RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The Methodists ou the State of the Union.
The New York Conference of the Methodist Epis
copal church, which has just closed its annual ses
sion in the city of New York, has. added, another
laurel to the unswerving and practical patriotism of
this denomination. Oh Saturday last, the • scene
presented in the Temple, on Fourth street, where
they were assembled, according to the published ac
counts, must have been one of exciting interest. On
-the morning of that day the committee appointed by
Contei ence to draft a preamble and resolutions on
tne State of the Union, reported through their chair
man, the Rev. Alfred Cookraan, formerly of this
city. Whatever scruples Christian ministers, in
their representative bodies, may have about can
vassing the absorbing political question of the hour,
no one will deny that when a platform of principles'
and opinions is--expressed at all, it ought to be in
terms easily .understood, and not in such equivocal
phrases as with a little ecclesiastical legerdemain
can be made to look equally favorable" to patriots
and traitors. Happily, in the subjoined resolutions
of the Methodist Episcopal Church there are no
loopholes left for a sympathizer to escape without
bearing with him his appropriate mark ; though, as
every flock has its black sheep, so, in this instance,
as will be seen hereafter, there were two political
"goats,” (only two) f both of whom will, do doubt,
one day feel ashamed of the bad notoriety whioh
they earned for themselves by their course on Sa
turday last. .
The platform referred to is as follows:
Whereas, The Southern rebellion, gigantic in its pro
portions, and unparalleled In its wickedness, continues,
to imperiltfce existence of this Republic; and
Whereas., Our national life is intimately identified, not
only with the cause of civil and religious liberty in the
world, but also with the best interests , of the kingdom
of Christ; for, so far as we may judge, our nation is a
choice and chosen instrument for the extension and es
tablishment of that huigdom on iheearth; aud
In a crisis like the present, it is the solemn
duty of every citizen to rally to the support of a cause so ’
unspeakably important and glorious; therefore,
Resolved, 1. That, as m-inhere aud ministers of the
Meihodist Episcopal'Church wlthiu the bounds of the
New York Annua- Conference, we cheerfully renew our
vows of uncompromising and unconditional loyalty to
•the United Stales of,Amoriea —a nationality we are prond
to acknowledge, and resolved, with the blessing of
Heaven, to maintain , „
2. That it is our duty, enforced alike by the Word of;
God and our Book of Discipline, to nub Ait, to co-operate
with ibe regularly constituted civil authorities; audio
enjoin the eameupon our people.
3 That while we do not deny, but rather recognize
'and defend, the right of our people to discuss the mea
sures and policy of the Government, at the same time we
would counsel that m the present critical condition of
public affairs, this right is to be exercised with great for
bearance, caution, and prudence.
4. 1 bat the conduct of those who. influenced by politi
cal affinities, or Southern sympathies, and uuder the
pretext, of discriminating between-the Administration
and the Government, throw themselves in the path of
every warlike measure, is, in oar view, acovtrt treason,
which has the malignity, withont.the manliness, of those
who have arrayed themselves in open hostility to our
liberties, and is deservingof oar sternest, denunciations
end out moht determined opposition v
That slavery is an evil incompatible in its spirit and
practice with the principlescf Christianity, with repub
lican institutions, with the peace and prosperity of the
country, and with the traditions, doctrines, and disci
pline of our Church; and our long and anxious inquiry,
What shall be done for its extirpation? has been singu
larly answered by Di'vine Providence, which has given
to Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, the
power and the disposition to issue a proclamation gua
rantying the boon of freedom to millions of Southern
bonamen. • , -
4 6. That we heartly concur in -this proclamation, as in
dicating the righteousness of our cause, securing the.
sympathies of'the liberty*lovivg the world over; and,
above all, assuring the approbation of the Universal Fa
ther, who.is invariably on the side of justice and free
dom. ,
7. That wefind abundant reason fongratUude and en
couragement iii the recent revival of the nation’s pa
triotism, in tbe maintenance of the public credit, in the
change of.public opinion abroad,' espe-iiaily in Eng
land, and in the gradual, but we trust sure, progress of
our arms.
8 That we cordially accept the President’s recommea
dation to observe the 30th day of the present month as a
season ofsolemn fasting and grayer, and that; assem
bling in ourvarious places of worship, wa will humble
ourselves, and earnestly supplicate tae great Holer of
Nations to forgive our national offences—to guide, sustain,
andbleBSour public rulers; to look on oar army and
navy mercifully,, giving success to our arms, so that this
infamous rebellion may.be speedily crushed, and p9ace,
at once righteous and permanent; may return to smile on
•our American hi rttage.r
9. That our interest and sympathy for those who repre
sent us in the .field continue ULabated, and taac to all
those who are suffering in consequence of the havoc or
desolation of this.terrible war, we offer oar sinesrest
sympathies and our Christian condolence.
It is stated that while the foregoing report was
being read- the enthusiasm of the members was in
tense, even to vociferous applause. On motion of
the Key. Mr, Fox, the resolutions were read a second
time, and voted upon seriatim by yeas and nays,
thereßult being a unamimous endorsement of them,
with the two exceptions already referred to. One
Of these objectors was the Rev. Mr. Silleck, of West
Camp, Ulster county, under the pretext that he
“did not like the Abolition character .of the reso
lutions.”-The region of West Camp iB accused of
swarming with Copperheads, and this may account
for the.;-reverend gentleman’s hatred of his black
brethren on account of their complexion. The
- other “nay” was voted by the Rev; Dr. Oattell or
Kettell, of Rhinebeck, who also insulted the sqnse
of the Conference by attempting a miserable defence
of his vote, in the oourse of which he showed his
luck of sympathy with the Government, and his de
sire for a degrading peace. He was “hissed”. as he
doubtless deserved to be.
More about the Conklin Case.— lt is seldom
that popularity is so embarrassingly affectionate in
its embraces of any public man as it has been in the
case of .the Rev. Mr. Conklin, pastor of Scott’s
Church, Spruce Btreet, above Fourth. Our readers
are already aware of the fact that Mr. Conklin re
ceived a call from the Third Reformed Butch Church,
Tenth and Filbert streets; that he declined it; that
the people of his own charge thereupon rewarded
him,for his fidelity to them by largely increasing his
pay*, that subsequently the Arch-street Presbyterian
Church conceived a design upon him, to whioh they
gave expression in a very audible “call,” and that
theiSßue of said call is now in the hands of the
Presbytery. The latter body held a meeting at the
church of Mr. Conklin on last Monday to act upon
the matter, but did not arrive at a final result., A
number of speeches were made on the occasion—one
among others by Rev. Br. Boardman, who thought
that, as Mr. Conklin had, on his own responsibility,
accepted the call made to him by the Arch-street
Church, he bad virtually taken the matter out of
the hands of the Presbytery ; it was, nevertheless,
V>r the latter to say whether they would sanction
Mb course. . He believed Mr. C. to be a good man
and an excellent preacher, but he had no doubt that
there were others equally excellent,- who. could fill
the pulpit of the churoh which Mr. G. was so de
sirous of vacating. His own opinion was, that Mr.
Conklin had; better stay where he ib; nevertheless,
as he had severed the union with his people by his
own act, it was not in the natufee of things that this
union could go on with the same blessing ab before.
The meeting passed a resolution requesting Mr. G.
to withdraw his letter of acceptance,and. appointed
another meeting of'Presbyteryto'beheldon Monday
next, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Conklin’s reply
to this resolution. Mush interest is felt in the result
of this peculiar case.
A Praiseworthy. Enterprise.— A number of
oonnecsted withjtkfi'.Rev. Br. Shield’s church,
Seventh street, recently got up a fair
at the residence of one of the ladies, for the benefit of
the soldiers, and in a very quiet, unobtrUßive way,
succeeded in a few days in realizing over one thou
sand dollars. for this:worthy purpose. The money
has been apportioned to the Ladieß’ Aid Society, the
Toung Men’s Christian Commission, and other me
diums through which the soldiers will be benefited.
The National. Fast Day, on Thursday next,
will be generally observed in the different churches
of our city and throughout the country. In Borne
of them, we are informed, collections will be taken
up on that day for the benefit of the Bick and wound
ed soldiers. The churches in the city of Pittsburg,
of all denominations, have determined to take up
collections for the Christian Commission—a sugges
tion also which the latter make through their chair
man, George H. Stuart, Esq., in the columns of
the Presbyterian, as worthy the emulation of our
churches generally.
Spurgeon’s Usefulness.— Thejtve hundredth Ber
mon of the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon has just been pub
lished. No less than eight million copies of his ser
mons are now in the hands of the public. Since
entering upon the duties of the church of which he
is now pastor, he has baptized over three thousand
persons. His college now numbers fifty-four stu
dents, and it is stated that if It contained four hun
dred there would be no difficulty in finding for them
Ml suitable spheres of labor.
The Catholics have secured the a bill
by the Canadian Parliament by which the popula
tion of that faith in Upper Canada will have sepa
rate schools for the education of their children.
Noonday Prayer Meeting.— lt haß been ar
ranged that the Noonday Prayer Meeting on Fast
Day, (Thursday next,) will commence at 12>£ P. M.,
instead of 12 Mi, when it is proposed to carry out
the suggestions of the President in his proclamation,
as far as possible.
Baptist Convention.— A convention of the
<( close communion’’Baptists of England is about to
be held in London, to deviße measures to resist the
tide of open communion which seems to be carrying
all before it in the old country. The “ strict Bap
tists ” fear that the plan of uniting the different dis
senting evangelical denominations in one will be
successful. In reply to a letter stating this fact, the
Baptist Pastoral Conference of New York city have
- written to England, that, among the regular Baptists
in this country, there is no such thing as open com*
munion, and that success attendß the strict execu
tion ofthat rule.
Conversions to Catholicity in England.—
Conversions to Catholicity in England are going on
: more, rapidly now, sayrf the Boston Pilot, than they
have done for the last ten years. Among others, the
Marchioness of Londonderry, daughter of Lord
Roden; Mr. Calcutt, M. P. for the county of Glare:
and the Key. Mr. Garde, one of the most influential
oi the Protestant clergymen of London, have been
leceived within the last few weeks. The last num
ber of the Guardian, an organof the Low Church
party here, denies'a report come time since circula
ted regarding the conversion of the Marchioness of
and . that journal Beema to be very
angry about the matter. But it is quite true, never
theless, that the Marchioness has become a Catholic.
EmMittsburg, Md.—Rev. W. V. Gotwald, now
of the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, has ac
cepted a call from the Lutheran congregation at
Emmittsburg, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
removal of Rev. H. Bishop to Baltimore.
The First Methodist Church in Lynn, by a
contribution of one hundred and fifty dollars, has
made General Hooker a life director of the Mis
sionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal. Church.
The Church in Danville, Pa,, have lately pur
chased a parsonage, and are about erecting a house
of worship to cost $7,000. r 7 .
Baptist Church Conventions.— We learn that
the national organizations connected with the Bap
tist denomination are to hold their anniversaries for
1863 in Cleveland in May. These meetings cotn
mence on the 19th of May, opening with the Ameri
can Baptist Missionary "Union, to be followed on the
Slat by the American Baptist Home Misßionary So
ciety ; and, on the 22d. by the American Baptist Pub-
Jication Society, It ib expected thatfromeight to
twelve hundred gathered from New Eng
land, the Middle, , Northern, and Western States,
will be in attendance. The approaching anniver
sary of the Missionary Union will be the forty-ninth.
It has had an eventful history. The' vetern mis
sionary Judson was'sustained during his career of s
more than a third of a century by this Dody. It now
has in charge fifteen Asiatic Missions, with 370 out
stations. Ithas 79 missionaries sent from this couh
try ; over4oonative preachersm Asia; 375m188i0n,
churches; a membership of over 31,000. with addi
tions by conversions through the. labors‘of its mis-
Bionaries of over 3,600 during the past year. Inclu
ding mlßßlonarlea and native preachers, the total in
the whole field under the care of this Union is 641

THE CIT Y.
Tite National Fast Day—Address op
Bishop Potter.—Right Rev. AlonsO Potter, Bishop
of the diocese of Pennsylvania, has issued a pastoral
letter to the clergy and congregations of the dioceae,
appointing' a special service to be observed oh the
fast day appointed by the President. The service is
to be the same, with slight exceptions, as that used
on Ash Wednesday. The address is as follows:
My Dear Brethren: The President of the United
States has designated Thursday, the 80th day of Aoril
instant, as a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer
Every pious heart must respond to the propriety of
-.such an appointment, and everyone who loves hU coun
try must desire to see it duly and solemnly observed ,
■We have sinned not only as individuals, but as a nation."
Our rapid growth and our unbounded prosperity hare
filled,us with, presumption and seif-confidence. instead
of. considering .by whose help we have .prospered, we
have, too often; persuaded ourselves that it was our own
power and the might of our own hands that had gotten u>
this wealth. We have rioted in our fntnoss of bread, have
disregarded the-rights aud the welfare, of,races who
have been made dependent upon us, and by our profane
nees a!nd lensualhy. our violence and injustice, have
greatly provoked the Divine anger. That anger bas now
expressed itself m a war, which, however unavoidable
or righteous on our, part, is attended, like all wars, by
bloodshed, crime, and woe, and which, as a civil
war of vast extent and of intensified passion, is ac
companied with peculiar horrors and-with appalling
dangers •-
J.et us, then, in anticipation of the appointed day,
consider how imperatively we are called upon; as a na
tion, to humble ourselves before the Lord. When it ar
rivep, let us lay aside all worldly cares and occupations,
and in our closets, families, and religious assemblies
invoke His forgiveness and blessing. Let us implore of
the Giver of every good and perfect gift that, for His
dearjson’s sake, He will bestow upon this whole peo
ple the grace of sincere contrition and amendment, and
in His own good time, and in Bis own mysterious
way. He will again restore to us the blessings of peace,
ana the stability of arlghteons and godly concord. Let
-us think lets of the sins of those who are arrayed against
us, and more of our own. Let us remember that the
race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; and,
instead of a vain confidence in our own resources, or our
own strength, let us remember that, unless the Lord go
forth with our armies defeat awaits the most stupendous
efforts and preparations, and that unless He give grace
and wisdom to our rulers and people allour counsels will
come to nought.
Right Rev. Bishop Odenheimer has also issued a
similar address to the clergy and laity of New Jer
sey. The day will be duly observed throughout this
city. As is usual upon such occasions, the heads of
departments, stores, and other public places of busi
ness will be closed. Eloquent and patriotic aer-.
mons will be delivered, and the day will be marked
with unusual solemnity.
Baileoad from Millville to Cape
May. —The direct line of railroad between thiß city
and Oape Island will be in operation by the Ist of
next JuDe. This is rendered certain by the fact that
the most powerful corporation of New Jersey, the
Camden and Amboy Company, has subscribed: for
the bondß of the Cape May and Millville line to the
extent of $lOO,OOO at par, while an additional $lOO,-
000 has also been taken bythe Millville and Ghiß
boro Of the stock, $200,000 worth has
been secured by other corporations andprivatesub
scribers.
The estimated cost of the Cape May and Millville
Railroad is $12,500 per mile, and the distance be
tween the termini is forty-one miles. The line passes
through a section of country of unrivalled fertility,
the products of which, consisting of fruits and vege
tables, have heretofore reached the markets of the
North as early in the season as those from Norfolk,
Va. The running time of express trains from Cam
den and Cape Island will be three hours, and the
whole distance eighty miles. The new road, which
is now graded, from Millville to Cape May, will be
laid with rail weighingforty-five,pounds to the yard,
and ballasted with coarse gravel r Engines and cars
have , been bought, paid for, and shipped to Cape
Island, from which point the; track-layers are pro
ceeding northward at the rate of one mile per diem.
This iB also the rate of the men who are working
their:way south from Millville. The passenger cars
which have' been obtained are placed upon twelve
wheels, thereby insuring greater ease of motion and
more security during/ a fast run. A passengsr rail
way will be completed by June Ist, connecting the
ddpdt at Cape Island with all the hotels. The cars
fojt this a Cape ißland Passenger Railway,”: as it.is
called, have been procured, and are awaiting ship
ment from this city. A telegraph line is also in
course of construction.
Probable Time ©f the Draft.—All
sorts of conjectures are made among the curious as
to the probable time when the conscription act will
be put in force. That it will take place no one
doubts, but the query at present is as to the time.
If the enrolling boards are appointed, organized, and
ready to. begin their duties. by the first of -next
month, it will be about as much as can be expected.
Give them only six weeks for the completion of
their herculean labors, and we shall have the lists
prepared lor drafting not before the middle of June.
Suppose the draft takes place instantly, the act al
lows the drafted men ten days before they are re
quired to report for duty. In this time they may
procure substitutes, or close up their business and
prepare to take the field. It thus appears that, un
der the most energetic and expeditious execution of
tbe act that is possible, it must necessarily be the
last week of June before troops can be obtained un
der it. The fixing of the first day of July for the be
ginning of its operative power to put'men in the
field is, therefore, not a blunder, but a careful and
successful calculation to make available every day
of the duration of the. act for the national defence.
The act also includes only men whose ages shall be
on the firßt day of July between twenty and forty
five years, and they are not liable to commence ser
vice before that date.
Hay Pressing.— Since September, 18G2,
three hay presses, belonging to different individuals,
have been in active operation at Hatfield Station on
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Two of these gentle
men have had pressed, and forwarded to this city,
during the past.winter, upwards of six hundred tons
of hay, for moat of which they paid sixty-five cents
per hundred weight. The price haß lately advanced
to seventy-five cents, with prospects of still greater
increase.. The other has also pressed several hun
dred tons, and is still buying. About fourteen hun
dred tons of hay have been bailed at Hatfield Sta
tion since the Ist of September last;' the most of this
has been to fill contracts awarded by a grain and feed
merchant at Broad and Yine streets. The hay is, of
course, shipped South, for the use of the Govern
ment. Very few farmers of Hatfield raise enough
grain for the consumption of their own stock, which
is generally large, so that their demands upon the
feed merchants on the railroad are extensive and fre
quent, giving those gentlemen a lively and profitable
business.

aside. The same is true of cars and all machinery when
new parts are supplied. ' - •
> City Improvements.— Workmen are at
present engaged in planting some five hundred trees
upon the grounds of Huntingdon Park, in York
road. Trees are also being planted upon the parade
Sound and the Boulevards on Broad street.
untingdon Park was formerly a race course which,
some five years since, was purchased by a number of
gentlemen and presented to the city, under condition
that a certain amount should be expended annually
in improving it. The silver maples and evergreens,
now being planted under direction"of the Commis
sioner on City Property, form a portion of the ful
fillment of this condition. On the first of next
month, should the weatherprove favorable, the sod
ding of Shackamaxon Square will be commenced.
Seats will also be introduced, an improvement
anxiously looked for by the residents in the 1 neigh
borhood.

vania Railroad Company, we learn/has concluded
the purchase of fifty acres of land near Pittsburg, on
which it Js designed,to erect a transfer d6p6t, and
also to set apart a portion of the ground'for stock
yards. >
The leases of the Elmira and Williamsport and
Buffhlo aDd New York Railroads by the Northern
Central and Pennsylvania Railroad Companies have
been signed in this city, and as the two last-named
companies are identical in interest, this consolida*
tion gives Philadelphia complete railway communi
cations with Buffalo, Rochester, and all the western
part of New York State, and the ports on Lakes
Ontario and Erie.
Shocking Condition.— I The Fourtli-and-
Eighth-street Railroad track, aiong the southern
Salt ol Fourth street, for want of proper attention,
as caused the Btreet to become almost impassable,
in. some places, for vehicles, without danger of
breaking wheels, and jeopardizing life and limb.
The supervisors of the highways have free tickets
on the road; and this compliment so blinds their
vision that they cannot see the want of repairs.
The attention of City Councils should be called to it
by the residents on the route.
A Sad End.—Yesterday morning the
coroner was notified to hold an iuqueßt upon the
body of Hugo Haaerott, aged 13 years, residing at
Apple and Georges streets. The deceased is sup
posed to have committed suicide by taking poison.

charged a week-or two ago. He then threatened to
take Mb life. The inquest was adjourned until to
day. .
Arrival of the Gunboat Wissa
hickon.—The United States gunboat Wissahickon
arrived at this port yesterday from Port-Royal,
having just discharged her powder at Fort Mifflin.
This vessel waß reported at Fortress Mon roe a few
days.since, and brings no late news. She comes to
our navy yard for repairs, having; performed useful
service on the blockade.
Survey of the CoXl-Oil District.—
Some time since a sum was raised by subscription
among the coal-oil dealers and their correspondents
lor the purpose of securing a thorough geological
survey of the district. A preliminary report of the
survey, which was entrusted to Professor Kidgewav.
has already been published. Such a survey, if pro
perly made, mußt prove very useful to those In the
trade.
. Union League, Nineteenth Ward.—
A meeting for the permanent organization of the
Nineteenth-ward Union League will be held this
evening at 'their/hall, Frankford road and York
street Officers will he elected, and other important

Lock Haven, via Harrisburg.. Their names are K.
Kenny and E. Ferguson; who will furnish The Press
to persona along the line of the road.
Progressing.— :Tlie rails of the Lombard

the North Pennsylvania Railroad, a day or two
since, on its way to the New Jersey Central, upon
which road It is to be used. : ’ r j
The Storm. —The . heavy rains of yester
day and Thursday night had the effect of much swel
ling the various small streams in the suburbs of the
city. In consequence of- the high wind, the Dela
ware was very turbulent yesterday. No danger of
a freßhet was apprehended.

—Oompjny O, First Regiment Infantry, Gray Re-Jl
serves, Captain-\YMte, celebrated their second anni- i
versary; on Wednesday last, by goiog into camp
(‘♦ wood”) near. Athensville, Montgomery county.'
The day was passed in camp duties, review, inspec
tion, drill with blank cartridges, and target practice.
The shooting, at one hundred yards, was decidedly
1 sharp.” First Lieutenant James C. Wray was the .
winner of the first medal ; Oorporal Jameß Watson* *
second medal, and private A. M. Walker the
third medal. Company Gis one of the best-drilled
military organizations at present in the city, com-'
posed almost entirely,of young men, and, as a school
*or those desirous of-perfecting themselves .in drill
and military discipline, offers advantages second to
noDe in the city..; Many of its members who joined
the company at its organization, two years-since,
prompted by duty and patriotism, are now serving
■ their country in active military service of the United
States. Thehigh and honorable positions they hold
reflect both credit and honor, not only upon the com
pany, but upon all those who assisted iirorganizing
the regiment of Gray Reserves, an organization
which is now represented in the field by the 119th
Regiment Gray Reserves, P. V„ under the command
of Col. P. O. Ellmaker. -
A Municipal Hospital.—The commis
sioners appointed for the purpose of erecting and
managing a municipal hospital have not yet agreed
upon any definite plans to be adopted in the con
struction of the building. The Board was appointed
several months ago, during which time several lots
weie examined, none of which were satisfactory,
except the city property on Hartfe lane, which was
purchased by a former Board of Health for the spe
cial purpose of a municipal hospital. The city pro
perty on Hart’s lane embraces fourteen aores of
ground, The cost of the erection and furnishing of
the hospital shall be paid out of the ten thousand

THE POL IGE.
[Before Mr. Alderman Beitler.]
Alleged False Pretence*
A lima, who permitted bis name to be docketed at the
Central Station as Wm B. Howe, was to hare had a
final hearing before Alderman Beitler yesterday after
noon on the charge of obtaining goods under false pre
tences, to the amount of $170.56, from Messrs. Blossom,
Robbins, &Co., New York. The evidence in this case,
as drawn out by the counsel engaged, is voluminous.
The gist ofthe facts'may be stated as follows:
Mr. Blossom testified that on March the 26th the de
fendant called at his store,- in New York, and made a
purchase of .cheese, &c., .to the amount of $170.56. He
stated that his place ofbusiness, in Philadelphia/ was at
No. 5 North Water street. He desired the goods to be
sent there; ■ He gave a sight draft, which he said would
be paid on presentation at his house as above located.
At or about the time of the purchase, the defendant said
that he was going to the State of Connecticut to collect
some money/ aud tnat'if witness retained possession
of tbe draft until-the following Monday, it was likely
that he (defendant) would lionor it on his return to Phi
ladelphia via New York. If he did not succeed in doing
so, then it might be forwarded to No. 5 Water street,
Philadelphia.: He di i. not stop on his return from Con
necticut. The draft was sent to No. sas stated.. It was
returned protested. . '
While arranging the business, the defendant said that
he was a heavy dealer in eggs, and if Mr. Blossom want
ed aDy, he could send him fifty barrels per dry during
theweek; Mr. B. said he would take all he could send,
as eggs were scarce, in the New York market; the ar
rangement having been made for a. liberal supply of the
article, he sold fifty barrels to arrive; but they never
did arrive.
JW. A. Jenks, a resident of Camden, testified as fol
lows: I am: the sole occupant of house No. 5 Water
street; Ido not know Wm. B. Howe; he is not a sub
tenant; don’t know any thing about him.
C. Coon, a merchant on South Water street, testified 1,1
that *the defendant called upon him, and deposited four
boxes of cheese and five tubs ofbutter; he desired a hun
dred dollars advance on said goods to pay abalance of a
debt of money borrowed to take upanote; I advanced
him the money. -
The above are the main points in this business opera
tion. At the last heating, it was stated by the friends of
the accused that he would produce evidence giving an
entirely face to the whole transaction; The
defendant was admitted to bail, and the investigation
was to have been resumed yesterday afternoon. There
was no additional evidence given.; :
The counsel for the prosecution had quite an argu
ment sub rosa. The alderman finally intimated that he
believed a very clear case of . false pretence had been
made out, and believed that he had the right to com
mit to await the proper requisition from the New York
authorities. He then committed the defendant in the
sum of. $BOO to await a further hearing. -We hoarrt'it
staged that the case was about to be settled. That Is, if
Mr. Blossom received the money- for the goods that had
been obtained from him, the prosecution would b a
withdrawn. . •■ •
A Case Confidentially Considered.
The youDg’man,known as the Count, who was arrested
on complaint of the Rev. Henry P. Hay, of Trenton,
N. J., as has already been stated, was to have had a
hearing yesterday afternoon at the Central Station. The
following are the names of the parties, who, according to
the statement of Mr Hay, were duped to a more or less
extent by ihe prisoner. Rev. E. WVAppleton, Mrs. Pro
fessor Phelps, Mrs. Sherman, and Mr. C.C. Haven. None
of these parties were present. The Rev. Mr. Hay, of Tren
ton, was non.est; therefore, no hearing took place.
[Before Mr. AldermanDougherty.3
Larceny Case.
A man named Samuel Binder was arraigned before
Alderman Dougherty, on Thursday night, on the com-,
plaint of George Gilbert, charged wiiß The
' evidence developed the foUowins 1 racts; Some timesmee,
'rtto - complainant-grave into the possession of the defend
ant a vessel in. good order. Hewas to proceed to the
Chesapeake/ get a load of oysteiv, and return to Phila
delphia. -Mr. Gilbert handed to Biuder the sum of $2O
to pay toll to.the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Com
pany. Captain B. started on his mission for bivalves,
obtained a load, and, as is alleged, proceeded to Balti
more and there sold them. The vessel was finally
brought tq Philadelphia-minus a sail, a pair of new
dredges, and oLher articles necessary to the prosecution
of the,oyster business. '-None of the proceeds of the trip
'nor .the change of toll money were handed back to Mr.
Gilbert The accused was required to enter bail in the
sum of $l,OOO to answer at court.
In regard to this case, we may say there are many in
stances of the Kind on record. As is usual j wheirthe
last, one was made known, the savans of Spruce-street
wharf held a meeting on the wharf,and gave expression
io their sentiments upon it. They came to the conclusion
1 hat the whole affair was simply a breach of trust, and
that nothing could be done. The education of the oyster
men on Spruce-street wharf in matters of law of this
kind has been sadly neglected. The case is larceny un
derlie revised penal code. A simple breach of trust is
obsolete. ' “ •
[Before Mr. Alderman Ramsdell.]
A Domestic Quarrel.
The ancient town-of Manayunk was the scene of a
domestic quarrel, a day or two since, the particulars of
which were developed before Alderman Ramsdell on
Thursday evening;. Lawrence Teaf was arrested on the
charge of committing a severe assault and. battery on his
brother William. It seems that William had been living
with his sister for some time, and st e finally came to the
conclusion that it would be to her interest to abandon
housekeeping. It is. alleged that William beat her.
This came to the. knowledge of his brother Lawrence,
who proceeded to chastise William, which, from all-ac
counts, he did in the most effectual manner. He knocked
him down, cut his head, broke a rib, and threatened to
do worse than this,;if he eyer dared ; to strike his sister.
The defendant entered bail to answer.
[Before Mr. • Alderman McMullin. ]
Larceny*
William Barger was arraigned, yesterday, on the
charge of the larceny, of ahorse. It seems that hewas
hired by a man down town to take the horse and wagon
around'on a peddling expedition. The -defendant, it is
alleged,sold the horse for twenty-five dollars, and pock
eted the proceeds., The animal was valued at one hun
dred dollars. The accused was committed to answer. .

Court of Oyer and. Terminer and. Quarter
Sessions—Judge Thompson.
RECEIVING STOLEN. GOODS.
John Winna was convicted yesterday of a charge of
receiving stolen goods. ‘ It appeared from the evidence
that ihe stolen, property he received was raw cotton
Which hadJseen taken from the railroad cars at Wash
ihgton-street wharf by a number of small- boys, who
brought it to him concealed beneath, their jackets. ; They
testified that he bought it from them at ten cents a
pound, cotton at that time being worth ninety cents per
pound.
The defence offered no testimony, but denied the truth
of the boys’ evidence, and contended that they were un-.
worthy.of belief, unless their story was coirroborated
-by other testimony. Quite an amusing scene occurred
between the counsel for the defendant and one of the
jurors during,the progress of the cross-examination of
one of theboyB. ; The r juror said that he wished the boy
•to give his testimony without being questioned. Counsel
insisted on his right to cross-examine, and, after some
further altercation, the juror wound up by telling coun
sel that he b lowed too much: . The court was then ap
pealed to, and the'matter ended. The jury were absent
but a few minutes efe they rendered a verdict of guilty.
A motion for a new trial was made.
Nothing transpired in the other courts. .

TESTIMONIALS.
PROM REV. JOHN HOTT, D. I)., I'ROPRSSOR IN UNION
Dr. Lkihtiull— 'Sir : Having been cured by you
of a discharge in an car, which has been very of
fensive of late, and as far back as I can remember
always more or less so; and having been much im
proved in hearing since under your care, I feel that
I cannot withhold this acknowledgment from any
use it may be to others, especially as I have applied
in vain to my family physician and other physicians
of reputation. Yours truly, JOHN NOTT.
I have been much troubled with catarrh of the
worst type for some twenty years. It gradually
grew worse, producing cough and hoarseness, de
stroying the sense of smell, and breaking down my
general health to suoh a degree as to compel me to
resign my pastorate and suspend public speaking.
I made diligent use of the usual remedies, such as
Bnuffß of various kinds, nitrate of Bilver, tar-water,
olive-tar, and inhalations, but without any very
salutary effects.. Last summer I heard of Dr-
Lighthill’s successful mode, of treating catarrh,
visited him, and put myself under his treatment. I
began Immediately to improve, and this improve
ment has gone on to the present time. My catarrh
has gradually melted away, my cough has disap
peared, my voice has become natural, and lam once
more able to preach the blessed Gospel. Let me
advise all troubled with catarrhal difficulties to ap
plyto Dr. Lighthill, P, R. RUSSELL.

I have pleasure in testifying to the skill and kind
attention of Hr. Lighthill, who has relieved me from
a troublesome deafness, brought on by a severe
cold. I shall be happy to answer any inquiries
made by persons seeking information at my address
as above. ROBERT CLIVE, Book-keeper.
This may certify that, having.been afflicted during
the year 1866 with severe and almost total deaf
ness, and having tried the ordinary medioal and
surgical aid, under the care of those esteemed as
eminent practitioners, I was induced at last to put
myself under the care of Dr. E. B. Lighthill. His
treatment was brief .and successful. I was com
pletely resto ed, and the cure is apparently perma
nent I have all confidence in Dr. L.’s skill and
integrity in the diseases he makes specialties.
Albany, Oct. 1,1862,
Dr. Xiighthill has succeeded in completely restoring
EO7 hearing, which was seriously impaired, although
previous to applying to him I was treated by several'
physicians without the least benefit. Any further
information I should be pleased to render on appli
cation to me at my residence, 173 Second‘street,
•Brooklyn, E. D., or at my place-of business, 740
Water street. WM. H. WATERBURY.
I hereby certify that I have suffered during many
years from trouble in hearing; one ear at last be
came entirely deaf, and the other so bad as to ren
der conversation very difficult. I applied to Dr.
Xighthill, of No. 34 St. Mark’s Place, who in a short
time, and without pain, restored to me the use of
my ears, so that I can now hear perfectly well.
J. BISCO, No. 168 East Twenty-third st.
Metropolitan Hotel, New York, April 1,1862.
Dear; Sißi i-take much pleasure in testifying to
the professional skill exhibited by you in your treat
ment of a case of severe inflammation of the throat
and ear witlfVbich I have lately been afflicted.
Upon coming under your charge I was immediately
relieved, and speedily cured of a most aggravated
complaint, which several physicians had previously
sought in vain to mitigate.
As I am somewhat of a stranger in the city, I
would state that you are at liberty to substantiate my
statements, if necessary, by reference to my rela
tives, Mr. A. V. Stout, President of the Shoe and
.Leather Bank of New' York, and to Mr. Everett

DR. E. B. Lighthill— Dear Sir : It is with the
kindest feelings toward you, and hoping to do ser
vice to some one who is afflicted, that I forward the
enclosed document to you.
To whom it may concern : lam personally acquaint
ed with the success which attended Dr. Dighthill’s
treatment in a case of discharge from the ear and
chronic inflammation of the throat, and would be
pleased to give further information on application.

and the noises removed, Those residing in New

my head, and deafness. Having applied to Dr. Xigh£
hill, I have great pleasure in Baying that he haß com
pletely relieved me, so that now I can hear, as well
as ever, and am not troubled with the noise in my
head. .
I may also mention that a young man named
Henry Laws, staying with me, was aslo afflicted in a
similar manner, and Dr. Xighthill was equally suo ‘
cessful in his case.

Dr. Lighthill— Dear Sir: I am pleased to be
able to testify to the cilicacy of your treatment in the
case of my wife, whose hearing in one car yousuo
ceeded in restoring, after treatment of various
kinds had been applied in vain. I may furthermore
' state that her hearing remains good up to the present
