ATTEMPT TO Ron A SAVINGS IssTITU-
TIoS.-A correspondent of the Gardiner Jour
nal says, an attempt was made to rob the Saw
ings' Institution in Hallowell, in the Office of
II. X Baker. Esq, between the hours of one
and three O'Clock on Saturday morning. The
thieves we're successful in blowing open the
door of the safe, but found nothing within TO
reward their labors-the valuables of the bank
being deposited in the vault OF the American
Bank. The rogues were evidently highly ac-
complshed in their business, for they took out
the windows # the office, and also the glass
doors of the secretary, to prevent their being
broken by the explosion, and deposited them
in an adjoining closet. The books and papers
of Mr. Baker and the Institution, were found
piled upon the floor of the office, having evil
IDENTIFY, been carefully looked over. The re-
port of the explosion was heard by several
persons living in the vicinity, but, thinking
some boys had undertaken to celebrate in adj
vance, the Fourth, took no further notice OF
the matter, till next morning, when they heard
OF the attempt at robbery.

Ecclesiastical.

A council called by the Third Parish Church
10 consider the expediency of installing Rev.
j. L. Walton as Pastor over that church and
society, convened yesterday afternoon in the
yestrylof the church. Rev. DIR. Carruthers
was elected Moderator, and Rev. Mr.. Tuks-
bury, d the West Fad Chapel, Scribe. After
prayer by the moderator and the reading of
the proceedings of the church, which resulted
in giving Rev. Mr.. Walton call, also the let
tiers missive, calling the council for the pur-
pose of installing him, the examination of the
candidate was proceeded with.
The examination was conducted mainly by
Rev. Drs. Carruthers, Dwight and Chickering,
other members Of the council. 1t was a rigid
examination Of the candidate as to his relig-
ious experience and his doctrinal views. Dur
ing the hour and a half we were present, we
thought Rev. Mr.. Walton sustained himself in
an admirable manner. After the examination
was over the council met In secret session to
consult upon the subject
The hour fixed for the installation was 1 2
o'clock In the evening, and at that time hun
dreds had gathered at or near the church,
which, to their surprise, was not open. 1t was
soon noised round that no installation would
take place, the council having unanimously
voted that the examination was unsatisfac
tory, and that II was inexpedient to proceed
with the installation. Great excitement pre-
vailed among those gathered, and the matter
was talked over, in squads, until late hour in
the evening.
The council assembled again in the evening
to draw up their report, which was presented
to the committee OF the church. A church
meeting is TO be held this evening to take the
report into consideration.
We were unable TO obtain copy of the re-
port Of the council giving their reason for de-
cliniDg to proceed to the installation of Rev.
Mr.. Walton, as it was thought best not TO
make 1t public until the church had acted up
on it. But we understand that the declina-
ton is based upon doctrinal points, and there
is nothing to affect the moral or religious
character Of the gentleman.
This is the first case of this kind that has
ever occurred in our city As may well be
supposed, IL created considerable excitement
and talk last evening.

Martha Washington Society and the Soldiers

Martha washington Society and the Soldiers.
This well known and popular Society has,
ever since the commencement of the rebellion,
devoted itself with untiring energy, to work
ing for the soldiers. 1t meets every week to
make up garments for this noble purpose, and
the good they have thus accomplished is al
most incaleulable.
Ia addition to this, they are accustomed,
every few weeks, to send boxes OF needed ar
ticles to the Naval Academy Hospital, at An
napolis, Md, for the sick and wounded SOL
diers there. That these articles are highly
appreciated may be seen by the following in
teresting letter from the lady in charge, to
Mrs. Benjamin Kingsbury, the President of
the Society. 1t is written In acknowledgment
of the late remittances
NAVAL ACADEMY HOSPITAL,
ANNAPOLIS, June 20, 1864
Ny Dear Mrs. Kingsbury:-Two boxes and
two barrels from your Society, came to US to-
day, and l assure you were most acceptable.
The crackers are greatly needed as well, also,
as the clothes. Our section has recently been
flled with badly wounded men. During one
week thirty-one have died and many more
must give their lives. Oh, 1t has been most
fearful; our hearts and hands have been, and
still are fun. Truly, we know there is more
In war than the .rallying round the flag
We are in constant need OF stores of all de-
scriptions-the consumption being very large.
Through our dear Miss Pearson we are in
debted to your Society for many comforts,
and assure you the ladies of Portland will
not soon be forgotten. either by US or their suf
fering friends-the soldier boys.
In my tent hangs a beautiful flag quilt,
which was made by very patriotic lady,
am sure, Mrs. Samuel r. Leayitt) aud which
Is admired by all who are pleased to call upon
us. We thought 1t would show to better ad-
vantage by hanging ii where all could see aud
admire 1t; although believe the makers re-
quest was that it be put upon bed. 1t is too
handsome TO be soied as easily as it would
be there, and assure you, it is great orna-
ment to our little tent.
In behalf OF my boys, receive and extend to
your Society, my warmest thanks for their
timely donation, and may God bless them
while laboring thus for the brave, suffering
ones OF our land.
Hoping TO hear from you again, | am in sim
cerity, your friend and co-worker,

The cause of the suspension OF habeas cor

enforcing the draft, and particularly in the en-

The Tribune's correspondent of Texas says
the Granite City and Wave were only captur-

fence.
Instead OF Mr.. Sturgis, OF the New London,
being killed, it was Mr.. Jackson, the execu-
tive officer. The pilot and boats crew of the
New London were captured. Our killed and
wounded was about thirty, and that Of the
rebels about twenty.
