MefhtyMstis ( Wesleyan ) Revival in the IVcst of England . { We give the following without a siHgle comment ; taken from an 8 vo quRtter of a , sheet , printed by Ric haulsuns , York . Ed . ]
Copy of an Interesting Letter from Mr . Wm . Henshatv , Methodist Preacher , Plymouth Dork , to Mr . Wm . Bramwell , Methodist Preacher , fiii * s tall . Pit / mouth Dock , March 10 th , 1814 Oear Brother
I write to tell you the joyful news of which my heart is full . The Lord lias of late poured out his Spirit upon US at Dock , in the most gracious manner . On the l 6 th of January last , at a Love-Feast , eleven persons found peace with <* od » and many who had notes of admission , were deeply convinced of sin . At another Love-feast ,
the following week , about twenty more professed to experience a sense of pardoning * love ; and numbers more were convinced of sm , who have since been made very happy in the love of God . Almost every day , some become strongly affected by a sight of their sin and danger , and some rejoice for liaviug obtained the glorioais liberty of the children of God . We have
appointed seven new class leaders , and suppose , that during the last two months , not less than one hundred tod fifty persons have begun to meet iu class iff Dock only . At ene newformed class the last evening , where I Renewed the tickets , forty persons being present , about fourteen were in
great distress , five or six of whom experienced redemption through the blood of Jesus , and were gloriously ex & l tm ^ in God their Saviour , when I left them at grayer , being : myself quite exhausted . The fatigue I have had of late , and the exertions which the
cries of distressed souls have produced , would on other occasions have ' quite overcome me ; but C * od bath girded me with strength for the battle , and our invisible adversaries seem to quit the field . The oldest Methodists in Dock have seen notlnug of this msgbty display of sovereign t * race before .
Hut a tnii < ch more extraordinary work still is now carrying on in Cornwall , the centre of which ia Redruth . ft l * ave ^ received four letters on the

subject , two of them from preaefrera on the spot : 1 will give you the sum of the whole : for the extent arrd rHpidity of it , it exceeds sll fovnter revivals known in that county . Ii beg-all on the 17 th or 18 th of Fehmaiy . tfreh * was an unusual influence felt at tic Loire - '
feast , which continued until three oVl » ck the next morning . Sunday , Feb . 20 th , at Kedrutb * the minister preached at two in the afternoon , f r & tft Acts the 2 nd chapter , on the Descent of the Spirit and the whole assembly seemed to be baptized with celestial
fire , and the service continued day and night , for eight successive daya and nights , with only four boars intermission . Hundreds were crying for mercy at once , and hundreds mar & rejoicing in the God of their salvation . Mr . Truscott took down the names of
Five Hundred Persons , who professed to have experienced a sense of parw doning love in the course of the week ; February 27 th » Sunday evening , the spirit of conviction spread like fire among stubble , reaching to persons of both sexes and all ages . In a few days it extended to Bridge , then .
Tucking Mill , then Well Rose an £ Troan , Camborn , Venponds , Carniqk ^ and Guiunup . In several plcuesy service has continued day and night , and upwards of two thousand persons , withi { the past ten days , have been made happy in the Lord , including careless siunt rs , and those who were in society before . This bleased work is not con « -
fined to the poor . No * , men of fortune and of fashion have lieen alike the subjects of it : Lawyers , surgeons , anc | L respectable tradesmen , have kneeled down and implored mercy with the lowest classes of society , and have obtained it . For some time all
business in the town was suspended , even little was done on the market days , but the chapels were crowded d ^ y and night ; thither the tribes go up to worship ; the mountain of the JLovdV house is established above the tops of the mountains , and exalted over the hills .
