Recent Entelligence. ARRACAN. A letter from Ramree, dated Oct. 23, states that Mr. Kincaid had recently experienced an attack of cholera, at Akyab. He had, however, nearly recovered, and was daily expected at Ramree, in the hope of receiving benefit from a change of residence for a short time. The cholera had also broken out at Ramree, but the missionaries were all in good health at the above mentioned date.

A'SA'M. Intelligence from this mission states that Mr. Brown, who had been to Calcutta, for the purpose of accompanying his family on their return, was on his way back to Jaipur. We regret to learn that the object of their visit to Calcutta, the benefit of their little son's health, was but partially attained. Though somewhat improved, the prospect of his speedy recovery was discouraging.

TAVOY. A letter from Mr. Hancock, dated Sept. 15, 1810, gives information of his expected return to this country, on account of the continued ill health of Mrs. H. He was, at that date, at Maulmain, making arrangements for his passage, and is now, probably, on his homeward voyage.

MINUTES OF THE TENTH TRIENNIAL MEETING.

Convention met in the meeting-house of the 1st Baptist Church in Baltimore, Maryland, on Wednesday, April 28, 1841, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Brother Philip Montague, of Virginia, by request of the President of the last Convention, offered prayer.

The President, by request of the pastor of the church, welcomed the brethren to their place of worship and their homes, with cordial and fraternal love.

Credentials of delegates were then received, and engrossed for a committee of elections, to be hereafter appointed.

The Convention proceeded to the choice of officers.

Brethren James C. Crane, of Richmond, George W. Norris, of Baltimore, and Garrett N. Bleecker, of New York, were appointed tellers. Voted to elect the President of the Convention, and the Secretary and Assistant Secretary, on one ballot. The Rev. S. H. Cone stated that having been honored for nine years past with the appointment of President of the Convention, he desired, for weighty and important reasons, to decline a re-election.

The following were elected officers of the Convention.

WILLIAM B. JOHNSON, President.

RUFUS BABCOCK, JR., Secretary.

JAMES B. TAYLOR, Assistant Secretary.

On taking the chair, the President addressed the Convention, adverting to the distinguished character and services of those who had preceded him in that office, and expressing a deep sense of the responsibilities which it imposed.

Resolved, That brethren H. Lincoln, Eli Ball, G. S. Webb, J. J. Finch, and John R. Ludlow, be a committee to examine the credentials of the delegates to this Convention, and report.
