The report which gave rise to the discussion contained a resolution condemn ing the buying, selling and holding of slaves. The "Discipline," us it stands, forbids "buy ing and selling human beings." It was urged, in opposition to the proceeding, that slavery is a civil institution alone, not cre• ated by the church, and not to be destroyed by the chpreh. Mpass - thiti required a two third vote, and the vote being yeas 121, nays 95, the proposition to amend was decided in the negative. On the 30th, an effort was made to press through a second resolution of the slavery report, rendering all slave 'holders liable to the Discipline for the sin of slavery; hut it was finally laid on the table by a vote of 123 to 92. Ax rNFORTUNATE FAMILY.—The York' (Pa.) ihilwate records the dwth, from sui eide, of Mr. Frederick Latta's, an old and respectable resident of Windsor township, in that county. and then adds:—Nearly halfl a century ago his father committed suicide by poison.

Perbrips some of our readers may be euriotts to know precisely what this relation ship is. A letter received from Mr. Brooks byy-a genticusan of Boston, last February, says; "My grandfather married Senator But ier's father's aunt." The closene , s of such a relationship can only be appreciated by one who is, like Brooke, "ball a ficutcli man." T. 0. or 0.

FOUND DeowNEn.—The body of a man 'named L. W. One, suptsesed to be from' El mira, New York, was found in the Canal above the Bridge, yesterday, about noon. It is thought he fell in during the night previous. From the •evidence before the Coroner's Jury, as called by deputy Coro nor Hunter, we believe him to have been a man of steady habits and one genemlly . es teemed by those who knew him. Several accidents of this kind have occurred at the seine place, heretofore. Over three dollars were found on the person of Mr. Giles; and a certificate of deposit from the Columbia Bank, for seventy-five dollars, one dollar in gold and various papers which he had given to a gentleman named Spriggs front his neighborhood; a week before, were shown to the jury. :Verdict—accidentally drOwned.
