of still greater barbarity on the part of Mr. Hodge. '
Amon
other examples, the witness Pareen Georges swore that he had
occasioned the death of his cook, named Margaret, by pouring
boiling water down her throat.
The Jury, after deliberation, brought in a verdict of, Guilty.
There were six other indictments on similar charges against the
prisoner.
From the time of his condemnation to that of his execution
this unhappy man was attended at suitable hours in each day 141
a Clergyman, whose pious labours brought him, we believe, to
sincere contrition, and, when not buoyed up by the vain hope
of a respite, which he indulged to the last, to a christian resig.
nation to his fate, On the evening preceding Ms execution, he
took leave of his three young children, which so overpowered
him, as to make it a matter of doubt if he would ever be re-
stored to tranquillity. In the morning, however, he was calm,
and acquired still greater fortitude by receiving the sacrament.
He walked with firmness to the place of execution, addressed
several persons by name in the surrounding crowd, forgave Ms
enemies, and was launched into eternity.—Thousands of per.
sons witnessed the awful spectacle, some of whom rather Judi.
cently expressed exultation.

OPENING OF lIIS NEW CHAPEL.
Providence has now rectified the chapel first dedicated to its
protection. Mr.-Huntington's original meeting-house having
been destroyed by fire, about twelve months ago, every exertion
was immediately made to repair the loss; and another meeting-
house, infinitely surpassing the original edifice, whether in point
of situation oras to effect, is pow built, with the following super-
sctiptioli on its front.

WILLIAM HUNTINGTON •
. ANN° 1811. •
.4e Itindlng.nothing could be done with the earth-holders," says
Mr.. Huntington, speaking of the chapel he first built, turned
my eyes anotheXway, and determined to build my stories in the
heaven, Atitos ix. 6; where I should find more room and less
rent; and to this my friends agreed ; namely, to raise the chapel
see story higher, and jo carry a flight of galleries all round it."
No such difficulty has Impeded hint now. Having found " the
earth-holders" of Gray's-Inn Lane more practicable than those
of Little.Tichfield Street, he has now had no occasion " to build
stories in the he'aveli," but, finding room more than enough, Mr.
Huntington has nosobailt, " erected" says its tablet, a very spa-
cious, as Well as handsome, chapel; " the heat of" which, " in
times of service," is nooiiie.ly " to be almost unbearable," and
which, therefore,4 will ndt coon be " thought necessary to en-
large." • Nothing remains of the old meeting-house but the
hangings to the pulpit, and the cushion.. Nothing if its name
snay be excepted. " The name that I gave to the chapel," ob—
serves Mr. Huntington concerning the former, i‘ has offended
Many. However, since it was named, I have seen a place called
Providence Court, (Providence. Place is now erecting,) and a
place ailed Trinity Chapel, where the Trinity is little known I
believe : —this was not .the case," he adds, " at the naming of
Prtividetie Chapel." Here let Mr. Huntington have his due.
Surelyrarpen ter's House of God' carries more of vaunting with
it than Providence Chapel.'

. -

Sunday, the 23d ult., being fixed upon for religiously opening
the new Providence Chapel, numbers of persons began to repair
thither long before the tine of service ; although the opening
w►as sudden, before the building was complete, and notwith-
standing that the sabhath,eventually determined upon for this
important proceeding was by no means generally known amongst
Mr. Huntington's hearers. He preached twice. For his morn-
ing text he chose—The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, sgith
the Lord of hosts; and for his evening text, the connected words—
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that If theformer,
with the Lord of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saint
the Lord of hosts. These texts were chosen from the prophet
Maggal, hW second chapter, verses eight and nine.
Mr Huntington appears to have acquired strength from the
repose in which he has for some time been enabled to Indulge ;
while his oratorical inactivity has not In the least relaxed those
powers which peculiarly distinguished him. He was quite him •
selt, and pleased those hearers who knew him. It was as clear,
nevertheless, that he disappointed some who heard him. Many
of these mistakingly anticipated a temporal application of his
subject. Those who are not aware of this preacher's habits of
apirittialislng his texts upon all occasions, frequently to ar cant,
vagarrce, expected that " die silver and the gold," spoken of by
Haggai, wo,tki have been by Mr. Huntington appropriated to
