At 10 o’clock, the hour announced for the public exer- cises to commence, the assemblage re-convened in the main body of the church.

After sreading ® portion of the scriptures and prayer, the Rev. -Cuanias Graves, of Whitestown, N.

H. 0. Vocrit, of Rome, N. Y., made a few remarks,’ He said he felt gratified at the encouraging character of the report they had just heard. It augured, in his view, a growing appreciation of the Bible revision movement. He hoped it would stim- ulate to increased effort on the part of the members of the Union to carry to completion the undertaking they had commenced. Mr. Janzs Epwanps, Corresponding Secretary of the Western Bible Revision Association, said he was pleased with the good report the Union now had to make. It gave great encouragement to those whose lives and souls were devoted to the work. When the Union originated the general prophesy was that the organization could not live. It was sald that Messrs. Cone, Maclay, Waller, and other of the pioneer spirits in their movement, would soon pass from their midst, and that then the efforts would cease, He was glad that the contrary had proved to be the case. They had lost their esteemed President; the Western Association, too, had consigned to its last resting place their able and efficient head, and others whose hearty exertions in their behalf had not been un- availing, had been called away; but still the enterprise lived. resent report he as affording most auspicious indications for the future. e motion to adopt so much of the report as was read, was now put and carried. OPENING ADDRESS HY REV. SAMUEL PAKER. Rev, Samus Baxer, of Williamsburg, N. Y., now fol- “lowed with the opening address. He began with an ex- tended and interesting review of the religious life and ef- forts of their late President, Dr. Cone. A bi iy of this estimable man, was, he stated in preparatidn, and would shortly be published. He could not, however, per- mit the present occasion to pasa without a brief notice of the labors of their deceased leader, more particularly as connected with his efforts to extend correct versions of the Bible among the heathen. Rey. Dr. Cone's labors in this field could not be over-estimated. The obstacles placed in the way of Baptist Missionaries to give correct translations to those pamages of scripture relating to the ordinance of baptism, were of a character more decisive in the 0; ition interposed than those not intimately familiar with the subject have ‘any conception gt These difficulties sought to be thrown in their wee met by that manly and Christian deter- mination which the momentous interests at stake made not only essential, but incumbent as a Christian duty. Con- nected with the account of Dr. Done’s labors thus to ex- tend correct versions of the Bible on foreign ground fol- missionat lowed a detailed statement of the various ry enterprises under charge of the Baj Society, favoring ® revision of the present English translation. The pro- grew of the ui in this country, the speaker was bout entering upon, when — Rev. Samvet Warts, of Staten Island, moved, that as the hour fixed for the termination of the morning seasion had arrived, Mr. Baker complete his address in after- noon, which was carried. The President announced several committees, when after benediction an adjournment took place to the after- moon. COLLATION IN THE RABEMENT. Rev. T. T. Dxvox, of the Committee of Arrangements, previous to adjournment, caused notice to be given that in the basement of the church was set a collation, of which all present, were cordially Invited to participate. At the hour of adjournment, accordingly, thoro was a unapimous proclivity in this’ direction. This is a novel feature in the conduct of anniversaries, but when pras- ticable ix certainly to be recommended. The arrange- ments on the present occasion were very perfect. There was abundance to eat, and what is equally important, abundant elbow room’ afforded the numerous guests. ‘The Paptist brethren showed evident keen appreciation of the things of this earth. ladies of the church had the supervision of the matter. A¥YTERTOON SESSION. At 2 o'clock the meeting re-assembled, pursuant to ad- uurnment. The attendance was more numerous than the beng The exercises opened with the readii ofa portion of scripture and prayer, when Mr. Wyckoff, the Corresponding tary, resumed the reading of THY ANNUAL REPORT, Nearly an hour was occupied before the Secretary got through the elaborate retrospect of the last year’s opera- tions of the society, when it was concluded, Rev. T. A. Backs, of New York, moved its adoption as submitted, and that the same Le printed under direction of the Board. He accompanied motion with a few re- marks. He thought it would move the hearts of many to join with them. It would tend to set the sails of their thip so as to catch not only every favoring tbreeze, but hostile winds. Its exte circulation, he thought, would not be neglected. The motion to accept and print the report was put from the Chair and carried unani- mousy. PRINCIPLES OF THE NEW VERSION MOVEMENT. Rev. Isaac Ewitt, of Ohio, followed with the afternoon address. He chose for his subject the principles upon which the new movement to effect a change in the present version of the scriptures was sought to be attained. First, he declared it to be a purely Protestant movement, The Roman Catholics aimed, he said, to keep the Bible from the great masses of the people. It was the aim of Pro- testantism, on the contrary, to place copies of the sacred text book in the hands of évery human being. The design of this movement was Protestant, but they sought that the version of Holy writ should be pure, and more correct than the present one. This was, moreover, a movement of purely Catholic spirit—it was not sectarian inits alms bal embraced universal humanity within the folds ot its efforts. The, benighted influence sperad and growing dominancy of the Roman Catholic faith was a matter of plain history. People under its subjection were enslaved. What but enslavement Indeed could be expected of this tortuous, unscrupulous, sonl- leas, smoking, hissing, hydra-headed monster’ A spirit the voverse oftkie-a atti rhat sought to elevate, to purify, toChristianize, the world ought therefor to be aceeptab A spivit like this was that of their Union, At the foun- dation of the American Bible Union was a deep and learn- ed faith ia God. It was therr belief that trath would revel. A proposition to change the old version of the Bible was at frst reselved with the ‘stmost conslernation. Cries rose uw) it from every quarter. It was re- Srethi as puaelgiens to tateree wlth the text of the book. This version was endeared by all the thousand tender and sacred recollections of Fn —of manhood—of old age. It ‘he ily Bible—the book that eon read for years at the morning altar and the evening’ hearth. Just as well objections might be interposed to any im- provement Lp mye because of the endearment from recollection The momneovered bucket tha bing in tvs wel r ie well. He todalaa ie the hope that the whurcle of iaiprove- ment upon such trifling ind would not be sought to ‘be retarded, There Jadicen, though not to be disre- garded entirely, would, he beliewsd, in time aie away, In conclusion, he expressed the undoubted conviction of the arrival of the day, and that not far when the James translation of the Bible would waytoa ‘version purer and more consonant with the progress of views and the church. » Perry Davis was now announced. He had no iden, he began, of addressing the assemblage on the rowing ont of the. t occasion, but he had been asked to do so. Tad thirty minutes was allowed ‘and he should try and Sit it. He was not an educated man—he abould leave thore everything about to who had been educated. He should plainly and to the it. First, then, the new Bible veraion origicated in wven—joy was in heaven on the first conception of this overw! idea—peace and good will were claimed to men. 1 Jews were the first bay were baptised in the Red Sea. Jesus Christ was the great teacher of bay . Above all, he wasn Bible Union man —he labored to unite the Old and New , and he preached baptiin. Christ came to back up Joho the Baptiet; John the Haptist preached ‘repentance Of sic» and immervion—so "aid devas” Obilet, They were both good Baptivts, and those who believed in them were baptized. Men were wrong who followed them for the loaves and the fishes. These were ‘not, bey |, and Christ would aa soon have of sprinkling a baby as to have bat ot rinkling, although he had been favored soas to be Ne to translate Seriptures from their original lan- of sabre Howann, of Rochester, followed Mr. Davis pronounced a very able address, mainly upon rte effect that change pal fen- Scriptures. Following his address, one or two additional committees were announced, when an adjournment took place till the evening.

The Fnglish Bible, he added, was so widely disseminated that sun never set upon countries where coples of it had Bot been sent. The importance of a trusr and purer version he considered only so much the more important and more extended was copies of the sacred volume. In conclusion, he alluded n tothe late President, and drew a glowing enlogy of his life and works. The Committee of Arrangements reported the pro- gramme of proceeiings for the wecomi day, which was opted. Rey, Duxcan R, Camruris, D. D., President of Geo town College, followed in a lengthy addross and able vin- ication of the new Bible version movement. The gene- rel objections to the new version of the scriptures as proposed by the Union were reviewed im turn and ably met, Nev. J. M. Bray, of Virginia, who was announced to give an address, was not present. Adjourned to Friday morning, at 10 o'clock. SECOND DAY—MORNING SESSION. The Americen Bible Union re-assembled on Friday morn- ing, at 10 o'clock, at the church corner of Broome aad Elizabeth streets. The President called the meeting to or- der, The preliminary exercises of reading a portion of Scripture, singing and prayer were gone through with, when the minutes of the last meeting were read and ap- proved, Several committees were named to meet, and retired ac- cordingly to the vextry of the church. Mr. Wa. H. Wycxorr, corresponding secretary, moved, which was carried, that the Committee on Libraries be constituted a permanent committee for the ensuing year. REPORTS OF COMMITTER. Rey. Wx. C, Carr, from the Committee on Publicatio&s, made a report. The prior publications of the Union were first alluded to. With the limited means at their command in the outset, and the prevalent hostility to their movement, it took some time before they could make themselves adequately felt. At present it was other- wise. Second in magnitude and means to but few similar societies, their publications bad reached a Jarge number, and were exerting a widespread influence, which was evident in the growing popularity of this movement. The system of stereotyping their issues was approved as judicious, and especially the plan adopted of giving the publication to those parties only united with them in their movement. The committee, in conclusion, called on all friendly to the measure to give thelr aid to the enlargement of thts most {mportant field of effort. One motion toaccept the report o warm discussion ensued. Rev. Dr. Cnurcn, editor of the New York Chronicle, ex- cepted to the report, on the ground that the allusions contained in it to the early course taken by the New York Chronicle were unjust. Ho contended that his paper was pioneer in the field of Bible reform. . Dr. EATON, of Madison University, conceived that the prior course taken by any single paper was a matter of little consequence. ‘The only question was whether the présent position of the paper was correct. Rev. Dr. Sinvaxp, of New York, thought that the eom- mittee took occasion in their report to speak approvingly on the course of papers, #0 as to render themaclves justl open to the imputation of sectarianism. The Philadel- Chronicle was spoken of with unwarranted severity. le disapproved such course. In {We ps won the first day of this present anniversary there was too much use ot the word Baptist. Immersion was the subject made mort prominent. If he sup; the Union was of a sectarlan character, he should withdraw from the body ‘at once. Ber. Dr. Anwitace moved that the report be recom- mi . At this stage of the proceedings an old lady appeared in the aisle and created some disturbance. Sie was finally removed, and harmony restored, Kev. Mr. Siavstay desired that the report should stand as submitted. The Philadelphia Chronicle wax hostile to this movement, and whatever its pretenco, the truth should be set forth. The misrepresentations ofthat paper had retarded theirmovement. Rev. Mr. Batpwin, of Philadelphia, said that knowing the position of the Philadelphia Chronicle to their Union he hoped they would not degrade themselves by any alla- ion to it. Rey. E, H. Bartanp, of New York, ssid that their deli- berations, thus far, had been characterized with harmony, and he felt anxious no difference upon a matter so tri- fling should be allowed to cause dissention. He would suggest, as the most practisable mode, to strike out ail allusions to papers in the report. Mr. CLapr said that the committee would revise their report in this respect. motion to recommit the report was withdrawn, an‘ the report, after the corrections of the committee were made, adopted. ADDRES HY REV. T. it. JONTE. Rey. T. B. Jones, of Norfolk, Va., now addreysed the Union upon the subject of King James’ translation of the Bible, contrasted with the version proposed to be ren- dered by the American Bible Union. He was aware, ho raid, that a proposition to alter the version of tho Serip tures was nnacceptable to most, It was unacceptable, decause it came in contact with old associations and old rejudices. The Bible was regarded as posseased of that Rot sanctimoniourneen, that it, was Icoked upon as the highest sacrilege to think of altering the sacred text. Most think it written by God’s own band, and that God's hand alone should alter it. But this feeling, he believed, was gradually giv way to grow enlightenment. ‘The masses were opening their eyes to the fact that {the Sertptares an read ‘were the handiwork of man, ani that as such, had traces of interpolation and error that should be expurgated and corrected. King James’ version, he insisted, bore fruitful marks of the errors and prejudices of that’ age. As scholarship aasumed a higher range, these errors become more palpable. The pernicious influence of some of these errors, upon the coonmon mind, had been a source of anxiety to many Christian hearts, To correct these errors and to give a version in keeping with the present standard of biblical knowledge and selence, was je object of this Union, It was not & sectarian version, dictated by mere bigotry and de- at they sought. That Greek word bapizo us stumbling block to many—h refer remain buried as in the present trauala- Ho her than the imputation of sectarianism should rise against their movement. A true, pure, enlightened translation was all they aimed to’ accomplish. The spenker proceeded to answer the various objections brought to this movement. He hoped, would not falter in the enterprise so auspic! Though it was unquestionably mainly » Bap and though ‘he believed must, be credited to ultimate high and immortal honor of the others were with them in the movement. T grading views —such & them the work, still rank and file of the great masves of humanity wero with them. The fears expressed that the movement would be uneuc- cessful they might rely upon as groundiess. The work would succeed. Persevering effort, funie ond prayer formed a trinity that would prove jovnrhent. After calling for the meeting of several comunittees the convention adjourned to 234 P. M. Meanwhile, as on the first day, » collation was in walt- ing in the basement, to whieh the greater part of the as: sembly sesurted, ae APTERNOON SESSION. The members of the Union reconvened at 244 ovlock. In the absence of Dr. Maclay, Rev Dr. Armitage, the first Vice Prestlent, took the chair, Singing and prayer opened the exercives, when turther reports of commit. tees were called for.

The change was voted to be made. UNMECTARIAN CHARACTER OF THE AMERICAN BIBLE UNION ‘AND IT!

Both reports wore adopted, KMOTIONS APPOSITE TO THE OCCASION, Rey.

Conayt, D.D., Professor of Languages in Madison University, Rochester, and oneof the translators employed in getting out the new version of the Bible, was invited by the Chatrman to address the meeting. He o0- cupied some half au hour, in the course of which he ex- plained the ardmous labors attending preparing correct translations of the scriptures, ax required by the Union, He disclaimed that any feeling of sectariayis was allow ed to insiuence the translation, In conclusion, he strong yy urged that material aud of everything was most essen- ial. Kev. J, M. Bray, of Virginia, in response toa similar invitation from the Chair, followed Ina few remarks. Their tenor was mainly gratulations to the members of the Union for the success that thus far had crowned their efforts, with assurances of a more prosperous future, Benediction terminated the exercises, when an adjourn- ment took plac» till evening, EVENING SESSION——-THE CLOSE. ‘The Unicn came together again at 7% P.

Javes CrAtuy, of Philadelphia, offered a resolu tion returmng the thanks of the Union to the secular press of the city for the faithful reports it had given of their proceedings. The resvlution was passed unani- mously. Rev. G. W. Fatox, D.D., Prosident of the Theological De- partinent of Madison University, followed with an address oceupying an hour anda ball ia ity delivery, and was listened to with most earnest and marled atten tion, The ehief opposition to the new veraion move- ment, he said, emanated not from a source it would be first of all anticipated from—infidelity and Romantam— but trom the Protestant ranks. ‘The pross and the pulpit have joined in a crusade against this cause, Al! manner of objections have been brought to bear against them. It was said they desired to substitute the bread and but- ter dialoct of the boarding school for the strong and mer- vous Saxon of St. Paul. The word “baptize” again, waa alleged to haves variety of meaningn, ait it was sareas- tically asked which rendering would be adopted. To him it was not a Wonder many should. oppose them; but that such insipid objections should be wade the basis of oppo- sition, was 4 little wonderful. He bad investigated the ‘subject, and ascertained that the opposition to thik movement sprung partly from misconception, partly from personal antagonisin, and partly from want of concordance with the views alloged to be entertained by the Leaders in the movement, Their object was only to Aissesninate the Scriptures in their purity—the word of, God intended not for one, but for the whole world, Theirs was an organization of individuals, not secte—it was not a denominational, but » Scriptural society. ‘The further objects of the Union, and ‘the means by which it sought to achieve ft, has fortued the topics of very ex: tended remarkn, Fidellty of version of the Bible, he in- sisted, was what they wanted, and all they wanted.

This being @ subject in which a large num- Der of citizens are interested, atthe meeting yesterday a ay attendance was present. r. J.C. Treapwers. first appeared before the commit- tee. He stated that he resided in Fifty-necond street, near the Kleventh avenue; by living there he was unable to get down town without going over to Eighth avenue; this was attended with such inconvenience that he found it hetter to keep a horse and wagon; he had driven his horse over the track when he supposed that the cars could not possibly reach him, but he was sv deceived as to the rate of speed they were advancing that he had once or twice come near being run over. ‘The cars usually give no intimation of their being near. Their speed was from twenty-five to forty miles an hour. The distance from Thirty-first street to Fifty-ninth street, where it ix roposed to change tie terminus to, is a little less than wo miles. Were steam cars to be taken off, and the cars to be drawn by horses, there would not be a difference of five minutes in getting to Thirty-first #treet. From the Fleventh avenue to the Highth avenue, it was allof « mile. Should the locomotive be removed, property would advance nearly fifty per cent. As it was, there were a large number bullings upon the avenue which it was 4 total impossibility to rent. He had known life often to be lost. from persons being run over. In one case, where a suit for damoges was brought, he had understood a verdict was recovered against the railroad eompany. Mr. Ganmer 8. Motr was the next party appearin fore the commities. He considered the use of lo- jotives for the road below Fifty ninth street was attended with great danger to the lives of those living upon the avenue. The cars often run be low Fifty-ninth « at a rate of a mile @ minute t he. He had upon several occasiv escaped being run over, if the company « put on city cars, they would in his view derive enue that would more than compensate them for the extra expense they might be put to, having’ bought a large quantity of land at Sixty-first street, be sopposed it was their intention ultimately to erect ‘a depot there. The cart never slackened their #peed in the least till arriving at Forty sixth «! le. ween Fifty-ninth and Thirty-first streets, only three men were statfoned to keep a look out and warn those ap- reaching the.track. These were stationed at Fifty-ninthy, Fitty-tourth and Forty-stxth streets rexpec ively. Mr. Jouy Baavy stated that he had hada horse lamed by one of the trains running ageinst him. The railroad company bad refused to indemntly him for “amage sus tained fn the injury inflicted upon his horse, although the injary rendered him unavailable for use a long time ‘The use of steam upon the avenue below Pifty-niath street in his opinion, had caused a depreciation af praperty be tween that #irect and Thirty-first street, at least one. eighth. If there bad been no railroud there at all, that’ section of the city would have been altogether more ‘vala- able than it is at present. Formerly an exira line of stages run down, but their removal had taken away the sole convenience of immediate access down town, Mr. Gannet Yrevkee, Jr, counnel for the applicants, stated that there were reveral other witnesses they de rigned to call, by whom they wished to show that the difference in getting down town by patting on horse cara instead of steam would be but trifling, ana would not re tard the company in the least—that the clahy a pecuniary advantage to them—aleo tat t Council had no right, by the charter ofthe elty such mgrant as they had given the Hudson Kiver ita roed Company. this testimony was yory important, an | the meeting of the Board prevented further heariog then, he asked that the committee would consent to aaother hearing which was complied with, and the case pat down for Monday afternoo: ‘The Epidemic at Norfolk and Portsmoath.

On Wednesday last, a trotting match came off at the Centreville Course, which tn point of interest and conten- tion, far excelledanything of the kind that has taken place this season. The race was between Mr, Johnson's sorrel gelding Fultou and Mr. Conway's sorrel mare Lady Holen, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, for $1,000. Five heats wore trotted, nove of which were won by more than half a length, and one—the fourth— | was a dead heat. This race was made last «pring, whon Mr. Jobnéon, Mr. Conway, and Mr. Bridger, had a sweep- wakes. Conway won the stake after a very hard race between his mare and Mr, Johnson's gelding. They then matched for $600 aside, the race to come off on the firat of October. Monday being unfavorable, the race was Postpoued until Wedwesday last. Johnson and Conway drove their own horses, and for amateurs performed their duties ina very creditable manner, The betting on the race previous to the start was largely ia favor of Lady Helen, one hundred to forty being corrent when the word was given. This long odds was produced from the fact that Fulton bad cuffed his knee some days before the raco, and hadto be let up in consequence. The tack was in fine order, notwithstanding the wet weather of the previous days, anc the attendance large, First Heat.—Lady Helen won the pole. The horses got the word side and side, and went ia this way about half | way ardund the upper turn, when the mare broke up and fell off a length, Fulton going to the quarter pole in | forty-three seconds. He kept a length ahead down the backstreteh to the half mile polo—time, 1:2% On the lower turn the mare took sidox with him, and they swung on the homestretch yoked, Lady Helen then broke up, losing about a length. She inade a rattling brush and they were again head aud head. The maro unfortunately’ broke again, and Fulton came howe a winner by aif a length. ‘Time, 2:46. Second Heat.—lady Helen, notwithstanding that she had lost a heat, had the call among the financiers at one hundred to eighty. ‘The horwes were started nicely, and they went around the upper turn lapped. Fultan passed the quarter pole in forty-three seconds, half a length abe the backstretch they were parallel, and from tand, the drivers looked like two men im one vehicle, ‘They parsed the half mile pole in this way in 1:24, and went around the lower turn yoked together. A more beautiful contest was never seen, They kwang on the homestretch in thix way, and came up to within a few yards of the Jodges’ stand, when Lady Helen broke up dnd ran over the sore, ‘The beat was given to Ful- ton, the judges deciding that he won the heat by his head. Tine, 2:49, Third Heat.—-Fulton now was a great favorite, and one hundred to thirty wanted takers, Lady Helen got the word about half'a length al and be increased the distance and took the polo from Fulton before che got around the turn. She was a couple of length alwad of him at the quarter pole, in forty-two seconds, which abe held to the half in 1 ‘On the Lower turn Fulton began to close, and after a most vigorous struggle the horses landed at the score, Lady Helen eight or ten inches tn front. Time, 2:44, Fourth Heat.—Again the betting changed, Lady 1 was now rather the favorite. The horses had a good send off and they went lapped to the quarter pole, Lady Helon a neck and shoulders in front—t forty-two seeonda. Soon after passing that point, F broke up and fell off thirty yards or more, His chances appeared to be £20: iif could not make up a yard on the backstreted, dy Helen passed the half in 1 On the lower turn Fulton trotted very fast, and began to shut up the gap. Conway, when he ‘swung on the homestretch tok the centre of the track, and Johnson seeing there was room enough, took the inside. He closed on the mare at every stride, and when within a dozen yards of the stand was | parallel with her. They both broke up, and came on» | ¢. The judges decided a dead beat ‘Time, 2 Fifth Heat.—Night coming on, patrol judges wi stationed on the turns to see that every thing would go off fuirly. ‘The horses had a fine and they went to the quarter pole with their heads together in fort one reconds. joing down the hackatretch but one ho ld be seen until n and fell back # length or me me, 1:26. gain, and as they swung on the homestretch gain yoked, A most exciting struggle ensued, latained to the score.

Charley King, by Glencoe, out of Leopardess. by Medoc, and b. hi. Jim Barton, by Gray Fagle, out of Ann Innis, by Eclipse. ‘The gelding won in three straight heats very handily, showing great speed at times during the race, It wan evident that he would have perfurmed his work much faster could Jim Barton have crowded him at any point. On the last heat, when the rider of Barton made an effort to take the pole, the speed ot Charley was brought out for an instant, and be dashed past Barton a couple of lengths, and there he lay throughout the heat, run ning with the greatest cage, while the other labored hard to overtake hiw.
