The attendance of delegates was not large, but the session was interesting throughout. The ac companying volume contains the Papers which were accepted, and the Minutes and Discussions in full; but we regret the absence of the admirable Conference Sermon, by Rev.

The Reports from States are very full, and give more information about the charities of the whole country than can be found anywhere else. Copies of these Reports, in a separate pamphlet of 60 pages, can be had of the editor for 15 cents each; and copies of the Report on State Boards may also be had at 5 cents each.
