The aspect OF affairs in Wall street underwent
quite q change to-day, and the speculative feeling
was again decidedly bush IN Its tendency. +,

trusting the present turn IN the market; but several
days have passed without any indication that the re-
taxation Is artificial, and hence the renewal OF the
speculative fever. The fine open weather was also
ms trumental in contributing to the general
good humor Of the street, and the feeling
was general that the worst OF the periodical strip

Del'Ij!onf IuHUNI Conference.
WATERBURY, April Is, 1863.


The twenty fourth session of the Ner-
mont Annual Conference OF the M. f..
Church began here this morning, at .
o'clock. Bishop Thompson arrived
from the New York East Conference,
at Middletown, Conn, last evening,
and was present to open the Conference.
The Bishop is a scholarly, capable man
for his position, though slightly embar.
rassed with deafness. He presides with
ease, and conducts business with dis
patch. This is his first visit to this
Conference, but we hope it will not be
his last
There are about one hundred and
twenty ministers belonging to this Con-
ference, which includes little more
than half the territory of the State.
The state Of religion is reported as
prosperous among the churches, several
extensive and powerful revivals having
occurred at several places during the past
year.
The Sabbath School Anniversary was
held this af .ernoon. A large congr, ga
ton was in attendance, and listened to
interesting addresses from several
speakers.
There is preaching at the Methodist
church this evening.
The general exercises for each day
are: Conference Prayer Meeting at a
m. Conference business from 8 a. m. to
II M; Anniversary exercises at 2 p. M,
and at p. m. Anniversary meeting or
sermon.
The citizens of Waterbury have given
the Conference generous welcome; the
weather is pleasant, business is moving
pleasantly, and everything promises a
good occasion. A.
The following business items we CLEAN
from the Free Press:
