BALTIMORE, December Id p. m.
The fine brick church of the Emanuel Evange-
cal Association, on the corner of Eutaw and Cam
den streets was destroyed by fire yesterday morn
ing, along with a portion Of the board yard Of
Messrs Hiss Austin, in which the fire first origi
mated Nothing but the bare walls of the church is
left though they have an insurance of 5 5000.
Miss Oatharinc Hayes, the Swan Of Erin, arrived
in Baltimore this afternoon and has taken quarters
at Barnum's. Professor Yolandt is preparing to
give her fine serenade tonight; and the rush for
seats notwithstanding the immense size OF the new
Hall Of the Maryland Institute, indicates that the
excitement will equal that accompanying the
debut OF Jenny Lind number Of seats have
already been secured by parties from Washington.
The Liberia Packet arrived here Saturday. in
fifty days from Liberia. Eli and Sybil Jones, of
Maine, two ministers of the Society of Friends,
turned in the Packet, after absence of five
months in Africa, during which they enjoyed good
health, visited all the American colonies, and were
much pleased with all they in the country. The
Packet will sail again the 3lst instant, and its
expected, will take out large number of colored
emigrAnts from Maryland and Virginia.
There is considerable diversity ofopinion among
the Odd Fellows in this city to the propriety of
their uniting in the proposed reception of General
Kossuth, and one, if not more Of the lodges, have
resolved not to turn out on the occasion, but to
leave their members in their individual capacity to
show the great Hungarian leader such marks of
respect as they may deem proper Their objection
ia. that he ia political mission, and they have
consequently no right TO give him public recep-
ton as Odd Fellows.
The hasty action of the House Of Representatives
the Kossuth resolution has caused considerable
eurprise here, but the resolution, having been in
troduced IN Congress, there was seeming neces-
aity for its adoption.

Gales of 100 barrels Howard street flour at S 939,
