Religious Denominations. nelhodist Rpiarwpnl Church. Having given ti account of the. Introduction f Methodism into tho Untied Stale, In which the Rev. J"hn Wesley was Intimately concerned, nnder the providence of God, in giving it character and efficiency, it will be proper to give here brief history of the life and character of this mare than ordinarily distinguished individual. John Wesley, the founder of the sect in England called Wesleyan Methodists, waa born at Epworlh, in Lincolnshire, on the 17lh of Jun, 1703. Hi father, Samuel Wesley, vat a clergyman nf the church of England, and held the living at Epworlh. His parishioners were very profligate, and the teal with which he discharged bit duliet excited in them a spirit of hatred so "violent, that they Bet hit house on fire. Mr. Weeley was then roused by the cry of fire from the street; but little imagining that it " in his wn house, he opened the door, and found it full f smoke, and that the roof wat burnt through. Directing bit wife aud the two eldest girl to rise and shift for their lives, he burst open the uureery door, where the maid was sleeping with five thildreii. She snatched up the youngest, and bade the others follow her: the three eldest did to; but John, the subject of the present memoir, who wat then tix years old, was not awakened, and, In the alarm, was forgotten. The rest of the family escaped; some through the windows, asms by the garden door; and Mrs. Wesley, to sa her own expression, "waded through the fire.". At this time, John, who had not been remembered till that moment, was heard crying Id the nursery. The father ran to the stairs, bat they wart so nearly consumed that they ould not bear his weight; and being utterly in despair, he fell upon his knees in the hall, and ia agony commended the soul of the child to God. John had been awakened by the light, aud finding it impossible to escape by the door, climbed upon a chest which Jtood near the window, aud be was than wn from the yard. There was no time for procuring a ladder, but one man was hoisted on tlie shoulders of another, and thus he was uktn out. A moment after, aud the whole Whan the child was carried ont to III. nous Where m.T,reBt, were, the father risd out, "Cuine, neighbors, W as kneel dowu1st ut give thanks to God', he has given -l j ay eight children: let the house go; I am rich enough." John Wesley remembered this providtulial deliverance through life, wilh the deepest gratitude. John was educated at the Charterhouse, where, for bis quietuest, regularity, and application, he became a favorite with the master. Dr. Walker At the age of seventeen he was rtmoved from the Charterhouse to Christchurch, Oxford. Before he went to the university he had acquired some kuowlcdg of Hebrew, nnder his brother Samuel's tuitiou. At college he con. liaued his studies with great diligence, and was noticed there for his attainments, and especially for h'.s skill In logic, lie whs ordulued in the autumn of the year 1735, by Dr. Potter, theu bishop ef Oxford, aud afterwards primula. In the ensuing spring hs offered himself for a fel lowskiu at Lincoln college. The strictness of bis religious principles was now sufficiently remarkable ta afford subject for satire, and his oppeueuts hoped to prevent l:s success by making him ridiculous. Notwithstanding this kiud of eppotillou, he attained the object lu view, aud waa elected fellow in March, 1726. From this time Mr. Weley began to keep a diary, and during a life of incessant occupation be fuuud time to register, not ouly his proceedings hut his thoughts, his studies, aud his ocaaioual remarks upon nieti and books; and not anfrequently upon miscellaneous subjects, with a vivacity which characterized him to the last. Eight months after his election to a fellowship, hs waa appointed Greek lecturer and moderator f the classes. At that time disputations wenheld six timet a week at Lincoln college. He now formed for himself a scheme of studies. Mondays and Tuesdays were allotted for the lassies; Wednesdays, to logic and ethics; Thursdays, to Hebrew and Arabic; Fridays, to metaphysics and uatural philosophy; Saturdays, to oratory and poetry, but chiefly to composition In those arta; and the Sabbath to divinity. It appears by his diary, also, that he gave great attention to mathematics. The elder Mr. Wesley was now, from age and infirmity, become unequal to both hia livings: John, therefore, went to Wroole, aud officiated there as his curate; but, after two years, was summoned to his college, upon a regulation that the junior fellows who might be chosen moderators should attend In person the duties f their office. It wat while he held thit curacy that he obtained priest's orders. On his return to college, Mr. Wesley began to prosecute bis studies with extraordinary application, and alao prevailed upon two or three undergraduates, whose incliuatious and principles coincided with his own, to form an association, not so much for the purpose of study as fsr religious improvement. Te carry this into affect, they lived by rule, and held meetings for devotional purposes. This, in process of time, drew on them the observation of their fellowstudents, and excited their ridicule; and finally they attached to them the name of Methodists. Two of the early members of thit society aftarwarda acquired celehiity James Hervey, the author of the Meditations, and George Whitfield, who subs, qoeully seceded from Wesley, n Calvinitlic grounds. They were now about fifteen in number: when first they began to meet, they read divinity on Sunday evenings nly, and pursued their classical studies on other Rights; but religion toon became the sole busi ness of their meetings; they now regulaily visited the prisoners and the sick, communicated nee a week, and fasted on Wednesdays and Fridays. In 1735, the elder Wesley died; one of his latest desires waa, that he might complete his work n Job. This with teemt to bave been nearly, if not wholly accomplished; and John was harged to present the volume to queen Caroline. Going to London on this commission, he found tkat the trustees of the new colony of Georgia Wert in tearch of persons who would preach the gospel there to the settlers and the Indians, and that they had hxed their eyes upon him and bis associates. At first ha peremptorily refused fit ( Upon till wrsVi, but at last dtrrni"ed

to refer the ease to his mother, thinking she would not consent: In this he was mistaken. On the Uth of October, 1735. John and Charles Wesley, in company with ..Mr. Oglethorpe, the founder of the colony, embarked for Georgia. On board the earn vessel there were twenty-six Moravians, going to join a party of their brethren, from Herrnhut, who had gone out the preceding year, under the sanction of the British government. On their arrival at the Savannah the brothers separated. Chailes went with Ben jamin Ingham (one of the Oxford society) to Frederica; John took op his lodging at Savanntih, with the Germans who had emigrated from Herrnhut. The commencement of his ministry was pleasing; the people crowded to hear him, and the congregation, which was at first very gay, dressed plainly, in conformity to his exhortations These favorable appearances would probably have increased, had Mr. Wesley been less attached to rigid and impracticable discipline; but his extraordinary rigor entailed upon him a traiu of distressing cousequeuces, which a litlle prudence might have avoided, and obliged him to return home. Mr. Whitfield tailed from the Downs for Georgia a few hours only before the vessel which brought Mr. Wesley back from thence cast auchor there. Charles Wesley had gone back to England to procure ministerial assistance, aud John had written to invite Mr. Whitfield to Georgia. Mr. Wesley now became intimately connecnected wilh the Moraviana in Loudou, particularly with Peter Boehler; and by him, -in the bauds of the great God," says Mr. Wesley, "J was clearly convinced of unbelief, of the want of that faith whereby alone we are saved." A scruple immediately occurred to him, whether he ought not to leave off preaching; for how could he preach to others who had not faith himsell? Boehler was consulted, whether he should leave it off, and answered, "By uo means." "But what cau I preach?" said Mr. Wesley The Moravian replied, "Preach faith till you have it; and then, because you have it, you will preach faith." Accordingly he began to preach this doctriue, though, he say s, his s.iul started back from the work. This was his state till Wednesday, May 24, 1738, a remarkable nay in

the history of Methodism; for upon that day he dates hit conversion; a point, say his official ograptK. f tho utmost magnitude, Dot ouv with respect to himsell, ou .u r ",nrs- tin In. eveuing of that day he went, very unwillingly, to u society iu Alderegate street, where one of the assembly was reading Luther's preface to the epistle to the Romans. What followed may best be given ia his own words. "About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart, through faith iu Christ. I fell my heart strangely draw ;me 1 felt I did trust in Christ, Christ aloue, f..r salvation; and an assurance was given me that he had taken away mt sius, even mink, and saved UK from the law of sin aud dealh." Yet 'Mr. Wesley's religious opiuiona were not quite fixed; aud to pot an end to painful uncertainty, he resolved to visit the Moravians at Herrnhut. Re turning to Englaud, he went to Bristol, and was there received by Mr. Whitfield, who had retur ned from Georgia, aud had introduced the practice of field preaching. This Mr. Wesley at first thought very strange, but he soon complied with the innovation, aud practised it him self. The congregations became numerous; the first .Methodist chapel waa built, aud the so ciety divided into bauds after the Mora-iau plan I hese events took place in the year 17:!9. This may be considered as the foundation of Melliocistn. Mr. Wesley, waa yet. in many respects. a ii i g ii churchman; but, driven by the current of events, he was constantly introducing innovations. Most clergymen refused him their pulpits; this drove him to field preaching. But field preaching Is not for nil weathers, in a cli mate lite thai ol England; prayer meetings were also a part of his plan: and thus it became expedient to build meeting houses. Meeting houses required funds; they required ministers, too, while he was itineratine- Mr. Whiifield became Calviaist. and, in 1741, wilhdew from his connection with Mr. Wesley, taking with him those of the society who united wilh him iu opinion. Few clergymen co-operated with Mr. Wesley; and though at first he abhorred the thought of admitting uneducated laymen to the ministry, as the societies increased lay preachers were soon forced upon him, by their own zeal, which was too strong to be restrained, aud by the plaiu necessity of the case. When the meeting house wat built at Bristol, Mr. Wesley had made himself responsible for the expenses of the building. As, however, it was for their public use, the Methodists at Bristol properly regarded the debt as public also; and one of the members proposed, that every member in the society should contribute a penny a week, till the whole was paid. It was observed that many of them were poor, and could not afford it. "Then," said the proposer, "put eleven of the poorest with me, and if they can give anvthing, well; I will call oj them weekly, and If they can give nothing, I will give for them myself." Thus began the contribution of class money, and the same accident led to a perfect system of inspection. The leaders, or persons who had undertaken for a elass, as these divisions were called, were next directed te inquire after the conduct aud spiritual wellfare of those under their care. And, finally , the leaders, Instead of calling week ly on their flock, for greater convenience, assembled them at a given time and place. Thenceforth, whenever a society of Methodittt was formed, thit arrangement was followed. Tm hi rm ntin tirrf. CTFrom all quartera we have complaints of the failure of the potatoe crop.

Weatrra Crrdiis-ltnilrenda. It is certainly very gratifying to witness the increased favor with which western securities and western enterprises are now regarded bv capitalists; compared with the limited credit they enjoyed a year or two since. One extreme is sure to follow another, and there may be s. me danger that the facility with which western securiiiescan be negotiated iu tSis market added to the growing disposition on the part of eastern men to engage iu these enterprises, on their own accniml nill i .....;.! ...., sion of these works. Only such a portion of our I '"i"uipuai can be permanently invested without emharrasment to business. The danger of overinvestment is strikingly illustrated by the present condition of Massachusetts. The same drafts that the New EngUnd railroads made upon the money capital of Boston, the roals of other Tortious of the country are now making upon New York. While, therefore, we would encourage the construction of public works, the proper way to do this most effectually is tu secure to them healthy growth. Railroads create wealth just in proportion as thy reduce the rostof tranpnrtation. So far they replace immediately the capital invested in them. Their value in this way may be more accurately measured thau by the dividends they pay. Subject to thit test the importance of ' nilroadt to the west becomes the more striking, In m-itty parts of the Mississippi Valley the cost of sending agricultural products to a market, is erealer than the cost of production. A railroad then becomes a greater item in the produc- I

tion ofweulth than a fertile soil. In the in- B!l interview wilh Mrs. H ebster, for the purcreated price obtained for the staplet of a coun- pose, as he staled, of making some important try, a railroad may pay for itself in a very short communications to her. They proved to be, time; consequently its cost is uot felt as a bur- j 1,1 ll ne h"'l I"' uPon tcheine to effect the pris-

In the Misssissij.pi valley stl the vast surplus of its products are exported to distant markets. Agriculture beii.ir the sole pursuit, all that is consumed that the soil does not produce, is imported. The amount of transportation to the individual is therefore much greater there than Ci-ru States, where the ereat variety of pursuits enables eve,, TO. to supply his wants from the products of his neighbors. In New Englaud, fortius reason, all the roads through the agricultural sections have proved' failures as far as regards investments The New England farmer has little to export "! ne wen furnishes a great part of hii breadstuffs. His ouly surplus which he has to send to market is stock and wool, and these are very limited in amount, consequently we see that roads cease to

.ry high cost, the disastrous condition of things ... 6 which we now witness was unavoidable. The western railroads are built at about one-fourth the cost of the eastern roads. With the same' amount of business they wouW be good properly, while the latter would be uearly worthless. The western roads not ouly cost much less thau the eastern, but for along time to come they will be much better managed. Their construction requires the concurrence and favor of the whole community. At the present time a persou who should attempt to ben. fit himself by thwarting or embarrassing a work of this kind would not be tolerated. The only Bulls and B"nrs there, are such as harmlessly roam over her wide prairies. The umiiuf.u'tured article has not yet crossed the Alleghauies. The same amount of pay commands a much gieater amount of service in the west than the east The lauds necessary for a railroad are usually a gratuity. So, to a great extent, are the services of directors and officers. The necessity that is felt for the roiids is accompanied wilh the conviction that the whole strength of the community ia required to build It. This conviction of itelf secures the most rigid accountability, and the most economical expenditure of means. Am. Railroad Journal .tlnsonir Officers.

The Evening Post has a letter from a correepondent at Boston, git ing some fi-cts appertaininn to the family of the late Professor Webster, w hich are not without interest, though they curiously illtistriate the ilrange follies of which poor human nature Is capable: ''Daily, even to the present period, you mav see persons driving up to the dwelling house of Mrs. Webster, Cambridg e, for the purpose of at l-ast looking at the outside of the house where her late husband lived.

The farmers in the parish of Udny, In the county of Aberdeen, Scotland, practice the following method of curing their butter, which gives it a great superiority over that of their neighbors: Tahe two parts of the best common salt, one partofsugar, aud one pnrt of saltpeter; take one ounce of this composition for aixteeu ounces of butter; work it well inlfl mass, aud close it up for use. The butter cured with this mixture appears of a rich and marrowy consistence, and line color, ami never acquires a brittle hardness, nor tastes salty. Dr. Anderson says, "1 have ute butter cured with the above composition, that has b-eu kept thre years, and it was as sweet as at first." But it must be noted that p itter thus cured, requires to stand three weeks or a mouth before it is begun to be used; if it be sooner opened the sails are- not sufficiently blended with it; and sometimes the coo ness of the uitrewill theu be peicieved. which totally disappears afterwards.
