apply myself more directly to missionary objects. "I have been for some time engaged in revising two or three Hindoostance tracts, and correcting the proofs. I find this very useful. I have also been preparing a tract on the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. It is a kind of harmony of what is said by the four Envangelists on these im. portant subjects. I hope the tract will prove useful to many. I before informed you of operations likely to be commenced in villages eastward of Calcutta; they are now begun, a school is just opened.

NOVA SCOTIA BAPTIST ASSOCIA- By the Minutes of the Nova Scotia Baptist Association, which held its session on the 22nd and 23d of June last, we learn that this body of Christians consists of about 40 churches, and upwards of two thousand members. Several instances of a revival have been experienced among them, particularly at Nictaur, Chesterhove, Cornwallis, and Halifax. They have recently formed an Education Society, for diffusing the principles of a correct and scriptural education among the youth of that increasing population; and to which will be attached a department especially adapted to those devoted to ministerial engagements. They have already purchased about sixty acres of land at Horton, with some buildings upon it, for this purpose-have procured the Rev. Asahel Chapin, from Amherst College in Massachusetts, to conduct the Seminary; and about fifty young persons, of various ages, have already entered. REVIVAL-LETTER TO THE ED ITORS.

YOUNG MEN'S EDUCATION SOCIETY. This interesting Society held its tenth annual meeting in Boston, on Monday evening, Nov. 9, last. Rev. Mr Leverett, of Roxbury, made the Introductory prayer. The Secretary's Report was then read and accepted. In moving its acceptance, Rev. Mr Leverett made some striking remarks on the important objects of the Society. Rev. Mr Malcom seconded the motion, and made some judicious observations on the salutary influence of education. The Treasurer's report was then read. Mr Grosvenor's motion for its acceptance was seconded by Dr Sharp. The remarks of each of these gentlemen were calculated to inspirit the members of the Society to prosecute with vigor the important objects before them. It will be recollected that some time ago, a generous friend subscribed $100 towards raising $1000, to found a scholarship in the Newton Institution, on condition the remaining 900 should be subscribed by others, before the first of January next. This generous offer has produced the desired effect. By the Treasurer's Report we learn that 512 dollars were raised last year; and such was the benevolent impulse of the Society at this meeting that 340 dollars were promptly subscribed: Thus rendering it sufficiently certain that the scholarship will be founded. This fact will encourage the young men of our denomination to institute similar Societies in this and the adjoining States. A vote of thanks to the Rev.
