SUNDAY EVENING SERvicRs.-A miserable rain,
which subsidized into drizzlng mist, interfered ma
terially with the church services last evening The
eloquent and pious Bishop Smith, Of kentucky, de-
livered an excellent discourse in the Episcopal
Church in Vandewater street, the unity of reli.
gion and the identity between the "old " and
new" testaments. He pronounced the distinc-
tIons in faith between Jew and Christian unfounded,
and said that the only difference between them was
that one looked forward to Redeemery yet to come,
whlle-ihe other looked back to one whose earthly
mission had been already accomplished. His audi
ence was attentive, but not large.

arrival the whole interior of the building was
wrapped in flames, which could not be got under
until all the stock Of biscuit, flour, &C., which was
large, was completely destroyed. The upper Iparl
OF the house adjoining-No. l5S-was occupied by
several families, Of whom one man, whose name

the house, No. l53, as a liquor store, being ab-
sent, found on his return that the firemen had
paid his premises visit, and helped themselves to
some ten dollars worth Of drink but as the foray
was conducted in the most orderly manner, no
bottles or glasses being broken, he says they are
quite welcome TO all they got.

MARKETS.

~ OF, LOUIS, July ~.
Remarks. The market, generally, has
been inactive and dropping during the week.
AS usual, ut this season of the year, when
the farmers are engaged IN harvesting, very
little produce is coming forward, and trans.
actions in that department are necessarily
Of limited character.
The river is yet over the floors Of all the
stores on the evee above Pine street, and
has been at stand for the last two days.
Tobacco Sales at both warehouses dur.
ing the week, amount to only so hhls. ex.
elusive OF reviews. The distress on the
Missouri river produced by the flood, and
the planters in the interior being engaged
IN securing their crops, is, doubtless, the
cause Of the great falling off in the receipts,
as only small portion Of the crop has yet
been brought in. The market has under
gone no change-all qualities are in de-
mand, and prices are fully maintained. AT
