friends of peace, by cheerealapping aLhands, and
stamping of feet. Bishop Scott, who presided,
was scandalised at the unseemliness of this be-
haviour, and informed the members that such
manifestations were not appropriate either to
themselves or to the occasion. The Rev. Mr.
Foster asked if the Bishop alluded to the clap-
ping
of hands ? The Bishop replied in the
affirmative. Mr. Foster seemed to think the bishop
was wrong, for he declared that " on the great event
of his life—on the day when he was converted to
Jesus he arose and clapped his hands unto the Lord."
The Conference applauded as loudly as before; some
one cried out " Glory to God," and Mr. Foster sat
down, all appearance, discomfited the
bishop,ow, h
and having,
ng, to
carried off the honours of the discussion*
n
The Rev. Dr. Osborne, of White Blains, said that
during the last year his mind had been in a constant
state of anxiety about his beloved country. He
had to contend against a great deal in his district,
for the infamous Copperheads were as thick as
blackberries, and he often felt as if he would like
thrashing a man to be a Christian virtue, that ho
might have the privilege of digging into such fel-
lows." Here was loud laughter from the reverend
auditory as well as a fluttering of fans in the galle-
ries. Encouraged by this, Dr. Osborne went on to
say, " that if he were President Lincoln, instead of
suspending the writ of Habeas Corpus he would
suspend the Copperheads." The delight of the Con-
ference at this burst of wit, patriotism, liberality,
and mercy, having once again manifested itself by
clapping, stamping, and shouting, the presiding
bishop ventured to make a second remonstrance.
"He approved," he said, "of the resolutions, but
not of the clapping of hands and the stamping of
feet. The ministers ought not to forget their own
sacred character or the proprieties of the occasion.
If they wished to express their approval, let them
say, Amen ! till they raised the very roof above
them ; hat let them remember above all things that
they were clergymen." 7138 Rev. Mr. Foster, thn
same who had "clapped his hands unto the Lord,'
said that the South bated the Yankees, despised,
scorned, and held them in ridicule, and he for one
hoped that the war would go on until such hellish,
devilish ideas were whipped out of the people of
the Southern States. To accomplish that object he
did not care if the war went on for one, two, or tea
years." A second Mr. Foster, recently from New
Orleans, where he had acted as chaplain to a regi-
ment, complained of the ladies of that city, who
insulted every Yankee they met in the streets,
sometimes crossing on the other side to show their
contempt. The common cry among them was,
" Take care of your pockets, here's a Yankee
coming." "He wanted that feeling whipped out of
the Southern people by shot and shell." The Rev.
I. R. Wakeley informed the Conference that " the
proper way to treat a Copperhead was to stamp your
heels on him." Suiting the action to the word he
stamped his foot violently on the floor, amid im-
mense applause of clapping, but not of Amens, suc-
ceeded by peals of laughter and a titter from the
galleries, when the Rev. Mr. Fox, apostrophising
the pantomimist, said, " Brother Wakeley, you
almost made a hole in the floor that time !" Up to
this point there had been perfect unanimity in the
meeting, with the slight exception of the Bishop's
mild remonstrances in favour of clerical propriety
but as soon as the votes were taken by yeas and nays
on the several resolutions appended to the report a
difference of opinion began to display itself. Two
gentlemen of New York, the Rev. Messrs. Cattell
and Setlek, objected to endorse or approve the Pre-
sident's Proclamation of Emancipation and the pro.
vocation to a war of races involved in it, and ex-
pressed their dissent with such a loud and emphatic
"No !" that the Conference was startled. Cries were
raised that Mr. Cattell should explain himself and
Prove his loyalty. Amid much interruption, hisses,
and cries of "Sit down," "You're not loyal," he pro-
ceeded to explain that he loved the Union that he
was a Puritan of the old Massachusetts stock, and
that he was as loyal as any of them, but that "he
would not swallow their resolution on slavery, or
ever give up the right of free speech," By this
time the hour of adjournment had arrived, the reso-
lutions were carried, and the clerical brawlers dis-
persed. If the ideas they expressed be the Gospel
of the North, and they its recognised tecobers, the
North may have a religion, but it is not Christianity
or anything like it.

THE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.

Yesterday-, the Liverpool borough coroner ro•
sumed tLe inquest on the body of the young woman,
Eliza Jones, who was murdered by a young man
named Pennington, a sailor, who had been keeping
company with the deceased for about four years.
The facts of the case are these :—On Thursday
evening last the murderer, Pennington, went to the
residence of deceased's mother, in Earl-street, off
Great Homer-street, and after staying some time he,
in company with his sweetheart, left for the pur-
pose of going to a singing saloon, in Williamson-
square, kept by a man named Goodburn. It appears
that deceased and Pennington reached Goodburn's
at about ten o'clock at night, and entered the sing-
ing saloon, where Pennington had something to
drink. Whilst there Pennington had occasion to go
to the bar, and when there he complained to Good-
burn that " she (meaning the deceased) was making
it up with some other chap." The barkeeper states
that Pennington appeared greatly excited at the
time, and Gd

Infirmary. Goodburn hearing of this went at once
to the infirmary, and there identified deceased as
the woman who had been with Pennington at the
singing house. The mother of the murdered girl
stated that on Thursday evening last Pennington
came to her house and asked for Eliza. He stayed
some time, and then left with her daughter

der against John Penningte.n," and a warrant WEIS
at once issued for his apps hension. Sir George
Grey, we understand, is about- to grant a reward for
the apprehension of the murderer.
