themselves to the Committee for Missionary employment , 23 have been accepted ; same of whom are already gone to the places of their destination ; but the majority are yet under probationary studies . Forty-two individuals have , in toe course of the last year , studied at the Society ' s Institution at Islington , and it is proposed to enlarge the buildings for the accommodation of 50 students .
The above is chiefly extracted from a <{ Table of Missions , Stations , Labourers , Schools , and Scholars , " prefixed to the Report . Our attention has been attracted by it to the increase of its schools in In * dia ; according to this report , it has now 207 schools and no less than 8 , 404 scholars under its care in India . It were much
to be wished that we had some more particulars respecting the actual state of these schools , particularly of those at Burdwan , than we have yet been able to obtain * Neither Mr Adam nor Rammohun Roy is sufficiently minute to meet the inquiries of persons who have been long familiarized to the names of Chunar , Burdwan , Cotyni , &c , and who want to know their report of the instruction going on at the different schools established in
these places . One Missionary at Burdwan gives us an account of an examination of the female scholars , 292 in number , niauy of whom were reading the Gospel of Matthew , in Bengallee , Watts ' s Catechism , and other books printed for them by the Society . Boys at the English schools are also said to be making advances in the knowledge of our own language .- — " Are these things so ?"

Rev . J . Wolff ' s Challenge . While on the subject of Mr . Taylor aud his disciples and opponents , we must subjoin the following curious epistle from the celebrated Mis&iouary Wolff , who labours , or says he labours , so hard in the conversion of Catholics , Mahometans , and Jews , and has lately received a part of his
reward in the hand of a lady of rank . We really do not see why , if Mr . Missionary Wolff is correct in the epithets which h « gives his opponents , he should thus refu . se consortiug with his equals . A man is to be tried by his peers , and we cannot but think the whole party here would be very fairly grouped .
Additional Challenge . To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle . Sir , My advertisement of a challenge sent to the Catholics , induced Edwd . B . Singley , a member of the Blasphemous Society called " Christian Evidence Society , " to send me a challenge to come forward and defend the tenets of the Christian Religion in their meetings . I herewith reply ,
that I like to discuss the subject with men of reason , but as I consider all the Members of the " Christian Evidence Society " as a parcel of fools , I refuse to accept the challenge of one of those fools \ and declare herewith that I do not mind them at all , and they shall never see que io their dirty assemblies . Whilst I herewith again challenge the Rev . Dr . Poynder , and add a challenge to the sensible Dr . Solomon Herschel , Great Babfci of London . JOSEPH WOLFF , Missionary 4 , Portugal Street , March 9 , 1827 .
