at least of the Auxiliaries in Massachusetts and Maine, have adopted this measure, with evident advantage, and it is our hope that the practice may become general. State of the Treasury. The report of the Treasurer, exhibits a considerable balance in his hands, which may be accounted for in the following manner. The appropriation of the American Bible Society, to aid the publication of the Scriptures in Burmah, has but just been received, and is not yet remitted. The generous subscription of various other friends to the same object, in the form of a fund of $5000 payable in five annual instalments, of one thousand dollars each, adds to the amount. Besides the above, the Convention being one of the residuary legates of the late Mr. John Withington's estate, received from his executors in the month of March, $7000, a sum exceeding our anticipations, and enlarged by the fact, that the said executors, in consideration of the objects to which the money was to be devoted, declined the usual allowance for their services. There is another item which de mands our notice. Our much esteemed brother Judson, who has devoted his life to missionary work, has now added the last of his earthly possessions, amounting to $6000 to the same object, recommending that for the present, the interest only should be applied.t Three hundred and twelve Sicca Rupees have also been paid to the agent, by Rev. Mr. Hough, being moneys he had received to aid the Mission, at his discretion. But we ought not to conceal that all these sums which are subject to immediate use, are indispensable to meet existing demands against the Board, together with those that will grow out of the recent appointment and outfit of so many new Missionaries, and for which we should have been wholly unprovided, except for this most seasonable relief. It must, moreover, be kept in mind, that a sum equal to this amount, will in future be necessary, in addition to ordinary receipts, to maintain the Stations on the proposed scale of enlargement, and that the most vigorous efforts, by all our Societies, and individual friends, will be required to do it. LUCIUS BOLLES, Cor. Sec'y. EXTRACT FROM MR. JUDSON'S LETTER TO THE BOard. "Rev. and dear Sir, Maulmein, May 31, 1828. "When I left America, I brought with me a considerable sum of money, the avails of my own earnings and the gifts of my relatives and personal friends. This money has been accumulating at interest, for many years, under the management of a kind friend to the mission, and occasionally receiving accessions from other quarters, particularly at the close of the late war, until it amounts to 12,000 Rupees. I now beg leave to present it to the Board, or rather to Him, "who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood." I am taking measures to have the money paid to the Agent of the Board; and the payment will, I trust, be effected by the end of this year." TREASURER'S REPORT.
