Prof Bishop then delivered his inaugural address: aftrr which the Rev. lr. Blythe, in behalf of the Directors of the Seminary, gave a solemn charge, accompar.it d with the presentation of an elegant Bible, and closed with prayer. We regret that more of our friends from abroad could not "nave been here, to attend upon these interesting exercises. Among those who were present, we were gratified to notice the gentlemen Commissioners of l he great contemplated rail road from Charleston. S C to Cincinnati, Ohio: one of them, Mr. Douglass, is a director ol' the South Carolina and Georgia Theological Seminary. Of the exercises we will say but a word. Professor I iahop, lor the theme of his address, selected a well-timed and appropriate subject, the requisite qualifications ofa ministry adapted to the wants of the West; and what is unusual o.a such occasions, his discourse was not tediously protracted. As it will be given in some form to the public, we wilt anticipate its publication, by recommending it to the carefui perusal or every young candidate for the gospel ministry in the West. Prof. P.. very cleaily shewed the incorrectness of the supposition that a ministry with ordinary or inferior natural ami acquired qualifications, is adapted to the wants of this section of our country. No doubt, that this supposition was founded upon a mistaken

opinion of the true state of society in this quarter; and we are sure that the ministerial aid, that has been afforded, has been directed by the high dictates of Christian benevolence. We laud the moMvejnor would -we attach hlame to any; slill we cannot but regret thai men have been sent to the West, with so few of those qualifications, which rentier a man 'thoroughly furnished unto every good word and work:' and it is also to be depreca

ted, that some of our young men, seem so anxious to assume the respoiisibiliiies of the sacred office, having taken but a partial course ofthat preparation which the accumulated wisdom of centuries has pronounced necessary. We regard, therefore, Prof. B's address, as particularly 'in season.' And it is particularly gratifying to the enlightened christian, more so to those who have toilet! in selfdenial to rear it, to see an institution like this rising up in the midst of our forests, determined to give the sanction of its approbation to

none, save those who pursue a thorough course of

Theological study. May it iong be cherished by the

smiles of Providence, ami the munificence of a christian public. The hitter we should regard as a sure token of the former.

TIIE CHINESE MISSION. We a e permitted to insert the following extract, of a letter from the Rev. Mr. Tracy, missionary of the American B ;ud at Singapore, to the Bev. Win. S. Pium-r, of this city. The facts stated in it, are delightful pitiofs that missionary efforts among (he
