The meeting Saturday afternoon at 4' o'clock was held in the Grace-Street Baptjst church, and was presided over by Rev. Dr. W. E. Hatcher. %? . The first address was-. made by Rev. I)r. IJenry McDonald, or the Second Baptist church, on " Relations of Roman Catholi cism and the Baptists? Their Contrasted Faiths and Our Line of Duty." Introduc ing his theme with a pleasing incident of a Catholic priest who once said that the Bap tists were <? born Protestant heretics ever since the days of the apostles," he proceeded to state and illustrate some of the points of contrast between the Baptists and the Ro manists. '*-ry 1. lie maintained that, Roman Catholic faith looks to the Church as the source of all authority and power? that alls piritual bless ings come through the Cburch; thatosalva tion is through the Church, and only in the Church. Against this, he insisted, the Baptists hold that each poor sinner may come to the cross for himself, and trust in Jesus for himself, and be saved for himself, with out the intervention of either priest or sur plice. The Baptists hold to simple faith in Christ as against the doctrine of faith in the Church. x ? i. lie claimed as another contrast of view that while the Baptists bold that a Church is a body of baptized believers voluntary associated. t^oti.or, the Roman Cat iol.es to Hereditary church-membership, that all should be in the Church and are brought in by infant baptism ; that they grow up in the Church and die in the Church. The Bap tists hold that each man must believe for himself? the Catholics in a religiou which mav be performed by proxy. 8 He insisted that the two hold antagonist ic standards of faith? the Baptists maintain ing that the Bible is the only rule of faith and standard of practice, while Romanists j hold that the authority of the Church n of equal authority with that of the Bible. The Baptists hold that every individual must in terpret- the Scriptures for himself, while the Catholics hold that he must allow the Church to give the interpretation. i. The two. he held, are directly antago nistic in their views of Church govern ment- the Baptists believing in the congre gational form of Church government (that each church is an independent republic), while the Romanists hold to a consolidated Church, whose head is an " infallible I ope. 5. lie argued that they differ as wide as the poles on their methods of evangeliza tion. The Roman Church has been in its past history, and in its very fundamental doctrines, a persecuting Church, which be lieves in either reclaiming or burniug here tics : and he insisted that it, was a mere I dodging of the is,uc to say that the Church does not and never did persecute, but sim ply 44 turns over heretics to the ciwl au ^'on "the other hand, the day that a Baptist would raise a finger to persecute anyj who di tiers from him, he violates hi* . ft n da mental principles and ceases to be a Baptist. For himself, lie would shoulder his musket and light a mob which should as-ail a Cat i oHc cathedral or attempt in any way to in terfere with their right to worship <^od ac cording to the dictates of their own con CAsCto the duty of Amc-ricaii Baptists, lie insisted that they should yield to no false I ideas of 44 chanty," but, catching the sr int of that scriptural chanty which 44 rejoicc-th in the truth," should tirmly, though Kind Iv , preach and disseminate their doctr.ne. llt hailed the work of this American Baptist j Publication Society as one wlnc,;sa1?"( ! command the hearty sympathies of the Bap tists of the whole country. He hailed the printing- press as our yreat civilizcr, and the distribution of the Bible as the great weapon of the truth. He wanted colport a"-e and our Sunday-school work vigorously mished. He drew a vivid and eloquent pic ture of tiie field which now spreads out be fore the Baptists of America, and of bonds of fraternity which bind them toge ther. and closed with a touching incident which brought tears to many eyes. Dr McDonald's address was able, elo quent, and pathetic, and made a proiound impression on all who heard it. Rev Dr. C. 11. Corey, president of the Richmond Institute, then made an admira ble address on 44 The Special Ncci U of tin* Work Among the Ireedmcn. He .poke of the power of the Bible and of evangeli cal truth to antagonize socialism, commu nism, and kindred errors, and to reduce the grand army of tramps. He especially up'cd the need of this work among the freed men of the South. He gave an ^ex ceedingly interesting account o ft c woik among the colored people of the South. He bore willing testimony to the na"S active cooperation he had received fiom his white brethren since he had been in Ricb mDr. Corey's speech made an excellent im pression. and was warmlv endorsed by Drs. Sumner, McDonald, and Warren. xjcirr session*. Rev. Dr. George J. Johnson gave a Bible reading on *4 Baptism, " in which he collated t lie passages of Scripture which are claimed to teach t lie views held by Baptists. Professor H. IJ. Harris being detained by sickness, Dr. W. E. II ate her read the paper on "Southern Baptists? Their Characteris tics and Duties." The paper was charac terized bv Professor Harris's clear discrimi nation and decided ability. Rev. Dr. G. W. Anderson, of Philadel phia, made an exceedingly interesting ad dress on " The Baptists of Europe and the Publication Society." CORRECTION. By some singular carelessness the reporter left out a part of the report of Friday's pro ceedings, and thus omitted the h'rst part of Itev. J. T. Craig's admirable speech, and ran the latter part of it into that of Dr. Dunaway, thus making tl.is native of Lan caster county, Va., to have been born " in the land of Burns." Helping the South.-? In his speech in behalf of the American Baptist Publication Society 011 Saturday, Rev. A. E. Dickinson said : '? When 1 was collecting money to build the Fulton Baptist church, of this city, and lacked but tive hundred dollars, I went to the meeting of this Society, held in Boston, and as soon as I stated the caj?e the President of the Society, William Buck liell. said 4 Put me down for one hundred dollars, ?" and four others said the same, and in a few minutes I had my live hundred dollars. When I appealed for money to build Pine-Street Baptist church, of this city, these brethren responded generously; and never have I asked for help for any poor church or Sunday school that they have not cheerfully aud generously re sponded." The City Mission*.? The ladies conduct ing this institution having found them selves out of money, are therefore com pelled to temporarily suspend operations. They have very reluctantly come to this de termination, because of the great need now existing amongst the poor of the city? espe cially many cases of sickness? where suf fering must ensue unless relief is a Abided in this or some similar manner. In view of this fact, the lady managers have deter mined to make another effort to continue their ministrations a few weeks longer, and to this end will have a called meeting of the association at Mr. Kaleigb Colston's ou next Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. In the mean time, active efl'orts will be made to solicit a sum sufficient for present needs. They urge every one to whom application maybe made to "contribute as liberally as they can toward* this object. Any articles of clothing or provisions may be sent to Mr. Colston's, the mission rooms, 1414 Franklin street, or any of the lady officers of the ausociation. Contribu tions of money left in our counting-room before the day of meeting will be handed over to the treasurer. The City Public Schools.?

Siiockok. . KAXCHESTUl AM) VICINITY. The Case Relating to the Closing of the Free Bridge. ? The examination oi the wit nesses in relation to the closing of the Free bridge was cnderl Friday afternoon, and the counsel for the patties who instituted complaint against the Bridge Commission ers began their argument before Mayor Clarke Saturday at 12 o'clock. Colonel Ambers and Socrates Brooks, Esq., were counsel in the ease, and in speeches of forty minutes each argued that the Free-Bridge Commissioners had violated the laws re cently enacted by the General Assembly governing them, and that thay had no right or authority in ordering the bridge to he ciosed; and furthermore, that the bridge being a public highway, and the Manehes j tcr terminus being within the jurisdiction lot' the city, that the Mayor had the power I and authority to order it to be re opened, i They therefore requested his Honor to issue j an order commanding the obstruction to be ! removed. After hearing the argument concerning it the Mayor reserved his decision until this morning, it being a question of such in terest and importance as to demand a mi nute and careful consideration. None of the Bridge Commissioners were present Saturday, nor were they repre sented by counsel, they being of the opinion I that, they were justifiable in having the bridge closed on account of its dangerous condition, and also being sustained in their action by the opinions of ninny person*: consequently it would be useless to employ counsel. These proceedings are not intended as a criminal prosecution on the part of those bringing complaint, but merely to ascertain whether or not action was premature in the closing of the bridge. At present the peo ple arc paying interest 011 ?90.000 for the maintenance of the bridge, and are de riving no benefit whatever from it. It is hoped that a sufficient appropriation will be made towards its repairs, so that in a ?hort while travel may again be resumed. Ji the Mayor should iti his decision command the obstructions on the Manchester terminus to be removed, it is thought that similar pro ceedings wiM be instituted against the com missioners of Richmond by citizens of that place, who desire the bridge should be re [ opened.
