rislu s, as a day of humiliation on account of the coo
lera, early and extra seryices were performed in
ed
various churches and chapels, and the day was observe.
with more than ordinary solemnity thronghout to-
whole of those great northern districts of the me`,e
polis. The , most praiseworthy and ready acquierfla
on the part of the various tradesmen was manifes',e
every locality, and as soon as the wishes of the cie 4
le
were made public, large printed placards were to iv,
seen, on Friday and Saturday, posted in the AV /ccia-y,
dows, announcing, " That in consequence of Stl: nt he.
the 23d instant, being appointed as a day of elice'li-est•

ever sould be transacted;" and, in a great 1231112,Yeheits
stances, it was extended even to the shops of tee
and bakers. The efforts of the clergy, aided by
respectable inhabitants and the police authorities in
the
poor districts of Somers'-town, St. Pancras, and ry-
upper districts of Christ Church and St. Mary's, Ito
lebone, Tottenham-court-road, and all those Icca Leif
usually in!ested with costermongeree tb29
wares for sale on Sunday mornings, succeeded, o
_Ol
occasion, in removing those obstacles to the due dad
proper observance of the day. Before the bout e
pointed for Divine service, every vestige of busineseing

the dampness of the weather, people were seen 11°,"„Is
in every direction to the various•churches and cOr-of
of their locality. The Rev. Dr, sCue fleeter

that vast numbers were unable to obtain adauss';er
The subject chosen by the Rev. T. Dale was the e 0
of Daniel for the deliverence of the people of Isre-ea
and in the course of his eloquent discourse he expressee
his regret that the day of humiliation bad not been %to
a national instead of local procedure, but at the same
time urged the propriety of such a course being pursued
by every denomination of Christians, and expressed s
firm conviction that the prayers and humiliation whica
had been already offered up to the Almighty bad induce
His merciful interposition iu staying the pestilence, as
exhibited in the vast diminution in the numbers attacked
and taken off by the disease all over the kingdom, I'2
compared with what it was a week or ten days back'
The sacrament was also administered in most of the
churches, and collections made in behalf of the sick and
destitute poor.
