| The conference did little business of interest
at it's meeting on Saturday. The majority of
the committee on slavery expunged from their
report those paragraphs which reflected on the
| majority of the same committee, and so restor-
ed peace and harmony. A silver watch, over
century old, which had belonged to the late
Bishop Asbury, was presented to Bishop Nor
ris, the senior Bishop of the denomination.
Rev. Geo. Peck, (Wyoming,) from the COM
mittee on Episcopacy, reported that the COM
plant Of Rev. Hiram MattisOn aga nst Bishop
Ames, for alleged maladministration In the
Philadelphia conference, was not sustained
The conference confirmed the report unan-
mously.
The committee on Itinerancy reported that
in the case Of VIM. Quinn, the STAKEHOLDER
whose character was passed by the Phila. con-
ference, the Discipline was not violated, but
that it did not answer the inquiry, "Can slave
holdersbe classIeaders!" previously asked by
resolution. The report was adopted.
Rev. Mr.. Trimble, from the committee on
Itinerancy. offered report stating that it was
inadvisable TO allow an extension of time TO
years in general. Particular cases, however
might demand this extension.
A few days ago, acting under the excitement
occasioned by the remarks of Rev. Mr.. Colcla
zer Gas to tho mobbipg ofa Methodist church ir
f Eastern Virginia), the conference agreed to ap
point committee to memorialiZs the differen
| State administrations for protection TO Metho
dist ministers. The committee consists of Rev
Messrs. Castle, Corkhill, Hunter, Abbott AM
, Landon. Memorials will be especially directet
to the Governors of States within slave terri
y tory.
e An adjournment is contemplated during th
e first week of June. The slavery question will
be discussed this week.
r The conference, Monday, after a long dis
- cussion, adopted the report Of the committee o
n Missions, establishing a conference in Arizon
g and New Mexico. Until organized, howeve
h the District is to be under the care of the F,
reign Missionary Board. The committee on tn
:. Bible cause recommended vigorous prosecl
,s tion of the work through the dominions OF Ii
II Greek and Roman churches in Europe al

The Moving

OF the house of James R. Clements, Esq, last
week, was accomplished very successfully, not
s'ithstanding the difficulties attending it. The
part used as dining and sitting room was
moved with much labor (being built when the
town was a small village, of heavy logs, the
kind of material used at that day,) up on the
.Hill'' to Union st. The larger part was then
with much precautionary preparation-includ-
ing the chimney-moved to the place occupied
by the first named part. 1t was very difficult
task, such as most persons would shrunk from
but, under the superior management of Messrs
John A. Cavender, Richard Mitchell and VIM
AL Clouds. with the aid of the capstan, crabb
jask-screw and other mechanical appliances
the job, when once ready, was speedily accom-
plshed. Mr.. Clements object in making th'
change is to give room for a new brick dwell
ing, which the workmen are now preparing Il
erect. We have been shown draft of tn,
new building by the architect, Mr.. Richar'
Mitchell, which indicates that it will be ih
most ornamental as we'll as the most subsian
