| In behalf of the Committee
! WIN. BAcoN STEVENS Chairman
| Each resolution was considered saparatalY
! oh the iirst, the question was divided and the
/ portions relating to Japan and Brazil were
aaop.ed without discussion. With regard to
| tne expansion of missionary operations in
emma, considerable debate occurred
Mr. Stanley, OF Cal. gave the results of his
own observation among the Chinese. On one
| occasion he looked into a small build,n o occu. .
| pied by the Presbyterian mission. and saw
| only about twelve assembled most of whom
| apparently knew nothing of what was going
on. he thought the work at home should be.
attended To before going TO China and japan
DIR. Stevens replied. and was followed by
Mr.. Newton, OF Mass, in support of the reso-
luton.
DR.. Mead. of Conn. read from the Constitu-
tion of the Board of Missions, to show that all
action must originate with the Board
Judge Storer, of Ohio, said he cared not what
the law or the constitution might be; when
| missionary work was proposed, it found in
his heart kindred echo. The only way to
convert the heather is to send missionaries
among them. He agreed with the gentleman
from Massachusetts,, that had nothing to tlo
ed us todo. He would in few hours retire
beyond the mountains, and wished to carry
with him the impression that this Convention
is determined to perseyere in this great work
The speaker said that, few days ago because
he expressed an honest sen timent of his heart
he was treated uncourteously-no by the
Convention, but by others. He always stood
upon his manhood, and never Welded when
his conscience assured him he was right He
had been long in the Church. and loved it,
God was with 1t, and 1t prsspered in eonse-
! Quence
| Judge S. closed with an allusion to the peeu-
liar ins titutions of the South in respect 10
which doubtless many had come here with i'm
proper ideas. He believed the whole country
was but type of the Church. In the section
from which he came a mighty river flowed,
which mingled with other gushing streams
poured into the Father of Waters, and thence to
the Gulf. AT the other extremity, the ST. Law
renee supplied by tributary streams, flowed
into the ocean, and thus all is one great upion
-Juncta in Una. What God hath Joined to-
gether, let no man put asnnder. He said this
of his country, and this of his Church
Mr.. Hill, of Cal, alluded to the expressions
uttered by his colleague, (Mr. Stanley) and
said 1T was not surprising, because he had seen
things through the same medium and lad be-
| lieyed that it was almost useless to expend
money the Chinese mission. But on hear
ing the views of the Lay Delegate from Della
| ware, Capt. Dupont, u. S. NJ the other night
his feelings underwent complete change, and
was satisfied that the door was open TO sue
cess. He hoped, however, the Church in Cali
fornia would not be neglected
DIR. Hawks thought the last remark might be
| construed as reflection upon the Domestic
Committee, who were really doing all they
| could Two clergymen We're now on the way
| TO California, and more would be sent if they
| could be had.
Mr. Hill disayowed any inten ton to cast re-
Election on the committee.
| Some remarks We're made by Judge Conrad;
| after which Capt. Dupont gave 4 most inter-
| esting statement of his observations in China
| and a Sandwich md thao
| couraging results that had followed missiona-
| ry operations. DIR. Vinton and DIR. Stevens of
Pa. also made eloquent addresses on the same
| topic.
Rev. T. r. Hanson, of Alabama. who went
| TO China, years ago, as q missionary, but was
| driven away, spoke of the great change that
has since taken place. DIR. Minnigerode and
Rev. Mr.. Guon also addressed the House.
Mr.. Stanley called attention to the fact that
this Church has but eight clergymen in the
discharge of active duty in California, while
| the Merhodists have l65. We expend abou t
$1,000 per annum, while they expend $4,000.
lie did not wish to oppose China, but thought
| start should be made nearer home.
Dr. Stevens said the missionary operations
| In CHINA had been already expanded. They
only wanted the approval of the House
After some farther debate, the resolution
was adopted also. the second. third, fourth,
| fifth, sixth and seventh.
The preamble and resolution appended led
TO good deal of debate, in the course of which
the Rev E. NJ p. Wells, ID. d., of Mass. made
mosteloquent address, respecting his own
experience of the Intolerance of the authori-
ties IN Cuba. A great diversity of opinion
however, prevailed in the House, on the pro
prety OF memorialiZing the President and
pending the discussion the House adjourned
| EvADING THE OCTRoI.-It is not very long
since clever attempt was detected by the yici-
lance OF the officers of the octroi. Respectable
| looking carriage, drawn by Il pair of horses
used to go out at the Barriere de Fontaine-
bIeau every afternoon, containing one or two
persons. and with livery servant standing

vehicle would return about dusk, apparently

party pursued their way unmolested. This

coaehman, whose won't it was to whip up his
horses, and drive off at rapid pace :-"Halte
