SAINT PAUL'S.

The act was procured for this chapel at the same time as for that of St.

Mary's; but it was not erected till 1779, upon a spot of ground given

by Charles Colmore, Esq; upon the declivity of a hill, not altogether

suitable for the elegant building it sustains, which is of stone--plain

beauty unites with strength.

This roof, like that of St. Mary's, appears also too full. The steeple

intended for this useful edifice, will do honour to the modern stile of

architecture, whenever money can be procured to erect it; which at

present is only delineated upon paper.

Chaplain, the Rev. William Toy Young.--Income nearly as St. Mary's.
