Extract of a Letter from the Rev. John Polglase, dated Lakemba, Feejee, April 23d, 1855.

I send you an extract from my journal of a visit to the Thithia and Vanuambalavu branches of this Circuit; but it may be proper first to state, that my object, at this time, in going was not so much a visitation of the classes,—for this is not practicable in a Circuit so extensive as Lakemba, with only one Missionary, as it would necessitate his spending too much time away from the Station, and must, therefore, to a great extent, be left with the Native Assistant Missionaries,—as to acquaint myself with the general state of the work, and to inspect the characters and qualifications of the officers employed for carrying it on, being persuaded that if these are right-hearted, and possess the requisite ability, the probability is, that the work, under the Divine blessing, will go on.
