Passage of an act requiring all advertisements relating to . property north and west of the Ohio and Allegheny rivers, in this county, to be in. sated Ms, daily paper published in Allegheny city, owned.partly, we believe, by the gentleman from Allegheny. The distingbed member has certainly, hylksisiskilful manceuverincin effecting this remit, vindicated bia reputation In Point, 'on which it was in some danger.

' , If this statement is correct it its of a piece . with the existing orders of oar several notate, which - require all' legaladvertising emanating from those Courts to be published in the "Legal iOurnal," a small weekly.aheet confused exclu sively to Court and legal matters, and having no genital circulation. - , It was no doubt the design of-the Legislature in ordering the publication of various writs, pro ' ceedings in Divorce eases, Orphans' Court sales, de., that the public at large should be informed of the facts ordered to be communicated or pub _ limbed; bat the courts by their orders have in effect nullified the objects of such publicationi. An Orphans' Court sale might -as well be plc : vain' mod in .the Court Boom as published in the .Lisgal Journal - for all purposes at, generalin. ' formation ;in fact the former would _give it more . extended publicity, and it appears to be trifling With the interests of those who are interested in the property, 4j - recasting such notices to a paper which mainly circulates among lawyers. . . If. the "member from 'Allegheny" has sue- ~ needed in inducing the Legislature to pass such a ridiculous act as above stated, he has inflicted a great injury upon the people of-that side of ' the county. The Legislature must have been grossly deceived, or such a bat could not have gone through. Every one knows that a Daily paper in Allegheny has no circulation out of 1 that city, and not much in it, and that the coon `try people would be s ignorant of the facts in- i tended to be communicated as if the advertise- Mont appeared in a paper published in Teas.— The people of Allegheny and Pittsburgh, . and of the surrounding Boroughs, hre one people in eviry thing except their municipal governments. .... _ Pithdringh it., the natural and actual centre of L., this region, - and for convenience of the people the pen are located, in it,,but they circulate - just - much in onstplace as another, in pro ,. po ' a to the number and intelligence of the . inhab tint.

Of ,the 76 clergymen whose, names were at tached to the memorial of his (Bishop P.'s) elec tion, May, 1845—nine were dew!, and of the 91 parishes then represented, 21 have been depri ved by death or otherwise, of their deputies then present. Such facts constitute a startling cull to work while we have tizei7. • - During thepast year, the Bishop had officiated on 248 occasions—number of.persons confirmed 1294; 6 churches bad been consecrated, and 3 corner stones laid; 7 candidates had been or dained Deacons and 5 advanced to the priesthood.

In 1844, the Sunday School scholars ware 9306—in 1858 there were 15,003. During the past ten years, 54 churches had been erected and occupied, and 7 more are tow in progress. In the oily of Philadelphia alone 18 new Marches have been built. The Bishop referred with pleasure to the decrease ef 'exist ing debts--and the avoidance,as tares possible, of future obligations by new id other churches. There had been paid on old indebtedness of churches, (owing in 1845,) in Philadelphia, $195,202; and new expenditures had been medal of $889,817. There had been paid on old debts in other I nert:l - of the_diocese, sls,l33—new expenditures $195,519. • Total old indebtedness paid off in Philadelphia I and other party of the diocese since 1845, $210,356.

A commit tee was appointed to inquire into the expediency pf dividing the diocese, and the appointment of as Assistant Bishop. In the afternoon, the following resolutions were passed : . Revoked, That the subject of the future divi sion of the Diocese, brought to the notice of the Convention, in. the charge of the Bishop, deliv ered this moraing,ie referred to a Committee of four clergymen and fin laymen, to be selected from various portions of the Diocese, to report thereon, after consultation with the Bishop— also, to repor t , as to the propriety of electing en Assistant Tr hop, should circumstances unfortu nately render the latter cairn legal and neces. I easy, according to the canons of the church. The following gentlemen were appointed the Committee under the above resolution: Rev. Dr. Vaughan, Rev. Dr. Morton, Rev. Mr. Lyman, DOT. Mr. Duane, BOIL Dr. Bowman, Mi. N. Welsh, Judge Fisher, Mr. Russell, Mr. A. L. Hayes, and Judge Hepburn _ Friday . Mcrning.—The following gentlemen were reportedas entitled to auta..—Ren Messrs.

The same gentleman offered a resolotion, that $BOO be allowed for mileage and expenses of Clergymen of this Convention, the Treasurer to pay the same. _ The Commute on a ! Division of the Diocese made a report; advising that they. be continued in their duty. The report was accepted. On motion of the Rev. Mr. Cornwall, Mr. GOCI. 51. Wharton and Judge Stroud were added to the foregoing committe, which was then resol ved to be increesed to twelve. The Couussitiewn Charters reported atlength and &asked - that The 'churches of St. Clement, of Philadelphia, and Calvary, of Allegheny county, Pa., be admitted to the Episcopal Union._ Sr. Perms Cation, PrrnetrenanSomltelight discussion having taken place in regard to St. Petal; Pittsburgh, the Rev. Mr. Vandusen made en explatiation in relation to the chi:ter of that church *id moved that it be admitted to the union of this Convention. . .The Charter Committee having forunisome de tect in the charter alluded to, it wu ordered to be read, which was done, and grammatical and other defects pointed out- Mr_Vacidusen defended it, asserting that it rinid been written by a county court officer. I Mr. Dueachet thought that the individual ,_ahould =toed out of his situation immediate ly, and sent to School. Members coincided as far as concerned the orthography and the dis =salon turned on the right of administration of the Church. Judge Hepburn argued forcibly in favor of its admissive and various other gentlemen followed pro and con; emsrming much time. The debate became very animated, Judge Stroud de livering en able speech, At 'length the question Was called fon.: - - Bishop l'otier arose, and remarked In Imbalance that the subject wu an important one: involving the discipline of the Episcopal Church, and' that he would maim to say that no Mundt apply ing for atitelssion with a charter similar to the one that hadbeen presented would be received. ' Mr. (lea kV Wharton spoke next, and review ed the matter." The alleged - objections .to the charter brought forward are, that it ;entail= the words "white numbers," and seems to imply that the church is not open for the admission of colored palm, and that they. are not entitled to rota.. That 'women are aleo debarnd from this privilege. and in another article. that the words force the unavoidable construction thkt no fore gn, clergymen would be allowed to officiate in the church as in case of some canal . event or otherwise. The debate continued . In:t ,usher exciting' manner and the question wee again loudly called for. Mr. Geo. M. Wharton offered an amendment to the resolcalon for admitting the- church, the !Mistime° of which was, that the applicants shall produce within six mou ths, sufficient evidence that the word "white"' had bean erased from the charters sad other necessary changes had bean made. The queetion was called for. The vote of the clergy was taken and resulted in the Church being rejected by a vote of 68 ea 18. On motion the Tote of the laltywaa not token, being considered unnecessnly, ' A motion to adjourn r i ve di4 after the usual religious exercises, was carried. The minutes of he meeting were read and ap proved, and alter prayer by Bishop Potter, the convention adjourned.

The Uni ted States 'Judge charged no conviction except ono for murder in the first degree could beren derod; but the Mormo n jury disregerdenhis, and the consequence is that the singe murder ers escape with only three years: imprisionment, which in the extreme penalty of the law for manslaughter. This verdict is said to have been - given in cempliance with the direction of Brig ham Young, who is "the mouthpiece of. God" among the Mormons. Worse than this, the Mormon jailors, suffered the prisoners to escape within a week atter the immolation! It hi high time that something should be done In Utah to establish a decent system of justice and secure the lives of our citizens from the murderous et ticks of the savages whom the Mormons are affiliating with. Tsts Comm or Cusaus.--The creation of the Court of Claims was one of the best sots of the late Congress.
