Boston, December 23.  The new Baptist Meeting-House in this
town being finished was opened yesterday.  We hear that the
exercises of the day were introduced by singing an Anthem
taken out of the 122d psalm. . . The solemnity was then
concluded with a second Anthem well adapted to the occasion. 
The singing was performed incomparably well by a select
company, which gave great satisfaction to a crowded
audience.
