NEW ENGLISH CHURCH IN COPENHAGEN. Tha Resident English Congregation in Copenhagen labors under the inability, from its limited number, to provide House fit for the Worship of Almighty God according to our beautifal Ritual. Its position is, however, highly imortant from the multitude of our counirymen, travelers and seamen, visiting tbis capital, from tbe increasing trade etween England and Denmark, and from the English Enterprise now occupied in various public works, whereby sany men of science and mechanics are brought into these parts; so that the migratory as well as the stationary nglish population must every year be much avgmented. Its position is important, also, as being an outpost of the inglican Church which it would seem the duty of all its faithfal membors to provide for with becoming decency, that L may in a fitting manner occupy a place among, and be appreciated and examined by, the Churches which sarround . Apart, therefore, from the merely secular consideration of our present place of worship being totally unworihy of he English name and nation, a deep sense prevails among us that tbe time has nöw come for our making a strong flort to provide a Holy Place for Divine Worship here. The room in which we now assemble was, before we rented t, used as a synagogue. The Jews, actuated by a feeling anvalogous to that which prompts ourselves to tha present tep, have erected at a considerable expense a synagogue of their own, a building which is considerad one ofthe ornanents of this city. It may also be worthy of remark, that very Congregation in Copenbagen has a church of its wo, tho English alona excepted; and that the Russian Greck Church, tho without what may be called a congregaion, is now raising a temple in honor of God. . A plaea of worship suited to our wants and the demands alluded to may, it is considered; be erected, the site acluded, for from Lstr. 3000 to Lstr. 4000. ; s With Christian hope and confidence, then, wo appeal to our countrymen and others at homs and abroad, for heip, n this our enterprise, as both tho number and wealth of tho Resident Congregation are too limited for carrying out ur plan by any means which can be gathered among ourselves. . . . Any sum, however small, immediate or annual, or for a term of years, will bo most thankfaliy received. Such sums may bo sent to any of the undersigned, to Herr Iversen, Bookseller, Copenhagen, J I Kjöbmagergade, opposite he Post Office or to the Editors of The Morning Coronicle or The Guardian., who will kindly acknowledge any contribations forwarded to them.
