At Port Maria Mr. Baylis had the pleasure of receiving fifty-nine persons by baptism on the 20th of July last. He labours with great diligence, and is cheered, at each of his stations, by proofs of a divine blessing resting on his exertions.
Mr. Whitehorne reports, from Mount Charles, that the same increase of congregation, and earnest desire to learn to read, exists in the several places where he maintains public worship, as at other stations; while from Montego Bay, and Falmouth, our brethren Abbott, Dexter, and Dendy, renew their earnest solicitations for further aid. We rejoice to learn that Mr. Burchell arrived in safety at Kingston from New York, on the 27th of October; and we trust not only to be permitted to make the same announcement, in a few days, respecting Mr. Knibb, but to witness further accession, shortly, to the number of faithful and devoted labourers in this interesting portion of the missionary field.
Mr. Harjette and his family have embarked for Calcutta in the David Clarke, Capt. Rayne, and sailed from Portsmouth.
A letter has been received from Mr. George Pearce, dated at sea, Sept. 6th, in N. lat. 4°, W. long. 23°. Mr. and Mrs. P. were quite well, and had received much kind attention from the Captain and their fellow-passengers.
