CHINESE MISSION TO THE HEATHEN IN VICTORIA. AT a numerous and influential meeting of the Chinese residents in Melbourne, it was resolved, in view of the deplorable paganism which, prevails, to establish a mission in Victoria to bring its benighted inhabitants to a knowledge of Confucius, and of the pure morality which he taught. Careful inquiries and prolonged observation have convinced the promoters of this pious movement that the population of this Colony are sunk in the grossest idolatry, and that they worship medals of gold and silver, stamped with the portrait of the reigning sovereign. Certain temples called banks are erected as the shrines of these pocket deities ; and so abject is the condition of thousands of idolaters, that they not only adore these gods of gold and silver, but they also worship those human beings who possess the largest collection of them. Grateful for the protection they enjoy under the laws of Victoria, and desirous also of reciprocating the zealous efforts of the British missionaries in China, the Chinese residents in Melbourne propose to send English-speaking and highlyeducated Mandarins into the metropolis and country towns of Victoria, with a view to wean their inhabitants, if possible, from,the degrading worship of the god who is understood to bear the name of Mammon, and to be the father of the little gods. One of our saored books, th« ‘ Ming Sum Paou Keen," tells us, “Contentment furnishes constant joy. Much covetousness, constant grief. To the contented, even poverty is joy. To the discontented, even wealth is a vexation.” Now, we perceive that among the idolaters and pagans calling themselves Christians, there is much covetousness and no contentment. Therefore we desire, as fellow-beings created by the same Power, to bring our Victorian brethren to a knowledge, of the truth as it is in Confucius, otherwise Yu, and to convert them from the error of their ways.
