The Rev. Joseph Clarke preached his farewelisermon en
Sunday week, at Sephton Church, previously to entering upon
his appointment as incumbent of St. Luke's, Great Crosby.
On Sunday week, the Rev. William Anderson O'Con-
nor preached a farewell sermon at St. Luke's, Great Crosby.
His labours in that place have been brief, but those labours
have been characterised by so much discretion, so much humi-
lity and Christian zeal, that the congregation, especially the
poor, deeply regret his removal.
El Tribuno, of Carthagena, publishes with expressions of
high satisfaction an event which it declares will be memorable
in the history of that city. On the 12th of Aug. last, public
worship was celebrated for the first time in New Granada ac-
cording to the Anglican ritual, accompanied with the public
delivery of a discourse by a clergyman• of the Reformed faith.
The preacher was the Rev. Ramon Monsalvatage, and the
audience "partly Protestant and partly Catholic."
THE REV. W. CURLING, minister of St. Saviour's, South-
wark, preached in the open air on Sunday, in Pepper-street,
Southwark, a locality of the lowest description, and densely
populated. The rev. gentleman stood near the house in which a
woman had lived who was killed a few days ago, and took his
text from Ezekiel xxxiii. 11—" As I live, saith the Lord God,
I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the
wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye, from
your evil ways, for why will ye die ?" He was attentively
listened to by many hundreds of the inhabitants ; and al-
though the streets and windows were densely crowded, and
every available situation within sight oocupiecl,. not the
slightest interruption took place.
