Yesterday was (he coldest day of the winter In this city, the mercury having Indicated 12 degrees at seven o'clock In the morning, 15 degrees at noon aad 15 degree at six o'clock, which was an average of three ds- frees lower than on the preceding day, and sir egrees lower than any previous day of the winter.

The day was very disagreeable from the fact that the wind was high, and added to the extreme cold, the streets were filled with dmt, rendering pedestrianlsm anything but agreeable. Id many places the sidewalks are sadly neglected, and so filled with Ice as to render them dangerous at nlgbt. This matter should be attended tt by tbe police; and the ice removed or sprinkled with coal a-ibes, or some other material that will render the sidewalks more safe. In Baltimore county, fonr miles from the city, yesterday morning the mercury indicated 8 degrees.

On Saturday last the extensive gun manufactory of Mr. Meicnior, near tae net air road, about five miles frosn the city, was burnt, and all the stock and machinery, valued at seme $15,000, was destroyed.

A Tekhiblb Affaik in Christian Cotjxtt, Kt The Evansviile Journal relates theparticu. lata of a murder perpetrated a few weeks since in Christian county, Ky. They are as follows: A man named Casey has been arrested for the murder of a neighbor named Henderson. It appears that Casey had married a woman with whom, it is said, Henderson had been previously lutimate.

Thi Intimacy was kept up after the marriage, tie naa rorbiaaen Henderson's coming to his house, and when his visits were re peated threatened to shoot him if he caught him on nid premises again. Two weeks ago Header- son left home, and not returning according to aa pointment, a stirch was instituted through the country, in wnicn Lasey joined ror several days. After the search was over Casey fled. After his departure Casev's wife disclosed the murder. Ca sey had shot Henderson, took the body and burled it in the s'able, covered it with manure and pat a horse in the stall, whose use of it soon obliterated aU traces.

The wife, however, disclosed thefdet of the murder, and pointed out the place where tne body had been burled. It was louna with a Duitet-hoie tnrougn tne skull. HrMAxiiY to Horses. A person who has hed seme experience with horses says: 'When ahorse has fallen, from the slipperv state cf tbe ground, the readiest method of enabling him to rise Is ta place a piece of old rag aijjci uuuer uis jure itei, auu lie win ob to get up at once. Many horses are seriously stralnel by their efforts to rise on slippery ground, and this is most particularly the cate with those of high spirit, and frequently those of greatest value 8 re so frightened by tke fall that greater Injurie to tnemseives, as well as danger to those in the carriage, ensue from vain efforts to get up than oy tneiau.

Let the driver leap down at once and assist the horse to get in position to get up, at the same time placing the rag, carpet, or even old coat, unaer nis ieet." Abolition on thb Decline. Fred. Douglais complains oitceriy mac me irieoas or tne abolition of ulavery are falling away from the cause, some for one reason ar.d some for another, and a good many because "its principles required them to treat the colored man as an equal brother in all the relations of life." There's the rub; the abolitionists never were the true friends of the colored race, and after preaching equality and freedom so long to them, they shrink with loathing from the practical illustration of their own doctrines, and would almost as soon come in contact with Satan himself as a "nigger." A Missouri Spurgeojc. Dnrlng a late revival In the Saptist church at Lagrange, a lad 17 years old, who had acquired some notoriety in thetown as theatrical pei former, joined the church and prepared himself for tbe m'nistry.

When he preaches the church is cro rded; persons from all the country round abouc fl ick to hear him. and the oldest veterans deelare th it they never before listened to such thrilling eloquence The name of the "boy-preacher" is J. B. Fuller. Detroit Advertiser.

A Pbktit Cool Operation. On Stturday last a man, who gave his name as Gilman, and hailing from Baltimore, came to the Brornfleld House and took a room, a Monday he mide the acquaintance of a f-ma'e on the street, to whom he proponed marriage, representing himself as worth considerable property. Believing his statements, the woman accepted his offer, and, not to lose time, the marriage certificate was procured, and "the twain were made one flesh." oa the same day. Yesterday morning Mr. Gilman left for parts unknown, forgetting to take his ne jv wife.

The worrfan, of course, heartily repents her haste. Boston Ledger, 4A. i Impobiast Advics What wars and bloodshed might be avoided; how many duels might be prevented; how much strife, contention and bitter feeling amongst men might be suppreised; how much peace and harmony might exist on this side the grave, (even without reference to the tremendous consequences which lie beyond it,) If men In their intercourse with each other would constantly bear in mind the advice of a distinguished French writer, who says: "Never speak or write when you are angry or In a passion; for tt is always dangerous to put to sea during a storm." Phil. Rics, the Banjoist. The Atlanta (Ga.) Examiner says: Mr.

Phil. Rice, the celebrated banjolst, died on the Floating Pilace, on the Mississippi river, at Grand Lake, Arkansas, on the 4th of December. Mr. Rice was acknowledged by theTesr musicians of the age to be the most perfect performer on tbat Instrument of the present day. It will be remembered that he gave instruction on the banjo toThalberg, tbe celebrated pianist.

He is the author of a work entitled "Phil. Rice's Instructions on the Banjo, with or without Music." '7 Polite Burglars Two roteera recently enter ed the house of Mr; Trowlstidge, near Birmingham, Michigan, and going to-Mr. 's bed, told hirn not to. stir, aad allowed him in the dark to feel tbe edge ot theft knives. They asked If Mrs.

T. was in bed, and getting a reply in the affirmative, apologized for the unieasonable visit, but assured her safety. Two remained In the bedroom, while the rest of the gang ransacked the house and carried away everything of value, consisting of silver, jewelry, clotidng, a set of furs, first havli made ajiearty meal in the pantry. Not to bk Outbonk An Englishman and a Yankee were recently disputing, when the former sneeringly remarked: Fortunately, the Americans could go no further than the Pacific shore." The Yankee scratched his prolific brain for an instant and thus triumphantly replied: Why good gracious? they're already leveling the Rocky Mountains and carting the dirt out West. I had a letter last week from my cousin-, who Is living 200 miles west of the Pacific shore on made land!" The Englishman gave in.

PRICE ONE CENT. ing.gA high wind prevailed at the time, and before the flames were suppressed the roof was burnt entirely away, and the furniture of the apartments greatly damaged by water. The biilidmg was damaged to the extent of insured for 81.000 in the Firemen's office; damage to furniture insured for in the same oliiie.

The fire from this communicated on the east to No. 272. owned and occupied by John H. Alexander, and on the west to No. 276, owned and occupied by Benjamin Whiteley.

The first was Injured to' the extent of $150; Insured in the Firemen's ethce, and the second about $75, Insured In the F'quitable office. The policy of insurance on Mr. Kalbfus's property would have expired tomorrow. The block of buildings in which the fire occurred is known as Pascu it Row. A fire broke ont shortly after seven o'clock last night in the three-story and attic house at the northwest corner oi unaries ana a yene streets, occupied as a medical office bv Dr.

Alexander Dulin. The fire originated from sparks fronxthe chimney, but the firemen were promptly oa the spot and 'succeeded in extinguishing it before any material damage was done. The only damage to the lower part of the house was by water. The property belongs to Dr. Charles Keener, and Is damaged to the amount of about 200, which Is covered by insurance in a Philadelphia office The firemen experienced a difficulty in consequence of some of the fire-plugs having been fro zen.

That at tbe corner of "St. Paul and Fayette streets had to have a fire built In it before any water could be obtained. About 10 o'clock yesterday morning the residence of Mrs. McTavish, widow of tne late British consul, corner of Read and Cathedra! Btreets, was set on fire by a burning chimney, and the roof slightly damaged before the flames were put out by the firemen. Foul chiainev are prolific causes of conflagrations, and housekeepers, to insure the safety of their dwellings, should have them cleaned by the sweep.

Tne MeDonogh Estate. Me Donoghs Remains, From a communication of Brantz Mayer, Esq, one of the agents of the McDonogh estate, to the City Council, the following paragraph is taken: "I trust you will not consider it improper if I call your attention to Mr. McDonogh's request that his rerr ains should be removed to Baltimore, and interred if possible, as he desired. The agents of the cities cave not consiaerea ineHiseiTes a-itaor-ized to perform this act withont the consent of their constituents. Receiving a large bq-tst from the deceased, and accepting 1 it seem ta Elainest of consequences tuiLlsueh a request should complied with in a spirit of respectful His remains now He in a negleated private graveyard, near the swamp in the rear of his residence.

I beg to suggest that your agents be emoowered to remove them to some cemetery in the neighborhood of Baltimore, in conformity with his request, and to erect (either alone or in conjunction with the authorities of New Orleans) aplalnbutappropriate monument to his memory." The whole of tbe real estate of John McDonogh amounts in valuation to $1,408,830." of which Baltimore owns one -haif, or $701,440. Deducting Pena's claim of $100,000 reduces the am ant. to each city 850,000. By judicious sale it Is, estimated that Baltimore would realize from tue. estate neariy SOOO.OliO.

NEW EXCHANGE BUILDING. To-day has been appointed the time to decide the question la behalf of the Corn Exchange wr ether the merchants of Baltimore are ready and wiliint' to nnlte la the selection of a suitable site on which to a new exchange building. The Cwrn and Flour Exchange, a young ana vigorous institution, having too limited accommodations for Us rapidly increasing membership, has. for some time, been seeking a more comma-dioin room wherein to hold it da ly me lags. Lowly 's wharf has many warm friends among fheoain dejlers, who comprise a lare of the Corn Exchange Association, for that nas been' the principal theatre of their action for many vrars.

VV sd mit, too, tbat it suits that particular interest, perbapa-better than any other locality, and no one propriety could object to their pr ferei.cf pr vidtd tht 1 stitiition Wd organized eicl'-sivrlv ior the buvtn: and selling of grain. But inasn.u:h as it embraces in its mem bersbip a vrrv lar2e portion of the active bust nets men ot the city, including all branches of trade, and located in ail sections of the city, it is thought that such an institution shoul.4 have a more cen-tldl location; and taking this view of the subject, the Reading Rooms. Board of Trade, Provision Exchange and Stock Pond stai ready to meet Flour Exchange to aid in the erec tion, In such a locality as may be deemed most central, a new buildiug, of such capacity as will give ample accommodations to all, and at the same time secure to the company or owners of sa'd btilldtriir a remunerative ient on its cost. It is therefore hoped that a full attendance of the members will he at the mesting of the Corn th's morning, at teno'clock, and that in their action they will be guided singly with a view of promoting the weifcire of all the commercial institutions uf our city. -r A Merchant The Late Com.

Perry, Navy. We yesterday announced the death, of Com. Matthew Ca.braith Perry, at New York, on Thursday morning, sfter a service of almost half a century in the United States mvy. He died In the sixty-third year of his age. The father of the de ceawd was Cufii-topher Raymond Perry who be- hme an cfiicer of the infant marine of the United States In 1703.

His elder brother was Oliver Perry, the hero of the battle of Lake Erie. The first of the Perry family in this country emigrated to Massachusetts from Devonshire, England, ar-ont the middle of the seventeenth century. Matthew waaoru in South Kingston, Rhode "Island, and entered the navv In ISUO, as a midshipman on boird tne schooner Revenge, from which beWdJ soon after IraoMt-rrfd to thefrirste President. In November, 113, he was ordered to tae frigate Uultea S'laiev tna in April, iii, was sent oacK to the President Toward end of IS11 he was ordered to the brig Chippewa, from which vessel iir v.as trai.srVrrtd to the navy-yaid at Brooklyn, wiili the rank of lieutenant He thus learned the duties of his profession amid the stirring events of th wir of 1612 with Great Britain, when every officer of our little navy was more or less in active eervice. In August.

1S19, he was ordered to the ship Cyane. wbicb. was sent to the coast of Africa to aid the tflorts of the Colonization Society la its attempts to found a settlement of free blacks upon the isiaod of Sherbro, near Sierra Leone. The mortality at Sherbro was so great that it became evident no colony could be planted there, and Lieut. Perry selected Mesurado Cape as a more suitable locality far a town.

He therefore fixed the locality of the firat settlement of Liberia. In May, 1821, Lieut. Perry was put in com mand of the schooner Shark, Irt which vessel he twice visited the colony at Mesurado. la the same vessel he also cruised the waters of the West indies, and captured several pirates. On his return he was aoain attached to the Brooklyn navy-vard, whero he remained until le-24, when he was ordered to tb North Carolina, P6 guns, under command of Commodore John Rogers.

In this ship he served as first lientenaat ano captain of the fleet during her whole cruise He was then promoted to the rankof commander, atid took charge of the recruiting service at Boston, in wfcich employment he continued until 1S30, when he took command of the corvette Concord, in which he conveyed John Randolph as U. S. miniivter to St Petersburg, and afterward ciuirta tnree years in the Mediterranean. "When home again he was once more actively employe a at me ttrooxiyn navy-yara as tetident of a school of gun practice and In the or ganization of a steam naval service. He was at this time promoted to the rank of captain, knd was offered tbe command of the exploring expedition, afterward given to Commodore Wilkes, but for various reasons dec lined it.

In 1S33 Capt. Perry was sent to irope to visit the deck yards and light-houses, and coilectfrom personal inspection such facts as might be useful in improving those departments of the United States service. Early in 1S39 he submitted his report to the government, and resumed his duties as superintendent of gun practice, and in preparing plans for tbe construction and equipment of the Missouri and the Mississippi, the. first two ocean steemeis in eur navy. Witle thus employed he was appointed to the chief command cf toe Brooklyn navy-yard, In which position he remained two years, when, at his own request, he was appointed to the command of the African squadron, sent out under the provisions of the Ashburtoa treaty.

He succeeded so weU in carrying out the provisions of the treaty that he received the commendation of both the British and American governments. In 1S46, he sailed as second In command to Commodore Conner, to the Gulf of Mexico, and oa the retirement of that officer in March assumed the chief command in time to direct the naval bombardment jf Vera Cruz. Commodore Per-ry 's 'ab'e co operation" in the siege of Vera Cruz was eoidially acknowledged by General Scitt ia his official dispatches. But the most distinguished service In his long career was the expedition to Japan, which sailed from tbe United States on the 2-1 tb. of November, 1852, a rid In command of which Commodore Perry negotiated the treaty with Japan, signed on the lastoay of March, 1651 The important events cet.nect.cd with the expedition are still fresh In tbe public mind, and we need not now da mare tbn refer to them.

The disease which caused Commodore Perry's death was gont in the ttorea. He had complained of feeling poorly for several days was not considered In danger until the hour of his death. We believe he leaves a widow and six childrenthree sons and three daughters. One of the sobs Is now consul at Hong Kong. Of the daughters, two are married, (Mrs.

John Hone and Mrs August Belmont,) and one remains single. The wife of the Rev Dr Vinton, of Trinity church, is a niece of Commodore Matthew C. Perry, and a daughter of Commodore Oliver H. Perry. Ntvo York Commercial.

Signed A. Griffith, W.T. D. Clemm, N. Wilson, John Green, Wm.

F. Speakes and Henry C. Westwood." As foon as the reading was concluded, Rev. Isaac Collins arose, and in earnest terms, as well as at seme length, deprecated the proposition. His convictions were tbat it would prove mU-chievous in its tendencies provoke the agitation which already to too great an extent, and promote the views ol the agitators.

Deeply, Indeed, did he regret any action which would divert from their regular calling the ministers ot tbe cross- Tbey were, in tne scripture scribed as the men of one wo and 8to -po-ed to cons ltuMg tuern editors, or anything else out of heir proper sphere. In every aspect of the case he was opposed to the plan. Mr. Collins fully adopted the speech of the Rev. Henry Slicer in East Baltimore Conference yesterday.

To a question subsequently put, Mr. C. said the Christian Advocate and Journal was the paper and would be the paper of his choice. Rev. Nerval Wilson replied to Mr? Collins.

He thought that if he had been sent out on the border and had become better acquainted with the circumstances which demand such a journal, Mr C. would have come up with very different impfessioris. Kev. E. P.

Phelps followed, and after a few explanations launched out in a speech of fervent eloquence and power declaring his increasing attachment to the church and the conference. The venerable James Sewall next addressed the body. He expressed his opinion that on the subject cf tbe new paper, his brother Wilson had changed views, or became converted since yesterday. WitbouLany new proposition or expression of decided opinion, Mr. Sewellproceeded to urge upon the conference to grea principle of love.

The enmity cf the opposition which had been referred to might be conquered thereby. It was admitted tbat eitul tears were always the most uncivil religious quarrels the most He thought tbat one of the speakers was a little too fitr-g the other a little too itnery. Neither would make a good editor. Prayer would Love Is omnipotent; it wilt conquer everything but a devil. He would tell the people of Virginia that be had never studied the cience of qumelology, and was't JO old to begin row.

He would sing a verse which might tranquilize the elements. And here the venera ble gentleman sung "Togetter let us sweetly live, Together let us die, A nd each a starry crown receive, 'And reign above the sky." He resumed his seat with loud "amens" from different parts of tbe house. Rev Thomas Mvers next obtained the floor Facts which, since yesterdty, had come to his knowledge, had changed his opinion, and he row viewed the new enterpriee with disfavor Mr. M. was much interrupted by interrognt-jries om several parts of the house, but went on to sustain hlmslf.

Rev. John Gilbert, at some length, followed on toe other side. Rev George Brooks was next reeognlzed, and tdvocated a journal of religion and literature. Thestcretary then reminded conference thatthe secretaries were ready to receive their statistical reports, without interrupting debate. Tbe venerable Alfred Griffith arose, but deferred his remarks for the present.

Rev. N. J. B- Morgan arose, and was sorry the word "family" had been omitted in the title. He then proceeded to explain his views, showing the jiecessity of a religious and literary journal.

He did not eiiiCrse theseiirltSerts of Brother Collins In submerging editor agents. The correction of error was important. Tne tQO" dist Episcopal church -was Goming tip on the subject of literature in a manner highly commendable. He went for the new paper to the end of tue chapter, with the distinct understanding that controversy was secondary. Rev.

Mr. Clemm. at considerable length, addressed the body Without concluding he'yleided the floor for a motion to adjourn until to-morrow. The chair announced the following committee on the Metropolitan Church, Washington, E. R.

Veltch, N. Brown and E. Busey. The usual announcements being made, Doxo-logy was sung, and benediction pronoanced by the Rev. Norval Adjourned.

Mr. Everett then arose" and was again greeted with applause, when he spoke for -upwards of an hour, the whole audience of about five thousand persons observing the greatest quiet so that all present had an opportunity to hear. The lecture was of a high order, and from the beginning to the close was of thrilling eloquence. At its conclusion the applause was rapturous, and continued for some minutes. When silence was obtained.
