The late Eurcpean intelligence brought by the steamship Arctic, of which a comprehensive sum- mary is elsewhere given, is very interesting. The quotations for cotton were maintained with a ten- dency to advance. There had been no change in breadstuffs, or other articles of commerce, worthy of particular note. Mr. Soule’s appointment appears to have created considerable commotion in Spain. It will be perceived by the report of the proceed_ ings of the Legislature, as well as the very interest- ing letter from our special correspondent, that mat- ters and things begin to assume a shape from which . it may be inferred that the extra session may be brought to a close rather earlier than anticipated. The canal question is likely soon to be disposed of. Bythe proceedings of the Assembly it will be seen that the final vote is to be taken on Wednesday next. Wesee also that Mr. Hadley has offered an amendment to the Senate resolutions, with the design, doubtless, of allay- ing the disagreement which existed. The opponents ofthe Vanderbilt scheme allege that it in substance recognizes the existence of the fraudulent contracts which the lobby obtained under the law of 1851. Mr. V., however, disclaims any such intentions, as the decision of the Court of Appeals annuls all mat- ters relating to those contracts, from the day the de- ¢ision was announced. Still, in order that there may not be even any technical excuse, Mr, Hadley proposes to insert in the amendment in the constita- tion a provision, plain, intelligible, and unequivocal. Mr. H. belongs to the majority of the house, and goes all reasonable lengths, with Mr. Loomis and those who think with him; but being a sin- cere friend of the enlargement, he wishes the work accomplished in the shortest possible time. He believes that the Senate plan will work well, and, with the addition which he proposes, will vote for it. This being the case, a majority in the Assembly may, on or before Wednesday, unite upon the proposition he proposes. Should such harmonious action prevail in the House, there is lit- tle reason to doubt that the Senate will at once adopt the compromise, and thus put to rest a ques- tion that has been productive of more excitement in our State Legislature than any other that ever came up. By adopting Mr. Hadley’s amendment, they would merely enact a proposition which nearly every Senator has, over and over again, conceded to be correct and proper. Shall we have a respite upon this canal quarrelling, or are there individuals in the Legislature who desire to keep the people longer in a stateofexcitement? We shall see. The most important feature of the news furnished by our special and other Washington correspondents to-day, is the announcement that the jury in the Gardner case, being still unable to agree, were yes- terday dismissed. They stood during the whole time they were out, it is reported, nine for acquittal, and three for conviction. Thus, after two years’ litigation, and after the spending of a vast sum of money by the government to carry on the suit, we find that all that has been hitherto done, has been of no avail. With the exception of the movements of the outgoing and incoming clerks in the departments, there seems to be little stirring in the shape of politics in Wash- ington. it is said that as soon as the President and his cabinet have succeeded in dispesing of all the Offices, théy will be able to give more attention to the subject of our foreign relations, which have been quite neglected until within a few days past. The author of the extraordinary eulogy on the govern- ment of Russia, published ia the Union a short time ago, has acknowledzed the deed, as will be seen by the despatch from “Sentinel.” He is not a member ofthe Cabinet, as was insinuated by some editors who supposed the Union to be the organ of the ad- ministration. Attention is directed to the speech of Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, which we to-day publish in full. Ag ‘# is the first whig blast upon Gen. Pierce's adminis- tration, it will no doubt be read with great interest by all classes of politicians. ‘The summing up in the case of Jane Trainer, the colored child, was concluded yesterday. The Judge will give his decision on Monday morning, and it is anxiously looked for, by botia abolitionists and Union men. Though the issue has nothing to do with the question of slavery—the party in dispute being a free colored girl—it has created an unusual degree of excitement. Mr. George H. E. Lynch, one of the deputy clerks of the Superior Court, was yesterday promoted to the clerkship vacant by the death of Mr. Campbell, the late clerk. Housekeepers generally cannot but be highly gratified at the large quantities of breadstuffs flowing into the Atlantic cities from the West, via Baffalo and Albany. By our despatch, it will be seen that no less than ten thousand barrels of flour and aa many bushels of wheat, twenty-two thousand bushels of corn and nearly double that amount of oats, were received in Buffalo alone, yesterday—being almost mafficient to fill the vacuum created in the stores by the day’s sales in this city. The number of deaths in the city during the past week, according to the report of the City Inspector, ‘was 528, which is an increase of twenty-foar on the mortality of tle prcvious week. There were fifty Metal cases of consump‘ion, twenty-nine of cunvul- sions, twenty-four of inflamnstion of the jungs, thirteen of marismus,eleven of apoplexy, and ten of small pox, We arejglad to learn that the Jast named disease, which bas been very prevalent during the last two or three months, is at presenton the de crease. The excess of mortality, as usual, was among children under ten years of age, the number of deaths being 1¢8. Our inside pages to-day contain an article from the London Chronicle, reviewing the relations be- tween the United States, Mex co, and Central Ame- rica; the Speech of Kossuth on Shakspeare; the Eng- lish Chancellor before a London Police Coart ; very interesting letter from Mr. Barnard, relative to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec; an article upon the subject of American Naval Supremacy; communication con- cerning a Central Park; Religious Intelligence; Court Proceedings; Financial and Commercial Reviews, &. The New Mexico Boundary Dispute—Santa Anna—A Fine Opening for a Great and Com- prebensive Treaty. It is now well understood that, notwithstand- ing the expulsion of Governor Lane from the executive chair of the adobe palace of the Governor of New Mexico, the administration will hold to his claim of the Mesilla territory. This disputed district, as our readers have by this have been pretty well informed» is some thirty-four miles wide, north and south, by one hundred and thirty-five miles, more or less, in length, east and west. It is not quite as large as the little empire of New Jersey, nor quite so fertile; but if it were a desert waste it would not materially affect the issue of the national jurisdiction to which it rightly belongs under the treaty. The President and his cabinet, it is under- stood, intend to insist upon the line of Mr. Surveyor Gray, which throws the aforesaid ter- ritory into the United States; while the Mexi- cans, from the military movements of Gov, Trias, of Chihuahua, appear to be as firmly re- solved upon maintaining the line of Commis- sioner Bartlett, by which this Mesilla territory is thrown over to the Mexican side. And whether Mr. Commissioner Bartlett has made a geographical blunder in adopting an astronomi- cal point of latitude for this line instead of the arbitrary locality designated by the treaty on Disturnell’s map of 1847, or whether Governor Lane, Surveyer Gray, Col. Weller, and the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations have been guilty ofa mistake, has now become a secondary question. We did suspect. and still do, that the proclamation of Gov. Lane, assuming jurisdiction in behalf of the United States over the disputed district, was a fillibustering proclamation, intended more to curry favor with the new administra- tion than to maintain our rights to our rightful soil. In this view, and under the impression that Mr. Commissioner Bartlett understood his business, and that, as an American, he would hold to all the land that was justly ours by the treaty. we have also been suspicious that “the hue and cry” raised against his boundary was a trick of the fillibusterers to give a larger field of operations for Caravajal and company along our Mexican frontiers. But whether } right or wrong. with the understanding that the administration repudiates Mr. Bartlett's line and plants itself upon that of Mr. Gray, the question as to which is and which is not the treaty line becomes a secondary consi- deration. The President of the United States claims, in their behalf. the disputed territory. Mexico claims it. The treaty provides for the settle- ment ofall its boundary difficulties by arbi- tration. But the first and paramount question now is: will Santa Anna submit this territory to arbitration after the concession of a definite line by the United States Commissioner? May he not insist upon that line? Our late war with Mexico resulted from a boundary dispute between her and Texas, and from the trespass of Gen. Taylor and his troops on the Mexican side of their line. May not the occupation of the Mesilla Valley by Gov. Trias and his forces indicate the policy of Santa Anna to be of the same desperate character as that of Paredes? In connection with the very friendly relations subsisting between Santa Annaand the govern- ment of Spain and the agents and emissaries of England and France. it is very probable that the Mexican Dictator, if he sabmits to any arbitration upon this boundary at all, will only acquiesce in an arbitration of his own choosing. His late despotic penalties of ven- geance against the officers and soldiers of the Mexican army who in any degree fraternized with our forces during the late struggle, or who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of “the ruthless Yankees” as prisoners of war, betray ‘the spirit of the most implacable hos- tility to the United States of the north. The settlement of this boundary dispute, in this view of the subject, becomes a question of the high- est moment to both countries. But we regard this especial difficulty, from the warlike aspect which it thus assumes, as affording a golden opportunity for a permanent treaty of peace with Mexico upon that broad and comprehensive basis which will embrace every unsettled question of our negotiations since the treaty of 1848. We regard this boun- dary dispute as a fortunate thing for both par- ties, if our administration will only take hold of it with that enlarged sense of our foreign policy which alone will be equal to the exigen- cies of these times. There is the Tehuantepec route, which no company of our citizens can properly or satis- actorily secure without a treaty between thig government and that of Mexico—there is the important question of increased commercial ex- changes with the Mexican States upon both oceans, which may be secured by treaty—and there is the question of indemnities to Mexico for the depredations committed by the wild Indians placed under our guard by the plainest stipulations of the treaty of peace. Inaddition to these questions, we may also acquire certain privileges in building railroads, working mines, &c., in behalf of our citizens, in view of the full developement of the vast resources of industry and commerce now lying dormant all over the Mexican republic. Such are the great and com- prehensive objects which may be included in the settlement of the boundary question of New Mexico, with the exercise of proper degree of liberality and of sound discfetion on the part of Gen. Pierce and his cabinet. The Tehuantepec route, the Vera Cruz route, the frontier Indian disturbances, extended commer- cial facilities, railroad, mining and manufactur- ing privileges, upon broad and general princi- ples, may all be comprehended in the same treaty, based upon a liberal draft upon the sur plus of hard cash which is now #0 rapidly accu- mulating in our federal treasury. Santa Anna, it is true, betrays the most viru- lent and uncompromising hostility against the United States. He seems anxious rather for war than for peace—rather for widening the existing differences between the two countries than for reconciling them. But his treasury is empty, his resources are exhausted, and his army must be paid, or there is the instant hi- zard of @ revolution which may again expel him from the repnblic. A few millions for Te- huantepes, a few millions on-sceount of Indian depredations, and s few millions for an ad- dithenal slice of land, including the disputed territory. might accomplish the most beneficent results to Mexico and to us, even with Santa Amma. The time is at hand foraction. We must defeat the European intrigues in and out of Mexico, or they will defeat us. We must do ‘something to help our helpless neighbor, or they will. Weask again, is Secretary Marcy wide awake? With the arrival of Almonte at Washington, we shall expect to hear that Mexico is ready to negotiate. Let our Pre- mier be ready to receive him. st Sov.ovgve anp HI1s SPLENDID CEREMONTALS.— Should any sneering royalists of the Old World, or sceptical republicans of the New. be inclined to scoff at the pretensious arrogance of his Imperial Majesty Soulonque the First—Dei Gratia—in taking his place amongst his white brothers and sisters—as he himself designates the crowned heads of Eutope—we think that their incredulity will be dissipated by the pe- rural of the official report, translated in to-day’s Heratp. of the celebration in Port-au-Prince of the anniversary of their Majesties’ coronation, and that they will acknowledge that his most sooty Majesty has given the best prima facie evidence of his qualifications to sit within the royal circle. Two of the days of April—the 18th and 19th—was the epoch for the jubilation of the loyal Haytien subjects, and the /éte was con- ducted in the magnificent manner prescribed and practised on recent occasions in some of the imperial courts of Europe. The Emperor and Empress, and the ebony-colored princesses of the blood royal, surrounded by the high no- bility of the land—dukes, marquises, counts, and knights—and preceded by a black Norroy king-at-arms, and heralds, and porsuivants, were conducted with the greatest pomp and pageantry to the Cathedral of the capital, and there tock part in the grand ceremonial of the day. The artillery on the ramparts and forts discharged their big guns, when the solemn Je Deum was sung, and the en- thusiastic multitude answered to the rever- berations by shouts of “Vive l’Empereur.” And then, the sacred performances over, the imperial cortege made a tour of the city, only ‘stopping by the way to applaud and reward the execution of some fandangoes. danced in one of the squar®® by knots of the elated bourgeoisse —such as may be seen in New York on a Sab- bath morning, dancing for shad and mackerel at Oatherine market; and having regained the palace and taken their seats on the throne, in the saloon of State, their Majesties received the congratulations of the diplomatic bodies, and the high dignitaries of the empire; and in the evening they attended *a concert—Port-av. Prince not having as yet arrived at so high a state of fashion and wealth as to support an opera. Nor did the celebration of the great fete end here. Thenextdaya grand banquet was given in the palace, at which the Ministers of State, the high officers of the government, the most wealthy and influential of the citizens, and the consular bodies of various foreign potentates; were guests. And Softlouque did the honors right royally, and toasts were offered; and speeches made. and the representative of her Britannic Majesty paid a most glowing compli- ment to his royal mistress’ swart brother And the sayings and doings of that festival, are they not written in the official record thereof, which the Emperor commanded to be inscribed among the archives of his kingdom, and which we have caused to be truly translated by a learned scribe, “and present to-day to the uni- versal readers of the Hratp! Satu Horry w tne Fierp.—The Massa- chusetts abolitionists are down again upon slavery and the slaveholders, with unusual ear- nestness. The proceedings of the New Englard Anti-Slavery Convention, as our readers will have discovered from our copious reports, have been extraordinarily rich end spicy. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, from her reception in England, and «Uncle Tom’s” reception all over Europe, appears to have infused a lively enthusiasm into the hearts of sister co-laborers in the work of abolition in our Northern States.- Mrs. Swisshelm, Miss Lucy Stone, and Mrs. Abby Kelly Foster have suddenly waked up again with"a new zeal and a new baptism, in behalf of the great work of the extirpation of slavery, at the risk of disunion and a bloody civil war. Nor are they alone in the cause. Garrison’s Lilerator announces that “Sallie Holly, an agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery So- ciety. will lecture at West Newton, on Thurs- day evening, June 2.” Sallie is considered as something of an apostle, among the abolition ladies, of all colors, of Massachusetts, and will doubtless “astonish the dough faces of West Newton” with the enormities of our peculiar Southern institutions, Let the South remember that the Massachusetts abolitionists have opened their summer campaign; and before our Southern politicians make themselves easy with the de- lusive belief that the fugitive slave law is a “ fixed fact,”’ let them remember that abolition- ism is reviving—that Uncle Tom and the Staf- ford House Association have given new life and enthusiasm to all classes of our abolitionists, and especially to the female lecturers of Massa- chusetts. Sallie Holly is emong them. Sallie Holly has put on her harness for the campaign. Sallie Holly is in the field. Tae Navat Bureavs—An old conservative writer in the Wational Intelligencer, in plead ing the cause of those old fogies who have managed, or rather mismanaged, the business of the bureaus of the Navy Department, for the last fifty years, urges their retention in office on account of the victories achieved by them or their cotemporaries, in the last war with England. If men never got old—if their facul- ties of mind and body never became impaired by age, this would be a geod plea. But the days of Methuselah have gone by ; and in this degenerate age, a man at seventy or eighty years is generally regarded as a little weaker in the head, as well as in the legs, than men of thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty. Hence the prevailing idea that those old gentlemen who control the Navy Department are too old, too timid, too hide bound, too slow, too im. becile for the duties of their offices, in these bustling times. Sueh is our opinion; and we hope yet to see Com. Stockton’s plan of weed- ing these old chaps out upon a retired list, in full operation. We can have no efficient navy. none of the life and vigor of the war of 1812, on board ship, as long as the bureaus which control the service are managed by mea whose notions of things are of an anterior date to steamships and paixhan guns. What says Sec- retary Dobbin? He is from North Carolina. but we trust he is pot asleep. eCanapun Avrarns.—Our readers will have learned, by the telegraphic despatch which we published yesterday, that the Legislative Coun- cil of Canada have, by rather more than a two- thirds vote—which is required by the Union Act—concurred in the bill for increasing the representation of the province, but have re- jected that which, while it profeesed to abolish the seignorial tenure. would in reality have perpetuated that institution, and at an enor- mous expense to the province, thus disposing of two of the very important measures that have recently occupied, or which continue to occupy, the attention of the Canadian Legislature. The representation bill increases the number of members of the Assembly from eighty to one hundred and thirty—who, however, are not to be returned upon the basis of population—both sections of the province having the same num- ber of representatives, and consequently an un- due influence is thereby given to the French Canadian population of Lower Canada, the inju- rious effects of which are becoming every day more apparent, but which is essential to the existence of the present government. ff will be recollected that there was a call of the Legislative Council early in the present moath; bw #he members of the government, finding that, notwithstanding there was a rather full attendance, yet the measure would not be car- ried, adroitly postponed its further considera- tion till a reinforcement could be brought up, and in this way secured its success. The bill abolishing the seignorial tenure in Lower Canada, although introduced into the House of Assembly by the Attorney-General, who is a member of the government, is not, however, a government measure, and conse- quently its rejection by the Legislative Council cannot be considered as a defeat, although it will deprive them of a large amount of patron- age. During the discussion in the House of Assem- bly. counsel on behalf of the seigniors was heard at the bar of that body ; and so powerful an opposition was raised by the parties who are interested that the Attorney-General, for the purpose of carrying the bill, had to introduce a clause providing remuneration to the seigniors for the surrender of rights which, it is general- ly admitted, they had no legal authority for exercising. This would have required the ap- pointment of a commission for the examina- tion of claims, affording ample means for pro- viding for favorites and supporters, which they seem to understand fully as well in Canada as at Washington, and the entire cost to the pro- vince would, in all probability, have exceeded @ million of dollars. The principal objection to the bill, as modified and altered, during its passage through the As- sembly, was that it wonld not abolish the seignorial tenure, but rather would have the eficct of perpetuating its continuance. Still, had the bill passed, imperfect as it was, it would have had a beneficial effect—particularly at the present moment, when the introduction of railroads into Lower Canada is about to lead to an extensive immigration from Great Britain —as it would have thrown open that portion of the province for settlement, by compelling the seigniors to concede their wild lands at a rea- sonable rate, allow the purchaser to erect mills, and avail himself of the water privileges of his locality. and to act in such a manner as he might conceive conducive to his own interests, which he cannot do at present. It would occupy too much time and space to enter more fully into the details of this subject; but if Lower Canada is ever to assume its pro- per position it can only be effected by uproot- ing and destroying the feudal tenure. Covtp nor Stanp 17.—John Bragg, one of the members of the last Congress, from Alabama. positively declines a re-election. He can’t stand that bear garden of the House. He says that as the proceedings of the House of Representa- tives are now conducted, they make him as lit- tle fitted for that body as that body is for him. Have we come to this pass at last, that a man who really respects himself, and those old fogy notions of sobriety and decency, becomes so much disgusted with one winter’s experience in Congress, that he can’t be persuaded to go there again? We regret. however, that Mr. Bragg has declined. He should pick the flint and try it again. He might be useful in curbing the rampant rowdyism of the House—very useful. In this view he should have followed the example of Colonel Benton, in grappling the bear by the threat. His course, however, reminds us of the old adage, that “Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is a better.” Never say die. Tue Tenvanterec Roure—Hicuty Inrerest- isc Lerrer.—We refer our readers to the inter- esting letter from Mr. Barnard, the surveyor under the Garay grant, of the Tehuantepec route. It isa very interesting and instructive letter. Marine Affairs. ANOTHER STRAMBHIP FOR THE CALIFORNIA TRADE—Mr. E. Mills, the owner of the steamship Uncle Sam, and late owner of the Brother Jonathan, has contracted with Messrs. Perine, Patterson & Stack, the builders of these veseels, to construct him another, to be named the Yan- kee Blade, She will run between this city and Aspinwall, in the independent opposition line, and connect with the Uncle Sam at Panama, which latter leaves here for the Pacific on the 15th June. The hull of the Yankee Blade will be 275 feet long, 30 feet beam, and 22 feet deep, and of a similar model to the Uncle Sam, and will rate about 2,250 tons. Her engize, which is constructing by Meesrs, Secor & Co., of the Allaire Works, will havea 76 inch cylinder, 11 feet stroke, and a 32-feet wheel. The vensel is to be ready for sea in six months from the date of contract. The Uncle Sam, which has just received a new suitfof copper, is now fitting, at the foot of North Moore street, for her journey to the Pacific.

Dr. Curry, Chairman of the Committee on Colonization, to whom was referred the subject of African Coloni: tion and the American Colonization Society, submitted as their report the following resolution :— Resolved, That we rd the course contemplated by the American Colcnization Society—to wit, the cblonizing in Afriea of such of onr colored people as may choose to avail themselves of its benefits—as one that offers grea’ advantages to the oolored race, and is therefore worthy of the confidence and support of the generous and hu- mane. Rerolved, That we recognise tho obligation and duty of the people of this country to provice for the best inte. rests of the colored people found among us; and, without calling in question their right to equal privileges with the whites, we still believe that their interests can be most purely ‘promoted by their removal to the land of their fathers. Resolved, That the success of the colonization enter- prise on ihe eoast of Africa bas been such as to encou- rage the hearts of allits friends, and to justify their appeal to the benevolent for pecuniary aid, and to confirm the confidence of the philanthropic in the beneficent results of the enterprii Resolved, we recognise the scheme of colonization as an important and valnable auxiliary to the cause of missions on the coast of Afriea, and as euch we commend it to the favorable regard and to the generous assistance of all our people. Dr. Fioy boped that this Conference would not be made a penteal arena, and moved to lay the report upon the tale. ‘The Presipext put the question, and on a division there were—Ayes 43, noes 18. So the report was laid upon the table. Dr. Curry wished to give notice that it was his inten- tion to take the first opportunity that presented itself during the present Conference to call the matter up and meke a speech upon it. Dr. ‘Loy.—Not during the present Conference, I hope, Brother. Dr. CurRy.—Yes, Brother; during the present Confer- ence. ‘The Rey.8. Lanpox moved that a committee of three be appointed to estimate the allowance of the tract agent; which motion prevailed, and Revs. J. Landon, H. Bangs and J. B. Wakeley were appointed. Rey. H. D.

J. W. B. Woop precented the following resolution, which was adopted — Resolved, That we still continue to view with the most lively interest the progress and success of the mission es tablished by the Ladies’ Home Mission Society, at the Five Points, New York; and while we tulate them on the evident blessings of our Divine Lord in their lnber of love, we cordially pledge to show our hearty co-opera- a support for the ensuing year. v. Mr. YounGs, from i@ committee to whom out sufficient scrutiny into their moral and religious charac‘er and conduct, reported the following resolutions, which were edopted:— Resolved, That the views and suggestions of the me- morialists are fully appreciated by the Conference. We cordially agree with them in the opinion that high moral and religious standing is as essential to our local as to ovr itinerant ministers and preachers, and the public look for the same purity im the one as in the other; and therefore no Conference ought to permit one of its mem- bers to locate, or to locate him, without his consent or without a strict examination of his moral character and deportment as a Christian and Christian minister, and his character ascertained to be above suspicion. Rerolved, That in the opinion of the Conterence, there may bave been some laxity of admicistration heretofore in the above respects, inthe primary investigation of charges and complaints and in the annual conference: ‘we propose, by the grace of the Lord, to.be more carefi in future.

Dr. Perry raid that the Quarterly Conference were the accusers, and the Presiding Elder was the prosecutor in the matter, according to the resolution of the Conference. Bishop Smrrson—Then cali the witnesses, if you do not agree on the facts. ‘The Secrerary then read the minutes of the trial of Mr. Pease, at the Second street church, which showed that Brothers Allen and Ludlow were accusers.

The Secretary read the fourth specification: — In ruling out evidence that is universally admizeible, going to show the quo animo dicposition of mind in whieh the VaBarchiry | originated, and also allowing the oral testimony to invalidate the record.” Dr. Bown called and examined by Mr. Curry. As counsel of Brother Pease we made an effort to get before the committee certain facts going to show the quoanimo, the disposition of mind in which the prosecu tion criginated amovg the members of the Quar‘erly Con- ference—the testimony offered was ruled out as inadmis- sible, and we offered @ written protest, which was also tee ined by Mr. Pe rons: exam! y Mr. Perry. Q.—What effort did you make to show the quo animo? ‘A —We oalled a witness and offered to prove the dis Q—What did you propose to prove by the witness? A.—We wished to prove that no intention to reclaim the money from Brother Pease would have been originated in the Quarterly Conference but for misunderstandings which bad taken place between some of the then existing offi- cers with their predecessors in office. Q.—What was the nature of those mixnoderstending? A.—That I know no thing aboot Q.-—Was that misunderstanding a difference of opinion with regard to the propriety of prosecuting this case? A —I do not know. Dr. Curry offered the following In evidence from the winutes:—* It wae proposed to show by testimony what meaning the Quarterly Conference attached to the ‘calendar’ in the report of the committee, marked B. Brother ease objected to this, as it was going behind the record. ‘The Presiding Wider decided that tne testi- mony was admissible.” The following additional extract was then read from the minutes :— Brother Arrell called—‘ Was a member of the Estimating Committee in the that the committee estimated ‘he Pease at $600 for the Conference yeat ‘The SKRCRETARY read the second c! “With oppression,’” Specification firet—"'In unnecessarily subjecting me ge, a8 follows :— the express words of the Cresiding pBiee. a Cross exami yr +.

Q.—Do re- member giving your opinion as to whether Jjrother Pease bad been paid too much in the Quarterly Conference?’ (Mule out ) "GQ —Was the. presiding Hider Ynformed by yourself, before be gave his opinion, that the reason for ‘the payment of the money to Brother Pease, was de- fleioney extsting in bis first year’s salary ? A.—At the firat quarterly conference of eur present presiding Elder, it was ascertained by the Board of Stew- that a deficiency did exist in the payment of tne first alary; and there was @ question raised by a mem~- rly conference, that Brother had is full salary, anda month over. A mn made for a committee of investigation to investigate the books of the stewards. (Queation re- pate) ‘A.—I informed the Presiding Elder that sueh & ficiency existed.

He that the estimating committee had no right te esti- mate beyond the conference year, and thet the Board of ‘Stewards hud no right to pay beyond this esti- mate of the conference year. Dr. Curry offered in testimony the records of the quar- jay conference of Second street ¥. E.
