A SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT Church
of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn. over which Rev.
DR.. Storrs is the settled pastor, is one of the
oldest, largest, and most influential churches
of the Congregational denomination in this
vicinity. 1t has also, as a whole, hitherto
been considered as occupying middle ground
on the subject of Slavery. On Thursday
evening last, at the annual meeting for the
election Of officers, and other business, the
question came up for arranging for the month
ly collections of the Church for various be-
nevolent objects, among which was the Amer
lean Tract Society. After a somewhat pro-
tracted discussion in which the pastor and one
tFrO Or t1IU pr1nCIpaI Iaymen of the church
participated, it was decided to take up no col
lection for the American Tract Society the
present year. DR.. Storrs embraced the op-
portunity to say that he would not by word
or deed indorse the management of that in
stitution until it changed its policy on the
slavery question. He showed its inconsis-
tency in publishing tracts on dancing, horse
racing, gambling, drinking, tobacco-c chewing,
and smoking, while it not only refused 10
speak out plainly on the great sin of slavery,
but actually mutilated some of the best pub.
LEGATIONS of the English language in order to
please the South. The discussion was inter
esting and instructive, and the result Of the
vote gave satisfaction to majority Of the.
members present. The step taken by this
church will doubtless be followed by hundreds
of others, and the time, it is to be hoped, is
not far distant when the public sentiment of
every Christian denomination in the free
States will be as plainly expressed as in the
Church of the Pilgrims at Brooklyn.-N. 7.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE ANTHONY BuRNs
CAsE.--In the Supreme judicial Court on
Monday, Chief Justice Shaw and associate
Judges Metcalf, Merrick, and Thomas. OF the
supreme Court on the bench, THE hearing in
the case of VIM. II. Ella, of Roxbury, vs. ex-
Mayor j. Y. c. Smith, Major General B. F.
Edmands, U. S. Marshal Watson Freeman.
and Capt. I. H. Evans, of the Boston Artil-
lery, was commenced. G. NJ. Ellis, ESQ, ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and for the respond
ents appeared Hon. Rufus Choate, Hon. b.
+. Hallett, and Hon. George S. billiard 1t
will. be remembered that on the dav of the
rendition Of Burns, June 2, 1854, Ella, who
was at that time in the employ of Charles
Marsh, an apothecary of Roxbury, was sent
to the city to purchase bottle of iudelble
ink, and after procuring it, he went down
State street, while in the vicinity OF Loifg
wharf, after Burns had passed. an assault it
is alleged, was made by the military upon Ella
with their muskets and swords, W hich was
the more severe from the fact that the bottle
held in Elias hands was supposed 10 contain
vitliol instead of ink. Ella was taken into
custody, ironed, and carried to the station.
house, whence, after examination, he was,
late in the day, released. The assault, it is
alleged, injured his faculties, and he claims
damages of the respondents to the amount of
twenty thousand dollars. The question for
the Court to decide is, whether the action of
Mayor Smith in calling out the troops was le-
gal, and consequently whether those who act
ed under these orders, were justified in doing
what they did.-~BostoR Courier.
