C., April 2, 1551, 9:30 a m. For the middle states, generally fair weather, northwest to southwest winds, rising barom: eter, stationary or slight rise in temperature, Betcer Weather for Sunday. The chicf signal officer furnishes the follow- ing special bulletin to the press: The storm which was Central {n the middle and east Atlante coasts. during Thursday and Friaay, has moved tothe northeastward of Halifax, and has been followed on the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida, by brisk and high northwest winds, and colder partly cloudy weather. The temperature continues from 10 to 2% de- grees below the mncan for the month in the dis- Uricts east of the Mississippi, and it is below freezing at Montgomery, Atlanta, Augusta, Chark ston, Vicksburg, and thence northeast- ward to New England. A storm has apparently developed in the upper Misgourl valley, accom- pues by ight snows in Minnesota, Dakota, Nebraska and fowa, and warmer southeriy winds In the northwest. The indications are that fair and warmer weather will prevail on Sunday in the districts on the Atlantic coast, from Maine to Alabama and Florida, with winds gredually diminishing in force. The tempera- ture will rise In the Lake region sod thence southwestw ard to Texas during Sunday. RANGE OF THE THERMOMETER !

BISHOP ANDREWS, THR RRFERRK, DECIDES THAT DR. DKALS MUST STICK—T! IN THE CHURCH—FIFTY F ‘The matter of the dissatistacuion among the members of Ryland Chapei congregation, in consequence of the appolatment of Rev. Dr. dy S, Deale to the pastorate, has been under con- sideration by Bishop Andrews, to whom ft was referred. As has been stated heretofore, the condition of affairs at Ryland ts attracting the { pn; attention of the Methodists generally, not oniy In this city but In Baltimore, and some seem to think that the case will have an important bearing on future legislation IN REGARD TO PRESIDING ELDERS, It fs claimed by many that there 1s too much power given to the prestilng clders; that with an enlightened ministry and intelligent mem- bership there Is little or no use for the office. They favor the adoption of some such provision as thatin the Methodist Protestant Church to Station all the ministers, and have In each dis- Uret a chairman as adviser to such young min- isters as may be stationed therein, and who may heed the oversight of some older person, Should the decision of Isishop Andrews sius- tain the appointment of Dr. Deale, It Is thought that an independent congregation will be formed or perhaps they will adopt the disci- piine of the Methodist Protestant Church. Ip other Methodist churches the Ryland trouble has been freely canvassed, but the of- ficial boards generally dislike to take any ac- tion, Waugh chapel quarterly conference, at its last_ meeting, adopted resolutions hearttly sympathizing with Dr. Deale 1a bis present ap- potntment, made without his desire or solicita- Uon. They also express their high apprecia- ton of Dr. Deale’s worth, tategrify, &c. In Mctropeiitan church, 1t 1s'stated an’ attempi Was inade to_pass resohitions reflectiag on the objectors to Dr. Neale’s appotntment, but one of the members advising that they look further into the matter, and make sure of their pre- Tulses, the subject was dropped. BISHOP ANDREWS’ DECISION. The official board met last evening, anticl- pating that a letter would be received from Bishop Andrews finally disposing of the mat- ter, Dut In this they were disappointed. Ono of the board stated that he liad read the letter of the bishop, which had beea prepared, and that he reviéwed the controversy at length arriving at the conciustou that the chutea must submit to the appointment as mad3. Tae letter concluded by expressing the hope that Dr, Deale would be received ag the pastor by the people. ‘This announcement led to 9 long discussion agto What \as best to be done under the cir- cumstances; which discussion continued sev- ours. It was Claimed by some that this {mation they should submit, and eight members of the board, fncluding Mesara, Ww , Harinon, Keller and Murphy, concladed beraw further objection. timated that fully tl itudraw their certifica Gance from the chur Real Estate Sales. ‘The following sales of real estate nave lately been made by Fitch, Fox & Brown: For Prof. G, Wilkinson, to Glles Blaque, esq, of Now | York, £UV-JOt 4, equsre 195, fronting 24 feet 1 inches on K street, between 15ib and isth atreete, for $5,550 cash, For A.
