Union Auxiliary to the Parent Socbty.-was held ou .Saturday night-Prof. Iliblco, of Aahury University, and Bcv, War, Taylor, the California street preacher, made addresses. Inylor’s address was tntgeneris, and. was n most capital thing, A largo collection was taken, tip; but yesterday, (.Sabbath,) was the great day of the feast. In the morning. Bis lion Janes preached a sermon that almost defies description. U was clear, and strong, and pointed, and produced a, fine effect. After the cermon, the ordination of. deacons was attended, to. 'Jhe love feast in the morning, was nothing extraordinary. At 3 P. M., Taylor, dm Californian, preached a sermon that will never he forgotten hero. Ho i« an eccentric genius, hut withal has a good head-and a good heart. At half past five I’, M;, he preached on the street *°. *? l a, S c tTowd. containing the Bishop and nearly all the ministers. Ho took a store box for and patched about an hour. I thought I would give yourrenders a synopsis of his sermon, hut 1 conIJ not do it ju?ticc. He certainly is well qualified for the kind of work in which he has been engaged for seven year?, viz,, street preaching in San Francisco. He told ns in the beginning how he captmod five hundred gamblers, 'and about as-many others who were hut li’tilo better. He o:d it by going before their, dens arfd singing, them out, and then ho preached to them. T,ast night there was quite -a teligiops stir nt the Methodist Church, and .several were forward forprnyrn, and a few Joined the C Lurch' It wajt announced that the Conference would adjourn to night. 1 think, however, that sojue. of the reports will awaken some discussion, $nd defer the closing scene till morning. .Tie next'session of (he Con* feicncc will ho held at Indianapolis, v

A few evenings since, while looking at the comet now visible in the. North-west-ern heavens, I heard 'a geateman remark that the “appearance of this comet foretold some evil—perhaps the downfall of this government,” I thought that-lhe remark savored somewhat Spf superstition and' antiquity, and was bavitAupon the opinions of the ancients, whtK'snpposcd that comets wcre.tbo forerunners of war#, revolntions; famine, pestilence, $-c. It is said that when the comet of 1450 maqc its appearance, Pope Calixtus, believing it to bo an instrument of Divine wrath, ordered pubic prayers to be offered up in all the towns, and the belts to be tolled at noonday to warn (he people to supplicate (be mercy, of heaven,, thus establishing the custom, which still exists to (his day in Catholic countries, of tinging the bells at noonday. A very largo comet appeared in 1CS0, and according io Sir Isaac Newton, its velocity was' &S0,000 miles an hour. Mr. Squire gives its .velocity in its perhelion, (that point in the any planet or comet which is nearest the sun,} at 1,240,000 miles an hour. i,.According to Dr, Halley, this comet, in passing throngh its Southern node,. came within 440,000 miles of (be aarth's orbit, and ho siippq: ees that “had the earth been.in that part ofitf orbit'haar that node of the comet,' (heir mutual gravitation must have cans’d a change in the plane of. the eajih's orbit, and were it to strike the earth, a thing by no means impossible, the shock might reduce, ill is beautiful framedo its originM chaos.— Discoveries aihco then, however, renden the above idea improbable. '■ ' ' ■ ■ • ■ - .; Mr.'Winston, one of tho successors of Newton, enter tained very strange ideas respecting comets. He attributed the universal deluge to tbd near approach of this comet to the carlb. lie mpptucd “that tho earth, passing through the atmosphere of the comet/ attracted from it n great part of .the water of the Hood; that the nearness of the comet raised a great tide ’in 'the subterranean waters; that this could not he done without making fissures orcrack In the oilier crust of the earth; that through these fissures the subterraneous waters were forced; that along with tho water ' much mud or slime would rise, which, after (he subsiding of tire water, partly into tho fissured, and partly into the lower parts of the earth to- form the sea, would enver over to a considerable depth the antediluvian earth;” aud thin is the way he accounts for trees, bones of animals, and many other things found at a great depth, in the earth.' Ho supposes that the same comet, -“after being heated .to an intense degree in its perihelion,” would bo tho cause of the conflagration of the. earth. He also advanced the idea of comets being. the abodes or the; wicked/ apd that they. arc thus punished by. being; “.whirled through al-, ternate regions; of.heat and cold.”

A new feature has been introduced into (he Conference, that is, a'lay delegation to help the ministers in' financial matters. One lay brother is selected from each District, and bo assists in the regulation of finance. 1 think this is a wise arrangement. There are several German Ministers in .Conference, and occasionally they ‘•get off” soma rich things. One of them offered the following resolution: “Resolved, That any. brother who neglects to raise subscriptions for superannuated preachers, shall bare no claim on the Conference when he It is hardly necessary to add, that the resolution carried unanimously, and is now a law on the journal. Who bat a German! would have thought of such a way to stir up the preachers? The reports on Education, Slavery, &c, will probably canse some interesting disensaion, of which I will try to famish yon a synopsis.
