The friends of the Baptist Denomination, South Street, Exeter, have been under the necessity of forsaking their old building. It has been in a delapitated state many years. It is now supported by fifteen props to prevent the neighbourhood from destruction. The friends are exerting themselves to the utmost, yet they will be obliged to solicit the aid of Christian benevolence, and would with all due deference present their Petition on the following general grounds. 1. The case is absolutely necessary, and is laid upon them in the course of Divine Pro- | vidence. II. For more than a century, they, and their fathers, have never refused one case of any denomination of christians, and never solicited public benevolence on any occasion. III. They have done, or are doing to the utmost to help themselves. Dr. John Ryland, Bristol, writes thus at the head of their case-“I was at Exeter immediately after our friends were obliged to leave their Old Meeting House; and I am so assured of the goodness of their case, and so well informed of the diligence of their pastor, in his daily labors for the good of souls, that I cannot forbear recommending NEW CHAPEL OPENED. On Wednesday, Oct. 9, 1822, a new place of worship was opened in Lake Lane, Portsea, for the use of the Baptist Congre gation raised there by the joint labours of the brethren Tilly and Clay, of Portsea, who commenced preaching there some time since in a large school-room. The number of members has increased, in less than two years, to more than seventy, and the congregation to nearly 400 persons. The new place is a very substantial building, and will accommodate 500 persons; it stands in a populous neighbourhood, and presents a fine prospect of usefulness. At the opening of it, suitable sermons were preached by Messrs. Miall, of Portsea,-Draper,_ of Southampton, and Bulgin, of Poole. The devotional parts of the service were conducted by the brethren Young, Arnot, Shoveller, Brand, Neave, Mileham, Keen, of London, and Headden. The old place is used for a Sunday School, in which about 700 children are taught.

Oct. 10.-Mr. Stephen Deacon was solemnly appointed pastor of the Baptist Church at Earls-Barton, Northamptonshire. Mr Adams, his pastor, delivered the Introductory address, and asked the usual questions; Mr. Hinds, of Sharnbrook, offered the Ordination prayer; Mr. Blundell gave the charge, from Mal. ii. 7; Mr. Vorley, of Carlton, addressed the church from 1 Thess. v. 13; Messrs. Knowles, of Hackleton, and Clark, of Gainsborough, engaged in prayer; and Mr. Rowlet, of Catunth, read suitable hymns. In the Evening, Mr. Coleman, of Woolastone, (Independent) read and prayed, and Mr. Mack, of Clipstone, preached and concluded. This church had been destitute of a pastor eleven years, during which period they had to contend with many difficulties; but Mr. Deacon's labours among them for the last five years have been greatly blessed, and six new members have been added to the church, and the congregation is considerably increased. The number of members is now thirty-three. Their meeting-house, a hired one, is become very inconvenient, if not dangerous, the walls and gallery being cuted engravings, in 4 vols. By the Rev. T. propped to prevent their falling; it is, therefore, the wish of the church to build a plain place of worship for their accommodation. With this view they are raising money among themselves by a penny a week subscription, &c. and intending, as they will be necessitated to do shortly, to solicit the kind assistance of the Christian public. This village contains about 1100 inhabitants; and there is a great desire for hearing the word not only among them, but also among the adjacent villages. LITERARY NOTICES. In the Press.

Most blessed Jesus, dearest Friend, O Jesus, cordial to the heart, When on my heart thou'rt pleas'd to shine, My soul is cheered with truth divine; All I contemn but things above, My bosom glows with heav'nly love. Jesus, my chief and lasting good, My Saviour, strength, and precious food, y presence grant, thy glory show, gay boundless love, cause me to know. He whom the love of Jesus warms, Approved by Jesus, knows his charms. Bless'd is the man he fills with grace: "Tis all I crave, to see his face. Jesus, thou Lord of Angels bright, The choicest honey to my taste, A thousand sighs for thee I heave, Now what I sought, my eyes descry; Jesus, thou art my heart's delight; In thee the choirs of heav'n exult, The virgin heart, the soul that's pure, 1.a.
