" ALEXANDRIA CANAL.-Thc people Of
Georgetown seem to be perfectly satisfied,
:iasing from the following item from that city,
?at the Alexandria Canal is eifectually closed.
AS bridges seem to be the subject that most
interests our people at present, VIC arc glad to
announce that the repairs on the bridge across
ine canal, at the Aqueduct, are completed and
enc tTaye! fully resumed. Although the pre-
len: structure is perfectly safe now, it is liable
Il cny lime to be damaged and made unsafe by
canal boats running against the posts that sup
bort it, and as it is settled question thai the
Acueduct is to be used hereafter only as a
bridge, we hope that ere loog the proper aI-
tDc?ities will cause to be built good and sub
5.an:i2l bridge across the canal.

MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.

NEW JERSEY CoNFERENCE-SEcoND
DAY,-The Conference was called to order at 81
O'Clock on this morning, by Bishop Scott,
when portion of Scripture (Romans Kill was
read, hymn sung, and the usual prayer given.
Calling OF the roll was dispensed with. Minutes
read and approved.
Rev. DR.. Strong, member of the Laym5n's
Convention, was Introduced, and read a state
ment on Lay Delegation, which was quite in
teresting, and which elected considerable dis
cussion. 1t was stated that the General Confer.
enoe were willing to admit Lay Delegations
when properly satisfied on the subject.
DIR. Porter, who represents the Book Depart-
ment, was introduced.
DR.. Winner made some pertinent remarks in
reply to Mr.. Strong, in reference to lay member
ship in the General Conference. He said that
years ago, the General Conference had taken a
vote upon that question, and had expressed an
opinion adverse to admission. The Doctor was
willing to meet delegations of laymen from any,
where, discuss the question with them In an
open field, and "hog them ALL"
DIR. Porter, of New York, made strong and
powerful areument against the admission of lay
representation, citing the agitation on the same
subject which led to the formation OF the organi-
zatlon of the Methodist Protestant Church,
several ears since. He was willing to refer the
Nhole subject 10 decision OF the people, or the
members OF the Church. lnclldiug the ladies, to
ray whether they are willing to make so import
ant an alteration In the government OF the
Church, instead of by obtaining an expression
by petition. DR.. Porter's remarks were favor
ably received, and very often met win cons-
derable applause.
He wished TO keep the Church, which had run
for hundred years, together, and work in per-
feet harmony. viii the brethren keep IL run
ming another hundred wears He wanted to die
in the Chureh-it was the best in the world, and
he wanted no alteration IN its government
The Stewards Call" was made the order for
10 O'Clock, and at the arrival of that hour the
Conference went into the disposition of that
Eusiness. The different districts were called,
and the amounts assessed against each were
named, and the respective sums were reported
raised with few exceptions. Some disuIcts and
churches raised IN Jre than the anlounts as
sessed
The moneys thus raised we're for The purpose
OF aiding the superanuated members of the Con-
ference who had been worn out in the ministe-
nal service. This collection and assessment are
made every year, and amount, in the aggregate,
10 handsome sum-
