The past week has been a season ofpecu liar interest to Christians in this city, as well as to the multitudes assembled here from broad. It is believed. that on no similar Oc casiun so large number of clergymen have been assembled,-probably between 200 and 25O.

 The meetings have been generally crowded to overfiowing and we know that we ex- press the views of the members when we say. that, taken as whole, they have never been surpassed on this side of the Atlantic. A. mong the speakers will be found the names of some of our ablest men, both ministers and laymen and it is usual on these occasions to expect their highest efforts. This expecta ton has not been disappointed and yet, in speaking eff these performances, we have ab- stained from special commendation, because, having once begun,we should not know when to stop.

 In order to lay before our readers, the present week, full account of the proceed ings, we have been at the labor of writing out a large part of the contents of this paper with the pen. The abstracts which we have given of the Reports, will be found repletc with en- couraging facts and comparing them with the reports of the same Societies the previ- ous year, it will be seen that in almost ev- cry instance, there has been a remarkable advance.

 The American Bible Society shows an in- crease of $1O, ,989 O5 above the receipts of the former year,-the whole amount being S75,- S79 93; and an increase of 37, ,55O in the num- Der of Bibles and Testaments printed, the whole number being 118,75O.

 Apart from the funds received for scholar ships, the receipts of the American Educa- ton Society have increased in the sum ofS2,- 224 53, exclusive of what has been received by Branches not reported. The total re- ceipts,w the exception mentioned,are S33, O17 5s. The number of benefciares taken under the Society's patronage the past year. is 91-previous year, S5.-Whoe number of benefciaries, about 800.
