At six o’clock the House wa: led to order, and the Secretary read the second prop amendment to the TOth canon, in the following wo: “But in all cases where, in the opinion of the standing committee, acts of the Episcopal office are necessary, for or within this dios dusing a vacancy in the Epis. copate, or during the ility, disability or absence from the diocese, ofthe Bishop, the standing committee shall invite a Bishop of this Church to perform such acts, the expense of which will be provided for by the Con. vention of the diocese.” . Jno. ©, Spencer proposed to lay this amendment on the table, on the ground that it is the same in substance to the 3rd resolution. A Memuex would like to know if Mr. Spencer acts un- der the advice of the committee. Mr. Srencen said he did The questien of laying the amendment on the table was then put and carried, ‘The Sxcuerany then read the fourth tmeudment, posed to be made to the same canva. “This Convention being deeply sensible of the hazard: ous condi'ion of the dioceso, and o¢ the absolute necessi- ty of some effectual and permanent provision being male for the performance of Episeotal acts there “Herolved, That the delegates trom th pro jocese, in the General Convention le tecired to use all proper efforts to obtain the enscément of such canons by the General Convention as are adapted to the case of «Sus. pentod Bishop in any divcese, and will allo tien of another, with, full the elec- icopal authority in himseif, Ey and He no way dep-sndent on the, Bishop during his sus. Oant‘gy enquired of the chairman if the com- mittee prope ged to address the convention, as he (Judge ©) was s!outto propose an amendment. ‘It is evident, coutinusd Judge U., that the gentleman who proposed _ "aendmont are looking to the restoration of the Bi- sho. to the exercise of his episcopal functions; he infers ‘aut it ia the objet of the committ ‘ton asto make it apply to the ca: shop, and the election of an a take charge of the diocese during such suspension, and are evidently looking forward to the action of the general convention, when that convention would re- a suspended Bi- tant Bishop, to storehim. I si Faas that their line of action is learly that of looking to the restoration of the Bii op practicable event. I donot hesitate to say that our o is to sever the connexion of the Bishop with the dive: The amendment which I propose is toadd at the end of the resolution the followin, “But in udgment of this Convention, no modifica- tion of the said canon shall be made which in any con- tingency, would lead to the restoration of the Rt. Rev B. T. O.to his former episcopal and ministerial func- tions in this diocese. It being the solemn belief of this Convention that such a restoration can never take place with any, prospect of usefulness to the church of God.” It will be conceded on all hands that if the facts on Which the late Bishop was tried and convisted, are true, no man in this body can say that he ought to be restored to jurisdiction in this diocese. At the outget, many in- dividuals thought that ifthe charges were true, they Were not of that serious magnitude as would lead'to his suspension, butthose feelings have subsided. I do not, of course, mean to consider the question whether there is any ground of doubting the truth of those charges; it is suificient for me that they have been disposed of by the proper authority, but “a large number do believe them, and think that the Bishop cannot be restored after boing convicted on them. About the sentence, a great many differ, but of the Propriety of the conviction, they have no doubt, and consider whether he is a Bishop or not; still he ought not to be the Bishop of this dio cese, and that portion who believe the conviction w: proper, cannot ever acquiesce in any course which has the restoration of the Bishop in view, and the committee ought never toleok forthe restoration of the Bish J.C. Spexcen thinks the amendment offered a tute for the proposition of the majority, ‘The one is ad- dressed to the Bishop and the other to this Convention, and only a change of tactics, and is in effect the proposi- tion submitted by Christ Church, Jamaica, and the Church of the Ascension, and they all come to the same end, having in view the resignation of the Bishop. This steers clear of some of the objections inthe report, but it hus the opirit of the main objection—it addresses its opin- ions in @ manner to the conscience of the Bishop, and is thereiore subject to the objecti ready made. Tho phraseology of the amendment js thatsno modification in the said cation onght to be madeWich in any contingency, &e. Now, what is meant by any contingency? The Rec: St. Thomas has put it uupon the ground that there is 4 want of confidence in the Bishop, and there is such a would render the duties of the in the diocese; but, tor myself, ficient to say Bishop untruittul i do uot possess intelligence or foresight su: that no ‘contingency can ever happen as would justify the restorat nu of the Bishop, Suppose by possibility turn out that a conviction was procured ments, upon testimony wholly mistaken— we know that our civil courts are iull of such cases, of persons being executed upon testimony which turned out to be taise- would not such a contingency justify his restoration! [ cannot go beyond the present moment, 1 Cannot «esume the prerogative of judging of the future, that 14 »o contingency Whatever could such a state of things srise as would justify the restoration of the Bishop. ave we not heard of cases being tried on the most conclusive evidence which atterwards turned out tu be false? Your blood would run cold to read the many vases there are in the books of men being executed upon testimony, which at the time did not admit of a shadow of doubt, and upon which juries convicted without leav- ing their box, and which afterwards proved to be false, und are we to say by our votes that nothing of the kind van eccur in this case to change the aspect of this case? ‘fuss amencment ventures further than I can go, and I cannot see how it is possible to vary it as it goes on the principle, that xo contingency can’ arise in all time to come to justify the restoration of the bishop. I dare not say, that even admitting the truth of the eharges, the pure aud biameless life which he has spent and which received the commendation of people in every sphere of fe, and after suffering the utmost extent ef excruciat- ing pain and sorrow, I'dare not say that such a man may e cestored. y desires to make tke amendment as ac- ceptabie as possible to the gentleman, although he does not see much force in his argument; he will strike out the words shall be made, and insert that no modification ought to be made, which, in any contingency, gc. C. Sexxcex submits that this modification doos not atall alter the prnciple of the amendment. I putit to the gentleman's { wes to Say, if he does not thean that the Bishop can never be restored? Rev. W. Baten, of St. Barinoiomews, has been for Seven years connected with this e, and never con- sidered it his duty to occups tue time uf (ue Couvention, and does not now inten to make @ jurge draft uyou their time; but there are some puits upou which be ix con- strained torpeak.

The gentleman from St. ‘Thomas has said that the principle involved in the amendment is that which above all others he sought to get Sn expres ion of opinion upon; we do not expect that a majori.y of the Convention agree with us on this important point; this point is the cidedel where we are content to fall of gain the victory but the outworks; we tried to get diocese is vacant, and that it'was impossible in the na- ture of things that the late Bishop could be restored, and had they been permitted to come to a vote on that tion in the first instance, they would have b Ail | wanted wasto have my vote recorded. J.C. Srexcen called the gentleman to ordi ashe onfine himeelf to the subject of debate, and not travel agnin over the same ground; he is anxious to hear the gentieman, but he is clearly out of order; for admit- must ting the Bishop is not Bishop, it does not affect this of * order.”) Mr. Baren proceeds. ‘Tho resolution proposes an amendment which will meet our difficulty, by h assistant Bishop; but does not that recognise a senior Bishop? It has been contended by the Rector of the manuel Church, that of necessity Bishop Onderdonk is the Bishop of this diocese, and that we m elect an as. wublent Bishop, If look atthe seni e which was pursed upon the Bishop of Pennsylvania, we find the wuguage ised that the Bishop be suspended from exercising, publicly, all functions and offices of the min- istry,” and the court did according! the exercise of all public functions an mn from the public ex- ministry; the rentence ix suspe' ‘he sentence on the Bisho} ercise of all functions, &c. sion from the functions and offi- of New York, is 6 ces of the sacred miniatry.

Because of the nature of his offence. Show me that that tender plant, public nce, can be vio- lated and outraged with Tepualy. Bishop Onderdonk cannot be restored—and I speak it not in anger, but I put it to the heart of every member of this Convention, not here in xcitementof debate, but when this church shall be silent—when he shall have entered his private closet—when he shall have gone home, and looked upon the innocent faces of his wife and children—has he, by his vote for the restoration of the Bishop, elevated the Sioeal eancaie of rey sl aay is often bet- r argument; speaking of jury which would occur tothe piety of ee churn, Path relate what happened within my own knowledge. I was sum- moned to attend the dying bed of one of my parishion- ers—a female—and as her life grew shorter—when she was about to appear before her Maker—at that awful moment when her breath grew, fainter and fainter, and the last grain of sand had almost run, | observed that she was trying to say something; and at this most awful moment, what was the language of that dying Christian? “Oh,” said she, “ how sorry 1 am to think of the state of the church. ill such a man as Bishop Onderdonk be agua Bishop of tl en”? | Dr, Tyna now rose and said, that he is not accustomed | to tremble when he sees the face of any mortal man, “ is If approvin, ject of personal respect to hi ‘and has separated from his friends when he thought th were wrong in sustaining the individual, and could raise that mi n individual, he was willing to throw t! whole subject into the hands of the Convention; but amendment forbids silence in reference to its doctrin may receive the penite: but repentance never restores, and cannot restore public coufidence—as well might you try to restore the crystal vase which has been broken in pieces. You mayload your talle with resolutions, but they will noteturu the frown into a smile in those who would meet him in the house of God.

If the Bishop be res- tored, he will be restored as my diocesan, and I must quit the diocese, or submit to his authority. ‘The extremely full state of our columns prevents our giving, to-day, the full details of the debate that followed | on this question, and of which we took full notes; we | must at present content ou selves with saying that it | was continued till a very late hour, viz, near eleven o’- | clock, and that the following gentlemen spoke in favor ng the resolution, viz—Mr. J. Fexxemone en, Dr. Curcen, Rev. Mr. y—while the fol- lowing ‘gentlemen urged its rejection, viz—Rev. Mr. Panx of West Point, Mr.Fiovp Sairu, Rev. Mr. Van Kieex, Mr. Haicut, Mr. Forses, Dr. Warnwaicnt, Rev Mr. Vinton. The grounds on which the latter gentlemen u: rejection of this resolution and amendment were Mr. Park thought the passing of it would be an act | which was it d by Panis clamor and opinion, and altogether, his h, which we shall give to-morrow, was a very curious one. Mr. FLovp Smitn was profuse in his tpanks to him for having thus manfully come out against the resolution Mr. Forses had no objection as au individual to state that Bishop Onderdonk would act wisely in resigning ; he denied that the wish of those who opposed the passage of it wished at any future time to effect a restoration of Bishop O. to the Diocese,though he would say that scripture furnished examples of repen- tance being followed by restoration to high places, but hewished the opinions to be pressed in the resolution and amendment to be left to the action of the General Con- | vention of 1847, and Mr. Vinton expressed somewhat the same views. Mr. Haicut said he should vote against it on many grounds, and if it was lost he intended offering the following resolution : “Resolved, That this Convention, without expressing anyopinion on the legal and canonical questions growing out of the sentence pronounced by the Court of Bishops on Bishop Onderdonk (which sentence they hold to be valid until declared otherwise by some competent tri- bunal) look with confidence to the General Convention at its next session for the adoption of measures which shall effectually relieve the diocese of New York in its present emergency.” Dr. Wainwaiour did not vote for it, because it was an extreme measure which he was opposed to, and he ould support Mr. Haight’s motion, a similar one to which he had prepared, but should not now present. Mr.J. F, Coorer spoke in favor ofit, and inanswer to . Park, in a most logi ch. , and urged sage “on the score ef morality, as also Rey. Mr. Halsey. The question was finally put, and the result was as follows, viz.:—Clerical votes—ayes 40, noes 76. Lay votes—ayes 55, noes 54, and one divided, which was thrown out. Thus it was carried by a majority of one on the part of the laity, and lost by a majority of 36 on the part of the clergy; 80 the resolution was lost. ‘The house then adjourned till nine o’clock this mornin, It will bo thus seen that the Bishop has gained some more ground, there being an evident unwillingness to adopt any resolution which would tor ever cut him off from any hope of restoration to the diocese, that fate, if it be indeed re: im, being left in the hands of the General Conv n, that is, if Ar. Haight’s reso- lution passes to-day, as it is anticipated it will. Very Large From Cuiu1 any Peru.—The old packet ship Orpheus, Captain Hill, arrived yester- day from Valparaiso and along shore. We have thus received advices from Lima to the 17th of June, Valparaiso to the 29th of June, and Coquim- bo to the 7th of July. Every thing remained quiet in Chili; the finances were in a flourishing state, with a large balance in the treasury. Our Minister, Mr. Crump, was at Valparaiso, not having yet presented himself to the government. Business was dull, copper scarce,and not to be had. The Congress in Peru was in session, and have declared themselves an ordinary congress, much against the will of the Executive, they having been convoked extraordinarily, and as such, could only discuss matters that the Executive might submit to them. ‘They will endeavor to put down the milita- ry, who have so long ruled in Peru, in having revo- lutions, instead ot good beetsteaks.

Iguin is an inveterate enemy of all foreigners, and has done more to establish the pre- sent unpopular Executive, Gen.

One of the Peruvian men-ot-war which had been notified by the Haglisi: Admiral not to leave the port of Islay, at the tine the difficulty occurred with iguin, and atter suid notification, all were abandon- ed by their ofticers and crew, has sunk, and the re- ma.ning four vessels will soon foliow.

Seeley, artived yesterday, in twenty-one days from St. Domingo City, we have received letters from that place to the latest date. i: All was quiet in St. Domingo City, and on the frontiers, It was confidently expected that the re- volution would soon be terminated, much to the gratification of the Dominicans. But how long will the Haytiens keep the peace ? American produce was low and plenty. Mahoga- ny was scarce, and that in market was going to Europe. Our correspondent in St. Domingo has sent us the following interesting letter :— City or Sr. Dominco, Sept. 6, 1845. In reading some of the New York papers which came to hand through Capt Selby, of the Velasco, | noticed anarticle inthe New York Journal of Com- merce of the 30th of July, stating that they had re- ceived a file of newspapers from Port Republican, up to the 13th ulumo.

Common Councit.—The Common Council of Brooklyn met last evening, and continued in session until a very I ur. Among the petitions presented, was one praying for the removal of Marley’s distillery, which was described as a nuisance of the most intolerable cha- racter. His Honor, the Mayor, read a message vetoing certain appropriations made at a former meeting of the Board, for beautifying the city par, onthe ground that the expenses charged exceeded the logitimate taxation, and were, therefore, unconstitutional. An invitation was received from the manager of the American Insti- tute, Mr. Soole, for the members of the Board to attend its next annual celebration at Niblo’s; but it was couched in such vague terms, that the intended courtesy was almost voted down. It was, however, ultimately received. Mr. George Storm, pound master of Brooklyn, re- signed his office, in consequence of not being properly sustained in the discharge of its unpleasant duties. The Board was in “ full swing” when we left. Temeenance Mass Meetine.—A great meeting of the “Sons of Temperance” took place last evening at the j 5 ts. Many eloquent and —a great number of ng—several popular airs played by a bi in attendance from the Navy Yard—and divers at- tempts made by some light fingered gentry upon the oceiaa of divers of the faithful. Caution to Hote. Keerrns.—A half flashy, half gen- teel looking man, about thirty-five years of age, having with him a young and handsome female, in the capacity of wife, and who represents himself to be a shipmaster Waiting for a commission from the port of New York, has recently been living at the expense of various unsuspec- ting hotel and boarding-house keepers in Brooklyn and New York. His companion is said to be a woman of ve: feared that she has became the victim ofa vile seducer icable swindler. Bicamy.—A complaint will be presented be- fore the Police Magistrates of Brooklyn during the pre- sont week, incidentally involving in allfprobability, the fair fame and reputation of a very prominent and very estimable Priest of one of the Catholic churches of the city. It is stated that he, a short time ago, united in wedlock two persons, one of whom he well knew to have been previously married to another woman (then, and still living) by a Justice of the Peace ; and that he assigned asa reason for his sanctioning und solemniziag such second marriage, his belief that the obligation pre- viously contracted was morally, le; lly, and religiously void. “If such allegations should be fully sustained, the investigation will undoubtedly cause considerable ex- citement. Comrensation To Census Mansuaus.—Ata meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Kings County, on the 26th inst., it was resolved that the Marshals appointed to take the late census should be allowed two cents for each in- habitant of the county, also half a cent a head for cattle, horses and swine, in the first seven wards of the city of Brooklyn, and the 1st and 2d districts of Williamsburgh, and that they be allowed three quarters of acent ahead for cattle, horses and swine in the remaining parts of the county. nan Trainino.—The Ln militia officers of Brook- lyn have appointed this day for one of training and ser- vic, and a grand turn out is expected to take place among the hundreds of unfortunate young men who are, by virtue of a most absurd enactment, compelled to “shoulder arms,” in the shape of broom sticks, pump handles, and other equally deadly weapons. Meetine one Count or Surervisons.—The com- mittee to whom referred the completion of the front of the county jail, reported that they had advertised for proposals, but only ono had been handed in, the price charged in which was beyond their anticipations. It was, therefore, Resolved, That the committee be authorized to ascertain for what price they can procure the erection of the area wall, according to the present plan, the cost if lowered one course of stones, and the cost of the flag- ing and painting, and they report to the next meet- ing of the Board. A presentment was received from the Grand Jury, urging upon the Board the procuring of some kind ‘of labor for the prisoners confined inthe county jail, and recommending their being employed in grading and ornamenting the newly designed Washing- ton Park, or in the erection of a City Hospital. The Board adjourned to meetat the County Court Room in the City of Brooklyn onthe first Tuesday of October next, at 2 o'clock. Exection For Orricers.—At an election for militia oflicers, held at Sweeney’s tavern in York street, on Fri- day evening last, Andrew D. F. Tombs, Esq., was unani- mously chosen captain of a ‘crack re) ad in the 64th regiment of New York State Infantry. If any popularity could, by even the most remote possib ity, be attached tothe militia service, then would the election of Mr. ‘Tombs have been exceedingly popular ; but, under ex- ing circumstances, it is very doubtful whether he will accept of the somewhat equivocal distinction which has been offered to him. Sourn Brooxtyy.—A part of South Brooklyn adjoin- ing Buttermilk Channel, which was formerly Cornell's | Mall Pond, is now so far filled up, that Columbia street is | graded from Atlantic street to Hamilton avenue, leading to Atlantic dock. On Columbia streot, at the foot of Union street, some eight or ten buildings are now in course of erection on the spot, where there was the wa- ter of the mill pond one year ago. Forty brick buildings are under Contract, to be erected at this spot, with all convenient despatch. ‘Tancet Excursion.—Fire company number Eleven of Brooklyn, appearing in military uniform as Jackson Guards, Went on a target excursion yesterday, under the command of Mr. Wm.

The demand for prime bills for remittance has been much larger than the actual purchases, as only those compelled to remit, will submit to the current pre- mium. The average rates of premium for sterling ex- change in this market has this year ranged nearly one Percent higher than foreither of the previous six.

In 1839 and 1841 our imports exceeded our exports and the rate of sterling exchange ruled low, while in 1840 °42, 43, and ’44, the value of our exports exceeded the imports, giving what is called a balance of trade in our favor, notwithstanding which, exchange for the last two years ranged higher than in 1839 and ’41. Our foreign exchanges are not entirely regulated by our foreign trade in merchandise. Quotations for sterling exchange particularly, are regulated by other causes.

The advance has also in a measure been caused by the speculative move- ment made in the fancy stocks and the improvement in | prices for these securities. The dividend pay” | ing state stocks, usually advance in price as the interest on them accumulates. The abundance of capital seeking investment is another cause of the rise in quotations for these stocks, as such stocks as U. 8. 6’s, New York 6’s and 7’s, Ohio 6’s, Kentucky 6's, and New York stocks are among the best invest- ments in the market. The holders of Pennsylvania State stock in Great Bri- tain complain very much of the conduct of the Legisla- ture of that State in paying only four and a half per cent interest to those who convert their dividend certificates into stock. ‘The Legislature of Pennsylvania has mage every effort to restore the finances of the State to a sound condition, and to raise revenue sufficient to meet the cur” rent expenditures and the interest on the public debt, fot which the members deserve great credit, under all the circumstances; but the reservation of one hslf of one per cent in the conversion of dividend certificates into stock, and the reservation of one quarter per cent from the annual interest paid on itsown debt, may justly be characterized, as being altogether unworthy ef such a State as Pennsylvania. By the laws of Pennsylvania, there is a tax of one quarter per cent on the income from all stock investments in the State,and this law is enforced upon its own debt. The State agrees to pay an interes on its stock of five per cent per annum, but the stock holders only receive four and three quarters per cent, or two and three-eighth per cent semi-annually. It is not surprising that stockholders complain of these trifling exactions, when they bear upon their face an intention to reduce the dividends due the stockholders in every possible way. {tis possible the Legislature of Pennsyl- vania may, when its revenues become more ample, be more liberal in its financial operations, as public as well as private bodies very often commit acts in their poverty that they would repudiate nnder other circumstance: The financial condition of Pennsylvania is rapidly im- proving, and we trust the numerous causes of complaint will be removed as the State becomes able to be more just to its creditors. ‘The emount of tolls received on the Pennsylvania ca- nals and railroads up to the first of September this year, ‘was $907,192, being an increase of $4,750 over the cor- responding period of last year, and $136,680 over that of 1843, The amount of tolls received on the Delaware division of the Pennsylvania Canal for this season to Sep- tember Ist, was $85,996 against $67,893 to a correspond- ing date last year, showing an increase of $18,103, or nearly twenty per cent, The financial condition of Maryland is rapidly improv’ ing, and we have not the slightest doubt but that the le- gislature will, at its next session, agree upon some day on which to resume payment. Collectors of State taxes have been procured in all the counties, and so far they have been very successful in their collections. Pay- ments in the first three quarters of the year, on account of the interest on the public debt, have exceeded the in- terest which accrued in those quarters,and it is anticipa- ted that the collections for the last quarter will be at- tended with corresponding results. The efforts of the present executive of the State, to redeem its credit, have been untiring, and during his administration we expect to see Maryland take rank with Pennsylv@Mia as a sol vent State. ‘There is very little change to note in the progres® made by the other delinquent States of the Union to. wards a redemption of their credit, and very little can be said in relation to their financial condition, until the latures. The prosperity of every class of citizer section of the country, is so great, and there has been‘such a rapid increase in the re- sources of the States generally, that we feel very confi- dent that something more will be done this year towards xtricating some of the States from their financial diffi- culties, than in any previous single jon. We cannot look for an immediate resumption by Indiana, Illinois, or Arkansas, but we expect to more favorable report of their finances than has yet been giver! and some statements from their legislatures, giving more encou” ragemont to their bondholders than have yet been given, Old Stock Exchange. $500 Ohio 6" 97% 225 Canton Co 42 m Ohio 6, 1960 9% 985 Canton 2 1000 Indiana Stg, 25 ys 304_ 100 do 60. ns 2000 Indiana Sterling 39% 100 do 2 11000 1. diana Bonds % 200 Reading RR 90 50, 2000 Illinois Special = «37, do 18000 Penn’a 5’s a md lo 4 5000 do 764 400 do 390 4 5000 do bis 76% 25 Erie RR x i s15 76) 200 Nor & Wor RR 20 shs Bank State NY 92 2 = do n 5US Bank. ‘ o* 7” ¢ i Tras 122 Farmers Teast, Bx do on 275 Morris Canal %3_ 100 = do u % ~~ do 21% 100 = do s6ms 71 @ ~~ do b30 25." 100 do 90 7434 % © do u% 50 do b30 74 es 0 lone, lend RR mA 100 lo 1# Harlem RR i2ms 70 nd Board. 100 shs Canton Co 435g 100 Nor& WorRR 830 74! 25 a 4 % do 14 0. 3 Eri M50 di i) FA a: e . 3 % do TN bo 50 do 30 74 ay 30 © do bio 74 me 4 3 Witeington RR ah 25g 100 Wilmin wnat 00 E100 Reading Rt 3° Stock Exel bid Mahe Meee Canal 136 . : gh 0 0 wr Perri 0 Nor & Wor RR 7 0 hay 2 © do 3 50 Harlem RR styr 628 75 do 5 do styr % Pe % do cash 630 ed % do ts ae 8 do ba 73% 0 de cash
