"Ihe Times says nothing has been so remarkable during the debate in IV.iliament as the declaration In favor of peace from conservatives as well as liberals. The war party finds itself in a small minority. Loth sides of the house will doubtless claim some advantage, but the real gain lies with the party which is on tho side of poiiee. If both parlies claim that honorable distinction, so much the better for the country. Therj being rumors in TuBcha that in event or that place having to be abandoned, orders had been given that it should be destroyed by the

retiring garrison. The consuls of Austria, Greece arid other States applied to the Governor who acknowledged that such were his order?, but before things came to such extremities ho would give the counsels and all aliens a timely warning to provide for the safety of their ierson.s and as much property as they could remove. Such orders, the Govornor added, had been sent to all persons commanding in Bulgaria. The government has given reassuring answers as to the safety of the persons of foreign subjects, but evinced some disposition to persevere in its destructive system of defensive warfare. Tho Turkish squadron bombarded a village near Sookgooinkale, and it is reported six Turkish ironchubs appeared before Sookgoomkale on the 11th. Tho Miridites have driven the Turks from Oroschi aftr a sanguinary fight, wherein th Turkish battalion wa-s.de-stroyed." It is reported that the M. indite chief will bring down a strong corps toco-operate with the Montenegrins. TVevvsjmpc. Decision. 1. Any person who takes a paper regularly from the postoflice whether directed to his nnme or another's, or whether he has subscribed or not is responsible for the payment. 2. If any person orders his paper discontinued, he must pay all arrearages or the publisher may continue to send it uidit it is paid, and collect the whole amount, whether the paper is taken from the ofliee or not. ;. Tho courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers trom the postoffice, . or removing amT leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidcr.ee ol intentional fraud. The following story is told by a Hartford clergymen: On his way home from the church he found himself behind three ladies engaged in a lively di-cu-sion over t he music of the service, one condemning the soprano and another the tenor, while the third stoutly defended both.

Resolved, That the matter of suffrage and eligibility to office be left to annual conferences respectively, provided that each annual conference shall be entitled to representatives in the sumo ratio in the general conferences, provided no rule .shall bo passed which shall infringe the right of suffrage 01 eligibility to office. Resolved, That the joint committee of conference recommend to the general convention of the Methodist Protestant and Methodist churches now in session the immediate organic union of the two bodies on a basis of union set forth in this report.

Low den disseuted from the majority upon tho third item relative to suffrage, which states that every male over IS years of age may vote, and desired that each annual conference might extend the right of suffrage to the fe. male members as they may elect. The Rev. W. II. Wills submitted the fol lowing with the report: The undersigned members of the joint committee, while assen ting to the foregoing report, invite tho attention of tho Methodist as well as of the Methodist Protestant convention in case of union to the difficulty which we fear will be impressed upon u? by the North Carolina conference relative to districting conferences, and begs from both conventions a remedy, and he would reserve tho right for himself, for his representations and for the North Carolina annual conference district to take such position either in joint convention or in the future as the exigencies of the case may require. Adjourned. The Methodist Protestant convention discussed the conference eemmitB j rep jrt, but adjournal without taking action.

London, May 15. - The Mark Lano Express says; A favorable change occurred in the weather at the beginning of last week. It is doubtful whether ths backward season has done any serious harm. With the warm weather which it is reasonable to expect the fears entertained in some districts will be dissipated. The spring sowing, even in late districts, perished. It is stated that in Cambridgeshire the acreage devoted to "Wheat is small. In Scotland " the weather has been dry but very cold. The pastures in the west are in a hopelessly backward state, and a warm rain is much needed to favor the growth of grasses.
