Auxiliary Societies. We stated in our number for March, that numerous Auxiliary Associations had been organized of late in Kentucky, and under the most favourable auspices. Our list of donations will show, that $600 have already been received from the Agent of the Society (the Rev. Mr. Bascom) in that State. At Winchester, Virginia, a Society has just been established. We confess that we have been particularly gratified to observe the efforts of ladies, and also to learn that youthful hearts have been fired with zeal in the cause of Africa. A juvenile association was formed in Middletown, Conn., on the 21st of February last, the annual meeting of which, is to take place yearly, on the 4th of July. A promising Society has also been established, through the agency of the Rev. Isaac Orr, in the city of New York. A full meeting for this purpose was held in the Masonic Hall, and addresses were made by the Rev. Dr. Milnor, T. L. Knapp, Esq. and the Rev. Isaac Orr, general Agent of the Society. Much we think may be expected from this Society. Connecticut Colonization Society. The annual meeting of the Connecticut Colonization Society was held at Hartford on the 21st inst.-Governor Tomlinson, President, in the Chair. The Meeting was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Orr, Agent of the Parent Society, Seth Terry, Esq. and the Rev. Mr. Gallaudet. Seth Terry, Esq. moved the following resolution, accompanied with appropriate remarks. Resolved, That the society view with peculiar interest and approbation the practice which is obtaining among the churches, of contributing to the aid of this Society on the 4th of July, or the next succeeding Sabbath,—a practice which we hope will soon prevail throughout this State. Rev. Mr. Gallaudet moved the following: Resolved, That Rev. J. H. Linsley, Rev. N. S. Wheaton and Seth Terry, Esq. be a committee to devise measures to have an auxiliary Society to the Connecticut State Colonization Society, formed in each county in this State, one of the leading objects of which shall be, to have a public meeting in each town, or in several towns united for this purpose, in the county, on the 4th of July, of each year, at which meeting an address shall be delivered, and a contribution taken, to aid the funds of the American Colonization Society. Mr. Gallaudet urged the importance of adopting resolutions leading to practical results; advocated and defended the objects and designs of the General Society as eminently important, and entirely practicable: and pro posed, as an ultimate resort, if all others should prove insufficient, that the liberated slaves should be bound to pay for their passage, and even for their freedom, if necessary, after their arrival in Africa. Interesting Intelligence. We have been informed by a highly esteemed friend, that such is the disposition to emancipate slaves for the purpose of colonization, in some parts of North Carolina, that the society of Friends in that state, would immediately have placed under their care, about 2000, were they in possession of funds for their transportation to the Colony of Liberia. Abduhl Rahhaman, THE MOORISH PRINCE. "After an absence of forty years from his native country, during which long period he has been a slave in this land, Prince has a desire to see once more the land of his fathers, and to lay his bones among those of his kindred." He embarked in the Harriet for Africa. [Mr. Gallaudet's address on behalf of Abduhl Rahhaman. "Speed, speed, beneath the fresh'ning gale, Fast towards my father-land, Thou gallant ship, whose snowy sail Has waved near every strand. Fast as the coursers of the wind, Fast as the dawning light, Speed, like the thoughts which leave behind, Far, far, thy tempest flight. My limbs upon thy deck indeed, May listlessly remain, Yet now, as oft', by Fancy freed, My soul darts home again; And ship and sail, and rope and spar, And feelings, slavery could not mar, Father and Brothers, kindred all, I see the crowd, whose spirit fled I see the throng, who joined the dead I see the arm of manhood's might But what! although my father's halls, Do not the bright and glorious sun, The river, which since time has run, Unchanging still remain? And they, though sounds no human voice, That bids my inmost heart rejoice, As each arrests my view. For, what though friends and kindred all No more around me stand, Am I not near my father's hall, ས་ Transportation Subscriptions. L. In our number for February last, we mentioned a plan which had been suggested by the Rev. Geo. W. Campbell, recently employed as an Agent for the Society in the state of New York, for obtaining subscriptions of $30 each, the estimated price of passage for an adult emigrant to Liberia.

A list of donations received by Mr. Alexander Plumley, will appear in our next. The Rev. Isaac Orr, under date the 11th of May, acknowledges the receipt of several donations, which will in due time, appear in our list. Study of the Arabic Language. In our last number, p. 85, we mentioned an interesting article on the study of the Arabic Language, supposed to be from the pen of Capt. Thomson, whose letter in relation to our Society, gave evidence of such just and liberal views. We now publish this article, in hopes that to some of our readers, at least, it may prove of advantage. We believe that the study of this language should be neglected by none who propose to enter upon Missionary efforts in Africa, and that to all travellers in that country, a knowledge of it is of the highest importance. We trust, that it will receive special attention from the Directors of the African Mission School Society. The Arabic, it is well known, is in common use as a written language in the immediate vicinity of the Colony of Liberia. IF To the Editor of the Wesleyan-Methodist Magazine. you should think any of the following observations worth preserving, they are at your service. Should any person, under the direction of your Body, ever think of proceeding to Palestine or Egypt, one of his first previous objects should be to acquire the Arabic language. This is neither a short nor an easy work; but I apprehend you do not want only what is short and easy. On the contrary, your envoy must be a man of industrious habits; one who not only wills the end, but wills the means; one who will not spare pains, but desire in every thing to do too much rather than too little. It will be a great advantage to him if he is acquainted with La |
