The rresbyterian General Assembly met yesterday afternoon at o'clock, according to the programme, and was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Fowler. The roll of dele gates was then called by ltev. J. G. Butler, 1). D. The Committee of Elections, ap pointed at the morning session, reported that the only defects in the credentials presented were those of form, and all the delegates present were entitled to seats. The Assem bly ratified the report of the committee. The election of a Moderator being de clared in order, Rev. Wm, Adams, D. D., nominated for that position Rev. J. Trumbull Backus, D. D., of the Presbytery of Schenec tady, Synod of Albany. He said that the only thing necessary to complete the harmony with which tlfe reunited Assembly had met this morning was entire unanimity in the se lection of a Moderator, and such a selection would be the key-note of harmonious action throughout the session. The Assembly by unanimity elected Dr. Backus, who took the chair amidst great applause. The Moderator briefly returned his thanks, and, while feeling deeply the compliment of bis selection, expressed the deep reluctance which he and every man must feel in accept ing a position of such responsibility at such . a time. He trusted the session of the As sembly would continue to be marked by the same harmonious spirit that has thus far ani mated it. Rev. Dr G. W. Musgrave moved that Rev. E. F. Hatfield, D. D., of New York, be chosen Stated Clerk of the Assembly, which was una nimously agreed to, and Dr. Hatfield returned bis acknowledgments therefor. ' Rev. Cyrus Dickson, D.

Lamberton of Harrisburg, offered a resolution to the effect that all that fart of the Diocese of Pennsylvania which ies outside of the counties of Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Backs, be a new diocese. Mr. Bohlen moved as an amendment that there be added to the above-named counties those of Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, and . Lancaster. An additional amendment was offered re quiring that a majority of the clergy and ves- - i v. : v l , .1 - tries wiium iu uuuum oi m proposed diocese consent thereto. The last amendment was adopted, and thereupon a discussion arose upon the second amendment. Judge Parry, of Schuylkill, opposed a di vision of the diocese, for the reason that he thought it would be impolitic at the present time. Mr. Lamberton, in advocating a division upon the five county line, said that beyond the counties named 39 parishes out of 75 had, through the clergy and vestries, expressed themselves favorable to the division proposed. The Rev. Dr. Paret read a paper, by which it appeared that out of fit clergymen sta tioned within the counties proposed to be set off, 34 had approved the measure. A protracted discussion took place upon the second amendment, some of the speakers Itunrg tie tic, (orty, vtfcsra t-o five county line. The advocates of the Ave county line generally belonged to the parishes em braced within the proposed diocese. The amendment was not agreed to.

As the season is rapidly approaching when large numbers of individuals seek some point where they may spend a few weeks either for recreation or the restoration of health, a word on this subject may not be altogether out of f!&ce. Every fbvsiciw UiiO'JSUout Ui9 city and State is frequently called npon to advise in relation to this matter, and his opinion (as it should) generally determines the selec tion. The time consumed and the fatigue of travel in reaching the seaside have long operated in preventing very many from grati fying their wishes in this direction. To those whose time. .and means are ample, the place, so as it possesses the necessary ar rangements for comfort, is not very impor tant, yet with the greatest number the accessi bility of a locality will exercise no small determining influence. The construction of a railroad from Philadelphia to Atlantic City bas brought the ocean within u ride of two hours, with five communications daily. This place possesses everything to attract visitors, either in search of pleasure or health; snch as the most ample accommodations in the way of public houses under well-directed management, cottages for these desiring more complete privacy, churches of different de nominations, a safe and excellent shore for bathing, an uir remarkable for its dryness, pleasure yachts for sailing, and to such as regard the manly sports of fishing and hunt ing, the waters and the meadows are alive with fish, snipe, and a great variety of game. For the invalid with scrofulous or rheu matic tendencies, or the Bhaking aguist, with all the train of liver and spleen disturbances, the iodine in the air, the iodine and chloride of sodium in the water, promise a quick and peibaps permanent improvement. It is beyond cavil the place for those seeking relief from diseases proceeding from functional hepatic derangement. OBITUARY. . Dnvlri Orlavlnn Illll, R. N !A. This distinguished Scottish artist died yes- leraay in London, lie was born in 1802, at Perth, Scotland, and had reached the good old age of sixty-nine. He displayed at an early sge a taste for art, which was judiciously fostered by his father, who sent him to Edin burgh to complete his studies. In 1823, when aged but twenty-one, he first exhibited at Edinburgh three pictures which gave un mistakable proofs of the artistic skill he was to display in the future. Mr. Hill's works consist of a series of sixty paintings, illustra tive of the scenery of his native country. He also painted many English and Irish pictures, which have received high praise. The greatest of his works was a large painting commemorative of the disruption of the Scottish Church in the year 1843. This remarkable composition, which represents the signing of the deed of demission and act of separation, contains over four hundred portraits. In 1830 Mr. Hill was appointed Secretary of the Roval Scottish Academw nf Painting. He was also the first to suggest the formation of the Royal Scottish Associa tion for the promotion of Fine Arts. He also contributed much to the ruccarh of nhntn. graphy, and under his artistie directions it was greauy oenentea. -in ioU ne was ap pointed one of the Commissioners of the Hoard of Manufactures in Scotland, a. hnrlv which has under its direction the Government School of Art and the National Gallery of Scotland. Up to within a few years ago he has diligently worked at his easel, and did tint quit it until compelled by old age. MARINE TELEGRAPH. For additional Marine News tee First Page.
