GENERAL CONVENTION or THE Ngw CHURCH.
Thi. body met yesterday momng and continued the
reading Of Reports and Communications from different
quarters relating the progress Of the Doctrines OF the
Church including the Reports Of the Boston Society
and the Massachusetts Association. Perhaps The most
interesting Of these documents from the Sweden
borg Association OF London This society has been
established for something more than year not for d.
rectly theological religious purposes, but 10 open TO
the world and build up still farther that vast body OF
truth in the natural sciences contained 10 the Phosoph

tanned by the Association thought 10 be most encour

the works in which this body Of science is contained

EXTRA OFFICIAL VIGILAScE-The police of
the various Wards arc unnecessarily busying them
selves in ordering the removal of articles from the
streets causing great annoyance TO citizens in small
matters which public convenience requires should be
tolerated There sre doubtless many cases Of the oc
cupaney Of the streets with signs sheds and boxes.
which should be rerneded but in the exercise Of the
power given by the Corporation Ordinances a sound
discretion should b. exercised by the officers and the
LAYS which made tor the public benefit should not
be made the preiext for indiscrninate prescription
We believe that In many the officers have exceed
ed the Instructions received from the heads Of Depart

to make the execution Of the Ordinances unnecessarily
