On Mr Skinner, the Postmaster at Bal timore,. entering the Post Office at an ear ly hour, on Tuesday morning last, one of the Clerks handed tahim a letter without any superscription, which was supposed, from the circumstance of having the ad ertisement attached to it, to; contain the 812,000 advertised by Mr- Matthews, as having been lost between the Steamboat and his residence On examination, it was found to contain gll,500 the per son depositing it in the Post Office having deducted the &500 offered for its recove ry. Really, Mr Matthews was born un der a lucky star. by a million of quarters, - which is eight million bushels, than in the preceding year- We should suppose, therefore, if when the stock on hand in 1827, was 1,768,245 quarters of grain, and the har vest a good one, it was necessary to im port 51 1,344 quarters of foreign grain, that in 1828, when the stock on hand was only 755,274 quarters, and the harvest of that year deficient at least one-fourth, the imports of foreign grain and bread-stuffs, roust be extraordinarily large to meet the consumption, and keep down the prices until next harvest Trade of Rotterdam -The proper au thorities of this City have given notice, that they have had a Canal cut from Hel- voetsluys to Rotterdam, 21 feet deep and sufficiently capacious for Vessels of War, so that, in future, vessels from Sea can pass up this Canal to the City, without breaking bulk, or being under the neces sity, as heretofore, of employing lighters.

JVashingtorCs Birthday, was observed in Paris, by a Public Dinner, at which Isaac Qox Barnet, Esq U. States Consul presided, assisted by Samuel J. Fisher, Esq. of Philadelphia. General Lafayette, and Messrs. G. W. Lafayette, Levasseur and Lastoyrie (the General's Grandson) and our Minister Mr. Brown, were pre sent. Many patriotic Toasts were given, and a handsome Address was made by General Lafayette, on a reference; in one of the toasts, to his services ia the Ame rican Revolution, Pope Lea 12th In the Foreign news lately inserted ia the Register, it was stated that a new Pope would be shortly elected but nothing was said of the de cease of the late Pope.

It was in the year 1729, just a century ago,that John Wesley, aided by two or three of his fellow students at the University of Oxford, commenced the work of reforming the morals of the great body of the people of England, and especially those of the' lowest and most neglected classes. At that timf, the Religious Teachers of the Country were chiefly those of the Established Church, and but little pains were taken to induce disorderly persons, who kept at a dis tance from Church, and any thing like Religion, to change their course ; and the number of these was far fuom beins incon siderable. JFesley, and his associates at College, moved by this state of things, began by visiting places in the neighbour hood, and holding meetings wherever they could find opportunity. But this great Reformer of Morals, at length commenced his plan of establishing Itinerary Preaching throughout the Kingdom, which, at first met with much opposition. The travel ling Preachers having no established places in which to address the people, held forth in the Streets,, or in any place where they could assemble a few persons together, and were frequently much an noyed and abused, by boys and disor derly persons, pelting them with dirt and other missiles. But nothing could pre vent Wesley from pursuing his object. His zeal and perseverance, and the zeal and perseverance of his disciples, over came every obstacle, and at this time the Methodist Meetings, in many parts of Eng land, are the most numerously attended. Houses of Worship. Nor did his zeal stop here, Mr. Wesley determined to vi sit this Country, and rouse up the neglect ers of Religious Worship here also, and the present situation of the Methodist Church throughout the Union, shews the complete success which crowned his ef forts. And this venerable and excellent man, had the gratification to live to see the fruit of his labours, and in his old age, to visit his Churches throughout Great-; Britain, where thousands of his disciples met to worship their Maker, and 'where, like an Apostle, ne could gratefully say, These are my Children in the Lord ; it is from my labours, and from the laboursof those whom I have induced to travel aJ preach the Gospel, that these worshipping Assemblies have been gathered chirfly from the offscouring of the people." f v Extraordinary Passage.
