RESTRICTED FROM THE THIRD ANNUAL REPORT.

 The Report begins with brief allu- sion to the extraordinary operations of the past year in extending the circula- tion of the Holy Scriptures, increa- sing the number of Missionaries in our own and foreign lands, multiplying the number of Sabbaths Schools, and promo ting the better observance of the Sabbath. Equally signal have been the smiles of Providence upon the efforts for the circu- lation of Religious Tracts insomuch that although the results of the previous year were so great as to be attributed by many to the excitement of novelty or some oth- CT temporary influence, they are only to those of the year now closing as three to five.

 The Report makes mention of the death of the Hon. Wm. Philips one of its Vice President and Rev. Drs. Henry and Payson, two of its directors, the lat- ter of whom, on the eve of his departure, exclaimed in triumph, " T he celestial city is full in my view its breezes fan me: its odors are waited to me its sound strikes upon my ear and its spirit is breathed into my heart. Nothing separates me from it but the river of death, which now appears but as an insignificant Till, that may be crossed at a single step, whenever God shall give permission" It also speaks of the death of Rev. Leigh Richmond, author of the Dairyman's Daughter '' the Young Cottager," and the " African Servant" ,"-and the Rev. Wm.zRust, au- thor of the "Swearer's Prayer.
