And I may add fit: ther, that, in traveling through the entire "length of this Presidency, I have necessarily, and in most instances with gratified feelings on my part, made the acquittance of a geod many English gentlemen among the civil, military, and clerical orders; and it gives me pleasure to say, that I have seldom. i'i ever, witnessed any unkind feelim? either against Americans, or American missionaries. A mo the latter, it is true that there are those who look upon all missionaries as emp!oe,l in a visionary enterprise. On the other hand, if I may judge from What I have seen and heard. I should ihink that a generous and liberal disposition generally exists ,,' regard to our undertaking missionary service in this country; and at any rate that our being Americans is no longer anv obstacle. " Ititita'iuH of. Mr. L. to the Court ef Lahore. . I)ec- To-day, I received an invitation through Captain . the Political Agnt, to pay a visit to Ranjit Singh, the Ruler of the Panjat. The invitation comes from the II aba himself." thro-mh his Vakil, or Envoy, at this place. Of course it is fully before me; though I do not understand tha' he would expect me to go as an etfich! person, or in a way requiring stateor ceremony. He wis'h. to have some of the sons of his sirdars, or Chiefs', to learn the English language, and he savs, lie would like to know more himself about the attiibutes 0f God, cVc. I cannot but regard this circumstance as one of considerable interest, and as one which may lead to results important to the cause of Chi iV If I find the path plain, I think it wili be verv expedient to embrace his invitation; no: to undertake any school now; but to collect information, to prepare the way fit missionary efforts, and to do all the good I can. He is now the absolute Ruler of all me Pan:at. Kashmer, and Affghanitin His power and influence are both verv trreat, thou-h obtained by mean? which Christians deem very unjustifiable, lie is a man of strong, though uncultivated m.nd; of enlarged views, and of great energy oi character. . hy might not even P-ndt Singh, the powerful despot of the Sikhs fL,'w.e the religion of the meek and lowly Jeu -' an I wield all his ndgtpy influence in promoting ' UU cause? lee tuMtuy faith is weak-too worldly.

thai important held, me mission there may vet prove a blessing to thousand's who have novel heard the joyful tidings of sal-ation by 'Christ the Lord.' Our Mission to Nortrern India is becoming more interesting by the increase of its nu mencal force and the opening prospects of its extensive usefulness to tin? diversified inhabitants of that populous country. Our readers have been informed of the safe arrival our First Reinforcement at the capital of Pengal. And now w e have the pleasure of announcing, that the Executive Committee are making arrangements to send to India, towrrds the close ofthe present month or the beginning of the next, a Stcoiid Reinforcement, consisting probably of 12 or 13 persons; including 2 or 3 ordained minis"u rs and their wives, anil two voting men who have been favored with a Coilegiate education, and contempt ;te entering the sacred ministry. If it please Divine? Providence to preserve the lives and health of our missionaries who are already in India, and of those who expect soon to embark for the same destination, it is believed that, the whole wid be sul'icient to occupy more than one station. If so, the principal station "may be in a centra! position, and others in different directions j'rom that point, but not so remote as to cut od' frequent opportunities of correspondence, consultation, and assistance in times of necessity. The place where the efforts of the mission are concentrated, it is reasonably supposed, ought to be the site of a well n-gulated High School, a Printing establishment, a Depository of Hooks, Tracts, lVc. It appears from the letters and journals of Mr. Lowrie, ,iKH there arc many important missionary fields i.i India. Resides Calcutta, he mentions several plae s which he passed in his vova -o ascending the (b.nges, where it would see'm.'statioiis might lie formed in .hope of beneficial results. He also lakes parliculir notice ofthe town of Put - ehpoie, an English Civil Station, about half wav between Allahabad and Cawneore Mr. H. .Iml -e of that district, a iem:trkab!yjudicions and piotis man, wrote to ;ir. Lowrie in reference to this place; in rub-nance as follows.- '-It is my opinion ib.H Ftttlehpore presents a good field for ihe labor ot a missionary. Many native boys show a stromdisposition 10 learn. English, are willing m read the Scriptures, ami evince something more than a mere want of zeal for their own customs and rrhgion. Were a missionary established here, he wonf. probably find his time and intention amp'v occupied. Fut should lie have leisure, the two m i-hhoiing stations of Panda and llumeernore each -10 miles distant, might profit Ity his labors. l" see no dilficuhy in his way. A disposition for instruction is evinced by the natives. A very larpe and commodious bungalow in the town, could be rented for a moderate sum. Futtohpore is a healthy place. There are large towns imar. am! pielas within a reasonable distance. The roads :i-p rood, and the facilities for travelling great. Wc

Price of Poard, from one dollar to one dollar and fifty cents per week, Tuition $10 per session. Room rent, $2 per session, for each occupant: this is the only item of expense which differs from the former rates. The continual repairs, whicli it is necessary to have made on the rooms, compelled the Poard, reluctantly, to make the change. This ogether with the tuition fee is invariabircjuired in advance. The Winter session will commence on the 1st Monday in November; ami it is very important that all Students who expect to enter, should be present on the first day, that they may be properly classed.
