CITY rBULLIMICIL hirIiOVEITENTB PHILADELVVIA.-00 rap's" and extensive have been the changes and im provements in the suburban sections of Philadel phis, within the past eight or ten years, that the older : persons of the present generetion would be pulsated in the attempt to recognize old localities. This remark seems to be particularly_ _appropri-_ ate to that portion of the city south from a ~. short diatance below the'Navy Yard to the con fluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill—a dis tance of nearly five miles. The im provements here are vast; they are gigantic, and though moving slowly, compared with those of other sections, yet_ they are 'substantial and of great importance to the metropolis of Pennsyl vania. • Within the pact few years, extensive stir frays have -been-,made, soundings of the river been taken and the changes carefully noted, as indicating the action of the tide, as the wharf im provements progressed. • It is evident that the Pennsylvania Railroad track which reaches this point on the Delaware will be the great outlet for the Pacific Railway, and preparations are Ving made to receive and disburse the additional lieritage of freight that will soon came, from the occident to the orient. It is perhaps unecessary to go Into minute de tails in a newspaper sketch, and we shall there fore confine our remarks to a more general de ecription. The principal improvement is the ex tension northward of the Pennsylvania Railroad track. This will be laiden a new thoroughfare, to be known as Comthercial Avenue, running parallel with the old Greenwich Point road, at a distance of six hundred feet. The new avenue will be one hundred feet wide, and' from it the teral railway tracks will extend to the ware houses and manufactories and 'the wharves. The main track will continue up Commercial avenue until it intersects with Swanson street, and then, northward,through the Navy Yard,and as far up into the city, along Swanson street, as the Inunielpal atithoTltied For the present. however, the track will be laid up Commercial avenue to Dickerson street, thence westward to Front street, thenchnorthward to Washington avenue; but the other. rent° will be fixed when the United States Government dis poses hf the Navy Yard. The -old •Greenwich Point road wRi be widened to the eitent of eighty feet, and will be need for ordinary traveling pur poses, being entirely clear of all railroad trains. A passenger rallWay will be laid on this thorough fare as soon as the population and business re quire it. The name of the old roadie changed to that of Weccacoe avenge. Along the lineleinned by the bulkhead of the wharves there will be a splendid thoroughfare, to be known as Government avenue. This will ex tend around the line of the river until it reaches 'League Island, the site of the new Naval station. At present, however, an avenue ' one hundred and twenttfeet wide is proposed, to extend in a diagonal direction, taking in ite.course a part of the farm upon which Probst - Murdered the Deering family several years ago. The wharves and docks are very large. Most of the first are one hundred feet wide and five hundred feet in length; the docks, of course, are the same as the wharves in respect to length. They are one hundred and fifty feet wide. The ' ennsylvanta — Railroad - eompanr hate-ores two wharves, and the 'third one is in course of construction. The Company contemplate erect ing Six wharves, in addition to the long wharf of the Petroleum Storage Company. This will give six-large docks, containing an area of 460,000 square feet. A little to the northward the Greenwich Improvement and Railroad Company have also erected three large-wharves. The Philadelphia Commercial Wharf and Railroad ComPany have all their plans perfected, - and the work of improving is progressing. A large coal oil refinery and an immense oil tank have been erected on a section adjoining the Pennsylvania Railroad track, and near the - intersection of_ Weceacoe and Government ave nues. Several large wamheuses are also built, aiM in a abort time mere.._Work...mill be com menced and pushed more rapidly to completion. It may be said that the entire river front for the space of two miles is designed for heavy busi ness, lumber, iron, petroleum; and other staples ,of a commercial character. The largest cla - ss of ships are continually receiving their cargoes of _petroleum at this point, and this trade is increas ing. The general 'freight depot of the Pennsyl vania Railroad will be located immediately mirth of the present terminus of the track. It will be • an immense building. -The foundation-hero 'la excellent; none bettereoulsl_be wanted. A few piles will be r equired on the outward end, but the remainder of the under strata.ts washed gravel, imbedded in hard clay. - „ It may be truly said that the entire 'territory here for nearly eleven square miles, or, In other words, all the low land on the neck,- is underlaid' with gravel and clay. Perhaps the reader will be somewhat surprised when we state that these wharves are located nearly a mile east of Front, street, while the wharves at Market street, with which many are familiar, are not more than a hundred and fifty yards distant. From these facts some idea may be formed of the curvature of the river's edge along our city front. In a short time a steamboat' ferry 4] belfirmly established between Gloucester Polhhtnd Green wich Point. This will be a very great accommo dation to the public. There are other improvements progressing in this part of our city which the public know lit tle or nothing about. We shall endeavor to im part some information respecting them in -a fu ture paper. , INTERESTING HISTORY OP A TREE.—Theiels in Independence Square it large and beautiful tree which has rather an interesting history. It is located on the northern side of the walk extend ing from the gateway on Fifth street, and it may be. easily recognized from the fact that it inclines to the south, and, therefore, partly-overhangs the passage-way. The late Hazadiah P. Samp son, who was recently found dead in Indepen dence Hall,. furnished a history of this tree a short time before his death. Mr. Sampson was .ut one time a wholesale grocer in Philadelphia, and he won the respect of the business comm •- nity for his integrity. During his business career hesbecame intimately acquainted with Joseph Bonaparte, and after relinquishing business ac cepted a position under that gentleman, andilved with him several years at his country seat, near Burlington, N. J. Mr. Sampson had considerable knowledge of floriculture, and be took much pride in cultivating the grounds of hisTriend,. Mr. Bonaparte. This Eentleman imported two trees from Southern urope, and named them "Potilinos Impericti," in honor of a near relative. The trees grew. tolerably well for a few years, but finally drooped and died... A young tree; however, e,rew from the old roots, Und.Mr. Sampson desired to plant it in Independence Square. Mr. Bonaparte readily yielded to the proposition, and in the year 1831 it was planted on the spot over which it casts a grateful shade during the heat of the summer sun. At the present time its foliage la just beginning to bud—this process being much later than with most of the surrounding trees. The leave% when full, are very largeand curious. Mr. Sampson said that he believed it wies the only , tree of the kind in America, and that the only name ever given it was that recorded above. It was three years old when it was planted in the place it oc cupies, and consequently it must be about thirty eight years old, DIETVIIBING A FUNERAL,—Jacob F. Rau was arrested yesterday qn Oxford street,near Second, upon the charge of driving a vehicle into a fu 'neral procession,contrary to an act of Assembly. He was_ taken before.Ald. Devlin, and' was held in 13800 bail. STOLF.,A. COAT.—John Kelley went into abonse at Germantown road and Columbia avenue, and stole a coat belonging to a painter who was at work in the place.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—ThIs morning about two o'clock an unknown woman was tonna at Franktord Road' and Junction Railroad.

Troy Pa. - Alter Morning Prayers, tho Convention was called to order by Bishop Stevens. • Messrs. John Welsh, Thos. Robins and Thos. H. Montgomery :were -appointed Trustees of the Episcopal Residence. ' The next business in order was the completion 'of the Standing Committee. The Rev. Mr. Brooks nominated the Rev. .11r. Newton, and the Rev. Mr. Harris nominated the Rev. Dr. Howe, The same tellers were appointed. as at yester day's election. During the counting of the votes the annual report ot the Standing Committee was read by the Assistant Secretary. Daring the year the Committee have recommended -7 Deacons for ordination to Priest's Orders, 14 per sons for ordination to Deacon's Orders, 5 candi dates for Priest's Orders, and 20 candidates for Deacon's Orders. On the subject . of Ritualism the Standing Committee reported that they had adopted the following preamble and resolution, acting as a Connell of Advice at, a meeting held May 11, 1869: Whereas, 'The 84th of our Articles of Religion declares that whoever through his private judg ment willingly and purposely doh openly break the traditions and ceremonies of tlie Church which be not repugnant to the Word of God, and be or dained and approved by common authority, ought to be rebuked openly; and whereaa, the ceremo nies and traditions of a Church are broken when their simplicity is destroyed, and their identity becomes mistakable not leap than when they are disused Whereas, further, The Standing Committee are, by Canon H. of Title LIT.. - a Council endowed with authority to meet and advise the Bishop of their own accord: It is therefore Diaolved, L That the simplicity of the ceremonial recog-, nized by the rutnics is believed to owe its pre seriation in Pentisylvania, in part, at least, to in fluences exerted by the present Bishop and his predecessors, and these influences are thankfully acknowledged. .• That the Council respectfully recom mend thaa the Ecclesiastical authority of the Diocese use all canonical and discreet measures which may be necessary to carry out the doctrine of tbe 84th Article of Religion, and to maintain within our bounds the simplicity of the cere monies and trdditions of the Protestant Episcopal Chula. • At the concluaion of the Report, the Tellers re ported as follows: otEEICA.L VOTE. Rev. Dr. Newton.. Rev. Dr. 'Rowe Scattering' ..Ncceasary to a choice, 66. '-LAY VOTE Re . y.:Dr.'Newton Rei. s br: Howe Scattering 8 Necessary to a choice, 44. The Rev. Dr. Howe* was therefore declared elected to the remaining vacancy on the Standing Committee. Much excitement was manifested in the s nte - st --- over --- theStanding — Committhe ,-- T -11 Rev. Dr. Newton wasthe candidate of the extreme ; Low Chujch wing, while Dr. Howe was sustained by the High Church and conservative Low Church wings. The tlectioneering was carried on with all the anima tion of a political contest, and the " Waiting for the Verdict" was strongly suggestivel of the anxiety usually 'attending secular election mourns. . The Rev. Mr, Saul called attention to the rule of order which requires that members shall speak from their seats. and moved to amend so as to allow persons, with weak voices or back seats to speak from the aisle. The role was umendid accordingly. The Committee - on Diocesan Missions presented a long and interesting report of their operations during the past year. The portion of the Bishop's address referring to missions, was referrad to a special committee, -- yesterday, who reported a series of resolutions through Rev...lohn Long. The Committee re commanded that the Rectors of the various par t- hts present frequently to their congregations the inereasing r estent of the work of Diocesan missions, the necessity of more generous views of the amount of—money needed, not less than 125,000 annually; the enlargement — of - the Sub scription to the Missionary Inteiligencer, tli - e want of • more young men in the ministry. The Committee ask the Bishop to con sider the expediency-of having collections 'made 'or Diocesan missions on all occasions of his episcopal visitations where collections have not been already made. The Committee have con ..sldered the appointment of au Agent, but believe it will be best to leave the subject to the Board of Missions. . . - The views of the Committee were enforced by speeches from the Rev.
