 l lCorrespondence of the Church Journal1 l LITcHFIELD CONN, July 12, 1858. Messrs Editors Last week was ouite an interesting time with us LitehfeIdians in the Church. In the first place, on Wednesday morning, we had wedding in church Mir. John V. Lewis, of Brooklyn, N. Y, being the bridegroom, and Miss Amelia G Hempsted. Of Litchfeld, the bride and the Rev. J. NJ. Wiley. late Rector of S. Micheaps and the Rev. William H. Lewis D. D., father of the bridegroom, officiating at the altar. Every thing, l believe, passed off in as happy man. ner as need be desired
 In the second place, on Friday the 9th, we had the Rt Rev the Assistant Bishop of the Diocese with us; and need not tell you that light and joy and pleasantness seldom fail to go in company with Bishop Williams In the afternoon and evening, he held confirmation in 5. Faups church, Bantam Falls, and in Trinity chnrch, Milton the former being some three and half, the latter some five miles from Ltclfeld. In s. Pauls. 12 were confirmed, 3 of them in private in Trinity These two chur- ches were started as chapes ofease to St. MicheaPs, Litclfcld, but-have now reached the state of independent parishes, or nearly SO. the Rev. John Robinson Williams, Deacon, gracuate Of the Berkeley Divinity School, has been the minister of s. Paups for the past year, and of Trinity since last April The work has prospered eminentIy in his hands he has approved himself faithful and prudent pastor, close and diligent student, and so has well earned the higher degree of Presbyter. Accordingly, on Saturday morning, in S. MicheaFs Litchfeld, he was ordained to the Priesthood by, the Assistant Bishop of the Diocese. Among the twelve clergymen pres ent were the Rev. J. M Wiley late Rector of $. Michears, the Rev. Dr. Clark, of Watcr- bury, the Rev. Dr. Lewis, of Brooklyn, N. Y, and present Rector of $. Micheal's The ser mon was preached by Mr. Wiley, from the text, Timothy1v. l6: "Take heed unto thy self, and unto the doctrine continue in them :: for in doing this thou shalt both save thysef, and them that hear thee." The ordination ser vices were conducted throughout with the ut most slnoothness and solemnity I know not how they may have affected others, but to me they never seemed SD grand and impressive as on this occasion. Ptrhaps l ought to have stated before, that at both of the conGrmations on Fri day, the Bishop preached, once with notes and once without but on both occasions in a very noble and effective manner setting forth the lines of sound doctrine and right practice in way not to be mistaken His extcmporary discourse may be justly noted as a model in easy delivery and lucid order he everywhere had the right words, and in the right places :; while his superb voice and utterance drove the matter home to the right spot. Something too much of this"
 Dear Journal, were you ever in the ancient and famous town of Litchfeld? If not, then let me advise you to use all convenient harte, and come. You will find some of the whole somest air you ever breathed, some of the most delectabe scenery your eye ever drank in, and set of people as intelligent and genial as you or or any of us deserve to know. Be- sides the Litchfeidians themselves, we have now liberal sprlnkling of spirits from New fork and elsewhere, who have come here for health and comfort and refrcshment during the Summer.
 Besides the attractions of the place and the people, there are two Institutions here, which l must not fail to mention. The first is the Woicott Institute, of which the Rev. D. G. Wright is Rector It is a school for putting young gentlemen in preparation either for Col
 ege or for the service of life And it is thoroughgoing Church Institution all the Trustees are members of the Church all of them but one are communicants the two Wardens of s. MicheaPs being among them :: the Rector is sound and true Church-man throughout, and is all alive with the spirit of the Church /; therewithal, he has approved himself a first rate teacher and dispparian the members of the school attend church reg ularly under his personal charge and all who come from abroad are also required to be mem- bers of his family, were the order of the Church is fully domesticated and last, not least, a better behaved set of young gentlemen whether in church, or at the school, or in the streets, l have never seen. To find such col lection of well-mannered boys and the general rudeness and rowdyism which disfgure our American juvenility, is cheering indeed.
 Next. l must mention the Gould Seminary school for young ladies which, though it has been but short time under the present management, and though great ly reduced when it Came into the present hands, is be- ginning to experience good measure of thrift, though not so much as it deserves Mrs. Cod wise, who is both Matron of the establish ment and Principal of the Schocl, is a lady of the first class kindly and dignifed in her manners, strict in her order and discinpline earnest and diligent in her work The School l think, cannot fail to grow strong in the pub lie confidence in proportion as the public come to know more of the character of its head. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-Now that a second failure is announced, we are informed that Professor Morse though believing that cable may be laid and worked, has had no faith
 in the plan of proceeding adopted by the com pany, and that it was for his differences with the managersthat he was left out of the board of direction at the last election. He believes the cable used is much too heavy, and that one of half its weight or less, may be successfully laid. The New York Evening Post is the me- dum of other suggestions for renewed exper-
 ment :-
