77. S?. JOHN RELIEF, ———
BELIEVING that it will be a satisfac- tion to our readers to feel that the funds subseribed towards the ‘St. John Relief and Aid Society’? are being judiciously distributed, we made full inquiries re- garding the management of the Society, and we have been at the pains to inspect the mode in which the Society conducts its operations. We shall endeavour to state fully the manner in which the gen- erous offerings for the relief of the suffer- ers are distributed.
The “ Rink’ has been appropriated by the Society; and there, every day and all day jong, ‘applications are made by the poor, the unfortunate, the victims of the great conflagration, That mistakes are oceasionaly made, cannot be doubted. But. the mistakes are upon the side of charity; and there are few instances ia which undeserving persons are relieved,
There are about seventy clerks empley~ ed~—under the control of the General Committee—and very patient ard paias- takiag they are.
When a “safferer’’ desires reliet, he presents himself. or herself, as the case may be, at the “ Loterviewers Office’’, and makes known what he wants to one his statement the
ot the clerks. From
following form is filled up :—

Have you ever applied and ~ Ais approvert?

A man named Ruel and another man named Frith —jeslous of the wellsmerited gratitude which the citizens eviace to- wards General Warner—obtained signi- tures to a requisition asking the Mayor to cali a meeting to consider the manner in which the Committee is disposing of the fuads eutrusted to it. At that meeting, held on Thursday last, Mr. Ruel com- plained that General Warner had been rude to him upon one occasion, and Mr. Frith complained that his representations had not reeeived that consideration which, in his opinion, they were entitled to. But the meeting heard their silly complaints with ill.concealed dissatisfuc~ tion. A resolution was’ unaoiinously passed expressing coufidence in the Gen- eral and in the Committe, And that resolution expressed not only the feeling of the meeting, but of ail St. Joho.

THE STIPENDIARSY MAGISTRATE
AND THE PATRIOT,
THE strictures of the Patriot are hardly worthy the notice the Stipendiary Magistrate gives them, The charge of the Patriot is grave only in ‘so far as it is belicved.—and no one believes the Patriot. The Stipendiary Magistrate was, we think, hardly justified in com- promising his dignity by paying the Patriot any attent on, » _—_——-—-_--o+ <> -o oe EMBRACED BY A SNAKE.—A singular occur, rence took place at Port Philip, Cumber- land, on Tuesday last.

METIROLIST
The doors of this fine church have been closed for th« last eight weeks; and its ins terior has un jergone « thorough “nd com- plete renovaiion, The appearance on en- tering is ver) striking and beautiful—per- haps unsurps sed by any thing to be seen stant church in the Lower spacious Gothic ceiling and the walis ave been escoed in imita- tion of stucco work. ‘ibe ground-work of the ceiling is of a hight blue, with mouldings of stone color intersecting each other and forming panels—in the Gothic style of architecture. Around the edges of these panels, and giving to them an elegant and {ished apperrance, lesves, in mitations of Mosaic work, are painted, The mouldings, by the use of light and shade, appear to stand out in relief and the metres, where they Intersect each other,
are so exqiisitely shaded that’ tie most practised eye would <3 them to be projecting from @he fiyt” sure free. A part, which to us seem- ed more interesting and striking®than apy other, is that where the space between the two elliptic arches is supposed to rest on the capitalofacoiumu. he capital is n perspective,and -eems to project square aut from the walls about. eight inches. The panels on the walls have an insular appearance, and the shelf at the lower part is so deceptive that one is almost tempted to lean upon it for support. The ground work of the walls is of stone eolor—piv- ing them a chaste and elegant appearance. The frontsct the galleries, and the pews beidw, match in color. The wails, and the church, taken, ail together, look superb. An organ is the only .thing required to make the Frick Chureh one of the most ties:rable places we have seen in which to worship. "Our Methodiet friends seem to iuave gone back further than the pcimitive Methouists, and to b3aye caught some of tha apisitef David when be was moved to build a magnificent bouse for the Lord, Tne improvements were made by Mes:rs, Bottani and Rusea, Artiste, Freseo Paint- evs ably assisted by Thomas Alley, Esq. Messrs. W. Dodd, F.W. Mocre,and Lemuel Poole were the Committee who coliected the money necessary to carry Gut these marked improvements. RE-OPENING SERVICE, The Church was ra-opened yesterday, If has sittings for about sixteen hundred persoas; and will, if crowded, hold two thousand, Every seat was flied, Rev. Mr. Cowperthwatte gave out the re-opening ny mn:

Rev. Mr. Smatiwood offered up prager, Rev. Mr. Cowperthwaite then read—as a tirst lesson-—tie beautiful psalm com-
mencing,— -*The heavens declare the giory of the
Lord snd the firmament sheweth his handy work,” And ending, * Let the word of my mouth and the medis tat.on of my heart be always accept- able in thy sight, Ob Lord, my strength and my redeeme:.’’: fy kr the second jessea he read part of the first chapter of the Acts ct the Apostles: ‘lane weil-known byma, “ @ome jet us join our cheerful songs,”

was sung; and thea THY REV. DR, DOUGLASS turned to the 19th chapter and 10th verse of the Book of Revelations, and read, — « For the tes mony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”
| From this text he preached a grand ser-
mon—one of the most eloquent, wa ven- tifre ‘9 say; ever delivered in Charlotte~ town, We wil endeavor, in to-morrow’s iseue, to give our readers some idea of it. While a collection was being taken up,:
