The Rev. Mr. Wylie, of New Castle ' offered the Mow ing as an addition to the resolution: "But as various collections bf Psalmbdy are used in the different'thurches, a ch ange in this respect shall not' be required." • - He stated that this amendment was in the words of the Philadelphia lauds. He did not offer it on his own account, but at the request of others. ' Pending its con sideration, the Convention adjourned till, half past seveno'clock in the evening, Rev. X.Retts concluding by prayer. 1 On reassembling in the evening the Assembly engaged in devotional exercises under the direction Of the President, after which the consideration otthe atnendment offered in the afternoon was resumed. The whole subject of Psalmody was discussed at great length by the following gentlemen among others: Rev. Geo. K. :Ormond, Rev. B. K. Ormond, Rev. L. B. Wilson, Rev. J. H. Peacock, Rev. W. T. Wylie, A. B. Cornell, T'sq., Rev. Dr., Douglas, and Rev. Dr. Bittenger. It would be impracticable to give the 'speeches of these gentlemen or even a syn opsis ef them. Nor is itnecessary, as almost every one who has paid any attention:to , the subject is familiar with all the argu ments pro and con, on this , question. It <could not be;expected that anything new could be said on the one side or the other. All the arguments : on both sides were only old sayings in a new form. The discussion, although warm at times, was of the most ' fraternal character. No. one lost his tem per, nor was anything offensive said by the speakers on either side. The audience scorned to z quite delighted, and many of them scan. wledged that they had got new light on t . e subject. At a late hour the Convention adjourned to meet on Thurs slay morni . g at half-past eight o'clock. Immedia • ly alter assembling on Thurs day mor, . ing . the Convention spent some rim: in exercises of devo tion, and then resumed the dis cussion o the Psalmody question. The Presid nt very properly decided that speakers ust confine themselves to the arnendmen before the hedge, and not dis cuss the ge . eral subject,' After the propo sal of man amendments and much dis cussion, t e following substitute was adopted, o. y two votint in the negative; : "The : .. k of Psalms,, which is of divine inspiration is well adapted to the state of the Chur . in all ages grid circumstances, and shoal . be used in the worship of God. Therefore, ve recommend - that a new' and faithful versibn of the Psalms be provided as soon list practicable; to which may be it added a f 'thfnl translation of such other portions o the Word of:God as may be suitable tter of praise; which book, when pre red and adopted, shall be the Psalmody f the Church." The th in resolution 'of the report was then take up, when a lengthened "con ference" v. had on the subject of secret societies. t was contended that secret, oath-hound societies are-incompatible with republican institution.% subversive of Christian life, and that the Government should tolerate no secret society except that of a military character, and which is under its own control. Secret societies found no mercy in the Agsembly. There was no one to speak a word in their behalf. No formal action was taken on the subject. The whole report, as amended. has been adopted. The Clerk was instructed to publish an official account of the proceedings in the United Presbyterian, Christian Herald,. American Presbyterian and Presbyterian Banner. The Convention then adjourned, finally, with prayer by Rev. Dr. Douglas. ' The Convention was large, but not as large as the good people of Youngstown ex pected. Much interest was taken in the proceedings, and the general impression was that the Convention had done much good. After comparing litotes it was found, as the almost unanimous adoption of the resolutions indicated, that there is not any thing of great importance to keep the churches represented apart much longer.

'venal exive- Seldom, if ever before,. has a Pittsburgh audience been favored with so grand a musical offering, and whosoever missed the occasion of last evening denrived himself of rare entertainment. There were on,the stage some siXtY. ladies and gentlemen, each 'the nossessofof it sweet and:cultured voice, and all trained to sing in .marvellous har mony with each other. This was an array of amateur home taltn` of, which.we are justly proud. and it spoke volumes in praise of the refinement and culture of our people: The powerful chorus was ravish ingly grand, while the duets, solos and trios were as sweet morsels of musical food as the most correct taste could desire. We cannot speak in too high terms of ,praise of M'lle de Lussan, the fa mous New York soprano, who nobly sustained the highest nationalreputation as a sweet and finished vocalist. _ She has wonderful powers 'of vocalization. Her voice is rich, nielloW, full and, sweet, and under such perfect control that the most difficult passages and - tenderest gems lose none of their force or beauty in her rendi tions. Miss Dihm, Miss Itinehtut, Miss Yoder, Miss Porter, Mies Henne, Miss Mo- Candless, Miss Benham, and Messrs. Zim merman,•Bussman, Breed, Edwards, and the many 'Other performers who joined in this grand interpretation of Rossini, acquit ted themselves in splendid manner, and the audience' retired delighted with the en tertainment. Prof. Tetedoux has reason to congratulate himself on the success he achieved last evening at the Academy. To night the second concert will be given, whenlki'lle. de Lumen will appear for the last time in this city, and when a rare pro gramme. embracing the names of many of our most talented home amateurs, will be, offered.
