given an impulse, which will not cease to be felt, till all the heathen nations are brought under the sceptre of Jesus. Nay, He to whom there is "no restraint to save by many or by few," can, and we have the consoling confidence to believe that he will, overrule this event to the promotion of his glory among men. He can and will make it a means of exciting a more lively, humble, sympathetic, operative interest, in || that cause, which engrossed the affections, and gave scope to the wisdom and energy, and all the excellent qualities, of our lamented patron, and benefactor. He will, dear Sir, I am persuaded, for the comfort of yourself and your bereaved associates, for the joy of Zion and of the heathen, make his righteousness and judgment shine, with awful majesty, through the clouds and darkness which envelope his throne. He again calls on us, "cease ye from men." Let us then, with adoring reverence, be still and know that he is God. Let us bow to his sovereign pleasure, "always good-infinitely good." In grateful remembrance of our departed friend, and in honor of that divine love which takes our Elijahs to the bosom of his mercy, I intend to preach a funeral sermon at this station, from the words, "Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints." We pray that the falling mantle may rest on some chosen Elisha, and that many may imbibe and breathe forth the spirit of that departed man, whose loss we lament. To you and your associates, to his people and his family, to us, and other missionaries under the patronage of the Board, he was the best of earthly friends. Dear manWe loved you-Farewell. Mrs. B. joins me in cordial salutations.With many thanks for all your kind attentions to us, I am, aries. We are happy to acknowledge him as our friend, and one who deserves our unfeigned thanks for the many favors he has shewn us.-Capt. P. is.expecting to return here soon, and kindly offers to bring us letters, and such things as the Board may consider needful for our comfort and usefulness. Another ship will sail in about three weeks, when we shall send you a joint letter. We are still prospered, contented, and happy. The late news from America, has much refreshed us, though we are distressed for the loss of our beloved, and revered Dr. Worcester. Believing that the Lord will take care of us, and of the cause in which we are engaged, we remain, as ever, Your obedient servants, SAMUEL WHITNEY, SAMUEL RUGGLES. JOURNAL KEPT AT WOAHOO. Br a late arrival, we are happily enabled to furnish our readers with a continuation of this journal, commencing our extracts at the date where they ended in our last number. Nov. 16. Last evening at the publie lecture, while the preacher was insisting on the excellency of the Christian's hope; and showing that hope without faith, is as an anchor, cast into the ocean without a cable, -a sea-faring man cried out;-"May the honest sailor meet in heaven, the man of good intent; I believe your intentions are good; I say that publicly." After lecture, Capts. Gardner, Arthur and Bunker, and Mr. H. made a pleasant call upon the family. We opened a register for successive masters of vessels to insert their names, and other particulars, principally for their own mutual satisfaction and information. This was recommended by gentlemen in the whale-fishery; and as the number in that employment, who are expected to call, may be considerable, this register may be come somewhat interesting. Application to ladies of Nantucket: This morning, brothers B. and T. breakfasted with Capt. Arthur, on board ship Russel, which shortly after, weighed anchor and sailed, soon to proceed, if successful, on her way to Nantucket. The former suggestion of Capt. Allen, being seconded by Capt. Arthur, and approved by others, the sisters were encouraged to send a letter, and a small list of articles needed, addressed to Mrs. Arthur, and other ladies of Nantucket, to afford them the opportunity of contributing with satisfaction, for the 41 comfort of the family and the aid of the school at this place. We regard this as the commencement of an interesting correspondence with the inhabitants of Nantucket, and feel ourselves almost in their immediate neighborhood, and happy to receive calls from our valued friends, as they pass to and fro, by our doors. Acceptable present. Received while preparing the letter to the ladies of Nantucket, a very acceptable present, valued at $25 accompanied with the following note: "Hannah Holmes's respectful compliments to the ladies of the mission family, asks their acceptance of one piece of seersucker, and requests her kind and affectionate instructor, Mrs. Bingham, to accept one small chest of pearl, gun-powder tea. She would also add, she can never forget the kind exertions that have been made by you all, for her improvement." The sentiments of this note, we regard, rather as a pleasant index to the feelings, than as a fair specimen of the attainments of one of our pupils.* Visit of Tamoree and wife. 17. Brother and sister B. called on H. H. who rejoiced to meet them after four months absence. They visited also Kaahoomanoo, and Tamoree, who appeared as usual, friendly. Invited them to call on us. This afternoon they very civilly returned the visit, as they were passing towards Witeetee, in their covered waggon, drawn by native servants. Happy to receive so friendly a call, we endeavored to interest their feelings by laboring to direct their attention to the advances we are making in writing their language. Visit of Tapoole and others. 22. Tapoole, the ex-queen of Atooi, with her paramour Kaere-ohoo-nooe, and Telalah, another rejected wife of Tamoree, with a few attendants, visited the family. They have ever manifested a disposition favorable to the mission, and it seems not to be altered by any late events. Kaere-ohoo-nooe was attracted by the terrestrial globe, and examined it with attention. As brother B. was attempting to explain the figure and motion of the earth, one of the attendants, a native called Winship, said; "If the earth rolled round we should all be dizzy-headed." A dwarf. Another well formed man in the train, apparently about thirty-five years of age, The note was probably dictated, if not written by some American. Editor. brother B. had the curiosity to measure. His height is four feet three inches, a fine contrast to the corpulency of the people of the first rank in the nation, of whom, not a few will measure more than six feet, and weigh perhaps from 250 to 300 lbs. 24. Furnished to day, by Capt. D., with a loin of fresh beef, as we had also been by Capts. G. and F. It was a part of a grassfed bullock, lately killed from the herd that grazes on this plain, and of which the quarters weighed 1000 lbs. 25. Mr. B. preached from Lam. i, 12. "Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?" It deserves our grateful acknowledgments, that we find the droppings of the sanctuary, pleasant and refreshing. Departure of the Globe. 26. Closed a large packet of communications to America, containing a copy of our journal, from May 4, to Nov. 15, and the separate journal of Mr. B.'s second tour ponding Secretary, with many letters to to Atooi, and a joint letter to the Corresprivate friends. These we send by the ship Globe, Capt. Gardner, of Nantucket. The polite and generous attention of this gentlemen, like that of Capts. Starbuck, and Carey, and others, has been highly gratifying to us, and deserves our very cordial thanks. Letters from Atooi. Dec. 3. The Superb, a schooner lately built at Atooi, arrived with letters from the brethren there. Mr. Whitney writes to Mr. Thurston as follows: "Since brother Bingham left us, there has been no material change in our affairs. We can still speak of nothing but mercies. We are treated with much respect and kindness by governor Cox. Scarcely a day passes but he sends us some token of his friendship. He has not the influence, however, over the natives which Tamoree had, but is gaining popularity. Tamoree is much wanted." Evils of Intemperance. "A few days since, Tupea, one of the principal chiefs, murdered his wife. He was intoxicated at the time. This dreadful evil of intemperance, is quite fashionable here. We fear the consequences. Still, this place is probably a kind of paradise, compared with Hanaroorah." Want of a minister. "As it regards the prosperity of this station, one thing, a sine qua non, is wanting; viz. a minister of the Gospel. Our eyes are all fixed upon you, and we should hail your arrival with the most heart-felt gratitude. || Should it not meet your views however, and the approbation of the brethren, we must submit to your better judgment." We intend to afford such help to the important station at Atooi, as can consistently be spared, either by occasional visits or a more permanent residence there of some of our number, till additional laborers may arrive, or till brother W. shall receive license to preach. 4. With gratitude to our ever present Helper, we record his special mercies to day, as we truly rejoice with sister Loomis, who is made the happy mother of a fine daughter. Return of a Russian ship of discovery. 6. Favored with a polite call of Capt. Seischmareff and three of his officers, who arrived in port yesterday, from the north, in one of the Russian ships of discovery They have all been favored with health and prosperity, and still exhibit a very pleasing and cheerful aspect. 8. Sent by the Superb, letters and supplies to the station at Atooi. 9. Sabbath. Brother Bingham preached from the inspiriting address of the pious son of Saul, to his armor-bearer, as he proposed by the help of his single arm, and the aid of Israel's God, to assail the strong garrison of the uncircumcised Philistines: "There is no restraint to the Lord, to save by many or by few." His agency in the deliverance of his people, is not to be fimited by their numbers. In glorifying himself, he will stain the pride of human glory. In the accomplishment of his grand designs, he will select means, which unsanctified reason would not dictate. Thus he gave abundant encouragement to prompt, vigorous, persevering individual exertion, in the cause of human salvation. pliments of commodore Vassicleff, who has also arrived from the north, and offered medical assistance if needed. This was truly kind and acceptable. A letter brought by the commodore, from the governor of Kamtschatka, assures us of his continued kind regards. Commodore Vassicleff, with Lieutenant Boyle, favored us with his company, appeared very pleasantly interested in the welfare of the family, and the progress of the mission; a little surprised to find our new house, which was not raised when he left us before, now advanced to such a state of forwardness, without the aid of carpenters; gratified also with the improvement of our pupils, and pleased with the new church. He gave the family a very polite invitation to dine with him to morrow. Interesting arrival. 12. The brig Owhyhee, Capt. Henry, from Boston, arrived with letters, newspapers, and pamphlets for us, announcing the arrival and gladsome reception, at Boston, of our communications by the Levant, the Clarion, the Ann, and the Volunteer, refreshing us with intelligence of the signal mercies bestowed on the churches of our land, on the several missions under the direction of the Board, and the various other laudable enterprises in the promotion of human happiness; warming our hearts by kind expressions of the liveliest interest, joy, and hope, with respect to the arrival, establishment, and prospects of this mission. We would unite with our friends, in devout thansgiving to the great Head of the church, and unceasingly ascribe to him all the glory. Let us be humble, and watch unto prayer, remembering the days of adversity; they too may be many. Even now, the Board, and its missionaries, and its friends, in the midst of their rejoic At the close of the service, brother Bing-ing, are called to mourn the loss of one of ham administered the ordinance of baptism, and the infant daughter of brother and sister Thurston, named Persis Goodell, was solemnly dedicated to Christ. It is a precious comfort in this land of pollution and danger; in the midst of prowling wolves, while multitudes around, are led by vile seducers in the way to hell, it is a precious comfort to our parental hearts, to have the dear little defenceless lambs of this fold, included in the gracious bonds of God's everlasting covenant, and to hope that he who from the infant, exposed in the flags of the Nile, raised up a prophet, and deliverer for Israel, will deign to bless our infant offspring, and train them up, for extensive usefulness to the rising and the unborn. generations. 10. Doctor Kavaleff, and lieutenant Boyle, called on the family, with the com their dearest supporters and counsellors. A letter from the Treasurer, announces the afflictive death of our beloved and revered Dr. WORCESTER. How unsearchable are the counsels of Divine wisdom. Trying as this providence is, "we bow to his sovereign pleasure-always good-infinitely good." 13. Spent the day principally in feasting on the intelligence received. Lecture this evening. The Treasurer's letter was read, and some other interesting passages from our communications. Some remarks were made on the death of Dr. Worcester, particularly as it was a striking comment on one part of the last Sabbath's discourse. School examination. 14. Second quarterly examination for the second year. Present-Lieutenant. Boyle, two physicians and a midshipman || papers henceforth, till all nations should J of the Russian ships of discovery, Messrs. Davis, Hunnewell, Conant, Dana, and Harwood. Several of these gentlemen, expressed their satisfaction in seeing the specimens of improvement exhibited in spelling, reading the scriptures, writing, &c. Isaac, a native of the N. W. coast, of a tribe not far from Nootka Sound, exhibited a drawing of our little establishment, and several flowers prettily painted, bearing marks of original genius. Samoa, a native of Otaheite, who is attached to the family by the express direction of governor Cox and Kaahoomanoo, beside spelling a lesson in English, read with facility a page or two from an Otaheitan Catechism. William Beals, was examined in spelling and reading, in the vernacular tongue; Nathaniel Chambertain, in Geography and penmanship; James Kahoohoo, the king's young friend, read, with tolerable facility, a paragraph of scripture, and exhibited a copy book which does credit to his genius and industry. The pupils answered a number of questions in scripture history, and in Watts's Catechism.-At the close of the pleasant interview, the school, and its patrons, and the nation, were commended to God in prayer. In the morning, two of the brethren called on Krimakoo, Kaahoomanoo, and Tamoree, and invited them to attend the examination, but they had previous engagements on board one of the ships in port. William Tennooe. While the brethren were present, a youth sat down in the door completely in the native habit, but seemed to take no notice of them, and it was with difficulty that they, at last, were able to recognize him to be William Tennooe, the subject of so many prayers, favors, instructions, and distinguished privileges. He has, for a considerable time, lived at Wiani. He shuns our society, and we are pained to say, gives no evidence of a disposition to return to give glory to God, and to pay to the Lord his vows. -Several letters from American friends to William, have been carried him, by Hopoo and Honooree, who seem deeply to lament his fall. As the brethren met with Commodore Vassicleff this morning, he remarked, with reference to the late numbers of the Missionary Herald, and Boston Recorder, which he had received from them, that he found little but accounts of Missionary and Bible Societies-nothing of wars and battles in Europe. Happy indeed, if this might be the grand characteristic of news rejoice together in the permanent and universal peace of Christ's kingdom. 15 Last evening, Capt. C. and Hopoo called on Krimakoo, and proposed to buy a horse and two cows, with which we have not yet been furnished; and also to erect, for the benefit of the nation, a trip hammer, and a blacksmith's shop. To the latter, he replied, "Go and look out the place where you wish to build, and come tomorrow and tell me. "" Search for mill seats. To day brothers Bingham, Thurston, and Chamberlain, accompanied by Mr. Harwood, an ingenious, inventive, and experienced artisan now in our employ, examined several places in the vicinity of Hanaroorah, where water works might be erected and applied to various kinds of machinery and manufactures. Though the quantity of water allowed to run in the natural currents, is generally small, as it is used, to so great an extent, in watering the various plantations in the valley, yet there are several places, within three miles of the village, where a trip hammer, a turning lathe, a grist mill, or a cotton factory, might be tolerably well furnished with water.
