J., on the night of Wednesday last, aged Bixty-boven. He was a native of New Jersey, and graduated with higli honors at Princeton College. He entered on the study of law and brought to it a mind of no ordinary ability. He soon rose to a com manding position at the Bar of New Jersey, which was pre-eminent for talent aud legal research, lie resided all his life at Prince ton, where he made his cottage home cele brated for its floricultural and horticultural collections. He was a professor for many years in the law department of the College of New Jersey, which owed its existence to his energy and talent. Judge Fields was very prominent in the cases involving large intereets connected with the vested franchises of the railroads and other treat corporations of New Jersey. He was of a modest, retiring disposition, and shrank from unnecessary contact with the active world of political life, and sought the cloistered privacy of his library and the cenial society of men of science and letters, whom the College and Theological Seminary drew to Princeton. Us was active in the councils of the Protestant Episcopal Church, both in the Diocesan and General Conven tions, lie had tnree daughters, but no sons. Two of his daughters survive him, we believe. He was appointed by President Lincoln to succeed non. Philemon Dickerson (who died December 10, 18C1) as Judge of the United States District Court of New Jersey, and he remained so, winning high encomiums for the learning and knowledge of the law displayed in his decisions during the exciting decade which has just terminated. A few weeks ego, while hearing an import ant cause at Trenton, in open court, he fell tenseless, after uttering some incoherent re marks, and since that time he has lingered in great pain, with both mental and physical suffering. His successor was appointed im mediately on his resignation, lion. John T. Nixon. Judge Fields was not a man seeking per unnnl nomilaritv by lavish tirofusion of acta to endear him with the public, but the wealth of his intellectual attainments gave him de servedly high prominence in all positions open to his profession in the great State of New Jersey. He was a warm friend, an afi'eo- tionate parent, a judicious counsellor and an -upright judge; and his memory will long be fondly cherished by his fellow-Jerseymen as one of the bright constellations that his State has contributed to our national judiciary. Hamuel Hazard. Samuel Hazard, whose death at German town on May Ti has been announoed, was born in Philadelphia in 1784, and during his entire life has been engaged in publishing periodical works devoted to the early history of Pennsylvania, and in compiling the records of the Province. He apparently derived his table for Libloricil researches from LU father, (, f.r JIttzurd, who waa United States Ton! must er-Geurml from 1782 to 1789, and from 17!:i to 171)4 published "Historical Col lections," consisting of State papers and other historical documents, intended as materials for a history of the United States. In 1828 Samuel Hazard commenced the publication of the "Pennsylvania Regis ter, which was issued until 1Mi5, forming sixteen volumes large oetavo. He next pub lished the "United States Commercial and Statistical Register," forming six large octavo volumes, issued from 18.'J!t to 1842. The "Annals of Pennsylvania," from 1000 to H82, an octavo volume of 800 pagea, wis next issued by Mr. Hazard. He alao, by appointment of the Legislature, printed the "Pennsylvania Archives," from 1082 to 1700, from the original records, forming t waive yolumes. Mr. Hazard was indefatigable in his labors, and was respected and esteemed by all who knew him. . Rev. I.nnc Collins. The Rev. Isaao Collins, one of the oldest members of the Baltimore Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a defender of that city in 1814, died n Wed nesday afternoon, in the eighty-first year of his age, at Baltimore. Mr. Collins was a preacher of nearly sixty years' standing, and was widely known among the Methodists of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland. He became a convert in 1810, and served both as chaplain and soldier under General Harrison, on the lakes, in 1812. He subsequently par ticipated in the battles of Lladensbnrg and North Point, and was near the British General Ross when hd fell in the battle of North Point, in 1814. His service in the Church extended over a wide extent of country in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and during the long period of his itinerant ministry he was instrumental in converting thousands of per sons, among them great numbers of colored people in that city. THE ASSEMBLY. Yreterdny Afternoon's Session. The afternoon session was devoted, accord ing to prior agreement, to the celebration of the Holy Communion. The galleries were crowded and the services were impressive. Rev. Dr. George W. Musgrave presided and the elements wore dispensed by the clergy men and elders already named. The services were concluded with benediction by Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby, of New York. The Evening; Reunion Continuation of the Re rrilton ol the foreign Delegates. Rev. Dr. John Edniond, of the United Tresbyterian Church of Great Britain and Ireland, was the first of thejdeleates intro duced, ne thought this must be a most re markable body to have received the congratu lations of three great different foreign bodies. The fact that this great body represented a cluster of stars, undiminished by the erasures of war, added an especial significance to the solemnity of this occasion. He compared the organization of his own Church with that of the Presbyterian Church here, and concluded with an expression of opinion that the great Christian duty of the people of this country was to cultivate friendly relations with the people of Great Britain. The flag of univer sal peace should be flung on high, arid the Scriptural doctrines enunciated by lliui who hm elevated it on nigu should be the mot toes of every Christian. Dr. McLeod, of the same unurch, loiloweci in eulogy of the American Church and coun try, and felicitation as to the que&tion of re union, considering all branches of the Anglo- Saxon race as one, and hence rejoiced over every union of the people speaking that tongue. The Moderator (Dr. J. M. liaoKus) re sponded in a brief expression cf appreciation of the cordial feeling expressed by the dole gates who had spoken. - -t -r 1 - i , Si 1 -r 1 ltev.
