.n-Ay- The PhIladelpnIa Annual Conference oi
the M: E. Church meets in Wilmington to-day
According 10 the economy of this body OF Chris
,ians. The relation of Pastor and Congregation
will be dissolved in many places, and, no matter
how strong the tie of friendship may have been
voyeu. or the bonds of love welded, they mIst
now be separated. Between the preacher ana
the people, there frequently arise feelings 0I
the greatest love and esteem, aud IN no place
ia this more 80 than with the pastor ct the M.
EvChurch. in this town, the Rev. William u
Robinson. AS a preacher he possesses more
than ordinary ability, as a pastor he watches
over his flock with much care and as gentle
man and Christian he demands, by his strictly
upright demeanor, the approval OF all.
In the Rev. S. NJ. Cooper, preacher in charge
of the Circuit, who has also resided IN our town
for the last two years, we have ever found the
true digniied gentleman and uncompromlsine
Christian. Mr.. c. is a man of great lndlvidu
ality,-a strong reasoner and debater-an'
breaches the plain, unvarnished truth, in 1t
purity and simplicity.
Both these gentlemen leave their respective
fields of labor with the good wishes OF all W.T.
whom they have been connected.

MlsRArIss.-,;everal of our citizens have
concluded to try their fortunes in the "tar
West" from whence such accounts of sudden
and astonishing wealth are continually COM
ing. No doubt more ample field for enter
prise il presented there than in the Atlantic
States. Messrs. Henry c. SPruance, Robert
BAILEY. and Jos. r. Schmidt, have already taken
their departure, and the first two named have
settled ON the Mississippi river, in Illinois,
Mr. Spruance at Chester. Mr.. Schmidt pur'
poses locating in Chicago. The following gen.
tlemen. we learn, intend leaving shortly for the
same region:-John w. Savin, Thos. l.. Sutton
and Samuel C. Eaton. Mr.. Sutton intends set
tling in or near Des Moines, Iowa; the othei
swo gentlemen have not, as yet, we understand
chosen places at which to locate. We regre

IHE EOREiGN NEws.-The news by the Alps
at this port, from Liverpool, is quite important.
The British Ministry have been defeated, a vote
of censure for their conduct in opening hostiii-
ties with China having been passed on the mo-
tion Of Mr.. Golden. The defeat was brought
about by accumulation ofthe Pee.ites and Con-
servatives, and this brings Lord John Russell
again before the country as the leader of the
opposition and {" the coming man."
The def at OF. the ministry must have been
quite unexpected, for on previous divisions at
this same session, they have trinmphed by large
majorities. But this vote must be regarded as
| a gratifying evidence that the unnecessary and
unprovoked war with China, commenced upon
the most frivolous pretext, meets with little ia.

The News FRoM CHINA.-by the Alps, says
the NeW York Express is of deeply interes-
ting character. If the rumor be true, that the
rebels in the south have come TO an understand
ing with Yen, and combined to expel the bar
barians," then it does, indeed. look as if there
were long and bloody war ahead,-in which
France and the United States are to be largely
involved. True or not, however, it is a sgni-
6cant circumstance, that the rebels do not seem
to take advantage of the present state of affairs
to press the imperialsts anywhere near Can
ton. 1t is safe. ihereforr, to infer that the Eng
lish are not to have,-what they evidently ex-
pected,-the cooperation of the insurrectiOn'
lists against the imperialists.
During the debates in Parliament, we have
been treated to a great deal Of fine rhetoric
about Humanity" and " Christianity" in de-
precation of hostilties on the part of the Brit
ish and Americans, but the horrible atrocities
which the Celestials have been perpetrating
would almost seem to show, that mercy anC
forbearance are things thrown away upon sBel
wretches. Cutting off the heads ofoutside bar
barians. bagging them by dozens, and carrying
them to the agents of the Imperial Commission
er, is the humane work in which the rabble ap
pear to delight. The massacre on board th'
Thistle, we see, had one American among il
victims.

Several warehouses destroyed were filled with
whiskey. AS soon as the two banks caught
fire there was a stream Of whiskey, brandy. ale,
rum and gin that commenced flowing through

currents caught fire. The blue lambent flames
floated down the broad thoronghfares OF our

fresh breezes from the southwest. We saw
negro endeavoring to extinguish the flames that
he might get drink. He brushed the floating
fire up the stream and dipped into il his fiat

How AMERICA WAS PEoPLED.-The Rev. DR.,
Hawks has recently been delivering series Of
lectures, intended to show that this continent
was peopled by successive migrations from the
old world. at different eras and by different ra-
ces. First, from the shores Of the Mediterrane-
an, which was the earliest Of commercial enter
prise, and the people from which have their
record upon the vast ruins Of Yucatan; next
from China and Japan to Mexico. Central and
South America; and next from Northern Asia,
from which the American tribes Of Indians
came. These theories are maintained by re-
markable analogies between the languages pre-
vailing in different parts Of the Eastern conti-
nent, with those to be found on this continent.
