CITY INTELLIGENCE.

J and all Of them appear to be occupied by thosc
who have repaired thther for the spiritual eX.
erCScs Of the meeting. The religious services
are under the care Of Rev. 7. II. w. Monroe
and the discipline OF the meeting is under the
> the energetic control Of Samuel Worthington
., Esq The services on Saturday were of an in
erestng and profitable character. On Sunday
the cars and other vehicles brought to the
ground thousands OF persons from this city and
: surrounding ncighhoIhood; so dense was the
crowd that the large space formed by the circle
i. of the tents, was one mass Of human beings
who to their great praise, conducted them
selves, during Divine service, with remarkable
! pyoprlety. The exercises atthc stand were com
} menced at S o'clock, and at 3 o'clock, and
appeared to be tintcrest and Of pleasure to the
congregations generally. The last service was
interrupted by the appearance of storm, but
: notwithstanding its threatening aspect, it passed
over to spend its treasure elsewhere yet about
5 o'clock, P. NJ, the heavens were overcast and
Il heavy rain was poured upon the cncampment
but the people were generally comfortably pro-
vided for, and the religious exercises were con-
Quoted in tent. While good order and de-
corum almost universally prevailed upon the
encampment, yet at some neighboring taverns
and GROCERIES we learn there was considerable
misbehavor and disorder on the part Of those
who had no interest or concern in the meeting,
and Tor whose improprieties the encampment Is
not chargeable, as they occurred in and about
i the premises of those who furnished intoXicat-
ing drinks. We regret to learn that places for
the sale of ardent spirits were suddenly multi
piled at the approach of the Camp Meeting, and
complaints were altered deep and loud against
some landlords who, from their name and po-
slion in society, ought TO be conservators of
public morals, but who for paltry compensa =
ton rented their premises for this purpose for
\ the occasion, without reference to the earnest
entreates to the contrary of those who had
charge of the meeting Verify ''the love o.! mo-
ney is the root of all evil"
.NnYo1c Escape from ho,rM death. A small
colored boy engaged as chimney sweep, came
! near being burned to death while ascending a
chimney in Madison street, Old Town, yester-
day morning. He was employed by MIR. Long
sweepmaster Of that district who had given
the necessary orders TO the persons living in
the house to have the fire put out before the
boy attempted the ascent of the chimney, but
/ by the most gross and culpable negligence, sut-
/ fcent ofthe tirery element was left to ignite to
his dress. He had assembled but a short dis
lance when he discovered that his clothes were
on fire, and it was with great difficulty that he
was gotten out OF the tiue in time to save his
life. No blame can be attached to Mr.. Long,
who gave the usual directions, and as matter
of course, expected that they would be COM
piled with by the inmates of the house. We
trust that this will be n warning to all persons
tor the future to see that no fire is left on the
hearth previous to the ascent of the 'pooT little
sweep"
To .4lpear al Court. Clara Phillips, for as
saultng and beating Ann Bridget, was yester-
