REVIVAL AT WAILUKU, IN THE SAr^DWTCH ISLAND. The Rev. Mr. Armstrong, one of the missionaries of the American Boar J, who is 8tatione<l at Wailuku, on the island of Maui, in a lettter dated on the 4tli of August last, gives the following account of the recent religious reformation at that station. As the fruits of this reformation he had received to the church, within twelve months, 839 persons, making the whole number 869; and the ?iumberof the congregation had so much increased, that the old meetting.house, 40 feet by 92, was too small to accommodate them, and the people had undertaken to build a new house, of stone, 50 feet by 100, with a gallery. The number of attendants on public worship on the Sabbath was usually about 1800, and frequently 2500. Shortly after our return from the general meeting in June cf last year, it was evident that our people had a M hearing ear." A r : 1 : 1 sp.ru a inquiry anu uicrcusuu ancunuu were manifest. Meetings began to be very full and solemn; But the imptessions, so far as I could judge, were not so deep and ! positive as I wished to see. There was ! more wakeful attention than real concern j for the soul. Things continued in much the same state, with perhaps a little increase of feeling, until about the first of December, when prospects began to brighten. An increase of interest, and especially of feeling, was observed in our day.break nvetings, and in private conversation. New Year's day was observed as a day of fasting and prayer, by many out of, as well as those ' in, the church. It was a day of much solem-1 nity and much feeling. AU seemed to have but ono mind, viz. an opprcrsive sense of guilt, in view ofthe amazing mercy of God in Christ Jesus. Neglected, despised, rejected mercy was the whole topic. Some members ofthe church of good character began to quake, and two of our oldest and best members proposed in public to with, draw from the church and absent them, selves from the approaching communion. One of them throwing himself back upon ; his seat, and with a countenance full ofdes- J pair, said, MI have no religion, and the ' whole population might as well go to the Lord's table as I." Prayer now began to be offered with much fervency, and often with strong cry> ing and tears, and the work from this tim * assumed a decided character. Unti. now, we were hoping for a revival, but now we felt that we were in the midst of one. We had heretofore held our morning meetings in a large school house, which will hold ubout four hundred persons ; but we were now obl ged to go to the meeting-house ir order to get room. The meetings were opened as soon as I could see to read a hymn, and many of them were the most solemn and interesting that I ever witnessed. Though no measures were taken to excite the feelings, aside from a simple declaration of the truth, the house was often a scene of sighing and weeping. Finding the hearts of the people so tender, I thought it best not to aim at exciting the animal feelings, which are easily roused among the natives, and as quickly vanish ; but I rather sought to impart correct conceptions of the char, acter of God, the nature of sin, the plan of salvation, the worh of the Sp rit, the nature of true religion, etc. But the topic which I most of all insisted nnnn was the sin and danger of rejecting an offered Savior. The truths contained in such passages as these, he that believeth not is condemned already 41 If any man love not the Lord JeSUS Christ let him be anathema, maranatha," and the like, seemed to me to be the most efficacious in breaking the heart and hum. bling the sinner. During the last week in January we held a series of meetings, of six days' continuance, in which I was assisted by Messrs. Green and Andrews. A great crowd attended, and a very deep impression was made. Some hundreds manifested con* cern for their eternal welfare, and quite a number still appear te have been savingly benefitted. After this meeting I gave myself wholly up to preaching, and conversing with the anxious and inquiring. The ex. citement shortly became general and em. braced ail ages and classes. The children in the schools partook largely in the common feeling and quite a number, perhaps over a hundred, yet appear well as Chris, tians ; although not over half that number have been baptised as converts. In February and March I had a series of meetings at the two out.stations, which ? T O - . were attended by thousands, and results, similar to those above mentioned, followed especially at Haiku. By the first of April, the whole population around us was under deep excitement; many, perhaps the ma. jority, were not actuated by any real con. cern for their souls, but were moved because others were ; and it is feared they will re* lapse again into their former stale of stupidity. Time only can tell how many have been born of the Spirit and raised to newness of life. Hundreds still profess to be, and appear to be, resolved on following the Lamb of God , but the general excite, merit has subsided. Meetings are well attended, but that deep solemnity and wake* fut interest which, a few months ago, rested upon the assemblies, has passed away in a great measure. As to measures, new or old, I have used none or allowed none to be used, except calling upon those who had chosen Christ to separate themselves,in order to be instructed in classes and be carefully watched over so as to learn what manner of spirit they are of. I keep a book by me, in which I write the name of every individual who appears to be serious, and then I class tbem by nei. bcrhoods or villages, and meet them every week for instruction, conversation, prayer, &c. When I am satisfied with any one, I baptize him forthwith, i have now some hundreds in these classes, and of many there ishopo that they have experienced the grace I have differed widely in my cotnrse from iOHM of my brethren. As a faithful watch. fWn, I could not, in the present state of so ciety her*1, receive persons to tho commun. ion of the church, without pretty satisfactory evidence of their piety, and to have this evidence more time is necessary than we have yet had in the revival. S jme reason for caution in this solemn business I will here state. 1. The natives are very excitable on any subject; and in the present state of society especially so on the subject of religion. 2. In a number of instances the fairest appearances are found connected with the indulgence of secret in. iquity. This is not uncommon among nativ? s. 3 If they are real converts they will not be likely to full away by being looked, at a few months, especially if they enjoy constant instruction. 4. The history of excitement in these islands is calculated to produce caution. 5 A corrupt church is greatly to be dreaded and to bo avoided if ! possible. In this revival I would acknowledge with devout grnti ude the assistance I have received from several native church members, especially Bartiineus, whose labors have been signally blessed, as 'any one would suppose, who knows him. Some young men in the church have been filled with the Spiiit, and would at times plead with sinners to be reconciled to God, as they would plead for their lives. I might mention aiso mat mi. uiwi, the female seminary, has assisted me much, although laboring almost exclusively in a separate sphere. The seminary has been blessed. Twelve of the young misses are now members of the church, and others will, I hope, soon be. On the whole, the last has been a blessed year. It has been a year of tho right hand of the Lord among us?a year of toil and yet of enjoyment. Blessed be the Lord our God forever. Let heaven and earth praise j him. Let the churches rejoice and take courage. They are now paid for all the ( money they have expended on this nation, , with more than compound interest. i Extract cf a letter from Rev. Mr. Coan, ! Missionary of tho American Board. , On the 19:h of March, I wrote you a i somewhat full account of the work of God's Spirit among this people. Since then, it has advanced without interrup1ion, and with un. abated energy ; and now while I write, tho waves of salvation roil deep and broad over this field. The Spirit of the Highest breathes upon the slain They breathe? ih?*y live?they stand up an army to praise the Lord. Every day gives us fresh de. monstrations that God has awaked to our help, and that this is his work. Since t last wrote to you, I have been almost constantly engaged in preaching.trav- ] elling among the people, and examining can- i d dates for the church. I usually preach 1 from seven to twenty times a week, and the people are still eager to hear. A large 1 congiegation can be collected here on the shortest notice, and at almost any time of ' day or night. Our congregation at tho stac.? a tion has sometimes sweuea to uvc, si*, uuu even to seven thousand. 44 Who are these that flv as a cloud and as doves to their win dows Christ rides gloriously in the chariot of salvation. His arrows are in the hearts of his enemies. There is a great j quaking among sinners through this fie.d. ] During a recent tour through Hilo and Pu. i na, in which Mr# W. accompanied me, the samo general tokens of the divine presence were manifested as I dest ribed on a former J occasion. The gospel was every where the power of God unto salvation. It was like the fire and the hammer. The most < hardened sinners were melted and broken i under it. Many, who on a former tour re- I mained in their houses,or hid themselves in * * ? - t?_L? _T ai> K nnttj tho jungle 10 avoiu ine ugui ut uu >, came out of their lurking places, and sub. mitted with tears to the Lord Jesus. In my last, I wrote to you that on the | first Sabbath in January, 1833,140 were re. ceived into this church, and that 502 more were added on the first Sabbath in March. On the first Sabbath in July 1,705 were taptizedand received to the communion and fellowship of the church. This was a great, and solemn, and glorious day. A scene never to be forgotton. I was alone with my family at the station at that time; my beloved associates, Messrs. L. and W. having gone to Oahu. Those 1705 I bap. tized in one afternoon, and on the same oc. casion, broke bread to about 2,400 communicants. In selecting and examining the 1705 candidates, I spent much time and care, attended with many prayers and tears. I met them all personally, fivo or six times, besides preaching to them often collectively. During tours which I made in Hilo and Puna, in the months of July and August, I baptized and received to the fellowship of the church, 452 individuals. These were chiefly the aged, tho sick, and the infirm, who had for a considerable time given evi. dence of regeneration, but who were too feeble to come to the station. For the consolaiion of these and other aged and sick disciples, I udministered the Lord's Supper at seveial dif? rent places through which I passed. At our communion season on the first Sabbath of the present month, (Sep. tember,) 618 individuals were added to the church, making in ail, 3,381 souls who have been received to this communion on profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, ! since the first of January, 1838. The j whole number now in communion with this church, is about 3,500. About 400 of these am children between five nnd fifteen years old. Five hundred candidates now stand pro. pounded for our next communion, and I am now spending about two days every week in the selection and examination of hopeful converts, of whom there are yet multitudes not brought into the church. Truly Zion here is made to enlarge the place of her tent and to spread forth her curtains. Warnings?To men who commit their eternity to the chance of a life which any ono of ten thausand accidents may, the next moment, bring to an end; who lie down securely on beds which they may change that night for couches of fire, and act as if they alone (ofall men living,) had made a covenant with hell, and could muz. zle the jaws of the grave till they were them, selves disposed to enter jt : to fools like these what argument can be scccessfully offered ? I know no course but to alarm their instinctive fears with examples of early and sudden mortality : to tell them how such an one went to his bed a healthy and prosperous man, on whose countenance the shadow of death was dark in the morn, ing ; howtho marriage feast was spread in such a house, and the young bride passed to her chamber, and knew not that the mirth i of her friends would soon be changed into I sorrow over her grave ; of sucli a neighbor / who went forth to the gate of the city, and the crowd trod on him tiiat he died ; of these men slain by robbers ; of those swallowed up by the sea ; of some that fell victims to the pestilence that walketh in darkness, and others whom a fly, a grapestone, a ffnt in the path, or a tile from the house, top took away in the morning of their lives, and the middle of their schemes, and the heat of their blood and their trangressions, without a day, an hour, a moment for reflection or for prayer.? Bishop Heber* RELICS. A traveller on the Continent, visiting a cathedral, was shewn by the sacristan, among other marvels, a dirty opaque glass phial. After eyeing it for some time, th? traveller said, 44 Do you call this a relic ? Why, it is empty." Empty," retorted the sacristan, indignantly," Sir, it contains some of the darkness that Moses spread over the land of Egypt." INSURANCE.

THE increased tharo of public attention which the subject of Female Education has recently received, and tho lively interest which is egioning to be felt in its behalf are encouraging Bigns of future improvement. The System which has long obtained in our country, it is to be regret, ted, is radically defective in that almost exclusive attention is paid to the ornamental to the neglect of that which is of primary importance. This desideratum, it has been the effort of Mrs. Green, the principal of the Rockingham Female Institute to supply ; and the result of the recent exaznina. tion which we had the pleasure of attending, J roves that it was uot without success. In this nstitution the culture of the mind is the cardinal object of attention ; and greater importance is attached to the formation of habits of close thought and protracted mental effort by which the mind is endued with strength, vigour and elasticity, than to any given amount of crude information garnered up in tho "store house of memory." Tho committee having attended the recent examination, tako pleasure in expressing the satis, faction thev felt in witnessing the interesting exercises. We feel no hesitancy in pronouncing it equal, if not superior, to any examination of the kind we ever before witnessed; and tne readiness and accuracy with which answers wero given to the questions propounded, and the promptness and facility with which sections and chapters of difficult t?xt.bcoks were analized, did honour totho pupils and reflected credit on their worthy instructress. On the Evening of the same day we wero highly entertained with the performances of the young ladies on the Piano Forte and Guitar; and though we are not professed connoisseurs, the exhibition, we think, indicated that the performers correctly understood the true principles of Musick. The exercises closed and we retired to our respective places of abode, after having passed a highly interesting day. The health and society of our village render it a very desirable location for a female Institution ; and when we add to this, the competencyjof the principal and assistant, the committ o take the pleasure in recommending the Rockingham Fe. male Institute to the liberal patronage of an intelligent public.

THE present number closes the first volume of the Silk Grower, and we now take the opportunity to return our thanks to those kind friends who have so liberally patronized us. The success of the work has exceeded our most san. guine expectations, and will cause Us to Ep&re no la~or or expense whatever to make the SECOND VOLUME interesting to the SILK GROWER and the FARMER. The work now circulates over ten thousand copies every month to subscribers in all parts of the Uuion?and from the continued demand for it, no doubt is entertained that the patronage will be increased in a few months at least four fold. We have placed in tho hands of au eminent French translator, moro than 1000 pages of New Treatises upon The Silk Worm and the Sugar Beet, which were sent us from Europe, and in our next shall commeuce the publication of them, knowing that th information there given will be useful and satisfactory. We have also been promised the correspondence of several celebrated French Silk Cul'urists, which will also be pro. mulgated through our pages. In fact all that we can do to disseminata practical knowledge as to the silk business shall be done. In beginning a New Volume, we are solicit, out that every person who wishes to obtain a knowledge of the Silk Culture, and the growing of the Legitimate Morus Multicau'is tree, will be persuaded to send u* their subscriptions at once, that they may secure the work from the commencement of the number just about to be pub. lished. The year's subscriptions to the first volume will cease with the number now sent, and we look with confidence for a renewal of the same immediately, as there is a progressive in. terest in the business which makes it requisite that our readers should become acquainted with the important results of practice and experience which we have to lay before them.
