 NORTH CONSOLATION OF LITCHFIELD

 COUNTY.

 7othe Editor of the Connecticut O6seruer.

 DEAR SIR,-I have just returned from the annual meeting of the North Association of Litchfeld County. Never did attend 80 interesting a meeting of this association be- fore... The usual complaint of prevailing coldness and indifference on the subject of re- ligion, among our congregations, not a single brother present had occasion to make. A spirit of revival, which may be defined to be an unusual spirit of piety and brotherly love, appeared to animate every heart present, and was manifest in all the prayers and dellbera- tions of the body. The following is an extract from their report on the state of reli- zion.

 "The Association embraces within its lim- its 19 churches, 1S of which have at present settled pastors. Since the last annual report one pastor has been removed by death, one dismissed from his pastoral charge, and two settled. The additions to our respective churches during the year past, amount in all, tits estimated, from seventy-fiye to one hun dred.

 "The present state of things among us, in a moral and religious respect, is interesting and animating to the heart that loves the cause of Zion. The shower of divine grace, which has been poured out on the region north of us, has extended also to us, and several of our churches have already shared largely in its refreshing influence. In Salisbury, Sharon North Canaan, South Canaan, and Norfolk, there has been for about two months past, that degree of religious excitement which is usually denominated a revival;" and in each of the places the work of grace appears to be ILl d UTURi cSSlNC StAICs !

The churches of Winchester, Tor ringford, Ellsworth, South Cornwall, and Warren, the Spirit of God is likewise awak- ening from their moral apathy, imparting to them an unsual spirit of prayer and brotherly love, and affording them the anin1ating pros. pect of an approaching revival. The church in Colebrook has been in this state of religious excitement for several months past. It may he asserted without exaggeration, that in ev- cry church and congregation within our linn- its-with perhaps single exception-there is at present an unusually interesting state of re- Iigious feeling. At Canton, where revival has recently commenced, the Lord is now pouring out his Spirit in copious effusions. The place itself appears to be rendered very solemn by the special presence of the AL mighty.

 The late resignation in the British Cabinet have called into action the talents of the wits of London, who are by no means sparing of their shafts. One of the best articles we have seen, is the annexed from the London Morning Chronicle, which will be enjoyed by our readers, particularly those who are acquainted with the characters of the satiris-
