, laughe.d at, and turned into l-idicule by words, and in writing, in numberless religious tracts, circulated with profusion, in every direction, all over the country.’.

EXTRACTSFrom Captain Booke's travels through Sweden, Norway, fie

[Just Published.]The following traits are given of the inhabitants of

the frontiers of Norway :٠٠—،، Two things at Moshuns equally curious attracted

my notice. One of these ١vas an organ, perfect in its parts, with a variety of stops, made by a common pea­sant ; who, though self-taught, had displayed great me­chanical abilities. A foreigner is greatly surprised at the various talents of the Norwegian peasantry, and the ingenuity which they display in the manufacture of every thing requisite for the common purposes of life. Living remote from towns and villages, in their little farms scattered amid the mountains,, and frequently at the dis­tance of many miles from their nearest neighbour, ne­cessity, the fruitful parent of invention, teaches them early the useful arts and trades, and thus renders them independent of that assistance, which it is not in their power to obtain. Hence you will find the same man his own tailor, shoemaker, carpenter, joiner, and often even his own clock and watch maker. Most are very

fir renders their talents in this way very ornamental to ؛ instant their cottages. ”٦' ٠٠ ______ ٠٦ladles, which they sometimes execute ii.__ ______ _

٠ style of carving, ٦vould serve as patterns even to our own artists and silversmiths. Without haviiig been

-brought up to any of the above trades, they are not ؛. withstanding proficient in them؛ They caff also exécute a variety of works in silver, brass, and other1 metals. In short, there are few things, for the purchase of which they are obliged to have recourse to the large town¿ ; so great is their natural ingenuity, thus brought into ex­ercise by their wants, by the ؟carcity of towns through•

1 out the country, and fostered besides by the instructions and example of their parents during their long winters,”

At Brieden, Captain B. says,،، My landlord, I soon found, was a man of wealth,

being possessed of several -villages, and of a considerable tract of mountain land. The latter kind of property, however, may be purchased in Norway on very reason­able terms! He had seventeen children, and nearly double that number of dependents, who lived with him, and by whom he was surrounded, like a patriarch of

• old. With this numerous family the dirt ١vas incon­ceivable ; and I anxiously looked forward to the next morning, when I should be released from it. My din­ner, which simply consisted of a large trout, was quickly prepared, and the fairest of his daughters selected to wait upon me. Fair as she was, with blue eyes kingly beaming, and hungry as I found myself, from having fasted so long, my appetite forsook me, when I saw the filthy dishabille, or rather state of nudity, of my com­plaisant attendant; and ٦vhen, on handing me my din­ner, I discerned on her hands the cruel ravages of a cer­tain disorder, extremely prevalent among the lower classes in Norway, I was obliged to entreat her to for­bear the unnecessary trouble of waiting upon me : ١vhich hint, from not suspecting the motives, she was very backward in taking.

،، With the exception of the rats, ١vhich promenaded in gay parties over me while in bed, nothing farther dis­turbed me ; and at an early hour of the morning I arose to proceed on my journey. The inmates ١vere yet fast writpt in the arms of sleep ; and not finding my Swede, I entered a large apartment, which the evening before I had seen used as the kitchen, and was now converted into a very capacious bed-chamber. On opening the door, a scene both curious and strange to my eyes pre­sented itself. In five or six large beds, or rather wooden cribs, near twenty persons of both sexes, perfectly na­ked, were lying together in heaps ; and the dark cop­per-coloured skins of some, contrasting with the white­ness of others, rendered the group still more extraordi­nary. To complete it, on the ground several large pigs were enjoying the sweets of rejmse, and responding with drowsy grunts to the snores of, I might almost say, their fellow swine. ؟The singular practice, common to both sexes, of sleeping devoid of any covering, is very gene­ral in Norway. The chief reason, I .apprehend,• will be found in the degree of heat in which their rooms are kept, during the night as well as day, by their stoves. This, at the same time that it renders any clothing, put­ting decency entirely out of the question, both unne­cessary and inconvenient, enables them to save their linen.

،، The extraordinary darkness of the colour of the skin of some of the Norwegians I can account for only by supposing it to be in consequence of the extreme se­verity of the weather, and their constant exposure to it at all times. It deserves, however, to be remarked, that, while the bodies of these people were literally, as I have said, of the colour of copper, then- faces were, as usual, fair.”------

،، At an early hour of the morning we reached Jer­kin. The place was crowded ١vith peasants ¿nd their

lasses, who had been dancing the whole of the night to ؛the merry sound of the fiddle, and though the sun was rising, they were still enjoying their favourite Polsk dance. This is the national dance of Norway, and is performed with a degree of spirit and enthusiasm I never before witnessed. The manner of dancing it is this. Each of the men, taking his partner b١7 the left-hand, runs round the room at a pretty sharp kind of trot, ra­ther than step. The lady, during this, occasionally whirls round by herself, with the same kind of move­ment as is practised by our own young ladies in the quadrille, and her partner does the same. The Polsk dance then begins, which consists in a very rapid whirl, something similar to the waltz, but the motion far more violent, and the time entirely different. It is excessive­ly difficult to perform, on account of the quickness of the whirl, and the necessity there is, nevertheless, of keeping the exact time. It is a highly amusing dance, and the eagerness with which the Norwegians hasten to join in it, when the Polsk is played, shows their extreme fondness for it.”

At length Capt. C. arrived at Overgaard, where it be­came necessary to abandon his previous method of jour­neying in a carriage, often found to be sufficiently dan­gerous, and adopt the mode of coasting along the shores and isles of these Northern parts in a boat impelled by six stout rowers. Thus new scenes and new enjoyment• were produced for his gratification, and he paints them with the warmth of a man who could taste all the de­lights which ،، Nature to her votary yields.”

٠، Nothing can be more surprising and beautiful than the singular clearness of the water of the northern seas. As we passed slowly over the surface, the bottom, which ، here was in general, a white sand, was clearly risible, with its minutest objects, where the depth was from twenty to twenty-five fathom. During the whole course of the tour I made, nothing appeared to me so extraor­dinary as the inmost recesses of the deep thus unvei led to the eye. The surface of the ocean was unruffled by the slightest breeze, and the gentle splashing of the oars scarcely disturbed it. Hanging over the gunwale, of the boat, with wonder and delight I gazed on the slow ly moving scene below. Where the bottom was sandy, the different kinds of asteriæ, echini, and even the smallest shells, appeared at that great depth conspicu­ous to the eye ; and the water seemed in some mea­sure to have the effect of a magnifier, by enlarging the objects like a telescope, and bringing them seemingly

.,nearer. Now creeping along we saw, far beneath; the rugged sides of a mountain rising towards our boat, the base of which, perhaps, was hidden some miles in the great deep below. Though moving on a level sur­face, it seemed almost as if we were ascending the height under us ; and when we passed over its summit, which rose in appearance to within a few feet of our boat, and came again to the descent, which on this side was suddenly perpendicular, and overlooking a watery gulf, as we pushed gently over the last point of it, it seemed almost as if we had thrown ourselves down this precipice ; the illusion, from the crystal clearness of the deep, actually producing a sudden start. Now we came again to a plain ; and passed slowly over the submarine forests and meadows, which appeared in the expanse below ; inhabited, doubtless, by thousands of animals, to which they afford both food and shelter, animals un­known to man : and I could sometimes observe large fishes of singular shape, gliding softly through the wa­tery thickets, unconscious of what was moving above them. As we proceeded, the bottom became no longer visible ; its fairy scenes gradually faded to the view, and were lost in the dark green depths of the ocean.”

( To be, concluded in our next.)
