The IHfrllnft ot the Preubvtery of Philadelphia (rminl Tkta Morning Ueaeinl Huitloeiis Trnnnnctcti. The Presbytery of PhUp-jelphia Central met tit in morimig at 10 oclock for the regular slated incttlnp, In tbc First Presbyterian Chnreh of Kcminc'.on, on (iirar-1 avenue, near Hanover street, Kev. Dr. Muagravc in the chair. After the opening devotional exercises, the roll was called, and a quorum beinir present, an election was entered Into for Moderator, llov. Mi. Taylor was unanimously elceted, he being tbe next in thejorder of ordination. Tbe minutes of tbe previous meeting were read and apiroved, after several unimportant alterations bad been made. A communication from the Moerator of the rreslrjtery ol Halifax, N. S., relative to Rov. Mr. (iorfion of that prt-Rhytery, who hart received a call from the Richmond Presbyterian I'hurchof this city, The call was respectfully declined on behalf of Mr. Oordon. Uev. Dr. MoKgravc asd Rev. Mr. Wirt were ap pointed a committee to prepare a special minute on the subject of the death of Rev. Mr. Uniatead. A repcrt was received from the Committee on the First German Church, and the coramit'ee con tinued. The Committee on the Trinity Church ma le a lengthy report. The Indebtedness or the church wan shown to be tsrwi. The report states that the present Board of Trus tees of Trinity Church have dene all in their power to reduce the indebtedness. The church la a very benevolent one in proportion to its means. It stood II f tu oa the list of contributors reported to the General Assembly, and tht re Is not a commu nicant who has an Income of more than sixty dol lars a month. The report recommends that the church is very deserving In every partiealar, and that the presbytery should recommend the church to the other churches of Philadelphia for the material aid of 110,1(00. The church Is situated In a destitute neighborhood where it is much needed. If it had the debt removed It could be very useful. If aid Is not given, the church will certainly be sold by the Sheriff to meet the demands of a judgment note which is part of the indebtedness. It was objected that the mortgage and gro md rent should not have been Included in the debt statement, as they could remain, and the money be raised by the church itself in the future. If the im mediate wants were met, that is all that is needed at present. The report was received and was discussed at some length. The pastor of the church made a statement, no raid t hat the condition of the church in the past Is not the present condition. In the past there was much wealth in the regloD, but now the region is becoming manufacturing, and a class of people are raking possession of it who earn their live'lnood mostly in the factories, if the gronnd-rent and mortgago remain, they cannot be removed as easily in the future as they could have been In the past. The people are poor nut substantial. Plenty of people can be gathered in. Many more would come if the debt was not hanging over the church. If it had a chance to grow, it would grow immensely. There Is not a church of any sort within a mile, and the population of the neighborhood is growing rapidly. The people pronise to carry on the church if they are helped. To do this they will have to wot k just as hrd as It Is possible for them to wors without having any Interest money to pay besides. If it can be done, raise the whole debt, or if it cannot be done, make the trial at least. An amendment was offered to the report, recom mending the church to the Presbvterian AUiuuoe lor material aid to the amount of gsooo. The matter was finally referred to the Alliance without specifying the amount. THE TIKE COMMISSION.

Forty-beven Luudred homeless human beings have been trrsinted lodglugs in tha Third District Station llouiie durimr the month of December, an ave rage ef over 150 per nitrht.

Ji. franciscus, William jr. mun, Thomas A. Barlow, Samuel Kllpatrlck, Samuel Leonard, Bamucl 0. Willits, John Fry, William A. Duff, Hon John Kobblns, Jr., and William M. Wilson met, In Common Council Chamber for the purpose of organization, as provided for in the ordinance of Counci)p creating the board. Thomas A. Barlow, Psq., wi chosen President, and Mr. William A. luff was ap pointed Secretary. Tho ordinance creating the board, and the act of Assembly relative to the subject, were read by the Secretary, after which the certificates of elocMon of the members were received and read. On motion of Mr. Willits Mr. A. II. Franclsons was unanimously elected President of the Board for one year from date. Upon taking the chair Mr. Franclsens made a brief address, in which he spoRo of the necessity of a House of Correction in Mils feity, and the Importance-of the duties devolving upou the members of the board. Tho house- wa9 now in course of erection, aud before this year rolls around a portion of It will bo ready for oocupuncy. Its suc cess, said Mr. Franoiaeus, depends upon th action oftMstody. On motk.il of Mr. Barlow. Mr. Wm. A. Puffy was elected Secretary for the present. ZUr. Franclscus thought tha'. the board should have additional legislation. In Pittsburg the House of Correction was supported by a tax levied upon tavern-keepers. Jle whs in favor of a tax of this character in Philadelphia, and tne Legislature should be asked to authorize the levying of such a ivir. Smith said that the act of Assembly was de Ocltnt in many respects, and additional legislation was needed. The question of compulsory educa tion was now agitating the Board of Public Educa tion, and It. was an es ablished fact tint there are some twenty thousand children In this c.ty who do n"t attend school. A majority of them are children of habitual drunkards, and he thought some pro vision enould be made for them In the House of Re foi mation. JUr. Smith made a number of good sug gestions which he Bald ought to be Incorporated in the bill. Some of the vagrants in the city Rhould be taken up and n ude to work on the new House of Correction, and thus save expense to the city. 1 he subject of preparing rules and making appli cation to Hie Legislature for additional law was reft rred to the Committee of the Whole, to be con sidered at a future inceiing. Mr. Willits moved for the appointment or a com mittee of three to take charge of Biich property as is not at present used by the contractor. Agreed to. The chair appointed Messrs. Willits, Barlow, and Fry the committee. Mr. Krauciscus suggested that some legislation should be asked for with a view to tbe removal of the Almshouse and County Prison to the locality in which the House of Correction is now being roared. Mr. Smith thought that the Eastern Penitentiary Rhould also be removed outside of the city limits. This will be economy in tho end, for by the re moval of tnis institution improvements will com mence ia that section of the city, and the city will reap a benefit. It the plot of ground on which the Penitentiary is built was covered by dwellings, the city would realize at least.f 100,000 from taxes. 'i'he drawings for terms of oillco was then pro ceeded with, and resulted as follows: For one year, Samuel Leonard and William M. Wilson. For two years, William F. Smith and William A. Duily. For three years, Samuel Kilpatrick and lion. John Rohb'ns, .lr. For four years, A. II. Franclscus aud Samuel C. Willits. For Ave years, Thomas A. Barlow and John Fry. on motion, the board adjourned to meet on Satur day next to Isit the grounds. UNDER THE ILUI3IER. Proncitlra Hold by the (slier I II Yesterday.

The managers say: We have reason for congratu lation in the gcneial condition of the hospital, as well as in some cf the arrangements which have been r cently effected ; and among the sources of encouragement there is especial reason for gratifi cation in the timely and handsome contributions. During the year the wards of tho hospital have been constantly full, and the demands from all parts of a now populous neighborhood and those more distant portions or onr city is continually extending, yet there is no promise of the early erection of the wing and corridor to complete the hospital, and thus double Its capacity. louring the past year 9r2 patients were admitted to the Institution, of which number 718 were men, 234 women, and 11 were nnder eighteen years of age.

' The current expenses of the Hospital for the year ust passed were 837,990-94. The funds received from patients amounted to fMKS'GO. The permanent endowment fund has been In creased by f26,00 during the year, and tho fund may now be rated at S2i;o,ooo.
