The grade of West Fayette street, from the city limits to Fulton street, has been a source of contention to the property holders thereon for several years, and is not yet settled. The first branch of the city council, however, last evening adopted a resolution directing the city commissioner to change the grade of the street at his discretion, in such manner as may most conduce to the pub-I'c pood.

An ordinance was also introduced Which makes the owners of property desirin the alteration of grade responsible for the costs'that may accrue and all damages that may be sustained by any one. The council are determined to settle the matter finally, if it be possible. Burglary.

The aggregate loss would be about $110. Entrance "was effected by prying off the fastening of the cellar door, and then removing the sash of a window conducting to the upper stories. Fatal Occurrence. On Tuesday last, a farmer, whose nsme we were unable to learn, was run over and killed by a train of cars at North East, Cecil county. The unfortunate man was, at the time of the accident, engaged in unloading a wagon of flour, and hearing the whistle of the approaching cars he endeavored to guide his team off the track, when the train came on and almost instantly deprived him of life.

Before Judge Stump. Milton AAhitney, Attorney for the State, prosecuting.

The foUowing business occupied yesterday State vs. AVm. Gwynn, a colored man about 33 years old, indicted on the charge of bigamy in marrying one Amelia Emery, colored, his "first wife, Margaret Gwynn, being alive. The demurrer to the indictment heretofore made was withdrawn by the counsel for the defense. Rev.

John Jordan, colored, testified that he knew Gwynn; witness officiates as a clergyman. AATitness first saw Gwynn at Squire Morrison's office was called there by a police officer to officiate as a clergyman some two years ago. Counsel for the defense desired the Court to instruct the witness that he was not bound to testify to anything that would criminate himself the act of assembly making it a penalty of five hundred pounds current money for any minister to marry a couple without having a license. The State's Attorney replied that there was no testimony as yet that there was no license that the defense only made that the presumption; the law, on the contrary, presuming that there was a license. The court held that the act of assembly did not apply to colored persons, and therefore a colored minister was not liable to the fine for marrying, colored persons without a license.

The witness must therefore testify. AA'itness resumed. Is a minister of the African Methodist Episcpal Church. On the 10th of April, two years ago, (1S51) witness married. Gwynn to Margaret Smith, at the office of 'Squire Morrison.

Officer Roberts and the justice were present. Did not know Gwynn before, and has never seen him since thentill'in court here. By defense. The man, Gwynn, was brought froriijail by the officer to marry the woman, lie did not object to marrying the woman did it of his own free wiU. Gwynn went away with the woman, after the marriage, in company together.

Rev. Norval AVilson, minister of the Maryland M. E. Church, testified that he did not know Gwynn or Amelia Emery, (the second alleged wife.) Could not identify either of them, or of having married them. Samuel Day testified that he arrested Gwynn for bigamy, and he confessed that he had been married twice to Margaret Smith and Amelia Emery.

Amelia Emery a spry yellow girl, about sixteen years old testified that she knew Gwynn. By the State. AVas you ever married to Gwynn? AA'itness. I don't know about the marrying -part, exactly, sir. By State.

AA'here did yon go to get married? AA'itness. AYent to a house in Broadway. By State. Do you know the name of the minister? AATitness. No.

AA'enttolivewithAA'illiam(Gwynn.) The girl appeared much confused, and so reluctant to testify against Gwynn that nothing could be made out of her examination.

On the question being raised by the defense, the court decided that the admissions of Gwynn could, not go to the jury as evidence against him, in the absence of proof of the actual marriage of the accused and A melia Emery, and therefore instructed the jury to acquit the prisoner. A'erdict of "not accordingly. AA'arrington and Falconer for tlie defense. State vs. John Chaney, indicted on the charge of assaulting and beating Mary Collins.

Chaney, who was intoxicated, assaultd a sweep-master at Fish Market Space, and in kicking at him. it was alleged, struck Mary in the side.

LETTERS FROM EGYPT. BY OTS EASTERN CORRESroXDEXT. Correspondence of the Baltfmore Sun. Cairo, January 29, 1356. Excursion to HeliopoTis The Gate of Bab-e-Xasr The Palace of Abbas Pasha The Fertile of Goshen The Tree Under tchich the Holy Family Reposed The Mirae-vlouslVell The Ruined Walls of Heliopolis, the On of the Scriptures Its Historical Interest The Obelisk The Tombs of the Circas-sianMamelooks 2te Specimens of Arabesque Tracery The Streets of Cairo by Day Costume of th Women Their Beauty Early Marriages The Gahicazees or Dancing Girls of Egypt.

A pleasant excursion is it to Heliopolis. Traversing the heart of the city, affording an excellent opportunity of examining the quaint buildings and the curious and inotely crowd that fill its streets, we pass through the antique-looking gateway of Bab-e-Nasr, a massive Gothic arch, flanked' by two square stone towers black from age. Situated in the extreme eastern quarter, it is the one through which the pilgrims pass when starting from Mecca, and consequently is regarded with reverence by all true believers. Emerging from the noisy and busy streets of the city, we suddenly come upon the silent and barren wastes of the dessert, through the deep sands of which we are obliged to plod for some distance our weary way; and to add if possible to the dreariness of "the s'ceiTe, we pass through the desolate and unshaded grove yards of the Arabs. This sudden transition from life to stillness is indeed most striking, and never fails to impress one forcibly when making excursions from the eastern side of the city.

There is not a shrub not a green spot to relieve the sombre monotony of the scene. Turning to the south-west we gradually reach the green border of the fertile valley of the Nile, and pass the beautiful and extensive palace of the late Viceroy Abbas Pasha. 'Tis built in the Italian style, and stands upon the edge of the desert, a singular position for a regal residence when there were so many more beautiful ones in the neighborhood. It was however his favorite one, and where he died some two years since, supposed by many to have been strangled. The aspect of the country has now entirely changed, and we ride along lanes fringed with, shady sycamore or blooming scented accacias, and groves filled with oranges, citron, and olives.

The change appears almost magical, from dusty and heated atmosphere, we are suddenly transported into a cool and refreshing one, ladened with fragrant odours. Extending towards the Nile, irrigated with little rivulets of limpid water, were fertile fields teeming with rich crops. It was truly an oasis in the the desert. I could not but step to enjoy for awhile the exquisite loveliness of the scene, and gaze upon the fertile plains of Goshen given by Joseph to his brethren, 'the best of the land," the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded." What changes has not the world experienced since the Patriarchs encamped with their flocks upon these plains, yet they remained the ul and blooming After passing the little Arab village of Mata-reh, and having turned slightly from our road to the right, we reach a small garden of citrons and pomgranates in which stands the celebrated 'tree of the Madonna," under the spreading-branches of which tradition states Joseph and Mary reposed when they fled into Fgypt. 'Tis a venerable Sycamore, its gnarled and hollow trunk covered with the names of pious pilgrims and its branches torn and twisted by many a storm.

One might readily, without any great stretch of the imagination, believe it to be the identical one which sheltered the holy fugitives. Near by is the Shemes the miraculous well" which supersition asserts suddenly appeared when the "Holy F'amily" visited Egypt. The blinded oxen were toiling at the large wheel drawing water to irrigate the neighboring gardens. I stooped down to drink from the same fountain which perhaps had been touched by sacred lips. Here it was that the celebrated "balm or triiead" brought lrom the Gardens ot Jericho by Cleopatra was cultivated, and no where else in Egypt did this balsam tree flourish.

The spot is altogether so beautiful and rural, that it might have easily tempted with its shade and solitude the tired and thirsty traveller after a long and wearv journey across the sandy desert. Still riding through fertile fields, about one mile farther, we reached the ruined foundations of the walls of the once famous city of Heliopolis the On of the Scriptures. In places covered with sand, in others overgrown with shrubbery, 'tis difficult to trace them, yet judging from those still visible, the city could not have occupied a great extent of ground. Its glory has departed, and but one single monument remains to attest the former splendor and magnificence, and to mark the spot of Egypt's ancient seat of learning. Solitary and alone, its base surrounded by the green and slimy waters of a small pool filled with frogs, stands the last obelisk of renowned Heliopolis.

This is a single pointed shaft of red. granite, about seventy feet high, its sides covered with hieroglyphics, said to be one of the most ancient monuments in Egypt. The wasps have nearly covered it with a coating of black mud, giving it a very singular appearance. Fruitful as this land is scenes linked with the past, there is not a spot fraught with such interesting historic memories either to the biblical or classical scholar as the site of ancient Heliopolis the "City the Sun." It was here in the luxurious palace of the Pharaohs that Joseph found a safe asylum. It was here he was tempted bv the voluptuous wife of Potiphar and wedded the lovely Asenath.

It was here that the venerable law-giver of God's chosen people learned his first lessons of wisdom and philosophy from the Egyptian priesthood, witnessed the slavery and sufferings of his countrymen, and meditated upon the plan of their final deliverance from this land of bondage. Attracted by the renown of her sages' and philosophers 'twas here that Pythagoras," Plato, Aristotle and a host of others came to pursue amidst her halls of science and learning those studies, the fruits of which they have so eloquently transmitted to posterity in their immortal works. Of all this splendor but one vestige remains, and the miserable mud hovels of an Arab village filled with filth, half-starved women and blear-eyed children occupies the site of the once splendid and magnificent temple of the Sun. Desolation broods over the scene. I strolled through some neighboring orange groves, and carried away a stick as a memento of the place.

The streets of Cairo by day and bv night present a striking contrast, the one all life and bustle, the other still and quiet. The great thoroughfares are constantly filled with a noise and mote-ly crowd through which it would be almost impossible for a stranger to push his way without the assistance of the donkey boys who are ever by the side of their little animals bawling at the people to clear the way for the Howadji. These quick and easy going little creatures are one of the features of the place, are always in demand and are to be met with in every quarter of the town. They are in fact the carriages, omnibuses and porters of the city. Owing "to the extreme narrowness of the streets, and the difficulty of getting through them, but few indulge in the luxury of a carriage.

None but the wealthy pashas and merchants use them and 'tis always ne-' cessary to have two saises running before the horses to clear the way. Not unf requently a string of camels groaning beneath their heavy burdens come plunging along driving pedestrians to seek shelter in some friendly door-way, or make themselves "small the wall. These pleasing little incidents tend very much to keep one on the qui vive. The people one meets with have a more oriental appearance than those of Constantinople, turbans are more fashionable and the robes more light and flowing. Blue is the prevailing color both with men and women.

The differently from those in Turkey, using neither the fer-idgii nor the zashmack. Upon the street they envelope their figures in a loose blue mantle, and cover their faces with a long narrow strip of muslin, fastened to the head dress by brass or copper rings, extending from the eyes to the feet. Should the lady be single her veil is white, and black if married But few of the Fellah women go veiled, concealing their faces by drawing the edge of their blue mantles across the lower part. These generally wear a profusion of gaudy brass brace lets, large ear-rings and not unfrequently a large brass ring in the nose. Some of them are exceedingly pretty, beautifully formed, and with feet and hands worthy of be'ing models for a Venus.

It has been a matter of surprise to me, where these beauties come from, especially when one sees during his excursions to the Arab villages rtotbing but dirty children and shrivelled has. Among the sandy and stony hills of Mokottan, about four miles from Cairo, are the remains of the "petrified forest," if pieces of petrified wood: scattered over the ground can be so termed. 'Tis however one of the "sights," and I rode through the sun and dust of the desert to see it and some specimens. The petrefactionsare very perfect and numerous, clearly indicating that large trees formerly stood where now not even a shrub is to be seen. Returningfromthemiscalled "petrefied forest," 1 visited the tombs of the Cir--, cassian Mamelooks, situated about a mile from' the the sands of the desert, thei domes and minarets forming conspicuous land marks upon the arid plain.

There are a considerable number, some well preserved, others delapidated. and form the last resting place of those mighty warriors whose rule in Egypt is one of the bright- est pages of hcr history. Though different in size the style of the architecture is strikingly the same, and presents some of the finest specimens of the pure Saracenic now extant. They generally consist of a square building with taperv dome supported by tall and graceful pillars, and frequently with a fantastic looking minaret. This Chief beauty is the exquisite finish of the delicate work which has been lavished upon them.

Women become nubile here at a very early aire. and it is by no means an uncommon thing to see; mothers scarcely fourteen years old. These early marriages and the frequency of divorce by no means tends to increase the morality of a pe'ople whose highest idea of virtue is "want of opportunity." Morbid the appetite of him who can desire to witness a second exhibition of the Gahwazees or dancing girls of Egypt, over whose lascivious motions some modern tourists have raved in "chaste descriptions." No picture, however vivid, will give so perfect an idea of their exhibitions as the simple statement that the sensual Turks have banished them from Cairo. S.

Further Particulars of the Bombardment Vera Crnz. We have already given a brief account of the recent "revolution" at Vera Cruz, which resulted in the city being bombarded from the castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, and the subsequent surrender of the fort. The movement was made in behalf of Tamirez, the owner of a silver mine, and a man of great wealth, who, at the head of a revolutionary party, lately compelled the city of Pue. bla to surrender, and subsequently dispersed 1,000 men sent out against him from the city of Mexico, by Alverez, in command of Gen. Wheat, an American.

A correspondent ran Americans of the New York Post, who was at Vera Cruz when the Castle "pronounced," thus writes under date of the 21st The first intimation I had of what was brewing was on being asked by an English resident how I relished the music of the morning. I asked, what music? The reply was: Why, of the balls from the castle. Further questioning disclosed the fact that the fortress of "San Juan d' Ulloa" had "pronounced" in favor of Haro Tamirez, and that. Salcera, the commandant of the castle, had ordered the shipping lying moored in the harbor to be removed, as at twelve o'clock he should commence to bombard the town, unless the flag of rebellion was hoisted, and Vera Cruz declared in favor Haro Tamirez. No one appeared to believe it; but still all business was suspended, and some persons were leaving the city.

Among them was your correspondent, who, though strongly advised to the contrary, thought (more particularly as he was accompanied by his wife) that discretion was the better part of valor. Accordingly, at half-past eleven, A. we embarked from the only wharf, and proceeded on board the American 'barque Wild Fire, Captain Marschalk. We had hardly arrived on board and were still, under the guns of the fort when they opened their batteries, sending their eighty-four pounder balls whizzing and crashing through the city. The aim of the gunners was for the custom-house and palace, and, of course, low; in fact, so low, that two of the balls came quite near to us; one in particular, not more than four yards from our stern.

Captain Marschalk insists that they fired at us, and we are almost tempted to agree with him, notwithstanding the apparent want of cause. That day, thirty of these tremendous balls were thrown into the city, one of which entered the room occupied by vour correspondent only two nights previous, and having passed through both walls, took off the leg of a servant in the dining-room. All this devastation produced no response from the city, when the chief of the castle, a bandit, Salcera by name, considering that he had done mischief enough for one day, ceased firing, with the threat that if the town did not surrender by noon of the next day, he would again bombard. Luckily for the foreign inhabitants, the French frigate Penelope was lying at Sacrificios, and that on the second day she got under weigh, stood up and anchored between the castle and town, and with men at quarters, ports up and guns run out, notified the chief of the revolution that if he attempted to fire again before the foreign residents had a chance to secure their property and -leave the city, he would in turn bombard and take the castle. This was a God-send to the governmental party, and a death-blow to the revolutionists, as the castle had but forty-eight hours provisions and the city could have time to prepare means of defence, which were pushed forward vigorously.

Things remained in this state for two or three days, the city party continually proposing to take the castle by storm each succeeding night, the American-born Wrheat, now a General in the Mexican service, offering to lead the storming party. Arrangements were daily made, but when Wheat would arrive at the rendezvous there would be no soldiers to support him. In the meantime the castle, containing a garrison of only one hundred and twenty men, were keeping at bay the National Guard of two thousand men, quartered in the city, as well as the whole Mexican navy, consisting of two steam-frigates, built by Butterfield, of New York, armed with twenty-four pound guns, and one hundred and sixty men each. The steamer Guerrero, six six-pound guns and fifty men; a brig of eight guns and seventy-five men, and a schooner of six guns and fifty men. While these acts were performing the whole of this fleet were lvinsr even further down than the merchant vessels, and upon being sent for by the Governor of Vera Cruz to come up to the assistance of the city, returned for answer that they were "H'ttfraL" This last was decidedly the richest joke of all.

The bandit Salcera, seeing no hope of assistance from Puebla or Jalapa, (which he had counted upon when he hoisted his flag,) now sent word to the authorities that if they would give him twelve thousand dollars on which to travel, j.nd guarantee him free pardon for all his men, he-would give up the castle. i ne trovernor, slave.) nowever, ret used to treat. On the 19th the navy being short of coal, it was resolved that the small steamer Guerrero, of six six-pounder guns, should go up and attempt to cut out the steamer Ben Franklin, lying full of coal within range of the guns from the castle, which was attempted. Foolishly, however, the captain let go his anchor, manned his launches, and proceeded on board the Franklin, when the castle opened fire upon the steamer, and the city upon the castle, but still the two steam frigates moved not to the protection of their comrade. The bombs of the city were well served, and though many of the shells fell beyond the castle, some fell within its precincts; one, in particular, blew up a magazine, killing two and wounding sixteen men.

The French frigate had the day before withdrawn, having now no excuse for further interference, as, if foreigners had not improved the opportunity to secure their goods and put themselves beyond the reach of danger, it was their own fault. It was, however, the morningof the20th, when all foreign consuls had requested their respective countrymen, and the Governor had ordered the natives to quit the city, that the great battle was expected. People could be seen flying in all di rections in volantes, on horse-back, mule-back, donkey-back and foot-back; and as mid-day drew near, few beside the national guard were denizens of the city. From our position we could see both the front of castle and city, to our shame be it written, we had seen so much parade and bluster, we were anxious to see some acts that would tally with profession; but, alas we were doomed to'disappointment. At mid-day a white flag appeared on the castle; but the blood-red flag appearing on the city, the white of the castle was lowered, and war to' the hilt was the meaning of the one then raised.

But still the castle guns were mute. How is it? What can be the cause? But, lol again at 5 P. the bloody flag is again lowered on the "castle, and the white again substituted. This time it still remains, and as the shades of evening close o'er the harbor of Vera Cruz that white flag appears to be the last visible thing between the celebrated castle of San Juan de Uloa and the canopy of heaven. Morn at length breaks upon us.

According to custom, we row to the shore, and follow the beach to the town. Every thing appears as before the revolution mule carts, leperos, ragged soldiers, water donkeys, and all. We inquire and find the Castle has surrendered, and that La Slave, the governor of Vera Cruz, has been in it since the hoisting of the second white flag last evening. The soldiers had pronounced or rebelled against the authority of Salcera. The bandit captain had bound him, together with three others of the ringleaders of the piratical attempt, and the revoiu-' tion is at an end.

The report now is that Salcera and three others are to be shot to-morrow. OrR Rei.atioxs wiiii Great Britain. The Union, of yesterday, contains a long review of our differences with England, and after referring to the insulting tone of the British press, adds: But we cannot forbear to add one remark, which 5s, that Great Britain is thus threatening the Unir ted States with war, not because we have infringed her laws or insulted her sovereignty in any, i the least thing whatever, but only because, after she has infringed our laws and insulted nr sovereignty, we courteously request her to relieve us from the presence of her minister, Mr. for reasons the most cogent and unanswerable. 'There is no other cause or pretext of rupture between the twocountries.

We shall see whether, with all her professions of civilization and philanthropy, Great Britain will suffer Lord Palmer-ton to plunge her into a sanguinary and fratricidal war with the United States for the personal benefit of Mr. Crampton. If, in the wilfulness of conscious injustice, England chooses to declare war, let war come; and then, as twice already, be the God of Battles judge betwixt us and the Fatherland. Tennessee Railroads. From the report of ihe Railroad we learn that there are in Tennessee 1,61 1 miles of railroad in process of construction, and 451 miles finished.

Lieut. Charles G. Hunter, of the U. S. Navy, knowu as "Alvarado Hunter," died in the hosp'i.

tal in New York on Tuesday morning at the age of 45 years. He fell a victim to disease contracted in Mexico. Mr. Hunter was a native of New Jersey, and entered the service as midshipman November 11, 1821, and was advanced to the rank of Lieutenant on the 24th of June, 1S54. Not lona-after he fought a duel at Red Bank, N.

with a man named Miller, who charged him with insulting his sister-in-law in Philadelphia. Miller was killed on the first fire; Hunter escaped without a scratch: When the affair became public Hunter was dismissed the service (in 1630) by General Jackson, then president. arrants were issued for his arrest, and he was forced to flee to avoid apprehension. He first went to Boston, and from thence to Montreal. He soon after returned in disguise to New Jersey, and remained for sometime secreted in the house of a Mrs.

Griffiths, in the town of New Brunswick. While so secreted he became enamored of his protector's daughter, and was subsequently married to her. When the commotion caused by the duel had in some mea sure subsided, he went to Washington, obtained an interview with General Jackson, explained all the facts connected withthe duel, and solicited to be restored to his former position, and was successful. In 1842, he was First Lieutenant of the Fairfield, attached to theMediterranean squadron, under command of Commodore Ridglev. He discharged the duties of this position faithfully, and after the lapse of three years returned to the States.

During the Mexican war he again became noted for his capture of the town of Alvarado. He then commanded the United States steamer Scourge, a vessel of light draught, built expressly for service in the shallow waters of the small harbors on the Mexican coast. The squadron, under the command of Commodore Perry, had twice retired from Alvarado. On the 20th of March, 1S47, the day aftej the surrender of Vera Cruz, a combined movement was made by a brigade, under the command of General Quitman, and a powerful fleet, under Commodore Perry. Previous to this time Commodore Perry had sent Lieutenant Hunter to watch the mouth of the river.

Instead of remaining inactive, Lieut. Hunter made an advance upon the town, which, fortunately for him, was neither fortified nor garrisoned. He demanded its surrender, and before Perry and Quitman arrived all' the usual forms had been gone through with. General Quitman took the matter philosophically; but Commodore Perry was exceedingly indignant, and Hunter was tried bycourt martial at Annapolis, and acquitted, and on returning to New York met with a public reception, and was presented with a sword. Soon after he obtained the command of the Tanev, in the Mediterranean, and also acted as a purser.

Having, on his return, been reported a defaulter he was again dismissed the service; subsequently restored by President Fillmore. Last year he com-manded'the Bainbridge, of the Brazil Squadron, and becoming offended at Commodore Salter, he suddenly setsail and brought his ship to New York. The Articles of War inflict the. punishment of death for the act of deserting a squadron, but President Pierce was content with dismissing Lieutenant Hunter from the service. Lieutenant Hunter was an excellent officer, though exceedingly rash, and sometimes eccentric.

Affairs in Allegaxt Count t. We copy the following from the Cumberland Telegraph: The Alleged Murderer. Edward D. Worrell, one of the men apprehended for the murder of Mr. Gordon at St.

Louis, was for several years a resident of this place. His parents, who were highly respected for their worth, resided here, but several years since removed to Delaware. E. D. Worrell was employed as a clerk part of the time in a dry goods store on Baltimore street.

Those who knew him intimately would not have thought him capable of perpetrating the awful crime alleged against him. More Snoiv.

On Saturday another snow, eleven inches deep. fell.

Miraculous Escape. As William Frost, wife, child and servant were proceeding in a sleigh to church, near Shade Mills, on Sunday last, a tremendous gale of wind blowing at the time, uprooted a tree immediately in front of the sleigh and threw it directly across the road, and although the team was checked as soon as it seen falling, one of the horses was killed and the servent somewhat injured by the limbs.

A large meeting has been held at Taneytown and measures taken to secure the construction of the railroad from Hanovej to Littlestown, so as to secure an easy communication with Baltimore. New York Domestic Markets. The ten-, dency of butter, in New York, is downward, and there has been a decline in the price of Stata and Orange county of one to three cents. The Post says: Cheese and eggs are held at the old prices. There seems to be little or no variation in the poultry and game department as generarly held.

A-dealer is selling prairie chickens at seventy five cents per pair, and quails at two dollars per dozen, which is considerably lower than the quotations at the market. Beef still holds up. Virginia oysters are more plentiful and have declined in price. Striped bass, pickerel, flounders nnd perch have also declined. The prices of fruit are advancing.

tion on that point to the members of the Confer- ence, whether they had been striving for such a degree of christian feeling? If all the ministers in the United States enjoyed such a blessing, what a powerful influence would be exerted in the whole country amongst the people. The candidates were hear cautioned against the evil of idleness. They were not to idle away any time whatever; rather be engaged. They were also, in the language of the Discipline, not to mend the rules, but to keep them. They were also to keep up the practice of pastoral visitation, and diligence in the instruction of children.

The advice of the Bishop will scarcely fail in producing good effects upon the lives of the candidates. The Bishop havinj? concluded his remarks, the Conference entered into an examination of the class, concluding by approving their general character, and duly electing them to deacon's orders, with the exception of James II.

The venerable minister, so well known throughout the bounds of the conference, came forward, and was exceedingly happy, not to say facetious, in giving an account of himself. He told them under what circumstances he had left his charge in Philadelphiaj in accordance with disciplinary requirements; his visit to St. Louis, labors there: brief stay at Wheeling, and alsoassured the members that he had never joined the Vlethodist Episcopal Church South, and that he had never determined to join it.

Since the war with the United States has broken out in the English press our own papers bave not had a single battle in Kansas, though e-ery day before that the most alarming reports of engagements were reported.
