It seemed to him that they were nothing more nor less than that. He could not see the — propriety of — the substitute. If the origital resolutions were adopted it would show that they did not approve of uais sugge-tion to their pastor. it Was not going to protract his labors among them. They expected bim to stay.

Up to tis time the eiguers of the letter had kept quiet, with the exception of cuicribg & protest against the pro- cveulpgs There was therefore some excitement and inter- eet manifested when Mr. O. E. Woon, one of the signers of the letter, aroze and said that ihe origin of the letter was in a » eeting of gentlemen of the society and church, simply for the purpose of cousidering (be best interests of the church &nd ociety. Some of them had felt for some time that there were serious difficulties ja the church aad society, which if possibie should be remedied. Mr. J. W. Hatsrep wished to know from the Chair whether the gepticman was speaking with refereace to the resolution or bot. The Cuiaikaay replied that be considered the gentleman in order. Mr. Woop continued. The letter was written and in. tended in a Christian manner. It was evident that it was intended ag an irregular proceeding, as if it bad not beeo +o intended other proceedings would have been taken. It was intenced as an indication of the views of these signers as well ax many others. It was an ijoformal proceeding, ‘As it was intended to be, and he supposed it would not be recognized by she council. He supposed the resolution of Mr. Wilcox was offered with the view of making a fortal proceeding out of an informal one. It was not offer ed with any desire to take away any privileges from the church, from recognising the character and wellbeing of their pastor. He felt as much attacbed to bimas any other man, but in the course which he had seen fit 0 take, he had coueulted what be regarded as the best interests of the society. He felt certain that there was no desire to deprive the society of any privi- lege, aud that the signers sincerely believed Wemvelves to be in the right Rev. C. J Warren was in doubt which to wonder at the moct—the letter which had given rise to the meeting, cr thé resolution now before them fur adoption. Tae irregularity and impropriety of the one, was ecarcely to Le exceeded by the irregularity and impropriety of the other. He did not see the least possible necessity for this Chureb tw call a council. The brother had spoken of the siucerity of the signers to the letter. From what acquaint. ance be had hed with those brethren he would not donbt there sincerity. But be had lived long enough in this world to know that good men, and among them the very best men, might be as sincerely wropg as sincerely right: he had seen such things. sincerity was by no means atest of sound discretion; for, if it were, where was the ?rotestant more sincere than the majority of the deiuded papists who bow or walk up the steps of the ca‘hedral on their knecs. What was the sincerity of Christianity to the sin- cerity of Paganism? It seemed to him very improper for this church to be asked, when their brethren acknow- ledged that the document was not inteuded to be a formal proceeding, to go b acouncil when their cause was physically weak. was NO necessity for calling a | council until they were enabled to come to an agreement | er rors A was not wn agin . ¢ close of Mr. Warren’s some! ngthy speech, put. et Aa parler weston to be Deane & Mf, Commas, avwever, Toes and emia wnat Be nas © at every man present in the room, whatever might be their differences, however divided might be their feelings, wished to hear a full dissussion.

He raw no reason for resigning the matter to these sixteen men. There were severai manifestations of applause during Mr. Chester's Mr. Ferrus epoke briefly, advocating the present time for the delivery of any opinions on the subject, and hoped that the arnendment would be rejected. Mr. Jor: Brackmay thought the letter was not irregular or out of order. It was verv proper for members who wish a pastor to r to ay eo to him. If the deacons or members of the church wished a pastor to re- sign, {i was proper to communicate that fact to him. If the pastor did not wish to resign, then it might be proper to call upon the church and have acouncil, with the pas- tor, toconsider the state of the case. He thought it im- proper that they should be called there that evening. Did the pastor wish to resign? Be thought not. Then why were they there that evening? The church bad not asted him to resign. If these sixteen members wished Dr, Cheever to resign, they were at perfect liberty to ack him to unite with them in calling council for that purpose, Bot tf not, what was there for them to do? If the sixtwwen memrbers wanted a council, it was per for them to ask the church and pastor to unite in calling a council, and dis- cuss the subject. He opposed their passiug any resolution at present, or baving apy thinu to do with a matter in such ‘an informa! shape. Mr. Haxws, amid loud calls for “the question,’ pro- ceeded to address the meeting. He deemed the amend ment entirely out of place, and concluded by moving the previous question. Mr. Matuex desired to make an explanation, but was — as Mr. Herris dectined to withdraw the previous quest! Mr. Marien poggested that this was a specimen of the Christian courtesy which was extended to him by a now comer, Mr. Herem was about to iain, when Mr. MaTHER suggested that he would be out of ordor, as the previons question had becn moved. The Chairman so ruled, and was about to put the qves- tion on the original mouon, when Mr. Herris withdrew his motion. Rev. J. P. Wannen then arose, and said that he had re- cently moved to the city with his fa nily and joined the Chureh of the Puritans, because be liked ite repatation and its pastor, but found himself on the threshold of bis con nection ina divided church. He felt an interest in the matter, and would therefore earnestly. He had had experience on this very , and believed that the whole proceedings were irregular. The parties who had written the letter were not the only partice who bad formed tho contract. They had proceeded irregularly in writing the letter, and pow the meeting wae about to carry out that tr. regularity by ng them to give their reasons for so doing. It was @ standing rule, that a council #hou'd not be calied in cases where a church had not taken the question. ‘The counci! could only act in cases where the charch had Passed upon « question and taken a decided stand, and given its decision djrectly upon the case in point. He, therefore, sustained the original motion, aud opposed the amendment. Prof. Taomrsor there would be a fair and free discursion. He could not for bimself see the reasons of the brethren who wrote the letter, and hoped they would have an opportunity to state them. The Cusnatay then amid loud calls for the question, put the motion on thy iment, when there was a pretty full ‘vote in its favor. Upon the question for a vote on the ne. five, there was @ visible majority againet i Some one, jowever, Ruggested a count, and the question was taken by rising. There appeared to be twenty for the amendimout and forty eight against it—upon announcement of which there was quite an outburst of applause. The ledios much to their surprise and discomfture, were not allowed w vole, There was an attempt made to invalidate the vote on account of the lemen at the upper end of the room having remained standing all the time while the vote was being taken, but the Chairman decided that the yote could be questioned, TACTICR. The Ciaran was about to take the question on the ori- gina) motion, when General Mather cailed his attention to bo 14th standing rule, which the Chairman read as fol- owe No resolution shall be adopted at the mame meeting at which itis offered.

Mr. MaTuxn agotn entered bis jon, Mr. T. 8. Panny said their pastor had been requested to resign by tixteen members. He had thrown mauwer upon their hands, asking them to say what he shoald do, and certainly Chriedan courtesy dictated that before he slept herhould know whether his ehurch wished him to 0 oF stay. , ‘Twe Cuairman then read (he original resolution and was about to put the question, when Mr. Dosw objected to the ques‘ion being taken. ‘The Cramman, however, overruled the objection, and the question was taken amid Breathless interest, There was & loud and long vote for the resolution, and not a voice agaiust it. This cccastoned considerable applause and laughter. The opponents, of course, did not vote, they not recogoiking the legality of the meeting. It was now nearly 10 o’clock, and there seemed to be & general desire to go; but not content with overriding the rules and choking down the minorit) , Mr. C. J. WaRREN arose and a series cf resolutions denouncing in strong terms the sign- ers o’ the letter, as acting in & manner likely to bring dis- cord and discredit upon the charch, This was ke a firevrand thrown in the midst of the assemblage. Mr. Woon, in an energetic and feeling speech, sMrmod that he would not submit to the passage of any such ecn- sre upon him. He had labored {ong tor the chureh, had con‘ributed to its temporal welfare, and bad never been remisr ip his oficia) duties, and therefore deemed the passage of such resolutions as extremely unwise, unjust, and hkely to separate him and his colleagues from the echureh. The difficulty about the letter would be nothing to the difficulty which that reec lution woal | create. A long and acrimen’ous debate followed, in which crimi- nations and recriminations followed in quick succession. One complained of a letter which seme members had signed, which had appeared ina the Independent. Another member declared that that had nothing to do with the church, and bestdes, it had been sanctioned by Dr, Cheever. But Dr, Oneever deniet that he bad doneapy euch thing. And go the dixcussion continued, the brethren meekly giving oue another the lie in a very Christian way. The matter was fivally set- ted temporarily ty the substitution for Mr. Warren's re: golution, of the following, offered by Dr. Ball:— Resolved, That it is now the duty of the members of this church to unite heartily and cordially tu sustaiuing our pastor, ray'ng with all prayer and supplication, that he may open mouth boldly .o speak the trnth. wad that the bonds of peace may not be broken between us. A hymn was then sung, and the benediction pronounced, when Dr, Cheever received the congratulations of his friends. How much his course will benefit the cause of Christianity, remains to be seen. It certainly has not streng’hened the ties which bound together the members of the Church of the Puritans. Ann Dougherty Bi jottl, in for the Murder of her Hus Paramour. NO ATTEMPT MADE TO DISPROVE THE ACT—VERDICT NOT GUILTY. [From the Charieston Standar1, May 15.) Tt baying been announced that the: trial of Mrs. Ann Dougherty Braggiotti, for the murder of Catharine Wel- ser, would be commenced yesterday, the court room was throrged at an carly hour, aud much imterest was mani- fested in the proceedings. The Court opened at 10 o’clo k. By order of the Judge, the prisoner was brought to the bar. “She looked pale an agitated, and was weeping. His bonor, with the assent of counsel on both sides, ordered that a jury be drawn for the occasion, and presented to the prisouer for her accep- tance or rejection. The Clerk then read tho indictment to the jury, upon which the prisoner bad been arraigned, and upon her arraignment, plead not guilty, and for ber trial put herself pon God and her country. Wm.

Joseph Miller, an Englishman, who was indicted by the Grand Jury for the brutal murder of his wife, was the next culprit that was arraigned. He pleaded gality, on Thursday, to manslaughter in the third degree, which plea was received by the District Atorney. The prisoner appear- ed to be 35 years old, and was well dressed. His general appearance did not evince @ carniverous disposition, On being asked the usual questions by Mr. Vandevoort, he re- plied that he was a machinist. Blankman handed the Judge affidavite of respectalje citizens testi"ying to the gooa churacter of Miller. Jut Ruesell addressed him in these words :— Jozeph Miller, you were indicted for murder and plead- ed guilty to manslaughter in the third degree. You killed your wife in a most outrageous and brutal manner. You continved to assault her for two deys and two nights tn the room of your landlord, and when he ordered you to leave ‘oui threatened 'o burn the premises over his head if he Kept your wife from you. You succeeded in geting her into Yourroom,and with a knife or some sharp instru: ment, cut every article of clothing off her body, leaving her in a state of nudity. You then com wed w choke he, apd finally by yourinhuman conduct caused ber death. You are, therefore, entitled to no pity, and my ouly regret is that I capnot send you to the State prison for the torm of your natural life. ‘It is true that you have presented affidavits showing your previous good character, and that you were a qnietly disposed man; but they have no weight in mitigation of the punishment for a crime of so great a magnitude as the one with which you stand char; The sentence of the Court is that you be gent tothe State prison for four years and fined $200, and stand committed unuil it is paid after you serve out your term of imprisonment. The prisoner did not betray the least emotion during the yemarks of the Court. It is said that the deceased was a bad woman, aod that, a short time before her death, Miller found her in the act of having criminal intercourse with another man. MANSLAUGHTER. Peter Arneson, indicted for manslaughter in killing a boy in the Bowery, was placed at the bar for sentence. After conferring with an officer of the court who was familiar with the circumstances of the caso, he was again remand- ed. He will be sentenced next Saturday, A COLORED MURDERER. George W. Satur, (colored,) charged with murdering woman, pleated guilty to manslaughter in the fourth de- gree. it seems he tried to force his way intothe premises of @ woman named McDonald, who refused him entrance, whereupon he eeized a brickbat and s:ruck her with it She lingered for eome time,and died from the effect of injuries received on that occasion. Saltus was a lucky nigger, getting only two years in the State prison. William Hughes, alias Cochrane, indicted for burglary tn the third degrée, pleaded gutlly to petit larceny, and was sent lo the penitentiary for six months. MUST, THE ANORTIONIST. Fljah Hunt, who kept a hairdressing establishment in the Bowery, Dut who was tried. and convicted of man- slanghter, in causing the death of Mrs. Lawson by produo- ing an abortion upon her, was the last prisoner arraigned for sentence. Recorder Smith, before whom the case was tried, addressed him thus:— In your case, Hunt, application has been made to me to postione sentence uziil the last day of this term. It has en represented to me that eome years ago you aban- doned your wife, and since that time have made no pro- vision for her. if you do not exert yourself to make the necessary provision for your wife, I shall consider It my duty to Bentence you to the full’ extent of the law. In order to give you an opportunity to do eo, 1 will remand you till next Saturday. The Court adjourned till Monday at 11 o’slock. DENINY’S TRIAL POSTPONED—MR. BUSTEED GIVES ADVICK TO THE DAILY PRESS—THE DISTRICT AT TORNEY’S LIFE THREATENED, May 19.—4s soon as the court was organized the em- OT wR Mt Ube" Heat ogres, was condinued. “Atte wt: journment of the court yesterday only nine jurors had been selected. Mr. Busteed showed an article which ap peared in to-day’s Datly Times, to the jurors, who were called and read the following extract: —*It was noticeable yesterday that the prisoner had a list of all the jurors, and that whenever he objected toa juror, though the latter bad sworn that be did not know the prisouer, had never heard of the caze, and was totally unbiassed, he was per. emptorily challenged.” One of them said that tho above paragraph would not prejudice him, but another juror thought that it might have some influence upon his mind against the accused. The court, notwithstanding, held him to be a competent juror, as be had stated that he had not heard anything about the case until he arrived in court that morning. Mr. Busteed objected in a long , in which he ani- madyerted upon the conduct of press in regard to the trial{of criminals, He said be (Mr. B.) was weil are how nervously geusitive the commanity genorall; as, with the exeoptlon of the court and jury, and ‘espe. cially the newepaper of our city, 80 proud of ite power and #0 Torgethal of {ta responsibility, the uestion of consumption of time by lawyers in ef. forts to seapennel juries in criminal cases. In the dis- charge of bis duty to his client he pressed upon his honor the consideration that inastnuch as the statement in the Times was untrue, the juror was incompetent to try the case. Dxniny had nots list of jurors in his possession yesterday, and the cougsel was informed that before the accused was brought into court this morning his person ‘was examined in order to see if he had a list of the names of the jurore—a right never denied to the meanest man that diegraced the law. He respectfully bey end tw the preas t the reason why juries could not be obtained in this country was on account of the unwise commentaries of pene before and during the progress cf @ criminal trial. The difficuhy, he thought, existed in the yory zeal- ous and honest endeavors of the newsoaper press wo see that justice shall be administered according to law and ac- corcing to what they may conceive to be the law, leavi entirely out of consideration the character of the court the atiainment ita of counsel. ota fad opeehg Somme bofore the J ined, the Phatrict At- torney moved to postpone the case till the frat day of the In requisite number of jurors wi next term. wif, Basteed sddressed the Court i, opposition to the jon in a very appeal; but Judge Russell said ‘that as this was the last week of tne term, nnd as one or two capital cases were put down for Wednesday, the case off tll he June tert. —— Mr. Busteed asked his Honor to note his ex , and ‘then fpsisted that the Court had no jer rge the Jory. This objection was overri Deniny was then removed. MR. BUSTEED CORRECTED. It is due to the officers of the court to say that Mr. Bus- teed was in error when be said that Deniny was searched in order to see whether he had a list of the jurors in his ext: The fact was that Deniny threatened to take he life of the District Attorney on Monday, and the officers deemed it prudent to see if he had a weapon concealed, but none was discovered. [R GRAND JCRY DISCHARGED. ‘The Grand Jury entered the court room, and the foro- man handed number of indictments t6 his Houor, ob- serving that Wey had finished their bustness, Judge Russell Wanked them in behalf of the publie, for the prompt manner in which their business had been transacted, and discharged them for the term. Daniel Galingher,a youth, was placed on trial the second time for an alleged ‘rape ‘on Mary Ann Conolly, in 120th street, about ten months ago. On hie former trial, which ‘was two months since, eleven of the Jurors were for con- viction and one for ® simple assault and battery. The case occupied the whole of the day, and at 6 his Honor ‘adjourned the case tll to-morrow (Wednesday) morning, when he will proceed to deliver his charge. Tar Uniten States Steamer Micon On Tire Lakws.—In the Parliament on the 14th inst-, Mr. Brown wished to draw the attention of the government to Qemall matter, yet one of considerable interest, The United States had a veasel, the Michigan, stationed on the upper lakes, carrying one gum. | Not having any very im- cm war duties to perform, ehe had been of great use the mercantile navy of the lakes, baving always been ready to go 1o the andotance of veestle tn dietrose. Tt np- peared, however, that tie Michigan was one or two tons above the size allowed by the between Great Bri tain and the United States, and Lord Napior having ealled the attention of the United States government to the mat- ter, orders had beon given to discontinue employing her in her at capacity. It would be a great loss to the nor- cantile marine if she were taken off, and he would suggoat whether the government might not represent to the gov. ernment of the United States that we were not at all afraid of this vessel, and that so far aa Canada was concerned, she might remain on the station. The Attorney Genoral taid the matter would recelye the immediate attention of he gov A Davrnew Arrnay in Troy—On Sanday morn- ing Inet there was a drunken | in Troy, carious in its details, and which nearly resulted in the death of two men, one of whom, it is thought, cannot survive.

One fell by the road sido, almost mortally wounded; anothor just found his way home weary from the loss of blow, were all subsequently arrested, O'Neal seeking rather than avoiding an arrest.
