The missionary en terprise had found an object worthy the nutted effort of all individual Christians and of all Christian Churches,and one, too, that would tax to the utmost all gift, and cranes, Ha talents and acquisitions, and one, moreover, that cannot be prosecuted with success un less it be by the hearty co-operation of large bodies of Christians. It has outdo union au indispensable condi tion of success. if there is any imPortance attached to a close moral and spiritual union, if the very con ception We have of Christianity is agreeable with our form of ehurch organization and with our doctrinal be lief, we are better prepared to-day to enter upon a second half century of missionary labor than we were fifty years ego to enter upon the first.

It- was God only who gave to Adoniram Judson so exalted a spirit of faith, who enabled him to practice such apostolic self-denial, and who crowned the toils of his faithful servant with ouch an abundant measure 'of success. And 'On heartily Inagnify the grace of God in:you, brethren" - beloved, is that the mantle of Judson has fallen on not a few of his successors, and a - like copiousness of blessing has attended rheir labors. We note with adoring admi ration how the way has been opened before you by the hand of Providence, and your faithful missionaries, Workmen who need not to be ashamed of their work, 'have zealously bonded the temple of the Lord, both in the East and West. Your labors in Hannah and China ',have been pi evocative of our zeal, and the blessing that Las rested upon them an encouragement to our faith. We contemplate with especial satisfaction the mission which you have 'so materially aided, and which, in deed, under God, is indebted to you for for its origin in the States of Continental Europe; cherishing - the highest esteem, affection, pure and unfeigned, for our beloved brother Cricken, we: cannot but regard him as a. greatly honored servant of the Lord, a vessel visibly sauctitied for the Master's use, and have watched with the profoundest interest the, steady progress of the Gospel preached- by him and his devoted brethren, as it has spread through Germany, Sweden, Poland, and Russia. And its we contemplate the scene, we are led to indulge the hope andcoutidouec that our gracious God has yet greater triumphs in re serve, so that the throne of the Mau of Sin, so long es tablished' ill Europe, and ruling the nations with a rod of iron, shall be greatly shaken, perhaps evontnollY overthrown, by die persevering labors Of these humble and faithful soldiers of the Cross. You, brethren, to gether with oursolVes, will rejoice the more that the ex nvellency of the power should manifeStly be of God, and not of us. . We admire, beloved.. brethren, your zeal, nototlyits the mission!!, y enterprise, but also in every good work, and give thanks to. God in your behalf. Aud we greatly rejoice that the dayls apparently at hand when. the Bap tthts of Great Britain will be more than over united in the bonds of Christian love. It has been a source of bitter sorrow to our hearts that any barrier whatever. should be opposed to our free and loving Intercourse with each other, and we hail with joy the prospetn 'of its speedy destruction, not ceasing to pray for you continual. 3y, that very shortly your whole land, so wonderfully favored by - God, may be as pure as our own from the tainted breath of slavery. "Then shall the earth yield her increase, and God, even our own God, shall bless Sou." Accept, then, dear brethren, in the name of our com mon Lord, our affectionate congratulations in this year of your Missionm y Jubilee : May it be to you a year of 'manifold grace!

M. E. Church. Nesolved,,That we recognize with much satisfaction the existence in Philadelphia of a daily journal, com manding an influence and circulation commensurate to its loyalty and devotion to the principles ofjustice and universal liberty ; and that the thanks of this Con ference are due to the proprietor of the aforesaid jour nal (viz.: The. Philadelphia Preen, under the able management and proprietorship of Colonel John W. Forney) for his faithful and fair notice of the daily proceedings of this General Conference.

S T. .Tones, Rev. Jacob Trusty, and Rev. S. M. Giles, to convey to the Conference of the A. H. E. Church the Christian greet ings of the members of the %lon Church. The Committee reported in a short time they had been received with every mark of respect and Christian cordi ality; that they wore invited- to the platform, and-ad dressed the Conference, and that all sentiments of anion were applauded, with every manifestation of sincerity. Anineffectual effort was made to appoint a committee of nine to meet a similar committee already appointed by the A. M. E. Church to confer upon the union or the two organizations. This measure was thus post poned in consequence of the absence of- one of the su perintendents, and a number of ministers who had not yet arrived. A committee was appointed to assure the A. M. E. Conference that the subject would receive every con sideration at a meeting* to be held to-day, and:to request that body to prolong its session a few hours, until the opportunity should be afforded to take the necessary action.

It appeared that on the afternoon of the 19th of August last Airs. Benson was, - with others, a passenger ht ono of the defendants' cars:, going up town. When the car was in Oxford street, near 'America street, along which the track of the North Pennsylvania Railroad Is laid, and which is crossed at that point by the track of defendants; it was in evidence that - warning of au approaching train was given, by the ringing of ,a bell, and thatthe driver Partially checked his horses, as to allow the train to Pass, but changed his mind, and attempted to drive across in front or the locomotive, then rapidly nearing. In this he was unsuceessful, and the rear end of the car wasstruck by the locomotive, upset, considerably broken and thrown Into the. gutter.:., Some of the passengers were a good deal injured by the collision, and Mrs. Bee -0011 quite severely, her right arm being lacerated, and the bones crux heel in several places.

Plaintiffs allege that it was caused 1)3- the negligence of the driver and his incompetence. The defence was that the collision was caused by the fault and want or proper care of these in charge of the train of the North Pennsylvania Railroad Company_ It was alleged that it was approaeltitn,* the crossing at the rate of 'fifteen miles per boar; that no bell was rung 'nor whistle blown, as required by law, to give warning, and that if the train had been ruauing at the usual rate prescribed by the thne-table—viz: six miles per hour—the passenger car would have had ample time to pass clear of thelocomotive.

THE IDUCE AND S ANIT ALI '1 PAIL The police force have already - given oats day's wages, amounting to ever _81,200, to the general feud of the Sanitary Fair. It Is suggested that police trophies be assigned a place in the exhibition. A separate apart ment Might be arranged where these trophies could be exhibited exclusively. The portraits of the rogues' gal lery, numbering about four hundred, might have a con spicuous place, where they could be inspected: by the curiestty.seekera who will attend the great fair. The price of single admission might be fixed at ten cents for all persons who might desire to inspect such things. 13y tau arrangement of this kind, the police force of Phila delphia might be the medium through which would flow many thousands of dollars into the gullet al treasury. There are thousand, of ladies and geutlemen in Phila delphia who have read . something about the rogues' gallery, but they have never seen the portraits. The simple fact of such an exhibition would not fail to tax the curiosity of the visitors generally. We leave the subject to the consideration of Mr. Haggles, the Uhief of the Department of Police, who has already done much to enlarge the general fund of the Commission. - [Before Mr. Alderman.
