.7nnicerSary W,ck,-The closing ceremonies
of the week took place at the Mount Vernon
church on Friday, where most of the clergy,
who had been in after endance during the week
were present Short exhortations were given
by several clcrgymen on the state of religion
in their several parochal limits. Mr.. Kirk,
who led in the exercises, took for his subject
'the state Of pcty in ministers of tlo gospel
generally The clergy, he said, were too apt
to indulge in philosophy, poetry, &c, to crafty
the sensual appetite, without disturbing the
consciences of their hearers. DIR. Dana took
for his subject "the decline of the spirit Of
prayer in professcd christians" which he char
actcrlzed as the great defect in the best ofchrst-
ians. The subject of DIR. fuckers remarks
were "the injurious effects produced on the
church by spurious rcvivas." His own cx-
pcrience had taught them that undue cx-
element in religious revivals had produced
most disastrous results on the prosperity of the
church. DIR. Waterbury, Of Boston, in his re-
marks, enlarged on "the spirit of worldlness
that pervades the clergy" DR.. f. Beecher
spoke "on the retributons Of eternity" Mr..
Shepard, Of Bristol, X. l., on "thc dcclension
of family religion" and DR.. Humphrey on
"idelity in pastoral vsitations. ''-Boston Post

THs PRoSpEcTs OF PEAcE-The following
remarks of the New Orleans Picayune, will be
read with interest:
"As we anticipated, the return of the twelve
months volunteers, who constituted so mpor-
tant portion OF Gen Scots army, has embar
raSSed his plan Of marching Immediately upon
the city of Mexico. Major Gen. Patterson was
to have gone forward with the advance but
that officer is now in this city. The two Ten.
neSsce, the Sd and 1th Illinois, the Georgia and
Alabama regiments, have ali left the army
thus rendering it below force with which 10
enter the capital Of populous state with safety.
Gen. Scott will push forward to Puebla but
beyond this he will scarcely go till reinforced
unless he be invited there by the dissensons of
the enemy-in that case he will be prompted
more by the defenceleSs state of the city than by
the strength OF his own columns.
1t is the opinion of officers just returned from
Mexico-and we may mention the name of
Gen. Patterson IN this connection-that the
probability ofconquerng peace upon the plan
Of warfare hitherto pursued is slender indeed,
II is thought by them that an army of forty
thousand, rank and file, should be in the field !;
that captured cities should be put under the ju-
risdclion of American citizens; that the rcye-
nueS of the slate should be seized 10 defTay the
icxpcnses Of the war; that all the resources per
tanning 10 the Government should be held as
spoils of war; and that the military authority
set up by the United States army should eXer.
else all the powers of taxation and legislation
belonging To the civil administration of the
country. The plan embraces the idea of actual
conquest and absolute jurisdiction, and is deem.
ed the only feasible one of bringing the war to n
close

The Ohio had only six days from Vera Cruz to

Lieut.. Charles II. Hunter, who was among
the passengers, has arrived at New York. The

The sloop-of war jamestown is to be fitted
out with all despatch for the Coast of A frca
station, and is to be the flag ship of Commo-
dor Bolton. Her officers are ordered, and il
is expected that she will sail soon. Her great
speed fits her admirably for a cruiser on that
coast. The sloop-of-wnr Yorktown is still in
the dry dock, undergoing REPAIRS Bos. Times.
An "experimenta squadron" from France,
under the Prince de Joinville, il expected

FLoUR.-The prices Of bread siufIs, at New

under the heavy arrivals. Ii is difficult TO con
lecture, however, what will bo the ruling pri
ccs of the summer.-Probably it was never be
fore 50 difficult to Judge OF the foreign demand
as at the present. IL the demand were con.
fined to Great Britain, wa might Judge more
accurately: but when IL is recoliected that, al
the latest dates, the British market had been
cleared to such an extent. by purchasers for
the continent, as TO produce panic aud a
sudden rlse IN prices, we are at a loss for data
on which to make estimates.
Another consideration is also to be takon
into account, and that is the immense amount
Of tonnage which the British merchants have
sent over here, n large proportion OF it, un.
doubleday, al comparatively high rates, to load
with bread stuils. They have sent over here
five tunes The quantity Of Tonnage requisite 10
transport all our surplus bread siulIs and this
shows, either than they have oyerraled our
capacity 10 supply them with what is needed,
or their own wants which, time alone can
determine.
