New Wesleyan Methodist Chapel.—This beautiful and truly magnificent edifice in Teviot Dale was opened, for divine service, on Sunday and Monday, the 10th and 11th of September. Under the Chapel two large rooms are prepared for the use of 800 children, belonging to the Methodist Sunday School; and an additional gallery erected in the chapel for their accommodation during the hours of public worship.

Public worship commenced on Sunday morning. The Liturgy of the Church of England, which is to be regularly used as a part of the morning service, was read in a most impressive manner by the Rev. R. Newton; after which the Rev. A. Clarke, L. L. D. delivered a truly excellent sermon, in the course of which he stated, the very great pleasure it afforded him to witness the introduction of the Liturgy in that place, and expressed his ardent desire that he might live to see it adopted in every place where the Methodists have a morning service. The Rev. R. Newton preached in the afternoon, and the Rev. Jabez Bunting, A. M. in the evening.

The whole expense of the building is estimated at £11,000, including the purchase of the adjoining land, which is to be used as a burial ground. Nearly £4000 had been previously subscribed towards the erection of this building, and notwithstanding the pressure of the times, the very liberal sum of £550 [$2444] was collected at the several services connected with the opening.—Stockport (Eng.) Advertiser.
