Greece.--The Rev. Jonas King, formerly a missionary in Palestine, is about to sail for Greece, to carry the pure gospel of Christ to that long afflicted people. We understand Mr. K. goes out under the patronage of several individuals of New-York.----It is of immense importance that while the Greeks appear to be about forming their civil institutions, their feelings concerning religion and its institutions should be correct. The statements of Mr. King, on Thursday evening, respecting his former mission, the condition of Palestine, the obstacles to missionary operations, and also the facilities afforded for such operations, there, were listened to with the deepest interest. We believe the impression was universal, that the cause of missions is not only the cause of God, but it is the most noble exhibition of the spirit of Christianity.
