The usual morning services were read; after which the house organized, and proceeded to business. but he would withdraw it in case of debate. It was in reference to the admission of persons to the galleries— that the Sooreaepens admit all orderly persons, until the gelleries were full. Resolution withdrawn, and sgain offered by another delegate. Mr. Fonnes said he was opposed to the distribution of tickets; but as the system has been adopted, he thinks it would be unfair to exclude those who have tickets. ‘The whole subject was laid on tho table. ‘The committee on canons, to whom was referred the propriety of changing the periods of meeting of the several dioceses to consider the propriety of substi- tuting the fourth Monday of September, in place of the first Monday of October. Rev. Dr. Hawks moved an amendment,that the fourth Monday of August be substituted. Rev. Mr. Hancke.., chairman of the committee, said that his committee discussed the propriety of having Pe ee substituted; but they.thought it would be more satisfactory to the members ee ly to aay September, Mr, Mesativaen moved an indefinite suspension of the whole subject. Rey. Mr. Griswoup said, he could speak for the dio- ecses in the West: that if the conventions be held in October, the West and Southwest will: virtually be ex- cluded from attending, In tho cage of Missouri we would have had a lay delegation this session if the oon- vention had held the session earlior; as it is, the dele- gates that have come will huve but a narrow chance of getting home, if thé session should last two or three weeks more. He hoped gentlemen would take this sub- ject into consideration. Mr. Memaunoen moved as a substitute, thatthe whele yale he referred to the committee on the state of the ehurch. Rev. Dr. Hawxs seconded this, and would take the liberty of saying that this subject occupied the atte: tion of the house at a previous session, and the representation from the Seuth was it is now, the time was not changed. At that time it did not affect them as much as it does now, and if he understands the gentleman from South Carolina, it must be borne in mind that a large portion of the church is a8 deeply interested in the matter as the gentleman South Carolina is. This, he would submit, is the season of the year when all portions ofthe people of the uth are engaged in planting—most of them being cot- ton or sugar plenters—and it is, therefore, the worst time of the year in which they could leave home. The question is really not @ trifling one, and he believed it would be found that in the West and South,with the ex- ception of South Curolina, it would be more ag meet in August. He concluded by saying it was in his opinion best to refer the matter to the Committee on the State of the Church, which is composed of gentle- men from all parts of the country, and who would pro- bably by compromise agree on o time that would be more agreeable to the Suuth and West than the time new fixed, z Rey. Mr. Griswoup said that the delegates frum the Fastern States can reach the convention very rapidly, by reason of their numerous railroads and other means of conveyance, which in the South and West we have not. It frequently happens that the Ohio and other rivere leading to the West are closed as early xa the firat of November—consequently, if the convention essem- bled in October, and should hold a session of three weeks, we should be put to great inconvenience in reach- ing home, which cannot be the case with delegates who live in the Eastern dioceses. Rey Mr. Hanckent, of 8. C., had no possible objection toa reference tothe Committee on the State of the Church, so far as he was concerned; he presumed it was #o with the other members. Mr. Mrematincen sgid his whole object in moving an in- definite posponement, was to obtain the sense of the house as to the question whether they wished any change at allin the time of meeting. Dr. Meap concurred in the view of taking this asa test question for the purpose of ascertaining whether the house wished toentertain the objection at all. ‘The question was then put and carried. Rev. Mr. Newton, of Massachusetts, in pursuance of the motion which he gav s*erday, then offered # re- solution that the house adjourn to-day at 11 o'clock, tor the purpose of giving time for the committees to mature their business. A delegate proposed that the hour be fixed at 12 that they should not advance backwards. adopted. Rey. Dr. Cnosweut, in behalf of the standing commit. stating that the testimonials first laid down before them in relation to the election of the Rev. James 6. Breton ag assistant bishop of the diocese of Illinois, did not, in their opinion, furnish sufficient grounds for reporting the house. ‘The canon provided that when a bishop.of any diocese waa unable by reason of old age or other per- manent cause of infirmity, to discharge his episcopal ducies, one assistant bishop might be elected. It didnot appear that there was any evidence that the present bishop of the diocese of lilinois was unable, either from old age or trom other infirmities, to dissharge bis duties ‘The communication which had been laid before the his nd bodily infirmities ;” not heaton that he was disabled by “old age.”” ‘The committee had subsequent- ly received a document from m-~mbers of the diocese, tended to supply the defect in the first testimonial, stating that the disability contemplated by the canon did exist in the case of Bishop Chase, of Illinois, and that an assistant bishop was necessary. ‘he committee would submit these facts, leaving the house to decide whether the case of Rey. \'r. Breton should bein order for reoeiving the usual certificate. The committee submit- bat in connection with the report, the following resolu- tion. Resolved, That the report of the Committee on the Consecration of Bishops, in the case of Rev. James B.Bre- ton, Bishop elect, of Illinois, be laid on the table to be called up at the pleasure of the house, and that the com- mittee be discharged from any further consideration of the case. Mr. Ketty begged leave to offer the following as an amendment to the resolution: — Resolved, That the house do now proceed to sign the canonical testimonial ,in favor of the Rev. James B. Breton, Bishop elect of the diocese of illinois, and that when signed by the house, they be eent with the docu- ments annexed, to the House of Bishops. Some conversation ensued as to whether the subject was debateable. The Cuarn decided that the subject was debateable. Mr. WitttaMs called for a definition pf the statement made by the diocesy of Illinois, “that the bishop was unable, in consequence of age and bodily infirmities, to discharge the duties of his office.” He could see no difference between such a statement and the canonical phrase,“ old age.” Mr. Youx appealed from the decision of the chair, as given above. - Mr. dbeysoun thought the resolution submitted by the committee amounted to a simple motion to Jay on the table ; and he thought the chair, on reflection, would reverse his decision, and thus avoid the unpleasantness of an appeal. Mr. Mematixorn apprehended that there was no doubt that the chair was right in its decision. ‘The committee had acted upon the ufdmorials presented to tnem, and decided that they were insufficient. They submitted a resolution to t! id arked to be discharge: The resolution bject tofull debate. Th of the chair, he submitted, was perfectly conform: the rules of parliamentary order Mr. NGEN moved to lay the subject on the , ‘ble. Mr. Memanrxoxn said if the object of the gentleman was to lay the subject on the table, with the view of taking it up again in the course of half an hour or £0, he had no objection to it. Leen 9 npr against any attempt to strangle the business ir. Van Inaew desired to explain the matter kindi; and candidly. The house had voted to adjourn im a few moments. ‘hey must do something before they ad- Journed. “He proposed, therefore, simply to lay the sub- Joct on the table till they had time to attund to it, ‘The motion was then put and agreed to. Mr. Wiarton called up the subject relati of membership to the convention, and mo the second section of the “order,” on page 263 of the | of 1844, by adding thereto the words “ provided, theless, that the secretary shall mot insert on the id list the name of any person who shall not appear by a certificate, duly si to have been chosen by the convention of a divcese jin lieu of some other deputy.” Mr. Wharton remarked that the adoption of this amend- ment would take trom the Lemme / & very large discre- tion, and would afford » desirable limit to his action. He thought there could be no reasonable objection to the alteration, Rey, Dr, Hawxs moved a reference of the proposition to a special committee on the rules of order. The Crain suggested that it be referred to the same committee whieh lately, served on the same subject;,to which, Dr. Hawxs asgonting, Junge Crammens begged leave to call the attention of fore the house. tothe right to amend the convention, before the subject was disposed of, to | the fact that the proposition of the gentieman precisely reversed the sense of that body, as expressed in a recent | vote, carried by a decided majority, He had understood the decision of the house to be, that the constitution when rightly interpreted, fully entitled memoers to a seat, who presented claims therein any manner, provided they were elected by the authority of a diocesan convention. Now the gentleman proposed to reverse that decision, and contended that the proposition he submitted was more in conformity with the meaning of the constitution. — The convention belivved they had interpreted it ac- | cording to its literal meaning. He bad no objection to | referring the subject; but he did not see the propriety of retorrin; jubject upon which the house had just expressed an opinion, He would not venture to aay | that there was any probability that any individual | would present Limaeif there, falsely claiming @ sect in | that body—that he wouid the assurance there to | claim a which his constituents wore not desirous that he should occupy. He was yet to learn the first instance of such s nature. He, therefore, believed it be- coming the house to consider how far the proposed step ed ® direct reversion of the actioa they bad already en, Mr. Wanton said he did not mean to take up the time or the house, neither did he suppose that there was ‘any construction of the constitution on this subject set- “ by the house. dae ‘ov.

It declared the contrary, in his opinioa—that according to the former practice of the house, the gentlemen were entitled to their seats, but it may be different from the constitution. He doosnot understand that the house committed itself as to the true construction of the constitution, but presumed when the opportunity ig offered, that it will say that this is not the true construction of the constitution. | think, he said, until some question is taken on the meaning— the clear import of the constitution—that the same question will beup every session. It has been discussed on former occasions, and a great part of the present ses- sion, nearly two days has been taken in interesting but unprofitable discussion of it. It is to settle the question for all future time, that he offered his amendment, in order that when the next convention comes together, there will be a precise understanding on the true meaning of the constitution in this matter—that there shall be no difference of opinion as to the legality of the certificates with which gentlemen may present themselves here as members of the convention. The whole subject presents in @ strong light, that a practice once adopted is sure to pro- vail. 1¢ was wrong in this house to have even depart- ed from the strict letter of the constitution, but hay- ing done so, it was responsible for the damage it has ov- casioncd. Now we see there exists a diverett ity of inter- pretation, and if we do not come to some general inter- pretation of the constitution, the practice will go on in- creasing until we cannot tell what form of credentials is necessary. He would therefore move that his resolution be adopted, in order to prevent trouble hereafter. It does not enable the standing committee or the bisho; of the diocese to elect, but it has this advantage, that it gives meaning to the constitution. Mr. Wit.tiams rose, not to debate the question, but he understood that one of the delegates from North Caro- lina, who was not present at the commencement of the seasion, but who was subsequently seeolnied by the bishop, took his seat in preference to a delegate who was elected by the diosese. He would be glad to hear whe- ther he was misinformed. The probability of suc! case Occurring, showa the necessity of the convention taking some action on the matter, A Memuer from C, asked him if he bad apy official information on the subject? Another Memuxn would ask the gentleman whether N. C, was not legally represented here, and submitted whether it was not wrong to talk in this manner, tMr Wu.sass thinks ho hase right to form such an inference, and would suppose that a delegate coming here from his ¢onvention, and presenting his certificate, has ® precedence over @ delegato nominated by his bishop. He would ask, has the bishop the power, by his nomination, to oust such a» delegate, and appoint one who may be the creature of his will? A member from North Carolina would like to know if committee by the diocese merely stated that the | the gentleman is inorder, and would like to know what bishop was unable to perform his duties, “by reason of | business he has concerning the delegates from North He called him to order. 7LL14Ms guid he had « right to suppose a case. Memunr from N. C.—Has he soy right to say that there are creatures here ? Mr. Wiitiams said he had a right to suppose s case. Let us suppose a case, then, trom Virginia, and let us toit. Is it not shown that there is ction in the matter? Permit me to Carolini necessity for som say that [ hope tho gentleman will not understand me as saying any thing against the delegates from North aro! or their bishop. I only wish to point out what might be the result in such s case. The time may come—it has oome, when there will be necessity for some legislation of this kind. It has come and {t may come again. It becomes us to see that tae power of this house ix not taken trom it. Mr. Coutins, of North Carolina, rose to speak, but ‘was called to order, in reply to the President; he said that he would speak to the inction before the house in the same way as the gentleman who preceded him had. He only wishes the gentleman to understand that as far as he knows, the delegates from North Caro- lina are legally elected, and he knows of no collision existing between them; and before any legislatian could be taken on such a course as is recommended to be pur- sued, the matter ought to be referred to a committee to report the facts. The gentleman has referred to @ case which does not exist. He has heard of no conflicting certificates, and no collision among the delegates from his State. If the Bishop o. North Carolina has done asthe gentleman etates he has, he has done 6o in ac- cordance with power granted to him; and if any colli- sion arose from it, it would be between him and the party who gave him the power. The question was un- necessarily brought up, and should not be brought up, until w seat was con of no . He has heard such contest.

Movements in Politics. J. W. Gordon has succeeded in getting the whig nom- dred and seventy or eighty, alltold. The number of American officers killed is said to be 27, and the number wounded4s, The only individual mentioned a:cong the killed is Capt. Albemarle Cady, of the 6th Infantry, an socormplished officer, a graduate of West Point, and na- tive ew Hampshire. It is somewhat singular that 80 little should have transpired in regard to our loss, but with all diligence we have been unable tolearn anything more. The Mexican loss is set down in round numbers at 3000 killed and wounded. Wedo not attach much credit to this estimate. The accounts from Tampico confirm the death of Gen. Bravo, killed fighting brave- ly, but our Vera Cruz correspondent discredits the re- port that Santa Anna was wounded, though it is reite- rated by the Patria’s advices, which say that he also lost his horse in the retreat by the route of Tulancingo. From the ciroular which is given in another column to the commandants of the differents States of Mexico, annonncing the abandonment of the capital by Santa ‘Anna, we are persuaded that the fighting for its posses- sion ended on the 13th of September. From the moment that Santa Anna fell back upon Guadalupe, the position of Gen. Scott became assured, so far as the Mexican army was concerned. The same oconsideratious which influenced Santa Anna not to prolong the defence of the city, would restrain him from molesting Gen. Scott in ite quiet eccupation. But if we are thus relieved from all apprehension in regard to Gen, Soott’s army from this source—and we have not thought the alarm felt for him in gome quarters well founded—we have to deplore the calamities which have overtaken the city of Mexico from another source, and which are much more formida- ble than could have resulted from our occupation; nor do they fail to excite alarm lest our army has suffered from the same cause. According to the Arco Iris of Vera Cruz of the 26th ult., received here by La Patria, letters from Julapa and Orizaba announce that mm ly after Santa Anna abandoned the capital, and as soon as the populace felt themselves relieved from the restraint of his bayonets, the leporos commenced the work of Biking Oe city, plundering the houses of citizens as well as foreigners, ‘and committing all species of excosses. During this pillag, ing these accounts say that # division of the American army entered the city to restore order—verbal accounts sey that their ald had been solicited by the magis- trates. A conflict ensued between these troops and the rabble, in which some accounts say that the whole di- vision was cut off, while others say that oue portton was the gates and the citadel, and yet another took refuge in the convent of San Francisco, abandon- ‘The accounts yn to say that Gener compelled to bard the city from the citadel and other commanding points to reduce it to subjection. Such are the rumors we derive from the Arco Iris and La Patria, From ‘Tampico we have another version of the same story.— ‘The following we translate from a letter with which we have been courteously favored by a Spanish house :— Tampico, September 25, We have news from Mexico which announces the taking of Chapultepec by Gen. Scott, who the same day attacked the capital by the garitas of San Cosme and Nino Perdido. He succeeded in routing the forces of Santa Anna, who full back upot Guadaloupe. Then General Scott took possession of the citadel, and imme- diately sent 1500 men, with four pieces of artillery, to the plaza of the Palace. They immediately occupied the Palace, blowing down the doors with their artillery, but the hurrabs with which they planted their national flag caused an insurrection among bred denon and in their fary they in a moment despatched the 1500 Americans. When Sante Anna was made acquainted with this oc- currence, he immediately returned with 10,000 men and twenty-five pieces of artillery, and the news we have this morning announces the firing of guns, and we be- lieve that every thing was in confusion in the capital. We could add other versions of the above news which we have received in abundance from different sources, but from the various contradictions between the different stories, and some comparison ot facts, our impression is very decided that the rumors are grossly exaggerated, and they all grow out of the excesses of the (éperos, whom, very possibly, Gen. Scott found much difficulty in reduc: ing to order. This class of vagabonds, corresponding very nearly to the lazzaroni of Naples, is extremely numer- ous in Mexico. Ward estimated the number in the city as high as 20,000 in 1823, and their number is probably much larger now. \These recent excesses commit- ted by them are by no means unexpected; the true char- acter of the wretches and the necessity ef keeping them continually under military restraint have long been known, Intelligent foreigners living in Mexico and men of property there have long feared this identical calamity. As at present informed, we are willing to believe that the destruction of property by them has been very groat— possibly the Mexicans estimate of two or three millions lost may not be exaggerated; but we pared to believe that Gen, Scott has in as is pretended, nor upon the evidence thus fa do we think that he Fee, bombarded the capital after Santa Anna wpandoned it. He would avoid such @ measure if he could possibly do so, The next feature of importance in the news, is the ru- mored resignation of Santa Apna, It is mentioned in the letter of our Vera Cruz correspondent in another column. This is confi d by La Patria, which says the instrument of res: on is dated from Guadaloupe, the 16th of September. Senor Penay Pena,on whom, with two associates, supreme power is devolved till Con- gress makes an election, is I’reaident of the Supreme Court of Justice. There is particular mention made of Santa Anna’s proclamation, and we have heard it was in town, but have wot been able to fin There is nothing improbable in Santa Anna's resignation of his civil authority. He is proverbially fond of this coup @état, nor is there at present anything attractive in the exercise of civil authority iu Mexico, But La Patria’s letters eay that General Herrera is now in com- mand of the army, and will proceed with 14,000 men, to station himself at Queretaro, where it is intended that the Mexican Congress sbell reassemble. — Among other rumors, it is said that Santa Anna has moved towards Puebla with 2000 horse, and that Pa- redes is raising troops with some succers iu the great State of Jalisco, We have little faith in these details. One of La Patria’s rumors is that Gen. Rea had en- tered Puebla with 600 men, and that the Americau com- mandant has been compe!led to bombard the town from the heights by which he commands it. We shall not yield credence to this rumor till we have it confirmed, A few words now in regard to the guerillas, and we have done.
