diness to be installed under the old order of alrs
The Albany corresp2nJen! Of the n. York Her
aid, says:
This movement oc the Hope Lodge aroused
the virtu0us wrath Of the other Lodges IN the city;
accordingly when the Grand Master arrived in
this city from n. York to install the Hope Lodge
the members Of nearly all the Lodges in the civ
assembled at the Hope Lodge, wiki view TO pre-.
vent The installation. Several hundred men were
present, and the reception Of The Grand Nusccg
was anything but courteous. After some iJcs
and jecrs were INDUCED IL, The Grand Master de.
sired all but the members of the Hope Lodge tn
leave tho room the members Of other Lodges re-
fused TO do so; they refused 10 recognise lhe

tins aud Mr. that, and treated him, in fact, with
contempt The members Of other Lodges finally
witirircw, but they stationed themselves without
the door, and when he installation was completed
the members Of the Hope Lodge, on mixing their
esress, were abused uuI iusIltoI by .aor brethren

CRops.-The crops have been, generally. very
good throughout the Nation this year. cvceDting
corn; OF which, however, thoro Is sufficient for
nome consumption. Cotton, the principal article
OF export, mas yielded something over an avcrao,
crop notwithstanding the worms preyei upon it,.
tho carly part of the season, TO The extent as TO
give good cause Of alarm for tho serious damage
that was likely thereby to result to our farmers.
such fears were soon dissip1tcd by the disappslr-
ing OF the worms. And from The decidedly IA.
yoraJ.e weather for picking since the commence
menI Of the season, with the exception Of the two
weeks las: past, we think the growers of that ar-
ucIo will make profitable business Of this wear.

THEoLoGIEiL SrUDExrs.-In the pres,3, con.
dition Of tho world in reference to increasing calls
for ministers and missionaries, il is stated as an
interesting fact, that Of the 2l late graduates from
La Fayetto College. Is are preparing for tho sa-
cred Office. In the Congregational and Prcsbvte.

pears from their catalogues, their has been, with
IN the last six years, falling Off on average, of
two fliths in their numbers; and probably abou,

An ANCIENT PREss.--But few Of our readers
are aware, we suspect, that the press upon which
our little sheet is printed is the oldest now in use
IN tho u States and probably in the world. Yet
such is fact. The press now used by us has
been IN almost constant service for moro than Il
hundred years. Upon it was printed the Mary
lana Gazette the earliest paper published in the
province OF Maryland, and Que among the very
hrst IN America. Upon it also, was printed the
hrst volume of the laws Of MARYLAND that ever an.
peared. 1t Is constructed somewhat on the Ram
age principle, and requires three pulls though Two
were originally sufficient, to produce Il good i'm

Thos. P. PenOyer for files of papers from Belize,

FROM CENTRAL AMEMcA.--Our adyices from
the city Of Guaiamala are of the most disastrous
and dePorablo kind. All government and order
are OF an end within the city, and without il is sur
rounded by Seropio Cruz. The insurgents de.
mand four days sackug of tho ci,v or one hum.

offered out it was refused, and il is feared unless
the whole amount demnnded is given thom, they
Will put their threat into execution, as there is no
authority or power to prevent them.
