Mcllvalne, William Rey nolds, and John M. Wilsen, Ruling Elders in tie Presbyterian Chnrch in the United States, humbly ahoweth, that whereas being now the nineteenth century of our Lord, "It is high time for the Church to awake out Of sleep," aud to exert its dormant energes for the conversion of the world lying in wickedness, and In order to supply the "lack of ser vice" by the regular churches, mission stations are being erected for teaching and preaching the Gospel in destitute localities and to the poor who are averse to enter our more expensive and fashionable churches. And whereas, at some of the stations, it is not always convenient or possible to have minis ters present to admit the converts to the sealing ordinances of the Church, therefore The object of this memorial is to lay the matter before you, and ask your counsel and advice as to whether In absence of a college-bred minister, an ordained elder (known in our ecclesiastical nomen clature as a "Ruling Elder," and in Bible language as "Bishop," "Elder," or "Presbyter")may admit new converts in such placs and circumstances into the visible Church by baptizing them and presiding at the family feast (the Lord s Supper). Do you know any Scripture that renders It unlaw ful for the "Haling Elder" (as be is called In our Church parlance) ministering to the wants and edifi cation of the Chnrch when called out or Can any man forbid water that these should be baptized? Actsx, T. Answer Reference to onr standards which we accept as interpolations of Scripture. See chap. T, see 1, chap. 8 throughout. l.

That It be considered In its parts separately: 1. The arrangements of synods, 2. Of presbyteries. 8. Of representation In the General Assembly. 4. The limitation of appeals. 6. The constitutional changes. 6. Suggestions on overtures. 8. Iu the arrangement of synods each shall be taken up separately, and when no amendment Is proposed, that item shall be considered passed or adopted. When amendments are proposed, remarks snail oe connnea to nve minutes, aua u no amend ment is adopted the Item shall be passed or adopted. At the close of the part on synods a vote shall be taken on its whole and final adoption. Consideration of the ttenonstractloo Report. The special order of the day was the considera tion of the report of the Reconstruction Commit Lee The qnestion of the boundaries of synods was taktn np item by item. This subject is treated in the first part of the report. The Lena: Island Synod. An amendment to the first item, eonoernlng the fStnod of Lonir Island, was ottered by Dr. Samuel Speer. of Brooklyn, that this item be stricken out and that the churches comprising that proposed synod be joined with those composing the Synod of New York. Dr. Speer spoke upon the subject, say ing that the churches of Brooklyn, and especially bis own church, did not want to ue aisconnecte with the churches of New York. The Discussion. Rev. J. A. Hopkins, of Long Island, took the oppo site ground, saying that LoDg Island now contained sixty-nve churches ana tue third city in tne union. The island was considered of sufficient Importance in the Episcopal Church to constitute It a separate diocese. Rev. Dr. Fowler said It seemed to him'the Assem bly was hardly prepared to pass ou the question of oounoariea. no synod snail overlap two suites. They must be within one State. I move, therefore. that so much of the report of the Committee on Re construction as relates to tne boundaries of the svnods be docketed, with a view of allowintr an opportunity to the commisaloners from the different States to noia conventions to consider tue oouudg of synods. Considerable discussion ensued In regard to this TOtllt. Dr. Fowles's resolution was considered out of order. Dr. Musgrave said that he thought the motion was out of order unless the former motion com manding the report to betaken up and considered be recousldered. No motion being offered, the ori ginal question on the motion to strike out cauie up. It was moved that the questiou of this Synod of Long Island aud the Synod of New York be post poned until the other matters in the report should be considered. Withdrawn. Rev. C. W. Adams, of Connecticut, said the ques tion is the extension of the Church. lie understood Long Island well. He thought the exteusion was going on rapidly there. He thought a separate synod should be formed. They need money and the spirit of enterprise, which the gentlemen from Brooklyn have. Tue influence of the Synod of New York is comparatively nothiug upon them. A Memorial. The following overture from the Presbytery of Long Island, addressed to the General Assembly, wh rend : Whrttt It Is, la the judgment of Ue Presbytery of Ixing Island, highly important forth general In terests of evangelical religion, and especially for the Presbyterian Chnrch on Long Island, that the next (Jenrral Assembly should form a synod of Long Island. Therefore, and RfMlved, That this ITesbytery overture the Gene ral Assembly to erect such a synod, order that the Stated Clerk forward the foregoing preamble and resolution to the General Assembly as the expres sion of tne sentiments of the Presbytery unani mously adopted on the subject. The foregoing is an extract from the proceedings of the Presbytery of Long Island, In session at Cul cbange on the 19th of April, 1870. E. Wuitakir, Stated Clerk. The IiOnsr Iftlaad Hvnod Formed. Dr. Speer's motion was then put to the vote and lost, and the original suggestion of the committee that the new synod be formed was carried. Governor Pollock moved that all the items in the report pertaining to this matter be adopted together. Decided out of order. A motion of reconsideration was made that Gov ernor Pollock's motion might be in order. Laid on the table. The Committee on Correspondence here reported that several delegates from bodies of other denomi nations were present, and recommended that their names be entered on the roll and that they be re ceived on next Wednesday evening, the time set apart for that purpose. The report was accepted. The Mynod of Now York. The second item on the Synod of New York was then considered. Rev. Mr. Dunn, of Beston, snoTce against this item because it Included the New England churches. If a separate synod was formed he thought he could promise four or five new churches around Boston alone within a year. A motion was made that the item be amended so as not to Include the New England States. Lost. The second item was then adopted as read. The tSyned of Albany. ThA thlrrt 1tf.ni if tho Ktrnwl rt ilhnn nrhUh It la proposed shall Include north of the New York Svnod and east of the western line of the counties of Dela ware, Schoharie, Montgomery, Fulton. Hamilton, and Franklin, with New England north and east of uonnecucui. Mr. Richards, of Delaware, said he had no motion to make. The western boundary of the Synod of Albany passes through the county or Susquehanna. We wlBh to go together. We are divided now. We wish some measure proposed by which we can talk tne matter over. It was moved and seconded that the third item then be postponed. Lost. A motion was then made that it be referred to a committee for action. Withdrawn Mr. Richards, of Delaware.ofl'erert an amendment, so that the western boundary of the Synod of Al bany shall be the western boundary of the county of Greene instead of Delaware. Rev. Dr. Wlsner desired that this matter should be postponed, so that it conld come up before the members on the ground. Ihe Adionrnment. Pending the question a motion was made by Rev. D. R. Love to adjourn until x P.M. In order to give ine commissioners oi tne ainerent states time to con suit together and agree on the course to be pursued in their own parucuiancases, ana thus greatly expe dlte the business of the Assembly.

Among the printed documents submitted to the Assembly on Saturday was the sixty-eighth annual report of the Board of Domestic Missions of the late "Old School" branch, of which Rev. George W. Musgrave, D. D., or this city, Is Corresponding Sec retary. The report shows the operations or the board during tne year ending march l, 1870. AVe present tne lonowing aostract oi it: The whole number or missionaries in commission daring the year was 613, which is 07 more than the year p7?ceuiog. i ney rvetu luvtucu m me tuuowing States and, einwri?:u 1 in Arizona. 11 in Nebraska, 18 In New Jersey, 2 in New Mexico, 11 in California, 8 in Colorado, 8 in Delaware. 27 in New York, 11 in North Carolina, 49 in Ohio, 2 In Florida, 91 in Illinois, 88 in Indiana, 4 in Oregon, 71 in Pennsylvania, 81 in lowa, 23 in Kansas. 11 in Kentucky, b in rsoutn Carolina, 7 in Tennessee, 8 in Texas, 8 in Virginia, 1 in Washington. 3 in Louisiana, 9 In Maryland, 8 in Massachusetts, 4 in Michigan, 11 in West Virginia, 27 In Minnesota, so in Wisconsin, 1 In Wyoming, 1 unsettled. 1 in Mississippi, BO in Missouri. The number or cnurcnes and missionary stations wholly or in part supplied, as far as reported, by the missionaries, is 705. The number or newly organ ized churches is 62. The number or admissions on examinations on examination is 8107, and on cer t id eate, 2229 ; making a total admission or 6330. The number in communion with churches connected with the Board is 28,839. The number or Sabbath Schools is 610; or teaeners 4543; and or scholars 84,810. The number or baptisms Is 2943. Of the 613 missionaries wno nave Deen in commission auring the year, 139 have sent in no special report ror the Assembly, more than one-tirth or the whole number; consequently we must increase ail the returns one fifth to make them correct. - The receipts during the present year were less by nearly f30,000. as compared with the year imme diately preceding ; but they were more by nearly 115,000, as compared with those of 1807-8, and more by 130,000 than those or 1808-7. The railing off the present year as compared with the year immediately preceding was doubtless owing to the extraordinary effort that was made in 1SG8-9 to extricate the board from its then financial embarrassment. The payments during the year were 123.404-88; leaving a balance in the treasury on March 1, 1870, The appropriations made to the missionaries from March 1, 1SC9, to March 1, 1870, were f 143,820, which is fso,07i more man ine year preceding. The total amount or receipts from all sources, from March 1, 1869, to March 1, 1870, was 1127,727-76. To which add balance on hand March 1, 1869, 100,716-71; making the available resources of the Board during the year, f 188,444 -47. In another olace the report says: "As the work of consolidation and reconstruction Is soon to be effected, it may be proper to state ror the information or the General Assembly what is the present pecuniary capital in the possession or this board. The cash balance in hand is, in round numbers, fuc.ooo. The Mission House, ownea ana occupied by the board, is valued at t'45,000. Perma nent f n nH. tho nt. Fi.at .Inn. f ur i ( .

The missions or the Church were carried on rrora nii6 tonic by the original PreBbvteryor Philadel. phla:rroml717 to 1741 bv theS?nod or Philadel phia; rrom 1742 to 1758 by the Synods of Philadelphia ana pew iuih; irora nos to 1789 oy the tsynod or New York and Philadelphia; and from 1789 to 1802 by the General Assembly. In 1802, the business of conducting tne missions increasing too largely upon the Assembly, that body appointed "The Blinding Committee of Missions," and nftv-one years ago, in May. 1808,and in this city, "The Standing Committee of Mltslens" made its Flret Anuual Report to the General Assembly. In 1816 the Btyleof this com mittee W88 changed for that of "The Board of Mis sions, acting unaer me auinonty of the General Asteinbly of the Presbyttrian Church in the United Suites," and its members aud iu powers enlarged : and both membership and powers were still further enlarged in 1827.

Pome days ago one James Smith, residing on Wyalusinjr avenue, near Fifty-fourth street, Went Philadelphia, was presented by his wife with a fine boy. OI course, James was happy, and, nx'iDfr upon a nnme, set down yesterday afternoon as the time for the christening of the new son and heir. The child was taken to chnrch and named, and the parties returned to the house of Smith, where the affair was duly celebrated by eating, drinking, and merriment. Among the friends assembled were Thomas Golder, Hugh Golder, Pat Golder, Peter McCue, Redmond McManus, and James McCaulley. All of there parties like the "craythur," and there being "lashings" of it to be had, they indulged rather freely, so freely, in fact, that by the hour of 9 o'clock their animal got the better of their moral nature, and a genuine Irish row followed, the result of which has been the death of one of the par ticipants and the probable death of another. The (iolders and McCue all live in ono house, on Westminster avenue, near Fifty-fourth street. Thomas is the father of six children; Hugh and Peter are unmarried. Thomas, for economy, fays he keeps a cow, and pastures her upon a lot in the neighborhood, which he rents for that purpose. McCaulley also keeps a cow. Two years ago Thomas rented the lot, of which he is now lefgee, and held it for the reason, much to the disgust of McCaulley. Last season, he being absent, McCaulley secured the nee of it, but this season 1 nomas applied for it in advance of McCaulley, and secured it. It was ever this lot that the row originated. All hands becoming thoroughly intoxicated, trne to their Irish nature, they began quarrelling, aud soon a miniature Donnybrook Fair was enacted. Thomas, who states that he had twelve or four teen whiskies, can scarcely remember any more of the occurrence than having received a "whack from a ehillalah," In the hands of McCaulley, over the head.. The rest know nothing further ' about the fight than having participated therein. The battle was kept up for the space of about half an hour, at the end of which time McCaulley and McManus were carried into their residences near by in a dying condition. After the brawl had ended the remainder of tke party returned to the house of Smith, and renewing their carousal, kept it up until midnight, lhey then retarned to their homes. A physician having been summoned to attend to the cases of McCaulley and McManus, he announced that the vatient could not possibly recover, where upon a warrant was issued for the arrest of Thomas and Hugh Golden and Peter McCue, and they were taken from their beds at 1 o'clock A. M., and locked up in the Sixteenth district station-house. McCaulley lingered in great agony until 11 o'clock this morning, when death ended his suf ferings. Besides being badly beaten about the head, he had sustained internal injuries ot a fatal nature. McManus is lying very low, and the chances are that before night he will furnish a subject for the Coroner. The parties are ail hod carriers, and come from the counties of Cavan and Fermagh. The prisoners look upon the brawl as a natural ap pendix of "a christening," but deny any intent of attempting to kill their victims. McCaulley leaves a wne, out no cnunren. The whole affair is another example of the evil caused by the demon mm. Prize Fighters Arrestid. On Saturday eveninpr Lieutenant mun, oi tno JMtmteentn district, noticed a crowd of men. proceeding down Allegheny avenue towards tne ueiaware.

While engaged in this operation a policeman came along and ceptured one of the party, who gave the name of David Clancy. The prisoner was sent below for trial. The same offense was preferred against Isaac Lewis, who attempted to commit a highway robbery on a gentleman at Second and Race streets, last evening. lie was ai.o commuted. Coroner's Inquest.
