In districts sufficiently remote from the ex-

the character of the country much improved.
The physical condition was better. There

expresses the opinion that nevertheless
abounding sin has by no means Yielded to
tho supcr-abounding grace IN the agfeat
metropolis;" but that, on the contrary,
+ while,there are many instances of the most
radical reformation in the character and
/ habits of individuals, they. are but as strag-
g!ers from the grand army of the vicious
and depravcd whose ranks afford no sensi-
bic evidence of diminutionin numbers, and
whose offences have not assumed a less vio-
lent and bloody, form. In proof of this,
! the Courier makes up the following crilni-
nal record for the week:
