Auzany, June 11—9 P. M. I have just learned, from good authority, that the Com- mittee of Conference on the Canal resolutions have agreed upom resolutions which will command the almost unani- mous vote of both houses. The basis of the agreement is briefly as follows:— The enlargement of the canals from their own resources. ‘The rejection of taxation. The repudiation of the contracts of 1851. By the above it will be seen that the report recognizes the three preminent features for which we have all along contended. ‘The following are the points upon which the committee is stated to have finally agreed, as amendments to be pro- posed to article 3, of section 7, of the constitution: — 1, The canals shall be finished by borrowing $9,000,000, without tax, on the strength of the revenues. 2. To borrow $1,500,000 to pay the canal revenue cer- tifloates, making in all $10 500,000. 3. To complete the canals in four Fenn 4. To make it imperative that the Legislature shalt pro- vide the means. 5, The contracts are repudiated, 6. The work is to be let out to the lowest bidder. ‘The amended charter passed the Senate this morning. By this amendment all the restrictive provisions of the new charter, juat adopted by the overwhelming vote of the city, will be applied to°the present Common Council. ‘This strengthens the Mayor’s veto, and at once remove all the Aldermen from their seats in the courts of Sessions and Oyer and Terminer. This is now a law, and will not ave to be submitted to the people. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. EXTBA SESSION. Senate. Ampany, June 11, 1853, NEW YORK CLERKS’ LIBRARY.

Propante Murper.—One of those outrages which have been so common in the large cities of the country, of late years, and which are unhappily on the increase, was perpetrated in tals cliy at night.

They immediately approached the gang with the intention of dispersiog or arresting them, when the fellows took to their beels and ran up the street yelling and hooting. They were pursued by the watch: men, one of whom, named W.

Pratt in the Tabernacle. The topic under consideration in the apostates from the Chuzch, in discussing which the speaker evinces much bitterm “Ido not know of one single persecutionof any magni tude, that has brought trouble and general distcess upon the people of Ged in this age, that was not brought about direerly by sof those that went out from ourselves —who professed to be of us—if I may except the first trouble iv Jackron county, Missouri. In all the general persecutions I do not recollect of a single instance that the geveral storm was not brought about by men from emong ourrelves. professing the name, membership, and the priesthoed of the Latter Day Saints Traitors to the cause that they professed to believe. This was the dtrect neans of the suffering, and ihe bresking up of the com munity in Kirtland; of the breaking up of the commu- vity and the expulsion of them from Missouri, It was the direct of this last persecution which led to the rartyrdom of the Prophet and the des‘ruction of many ovbers; the plundering of millioos—the barning of our temple; and our migration to this eountry. We came here for peses. We are now in a place where the extend- ed desert, aud snow clad mountains, widely iatervene on every side between us and our neighbors, that they might bot tread on our toes and © ed we might not tread on theirs, We know who led us here; it was not only the Almighty God by his matchless providence, but by his rervapt; be that riands a1 the head of this people, and thore that were with bin.

The only safe way in for the goed and bad to be separated. I like to see the roads open, the snow disappear from the kanyons, that spirits not congenial to the gospel of peace may go as many roads as there are points of compass.

Wednesday, April 6, 1863, could not have dawned a more lovely day, or bave been more ratisfactory to raints or angels.

His pertormance was in a higher yein than those of his brethren, Uur spiritualists will be tlattered cr surprised to learn, as they will if they listea to Elder Pratt, that Joe Smith is the father of the spiritual” philosophy of the present day. He coniends that "it was firat inwoduced to the modern world’’ by the founder of Mormonism. The people of the United States slew him ard then embraced his doctrines, * though iv a perverted sense.’ © Kditors, statesmen, philosophers, priests, and Jawyers, as well as the common people, began to advocate the principles of converse with the dead, by visions, di- vination, clairvoyance. knocking, and writing mediums, &e, ke.’ This spiritual philosophy, of converse with the dead, ence established by the labors, toils, eulferiags and martyrcom of its modern founders, and now eabraced by @ large portion of the learned world, shows a triamph more rapid and cowplete, a victory more extensive thaa has ever been achieved in the same length of time, in our world. An important point is gained, @ victory won, and a coun‘lese hot of oposing powers vauquisled, on one of the leading or fundamental truths of Mormon phi- loropby, viz: *'Tbat the living may bear from the dead,’ ”” Eider Pratt winds up with this ‘sweeping sentence:— It is then a matter of certainty, according to the things revealed to the ancient provhets, and renewed unto us, that all the spimal magnetic phenomena, all the trances and virions of clairvoyant states, all the phenomena of spiritual knockirg, writing mediums, &c., are from im- pure, unlawful, and unholy sources; and that tho-e holy and choren vessels which hold the keys of priesthood in this world, in the epirit-world, or in the world of resur- rected beings, stand #s fer aloof from all these improper ebanrels, or unholy mediums of spiritual communication, as the heavens arehigher than the earth; or asthe mys- teries of the third heaven, which aro unlawful to utter, differ from the jargon of sec: ignorance and folly; or the di ions of foul spirits and abandoned wizards, magic mongers, jupglers and fortune tellers, President Young pronounced the benediction, in which it will be seen be intimates aa opinion that the Great Tem- ple ovght to be in Jackson county, Missouri. ‘1 bless you,’’ said he, -* in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, acd pray my Father in Heaven to encircle you ia the ot his love and mercy; protect us until we have bed this Temple; receive the fullness of our endow- ments therein, and then build many more; and I pray, also, that we may live to eee the great Tomple in Jackson county, Missouri,”? ‘The Mormon Pro; nda ‘The Perpetual Emigration Fonds are in a pros) cocdition, although, from surroundivg cirow but a small por ion is available fer uve this se: .

In the performance of their duties the society have dis- tributed, during the past year, 1,783 Bibles aad 1.874 Testamente—Total, 3,657. Another means of ka prong scriptural knowledge, employed by the society, was known by the name of colportage, a word borrowed from ‘the French, and which consists in diffusing moral and reli- gious instruction by books aud tracts. For this purpose, at the last anniversary of the society, it was resolved to make a special effort to sustain colporteurs, and the sum of fourteem hundred aud odd dollars had been raised, and properly appropriated. Their efforts had beem mai directed to newly arrived immigrants, who come from climes, and of all classes, with every shade of character as wellas of color.
