r At Quincy Massachusetts, was lately
celebrated the 9ooth anniversary OF the estab-
lishment of the church at that place, WHICH
appeared to have been an occasion of great
interest; although, as it fell upon the sabbath,
few ceremonies were observed. An appro.
pirate discourse was delivered by the Pastor
Of the church, and among other interesting
exercises, the following hymn, written for
the occasion by the Hon. John Quincy A.
dams.) was sung.
THE HOUR GLASS.
Alas! how swift the moments fly.
How dash the years along!
Scarce here, yet gone already by;

And age with funowed brow;

sensation in St. Louis than was ever expe-
rienced there before. The citizens have call.
cd meetings, which have been numerously
attended by the business men Of that city,
and resolutions have been adopted, by them,
expressive of the opinion, "that it is poor
rule' that wont work both ways, and that
as the bank has been mainly instrumental in
circulating the paper Of other banks in Mis-
souri,, she having commenced business, upon
the borrowed notes of other banks, and hav-
ing loaned out upon discount, a large amount
in the paper Of other State banks, she ought
in justice still to receive such paper as she
has paid out. Many Of the merchants it is
said have Withdrawn their deposites; while
Others have suffered their notes to be protes-
ted, determined not to pay them in other
kinds Of money, than that which they receiv-
ed from the bank; unless compelled by law.

parties, Hughes, and the aggrieved part of the
congregation, by mutual acknowledgment
and concessions to each other, than BY the
referees as judges. 1t was suggested to them
that Elder Hughes would publickly acknowl.
edge that his conduct had been improper, and
that it might be sufficient to excite suspicion,
as it in fact did in the minds of some-that
he now could, and did cordially forgive those
who had INDUCED those suspicions.-It was
also suggested to the referees that the congre-
cation would acknowledge that such of their
members as had heard of these reports, and
had spread them to the injury of Elder
Hughes, and had kept them concealed from
him, had done wrong-that the aggrieved in
the church, would also acknowledge, that on
due reflection, they considered that the
grounds Of their suspicion of Elder Hughes
were insufficient to prove him guilty-and
that they were willing to abandon all suspi.
cions, and forgive and forget those things for
ever; and give Elder Hughes the right hand
as full confirmation of their peace and har-
mony.
The referees returned into the house, and
proposed their plan Of reconciliation. 1t was
adopted by the congregation unanimously.
Elder Hughes then rose, and said, he wished
an investigation, but submitted to the plan
proposed; then he made the acknowle4g-
ment above stated, but solemnlv protested
before God that he was not guilty of the
crime alleged.-The congregation also made
the acknowledgements above stated, and a
greed unanimously to meet Elder Hughes,
and join with him their right hands in token
OF their reconciliation; and that neither par
ty were ever again to name those things az
forwards. Elder Hughes stepped forward,
and every member OF the congregation cor
daily advanced and gave him their hand, and
love, and thanksgiving to God concluded the

or The us. exploring expedition seems
to nave penetrated as far south as 10 degrees
oflatitude, during the past season when large
masses of ice appearing in every direction,
and the winter approaching, it was deemed
imprudent to prosecute the voyage further at
that time, and the expedition returned to
Valparaiso and Callao, for the purpose of re-
fitting; after which it proceeded to the Sand
witch Island, whence on the return Of spring it
was expected to 90 south again, intending to
push into as high Southern latitude as the
state of ice would allow. The spring being
now far advanced in that region, it is sup
posed that the expedition has been sometime
on the voyage South, which it is intended to
prosecute with vigor, until forced by the re-
turn Of the fall season, (Which will be our
spring,) to return towards the mAderlatitudes,
when tits intended to visit the Columbia Riv.

CENTENARY OF METHODlsM.

The 25th day of next month VIII complete

Christians denominated .Meihodssts 4 day so
interesting, not only to the members Of that nu-

by without due and solemn COMMUNICATION.
Accordingly, we have perceived, for some time
past, that preparations arc on foot in the uuIner

Try and in England, for Il general celebration OF
the day. The occasion has naturally given birth
10 many addresses, congr0tuatory and laudatory

devoted to the particular interests of the society

and diction. From TWO OF them which have

FIRE AND LOSS or
IfTFl


One of the moslTleatrnciive fires that ever oc-
Cured in this city, broke out this morning, about
o'clock, i'll the four story stone block at the
corner of Front and Vine streets. 1t originated
in the store OF Bland, .Tompkins and Barrel,
which was entirely cousnmed; extending on
the nori! 10 the warehouse of Setmus and
january; where its progress was arrested by the
fire proof store Of II. N. Davis & Co. On the
South 1t destroyed the store Of q. 81. Willing
& Co.. Wholesale groccrs; z. N. Roberts cIoh-
ing store, tic wholesale drug store of Oscar
Cobb; AIieyne 81 Co.'S. wholesale grocery; and
two or three gr0ccry's and coffee houses, bG!ong-
lug to }. Rice and others.
The loss IL varlous'y estimated AT from $780,
COO TO $2OO,O0O, it being Impossible to estimate
the value of the goods OH storage. The insur-
ancc will probably amount TO $4,000 or $780,
600.
During the fire, two explosions of gunpowler
occurred, which, TO some extent, prevented those
present from taking such measures rs they 9th
erWlse might have talier, 10 stop the progress of
the fire, OF 10 remove property.
Caanltous as this fire has been, the chief
cause OF regret, is the loss of a number of vulua-
bic lives. Mr. Is. l.. Tnrnbull, well known us
bookseller in this city; Mr Hayden, II clerk at
Willing " Co.'S, a stranger named Brewer and it
Is supposed one or two others persisted in the
flames! They were engaged i'll removing goods
from the store of Mr. Willing, when the eXplo-
sion in the store of Blaine, Tomphins, & Barrel,
threw down the stone wall of the building,
crushing the frame building below.
The storage of gunpowder in these buildings,
II it does not vitate the Insurance, will ut least
meet with the repreheson Of every member of
the community; and we sincerely hope that the
disastrouS and heartrending occurrence of this
morning will lead to more caution in this respect,
and 10 the extension and more efficient organs
