BALTIMORE; WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 18 1857 now it is very questionable whether it will pass. The pro-slavery and Republican papers are both out against it. Tbe pro-slavery men, it is said, are secretly working against It, deeming it impossible for them to get the vote favorable on the nigg*r question.
There are clauses In the instrument which, it Is alleged, are clearly at variance with many of the provisions of the constitution of the UnitedSfates, and, for this reason, if for no other, it should not be ratified by the popular vote. General Lane had left for Washington City. The court-house in Oregon City had been destroyed by fire. From South America. In Chili a new cabinet has been formed Mr.
Bigler, the new Minister from the United States, had arrivjed. In Bolivia the revolution continues. Doctor Linares has assumed the title of Provisional President and taken the field against the Constitutional President, Gen, Cordova. The cities of La Paz, Orura, Cocabamba and Chuqulsaca had pronounced against the government. Gen.
Cordova was marching-against the first-named city with 1,500 veterans. La Paz had a garrbion of only 1,500 reeruits. Linares was In Cochabamba, and he had Issued a decree declaring all Bolivians traitors who did not join him. Cordova had issued a counter decree condemning all persons to death whojoin-ed Linares, so that between them both the poor citizens are in rather a difficult position. In La Paz, the residence of the American Minister had been broken into, and the deposed authorities who had sought refuge under the United States fla? of Mr.
Dana, were taken therefrom. The revolution in the south of Pern also continues, but nothing decisive has occurred. Tub Mbthodist Protestant Convention. Its Action on the Slavery Question. We have already given a portion of the proceedings of this body, which assembled at Cincinnati last week The Cincinnati Gazette says it has determined upon pursuing the following policy: A committee appointed by this convention will attend tbe general conference at Lynchurg, in May next, and present ta that body a memorial from the convention protesting against the practices of voluntary slaveholding and slavetrading by members of the church, and calling upon the conference to take initiatory steps toward modifying the Constitution and Discipline, so as to meet the anti slavery spirit of the Nor'h, lay striking out all tbe objectionable features of those instruments and declaring that voluntary slaveholding and slavetrading shall hereafter constitute a barrier to membership iu the M.
P. Church. The general confirence not having constitutional authority to make these changes but upon recommendation of two-thirds of th.ear.nual conferences, that body is requested to exercise its prerogative in recommending such action to the annual conference. It is not expected, of course, that the general. conference will accede to imt it was supposed by members of the convention that the South were no less desirous for a dissolution than the North, and that the general conference' might be induced to consent to such dli-solution.
But no provision is made in the constitution for the withdrawal of any cf the annual conferences from the general body. It is proposed, therefore, that the general conference recommend to the ahnnual conference to call's special general meeting whichhall have power tojbmend the constitution asto release the annual conference from all obligati ons to meet in oneJgeEeral conference. Shouldtthe general conference agree to these propositions, a peaceful separation may be effected between the northern and southern divisions of the church. In case, however, the general conference should refuse to entertain any of these propositions, a convention is to be held in Springfield, in this State, in November, 15os, to take such as may be deemed necessary upon the response of the conference, which convention shall have power to organize a northern conference, to amend the constitution, and to authorize the publication of a new edition the Discipline, containing the necessary amendments. Such is the course determined upon by the convention, from which it will be seen that a separation, peaceful or otherwise, is inevitable.
There were various shades of sentiment represented in the convention-, and different opinions as to the manner and time in which the separation ougl to be effected, but all were agreed that the time had come when the church ought to sever itself from all connection with tbe evil of slavery, and from all responsibility for its continuance in the church.

The Los Angeles Star gives the following additional details with reference to the horrible massacre of an emigrant train on the plains by the Indians, of which we recently gave the substance: The scene of the massacre is differently designated as the Santa Clra canon, the Mountain Springs, and the Mountain Meadows. But all aeree in locating it near the rim of the Great Ba-sin. about fifty miles from Cedar City, the most southern of the Mormon settlements, and three hundred miles from Salt Lake City.
Of a party of about one hundred and thirty persons, only fifteen infant children were saved. The account was given by the Indians themselves to the Alor-mons at Cedar City, to which place they brought the children, who were purchased from them by tbe people of that city. Whether the cause assigned is sufficient to account for the resist, or whether a different cause is at the bottom of the transaction, we will leave the reader to form his own conclusion. We can scarcely believe tbat a party traveling along a highway would act in the manner described, that is to poison the carcass of an ox, and also the water, thus endangering the lives of those who were coming after them. Yet tbis is the story told by all wha have spoken of tbe massacre.
It -is stated the emigrants had an ox which died, and they placed poison in the body, and also poisoned the water standing in pools, for the purpose of killing tbe Indians; that several of the tribe had died from this cause, and that the whole force mustered, pursued the train, and, coming up with them at the above named place, which favored their purpose, attacked and murdered the whole party, except a few infant children. The Indians state that they made but one charge on the party, in which they cut off the greater portion of the men 4 and then guarded the outlets ecutive board, and delivery of missionary ad- drtsses.

The London Times, of the 2d inst contains a long biographical nftiee of ore of the "merchant princes" of the great metropolis, who has had most exta sive relations with this conntry.

We believe tbat it was Mr. Morrison who had a suit with the Dry Dock Bank in this city some years since. He went to London a poor boy. and laid the foundation of his great future by engaging in the dry eood trade, ia whictt he was the first to Introduce the principle of selling at a small profit to Increase the amount of hi sales. He afterwards Invested largely in lands, and owned large estates in several English coun ties ana also in Scotland.

The appre-hension cf further banking difficulties has greatly subsided. Of the Borough Bank of Liverpool the -Times says: From the system of management which it Is alleged will be developed whenever a full inquiry is made by the shareholders, it will probably be found that the fact of the extinction of this institution, if it had happened at a time free from a tendency to alarm, could not have been regarded as a public misfortune. The range of consols during the month of October was as much as four per cen "Monday being the day for the half-yearly balance at the Bank of England it was kept as a holiday at the Stock Exchange.

Attempt to Launch the Great Eastern.
The launch of the mammoth steamship heretofore known as the '-'Great Eastern," but now formally christened "Leviathan," was commenced at noon on the 3d inst. The usual means were taken to move the vessel, but for some time without avail After about three hours' labor the ship led Riovf about six feet by the stern and a little ovt-r four feet b3-' the bow, when one or the powerful purchase chains broke and the work had to be temporarily suspended- During tbe operations a sudden strain on one of the drums caused it to revolve with great velocity, throwing several of the men into the air like straws, and knocking down others with great violence. Four men had their arms and legs broken, one died as he was being conveyed to the LospitaL Immense numbers of people, including many distinguished men, asembled on shore ai on the river to witness the lau nch.

At the signals the lighters slow but steadily commenced to haul taut their tackle from the river, which, it was thought, would of itself bssufficient to bring the vessel gently down.

2- "THE SUN. LOCAL MATTERS. Caught in the Act. Yesterday afternoon, a young man, of apparently about 20 years, stopped at the jewelry store of Mr. J.
R. Wynn, at the corner of Baltimore r.reet and McClelland alley, and asked to be shown some gold chains Several were laid on tne counter Dy tne young man in attenaance and just at that moment three females, of genteel appearance entered. They at once spoke" to the youne man, and with him looked at the chains, the eldest holding np one and asking if that would suit him. lie carelessly remarKea mat 11 wouia, but seemed to hesitate about the price, $16. The women then left the store, and a minute after one of the chains was missed, rne young man was charged with the theft, which he utterly denied, and consented that his person be searched, that his innocence be established.
He was then asked who were the females, when he denied all knowl edge of them, saving that ne never saw eitner 01 them before. Police officer Start was called, when the young man became frightened, confessed that the women were his sisters, and that one of them had the chain He gave the name of ohn Henry, and the officer required him to go to assist in the search, which he reluctantly consented to do. After leaving the store the women separated, but on going down Baltimore street the officer found one of the women near Calvert street, took her by the hand and charged her with the theft. She in- dianantl denied the accusation, when the brother told her to give up the chain. She was then con ducted into a store near Dy, wnere sne arew tne stolen article from her stocking and delivered it to the son of the owner.
The parties were then conducted to the middle district police station, where, on the premise or future honest conduct, tney were permitted to depart. Such acts of lenity only serve to embolden thieves, while the law should take its proper course. A Persistent Thief. A day or two ago a man of respectable appearance called at the jewelry store 01 Mr. I.J.
tsrown, on uaitimore street, ana asked for a particular kind of breastpin, like that which his friend Dr. Humphries, of Cambridge, had purchased at that place. A large number were laid before him from which to select, but after parleying for some time ne lett, saying mat ne couia not una tne article ne wantea. ne men went to the store of Mr. Charles Blake, where he said h's friend had purchased the kind of pinihe wanted, but left, unable to find it, and went to the store of Mr.
John M. Holioway, where he also stated the kind of pin had been purchased, and where he also failed to -find one. In all ofthee places the attendants kept a strict watch, as they are obliged to do on strangers. He next directed, his steps to the store of Mr J. R.
Wynn, where the same story was told, and from which, immediately after he left, it was discovered that a gold chain, worth 820, had disappeared. Search was immediately made, but nothing could be found of the searcher ef ter the particular kind of breastpin, or of the chain that went along with him. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that no such person as he spoke of resides in Cambridge. Bobbery of a Clothing Store. Bald Operation.
Some time during Monday night the store of Samuel Helsby, merchant tailor, corner of Liberty and German streets, was broken into by burglars ana robbed of goods to the amount of 300 or The manner by which an entrance was effected into the establishment stamps the operation as an exceedingly bold one. The burglars first forced open the shutters which protected a window on German street, and by breaking the glass removed the fastening and raised the sua sufficiently to admit a person. In the Immediate vicinity are four jlamps, which, if burning, would have disclosed tbe operations of the burglars. The material stolen eousisted of French cloths, vetiagsand velvet goods. These were taken from the drawers, from among more valuable good, which were overlooked.
The robbery was not made known until yesterday mornlnsr a half-wasted Candle and some burnt papers were found in the store. Afterwards a piece of cloth and anurnber of cashmere vest patterns were found concealed behind soaie marble slabs on the pavement in front of the establishment of A. Gaddess. Nothing further is known the stolen goods or the burglars. Attempt Euary.

The whole frame of the lock was so much battered that yesterday morning it could not be opened except by C.J.
Stewart, the maker of it. Failing to break or pick the lock, a crowbar was then used on the moveable panel of the door, but that was so well secured by three screw bolts tbat tbe efforts of the burglars were futile. Immediately on the opposite side of the street there was a gas lamp burning at the time, and the store is situated within one hundred feet of Baltimore sirctt. and it probably required a half hour In the atttir.pt made to get into the store.

Each had her story of peculiar trial and bereavement to relate, except one pale, sad looking woman, whose lusterless eye and dejected air showed that she was a prey to tne aeepest meiancnoiy. cuuuniiy arousing herself, she said in a hollow voice, "Not one of you know what trouble is." "Will you please, Mrs. Gray," said the kind voice of a lady who well knew her story, "tell the ladies what you call trouble." "I will, if you desire," she replied, "for I have seen it.

Years rolled on peacefully. Five children sat around our table, and a little curly head still nestled in my bosom. One night about sun -down one ofthose fierce black storms came on which are so" common in our Southern climate. For many hours the rain poured, down incessantly. Morning dawned, still the elements raved.
The whole savannah seemed afloat. The little stream near our dwelling became a 1 aging torrent. Before we were aware of it our house was surrounded by water; I managed, with my babe to reach a little elevated spot, on which a few wide spreading trees were standing, whose dense foliage afforded some protection, while my husband and sons strove to save what they could of osr property. At last a fearful surge swept away my husband, and he never rose again. Ladies no one loved a husband more but that was not trouble.
"Presently my sons saw their danger, and the strusgle for life became the only consideration.

Governor of Mississippi on Banking. Gov. McRae's valedictory message to the Legislature of Mississippi is devoted wholly to State matters.
The leading point of the message Is its reference to bank institutions.

The Liverpool Albion says that Sir William Gore Ouseley, K.
C. B. (who arrived in the Arabia,) is entrusted with full powers to arrange the Greytown bombardment question with the President of the United States, and the other vexed auestions relating to Central America and the Musquito Indians. Sir W. G.
Ouseley, it adds, is a gentleman who has acquired considerable reputation as a statesman and pacificator, and he is also a personal friend of Mr. Buchanan. In making this appointment, Lord Palmerston has selected a minister not connected with his own political party, but connected with the Uni ted States by means of his wife, who is the daughter of an American citizen. Mr. James Morrison, one of the wealthiest merchants of London, is dead.

The shipping returns of the British board of trade for the month of September show an increase in the employment 01 all kinds of vessels, except American, the business of the latter having been affected by the commencement of the panic. The Roman Catholic Bishop of Toronto, Canada, in addressing a congregation at Kilkenny, is said to have "earnesly entreated the people, if they could by any possibility remain ia Ireland, not to think of emigrating, as it was almost in-cred ible the misery and wretchedness he constantly witnessed among the unfortunate Irish emigrants."
