The religious aspects of the country are i'm
proving. Our Sabbaths are much better OBJ
served; not unfrequently, in the language Of
daily paper, "provokingy quiet" Sorrow is on
the heart of sin at this manifest improvement.
Not little hatred is exhibited to the influence
of this paper on the proper observance Of the
Lords day, and superstitious twattle" is ap-
piled to the unmstakable evidence furnished of
n blessing on true obedience to God. There is
scarcely successful Sabbath-breaking firm com
posed of Americans in this city, and what is
more, never has been for any length Of time.
If Gods providence ever set the mark of his
disapprobation on transgression, it has done it
in this city. Fires and failures mark the course
of crime, and the righteous, suffering, have felt
it just. The churches are well attended. The
missionaries lately arrived are already in the
field, casting in the seed which must produce
fruit. The Sabbath school Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in Sacramento, under the pastoral
care of Rev. r. Stratton, is perhaps the largest
on the Pacific coast ''from pole to pole" 1t al
ready numbers nincty-ninc scholars and teach
ers, besides a large Bible class, and is weekly
adding to its strength
Marysvlc cnlarges its borders steadily and
healthfully. A Young Mems Missionary Society,
auxiliary to the California Young Mems Mis-
sionary Society, was formed in Marysyille, on
Sabbath night, the 18th instant, under promising
auspices The attendance of young men was
very large, and the attention given to an address
was close and earnest. Rev. j. w. Blier was
called to the chair, names taken, constitution
and bylaws read and adopted, and vigorous
society organized by the appointment of the re-
quisite officers, whose names | am not able ut
this moment to recall. This society promises TO
extend throughout the State, and accomplish
great good for members and others
The obstacles which now oppose frequent CON
certed action will gradually, perhaps quickly,
give place to more settled condition of society,
of which the young men, who are now foremost
in every noble work, will constitute at once the
safety and the strength.
Rev. Mcssrs. d. Deal and j Kimberlain, A.
b., missionaries, arrived in the California, on
Thursday, in tolerable health. Brother Deal is
u brother of Rev. w. Grove Deal Nj. d., we'll
known i'll California. Brother Kinberlan, brother
in-law to Rev. William Taylor will take charge
of an institution Of learning - CHrisfiaA .id,o-

ARELlGIoUs REVOLUTION. S.-ln Fiumarck which
is the remotest northern region of Norway, almost
lost in Arctic SHOWS, revolution is now raging
which, although purely religious, is attended
with all the disastrous circumstances of political
troubles. The inhabitants of this dcsoatc region,
persuaded by missionaries of some sect whose
tenets have not transprcd, have repudiatcd Chris
tianity, and especially the seventh commandment,
banished the priests, and now adopt the doctrines
of the missionaries, who profess to have received
them directly from Heaven.
The Bishop of Drontheim in whose diocese
Finmarck is situated, Immediately upon receipt
of the intelligence despatched two of his clergy
to the scene of excitement, who were instructed
to show the inhabitants into what errors they
had fallen. These gentlemen arrived, and found
that the report was less startling than the actua
state of things. Universal detection rcigned ii

were deserted, and the pastors driven away. In
! the streets and in the houses, men, women and
children lay upon the ground, with their gar
mcnts torn, their heads strcwn with ashes, and
bitterly lamenting that until then they had lived
in false faith ignoring the true God, and merit
ing eternal suffering The ccclcsiastics despatched
by the Bishop appriscd him that the fanaticism
was so obstinate and the confusion so profound
and universal, that they saw no other means of
preserving the peace of the country and saving
the inhabitants from their own fury than the
Intervention of the military power. In consc-
quence Of these representations, the Governor of
Drontheim has despatched high officer of po-
lice and an armed force to Fmmarck The re-
suit of the movement is not yet known.-1mcr.
