The journal of Saturday's proceed ings was then read and approved. The presiding elder. Bad their characters com mented on by several of the ministers of their re spective districts, and they, in turn, answered as to whether any ebarges could be made against those under their charge, but no one was impeached. Tbe diatnets, m represented, ere in s good condi tion, ana glorious revivals among the ohurehes have taken place during the past year. In the Wilmington district, the Bev. J. N. Hagee was reported as having passed away from this lire, to the mansions prepared for him In heaven, The Bev. Messrs. J. Oarllele and W. Smith, of the same district, were granted a superannuated relation, at their, own request, their health having failed to a great extent. Bishop Levi Scott appeared bn the platform at *,■< o’clock. Bev. J. F. Boone, of the Easton district, explained that charges against his loyalty to the Ohurch and State, recently published in a local newspaper, were wholly untrue. His aharaoter was then pasted. The presiding elder of the Beading dlstrlol men tioned the death of the Bev. J- K. Anderson as having occurred within the pa«t year. Be also stated that Key. J. F. Reynolds desired to return to hia native plaoe, and wished A location, which was granted him. ..... - From the North Philadelphia di«triot, the Rev, J, S.

Dr. untie, presiding elder of the South Phi ladelphia district, announced the death of Bev. J. W. Mecsakey as having occurred since the last an nual session. He was a man of excellent theologi cal abilities, and the instrument, in God’s hands, of saving hundreds of precious souls. Bev. J. W. Landreth, of the same dlatriot, wish tag to remove to the We.t, waa granted a location. The ballots were then oait for the remaining dele gate to the General Conference, and the tellers re tired to count them. Bev. G. S. Conway, on motion of Rev. Adam Wallaoe, his presiding elder, was continued on trial at his own request, and not, at previously reported, for having failed In his examination. He eould not appear before the examining committee on account of 111 health. At this time a paper was presented by Bev. J. F. Chaplain, with his name attached to It, charging Bev. Elijah Hiller with conduct unbecoming a min iater. Several remarks were made as to'the propriety or lawfulness of stating the charges before an open Conference, and as to whether he had been previous ly notified that the charges would be brought against him. No action was taken on tbe matter, but it Is the intention of Mr. Chsplain to have the caie thorough ly investigated, and so noted on. The fifth ballot for a delegate waa then announced. Number or votes cast 162; necesiaryto a choice 82. As no one received the number rflfulred, another ballot waa taken, and the tellers retired to count as before. Rev. S. Powers, on account of sickness in family, waa granted leave of absence. A letter from Rev. J. T. Graoey, missionary to India, from this Conference, was then read. It was In reply to a letter from the Committee of Corres pondence, appointed for the purpose, and contained Ids warmest thanks for their consideration of him, and a God speed to the Philadelphia Conference in all its deliberations. Rev. T. C. Morphy then "said: I move you that it is with great pleasure we hear this letter from our feliow*brother and co-laborer, and we express our unabated confidence in and sympathy with him in the great work to which he has beeireslied, and that a committee ol three be appointed to address him on the part of the Conference, and give some incidents which have or will take place during its session, whioh was so ordered, Tqe same committee as before were continued. A resolution was offered by Rev. Mr. Kurtz re questing Rev. Pennell Coombe to furnish Ms airmon. on baptism,delivered before the Philadelphia Preach ers* Association, to the book agents at New York for publication in traot form. Bev. Mr. Coombe hoped such would not be the case, asit waa not a sermon but merely the skeleton of one and besides, he had no desire to bring his name be fore the public. Amotion was made to lay the resolution on the table, which was lost. The resolution then passed. The majority of the Committee on the Division of the Philadelphia Conference then offered the fol lowing report: The committee appointed at the last session of this Conference to obtain information on the sub ject of dividing the Conference, beg leave to report, that they have received communications from only a few charges, and these mostly from the Peninsula. No new facts have been obtained, but a majority of the charges, which have expressed a wish on the subject, give preference to a division by the Penn sylvania State line. Eighteen Quarterly Confe rences, or the Snow Hill district, out of nineteen Which took action on the subject, ask for the Penn, sylvanta line—three of the charges in ’Wtimlngtoa district ask that there be no division at present In the opinion of your {committee, the state ol the country has not so far changed since our last ses sion as to justify a different course of notion from that then taken; they, offer the following resolutions, viz: First. That is Inexpedient to divide the Confe rence at its present session. “ Second. That this Conference respectfully ask the next General Conference to renew to us the au thority to divide at any session between this and the General ConferenVof 1868. P. COOMBE, JAS. CUNNINGHAM, Rev. Pennell .Coombe said: These are the facts which have been brought before the committee up tc the time the report was made. Rev. Mr. Massey moved that the report be laid on the table for the present. Agreed to. The sixth ballot for one more delegate to the General Conference was then announced. Whole number of votes cast, 173; necessary to a choice, 00. The Bev. W. McCombs received 102 votes, ana was therefore declared elected. Amotion was then made that instead of electing two reserve delegates, to serve in case of death, sickness, or otherwise, the original committee have power to select them. Laid on the table. The members then cast their vote* for two reserve delegates, and tbe tellers retired to count them. The Rev. T. J. Thompson presented the following as a minority report of the Committee on the Di vision of the Philadelphia Conference: Whereas . The General Conference of 1860 did 'an* thonze the Philadelphia Conference to divide itself at any tune prior to the next session of the General Con* ferenca and form ft new Conference; and whereas there is a strong conviction in the minds of many of the preach ers and people on the Peninsula that a Conference for their territory, bounded north by the Pennsylvania StsU line, will promote the interests of the church with in their bounds: therefore Rtsolvea, That the Philadelphia Conference be, and it ieierebv divided into two conferences. The one to be called Wilmington embracing /Delaware. tbe eastern shore of Maryland, and the eastern shore of Vvainia. and the other to be called, as - now. the Philadelphia Conference, and to inclnde all the remain* ing portion of the present Philadelphia Conference. . Resolved, That a committee of six. three from each of the proposed Conferences, be appointed to divide equita bly between tbe two Conferences the claimants on itß mnds. together with all other interests, educational, nnanleal. or otherwise, and that they report to the next session of the Conference Resolved, That the two Conferences hold their next session together. Mr. Thompson desired his repork to be laid on the table, which wafi ao ordered. The motion made on Saturday, to strike out the preambles to the resolution in regard to the new chapter on slavery, was at this time renewed. Rev, P. Coombe said it te those great historical faots which have produced the thanks expressed In the preambles. He was entirely opposed to striking them out. Rev. Wesley Kenney somewhat doubted the ex pediency of entering upon the discussion incident ally raised upon this subject. He wanted to know if the preambles set forth facts, If they do, why want to strike them out. Did we concur in 1861 with the East Baltimore Conference. We did. It admits, then, of no controversy* He then quoted the different points, and asked if they were all facts, 1 which was affirmatively replied to. If these are ■ not fasts, join us in this issue, and if they are let us ' show it by our votes. i Rev. George Barton thought the words spoken by < Mr. Kenney were strange logio. He objected to the 2 preambles, not because then were no faots expressed in them, but because they are not presented here in a legal form for actions taken by us. He held that ' the above were not proper reasons for action in the premises. It involves a principle of moral as well as civil law. The preambles are irrational and de grading to the Church. He held that no law of the Government could change the eternal principles of ' truth and righteousness. It assigns a reason for action whioh, in hia judgment, was unworthy or the body. He wanted the resolutions alreadvpassad to stand on their own merits. He continued at length, when a motion was made by Rev. John Thompson to lay the preamble on the table, and ear ned. The tellers then reported the votes for reserve delegates to be 165 j necessary to a choice 85, No one received the required number, consequently no one was elected, neither was there any further bal loting done. The Conference then, on motion, ad journed. ’ After singing the doxology, the benediction was pronounced by Bishop Levi Scott. SIVAD. - THE CITY. Thermometer. MARCH 14,1863.

We see no great deal, perhaps, in either persona or events, which resembles the type of that htroitm and of that statesmanship which history has thus far considered the American type; a dignified and remarkable lype, no doubt, and one which, perhaps, will never be reproduced; the type, I mean, of that day whMil achLTed op- lodtpandenco and established our Constitution; the day of 1776 and 1787, '• Yet it cannot be denied, I apprehend, that both the events and the men of this day have their own type; a remarkable typo also; one which, if it finds »o exemplar in any previous age or in any other country, is probably not the lees a get nice type in its relations to greatness.

They were made a body politic by an act of As sembly in 1843, and a, suoh wa, capable of receiving and holding property, real and personal, but by the consolidation act their property and trust funds of every hind and description were transferred to and vetted in the oity of Philadelphia, and nil sum, of money due, or to become due to the Board, were to be paid into the City Treasury; and all sums ex pended by or for the purpose, of the Board were to be paid by the Oity Treasurer upon order, drawn under appropriation, regularly made by Councils. By the act of consolidation, the authority of Ithe City Councils over the funds of the oity was made as abiolute as the sepatatiou of the Board of Con trollers from these fund, was complete. No money was to be taken from the treasury without having been previously appropriated to speoifis objects by the Councils, and no appropriation wa, to be over drawn. _ Before the first day of March in eash year, the Controllers of the Public School, were to furnish Councils the amount that, in their {judgment, would be necessary for the publla schools, but Councils were to direct the amount to be applied and paid by the City Treasurer to school purposes. A iubis quent set of 1866 prescribed that no appropriation should.pe made withoutan ordinance therefor, expressing the objects thereof, and the amount ap propriated to inoh object. And still another .act, that of 1866, enjoined the City Controller to keep separate acoounts for each speoifis or separate item of appropriation, and all warrants were to state particularly against whtoh of said Items said warrant Is drawn. The City Coun cils also were required by the same act, in making appropriations, to state the items of expenditure under separate and distinct heads for which each appropriation was intendrd. The Legislature have thus done all they could to place the disbursement of the public funds in the same hands in wbioh the power of taxation is lodged, and the power of disbursement is hedged round with all possible checks and guards. An ap propriation in general terms "for the support of Subtle schools ” would leave to the City Controller, Ity Treasurer, or the Controller, of the Publle Schools, the power of appropriation to the many specific objects that combine to make up the com mon school system of the city, and would ba too in definite for the purposes of the sots of 1856 and ’56. Nothing but specific object, and -Items will satisfy the demands of these statutes, flense, the Couoeils, by an ordinance of March 4, 1861, very properly itemized the appropriation for school purposes, ap propriating $1,600 for salary of the principal of the Normal School, and $4,200 for salaries of the teachers in said sohool, and providing that the City Controller should countersign no warrant for sala ries of tray teacher., except he find that a scale of salaries has been adopted by tbe Controllers, whtoh sbould not exceed in the quantity payment, one fourth of tbe aggregate in said ordinance, appro priated for salaries. We consider that ordinance a fair mode of dry ing out the intent and purpose of the acts of Assem bly. Without specific explanations there would be great danger of woful expenditure. But OouooUs could not be expected to specify every item of ex penditure In their act of appropriation. The system was too large and complex to admit of this. More than half a million of dollars was appropriated by tbe- city for school purposes In 1861, which, beside tbe State appropriation, was to be applied to the construction and repair of school houses, the pay ment of salaries, the purchase of books, and other necessities of numerous schools throughout the city. The Legislature of the oity was not a body well fitted to descend into the minute details of the system, and to measure out the exact sum eaoh teacher was to receive, but they oould olaulfy the general ob jeotr ol expenditure, of whisk teachers’ salaries would be one, leaving to the Controllers the subdi vision of the sum appropriated to that object among the several Individuals entitled to share in It. Tet, If tbe Controllers were not required to graduate sa laries In suoh mariner that the aggregate should not butrun the appropriation, it i, manifest they might involve the city lo debt, and compel a new appro priation to meet deficiencies, a principle of adminis tration destructive, not only to true economy, but of the theory of government, whloh confides tbs public parse exclusively to the discretion of Coun cils. Accordingly, the ordinance was framed to meet all these conditions. Speoifis appropriations authorized distribution among proper parties, and a 6 rBBua dcd scale of salaries to prevent deficiencies. _ A*i®of the Publlo Schools mast sub -14 Imposes a limitation on which U reasonable and just.

She waa a teacher In the aervloe or the attv, and it Was the duty of the Controllers to fin her salary with reference to the services of all other teaehers, ao that the appropriation to teaohera’ salaries would be adequate to pay every teaoher as well aa herseir. Until tbla waa done ahe had no right of notion against the city. But If the Controllers neglected to perform their might, perhaps, hold them liable in damage*.

The queetion in thla eate waa whether the Re ceiver of Texea can control the publication of the names of delinquent taxpayer* in a greater number of newspaper*, and for a greater number of times, than pro viced for by an ordinance of Oounolle malt ing an appropriation to pay therefor. .*« appropriated for this purpose $2,600, with this proviso: “That said advertising shall not be done in more than two papers, nor more than one time in each; and provided, further, that the entire oo»t of eaid advertising shall not exeeed eight cents per name.” The Receiver of Taxes disregarded this proviso, and caused the names to be advertised in three newspapers, among these the Daily News, the bill for wnioh, the appropriation being deficient, the city refused to pay. Suit wae brought In the District Court to recover, and the jury rendered a verdict for plaintiff. The case was then taken to the Supreme Court by writ of error. The opinion of the majority of the court by Judge Agnew wae at considerable length, and ooualuded by reversing the judgment of the Dletrlot Court, thus deciding that the aetion of the Receiver of Taxes was Illegal, and that thq claim of Flanigen had no foundation In law. e Supreme Court at Bflsl PrluWudgs Agnew.

Albert Wlae and Charles White were arraigned at the Central Station yesterday afternoon on the charge of robbing the house of Mrs. Rachel Carson, on Twelfth street, one door below Spruce, on Sun day afternoon. The old lady who occupied the house waa at ehureh at the time of the robbery. The arrest of the parties may be attributed to James Kelly, an active, well-known, and esteemed citizen, who, under tbxeats.of being shot, secured one of the offenders. The asme parties have been In custody several times recently, but there was not sufficient testimony to hardly hold them. In the police vooa bul*ry, they are not? in that peculiar position called •'dead to itghta.” The folio wing eridenoe wai elicited: Rachel OaMon, an old lady, oooupant of the houee. testified that she was at ohuroh on Sunday after noon : while there, her residence wae entered through aback window, the shutters of which'were pried open; the eum of $lOO in gold, tn a bag, was stolen; also, about S9SInU. S. Treasury notes, and a smaller sum in bank note*; also a gold penoll, chain, and breast-pin were stolen. Mrs. Carton identified the property that had been recovered. A young man named Johnson, a soldier, of the 183 d Regiment, eald that he was standing at a street corner; saw a man (Mr. Kelly) chasing another; witness tried to head fugitive off; told him to stand; fugitive partly pulled a pistol out of his pocket, and threatened to shoot; Mr. Kelly came up and ar rested him; a big crowd was running. James Kelly sworn: Msjor Moore and myself, wbile walking down Twelfth street, near Spruce, stopped.for a moment to look around at the houses, as the Msjor said he would like to get a email one for his wife to live in; we were looking at the house that was lobbed, It being eloied. thinking that It might be to rent; presently e colored lady eame up and said two thieves were In the house: they had entered in the back way, having climbed over the fence; went round to the yard, and saw two men come out of the back door; I told the woman to go after an cffleer; I stood guard at the gateway; one of the young men (Albert Wise) ran out, and I gave chase; cried stop thief; he threatened to ehotsl me; I xtrested him, and gave him into the custody of an offleer, who took him to' the station-house. John Garvin (police offleer) testified that he was standing at Broad and Bombard, street*: heard the ery of "Stop thief;” saw a man (Chas. White) run down Juniper street, from Pine; at Bombard street saw him knoeh four or five persons down; he ran out Bombard atreet; I hastened to Broad street, and saw Urn running; I redoubled my energies, and caught him on South atreet; he drew a billy on me, and demanded to know what I arrested him for; I told him to eome along; as we were walking, some one eaid he had robbed a house; I eaid to him, you’ve killed somebody; he replied, that he had not, he had only robbed a house; a citizen eame up and called my attention to the fact that the prisoner had a greenback in his month, he sadUmoed it. . Michael McLaughlin (police officer) testified that be saw people running; met Mr. Kelly, having one ortbeprisonere (Wlae) in custody; he was handed over to me; he had eome paper money that he tried to throw away; found a chain and breastpin on him: found a jimmy at the house, with whioh the windows had been pried open. On the person of White were found a number of skeleton keys, and the monev In gold. The prison ers were committed in default of $2.00e-bail each to answer. A third party was arrested, but there being no evidence against him be wae discharged. Aa a prelude to the above, we may aay that the Srisonen were taken into the Gallery-room. Detee- Ive Galanan, upon entering, remarked, <‘Aha, Whitey, they’ve got you at last, have they 1” “Yes,” replied White doggedly, with an affected ■mile. Counterfeit Flfty-eent Postage ifotts, George W. Stroud and George w.

On retiring from thentore she dropped the note, and the prisoner pleked It up. On being charged With doing so, be etoutly denied it..
