Special Contributions to the College will be thankfully received by the Rev. ERNEST HAWKINS, Honorary Secretary of the Colonial Bishoprics' Committee, 79 Pall Mall, London. Donations may also be paid to the credit of the Bishop of Victoria, at Messrs. WILLIAMS, DEACON, and Co., Bankers, 20 Birchin Lane, London; which will be gratefully acknowledged, and duly accounted for.
Copies of Books, either in Theology or in General Literature, will be very acceptable for a College Library; which may be sent to the care of
THE SOCIETY FOR PROPAGATING THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS, 79 Pall Mall;
THE CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY, Salisbury Square;
DR. MACBRIDE, Principal of Magdalene Hall, Oxford; or,
REV. CHARLES CLAYTON, Fellow and Tutor of Caius College, Cambridge.
Although the College is the main object for which Contributions are solicited, yet there are two other objects naturally connected with the College as a portion of its machinery, for supporting each of which it is hoped that a sufficient sum of money will be raised. If any donor wishes to restrict his Contribution to any one of the three under-mentioned objects, such restriction will be rigidly adhered to in the appropriation of the sums so received:-
1. The College Fund.
2. A Translation Fund, for Printing suitable Books and Tracts in the Chinese language.
3. Employment of suitable Native Christian Agents as Colporteurs and Distributors of Christian Publications on the mainland of China; who may be expected to form the future materials and nucleus of a Native Ordained Ministry for propagating the Gospel in those parts of the Interior to which Europeans at present have no access.
The Bishop expresses his hope, in conclusion, that those pious and benevolent individuals who may aid him by their pecuniary Contributions, will also give him and his fellow-labourers the benefit of their prayers for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on his measures; that his labours may be greatly blessed among his British fellow-countrymen resident on the borders of the Chinese Empire; and that many souls from among that highly-civilized, but spiritually-benighted nation, may be gathered into the fold of the Saviour of mankind, and be numbered among "the general Assembly and Church of the First-born, which are written in heaven."

Communications addressed to the BISHOP OF VICTORIA, care of the Secretaries, Church Missionary House, Salisbury Square, London, will be duly forwarded.

Our readers are reminded, that the Island of Hong Kong, now the Diocese of the Bishop of Victoria,
was ceded to the British Government at the close of the late war with China; whilst the same treaty opened to European intercourse five ports, at various intervals, along the coast.
In the two northernmost of these,--Shanghai and Ningpo, the Church Missionary Society has planted a Mission; as these cities present the most promising field for direct Missionary efforts on the main land. The Island of Hong Kong itself, upwards of five hundred miles to the south of these ports, offers, on the other hand, the most palpable advantages for the employment of other agencies, no less indispensable to the Christianization of China. Its proximity to the great provincial capital of Canton, its being a British possession, and above all, the seat of an English Bishopric, make it unquestionably the fittest locality for the Missionary plans, to which attention is directed.
