We are IN momentary expectation of the reeeip

receive il, however, by telegraph before this even
ipg's Union goes to press.
The eastern mail again failed to connect with the
south and west at this city, this morning. The
fault was between this city and Philadelphia, the
train being compelled to wait at the Gay's Ferry
depot several hours, until locomotive could be re.
paired and fired up. r...
From New York learn that the California ex.
Pediton sailed on Saturday morning, The mayor
and sheriff Of New York had a large armed posse
assembled, and steamboat chartered TO proceed 10
the Quarantine, with instructions 10 arrest Colonel
Stevenson and Captain Turner, and bring them TO
the city. dead or alive, for resisting the civil author.
y Before they started in pursuit, however, news
was received that the expedition had sailed.
There was heavy frost in this section Of the
country this mornings and at early hour not only
winter clothing, but little FIRE on the hearth was
quite pleasant.
The mail from Philadelphia due at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, has not yet arrived. What is the cause
Of delay cannot be aseertained.
The Baltimore -four and grsn markets have been
firm at the highest figure of last weeks prices to-
day, There is nothing however doing, nor will
there be, until the receipt of the Great Westerns
news, which vessel has now been seventeen days on
the ocean. was in the telegraph office few min.
utes since but no ding. of her arrival has yet been

The telegraph also reports that the Philadelphia
market Is at a stand. There 10 no change in Aourj

At New York there was no change in the markets.
Holders of hour and grain continued to ask the
prices Of Saturday, at which cut few small sales
were made Cotton also continues firm at the prices
which it has Lecn held since the receipt of the

For the Union
Amongst the many Improvements which have OF
late, been made IN our city, very tasteful one is to
be seen in the Ascension Church, on II street he
tween 9th and 10TH The building is in its exterior
and It's interior appearance the neatest in the
city. There is nothing of osentatIon about it
nothing TO indicate that il erected to please only
| the eye, or to entice the patronage Of those who
seek only magnfcence and display. Its appearance
Is calculated to make, upon the mind of the behold.
er, the impression that it sacredly erected and
intended, as place for the pure, simple and holy
worship, Of the true, living, and eternal God.
The Ascension Church is under the pastoral care
OF the Rev. Mr. GHlis, minister of the Protestant
Episcopal denomination, whose pastoral labors give
every prospect of being eminenty useful and happy
to the congregation under his charge, and the al
endans upon his ministry. The sound theology,
and the practical ddactie lessons which mark his
sermons, together with the Kindness courtesy, and
affection which he manifests in his pastoral inter.
course, are well calculated to gain the affections of
his people, to acquire the respec of his hearers and
TO contribute, IN great degree, to the promotion of
true and vital piety in this community. For the
last few Sabbath afternoons, the Rev. James Young
learned and able divine, late Of Alabama, has Of
hcated at the Ascension Church.
IL is pleasant TO observe that while il il publicy
proclaimed along our avenues, by laborers in the
Temperance cause, that our city is full beyond all
other places, of lIcentiousness and depravityit is
pleasant to observe, IN the face of such humiating
declarations, that there is still pi,tn and psip
enough in the metropolis ofour great Union for the
erection and dedication of new places of religious
worship; that even here--polluted and de6led
as we are--even here, the temple of Almighty God
may lift aoft lis pious dome, and that the worshp
pers of our blessed Saviour are here permitted In
quietude and peace, to unite and send up towards
heaven, with humility and DEVOTION their songs
their praises, and their prayers. B.
