Dr. Newton read a hymn, which was sane by all present. Rev. Dr. llolliday then followed In prayer, and at 11 o'clock the congress pro ceeded to business. William O. Buotneil, Esq., the chairman, in a few remarks, Introduced Kev. Mr. Fentecost, of Brook lyn, who delivered an address on "Catholic Unity." The reverend gentleman began with the remark that he never expected to be a member of Congress, bnt he felt proud to be connected with such a congress as this. (Applause), lie felt the deepest Interest In the Catholio unity feature of these great questions. There has, perhaps from the earliest ages, been floating In the mind of the Christian Church an idea of Christian unity not a risible bnt an Invisible union. And In response to this desire there has grown up gradually principles which tend to put In practice these sentiments. Practical unity is expressed tu the fraternal recog nltlon which obtains so generally among Christians to day, but there is something more beyond this mere Christian fellowship. A more spiritual unity Is necessary, and the churches now seem approach ing this condition. The simple idea of a nnlty which preserves Itself under a variety of conditions and circumstances Is the leading doctrine of this new association. , , , The speaker enforced this idea at great length and quoted freely from the Scriptures. The gentle man insisted that the New Testament doctrine was simply this: a recognition of diversity in the midst of unity, and this doctrine holds good in law, in gov ernment, and, in fact, in everything as well as reli gion. The speaker then referred to the necessity of a creed as a basis for the unification or the Church. A very simple creed Indeed, but which has for its foundation the simple recognition, a public recog nition, of one Christian brother by another. lie further spoke of the great necessity of a united Christian conscience, and commenced onthe power which the Church might exert were it properly nnlted. We said that the shameful practices of our 8tae Legislatures In the matter of divorce would never be tolerated were this the case. The address of Rev. Mr. Pentecost was exceed ingly well received. It was eloquent, and was at times heartily applauded. Mr. Bucknell followed in a brief address, and ex pressed his hearty concurrence in the sentiments of Mr. Pentecost and the admirable manner In which that gentleman had uttered his views. A resolution was then passed thanking Eev. Mr. Pentecost for his address and also containing an ex pression of the congress in the views thus uttered. Dr. Cather announced that a public meeting will be held this evening, in the Church of the Epiphany, at which addresses will be made fully explaining the principles of the association. A resolution was adopted providing that the an nual subscription shall be 25 for clergymen, $w) for laymen, and $5 per year for associated members, and f 10 for associated lady members. Lr. llolliday presented a resolution dividing the country into five districts, eah to hare a member ship of loo. This was withdrawn. Dr. Parker moved that a committee of three be appointed to name the boundaries of the district. The following gentlemen were appointed : Dr. llol liday, Dr. Pentecost, and Prof. Sturges. Rev. Dr. Newton, chairman of the Committee on Permanent Organization, presented tne report, con taining the following names as officers of the congress: Chairman President Woolsey, or Tale.

' The convention to nominate a Coroner re assembled this morning, at ten o'clock, in Ath lon Hall. Thirteenth and Jefferson streets. The first business was, of course, the proceeding with the fourth ballot. The vote on the third and last of yesterday was as follows: Brown, 111; Bees, 92; Seixaa, 46; Sackett, 19; Uhler, 28; Parker, 25. On the next and fourth ballot Sackett was dropped. Before the balloting was reached considerable time was devoted to a reorganization. It was agreed to have three men appointed to stand In the aisles and keep the delegates in their seats. It was also decided to have the room of the hall open and the street door closed instead. A col lection was then taken up to pay the doorkeep ers with. At 11 o'clock the convention proceeded to the fourth ballot. The roll was first called. The following was the result: Brown, 126; Sees, 79; Seixaa, 51; Uhler, 21; Parker, 24. When the ballot was about half over a man Tan into the hall, crying "They have broken the door in!" An immediate rush was made for the hall door, and the invading party was met upon the threshold. Then ensued a fierce struggle for Its possession, but the delegates in side, gathering a hint from the Commune, bar ricaded it with benches, and succeeded in driving the party off. Parker was dropped. The result of the fifth ballot was as follows: Brown, 139: Sees, 88; Seixas, 51, and Uhler, IS. Uhler was dropped. During the progression of the sixth ballot a Seixas delegate read a letter from the stage, that be had pulled up on a string from the street outside. It said: "I have been beat by money, boys; go in for Sees, a poor man." To say that the Sees men were jubilant then would be draw ing it mild. Things were calmed again, and the balloting went on until the First division of the First ward was reached. This was the last ward to vote. A man rose in his seat and said his name bad not been called. This started another scene of tumult, and in the midst of it the door was forced, and the room flooded with shouting spurious delegates. Mr. Seixas, who, from mis information, believed himself out of the contest, got on the stage to speak to his men, but he could not be heard. Forty were now on the platform, and one drunken delegate was dancing upon the table just where the august President was about to rap for order. All over the room was confu sion. The Secretary, Mr. Morrell, was seized upon the stairs, and some records be bad taken from him. In the street the same turbulent scene was enacting, and thus the curtain fell on the Coroner's Convention. No accurate count can be given of how the candidates stood when the row betran. We give two estimates Brown, 156; Sees, 139; Seixas, 14; and Brown, 150; Sees, 124; Seixas, 9. The First ward was yet to be heard from. Heroic Last Tuesday, while an excursion from this cltv was landing at Florence Heights. a young child, about four years ot age, either accidentally fell or was pushed off the plank, and bad it not been lor tne timely assistance ren dered by Captain Crawford, of the steamer Twi light, the child would most undoubtedly have been drowned.

The Dedicatory Services of the MethedUt Heme fer the Age Inflrat of the Church The Reports and Addressee. This morning at 11 o'clock the fourth anni versary and the dedicatory service of the new building ef the Home for the Aged aad Infirm of the Methodist Episcopal Church were held in the Home building, on Lehigh avenue and Thir teenth street. The large and handsome build ing has just been completed. A full descrip tion of it has already appeared in our columns. Mr. Thomas T. Tasker., Sr., the President of the Board of Trustees, presided at the dedi cation. The exercises commenced with the singing of the hymn, "Great King of Glory Come.'p A praver was then offered by Rev. W. 8. Grey. Mr. Tasker, the President of the Board of Trustees, and also ot the Building Committee, made the introductory address as follows: Jn the providence; of God we are permitted to meet together in this building on this day, which Is Just one year, less one oar, since the corner-stone was laid. The object that has brought us together is that we, as trustees, may formally commit the care of the building to yon, the members of the Ladles' Aid Society, the Board or Managers, and the contributors. Our duty as trustees was to see that the plans for construction were faithfully, substantially, and economically carried out, and hence when our dntr ends yours will commence. An Institution of tins kind had long been hopefully cherished in the thoughts and desires of very many or our sister and brothers for more than one generation; but the work itself and its high honors and benefits were delayed np to this time, and we may be glad that at length it bath happened in onr day. The Church, in her duty to her poor, Is now on a footing to be just, and it may not stop until it has learned to be generous. Let us be encouraged in that a dispensation is committed to us, that we may assist in redeeming our past delinquency towards the feeble, aged, and unfortunate. In proof thereof thlB edifice, located en one or the leading avenues or our growing city, is this day presented to you. You ladles have lor the most part supplied the means, and the treasurer will show you that we have used them, and the secretary or the Building Committee will give yon In detail the distribution or the work and the progress up to the present prox imity to its final finis, and the vouchers of the Secre tary of the board will appear In the general ac count. The death of Mr. Phillips, a patron of the institu tion, was an uncontrollable grief to us all. Yet we are not in despair. Dear christian ladles of the nome May you be blessed abundantly in your labor of love, and may it be fresh in your remembrance always. The report or the Building Committee was then read by Mr. Charles Scott, the Secretary. From this report we glean the following : The committee were appointed April 6, 1870, and consisted of the following gentlemen: Am js Phillips, Thomas T. Tasker, Sr., John Hunter, David II. Bowen, and Charles Scott. The plan of building was adopted by both the ladles' and gentlemen's Board or Managers and Trustees, April 14, 1809. The corner-stone was laid June 16, 1S7U. The bnllding was put up by the board purchasing the building materials themselves, and contracting for the labor only. Mr G. W. Ash acted as superin tendent of the work or building. A death occurred in the board, that or Mr. Phillips, whloh vacancy toe board filled by the election of Mr. Wm. Matthews. The report or the treasurer was read by Mr. James Long.

THE FINE ARTS. Waid's Statue of Shakespeare. The colossal statue of Shakespeare modelled by J. Q. A. Ward, Esq., for Central Park, New Yorx, ana cast in bronze by Messrs. Robert Wood & Co., ef tkis cUy, has just been placed in the window of Messrs. Ea'iey fc Co ,at Twelfth and Chesnut streets where It is attracting much attention. The statue Is somewhat larger than life, as It is to stand In tbe open air, and Is to be seen from a dls. tnnce, and the sculptor has represented the poet in the prime of a vigorous manhood, meditating upon some one of his Immortal works. The figure stands firm and erect, one ha id resting easily upon the hip and the other pressing what appears to be a manu script volume to his breast, , Tne bead Is slightly bent forward, the . brows are somewhat - contracted, and the face has a profoundly thoughtful expression span It. This is one of tbe great merits of the work, for tha man sctually sppears to be lost in thought and this ex pression is sufficient to redeem some of the weak points that cannot fall to strike the attentive ob server. The head bears a resemblance to the best portraits of Shakespeare, without being a copy of any one of them ; It perhaps may be considered an Idealisation of the Stratford bast, although It represents the poet as a much younper man than that does. The eyes are somewhat preternaturailTUrge; bnt, with this ex ception, tbe npper part of the head is veryflae. The month, tnd chin appear weak, especially irom a first view. In the costume Mr. Ward hai eopied some articles of attire borrowed from a theatrionl wardrobe, and It certainly la not as clslo as It should be In a work of such Importance as this. For this reason the figure has a theatrical look which might easily have been avoided, and It does not make the same deolded impression that it should. Despite these defects, the statue possesses manp merits, and it will be avery attractive ornament to Central Taik. With regard to the brence casting we can speak with unqualified praise. Messrs. Robert Wood A Co. hare turned out many excellent specimens of bronze work, but nothing ruperlor to this, and it Is doubtful whether anything superior In the way of bronze casting could be executed at the most celebrated European foun dries. ' FORTUNE'S WHEEL. An Heir to $150,000 Fonnd In a Prison. The San Francisco Call of the 5th Instant savs: t . . - Many years aero there lived in the state ot Delaware a family of tbe name of Fisher, who commanded tne respect oi all who Knew tnem, and were weu-to-oo In a financial point ot view. There was one son in the family who was a very wild and "devil-may-care" sort ef fellow, of about twenty-tour years of acre, who ten years since left home "to see the world." In a little over two years he found himself friendless and penniless; wine, bad women, and fast company having In tbat short space of time broueht htm flown to one oi the lowest rounds In tbe ladder ot life. After he left bis home no tidings were had of bim. Shortly after his absence his father died. Several years ago the mother died, and when her win was aamntea to prooate, it was ciscovered that she bad left to her truant son real estate and money at interest valued at one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. THE SEARCH. The executors of the will did everything In their power to discover the whereabouts of tbe heir. Letters were sent to persons far and near who bad Known mm; advertisements were In eerted in newspapers; bnt no satisfactory re sponses were received, and all hope of ever seelDg mm again was at last given np. A STRANGE COINCIDENCE. . A few days since a visitor from the East. while on a tour seeing the sights of San Fran cisco, chanced to visit the city prison, and while looking at the occupants of the different cells he saw a face, that of a man about thirty-five years oi aire, pressed nard against the iron bars, Be watched the features for a few moments, and then addressing the owner of the face. asked htm his name and place of nativity. The party addressed replied that It was i ieher, and tbat he was from Delawara. "On what charge are you here?" asked the visitor. . "Common drunk," curtly replied the prisoner, A few words more were exchanged, and the visitor became satisfied that the prisoner was tbe missing heir, for whom the sum of $150,000 was waiting. ! He received information that a fortune had fallen to him without the least apparent pleasure PRIVATE PROPERTY AT SEA. Germany and the United States Agree to Exempt It from Capture An Extension or tne "fane conference" uoctrlue. When the Paris Conference of 1867 agreed to aboliEn privateering, tne united estates refused to accede to tbe proposition, unless all private property should be exempted from capture at sea. ingiana ana r ranee reiusea to accept tms doctrine, aitnougn rrussia was in iavor ot it, and Russia was t nougat to oe wining to adopt it, When tbe war between France and Prussia broke out last year, the Prussian Government gave notice to all tbe great powers that it would act upon the American or Marc y doctrine, and would make prize of no private French property at sea. But France took a less liberal coarse, and adhered strictly to her rights under the Parts declaration of public law. The cable despatch from Berlin which ap pears in our second edition to-day, has evidently oeen misinterpreted Dy me agent wno Has tried to decipher it, on account of his ignorance of these facts. We have been permitted, by the courtesy of the Associated Press olilce, to con sult the original despatch, which Is doubtless to be read as lollows: . . ''The Alabama question having now been decided Dy tne ratincation or tne treaty or wasnington. it is reported here that all the American envoys on the continent of Europe have received Instructions to endeavor to secure th assent of the powers to the Marcy proposition for tne protection from seizure of all private nronertv at sea. "The consent of England and France to the pro position Is still regarded as doubtful." N. Y. Even. xngfosu - yOTEL EXPERIMENT. Mr. John D. Fries, of South Coventry town ship, Chester county, Is trying the experiment oi raising an eagle, natcnea Dy a nen. The Pottstown Ledger gives the following account; "ibout a month ago, while on Nyce's Hill, he saw a large bird fly np from a lonely place among tbe rocks. Proceeding to the spot he discovered two eggs, of nearly the size and ap pearance of turkey eggs, which he picked np, brought home, and placed under a sitting hen. About a week ago the eggs were hatched out, and Mr. Fries was astonished to find that they were eagles. Tbe old hen must have been con siderably surprised, too, for she spluttered about and tramped upon one of her rare progeny, and killed it. The other one Is doing well, and will probably grow np. Eagles some times carry off chickens, and it would be rather a joke if this specimen would some day gather up tbe old hen that hatched it and fly away with her." N. T.
