    religious . A Dutch Jew of respectable character , Mr . JLapidoth , has been lately converted to Christianity . He , his wife , and thirteen children , were publicly baptised at Vianen , in Holland , 28 th March , 1805 . The ministers , elders , and deacons ,

    formjng the Consistory of the Nether land reformed Congregation at Vianen , have given him a certificate , which is now made public , of his good character , deliberate conversion , and serious piety . The Religious Magazines notice also the conversion of another Jew , Joseph Samuel , a German , now bearing the name

    of Frey ; who having been instructed m the English language at the expence of the Missionary Society ( of Calvinist Independents and Methodists ) , is now employed by them to preach a weekly lecture , on a Saturday evening , to the Jews . His lecture we learn is , now that the

    novelty of it is worn off , and that the heads of the Jews have discountenanced the attendance of their people , not much frequented , at least by those for whom it was instituted . The Missionary Society , it is said , intend publishing a narrative of his Conversion . The efforts of this class

    of Christians to christianise the Jews are in the highest degree praiseworthy . We confess we regard them with pleasure , and not with pleasure only , for we consider them as an experiment , whether the offspring of Abraham , who have so long resisted Pagan , can be won over to Christian idolatry !

    Two young men are engaged by the Missionary Society in learning the Chinese language , under the diiection of a native of China , now in . London ; and with him are constantly employed in making a correct copy of a Chinese nia T

    nuscript in the British Museum , containing a Harmony of the Go-pel , the Acts of the Apostles , Sec . These Missionaries are intended to go to the Prince of Wales * s Island , or to China , and there to perfect their knowledge of * the language , after

    which it is hpped they will be able ta make a correct translation of the Scrips tures into the Chinese tongue . A society is just instituted in . London , for the diffusion of religious knowledge in Ireland , denominated The Hibernian S 6- > ciety . We observe that the Committee includes gentlemen of various Calvinistic denominations .

    Contributions have been making for the distressed Germans resident in the seat of the late continental war , and above 8000 I . have been already subscribed , and chiefly we believe among the Dissenters and Methodists .

    The society for Missions to Africa and the east , established by the clergy calling themselves Evangelical , has sent out lately four missionaries , who are we apprehend Germans or Danes , They are immedi- " atejy to depart for Sierra L . eone in Afri ~ ca , from whence they are to proceed to the Susoo nation

    -We announced in pur last , that a society was on the point of formation , for encouraging Unitarianism by means of Popular Preaching ; we have now the pleasure to state that it is proceeding pros 7 perpusly . The object of the Society is to raise a Fund for the following purposes :

    1 st . To enable poor Unitarian congrega-r tions to carry on religious worship ; 2 d . To reimburse the travelling and other cxpences of teachers who may contribute their labours to the preaching of the

    Gospel on Unitarian principles ; and 3 d . To relieve those Dissenting Mini ters who by embracing Unitarianism subject themselves to poverty . Communinations for the Society may be addressed , for the ; present , to the Editor at the Printer s .
