A number of sailors from Japan had come into Macao, and were ready to embark in the Himmaleh, on her contemplated visit to that island. It will be recollected that the Himmaleh was fitted out by friends of Christianity at Canton for the purpose of visiting the coast of China and other countries of southern and eastern Asia and the islands in those seas. The object of her voyages is to ascertain the condition of the people, the feasibility of establishing missions, and to distribute books in the various languages, wherever readers could be found. Mr. Stevens embarked in this vessel on her trip westward, and proceeded as far as Singapore, where, as was mentioned at page 459, he was called away by death on the 5th of January last. Mr. Dickinson was expected to take the place of Mr. Stevens in the vessel during her subsequent voyages.-Two or three years ago a company of Japanese sailors were wrecked on the coast of China. To these Mr. Gutzlaff had access, and so far acquired a knowledge of their language as to be able, with their assistance, to prepare some Scripture tracts in it. It is to be hoped that the treatment which these sailors and those more recently brought in have received, together with their safe return to their native island in a christian vessel, may tend, in the course of divine providence, to overcome the prejudices and hostile feeling which have been cherished in Japan against the introduction of christian knowledge.
