Tho comet Lias practically left us. 1t will still e visible, by theald of the teloscopo, to sé- tronomers ; but as o popular exhibition it is no move, It has gathored streugth in the northern heavons for the past threo months, and will be intrineically brighter than now o few days henco, but will sliine o us only in compotition with the sunlight.

To-night tho hend (nuclous) will set at 9 hours 85 min- putes, and it will “rise to-morrow morning at 2 Bours 62 minutes, being nearly 63§ hours be- low our horizon. Partivs who live in tho country, where the nir 18 pure all the way down to the horizon, may seo tho heud after dark to-night aud to-marrow night; but to city dwallers the viow will probably bo ob- geured by tho clouds of smoke that ulways o'er- whadow us.

We phull then know whother it iu moviug in a parabolio orbit, never to roturn to us, or whothor it wall buve ‘s mensurable period arouud our aun. In tho last case it may pozsibly prove to bo the wamo comet that way obsorved in Olina in 1737, 'I'ho nutnorous spectroscople obsorvations that Bave beon wudo of this comet all point to the conelusion that it is composed of oleflunt gas, witteh 1s 0 compound of cqual mensures of car- bon and bydrogen.

AMITY CHUROH. A Council of Bsptist ministors nnd laymon, callod by the Rev. Florenco MoCarthy, of Amity Church, for the purpose of obtaining regogni- tlon and fellowship for Amity Church and its ! pastor, was leld yestordsy afternoon in Mar- tine's Mall. It will bo remombored that the Rev. Tloronce McCarthy wes @oposed from. the min- intry by & Counoll whoso scasions wers hold at tho Unfon Park Ctinveh, of which Mr. McCOarthy 1nd hoou for :tome timo the spiritusl hond. Upon the finding of the Council, lis friends gathored sround him, and roligious sorvices woro Leld " onch Sunday, aud AMITY CRORCR was organized, with My, McCarthy an Its pastor. Owing to \is doposition from tho minlatry, his church was outsido tho Baptist donomination, a4 ‘much as though its mombors were Roman Ca'ihotivs, and muat romaln 8o uwless three or mpee of the city churchos of the olty could bo raliad upon to fellowship and recognizo the Amity pouplo. Accordingly, roquents wors sont o tito Mighlgan Avonuo, Tomple, Wostorn Aveun, Taborinclo, and Providonca Churohou that they wonld SEND REPRESENTATIVES TO TIIT COUNCIL. But fow camo, as Mr. McCarthy romarked, bo- cause tho recogition of a sister church was not 80 pleasant or attractive porformanco a8 it way t0 cut off & mintstor's hoad. 'Thp only represent- atives prosont woro thoso from tho Bwodish, Tom- plo, and Michignu Avouto Churohes, 1f was nn- derstood that tho tov. Mr. Gordon would like ta Do_ prosont, but lus chiuroh wera too much di- wided on tho quostion to ronder anything liko ‘harmonious action possible. TIE REV, 31, REICHENDACH, of the Tabarnaole Ohureb, called tho Connoil to ordor, and nominated tho v, Mr. Itaviin us Modorator. o was choson, and Mr. Baker, of tho Michlgan Avenuo Ohurch, was olooted Soo- retary, Ar, Relohonbach lad in prayer, after which Mr, McCarthy resd o lottor from Amity Chureh, ‘ombodying a copy of the copstitution adontod.

THE LATE COUNCIL, Thera bolng no othar bueiness to bo done, Mr. Reichenbach offerod Lho following : Wicrnras, It fn o mattor of comuion report and XYnowledgo fo_tbis Council sud to this whole commut- ity thut w Council was held at the Unlon Park Church in thin city, sovoral months ago, which doposed, ar preteuded 1o dopote, tho Rav, Tlorence McCarthy from tho miulatry 3 nind Witzryas, There 18 reason to beliovo thnt the action of sald Cotinoli wsa informal snd unjust ton degree unprecoduntod n tho Baptist denomination ; there- fore, v Tesolval, TURL the Councll advire Drother Me- Carthy ind fhe Amity Baptiat Chureh to convone a Cow at some future duy to fnquire into theae fr- Togularities, and to settlo Brollier McCarthy's atatus in tho Baptlst minfutry and deoniniution. Mr. Manning, of the Templo Church, ox- prosucd tho viaw that this was not a matter which could properly come befora this Council, which was called simply to conmdor the question of rocognition. He would therefore move to Iny the reeolution on the table, Mr, Roichonbuch said ho would profor to with- drayw tho resolution, and did so. Mr. Ravlin said he hoped no attempt would be raado to raisa the quontion of the old Council. e wan hoartily sick and tired of it. Suehk_san aation was not nocossery in ordor to sottl Mr, MeCarthy's stonding. ¢ Mr, McCarthy #aid o wonld nob pross the matter, aud was ghul jt was withdrawn, The Council adjourncd until Buuday next at 4:30 p. . 4 gt PROF. PATTON. Our yesterdny morning's issuo stated that it 'was fonred that Prof, Patton would bo compoll- od to givo up his position at the Seminary on ac- count of his recent illnews. We can state this morning, on the authority of Judge Mooro, of tho Suparior Court, who ia Chairman of tho Ex- ecutive Committea of the Beminary, and who has boon connectod therowith for the pass four or five yonrs, that tho friends of this institution confldently oxpect that Prof. Patton will bo roady to resume his position at the oponing of tho noxt Sominary yesr; itis true that ho hag been ill, and that his ilinoss was caused by overwork ; mow bo is improving rapidly aud, for the thme being, bo will abatain from all lobor. All of hin appointments for preaching have been withdraws, and his {rionds are suuguine that with the needed rest ho will bo fully restored to Lioalth, I¢ is expeetod that the noxt sominary yoar will open with & full corps of Professors. 'In 1870, with oll the then four chaivs -full, there wore thirty-ono studonts in attondnuce. In 1871 the cluit of Theology was vacunt, nnd Dr, Pren- tiss had been elected to fill it, and was expectod to mceopt of tho position, Iu consaquence of such oxpectation thoro was au incrense in the numbor of students, and tho ctalogma shows thirty-goven in attend- ance that yeur; bub tho fifo came, and Dr. Yrontiss fafled thom, snd tho ohalr of Theology Tomnined vacant, In contequenco thoroof, tho next_yesr, 1872, the Juwior closs—all of the mombors 'of which were new studeuts—cons taived only three, 'That Junior cluss was the one that graduated ab the end of the recent seminary yoar, and bad mcronsed to six. This iuerensa isnnusunl, since theiuerezyo in the num- ‘bors of studonts is_gencrally in the middie and Junior clusses. In 1873 tho Junior class numbered twolve, and 1874 about tho sume, " Prof, Patton's tirst your in tho Suminary was 1879, and thera has beon for the lust two yonrs a gradual iucronse in the numbor of studentn, "Llo prospuct for tho noxt yonr is buttor than for any provious yoar.

QIIECTIONE THERETO. AT, Campboll, wlien the Jury-panel was rend, askod why tho othor sldo objocted to tho impan- olmont of a jury, Mr. Ishami, in roply, read the ntatutes govern= ing tho jurisdiction of the County Court. He bolioved that tho issuo bofore the Court was not ano, that called for a jury trnl. Btatutory law bad’ exprosly conforod upon the County Court tho right to adwit’ a will to pro- bate. It was in the power of tho Oourt to decida upon tho logal oxistence of the panel, In all the law creating the jurlsdiotion of the Court tliero was 1o referonca—no mntorinl roferenco— to a jury for tho trislof & case suchns that pond- ing Lefore the tribunul, ‘Phe statutory provision pormitting the contost of wills, and providing Tor & bill an chancory, would seam to fmply ox- presaly that 1o jury was contomplated in a courb of probate, If the Court permitted the impanel- ing of » jury under such cironmutunces, it wotld ba'n virsual repeat of the statutary provisions alieady alludod to, and would ~ cortainly loud to unpleaeant’ complications iu the machinory of the law.
