reckoned on, considering my own weakness, inattention and worthlessness. My God, I bless thee for these! These are my joy and crown: now, let me watch over my own soul; and, O thou Spirit of life, and love, and liberty, accomplish in me complete redemption! Prosper my way to Agra, and prepare much people to thyself there, for Jesus Christ’s sake! This evening attended the funeral of Captain W.--H. M. 53rd. Regiment. The band played before the corpse; and a more affecting scene I have not witnessed for a long time. God, I praise thee that I have not been cut down as a cumberer of the ground. O, teach me so to number my days that heavenly, holy wisdom may be my _only_ pursuit!” Mr. Corrie had not been long at Cawnpore before it became apparent that Mr. Martyn’s health was in so unsatisfactory a state, as to render it necessary that he should be relieved from the duties of the station. Mr. C. was in consequence detained there to assist Mr. Martyn. His own account of this circumstance is contained in a letter:-- TO THE REV. D.

I am under the same roof with Martyn. Sabat is within call; and of him you will be glad to hear that he is far more respectful and careful in his intercourse with Martyn, than he used to be. He seems to feel that he has gone the ‘length of his tether,’ and is evidently anxious to keep on good terms. He seldom omits doing something in the translations daily; so they proceed regularly. I am greatly pleased with his corrected Persian gospels, which I can read with facility; and having read much of the Shah Nameh, think the style much like that book. The Hindoostanee New Testament will, I suppose, become a standard for future editions. To any one acquainted with the Hindoostanee of Gilchrist, it will not be very difficult.
