Mr. Munn, of South Brooklyn, has had several of the second class schooners on the ways carrying out some slight alterations. The fast litte schooner Peerless, owned by Commodore Roger Maxwell, of the Atiantic Yacht Ciud, received a thorough overhauling and a nine-inck keel, waich her centreboard through. The Peerless is a likely winner of the Corinthian Cup given by the Seawanhaka Club, as she ts fast and her owner thoroughly understands bow to handle her and make the speed tell. The Peerless is now at Staten Island veing painted. Mr. Thayer’s new schooner yacht Triton, built last year at Bristol, is also in Munn’s hands. Her bull is not veing touched, but she is receiving @ couple of new sticks of no mean dimensions, Her masts now measure :—Mainmast, 65 ‘eet; foremast, 62 feet; maintopmast, 29 feet; foretopmast, 28 feet, and Mainvoom, 46 feet. Mer rigging 1s now being stretched and she will appear in an entirely new suit of canvas. The Tritou and Peerless are old antagonists and so closely matched that it is bard to say which will come out apead, The schooner yacht Dauntless is lying at the foot 01 Smith street, South Brooklyn, and being com- pletely overhauled, The Dauntiess was not in commission last season and is now rig, anew | bDowsprit and jipooom. She will spread a new suit of canvass this season and in a breeze of wind will prove a daugerous antagonist to the first class schooners, One of the most important alterations that is now being made in the yacuting tine is the trans- | formation of the sloop Meta tutoa schooner. That change 1s now being effected in Munn’s yard. Fer bull is not to be toucned, and, with the excep- tion of some new cabin arrangements, the only | Change will be the rig.

The committee of the Common Council appointed to extend the city’s welcome to Sir Lambton Lor- Taine, adopted the following resolutions yester- day :— The action of Sir Lambton Lorraine Cuba, in November, 1873, when as Captain of Her Brit- annic Majesty's frigate Niobe he interiered for the pro- tection of the survivors of the Virginius, deserves the Most honorable notice from the authorities of this ef His conduct in this affair was the more praiseworthy De: cause he took on himselt the responsibility of immedi- | ate and vigorous action, and it is gratifying to us to hear | that his conduct was ‘so quickly toliowed by a well- deserved promotion.

Dr. Curry, who yesterday voted for the report of the Committee on Periodicals, having read the HERALD and noticed @ heading that he had been tebuked, deemed it wise to make a speech on this subject, and for this purpose he offered a resolu- tion which recited that in the report on periodicals it was not the design of the Conference to express an opinion on any one of them nor to censure any editor or general Conference officer. The Doctor spoke in defence of his editorial discussions of the questions of the Resurrection and the Episcopacy. The report to which he was speaking, he said, was sprung apon bim, and he knew nothing about it until it was read before the Conference. He did not think this was courteous or honorable for the committee as Christian gentlemen. The Doctor claimed that he had been conservative on all | Kirby, of Rye, undergoing extensive alterations. | questions of doctrine or polity of Method- ism; that he had got into the resurrection discussion thongntlessly in criticising a book, and he got out of it as quickly and as kindly as he could, His theory of the Episcopacy, he contended, was the only one on which that order could be delended; that the defence of the Methodist Episcopacy by Emory and Bangs, was utterly faulty and un- tenable, In this statement tue Bishop presiding and several brethren coincided, Dr. J. W. Beach and Brother Buckley replied to Dr. Curry chiefly on the point of courtesy. The discassion was conducted in the best humor, with here and there the interjection of a textol Scrip- ture, which provoked unrestrained laughter ior the time bee ‘The Stewards reported that they had received $9,151 33 10r THE CONFERENCE CLAIMANTS, and had disbursed $9,050, which, with some small sums lost in bank and @ balance of $44 60 on hand, foots up the aggregate.

We have, a8 the presiding elders say, SIX HOLBS AND SEVEN PEGS to put in them. The Bishop replied that the trouble was not too many pegs, but the pegs are | too big for the holes. (Laughter.) The following brethren were admitted on trial :— Ephraim Watt, Lindway Parker, George Filmer, F, M. Hallock, James Kobingon, Nelson Porter. ‘The name of F.

Of the 11,000 ministers in the Methodist Episcopal Church fully 6,000 of them change every year, and yet last year there were only two churches that refused to take the pastor appointed to them, and ireland, branches of which are established in this Erato, on account of its secret character. The Church as condemned all secret associations and cannot consistently countenance or tolerate this order, known as the Ancient Order of Hibernians, This announcement of the Bishop Catholic community, the order thus virtually con- demned has caused a great sensation in the being here very widespread and vowerful. not one minister resused to accept his appoint- ment. He foungss this wag @ nobie record, and he hoped tt would be better and not worse this year, It was a proo! that God is with the Methodist Epis- copai Church, and he believed these appointments were of God.

The Examination at the Tombs Contihned Be- fore Judge Morgan—Mre, Dr. Uhling, alias Bagnicki, Discharged. The great insurance swindle case was up before Judge Morgan again yesterday afternoon, and oc- cupied the time of the Qourt till four o'clock, when 1t was again adjourned tili Friday at eleven o'clock, Some time before the Judge took his seat, the examination room was crowded. There were present several agents and ofiicers of life insur- ance companies, a number of detectives, among them Detectives Tilly and Heidelburg, who occu- pied seats near the Judge, and eight or ten ele- gantly dressed ladies, who came to see the cofim and the “brick” heroine. As to the accused, they looked as usual. Louisa Germs, the young girl, was always smiling. She watched the lawyers closely, listened to their ar- guments attentively and laughed heartily at tneir jokes. Dr, Ubling, or rather the Chevalier Ernest Bagnicki, was cool and collected, and chatted Pleasantly with Louisa, whose chair was always close to his. The old lady, Mrs, Bagnicki, had the same vacant stare that was noticed from the first, | and she seemed to understand nothing that was | going on around her, Fink, tne undertaker, pre- | sented @ most woebegone appearance, and all his wife’s efforts to console him seemed of little avail. Detective Tilly was the first called to the stand. Mr. Stewart appeared for Mrs, Bagnicki and Mr, Howe for Louisa Germs and the undertaker, Fink. Detective Tilly’s testimony was to the eifect that he had arrested Mrs. Bagnicki, alias Mrs. Dr. STEAM LANES., Action of the Chamber of Commerce. The Bills Pending Betore Congress.

In accordance with these resolutions the follow- ing memorial was forwarded to Congress:— To tne HoNnomasLe tae Senate anp House or Rerae- SeNTATIVES OF THE Unified States Oy Augnica, in Cone GRESS ASSEMBLED :- May it PLease Your Hononaste Bovies—The Chamber State of New York, alarmed by the of Commerce of the increasing frequency of collisions at sea upon the now thickly covered ocean track between the American and European contents, and fully Lanning) this ter- rible danger (which the late sinking of the Ville du Havre in mid-ocean has brought into strong light) can only be diminished by some uniform lation of the great maritime Powers, respectfully prays that your honore- ble bodies will take early mea: to the ostab- lshment of to consider this gi ‘the table ani of the loss of life and property from collisions alone for the past six years. It is not possible, except by long andi dificult research, to arrive at positi still, enough is anown to islation. It is not Propose to Cor gre. ny det jolly avoided.

The directors of the Cunard line, since the 2lst of May, of the present year, have laid down courses for thelr steamers lor the outward ana homeward passages, speci- fying the latitudes at which the meridian of 50 deg. must be crossed. This is a fair beginning in the right direction, but it isnot sufficient tor general courses tor all vessels.. Wide and well-defined tracks shouid be laid down, the: true limits of which, in the opinion of your memorialiata, can be best determined by an international commission, before which ownors of Vessels, ship m: rs and scion. tific ooservers may be heard—to the end that by a thor- ough conference # cordial consent may be nad {in the re- sulting legislation. And for the establishment of such commission, your orial: ay 4 memorialisis will ovet PFTAM E. DODGE, President Gxorcz Witsom, Secretary. New Yous, Dec. 17, 1873. The committee proceeds :— * This memorial was presented to the House on December by the Hon. 3, 5. Cox. membe: 18th ome New Uhling, on Sunday afternoon, at No. 160 Eldridge | street; he there 1ound in her possession a number | of papers, among them a marriage certificate and | agreement, written in German. ‘These papers | Were handed to the Court interpreter, who trans- | lated them for the benefit of the Court. Tne certifl- | Bagnickt wus joined in matrimuny to — Maria Barbara Caroline St. lvanyi, in the congre- | gation of St. Maria Rotunda, Vienna, and this locument was sealed with the seal of the church and signed #:anz Bludech, priest. Mrs, Unling swore to this document as being her | Marriage certificate, and, on motion of ner coun- = | sel, Mr. Stewart, Judge Morgan discharged her | trom turther custody, on the foun that being proved to be the wife of Dr. Uhling, alias Ernest Bagnicki, she was not amenable for what she might have to do with the case, acting, as presumed, under duress. Mr. Howe then demanded the discharge of his clients—first, on the ground that on tue papers sub- | mitted to the Cour: there was really uo legal | policy was void because an insurance company and re- | new that were not the person delivering tne _ polic; ceiving the money therefor Dr. bling and Loulsa Germs married. The policy of the imsurance | company, for which a premium of $400 was paid, | being null and void, a0 initio; and the company | Knowing it, they were legally as guilty of an at- | tempt to defraud as the people whom they were se to prosecute, r. Taylor, the Secretary of the company, was eXamined, and Mr. Taber, the special agent, at great length told the story o! his search | after the body oi Louisa Germs, and bow he iound the undertaker, Fink, at No, 67 First avenue, and showed hum the order trom the Brooklyn Board of Health to have the cofin exhumed; how he waited for Fink to go to Union Cemecery, he then re- cited a list of excuses lor delay t Fink made. During this recital Louisa smiled at the witness, and once or twice hid her face in her hands as if to suppress her laughter. Mr. Taber explained the couiession that Fink made to him in Police Head- quarters when taxed with being particeps crimi- nis tn the plot to deiraud the company. At this | point Mr. Howe called ou Judge Morgan to protect. the prisoner, as confessions extorted Irom prison- er while under duress, with no lawyer to consult, were not evidence, and should not be used against im, ‘ RIS Taber, however, was allowed to finish his tes- ony. Mr. Bollet, the agent through whom tne policy was procured, described the several visits of Dr. Uhling and Louisa Germs to him when the policy was first pfocured. He said they were always to- gether and both were examined by the physician attached to tne Merchant’s Insurance Company anda physician of another company and pro- nounced sound in vody and mind and Atting suo- jects ior insurance, The records of the company were pro- duced, showing that a joint §=policy ior Dr. Unhiing and Louisa Germs, for $10,000, the soney to go to either survivor, was signed and de- livered on the 19th day of July, 1373. Mr. Bollet further testified that on the 26th of March Dr. Unling came to him with tears in his eyes and told him that Louisa was dead. A few days afterwards the aMdavits (which have already been published) describing the nature of her compiaint, its treat- ment, the opinion 0: ber physicians, &c., were pre- sented to the office and also a@ certificate of uer death and burial. A jormal demand tor the $10,000 was then made on tne oilice, Mr. Bollet suspected something Wrong, and jollowed the case. He saw Dr. Kurtz, Dr. Wiegart and Dr. Kantrowitz, all of whom were said by Dr. Uhling to have seen and treated Louisa. The statements of these phy reed, but suspicion becoming still stronger Mr. William Taber, the special agent, was detailed by the company to work up the case with the foregoing result. Connsel objected to the ad- mission of portions of Bollet's testimony, and, at | its conclusion, Judge Morgan adjourned the fur- ther hearing of the case till Friday, at eleven o'clock. Dr. Uhling, Louisa and Undertaker Fink were again remanded to the Tembs. “QORONERS’ GASES. Death of a Hotel Keeper in the Tombs. Coroner Woltfan was yesterday called to the Morgue to hold an inquest on the body of George W.

His remains wili be taken to Hempstead for interment, 5 a! Killed by a Fall. Henrietta Sheppard, a child two years of age, ‘whose parents live at 26 Charles street, died yea- terday trom the effects of injuries to the head caused by an accidental fall on Saturday last. Coroner Kickhof will hold an inquest. Yesterday afternoon James Dunbar, @ man who lived at 150th street and Ninth avenue, fell from @ butiding and was instantly killed. Coroner Kickhoff will hoid an inquest, A LIGHTER UPSET. The lighter Hiram, laden with hemp, was upset yesterday morning of the Navy Yard. She is the roperty of John Sewell, of No, 12 01d slip. The bargo vas saved and ats Vousel tawed into the cob dock, | with the object proposed, on the part of membei York, ordered to be printed and referred to tee oh Commerce; and on the 19th to Hon. Roscoe Conkling, senator from this State, ferred to the Senate Commitee on Commit. at such docu- ments shall pass to committees only through the Clerk. From this and numerous other expressions of sy: be houses, and trom the general approval of the intelligent press, your committee have reason to believe that thi brayer of the meunorial will be heard with /avor by Col grew at an early day, and meet the favor of the country. Your committee have had ander consideration the second branch of the subject—“the use of electric end other lights” upon steamers and seagoing vessels—and Feapectfully report: ‘There is not, and never has been. any doubt as to the reat advantage of a Rowerrul Lent upon steamers and large sailing vessels, both as regards their own safety and that of other and smaller craft, with which they are in danger of collision. These advantages are in direct ratio to the power of the light. By its use the danger of collision will be greatly diminished, it not wholly avoided, and the means of safety in case of other and un- foreseen accidents be also greatly increased. A con: eration of the two terrible accidents of the past Fé resulting in the total loss of two of the largest and | steumships on the ocean, with several hundred passen- Kers and crew, the one, the Atlantic, by shipwreck Od the northern coast, the other, the Ville du Havre, by col rg eee sea, Clearly establishes the correctness ot $ opinion. An the case of the Atlantic, out of her course and driven by storm upon an unknown coast, it is more than Probable that the power of # strong light, bringing into view the coast line, might have sufficed to warn the officer in charge of the near danger in time tor him to have steered Clear of the rocks Res swhich the vessel was stranded; but even if this had not been the case, tt can- not be denied that the results of the shipwreck would have been much less fatal. Many lives were lost in the darkness which could, no doubt, have been saved in the close proximity of the vessel to the shore, before it pec went down. With proper fight the con! would have been less and a communication with land have probably been establisned. And in the case of the Ville du Havre, though the catastrophe itself might not have been avoided. which is net probabie, had a brilliant light shown the steamer's course the chances of escape would have been immeas- urably increased, SENATOR CONKLING’S BILL lon the | for the Regulation of Ocean Travel, The following is the full text of the bill intro~ duced by Mr. Conkling to-day, looking to greater salety in ocean travel:— Be itenacted, &c., That the President shall nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate appoilit a commissioner on the part of the United States to meet with such other commissioners as may be ap- pointed by the maritime Powers of Europe, to frame Such international laws and regulations as may seem adequate to secure increased safety to ocean travel, by the laying down of ocean courses for inward ‘and. our- ward passages, suinmer and winter, of steam vessels; or the enforced use of electric and ovher lights upon all steam vessels crossing the North Atlantic or other fog Jatitudes, and the requirement of suMcient raft accom- modations on all iron steamers, for the safety of life, in cases Of disaste at the compensation of such commis- Smcrion 2.: sioner shall be ——.
