dom of Imerina. Persons are daily coming forward to be instructed in the Christian faitha marked and gratifying improvement has shown itself among the native youths who have been instructed under the wing of the mission, some of whom address their fellow-countrymen on religious topics “ with fluency, copiousness, and earnestness,”—the places of worship are filled with apparently sincere, attentive, and devout worshippers of the true God-a powerful impression appears to be made on them by the preaching of the gospel, the interesting topics of which give rise, from time to time, to improving conversations among the people-while a goodly number exhibit such evidence of intelligent and decided piety as affords, in the opinion of the brethren, scriptural reasud to believe that the grace of God has been shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost. Thus, in the midst of a population said to comprise not less than FOUR MILLIONS of souls, has the gospel of Christ been planted, and the preaching thereof attended with power. Large congregations of hearers assemble statedly to hear it-Christian churches have been formed, and a considerable number of the natives are seen walking in the fear of God, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ-the government of the country, meanwhile, permitting the missionaries to pursue their various important labours without interruption, and countenancing and even aiding them therein--the blessing of God evidently resting on their work, and they themselves greatly animated and encouraged by the circumstances of the happy change which has taken place, and the cheering prospect that is spread out before them. Let all the members of the Society, then, devoutly and thankfully acknowledge these manifestations of divine goodness let them pray-let all who are looking for the coming of the spiritual kingdom of Jesus Christ pray—that a prospect so bright may not be ob cured—that a light so cheering, amid darkness so profound, may not be extinguished; but spread from village to village, and from province to province, till every mountain and vale throughout this large and interesting island shall resound with the songs of Zion, and the name and praise of the Redeemer be wasted, with every breeze, along all its coasts. Amen. Austin Friars, 17th April, 1832. MR. G. BENNET'S VISIT TO SUFFOLK. During the past month George Bennet, not Esq., has attended the several missionary anniversary meetings held successively at Beccles, Bungay, Ipswich, Woodbridge, and Stowmarket, on the 6th, 8th, 9th, 10ih, and 11th of the same; and, in a letter to the Home-Secretary, expresses the great satisfaction he had enjoyed on those several occasions. Mr. Bennet states that, with only one exception, the meetings were numer. ously attended, while, in all of them, was observed a spirit of serious attention, and of Christian zeal and affection, equally gratify: ing and encouraging. Mr. Bennet adds, that beside the public meetings already mentioned, several oppor. tunities were afforded him, at the private dwelling-houses of Christian friends, of addressing numerous parties of young persons, among whom were many who act as treasurers, secretaries, collectors, &c., to different missionary associations, or who, otherwise, are engaged in labours of Christian benevolence. Mr. Bennet expresses his deep sense of the kind personal attentions he every where received, both from ministers and other friends of Christian missions, belonging to various denominations; and notices his own increased gratification derived from the consci.
