THE CITY. Charity Hospital. Philadelphia, to long famed lor her charitable institu tions, seems still to maintain her pre-eminence in that regard, it we may judge from the continued efforts, on the pari of lit-rlieuev-'lciilcillzeus, io meet Die Increasing demands upon tlioir charitable assistance in a thousand different vajs. Bnpported mainly, and some entirely, by voluntary contributions, onr chirities are a source <*f ■wonderment to the stranger, who is surprised that we do so much and so well. TbeChnrity lloapltdl, to wlliftll we would call the attention of the public, promises to take position in the first rank of our benevolent institu tions. Founded in 1557, by some philanthropic gentle men, and dependent wholly upon the Individual offerings of a Tew, it lisb Hfruggh-d along, dispensing Us benefits to all who applied with as liberal a hand as its limited resources would Allow. Its design presents the merits of a general and lying-in hospital, as well as those of a hospital for ereclaltifs. Following the mode adopted in Europe. medicine is divided there into several depart- each one of which ia under the charge of a dif ferent physician, who has a ward or wards allotted and prepared for the peculiar treatment of his specialty. This plan, successfully carried out, must result in great benefit to the community in not only affording those who may apply for aid tho advantages of a more speedy relief and euro, but also of Grouting a profitable school of medU cine, wherein the student can acquire a more thorough knowledge of each department of practical medicine by carefully observing the large number and great variety of each class of diseases which may successively present then, selves. The lying-in department alone should enlist the chari table sympathies of our wealthy Christian ladles, who could not do better than to aid iu securiug to their poorer sisters a comfortable retreat during tho anxious period of parturition. An extensive field is hero presented them to exercise their Christian philanthropy, and certainly great results, both to the Buffering and themselves, would follow its generous and acrive cultivation. It is to he re gretted that other hospitals do not provide for this class, and that no other resorts than tho charity hospital and almhousc exist where the poor female may find refupe at that anxious period. Funds are greatly needed to enable itfl OlliCOMtO COUI - the woik of improvement so long desired, in order to put it iu a state of perfect efficiency. A hospital of grand proportions, aud mcd« lied according to the original design, would he a noble mouumeut to our benevolence, and would he the some* of inappreciable good to the poor of our city, Ir is under tho direction of zeaioua and at tentive physicians, and the ladies composing the Ladies 1 Hoard deserve great credit for the attention and active y.eal they have shown in its recent management. No charity claims more earnestly or justly the sympathy and uwiwt 9? 9W 9itis?M than this, sro! it is truly to im hoped that every one who can spare something, whether little or much, will donate it to tho Charity Hospital. Articles serviceable in an hospital might sometimes be given more easily than money. Those who could thus give are requested to send conti ibntions to the Charity Hospital, Buttonwood below Broad. Donations in money and annual contributions will be gratefully received by Mrs. H. Overjiau, Secretary of Ladies 1 Board, IG‘29 Green street: or, Mrs. John W. Forney, 618 Locust street.

It is as follows: Whereas* The Southern States have seceded aud en gaged in a most urjnst and wicked rebellion against the Government of the United States, with tho avowed pnr pm 9f it.«Twthr«Yf ) wiiUstabliehing «saturate and in, dependent Confederacy on principles subversive of human liberty: and, D7icreaf, The Federal Government has been com pelled to use force of arms, and is no *r engaged in a fear ful war to suppress said rebellion and to maintain its own supremacy: ant, IFAcrear, It is the duly of the Church, both in its mi nistry aud membership to employ appropriate means for the maintenance and perpetuity of good government, and to sustain the powers that be in this great struggle; therefore Mesolvedtjst. That while wedisclaim all connection with political parties, yet ns loyal ministers, in Confer ence assembled, we do hereby express our utter abhor rence and opposition to the present rebellion as being the offspring of treason, aud the instrument of the destruc tion of the best Government of the world. Reset ved* 2d. Tluit the army aud the navy have our deepest sypipathy aim fervent prayers, and that we pledge our influenceJo encourage and assist them in their noble and righteous deeds to maintain the honor of our flag, the integrity if the Constitution, and the restora tion and maintenance of onr glorious Union. 3d. That we will clieci fully bear our portion of any tax or taxes that may bo required by the Government to defray the expenses of the 4. That while we confess our gins, and humbly pros trate ourselves before the face of Almighty God, wo thankfully receive the many victories which have crown ed our armies, as tokens of His favor, and with gratitude and hope we lift our hearts to Him by whom kings reign and prince? decree justice, that victories may continue to Mw ns until ministers of the Gojpel, and from our ordina tion vows. 10 be men of one work; to give ourselves wholly to the ministry of the Word, and the care of Christ’s flock, which he purchased with his blood: and Whereas, Then; exists a state of things in this coun try, growing cut of a wicked rebellion against the Go - Tenraicnt, vliicli rend era it iuiligpuniable to an unotu strutted fulfilmect of duty that our loyalty be above suspicion, therefore. Resolved, 1. That we. the members of the Philadel phia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Conference ;»£Hembled, will, and hereby do, solemnly re assume our vows to give ourselves wholly to the work YiheieiiDTO we are called* entering in at every open door to pitach “ the uusearahahhj riches of Christ.” 2. That no door, now open, may be closel against us, either by the expression of political preferences, or on the ground of any suspicion of disloyalty to the Govern ment, we respectfully rtqnest the V. S. Marshal of this district to bo present on the day of this month, at o 7 ciock, for the purpose of administering the oath of allegiance, w hereby we may assure ah good citizens of our loja’tyto the Government, tko ( Constitution, and the laws of the United States. * 5. That thjs preamble and resolutions be published in the Christian Advertiser and Journal , and that other paper* circulating within our bounds be requested to copy* 0. GUOK. The Bev. P. Coombe presented a substitute for both papers, recognizing the United States Government aB or dained of God, and that only tire actiou of the people can dissolve the Union ; announcing the loyalty of the M. E. Church; declaring that all grievances may be redressed under the Ccindilutiouj endorsing the policy Qf tltf Ad ministration and the prosecution of the war. Further, the resolutions declare as follows: 5. That we specially approve the position taken by the President, that “ this i ebellion is the rebellion of indi viduals, and not the rebellion of Statesthat tlie’Con stituticn being the supreme law of iho land, no State has thought to withdraw from the Union, and, therefore, the action of State officers to effect this object is a usurpation ot official authority, and cannot change the legal position of the State, nor destroy its rights under the Constitution. 6. That as the constitutional right of a State caunot be destroyed by the illegal action of its officers, nor by tlxe rebellion of its citizens, the General Government can not cmißlittitiona ly interfere with the domestic affairs of any such State. bur, as slavery, which is controlled by the States where it exists, lias been made the occasion of this war, the Gtuerul Government may co-operate with such States for the removal of this evil from the land. We, therefore, do most cordially uoite with the President in paying, “That the United States ought to CO-oparatO With »«>• Slate which may adopt a gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to snch State pecuniary aid, to be used by such State, at its discretion, to com pensate for the inconvenience, public and private, pro duced by such change cf system.” 7. That the President deserves, and shall receive, out most hearty support in his wite and lirm resistance to the measures of the ultra-Abolitionists cn the one hand, and to pro-slaveiy Secessionists on the other. S. That the success which has lately attended the efforts of our brave and loyal soldiers not only proves the skill of those who planned the campaign, but it fur nishes cause of devout gratitude to Almighty God, who has caused them to triumph over (he enemies of the Union {*. That as God h*s ordained that civil rulers shall not only be “a praise to them that do well,” but also that they shall he ‘ the ministers of God to execute wrath upon him tbat dneth evil,” the Government, in order to fulfil its divine mission, should not only protect loyal ju/n. wherever fotihd, bul It should also bring to just And certain punishment 1 lie leaders in this most wicked re bellion. 10. That a~ Christian ministers, wo will moßt ardently pray that the President, hia Cabinet, and both Houses of Congress, together with all who are in authority, may be 80 guided and controlled by Divine Wisdom that the re bellion may soon be put down, and that peace be restored to our distracted country. The consideration of the whole subject was made the order of the day for Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock.

By working earl] and late a smart hand may finish three pairs per day, but ordinary sewers can not mAh4 wore thftn two pairs, which will amount to fif teen cents a day. But the low price was not all; the pay was not foitbconiihg when the work was finished, and the woman-had to pawn two pairs of the drawers to ob tain enough money for ber immediate wants, and these ahe had to take off the contractors hands at fifty cents each before h£ tw iild agree to a settlement.

A Divorce Case upon tiie Plea of DISLOYALTY.—A curious divorce case transpired last \ve*k in Harrisburg, the complainant in which is a Phi ladelphian. It seems that in February, 1860, Mias Katharine Brown, the daughter of a well-known druggist, was luiihtl to rrt. fleorge Henry Hopbine, of Winchester, V». The match was an uncongenial one, and tho petitioner alleges that Hopkins treated her with marked neglect, indifference, and cruelty. He finally forsook her iu February Inst, and has since, it is believed, made ailegi. auce to the Confederate Government. Upon the ground, mainly, of his disloyalty, the petitioner asks for a fnli and final divorce. £ho is corroborated, as to thedisloyal ty of Hopkins, by Chief L. 0. Baker, of the Government detective police. The petition of Mrs. Hopkins is explicit as to details, and narrates many incompatibilities ot disposition aod seniinieut She lays, fofi lUAiapU, that «dii thi QOtk December, 1860, we had a discussion upon the speech of Tlios. R. Colb. of Georgia, when my husband argued bis Secession views with such violence as to cause me great faintness and illness. He seemed to regret his vio lence, professed repentance, and, with a show of great love for my mother and myself, threw aside his objaitions to my going to visit my parents in his absence. He left for Virginia on the 22d December, IS6O, aud did not re turn until the 4th of January, 1861, when he passed through the city and went fit et to Germautown to his mother, where he remained several hours —thus passing by without any knowledge or inquiry as to uiy condition* having been without any intelligence from me for five or six days. He had especial dislike to my habitg of care for expenditure, and neglected no opportunity to ridicule and condemn them.” Again: “He strove constantly to impress me with dietrnst of my menial capacity, and to impress upnn mo his belief that my memory was failing through disease. Although this caused me much anguish and apprehen sion, I am happily unconscious of any abatement of memory or any other mental faculty, and have the satis faction of knowing that all who hold me dear and know hie belt hftvi ant yet puu&iv&l no reason for so distill ing an opinion ” The petition is well written, and a strong case seems to have been made out by tho petitioner. The Army Vote.—The Act of 1839 DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL—Ba Saturday, in the Coint of Quarter Sessions, before Judge Allison, District Attorney Mann called up the case of Joseph Kunzman, charged with illegal voting at Camp Kalora niH, District of Columbia. Kunzman is a member of C >l. Baliier’s Regiment, and it was siUeged that he voted with out being naturalized* After the defendant hivV. been ur« reigned, Mr. F. C. Brewster, his counsel, filed the follow ing demurrer: And the said Joseph Kunzman, in his own proper per son, conies into court here, ami having heard the said in dictment read, says that the said indictment, and the mutter;) therein contained, in manner and form as tho same, ns above stated and .set forth, are not sufficient in law, and that ho is not bound by the law c>f the land to answer for the same, and this he is ready to verify; wherefore, for waut of sufficient indictment in this behalf, be prays judgment, aod that by the court he may be dis missed, and discharged from the'same premises in the said indictments specified. And the said defendant, according to the statute in such cages made and provided, specifies the following as his causes of demurrer: That the forty-third section of tho act of Assembly, passed July 2, 1839, referred to in said indictment, is unconstitutional and void. That said section is in conflict with the first section of the third article of the Constitution of this Common wealth. That said section does not authorize an election to be held out'ide of the State of Ppcmsylvania. That said section has been repealed. That said law is in conflict with tlie Constitution of the United States. To this Mr. Mann presented a rejoinder, and tbe case was ready for argument. Mr. Brewster opened the argument and gave a history of the legislation in Pennsylvania, on the subject of the elective franchise. In 1790, the Constitution of the State contained a pro vision in the first section of article three, that every freumnof the age ot' tiventr-one years, haying resided in tbe State two years before the election, and within that lime paid a State or county tax, shall enjoy the rights of an elector. No reference to the “district” is made in the Consti tution k of 1790. That was found to be an omission, and. in IS3S, tho new Constitution copied that section, interpolating a clause forbidding a vote unless the elector hud resided in the particular district where be offered to vole. The legislation kept pace with the Constitution, for, in the Legislature enacted that volunteers in the ser vice sbc ul Ibe entitled to vote. That might be regardvd as c*nptilutlonal, for the Constitution of 1799 contained no reference to districts. The amended Constitution went into operation on the Ist of January, 1839, and upon the 2d cf July, 1839, tho Legislature passed a con solidat'd .election law, and, in the forty-third section, they saw fit to copy the section of the law of 1313. This was dearly an accident. ’ Mr Brewster then'addreseed himself to the question of domicile or residence, and cited authorities to ostabliah that a man did not lose his domicile by leaving tho Stato upon public service. lie then referred to the difficulties that would grow out oi tlie law in the matter of imposing penalties for the violation of this law. The Constitution of Ibc United Stales declares that every person shall bo prosecuted, tried and punished in the State where the offer ce is committed. Mr. Ufa m, in reply, took the ground that the “ dis trict” was no part of the qualification of an elector. The qualifications are, that he shall be a white freeman; next, of the age of 21 years j and next, that he shall have paid a tax-. The allusion to the residence is merely directory as to where he shall vote or exercise the right given him. The object of ilie law-, if fairly carried out, cannot con flict with the Constitution. The only difficulty is that the citizens do not have the privilege of overlooking the votes thus deposited by soldiers, or of exercising the right to challenge. Then- Is notblog in the ConelUuiion touch ing the subject of challenge. The soldier does not loso his residence, and*in voting be sends his vote to the place where he resides to be counted. After the argument, judge Allison entered judgment on the demurrer and discharged the defendant, and thus declared the act of 1859 unconstitutional. At tho same time lie expressed the hope tbat the Supreme Court would soon give an opinion on the question. Military Matters.—Company F, of Col. liobtrt B Patterson's rcsimenti was mustered in on Saturday. The soldiers of the First California Regiment will in great part join Col. Patterson. The places of Capt Koffer, Lieut. Kenney, Lieut. W. H. Kern, Lieut. Harrip, Lieut. Hooper, in the original California Regi ment, have been filled by Lieut. Crawford, Lieut. Ashton, Lieut. Moore, Lieut. Norris, and Lieut. Platt, of the PbiiHdriphirv Home Guard. The latter, it is said, were nominated by Col. Wistar to Governor Curtin and con tinued. Saturday morning, about 3 o’clock, John Donnelly, a member of Col. Patterson’s Regiment, encamped at BestuDville, jumped from the third* story window of the railroad depot and was killed. An inquest was held. Letters from the relatives and friends of tho soldiers in This cily, intenGed for the Pennsylvania Reserves, for the present, should be addressed to the Washington post office. Mr. Christopher Young, an -old member of the Phila delphia Grays, has been promoted to be sergeant-major in the Seventy-second Regiment of P.V-, Colonel Baxter’s Eire /jOiiftTes. The fun< ral of John Reinbard, a member of Company P, Twenty* eighth Regiment, Colonel Geary, who die! at Harper’s Ferry, took place yesterday afternoon, from the residence of his parents, on the Limekiln pike and Washington lane.

Steelman, of the Seventh Regiment Penn sylvania Reserve Corps, who died at camp, of typhoid fuver, was buried from his late residence, Fo. 137 Allen street, yesterday afternoon. The fur era! of Sergeant Harry D. Colerick, of the Fourth -Regiment Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps, who died suddenly on the 17th inst., at Alexan dria, Virginia, took place from the residence of his aunt, No. 1214 Spring Garden street, yesterday afternoon. Major Spear, late of tho Twenty-third Regiment, Col. Neill, has been promoted to the lieutenant colonelcy of the Sixty-first Regiment, Col. Rippa. Mayor Budtl has received orderi to pay to the fami lies i addins in Camden of those who enlisted in ffalsted’s Cavalry Regiment tho State bounty of six dollars per mouth—the pay to commence February 19, the date of the acceptance of the regiment .by the Governor. This regiment li»b been in service over six months, bat, by the construction given to the law of May last by tbe Su preme Court, neither it nor the Olden Legion, now the Tenth New Jersey Regiment, have received the bounty thtrtiu provided. A number of officers who served in General Patterson’s column, during the three-months campaign, held a meet ing ono evening last week, and passed the following re solutkn: “That this regiment do hereby-tender their services, through the Governor of the State of Pennsyl vania, lo the President oft the United States, for any pe riod not exceeding twelve months,” Railroad Matters. —An unusual number of railroad bills and supplements relative to Philadelphia engross the attention •of Philadelphia. Tho Bouse of Representatives has authorized the trans portation of freight and passengers over the Fifth and Sixth-streets road between the Baltimore aud New York depots. The bill lias yet to pass tho Senate. The re moval of the Broad* street Railway meets with some op position from tbe forwarding merchants of that locality. A bill has paestd tho House prohibiting loeoiH. From coming into the city farther than Gray’s Ferry, and there is also a bill pending for the opening of Fifteenth street, which, if it passes, will cut the large depot com pletely in two. On Saturday morning a serious accident occurred on the North Pennsylvania Railroad, at Dauphin street. As a passenger train was approaching the crossing, the en gineer observed a horse and wagon about crossing the track. All efforts to avoid a collision proved of no avail. The wagon was struck by the locomotive, and completely demolished. The vehicle was occupied by Mrs. Auna L. Davenport, who was seriously injured. The Harmony Engine and tiie Fire ASSOCIATION.—The bill allowing the Harmony Fire Company to receive their dividends from the Fire Asso ciation was before the Home, at Harrisburg, last week, and postponed. The intention of this bill is to override ft dcckion ol the gupr£hto Court. The Hutwmy Fire Company has been out of Bervice for yews, and has no apparatus. It was an original member of the Fire Asso ciation, and was entitled, while in service, to dividends from profits of the Association for the maintenance of its apparatus And usefulness to the poblic. The few indi ■yidwdrt who bay© held on to the Harmony ask for the dividends which the company would bo entitled to if in service. Tim Supreme Court decided tbat by going out of service the company lost a right to the dividends. The surviving members want a law to compel the Association to pay over the money. A Philadelphia United States CONSUL AT TURKS ISLAND.—We have received a copy of an address issued on the 22d of February, by United States Consul John E. Newport, of this city, now located at Turks Island: To tjie Loyal AniiitiCAN Citizens at Tunics Ismkpp; ?h« tnniyerwry pf the birthday of the m tnvruu Washington must not, this year, pass by wholly unnolicnl. The 22d of February, for many years a deeply interesting occasion, is now to all true Americans, whether at home or abroad, a sacred one. Let ua on this day cast aside all worldly occupations, and with manly hearts and Christian faith implore the God of our fathers that the great Republic, which Washington ai>4 iiis noble coadjutors founded, may not become the prey of misguided zealots-and maddened traitors; but that our beloved country—with all its constitutional liberties un- InipHired, and the blot of Southern slavery removed — may emerge from its present fiery baptism with increased materiel power, and a vaster moral influence. Deeply impressed with tliii view. I hereby request that the i ational ensign be hoisted, on said day, on all Ameri can vessels in port, and that every loyal citizen of tbe United States at these islands abstain from business, and manifest a proper and beooming observance of the me morable occasion. JOHN E. NEWPORT, United States OonsiiL Life in the Biciimond Peison. We havo obtained from William If. filoanaker, Lai., of this city, recently released From tho tobacco warehouse at Richmond, many interesting items relative to the many prisoners confined with himself.

CHURCH.—For some years the sub ject of opening a church for the Methodist form of wor ship cu Arcii Btreet has been agitated by different pro minent gentlemen connected with that denomination in this city, and at one time the matter had gone so far that a site, upon which a church could ha erected, was se lected. But this, like other attempts at the same conclu sion, foil through on account of a lack of lutorost being manifested by some of those who had the matter in hand, and the subject at length became a matter of tlie past, aud by some was considered entirely lost, until a few young gentlemen again brought tbe subject before their respective congregations a few months since. Their ef forts W6i*A £ii)66Urdged by men ol means in the church, who assured them of their support, and the gentlemen set about their undertaking with considci Able zeal, and ou Saturday afternoon last the second-story room of the building situated on the northeast corner of Broad and Arch was announced as the “ Arch-street M. E. Church,” find was thrown open for the inspection of the public The room is beautifully fitted up, with an eye to neat ness and comfort, and an invitation is extended to the public to attend. Yesterday morning the church was crowded to its ut most capacity, and many were compelled to go away, there not being sufficient room for their accommodation. Tho exercises were opened by singing the hymn— “Fromall that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator’s praise arise.” After prayer the meeting was addressed by the Rev. J. P. Durbin, from Luke xv: 10—“ Likewise I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repentoth.” The Breaker said that he had chosen this teat as the one most suitabie for the occasion, as it was the precur sory idea to deep and sublime thought and labor. His remarks were listened to throughout with great atten tion. The services of the afternoon were opened by singing, which was followed by the Rev. Wesley Kenney taking the chair* and a prayer from the Rev Franklin Moore, A. M., after which tho Bev. Francis Hudson was called upon by tbe chairman for an address. He congratulated them for having undertaken Buch a glorious work, and hoped that its philanthropic efforts might be crowned with undying glory and success. Mr. Hudson was followed by the Itev Dr. Holich, of New York. He spoke of Vbiladelphia being bis native city, and recollected when there were but four of the Methodist faith in the city. He spoke of their proximity to the Baptist church, and said that their churchy could not interfere one with the other. They could go on in the good work, and fit could the new church thej were then founding. The field of labor wag one common field in which all could labor, and each one could help the other in the good work. The speaker was followed by the Bev. Francis Moore, and others, after which a meeting of those who wished to become scholars or teachers was called, and the foundation for a Sabbatbt school was laid. In the evening, a sermon was delivered by the Rev. Theodore Stevens to a crowded bouse. It is understood that the Conference, now sitting in this city, will appoint a pastor for the church this week. Tbe Rev. Alfred Cookman will preach at tliis church on 'Wednesday evening next, the 28th iust.

Resolved, Tbat the people look to Congress for practi cal, speedy, and ei ergetic co-operatiou in the policy thus indicated ; not doubting the largest measure of benefit to. be derived, South as well' »b North, in the extinguish ment of every obstacle which lies in the way of tho na tion’s peace, and the permanent re'establishment of the national authority over the whole country.
