the mode in which a young German converted Jew labours for the spiritual welfare of his mother, a woman who seems to be touching the righteousness which is by the law blameless:' in his letters to her he comments upon some passage of the Old Testament in the words of Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews, without naming the author, and asks her opinion upon that which he has offered to her consideration; she usually replies that she approves of what he has said; upon which he rejoins by telling her that he is very happy that she approves of what he submitted to her attention, but that the whole was taken from a letter which one Paul, a follower of the hanged One' wrote to his nation. He recommends her strongly to read it: she seems to have followed his advice, not unaccompanied by a blessing.

Three new Societies, Auxiliary to the London Continental Society, have been formed in the above named districts: that judicious measure which is the fundamental rule of the Society, namely, to leave all questions of Church government and discipline to the choice and de

termination of the new converts themselves, gives the completest facility to the formation of Auxiliaries in every country, because it interferes with no established forms whatever.

We are sorry to learn by letters from Italy, of the 17th of August, that Mr. Joseph Tartaro, who had made a successful tour throughout the greater part of the Neapolitan and Pontifical States, distributing the word of God, has been ar rested on this account by the Austrian Government at Milan. At some places Mr. Tartaro had so far overcome the ill-founded jealousies of the enemies of the Sacred volume, that pulpits had been heard to resound with panegyrics the English and Russians for their zeal in this cause. The Austrian Government has repeatedly manifested more aversion to the dissemination of the Scriptures than even the Papal itself: we believe that up to this moment only one Bible Society exists in any part of those im mense Territories, namely, that at Pres burg in Hungary, which was established some years ago by Mr. Leo, of Paris.
