Note. A donation of 400 dollars from Joseph Newell, Esq. of New bury, was through mistake included in the amount of Newburyport subscriptions, in the November Panoplist.

Sundry donations in provisions, lately received from the towns of Bedford, Boscawen, Concord, Weare, and other towns in New Hampshire, estimated at 200 dollars, or upwards, are omitted in the foregoing sched. ule.

The inaccuracies, which have been corrected, generally occurred in extracting the sums from the books of the Committee, Selectmen, &.

As great accuracy is desirable in the monthly accounts of donations which are published, all persons who receive donations to be paid over to the Treasurer of the Board of Commissioners, are requested to make a memorandum of the sums they receive, with the dates, and the names of donors, and to leave such memorandums with the Treasurer when they pay over the money. Donations from the towns of Abington and Weymouth, will be published in

our next.

* An additional sum (not yet received,) has been given for this purpose by this Society.

†An additional sum (not yet received) of nearly $100 has been given by the Officers and Students of Yale College; so that the whole amount given by them, and by the two above mentioned Societies, is not far from $900.

The Christian zeal which has been exhibited in the numerous donations, to support Foreign Missions, and to aid the translation of the Bible into the languages of Asia, is truly admirable, and has excited lively emotions of joy and gratitude in the minds of many. The cheerfulness and alacrity with which many persons offered their money has rarely been paralleled, even in the annals of religious beneficence. The poor were eager to share with the rich the pleasing satisfaction of contributing to send the Gospel to the Heathen. Several instances deserve particular notice. A man in quite moderate circumstances gave a five dollar bill; his wife, wishing to give her offering also, and not having money in her possession, immediately devoted her gold necklace to this best of causes. A hired girl in Boston gave, without the least solicitation, ten dollars which she had saved from her wages. She only inquired, if the money would certainly go to the Missionaries; and, on being assured that it would, immediately requested her employer to pay it. Several other hired girls, in country towns, gave three dollars each; and others less, according to their ability.

The Prudential Committee were agreeably surprised to find the donations greatly exceed their most sanguine expectations. Within three weeks, including the day on which the Missionaries were ordained, not far from 6,000 dollars were received in donations, the greater part of which was altogether unexpected.

OBITUARY.

DIED, at New Haven, in Nov. last, Mr. JEREMIAH ATWATER, for many years Steward of Yale College, aged 77. He had been long a professor of religion, and was greatly esteemed on account of his active usefulness, his hospitality, his love of the clergy and of good men generally, his cheer

ful piety, and his daily performance of domestic, social, and religious duties. He died at the funeral of his aged friend, the Rev. Mr. Williston, and spent his last moments in offering up prayers for his family, and for ministers of the Gospel.

We decline inserting the effusion of JOHN URICK, and several pieces of poetry from anonymous correspondents.

A correspondent expresses himself highly gratified with the proposal of a new Life of President Edwards, as stated in our number for February, 1811, p. 408; and thinks such a work would be exceedingly useful.

Hints from a LAY BROTHER will be noticed hereafter.

We hope soon to present our readers with an accurate and systematic statement of the origin and progress of the Eastern Translations of the Bible, compiled by a correspondent, who has spent much time in arranging mate rials and consulting authorities.
