New .Mrqrfes.-A new sect OF believers mas
lately sprung up in Gareloch, Scotland. whose
faith and works are beginning TO attract the at
tention Of the learned as they have fof some time
excited the warmest feelings Of the ignorant -
About twelyemonth ago. volume was publish
ed. entitled. Peace in Believing. being the Let
ters and Memoirs Of Isabella Campbell, yong
person who died Of consumption. fhis volume
acquired great popularity AMONGST kindred
minds. both f.om the Interesting character of the
writer. and the natural eloquence OF her letters.
About the period Of the publication, brother
and sister Of the deceased were t.ken III OF the
complaint of which she died. The similarity d;
the circumstances, character and requirements
Of the two sisters, excited considerable interest
amongst those who considered themselves the
trae believers. Every Wort, the apparently dy-
ing sister spoke was listened to as Inspiration.
and she spoke with ferv0r and t!uency truly
wonderful. Miss Campbell was of the sect who
Law claim to direct inspiration. and beng listen
ed to wth such reyerential feelings. she probably
regarded what she polrcd frrth TO her adnnlnS
auditors with such facility, 40 in reality the out
pouring Of the spirit. Contrary TO all eXpecta..
ton, she some months ago began 10 recover, and
determined. in gratitude to Heaven, to devote
her life to the conversion Of the heather. 1T
was obviously necessary to the success OF her
work. that she should understand the heather
language The difficulty was overcome by a
new miracle, and Mary Campbell received the
aft of tongues, in which she became quite as fu-
ent as in her native speech. II is true. no one
who has yet listened to the voice OF her inspira-
ton can understand one word she utters when
she quits her mother tongue; out their faith Is
not shaken in the reality of the miracle which is
to be manifested. even to unbelievcfs, when Ma
rv visits the heather. Every time She opens
her mouth, the sounds she utters are different;
but this on y proves the greatness OF the miracle,
the language being those of many nations. The
fame o! Mary Campbell's inspiration. and the
divine influence, as it was called BY the true be-
levers. was felt by others OF the faithful. The
shape i in general took, was the miraculous cure
| Of disease. When the miracle did not work well,
il was always owing 10 want of faith in the sub
ject. An Inspired brother approached the bed
of his sister. who had been confined to it a long
time, and commanded her, in the name Of the
Lord Jesus, TO rise and walk. Her faith was
perfect; she arose and walked about her room,
and slept better that night than she had done a

Gle, out think he would at once remove all ira
ces of the complaint. Other similar miracles
have been performed, and some have failed for
want of faith The effect of the imagination in
the cure of many diseases is well known. Miss
Mary Campbel's miraculous tongues understood
by no ore, can be accounted for; but the real
miracle is, that men OF educaton--that members
