in piling up tfceir wood, Warwick wantonly
and cruelly threw a faggot at the Doctor,
winch struck him on the head, and tike wise l
cut his face, so that the blood ran co
piously down; an act of savage ferocity
which merely drew from their victim this
mild reproach, “ Oh, friend, I have harm
enough, what need of that.” Nor were
these diabolical insults confined to those,
among them of the lowest rank ; for when
this blessed martyr was saying the psalm
Miserere in English, Sir John Shelton, who
was standing by, struck him on the Kps, ex
claiming at the 9ame time, “Ye knave,speak
Latin, or I will make thee.”
They at length set fire to the fagg *>**>
when Dr. Tayfor,holding up both his hands,
called upon his God, and said, “ Merciful
Father of Heaven, for Jesus Christ my Sa
viour’s sake, receive my soul into thy
hands.” In this attitude he continued,
without either crying or moving,until Soyce
striking him on the head with his halbert,
his brains fell out, and the corse dropped
down into the fire.
Thus perished midway in the race of
piety and utility, all that was mortal of one
of the best and most strenuous defenders of
the Protestant Church of England; a man
who, in all the vicissitudes of the most tur
bulent periods, in the hour of adversity as
in that of prosperity, practised what he
preached.

[Continued from p. 6.]
Letter from George Prince Tamoree to the
Rev. Dr. Worcester.
Atooi, July 27, 1820.
Dear Friend—l have now an opportunity
to write, which I shall improve, as they do
not very often occur. 1 have not any thing
very particular to write, only to express
the gratitude I feel toward you and the be
nevolent Society which was of so much bene
fit to me. My regard for your kindness
can only be expressed by protecting these
servants of yours now in our kingdom.
Such care shall be taken of these friends,
as I trust will be approved of by you. Tru
ly it is a blessing to this benighted land;
and unto the Board our grateful hearts we
pour.
1 feel very happy myself to have their
society. I feel almost in America, and
could I render any assistance, it would be
with the greatest pleasure.
My father is much pleased with their
here. He is willing to do all he can
for them ; to give them as much land as
they wish to have, and furnish them with
such articles of provision as they may stand
in need of. He says, that all he wants is,
to have them teach his people, and not be
have like bad white men.
I am requested by my father to send to
you for a minister and several mechanicks;
house and ship carpenters, cabinet-makers,
and with the rest a farmer, and a good saw
mill. These my father i9 very anxious to
hare. The mill we shall expect to pay
for when received. And a good physician;
one that i9 capable of doing his duty. The
expenses I expect to pay myself, and sup
port those you send.
I hope yeu will permit me to choose
some particular friends. For the minister
1 choose Mr. Stone.*
As I have many letters to write, I must
have them short. I can’t close this how
ever, without expressing my greatest grat
itude to you, and my American friends.
Could 1 visit your shore again it would be
with the greatest pleasure. But as it is
uncertain, 1 again bid you farewell.
G. P. Tamoree.
Rev. Sami. Worcester.
P. S. I am in need of a number of
books. If you would be so kind as to send
some out by the first opportunity, I would
satisfy you for'them, lettiDg me know the
expenses. You may get such as you think
will be useful to me; and as many as vou
please. Yours, G. P. T.
AtoOi, August 3, 1820.
Dear Friend—After 1 had closed my let
ter to you, my father sent word to me, to
request you to send him a man that could
make powder. If you will be so kind as
to take notice of it, he will he much obliged
to you. AH that you send be wifi expect
to support, in every article whatever.
Your obedient serv’t, G. P. Tamoree.

ENGLISH BAPTIST MISSION.
SERAMPORE. • I
Extract of a letter from Dr. Darty to Dr.
Ryland , dated
Calcutta, April 25, 1820.
I think the cause of oar Redeemer is, evi
dently on the iicro#of we are seldom a
month in Calcutta without additions, and
the next month I expect to baptize three
persons, one of whom was a devotee at Ka
lee-ghaut, where he actually kept a vow of
silence for four years. A pamphlet, I think
sent out by Mr. Townley, affected his heart
and opened his mouth. When he first
came to me be made the most singular ap
pearance imaginable, being covered with
charms and amulets ; he wore a necklace
made of snakes’ bones; and so far were the
Hindoos of Calcutta from thinking of his
conversion, that when be first walked along
the street with John Peter, several of the
chief natives came out of their houses and
prostrated themselves at his feet. one of
the others is a Telinga Brahman, and the
other a Dane, the first of that nation we
have yet baptised. In a week or ten day 9
more I expect to baptize three soldiers in
the Fort. At Beerbhoom a good number
ha 9 been baptized the last year; at Moor
shedabad, or its neighbourhood, brother
Sutton has baptized several, and has much
encouragement. A greater number has
been baptized at Dinagepore and its vicin
ity than in any other place. Brother
Smith has baptized several at Benares;
and a letter from him received today in
forms me that three others are soon to be
added to the church there. At Dacca there
have been additions; and at Chittagong the
MiTg Christians have now kept together,
have maintained the worship of God, and
edified one another for three with
out a pastor to reside among them. Broth
er Peacock lately went to them, and his
account of them is highly encouraging ; so
much was he encouraged that he seems
now determined to visit them frequently,
and do his utmost 1o help forward their
spiritual concerns. Brother Chamberlain
has been very ill, but is considerably bet
ter. The printing of his translation, which
has been with several others, delayed thro’
want of paper, is now going forward. Our
steam engine is now in operation, and fully
answers its purpose, so that we have plenty
of paper. In short, accounts from every
part of India are encouraging. The print
ing of the Mahratta Bible is almost finished;
the last proof-sheet I read finished Micah
within a verse or two, and all is printed
except the remainder of the minor proph
ets. The historical books in Punjabee are
almost finished; the last proof-sheet reach
ed to the seventh chapter of Nehemiah.
In Telinga, Pushtoo, end Kunkuna, we are
nearly through Leviticus. The New
Testament will, within a few months, be
finished at press in Goojurrattee, Bikaneer,
Kashmeer, and Kurnata; and several oth
ers are advanced as far as Luke or John.
Through mercy I enjoy tolerably good
health; which is the case with us all ex
cept my wife whose weakness is great.
Brother Robinson has baptized a Chinese,
I received a letter from Brother Bruckner
a few days ago; he feels discouraged at
want of success. Brother Chater labours
much. A son of Christian who is
now with me, says, that brother Chater
preaches often in Cingalese, and is well
attended; and brother Siers the same in
Portuguese. L enclose a letter from my
son Jabez, which I received today. He is
far from any one to help him, but the Lord
has kept him. Accept my thanks for Hur
rion’s sermons ; and pray give mv best
thanks to dear Mr. Scott, for his translation
of the History, &c. of the Synod ofDort.
1 would write to him if I could command
time; if there be any thing of the work of
God in my soot, I owe much of it to his
preaching, when I first set out in the ways
of the Lord.
Extract of a letter from Dr- Marshman to
Dr. Ayland , dated
Seramfore, June 2, 1820.
On the 19tb, brother Carey baptized
three soldiers in Calcutta, and last Lord’s
day I baptized three persons there, two of
them brahmins. One of them received his
first impressions from reading in Calcutta
brother Carey’s translation of the New
Testament in the Telinga language; the
other was an ascetick, who lived years in
the Sunderbunds, among the wild beasts,
wearing a mala (a necklace) made of the
vertebra of serpents. We have four per
sons before the church at Serampore
three of them to be baptized on Lord’s-day.
Blessed be God, all the churches around
seem to be flourishing.
‘Extract of a letter from Dr. Carey to Mr.
Burls , dated
Serampore, July 7, 1820.
Last Tuesday evening, an Auxiliary Mis
sionary Society was formed in the Church
meeting at the Lai Bazar Chspel. Five
young men offered themselves as Missiona
ries te the population around their dwel
j lings. These act gratuitously. Ido hope
| the funds will enable us to do more at a
( distance from Calcutta.
The numbers baptized last year in all
the churches in India is highly encourag
. ing; and a goodly number are now inquir
ing the way to Zion, with their faces fhith
erward.
Henry martyn’s labours.
Captain Gordon, an Englishman, in his
Ijourney from Ochotsk through .Siberia to
10
Astrachao, and thence throqgb Per9i;v.to
India, has made the most investiga
tion in his power into the state of the peo
ple, and has communicated the most encour
aging prospects of disseminating Divine
Truth in the Persian empire. He writes
from Tabriz, May 13, 1820, to the Scotts
Missionaries at Astrachan, urging them to
“ come up and possess the land.” It is, says
he, “ all before you.” - Mr. Martyn’s labours
were not in vain. He is spoken of with
much respect. Some of the people at Shi
raz say, that had he continued there much
longer, Wtfould have converted half the
town. The Moilah, who used to dispute
constantly:with him, now says, “He ought
not to be spoken of among mortals.”
Professor Lee is preparing, in Persian
and English,, ! the whole controversy ot Mr.
Martyn with the Learned of Persia, with
considerable additions of his own, to estab
lish the truth of the Scriptures against the
sophisms of the Mahometans.
Revival of Religion.
The following summary account (among others)
of a revival was read at the last United Gene
ral Prayer Meeting held in the Mariners’
Church, New York.
In Jones county, Georgia, the work of
the Lord, that commenced in the Baptist
Churches in 1819, continues to prosper.
A letter from that quarter says, “ Many
were cut to the heart, and were groaning
under the weight of sin, and crying in the
extreme anguish of soul, 4 wbat shall we do
to be saved V whilst others were singing
hozannas to the son of David.” 102 had
been baptized. Os the persons received
into the church, one, a black man , gave the
following relation:—“ One day hearing my
young master talking about Noah’s Hood,
an<! after molringr several remarks mith ro
spect lu it, he observed that the world
would be destroyed next time by fire
This was the first time that 1 had ever
thought od my latter end, which brought
me into such distress as I had never before
experienced, and from which I could get
no respite. 1 thought if I could read the
Scriptures, that would relieve me. I then
proceeded to try, and succeeded in learning
to read a little; but that made me no bet
ter. 1 often tried to pray, but seemed to
grow worse. 1 thought if I had a fellow
Christian to pray for me, that would re
lieve me ; but I had none to apply to. At
length, in the most extreme distress, the
words of the Lord Jesus, ‘Believe in me
and you shall be stvved,’ relieved me.”
ANECDOTE.
[Translated from the German ]
An English soldier being mortally wound
ed in the Battle of Waterloo, was carried
by one of his companions some distance
from the ranks, and placed under a tree, to
die there quietly. When he perceived
that the man who had placed him there
was about to return into the battle, he beg
ged him most earnestly not to leave him,
before he had read something from his
precious divine Bible, as he expressed it,
which he might find in his knapsack. His
companion fetched the Bible, and asked
him what passage he wished to hear.
“ Read me,” replied he, “ the conclusion
of the 14th chapter of John : I must hear
once more from the lips of my Divine Re
deemer, what he says there.” The other i
real!, “Peace 1 leave with you ; my peace i
I give unto you,”—when the dyiug soldier
exclaimed* “ Yes, that i9 what 1 mean ; I
wished to hear these words once more. I
Now I die in peace—in peace that.passetb
all understanding.” At this moment an of
ficer came, and asked the cause of his lying
there. “I am dying,” said he, “ but I die j
in peace with God, through faith in the |
gospel of his Son Jesus Christ.” The of-!
ficer hurried into the battle, and before it ]
was ended was mortally wounded. Ex- ■
peeling every moment to be his last, he j
told those who surrounded him that he was |
oppressed with the greatest anguish. “ I
die,” said he, “ but in what a different man
ner from one of my men, whom I saw ex
pire under a tree. He died in peace, be
cause he enjoyed, as he said, the peace of
God; apd this peace he bad acquired by
reading bis Bible. Aina ! I have had the
Bible likewise, hilt I did not regard it. I
neglected it, and now I am deprived of that
peace which it breathes into the soul, and
must die—a prey to despair!”
[JY. Y. Chr. Herald.
From the Baltimore Morning Chronicle.
Those who disbelieve that mankind are
in a fallen state, we would recommend to
pay some attention to the inquiries every
day made, have the allies as yet drawn
blood? We shew a eagerness on this sub
ject, as if human carnage were a desirable
thing. Let us look at this question in anoth
er point of view—suppose that some medi
cinal herb were discovered, that would pro
long by timely application, the lives of as
many meti as are usually sacrificed to the
demon of ambition, on the field of battle
that day after day, month after month, year
after year, official lists should be presented
to the world, of the number of those who
had been snatched from the grave by the
timely use of this medical herb, b there
one mad enough to believe, that this would
be heart-cheering intelligence I No—the
account of this rescue of so many lives from
death, would he looked upon as dull and
uninteresting matter. But we will further
suppose that by some frightful chemical
combination, an engine were discovered far
more destructive to the human race than
gunpowder, something that would sweep
with a broader explosion—something that
would enlarge the empire of death, what
would be the consequence ? This inventor
would, in all probability, be invited to out
country from Europe, by extraordinary
bounties and rewards. We‘would endeav
our to preserve this awfnl secret to ourselves
to bold i* our haqd*,tbe-exciWe means
of'doing such injury to our fellow men.
Let us take another instance, ask any of
our young men, dazzldd by the glitter of
military parade, which glory they would
prefer, that of Dr. Jenner, or that of the
Duke of Wellington? Dr. Jenner has by
vaccine inoculation, preserved thousands,
nay, millions of his countrymen from a pre
mature death; he has been the means in
the hands of divine providence, of prolong
ing this little transitory thread of human
life: where are his stars—where are his
garters, his titles of nobility—his Duke
doms—his stately palaces —his royal pres
ents—his services of plate, his congratula
tions and his coronets! Where are his re
wards? Alas! he has done nothing but to
preserve human life—he has never enter
ed into the regular service of the king of
terrors—he has never worn the livery of
his master. He deserves not high and daz
zling honours—but let a great and glorious
military chieftain arise, and let death attend
his footsteps like his shadow, and every part
of the world resounds in accordance with
his panegyricks; his presence is hailed like
that of a demi-god.
Now it may well be asked, is not human
nature fallen and degraded, when we see
such spectacles before our eyes; when even
in peace we are compelled to pile upon the
land and upon the ocean the magazines of
death, as our only security from the future
ravages of our present friends and allies.
We have often been mortified at hearing ob
jections made in aiding religious institutions and
operations not immediately in our own vicinity ,
state , or country ; and have always believed, that
in many instances, such objections were the
mere excuses of ararict , or cold-hearted-nets
to the cause of the divine Redeemer. The fol
lowing article will show, that however valid some
professing Christians may view such a considera
tion as forbidding them to build up the Saviour’s
kingdom, the men of the world feel no difficulty
on this score in the way of advancing the inter
ests of the prince of darkness.— Southern E. Int.
“An Actor's Reward. —A London paper
of Feb. 19, says, ‘Mr. Kean hag already
remitted home to Mrs. Kean eleven hundred
pounds sterling , as the early net produce of
his dramatick harvest in the United States
of America.’ What then must he obtain
before the termination of his engagements ?
Liberal indeed is the American publick to
theatrical adventurers, but the Rev. Mr.
Ward, with all his industry, between Bos
ton and Washington, could obtain for a
most benevolent object, not quite 10,000
dollars.
Had he come on a buffoon’s errand, peo
ple would have given him, as they do Mr.
Kean, probably more than 4,000 dollars
a month, for making them laugh ! Oh, that
they were wise; and would devote the
money now expended on pernicious amuse
ment* to any truly charitable establishment.
Had our Bible, Orphan, Education and

squandered on an actor , the increase of
much vice would have beeß prevented, and
the hearts of thousands would have sung for

COLONIZATION OF AFRICA.
Norfolk, June 4.
From Sierra Leone. —Captain Blair, who baa
arrived this morning from Sierra Leone (Coast of
Africa,) sailed from thence on the 6th of April, at
which time the African colonists were all enjoy
ing good health. The settlement at Sherbro’
Island had been broken up, in consequence of
the agents of the colony having failed in obtain
ing a title to the land for Which they had con
tracted. The passengers which went out in the
Nautilus had been provided for by the agents
with about 600 acres of land near Sierra Leone,
and Mr. Wynne remained there, to superintend
their interests. The settlement was not a per
manent one, the land being only rented. Mr.
Bacon and Mr. Andrews had purchased a schoon
er, and gone down to explore the coast, with a
view of fixing upon a site for a permanent settle
ment. Cape Coast was their object, if they
could negotiate a purchase with the natives upon
advantageous terms.
Captain Blair remained at Sierra Leone 42
days, and states, that lio wish was evincedbv
i any of the passengers who went out with him, or
i by any of those previously there, to return;
| were all perfectly satisfied with the change of
. country which they had made. The number on
the plantations which Mr. Wynne had rented
were a few upwards of fifty, amoug whom Was
the Rev. D. Coaker, who was in perfect health.
The few remaining at Sherbro’, which did not
exceed eight or ten, would leave there in a few
days, and proceed up to Sierra Leone, to join
those upon the plantation.
We have been favoured with Sierra Leone ga
zettes, by the Nautilus. They afford us nothing
interesting, except a paragraph, which we are
gratified to find evinces a disposition at the Brit
ish settlement at once friendly to the views of the
American Colonization Society, and hospitable
to the colonists.

MOUNT ZION, WEDNESIMY,JUNe%
From the Savaunah “ Georgian” we
subjoined letter from the Rev. Pliny Fisk,
of the American Missionaries to Palestine,
dressed to the President and Directors of theS,

With us, our readers will feel a deep in ten
in this communication. The ulftnate succes

ral and enlightened Christian. This field of
hour has been rendered consecrated ground

this letter was dispatched, is one of the citie
Asia Minor, where “ the seven churches” of p
stive times existed and flourished. Jerusalem
must ever be contemplated with veneration:

by the feet oflmmanuel, and without her \
was he cruoified for the sins of men.
down as the city now is by the Gentiles-,
temple crumbled to the dust—the presence d v
hovah withdrawn—her sacred rites, institute:,
heaven, exchanged for the profane
the Mussulman—and this ancient centre of
ish worship, now the resort of idle and deluq
pilgrims, well may the Christian church utt
over her fallen columns and mouldering ru
the pathetick words of the Son of God, “ 01
rusalem, Jerusalem!”
From the character, information and talent:
Messrs. Fisk and Parsons we may confidently
pect much correct and interesting intellige
from that part of Asia. The state of literati
morals and religion will come within-the immi
ate sphere of their inspection. And in the ini
imation communicated by these Missionaries)
citizens of the United States will feel a pec*
interest. They are our own countrymen, b
been educated among us, and are eminently!
voted to the work of winning souls to Christ
The former of these gentlemen, Mr. FylJt, ;
travelled over a considerable part of the state
Georgia, and has, in the different churches, m
warm friends, who ardently pray for ables
upon his self-denying labours. AV ith the fr
of missions in Savannah, he sustains a most ini
esting relation. By them he is supported vs
abroad from his native land, endeavouring ton
lighten the ignorant and reclaim the vicious.-
These friends of the Redeemer have, under God,
given him a commission to promulgate the putt
doctrines of the cross where divine light has (a)
centuries been well nigh extinguished, and whert
superstition, decked in the stolen garments of
piety, has swayed her cruel sceptre over a blitd
and deluded people. We have every reason tt!
believe, that the present labours of Mr. Fisk cl
distributing Bibles and Tracts—visiting scho;|
and addressing individuals on the fundament!
principles of the Christian system, will be folio*
ed by the most happy consequences. This woL
has commenced at a most auspicious
The country is rising in literature, and the intr

And the progress of this undertaking thus far, h
been directed by the rules of the most rigid pi
dence. It would probably be somewhat dilfict
to find a man qualified to accomplish a great
quantity of good than Mr. Fisk, and that teo wit
out exciting prejudice or provoking opposition.
Ihe remark has been frequently made, and!
ought to be still a thousand times reiterated, tfe
upon the citizens and churches of the Unitfi
States rests the strongest obligations to send bad
to superstitious and benighted Asia the means t
literary and religious instruction. Though v,
have more reason for humility than boasting as
nation, yet by the mercy of God, the inslilutio
of Christ established among us, retain soincthi
of their primitive purity; and we are. certaii
bound to commiserate the present deplorable ci
dition of that country, whose inhabitants w(
once as highly favoured as ourselves, j jkVatm
of refinement and taste amidst the eoolnfis a
retirement of his own literary grove, can conte
plate the state of learning in Smyrna and its
cinity, without feeling and expressing a dev
wish that the heavy clouds of ignorance may
rest upon this slumbering region forever ? Wl
father who enjoys all the facilities of bestow
upon his sons a liberal education, can reflect uj
the state of schools in that country where the
structers are profoundly ignorant of the very l
guage of the books which they pretend to tea
without sighing over their mental degradation
What mother,who believes in the intellectual ds
nity and the immortality of her daughters, c:
look upon the picture of “ female education” >
presented by Mr. F.—can peruse the senteiw
that “ multitudes who dress and dance in tl> s
finest style, can neither read nor write”—without
lifting to heaven an earnest supplication,
Gospel may speedily raise the female cjjractt
to the same elevation in that country which it hi
attained in this ? What enlightened Christia
amidst the simplicity of his own worship, will n
long, with a degree of holy impatience, for t
arrival of that period when the once favoured l)
now degraded Asia shall experience a complt
revolution ; when the rigorous despotism of h
governmerffs shall be softened down by the hli
sings of civil liberty— when idle pilgrimages sh
be abandoned— and when all anti-christian ril
and modes and forms shall be succeeded by t
purity of the truth as it is in Jesus ? And this and
we trust, is not far distant. Success has ahead
dawned upon this enterprise. Mr. Fisk remarl:
“ In truth I cannot say that in prosecuting tt
work I meet with any obstacle at all.” Moi
encouragement than this we could not either el
pect or desire. The Son of God has surely coif
mcnced the work of reformation among this lot(
neglected people—he has begun his march for (K
subjugation of these revolted provinces, and
our encourngement we have already “ seenl'*
stnr in the East.”
