standing, bu: IN a very dilapidaied con-
dition. What adds TO the rarity of an
accident of this character to- a frame
building, Is the fact that it had been
very recently erected. IL had given
no indications of its frailty, and this ca
tastrophc was consequently entirely
unexpected. Divine service. indeed
had been held in the church on the
previous evening. and the Sabbath on
which IT fell had been appointed for a
sacramcntal occasion. The weather
was extremely Indictment, which might
have prevented the assemblage of large
congregation, even had service been
held on that day. But Imagination

limb which would have been the con-
sequence OF this unfortunate event. had

worshiping within the walls OF the
church. Providentially, no person was
injured, though VIC understand that the
sexton, colourcd man, made narrow
escape, having left the house, which
he had been putting in order for the
day but few moments before the oc-
currence OF the accident.

There is as yet no prospect Of better times
The determination of the administration TO stick
tothe course which has been adopted, seems TO
have increased the general alarm and consterna-
ton. Many of the political friends of the Presi.
den, believed that it was in their power TO pene-
trate through the influence of his evil counsellors
to exhibit the deplorable condition of the coun-
Try, and induce the application of proper RENE
dy; but late developments carry the assurance,
that considerations Of the distress of the people
are not to thwart the selfish views of those who
bold power.
There is one consolation, and but one, and that
has been before alluded to. There is point of
suffering beyond which it is impossible to go, and
from appearances this point is not far ahead
The people have suffered-they must suffer more,
and when the acme of endurance is attained,
they viii rise in their might and crush their OPP
pressors.
