Religious,--On Sabbath last, Rev. Mr. Brown, the recently appointed pastor of the Third Street Methodist Episcopal Church, filled the pulpit of that church in the morning. The effort we have heard highly complimented, and the congregation seem much pleased with the "new preacher." At night, at the same church, Rev. Mr. Cowles, agent of Randolph Macon College, preached to a crowded auditory. As this congregation are at present collecting funds for the erection of a new church edifice, their liberality was not taxed in behalf of the College endowment scheme, for which Mr. C. has already realized the handsome sum of ninety-seven thousand dollars, and leaving only three thousand dollars to be raised to place the College on a substantial basis so far as pecuniary matters are concerned.

At the Fourth Street M. E. Church, Rev. Mr. Cowles preached in the morning. Mr. C. did not take up a public collection, but announced that he would remain in the city until Wednesday, and any persons disposed to contribute to the object of his mission, could do so, by calling on him personally. Rev. Mr. Langhorne, Presiding Elder of this District, preached at night.

In the absence of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Walker, the pulpit of the Methodist Protestant Church was filled in the morning by the Rev. Mr. Jennings, and at night by Rev. Dr. Thomson.

Dr. Thomson also preached at Temperance Hall at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The other churches in the city were supplied by their regular pastors.
