Tiis Iate religious interest began with the week of prayer, and the work hag been carried on by continuing the upien meetings where it originated, In tit réports of ove hundred of the revivals estimates of the conversions are made and amount to more than four thousand, of whom 1,300 have already united with tie Church. These tidings come from twenty-three different States. In Indiana there have been thirty-one revivais, in lowa twenty-three, in Illinois twenty, in Michigan nineteen, in Pennsylvania seveuteen, and in both New York and New Jersey fourteen, In Philadel- phia, “with less excitement and probably with more effect than in the diys of the great revival at Jayne’s Hall, a general revival of religion is in progress, and clinrcles of every nome are feeling the blessed influei.ce.” Jn Krooklyn, also, the rel gious inter neral. At one church 150 conversions have taken place, aud at another several entire families have been led to profess their faith in Christ. The third all day prayer meeting was recently held, in Cincinnati, aud the interest was well sustained to thy close. At West- erly, R. 1., a powerful revival is in progress, The Episcopal as weil as other churches share in the blessing. At Newington, Conn., Christians of. all Dames are united in a revival where already thore than one hundred are inquiring the way of life— eig y have been converted, In this State, at ji ackson, ainong the Reformed, Presbyterian and Methodist societies, two hundred conversions are reported, and at Waverley the labors of a de- voted Presbyterian elder, who has for years main- tained a Sabbath school a little out of the village, a profound religious interest is felt. Fifty have been hopefully converted, and the work is carried o1 without ministerial aid by the happy co-opera- tion of three laymen, represeating the Presby- terian, Baptist and Methodist ehureves: In the Siate of lowa the religious interest is very gene- ral. The Dubuque Zimes, 24 inst., says:—Our ex- changes from erloo, Cedar Fal!s, lowa Falls, Cedar Beni, amosa, Manchester, Wavericy, Marion, Clinton, Davenport, Muscatine, Burling- ton, Keokuk and a number of other towns in this State give accounts of extensive revivals of re- ligion going on in these places. At Sedalia, Mo., the converted embrace Catholics, Jews, infidels, Germans and Americans. The work seems only beginning. Rev. John Monteith, Jr., of St. Louis, has greatly aided the pastor, Rev. J. M. Bowers. In Hagerstown, Ind., fifty have been added to the different churches. In Troy, N..Y., they are enjoying the visitation of the Holy Spirit. Daily meetings were being held, at last accounts, in Rev. H. W. Ballantine’s church in Marietta, 0! In Ripley, in the same State, there was so much religious interest at the close of the week of prayer that the daily meet- ings were continued. ‘Twenty-nine have been added to the Rev. D. E. Pierce’s clurch since the commencement of new year. The revival in Delphi, Ind., more extensive than any experienced tn twenty years. Already some forty have been received into the Rev. Mr. Wal- lace’s church, twenty into the Rev. Mr. Wright's (O. S8.), and some fifteen into the Methodist church. The Buffalo Advorate learns that a deep religious feeling exists on Grand Island, People came five orsix miles to attend the meetings at Shonwater, and as many as twenty-five had at one time manifested a desire for a change of heart. Elsewhere, the same paper remarks, that “it now looks as if the present might prove the great revi- val year of the district, and we should not be sur- prised if the additions to the churches should ex- ceed anything ever before known.” We give additional accounts of this ren religions revival under their regular d: tional heads, and regret that our space forbids giving them more in detail. On Thursday, January 30, the Universalist chureh in Pawtucket, R. 1, was dedicated. The church is described as a beautifal temple, 75 feet long by 60 wide, with a tower 157 feet high; a bell weighing 3,700 pounds, a clock, and an organ costing $4,000, . UNITARIAN, The Church of the Messiah, on the corner of Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue, is nearly completed and will be dedicated in a tew weeks. The pastor, Dr. Osgood, desired to have the church furnished by voluntary gifts from the people in- stead of depending npon a fair as is so often done. He made au appeal for that purpose, and: all the furniture, including organ, pulpit, chairs, tables, books, rose windows, &c., were immediately aud cheerfully preseated. BAPTIST. In fifty Baptist churches 1,237 conversions are reported, while in thirty-four more revivals have commenced. Ateleven towns along the line of the Michigan Southern and Central Railroads, and @erght other places in the State, as well asin twenty towns of Indiana, large accessions have een made to the Baptist churches, At Butler- Ville, Ind., and in its immediate neighborhood 164 converts were recenily baptized. At Cambridge, Pa., 114 have bevn received into the chureh, and, at seven other places in the State a similar work in in progress.e AUB ptisttown and Woolstown, N. J., 100 conversions have taken phice. Thirteen other towns in the State, eight in New York, ten te Vermont and three in Iincis have been visited fa like manner by revivals. The Baptist missionary treasury calis for help. Examiner says :— Sie work of missions, home and foreign, claims the warmest sympathy and the Jergest contributions of ali our benevolent enter- rises. The tereign missionary treasury abso- tely needs not less than $110,000 by the end of Muareh to pay the appropriations of the year. home missiovary treasury as urgentiy needs $50,000 in the same time, But neithor of these Qums can be raised without a present general effort on the part, not ot ihe churches in New York, Philadelphia and Boston atone, but of the charehes everywhere in all those States which make up the field of our mi-sion supplies. Only six weeks remain before the $220,000 must be raised. The first church in Bangor, Me., celebrated the sgemi-ceptennial of its organization, January 26. Of its six successive pastors all but one are living, end four were present. Mr. 8.

We suppose that a monopoly of any kind ts detrimental to the interests of the people; and we believe that there are among us other monopolies besides railroad mo- nopolies, The New York HERALD has exposed the eie- phant of ail monopohes, viz:—The Western Union Tele- graph Company, who, at the exponse of about ten mil- ons of dollars, is trying to saddle adebt of sixty mil- lious of dollars upon tho already tax-ridden people of this country, Let us see what has been done in aad about our own homes to bring about this telegrapiie monopoly. In the first place, a class of men woo can be readily found im apy city have been inveigied ‘nto the confidence of this monopoly by the acceptance of a paitry “‘frank’’ for their private use, with the understanding that they are expecied to oppose the establishment of any other con- poting telegraph line, And in this manner the door of progress has been effectually closed for the last five years. There are now two lines which cross our State which have, by this kind of manipulation, been prevented from entering the cities of ‘trenton, Newark, Camden, Elizabeth and all other places of interest to the people of vur state where they would be likely to come in com- pe:ition with the Western Union Telegraph Company. Merchants and busine: en generally, are you so bind to your owa lntorests That Sau canal dos the purpose of ail thig conniving? Look now at the rates you have to pay for tolographiing— ‘and why?” It is because vou are too deeply interested in your own pur. suits to notice what would conduce to the coramon good ofall, While they are telegraphing from Washington to Boston for forty cents, and from Philadelphia for twen- ty-five cents, you bar the entrance of these opposition lines by allowing men to stand in your way, and have to pay ninety cents for what the people of Philadelphia ure paying twenty-tlvo cents. Business men of ‘renton, put a stop tothis imposition and go to the Leg'siature and insist that the door shill be opened to your interests, and that any and all the telegraph lines cros+ing our Staie shail be admitted into your cities, Yes, insisi that they svall come in, Tuere are now two other independent Hoes cross ng our Stale, viz, the Bankers; and Brokers’ Telegraph Company aud the Insulated Teicgraph Company, The first named has been driven out of our city and crosses the Delaware by the Yardlevviile bridge, and the other company crosses at New Hope. ‘Yhere 1s nota Stato in the Union where competing lines have not an office, with the exception of New Jer- sey,’and whil the Legisiatare annually mocts at tho capital to make laws for the protection of the people's interests, this g gantic monopaiy bas bean perinitted to £0 on without a sinzie vo'ce be ng raised in condemna- (on of 18 monstrous wrongs, and here in our very city where we have a Board of trate, aud where our mor- chants and busmess mon are taxed nearly double rates for telegraphic mossazes, in comparison with other cities, the Voice of public sentiment bas been as dum!) and silent aga stone, Citi: of New sersey, business men, only look into the matter, and what will you find?’ Why, three distinct telepraph lines crossing our State and only ono of them, the Western Union felegraph Company, baving asingle office within its limius! ‘Tne other two lines have been driven away from every principal city and town In the State by this avaricious and greedy monster monopoly called tae Western Union Telegraph Company, Both of the bridge companies conticnow® to our cily have been bought vp by this monopoly, and the com- peting telegraph lines have been compelled im order to cross the Delaware to lay their wires over the Yardloy- ville bridge, a distance of at least three miles from Trenton; and who has to pay for these manipulations ? Why, the people! the merchant, tue business mau—in a word, every one is a sufferer who is compeilod to send telegrams in order to show our fellow citizens what they loose by this o1ce operation of the Western Union Telegraph Company we have received from a friend in Philadelphia a schedtle of the rates of charges for m from Philadelphia io other cities before there were any opposition tines started and what they Bow are, and also the rales charged by this Western monopoly from Trenton. Let us see what the figures say. The first column shows the rates of charges trom Puilade\phia to other cities before opposition lines entered that city; the second column exhibits the rates of charges now since position lines have been patablished, and the third Sees the rates of charges from Trenton to the places named :.

This is the advantage, Jer- seyimon, you are getting for the chartered privileges your logisiators bave conferred upon this monopoly. We call upon the members of the Legislature representing this ety, Ne Brupawick, Elizabeth, Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken and Camden, to allow=vea, compal—by !eyis- lative enactment these competing lines crossing our state to esiablish offices in each of these cities as & matter of public necessity.

Houses of Our Merchants—Their Style of Bullding—The Fu The Fashiennble Avenues. At the present moment there is no subject inhabitants of Manhattan which interests the Island more than the question of rents, the in- crease in the value of property and the immense improvements that are being made daily in the architecture of our city, The number splendid buildings being erected testifies forcibly to the advance of commerce in New York and the success which marks the enterprise of her mer- chants. New York, asthe metropolis of arepublic, must depend on her business men for her aggran- dizement and her ornamentation, and it is, there- fore, that wherever one sees either palatial residences or gigantic commercial houses starting uj tht such ig tobe put down ag the result of he TL . Be Shterprise and the mph of her trade, Many of the old monarchial countries of Europe pride themselves on the splendor of their build- ings, Rome has her Vatican; Paris, the Tuileries, and London, St. James’; but who built them? They are not the result of enterprise and perse- verance and legitimate industry. They are the property of idiers and the work of slaves, They are old, undoubte ly, and monuments to remind one of the tyranny and despotism of the past. Here we have a democratic country, and our most fashionable avenues are occupied by men who fear not to work to-day, as they did when young, and who pride themselves on their energy, their labor and their enterprise, and who do not sit down in idle, slothfal indolence, while all around the hum of labor is incessant and busy hands are developing the resources of a great oountry. Riches bring riches in almost all lands, but they generally remain with the same individuals, and are of no benefit whatever to the general public. In this country, especially in this city, itis different. Here the merchant is successful in trade and his outlay is accordingly liberal. He builds a ware- house at almost extravagant cost, or he erects for his family a mansion splendid in design and pa- latial in appearance and dimension; and hia work benefits not him alone, it is of service to the com- munity at large and adds materially to the beauty of the city. The new buildings of New York have been frequently referred to in the columns of the Heraxp, and it is but two weeks ago since an article was published descriptive of commercial houses erected within the past year, To-day the palatial residences built or finished within the same period are the subject of another. Go where one may in tho city, in the avenues where houses have stood thst “could rival many of the aristocratic (so-called) mansions of Europe, and yet one sees improvement on all sides, and more beautiful new structures take the place of the old, and so great has this progress been and so rapidly has it manifested itself that it is considered by many that ina very short period a hotel at Cen- tral Park or even nearer High Bridge will be looked on as far more convenient and more easily approached than was the present Fifth Avenue Hotel at the time of its opening. Asa proof of the oaward march up town it may be well to remark tiat a tirm of the weil known hotel pro- prictors and the most experienced in the trade down tosn are trying to make arrangements towards the opening of a hoie! in the vicinity of Forty-fourth street and Fifth avenue. It is also said that a certain company is bi formed which has for its object the purchase of several lots for the same purpose, iv the vicinity of St. Luke's Infirmary, wich tends-to show that New York advances towards its northern bound- ary for a residence, wiile the lower portion of the city isto be devoted. xclusively to commerce— it may be said the wholesale trade, for the retail business is now forcing iteelfinto the most fashion able quarters; and the time is not far distant when the avenu hich are now the residing pla the wealth and fasion of New York will be trans- formed into regular bosiness streets; for trade follows on the heeis of the wealthy, and it is not too daring to assert that business tends to tury at Union square, down Fourtcenth street to Fifth avenue and thence to the Park. This will take time, and the more trade makes her inroads the more valuable becomes the property; id the proprietors of real estate around the avenues are erecting, at a most liberal outlay, mansions exce!- ling in architectural beauty and finish anytii.g of the kind before projected. FIFTH AVENUE bears testimony to what is alleged, for there some of the most costly residences have been erected within the past year, and where twelve months ago, especially in the upper portion, vacant lots were visible or unsightly wooden shanties stood, to-day the ground is covered by the finest build- ings that could be possibly desired. At the corner of the avenue and Thirty-fourth street Mr. A. T. Stewart's building presenta itself, It is not yet finished and has already been described in the Heraip. Its frontage on the avenue and on Thirty-fourth street measures respectively one hundred and ten feet and fifty-six feet, The mate- rial used in the structure is the very finest kind of white marble, which, for s residence especially, presents pleasing and splendid appearance. The house, although capacious in design, contains but three stories, which isand must be @ de-ideratuin to the occupants, who will not have such a di culty in “getting up stai Tee rooms, ho ever, are consequently higher and are lightsome and cheerful; those on the lower floor are lofty and roomy and are finished in very fine style. Tne building alone is estimated to cost about $700,000, and the furniture, statuary and other arc a of ornament and use will, it is supposed, bring up the total outlay to about $1,250,000. The proprietor, in bis anxiety to make it a beautiful «tructuro, has paid every attention to safety and solidity, and the foundation and other walls are as deep and thick as any others in the city. Mr. John H. Sherwood has built s large num- ber of residences, which cover the block from Forty-third to Forty-fourth street, and were com- pleted towards the close of the past year, There are seven of them in all, occupying about el: lots, the ground and improvements thereon costi more than a million of dolls The design o each honse is distinct, 6o tit no two are the name, and the number of rooms vary from sixteen to twenty-five; the lots are all 125 feet deep, and large stables are attached. An ides of the value of the property may be conceived from the fact thot within the past week or two the proprietor has refused $120,000 for some ofthe houses, There is one thing peculiar about these residences, and that is the use of natural wood in the interior fin- ishing work. It had been the custom heretofore in Fifth avenue, as weil a8 in otber fashion. able localities, to use black walnut or rosewood; but many good judges imagined that a more cleerfal color wonld be less gloomy; then the natural woods were resorted to, aod in Mr. Sherwood’s buildings, as in others, they have taken precedence, though at a very heavy adui- tionalexpense. In the wainscoting cedar, oak root, satin wood and others, to the number of six teon, are used in the finishing; all the finest and the rarestof timber. Varnish is unkoowu and nature takes the place with better eff-ct. Mr. William H, Vanderbilt ms very nearly completed a massive and highly finished brown s:one mansion on Murray Hill, meavaring 50x65; the whole lot, including stable and house, is 656x125. This is at the southeast corner of Forticth street and Fifth avenue, and the eatimated cost is eupposed to reach the sum of $500,000. The interior finisiing is very nearly the same ag Mr. Sherwood's; but the wood used is of @ darker hue. The greater part of it in natural, with a amall adui- tion of rosewood and walnut. The building is three stories high, and everything that the most liberal expenditure could secure has in done by ita proneistee to make it one of the fi mansions ia New York, At the northwest corner of Forty- fourth street and Fifth avenue Mr. Cornell has completed the erection of a mansion covering a lot of 30x85. It is composed of brick, witha Dorches- ter stone front and ® very handsome Mansard roof, This building is also finished in natural wood, consists of three stories, and will cost up- wards 0f $150,090, At the corner of Forty-sevent! street two four story houses, owned by Mesere. Livingston and Place, have been erected; they cost $40,000 each and measure fifty-two feet high, fifty-five and eighty deep, and twenty-five wide. On the lot northeast corner Fifth avenue and Ferty-eighth treat Mr-David Robins last fall com- menced the erection of four four story drab brown stone front houses, measuring 2) to 27 feet in width and the whole occupying a front- age of over 100 feet en the avenue. se houses ere finished in an elegant manner, and the three first completed were sold intely for no leas aura $35,000 each. The corner house is the largest. 1¢ measures 20x75, and is valued at $95,000, Two very fine reshiences are being put up on the northeast corner of aS sirect andthe avenue.
