Ingle Street Church, preached to a large
congregation at Central Market House. We

zens are aware of the meeting of the General

Church in this city, next Thursday. 1t will

The General Assembly of the Old School
Presbyterian Church meet in indianapolis
on the same day. II is expected to be
largely attended, as questions will probably
arise of much interest and importance to
that branch of the church.
The General Assembly of the New School
Presbyterian Church convenes also on Thurs
day, in the city of Wilmington, Delaware.
As this church, two years ago, quietly dis
posed of the distracting question of slavery,

come before it will be principally of a de-
nominational character.

in progress in England, by the late London
papers. Rev Mr.. Finney, the celebrated
American revivalist is laboring with much
success in some of the English churches
Bat the work is said to be more general and
thorough in Wales. letter from South
Wales to clergyman in this country says
~ am sure you will be delighted to hear
that a great awakening is now taking place
IN the counties Of Cardigan and Carmarthen,
in South Wales. 1t has been going for
the last four months; 1000 people have
embraced religion in Cardiganshire alone );
the work-day and Sabbath-day services are
crowded; many notorious gray-headed sim
ners have already been converted, and
deep and genuine work of grace is going on.
There is no enthusiasm, but profound,
silent and awfully solemn impression pre-
walls everywhere. The Calylnistic Welsh)
minister of the town, states that the work
began with the exhortations and prayers of
one Of the Wesleyan Welsh local preachers,
who had Just returned from the United
States of America. After some time he was
assisted in holding daily meetings for prayer
by one of the Welsh Calvinistic ministers.
The usual services were superseded by these
prayer meeting. The people became so
much affected as to suspend business, shut
up their shops, and assemble in their places
of worship. Gracious yiSitations of the
Holy Spirit were granted. Thousands arc

whistle Methodists, in the county of Cardi-
gan. Other religious bodies have also been
greatly strengthened.

Scotland also, and deeper religious feeling
prevails there, than has been known foI
wears. The influences of this awakening j:
in many instances directly tracesble to .ho
American revival.
