Mr. EMor: Much has been said of late years abont ‘-'old fashioned Methodism;" bnt in no plaee hare I seen it more etrong ly developed in form and spirit, than in Wesley OhapeL It numbers abont166 members, composed almost entirely of the laboring classes, many of whom are females—girls and widows— who derive their support Ann the labor of their ova hands. The present year it hat paid 9700 to its pastor, save the last install ment, which will oome in early in December. It has also paid the Bishop’s claim, 910, the Presiding Elder’s assessment, 940, for Sab* bath-school pnrpeaes, over 9100, for inci dental expenses, 9100, a monthly oolleetion of several'dollars to the poor, and some thing for missions; the whole amount making near 91,000. With fewer members they have already subscribed 9900 for another year. How does this compare with wealthy country and town churches of as many members, where it is so hard to raise from two to five hundred dollars—or with large city chinches of 400 and 600 members, where 92,000 is almost an intolerable bur den? System is the key to their success at Wes 1 y Chapel. 'Each one subscribes so ranch j»-r mouth. Aud these amonnts range from teu cents to W per month. We havsoo active Board of Stewards, and an effleisat* sorps of class leaders. Each leader, several of whom are stewards, has his class, over which he watches financially, temporally and spiritually within the par view sf his office; and it is the duty of each leader to collect the monthly subscriptions of his class, and pay them rver to the Treas urer once per month, m least. At the regular church meeting which comes off the 1st of every month, the Treasurer settles up with bis pastor, gas bills, sexton’s fee, etc., so that no heavy arrears impede the machinery. This church holds a quarterly love-feast, the church-meeting once per month, an of ficial meeting every month, a weekly prayer meeting, and a weekly class meeting every Sabbath- morning. And all of these means of graoe are well attended. How is this for old fashioned Methodism?” “The best of ail is, God is with us.” For three months, he has poured out His Spirit in a constant revival influence. Almost weekly have aoukheen professedly bA into the kingdom of Christ The drainage upon us by deaths^ removals and other pansea, has been heavy--but we keep our own. Infe rior church accommodations hinder our growth—but, the Lewd will provide.” The labor of years ought to be harvested.

Bnt this much, we do know,—that on our arrival here after Conference, we found no parson age, and only a subscription for the build iag of one, amounting to tome five or six hundred dollars, a part of which Only could be relied on. Bnt by hard work the brethren and friends here have built a very eomforta Me parsonage this jear, and have it partial]; furnished and neatly paid for. We have thought it beat to Saaks this statement now, lest s hin we make otur report at Confer ence, some might think our people here, over neaiooe on the parsonage question. D. t). Cox, Paaior.

Mselay, O.D., gives e detailed account of the commencement of active opposition to the missionaries in the neighbor hood of Foochow, Chins. As far as the city itself is concerned, the anti-mis sionary excitement seems to have passed Its olimax, and to be subsiding. But it is raging in the country districts with great er violence than it ever did in the city. Two chapels and one bookstore in the outlying districts have been pulled to pieces, and the foundation of another chapel, which the Christians had laid, has been torn up. by the mob. Four Christians have already been cruelly beaten, and the enemy now threat eue the utter extacminattoa of all who wor ship Oodttd batters on tbs Lord 7< V OfariA At present, the excitement ia great est in the Kucheng end Ohengloh Districts, end it ia there thet the chapels and book stores referred to above here been destroyed; bat the inflammatory rumors ere spreading rapidly into other diatriete, where Christian societies have been gathered. We have re i oeived letters from our preachers in the Sienyu, Piootien, Hokohiang, Minch’iang, and Nanning Diatriota, advising us of the threatening aspect of affairs in those places, and soliciting our prayers. It is very affec ting to read their expressions of cheerful confidence in God while the infuriated mobs are howling around their dwellings.” The origin of this excitement ia found in the slanderoua circulate about the Christians which are distributed in China, and to which ve have already referred. “One thing,” adds Dr. Maclay, I think ia certain Pro testant missions in China are not a failure. Another thing I record with hnmble grati tadd, and that is, there ere hundreds of heroic souls connected with our own mis sion, who, for Christ’s sake, take joyfully of the spoiling of their goods, who submit cheerfully to stripes and imprisonment, and who at their master’s call are ready to love not their Uvea unto the death.” Students Fbox China.—An editorial note in the hat Tale College Covrant states that the Chinese Government has decided. to educate a portion of the young men of China in the language and laws of this country, and in the manners and customs of the peo ple. An appropriation of $1,500,000 has been made to meet the expenses necessary to be incurred within the next ten years. A Chinese gentleman, Mr. Ynng Wing, who was educated in Yale Colletre, has been en gaged to take charge of thirty of these young men to the United States. They are de signed to become students of the University, and will probably enter Yale College, foUow ing the course, of Mr. Ynng Wing. Each year this number is to be increased by the addition of thirty new students. Resist the temptation of circulating ill reports; spread them not at all.

The Trouble with Spain—Matters Look. Warlike—-Active Naval Preparations. Under date of November 20th, the Baltimore Sun's Washington correspondent telegraphs as follows: Official advices received by the government yes terday and to-day Indicate that we are Involved in no inconsiderable difficulties with Spain, whose officials la Cnba have for some time shown an ot ter indifference to the protection of the life and property of American citizens. The Caban volun teers there have maltreated Americans and driven them within a recent period ont of Havana. This government, aware of this, has repeatedly repre sented this condition of affidrs to the authorities at Madrid, but without any other result than promises of early action, which were never ful filled. Yesterday affairs became so threatening at Havana that the United States Consul-general tele graphed that American citizens and officials need ed the immediate protection of the protection of the government. The matter was brought to the attention of the Cabinet to-day, and an armed fleet of four or five vessels has been ordered with all possible dispatch to Havana, to be placed in im mediate communication with the Consul-general. The commanding officer of the fleet has instruc tions, as Is learned from an entirely trustworthy source, in case the Cuban volunteers destroy the life and property of American residents, to demand immediate apology and reparation, and If they are refused, to Are the guns of the fleet on the city of Havana. The gunboat Nlpsic, now at Pensacola, will leave this evening, while the Terror, there un dergoing repairs has been ordered into commission to be dispatched at once to Havana also.

Owing to the rigid censorship over the telegraph at Havana, but little is known here of the immediate events which have compelled the Consul-general to appeal for assist ance. Bnt the condition of aflhlrs with Spain arising ont of the Hornet difficulty and the treat ment of Americans in Cnba Is sufficiently shown by the diplomatic correspondence to warrant the government in the startling measures it lias taken.
