INTRODUCTORY. TUE TUIRD BISHOP o? Illinols was consecrated yosterday with all the pomp and coremony tiat bufits such an jwpor- tant occanion, Probably no event in the history of Episcorslianism 1o the West han evor besn anticipated with so great and generat an futer- cat, not ony on account of jts unucual nature, but also by rcason of tho pocaliar circum- stauces connected with the new Bishop's elec- tion, It ta not nocassary at this time to roatate thoso circumalances, which aro well-kinown both to Epiecopalians and members af other denomi- naticos genorally, o the chows of a successor to the Ilamented Whitchouss thers wad devoloped & vyast amonnt of par- tisan strife, and s copsaquently bigh degreo of Litsruoss among the friends of thoe different candidatos for the sacred offica. Three eloctions wors beld. Two fell througzh, but the third was more succeasful, resuitiniz in tho elec- tion of man unonwhom oll partie conld unite, & man who was not susposted of belng elther tao 11tualistio or too liberal in his tendancies. TUE FILOT LiSuOP of lllinols was the Re.-Rev, Fhilandor Chase, who waa consecrated 1o St. James' Cliuroh, Phll- adelplus, Fob. 11, 1819, and died Sept. 20, 1852, ITo was succeeded by the Rt.-Rov. Heory Joha \Whitchouse, who was consecrated in Bt. Georga's Church, New Yorlt, Nov. 40, 1831, and died Aug. 10, 1874, THE RT.-DEY. WILLIAN EDWAND N'LAREN, third in succession, is the firat Bishop of this Diocoss who has boon conscorsted hers. He s & native of Geugya, N. Y., whoro be was bora In 1831. Ho graduated st Jefferson Colloge, Peune sylvania, io 1851, and subsequently was cone uocted {n & ropertorial capacity with seoveral newspapors. Turn fug bis attention to the min- latry, he eotored the Allegheny’ Theologics} Beminary. Gradusting in 1860, he weni as & misaionary to Bogota, Bonth America, under the auepices of the Amertcan Board of Foreign Mls- siony, He labored thers with sucoess for nearly threo years, wuen Lo received s call to tho pastorais of tho Becond Presbyterian Chuteh 2t Pecrin, Ill, oOver which he wag duly ordained as pastor. It was during lis sojouta At this pines that he began to experionce & change in v religious views, His 1wquumnes aud stuuics, operatiug upon s mind of a pe- culinzly sor.ovw uud couservalive pature, gradus ally diew him away {fow the mimple and severo faith 10 wiich hio " was nurtured to ons mors aoounding 1o symboism aud outwsrd expres- #1008 of raligious deiotion aud belief. Wbile there bo uryed the adoption of,a liturgy for the use of bis Clitieh, but the proposal eucounter- ed K0 nuuch upposition that it was absndoned, Aftor’ bis romoval to Detroit, whiers ho had charge of the Westminster Cburch, ho opauly oxprossed o his fricnds his admirstion for Lpiscopalianjum. IMs divergence fruwm the acceptod doctrines of the Oliurcn graduslly be- came noticeabls in his sermous, aud tinally led to hiv witlidrawal from the Prosbyterian Chitrch, 1lis 1esiguation was accepted by the V'resbytery of Detroit, which' met In February, . e soon aftermards went fu Cleveland ss Hector of Trinity Church, whero ke Las since remsined. IN APFPATANCE, Bishop MoLazen is not strikingly handsome or intellactasl. Of wodnun beight, he has a stoop- iug posiure whon standing, as 1f acquired from long Lunding over a dock. His tace is very plaw, his nose beiug.rather promineat and sharp, ‘Lherels a large circuler bald spoton the top of by head, and beyond this bis sandy-oolored hatr fulls strarght “aimost to his shoulders. His oounciation {a excellent, and in mpesking the usually immobile exprossion on bis (acs in quite changod, aud lightens up with the fire of thought, 8o that tho firat dissgreeable impression produced by Liv appesranae is remioved. e THE SCENE. . OREAT PILPARATIONS had boen made by tho clorgy and prominent Iaymeu iu the clty for tho great ovent. ‘Tho consecantton of = Dishop - happens aa’| ravely that it doservcw to be colobrated with the utmout amount of ostentatlon, And in thls casa ths Episcopshisus af Chivago had determined to exert themuselves to the utmost limits in order to assure their new spintual dirsctor of their unanimous good will wud support, Demded, lirgo delegatlons of olergymeu from ull parts of this and adjoining Heatue wore expooted to parilcipate and add to tho popular demonsteations. . Dishops, t00, wore expected | any number to coufor diguity upon thecounsecration, And that expectation was not disappoluted. Half a dozen digaitaries and fifty or more clergymen were ou hand. The services, colabrated ju (o Catuedral of B8, Peter aud ¥aul, with a{l the eplendor of vosiment and form of coremny, were concluded with enilre suc- cons, thore bolng nothing to mar their solemnity or thelr appropristeness. TUE FLORAL DECORATIONS wera oxtremoly beautiful and effective, The combiuatlons of color were so tauteful and wall arranged as to be aquably striklug in every: pait of she auditorlum. Upon the communion-table, which waa covored with a snow-white cloih with gold-embroidered edges, was ersoted s large ‘cross of tuborosod, with a border of yed fow. ers, Oucachaido of thls oroas was s vase of varl- ous uxtural flowers.

Long Le- fore the procession bogan evary aisle was pa cked with Intoreated observors. ~ Hundreds wero obliged to go away without obtalning s.dmit- tance. Tho newspaper representatives, wha were in tho first Iontauce stowed away {u an une comfortably emall spaco, wers contiuu- ally ancroachsd wupon by the crowd, and driven into a cornor, Boon after the commencoment of the exorcires] even the chancel-sieps were appropristed Ly a bevy of vallsat young ladien, Notwithstanding tho denns throog, everybody seemod Lo maintain #00d humor and good order, Owing; to the close- ness of the simosphere, one Iady fainted during the servicen, but aside from this there wers no enpecinl inoidonte, Atthe closs of the regular ecrvicos a lady brought forward her baby, and won for it the honor of being tha first one sprinkled by Bistiop McLaren's Lauds.
