NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, October 21, 194741 he Protestant Episcopal Convention. Our readers will find in this day’s paper, a report of the proceedings of the House of Depu§ ties. It will be seen that the subject under discus- sion has been a new canon, empowering the House of Bishops to revise their proceedings, and revoke sentence when it shall have been manifested to them that they acted erroneously. It wasto apply to all cases, but had a special re- ference to Bishop Onderdonk, of the diocese of New York. If it became a law, that gentleman could apply for a revision of the proceedings. he verdiet on such application wouldy be final, and would relieve the diocese New York from the anomalous position she has been in for three years past. The subject, however, was laid on the table by a large majority vote, and a resolution introduc- ed, saying virtually, that it is inexpedient to re- store him. Thus matters have assumed an en- tirely new direction, and what the end will be No one can tell ‘The European News, and its Effect. Thefnews received by the steamship Cambria, from Europe, has had no particular effect upon our markets, or upon commercial affairs gene- rally. The financial difficulties under which all classes engaged in trade in England, are now la- boring, seems to be confined, as yet, principally to that country, and our merchants and financiers apprehend very little from them. The Bank of |. England appeared to be doing every thing in its power to make the pressure as light as possible; bnt the evils had become so deep rooted, that no remedy within its power had been sufficient to arrest the downfall of many extensive houses. We learn that just previous to the departure of the Cambria, the Governor of the Bank of Eng- land had solicited an interview with Lord John Russell, and it was the general impression that the object of the interview was to suggest the adoption of measures calculated to alleviate the financial distress prevailing to such an extent throughout the United Kingdom. Arrairs oy tHe River Puata.—In the inte- resting mass of intelligence furnished to us by our despatches by the Cambria, we have received information, which we believe may be relied up- on, by which we learn that the British govern- ment contemplates making another attempt to arrange the affairs of the River Plate. With a view to this object,we learn that despatches from Lord Palmerston to {Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, at Montevideo, were, at our last ad- vices, to be conveyed by Her Majesty’s steam sloop Fury, which was waiting at Plymouth to receive them on board. EAThis movement of the British government, it will be seen, is in perfect harmony and keeping with its ulterior objects and views towards Bra- zil, such as we ventured a few days ago to de- velope. We then noticed tne probable inten- tions of the British Cabinet, in despatching Lord Howden from the River Plate to the Court of Brazil at Rio Janeiro. We advert- ed to the imposing attitude_in which the British Ambassador would appear atthe court of Brazil, and demand in the course of time the renewal of a commercial treaty between the two coun- tries. We also pointed out; how Brazil would, perhaps, be influenced 1n some degree in cons quence of her provinces adjoining the River Plate. This view, which we then developed, is rather confirmed than otherwise by the addi- tional items in regard to British movements on the river Plate. We see clearly that England cannot refrain from operating in both quarters, and that here she has now as always, a watchful eye upon her interests, wherever they may be concerned, or however they may be promoted. This country cannot be too careful, nor too cautious in prudential foresight, where she has so keen arival in commercial matters to com- pete with. Sreamsmip Wasuineton.—The Washington will leave Southampton on the 24th October, and not on the 19th, as advertised. This day of sailing has been adopted for the purpose of affording greater facilities for corres- pondence. It will of course delay her departure from here until after the middle of November. We have before alluded to this matter, and willtake the opportunity of repeating what we then said, that by fixing the departure of their steamships on intermediate days between the sailing of the Cunard steamers, the public would be better served, and the interests of the compa- ny promoted. ¥ The work on the Hermann, the mate tothe Washington, is progressing rapidly. GungraL Fiorgs.—General Flores, President of the republic of Equador, with his aid-de- camp and secretary, Colonel Wright, left this city yesterday afternoon, in the steamer Guadal- quiver, for-Havana. These gentlemen intend to go to Venezuela, where a strong party of the friends of General Flores is waiting for his return. No doubt he will obtain, one of these days, the end which he aims at—the liberty of his country and the spread of civilization among his countrymen, together with the abolition of all the abuses and supersti- tion which would ruin the republic of Equador if they were long continued. Those who are acquainted with (eneral Flores, speak of him as a man of great talent and energy. Sreamsuirs Brirannia anp Hipgrnia.—The at Boston, passed on the 11th inst., when in lat. 50, lon. 28, the steamship Bri- tania, Harrison, for Liverpool. She also, spoke the Hibernia thirty miles from Halifax, bound in. Ony Intelligence. Tux Wasnixcron Monument Pocession.—In our ao- count of this grand affair, we mentiened the name of ‘W. H. Hoyt in connexion with the splendid Car, of whieh we gavea out. The credit of the design and de- oorations belongs to John C. Taylor, of No. 68 Prince street. The beautiful model of the steamboat North America, belonged to the association of ship joiners. It is an elegant little affair, 10 fest long and perfect in every part, engine and all. Among the numerous companies present, the Hook and Ladder Company No. 10, of York- ville, looked particularly well. It was decerated in the most beautiful manner, and the flowers upon it arranged in remarkabl; ood taste. This Fire Company well deserved the favorable encomiums they received, and did Justice to the day and the great occasion. Boano or Epvcation.—The Board held » stated mooting. yesterday evening. Some applications for mo- m from Trustees of Ward Schools, were presented and ferred, after which, and the transactions of some other routine business of no importance, the meeting ad- djourned.

It reached New Orleans on the 138th inst., and was brought by the special over-land express for the New York Herald and other papers. Owing to its importance, however, our special messen- ger was instructed to bring the the intelli- gence to the government at Washington, and it will, therefore, at once have general circulation throughout the country. This we thought due to the public. ‘The news is of the greatest interest and im- portance. It gives to the public a clear and authentic view of the position of affairs at the seat of war, and relieves the anxiety of thou- sands. It also, we are pained to state, throwsa gloom over many a family circle. But we hasten to lay our despatches before our readers :— Telegraphic Despatch, No. 1, Ricumonn, Oot. 20, 1847. The steamer Fashion, Capt. Ingram, arrived at New Orleans from Vera Crus, via Tampico, on the 13th. bringing dates from Vera Crus to the 7th, and Mr. Ken- dall’s letters from the capital down to the 28th of Sep- tember. ‘The news 1s ylurivus fur tho Amerlven exuy, at the same time our losses are severe and the details of the killed and wounded heart sickening. Thank God, says the New Orleans Picayune, none of our generals have been killed, but Major General Pillow and Brigadier General Shields were both wounded severely, but were doing well at the last sccounts. The Picayune says, we are not about to repeat the worst part; it will be found in Mr. Kendall's letters; but we may mention, however, that Colonels Molntosh and Ransom, Lieut. Col Martin Scott, Lieut Col. Graham, of the infantry, Lieut. Col. Baxter, of the New York Regiment, and Lieut. Col. Dickinson, of the South Ca- rolina Regiment, are dead. For the rest of the deplo- rable list of the killed and wounded, we refer to Mr. Kendall’s letters. In the battle at King’s Mills, the loss was seven hun- dred. On the 8th, Gen. Worth’s division lost about six hun- dred men in killed amd wounded. In the battle of the 6th, the storming of Chepultepec and the attack on the citadel, Gen. Quitman’s division lost three hundred; Gen: Twiggs two hundred and sixty-eight; Gen. Pillow one hundred and forty-two, and Gen. Worth one hundred and thirty-eight; making in all, eight hundred and forty-eight. Gen, Worth had scarcely one thousand men in this action. Our entire loss since leaving Puebla, in killed,wounded and missing, Kendall sets down at full three thousand Another authority given below, makes it four thousand ; and yet Gen. Scott entered the valley of Mexico with an army of only a little exceeding ten thousand men. The Mexican accounts representing that we were at any time seriously repulsed, are not true. The Mexican lone is nor definitely ascertained, but it ‘was enormous. Gen. Bravo was not killed, but taken prisoner. We don’t see that Santa Anna was wounded.‘{/t is true that he has resigned the Presidency. Since his resignation, he has made an address to his countrymen. Gen. Scott has issued orders to his army, congratulat- ing them on the glorious victories they have achieved, and calling on them to return thanks to God therefor, He urges upon them the necessity of military discipline, with order and sobriety, to protect them from surprise, Santa Anna has returned to Toluca, fifteen miles from Guadaloupe, with the remnants of his army, intending, it is thought, to attack our trains. Many more deserters have been hung, but the reader will be grieved to hear that Riley, the commander of the Foreign Legion, escaped that punishment on some ground, and was only flogged. All will be glad to hear that the American prisoners, Ceptain Cassus M. Clay and others, have joined Gen: Telegraphic Despatch, No.1. Baxtimony, Oct, 20—Evening. The following is a copy of « letter wyitten by a fo- reigner to one of his countrymen in Vera Cruz—a Frenchman:— Mexico, Sept. 28, 1847, My Dear Sin— I avail myself of the departure of the British couri to sketch you the scenes it has been my luck to witne: in the capital and its environs, the Mexicans having been beaten in ali points and in every way, from the éth to the 13th inst. Gen Santa Anna left the capital on the evening of the 13th, and took the road to the interior. On the 14th, in the morning, the Americans entered the city ina very quiet manner, and Gen. Scott was already in the Palace, when, on a sudden, the people of the low classes com- mene d throwing stones on thé Americans from the teps of houses, and from all the streets, whilst in- dividuals of a better standing, fired from the windo' and balconies on the.Yankees,;who were far from e: pecting such treatment. General Scott ordered immediately pieces of artille to be placed in all directions, and soen swept the stree! with grape shot; but this provea insufficient to subdue the insurrection. General Scott then sent a few compa- nies on divers yet with orders to break open évery house out of which the Mexicans should fire; to put to the sword those found within; and lastly, to sack the Property therein contained. is order was executed with great moderation thanks to the secret instructions of General Ssott; but in some cases, with stern energy, whick soon put down the insurrection. ‘These scenes lasted three long and sad days-—from the 14th to the 16th--and, I assure you, we were much alarm- ed during the whole time. 2 All foreigners, including those imbued in other re- aspects with prejudice towards the Americans, agree in one Neca cae the American army had not done the hundredth pert of the injury it had aright to do, and which European armies have done in similar clroug. stances.

This is really too little, Ameri- cans have covered themselves with in all the bat- heroes; but it is a great thing to see a handful of three hi troops are the remnanto. the 20,000 regular troops who defended the city no long er than two weeks ago. Some people hope that peacc will be advocated by several members of the next Co- Loe at Querelaro, but for my part, [ do not believe it. ‘The folly of these people is not yet Stanend. When w.ll they opentheir eyes to their tueinterest? Never. I’his is my fear. communi- eation with the interior is cut off. The report that Gen Rea was at Puebla is fully con- irmed. and the “ Genius of Liberty” of the 27th ult, jar troops under Col. Childs. were bombarding ity from the surrounding heights.” ‘The same of the 2d instant, has the following:—Gen. Santa ‘the Paper Anna never s0 badly discomfited, was, by the very latest Puebla.

Conscious the strength of their position and its impregnability, they were awaiting the arrival of reinforoements in the utmost security and tranquilli- ty.

Mostof the American de- serters have been hung, but Riley was only flogged. Cassius M. Clay and others, joined Scott in taking the Capital. Gen>Socott issued the following order from the National Palace: GENERAL ORDER. “ The General-in-Chief calls upon his brothers inarms to return thanks both in publis and private worship, thanks and gratitude to God for the glorious and signal triumph which they have recently achieved for their country; beginning with the 19th of August and ending on the 14th September “This army has gallantly fought its way thi h the fields and Fort of Contreras, San Antonio, Churubusco, Moleno del Rey, Chepuitepeo, and the gates of San Gas- teajand Tacubsys to the capital;of Mexico.

The Union says that Colonel Molntosh died of his wounds. ‘The total loss, according to the Delta, is upwards of 1600 in killed and wounded. General Herrera has been appointed to the command of the army, Sante Anna has been denounced as a traitor. Brooklyn Surcipx.—Coroner Abrahams was called yesterday, to hold an inquest at the house of Mrs. Sophia R. Ellis, on the body of Wiiliam Edwards, aged 37 years, who was found dead in hisroom. From the evidence adduced before the coroner, it appeared that the deceased had been severely afflicted with a pulmonary affection since July last, and in consequence of his not being able to at- tend ney to his duties as agent of Mr Burt, brew- er of New York, he had been discharged from the em- ploy of the latter; that the decewsed had also cently bad some difficulty with his wife, and parated from her a few weeks ago. although the previous to committing the ra act, he passed several hours im her company, and promised to spend the following afternoon with was not discovered until the wife of tl 0 to inquire for him, when he was found dead in his room, with an empty pbial, in which he had purchased an ounce of solution of morphine, by his side.

Justice Drinker locked him up for trial Army Intelligence, Lieut. Wright has returned to Milwaukie, W. T., and isagain on reoruiting service. The following is extracted from a letter received at Washington from a distinguished officer of the army, dated Camp U. 8. A, near Monterey, 12th Supt., 1847 “ The city of Monterey is now under good government with Col Tibbatts and a port of the 16th regiment. * * “ Gen.

We have here Bragy’s artillery, three companies of 2d dragoons, six companies of tiv 16th infantry, and Baylor's coupeny of Texas mounted men. At Serralvo, 70 milos north on our line of com- munioations, are four companies of the 16th infantry. At Mier, a part of the 3d dragoons, under Col.

Pank Tueatas,—The new operatic troupe of Madame Anna Bishop, launches its bark on the wave of public opinion this evening, at the Park. We predict it will be ‘@ successful voyage. With such a crew the ship is safe. The opera is “Norma,” in Italian. From hearing the “Casta Diva” of Madame Bishop, at one of her concerts at the Tabernacle, we predict the fair Druidess will be, in the hands of this prima donna, a dramatic gom of the first water. Mr. Reeves, the new tenore, is, although young, an excellent ar: Miss Korsinsky, is the Adalgitha. We understand she has greatly improved since her appearance in the German opera, at Palmo’s Her voice is mezzo soprano, of considerable compass and sweetness, Sigr. Valtelliniis the Oroveso. His fine bass voice is sure to tell. The chorus and orchestra, undr the management of Chubb, «ill, we are sure, contribute their share tothe general success Bowery Tuxarre.—It is entirely immaterialto the manager of the Bowery theatre, what attractions are of- fered in other places of amusement; for as long as he contioues in his present course, he is sure of receiving as much patronage as he desires. Between the “ Bedouin Arabs,” whose extraordinary performances amaze all who witness them, and the new piece, the “Siege of Monterey,’’ this place receives more than its share of support. The Bedouin Arabs will exhibit their powers again, this evening; aud the comedy of Bamboozling” will be performed after “ Monterey.”’ CuatHam Turatae—We are oonfident that Mr Fletcher, of the Chatham, will have no reason to repent having taken so much pains to please his patrons as be has taken recently. He produces a new domestic drame, whioh will be presented this evening for the first time in America. It is entitled the “ Mill of Ryland, ora Poor Girl’s Story.” We undertand that it is intensely interesting. The petite comedy “ erfection,’ will also Le pista thie evening Mr. De Bar, and Mies H. Vallee are engaged at this theatre, and will soon appear. Cincvs—Bowgay AmrnitHeatay.—Mr. Tryon, from his great experience as a manager of a circus, has pro- bably as much tact in thy business as any man in the Union, and the way in which he disposes of all the talent he engages around him, is « proofof this. The new bur- esque which he has lately got up, and which will be performed to-night, is laughable in the extreme. It is founded on the adventures of that flower of knight er- rantry, Don Quixotte and his inimitable Squire Sancho, Their adventures with the wind-mill and the blanket tossing scrapes are given toa nicety, and the perfect specimens of Rosinante and Dapple which they ride on, would make one believe that they were itneat. descen- dants of those famed steeds. In adaition tojall this, the “ Sprite of the Silver shower”? will also be given, and various nes of horsemanship, comic and a Nhicpian singing, pantomime, kc. It is certainly a great bill. Erniorian Sexenavens.—Messrs. Pell & Ce. are what may truly be styled the élite of negro singers. Probably no band of performers have ever before played to such @ continual succession of crowded houses as these have Go where they will, they are the ever popular original Ethiopian Serenaders. The secret of it is their thorough acquaintance with music, and the delightful manner in which they give their songs, so as never to tire on the ear, no matter how often they are heard. To-night they present an excellent Dill; among the songs are “The Old Jawbone,” “ Bostman’s Dance.” the ever, popular “ Luoy Neal,” “Colored Fancy Ball,” &c. &. The con- cert commences at 8 o’clock, and arrangements are made to accommodate every visiter comfortably. We doubt not they will have house. Orrratic Irauian Comrany From Havana.—These talented singers, who have delighted the dellitang of the United States, by their admirable performances, left | yesterday afternoon in the steamer Gaudelquiver. Eve- ry body remembers the musical battles they have fought during their visit among us. They first appeared in New York at the Park Theatre,on the 16th of April and they have since then sung at Boston, Philadelphia’ Cape May, Saratoga, Newport, eto., giving altogether one hundred and eighteen operatic performances. We think it useless to inform our readers that all these eu- tertainments were triumphs. Tedesco, the talented can- tarice, will be long remembered in our city. We learn that Signor Lorini, one of the tenors of the company, left the company two days age, and remains in the city. We understand that Signor Vi'larino has left orders to sue him for damages. The company intends to return early next spring, and we hope then to hear the celebra- ed Rubini, who is aid to be engaged by Signor Marti. Mecuanics’ Hatt—Curyveti’s Minstrevs.—The im- mense crowds attending the concerts of this inimitabl company,-who are nightly overflowed with highly re- spectable audiences; and in compliance with numerous requests from the heads of families, have induced them to give afternoon concerts, commencing on Sat- urday next, which will afford ladies and children an op- —— of bape I this matchless company’s per- formance without the inconvenience of an over crowded hall. me for the afternoon’s entertainment WIL comprise a §r8Rt VETILLy, vvuiueUring ot 0 v'viveh, Mar, Demrsren’s Bactav Sornee.—We have already announced the intention of Mr. Dempster to give one of his delightful evenings at the Tabernacle to-morrow night. ‘The great appreciation which simple ballad sing- ing like his has met with among us iss guarantey that he will be encousged. Mr. Dempster, moreover, is no stranger among us, and he has many friends whom ha has secured by his quiet, gentlemanly and unostentatious manners in private. The programme he sets forth for to-morrow evening includes many songs which he hasin @ manner made his own, such as “John Anderson my Jo,’ “Lament ef the Irish Emigrant,” and Tennyson's ‘autiful poem (set to Mr. Dempster’s own music) of tha “May Queen.” Mr. Dempater, we are certain, will re- ceive « hearty welcome back to-morrow evening. Sianor Buits gives but three more of his entertain} ments, as his engagements elsewhere require his leaving us. We need only say that he is a devil of a fellow, and those who have not seen him and allow him to go with- out doing #0, are missing more fun than they dream of. Dr. Couryer’s Livina Mopers.—There is but one opinion among all those who have visited this graceful exbibition, and that is one of praise. There will be no less than fourteen different tableaux presented this even- ing, among which are some taken from the works of the best masters, modern and ancient. The descriptive mu- sic is not the least beautiful feature in the performance —in fact, the doctor has left nothing undone to perfect. his idea. ‘The Lehman family were to commence « series of en- tertainments at the theatre, Norfolk on Tues evea- ing last. Miss Julia Dean is at Buffalo. Herz and Sivori’s concert at Boston on Monday even- ing, was entirely successful. §) Invelligence. Sr. Lours, (Mo.)

Morning prayer was read by the Rev. Dr. Fordpof Ga, assisted in the lessons by the Rev. Mr. Moore, of New Hampshire. The minutes ot yesterday were read and approved, when the Rey. Dr, Croswell offered the following resolu- tion: — ¥ Resolved, the House of Bishops concurring, that this convention will adjourn sine die on Friday, at 12 0’clock. The Rev. Dr. Wrexs moved to lay it o 6 table for the present. It was too early to talk of that matter Zhe moon to lay on the table prevailing by a small majority, ‘he Rev. Dr. Brooxx, from the committee on the un- finished business, then submitted a report showing the business remaining on hand from the last convention, which was read by the secretary. The Committee on Elections reported the names of certain members who had asked leave of absence, in favor of the request of some, adverse to that of others — The report was accepted. - Rev. Dr. Hawxs then renewed the resolution which he offered remaeaas, in reference to the assistant bishop of llinola, it being alightly modified so as to read as fol- ‘Resolved, That the Seoretary be directed to prepare the canonical testimonial ri to be signed Vy this house in the case of a bishop elect ; and that the same be laid on the table, and house be called on by dio- ceses to sign the same ” After much debate the resolution was lost, by the fol- owing vote :— ‘Ayes—Of the uy the laity, 7. clergy, Noes—Of the clergy, 16; of the iatty, 10, Divided—Or th 5 of the laity, 6. <j " pated A message was received from the House of Bishops, stating that ay recede from their resolution, designating Philadelphia as the place of meeting for the next general convention, and will coneur with the House of Delegates in appointiong Cincinnati as that place * Mr. Van Incen rose to tion of such questions as house. He was opp: to bishop stood before them; with him they hadtodo. Let them lay the subject on the table, but never again let them indulge in such a he: nding debate as this had been, Let the question before them be put, and then, to settle the matter, he would beg of taem to vote upon this resolution, viz: Resolved, That it is inexpedient to sign these memorials. He would rather some one else would present such @ resolution; but for the purpose of terminating the debate, he would beg leave to present and press it. Mr. Harry J. Bovuey, of Kentucky, ci convention to over this resolution. friend of the bishop elect. He had lived under his own Dead in his own family; and to know him was to love im. rotest against the introduc- ad been brought before the y reference. ‘The elected Dr. Oarey, with some opposition by the house, rose to speak. He had before maintained that the diocese had discharged their full duty in the case, and that the whole responsibility of action rested upon this house. The question now before the house was one entirely dif- ferent from that which had been decided by their vote yesterday. It was, were the house ready to proceed to sign the tesiimonials in favor of the consecration of the bishop elect ot the diocese of Illinois? On this question, he had not committed himself, He regretted deeply that he had to repel the insinuations of the learned gentle- | man from petend: that his arguments were astute. He repeated he had not committed himself on the ques- tion now before them. He now felt bound to declare af- ter inquiry on the subject of parties prejudiced in favor of the bishop elect, that he had not sufficient | evidence of his qualification, in point of learning. He might be well qualified for parochial duties—he was un- doubtedly a pious man—but every man who was quali- fied to take charge of a parish, was not qualified to take charge of a diocese. Entertaining this view, he could not sign his name to the testimonials. Rey. Mr. GattacHer moved to lay the resolution on the table. r some conversation on the point of order, a mem- ber called for the vote by diecese. The Cu was about to put the vote, when the mo- tion was drawn. Mr. Hucer, of South Carolina, tnen rose and ad- dressed the house. The gentlemen were a-going to make him a judge! It was true, he had been a judge in his younger days, but he had no disposition to exercise the function of a judge in the present case. The responsi bility of assuming such a character was terrible. house were calling upon him to judge of of the most horrible questions ever presen*ed of bribery und corrup- tion! He was called upon to decide whether the Con- vention of Illinois had been guilty of bribery and eorrup- tion. He bad noright to decide sucha ion. Hehaa just as good a right to decide that this General Conven- tion were guilty of bribery and corruptien, as to decide that the diocese of Illinois was. The gentleman then had put t! 1 ato the house—would they, or would th zo the testimonials? They had no- thing to do he question whether thy bishop was, or was not, t° ld to perform his duties ‘This was a question for bishop himself and the diocese to de- cide. Furt he doctrine was quite new to him, that the lower should be called upon to decide an election to upper house. Why, the House of Bishops had ‘he same right that the House of Delegates had. They were the judg of the qualifications of their own members. Did this house consult the House of Bishops when they were deciding who were qualified to take seate there? This house was erfeotly competent to decide who should take seats ere; 80 were the House of Bishops competent to decide who should take seats there. The members of the one house could not be the judges of the other; but the one house mie ask for information from the other. The Hansa of Mahopa had seked them for information in the present case. ‘T'ney as<ed them—did they know any- thing against the election of this member’? They didn’t ask them whether the election was a good or a bad one. They didn’t ask whether the bishop was old or young; but what were the moral qualifications of the proposed bishop ?— Let the house decide the question, and every member would abide that dicisioa. The house had decided that he (Mr. H ] hada seat on that floor against any restric. tions. He believed they would be sorry for it—(a laugh } With regard to the oase of the assistuat bishop, the de- cision of the house would be final. It they should de- clare it their solemn sense that they could not sign the certificate, he could not do it. But let them not say te him, “ you are to judge of the election.” Now he would revert to the pusition which he entertained. The gen- tleman from N Jersey had put the subject on the pro- per footing. No conscientious man could siga the cer- tificate ifhe believed that the man proposed was not qualified vy learning and morality for the station He agreed with him that the highest more] qualifications were necessary. He shuddered at the idea of making ® bishop of a man not possessing the requisite attri- but Dr. Ooitey desired tomake an explanation. He was afraid that a misapprehension might go abroad as tothe import of his remarks. He was afraid trom the re: ence of the gentleman that it might be inferred that spoke of the moral purity of the bishop elect. He spok not of his moral but of his i jectual qualifications. Mr. Hucer apologized for the misapprehension. He took it for granted that the gentleman did not impute immorality or irreligion to gentleman; but he did understand him to say that he wae not @ man of sufll- cient learning, that his intellect was not large enough to grasp the duties of his office. And let him say now that this was the only consideration throughout the whol discussion, which had produced any effect on his mind the only one. Now, what did thie tlemun from New Jersey said he had not enough Other gentlemen said he had. Where idence aoe oun disclaimed all expression of the opinions of others. He simply stated his own opinion. He had acted conscientiously for himself. Mr Hvucen.—Well, I must act conscientiously for myself. Mr. Oct rns Mr. Hacea,—The gentleman must be desirous that all the members should be satisfied also. Ho begged of him to produce the evidence of the incompetency of the bishop elect, if he had any. ‘As Mr Hager resumed bis seat, the oall for the ques- tion was’ renewed from all parts of the house. A mem- ber from Ohio oalled for the vote by dioceses, and it was so put. The result was as follows yes—Of the clergy, 11; the laity, 7. Noes—Of the clergy, 16; ef the laity, 10. Divided—Of the clergy, 1 ; of the laity, 6. So the motion to prepare the testimonials for the sig- natures of the house was lost. Dr. Ociiey said that, if in order, he would offer the following resolutions, and move that they be rcferred to the committee on canons. Resolved, That it be referred to the committee on ca- nons to inquire into and report on the expedieuoy of r pealing canon 6 of 1832, entitled * Of Assistant Blahops;”” and in case they decide that it is Inexpedient to repel the same, that they report suoh amendments as they may deem proper. He lived, That it be referred to the committee on canons to consider and report upon the expedtoncy of so altering or amending canous 2d and oth of 1852 that the testimonials of the bishop t shall in all cases sub mitted to the action of the standing committees of the several dioceses, and no in no instance to the action of this house. The resolutions having been read, a member suggested that the order of the day must first be suspended. A motion to that effect prevailing, the resolutions were re- ferred accordingly. Rey. Dr Janvis, on behalfof the committes on canons, then presented areport, xabmitting drafts of two canons. the one entitled, “of dimerenees between rectors and their congregations ;” and the other un amendment to the cauon of 1832, “ of the officiating of ministers of this ohurch, and the formation of parishes within their pa- rochial cures.”” was On motion, the eanons were ordered to be printed Mr, Couuins, under the impression that the invitation ad by th etary in the morning, and ulladed to above, was for this house to attend the Wash ngton monument celebration, thought it would bo a matter of courtesy for the house to reply to the same respectfully It seemed, however, that the invitation read in the morning was addressed to the House of Bishops, where- upon the secretary now read ® communication from the same source, addrensod te the House of Delegates, re- questing their —— and co-operation in the contem- plated celebration.

The documents wore read by the beeretary, Dr. Van ivoen, of Western New York, then rose an addressed the house, He said; Mr. President: As gas of the members, who agree to propose general legis ation, I rise net to occupy the attention of ‘the house in any practical remarks, but to mal tow 8 tions, and to propose to direct our imme jiate action. | suppose, ir, that in conducting this discussion, ® wide latitude is expected on every hand, [ invoke, however, for the dix- cussion, the utmost calmness.

He begxed leave to propos ee ea inet commence the business by suspending the order of the day—the consideration of the report with the eanons as & whole, and that as the house of bishops, had. passed the seventh canon, they take up that canon for consl- derstion, He would submit whether this was not the Me Mesa: hought that cossary, r. MemMincer thought that no order was ne: but that the consideration of the first canon would oom inte a mene of course, lon. Mr. Rives thought the motion of the tle from W NY wag the correct one. He ‘understood that the report had been made the orderof the day forMonday. That order had been lald cver and they had now taken itup. The report cluded with @ resolution recom. mending the adoption of certain canons. That resolu- tion was the subject for action; but in order to dispose of that the Rev'd gentleman from Western N. York had very properly proposed to dispense with that for the purpose of taking up the first canon 4g amended by the House of Bishops. He entirely concurred with him, and hoped his motion would prevail. The wwotion was then put and agreed, te when the first canon as originally reported by the convention wus Sr ‘ i in a8 follows : — Judicial &: the Remission or ication ficial Sentences the House ef Bishoves hid 1 The House of Bishops may ai anial or special meet- 2 ing, altogether remit aad terminate any judicial 3 which may have been imposed, or may hereafter | 4 by the Bishovs, or any of them acting ns a Judi 5 nal, or modify the 6 of time or other sp 7 which, such sentence shall utterly ce: 8 force oreffect.

He would suggest that it read“ shall be called by the House of Bishops” On motion, the first amendment of the House of Bishops wos concurred in. Judge Cuamnens moved that the house now concur in the second amendment. Mr. Evans would second the motion, provided the words “who shall be,” be inserted before the word “convened” in the eleventh line. He wished to provide be 7 the presiding Bishop arrogating undue powers to imaself. Rev. Dr. Van Incen moved that the word “ special!’ be inserted before the word “ meeting’ in the tenth line, which was accepted by Mr. Evans. The question being on the two amendments, it was then put and agreed to. Rev. Dr. Fonses suggested that a further amendment be made by striking out the words ‘ house of” in the first line, and inserting the words, “the bishops of this chureh,”? Mr. Memounoer thought that if this amendment was made, other amendments would need to be made. The Seoretary would remind the tleman of one fact. In 1844, by @ concurrent vote of the two houses, the general convention dissolved itself, yet day after day they sat asa legal body. As they were now providing a new canon, let them provide agaiast the recurrence of another case of the kind. Hon. Mr. Newron, of Massachusetts, thought it im- —- to make the amendment. The general conven- ion at the lust convention decided that a certain paper should not be inserted upon its miautes, but the house of bishops, sitting at another time and place, did insert (ey their minutes the same plane on the ground that they had aright to do so.as a house of bishops. Mr. Wuanrton was in favor of letting the canon ctand “ house of bishops,’ aud explained his objections to the proposed amenuments. Mr. Evans suggested that the difficulty might be ob- viated by inserting the words “a bishop of tha church having jurisdietion within the United states.’ ‘Dr. @airsy considered that the house was no more perpetual than the House of Delegates. He intended to move the substitution or the word “senior,” instead of “ presiding,” as amended by the House of Bishops. Mr. Mem™incen would suggest an ameadment which he tnought would cover the whole ground, viz : insert ia the first line the words ‘‘the bishps of this church who may be entitled to seats in the House of Bishops Dr. Oaiuny movel to strike out the words, at a tri- ennial or special meeting,” in the first line, which onormrdifis e meeting, given person al pli amendment was agreed to. Dr. O. moved further to amend by eubstituting the word “ said” for the words ‘‘ House ef,’ in the eleventh line, which was agreed to. Dr. O. then movea to substitute the word “senior” for the word ‘ presiding,” as amended in the eleventh line. Theamend.avnt being objected to by several members, Dr. O. withdrew it. Dr. Meap, Secretary, moved to insert after the word, “convened,” in the eleventh line, the words “ by the pre- siding bishop on the application of any five bishops.” At the suggestion of Mr. Croes, of lowa, Rev. Dr. Bur- gess moved to strike out the word “after,” in the eleventh iine, which was to. eoretary, Dr. Map, fenewed the motiorto in- sert after the word “convened,” in the eleventh line, the words “by the presiding ‘pishop,” &o., which was agreed to. Dr. Meap moved further to amend, by inserti the word “ notive,” in the Sleventh fies, the ace bate writing,” which was agreed to. Mr Memminogn observed that the proposition ex- pressed by this canon was quite new in the legislation of this ovantry. It proposed that the pardoniag power, which had hivherto been confined to the executive power, should be put inte the bi of @ body exercis- ing judicial authority ‘his was a new proposition en- tirely—one of whioh they experivnce. Bae’be dia. not rise to objeot to the canon on that score; he would mvrely urge upon the house to take care that any new experiment be guarded He differed trom # majority of the people of this country; he believed that the puwer of pardoning was judicial power, and ought to be ex- ercised paren: authority. His experience was that when this power was vested in the hands of the exeou- tive, it wae more liable to be abused than to be exer- cised justly. He was rather gratified with the experi- ment they were about to muke—with the precident they were about to establish, of vesting the pardoniog power in the judicial authority; but it must be cautiously made. He proposed a farther amendment to the can- on, restricting the power of the bishop. Mr. Hupson, of W.N. Y., believed that the pardoniag power lied with the government properly and necessari- ly. The power to try a bishop had been placed by the church in the House of Bishops. They have, however, to pronounce sentence; he submitted whether they ought not ulso have power of remitting the sentence. He would euggest tothe member from N. C., that he modify his motion so as to make the same mumber of bishops com- petent to try, pronounce and remit sentenos. Mr. Mammincer made a few further remarks, expres- Coad Co the Hope Pe or yuld provide that no « ence be remitted or modified, except b; the whole body. aor as ainsi Dr. Mason rose to speak, but gave way to Judge Cuamsens, who proposed to amend the eanon, by aduing at the end of the thirteenth line, the words “provided vhat the said remission er modification be assented to by a number of the said-bishops, not lees than the number by whom the sentence was imposed.” Dr. Mason was cad he had given way, because he was atraid that he should not now bv able to effect his pur- Lege but, if in order, he ag move further to amend, ding the words—* the House of Bishops may.at = tri-annual general convention, altogether remit and ter- minate any jadiciat sentence” ‘everal other amendments were proposed and discuss- ed, pending which, the hour of hices areived, and on motion, the house adjourned to the usual hour this morning.

Adopted. Tae unfinished business of yesterday was then taken up, on motion of Mr. Trarrien, who desired to speak on the subject. He wished that calm consideration might be given to the report of the committee on the bishop’s oase, for there was amongst that committees the greatest frank- nyse and cordiality. He desired to make a tew remarks which might lead to the adoption of some general pro- positions which would be acceptable to all. Inthe first place, he would say that the sentence of the bishop was conclusive; it could not be reconsidered witbout # revo- luttonary movement or @ refusal to accade to it In the scgond place, the question of the justios or injustice of the verdict {ss s matter with which this house had nothing to do. In the third place, an exigency exists in the mutter before them. The resolutions of the New York diocese assume thas the diocese is in an anomalous position, In what consistiatne anomaly? It is that it affects the bishop and the diocese, and no mode exince foraremedy. ‘This snomaly w avon ve negligence cf the court; Co shut lips avd tie hands against affording relief. comes to us, t oh as within our 6 the diocese in # vacancy.

He conginued, the second remedy la, that the bishop be allowed to cut the knot himself, by resigning. This he thought must be repudi~ diated by every generous mind, for it would be equiva- jent to telling him he was lame, and could not live, and he had better sever an artery. A third proposed reme- dy, that an elestion of a bishop de nove take place Calied to order again by Mr. Witttams, who urged that the gentleman was not speaking to the question be- fore the house, Mr. ('karrien was aware that he would have to throw himself on the courtesy of the house, and he would again ask it as a matter of courtesy, to proceed. Vir. Trareiek—This has the seme objection—that it aggravutes the sentence, and this implies a power not vested in us These proposed remedies show that the remedy lies about the sentence, and it seemed to him it was not in ’be general convention.
