BALTIMORE, November 20, IL M.-The streets
ave thronged with people, and the procession is
a very brilliant affair. The brotherhood we're
all clad in full suits of black CLOTH imparting
fine uniform appearance to the line. Numerous
hne bands of music gave the display much addi-
tioHal interest.
The various Commanders and Grand Com
manders of the Knights Templar, in their rich
and elegant uniforms, impart a degree of gor.
geousness which probably has rarely, if ever
been equalled by any similar display In this
country There are many magnificent banners
and flags in the procession, richly emblazoned
with the symbols of the order, conspicuous
among which were the Red Cross banners and
flags of the Templars.
1t is estimated that from 1000 to 5000 persons
are in the procession. The Columbia Com
mandery of Knights Templar, from Washington,
are accompanied by the celebrated Marine
Band.
The procession is now marching to the site
selected for the erection OF the new temple, on
Charles street, adjoining st. Pauls Church,
where there is immense gathering of the

derry on the 9th inst, arrived at 7'3O this
morning.
Anumber of Cabinet Councils had been held
in London.
The London Times says these Councils can
hardly be on the subject of Reform, as this
measure if any is in existence, is scarcely likely
to be in so forward state as to permit of an
elaborate discussion of its Details and it there
fore prcsumes that the attention of the Council
was occupied by departmental business, amongst
which, the Times hopes, is included the army
organization.
Sir j. L. Knight Bruce, late Lord Justice Of
the Court of Appeals died on the 7th instant.
The Times says the prospects of the tin trade
are again gloomy. The standard has been re.
duced two shillings per huBdredweight, the
prices being 73s. D76s for common to fine.
Gold was accumulatlng at Bank, and the dis
count market was inactive.
The stock Of cotton IN the port Of Liverpool is
63l 600 bales, of which $780, 600 are American.

BALTIMORE, November 20,-The city is thronged
with strangers, and business is almost entirely
suspended, in consequence of the Masonic cele-
bration. All the principal streets where the
procession passes, including the pavements,
windows, and doors, are literally packed with
spectators. An immense number of flags are
waving everywhere.
The different Lodges and Communicates are
preparing to march in grand procession, which

Masons, all in superb costumes. The ceremony
of laying the cornerstone takes place at noon.
John II. B. Latrobe, Grand Commander of the
Knights Templar of the United States, delivers
the address. President Johnson has arrived,
with other digntaries, and will be at the cele.
bration. The procession is now moving, and
