sembly yesterday morning resumed the unfinished
business Of the day before, the discussion of the
subject of Church Extension and prolonged speech
es were made by Rev. DR.. THogNwELt, Of South
Carolina, Rev. DR.. KRrBs, of New York, and Rev.
DR.. PLUMMER, Of Allegheny city. The latter gen.
tlemen had the door, when the Assembly took a
recess for dinner.
In the evening the Moderator announced the
death of Rev. DR.. PHILIP LINDSEY, a member of
the Assembly, and DR.. Jackson offered resolutions
providing that the body ofthe deceased be brought

at A. NJ. this morning, and that the Assembly
in body attend the funeral; and that the Assem-
bly, when it adjourned last evening, adjourn to 10
A, N. to-day, which resolutions were adopted

committees, the Assembly resumed the eonsidera-
tion of the unfinished business and Dr. Pmmer
concluded his remarks, and was followed by Or.

and sustained, and the question taken on the mo-
ton to re-commit the report of the committee,
with instructions to report in favor of establishing
Church Extension Board, which question was de-
cided in the negative, yeas l02, nays log. The
question then came up on the adoption of the re-
port Of the committee, and Rev. DR.. Boardman oc-
cupied the balance Oft the evening session, not hav-
ing concluded when the hour Of adjournment ar
rived.
The action Of the Assembly in regard to the
death OF DR.. LINDSEY was reconsidered, and the
time for the funeral services changed to Monday
morning, on account of the fact recently made
known that the widow of the deceased was on her
way to the city.
The Assembly adopted the report Of the commit
