morning, the members at this place, nine | friends of the place have done what they could, but a debt has necessarily been incurred, for the liquidation of which an appeal will be made to the Christian public. Market Street is in every sense a Home Missionary station, since many villages are dependant upon it for religious instruction.

in number, and the members of the neighbouring churches assembled, when the ministers present gave us very suitable exhortations to abound in every good work. At 10, brother El. Evans, Cefn Mawr, read and | prayed. H. Jones, Cefn bychan, and John Roberts, Llansilin, preached from Rev. vii. 14-17, and Rom. v. 6-10. J. Roberts commenced by reading and prayer; and O. Michael and El. Evans, preached, Act. xvi. 14, and Matt. v. 13-17. At 6, brother D. Jones opened the meeting by reading a portion of the Bible and addressing the throne of grace; then R. Williams and El. Evans preached from 1 John ii. 1, and

Matt. iv. 13.

Thus ended a meeting, leaving the impres sion on the minds of those that were present that it was good for them to be there.

WINGRAVE.

On Wednesday, Sept. 12th, a new chapel was opened at Wingrave, near Aylesbury, Bucks, for the use of the united church and congregation of Baptists and Independents, when three excellent sermons were preached by Rev. Dr. Cox, E. Muscott, and Caleb Morris. The congregations were large, the collections liberal, and the services of the day peculiarly interesting. It will be long remembered by many as one of the most memorable days ever known in that populous village, in which the inhabitants and neighbourhood have long experienced the want of a larger place of worship. The church and congregation have liberally contributed towards the object, being unwilling the new place of worship should be burdened with a heavy debt; yet, notwithstanding all their efforts, they are under the necessity of appealing to the benevolent public for their assistance in liquidating a small debt which

still remains.

WANDSWORTH.

On Tuesday, September 25th, 1832, Salem Chapel was opened for the use of the Baptist denomination in Wandsworth. In the morning, Mr. Woollacott, of Westminster, preached from Proverbs ix. 1-6. afternoon, Mr. Williams, of Grafton Street, from Zech. iv. 6, 7; and in the evening, Mr. Bowes, of Woolwich, from Isa. lxv. 8.

MARKET STREET, BEDS.

The old meeting-house at the above place being too small for the congregation, which has much increased under the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Heath, its present pastor, it was deemed advisable to enlarge it, which has been done with due attention to neatness, convenience, and economy. It was reopened for divine worship.on Thursday, Sep. 20, 1832, when the Rev. H. Burgess, of Luton, preached in the morning, the Rev. Mr. Brock, of Stepney, in the afternoon, and the Rev. J.

John Stenson, of Carmel Chapel, Chelsea, delivered a discourse to the church from Luke xvii. 3, "Take heed to yourselves." The chapel was filled on this occasion, and the whole services were characterized by a solemnity and interest which will not soon be forgotten by those who had the privilege to witness them.

Recent Beaths.

The Rev. Thos. Harpur of Walworth, the respected Secretary of the Board of Congregational Ministers, was summoned to his rest on Sunday, November 11th, in the seventieth year of his age, His remains were deposited in Bunhill Fields, on the 19th, when the Rev. T. Russel delivered the address, and the Rev. G. Clayton offered up the prayer.

Died early on Lord's day morning the 18th November, the Rev. Wm. Howels, the highly esteemed minister of the Episcopal Chapel in Long Acre. He was seized on the preceding Thursday with symptoms of an inflammatory nature, which baffled all medical, skill, and speedily terminated his valuable life. The sensation occasioned by his death, especially among his own people, was unusually great, increased, doubtless, by the suddenness of his removal. The chapel-wardens had put up an announcement of his death in the porch of the chapel, and many of the congregation on assembling for worship, learnt, for the first time, by this means that he was gone. Some, however, it appears had entered the chapel without observing this notice, and when in the course of his sermon the officiating minister alluded to their "departed minister" two or three voices were heard exclaiming, "Is he dead?is he dead? - is he dead?" and immediately through the whole assembly there was an audible expression of the most heartfelt lamentation. Mr. H. "was a good man, and one that feared God
