REVIVED IN TUE lIF AIL!' OF A CIVILISED AND
CHRISTIAN COUNTRY.

A letter from Lougborough, ie the NoUinewsnel
Review says, on Sunday last, a Wesleyan Methodist
preacher went to the village of Belton, hi Leicester-
shire, for the purpose of exhorting his fellow men to
behave the (impel, and seek. reconciliation with the
offended Majesty of Heaven and Earth, before they
ihool4l 1* called hence to appear before thtb tribe's'st
of the Lord J.•ua Ch.ist, the Judge of both quick
and deed. anon •after his intention became known,
the inhabitants began to collect in such numbers,
that it quickly tutime apparent no place (except the
Church) could by any means contain them. Choice
was therefore made of the broad street, contiguous
to t►e Church, and in sight of two public.housea.
Soon after the preacher had began, Satan and his
devoted emissaries began to rage; a gentleman dubbed
with the title of Esq. assisted by the publicans, en-
listed some lewd fellows of the baser sort, drowned
their reason by the decoction of John Barleycorn,
then got them to ring the bells in • most discordant
manner; titan making those bells that were hul.g on
purpose to call the people.to hear the words of
eternal life, the very instruments of drowning the
preacher's mice. In addition to this, others of this
hired rabble ascended the tower of the church, and
annoyed the people by throwing mortar and other
material.: the whole end*, a large assembly of
children playing and shouting in the church-yard, to
the very great grief and disgust of the wise, thought-
ful, and well cluspoceol part of the inhabitants.
