THE PRIMITIVE METHODISTS.—The annual meeting of the Primitive Methodists was held on the Boro’ Hill on Sunday last, in accordance with their usual custom. At 1 o’clock about 20 men, with a few females, assembled and proceeded down College-street, up High-street and through the Square en route for their ‟camp meeting.” The weather was delightfully fine and drew together a large number of people—some by accident and many by curiosity,—to witness their devotions throughout the afternoon.
