NEW CHuRcHEs.-Some of the passers-by have
been attracted by the appearance of rent in the
massive stone work OF Trinity Church, wondering
what could cause it One said the Church was
going to fall another said it was in danger whilst
few, who did not see il till Tuesday morning,
cribed it to the electric fluid Of the night previous
All these conectures groundless. On close ex-
animation the fissure alluded to, which is situated
at the top of the eastern front window, the rgh,
of and near its junction with the tower, is clearly
found to proceed from the sinking OF the tower to
greater extent, on account OF ITS MASSIVE and
| enormous weight, than the body of the Church.
These little flaws occur frequently, but seldom OF
never prove injurious.

From the energy and system with which this gen

Is likely to be finished with unusual celebrity.

The new Baptist Church, corner of Henry anf
,llver streets, comes on but slowly, owing to dli
ticulty of procuring materials. The foundation Il
not al laid yet Mr. Lucas is the bu !der.. It, d.
ensions are 80 by 72 eet but of the details of tn.
