sioned, for a certain period, an omission of his own more immediate duties at Sand. wich.

"The Rev. Joseph Thompson, Missionary at Cavan, preaches on the four Sundays in the month, and four different places, and occasionally visits other Settlements, when invited. On the 30th of September, he proposed to visit Emily township, which is settling rapidly. He had at times been there before, to pray with the sick, and administer the Sacrament. The people are very industrious and respectable, and the land is excellent. It is a high gratification to see occasionally English, Scotch, Welsh, Irish, Germans, and American Loyalists, all unite in the same congregation.

"The Rev. William Leeming, Missionary at Chippewa, reports, that the people are preparing to build a Church; and they assure him that it will be finished at the close of the year. The subscription, together with 1001. from the fund placed at the disposal of the Bishop by the Society, will enable them to erect a very substantial building. He himself has sub scribed 200 dollars. The principal inhabitants are Presbyterians, yet they have subscribed to the church. It was at first objected to its being exclusively Episcopalian; but they are now reconciled to it. He has every reason to be satisfied with the treatment he has received, and with the disposition manifested towards the Church. The township of Stamford, in which Chippewa is situated, contains about 1200 souls,—630 males, and 556 females. The congregation has increased considerably since his residence, and he is in hopes will become more numerous. He has distributed many Prayer Books, and Religious Tracts, the good effects of which are very visible.

"The inhabitants of Fort Erie and its vicinity, comprising a variety of denomi nations of Christians, have lately erected a Church, which was intended to be equally free to the Preachers of the different sects to which they belong. This association has lately been dissolved, and many of the subscribers are very desirous to secure the building to the Church, an object which will be much facilitated by the grant of some assistance. He proposes to preach there as often as circumstances will allow. The distance is about eighteen miles. His services have hitherto been confined to his own parish, which is extensive, and he has regularly preached to two separate congregations.

"The Rev. Salter Mountain, Missionary at Cornwall, reports, that the great and

increasing want of money has again delayed the painting and repairs of the Church. Arrears of pew rents were due to him last year more than sufficient for the purpose, and he proposed to appropriate it to that object, but the plan has failed. No progress has yet been made towards the erection of a Church at Milles Roches, and he has only to repeat his hope that a more favourable state of things will prevent its being ultimately abandoned.

"The Rev. William Sampson, Missionary at Grimsby, writes, that the Bishop, in the course of his visitation, confirmed twenty-nine persons, some of them adults, out of his township, which, considering the limited number of the population, and the variety of sects therein, fully equalled his expectation. The congregation comprehends many more than actually communicate with the Church, perhaps to an extent of one-third of the whole number.

"The Rev. G. O. Stewart, Missionary at Kingston, writes, that in consequence of the great increase of the inhabitants, it is in contemplation to build a new Church before the termination of the year, the present building not being sufficiently large to accommodate the congregation. Several Churches are now building in the province, which, with the late increase of Missionaries, gives an animating aspect to the exertions of the Society. The Lord Bishop of Quebec held a visitation at York, where the Clergy of the Province assembled to hear a charge delivered by the Bishop; the increased number of Missionaries, and the excellent charge de livered by his Lordship, made the scene interesting and impressive. On his Lordship's return to Quebec, forty-six persons were confirmed, from the congregation at Kingston. Mr. Stewart has succeeded in' establishing a District Committee, in aid of the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge; it is intended to connect the Committee with the Parent Society, and also with the Diocesan Committee at Quebec. His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor is Patron, and the Bishop President; since his last he has occasionally visited the Mohawks. The School-master and Catechist are attentive to their duties.

"The Rev. Robert Addison, Missionary at Niagara, avails himself of the opportunity afforded him by the Military. Chaplain, who officiates every Sunday in the Church, to visit the neighbouring settlements, where he meets with numerous and attentive congregations, and baptizes the children. Mr. Norton has finished the

translation of St. Matthew, and proposes to continue his labours till the Indians are furnished with all the Gospels in their native language. Aaron Hill, the reader and interpreter to Mr. Leeming, is able to give him much assistance. It would be desirable to establish three or four Schools in the district.

"The Rev. Michael Harris, Missionary at Perth, writes, that the erection of the Church had been delayed from the nec ssity of waiting for a reply from Lord Bathurst, previously to the issue of 2001. promised by his Excellency the Governor. As a favourable answer has now been received, he is confident that in his next letter he will be able to report considera ble progress in this very desirable work. The present place of Public Worship is so small, that half his congregation are deterred from coming. The roads are not sufficiently good to allow of the people from the back settlements attending Divine Service at the School-house; but he frequently visits them, and is enabled to speak most favourably of their dispositions.

"The Rev. Richard Pollard, Missionary at Sandwich, writes, that he had just returned from Amherstburg, where he had the satisfaction of administering the Sacra ́ment to thirty-two communicants: he opened the Church upon the River Thames, distant fifty-five miles, in October, where they were enabled to finish the inside, by a donation of 251. from the fund raised in England by Dr. Stewart. The stone Church at Lake Erie is covered in, but not finished in the inside; it has already cost 1500 dollars; that at Sandwich 2000 dollars, but there still remains a debt of 400 dollars. Mr. Pollard gave 40 dollars to procure a stove, without which the Church would have been useless during the Winter.

"The Rev. William Weagant, Missionary at Williamsburgh, reports, that the congregation has annually increased since his first residence: when he was first appointed to the Mission, there were no members of the Church of England, since that period, the Bishop has held three confirmations, at the first eight were confirmed; at the second forty-eight; at the third fifty-three.

"LOWER CANADA.

"The Rev. Micaiah Townshend, Missionary at Caldwell and Christie Manor, reports, that the Church at the latter place is at length completed with the exception of painting, and was dedicated to

Almighty God on the 3d of September, in the presence of a numerous and devont congregation. The Church at Caldwell Manor has also been repaired. Divine Service is performed at both Churches every Sunday, from May 1st, to November 1st, and during the other part of the year on alternate Sundays.

"The Rev. Edward Parkin, Missionary at Chambly, writes, that he has reason to believe that the advantages afforded his congregation have not been bestowed in vain. Considering the number of the Protestant part of the population, the attendance at Church is very satisfactory. His Excellency the Governor gave them. 2001. towards the completion of the building, which, with some exertion on the part of the people, may be sufficient for the substantial work. A bell will still be wanting, which is absolutely necessary to secure punctuality in attendance; as well as a communion service, a fence round the Church-yard, and a Parsonage-house, which is not yet contemplated. The communicants do not exceed twenty, which is a small proportion of the congregation. These principally consist of Scotch Presbyterians, and though they have no difficulty in attending the service of the Church, yet they hesitate to participate in the Holy Sacrament, considering that ordinance as the badge of their peculiar profession.

"The Rev. Charles Cotton, Missionary at Dunham, reports, that with the assistance of the liberal bounty of the Society, there is every prospect that the Church will be so far finished as to admit of the performance of Divine Service in it in the course of the summer. The supply of Bibles and Religious Tracts has been of infinite use both in the School and in private houses. Many persons who still adhere to the Methodist connection, communicate in the Church; and although their continuance is in some degree uncertain, yet it proves the diminution of enthusiasm.

"The Rev. Louis Charles Jenkins, who was appointed in the preceding year Assistant Missionary at Quebec, was prevented by many untoward accidents from reaching his destination, and he was compelled to winter in Prince Edward's Island. On the breaking up of the ice, he availed himself of the first opportunity to proceed to Quebec, but he was again, after persevering for eighteen days, at the imminent risk of his life in his attempts to proceed up the St. Lawrence, compelled to return to the place where he had passed the winter; he proposed to make a further

attempt in the course of a short time. During his residence on the island, he visited the greater part of it, and found many persons attached to the Church of England, and anxious for an opportunity of joining in its worship.

"The Rev. J. Reid, Missionary at St. Armand, writes, that at length the people have been enabled to complete a neat and substantial stone Church, capable of containing, when finished, from four to five hundred persons. At present they have no funds for erecting a pulpit, desks, pews, &c. &c. but they expect to accomplish this object in a short time. The congregation is numerous, attentive, and well disposed towards the Church, though many of them have been brought up in the Presbyterian principles. He is not without hopes that important benefits have already resulted to the people from the establishment of a Mission among them: such at least is their opinion. There certainly is a considerable alteration for the better in the general feeling of the people on religious subjects, and in several individual cases a visible improvement in their outward conduct and deportment.

"The Hon. and Rev. Dr. Stewart, the Visiting Missionary, returned to Canada late in the summer, in company with Mr. Whitwell, who was adopted by the So

ciety as a Missionary in the course of last year. He reports that the Bishop had placed Mr. Whitwell in Shefford, with the charge of two Churches in that township. He himself remained at Hatley till the snow roads became passable. On the 11th of December he proceeded to Ascot; afterwards passing through the village of Sherbrooke, he went to Shipton, in which township he performed divine service both morning and evening. The next day he pursued his course to Drummondville, where he visited Mr. Wood, a diligent and excellent Missionary. On his return through Kinsey, he enquired into the probability of building a Church there, but the population was found to be unequal to such an undertaking. In Shipton, the people are much engaged in making roads, but ere long they propose to build a Church.

"At Milbourne and Sherbrooke, which places he had visited, the frames of Churches are built. The Church at Ascot will be finished in the summer, when it is intended to commence the erection of a Parsonage-house. The Churches at Eaton are also far advanced. In the course of a week he proposes to leave Hatley again, and proceed, viâ Stanstead, Shefford, St. Armand, to Montreal and Hull, and from thence to Upper Canada."
