NEW MOVEMENT AMONGST THE ssFRIRNDs. THE
Society of Friends in this city, appear be dvesting


themselves of some OF their sectional peculiaries.


They have lately made some improvements about
their meeting houses, which would some time since


have been regarded with horror. They have a


neat iron railing in front Of that on Rose street,


and also on the front and side of that on Hester


and Elizabeth streets. This suits the age much


better than board fence, or brick Wall They
also seem disposed to abandon some of their pecu-
larltes in other respects which have distinguished
them from other religious denominations. We
have been informed that at one of their meetings
some weeks ago, they adopted some regulation
tor the government OF their social parties during
the winter, which usually commence, il was said, /,
about Christmas. II was put to vote and carried
by large majority, that instead OF continuing till
one or two O'Clock in the morning, as has hereto.
fore been the practice, they shall in future collect
at from TO half past o'clock, and break up from


TOTO H. On these occasions, the display is costly
aad elegant, and the table is sumptuousy supplied
music and dancing are not always excluded
They have also made an alteration in the time for
assembling In their religious meetlngsfr0m ten to


halt past ten O'Clock, in accordance with the Gus
tom OF their fellow citizens CT other denomlna-
lions; and they are fast changing their costume.
1t their meetings in the Rsse street church on a
Sunday morning, the aspect of the congregation
does not indeed much differ in external from that
assembled in ST. Paul's.


These improvements have taken place since the


death OF Elias Hlcks-his extensive influence and


his firm attachment to old customs, efiectualiy pre-


vented such change during his lite. When the


meeting house on Rose street was finished, II had
a handsome cornice on the front, but through the


influence Of Mr.. Hicks il was taken down.
