From ths1sarlEord Press, |,

There is a growing interest upon religious sui.- jprts now!in R6s city. The daily prayer mee,in.s s are all fully attended. To show, how suscrp,ih a the human ,part is 10 religious impressions at ii present ,inSe. it is related that on Tuesday noon, whe{ {,sthe hour for the meeting of the Pearl Street Chutch had expired, the Rev. MT. Bead. pointed to the c.'ck and said-'.Anotster hour l., < gone how haSe we improved il ! W hat account shall we he ableS to render to- God for 2" Tn. meeting was disiibissed, aud MT. Bradle had be, q, home but few nfoments when lady called sni entering the room excldined--" What shaI! d.. to be saved !" apd fell prostrate upon the floor - The question Mir. Beade asked concerning ,l,s improvement of the time spent at the meeting. may tdaye fallen upon her ears many times, but It neever had presented itself to her mind as it dld tIen.
 Where was young man present at one of iia I 5 o'clock meetings few weeks ago. A friend cf his asked if he ever thought upon religious sul- jects. All his life, he said. He refused io go home with this friend and spend an hour in prayer. He set himself against all the urgent solicitations of this friend, and would not even attend the meet ing. It was learned that he had gone to New York. He was heard from as an attendant at tho theaters, and as plungng into dissipation morS than ever. He was led to this, it was believr,l, in order to drowRihe whisprrngs Of conscienrr.
 At one of the o'clock evening meetings short tina since, to the surprise and joy of his friend. ls young man came Tn un; ittnd,d and unsolicited. When opportunty offered. he arose and add1sss-,i the meeting. He said he was desrous of living better life. and to throw himself upon the mercy of his Saviour, and repeated these lines from one of the most beautiful hymns in the language

The Weeks Work in Congress.
Monday, March B,


 SENATE Tho proceedings of to-day were in- tensely exciting. The Kansas debate was con- iinued ny Messrs. Stuart, Bayard and Broderisk They occupied the session nnil the recess. On ths re.assembling of tho Senate at ' o'clock, a large crowd including both sexes, had coll. cted for the purpose of seeing and hearing Mir Doug. las. who delivered an anti Lecompton speech. de- lining his position, and 'denoaneing that of the President. The rush was sn great that during it's delivery the reporters for the Associated Press were utterly unable to hold any communication with the telegraph operators. One lady fainted, . hich added to the excitement.
 The correspondent of the Post characterzes the speech, which was made in spite qf Mir. Douglas illness, as " a triumphant effort" The occasion was one of rare interest. -.... !
 A, twenty minutes to seven, Judge Douglas entered the chamber, and was welcomed with en. thusixstic applause from the galleries and the floor. Never before was such reception given ts man in the Senate of the Un,ed States who was about to stand in his place and hurl defiance al the slave power.
 His closing was truly eloquent, in which h. said that the threat of retirement had no terror r him that he preferred private life with honor aad selfresprct, and independence to public life with servility and ignominieus adhesi on to a gi ganiic fraud.
 NIT. Toembs was exceedingly wounded, and at tempted reply, hut exhibited so much temper and coarssness that he was promptly rsbnked by Mr. Stuart of Michigan. who characterized hi. Language as fit only for a bar-room.
