mired by judges in carpentry. The in- 
terior is certainly very beautiful, though 
by fome it has been thought rather too 
lofty ; and that this is at leaf one caufe 
of an alleged indiftinétnefs which is com- 
plained of by fome of the hearers. ‘The 
‘original plan was te have finifhed off the 
veftibule with a dome; but the general 
prepofleflion in favour of a fteeple has 
changed it into.a fpire of great height and 
confiderable elegance. 
The other parifh-churches and. chapels 
of. eafe (four in number) have nothing 
that requires particular notice. 
The number of Separatifts. from the 
Eftablifhed Church is great, and the dil- 
tinGtions various. The Society of Pro- 
fefiant Diffenters in Hanover-fquare has 
-fubfifted during more than arcentury, and 
has been ferved by many eminent men. 
Though ufually clafied under the denomi- 
nation of Prefbyteriansy it is believed that 
they never exercifed the Prefbyterian dif- 
cipline; or joined any. other focieties in 
forming a clafs or fyned, or ever pre- 
{cribed any creed or: confeffion as a term 
of communion among themifelvesi* Be- 
fides thefe, there are fix congregations of 
Prefbyterians properly fo. called; united 
in’ deétrine, difcipline, and communion, 
with the Church of Scotland, and one of 
each of the clafies of the feceffion from that 
church, ftiled Burghers and Antiburghers: 
a congregation of Independents, and an- 
other of Particular, or Calviniftic, Bap- 
tits: two large focieties cf the old Wefl- 
leian Methoditts, and one connected with 
the new Itinerancy, commonly called Kil- 
hamites, who are very numerous. ‘There 
are alfo two Roman Catholic Chapels, a 
numerous and refpeétable body of Quakers, 
and a few worthy perfons attached to the 
tenets of Mr. John Glas, whence they 
are ufually denominated Glafiites.—All 
thefe live together, on the whole, very 
peactably ; and\while they maintain, with 
fufficient zeal, their refpef&tive tenets and 
modes, they can often, with great har- 
mony, join with each other in. plans for 
the public berefit, either in a charitable 
or a literary way: and as feldom, per-

Reprefentation of the Emigvants has been 
convened at the New Welch Town of 
Beula, in Cambria (117 miles from Bal- 
timore, and 160 miles from Philadelphia) 
on the 22d) of June laft, and an addrefs 
vated tothe Welch nation in its antient 
language. The difficulties of late thrown 
in the wey of inclofures of wafte lands in 
Wales, owing to the clathing interefts of | 
lords of manors—the increafe of taxes 
greatly affecting fmall hill-farms; and 
other caufes, have increafed the fpirit of” 
emigration; and a meeting properly or- 
ganized has lately afflembled’at Liandoffil, 
in Cardiganfhire, for promoting a gene- 
ral emigration to America. 
The number 
as already afcertained is very confiderable ~
