To tie Editor of the Dispatch:
We have no change to report in our
market since the date Of our last circu-
lar.
The business Of the month was Of
rather a retail character. though making
mp fair total upon the whole at prices
in conformity with our quotations.
There was some inquiry for Virginia
bright leaf; but little of this kind is to
be found in the market, while it seems
likely that advancing prices for the
grade most salablc here may put it
out of the reach Of shippers.
Virginia dark strips are in moderate
compass. but are held at prices beyond
the present views Of the trade.

Richard II. Thomas and Mis-, Mary ).
Thomas were the only ministers amongst
them. They held three very acceptable
services on Sunday and another yeStcr-

Mr.. j Rcndel Harris. Professor of Greek
in the Johns Hopkins University

In consequence Of the extreme in
clemency of the weather the congrcga-

roughly imbued with the subject. and so
deeply, intensely earnest As to at once
impress ali who hear her that she knows
and feels whereof she speaks. She
uses many and apt illustrations, some
times taken from incidents of the Bible,
often from scenes in everyday life, and
always with effect. II is a real treat
to hear her. On this occasion her ap-
peals. often eloquent, were delivered
with great power and force, especially
when she spoke of the danger Of putting

in speaking of Christ'S birth she said
there was no room for Him in the inn,
