The church was crowded to overflowing, and the manner of conducting the ceremonies was highly interesting and im- ressive. Rey. Dr. Teasdale announced as is theme the prompt answer of Peter to the earnest dngairy of the anxious thousands on the day of Pentecost, viz: “« Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ” He discoursed ably and elo- quently on the institution, nature, and design, and the true legitimate form of observing the ordinance of baptism. He cited from differ- ent and various distinguished church histo- rians (pedo baptists) in proof of the fact that immerson had been observed, generally, for thirteen hundred years after Christ, and that it was since that period only that new and other modes had mn practiced. He read from the journal of John Wesley to show that he approved and practiced the form of immer- sion; quoting aleo from Luther, Calvin, &., to suetain his view. He was listened to with deep and marked attention, as the bigh logical merits of his effort deserved. At the close of the address, and after the administration of baptism, the righthand of fellowship was ex- day. Mr Fitspatrick thought that the Board had no right to authorise such a board to increase mc: r. Magruder crpaned that that portion of the bill was copied versatimtrom a previous law. Mr. M, at some length, argued to show that many errors had been made by the Secre tary of the Board of Assessors, in transcribing, which required correction to secure justice to the tax payers of the city. He mentioned half-a-dozen particular cases. There were complaints of enormous and exorbitant assess- ments, which should belooked into He con- ceived, further, that such a board should act before the finance committee could under- standingly report on the project for decreasing taxation in the city generally Mr. M. also expressed his willingness to strike out the word “increase.” Mr. Reed held that it would be improper so to do; as, according to Mr. M. der’s show- img. it was clear that so.ve of the assessments ao = — =~ | for six or eight carriages.
