The cost of the building, including ice of ground, was $27,000; and this entire sum, S the liberality of this people, aided by that of benevolent Christian friends, been secured. It is proper, hewever, to state that much of this has been the result of the indefatigable and perserving efforts of the paster, (Rey. E. C. Botsford,) who has not only thus labored to build a house for the wor- ship of God, but who is ever at work to build up & spiritual temple, made of living stones, to the praise and glory of the Most High.

THE REGULATIONS FOR LENT. ‘The following are the regulations for Lent, for the resent — “4 1, All the ‘ week days” of Lent, from Ash-Wed- nesday till Easter Sunday, are fast days of precept, - one meal, with the allowance of a moderate col- on. 2. The precept of fasting implies also that of ab- stinence use of flesh meat. But, by dispen- sation, the use of flesh meat is allowed in this diocese, at the principal meal on the Mondays, Tues- days and Th ys of Lent, from the first Sunday until Palm pry 3. The use of flesh meat is not allowed on Thurs- day next, after Ash-Wednesday. 4. The nee from meat on Palm Sun- day, which has hitherto been observed in this dio- cese, is, this year, dispensed with, so thut, on that day, the faithful may partake of animal food, as on any other day of the year on which abstinence from jee men is not commarded by some precept of the chureh. 5. Also, on the following Tuesday, althongh in Holy Week, the faithful are allowed, by dispensa- tion, to use flesh meat at the principal meal. It is to be remarked, however, that on the Tuesday of Holy Week the fast is to be observed as on any other “week day” of that solemn time. 6. The use of meat is not allowed on any day in the Holy Week—immediately preceding Easter Sun- day—excepting the two aforementioned ones. t is neither fast nor abstinence to be ob- served on Sunday or Lent. 8. It is not allowed to use fish with flesh meat at the same meal. 9. There is no prohibition to use eggs, butter or cheese, provided the rules of quantity prescribed by the fast be complied with. 10. The church excuses from the obligation of fasting (but not of abstinence from flesh meat, ex- cept in special cases of sickness or the like) the fol- lowing ¢ 8 of persons:—First, the infirm; second, those whose duties are of an exhausting or laborious character; third, persons who are only attain- ing their growth; fourth, women in pregnancy or creed infants; fifth, those who are enfeebled’ by old age. But these persons should be persuaded on just grounds that they are entitled to exemption from the precept—so that their not observing it may give no offence to their own conscience, nor scant wo their neighbour. For this purpose, if they have any doubt, they will do well to consult their spiritual director or their physician. They should, however, cherish the exterior spirit of this mn season the same as if they were able to comply with the exte- rior observance of fasting and mortification, spirit of sorrow and compunction for sin, a spirit of prayer and recollection. This is the duty of all, and with- out this the fast itself would be rejected by God. The public religions exercises during Lent, in the churches of the city, to commence each evening at 7 o'clock, will be:— On Monday, in the Church of the Nativity. On Tuesday, in St. James’, St. Joseph's, St. Vin- cent de Paul's (French), and Holy Cross. On Wednesday, in St. Peter's, Most Holy Re- | deemer’s (German), St. Francis Assissium, St. | Francis Xavier's, St. Aune’s, and Annunciation, Manhattanville, Oh Thursday, in the Cathedral, St. Andrew's, St. Stephen's, St. Columba’s; St. Bridget’s, and St. Alphonsus’.

Messrs. Leonidas Roser and Geo. W. Carter, | of the Methodist church, addressed the people of county, Va., last week on the ques- tions that divide that chnreh in the United States, and in defence of the Southern church. Mr. nine hours and Mr.C.(our and a half. Theira@peec are said to have been characterized by great ability and eloquence. Rev. B. H. Nadal defended the Northern church. A correspondent of the Lynch- burg Republican reports Mr. Rosser to have pro- pounded and sustained the following positions: — 1. The Methodist church North is the most power- ful and systematic organization on earth inst | slavery, and is doing more for the emancipation of the slave than any other organization on earth. 2. The Baltimore Conference has done more to di- vide the Methodist Episcopal church in the United States than all the abolition conferences North put together. 3. The Baltimore Conference is doing more to abolish slavery than all the Northern conferences put together. 4. The Baltimore Conference is more dangerous in ite influence on earth, on the subject of slavery, than the rest of the Northern Methodist church combined. 5. The Baltimore Conference is more deceptive in its anti-slavery views, declarations, resolutions and measures than the open faced entire abolition North. 6. The Baltimore Conference is in a more eritical ‘ion than any other conference in the Northern lethodist church. ANOTHER MEETING OF THE BIDLE SOCIETY. The regular meeting of the Board of Managers of the American Bible Society was held on Thursday even- ing, when the following protest against the recent action of the Board was presented :— PROTEST. ‘The undersigned. members of the Standing Committee on Versions, feel constrained to present their formal teat agaret the the resolutions adopted by this Board, at ite recent adjourned meeting, on the subject e 4 stand ard Fuglish Bible circulated by the society, of the med alterations in the same.

The resolutions which occasioned this step we republish, in this connection. They are as follows:— ved, That this Society’s present standard kaglsh Bible be 4 to the standing Committee on Versions, for examination; and in all cases where the same differs ia the text or its accessories from the Bibles previously pub- lished by the ecciety, the committee are directed to cor- rect the same, by conforming it to previous eaitions print- ed }by this society or by the authorized British presses; reference, also, being had to the original edition of the translators, printed in 1611 and to reportsuch corrections to this Board, to the end that anew edition, thus perfected, may be adopted as the stannard edition of the Society. Resolved, That until the completion and adoption of such new standard edition, the Faglish Bibles to be issned by this society shall be such as conform to the editions of the society anterior to the late revision, so faras may bo practicable, and excepting cases where the persons or auxiliaries applying for Bibles shall prefer to be suppled from copies cf tho present standard edition now on hand or in proceve of manufacture A spirited discussion followed the reading of the protest, when the gentlemen hv whom it was signed severally tendered their resi, sations.

The quotations current for stocks to-day show a slight improvement. The most active movement to- day was in Cumberland and Erie. In each of these stocks there was an advance. The transactions were unusually large, and operators for a rise in each feel confident of putting prices considerably above those now current. In Cumberland Coal the sales to-day sum up nearly two thousand shares, while in Erie the sales were nearly four thousand shares. Most of the other speculative stocks were quiet, without much change in prices. PacificSteamship Company recovered partially from the decline of yesterday, and wasin demand at the close at better prices. New York Central Railroad was not at allactive, but well sustained, with an upward tendency. Panama was firm, and closed strong at 94} per cent cash. Galena and Chicago opened at 50, and closed at 89} | per cent cash. This company have prepared a circular to the stockholders, which sets forth the condition of the concern, and shows a very favorable state of things financially. It will show that in passing the February dividend the directors have consulted the best interests of the stockholders. ‘The net earnings for the past eight months have been over niue per cent upon the stock; ard when it is considered that this result has been accomplished notwithstanding he unparalleled financial revulsion, and the conse- quent falling off in business, it certainly argues that the management has not been unmindful of the trast reposed in them. Chicago and Rock Island appears to have very few friends at the Stock Exchange. The internal quarrels and broils have destroyed pab- Re confidence, and we ‘evrn that several of the larg- est Western stockholders have sold out. Reading Railroad stock appears to be inuch neglected. The coal tonnage Jast week was 11, and the total this year 186621 tons, against 235,184 to the sane time last year. Missouri State sixes were in demand this morm- ing and were well sustained. Other State stocks re- main unchanged. Railroad bonds are daily taken in small lots for investment.

With a decrease for the month of upwards of nine millions of dollars in the value of imports, compared with the corresponding period last year, there has been an increase of more than three millions in the value of exports. It is true that the whole of the increase in exports in the month this year has been in specie; but as we can spare that about as well as any other product, it does not detract from the general result. The value of goods withdrawn from warchonse in January this year was greater than the direct importation for consumption. If our foreign trade continues throughout the present year in this waya foreign debt at the close will be very limited and our ba- lance sheet will show a result very different from the last.
