      of tie one God , even the Father . A room capable of accommodating with ease 400 persons , has been vented for a year at 500 dollars ( £ 112 . 10 . ? . sterling ) and fitted

      up as a chapel ^ where service is now reg-ularly performed twice every Lord ' s-day , and I understand that the attendance is respectable and the prospect encomaging-. Our hymn-book has been adopted , so that the second edition is now almost out of

      print . The supporters of the cause at New York are desirous of having those settled ministers of Boston , who are of the highest talents , to supply them for some time ; and as the distance is little more tlian 200

      miles , and the greater part of it can be # ot over in a steam boat , they will have little difficulty ia procuring such supplies in ) til they shall take root .

      A dispute exists between the Archbishop of Goa and the Governor of Bombay , which is reputed to be in his diocese . During the war , Father Bonat had acted as the archbishop ' s representative j but on the return , of peace , his grace sent over an ecclesiastic of the name of Francois Parras to displace him . The parishioners

      petitioned the go vein men r to allow them to retain Donatj who was generally esteemed . The government acceded to their request , and suspended Parras * mission ; giving the Archbishop of Goa to understand , that in any change , the parishioners must be allowed to choose their successor . The affair has been laid before

      Observance o / Christmas Day in United States . — " The different manner in which the anniversary of the nativity is observed in different parts of the United States , " ( says Niles in his Register , Jan . 17 , 1818 , ) " is worthy of remark . In Boston , it seems to have been partially observed on the 25 th nit ., by a recommendation in the public papers to abstain from business , and by some concerts of sacred music in the evening . In New York , some of the stores were shut up , but the theatre was open in the evening , and Mr . Cooper played George Barn well . In Philadelphia , about

      one half of the people paid some attention to the day- —but in Baltimore , and to the southward of it , the stares were generally shut up , the banks closed , and business suspended as on a Sunday . The Churches also were for the most part opened in the morning , and the afternoon was given to refreshment and mirth , heing an almost universal holiday . The only daily papers published in the United States northward

      of New York are two at Boston , and they only , I believe , were published on the day . "
