FABER, No 1 News NEW YORK, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 14, 1844. The Philadelphia Riots. Avrams IN PaitapeLrura.—There now appears to be an armed neutrality in Philadelphia ; the city | is completely garrisoned and very quiet. __ [From Philadelphia Gaze'te, May 13. Tux Crvy.—Our city presents the aspect of a garrison- edtown. The military are seen at all pointe, quiet, or- bo A bat rent ‘he old irard Banking House i the Place D’Arms. There have been few inatances of dis- turbances; none,that we hear of, that seemed to belong to the proceedings of the “three days,” but it is probable that the military force, and tl military determina- tion arrived aton Wednesday morning, roduced this tranquility. Whatever may hav roduced it, we hope it is to be permanent. ‘The sight of soldiers on duty in parts of our city. is painful, and one that we have no Wish to see the people familiar with. ‘They are now the ministers ef peace and order, and most faith{ull; they execute their functions ; but when Jong maintained in service, the citizen soldiers become the reguler army, and that is the means by which anarchy Is changed into tyranny. ohne ore —We saw, on Saturday, the ruins in Ken- sington, the blackened, crumbled walls of the Church, of the School House, and of Lepag very many dwelling houses, that the passions of men had doomed to destruc: tion. The heart sickens at such exhibitions, and inquires for;the justice of man, that allowed of such unlawful, un- raly violence ; or the justice of Heaven, which seemed to sleep amid the wrong doings of the wicked, both when the murders were committed and the property wasted. We learned nothing there to answer that inquiry, but, re- turning by the way of 4th st, we went up and stood amid the smouldering ruins of St, Augustine’s, and when we re- newed our inquiry, our eye rested on the uppermost por- tion of the opposite wall. trom which the fire had peeled every particle of plastering, and licked off the decorative int; but, as if in defiance of the wrath of man, and the fury of the flames, there stood, in clear uninjured letters, the inscription—"The Lord Seeth.” And we turned away watisfied in our heart, and exclaiming, in qutet submis- sion, ‘Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (From the Spirit of the Times, May 13.) ‘Tuovonts von tHe Peorie.—All was quiet in our city yesterday. It wasa strange thing, however, to see the lilitary promenading our streets on the Sabbath, but still stranger to feel that their presence was necessary to the maintenance of the public peace !_ Into all the churches as the chiming bells pealed out their solema tones, poure crowd after crowd of citizens to give thanks, pe the Deity for their sefety. all the church should have said, ezeepting—the Roman Catholic. They tood desolate, silent and untenanted. In obedience to the orders of the Bishop they. were not opened for public wor. ship The solitary tread of the sentinel, or the clank of the musket, was the only sound that disturbed their soli- tary repose, And this was a Sabbath picture of the “City of Brotherly Love!” This wasa picture of the “ Quaker” city! Could William Penn have risen from his grave and looked at auch a scene ; could he have gazed on the bristling bay 0- nets, that offended the quiet eye in almost every direction ; could he have been told that thie pomp and panoply of wir were necessary to secure the liberty of rel gious SoltRS i that here, on this very spot where he had planted the Christian banner, which he had made the asylum of the persecuted for opinion’s sake, and had peculiarly conse- crated to Religious Freedom, could he have been told that here all this exhibition of military force was required simply to enable men to exercise one of the inalienable privileges of humanity, to worship God according to the ictates of their own consciences, what that great and good man would have seid we leave the reader to imagine. He. could not have credited the evidence of his senses, He could not have believed hisdescendants so monstrously degenerated. He could not have dreamed for a mement that the people of his own Christian city would ever prac- tice that bigotted intolerance to engane from which he himself abandoned his country, his kindred and his hom and as an undying monument of his abhorrence of which he founded the community in which we live. .. Yesterday morning, the Ist Regiment City Volunteers, the Marines and Sailors of the Princeton, under Captain Stockton, and the Dauphin Guards, paraded.and marched to the different Catholic churches in the city, on a tour of observation, and on their return to Head Quarters about noon, made an imposing demonstration in Chesnut street. In the evening, at 6} o’clock, the Sailors and Marines and the Frat State Troup, with Generale Cadwallader and Roumfort and Staff, paraded and marched from HeedQuar- ters on another tour of observation. Yesterday afternoon between one and two o'clock a fire bell western direction was rung, and several of the fire companies turned out. The alarm was a false one, and the military and police remonstrated with the firemen and indnced most of them to return with their appa- ratus to their houses. About two o'clock, a drunken man named Jord, who was conducting himself in a sedi- tious manner at the corner of Fifth and Chesnut streets, wae arrested by Captain Bennett of the watch. ‘The Wee. cacos Hose Carriage manned by rowdies, some of whom were said to be members of the Chesapeake Fire Com. pany of Baltimore, was passing down Filth strest at this ‘ime, and Ford was rescued. He ran to the corner of Fifth and Walnut, and seizing the tongue of the hose carriage, urged the rioters who had holdof the rope to puss a cor- don of soldiers composed of the City Guards, and Mechi nic Ril the corner of Fifth and Prune streets. He was again made prisoner by Capt. Bennett and taken to the Mayor's office under a guard of soldiers and locked up. The rioters, in att ing to break through the chain of military were charged upon, their carriege captured, and they put to preeipitate and helter--kelter Aight with facex as white as sheets, None of them would return to carry the carriage away, and it was brought to the police otlice hy Alderman Hay, aud some of the most respectable ci- tuzens of Dock ward attached to the Betoe police ofthat ward, and deposited in the court of the east wing of the State House Row. The reserve at head quarters marched to this point, but their services were not required. A committee of the Weccacoe Company waited upon the mejor general and made an explanation, signifying the determination of the Weccacoe to comply with all orders of the military, and to neither participate in, nor eountenance any riotous pro- ceedings. rst City The marines, sailors, Dauphin Guards, and F! Troop have formed the reserve at head quarters. ‘The First City Troop paraded at head quarters yester- aay afternoon at 5 o'clock ‘esterday, thousands of persons visited the burnt dis- trict in Kensington, and throughout the day the streets were full of people. Gen. Roumfort and staff, escorted by the First State Troop, arrived at head quarters at 6 o’clock, ani reported everything quiet in Kensington and Spring Garden, ‘There was a rumor that aman had been shot by order of Gen. Roumfort, in Kensington, but there was no truth in it, The crew of the Princeton returned to the ship at the navy yard last night at nine o'clock. ‘The surgoons request that in case of any illness of the troops they may be sent for, as their services to the troops are gratis. In case of any ition, report must be made at Head Quarters to insure attention ‘The names of the surgeons are—Profestor Homer, Surgeon-in-Chie: C. Bunting, M. D., and Alex. Hart, M.

P.M. ? 3th of May, 1844. 5 Goenerat Ordera, No. 19—The Major General eta his cordial thanks to the armed citizen guards of the dif- ferent wards for the promptaess and fidelity with which they have performed the duties assigned them. It is be- lieved that the uniform volunteer corps of the Division are sufficient to preserve order within its bounds. The Major General, therefore, deems it unnecessary to require the citizen guards to parade every evening and remain under arms during the night, satisfied, that when their services are required, they will be cheerfully rendered, He re- quests that they will retain their organization, and that the commander of each corps will report his name and re- sidence at Head Quarters, and be prepared to goon duty if required. ‘The Dauphin Guards, Lieut. Watson, will be relieved at 4o'clock, A. M., and are permitted to return to their homes, with the thanks of tne Major General for their good conduct while under his command ‘The Volunteers of the Division will parade at 6 o'clock this afternoon, and foccupy the position held yesterday ion. Cadwalader will post @ company at or near Spruce street and Schuylkill Third street, and a eompany at or near Race and Schaylkill Fifth street. By command of Major General Patterson. Jon Mit ~Sunpay’s Proceentvcs.—We took a stroll through the fected part of Kensington district yesterday, and quiet- ly contemplated the vast destruction.

The devastation in the immediate neighborhood of the market house is very great. In spots, blocks of ground, cleared of every thing, are to be seen ; on them, but a few days since, stood houxes, occupied by’ large though poor thmilies. The fallen fragments of chimneys are occasion: ully presented to the view, but other evidences of the riot ave not visible.

In front of Alderman Hugh Clark's house an in Fourth street, we noticed persons busily employed in hunting up relics of the devastation, selecting out ofticial ing them off as mementos of the oc- casion.

It set forth the objects of the Society, which were—the colonization and evangeli- zation of Africa, through the instrumentality of mis- sionary labor, and respectfully tendered to Bishop Soule membership in the association. Some members remarked that it should be retorred to the Committee on Fpiscopacy—some that Conference should at once decide sigan At—others were of opinion that it should rest with the Bishop himself, in whom full con- fidence was reposed by the Conference, that his conduct would be the wieest and most discreet in the matter. ‘The President again arose to explain. He was quite re. conciled to whatever coursy they should take, us he had no choice of his own, He had, however, a little delicacy in presenting the docum it might seem to some that hofiad been secking foreign alliances, when he was on his lite European tour. He only wished to assure them that the very firet intimation he had of the matter, was the reception of the document while he way on hi ciul tour, and knew nothing of how his name came before the French lnstitution The Constitution of the Society which aecompanied the document, contained « Jong list of the kings and queens and great men, including that of Daniel Webster, who were enrolled in the Society ; and he felt it due to mention that a connection with the Society would obtain the means of knowing the proceedings of the Society in relation to missionary labour in Africa, which could not fail to be of service and value here. Dr. Carens thonght that the best way would be to let it rest With the bishop himselt, and moved to that eitect. Measrs. Eanty, Ssurit, and some others, made some ob: servations in reference to the motion, in the course of which Dr. Carxas assured the Conference that in making hix proposal, he had no wish to propose anything disrespect- fal to the Bishop. Bisnor Sovrx —Oh, not at all, sir; 1 am aware of that, I consider myself sustaining a very responsible position iu relation to this body, as Bishop of the M. E. Church of the United States, and as a Methodist preacher regularly sociated. Ido not hold myself at liberty in the present instaxice to enter into, or become a member of any associa. tion out of the church—-neither of Free Masons, or Odd Fellows, or any of these associations. Laughter.) 1 speak sentimentally, 1 have, theretore, laid this before you ; you have seen it, and you know the only object 1 dtould have, I will esteem ita honor, as | will be asko- ciated with many great men, Protestant and Catholic, us well 4s be put iti possession of many important matters, of the movements and doings of this association with respect to Africa ; but 1 have no other object ia the world than to ask the opinion of this Conference. Amemher proposed that the whole documents should ‘0 before a select committee, who would, by examining the constitution, be able to judge whether the African Society bad in contemplation any interference with Ameri can slavery, or confined itself to Africa, as in case they intended interference with American slavery, it would be the wish of the Confereuce to keep the Bishop out of the Institute—but if it confined itself to foreign slavery, they had no objectfon. ‘The whole matter was referred to the Committee on Episeopacy. A memorial was presented by the Ohio Conference re- commending the General Conference to take measure for the establishment ofa “ Home Colonization Society,’ whose objects should be to procure a territory in some part ofthe United States, to serve as a home for all ne- groes who should be set free, and to use every means they could to procure the emancipation of negroes by wait: pon slaveholders; to devise the best. means of procuring, the emancipation; to raise funds for the purchase of a ter- ritory, and apply the surplus to the liberation of slaves, &c. &c. Reterred to the Committee on Slavery. Mr. presented an address from Indiana on slavery, npon which he would have refrained from making any remarke, were it not for certain ungracious remarks which had been made, that that anti-slavery address ha beenigot up by preachers. That was not the case, for it was well known that their body is against all action on the slavery question, although itiere was an increasing feeling on the subject spreading amongst. them, and preachers did not interfere in such petitions on slavery. Mr. Mitcuest, of the Rock River delegation, presented a petition to the Conference praying that they should raise a collection among themselves tor the purpose of building a chapel at Milwaukie, in the territory of Wisconsin. (Laughter) Mr. M. e at some length, stating the need and urgent demand the brethren of wie stood in—the importance of the locality—the strong opposition onthe part of papists, arcity of money among the faithful, for all which reasons they appealed confidently to the General Conference for aid. Many members objected to the application, and one or two amendments were moved, when Mr. Mrrenets observed that if members were unwilling to contribute, they should say so with candor and put the proposal down with a direct vote, and fairly and hon- eatly ; not by proposing riders to the resolution proporad. A member sibmitted that, as (he duty then before Conference was of a specific nature, different from the memorial in qaestion, which was an application to their individual liberality, the motion was not in order. ‘The Paesinser was of opinion that many things were entertained by ther, which, in other deliberative bodies, would be out of order ; he was of opinion th riet ree ard to order woul exclude all these resolutions which the brethren of Milwaukie proposed for their adoption. It was then moved that the whole matter be left on the table. Passed Mr. Mivcnent (in reply to an observation that the mo- tion did not debar him from applying to members of Con- ference in their private capacity,) observed that if any of of his brethren felt any compunrtious visitings on account ot the vote they had given, they would move fora reconsideration ; as for the delegates, they would drop the matter the: A Voiwr—Thi do. A memorial was presented from St. Louis, praying that the next General Conference should be held at that city, ‘The Secretary was interrupted inthe reading of the do. cument by a motion that the reading be dispensed-with, and a second motion that it be left on the table, Adopted: Mr. Wore offered an address from M. ippi on Ma Referred. Mr. Davis tendered the memorial of Wm. Houston, of Baltimore, to the General Conference, praying the action of the body upon a case at which he was at issue with the Baltimore Conference. It stated that a memorial had been sent by him to that body onthe subject of his suspension, but that they had neglected to entertain it in a proper way, but had Jeft it laying on the table for four years, thereby depriving him of the remedy prescribed by the laws of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which expressly declared that an appeal lay to the next General Confer- ence in cases such as his. ‘Ie considered the conduct of the Conference 98 illegally depriving him of his privileges aaa preacher—degrading and ostracising him before the world. Ie protested against it as inconsiderate, and us unfair ia condemning him without the opportunity of ma- king a defence, or furnishing him with the names of his or witnesses against him, ng of unwillingness to entertain the case was manifested, and a desultory sort of discussion wax carried on for some time, when Dr. Sticen said it would be wrong to give this case the go-bye, a8 they would only have it up again in 1948, as Mr. Hi. was the emartest hand for holding on they could meet with. He was for meeting the case fairly, He did not pretend to say that the decisionfof the fimore Confe- rence would be reversed ; but whatever might be the sult of an inquiry, he was the advocate of fair play in the premises, ‘The case was then referred. Mr. Davis, of Baltimore, called the attention of the meeting to Dr. Waller's memorial, which it would be re- collectedMwes placed before the Conference some time ago. Dr. Waller was now inthe city, and wished to come elore the committee to whom the memorial had been re- ferred, and he arose on the part of the committee to ob- y will not be true to their trust, if they Dr. Lucky objected toites net agreeable with general e. rofessor Dennis observed that if the remarks of Dr. Lucky were correct, they pnt an end to the matter ot once. It was his opinion, however, that an appeal did not lie to the General Conference. Dr. Surenx submitted that a# the committee ponsessed power to summon persona before it and procure papers, there was no need of instructions to them in the cage, and that Conference would only get into trouble by departing from regular parliamentary usage. It was then moved that the Committee appointed to hear the caseof Dr Waller, be entitled to procure papers and summon persons before it. Adopted. The Rey. Dr Lyte, of the Hpiscopal Church, was p sented to the Conference. Dr. Lyle made a short and ap- propriate address, expressive of his regard and love for the Methodist body; that the name of py her was dear to him, for it was by the mentality of one of that sect that his religions feelings were awakened, Professor Dewnin moved that every member of Conter. ence who possessed any documents intended tobe laid before Committees, should do so atonce. He said, that ag a member of a committee, he felt embarrassed for want of papers and documents which were in the possession of members. Mr, Luexy added an amendment to the motion, that no memorials or addre ihould be received after thin week. ‘The motion was adopted. Mr. Evane moved the order of the day, which was to bring np the appeal of Bradford Flaza from the decision of the Michigan Conference suspending him without his consent. The ext said, that in this case an important function of Conference was to be exercised ; no less than a proper exposition of their laws as bearing'on this case He was there, but as their organ,not to expound the laws, but to see that their construction, when declared, carried into etlect. He recommended them to gi tion to the matter, as one of gi A debate ensued on the admissibility of this Conference. There was a considerable ditference of opinion on the construction of the law bearing on the urnment. pee and no deciaion was come to up to the time of ad- jo Common Council.
