Great Revival in New York and
BROOKLYN.

For the part twenty-five years, says the Er-
press, such religious revival as that which il
now progressing has not taken place in New
York and Brooklyn. Meeting houses are open
during the day and evening, and without ex-
ceptlon are thrOnsed by earnest attendants.
many of whom nightly profess 20 have received
visitation OF the Spirit, and TO have become
believers in the faith. Though this revival or.
iginated among the Methodsts, yet it i. by no
means confined to that denomination, for Ban
fists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, and IN
deed almost all the sccts are actively enoacpd
in the new effort to advance the cause to which
they are all allied, and the result is said TO be
lar more satisfactory than that which has at.
tended any similar effort made during the las,
quarter or halt century. Go where one NAV
In every class of society, (even in the haunts
OF VlllanY and crme)-and the revival will be
found to be tie universal subject of comment
AS near as can be learned, from two to three
hundred are converted every week, of which
number two-thlrds, if not more, become connec.
ted with the Methodist denominations The
number OF conversions may be greater than
tins; 1t certainly is not less. Their meeting
houses are kept open every evening in the
week, and In several cases the services have
been prolonged during the entire night, large

them that it was time to return to their respec-
tive homes. Prayer meetings are held in pri.

been engaged in which 10 hold meetings, and
the woytarer in passing through almost every
thoroughiare, Will hear at all hours of the eve.
nlng the singing and the voice Of prayers offered
for the goodsot those assembled together.
If fanylhing, the colofed population are moro
enthusiastic than their white brethren and the
number converted in their meeting houses is
SAID to be comparatively still greater than in
all others.
The whole thing is a pleasing phenomenon.
and an agreeable relief to the intense wordni-
ness OF metropolitan life. Stimulated, as it was,
by the wreck and ruin in the business world TO
wards the close OF the year,-it may be looked
upon as penltential recognition, not only that
God governs" but sort of sackcloth-and-
1she" acknowledgement that it is better to seek
The Lord" than To find riches"
There is nothing like misfortune, in this world,
for softening the hearts of men, hardened by
long career of worldly prosperity.

is a handsome and interesting volume. and is
spoken of as follows by the Editor of Godey's
Lady's Book:
The lamented author of the charming story
that gives its title to this attractive volume has
left behind her many listing and bsautitul

them all, there is not one, perhaps, more worlhy
OF her reputation than the affecting story of The
Lost Daughter We are not called upon. we
ure aware, TO repeat here all that able critics
have so often and truthfully said in praise of
the dramatic powers displayed in the writings
OF The late Mrs. Hentz-ot the ease, correct
ness, aud gracefulness OF her stye--of the puri.
ty or the strength of her moral principles-or
OF the applicability of her lessons and exam.
pies to the prudent regulation of the afars of
everyday life. Like her works, those high
opinions of the critics have become household
words among American readers. But there is
still room Tor the spread of the authoress' repu-
tallon, and for the extended influence of her
writings, which are SO we'll calculated to elevate
and enlIghten the minds of those who NAV not
yet have had the pleasure to peruse them. II is
due also 10 the worthy publisher, who keeps
these works before the public, that he should be
reTnuneraled for his labor and enterprise. Ex-
elusive OF "The Lost Daughter" this volume
contains no less than nine Ofthe auth0ress' most

to inquire whether MIR. B. in intima,ing thai
all the As were pckpockets, had intended to
include him; aud Mr.. b, thus interrogated.
cour'cou~ly replied that his remark hud been
mands IN purely parliamentary sense, and
'hat the A. before him was not one of the AS
whom he charged with picking pockets. MIR.
Y. rose to question of privilege to ask whether
IN striking him on the nose, and causing the

nal. 1t was evident, in short, that whatever
study members may have made of Hansard and

Ofcourse, so long as apologies are the order
OF the day on both sides, these personal expla-
nations are productive of no positive injury
Wheth' they constitute q negative wrong to

gress has been three months in session. What
law has been passed during that period! What
work done! What important question dis
cussed in statesmanllke and thorough man.

On looking over the reports of the proceed.
IngS, we find that three questions and three
only have engaged the attention of the two
branches of Congress. One is Kansas; the
next the arrest of Walker by Commodore Paul
ling; the third the Army Increase Bill. OF
these the second has never had any pructica.
consequence. All the speeches which have
been made on the arrest of Walker have been
Tor buncombe; no national benefit could result !
from any measure which could have been pro. |
posed III connection with that event. The bill |
To Increase the army is supposed to be doomed |
TO defeat; If ii is, all the time spent in discuss
ing it will have been lost. There remains ONLY |
the Kansas affair, which, if the two Houses can |

ances, at Fowler's Hall, for the past few

The Misses Webb are talented actresses,
and destined to become distinguished
Miss Ada possesses versatility of talent
very rarely exhibited after years Of study
and practice, and truly remarkable in one
of her age. She is not only skilful in the
representation of variety of characters,
but possesses powers of perception and
discrimination that enable her to play
those characters to the life. AS an evil
dcnce of the high esteem in which she is
held by those of our citizens who have
witnessed her admirable performance, a
Complimentary Concert was given to her,
last evening, in which, aided by the best
musical talent of our city, she displayed
her vocal powers to the admiration of
delighted audience. We hope the Misses
Webb will visit our city again, very soon,
when the weather and other circumstances
will be more propitious to a more general
welcome.

/ see that proclama-

row, on proposition to authorize an issue
of bonds for the improvement OF three
streets-three that were in the list before
voted upon. There is no limit fixed to
the proposed issue, and the voters are left
to guess at the amount Suppose it will
cost twenty thousand dollars to build those
streets, what amount of bonds must DO
issued? Taking sixty cents on the dollar
as the cash value of the bonds, it will re-
quire an issue of s28, 600 to raise $40, 900,
and the interest for thirty years will
amount to about $4,000, which is to be
added to the principal, making the sum Of
seventy eight thousand in all, or $58, 900
over and above the cash value of the i'm
provement. This is paying dear for the
