The committee though t j their preseut pay was inadequate. The bill passed committee of the whole; and coming up on second reading. Mr. Kt'NKLl moved to amend, to in- crease Uic salaries of all the Judges of the courts of Common Piers who receive now $1,00 to $2,000. Mr. Crabb opposed the whole scheme aud expressed his disapprobation of this everlasting tinkering with the salaries of the Judges. When the Judges accepted their nominations for the position, and electioneered for their election, they knew what their salaries were to be. Why, he asked, not as well increase the salaries of the Governor, Heads of Departments, and members of the Legislature 1 He argued at length against the proposition, and de clared his determination to vote against it, if it be the only vote thus cast. Mr. O'Xeili. moved an amendment, to incrcase the salaries of all law Judges who now receive 51,G0O to $2,000; thoso who recieve $2,500 to S2,900; and Mr. Darsie moved to add to increase the salaries of the Judges of the District and CommonfPlcas Courts of Allegheny county to 82,500. Tho bill was postponed for the present. In the House, a large number of peti tions was presented, of a local nature chiefly. The bill to incorporate the Erie City Bank, passed committee of tbe whole by a close vote. Lecture, bt Dr. Elder. This eve ning, at the Court House, Dr. Wm.

He has a high, open forehead, bis nose is long and uqui line and his chin prominent. He is very calm and quiet in his manner. I was struck with bis first prayer- It was long, but was simple, clear and explicit. He seemed to be perfectly familiar with the ordinary scenes and duties, cares and wants of every day life, and to make this knowl edge available in leading the petitions of his large and diversified congregation. It has seldom been my lot to bear one who was so clear and direct. There were very few present, I should think, who did not feel that some confession expressed their state, and that some petition embodied their wants, and embodied it so that they I C0U1J DOt help feeling that they themselves were brought into tbe presence of Ood. I was fully prepared from this to expect a very plain and very practical sermon, nor was I disappointed. He has very little action, yet there is no want of earuest- j ness. You foci from the very effort which he makes to meet the various circumstan ces of his congregation, and to point out their dangers and duties, that ho is in ear nest. You see aud feci that be earnestly wishes them to be wiser and more godly and that therefore be speaks. I was very much interested indeed in his discourse. The singing was all congregational. The leader sat in the little desk beneath the pulpit, and cave out a stanra, which 1 wa8 sung, and then a second given out and I m t0 the end.
