CHURCH IMrRovEMENrs--We notice that sew
eral of our City Churches have been undergoing
extensive repairs and alterations. We are glad
to notice these improvements, for they give ey-
dence of an increasing religious interest and pros
pcrity among us. Our attention has been called
particularly to extensive improvements which
have been made upon the Uniyorsalist Church in
Orchard street This Church is one Of the Oldest
and most influential Societies of that denomiua
ton in the State. We have not room to notice
the extensive repairs and improvements which
the edifce has undergone. That they do credit to
those who superintendent them and that they
were generally satisfactory to the Congregation
is indicated by the fact that the collection taken
up on the day the Church was reoPened together
with small subscription previously started,
amounted to eighteen hundred and thirty-four dol
lars-a sum nearly or quite sufficient to detray
the entire expense OF the repairs " are pleased
TO record such promptness on the part OF our rehg
Ous societies in meeting their pecunary liabilities,
and we predict for this society that prosperity
which its zeal and liberality deserves. The peWs
of this Church have been made very convenient
and comfortable. We told that few eligible
ones are vet to be rented. Those desiring pews
viii do well to make immediate application We
learn by advertisement that the Pastor, Rev. c.
