Owing to the inclemency Of the weather, the
procession, which was formed at 10 O'Clock,
were not able to exhibit to very great advan-
tage the regalia characteristic of the order, by
marching through the main streets, but were
compelled TO proceed Immediately to the Meth
odist Church, where appropriate addresses
were delivered by Mr. j. p Bentley and Rev.
Mr. Reed, of Winchester. After the services
in the church, the company dispersed. The
members Of the order from Winchester Lodge
were entertained by the brethren here during
their stay. A portion of those present dned

credit to the taste and experience of the Hos

Baltimore Conaterenee.-We find the
following in the National Intelligencer
of Saturday:
"1The Baltimore Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church has unan-
lmously resolved to remain in connex-
ION with the Methodist Episcopal
Church; to resist, as it has uniformly
done from the first, the introduction of
slavery among its members; to hold no
connexlon with any ecclesiastical body
that shall make non -slaveholding con-
dition Of membership in the church, and
to stand by the discipline as it is. The
Conference has also expressed its de-
termination to favor the division of the
general funds of the church, as provi-
ded for in the plan Of separation. There
was at,no time. any warmth. of feeling
or division of sentiment respecting this
matter. So says letter from mem
Der of the Conference, published in the
North American"
Divisson Of Ioaca.-Ehorts are max
ing towards dividing this Territory, so
thatlt may form two convenient States.
The line proposed is the forty-second
degree of north latitude. The south
ernmoSt division of the territory would
then be one hundred and twenty miles
wide, thus forming State compact
and accessible from all points. The
northern division will contain the larger
superfices. a# vi

ANOTHER GREAT FIRE IN PrrTs-
BURG. -Serenteen Houses Burnt
The Pittsburg American says:
"We have to record another destruc-
ton of property in our city by fire,
which broke out this morning about 4
O'Clock, in one Of the two bakeries on
Seventh street, between Grant and
Coal Lane, belonging to Mr.. McLea-
ky, and another man whose name we
did not learn. The buildings being
frame, the fire obtained Roadway be
fore the engines arrived, and the de-
has been very great, extern
ding from Seventh to Prospect street,
Including in all sixteen houses, most
of them new, and mary of them of the
better class Of frame buildings, with
all the furniture and household proper
ty of every kind in as many as four of
the houses. The sufferers are: Mr.. |
Murray, two houses; Mr.. ~ Smith,
one; Mr.: John Patterson, two houses,
including all his furniture, the fire sprea-
ding so rapidly as to afford him no
time to save any part of it; Squire Ar,
thurs too houses; Joseph Wright, one
house; Mr.. Houston, one house; and
six others, the owners of which we
did not learn. Part of this was the
Site Of the second great fire last spring,
which had been rebuilt. We have no
estimate Of the loss, which is serious,
from being the all ofmany ofthe suf-
ferers. We believe there was little, if |
any, insured. 'ss'
