Malls for Europe. ‘The Britannia, Captain Hewitt, will, leave Boston to-morrow noon for Halifax and Liverpool. ‘The Evening Edition of the Herald, with the latest intelligence from Oregon, Texas, Mexico, Canada, the Markets, Theatricals, &c., will be published at 8o’clock, this afternoon, in time for the mails which close in this city at half-past four.

This is her eleventh day. The Astounding Disclosures of New York | Party Politics by William L. Mackenzie. We commence to-day the defence of our reputa- tion, as far as we can consistently avail ourselves of | the materials before us; and also a defence of those persons associated with us in the political contests | of this State and the Union previous to the year 1833, by republishing from Mackenzie’s pamphlet a number of the letters attributed to Benjamin F Butler, who, it appears. occupied a distingui-hed position in the Van Buren party for nearly twenty years, in this State, and throughout the Union We are impelled to this defence as much fiom the ma lignant slanders and unprincipled conduct of Macken zie, as from a wish that our skirts should be cleared of the charges made, or which may be preferred | against allthose men concerned iathe melancholy business of making Martin Van Buren P esident o the United States, and elevating Bim assyciates in | this State to the highest offices in the Uilion contess with the deepest contrition, on our bended knees, with tears ia our eyes and humilitrion in our heart, that we participated in the sinfuluess of en- deavoring for nearly ten years, between 1824 and | 1834, to elevate Mr. Van Buren to the position which | he eventually occupied, and raising up to that grea: | eminence of official favor and patronage, ull those men by whom he was surrounded io this great State. By confessing our sins in the most penitent manner, we expect to obtain forgiveness trom a | generous and high-spirited people. It is now ten | years since we repented, and we believe that we | have been forgiven, particularly when we look back | upon the support and patronage which we have re- | ceived from the same people, on account of the independent course which we have pursued since the period of our conversion to the true faith of | liberty, equality and right. We give the material letters contained in ths extraordinary pamphlet, which are attributed to Benjamin F. Butler. They are curious,remarkable, extraordinary, and new to the public, although they | contain nothing new to us, who have been long ini- | tiated in the secrets of the Van Buren and every other party in this State and throughout the country. | These letters, it will be perceived, treat of finance | and piety in different proportions. Mr. Butler, with a great deal of natural genius and a singular mixture | ot devotion to God and love for banking, has yet a great many traits of character thar are honorable to | him, and which have attained for him high distine- | tion in the various parties and cliques throughout | the country, It appears from these letters, that Mr. | Butler occupied the distinguished position of the | Friar Tuck of the Van Buren brotherhood. He was | the only gospel advocate of the whole set. He says | the prayers. He reasons of righteousness and the | judgment to come. He exhorts all to a godly walk and conversation. He pronounces the supplications | to Heaven. He invokes the Deity. He is in fact | the only one that seems to be at allconcerned about the stated preaching of theGospel among the Van Bu- renmen. Formyselt,| confess that although amember | ofthe Holy Catholic Church, I was defifietent in that | active and inherent piety which Mr. Butler has so | modestly professed and consistently practised. But | along with these devout feelings and sentiments we find in Mr. Butler the equally useful attributes of | financial science and skill; although they failed in | the Washington and Warren affair, and in various other concerns. Wer Yet he was a remarkable man.— | Born of low parentage, on the banks of the Hudson, | {2re*? | in some grogshop in Columbia county, he was early , taken in hand by Martin Van Buren and ele- | vated to be a politician. His natural genius, | perhups owing to the spirituality of his extraction, prompted him to piety and to love the preaching of the gospel; and thus, whilst he was devising ways and means to pay the specie to the people of Sandy Hill, and to sustain a bank there, he was | seems he mixed public money with private, public pa- | Claste piece of acting than that of “ Julia, equally busy in seeking the Lord, and wrestling as | hard for divine favour as ever did Oliver Cromwell, or any of the cropped heads of that enlightened and eminently holy age. | Yet, let not the men of this world, the sinners and | scoffers all round about the country, sneer at the | piety of Ben Butler, or consider that it was merely a cloak to hide Kjs financial sins and his financial | operations. The financial principles and the morale which distinguished the management ot the Washington and Warren Bank are just the same—neither better nor worse—neither higher nor lower, than those which regulate the bank concerns of every other financial institution throughout the country. The day will come when this will be made manifest of all the banking instr tutions in the land, and that Benjamin F. Butler and the Washington and Warren Bank have been venial when compared with some of their contemporaries who call themselves men of undoubted respectability and excellent religion. In another point of view, the financial and pious principles which meander through the beautiful epistles of Mr. Butler, may be considered as forming some of the foundation stones of the subsequent movements of the Van Buren party, and which enabled them to reach the highest offices in the State of New York over the ruins of all other parties, and ultimately, through the blended patriotism and piety of General Jacksov, to reach the Presidency of the United States and rule th great and noble Republic for four years, and alni coming within an ace of getting it for four years longer, instead of Mr. Polk. Mr. Butler’s mingled piety and finance are not more reimarkable than the efforts in both departments of heaven and earth, which distinguished the career of Ex-Governor Seward and his worthy associates who once held power in thie State. We all recollect his efforts to conciliate the Catholics, and the result of those ei- forts. In fact the politicians of both parties are all alike, and we are very much disposed to believe that in point of purity the democratic politicians are even a little better than some of the whig politicians Thus much to-day. Mr. Butler, we rather think, will stand better‘after the perusal of his letters—ot his confidential correspondence with “dear Jesse Hoyt,” than he has for some time past. ‘There ir some relief to the sober realities of humbug in re- lation to paper money, when we find it imbued with the deepest concern for the stated preaching of the gospel. The only recommendation in a gospel point of view, to that movement which led to the elec- tion of Mr. Van Buren, is to be found in the strictly religious character of Mr. Butler. He was, as we have already said, the Friar Tuck—the Chaplain— the Saint—the man ot God—the Prophet—the Isa- yah and the Jeremiah of the whole concern. In the wilderness of selfishness, intrigue, folly and corrup- tion, Mr. Butler’s piety and grace spring up like coo} clear springs of healing water, beantifully fringed with all manner of gospel flowers. Our connection with Mr. Butler has been very slight. We have known him asa solitary Saint in the cloisters of St. Tammany—a St. Simon Stylites, elevated on his pillar of superior sanctity, far above the profane multitude. But the Saint has not given all his thoughts to heaven. He has obeyed the gospel in- Janetion, and “ been diligent in business,” whilst he was “serving the Lord.” He has generally been pretty active, and manifested a deep interest, when anything was to be done in the way of distributing | the spoils, and on great occasions we have seen him | ing in such company. So look out. | ty, woul | dere is 4 wiitten statement to that | chau I would be with a higher salary obtained byturning | tents get on the stand, and assume the responsibility ot expressing the sentiments of the democratic party. But the day of all these heroes—gospel or no gosyel —of Van Burenism—! passed away forever — | They have crossed the river Jordan, and hereafter must be content to make the best of the sweets that private life can afford. | We shall now go on and give our views of the | correspondence of Mr. Van Buren, ex President of | the United States; also of John Van Buren, and of the other leaders and master spirits of the demo- | cracy, including ourself. In giving their correspon- | dence along with our own, we think we will be able | to make some defence of the character of the au- thors, tor we think that we were not wholly Wrong | in those days, although we properly repented of be- | | Tuer Avruors or THe McKenzie Discrosurss.— | This subject is snl undergoing investigation by the Police, with what evceess we have not been able to ascertain. In the meantime, we find in a | morning paper of yesterday, the following state- | ment, embraced ina long arnele from Wilham L.

The statement that Mr. Hoyt had a private trunk there is also unt ne—and it is untrue that there was any box marked in any way “private” or “private papers,” | either of Vir. Hoyt or any other person. } The tacts ubout opening the box, to which the Editor | of the Courier, 4r. Webb, correctly alluded last Tues- | day, are these On Thursday, May 15, last, Mr. Goldson told me he had orders from Mr Bogardus, Assistant Collector, to break .pen any and all of the custom-house boxes that | | were locked, without keys, and their contents unknown, | to surttheir contents into three thousand new pigeon | hoiesthen nearly finished, if of use, and if not to send | boxes and contents to the attic, where there are perhaps two hundred tons more of miscellaneous ‘records.’ He | then begin te force open one of tl boxes, marked ‘J & L Hoyt's Law Papers’—called Ed- | war Stansbury, the carpenter, (who, with his brother | John Stansbury aud James Armstrong, were then work- | ing in the apartment.) to wid him, and Stansbury broke a | large screw-driver twice, while opening it. ‘The con- | s, Lae the conteats of nearly two hundred or three | ne boxes was a mixture of every thing, | papers, newspapers, circu- | eps, love ‘letters, letters from | Mrs. Andrew Jackson, letters about law | for offices, and papers about the gold | ir.

MACKENZIE. | New York, Sat, Sept 27, 1845 | By this it would appear that a number of letters, | not published, are in existence. [t would seem, al- | 80, that the Collector, and all those in office with him, Mr. Bogardus and others, who have endeavor- ed to exculpate thenmelves, were more or leas ac- | quainted with the discovery of those letters and the | character of their contents. Auother singular thing has been stated in a card of Robert Tyler, published in Philadelphia :-— No. 10 Soutn SeventH Street, ? Puritan's. Sept. 20th, 1845. § To the Editor of the Sentinel— Sir—It has occasioned me some surprise to read an | editorial article in your paper of this morning, in refe- fence to the “Hoyt and Butler Correspondence,” in which my nai made to figure quite conspicuously. I’ is trne thet I did ask of Mr. Curtis the appointment | of Mr viackenzie. I knew Mr. Mackenzie to be poor, | and to have beeu unfortunate; and he appeared to be a man of talevts, of modest deportment, and | believed him tobe a man of interity. Ihave never seen him more than three or four times in my life by his many friends that he was literally harassed with the cares of a large family. the commonest cor ions of humanity, I did not is appointment from Mr. was refused me. Gov. Van Ness subsequently appointed him to some insignifi- cant place in the customs. Since then I have n seen Mr. Mackenzie, and have had no communic: with tim Ta e that he has been guilty o! the offences imputed to him. The ivea that my father knew of the existence of this correspondence, is xbsolutely absurd. Your obedient servant, ROBT. TYLER. Robert Tyler here states that neither he nor his father knew anything of tie publication before it appeared. This denial will go for what it is worth. Tyler acknowledges that he was the means of plac- ing Mackenzie in the Custom House, and no one | wil beheve out that old Tyler and young Tyler, and all their confederates, had some knowledge of this vost extraordinary movement, in order to destroy | the Van Buren dynasty in this State. They may jeny it as much as they please, but the public will believe just as much ot it as they think proper. In- jeed, according to Mackenzie’s own statement,pub- lished under his own hand, which we have given, there can be no doubt that all the leading politicians ot the Custom House knew what was going on, ust as well as Mackenzie himeelf; and if all the leading men of the Custom House knew what was going on, and the characier of these letters, as it appeared they did, for months before they appeared, we can hardly resist the conclusion that Tylerknew of it too. No one, indeed, will believe the contrary. Miss Dricy.—To the great disappointment of the patrons of the English opera, and the sincere regret of her numerous triende, Miss Deley was not suf- jiciently recovered to appear last night, and it is not deemed prudent for her to attempt completing her engagement for a few nights longer. Her indispo- sition—a catarrhal affection—is not serious, but has produced a hoarseness, which cannot be ex- pected wholly to disappear for a few days.

Jt seems this operator, during rhe panic in relation to Mexico, was a “ bear” in the market, and sold out stocks ahead, at low prices, in | immense quantities. After a short time, the news trem Mexico made it very evident that no war | | would ensue for the present, and that great loss | would ensue by his operations ; he turned round and | became a “bull.” This was an effort to “ hedge,” | as it might be said; but it was too late—so, a few | days ago, he went by the board, for an immense | amount, and itis generally believed that the “ Union | Club,” composed principally, it is eaid, of specula- | tors, are ‘‘ in for it” considerably. It will be recol- lected that this Club at present occupy a house in | Broadway, a short distance from Canal street, and | | owned by William B. Astor. A splendid residence | isin process of erection for them, near Niblo’s, to which they will remove next winter or spring, un- less the payment of the differences on their agent’s speculations do not break up the association alto- | gether. The subject is all the talk in Wall streets | and the grand mistake of the Club is laughed at in all directions. Mr. Potx’s Ongan.—What a fool old Ritchié is? to be sure!

It | is said that Mackenzie’s disclosures have produced | such a shock in the camp as will prevent further | movements, until intelligence be received from Washington. It will be recollected that Mr. Law- rence, the Collector, and Mr. Butler, District Attor” ney of this city, have both to be passed upon by the Senate at its next session, and very serious doubts of their confirmation are entertained. DistincutsHED ARRIVALS.—Major Gen. W. Scott, commander of the forces, accompanied by his fami- ly and aid-de-camps, arrived at the American Hotel yesterday from West Point. Col. Thorn, arrived yesterday in the packet ship Zurich, from Havre, accompamed by Mrs. Thorn, Mrs. Jaunery, the remainder of his family, including M. Count de Terussac, Countess de Terussac, ard six servants, all of whom occupy eighteen apart. ments at the Astor House. Rev. Dr. Ryper arrived at Philadelphia last | Wednesday, after a tedious passage from Leghorn. He assumes the Presidency of the College ef the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachussetts. The numerous friends of the reverend and talenied gentleman will hail his return with unaflected pleasure. Surcrpe or rue Hon.

Pans Tukatne.—Sheridan Knowles’ “ Hunchback’ wasgiven in this Theatrs last night, to a good house, with striking effect. © Master Walter” was hit to a Mr. Basa; Roberts’ made a shining “ Lord Tin- | sal,” De Walden’s “ Modus” was quite respectable; and | the drollery of Fisher, in “Fathom,” quite unfathoma. ble, All the other parts were also properly filled; and as a whole, it was a harmonious and chaste performance Mrs. Bland sustained the character of “ Julia,” and Mr. Bland that of “ Sir Thomas Clifford;” and here it | must not be forgotten that Mrs. Abbott, as “ Helen,’s | looked charming, and lent a cheerful, playful vivacity to the entertainment, that was very observable. A more is not within the compass of the histrionic art. Now the artless, un, sophisticated country beauty; anon, the lady of fashion at one time the another the enamoured lover and now the victim of her ambitious va- ,orthe sport of her passion, to be avenged of Sir mas, and which drives her to sign the hateful mar- riay tract with the Earl of Rochdale; in all those passages—but above all in the principal scene with the “ Secretary”—great power of expressing the passions of the human breast was evidenced. Mr. Bland is a culti- vated and methodical artist; he does not make an effort, and yet accompli object—that of pleasing. The audience indicated this, for the most concentrated atten- tion was given throughout the whole evening; and when the curtain fell, the pent-up feelings broke their barrier, and burst forth in loud and continued plaudits. Mr. and Mrs. Bland were called out, and fairly oppressed with the approbation ot the house. To-night, Mrs. Bland is to ap racter of * Belvidera,” in the pl A crowded quite cert Bowery Tueatre.—Last evening Messrs. Cony und Blanchard, with their wonderful dogs, who have become | i | ar in the beautiful cha. of Venice Preserved celebrated in Europe and Ameri je their first ap- pearance atthe Bowery Theatre in the drama of the “Highland Drover.” It would hardly be believed, with- out actual observation, that dogs could be so well trained as to perform so well as they did their parts in the drama. The fidelity and attachment which form so large a part of the dog’s instinct were finely portrayed by these no ble animals—and the cunning which has been taugh them wis admirably sustained. Messrs. Cony and Blan chard sustained their characters with great force and beauty. Previous to the drama the play of “Ugolino” wa performed, and the evening closed with the new national drama of the “ Black Rangers,’’ of the merits of which we have already spoken. The house wes crowded, as i probably will be on every night during the engagemen of Messrs. Cony and Blanchard, with their wonderfuy dogs. To-night the same bill is presented. Castie Ganpen.—Last night the Burlesque Company presented “ Buy-I-Dare,” acapital burlesque upon Au ber’s celebrated opera of ‘La Bayadere.” During the opera, several of the best dances of the original were performed in very good style. Previous to the opera, & concert of vocal music was given by the company This is the last woek of the burlesque opera company and of course all who relish a good burlesque will give them a call. Paumo’s.—Last evening the Eth! opened with new budget of songs and glees. ‘The honse was crowd ed,as it has been every evening since they have been here. Persons are never tired of listening to the sweet strains caused by the harmony of their voices. The la- dies are delighted, the gentlemen are delighted, anu the children are delighted. Every body who goes, sponds an evening pleasantly and leaves sorry that he canney listen longer. Nisxo’s.—Last night the “Stranger,” with Mrs. Mow att os Mrs. Haller,and Mr. Crisp aa the Stranger, was performed before a large and highlyfashionable audience at Niblo’s. The character of Mre. Haller is one in which is blended the nature, naturally kind and benevolent, with the soul deeply stung by remorse, and endeavoring, by giving full play to its former traits, to +tre for the sin which has brought misery upon it.

The U.S. steam frigate Princeton, Capt. Engle, arnved at Pensacola on the 20th instant, in a short passage from Vera Cruz. We have received by her intelligence of an inte resting character, from our correspondent at Vera | Cruz, to the 18th inst. It now seems to be settled, almost beyond a ques- tion, that there will be no war, nor difficulty of any sort with Mexico. All the hopes and prayers of the Mexicans have been completely dissipated by the course that England and France have taken, and she is compelled'to fall upon her own imbecility. It was confidently expected in Mexico that the annexation of Texas to this Union, would lead toja rupture between the United States and England, and npon that expectation Mexico based all her bluster and threats. In failing to get assistance in the shape of a war, or some thing like one, from Eng- land, poor Mexico is torced to withdraw into a peaceful attitude, and assume an amiability not all fitting to her blustering character. Annexed is a despatch from our correspondent :— Vera Cruz, Sept. 13, 1845.

FoorrRacE BETWEEN JACKSON, THE «AMERICAN Deer, AND Bartow, at THE Beacon Course, Hono- kEN—GreatT Excirement anp Bertina.—The at- tendance yesterday at the above ground was most numerous, and for some time before the sport of the day commenced the scene was most enlivening.— Betting was most extensive—100 to 70 was offered freely and as freely taken; on Jackson 100 to 75 was the ultimate figure, at which considerable business was done—we never saw so much moncy staked on any previous occasion, as there was on this, at the above figures. Several thousands in the space of an hour was depending on the result—the backers of both parties were most sanguine, not more so than Barlow himeelf, for when he came to the starting point he raised himself on tip toe with a ten dollar billin his hand, exclaiming “ ten dollars! beat him.’* No sooner said than done, a youth stepped forward and posted the money. A similar spirit appeared to prevail all around—* $1000 to 700” might be heard in one quarter ; “done, taken,” was the response. | ‘$100 to 75” again was shouted ; ‘done, taken,” was again the rejoinder, and as quick as possible was the money posted in responsible hands; ‘75 cents to a dollar on Barlow,” was the next to meet the ear; “I'll take you,” was the answer. No sooner said than done—and so they went on to sixpences and shillings. A The competitors being present, the judges appoint- d for the occasion gave notice that if there was any interference in the running—should any one cross, jostle, or otherwise impede their course, the 6 akes would not be given up without a private test of pow- ers. This announcement was received with appro- bation, and both men prepared for the start.

For som E pal Convention. The Eecenl Grete assembled according to ad- journment, from Saturday afternoon, at 9 o’cloc! 08 terday morning in St. John’s church. It was well lied with spectators, in the course of the day, but at the com- mencement of the proceedings there was no want of m in the edifice "ORev. Mr. Van Kixex, of Albany, read the scriptures nd prayer was offered up by Rev. Mr. Harriman. Af- the religious service, a considerable interval elapsed before the business was commenced. ‘The Presivenr called the Convention to order, at half past 10 o'clock. ‘The Secrerany arose to read to the body a not! dressed to the clergy and lay delegates, as indiv: requesting them to leave their names with the Assistant Secrotary, and directi n di to their address cop 8 of the proceedings of the Con- vention whgp published. He also read an invitation put into his hands, inviting members to visit the Ivory Statue of Christ, now on exhibition in Broadway in this city. The reading of the minutes of the last session occupied the next few minutes, and were at once approved, a very brief interval having elapsed. ‘: ‘The Presipent arose with a solemn air, and said— Gentlemen of the Convention, clerical and lay, for thir- ty years I have been a member of thi tion, and during that time ni all its ions and been present at all its proceedings; but that period I was exhibited on never saw nor heard such a scen of ministers of the Gospel—of ambassadors of Christ of laymen the most conspicuous in the church for piety, wisdoan prad station—members of Christ, children of (od, inherit f the Kingdom of Heaven, communi cants of the church, partakera of the body and blood of the crucified Savior—the nds of law, of justice, of good order, and of truth, presenting such a sce: order, confusion, and tumult, such as could have be only from a lawless assembly. And what wi what the occasion? To prevent the ques- tion berg taken on a resolution, of which one of your body, honorable and learned—aye, and high minded and candid, declared he had not heard a single solid objec- tion, and which, when the question was taken, was ap- proved with scarce a disseutient voice. | need not say this was wrong.

Holy and righteous men, men of peace, of power, of faith, will you not unite witn the chair, and save trom deseoration the place of God’s sanctuary, and prevent the church, of which you ave siucere and exemplary nbers, from being wounded in the presence of het of fairness and confidence, when you have chosen one ef your own number; by an unanimous vote made bon your presi a his duties, or will you con- id grief, mortification and rved. I will—I will pre- man in this house, every every prudent man, every , to aid me in keeping it. The president's address, which appeared to make a deep impression on the house, being finished, a momber made afew remarks, which were not generally heard, but which were understood to be expressive of regret for his share in the scene alluded to. One or two others did the same. On motion of the Secretary,the order of the day was pended to receive a report trom the Committee appoint ed to inqui to the Constitution of the presentConven- ibility of the delegates, Clerical and Lay, and whether there were any present who were net cn: titled, by a strict observance of the Canons bearing on the question. The gistofthe Report set forth that after mature inquiry they were compelled to regard the ma- jority ofthe delegates as not legally qualified, there being a rule or law requiring a regular list of the dele- gates to be kept by the Secretary from year to year. In this case it had not been complied with, an omission for which the present Secretary was not to blame, as he ne- ver received any such list or intimation of its necessity from his predecessors. The report also discussed the legality of admitting Professors of Colleges, ex-officio, and dwelt particularly on the case of Professor Park, of West Point, who, as,belonging to a military ot to be re; ied as a member of the Convention resolution was appended to the Report : fihat a Committee of five be appointed to take into consideration the existing canons regulating and prescribing the qualificegion requisite for becoming members of this Convention, with instructions to pre- pare anewcanon covering the whele matter if it be thought nec 'y, and report to the next Convention. The Secretary informed the House that it had always been customary to admit Professors of caneg 8 ems bers of the Convention (cites several cases.) He thougut Professor Park, of West Point, as much entitled to a seat as any one else. A Memuer here made a few cursory remarks, and corrected a misapprehension of what had been said on a former day, which he learned had given offence toa much esteemed brother. He ended by proposing au amendment to the resolution ofthe Committee, to the ef- fect that Professor Park was entitled to a seat in the House. One or two members spoke very briefly and the amend- mont was withdrawn. : The Presipenr then put the resolution of the Commit- mittee, which passed without a division. ‘The following ‘entlemen were named to serve on this Committee: Rev. Dr. Taylor, Rev. Mr. Mead, Rey. Dr. Forbes, Mr. J. A. Hamilton, Mr. Hamilton Fish. The order of the day was here taken up on the follow- ing resolution of the General Committee:— Sehat to remove all doubts as to the duty of the Stand- ing Committee under the canons of this diocese, to pro- vide for the performance of those Epi bitn in the discharge 2 to subject hin to pail reprosches?

By adding the following at the end of the said s tion But in all cases where, in the opinion of the Standing Committee, acts of the Episcopal office are necessary, for, or within this diocese, during a vacancy in the Epis- copate, or during the inability, disability, or absence from the diocese of the Bis he Standing Committee shall invite a Bishop of this Church to perform such acts, the expense of which will be provided for by the Convention of the Dioce: Hon. J. C. Srexcex addressed the house in support of the resolution. He directed their attention to tueir pe- culiar and difficult position without a diocesan, for of that there could be no doubt, such being already the declaration of the house. By the Constitution, the Standing Committee were case of a vacancy to provide for the performance of those episcopal acts necessary to the maintenance of a church; but there was no provision made in other cases. It must be kept in mind that there are two classes of Episcopal acts; one, appertaining to the office, ano- ther imposed by the authority of the Convention. ‘The 10th canon instructed the Standing Committee as to what they should do to procure the performance of that class of functions which appertained to a Bishop only; they were to invite the services of the Bishop of some other Diocese, But here is 8 case of disability, which was not covered by the Canon—about which it was silent, and they were calico. upon to remedy the want. he distinction between the performance by themselves, and the invitation ol another to perform those duties, was clear and plain. Dr. Tayton made an observation or two, which were not heard, but they were understood to dissent irom the views of the speaker. Hon, J.C. Srexcen said the remarks juat ma up the whole case in the form of tne question, whether, in case of disability or inability they hed a Bishop! Already the Convention had devi had no Bishop, and that the Standing Committee ustified in what they had done. Dr. Taytor--Ob, 1 am perfectly willing to say we have no Bisuop, (Longhter Hon J ¢ nenn.— Where do we stand? ‘The Con- vention bas declared the Comnm'tee justified by the cir- w placed in, in inviting another iscopal functions. But the Canon ; teays nothing of disability ndis i tue way. It is for the purpose, e brought therefore , carrying out the principle already embodied ua the resolution, that the addition is propos in order nut the Committee may not hesitate in the performance { toeir duties. br. Tyo arose, but was delayed a moment by the peaker who suid he had not quite finished. "He then said 1am sorry, sir,to oppose the remarks of the gentleman, 10 Wish to oppose contentiously this or any other nerve, that on this, as well ay every re is a straight trodden path,and a by- path not known to common sense, and every step we take in settling incidental considerations, we take a step ‘owards settling the essential question in which we are concerned. That question is perfectly settled in my mind, and although do not wish to enter particularly into it now, [hope to be able on a tuture vocasion to show that we are without a bishop; that being so, I find great difficulty in reconciling contingencies with the ‘acts as thay arise. Ifthe Bishop is suspended, as in the opinion of the Committee, where is the use in them seeking new powers, when they are made by the act the diocesan of the diocese. It ix w principle of Episcopicy, as well as of the marriage contract, that the obligations imposed are sacred. Ita weman is bound toa husband by that holy rite, she cannot be separated; and if a bishop who has been attached to his diocese be living. it isnot within human power to take from that man his functions, and therefore it is not possible for us te meet this question, but in thin simple form—Are wa without & bishop? Now, it has been declared we are, and I am Perfectly prepared to maintain it still. Now, 1 do not wish to discuss this topic at length, but | insist on the general attention being turned to this as the solar poit ot legislation—itis not inthe power of this body to take ‘rom the Bishop that authority which by their own act he received by the id by the appoiat- ment of the Church ly was | struck with tne letter of the Bishop of New Jersey on this subject, the ! cannot remove the impre: rom my mind, I wor der was it entirely by acc: that it was written on 3’.

They took the bishoprick of our diocesan, and in he opinion of the standing committee there is @ vacen. vy. What need, then, is thore for altering the canons ‘say the Episcopal functions cannot be wrested from the Bishop. I hold myselfas owing no allegis power but the Episcopate, by whom | was ac this diocese. If the committee persist in ment, I shall hold myself bound to protest against it has been said that the committer met the que: directly. 1am perfectly willing to stand by the uecision of the Convention, and with it say we have no Bishop. It the diocese is vacant, the standing committee needs no instructions, for their work is perfectly plain. No more do they require directions, ifthere is no vacancy. Ifyou can put into the hands of the committee the powers of the individual nolding the diavése, Ki t yo reelves; if you do not, you cannot give it. Now, as to the con nent ofthe Bishop aa to what has been already done, it seame to tne that to so speak is to make a distinction without a difference in fact. Who willsay that an indi- vidual claiming to be the diocesan of this diocese, would simply have contented himself with giving an endorse- ment of the duties performed already, if he were not re- strained by some power from ‘doi #0 himself?

If you can provide a method of relief. He canvall in ti aid of another Bishop. If he is disabled permanently sickness or infirmity, the Convention is called upen But there is no principle—no lay by which the standing committee can come it and tal possession of the functions of the Bishop while he liy, Will you tell that is a disabi p doctrines of necessity inthis Church? Are wo to « because there has been a necessity for interference to adopt and perpetuate it? I put it to this Co | vention, whether any man can do rightly an uojy) thing? Mr. President, we must meet the question. Lith the living diocesan is our diocesan or not. If he is, 1 disability can allow the stand: 1] committee to asa is powers. The case of disability is provided for; 11] diocesan may obtain aid from those competent; but he is so disabled as to be incompetent, this Conventi: can give us an assistant. The gentleman says the stran; Bishop has no right tocome; but we have aright to w him to come. I totally demur to that doctrine. It is much ‘aman has not @ right to do an unju thing, aright to ask him to do it. [affirm t prope tly, that the diocese is without Bishop; and I conclurle that the standing commit the necessary powers of administration. chure of the Annunciation, te! foundatioa lasta, I will consent to the ere fice but onit. Ifthe dioces mittee b: noe ° js vacant, the fending col full power now; if they do not understand to be vacant, the Convention can give them no power provide a substitute for a living Bishop, and of carryi: ‘on the duties of the diocese. Dr. Tyng’s further ob vations were to the same purpose. Rev.

Srencer here said that as one of the committ: he had no right on their pert to admit ef the prepos amendment, but that individually he had no sert of jection, and the amendment was accordingly passed. Dr. MeVicxan said that the question was now merd one of consistency. By an unanimous vote en Saturd| they had justified the Standing Committee in what th had doze, that they now proceeded to make th canons ¢ pond with the spirit and letter of the lal and he would submit whether any otber qui arisen which the General Conveution had not for; if there are, we must provide for them; thought it proper that questions like this shenld brought forward. Mr. Dver said that ho had first supposed the sine, ment was to carry out the doctome of tae Conventt that they had aright to pass it way undoubted The oa: now declares that when required, the Staading Comy tee had all powers of this kind, but in passing this nino} ment, it would be a virtual giving up of the whule st taken by the Convention, aud moreover he eppesed it} the single ground that it was unnecessary. Mr. Jay said that he had no conscientious serup) about technicalities ; he waved them allen the inf est of the Church, and he could vote for this resolut without any doubt whatever He would nvt sacrilf the Church to the strictness of canon law. A Mentser said that he did not feel that awe of » oni] that clergymen did ; he would go for any measure| clear morality, and should cheerfully vote for the ro ution. Rev. Mr. Haicut.—When the clause passed on Sail day, by which tho calling in the aid of other Bish) was justified, he was surprised at his being the only n ative yote.

The canons of the church meant what tl] , and this is a subject must be settled befere t)| did any thing else. On the deathjof Bishop Hobart, « convention elected Bishop Onderdonk; what were conditions? That a majority of the convention and bish consented. Did they not consent? He received the a; tolic trust, and he has retained it. The Court of Bish has not deposed him, and what right have we to take trust from them. ‘The moment we begin to read a ca and interpret it to mean what it does not, in what a 4! we place ourselves. Has it come to this, that the « vention of New York is the first to say that canons m what they do not? I cannot believe it. ‘The bishep tains the trust; the committee nevor have claimed return of it. There has been much sullering talked o existing in this diocese; there is not so much sufferin, there shame and mortification One thing must settled, bishop or no bishop; and he thinks in his p way he has shown there is one in existence. Rev. Mr. Meap wished the Chair to allow the ques to be taken on the dth resolution, as all the debate tur on that Joun C. Spencer said the principles were totally tinct. Surely the Committee had some credit tora | commen sense, and he did not expect such nonsens be putin their mouths, He said the debate war goin; very properly.

Rev. Mr. Vivrow felt that this amendment was es tially wrong. The point is whether we have autho to amend the canon. Ii there be a Bishop, the Siw» Committee have not the authority; if there is not, t had intruded themselves into the oilice. Thus is state of the case to a plain mind, untrained to the nr ties oflaw.
