CENTENARY OF METHODIsM

Friday next. the 25th inst. is to be observed
throughout the world, by The Methodist con-
ncxon. as a day of thanksgiving and praise to
God for the great blessings conferred upon man
through the ins,rumentality Of JoBN WESLEY.
1t is now Just one hundred years since that de-
voted man organised his first society, and com
menced an exposition of their doctrines. which.
tor that esenttul period. has been so wonderful
ly owned and blessed by the great head of the
church-not only in England and the United
States. hut also throughout the Christian. and
in parts of the heather world. Indeed. so sig
nal has been its success towards the conversion
Of the word, even in the hands of humble men,
that no unprejudiced mind will deny it has ever
been supported by the power aud favor Of God.
The anniversary ofthe Centenary in England
and in the United States is most suspicious. as
relates TO the future progress of Methodism.-
The means so literally placed within its con-
troll. managed with prudence which has ever
characterized the sect, cannot fail of increasing
still more wonderfully its future success. In
England more than a million of dollars has al
ready, and much more will still be raised. as
thank offering TO God. and wholly devoted TO
the cause of education Of pous youth for the
ministry. for superanua,ed preachers. their Wild
ows aud orphans, for missions and other benev-
olent and charitable purposes. In our own
country. Judging from the liberaliiy manifested
IN New York Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Boston.
Providence, and wherever the subject has been
ae'ated' huadreds Of tlousasds may also be ex-
pected With this enormous sum, also jude
iously applied to the same benevolent purposes,
aided by the prayers of the seren hundred and
.yfy u'oasa'd, that compose the church in the
United Sts'es, II actuated by the same spirit
and zeal for the hundred years to come, who
will predict what Wesleyan Methodism shall
be at the commencement, Of third century

GIVING 1T UP.-The Philadelphia Evening
Star few days since had a very sensible ar
tIcle upon the condition TO which the opposit.
ion party is now reduced, aud upon the policy
which they are called upon 10 pursue. The
following extract shews its tenor:

y proclaimed our impression of the conseuuen-
ces which would result from the errors OF the
Wings. The rejection Of General Harrison.
and the unqualified defence of the Banking
System, we felt conviction as strong and ire
sstibe as that Of our own existence. would
destroy the Wing party. We risk this repu.
tauon now upon the averment, that the party.
Tor all practical purposes IS defunct. The on
" course left for it is 10 disband. By wagng
war longer with the adheren,s Of Mr.. Van

The Star IN consequence advises its friends
10 JOIN the administration TO renew the Mon
roe, "era Of good feeling" and TO moderate as
far as possible the extreme views which it as
cribes to portion of the Democracy, advising
that then Il" The Banking System can be ju-
reformed. The country will not be

GTThe New York Banks continue firm in
their resolution 10 redeem their promises and
uphold their integrity. The Steamship Liver
pool sailed on Saturday. and carried out but a
small amount of specie, the banks having sold
bills on England. drawn on an extended credit
granted TO them by the agent ofthe Bsring's in
this country. There is now no doubt that they
will be able to weather the storm. and shame

The FEVER AT THE SoUTB. The Charles
ton Mercury ofthe 6th. says that the official an.
nunciaton Of the Board Of Health. and the Bill,
of Mortality. show that but single death of
Strangers Fever. and but fourteen deaths in all.
occurred during the week ending on the 18th
instant. Connected With the GOODNESS of the
weather, it regards this as decisive indication
OF the restoration of the health of the CITY, and
therefore feels no scrupe in inviting the return
Of strangers.
The Gazette. published at Opelousas, saws.
that the fever is on the decline in that place
Few cases had occurred to the 5th instant. The
number Of interments in town and the imme
date vicinity. for the preceding fortnight. were
estimated at twenty five.
The fever continued to prevail at New Or
leans as late as the llth The New Orleans
Bee of that date says, that it has no great change
to record in the condition Of the city during the
past week. The number Of interments was
very near the same as for the week ending on
'he 24ih ult., viz. ninety five. difference of
one 10 favor OF the last week. The deaths by
yellow lever were thirty-nine--a decrease of
three only. From this it will be seen that the
epidemic still fingers in the city, rendering the
return OF non-residenls hazardous.

smaller denominations of CON. in such sums az
VIII relieve the community from the inconven-
renee which the issue of fractional bills is in

transactions. TO hold IN view an early resump-
ton OF specie payments, and to do nothing
which shall peril so desirable an event.

paper and TO preserve an uniformity 10 its value.
1t Is recommended that such an arrangement
be entered into by the banks generally. as will
provide for the reception, by each bank, of its
bills from other banks, weekly or oftener. and

the following article from the Philadelphia
World federal paper. The name of Henry
