FORTUNATE EscApE.-A letter from Beaufort
Informs US that the large congregation OF BaPtsts
in that place have mercifnlly escaped catastro-
phe the very thought of which fills the imasina-
ton with horror. The house in which they have
worshipped for many years is Of tabby. The build
ing was erected during the last century, and was
then very small. The increase of members has re-
quired tive enlarsements-so that the Paceis now
capable of holdisg perhaps thousand persons.
The consequence of these additions is, that walls
originally designed for small roof have had to
receive a heavy one, and this superintendent load,
with the crowds in the galleries, have caused the
walls 10 give way 1t was by a very slight cir
cumstance that the attention of one or two persons
was attracted to the state of the building-when
it was found that for some time past hundreds of
people have been assembling, sabbath after sab
bath, in house the point of falling.
