months Of the last year there has been manifested by
the tar, on board the United States receiving.ship
Moth Carolina an unusual interest in the subject Of
religion 1t is be eved that about two hundred have
been converted. BY drafting men they needed
for various ships this interest has spread into several
distant squadrons. Thus we hear Of daily meetings
for prayer and religious conference board ships 10
the Wes, Indies or the coasts Of Brazil and in the
Mediterranean. The frst lieutenant Of the Wabash,
Com. Lsvelettes flag ship conducts the meetings
board that ship, there being seventy or more con-
verted men in the ships company. Within fev
months about forty Of the men on board the North
Carolina have been received into the Mariners Church
in Madison street, of which the Rev. {. r. Jones is
pstor he receiving on board the ship twenty two on
single occasion. On Sunday last twelve more sailors
baptized at the Navy Yard and addedto the First

administered in the alp opposite the North Carolina,
where the large ships company near eight hunfred
