Bishop Potter presided, and, in conducting the religious services with which it is customary to open the deliberations of that body. was assisted by Bishop Scott, of Qregon, Bishop Lee, of lowa, and Bishop Upfold, of In. diana. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Lewis, of Brooklyn, and at 3 o'clock the Con- vention, having disposed ef much business that was ina large measure formal, adjourned until 9 o'clock next morning. Bishop Onderdonk has withdrawn, it is stated, from before the Couven- tion his petition to the House of Bishops, asking for a termination of his sentence. This does not prevent the calling up of the whole matter, in regular parliamentary form, if any of the dele- gates see fit todo so. The withdrawal of the petition is regarded as an expedient to postpone all discussion upon the subject to the meeting of the House of Bishops at Richmond. On the sec- ond day of the session, after the transaction of sundry routine business, the Provisional Bishop read the annual Episcopal address, in which, among other things, he opposes the division of dioceses. From Ura —Iutelligence from Salt Lake City is that the U.S. District Court met there on the 29th of July, Judge Sinclair presiding.

We had approached to within three hundred yards of the first barrier, at which point, should we not be fired on, I had proposed anchoring, when we rounded, and failed in all our efforts to back off. |- be tide was falling fast. and our situation was critical not only from the facility with which the batteries might demolish us, but. as we were on the edye of a steep bank, from the probability of the steamer falling over and tilling. At this mo- ment I received from Admiral James Hope an attention and kindness which must place me under lasting obligatious to him. Although he had reason to think that she would be tired upon by the forts, he sent a gun-boat to my aid, with the message that had be known of my intention wo up be would have furnished me a pilot, and that he expected to see me fired on. The gun-boat failed in her efforts to extricate me, and there being. as | have said, a Probability of the Toey-wau falling over and fi l‘ng, the Admiral despatched a secund yun-boat to me, placing ber entirely at my siepoatticg, with the handsome and generous offer that [ should hoist on board of her the American bo and my own personal flag. I declined the offer, with a just apprecia- tion, however, of the 1 kindness to myself and the delicate compliment to our service. “The Toey-w-a was more fortunate than I expected, and, a favorable wind having sprung up, we got her off gh water. About two bobrs after grounding we sent a boat to the nearest fort with my flag lieutenant, Mr. Trenchard, aud the in’erpreters, to inform the commanding officer that the Au an Minister was on board the Toey-wau on his way to Tient- sinand Pekin in accordance with our treaty end an understanding with the Chinese Comuniasion- ersatShanghae. ‘They were met at the landing by an officer professing to be of low rank, who said that his orders were not to mit the remo- val of the barriers, and to fire on those attempting it; that he believed thata high officer bad beea a to meet the Ministers at the north. He also asserted inost falsely, as subsequently shown, that there were no troops, and only a few country militia, in the forts, Although interpreters were allowed to get out of the boat for greater fa- cility of conversstion, they were not permitted to approach the forts. The Toey-wau floated late in the evening, when I observed that tne British were arranging themselves, rently, for action. I therefore dropped down to the mouth of the bar- bor; and below them, so that my lights might not interfere with their signals, or my tion with their operations. The British in moved with their boats a jon of the lower barrier, but the Clinese restored it in the morning. At2:45 p.m.,on the 25th, the duy specitied for the exchange of treaties, the British stood up the river for the barriers, Admiral Hope leading in one of the gunboats. ‘This whole force consisted of ten gun-boats,inclu- ding one French and three larger steamers,ofaclass denominated despatch vessel, corzing in allubout tifty guns. They also had on board of the Chine junks, ut the mouth of the river, a reserve of boats with seamen and marines.

At this time a young British officer came to from the vessels engaged to say that the gallant Admiral was dan- gerously wounded, and had but six men left. He (the officer) had two boats sunk in reaching me.
