PROT. EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
aiitj-'^ixth Annual Convention of the Diocese
of Nev?-*orfe.Becobo Day?Sept 26.
The severe ttorm of yesterday morning prevented
ibe tjenerai attendance of membors until some time
after the conclusion of Morning service.
liev. Mr. Appleton of Delhi, and Rev. Mr. Dan
can of East Chester, read Morntog Prayer.
Tbe Convention was called to order at 10 o'clock
??Dr. Ckf.igiiton in tho Chair.
Kev. Dr. Haight called Ibr the presentation of
the Credentials of members newly arrived. A
number were presented.
The Minute? of the firstly wore read and ap?
proved.
The Committee on '.be Incorporation of
Churches made their Report through tho Chair 1
man, Hon. Bamue! Jones 1'ho Committee report
ed that they lr*d examined the Certificates sub?
mitted to them, and found that tho foliowiug
Churches had been regularly incorporated accord- 1

St. faul'? Church, Brooklyn.
Cburcb of tin Holy Spirit, H-mdoiit, l ister Co.
Calvary Church, Burnt Hill, Saiato^a Co.
am Saints' Church, Milton.
Those Churches were therefore severally receiv?
ed by the Convention.
The Committee reported that the Certilicates of
tbe Church of the holy Innocents at, Albany, a id
of the Church, of the. Holy Innocents at Cornwall,
were defective in form. Thtso Churches we*e,
with that of St. Mark's, Isltp, therefore not re?
ceived.
colored churches.
Mr. Jav then brought up tho case of tho Colored
Churches of St. Philip and the Messiah, and dep
reoated the former action of the Committee on the
Incorporation of Churches, in refusing them admis?
sion to tho Convention. Colored Churches had
been admitted in Rhode Island, hi New-Jeriey,
and elsewhere. He thought it tho duty of this Con?
vention to meet the caao before thorn fairly, and '
urged the Christian obligation of the Churoh lo re
ceive their colored brethren Into fellowship. Mr. Jay
reviewed thegeneral merits of the oase. Haolaimed '
admission for ail colored Churches which bad been
duly organized and were qualified under the Consti?
tution of tho Convention?-without any in juiry as t j
social inequalities. He read extracts from the
Prayers of tho Church, and drow a comparison be- :
twe'en the sentiments of the Prayer Book, com?
prising tbe great principles of the Church, and the
practice which precludes true Christian fellowship.
Wo should drive no sheop from our fold which de
aira to ettor. It would be a base surrender of our J
principles, of our faitb in the atabi'ity of the .
Church, to foar the voice of the world. Let us
shako from us all unhi.ly'influences, und stand erect \
as Christians. Let us receive these parishes to
our Convention; let us welcome them as Christ?
ians should welcome Christian brethren. He in?
quired whether the resolution of the majority of
the Committee (prepared iu a negative form, deuy
ing the application oi the Churches,) was not now
betoro the Convention for its actiou 7
An animated scene ensued upon the introduction
of this vexed >iuesiion
Mr. Hakison demanded that the motion of the
gentleman bo roduced to writing.
Mr. Jav asked the opinion of the Chair.
The C.'tAiR had not decided, when
Mr. Hakiso? again hoped that if the matter
were taken up, some time would be allowed for
members to prepare themselves.
The Chair expressed the opinion that the Con?
vention upuid not take up unfinished business
which had so long passed unnoticed.
This opinion was sustained by Hon. Luther
Bradisb.
Considerable discussion ensued upon points of
order.
Mr. .1 ay then ottered the following resolution :
Resolved, That this Convention do now proceed to cot
aider tbe application for admission of the Church of i>,.
Philip, New-York, and the Church of the Messiah. N.w
York, which were made to the body In the year 1846, and
which were favorably repoiled upon by the Commutes on
the IccorporaUon of Cburchea.
Mr. Livingston raised a point of order, as to the
reception of the resolution at this time, on tho
ground of its interruption of the order of business.
The Chair asked how the Convention was to
know whether the Churches ever desired admis?
sion ? Four years had elapsed, and there had
been no renewal of the application.
election of committees and DEPUTIER,
The Convention then proceeded to the election
of the Standing Committee and the Missionay Com?
mittee of tho Diocese for the ensuing year?one
Lay Deputy to the General Convention, and one
Provisional Deputy.
Pending the question of balloting, a delegate
moved that so much of the eighth rule of order as
related to tho election of the Missionary Commit?
tee, be suspended until the report of that ommit
tee had been read. Aftersome discussion the mo.
tion was withdrawn.
Rev. Richard Cox, Mr. Srewart Bram and Hon.
Luther Bradish severally declined being consid?
ered candidates for the Missionary Committee.
The result of the ballotings was not announced
at the morning seaaion.
report of the missionary committee
The Annnal Report of the Missionary Committee
being the next business in order, it w?s presented
by the Chairman, Rev. Dr. Taylor. The Report
was very brief, but a large number of supplomsn
tary documents were attached. Wo have already

CITY ITEMS.
The Cm 8ewirs.~-We have received a copy
o( an important communication from the Croton
Aqueduct Department, made to the Common Coun
cil at its last session, proposing certain modifica?
tions, in '-he present ordinance regulating the con?
struction of Sewers. As the subject is one of much
importance to the citizens generally, and any
change in the existing law will require legislative
action at Albany, we print tbe document entire :
To the Ho", the Common Council of the Citg of New-York:
The Croton Aqueduct Department respectfully
REPRESENTS:
That tho rapid extension of the Sewers of tho
City, and tbe increasing anxiety of householders to
participate in the boneflts resulting rom them, ren?
der it proper for this Department to examine tho
several steps now required, preparatory to execu?
ting the contracts for building them, and also tho
mode adopted to apportion, lovy and collect the as?
sessments imposed to meet the cost of their con
atruction, for the purpore of determining whether
it be not possible to devise a cheaper and more
equitablo sj stem.
An ordinsnce passed by Ohe Common Council,
directing tho building o'. a sewer, determines only
Its locality and leaves all its details?its shape,
size, number of receiving basins, culverts, man?
holes, and manner of construction, to be fixed by
tbis Department, through Its Chief Engineer, and
renders it necessary in each case, as a preliminary
step, to appoint one of the City Surveyors to make
the required examinations, survey and diagram,
giving all the particulars above indicated, together
with its depth below tbe surface of tbe street, and
the grade of descent. Upon tho coming in of his
report it is. examined, and, if expedient, altered and
modified by tbe Engineer, and then advertised fur
estimates for the period ol ten days, as directed by
tiio City ordinance regulating contracts; at the end
of which period tho bids are publicly opened, and -
tbe contract, under tbe imperative requirements of
the ordinance referred to, invariably awarded to tho
lowest bidder, notwithstanding ii may bo known to
tbe Department, from previous experience, that
tbe successful competitor is destitute of meant to
carry cn the work, and without rnochanical skill
sufficient to justify his attempting it. An inspec?
tor is then appointed, and assigned to tho duty of
superintending its construction.
Upon the completion of tha contract the Sur
ve)or makes uo tbe aggregate, atlJing iuco the
amount his own fees and the per diem allo5vai.ee
of two dollars to tho Inspector, and the whole is
then certified over to the permanent Hosrd of As?
sessors, who proceed to apportion thecost, together
with their own fees, and the fees of the Collector,
upon the owners of lots benefited by tho work,
adopting for this purpose a rule of apportionment,
which will be hereinafter examined and comment?
ed upon.
From the preceding, it will be perceive i that
tbe contract price per lineal foot for the obstruc?
tion of a sewer, can furniih but an imperfect esti
mate of its final coat, as the amount continues,
from time to time, to be swollen by the addition of
new items, the effect of which is sutfijientiy ex?
emplified in a report from the Street Commissioner
of tbe 9th of April last. Doc No I)^ of tho Board
cf Aldermen.
By reference to that report?covering a period
of less than six months?it will be seen that th i
assessments levied for tbe various works tterein
specilied, amour, t to $4f3,;"33 25, of which the 8ar
veyors employed received ?16,108 50 ; tbe In?
spectors 817,153 ; the Assessors $-',551 37; and
the Collectors $8,613 3c, makieg an a;?gre;rate
bejond tho eontrjet prices of $50,486 89, aod leav?
ing the sum paid to Contractors but Si33, iii 91 ?
In other words, the assessments levied upon own?
ers, amounts to nearly 18 per cent, upon tee con?
tract price for the work done.
Sewers can now bo built, of the sizes ordinarily
in use, at the rate of $2 34 per lineal foot, (this is
an average of the lait 15 contracted for by this
Department) where there is no rock excavation,
and were it not for the addition of tha fees above
enumerated, and the further addition for receiving
basins, culverts and intersections, would cost but
abeut $30 for each street front of 25 feet.
The mode adopted in apportioning tbe cost of a
sewer upon tbe owners of lots benefited by its
construction, was settled in the case of Le> Hoy and
ctbers against the Mayor, Aldermen and Com'-u'->n
alty of the City of New-York, 20th Johnson's Re?
ports, page 429. January term 1823, upon certiortri
originating out of the building of the Canal-st
sewer. Wood worth, Justice, delivered the opinion
of the Court, and alter elaborately reviewing the
whole case, concludes in these words: " We are
clearly of opinion that by a juat construction of the
act (meaning tbe 7."th section of the act to reduce
the several laws relative to the City of New-York
inta one statute, 2d N. R. L. 312?460.) the assess
mentought to have been made upon all the owners
or occupants of houses and lots included within the
district designated on the map, from whence the
I tf>e water flowed into tha sewer."
i It is not intended to question tha legality, nor
| the propriety cf this decision, under the then ex
iat:ng stats uf things. At that period it was sup?
posed that the construction o? aewers would al
wajs be confined to a very few streets, which from
tbeir locality, formed the natural outlet to a !ar?re
district; indeed, the writer well remembers that
it was urged that no further sewerage waa ikaly
to be required for a long series of yea-s, and tha1:,
therefore, tbe assessment mi<htbo cheerfuDypaid,
as the '&?: that woblri be imposed ht a s-mlir ob?
ject Tbe cost of this sewer w.-.s ab mt ?93 000, i
an Btrpunt which it was contended, if levied apoa
Ccual at. alcLe, weu'd, in eifec*. work a forlei?re j
of ell the lots ob the street These, in the hands
of the then owner*, coit an average of not more
than Si,000 each?depressed in vafua by ths
knowledge that to rerder them available for dwel?
lings, or bnsines?, a sewer musttirtt bo constructed.
Under tho decision of the Csart ab)?e quoted,
the assessment was spread over an area of soma
500 acres, and all the lots on the high grounds of
the Howery, fr m Beyn-d up to rJuiVn it made to i
roniiihote; theie wer? then worth fun two to I
fivethiuiand do lar* each, a part of which "alue
rrigiDatetf ln the known fact that n i sewer would !
be required there f r drainage, and cunseq tcntly !
tfcat no aiBi-ssme:;t for lhaC object would roach '
them. Some of the lots to Canal sc. a-e now worth
from eight to ten thoussmd doliars, while the own- ?
ers ol those in Orange, Mulberry, Mott and Eliza
beth s's who were romjelled to cootribate to the |
sewer, have never derived the slightest advantae?
from its construction, nor have their lots advanced
in va uc a single coliar in consequence
In further illustration of the principle then
adopted in regard to these assessments, and the
consequences resulting from that principle, it is j
proposed to follow the extei sion of this Canal st. j
sewer up to the present time, and nota its elTect i
upon one lot, to w No. 19 Center-st. formerly, and j
before the opening of Ceoterst known as So. 7
Cross at. Tb's lot was assessed fur the original I
sewer in Canal st. when it was built upto Walker- i
?t. After the lapse of some years, this sewer was
extended through Center up to Pearl-st. acd the !
same lot again assessed. Next, a sewer was j
bni:t in Pearl st from Chatham to Elm st. and this ;
lot again assessed This laa: sower hit since |
been continued up Elm and Reside sts to Broad
way, and the same lot once more assessed. In
these various .-pcratircs, a change of street grades
has been effected, and the surface water from the
lot designated, which once discharged through the
Canal st sewer into the North River, now runs
down Center to Reade at through Reade to Elm
st where falling into the seiner, it passes through
Elm, Peari, Chatham and Rousevelt stt. to the
East River, at the termination of the latter street,
?more than a mile from the point of its former
exit.
After all these charges and payments, the lot in
question has no sewer in front of it, and when the
period arrives to build one, :and it is not doubted I
but it will arrive) it must bear nearly the whole j
expense of its construction, as there are few lots
situated above it, which, under the rule adopted,
can ^e made t0 contribute, and assessments are
never reflc.Tted ^ack nPon l0tB situated upon a
lower grade. Ta? effect of this is, that the owners
of lots upon Canai st. ?*'0w Broadway, for whose i
especial benefit the sewer was originally built,
escape wiih a single assessment, while other lots,
situated upon high ground., and at a iong distance
from it. with no immediate resulting benefit, have
been charged, and the owners made to pay a suc?
cession of assessments through a series of years,
"and the eid is not yet."
The same inequitable proeess is about to be re
peated in aiiessments to be levied for tie sewers
now buildiDg in Broadway and Crosby sts. Ail
these lots have been assessed for the Canal-st. sew?
er?some of them more than ence?yet they will
now be made to bear their own burtber,s without
any contributions from owners of lots on Canal-st.
This department is quite aware of the argument
by which the procedure is sought to be justified,
namely : that a sewer built in a street discharging
the surface water from a large superficial area, is
required to be of much larger dimensions, tnan it it
only received the water from the lots fronting on i
that street; and that, therefore, the remote'lots !
should be made to contribute.
A little reflection and Inquiry will, it is thought,
go far to destroy this assumption.
As his been before remarked, at the time of ?
building the sewer in Canal st. lots situated on it I
were not worth more than one thousand dollars !
each, owing to its low and marshy state, cut up by
sluggish creeks and deep stagnant pools, and the I
universal knowledge that to render them available
for any useful purpose, a sewer must first be built ?
to drain them. These anticipated expenditures
had kept down the price of lots?part es had pur
chased with a full knowledge of these facts, and no
injustice would have been perpetrated had the
owners been assessed for the entire cost of the
sewer, as the value of the lots was immediately
increased to more than equivalent.
Suppose a purchase of lots were now to bemade
on 8eventy liftb at. between the Tnird and Fourth
avenues, where runs a natural watercourse, drain?
ing a basin of several hundred acres. Such pur?
chase is made with a full knowledge that a large '
sewer must eventually be built in front of these
loir, end tho price is graduated accordingly. It
would seem, therefore, unjust to compel the own?
ers of the adjacent high grounds to como io and
contribute to this expense, inasmnch as the owner j
on 8ever.ty-hftb st. has already recaired an eqaiva
Kit in the low prico at which ho has, or ought to '
have, acquired his lota.
It is believed that these statements and illustra?
tions go ^r to prove that the mode of atsessmen
at the time the principle was adopted, was at leas
of doubtful fairness, and that, since sewers have
ccmu to bo considered, not a remote contingency,
but a present necesii'y, and their extension through?
out the city almost certain, a different, simpler and
more equitable methed stould be Introduced.
There are jet other reasons for a change, and ??
the risk of being thought unnecessarily prolix, the
deportment deems it proper, in reference to the
magnitude of the interests involved, to state them 1
The surveyor, in preparing a map from which t3
p.ike an assessment for constructing a sower, in?
cludes, or under the decision referred to, ought to i
include all the lots, the water from which runs into
the sewer. This generally comp-ehends a conti de
rable area, and devolves upon him the necessity of j
giving accurately the size of each lot, aDd thoname
ol the owner, a work frequently of great labor, and
for which he is entitled to a liberal compensation.
The assessors, with this map before tham, io mak
ing the apportionment, graduate the charge upon
each lot in reference to its remotenees. so that lots
on the extreme margin are called upon fir a most j
incoLsiderable sum, as low as one or t*o dollars, |
en amount actually less than will pay the survey- j
or, assessors, and collectors' fees, for including |
tbt-m within the area charged, so that, instead of
mitigating the burthens of those owning lots on the
streets in which the sewer has been bailt, it adds
to such burthen.
To make this branch of the subject mjre readily
comprehensible, a recent asaessment for construct?
ing a sewer in Park place will ba examined. This j
sewer is six hundred and sixty feet in length, pre?
senting a street fnnt on both sides of thirteen hun j
dred and twenty feet, and cost as it came from the j
contractor, including the inspectors' wastes, one
tbcusard four hundred and thirty six dollirs and
ninety seven rents, ?qu?l to nearly one dollar and
nine t ents per foot for each aide of the street, or
twenty seven dollars and thirty five cents for a
front e.'twenty-five feet. Yet after passiog through
the pr<cets of app' rtionment, spread over an area,
including parts of Broadway, above and below
Park place, and aho two fronts In Barclay-st., and
lecdvirgtho additional charges of surveyors, as
sesjers atd collectors' fees, a lot on Park place of
twenty-fcur feet s;x inches font, by seventy-fivo
deep, is made to p;y forty-seven do'lara and forty
two cents
In this statement it is probable that an item or
?wo, justly chargeable to cot^struction accjuntmay
have bt en emitted ; but the addition of these would
not essentially affect the genera result Lodjed, it
may be assumed as an axiom that the mode alo^t
ed of tpreadir.g the astessment to include every lot
tho water from which runs into th? sewer, does
not, it a general rule, cheapen its cost to those
owi.ir.-g property on tho line of it.
Hav ne ti ns placed before the Common Council |
a general view of the whole subject, .ogeth'r with |
practical iUtutratioDa drawn from particular cases, |
the department will proceed to submit such pro- i
po*ti: amencmeETS to the system, as their knowl
edge of it, confirmed by experience, has indicated.
The Chief Engineer of the department. (Mr.
Craves ? at a very early period of his official duties,
?urgestec that a great saving would be elected by
the enjp'ojment of three or four assistant engi?
ne ers, (city surveyors to be selected in preference j
to any otners) at a salary of from ten to twelve j
bnnd'ed col'ars per snr.um, who should be required
to make all the preliminary and other surveys in?
cidental to the construction cf sewers, each sewer
to be charged with an equuab'e part of such salary.
THs proposition was favorably received by the
Board, and action upon it only deferred till ii.-stim
prmlons should be onh'rnied by subsequent ra- ?
fitction and experience. Tho depa:tmQt.t h aow
p-epared to reo.mmend its adoption.
It wcuid also recommend that application be
marie to the Legislature at its next session for an
clteratinn in the law directing the mode of assess
ntnt for sewers so that thereafter trie whole cost
of conitrccticn, including the intersectiuns, may be \
imposed upen the lots fronting on the street in
which the sewer is built, and that the receiving
basins ard culverts be paid for directly.from the
city treasury ; ioaimuco as the enti e population is
interested from regard to the public hraith, and j
their individual convenience, in having tb- surfte? I
m
water dropped ioto the sewerr, aod ths cross-gut?
ter* at the intersection of streets abolished.
It is also suggested, that if provision were made
by annual appropriations to pay t^e cootractirs
immediately upon the completion and acceptance of
their work, instead of leaviog them, as now, to re?
ceive tbeir compensation by the slow and uncer?
tain process of collecting tee assessments; that tbe
work would be cheapened, cct only by the assur?
ance of pumpt payment, but also by increased com
petition, fbo interest paid by tho treasury-upon
xu.-h advsnces, would be mero than balanced by
that received from delinquent owners, and the as?
sessments constituting a lien for principal and in?
terest upr n the lots charged, no iocs coald acarae.
Ti.ts?- various alterations effected, and power
conferred upon this department to apportion tba ae

Ocr City Dispensaries.?Mr. Editor 1 was
very glad to tee in you: paper of the U'th inst. ua
der tbe head of " City I'e_ts," some account of one
of our Diapersaries. of which there aro three in
tbe City. These institutions have not heretofore
as the writer of this verily believes received tbeir
due share of public attention, and I am glad a bo
ginning has been made to briog them into notice.
Even Irom those publications in which the comp!,
lers have pretended to give eorne account of all the
important beneviiert institutions in our City, tbo
Dispensaries h- ve, in ail etics, I believe, been ex?
cluded until the present year, when they have
found a place in one, ani only one, of our City Di
rectories. Will you, therefore, al.'ow me a little
space to iay before your readers a portion of the
doings of one of these establishments, the Northern
Dispensary, situated in tho Ninth Ward?__Tae
o. eratioES of this institution embrace all the terri?
tory between Spring and Forty second sts. and be?
tween the North River and Broad vay to Union
Park, and between the said River and Fourthav
above aaid Park. This territory is divided into
three districts, each of which is undor tho oare
a competent physician, at a salary of $600 per an?
num. These three physicians attended at their
c"wel!ings, during the last month, (independant of
the large number who received aid at the Dispen?
sary Building,) 813 of tho sick poor, of whom only
fourteen died, or leas than two per cent, of the
wboie number; and it must ba remombered these
patients were made op of the class of persons, a ma
jotity foreigners, who are destitute, in most cases,
of good nursing, well ventilated rooms, and all the
usual comforts necessary to tha well beiog of the
sick. Now 1 would respectfully ask, can physi '
cians in private practice, with all tho comforts with
which their patient* are surrounded, present a
more favors oe statement than this ? It may ba
doubted, 1 think,if they can.
The great difficulty with which the Dispensaries
have to contend, is the want of funds. The City
Corporation allows them 81,000 per annum, and
the State has allowed them 61,500 each, (out of
the passenger fund, and from other sources since
that has been taken away,) until tbe present year,
when it was cut down to $500 by the last Legis?
lature, for some cause unknwn to the writer of this.
For the ballance of their funds they have to de
pend mainly on annual subscriptions and donations '
from private individuals, which, notwithstanding
the known liberality of tha people of New-York,
are more or less uncertain, and always attended
with much toil and anxiety to those who undertake
the busincas of begging, as all who have tried it
well know. One would suppose that institutions
such as tbe Dispensaries are, carrying their bane
fits to the most needy and destitute portion of toe
people?a charity leas liable to abuse than any
other?saving, as thay do, to tha public immsusa
sums in the expense of supporting paupers, and
commanding the time and serviies of trustees and
in door physicians free of charge, ought not, in any
case, to lack the funds for their noceasary expendi?
tures- May it not be hoped tha* they will not be
forgotten by the benevolent? Cosmopolite.

BROOKLYN ITEMS.
BuRolaf.s ?A few nights since, a party effect?

were alarmed, without succeeding in their under?

the situation of tbe house, they bad to cross five
fences before they arrived at the piazza, and had
attempted to force open the door with a chisel, be?
