GREAT RELIGIOUS ANNIVERSARY oP THE Qua
KERs.-To-morrow, at 10 o'clock, commences the
great Annual Conference of the Quak ers, in the
Rose Street Church.
From all parts of the country these Friends meet
together, time and place given, to discuss the pro-
gress of religlon-gve an account of their expert
for the past ycar-speak as the spirit moves
and generalygive their views on the state of the
times. 1t is highly probable, and indeed expected,
that the spirit will be oblging enough to move the
Rev. Mr. White to make one of his remarkable,
clear-headed, strong minded speeches. Many others
will speak, both men and wonderland great day
may be expec ted at Rose street
Apropos des bottles We have another large slice
OF Mr. Whites sermon TO publish tomorrow in the
Sunday Hvdd-a sermon which has created a
great sensation in the moral and religious world
almost deep as that which pervaded Ninevah
at lsaiah's preachng-or Sodom and Gomorroh
when the angel summoned them to Abraham. Mr..
White is believer in the old and venerable system
Of morals, which conducts men to honor and re-
spect, each on his own bottom, without the ma
chinery OF caucusses, conventions, societies, and
wandering minstrels or paid lecturers. Tomorrow
the fanatics will receive dose from the honest
Quakers.

From TExAs.-We learn by gentleman who
came passenger in the Brazos, arrived last evening
from Galveston, which port she left the oath ult
that on the day previous two vessels arrived there
with volunteers for the Texan army. There was
company of over 1000 men in Galveston, deter
mined, at all hazards, TO march upon Matamoras,
by way of Corpus Christi President Houston
strongly opposed the movement, for the present,
fearing would be injurious to the interests of the
farmers, whose crops were represented az being
very abundant.
Commodore Moore, in the brig of war Wharton,
sailed from Galveston on the 2lst ult., with the
intention of cutting off the schooner VIM. Bryant,
which vessel, it was understood intended to force
the blockade, and carry supplies into Matamoras.
Commodore NJ. was also upon the lookout for the
schooner Eagle purchased recently in this city for
the Mexican government He had already cap
tured three prizes one Of them having on board
$1,000 in specie.

We give the last news, received yesterday morn
ing by Harnden L. CO.. unrivalled express in the
annexed extract -
From the Providence Journal May 10, I'M.
The men entrenched upon the HILL. remained
peaceaby during the night. In the morning, about
daybreak, three guns were discharged They were
under the command of man named WOLF from
Uxbridge, who arrived here on Wednesday. Their
position was one from which they could do no inju
ny. II was easily commanded, from the hills on
the other side of the Cove and the authorities con-
tented themselves with taking measures to prevent
them from doing any mischief, feeling assured that
one night would cool their courage. In the morn
ing, the guns OF the artillery company were brought
to their armory. They We're loaded to within a
foot of their muzzle, with scraps of boiler iron,
spikes &c. The other peices were taken posses
sion OF by the Quartermaster General and carried
to the Arsenal and the place entirely abandoned.
A report was current, this morning, that DoT
was in Belllngham, Mass, about three miles from
Woonsocket, and that he was raising recruits
We think it very probable that he is there, but very
Improbable that he is raising recruits. He would
hardly dare to show himself to his own men. A
requistion will be, or has been, sent for HIM. He
must leave the country, if he escapes
The Kentsh Guards arrived here at ten o'clock
last evening. They were quartered in the Cadet
armory.
A message was received by the Governor from
Newport, informing him that eightyseven men
were ready to come 10 Providence, and that many
others would be ready by the time conveyance
could be sent for them. A number of men arrived
on Wednesday evening from West Greenwich, 10

assembled, and ready for orders. The lower regi.
ment, from the disafected part of the county,
tered two hundred and fifty men. The other was
larger. More men were ready from Bristol county.
The mills were stopped, all business was suspended,
and every thing showed the firm dete animation Of
the people to maintain the laws.

The Trial OF Stone, OF the Commercial nj, for
Another Libel.

The case of James Fennimore Cooper, against
William L. Stone, for libel, is now drawn to
close, and the decision of the referees may be OK
peced in few days.
Throughout this trial, Mr.. Cooper has conducted
this case pretty much in person; and it has been
most remarkable exhibition of literary talent
teal knowledge, TACT and legal skill combined in
the person of this man, such as has rarely been
witnessed before in any Court in this country Mr..
Cooper, in this singular case by his learning talent
research, energy, and industry, has not only won
laurels tor himself from all his friends. but has
even extored the warmest applause from his bitter
est opponents. Mr.. Bidwel the Counsel for Stone,
stated yesterday that Mr.. Cooper was of the
able public speakers, and pleaders that he had
ever listened 10; and that much as he admired him
writer that he considered him far bet
ter debater, and public speaker, than he wri-
ter And the day before he stated in the presence
Of Mr. Cooper, that he considered him of the
first historians OF the day. This from such source,
is no faint praise.
The whole history of this affair from its COM
mencement to the present time, would be one of
the most curious disclosures in the political and lite
rary history of this country that have ever had.
We preparing the materials for it, and shall lay it
before our readers at the earliest opportunity. 1t
will present one of the most remark able and studied
efforts the part of certain politicians and news
paper editors to put down, and if possible destroy
Mr.. Cooper, that can possibly be imagined Its
origin singular in the extreme, and grew out
of a combination Of circumstances partly emana
ting from political prejudices, partly from literary
Jealousy, partly from personal pque and partly from
sheer malice. The whole set on foot, and stmula-
tedby James Watson Webb, Thurow Weed, Will
liam l.. Stone John Inman, and it is possible, urged
on by feeling of jealousy the part of James X
Paulding.
The whole was, most probably, studied and de-
liberae determination the part of the editors and
smaltry terates, to crush Mr. Cooper, if possible,
in his personal and literary reputation, believing, in
the of their egregious vanity that they could
put down any author, who did not bow down to
their DEGREES, and who dared assume for himself
an independent tone Of thought and action.
