astical body commenced its Annual session in
the basement of the Rev. Mr.. Vardcn's church,
at the corner of Lombard and Green ST., yes
terday morning. The conference was called
to order by the president, (Rev. l.. r. Reese, }
at O'Clock, who read portion Of Scripture,
and offered up to the "Throne of Grace' fer
vent and eloquent prayer, beseechng the giver
of all good to guide and counsel them in their
deliberations. The Conference then proceeded
to the election Of Secretaries, which resulted in
the choice of ]. j. Murray as first, and S. R.
Cox as assistant, who took their seats at the
desk, when the regular proceedings of the Com
ference commenced. The examination of the
certificates and qualification of members then

The Conference, at ! o'clock, went into the
examination of official character, when our re-
porter left. We are requested to say, that DUR
ing the sittngs Of the Conference there will be

Baltimore .4nnual Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. This respectable body of
ministers convened yesterday morning, in the
Monument street Church, at O'Clock. The
Rev. Bishop Waugh commenced the exercises;
Bishops Soule and Hedding were also present,
and large number of ministers. Rev. S. A.
Roszell and Rev. w. 0. Lunsden, were elected
Secretaries. The Conference by large vote
determined that the session should be private
one, no doubt in view of the exciting questions
likely to come before the body-and: as much
as private sessions may be objected to, we are
informed that the Conference has only revived
an old rule, which for few years past has been
suspended.
A Warning 10 Storekeepers The proprietor
Of store on Baltimore-st., was yesterday fined
81 and costs, by John Wright, Esq, for vio-
lation of a city ordinance, in blocking up the
sidewalk before his door with empty boxes
We understand that the police officers have
strict orders to inform upon all persons so Of
Tending; and we trust that our merchants and
storekeepers will see to the speedy removal of
all such distractions, as it is as unpleasant to
the officers to lay information, as it is annoy
ing to the citizens.
Fire. The alarm of fire yesterday morning,
at o'clock was caused by the burning of the
stable and wood shed of Samuel Harriss, in
Hamilton st. near Charles. 1t was entirely
consumed, together with several cords of wood.
MIR. Harrss has no doubt but that it was de-
signedly fired.
Seriously Injured. We learn that as Mr..
James Chandler, was passing along near the
corner of Thames and Fells ST., the early part
of Tuesday night, he was struck upon the head
by stone, flung from party of three persons
who were OH the opposite side of the street, and
so severely stunned as to cause him to fall in
sensible to the ground He is now under me-
dica attention, and has suffered much. He is
not aware of the guilty person. MIR. G. is a
Young, Industrious, and sober man; and the per-
son guilty of the outrage, whether accidental or
intentional, deserves severe punishment.
TO appear al Court. Daniel Moody, whose
arrest we noticed on Tuesday, yesterday under
went a reorganization before w. A. Schaeffer,
Esq, which resulted in his being required to
give bail in the sum of $500 to appear at the
Saturday Court. He is charged with assaultng
and beating Mr.. Washington Roberts while in
the discharge of his duty as Director of the
Independent Fire Company at the fire on Sun
day night, and with creating general disturb
ance at said fire.
Trustees of the films House The Trustees of
the Aims House met yesterday for the purpose
of electing an Overseer of the Institution, but
failed in their object, owing, we understand, to
some logrolling among the members. They
elected Mr. Tongue Agent to the Institution.
We further learn that Mr. R. G. Wright, one
of the board, resigned his place; consequently
the election for Overseer will not take place
until the vacancy is filled.
