JOHN JACKSON, pastor of the Baptist church at Falmouth, being about to leave for India, special religious services were held on the 21st instant. The weather was very unfavourable throughout the day, still the attendance was good, and the preceding of a most interesting character. The Rev. W. MEAD of Truro, commenced the morning's meeting by reading the scriptures and prayer. Mr. UNDERHILL, one of the secretaries of the Baptist Missionary Society, then gave a lucid statement of the position Mr. Jackson is about to occupy in India, and a most graphic description of the city of Agra, in which he is about to reside. After this Mr. Jackson stated some particulars respecting his removal from his present sphere of labour for India, from which it appeared that though he does not go in the strictest sense as a missionary, yet he goes under the auspices of the missionary society, to take the oversight of the English Baptist Church in the city of Agra. Mr. Jackson then referred to the painful feelings he experienced in separating from friends with whom he had spent four of the happiest years of his life, and he bore testimony to the generosity, kindness, and efficiency of the deacons. The Rev. S. NICHOLSON, of Plymouth, next delivered an able discourse on ministerial work and responsibility in a foreign land. After a public tea in the new schoolroom, a meeting was held in the chapel, over which Mr. J. FREEMAN, of Plymouth, presided. Several interesting addresses were delivered by the gentlemen who took part in the morning services, and by the Rev. JOHN TROTTER, the sailors' missionary at Falmouth, who expressed deep regret at losing his honoured friend, and feelingly thanked Mr. Jackson for the many acts of kindness he had received from him. Towards the close of the proceedings, one of the deacons stated that it had been their intention to present a few books to the retiring pastor as a parting token of esteem and love; but as there had not been time to procure them, he presented a purse containing fifteen guineas, that Mr. Jackson might make his own selection in London. Mr. Jackson responded with much feeling, and these very interesting and deeply solemn services were terminated by a fervent prayer offered by the chairman.
