Dr. Eigen- Drodt supported the resolution showing that it ofi2u oecurred that matters of the greatest moment were first brought to notice oo the eve of the Geveral Couvention, and it would be u great advantage if the delegates to it should be elected with spec yeforenco to them. The amendment was referied to the Committee on Canons. ‘The Rov. Mr. Paddock of BrooNyn offered a reeolution to swmend the Cauon referriog to the Missionary Committee, so that that Committee should be composed of fifteen instead of ten members.

It was their duty to present the gospel to the poor. Now what bad the churches done to discharge thatduty. Much had been done. In this city there was a crowing soheitnde that those who stood first in the esteem of Yar Lord should not be last in the estimation of the church. The institution of the church, and the untold private eflorts, all testified that the church was not unminafel of ber duties. But wuch remained to be done; and much of what bad been done was accomplished without any regard to Chiristian effort and influence. In some instances there was no room for the poor in the cburches, and the pastors were too mach absorbed with the labors among their own flock to look after strangers aud bring them lovingly to the Gospel. Of course it was well to bave a parish built up and strengthencd, but there t be in some m a refined egotism of religion. These people way be 100 content with their own privileges to insugurate un effort to extend them to others, There were parishes where the members were wealthy, but wbere they made no arrangements for mivistrations to the poor. If such }-unrh\*s really cared for thelr own comfo and wel are, he really did not know what they could say for themselves. The Bishop then referred to a village where a largo portion o | the population were withoat the regular ministration and servions of the church, 1f they went to thot wwould find a respectable congregation. If they e prosence of a few Jight and frivolous people, if 1 some music which Le'could have wighed were dri fire and sword—there was o gweat deal In that bod, mend itself, Bat suddeuly they might hear some o gregation say that they were going on contentedly, while the, never looked after the poor.

The rules the Base Ball Association waking it obligstory that only the winning of two games out of three sk X the successtal clab to the honors of the champic .ml.nuny ersons were under the impression that as the Eurekas had ten the Atiantics so badly in the first contes: thavthey ot administer a defeat in the seoond, thi rying of the flgs. Dat it was not to be. Both clubs played vell; and, a8 usual, when they play with first-class clabs, the Atlan- tics were pehind in the first few innings. But the dld saying, that they never commenced to play till they were near their seventh innings, was verified yestorday, for in that ioning tae contest was decided. The game, antil then, wax a close one and played well by both claba, aud, indeed, aft hat the Eurckas made strong eflorts to win, but withoat a! At 3 o'clock the geme was called, the Atlantics going to the bat. By seven wuffs of the Eareka boys, who played mther timidly, they scored five befors being pat out. By rathor poor hat and the excellent fi:lmnf of the Atlaatics. the Furckas suffered discouragement in being pat out with blank. i reachied his first, Stark put Calloway out; Brentnal aud ultimately bis third; Faitoute suffered at the Londs of Pratt, and Mils at the lands ol Craue, closing the innings and leaving Brentuall on tie third. But with defeat came determination,and when the Atlantics opeued the second fanings with Pierce n oway o like 0on took bis foul ball on the first bound. S e bapman strock 11, which Brientnall treated in like way. would have been out but forabad fhrow to first by Terrell. Crano then struok but Terreil put tho ball to first, putting the side out for & blank. This SO cpcourage- meut for the Eurekss, which was increased whea Thomas sent a safs one to rigut, 0o which e made bis first. Osborne sent a grounder to cente Geld, which took Thomas to third and gave him a chance to get to the first, Lex sent afly to Galvin which was nicely eaught, but betore it was put to base Thomas came howe aud Osborne reacoed his third. Torrell followed and eent & hall to Pieroe, who put bim out. Osborue, however, got fn. Ford then took the bat aud sent a bail, which first went to Ferguson and then to Start before the striker reached the first. 1he third ionings commenced for the Atlantics by Galvin at the bat, He seut u nice grounder to the leit. and ou it made Lis first. Pratt by a good ball to right field put him ou the second—an over-pitch of Lex brought Galvin bome and put Pratt on tho second, Mi.ls went out at the hands of Thomas, McDonald followed at the bapds of Mills, and Ferguson by Thomas. This put the side ont, leaving Pratton the third base.

He pretended to, be connecred with Tar TRILUNE (the paper Knows him not, however), and deronoced vengeance through its columns fory his having received uo favor above passengers who came firel,. The quarrel waxed Lottt s the vessel neared the port.

This, of course, led to avery sipd search, which resalted in finding notking whatever liabie ta duty. A blustering official th empted to frighten i lady into the surrender of “them dinwonds,” She pereei he had been boaxed by a filsehood, and told him so.
