Of these stations, Retirement is in the parish of St. John's, Fairfield in St. Ann's, and the other three in St. Thomas-in-the-Vale. The scene of violent outrage mentioned in our January number occurred at Guy's Hill. Referring to that circumstance in a subsequent letter, Mr. C. observes: "The persecution some of my people suffered there is at an end. The hand of God appeared so plainly against them parties on the following morning, that one of them declared we had been praying against them. Their fear of us is such that their mistaken belief will prevent them, we think, from annoying us a second time." Although the parish of St. Ann's has formerly presented greater obstacles than any other part of the island to the progress of gospel truth, Mr. Coultart is favoured with great encouragement in his efforts. He supplies St. Ann's Bay, Brown's Town, Ocho Rios, and the Pedroes, and at all these places has large and increasing congregations. In the three former, he is commencing to build places of worship in the room of those which were destroyed; and in the last, ground has been offered him for a similar purpose by parties who, a few weeks before, had shown the most violent hostility. More help is urgently needed in this, as well as in other parts of the island. From Montego Bay Mr. Dendy writes, under date 30th December: "Our Missionary friends, Messrs. Vine and Alloway, of the London Society, arrived at Falmouth on the 24th instant, in pretty good health. On the 25th brother Knibb baptized 69 persons, and held public services in the chapel; on the 26th a further addition was made by the baptism of 68 candidates; and on sabbath-day, the 28th, there were between 700 and 800 communicants sitting around the Lord's table. Mr. Vine preached in the morning for brother Knibb, and Mr. Alloway in the evening; the services of the day were peculiarly interesting." By the arrival of Mr. Burchell, Mr. Dexter will be left at liberty to visit Rio Bueno and Stewart's Town. For the present, however, some intermission seems needful both for him and for Mr. Dendy, as both have been labouring beyond their strength to supply the deficiencies occasioned by the absence of Mr. Abbott. This last named brother, having been released from confinement by the rising of the House of Assembly on the 20th of December, had returned to his family; and through the mercy of God his health, instead of being impaired, had been improved by his temporary secession from active engagements. Previously to his arrest he had enjoyed the pleasure of adding 59 members to the church at Montego Bay, who were baptized on the 1st of November. Of the return of Mr. Burchell to the people of his charge after so long a separation, we must give our readers an account in his own words. His letter is dated December 23rd:-- I shall commence my present letter by giving you some account of my journey from Spanish Town, and my reception at this place.
