Impressive Soens Attending the For. rowful Ceremony of Humil. iation. The Action of the Thirty Blshops Prompt and Unani- mous. ' Spectal Ditpate to the Tribune, New York, Seot. 8, —Samuel Allan McCoskry, Bishop of the Diocese of Michigan, was iy} evening solemnly deposed from the mintstry of the Protestant-Episcopal Church by the nnap(. mous action of the House of Dishops, assembled at Grace Chapel,. This sction wasa surprise to all savo. the mombers of the House, it having been generally understood. that the resignation of Blshop McCrosky, submitted im- mediately befors his departure for Europe, would bo accevtod. Iis deposition from the minlatry and from all its officcs, howaver, Is not, the result of n former trial of chigrzes of Immoral conduct, buthns heen made simply on the techoleal groundsof his abandonment of his dioceso and departuro from tho territory of tho United States while allegations sffecting nig morality were In extstence. Judging from TiiR TOXE OF T1# ARTIOLE OF DEPORITION, it would appeas that the House regarded hig abandonmont of his charge aud his somewhat hurried departure for abroad, as a tacit plea of Fullty on his part to avold examination of tig charges, Owing fo his abscoce, the Ilouse found itselt practieally unable to conduct a proper and formal cxaminatlon, and f consequently took advantage of 1ts right to de- pose him for leaving his Diocese. This action of the Ilouse 1s final, aud renders any addltionat broceedings on the part of tho Dioceso of Micl. fzan entircly superfinous. A Diocesan Conven. tion cap now be calied in the Btate at any thme for the election of a Dishop to Al the vacancy created.
