ourselves about the price of stocks or the chances of an election bet. During that session I used to see Mr. Marcy almost every day. In the course of con- versation, one day, during a walk up Pennsylvania Avenue, to which he invited me, I found that the Senator had something heavy, very heavy indeed, on his mind, which he wished to disclose. He calied me out of his room, and we walked along the street, and during that walk I discovered, after a great deal of backing and filling in the, way of lai guage and ina style something similar to that in which Cesar refused the crown in Shakspeare’s play of Julius Caesar, that the heavy business on the heart of the Senator wasa desire to be brought forth in the columns of the Courier and Enquirer as acandidate forthe gubernatorial chair of New York in anticipation of the Convention of the party, to be heldin Herkimer in the fall. We discussed the mutter in all its aspects for several weeks. I considered it in every point of view, and I conclu- ded that it would be a famous movement for the Courier and Enquirer, and particularly for my friend Webb to take up, as he was in rather an awkward predicament in relation to the party, growing out of the disclosures about the $52,000 affair of the United States Bank, which had been previously NEW YORK HERALD.

Commanding H W. Morris, all three of them bound for the Coast. The brig Truxton, Comman- der Bruce, was cruising to the leeward. A few days before the Preble left Porto Praya, o, about the 16th of July,authentic intelligence reached | that place trom Bissao, Africa, that the natives had | recommenced their warfare against the authorities | of the place, and the Governor General had sent a considerable force to assist the latter in defending themselves. The Preble brings the intelligence, important, to our whalers, that the harbor of Porto Grande, which had been closed by the former Governor | Bastos, to all merchant vessels except in eases of distress, has been re-opened, by the new Gevernor General Don José Miguel de Noronha.

The probability is, that after a great | deal of squabbling, controversy, and ill nature, the Convention will leave the question precisely where it is at present. Pouirica, AFrrairs.—George N.

This, the agreed to, and thereby taught the usurer that in such matters an impatient haste should not govern him. Coxnectiox.—In an article on the night police, in Wednesday's Herald, we stated that a truit store at the corner of Front and Fulton streets, was robbed in the night. We since learn that the theft was committed in the day time, and that the night police of that district were not at all blameable, Rev. Mr. H.

It is sup- posed to have been caused by an incendiary. The se- cond story and lofts were occupied by J. Bornhoeft and J. Buttikofer, pianoforte manufacturers. The fire burnt through the upper pet of the staircase, but was checked before doing much damage to the lofts. Their piano- fortes were somewhat injured by water and the el 8 of the dease smoke.

The drama is purely national, being founded upon events which occurred during the revolution. It is full of the most patriotic incidents and thrilling scenes. The applause which was last night given throughout by the large audience,was proof of the gratifying feelngs which it imparted.

The play was Romeo and Ju- liet, the two characters by Mrs. Mowatt and Mr.Crisp.. ‘The style of the lady’s acting betokened a thorough conception of her part, and she gave several new read- ings of various points, which told with the audience.— | ‘The manner in which she asked the question of the nurse, ‘What's ho that follows there, that would not dance ?” when she first sees Romeo, was delivered with thrilling emphasis.

Mr. Crisp, as Romeo | dressed, looked, and acted the character to admiration. — Mowatt are daily improving in in Philadelphia and Balti was great anddes-rvedly so, To-night they appear in the Lady of Lyons.

This sort of amusement wastried by Braham and Phillips, and the former suc- ceeded only from his great reputation and the strong de sire every one felt to see him. Phillips failed almost out- right and left us with the intention of returning to this country in a year or so with an English opera troupe to make a small fortune.

The attendance yesterday morniag was as nume- rous and fashionable as of the day previous. The galleries were crowded at an early hour by ladies, and the body of the church filled as before with the clergy and lay delegates. The attention bestowed by the spectators on the proceedings of the Conven: tion was deep, and from appearances one would sup- pose each of the fair listeners had a dear friend on trial. The second day’s’meeting of this Convention was opened by the reading of the morning service, by Dr. Sherwood and Mr. Wheaton, at the conclusion of which, it was called to order by Dr. Lyell, and the order of the business announced, viz: that the sub- ject under consideration was the balloting for Presi- dent of the Convention. The Hon. Joun C. Srencen here aroseand made a! motion that the name of Dr. Wainright as candidate for | the Presidency be withJrawn, and that Dr. Creighton be forthwith elected Presiden’, withont going into the for- mality of yoting by ballot’ He said that the namo of Dr. Wainwright had originally been proposed for the sake of conciliating all parties by his election ; but as the result of the balloting had shown that some opposi tion was made to his election, that he hoped thatas his ame was now withdrawn, the busin tion would at once proceed, and Dr Creighton be elected Judge Bux., of Troy, seconded the motion of Mr. Spencer. He hadno sloubt that either Dr. Wainwright or Dr. Creighton, would both have done honor to the . The wish of that matters be arranged as spoedily as pi all in ord valuable to all of them, and he trusted the man, and proceed at once to elect Dr. C., f jormality of ballotting—substituting for it an unanimous vote. Hon, J. C. Spexcen again urged the speedy settlement of this question, and the question was then put as to whether Dr. Creighton was chosen President, and the In the answering a number of noes were heard, whereupon Hon. J, C. Sren- cex again begged them not to waste any more time, but for the sake of all concerned to proceed at once unani- | moual) The question was then taken as to the canonical propriety of dispensing with the ballot, and settling jon by a viva wice voice; and the ‘upon the subjest, having boen read, it appeared that such a course was allowable, and after much discussion, the Chair tion as to whether Dr. Creighton was lected, and the of the Convention. Da. Cusicntos, upon taking his seat in the Chair, ad- dressed the meeting in the following terms :— Gentlemen of the Episcopal Convention, I beg to offer to you my most grateful acknowledgments for the honor you have thus conferred on me, in elevating me to the bres jency of this Convention, though at the same time I feel aware of my own insufficiency to fill such a high station, more particularly when I recollect the admira- ble manner in which it has in other years been presided over, and this fact makes me feel more deeply the kind- ness you have extended towards me in electing me to thi ortant station. To one thing (however deficient imay be in’ othera)) I pledge myself, which is, to exer- cise a most strict impartiality and faithful adherence to the canons of the church and rule of thehouse. Should I disappoint you in other respects, | must throw myself on your charity and good feeling, and in that hope I take my seat. "At the conclusion of this speech, it was moved and se- conded that the Rev. Mr. Haight be nominated for Secro- tary, and that tle nomination be acted on without the formality of the ballot box, but by viva voce voting, which was acceded to, and Mr. Haight was unanimously declared elected Secretary. The same course was pursued in reference to the trea. surer, Mr, C. N, 8. Rowland, and he in like manner was re-elected Treasurer. The next busin that was e calling off of the names of those de 3 who did not answer to the call yesterday,which- lone. ‘The consideration of the rules of order was next gone into, and it was moved that each member should be fur- nished with a copy of the rules of last year, which was accordingly done, and the Secretary proceeded to read the same aloud, on the conclusion of which it was moved and carried that the rules of order be laid on the table for the present, which was done. Judge Oaxcey then rose and enquired how the list of Clerical Delegates of this Convention had been pre- a S Mr. Haicut remarked that no list had been obtained from the Bishop for obvious reasons, and that he on iis own responsibil ity as Secretary had prepared one })y placing on the roll the names of every Clergyman iu the diocese who wasentitled to aseat. He by no mesns arrogated for this list perfect correctness, nor did he consider it an official one, nor did he consider himself bound to say that all those on the list were entitled toa seat; what he had done, he had done for the sake of not organised body in the Convention. tod dialogue here ensued, in which Mr id, that it was highly necessary that some rule should be adopted in reference to this parti- cular, of who were, and were not, entitled to seats. One case had come to his knowledge of a Rev. gentleman trom Brooklyn, Mr. Carter, who was here as the assistant of an assistant, and he thought that such persons were not entitled to Speer) had no cures, and could not be recognised as established clergy. Reverend Mr. Jonxsron, of Brooklyn, arose and said that the gentleman wes entirely misinformed as to this case. ‘The gentleman in question, Mr. Carter, wa sistant clergyman, and occupied ax teacher both of congregation and children, to which post he had been | appointed in consequenco of the great amount of labor inthe parish.

He doubted whether there were not persons who voted yesterday who had no right so to do. Judge Oaxcey said that whether the elected or not, it was inthe hands Committee to decide by their certific: Reverend gentlemen, in qu custom of appointing a the Standing ates.

Mr. Joi the appoint. ment of lor chose to his congre- tion neglected, he did not wish his to be 1u io. Dr. Tayior said that he was not aware of the state of se and did not intend to apply any personal re- sto Dr. J. regarding the teaching of his congrega- tion; he thought himself, though per year ar two younger than Dr. J. qualified for it ashe was; and presented a motion regarding the mode to be pursued in examining certificates of the clergy, and after some dis- cussion the following resolution was adopto Resolved —That the list of the clergy-which has been submitted by the Secretary for the parpose of organizing the convention be referred, (together with the creden- tials of the lay delegates.) to a committee of five to re- port whether any names of ministers are placed on such list who are not entitled to s in the Convention, or whether the names of aay so entitled are omitted there- from, and also to report upon the sufficiency of the cer. tificates of the lay delegates, and their right to their seats, and that upon the coming in of the report of such com: mittee, the Conventien will decide upon the rights to ats of such ministers and lay delegates whose cases may be specifically reported by the Committee, and that the Committee have leave to act during the Convention, and that all persons who have now been rec members of this Convention b the above committee report, a and acommittee composed’ of t! appointed, viz Kev’s.

Luter Brapisn rose and said, that he had now to bring a matter of deep interest before the Cou- vention, Since their last meeting, their late Diocesan by the highest judgment, had been suspended from the sacred office aid functions of a Bishop. Here Mr. D. B. Oapen interrupted him by steting, that it was against the rules of the Canon to proceed to more business during the first day than that laid dewn by it Judge Duen saidt at inasmuch as they took a recess yesterday, this was still the first day of the Convention Mr. Kerenum said that as the motion of Mr. Bradish nown, it Was uncourteous in the extreme to thus interrupt him. The Cuan decided that he has liberty to make hir Murver in Surewspury.—A coroner's inquest was held in Shrewsbury on Monday, on the body of George Brown. Brown, who was about 60 years of age, resided alone in his small house, situated in the south part ofthe town. On Sunday night, av indian, named Braizel Mann, with his wife, came to Brown's, and remained there through the night. It seems that they had a jug of rum, of which they all drank to ly intoxication. In the morning Mann,s wife went to one ofthe neighbors, and remained till hor husband after her, when they returned to Brown’s, and, as tify, had something to eat, and again’ left’ the Mann’s wife returned between 4und 5 o'clock, a y al ave the alarm to the neigh: bors that Brown was dead. He was found with his head and arms upon downwar knees resting on the floor. ‘as then cold and stiff, and it was the opinion of a physician, that he must have been dend four or five hours, There was a large wound back of his ear, which appeared to have been made with a club or some other blunt weapon, and which the examin. ing physicians pronounced the cause of his death. There ‘ua alo ler wound on his elbow. The testimony of the Indians was very confused and contradictory, and Very evident thatthe man, at least, had been so drunk that he conld not teil, and probably did not know at the time what he was about. {le testified that he had not been away from Brown's during the day, and that Brown and he drank together, within fifteen minutes of found.

Jno. A. Spencer could not see by what authority tho entleman speaks the feelings of this Convention, Ho is not prepared to say whether this Convention, in its legislative capacity, had a right to pass upon these reso- lutions, and he himself was under the impression that the regular business should have the preference. ‘The Prxsipent did not think that any thing could be done before these resolutions were disposed of.

The reading of reports was proceeded with,and the re- port of the ‘'rustees ef the Episcopal Fund was read, in which they say that since the promulgation of the sen- tence en the late Bishop, they had taken the subject of paying the Bishop’s salary into consideration, and had coccluded that as mere fiduciary agents, they were not bound to act, and therefore resolved that they would pay to the Bishop his salary up to the 3d of January last, and that they would retain the subsequent interest,amountin, $1,766 69, subject to the order of the Convention; an that they had applied to the Legislature, and had obtain- edacharter constituting them a body politic to take charge of the fund.

The diocese condition of a flock without a herd, and there was such a vote given this morning that the matter must not be allowed to slumber. when there must be a separation between the Bishop of this diocese and the church, for we can ne long: er respect him, because we can no longer obey him. When it has come to that pass that a Bishop is pro- nounced guilty of impurity and immorality, n can sitate, without dishonor to, to express his opinion; it soling to see the vote given to-day, and it shows with force and energy that the late Bishop can never be restored, and if he can’t be restored, should he remain ? nd is this a situation that this, the important of all eses in the Union, should be placed in the only one out ahead to rule and govern it? is it come to this in this great community? We must look seriously and cha- ritably on the subject, and if the day should ever como that the late Bishop would retire, then we might hold up our unsullied heads, He then read the following pream- ble and resolutions :— Ata meeting of the Rector Wardens and Vestry of Grace Church, Jamaica L: 1., on the 29th day of August, 1845, to choose delegates to attend the anaual Conve: tion’ of the diocese, the following preamble and reso- lutions were offered, and after discussion, unanimously adop' Whereas, the present condition of the diocese, arising from the suspension of its Bishop from his holy effice and ministrations by the decision ofa ceurt recoguised by the canons ofthe Church, isone ofthe deepest interest and regret to all good churchmen, and as the unity, and wants of the diocese require that such a things should terminate as soon and as quietly be, and as none have a greater or d early and safe settlement of this qu body of the Laity of this dio ‘Therefore, Resolved, as th berate opinion of this Vestry, that the resignation of the Bishop ci under the circumstances of the case, accomp! great end and desire of every true churchman, the ration of the diocese to its late prosperous and unite position, and in the event of such resignation, that an adequate provision shouldbe made for bis future sup port.

The report of the Standing Committee of last year wes then read, in which they say that on the tta day of Ja- nuary last, a communication by the Rev. Puilander Chase reached them, containing a sent pension of Bishop Onderdonk from all m jal tims, and requiring the same to be promulgated; came their duty to ascertain the true intent of the tence, for had it been deposition, there would have been no dilliculty. ‘The Standing’ Committee referred the subject to a Sub-Committee, as it was a provide for in the canons, and doubt minds of many, a course was proposed of intended action of tue Committee to the Bishop, to which he assented. @n the 7th of February last, some candid orders applied to be ordained; the Committ toapply to the Bishop of New Jersey to ordain th but he declined, as did the Bishop of Col qr subsequently applied to ot ; whe Lil onthe ground that as th Standing Commi thority to act in the premisos.
